On shelves tomorrow, the replacement for Xbox 360's Arcade model has arrived. The new console will include all the trimmings of the freshly redesigned console bundle, including built-in WiFi, one wireless controller, five USB ports and the redesigned internal workings that offer a cooler and quieter running console. The primary difference will, of course, be the hard drive. The recently released Xbox 360 bundles contain a 250GB hard drive and sells for $299. The Arcade-like model will feature a 4GB flash hard drive only, but owners will have the option to purchase a larger hard drive, although no word yet on when and for how much the 250GB drive will sell.
Sales of the Xbox 360 have been extremely solid over the last month. Microsoft's console saw a 6-percent increase in sales, and outsold both the PS3 and the Wii. Those sales, however, were buoyed by older Xbox 360s being sold at discounted prices in order to make room for the new models. The release of the new 4GB Xbox 360 should determine whether the console is facing a new upswing in sales, or if the price of the discounted older units was a momentary spikes. The 4 GB model price will be in line with the current Xbox 360 Arcade at $199.

The National Federation of Independent Business recently reported that small businesses identified increasing health care costs as their No. 1 problem. While escalating costs hurt all employers, small business has been particularly disadvantaged by the way health insurance is paid for in this country. Short of more dramatic reform, Maine's small businesses and their employees would benefit by gaining access to larger insurance pools and an opportunity to participate in Accountable Care Organizations.
Let's face it — the United States health insurance system was not created with small business in mind. In fact, employers became the primary providers of health insurance only by an accident of history, when the federal government initiated a wage freeze during World War II and businesses competed for skilled workers by offering the additional benefit of health insurance.
The federal government encouraged businesses to include health insurance as a benefit by making employer-paid health insurance tax-free to employees. But what started as a fairly modest expenditure has become an unsustainable cost for small business.
Even though providing health care to the citizens of the richest country in the world ought to be a national priority, placing the cost of health care on the backs of business has been too much for many small businesses to bear. It has become a financial burden for many small businesses to provide health insurance but also a significant challenge for small businesses to attract employees without providing health insurance. Tying health insurance to employment creates a disincentive to start a business and a difficulty for small businesses to recruit and retain high-quality employees.
To compound the problem, many small businesses that offer health insurance to their employees end up paying more than larger companies because small groups have a higher risk pool with higher premium costs per employee. Insurance works most effectively when there is a large pool of participants but only a small number who make a claim against the premiums collected.
Small businesses have ended up in insurance rate setting pools with the least optimal characteristics and that historically have large claims. These out-sized claims drive up insurance premiums for the business and increase deductibles for employees. With higher insurance premiums, small businesses tend to shift more of the costs to employees and those employees also tend to have higher co-pays and larger deductibles than those in larger organizations. As their out-of-pocket costs increase, young and healthy employees often decline the insurance offered, which only exacerbates the situation by creating a vicious cycle that leaves only those people more likely to make large claims left in these high-risk pools.
But even if these insurance pools can be structured with a larger, more representative population, which is the hope of the Affordable Care Act in creating exchanges for small businesses and individuals, they will still have to overcome other weaknesses in our health care system to prevent costs from escalating. Health care costs rise for good reasons such as breakthroughs in medical technology and pharmaceuticals, as well as the simple fact that the population is getting older and requires more care. Insurance premiums also increase because the commercial sector is indirectly picking up costs for both the uninsured and the inadequate payments for care covered by Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, we can point to overuse of medical services, an abuse attributed to having third-party payers, and inefficiencies that arise in a system with fee-for-service payment methods that compensate physicians for the amount of services provided rather than hold them accountable for improving the health of their patients.
Accountable Care Organizations, or ACOs, such as Kaiser Permanente and those now forming in MaineHealth and Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems are trying to overcome these weaknesses in our current health care system. These organizations link patients, providers and payers in a system of mutual cooperation. Under ACOs, these plans provide incentives for patients to take greater responsibility for their own health with proper diet and exercise, physicians are rewarded by patient outcomes rather than fees for the amount of service provided and office visits, hospital stays and post-acute care are seamlessly linked to achieve greater efficiencies.
As health care costs continue to rise, there will be an increased outcry for solutions. Providing small businesses and individuals with opportunities to participate in larger insurance pools and in Accountable Care Organizations will be steps in the right direction.

Michael III
Michael III (Michael the Amorian or Phrygian), 836–67, Byzantine emperor (842–67), son and successor of Theophilus and grandson of Michael II. His minority saw the final overthrow of iconoclasm and a severe persecution of the Paulicians . Upon coming of age he entrusted the government to his capable uncle, Bardas, whose administration (856–66) was marked by the missions of saints Cyril and Methodius to the Slavs and by the conversion of Czar Boris I of Bulgaria. The Arabs continued their raids into the empire and extended their conquests in Sicily, although their eastward expansion was temporarily stopped (863). In the north, he defeated (860–61) the Russians. Michael made Basil of Macedonia (later Basil I) one of his favorites and together they had Bardas assassinated in 866. Basil was made coemperor. He then murdered Michael and became sole emperor. The schism precipitated by the patriarch Photius began in the last year of Michael's reign.

Interested parties are required to provide personal identifying information when making online applications for public housing. In San Diego, for example, applicants need to provide their Social Security numbers, names, and birth information for all family members and immediate dependents, states the San Diego County Government.
Certain personal details are required for online applications regardless of the state in question, explains the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This information is used to confirm identity and determine eligibility. Applicants must provide current contact information, including the address and telephone number. They are also required to provide names of everyone who plans to live in the house, and the relationship of each person to the applicant must be defined. An applicant is also required to provide information about the characteristics of their families or the current circumstances of the family.
In Seattle, most of the individuals making online housing applications need to provide information about the race and ethnicity of each person expected to take up residence in the house, indicates the Seattle Housing Authority. If one or more dependents of the applicants have a disability, this information must be included in the application. Other important details include the applicants primary language of communication.

6:15 am quick dusting
We haven't even had a flake yet! If we get hit, I'll post a pic. Gonna keep watchin this, I think we'll see some dandy snow pic's from the members on the eastern parts.
Quick dusting?....Looks like about 8 feet of snow if you measure it sideways
I hope im in the 36" belt!
Just a couple tiny flakes here an hour or so ago, wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't turned the porch light on.
But a good bit of a blast of wind went thru at the same time and now it's staying up pretty steady between 10-20 mph.
Just looked out a little closer, it's coming down sideways at a pretty good clip.
Nothing yet but I like the idea. My shep loves romping around in the snow and pretty dam good at catching snow balls too. Will get some pics up when things get more interesting.
8.30 no snow yet, east windsor
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and so on.....
Norwalk, CT
We have some you can come and get it, we'll share. The last I heard from some of the local weather people was about 28" or so.
I'll wait till it is over and then we will know until then it is models all the way down.
ETA: I don't know how long this link will be good but here is a look at parts of Portland, Maine
Not too bad here yet. Buses have been cancelled and it has been snowing (lightly) all night long. Prediction is we will get a foot to a foot and a half.
Just started here in Winsted.
7AM Friday, 1/4" of fine snow. setup a "wood burner certified measuring device", kind of hard to imagine that thing is forecasted to be at a MINIMUM half buried by tomorrow. potentially completely buried! With that said, the fluff factor of the snow and the wind may make getting an accurate measure virtually impossible
It's strange how much of the country doesn't (or didn't) have snow! Plenty here if anybody needs some.
Started up again. This is the storm coming from the west. The south storm is hitting here this afternoon
Light stuff here
yup, its sickening (the lack of snow we have) especially after hte lack of a winter last year. This storm should hopefully save what little is left of snowmobile season in new england
Don't you guys have jobs....Wish I could sit around and take pictures of snow!!
whats up with this your looking here ,GO back to work ,somebodys has to do it!
I no this world needs less people taking pics and doing more work
In the world of work, we call this lunch time...Now get back to doing nothing and leave me alone!!

With the death of I-Spy star Robert Culp police are to open an investigation into the recent death of 1960s TV spies. Only last week Mission Impossible actor Robert Graves succumbed to a 'heart attack.' A coroners spokesman said 'obviously anyone with an in depth knowledge of 60s TV spy shows would know how to make a death look like an accident'.
Don Adams who played Agent 86 in hit series Get Smart died mysteriously in 2005 and is thought to be the first victim. There was then a break before Patrick McGoohan star of Danger Man and The Prisoner died early last year.
Robert Vaughn who played agent Napoleon Solo has been taken into protective custody. Police are keen to talk to the elusive Quinn Martin in relation to these and other unexplained deaths.

Mel Gibson is not an anti-Semite (Nixon was not a crook, Bill Bennet is not a hypocrite, and Karl Rove has never leaked):
Apparently, he went on a rampage against Jews, whom he thinks are responsible "for all the wars in the world." Gibson also cursed and reportedly said "f****** Jews" and asked the deputy who pulled him over whether he was a Jew. Next he said "You motherf****r. I'm going to f*** you," threatening to flex his celebrity muscles to get back at the officer.
The star also harassed a female officer on the scene, telling her: "What do you think you're looking at, sugar t**s?"
By the way, George W. Bush is not a liar.

Harding Lawson Associates (HLA) conducted a field demonstration to evaluate in situ enhanced anaerobic biodegradation of chlorinated solvents using Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC). The technology is designed to enhance the natural biodegradation process for a more rapid and complete degradation of the organic contaminants to non-toxic compounds (e.g., ethylene). This paper presents the results from a field demonstration that was conducted over an eleven month period.
Technical Approach. Anaerobic biodegradation of chlorinated solvents such as perchloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) require highly reducing conditions to stimulate anaerobic bacteria to dechlorinate the solvents. The technical approach was designed to provide a carbon or electron donor source to create the conditions necessary to enhance anaerobic biodegradation.
Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC) is a lactic acid ester that is manufactured by Regenesis. When delivered to the subsurface, lactic acid, which has been shown to be an effective electron donor, is released continuously into groundwater. Because this material can be injected directly into the subsurface it can be used to deliver nutrients passively and enhance active biodegradation of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (cVOCs).
HLA conducted a field demonstration to evaluate the performance of HRC using a system designed to recirculate groundwater and create a treatment cell. The objectives of this test were to evaluate the rate and extent of chlorinated solvent biodegradation using HRC as the electron donor source and also to gather design data such as how long HRC would last and the extent of biodegradation along the groundwater flowpath.
Site Description. The site is situated in a historically industrial section of Watertown, MA. The general soil profile consists of approximately 13 feet of sand and gravel over approximately 7 feet of silty sand; then glacial till (an aquitard) is encountered. Groundwater occurs at approximately 8 feet below land surface and is contaminated with chlorinated solvents, including PCE, TCE and degradation products characteristic of natural biological reductive dechlorination.
Design, Construction and Operation. In the field demonstration, groundwater is extracted from three downgradient wells, and injected into three wells 17 feet upgradient. Figures 1 and 2 show the design of the recirculating system. Five 2-inch PVC monitoring wells are positioned between the injection and extraction wells to monitor the progress of the biodegradation process: a groundwater recirculation rate of 0.25 gallons per minute (gpm) establishes a single recirculation cell of about 30 feet in diameter (Figure 2).
lons per minute (gpm) establishes a single recirculation cell of about 30 feet in diameter (Figure 2).

It seems the illness has gotten worse as the father of two took to his instagram page a while ago to share photos of him getting a CT Scan, also called X-ray computed tomography.
In one of the pics he wrote "Went for a computed tomography scan today. Try to make sure am 100% fit and ok... It hasn't been
easy for me for the past few weeks. Thanks so much guys for the prayers,love and support Pray4me"?.
Since the post, his concerned fans
have been flooding his comment section with lots of prayer and get well wishes.

Papatoetoe High REACT presentation of Boko Haram and Darfur
The REACT programme aims to raise awareness and engage with students about armed conflict in the world. The programme does this by creating a fruitful dialogue between the students so they are able to understand the conflicts in their complexity. On Monday July 27th The REACT team presented to 30 students at Papatoetoe High School, where we focused on two conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa: the ongoing conflict by the group Boko Haram, and the genocide in Darfur. These are complicated issues that cannot be understood as a struggle between good and bad people. Because of how difficult these subjects are, it was very encouraging to see some excellent discussion and to watch the students engage with these topics in a mature and thoughtful manner.
Northern Nigeria and the Sudan are regions that face ongoing instability. There are various factors that contribute to this instability, such as scarce natural resources, poverty and corruption. In looking at the causes of conflict allows students to understand the reasons why people could come to commit such crimes. Engaging in such topics with High School ages students can be difficult, due to the sensitive nature of the topics. The idea was then to have the greatest interactions with the students possible but also between the students themselves.
When we discussed Boko Haram, a good surprise was having a Nigerian girl in the group who gave us her personal experience concerning the situation in Nigeria and the role Boko Haram has on the region as well as internationally. It also gave confidence to the other students to participate and answer the questions. The presentation was a living interaction with the students who really tried to understand the reasons and the different dimensions of the conflicts. In attempting to increase engagement with the students we discovered that students knew more about these topics than they imagined. Talking about the actions lead on social media for these conflicts helped them bringing up a few matters. Many students had heard of social media campaigns or well-known people who are involved in the crisis although they didn't realized it was about the same topic at the beginning.
When we moved on to discuss the current genocide in Darfur, the debate focused on the possibility of international military intervention and of prosecuting people who committed war crimes. Even though there was a general opinion that western military intervention and harsh penalties for the perpetrators of the genocide may not be the right solution for the conflict because these responses may only bring more violence. As an alternative, some students thought that reconciliation was more important than judging people for their crimes, even if they had to understand that what they've done was wrong. Such interpretations underline the difficulty to define the good and the bad parties in such conflicts when both sides committed crimes. Indeed, a lack of punishment for crimes against humanity and war crimes remains a burning issue because reconciliation isn't always possible without it.
We also had some activities to demonstrate to the students how many people were affected by the genocide we asked them to stand and then we separated the students into groups that represented those who were forced to become refugees and those that needed food aid. In this way, making the students stand and separating them into groups, help them realize that most of them would need this aid to survive.
This presentation ended on a really positive conclusion because almost all students wanted to participate to the UN #childrennotsoldiers campaign by having pictures taken which will be posted on the UN website and on the REACT Peace Foundation Facebook page. The comments were mostly positive and it seems that they felt concerned by those conflicts and learned from the presentation, which is ultimately the reason for the REACT programme.

Meet Marc Rayos, Alaska's Children's Miracle Network Champion...
After a year of feeling unwell, Marc was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammation of the large intestine. Most cases are treated with medication, but Marc's situation was so severe his large intestine had to be removed.
Despite multiple surgeries and painful procedures, Marc is mature and open about his condition, even joking about his colostomy bag with siblings and friends. "I know my illness happened to me because I could handle it," said Marc. "Other kids may not be able to handle it as well as me."
On difficult days when Marc didn't want to leave his bed, he could always be talked into visiting the pediatric playroom built and stocked using CMN Hospitals donations. Marc credits the video games there for getting him through each hospital stay. In addition to being an avid gamer, Marc also loves playing with Legos, reading and playing the piano.
Marc had such a good experience with The Children's Hospital at Providence that he has now signed on to be Alaska's Children's Miracle Network champion! Many thanks to Marc and his family for sharing their experience to help raise awareness and funds for The Children's Hospital at Providence!
Marc will be gaming with celebrity gamers Rick and Lisa Malambri on December 8th at 5 pm AKT/6pm PST to raise awareness and funds for The Children's Hospital at Providence. Check out the live stream:

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the ''t smisje' tag.
On Wednesday nights, I gather with some friends to drink beer and have a discussion loosely centered around spirituality. It's a "cell" group associated with Circle of Hope church. Three weeks ago, we decided to try out the Foodery as a new location. It actually wasn't my idea, though I went along with it wholeheartedly. As a result, I've been taking the opportunity to try some new beers each week. (If you don't know the Foodery, they have a ridiculously obscure and varied selection with over 875 beers)
This week I decided to try a pair of Belgian IPAs. I started with Taras Boulba. Brendan at the Memphis Taproom has been telling me to try this for some time, so when I saw it on the shelf I had to try it. If only for the name (Thanks Carina, for turning me onto Gogol). The second was a 't Smisje IPA+. They are 2 very different beers, but with some very similar traits. So lets compare and contrast.
Both beers poured a hazy gold, remarkably similar to a witbier. They both had a classic Belgian aroma, fruity and spicy. As soon as they hit the tongue though, it all changes. These beers are the driest things I've ever tasted. Its as if the brewers put nothing but bittering hops in, fermented it warm to get some yeasty phenols, and then let it sit till there was no residual sugar left at all. Actually, maybe that's exactly what they did.
The Taras Boulba was lighter and very refreshing. I can see why Brendan said it was a perfect post bike ride beer. But please, not more than one! My puckering lips and parched palate can only take so much of this dry bitterness! The t' Smisje had more malt and body, and a head like lemon merangue pie. At 10% ABV though, its definitely a sipper.
These pictures are terrible, I know. They are from my phone, which should be able to take good pics, but doesn't. Neither these pics or these comments really do these beers justice. They were wonderfully complex, and definitely deserve another tasting. I'd love to see how the 't Smisje ages.

Two men were shot on New Year's Day in Baltimore in the city's first reported gun violence of 2013, police said.
A 31-year-old man was shot multiple times in the limbs about 4 p.m. Tuesday near the 1100 block of Druid Hill Avenue in the Upton neighborhood, according to police. Responding to that location, police found the victim lying wounded on the sidewalk at the intersection of Division and Dolphin Streets. Police learned he had been shot by a man wearing a black ski mask before the victim ran to the intersection of Division and Dolphin streets.
The man's injuries were not considered to be life-threatening, police said.
A second victim was found in the 1300 block of Caroline Street in Oliver about 9 p.m. with a gunshot wound to the abdomen, police said. Oliver was among the city's most violent neighborhoods in 2012, with at least seven shootings, according to Baltimore Sun crime data.

I registered for this place on a whim. I don't really like editing here since some tropers take this wiki a little too seriously. But, oh well.
Outside of this site, I'm a cartoonist, fanfic writer, and Lady Gaga fan.
This isn't my only hangout. Why don't you check out some of these?
- my LiveJournal
- me on Super Mario World Central (a semi-famous Super Mario World 1 ROM hacking site
- me on Last.FM
Quirks of This Troper:If you see any of these in an article, it was likely written by me:
- ^^^^^You just saw the first one. Putting a after "This Troper". Likewise, I do this with other TV Tropes memes like "That Other Wiki" and "<character> is a Time Lord".
- When I'm writing a page about a work or creator, I never put the tropes in alphabetical order.
- By default, for work and creator pages, I always say "!!This thing uses the following tropes" before the tropes list. Likewise, for tropes pages, I say "!!Known uses of this trope" before the examples. However, I actually try to have a little bit of fun with my pages and put a little pun that's somehow relevant. For example, in TFF's page, I say "Shout...shout...let it all out. These are the tropes I could do without", as an obvious reference to their song, Shout. My pun for The Erotic Mind Control Story Archive is the most elaborate; the header thingy is a hypnotist telling Trope-Tan to go find every trope the site uses, and involves her responding. On the other extreme, we have Beautiful Agony and Brutal Mario, the only pages I've ever made that use the default message; for the former, this is because the pun I came up with was far too contrived and forced, while I couldn't come up with a pun AT ALL for the latter.
- I Entry Pimp The Price Is Right into any tropes that that show MIGHT have an example of. I also try to Entry Pimp my fetishes into Fetish Fuel areas.
- Sometimes I use Royal "We" to avert Conversation In The Main Page.
- With the exception of Playing With entries (where doing this is against the rules), I always pothole non-straight plays of a trope when I mention them. Like in the previous list item; I potholed the word "avert" to the "Averted Trope" article! In this vein, I may very well be the only person on the entire website to pothole Exaggerated Trope (rarely; I typically say "X uses this trope Up to Eleven instead), Discussed Trope, Defied Trope, Conversed Trope, Zig-Zagging Trope, Invoked Trope, and Enforced Trope.
- My female character in Playing With Wiki entries is named Kimiko instead of Alice; the very first few Playing With entries I made were for Asian tropes like Me Love You Long Time and Meganekko. Her full name is Kimiko Mikuru and she's an American of Japanese ancestry.
- I always use the folders for tropes pages. If I come across a pre-existing page that doesn't use the folders and I add an example to a pre-existing section, I usually leave the article alone. But if I add a new section (say, a "Web Original" section to a tropes page that previously didn't have one), then I folderize the page.
- When a work has more than five Crowning Moment examples, I move them to a separate page.
- I try to avoid potholing to redirects wherever possible. Whereas most tropers on the site just put up a "Crowning Moment Of Awesome" and call it a day, I actually take the time to make it say "Sugar Wiki/Crowning Moment Of Awesome" since, after all, Sugar Wiki is where that page is!
- Articles about websites always begin with a Describe Topic Here that says "Describe this website here." "this website" always hyperlinks to the home page.
- I <3 making redirects.
This Troper's Troper Works (list currently incomplete):
- Life In FCHS
- The World Of Nintendo
- Scooby-Doo: The Afterlife
- Alex's Price is Right
- RadioSP
- MTV Reloaded
- Powerpuff Beyond
- Sailor Moon Rises Again
This Troper uses the following tropes in general (those specific to his Troper Works can be found on those pages):

From the so-valuable-I'd-rather-go-without-oxygen 365gay.com comes a list of essential tips for picking up men on the streets. Read it and learn!
1. Go to a place where you're likely to find other gay men.Come on, readers, this is easy! You aren't even forced to chew gum at the same time. Well... maybe when you get to the Intermediate Level, but not in Cruising 101.
2. Start walking.
3. When an attractive guy passes by you, attempt to make eye contact.Remember: three -- and only three -- steps. Don't be one of those four-step losers. (And don't get me started on the twelve steps. 'kay?)
4. If you make eye contact, don't stop. Walk three more steps.
5. Turn and look over your shoulder. If he's interested, he'll do the same.
6. Face forward a walk three more steps.
7. Turn and look again. If he's looking at you too -- bingo!Unless he's looking at you because he's concerned that some random loser -- meaning you -- is looking at him. But don't let that deter you! Instead, proceed to Step 8:
8. Go up and introduce yourself.And make sure he knows that you only took three steps before pivoting.
9. Repeat as necessary.Even though Step 9 is sort of buried at the end of all these complicated instructions, this is actually the most important tip. Because you'll certainly have to approach a lot of men before one will talk to you after watching you do your Rain Man act as you count off your paces...
10. This technique can also be used in shopping malls, airports, or anywhere there are large numbers of people and room to walkYes yes yes! All too often, gay men think they can only cruise other gay men on specially-designated sidewalks. That's why I'm grateful to 365gay.com for reminding its readers that you can walk and pivot almost everywhere!
By the way, if you follow these instructions very carefully and still can't meet a man, there's always the old 'club him over the head and drag him home, then duct tape him to the bedposts and have your way with him' method. Just sayin'...

NEN-EN-IEC 62656-3 specifies an interface between IEC 62656 series and meta-model for CIM originally defined in IEC 61968 and IEC 61970 series of standards. The current CIM includes IEC 62325 series and the interface specified in this part of IEC 62656 also applies to the model defined in IEC 62325-301:2014. More specifically, this standard defines a formal mapping between the IEC 62656 and meta-model for CIM in order to import the CIM ontology into the IEC CDD, and to ensure the interoperability of ontologies of two standards, or even among a wider spectrum of standards. For the basis of the mapping from CIM to the data model defined in IEC 62656-1, the UML representation of CIM is referenced. As a result of the interface specification available from this part of IEC 62656, the smart grid ontology defined in CIM becomes accessible and interoperable in the midst of ontology pieces originating in other ontology standards, encompassing material, environmental, and mechanical, and logistic domains of information. In addition, the specification may also cover the lifecycle of products. This part of IEC 62656 also defines methods for transforming the IEC CDD content into the format defined in IEC 61968 and IEC 61970 series. However, this standard does not intend any standardization of the elements defined in IEC CDD as part of the CIM ontology, for all the definitions of IEC CDD are already part of an acknowledged horizontal International Standard known as IEC 61360-4-DB. Rather it makes the pieces of information stored in IEC CDD available for further standardization or customization in power electric domains or more specific user communities as a basic resource, in particular for the purpose of extending the CIM series of standards. The data model of this part is based on IEC 62656-1 which specifies the logical structure for a data parcel, or just simply "parcel," that is a short name for the medium of registering or transferring of product ontology. Such a parcel may be typically implemented in a leaf of a spreadsheet. The data model built on a set of parcels is called "parcellized ontology model", which is often abbreviated as "POM" in the remainder of this document. This part of IEC 62656 specifies: - the mapping rules and principles for importing CIM UML objects into POM; - the syntactic and semantic requirements on the parcellized CIM objects; - the piecewise version control mechanism in POM for the parcellized CIM objects. The following items are outside the scope of this part of IEC 62656: - definition of the interface between CIM UML and CIM RDF; - specification of syntactic and semantic requirements on CIM UML; - specification of syntactic and semantic requirements on CIM RDF.

CENTRAL STATES, SOUTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST AREAS PENSION FUND, a pension trust, and MARION W. WINSTEAD, ROBERT C. SANSONE, ROBERT J. BAKER, HOWARD McDOUGALL, ARTHUR H. BUNTE, JR., R. JERRY COOK, R.V. PULLIAM, SR., and HAROLD D. LEU, the present trustees, Plaintiffs,
MINNEAPOLIS VAN & WAREHOUSE CO., d/b/a DOWNTOWN MINI STORAGE, a Minnesota corporation, and ERWIN BRUESEHOFF, Defendants
Milton I. Shadur, United States District Judge.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: SHADUR
Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund and its Trustees ("Pension Fund," treated as a collective noun taking singular verbs) sued Minneapolis Van & Warehouse Company ("Minneapolis Van"), a now-dissolved Minnesota corporation, and its former sole stockholder Erwin Bruesehoff ("Bruesehoff") to collect past due interim withdrawal liability payments owed to Pension Fund pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001-1368 ("ERISA"), as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1381-1461 ("MPPAA").
Pension Fund now moves for summary judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. ("Rule") 56. For the reasons stated in this memorandum opinion and order, Pension Fund's motion is granted in part and denied in part -- but the partial grant is enough to provide Pension Fund with a total victory.
and Procedural History
Pension Fund is a multiemployer pension plan as defined in Section 1301(a)(3). Until the end of 1988 Minneapolis Van was subject to a collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local Union No. 544 under which Minneapolis Van was required to make specified contributions to Pension Fund on behalf of Minneapolis Van's covered employees.
On December 30, 1988 Minneapolis Van transferred the real estate that it owned at 106 First Avenue North, Minneapolis, Minnesota -- valued at $ 750,000 -- to Bruesehoff, then owner of 100% of its outstanding shares. Four days later Minneapolis Van dissolved and obtained a Certificate of Dissolution from the Minnesota Secretary of State. Either in connection with or before the time of its dissolution, Minneapolis Van transferred $ 54,000 in stocks, bonds and automobiles to Bruesehoff -- again wholly without consideration.
Neither Pension Fund nor other creditors received any value from the transfer of Minneapolis Van's assets (currently valued at $ 628,000) to Bruesehoff.
Pension Fund determined that on December 31, 1988 Minneapolis Van permanently ceased to have an obligation to contribute to Pension Fund, thereby effecting a statutory "complete withdrawal" (as defined in Section 1383(a)) from Pension Fund by Minneapolis Van and any trade or business under common control with it. As a result, Pension Plan says (though Minneapolis Van disputes) that Minneapolis Van incurred withdrawal liability to Pension Fund in the amount of $ 113,259.45, determined pursuant to statutory procedures outlined in Section 1381(b). After its transfer of assets to Bruesehoff, Minneapolis Van had nothing with which to satisfy any such withdrawal liability.
On September 5, 1989 Minneapolis Van received a Notice and Demand from Pension Fund seeking payment of $ 113,259.45, payable in a lump sum or in monthly installments of $ 4,753.02. On November 27, 1989 Minneapolis Van formally requested that Pension Fund review the assessment pursuant to Section 1399(b)(2)(A).
Pension Fund rejected Minneapolis Van's position in a letter received by Minneapolis Van on December 26, 1989.
Except for one payment in October 1989, Minneapolis Van did not make any payments in accordance with Pension Fund's Notice and Demand. Pension Fund's First Amended Complaint seeks:
1. recovery under MPPAA from Minneapolis Van and Bruesehoff for $ 71,295.30 in past due withdrawal liability payments plus $ 41,164.68 in interest, plus $ 14,259.06 in additional interest (pursuant to Section 1132(g)) (Count I);
2. imposition of a constructive trust on the value of Minneapolis Van's assets held by Bruesehoff (Count II); and
3. recovery of the value of those assets on the basis of Bruesehoff's violation of Section 5 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act ("UFTA"), Minn. Stat. §§ 513.41-513.51 (Count III).
This opinion addresses each claim in turn.
Minneapolis Van's Interim Withdrawal Liability
Congress enacted MPPAA in response to the advice of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"), a government entity created by Congress to administer the pension fund program. PBGC warned that ERISA's contingent liability provisions gave employers an incentive to withdraw from the program (see Board of Trustees of the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust Fund v. Thompson Building Materials, Inc., 749 F.2d 1396, 1399 (9th Cir. 1984)). As the Secretary of Labor testified before Congress, PBGC proposed this means to address the problem (T.I.M.E. - DC, Inc. v. Management-Labor Welfare & Pension Funds, of Local 1730 International Longshoremen's Association, 756 F.2d 939, 944 (2d Cir. 1985), quoting Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980: Hearings on H.R. 3904 Before Subcommittee on Labor-Management Relations of the House Committee on Education and Labor, 96th Cong., 1st Sess. 362 (1979)):
An employer that leaves the multiemployer pension plan would be required to pay its fair share of the plan's vested liabilities. The objective of this element is to discourage withdrawals and to provide a financial cushion for the plan which is not now provided by the present system because of ...

Gloucester's Job Market Growing Faster than London's According to Reports by Shaun Moore | Gloucester News Centre - http://gloucesternewscentre.co.uk/
Gloucester showed impressive private sector jobs growth in 2014-2015 of 5.5% according to the Financial Times, a higher rate than London.
London saw roughly a 3% increase in employment over the same time period. This fact can't be written off as modest success by a small city with percentages skewed by its relatively small population. Gloucestershire Live reported in February 2017 that Gloucestershire has the fourth highest employment rate in the UK at 80.7%.
Factors Driving This Trend
The high cost of living for workers and operating expenses for businesses are driving many banking jobs out of London to regional hotspots instead. Gloucestershire experienced nearly 100% growth in banking jobs in 2014-2015 due to this financial sector migration, a trend not expected to slow down anytime soon. The area has benefited from the shift of jobs from north to south by companies that literally cannot afford to be in London.
Another factor in Gloucestershire's private sector growth is that the area has been encouraging startups and SMEs, and it has seen many of these firms last beyond their first year and grow into strong local employers. One example of a great startup is Folderprinting.co.uk, which specialises in branded presentation folders for a wide variety of businesses.
Gloucester has always had a high ratio of public sector jobs, but has been working to grow the business sector too. Increasing the size of the private sector protects the area from job reductions in the public sector and is essential for future economic growth.
The refurbishment of local attractions like the Gloucester Quays has increased the tourism sector and restaurant industry. The Gloucester area has benefited from the rise of internet shopping and its abundant, affordable real estate. One doesn't have to have a warehouse in London to ship anywhere in the UK, and cheaper storage and distribution facilities in Gloucester's Business Park and Quedgeley are a major attraction.
Companies already located in Gloucester such as Bruton Knowles have chosen to expand their facilities in the area because of the relatively low cost of real estate. Gloucester remains home to a sizable aerospace industry, though companies like Ecotricity, a green energy company, seen as the future of the area.
Lessons to Be Learned
Tapping into the internet shopping and digital services economy requires strong existing logistics, which Gloucester has, and low enough operating and real estate costs for these companies to make a profit. A regional government that nurtures small businesses will see growth in the private sector economy, and employment will rise as these businesses expand and hire more people. An existing high-tech sector helps, but is not necessarily the engine of growth as the decline of northern England's mill towns and shipyards proves.
Gloucester is experiencing strong private sector growth, not because of a quirk in the calculations but its business friendly environment, relatively low cost real estate and strong infrastructure. Its emphasis on supporting small businesses that grow into large ones that stay in Gloucester is a key strategy to its continued long term success.

Taylor Swift took to the Victoria's Secret show catwalk in a Union Jack dress reminiscent of the iconic dress worn by Geri Halliwell to perform at the 1997 BRITs
BY Bibby Sowray | 14 November 2013
Photo: Getty/Rex
Geri Halliwell's Union Jack dress is up there with Marilyn Monroe's white 'Seven Year Itch' halter neck and Diana, Princess of Wales's Emanuel wedding dress when it comes to iconic clothing, so it's no surprise Taylor Swift fancied channelling a little of the Spice Girl magic at last night's Victoria's Secret show.
IN PICTURES: Victoria's Secret show 2013
But while the aforementioned number worn by Halliwell at the 1997 BRIT Awards owed its impact to a tea towel - more on that later - Swift's made clearly been custom-made especially for the 'Brit Invasion' section of the show. The paint-daubed gown featured one sleeve and long, flowing train and was accessorised with a tiny top hat and open-toed Union Jack heels.

Halliwell's infamous dress was actually a Gucci LBD customised by the Spice Girl's sister. "I got sent this black Gucci dress and I thought, 'What am I going to wear? That's a bit boring," Halliwell has previously said of the occasion. "And then I thought, 'Oh, my God.' I just got a light bulb and I thought, 'Brits - let's celebrate being British! And so literally I got my sister to stitch it; she stitched it onto the black Gucci dress. It's a tea towel, that's what it is!"

Louise Blanchard Birch Wellness Centre
Sometimes the best ideas seem obvious in hindsight. That's what happened when Louise Blanchard decided to take her skills as a Canadian Certified Counsellor and create a holistic practice with other professionals focusing on psychological, emotional and physical health care.
"I had worked for over 20 years in both public and private practice settings and found that many clients required a variety of expertise to fully address their needs. I'd refer them to other practitioners and the client would end up with several appointments in multiple offices around the city. My idea was to bring those collaborative resources together under one roof. As far as I knew, there wasn't anything like this in the private sector in Manitoba," says Louise.
That vision was the starting point for Birch Wellness Centre, but it remained only a concept until Louise found a downtown heritage building that she knew would be an ideal setting for a wellness center. She approached her bank for a start-up loan and was referred to the Women's Enterprise Centre of Manitoba (WECM). "I had never been an entrepreneur before and wasn't aware of the supports that were available. WECM helped walk me through the creation of my business plan. It was a steep learning curve, but they provided such great support in terms of helping me analyze the market and understand the stages of business development plus they provided me with a low interest loan to get the building set up."
With the location for the new Centre secured, Louise set out to recruit a group of like-minded colleagues to share the space and her vision. "We started with six other practitioners. The concept is that we are all independent practitioners but we regularly consult and collaborate as a group and refer our clients to each another. Fortunately, we had a fantastic core group to start with and everything grew from there."
The original projection was that the business would be at half capacity within the first year. After six months, Louise was pleased to see it growing at a much faster pace. "We are in the fortunate position of having a wait list of people who want to join us in the practice so it has confirmed that we are doing the right thing at the right time in our industry. The depth of skills and the number of people coming forward has been amazing. We're already bursting at the seams."
One of the key factors in that growth was the power of word-of-mouth referrals. Once you start with a good group of professionals, word spreads and you develop connections with other high calibre people. "We've been fortunate to attract people with decades of experience in their fields who then bring that expertise and knowledge to our practice."
Along the way, Louise says she's had some sleepless nights questioning the risks and decisions she's made, but she couldn't be happier with the way her vision/idea is unfolding. "The best thing about going out on my own has been the ability to be creative and make decisions without having to consult with too many people. I like the independence of being able to define how I want to work and, in turn, to be able to support and nurture the independent practices of all of the practitioners working at Birch Wellness Center."
Birch Wellness Centre launched in 2013 and Louise has big plans for the future. "We'd like to expand. Our office space is at full capacity but we can likely renovate to overcome that. I love looking at the possibilities as this venture starts to blossom. Right now the roots have taken hold but I want to see what more we can produce from this. It's a very exciting time!"
Birch Wellness Centre
The Birch Wellness Center is a professional center comprised of a comprehensive team of highly respected independent private practitioners with extensive expertise in clinical psychology, counselling and psychotherapy, clinical social work, psychiatry, nutrition, motivational interviewing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, marriage and family therapy, play therapy, naturopathic medicine, and massage therapy.
This success story is provided by the Women's Entreprise Centre of Manitoba – delivering resources and support to enable entrepreneurial women to achieve their goals for business success.

Here is a first hand look at Victoria's new DVB dress line which she showcased in a private viewing yesterday morning as part of New York Fashion week.
Vic's had this to say about the range,
"Structure is an important word to use when discussing my collection. The corsets and belts that have been incorporated into my dresses have been made in such a way that they are comfortable and supportive. My clothes are designed for women from a woman's perspective."
"I like to focus on the posture of a woman and how she holds herself, which led me to incorporate features such as modern corsetry and grosgrain details. In addition, there are finer grosgrain belts that are incorporated into the line of the softer constructed dresses to give this effect in a more subtle way, thus enabling women of all sizes to wear my dresses to create a magnificent silhouette."
Victoria is expected to be at her friend Marc Jacob's showing today in New York. Most likely front row. What do you think about Victoria's new designs?

In another of many Pure Land sutras, as named below, its contents are similar to that of the Amita[bha] Sutra (佛说阿弥陀经: http://wp.me/p5Bdbv-3E). Its distinction is the following excerpt between these corresponding parts of the Amita Sutra:
… 舍利弗,不可以少善根福德因缘得生彼国…
… Shariputra, one cannot use few good roots, blessings, virtues
and causal connections [causes and conditions] to attain birth in that land…
See Excerpt Below
… 舍利弗,若有善男子、善女人,闻说阿弥陀佛,执持名号,若一日…
… Shariputra, if good men and good women hear [learn] of Amita Buddha [Amituofo],
firmly [faithfully] upholds [practise mindfulness of] his name, if for one day…
In the excerpt are teachings of:
(1) the great benefits of mindfulness of the Rebirth Mantra for this and the next life.
(2) the immeasurable benefits of mindfulness of the name of Amituofo as the supreme
mantra, which encompass and surpass the benefits of the Rebirth Mantra.
It is worth noting that it is easier to practise mindfulness of the latter, due to its brevity, which facilitates memorisation, repetition and concentration. These are some reasons why mindfulness of the name of Amituofo takes greater priority. While some debate over the efficacy of mantras versus names of Buddhas, the name of Amitabha Buddha IS already a supreme mantra!
摘录: 佛说阿弥陀佛根本秘密神咒经
Excerpt: The Sutra Spoken By the Buddha on the Fundamental Esoteric Spiritual Mantra of Amita Buddha
Translated from Sanskrit to Chinese by Tripitaka Master Bodhiruci of Cao-Wei Dynasty
Translated to English from Chinese by Shen Shi'an (沈时安)
Moreover, Shariputra, Amita[bha] Buddha [Amituofo] has a fundamental esoteric dharani and spiritual mantra, which is named 'the Spiritual Mantra that Can Uproot All Karmic Obstacles for Attaining Birth in Pure Land'. Now is the mantra (Rebirth Mantra 往生咒) thus said:
Na Mo A Mi Duo Po Ye. Duo Tuo Qie Duo Ye. Duo Di Ye Tuo. A Mi Li Du Po Pi. A Mi Li Duo. Xi Dan Po Pi. A Mi Li Duo. Pi Jia Lan Di. A Mi Li Duo. Pi Jia Lan Duo. Qie Mi Ni. Qie Qie Nuo. Zhi Duo Jia Li. Suo Po He.
The Buddha said, 'If there are good men and good women, who can recite this mantra, Amita Buddha will often be above one's head, protecting one day and night, not letting enemies take advantage, ensuring peace and safety in this life; when nearing the end of life, allowing departure for rebirth in the Land of Ultimate Bliss [Amituofo's Pure Land].
又舍利弗,阿弥陀佛名号具足无量无边、不可思议、甚深秘密、殊胜微 妙、无上功德。所以者何?'阿弥陀'佛三字中,有十方三世一切诸佛,一切诸菩萨、声闻、 阿罗汉,一切诸经、陀罗尼、神咒、无量行法。是故彼佛名号,即是为无上真实至极大乘之法,即是为无上殊胜清净了义妙行,即是为无上最胜微妙陀罗尼。而说偈 曰:
Moreover, Shariputra, Amita Buddha's name is complete with immeasurable, boundless, inconceivable, profound, esoteric, rare [and superb], refined [subtle], wonderful [profound] unsurpassable merits. Why is this so? Within the three words 'A-Mi-Tuo [Ta]' Buddha, there are all Buddhas of the ten directions and three periods, all Bodhisattvas, Sravakas, Arhats, all sutras, dharanis, spiritual mantras, immeasurable [Dharma] practice methods. This is because that Buddha's name is equal to the unsurpassable Dharma of the true and ultimate great vehicle [Mahayana]. It is the unsurpassable, rare [and superb], pure and complete [whole] profound practice. It is the unsurpassable, most victorious, refined [subtle] and wonderful [profound] dharani. This verse is then said:
Within the word 'A' are the Buddhas of the ten directions and three periods.
Within the word 'Mi' are all Bodhisattvas.
Within the word 'Tuo' ['Ta'] are all the 80,000 [84,000] noble teachings.
Within the three words [Amituo; 'Amita' in Sanskrit] is [spiritual] completion [perfection].
Shariputra, if there are sentient beings, who hear [learn] of Amita Buddha's inconceivable merits, rejoice enthusiastically, mindfully recite with complete [wholehearted/single-minded] sincerity, with deep faith and without laxity, thereupon manifesting in one's body, [will be] the experience of incomparable bliss [joy]. Or [this can] transform poverty and lowliness, to gain of wealth and status. Or gain of the fruit of being exempted from being pursued by the suffering of sickness and adversity from former karma. Or transform a short lifespan, to gain of a lengthened life. Or enemies transforming their hatred. One gains children, grandchildren and prosperity, peace [ease] and joy of body and mind, and fulfilment according to one's wishes. Such merits cannot be named or calculated.

Teacher Resources
Estuarine Science Activities
"How Does the Density of Water Affect Ocean Currents?"
Level: Elementary, Middle School, High School
This activity examines water density and how it drives or creates ocean currents and creates layers in water. Two lessons investigate how temperature and the amount of salt in the water affect the density of water. A Marsigli's Box is used to demonstrate the properties of water density.
Activity (pdf file, 27K)
"Salt Marshes: Temperature and Salinity Effects on Plankton"
Level: Elementary, Middle School, High School
This activity shows how global climate changes will effect salt marshes, specifically the salinity and temperature. Brine shrimp will be cultured in different salt water concentrations and under different temperatures to show how increasing temperature and salinity will cause the death of plankton in salt marshes.
Activity (pdf file, 18K)
"Biodiversity: Food Capture and the Food Web of the Blue Whale"
Level: Elementary, Middle School, High School
This activity contains two lessons on the feeding ecology of the blue whale. In one lesson, students will learn about the physical features and adaptations the blue whale uses to capture and ingest food. Students use combs to simulate baleen and capture krill (dried herbs) from a pan of water. The second part of this activity is a game with teams of two students each using a game board and game pieces. This game not only teaches the food web of the blue whale, but also requires students to practice their basic math skills (addition).
Activity (pdf file, 49K) ~ Activity Worksheet (pdf file, 15K)
"The Greenhouse Effect: Global Warming"
Level: Middle School, High School
The teacher uses two models in this activity to demonstrate the greenhouse effect. One model has a covering of plastic wrap which simulates a layer of greenhouse gases and one model has no covering, simulating the normal situation where the sun's energy radiates back into space. Students must collect data during the demonstration and graph the results.
Activity (pdf file, 22K)
"Global Warming: Thermal Expansion and Sea Level Rise"
Level: Elementary, Middle School, High School
This activity shows that a rising global temperature will increase the volume of the oceans due to thermal expansion, causing the sea level to rise along the world's coasts. The process of thermal expansion is demonstrated for the class by the teacher. Students learn how the rising ocean will affect coastal areas by mapping sea level rise on topographic maps. An exercise showing students how to read and use topographic maps prepares them to map the course of the rising ocean themselves.
Activity (pdf file, 405K)
"The Effects of Ultraviolet Light on Plankton"
Level: Elementary, Middle School, High School
This activity shows what the effects of increased ultraviolet light are for plankton, specifically brine shrimp. Various strengths of sunscreen are used to block the ultraviolet light from penetrating cultures of brine shrimp. For one week, students monitor the cultures and record the changes in growth. Students make summary graphs of their results.
Activity (pdf file, 18K)
"How Sea Level Rise Affects Salt Marshes"
Level: Elementary, Middle School, High School
Students build clay models of various salt marshes in this activity. Different colors of clay represent the different types of land surrounding the salt marshes. Plot and elevation maps are provided so that the students can make realistic replicates of the marshes. Water is added to the models to show present sea level with additional water demonstrating how rising sea level will affect salt marshes.
Activity (pdf file, 22K)
"Beach Profiles: Monitoring Sea Level Rise (Field Activity)"
Level: Elementary, Middle School, High School
This is a field activity where students make a profile of a beach so that rising sea level and erosion can be monitored. Two poles are placed 10 meters away from one another and a premeasured string is attached to both poles. Distance measurements from the string to the ground are made at one meter intervals down the beach face. Measurements are taken from the dune crest to the water line. When students return to their classrooms, they make a plot (graph) of the data they collected to reproduce the profile of the beach. More information about beaches is available at the DOCE web site Beach Section.
Activity (pdf file, 20K) ~ Activity Worksheet (pdf file, 4K)
