Next generation sub-millimeter wave focal plane array coupling concepts: an ESA TRP project to develop multichroic focal plane pixels for future CMB polarization experiments polarization experiments. Presented at: Millimeter, Submillimeter, and Far-Infrared Detectors and Instrumentation for Astronomy VIII, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, 26 June 1 July 2016. Published in: Holland, Wayne S. and Zmuidzinas, Jonas eds. Millimeter, Submillimeter, and Far-Infrared Detectors and Instrumentation for Astronomy VIII (Proceedings). Proceedings of SPIE , vol. 9914. Bellingham, WA: Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, p. 991412. 10.1117/12.2231267
The main objective of this activity is to develop new focal plane coupling array concepts and technologies that optimise the coupling from reflector optics to the large number of detectors for next generation sub millimetre wave telescopes particularly targeting measurement of the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In this 18 month TRP programme the consortium are tasked with developing, manufacturing and experimentally verifying a prototype multichroic pixel which would be suitable for the large focal plane arrays which will be demanded to reach the required sensitivity of future CMB polarization missions. One major development was to have multichroic operation to potentially reduce the required focal plane size of a CMB mission. After research in the optimum telescope design and definition of requirements based on a stringent science case review, a number of compact focal plane architecture concepts were investigated before a pixel demonstrator consisting of a planar mesh lens feeding a backend Resonant Cold Electron Bolometer RCEB for filtering and detection of the dual frequency signal was planned for manufacture and test. In this demonstrator the frequencies of the channels was chosen to be 75 and 105 GHz in the w band close to the peak CMB signal. In the next year the prototype breadboards will be developed to test the beams produced by the manufactured flat lenses fed by a variety of antenna configurations and the spectral response of the RCEBs will also be verified.

ITEL 8.10.2013 – "Insane McCain" in Egypt, Embassy Closures across the Arab World
Inside the Eye – Live! for Saturday, August 10, 2013 found ourselves delving into some of the insanities and ineptness of United States foreign policy and foreign policy projection. The ineptitude of United States foreign policy was in full display as Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) made their way to Cairo as "special emissaries of President Obama.
Why President Obama would send two so clearly clueless and out of touch human beings for such an important mission is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, but perhaps the enigma is not so complicated: perhaps the Great Usurper sent McCain and Graham to Cairo where they could be seen for the fools that many see them already to be.
If such were the case, McCain and Graham did not disappoint. In one fell swoop, the clueless and inept McCain and Graham made great headway into destroying decades of cultured contacts between the two nations.
As reported in some media, McCain and Graham were treated to what amounted to diplomatically being tarred and feathered.
As reported by Yousef Ibrahim in Thursday's New York Sun,
"In a cascade of mutual recriminations over the past three days, [acting] President [Adly] Mansour and his prime minister, Hazem Biblawi, described [the] two senior American senators, sent as emissaries of President Barack Obama, as 'delusional' and 'liars.'
As reported, it got even worse.
McCain was accused of being a "senile old man" by the leader of the Egyptian Popular Current Party, Hamdeen Sabahi, who is a co-leader of the ruling National Salvation Front. After McCain tried to intimate that the disgraced former Muslim Brotherhood candidate and President Morsi had been removed from power it what he described as "a transition of power not by the ballot box".
In addressing the two Senators via a television interview, Amr Mousa who served as both foreign minister under former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and as secretary general of the League of Arab States, stated,
Neither of you are delegated to open the dictionary on our behalf to designate a coup from a revolution. Or course we did choose Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood companions via the ballot box, but that does not exempt them from consequences of criminal behavior."
The idea that criminals in power can be removed forcibly from office is apparently something the senile old men who tolerate criminality in their midst could not fathom nor understand.
US Embassy Closures Across the Arab World
In what could only be seen as a display of ineptness in U.S. foreign policy projection, the Western world was treated to a parade of scare-stream media about how mythical and unseen "intelligence" assets picked up and overheard a telephone conversation about a possible terror attack against the United States.
To hear Jewish main stream media assets tell the story, the United States had picked up "specific and credible intelligence" that led to the total shut down of embassies and consulates that serve and represent the United States in across the Arab world.
The truth of the story is that we were at the end of Ramadane in a week that was a shortened work schedule for most in the Arab world. Picture it all as the week between Christmas and New Years – lots of companies give their employees this week off.
The final week of Ramadan and the subsequent 3 day Eid al Fitr holiday that breaks the lunar month long fast has pretty much the same feel.
In hour two, The Fetch shreds the "terror story" in a somewhat humorous and yet exasperated tone as we all try to deal with the insanities of the main stream medias portrayals of the event.
Saudi Arabia Plays Diplomatic Offense with Russia on Syria
In the final hour, we discussed the diplomatic offensive put on by Saudi Arabia as the Saudi Intelligence Chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan (good to see him btw – he had been missing for some time) met with Russian President Putin and reportedly offered the Russians US$15 billion in arms sales if Russia softened its support for Assad and ceased blocking UN Security Resolutions against Syria.
According to numerous reports in media, Putin was informed that should Putin agree, the regime that would come to power in Syria would be "completely in the hands of Saudi Arabia".
There has been no official confirmation of the discussion, but it seems highly audacious for a foreign diplomat to go to the sponsor and backer of another country and inform the leadership of the sponsoring/supporting ally to give up what they have and give a country over to another country for the paltry sum of US$15 billion.
Of course, Russia has already paid dearly for their naivite in allowing the United States and its allies to conduct a "no fly" zone in Libya that rapidly turned into an air cover and air to ground assault support operation that led to the overthrow of Gaddafi and the loss of Russian influence in nearly the whole of Africa.
Somehow, the message seems to be loud and clear regarding Syria: the West and its allies in the Middle East will only settle for a military resolution to the conflict in Syria.
At least Russia knows now where everyone stands on the Syrian issue.

Erich and Kathryn are retired engineers with over 65 years of combined experience in engineering, manufacturing, and management. They started Five Star DEF to help families like them who travel and use DEF for their trucks and campers.
While in sunny Florida, we began to research Diesel Exhaust Fluid: What it is, how it's made, and how it works in our F350. We had already discovered that The International Standards Organization (ISO) is the source of governing documentation for DEF.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF is the acronym) is also known as Aqueous Urea Solution (AUS) 32. The governing specification for DEF is ISO22241 with a revision level of 2006. The ISO 22241 series provides the specifications for quality, storage, refilling interface, and test methods for DEF. ISO 22241 is titled "Diesel Engines – NOx Reduction Agent AUS32" and consists of the following parts and associated release dates:
These ISO standards (and other that they reference) are the authoritative documents for DEF. Period. If you use DEF that meets these requirements, you are using the DEF recommended for your vehicle.*
ISO specifications are only available by purchasing them, and cannot be reproduced or duplicated in any way. They are also expensive, but we already had decide that we were going to find, and possible sell, a better DEF solution. So we bought parts 1, 2, and 3. Total price: $320.00 including the ISO specification for "Water for analytical laboratory use - Specification and test methods", ISO3696:1987" that is referenced in Part 1 of ISO22241-1. What is revealed in these documents is the foundation for Five Star DEF; I'll go into more detail in the next part of this blog.
*What about API certification? I'll provide a detailed discussion on this topic soon, but the simple fact is that API Diesel Exhaust Fluid Certification is voluntary. See apidef.org.

As proof, I present to you Scylax, the wandering swordsman:
Scylax is an expert swordsman who has been travelling the world for over a decade on a quest to restore the sacred fire to his temple. His adventures have granted him experience, wisdom, and even a powerful weapon, but if you've ever played any role-playing games, you already knew that. Don't worry, he's got a few surprises up his sleeves yet.
This is the initial sketch put together for us by the people over at YDY-CG. We had a lot of elements to fit into a single portrait given his extensive travels. We envisioned influences from Greece, Persia, and even the mystical (eastern-styled) realm of Hyperborea. The talented artists over at YDY were able to make it work for us though, and after a few minor tweaks we moved on to some coloring.
Our first pass looked promising, but we felt the dark colors gave the impression that he is a villain when actually he is quite the opposite. Additionally, we still had some qualms with his upraised, fireball-wielding hand. It's hard to keep someone comfortably engaged in a conversation when you're threatening them with immolation at point blank range! Since we're using these portraits for the dialogue portions of Hellenica, we thought we still needed to tone it down a bit.
Here's where we ended up! The color palette feels more strongly tied to his relationship with fire, and the matching beard and hair in addition to some facial expression tweaks gives him the age that he needs to seem older and wiser.
What do you think?

touched my heart so much. i've been there. i am there. i don't think being brave has anything to do with not flenieg fear. moving forward and walking in peace doesn't mean that the powerful emotion of fear doesn't rise up it's stinkin' head. it's scary uprooting your family and starting over. there is not one thing easy about it. i'm the type to always look for a sign or some overwhelming flenieg of ahhhhhh. and for us this time it just didn't exist. being really courageous means walking forward when you know that's what you must do what He has laid out for you. the kicked in the gut flenieg does go away though. every day gets a little easier. that's definitely something to look forward to. praying for you this morning.

History of the Juvenile Justice System
A grasp of the current conflict surrounding the responsibility and direction of the juvenile justice system becomes more obtainable when one takes into consideration how the system has progressed since its inception. The juvenile justice system was created in the late 1800s to reform U.S. policies regarding youth offenders. Since that time, a number of reforms - aimed at both protecting the "due process of law" rights of youth, and creating an aversion toward jail among the young - have made the juvenile justice system more comparable to the adult system, a shift from the United State's original intent.

Good Garden Hose Holders
One of the issues that come up with having a garden hose is where to put it. Many people simply let them lay on the ground, but the solution is something far easier and much better. Get garden hose holders to store it on. Not only with garden hose holders keep your hose neatly wound, but these holders come in many different styles and materials. Garden hose holders are devices that house some type of hose when it is not in use. Different types of garden hose holders are used around the home, as part of fire fighting equipment, and in manufacturing plants. In some cases, the hose holder is more utilitarian in design and purpose. However, some options for the home are also designed to be decorative as well as functional. One of the most common examples of the hose holder is the simple hose reel. This handy holder is often found at private residences, and makes for easy storage of a garden hose when it is not in use. Available in both rolling and wall-mounted versions, the reel makes it possible to wrap the garden hose for easy storage in a workshop or garage.
Decorative versions of the garden hose holders are also found in many homes. Sometimes designed to resemble a large pot, these holders make it possible to wind the hose into the body of the device, then use a simple cover or lid to hide the hose from view. The holder can be placed conveniently on a patio or porch, and function as a decorative element in the space, especially when positioned among terracotta or clay pots that contain live plants.

Peter; This Holland Blog has really changed over the past few months. Before it was informative, somewhat comical, always controvercial and it just used to make for some good reading. Is there anything you can do to get it back to what it once was? LaMountain was funny even if he did write under 100's of names. He did generate conversation. Landgate is going to die because you're allowing it to get to the backs of peoples minds. Your Blog did a lot of good for your little community of Holland. You activate and mobilized the formally immobile to seek political office even though they knew they had no chance. You got rid of a bad Chief of Police. You did a lot of good. You kept the town employees and those who govern on their toes because they never knew where you'd turn up! I do so hope things get back to normal on these pages, soon. Thank-You for letting me air my thoughts.

Dogs. And Neighbors.
I am so frustrated. We had 2 dogs. 1 at a time. But because I have a neighbor that works nights She called the Police and Dog Officers on us. multiple times a day. Now we have no dogs. She has 2 dogs and they bark all the time. Day and night. And it is ok for her but not the rest of us to have dogs that bark. Yes and I had them Chained up out back of my house and they would bark. What dog doesnt bark. What the heck...... Karla was the only one that called the Police and Dog Officers.

Medicine for Money conclusion: money, happiness, alternativesPosted: March 19, 2012 Filed under: Medical School, Money, Physician Income, Premed, Premed FAQ | Tags: can money buy happiness, medical school debt, Money, motivation, Physician Income 2 Comments
As I help my blog through its identity crisis, I'd like to apologize to the followers who couldn't care less about this physician income series. It is written primarily for premeds, particularly those using and contributing to studentdoctor.net, where the question of physician income, as well as "should I do medicine for the money" comes up all the time. I felt compelled to write this series for two reasons, one being to offer a dose of reality to premeds drooling over some magical $200K pot of gold at the end of the medical education rainbow, because, as you'll see in this post, money isn't an efficient currency with which to purchase happiness. The second reason is to show any non-physician readers that not all doctors are "in it for the money." As someone who started down this track later in life, I was forced to think about income primarily to answer the questions "will I be able to provide for my family as a resident?" and "will I be able to manage the debt that I incur?" Not to mention the opportunity cost of leaving behind a career first to go back to college and take the prerequisites for medical school, then apply to medical school (one year process), and finally move on to medical school itself, effectively turning my back on 7 years of salary. In my circumstances that meant trading about $350,000 worth of income for ~$200,000 worth student debt. For a "nontraditional" (read: "old") applicant to medical school, "should I do medicine for the money?" is a laughable question; reflecting on physician income is simply pragmatism, a necessary evil.
Anyway, onward to the conclusion of this series. Can money buy happiness?
I just asked google for the third time this week. It took that many running starts to get through the top hits because, well, they sucked. The articles were too long, boringly written, and extrapolated the meager results of a couple of studies into overreaching, overblown conclusions.
I see this abuse of research everywhere (forgive the digression). In education, the idea of "learning styles" (visual learning, auditory learning, kinesthetic learning), is still fairly pervasive, even though there is no significant empirical evidence that catering to one sensory input actually improves learning. I don't actually care that people, including the majority of educators in American public schools, believe in learning styles without having any tangible evidence for their beliefs. What irks me is how people exaggerate the importance of a lack of evidence. Some psychologists did a review of the existing research on learning styles and found that no experiment in the existing fund of knowledge had been designed in a way that it could actually provide evidence for the popular model of "learning styles." Based on that literature review, people have started completely rejecting the theory.
I'm not saying I support or reject the notion of learning styles. Maybe I'll rant about that in a different post. What I'm saying is, this group of psychologists didn't even conduct an experiment. They didn't prove or fail to prove anything. They just did a literature review and said, to date, no one had supported "learning styles" with adequate research. And then people latched on to their article, sensationalized it, and started trashing the entire idea of "learning styles" as if there were suddenly a glut of new research that concretely and permanently disproved any "learning styles" theory. People just don't understand research and it's limitations. Digression over, perfect segue.
Plenty of different studies have examined people's responses to money, and the results of these studies are almost always discussed by the media under the theme "can money buy happiness?" One study showed people pictures of money before giving them a piece of chocolate. Compared to the control group, which consisted of people who were not shown pictures of money, the people who did see the images consumed their chocolate more quickly.
The people who conducted the study admitted that this could mean anything. The money-viewers might have thought about all of the germs and nastiness on dollar bills, which could have prompted them to eat more quickly. The germs serve as another possible explanation for the research finding, and if the findings of your research have multiple possible causes like that, your study has "confounding variables." If you have any confounding variables you cannot make a causal inference. You cannot say one thing causes another; in this case you can't even say "pictures of money cause people to eat more quickly." Although that is the phenomenon that was observed, there were confounding variables. "Fear of germs causes people to eat more quickly" is just as plausible an explanation. The experiment would need to be designed in a way that eliminated confounding variables if you wanted to directly link money, and not germs, to the people's behavior.
In spite of that, the media grabs hold of studies like this and blows them way out of proportion. Not only do they report that money was the cause of the quickened eating, confounding variables be damned, they take it a step further and say that money takes away people's ability to savor things. Talk about a flying leap. And don't even get me started on how the media latched onto the studies that purported "anything over $75,000 per year doesn't increase happiness," or the dismal lives people have led after winning the lottery.
Can money buy happiness? Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on you more than it depends on the results of any study. Chances are, if you're a happy, well-adjusted person you'll be happy with or without a lot of money and other factors should dictate your career decisions. Conversely, if you're generally unhappy, hard to satisfy, and prone to whining, no doctor's salary is going to make that go away.
Money is rarely a primary motivator anyway. People usually pursue money as a means to some other end. Motivation is a complex psychological phenomenon. Suffice it to say, secondary motivators don't have much leverage to improve happiness. Life outlook, personality, and attitude are much stronger correlates to happiness. Some people need nothing to be happy. Others aren't satisfied with anything.
It helps to have your basic needs met, no doubt. It helps to have a little extra. But there are a lot of different ways to get there; medicine is just one option. If you feel like money is one of your primary motives, you'd be a fool not to consider other career options.
That's it, no more about money for a while.

I haven't been framing my work because it is quite expensive, but I finally bit the bullet and framed a couple pieces. One of the frames I needed done in a day, in order to enter it in a gallery show (sadly, wasn't accepted). I had lost all hope of finding a place that could get it done in time, until I called up Frame it Yourself in Westwood. The owner picked out a great frame, had it done in a few hours (a custom frame, not ready-made), and didn't even charge me extra for the speedy turnover.
He helped me pick out a second frame, which was also perfect. Thank goodness for his help, because I didn't really know what to look for, and kept picking out frames that did not go at all.
The store also had a lot of cute ready-made frames and I'm already picking out which paintings to frame next. A friend told me that the Hillsdale public library displays a different artist's work each month in their meeting room. I think that is so fabulous, so I'm going to try to get enough framed pieces together for a little show.

London bus explosion scares residents unaware stunt was part of film shoot
The Foreigner
- Movie
A London double-decker bus exploded while crossing Lambeth Bridge on Sunday morning as part of a film shoot, scaring residents and tourists who weren't aware it was for a movie.
According to the Associated Press, the stunt was filmed for The Foreigner, a action-thriller starring Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan. Adapted from the book The Chinaman, The Foreigner tells of a restaurant owner who surpasses his moral boundaries to track down the Irish terrorists who killed his daughter when the justice system fails him.
Production had sent out notifications and put up signs ahead of the planned explosion, which some on social media pointed out. Others claimed they weren't properly made aware of what would transpire, while the AP reported that city officials reassured the public on Sunday.
Author Sophe Kinsella tweeted that the scene scared children in a nearby park. Nigel Huddleston, a member of Parliament, wrote there's "clearly a need to improve notifications" after tweeting video footage of the stunt.
"Local residents and businesses were informed and notices posted in lobbies and [elevators] saying to expect 'a controlled explosion.' But the scale and realism of the explosion would have worried a lot of people who were quite a long way off and not able to see the film crew and cameras," Huddleston said (via The Guardian). "Walking past Parliament a few minutes later, some tourists clearly had no idea whether it was real or not."

EDISON, NJ -- This has been an educational and successful year for the Wardlaw+Hartridge Upper School Model United Nations team. Under the leadership of President Neil Shah of Edison, Vice President Ryan Brace of Scotch Plains, and Secretary-Treasurer Rihan Sajid or Careret, the team has grown, both in size and in skill, with new delegates gaining an understanding of the ins and outs of not only Model UN, but real-world global political discourse and action.
Over the course of the year, the delegates have been challenged to represent and debate global opinions on a myriad of subjects, including women's rights, indigenous rights to ancestral land, reproductive rights, access to humanitarian aid, and the bureaucracy of the UN itself. In addition to these modern issues, some delegates have been tasked with impersonating and arguing on behalf of historic or fictional characters, debating action in fictional crises.
The team sent delegations to three conferences this year: Monroe-Woodbury, EMPIREMUNC (held at NYU) and AMUN (held at Bergen County Academies). At the latest conference, AMUN, Pranay Arora of Edison, Rihan Sajid and Neil Shah won awards or commendations for their performance in their committees. The Model UN team is proud of all that they have accomplished and looks forward to future achievements in the years to come.
The Wardlaw+Hartridge School (1295 Inman Ave., N. Edison) is Central Jersey's premier PreK-12 independent school. The campus is located near the Scotch Plains border and just five miles from downtown Westfield. It is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational day school that prepares students to lead and succeed in a world of global interconnection. Wardlaw+Hartridge provides an educational atmosphere characterized by academic challenge, support for individual excellence, diversity, and a familial sense of community.

Wickham Horse Fair
The annual Wickham horse fair takes place on May 20th since a royal charter was granted for a livestock fair on the square in 1269. Still steeped in history and tradition, the centre of the village is closed to traffic as horses are paraded and traded. A bizarre spectacle as this Hampshire village is temporally transformed with horses crammed into the streets, tethered to any available fixed object.

Anti Brexit Campaigners
Steve Bray from Wales has given up his job to stand outside Parliament every day protesting against the decision to take The UK out of The European Union. Back in 2017 he started The 'Stand of Defiance European Movement' (SODEM). He has caught the attention of several of The Lords and one has loaned him a flat so that Steve can continue his daily vigil. Sometimes a loan figure waving his flags but usually joined by various protestors who share his sentiment.
Days of action take place outside parliament with people travelling to Parliament Green from across the UK. In Steve's words "Its not a done deal".
Traders of Borough Market one year on from the terror attack
A year on from the terror attack at London Bridge, ES magazine revisited the famous Borough Market to see how the traders have bounced back. Photographing the various characters it was clear to see the sense of unity and camaraderie amongst all who work at the capital's oldest market. Former offshore fisherman Paul Day, 55, whose stall, Sussex Fish describes the first week back after the incident:
'I've never seen anything like it — the reaction was amazing,' he says, tears welling up. 'The amount of hugging! There's a young girl who walks through here in the mornings on her way to school called Matilda and she came through with a heart she'd made for me and her dad said, "She's been really worried about you." I just broke down in tears.'

By Natalie Wise, Vikes Communications
October 22, VICTORIA, B.C. – The University of Victoria Vikes men's field hockey team lost a well-fought game against the visiting Vancouver Hawks on Saturday. Although the final score was 5-1 in favour of the Vancouver side, the Vikes were unlucky to earn a point as both sides were evenly matched, each carrying former and current national team players.
The first half of the game was characterized by an onslaught of opportunity and well-balanced play as both sides traded chances. This made for an exciting, but deadlocked, match-up. Vikes goalkeeper Davis Robertson (Vancouver, B.C.) was outstanding and made several key saves to keep the Hawks off of the board.
With mere minutes left in the first half of play, the Hawks put one away to make it 1-0. Robertson was unable to make the save as David Jameson, current member of the Canadian men's senior team, redirected the ball on net after a hard hit was sent into the Vikes' defensive circle.
The second half of the game began much like the first as both teams forced turnovers and created high-pressure situations. Less than five minutes after the whistle to start the half, third-year Vike Samuel Jones (Vancouver, BC) took a quick, opportunistic free hit just before the 25-yard line and blasted it on net. Deflecting off of a Hawks' defenseman, the ball snuck across the line and the Vikes advanced to a 1-1 draw.
After ten minutes of end-to-end action the Hawks made good on a penalty corner and went up 2-1. Looking to once again get even, the Vikes pinned the Vancouver side deep into their own end but unfortunately, after a flurry of opportunity, the UVic men were unable to capitalize and still down by one. A well-executed counterattack by the Hawks saw another goal, this time by former Vike Connor Meakin, putting the Hawks up 3-1.
Looking to make one last push, the Vikes tuned their line-up to go heavy-handed on the attack but in the end were left vulnerable defensively and in the last five minutes of play the Hawks netted two more goals to close the deal.
Next up for the University of Victoria Vikes men's field hockey teams is a game against West Vancouver, Oct. 27, 2 p.m. at UVic.

The below architecture has been proposed by the Danish architecture firm: BIG Architects and is one of the 3 designs shortlisted for the St. Petersburg Pier International Design Competition.
I kind of love how the concept has been developed with a fine-eye not only to pier activities, but also as a way to attract tourists and people and guide them along the way – and provide activities on-spot to keep them busy.
Here is a little detail about the below given design:
- Bustling activity will be channeled towards the 'wave walk' which undulates to dip and rise from the water,
framing a swimming pool and small holding area for kayaks, canoes and small scale boats.
- Plaza below the arch may be used for outdoor markets and as a band shell pavilion for concerts
- Concerts, Atrium climbing, inflatable balloons, boat rides, swimming and much more activities available in and out of the pier
Check it out!

Excellent service from wheelbase! Regular contact via email and always respond quickly. There was a slight delay in deliver as my wheels had to be ordered from Germany but nothing major. I did panic when I went to fit the first wheel and didn't know where the spiggot rings were but I found them eventually. Wheels fit perfectly and totally transformed the look of my touareg. Couldn't be happier! 10/10

Excellent service and support! It's my second set of alloys bought from Wheelbasealloys and as the first time the service and support received from the team was outstanding. Would recommend them anytime! As for the Wolfrace wheels - they are awesome, perfect fit and made the car have a more aggressive stance.

17" Calibre Motion wheels The wheels arrived next day ( despite Corona virus ). Excellent quality. Packaged very well. I'm chuffed ! They look small on my vehicle, which is my fault not Wheelbase. So may end up selling these and buying 19".....will go straight back to Wheelbase without hesitation....

Tuesday morning, Congressman John Conyers announced his immediate retirement and went on to endorse his son John Conyers III to take his seat.
The 88-year-old Conyers made his decision two weeks after sexual harassment allegations first surfaced, and after returning to his Detroit-area district last week to discuss his political future with family and advisers. The democratic Michigan representative said in a local radio interview Tuesday on Praise 102.7's "The Mildred Gaddis Show":
"I am retiring today. I want everyone to know how much I appreciate people's support."
The most recent accusations surfaced Monday, detailing how more than a decade ago, Conyers allegedly slid his hand up a woman's skirt and rubbed her thighs while they sat next to each other in church. This latest accusation came after Conyers was hospitalized as soon as he returned home. Conyers has denied the allegations against him.
Days after the first allegations surfaced on November 20th, Conyers stepped down as the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. But fellow party members had increasingly called for him to step aside including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California. She said last week that Conyers should resign, amid increasing accusations and backlash for her calling him an "icon" on women's issues and suggesting an ethics investigation must come before any decisions are made. Pelosi said Thursday:
"Congressman Conyers should resign. He has served our Congress and shaped consequential legislation (but) zero tolerance means consequences for everyone — no matter the great legacy."
Still, he has some Capitol Hill support from the Congressional Black Caucus, which Conyers helped found, with the group saying the accusations are serious but did not call for his resignation.
The news website BuzzFeed reported back on November 20th that Conyers' office paid a woman more than $27,000 under a confidentiality agreement to settle a complaint in 2015 that she was fired from his Washington staff because she rejected his sexual advances.
The House Ethics Committee announced the following day it started an investigation into Conyers, after receiving allegations of sexual harassment and age discrimination involving staff members and about the congressman using "official resources for impermissible personal purposes."
Later that week, lawyer who worked with Conyers on the House Judiciary Committee, Melanie Sloan, said she was called into the congressman's office to discuss an issue and found him "walking around in his underwear." She also says Conyers often screamed at her, fired and re-hired her, criticized her for not wearing stockings and once even ordered her to baby-sit one of his children.
Monday's allegation that went public was from Elise Grubbs, a cousin of another accuser, Marion Brown. Brown reached a confidential settlement with Conyers over sexual harassment allegations, but broke the confidentiality agreement to speak publicly last week. In an affidavit made public, Grubbs says she worked for Conyers in various roles from about 2001 to about 2013. She also said that she saw Conyers touching and stroking the legs and buttocks of Brown and other female staffers on "multiple occasions."
Conyers is among several D.C. lawmakers — including Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken and Texas GOP Rep. Blake Farenthold — facing problems amid the recent wave of sexual-misconduct allegations hitting Capitol Hill.

President's Guidance: McKenzie Friends (October 2008)
Date: 14th October 2008
In the light of the recent decision of Munby J in the case of Re N (A child) (McKenzie Friend: Rights of Audience) [2008] EWHC 2042 (Fam), the President's Guidance of 14th April 2008 requires amendment to the penultimate paragraph headed "Rights of Audience". The Guidance of 14th April is therefore now withdrawn and reads as follows in its reissued form.
In the light of the growth of litigants in person in all levels of family court, the President issues this guidance, which supersedes that of 13th May 2005. [2005] Fam Law 405, and is to be regarded as a reminder that the attendance of a McKenzie friend will often be of advantage to the court in ensuring the litigant in person receives a fair hearing.
- A litigant who is not legally represented has the right to have reasonable assistance from a layperson, sometimes called a McKenzie Friend ("MF"). This is the case even where the proceedings relate to a child and are being heard in private.
- A litigant in person wishing to have the help of a MF should be allowed such help unless the judge is satisfied that fairness and the interests of justice do not so require. The presumption in favour of permitting a MF is a strong one.
- A litigant in person intending to make a request for the assistance of a MF should be encouraged to make the application as soon as possible indicating who the MF will be.
- It will be most helpful to the litigant in person and to the court if the particular MF is in a position to advise the litigant in person throughout the proceedings.
- A favourable decision by the court, allowing the assistance of a MF, should be regarded as final and not as something which another party can ask the court to revisit later, save on the ground of misconduct by the MF or on the ground that the MF's continuing presence will impede the efficient administration of justice.
- When considering any request for the assistance of a MF, the Human Rights Act 1998 Sch 1 Part 1 Article 6 is engaged; the court should consider the matter judicially, allowing the litigant reasonable opportunity to develop the argument in favour of the request.
- The litigant in person should not be required to justify his desire to have a MF; in the event of objection, it is for the objecting party to rebut the presumption in favour of allowing the MF to attend.
- Factors which should not outweigh the presumption in favour of allowing the assistance of a MF include
- the fact that proceedings are confidential and that the court paperscontain sensitive information relating to the family's affairs
- the fact that the litigant in person appears to be capable of conducting the case without the assistance of a MF
- the fact that the litigant in person is unrepresented through choice
- the fact that the objecting party is not represented
- the fact that the hearing is a directions hearing or case management hearing
- the fact that a proposed MF belongs to an organisation that promotes a particular cause
- The proposed MF should not be excluded from the courtroom or chambers while the application for assistance is made, and the MF should ordinarily be allowed to assist the litigant in person to make the application.
- The proposed MF should produce a short curriculum vitae or other statement setting out relevant experience and confirming that he/she has no interest in the case and understands the role of a MF and the duty of confidentiality.
- If a court decides in the exercise of its discretion to refuse to allow a MF to assist the litigant in person, the reasons for the decision should be explained carefully and fully to both the litigant in person and the would-be MF.
- The litigant may appeal that refusal, but the MF has no standing to do so.
- The court may refuse to allow a MF to act or continue to act in that capacity where the judge forms the view that the assistance the MF has given, or may give, impedes the efficient administration of justice. However, the court should also consider whether a firm and unequivocal warning to the litigant and/or MF might suffice in the first instance.
- Where permission has been given for a litigant in person to receive assistance from a MF in care proceedings, the court should consider the attendance of the MF at any Advocates' Meetings directed by the court, and, with regard to cases commenced after 1.4.08, consider directions in accordance with paragraph 13.2 of the Practice Direction. Guide to Case Management in Public Law Proceedings.
- The litigant in person is permitted to communicate any information, including filed evidence, relating to the proceedings to the MF for the purpose of obtaining advice or assistance in relation to the proceedings.
- Legal representatives should ensure that documents are served on the litigant in person in good time to seek assistance regarding their content from the MF in advance of any hearing or advocates' meeting.
What a McKenzie Friend May Do
- Provide moral support for the litigant
- Take notes
- Help with case papers
- Quietly give advice on:
- points of law or procedure;
- issues that the litigant may wish to raise in court;
- questions the litigant may wish to ask witnesses.
What a McKenzie Friend May Not Do
- A MF has no right to act on behalf of a litigant in person. It is the right of the litigant who wishes to do so to have the assistance of a MF.
- A MF is not entitled to address the court, nor examine any witnesses. A MF who does so becomes an advocate and requires the grant of a right of audience.
- A MF may not act as the agent of the litigant in relation to the proceedings nor manage the litigant's case outside court, for example, by signing court documents.
Rights of audience and rights to conduct litigation
Personal Support Unit & Citizens' Advice Bureau
• Litigants in person should also be aware of the services provided by local Personal Support Units and Citizens' Advice Bureaux. The PSU at the Royal Courts of Justice in London can be contacted on 020 7947 7701, by email at email@example.com or at the enquiry desk.

You can achieve this by doing some search on the topics that are trending when the design is being carried out. This will enable to connect better with the consumers. It also helps to stay trendy and original. The trick is to speak to the target consumers without loading them with loads of information.
The label should be colorful.

The custom label can be made to stand out more by give them a more striking color. To get the potential consumers more curious, simulate their comfort and security. The final label design should want the customer want to pick the beer and have closer look at it. You should also remember to keep the response of the customers in mind. This you can achieve by assuming you are a customer who have seen the design of the label for the first time.
Let the label elicit emotions.
If you want to craft custom beer labels that are memorable, you will want the potential consumers to the think of the beer when they are doing some of their favourite activities. By creating a connection between the drink and favourite activity, the consumer will always look for it when engaging in those activities.
Keeping the label balanced is important.
The label design should involve use of shapes and images. However, you should avoid overloading the customers. The words used should also not be too many.
