Seismic Qualification of Equipment
Seismic qualification is the process of demonstrating the safe functioning of equipment when subjected to earthquake loading. It is becoming a common requirement in many countries as new building codes are introduced and where the overall safety and continued functionality of critical systems is required during and following a seismic event.
Acrefine Engineering can assist you with seismic qualification of your equipment. We can provide analytical analysis and if required we can help with shake table testing.
Earthquake Risk Assesment
Seismic risk assessment and loss estimation is an essential first step to seismic hazard reduction for a building. Knowing the seismic risk and potential losses allows for proper budgetary planning, raising of awareness, assessment and allocation of the necessary manpower to take action.
Acrefine Engineering can help you to protect your investment. We provide independent seismic and wind risk assessment of mechanical and electrical equipment installations in buildings. Our engineers are experts in their field who have extensive experience in the seismic protection of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning) systems.
Vibration Analysis
In recent years architects and building design teams have become more aware of the potential noise and vibration problems from HVAC systems. They are aiming to eliminate these problems as occupants expect to live and work in quiet environments.
Acrefine Engineering offers vibration analysis services for the HVAC systems. We are ready to address your needs with a professional approach and to come up with the right solution.
Onsite Installation Supervision
HVAC systems are custom manufactured for a building. Projects can also have many iterations along the way until they are completed.
Acrefine Engineering can assist your project with onsite supervision. We will liaise with your engineers and technicians to make sure the drawings and instructions are followed. We will make every effort to achieve the best outcome.

Eimeria Faurei
Synonym: Eimeria aemula.
Hosts: Sheep, goat, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, Ovis ammon polii, 0. musimon, O. orientalis, Capra ibex, Rupicapra rupicapra (chamois), Ammotragus lervia (Barbary sheep).
Location: Small intestine.
Geographic Distribution: Worldwide.
Prevalence: This species is fairly common. Christensen (1938a) found it in 11% of 100 sheep from Idaho, Maryland, New York and Wyoming. Balozet (1932) found it in 21% of 63 sheep and 2% of 41 goats in Tunisia. Jacob (1943) found it in 40% of 100 sheep and 18% of 11 goats in Germany. Svanbaev (1957) found it in 43% of 302 sheep and 40% of 48 goats in Kazakhstan.
Morphology: The following description is based primarily on those of Christensen (1938a) and Balozet (1932). The oocysts are ovoid, 25 to 35 by 18 to 24 u, with a mean of 28.9 by 21.0 u according to Christensen or 31.5 by 22.1 u according to Balozet. The oocyst wall is transparent, delicate salmon pink to pale yellowish brown, 1 u thick at the most according to Balozet; with a faint, yellowish-green "external coat ... about half as thick as wall" according to Christensen. The micropyle is conspicuous, 2 to 3 u in diameter, at the small end. A micropylar cap is absent. An oocyst polar granule was illustrated by Balozet (1932). Oocyst and sporocyst residua are absent. The sporulation time is 1 to 2 days according to Christensen, 3 to 4 days according to Balozet.
Life Cycle: The life cycle of E. faurei does not seem to have been worked out in detail. According to Lotze (1953), its schizonts are about 100 u in diameter and contain thousands of merozoites.
Pathogenesis: This species is only mildly pathogenic. Lotze (1954) found that single infections of 3-month-old lambs with 5 million oocysts produced only a temporary softening of the feces without significantly affecting the general health or physical condition of the animals, and infections with 50 million oocysts failed to cause death.
Epidemiology: This species has been reported not only from the domestic sheep and goat but also from the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), moufflon (O. ammon), urial or shapo (O. orientalis), Barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia), ibex (Capra ibex) and chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) (see especially Yakimoff, 1933). Whether the forms from these species are all E. faurei remains to be proven by careful study of their oocysts and cross-transmission experiments. According to Lotze (1953), no cross-transmission studies, even between domestic sheep and goats, had been reported up until the time of his paper, and he attempted none.

It can play havoc with my physical injuries but there's no denying that training in a good 'Dojo' that operates within the structure of a national organisation helps me to cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I train with Sensei Rob Manning at the South Notts Shotokan Karate Club which operates under the umbrella of the Karate Union of Great Britain (KUGB).
One of the problems with PTSD is that the body sometimes reacts before the mind has had time to analyse the situation. To give you an example, a friend was once play fighting with me and without my consent. I said that I didn't want to but he didn't listen. After the second strike to my body I stopped him in his tracks with a throat strike. I didn't want to do it, I hadn't planned to do it ... my body reacted independently with a light throat strike that stopped him in his tracks. I'm sure there are experts out there that will argue that your body can't act without thought. I have a question for them - do you consciously instruct your sphincter to open when you're having a dump or is it a function that the body just does? It's the same with self defence - the moves become embedded deep within you.
Every now and then I meet a civillian that doesn't know anything about me and chooses to taunt me or to threaten me. My biggest fear is hurting someone through an automatic reaction. As veterans we're used to reacting without thought. I guess that was part of the conditioning at basic training.
I've been training with the KUGB since 1991. I took a long break owing to a serious road accident. The injuries are still with me and cause problems when I train but it's worth the pain because of the way that it helps me have a 'safety catch' over the PTSD 'triggers' that I live with. The main reason for this is the spiritual side of Karate and the associated culture:
Exert oneself in the perfection of character
Be faithful and sincere
Cultivate the spirit of perseverance
Be respectful and courteous
Refrain from impetuous and violent behaviour
You may find difficulties with regards to short term memory problems or perhaps your body will lock because your reflex action is to do one thing while your mind wants you to do something else ... but it's worth perservering.
If you live with PTSD, irrespective of whether or not you're a veteran, give Karate a go ... it can help you in a number of ways. It helps me.
A lot has changed since this piece was written. I achieved Shodan, gained my instructor qualification and opened up a dojo in North Nottingham. Please see www.meiyo.co.uk. If you live with PTSD or have had a bad experience that you survived or affected you in some other way ... please feel free to come in to the dojo and have a chat.
I still train at least twice a week and I learn from different senseis in the region or further afield. The learning never stops!

If there are multiple icon instances of one application in your Mac's Launchpad, then here is how to get rid of those duplicate instances:
- Delete, or you simply drag and drop the application from Launchpad to the trash. Lion OS will automatically remove all the icons in Launchpad related to that App.
- Then, simply drag and drop the App from the trash back to the applications folder. You will notice now there is only one icon for that App in your Launchpad.
I am hoping Apple will solve this problem soon.
OS X 10.6 or later does not have this problem anymore.

I fell off the recipe-updating wagon for concerning 2-3 months, however I plan to get mesmerized by my 53rd birthday with any luck. I provided it today as well as all of us adored this. Many thanks for the recipe and also congratulations, your weblog definitely is actually something exclusive. Co-authored through 470 Business Model Canvas professionals off 45 nations, guide was financed and also generated individually from the standard printing industry. We haven't seen the ready an even though, which leads a lot of to count on a significant showing off Shenmue 3 at E3 2017 Our experts may merely really hope. Our team learnt more about exactly how the video game is actually played in Taking Turns, our experts found out of Rochelle and her leaving behind the video game immediately, but our company do not receive any solution to just what upset her to leave - previously. Get the competitive extracts flowing with the addition from Apple's Activity Center as well as Amazon.com's GameCircle for achievements as well as leaderboards. I have never go through a book that is actually ever before impacted me through this or followed me no matter the years that pass. If I had to describe this publication in one word, that word will probably be … remarkable.Gamings that wish to adopt a freemium version can easily use in-game purchases to deliver unlockable amounts & information while giving component (or even all) from the game for free, boosting its own grasp to more gamers. In Michael Crichton's authentic 1973 movie, nonetheless, the cowboy destination is among three connected parks: the others are actually a Classical planet and also a Middle ages Planet … suggesting that a Thrones world can be a possibility. And also with that face as well as physical body, he is actually pretty much glued his setting in my leading 10 publication men from enduring.You'll be blown out by how intricate video games are actually these times if you haven't participated in a video recording game because PacMan. Acquiring a computer game console at launch is actually constantly one thing of a punting, yet more than ever along with the Change, you are spending for capacity. To begin with, permit me point out that just before reading this book I was unwavering in my passion for Gray Grayson.Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson which stars in Video game of Thrones as Gregor Clegane, aka The Mountain range, aka Ser Robert Tough, has said to Digital Spy that he understands merely how despairing enthusiasts are actually to find a face-off between his personality as well as bro Sandor (participated in through Rory McCann). I am actually heading to buy a duplicate from your manual as soon as I have actually received my compensation for this month!Off the Time 7 promos, that is actually crystal clear the White Walkers are on their method, and also they're most likely delivering a bunch of shabby perspectives with them. This is a particularly exciting headline given that it is actually certainly not only one from the very first open world games to be discharged on the brand new generation of gaming consoles, but likewise possesses a handful of new technicians that our experts've never ever really observed in a video game just before.I would like to make it clear that I know this book carries out not have the most authentic idea and also it also utilizes a great deal of tropes, but I still possessed such an exciting opportunity reading it. I enjoy the personalities and also the shock variable and also the globe. I have actually been creating these brownies considering that they seemed on your blog post over and over again.Those curious to recognize simply exactly how greyscaley is going to Jorah Mormont reside in Activity of Thrones period 7 will certainly be actually stired to recognize that Iain Glen, who plays him, has also been spotted - although unfortunately with no prosthetic incrustations on. I happened SO GODDAMN CLOSE to DNFing this book considering that that possesses about ONE HUNDRED spins as well as none make sense. The activity delights the feeling from the spectators when the gamers of one group put the round right into the goal from the challengers.It attempts therefore hard though, despite every little thing I simply discussed, as well as duplicates a GREAT DEAL off the exclusive Far Weep series of video games. Our company've acquired a bunch of well-liked indie games at reduced costs recently along with a handful of that are actually a little even more mainstream. Lego Marvel's Avengers is actually ranked PEGI 7 in Europe & ESRB E10+ in America for everybody 7 to One Decade or more mature. There are few activities as near to their resource component as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.I was actually so in to this publication that I keeping upped very, really overdue 2 evenings straight so I might find exactly what occurred following. If you have any inquiries regarding in which and how to use conversational tone, you can call us at our own site. Tony Stark on the contrary is a separate personality, and also aside from the fit possibilities, he is actually also quite handy in that he can easily correct damaged traits in the game world along with a welder. Surprisingly, one of my favored features of this publication was the newing romance in between Julian and also Scarlett.That is felt that other than some outstanding cases from pupils showing extraordinary skill as well as capability in certain video games, or even pupils that are assumed to become high up on the advantage listing in college exams, most various other trainees need to play one activity or various other, certainly not necessarily for obtaining accolades, for the benefit of sport.

Last post on at the beginning of May?! Okay… well… so… some things have changed. Personally, I feel it's very important to have all of your most life changing moments in a single year… you know shake things up a little…
Last post Jan 6th
Wow I've been slacking on writing stuff! On the plus side I haven't been slacking on doing stuff! I think probably the biggest change lately is my new obsession with VR and VR kit. I picked up a used HTC Vive and I was instantly hooked. In fact, within a couple of weeks the obsession started taking a darker turn:
VR Racing with a wheel, clutch, shifter… oh it's so good. It's like you're there, you can look through the corner just like you would on the track, and honestly it feels nearly as mentally fatiguing. You don't quite get the same 'fear' moments of approaching a corner too fast, but it's really really good. Thing is after playing a racing game in VR you can't really come back.
Been a while since last check in
Funny I look back and it's been a couple months now I think! I've been trying to make as much progress as possible in a couple of fronts, so I that's prevented me from writing all that much. Big news is:
818's motor is in!
Mission VIII: Svalarheima II Scorcher II
When last we left off our dubiously titled 'heroes' they were in the midst of a parlay with a group of Tohaa accompanied by a PanO liason, James Donally and scientist Adela Green. Suddenly the Tohaa seem agitated and start moving with more urgency. Tkazi backs towards the exit as a mighty pano knight comes out asking, "what's the meaning of this?!" The former Knight of the Holy Sepulchre turned Hexas agent, Markus Suparman marched out to interrogate James Donally as to why his comms just cut out. Tkazi, Shadow, and Kirk have noticed now too. All comms seem to be cut out, including the link to Izzi and Executive Noodles. They're on their own for the moment. In the mean time Tkazi does a close inspection of the security door. In fact it looks a lot more like an airlock or some sort of quarantine door. He relays this information to the Tohaa and they manage to disable the first lock.
A Tale of Two Engines
Well this is a bit embarrassing. Last weekend I was staring at my engine parts, vowing to call a motor shop on Monday and just have them deal with it! You see there's two problems with this motor.
Mission VII: Embark to Svalarheima
Picking up in the sadly interrupted due to time constraints last episode, we rejoin our morally ambiguous crew in the middle of a fight in the vault on Bakunin. I'm reordering some of the events here just to make it a bit more cohesive, but the first scene plays out just outside of Pelc Securities with a Haqq woman, a fixer by the name of Izzi. She's watching as a full on riot has started to break out, outside the security office and she steps inside to talk to her boss, the Chief Executive of noodles (not his actual title). As she walks in she sees that the reception area is covered in blood. Something is terribly amiss, so she sprints for the elevator and confirms with her dronbot, a little rooster looking bot by the name of Muraquib that they have all the authorization passcodes necessary.
818C One Year Later
The last couple weekends have been really productive on the 818C. With the progress I've made lately it feels like I haven't been doing anything the last year. It's important to look back a bit though. While I'm on pg 227, I've been skipping around a bit so it's closer to 200 completed pages out of the 700+ page manual
I think I also need to remember just how much work came before this. It wasn't just install the front suspension, then install the rear suspension. There was a ton of work drilling and riveting the sheet metal panels. There was a ton of work tearing apart the donor car. There was a lot of work getting the pedal box and the steering fitted up. Every part cleaned up, wire brushed, repainted… yeah… I've made a lot of progress.
Joan might have snapped.
We join Joan of HVT having just recovered from the med bay after her ill fated encounter with the Tohaa to find yet a new alien threat nearby. This time an invasion of combined army soldiers in a small scouting mission (Recon+). Being the ever faithful (bloodthirsty) Joan of Arc, she was ready to combat the combined army at any time and any place… especially since she brought a Seraph.
Mission: Acquisition…
Specifically acquiring all of the OPFOR's bullets into the Military Order's faces.
A rough mission for the mighty forces of PanOceania and the Military Orders! We decided to Acquisition as there's an upcoming local tournament and I hadn't played it before. My list was an interesting one and in spite of its poor performance (dice and some of my mistakes) I actually really think I like it. Might make some changes and shift a few things around, especially with the order groups, but it seems to have a lot of good tools.
Unfortunately I totally spaced taking photos until about midway through Turn one. Summary: I spaced the Magisters across the board. Order Sgts link went left to try and take high ground. Joan possible link and Xenotracker went right to try and head that direction.
Turn I: Magisters sprint up the board, then use their groups orders to power the missile launcher into the backfield. I try to blast template his link team of Sakiel, Sukeul, and Makaul, but fail miserably and have to stop and hide out. Definitely mistake one, I should have sent the shotgun Magisters instead, I just thought I could do better with a circular template.
We also both forgot about Acquisitions 16" deployment zone. I think that would have made a big difference in that first turn.
Labor Dabor
Three day weekend and I'd recently taken some PTO the week before to have a five day weekend, so I've made some progress! Not as much as I'd like of course (never is), but I did get quite a few things done now that I'm thinking it through.
The five day weekend started out perfectly, as I was heading out the door for work, I hopped in the truck and the starter just went 'click.' Super… I'd just replaced the battery so it was feeling a bit ominous. I wasn't entirely wrong, that said, I was a bit fed up, so I went to CarMax and we now have a lovely Ford Escape! I'm actually really pleased with it. We got the Titanium edition and it only has 30,000 miles, so it should be good and reliable for a while. Also it has lots of very fun gadgets and buttons like it can parallel park itself!

Asian markets have begun trading again after the Chinese New Year break. Last year was a difficult year for Asia but the outlook for the Year of the Pig is decidedly different. The US Fed is becoming increasingly dovish, the US Sino trade war is de-escalating, China may announce monetary and/or fiscal stimulus at the upcoming policy meetings and there are some signs of turnaround in the technology sector in Asia (Apple supply chain, DRAM/NAND 2H recovery).
Our call is that Asian markets will outperform developed markets (DM) this year. This call is a function of 4 main factors: growth, policy optionality, valuation and flows.
In this wire we discuss these points and explain why we think there is a lot of ammunition on the sidelines and that an Asian market rally could become a FOMO rally very quickly.
Developed markets companies are facing significant growth challenges. Let's start with the US. Many investors have been duped into thinking that fundamental growth in the US is fantastic. However, closer analysis shows that a high proportion of stated EPS growth is a function of share buy backs (i.e. the denominator effect in EPS), onetime tax cuts and changes in accounting rules (i.e. depreciation).
The chart below shows that in 2018, EPS growth for the S&P 500 was over 20% but almost half of that was non-core growth driven by tax cuts, interest changes and buy backs. Note that in 2019, primarily because there is no tax cut effect, S&P EPS growth falls to only 12%. In Asia on the other hand, buybacks is a very infrequently used strategy and there have been no major tax cuts, so EPS growth is almost exclusively core growth.
S&P 500: Core vs Non-Core EPS Growth
Source: CS, BAML, Ellerston Asia and Bloomberg.
For Australian investors, it is clear that the growth outlook domestically is becoming increasingly dire. On Friday the RBA finally capitulated on the economy's growth trajectory and revised its forecast down by a surprising magnitude (from 3.25% GDP growth to 2.75%). Similarly, economies in Europe and Japan continue to be unable to generate decent levels of growth despite years of QE and unorthodox monetary policies.
In sharp contrast to these developed market growth woes, Asian growth remains strong with GDP growth in the region expected to be approximately 5.7% in 2019. Ellerston Asia invests only in growth companies so the average EPS growth of our portfolio is very high, at approximately 19% p.a.
Policy Optionality Differentials
Policy optionality is an important part of our country allocation process at Ellerston Asia. We look at the growth trajectories of each Asian country and then analyse the tool box that policy makers have available to maintain that growth. Asian tool boxes are full and policy makers have considerable optionality, while the same cannot be said for developed markets.
GDP Growth and Interest Rates: Asia vs Developed Markets
Source: Bloomberg as of Feb 8, 2019.
For example, China has multiple levers to pull to keep the growth trajectory within the target range. These levers include: monetary policy (RRR cuts, interest rate cuts, mandated loan growth, reduced pace of deleveraging), fiscal policy (tax cuts, infrastructure spend), industrial policy (China 2025, property market relaxation, supply side reform, beautiful China) and currency policy (RMB depreciation).
Similarly, interest rates remain very high in absolute terms with interest rates in countries like India and Indonesia still at or above 6%. Fiscal balances are relatively healthy in the region and a number of Asian countries have elections this year (Thailand, Indonesia, India) that could usher in new, growth inducing industrial policies.
For the Asian region as a whole, this is a lot of policy optionality compared to the major Developed Markets where:
- Interest rates are low, near or at zero (US, EU, Japan);
- Fiscal balances are already stretched (Japan, Italy, Greece, US);
- Currency policy is hamstrung structurally (Euro) or practically (US strong dollar policy);
- The political climate makes it is much more difficult to implement step change industrial policies (Trump/Congress friction, Brexit, European Parliament elections).
Valuation Differentials
As shown in the table below, given the sell-off in Asian markets last year, there is now a significant valuation differential between Asian and Developed Markets. The MSCI Asia ex Japan Index is currently trading at 11.3x PE. As shown in the table below, major developed market Indices are trading at anywhere between a 19% (Japan) and 32% premium (Australia) to Asia.
Developed Markets PE Premium to Asia ex Japan
Source: Bloomberg as of Feb 8, 2019.
Flow Differentials
Emerging markets typically do not fare well in an environment characterized by rising US rates and a strengthening US Dollar (USD). This inverse relationship was evident in 2018 with the Dollar Index (DXY) climbing and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (MXEF) falling (see chart below).
Dollar Index (DXY) vs MSCI Emerging Markets Index
Source: Bloomberg.
Given this relationship, there were considerable outflows from Emerging Markets in 2018. The majority of this was in fixed income and passive EM equities, while flow data indicates that dedicated, active EM and Asia managers sold stocks and went to high cash levels. As a result of this positioning, there is a lot of ammunition on the sidelines and an Asian market rally could become a FOMO rally very quickly.
Asian markets (excluding Japan) are going to outperform developed markets in 2019 due to a number of factors including growth, valuation, policy optionality and flows. There are a number of catalysts that have already resulted in a turnaround in Asian equities including a more dovish Fed, a de-escalation in the trade war, Chinese stimulus and better than feared outlook for Apple and DRAM/NAND pricing.
Ellerston Asia, as at 31st January 2019, is positioned for a strong recovery in Asian equities with very low cash (less than 3%), overweight positions in Asia's two largest economies, China and India, and overweight positions in all of the mega cap Asian technology stocks (Tencent, Alibaba, Samsung and TSMC).
Good luck investing in the Year of the Pig. Maybe pigs can fly?

Lloyd C
However, China has issued more debt over the last 15 years than the entire US banking system. Will they be able to squeeze more GDP growth from what appears to be an exhausted credit engine given the implied bad debts that are already in the system and even if they can, would that not be a harbinger of even greater problems down the road?
Mary Manning
Hi Lloyd, Appreciate the question. I think the Chinese Government is very conscious not to repeat the mistakes of past easing cycles where excessive borrowing was allowed in order to stimulate economic growth. The Chinese government has worked hard over the past 3 years to clean up the financial system. Measures such as deleveraging at state-owned enterprises and local governments, reducing excess capacity in heavy industries and tightening regulations on lending practices are structural. As such, policymakers will be more cautious and selective in their stimulus actions this easing cycle. This will likely mean a greater focus on fiscal policies such as tax cuts to support domestic consumption and modest infrastructure spending along with some minor monetary easing measures such as RRR cuts. These measures should see China's economic growth improve throughout 2019, particularly if we get a positive resolution in the US/China trade dispute.

Henry, FOMO is the acronym for 'fear of missing out'...

Great article Mary. I wonder how much capital is going into Asia right now as that is where my portfolio has been targeting. I have not been investing for long but the feeling I get is stay clear where all the capital is flowing towards - bit like the Aussie housing market...

Source: Global Times Published: 2017-7-24
The UK Premier League`s Chelsea Football Club apologized to China and Chinese soccer fans after its player Robert Kenedy posted videos targeting the country and its people.
The apology was made on Sunday on Chelsea`s website in both Chinese and English, after the club initially posted an apology on its Chinese Sina Weibo microblog and Kenedy deleted his posts and appeared to have apologized.
Ahead of a pre-season friendly against Arsenal in Beijing on Saturday, Kenedy posted two videos with dirty words against China and the people on his Instagram account on Friday.
The first video was entitled, "Porra China (xxxx China)," before a second clip of a sleeping Chinese security guard with the caption, "Acorda China, Vacillator (Wake up China. You idiot)."
The footballer`s tirade baffled Chinese Chelsea fans, and sparked condemnation from the Chinese public.
"Kenedy`s actions were a mistake that he will learn greatly from. His behavior does not represent the entire team and does not align with the club`s high expectations and strict requirements of its young players," read Chelsea`s latest apology.
"Unfortunately, even though he quickly deleted the messages and apologized, and the club also apologized through our Chinese social media channels, the damage had already been done. Chelsea Football Club once again solemnly and sincerely apologizes."
"He has been strongly reprimanded and disciplined," it said in the post, reaffirming that the football club "has the utmost respect and admiration for China and loves our Chinese fans."
The letter also said Chelsea wants to keep working with and conduct more exchanges with China.
Chinese fans say they don`t understand why a player from their beloved football club would do such a thing while he and his teammates were warmly welcomed by Chinese fans.
Some fans called on the public to separate Kenedy`s behavior from the team`s. "Other Chelsea players and coaching staff are friendly to China and the Chinese people, and they put on a good game in Beijing in their 3-0 win over Arsenal, and also interacted very well with fans after the game. But these were overlooked by the public over Kenedy`s offensive behavior," an anonymous Beijing-based Chelsea fan told the Global Times.
Since the two videos were posted, many Net users fought back on Kenedy`s Instagram account with an imitation of the caption in his posts (such as "Porra Kenedy"). Kenedy deleted his videos and posted a statement.
As the Kenedy scandal grew, a Chinese student posted a video on Chinese social media showing him and his girlfriend being yelled at by an American woman at a New York restaurant.
The lady claims she is American and asks the "foreign dogs" to move from the table.
Chinese scholars said that China and its people should help foreigners rethink their bias and disrespect toward China.
People.com.cn, the website of People`s Daily, published a commentary on Sunday, quoting ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius as saying, "People who insult others are also insulted," to condemn Kenedy`s behavior.
"We thought that after the Beijing Olympics in 2008, China`s image would have largely improved, and we use our strength to help others through the Belt and Road initiative, and think foreigners will respect us more. Unfortunately, we might be wrong," Peking University professor Zhang Yiwu said.
Fudan University Cyberspace Research Center professor Shen Yi said such things still exist in the West, as they had inherited it from the old West-dominated international system. "West against non-West, whites against other races, they have never been thoroughly corrected."
The unfair criticism and bias against China in the foreign mainstream media have not subsided, however, this is also very normal, Zhang said. "When the US was rising, European countries also looked down on Americans. China is different from the West, so the bias won`t disappear immediately after our huge economic success," he said.

Xanax is a medication that belongs to class of drugs knowns as benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines have calming effect on central nervous system and include medications such as clonazepam, diazepam, flurazepam and lorazepam. Generic name of Xanax is alprazolam. There are also other brand names of alprazolam, such as Xanax XR and Nirvam. Xanax is taken orally, in tablet form but it can be also found in different concentrations (0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg and 2 mg) and in solution form (1mg/ml).
Xanax tablets are prescription medicine indicated for the treatment of anxiety and panic disorder. These conditions are characterized by increased brain activity that can be reduced with the help of Xanax and other drugs for treating anxiety. Anti anxiety drugs bring relief of anxiety symptoms by inhibiting neurotransmitters in the brain that induce increased brain activity. Alprazolam medications enhance the effects of Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) thus changing the brain chemical balance. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain that induces relaxation and sleep. Xanax increases the level of GABA in the brain which helps to significantly ease tension, worries and anxiety that result from depression. Due to this, Xanax is known as sedative, tranquilizer or central nervous system depressant.
Xanax may cause withdrawal reactions since it results in habit forming or addiction. This generally occurs if Xanax is taken regularly or for a longer period of time than directed by a doctor. Addiction to Xanax can be sometimes seen in adolescents and adults who take this medication as a recreation drug. To avoid withdrawal symptoms, Xanax must be reduced gradually.
Side Effects of XanaxXanax, like any other medication that effects on chemical balance of the brain, can cause certain related medical conditions. Xanax is mostly well tolerated but it may cause allergic reaction in people allergic to benzodiazepines. Common side effects of Xanax include: drowsiness, fatigue, irritability, memory problems, mood changes, slurred speech, trouble walking, increased appetite, changes in sex drive, constipation, weight gain and dry mouth.
Before using Xanax, you must tell a physician your medical history especially if that includes liver disorders, kidney disease or severe breathing problems. Since, Xanax causes drowsiness, a person that takes this medication should not drive, use machinery or do anything that requires alertness. Xanax should not be used in combination with alcohol since this may increase the effects of both alcohol and Xanax. This drug is not recommended for use during pregnancy since it may harm fetus. Xanax may also affect nursing baby since it passes into breast milk. Also, Xanax may interact with some prescribed and non prescribed drugs and you must inform your doctor if you take any medications.

Are You Discipling or Just Home Schooling?
Are we just following the crowd or do we have defining goals of why we educate? Do you understand the foundational differences between Christian Education and Public Education? Are you relying on curriculum, your DL school or the traditional way of doing school for your home education program? What are the different goals and thus how do these goals affect what we do in our programs and ultimately every day we educate our children? How you answer these questions will help determine a multitude of directions in your schooling decisions. If your goals are to disciple your children then you may find yourselves at cross purposes to the educational goals of our culture.

Mand Labs Customer Stories
What people are saying
The kit I purchased has been a great hit. It is exactly what I needed. I am teaching two of my grandsons. They are young so I am not focusing on the math at this time but using the book and the electronics components to teach the concepts.
I am also teaching my son who is 30 years old and an Economics majors graduate the basic of electrical engineering. He needs it to expand his knowledge to help him on his current job. He is a project manager and could use the knowledge.
Eladio Delgado
Retired electrical engineer
The kit was for me personally. I am 44 year old business owner located in NYC. I have always been interested in learning electronics but always failed to retain the knowledge because of the weak link between theory and practical.
I looked into schools or organizations that would give me a solid foundation but was unable to find something that would take me from zero to sixty quick enough and with enough of a balance between theory and practical.
Recently one of my machines at worked crashed mechanically and I was eventually able to debug the issue. However, with my luck the next day the electrical system malfunctioned and I was crippled. I was determined to finally get hatted in this area. Books did not work…and most of the kits are for children. I was very very close to buying the one from Elenco I think. It had snapping components which I felt would help me understand electrical diagrams. Then I found your kit. I chose it for several reasons:
- It seemed more for an adult.
- It did not have 700 or 1000 projects which I felt was ridiculous.
- It had video which would be a great substitute for a classroom setting.
- You understand the significance between theory and practical.
- Your kit was a stepping stone to branch out in whatever direction I wanted.
- The projects seem very diverse…that cover a broad span of lessons.
- You don't have 12 different kits to choose from. You had basically one kit and that kit was the only thing I needed to orient myself to electronics so I can decide on my next steps.
George Kalijan
Business Owner, New York
As a robotics educator for more than ten years, both in the USA and internationally, I found the kits engaging, fun and solidly grounded in science.
The instruction books are clearly written, demonstrating science principles in a way that students find rewarding and teacher find solidly educational. I use them in my introductory robotics programs for more than 80 students per school year. I would recommend them for any school program that teaches physics, robotics, or basic science.
Barton MIller
Singapore American School
I was looking for something that I can use with my kids to teach them about electricity. This kit is geared towards high schoolers and up, but I already had success with much younger kids-7yo and 9yo who have already played with other electronic sets and understand the basic ideas behind circuits.
This kit requires no soldering so really was a natural progressions. I think that high schoolers definitely will like using this set. It is so well organized, there is just no way of misplacing components. Although I can understand if they want to learn to solder but let's face it most circuits are printed these days and nobody needs to solder anymore. The books are colorful, well organized, everything is documented-step by step process and functionality.

(1) Multinational Managers and Executives
To qualify under the Multinational Manager and Executive priority worker category, the worker must have worked for the petitioner (or a subsidiary of affiliate of the petitioner) outside the U.s. for at least one year of the previous three. If the worker is already in the U.S., the required one year of employment in the past three will be determined by looking at the three years prior to the workers entry into the U.S. in nonimmigrant status. This work outside the U.S. must have been in an executive or managerial capacity, and the worker must be coming to the U.S. to fill an executive or managerial job. The U.S. business must have been established for at least one year before filing the petition. First line supervisor do not necessarily count as managers even if they are directly managing the work of other employees. To qualify, the manager must be supervising other professional.
(2) Outstanding Professor and Researcher Petitions
To qualify in the Outstanding Professor and Researcher priority worker category, the applicant must be internationally recognized for his or her outstanding achievement. In this category, the worker must have a job offer, but no labor certification is required.
The outstanding professor or researcher must demonstrate two of the following criteria:
- Receipt of a major prize or award for outstanding achievement in the academic field;
- Membership in associations that require outstanding achievements of their members;
- Published material in professional publications written by others about the applicant's work;
- Participation as a judge of the work of others in the field;
- Original scientific or scholarly contributions in the field; or
- Authorship of scholarly books or articles in journals with international circulation.
(3) Extraordinary Ability Petitions
The Extraordinary Ability priority worker category does not require a job offer. This means that either an employer may petition for an EB-1 extraordinary worker or the worker may petition for himself or herself. If the worker self-petitions, he or she must show evidence of contracts or prearranged commitments for future employment or a description of how he or she will continue to be gainfully employed in the U.S.
USCIS regulations define extraordinary ability as a "level of expertise indicating that the individual is one of a small percentage that has risen to the very top of the field of endeavor." The statutes state that this level of ability must be demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim and by recognition in the field by extensive documentation. USCIS will look for evidence that the work the individual will perform will substantially benefit the U.S.
In order to demonstrate extraordinary ability, the applicant must show that his or her ability has been recognized in the field of endeavor through sustained acclaim. This can be shown through a single major internationally recognized achievement such as a Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize or an Academy Award. Alternatively, the applicant can demonstrate three of the following ten criteria:
- Receipt of lesser national or international prizes or awards for excellence in their field of endeavor;
- Membership in associations in the field of endeavor that require outstanding achievements of their members as judged by recognized national or international experts;
- Published material about the alien and his work in professional journals, trade publications, or the major media;
- Participation, either in a group or alone, as a judge of others in the same or a similar field;
- Original scientific, scholarly, or artistic contributions of major significance in the field of endeavor;
- Authorship of scholarly articles in the field, published in professional journals or the major media;
- Display of the alien's work at artistic exhibitions or showcases in more than one country;
- Performance in a lead, starring, or critical role for organizations with a distinguished reputation;
- Commanding a high salary compared to others in the field; or
- Commercial success in the performing arts, as shown by box office receipts and sales.
Realizing that these ten categories of evidence do not encompass all the evidence that could be presented to show extraordinary ability, USCIS also allows for any other comparable evidence.
(1) Advanced Degree Professionals
The second preference employment category is reserved for two types of workers: (1) workers who are members of professions holding advanced degrees or their equivalent and (2) workers with exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business who will substantially benefit prospectively the national economy, cultural or education interests, or welfare of the U.S. As a general rule, a labor certification is required, although in some cases a national interest waiver is available.
A profession is an occupation in which a baccalaureate degree is the minimum requirement for entry level. An advanced degree is any academic or professional degree above the level of a baccalaureate degree. The individual seeking EB-2 classification must be entering a job that requires an advanced degree and the individual must either possess an advanced degree or a baccalaureate degree plus five years of progressive experience in the field to substitute for the advanced degree.
Labor certification is required for EB-2 Advanced degree professionals unless a National Interest Waiver is obtained.
(2) Exceptional Ability in the Sciences, Arts or Business
An individual can obtain EB-2 classification for exceptional ability in the fields of art, sciences or business. Athletics are considered an art for purposes of EB-2 classification. Exceptional ability is limited to aliens in the fields of arts, science and business.
USCIS requires at least three of the following six types of evidence to show exceptional ability:
- For advance degree EB-2s, official record of a degree from a college, university or other learning institution related to the field in which the alien claims exceptional ability;
- For exceptional ability EB-2s, evidence of ten years of full time experience in the field in which employment is sought (typically in the form of letters from past employers);
- A license to practice or certification if required in the occupation;
- For exceptional ability cases, evidence of a high salary or other form of payment that indicates exceptional ability;
- For exceptional ability cases, evidence of membership in professional associations; and
- For exceptional ability cases, evidence of recognition by peers or professional associations for achievements and contributions to the field.
For exceptional ability EB-2 cases, labor certification is required unless a national interest waiver is obtained.
(3) National Interest Waiver Petitions
The EB-2 classification requires a labor certification by the petitioning employer unless a national interest waiver is obtained. To obtain a national interest waiver the applicant must demonstrate that granting the EB-2 petition is in the national interest.
There are two kinds of national interest waiver applications available. One type is for physicians and the other type is for all other cases. The Administrative Appeals Office has established seven main factors that are considered in determining whether a particular job is in the national interest:
- Improvement of the U.S. economy;
- Improvement of the wages and working conditions for U.S. workers;
- Improvement of educational and training programs for U.S. children and under-qualified workers;
- Improvement of health care;
- Provision of more affordable housing for young, aged, or poor U.S. residents;
- Improvement of the U.S. environment and more productive use of the national resources; and
- Admission is requested by an interested U.S. government agency.
More recently, the Administrative Appeals Office has focused on three factors:
- The worker seeks employment in an area of "substantial intrinsic merit;"
- The proposed benefit the worker will provide is "national in scope;" and
- The national interest would be adversely affected if labor certification were required. In other words, the national benefit provided by the worker is so great as to outweigh the national interest in the labor certification process.
A physician national interest waiver is different from a standard national interest waiver. To be eligible for a physician national interest waiver, the foreign physician must:
- Agree to work full-time in a clinical practice for five years unless the immigrant visa petition was filed prior to November 1, 1998, in which case the period of required service is 3 years;
- Work in one of the following medical specialties: family or general medicine, pediatrics, general internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, and psychiatry;
- Serve either in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA), Mental Health Professional Area (MHPSA – for psychiatrists only), Medically Underserved Area (MUA), or a Veterans Affairs facility; and
- Obtain a determination from a federal agency or a state department of health that has knowledge of the physician's qualifications, which states that the physician's work is in the public interest.
A period of service in an underserved area can affect a physician's ability to apply to adjust status. A physician can simultaneously file for adjustment of status when filing the I-140 petition unless green card numbers are not immediately available based on backlogs in the EB-2 category.
By applying for adjustment of status, the physician can also obtain an employment authorization document. This relieves the physician of having to maintain any type of valid nonimmigrant status. However, the physician may have an independent requirement to maintain H-1B status as part of a J-1 waiver service obligation.
While USCIS will allow the physician to apply for adjustment of status and obtain work authorization, USCIS will not make a final determination on any adjustment of status application submitted by a physician who is seeking a national interest waiver until the physician has practiced medicine full-time in a medically underserved area for an aggregate of 5 or 3 years, depending on the application filing date.
Upon receipt of the adjustment application on Form I-485, USCIS will note the date the physician began medical service, provide the physician with a list of evidence that must be submitted after the required period and provide the physician with a timeline by which the physician must send evidence to USCIS.
EB-3 (Skilled Workers, Professionals holding basic degrees)
This category is for individual workers who are 1) "Skilled"; A skilled worker is one who has at least two years of experience in the job offered by the sponsoring employer, 2) "Professionals" in that they have at least a Bachelors degree and will be working in a professional position for their employer, 3) other workers, including those with un-skilled jobs are also included in this category.
The individual worker will be required to have an employer offer permanent sponsorship. The individual worker will be required to show the law of U.S. worker availability via the Labor Certification process. The Labor Certification process is the prerequisite to filing with the USCIS for an immigrant benefit. The Labor Certification process is an expedited PERM process.
Once PERM is approved, the individual worker can proceed with the immigrant petition or adjustment of status. When the USCIS approved the petition and applicant's visa priority date is available, the applicant can pursue permanent residency by either adjustment of status in the US or by consular processing at a US Consulate in their native country.
EB-4 (Religious Workers)
To be eligible for lawful permanent residence as a religious worker, you must be a religious worker for the past two years has been a member of a religious denomination which has a bona fide nonprofit, religious organization in the United States; and who has been carrying on the vocation, professional work, or other work described below, continuously for the past years; and seeks to enter the U.S. to work solely as a minister or priest of that denomination, in a professional capacity in a religious vocation or occupation for that organization and in a religious vocation or occupation for the organization or its nonprofit affiliate.
The EB-4 special immigrant process does not require a labor certification.

"But what if some don't want to live under our Constitution when the majority of people do? There is the door. To coin a phrase from yesteryear, 'America - love it or leave it.'"
During the past ten years, we have really seen the "Ying" and the "Yang". The "Ying", that would be President Obama, tried to pull this nation so far to the Left, we might have tipped over. But after eight long, tough years, he was finally gone. In reaction to the "Ying", we elected the "Yang". That would be President Trump. And he is pulling back from the Left so hard, we might get whiplash. These two men are as far apart as the east is from the west.
There are as many people how had a visceral dislike for Obama that have a visceral hatred for Trump. That is a big problem. Some on the Left might be thinking, "Oh boy! In the 2020 elections, we will vote this guy out of office and get someone like Elizabeth Warren in there!" Some others on the Right might be hoping for another term of the "Yang". Here is my perspective. The country is tired of being dragged from the far Left and then back again. I am thinking in 2020 we will have our first centrist President in a very long time.
Why would I say that? There are many, myself included, who think this country is about an inch or two away from being ungovernable. Look at sanctuary cities as an example. A FLAGRANT disrespect for the law of the land. Thumbing their noses at the federal government. This issue has all the ingredients for a showdown between federal and state (or city) law enforcement. If it every came to that, nothing good would come out of it.
I also think going forward this country needs to do some introspection. Many on the Left have a disdain for many parts of our Constitution. You know - it was written by old white guys about a zillion years ago. It is full of ancient rural incrementalism. It needs to be totally re-written to keep up with the times.
However, there is a growing chorus from those on the Right to hold a Convention of States. There has always been a provision in the Constitution for doing just that (Article V). This is like an acid test. It allows us to look at the letter and the intent of the Constitution and compare it against how we are operating today. If the government is not operating in accordance with the Constitution, it allows the country to make a mid-course correction and get it back to operating where it belongs.
Now here is where it gets tricky. The next President needs to be Constitutional. This should NOT mean he lives on the Right side of the street. Both the Right and the Left should be concerned about being Constitutional. And our "swamp" is not Constitutional. My belief is a centrist who is also Constitutional can govern this country nicely - as well as draining the swamp.
But what if some don't want to live under our Constitution when the majority of people do? There is the door. To coin a phrase from yesteryear, "America - love it or leave it."

I list below all topic groups, which I have done according to subjects, which they handle. You can return to this topic group by using this menu and the link Table of topic groups on the top of the each page.
|Table of topic groups > Front page of CSS-guide > Guide pages > 2. How to put CSS into Web pages > Linked and embedded style sheets (section 3/3)
In my mind it is always sensible to create external CSS-files, if you have three or more documents, where you want to use CSS-properties. Define to the separate file basic styles, which you want to use in your whole site!. Then we can speak about site-level style sheets.
Properties in external files have the same function as style attributes. For example
p {color:blue; border:1px solid blue;} has the same effect as
style="color:blue; border:1px solid blue;">. The latter definition is not however given directly to the element, but indirectly using an external file. If not otherwise especially defined
p {color:blue;... concerns all paragraphs in the document (I explain later in this site what is the purpose of definitions, which are before the declaration-blocks). Properties inside a style attribute concerns only one element ().
The effects are in both case quite the same as some HTML 3.2 presentational attributes. Using external CSS-files it however possible do the same effects as HTML attributes without using any attribute in the body parts of HTML-documents.
When you use external files, give to the file name like
basic_stylesheet.css and link it to your
HTML-document. Below is an example of the format of the link relation:
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
The code must be in the HEAD-part of the document. You can link to your own folders by using relative references or use for example core stylesheets of W3C. Below is an example of a link one of those style sheets:
<LINK rel="stylesheet"
External style sheets should not have any HTML-encoding! Don't put any HTML tags or comments to them. Below is an example of very simple external CSS-file:
/* Don't use HTML-comments. Use instead of them CSS-comments. */
body {color:#333333; background-color:aqua}
I recommend that you validate CSS-files with the W3C CSS-validator. It can be installed also as an offline version to HTML-Kit but I have found, that it doesn't work properly.W3C: CSS validator.
It is possible to refer external style sheets also by using the import (at-)rule. I explain in the next section of this page, how to use it. I give you also some examples, how to use external linked style sheets.
Embedded style sheets mean sheets, which are "embedded" to the
same document before the element
BODY between
<HEAD></HEAD> tags using the element
STYLE. We can call them as document-level
style sheets.
I recommend to put into those definitions properties,
which you use only in one document. You can
override properties in external CSS-files. If you for
example want to use in a certain document different
background-color and
properties, define only them. You don't need to define another
time all values. They stay in use, because the browser handles
first the linked style sheet.
Following examples gives to the document yellow
background with a new background image, which is in the center of
the document and which doesn't repeat (you can see in this
example also the right position of the element
and it does have also a link relation to the external style
sheets, where the document gets other definitions ():
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
<STYLE type="text/css">
<!-- /* these definitions are inside HTML
comments that's why that old browsers could pass them
body {background: yellow url(new_image.gif) no-repeat center;}
/* I explain in other connection, how to define background
properties */
By using embedded or external style sheets it is possible to use the the import rule (
@import; It belongs to at-rules, which I
handle later in this site). In the first example you can see, how the import
rule is used with the
STYLE element ():
<LINK rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
<STYLE type="text/css">
@import url(external_stylesheet.css); /* note that at the end of the rule is the sign
; -
without this sign the browser doesn't handle further definitions
/* definitions, which belongs only to one document
{font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-left: 32px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
margin: 0px;}
{color: #660033;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif;} /* remember, that this definition doesn't
cancel imported definitions in other parts than again definite
properties */
{font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
The other way to use the import rule is to put it in the beginning of external style sheets like in this example:
/* external_stylesheet.css - this is the main stylesheet; it is good habit to put a short description to the beginning of the style sheet about the contents of the style sheet */
@import url(another_external_stylesheet.css);
body {...} /* other definitions as usually */
Remember always, when you use the import rule, that the import rule is handled before other definitions. If there are several import rules they are handled in order starting from top. The basic idea of the import rule is that the browser reads imported style sheets as if they have been directly written in the place, where the import rules exist.
Browser-specific notes:
The import rule doesn't work in Netscape 4.x browsers.
MS IE for Windows browsers, which are older than 6.0 and also MS IE 6.0 if it doesn't work in the standard-compliant mode it reads also import rules, which are after other definitions. Don't put import rules into incorrect places! Test the model page - in that page should not be exchanges made by the style sheet ().
The import rule has many serious problems, if the purpose is to create media decent CSS. I handle those problems in the page How to set CSS for texts and different media types.
In MS IE Windows browsers (at least until MS IE 6.0) has the limitation of 30 embedded of linked style sheets.
Because MS IE 3.02
understand only the last style sheet defined by
STYLE elements, it creates its own problem, which
I don't handle closer.
Somebody might ask, why there is two ways to link to external style sheets (the import rule and using the
LINK element). The basic difference between them is, that in principle the
LINK element offers the possibility to change style sheet by defining alternate style sheets (
rel="alternate stylesheet"). In order to give the possibility to choice between style sheets, it is necessary to use the
title attribute.
Browser-specific notes:
Alternative style sheets work only in Mozilla Gecko, Opera 7.x+ and in the file explorers of Linux at least in Konqueror 3.1, which might use incorrect CSS-file. Because browsers don't keep them when going next pages they are in practice useless. Set alternate style sheets with cookies.
Opera and MS offers the possibility to set user style sheets. Especially Opera 4.x+ gives very fast way to change between user and author defined style sheets. I explain this matter in an extra page.
I handle in the next page which kinds of values CSS-properties can get.

I'm hoping I'll wake-up to find this is just a nightmare.
Has anyone noticed that the only fat person in North Korea seems to be the toddler who is their dictator? A few of his generals are also just a bit on the porky side, but the pictures of that fat toad Kim Jong Un waddling around verge on disgusting, considering that the average North Korean is far shorter and weighs less than the average South Korean. The height of the average South Korean WOMAN is approaching that of the average North Korean MAN. which is quite unusual and is due to the failure of the NK regime to adequately feed its people.
Un and Trump, with their silly haircuts, overfed bodies, and deranged egos, are a match made in heaven (or hell, actually).

It's hard to tell how porky are his generals, so laden are their cartoonish uniforms with phoney medals. Lugging around the rows of honored medals might help burn calories as well.

Advice to Combat Veterans
While I served, I never heard a shot fired in anger and more recent veterans have been through a meat grinder. I don't have their experiences or knowledge to give advice. Instead, here is something from one of them:
While I had my versions of post traumatic stress, mine was from something else and not combat. I DO believe that accepting that you are angry, why and that it is nothing to feel guilty about is important. The advice here is very similar to things I have done, albeit more intense.
I wish anyone reading this luck in finding the path that helps them most.

text: Today's Welsh national election is our chance to help change our country for the better. In these challenging times Wales needs a strong and ambitious party in government, not more managed decline as offered by the other political parties. Plaid has shown what needs to be done to protect Wales and it's now time to do more. Raising standards in schools, allowing teachers to teach, creating new jobs, improving our hospitals and protecting our environment are priorities. Reducing and then abolishing the Severn Bridge tolls and redeveloping and reopening our railways as part of the SE Wales Metro are a necessity. If we want an ambitious Welsh Government to get on with the job, then vote for it. So today vote for Wales - an ambitious Wales, a well-educated Wales, a healthier Wales. Remember to vote Plaid three times - for a better Wales. The Polls open until 10pm tonight! We can change things for the better.
