2. What it feel like to be blindsided by your own tribe?
"You get hit with a numbing sensation, like you were just pumped up with anesthesia. You feel nothing. You're emotionless. You're just empty. I don't even know how to explain it.
I remember just looking at Jeff Probst, seeing my flame getting snuffed, walking off Tribal looking back like, 'Damn. This is the end of my Second Chance opportunity.'
It gets real emotional because you invested a lot of your time and a lot of people invested their time in you, so you're disappointed in not being able to do well and not meeting people's expectations."

I would like to set the record straight regarding Mr. Bob Klaus' misstatements in his letter to the editor dated July 20. Mr. Klaus criticized me for supporting a president who abused his office by over use of executive order. However, the facts do not support Bob's contention.
On a yearly average President Obama has used fewer executive orders than the 18 presidents who preceded him and the one who has succeeded him. This goes back to President Teddy Roosevelt, a span of 110 years. Bob, even President Reagan issued more executive orders than President Obama. Both served eight years.
Now we come to our present president. With the control of the House and Senate by his party, he has not passed a major piece of legislation. Our present president in six months has issued 42 executive orders. He is on pace to issue more orders in three and a half years than either Reagan or Obama issued in their eight.
Who is the imperial president, Reagan, Obama or Trump? As the old adage goes, If you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth. Some will say that President Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises; the same can be said for presidents Reagan and Obama.
I would urge people to read Trump's executive orders and not be conned by the rhetoric that proceeds them. Despite the rhetoric, American pipelines will be built with foreign pipe, the U.S. government will not be able to negotiate drug prices, neither Mexico nor Congress will pay for a wall, there will be no reduction in funds to certain cities and the list keeps growing.
Mr. Klaus tries to use the Declaration Of Independence to justify his unwillingness to help pay for the Affordable Care Act and the expansion of Medicare. Bob argues that the Declaration states that the Creator has given him the right to pursue happiness and forcing him to help pay for the ACA makes him unhappy and therefore he as a taxpayer does not have to pay. That's quite a stretch.
The Declaration makes no laws. It leaves it to the people to establish a new government and create new laws. The Constitution, the law of the land, written by men makes no mention of God or the Creator. The Constitution provides for the taking of property with due process. The ACA met this criteria when the Supreme Court declared it constitutional. Chief Justice Roberts, hardly a liberal, cast the majority vote. The XVI amendment provides for your income to be taxed and Article 1 allows Congress to decide how to spend your tax dollars.
Bob, legally, your Creator argument hasn't a leg to stand on.
Bob be careful, you may want more religion in government but what you may get is more government in religion.
Mr. Klaus feels I have no standing to comment on the performance of our present president. He calls my comments "complaints." I call them observations. I stand 100 percent behind my comments in the July 13th letter to the editor. All that I wrote can be documented and are the truths.
Bob, you have no argument against the truth and that's why you choose to remain silent.
In the second half of his letter Mr. Klaus assails Mrs. Bynum for not reading the Constitution. He points out that impeachment is initiated in the House and not the Senate. Mrs. Bynum never asked Senator McConnell to initiate impeachment, she asked him to promote it. Mr. Klaus questions the number of people the GAO says will lose their health care if the ACA is repealed. He says it is 14 million. The GAO just released its report estimating 22 million more people will lose their health care bringing the total to 30 million. Oh well, a couple of million here and a couple of million there and soon we will talking about real people.
When Mrs. Bynum points out the president's unfitness for office, Mr. Klaus suggest that he is a very successful businessman. The businessman has bankrupt four times, has stiffed his vendors and only he and his accountant know how many foreign interests he owes money. The president has no experience to run a government and runs the government like he is the sole proprietor. The president thinks the attorney general is his personal lawyer whose job it is to defend the president and not the Constitution. Mr. Klaus feels that the president showed no deference to the Saudi king.
The president did worse, he got in bed with the king. The Saudi government is the biggest backer of terror in the world. It is the largest monetary supporter of ISIS. The Saudi government exports Sharia law and the extreme form of Sunni-Wahhabi religion.
Mr. Klaus concludes with his "Get Over It" speech. I accept President Trump as our president. I cannot accept his policies. To tell me and others to "Get Over It" and be quiet is exactly what this president wants. No questions, do what I say, be loyal. I am loyal. I am the loyal opposition.

You're always so resourceful. Will keep this in mind but wish it was closer to my office in the CBD.

hi yaya, i had a tip off from a work colleague that he spotted it being there. i'll be looking forward to checking it out this week. might even go a couple of times to try a few things. i'd be keen to try their laksa, har mee, chicken rice and char kway teow to compare to their other shops and Malay-Chinese.
hi bean sprout's cafe, i look forward to your reviews if you try them out. hopefully it'll be easier to get a seat compared to Malay-Chinese although i think they're just as popular now.
hi foodwink, good be worth the trip. will keep you posted of what i try hopefully this week. perhaps the Pavilion shop is closer to you? :-)

this is an insult to malaysian food. i had laksa here for the first time today. it was bland, tasteless and who puts carrot strips and broccoli into laksa??? this is seriously bastardised so-malaysian cuisine
- October 7, 2010 at 9:12 PM
- Simon Food Favourites said...
hi anonymous, the only time i've seen carrot and broccoli in a laksa is for the vegetarian version but i know what you mean, and this would only be a westernised version in Sydney. where do you recommend for some decent malaysian in Sydney. it's hard to find the authentic dishes if at all perhaps :-)
- October 7, 2010 at 10:54 PM
this is not the flagship store. The original owner of Lee's Malaysian (Lee owns and manages the one in Pavilion Food Court) sold it to these people who still use the logo and name. The restaurant is owned by completely different people. Please do not associate this restaurant with the original, the one and only Lee's Malaysian Take Away.
- October 11, 2010 at 12:02 AM
- Simon Food Favourites said...
hi anonymous, thanks for the info. that's very clever marketing by the new owners to keep the name but the original owner should perhaps think about if this is a good idea because it looks like it's the same company. I'll have to visit the Pavilion Food Court again to compare. :-)
- October 11, 2010 at 12:10 AM
- Andrew said...
I just had a laksa here. Agree with the post above. Completely tasteless, just chilli and oil. It's not very often you go to an Asian restaurant and complain that the food isn't salty enough...
- March 3, 2011 at 2:06 PM
- Simon Food Favourites said...
hi andrew, i wouldn't say it's tasteless but there are more robust flavoured laksas around. i guess each to their own. some people would love them and some will find them not to their liking. it's always the case to what one is used to :-)
- March 6, 2011 at 6:24 PM
Has become the McDonald's of Malaysian food. Consistent but not all that tasty or special. To boot, there is much better value elsewhere.
- April 26, 2012 at 12:41 PM
definitely not "Lee's Malaysian"
an insult to the original

Some great scores went down during the swap. I got a bunch of stuff, but the two best things I got are pretty neat. The first is a crazy narrow Gatto springer. I've only seen one other Gatto springer, which was owned by Warren Jr., he was selling it at Davenport this past summer. Warren's was really, really narrow. Unbelieveably, this springer is even skinnier. I don't think even a 2.75" tire will fit:
You can see that there are reliefs cut out of the lower part of the front legs. I assume this was so a tire could fit in there (the rear legs are slightly wider). It is 18" or so over stock length. I will probably end up using this springer as a template to make my own springers, but maybe an inch wider than this one.
The other awesome score was this wild molded Wassell tank. Someone spent a ton of time and/or money on this tank:
What a crazy tank, probably a little too over the top to run on something, but who knows. I've pondered using it on my '37 UL project and making it a nutty 60's-style showbike, but it will probably be a wallhanger.
All in all, it was another good Donnie Smith show, and I'll be back next year.

Mount Hibok-Hibok (also known as Catarman Volcano[3][4]) is a stratovolcano on Camiguin Island in the Philippines.[1] It is one of the active volcanoes in the country and part of the Pacific ring of fire.
Volcanologists classify Hibok-Hibok or Catarman Volcano as a stratovolcano[1] and dome complex[5] with an elevation of 1,332 metres (4,370 ft) and a base diameter of 10 kilometres (6.2 mi).
It has six hot springs (Ardent Spring, Tangob, Bugong, Tagdo, Naasag and Kiyab), three craters (Kanangkaan Crater, site of the 1948 eruption; Itum Crater, site of 1949 eruption, and Ilihan Crater, site of 1950 eruption).
Its adjacent volcanic edifices are Mount Vulcan, 580 metres (1,900 ft) high, NW of Hibok-Hibok; Mount Mambajao, 1,552 metres (5,092 ft) center of Camiguin; Mount Guinsiliban 581 metres (1,906 ft) high, southernmost Camiguin; Mount Butay 679 metres (2,228 ft); and Mount Uhay, N of Mount Guinsiliban. There are also domes and cones at Campana Hill, Minokol Hill, Tres Marias Hill, Mount Carling, Mount Tibane, and Piyakong Hill.
Mount Timpoong and Hibok-Hibok form the two major landmarks within the Timpoong and Hibok-Hibok Natural Monument.
Hibok-Hibok has erupted five times in modern history.
The first recorded eruption occurred in 1827 and a similar activity followed in 1862.[5]
1871 to 1875[edit]
On February 16, 1871, earthquakes and subterranean rumblings began to be felt on the island, which increased in severity until April 30 when a volcanic fissure opened up 400 yards southwest of the village of Catarman, on the northwest flank of Hibok-hibok Volcano. From the opening, lava was continuously ejected and poured into the sea for four years, destroying the town. At the same time, the vent built a cone now known as Mt. Vulcan. In 1875, the Challenger expedition visited the area, and described the mountain as a dome, about 1,950 feet (590 m) in height, without any crater, but still smoking and incandescent at the top.[4]
The portion of the town containing a cemetery has subsided into the sea and is now marked with a huge white cross off the coast. The settlement was relocated to where the present Catarman town center is now located. The remains of old Catarman, including the ruins of the ancient Spanish church, convent and a bell tower, are now called Gui-ob.
1897 to 1902[edit]
In 1897, Hibok-Hibok emitted white sulfurous vapors which damaged farms on the island. Solfataric activity continued up to 1902.
1948 to 1951[edit]
From 1948 to 1951, Mt. Hibok-Hibok constantly rumbled and smoked. There were also landslides and earthquakes followed by dome building and nuee ardente. The Peléan eruption in 1948 from the Kanangkaan crater caused little damage and loss of life. The eruption of 1949, originating from Itum crater caused 79 deaths due to landslides. In the morning of December 4, 1951, the volcano erupted again. This, time, however, it unleashed boiling lava, poisonous gases, and landslides enough to destroy nearly 19 square kilometres (7.3 sq mi) of land particularly in Mambajao. All in all, over 3,000 people were killed. Before the eruption of Mt. Hibok-Hibok in 1951, the population of Camiguin had reached 69,000. After the eruption, the population was reduced to about 34,000 due to massive emigration.
Volcanologists observed an eruption pattern observed during the 1948-1952 eruptions (a cycle of four phases) beginning with a short period of emission of steam from the crater and avalanches of volcanic materials, followed by explosions or steam blast with emission of heavy clouds of steam, ash and other fragmentary volcanic materials with a strong possibility of the development of pyroclastic flows. The third phase involves eruption of incandescent materials, emission of ash and steam in large amounts, formation of flows and occasional minor crater outbursts, and finally a decrease in steam and other ejecta from the crater.
Hiking activity[edit]
Mt. Hibok-Hibok is a popular hiking destination in Camiguin island. A permit from the DENR office in Mambajao is required. It normally takes 3–5 hours to reach the summit; the usual jump-off is Ardent Hot Springs in Mambajao. Views from the summit include the nearby White Island, Bohol to the north, Eastern Mindanao to the east and the island of Siquijor to the west. The mossy crater of Camiguin's past eruption can also be seen.[6]
Mt. Vulcan can be hiked by way of the Stations of the Cross or The Walkway in Bonbon, Catarman. On the trail are the statues depicting the Roman Catholic Stations of the Cross, which are 14 events in the crucifixion of Jesus, at intervals on the climb. They are a memorial to the dead from the last eruption in the 1950s.[7] Mt. Vulcan, which is locally called the Old Volcano, is a misnomer as it is actually the youngest volcano on the island, formed in the 1871 eruption.

It's finally out!
This took me about a month to make, and it's my first ever game that I've made, ever.
The code is incredibly messy and there are a lot of things that could be done several times more efficiently, and there are a few features that I wanted to add but didn't, but I am just happy that this is finally done.
More comments about the game can be found here, on the itch.io page.
Let me know what you think. And thank you for playing! And let me know scores you get too.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lt. M. Kearney
Sobriety Enforcement Results
The Escondido Police Department Traffic Unit conducted a DUI/Driver's License checkpoint on June 9, 2018, at Centre City Parkway and Decatur. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for officers and the public.
High Visibility Enforcements, which include DUI/Driver's License checkpoints, have been shown to lower DUI deaths and injuries. A major component of these checkpoints are the deterrent effects it has on those who might drive alcohol or drug impaired, bringing about more awareness and encouraging everyone to use sober designated drivers.
Drivers whose only offense was being unlicensed to drive were given the opportunity to locate the registered owner of the vehicle to either take or assign possession of the vehicle to a licensed driver. 9 vehicles were released to the owner or a designated driver. During the checkpoint, 8 vehicles were impounded
Following are additional results from this event:
Drivers are encouraged to download the Designated Driver VIP, or "DDVIP," free mobile app for Android or iPhone. The DDVIP app helps find nearby bars and restaurants that feature free incentives for the designated sober driver, from free non-alcoholic drinks to free appetizers and more. The feature-packed app even has social media tie-ins and even a tab for the non-DD to call Uber, Lyft or Curb.
Studies of California drivers have shown that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems. A study of active drivers showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent). Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at 7.4 percent, slightly more than alcohol.
Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension and other expenses that can exceed $10,000 not to mention the embarrassment when friends and family find out.
The Escondido Police Department will be conducting additional DUI/Driver's License Checkpoints on an ongoing basis. The department is committed to lowering deaths and injuries upon our streets and highways.
The checkpoint was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reminding everyone to 'Report Drunk Driver –
Call 9-1-1'.

The Missing by Sarah Langan
Planning on spending your summer vacation in the woods of Maine? If so, I recommend NOT reading this book. If you are going to Maine and want to get completely creeped out while on vacation, then by all means, go ahead and read it. Just don't be blaming me for your nightmares!
Through a bunch of odd circumstances a virus is unleashed on the small Maine town of Corpus Christi. It's bad. Very bad. I liked that this wasn't a mindless zombie infection sort of thing. These infected were scary because they could think and know things they shouldn't know. The book doesn't go where you think it is going, the author does some new things with the disease/virus horror plot that I haven't seen too often, and it did give me the chills. This is a bleak, dark, gory story that I'm guessing only horror fans will enjoy.

Pittsburgh and West Virginia will renew their infamous "Backyard Brawl" football rivalry for at least four games starting in 2022.
Pittsburgh and West Virginia will renew their infamous "Backyard Brawl" football rivalry for at least four games starting in 2022, West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons announced on Thursday.
In a university press release, Lyons acknowledged Pittsburgh athletic director Scott Barnes for his help in revitalizing the series, which will run through 2025. The first matchup in the series will take place at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.
"Scheduling this game was a priority, and I want to thank Pitt Athletic Director Scott Barnes for his commitment to this series, which I believe is great for both schools," Lyons said.
Pittsburgh holds a 61-40-3 advantage over West Virginia in the series, however, the Mountaineers have had the upper hand in recent years, winning seven of the last 10 games.
The teams last met in 2011 when both were members of the Big East conference as the Mountaineers came out on top, 21–20. West Virginia is now a member of the Big 12, while Pittsburgh in the ACC.
The Backyard Brawl is one of the oldest rivalries in all of college football, with the inaugural game being played in 1895.

Dissertation: Literature Review Section
Writing a literature review for a dissertation is one of the main ways to demonstrate that you have made a strong research for your dissertation and have a strong academic background in your field. As a writer, you are expected to write a literature review for dissertation, because you cannot conduct a professional research without understanding the published material in the area of study.
What is a dissertation literature review? Example
A good sample literature review for dissertation is a analytical overview of the literature on your topic. Pay attention to your future reader. In case if your audience knows less than you know on the topic, you become an instructor. If they know more than you do, you should perform understanding, expertise, familiarity and intelligence.
A literature review investigates books, articles, dissertations, conference texts and other relevant sources. Literature review provides a background and a context for a paper by demonstrating the results of previous research. It is very essential to become familiar with previous achievements relevant to specific theory, issue, or area of research to move forward, suggest new ideas and fill in the gaps.
Demonstrating your knowledge about your field of study means that you also have to prove that you understand theories, vocabulary, key phenomena and variables, as well as history and methods. Moreover, creating a literature review also informs the author about the most important and influential research groups and researchers in the area. In a word, a little bit modified literature review could be a publishable and scholarly document.
The purposes of writing a literature review are:
- Indentifying gaps in the previous research;
- Helping to avoid the topics and questions that do not require any research;
- Setting the background on the areas that has been already explored;
- Helping to identify similar works in the subject area;
- Allowing to set the intellectual context with previous related research;
- Providing a writer with the opposite points of view;
- Helping to define effective methods applicable to your project.
How to write a literature review for a dissertation
Take a look at the list below. It is your step-by-step guide on how to write a dissertation literature review.
- Problem stating.
What supporting arguments should be included? Construct evidence that distinguishes relevant studies and excludes irrelevant ones.
- Data gathering.
How are you going to find relevant argumentation? Determine which materials are potentially worth of examining.
- Data evaluation.
What discovered arguments should be included in the literature review? Explain criteria to define valid and invalid sources.
- Data analysis and interpretation.
How can you draw conclusions about the gathered literature as a whole? Synthesize retrieved studies.
- Public presentation.
What data should be included in the literature review report? Edit your review to separate important material from unimportant.
One of the main things to understand about writing a literature review is that it is familiar to the process of performing primary research on your topic. In fact, a literature review (secondary research) is a modified primary research. The key components here are the following:
- A rationale;
- Hypothesis and questions;
- Plan for gathering data, including explanation how and why the material will be chosen;
- Plan for detailed data analysis;
- Plan for interpreting and presenting the information.
Conducting a literature review, you cannot just read all the sources, take some brief notes, and put them into a literature review. Instead, you should develop a narrative summary of each document including basic ideas and facts that should be taken into account.

By Taxi
Taxis are plentiful in Chisinau, but can sometimes be difficult to find. Some taxis will stop if hailed from the curbside, but many will not. Alternatively, look for taxis parked near busy street corners or areas with shops or restaurants. Since there is no standard taxi color, it can sometimes be difficult to identify a taxi; so look for taxis clearly marked as such and bearing their company's telephone number - a five digit number beginning in 14 (some independent operators' cars will be marked only by a "taxi" sign on the top of their vehicle). Most hotels, restaurants, or cafes will call you a taxi if asked.
You can also call a taxi yourself, but not all operators speak English. When you call for a taxi, you will need to say where you are and where you wish to go, and leave a phone number. They will call you back usually within about 2 minutes to let you know which car is coming and how long it will take for it to get there. A taxi usually arrives within 5-8 minutes.
Moldovan taxis may or may not have fare meters which may or may not function. Fares within Chisinau range from 25-40 lei depending upon distance travelled, regardless of the number of passengers. Fares for journeys within the city center should cost 25 lei. Fares from the city center to the airport will cost a bit more, typically 100-150 lei, especially if originating from a hotel.
By trolley bus & Bus
By trolley bus & bus: Within Chisinau, trolley buses, which run on overhead electric lines, and buses are convenient and inexpensive means of getting around. Established routes crisscross the city on most major streets. Passengers must board and disembark at marked stops. Buses stop at all stops, running regularly at 5-10 minute intervals until from early morning until late at night. Route maps for trolley buses (Тролеибусы) and buses (Автобусы) are available here. The trolley bus fare is 2 lei per ride and the bus fare 3 lei per ride. Pay the fare to the ticket agent on the bus once you board (Don't worry, they will find you if you can't find them). Exact change is recommended but not required.
For journeys outside of Chişinău, there are regular buses connecting the capital city with towns and villages throughout Moldova. All arrivals and departures occur at one of three stations. A list of all stations (in Romanian) can be found here.

Visitors wishing to travel by bus are advised to search the online bus schedules (in Romanian), organized according to station, to find buses to their desired destinations. All ticket purchases must be made in person at the station.
By mini-bus
Mini-buses, also known as maxi-taxi or rutiere, are a popular means of transportation within Chisinau. Routes crisscross the city on most major streets. To board, flag down the desired mini-bus from the curbside. Give the 3 lei fare directly to the driver. If change is owned, the driver will give it to you immediately or pass it back, via other passengers, to where you are located. Mini-buses stop on command; give the driver advance warning by calling out a street corner or landmark where you wish to disembark. Mini-buses run regularly at 5-10 minute intervals until from early morning until late at night. Route maps for mini-buses (Маршутные такси) are available here.
By Rental Car
Several rental car agencies serve Moldova. Most have offices at the Chisinau Airport; several also have offices in Chisinau city center. Visitors will need to present a valid passport and driver license to rent a vehicle. Information about available rental car agencies is shown below.

text: Posted May 30, 2012 I think Sedlecs Ossuary would inspire a great area "The Sedlec Ossuary is a small Roman Catholic chapel, located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints in Sedlec, a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. The ossuary contains approximately 40,000-70,000 human skeletons which have been artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel.Henry, the abbot of the Cistercian monastery in Sedlec, was sent to the Holy Land by King Otakar II of Bohemia in 1278. When he returned, he brought with him a small amount of earth he had removed from Golgotha and sprinkled it over the abbey cemetery. The word of this pious act soon spread and the cemetery in Sedlec became a desirable burial site throughout Central Europe. During the Black Death in the mid 14th century, and after the Hussite Wars in the early 15th century, many thousands of people were buried there and the cemetery had to be greatly enlarged. Around 1400 a Gothic church was built in the center of the cemetery with a vaulted upper level and a lower chapel to be used as an ossuary for the mass graves unearthed during construction, or simply slated for abolition to make room for new burials. After 1511 the task of exhuming skeletons and stacking their bones in the chapel was, according to legend, given to a half-blind monk of the order. Between 1703 and 1710 a new entrance was constructed to support the front wall, which was leaning outward, and the upper chapel was rebuilt. This work, in the Czech Baroque style, was designed by Jan Santini Aichel. In 1870, František Rint, a woodcarver, was employed by the Schwarzenberg family to put the bone heaps into order. The macabre result of his effort speaks for itself. Four enormous bell-shaped mounds occupy the corners of the chapel. An enormous chandelier of bones, which contains at least one of every bone in the human body, hangs from the center of the nave with garlands of skulls draping the vaults. Other works include piers and monstrances flanking the altar, a large Schwarzenberg coat-of-arms, and the signature of Master Rint, also executed in bone, on the wall near the entrance."

Last night and today I worked some more on this lotus asian quilt I mentioned here.
I ironed on the little curve like a drunkard's path, I had decided to do that instead of making it a template and pinning and sewing a curve, it's only 2" so.... better this way
But PHEW that was 48 of EACH color.
(I guess it's NOTHING compared to Bonnie Hunter's ORCA mystery quilt! ha ha)
Last night I also button hole stitched all the way around on all of them in different threads.
Today I finished all the blocks and border blocks and currently I'm piecing the main part together.
I'm getting ideas for more applique, we'll see.....
here's a close up of the blocks, sure was bulky to iron right where the applique and the center block meet... hmm.
If you know me, you know I can't say no to a swap, it's a geese in a ring block swap.
I've been playing (as you know) with different paper piecing methods.
here's another way, where I just used the plain print out and pinned to the paper and otherwise folded or creased the paper and sewed next to it. I don't really like this method, I think I will stick with the freezer paper method, unless.... aren't there some freezer paper type packs that you can put thru the printer?? anyone know?
Well.... if I don't post tomorrow, have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
I will be MIA next week, more about that later.

Aviation History
442 AIR TRANSPORT.. lation costs will be split between Boeing and General Electric; $60 million (£25 million) will go to the airlines, while another $22 million (£9 • 2 million) of airline delivery- position deposits will be lost. The total cost to be borne during the 1971 financial year, including $156 million (£65 million) spent between December and the final Senate decision, could thus approach $250 million (£104 million). The DoT considers itself morally, though not contractually, bound to refund $59 million (£25 milion) research money contributed by the airlines, while contract termination costs paid to the manufacturers will total $2 million, with a $10 million contingency. Boeing has invested $125 million (£52 million) in the programme, with $25 million (£10-4 million) in plant. General Electric has similarly spent $20 million (£8-4 million) on plant. Milestones in the life of the SSX January 1958 Permanent Boeing SST programme estab lished after several years' preliminary studies and investigation. June 1963 President Kennedy advocates United States SST programme. August 1963 First SST request for proposal issued by the Federal Aviation Agency. January 1964 First Boeing proposal submitted in SST com petition. Other competitors: Lockheed and North American Aviation for the airframe; General Electric, Pratt & Whitney and Curtiss-Wright for the engine. May 1964 Results of first competition announced: North American and Curtiss-Wright partici pation discontinued; design activities of remaining competitors directed towards larger versions and lower seat-mile costs. June 1964 Second phase of US SST competition begins. This marked first Government-financed par ticipation on a fund-sharing basis with industry. November 1964 SST second-phase proposal submitted to the FAA. January 1965 Programme continued on a month-to-month basis. July 1965 President Johnson announces further 18- month competitive funds. June 1966 Boeing announces new, 300-passenger SST design featuring variable-sweep wing with an integrated horizontal tail. September 1966 Boeing submits phase three SST proposal to FAA. FLIGHT International, I April 1971 December 1966 Boeing and General Electric win competition with Lockheed and Pratt & Whitney. January 1967 Month-to-month extension of phase two con tract begins. May 1967 FAA signs contract for phase three of SST programme. Boeing to build two SST pro totypes and conduct lOOhr of flight testing. February 1968 Boeing requests extension of prototype design phase for further development of the configuration. October 1968 Fixed-wing SST with conventional tail selected for continued development. January 1969 Boeing completes submittal of design recom mendation to FAA and the airlines on schedule and announces readiness to begin prototype construction immediately upon receiving Government go-ahead. September 1969 President Nixon announces go-ahead subject to Congressional approval of funds which were subsequently granted though reduced. Design changes mean that prototypes will no longer be representative of production air craft. Some sub-contractors pull out because of budgetary uncertainties. Department of Transportation takes over responsibility for the programme from the FAA. Mock-up well advanced. August 1970 First flight of the first of two prototypes set for November 1972, with a production air craft due to take to the air early in 1977. December 1970 Senate blocks funds but compromises to allow project to continue until new Congress can debate the SST in March. March 24,1971 Senate halts the SST by refusing the $134 million requested for the last three months of the 1971 financial year. These companies held the delivery options shown: Trans World Airlines, 12; Pan American, 15; Alitalia, 6; American Airlines, 6; El Al, 2; BOAC, 6; Northwest, 6; Japan Air Lines, 5; Qantas, 6; Air France, 6; Air India, 2; Braniff, 2; Delta, 3; Trans-American, 2; CP Air, 3; Aer Lingus-Irish, 2; Luft hansa, 3; Iberia, 3; KLM, 6; PIA, 2; Eastern, 5; World Airways, 3; United Air Lines, 6; Continental Airlines, 3; Air Canada, 6; Airlift International, 1.

text: The Governor called the legislature into special session last Thursday. His call included six bills. Four were to address the rising health insurance costs of the school employees.The proposals would address both a short term and long term solution. The short term calls for using $43 million from the state surplus to avert a 50% rise in health insurance rates set to go into effect Jan. 1. SB4 would allow savings from general facilities funding and supplemental millage incentive funding to be used for the insurance plan in the future. It would shift about $16.3 million to the plan . SB5 would cut professional development funding for school districts from $54 per student to $32.40, which would save about $10 million to go to the fund in the future. The state Board is expected then to reduce the number of hours required for teacher professional development from 60 hours to 36 hours a year. To get approval of this it was agreed by SB6, that there would be a task force to study long term structural reforms of the program and it would be a proactive task force that would be looking for reforms and would report and make recommendations by June 2014. Legislators also approved measures to outs the seven members of the board that oversee the plans. The bills passed in the quick three day session. One bill would phase out the excess property tax revenue some school districts have kept and redirect those funds to the state. This bill did not make it out. The sixth bill, HB1002, would repeal act 954 of 2013 which eased regulatory requirements on municipalities and industries that discharge mineral into Arkansas waterways. This bill was added because the federal Environmental Protection Agency had complained and said it would begin reviewing all water permits. This bill was approved. To view information on the session, look at bills or search for an act, or see when committees meet, you can go to the legislative web site.www.arkleg.state.ar.us. This site gives you contact information on any of the legislators too. The state Supreme Court overturned a ruling by a Pulaski County Judge that will allow a challenge of the state school funding formula, the suit was filed by a small and isolated school district in the Ozark Mountains. The Deer/Mount Judea School District filed a suit in 2010 contending that the state did not provide enough funding to adequately educate students in geographically isolated districts. The Pulaski County judge ruled that the issues of the case had already been litigated. But it was overturned by the Supreme Court saying it did present new issues. After years of litigation the state was released from the Lake View case, but only after raising taxes and allocating hundreds of millions of new revenue to the public schools. There is concern that this lawsuit could open this up again. If you would like to contact me, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call my office at 650-1884 or write me at P.O. Box 2387 Greenwood AR> 72936. Have a good week.

Wholesale VoIP
Wholesale transit traffic exchange is a base of whole VoIP industry. VoIP traffic transit service is supplied by transit telecom operators in a chain-like manner, until the actual call reaches VoIP termination provider and is successfully terminated to local PSTN network.
Wholesale VoIP termination is broadly similar to any other VoIP termination, except in terms of scale. Other features of wholesale VoIP include authentication by IP address of by prefix code. VoIP service provider has a freedom to manipulate the caller ID.
Terminating and billing large numbers of calls from a customer who has M2 Softswitch or similar Class 4 switch.
The only difference between above types of service is that M2 is concerned in terms of volume. Configuration is broadly similar for each service.
M2 Softswitch supports SIP protocol as well as a range of VoIP codec protocols, such as g711 which is a high quality uncompressed codec. Where bandwidth is limited, supplied GSM codec can be used or commercial g729 licenses or g729 voice compression cards for high capacity systems are available.
Customer's end-point is configured to pass its VoIP traffic through M2 Softswitch, where call is then least cost routed via the lowest cost carrier, call is rated, and customers available balance decremented.

About Debra L. Rothenberg
Debra L. Rothenberg's first book, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN IN FOCUS PHOTOGRAPHS 1980-2012 hit books stores on October 1, 2013 and has remained in the top 10 on Amazon's best seller list since its release. The Wall Street Journal said it was one of "the best photo books for fall" and The NY Daily News called it "amazing."

An accomplished professional with a broad photographic range, Debra L Rothenberg has worked as a concert photographer for the NY Daily News since 1999.

Her photography has been exhibited in galleries worldwide and her images have been published in top magazines including Rolling Stone, Q, Time, Newsweek and US Weekly. Her photos reside on a wall at the legendary Stone Pony.
John Cavanaugh has been taking serious concert photographs for more than 20 years. He concentrates on the Jersey Shore area but has captured moments in New York City, Philly, Cleveland, and parts of Europe as well.
His photos have been published in a number of tri-state area newspapers, Rolling Stone and Backstreets magazines, as well as other respected national and European publications. His photos are complementary and their availability to the public has been encouraged by the subject artists.
John Posada is a local photographer specializing in music and performance photography, photographing about 200 bands and musicians each year in the NY/NJ area, but predominately on the Jersey Shore. His photographs have been used by over 50 local musicians and bands for their CDs as well as for hundreds of musician promo posters, newspaper articles, music reviews, and web sites.
Kristen Driscoll is an award-winning photographer who specializes in weddings, portraiture and capturing the energy of live music. In 2013, she was voted the Best Photographer in Monmouth County, NJ by the Asbury Park Press Reader's Choice Awards, and in 2012, she was nominated for an Asbury Music Award for Top Journalist in Support of Live Music. Kristen's photos capture the emotion in decisive moments of live performance, visually freezing the music in her images. Her professional photography career began in 2009, when she photographed local bands at The Saint and the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. Musicians continue to be her favorite subjects.
Brooklyn- based photographer Kyra Kverno is from the Bay Area in California. In the late 90's she ventured out to the east coast to pursue photography, stopping in Long Branch, New Jersey for the first couple of years before planting herself in New York City. It was there that she first became involved with the Light of Day Foundation. Kyra's work has been featured in publications such as CNN, Thrasher, Paste, MOJO, Elmore, and many more. She continues to travel the country photographing music related events ranging from large- scale festivals to accompanying artists on tour.
In 1975 Mark began shooting rock concerts and by '77 he was sneaking his camera into Madison Square Garden to photograph legendary bands such as Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Queen and Peter Frampton. He developed the prints at home to sell the next morning out of his high school locker, and then back in front of the venue that night. In 1977 KISS came to NYC for three days and Mark was arrested for selling his photos outside of the Garden. After a night in jail, his peddling days were over.
The next day, Weiss took his portfolio to Circus magazine, the leading rock publication at the time. His first published work was a centerfold of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler in October 1978, and soon after he was shooting the magazine's covers and features as staff photographer. In 1978 Mark's first assignment was to shoot Springsteen at the Spectrum in Philadelphia to accompany a live review of the DARKNESS tour.
Mark toured with rock veterans Van Halen, Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe, Guns 'n Roses, Ozzy and Bon Jovi, shooting countless album covers including Bon Jovi's SLIPPERY WHEN WET and Twisted Sister's STAY HUNGRY.
Some 35 years later, Mark is still working with the same bands whose photos he peddled on the streets of NYC. In September, Mark was honored to unveil his own memorabilia case at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The display pays homage to him as an up-and-coming rock photographer–while still a teenager, featuring a mannequin outfitted in his original 70s garb and first camera standing amongst his collection of original darkroom equipment and photographs from those early years.
Weissguy's photographs of the 80s are displayed exclusively throughout Broadway's Helen Hayes Theatre and the Venetian in Las Vegas for the hit musical "ROCK OF AGES." Also in Vegas is Mark's latest project–Vince Neal's EAT-DRINK-PARTY! The Mötley Crüe frontman's new restaurant and bar utilized Mark's vision and iconic photographs to recreate the vibe of Hollywood's Sunset Strip in the 80s.
Mike Black is a science teacher who considers photography a 'labor of love'.
Mike is a Getty Images Contributing Photographer.
Mike's photos have been published in The New York Times, Rolling Stone Magazine, and shown on every TV network. Mike's time lapse of the Christmas 2012 Blizzard went viral on Vimeo, with 3.6 million views, and was shown on every major American network, as well as BBC TV News.
Musicians and bands like Willie Nile, Last Perfect Thing, Divine Sign and others have used Mike's photos for album art.
Mike's current interest is Nature Photography, specializing in astrophotography, birding, NASA, and photography for Getty Images.

she was so beautiful. an improbable combination of etherial & earthy.ReplyDelete
A wonderful review Rupert! MGM was very nervous about this movie coming on the heels of the Paul Bern tragedy-it was a Harlow triumph all the way-what a trouper she was considering her private life was a circus for part of the filmingReplyDelete
It is hard to believe Jean was only 21 when this came out because she exudes more sexuality on the screen than most actress now...and they show everything.ReplyDelete
Isn't it rather ironic that Mary played such good girl (or trying to be good girl) parts when her personal life was quite different!
Rupert, a great post on a film I didn't see until recently and enjoyed immensely. The 1953 remake ("Mogambo," directed by John Ford and also starring Gable) looks pretty pallid next to this. Harlow was so saucy, and the sexual banter between her and Gable went beyond innuendo. I like Astor too and was pleased at how good she was in this role, subtly conveying a lot of sexual confusion that Grace Kelly's shrill performance in the remake didn't. I was especially impressed by her scenes with Harlow after they come to a sort of truce. And you're sure right about Gable being so convincing as a self-confident macho man. Still, it's Harlow--whose earthy, ininhibited sexuality made her perfect for the part--who makes this film.ReplyDelete
Just after reading your post last night I had to watch "Red Dust". I had not seen it in quite a while and it's always a pleasure to watch.ReplyDelete
I'm another fan of this film - I've seen in many times. So many times, in fact, that it's not much fun watching it with me - I love to recite the one-liners along with Clark and Jean!ReplyDelete
I agree with Mr. Finch above - the remake is a limp and lame pale imitation of the original. It's hard to believe somebody could out-sex Ava, but Jean does it in spades!
ah fantastic review. Red Dust is a favorite of mine. Love gable and harlow. I am going to get my copy out and watch it right now. Superb movie. I adore harlow in red headed woman also. sex appeal big time.ReplyDelete
It's interesting that many make such a big deal over Harlow in this film. I thought that the scenes between Gable and Astor were very sexy.ReplyDelete
After hastily listing off Harlow's 1931 work -and how they were mostly humorless 'moll' roles- Mick LaSalle, in his "Complicated Women," comes to exactly why, with the two "Red" movies, 1932 was Harlow's miracle year:ReplyDelete
"With Garbo, sex was a sacrament. With Shearer, sex was emancipation. With Crawford, sex was a commodity. With Harlow, sex was just sex, and that's refreshing...
...She was learning her craft. She was also, though no one knew it, suffering from miscasting. Harlow was not about the dark side of sex. She was a happy pagan with a face unmarred by any jadedness or dissipation."
It's from this point on, in the films that allow Harlow both a brazen adventurousness and a grounded, warm humanity that she shines the most. And her health would give out long before any perceived dimming of her star.
Harlow was the first 1930s female MGM star I became fascinated with, back in my 20s, and of course, she began my soon-ravenous appetite for all the rest: Garbo, Shearer, Crawford, Dressler, Davies, MacDonald, Loy, Hayes.... While I often chime in with that group that says 'stars were bigger then,' it doesn't hurt to remember that they didn't have the competition of television also.

split cane
I've been building a splitcane fishing rod or rather restoring an old rod I bought from Ebay (the handle is made from recycled cork salvaged from some rather enjoyable bottles of wine I have consumed over the last twelve months) it's been an interesting little project. These days there is a clamour for new, lighter materials - carbon fibre IM6 etc, but there is something magical about six pieces of bamboo, flamed, split and shaped into triangular sections that are glued and bound so they are heaxagonal in section. I find the material fantastic to use and look at. We are constantly striving to make better materials with improved properties, which I'm in favour of, but there is something about many man made materials and I can't explain why, but they lack warmth.

Gotta Drank! SmithHouse
Located across from the Century City Mall and a stone's throw away from the Nakatomi Plaza aka Fox Studios is SmithHouse, a vast, wood trimmed bar and restaurant. They even have their own valet service that charges a pretty reasonable $3 since street parking can be hard to come by or if you're not walking over from Fox in your office uniform of blue button up shirt tucked into dark slacks. Their draft list is immense and includes Strongbow so I can partake in drinking from a pint glass. Happy Hour is pretty solid with $1 off drafts, $5 well drinks and $5-6 appetizers. It had been a while since I visited the joint and it was pretty empty on a Monday night. Can't remember if they had barbeque on the menu then but they sure as shit have it now! Scarfed down a brisket sandwich while wishing one of my two Californian hetero life mates off on a European Vacation.
I hear cars in France run better on bread:

LOS ANGELES (May 14, 2013) — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to announce its attendance at the upcoming FOSI European Forum 2013.
Scheduled for May 15 at Google's EMEA Headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) will use this year's annual European Forum to explore the "Year of the Digital Citizen: Online Safety, Data Protection and Privacy," bringing together a wide range of government, industry, law enforcement, and civil society stakeholders in order to discuss these critical issues and to exchange ideas, opinions, strategies and priorities.
The event features presentations by Facebook's Richard Allan and Google's Sue Duke, plus a keynote address by U.K. MP Claire Perry, and input from business leaders such as Amazon, Microsoft and others. Scheduled sessions include expert panels on Safety and Citizenship, Data Protection and Privacy.
ASACP's Director of European Outreach, Vince Charlton, will attend on behalf of ASACP, providing an opportunity for the association to educate stakeholders about its mission to keep children out of and away from adult entertainment. Charlton is convinced that involvement in forums such as FOSI is necessary to put across the voice of the adult industry.
"The adult industry more than ever needs to have its voice heard in official circles," Charlton explains. "The aim in attending FOSI is for ASACP to increase its networking with other stakeholders, further promoting the concept of the RTA label and the ASACP foundation and to put forward the argument for internal self-regulation as opposed to external governmental controls which could seriously affect the industry moving forward."
FOSI brings together a wide range of stakeholders, from government, industry and law enforcement, so it is vital that the adult industry has a presence there to counter the growing move by EU governments towards an "opt-in" policy, which is rapidly gaining momentum.
"As external pressure mounts on the industry, we need to be inside the corridors of power to have our opinions heard, so putting our heads in the sand and ignoring what is going on outside of the industry is not an option," Charlton added. "Attending FOSI, putting our views across and subsequently keeping the industry informed on current developments is vital as the adult sector moves forward in meeting these external challenges."
ASACP reaches out to the public through its CP Reporting Hotline, collecting and verifying 'Red Flag' reports of suspected online child pornography and then forwarding vetted cases to relevant international law enforcement agencies. The association also reaches out to digital media publishers by encouraging adoption of its Code of Ethics, individual Best Practices, and the Restricted To Adults (RTA) website labeling system that helps prevent unauthorized access to age-inappropriate material.
"ASACP bridges the gap between content consumers and publishers when keeping underage viewers from age-inappropriate material," ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning notes. "We're pleased to have Vince on hand to represent the association to the European audience, as a way of furthering our outreach while working with other organizations towards a shared set of common goals."
For more information, or to schedule a meeting, please contact email@example.com.

In Numbers: Serial Publications by Artists Since 1955

In Numbers: Serial Publications by Artists Since 1955
AboutIn Numbers: Serial Publications by Artists Since 1955 is a survey exhibition of the often-overlooked genre of serial publications produced by artists around the world from 1955 to the present day.
From the rise of the small press in the 1960s, followed by the correspondence art movement, where artists exchanged art by post, to the DIY zine culture in the 1980s and early 1990s, professional artists have always seized on the format of magazines and postcards as a site for a new kind of art production.
In Numbers is the first survey to define a neglected artform that is neither artists' book nor ephemera, but is entirely its own unique object. The publications are by young artists operating at the peripheries of mainstream art cultures and established artists looking for an alternative to the marketplace. The publications are artworks, often idiosyncratic and produced in collaboration, and they do not feature news items, criticism, or reproductions of artworks.
The diversity of the publications is reflected in the backgrounds of the producing artists and in the wide range
of techniques, nationalities and media; the survey does not attempt to be exhaustive, but simply to define the
genre's contours and identify certain thematic threads.
In Numbers is presented with special thanks to Philip Aarons and Shelley Fox Aarons.

Repetitive Behavior in Autism
Repetitive Behavior in Autism – by Lee A. Wilkinson, PhD, CPsychol, NCSP, AFBPsS
Researchers collected parent-report data (Repetitive Behavior Scales-Revised) for 190 high-risk toddlers and 60 low-risk controls from 12 to 24 months of age. Forty-one high-risk children were classified with ASD at age 2. Profiles of repetitive behavior were compared between groups. The study found that the profiles for children diagnosed with ASD differed significantly from high- and low-risk children without the disorder on all measures of repetitive behavior. Toddlers with ASD showed significantly higher rates of repetitive behavior across at the 12-month time point. Repetitive behaviors were significantly associated with adaptive behavior and socialization scores among children with ASD at 24 months of age, but were largely unrelated to measures of general cognitive ability.
These findings suggest that as early as 12 months of age, a broad range of repetitive behaviors are highly elevated in children who go on to develop ASD. While some degree of repetitive behavior is essential to typical early development, the extent of these behaviors among children who develop ASD appears highly atypical. The study supports earlier findings that repetitive behaviors may be among the earliest-emerging signs of autism. It also points to new avenues of inquiry. While the search for early social deficits has received substantial attention from researchers, ritualistic, repetitive behaviors have largely been neglected. This is unfortunate because repetitive behaviors are often easier for a parent to notice than the absence of a social behavior. Parents of individuals with ASD also report that restricted and repetitive behaviors are one of the most challenging features of ASD due to their significant interference with daily life. Likewise, they can impede learning and socialization by decreasing the likelihood of positive interactions with peers and adults. Given the importance of restricted and repetitive behavior as core feature of ASD, clinicians and practitioners should give increased attention to the assessment and presence of this behavior in screening and assessment as an early indicator and consider their impact on the psychological well-being of individuals with ASD.

In the last 8 years, I have not spent longer than a year and a half at the same address. In college, like most students, I vacillated between dormitory life in the fall and spring and my parents' house in the summers. Even when I would return to TCNJ for the fall and spring, I would be in a different building entirely, completely negating any sort of consistency to my seemingly nomadic life.
In veterinary school, I lived in three different locations. That does not even include my time in the summers when I essentially did not live in my apartment but instead in the dormitory at New Bolton Center. Nor does that include time during my third and fourth years during which I spent approximately twelve weeks at different clinics, alternating between hotels, friends' homes, and shared houses with ten other extern-mates/complete strangers.
Even though I thoroughly enjoy traveling and exploring different parts of the world (as I write to you from the San Francisco Airport), I so desperately long for a "home base." I will spend one year at my upcoming internship, living with my three intern-mates. After that, who knows where I will end up? If I am accepted into a residency program, that means three to four years at what I can only hope will be the same location. In a way, it is kind of exciting to not know where I will end up or where my life will take me. The type "A" part of me, however, is silently (not so silently) freaking out.

Everybody needs food. So why isn't B2B food product marketing easier? Your marketing needs to support razor-thin margins, navigate large buying groups quickly, generate leads earlier and anticipate consumer taste changes.
As the food industry consolidates, the pressure to drive costs lower and production higher grows, too. Which means there's similar pressure on marketing. You can be successful with a mindset of continuous improvement and efficiency and a program that allows you to:
Food products buying is a group decision with each member of the group influencing the final decision. To address the needs and triggers of the whole group, your marketing needs to:
Perhaps more than any other B2B category, food products reflect consumer tastes. Companies who anticipate those tastes can gain a significant competitive edge—if they can maximize that knowledge through marketing. To do that, you need to:

If you want to visit the front line of China's environmental struggle, there are lots of places to choose from. You could drop in on Changqing, in northwestern Shaanxi province, where on Aug. 17 hundreds of people stormed a smelting plant blamed for toxic emissions that left more than 850 children with lead poisoning. Or there's Wenping, in central Hunan province, where days later 1,300 children were found to have been sickened by pollution from a manganese factory.
When former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and philanthropic Chinese martial-arts star Jet Li made their own tour of inspection on Aug. 22, they chose a place that wasn't shrouded in toxic vapors or ravaged by illness. It was the bucolic village of Baigong, in southwestern Guizhou provincea community of blue skies, grape trellises, freshly painted houses and colorful sprays of drying peppers hanging from doorways. Where China's industrial wastelands symbolize its present and past, Baigong may be a tiny herald of the future: its streetlights are solar-powered under a program by Li's One Foundation and the nonprofit Climate Group, which Blair helped launch. "If all Chinese cities had these, we could save a lot of power," said Li. "And also provide a lot of employment," chimed in Blair.
In its breakneck quest for economic growth, the world's most populous nation has created no shortage of environmental disastersjust as other countries did when they, too, industrialized. But the Chinese people are growing impatient with the costs of unchecked development. Around the country, citizens are volunteering for cleanup projects. A small, courageous network of NGOs is naming and shaming the worst polluters. The huge number of pollution-related protestsan estimated 50,000 took place in 2005unambiguously demonstrates grass-roots resentment of the ecological burden of industrialization. So did a survey by the Pew Global Attitudes Project about a year ago, which found that some 80% of Chinese felt protecting the environment should be a prioritya stark contrast to the global perception of the Chinese as a people in feckless pursuit of wealth.
The drive toward development cannot be deniedafter the demise of Maoist ideology, growth is the key base of legitimacy for the ruling Communist Party. But it can be harnessed and made compatible with environmental protection. In the words of Shanghai-based environmental lawyer Charles R. McElwee, "the old-fashioned green" of money has become equated with "the new green" of such industries as alternative fuels and energy-efficient materials. That's not as far-fetched as it sounds. In fact, as the Climate Group outlined in an August report, China is already a global leader in environmental technology. It is the world's largest manufacturer of electric bicycles, and may dominate production of electric cars. Chinese factories churn out 30% of the world's solar panelsincluding those used in Baigong villageand the country is doubling its wind-power capacity annually. "This is not an issue of China's good faith," Blair told TIME. "China is doing an immense amount."
He's right. For one thing, the authorities are getting tougher on polluters. On Aug. 14, two factory officials, convicted of chemically tainting a water source for 200,000 residents of China's coastal Jiangsu province, were sentenced to six and 11 years in jail when previously they would have received little more than a fine. (The state-run Xinhua news service noted it was the first time defendants "were jailed on charges of spreading poison.") During his visit, too, Blair met with Premier Wen Jiabao and the chief engineer of the nation's efforts to develop environmentally friendly technology, Vice Premier Li Keqiang. He came away struck by the leadership's willingness to acknowledge the country's pollution woes. The central government has made the environment a key part of its next five-year economic plan, says Blair. "The environment is not a separate chapter," he insists. "It's the core narrative."
It needs to be. China's powerful National Development and Reform Commission and the Development Research Center of the State Council sponsored a recent report suggesting that if it took a number of aggressive measures, China, now the world's largest greenhouse-gas polluter, could hit an emissions peak in 2030 and then begin winding down. But if global warming is to be reversed, more than emissions control will be needed. Just as essential will be the further, rapid development of clean energy. And if the Chinese decide that there's good money to be made in that, you can be absolutely sure that it will happen.
