At the Hormel Foods Corp. plant in Fremont, NE, the primary cause of bearing failure on the production line was corrosion caused by the high volume of water and cleaning solutions. The 600,000-sq.-ft. pork-processing facility produces well-known foods such as SPAM luncheon meat and other Hormel meat products.
Food-processing companies such as Hormel operate under stringent USDA sanitation regulations that demand the highest levels of hygiene and bacteria control. This environment requires constant inspection and cleaning of not only the conveyors and other food contact areas, but also all processing equipment and surrounding walls and floors. Maintaining these standards means cleaning procedures that can wreak havoc with the equipment components, especially critical housed and mounted bearing units. Consequently, maintenance people are constantly inspecting equipment and shutting down operations to replace corroded and stained bearings, a procedure that costs production time and money.
Until recently, Hormel used various brands of bearings, most often nickel-plated units with non-corrosion-resistant ball-bearing inserts. In six months or less, seals failed and allowed water and contamination to enter the bearing. This intrusion would cause the raceway to wear and eventually fuse the bearings, which would lock the unit to the shaft. Frequently, failures were catastrophic, requiring complete shaft replacement.
Charles Brown, manager of plant engineering at Hormel Foods, says he found a solution in Kilian Survivor PS bearings produced by The Torrington Co., Torrington, CT. The housed units combine corrosion-proof components for extended life and reduced maintenance in the demanding industrial applications typically found in the food industry. The polymer housing and special stainless steel bearing insert resist a wide range of common corrosives and contaminants, including acids, alkalis, solvents, detergents, oils and other chemicals. Specifically designed for moderate loads and speeds in processing and packaging environments, the Survivor PS polymer resists caustic chemical washdowns as well as steam and heat temperatures up to 250 degrees F and brief exposure up to 320 degrees F. The wide-inner-ring design provides shaft support and setscrew locking. All materials, including the lubricant, comply with federal food-processing requirements.
"We need bearings that will withstand some of the toughest applications in our industry," says Brown. "Sterilization is integral to our production process and we are constantly washing the area using high-pressure (250psi) hot water (140 degrees F) and strong cleaning solutions. Before switching to the Survivor PS bearings, we replaced our units every six months. Now, most of our bearings are still running after two years in the same corrosive environment. This is more than four times the operation life of other bearings we've used."
Hormel uses Survivor PS pillow blocks and flanges on five conveyors that move food cans through the washing process prior to adding the product. The housed units support head and tail shafts that hold the conveying chain. The company will have 20 to 25 bearings running at any one time. These include 2-bolt, 4-bolt, and pillow-block configurations. Shaft size ranges primarily between 3/4 in. and 11/4 in., determined by location.
Brown estimates the return on investment for the Survivor PS units is one year. The units are more expensive than competing products, but pay for themselves in the first year. For every six months of operation after that, each unit represents a $50 to $100 savings for the company, says Brown, who adds that the downtime associated with unit replacement can also cost the company as much as $1000 per hour, depending on which conveying line needs service.

L'educazione e la comunicazione previdenziale - Il caso italiano
There is both theoretical and empirical evidence for considering a good level of financial education and literacy as relevant means to improve the portfolio choices of investors, to avoid some behavioural mistakes and to enhance the effectiveness of financial regulation. Therefore, many countries find it appropriate to invest in the financial and, more specifically, the retirement education of their citizens. In this perspective, the paper first presents a chapter regarding the framework of the Italian retirement system, specifically with regard to the issues that can be associated with the financial awareness of the individuals. There are then, as mentioned, some chapters dedicated to the most recent arguments for the relevance of financial and retirement education and literacy. An empirical analysis of the Italian financial culture follows, together with some evidence of the main actions taken by national and international organisation in this field. Finally, some topics regarding information transparency and communication provided by the Italian pension funds are described, along with some proposals to improve them.

Inhabited since the ancient times of Illyrian tribes, Greeks and Romans, it is known not only by its vineyards and quality wines, but also by its centuries longue tradition of navigation.
The Napoleon Road on Pelješac extends from Ston and passes along almost the complete length of the peninsula. The route had
the strategic importance. It was constructed by the French army with participation of the local inhabitants and continued so under Austrian rule.
The Napoleon Road on Pelješac passes in direct proximity to known localities, all possessing exceptional historical significance dating from the pre-historic period to the 19th century.

Ryan Gosling's Not Dead: Enough with the Celebrity Death Hoax
Hey girl, you can stop sobbing uncontrollably, because Ryan Gosling is alive and well. As if The Notebook isn't enough of a tear-jerker already, on Tuesday the disreputable Global Associated News reported that the Canadian heartthrob fell 50 feet to his death while filming a movie in the Kitzbühel Alps.
Gosling is just the latest victim of the Internet's most boring trend: The celebrity death hoax. It seems we're now hearing about celebrities' unexpected and totally bogus deaths at a rate of about two per week, and in the past few months death rumors have circulated about Justin Bieber, Bon Jovi, Snooki, Usher, Chris Brown, Reba McEntire, Patrick Dempsey, Paul McCartney, Ja Rule, and even Boo, the "world's cutest dog."
As fans of April Fool's Day pranks and every online meme from LOLCats to Rickrolling, we find this prank totally puzzling. The reports themselves are never amusing. It's not like we're told that Bieber was trampled by a pack of lovesick fans, or that Snooki OD'ed on a chemical in self-tanner. All the hoaxes prove is that information spreads fast on Facebook and Twitter, which we already knew, and the prank is over as soon as a celebrity says, "Hey, I'm not dead."
People of the Internet, we hate to say this, but we're truly disappointed in you. Celebrity death hoaxes are pointless and unfunny, and frankly we expect more of you. Remember when you convinced everyone that Paul from the Wonder Years was Marilyn Manson and that Lady Gaga was a dude? That was some good stuff. If you're going to spread lies about celebrities, at least be creative. The folks at Snopes.com need something juicy to debunk, and we're long overdue for a good urban legend about gerbil-related sexual activities.

GUEST BLOGGER: Jess Zarnow from Dressed in Copper
These are just a few of the delicious treats available to purchase in Wendy Ashwin's chocolate and patisserie shop Four Winds Chocolate, located on High Street in Willunga.
Still relatively new to the scene in Willunga, this French inspired store shares its surrounds with eateries such as The Golden Fleece Cafe and Russell's Pizza. Its walls are donned with turquoise blue and red and white blinds extend over the windows. Hanging baskets overflow with bright flowers and underneath them is an array of freshly baked treats ready to be devoured.
Wendy has been in the baking business for years – it's just one of the reasons why her shop has taken off with roaring success and become incredibly popular with locals. She baked her goods at the Victor Harbor Markets for years, selling cookies and an array of sweet treats. After years of being in the market scene, she eventually decided to pursue her dreams of opening up a permanent home for her sweets, and next thing you know, Four Winds happened.
The menu at Four Winds Chocolate changes on a weekly basis, but you will always find the favourites. Freshly baked brioches with flavours of chocolate and rhubarb always run out the door, as well as their tarts, salted caramel macarons and colourful chocolates. Each little item displays no fault, with Wendy being a stickler for perfection when it comes to making her sweets. Her delicate chocolates are painted by hand in a variety of colours and come in unique flavours such as Olive Oil, Cardamon and Lime and Raspberry and Lychee. This year you can see plenty of new sweets coming out of Four Winds HQ, from pastries and breads to incredible new chocolate flavours.
After a bumper Christmas season, Wendy is back on deck and on to a new venture just in time for Valentine's Day. As of 14 February she will be collaborating Justine from the East End Flower Market in Adelaide. You will be able to pre-order bunches of blooms and a selection of glossy red and white salted caramel chocolate hearts – the perfect gift idea for your loved one. The flowers will soon become a regular occurrence at Four Winds, with a small but stunning selection being available in the coming weeks when the store opens for trade.
In the mean time you can find Wendy and the Four Winds Chocolate team every Saturday at 30 High Street, Willunga. They will also be more mobile this year, popping up at several markets around Adelaide. Check their Facebook page and Instagram for more details.

Last night I had reservations for 8pm, but for some reason Opentable registered it to their computer as 6.30. So when we showed up, there was no table available. I definitely made a reso for 8, because they sent me a confirmation email with that time. The hostess explained that this had happened before, when Opentable inexplicably used a different time than the one it showed on the screen. Luckily they had room at 8:30, so the damage was minimal, but if I had reserved for a Friday night, our evening probably would have been ruined. One of my dining companions last night said that this had happened to him before as well -- Opentable assigned him a completely different evening.
What the heck is going on? How often does this happen, and how long as this been going on? That's bad enough to make me reserve on the phone, every single time.

The San Antonio Spurs Australian contingent of Aron Baynes and Patty Mills has taken the Larry O'Brien trophy to their homeland to show off their hard won prize, and decided to do a quick videobomb of a local sports reporter with trophy in hand.
Aussie rules football reporter Julian DeStoop was doing a live report from Collingswood FC's training grounds when what he thought were two hooligans ran into the shot, after asking them to leave, he gives Mills a shove in his recently injured shoulder and the two run off.
Also on Extra Mustard: Nine-man ring of fire alley-oop is the best pool dunk of the day
DeStoop was later informed of who the interlopers were and apologized, but Baynes decided to make him feel just a little bit worse about it.
@FOXSportsNews hope you got #Lazzas good side! @Patty_Mills said the hit from @JDESTOOP80_FOX will keep em out another couple months
— Aron Baynes (@aronbaynes) July 15, 2014
This seems like exactly what everyone should do when they have the O'Brien trophy, just walk around with it, yelling at strangers all day.

Hello, i had unprotected sex with a friend of mine
Patient : Hello, i had unprotected sex with a friend of mine yesterday. Now i have something what looks to be a little bit of blood on the edge where the foreskin stops and goes into more normal skin, i think it's called "glans of corona" it's red and well, looks like if you wouldve pulled it too hard, is this bad? Thank you
Doctor : Hello, Thanks for the query. This is a common finding after vigorous sexual activity. It could be due to mild bleedi ng from the capillaries around the penile tissue and has got collected over the area. An inflammation can also lead to redness and a similar appearance. There is nothing to worry about. In case you experience pain, fever or abnormal bleeding or discharge from the area, see a doctor for an examination immediately. You may need a course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Hope this helped. Regards

I guess it's funny that what got me thinking about winners and losers in the digital revolution was a couple of stories in an old-fashioned, dead-tree version of a newspaper. The stories in The Wall Street Journal, one over the other, told the tale of the decline of the newspaper industry and the trend of fewer shoppers visiting physical stores. Yes, the Internet changes everything, as we've been saying for years. The juxtaposition of the stories grabbed my attention because they were about newspapers, an industry I recently left, and retail, an industry I now pay a lot of attention to. It would be tempting to draw simple parallels: The Internet killed newspapers and now it's killing brick-and-mortar stores. But while both sectors are facing massive market shifts brought on by technological progress, their prospects couldn't be more different. The main reason? Newspapers sell advertising and stores sell stuff. "Advertising is no longer a good, like a toaster, but a way of targeting specific buyers at specific times and places on specific devices," media analyst Ken Doctor said in an e-mail when I asked him to compare and contrast the industries. "The targeting of advertising -- made possible by the Web -- is a whole different product/service than space buying (print or online)." Newspapers' revenue from print advertising is now less than half of what it was in 2006, according to the Pew Research Center. (While the chart with this story is a year old, Pew is reporting that print ad revenue was down nearly 9 percent in 2013.) Add to that the fact that digital ads raise dimes on the dollar compared to print advertising, and you can see the bind print newspapers are in. (You've heard the joke about the manufacturer who was losing $1 on every widget shipped, right? He figured he'd make it up on volume.)
But a toaster, sold by say Crate & Barrel or Macy's or Target, is still a toaster, whether it's sold online or in a store. And whether you buy it at the store or online, the toaster, in general, holds its value and the store that sells it to you can still profit from its sale. Which is not to say that retail stores have nothing to worry about. The Journal reports that a monthly survey of traffic to U.S. stores showed that with the exception of April, shopper visits have dropped by more than 5 percent every month compared to the previous year for the past two years, according to ShopperTrak. "The pressure comes as consumer tastes are changing," the Journal story says. "Instead of wandering through stores and making impulse purchases, shoppers use their mobile phones and computers to research prices and cherry-pick promotions, sticking to shopping lists rather than splurging on unneeded items." In fact, retail needs to learn from newspapers and not be bashful about changing rapidly and dramatically to take advantage of consumers' new ways of doing business. "Retail will evolve faster in the next five years than in the past 50," Kathy Grannis, a spokeswoman for the National Retail Federation tells me. "Retailers have no choice but to keep up with the demand from their shoppers really." Newspapers initially saw their online operations as competitors to their own print products. They'd delay posting breaking stories on their websites until they could deliver them in print to their subscribers' doorsteps. Successful retailers, on the other hand, are rapidly melding their online and in-store operations into one experience. "The ones that are unable to adapt to the new world, to combine offline and online and give into the fact that (retail stores) are showrooms, they will die," says Tuomas Wuoti, CEO of Walkbase, a Finland-based company that helps physical stores put consumer data to use. "But the ones that are actually looking forward to the future and embracing opportunities -- the online opportunities alongside their offline brick-and-mortar -- they're making a big buck out of it." For example, Wuoti says from his home in Helsinki, smart retailers are offering "click-and-collect," the ability to purchase online and pick up in store. Or they are giving shoppers the option of ordering in-store and having their purchases delivered to their homes. The best in the business are connecting with mobile shoppers who opt-in to programs that sense when individuals are in a particular store. Based on past behavior those merchants then send coupons and other offers on the spot. Grannis, whose organization represents 12,000 members, points to retailers like Nordstrom, which is integrating its in-store shopping with social activities through Wanelo (displayed on TV screens) and Pinterest (through displays and arming associates with an app that matches popular Pinterest items with inventory). "What a lot of stores, believe it or not, are doing, they're actually bringing the same online shoppers into their store and helping them have an online experience in their store," she says. Retailers might have seen their e-commerce and in-store divisions as distinct and perhaps even in competition for a time, but they were quickly disabused of the notion, Wuoti says. "When you have separate teams, driving in different directions, different strategies," he says, "it might be that you cannibalize your own business -- offline and online. You can actually try to harmonize it. Make it one business." Just as online retailers have been striving for years to harness data to provide one-to-one personalization on the Web, in-store operations are now working to do the same. The effort was a big focus of the National Retail Federation's recent NRFtech event, the organization reported on its website. Among the more notable innovations, according to the organization, were:
Artificial intelligence systems that go beyond analyzing consumers' past behavior and anticipate shoppers' intent.
"Supercharged" loyalty programs that collect consumer data from many different outlets and stores to create more meaningful offers.
Computer-driven imaging and data visualization, which for instance, can create heat maps (without identifying shoppers) that show traffic patterns and the time consumers spend in certain areas of a store.
Beacons and other devices that can locate shoppers in a store and send them relevant offers.
All of which, the NRF reports, were discussed in the context of choice and respecting consumers' desire for privacy, which obviously varies by individual. "What really counts, is the personalized service," Wuoti says of brick-and-mortar stores that want to stay competitive. That and an unwavering willingness to change. "The store isn't dead," says the NRF's Grannis, "but it will continue to evolve." The faster, the better.

EU's finance ministers set to recapitalise ailing banks
France and Belgium to stave off collapse of Dexia Bank as heavy exposure to Greece sees shares fall to all-time low
EUROPEAN Union finance ministers are examining ways of co-ordinating recapitalisations of financial institutions after they agreed that additional measures were urgently needed to shore up the region's banks.
Although the details of the plan are still under discussion, officials said EU ministers meeting in Luxembourg had concluded that they had not done enough to convince financial markets that Europe's banks could withstand the current debt crisis.
In a sign that European governments were preparing to act, Wolfgang Schäuble, the German finance minister, said Berlin could, if necessary, reactivate support mechanisms it put in place in 2008 to recapitalise the banks. The mechanisms had expired and the German government had until now insisted they were not needed.
"Everyone said the big concern is that worrying developments on the financial markets will escalate into a banking crisis," Mr Schäuble said at a press conference.
France and Belgium yesterday promised to support Dexia Bank which has lent billions to Greece and saw its shares collapse yesterday.
Debt crisis
The two governments will support Dexia via guarantees for a 'bad bank' holding its worst assets in a bid to prevent its troubles from deepening the eurozone debt crisis.
Dexia has seen its shares drop as much as 38pc to an all-time low yesterday as confidence in the group collapsed.
"We have to put all the dangerous parts outside of the bank. It is here where the state guarantee will come into play, it's what's called a 'bad bank'," Belgian Finance Minister Didier Reynders said after a joint Franco-Belgian government statement pledging support.
The bank's problems, along with the delays in agreeing the next tranche of loans for Greece, dominated conversation in Luxembourg where Europe's finance ministers met yesterday.
Afterwards, Finance Minister Michael Noonan said Dexia would not affect Ireland. "It's a Franco-Belgian issue, it's nothing to do with the Irish situation," he said.
"We have seen banking shares marked down significantly over the last number of weeks, there's been great volatility and I suppose it's part of the worldwide concern about economies not going as well as we would have expected," he added.
The minister said that while "some smaller" European banks may be forced to recapitalise because of the latest crisis, his "private opinion" was that Irish banks had already been capitalised "in excess of what was absolutely necessary".
The recapitalisation of those European banks was "a matter for the individual governments and for the monetary authorities, it's not something that Ireland is going to get involved in because we've done our job at a fairly high cost", he added.
Yves Leterme, the caretaker prime minister of fellow Dexia shareholder Belgium, summoned core cabinet members to an emergency evening meeting to discuss the bank's problems.
Luxembourg, not a shareholder but home to one of Dexia's three main arms, said it would take an active role in the bank's restructuring. Finance minister Luc Frieden said he did not expect final decisions on the bank's future yesterday, adding it was "not a panic situation".
Dexia has already taken a €338m loss to cover a 21pc Greek debt discount agreed by private investors. However, it stands to lose more if European finance ministers decide to make banks take bigger losses on Greek debt than they have already agreed to accept, as was being discussed by ministers.
Apart from Greece, Dexia is also suffering from a mismatch between short-term borrowing to finance long-term lending to public authorities, which prompted a €6bn bailout in 2008.

On November 3, 2015, President Obama directed key federal agencies to adopt new or more extensive compensatory mitigation policies over the next six to twenty-four months. Once implemented, these policies could block development of certain sensitive areas and substantially increase the cost of mitigation required to obtain federal permits and approvals.
The new policy, entitled "Mitigating Impacts on Natural Resources from Development and Encouraging Private Investment," applies to federal land management agencies, as well as those with permitting and regulatory jurisdiction.1 These include the Department of Agriculture (US Forest Service), the Department of Interior (Bureau of Land Management, US Fish & Wildlife Service, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management), the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Defense (US Army Corps of Engineers), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (National Marine Fisheries Service).
Expanded mitigation requirements will impact sectors across the economy that depend on federal permits and authorizations. Examples of affected industries include both traditional and renewable energy development, particularly on federal lands; timber sales and related forestry activities; mining and mineral extraction; and activities affecting species protected under the Endangered Species Act. Any project affecting wetlands covered under the newly expanded "Waters of the United States" Clean Water Act rule could also be impacted.
Reciting a "moral obligation … to leave America's natural resources in better condition than when we inherited them," the new Presidential policy expands mitigation requirements in three important ways:
- First, it adopts a new "net benefit goal" for the mitigation of natural resource impacts. This appears to go well beyond simply avoiding, minimizing, or offsetting impacts associated with activities permitted or approved by federal agencies, instead imposing an affirmative obligation on the regulated community to improve the condition of affected natural systems.
- Second, it directs federal agencies to use "large-scale plans and analysis" to identify areas "more appropriate" for development and those where development should be prohibited. This mirrors and expands on a "landscape-scale" mitigation policy adopted by the Department of Interior just one week earlier, and could be used to support regional mitigation strategies for large-scale developments. However, it also suggests that areas could be placed off-limits to certain activities based on agencies' assessment of the "resource's value."
- Third, it instructs federal agencies to "give preference to advance compensation mechanisms" that achieve the agency's environmental objectives "prior to the harmful impacts of a project." While the mechanism for this "advance compensation" is unclear, and it could enhance the use of off-site mitigation bank approaches, this appears to expand on the problematic practice—already employed by some districts within the Corps of Engineers—of requiring costly, upfront mitigation of impacts from all phases of a multi-phase development, even when the ultimate impacts are highly uncertain or when upfront mitigation is not financially feasible until initial phases of the project have been completed.
Agencies must issue their new mitigation policies within six months to two years. It is not clear whether or to what extent the agencies will seek public comment on their various mitigation policies. However, there are strong arguments that requiring a "net benefit goal" would exceed certain agencies' statutory authority. Members of the regulated community should be prepared to provide substantive comments regarding mitigation policies that may affect them. They also should vigilantly guard against overreaching as any final policies are applied by agency staff.

It is constructed with high strength 2″ 6063 seamless extruded aluminum tube. It is a very easy tower to install, usually about a 2 hour job. The laser cut side flanges have pre-drilled holes to bolt on the R5 wakeboard racks. This method eliminates the need for big, expensive clamps and gives the tower a clean, all one piece look.

Nadam and swaram welcome me, as I enter Valeeswaran koil on South Mada Street. E. Kumar, a fourth-generation nadaswaram player from Keezh Sithambur is playing in front of the main sannidhi. He is seated on the floor, in a white kurtha and dhoti; viboothi stripes his forehead, a gold watch circles his wrist. "I learnt to play when I was 14," he tells me, when he completes the song. "I've always loved the nadaswaram. I grew-up hearing my father and grandfather; they woke-up at 4 a.m. everyday and practised for two hours." When he turned 15, Kumar came to Chennai, and later got his diploma (Vathiya Kalaimani) from Raja Annamalai Mandram College. "Now, I'm 28-years-old, and I'm still learning," he smiles.
Playing the nadaswaram is a hard-skill, since it requires good breath control, says Kumar, who plays regularly at Valeeswaran temple, besides performing at marriages and functions. And yet, the income is not in line with the current cost of living. "My father and grand-father are also agriculturists, so they have another source of income. In my case, people who visit this temple book me for family functions. But only those who appreciate music pay reasonably. Others think 'evalo kudutha podum'."
The nadaswaram, Kumar tells me, is made of 'aachamaram' wood and the — sivalli (mouth-piece) is made of 'korukkuthattu', a plant. Both are handmade by highly skilled craftsmen at Thiruvaduthurai, near Mayavaram. "I went there with my gurunadhar, P. Varamoorthy, tried several instruments, checked the sruthi (pitch), and played it for a few hours, to get used to it. This one," he points to his dark brown nadaswaram, "cost me Rs. 4,000 five years ago". A nadaswaram typically lasts for ten years, and Kumar keeps three spares at home.
Kumar, fond of classical music, lists Hindolam and Revathi ragas as his personal favourites, but for concerts, he chooses songs depending on the occasion and the audience. 'Kurai Ondrum Illai', 'Sambo Shiva Sambo', and 'Kaatrinilley Varum Geetham' are very popular. "There's an old man who comes here, who always asks me to play 'Alaipayudhey'," he smiles, adding that a thavil player usually accompanies him (he's not around that day). Married, his wife is a homemaker, with a two-year-old son, Kumar cycles to the temple from Mandaveli, where he lives. "You know, my son already picks up the nadaswaram and tries to play the instrument," smiles Kumar. And yet, he's reluctant to choose his son's career for him. "He can opt for higher-studies, if he wishes. If he wants to learn nadaswaram, I will gladly teach him when he's 10. But the reason a lot of people are no longer pursuing this as a career is because it does not pay well."
As we speak, bells clang in the temple and a man breaks into a song. When the nadaswaram and the thavil play together, it creates a concert-like atmosphere in the temple, Kumar tells me. "Lots of people sit down and listen to it." Temples have, in the past, always been cultural hubs. And for a few hours everyday, Valeeswaran koil too becomes one…
The reason a lot of people are no longer pursuing this as a career is because it does not pay well

I did an interview recently for a blog called loveyourtemple, and we chatted for a while about confidence, body image and learning how to be comfortable with yourself. One of the questions she asked me was what I did when I saw another woman who was attractive, talented, clever or just generally amazing, and felt tempted to compare myself. I responded that naturally, we compare ourselves to others and that I tend to say a quick prayer that I won't dwell on jealously or envy, and then try and compliment the woman in question. It's way of turning my jealousy on its head and confronting it, instead of entertaining the temptation to give in to my insecurities and be catty.
It got me mulling over the idea of women seeing each other as competition.
I think most women would be lying if they said they never struggled with seeing other women as their competitors. All of us have times when we see a woman who is physically more attractive than us, gets more male attention, or just seems to have it all together, and feel a twinge of jealousy. I'm almost certain most women have made comments to friends about a woman who everyone is swooning over not being 'all that', sometimes out of envy. I also think it's ridiculous to paint this as a purely female issue – men are competitive too, often fiercely so, but they aren't encouraged to hide their competitiveness in the same way women are.
Writer Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie states that we teach young women "to see each other as competitors, not for jobs or accomplishments which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men". I'll go on record as saying that I disagree with her. I lean towards believing that competitiveness, even in terms of accomplishments, isn't a good thing. I've seen it bring out the really nasty side of people that tend to be fairly sane individuals. Striving to embody excellence in the practice of your gifts and talents is, in my opinion, a far better road than that of competition. You can learn from other people, see where they went wrong and determine to carve out a path for yourself towards greatness, without that having to be in relation to someone else.
I don't think that women compete for the affections of the opposite sex more than men do – I think that men compete for women's attentions as well, in a more open way. Unfortunately, women are encouraged to put far more energy into competing for male attention than competing for anything else, but at the same time hide their competitiveness – it creates a culture of hidden jealously which thrives on our insecurities.
Most worryingly, society encourages the focus of this competition to be physical attractiveness. I've noticed that Hollywood portrayals encourage a very binary type of femininity. A typical storyline often pits an extremely physically attractive woman who inevitably has a foul personality, against a homely, nerdy, 'friend-zoned', less attractive women who is 'beautiful inside'. Typically, there is a prom, a party, a two week disappearance or some such event, and the less attractive woman materialises, complete with makeover which finally awakens the dormant desire of her long term crush.
I don't think it's necessarily wrong to portray the idea that a man is more likely to be attracted to you if you're physically attractive – that is after all, true for both sexes. I do think though, the idea that pretty girls tend to have ugly personalities, and ugly girls have pretty hearts is yawn inducing.
I'm not sure yet whether female competition is a natural function of the relationship economy – we compete for the attentions of the opposite sex because we are primed to want to reproduce. I do think that even if there are natural prompters to be competitive, there is definitely an element of socialisation where women are taught to believe that their highest achievement is man grabbing.
Ultimately, it comes down to being confident in your own value as a person regardless of gender, and knowing where that value comes from. If that value is from being able to one-up someone else for a partner, you'll end up destroying that relationship as well.

The book of Buckanan was mentioned with reverence quite a few times : "The Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasions Imperil Our Country and Civilization".ReplyDelete
What a hypocritical title for hypocritical readers and mental midgets. it is said that when Mahatma Gandhi was asked : "What do you think of Western civilization ?", Gandhi replied : "I think it would be a good idea".
Since the official first europeans set foot on the American continent, there has been nothing but tears and death for the indigenous people of every corner of the world. It is still going on to this day, with the most vicious weapon of mass destruction of them all : 'POVERTY'.
Still, the well-trained hypocrites of those so-called western countries dig their ugly head in the sand and start complaining about 'immigrants'.
How about stop causing and/or contributing to destruction and poverty all over the world for a start, that way people won't have to immigrate in the first place. I know it might come as a surprise to you, but God made food and water available all over the planet, not only in North America and Western Europe; just tell your masters to stop exporting hate and chaos.
Maybe the hypocrites who complain about immigrants are desperately trying to forget that they, too, are nothing but slaves on the plantation, unaware - or worse : fully happy, well-adapted, consenting..etc - with their slavery. Sure, they might have
it a little less hard than the slaves on the field, because of their status as House-Negroes.
Those hypocrites who complain about immigrants are House Negroes anxious to protect the crumbs that their master leaves on the table, instead of freeing themselves from the master and freeing their brothers on the field; if indeed they were decent humans.
Then during this podcast we heard : "culture", "race"...etc.
Those are very BS concepts that empty people who have nothing inside them (ie : disconnected from their Maker, unaware of why they have been put on this earth in the first place), tend to cling to very dearly as a futile attempt to belong to a herd and to have a fake sense of identity. They are insecure on their own to say the least, unless they think they belong to a herd.
Being as they are - completely disconnected from their Maker - they are trying to find a cheap substitute. They lead fear-driven lives and hate-driven lives, always trying to blame the cause of their inner misery on external factors (the immigrants, the economy, the weather, the jews, the muslims...etc). Fear and Hate are two sides of the same coin and that shall be their earthly punishment for insisting on remaining blind. Very often you will hear them talk about "love" while they are out looking for someone to stroke their ugly hungry ego, like vampires out looking for someone to suck the life out of him/her.
The guest on this podcast is from croatia.
I noticed that the folks from those previous soviet satellite nations (croatia, serbia, romania (they love to hate gypsies)...etc) are fanatics about "race", "culture" and similar BS concepts as their prime source for Human Identity. I think that was their modest way of opposing the soviet rule and refusing to be absorbed. But I also think it has messed up their moral compass for the worse (example : their understanding for carrying the slaughter of muslims from Bosnia in the early 1990' is that Bosnian are traitors for having accepted Islam under Ottoman rule).
Blessed is he whose heart is not blind.

Plans for a new multi-million pound police station in Blackpool remain firmly on the cards, Lancashire's crime chief has pledged.
Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw has confirmed the £21m set aside last year for the scheme is still in the budget.
And he said it was important to move forward with the proposals as quickly as possible due to the deteriorating state of the existing station on Bonny Street.
Mr Grunshaw said: "The money is in the budget and it is a commitment we have to replace Blackpool police station.
"We are in negotiation with Blackpool Council and our partners over finding a suitable site and we hope to make progress as soon as possible.
"The people of Blackpool deserve a good police facility.
"There are cost implications with the building we have now so we need to move forward with this."
The former Lancashire Police Authority set aside the cash for the a new police station in February last year.
At the time, Lancashire Police's chief constable Steve Finnigan warned the existing station was coming to the end of its life. But since the decision was made, the police authority has been scrapped and replaced with the Police and Crime Commissioner.
The money, which is earmarked to be spent between now and 2016/17 is coming from Government grants, capital reserves and prudential borrowing.
Blackpool Council has previously said it would like to see the station relocated to the new Central Business District being developed around North Railway Station.
But it is now believed the police would prefer a site in the south of the town, although no details have yet been confirmed. Regeneration bosses also want the police station and law courts to relocate to make way for a new leisure development on the Central Station site.

Cull criticised after fall in TB
3:15pm Friday 20th June 2014
By Mike Bridgen
3:15pm Friday 20th June 2014
By Mike Bridgen
THE Government faced renewed criticism of its controversial badger cull as figures showed new tuberculosis outbreaks in cattle had reached a decade low.
New figures showed the monthly incidence rate for bovine TB in England, which measures the proportion of new outbreaks discovered through testing, was about 3.25 per cent in March the lowest rate since 2004.
It follows a similarly low rate in February of 3.5 per cent, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said.
Ministers said the statistics showed that controls as part of the bovine TB eradication strategy were beginning to make a difference, and announced proposals for new measures to further tighten movement controls on cattle.
But animal welfare campaigners said the figures showed there was no justification for the badger cull, which is being piloted in Somerset and Gloucestershire.
The Government insists badger culling is needed as part of a strategy to eradicate TB in cattle in England.
But experts assessing the first year of the two pilot culls found that it was not humane and failed to kill the number of badgers, which can spread the disease to cattle, needed to reduce infection in herds.
Farming minister George Eustice said the statistics showed that the controls in the bovine TB eradication strategy were beginning to make a difference and the new measures would help even more to "bring this devastating disease under control".
"However, we cannot become complacent," he said. "The impact of bovine TB on our cattle farmers, their families and their communities cannot be overstated.
"That is why must do everything we can to reach our aim of making the whole of England TB free."
But campaigners said the latest figures, which also revealed significant reductions in the number of cattle being slaughtered because of TB in Somerset and Gloucestershire, did not justify a badger cull.
Dominic Dyer, of the Badger Trust and Care for the Wild, said: "These are pretty sensational figures and highly significant.
"There is no way that the badger culls from last year could have influenced these numbers at all, so the drop is purely because of the tighter farming controls that have come in over the last couple of years.
"If I was in the Government, I'd be shouting these numbers from the rooftops, but unfortunately they would rather keep quiet – because these figures don't justify a badger cull."
He suggested any farmer told that following a few rules could lead to the number of cattle being slaughtered for TB to be halved, as happened in Somerset in January to March this year, compared to the same period in 2013, would take it.
Mr Dyer added: "So let's now direct all our energy to ensuring that we repeat this success across the country, by doing what works, and not focusing on a badger cull,which will achieve nothing."
He added that testing was flawed as it could miss infected cows, and that problem needed to be sorted out before bovine TB could be eradicated.

1. The CAA is the UK's independent civil
aviation regulator, with all civil aviation regulatory functions
being integrated within a single specialist body. In 2001 the
CAA's functions were extended to include the economic regulation
of NATS' licensed subsidiary NATS (En Route) Limited (NERL) and
oversight of the NERL Licence from a general regulatory perspective.
These new functions were added to the CAA's longstanding functions
in relation to aviation safety and airspace regulation and the
economic regulation of UK airports and UK-based airlines.
2. NATS under the Transport Act 2000, through
NERL, is responsible for providing air traffic services to meet
the Government's international obligations. The CAA as regulator
and licence manager monitors and enforces the licence regime in
accordance with the Transport Act. The CAA has set out publicly[1]
the policies it expects to pursue in managing the NERL Licence
and has consulted on these with NATS, its users and other interested
3. In carrying out its regulatory and licence
management roles, the CAA has an overriding duty under Section
2 of the Transport Act 2000 to exercise its functions so as to
maintain a high standard of safety in the provision of air traffic
services. Its other duties under the Act include: furthering the
interests of users (broadly defined); promoting licence holders'
efficiency and economy; securing that licence holders will not
find it unduly difficult to finance activities authorised by their
licences; taking account of any UK international obligations notified
by, or guidance on environmental objectives given by, the Secretary
of State; and imposing on licence holders the minimum restrictions
consistent with the exercise of these functions. Other than the
overriding safety duty and the subordinate duty with respect to
imposing the minimum necessary restrictions, the CAA has discretion
to weigh its duties against each other as it considers appropriate
where there is a conflict between them.
4. The CAA places considerable weight in
carrying out its economic regulatory and licensing functions on
the development by NERL of effective consultation and decision
making with its users. This reflects the existence of a sophisticated
and well-informed user base in the form of the airlines whose
interests are highly inter-dependent with those of NATS. For such
a relationship to work effectively, it is essential that NERL
provides its users, including in particular those who are not
members of The Airline Group, with a sufficient level and quality
of information on its forward looking business and capital investment
plans. The Licence sets out the basic requirement on NERL in this
regard. Building on this, the CAA aims to ensure that the nature
and scope of the information provided to users is sufficient and
that the consultation process is itself effective.
5. A key function of the CAA under the Licence
is the establishment of the price caps for NERL's UK and Oceanic
air traffic services operations. Because the initial price caps
for the next five years from 2001 to 2005 needed to be in place
in time to inform the bidding process for the NATS' PPP Strategic
Partner and ahead of the Transport Act and the Licence coming
into effect, these were established by the Government through
the then Department for the Environment, Transport and the Regions
(DETR). However, given the CAA's prospective role of economic
regulator for NERL, the DETR requested its advice on the initial
price caps. The CAA gave its advice to the DETR in August 2000.
The DETR announced its decision in January 2001 and this was incorporated
in the NERL Licence.[2]
6. The CAA's advice was based on a standard
UK regulatory approach. It emphasised the importance, which the
CAA attached to the regulatory framework being both transparent
and sustainable if it was to meet the core objectives of the PPP.
The general economic regulatory philosophy underpinning the proposed
price caps was therefore set out fully in the advice.
7. A fundamental aim was to give NERL appropriate
incentives to meet demand over the first five years and to do
so in a cost efficient manner. In line with one of the key objectives
of the PPP the CAA sought also to provide good incentives for
NERL to invest in necessary additional capacity and service quality
desired by airlines for the longer term. Consistent with maintaining
these desirable incentives, the CAA's advice was designed to secure
a robust long term regulatory regime in accordance with best regulatory
8. The CAA made clear that its adviceagain
in line with best regulatory practicetook account of external
benchmarks and the costs of new capacity. Its aim over the longer
term was to move further away from economic regulation through
price caps based solely or principally on NERL's own costs, The
CAA developed initial benchmark measures which indicated that
NERL had high costs in relation to other comparable European air
traffic service providers. The CAA also developed initial measures
of NERL's short and long run incremental costs of new capacity.
However, it recognised that these benchmark and incremental cost
measures would require further development before they would be
able to bear the full weight of future price caps. Development
of the former has been continued by Eurocontrol[3].
9. For the initial five year period the
CAA proposed price caps based on a standard RPI-X formula. For
NERL's UK operations the X factor proposed was RP1-5 for each
of the five years. The advice also provided a detailed exposition
of the key components of the price caps. These included projections
of NERL's demand and operating costs, the estimated value of NERL's
assets (the Regulatory Asset Base), the estimated cost of capital
and the way in which projected capital expenditure had been treated.
10. In the event the DETR decided upon a
somewhat looser price cap on the basis that this would help to
achieve a smooth transition to the PPP. The caps for the first
three years from 2001 to 2003 were set at RP1-2.2, RP1-3 and RP1-4
respectively, with the same RP1-5 as proposed by the CAA in each
of the last two years.
11. NATS has applied to the CAA to re-open
the price caps for the remaining three years of the initial five
year period. It has proposed that the existing caps of RP1-4,
RP1-5 and RP1-5 in 2003, 2004 and 2005 should be replaced by RP1+4,
RP1+3 and RP1+2 respectively.
12. The CAA's responsibility is to make
an independent and thorough analysis of the application in accordance
with the duties set out in Section 2 of the Transport Act 2000
and in line with best regulatory practice. The CAA will reach
its conclusions based on such analysis of the evidence and arguments
submitted by NATS and after consultation with other interested
13. The CAA published on third April 2002
the process and timetable it will work to in dealing with NATS'
application. This provides for a position statement to be published
by the CAA in late May 2002 followed by submissions and, where
appropriate, oral presentations from NATS and other interested
parties. The aim is to reach a decision or, if necessary make
a reference to the Competition Commission, by around the end of
July 2002. In the event that the CAA and NATS reach agreement
on a particular modification, the CAA would be required under
the Transport Act to publish this and take further representations
from other interested parties before reaching a final decision
by around the end of August 2002.
Civil Aviation Authority
April 2002
1. The CAA published on 5 February 2002
an application from NATS (En Route) Limited ("NERL")
to modify the cap on Eurocontrol charges in Condition 21 of its
air traffic services licence. In a note published along with the
application the CAA said that it would publish details of its
process for handling the application and an indicative timeline.
It is now doing so.
2. The CAA has been discussing with NERL
the technical aspects of the application. Subject to these discussions,
the CAA proposes to publish in the second half of May a provisional
position statement in response to the application. This will include
an analysis by the CAA of the application against its statutory
duties set out in section 2 of the Transport Act 2000 together
with the CAA's provisional conclusions on whether the application
should be approved, in whole or in part, or be refused, in whole
or in part.
3. Once it has published its provisional
position statement the CAA will invite written submissions in
response and will allow a period of one month for these. Subject
to issues of confidentiality the CAA would expect to publish responses
on its website. When it has considered the written responses the
CAA plans to invite key industry participants to make oral presentations
to a panel comprising a number of members of the CAA Board. It
would expect to hold these presentations in late June or early
July. The CAA has not reached a final view on the conduct of the
presentations but would be minded to conduct them in the presence
of all the invited parties but without affording the right of
cross-examination. A transcript would be taken and published.
This was the procedure used by the CAA during the development
of its recommendations to the Competition Commission on future
airport price caps under the 1986 Airports Act and which was generally
accepted to work well. The circumstances in the present case are,
however, different and it might therefore be appropriate to adopt
a slightly modified procedure. The CAA would be interested to
hear views on this.
4. The CAA would expect to announce its
decision on NERL's application in the second half of July. There
are circumstances in which that decision could give rise to:
Either of these would be subject to statutory
timescales under the Transport Act. Given these timescales it
might not be possible if there were to be a reference to the Competition
Commission in July for a final decision to be announced before
the end of 2002. In the event of it publishing a proposal in July
under (b) the CAA would expect to announce a final decision in
late August or early September.
5. An indicative timeline, taking no account
at this stage of subsequent developments under (a) or (b) in the
previous paragraph, would be as follows:
. Air Traffic Services Licence for NATS (En Route) Limited (www.caaerg.co.uk) Back
. European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation. Back

Three-phase electricity is rarely used for domestic purposes, the table below is only relevant to electricians, electrical engineers and other technically skilled people. Travellers should take a look at the single-phase voltage table.
Three-phase electricity is a way of supplying three times as much electricity along three wires as can be supplied through two, without having to increase the thickness of the wires. It is usually used in industry to drive motors and other devices.
Three-phase electricity is by its very nature a much smoother form of electricity than single-phase or two-phase power. It is this more consistent electrical power that allows machines to run more efficiently and last many years longer than their relative machines running on the other phases. Some applications are able to work with three-phase power in ways that would not work on single phase at all.

Hey all.
Want to make some Italian sausage for dinner on Monday or Tuesday. We're having a veggie lasagne and I want meat. I thought some sausage as a side would do the trick.
My stand by is the Costco stuff. It's great but as a feature, I'd like something better.
Via Italia area is best for me but will travel.

Lane opens to traffic near Trump Tower
NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - For the first time since Election Day, one lane is now open along W 56th Street between 5th and 6th Ave.
Security has been extra tight in the area where Trump Tower New York is located. The home of President-elect Donald Trump is serving as the transitional headquarters for his incoming administration.
The NYPD's mobile command post was relocated Wednesday from the southwest corner of 56th St. to the northwest corner of 56th St. This allows for the opening of the south side of 56th St. to one-lane thru traffic.
The move in coordination with the U.S. Secret Service is intended to improve congestion and allow easier access for deliveries to businesses.
The block of 56th Street between Madison and Fifth avenues that Trump Tower is on will remain closed.
"The safety of New Yorkers and of the President-Elect are our top concern. The changes we are implementing will maintain that security, while allowing for more movement in the area and addressing concerns raised by surrounding businesses. We will continue to examine and carefully confront the challenges presented by this unprecedented responsibility," said Mayor Bill de Blasio.
"Our department heard the concerns of small business owners near Trump Tower and we took swift action," said Gregg Bishop, Commissioner of the NYC Department of Small Business Services. "By working with Mayor de Blasio, the NYPD, and other colleagues in government, I am pleased that 56th Street will be reopened and that this big security challenge can be met without harming area small businesses."
