An independent inspection of custody cells at Bedfordshire Police stations has found the force has been slow to make improvements.
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, HMIC, made it's first inspection in August 2010 - and at that point - found poor conditions of Bedfordshire Police's custody suites and said investment was needed to raise standards.
Following an unannounced inspection, HMIC now says despite some good individual care for detainees, the lack of improvement in Bedfordshire was disappointing.
Today, Nick Hardwick, the Chief Inspector of Prisons and Dru Sharpling the HM Inspector of Constabulary have published the report of their latest inspection.
The report's summary said: "The inspection was part of a national programme of joint inspections of police custody and the second inspection of Bedfordshire police custody suites. The first inspection was in August 2010, and referred to the poor conditions of the custody estate and risks concerning the cellular accommodation, arguing for investment. At this inspection, both investment and improvement were limited and the estate had significantly deteriorated. Inspectors were told, however, that the executive had recently agreed to build a new custody unit at Kempston.
The chief constable decided to close Bedford custody suite during the inspection as a consequence of inspection findings.
Inspectors were also concerned to find:
Nick Hardwick and Dru Sharpling said:
"While we recognised that new initiatives are making progress, it was disappointing that it has taken over three years and a new senior leadership team to acknowledge the lack of strategic oversight. We noted that, of the 26 recommendations made in our previous report in 2010, seven had been achieved, four had been partially achieved and 15 had not been achieved.
This report provides a number of recommendations to assist the force and the Police and Crime Commissioner to improve provision further. We expect our findings to be considered in the wider context of priorities and resourcing, and for an action plan to be provided in due course."
So, what has not been achieved since the 2010 inspection? HMIC found the following:
There should be sufficient staff in custody at all times to ensure the safety and well-being of detainees.
Not achieved
The force should collate the use of force and monitor for trends, for example by ethnicity, location and officer involved.
Not achieved
Cells and other detainee areas should be clean and free of ligature points, which staff should be trained to identify. Where current resources do not allow ligature points to be removed, a strategy should be put in place to manage the new risks identified.
Not achieved
Some cells should be adapted for use by detainees with physical disabilities.
Not achieved
Booking in areas should allow effective and private communication between detainees and staff.
Not achieved
Health and safety checks should be formalised and consistent across all suites and staff given sufficient
training to carry them out effectively.
Not achieved
All detainees held overnight and those who require one should be offered a shower and should be
able to take it with an appropriate degree of privacy.
Not achieved
Replacement clothing that maintains detainees' dignity should be provided. (4.29)
Not achieved
Food provided should be of sufficient quality and calorific content to sustain detainees for the
duration of their stay.
Not achieved
Appropriate adults should be readily available to support vulnerable adults and juveniles aged 17
Not achieved
There should be no undue delays in transporting immigration detainees to placements in the
immigration custody estate.
Not achieved
Detainees should be told how to make a complaint and should be able to do this before they leave
Not achieved
There should be out-of-hours cover for mental health workers to meet the needs of detainees.
Not achieved
Health care professionals shouldn't instruct non-health care professionals to administer prescribed medicines.
Not achieved
Section 136 detainees should be held in police cells only as a last resort.
Not achieved
On publication of the report, Colette Paul, the Chief Constable of Bedfordshire Police told Heart: "I'm obviously very disappointed with the report, but it's a very fair report.
We've already built a new custody suite at Kempston which has been welcomed by detainees and certainly by our staff. The part I was really really pleased about is the detainees they (Inspectors) spoke to right across a range of religious and cultural backgrounds said staff were really respectful to them throughout their interactions and the detainees said they were treated very well; but also they said (police) staff were very skilful at de-escalating potential problems."
The Chief Constable said she accepted the HMIC report in full and it would "absolutely not" take a further four years to achieve all the report's recommendations and that in the long-term future, her force would be looking to work with Neighbouring forces (Hertfordshire & Cambridgeshire) to provide the very best facilities sharing with the other two forces - something they could only afford working in collaboration with Herts and Cambridgeshire Police.

The Impact of Health Problems on Income of the Elderly in Japan
The aim of this chapter is to empirically examine the impact of health problems of the elderly on their own and their household's income. Using micro panel data from the "Survey on Health and Retirement" focusing on the elderly, we estimate the effect on an individual's income and his household's income of the number of illnesses respondents suffered in the three years preceding the survey, of suffering from a lifestyle disease, and of suffering from one of the three major "killer diseases" in Japan (cancer or malignant growth, heart disease, stroke or cerebrovascular disease). In order to deal with endogeneity in the health indicators, we employ survey respondents' body mass index at age 30 and their parents' medical history as instruments in the estimation and, when focusing on suffering from at least one of the three killer diseases, use respondents' body height as an additional instrument. In the estimation, we focus on male survey participants. The results suggest that an additional illness in the preceding years on average significantly reduced individuals' income. On the other hand, although the estimated coefficients on the effect of lifestyle diseases on individuals' income or household income were as expected negative, they were insignificant in both cases. Furthermore, when dividing observations into two subsamples ? men under the age of 60 and age 60 and over ? we find that in the case of the under 60s, a deterioration in health on average has no significant effect either on the individuals' own income or their household income. Likely reasons are that, if at all possible, such individuals will continue to work, or that any decline in income is offset by the spouse starting to work and/or the receipt of insurance payments. On the other hand, for men aged 60 and over, a deterioration in health has a significant impact on their own income, but that on household income is limited. That such individuals' own income declines is likely due to the fact that they are much more likely to stop working as a result of health problems, while the limited effect on household income may be due to the fact that the share of such individuals' income in total household income is relatively small.

text: NINETY EIGHT REGENCY 148 Report post Posted January 25, 2010 Enemy within stalks Commodore Drive has learned exclusively that the Epica replacement, codenamed V300 within General Motors, will share underpinnings with the Chevrolet Malibu, which is being developed in Detroit. Both cars will be built from the same platform as the award-winning Opel Insignia mid-size sedan (pictured). The Holden version will be built in Korea by GM Daewoo and differ only in styling detail; the Australian version will get a unique Holden front end, as the Epica does now. The Malibu is a big car — the current generation measures nearly 4.9 metres long — that encroaches on Commodore territory in the same way the latest Ford Mondeo sits close to the Blue Oval's locally built large car, the Falcon. The flexibility of the Insignia platform means the V300 could come to Australia with the choice of four or six-cylinder engines; petrol, diesel or even plug-in hybrid; and front- or all-wheel drive. Holden chairman and managing director Alan Batey confirmed Holden had started product planning for the V300 and was conscious of maintaining separation with Commodore. "We will position V300 to make sure it has got a very compelling customer offering, whether that's from technology, powertrains and positioning, so we don't sit a large medium-sized car on top of a large car," Mr Batey said. "We need to be really careful. The two things that really differentiate [V300 and Commodore] are it's a front-wheel-drive car versus a rear-wheel-drive car and, secondly, the powertrain opportunities V300 provides." That means diesel — already offered with the Epica (and Cruze small car) — and, potentially, a hybrid. Neither option is expected for Commodore before the middle of the next decade. "You can't dismiss those things," Mr Batey said. "With fuel at $1.20 it looks OK; if fuel peaks at $2.50 then you are at a different place again, particularly from a fleet perspective. So we need to keep our options open." link: http://smh.drive.com.au/motor-news/enemy-within-stalks-commodore-20100125-mt3a.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paying it forward with solar
The sun shines on everyone around the globe. For our solar customers, that sunshine means affordable, clean energy: a smart and simple way to gain control over their energy costs. But for families here at home who are struggling to make ends meet, or families in remote, off-grid locations, solar power can make all the difference in the world.
That's why we created SUN PLUS ONE: a way for Viridian and our customers to pay it forward and allow more people to share in the benefits of solar. For every 15 installed solar customers, Viridian will fund one solar power system. It's as simple as that: 15 plus one.
Be a part of something bigger. For every fifteen Viridian solar customers, we donate one solar installation somewhere across the world. During the Viridian Sunshine Tour, a group of corporate and field leaders teamed with GRID Alternatives to install a solar energy system for a California family in need.
If you think solar is changing the lives of those who install it on their homes, wait until you see the ripple effect of change it will have on people around the world. We're increasing our commitment to the growing solar industry and helping more and more people put their roofs to work!
Our sun provides enough energy each day to power every home and business in the world. Yet, more than 1.3 billion people around the world live without access to electricity. Sun Plus One is a way for Viridian and our customers to share the benefits of solar with the people that need it the most. Check out the resources below to learn more about Viridian solar and our Sun Plus One program.
Sun Plus One offers a way for each and every Viridian solar customer to make a meaningful and lasting difference.
Download the Fact Sheet (PDF)
With our new solar partner, Sungevity, Viridian Associates are finding that spreading the sunshine is easier than ever before.
Do you want to save money on your energy bill and do something great for the planet? Get started with solar today!
Since the fall of 2015, Viridian has teamed with GRID Alternatives to provide low-income families in the United States with clean and affordable solar power through Sun Plus One. The program has resulted in a pair of U.S.-based donations to date, as field and corporate leaders helped install solar systems for families in New York and California.
Sun Plus One also benefits Barefoot College, a nonprofit that trains rural women in developing countries to be solar engineers, giving them the skills to install donated solar power systems in their communities and to raise the standard of living for all.

When we think about swimming, the first thing that comes to mind is not fitness. Swimming lessons, kids, and playing often occupy the space in our minds dedicated to pools and bodies of water. We are going to review swimming and look at reasons why it can actually be a great workout - as well as something your kids do.
Perfect for people struggling with arthritis, diabetes, and other conditions - Because it's a great sport for lowering stress levels, swimming can help keep blood sugar levels under control. It also stretches your muscles and doesn't put pressure on your joints. The lack of impact allows people with arthritis to get exercise without the pain that usually accompanies activity. Overall it's a great way to stay fit regardless of physical limitations!
It's a full body workout - On average, swimming at an average-slower pace burns 413 calories per hour for a person who weighs 130 pounds. The amount of calories burned only increases with pace and weight. Swimming uses essentially all of your muscles: from biceps to abs to hamstrings, so it's a great way to have a full body workout that doesn't use equipment.
It's the perfect entry sport - Due to its extreme accessibility, swimming is a great way for people who would otherwise struggle with exercise to get into fitness. It provides a gateway not only to water sports and competitive swimming, but it increases confidence and puts you in the right mindset to open up to other types of exercise. Starting small just means throwing on your swimsuit and hopping in the pool.
It's really hard to get injured - This is especially pertinent to people who have had struggles with previous sports or fitness related injuries. Getting into the pool is like entering a safe haven - unless you are involved in contact pool sports like water polo, the only thing that gets in your way is you!
You can do it with your kids - Many people struggle to find the time to squeeze in a workout when they have growing families with active, energetic kids. Swimming is one of the very few activities that is totally family friendly. You don't have to sacrifice time with your kids to get a workout in! Bring your kids to the pool and tread water while they play, take turns watching them while a partner swims laps - there are tons of ways to incorporate family time into exercise time!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Trucks and Trailers' started by moparman, Jan 18, 2007.
who here thinks that toyota will do the farm work my 1500 can do? doubt it
if it's equally matched, don't try and compare your 1500 to a 4 cyl 2wd tacoma, match engine for engine and capacity for capacity. if you take a V8 tundra with 4wd and long bed, and compare it to a V8 1500 with 4wd and long bed, the toyota will take the farm work like a champ.
NO way,i just purchased a 88 toyota today 4 banger and stepping out of a full size chevy into a small truck is like daylight and dark.
bs that jap car wouldnt handle the work i do in a day with my truck i dont drive on the road becuse im 15 but that tundra the new one i was wacthing videos for the ranch with it i just laughed all the way threw it could never haul cattle like that hahaha jap cars haha
Exactly..you stepped into a small truck. The tundra isn't a small truck and will no doubt keep up with the farm work of a 1500 chevy. With the new Tundra coming out it's even more so. It may even beat the chevy in farm work with the new model.
im not talking chevy sry doge hint the name mopar name it coulndt compete unless i c it fo my self in the real world not on the toyota website. haha farm work and toyota
Your right the tundra is a heavy built truck never run one.
Like the opinion of a 15 year old even matters. When you can afford a new truck, make a post about it.
Really, any half ton truck is too small of a truck for hard work in my opinion. That includes Dodge.
However, comparing all the half tons, the new Toyota Tundra has them beat in every department just looking at the specifications...and knowing Toyota's excellent quality control and their long history of very strong compact trucks, I think the Tundra will be every bit as reliable as the Big 3....If not more.
hey i told shopkepper if he saw it im sry for bashing toyota i just cant see how you can buy one and to let you know i probly work harder than you buddy so tell me how do you know i cant aforrd a truck? i dont get payed buddy you try waking up ever mornig at 4 do your chores in the barn leave for school come home work your but off in the field then come back at 5 and milk till 8: 9.00 the only reason im even on the computer is becuse i have the flu if not id have been working today along wit the reat of the week.
You can work hard as hell and not make any money.
Work smart, not hard.
That said, I'm glad to see good work ethic, now take that motivation, and get a job, and make $$$$.
I don't know if you have fast internet off in the boonies there, but watch this video to see why Toyota trucks are known for their strength.

Ball Aerospace and Technologies will pay $976,327 to 904 employees in Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio, Georgia and the District of Columbia for unpaid wages. Ball, a Broomfield, CO-based aerospace defense contractor, operates a facility in the city of Warner Robins supporting Robins Air Force Base.
The U.S. Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division found that Ball had misapplied the executive exemption under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. When top-tiered, hourly workers reached the peak of their pay scales, Ball converted them to salaried, or exempt, status without any corresponding changes in their responsibilities or working conditions. This resulted in $383,235 in unpaid overtime.
The company also routinely required hourly employees to work through their lunch breaks. As a result, the company owed $593,092 in unpaid overtime.
Final note: An hourly employee who works through breaks is a liability, not a bargain. Protect your company from back-wage lawsuits by making sure your employees are properly classified and prohibiting hourly employees from working off the clock.

Principles of Financial Opportunity Reforms
June 3, 2016
Representative Jeb Hensarling introduced a pro-growth, pro-consumer strategy to replace the erroneous Dodd-Frank Act. Principles of Financial Opportunity reforms aim to do away with Too Big to Fail, simplify the complex regulatory system and shrink government\'s presence in the marketplace in order to increase transparency and competition and further financial independence for American citizens. Hensarling\'s plan to repeal and replace Dodd-Frank will foster a system that favors free-market solutions over government regulation. Hensarling delivered these remarks at the National Center for Policy Analysis Financial Crisis Summit on May 12, 2016 on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C.:
The Financial Services Committee of the House of Representatives has a plan to offer reforms as a pro-growth, pro-consumer alternative to the Dodd-Frank Act, which is harming the economy and consumers.
Dodd-Frank Is a Burden on the U.S. Economy. I need not tell you that we continue to suffer from the slowest, weakest, most tepid recovery in our nation\'s history. Some would say a lot of this has to do with our inefficient tax code, and it does. But beyond the tax burden that entrepreneurs face, there is a larger burden known as the regulatory burden -‒ the sheer weight, volume, complexity and uncertainty of a needless avalanche of Washington regulations -‒ much of which has come from Dodd-Frank. So, hear me well: On behalf of all hardworking, struggling Americans, I will not rest -‒ and my Republican colleagues on the House Financial Services Committee will not rest -‒ until we toss Dodd-Frank onto the trash heap of history.
Dodd-Frank stands as a monument to the arrogance and hubris of man in that its answer to incomprehensible complexity and government control is even more incomprehensible complexity and government control. It is a modern day Tower of Babel: 2,300-plus pages; 400 new regulations, spawning tens of thousands of pages of red tape. And its foundation very much rests on a false premise: that somehow deregulation was the root cause of the crisis. But it was not deregulation. In fact, in the decade leading up to the financial crisis, regulatory restrictions in the financial sector actually increased. It was not deregulation; but it was dumb regulation. And there was no dumber regulation than the affordable housing goals of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that incented, cajoled and mandated financial institutions to loan money to people to buy homes that they could not afford to keep. Add to this the Federal Reserve\'s monetary policy that held interest rates too low for too long and we had a housing bubble that inevitably burst. As the current mayor of Chicago once infamously said, "never let a serious crisis go to waste." They didn\'t, and Dodd-Frank was born of the crisis.

Latitudinal variation in avian life histories can be summarized as a slow-fast continuum, termed the 'pace of life', that encompasses patterns in life span, reproduction, and rates of development among tropical and temperate species. Much of the variation in avian pace of life is tied to differences in rates of long-term metabolic energy expenditure. Given the vital role of the mitochondrion in metabolic processes, studies of variation in the mitochondrial genome may offer opportunities to establish mechanistic links between genetic variation and latitudinal 'pace of life' patterns. Using comparative genomic analyses, we examined complete mitochondrial genome sequences obtained from nine, broadly distributed Tachycineta swallow species to test for signatures of natural selection across the mitogenome within a phylogenetic framework. Our results show that although purifying selection is the dominant selective force acting on the mitochondrial genome in Tachycineta, three mitochondrial genes (. ND2, ND5, and CYTB) contain regions that exhibit signatures of diversifying selection. Two of these genes (. ND2 and ND5) encode interacting subunits of NADH dehydrogenase, and amino residues that were inferred to be targets of positive selection were disproportionately concentrated in these genes. Moreover, the positively selected sites exhibited a phylogenetic pattern that could be indicative of adaptive divergence between "fast" and "slow" lineages. These results suggest that functional variation in cytochrome b and NADH dehydrogenase could mechanistically contribute to latitudinal 'pace of life' patterns in Tachycineta. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

To protect a lesser long-nosed bat post-maternity roost, the National Park Service installed bat-compatible gates on the entrances to the abandoned State of Texas Mine within Coronado National Memorial in southeastern Arizona. Video camcorder surveys performed during peak occupation of this roost examined colony size, gate-induced injury or mortality, and bat exit rates. Although the colony decreased in size after the installation of the gate, the reduced number of bats cannot with certainty be attributed to the presence of the gate. A large wildfire and drought likely contributed to reduced numbers. The study did not find evidence that the gates caused injury or mortality, or impeded the bats while exiting the roost. Further monitoring could ensure that lesser long-nosed bats continue to use the State of Texas Mine. © 2015, National Park Service. All rights reserved.

Big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) and a close relative of Arizona myotis (Myotis occultus), the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) in the eastern United States, are among those species experiencing unprecedented population declines related to white-nose syndrome (WNS). Determining population characteristic baselines for big brown bat and Arizona myotis is paramount in detecting population declines before they reach critical levels. We targeted 2 bat species strongly associated with ponderosa pine forests in northern Arizona. Big brown bats and Arizona myotis readily utilize human-made structures and have a cosmopolitan distribution across the ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) ecosystem of northern Arizona (Adams 2003). Between 2005 and 2012 we installed artificial bat roosts at Camp Navajo near Flagstaff, Arizona. We captured bats at these roosting structures and marked them using modified bird bands. We established baseline population characteristics on Camp Navajo by utilizing a 7-year mark-and-recapture data set. We also provide a measure of population status that may be compared across temporal scales within the study area. In essence, this study provides the basis for an early warning system for WNS in Arizona. © 2015 Western North American Naturalist.

With the loss and modification of natural roosting habitat afforded by caves, abandoned mines have assumed increased importance as alternative roosting sites for Townsend's big-eared bats (Corynorhinus townsendii). However, increased human safety concerns have led to accelerated abandoned mine closure programs. To protect roosting sites in mines with significant bat activity, bat-compatible gates are installed that allow continued access to mine workings. Aside from ensuring public safety, these gates provide protection from disturbance to roosting bats. We evaluated the effects of gating on bat flight behavior at maternity colonies in 2 previously gated (control) and 2 ungated (treatment) mines that were gated during this study. We used an infrared video camera to record bat flight behavior at the entrances to each of the 4 study mines for 2 consecutive mornings and a single night each month during the warm season. Entrance (03:00-06:00) and emergence (21:00-24:00) surveys comprised 3 consecutive hours. Overall circling activity increased more than 6-fold at openings of treatment mines following gating (P < 0.001). Crowding during emergence was significantly higher (P = 0.023) in newly gated mines than in previously gated mines. Gates affect subadults during the initial-volancy periods, as detected through collisions with the gates. Increased activity of bats and collisions with the gate, which result in bats falling to the ground at mine openings, may amplify vulnerability to predators and increase energetic demands. © 2014.

Building trends report offers hope
The Master Builders Association says a new report on construction trends shows promising signs for the Darling Downs.
The BIS Shrapnel report suggests the Toowoomba region will be among the top 20 construction sectors over the next few years.
The association's regional manager Tony Ryder says business has been steady for local builders but it could be better.
"Obviously been a lot happening in the Surat Basin with the civil side of things but no look, Toowoomba is I think been heavily promoted across the nation by a number of industry experts as to where we're going and I think this confirms what our expectations are for the next few years for the region," he said.

England captain Alastair Cook has admitted that his side were always struggling in the third Test match with India after a poor first day in Mohali.
Despite winning the toss, England only reached 268-8 and that gave India the platform to ease to an emphatic eight-wicket victory with over a day to spare.
After the setback, Cook had no excuses for his team's performance and admitted that England had been outplayed by their hosts.
The 31-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "To get bowled out for 280 in the first innings, we knew we were behind the eight ball. We had a little bit of a sniff at 200-6, but credit to their lower order.
"It's been a frustrating four days. Credit to India - they outplayed us. We've got a few days off to go our separate ways."
England must now win the final two Test matches to save the best-of-five series.

Brian Reed, one of the earliest CAMS licence-holders, has died.
A man of many talents, Reed was a competitor, club member, writer, broadcaster, promoter and former CAMS staff member.
He was particularly admired throughout the wider historic racing community.
In 1963, Reed was granted CAMS Licence #18 to reflect his racing number.
His first racing experience was early the following year at Calder when he drove an Elfin Clubman against Bib Stillwell's Cooper Monaco and Norm Crawfoot in a Cooper Jaguar.
CAMS chief executive Eugene Arocca paid tribute to Reed who was granted with a Certificate of Appreciation award by the national motorsport body earlier this year.
"'Brique' (nickname) was a true gentleman, and we at CAMS were incredibly lucky to have had him contribute greatly to our sport," Arocca said.
"He was a very good motor sport person, and always took the time to lend his experience for CAMS and for our sport. His legacy in historic motor racing will certainly be forever recognised.
Speedcafe.com extends its condolences to his wife Cheryl, family and friends.

Most of us are so busy in our daily lives that we often ignore the need for a good personal accountant. We are so busy with our careers that we often end up forgetting that a good accountant could actually save us a lot of money or save a lot of trouble if we make mistakes in our tax planning amongst other things. Choosing the right accountant is quite important as they will play a vital role in your financial wellbeing and future growth prospects. Some of the aspects you must look for when searching for the right person or company to handle your accounts is as follows:
1) Local knowledge: It is surprising how many people do not consider this simple but crucial aspect while choosing a personal accountant. An accounting firm could be one of the most high profile firms in another state but if their team in your own city or province does not have much experience with local laws, then you could face difficulties in dealing with them. Most provinces will have some regulations unique to its residents only. Many local governments give tax breaks to certain industries or professions. Some levy taxes higher than normal on luxuries or other goods and services. Your accountant needs to know the local laws thoroughly before they can plan your taxes. You do not want to end up paying higher taxes or worse do not pay taxes when you are actually liable to do so. Hence if you are based in a city such as Calgary, you need to make sure your personal accounting teams knows in and out of laws unique to Calgary.
2) Offers more than just accounting: Many a times we end up working with someone whose knowledge or service repertoire is confined to maintaining books of accounts. However, in reality we need much more than simply someone maintaining our accounts and advising us on how much tax we need to pay. Most of us would need serious financial planning, consulting on how to save on taxes, ability to get qualified legal advice, ability to acquire a loan or mortgage if required amongst other things.
It is best to work with an accounting firm that offers all of these services under one roof. It would make our lives much simpler if we could go back to the same place for all our financial needs. There are firms who have qualified accountants as well as lawyers, financial advisors, loan specialists and even business coaches as part of their team. Working with such a firm will definitely be more beneficial to you in the long run.
3) Integrity: Of course one of the most important aspects that you should look for in a personal accounting company is integrity. They need to have the highest quality standards and be honest with you at all times. Integrity is not just important so that you know your accounting firm is doing the best for you, they should be honest in general so that they do not advise you to do something illegal in order to save on taxes or build financial wealth. The right accounting firm would make sure you get the most out of the existing rules and regulations while always being within the purview of the law.

Write new laws as a member of the Senate.
State Representatives are part of the legislative branch of government along with State Senators. They're elected for two-year terms by voters in their city or county to represent them in a state's House of Representatives.
You see, more than a series of decorative shapes on a map, the 50 states are a lot like the apartments in an apartment building: Because they're all part of a single building, they have shared interests, property, and costs. And yet, each is its own individual unit with its own tenants who have their own space and their own expenses. Although the states are united as part of the same republic, therefore, each also has its own residents and rules — and its own government, too.
As a State Representative, you're part of that government, which, like the federal government, has three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. Once you're elected State Representative, your primary duties are to create and vote on bills that make new laws or modify and update old ones. To do that, you typically serve on committees that legislatively address issues such as education, taxes, transportation, commerce, infrastructure, and health care, just to name a few.
When you're not making laws, you're meeting with Lobbyists and special interest groups that want you to advocate on their behalf. You also raise money for your political party, campaign for election or reelection, and serve as a Spokesperson in your community, giving speeches, attending ribbon-cutting ceremonies, etc.
You're an employee of the people, and your job in a nutshell is to make life in your state better for those who live there.

Sylvana Joyce has been hypnotizing audiences along the Northeast with her drama rock – one would not expect such a grand human carnival to emanate from her petite Eastern-European exterior – that is, until the house lights dim. Sylvana's persona, a Greta Garbo meets Alice Cooper circus leader of epic proportions, gallivants and taunts the audience with her cheeky, grandiose, and expertly divined performances of her original music. Influenced by everything from Rachmaninoff to film noir, her brand of rock touches on many genres, having equally delighted audiences for soul songstress Nikka Costa, internationally touring rock-jazz trio The Aristocrats, and funk-dance Moon Hooch. Sylvana's palpable talent has also garnered major press from the likes of Huffington Post, MTV, CNN and Time Out New York, as well as an inclusion in the NBC TV show, the Jimmy Lloyd Songwriter Showcase.
Equally special and unusual are the hodge-podge of seemingly
disparate players who have come together to form her band – a
classically trained violinist, a Berklee guitarist with an affinity for
metal, a funk bassist/operatic tenor, and a jazz drummer – all with a
touch of their styles swirling in the mix. Stranger, still: with the
exception of the violinist, a childhood friend from her early days
playing chamber music in Manhattan (Sylvana is an accomplished and
conservatory trained pianist, herself), all were found on Craigslist.
The headline, "Do you want to make playing original music your day job?
Join my band."
It's that confident headline that can sum up the potential for the
group. Only six months since the band's inception, they were winning
international competitions and national coverage from MTV. Their debut
record, "For You, Comrade" received critical acclaim from Celebrity Café
and Shakefist Magazine, being toted as "one of the top ten indie
records of 2012". Having been accepted to larger festivals such as SXSW, CMJ and Musikfest, the band continues to tour, with regular performances in Boston, Asbury Park, Danbury, and Philadelphia.
Their trajectory continues as they prepare for their biggest performance yet: a live taping of their soon to be released album, "Heavyhead", with production help from indie giants Chem Creative and lighting designer Christopher Robinson (Hamilton, Les Miserables). This larger than life 70 minute production seeks to augment the natural drama of their music to cinematic (dare we say Broadway?) proportions. It seems that if you haven't already become enamored with Sylvana Joyce + The Moment, you will be, soon.

A woman who police tried to stop for an equipment violation in Bloomfield on Thursday morning is in more trouble after running from police, crashing into a fence and driving an unregistered vehicle on a suspended license, according to police.
A Bloomfield police officer tried to stop Keriann Powell, 33, of Bloomfield, on Woodland Avenue Thursday morning, but she refused to stop, police said.
Powell sped off, driving more than 85 miles per hour on a residential street, lost control and crashed into a fence at 123 Woodland Avenue, police said. It was just steps away from a house where five children were home.
After the crash, Powell tried to run, but did not get far before police apprehended her.
When police learned who the driver was, they realized that there are active arrest warrants for her out of several towns.
There is a warrant out of Bloomfield, charging her with larceny in the sixth degree, conspiracy to commit larceny in the sixth degree. Another is out of Manchester, charging her with fifth-degree larceny. Another is out of Trumbull, charging her with failure to appear on a sixth-degree larceny charge.
Powell has also been charged with failure to display registration plate, failure to bring vehicle to stop when signaled, operating an unregistered vehicle, operation while license is suspended, reckless driving and evading responsibility.
An ambulance crew responded to the scene to treat Powell, who had some minor cuts and complained of joint pain because of the crash.
She was then transported to St. Francis Hospital and has been released.
The vehicle sustained heavy damage, but no one was badly hurt.
Neighbors said cars have driven into yards in the area before and something should be done before it happens again.


text: After smoking a few other things and having them turn our better than expected, I had to try something new. I picked up 2 briskets and rubbed them down with Jeff's rub. Let them set in the fridge for 8 hrs or so and fired up the smoker. Right now she is setting on 217 deg. and holding firm. I've had the smoke going for 3 hrs and as soon as I reload the chips i'm going to grab a nap. Thanks to this handy dandy Maverick Thermometer I feel pretty safe catching a short nap. Hopefully in the early morning I'll have some tasty briskets to sample and some pics to share with you. Tom

Canadian star Catharine Pendrel and the rest of the relay team kick off the mountain bike and trials world championships Wednesday looking to get onto the podium.
Pendrel, from Kamloops, B.C., Victoria's Max Plaxton, Evan McNeely of Kingston, Ont., and Alexandre Vialle of Pevost, Que., will race in an event that has historically been good to Canada.
The country's relay team won world titles in 2001, 2002 and 2004 and took a silver medal in 2009.
Pendrel headlines Canada's mountain bike team in the five-day championship featuring over 800 athletes from 49 countries.
The 31-year-old is ranked No. 1 in women's cross-country by the world governing body of cycling (UCI). Pendrel was fourth at last year's world championship in Mont Sainte-Anne, Que.
Marie-Helene Premont of Chateau Richer, Que., joins Pendrel among medal hopefuls at the world championships. The 2004 Olympic silver medalist is ranked 10th in the world by the UCI.
The competition features cross-country, downhill, relay, four-cross and trials. In trials, riders must navigate a difficult obstacle course. Four-cross features four riders racing head-to-head down a course like the winter sport of ski cross.
The Canadian downhill team and support staff will wear yellow shoelaces in support of teammate and Vancouver native Nick Geddes, who is battling leukemia and unable to compete. Geddes, 18, finished 19th at the world championship in junior men's downhill.
"We are all thinking hard of Nick, who had to stay home to receive treatments," teammate Claire Buchar of Whistler, B.C., said in a release Tuesday. "When we take to the start gate on Sunday, Nick will be in all our minds."
Steve Smith of Cassidy, B.C., a world silver medalist in downhill last year, withdrew from the world championships because of an injury he suffered while training for the final World Cup of the season in Italy, according to the Canadian Cycling Association.
Lauren Rosser of Squamish, B.C., will attempt to defend her world title in the junior women's downhill race.

This is Anson Bay Norfolk Island and it is the prettiest and wildest tropical beach you've ever seen in your life! There are various bays and beaches on Norfolk Island that have varying levels of difficulty to reach and I'd say Anson is the easiest outside of the main stretch of coastline in Kingston. You can find Anson Bay on the west side of the island and it's a winding 15 minute meander down to the shore to a private beach. Considering that the entire island is just 35 square kilometres you would be amazed at the number of secret spots you can find! @Norfolk.Island #NorfolkIsland

Physics and Measurement
1.1 Standards of Length, Mass, and Time.
1.2 Matter and Model Building.
1.3 Density and Atomic Mass.
1.4 Dimensional Analysis.
1.5 Conversion of Units.
1.6 Estimates and Order-of-Magnitude
1.7 Significant Figures.
1.1 Standards of Length, Mass, and Time.
In 1960, an international committee established a set of standards for the fundamental quantities of science. It is called the SI (Système International), and its units of length, mass, and time are the meter, kilogram, and second, respectively. Other SI standards established by the committee are those for temperature (the kelvin), electric current (theampere), luminous intensity (the candela), and the amount of substance (the mole).
As recently as 1960, the length of the meter was defined as the distance between two lines on a specific platinum–iridium bar stored under controlled conditions in France. This standard was abandoned for several reasons, a principal one being that the limited accuracy with which the separation between the lines on the bar can be determined does not meet the current requirements of science and technology. In the 1960s and 1970s, the meter was defined as 1 650 763.73 wavelengths of orange-red light emitted from a krypton-86 lamp. However, in October 1983, the meter (m) was redefined as the distance traveled by light in vacuum during a time of 1/299 792458 second.
The SI unit of mass, the kilogram (kg), is defined as the mass of a specific platinum–iridium alloy cylinder kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures at Sèvres, France. This mass standard was established in 1887 and has not been changed since that time because platinum–iridium is an unusually stable alloy. A duplicate of the Sèvres cylinder is kept at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
In 1967, the second was redefined to take advantage of the high precision attainablein a device known as an atomic clock (Fig. 1.1b), which uses the characteristic frequencyof the cesium-133 atom as the "reference clock." The second (s) is now defined as 9 192 631770 times the period of vibration of radiation from the cesium atom.
(a) (b)
Figure 1.1 (a) The National Standard Kilogram No. 20, an accurate copy of the
International Standard Kilogram kept at Sèvres, France, is housed under a double bell jar in a vault at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. (b) The nation's primary time standard is a cesium fountain atomic clock developed at the National Institute of Standards
and Technology laboratories in Boulder, Colorado. The clock will neither gain nor lose a second in 20 million years.\
1.2 MATTER and MODEL BUILDING
Quark have 6 different varieties:
1. up(+2/3)
a.Proton=2 up+1down=2(+1/3)+(-1/3)=+1
1.3 Density&atomic mass
Density p of any substance is defined as its mass per unit volume:
The numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of an element are related to the atomic mass of the element, which is defined as the mass of a single atom of the element measured in atomic mass unit. Atomic Mass = proton+neutron
*Quick quiz 1.1
In a machine shop, two cams are produced, one of aluminum and one of iron. Both cams have the same mass. Which cam is larger?
(a) The aluminum cam
(b) the iron cam
(c) Both cams have the same size.
ANSWER: (a). Because the density of aluminum is smaller than that of iron, a larger volume of aluminum is required for a given mass than iron.
1.4 Dimensional Analysis
For example, the symbol we use for speed in this book is v, and in our notation the dimensions of speed are written [v]=L/T. As another example, the dimensions of area A are [A]=L2
*Quick quiz 1.2
True or False: Dimensional analysis can give you the numerical value of constants of proportionality that may appear in an algebraic expression.
ANSWER: False. Dimensional analysis gives the units of the proportionality constant but provides no information about its numerical value. To determine its numerical value requires either experimental data or geometrical reasoning.
1.5 Conversion of Units.
Sometimes it is necessary to convert units from one measurement system to another, or to convert within a system, for example, from kilometers to meters. Equalities between SI and U.S. customary units of length are as follows:
1 mile = 1 609 m = 1.609 km 1 ft = 0.304 8 m = 30.48 cm
1 m = 39.37 in. = 3.281 ft 1 in. = 0.025 4 m = 2.54 cm (exactly)
*Quick Quiz 1.3
The distance between two cities is 100 mi. The number of kilometers between the two cities is
(a) smaller than 100
(b) larger than 100
(c) equal to 100.
ANSWER: (b). Because kilometers are shorter than miles, a larger number of kilometers is required for a given distance than miles.
1.6 Estimates and Order-of Magnitude Calculations
It is often useful to compute an approximate answer to a given physical problem even when little information is available. This answer can then be used to determine whether or not a more precise calculation is necessary.
Such an approximation is usually based on certain assumptions, which must be modified if greater precision is needed. We will sometimes refer to an order of magnitude of a certain quantity as the power of ten of the number that describes that quantity. Usually, when an order-of magnitude calculation is made, the results are reliable to within about a factor of 10. If a quantity increases in value by three orders of magnitude, this means that its value increases by a factor of about 103 = 1 000. We use the symbol ~ for "is on the order of."
Thus, 0.008 6 ~ 10-2 0.002 1 ~ 10-3 720 ~ 103
1.7 Significant Figures
The number of significant figures in a measurement can be used to express something about the uncertainty. For example, if we wish to compute 123 + 5.35, the answer is 128 and not 128.35. If we compute the sum 1.000 1 + 0.000 3 = 1.000 4, the result has five significant figures, even though one of the terms in the sum, 0.000 3, has only one significant figure. Likewise, if we perform the subtraction 1.002 - 0.998 = 0.004, the result has only one significant figure even though one term has four significant figures and the other has three. In this book, most of the numerical examples and end-of-chapter problems will yield answers having three significant figures. When carrying out estimates we shall typically work with a single significant figure.
*Quick Quiz 1.4
Suppose you measure the position of a chair with a meter stick and record that the center of the seat is 1.043 860 564 2 m from a wall. What would a reader conclude from this recorded measurement?
ANSWER : Reporting all these digits implies you have determined the location of the center of the chair's seat to the nearest *0.000 000 000 1 m. This roughly corresponds to being able to count the atoms in your meter stick because each of them is about that size! It would be better to record the measurement as 1.044 m: this indicates that you know the position to the nearest millimeter, assuming the meter stick has millimeter markings on its scale.
