Testilying: Where perjury goes unpunished
There is a joke that criminal defense lawyers sometimes tell when they talk about cases like those cited above. It goes something like this "Q: How can you tell when a cop is lying A: You see his lips move." Cynical? Yes. But like all jokes there is a grain of truth to it. The fact is that police perjury, or testilying, is a reality that supports a bigger lie, That a trial is a search for the truth. It can't be unless all of the witnesses do in fact tell, at least their version, of the truth.
What bothers me most is not the idea that police lie. No group: police, lawyers, judges, politicians, is immune from having bad apples. What bothers me is the level of toleration for such behavior if it comes from a person or group that is supposed to uphold the law.
I once had a trial with a very good Assistant District Attorney. A real straight shooter if ever I met one. We both agreed after the trial (which I miraculously had won) at least two of the police witnesses had lied. I asked my friend what he would do. He shrugged and said he was going to report it to a superior in his office who would let it drop. I asked why they would not prosecute what I saw as a clearly important case of wrongdoing. The reply astounded me and to this day disappoints me. My friend said " If we were to go after these guys, Win lose or draw we get trouble. We give defense attorney's fodder for their cannons and we may lose a bunch of important prosecutions of drug and mob guys." He continued, "their friends and the rest of the patrol, rather than see us as watchdogs will see us as soft on crime. They think of us as a team and when you turn against one of them you are the enemy of all of them. Our office cannot afford an adversarial relationship with the police." So why report it at all? "Well next time they come in with a case I will not have to handle it." This of course reminded me of Pontius Pilot who "washed his hands" of his deeds. Sure that police officer is no longer your concern but...
People ask me all the time how I can represent those people who are guilty of crimes against others. I guess it is because more than anything I have come to realize that the worst crime I can think of is convicting someone who is innocent, especially because someone wanted to profit, advance their career or do something else other than solve a crime by arresting and reforming the wrongdoer for their action. When we stand quiet for such behavior we too become a part of it, we are complicit in its wrongdoing. I have always felt that a crime by someone against someone else is not as bad as a crime committed in all our names against any one or more of us.
The political realities of a prosecutor's office are such that I do not think they are the one's to bring this type of behavior to for punishment. Rather I think there should be a special prosecutor appointed by the courts to oversee police and government corruption and perjury. There should be laws that force compensation from the wrongdoer's pension to the person who has been wronged ( after all the people of the state should not have to pay twice, once for the wrongdoers salary and once again because he fails to do his job) and there should be a further requirement that any other compensation above and beyond that given from the pension fund be reduced from the budget of the police department and prosecutor's office that permitted the atmosphere of corruption to exist. That might curb testilying. May not cure it but if it stops just one innocent person from being set up by a cop or prosecutor, it will have been worth it. Maybe then we can believe that a trial is in fact the search for the truth and be closer to most of our definition of justice.

I am about to get convicted on a misdemeanor controlled substance charge. The charges stem from a traffic stop that was actually more of a nazi terrorist action. The cop lied about almost everything, including what he saw that gave him RS for the stop , and about an other officer being present. I can prove with material evidence that the cop lied about both these items and I have a witness that can testify to other lies and or omissions from the officers report. I am in utter dibelief that I can not get the public defender to even consider attacking the cops credibility or reporting his perjury under oath. My first PD almost did at a suppression hearing but chickened out at the last minute and the motion was lost , when I complained to one of the supervising attorneys , he suggested I file a motion to fire my attorney which I was going to do , but she was suddenly transfered to somwhere ? Her replacement didnt show up for the pre trial but someone from the PD' s office was there . She became indignant towards me when I brought up the officers testermony and was no help. I am convinced that the Public Defender has no intention of trying to help me at all . I am disgusted with the sttorneys from the Public Defender they waqnt me to plead guilty , and take diversion , when I have a solid case for dissmissal on the grounds of false testemony , illegal search and seizure and other acts of misconduct on behalf of the police officer. As far as I am concerned the Public Defender is guilty of a far more serious crime than I am and is going to facilitate a conviction for the prosecution based on lies and deceipt. How in the world am I supposed to be proud that I am an american when our society is crumbling due to the corruption of government and the rendering of our constitution to be a false representation of what america is all about, I am an American Citizen but I am far from being proud of that I am actually afraid
of those who are supposed to be looking out for me, the worthles slimey traitors from the Public Defenders Office. - AnonymousMon Oct 02, 07:20:00 PM EDT
It is more rampant than I thought. I had an identity theft happen to me. A charge was brougnt against me, but I did not fight it because I was offered a conditional discharge. However, I read the "report" --which said I had "admitted to.." when nothing could have been further from the truth. I served out the period of conditional discharge, but I am relegated to "second-class citizenship" even though the two-year period for this charge expired. In essence, the detective lied in his report, so I am asking for a copy of my "handwritten statement" I sure would like to know more about this "testilying!"

A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener. Before being installed a rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The end opposite the head is called the buck-tail. On installation the rivet is placed in a punched or drilled hole, and the tail is upset, or bucked (i.e., deformed), so that it expands to about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter, holding the rivet in place. To distinguish between the two ends of the rivet, the original head is called the factory head and the deformed end is called the shop head or buck-tail.
Because there is effectively a head on each end of an installed rivet, it can support tension loads (loads parallel to the axis of the shaft); however, it is much more capable of supporting shear loads (loads perpendicular to the axis of the shaft). Bolts and screws are better suited for tension applications.
Fastenings used in traditional wooden boat building, like copper nails and clinch bolts, work on the same principle as the rivet but were in use long before the term rivet came about and, where they are remembered, are usually classified among the nails and bolts respectively.
Contents |
Types [edit]
There are a number of types of rivets, designed to meet different cost, accessibility, and strength requirements:
Solid/round head rivets [edit]
Solid rivets are one of the oldest and most reliable types of fasteners, having been found in archaeological findings dating back to the Bronze Age. Solid rivets consist simply of a shaft and head that are deformed with a hammer or rivet gun. A rivet compression or crimping tool can also deform this type of rivet. This tool is mainly used on rivets close to the edge of the fastened material, since the tool is limited by the depth of its frame. A rivet compression tool does not require two people, and is generally the most foolproof way to install solid rivets.
Solid rivets are used in applications where reliability and safety count. A typical application for solid rivets can be found within the structural parts of aircraft. Hundreds of thousands of solid rivets are used to assemble the frame of a modern aircraft. Such rivets come with rounded (universal) or 100° countersunk heads. Typical materials for aircraft rivets are aluminium alloys (2017, 2024, 2117, 7050, 5056, 55000, V-65), titanium, and nickel-based alloys (e.g., Monel). Some aluminum alloy rivets are too hard to buck and must be softened by annealing prior to being bucked. "Ice box" aluminum alloy rivets harden with age, and must likewise be annealed and then kept at sub-freezing temperatures (hence the name "ice box") to slow the age-hardening process. Steel rivets can be found in static structures such as bridges, cranes, and building frames.
The setting of these fasteners requires access to both sides of a structure. Solid rivets are driven using a hydraulically, pneumatically, or electromagnetically driven squeezing tool or even a handheld hammer. Applications where only one side is accessible require blind rivets.
High-strength structural steel rivets [edit]
Until relatively recently, structural steel connections were either welded or riveted. High-strength bolts have largely replaced structural steel rivets. Indeed, the latest steel construction specifications published by AISC (the 14th Edition) no longer covers their installation. The reason for the change is primarily due to the expense of skilled workers required to install high strength structural steel rivets. Whereas two relatively unskilled workers can install and tighten high strength bolts, it takes a minimum of four highly skilled riveters to install rivets in one joint at a time.[citation needed]
At a central location near the areas being riveted, a furnace was set up. Rivets were placed in the furnace and heated to a glowing hot temperature. The Rivet warmer or heater used tongs to individually remove rivets and throw them to a catcher stationed near the joints to be riveted. The catcher usually caught the rivet in a leather bucket with an ash lined bottom then placed the glowing hot rivet into the hole to be riveted, and quickly turned around to await the next rivet. The "Holder up or holder on" would then hold a heavy rivet set or dolly" or another (larger) pnuematic hammer against the round head of the rivet, while the Riveter (or sometimes two riveters)applied a pneumatic rivet hammer to the unformed head, making it mushroom tightly against the joint in its final domed shape. Upon cooling, the rivet contracted and exerted further force, tightening the joint.
The last commonly used high strength structural steel rivets were designated ASTM A502 Grade 1 rivets.[1]
Such riveted structures may be insufficient to resist seismic loading from earthquakes if the structure was not engineered for such forces, a common problem of older steel bridges. This is due to the fact that a hot rivet cannot be properly heat treated to add strength and hardness. In the seismic retrofit of such structures it is common practice to remove critical rivets with an oxygen torch, precision ream the hole, and then insert a machined and heat treated bolt.
Semi-tubular rivets [edit]
Semi-tubular rivets (also known as tubular rivets) are similar to solid rivets, except they have a partial hole (opposite the head) at the tip. The purpose of this hole is to reduce the amount of force needed for application by rolling the tubular portion outward. The force needed to apply a semitubular rivet is about 1/4 of the amount needed to apply a solid rivet. Tubular rivets can also be used as pivot points (a joint where movement is preferred) since the swelling of the rivet is only at the tail. Solid rivets expand radially and generally fill the hole limiting movement. The type of equipment used to apply semi-tubular rivets range from prototyping tools (less than $50) to fully automated systems. Typical installation tools (from lowest to highest price) are hand set, manual squeezer, pneumatic squeezer, kick press, impact riveter, and finally PLC-controlled robotics. The most common machine is the impact riveter and the most common use of semitubular rivets is in lighting, brakes, ladders, binders, HVAC duct work, mechanical products, and electronics. They are offered from 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) to 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) in diameter (other sizes are considered highly special) and can be up to 8 inches (203 mm) long. A wide variety of materials and platings are available, most common base metals are steel, brass, copper, stainless, aluminum and most common platings are zinc, nickel, brass, tin. Tubular rivets are normally waxed to facilitate proper assembly. An installed tubular rivet has a head on one side, with a rolled over and exposed shallow blind hole on the other. Semi-tubular rivets are the fastest way to rivet in mass production, but require capital investment.
Blind rivets [edit]
Blind rivets, commonly referred to as pop rivets (POP was a brand name of the original blind rivet manufacturer, now owned by Emhart Teknologies) are tubular and are supplied with a mandrel through the center. The rivet assembly is inserted into a hole drilled through the parts to be joined and a specially designed tool is used to draw the mandrel into the rivet. This expands the blind end of the rivet and then the mandrel snaps off. These types of blind rivets have non-locking mandrels and are sometimes avoided for critical structural joints because the mandrels may fall out, due to vibration or other reasons, leaving a hollow rivet that has a significantly lower load carrying capability than solid rivets. Furthermore, because of the mandrel they are more prone to failure from corrosion and vibration. Unlike solid rivets, blind rivets can be inserted and fully installed in a joint from only one side of a part or structure, "blind" to the opposite side.[2]
Prior to the adoption of blind rivets, installation of a solid rivet typically required access to both sides of the assembly: a rivet hammer on one side and a bucking bar on the other side. In 1916 Royal Navy reservist and engineer Hamilton Neil Wylie filed a patent for an "improved means of closing tubular rivets" (granted May 1917).[3] In 1922 Wylie joined the British aircraft manufacturer Armstrong-Whitworth Ltd to advise on metal construction techniques; here he continued to develop his rivet design with a further 1927 patent[4] that incorporated the pull through mandrel, and allowed the rivet to be used blind. By 1928, the George Tucker Eyelet company produced a 'cup' rivet based on the design. It required a separate GKN mandrel and the rivet body to be hand assembled prior to use for the building of the Siskin III aircraft. Together with Armstrong-Whitworth, the Geo. Tucker Co. further modified the rivet design to produce a one piece unit incorporating mandrel and rivet.[5] This product was later developed in Aluminium and trademarked as the 'POP' rivet. The United Shoe Machinery Co. produced the design in the US as inventors such as Carl Cherry and Lou Huck experimented with other techniques for expanding solid rivets.
Due to this feature, blind rivets are mainly used when access to the joint is only available from one side. The rivet is placed in a drilled hole and is set by pulling the mandrel head into the rivet body, expanding the rivet body and causing it to flare against the reverse side. As the head of the mandrel reaches the face of the blind side material, the pulling force is resisted, and at a predetermined force, the mandrel snaps at its break point, also called blind setting. A tight joint formed by the rivet body remains, the head of the mandrel remains encapsulated at the blind side, although variations of this are available, and the mandrel stem is ejected.
They are available in flat head, countersunk head, and modified flush head with standard diameters of 1/8, 5/32 and 3/16 inch. Blind rivets are made from soft aluminum alloy, steel (including stainless steel), copper, and Monel.
There are also structural blind rivets, which are designed to take shear and tensile loads.[6]
The rivet body is normally manufactured using one of three methods:
Name | Description |
Wire | the most common method |
Tube | common in longer lengths, not normally as strong as wire |
Sheet | least popular and generally the weakest option |
There is a vast array of specialty blind rivets that are suited for high strength or plastic applications. Typical types include:
Name | Description |
TriFold | a rivet that splits into three equal legs like a molly bolt. Typically used in soft plastics where a wide footprint is needed at the rear surface. Used in automotive interiors and vinyl fences. (See Oscar rivets.) |
Structural rivet(a) | an "external" mechanically locked structural blind rivet that is used where a watertight, vibration resistant connection is of importance. Typically used in manufacture or repair of truck bodies. A special nose piece is required to apply this rivet. |
Structural rivet(b) | an "internal" mechanically locked structural blind rivet that is used where a watertight, vibration resistant connection is of importance. Typically used in manufacture or repair of truck bodies. |
Internally and externally locked structural blind rivets can be used in aircraft applications because, unlike other types of blind rivets, the locked mandrels cannot fall out and are water tight. Since the mandrel is locked into place they have the same or greater load carrying capacity as solid rivets and may be used to replace solid rivets on all but the most critical stressed aircraft structures.
The typical assembly process requires the operator to install the rivet in the nose of the tool by hand then actuate the tool. However, in recent years automated riveting systems have become popular in an effort to reduce assembly costs and repetitive disorders. The cost of such tools range from US$1,500 for autofeed pneumatics to US$50,000 for fully robotic systems.
Oscar rivets [edit]
Oscar rivets are similar to blind rivets in appearance and installation, but have splits (typically three) along the hollow shaft. These splits cause the shaft to fold and flare out (similar to the wings on a toggle bolt's nut) as the mandrel is drawn into the rivet. This flare (or flange) provides a wide bearing surface that reduces the chance of rivet pull-out. This design is ideal for high vibration applications where the back surface is inaccessible.
Drive rivet [edit]
A drive rivet is a form of blind rivet that has a short mandrel protruding from the head that is driven in with a hammer to flare out the end inserted in the hole. This is commonly used to rivet wood panels into place since the hole does not need to be drilled all the way through the panel, producing an aesthetically pleasing appearance. They can also be used with plastic, metal, and other materials and require no special setting tool other than a hammer and possibly a backing block (steel or some other dense material) placed behind the location of the rivet while hammering it into place. Drive rivets have less clamping force than most other rivets. Drive screws, possibly another name for drive rivets, are commonly used to hold nameplates into blind holes. They typically have spiral threads that grip the side of the hole. [7]
Flush rivet [edit]
A flush rivet is used primarily on external metal surfaces where good appearance and the elimination of unnecessary aerodynamic drag are important. A flush rivet takes advantage of a countersink hole; they are also commonly referred to as countersunk rivets. Countersunk or flush rivets are used extensively on the exterior of aircraft for aerodynamic reasons. Additional post-installation machining may be performed to perfect the airflow.
Friction-lock rivet [edit]
One early form of blind rivet that was the first to be widely used for aircraft construction and repair was the Cherry friction-lock rivet. Originally, Cherry friction-locks were available in two styles, hollow shank pull-through and self-plugging types. The pull-through type is no longer common, however, the self -plugging Cherry friction-lock rivet is still used for repairing light aircraft.
Cherry friction-lock rivets are available in two head styles, universal and 100 degree countersunk. Furthermore, they are usually supplied in three standard diameters, 1/8, 5/32 and 3/16 inch.
A friction-lock rivet cannot replace a solid shank rivet, size for size. When a friction-lock is used to replace a solid shank rivet, it must be at least one size larger in diameter because the friction-lock rivet loses considerable strength if its center stem falls out due to vibrations or damage.
Rivet alloys, shear strengths, and driving condition [edit]

Self-pierce rivets [edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (July 2009) |
Self-pierce riveting (SPR) is a process of joining two or more materials using an engineered rivet. Unlike solid, blind and semi-tubular rivets, self-pierce rivets do not require a drilled or punched hole.
SPRs are cold forged to a semi-tubular shape and contain a partial hole to the opposite end of the head. The end geometry of the rivet has a chamfered poke that helps the rivet pierce the materials being joined, a hydraulic or electric servo rivet setter drives the rivet into the material, and an upsetting die provides a cavity for the displaced bottom sheet material to flow.
The self-pierce rivet fully pierces the top sheet material(s) but only partially pierces the bottom sheet. As the tail end of the rivet does not break through the bottom sheet it provides a water or gas tight joint. With the influence of the upsetting die, the tail end of the rivet flares and interlocks into the bottom sheet forming a low profile button.
Rivets need to be harder than the materials being joined, they are heat treated to various levels of hardness depending on the materials ductility and hardness. Rivets come in a range of diameters and lengths depending on the materials being joined, head styles are either flush countersunk or pan heads.
Depending on the rivet setter configuration, i.e. hydraulic, servo, stroke, nose-to-die gap, feed system etc., cycle times can be as quick as one second. Rivets are typically fed to the rivet setter nose from tape and come in cassette or spool form for continuous production.
Riveting systems can be manual or automated depending on the application requirements; all systems are very flexible in terms of product design and ease of integration into a manufacturing process.
SPR joins a range of dissimilar materials such as steel, aluminum, plastics, composites and pre-coated or pre-painted materials. Benefits include low energy demands, no heat, fumes, sparks or waste and very repeatable quality.
Sizes [edit]
The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (September 2010) |
Rivet diameters are commonly measured in 1⁄32-inch increments[8] and their lengths in 1⁄16-inch increments, expressed as "dash numbers" at the end of the rivet identification number. A "dash 3 dash 4" (XXXXXX-3-4) designation indicates a 3⁄32-inch diameter and 4⁄16-inch (or 1⁄4-inch) length. Some rivets lengths are also available in half sizes, and have a dash number such as –3.5 (7⁄32 inch) to indicate they are half-size. The letters and digits in a rivet's identification number that precede its dash numbers indicate the specification under which the rivet was manufactured and the head style. On many rivets, a size in 32nds may be stamped on the rivet head. Other makings on the rivet head, such as small raised or depressed dimples or small raised bars indicate the rivet's alloy.
To become a proper fastener, a rivet should be placed in hole ideally 4–6 thousandths of an inch larger in diameter. This allows the rivet to be easily and fully inserted, then setting allows the rivet to expand, tightly filling the gap and maximizing strength.
Applications [edit]
Before welding techniques and bolted joints were developed, metal framed buildings and structures such as the Eiffel Tower, Shukhov Tower and the Sydney Harbour Bridge were generally held together by riveting. Also automobile chassis were riveted. Riveting is still widely used in applications where light weight and high strength are critical, such as in an aircraft. Many sheet-metal alloys are preferably not welded as deformation and modification of material properties can occur.
Blind rivets are used almost universally in the construction of plywood road cases.
Common but more exotic uses of rivets are to reinforce jeans and to produce the distinctive sound of a sizzle cymbal.
Joint analysis [edit]
The stress and shear in a rivet is analyzed like a bolted joint. However, it is not wise to combine rivets with bolts and screws in the same joint. Rivets fill the hole where they are installed to establish a very tight fit (often called interference fit). It is difficult or impossible to obtain such a tight fit with other fasteners. The result is that rivets in the same joint with loose fasteners carry more of the load—they are effectively more stiff. The rivet can then fail before it can redistribute load to the other loose fit fasteners like bolts and screws. This often causes catastrophic failure of the joint when the fasteners unzip. In general, a joint composed of similar fasteners is the most efficient because all fasteners reach capacity simultaneously.
Installation [edit]
Solid & semi tubular rivets [edit]
There are several methods for installing solid rivets.
- Manual with hammer and handset or bucking bar
- Pneumatic hammers
- Handheld squeezers
- Riveting machines
- Pin hammer, rivet set
Rivets small enough and soft enough are often bucked.[9] In this process the installer places a rivet gun against the factory head and holds a bucking bar against the tail or a hard working surface. The bucking bar is a specially shaped solid block of metal. The rivet gun provides a series of high-impulse forces that upsets and work hardens the tail of the rivet between the work and the inertia of the bucking bar. Rivets that are large or hard may be more easily installed by squeezing instead. In this process a tool in contact with each end of the rivet clinches to deform the rivet.
Rivets may also be upset by hand, using a ball-peen hammer. The head is placed in a special hole made to accommodate it, known as a rivet-set. The hammer is applied to the buck-tail of the rivet, rolling an edge so that it is flush against the material.
Testing [edit]
Solid rivets for construction [edit]
A hammer is also used to "ring" an installed rivet, as a non-destructive test for tightness and imperfections. The inspector taps the head (usually the factory head) of the rivet with the hammer while touching the rivet and base plate lightly with the other hand and judges the quality of the audibly returned sound and the feel of the sound traveling through the metal to the operator's fingers. A rivet tightly set in its hole returns a clean and clear ring, while a loose rivet produces a recognizably different sound.
Testing of blind rivets [edit]
A blind rivet has strength properties that can be measured in terms of shear and tensile strength. Occasionally rivets also undergo performance testing for other critical features, such as pushout force, break load and salt spray resistance. A standardized destructive test according to the Inch Fastener Standards is widely accepted[10][11]
The shear test involves installing a rivet into two plates at specified hardness and thickness and measuring the force necessary to shear the plates. The tensile test is basically the same, except that it measures the pullout strength. Per the IFI-135 standard, all blind rivets produced must meet this standard. These tests determine the strength of the rivet, and not the strength of the assembly. To determine the strength of the assembly a user must consult an engineering guide or the Machinery's Handbook[12]

I love this recipe! I have made it several times and it is easy as well as delicious. The hardest part is picking the berries. I always use old fashioned oats because that is what I buy and it works just fine. I have multiplied the recipe and taken it to events and it is always a big hit. The ice cream is optional because the crisp is wonderful all by itself. Make it! Just do it!

I was looking for a crisp recipe to use some fresh blackberries and came across this. I looked at my blackberries and saw they had gone bad so I used a combination of frozen blackberries, a Dole berry blend with strawberries and blueberries, and some fresh blueberries (about 3 c. of fruit). Then I used one plus a half of the amounts of all the ingredients and a little extra cornstarch and lemon juice. It turned out awesome!

Scientific Name: | Falco araea | |||||||||

Justification: This species is listed as Vulnerable because it has a very small population and range and there have been recent declines in one subpopulation. It was far more widespread in the nineteenth century, with birds frequently seen on most islands. This range contraction may have resulted from widespread persecution in the past. |
History: |
Range Description: |
Falco araea is found on the granitic islands of the Seychelles, with a total of c.420-430 pairs in 2008, the majority on Mahé (plus a few on its satellite island, Watson 2000a, Pandolfi and Barilari 2009), 40-50 pairs on Silhouette, and a few pairs on Praslin and Ile du Nord. There are frequent records from La Digue but no recent evidence of breeding (N.J. Shah and S. Parr in litt. 1999, A. Skerrett in litt. 1999). At least one pair has also been heard on Félicité (Shah and Parr in prep.). Considerable development and habitat alteration have taken place on Mahé since 2002, suggesting that a population increase since then is unlikely, and that a decline could have occurred (N. Doak in litt. 2007). Genetic analysis suggests that the global population underwent a crash some time between 1940 and the early 1970s, and at one time numbered as few as eight (3.5-22) individuals, which is compatible with claims that there were fewer than 30 birds on Mahé during the 1960s (Groombridge et al. 2009). |
Countries: | Native: Seychelles |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | A combination of survey results and records (S. Parr in litt. 1999) can be used to deduce a total population of at least 800 individuals, roughly equivalent to 530 mature individuals. |
Population Trend: | Stable |
Habitat and Ecology: | It inhabits native, evergreen, upland forests, but is now found in secondary rainforest and coconut plantations on Mahé. It hunts indigenous lizards (mainly geckos Phelsuma spp.) (G. Rocamora in litt. 2007), insects, small birds and mice (Watson 1981, Watson 1992). Nesting is predominantly on cliffs above 200 m, and less successfully - probably due to predation (Watson 1992) -at lower elevations on buildings, in holes in trees and in old Common Myna Acridotheres tristis nests (Loustau-Lalanne 1962). Small territories are occupied year-round, but only one brood is reared per year (Watson 2000a). |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Major Threat(s): | Reduced numbers in the 1960s and 1970s may have been due to pesticide use or to peaks in commercial cinnamon cultivation and logging, which reduced upland forest to its lowest extent at this time (N.J. Shah and S. Parr in litt. 1999). Introduced nest predators, nest-site competitors and food competitors may be an ongoing threat (Loustau-Lalanne 1962, Watson 1992, A. Skerrett in litt. 1999). Housing development could be a threat (Rocamora 1997a), although the species breeds in urban areas (N.J. Shah and S. Parr in litt. 1999). Fires, and possibly housing developments and alien predators, have nearly halved its population on Praslin in 10 years (S. Parr in litt. 1999, Millett et al. 2003). |
Conservation Actions: |
Conservation Actions Underway CITES Appendix I and II. The Morne Seychellois National Park on Mahé covers almost 25% of the island and provides a safe refuge (N.J. Shah and S. Parr in litt. 1999). The species was reintroduced to Praslin in 1977 (Watson 1981). Nature Seychelles is presently introducing predator-proof nest boxes on Praslin and initiating awareness campaigns through the Wildlife Clubs of Seychelles (Millett et al. 2003). Conservation Actions Proposed Research factors influencing its density (N.J. Shah and S. Parr in litt. 1999) and population dynamics (Rocamora 1997a). Investigate the effect of urbanisation (Rocamora 1997a). Continue nest protection and awareness campaign on Praslin (Millett et al. 2003). Continue habitat protection on Mahé (Rocamora 1997a), possibly through extension of the Morne Seychellois National Park (G. Rocamora in litt. 1999). Control Barn Owls Tyto alba and rats around nesting sites on Praslin (Rocamora 1997a). Ensure no return to widespread pesticide use (N.J. Shah and S. Parr in litt. 1999). Assess translocation possibilities (R. Lucking in litt. 1999). Raise public awareness of the species's value, and the need to protect nest-sites in buildings; particularly on Praslin (Rocamora 1997a, N.J. Shah and S. Parr in litt. 1999, Millett et al. 2003). Resume long term monitoring (G. Rocamora in litt. 2007). |

Alvin Gentry out as Phoenix Suns coach
Head coach Alvin Gentry of the Phoenix Suns during the NBA game against the Denver Nuggets at US Airways Center on November 12, 2012 in Phoenix, Arizona. / Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images
PHOENIX The Phoenix Suns say the team and coach Alvin Gentry have "mutually agreed to part ways."
Gentry had coached the Suns since replacing the fired Terry Porter at the All-Star break of the 2008-09 season, compiling a 158-144 record. His 2010 squad, led by Steve Nash, went 54-28 and advanced to the Western Conference finals.
But Nash left and the team underwent what has been a disastrous rebuilding effort. The Suns have lost 13 of 15 and four straight at home. Their 98-94 loss to Milwaukee on Thursday night snapped the Bucks' 24-game losing streak in Phoenix.
The Suns' 13-28 record is the worst in the Western Conference and fourth-worst in the NBA. Only Cleveland, Charlotte and Washington are worse.
The Suns said in a news release that an interim coach would be named within the next 24 to 48 hours.
Gentry, who was in the final year of his contract, has been in coaching for three decades, including stints as head coach of the Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers and Miami Heat.
He came to the Suns as an assistant to then-coach Mike D'Antoni, then stayed on the staff of new coach Terry Porter when D'Antoni left for the New York Knicks. After Porter was fired, Gentry was named interim head coach, immediately restoring the up-tempo style that D'Antoni had championed.
Phoenix, under the ownership of Robert Sarver, never recovered when power forward Amar'e Stoudemire turned down a deal to return to the Suns and left for the Knicks.
"The front office certainly didn't give Gentry much consistency in the roster this season and really not in any season in which he coached the team," says CBSSports.com's Zach Harper.
When Nash became a free agent after last season and, in a mutual decision with the Suns management, signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix blew up its roster under the leadership of Lon Babby, vice president of basketball operations, and general manager Lance Blanks.
The rebuilt team lacked a go-to scorer and struggled with depth as Gentry continuously tried new lineups. He had said recently that the team, with the season obviously headed south, might simply turn to its younger players and look to the future.
Meanwhile, crowds at the once boisterous US Airways Center have grown meager.
The Suns don't play again until Wednesday, when they face the Kings in Sacramento.

There is no question: In an environment where molten metal is present, very real and dangerous fire hazards exist — hazards that can lead to severe injury or death. While the risks for such hazards are always present, the results should one occur can be dramatically different, depending upon the fire protection and suppression systems in use. That's why you owe it to yourself — and your personnel — to learn more about GSL's products.
Exceeding industry standards, GSL's products are proven more effective.

The Panthers have lost four in a row, and with another tough matchup on deck, things aren't going to get any easier.
After losing four in a row and compiling a 4-11 record in conference, it's going to take a miracle to get Pitt into the NCAA Tournament. But the Panthers can do their best to worm their way toward something like respectability by beating No. 17 Louisville (21-7, 9-6 Big East) at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday on the road.
Louisville has played a tough schedule this season, and three of its losses have come against top-10 teams, including No. 1 Kentucky and No. 2 Syracuse. The Cardinals are coming off a four-point loss to Cincinnati. They beat the Panthers 73-62 in late January.
Not that Pitt fans are likely to be overly concerned about it, but here are the full Big East standings heading into Sunday's matchup. The Panthers are ranked No. 13 in the conference.
Syracuse 16-1 29-1
Marquette 13-3 24-5
Notre Dame 12-4 20-9
Georgetown 11-5 21-6
Cincinnati 10-5 20-8
South Florida 10-5 17-11
Louisville 9-6 21-7
Seton Hall 8-9 19-10
Connecticut 7-9 17-11

This undated image released by Avalon Waterways shows swans and ducks wading across from the river ship Avalon Felicity on the Rhine River in Breisach, Germany. The small scale of river ships, which typically carry no more than a couple hundred passengers, is a large part of their appeal, in contrast to ocean-going mega-ships that carry thousands. On a river ship, you donít need a GPS device to figure out where the lobby or the dining room is. And thereís a sense of intimacy, with plenty of cozy moments.
I've been a land-based traveler for most of my life. Motor coaches and cars have helped me explore everything from Italy's Tuscany region to Ireland's Rings of Kerry. But recently I discovered a love for river cruising.

A Budget that is austere would defy India's history
* A Standard Chartered analysis shows that since the 1990s, spending invariably rises in the two years leading up to a general election.
* For example, the government during 1991-96 cut average real expenditure by an annualised 4 percent in the first two years of its term, but raised it by 3.6 percent in the final three years, Stanchart says.
* The trajectory was similar for the governments in power from 1999-2004 (2.8 percent versus 9.0 percent) and 2004-09 (-1.9 percent versus 14 percent), the lender says.
* The biggest welfare move expected in the current budget is the food security bill, which will likely raise annual food subsidies to 1.12 trillion from 750 billion rupees now, almost a 50 pct hike, Stanchart predicts, quoting government estimates.

SuporteProduct GuidesFirewallWhen under attack
This guide will show you how to use the BullGuard Firewall.
IMPORTANT! The Firewall is a very important section of any Internet Security suite, so we recommend using the guide below only if you know what you are doing, or you have received instructions from our Support Team. If you are not familiar with computers, it is recommended that you team up with a computer-wise friend, or contact our Support Team.
What is a firewall?
A firewall is a special computer application (or module within a security suite, such as BullGuard) whose purpose is to monitor and protect your computer from any unauthorised network traffic. Think of it as a guard at your door.
Why do you need a firewall?
Without a firewall, you computer is vulnerable to almost any type of network attacks and malware. We recommend using a firewall at all times you are connected to the Internet.
How can you use the firewall?
Our firewall is included within the BullGuard Internet Security suite. We recommend using this guide if you want to know more about configuring it or need to perform any changes.
Open the Firewall
First, you should open your BullGuard application. Double-click the BullGuard icon near the clock and click on the Firewall icon.
How can I find information about the person who is attacking my computer?
If you receive notifications from BullGuard that your computer is under attack, it is very important to understand these few things:
1. Remember the type of attack BullGuard informs you about.
2. If BullGuard nofies you about the attack, it also means it has been detected and blocked, and your computer has not been compromised.
3. While under attack, some applications from your computer may be blocked by the Firewall. Should the issue persist after the Firewall notification is gone, please contact our Support.
In case of an attack, BullGuard will automatically block harmful packets from reaching your computer, but it will not ban the computer behind the attack. If the attack persists, the Firewall will simply ban the IP of the attacker's PC and issue and inform you. This ban is lifted after 300 seconds by default - as valid computers may be behind that IP address.
To make sure that the attacker stays banned, you can manually block that IP address. Set the Firewall on Advanced, go into the Logs tab and look up the entries of the attack. When you find that specific even, right-click it and choose Ban remote host and a specific time for the ban effect.
Here is what you need to do if you want to know more about an attack:
1. Export (dump) the Firewall rules onto your Desktop. Follow this guide for the exact procedure:
I want to monitor, use and control my Firewall logs
2. If possible, take a screenshot of the attack notification you receive from BullGuard. Here is a quick guide for making screenshots:
a) Be sure to have the image you want to capture visible on the screen.b) Press the Prt Sc key (or Print Scr / Print Screen).c) Open Paint from Start > Programs > Accessories > Paint. In the Paint menu please choose Edit > Paste. d) Please save the image in .JPG format: click File > Save as and choose the .JPG or .JPEG format in the "Save as type" box.
3. Write an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, and include a short description of the event (running programs at the time of the attack, your last actions etc.), then attach the screenshot and firewall rules.
Our Support should reply with details on the attack within 1 hour.
Kind regards,
The BullGuard Team
If you did not find the solution you were looking for, please feel free to contact our Support.

Deschutes Public Library News
Know Local Authors!
Posted By:
Liz Goodrich
Date Posted: 5/10/2011
If you are a local, self published author, Deschutes Public Library is looking for you. The library is organizing two author events, the first on Saturday, August 13 at East Bend Public Library and the second on Sunday, August 14, at the Downtown Bend Public Library featuring the work of local, self published authors.
"We're offering local authors the opportunity to both read and sell their work," said Chantal Strobel, Community Relations Coordinator for Deschutes Public Library. "We think this is a great way to highlight our local authors at the library." The events will be structured similarly to the Portland literary festival, Wordstock, with each author having a scheduled time for a public reading and a table for book sales.
There is an application process and a limited number of authors will be selected to participate. "The library is looking for a variety of genres and variety of voices for our events," said Strobel. Authors wishing to apply can
download the application from the library website
or call (541)312-1032 to request an application. All applications must be received by June 1, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. In addition, authors should plan on submitting a copy of their book for consideration.
For more information about this or other library programs, please visit the library website at
. People with disabilities needing accommodations (alternative formats, seating or auxiliary aides) should contact Liz at (541)312-1032.

To the Editor:— In the article "Management of Angiomas" in The Journal Oct. 15, 1960, Dr. D. J. Kindel relates his experience with soft and ultrasoft irradiation and concludes that this is the ideal treatment of certain infantile angiomas. There is no argument with his observation that the lesions respond to this therapy. Nevertheless, there are sound reasons why many radiologists and dermatologists refuse to use it. In the first place, the 15- and 20-year follow-up is more important than the 6-month or 1-year follow-up in these cases. If the patient acquires an area of skin atrophy or malignancy at the site of treatment 20 years later, neither she nor her family nor her doctor is going to be pleased. The author makes only cursory reference to late sequelae and states they can be avoided by "adequate equipment and training." He does not define this term; neither does he give

The following information was supplied by the 78th Precinct of the NYPD. It does not indicate a conviction.
Tough Ride
A crook stole a motorcycle that was parked on 15th Street on April 11.
The 28-year-old victim told police that she parked her gray Yamaha between Sixth and Seventh avenues at around 7:30 p.m. on April 11. She told police that she did not lock the motorcycle to the fence in front of the building she was visiting, but she did lock the wheel. When she went back a couple hours later at around 3 a.m., the $8,000 motorcycle was gone.
Home Un-improvement
A woman was arrested for trying to walk out of a hardware store on Second Avenue with home improvement supplies on April 12.
An employee saw the 34-year-old suspect walk in to Lowe's near 10th Street at around 5:57 p.m., grab a couple of paint cans and electrical wires, worth over $1,000, and then try to leave without paying. Police arrested the woman shortly after.
Bag in Bar Gone
A quick-handed crook swiped a man's bag of electronics while he was at a music venue on Ninth Street on April 13.
The victim told police that he left his bag unattended while at Barbes, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, for an hour between 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. When he went back to get his bag, with two laptops and an iPad, it was gone.

Wednesday: Little St Mary's
Jul. 21st, 2010 05:39 amThis is the churchyard of Little St Mary's, so called because there's another church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, called Great St Mary's. There was a tabby cat standing beside this tombstone, but he ran away when I took my camera out. LSM is a very friendly high church which has mass every day, but I didn't drop in today because it's during work hours on Wednesdays.
Last night I went to see ghoti, Jon, Bene't and Judith (with Ian and Clare also making welcome appearances) at Relativity. It was so good to see them all again! We had some rather delicious stir-fry, and summer pudding, which isn't something I've had for a very long time. After dinner I played my first game of RoboRally, which Bene't won.
xzibit is progressing rather excitingly, and yesterday I played minesweeper (Simon's version) on an X display other than the one it was actually connected to. Next I have to learn a great deal more than I know already about MPX.
Tonight is the only night of the week when I'm not due to go and see someone. An old friend of mine has turned up living in one of the villages, and I might go out there to see them, but I might also just have a spare peaceful evening when I'm not going anywhere— especially because the second draft of one of my chapters is due tomorrow.

How Do Psychics Receive Information?
Although I can't speak for every psychic, the consensus is from many professional psychics that we all have this ability call known as "being psychic", "intuition", "gut instinct" or just a "knowing".
The ultimate difference in a psychic's ability lay in how or if this ability is developed through practice, development classes, meditation or prayer. For me it is all the above, on a regular basis – usually daily. The old saying practice makes perfect definitely does apply.
An important first step to building psychic ability is by paying attention on how you as an individual best receive information. We each have a dominant mode or combination of ways to receive psychic impressions, and understanding what works for you is the key to opening up your intuitive insight. Read the rest of this entry »
Emotional Bounce-Back Effects
My ex was actually a very good empath. I never knew this. I knew him well, but I had no idea that our thoughts were bouncing back and forth between each other. He at first, had no interest in the spiritual, but upon watching me work, he became interested. Then he actually became aware of empathy. I used him as a research tool, and he would occasionally call me and ask me if I was thinking of him, if I needed anything.
Awareness is the key to telepathy and empathy, or any psychic work. We all pick up thoughts, have visions or have psychic impressions or dreams, but we are unskilled in picking them up, and usually uncertain as to what they mean. Read the rest of this entry »
The Psychic Messages In Music
I've always loved music. Besides being soothing and an all round mood and energy shifter, it's been used to communicate with others since the dawn of time. I will frequently get a song in my head in two specific ways: some are from my mother; and those that are not from my mother. The 'mom songs' are Sunday school songs, the "not from mom' songs include everything else.
Popeye the Sailor sang a song, "I love to go swimming, with bowlegged women, and swim between their knees". One day I woke up to that song in my head and couldn't figure out who, why or what? I kept coming up blank. I knew that I knew the song from the past, but I couldn't remember exactly where I knew it from. Read the rest of this entry »
Reading With My Psychic Heart
While I have been spending the last 30 years refining my intuition to make sure I was psychically reading with accuracy, Doc Lew Childre, CEO of the Institute of Heartmath in Boulder Creek, California, was on another path. He was proving that I was using my heart, and not my mind, to accomplish that task for others and myself.
Doc Childre has reported that the 'cares' of the world: worries, anxieties, judgments, anger, crime, violence, homelessness, depression, and even hatred fill our heads, which damages our hearts. It is that single act that has resulted in "heart disease becoming the number-one killer in both men and women in industrialized nations," he says. Read the rest of this entry »
Lasting Love
I have done readings for so many people that swore their loved one would never return to them. Well, I just love getting updates or feedback from my clients telling me how wrong they were, and that what I was seeing was very much a real possibility.
If there is a love chord connection, the other person that you long for never is truly gone. They may be physically gone for a while, but never far in thought and spirit. I strongly believe, and know from experience, that we do communicate with loved ones we can't be with in physical proximity. Instead we connect with them in the astral realm or "dream world."

The Haunted Dungeons Of The Castle Of Good Hope
I've lived in South Africa for most of my life, and the Castle of Good Hope is a well known landmark and monument in Cape Town, our "Mother City." But I never had the chance to visit and see it for myself, up until about a month ago. The experience was an amazing one. It was a full tour of the castle and the various museums and galleries inside, including the dungeon, holding cells, and underground storage rooms.
The Castle of Good Hope is South Africa's oldest building dating back to 1666. The fortress took 13 years to build and contained living quarters, a church, bakery, workshops, and prison cells. It was built because the Dutch trading company who occupied the Cape at the time feared an attack from the British. Today the castle operates as a museum, visited by thousands of local and international tourists every year. Read the rest of this entry »
Is Your Child Psychic?
When I was very young I already had the ability to sense, feel and know things were going to happen before they did.
I had many paranormal experiences as a child. I felt I could speak to animals and I had dreams about future events that came true. I remember specific dreams of numbers that came in the lottery the next day. I was only five at the time, who knows about the lottery at that age?
How can you determine if your own child has psychic abilities? If a child shows signs of great knowledge beyond their years, if a child can sense what will happen before it does, or recognizes a place but has never been there, then you should pay careful attention.
If you have noticed your child speaking to imaginary friends or looking off into areas where there is nothing there are also signs of your child having a sixth sense, or psychic ability. Read the rest of this entry »
Metaphysics For Dummies
"I don't believe in ghosts, it's all nonsense!" These are the first words I heard when I walked into the room. I felt myself taking a deep breath, in preparation for the usual 'here-we-go-again' discussion.
I'm the first to say we all have our own belief systems, so whatever you find peace with, more power to you. Yet, I find myself, at times, in defense mode. There is never any real need for it and I have come to terms with the probability that I become defensive because of my own past experiences.
I usually listen, without interrupting their rant in regards to fraudulent psychics, false prophets, fake paranormal videos, and other nonsense to keep people in ignorance and fear. In the same sentence they will often add, "but there was this one time". This is when my ears perk up! Read the rest of this entry »

Fellowship Programme in International and Comparative Environmental Law
Multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) are the preeminent legal method for addressing transboundary environmental problems. However, rapid proliferation of MEAs (totaling over 300 agreements) with complex reporting and compliance procedures has severely burdened the meagre financial, technical and human resource capacities of developing states. Despite the obvious need for capacity building in international environmental law, there has been a dearth of comprehensive and intensive programmes in this realm. Realizing this gap, UNITAR has launched a Fellowship Programme on International and Comparative Environmental Law. |
The First Session of the Fellowship Programme in International and Comparative Environmental Law took place from 17 July to 4 August 2006 in Budapest, Hungary. UNITAR organized the session in collaboration with the Pázmány Péter Catholic University and the Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe (REC) and received institutional support from the Hungarian Ministry for Environment and Water.
