LifeSiteNews reports that:
"More than 1,300 clergy, including 11 serving bishops, have written to the archbishops of Canterbury and York saying they will leave the Church of England if women are consecrated bishops. Three sitting diocesan bishops have also written to the Archbishop of Canterbury supporting the threat and two other bishops have said they are preparing to leave the Church." "[Ruth] Gledhill [of the Times] quotes the Rev. Prebendary David Houlding, a leading Anglo-Catholic, who said: 'It's getting worse - it's going downhill very badly. It's quite clear there is a pincer movement and we are being squeezed out. We are being pushed by a particular liberal agenda and we are going to have women bishops at the exclusion of any other view'." 12

"[Ruth] Gledhill [of the Times] quotes the Rev. Prebendary David Houlding, a leading Anglo-Catholic, who said:
'It's getting worse - it's going downhill very badly. It's quite clear there is a pincer movement and we are being squeezed out. We are being pushed by a particular liberal agenda and we are going to have women bishops at the exclusion of any other view'." 12
"The news that a group of 'senior' Anglican bishops are in talks with Rome during the crisis came as a surprise to representatives of the Catholic Church of England and Wales, attending the Synod as observers. Gledhill reported that Monsignor Andrew Faley, ecumenical officer of the Catholic bishops of England and Wales, had 'no information' that such talks had taken place. The Telegraph reports that the Rowan Williams was also not told of the talks that are reported to have been with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican's highest doctrinal authority after the Pope himself.""The talks come with a backdrop of a difficult history. In 1992, when the Church of England voted to ordain female clergy, a similar crisis ensued in which a large number of Anglican ministers applied to Rome to create a provision to retain the traditional Anglican style of worship but seek communion with the See of Rome. At that time, under Pope John Paul II, some 'Anglican Use' parishes were established in the US, but the episcopate of the Catholic Church of England and Wales obstructed the solution. Hopes were dashed when the Catholic bishops of England and Wales announced that converts would only be accepted individually, not en masse, and there would be no provision made for the retention of 500 year-old Anglican liturgical traditions.""It was noted that the heavily liberalized Catholic leadership did not relish the thought of a massive influx of doctrinally and liturgically traditional and highly educated clergy into their midst." "But since the election of Pope Benedict XVI, who has made unprecedented moves to reconcile traditionalists in the Catholic Church, and who was strongly supportive of the Anglican traditionalists before his election, hope has been revived that a path may be cleared." 12
Those caucasians opposed to female consecration to the episcopate campaigned for special arrangements so that they would not have to accept a woman as their bishop. They offered two options:
Muriel Porter, writing for the Australian Broadcasting Corp. was unsympathetic to the attempt to derail gender equality in the episcopate. She wrote:
"... these suggestions were dismissed by the synod, which instead has opted for pastoral provisions similar to those now available in Australia where there are women bishops. These are low-key arrangements designed to treat with respect those who oppose women in church leadership, without undermining the authority of women bishops.""The arrangements the English opponents wanted would have been deeply humiliating to women, creating in effect a second-class tier of bishops. In a modern pluralist society such as England is in the 21st century, this would surely be intolerable.""If anyone suggested that Anglican worshippers could be protected from any contact with black bishops, for instance, both the vast majority of churchgoers and wider society generally would be rightly alarmed and appalled. But the proponents of discrimination against women seem to think they are immune to criticism because of their outdated views about the Bible and church tradition." 7
Her article received 100 comments from readers by JUL-11; some were quite vitriolic.
The synod confirmed its mid-2006 synod decision to consecrate women as bishops. The voting numbers were:
Draft legislation and a Code of Practice will be presented at the 2009-FEB synod to implement the decision. 7 However, if the level of support for women bishops remains constant, the legislation will fail. The laity support was nine votes short of the two-thirds majority required to pass legislation. 7 This should make for a lively synod in February as supporters of women's restrictions battle with supporters of women's equality. The nature of the CoE will hang in the balance.
A letter from the Vatican issued on 2008-JUL-08 stated:
"We have regretfully learned of the Church of England vote to pave the way for the introduction of legislation which will lead to the ordaining of women to the Episcopacy.""The Catholic position on the issue was clearly expressed by Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II. Such a decision signifies a breaking away from the apostolic tradition maintained by all of the Churches since the first millennium, and therefore is a further obstacle for the reconciliation between the Catholic Church and the Church of England.""This decision will have consequences on the future of dialogue, which had up until now born fruit, as Cardinal Kasper had clearly explained when he spoke on June 5 2006 to all of the bishops of the Church of England at the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury." "The Cardinal has been invited once again to express the Catholic position at the next Lambeth Conference at the end of July." 9
Their reference to "all of the Churches" having continuously discriminated against women in the clergy until recently may be surprising to many readers, since all liberal and most mainline Christian denominations have had female clergy for decades. The letter is consistent with the document "Dominus Iesus" that was ratified by Pope John Paul II in the year 2000. It explains the Roman Catholic belief that all of the Christian denominations except for the Church of Rome and the Eastern Orthodox churches have not preserved the Apostolic succession. Thus, they are not "churches in the proper sense." That belief was reinforced during 2007 by Pope Benedict XVI in his document: "Responses to Some Questions Regarding Certain Aspects of the Doctrine on the Church."
Many traditionalists were distressed at the synod vote. John Fulham, chairman of Forward in Faith wrote on JUL-09:
"Many of you have phoned me in the last twenty four hours, angry or distressed. Several have suggested that we should declare war on those who seek to destroy us. Particularly, the suggestion has been made that we stop paying Diocesan Quota. I am open on this matter but think that now is not quite yet the time for such drastic gestures, for whatever we do needs its timing to be agreed by us all so that we can act together. Be assured of my commitment to our common life and of my determination to continue to seek a common way forward in faith for all of us." 10
Eighteen women bishops gathered near Oxford for a two-day meeting prior to attending the Lambeth Conference of Bishops that is held every ten years. Included were 11 bishops from the U.S., three from Canada, two from Australia, and one each from Cuba and New Zealand. 7
This is a structure set up by the Vatican in 2009 that would allow Anglican laity and clergy to leave the Anglican Communion, form separate groups affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, while still following Anglican liturgy and other practices, A new liturgy will be published by the Vatican for all Ordinariate groups, including the one in the UK.
Keith Newton, who heads up the UK Ordinariate, said:
"Every week somebody writes or e-mails asking how they can join the Ordinariate. They are often people I have never heard of before. ... For clergy it is a practical risk, meaning they abandon tied housing and a guaranteed stipend for a smaller income and uncertainty." 13
Protesting equality for women and LGBT persons in the Church of England, a group of seven Anglican priests decided to abandon the Anglican Communion. They were ordained as Roman Catholic clergy on 2011-JUN-04 by the Most Rev. Peter Smith, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Southwark. Subsequent groups will be ordained on successive weeks. More than 900 laity have preceeded them and become Catholics.
The new Catholic priests will lead former Anglican laity to worship as a separate Ordinariate groups in the UK. 13
After the consecration of women as bishops is eventually implemented, the relationship between the Methodists and Anglicans in England will probably become closer. However, an additional strain would appear in the relationship of the Anglican and Roman Catholic church. To the Roman Catholic Church, even the ordination of women as deacons is forbidden. It is a hot-button item. Debate and dialogue on these topics by clergy in that Church is suppressed.
After the Church of England first ordained women as priests in 1992, 720 priests found the situation so intolerable that they felt compelled to leave the denomination. About 400 priests joined the Roman Catholic Church even though many if not most were married. The exodus opened up hundreds of posts for female Anglican priests to fill.
There are no firm data about how many will leave when women are allowed to be consecrated as bishops. Estimates range from a very few to 1,000. Allowing female bishops would mean that some male priests would be under the authority of a woman. Male conservative clergy might find this so unacceptable that they might abandon the church in droves.

Our 4 week old had his first well baby check-up today. I chose this PCP at random, and originally intended on finding an actual Pediatrician, but kept getting the run-around, so since the PCP I chose back when I was pregnant also looks after infants, I figured I'd try him out because our baby really needed his first well baby check-up. The guy is awesome - his office is real close-by to where we live, he's much older than I expected, but was very soft-spoken, gentle, was not pushy, and did not appear to be pressed for time at all. Anyway, so I was nervous when the diaper had to come off, and watched him like a hawk. He had no issues with me standing right there, and explained everything he was doing and for what purposes he was doing it. He got down to our son's genitals, merely felt his scrotum, and that was it in that area. Did not comment at all that he had not been circumsized, and mentioned nothing about the foreskin. He didn't touch his penis at all. I'll check in at his next well baby appointment, but I'm pretty sure if he was going to be the type to mess around with the foreskin, he would have done it at this appointment, wouldn't he have..?

Your therapist uses slow, strong strokes that stimulate and revive deep muscle tissue.
Please be aware that you may experience some mild discomfort as your tight muscles are kneaded and loosened.

Cervical Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
If your doctor says that you have cervical cancer, ask to be referred to a gynecologic oncologist—a doctor who has been trained to treat cancers of a woman's reproductive system. This doctor will work with you to create a treatment plan.
The extent of disease is referred to as the stage. Information about the size of the cancer or how far it has spread is often used to determine the stage. Doctors use this information to plan treatment and to monitor progress.
For more information about stages of cervical cancer, visit the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Types of Treatment
There are several ways to treat cervical cancer. The treatment depends on the type of cervical cancer and how far it has spread. Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy.
- Surgery: Doctors remove cancer tissue in an operation.
- Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy involves the use of drugs to stop or slow the growth of cancer cells. Chemotherapy may cause side effects, but these often get better or go away when chemotherapy is over. Chemotherapy drugs may be given in several forms, including pills or through an IV (intravenous) injection.
- Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays (similar to X-rays) to try to kill the cancer cells and stop them from spreading. The rays are aimed at the part of the body where the cancer is.
Different treatments may be provided by different doctors on your medical team.
- Gynecologic oncologists are doctors who have been trained to treat cancers of a woman's reproductive system.
- Surgeons are doctors who perform operations.
- Medical oncologists are doctors who are experts in cancer and treat cancers with medicines.
- Radiation oncologists are doctors who treat cancers with radiation.
Visit NCI for more information about treatments for cervical cancer.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials use new treatment options to see if they are safe and effective. If you have cancer, you may want to take part. Visit the sites listed below for more information.
- NIH Clinical Research Trials and You (National Institutes of Health)
- Learn About Clinical Trials (National Cancer Institute)
- Search for Clinical Trials (National Cancer Institute)
- ClinicalTrials.gov (National Institutes of Health)
Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Complementary and alternative medicine are medicines and health practices that are not standard cancer treatments. Complementary medicine is used in addition to standard treatments, and alternative medicine is used instead of standard treatments. Meditation, yoga, and supplements like vitamins and herbs are some examples.
Many kinds of complementary and alternative medicine have not been tested scientifically and may not be safe. Talk to your doctor before you start any kind of complementary or alternative medicine.
Which Treatment Is Right for Me?
Choosing the treatment that is right for you may be hard. Talk to your cancer doctor about the treatment options available for your type and stage of cancer. Your doctor can explain the risks and benefits of each treatment and their side effects.
Sometimes people get an opinion from more than one cancer doctor. This is called a "second opinion." Getting a second opinion may help you choose the treatment that is right for you.

The Tallest Christmas Tree in England
Work has got under way to decorate a giant Redwood tree with 1,800 lights at Kew's country garden in West Sussex. The 100ft Redwood at Wakehurst Place is said to be the UK's tallest Christmas tree - and when lit up is visible from the sky on flights to Gatwick Airport.
Expert tree climbers were scaling the tree with ropes and high-level platforms from 0730 GMT on Wednesday. James Pumfrey, from the conservation and woodland unit, said work would take most of the day to complete.
Mr Pumfrey is one of a team of arborists who look after trees around the 500 acre estate near Haywards Heath. He said: "Stringing up 1,800 Christmas lights is a bit different to our normal work, and it always marks the start of the build-up to Christmas here at Wakehurst.
"The tree is a local landmark which can be seen for miles when the lights are switched on and it is great to be part of this festive tradition."
The energy-saving lightbulbs will be tested on Wednesday and will be officially lit up on 28 November.

Civil War Road Trips
The road trip is a classic American rite of passage, and few routes are more memorable than those marked by the Civil War. Stops include major battlefield sites such as Gettysburg and Manassas, but there's more to a Civil War road trip than just hitting the mega sites. Head off the beaten path into lesser-visited, but no less remarkable, regions. The routes offer more than battlefields, too. Museums, exhibits and more tempt Civil War enthusiasts. Get ready for a Civil War road trip along these 5 historic routes.The Old Carolina Road: Route 15
The Carolina Road was one of the main north-south roadways during the Civil War. Today, it runs parallel to a 175-mile stretch of road, Route 15, which winds past Civil War superstar sites, such as Gettysburg, Antietam and Manassas. You can also meander through dozens of smaller sites such as Ball's Bluff Regional Park and Battlefield and the Battle of Kettle Run. To help plan your trip, visit Journey Through Hallowed Ground. More than 30 small towns, such as Frederick, VA, Harper's Ferry, WV, and Leesburg, VA, lie along the Journey Through Hallowed Ground route, with histories dating back to the early 1800s.The Deep South: Louisiana and Mississippi
Civil War fans have all but made ruts in the roads around the mid-Atlantic region's hotspot battle sites. Head instead to the Chalmette Battlefield, down river from New Orleans. Explore the thousands of military and civilian artifacts at the Civil War Museum. Then head 2 hours north to Port Hudson State Historic Site in Jackson, LA, where the Siege of Port Hudson occurred in 1863. Continue north to Vicksburg National Military Park, in Vicksburg, MS, site of a military campaign which led to the Union's control of the Mississippi River. Finally, journey through Corinth, MS, where you can visit the Civil War Interpretive Center and preserved antebellum houses, such as the Verandah-Curlee House Museum.The Carolinas Campaign: The End of the War
After General William T. Sherman's march through Savannah, GA, the general was on a bit of a tear. He headed north into the Carolinas, toppling the remaining Confederate strongholds. Focus your road trip on the North Carolina leg of this epic campaign at the Fayetteville Arsenal, an ammunitions and weapons depot later destroyed by Sherman. Next, visit the Market House, a former site of cavalry fighting when Union forces came to town. Head north to the battles sites of Averasboro and Bentonville; both feature informative exhibits, such as a Confederate mass grave (in Bentonville), period newspaper copies and maps of troop movements. Finally, check out the Confederate Line of March, the route soldiers took en route to the Battle of Bentonville.Maryland's Civil War Trail
Following the Second Battle of Manassas, General Robert E. Lee marched his troops over the Potomac River, toward the Battle of Antietam, in Maryland. Today, keep an eye out for the "Maryland Civil War Trails" markers along roads. (Download a map here). Start your trip just north of the town of White's Ferry at White's Ford. The route winds through the Maryland towns of Frederick, Middleton and South Mountain. Stop at any of the dozens of well-marked points along the trail, including the white, multi-storied and many-balconied Landon House, where General J.E.B. Stuart's men held a dancing ball (until a federal cavalry broke it up) and the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick, MD, which depicts the pains and horrors of medicine in the days before anesthesia.Tennessee's Civil War Heritage Trail
Tennessee is mighty wide. So don't try to see the state's many Civil War commemorative sites all at once. The 4,000-acre Shiloh National Battlefield is a good place to start. Then head north to the 6-mile self-guided tour of Fort Donelson National Battlefield; the fort's fall to Union troops in 1862 triggered the evacuation of most of Western Tennessee. Then drive east to Clarksville, TN, to visit Fort Defiance/Fort Bruce, a former Confederate army defense fort, and the Customs House Museum and Cultural Center to see Civil War diaries, currency and Confederate and Union weapons. Finally, head south to the Tennessee River Museum, which details the Union's dramatic river invasion leading up to the control of Shiloh and the other riverfront forts.Valerie Conners is a freelance writer and editor who has worked for media outlets such as the Travel Channel, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer and Frommer's Travel Guides.

A man accused of murdering his girlfriend's 9-month old baby girl appeared in New Bedford District court with tears in his eyes to be arraigned on murder charges.
One month ago 23-year-old Ethan Harrison of New Bedford was charged with reckless endangerment of a child, assault, and battery after baby Ariel Eluziario died after being hospitalized for broken bones, abrasions, and several other serious injuries.
Eluzairio was left in the care of Harrison before she was transported to the hospital with a blood clot on her brain and hemorages behind both eyes.
According to police, Harrison admitted that when the infant became fussy he slapped her in the face, dropped her on the floor, then on the bed, and then on the floor again.
After an autopsy and further investigation charges against Harrison were upgraded to murder. Harrison has been ordered held without bail.
Harrison was Eluziario's mother's live-in boyfriend but not the father of the infant.

Gambling winnings are fully taxable in Iowa even if the winner is not an Iowa resident.
The winnings are reported on an IA 1040 long form. Anyone reporting either gambling winnings or losses cannot use the IA 1040A short form.
Residents or Part-year Residents of Iowa
Winnings from all types of gambling, including charitable gambling, casinos, bingo, raffles, state lotteries, and dog and horse track betting, must be reported as "Other Income" on line 14 on the IA 1040.
If you itemize, you may claim gambling losses as a miscellaneous deduction on Schedule A. However, this deduction cannot be more than your winnings. For example, if your gambling winnings for the year are $1,000, your deduction for gambling losses cannot exceed $1,000.
Taxpayers who claim the standard deduction on the Iowa return cannot deduct their gambling losses, although they must still report gambling winnings.
Nonresidents of Iowa - Filing Requirements
Nonresidents are required to file an Iowa return if Iowa-source income, including gambling winnings, is $1,000 or more and gross income (from all sources, not just Iowa) is more than $9,000 if single or $13,500 for married filers.
If 65 or older on December 31 of the tax year - filing status single
- Tax year 2007 and 2008, net income of more than $18,000
- Tax year 2009 and subsequent years, net income of more than $24,000
If 65 or older on December 31 of the tax year - filing status other than single
- Tax year 2007 and 2008, net income of more than $24,000
- Tax year 2009 and subsequent years, net income of more than $32,000
Complete the IA 1040, showing income from all sources similar to the federal return. Show gambling winnings as "Other Income" on line 14.
Take eligible gambling losses on Schedule A in the same manner as explained above for residents or part-year residents.
Complete the IA 1040 return through line 50 (beginning with tax year 2007).
Then complete the Schedule IA 126 showing only the Iowa income amount(s). Determine your nonresident credit on the IA 126 based upon the percentage of Iowa income to total income. Take this credit on line 51 (beginning with tax year 2007) and complete the remainder of the IA 1040. Please attach a copy of your federal return.
Examples of how to complete these forms
Why didn't I receive all of my winnings?
A portion of your winnings may have been withheld for taxes. According to state and federal laws, certain winnings are subject to withholding at a 5% rate for state income tax purposes and are subject to withholding at a 25% rate for federal income tax purposes.
The withholding of state income tax from your winnings will not necessarily satisfy your Iowa tax responsibilities. Only by completing the IA 1040 can the correct amount of Iowa tax be determined.
You may owe more state income tax than was withheld, depending on different variables, such as your total Iowa income or your total income from all sources.
If the amount withheld exceeds the Iowa tax calculated on form IA 1040, you will be eligible for a refund of that portion of the tax withheld.
NOTE: Nonresidents are not exempt from Iowa tax or Iowa withholding and usually will not receive a full refund of the Iowa tax withheld.

Standardization or standardisation is the process of developing and implementing technical standards. Standardization can help to maximize compatibility, interoperability, safety, repeatability, or quality. It can also facilitate commoditization of formerly custom processes.
In social sciences, including economics, the idea of standardization is close to the solution for a coordination problem, a situation in which all parties can realize mutual gains, but only by making mutually consistent decisions. Standardization is defined as best technical application consentual wisdom inclusive of processes for selection in making appropriate choices for ratification coupled with consistent decisions for maintaining obtained standards. This view includes the case of "spontaneous standardization processes", to produce de facto standards.
The implementation of standards in industry and commerce became highly important with the onset of the Industrial Revolution and the need for high-precision machine tools and interchangeable parts.
First attempts[edit]
Henry Maudslay developed the first industrially practical screw-cutting lathe in 1800. This allowed for the standardisation of screw thread sizes for the first time and paved the way for the practical application of interchangeability (an idea that was already taking hold) to nuts and bolts.[1]
Before this, screw threads were usually made by chipping and filing (that is, with skilled freehand use of chisels and files). Nuts were rare; metal screws, when made at all, were usually for use in wood. Metal bolts passing through wood framing to a metal fastening on the other side were usually fastened in non-threaded ways (such as clinching or upsetting against a washer). Maudslay standardized the screw threads used in his workshop and produced sets of taps and dies that would make nuts and bolts consistently to those standards, so that any bolt of the appropriate size would fit any nut of the same size. This was a major advance in workshop technology.[2]
National standard[edit]
Maudslay's work, as well as the contributions of other engineers, accomplished a modest amount of industry standardization; some companies' in-house standards spread a bit within their industries.
Joseph Whitworth's screw thread measurements were adopted as the first (unofficial) national standard by companies around the country in 1841. It came to be known as the British Standard Whitworth, and was widely adopted in other countries.[3][4]
This new standard specified a 55° thread angle and a thread depth of 0.640327p and a radius of 0.137329p, where p is the pitch. The thread pitch increased with diameter in steps specified on a chart. An example of the use of the Whitworth thread is the Royal Navy's Crimean War gunboats. These were the first instance of "mass-production" techniques being applied to marine engineering.[1]
With the adoption of BSW by British railway lines, many of which had previously used their own standard both for threads and for bolt head and nut profiles, and improving manufacturing techniques, it came to dominate British manufacturing.
American Unified Coarse was originally based on almost the same imperial fractions. The Unified thread angle is 60° and has flattened crests (Whitworth crests are rounded). Thread pitch is the same in both systems except that the thread pitch for the 1⁄2 in bolt is 12 threads per inch (tpi) in BSW versus 13 tpi in the UNC.
National standards body[edit]
By the end of the 19th century, differences in standards between companies, was making trade increasingly difficult and strained. For instance, an iron and steel dealer recorded his displeasure in The Times: "Architects and engineers generally specify such unnecessarily diverse types of sectional material or given work that anything like economical and continuous manufacture becomes impossible. In this country no two professional men are agreed upon the size and weight of a girder to employ for given work."
The Engineering Standards Committee was established in London in 1901 as the world's first national standards body.[5][6] It subsequently extended its standardization work and became the British Engineering Standards Association in 1918, adopting the name British Standards Institution in 1931 after receiving its Royal Charter in 1929. The national standards were adopted universally throughout the country, and enabled the markets to act more rationally and efficiently, with an increased level of cooperation.
After the First World War, similar national bodies were established in other countries. The Deutsches Institut für Normung was set up in Germany in 1917, followed by its counterparts, the American National Standard Institute and the French Commission Permanente de Standardisation, both in 1918.[1]
International standards[edit]
By the mid to late 19th century, efforts were being made to standardize electrical measurement. Lord Kelvin was an important figure in this process, introducing accurate methods and apparatus for measuring electricity. In 1857, he introduced a series of effective instruments, including the quadrant electrometer, which cover the entire field of electrostatic measurement. He invented the current balance, also known as the Kelvin balance or Ampere balance (SiC), for the precise specification of the ampere, the standard unit of electric current.[7]
Another important figure was R. E. B. Crompton, who became concerned by the large range of different standards and systems used by electrical engineering companies and scientists in the early 20th century. Many companies had entered the market in the 1890s and all chose their own settings for voltage, frequency, current and even the symbols used on circuit diagrams. Adjacent buildings would have totally incompatible electrical systems simply because they had been fitted out by different companies. Crompton could see the lack of efficiency in this system and began to consider proposals for an international standard for electric engineering.[8]
In 1904, Crompton represented Britain at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in Saint Louis as part of a delegation by the Institute of Electrical Engineers. He presented a paper on standardisation, which was so well received that he was asked to look into the formation of a commission to oversee the process.[9] By 1906 his work was complete and he drew up a permanent constitution for the first international standards organization, the International Electrotechnical Commission.[10] The body held its first meeting that year in London, with representatives from 14 countries. In honour of his contribution to electrical standardisation, Lord Kelvin was elected as the body's first President.[11]
The International Federation of the National Standardizing Associations (ISA) was founded in 1926 with a broader remit to enhance international cooperation for all technical standards and specifications. The body was suspended in 1942 during World War II.
After the war, ISA was approached by the recently formed United Nations Standards Coordinating Committee (UNSCC) with a proposal to form a new global standards body. In October 1946, ISA and UNSCC delegates from 25 countries met in London and agreed to join forces to create the new International Organization for Standardization (ISO); the new organization officially began operations in February 1947.[12]
In general, each country or economy has a single recognized National Standards Body (NSB). Examples include ABNT, AENOR, AFNOR, ANSI, BSI, DGN, DIN, IRAM, JISC, KATS, SABS, SAC, SCC, SIS, SNZ. An NSB is likely the sole member from that economy in ISO.
NSBs may be either public or private sector organizations, or combinations of the two. For example, the three NSBs of Canada, Mexico and the United States are respectively the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the General Bureau of Standards (Dirección General de Normas, DGN), and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). SCC is a Canadian Crown Corporation, DGN is a governmental agency within the Mexican Ministry of Economy, and ANSI and AENOR are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with members from both the private and public sectors. The determinants of whether an NSB for a particular economy is a public or private sector body may include the historical and traditional roles that the private sector fills in public affairs in that economy or the development stage of that economy.
Standards can be:
- de facto standards which means they are followed by informal convention or dominant usage.
- de jure standards which are part of legally binding contracts, laws or regulations.
- Voluntary standards which are published and available for people to consider for use.
The existence of a published standard does not necessarily imply that it is useful or correct. Just because an item is stamped with a standard number does not, by itself, indicate that the item is fit for any particular use. The people who use the item or service (engineers, trade unions, etc.) or specify it (building codes, government, industry, etc.) have the responsibility to consider the available standards, specify the correct one, enforce compliance, and use the item correctly: validation and verification.
Standardization is implemented greatly when companies release new products to market. Compatibility is important for products to be successful; this allows consumers to use their new items along with what they already own.
Social science[edit]
In the context of social criticism and social science, standardization often means the process of establishing standards of various kinds and improving efficiency to handle people, their interactions, cases, and so forth. Examples include formalization of judicial procedure in court, and establishing uniform criteria for diagnosing mental disease. Standardization in this sense is often discussed along with (or synonymously to) such large-scale social changes as modernization, bureaucratization, homogenization, and centralization of society.
Information exchange[edit]
In the context of information exchange, standardization refers to the process of developing standards for specific business processes using specific formal languages. These standards are usually developed in voluntary consensus standards bodies such as the United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT), the World Wide Web Consortium W3C, the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), and the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS).
There are many specifications that govern the operation and interaction of devices and software on the Internet, but they are rarely referred to as standards, so as to preserve that word as the domain of relatively disinterested bodies such as ISO. The W3C, for example, publishes "Recommendations", and the IETF publishes "Requests for Comments" (RFCs). However, these publications are sometimes referred to as standards.
Customer service[edit]
This section appears to be written like an advertisement. (January 2014) |
In the context of customer service, standardization refers to the process of developing an international standard that enables organizations to focus their attention on delivering excellence in customer service, whilst at the same time providing recognition of success through a third party organization, such as the British Standards Institution (BSI). The International Customer Service Standard (TICSS) has been developed by The International Customer Service Institute (TICSI) with the objective of making it the cornerstone global standard of customer service. This standard has the status of an independent standard.
Supply and materials management[edit]
In the context of supply chain management and materials management, standardization covers the process of specification and use of any item the company must buy in or make, allowable substitutions, and build or buy decisions.
In the context of defense, standardization has been defined by NATO as The development and implementation of concepts, doctrines, procedures and designs to achieve and maintain the required levels of compatibility, interchangeability or commonality in the operational, procedural, material, technical and administrative fields to attain interoperability.[13]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (January 2014) |
The process of standardization can itself be standardized. There are at least four levels of standardization: compatibility, interchangeability, commonality and reference. These standardization processes create compatibility, similarity, measurement and symbol standards.
There are typically four different techniques for standardization
- Simplification or variety control
- Codification
- Value engineering
- Statistical process control.
Types of standardization process:
- Emergence as de facto standard: tradition, market domination, etc.
- Written by a Standards organization:
- in a closed consensus process: Restricted membership and often having formal procedures for due-process among voting members
- in a full consensus process: usually open to all interested and qualified parties and with formal procedures for due-process considerations.
- Written by a government or regulatory body
- Written by a corporation, union, trade association, etc.

Comments about butter LONDON 3 Free Nail Lacquer, West End Wonderland, .3 fl oz:
I am allergic to most "normal" nail polish. I gave this a try for New Year's Eve and absolutely loved it. It sparkled perfectly and has a very unique look. I was surprised that is looked so nice after only one coat. I put on a second coat and it looked even better. It also dries very quickly. Now, it isn't perfect. Maybe because it's free of some of the harsher chemicals it does tend to wear off after a couple of days. I'm sure that could be helped by a base coat and top coat--neither of which I used. I recommend this and will keep purchasing it.

Comments about butter LONDON 3 Free Nail Lacquer, West End Wonderland, .3 fl oz:
Most glitter polishes end up being too flashy and trashy. West End Wonderland as well as the other butter LONDON glitter polishes are super fine glitter, so it has just a subtle sparkle but dramatic effect. The other great thing is that unlike other glitter polishes, it removes pretty easily. It still takes a little effort, but that's to be expected with glitter. Love it!

very well made pillow, nice firm zipper closure, soft velvet with the perfect amount of down filling to make them stand up firmly but still soft enough to use comfortably. Happy to find such nice pillows at such a good price. They truly are a deep dark purple. love them
These pillows ARE NOT VELVET like shown in the picture! They are microsuede. What a rip off.
These pillows are a beautiful deep purple color made of soft velvet. They seem to be very good quality. They are very flat coming out of the box, but in fluffed right up in a few days. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Sent these as gift to my picky daughter and she loves them. She said they look great and no "fluff" coming off of them. Shipping was quick.
Love love love the pillows ! They are on a white couch and look fabulous. Very comfortable.
Loved this pillow would definitely order again it is very plush
For the price, you can't beat this deal. I bought these as an addition to my couch. I"ll definitely purchase two more. They are soft and cushy. They were much better quality that I anticipate based on the price.
These are very nice pillows, soft and fluffy. The royal purple color is so pretty and rich! I bought them for our salon and the clients love them!
Very, very happy with these pillows! Might need to order a couple more. They're covered in a soft dark purple velvet, not scratchy at all. And the down feathers conform perfectly to the couch. Had to rave, I loved them.

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished
scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and
technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it
by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal govern -
ment on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy
of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National
Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its
administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences
the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also
sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research,
and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles M. Vest is president of the National
Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure
the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters
pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National
Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon
its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg
is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate
the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge
and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by
the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy
of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the
public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both
Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and
vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council.

Small Businesses Investing More in Social Media, But Juggling Resources
VerticalResponse, a leading provider of self-service marketing solutions for small businesses and non-profits including email marketing, social media marketing and event marketing, today announced the results of an exclusive survey on how much time and money small businesses spend on social media.
The company surveyed 462 small businesses on how much time they spend on social media activities, including finding and sharing content on popular social networks and blogging, and what tasks take the most time. VerticalResponse also inquired about marketing budgets.

Very Interesting Post...I agree and I disagreement....
You Know I don't know ..but the small biz ownership,is very hard sometimes..
They believe in social media, but do not like to spend time on it, complain that they have no time and less money to pay someone to handle social media in their business.
Once again, they say that Yes like Social Media, but do not want exposed to "be known", still have fear, mistrust.I talked and tell,the benefits, as compared with other small businesses, that they do, but they, in this case these three customers,they are interested but also not interested...so weird..
And it's frustrating.
Actually I will not insist on change their idea, they live and continue to live within its four walls.
The question is:
What is social media for them?
They will change?
Are conformists and will remain in the ice age?
Cliff Figallo says:
Hi, JC. I didn't create this infographic - I just published it. But I know what you're saying. It's hard for small businesses to find the time to invest getting to understand social media in the context of their business, much less to learn how to use it effectively. It forces them into a tough decision: to spend extra time doing work that MAYBE will end up saving you time. Then the decision is whether to hire a skilled employee to set up your social media or to contract someone to do the same and teach you how to run it.
Established small businesses have a harder time. New ones can include social media from the beginning, or even start the business in social and base it out of there.

Denver and San Diego will meet for the 103rd time on Sunday, marking the most common regular-season matchup for the Broncos. All-time, Denver is 54-47-1 (.534), including a 35-14-1 (.710) record at home against San Diego.
When the teams played one another for the first time, the Chargers franchise was still located in Los Angeles. The Chargers won that game 23-19 on Oct. 16, 1960 in Denver. The matchups have remained close throughout the teams' history as the Chargers average 21.8 points per game to the Broncos' 21.1 in the series.
Denver hopes to end a three-game losing streak to San Diego, having last won 34-23 on Oct., 19, 2009 in San Diego.

CRADLE'S EMPTY BABY'S GONE. As Sung at Ford's, by Barlow, Wilson, Primrose & West's Minstrels Words and Music by Harry Kennedy. Author of "A Flower from Mother's Grave" Little empty cradle, treasured now [with care] Though thy precious burden it has fled. How we miss the locks of curly golden hair, Peeping from thy tiny snow-white bed, When the dimpled cheeks and little laughing eyes From the rumpled pillow shone, Then I gazed with gladness, now I look and sigh; Empty is the cradle, Baby's gone. Chorus. Baby left her cradle for the golden shore, O'er the silv'ry waters she has flown, Gone to join the angels peaceful evermore; Empty is the cradle Baby's gone. Near a shady valley stands a grassy mound,Underneath my little darling sleeps. Blossoms sweet, and roses cluster all around; Over-head the willow silent weeps There I laid my loved one in the long ago, And my heart does sadly moan, Though she's with the angels, still I fain would weep? Empty is the cradle, Baby's gone. - Cho. Wm. J. Schmidt, 360 Mulberry Street, Baltimore.

By unilaterally calling this snap election, Pauline Marois is violating the spirit of the fixed-election act her government passed just last year.
The Quebec soccer federation should have waited for a definitive FIFA ruling instead of embarrassing itself with a premature turban ban last summer.
Quebec's electrical generating capacity is a great advantage, but action must be taken to cut the cost of current surpluses.
It would be wonderful if the Redpath Mansion could be preserved, but the struggle to save it looks very much like a lost cause.
Since his appointment as chief executive officer of Quebec's public pension fund, the Caisse de dépôt et placement, Michael Sabia has shut up his early critics by effectively putting up. Notable among those naysayers was former premier Bernard Landry, who described Sabia's appointment in 2009 as not only a mistake, but "almost a provocation" on the part of the Liberal government of the day. In the eyes of Landry and others, his deficiency was not so much a lack of financial acumen, but the fact that he was Ontario born and bred, and imbued, as Landry put it, with a "Canadian national culture" inappropriate for the top job at the Caisse.
Montreal needs new powers to fully assert itself, but wresting them form the provincial government will be a striggle.
Justin Trudeau was right to say the PQ is playing the politics of division with its language and values initiatives.
Montrealers can take pride in the undeniable fact that theirs is in large measure a city unique.
The introduction of patient-based funding for Quebec's health sector is a long overdue reform.
Premier Pauline Marois is said to have toyed with the idea of calling the election that by now seems imminent without bringing down a new provincial budget. That she would even contemplate this is understandable, given the dismal shape of government finances acknowledged in last November's budgetary update.

The Missouri Senate has passed a bill that would allow designated school personnel to carry concealed weapons in school buildings.
The Senate voted 26-6 Thursday to pass the measure. It now heads back to the House for further consideration.
The bill would allow school employees to voluntary become "protection officers" if they have a valid concealed weapons permit and undergo training for the position.
State employees could keep firearms in their vehicles on state property under a bill heard by a Missouri Senate committee.
The measure considered Tuesday by the Senate General Laws Committee would allow those employees to have a firearm in their car if it is locked and the gun is not visible.
The legislation would also increase penalties for convicted felons who use an illegal firearm while committing another crime. But the committee's chairman, Republican Sen. Brian Nieves, said he wants to take that provision out of the bill.
The Missouri House has advanced legislation guaranteeing state workers the right to keep firearms in their vehicles on state property when they're on the job.
Columbia Police Chief Ken Burton discussed the local crime rate and answered questions at the Boone County Democratic Muleskinners club meeting Friday.
