We ordered these as a surprise for my daughter & new husband at their wedding reception and they were a HUGE, HUGE hit! We had the DJ play "Poker Face" and my husband and I brought them out when everyone was on the dance floor, waving them in the air. You should have seen the look on the bride & groom's faces! Absolutely priceless. The big heads were a part of the reception all night long. I was going to try to make these myself by getting posters made, gluing them to poster board and cutting them out. I can't tell you how much easier it was to have them done here for just [$]! Saved me both time and money.

Bought a big head picture for my daughters sporting events. She was thrilled to see her picture and it motivated her to play better. Parents and kids were all impressed and thought it was a fantastic idea. Value for the product was great, very low price. I would highly suggest this to others. GOOD JOB AND THANK YOU.
Very picky and value oriented customer
Service and delivery comments:
FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE: My original order had some flaws (wrinkles). I complained in a survey and a couple days later another (PERFECT) product showed up on my doorstep. I am a customer service manager and I value companies that put the customer first (over money). This was well done! THANK YOU!
Best Uses
Got a large poster of my dog's face to surprise my husband with during the NYC Marathon. It was better then I even expected. My husband was able to spot me 10 blocks away and seeing our dog's face was just the motivation he needed to keep running. This was a lot of fun and a great value. Strongly encourage a purchase if you want to stand out from the crowd.
Service and delivery comments:
Super prompt delivery. Poster came even earlier then the site said it would.
Best Uses
I was blown away when my son's big face came in the mail. It was PERFECT! We waved it everytime he made a great play or TOUCHDOWN!! We ordered it 2 days before Homecoming and received it on time as promised! Thank you for your part in making his little league homecoming game a memorable one.
Best Uses
Fast, fun and great value!
Best Uses
I had a little trouble uploading photos at first; but after contacting customer service, everything went as smooth as possible! Communication was great; pricing was great; and shipping was faster than stated! Our softball seniors, crowd and fans LOVED these big-head cutouts!
Best Uses
I bought this as a gag gift for my best friend. We both have a silly sense of humor and we think it's hilarious. I was a little hesitant about how it was going to be cut out around the head, but it looks great. They did a good job of getting it close without making it look weird without hair. It arrived without any imperfections or bends. My friend told me she put it in her window to scare passerbys. All in all a great buy for the price. I will likely be buying again. Maybe the full sized one next time!
Best Uses
Used these a fall sports rally as part of a spirit challenge! We mentioned the principal in a class cheer and raised his head as we sang along. The effect was fabulous! The big heads (along with a couple of sets of the regular sized ones) truly helped the senior class win the spririt challenge this year. We have the trophy to prove it! And even now, one of the big heads is sitting pretty in the superintendant's office for future use if needed. I can only imagine what fun it will bring the next time it comes out for use!
Best Uses
Great head for fans! Needed to be put on a large stick. Some where bending in the wind because of where the cardboard fold was located. MOved the stick up higher--problem solved.
Best Uses
Ordered the big heads for our Seniors for Senior Night. The first set that came had a few creases on them for some reason. I contacted customer service and they were happy to make it right. They sent a new set of big heads that were flawless. Our Seniors, their parents and the entire team were thrilled!
Best Uses
Will order again! We used the Big Heads for "Senior Night" the expressions on our cheerleaders faces was priceless when they saw us up in the stands with them!!

Last night the Red Bull Music Academy opened the doors of their new home in New York to a diverse crowd ranging from skateboard toting music lovers to architect Steven Holl. As if the allure of 38,000 square feet of state-of the art digs by Jeffrey Inaba and INABA wasn't enough, Kairos, an exhibition of NY-based artists curated by Ken Farmer of Nuit Blanche was displayed throughout the space. Housing a lecture room, performance lounge, 'living' room and studios-a-plenty, the four-floor Chelsea location was recently completed, just in time for the Academy's New York arrival.

clinics in Jewish development towns and Arab villages, and a baby care center in
an unrecognized Beduin town in the Negev, also meeting with representatives of
patient rights organizations in the Arab and Ethiopian Jewish sectors and with
heads of professional medical groups.With their work completed, the
final report will be published on November 26 when OECD officials will again
come to Israel to attend a conference on health systems and present their
findings in a press conference.The government allocated health funding
at relatively low levels during years of tight cost control with relatively low
demand, attributed to a young and healthy population. Yet Israel made it
possible to build a high quality health system, the OECD said.Israel's
health system is considered especially good for its early diagnosis of chronic
diseases that prevents unnecessary hospitalization, the European experts
said.For example, diabetes has been diagnosed early, lowering the rate
of complications that would have required hospitalization compared to average
OECD rates.In addition, primary care in Israel benefited significantly
from the immigration of large numbers of doctors and nurses from the former
Soviet Union in the 1990s, the OECD said. But because these professionals are
beginning to retire, it is important for the country to ensure that young
doctors and nurses will choose primary care and be trained
appropriately.While medical data from community health fund clinics are
assessed by the insurers, this trend should be expanded to monitor improvements
in care, the OECD team said. They also urged that hospitals be encouraged to
improve the quality of their treatment, and that hospital data must become more
accessible to health system professionals in the community.In addition,
there must be more competition on quality among health funds and providers of
care, they said.Despite the high marks, there is a complex mix of gaps
in the health system between the rich and the poor, the center and the
periphery, and various ethnic groups, said the OECD. More equity and
accessibility will require additional efforts.The OECD also bemoaned the
growing use of private medical care, which makes it harder for the economically
disadvantaged to enjoy the best healthcare.Deputy Health Minister
Ya'acov Litzman welcomed the report for its praise of the system, adding that
those issues that were criticized must be improved."We will not
disregard these. I asked the [Health Ministry] director- general, Prof. Ronni
Gamzu, to present me a program for applying the recommendations in the report,"
he said.Gamzu also expressed his satisfaction with the OECD conclusions
and promised to work toward repairing the faults that remain.

I have been doing this for about 6 months now and have found that not only is the fan quiet but the batteries last longer.
You can do this one of 2 ways
1st way is remove the fan from your mask and putting a drop or 2 of R/C electric motor bushing oil on the motor bushing behind the fan blade.(the oil comes in a bottle with a long metal aplication tip).
2nd way is again remove fan from mask find and mark motor shaft location on top of fan casing with a sharpie market, next dissassemble fan and using a small drill bit (big enough for application tip on bottle to fit in) drilla hole at marked location,reassemble fan, now you can oil both motor bushings for even quieter operation.
pics of where to place oil, in the one you can also see where I drilled the housing to get to the top bushing
Here is a link to one of the places I have gotten the oil from in the past(when I race R/C cars)http://www3.towerhob...RCH=bushing+oil
The motor will need to be reoiled every now and then.
I hope this helps anyone that uses the JT masks and vortex fans
Pics finally up I had problems with camera sorry it took so long to get them up

SUNDAY, 9:10pm: Berardino now tweets that the Kia Tigers haven't officially decided whether to accept the top bid for Yang, and MLB doesn't notify the top bidder until the bid is accepted.
12:29pm: Jeeho Yoo of Yonhap News hears from an informed baseball source that the Twins have in fact won the bidding. The value of the Twins' bid has not been announced and sources have thrown out estimates ranging from $700K to ~$1.5MM.
Both the Kia Tigers and Yang are disappointed with the size of the bid, but the pitcher is pushing the Tigers to accept it so that he can pursue his dream of pitching in the majors. The team has previously said that it would accept a bid for Yang as long as it was of "a reasonable amount," but never specified the monetary figure. The KBO has said that it will inform MLB of the Tigers' decision by 4pm CT on Friday, November 28th.
10:51am: The Twins are insisting that they haven't been told they've won the bidding for Yang, according to Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN (on Twitter).
SATURDAY, 10:18am: The Twins have won the bidding for Korean lefty Hyeon-jong Yang and are nearing agreement on a deal, Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press writes. The Kia Tigers posted Yang earlier this week. The Twins have a 30-day negotiating window with Yang.
Yang, who will be 27 in March, posted a 4.25 ERA with 8.6 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9 in 165 innings in Korea in 2014. Those numbers don't sound that impressive at first, but each team scores an average of 5.63 runs per game in the offense-heavy KBO, far higher than in the Majors, and Yang's season earned him the KBO's equivalent of the Cy Young award. Yang is viewed as a mid-rotation starter with No. 2 starter upside, the New York Daily News' Mark Feinsand reports. Yang has a smooth delivery and throws 92-95 MPH.
Feinsand had named the Yankees, Cubs, Red Sox, Giants and Astros as teams that could have interest in Yang. The Red Sox also reportedly had interest. The Padres recently won the bidding for another KBO pitcher, Kwang-hyun Kim, for $2MM, although the top bid for Yang was expected to cost more.
The Twins were expected to pursue starting pitching this offseason, and Yang should give them an option to accompany Phil Hughes, Kyle Gibson and Ricky Nolasco. Twins starters posted a league-worst 5.06 ERA in 2014.

Good sign for ya'll.]]>
While I too liked Zednik, I believe Gainey was unhappy with Zednik's performance, and he was unhappy with his ice time – prompting him to request a trade, which has worked out for both sides. Good luck Zed with Oveckin!
His replacement is Mike Johnson, who is much more defensivly responsible then Zednik and a hard worker – he'll be a great addition to the 3rd line.
The aquistion of Samsanow gives the Habs two great first lines. Koivu's recovery is apparently taking longer then expected, but I am assuming he'll be back. Koivu is very much the heart and soul of our team, on and off the ice, and his absence would an irreplaceable loss. I can't even think of him not returning…
Ahem…anyway, Koivu will undoutably start off centering Ryder and Higgins. He makes these two young forwards better, and has the speed and skill to make space for them. Ryder is beginning to get his scorer's touch, while Higgins really seemed to come into his own after the Olympics.
The second, much talked about 'Russian' line would be Samsanov, Ribeiro, and Kovalev. Any thoughts about someone else centering these two should be cast aside, as, and I quote (from the Habs webpage):
"We were looking to fill in the open spot alongside Mike Ribeiro and Kovalev," said Carbonneau. "A natural goal scorer with a really good shot, Sergei knows how to get free and Ribeiro and Kovalev like to find the open man. They should be a good combination."
The player that Habs love to hate, Ribeiro has a lot to prove this season. He has realized that, and is putting a lot of effort into his off-season training. While I was frustrated watching him play, he can still come into his own and with some guidance could become a talented second line center. I'm willing to give him another chance, as he seems to really want to play in Montreal.
I'm really pleased with our 3rd and 4th lines.
The D-corp, if Souray truely wants out, will need some patch work as Streit is no replacement for a top 4 d-man…especially one with that shot.
Here's what I think Carbo has in mind…
Higgins – Koivu – Ryder
Samsanov – Ribeiro – Kovalev
Perezhogin – Plekanec – Johnson
Murray – Bonk – Begin
ex. Kostitsyn, Downey
(I think Kostitsyn is the prospect most likely to earn that 23rd spot. The others need more time to develop before hitting the big leagues)
The D-corp, if Souray stays, will look essentially the same as last season. If there is a trade, then I have no idea what will happen. Either way though, Streit will again be the #7 defenceman, but look for more improvements from him.
The goalies, no brainer: Huet and Aebisher(or Danis if he is traded)
Sorry for the lonnng post, but I needed to write this somewhere…and it wasn't worthy of a new thread.]]>

Corporate social responsibility for inclusive growth.
Till the dissolution of the Soviet Union, formally in 1989, in academic and popular discussions, the world used to be divided into three parts--the First; Second; and Third worlds. From an economic structure point of view, the First world economies consisted of the market economies, with freedom for entrepreneurs domestically, and relatively free trade in exports and imports. The US, EU and Japan were the main constituents.
The Second world was made up of centrally planned and administered economies, with state ownership of enterprises, and limited exports and imports; mainly through bilateral relations. Russia, the East European and Central Asian countries, were the main parts. The Third world consisted of all other countries, mostly in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Some countries of the third world adopted an export-led growth model in the 1960s and 70s. They achieved high economic growth, and got new labels such as the Newly Industrialized Countries (NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC.
(2) (New Internet Computer) An earlier Linux-based computer from The New Internet Computer Company (NICC), Palo Alto, CA. ); and the Asian Tigers. After the death of Mao in 1976, Deng began economic reforms in China in 1979, based on Special Economic Zones (SEZ), dedicated to exports. China has been growing at more than 10% per annum since then. In the Soviet Union, Gorbachev implemented Glasnost and Perestroika. Russia and the ex-CIS countries have also implemented changes towards a market economy.
India began with a mixed economy consisting of a state-owned public sector, and a private sector subject to industrial licensing and many administrative controls on imports; exports; foreign exchange etc. Between 1950 and 1990, the economy grew at only 3.5% per annum. In 1991, India also was forced to reform her economy. The reform has had three main strands--LGP--Liberalisation; Globalisation; and Privatisation. The first reform has helped the rapid expansion of the existing and new private enterprises. The second has led to a sustained growth of exports, both in services like IT, and in manufactures like drugs and engineering goods. The third reform of privatisation has faced more social and political resistance. However, it has benefitted the consumer and job seeker in telecom; banking; airlines; electricity etc. The resistance has been more to the selling of the government stake in state owned enterprises, SoE.
All the above reforms have taken the Indian economy to a high growth path of 8%. In the peak year of 2007-08, it exceeded 9%. But questions have arisen on the quality and contents of the growth in India. Inflation rose above 12%. It hurts the poor more. Disparities of income and wealth have widened. The better performing companies have raised their market share and profits. Under liberalisation, corporate survival is not guaranteed, resulting in some closures and job losses. In the competition for talent, companies have raised the total managerial compensation, consisting of salaries, allowances, bonuses, benefits, stock options etc. The outcome of the 2004 parliamentary elections was partly influenced by the argument that the benefits of high growth had not reached the common man. Even within the ruling UPA Coalition, the debate favoured growth not for its own sake. Industry Chambers and Professional Associations have been holding Conferences on Inclusive Growth; its challenges; and action needs.
Global Concern
This concern for Inclusive Growth has now become global. It has been a major issue in the 2008 US presidential campaign. Against a mood of despair and hopelessness, Obama has won by offering hope of change for the better. The US economy is reeling under recession, hit by three main problems--the home mortgage defaults; bank losses; and considerable credit card dues. Some fear even a Depression 2, revisiting the horrors of Depression 1 of the 1930s.
In the early stages of the 2008 US financial crisis, there was a perception in the EU that it was more of an American problem. But, it is now clear that Europe is also in recession. Its strongest economic member, Germany, is experiencing a fall in GDP GDP (guanosine diphosphate): see guanine. . In Japan, there has been talk of the "lost decade" of the 1990s. After long stagnation, Japan was showing some signs of revival. But, it has been nipped in the bud by the recessions in the US and the EU.
In the BRIC BRIC Brazil, Russia, India and China (world affairs)
BRIC Brooklyn Information & Culture
BRIC Biological Research Information Center (Korea)
BRIC Benign Recurrent Intrahepatic Cholestasis countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China and the NICs, there was an argument in 2008 about whether they were sufficiently "decoupled" from the US economy, to be able not only to sustain their own growth, but also to act as "locomotives", to some extent, helping even the developed economies to recover faster from their recession. Evidence is clear that they are very much coupled. Exports' share and other asset prices have fallen. While not in recession, they are in a "Downturn" with lower GDP growth.
Government Action
Many national governments are wrestling with this huge global economic crisis. The aim is not only to revive growth, but go for Inclusive Growth, which is more sustainable. The mood at the World Economic Forum, WEF WEF World Economic Forum
WEF Water Environment Federation
WEF Winter Equestrian Festival (Wellington, FL)
WEF With Effect From (aviation)
WEF World Environment Fund
WEF Weight Enumerating Function , in Davos, in January 2009, was sombre, compared to the optimism of earlier years. The shoe has been on the other foot. Just as in the last two to three decades, the state fundamentalists have accepted the role and value of the Market in the current crisis, the Market fundamentalists have realised the role that only a state can play.
Governments are responding, at varying speeds. In the US, while the Bush administration was perceived to have been complacent, in the initial stages, it got Congress approval for a revival package of 700 billion USDs. The Obama administration has proposed another one trillion dollars. While the EU, France and Britain acted fast Germany has been slower. The Chinese government has also come up with an infusion of 500 billion dollars. The government of India The Government of India (Hindi: भारत सरकार [3]Bhārat Sarkār), officially referred to as the Union Government, and commonly as Central Government has proposed 50 billion dollars; cuts in excise, customs, fuel prices etc. The RBI RBI

Not by Government Alone
Revival and inclusive growth cannot be achieved by government alone. The government is only one of the three pillars of the Governance Model in our post-Reform world.
Under "normal, Inclusive Growth" times, Government will be the relatively less active element of the triangle. In periods of recession and downturn, the government has to step in and play a more active role, to revive confidence and provide stimulus. But, at all times, it should demonstrate Good Governance. In normal Inclusive Growth times, the Market will raise the funds, mobilise the human resources and provide the needed goods and services In economics, economic output is divided into physical goods and intangible services. Consumption of goods and services is assumed to produce utility (unless the "good" is a "bad"). It is often used when referring to a Goods and Services Tax. . It has to practice Good Corporate Governance. In the long run, normal Inclusive Growth will depend on the vigilance and initiative of the Civil Society, through its power for voting; spending; mobilising; activism, etc. The Citizen and NGOs should practice Good Self-governance.
Three Responsibilities
Sustained Inclusive Growth requires an optimal blend of three sets of Actors and their respective responsibilities.
There are many Government Responsibilities (GR), which include law and order; defence; foreign relations etc. But, for Inclusive Growth, it must pay special attention to GSR See Gigabit Switch Router. , Government Social Responsibility. Similarly, there are many Corporate Responsibilities (CR) which include providing customer value; shareholder returns; and employee satisfaction. For Inclusive Growth, the enterprise must discharge its CSR (1) (Customer Service Representative) A person who handles a customer's request regarding a bill, account changes or service or merchandise ordered. Agents in call centers are known as CSRs. See call center. . Finally, the Citizen has many Personal Responsibilities, including looking after the spouse, children, other dependents, etc. But Inclusive Growth requires that every citizen above the Poverty Line must take her/his Personal Social Responsibility (PSR PSR Pulsar

PSR Psychosocial Rehabilitation
PSR Pacific School of Religion
PSR Policy and Survey Research

PSR Pre-Sentence Report
PSR Pressure-State-Response
PSR Puget Sound Region ) seriously, to help a few below the Poverty Line.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
CSR has come to stay. There are very few takers for Milton Friedman's stance in the 1950s that CSR is a dangerous concept. The business of business is not just business. The articles in this special issue deal with various facets; issues; and examples of CSR.
CSR Reporting
C.V. Baxi and Rupamanjari Sinha Roy take up the developments in reporting and further scope for disclosures in their CSR activities by corporates. Their finding is that in India, currently, the reporting deals more with the activities than with the results. They emphasise the need for CSR reporting standards. Global warming has brought up the urgency of corporate sustainability. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI GRI Graduate, Realtors Institute
GRI Global Reporting Initiative
GRI Gas Research Institute
GRI Gallaudet Research Institute
GRI General Rate Increase
GRI Geoscience Research Institute (Loma Linda, CA) ) provides useful guidelines. Eight Indian companies have given GRI-based disclosures in 2008. The older, established companies first engage in CSR. Data of good practices are building up. Creating a structure and budget for CSR helps. A few examples have been given, including the Triple Bottom Line reporting of ITC ITC (Brit) n abbr (= Independent Television Commission) → Fernseh-Aufsichtsgremium
ITC n abbr (BRIT) (= Independent Television Commission) → ; CSR of L&T; Bharti Airtel; Continental Devices; IOC IOC
International Olympic Committee
IOC n abbr (= International Olympic Committee) → COI m
IOC n abbr (= ; and SAIL. About a hundred Indian companies have signed the UN Global Compact.
V. K Vassal vassal: see feudalism. has made an interesting attempt to examine the impact of CSR on shareholder returns. He has used the data of the ESG ESG Enterprise Strategy Group (Veritas)
ESG Emergency Shelter Grant (Florida, USA)
ESG Expeditionary Strike Group
ESG Electronic Service Guide (used in DVB) index (Environmental, Social and Governance) and the stock market data. There are signs of higher return for CSR companies, although, not yet, statistically significant. There is a broader acceptance now of "Stakeholder Returns", rather the narrower "Shareholder Value". In addition to the customer; shareholder; and employee, the society is also a stakeholder in business. CSR is related to and consistent with the PRI PRI: see Institutional Revolutionary party.
(Primary Rate Interface) An ISDN service that provides 23 64 Kbps B (Bearer) channels and one 64 Kbps D (Data) channel (23B+D), which is equivalent to the 24 channels of a T1 line. , Principles of Responsible Investment, enunciated by the UN in 2005. It also meets the expectations of SRI, Socially Responsible Investment, which guides some investment funds. Vassal has used three measures--Alpha; Volatility; and Variability. As more companies adopt CSR; and improve their management of CSR, the higher returns are likely to be significant, as well as meet the needs of Inclusive Growth.
CSR as an Opportunity
Sanjeev Gupta and Nidhi Sharma look at CSR as a business opportunity. Most companies tend to treat it as just a cost. Some may even look at it as an unavoidable nuisance or distraction from their core business. On the other hand, it can give benefits to the company. These benefits need not be confined to just a better image. They can be more tangible and financial. It is not a zero-sum game. CSR may begin as "charity", which has an element of condescension. Philanthropy, the next stage, accepts some moral responsibility, for sharing wealth. More companies are now linking CSR to their business strategies. CSR can give competitive advantage. It can give a number of business benefits, including lower costs; reduced risk; higher revenue; better reputation; access to talent and capital etc. According to the Association of British investors, CSR can help reduce portfolio volatility and increase returns.
CSR Swot
N. K. Choudhary writes with a different and interesting perspective; a blend of industrial and NGO NGO
nongovernmental organization

nongovernmental organization vantage points. He is a CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of a rug Company, as well as the Managing Trustee of a rugs Foundation. He notes the benefits of collaboration between Corporates, NGOs and Government to improve the Quality of Life (QL) of the workers; their families; the local community; and society at large. The enterprise also benefits in its brand image, costs, loyalty, retention and regulatory compliances. He notes the example of Coca Cola in India. On the downside, it has faced charges on pesticide residues. On the upside, it has won Corporate Governance awards, including CSR, for water conservation and management. It has installed Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) structures in many states. It has restored several traditional water bodies and check dams. Being a big user of water in its products and processes, it aims to reach 'net zero water' usage. It also has a program to provide clean drinking water in schools. The article also notes the contribution of ITC, through rural partnerships, touching the lives of three million villagers. The Jaipur Rugs Co. and its Foundation have helped over 35,000 artisans in ten states. They provide integrated rural development and skills training in collaboration with government and NGOs. The Foundation works based on a concept of 3Es--Employability; Employment; and Entrepreneurship. The paper gives examples of govern-ment and NGO initiatives, which corporates can partner, for mutual benefit.
More Examples
Amita Joseph adds to the growing list of CSR examples, such as the Tata Council for Community Initiatives; the K.C. Mahindra Foundation; GSK C. H. Partnerships; Reddy's Labs; the Byrraju Foundation; EMRI EMRI Emergency Management and Research Institute (India)
EMRI Ecosystem Management Research Institute (Seeley Lake, MT, USA)
EMRI Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals
EMRI Emerging Markets Risk Indicator ; HMRI HMRI Huntington Medical Research Institutes (Pasadena, CA)
HMRI Hunter Medical Research Institute (Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia)
HMRI Her Majesty's Railway Inspectorate ; Eicher's Primary Education Project; Mindtree's support to Spastics Society; and the Janaki Bajaj Gram Vikas Sansthan. Engaging in CSR is not a guarantee for sustained future good corporate governance. A particular management may fail, as in the case of Satyam Computers, in early 2009. One hopes that a new professional manage-ment will not only revive the company, but also maintain, and expand the worthwhile CSR activities.
Social Projects
Asit Roy describes in detail the CSR related Social Projects of his company, Kanoria Chemicals. These are both internal and external. The company has a formal Policy on Social Responsibility. It has also developed a CSR Mission statement. Being in the chemical industry with inherent pollution and safety hazards, the company has gone for ISO (1) See ISO speed.
(2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9001; 14001; and OHSAS OHSAS Occupational Health and Safety Management System
OHSAS Occupational Health & Safety Assessment Series
OHSAS Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Scheme (UK) 18001 certification. It has run an award winning "Waste to Energy" programme at its factory. It also has a "Waste to Wealth" project. It supports a range of programmes for the local community, in Education; Watershed Management; Income Generation; Health & Family Welfare; and Housing.
The company has evolved a model of Social Project Management, based on '6E'--Evaluate; Enter; Engage; Empower; Ensure; and Exit. The approach can enable sustainable development, with the community taking charge and ownership. The above and similar initiatives have brought the company several awards.
The various articles in this Special Issue confirm that CSR is now owned by managements, and expected by the community. As companies gain experience in CSR, they are expanding the range of CSR programmes. They are not only doing it internally, but also in collaboration with the NGOs and government. CSR is moving beyond charity and philanthropy into a professional phase. There are many areas for improvement. There is need for continuous evaluation; feedback; control; and learning. It will be useful to have comprehensive standards for reporting on CSR, with stress on the results; outputs; impacts; benefits.
CSR has become even more critical in the current context of global economic crisis and domestic showdown. The macroeconomic goal has shifted from merely high growth, to Inclusive Growth. CSR has an important role to play, along with GSR and PSR. Let us conclude with hope that this Special Issue will stimulate further spread of CSR Action; Research; and Innovation.

All units must be properly cared for at all times including protection from rain, storm, waves and or all cosmetic conditions. There is no coverage for upholstery or canvas parts, decals, paints or finishes or other cosmetic items.
Consignment or Brokerage Sales
Huntsville Marine offers consignment and brokerage sales for used boats, motors and trailers. There is no warranty expressed or implied with these units as the comprehensive inspection process with these units is not carried out unless requested by the products owner. An inspection by Huntsville Marine does not imply any warranty to the purchaser or any implied warranty. Any items found by Huntsville Marine will be noted to aid in your decision process and as the inspection time maybe limited their is no implied coverage for items not found or any deficiency that may be not found or may exist. There is no warranty expressed or implied by actual owner of the boat or item that is being sold under brokerage terms by Huntsville Marine or its agents. All brokerage boats are sold "AS IS".
A used boat, motor of trailer may be a good family investment depending on year, builder and power as well the number of use hours. Boats tend to have a much longer life span when utilized continuously in fresh water than say the expected lifespan in years of an automobile. A 20 year old boat or in many cases anything older than 2000 will have a significant amount of wood as part of its structure which will demonstrate some level of normal wear and tear in this structure. On the engine side the power plant may be when at the same age bracket 3 generations or more back in terms of technology. Many of these older units will not be fuel injected which may provide some challenges for those not familiar with prime and choke starting systems. Older boats or those older than 2005 in most cases are not ethanol compliant which can provide fuel side issues. The normal life span of a boat in fresh water with normal family use is 20 to 25 years. All used boats will require mechanical repairs throughout their life as mechanical systems reach their lifespan. A used boat should be considered a low maintenance purchase. Boat canvas has a lifespan normally to 10 years and will over time loose the ability to repel water and will need to be replaced.
We receive a high volume of calls each fall looking for used trailers. People are request a trailer for short distance hauling and for storage during the winter months. Please note than when used on any road the trailer must meet all safety standards regardless of the distance travelled and must be adequate to properly support the boat during the winter months...do not undersize the trailer and roller trailers normally are not good investments for storage.
Older used boats will require constant care to reach their maximum lifespan. The ability to find a good used boat less than 5 model years is limited as boaters tend to keep their boating investments for period frequently over 10 years. 18 to 20 foot bowriders can be very difficult to find particularly those of the higher quality lines powered by Mercruiser stern drives.
For those looking for absolute peace of mind and ease of care a new boat should be considered. Boats that have been used in salt water should not be considered a wise investment due to corrosion concerns .

Bought a 2013 TL here. We agreed to a price via email for the TL. I traded in a TSX. I thought the value on the trade-in was a shade low, but the vehicle I purchased had a couple off "extras" on it that were included at no extra charge so I came out fine. Great experience overall from sales-Scott, financial-Gayla, and service-Tabitha. I had a "seamless" experience and will plan on buying here again when the time comes. My experiences were all positive.

Last week was dynamic for investors as the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared to a record, topping the previous high set in October 2007. It was rather dynamic, too, for investors in General Dynamics, GD -0.048409405255878286% General Dynamics Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD144.53 -0.07 -0.048409405255878286% /Date(1417039384405-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1539410 AFTER HOURS USD144.53 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 13367 P/E Ratio 21.068513119533527 Market Cap 47895798412.6098 Dividend Yield 1.7159067321663322% Rev. per Employee 319333 More quote details and news » which jetted its quarterly common dividend to 56 cents a share from 51 cents. The 10% hike is worth some $71 million in extra cash yearly and gives the New York Stock Exchange-listed shares (ticker: GD) a 3.3% yield. The 114-year-old defense contractor, which is also one of the world's largest makers of corporate jets (Gulfstream), has paid dividends without interruption since 1979, and this is the 16th consecutive annual boost.
General Dynamics is one of the defense companies that is likely to do well despite sequestration, said Investors Alliance in a recent research report. The firm noted that two of General Dynamics' encryptors have been certified by the National Security Agency to transfer information at the top-secret level and lower: "Information-sharing security has become one of [the] United States' top priorities, and [therefore] products like these become highly attractive and profitable for General Dynamics." The shares were recently quoted around $68. Their 52-week range is $74.54 to $61.09.
THE NATION'S LARGEST multiline insurance company focusing on educators' financial needs is 68-year-old Horace Mann Educators HMN 0.8392511297611362% Horace Mann Educators Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD31.24 0.26 0.8392511297611362% /Date(1417039543805-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 77908 AFTER HOURS USD31.24 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 275 P/E Ratio 11.87832699619772 Market Cap 1309393396.16837 Dividend Yield 2.9449423815621% Rev. per Employee 701292 More quote details and news » (HMN). Last Wednesday, Horace Mann enriched its quarterly common payout by 22%, to 19.5 cents a share from 16 cents. That follows a 23% increase in December from 13 cents. Yield: 3.7%. Dividends have been paid continuously since 1992, and this is the fifth year of higher disbursements. The company said the payout boost reflects Horace Mann's "continued financial strength, excess-capital position, and strong cash flow."
The Big Board stock changes hands close to its 52-week high of $22.22, set Feb. 1. There's a $50 million stock-buyback program in place.
PROFITING FROM A STRATEGY of chartering its container ships at long-term fixed rates, Hong Kong-based Seaspan SSW 0.7858546168958742% Seaspan Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD20.52 0.16 0.7858546168958742% /Date(1417039325855-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 163237 AFTER HOURS USD20.5608 0.0408 0.19883040935672514% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 100 P/E Ratio 14.686515888920699 Market Cap 1963456193.70346 Dividend Yield 6.7251461988304095% Rev. per Employee 229414 More quote details and news » (SSW) has enhanced its quarterly common dividend 212.5% since 2010. Payouts set sail again last Tuesday with a 25% hike to 31.25 cents a share from 25 cents, for a 6.2% yield. Seaspan had slashed disbursements 79% to a dime in April 2009. Dividends have been paid since 2005. In February 2012, directors authorized $50 million of stock repurchases.
The Big Board shares hit a new 52-week high Wednesday of $20.95 (Seaspan was changing hands around $11 when it last appeared in this space in August 2010). Also on Wednesday, Bank of America raised its investment rating on Seaspan to Neutral from Underperform, saying it believes "the company is finally past the trough of the container-shipping market overhang." It refrained from upgrading the shares to Buy because it feels Seaspan "will face depressed market rates for the next few years and…sizable debt repayments."
WITH THE DOW INDUSTRIAL average at an all-time high, dividends of the 30 component companies are close to setting a record, too. Trailing 12-month dividends at Jan. 31 totaled $348.61, the highest level since January 2008's $358.15 and just slightly less than May 2007's all-time high of $372.46, according to FactSet. All 30 Dow components pay a dividend.
Dividend-paying stocks have become increasingly attractive to investors in the face of historically low interest rates. And blue-chip companies have the wherewithal to pay. FactSet calculated that the group had amassed $487.9 billion in cash at the end of 2012, up 70% from year-end 2008.
Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices, calculates that the S&P 500's indicated annual dividend has reached an all-time high—$300.2 billion. That's 18.8% above the June 2008 pre-decline level of $257.7 billion and 59.5% above the $188.2 billion bottom level of July 2009. Four hundred six of the S&P 500 pay dividends, the most since November 1999's 407.
Back to the Dow 30 and what Silverblatt calls the Magnificent 7—companies that have sweetened payouts for at least 30 years. If you had invested $1,000 in each of them at year-end 1982, that investment would have been worth $425,581 at the close of 2012, a 14.7% annualized return.
