Phl senator: Let's help rice farmers
Marcos learned during the Senate public works committee hearing on Senate Bill No. 14 or National Irrigation Program of 2013 and SB No. 34 or Accelerated Irrigation Act that out of 3.1 million hectares of irrigable lands, only 1.7 million hectares have complete irrigation systems.
"This (bill) is very important because if we have no enough irrigation system, we cannot achieve our target of rice self-sufficiency," Marcos said after the public hearing.
Marcos said well-built irrigation systems will increase the yields of the rice farms.
The senator said at least P25 billion a year will be needed to construct much-needed irrigation systems.
"If we will prioritize the self-sufficiency in rice, we should prioritize the irrigation of all the irrigable lands so that our production will increase," Marcos said.
He said complete irrigation system is also necessary to prepare the agriculture sector for the ASEAN Economic Integration 2015.
"In terms of system, in terms of funding, all these are needed so that we will be able to prepare for the opening of Philippine market in rice in 2015," he added.
Marcos said the role of the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) is crucial to achieve the goal of rice self-sufficiency.

These desks hide a secret of auto-raising flat screens
Friday, June 11, 2010 - 12:04pm
Now this is a desk. By day, it's your standard-issue desk, perfect for taking notes on or reading at. By night? It raises a slew of flat-panel monitors in unison like some sort of ancient ceremony.
The desks, made by furniture maker KI, are clearly designed for places like schools, but that doesn't mean you couldn't install one for yourself if you really wanted to. And why wouldn't you really want to?

Archive for the 'Plymouth Belvedere' tag
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1962 Plymouth Belvedere
One would think that the appeal to most vintage police cars is their connection to the community in which they originally served. Getting the details right for New York City police cruisers, circa June 1973, that sort of thing. But this 1962 Plymouth Belvedere for sale on Hemmings.com, done up as a state trooper's car, takes a different approach, going with a generic police cruiser look without any direct identification with one particular state. Possibly done to avoid strict laws against impersonating a police officer? From the seller's description:
Perfect black and white finish on no rust body. Excellent chrome. Gorgeous wine and silver correct interior. Strong and tight original "Y block" V8. Desirable original push button automatic transmission. Rare find with power steering and working factory A/C. New Radial tires. Top "Gumballs" and interior Red Light and Siren all work. Has old school police radio,CB,shotgun,camera and Radar gun. Star says "Mopar Police"! Highly detailed throughout.

Best. Car. Show. Addendum.
Wow, we got a lot of commentary about the stunning 1959 Chrysler New Yorker wagon that in the AACA Grand National Show two weekends ago in New Bern, North Carolina. Much of the comment asked about the Chrysler's engine, which points up the fact that I forgot to post a photo of it. Hope this remedies things. Yes indeed, it's a 413-cu.in. wedge with a single four-barrel, and as you'd expect, this lavishly optioned Florida car also has air conditioning.
Several of you who posted wondered if the New Yorker featured a dual-carb setup. No, but this 1957 Plymouth Belvedere convertible does. In 1957, Plymouth offered the Fury only as a hardtop. This Belvedere convertible, however, is optioned with the ultimate in Plymouth power that year, the 317.6-cu.in. V-8 with dual Carter WCFBs and 290hp.
Here's the car at New Bern. John S. Paxos of Oakland, New Jersey, owns it.
What would you do with a Belvedereamino?
In response to a recent Four-Links link to a story on launching a Plymouth from the deck of the USS Enterprise, reader Steve Donohoe of Port Clinton, Ohio, told us the Plymouth was definitely a 1963 Plymouth Savoy. How did he know for sure? He himself owns a 1963 Plymouth, though not one you see everyday.
Steve said he first doodled the design of a Plymouth sedan pickup in high school notebooks in 1968, then bought a 1963 Plymouth Belvedere four-door sedan in 1971 and went through with the chop in 1980. He fashioned the tonneau cover out of two Belvedere trunk lids, and swapped out the original poly-head 318 and manual transmission for an LA-series 318 with a push-button TorqueFlyte. He then managed to get Michigan to re-title the cruck as a "1963 Plymouth Pickup."
Time's taken its toll on the Plymouth, and Steve said he recently lost his storage for it, so now comes the decision time – to restore and keep, or to attempt to sell? What would you do?
Buried car to be derusted?
Here's an update on Miss Belvedere – you remember, the 1957 Plymouth that was sealed up in a not-so-waterproof time capsule in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and exhumed amid great hoopla in June. It seems that the car is headed to Hackettstown, New Jersey, the home of Ultra One Corporation, manufacturers of a product called Safest Rust Remover.
Ultra One says in a press release that it has reached an agreement with Robert Carney, the nephew of the car's apparent winner, to have the Belvedere chemically derusted and preserved with their proprietary Safest Rust Remover process. Dwight Foster, a representative of Ultra One, expects the rust removal process to take about six months. Carney, of Frederick, Maryland, is the nephew of 93-year-old Catherine Humbertson Johnson, the oldest sister of Raymond Humbertson, who submitted the apparent winning entry in Tulsa's 1957 contest. He is to take possession of the car in a September 14 ceremony.
Sure hope they've got a lot of that stuff. According to an article in the Tulsa World, Carney has no plans to restore the car. "We're not going to take it apart and try to restore it," he told the newspaper. "Ideally, what we'd like to see is that when it's in pretty good shape, the car would go back to Tulsa for another unveiling." They don't say exactly how they're going to do it – I can imagine the car being lowered into a vat, and the chain rising up again with nothing but the carpet.
According to Ultra One, there are plans to get the engine running and all the lamps working before the unveiling. The company promises to document the whole process on their Web site. Might be a good idea to have some Safest Mold Remover on hand.
Ultra One says that its Safest Rust Remover is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and biodegradable, and can take away corrosion while leaving the metal unharmed. It leaves rubber, plastic, seals, and most paints untouched. I've actually used the stuff on the turbo heat sheild on my 1994 Saab 900, and I can say that it worked as advertised.
Tulsa's other time capsule Plymouth
Didn't realize, with all this hoopla over the buried 1957 Belvedere that resurfaced last weekend, that Tulsa "buried" another car – a 1998 Prowler pre-production prototype – in a separate time capsule back in 1998 to celebrate the city's centennial.
This time, it seems they prepared the vault better. They sealed it in a welded steel above-ground mausoleum and filled the vault with pressurized inert gas. They also replaced all the fluids with synthetics, which hopefully won't be obsolete when they open the vault in 2048.
A YouTube video shows the mayor of Tulsa riding shotgun as the Prowler was driven into the vault.
So now we have a Vega, a Mini and a Prowler representing us in the future.
(Thanks to Greg in Tulsa for the tip)
check your time capsules: Vega, Mini in danger, possibly others?
So after the Tulsarama disaster revealed a craptacular Belvedere after 50 years in a concrete vault, it might be worth checking up on the other cars in capsules around the world.
For instance, a 1975 Chevrolet Vega's probably one ton of dust right now in a time capsule in Seward, Nebraska. Hardware store owner Harold Keith Davisson built what he claimed was the world's largest time capsule and sealed it on July 4, 1975, with the aforementioned Vega, "a blue Kawasaki motorcycle, a bolt of polyester fabric and a pattern, a Teflon frying pan, soda pop, a pair of bikini panties, and a blue leisure suit with stitched yellow flowers." Apparently, a 1975 Datsun was added in a separate concrete pyramid in 1983. The capsule(s) won't be opened until 2025.
More recently, a Mini was entombed in London's Millennium vault, along with a Sony Walkman, a collection of jokes and letters from British personalities, including Prime Minister Tony Blair. Don't expect to see that one until the year 3000.
Paul Hudson, the apparent spokesman for the International Time Capsule Society, said that he knows of no other time capsules that contain cars. "It's usually a pretty big deal when they put a whole car in," he said.
If you know of any other intentional time capsules that included automobiles, though, let us know.
(Image above, BTW, from Michael Bates's excellent flickr photostream of the Tulsarama Belvedere unveiling.)
Buried Car update: Yep, she's wet
So yesterday, the Tulsarama folks did a test-lift of their time-capsule submarine '57 Belvedere, live, apparently, on Tulsa's Fox 23. And yes, the 100-year plastic wrap had ripped, showing the right rear fender, thoroughly rusty. The only real surprise is that there's any sheetmetal at all left.
Anyone know anything about reducing environments? Could it be preserved, like a shipwreck in deep water? We're guessing, "no."
Thanks to Michael for the tip
UPDATE: We've learned that rodder Boyd Coddington will be tasked with getting it running again; he'll be inspecting it on Saturday after the unveiling tonight at 7 pm.
BREAKING: Buried Belevdere is emerging–and it won't be pretty
In Tulsa, Oklahoma this morning, the famous buried time-capsule 1957 Plymouth Belvedere is being unearthed, and early reports are that it's not going to be good.
According to eyewitnesses, when the concrete capsule surrounding the car was breached, several feet of standing water was found inside, with evidence that the whole thing had been repeatedly flooded over the years. The car itself is "sealed" in layers of plastic and canvas, and greased up, but the smart money says there won't be much left. Progress has been slowed because of the presence of a Hazmat team, called in to dispose of the possibly toxic sludge.

Mr. Four-Speed's Charity Car Haul
Supercar Collectibles raised $65,900 to benefit the St. Jude's Children's Cancer Research Hospital on behalf of the late Pro Stock legend Ronnie Sox
About a year ago, in this very newsletter, you may recall that we announced a limited-run 1:18 scale Sox & Martin '67 Belvedere model, with proceeds going to St. Jude's Children's hospital. Well, the cars are sold out, and the check is in: $65,900 has been donated to the hospital in Ronnie Sox's name.
In addition, it was announced that Sox and Martin models will continue to be made available, thanks to permission from Ronnie's widow, Diane. More information is available at www.supercar1.com.

Paint-Less Coca-Cola Would Could Save the Earth
It doesn't only look beautiful, and it would make Jon Ive and Steve Jobs wet, but this naked Coca-Cola can would help save energy while reducing air and water pollution. Would it really make a difference? Let's do some math:
I assume the consumption only increases through time, but let's take the daily 2007 numbers from Global INForM Cases Sales database: The total number of Coca-Cola cans sold per worldwide is 67,873,309. Diet Coke and Coke Zero sold 35,387,241, while My Coke sold 103,260,550. Yes, that's all per day.

Richmond Hill and Toronto both took a gamble this week on hosting a casino, but while Toronto councillors agreed to stay in the game, it appears Richmond Hill is throwing in its hand.
Councillors at Richmond Hill's committee of the whole Monday unanimously agreed to simply "receive" a staff report outlining the pros and cons of bringing a casino to town. That means, should it be confirmed by council next week, the book will be closed, for now, on a casino.
Ward 6 Councillor Godwin Chan said a large majority of residents who approached him were against the idea which he says is incompatible with neighbourhoods, inconsistent with the town's official plan and zoning bylaw, and won't help the town attract and retain business.
Toronto residents have been weighing in, too. Dozens of delegations, many of whom were against the idea, addressed the executive committee Monday. The committee voted to proceed with public consultations.
Richmond Hill was among municipalities selected by the OLG for a casino, and staff prepared a report outlining the pros and cons, potential locations, jobs and revenue.
The report warns a new casino typically brings low-skilled and low-paying jobs, "not a good match for the town's well-educated labour force".
Richmond Hill, along with Markham, Toronto and Mississauga, forms one of 29 areas in Ontario identified by the OLG as potential gaming zones. Municipalities are to indicate whether they would be a willing host by fall.
In Richmond Hill, the selected area is bounded by Hwy. 7, Major Mackenzie Drive East, Bayview Avenue and Hwy. 404. Before the OLG can establish a new gaming site in a municipality, it must receive a resolution from the municipal council indicating public input has been received and the area is a willing host.
Vaughan, also identified as a potential location, has sought public input, revealing 55 per cent of respondents support a casino in Vaughan. A further study was recommended at a cost of $25,000 to $30,000, but councillors want to review Toronto's study, first.
Markham voted this summer against the idea.
Richmond Hill is the last to weigh in.
A casino can boost municipal coffers. A portion of revenues is paid to host municipalities, the report says. Windsor has received about $2.15 million per year, Brantford $3.85 million and Sault Ste. Marie $1.68 million a year.
Other benefits include the possibility of infrastructure upgrades, gambling-related jobs and temporary construction jobs, plus economic spinoffs such as increased property values if investors develop complementary businesses nearby, such as hotels and restaurants.
On the other hand, the report says a new casino can bring pressure on infrastructure with increased use of roads, utilities and sewage services. There may be a need for public transit upgrades for visitors and employees, including at non-peak hours, and added costs to the municipality stemming from problem gambling.
Increased noise, traffic, parking issues and the potential to attract undesirable clientele could also affect property values, the staff report says.
The issue of gambling addiction also brings a long list of problems including increased cost for policing, crime, child welfare involvement, unemployment and mental health problems — but, the report adds, the OLG has the best funded program for problem gambling treatment and prevention in North America and provides free gambling/credit counselling in each town with a gaming site.
The OLG is seeking a site of 12 acres, the report says.
More than half of the area identified by the OLG in Richmond Hill, within the Doncrest and Bayview Hill neighbourhoods, is comprised of low-density residential use, with very few 12-acre sites available — and none considered by town staff to be suitable for a casino.
The eastern half of the identified zone — employment land in Beaver Creek and Headford business parks — may appear to be a better bet, but offers limited or no access to arterial streets or rapid transit, the report says.
"Locating a casino on the employment lands, particularly the prime business park locations of Beaver Creek and Headford, could have a negative impact on business retention and attraction efforts," says the staff report.

Should we baptize "in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit" or "in the name of Jesus?"
by Matt Slick
The proper form of baptism is in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as Jesus designated in Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." The clear command of Jesus is to baptize this way. But, if that is so, then why do we see so many instances in the New Testament where people were baptized "in Jesus' name"?
- Acts 2:38, "And Peter said to them, 'Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
- Acts 10:48, "And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days."
- Acts 19:5, "And when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus."
The reason they were baptizing "in the name of Jesus" is not that it was a formula but that the phrase, "in the name of," means "in the authority of." We can see proof of this in Acts 4:7-10,
"And when they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, 'By what power, or in what name, have you done this?' 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, 'Rulers and elders of the people, 9 if we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man, as to how this man has been made well, 10 let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this name this man stands here before you in good health.'"
The Jews asked, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?" Peter answers and says that it was in the name of Jesus that they had healed. In other words, "in the name of Jesus" means that it is by the power and authority found in Christ. We can see this usage many places in the New Testament.
- Acts 3:6 "But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene--walk!"
- Acts 16:18, And she continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment."
- 1 Cor. 5:4-5, "In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."
- 1 Cor. 6:11, "And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God."
- Eph. 5:20, "always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father."
- 2 Thess. 3:6, "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep aloof from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us."
As you can see, "in the name of the Lord Jesus" and "in the name of Jesus" speak of "in the authority of Jesus." Therefore, when someone is properly baptized, they are baptized in the name of Jesus, that is, by the authority of Jesus. Therefore, when they are properly baptized in the name of Jesus, they should say, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit," just as Jesus commanded us to do.

An enormous box duly arrived in the post - my otter! He came so well wrapped, it was like pass the parcel. As I peeled back each layer, I kept thinking I had arrived, only to find another one and then another. But it was just as well, it would have been very sad to have spoiled the beauty of this gorgeous beast. A handful of broken chocolate shards in a bag just wouldn't have cut the mustard.
I so didn't want to break this lovely creature up and seriously contemplated keeping him for ornamental purposes. But this was a review and I did need to try the chocolate. Now this otter weighs in at a grand 430g so I wasn't sure quite how thick the chocolate was and how I was going to break into him. After ceasing the rolling pin and putting it down again a few times, I hardened my heart and gave him a bash on the back - oh dear! He wasn't hard to break. The top half of the otter was thin skinned and he sat on a very thick and solid bottom.
Bettys Dark Chocolate Selection and Bettys Christmas Gugelhupf. The chocolate tasted of chocolate and melted smoothly on the tongue releasing noticeable caramel tones - it was delicious.
An otter isn't just for Easter you know. Although he's perfect to eat at any time of year, I feel he has a certain spring like quality. I'm assuming, of course, he is a he - I didn't check that carefully. Made by hand from Swiss chocolate with 38% cocoa solids, this beats your average Easter egg hands down. At £20, he isn't cheap, but quality will out. If you don't fancy an otter Bettys has plenty of other Easter and spring time treats available via their online shop.
Thanks to Bettys for the chocolate otter. There was no requirement to write a positive review and as always all opinions are my own.
Do take a look at the Chocolate Log Blog giveaway page to see if there is anything else you would like to enter.

|Nonprofit membership cooperative
|Library services
|Dublin, Ohio, United States
|Area served
|Key people
|Skip Prichard, President and CEO
Over 72,000 libraries, archives
and museums in 170 countries [1]
Online Computer Library Center, Inc. (OCLC) is "a nonprofit, membership, computer library service and research organization dedicated to the public purposes of furthering access to the world's information and reducing information costs".[2] Founded in 1967 as the Ohio College Library Center, OCLC and its member libraries cooperatively produce and maintain WorldCat, the largest online public access catalog (OPAC) in the world.
Originally named the Ohio College Library Center, OCLC began in 1967 through a collaboration of Ohio university presidents, vice presidents, and library directors who wanted to create a cooperative, computerized network for Ohio libraries. The group first met on July 5, 1967 on the campus of The Ohio State University to sign the articles of incorporation for the nonprofit organization.[3] The group hired Frederick G. Kilgour, a former Yale University medical school librarian, to design the shared cataloging system.[4] Kilgour wished to merge the latest information storage and retrieval system of the time, the computer, with the oldest, the library. The plan was to merge the catalogs of Ohio libraries electronically through a computer network and database in order to streamline operations, control costs, and increase efficiency in library management. The goal of this network and database was to bring libraries together to cooperatively keep track of the world's information in order to best serve researchers and scholars. The first library to do online cataloging through OCLC was the Alden Library at Ohio University on August 26, 1971. This was the first occurrence of online cataloging by any library worldwide.[3]
Bearing the Cost[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2014)
The cost of implementing OCLC in the late 1960s was extraordinarily high by today's standards. Computers cost millions of dollars and software was measured in KLOCS (thousands of lines of code). No history is complete without an explanation of from where this money came.
At the time, university libraries around the country were constructing central libraries and shutting down their branch libraries—mathematics, biology, etc. The Ohio State University had an unusually large collection, spread out over a very large campus (there are currently 27 branch libraries), and an outside consulting company was hired to compare the cost of building a central library to creating an online catalog, which would alleviate the need for a central library (and make some of the faculty happier.) The consulting company's report said that the costs would be more or less the same, but that an online catalog offered the possibility of selling that service to other libraries for profit, and so the decision to create OCLC was made. The consulting company had in mind a commercial venture, and this may even have briefly happened for out-of-State libraries. The OCLC idea was already being tossed around, but this gave the State of Ohio the necessary funding justification.
OCLC provides bibliographic, abstract and full-text information to anyone.
OCLC and its member libraries cooperatively produce and maintain WorldCat—the OCLC Online Union Catalog, the largest online public access catalog (OPAC) in the world. WorldCat has holding records from public and private libraries worldwide. The Open WorldCat program makes records of library-owned materials in OCLC's WorldCat database available to Web users on popular Internet search, bibliographic, and bookselling sites. In October 2005, the OCLC technical staff began a wiki project allowing readers to add commentary and structured-field information associated with any WorldCat record.
Until August 2009, when it was sold to Backstage Library Works, OCLC owned a preservation microfilm and digitization operation called the OCLC Preservation Service Center,[5] with its principal office in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, U.S.
OCLC has been conducting research for the library community for more than 30 years. In accordance with its mission, OCLC makes its research outcomes known through various publications.[6] These publications, including journal articles, reports, newsletters, and presentations, are available through the organization's website.
- OCLC Publications – Research articles from various journals including, but not limited to, Code4Lib Journal, OCLC Research, Reference & User Services Quarterly, College & Research Libraries News, Art Libraries Journal, and National Education Association Newsletter. The most recent publications are displayed first, and all archived resources, starting in 1970, are also available.[7]
- Membership Reports – A number of significant reports on topics ranging from virtual reference in libraries to perceptions about library funding.[8]
- Newsletters – Current and archived newsletters for the library and archive community.[9]
- Presentations – Presentations from both guest speakers and OCLC research from conferences, webcasts, and other events. The presentations are organized into five categories: Conference presentations, Dewey presentations, Distinguished Seminar Series, Guest presentations, and Research staff presentations.[10]
Advocacy has been a part of OCLC's mission since its founding in 1967. OCLC staff members meet and work regularly with library leaders, information professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs, political leaders, trustees, students and patrons to advocate "advancing research, scholarship, education, community development, information access, and global cooperation."[11][12]
OCLC's most recent advocacy campaign, "Geek the Library," highlights the vital role of public libraries in the current challenging environment. One goal of this community-based public awareness campaign is to increase local library support by encouraging the public to share what they 'geek', using the word as a verb. The idea is that every person has a passion that they 'geek' from modern art to chemical engineering, and that the library supports all of the passions in the community. The campaign, funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, uses a strategy based on the findings of the 2008 OCLC report, "From Awareness to Funding: A study of library support in America."[13]
Other past advocacy campaigns have focused on sharing the knowledge gained from library and information research. Such projects have included communities such as the Society of American Archivists, the Open Archives Initiative, the Institute for Museum and Library Services, the International Organization for Standardization, the National Information Standards Organization, the World Wide Web Consortium, the Internet Engineering Task Force, and Internet2. One of the most successful contributions to this effort was the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, "an open forum of libraries, archives, museums, technology organizations, and software companies who work together to develop interoperable online metadata standards that support a broad range of purposes and business models."[11]
OCLC partnered with search engine providers in 2003 in order to advocate for libraries and share information across the broadest possible Internet landscape. Google, Yahoo!, and Ask.com have all collaborated with OCLC in order to make the WorldCat records searchable through those search engines.[11]
Online database[edit]
OCLC has a database[clarification needed] for cataloging and searching purposes which is used by librarians and the public. The current computer program, Connexion, was introduced in 2001, and its predecessor, OCLC Passport, was phased out in May 2005.
This database contains records in MAchine Readable Cataloging (MARC) format contributed by library catalogers worldwide who use OCLC as a cataloging tool. These MARC format records are then downloaded into the libraries' local catalog systems. This allows libraries to find and download records for materials to add to their local catalog without the lengthy process of cataloging each individually.
As of February 2007, the OCLC database contained over 1.1 billion cataloged items, and is the world's largest bibliographic database.[citation needed] Connexion is available to professional librarians as a computer program or on the web at connexion.oclc.org.
WorldCat is available to the public for searching via a web-based service called FirstSearch,[14] as well as through the Open WorldCat program.[15]
The Online Computer Library Center acquired the trademark and copyrights associated with the Dewey Decimal Classification System when it bought Forest Press in 1988. A browser[16] for books with their Dewey Decimal Classifications is also available; it is currently in beta form.
WebJunction[17] is a division of OCLC funded by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which provides training services to librarians.
The QuestionPoint reference management service QuestionPoint[18] provides libraries with tools to communicate with users. This around-the-clock reference service is provided by a cooperative of participating global libraries.
Control Numbers[edit]
OCLC assigns a unique control number (referred to as an "OCN" for "OCLC Control Number") to each new bibliographic record in the WorldCat. Numbers are assigned serially, and as of mid-2013 over a billion OCNs had been created. In September 2013, the OCLC declared these numbers to be in the public domain, removing a perceived barrier to widespread use of OCNs outside of OCLC itself.[19] The control numbers link WorldCat's records to local library system records by providing a common reference key for a record across libraries.[20]
OCNs are particularly useful as identifiers for books and other bibliographic materials that do not have ISBN numbers (e.g., books published before 1970). OCNs are used as identifiers often in Wikipedia and Wikidata. In October 2013, it was reported that out of 29,673 instances of Infobox Book in Wikipedia, "there were 23,304 ISBNs and 15,226 OCNs"; and regarding Wikidata: "of around 14 million Wikidata items, 28,741 were books. 5403 Wikidata items have an ISBN-13 associated with them, and 12,262 have OCNs."[21]
Regional service providers[edit]
Regional service providers contract with OCLC to provide support and training for OCLC services. This chart represents only OCLC services.
Company acquisitions[edit]
OCLC acquired NetLibrary, the largest electronic content provider,[citation needed] in 2002 and sold it in 2010 to EBSCO Industries.[22] OCLC owns 100% of the shares of OCLC PICA, a library automation systems and services company which has its headquarters in Leiden in the Netherlands and which was renamed "OCLC" at the end of 2007.[23] In June 2006, the Research Libraries Group (RLG) was merged into OCLC. On January 11, 2008, OCLC announced[24] that it had purchased EZproxy. It has also acquired OAIster. The process started in January 2009 and from 31 October 2009, OAIster records are freely available via WorldCat.org.
OCLC has been criticized for monopolistic practices.[25] In July 2010, the company was sued by SkyRiver, a rival startup, in an antitrust suit.[26] Library automation company Innovative Interfaces joined SkyRiver in the suit.[27] The suit was dropped in March 2013, however, following the acquisition of SkyRiver by Innovative Interfaces.[28]

Hey!!! She's trying to convince us that she's new to the field! If so, dear Ms Nyxon, your confidence is truly something to be amazed at! And not only your confidence, if you know what we mean...! ;)
1) The usual first question for these things: where does your interest for all things fetish comes from? :)
I think that like most everybody else, it probably started sometime in early childhood, but of course you don't understand it or really comprehend what it is. I remember that whenever it became time for my mom to buy me shoes, I had to turn it into this whole ritual, and it used to really annoy her! First, I had to know upfront which types of shoes we were shopping for, was it sneakers or school shoes, and then I had to know what my choices were (aka- what is your budget, mom?) and then I had to deliberate and make the best pick. After selecting, I HAD to wear them home, even if they looked ridiculous with whatever outfit I was wearing. Once we got home, I had to hold them in my hands and inspect every inch of them, and whenever I was wearing them, I was always looking at them from all angles and studying how they looked on my feet. I guess it's safe to say that I had a shoe fetish growing up! I guess the rest is history, as they say.
2) What personalities on the fetish/alt scene still hold a fascination for you?
You mean like specific people? I don't know, I mean I'm still so new that everyone holds some sort of fascination for me at this point.
3) Tell us about your skills as a makeup artist: are you self-taught or did you follow a specific course?
I am mainly self-taught. I have a very artistic background, and I did a lot of painting growing up. As I got older, make-up seemed to be the medium that I liked to work with most! I worked as an artist for a very well-known global company for 6 years, and I did learn a lot from them as far as technique, symmetry, and color, but no, I did not follow any specific course.
4) You are a very busy girl in the Clips4Sale business! Tell us how one can always be inspired to shoot and keep the creative juices flowing
I get inspiration from everything around me, from music, from fashion, from art. I'm a very visual person and my mind is always working. There isn't a minute that goes by when I'm not thinking about my next step, whether it's a scenario, a hairstyle, a make-up look, or an outfit.
5) When you do a bondage photo assignment, do you need to know beforehand what the rigging will be or do you prefer to be surprised as the session goes along?
It really doesn't matter to me. I've never gotten the lowdown, so to speak, regarding a bondage shoot before it happened. I work well flying by the seat of my pants.
6) Have you ever done any elaborate shibari work? Does this hold any appeal to you?
Funny you should ask that. I just had my first shibari shoot today, and it was a lot of fun! It's something that I had been interested in, but the opportunity never arose.
7) Never-Ending Quest to Find the Truth About Latex: why does latex is so appealing to wear for any alternative model? Weve got to know!
Who cares why? It looks fuckin hot, doesn't it?
8) Is there a comic-book heroine that you would like to portray in the future?
No one I can think of...... do you have any suggestions?
9) Since youre mainly based in Pittsburgh, would you say that theres an elaborate fetish scene in your city? Do you attend a lot of fetish events yourself?
I wouldn't say that it's elaborate, but there is a scene and quite a bit going on. I would like to attend local events and see what's happening out there, but at the moment I don't have a lot of free time for that. What little bit of free time I do have is spent with my boyfriend.
10) The inevitable question: do you play a lot in your private life? Any favorite activities?
Well, if I tell you then it ceases being private, right ;)
11) You seem to travel around a bit any chance of greeting you soon in Montreal and do a little vampire bondage thing? :D
Vampire bondage photo session? That right there makes the trip worthwhile! Yes, Canada is one of many places that I hope to travel to in 2010, so if you would like to inquire about booking me, please message me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

3 common ethical dilemmas health administrators face
Being a health administrator can be like walking a tightrope — precariously balancing business needs and patients' needs. On the one hand, they must decide how to allocate resources that will positively impact revenue and efficiencies. On the other hand, those decisions must be weighed against the effects on the lives of patients in their care. All the while, they must adhere to the ethical standards of their profession when making such decisions, and ensure that health care providers who work in their facilities do the same.
"Up to 90 percent of our work as health administrators is driven by ethical considerations," says Alex Kadrie, PhD, lead faculty and mentor in the health administration program at the University of Phoenix Houston Campus. He identified three common types of ethical dilemmas faced by health administrators in their day-to-day work:
1. Conflicts of interest
"Many physicians have financial relationships with pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies that can lead them to make treatment recommendations that may not be in the best interest of the patient," says Kadrie. "That is a conflict of interest. Some medical facilities will push unnecessary tests and procedures in the interest of generating more revenue. These practices then lead to higher health care costs for everyone." Administrators at many academic medical research centers have recently prohibited physicians from entering into financial relationships with such companies due to ethical concerns, according to Kadrie.
2. Professional obligation to provide appropriate medical care versus cost management
"Health administrators often tell me that financial pressures are preventing them from adhering to our professional and ethical obligation to provide care for all," Kadrie says. The weak economy can steer nonprofit community hospitals away from treating the uninsured, and can even affect organ transplant decisions, according to Kadrie. "Some hospitals are moving people, who are willing to pay upfront cash, to the top of the waiting list for organ transplants," he says. "Health administrators need to develop systematic policies to address this issue in a transparent manner."
3. Patient autonomy
These days, more patients question or even refuse to comply with doctors' and hospitals' orders than in past eras, and that can lead to administrative challenges, according to Kadrie. "We must always consider patient autonomy when making policy decisions," he says. "Patients may refuse certain treatments or want life support terminated even when their family members do not, and that can lead to legal challenges." Further, from a business perspective, there are difficult ethical decisions to make regarding care despite what the patient or the family may want. For example, should a hospital continue using scarce health care resources to care for the terminally ill, or should it instead allocate them to treat patients who have a chance of recovery?
The current economic environment provides daunting ethical challenges for health administrators. "As health care becomes an increasingly business-focused industry, we must always remember to carefully weigh patients' best interests when making our decisions," Kadrie says. "In an age of increasing health care demand and dwindling resources, our job is not always going to be easy."

Statewide, NV., Apr 01, 2010 -- USDA Invites Rural Small Businesses and Agricultural Producers to Apply for the Rural Energy for America Program
Funds Can Be Used to Install Renewable Energy Systems and Make Energy Efficiency Improvements
WASHINGTON, April, 2010 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that USDA is seeking applications from farmers, agricultural producers and owners of rural small businesses to purchase renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements. The funding is provided through USDA Rural Development's Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), authorized by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Farm Bill).
"This funding will help owners of small rural businesses, farmers, and ranchers reduce energy consumption and conserve natural resources -- part of President Obama's effort to reduce our reliance on foreign oil and the destabilizing effects of a changing climate," Vilsack said. "Through this program, farmers and agricultural producers will be able to upgrade or replace outdated, inefficient systems in their operations. That not only saves money, it supports job creation."
Sarah Adler, State Director of USDA Rural Development for Nevada, revealed that Nevada is allocated $338,850 in grant funds and over $1.5 million in loan guarantee authority; more funding can be sought by submitting applications to the national office reserve. "The REAP program has already successfully funded wind, solar, and hydroelectric projects for both agricultural producers and small businesses in Nevada," said Adler, "and we have recently hired an Energy Coordinator in order to further assist in bringing these green dollars into our state. Whether the business or farm plans to make energy efficient improvements or generate its own power, either way it improves the bottom line and reduces consumption of fossil fuels – a win-win for business and the environment."
Applications are due June 23, 2010 to the Nevada State Office; however, if the applicant wants to get an assessment from the staff on completeness, strengths and weaknesses, it should be submitted by May 26, to Mark Williams, Energy Coordinator. Applications for $20,000 or less are easier to fund, and are strongly encourage by the May 26 date.
More information on how to apply for funding is available in the April 26, 2010 Federal Register and by contacting Williams at 775/887-1222x116 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Comstock Seed of Douglas County is a Nevada success story that has used REAP funds to reduce energy costs. Owned by Ed and Linda Kleiner, Comstock Seed uses a solar array to generate all the power it needs to run its native seed farm. The Kleiners proudly display an $8.00 monthly bill from NV Energy, which represents the only cost they pay, a mandatory administrative fee. Formerly, an average month's power bill would have been $165. NV Energy is also a partner in the project through its Renewable Generations rebate program. Comstock Seed received a $20,000 REAP grant, and funded the balance of the cost through a loan from Wells Fargo Bank, which was also guaranteed by USDA Rural Development.
Eligible projects include installing renewable energy systems such as wind turbines, solar, geothermal, biomass, anaerobic digesters, hydroelectric, and ocean, or hydrogen systems. Funding may also be used to purchase energy-efficient equipment, adding insulation, and improve heating and cooling systems. In fiscal year 2009, this program helped fund 1,485 REAP projects in 50 states, the territory of Puerto Rico and the Western Pacific Islands.
Under REAP, grants are also available to intermediaries to help owners of rural businesses and farms conduct energy audits. Eligible applicants include a unit of State, tribal, or local government; institutions of higher education; rural electric cooperatives; or a public power entity. The program is designed to provide energy audit assistance to farmers, ranchers, and rural small businesses; the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is providing similar service as well.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages more than 40 housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs through a national network of 6,100 employees located in the nation's capital and 500 national, state and local offices. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. Rural Development has an existing portfolio of more than $134 billion in loans and loan guarantees.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender. To file a complaint of discrimination, write: USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3272 (voice), or (202) 720-6382 (TDD).

I've been wanting to try Bio Sculpture gel pedicures for some time so few months ago I caved. I was a little bit nervous because I was about to spend a week in the Caribbean, which meant I'd be in the ocean, sand, and in the pool constantly. Normally, that's a recipe for pedicure disaster.
I went to Stay Polished on La Jolla Blvd in Bird Rock. The process is pretty much like a regular pedicure. Nails are cut, cuticles dealt with, etc. When it's time to paint on the color, it's obviously in a gel format. After each coat, your feet are put into one of those UV nail dryers. By the end, your nails are totally dry. So dry, at the END of the pedicure is when you get the lotion massage. My first application of Bio Sculpture took about an hour and cost $65, not including gratuity, which might make you gulp if used to a $20 pedi.
And, now I'm an addict since I can go 4-7 weeks between pedicures.
My toes looked perfect for almost seven weeks. That's FAR beyond what is normal and included my week of foot abuse in the Caribbean. They did not chip at all. One of the gels finally fell off one of my toes somewhere around week 6 1/2 so I broke down and went in for a fill. The gel grows out with your toenails which means if you have fast growing toenails, it's not going to look as good for this long. Getting a fill every 4-5 weeks is about right for me. It also helps that I have my toenails cut really short every time I get a pedicure.
When have a Bio Sculpture gel pedicure or manicure filled, it's different than filling regular gels. They actually take the Bio Sculpture off. There's no scraping involved or dust particles flying everywhere from sanding the gels. They put on gel remover that's not damaging to the nails and it takes about 10 minutes to take the Bio Sculpture gel off. In my case, it mostly just fell off. Then, the application process is repeated. Getting a fill takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes and, in my case, cost $70 not including gratuity. I just saw that a few other places in La Jolla offer it for much less, but I'm not sure if it's the same. I will find out.
There are a lot of fun color options too. I'm currently wearing purple.
I like Stay Polished in Bird Rock. They have a sign in the door that says walk-ins are welcome, but they are so busy that you really should book in advance.
