Legal system overwhelms part-time Barnstead copy trying to act as own lawyer
BARNSTEAD — Part-time Police Officer Dave Scott has lost his lawsuit against the town, the state, and the New Hampshire Police Standards and Training Council because of jurisdiction and timing issues.
Judge James O'Neill of Belknap County Superior Court ruled last week that Scott claim against the three for violating his civil rights by denying him a full-time job after he failed a portion of his physical fitness test would be dismissed because he "failed to pursue the proper avenue of review."
Scott, who is acting as his own attorney and whose initial claim stemmed from his argument that men have to perform to higher physical standards than women to do the same job, has never actually gotten a decision based on the merits of his case.
On April 5, 2012 his verbal claim to the Human Rights Commission (HRC) was denied on the same day. On April 30, 2012 he filed a written complaint with HRC as well as the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission.
The written complaint to the HRC was dismissed on May 8 because he was in the wrong jurisdiction and on September 22, 2012 his EEOC case was dismissed because it adopted the findings of the HRC, according to a brief rehash of his legal travails as written by Judge O'Neill in last week's ruling.
On November 14, 2012 Scott argued gender discrimination under Title VII against the state, the police standards and training council in the U.S. District Court of New Hampshire but it was dismissed on March 8, 2013 because the federal court determined he sued the wrong party saying he should have filed against the town, which is his employer.
On April 11, 2013, the U.S. District Court of New Hampshire declined to reconsider its decision so Scott filed suit in Belknap County Superior Court where the three respondents, the town of Barnstead, the state, and the police standards and training council all countered he was in the wrong court and needed to file a petition for a writ of certiorari (an appeal) and not a lawsuit.

Man charged with threatening to kill 2-year-old
LACONIA — A city man was ordered held on $20,000 cash-only bail in circuit court yesterday after he allegedly threatened to kill his girlfriend's two-year-old son when she said she was going to call the police during an early Wednesday morning argument.
Joseph A. Levin, 28, of 322 Union Avenue is charged with one count of felony-level criminal threatening with the use of a deadly weapon and one felony count of criminal threatening for intimidation purposes.
"If you call the cops your (explicative) son will be gone," Levin allegedly said while he was brandishing a utility blade.
In the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division yesterday, city Prosecutor James Sawyer said the woman was able to get to a neighbor's apartment and it was the neighbor who called the police. The alleged crimes took place at 4 a.m.
Affidavits said the victim told police about the incident and allowed them to search her home for the weapon. Police found a green-handled utility knife atop the refrigerator, which she identified as the one Levin allegedly used to threaten her.
The victim also told police that Levin was a "self-admitted" member of the "Crips" street gang, according to affidavits. She told police that he had threatened to kill her or have her killed in the past.
In arguing for $20,000 cash bail, Sawyer recounted Levin's criminal history that he described as lengthy and violent.
According to records from Belknap County Superior Court, Levin's record included a conviction for arson in 2007 in which Levin pleaded guilty to causing an explosion that burned a woman's car and a 2009 conviction for felony-level criminal threatening that also involved a woman, a knife, and at least one child.
Levin was sentenced to 2-to-5 years in N.H. State Prison for the arson and 1 1/2 to 3 years for the 2009 criminal threatening.
He also has multiple convictions that include simple assault, stalking, criminal mischief, theft of services, and hindering apprehension.
Kate Geraci represented Levin and argued he was indigent and unable to post any kind of cash bail. She said he would agree to any bail conditions imposed on him by the judge. Geraci said Levin disputes the charges.
Geraci said Levin has long-standing mental health problems. She said he has epilepsy from which he suffers regular grand mal seizures. She said he was close to getting some health insurance and once obtained, would be able to get an evaluation at Genesis Behavioral Health.
She said he needs medication for the epilepsy and would be unable to get it in jail.
Despite being told not to talk, Levin kept interrupting Judge Jim Carroll while he ordering cash bail and its conditions.
"Your Honor... there's no way I can post this bail. It took me two years to get Social Security (disability) and I've got all these plans to get my meds," Levin said.
Carroll said he found it impossible not to set cash bail considering the circumstances alleged by the victim and the state.
At that point, Levin asked if he could be housed in Merrimack County Jail. Carroll replied that he could speak with Geraci after the arraignment and reappear before him later if he wanted.

Automatic Step Increases Stop After 10 Years in New Contract (630)
TILTON — Automatic step increases for teachers with more than 10 years of experience will be a thing of the past in the Winnisquam Regional School District if a new collective bargaining agreement is approved at the annual school district meeting next March.
''There was a perception that teachers are getting double raises because they received both the step increases as well as cost of living increases and we wanted to deal with that,'' said Winnisquam Regional School Board Chair Michael Gagne.
Step increases are built into the salary schedules of most school districts and provide for automatic annual increases based on additional experiences. The Winnisquam School District currently has 41 steps but that will be reduced to from to 11 in the first year of the agreement and 10 the following year.
Gagne said that the agreement which was recently reached between the Winnisquam Regional School District and the Winnisquam Regional Teachers' Association also increases the starting salary for teachers by $5,000 over a three-year period.
He said that in the first year of the three-year agreement, the base pay for new teachers will increase to $34,000 and that it will increase in subsequent years to $35,205 and $36,191. Currently starting pay for a new teacher is $31,152.
'We wanted to attract more teaching candidates and retain staff by making the district's salaries competitive with those of nearby school districts,'' said Gagne.
In the first year of the new contract teachers will be advanced two steps because they are working without a contract this year. The step increases in the first year will be 3 percent of base salary for each step through step 15 and 1.94 percent of the base salary for steps 15-41.
The total "new" cost of the package agreed to will be $559,674 for the 2014-2015 school year.
a 7.25 percent increase in the district's teacher salary account.
In the second year of the contract steps 1-11 will see a three percent increase and those still on the steps will also move up one step. Those no longer on the step schedule will receive a three percent cost of living increase. Total salary increase will be $347,569 for 2015-2016, a 4.2 percent increase in the salary account.
In the final year of the contract steps 1-10 will receive a three percent increase and those who are no longer on the step schedule will receive 2.5 percent cost of living increases. Total increase will be $270,592, a 3.13 percent increase in the salary account.
A teacher on step 5 currently making $36,420 will see a salary increase to $40,129 next year, $42,598 in 2015-16 and $44,877 in 2016-17.
By contrast a teacher on step 15 currently making $47,322 will see an increase to $49,599 next year, $51,357 in 2015-16 and $52,641 the following year.
The teacher currently on step 5 will see an increase of $8,467 over the life contract while the teacher on step 15 will only see an increase of $5,319, more than $3,000 less than the teacher with 10 years less experience.
A major focus of the new contract according to Gagne and Brenda Lawrence, president of the Winnisquam Regional Teachers Association, was the "promotion of professional growth among our existing staff". The contract increases the number of teaching days from 188 to 189 in the first year and then adds another day in the second year. There is also an increase in monies made available for professional development, from $90,000 to $110,000 per year.
A new health care benefit was also added to the contract for retiring teachers. If the agreement is approved, they will be eligible to receive a $6,000 health care allowance annually for a period of five years, or until they become eligible for Medicare, whichever comes first.
"This new benefit encourages our existing staff members to remain in the district long term," said Gagne and Lawrence. "The benefit also makes retirement a reality for some of our existing staff members, with potential savings to the district, long term."

Weirs Beach Water Slide to be torn down soon
LACONIA — The Weirs Beach Water Slide, among the most venerable and visible attractions at Weirs Beach, is slated for demolition early next year.
The owner, Robert Csendes of Bedford, doing business as 45 Endicott, LLC, said yesterday that he has nearly completed an application for a demolition permit and expects to raze the facility sometime in January. He explained that the attraction is in disrepair and costly to insure or renovate.
Csendes said he intends to lease the 2.4-acre property at the corner of Endicott Street North (Rte. 3) and Lakeside Avenue overlooking the iconic Weirs Beach sign where he would construct a building to suit the needs of a long-term tenant. He indicated that he has discussed the redevelopment of the site with several interested parties. At the same time, he anticipates leasing space on the property to vendors during Motorcycle Week in June.
The water park features four slides with a 75-foot drop, several waterfalls and a 110-foot tunnel passing through what is billed as the tallest man-made volcano in the world, marked by the remains of a crashed airplane protruding from its flank. The slides wrap around an 18-hole miniature golf course that meanders through the water park. According to a city property tax card, the attraction was built in 1979.
Cesendes acquired the property for $580,000 at auction in January, 2010 after Bank of New Hampshire foreclosed on the property when Lawrence Baldi, II, whose family had owned the water park since 1995, was defrauded by Financial Resources Mortgage, Inc. of Meredith and defaulted on loans totaling $703,000. The property is currently assessed at $540,900.
The other water park at The Weirs, Surf Coaster USA, which was built at the corner of White Oaks Road and Endicott Street East in 1983, closed after the 2006 season and has been for sale ever since.

The city Corporation, Fire and Rescue Services, and Electricity Inspectorate will join hands to conduct safety audits in major buildings in the city.
The buildings will be assessed for structural safety. The respective departments will conduct the necessary inspections to ensure that the equipment for safety against fire and electric failures are functional.
The first such audit will be held at Government Medical College Hospital on February 29. Mayor K. Chandrika is expected to launch the initiative.
"The first venue was chosen because it is a lifeline unit, and we cannot afford to have any accidents there such as the fire that broke out in a Kolkata hospital," R. Viji, Project Officer, City Disaster Management Cell, said.
Periodic checks needed
As per the national safety plan, the Fire and Rescue Department issues a no-objection certificate (NOC) when a building is completed. However, the department has no authority to make periodic checks to ensure that the fire and safety norms are followed in the building. "Since there is no provision for such inspection, no effort is made for periodic maintenance of the fire and safety equipment installed in buildings. Even worse, very few persons will be aware of how to use the equipment during an emergency," Reni Lukose, Additional Division Officer, Fire and Rescue Services, said.
In case of a fire, the first few were crucial in controlling it. Hence, it became important to create awareness of using the safety equipment, he said.
Deputy Electrical Inspector K. Rajan said the inspection by his department would mainly involve checks for electrical faults in wiring and safety levels of the various electrical equipments. Awareness classes on corrections, safety procedures, and precautions would also be held.
A periodic safety audit of all the major buildings in the city would be conducted in the coming months. A detailed report of the audit would be submitted to the government.
Discussion for a flood mitigation plan was also on the cards, Ms. Viji said.

Turn on detective mode and follow the wiring to find a Riddler panel high above this caged trophy. Hit the panel with a batarang then quickly drop down before the cage closes.
Look for the soft wood panelling at the back of the confessional, near medic Adam Hamasaki. He's in the northeast corner.
Above the door to the bell tower there is a small area that you can grapple up into. From here you can see soft wood panelling on the other side of the main entrance, but on the same level. Use your line launcher to bust through it.
As you're making your way up to the bell tower from inside the church, check above this archway for a trophy. Use your batclaw to get it down.
Stand near the back door and pilot a remote batarang through the nearby electric arc, down the stairs, over the bars, and into the fusebox. This will unlock the nearby cell, which contains a trophy.
As you head up the stairs from the courthouse basement make sure to look up. There is a trophy above the door; use your grapnel to get it down.

Bank of America Confirms Recent Layoffs
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) confirmed Friday it had begun layoffs, part of a plan previously announced by CEO Brian Moynihan to eliminate 30,000 jobs at the bank "over the next few years."
"Bank of America continually reviews and assesses the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations. As a result, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to eliminate certain staff support functions in technology and operations," read an emailed statement from the bank. A spokeswoman declined to elaborate.
According to Bank of America's latest 10-K, global technology and operations is not a sales-oriented division but, like the office of the CFO, human resources and legal, it is an "enterprise control function," meaning that it has to do with "risk governance and control," functions such as "setting policies, standards and limits; providing risk reporting; monitoring for systemic risk issues"Rochdale Securities analyst Dick Bove was not overly impressed by these cuts. He hopes they are not related to risk management because, "their risk management sucks; their loan losses should tell you that." If, on the other hand, the functions are more mundane, they are not much to get excited about, according to Bove. Infrastructure and support systems "always get cut back when you're reducing the size of an entity in trouble," Bove says, however, he adds "that's not where they're going to get the big savings in people. It's getting rid of the whole foreclosure group, selling business lines. That's how you really cut people effectively, not taking 10% of the people who work in the mailroom." Bank of America has sold a host of businesses over the past year, most recently unwinding a stake in China Construction Bank, selling Spanish and Canadian credit card portfolios and announcing it will unload its U.K. credit card business. It has also sold its correspondent and wholesale mortgage businesses, among other moves. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York. Follow this writer on twitter.

BOSTON (AP) — Two people familiar with the negotiations say the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a $26.5 million, two-year contract with right-hander Ryan Dempster.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because the agreement is pending a physical.
Dempster, 35, has a 124-124 record and a 4.33 ERA in a 15-year big league career, most of it with the Marlins and Cubs.
Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington would not confirm the deal Thursday at a news conference to announce the signing of outfielder Shane Victorino.

New Study Finds THC Can Treat Parkinson's Disease
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Sat, October, 12th 2013 by THCFinder
According to a study being published in next month's issue of the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, and published online early by the National Institute of health, has found that THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) can treat Parkinson's disease.
According to the study's introduction; "Cannabinoids such as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) are neuroprotective in animal and cell culture models of Parkinson's disease (PD). In a PD cell culture model we recently demonstrated that Δ9-THC is neuroprotective through activation of the nuclear receptor peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)".
Researchers, while studying the effects of THC on these cell-culture models of Parkinson's disease, found that; "Δ9-THC resulted in significant inhibition of MPP+ induced oxidative stress". They conclude that; "Δ9-THC induces PPARγ dependent mitochondrial biogenesis, a mechanism that may be beneficial for the treatment of PD."
The study was conducted by researchers at the Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry.

Medicated French Toast Recipe (AMAZING!)
Category: Recipes | Posted on Sat, October, 12th 2013 by THCFinder
This recipe takes the wake and bake to a whole new level. French toast is a wonderful way to wake up in the morning. And what better way to greet the day than with a medicated French toast breakfast? If you follow this recipe, you can have a great breakfast that gets you stoned. Plus, you can save time by completing your morning smoke up and breakfast at the same time!
What You'll Need;
Whipped Cream
4 Eggs
2/3 Cup of Milk
1 tsp Vanilla extract
Cannabis butter
Chocolate sauce
Heat up normal butter in a pan (don't use your cannabis butter... If you add too much heat, the THC will become less strong and you won't get as stoned). Separately, combine the vanilla extract, the eggs, and the milk in a bowl and mix them together.
Now take your bread and put it in the mixture, then throw it in your normally buttered pan. Cook the toast until it is golden brown, flipping it when necessary. When the toast is done, you spread the cannabis butter all over the toast. While it would be great to cook the toast on actual butter, this is the best way to get the best result of being stoned after you eat the toast. By thoroughly coating the toast with butter, you'll still get high. Now, you can add your whipped cream, chocolate sauce, maybe some cinnamon, or possibly even some fruit if you prefer. This breakfast is amazing and guaranteed to be a good start to your day.

Study reveals ancient greenhouse gas emissions
Centuries before the Industrial Revolution or the recognition of global warming, the ancient Roman and Chinese empires were already producing powerful greenhouse gases through their daily toil, according to a new study.
The burning of plant matter to cook food, clear cropland and process metals released millions of tons of methane gas into the atmosphere each year during several periods of pre-industrial history, according to the study, published Thursday in the journal Nature.

Member Suggestions Wanted for Article contest - page 3
We've had several great article contest (see previous winners), and for our next contest, I'd love to hear from you to see what nursing theme(s) you would like to see. Here are previous themes we've done already: Critical... Read More
- 0Jul 22, '08 by loulourunnerFor purely selfish reasons....:wink2: article about successful re-entry into nursing practice after being out for more than 5 years. I need guidance!
- 0Jul 22, '08 by shorthair WIPlease explain why state board exams are necessary and not just an interview along with certificates. I dislike exams.
- 3Jul 23, '08 by Effie, RNI like "how nursing has changed us", "patient who has changed us", what's happened to nursing standards. I'd also like something on how we as nursing professionals can help each other more...you know, stop "eating our young"???
- 0Jul 23, '08 by aedis_aegyptialso, i would like to read about falling into romantic love with one of our patients? its a reality...how could we deal with it? :redpinkhe
what is you are a black, and you were tasked to deal with a racist patient???
- 1Jul 24, '08 by llg Guide1. A topic on why we chose our particular specialties, or job roles might produce some good articles.
2. How our view of the nursing profession has changed since the day we started nursing school could be interesting. People at different stages of their careers would produce very different articles and viewpoints.
3. Our hopes and dreams either for ouselves as nurses -- or for the profession as a whole.
- 0Jul 24, '08 by psalmIt would be great to have the three winners all about long term care nursing; the challenges in nursing care of the person with multiple diagnoses; the chronically ill patient; or certain populations, ie, sickle cell crisis patients; gender issues (transgender pts., lesbian health care, etc).
- 1Jul 24, '08 by cjcsoon2brn, BSN, RNMaybe its just me but a lot of these ideas seem like great discussion topics but I am not sure if they would make great articles or not. A few ideas I had that would allow for a few more applications would be.
- What inspired you to become a nurse.
- The trials and tribulations of nursing school.
- A patient that changed your life or how you think about nursing.
I really like the "What inspired you to become a nurse" prompt because it lets you tell a story and sure you will get some of those "I wanted to help people" kind of stories but I think you will also get some really inspiring stories that remind people why they are getting into or have been in this profession.

2014 NFL Draft Picks By Team: Vikings
Round 1, Pick 9 Anthony Barr, LB, UCLARanked #14 in our Top 100 Prospects List
Great all-around linebackers are always difficult to come by. The NFL is becoming more and more dependent on specialists at every position. Players who fit a particular scheme or even just a single position. Barr is a prospect who could feasibly do it all and offer something special in a 4-3 or a 3-4. He can stand up or put his hand in the turf. An excellent athlete who will eventually play the edge rusher role as an outside linebacker. Barr opted to return to UCLA for his senior year. He was already looking like a standout at that time and a potential second round pick according to my evaluation. Another year to learn the nuances of the game was a wise choice. Barr had spent his first two years as an H-back and special teams player. He really came into his own in 2012 when he was moved to outside linebacker. The 21-year-old possesses excellent size, length and speed. He has a frame which offers him a lot of groom to grow. He bends easily and can work the outside edge with his agility. Seems to have a knack for taking great lines of pursuit. Really long arms. Doesn't have great hand work or placement. Relies too much on athleticism and must learn to scrap and battle. Great b... [Read More]
Round 1, Pick 32 Teddy Bridgewater, QB, LouisvilleRanked #20 in our Top 100 Prospects List
Bridgewater took college football by storm in 2012; while his 2013 season was nearly just as good (if not better), there was some disappointment due to a mid-season loss to UCF that knocked Louisville out of National Championship contention. In his junior season, Bridgewater enjoyed many statistical improvements. He threw half as many interceptions and more passing TDs. His completion percentage improved slightly as well. Bridgewater shows excellent pocket awareness and poise. Seems to know every play and nuance in the playbook. Could be better with his footwork. Seems to be a bit overconfident in his ability to make plays when on the move, although he does not throw it up carelessly into double coverage. Excellent arm strength and steps into his throws. Accuracy is also very good and often hits players in the numbers. Can maintain velocity when feet are not set. Feels his way through the pocket and anticipates the rush well. Eyes are always locked downfield, even with an impending rush coming his way. Adequate touch on short to intermediate routes. No issues making every throw. Sometimes will try to muscle it into tight spaces. Quick decision making. Delivers the football w... [Read More]
Round 3, Pick 8 Scott Crichton, DE, Oregon StateRanked #39 in our Top 100 Prospects List
Crichton looks like an ideal 4-3 DE at the next level. He has adequate size and a nice burst coming off the edge. He has some limited experience playing inside, so there is a long-term potential for him to grow into a 3-4 DE, assuming he adds the necessary weight over the coming years. An excellent anchor at the end of the line. Doesn't penetrate into the backfield often enough, but strong enough to not be pushed around and hold down his assignments. Good, but not great first step burst off the snap. Really good hand use and ability to disengage from blockers. Above-average speed, but certainly not a guy who will need to rely solely on a speed rush. Uses hands to his advantage and will punch into the chest to create separation. Stays on assignment. Good vision and ability to change directions using a variety of pass-rush moves. Good back/waist bend when hitting the edge rush. Extremely physical and aggressive. Really good motor. Doesn't give up on plays and shows a good backside pursuit. Above-average ability to weave through traffic to make a play on the ball. Crichton projects as a second round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.... [Read More]
Round 3, Pick 32 Jerick McKinnon, RB, Georgia SouthernNo Scouting Report
Round 5, Pick 5 David Yankey, G , StanfordRanked #73 in our Top 100 Prospects List
A trend of guards pushing their way into the first round has taken hold over the last few years. Yankey could be the next to accomplish such a feat, but if not, he still is a very talented and powerful lineman who should have a long, solid career. Yankey anchored Stanford's offensive line last year and although he did play tackle at times in his collegiate career, most NFL scouts are in agreement his future is at guard. He doesn't quite have the necessary quickness or foot speed to handle edge rushers. Great in-line run blocker and drives defenders off their mark with superior power. Uses and understands how to get leverage, but could be a bit more consistent with staying low later in games. Elite football instincts. High intelligence. Always on assignment and can quickly diagnose defensive fronts. Good heavy punch when in pass protection. Must continue to improve against faster pass-rushers. A bit heavy footed at times and will lumber in open spaces. Excellent nasty streak. Vicious, mauler's attitude in the trenches. Yankey projects as a late second or early third rounder in the 2014 NFL Draft.... [Read More]

Hersha Hospitality Trust Closes On Non-Core Portfolio Sale
Hersha Hospitality Trust (NYSE:HT)("Hersha" or "the Company"), owner of upscale hotels in urban gateway markets, announced that the Company has closed on the sale of 12 of 16 hotels included within the non-core hotel portfolio the Company previously announced in September 2013. The sale of the 12 hotels generated gross proceeds, prior to customary closing and transaction costs payable by the Company, of approximately $158.6 million. Proceeds from the sale of the 12 hotels were used to repay approximately $33.0 million of mortgage debt.
Hersha has continued to effectively recycle capital and reinvest the proceeds from the non-core portfolio sale into higher growth assets on the West Coast and in Miami. The Company recently announced that it entered into agreements to purchase the Hotel Oceana in Santa Barbara and the Autograph Portfolio in Miami's South Beach. Additionally, the Company continues to consider stock buybacks as a use of proceeds under its previously announced stock re-purchase program.
The Company expects to complete the sale of the remaining four hotels by the end of the first quarter of 2014, pending completion of the CMBS loan assumption process. However, no assurance can be given that these hotels will be sold within the expected time frame or at all. When the remaining four hotels are sold, the non-core portfolio sale will complete Hersha's portfolio transformation into a pure play urban transient-focused collection of hotels with exposure to some of the highest demand gateway markets in the United States.
Hersha Hospitality Trust (HT) is a self-advised real estate investment trust in the hospitality sector, which owns and operates high quality upscale hotels in urban gateway markets. The Company's 50 hotels totaling 7,900 rooms are located in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Miami and select markets on the West Coast. The Company's shares are traded on The New York Stock Exchange-Euronext under the ticker "HT". For more information on the Company, and the Company's hotel portfolio, please visit the Company's website at www.hersha.com.Forward Looking Statement This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the expected timing with respect to the sale of the remaining four hotels in the non-core hotel portfolio, and, as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statement. For a description of these factors, please review the information under the heading "Risk Factors" included in Hersha Hospitality Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission.

Reports » Asia
Asian stock market, economy and companies update (March 04, 2014)
Asian and European trading sessions:
Euro: Rate of the euro retreated from the maximum values ??against the dollar, while returning to the levels of the session. Little support was data on index of industrial activity, but interest in him was short-lived, and attention gradually began to switch to U.S. reports, which caused the fall of the euro currency. Recall that the growth in the eurozone manufacturing sector weakened in February, but lesser expected than previously. This was stated in the final data, which were published earlier today by Markit Economics. According to the report, the seasonally adjusted purchasing managers' index for the manufacturing fell to 53.2 in February from 54 in January, the highest reading in 32 months. The decline in February was the first in five months. Result was also slightly higher than previously estimated - at 53 points. The index currently remains above the mark of 50 points, which separates growth from contraction for the eighth consecutive month. We also learned that the manufacturing sector continued to show growth in Germany in February, and have expanded more than initially expected. According to the report , the manufacturing purchasing managers index from Markit / BME fell to 54.8 points in February from January's 32-month high of 56.5 . The originally was reported on the significance of this indicator at the level of 54.7 points. The index remained above the neutral mark of 50 points for the eighth consecutive month. The EUR / USD pair fell to $ 1.3759 during the European session.
British Pound: The pound showed sharp fluctuations against the dollar, but in general, was trading in a small range. On the dynamics of trade influenced the British data, which showed that the UK manufacturing sector continued its expansion in February, registering with several large paces than in the previous month. It became known from the survey results, which were released Markit Economics and the Royal Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS). According to the report, the seasonally adjusted purchasing managers' index for the manufacturing sector rose in February to a level of 56.9, compared with 56.6 in January, the figure for which was revised down from 56.7. A reading above 50 indicateed an increase in activity, while a drop below indicates contraction. The index currently remains above the neutral point of the eleventh month in a row. The GBP / USD pair traded in the range of $ 1.67650 -$ 1.67550 during the European session.
Japanese Yen: The yen rose against all major currencies as a result of increased demand for safe-haven currencies, after entering the Russian armed forces on the territory of Ukraine. It was learned that U.S. Secretary of State tomorrow John Kerry will travel to Kiev to meet with Ukrainian leaders and offer support. Tension in the region has reached its peak since the "cold war". The USD / JPY pair dropped to Y101.20 during the European session.
American trading session:
U.S. Dollar: The U.S. dollar strengthened against major currencies on the back of strong U.S. macro data. U.S. consumer spending rose in January, more than forecast, together with a sharp increase in income, which increased the likelihood that the biggest part of the economy can sustain growth in early 2014. This was stated in the report, which was submitted to the Ministry of Commerce. According to consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 % of the economy, rose in January by 0.4 % after a 0.1 % increase in the previous month, which was revised to 0.4 %. Experts predicted that the value of this index will rise by only 0.2 %. We also add that the amount of consumer income increased by 0.3 %, after a zero change in December. As it was expected the revenues will grow by 0.2%. Today's report confirms recent data that indicate that Americans are beginning to overcome the effect of the severe winter, and confidence in the world's largest economy will grow.
Manufacturing activity in the U.S. rebounded in February after it's weakening due to the weather in January, although production decreased. This was published by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). According to the report, the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for the manufacturing U.S. in February rose to 53.2 after an unexpected decline to a minimum of 51.3 in January. Index value above 50 indicates growth in the sector of activity. Economists had expected the index to rise in February to 52.3. In turn, the final data from Markit showed that business conditions in the U.S. manufacturing sector improved in February compared with the previous month, and were slightly higher than those reported in the initial assessment. Corresponding PMI rose to 57.1 points, compared with a final reading for January at 53.7, and a preliminary estimate at around 56.7.
Gold: The Gold prices rose more than 1 % because of the worsening situation in the Crimea. The cost of the April gold futures rose to $ 1354.50 per ounce on the COMEX today.
Oil: Prices for crude oil West Texas Intermediate rose to its highest level since September. April futures price for U.S. light crude oil WTI rose to $ 105.25 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Step 1: Safety
Step 2: What will you need
-17 hard papers (I used 210gsm paper. (gsm = gramms per square meter). I tried 250gsm paper too, but it was too hard and it couldn't suck the resin in.
-Technokol Universal glue
-Polyester resin
-fiberglass cloth
-resin based filler
-metallic gold spray paint
-rally red spray paint
-sand papers (60, 120, 360)
-6 LEDs
-a small switch
-2 batteries
-a battery holder
-soldering wire
-electrical tape
-a piece of transparent plastic (for the eyes)
-two pieces of wood (10cmx2,5cm)
-small magnets
The tools:
-hot glue gun
-soldering iron
-scalpel or scissors
-engraver (isn't necessary)
Always wear respirator while you are working with resin, paint or you are sanding! Fumes and dust can damage you lung, if you are not careful enough.
Step 3: Printing and cutting the parts
After you have printed you have to cut the staight lines out (don't cut the interrupted lines). You can use scissors or scalpel.
If someone knows how to use pepakura here is a link where you can download the pdo file: http://www.4shared.com/file/Kd2YFv88/IronmanA4.htm
How would you put the parts together, are there numbers that correspond with each other?
Do you have pep file?
A good job, I'm impressed
ok first of all. awesome. second. i used the file.but when i made it. it was too small. i made it bigger. but still. its too small
Hi Can you tell me the dimensions of this helmet. Is there any guidelines on how to scale up the size of the helmet. Really appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.
how much time you took to finish this helmet ?
I printed it out last week and just finished it today. Only working on it a couple hours a day though.
Ten out of ten !!!!! ;-)
could you please share the .PDO file with me as well? email@example.com
Can you please show me or have a tutorial on how to cut. Thanks
Do you cut where the dotted line is?
Too bad I can't make a motorcycle helmet like this!
Great instructable......
yes you could. you can use the bandages that come ready, as for casting a broken arm, or the powder to mix with water.
Love the instructable geq1! Just have a question. Do you know what sections form up the back section of the helmet that way I can set those aside for a later section of the project. Im making a customized version of this helmet for a custom character for a convention Im going to and not 100% sure i want the lower section of the back. Any information would be helpful! Thanks.
Thanks, and good job! :)
Thanks a lot =D
"The first layer should be only resin on the outside of the helmet. The next layer should be resin with fiberglass in the inside. Then add two or three more layers of fiberglass with resin to the inside."
Did you mean for one of those to be on the OUTSIDE? Or is there only fiberglass on the inside of the helmet?
Thanks again!

I absolutely love this ring and I wore it a lot while working at the Renaissance faire (not supposed to but shhh) and an absolute TON of people loved it when I showed them and I even recommended it to a lot of people and sent them to where I got it. Overall it is truly amazing and I love it very much, Spiderman and Ironman are my favorite super heros =D.
i love the design but the ring comes in a smaller size then what it actually says as its size. I ordered mine as a size 8 & it came as like a size 7 so im kind of disappointed.

The Art of Local Book Promotion
With Amazon.com, social networking, and literary blogs connecting writers virtually with readers, it's easy to forget local ways to reach new readers.
In this video interview with New York Round Table Writers' Conference panelist Stephanie Dickinson, the author explained her local approach to promoting "Half Girl"–taking her book to schools in Iowa.
She's not the only writer with a local focus. Authors Bob Burg and John David Mann took their motivational tome, "The Go-Giver," to school, coordinating with a teacher at Valapraiso, Indiana's Wheeler High School.
