Development and Filming[edit]
The Amazing Race 10 spanned 40,000 miles (64,000 km) and covered 4 continents and 13 countries, making this the season with the most number of countries visited. Amongst them, 6 were previously unvisited countries, including Mongolia, Kuwait, Mauritius, Madagascar, Finland and Ukraine. None of those countries have been visited since. It was also the first season to (nearly) circumnavigate the globe in a generally westwardly fashion, crossing the Pacific Ocean in the first leg and crossing the Atlantic on the final leg. Most other seasons tranversed the globe in a generally eastwardly direction.
The Amazing Race 10 saw the show's very first double elimination when in one leg, it eliminated 2 teams: one halfway through the leg, and the other at the end. It also introduced a new race marker: the Intersection. It involved having two teams work together for all future tasks until otherwise instructed. If no other team was available when one team read the Intersection clue, they were required to wait for another team to show up before proceeding. The Intersection was also shown in conjunction with a Fast Forward, with the first team pairing to win to earn the Fast Forward for both teams.
Additionally, the penalty for coming in last on a non-elimination leg was also changed. Instead of being stripped of money and possessions, the last place team was Marked for elimination. This means that at the following leg, they need to be in first place or else they will be issued a 30-minute penalty at the mat, possibly allowing teams finishing behind them to overtake them in the final placings for that leg.
During the Vietnam legs, all route markers were colored yellow and white rather than red and yellow so as to avoid confusion with the flag of the former independent state of South Vietnam. The 2nd Vietnamese leg was also the first time in race history in which teams received race money in local currency.
Episode 4 which contained Leg 4 was selected by CBS for The Amazing Race nomination in the 2007 Emmy Awards,[1] and garnered five total nominations, including one for the Outstanding Reality-Competition Program. The episode won the latter award, winning for the show its fifth Outstanding Reality-Competition Award in a row.
Applications were accepted through January 20, 2006 (one week later than the original deadline). Semi-finalist interviews occurred in late February/early March, followed by finalist interviews in Los Angeles during late March and early April. Filming ran from May 27, 2006 to June 24, 2006.
The cast of The Amazing Race 10 was increased to 12 teams for the first time since Season 4. It included best friends, a couple, college cheerleaders, boyfriends, brothers, a team member with a prosthetic leg, recovered drug addicts, beauty pageant queens, and a pair of single mothers.
Lyn and Karlyn made history by becoming the first all-female team to make the final 3.
Dustin and Kandice along with David and Mary were selected to race in The Amazing Race All-Stars among a cast of returning teams from seasons 1 – 10. David and Mary also appeared on The View where they received gifts from the show, including vacations, a Ford Explorer, and a new house.[2] Jamie was later crowned Miss South Carolina USA 2008, and competed in the Miss USA Pageant in Las Vegas on April 11, 2008.[3]
While Peter & Sarah were portrayed as a newly dating and bickering couple on the race (to the extent that Sarah "broke up" with Peter during their elimination in Kuwait), Sarah revealed that they were friends whose "dating" was non-existent and created to give them an interesting storyline.[4]
The following teams participated in the Race, each listed along with their placements in each leg and relationships as identified by the program.

- A red team placement indicates that the team was eliminated.
- An underlined blue team's placement indicates that the team came in last on a non-elimination leg of the race and was "Marked for Elimination"; if the team did not finish 1st on the next leg, they would receive a 30-minute penalty.
- A green ƒ indicates that the team won a Fast Forward clue.
- Matching colored symbols (pink +, brown ^, and magenta ~) indicate teams who worked together during part of the leg as a result of an Intersection.
- A yellow > means that team chose to use the Yield; < indicates the team who received it; <> indicates a leg where the Yield was available but not used.
- ^ Bilal & Sa'eed were the last team to arrive at the Meridian Gate in Forbidden City and were eliminated as per the provisions were given at the start of the race (see below).
- ^ Kellie took, but failed to complete, the Roadblock in Leg 2. Already in last, Kellie & Jamie then checked into the Pit Stop, without issuing a 4-hour penalty because they came in last place and were eliminated.
- ^ Tom & Terry initially arrived 2nd, but were issued a 30-minute penalty for traveling on motorcycles, which had been specifically prohibited for safety reasons. As Tom & Terry were waiting out their penalty, Tyler & James, Rob & Kimberly, Dustin & Kandice, Peter & Sarah, Lyn & Karlyn, and David & Mary checked in, dropping Tom & Terry to 8th.
- ^ Because David & Mary finished 1st, their 30-minute "marked for elimination" penalty was nullified.
- ^ During the leg, Peter & Sarah had fallen so far behind that all the other teams had already checked into the Pit Stop before Peter & Sarah even arrived at the Detour. When they finally found their next Route Marker at Souk Sulabiya, instead of performing the Detour, Peter & Sarah were instructed to go directly to the Pit Stop, where they were eliminated.
- ^ Leg 7 featured an unaired Roadblock. It is unknown who completed the Roadblock from Erwin & Godwin and David & Mary. [5]
- ^ Due to an Intersection, Tyler & James and Rob & Kimberly were able to work together to complete the Fast Forward, thus both teams were able to skip all remaining tasks and head directly to the Pit Stop.
- ^ David & Mary initially arrived 5th, but were issued a 30-minute penalty for being "marked for elimination" and not arriving 1st. As David & Mary were waiting out their penalty, Lyn & Karlyn checked in, dropping David & Mary to last place and eliminating them.
- ^ Leg 9 was double-length, with two Detours and two Roadblocks, shown over two episodes. The placements listed in the first column reflect the order teams arrived at the leg's halfway point.
- ^ Dustin & Kandice had been "marked for elimination;" however, since Dustin & Kandice arrived at the Pit Stop in last place, they were eliminated without the 30-minute penalty being issued.

In the first Detour, teams had to decide between Swamp This or Swamp That. Both options are methods by which Finnish athletes keep themselves in shape during the warmer months. In Swamp This, teams have to put a pair of cross country skis through bog, and trudge through a 1 mile (1.6 km) course in a muddy field. In Swamp That, teams had to take an obstacle course through bog. They needed to crawl, climb and carry each other, then proceed to the finish line to get their next clue. The Roadblock for this half of the leg was to ride a bike down a steep hill and search the Lohja mine for a marked dig site and get a piece of limestone. Then, after attaching the limestone to their bike, they had to go back to the start point and had to use tools to break it open to get their next clue which was inside the limestone.
On the second half of the leg, the Roadblock consisted of taking a Soviet T-64 Tank through a one and a half mile oval-shaped training course used for simulated military exercises in Ukraine's premiere tank school. Once they successfully completed the course, the officer would hand out their next clue. The second Detour was a choice between Make the Music or Find the Music.[7] In Make the Music, teams traveled 3 miles (4.8 km) to Dance & Groove, a hip hop/dance club in Kyiv and had to perform a rap song incorporating the names of all of the nations visited so far on the Race. The judge would approve their show and give them their next clue. In Find the Music, the teams had to go 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the Ukrainian National Music Academy. Once there, they had to search through thousands of pieces of sheet music for Tchaikovsky's Concert Fantasy for Piano and Orchestra. When they had the correct music, they needed to search 120 practice rooms for one of six pianists to perform the piece for them. Once the pianist completed the piece, they would get their next clue. In both Detours, teams had to dress up to blend in with the people.
- Additional tasks
- At the Kappeli Cafe, teams had to log onto their AOL e-mail to get an e-mail clue from their families.
- At the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, teams had to do a face first rappel known as an Angel Dive down the Helsinki Olympic Tower.

In Throw It, teams traveled 4 miles (6.4 km) to Guedara to a pottery shop where they had to make two clay pots. The potter would give them their next clue once the pots were made to his specifications. In Grind It, teams traveled 4 miles (6.4 km) towards Ouarzazate to North Africa Horse. They had to choose crushing mills use to grind 77 pounds (35 kg) of olives and pack them into bags. When they have properly crushed the olives with pressure bags, the olive miller would give them their next clue. Each Detour selection only had three workstations, which were first come-first serve. After completing the Detours, teams drove on the road to Marrakech until they reached a marker, where they turned off into the desert to the camp that served as the Pit Stop.

Once they finished, the chef would give them their next clue. In this leg's Detour, teams between choose Lug It or Lob It. In Lug It, teams had to get into giant costumes known as "gigantes y cabezudos" and then walk a distance along Las Ramblas to over a mile in them to find a female giant in Plaça de Sant Felip Neri (Spanish) to receive their next clue. In Lob It, teams had to travel to Colònia Güell and took part in a tomato festival. They had to search a giant pile of tomatoes and find one with a clue inside.

Once finished, the person who did the Roadblock was taken to Bayeux train station in a military jeep. While the non-participating member took the taxi and reunited with their partner. In the last Detour of the race, teams had to choose between Art and Fashion. In Art, they had to go to an art studio, pick up a painting, and then take the painting through the streets of Paris to a painter who was waiting on a landing by the Seine to complete (Quai d'Orleans, Pont de la Tournelle is seen in the background).

09/23/14 Financial Times
If anyone needs convincing about the scale of Mexico's ambitions on the global stage, they need look no further than plans for a glittering $9bn airport. Big, bold and beautiful, the proposed hub is the embodiment of the government's latest slogan of a "Mexico on the move", a country with nearly a dozen transformational reforms under its belt, promising to deliver more competition and better productivity to one of the world's most up-and-coming markets. The government will launch a revamped global brand next month to cement its image as an enticing trade and tourism power. But internationally, the message is already getting through – and not just to investors. A number of high-profile recent visits, including from potential 2016 US presidential rivals Hillary Clinton and Chris Christie, as well as Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, underscore Mexico's growing presence.

Remember that you are in the body, but you are not the body; let that be a continuous awareness in you. You live in the body, and the body is a beautiful abode. Remember, I am not for a single moment hinting that you become anti-body, that you start denying the body as the so-called spiritualists have done down the ages. The materialists go on thinking that the body is all that is, and there are people who move to the opposite extreme, and they start saying that the body is illusory, the body is not! "Destroy the body so the illusion is destroyed, and you can become really real."
This other extreme is a reaction. The materialist creates his own reaction in the spiritualist, but they are partners in the same business; they are not very different people. The body is beautiful, the body is real, the body has to be lived, the body has to be loved. The body is a great gift of God. Not for a single moment be against it, and not for a single moment think that you are only it. You are far bigger. Use the body as a jumping board.
The second is: psychosomatic, svadisthan. Freudian psychoanalysis functions there. It goes a little higher than Skinner and Pavlov. Freud enters into the mysteries of the psychological a little bit more. He's not just a behaviorist, but he never goes beyond dreams. He goes on analyzing the dreams.
The dream exists as an illusion in you. It is indicative, it is symbolic, it has a message from the unconscious to be revealed to the conscious. But there is no point in just getting caught in it. Use the dream, but don't become the dream. You are not the dream.
And there is no need to make so much fuss about it, as Freudians go on making. Their whole effort seems to be moving in the dimension of the dream world. Take note of it, take a very, very clear standpoint about it, understand its message, and there is no need really to go to anybody else for your dream analysis. If you cannot analyze your dream nobody else can, because your dream is your dream. And your dream is so personal that nobody else can dream the way you dream. Nobody has ever dreamed the way you dream, nobody will ever dream the way you dream; nobody can explain it to you. His interpretation will be his interpretation. Only you can look into it. And in fact there is no need to analyze the dream: look at the dream in its totality, with clarity, with alertness, and you will see the message. It is so loud! There is no need to go for psychoanalysis for three, four, five, seven years.
A person who is dreaming every night, and in the day is going to the psychoanalyst to be analyzed, becomes by and by surrounded by dreamy-stuff. Just as the first becomes too much obsessed with the muladhara, the physical, the second becomes too much obsessed with the sexual.because the second - the realm of psychosomatic reality - is sex. The second starts interpreting everything in terms of sex. Whatsoever you do, go to the Freudian and he will reduce it to sex. Nothing higher exists for him. He lives in the mud, he does not believe in the lotus. You bring a lotus flower to him, he will look at it and reduce it to the mud. He will say, "This is nothing, this is just dirty mud. Has it not come out of dirty mud? If it has come out of dirty mud then it has to be dirty mud." Reduce everything to its cause, and that is the real.

The Walrus HostelLondon, England
The water pressure in the showers wasn't very good, and the mattress was the most uncomfortable I've ever slept on. However the location was great, the breakfast was good and the staff were amazing, the combination of which more than made up for any other issues. I'd definitely recommend it.
Generator VeniceVenice, Italy
The location wasn't particularly convenient, although catching the water bus everyday was cool. Bathrooms were clean and the beds comfortable, plus it was nice the have a personal light switch and power plug. The staff weren't friendly or particularly helpful, but they weren't horrible either.
Academy HostelFlorence, Italy
The location was super convenient, although the loud church bells every morning did lose their novelty. The non-bunk beds were a welcome change and the rooms were clean. Breakfast and food in the evening were a great bonus. The day time lock out seems a bit ridiculous and outdated, but wasn't too much of a hassle. Definitely worth staying at.
Giovanni's HomeNaples, Italy
Giovanni was a fantastic host, I felt like I was a guest in his home, not just a paying hostel customer. He looked after me and was a wealth of information on the city. The location was really convenient, close to the metro and lots of places of interest. Although I did feel safe, my only complaint would be that the doors to the rooms don't have locks, and there are no lockers available.
Urbany Hostel BarcelonaBarcelona, Spain
Probably the worst hostel breakfast I've ever had. The variety was fine, but the quality was terrible. The location was pretty inconvenient for sightseeing, although the surrounding neighbourhood was nice. The beds were comfortable and the ensuite bathrooms were clean and quite nice. The kitchen was disgusting and not well equipped. I wouldn't recommend it for solo or long term travellers.

La Posada de HuertasMadrid, Spain
The location was great, the rooms were spacious and airy and the beds quite comfortable. The staff were helpful, but not very friendly to non-Spanish speakers. There wasn't really a nice common area to meet people. The kitchen was fairly unpleasant, the facilities in there usually dirty and only plastic plates, bowls and cutlery provided. The bathrooms were clean but the almost clear shower screens were a bit uncomfortable.
The Garden BackpackerSeville, Spain
The staff were lovely and very helpful, especially Valentina. The location was quite convenient, the city is reasonably small and everywhere was walkable. The bathrooms were clean and kitchen was fairly well equipped. The walking tour was also quite good, it covered the major sights and was interesting and informative. Only complaint would be the bedding. The mattress was thin and uncomfortable, and the duvet was old and worn, plus it wasn't big enough to cover my whole body (and I'm not tall).
Home Lisbon HostelLisbon, Portugal
I think Home Hostel has ruined other hostels for me for life. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the beds were super comfortable, bathrooms were impeccably clean, the atmosphere was great, particularly in the living room, and Mama's dinner was fantastic - both for the food and opportunity to meet people. It was basically like staying in a hotel, or your own home. I would recommend to everyone, but especially long term solo travellers.
KEX HostelReykjavik, Iceland
The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean, location was great and very convenient. While the decor of the place was very cool, it was sometimes at the cost of function - for example the vintage shower heads didn't make for a very good shower, and the whole place was quite dimly lit (my room had no lighting apart from small lamps on beds). Also wasn't fan of the communal showers. Overall a nice place though.


text: Wow how the mighty have fallen. Okay, maybe mighty isn't exactly the best descriptive word for the Kardashian family, but whatever it is that they used to be- they are a shadow of it now. If you go back in time even just a year or two they had a series of successful reality shows, merchandise flying off the shelves in various places and relationships that were kind of sort of okay. Now it's just a big hot mess with Keeping Up With the Kardashian's ratings circling the drain, endorsement deals disappearing and love lives running cold.

Results tagged "Olympic Park Legacy Company"
Three men have admitted illegally obtaining personal data following allegations by West Ham United and the Olympic Park Legacy Company.
Richard Michael Forrest, 31, of Furzefield in Crawley, Lee Stewart, 40, of More Lane in Esher and Howard Hill, 59, from Shrigley Road South in Stockport, Cheshire, pleaded guilty on Friday.
The "most important regeneration project in 25 years" has moved a step closer after planning applications were made for the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Family housing, transport links and open spaces are at the heart of the application lodged today by the Olympic Park Legacy Company for 64 hectares of the site that will be the centrepiece of next year's Games.
There's just one week left for people to make their mark on London's history by suggesting names for five new neighbourhoods to be built on the Olympic Park.
The "Your Park, Your Place" scheme was launched in March, and names suggested so far include Redgravia, Hoy Gateway and Olympic Park Hill.
Tottenham Hotspur's lawyers have sent requests for information to the parties involved in awarding the Olympic Stadium to West Ham United after the Games.
Despite earlier reports, the north club denied that it had launched legal proceedings against the groups but said it will "determine its next step as and when it receives a response".
The Olympic Park is to share a postcode with Walford, the fictional borough of east London in the BBC soap EastEnders.
Royal Mail's Address Management Unit, which manages a database of over 1.75 million UK postcodes, has created the new E20 postcode to accommodate the Olympic Park site which falls across four London boroughs.

Counter-Strike: GO update is live with matchmaking fixes, new maps
That major Counter-Strike: Global Offensive update is now live on Steam, bringing with it two new maps: Monastery and Vertigo, as seen above.
The update also brings with it two new features, the first of which replaces the current competitive matchmaking system, "join in progress," with a queued matchmaking mode. The second feature allows players who disconnect from a match to rejoin or abandon it from the main menu, with abandonment resulting in a cooldown period during which the player can't enter another competitive match.
Other fixes include lowering p90, SMG and Bizon kill awards from 300 percent to 200 percent, streamlining the reload animation, fixing a hardware performance exploit, lowering grenade bounce and tons more, all outlined after the break direct from Valve.
-Replaced Competitive mode "Join in Progress" matchmaking system with "Queued" matchmaking.
-Searching for a Competitive game, either from "Find a Game" or "Play with Friends," will enter the player/s ( between 1 and 5 ) into a waiting queue. Once 10 compatible players are found then the game will begin.
-Players that disconnect from a match can reconnect to it from the main menu or abandon it. Abandoning a game will result in a cooldown period during which no new competitive match can be joined.
-Note: Elo will be recalibrated for the new matchmaking system over the coming weeks.
-New maps:
-de_vertigo is now available for Classic Casual and Classic Competitive.
-ar_monastery is now available for Arms Race.

-Reduced other SMG kill awards from 300% of default to 200%.
-Increased Bizon kill award from default to 200%.
-Reduced all shotguns' price by 300.
-Guns are now considered "reloaded" at the point during the reload animation in which they visually appear to be reloaded - this allows you to switch away from a gun after the new magazine has been entered without having to wait until the whole reload animation has finished * the weapon refire delay after starting a reload is not affected.
-Fixed HUD not showing during demo playback.
-Changes to Matchmaking Lobby
-Removed global Join Button and added Join Buttons for individual friends in the Invite Friends section.

CYS Investments, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
(2) The Company's average repurchase agreements for the period were calculated by averaging the month end repurchase agreements balance during the period.
(3) The Company's average net assets for the period were calculated by averaging the month end net assets during the period.
(4) Our average common shares outstanding was calculated by averaging the daily common shares outstanding during the period.
(5) The Company's average yield on Agency RMBS for the period was calculated by dividing interest income from Agency RMBS by average Agency RMBS.(6) The Company's average cost of funds and hedge for the period was calculated by dividing total interest expense, including net swap and cap interest income (expense), by average repurchase agreements. (7) The Company's interest rate spread net of hedge for the period was calculated by subtracting average cost of funds and hedge from average yield on Agency RMBS. (8) The Company's operating expense ratio is calculated by dividing operating expenses by average net assets. (9) The Company's leverage ratio was calculated by dividing (i) the Company's repurchase agreements balance plus payable for securities purchased minus receivable for securities sold by (ii) net assets. * All percentages are annualized. Prepayments The portfolio recorded $651.7 million in scheduled and unscheduled principal repayments and prepayments, which equated to a constant prepayment rate ("CPR") of approximately 18.1% and net amortization of premium of $22.7 million for the second quarter of 2012. This compared to $543.2 million in scheduled and unscheduled principal repayments and prepayments, which equated to a CPR of approximately 17.2% and net amortization of premium of $16.9 million for the first quarter of 2012. The increase in prepayments and repayments occurred due to a further decrease in mortgage interest rates during the second quarter of 2012. Dividend The Company declared a common dividend of $0.50 per share with respect to the second quarter of 2012, the same as for the first quarter of 2012. Using the closing share price of $13.77 on June 29, 2012, the second quarter dividend equates to an annualized dividend yield of 14.5%.

Paradise Lost formed in Halifax, West Yorkshire in 1988 & are known for being the founders of the Gothic Death/Doom Metal genre; a style fully brought into existence with their genre-defining second album, the highly influential 'Gothic'. Having released 2 albums, including 'Gothic', for the UK's Peaceville Records & later helping to establish Peaceville as home to the finest trio of UK doom bands (alongside My Dying Bride & Anathema), Paradise Lost then signed with fellow UK label, Music For Nations which eventually led to the band breaking through to mainstream rock & metal audiences as their style evolved. 'Icon' was Paradise Lost's fourth album, & considered a breakthrough release for the band in 1993. 'Icon' greatly helped to establish them among the UK's best metal acts, & gained the band a large international following in the process. This was assisted by classic tracks such as 'Embers Fire' & 'True Belief'. Each track a showcase of highly atmospheric gothic doom/rock, with a developed, more clean vocal approach by Nick Holmes helping the band to more mainstream appeal which is exactly what happened, & continued with the band's follow-up album 'Draconian Times'. All in all, 'Icon' was a colossal success & is regarded as one of the top doom metal albums. 'Icon' was recorded at Recorded at Jacobs Studios, Surrey & produced by Simon Efemey. This edition of 'Icon' comes on double heavyweight black vinyl, with gatefold sleeve & is numbered to 2000 copies.

The First Word in Protective & Marine Coatings
A Product of Technology Publishing / PaintSquare

Main News Page
Friday, November 19, 2010
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued 17 citations and proposed $300,400 in fines against a Georgia industrial painting contractor, alleging chemical overexposures, lack of protection and other violations.
The citations against Aerospace/Defense Coatings of Georgia Inc. in Macon follow up on multiple serious citations issued against the company in 2005 and 2008.
PPE, Chemical Citations
The company provides painting, shot peening, abrasive-blast cleaning, non-destructive testing and other services for government agencies, aerospace companies, and others. The company did not reply to a request for comment Friday (Nov. 19).
The new citations stem from an inspection OSHA conducted in May after receiving a complaint concerning personal protective equipment and the handling, storing and disposing of chemicals, the agency said. Inspections were conducted at all three of the company's plants.
The company is accused of four willful violations related to respirator protection, chromium (VI) overexposure, personal protective equipment and failing to perform periodic monitoring of chromium (VI) exposure; the proposed penalty for these is $224,000.
Eight repeat violations, with a proposed penalty of $50,400, are allegedly related to hazardous waste, emergency response, written programs, personal protective equipment for acids, failing to provide employee information and training, and respirator training and storage.
Seven citations for serious violations, with a proposed penalty of $26,000, allegedly involve failure to:
• Train employees to respond to hazardous waste emergencies;
• Post the results of chromium (VI) levels that were above the permissible exposure limit in an accessible location;
• Establish a regulated area where employees' exposure to airborne concentrations was in excess of the permissible exposure limit;
• Provide a change area to prevent cross-contamination;
• Ensure surfaces contaminated with chemicals were cleaned;
• Institute a medical surveillance program; and
• Provide information and training for employees exposed to chromium (VI).
• Train employees to respond to hazardous waste emergencies;
• Post the results of chromium (VI) levels that were above the permissible exposure limit in an accessible location;
• Establish a regulated area where employees' exposure to airborne concentrations was in excess of the permissible exposure limit;
• Provide a change area to prevent cross-contamination;
• Ensure surfaces contaminated with chemicals were cleaned;
• Institute a medical surveillance program; and
• Provide information and training for employees exposed to chromium (VI).
Cr(VI) Targeted
OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with intentional knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirements, or with plain indifference to worker safety and health. A repeat violation is issued when an employer previously has been cited for the same or a similar violation within the last five years.
A serious citation is issued when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
In February, OSHA launched a National Emphasis Program targeting chromium (VI), or hexavalent chromium. That was followed by new requirements for protecting workers from exposure and revised notification requirements.
"The employer had ample information alerting him to the hazards posed by hexavalent chromium, yet allowed his employees to continue to be exposed," said Bill Fulcher, director of OSHA's Atlanta-East Area Office. "OSHA will not tolerate this type of inaction."
The company has 15 business days from receipt of the citations and proposed penalties to comply, request an informal conference, or contest the findings.

NEW YORK—Philippine deployments in support of United Nations peacekeeping operations is at an all-time high with more than a thousand military and police peacekeepers serving in various conflict areas worldwide, the Philippine Mission to the United Nations reported today.
In his report to Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto G. Romulo, Ambassador Hilario G. Davide, Jr., Philippine Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said the Philippines had a total of 1,056 Filipino peacekeepers serving in nine UN peacekeeping missions at the end of 2009.
Ambassador Davide said the figure, which represents a 40 percent surge in troop deployments compared to the end of the previous year, pushed the Philippines up to the 23rd position in the list of the top troop and police contributing countries. The Philippines was 29th in the list with 626 military and police peacekeepers deployed at the end of 2008.
"The 656 officers and enlisted personnel from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the 415 officers from the Philippine National Police (PNP) currently serving with the UN represent the largest number of Filipino peacekeepers deployed overseas since the Philippines participated in its first UN peacekeeping operation during the term of President Diosdado P. Macapagal," Ambassador Davide said.
The Philippines first participated in UN peacekeeping operations in 1963 when it contributed a 40-member squadron from the Philippine Air Force to provide air support for the UN mission in the Congo. Since then, Filipino peacekeepers have made their presence felt in UN operations in Afghanistan; Cambodia; Burundi; Cote d' Ivoire; Darfur; Georgia; Golan Heights; Haiti; Iraq; Liberia; Kashmir; Kosovo; Nepal; Sudan; and Timor-Leste.
According to the Philippine Mission, prior to 2009, the highest number of Filipino peacekeepers deployed abroad was in 2000 when the Philippines had 807 military and police personnel supporting UN operations in Timor-Leste.
The Philippine Mission attributed the surge to the assumption in October by a 336-man infantry battalion of peacekeeping responsibilities in the Golan Heights; the deployment in November of additional police officers to support UN humanitarian efforts in Darfur; and the deployment of military officers to augment the UN military observer group in Kashmir.
In addition to the Philippine peacekeeping contingent serving with the UN Disengagement Observer Force in the Golan Heights (UNDOF), the Philippines has a 157-man headquarters company with the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and a 139-man unit with the UN Mission. Other AFP officers serve as military observers, liaison officers and staff officers in Sudan (11); Cote d' Ivoire (7); Kashmir (3); and Timor Leste (3).
In his report, Ambassador Davide also said that the Philippines remains on the list of the top contributors of individual police officers to UN peacekeeping operations.
He said most PNP peacekeepers are deployed in Africa with 169 serving with the UN-African Union Hybrid Mission in Darfur (UNAMID); 29 with the UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS); and 26 with UNMIL. Another 153 officers are deployed in Timor-Leste; 22 in Haiti; and one in Afghanistan.
"The present deployment accounts for the biggest number of PNP officers serving with the UN since the Philippines first sent police peacekeepers to serve with the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia in 1992," Ambassador Davide said.
The Filipino envoy said the latest deployments more than made up for the peacekeeping slots the Philippines lost as a result of the pullout of the PNP contingent from Kosovo following the assumption by the European Union of UN peacekeeping responsibilities there. The Philippines also lost some slots with the closure of the UN Observer Mission in Georgia and the downsizing of UNMIL.
"We are proud of the fact that despite our limited resources, we were still able to fulfill our obligations as a member of the family of nations," Ambassador Davide said, as he assured the UN that it can continue counting on the Philippines as a responsible and reliable peacekeeping partner.###

Frankenfood or superfood?
GM grub under the spotlight
THEY'VE been labelled everything from "Frankenfoods" to "superfoods" but just how bad are these genetically modified products?
First developed in 1983, the plants – which have been tipped to end world hunger and vitamin A-related blindness in developing countries – have sparked controversy over the decades.
Opponents fear they will cause big problems for people with food allergies – and could even be TOXIC.
But there's an increasing argument that this isn't the case.
So as the debate rumbles on, CHRISTINA EARLE speaks to those in the know about the potential health benefits of GM foods.

a stable in my kitchen for many years now. only available in speciality store, I was really happy to see it available on iHerb at a reasonable price (same price as store when shipping is added).
I love this base.

Wonderful product for so many soups and dishes. Works well with a little vegetable base.
Great Bouillon!

I so much prefer using Better Than Bouillon Soup bases over the powdered/cubed kind. The flavor is really great and it has no MSG.
