Organophosphorus Poisoning
Normally a General physician in a hospital treats such patients
2. Do the fruits and vegetables we eat contain organophosphorus compounds?
The fruits and vegetables are sprayed with organophosphorus pesticides. Hence it is important to wash them well before eating. You could alternatively opt for organic products that are grown free of pesticides.
3. Is Baygon the home insecticide and used commonly for suicide in India - an organophosphorus compound?
Baygon contains a substance that is classified as a carbamate. It causes similar symptoms to organophosphorus poisoning. However, pralidoxime and obidoxime cannot be used in Baygon poisoning.
4. What are the commonly used organophosphorus compounds used in households?
Tik 20 and Kill bug are commonly used organophosphorus compounds used in households.

A collective of lions is called a pride and a collective of women is known as... a binder? Well it would be, if it were left to Mitt Romney, Republican presidential nominee and former Governor of Massachusetts.
If Mr. Romney's utterances in the second presidential debate on Tuesday in Hempstead, New York, were anything to go by, he not only continues to be a loyal user of the somewhat outdated filing stationery, he actually uses binders to store women.
Adding to several moments of white-knuckle drama was a rather odd comment from Mr. Romney that came when he was challenged with a question on pay equity for women.
Concerted effort
Responding to the audience member about gubernatorial efforts to staff his cabinet in Massachusetts with women Mr. Romney said, "We took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet... I brought us whole binders full... of women."
Social media retribution followed swiftly. The hash-tag #BindersFullOfWomen soon began trending on Twitter. Soon Twitter and Facebook users were lampooning the comment with abandon, one notable graphic on Facebook showing a "Dirty Dancing" still shot of Patrick Swayze captioned, "No one puts baby... in a binder."
On the online marketplace Amazon, customer reviews for the "Avery Durable View Binder with 2 Inch EZ-Turn Ring" included sarcastic comments such as: "As a wife and mother, I LOVE this binder. It keeps me in my place, allows me to get dinner ready on time, AND only costs 72% of the more masculine version."
In more worrying developments for the Romney team, however, President Barack Obama wasted little time in capitalising on the gaffe when he said during a post-debate speech at Athens, Ohio, "I don't know if you were listening last night, but, see, we don't have to order up some binders to find qualified, talented, driven young women to learn and teach and thrive and start businesses. When these young women graduate, we should make a very simple concept the rule: Equal pay for equal work."
At stake for Mr. Romney is the high-value women's vote, especially the support of suburban-dwelling women in swing states such as Colorado and Ohio.
Mr. Romney's unwillingness to speak more strongly in favour of fair pay for women stood in stark contrast to Mr. Obama's remarks, in which the President emphasised his efforts to pass the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, adding that Mr. Romney did not voice support for it.

Apple Spurned Microsoft: Tech Edge
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Something huge was missing from Steve Jobs' earnings call harangue: Microsoft (MSFT).
When Jobs upstaged Apple's (AAPL) record financial performance story Monday to share some thoughts that have been weighing on his mind, he failed to mention the "evil empire" of Redmond, Wash.
For several minutes Jobs tore into all the major demons out there that apparently threaten his company's greatness like the "avalanche" of 7-inch tablets, the stumbling BlackBerry shop Research In Motion (RIMM) and the fragmentation of Google's (GOOG) Android software.
Coming from the beloved Apple chief -- who called out competitors by name -- the words had a piercing sting. But perhaps none was more hurt than Microsoft.Maybe it was out of spite, maybe it was a strange show of respect, but the real upshot was that Microsoft didn't make the cut as a key Apple rival. How could Jobs not include his long-time nemesis in the club? Why didn't he see fit to toss a barb at Microsoft, so Steve Ballmer could join Android's Andy Rubin or RIM's Jim Balsillie with a nifty little reply? Make no mistake. This is a cruel slight by Jobs. Microsoft has to be reeling at this point. How could it not register in Jobs' mind? Didn't Microsoft just host a splashy New York debut party for its Window phone 7 software last week? The advertising campaign for Windows Phone 7 is expected to be $100 million, but that doesn't buy even a mention in Jobs' tirade? Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg got a much bigger bang for his public relations buck when he pledged $100 million to the Newark, N.J. school system. The first Microsoft Windows 7 phones hit the market next month, and somewhere in that vast marketing colossus, they have to be livid that there's no Jobs venom to endorse the effort. --Written by Scott Moritz in New York.

The Simpsons take on 'Mapple'
As Dave and Mike discussed during last night's talkcast, Sunday's episode of The Simpsons included plenty of wink-wink-nudge-nudge references to our favorite fruit company. (The video is also available on Hulu.com.)
Lisa discovers a "Mapple store" has appeared in the Springfield Mall, complete with "myPods," "myPhones," and even a "Brainiac Bar." Comic Book Guy wants to know why OS 4.2 is built so poorly, and Krusty the Klown wants to get rid of his myPod.
Mapple CEO "Steve Mobbs" also makes an appearance, with typical Simpsons hilarity ensuing. While not particularly biting social commentary, the sketch pokes fun at
Apple Mapple customers' willingness to shell out big bucks for their products.
The Simpsons have taken on Apple before, with the now-famous Newton "eat up Martha" gag. You might say this is one more thing to add to the list of gags that The Simpsons have done. In the words of Steve Mobbs and Steve Jobs, it's "insanely great."

Best Upgrade for your Nuvo By Adam on 11/24/2014Adam would recommend this product to a friendIf you plan on upgrading anything on your Nuvo, this would be at the top of my list. These media baskets are 10x better than the cheesy ones that come with the tank hands down!!! I would go and say that these media baskets should be included instead of the cheap flimsy ones that are included.
Versatile but should have come w/ the nano By Woodrow on 7/22/2014Woodrow would recommend this product to a friendThese are solid baskets, well constructed with nice handles and sturdy dividers. Easy to tweak your setup with different media.
Only negatives are that there is some bypass (though not much, and that's possibly a good idea anyhow), but the biggest issue is that Innovative Marine sells their Nuvo aquariums with garbage media baskets when they should include these. I don't fault BRS or any other vendor, but I've had mixed experiences with IM products.
An Upgrade Must! By Scott on 7/10/2014Scott would recommend this product to a friendI purchased two of these for my IM Nuvo16 to replace the factory sponge holders and I am glad I did. I like that you have the option of adding your own media and putting that media in whatever order works best for you.
Excellent Media Baskets By Brad on 3/11/2014Brad would recommend this product to a friendI purchased two of these for my Nuvo 24, they fit perfectly and are made from quality materials. Easy to remove and replace your different media types, I used GFO and Carbon.
Great Media Basket By STEVEN on 2/6/2014STEVEN would recommend this product to a friendthis basket is wonderful. its what should have came with your nuvo. the shelves are adjustable so you can fit different types of media.
not just for nano tanks By Lori on 11/23/2013Lori would recommend this product to a friendI have a 55g tank and built a sump refugium out of a 30g tank
I bought the small caddy and love it. I have a dule canister filtration unit and gave gfo and carbon in them so I use the caddy for my seachem phosphate control in a bag and put into caddy and have the return water hose sit on top of caddy to run through from the top through the seachem and out the bottom, it save you from having to put another pump in sump refugium. it has been working great and is made of good quality materials.also smallone fits my refugium pump. I just have it hanging off baffle.a medium would of worked also. this is not just for nano tanks, just use your imagination.great job bulk reef.
not just for nano tanks I found out and its great. By Lori on 11/22/2013Lori would recommend this product to a friendI bought the small one and put seachem phosphate control in a bag and put in caddy, I hung it off a baffle in my refugium sump, great idea I had. I have dule chemical filtration canisters and have gfo and carbon in so I put return water hose from reactor on the top of caddy so the the return water runs through bag and out the bottom of the caddy, works great. The small one fits my 30g refugium sump I made perfectly. Its made of great quality material, great job bulk reef supply. I would recomend this product to anyone. Thanks again.
great product and not just for nano"s By Lori on 11/21/2013Lori would recommend this product to a friendI have a 55g salt tank with refugium sump. I bought this for that even though they say its for a nano tank. I hung it on my baffle and put medium in bag and into cady, i put return water hose from canister media reactor on top so water runs through it, in the top out the bottom. Works great. Nice quality. Love it for the extra chemical filtration. In my dule reactors i put gfo and carbon,in cady i put seachum phosphate remover. You could put what ever you want in it. Id recomend it to anyone. I got the small but any would work but the small one fits my 30g self made refugium sump. Great job again to bulk reef supply.
Excellent Product For The Money By Dave on 11/3/2013Dave would recommend this product to a friendI purchased two of these for my Nuvo 16. What a cheap upgrade from the stock media baskets that come with the aquarium. I was going to build them but you can't even justify doing it for what these cost. I have one side set up with chemi-pure and the other is set up as a refugium. These fill up the whole compartment as the stock units don't. This way all the return water will flow over the media. The original media that comes with the aquarium will fit in these also.

Were does the water exit the caddy. I'm not seeing any openings other than the top?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Joseph,
The water flows down through the media baskets and out the bottom. You can see the round holes in the product pictures.
I hope this helps!
Have a great day :)
by Nate on February 20, 2014, @12:04 PM
Just curious to the people who say they put gfo/carbon in these....What sort of filter floss do you use to contain the media?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Nate,
Rather then hassle with filter floss material most folks just put it in a small media bag and stick the bag in the caddy. The 4x8 mesh draw string bag is the most popular:

For many Americans who know Vietnam only from movies, the southeast Asian country is a place of war where tens of thousands of American soldiers lost their lives. But during the past several decades Vietnam has moved on, rapidly developing to become one of the world's fastest-growing economies and attracting a surge of foreign investment.
SPEA has been at the forefront of an effort to study the fast-growing nation. Specifically, SPEA professors Anh Tran and Matthew Auer have found complex combinations of corruption and institutional reform. Corrupt officials and honest managers co-exist; bad natural resource management is accompanied by caring stewardship. Tran and Auer's research has not only shed light on these trends but also, through their work on developing student exchange programs, helped established a valuable partnership between SPEA and one of the world's most dynamic and fascinating regions.
Greasing the Wheel
For SPEA assistant professor Anh Tran, the central questions concerning corruption in Vietnam are how and why unscrupulous business dealings there have failed to completely derail the economy. Unlike in many African countries, where widespread corruption has led to economic collapse, extreme poverty, and civil war, Vietnam has thrived despite corruption.
The types of corruption at play in Vietnam, Tran says, are not remarkable—mainly bribes and kickbacks paid by domestic and foreign companies to government officials to secure contracts for projects including building bridges, roads, and other infrastructure development. What is unusual is the extent to which Tran has persuaded his sources to talk freely about corruption.
Most researchers, Tran says, have relied heavily on self-reported survey data that tends to misrepresent the scope of corruption. Tran, a native-born Vietnamese, has overcome this limitation by developing a network with dozens of business owners and government officials in Vietnam who, in his experience, have been more than willing to own up to their role in corrupt dealings. "People often ask me why firms provide their kickback data to me, and I sometimes joke that I 'bribe' them for it, but that's not true," Tran says. "Firm owners and workers share information with me as a favor and don't fear reprisal. In a highly corrupt environment the probability of getting caught for bribery is very low since almost everyone is doing it. It's not really a closely guarded secret if you know how and who to ask."
So just how corrupt is the Vietnamese government? Although Tran describes corruption as "prevalent," he also notes that, according to his research, only around 10 percent of government officials have taken bribes. But, Tran says, that's enough to designate corruption as a problem that should at the very least be monitored. Tran has focused on three groups: private domestic firms, private foreign firms, and state-owned firms. And he's found that after government-controlled businesses and agencies, foreign owned private firms are by far the most corrupt in terms of how much they shell out in bribes.
"People assume that because Western firms have high standards, high salaries, and good management skills, their employees are less prone to corruption," Tran says. "But I've found the opposite. Unlike Vietnamese-owned businesses, the leaders of foreign firms usually know very little about the local economy and so are more easily pushed around by their Vietnamese employees. Local bosses are not above bribing politicians to get work, but they're better at preventing their workers from taking kickbacks."
Although Tran acknowledges the dangers of corruption that if left unchecked can ultimately rot a country from the inside, his research does not focus on solving the problem in Vietnam. Over the next few decades, he suspects, as the Vietnamese economy continues to grow and stabilize, the government will recognize the value in managing and eventually phasing out corruption.
In a more roundabout way, though, Tran has encouraged his native country to take a step in that direction, by helping to establish the Vietnam Young Leader Award (VYLA) program, a partnership between Indiana University and the Vietnam Ministry of Education and Training that involves sending several outstanding Vietnamese civil servants to SPEA for a two-year Master of Public Affairs degree. The program, which began in the 2010 fall semester, includes classroom training and a summer experience in Washington, D.C., New York, and Boston involving institutions including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the United Nations. The Vietnam Young Leader Award Program (VYLA) marks the first time that Vietnam has taken part in a specific program to send young people to the United States for training in public policy.
The idea, Tran says, is for the Vietnamese students to learn as much as they can about modern public affairs and bring that experience back to their home country — an objective that suits program participant May Nguyen perfectly. "Pursuing a master's degree at SPEA has been helping me deepen my understanding about public policy," says Nguyen, who had worked as an official at Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is now studying comparative and international affairs and nonprofit management at SPEA. "Studying public policy and analysis here is allowing me to learn how other governments function and compare it with practices in Vietnam to find solutions."
Although VYLA students may not choose to study anti-corruption policy per se, Tran says being exposed to new ideas about public policy will help them educate their Vietnamese colleagues about the prudence of non-corrupt governance. "Corruption is somewhat like a disease," Tran says. "If you grow up and live in a corrupt society, you tend to take corruption for granted and don't necessarily see anything wrong. But if you're away from it and see a better way to do things, you may want to go back home and change the system."
Sustaining the Forests
The Vietnam Young Leader Award program is "only one among a suite of collaborative bridges SPEA is building with Vietnam," says SPEA professor and dean of the Hutton Honors College Matthew Auer. Beginning in the summer of 2011, Auer will help build another bridge by taking several SPEA and other IU students to Vietnam as part of the Scholars in Global Citizenship Program to explore how the forces of globalization have shaped the country's economy and society.
"I'm expecting students to feel some culture shock at the outset," says Auer, who hopes to pair IU students with Vietnamese students from Hanoi University of Science. "Hanoi is crowded, very busy, and some creature comforts that American students are accustomed to are not widely available. I hope that they'll return to the U.S. with a clear sense of the opportunities and challenges Vietnam faces as it rapidly develops."
One of those challenges is illegal logging in Vietnam's degraded forests. This past year, Auer, an international environmental policy expert, was asked by the Swiss government to evaluate a multi-year, donor-funded project aimed at reducing illegal logging and promoting sustainable forest management in Vietnam and Laos. A key objective of the project was to encourage sustainable practices that could be certified by a third party, such as the non-profit Forest Stewardship Council. Auer found many unmet goals but also signs of progress.
"In movies Vietnam is often depicted as a land of vast, undisturbed rainforests, but many of the forests I visited were very degraded," Auer says. "Most of the big trees were cut down, leaving secondary growth mixed with farmland, abandoned fields, and timberland of poor quality."
The problem, Auer says, has largely to do with state–run forest companies whose leaders lack the knowledge and incentives to practice sustainable forestry. A significant part of the challenge, Auer discovered, is that Vietnamese state forest companies are in the process of being "equatized" (the Vietnamese term for privatization) and the transition is not going entirely smoothly. "In order for a forest management company to be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, the entity must have clear title to the land and to its own assets and liabilities," Auer says. "But one legacy of communism is that's it's been difficult for the state to smoothly transfer ownership of resources like forests to private companies. And so forest companies don't have clear ownership or incentives to take care of the land."
Meanwhile, as a kind of social welfare program, the Vietnamese government allows poor farmers to occupy state forestland where they clear forests and till crops. Like the forest companies, the farmers' rights to the land are tenuous. Pressure on the land is also exacerbated by illegal logging, the products of which frequently end up in Vietnam's strategically important wood patio furniture and floorboard industries. The result has been haphazard deforestation and little in the way of organized plans to replenish harvested trees. Beyond harm done to forest ecosystems, illegal logging has forced Vietnam's patio furniture industry to source an increasing amount of its wood from other countries.
Regulating logging and forest product manufacturing is worthwhile for Vietnam, Auer says, because stores including IKEA, Home Depot, Lowes, and others import (or plan to) an increasing amount of wood from certified, sustainably managed sources. If Vietnam wants to bolster its wood-products industry, it will need to find ways to better manage its forests.
Auer did see some encouraging signs that Vietnam is getting the message and at the same time helping to address poverty. In 2010, with the aid of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), a group of Vietnamese farmers in Quang Tri Province agreed to improve their forest management practices to achieve Forest Stewardship Council certification. The farmers had already secured private rights to the land, and the WWF trained them to improve land management, including soil preparation, pruning, and record-keeping. In 2010, the farmers achieved FSC group certification for 317 hectares of fast-growing acacia. A Vietnamese forest company bought harvested wood from the farmers, allowing the company to make and sell products bearing the official FSC stamp. Each of the stakeholders has had to make sacrifices: the loggers had to wait longer before harvesting timber; the manufacturers and exporters had to agree to buy timber at higher prices than they would have from non-certified loggers. But they have also been able to demand higher prices from foreign buyers, and so they can expect to see a decent return on their investment.
"It's a good start, and I spoke with forestry officials in the region who want to spread the gospel of FSC certification to smallholder farmers in other areas," Auer says. "I'm hopeful that this pilot project will grow and thrive, although it's going to take continued support from the WWF to help farmers stay committed to the plan and develop other revenue streams while they wait for forests to reach the point of harvest," a process that takes about 12 years. Vietnamese farmers and loggers also need money to pay for certification, for tools to grow trees sustainably, and for training to learn how to prune and manage forest plots. So far the Swiss government has covered those costs, Auer says, but in order to sustain the effort, more farmers must join the group to reduce the overall costs of certification.
"That's the true test," Auer says, "and I'm optimistic they'll pass it."
Auer is also optimistic that the IU students he's taking to Vietnam and the Vietnamese students now studying at SPEA (with more to follow in the coming years) mark the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration between SPEA and Vietnam. "[These programs] are a strong testament to SPEA's commitment to growing its international presence and a great opportunity for students to gain the educational experience of a lifetime."

Mattel Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
I am optimistic about the growth prospects for the global toy industry. For perspective, about 1/3 of the global toy category is in the U.S. While NPD data shows the U.S. total toy category down mid-single digits through May 2012, that trend is not consistent across all categories. Most of the categories in which we play are outperforming the total category growth rate through May 2012. Additionally, Mattel continues to gain share in important categories such as infant/preschool dolls and vehicles during the same time period. NPD data also indicates that Europe, despite its recent economic challenges, remains relatively stable through May 2012, reinforcing our belief that the toy industry holds up well in the tough economic times. Using NPD data, that represents about half of the total toy industry. And our global and market experience, we continue to see overall global toy industry growth due to positive demographic trends and toy spending in emerging and developing markets.
As I've said on several occasions, one of Mattel's greatest assets and points of difference is our diverse portfolio of brands, countries and customers. And for the quarter, we experienced strength across all areas. While still early in the year, we experienced good momentum across many of our core brands: Barbie, Hot Wheels and American Girl, as well as strong growth in our Monster High franchise. And we saw positive momentum across a number of our licensed entertainment brands: Disney Princess, with the new movie Brave; Batman, The Dark Knight Rises; Disney's new Jake and the Never Land Pirates; and WWE.
Let's start with the Barbie brand, which experienced a strong second quarter. According to NPD through May 2012, Barbie continues to gain doll supercategory share, both in the U.S. and the Euro 5. We continue to see strength in Barbie's core fashion lines and this year's spring entertainment, Mermaid Tale 2, which was also a growth driver in the quarter.

Will my insurance cover breast reduction for myself going from a DD size to a B cup?
Your insurance carrier's (Anthem) policy will determine if they cover Breast Reduction surgery. Give them a call or check in with the Human Resource Dept. where you work.
Yes, you sound like a good candidate for a Breast Reduction. Consider thinking of your post operative result as proportional to body size or smaller than your body size rather than a specific cup size. The reason: There are no standard cup sizes within the bra industry. For example, a Victoria Secret C cup bra is often approximately the same size as a Playtex B cup bra.

Damn a damn. That's a slap down. Via.
The GOP is heartess, cruel, and should be tried for treason. How dare they beg and get corporate tax break after corporate tax breaks, ask for more breaks for the wealthy, want oil and gas companies to decimate our water and air, and still, take away food from kids, people unable to get work thanks to the GOP, and seniors? And they dare to call themselves Christians because they are against abortion? Sorry, guys, but when all these babies get here, they will mostly be born into poor families. And they have to eat. I thinkeven the GOP base is waking up to how evil this party has become.

CAMP Packing List:
___ 1 Complete Scout Uniform (Mandatory).
OPTIONAL Scout Equipment
___ Fishing pole / tackle
Also, please take note of the following:
(1) Prescription medications. Meds need to be in their original containers and placed in a ziploc plastic bag along with instructions for their use. We will collect all of these prior to getting on the bus, so please don't pack them deep inside a backpack or footlocker. One of the adults will hand out these medications when required, so it's essential we keep them organized and know exactly when they are to be given.
(2) NO Cell phones. Please leave them at home. Most of the adults will have cell phones and the camp has phones, so we have plenty of ways to communicate if necessary. Cell phones make it hard for a boy to work through any "homesickness" he might experience and - these days - they're also game platforms and as such are very distracting from the camp experience. If a boy brings a phone, one of the adults will hold it for him until the end of camp.
(3) Electronic games. Not allowed. Like cell phones, they're just too distracting. Cards, puzzles, books, frisbees, board games, etc., are all okay for evening downtime - but please NO electronics.
(4) Merit Badge books and materials. First-Year campers are in the Dan Beard program (formerly called the Baden-Powell program) and need be concerned only with the Swimming and First Aid merit badges, but it is expected that each camper will bring his own merit badge pamphlets and materials for the classes he's taking. These can be obtained from the scout store. (They have a limited selection available at the Trading Post too, but it's best to get them ahead of time.) We sent an email listing of all the merit badges and their requirements and they also be found in Merit Badge Classes 99.2KB.
** Needed for Merit Badges: Lifesaving,Swimming and Project COPE
A few notes on summer camp:
(1) Arrival - Please be at the church by 10:00AM on Sunday, June 19. Scouts should be in full uniform. We will load the bus, check forms, and check-in personal medications. Medications should be in their original containers, sealed in a plastic bag along with the scout's name, and include instructions for giving out the medication(s) to the scout. (Checklists for what to bring to camp were sent out earlier.) We'll attend church service, have lunch at the church, and leave for camp around 1:30PM. Scouts should have a full water bottle for the ride down and the check-in process at camp - it will most likely be HOT outside.
(2) Mail - Scouts love to receive mail and "care packages" (cookies, snacks, fun items, etc.) from home while at camp. It can take a few days for mail to get to camp, so mail early. The mailing address is:
Troop 73
McKee Scout Reservation
8695 Levee Rd.
Jeffersonville, KY 40337
Phone: 859-498-1328
Website: http://campmckee. org/index. php?option= com_contact&view=category&catid=11&Itemid=3
(Mr. Chase always likes to remind everyone that the adults like cookies, too.)
(3) Family Participation Night - Families are welcome to visit the Troops on Friday night. ALL GUESTS ARE REQUIRED TO CHECK IN and receive a visitor's pass. Meal tickets are available from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM at the Administration Building, after 5:30 purchase tickets at Stamler Dining Hall. Cub Scouts in uniform eat FREE! The water carnival is at 4:30 p.m., retreat is at 6:00 p.m., dinner is at 6:15 p.m., and the closing campfire is at 8:30 p.m.
(4) Early Dismissal from Camp - Please note that leaving early on Friday is extremely unfair to the scouts that stay and are required to clean up and break down camp on Saturday. If you MUST leave early, you are required to fill out a release form with the administrative staff at the administration building. This form must be signed by a parent, the scoutmaster, and the camp administrator prior to departure. You will also be responsible for cleaning up your personal area and carrying your clothing and equipment down from campsite 2 to your car. Excepting cases of injury or disability, Vehicles will NOT be allowed to drive up to the campsite. If you already know that you will need to leave camp early, please let me know before we leave for camp.
All fuel (propane, white gas) must be checked in and held by the Camp

Carryon for the bus:
In a plastic bag – bring the clothes you will change into after travel (we will leave ALL uniform pieces – including Scout socks on the bus so we can travel home in clean uniforms).

Op-ed: End Apartheid for miners, too
In around twenty years from now, when someone, somewhere, considers the moments that really brought long-term change to our political system, this strike is going to feature. In a way, it has been the political story of the last year or so. From the Marikana shootings onward, what has been playing out on the platinum belt has been the strongest indication yet that the political hegemony of the ANC, the post-1994 consensus in which essentially the ANC took on the DP/DA with a few other people sitting on the sidelines, is now over.
With a broad brushstroke caveat that must be included in an analysis like this, what we've had up until now is black people voting ANC, and everyone else beginning to vote DA. This is the first big action taken by a non-ANC force in which black people were in the van that led to very real change. Consider just the economic impact: the economy shrank by 0.6% in the first quarter only because of this strike. This is a very real demonstration of political power by an organisation that is black, and not a part of the ANC.
In fact, it is opposed to the ANC and various formations that are part of the alliance, in particular the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM).
Just this one fact alone could be a game-changer. It clearly seems to show that there are now more actors in politics, that the game has more players, who have power in their own right. Should AMCU continue to grow into other sectors, with the weapon of striking it now has, it could become very powerful indeed.
Already it is being courted by the metalworkers union NUMSA, which is preparing to create its own "workers formation" later this year. Surely AMCU is going to give significant weight to that new movement, once it gets going.
Whatever happens, though, the ANC is now maybe at the height of its power; it is unlikely to ever again control so many parts of the country so thoroughly, through government and the allied unions. Without the power it used to have on the mines through the NUM, things are certain to change.
Then we have to consider the other big lesson. The current labour system in this country, with its cosy series of meetings in which all the people concerned know and understand each other, is over. No longer can the NUM deal with someone who really represents its former general secretary Cyril Ramaphosa. It's no longer the system where if a company is holding out for too long, a minister can maybe apply a little pressure on the bosses. Now things are going the other way, government is more likely to ask bosses to hold out against AMCU, in a bid to break them, and thus help the NUM and the ANC.
It was an unguarded moment from the chief negotiator at the Chamber of Mines, Dr Elize Strydom, that really demonstrated how the world has changed. In an interview with the Sunday Times, she said about dealing with AMCU: "I quickly realised that their negotiator had no knowledge of the industry. You have to talk about a rock drill operator, winding-engine drivers and why they're paid what they're paid, and you see the non-comprehension in the eyes of the negotiator of the union."
In other words, dealing with AMCU is a whole new ball game. This is not something that is going to be easy to manage.
But it will be easy compared to trying to get mining executives to cut their salaries. The JSE rules that insisted Anglo American Platinum release the details of its bonuses for bosses in the middle of the strike revealed what is really happening in our economy. Those with no skills, but willing to break their backs underground get a pittance; those who won a lottery of life get paid millions to stay above the ground. No one believes that those with skills should not be paid what they're worth. But this is untenable, and unsustainable. And it's not about the maths that if a handful of people are paid less, tens of thousands will get much more. It's about the symbolism.
But I am not optimistic that this is going to change.
What could well change, not that it will necessarily help, is the law. The main message from all of the ANC officials at last week's State of the Nation address, and particularly Gwede Mantashe, is that the party wants to change the Labour Relations Act to prevent a strike like this again. On what planet is the Labour Relations Act responsible for this?
This strike has its roots in politics, in inequality, in poverty, in Apartheid, and in the Marikana massacre. It's about the lack of change, a lack of trust, and a lack of something to lose. Workers and their families lived with no money, believing that this was a fight they had to win for the future. It was funded, if you like, by their hope, their hope for change. That is really what is needed here, change.
Amending the law to enforce some form of arbitration is just going to lead to more distrust of the system that led AMCU members to this point in the first place. Imposing a settlement would surely just lead to even less confidence in the system, in government itself, especially a government to which AMCU is opposed. In the longer run, this would surely just lead to more violence in the end.
In a country with a few political actors as this one, this strike has also showed that our more recent past also matters. One of the under-reported facts of this strike has been how it was Mantashe himself who indirectly led to the formation of AMCU, after refusing to recuse himself from a disciplinary hearing held by the NUM when he was its general secretary in 1999. The subject of that hearing was one Joseph Mathunjwa. That hearing led directly to the formation of AMCU, which explains part of the bad blood there is now. While this strike has been about so many things, it is also about personalities, and the differences between them.
But Mantashe is unlikely to change his views of the world, while Mathunjwa is unlikely to stop nursing that particular grievance. In other words, this dynamic is not going to change.
However, the biggest lesson, the lesson that we kind of all know and sort of ignore, is that our country has simply not changed enough over the last twenty years. It is simply not good enough that we still send thousands of unskilled black people under the ground, knowing that if they break their bodies for twenty years, they will still be in the same desperate position afterwards. It's also not good enough that the communities they come from are probably poorer now than they were fifty years ago.
It is often claimed that Apartheid is over. Not for these miners; they live it every day. We have to end it for them too. DM

I hope that those thinking of renting this space will appreciate that they will get a quality stay because we care so much about our home and wish to share to those who have the same values.
Family oriented and open for dancing, fun and games.
Located near Utah's most beautiful canyon drive. This location is secluded yet close to all activities that many would imagine. The cabin is located at the end of a cul de sac which borders common ground and access to nature hikes. Watercraft rental, horseback riding, all watersports, golf, groceries, restaurants, marina, hiking, atv riding, mountain biking, skiing/snowboarding, hunting, fishing and most outdoor activities can be enjoyed within minutes of this locale.
Whitewater rafting in beautiful Snake River Canyon outside of Jackson Wyoming is just a short 2 hour drive North on Highway 89 and is a family favorite.
Park City Utah is just an hour and forty five minutes South and offers outlet shopping and other activities.
Bear Lake is considered one of Utah's premier recreational areas and offers all outdoor activities which also include caving, ice caving and cliff diving in the Bloomington Lake just 40 minutes North.
Enjoy a cycling tour around the lake - a total of 51 miles or take the walking/cycling trail on the main road below the cabin.
Wildlife is abundant and seen on the deck of the cabin which includes wild turkey, deer, moose and elk. Also, be mindful that these animals and others can be dangerous and you must keep your distance in an inaccessible location. Other wildlife seen in the area are badger, prairie dog and coyote.

Why not use = for frames instead, as in obj[prop = val]?

And it would open the door to extensions that would accept other accessors, as in obj[prop test val] where 'test' is a binary builtin predicate and the semantics is that the frame is true iff: exists ?v, obj[prop = ?v] and test(?v val) ChristianReceived on Tuesday, 2 September 2008 14:38:59 GMT

Searching for friendly whales in Baja's San Ignacio Lagoon
WHEN TO GO: There are whales in the lagoon from late December to April. Males begin leaving the lagoon in February, females with calves in late March. Chances of a friendly encounter seem to be greatest in March, though they can theoretically happen any time.
(Editor's note: This article originally appeared in the autumn of 2006.)
8 a.m. San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, Mexico:This is it, I tell myself, as we board the van.
Either I will commune with a friendly whale today, or this is absolutely the last time I will make a grueling trek to this dusty little town and its lagoon in the middle of nowhere.
I have been down this axle-busting, rock-strewn dirt road once before, on the two-hour-each-way drive to the ocean. Then, we were following the legend of the friendly whales, who have been known to come up to boats and greet passengers during their sojourn here.
But that time we met no friendly whales. Yes, we saw lots of whales, spouting, swimming, even breaching as they arched their bodies into the air, but none of them approached our boat.
That disappointment kept me away from San Ignacio for 10 years, since it's possible to drive to another town, Guerrero Negro, closer to the U.S., where the trip to the lagoon from town is shorter and it's much less of an ordeal to go out and see the whales.
There are three lagoons off the Pacific Coast of Baja where you can see whales between December and April: Scammon's Lagoon at Guerrero Negro, San Ignacio and Bahia Magdalena farther south.
The leviathans come down here from the waters off Alaska, to mate and also to give birth and raise their calves for the first few months, because the water is warmer and also because the calves' main predators, great white sharks, don't enter the lagoons.
Click here for more practical information on how to go see the gray whales in San Ignacio
Whale watching in Baja has become a nearly annual pilgrimage for our family. Seeing the behemoths in their native lagoons is an ever-changing and always thrilling experience.
In the past, we have always visited in early February, when the maximum number of whales are present. Soon afterward, the males start leaving, on their trip back northward to Alaska.
After some disappointments, I had begun to believe my chances of having an encounter with a friendly whale were the same as meeting E.T.
But, "No, no, no," some new friends who are knowledgeable about whales chided me about my timing.
"You have to go to San Ignacio in March, not February."
In March, the sometimes cantankerous bull whales have left the lagoon, while the newborn calves have grown bigger and stronger. Their mothers are more likely to let them come up to the boats and sniff around the humans like curious puppies. This theory has never been scientifically validated, though many people believe it's true.

Jack helping us move the basement stairscomments (1) March 16th, 2011 in Project Gallery
We got 2-year-old Jack, a Shetland Sheepdog, a month ago from a couple that could no longer keep him. He is new at carpentry but he's a fast learner and doesn't sleep on the job.
The project Jack and I are working on is the moving of our ranch's basement stairs from the kitchen to a new location, which was once a very small bedroom. The stairs will be where Jack is sitting. The plywood wall behind him will be the back wall of our new master bedroom closet. Plywood gives a nice backer behind the drywall to mount various hangers anywhere in the closet without having to hunt for studs.
One bonus from the move is having 30" added to the length of our dining room. Another is gaining about 45 square feet in the kitchen. (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Lamb of God's Randy Blythe Completes First Draft of 'Dark Days' Book
Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe has finished the first draft of his upcoming book, 'Dark Days.'
Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe has finished the first draft of his upcoming book, 'Dark Days.'
Always outspoken, Lamb of God's Randy Blythe just posted a blog celebrating the election of metalhead Joko Widodo as Indonesia's new President.
Lamb of God's Randy Blythe made a surprise appearance, rocking the song 'Hell Yeah' during Hellyeah's show in Wilmington, North Carolina.
On the two-year anniversary of his arrest on manslaughter charges, Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe has taken time to reflect on the chaotic period of his life.
We're happy to report that the Lamb of God frontman is 100 percent recovered!
Yesterday (June 3), we learned that GWAR vocalist Dave Brockie's cause of death was an accidental heroin overdose. The news spread quickly and garnered emotional reactions from fans around the world, one of
Rest in peace, Dave Brockie! The beloved GWAR frontman, also known as Oderus Urungus, touched many in the music industry with not only his outspoken and entertaining ways, but also the way in which he treated others. One of those who had a long-running friendship with Brockie was Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe, who had a chance to speak at the musician's memorial service.
Lamb of God fans are now getting a chance to check out the band's 'As the Palaces Burn' documentary, shot by director Don Argott, but admittedly the final product is not what the band had initially intended.
In June 2012, Lamb of God released a trailer for an upcoming documentary on the band. The original premise was to highlight the "Pure American Metal" band's upcoming world tour. The trailer for the documentary was interesting enough, but no one could have guessed that only days after the teaser was released, singer Randy Blythe would be locked away in a Czech prison.
Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe was found not guilty of manslaughter charges earlier this year by a Czech court, but the controversial trial wasn't the first time Blythe's life was in jeopardy. Blythe has struggled in the past with addiction to pills and alcohol, and in a new interview, the Lamb of God frontman opened up about overcoming those demons.
Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe was found not guilty of manslaughter by a Czech court on March 5. Since the judgement was handed down to Blythe, Lamb of God picked up right where they left off and hit the road to blast fans with 'Pure American Metal.' Along with seeing the band live, relieved Lamb of God fans can now watch a short film created by Randy Blythe, meant to represent the singer's state of mind throughout the legal process.
Clear out a space on your bookshelves, metalheads, because Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe is writing a memoir. The book, which is currently planned for a Spring 2014 release will focus on the last year of Blythe's life, detailing his controversial arrest and imprisonment for manslaughter charges in the Czech Republic all the way to his 2013 acquittal and beyond.

TravelPod Member ReviewsFather's Guest House Tanah Rata
Vi har bott på ca 20 olika ställen på vår resa genom Asien och detta var det sämsta av alla. Personalen var jätte otrevlig, helt ovilliga att svara på frågor och allmänt sura. Rummen var fulla av mögel och luktade illa, och det var mycket kallt under natten. Den så kallade toaletten var ett plastskjul i ena änden av rummet där toaletten mest agerade som accessoar då det knappt gick att spola. 80 RM betalade vi för ett dubbelrum vilket är alldeles för mycket för det man fick. Det finns andra, mycket bättre ställen att bo på i Tanah Rata, se er omkring efter något annat så långt ifrån Father's som möjligt.

Fathers is very clean and very basic. The staff (especially Jason) were very warm and welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. Don't expect frills and 5 star - go to a resort for that. If you want a low cost, comfortable stay with like minded travellers then this is the place for you.

We had less than 24 hours in Cameron Highlands, so the excellent staff made it a lot easier for us to make the most of our time there.
The room itself was clean, spacious and had a great view, but it was a little run down, and having a toilet in the room itself isn't always pleasant.

Fantastic dorm with loads of space, nice and quiet, attentive and friendly staff, and super clean. Restuarant is good and the location is perfect. Nothing but good things to say.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We stayed in what is referred to as the new addition to fathers which is a about a 10min walk from the original.
A little overpriced for what is essentially a shared apartment and bathroom albeit nice ones.
The place is way to far from reception making it a pain in arse for any enquiries or to organise the many treks, tours and activities that the place has to offer.
I recomend taking a photo of the billboard so you dont have to go back to refer to anything.
HAve a look at the other places on offer before checking in here unless desperate.

Father's is a great Hostel. It's set on a small hill overlooking Tanah Rata village. The dorms are normal standards but the chill out room makes this a great place to relax after a long days treking in the Jungle and mountains. They play movies most nights and the breakfasts are good too. It's a really pretty setting for a lovely guesthouse. And if you've got more of a budget then they have private rooms which we looked on longingly with ensuite shower and facing onto the garden. I'll be going back!

Staff are brilliant. The communal areas are full of travellers willing to share stories. They offers some great tours. Rooms are average but are well equipped for the colder evenings.
