Swan Valley Nyungah Community
The Swan Valley Nyungah (Noongar) Community was an Indigenous Australian community of Noongar people at Lords Street, Lockridge, Western Australia (Eden Hill, Town of Bassendean). The Government of Western Australia closed the settlement in 2003 by act of Parliament following allegations of widespread sexual abuse, rape and substance abuse, after a 15-year-old girl, Susan Taylor, committed suicide in 1999.
The suicide was the subject of a coronial inquest, followed by the 2001 Gordon Inquiry into claims of family violence and child abuse in Western Australian Aboriginal communities. This led to the formation of a parliamentary select committee which reported on matters surrounding the Community and its closure.
On 6 June 2008, Bella Bropho, on behalf of the Community, lost an appeal to the Federal Court on the grounds that their eviction and loss of property was in breach of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975.
Archaeological evidence suggests that the area has been inhabited for at least 38,000 years.[1] From the 1830s until the 1940s the land was owned by the Hammersley family, which allowed Nyungah people to remain on their traditional campsite. In 1941 a group of Swan Valley Nyungah women[2] purchased 20 acres (8.1 ha) of bushland bounded by Gallagher Street and Mary Crescent, Eden Hill.[3] The local council refused their requests for water and applications to build housing [4] so they camped in mia mias, bush breaks and tin camps and relied on water dug from their own wells. In the 1950s the area was resumed by the State Housing Commission for the creation of the suburb of Eden Hill.[5]
In 1977 several groups decided to make a stand at the Lockridge Campsite and in 1981 the people incorporated themselves as Fringedwellers of the Swan Valley Inc. The Fringedwellers began a series of protests asking the government to assist them with housing. During the 1980s the improvised huts and tents were replaced with government-supplied mining cabins.
On 19 July 1994 the Lockridge Campsite became the Swan Valley Nyungah Community when governor- general Michael Jeffery, "by virtue of the provisions of Section 33(2) of the Land Act 1933", vested Reserve 43131 (Swan Location 11942) in the Swan Valley Nyungah Community Aboriginal Corporation for the designated purpose of "use and benefit of Aboriginal Inhabitants".[6]) With federal-government funding, community members designed their own culturally appropriate and environmentally sensitive housing.[citation needed] The community started its own school which taught Indigenous content and had a good attendance record. The camp also had a good relationship with local police.[7]
Gordon Inquiry[edit]
On 12 February 1999 Susan Taylor was found hanged in the toilet block at the Swan Valley Nyungah Community. The State Coroner Alastair Hope conducted an inquest which heard evidence from one girl who said that Robert Bropho had offered her money for sex. Another witness said girls, including Susan, had told her that Bropho gave them paint to sniff and money in exchange for sex.[8] Coroner Hope returned an open finding into her death but said that "it was likely she took her own life after years of sexual abuse, and said it was apparent there was widespread sexual abuse against young Aborigines [in the community]."[9]
On 29 November 2001 the State Government called for Magistrate Sue Gordon to lead an inquiry into child abuse and domestic violence in Aboriginal Communities in Western Australia. Published on 31 July 2002 the report by the inquiry ran to over 640 pages and made 197 findings and recommendations.[10] Finding #141 specifically named the Swan Valley Nyungah Community, recommending they "...develop Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) between the Swan Valley Nyoongar Community and those government agencies, which may reasonably seek access to that community".
Timelime of Closure[edit]
- 14 May 2003 Geoff Gallop, the Premier of Western Australia, issued a media statement stating that the Swan Valley Nyungah Community was "a place of ruination and despair". He said the camp should be closed because "allegations of abuse and violence continue to be made informally and through advocate groups".[11] The women and children of the community protested outside Parliament House and requested an opportunity to present their case to the Premier. The request was denied.[12]
- 15 May 2003 Gallop issued another media statement saying "The Gordon Inquiry raised a number of concerns about the Swan Valley Nyungah Community" and "There is only one course of action: the current Management Order must be revoked".[13]
- 16 May 2003 Robert Bropho was charged with raping Lena Spratt in 1975. On the same day Bevan Carter, the deputy Mayor of the Town of Bassendean, said he "suspected a link" between closure of the camp and government plans to develop the land.[14] In The Australian an article by Paul Toohey reported that "The idea is to break Bropho's grip on the community and put the residents into ordinary suburban housing".[15]
- 17 May 2003 the new legislation was knocked back by the Liberal Party and the Greens. Former Attorney-General Peter Foss, asked "Why would you chuck out the victims with the perpetrators? You can't solve a social problem by kicking everybody out. The Government is kidding people if they think the only place in WA where child abuse and domestic violence is happening is the Swan Valley Nyungah Community. It's happening everywhere. This is tokenism where the Government is pretending it is solving a problem and may in fact aggravate it".[16]
- 22 May 2003 Indigenous Affairs Minister Alan Carpenter labelled the community "a tragic disgrace". He said "We are living in the 21st century, yet a component of our society is living in the Dark Ages where people are routinely bashed, raped and possibly murdered including 21⁄2 year old children".[17]
- 3 June 2003 the State Liberal Party reversed its opposition to the forced closure of the camp: "You will get this bill through parliament if you can give assurances as to the immediate care, the welfare, the safety, the protection, the housing of the people living in the Swan Valley community, both now and long term"[18] After the Reserves (Reserve 43131) Act 2003 passed through Parliament the Opposition spokesman for Aboriginal Affairs, Derrick Tomlinson, resigned in protest.[19] On 12 June 2003 Greens senator Jim Scott called for an inquiry into the Government's use of legislation to close the community: "This is an incredibly serious piece of legislation in that it infringes on people's rights in a way it has never been done before".[20]
- 13 June 2003 the Swan Valley Nyungah Community was closed and police were given an order to remove any inhabitants from the reserve. State housing was arranged for several residents and others were forced to seek shelter elsewhere.[21] Robert Bropho commenced a hunger strike on the steps of Parliament House, protesting the closure. He said he would not eat until there was an inquiry into the Reserves Act. Bropho was arrested outside Parliament House on 20 June 2003 and charged with 9 counts of sexually assaulting his sister's granddaughter. He told the media "There's no fair trial for me here. I'm wondering if there is a safe court to go to in this state".[22]
- 25 June 2003 Bropho ended his hunger strike with the establishment of the Upper House Select Committee Inquiry into the Reserves [Reserves 43131] Bill 2003, by the Greens, Liberals and the Nationals.[23]
Select Committee Inquiry[edit]
In 2003 and 2004, the closure was reviewed by a Legislative Council appointed inquiry known as the "Select Committee on Reserves (Reserve 43131) Bill 2003".[24] The inquiry report found that Premier Geoff Gallop's decision "to act rapidly, by-passing all normal processes, was justified on false information".[25] It also found that the Government "was not in a position to accommodate former residents of the SVNC quickly" and had "significantly underestimated the number of families and individuals requiring assistance".[26]
Sue Gordon, who was interviewed by the Select Committee and said: "I would not single out the Swan Valley Nyungah Community. That was just in the media the most because of Mr Bropho and the allegations against him. There are allegations against a lot of other so-called leaders but they do not get as much publicity".[27] Sue Gordon, who said the Swan Valley Nyungah Community was "an adequate and reasonably well maintained facility"[28] also said "I do not think there are any similarities whatsoever between a management order and a memorandum of understanding".[29]
Other evidence submitted at the inquiry included that of Mr David Pedler, Acting Assistant Director, Regional Management, Department of Indigenous Affairs. Pedler submitted briefing notes regarding the proposed closure which said: "The Bropho family are the only individuals that could be defined as 'permanent residents' of SVNC ..."; "The community is simply a facility that is dominated by the Bropho family, provides housing to selected transient people and provides office and other facilities, that cater solely for the activities of Mr Robert Bropho"; and "SVNC is essentially a closed community. The closed nature of the community is primarily achieved by dominance and intimidation of residents by the Bropho family."[30]

We booked the house for 2 days,
Flush doesnt work in the main toilet,
House was not furnished properly and gave a very empty and spooky vibe.
for all this the owner OVERCHARGED us on a crazy amount of 576rm for two nights,
Also the beach pictures posted in his listing is sadly nothing compared to the beach located near the homestay.
Also there was used rolls of tissue around the living room, which was disgusting.

The place is awesome and everybody in my family loves the place. But our biggest disappointment is that the administrative part of it. The above mobile number was not active/switch off when I tried to call around 1.30am. I tried many times till 3.00pm. After my payment (online payment) at iBilik, I did not get the address of the place. What I had was the map to this place. We managed to find the place around 3pm but nobody around. We called iBilik to inform about our situation and they too do not have any other number beside the one listed in this page. Finally we manage to find a number (owner's sister mobile number) and called her. After a while the owner called me (from a different number) and informed me that her phone battery was out and there was a miscommunication and asked us to wait till 6pm in order for them to clean the place. Anyway, they have given us the place around 5.10pm. It was my worst experience because I was in front of the house with all my family members but cannot get the owner and iBilik do not have any other number to contact her. Although the owner gave me extra hours for us to check-out but putting all of us in the great pressure for almost 3 hours is a bad experience. Hope the owner and especially iBilik do something about this.

Hi, Mr Moganandass, we were so sorry about the matter, otherwise we will make sure everything going smooth for the coming reservation, thanks for your opinion.

Prior to this past week, Jonathan Papelbon had converted all 13 of his save opportunities. But last night against the Padres, he dropped another bomb on the Phillies; it was his 4th blown save in his last 5 attempts. Red alert! The Phillies have been Papelbombed! Worse than that, starting pitcher Cliff Lee took a 3-0 lead into the 9th inning before the bomb dropped. After putting 2 men on base, Lee was pulled and the air raid ensued. Papelbon gave up a 2-run single, hit the next batter and then managed a double-play ball. But with 2 outs and a runner on third, catcher Carlos Ruiz let the next pitch sail past him, which scored the tying run. The end result was a mind-blowing, 10-inning 3-4 loss to the Padres. Please excuse me while I vomit… The Phillies bullpen is the worst in all of baseball with a 4.67 ERA entering last night's game. Now every starter on this team has to think that if he cannot go all 9 innings, he has no shot at a win. Just take a quick look at the pen's instabili...

Stefano Domenicali will reportedly start work at Audi next week.
Earlier this month, reports emerged that the former Ferrari team boss had accepted an offer to work for the Volkswagen-owned carmaker.

A video has emerged that clearly depicts Sebastian Vettel overtaking under yellow flag conditions during Sunday's Brazilian grand prix.
It is a separate incident to the 2012 world champion's pass on Kamui Kobayashi at Interlagos, which turned out to have actually taken place under yellow and orange caution flags.
Nov 06
Sebastian Vettel managed even to impress the Ferrari-loving Italian press with his historic race through the field in Abu Dhabi.
"The German is unmatched," said Corriere dello Sport. "He showed all his talent that had been hidden behind his superior Red Bull," the newspaper added, referring to Vettel's climb from dead last in the pitlane to third at the flag. "He is a driver on a par with Alonso and perhaps even beyond."
Oct 16
Sep 17
Flavio Briatore thinks Ferrari should sign Felipe Massa for another season.
The Italian team is openly undecided over its choice of teammate for Fernando Alonso next year, but former Renault boss Briatore said: "I would keep Massa for another year". "Massa is a good driver but he should never compare his times with those of Alonso," Italian Briatore is quoted by Corriere dello Sport."
Aug 03
A Ferrari spokesman was quoted as saying the accusation is "completely untrue"
A reportedly "furious" Ferrari has hit back at Red Bull, after the reigning champions suggested the famous Italian team broke the rules "for a year". Frustrated with the constant technical controversies involving Red Bull in 2012, the team's Dr Helmut Marko said this week that actually "Ferrari used something like that for a year".
May 15
Mar 18
Ferrari has made a "devastating start" to the 2012 season, the Italian sports newspaper Corriere dello Sport has blasted.
"The new season could barely have begun worse," said the report. Felipe Massa qualified sixteenth for Sunday's Australian grand prix, while Fernando Alonso also failed to make the 'Q3′ cut when he spun into the gravel.
Mar 08
Ferrari has set to work to fix a problem at the rear of its troubled F2012 car, Italy's Autosprint reports.
The report said initial winter testing highlighted problems with the car's exhaust solution, prompting Pat Fry to order the outlets be moved inwards. This, however, left the homologated portion of the chassis that housed the original exhausts intact, with modification to require a new FIA crash test.

I'm trying to get an instance of my AppDelegate accessible to all methods in each ViewController that I have. If I try to declare it with other class variables I get
Initializer Element is not a compile-time constant. If I declare it in a method within the ViewController however I am able to use it. I am trying to save integers and floats to properties I have set up in the AppDelegate (a big no-no I know, but this is a project for an introductory class and I'm not expected to get too advanced, especially since everything we've done so far is not compliant with the MVC paradigm). The app uses a toolbar to switch between views using the app's ViewController to load the other ViewControllers as subviews. I was going to put the AppDelegate declaration and update statements in the ViewDidUnload method of each view controller, but I'm not sure that the Views are unloaded whenever they are switched (they're switched by removing the current View from the SuperView and loading the new one as a Subview at index 0). What happens to the views that are not currently being viewed then? Is there a method that detects that that I could implement the AppDelegate declaration and updates into?
I guess ideally I'd like to be able to access the AppDelegate object in any method in my ViewControllers because I have a lot of quantities being updated throughout and would like to have those quantities updated in the AppDelegates values as soon as they happen, since I'm not sure what happens with a View is cleared from SuperView
Thanks in advance everyone

Wy wife and I are thinking about traveling to St. Barths this summer in early July and were wondering if the Tom Beach Hotel might be too much of a loud, drunk, party atmosphere for us. We are in our early 40's and are active and like a lively, but not cheesy, environment. We usually stay at upscale boutique hotels but many of the ones in St. Barths looked to us like they are not ideally located or are not on or within walking distance of a nice beach.
The Tom Beach Hotel seems to be ideally located for us with restaurants and stores in walking distance, with a nice beach, which is key for us . The service gets very good reviews as well. We considered the Eden Rock but it is a bit too pricey for us (we are looking to keep it to under $750 a night or so).
If anyone can share their experiences at the Tom Beach and what the vibe may be like at the hotel and restaurant/bar, it would be much appreciated. While we are not looking for a quiet secluded spot, we also are not looking to be surrounded by people constantly getting drunk and obnoxious (not saying that the Tom Beach is like that - we just don't know and it's hard to tell from the reviews).
If there are other places that may better fit the bill (nice beach and luxurious accommodations) please let us know.

The 'Ākohekohe has a distinctive, forward-sweeping white crest that gives the bird its English name, Crested Honeycreeper. The striking crest helps pollinate native plants as the bird moves from flower to flower while feeding.
Threats to this unique honeycreeper include habitat destruction by human settlers and their pigs, goats, and sheep; predation by non-native cats, rats, mongooses, and Barn Owls; and mosquito-borne diseases, which have devastated native bird populations. Historically, the ʻĀkohekohe's unusual appearance also made it desirable to collectors.
Last Stand on Maui
The wet, high-altitude rainforests where this species can be found are estimated to cover only 5 percent of its original range. The 'Ākohekohe was formerly found elsewhere on Maui, and also on the island of Molokaʻi, where it is now considered extinct.
'Ākohekohe maintain year-round territories around their nests or nectar sources. They are highly aggressive and territorial, chasing off native rivals such as the 'Apapane and 'I'iwi when competing for food. 'Ākohekohe usually feed on 'ōhi'a flower nectar, but will take nectar from other native plants, as well as insects and fruits. Their breeding season coincides with 'ōhi'a bloom, and multiple broods are common, with up to three clutches per year.
Ongoing Conservation Efforts
'Ākohekohe were listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1967. Ongoing conservation measures for the species include protecting and restoring native forest – particularly above the mosquito zone – and removal of feral ungulates. The 'Ākohekohe and its habitat also benefit from fencing that excludes these hoofed mammals from important reserves like the state's Hanawi Natural Area Reserve, Haleakalā National Park, and The Nature Conservancy's Waikamoi Preserve.
In 2009, ABC established its Hawai'i Program, a long-term conservation effort aimed at reversing the decline of endangered Hawaiian birds such as the 'Ākohekohe, Maui Parrotbill, Millerbird, and Hawaiian Petrel.

One NIH-supported study found a link between mindfulness meditation and measurable changes in the brain regions involved in memory, learning and emotion.
Another NIH-funded researcher reported that mindfulness practices may reduce anxiety and hostility among urban youth and lead to reduced stress, fewer fights and better relationships.
A major benefit of mindfulness is that it encourages you to pay attention to your thoughts, your actions and your body. For example, studies have shown that mindfulness can help people achieve and maintain a healthy weight. "It is so common for people to watch TV and eat snack food out of the box without really attending to how much they are eating," said Chesney. "With mindful eating, you eat when you're hungry, focus on each bite, enjoy your food more and stop when you're full."
Finding time for mindfulness in our culture, however, can be a challenge. We tend to place great value on how much we can do at once and how fast. Still, being more mindful is within anyone's reach.
You can practice mindfulness throughout the day, even while answering e-mails, sitting in traffic or waiting in line. All you have to do is become more aware — of your breath, of your feet on the ground, of your fingers typing, of the people and voices around you.
Chesney noted that as people start to learn how to be more mindful, it's common and normal to realize how much your mind races and focuses on the past and future. You can just notice those thoughts and then return to the present moment. It is these little, regular steps that add up and start to create a more mindful, healthy life.
The concept of mindfulness is simple, but becoming a more mindful person requires commitment and practice. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Contract workers set up tents in the vicinity of the EDL building in Beirut, Thursday, Aug. 14, 2014. (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: Energy Minister Arthur Nazarian called on striking EDL contract workers to give up on their ineffective 'riots,' saying no good will come from them.
Nazarian stressed on the necessity to "give up the riots because they do not bring any good and they represent an occupation of EDL, affecting the company's ability to function."
EDL Chairman Kamal Hayek echoed Nazarian, stressing that the law protected everyone and calling on the workers to "calm down" because what they were doing were "riots and not rightful demonstrations."
The pair spoke at a news conference at the Energy Ministry at noon, which was also attended by former Labor Minister Salim Jreissati.
The main speaker at the event, Jreissati criticized the striking contract workers, warning of possible legal repercussions while saying the law being protested was fair.
"A law shall only be modified by a law, and not by any violence in the street or assaults on public properties," he said.
He argued that the "era of showing off force against the state has ended," adding that the workers were committing many "criminal acts" during their protests.
"The penal code states many crimes that you are committing now," he said, addressing the workers, "including the crime of violating the freedom to work with the aim of pressuring public authorities."
"Your crimes are witnessed, and what you are doing is not at all a strike that the relevant laws allow."
Jreissati said employing all of the approximately 2,000 striking workers "violates the most basic legal rules" and stressed that the Parliament's law was clear on the matter.
Describing Electricite du Liban's decision to limit its employment needs to 879 workers as a fair arrangement, Jreissati slammed the politicization of the workers' movement.
"Lift your grasp off the innocent workers," he said, addressing politicians he did not name, "because the law protects the rights of those workers."
His speech came after some 200 striking electricity contract workers blocked all entrances to the Electricite du Liban headquarters earlier Monday, with one of them trying to light himself on fire in protest.
Security sources told The Daily Star the protesters had sealed off all four entry points to EDL, preventing employees from entering the premises.
Some protesters burned tires at the EDL headquarters in the Beirut neighborhood of Mar Mikhael.
The sources said a protester, identified as Amer Musa, sipped fuel and poured some on his body in an attempt to light himself on fire.
But Musa became nauseous after drinking fuel and was rushed a nearby hospital.
Riot police deployed outside EDL stood guard, preventing any confrontation between the protesters and employees.
Around 9 a.m., EDL employees gave up on entering the building and left, while the company's chairman and members of the board of directors headed to the nearby Energy Ministry for an urgent meeting with Energy Minister Arthur Nazarian.
EDL has called on striking workers to report to duty Monday. A similar call for attendance was issued by the service provider National Electric Utility, which warned the workers would face strict measures if they failed to show up for work Monday. NEU, which has a contract with EDL to perform maintenance work in south Lebanon and the southern part of Mount Lebanon, employs many of the striking workers.
The protesters have said they were ready for a showdown with their employer Monday, insisting they would not back down on their demand for full-time employment at EDL for all of the nearly 2,000 contract workers. EDL has only agreed to hire 897 of them.

With The Cottage Builder's Letter, gifted poet George Murray comes into his own with a new book of sumptuous lyrical narratives. He constructs his remarkable stories-in-song around challenges in the lives of people claiming their right to exist in a world seemingly set against them. Highly crafted, generous in tone, and always with a moral authority, The Cottage Builder's Letter tackles the larger historical issues of Murray's own Irish background by creating heroes of well-storied, fictional characters such as a nameless Muskoka cottage builder, the singular Seamus Me Fein (Seamus myself), and his parents and his grandparents, vaulting their hard luck and hard work into poetry driven by bardic rhythms. Murray re-invigorates traditional rhythms the same way he surprises us by creating fresh figures from old tales. Whether his subject is a modern-day Damocles, a drowning man waiting for Noah, an Egyptian on the Red Sea, or the Cassandra myth updated to contemporary urban scenes, Murray's poetry bursts with a protean vigour.
"[Murray] demonstrates that a firm controlling metaphor in a poem need not obviate the free play of imagination.…Highly impressive.…"–Globe and Mail
George Murray's four books of poetry are Carousel, The Cottage Builder's Letter, The Hunter, and, most recently, The Rush to Here. His work has appeared in many newspapers and magazines in Canada, and in the U.S. and Australia, including Descant,… More about George Murray

Dimensions are approximate.
For condensed info, see the Specs page.
On LENTRY Systems, you choose the height of the telescoping light or lights. All LENTRY Lights are available in standard height or extra tall XT. Optup and V-Spec LEDs are also available as Hi-Lites.
Usually, taller is better for scene lighting (flagger lighting, too). The drawback of taller lights is that they take more storage space and weigh a bit more. Hi-Lites are so tall they can be challenging to set up, so should only be chosen in special cases where very tall lighting is needed. In general, the higher the light source, the better for illuminating large areas and greater distances.
All LENTRY Systems illuminate large areas better than low-sitting conventional generator sets.
If you are unsure about which height will work best for you, or want even more flexibility in height, consider purchasing an extra telescoping pole in any of the three heights. Call for details.
Photos at right: Three photos and two different heights. James with a standard height model 1OPUPS, legs and light fully extended. XT unit 1OPUPX shown in the middle and right photo, with the light down and up. Click to enlarge.
All LENTRY light heads are removable from the pole if they have the new Quick Release option and all telescoping poles disconnect from the rest of the unit.
"Standard" is our nice way of saying "short."
Below: Model 1SPECS - 1000W unit with standard height V-Spec LED
Right: Model 1OPUPS holds its head above the brush.
Consider the popular on-the-ground generator sets...
...How useful would a conventional gas-powered flashlight be in tall grass?
Above: James aims 1OPUPS down a steep hill.
LENTRY Units with standard height lights stand about 4.5 feet (56 inches) with legs and lights fully extended. This does not seem like much, but it's often all you need to overcome obstacles and light the scene. Those few feet make all the difference in functionality.
Standard height lights are often left connected at all times because they are so compact. Lights fold foward, to the side, or over the top to accomodate different storage spaces.
XT Height
"XT" stands for "eXtra Tall."
LENTRY Units with XT lights stand about 8.5 to 9 feet tall with the legs and light fully extended.
With just the legs extended and the light down all the way, XT units are still about five and a half feet tall.
Ken stands next to a custom model, 2SPECXXS,
LENTRY model 1OPUPX shown.
LENTRY Unit with an XT light, completely retracted. Model 1SPECX shown.
LENTRY Unit with the 2-Headed light partially extended shown (XT height). Model 2TXHDX
Three LENTRY Systems, models 2OPUPH, 2STARH, and 2SPECH, are available and Hi-Lite height!
↑ Picture 12: This 13-foot light is tall even when it is retracted! It is probably not a good light for those who are vertically challenged!
Lead time is four weeks.
LENTRY Systems with Hi-Lites stand 13 feet tall, with legs and lights fully extended. The minimum height of the light by itself would still be approximately 6 feet long.
At left is a custom LENTRY System for a customer in the Oregon DOT who needed lighting for flaggers that stood 13 feet high. It features a Hi-Lite height Optup halogen. James is 6'-2". We would not recommend extending it to its full height in a windstorm, but it is quite stable because of the LENTRY Legs' wide footprint. This unit proved so valuable to the first customer that we now offer three Hi-Lite models.
Please note: Hi-Lites are so tall—even when they are not extended—that they may take two people, one really tall person, or a person and a step ladder to set up!
← Picture 13: James stands next to the LENTRY Hi-Lite System, fully extended, produced for a customer with the Department of Transportation, for use in lighting flaggers.
↑ Picture 14: While trying to take photos of upgraded model 2SPECX Hi-Lite, Joan who is 5'-8" tall, was unable to extend it by herself. Ken helped her, and still needed to use a step stool. Ken is over 6' tall.
Side by Side: All Heights
Custom LENTRY Units with two or three lights (separate telescoping lights held by dual or triple light bases), can show the relative sizes well.
Pictures 13-15 show LENTRY Units with the EU2000i generator and two lights, one standard and one XT. Pictures 16 and 17 show a LENTRY Unit with the EU2000i generator and three lights, one of each height (standard, XT and Hi-Lite).
Picture 17: Lights and legs fully extended on a custom unit with the EU2000i generator and two halogens (one standard and one XT).
Pictures 18 and 19: Custom EU2000i unit with three lights, one of each height (standard Optup, XT V-Spec LED, and Hi-Lite V-Spec LED). All lights are retracted above and fully extended at right.
Picture 15: Two lights, XT and standard height, disconnected
Picture 16: If lights are left connected to the rest of the unit, the configurations are endless. This is a custom unit with two lights, one XT and one standard.
