GIO Insurance Limited - through Marsh provides a policy of insurance for construction work in the Territory Capital Works Program including road works and other civil works. The policy covers the works and third party liability. ACT Contracts and Purchasing, Department of Urban Services administers this "principal controlled insurance" arrangement. ACT Government Agencies and Agents involved in construction projects should be aware of this insurance policy, particularly its exemptions and special conditions. The aim of this Guideline is to ensure that the Territory"s insurance broker is notified of contracts as they are let. AGENCIES NOT USING THIS POLICY ACT Agencies deciding not to use this insurance policy for Agency construction projects, must scrutinise the contractor"s proposed insurance policies, and closely monitor the continuity of insurance arrangements for the life of each project. SCOPE The Policy covers insurance of the works in progress and public liability. It may also be used for construction projects outside the Capital Works Program. The period of the insurance cover is from 30 April 1999 to 30 June 2002 at 4.00pm Local Standard Time (both days inclusive). All contracts let in the period of insurance by, through or notified by: ACT Contracts and Purchasing; Totalcare Industries Limited, including Engineering Maintenance Division, when the Principal is the Territory; ACT Housing; ACT agencies, authorities and instrumentalities; and Territory Owned Corporations are covered by the insurance policy. Projects containing a significant demolition component valued at more than $100,000 require special notification to Marsh Pty Ltd (see also "Exemptions" below). The insured parties include the Territory and: all subsidiary and related corporations of Totalcare Industries Ltd; all Joint Ventures on behalf of the Territory where the Territory accepts the responsibility for insurance; all Contractors and sub-contractors engaged on Territory projects; suppliers whilst on site; and ACT Contracts and Purchasing November 1999 Principal Controlled Insurance for Construction Work any other party or person where an obligation under contract or agreement exists for works associated with construction of the project. EXEMPTIONS The Policy is subject to certain exemptions, conditions and excesses. In particular the policy does not provide cover for the Contractor"s or the Contractors" employees" tools, machinery plant equipment or mechanically propelled vehicles except as may be included in the Works. The policy also excludes any contract: that includes asbestos removal; that involves demolition where blasting or explosives are used unless pre-advised and terms are agreed; and where the demolition component exceeds $100,000 unless pre-advised and terms are agreed. Note: Where the Contractor is responsible for arranging insurance for projects that are excluded from the Marsh arranged insurance policy, the tender and contract clause at Attachment C should not be included in the contract conditions for those projects. Agencies should seek advice from ACT Contracts and Purchasing or the ACT Government Solicitor on appropriate clauses. Also, the Principal should not give 'possession of the site' to the Contractor until proof is supplied of insurance cover for the excluded project or excluded project activities. COPIES OF THE POLICY Copies of the policy are held by ACT Contracts and Purchasing and are available for distribution to Contractors, Consultants, Project Managers, Works Managers and Agencies. INSURABLE CONTRACT WORK Insurable contract work should be arranged in the following manner. Contracts Valued Over $50,000 1. Project Insurance Cover Prior to the issue of a Request for Tender the client Agency or the client Agency"s consultant or project director, eg Totalcare, should confirm in writing to ACT Contracts and Purchasing that: all construction activities for the particular project are covered under the Principal Controlled Insurance Policy; and identify any activities excluded under the policy or that no excluded activities are proposed. 2. Notification to Marsh Pty Ltd and other interested parties. Following the evaluation of tenders (over $50,000 in value), copies of the Letter of Acceptance (LOA) to the successful Tenderer (with notation "CC: Marsh Pty Ltd) should be sent by the responsible Agency to: the Superintendent and/or the Agency officer responsible for supervising the construction work; Marsh Pty Ltd - the LOA should indicate the lump sum value of the contract, or for contracts with a Schedule of Rates, indicate the extended contract value; and ACT Contracts and Purchasing Policy November 1999 Principal Controlled Insurance for Construction Work when an Agency other than ACT Contracts and Purchasing raises the LOA, ACT Contracts and Purchasing. ACT Contracts and Purchasing is responsible for the administration of the insurance arrangement with Marsh. Where a Project Manager is engaged to manage a project, copies of the Project Manager"s letters of engagement should be sent to Marsh and should include the following information: for projects under $3 million in value, the estimated total project value. The Project Manager receives the Marsh invoice and is responsible for payment of the insurance premium; and for projects $3 million and over, the estimated value of the Project Manager"s reimbursable works. Contracts let for each trade package under this arrangement require individual notification to Marsh by sending a copy of the LOA for each trade package, as each trade contractor is responsible for payment of insurance premiums. Copies of all LOAs sent to Marsh are also retained by ACT Contracts and Purchasing, including the fax confirmation advice attached to the copy of the LOA. It should be noted that difficulties in settling insurance claims might be experienced if any intended project is not notified to Marsh. 3. Insurance Premium For contracts of value greater than $50,000, contractors are required to pay the insurance premium, which is 0.303% of the contract sum, within 30 days of receipt of the Marsh invoice. Proof of payment (provision of the cheque number and date will suffice) should be presented to the Superintendent before the first or, allowing for the Marsh premium invoice payment period, subsequent contract payment is made. 4. Excluded Activities On projects involving activities excluded from Policy cover, the Contractor will be required to take out additional insurance cover for the excluded activities. The standard contract clauses should be modified to reflect this and the Contractor must provide evidence of this additional insurance cover prior to being given "possession of the site". 5. Claims In addition to Marsh being notified of any claims, the Project Director or client Agency should be notified by the Contractor and/or Superintendent of any occurrence that may give rise to a claim under the Policy. The Project Director or client Agency should then advise ACT Contracts and Purchasing. The Superannuation & Insurance Provision Unit, Department of Treasury and Infrastructure will be notified by ACT Contracts and Purchasing of any claims exceeding $5m. The Unit will subsequently make a disclosure to the insurers of the Treasury and Infrastructure fund. 6. Review of Insurance Cover Project Directors and client Agencies should continually review the level of insurance cover required for each project, based on project size and nature, and advise ACT Contracts and Purchasing. ACT Contracts and Purchasing Policy November 1999 Principal Controlled Insurance for Construction Work 7. Missing Insurable Projects Each quarter a list will be obtained from Marsh by ACT Contracts and Purchasing of all insured projects for that quarter. The list is then sent to ACT Agencies (including Totalcare and ACT Housing) with a request for a list of other non-listed projects to be returned to ACT Contracts and Purchasing. A list of any missing projects is then sent to Marsh. Contracts Valued Less Than $50,000 1. Insurance Premium For contracts valued at less than $50,000, Contractors are not invoiced for the cost of the insurance premium as this is included in the bulk premium advance payment made by ACT Contracts and Purchasing to Marsh. The advanced payment is based on the total value of projects valued less than $50,000 in the previous year (for 1999 the premium is based on $6 million) - note that very low value orders for goods and services that may not be directly related to physical construction work can be included in the policy arrangements. 2. List of Agency Contracts and Purchase Orders Once a quarter Agencies should provide a list (refer to Attachment D) of minor contracts and purchase orders that are less than $50,000 to ACT Contracts and Purchasing. This list will be forwarded to Marsh for inclusion in the bulk premium arrangement. Short form contracts estimated to be under $50,000 but with an actual contract value at completion above $50,000 are still covered by the bulk premium arrangement. Adjustment to the Insurance Premium. If the value of the Final Certificate varies from the original contract sum by more than plus or minus 15%, the insurance premium for the project will be adjusted by ACT Contracts and Purchasing in consultation with Marsh Pty Ltd. It may be necessary for the client to fund any extra premium amount. OTHER TERRITORY ARRANGED ISURANCE The third party liability level has been established at $10 million as the Territory has excess liability, or "catastrophe", insurance cover, arranged by the Department of Treasury and Infrastructure, that protects the Territory for claims in excess of this amount. Contractors are not covered by the Territory"s excess liability insurance policy. ACT Contracts and Purchasing Policy November 1999 Principal Controlled Insurance for Construction Work INSURANCE BROKER REPORTS Quarterly reports are provided to ACT Contracts and Purchasing by Marsh Pty Ltd that include the following information for the quarter: listed insurable projects over $50,000; claims registered; claims settled; and the status of claims outstanding. ACT Contracts and Purchasing Policy November 1999 Principal Controlled Insurance for Construction Work ATTACHMENT C TENDER AND CONTRACT CLAUSES INSURANCE OF THE WORKS AND PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE A Policy has been arranged for Insurance of the Works and Public Liability Insurance through Marsh Pty Ltd (formerly Sedgwick Limited). The Policy Number is CI0034730 and the insurer is GIO Insurance Limited. The Contractor shall use this Policy of insurance, and pay all premiums required. For work completed before 1 July 2000 the premium for construction projects without a significant demolition component is 0.303% of the contract lump sum. The insurance cover premium for work performed after 1 July 2000 will need GST adjustment. See Section xx. Together with the first claim for payment the Contractor must provide evidence which is acceptable to the Superintendent of payment of the insurance of the works and public liability policy premium. The value of the premium may be included in the first claim for payment. The Principal shall not be liable to pay the amount of the first progress certificate unless and until the Contractor has provided proof of payment of the premium. The Policy is in the names of the Principal, all Contractors, Sub-Contractors, Construction Managers, Project Managers, etc. A copy of the Policy may be obtained from ACT Contracts and Purchasing at: Level 4, Macarthur House 12 Wattle Street LYNEHAM ACT 2602. The Policy is subject to certain exemptions, conditions and excesses. In particular the policy does not provide cover for the Contractor"s or the Contractors employees" tools, machinery plant equipment or mechanically propelled vehicles except as may be included in the Works. The existence of the Policy shall not limit the liability of the Contractor to deliver up the Works completed in all respects in accordance with the Contract, the Liability of the Contractor to third parties nor in any way prevent the Contractor from effecting any additional insurances if so desired at the Contractor's cost.

YMMV: Fall of Cthulhu
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: Cy, after going utterly insane due to the events of the Godwar, losing everyone he loved, and being utterly powerless for much of the story ends up personally thwarting Nyarlathotep's plans at the cost of his own life, by banishing him back to the court of Azathoth. Even Nodens is impressed by this.
- The Harlot also deserves much of the credit, as it was her plan and aid that enabled this
- Ensemble Darkhorse: The Harlot, a green-skinned mutant of a woman in a doll's outfit, is probably the closest we'll ever get to Fan Disservice in a Lovecraft story. That she out-manuevered Nyarlathotep and manipulated the entire cast might have something to do with it, too.

Pakistan: Women Human Rights Defenders Day marked in Lahore
South Asia Partnership Pakistan (SAP) in collaboration with Women Workers Help Line, Kashf Foundation and Shirkat Gah organised a walk in solidarity with the women rights activists outside Lahore Press Club on Monday.
A large number of activists of women NGOs participated in the walk to mark the international day for women rights activists. They were holding placards and banners inscribed with the slogans to end violence against women and honour killing. They also chanted slogans for their rights.
They demanded equal economic opportunities to the women so they could save their rights. They said women were being exploited by their families in the name of values. The activists urged media and civil society to launch an awareness campaign to end the violence against women.
LAHORE: Different non-governmental organisations got together for the International Women Human Rights Defenders Day. Shirkat Gah and South Asia Partnership (SAP) Pakistan organised a solidarity walk at the Lahore Press Club on Monday.
Dozens of other women rights activists from all over Punjab also participated in the walk. The day is celebrated in connection to the '16 Days of Activism' to reject and prevent violence against women.
Talking to Daily Times, SAP Media Coordinator Farzana Mumtaz said, "We are paying tribute to the defenders of women's rights. Pakistan is not only facing violence against women, but also the people who are working for women rights have also been under pressure. We want to create an atmosphere where every person should live freely."
Talking about the blasphemy law, she said that every anti-human law must be eliminated from Pakistan. "We would try our best to eliminate these types of laws from our society. We as women human rights defenders, peace activists, human rights advocates, feminists, young and old, around the world, should speak out against all forms of violence and commit ourselves to the values of equality and peace."

"I'm having a baseball themed 1st bday for my son and this invitation was just what I was looking for! I loved how easy it was to personalize and the colors of the overall invitation. I could choose my font colors and designs as well. I felt they were very affordable and I've gotten nothing but comments back from my family and friends I sent them to!"
"Just received my party invitations. From online ordering to delivery has been a breeze. The quality of invitations are superb. I'm a UK customer and delivery was prompt and I was kept informed about the progress of my order. It's very simple to edit and personalise your chosen product. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for unique quality invitations."
"I chose to use this card for my son's high school graduation party invitation. I wanted a patriotic color palette since he is joining the military. I felt this was a more mature and elegant option than most graduation designs. I used the same fonts and colors as the example. I was able to add his senior picture to the back. This card turned out beautiful as do all that I order from Tiny Prints!"

A wonder of modern architecture, this French-owned gem is a prism-shaped structure that juts over the street and widens as it rises; design sensibility shines in guest rooms, too, with honey maple–wood furnishings, Barcelona chairs, and marble bathrooms. The sophisticated Café des Architectes—which has seasonal outdoor seating—is notable for its 30-minute executive lunch, while Le Bar is like a den, with comfortable seating and a fireplace.

Although the Sofitel may be a lovely place to stay, their customer service is just awful. Several times I contacted them, via the website link provided, regarding a reservation I had made for July, 2012. I received no response at all to my repeated requests and questions about cancelling my reservation. The hotel actually charged me the first night's reservation (nearly $200), then refused to respond when I requested a refund. Although I eventually
located their reservation and cancellation policies on their website, it is extraordinarly difficult to find. I consider their practices deceptive and misleading at best. I have never, in countless reservations I have made through different hotel websites, encountered this issue. Please beware.

The Sofitel Water Tower is a European hotel in style and size--some will love this, some will miss more space in the room. Overall, my experience left me pleased, having received the level of service and attention to detail that I would expect at a Sofitel. The room was sleek contemporary in decor--but warm--and with excellent closet space, views, linens, and sound insulation. The bed was exceptionally comfortable! The bathroom was spacious, with
an array of lovely L'Occitane products, as well as a deep soaking tub and separate shower. The bar is a great spot for a drink or two--with many locals coming in for an after work or pre-event cocktail (I used to come in myself when I lived in Chicago). You can't beat the location--just a block or two off of Michigan Avenue, near plenty of great dining options. I'd recommend for business or pleasure!

We stayed here for just one night after almost 2 weeks of cheap accommodation in DC and NY and absolutely loved it. Yes it was expensive but it was so excellent. The rooms aren't huge I guess compared to US sizes but it's a hotel not your home. The restaurant was fine too and excellent breakfast.

We stayed here for 5 nights in early December. I thought the rooms would be bigger. Dont get me wrong it was nice, but for the price I would have liked a little more room to move around. The people at the hotel were great though. Very good service.

Did Nicole Kidman have a 'suspiciously' smooth face at Cannes?
suspiciously, half-a-million extra ballot papers have been printed for the referendum.
He raised the device in front of his face, eyeing it suspiciously from behind his Eugene Levy eyebrows.
"deserving of or exciting suspicion," mid-14c., from Old French suspecious, from Latin suspiciosus "exciting suspicion" (see suspicion). Meaning "full of or inclined to feel suspicion" is attested from c.1400. Edgar Allan Poe (c.1845) proposed suspectful to take one of the two conflicting senses. Related: suspiciously; suspiciousness.

44 year old man | Norcross, GA, USA | Seeking women 34-44 within 50 miles
Life is an adventure which need to be share between partners
I have been living in atlanta for the last 13years and still enjoy the city and what it has to offer. I come from a very internationnal background and I have lived in many countries before settling down in Georgia. I have no preconceived notions on dating and no checklist to check off. That being said, I like to laugh above all else. A sense of humor is the easiest and least time consuming way to get to know me. In a nutshell, I like to go out for coffee or drinks where there is decent music and chill out. I have a passion for film, travel, ski, pool, horse riding and I'm always looking for new things to explore. I grew up in France and moved to Atlanta for professional reasons in 2000. I love my job, but I feel I work more to have a goal of a fruitful life, travel, and be around friends and family. In terms of who I'm looking for, I'd like to be around someone who is positive and healthy. Hope to attract someone who is moving forward and not afraid of change. I would love to meet somebody with enough maturity to know what it takes to make a relationship work and know that things will not always be easy and that's ok. I can't wait to hear from you...

I've recently updated the report server components on our SP server with R2 Service Pack 3. Suffice it to say... it should include the cumulative update 11 that was mentioned in many articles before.
The export menu still doesn't work. Note: we are on IE 10
I've updated the ReportViewer.dwp with the recommended meta tag..... again, still does not work.
The only way I can get it to work is by changing the document mode settings in IE to 8. Whhhaaaaat?!
As Sebastien recommended, I've also updated the add-in (http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=622) and yet the issue persists.
Anyone else have anything else they've tried that was successful?

CHICAGO — President Barack Obama has turned over his re-election prospects to the voters.
Obama closed down his campaign late Monday with a nostalgia-filled rally in Iowa, the state that jumpstarted his first presidential bid. He'll spend Election Day in his hometown of Chicago, making his last appeals to voters in satellite interviews rather than a final flurry of campaign rallies.
"It all comes down to you," Obama told supporters in Des Moines on Monday. "It's out of my hands now. It's in yours."
The president heads into Election Day tied with Republican challenger Mitt Romney in national polls. But in some of the key battleground states, including Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin, that will decide the White House race, Obama appears to have a slight edge.
Obama spent Monday night at the South Side home where he lived with his family before moving to the White House. The Obamas had pledged to come back to Chicago frequently, but the realities of the presidency and the security concerns that come with it made those trips a rarity.
There will be no traditional Election Day photo opportunity of Obama casting his ballot Tuesday. The president voted in Chicago last week, part of his campaign's efforts to promote early voting. First lady Michelle Obama mailed in an absentee ballot.
One tradition Obama will keep is an Election Day basketball game.
In 2008, Obama played basketball with aides before his win in the kickoff Iowa caucuses. The president and his aides decided to make the games an Election Day tradition after they lost the next contest — the New Hampshire primary — on a day when they didn't hit the court.
"We made the mistake of not playing basketball once. I can assure you we will not repeat that," said Robert Gibbs, a longtime Obama aide who joined the president on the road for the campaign's waning days.
The president plans to have lunch and dinner at his home, but will decamp to a downtown Chicago hotel for parts of the day. He'll sit for a series of satellite interviews with television and radio stations and urge his supporters to get to the polls.
Obama will be joined at the hotel later by his family, several close friends and his top aides to watch the election returns. Once a winner is declared, Obama will climb into his black armored limousine and depart for his campaign's election night party at the McCormick Place convention center, where he will either deliver a victory speech or a concession.
Win or lose, Obama's election night party will look far different than it did four years ago, when 125,000 people gathered on an unseasonably warm night in Chicago's Grant Park. The decision to stay indoors this time appears to have been a smart one. The forecast in Chicago is for cold and rain, 26 degrees cooler than it was four years ago.
