Short-term cuts won't produce lasting savings, watchdog warns
Only radical reform will make public services sustainable in the long term, Treasury is told

The Treasury has been criticised by Whitehall spending watchdogs for relying on short-term emergency cuts to reduce the deficit rather than long-term reforms that would produce permanent savings for taxpayers.
In a setback for George Osborne, the National Audit Office (NAO) warns that the "stark" challenge of balancing the nation's books will continue after the deficit has been reduced because of the pressures the rising elderly population will put on pensions, health and social care and the need to provide almost 250,000 primary school places by 2014-15.
It suggests that radical reforms will be needed to make public services sustainable in the long run. It warns that the Government is not "well placed to meet the forthcoming challenge of continued fiscal consolidation alongside substantial demand pressures."
According to the NAO, more permanent value-for-money measures are needed rather than temporary savings introduced since 2010 such as a freeze on public sector pay, controls on buying equipment and bans on the use of temporary staff and outside consultants. The model should be the big changes to pensions and university tuition fees, which will both yield permanent savings.
The criticism comes as the Chancellor seeks to find the £11.5bn of cuts for the 2015-16 financial year he will announce on June 26 in a government-wide spending review. He has threatened to haul ministers who refuse to find their share of the savings before a "Star Chamber" of Cabinet colleagues to justify their budgets.
Today's report suggests the process would have been less painful if finance officials across Whitehall had embarked on structural changes since the Coalition came to power. It warns that departments operate as separate "silos", saying that services should be integrated and joint funding bids encouraged.
"Only limited action" has been taken to expand community care to relieve pressure on hospitals, while local authorities and NHS trusts "are facing significant difficulties in absorbing further cost reductions."
The report says: "The Treasury needs to provide more effective central leadership, to support public bodies in providing services at permanently lower cost…We found that most departments had yet to develop a clear picture of their future state or a detailed plan based on a strategic view across the business."
The NAO adds: "Improvements have been made in the Government's financial management in recent years. However, given the importance and urgency of the challenges presented by fiscal consolidation and public service reform…further improvements in strategic financial management will be required if the delivery of public services is to be sustained over the longer term.
"While government has succeeded in a number of areas in controlling spending, it still faces a significant challenge in redesigning and transforming public services so that they operate sustainably in the context of further reductions to departmental spending, alongside increased demand."
Amyas Morse, the head of the NAO, said: "Finance managers are now being taken more seriously and playing a more central role in the efforts to provide sustainable services at lower cost. However, the pace of change must be accelerated. Savings are being made but progress in restructuring how services are being delivered is lagging."
A Treasury spokeswoman said: "The Government's economic strategy to protect the economy and restore the public finances to a sustainable path has already reduced the deficit by a third. High quality financial management in government is key to meeting spending plans and delivering public services as efficiently and effectively as possible. The NAO notes the positive impact of Government action to increase accountability and build skills, and the Government will review what further improvements could be made as we conclude this spending round."

Tennis: Czech Republic wins first Davis Cup
Radek Stepanek upsets Spain's Nicolas Almagro in deciding singles match for first tennis title as independent nation.

Share via Email
PRAGUE—The Czech Republic won the Davis Cup for the first time as an independent nation on Sunday, beating Spain 3-2 in the final when Radek Stepanek upset Nicolas Almagro in the last reverse singles.
The 37th-ranked Stepanek beat his 11th-ranked opponent 6-4, 7-6 (0), 3-6, 6-3, converting his second match point to send 14,500-plus fans at the O2 Arena into wild celebration as they blew trumpets and beat their drums.
Stepanek dropped to the court in disbelief before teammates Tomas Berdych, Lukas Rosol, Ivo Minar and captain Jaroslav Navratil jumped on him.
""Davis Cup champions! That's amazing," Stepanek said. "We made history today and I hope the entire nation will be celebrating with us."
The victory means the Czechs completed a rare double just two weeks after the women secured the Fed Cup title in the same arena. No country has won both competitions in the same year since the United States in 1990.
"There's nothing more to achieve," Berdych said. "I have nothing to say more. This is a moment we never forget."
The Czechs' only victory came in 1980 as Czechoslovakia, which split in 1993, with a team led by Ivan Lendl.
"They've been our inspiration, our idols. They're the legends and now we're joining them," Stepanek said.
It was a sweet revenge for the Czechs after they were swept 5-0 by Spain in the 2009 final at Barcelona, with Stepanek losing to David Ferrer in five sets.
At the weekend, Stepanek had three tough matches. He lost to Ferrer in straight sets in the opening singles on Friday, but teamed up with Berdych to win the doubles on Saturday.
Stepanek clinched the first set with a volley at the net. He wasted three breakpoints in the second game of the second set and was broken in the fifth, drawing level when Almagro dropped serve three games later.
At 5-4, Stepanek pumped his fist after a backhand passing shot gave him set point. But Almagro held and saved another set point in the game and two others in the 11th to force a tiebreaker.
Stepanek looked in pain, possibly due to a knee problem after an acrobatic volley winner at the net in the tiebreaker. However, no treatment was needed and Stepanek took it easily 7-0 with a backhand winner.
Momentum ebbed and flowed in the third and fourth sets, but Stepanek ultimately improved to 3-1 against Almagro, helped by the Spaniard's 56 unforced errors.
"I was playing very aggressive today. I wanted be the one who is active, who is controlling the game," Stepanek said. "It paid off, even though I lost the third set. I had no doubt I was on the way."
Earlier Sunday, Ferrer kept alive Spain's hopes of winning a fourth Davis Cup title in five years by beating Berdych 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 in the first reverse singles match to level the final at 2-2.
Ferrer, wrapping up the best season of his career having won a tour-best seven tournament titles, converted his first match point for the 76th win of the year when Berdych's forehand hit the net, bringing cheers from the boisterous section of Spanish fans.
"I was always a few steps behind him," said Berdych, who had been undefeated in the Davis Cup this year. "He was just playing too good today."
Berdych spent more than seven hours on the court in the previous two days to win both his opening singles and the doubles, and it looked like fatigue may have finally set in at the end of the long season.
"I was feeling really well," he said. "That was definitely not an issue."
The Czechs beat Italy, Serbia at home and triumphed at Argentina in the semifinals en route to the final. Spain, without the injured Rafael Nadal, had been looking for its sixth title.

Practically every mega-star in Hollywood has gotten animated.
Tom Hanks was a toy. George Clooney was a fox. Eddie Murphy was an ass a donkey. And in the prehistoric adventure "The Croods," Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage and Ryan Reynolds play a cavegirl, a caveman and a caveboy, respectively.
We wondered what these stars would look like as animated people rather than as, you know, animals and neanderthals and stuff. Thanks to these 17 portraits, we've replaced our wondering with works of art.

ALARMING statistics released by Queensland Health have found a number of Queenslanders are tipping the scales at unhealthy weights.
The report, which was delivered by Dr Jeanette Young, found more than two million Queensland adults are now considered overweight or obese.
In addition, a staggering 26% of children aged between five and 17 are also considered overweight.
Queensland's Cancer Council executive manager of public health Louise Baldwin said the number of people living unhealthy lifestyles was a big contributor to the report findings.
"The report shows more Queenslanders are increasing their physical activity levels, but ground isn't being made in the area of overall balanced nutrition," Ms Baldwin said.
"Only 7% of adults are consuming the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables daily, and one in eight lead sedentary lifestyles for more than seven hours every day."
In a bid to help reverse these frightening statistics, a group of Logan men and women are taking positive steps to change their lifestyle and become healthier.
With the help from Geoff and Margaret Cuylenburg, who run the Rochedale Weight loss Challenge, hundreds of people are taking back control of their lives by shedding those unwanted kilos.
Letita Elliot and Louise Hert are both involved in the weight loss challenge and have recorded outstanding results.
Mrs Elliot, who has completed two challenges, has lost more than 17kg while Mrs Hert, who has just begun, has lost more than two.
"In today's busy lifestyle, it is so easy for people to just grab takeaway food, but we want to let people know it's not too hard to cook healthy meals at home," Mrs Hert said.
If you would like to find out more information about the Rochedale Weight loss Challenge, phone Margaret on 0422445130.

Table top support arms are pivoted to a base frame and extend above and below it. The lower ends of the support arms are connected through linkages with picnic table bench sections having sliding engagement with the base frame. When the support arms are tilted in one direction on their pivots, the linkage draws the bench sections together to produce a single bench bottom and the table top which is pivotally supported on the support arms is swung to a back rest forming position. Stop elements on the support arms limit the swing of the support arms and also position the back rest and table top component.
1. A convertible picnic table and bench comprising a central supporting base having opposed spaced sides, and beam means joining said sides, a pair of arms respectively pivotally mounted on outwardly of the outer surfaces of said sides, said arms being swingable relative to and outwardly of the base in substantially vertical planes, a pair of bench sections moveably engaging the supporting base on opposite sides of said arms, driving connecting means between said arms and bench sections operable to shift the bench sections toward and away from each other in unison responsive to swinging movement of said arms on said base said bench sections being receivable by their edges, on the upper surfaces of said sides when said bench sections are adjacent to each other, a combined table top and back rest element pivotally attached to and carried by the outer end portions of said arms above the supporting base and bench sections, said combined top and back rest element being bodily movable with said arms relative to the supporting base, and a stop element fixed to at least one of said arms and including stop surfaces engageable with said combined table top and back rest element to position it selectively in a table top or back rest position relative to the arms and said bench sections, said stop element having another stop surface engageable with an opposing fixed surface to limit swinging of said arms in one direction.
2. A convertible picnic table and bench comprising a supporting base, a pair of arms pivoted to opposite outer sides of said base and being swingable vertically relative to said base, a pair of parallel bench sections below the tops of said arms slidably engaging the supporting base and being shiftable toward and away from each other said bench sections being supported by its edges on said base when said bench sections are in positions shifted toward each other, the inner edges of said bench sections resting upon the outer edge portions of said base when said bench sections are in positions shifted away from each other, drive linkage means for said bench sections connected therewith and connected with the supporting base and said arms, a panel member adapted to serve as a table top and back rest pivoted to the tops of said arms and bodily carried thereby, and rigid stop means on said arms limiting their swinging movement at least in one direction and including surfaces engaging said panel member to stabilize it in the table top and back rest positions.
3. A convertible picnic table and bench as defined in claim 1, wherein said arms are substantially T-shaped and said combined table top and back rest element is pivoted to the cross members of said arms on one side of their upright portions, said cross members forming inclined arm rests when said combined table top and back rest element is in the back rest position.

This invention relates to convertible furniture and more particularly to a convertible picnic table and bench which is characterized by simplicity and convenience of construction and operation, strength and durability, and comparative low cost of manufacture. In one mode of use, a broad horizontal picnic table top is supported stably between two parallel bench sections at an elevation below the table top and being coextensive lengthwise therewith. In a second mode of use, the two bench sections move together horizontally to form a broad continuous bench or seat bottom and the top of the table assumes a stable inclined position above the bench bottom to serve as a back rest.
While convertible furniture of various types is known in the prior art, no known prior art structure possesses the construction and mode of operation of the present invention or satisfies the need in the art which the present invention seeks to satisfy. On small home patios or porches and on the balconies of high rise apartments, there is a genuine need for a convertible furniture unit of this type and the prior art cannot satisfy this need in any practical or attractive manner.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the course of the following detailed description.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a convertible picnic table and bench in accordance with the invention arranged in the table mode of use.
FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the invention in FIG. 1.
FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 are further side elevations depicting the conversion of the picnic table into a bench.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical section taken on line 6--6 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 7 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 7--7 of FIG. 5.
Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like numerals designate like parts, a horizontal base or support frame 10 including side rails 11 carries corner legs 12 fixed to the support frame so as to form a rigid unit. The support frame 10 may include an intermediate beam 13 and intermediate legs 14, FIG. 1, if desired, as well as conventional bracing.
A sturdy beam 15 is fixed to the tops of side members 11 at the center of the support frame 10 and extends for the full width of the support frame with the opposite ends of the beam 15 flush with the outer faces of side members 11.
T-shaped support arms 16 are pivotally secured through pivot elements 17 to the end faces of beam 15 with the arms 16 lying immediately outside of the members 11. The arms 16 extend for substantial distances above and below their pivots 17, and at their tops include substantially right angular heads or cross members 18 of rigid construction to complete the T-formation of the pivoted arms.
A full width picnic table top 19, which may be of slatted construction, also adapted to form a back rest, is pivotally connected by pivot elements 20 to the cross members 18 beyond one side of the upright members of the arms 16. Platelike stop elements 21 fixed to the inner faces of the arms 16 immediately below cross members 18 include support surfaces 22 for the table top 19 to stabilize the latter in a horizontal use position, FIG. 2.
Near the bottoms of the pivoted support arms 16 on both sides of the assembly, links 23 have corresponding ends pivotally connected at 24 to the arms 16 and have their other ends pivotally attached at 25 to bench section drive links 26. These latter links are pivoted at 27 to the adjacent legs 12 of support base 10 and are further pivoted at 28 to the opposite ends of a picnic table bench section 29.
A companion bench section 29 on the opposite side of the structure is pivotally attached at each end by pivot elements 30 to rocker links 31 pivotally attached at 32 to the adjacent legs 12. Corresponding ends of the rocker links 31 are pivotally attached at 33 to elongated connecting links 34, whose opposite ends are attached to the pivot elements 25. The described linkages interconnecting the arms 16 and picnic table bench sections 29 at opposite sides of the structure are mirror images of each other and operate in unison during conversion of the device from a picnic table to a bench and vice-versa.
The bench sections 29 are at a common elevation below the table top 19 and rest slidingly on support frame 10 whose side members 11 are notched in their tops as shown at 35, FIG. 6, to interfit with runners 36 on the bottoms of bench sections 29 at their opposite ends. This interfitting relationship of the runners 36 with side members 11 assures proper guidance of the bench sections 29 in response to operation of their driving linkages when the arms 16 are tilted on their pivots 17. During this action, the bench sections 29 may slide from their fully separated positions in FIG. 2 through the intermediate position of FIG. 3 to their single bench or seat-forming positions in FIGS. 4 and 5. It should be noted that in this latter position the two bench sections 29 substantially contact the opposite longitudinal sides of beam 15 and are flush with the top face of this beam, FIG. 4, to form a continuous horizontal wide seat or bench bottom.
After the support arms 16 have been tilted, as shown in FIGS. 3 through 5, to convert the picnic table of FIG. 1 to the bench shown in the intermediate position of FIG. 4, table top 19 is swung on its pivots 20 to the final back rest position shown in FIG. 5. In such position, side rails 37 of the combined table top-back rest 19 abut projecting edges 38 of stop elements 21 to stabilize the back rest in its use position. Similarly, other edges 39 of stop elements 21 engage the top face of bench section 29, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, to positively limit the tilting movement of the arms 16 in their bench conversion positions. Thus it may be seen that the stop elements 21 are key elements of the invention which positively position the component 19 in its two positions of use and also limit the travel of the pivoted support arms 16.
In converting the picnic table shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to the bench shown in FIG. 5, it is merely necessary to tilt the pivoted arms 16 on their pivots 17 clockwise as viewed in FIGS. 2 through 5. Such movement through the links 23, 26, 34 and 31 shifts bench sections 29 toward each other and through the transition position shown in FIG. 3 until the bench sections substantially contact the beam 15 and the stop surface 39 abuts bench section 29. Following this, the component 19 is swung to the back rest position of FIG. 5 in contact with stop faces 38. The structure is reliable, simplified and convenient to operate. It is also rugged and durable and inexpensive to manufacture. It should be noted that cross members 18 of arms 16 form arm rests at opposite sides of the bench shown in FIG. 5.
It is to be understood that the form of the invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope of the subjoined claims.

Review this title!
It's awesome
I simply love playing it with my best friends.I say it doesn't have a lot of violence mostly sci fic.If you are looking for a game to buy I recomend this.
Was this review useful?
Single Player: LAME--- Multiplayer- THE BOMB!
This is a great game for kids like me who want to play sci-fi shooters like Halo but are (Sadly) not allowed to. Honestly, I think this is one of the ESRB's biggest fails. It EASILY could have gotten an E10, and the action is about as bad as the original Star Wars films. Though the single player campaign is difficult (And boring), the multiplayer with lots of friends is phenomenal! I have never had so much fun playing a video game. It's so cool turning into a ball and and stealthily shooting everyone else down. If the campaign was as cool, I would have given it 5 stars, easy. So, if you want a good game to pass the time by yourself, stay away. But if you are looking for a tween appropriate, fun sci-fi multiplayer experience with friends, get this game.
What other families should know
Too much violence
best game I played ever :)
I thik It is the Best for 9&up my father loves playing whith me .Also IT fun for the hole famly to play
What other families should know
Educational value
Ages for 13-17+
This game is the best because its fun to, the story is sometimes it hard and and sometimes it easy. The multiplayer/wifi is awesome because (Just Because).
What other families should know
Too much violence
fun game to play with you friends
What other families should know
Too much violence
This game could've gotten away with an E10 rating.
As long as you don't mind your kids playing a first-person shooter, it's not bad. But this game's greatest moments are it's multiplayer capabilities. (Do it locally with friends, as there are tons of hackers and cheaters online that ruin the game for everyone else AND could damage your own game) The single player campaign is average at best.
What other families should know
Too much violence
Sweet game and awsome online
What other families should know
Too much violence
terrible story, terrible online, O.K. muilti-player(not online)
Awesome game
The best game for the ds and its not bad there is no blood or anything terrible your objective is to go around to stop the power to falling in the wrong hands its not sugesting anything. I would recomend 9 and up like i said its not an issue.
Awesome game, great multiplayer
This game is very fun. It's not very violent but there is one place where they're are these plants and when you kill them some very non graphic purple blood sqirts in the air then dissapears. The multiplayer on the other hand is not violent at all, it's also very fun too, there is also a way to make computer enemys so you don't have to play online or with a friend. Anyway I highly recommend this game for kids 10 and older.
sweet game! i also have super metroid for super nintendo. play them all!
Retro Studios has done it again! ^-^
MP: Hunters is like Metroid Prime in your pocket, so it HAS to be good! And Nintendo/Retro Studios have done another good game! MP: Hunters has some violence with some blood but it's not graphic or anything, and the blood is green. So if you like MP and if you're over 8, then play this game! Bye!
Sadly, I lost this game, but it isn't that good. It's probably the worst Metroid Prime game. And one of the worst Metroid games. But it's still good.

I can not tell you how thrilled I am. I came home from work tonight and guess what was on my doorstep... yep, my new Danners. I have no idea how you and Danner pulled it off, but the box had stamped right on it, "MUST SHIP TODAY." I laced them up and I couldn't be more excited. Now, my hunting trip will work out. If your job is anything like mine, I'm sure you get tons of emails and try not to read more than you have to, but I would like to take a second and tell you what happened. I fell in love with Danner boots about seven years ago and have been attached to my Danner Canadians ever since. They're waterproof, warm, comfortable, and more than anything, indestructible. I had to move this summer with my job. I thought until this week that I knew exactly where my boots were, but when I started preparing for my trip I found out that they weren't where I thought. I searched high and low, but no boots. So, I decided that if I had to buy new boots, I was going to upgrade to the Trophy. I tried at LEAST 20 places before I spoke to you (the nature of the Internet), and no one had them, nor could they guarantee me that I would have them by the end of the week. I work for the second largest retailer in the US and I hope day in and day out that my folks take care of customers the way you took care of me. You didn't even know this story, but you went way beyond "website service" and made sure I had solutions. I was stressing to say the least, and I admit that I was concerned that you were making me a promise that you really couldn't control. Since you didn't have them in stock, Danner was on the hook and you were several states away. In the end, your promise of Friday delivery was exceeded by two days and, by my reckoning, from the time I spoke with you I received my boots from Portland to Charlotte in roughly 20 hours. That's CRAZY customer service. If you give me the email address of your boss, I would be happy to send this to him or her on your behalf. Otherwise, please have a great weekend. I'll send anyone I know to your website."

Dance Is Life
Dance transcends race, religion, culture and creed. More than just physical movements set to music, dance fuses action, space, time and energy into a beautiful expression of emotions and feelings, cultures and traditions. Here are some of the most elegant, enduring and inspiring dances from around the world.

Revisiting Miri's Kenyah Tribe
A city boy's adventure in a tropical jungle
By Stanley Liew
We woke up very early in the morning in Miri, Sarawak, about six if I recall correctly. I was still tired, having just arrived the night before via AirAsia. But we have a long journey ahead so it's best for us to get a good head start.

This is a very bland building with a cavernous shop filled with the usual tourist goods just like any other woollen mill shop.
Inside the floors are very uneven so not really good for anyone with walking difficulties the staff pounce on you for a sale probably because most visitors are browsers brought in by coaches
The dining area is...
As far as these places go this one is pretty large and has a good range of goods. Having said that - the goods are exactly the same as you will find in every other "Woollen Mill" shop in the UK.
Been to one and you have been to them all.
walked here hoping to see some ancient buildings and a mill. Found a cavernous shop full of cheap and undesirable items designed for tourists who think they are getting a bit of Scotland to take home. Signs in Japanese and Chinese (I think...) says it all
We visited this place on our way upto Dunoon.
It was a lovely shop with tea room... There were plenty of things to look at and the tea room was delightful with a large conservatory with plenty of seating. The staff were extremely courteous and the food/drink was very nice.
The toilets were kept in good clean condition. I would...
Every town we visited had a woolen mill. I thought the cafe was very good but the shop left me cold. However the redeeming feature for me were the very friendly staff.
The Moffat Woolen Mill is a great place to shop for something decidedly Scottish. Lots of shortbread, tartan etc but added to this there is also a great selection of clothes, foods etc. What I would say however is it that it is not great to push a wheelchair round, everything is too close together to make it easy to...
All over the world you find places that people either love or hate. So reviews tend to be very firm. My wife loved it. I didn't. She's not writing , so sorry Moffat Mill you don't get many points. Typical terrible tourist trap.
Excellent place to stop for coffee or a meal. They have a small coffee shop and a larger restaurant. Also, plenty of good clean w.c.'s. We stopped whilst on a coach trip and there was plenty of room for us and the other coaches as well as visitors by car. The whisky shop is very good value, and the Mill...
If this was your first visit, you would find it very interesting. There are a variety of gifts to purchase and the video of the workings of the Mill was very good.

There's a fair sized shopping area with a large choice of Scottish gifts and a nice café where I enjoyed a steamer (hot milk caramel syrup) and we did all our Scottish souvenir shopping in one place. There's also a good butchers which serves really...

Typewriter Familiarization
Administration Maintenance Administration 3 & 2 - Aviation theories and other practices
Control of Letters
The first step in typewriting is learning the
keyboard. Figure 2-2 shows a typical typewriter
keyboard. For illustration purposes, it has been
divided into two sections. The left-hand section
represents the keys controlled by your left hand,
and the right-hand section represents the keys
controlled by your right hand.
Home Keys
The shaded keys (fig. 2-2) are called the
HOME keys. Your fingers stay on these keys
when they are not depressing a key. After you
depress any key other than the home key, the
respective finger returns to its home key. The
home keys for the left-hand section are A, S, D,
and F; and the home keys for the right-hand
section are the J, K, L, and ;.
Finger Placement
Figure 2-3 shows the fingers of the typist
in relation to the keyboard. The following
subparagraphs give the responsibility of each
RIGHT INDEX FINGER, This finger (J) has
the J key as its home key. It is used to depress
the J key and the keys identified as
N, M, and &7.
RIGHT FOREFINGER. This finger (K) has
the K key as a home key. It is used to depress the
I, K, *8, and , keys.
RIGHT RING FINGER. This finger (L) has
the L key as a home key. It is used to depress the
L, O, ., and (9 keys.
RIGHT LITTLE FINGER, This finger (;)
controls many keys. It is used for depressing the
p, :, ;, 0), +=, _ -, 1/4 1/2, ' and /?. It
also controls the shift, return, express backspace
(EXP, backspace, index, and correcting keys.
RIGHT THUMB. The right thumb is used for
operating the space bar. This is its only function
in touch typing.
LEFT INDEX FINGER. This finger (F) has
the F key as its home key. It is used to depress
$4, T, G, B, V, F, and R keys.
LEFT FOREFINGER. This finger (D) has the
D key as its home key. It is used to depress the
D, E, C, and the #3 keys.
LEFT RING FINGER. This finger (A) has the
A key as a home key, and is responsible for
depressing the S, W, X, AND @2 keys.
LEFT LITTLE FINGER. This finger (A) has
the A key as a home key and is responsible for
depressing the Q, A, Z, 1, ! shift key, the shift
lock, tab, tab set and release, and margin release
LEFT THUMB. The left thumb is not used
in touch typing.
The keyboard and other typewriter features
have been explained in preceding paragraphs of
this section. At this point, you should be familiar
enough with these features to start typing.
