Adrian's Croswell stages Disney's 'Cinderella KIDS'Written by Renee Lapham Collins | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Tea parties and princesses will be in the spotlight when Adrian's Croswell Opera House stages Disney's "Cinderella KIDS"
Set for Feb. 8-10 and Feb. 16-17, the program includes a bonus tea party luncheon prior to the Saturday matinees on Feb. 9 and Feb. 16.
"The tea party luncheon is $15 per person and includes an opportunity to meet, mingle and get a photo taken with a Disney princess and to do a make-and-take princess art project," said Jere Righter, artistic director for the Croswell.
Tickets for the tea party are limited and should be purchased in advance by calling (517) 264-7469.
The play tells the timeless fairy tale of Cinderella, mistreated by her wicked stepmother and stepsisters and denied the chance to attend the royal ball. With the help of a fairy godmother, Cinderella attends the ball where she meets her handsome prince and falls in love.
John MacNaughton, creative director for the Croswell, is directing the show.
"Part of the Croswell's mission is to educate, so doing shows involving children is a natural," he said. "Providing this opportunity is important to children."
MacNaughton said he encouraged the children performing in the show to share their ideas and many of those ideas are being used in the production.
"The pride they take in knowing they came up with a good idea is visible," he said.
The show's tea party has been a popular feature in the past with parents and grandparents.
"The Croswell has done princess tea parties in the past and parents and grandparents seem to love having this experience with their little girls," he said. "They come in princess gowns, the whole nine yards."
Nearly 100 people auditioned for the show, about 80 of them younger than 12. There are 40 in the cast, MacNaughton said.
"One of the challenges is to make sure the children are meaningfully involved in the story and this group is," he said. "They provide a lot of the comic relief and are in substantial roles, helping to tell the story."
"Even though this is a fairly simple story, I thought the roles of the stepmother and stepsisters were too demanding for a younger person to handle," MacNaughton said. "The three actors I cast — Joyce Lancaster, Kayla Henry and Sarah Garofalo — are hilarious."
MacNaughton said the show is filled with comic elements, which he found surprising. There are several performers new to MacNaughton who have brought "wonderful comic talent to the show," he said.
"Noah Beasley as the Town Herald is about 10 and I predict we'll see him for many years to come," MacNaughton said. "Another surprise came with Anthony Isom. He's in his early 20s and has never been in a show and his wacky sense of comedy is a joy to watch. Another new performer for me is Sarah Garofalo, who understands the wicked stepsister Anastasia in the funniest way."
Music director for the show is Peggy Snead. Ashley Nowak is choreographing the show, while Leo Babcock is the scenic designer. Tiff Crutchfield is lighting designer, Tyler Miller is sound designer and costumes were designed by Emily Gifford. Beth Hale rounds out the backstage crew as the production stage manager.
"Kids' shows talk to the kid in me," MacNaughton said. "I love a good pratfall and silly jokes. And coming up with the sets and costumes is always fun, too — lots of color and glitter is usually involved."
Curtain times for Disney's "Cinderella, Kids" are Friday, Feb. 8 at 6:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 9 and Feb. 16 at 1:30 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 10 and 17 at 1:30 p.m. An additional evening performance on Feb. 16 will be staged at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for students and seniors 60 and older, and $5 for children 10 and younger, and are available by calling (517) 264-SHOW (7469) or online at Croswell.org. Tickets also are available at the door at the Croswell box office, 129 E. Maumee St. in downtown Adrian.
MacNaughton said he never pictured himself as someone who would enjoy doing children's theater, but he's discovered he does.
"I absolutely love the enthusiasm kids bring to rehearsals," he said. "Doing shows designed for a young audience gives me license to be absolutely ridiculous, which is fun.
"This cast of kids seems especially attuned to theater. The choreographer mentioned how quickly they learn choreography and the music director is astounded at the sound the mice chorus makes.
"We're building the next generation of theater professionals with our children's shows."
Cinderella is played by Mallory Erwin, who is a newcomer to the Croswell. A high school student at Hillsdale Academy who lives in Adrian, Erwin "possesses a wonderful sincerity and grounded quality that separates her from her mean and cruel step family," MacNaughton said. The stepmother, played by Joyce Lancaster, and the stepsisters, played by Kayla Henry and Sarah Garofalo, are adult roles. Michelle Force plays the Fairy Godmother, Matthew Pettrey is Prince Charming, Rob Pettrey is the king and Melanie O. Maneesha is the queen. Other cast members include: Madelena Arriaga, Rachel Bauer, Noah Beasley, Caleb Becerra, Allison Beougher, Brock Boze, Cole Carrico, Rio Doyle, Carly Edinger, Ella Edinger, Audrey Force, Brenya Glisson, Kyle Haeussler, Emma Hammond, Rebekah Hays, A.J. Howard, Anthony Isom, Alexandra June, Emily Kilpatrick, Gabby Kisor, Isabelle Kisor, Arielle Osstifin, Payton Perry-Radcliffe, Ethan Pettrey, Carson Pickles, Leah Reasoner, Arielle Richardson, Julianne Schoonover, Hannah Shindler and Javyn Skeels.

In a small bowl combine yogurt, 3 tablespoons honey, and zest; set aside.
Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the ginger (no need to peel) into a small bowl. Squeeze ginger through a fine-meshed sieve or strainer placed over a medium bowl to get a total of 1 tablespoon ginger juice. Discard pulp.
To the bowl with the juice, add remaining 2 tablespoons honey and lemon juice; whisk to combine. Add papaya, blackberries, and raspberries and toss gently to coat.
To serve: Spoon half the fruit and juices among six 8-ounce tall glasses. Sprinkle chopped mint over the fruit. Top with half the yogurt mixture and half the granola. Layer with the remaining fruit, yogurt, and granola. Garnish with mint sprigs.

You've probably heard several of them numerous times—"be sure to stretch before you run" and "always finish your runs with a cool down"—but is there any real truth to them?
We asked exercise science expert Michele Olson, PhD, FACSM, CSCS, professor of exercise science at Auburn University Montgomery, and creator of the Perfect Legs, Glutes & Abs DVD to help us sort out the facts from fiction of these popular running misconceptions.
Myth: You Should Always Stretch Before You Run
The Truth: "Static stretching is not the optimal way to warm-up before you run," Olson says. Believe it or not, you could actually strain your muscles with static stretching, and it might even slow you down. Instead, focus on getting oxygen to your muscles and warm them up—literally, Olson recommends. "Start out by walking and trotting: swing your arms; shrug your shoulders and slowly elevate your heart rate for about 10 minutes before you pick up your pace."
That doesn't mean you should skip stretching completely, Olson says. Just make sure to do it after your run, when your muscles are very warm and full of oxygen and nutrients; and then engage in static stretching, focusing on your leg, hip, and low-back muscles.
Myth: Muscle Cramps are Always Caused by Too Little Potassium
The Truth: Muscle spasms can certainly put a cramp in your running style, but that doesn't mean you need to load up on potassium to prevent them. "Cramps are primarily caused by either being low on glucose (the form of sugar your muscles thrive on for energy) or low water and sodium levels," Olson says. When you are working out very hard (like lifting weights or with intense intervals), you use up glucose faster than what can be delivered to the muscles, and this causes that muscle-burning lactic acid to form. The best way to get rid of cramps caused by low glucose levels is to take a 60-90 second break to help rid your body of lactic acid and allow glucose to travel to the muscles, Olson says.
To prevent cramps caused by excessive sweating during steamy outdoor runs, be sure to stay well hydrated and nourished, Olson says. "When you sweat, sodium is also excreted, and water and sodium go hand-in-hand. Losing significant levels of potassium is actually quite hard to do. Potassium lives inside our cells and is not excreted as readily as sodium. Sodium, like water, resides outside the cells in your body."

Since Tuesday's General Election, many questions have been asked about how straight party voting affected the election locally.
In Aiken County, 44 percent of people voted straight party, electing to focus on a party's candidates en masse, rather than specifically voting for individuals. Here are statistics on some of the more hotly-contested races in Aiken County and how the candidates fared for specific candidate votes versus party votes.
Voter turnout – 67 percent
There were 70,747 votes from 105,086 registered voters
Straight party vote – 44 percent
Republican – 16,746, 53.3 percent
Democrat – 14,243, 45.3 percent
Libertarian – 205, 0.65 percent
Green – 112, 0.36 percent
Constitution – 84, 0.27 percent
Working Families 42, 0.13 percent
• Aiken County Probate Judge
Judge Sue H. Roe (D)
Total votes – 37,581
Percentage of total from straight party votes – 37.9
Number of specific candidate votes – 23,338
Jane Page Thompson (R)
Total votes – 30,268
Percentage of total from straight party votes – 55.3
Number of specific candidate votes – 13,530
• State Senate District 26
Deedee Vaughters (R)
Aiken County/total votes – 4,160/14,246
Percentage of Aiken County/District votes – 36.8/39.38
Nikki Setzler (D)
Aiken County/total votes – 7,126/21,856
Percentage of Aiken County/votes cast – 63/60.41
• S.C. House of Representatives District 81
Jane Vaughters (P)
Total votes – 6,100
Percentage of total – 34.7
Don Wells (R)
Total votes – 11,454
Percentage of total – 65
Twenty-five percent of the Aiken County electorate voted in the District 81 race. As a petition candidate, Vaughters got no straight party votes. Assuming 25 percent of straight party votes were cast in this district, if they are removed, Wells still would prevail.

What's your steam name?
Accept my friend request.
TRADE CLOSED. Bloodspray is a fucking boss and a gentlemen.
Wait.... crap. I still want Karateka. NM TRADES STILL ON! All 3 for Karateka.
Ya know to open up my options even further, Ill also take Counter Strike: Source or Worms: Revolution
You might want to have one trade thread whose title you change when your needs change. Just an idea.
You can't delete or edit the title of a thread, only a mod can do that. I would suggest asking a mod(not me, I don't know how to do it and I'm at work) to change the name to something like "Phil's Fuck Fillabuster of Friendly Trade Offers" and then editing the first post as things change.
And honestly, I really just wanted to write "fuck fillabuster."
Edited because I saw Doom 3 bundle up for $3.24 on Steam, I'd do Serious Sam 3 + DLC for that.
Huh, I don't know. Maybe it got added in one of the updates but for a long time it had to be done by a mod.
That said, if you do edit it Phil, please don't use Fuck Filibuster in the title.
First off, Dare, how in the world do I change the title? I cant seem to find it. Been staring at this thing for 15m and am getting frustrated.
Secondly: Trade Update: I have everything I was asking for at the moment. I'm hunting for Torchlight 2 now.
I have: Dead Island GOTY, FTL, Hotline Miami, Who Wants to Be A Millioniare + DLC and McPixel. Make an offer or let me know what you want for Torchlight 2. Thanks all.

T. J. Blevins of Man addressed the Logan County Board of Education on behalf of a group of parents, grandparents and community members concerning Buffalo and South Man Grade Schools.
Blevins requested the board move the fourth-grade classes back to their home schools. Buffalo Grade School and South Man Grade School fourth grades currently attend Man Middle School.
Reasons given for making the change included:
• Having two elementary-school children attending two different schools is chaotic and difficult, especially when there are programs or celebrations scheduled for both schools at the same time.
• The children would be closer to home. The currently ride a transfer bus to their home school, and change buses to be transported to Man Middle School.
• Buses are often delayed, especially if they have to make two runs. The children have to wait at their home school for the transfer bus. Small children are getting up earlier and getting home later than if they attended their home schools.
• Logan and Chapmanville area schools have fourth-grades.
• The teachers at Man are good teachers, but when they have bigger classes, the children don't get as much individual attention. At Buffalo and South Man, the classroom size allows teachers to get the children's attention and keep them focused.
"We need to get our fourth grades back, and we need them as quick as we can get them, "said Blevins, "If there is any way, we need them back for the upcoming school year. We know changing the configuration of the schools is part of the strategic plan, but I hear the plan is updated continually during the year. Put yourselves in our shoes and do everything you can so our third-grade students can go to their home schools next year."
Blevins thanked the board and submitted petitions signed by parents and community members to Superintendent Wilma Zigmond.
Linda Vicker also addressed the board, saying she understood the process to move the fourth grades back to the home schools was in the process. "If you all have seven months, why can't it get done for next year?" Vicker has a grandchild in the third grade who will be one of the transfer students next year. Her concern is that in a large classroom, her grandchild will not get extra attention if it is necessary.
Vicker concluded with questions, "Is there any way this can be done by next year? Does anybody know? Can you find out for us and let us know?"
Supt. Zigmond assured the group the board would take their questions into consideration
The board thanked the group for being at the meeting and encouraged them to attend the meetings to know what is going on at the schools and see what the board is doing. The next meeting is on February 14, 2013, at 5 p.m.

Cooper Tire to develop global tech center in FindlayWritten by Duane Ramsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Cooper Tire & Rubber Company of Findlay is scheduled to formally announce June 23 its plans to build a Global Technical Center (GTC) to be located in that community.
Cooper Tire will invest $35.5 million in the GTC scheduled to open by the end of this year, according to company officials. The GTC will be located on the second floor within the existing Cooper North America Technical Center in Findlay.
"We plan to locate the Global Technical Center within the same building in Findlay where the regional tech center already exists," said Anne Roman, vice president of communications and public affairs at Cooper Tire & Rubber, told Toledo Free Press in May 2013.
The GTC will be the company's worldwide center for tire science technology, advanced technology and innovation. Cooper currently operates three regional tech centers located in Findlay, Melksham, England, and Shanghai, China.
Cooper's GTC will develop "ready to use" advanced materials and technologies such as nanotechnology, new polymers and compounds. The new technologies will be provided to the company's existing tech centers for final product development and industrialization to meet customer and market demands around the world.
The new GTC will help Cooper develop and launch world-class products faster and more efficiently than ever before, according to information provided to the media in advance of the June 23 announcement.
Adding the GTC to its existing technical center will create 40 full-time jobs over the next three years for engineers, scientists, technicians and technical managers, according to Roman.
Cooper will use a $2.8 million Ohio Third Frontier Industrial Research and Development Center Program (IRDCP) grant awarded to Cooper for the GTC. The grant funding for the project was approved by the State Controlling Board of Ohio.
The GTC will accelerate research and development of advanced tire and material technologies that could be incorporated into new products manufactured around the world, including at Cooper Tire's current production facility in Findlay, according to Cooper officials.
Roy Armes, chairman, CEO and president of Cooper Tire & Rubber, will speak at the official announcement on June 23. Other speakers will include Chuck Yurkovich, vice president of global research and development at Cooper Tire, and David Mustine, senior managing director of JobsOhio.
Cooper Tire Asia held a formal dedication ceremony June 12 for a new Asia Technical Center (ATC) in Kunshan, China, at the site of the Cooper Kunshan Tire (CKT) manufacturing plant, approximately 30 miles from Shanghai. The new facility was dedicated on June 16.
The ATC was relocated to Kunshan from Shanghai to a new 54,000-square-foot facility constructed specifically for Cooper's research and development activities and staff of 65 material scientists and tire engineers, according to company officials.
Members of Cooper Tire's technology team were among a select group of companies that consulted with scientists and engineers from NASA's Glenn Research Center at the University of Toledo on June 12.
A second Cooper team will soon travel to the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland for a similar consultation with subject matter experts.
The consultations are being provided to manufacturing companies who applied for the opportunity to receive up to eight hours of no-cost consulting from the NASA experts to bring new insights into technical challenges and opportunities the companies are experiencing.
"NASA has some of the best minds in the world who have developed all types of innovations; not only those related to the exploration of space. Cooper is pleased to have been selected to tap into the brainpower, research capabilities and resources of NASA as we continue to improve our operations and products," Yurkovich said.
Cooper applied for and was qualified to receive assistance with two projects — one focusing on development of a coating for tire molds and the other on RFID technology. Cooper was one of 16 area companies that received consulting through the NASA Roadshow, a program in its second year.
Cooper Tire & Rubber is the parent company of a global family of companies that specialize in the design, manufacture, marketing, and sales of passenger car and light truck tires. Cooper has joint ventures, affiliates and subsidiaries that also specialize in medium truck, motorcycle and racing tires.
Cooper Tire is the fourth largest tire manufacturer in North America and among the top 11 global tire producers with revenues of $3.4 billion in 2013, according to the company's website. The North American tire segment represents 70 percent of its revenues with the international segment producing the other 30 percent.
Cooper's headquarters is located in Findlay with manufacturing, sales, distribution, technical and design facilities within its family of companies located in 11 countries around the world. The company employs about 2,000 people at its operations in Findlay and 13,000 worldwide.

LAUREL HILL — Don't tell the Laurel Hill School baseball team that it doesn't pay to steal — bases that is.
Eight stolen bases by the Hoboes played a key role in all five of Laurel Hill runs in a 5-1 win over Poplar Springs in the District 1-1A opener Monday.
While steals sparked the Laurel Hill offense, it was senior Tyler Grezlik's pitching that kept the Atomic bats silent throughout the game.
Grezlik worked 6-1/3 innings before being replaced by Bryson Cooper with two runners on base in the seventh. Cooper, an eighth-grader, retired the final two batters, sealing the Laurel Hill (1-2, 1-0) win.
"We were able to run a little bit, but we've got to hit the ball better," Laurel Hill coach Ronnie Smith said. "I thought Grezlik got out there and battled all night long. I was real proud of his effort.
"Like I said, we kind of manufactured a few runs stealing it and they threw a couple of ways (that led to Laurel Hill runs)."
In a scene that would be repeated for the Hoboes throughout the game, Max Smith drew a one-out walk from Atomic pitcher Blake Joiner in the bottom of the first inning.
Smith proceeded to steal second base and then the third base before scoring on a passed ball.
The Atomics (0-4) tied the game with their lone run in the top of the third, but the tie didn't last long.
Grezlik scored the second Laurel Hill run in the third inning when he walked, stole second and was sent home on a Smith base hit.
Garrett Alford's two runs were carbon copies of each other.
Alford walked in the fourth inning, stole second and third and scored on a Joiner error on a pick off attempt.
The scenario repeated itself in the sixth inning.
In between the two Alford scores, in the fifth inning, Cody Barnhill walked, stole second and scored on a Grezlik double.
Laurel Hill tried to rally for an extra run with two out in the sixth, when Ben Perez and Clay Barlow had back-to-back singles, but the Hoboes couldn't score.

"Coolest thing I ever did," say Disney marathon participants
There are marathons and then there are Disney World Marathons where 25,000 participants run through the parks and Cinderella's castle to the cheers of the public. Beginning at Epcot and eventually returning to Epcot the race covers 13.1 miles.
So when Katie Glover, 17, a Chase High senior and a self-proclaimed Disney World fanatic, heard about the race she asked her mother, Karen Smith Glover, if she'd take her.
Karen said she'd been asking Katie to run with her for quite a while but Katie didn't want to until she heard about the Disney World Half-Marathons.
"I asked her if she'd take me," Katie said.
Karen told Katie they would start training and if by July 2012 she could run a half-marathon, she would register them for the January 2013 event.
That was all the motivation needed, except perhaps, to take a few friends along.
She invited classmates Montana Bright and Ashton Hunt, to go along.
Montana's mother, Sherry Bright, was planning to go but while training she sustained a foot fracture and had to quit. Montana decided to concentrate on her dancing, leaving Ashton, Katie and Karen to begin training.
Montana and Ashton's mother, Starlyn Hunt agreed to go along to cheer the group along.
"This was one of the coolest things I've ever done," Katie said. "Running through the castle with everyone cheering you on and with trumpeters playing on top of you, was awesome."
But a 13.1 mile run wasn't a walk in the park for the threesome. Although Ashton plays volleyball, Katie and Karen were somewhat non-athletic.
They knew it would require rigorous training and discipline so, for eight months they trained.
"We did it the race in under two-and-a half-hours," Katie said. "But we stopped about nine times to take pictures with characters, and each line for pictures was about five minutes long. In total, our time was almost three hours and fifteen minutes."
"You really had to keep pushing yourself harder and harder to get to the end," Katie said. "Toward the end I was getting really tired and my knees were starting to hurt, but at the end there was a choir singing and you knew you could make it."
Katie said the marathon and racing with her mother, is something she'll never forget.
Karen echoed her comments.
"I'll always treasure this time we had together during her senior year before they are all gone," Karen said.
"It was a great experience. . .It was one of the coolest things I've ever done."
Ashton hadn't planned to run until she was persuaded. "Katie Glover is a Disney fanatic and when she found out we could have that opportunity and that it was a way for her to get back to Disney, we felt the experience of running at Disney would be better and so we started training."
"The actual race, it was very hard but it was well worth it," Ashton said. "It was an awesome experience to run through the parks at Disney World."
When they started training, they ran one or two miles every day of the week. As they increased their miles, they decreased the days of training.
"When we were running nine to 10 miles a day, we only ran a couple times a week," Ashton said. One of the most challenging aspects of the race, was finding time to run when school started back in the fall. Between school, working and volleyball finding hours to run a day was difficult.
"But when we finished it felt great," Ashton said. "I was hurting, but it was just great. It was a major accomplishment for me."
Thinking back to a year ago, Ashton said she wouldn't have run one mile, certainly not 13.
The three seniors are already looking ahead to February 2014 when they want to participate in the Disney World Princess Marathon. Only time will tell since it's a year away and they'll be in college.
Karen Glover said the half marathon would be a great experience for anyone.
"It makes you feel like a kid . . .running through the castle," she said.
She wouldn't take anything for spending quality time with her daughter and her friends during their senior year of high school.
"It is something I will always remember and be so thankful I got to do before they graduated," Karen said. "I'll always be grateful for the time we were in training."
As for the cheerleaders, Starlyn Hunt and Montana, it was a different story.
They arrived at the bus stop at 4 a.m. the day of the race. "But the bus never came," Montana said.
Finally at 7:20 a.m., the bus arrived and Starlyn and Montana jumped on the bus for the ride to the race. "We only got to watch them cross the finish line. . .But it was huge — 25,000 people crossing the finish line.

The Constitution of Mexico, formally the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States (Spanish: Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos) is the current constitution of Mexico. It was drafted in Santiago de Querétaro, in the State of Querétaro, by a constitutional convention, during the Mexican Revolution. It was approved by the Constitutional Congress on February 5, 1917. It is the successor to the Constitution of 1857, and earlier Mexican constitutions.
The current Constitution of 1917 is the first such document in the world to set out social rights, serving as a model for the Weimar Constitution of 1919 and the Russian Constitution of 1918.[1][2][3][4] Some of the most important provisions are Articles 3, 27, and 123; these display profound changes in Mexican political philosophy that helped frame the political and social backdrop for Mexico in the twentieth century. Aimed at restricting the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico Article 3 forbids the setting up of a list of prohibited books and establishes the bases for a free, mandatory, and secular education;[5][6][7] article 27 led the foundation for land reforms;[6][7] and article 123 was designed to empower the labor sector, which had emerged in the late nineteenth century and which supported the winning faction of the Mexican Revolution.[6][7]
Articles 3, 5, 24, 27, and 130 seriously restricted the powerful Roman Catholic Church in Mexico,[8] and attempts to enforce the articles strictly by President Plutarco Calles (1924–28) in 1926 led to the violent conflict known as the Cristero War.[8]
In 1992, under the administration of Carlos Salinas de Gortari, there were significant revisions of the constitution, modifying Article 27 to better guarantee private property rights and ended redistribution of land, and the articles restricting the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico were largely repealed.[9][10][11][12][13]

Constitution Day (Día de la Constitución) is one of Mexico's annual Fiestas Patrias (public holidays), commemorating the promulgation of the Constitution. Although the official anniversary is on February 5, the holiday takes place on the first Monday of February regardless of the date.
The Political Constitution of the United Mexican States is one of the main products of the Mexican Revolution of 1910. Francisco I. Madero originally led the revolution against the longtime autocrat Porfirio Díaz and he became president in November 1911 after Villa and Orozco defeated Díaz in Ciudad Juárez. Madero was eventually overthrown and executed in 1913 by the dictator Victoriano Huerta, who had conspired with Félix Díaz, Bernardo Reyes, and the U.S. Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson to remove Madero from power. The reaction to Huerta usurpation was Venustiano Carranza's Plan of Guadalupe, calling for the creation of a Constitutional Army, for Huerta's ouster, and for the restoration of a constitutional government.
The Political Constitution of the United Mexican States was redacted by the Constitutional Congress convoked by Venustiano Carranza in September 1916 after the triumph of the Constitutional Army. The new constitution was approved on February 5, 1917, and it was based in the previous one instituted by Benito Juárez in 1857. Several of its articles reflected the social distress existing in Mexico at the beginning of the twentieth century: articles 3 and 130 restricted the power of the Catholic Church as a consequence of the support given by the Mexican Church's Hierarchy to Victoriano Huerta dictatorship,[15][16][17] article 27 stated in particular that foreign citizens cannot own land at the borders or coasts as a consequence of the United States occupation of Veracruz,[6][7] and article 123 was designed to empower the labor sector as a consequence of the brutal repression of Cananea and Río Blanco strikes.[6][7] Nevertheless Venustiano Carranza declared himself against the final redaction of the articles that enacted anticlerical policies and social reform;[18] namely Articles 3, 5, 24, 27, 123, 130. But the Constitutional Congress contained only 85 conservatives and centrists close to Carranza's brand of liberalism, and against them there were 132 more radical delegates.[19][20][21]
This constitution is the first one in the world to set out social rights, serving as a model for the Weimar Constitution of 1919 and the Russian Constitution of 1918.[1][2][3][4] The most important articles: 3, 27, and 123 displayed profound changes in Mexican political philosophy that would help frame the political and social backdrop for the rest of the century. Article 3 forbids the setting up of a list of prohibited books and established the bases for a mandatory and lay education;[5][6][7] article 27 led the foundation for land reforms;[6][7] and article 123 was designed to empower the labor sector.[6][7] The Constitution was also amended in 1927 to extend the president's term for four years to six years.[22] The constitution was also amended in 1926 to allow presidential re-elections as long as the presidents didn't serve consecutive terms;[23] this amendment would later be repealed in 1934.[24]
Anticlerical articles and the 1934, 1946 and 1992 Amendments[edit]
|The neutrality of this article is disputed. (March 2014)
Articles 3, 5, 24, 27, and 130 as originally enacted in 1917 were anticlerical and restricted the role of the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico, as well as well as other organized churches. It has been argued that these restrictions were included in part due to a desire by anticlerical framers to punish the Mexican Church's hierarchy for its support of Victoriano Huerta,[15][16][17] but the Mexican Constitution of 1857 enacted during the Liberal Reform in Mexico, already significantly curtailed the role of religious institutions.
Presidents Venustiano Carranza (1917-1920) and Alvaro Obregón (1920-1924) did not implement the anticlerical articles of the constitution. Starting in 1926 President Plutarco Elías Calles (1924-1928) sought to enforce them. This led to fierce regional violence known as the Cristero War.[8] Some scholars have characterized the constitution in this era as a "hostile" approach to the issue of church and state separation.[25] The Cristero War came to an end in 1929, with U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Dwight Morrow acting as mediator between the Mexican government and the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. The constitution was made even more anticlerical in the period from 1934 to 1946, when an amendment mandating "socialist education" was in effect; but in practice, socialist education ended with President Manuel Avila Camacho, who said at the beginning of his presidential term "I am a [religious] believer" (Soy creyente), signaling the end of the enforcement of the anticlerical articles. The anticlerical articles remained in the Constitution until the reforms of 1992.
In 1926 Pope Pius XI, in the encyclical Acerba animi, stated that the anticlerical articles of the constitution were "seriously derogatory to the most elementary and inalienable rights of the Church and of the faithful" and that both he and his predecessor had endeavored to avoid their application by the Mexican government.[26]
Article 3 of the constitution required that education, in both public and private schools be completely secular and free of any religious instruction and prohibited religions from participating in education – essentially outlawing Catholic schools or even religious education in private schools.[8] Article 3 likewise prohibited ministers or religious groups from aiding the poor, engaging in scientific research, and spreading their teachings.[8] The constitution prohibited churches to own property and transferred all church property to the state – thus making all houses of worship state property.[8]
Article 130 of the constitution denied churches any kind of legal status[27] and allowed local legislators to limit the number of ministers, (essentially giving the state the ability to ban religion) and banned any ministers not born in Mexico.[8] It denied ministers freedom of association, the right to vote and freedom of speech, prohibiting them and religious publications from criticising the law or government.[8] The constitution prohibited any worship outside of a church building,[8] which essentially made Pope John Paul II's outdoor masses and other religious celebrations during his 1980 and 1990 visits illegal acts under the law.[28][29]
On December 13, 1934[30] Article 3 was amended to mandate "socialist education", even more hostile to religion which "in addition to removing all religious doctrine" would "combat fanaticism and prejudices", "build[ing] in the youth a rational and exact concept of the universe and of social life".[8] In 1946 "socialist education" was removed from the constitution and the document returned to the generalized secular education.[8]
Constitutional Reform under President SalinasIn his inaugural address, President Carlos Salinas de Gortari (1988-1994) announced a program to "modernize" Mexico via structural transformation. "The modern state is a state which … maintains transparency and updates its relation with political parties, entrepreneurial groups, and the church."[31] His declaration was more an articulation of the direction of change, but not list of specifics.
The implementation of reforms entailed amending the constitution, but before that overcoming opposition on the Left but also in the Catholic Church itself.[32] After considerable debate, the Mexican legislature voted for these fundamental revisions in Church-State policy.[33][34]
The Constitution of 1917 had several anticlerical restrictions. Article 5 restricted the existence of religious orders; Article 24 restricted church services outside of church buildings; Article 27 which empowered the State over fundamental aspects of property ownership and resulted in expropriation and distribution of lands, and most famously in 1938, the expropriation of foreign oil companies. Article 27 also prevented churches from holding real property at all. For the Catholic hierarchy, Article 130 prevented the recognition of the Church as a legal entity, denied to clergy the exercise of political rights, and prevented the Church from participating in any way in political matters.
The Church had contested all these restrictions from the beginning. With the possibility of changed relations between Church and State, "the main demand of the Catholic hierarchy was centered on the modification of Article 130" to recognize the Church as a legal entity, restore political rights to priests, and to end restrictions "on the social actions of the Church and its members."[35] The initial reaction to changing the constitution was quite negative from members of the Institutional Revolutionary Party who saw anticlericalism as an inherent element of post-Revolution Mexico. It was clear that given the contested nature of the 1988 elections that Salinas could not expect to operate with a mandate for his program. However, the debate was now open. The leftists led by Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas opposed any change in the anticlerical articles of the constitution, since they were seen the foundation for the power of the secular state. However, the National Action Party (Mexico) in alliance with the weakened PRI became allies to move toward fundamental reforms.
The Vatican likely sensed a sea-change in the Mexican ruling party's stance on anticlericalism. In 1990 John Paul II visited Mexico, his first since 1979 for the Puebla conference of Latin American bishops. After the announcement of his intentions, the Mexican Minister of the Interior (Gobernación) stated flatly that the government would not amend Article 130. Nonetheless, the Mexican government began moves to normalize diplomatic relations with the Vatican. The pope's second 1990 trip in May put increased pressure on the Mexican government to take steps to normalization, particularly after the Vatican and the Soviet Union did so that year. Although Salinas planned a trip to the Vatican in 1991, the Catholic hierarchy in Mexico did not want normalization of relations with the Vatican without discussion of significant changes to the constitution.[36]
An even more significant change came when in Salinas's official state of the nation address in November 1991. He stated that "the moment has come to promote new judicial proceedings for the churches," which were impelled by the need "to reconcile the definitive secularization of our society with effective religious freedom."[37] The government proposed changes to the constitution to "respect freedom of religion," but affirmed the separation of Church and State, kept in place secular public education, as well as restrictions on clerics' political participation in civic life and accumulating wealth.[37]
The bill to amend the constitution was submitted to the legislature to reform Articles 3, 5, 24, and 130.[38] The bill passed in December 1991 with the support of the conservative National Action Party (Mexico) (PAN). The enabling legislation was debated far more than the initial bill, but in July 1992, the Ley de Asociaciones Religosas y Culto Público (Religious Associations Act), the implementation legislation passed 408-10. The leftist Partido Revolucionario Democrático struggled with whether to support this significant change to Mexico's anticlericalism, but most PRD legislators did in the end.[39]
The constitution still does not accord full religious freedom as recognized by the various human rights declarations and conventions; specifically, outdoor worship is still prohibited and only allowed in exceptional circumstances generally requiring governmental permission, religious organizations are not permitted to own print or electronic media outlets, governmental permission is required to broadcast religious ceremonies, and ministers are prohibited from being political candidates or holding public office.[8]
Capital punishment and 2005 Amendment[edit]
On November 8, 2005, The Senate of Mexico adopted a final decree amending the Constitution as approved by the majority of the Federated States, modifying articles 14 and 22[40] banning the use of capital punishment in its entirety.
Current articles of the constitution[edit]
The main ideas or an abstract of the current contents of the articles of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States is as follows. Not all articles are presented. See [41] for the full English text of the articles (edition published in 2005).
Article 1[edit]
This article states that every individual in Mexico (official name, Estados Unidos Mexicanos or United Mexican States) has the rights that the Constitution gives. These rights cannot be denied and they cannot be suspended. Slavery is illegal in Mexico; any slaves from abroad who enter national territory will, by this mere act, be freed and given the full protection of the law. All types of discrimination whether it be for ethnic origin, national origin, gender, age, different capacities, social condition, health condition, religion, opinions, sexual preferences, or civil state or any other which attacks human dignity and has as an objective to destroy the rights and liberties of the people are forbidden.
Article 2[edit]
This article states the nature of the Mexican nation.
The Mexican nation is unique and indivisible. The nation is pluricultural based originally on its indigenous tribes which are those that are descendants of the people that lived in the current territory of the country at the beginning of the colonization and that preserve their own social, economic, cultural, political institutions. The awareness of their indigenous identity should be fundamental criteria to determine to whom the dispositions over indigenous tribes are applied. They are integral communities of an indigenous tribe that form a social, economic and cultural organization.
Article 3[edit]
The education imparted by the Federal State shall be designed to develop harmoniously all the faculties of the human being and shall foster in him at the same time a love of country and a consciousness of international solidarity, in independence and justice. Said education must be free of bias. (As per the full definition of the word "Laica" as used in the original document)
I. According to the religious liberties established under article 24, educational services shall be secular and, therefore, free of any religious orientation. II. The educational services shall be based on scientific progress and shall fight against ignorance, ignorance's effects, servitudes, fanaticism and prejudice.[41]
It shall be democratic, considering democracy not only as a legal structure and a political regimen, but as a system of life founded on a constant economic, social, and cultural betterment of the people;

Private persons may engage in education of all kinds and grades. But as regards elementary, secondary, and normal education (and that of any kind or grade designed for laborers and farm workers) they must previously obtain, in every case, the express authorization of the public power. Such authorization may be refused or revoked by decisions against which there can be no judicial proceedings or recourse.
Private institutions devoted to education of the kinds and grades specified in the preceding section must be without exception in conformity with the provisions of sections I and II of the first paragraph of this article and must also be in harmony with official plans and programs.
Religious corporations, ministers of religion, stock companies which exclusively or predominantly engage in educational activities, and associations or companies devoted to propagation of any religious creed shall not in any way participate in institutions giving elementary, secondary and normal education and education for laborers or field workers. The State may in its discretion withdraw at any time the recognition of official validity of studies conducted in private institutions.
Elementary education shall be compulsory.
All education given by the State shall be free.
The Congress of the Union, with a view to unifying and coordinating education throughout the Republic, shall issue the necessary laws for dividing the social function of education among the Federation, the States and the Municipalities, for fixing the appropriate financial allocations for this public service and for establishing the penalties applicable to officials who do not comply with or enforce the pertinent provisions, as well as the penalties applicable to all those who infringe such provisions.

In no case shall printers be seized as crimes' instruments.[41]
Article 8[edit]
Public functionaries and employees will respect the public exercise to their right to petition, as long as it is formulated in writing, in a peaceful and respectful manner. In political petitioning, only citizens of the republic have this right.
Article 9[edit]
Only citizens of the Republic may take part in the political affairs of the country.[42]
Article 10[edit]
Citizens of the Republic may, for their protection, own guns and arms in their homes.

Foreigners may not pass the border with unlicensed firearms; the commission of such act is a felony, punishable by prison term. See Gun politics in Mexico).
Article 11[edit]
"Every man has a right to enter the Republic, exit it, travel through its territory, and change his residence without the need of a security card, passport, or any similar device. The exercise of this right will be subordinated to the faculties of judicial authority, in the cases of criminal or civil responsibility, and to the limits of the administrative authorities, on the limits imposed by laws on emigration, immigration, and health safety laws in the Republic, or over foreigners residing in our country."
Article 12[edit]
The Mexican state does not have a peerage and cannot confer a title of nobility upon any person. (The Mexican Congress does confer awards such as the Order of the Aztec Eagle to notable persons.)
Article 13[edit]
There are no private courts (i.e.: feudal or manorial courts) in Mexico. Military courts-martial can not be used to judge civilians.
Article 14[edit]
Prohibits the enactment of ex post facto (retroactive) laws. All persons punished under the law are entitled to due process, punishments must follow what is dictated by written law. Note that due process under Mexican law is not the same as US law as Mexico is not a common law country.
Article 15[edit]
Disallows international treaties for extradition when the person to be extradited is politically persecuted, or accused while having the condition of slave, or when the foreign country contravenes the civil rights granted in the Mexican constitution (like the right to life and the abolishment of the death penalty in Article 22).
Article 16[edit]
"In cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities." In other words, a citizen's arrest is allowed.
Article 17[edit]
Prohibits vigilante justice, all civil and criminal disputes must be resolved before courts. Mandates speedy trials in both civil and criminal matters. Prohibits levying of "court costs" and fees, judicial service is free to all parties. Courts are to be free and independent. Imprisonment for debts is prohibited. This article makes provisions relating to arrest and imprisonment. The article's emphasis on "social readjustment of the offender" was interpreted for a time after 2001 as forbidding sentences of life imprisonment, which led to the refusal of some extradition requests from the United States.
Article 18[edit]
Mandates gender segregation of inmates and separation of those held for trial from those who have been convicted. Limits the government's authority to arrest only those suspected of crimes for which imprisonment is an allowed punishment.
Article 19[edit]
Prohibits detention in excess of 72 hours (3 days) without formal charges. Mandates due process for imprisonable charges. Separate crimes discovered during an investigation must be charged separately. Mistreatment during detention by authorities, all discomforts that are inflicted without legal motive, and all fees or contributions (forced bribes) in jails are abuses that will be prohibited by law and curbed by the authorities.
Article 20[edit]
Allows people charged to remain silent.
Article 21[edit]
Crime investigation corresponds to the Public Ministry and different police corps, which will be under the command of whoever is in the exercise of that function. This article proceeds to explain the functions of the Public Ministry, police, and trials.
Article 22[edit]
Cruel and unusual punishment is prohibited. Specifically, penalties of death, mutilation, infamy, marks, physical punishments, torments, excessive fines, confiscation of assets, and others are abolished.
Confiscation of assets does not include the application of said assets to pay for civil responsibilities caused by a crime, or when used to pay taxes or other fines. Nor will it be confiscation when said assets are part of illegal activities, or when they are related to organized crime, or when proof of ownership cannot be established.
Article 23[edit]
No trial should have more than three instances. No one can be judged twice for the same crime, whether the person is declared guilty or non-guilty.
Article 24[edit]
"Every man is free to pursue the religious belief that best suits him, and to practice its ceremonies, devotions or cults, as long as they do not constitute a crime. Congress cannot dictate laws that establish or abolish any given religion. Ordinarily, all religious acts will be practiced in temples, and those that extraordinarily are practiced outside temples must adhere to law." This article also establishes that religious institutions be subject to limits of ownership of land as dictated by the national government (whereby the government may declare such property part of the national legacy), to prevent the kind of situation experienced in the past which the Catholic churches and monasteries also owned large areas around them, in many cases entire villages.
Article 25[edit]
The State will plan, determine, and carry out the development of the Nation, so that it guarantees its integrity, strengthens national sovereignty, and allows for a broader exercise of freedom and dignity of the individuals through an economic growth that distributes wealth with justice.
Article 26[edit]
The State will encourage the development of democracy which will support economic growth.
Article 27[edit]
The property of all land and water within national territory is originally owned by the Nation, who has the right to transfer this ownership to particulars. Hence, private property is a privilege created by the Nation.
Expropriations may only be made when there is a public utility cause.
The State will always have the right to impose on private property constraints dictated by "public interest". The State will also regulate the exploitation of natural resources based on social benefits and the equal distribution of wealth. The state is also responsible for conservation and ecological considerations.
All natural resources in national territory are property of the nation, and private exploitation may only be carried out through concessions.
Nuclear fuel may only be exploited and used by the State. The use of Nuclear elements in the Nation may only have peaceful purposes (i.e., Mexico cannot build nuclear weapons).
This article also deals with other subtleties on what constitutes Mexico's territory.
Foreign citizens cannot own land within 100 km of the borders or 50 km of the sea; however, foreigners can have a beneficial interest in such land through a trust (fideicomiso), where the legal ownership of the land is held by a Mexican financial institution. The only precondition sine qua non to granting such a beneficial interest is that the foreigner agree that all matters relating to such land are the exclusive domain of Mexican courts and Mexican jurisdiction, and that in all issues pertaining to such land, the foreigner will conduct him or herself as a Mexican, and settle any issues arising from their interest in such land exclusively through Mexican courts and institutions. The stipulated consequence of a failure to abide by these terms is forfeiture to the nation of their interests in all lands where the foreigner has such beneficial interests.
That an area of land next to the coast (20 meters from the highest tide line) is federal property which cannot be sold to particulars.
Article 28[edit]
All monopolies are prohibited.
The areas of the economy in direct control of the government, such as post, telegraph, oil and its derivatives, basic petrochemical industries, radioactive minerals, and the generation of electricity are not considered to be monopolies.
The State will protect areas of priority in the economy, such as satellite communications and railroads.
The Nation will have a Central Bank with the primary objective of procuring the stability of the national currency. The Central Bank and its activities will not be considered monopolies either.
Unions and workers associations will not be considered monopolies. Guilds will not be considered to be monopolies when their purpose is the economic equality of the industry, as long as the guild is overseen by the Federal Government.
Copyrights and patents will not be considered monopolies.
Article 29[edit]
"In the case of an invasion, a serious disrupt of public peace or any event that puts society in danger or conflict, only the President of the United Mexican States, in accordance with the Secretaries of State and the General Attorney of the Republic, and with approval of the Congress of the Union and, on its recesses, the Permanent Commission, may suspend in all the country or in a specific place any guarantee which were an obstacle to face quickly and easily the situation; but the president shall only do it for a limited time. If the suspension had place when the Congress is gathered, then the Congress will grant any authorization that it deems necessary for the Executive to face the situation.
Article 30[edit]
This article speaks about the Mexican nationality.
Article 31[edit]
This article speaks about obligations of Mexicans.
Article 32[edit]
"Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable." Foreigners, immigrants, and even naturalized citizens of Mexico may not serve as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, or chiefs of seaports and airports.
Article 33[edit]
"The Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action." It also states: "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country."[42]
Article 39[edit]
National sovereignty is bestowed essentially and originally upon the people. Every public power derives from the people and is instituted for their benefit. The people possess, at all times, the inalienable right to alter or change their form of government.
Article 34[edit]
About the Mexican nationality.
Article 55[edit]
A deputy or senator must be "a Mexican citizen by birth."
Article 91[edit]
Cabinet officers must be Mexicans by birth.
Article 95[edit]
Supreme Court justices must be Mexican by birth.
Article 123[edit]
Covers the rights of workers, including the eight-hour work day, the right to strike, the right to a day's rest per week, and the right to a proper indemnification following unjustified termination of the working relationship by the employer. This article also established equality regardless of race or gender.
Article 123 was perhaps the most radical of the provisions of the 1917 Constitution and was intended to give the working class a relief to the many abuses and hardships they had previously faced from uncontrolled labor managers.
Article 130[edit]
States that church(es) and state are to remain separate. It provides for the obligatory state registration of all "churches and religious groupings" and places a series of restrictions on priests and ministers of all religions (ineligible to hold public office, to canvas on behalf of political parties or candidates, to inherit from persons other than close blood relatives, etc.).

Greg Peri Named Athletic Trainer
- Release Date:
- August 5, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
The athletic department at Hilbert College welcomes Greg Peri as the Hawks new athletic trainer beginning the 2013-14 academic year.
Peri brings a varied background related to athletic strength training, injury prevention and rehabilitation. The Cheektowaga native will work with the college's team doctor, Dr. Jennifer Teeter (Buffalo Orthopaedic Group), to provide complete medical care for approximately 225 student-athletes in Hilbert's 13 varsity sports.
Peri has certifications and licensures from the National Athletic Trainers Association, the State of New York Education Department and the American Red Cross for First Aid, CPR and AED for the professional rescuer.
Prior to Hilbert, Peri served as a certified Athletic Trainer for both Excelsior Orthopaedics (Clarence High School, 2012-13) and for Catholic Health System (Medaille College, 2011-12). He overlapped his athletic training duties while serving as a Physician Extender at the University at Buffalo Orthopedics from October 2011 to August 2012.
After he graduated from Alfred University (2010) with a bachelor's of sciences degree in Athletic Training, with a minor in Exercise Science, he jumped right into his profession and worked at the Tonawanda Aquatic & Fitness Center as a Personal Trainer.
Peri completed his Master of Sport Administration from Canisius College in May 2012.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Gossip Girl
Will There Be a Gossip Girl Spin-Off?
While some shows thrive on the constant introduction of wacky guest stars, Gossip Girl has been anchored for six years by a core group of rad characters. Whether you've been dressing and scheming like Blair (Leighton Meester) in hopes of landing your own Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), or sitting at a hotel bar for years, practicing your best look of ennui, chances are you've grown fond of the GG crew.
With the series finale still hanging in our rear view mirror, we bet we're not the only ones wondering about possible spin-offs for the show. Imagine Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) opening up a private eye firm and catching cheating husbands in the act, or Nate (Chace Crawford) starting a brothel. Primetime gold, you guys.
Sadly, no spin-offs ever came to be, no matter how many letters we wrote. But the show did inspire other countries to get gossiping. In China, a series called China Girl has been in the works, with GG creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage consulting.
According to the LA Times, this is a pretty big deal for China, where most of the American imports are game shows. "The scripts for China Girl had to be approved in advance by the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television before production could start," which could mean a lot of hoops to jump through if they're working on similarly racy content.
And China isn't the only country wanting to share secrets. In Mexico, a series titled Gossip Girl: Acalpulco is in the works with some hot young actors and is set to air in 2013. What are the Spanish names for Chuck and Blair?

The MINOX HG Series. The reference class among MINOX binoculars with 15% more field of view - Made in Germany
German optical engineers have created an innovative generation of binoculars to meet the highest market demands
Powerful twilight performance, top class technology and a sophisticated design the HG 8x56 from MINOX perfectly complements the entire high-grade binocular series.
The HG 8x56 with extreme light gathering power, is the ideal companion for observation or hunting in moonlight or in twilight conditions. By using special optical glass from internationaly reknown glass experts, the ingenious optical system provides for a fascinatingly high level of light transmission which is bound to be highly rated for brightness and contrast. Apart from optics, MINOX has also installed a 'first' with the innovative Quick-Close-Focusing (QCF) makeing it possible to take exact distance readings from a scale on the focusing wheel, a feature often looked for in binoculars. With these exciting features and given quality, the MINOX HG 8x56 is todays trailblazer that has all the quality and features potential to become tomorrows classic in its class.
Top quality light transmission is an essential mark of quality in binoculars. MINOX engineers developed the innovative M*-coating of the lenses which consists of up to 21 different layers on the glass surfaces, adapting the various wavelengths of the visible light. This increases the overall light transmission to an impressive 92 percent, while improving brightness, contrast, detail and colour rendering significantly. Another benefit is a completely new optical system designed by our in-house experts with internal anti-reflection and anti-glare coatings to help improve contrast. To provide a reliable and durable protection against internal corrosion and fogging, the binoculars are filled with state-of-the-art Argon gas.
Another milestone is the mirroring of the roof prisms through the MinoBright technology. This silver-based coating guarantees an improvement of up to 99.8 percent efficiency of light reflected from the mirror surface. Yet another improvement towards better light transmission within all HG binoculars is the use of high-tech special glass with outstanding optical properties.
Better and more advanced handling is achieved through the Quick-Close-Focus (QCF), developed and patented by MINOX. With just one turn of the focusing wheel the HG-binoculars can be adjusted from close-up to infinity. This one turn allows fast focusing close-up, and a more precise focusing for longer distances. With the aid of a scale on the central focusing wheel, the distance to the object in focus is indicated to the user. This additional feature makes these HG-binoculars a reliable distance rangefinder.
The rotating eye cups for people wearing glasses - found on all MINOX binoculars - can be adjusted in four fixed stops. The MINOX HG 8x56 comes with an exclusive case as well as a neoprene strap.
MINOX Comfort Service
From the date of registration, your product will be protected against manufacturing defects and functional failures for a duration of 30 years. Please remember, your product must be registered within 30 days from the date of purchase.
