Copyright and Consumer Digital Rights, Part 2
Sunday Pop Quiz
How many books are currently in the public domain and available online?
- About 10,000
- About 50,000
- 100,000 +
Another easy one? The answer is C, at least according to Project Gutenberg, where you can access more than 100,000 books between PG and its various partners and affiliates. I don't know about you, but I find that a mind-boggling number of free, digitally-available volumes. Especially since it feels like with the more recent copyright extensions that virtually nothing is passing into the public domain these days.
In my last installment of this informal series, I introduced the idea of balance in copyright law – more specifically balance between the rights of a creator and the rights of the public to intellectual property. I want to follow that up here with a very simplified discussion of how that balance has been struck by the US Supreme Court. While that may seem counterintuitive, since copyright law is Congressionally controlled, I am sticking to the Court decisions here because I think they're a) easier to understand than some of the statutory language, b) good at clarifying some of the most important issues in copyright law, and c) ideally about balancing competing claims to intellectual property rights.
The first copyright cases of significance are Wheaton v. Peters in 1834 and Baker v. Selden in 1879. Wheaton determined that statutory limitations on copyright trumped any common law tradition of perpetual copyright in any and all of the (then 24!) states, with the further requirement that a creator follow all statutory provisions required for registering the copyright properly before trying to enforce the right legally. Thus the Court held
That a man is entitled to the fruits of his own labors must be admitted, but he can enjoy them only, except by statutory provision, under the rules of property which regulate society and which define the rights of things in general. . .
The first section of the act of 1790 provides that an author, or his assignee,
"Shall have the sole right and liberty of printing, reprinting, publishing, and vending such map, chart, book, or books for the term of fourteen years from the recording of the title thereof in the clerk's office–. And at the expiration of the said term, the author, &c., shall have the same exclusive right continued to him, &c., for the further term of fourteen years." [emphasis mine]
The notion of profiting from one's labor is central to the analysis here, as the labor theory of intellectual property rights is one of the foundational principles of American jurisprudence. People should be able to enjoy the "fruits of their labor," especially against those who seek gain without their own labor (or who attempt to "free-ride" on the labor of another), as long as they follow certain procedures, and as long as that profit does not create a creative monopoly against the public interest in the free-flow of creative resources and fundamental rights like free speech. Very early on you see the Court balancing the rights of the creator against the rights of the public in regard to creative works, recognizing that both sets of rights are compelling, even mutually reinforcing.
Such balancing continues in Baker v. Selden, where the Court teased out the distinction between an idea, which is not subject to copyright, and the expression of that idea, which is. As the Court put it in Wheaton, "the identity of a literary composition consists entirely in the sentiment and the language."
Distinctions are important because of the particular nature of the property interests one has in copyright. We routinely talk about "IP theft," but such a term is much more compatible with real property items than intellectual property, per se. In 1985, the Court rejected this characterization in Dowling v. United States, holding that copyright infringement is not the same thing as criminal theft of property as defined by the (then) US criminal code, in part because
The section's language clearly contemplates a physical identity between the items unlawfully obtained and those eventually transported, and hence some prior physical taking of the subject goods. Since the statutorily defined property rights of a copyright holder have a character distinct from the possessory interest of the owner of simple "goods, wares, [or] merchandise," interference with copyright does not easily equate with theft, conversion, or fraud. The infringer of a copyright does not assume physical control over the copyright, nor wholly deprive its owner of its use. Infringement implicates a more complex set of property interests than does run-of-the-mill theft, conversion, or fraud.
There is another important aspect of that balance in the Court's assertion that the copyright infringer does not completely deprive the copyright holder of his/her rights. So while the concept of "theft" might have a certain moral weight, its legal status makes room for lawful uses of copyrighted material like Fair Use.
Fair Use is that particular species of copyright infringement that is permitted in limited circumstances, including education, parody, and a few other areas of public interest. Like all copyright issues, the limits of Fair Use are delineated on a case-by-case basis. And the rules here are everything, because the difference between infringement and lawful use (or Fair Use infringement) can rest on something as simple as proper registration or as complicated as a market competition analysis.
There is, for example, the 1918 case of INS v. AP, wherein the Court held against the International News Service, which had been republishing news stories that AP wrote and published, granting AP an "quasi-property interest" in their news stories, leaning heavily on the logic against free-riding on the labor of the AP reporters who did all the initial work in gathering facts, writing the stories, and transmitting them for publication. Since the INS was basically re-posting the stories for profit, thereby interfering with AP's potential profit, INS was deemed to be infringing, even though the news itself is generally held to be property of the public domain.
By contrast, the 2002 case of Dastar v. 20th Century Fox held for Dastar, which had taken episodes of a television show that Fox had allowed to pass into the public domain, packaging them in video-tape form and selling them as part of a series on World War II. Fox tried to claim copyright infringement, but since Dastar had used the original TV episodes, which had not been registered for copyright extension and were therefore in the public domain, Dastar was not deemed to have infringed.
Then there is the case of the Gerald Ford memoirs, where Harper and Row had given Time exclusive rights to run an excerpt in anticipation of the book's publication. In the meantime, however, someone from The Nation got a hold of the manuscript and wrote his own article, utilizing quotes and other things from the manuscript, pre-empting Time's scoop. While The Nation claimed Fair Use, the Court disagreed, holding that the market effect of The Nation's article was devastating to Time, as the whole point of the Time piece had been to promote Ford's memoirs and increase sales of both the book and the magazine. Instead, The Nation basically re-routed that commercial flow in its own direction, for its own profit. Of the four elements in a Fair Use analysis – purpose of use, nature of the copyrighted work, amount and substantiality of the portion used, and market effect – the fourth element dominated the case, in large part because the purpose here was deemed to be commercial. In fact, only 300 words of the memoir as quoted in The Nation article were found to be copyright protected.
We have seen several examples of Fair Use analysis in the fiction community of late, namely the Rowling-RDR case. And now the AP is trying to force bloggers who link to their articles to buy licenses. During the presidential election, both McCain and Obama were subject to requests made to YouTube to take down campaign material on the basis of alleged DMCA violations (which raises substantial First Amendment issues, among others). In fact, as both technology and communication continue to move farther and farther into the digital frontier, there is much concern about the balancing of rights in copyright law, from both content creators and the public. Each side believes that their rights are being unfairly limited, and Congress seems to be more and more likely to amend the copyright statutes as technology evolves. Next time I will focus in on the DMCA and then on the issue of piracy as they each relate to the current balance of rights in copyright law.

Tapping Your Retirement Nest Egg
Use this calculator to figure your annual payout in retirementadjusted for inflation.
Will you have enough money each year to pay for the retirement lifestyle you want? The National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE), Greenwood Village, Colo., recommends you ask yourself these questions:
- How much money do I have for retirement?
- How much money will I need to pay bills in retirement?
- Do I want to travel?
- Whats the cost of living where I plan to live?
- Will I have my mortgage paid off?
- How much should I budget for medical expenses and/or insurance?
- What debts can I pay off before retiring?
As you factor in all the variables, remember that youll probably be paying tax on your withdrawals (except for withdrawals from Roth IRAs).
By planning and investing now, you can be on the road to building that nest egg youll need. Talk to a financial planner or the professionals at your credit union for further information about building and using your retirement savings.

Tom's Leading Lady
The rumor mill has long maintained that the Church of Scientology auditioned some of Hollywood's hottest young actresses for the role of a lifetime: Mrs. Tom Cruise. In addition to eventual bride Katie Holmes, Scarlett Johansson and even Lindsay Lohan were named among the women who supposedly auditioned for Tom and the church for the coveted role. In September 2012, Vanity Fair published an exposé on the audition process, claiming Iranian-British actress Nazanin Boniadi was chosen to date Tom from November 2004 until January 2005, before Katie Holmes eventually won the part. But reps for Tom and the Church of Scientology have both vehemently denied the allegations. So unless you're willing to undergo a major religious conversion, you may never know the truth!

The collection, which will be sold in 10 Debenhams stores and online from November 22, is likely to include two vibrators and a "tickle stick" made by Tabooboo, which opened a concession in Selfridges earlier this year.
The retailer is also launching a range of underwear this week by upmarket lingerie firm Myla. Midnight by Myla, which features diamante blindfolds and bras with slits, will be sold in 40 stores.
Debenhams' move into sex toys follows reports that Superdrug and Boots are in talks with Durex about stocking its "pleasure-enhancing" Play range.
Market leader Ann Summers reported that sales of sex toys doubled to 2m units in the past year.

It is the Fourth Week of Advent.
"For nothing will be impossible for God." Luke 1:37
The angel Gabriel speaks these words to Mary. Nothing is impossible for God, he tells her.
We know this but we do not always remember it. We tend to limit God a lot. We say or we hear things like:
God will never forgive me for this.
God does not hear my prayers.
God cannot possibly love me the way I am.
We do not always have the faith that Mary had. We do not always believe in the impossible happening.
But miracles still happen.
God still does the impossible.
Do we believe and trust like Mary did?

Advent Reflections on Scripture
Fourth Sunday of Advent
I read somewhere that Jesus does not exist to GIVE us joy. Jesus IS our joy.
Joy is not our goal. JESUS is our goal.
Wow. Jesus is our joy. I just love that.
Thank you, Lord.
Monday of the Fourth Week of Advent
I am tired. Just a few days left to advent. Then time to chill out a bit.
But still, Lord, I keep my eyes on you. Wait. Hope. Love. The story of advent.
Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Advent
I went to the chapel today to pray before the Blessed Sacrament. I had no prayer except to tell Jesus - I love you. I felt close to tears.
I think my wait is coming to an end. I think I sense His presence and his love. Even if just for a day. It is enough.
Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Advent
Fix your eyes on him alone and you will find, in addition, more than you ask and desire. - St. John of the Cross
Amen to that.
Keeping my eyes on Jesus this advent, or at least trying to, has given me a more spiritual advent than usual.
I did not get hung up on shopping and commercialism, etc. I got more hung up on prayers and remembering that Jesus is what we are all about.
Christmas is drawing near. Where does time go?
Thursday of the Fourth Week of Advent
"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my savior." (Luke 1:46-47)
The Magnificat never ceases to move me. It reminds me of those moments in my life when I, too, have sung the Lord's praises because of what He has done for me.
My spirit rejoices. No matter what else is going on in my life, Jesus is there for me. I have learned over the years to trust in His presence.
And to know He loves me.
Friday of the Fourth Week of Advent
It's almost Christmas. The parish office has been pretty busy this week. I am running back & forth between the church and the office. Each time I do, I feel a nudge to go to the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.
So each time I go there, I pay attention to that nudge and I go to make a short visit, to say hello to Jesus.
And all I can do, it seems, is stand there in front of the tabernacle, with tears rolling down my face. I really don't know why. I just feel filled up with love for Jesus. And an awareness of His presence.
It's almost Christmas. Perhaps my waiting is over. Perhaps I have found Bethlehem.
Saturday of the Fourth Week of Advent
Christmas Eve. I seemed to be waiting for such a long time, but here it is.
Going to midnight Mass. It will seem to be dark, but then the light of the world is coming tonight. The light of the world will be here and make all things new.
Glory to God in the highest!
Christmas Day
It is Christmas. The long wait is over and we are here. We are here to celebrate and to rejoice in the birth of our King. Our King of peace and love and joy.
It is Christmas. It is the day to remember when Jesus came, to be aware of Jesus being born in our hearts every day, and to pray for the time when he comes again.
It is Christmas. Thank, you Jesus. Thank you for bringing light into our dark world.
I love you.
From Fourth Week of Advent to Advent Season

Good sisters they were,
Roaming the sky together,
The sun and the moon.
The sun was friendly,
Happy, energetic, kind,
Always shining bright.
She gave needed warmth,
Her glow keeping us alive,
we all love the sun.
The moon was quiet,
Not needing our approval,
Less light, more magic.
She did her own thing,
Alone in the silent night,
Active while we sleep.
Taking turns, they flew,
Traveling the sky together,
Loving each other.

|Modification of effects of radiation on thymidine kinase.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1973443 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Thymidine kinase (TdR-K) and the incorporation of iododeoxyuridine (IUdR) into DNA of murine bone marrow cells are acutely and temporarily inhibited by low doses (0.01 Gy) of whole-body gamma-radiation with a maximal effect at 4 h after exposure and full recovery at 10 h. The inhibitory effect was totally abolished by whole-body exposure to a strong static magnetic field of 1.4T. The present investigation was designed to gain insight into the mechanism(s) underlying the inhibition of TdR-K activity and the incorporation of 125I-UdR by challenging the system with various pharmacological and biochemical means. To this end the response of TdR-K and 125I-UdR incorporation into DNA to the administration of actinomycin-D, cycloheximide, cysteamine, misonidazole and procaine hydrochloride as well as to dietary manipulations, i.e. vitamin E deficiency and enrichment of the diet by soya oil, and to changes in the glutathione levels were investigated in bone marrow cells of irradiated and sham-irradiated mice. Furthermore, the effect of various NaHCO3 concentrations on optimizing the radiation-induced inhibition of TdR-K was investigated under conditions of radiation, vitamin E deficiency and enrichment of the diet by soya oil. The data point to the involvement of the cellular radical-detoxification system in changing the activity of TdR-K, especially on the basis of the concurrent increase of glutathione concentration and decrease in TdR-K activity.

The new facility produces strong, high-performance and conductive carbon nanotube-based products at a record scale for customers such as NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, and several key commercial companies.
Carbon nanotube commercialization resulted in meaningful developments across various industries and drew the interest of the Department of Defense, which has nominated Nanocomp Technologies' materials as 'critical for national defense.' It also attracted the attention of DuPont, who inked a financial and strategic development alliance with Nanocomp Technologies earlier in 2012.
Over the coming year, Nanocomp Technologies plans to expand its employment base by adding more than 50 production, technical, marketing, and sales positions at its technology research center situated in Concord, New Hampshire as well as at its Merrimack headquarters.
With the expansion of production capacity, Nanocomp Technologies' carbon nanotube sheet, wire and tape products can now address a wide variety of application categories as follows:

Derrick 'Little D' Holmon
- Filed Under
Tragedy evokes many responses. Pain, despair, empathy, outrage and helplessness are some of them.
It also can give birth to activism - the determination to make things better.
That's what Jennifer Miller is trying to do. The Port Huron mother is leading a social media campaign to raise public awareness about the dangers hot cars pose to young children.
Police and scores of residents desperately searched a south-side Port Huron neighborhood for a missing child. The child was Derrick "Little D" Holmon.
A 5-year-old with Down syndrome, Derrick climbed into the back of a neighbor's car. When Derrick was discovered later that day, he was dead, a victim of the car's heat.
Miller is Derrick's mother. Now she is working to ensure other children don't meet her son's fate.
"Just from reading about other little children that died the way Little D did, I was thinking if they knew how to beep the horn or turn on the emergency flashers, people might be able to find them," she said.
Miller launched a social media campaign to achieve that goal - and it's aimed at Nicki Minaj.
The popular rap music artist and TV "American Idol" judge co-wrote the hit song "Beez in the Trap" with music producer Maurice Jordan and rapper 2 Chainz. Miller wants Minaj to change its lyrics to "Beep if you're trapped."
Miller wants people to "blast" Minaj's Twitter handle, @NICKIMINAJ, with tweets using the hashtag #operationgetnickiminajtobeepifyouretrappedtopreventchildheatstroke.
"These kids continue to die, and I know there's no surefire way to prevent it, but it's just an idea I had," Miller said.
It's an idea worth pursuing.

Hosts Reysol are coming off a mostly-effortless win over Auckland City on Thursday night, and should return to Toyota Stadium with most of the the same starting lineup. The lone exception is left-back Hiroki Sakai, who sustained a knock to his knee in the middle of the playoff match. Former Celtic player Koki Mizuno, who came on for Sakai after the injury, is likely to start in his place.
Monterrey has struggled this season, placing just 11th in the Mexican Primera Division. Coach Victor Vucetich has called his Japanese opponents "very organized and disciplined," but his side will believe that it can secure the win that would set up a semifinal face-off with Brazilian outfit Santos. The team will be led by captain Luis Perez, who was a member of the Necaxa team that beat Spanish giants Real Madrid in a shootout to win third place in the 2000 edition of the tournament.
- This marks the first Club World Cup appearance for both sides.
- Monterrey took 16 out of 18 possible points in the group stage of the CONCACAF Champions League, going unbeaten in its 12-match campaign.
- The 2011 Club World Cup is Monterrey captain Luis Perez's sixth appearance in a FIFA tournament. His previous appearances include World Cup 2006, the 2005 Confederations Cup, the 2004 Olympic Games, the 2000 Club World Cup, and the 1997 Under-17 World Cup.
- Monterrey's home ground is the Estadio Tecnologico, with a capacity of over 32,000. It is twice as large as Kashiwa Reysol's Hitachi Kashiwa Stadium.
- Kashiwa Reysol midfielder Masakatsu Sawa spent four seasons playing in Peru and was even offered a chance to play for the Peruvian national team, but chose not to relinquish his Japanese citizenship.
- Reysol led the J-League for nearly two-thirds of the season, but needed a win on the last weekend of play to secure its first-ever championship.

|Season of birth, Geschwind and Galaburda hypothesis, and handedness.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21287424 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Geschwind and Galaburda (1985a,1985b) suggested that the season of conception is a non-genetic random variable that may affect laterality and handedness, probably due to seasonal variations in the hormonal influences on the foetal brain. According to this suggestion it is logical to expect seasonal anisotropy in the incidence of birth of right- and non-right-handers. The present study analysed data obtained from a sample of 3182 young Bulgarians: 2825 right-handers and 357 non-right-handers. Significant difference in the seasonal distribution of births of right- and non-right-handers was found in males only. The incidence of non-right-handedness was highest among participants born in winter. In right-handers increased birth rate was observed in spring and summer. The results in males seem to support the Geschwind and Galaburda suggestion. One can speculate that the high levels of mother's androgens during spring and early summer play the role of a "left shift" factor for the male foetuses with genetic potential for non-right-handedness.

I support the modernized bottle bill that is now before the Iowa Senate. It is important to minimize plastic waste ending in landfills in addition to uncontrolled disposal.
Plastic is leaching into waterways and is associated with adverse health effects. As a medical student, I have been informed that the feminization of males due to hormone analogs found in plastics is already a growing concern.
A simple bill such as monetary gain from recycling can have a lasting impact on future generations. It is rare that a simple piece of legislation can have comparable profound long-term benefits. Please do not overlook the diverse benefits to this bill.

Penguins pleased after busy, successful draft
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins said goodbye to one of their Big Three when they traded center Jordan Staal to the Carolina Hurricanes during the first round of the NHL draft Friday.
General manager Ray Shero, however, doesn't expect it will take long to find a replacement.
The Penguins acquired young center Brandon Sutter as part of the deal to ship Staal to Carolina. They also sent defenseman Zbynek Michalek to Phoenix later Friday, creating enough salary cap space to be a player when free agency begins next week.
Throw in a pick-heavy draft that included highly touted defensemen Derrick Pouliot and Olli Maatta, and Shero believes the Penguins are in a great position heading into the summer.

About 20 Army doctors got to present their research and hone their communication skills during the annual Research Day at William Beaumont Army Medical Center.
The doctors, who are all getting specialty training in the residency education programs at Beaumont, presented their findings to their peers on April 30. One occupational therapist from the hospital also participated at the event, which is now in its 28th year.
"The idea is to give these people who worked really hard on these projects an opportunity to share them," said Lola Norton, protocol specialist with the Department of Clinical Investigation at Beaumont.
Doing research is part of the doctors' education they get in the residency programs at the Army hospital, Norton said. Making presentations also allows them to practice their communication skills and "impart their research and present it clearly," Norton said.
Two different types of presentations were made - podium, which is an oral presentation given to the audience, and poster, in which the presenter uses a visual aid, explains it and takes questions.
Army Capt. Dr. Jose A. Serrano, a 33-year-old native of Allentown, Pa., is in the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program. He studied spinal trauma in soldiers who had been through homemade bomb blasts.
Since the Army has improved the armor that protects its vehicles, soldiers are surviving these blasts more frequently but are suffering severe spinal injuries, he said.
"Maybe, I'm being naive, but if enough people see the results of our study, we maybe can use the results to change how we design our up-armored vehicles to prevent these type of injuries," said Serrano, who took second place in the podium competition.
Capt. Dr. Tim Ducey, 28, of Charlotte, N.C., is in the Transitional Intern Program. He studied the use of steroid eye drops and whole-body steroids to treat eye trauma and found a possible link to the development of future cataracts. He took second in the poster competition.
"Research is obviously a very important part of what we do in medicine," Ducey said. "More and more these days, we try to use evidence-based medicine, meaning medicine that is backed up by research, not just what seems to work."
Capt. Dr. Amy Yau, 27, of Mason, Ohio, is in the Internal Medicine Residency Program. She took first in the poster competition.
She found a link between low testosterone and the development of a condition known as gastroparesis, where the stomach doesn't empty. Being able to present research in a clear manner is good preparation for being able to talk to patients, she said.
Podium presentations
1st place - Capt. Dr. David Romano; 2nd place - Capt. Dr. Jose Serrano; 3rd place - Capt. Dr. Matthew Williams.
Poster presentations
1st place - Capt. Dr. Amy Yau; 2nd place - Capt. Dr. Tim Ducey; 3rd place - Capt. Dr. Andrew Cleveland.

Racism and the Image of God
|Publication Date
|November 2010
|Ebook (PDF) Hardcover Ebook (EPUB)
|Palgrave Macmillan
|Black Religion/Womanist Thought/Social Justice
Racism and the Image of God proposes a new direction in Christian thinking about the body. Western Christianity has traditionally taught that the soul or mind best represents God's image in humans; in the United States bodily differences, especially those often labeled "racial," have been used to justify hierarchies of worth. This book argues that bodies deserve respect as part of the image of God. From her perspective as a white feminist theologian, Karen Teel dialogues with five womanist thinkers to develop a Christian theology of the body that can compel Christians, especially U. S. Christians of European descent, to actively resist the sin of racism.

Utah forecast: Cooler temperatures to give way to hotter Friday
Northern Utah can expect a return of warmer temperatures on Friday in the wake of Thursday's cooler weather.
The National Weather Service credited a shallow cold front's stall across the state's mid-section Thursday for isolated thunderstorms and a 10-degree dip into the upper-70s along the Wasatch Front. On Friday, the mercury was to rise again into the upper-80s, cooled somewhat by afternoon breezes in the 10-20 mph range.
Southern Utah remained toasty under partly cloudy skies buffeted by winds of 15-25 mph as temperatures rose into mid-90s both Thursday and Friday.
Indeed, it was so hot and dry in the southwestern corner of the state that a "Red Flag" wildfire warning was in place for that region through 10 p.m. Thursday.
Southeastern Utah's Grand County was experiencing the heat in a different way: a Flood Advisory. Snowmelt was swelling the Colorado River and its tributaries, prompting the NWS to issue the alert, effective through 6 p.m. Thursday.
The Utah Division of Air Quality predicted "green," or healthy breathing conditions statewide on Friday, an improvement in particular for Weber, Washington and Duchesne counties from Thursday's "yellow," or compromised air quality ratings.
The Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website's pollen index was "very high" for grass and oak, "high" for maple and "moderate" for sycamore, mulberry and mold.

Terrazzo Flooring
Terrazzo is a concrete surface with special aggregate of marble chips(or other decorative material) mixed with white or colored cement in proportion of 3:1(three marble chips : one cement).
- The flooring may be laid in different thicknesses. 40mm thick flooring will consist of a 6-8 mm thick layer of terrazzo topping and 34-40 mm thick under layer of cement concrete 1:2:4.
- Prior to laying flooring, the whole area is divided into suitable panels by use of dividing strip (made from copper, brass, aluminium or glass) , in order to reduce the risk of cracking, the area of a panel shall not exceed 2sq m.
- The concrete under layer is then spread, consolidated, leveled and finished to a slightly rough surface .
- When the under layer has harden sufficiently, already prepared plastic terrazzo mixture is laid and compacted thoroughly by tamping or rolling.
- After tamping or rolling, the surface is floated and troweled and left to dry out for 12 to 18 hours.
- After this period the surface is cured under standing water for 2 days.
Types of Terrazzo Flooring
- Portland Cement Terrazzo is a type of flooring using a Portland cement matrix composed of marble or granite chips, Portland cement and water, to which colour pigment may be added.
- Other types of Terrazzo are available, e.g. epoxy matrix terrazzo polyacrylate terrazzo and epoxy bonded.
- Cement:
- Colours:
- Division Strips:
- Sand:
- Marble Chips:
- The cement and marble powder shall be mixed in the proportion of three parts of cement to one part marble powder by weight.
- For every part of cement marble powder mix, the proportion of aggregate by volume shall be according to table:
- Where the aggregate of size larger than 10mm are used then the min. thickness of topping shall not be less than 1-1/2 times the max. size of chips.
- Where large size chips such as 20mm or 25mm are used, they shall be used only with flat shape and bedded on the flat face so as to keep the min. thickness of wearing layer.
- The cement to be used shall be ordinary grey cement, white cement, coloured cement with add mixture of colouring matter of approved quality.
- Colouring materials where specified shall be mixed dry thoroughly with the cement and marble powder and then marble chips added and mixed.
- This mixture shall be stored in a dry place and well covered and protected from moisture.
- The dry mortar shall be mixed with water in the usual way as and when required.
- The mixed mortar shall be homogeneous and stiff and to contain just sufficient water to make it workable.
- The terrazzo topping shall be laid while the under layer is still plastic, but has hardened sufficiently to prevent cement from rising to the surface.
- This is normally achieved between 18 to 24 hrs. after the under layer has been laid.
- A cement slurry preferably of the same colour as the topping shall be brushed on the surface immediately before laying is commenced.
- It shall be laid to a uniform thickness slightly more than that specified in order to get the specified finished thickness after rubbing.
- The surface of the top layer shall be trowelled over, pressed and brought true to required level by a straight edge and steel floats in such a manner that the max. amount of marble chips come up and are spread uniformly over the surface.
- Polishing shall be done by machine. About 36 hrs after laying the top layer, the surface shall be watered and ground evenly with machine, fitted with special rapid cutting grit blocks, (carborundum stone) of coarse grit (no. 60) till the marble chips are evenly exposed and the floor is smooth.
- After the first grinding, the surface shall be thoroughly washed to remove all grinding mud and covered with the grout of cement and colouring matter in the same mix and proportion as the topping in order to any pin holes that appear.
- Where machine polishing is not possible it shall be done by hand.
- The surface shall be allowed to cure for 5 to 7 days and then rubbed with machine fitted with fine grit blocks(no.120).
- The surface is again cured for 3 to 5 days after cleaning and repairing.
- Curing shall be done by suitable means such as laying moist sawdust or ponding water.
- Finally the third grinding shall be done with machine fitted with fine grade grit blocks(no.320), to get even and smooth surface.
- After the final polish oxalic acid shall be dusted over the surface @ 33 grams per sq.meter sprinkled with water and rubbed hard with nemdah block(pad of woolen rags).
- The following day, the floor shall be wiped with a moist rag and dried with a soft cloth and finished clean.
- Length and breadth shall be measured correct to a cm.
- The area as laid shall be calculated in sqm. Correct to two decimal places.
- The thickness of under layer shall be measured correct to a cm.
- The thickness of top layer shall not be less than that specified.
- Terrazzo (marble chips) flooring laid as floor borders ,margins and similar bands up to 30cm width and on staircase treads shall be measured ,but extra shall be paid for such work.
- Dividing strips shall be described stating the materials ,its width and thickness measured in running metres.
- Special surface finishes to treads ,risers and the ends of concrete steps and the like shall be measured separately and given in sqm.
- The rate shall include the cost of all material and labour.
- It shall not include the cost of base concrete and cost of providing and fixing division strips, for making panels, which shall be paid for separately.

Wow! It looks beautiful. When we carried out home renovation, I was not aware of the process of flooring installation, so used to feel a bit irritated because the contractors were not able to complete the work on time. However, they provided me great results and refreshed my mood by adding attractiveness to my place.

|Applicants should obtain a student visa or a training visa (visa status C-3 or D-4). It takes about a week or longer, depending on where you are, to get a 90-day student visa at the Embassy or Consulate office.
After 90 days in Korea, applicants may extend their visa as long as they continue to study at the Korean Language Program. People who enter Korea with a tourist visa cannot extend or change the visa status in the country.
General Short-Term Visa (C-3)
This visa is generally called a tourist visa or a visiting visa. Students who are planning to study at the language institute for only one term (10 weeks) may apply for the C-3 visa. This visa is good for 3 months (90 days) and can be issued immediately upon application at either a Korean Embassy or Consulate office. The carrier of this visa should coordinate his/her length of study in Korea within the effective days of the visa so as to avoid risking visa expiration during the course of study.
General Student Visa (D-4)
Students who are planning to study for more than one term should apply for the D-4 visa. This visa is usually good for 6 months at a time and can be renewed within Korea. Since this visa takes approximately 1 month to process upon application at either a Korean Embassy or Consulate office, students should apply for this visa at least 2 months before leaving for Korea.
D-4 Visa Application Procedure for Chinese Students
Chinese Students normally apply for a six month D-4 visa as the 90 day C-3 visa is often rejected. Chinese students will need to come to the school administrative office to submit the required documents to the school administration and the school will issue a letter of admission after document screening process. The sponsor or guardian providing the letter of Sponsorship must come to a Korean Immigration Office with the necessary documents including an admissions letter (adademic documents, financial documents etc) to apply for a recognitition of visa issuance. It normally takes 3-4 weeks from application to visa issuance for the Immigration office to review the documents and issue the recognition of visa issuance.

Well I've done it, I've actually joined a slimming world group with my mum a couple of days ago. I have done SW before but red and green days. I managed to lose over 3st and this time I'm hoping for 4.5st!
I had a baby boy (Freddie) in May and weighed 17.5st. On Monday I weighed in at 14st 1lb, which is 7lb lighter than when I fell pregnant!! But it's still way too heavy for my petite 5' 2" frame.
So far so good. I'm really enjoying being on a "diet" and not feeling deprived. I love filling my plate with salad to go with my free food.
Today's menu:
2 x weetabix
Muller light
Rocky road hifi bar
Half a pasta n sauce
Ww Cumberland sausages
Onion gravy
Smash (tastes so much better than I remember?!)
Green beans
Choc mousse
Chopped strawbs
Loved my days food!! So delicious!
I usually weigh myself everyday but I want something to look forward to so I'm avoiding the scales and want to wait until Monday.
I'm also seeing this as a long journey. I usually hope for massive losses each week and become despondent, but I'm just viewing this as a new way of eating with the added benefit of hopefully losing weight. So anything will be great because I know it will all add up in the end.

The party for the St. Louis duo's new album, "Projection Room," was by night's end a forceful endorsement of the local music scene in the form of a packed house and a myriad of eclectic sounds.
Off Broadway played host to a crowd that seemed to grow with every passing song. As fans danced and jostled, the band seemed to feed off of the energy and the party atmosphere that was created.
Supporting Sleepy Kitty were two local acts Armadillo and Bug Chaser, who got the evening off to a raucous start. Chicago's Bailiff - a band touted by Sult - contributed some soulful pop.
Sleepy Kitty riffed the night to a close with a suite of in-your-face rock tunes.

She has also played a major role in coaching top individual selections at the championships, including former reining riders Julie Gibbs (2008), Paige Monfore (2009), Lyndsey Jordan (2010) and Indy Roper (2010) in Horsemanship. Under Dorsey's leadership, in 2012 Stephanie Rucci took home the Most Outstanding Player award for reining, marking the second-consecutive year Auburn won the honor after Monfore took home the MVP title in 2011.
All-American honors were awarded to the riders for the first time by the NCEA in 2011, and Roper was the only rider in the country to receive first-team honors in both Western horsemanship and reining under Dorsey's direction. In 2012 Dorsey helped Roper to her second-consecutive reining All-American honor, as well as an honorable mention in horsemanship. She also coached Cheyenne Cracraft to an honorable mention honor in reining in 2012. In 2013, Roper was again a first team all-American in reining and Stephanie Rucci received 2nd team honors in horsemanship.
Dorsey has also seen her riders compete at the NRHA Collegiate Reining Championships (limited to the top 4 NCEA reiners in the country) every year since she began coaching at Auburn. Lyndsey Jordan competed in the event from 2008-10, winning the competition in 2009. In 2011, Dorsey coached both Paige Monfore and Kristin Hansen, and in 2012, Roper and Stephanie Rucci competed for Auburn in the event with Rucci finishing third overall. In 2013 Roper earned another trip to the Derby.
Dorsey has been working with and around horses for over 29 years. She graduated from the University of Findlay in 1998 with a B.S. in Western Equestrian Studies and a minor in Business Management and then completed her master's degree at Auburn in 2012 in adult education and sport management at Auburn University.
While at Findlay, Dorsey competed for the Western IHSA team as both an open horsemanship and reining rider. After graduation she went on to train and coach both youth and amateur riders. Dorsey has shown extensively in AQHA, NSBA, open and 4-H events, specializing in all-around competition. She has earned year-end awards in both the Ohio and Northern Ohio Quarter Horse Associations in Showmanship, Horsemanship and Equitation classes. She has also competed as an amateur and been a finalist at the All-American Quarter Horse Congress.
Dorsey has judged both open and 4-H competitions, and also spent five years as a
reproduction specialist managing some of the top reproduction facilities in Ohio and Florida.
Before arriving at Auburn, Dorsey worked at Miami University of Ohio where she was an
instructor in the Department of Kinesiology and Health and the coach of the Western IHSA equestrian team. During her two years as western coach she led the team to two regional championships, a zone reserve championship, a trip to the national semi-finals and a top-ten finish at the IHSA Nationals. She also coached the regional high point western rider consecutive years.
Away from the equestrian field, Helfer has played competitive ice hockey for over 30 years. She has traveled throughout the USA, Canada and Finland playing on both women's and co-ed teams. Dorsey (formally Helfer) married her husband Chris on May 25, 2013, and the couple resides in Opelika, Ala.

Adjusting Fire: An exhibitor with Finnish firearm manufacturer Sako gives a demonstration of the TRG M10 sniper rifle system to Indian Army officials during Defexpo 2014 in New Delhi on Feb. 6. Overseas defense companies are seeking more joint ventures with domestic firms. (Prakash Singh/AFP/Getty Images)
- Filed Under
NEW DELHI — Overseas defense companies have shifted gears in the wake of Indias decision last year to steer military contracts to domestic companies when possible, executives and experts said at last weeks Defexpo exhibition.
The new name of the game: joint ventures between overseas companies and Indian firms.
Yet while joint ventures offer an avenue for defense deals, many overseas and Indian executives said India must increase the level of foreign domestic investment (FDI) from its current limit of 26 percent.
K.V. Kuber, CEO of New Delhi-based Sugosha Consulting, said no core technologies would flow to India unless the FDI limit is increased.
Global cooperation is the norm in a global village, Kuber said. No country in the world can make everything in house. FDI must be increased, from the current levels to 74 percent or more with adequate checks and balances. I believe that the government is not increasing the current FDI limit due to lack of effective checks and balances and an accountable implementation mechanism, which leads to a lack of trust. This can be overcome by incorporating an effective oversight mechanism.
India changed its procurement rules in June after the adoption of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, which defense analysts feared could lead to strict overseas oversight on Indias system for importing weapons.
While the new procurement rules are tilted toward state-run defense companies, private Indian companies are aggressively competing for programs by partnering with overseas firms.
This years Defexpo was focused on showcasing indigenous talent. Among the highlights were displays by several medium, small and micro defense companies, said Gokul Pati, Indias permanent secretary for defense production.
Yet overseas firms are quickly reworking their strategies to tap Indias defense market, managers said.
Our business strategy in India revolves around the building up of an extensive network of local business partners, both in the public and private sectors including [small and medium-size enterprises], said Loic Piedevache, country manager for French missile-maker MBDA.
Added Kim Kwan-see, global director for South Koreas LIG Nex1: We want to work in India as production partners and not merely as sellers.
Kim disclosed that his company has partnered with state-owned Bharat Dynamics Limited and Ordnance Factories Board to co-produce precision-guided missiles and anti-ship missile programs.
Israel Aircraft Industries and Rafael have tied up with Indias Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to co-produce a $2 billion medium-range surface-to-air missile program.
India is a strategic market for Rafael, said Rafaels President and CEO Yedidia Yaari. We are constantly seeking new partnerships and joint ventures with Indian companies for cooperation that will help drive forward our mutual ability to address local needs and operational requirements. We are engaged in joint ventures and partnerships with local Indian industries and are in constant search to expand our activities in the country, in cooperation with the DRDO, in order to better address local needs and requirements.
BAE Systems, which has already transferred a license to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited to produce the Hawk trainer, is also exploring partnerships with domestic companies, especially for artillery projects.
We will continue to explore partnerships with a cross-section of public and private sector companies; the forms may vary based on the goals of the collaboration, said John Brosnan, managing director for Southeast Asia and India for BAE. As such the preference for [buying Indian] further expands the potential for us to share technology and co-develop and co-produce with domestic industry.
The procurement changes have largely been welcomed by the domestic defense companies. However, most of the projects have not taken off yet, said Rajinder Bhatia, CEO of Bharat Forge.
Madhukar Vinayak Kotwal, president of the Heavy Engineering division of Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T), said doing defense business in India is a huge challenge because defense tendering is based on the lowest bidder and not based on the technologically superior bidder.
Kotwal further noted that L&T has the capability to build any weapon and platform in India, yet there are no long-term programs in the defense sector.
While the overseas defense companies are adjusting their strategies, analysts say domestic firms wont receive any real benefits until the FDI limit is increased to 49 percent. Such a move will help forge major joint ventures on an equity sharing basis, they said.
We accept the decisions of the Indian government in this respect. Is it working well? That is for the Indian government to answer, to decide whether or not the current level is helping the indigenous defense industry to advance as well as desired, said MBDAs Piedevache. Of course a higher level of FDI would make investing in India a much more attractive proposition as it would provide greater control of the investment involved.
Peter Gutsmiedl, senior vice president for Airbus Defense & Space India, said: We respect the Indian governments stand but we believe that should this cap be raised, it will be easier for us to develop a larger industrial base here and transfer even more cutting-edge technologies. This will secure the self-reliance of Indias armed forces without compromising national security and will also benefit the Indian economy.
A senior executive with domestic Mahindra defense systems said his firm would support raising the FDI to 9 percent. It will allow a re-look at whether technologies can come in with the enhanced FDI, because the present 26 percent is not facilitating this.
However, Shyam Kumar Singh, vice president of Mumbai-based Elcome Integrated Systems, wants only a hand-holding role by the overseas partners.
FDI will lead to formation of [joint ventures] and investment of funds. However, higher percentages of FDI will also attract larger portions of the technology being implemented by the foreign firms themselves rather than the technology being imbibed by Indian partners. In the long run, the dependency will remain on foreign partners, which is not desirable.

Although the Wells Fargo Advantage Money Market Funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.
Stock fund values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond fund values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond fund values fall and investors may lose principal value. Some funds, including nondiversified funds and funds investing in foreign investments, high-yield bonds, small and mid cap stocks, and/or more volatile segments of the economy, entail additional risk and may not be appropriate for all investors. Consult a Fund's prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.
