Women should get something in writing before going to work in the interior, says the women miners association
The Guyana Women's Miners Association (GWMA) is advocating that women insist on something in writing before proceeding to work in the interior as too many of them are robbed by unscrupulous employers and most times they are unable to seek redress through the Ministry of Labour.
"I am saying to them [women], to protect themselves and to make it easier for the Ministry of Labour to act is to get a contract, something in black white so you can keep because when they deny you work with them there is not much the Ministry of Labour could do," head of the organisation Simona Broomes told the Sunday Stabroek in a recent interview.
Addressing a large number of women who turned up for a meeting at the Sea Breeze Hotel as the association plans for its first anniversary celebration later this month, Broomes told her members that none of the women who approached the association because of non-payment and who were sent to Labour have not received their money.
She later told the Sunday Stabroek that in many cases employers deny that the women work with them or argue that the women may not have worked with them for the length of time they claim or dispute the figure the women were expecting to be paid.
She went on to say that the association has seen nine cases of women who were not paid, all of whom were referred to the Ministry of Labour but none of whom had received their money. She said Labour can obtain the necessary information about an employer from the Guyana Geology & Mines Commission (GGMC) and contact should be made with the employer in an effort to get them to pay.
She related to her members the recent case of a woman who was forced to leave employment because she became very sick, ending up in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. It was on Old Year's Day that she approached her former employer for payment and instead of giving the woman some money he chased her away and told her she had no money to get and was not to return.
Broomes said cases like those remain with her, and when the women do not get assistance from Labour she is forced to get personally involved.
One case in which she became personally involved was that of Vanessa Stephens, who was removed from the mining camp by police after her employer accused her of stealing early last year.
Stephens, who is now a member of the GWMA and attended last week's meeting, told the Sunday Stabroek that she worked with a woman for three months as a cook and also helped out in the shop. She said after some time the woman left the camp for two weeks and headed to the city. On her return she claimed that she had lost a number of items and called in the police to remove Stephens from the camp. The woman said the police searched her and found nothing, in addition to which she had no money, and when the police asked her employer to give her some money she responded that she had none, so Stephens was forced to find her own way out of the backdam.
Stephens said she visited the office of the GGMC and later contacted Broomes, and it was she who contacted the woman. Two weeks later she got most of her money for which she is grateful. The woman said when she visited the Ministry of Labour she was asked a number of questions, including whether she was making payments to the National Insurance Scheme (NIS), but after she left the office she was never contacted by any official.
"I think the organisation is really helping women right now," she said, adding that she would continue to work in the interior because she is trying to build her home and she can make more money there.
Broomes told her members that they now have each other and they must work together to make their working environment better.
Meantime, Broomes once again bemoaned the fact that the relevant authorities – more especially the Ministry of Human Services & Social Security – are resisting partnering with the organisation to combat the ills of the interior, including trafficking in persons and child labour. She said the organisation wants to work with the relevant stakeholders, and it was sad "to see them dragging their feet and turning a blind eye to situations, and we are not coming together by action to battle the issues."
The GWMA President pointed out that the Human Service Minister has funding to organize trips and go into areas to make interventions, and she is of the opinion when this is being done they should collaborate with the GWMA as many of the latter's members know the interior better than the ministry officials.
"But we are not involved," she said, adding that she was part of the ministry's Trafficking in Persons workshop held late last year and she had met one of the junior officials who had promised to build a relationship with the organisation. According to Broomes, however, he does not have much authority, and they need to go beyond that as they want to work in the mining sector with the ministry's support.
She once again raised the case of the little boy whom she found working in a mining pit in the Puruni area late last year, revealing the child's mother has since moved from the area with him, but there had been no intervention by the state and as far as she knows the woman may just have relocated to anther backdam and the child would continue to work under hazardous conditions and not attend school.
"What we need to see is prosecution," Broomes said, while calling for organizations including the police to come together and go into various areas, visit the backdams and shops and conduct raids.
And she hopes that for the new year the GGMC will move to have shops located only at landing areas, "rather than just have people throw up shops anywhere and then have little girls working for them [because]… the further they have these shops in the back dam is the more they would push the little girls." Restricting them to the landings would make it easier for them to be monitored.
She said the association is frustrated that they are unable to visit all the areas from where they receive calls about problems, and she hopes that the authorities with the resources would this year work with them to help those in need.
And sometimes it is not just the lack of finances that prevents them from responding, but also the need for the police to accompany them because they cannot arrest anyone. She said the little man is not getting the authorities to act, but in the case of bigger companies with money the officials are at their beck and call.
A Port Kaituma resident, Stephanie Miguel, who is a member of the association, told the women that she joined the GWMA because of the many social ills in her community, and she hopes together they can work for improvement in all interior locations. She listed issues such as teenage pregnancy, child molestation and labour exploitation as some of the problems plaguing her community.
She mentioned the case of a 12-year-old being impregnated by a well-known businessman and nothing coming out of the case, and a stepfather who allegedly abused a little boy and is "free on the road." The child, she said, was removed from the home by state officials and is now a ward of the state.
The woman also said that there are many Amerindian men who are not paid after working, and sometimes have nowhere to seek redress. The mother of six believes that together the women in the organisation can make a difference. She said when she was a miner she had lost her claim because she had no money, and that if the organisation had been in existence she may have been able to get help.
"So I see this organisation now as a stronghold, so that is the reason why I leave my business just to come here and meet with the women and know what it is all about," she said.

Over half of UK shoppers remain loyal to their favourite websites despite lower costs elsewhere
London UK, 11 December 2012: The majority (57%) of online shoppers in the UK prefer to shop from a handful of their favourite websites rather than shopping around for the best price, according to research from e-commerce and digital marketing solutions provider EPiServer.
The report, which surveyed 1,000 UK consumers, also revealed that over a third have increased the amount of online shopping they do in the last year, and almost half (44%) have made purchases using a mobile device in the last six months. This is compared to 94% of UK consumers that have shopped on the high street during the same timeframe. It's therefore vital for retailers to offer the best possible experience, on every device, to capitalise on the hard-earned loyalty this Christmas.
The research suggests that clothes and shoes are the most frequent online purchases (46%), closely followed by CDs/DVDs/video games (45%), and books/stationery (37%).
David Bowen, Product Manager, EPiServer, commented, "The digital high street continues to boom, but our research goes to show that the ease of online shopping has not killed brand loyalty and a positive customer experience is still more important to UK shoppers than price. Retailers shouldn't just be trying to compete on price; instead they ought to concentrate on delivering the best possible online experience to keep customers spending. Unfortunately our report also showed that many online retailers are actually still letting customers down in many areas, and they will be missing out on market share as a result."
EPiServer's research also found that consumers are increasingly vocal online. One third (33%) of online shoppers have contacted a retailer through social media at least once in the last six months with a problem, query or complaint. Similarly, 35% have published or commented on a recent online purchase on social media.
Bowen added, "The rise of social media brings both challenges and opportunities for retailers; many businesses remain hesitant to engage with social media but, the fact is, consumers are using it regardless. There is nowhere to hide online, so a great customer experience is championed widely whilst poor service can spread like wildfire."
The full EPiServer report, entitled Benchmarking the Digital High Street: UK Ecommerce Performance Index 2012 is available for free download from www.episerver.com/ecommerce2012 and includes practical advice and real-world examples to highlight simple measures where retailers could improve the user experience.

When you want to build something , regardless of whether it is a house or a building , you must prepare the ground first. Cleaning the terrain is hard work and it should be done well in order to proceed with further work. Clearing needs may be different depending on the type of terrain. Sometimes it is even necessary demolition of an object and its clearing after that.
Many areas that need to be clear are covered with bushes or trees stumps whose removal is necessary. Unfortunately , there are more surfaces that have to be cleaned from waste and trash. Usually land for residential or commercial property are cleaned. A lot of things need to be cleared around the approach and main roads. Land clearing is a complex and difficult job that serves as preparation for the execution of various works.
The aim of mechanical site preparation is to be carried out clearance of large areas in the best and quickest way. Thus saving the time and costs. Land clearing is done to make way for highways and utility corridors. Also large areas are cleaned of agricultural debris in order to prepare ground for the next planting. This land clearing is used in the forestry, too, where cleaning of branches and leaves can not be done by incineration in order to avoid the appearance of the fire. Besides burning releases thick smoke that is harmful for the environment causing much air pollution.
Site work is part of a project that is not part of some houses or buildings. It usually includes some other works such as the excavation, digging septic tanks and filtration systems. It also includes driveways workong, pavements and other utilities.
When you make a house, building or any other project you arrange the space around it as everything would look nicer and neater. Also you should do asphalting driveways , sometimes small , sometimes large areas depending of need.
Hydroseeding is often used for decoration and covering land. This job is done by trained experts. Hydroseed Experts will do this kind of work on professional way. They take care of the land , the climate and weather so planting can be done well, as about many other things. Hydroseeding is a special process of planting. It ends in a relatively short period of time and gives good results.This planting is an effective way for the hills to help better erosion control and quicker planting. The results are usually good with a high rate of germination.
It tipicaly consists of applying a mixure of seed, wood fiber, fertilizer and emulsion with hydro mulch equipment which temporarily protect exposed soils from erosion by water and wind. It is also applied to the land that require temporary protection to permanent vegetation. This planting is also a good way to cover the park with grass resulting in a beautiful, green area for a short time.
Hydroseeding is good for areas which are destroyed with fire in order to restore vegetation as soon as it is possible. In such cases, when it is about large of areas the plane can be used for that work. So, modern technology and modern approach today facilitate planting on any land.

Tickets | Watch Live | Listen Live | GameTracker | Notes
HOUSTON, Texas - Rice University men's basketball returns home for a two-game homestand beginning with local rival Houston on Wednesday night. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at Tudor Fieldhouse
The Owls (4-15, 0-5 C-USA) received several outstanding individual performances on their recent two-game conference road trip, highlighted by Seth Gearhart and Max Guercy.
Gearhart erupted for 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting at Tulane. Additionally, the sophomore notched seven rebounds and two assists while sinking 4-of-6 three-pointers.
Guercy earned his second Conference USA Freshman of the Week nod after averaging 6.0 assists per game to accompany 10.5 points on the road. In 39 minutes at Tulane, the guard passed out six assists without a single turnover.
Among the promotions for Wednesday's game are Faculty and Staff Appreciation Night and the Owl Club Garage Sale.
From 6-7 p.m. in The Roost, game-worn uniforms from all Rice Athletics teams will be on sale to support the Owl Club and future student-athletes.
Rice faculty and staff are also invited to enjoy two free tickets and a tailgate (with vouchers available at the Housing and Dining office) prior to the 7 p.m. tipoff. The tailgate opens at 5 p.m. near the Tudor Fieldhouse main entrance with food and drinks and will also feature a chance to win a $500 airline ticket.
Scouting the Cougars (13-6, 2-4)
Houston snapped a four-game Conference USA skid on Saturday with a 66-61 win over visiting UAB.
Three players average double-figure points for the Cougars, led by Joseph Young's 16.8 scoring average. TaShawn Thomas adds 15.8 points per game and Danuel House notches an average of 13.4.
Houston is 3-3 on the road with all three wins coming in non-conference play. The Cougars haul in a conference-leading 39.8 rebounds per game, led by Thomas' 9.9 per game, which ranks the sophomore second in C-USA.
Houston averages 6.3 three-pointers per game with 36.3 percent accuracy. Its 76.9 scoring average is the best in the league.
Series History
Houston holds a 58-17 advantage in the series, though Rice has won three of the last four meetings, including a sweep in 2010-11 and a road win last season.
Tamir Jackson has faced the Cougars six times in his career with a 12.3 scoring average and 4.7 assists per game. He has notched five or more assists in each of his last four games against Houston. In six games, he shoots 45.5 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from downtown.
Julian DeBose played in both meetings last season, sinking 6-of-8 shots for a 7.0 scoring average. He added 1.0 rebounds and an assist. Gearhart faced the Cougars once last year and tallied an assist.
With the exception of Rice's 72-57 win on March 5, 2011, four of the last five meetings have been decided by single digits.
C-USA Accolades
Guercy earned Conference USA Freshman of the Week honors on Jan. 7 after scoring 19 points and dishing out five assists at Harvard two days earlier. He repeated the honor earlier this week on Jan. 28 after averaging 6.0 assists on the week at UCF and Tulane.
In those two road games, he averaged 10.5 points per game and dished out 6.0 assists with just two total turnovers for the Owls.
Looking ahead, Rice hosts East Carolina on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the teams' only regular season meeting.

Sentai is also learning from ADVs mistakes. Also, I think is Geneon came back, they would do better now. Times have changed and I think companies are paying less for anime licenses. This was why I was sort of hoping that Bandai just split from their Japanese parent company and do their own thing. I think when Japanese companies come into our market, they don't know what the hell they're doing and don't know how to handle the US market, and don't understand why prices are cheap. Our prices are cheap to complete with other DVD/BD releases on the market.
Yes, they got Braden to do Hakkai, he was the original VA for the role. He didn't voice much for ADV in the first place. He had a few roles. not sure why the dub took forever, they might've had to track the man down

|Awesome news. This was Geneon old acquisition. I thought that Funimation had rescued this series a little while back. Also very pleased about part 2 of Mardock Scramble. Hopefully there will be a complete release instead of the 2 versions that came out previously. Definitely will be picking that up. Though I have considered picking up FS/N. Had wanted to some years ago but kind of debated it. Though I did like what I see and I do enjoy Type-Moon's work.

FUNimation did "rescue" the show from Geneon at the time but they didn't renew their license for the show and the Fate/Stay Night license reverted back to TBS and Geneon Universal Japan year ago. Unlike FUNimation Sentai Filmworks cannot rescue old Geneon titles. They had to buy the license directly from the Japanese production committee (or the one in charge on their behalf).
Anyway, I hope Sentai will be using the 720p version of the show for the Blu-ray and not some cheap upscale of the old SD master.

This car was made by the Phillips Motor Car Corporation, at their factory in Pompano Beach, Florida. This is not a kit car. The inspiration came from the 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540k. The company announced in 1979 than no more than 500 Berlina cars will be manufactured. Fewer than 90 were built between 1980-1981. The cars all started with a 5.7 liter 350 V-8 Chevy Corvettes engines, which had their frames stretched 22" and their bodies replaced with the styled Berlina Coupe body. In the 80's, they cost around $80,000 new.

Aug. 21, 1956 WEN YUAN PAN ETAL 2,760,061 SIGNAL C(iNVERTEJR CIRCUIT Filed NOV. 22, 1952 10w PASS F/LTER Vl/F T :1 PASSES u. AA/D A/WZW/VA SIP/5 RESONA/V 70 RE cur: OFFLQAA/DRA' INVENTOR.
WEN YUAN PAN an HAREI'LD M. INAESEIN ATTOIRNEY plied to the mixer element through a portion of the series resonant arm of the pi filter. The cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter is then made snbstan-ti-ally lower in frequency than either the signal to be converted or the local oscillator, yet above the desired resultant beat or heterodyne signal.
The present invention further involves the connection of the pi filter output terminals with a lattice network having moderate Q resonant arms tuned to the desired beat or heterodyne frequency. The single ended output of the pi filter is then connected across one set of arms of the lattice network whereby to provide in the remaining two arms of the lattice network balanced ci-rcuit terminals suitable for connecting to balanced transmission lines.
'A more complete understanding of the present invention as well as a better appreciation of its objects and features of advantage in addition to those set forth above be obtained through a reading of the following specification, especially when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which the single figure is a schematic representation of one form of converter circuit embodying the present invention.
Turning now to the single figure, there is shown at a transmission line adapted to feed ultrahigh frequency (U. H. F.) carrier waves to a tunable radio frequency (R. F.) signal selector circuit 12 which includes an inductor 14 and a capacitor 16. A similar tunable R. F. signal selector circuit 18 including an inductor 20 and capacitor 22 is coupled to the selective circuit 12 by means of mutual inductance existingbetween the inductors 14 and 20.
The selective circuits 12 and 18 are further coupled together by means of the coupling capacitor 24. An electrostatic shield indicated by the dotted line 26 is disposed between the inductors 14 and 20 so that the only significant capacitive coupling between the two circuits is provided by the capacitor 24. Selected incoming U. H. F. signal will, therefore, appear between the low impedance tap 28 on inductor 20 and the circuit ground potential terminal at 30.
A non-linear signal mixing or combining means is illustrated and connected with the tap 28 of the selective circuit 18. -By Way of example, this mixing circuit has been shown as including a diode 32 one of whose terminals is connected to the low impedance tap 28 on the inductor 20. The other terminal 36 of the diode 32 is connected through an inductive lead 38 to the output terminal 40 of some form of oscillator circuit 42. The
dotted line area 42 may also indicate a metallic shield for the oscillator components within the area. Grounding of the shield 44 improves the effectiveness of the shield in reducing undesired radiation of oscillator energy. The connective lead 38 extending between the diode terminal 36 and the oscillator. putput terminal 40 may, in the practice of the present invention, be nothing more than a straight piece of wire. However, the dotted line inductance designation surrounding the lead 38 is presented to indicate that the inductance of this lead plays an important part in the practice of the present invention.
The type of oscillator circuit employed in the practice of the present invention is not important. The one shown in the single figure being merely illustrative of one type of oscillator circuit finding convenient application .to the particular mixer circuit shown. By way of example, the oscillator 42 is shown comprising an electron discharge tube 46 connected in a modified Colpits oscillator circuit. A series tuned circuit comprising the inductor 48 and capacitance 50 is connected between the control electrode 52 and circuit ground for determining the operating frequency of the oscillator. The well known split capacitances of a Colpits oscillator are defined between the control electrodes 52 and the cathode 54 as well as between the anode 56 and cathode 54. Capacitors 58 and 60 maintain the anode 56 at a very low impedance level with respect to chassis ground thereby tending to reduce oscillator radiation through the power supply line 61. Filter elements 62 and 64 further attenuate oscillator radiation via the B power supply system. B power for the operation of the oscillator may be applied to terminal 66 while heater potential for the electron tube 46 is applied to terminal 68 and 70. Chokes 72 and 74 acting in cooperation with capacitors 76 and 78 attenuate radiation of oscillator energy over the heater supply lines. Novel features and advantages of the particular form of oscillator shown are disclosed and claimed in the copending United States Patent application, Serial No. 321,668, filed November 20, 1952, Patent No. 2,728,853 granted December 27, 1955, entitled Oscillator Circuits by Wen Yuan Pan and H. M. Wesson.
In accordance with the present invention, a capacitor 80 is connected from the oscillator output terminal 40 to ground potential. The value of the capacitor 80 is such that it forms a series resonant circuit in conjunction with the inductance of lead 38at approximately the mid range of those frequencies over which the selective circuits 12 and 18 can be tuned. By way of example, in the application of the present invention to ultrahigh frequency tele vision band conversion, the series resonant frequency of lead 38 and capacitor 80 may be established at 700 me. This series resonance assures that the load impedance into which the diode 32 is operating is-at a at this frequency. As discussed above conversion efiiciency of a crystal diode employed as shown in the figure is greatly enhanced if the load impedance at the frequency being converted is at a In further accordance with the present invention, the capacitor 80 forms the input capacitor of a modified constantK p-type low-pass filter including inductor 82 and capacitor 84. The choke 86 forms the necessary D.-C. path for the diode mixer element 32. The low-pass filter comprising elements 80, 82 and 84 is, in accordance with the present invention, provided with a cutofi frequency which is below the operating frequency of the oscillator frequency 42 or any frequency passed by the selective circuits 12 and 18.
In accordance with the present invention, the characteristic impedance of the low-pass filter circuit is assigned a value approximating the operating impedance of the diode element 32 in the frequency range at which it is operating.
In the application of the present invention in U. H. F. to V. H. F. television signal conversion systems, the lowpass filter may be conveniently assigned a cu-tofi frequency of me. It will be recognized that this will permit the V. H. F. televisions channels 2 through 6 (54 me. to 82 mc.) to be employed as output signal frequencies for the converter circuit. The particular channel 2 through 6 that is selected for use will, of course, depend upon the frequency of the oscillator 42 which, of course, is determined by adjusting the capacitor 50 thereof.
It is further a novel feature of the present invention that the inductance of the lead 38, although playing an important role in establishing a low impedance series resonant circuit load for the diode 32 at the mid range of frequencies passed by .the selective input circuits, also provides negligible impedance at the frequency to which input signals are being converted. Thus, at 140 me. or below, the inductance of the lead 38 will have virtually no effect on the characteristics of the low-pass filter.
The present invention thus far described results in a signal converter circuit having a single ended output whose output terminal may be thought of as established at terminal 88. The low-pass filter will not only prevent converter local oscillator signals from passing through to the output terminal 88, but will also prevent harmonics of the V. H. F. television receiver to which terminal 88 may be connected from producing spurious heterodyne components in the mixer circuit.
If the receiver with which the converter circuit thus arsen far described is tobe usedhas asingle. ended .or unbalanced type of input circuitacoaxial cable or other suitable signal conveying means may be connected between the terminal 88- and ground potential for conveying the output of the converter to the receiver. If, however, the converter circuit thus-far described-is to be used in connection withcommercial home type V. F. televisionequipments, the majority of which are: provided with balanced types of input cinouits, someconvenient means must be employed for converting the single; ended converter output circuit defined. by terminal (and chassis ground) to a balanced output arrangement.
In accordance with the present invention, a novel unvalanced to balanced transformation arrangement is provided by the inductor 90, capacitor 92, inductor 94 and capacitor 96 connected in a lattice or bridge formation.
In accordance with the present invention, the values of the inductors 90 and 94 and capacitors 92 and 96 are chosen such that the /XLXc is equal to the nominal impedance of the low-pass filter previously described. Here XL is the inductive reactance and X is the capacitance reactance of elements comprising the lattice at the center frequency of the desired pass-band of the lattice network. In the application of the present invention in U. H. F. to V. H. F. television signal conversion, it is convenient to design the lattice network to meet the above conditions at a center frequency of approximately 72 mc. This corresponds to the Government allocated V. H. F. television channel 4. By connecting the output terminal 88 of the converter circuit to the junction of inductor 90 and capacitor 96 and by grounding the junction of inductor 94 with capacitor 92, a balanced transmission line may be connected to the terminals 106 and 108 of the lattice network. The switch also conditionally connects the V. H. F. receiver to either a V. H. F. antenna applied to the terminals 114 of the switch or the balanced output terminals of the lattice network.
In the application of the present invention to a signal conversion unit for use in converting U. H. F. television channels to signals falling in the lower V. H. F. television channels 2 through 6, it is further contemplated in accordance with the present invention that the nonlinear mixing element 32 will be selected so as to display nominal impedance of approximately 300 ohms. Such a mixer element is found in the commercially available CK-7 10 crystal rectifier which displays an impedance of approximately 300 ohms under optimum oscillator excitation. This permits the low-pass filter comprising elements 80, 82 and 84 to be designed around a nominal impedance of 300 ohms and with a cutoff frequency of 140 me. or so. The lattice network comprising elements 90, 92, 94 and 96 may then be designed as indicated above to express a terminal impedance of approximately 300 ohms in the V. H. F. channeljl frequency (66 me. to 72 mc.). Under such conditions the balanced output terminal impedance expressed at terminals 106 and 108 will be 300 ohms and will provide a proper impedance match to a standard 300 ohm balanced transmission line, such as is found in common home television use. With such an arrangement it has been found that a standing wave ratio of l for channel 4 will be realized, a standing wave ratio of 1.5 for channels 3 and 5, and a standing wave ratio of 2 for channels 2 and 6.
It can therefore be seen that in accordance with the present invention there may be provided a novel, inexpensive and highly efiicient signal frequency converting systm of general application in the signal communications art and finding particular utility in connection with television U. H. F. to V. H. F. signal conversion.
