I'm confused! Isn't Do Nation about sponsorship through actions, not cash?
Ah, you know us well!
Our business programmes and our sponsorship through actions, not cash are two sides of the same coin. You can see more about how it all works here.
Do you save my contact details?
Yes, but we keep them nice and safe, naturally.
And we don't share them with any third parties. Check out our privacy policy.
Is climate change really happening?
With 96% of climatologists believing that mean global temperatures are rising, I think we can safely say that there is a scientific consensus on the matter.
And we're beginning to see it with our own eyes – we can't escape the photos of melting ice caps, catastrophic floods, bush fires, droughts, and hurricanes. They're happening more and more often, and nearer and nearer to home.
Is climate change really caused by us?
Our first answer to this is that contrary to popular belief, the scientists rarely dispute the answer: 97% of climatologists believe that human activity is a significant contributing factor to climate change. Sure, it might not be the only factor, but it's the one that we can control. Our second answer involves a touch of high school science and a dose of intuition:
Over the past 300,000,000 years plants have been using the sun's energy to trap carbon from the atmosphere and turn it into plant tissue.
In turn, these plants die, rot, and gradually (over millennia of geological processing) this carbon is locked tightly away as fossil fuels deep under the Earth's surface.
In the course of a single generation we are likely to have exploited and burnt almost the entirety of these fossil fuel reserves. 300,000,000 years of natural investment, squandered in a mere 100 years.
Surely that's got to have an impact on nature's finely balanced systems? So let's ask that question again: are humans causing climate change? Intuition tells me there's a pretty good chance we are…
This isn't the place to go into it – but you can read more on the debate through the Energy Saving Trust or Skeptical Science.
How do you calculate the carbon savings?
With the help of ERM. For each Do Action there are a few short questions that allow us to calculate the difference between the carbon used by the existing and pledged behaviours. Clearly there are a few (very sound) assumptions involved, and the numbers are more indicative of scale of impact than anything else.
It's not designed to give you a robust and all-encompassing carbon footprint report, just an indication of the impact each Do Action could have. We used national averages where appropriate and made a few other reasonable assumptions to help make the pledging process as straightforward as possible. Some of these are:
• People do the Do Actions over the full two months (this gets adjusted when they return to confirm how they got on)
• When single pledge actions have a long-term impact, their savings are calculated for the most appropriate period (e.g. three years' worth of savings from Soak in the sun, Sun power, and Clean your bills are counted).
• An emission factor of 0.4836 CO2 per kWh of grid electricity (Defra conversion factors 2013) is used.
• A fuel price conversion factor of 0.16 £/kWh of electricity (Act on CO2 July 2009) was used.
• The average household has 2.34 occupants.
Why just CO2?
CO2 is the currency of Do Nation, not the soul.
We believe in a lot more than just carbon, and are strong advocates of a more holistic view of sustainability. Hopefully that's made clear through the site.
Soon, there will be waste and water metrics coming too. Look out for them!
Can I make up my own Do Action?
No, I'm afraid not. It makes consistent carbon calculations very difficult, and it also makes it harder for you to see how many people are doing the same action as you. We always think it's nice to see that, so you don't feel so alone.
But if there's something that you think should be up there then let us know and we'll add it to our wishlist.
How did you choose the Do Actions?
Initially, we came up with a long list of possible Do Actions in a string of brainstorming sessions.
We wanted to build a selection that would appeal to a broad range of people, whether they own a palace or live in student digs; drive a Porsche or are welded to their bike; are up for a challenge or just want to make a quick one-off contribution.
We were also careful to make sure they really did have all-round environmental benefits, as well as helping boost people's finances and health if possible.
Over time, we are adding to this list through requests and suggestions from users like you. So send us your suggestions please!
How do you choose your recommended products?
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to complete their pledge so we've done the research for you and, where appropriate, recommended some good, reliable and truly green products that can help you out.
For each successful referral made we receive a small commission, which we feed back into developing and improving Do Nation.
We have developed a clear affiliate selection policy to enable us to maintain our values and promote the best products possible. If you have any queries, concerns, or feedback on any of our affiliates, please drop us a line.
What difference do my actions make anyway?
Alone, very little. Especially on a global scale.
But they make a very real difference towards your company's target, combined with all your colleagues' efforts to make a meaningful impact. And if you then combine all the doers of Do Nation together, as the nation grows and grows, the difference could be pretty staggering.
42% of the UK's carbon emissions are a result of individual's actions, at home and in travel. That means that our actions, collectively, influence almost half of the nations carbon. So together we could make a pretty big difference…
How many emails will you send me?
Not too many. We'll send a few to make sure the process runs smoothly and that you don't forget what you'd pledged to do, as well as a prompt to return and let us know how you got on at the end of the two months.
We will also send monthly newsletters to members of our mailing list - you can subscribe from that here
See our privacy policy for more info.
Why is the pledge period two months?
We can't ask people to change their ways forever – that would be far too daunting a prospect. When making a pledge, you're just trying out the Do Action for a short stint.
Two months is a nice amount of time – it's short enough not to be too intimidating, but it's long enough for you to get a true taste of the Do Action, and perhaps form some nice new habits. Which is obviously our ultimate goal.
It's also just about long enough to have a reasonable impact on its own.
Can I eat fish when doing Veg Out?
Now this is a tricky one. In one sense, this is all about cutting carbon emissions, because they're the most measurable and ubiquitous cause of our problems. And fish consumption doesn't have much of a carbon footprint, so it should be ok to eat fish.
But (there's always a but!), the fish industry is one of the biggest environmental nightmares at present, clearing our oceans of all their natural stocks. So what we say is this:
It's fine to eat fish in moderation, so long as it's sustainably sourced. Why not make the Fish food pledge at the same time?
How do you know if I really do my Do Action?
We don't, but your colleagues, friends or family probably will. And you're making your commitment to them and to your company, not to us.
They will probably have a good idea if you're being honest about your actions.
A bit of gentle peer pressure goes a long way…
What happens if I don't fulfil my pledge?
You tell us. After two months you'll be asked to return to the site to confirm how you got on; at that stage you can simply say that you weren't able to complete it. If that's the case, your carbon savings won't be added to your company's total.
Lots of people don't complete the actions, a lot of them are easier said than done, so there's no need to feel bad about it. We'd just love to hear what got in the way and made it tough!
ROCs (renewable obligation certificates) - what are they?!
Electricity generators are given Renewable Obligation Certificates for electricity they produce from renewable sources.The UK government has set an obligation for all electricity suppliers to produce a set proportion of their electricity from these renewable sources; the exact proportion increases year on year – from 3% in 2002/03 to 11.1% in 2010/2011. This obligation is met by electricity producers when they present their Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs).
ROCs can be traded separately from electricity, and so if a producer falls short on renewables production they can buy additional ROCs from other suppliers who have produced excess.
The economics of it get complicated, but in short this means that some of the 'greenness' of a green producer is sold off to other producers, and so by simply switching to a green energy supplier you don't suddenly become carbon neutral. It's still a great thing to do nonetheless.
If you want to find out a bit more, head over to Ofgem's website.
Can I edit my pledge once I've made it?
Unfortunately not. At the moment it's not possible to go back and edit your pledges - but it is something we are working on for the future!
What's the optimum length programme?
That depends on your aims, how you plan to use Do Nation, and the type of programme you're going for.
Pro programmes are ideal for one off events, such as green weeks and sustainability workshops, and so one month's subscription is often plenty.
However, Do Nation can also be a great tool for an ongoing employee engagement programme, helping you to integrate communications, community, and measurement around your sustainability strategy over time.
If this is more what you're after, we'd recommend running a competition through our Plus package over the year, adjusting your prioritised Do Actions throughout the year to fit with your seasonal activities.
How much does it cost?
The cost depends on how many employees you have and on how long you want to run your programme for. You can see our prices here.
How do you take payment?
We will issue an invoice and send it over to you.
How much warning do I have to give to cancel our subscription?
You can cancel your subscription at any time. Once you cancel your subscription your page(s) will stay live until the end of that billing month (i.e. if you signed up on 16th January, your billing month is 16th Jan - 15th Feb and so on, and so if you cancelled on 28th June your pages would stay live until 27th July).
At this time, your programme will be closed, meaning people will no longer be able to make new pledges for it. Employees will still receive their reminder and confirmation emails, and will be able to confirm how they got on with their pledge.
Can we pay based on how many people sign up?
The cost is based on how many employees the programme is exposed to, not on how many make pledges. This is simply because we wouldn't want price to disincentivise you from encouraging maximum uptake and impact.
Many companies also prefer to know what they are going to pay up front, so we like to keep it simple and predictable.
Why can't I change our selected Do Actions?
Once you've launched your programme, you can still move actions between selected and prioritised, but you are not yet able to move them into or out of the unselected category.
We have designed it this way initially to keep the user journey simple for you and your employees, and to make sure that the reports we produce for you are accurate and unbiased. However, we are constantly reassessing these features and will keep you posted as they develop and change.
Will our programme and pledges still be accessible once I cancel our subscription?
Yes. When you cancel your subscription your programme will be closed, meaning people will no longer be able to make new pledges for it.
However, your pages will still be available so that employees will continue to receive their reminder and confirmation emails, and will be able to confirm how they got on with their pledge. This also allows you to return later to pull data for any CSR or sustainability reporting purposes.
Do you provide prizes for winning teams?
No, I'm afraid we don't provide prizes for winning teams.
Rewards can greatly incentivise pledges and we do recommend each company consider how they might be able to integrate them into their programme. Many of our clients have offered small prizes at the end of each month, e.g a cake or a bit of extra budget for the winning team's social kitty.
However, this this does vary for each company and so is not something we provide as part of the platform.
How do I cancel my programme?
If you'd like to cancel your programme at any point, you can simply contact us through your direct contact or our contact us page, and we'll take it down for you.
We'd be sorry to see you go and would love to hear your feedback if you do decide to cancel
What happens once I've cancelled our subscription?
When you cancel your subscription your programme will be closed (at the end of that billing month), meaning people will no longer be able to make new pledges for it.
However, your pages will still be available so that employees will continue to receive their reminder and confirmation emails, and will be able to confirm how they got on with their pledge. This also allows you to return later to pull data for any CSR or sustainability reporting purposes.

Re: Is it impossible for the fighters of today to ever reach the greatness of SRR or SRL?
It is 100% possible. No matter what, when you rank people, you must NEVER put one person on an unreachable pedastal. You simply cannot. If someone came along and mirrored Robinson's achievements, and then won ten more fights, he would simply have to be better than him. That's how it works.
Since no one will probably ever even fight that many times again at the top level, based on politics and other factors, the criteria need to be adjusted as such. For instance, do people really need to fight someone six times to find out who is best? Yes, it helps, but it isn't realistic in today's boxing picture. I don't believe anyone has surpassed Robinson (Leonard doesn't even need to be in this debate, because he's not number one) yet, but it is a very real possibility, and there is no reason to give it no chance.

Marvel braded characters fed into the Disney's marketing machine have produced huge returns for the Mouse House. Since Disney acquired Marvel in 2009, the 10 films that have been released have grossed over $7 billion in box office revenue. Of course, films are only the starting point of Disney's revenue streams.
Faced with various milestones, situations and challenges we can all relate to -- such as fear of failure, insecurities and wanting to belong -- each episode left the viewer with a clearly defined message or "takeaway" which, more often than not, came down to one simple principle: Always try to do the right thing.
From one sentence I realized, it's not for me to understand something I can't naturally relate to, but I must be compassionate. No one owes anyone a detailed breakdown of their personal and private experiences (especially when it can be so hard to put into words). The message is: I don't feel like my true self.

Canadian Natural Gas Declines After U.S. Stockpiles Increase
Canadian natural gas fell following a report that U.S. stockpiles of the fuel increased last week in the earliest seasonal gain in five years.
Alberta gas declined 2.5 percent after the Energy Department said U.S. natural gas stocks rose 11 billion cubic feet to 2.38 trillion in the week ended March 16. Warmer-than-normal weather has helped inventories climb to 54 percent above the five-year average.
"Mother Nature has just kicked natural gas in the guts," said Kyle Cooper, director of research at IAF Advisors in Houston. "The weather on an absolute basis has been really bearish."
Alberta gas for April delivery fell 4.75 cents to $1.82 a gigajoule ($1.73 per million British thermal units) as of 2:45 p.m. New York time on NGX, a Canadian Internet market. NGX gas is down 36 percent this year.
Gas traded on the exchange is shipped to users in Canada and the U.S. and priced on TransCanada Corp.'s Alberta system.
Natural gas for April delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange slid 9.1 cents, or 3.9 percent, to settle at $2.269 per million Btu.
Spot gas at the Alliance delivery point near Chicago slipped 1.85 cents to $2.1264 per million Btu on the Intercontinental Exchange. Alliance is an express line that can carry 1.5 billion cubic feet a day from western Canada.
Spot Prices
At the Kingsgate point on the border of Idaho and British Columbia, gas rose 1.26 cents to $2.1753 per million Btu. At Malin, Oregon, where Canadian gas is traded for California markets, gas rose 0.18 cent to $2.2304.
Volume on TransCanada's Alberta system, which collects the output of most of the nation's gas wells, was 16.8 billion cubic feet, 32 million above target.
Gas was flowing at a daily rate of 1.82 billion cubic feet at Empress, Alberta, where the fuel is transferred to TransCanada's main line.
At McNeil, Saskatchewan, where gas is transferred to the Northern Border Pipeline for shipment to the Chicago area, the daily flow rate was 2.24 billion cubic feet.
Available capacity on TransCanada's British Columbia system at Kingsgate was 917 million cubic feet. The system was forecast to carry 1.74 billion cubic feet today, or 66 percent of its capacity of 2.65 billion.
The volume on Spectra Energy's British Columbia system, which gathers the fuel in northeastern British Columbia for delivery to Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest, totaled 3.1 billion cubic feet at 1:35 p.m.

"Thomas Edison's Winter Home" Top 5 Page for this destination Fort Myers by yooperprof
Fort Myers Travel Guide: 101 reviews and 247 photos
Thomas Edison was an annual visitor to the gulf coast of Florida long before it was popular. He was quite a workaholic and so it was natural for him to build a replica of his New Jersey laboratory right on the grounds as well, so that he would put his time to the most productive. That nineteenth century sense of duty!

Unanswered: window.open not working?
Is there a way to get "window.open" working in javascript running in a packaged app?
I know there are possibilities like "Ion.util.openUrl(...)" for Default-Browser-Windows and "Ion.ui.Window({url: _url, title: 'Second Window'})" for Application-Windows. But I have some old views running in my app which use "window.open".

Bull Run Coffee hosts latte art throwdown
Bull Run Coffee's new shop at 3346 Lyndale Avenue S. has already been open one month and will be celebrating with a grand opening party and latte art "throwdown" this Thursday.
The shop will be hosting a special guest, coffee-geek guru Michael Phillips, the reigning World Barista Champion who recently left his position as Director of Coffee Education at Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea.
Here's what else is brewing:
There will be a social hour with Phillips at 8 p.m. with the "throwdown" starting at 10. Each barista--contestants can still register at the event--tosses in $5 for the round-robin latte art competition, with the money pot and bragging rights going to the evening's winner.
Latte art, the Bull Run folks explain, is evaluated by its degree of difficulty (size and number of designs), symmetry, contrast (how much the design "pops" from the coffee), and overall aesthetic. Fortunately for amateur competitors, Phillips will be judging and not competing because, he has said, "my skills aren't what they used to be to win a throwdown."
Also, if you're wondering why the competition is being held so late it's because that's when baristas are off work. And if you're worried about drinking so much caffeine at 10 p.m., Bull Run will have some Fulton and PBR on hand to counteract its affects.

"I ran out of time to get a Christmas card put together, but I knew I wanted to send a New Year's card in its place. Found the perfect card with just the right printed text and it was great to have lots of options on adding photos. Icing on the cake was how quickly the order arrived.....much faster than I thought. Thank you, Tiny Prints!!"
"I LOVED this card. We received so many compliments on it! The only fault I had with it is my own, I should have sent a better photo! I have been using Tinyprints for years and they NEVER disappoint!"
"I personalized the card with our picture. It came super fast right at my door, it was really a pleasant surprise to see the delivery in just like 2-3 days. Just it time for Christmas. I got plain envelopes with the cards that fit perfectly. However, I didn't pay attention about the size of the card. For some reason I assumed it would be a glossy card that opens. Nonetheless the cards were gorgeous and a bigger size would have ruined the image, so maybe by luck or destiny, these cards came out really nice."
"This design worked perfectly with my image! The design was not so busy that it detracted from the image but enhanced it! Loved the softness of it. I also felt it was a very classy design!"

Is Jonathan Sacks Great Britain's Last Chief Rabbi?

Another Way, Another Time: Religious Inclusivism and the Sacks Chief Rabbinate
By Meir Persoff
Academic Studies Press, 396 pages, £26.99 (pbk)/£54.50 (hbk)
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of the Hebrew Congregations of Great Britain and the Commonwealth, is the great enigma of the Jewish world. He is a tactful and dignified representative of the Jewish community to the British public, and articulates a compelling vision of Judaism that inspires many on both sides of the Atlantic. Influential British Jews, however, including some who were involved in his selection, rue the day Sacks was named Chief Rabbi and expect that when he reaches the retirement age of 65 in 2013 the position will be abolished.
Chief Rabbi since 1991 and recipient last year of a life peerage, which comes with a seat in the House of Lords, Sacks is an esteemed figure in Britain. A rough Jewish analog to the Archbishop of Canterbury, he has the ear of government ministers, frequently appears on radio and television, and is the most recognizable and respected Jewish voice on issues of the day. Sacks is also blessed with brilliant oratorical skills and a sharp intellect, honed by university training in philosophy. These help make him a sophisticated exponent of Modern Orthodoxy – traditional Judaism explicated in the language and categories of contemporary thought – a synthesis popular at Yeshiva University a generation ago, but more recently eclipsed by forms of Orthodoxy indifferent or hostile to secular intellectuality. Among the nearly 20 books Sacks has published is the Koren Sacks Siddur, a highly praised prayer book with English translation and commentary, clearly conceived as a Modern Orthodox alternative to the popular but intellectually premodern ArtScroll edition.
Sacks's latest book, "Future Tense: Jews, Judaism, and Israel in the Twenty-first Century," demonstrates once again Sacks's ability to construct a compelling, forward-looking vision of Judaism from classical texts of the tradition. The book's central insight is the seeming paradox that Judaism, as set forth in the Bible, is the religion of a particular people but serves a universal God. The God who rules over everything, who created humanity in His image and desires the recognition of all mankind, does not approve of a universal religion – the aspiration of both Christianity and Islam – because that would erode human diversity and produce uniformity. Judaism, for those who profess it, indicates that God wills the preservation of group identity, "the dignity of difference."
To be true to themselves, then, Jews must remain separate from other faiths even while engaging with them in the common task of doing God's will. Sacks shows how this delicate balance has been upset in modern times as some Jews have opted for versions of universalism (humanistic or Marxist) and left Judaism, while many of those who remained (especially among the Zionists and the Orthodox) turned inward, convinced that the world hates Jews or that secular culture undermines traditional Judaism. Sacks calls on Jews to reject this "segregationist orthodoxy" that imposes "the ghetto of the mind" and engage freely with other cultures and religions.
Since, he continues, "a people that dwells alone will eventually be full of people who dwell alone," Sacks also bemoans the corrosive effects of internal Jewish intolerance. Denying legitimacy to our fellow Jews, he writes, is not authentically Jewish; it is contrary to "the rabbinic ethic of the pursuit of knowledge as an extended argument between differing views within a fellowship of learning." In place of intra-Jewish, no-holds-barred ideological warfare, Sacks calls for reviving "the Jewish conversation."
Meir Persoff, a British historian and veteran journalist, wants the same thing, but charges that Sacks himself has repeatedly stifled respectful conversation within British Jewry. Persoff's new book, "Another Way, Another Time," is the first full-scale study of the Sacks chief rabbinate, and the picture presented is devastating.
With the aid of copious original sources such as newspapers, correspondence and interviews, Persoff shows how Sacks's top priority has been staying in the good graces of the Haredi, or strictly Orthodox, faction, whose high birthrate has made it the fastest-growing component of British Jewry. To achieve this, he has repeatedly acted to delegitimize the non-Orthodox movements – Reform, Liberal and Masorti – sometimes in ways personally insulting to their leaders. He has even gone so far as to delegitimize himself, withdrawing the first edition of a book he published in 2002 that aroused Haredi complaints, and rewriting the offending passages before republication. Ironically, it is clear from the documentation that Persoff has gathered that the Orthodox circles Sacks strives to placate will never consider him Orthodox enough no matter what he does.
Persoff makes his case that Sacks, by nature a thinker rather than a politician, made a poor career choice in seeking the chief rabbinate. But the book does not come to grips with the question of whether even someone far more politically adroit could have succeeded, given the structural constraints of the position that Persoff himself describes in detail. Simply put, a man who represents only the most moderate form of Orthodoxy – which used to be, but is no longer, professed by most British Jews – cannot also speak for the entire spectrum of the Jewish community, which today ranges religiously from far left to far right. In that sense Sacks may be an unfortunate victim of history. If so, the book's title is certainly apt: the position of Chief Rabbi was "another way" for "another time," but not for the religiously fractured present.
Sacks draws standing-room-only crowds on his speaking tours of the United States, where there is no Chief Rabbi and where the beleaguered Modern Orthodox consider him a breath of religious fresh air. Both his eloquent exposition of traditional Judaism and his commitment to respectful disagreement would be unconstrained by extraneous considerations should he wish to retire to an American pulpit or university campus. We should be so fortunate!

Another Way, Another Time: Religious Inclusivism and the Sacks Chief Rabbinate
Meir Persoff, Academic Studies Press, £54.50 (26.99 pb)
Britain's Chief Rabbis and the Religious Character of Anglo-Jewry, 1880-1970
Benjamin J. Elton, Manchester University Press, £60
Is there a simple answer to the question of what is the role of the Chief Rabbinate? What has the current Chief Rabbi achieved within Anglo-Jewry and more broadly as a religious representative? Is his office viable and have any of the elected Chief Rabbis ever genuinely served as religious guides whose teachings and values have been followed by Jews in Britain? These are some of the questions addressed by two new studies of the religious leadership of British Jewry.
Persoff's work argues that "many (if not most) regard the Chief Rabbinate as divisive, and would not miss it should it cease to exist". He builds to this statement by analysing how the inclusivist vision explicitly laid down as a template for the Sacks Chief Rabbinate has repeatedly failed to be implemented.
Persoff collates an impressive array of sources to demonstrate how separatism, bitter infighting and a marked failure to cultivate inclusivism have prevailed. He examines the variety of crises that have mired the Chief Rabbi, including the fate of Jewish Continuity, the Women in the Community project, and the Hugo Gryn affair. He also highlights the Chief Rabbi's role in recent controversies over conversion, especially as played out in the JFS trial.
In a chapter entitled "The Mirage of Unity", Persoff shows that calls have repeatedly been made throughout the history of the Chief Rabbinate for the abolition of the office. He assesses how from both the religious left and right, it has been criticised either as unrepresentative or as an inappropriate secular construct.
While drawing attention to the perpetual problems of the Chief Rabbinate, Persoff largely follows the received historiography of Anglo-Jewry. This suggests that a once largely unified community, which sought to uphold an umbrella model encompassing all who wished to be included, has become increasingly polarised as a result of religious shifts.
Elton's work, in contrast, argues that a study of the theologies of Britain's Chief Rabbis between 1880-1970 highlights undeviating consistency and influential leadership. He insists that evidence of religious shifts is misplaced. Yet his eagerness to revise received historiography somewhat blinkers his research.
Elton's thesis is that the demographic transformation of the community caused by eastern European immigration merely enabled later Chief Rabbis to implement religious sensibilities to which they were consistently attached. While this argument is essentially sound, it cannot negate the fact that a religious shift nonetheless occurred in Anglo-Jewry, away from primarily Victorian religious values that had underpinned the institutions that have shaped the community.
Quite aside from internal shifts, the transformation of British sensibilities towards religion over that period are also significant. Indeed Persoff's analysis points to the growing importance of ethnicity, rather than religion, as a factor in Anglo-Jewish identity.
Elton asserts that theology provides the key tool to understanding the religious direction of Anglo-Jewry. He constructs a new method to define religious positions, broadly based on whether they acknowledge or reject modernity. His new definitions have the advantage of moving away from terms like Orthodox or Reform, which often have multiple and therefore confusing meanings. But his application of them impairs his ability properly to understand the nuances of the theologies of individuals he considers.
For example, his treatment of Jakobovits and other heirs to the German neo-Orthodox tradition is undermined by a failure to take into account the strict boundaries to modernity's influence that have emerged in neo-Orthodoxy.
Elton focuses on attitudes to divine revelation as the key determinant of any individual's theology. Highlighting a consistency among Chief Rabbis on this doctrine, he makes it critical to his argument against religious change. Yet this grants insufficient weight to other factors. It is not surprising that a community dominated by ostensibly Orthodox institutions has had Chief Rabbis and dayanim who have upheld the doctrine of Torah min hashamayim (Torah from Heaven). A work that emphasises the importance of theology to understand Anglo-Jewry better cannot really afford to oversimplify theological arguments.
Persoff quotes an anonymous commentator in 1912 who suggested that prior to the appointment of a successor to Hermann Adler, Anglo-Jewry was managing perfectly well without a Chief Rabbi. As Lord Sacks approaches retirement in 2013, Persoff argues against the lasting value of the post. Meanwhile Elton argues that it has been responsible for the strength of Anglo-Jewish Orthodoxy. The latest data on synagogue affiliation highlights, notwithstanding Elton's argument, how Anglo-Jewry is changing. Mainstream Orthodoxy is losing its majority share - indicating the seeming necessity to reconsider the future role of a Chief Rabbi.
Maybe Anglo-Jewry is so secure it can be represented by committee, acknowledging the presence of majority and minority opinions without reducing its coherence or strength. Alternatively, it is so deeply divided that seeking to maintain a single religious representative has simply become too disingenuous.
Historically, the means of securing real power to the office of Chief Rabbi has been an incumbent's ability to develop independent sources of authority. The lack of inherent power in the Chief Rabbinate, in some respects an intentional feature of a rabbinical office created by lay leaders, has increased the importance of individual personality.
The current Chief Rabbi's proliferation of publications and foreign lecture tours provide a primary means for him to achieve influence beyond his office. They may also point to the influence he could wield after retirement, unconstrained by his office, should he choose to do so.

New book stirs controversy about British Chief Rabbi
By Winston Pickett, Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Jerusalem Post, 9 May, 2010
A new book that criticizes Britain's Chief Rabbi is opening old wounds and sparking a new debate about whether the institution of the British Chief Rabbi has outlived its usefulness.
"Another Way, Another Time" examines the tenure of Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, known formally as Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the British Commonwealth.
Author Meir Persoff, who has written two academic studies on the Chief Rabbinate, argues that despite Sacks's pledge at the outset of his tenure to be inclusive – Sacks is Orthodox – the position has become divisive in an increasingly diverse Jewish community. "The Chief Rabbinate has run its course, and an alternative form of leadership is called for which recognizes the plurality of the community," Persoff writes.
The book has reignited a long-simmering debate in Britain's Jewish community about Sacks, who declined to be interviewed for the book as well as this article.
Some staunchly defend both the office and the influential role he has played for the community; Sacks recently was inducted into the House of Lords. Others say the position should be eliminated when Sacks retires in three years, because no one person can represent the multifarious viewpoints of Britain's Jewish community.
The position of Chief Rabbi emerged in the 18th and early 19th centuries among the Ashkenazi Jews of London as a form of representation to English authorities – the Jewish equivalent of the archbishop of Canterbury. The position gained formal recognition by an act of Parliament in 1870. Within the Jewish community, the Chief Rabbi has authority only over the United Synagogue, the modern Orthodox movement and Britain's largest synagogue movement.
Nevertheless, both the office and the stature of those who have held it have given the Chief Rabbi the appearance and de facto authority over the years of representing Anglo Jewry, particularly in the eyes of the non-Jewish British public.
This is what so irks many non-Orthodox Jews, particularly in cases where they believe that Sacks does not represent their perspective or interests.
"My main critique of the office is that it doesn't allow for the plurality of the community to express itself," said Jonathan Wittenberg, a leading Conservative rabbi. "To say that the one figure represents the whole community is misleading. Better would be an office that offers a more shared sense of both the diversity and the strength of Jewish leadership that exists in this country."
Defenders of Sacks, whose philosophical books are popular and whose advice has been sought by non-Jewish religious leaders and even prime ministers, say the need for an eloquent spokesman for the Jews is paramount at a time of rising anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment in Britain.
"Few Jews are as well known and highly regarded by the non-Jewish world, a fact not insignificant in determining our relations with others," Sigmund Sternberg, one of Britain's chief financial backers of the Reform movement, wrote in the London-based Jewish Chronicle.
The president of the United Synagogue, Simon Hochhauser, said the notion that the Chief Rabbi speaks for all British Jews is false. The Chief Rabbi's true role, he said, is as a bastion of centrist Orthodoxy in a movement increasingly dominated by right-wing Orthodox and the haredim.
"The strength of the Chief Rabbinate is its flexibility throughout its history in maintaining a middle ground," Hochhauser said. "He is not the Chief Rabbi of the haredi community any more than he is Chief Rabbi of the non-Orthodox movements."
Coloring the debate over the chief rabbi are several controversial episodes during Sacks's tenure. The latest was when an internal communal dispute over the admissions policy of a Jewish school reached the unwanted spotlight of England's Supreme Court. The result was a ruling that labeled the admissions policy of the school – which is Orthodox, state supported and operated under the auspices of the Chief Rabbinate – as discriminatory. The school had refused to admit a student who was not Jewish according to Halacha.
"The difficulties that have arisen during the Sacks era are on such a scale that it may be time to abolish the office of chief rabbi entirely," Jonathan Romain, a Reform rabbi, wrote in The Guardian. "It is a misleading title, as it gives the impression that the Chief Rabbi represents British Jewry as a whole, whereas he only represents the Orthodox, and not even all Orthodox Jews."
Sacks's critics say his record contrasts sharply with the expectation of inclusivity that he set when he took office in 1991. At the time Sacks said that he wished to reach out "to every Jew with open arms and an open heart." Two years later he published One People?, a book in which he championed "inclusivism."
Acknowledging there was no prospect of a return to traditional Jewish observance by the overwhelming majority of non-Orthodox Jews, Sacks wrote that it therefore was necessary for Orthodox Jews to be inclusivist rather than exclusivist, to seek "a nuanced understanding of secular and liberal Jews," and to attach "positive significance to the fact that liberal Judaisms have played their part in keeping alive for many Jews the values of Jewish identity, faith, and practice." The stance was welcomed by non-Orthodox Jews in Britain.
But by the mid-1990s Sacks's efforts at inclusivity ran aground. He canceled a planned appearance at a memorial service for Reform leader and Auschwitz survivor Rabbi Hugo Gryn, one of Britain's most popular Jewish public figures, after the haredi Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations protested.
The controversy intensified when the Jewish Chronicle published a leaked copy of Sacks' reply to the head of the union, Rabbi Chenoch Padwa, in which he portrayed himself as an "enemy" of the non-Orthodox movements.
The affair exposed the internal divisions among British Jewry. Of the approximately 70 per cent of British Jews who are affiliated, some 47% are Orthodox, 16% are Reform or Liberal, 4% are haredi, 2% are Sephardi and 1% are Conservative, according to the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
The Gryn affair eroded support for Sacks and sparked the creation of a commission to examine who speaks for British Jewry. The result was the Community of Communities report published by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research in 2000, which without directly singling out the Chief Rabbinate, affirmed the need for an "independent, cross-communal coordinating structure" to represent British Jews on religious and secular matters.
Persoff's book, while mostly a detailed and scholarly review of Sacks's 20-year tenure, has sparked new conversation about abolishing the Chief Rabbi position. Based on the reaction playing out on the pages of the country's main Jewish newspaper, the Jewish Chronicle, it appears that most British Jews believe that in these times of rising anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiment, it's important to have an eloquent spokesman for British Jews.

Forcedeth and the Linux kernel
This question pretty much revolves around a scenario I'm having with the Linux kernel and the way a certain device works at the moment.
I've noticed that my nVidia ethernet card works with forcedeth (I don't know which version) inside of Ubuntu Feisty. I can't figure out how to find which version of forcedeth is being used. If you can tell me, that would be awesome.
For what I know, forcedeth in Feisty is with the 2.6,20.* kernel. I look at this, and I notice that I haven't found any other LInux kernel below 2.6.20 to work with my nvidia card.
I believe this has to do with the forcedeth driver, but I have no way of proving it. I have no way of proving it, because I can't figure out the version of the forcedeth driver.
Yet I'm still thinking the forcedeth driver correlates the the Linux kernel being used.
So, does each Linux kernel that is released come with a certain version of forcedeth? Is there a way of finding out which kernel comes with which version of forcedeth?
08-13-2007 #2
I think the version of forcedeth is different for each kernel, but am not sure. I have 2 different kernels & it is the same size 50976. with different dates.
the file is in /lib/modules/2.6.something/kernel/drivers/net/forcedeth.ko
will keep looking... try locate forcedeth

I have found out how to find the version. do a "dmesg |grep forced"

EOF - Dear Laptop Vendor
I'm a collector, but I have one collection I alternately love and hate. I have several thousand "Designed for Microsoft Windows" stickers. I love them because each one marks a laptop that's been freed from the Microsoft matrix. I hate them because they remind me that any laptop you'd actually want to own for three to four years is born into slavery by its maker.
EmperorLinux has been installing, configuring, testing and supporting Linux on brand-name laptops and notebooks since 1999. This is not easy work. Getting Linux running well, with full support for all the hardware on a freshly minted laptop, presents many significant technical hurdles. Any Linux laptop worth its salt requires quite a raft of distribution-specific and system hardware-specific configuration file modifications, many of which are beyond current Linux automated configuration tools. Of course, no modern laptop will have full hardware support without a very heavily patched kernel. Customers—rightfully so—want solid support for IEEE-1394 FireWire, ACPI (with suspend), Wi-Fi (both b and g), external VGA and everything Windows users get from a laptop. No stock Linux distribution kernel can do this, and the Linux vendors all disclaim laptop support. Hardware vendors IBM and Dell even have dipped their toes into the Linux laptop pool occasionally and pulled out for reasons of support (lots) and demand (small).
Consumers should know that no name-brand vendor will sell them a laptop without a preloaded operating system. They can be certain that the OS will be supplied by a much-maligned monopoly. The problem, of course, is in the nature of the Faustian bargain into which all major hardware vendors have entered in order to get where they are today. Every time the big vendors send their representatives to us, they ask what they can do for us. I tell them their hardware design is excellent and that my customers appreciate the long-term hardware warranties. I ask only one thing they don't provide, and I am vexed by the unchanging answer. Even a big vendor's authorized reseller or strategic partner cannot get this mythical "bare" laptop.
Our customers know, I know and the big vendors probably know these things hold true: 1) laptops are a small percentage of the total personal computing market; 2) Linux, though big on the server, is a small part of the desktop OS market; 3) "Linux" doesn't mean one thing, there are at least six viable, popular Linux distributions, each having two to three versions in common usage; and 4) taken together, those imply that there can't possibly be a decent market.
We know that big business is about profit, and that is fine. Even though I'm a PhD geek who likes laptops, at the end of the day, I've got a whole mess of hungry little Georgia Tech graduates to feed. We know that neither the stability of Linux nor its high ideals really factor in your decision. If your projections don't yield the right ROI numbers, the product idea behind those projections won't get off the drawing board.
There is a way out of this, which just happens to be a win-win situation for everyone. Sell "bare" laptops. These must be exactly the same systems you purvey with Windows, only with bare disks (simply add a "b" to the end of your model stock codes). Clearly mark these units as having full hardware warranties but absolutely no software support for any OS (the Linux users aren't going to call you anyway). These systems need not be massively cheaper than your Windows offerings either. In fact, we all know the "Microsoft Tax" is really only a moral affront and that the dollar cost is well under $100. Don't try to push a lower-end system on us; we want the full-feature selection and per-specification configurability you otherwise would offer. Plenty of Linux users are out there who want a $3,000 laptop.
Do all this, and here is what you will get: 1) a massive flow of Linux user goodwill—the moral aspect really is important to us; 2) your foot quickly in the door of a very rapidly growing market; 3) the ability to sidestep the whole "Which Linux distribution?" question, and its support issues, by disguising it as "End-User Choice"; and 4) all your high-margin laptop hardware profit up front, with zero software support costs later. In short, you will get a new business line with a very short time-to-market, high ROI and low risk.
Let's be frank, Mr Big Vendor, you are in the hardware business and have no resources nor desire to get into the OS software support business with individual customers. That is what my company does. Please take our money and laugh all the way to the bank. We'll do all the hard work.
Lincoln Durey is founder and president of EmperorLinux (www.EmperorLinux.com). He was introduced to Linux in 1994 while working on his PhD in Electrical Engineering. He has been putting Linux on laptops since 1999.

Please also offer Windows, with drivers for your hardware, as an add-on for those who:
- want to run Windows in a virtual machine
- want to run multiple versions of Windows
- changed their mind after buying noOS (because their boss is making them use application X which only runs in Windows).
The add-on version will be more expensive, of course. More profit!

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier Leaves Novell
IT journalist and openSUSE Community Manager Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier announced that he is leaving Novell as of January 31.
Zonker announced his decision in his blog. After the openSUSE Conference and the release of openSUSE 11.2, Zonker reports that his crucial work on the project was over. "Working with Novell and the openSUSE community has been a great experience," he said, adding that "it is time to move on." Above all he was looking for an activity that didn't "involve quite so many airports."
On his blog Zonker says that he will continue to field questions even after January 31, and that he's not "dropping off the planet." However, queries about openSUSE should also start going to Michael Loeffler and Andreas Jaeger.

The problem I'm solving involves a proof using the operator $ad A$, which is defined as follows:
$ad$ $A $ $\cdot =[A,\cdot]$
What does this notation mean?
In Lie theory, variously $\mathrm{ad}_A$, $\mathrm{ad}(A)$ or $\mathrm{ad}\,A\,$ all refer to the adjoint action of an endomorphism $A$; we will choose $\mathrm{ad}_A$. Note this is distinct from the adjoint representation of the Lie group, which is denoted by $\mathrm{Ad}_g$ for $g\in G$, with 'Ad' capitalized, although $\mathrm{ad}$ and $\mathrm{Ad}$ are highly analogous (indeed, the former is a linearization of the latter, and the latter is a smooth group conjugation action).
Given a vector space $V$, the set of endomorphisms $\mathrm{End}(V)$ is a vector space itself under pointwise addition and scalar multiplication. A Lie algebra is defined as a vector space $L$ with a bilinear operation $[\cdot,\cdot]$ (called the Lie bracket) satisfying skew-symmetry and the Jacobi identity. $\mathrm{End}(V)$ is a Lie algebra if we define $[X,Y]=XY-YX$, where writing endomorphisms next to each other means functional composition. This particular Lie bracket is called the commutator bracket.
Given $A\in\mathrm{End}(V)$, the adjoint $\mathrm{ad}_A:X\mapsto [A,X]$ is an endomorphism of $\mathrm{End}(V)$. Thus, the adjoint Lie algebra representation $\mathrm{ad}:\mathrm{End}(V)\to \mathrm{End}(\mathrm{End}(V)):A\to\mathrm{ad}_A$ is a linear operator. Moreover, $\mathrm{ad}_A$ is a derivation on $\mathrm{End}(V)$ for each $A$ and $\mathrm{ad}$ is a Lie algebra homomorphism; both of these facts are equivalent to the Jacobi identity axiom.
Since each $\mathrm{ad}_A$ is an endomorphism of the space $\mathrm{End}(V)$, it makese sense to consider powers in the operator $\mathrm{ad}_A$, and more generally power series in it. If the ground field is $\Bbb R$ or $\Bbb C$, then
$$\exp(t\,\mathrm{ad}_A)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(t\,\mathrm{ad}_A)^n}{n!}:~~ X\to\mathrm{Id}_V+\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{t^n}{n!}[\underbrace{A,[A,\cdots[A}_n,X]\cdots]].$$
This wraps up the comment section pretty much.

Effects of Music on Vividness of Movement Imagery
Date: December 1994
Creator: Tham, Edgar Kok Kuan
Description: The purpose of the investigation was to determine the effects of music on self reported vividness of movement imagery. Eighty-four undergraduate kinesiology majors (42 males; 42 females) were subjects. Based on identical perceptions of precategorized music (classical and jazz), selected subjects were randomly assigned to one of three music treatment conditions (sedative, stimulative, and control) and administered the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire. A 3 x 2 x 2 (Treatment x Gender x Perspective) ANOVA with repeated measures on the last factor was employed. The results revealed that the two music conditions significantly enhanced the vividness of internal and external imagery perspectives when compared to the no music condition, and that music facilitated the vividness of males and females equally.

Self-Efficacy and Fears of Pain and Injury in Gymnastics and Tumbling: Does a Previous Injury Matter?
Date: December 2010
Creator: Jackson, Stacy
Description: The purpose of this study was to explore whether a previous gymnastic or tumbling injury influences gymnasts' and tumblers' self-efficacy, motivation, competition anxiety, and fears of pain and injury. Participants (N = 105) completed survey packets during practice which contained demographic questions and questionnaires that measure self-efficacy for physical abilities and exercise, self-motivation, risk of injury, pain catastrophizing, and sport anxiety. Results of a one-way ANOVA indicated that gymnasts and tumblers who experienced a previous injury were significantly different than those who had not experienced an injury on their self-efficacy for physical abilities (p = .007), self-motivation (p = .007), and perceived risk of reinjury (p = .018). Specifically, these findings indicate that gymnasts and tumblers with previous injuries experience higher levels of self-efficacy for physical abilities, self-motivation, and perceived risk of reinjury. Implications for coaches, gymnasts, and tumblers include: creating an open and comfortable environment to discuss pain and injury, developing strategies to break the negative cycle of fear of injury, and fostering a positive rehabilitation process. In the future, researchers should examine the influence that gender and type of competition has on self-efficacy, self-motivation, perceived risk of reinjury, pain perceptions, and competition anxiety of those who have experienced ...

Identifying Changes in Resilience during Rehabilitation from a Spinal Cord Injury
Date: May 2008
Creator: White, Brian Dale
Description: The study purposes were to identify changes in resilience, satisfaction with life (SWL), depression, spirituality, and functional independence (FI) and to examine the relationship between these variables, during the inpatient rehabilitation for a spinal cord injury (SCI). The sample included 42 individuals with a SCI, 33 males and 9 females, who were inpatients with a mean stay of 52 days (SD = 15.78). A repeated measures design was employed with questionnaires completed at three times during rehabilitation. Results indicated that there were significant changes in depression, satisfaction with life, spirituality, and FI during inpatient rehabilitation. Findings also indicated significant correlations between resilience, SWL, spirituality, and depression. Future studies developing interventions, and examining factors that predict resilience could help build resilience and may improve rehabilitation outcomes.

Factors related to cycling performance
Date: May 2001
Creator: Naukkarinen, Vesa
Description: There were two primary goals in this investigation. The first goal was to determine if results from field tests (time-trials and a Conconi incremental test) are related to performance in mass-start long-distance bicycle races. The second goal was to investigate inter-relationships among field test variables. The testing variables measured were critical velocity (CV), Conconi anaerobic threshold (AT) velocity, 4mM AT velocity, fatigue index, peak blood lactate, and anaerobic work capacity. Participants were USCF 30 category 1 through 5 cyclists. Participants performed one 20.75 km and two 10.37 km all-out tests in the field. They also performed an incremental test. The tests were performed at one-week intervals. Results from the field tests were compared to recent mass-start racing performance. Results indicated that Conconi AT velocity was related to performance in a 161-km race. There was also a relationship between 4mM AT velocity and CV and between Conconi AT velocity and 4mM AT velocity. It was concluded that field tests might provide information about performance ability in mass-start long-distance bicycle races.

Factors that Influence Men to Coach Women's NCAA Division II Basketball
Date: August 1997
Creator: Jackson, James Calvin
Description: This study identified factors that influenced men to coach women's basketball. The CCFQ, designed to determine relative importance of each of nine factors in career selection, was completed by 78 male head coaches of women's NCAA II basketball. Data was analyzed using univariate analysis with repeated measures, t-tests, and ANOVA. These coaches indicated fulfill need for competition, help female athletes reach full potential, and serve as role model as significant influences. Moderate influences included personal attributes of athletes, job attributes, and career advancement. Job availability, belief in own success, and income were not considered influential in career selection. Few differences were indicated between demographic sub-groups on any factor. Factors associated with well being of athletes had the greatest influence.

Effects of Maternal Aerobic Exercise on Selected Pregnancy Outcomes in Nulliparas
Date: August 1997
Creator: Melgar, Dian L. (Dian Louise)
Description: This study evaluated the effects of participation in aerobic exercise on pregnancy outcomes. Pregnancy outcomes included type of delivery, length of labor, gestational age, neonatal birth weight, and maternal weight gain. The 137 nulliparas were categorized as active (N=44) or sedentary (N=93) based on self-reported aerobic exercise. Findings from this study suggest that pregnant women who were active during pregnancy were more likely to have vaginal deliveries than sedentary women. No significant differences between active and sedentary women were found in neonatal birth weight, maternal weight gain, length of labor, or gestational age.

The Influence of Perceived Support From Parental and Peer Relationships on Students' Health-related Beliefs and Behaviors
Date: May 2013
Creator: Barton, Mitch
Description: College is an important time for young adults, but most college students fail to meet the daily recommendations for physical activity. Social support is associated with positive health practices, but limited research is available on the role of perceived support from specific relationships, (e.g., peers and parents). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of perceived support from parental and peer relationships on health-related beliefs and behaviors. Participants (N = 333) completed the Quality of Relationships Inventory, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Satisfaction With Life scale, and a short version of the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire. While highly active students did not necessarily have more socially support relationships, females self-reported more conflict with both parents and more depth and support with a special person in their life than males, and parental and peer relationships appeared to be a greater influence on females' perceptions of satisfaction and self-worth.

Airport Staff Sun Protection Initiatives
Friday 09 July 2010
Airport employees who spend work time in the sun this summer will be able to use a company-issued sun screen to protect their skin from the harmful effects of the sun and UVA rays.
The bottles of Ultrasun lotion, with a sun protection factor of 30, are being distributed to staff as part of the airport's 'Zero Harm' initiative and they come branded with the safety campaign's logo specially printed on the on the label by the manufacturer.
Commenting on the latest idea to keep staff safe at work, Exeter Airport's director of operations, Stephen Wiltshire said: "We have just received our first one hundred bottles of the specially labelled Ultrasun product and those who are out in the open during the summer months will be encouraged to use the lotion before undertaking their duties.
"Aircraft marshallers, baggage handlers and dispatchers are just some of the airport workers who can find themselves on the apron for many hours of the day in hot weather. In providing sun protection we are doing what we can to help protect their areas of skin exposed to the sunshine."
In another preventative Zero Harm measure, Exeter Airport is also doing a trial using peaked caps for members of staff exposed to the sun as they go about their daily routine. The use of Musto sailing caps, by people working around aircraft, will cut down the brightness and the effects of direct sun.
Using the sailing cap's short cord and clip it will be attached to clothing and in the unlikely event that a gust wind blew the cap off, it would not become what the airport calls foreign object debris (FOD), which could become a concern in close proximity to aircraft.
Mr Wiltshire continued: "The hot spell earlier this year has prompted the sun screen and sun cap ideas and we look forward to our staff embracing these initiatives."

Cervical Dilation in Pictures
Your doctor has measured you and told you that you are 1 to 2 centimeters dilated, but what does that look like? Before labor starts a woman can begin to dilate and efface. When active labor begins, she will dilate from 1 cm all the way to 10 cm. Once she is at 10 cm she can start pushing.
The Bottom Line: An Alternative Method for Checking Cervical Dilation
The standard method for birth professionals to measure cervical dilation and effacement is the vaginal examination. When a midwife or doctor checks a woman's cervix, she reaches her gloved hand inside the vagina and measures how many finger widths the opening of the cervix is. A centimeter is» Read more
Effacement and Dilation Explained
In the final weeks of pregnancy, an expectant mother's body begins its natural preparation for labor and delivery. Among the early signs of labor are effacement and dilation, important changes that occur to the cervix and work together to make it possible for the baby to safely and smoothly come out of its mother's uterus.» Read more
Signs of Labor
As you approach the last weeks of pregnancy, you may wonder when labor will begin, whether symptoms you may be having could be the start of labor, and when you should call your doctor or head to the hospital.

Most Helpful
The second time I made this I deglazed only once, using balsmic vinegar and and the red wine. I saved adding the basil for right before serving. The basil was more aromatic and gave much more favor than cooking it. Everyone served wanted the recipe! Its a saver now.
Take it from someone who doesn't cook very often. This recipe was so easy and so good! I cut the wine to 1/2 cup, that was the only variation. My family couldn't believe I made this great dish. I served it with buttered/garlic bread.
