GS111S DOUBLE RACKLER/214 Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of GS111S DOUBLE RACKLERin our 2015, and 2016 G-Star RAW range.
These Sunglasses are a guarantee for looking good for both men and women. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. The square shape gives round faces a concise form and makes them appear more striking. It sets a highlight in the appearance, drawing attention to itself. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant. Havana is a particularly warm, "spotted" shade of brown and can be found in almost every collection. The colour dates back to the origin of eyewear, when frames were made of turtle shells. Havana makes your face appear softer and can be ideally combined with autumn and spring colours. You can rely on the guaranteed UV400 protection, for all the sunglasses in our shop.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your G-Star RAW back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

The BG023 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Bogner collections 2015 and 2016.

Carven Ma Griffe (EDP, 50ml - 100ml)
£58.00 Product Code 3268453
- Overview
Carven's Ma Griffe is a chypre fragrance that was first launched in 1946.
With Ma Griffe, Jean Carles combined for the very first time the green, floral note of the gardenia bud in abundance with citronellal and styrax, to produce the sensation of almost aggressive freshness that was so totally new at the time.
The top notes are a burst of citrus notes, bergamot and lemon bathed in the freshness of gardenia bud. The heart is a profusion of jasmine against notes of sandalwood, rose and ylang ylang. In the base is the masculine note that was also to ground the success of Carven's mens fragrance, vetiver, accompanied by musk, Tonka bean and styrax.
The final word belongs to Madame Carven: "An outdoor fragrance without the heavy overtones."
- Details
- Top notes: bergamot, lemon and gardenia bud
- Middle notes: jasmine, sandalwood, rose and ylang ylang
- Base notes: vetiver, musk, Tonka bean and styrax
- Eau de parfun

If not, it could be any one of like 12 other doctors. This just seems really strange to me. I just always assumed whoever was your ob would deliver your baby unless they were out if town or something.
Dr will only deliver during normal business hours?!
Posted 06/10/2014
I don't think it's a big deal. And pretty normal. No dr has even made it to my births lol. They just aren't quick enough
Posted 06/10/2014
It's normal there is 3 other doctors in the office and if I go into labor out of that time range it will be whoever is on call and I have actually met all three and like all of them so it doesn't matter which one delivers me
Posted 06/10/2014
Totally normal. They can't be on call all the time! My doctor delivered my son because he was born at 4:30 pm but otherwise I expect to have the on call dr. And like others said, the dr is hardly with you at all. Mine came in to catch the baby and stitch me up. The nurse is who I spent all of my time with.
Posted 06/10/2014
My first pregnancy I went to an office with a team of 6 doctors. The day I had to deliver not one was on call and some other dr had to do the c-section.
I think it's pretty normal.
This will be my 5th c-section and the day I turn 38 weeks is a Saturday and they are making me wait until following Monday to deliver because they won't schedule on weekends.

At my office it is generally the on-call, although she said she tries really hard to be there if she can (she has a family too so I completely understand). During my weekly visits starting next week I will meet all of the other docs so whoever it is will be familiar to me.
Posted 06/10/2014
Yeah, normal in my experience. This will be my third with a midwife practice , one of a dozen midwives will deliver depending on who is on. I always hoped I would get lucky and end up with my usual provider but with both my previous deliveries I ended up with a midwife I had never met, and both times it took about 2 minutes with them in active labor to feel comfortable with them. Maybe it's different in a really small practice but I can't imagine the work/life balance for an OB who had to be on call 24-7.
Posted 06/10/2014
There are 3 doctors at my practice.. My ob will deliver if it's business hours or if she is the one on call. They split up weekends and evenings so I have 1/3 chance of getting her if it's not m-f 8-6

It sucks, but normal. I use the midwives at the Women's Clinic here. They rotate 3 midwives to be on call. I know I'll end up with one of 3. Better than some women's 1 in 12 options.
I had a friend who was seeing a doc specifically who did VBACS. She went into labor on the weekend when the doc wasn't on call. The on call doc wouldn't do a VBAC and had to have another CS after several successful VBACS. She was pissed.

On if he will take Channing Crowder, who campaigned on Wake's behalf, to Hawaii: "He texted me a little bit earlier, I am sure that we will talk about that later on this evening. I wouldn't doubt that would be something that I would do. He's been a guy that has been in my corner from early on and just being one of the fellas, he's actually helping me from the moment I got here, out there on the field making plays, without a doubt he is a guy that you would love to have in your corner."
On if the Pro Bowl was one of his goal growing up and now making it where does he goes from here: "Its one of those things that growing up, being a youngster and playing you always want to be the best of the best, Super Bowl, Pro Bowl things like that, (things) you dream about when you're young and like I said finally getting here is truly an accomplishment. But I have always been one of those people who always set the bar pretty high and was never satisfied on just being able to get here and make it is truly an accomplishment, but I really feel that the sky is the limit and there is much more to be had."
On if he thought this was a possibility when the season began or has he exceed his expectations: "You know what, really from the time I was sitting on the couch watching games on Sunday, I was always a guy who believed in myself and give me an opportunity and I could show a lot of people that I could play this game called football. It was never something that I believed was out of reach for me, like I said just to get the opportunity to get on the field and Coach (Mike) Nolan and Coach (Bill) Sheridan being able to work with me and being able to do a lot of things that they give me the opportunity to do, it definitely wasn't something that I thought would be impossible it was something that I just felt like given the right opportunity and getting out there, and like I said, leaving it all on the field it was well within reach."
On if it feels as good as he expected it to feel when it was a goal: "It definitely feels good. It's hard mostly you can't realize, two years ago sitting on the couch and wondering who wants you. Not being picked up and having worked out and not being signed and being cut and going through all those things from that point to being considered an All-Pro is, it's hard to put into words. It's a tremendous amount of sacrifice and perseverance, but at the end of the day being here is a great feeling, it really is."
On what his plans are to celebrate his selection? Go out and eat a steak? Workout? Have a drink?: "Well, you know what, I am on a diet so I don't know if the steak is going to happen tonight, I don't drink so that is definitely out of the question and we have practice tomorrow morning early so, I don't know what I'll do, I'll probably kick my feet up and take a deep breath for a minute and kind of let it all soak in. But I will be going to bed early tonight and I'll be back at the facility at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow, so the celebrating probably won't happen until after the season, we still have another game to play and my concentration is going there."
On the bittersweet ending of the season and can he separate the individual honor: "It is really hard to do that, I was joking around with one of the guys that I was hoping that I wouldn't be able to play because we would all be in Texas getting ready for the Super Bowl. But with that being out the question now, it is kind of hard now coming off a loss last week, it was one that we felt kind of let slip away and it is really bittersweet. You definitely wish you were doing better as a whole and then have something like this where you try to keep the individual part of it down because you know that so many other people were out there helping you and were a part of that success."
On if he received the text from Channing Crowder before or after he found out: "That was before (he found out), he wanted to come and hang out. I think that he is in the area somewhere and we were going to grab a bite to eat, but we actually missed each other. But like I said I am sure that we will be talking later on trying to get all the details worked out."
On how much time he has spent in Hawaii: "How much time have I spent in Hawaii? Actually, I played in the Hula Bowl coming out of college and I have been there a couple of other times on vacation. So I have been there a few times, but I am sure that this one is going to be the best. Actually the game is on my birthday, I think that this is actually the best birthday present I have ever gotten."
On when did he realize the game was on his birthday: "It was a commercial I heard, this was a while back, it was a promo or whatever and it said it was on January 30th and I was like 'Wow', and this was way back, and I just kind of put that in the back of my head and I thought, hey if I end up going to the Pro Bowl it would be playing on my birthday and it would be like I said definitely the best birthday present ever."

Social Sustainability Month: Screening of the documentary film "The Take"
Wednesday, November 2, 2011 - 2:00pm
Location: Women's Resource Center
The Take is a documentary film that focuses on workers of a ceramic floors factory in Neuquen, in Argentinian Patagonia. The factory at which these individuals worked was abandoned by the corporation and subsequently all the workers lost their jobs, not an uncommon story in this region. However, the workers banded together to occupy the factories and begin production for themselves thus beginning to rebuild their local economy. The Take is a story of empowerment, challenging globalization in favor of local economies. It is an inspiring story of people standing up to corporate giants and prevailing.

Dominant Chinese search engine Baidu quietly launched more of its international efforts with the help of a Singapore-based partner and their new website – Baidu International – and a Twitter account to start following people in the search industry.
The Twitter profile states it is "Baidu International, the trading name of China Search Int (CSI), a Baidu partner focused on helping companies access consumers through advertising on Baidu."
Last month the company branched out to Egypt and Thailand, in addition to their presence in China and Japan. Now it appears they are reaching further abroad, looking to get advertisers to buy paid search and "Brand Zone" advertising.
The site's Product and Services page explains the two. The Brand Zone looks to be similar to the banner ads above the results pages prevalent on early search engines. It could be interesting to see if these spots garner high click-through rates, given they charge by click.
The site explains:
"Brand Zone offers a unique opportunity for brands to advertise in China with Baidu. Brand Zone allows an advertiser to bid on certain, core brand related keywords, and when a consumer searches for these words, both text and graphical advertising units are served.
This ad-unit controls the top of the search results page and delivers huge brand impact and a significant increase in click traffic.
The only equivalent to this on other search engines would be returning multiple paid and natural results at the top of Google, along with a graphical advertisement when a consumer searched for your brand/products. The results are truly amazing. Search for major brands such as BMW, Mercedes, Hilton, Chanel and others and see the power of this ad-unit."
CSI is smart reaching out to search people to make them aware of the new venture. There are 1.3 billion people in China and according to the site with China's growing economic prosperity an "estimated 160 million Chinese consumers have already purchased products online. This number is projected to grow exponentially as online access becomes even more widespread in the coming years".
If you are marketing internationally this new site could be worth a look.

Future Launchers Preparatory Programme
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Future Launcher Preparatory Programme (FLPP) is a European Space Agency (ESA) programme that aims to mature technology for a "Next Generation Launcher" as a successor to the Ariane 5 rocket. The programme began in February 2004, and the NGL is foreseen to become operational around the year 2025. A secondary aim of the FLPP is to enhance the reliability and competitiveness of ESA launchers, including those operational as of 2012[update]. The technologies under development may lead to both improved evolutions of the Ariane 5 and to the development of the next generation launcher, the Ariane 6.

- 5 Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV)
- 6 Ariane 5 ME
- 7 Ariane 6

- 11 External links
The FLPP is expected to harmonise European launcher technology development activities and steer the restructuring of the European launcher industrial sector, optimizing the use of available resources, and leading to more cost-effective launchers.[1]
ESA was founded around a couple of purposes, one of them was safeguarding the independent access to space for Europe.[2] The development of technologies used on the Ariane 5 started already in 1977, while the first launch occurred in 1999.[3]
The privatization of the American space industry also urges ESA to advance their rocket technologies, otherwise ESA may lose its 50% market share in the GTO launch market.[original research?]
Programme planning[edit]
As of 2015[update] the FLPP programme contained three periods.[4][needs update]
- Period 1 (2004-2006): During this period they determined which technologies were needed for future rockets and they investigated how launch cost could be dropped.
- Period 2
- Step 1 (2006-2009): System studies, concepts, and an identification of evolutions to reduce costs
- Step 2 (2009-2013): Competition of studies, progress towards ground demonstrators (most notably Vinci 2), flight experiments
- Period 3 (2013-2018): After Ariane 6 decision programme develops key technologies and further integration between Ariane 6 and Vega
Programme outline[edit]
The Future Launchers Preparatory Programme (FLPP) is a collection of development programmes, whose main focus is technology development and testing.
The FLPP programme was divided in three Subprogrammes as of 2012, namely:[citation needed]
- Next Generation Launcher (NGL), a collection of launcher technology development programmes. It also contains an investigation of launcher concepts. For more info refer to the NGL chapter.
- Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV), the re-entry technology development programme.
- Ariane 5 ME (Mid-life Evolution), also known as Ariane 5 ECB. This is the technology application part of the FLPP and will be the first derivative of the FLPP programme.
The following chart offers an overview of the FLPP programme:
Next Generation Launcher (NGL)[edit]
The purpose of Next Generation Launcher (NGL) is to develop concepts and technologies for the next generation launcher. This rocket (family) will succeed the Ariane 5, and at the start of the programme it was supposed to get operational between 2015 and 2025.[citation needed] The NGL programme consists of three investigation topics:
- Launcher concepts
- Propulsion technologies
- Other technologies
Launcher concepts[edit]
At the start of the programme two design strategies were envisioned: The first was direct application of available technologies and launcher elements. It was called Building Block concepts, they could be operational by 2015. The second was named NGL and assumed that new technologies would be developed. Because of that these new technologies they would become operational between 2020 and 2025. The blue pages of the 150th ESA bulletin [5] named six concepts. Four of these have been described in a NGL status report [6] that was released in 2008. The following six concepts have been evaluated.
The concepts are described by some letters
P = Solid rocket stage
H= Liquid rocket stage
GG= Gas Generator engine cycle
SC= Stage Combustion engine cycle
B=??? most likely another rocket engine cycle.
This is a Building Block concept that is composed of three rocket stages. All are derived from current Ariane 5 and Vega components with minor modifications. The first stage is derived from the Ariane 5 solid rocket booster. It will use the Filament Wound technology developed for the three solid stages of the Vega rocket, and it will contain 250 tons instead of 240 tons of propellant. The second stage is derived from the P80 Vega first stage, but it will contain 110 instead of 88 tons of propellant. The third stage is actually the Ariane 5 ME (Mid-life Evolution also known as A5 ECB) upper stage. This configuration can deliver 3 tons to GTO, two or six 35 tons boosters can be added to boost the performance to 5 or 8 tons.[citation needed]
This is a NGL concept composed of two rocket stages. The first stage is a 150-ton LOX/LH2 liquid rocket stage that is propelled by a 2500 kN Stage Combustion engine. The upper stage also uses LOX/LH2, it will contain 26 ton of propellant and it will use the Vince expander cycle upper stage engine. The two-stage configuration can deliver 3 tons to GTO. With two or six 20-ton boosters the performance can be enhanced to 5 respectively 8 tons.[citation needed]
Like the HHSC configuration this will be a two liquid stage rocket that uses LOX/LH2. The difference is that the first stage will be propelled by a Gas Generator rocket engine with 2750 kN of thrust. For the same performances the first stage will need 170 tons and the upper stage will need 30 tons of propellant. The version with no boosters will deliver 2,5 tons to GTO, but the two or six 20 ton boosters will enhance the performance to 5 respectively 8 tons.[citation needed]
HBHSC & HBHGG[edit]
No information is available about these two concepts as of June 2012. The letters indicate that these concepts will have two liquid rocket stages. The first will use the Stage Combustion (SC) engine and the other the Gas Generator (GG) engine.
This system doesn't use the normal letter indication. This concept is also composed of two liquid rocket stages. The first stage will use 340 tons of LOX/CH4 with two 2650 kN rocket engines. The upper stage will use the Vince engine to burn 30 tons of LOX/LH2. The normal configuration will deliver 5 tons to GTO. With two 40 tons boosters the performance can be enhanced to 8 ton to GTO.[citation needed]
The conclusion from the 2008 report was that the HHSC concept was most promising.[citation needed]
Propulsion technology[edit]
To advance ESA's propulsion technologies the following experiments / development programmes are executed.[7]
VINCI is a new restartable Expander cycle upper stage engine. The development of this engine is nearly completed. Both the A5ME and most of the NGL configurations will use this engine for their upper stage.[citation needed]
Stage Combustion Rocket Engine Demonstrator (SCORE-D), Formerly HTE High Trust Engine. The aim of this programme is to develop new more powerful first stage engine. Two engine cycles are evaluated; Gas Generator (GG) and Stage Combustion (SC) cycle. This engine will provide ESA the capability to lift off a medium-sized launcher with a single engine and without the help of boosters.
The Pressure Oscillation Demonstrator – eXperimental (POD-X) experiment tries to advance ESAs knowledge about truss vector oscillation in solid rocket engines. This will help decreasing the vibration loads exerted by future ESA solid rocket stages.[citation needed]
Other technologies[edit]
ESA also advances technologies in the following five technology fields, that are necessary for launchers.[8]
- CURS (Cryogenic Upper Stage Technologies)[6]
- Materials
- Avionics
- Pyrotechnics
- Breakthrough Technologies (Densified propallents, Cryogenic tanks and feed-lines)
Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV)[edit]
The IXV programme will provide state of the art re-entry technology for Europe. During this project a reentry vehicle will be designed, built, tested and flown. The technology that is developed during this programme can be applied to develop reusable launch vehicles.[citation needed]
Ariane 5 ME[edit]
ESA was currently evaluating if they will upgrade the Ariane 5. The main modification will be a new upper stage that uses the Vinci rocket engine. This will be the first implementation of technology developed during the FLPP, because Vinci was developed within the scope of this programme. This new upper stage will be restartable four times and will burn cryogenic propellants (LOX and LH2).[9]
On 2 December 2014, ESA decided to stop funding the development of Ariane 5 ME and instead focus on Ariane 6 which should have a lower cost per launch and allow more flexibility in the payloads (using two or four P120C solid boosters depending on total payload mass).[10]
Ariane 6[edit]
Ariane 6 is a launch vehicle being developed by the European Space Agency to be the newest member in the Ariane launch vehicle family. ESA has finalised the preliminary design of the next generation rocket; a smaller more flexible rocket, featuring the same payload fairing diameter as the Ariane 5 ME and capable of launching a single satellite of 3 to 6.5 tonnes to a geostationary transfer orbit. The vehicle is a three-stage design in which the first stage uses three identical solid rocket motors in a side-by-side configuration, the second stage will use a single identical solid rocket motor mounted above the first stage, the third stage will be a restartable liquid cryogenic Vinci engine to allow for complex and high energy orbits.[citation needed]
Recent developments[edit]
In 2011 during the Space Access Conference the German aerospace company MT Aerospace presented an alternative future launcher vehicle family concept.
In November 2012 ESA will hold its next Ministerial Conference. During this event the ESA member states will determine which programmes they will support the coming 3 to 4 years. One of the main topics will be which launcher development programmes will be executed. So the next steps in the FLPP will be outlined then.
In 1st Quarter 2015 ESA reported that a precursor for Europeanised AVUM for Vega-C firing test campaign reached 53 successful firing tests. In September 2014 a Hybrid Propulsion Demonstrator campaign begun leading to two successful full thrust tests. Additional progress has also been made on several other demonstrators.[11]

Bitter Coffee – Guatemala
A people in the way of progress
Bitter coffee
Broken Promises
The Resettled
A new Danwatch investigation of Guatemala's coffee industry reveals serious problems with illegal child labour and signs of forced labour such as armed guards, debt spirals, and confiscation of ID papers. Pricey, high-quality coffee is apparently no guarantee against violations.
Read: Bitter Coffee – Guatemala
This investigation is the first of two parts of a journalistic investigation carried out in Kenya from March 2-11 2016, where ngo's, politicians, experts in land rights and indigenous peoples' rights and community members have been interviewed by an international collaborative team of journalists. Desk research, including data collection through Freedom of Information Act, research in this field as well as interviews with experts on human and land rights was conducted from December 2015 - May 2016. Partners in Lake Turkana Wind Power project have had the opportunity to be interviewed and furthermore comment on the findings of this investigation prior to the publishing date.
Read: A people in the way of progress
Danwatch travelled to Brazil's largest coffee-producing state, Minas Gerais, where half of Brazil's coffee is grown. We visited coffee plantations, interviewed coffee workers, trade unions, experts and local authorities.
Danwatch accompanied the police and the Brazilian Ministry of Labour and Employment on an inspection of a Brazilian coffee plantation where seventeen men, women and children were found to be victims of human trafficking and were freed from conditions analogous to slavery. Two children, ages 14 and 15, had also worked picking coffee on the plantation.

'Broken Promises' is a journalistic investigation based on desk research and expert interviews conducted in May 2015, and on field research in Tete province and Maputo, Mozambique, in June 2015. During field research, Danwatch interviewed several community members from the resettlements in Mualadzi and Cateme who blame mining companies and the government of Mozambique for not living up to the commitments they made in the community resettlement process from 2010 until the present. A documentary, 'Promised Land', was produced based on the findings from Mozambique in this report.

Shafiur Rahman is a Documentary Film maker. He has worked together with Danwatch on numerous stories.
Brazilian coffee is sprayed with deadly pesticides
In Brazil, coffee may be sprayed with pesticides that are illegal in the EU because they are acutely toxic and cause disease. Many workers apply pesticides without sufficient protective equipment, and pesticide poisoning is widespread. Even the drinking water contains traces of these dangerous pesticides.
You may be drinking coffee grown under slavery-like, life-threatening conditions
Brazil's coffee industry has serious problems with working conditions that are analogous to slavery, life- threatening pesticides and scarce protective equipment. Danwatch has confronted the world's largest coffee companies with the facts of these violations. Jacobs Douwe Egberts admits that it is possible that coffee from plantations with poor labour conditions ended up in their products, and coffee giant Nestlé acknowledges having purchased coffee from two plantations where authorities freed workers from conditions analogous to slavery in 2015.
Coffee workers apply pesticides without protection
Francisco Paulo Pereira used to apply pesticides on a coffee plantation in Minas Gerais in Brazil without protective equipment. Today he is very ill and cannot feel the ground when he walks. Hear him explain how he learned to use pesticide by reading the label on the bottle.
Coffe workers must sign blank documents
40-50 percent of coffee workers in Brazil are working without a formal contract giving them the right to pension and sick leave. Hear coffee worker Elisabete Vitor da Costa explain how she was forced to sign blank documents instead of an official contract during the coffee harvest in 2014.
Google grants Danwatch 50.000 euro for 'Open Supply Chain project'
Google Digital News Initiative has granted Danwatch 50.000 euro for the development of a mapping tool, Open Supply Chain, which will map the supply chain for products and make data transparent to consumers.

The check-in was available only after 3pm and I could not wait in the welcome room, I had to wait outside. It's necessary to pay to get sponge and detergent to clean the dishes and, at the same time, if you dont clean them, you have to pay a "fine", in other words, you are going to pay anyway if you want to use the kitchen.

text: Home » Oxygen Sensors » What Is The Function Of An Oxygen Sensor In An Automobile What Is The Function Of An Oxygen Sensor In An Automobile How many oxygen sensors are there in a Dodge Intrepid? Tags:Dodge, Dodge Intrepid, Oxygen Sensors Related Questions After You Replace An Oxygen Sensor Will The Check Engine Light Turn Off Automatically I just had the downstream oxygen sensor changed on my 2003 Monte Carlo and was wondering if the check engine light would turn off by itself eventually? Or do How Much Does It Cost To Replace The Oxygen Sensor In A Nissan Xterra I know the cost could vary depending on where you bring it to be done, so how many hours labor would it take? The "Service Engine Soon" code is Answers for The Question rick29148 The sensor 'sniffs' the exhaust & measures the amount of oxygen still in the exhaust. If there is too much O2, then there's not enough gas going into the engine. And if there's too little O2, well, you can guess. It's the best current way to get the right amount of gas into the engine, balancing power & pollution. Nick it measures oxygen in the exhaust. there are 3 if it is a v-6. One for each cylinder bank and one common after the catalytic converter. If any are bad, the check engine light will be on (I think you have the problem now or you would not have asked) and if you do not replace it, your fuel economy will go down badly. If you continue to drive it, you may foul spark plugs from running a rich mixture and you could load up the catalytic converter and plug it (they are very expensive). ?? Daniel??? the oxygen sensor mesures the level of unburned fuel in the exhaust. the power train control module (pcm) uses this information to adjust the fuel/air ratio to give optimal fuel economy/power/emissions. I think that car has 3,but not sure. bandit_60 a 02 sensor monitors the oxygen in the fuel and sends a signal back to the computer so it can adjust the mixture. you could have 2 of them.1 in the exhaust manifold and 1 in the cat.converter.

Harper's War on Science Gets Uglier
Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister of Canada, has become notorious for the way his government treats science. The latest news concerns the shutting of 7 of 9 regional DFO libraries across the country. Despite claims that the collections have been digitized, alarming reports are emerging that a lot of the materials, some dating back to the 19th century, were simply junked.
Canada's Siberian Expedition to Counter Bolshevism, 1919
On a wooded hillside outside Vladivostok, Russia, fourteen Canadians found their final resting place in 1919. Five others died at sea. They were ordinary folk who had enlisted in the closing days of the Great War for service in an unlikely theatre — Siberia. Consisting of 4,209 men and one woman, Canada's Siberian Expedition mobilized alongside a dozen Allied armies in a bid to defeat Lenin's Bolsheviks. The mission failed — in the face of a robust partisan insurgency, divided Allied strategies, and heated domestic opposition.This is their story, including over 2,000 photographs and images. Also available in French and Russian.

We're not so different
Who's influencing reproductive policy in Canada? Unfortunately, the difference between the religious right in Canada and our neighbours to the south is not so much doctrinal as it is window dressing. The Tea Party's "late term abortion" red herring with its attendant gruesome imagery very much parallels the "gender-selection" trope of the Conservative base in Canada. It's a matter of media and public relations, knowing your audience and playing to its sympathies.

I Just Hope Grapes Comes Through This Okay
In a deal worth $5.2-billion, Canadian media conglomerate Rogers has obtained broadcasting rights to NHL games across Canada for the next 12 years. While the NHL and its players appear to come out winners, the deal is a blow to Canada's other media conglomerate Bell, whose sports network TSN has lost all national NHL programming just five years after winning the rights to the iconic Hockey Night in Canada theme song from public broadcaster CBC, home to HNIC for over 60 years. As for the CBC, they will retain rights to broadcast games for four years in what president Hubert Lacroix described as a "partnership" where they will pay nothing, make nothing, and have no control over content. Considering HNIC is the only CBC English-language programming that consistently places in Canada's top 25 English TV shows and allegedly brings in up to 50% of its ad revenue and 30% of its audience, speculation regarding the future of a hockey-free CBC, last brought up during last year's NHL lock-up, abounds, with many characterizing it as a crisitunity for a clueless and complacent corporation.

"We don't understand what happened. Nobody really understands..."
For several months, bitumen from the Athabasca oil sands has been leaching out of the ground near Cold Lake, Alberta, so far amounting to roughly half of the oil leaked in the Enbridge-caused disaster in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Nearby sites of high-pressure steam injection used to extract the bitumen (and which is already associated with violent seismic activity in natural gas fracking operations) are suspected to have caused fractures that push bitumen "sideways" and out to the surface. As Vice reporter Sarah Berman notes, "The oozing leaks will continue until the underground pressure subsides. How long that will take is anybody's guess." While tons of contaminated vegetation and dead animals have been removed from the sites, access to the region and to government data by First Nation representatives has been repeatedly denied.

Charter of Quebec values to ban religious symbols for public workers
Today the government of the Canadian province of Quebec released its proposed charter of Quebec values.

How the Conservative Party in Canada got in bed with Gay Rights in two decades or less: The move allowed the Conservative government to poke a stick in Iran's eye, and help a genuinely in-need refugee constituency, all at one blow.

"When you're dealing with a country like Iran, gay asylum seekers are exactly the ones you want," says Mr. Raphael. "In general, these are precisely the people who you can guarantee don't support the Iranian regime back home. They're going to bring in a more secular, moderate perspective."

Never Tell A Canadian What He Cannot Do
John Morillo of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, will apparently not turn down a dare, even if it causes an international incident and racks up fines in the five figures. For instance, if you tell him he can't swim from Windsor to Detroit across a busy shipping lane, he'll do it (with the assistance of eight beers). And he'll swim back, too, as evidenced by the fact that the U.S. Coast Guard found him on the Canadian side. As Morillo said, "If I'm going to be in the paper, I'd at least like them to say I actually made it, even though I got in trouble and everything." [more inside]

The Maple Leaf, but not forever
Before the 1980 Act of Parliament which made O Canada the national anthem of Canada, the anthem was functionally God Save the Queen, but there was another patriotic song which served as the unofficial anthem: The Maple Leaf Forever. The song was written by poet Alexander Muir in October of 1867 to celebrate the confederation of Canada in July of that year and was famously inspired by a silver maple which stood in his front yard on Laing St in Toronto. Last night's storms brought the tree down, after a century and a half. [more inside]

A pattern seems to have emerged in which the ostensibly-independent Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (NIS) has been ordered to investigate journalists at the behest of Canadian Conservative Defence Minister Peter MacKay.
