In the EDITORIAL by this title, published in the May 28 issue (224:1287, 1973), this misstatement occurred in the second paragraph: "... nurses and physicians wear nonconductive shoes, and hospital floors are made of nonconductive material." Technical requirements for fire and explosion safety as related to electrostatic charges are, in fact, that the shoes and floor be conductive.
Furthermore, the last paragraph of the editorial refers to "polarity" as a problem in operating room electrical systems. As usually understood with reference to alternating current, polarity is not ordinarily checked or a matter of concern in isolated systems. Although consistency in wiring orientation is advisable for explosion-proof outlets, that consistency is rarely carried to connected equipment, and it is not prescribed by code.

Cook another 8-14 minutes on high.
If you use cream or half-and-half, cook it less time; milk takes more time.
Each microwave is different, so try a batch.
When the candy has cooked enough, it should be slightly thick.
Pour the candy out onto a buttered platter.
Let it cool for a few minutes.
Start beating the candy with a wooden spoon.
Continue beating until candy loses its shiny appearance.
Pour into a buttered 8 x 8-inch pan.

Additional changes to our order processes
In the light of your feedback and the release of Schema 9, we are improving how you order and receive OS data.
These changes will apply to customer orders of:
- OS MasterMap Topography Layer
- OS MasterMap ITN – Road Network
- OS MasterMap ITN – Road Network with Road Routing Information (RRI).
These changes will come in to effect when Schema 9 is released, and are detailed below.
1 Changes to files
1.1 Simplifying file names
DVD supply structure:
Online ordering (FTP) supply structure:
1.2 Removal of superfluous files
We are no longer supplying the following files:
- Care_of_Media.pdf
- mmfeedback.txt
- mmfeedback.htm
- newoslogo.jpg
- Readme.txt
Information currently in the Readme.txt file will now be found on relevant product support pages. The GML summary file will remain unchanged, as will the label information file (provided for DVD orders only).
1.3 Simplified order detail information
In future, your data order file name will remain consistent throughout the OS ordering and delivery process, making it easier to find.
For delivery via DVD:
The 'Order Index' and 'Disc Contents' files currently supplied will be combined into a single 'Order Details' text file. The Order Details file, gives high level order details such as the online reference and order number and will be identical on each DVD applicable to the order. It also lists all the data files delivered in your order and identifies which disc the files are on. For geographically chunked orders there will no longer be a list of chunks which are not supplied.
For delivery via FTP:
This single new file will replace the 'details' and 'directory' files currently supplied. The Order Details file, gives high-level order details, such as the online reference and order number, and lists all the data files delivered with your order. For geographically chunked orders there will no longer be a list of chunks which are not supplied.
1.4 Non-geo chunked files
The new fulfilment system is designed to give high levels of performance by using a new parallel processing technique. As a consequence, a greater number of smaller files may be produced for a given order area. As before, these non-geo-chunked files must be loaded into a database before use.
2. Consistent data file naming
We are changing our ordering system to support the consistent naming of OS data.
For 'geographically' chunked data, we will be removing the items in red: chunk size; complete, incomplete or empty; and the unique counter from the file extension:
So the new file name will include just order number and tile reference:
For 'non-geographic' chunked data, we will be removing chunk size from the file extension:
So the new file name will include just order number and tile reference:
3. Feature Validation Data Set (FVDS)
The Feature Validation Data Set (FVDS) lets OS MasterMap users verify their data holdings.It is a list of TOIDs with their corresponding version number and version date.We are improving the way you select and manage FVDS.
If you currently receive FVDS with your change-only update (COU) order, you will now receive this data as a separate order, delivered at the same time as your data order.
For new customers, when you initially take out your data contract, you can choose a format that includes FVDS. If you do so, a separate order for FVDS will be supplied.
Any existing customers who wish to receive an FVDS for their existing order will need to edit their holding via OS Orders and choose a format that includes FVDS. A separate order for FVDS will then be supplied.
There will be no changes to the actual data supplied other than the data file name changes already detailed in the above section on 'consistent data file naming'.
4. Fixed Grid
Until now, your OSMM data has been fulfilled by using a 'floating grid', controlled by your area of interest (AOI) polygon. If you never changed your polygon your data was always supplied with the same 1km references.
However, if you expanded or reduced your AOI, your data supplied would then have probably had a different set of 1 km references. This has long been a source of confusion for some of you. We are now moving to a 'fixed grid' which removes this issue and confusion.
Due to this change, the first time you receive your data from our fulfilment system, your 1km references are likely to change. This should not be an issue for you and from then on the 1km references will not change.
If you receive Managed Great Britain Dataset(s) you will notice no grid change or alterations to your current supply.
However, we are including additional coastal/offshore data. So for geographically-chunked orders, additional files will be supplied to include this data.
The new fixed chunking grid might mean that if your order area polygon lines up with edges of the underlying fixed chunk grid, you will also receive chunks for adjacent grid squares. This is because the order area intersects with the extra grid squares, even if only at a point or along a line.
For example, if you loaded a tile list of one 5km tile and this conformed exactly to the same 5km area used to choose the chunks, you could get a maximum of 8 addition chunks adjoining this single chunk. Any feature crossing the boundary would feature in each chunk and require deduplication.

Violet. What a lovely name.
Violet. What a lovely name.
I have never heard of Etta but I love it. I do like matilda but only because of the nickname millie. What does Etta mean and where does it originate?
Love the name Etta!

Sent from my LG-P500 using BubHub
Etta then violet
I like both Etta and Violet, but I think Etta is a very special indeed- classic simplicity.
Matilda, Violet and then Etta

The School of Media and Communication has evolved directly from the Centre for Media and Communication. The CMC was instituted in 2006 by the Pan-African University Council in recognition of the critical role of this sector in shaping societal values and cultural life. No less important, the contribution of the creative industries to economic growth and the GDP is gaining recognition as well.
Specifically, the establishment of the School of Media and Communication is informed by the aspiration to train professionals in this area of culture who would uphold the highest intellectual, ethical and professional values that promote creativity, critical knowledge, technical perfection, social responsibility, and the spirit of enterprise. The School's programmes will prepare students for careers in the creative industries, in business generally, and in various public and private domains.
MissionThe primary goal of the School of Media and Communication is the formation of media and communication professionals, to enable them pursue their calling of service to human cultures with a sense of creativity, skill, knowledge and values. We wish to contribute through our expertise to the professional excellence of the creative industries in our country and the continent of Africa.
VisionThe vision of the School is to be internationally recognized as a prestigious institution offering high quality education in communication and media; to be a reference point for research in Africa, and to be a leading centre of learning globally. It is expected that the level and high standard of the School will influence positively all other faculties of its nature across the country and the African continent.
The Advanced Writing and Reporting Skills (A.W.A.R.E.S.) is a programme that focuses not only on improving writing skills but also on facilitating proficiency in research as well as critical and cognate skills.
The course will be of particular benefit to persons who work in the media and in public relations or who aspire to enter these fields, but it is also beneficial to those who merely wish to improve their writing skills. Important components of the course include learning to make adequate use of the web to present one's work and the improvement of productivity through greater self-management.
In addition to the core writing modules, participants will have the chance of specializing in one of the three available writing streams:
The Creative Writing streamThe Creative Writing stream is a practical course and will run principally in a workshop format. It will deal with the nature of creativity and creative writing as well as explore ways that lead to the generation of ideas, the development of story lines and storyboarding, the development of character and atmosphere as well as thematic development.
The Business and Economic Writing streamThe Business and Economic Writing stream will provide adequate education in the requisites of business and economic reporting, and participants will develop skills to understand the discourse of corporate governance, financial markets, equity, privatization, and a wide range of macro and micro economic issues, as well as business practices. This stream will also highlight the creative trend of persuasive business communication with the use of the new informative technologies and tools to transform the stiffness in written communication.
The Reporting for the Media streamThe Reporting for the Media stream will focus on the essentials of reporting and will consider the various forms of reports. Participants will learn how to develop a creative sense for news and how to put together an effective story structure. The identification of angles, the targeting of readers and the planning of interviews are other topics that this stream will deal with.

This workshop is open to media and marketing communication practitioners up-to-date business platforms that will sharpen their competitive edge, strengthen existing revenue centres and increase their chances for sustainable growth as going concerns.

When goals are set and decisions are taken in any organizational setting, it often falls to different levels of managers, supervisors and team leaders to mobilize, motivate, direct, and work with other staff to achieve the set goals. But the communication and relational style adopted by managers could make a critical difference between failure and success. A brash and aggressive style could destroy social cohesion and team spirit in the work place, while a passive relational style could force the wheel of organizational efficiency grinding to a halt.
Assertive Communication Skills for Managers and Team Leaders
Assertive communication is motivational, goal-directed and effective because it begins with a respectful recognition of the essential worth and importance of every member of the working team.
The main aim of this seminar is to train managers and supervisors on the assertive and effective communication skills they need to build team cohesion and drive up staff effectiveness in the work place.
Other objectives are:
Topics to be covered include:
Methods of Delivery:
For Whom: Managers, Supervisors, Team Leaders, Business Owners, Public Relations and Marketing officials, Human Resource and Corporate Affairs officials, Departmental and unit heads, Principals/Proprietors of schools and Institutional heads, and anyone that actively communicates with others in the public domain.Date: 1 - 2 March 2012 Programme cost: N150, 000 per participant.

Profile of Lead Faculty:
Strategies for Optimizing Corporate Communication Skills
Strategies for effective corporate communication are changing as a result of the transactional nature of the business environment. Before now, corporate communication thrived with the traditional skills and competencies, but in today's turbulent socio-economic challenges, a new approach is required in the practice. A few salient questions - how are smart companies dealing with these challenges? How are they communicating with publics? What are forward-looking communicators doing now to position their company's brand for the anticipated recovery? In this new media world, what new roles should communicators play and how should their departments be reorganized?If you are groping with difficulties on any of these or related questions, then, the Strategies for Optimizing Corporate Communication Skills seminar of the School of Media and Communication will give answers to these and more. It will expound key issues in contemporary corporate communications. Essentially, participants will be equipped with the knowledge; skills and approaches that will enable them balance the often conflicting demands of communicating in definite terms to all parties.Significantly, at the end of the seminar, participants will have a holistic and practical approach to communication strategies that will enable them carry out their corporate communication functions. This combination of knowledge and practical skills will enable them to become effective communication professionals.
ObjectivesThe aim of this seminar is to train participants on the dynamics of developing effective communication platforms that will enable them maintain a sustainable communication structure. It will afford participants the opportunity to learn the skills of communicating effectively in all areas and other seemingly less important but necessary activities which will improve the growth of their business and corporate communication.

The National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.'s regulatory arm said today that it had fined the Hull Trading Company $500,000 for violating the rules of the Small-Order Execution System, or S.O.E.S.
N.A.S.D. Regulation Inc. said Hull had improperly used the system in an attempt to sell options related to the Nasdaq 100 and Russell 2000 stock indexes.
The S.O.E.S. is set up for individual investors to complete trades linked to stock-option expirations. It enables brokers and dealers to automatically execute orders of up to 1,000 shares, which are then automatically sent for clearing and reported to the Nasdaq Stock Market for public dissemination.
Hull, based in Chicago, neither admitted nor denied the allegations, but it consented to findings of facts and violations.
N.A.S.D. Regulation also censured Hull and suspended it from using S.O.E.S. as an order-entry firm for six months. Hull will have to revise its written supervisory procedures in the over-the-counter area of the firm, and for six months it must provide a report to the N.A.S.D. describing trading related to expiration of Nasdaq 100 and Russell 2000 options.
N.A.S.D. Regulation is separate from the Nasdaq stock market, the nation's second-largest stock market, which is also owned by the N.A.S.D.Continue reading the main story

That is the traditional view. Not many people know that throughout the 1980s and into the early 1990s Russia had over 60,000 people involved in a high-intensity programme of research, development and production of biological weapons - germ warfare in old money. Hundreds of tons of anthrax weapon components, along with dozens of tons of smallpox and plague were produced. It is frightening to speculate what the real scenario might have been.
Thankfully we no longer have to, because we won the Cold War. But, now that the threat to us is no longer a monolithic Communist edifice, nothing is clear-cut. Our potential enemies now include anyone who views the economic, financial, ideological and military domination of the world by a US-led West as less than desirable. Which is a lot of people.
And there is evidence to suggest that such people are building up ways and means to threaten our future. The most worrying of these is the explosion of bio-weapon programmes. Both the nature of bio-weapons and the industrial base needed to support their manufacture have several unique properties.
First the production of biological weapons agents requires neither special equipment nor advanced technology. It is relatively easy to start, stop and conceal the production of such weapons behind legitimate research programmes. Moreover the facilities used in the production of pharmaceuticals and pesticides are virtually identical to those required for bio-weapons. This dual use means that any attempts to halt proliferation through export technology bans would be futile. Any determined regime will succeed if it really wants a bio- weapons programme. There are more than a dozen nations succeeding today.
And it gets worse. Delivery of a bio-weapon does not require vast armed forces, nor even missile technology. It is possible to use ordinary people using ordinary devices, such as aerosol cans, or direct dumping into water supplies, to inflict massive casualties. Also, unlike their chemical and conventional counterparts, bio-weapons are, pound for pound, potentially many times more lethal. The bio-weapon has been dubbed "the poor man's nuke".
Perhaps the greatest strengths of the bio-weapons - plague, smallpox, anthrax, ebola and TB for example - is their pernicious double ambiguity. By this I mean that, because there is an incubation period for the diseases which is followed by initial symptoms of malaise that most GPs would recognise as flu, it may not be obvious for a while that an attack is either under way or has taken place. The second ambiguity is that even as the epidemic grips and spreads it might not even be clear who has carried out the attack especially if it has been done by a particularly clever and careful enemy.
The worst-case scenario is an entirely covert and apparently unprovoked attack on a single nation in the West. Without an obvious enemy the conspiracy theorists will immediately point to an error or accidental spillage by government scientists carrying out secret research. The films have been made. Bring back the Cold War and the shadow of nuclear winter, deterrence theory, trip wires and flexible response - all is forgiven. Those were the days - we knew exactly where we stood.

Despite the county line dividing Alabama's coastal community, it's still just that: one community. The Mobile Press-Register wanted to remind readers of the important role the paper plays in that relationship; to position themselves as the informational glue that helps hold the region together.
To accomplish this, we encouraged them to drop "Mobile" from the masthead, and created a campaign revolving around our new tagline: Rise Together. It positioned the paper as the common point of contact between hundreds of thousands of Alabamians—the one place they all began their morning together. The work also positioned the paper as a forward-thinking, digital-first news organization that would continue to evolve and adapt to the ever-changing media landscape.
