text: In 17th and 18th century New England, transplanted Englishmen like Daniel Read, Abraham Wood, and especially William Billings were composing beautiful but rough-hewn and distinctly American vocal music for use in what were called "singing schools." Far to the west and south, in what was then called New Spain and would later be called Mexico, natives and transplanted Spaniards were composing liturgical music of a richness and complexity that was worthy of the greatest cathedrals of Europe -- and teaching their native converts to do the same. This disc showcases the works of two of 18th century Mexico's finest composers: the Mexican-born Manuel de Zumaya and the transplanted European Ignacio de Jerusalem. The latter is represented by a polychoral Mass in D Minor, a responsory, and a gorgeous Dixit Dominus setting written in six sections; from the former listeners have a setting of Jeremiah's lamentations, a breathtakingly complex solfeggio composition titled Sol-fa de Pedro, and the polychoral Celebren, Publiquen. Accompanied by an ad hoc period instrument ensemble dubbed the Chanticleer Sinfonia for this album, Chanticleer does its usual job of effortlessly and thrillingly bringing this music to vivid life, and the recorded sound could hardly be brighter and richer. This is one of Chanticleer's finest and most satisfying albums. ~ Rick Anderson

text: IF the Duterte administration wants to improve tax collection, local economists said it would take more than just the Presidents popularity to encourage Filipinos to pay their dues. Internal Revenue Commissioner Caesar R. Dulay earlier told the BusinessMirror that the Presidents popularity can be used to encourage taxpayers to voluntarily file their taxes. However, economists, like Ateneo de Manila Eagle Watch senior fellow Dr. Alvin Ang, believe this is not enough, since taxes are emotional for Filipinos and the process involved is very complicated. Tax is an emotional issue to people as it touches on income. Its better to fix the agencys processes and simplify them, Ang said. Not many want to pay their taxes, but if the BIR [Bureau of Internal Revenue] simplifies their processes, maybe more will be encouraged. Filipinos who need to pay taxes are forced to pay, but they encounter difficulties in paying, so they resort to illegal means, he explained. Ang said the process of paying taxes should be simple enough that even sari-sari store owners (micro retailers) who want to pay taxes can do so without encountering difficulties. Simplifying processes can also help improve tax effort, which, Ang said, is currently pegged at around 15 percent. He also estimates that less than 40 percent of those working and earning incomes are paying taxes. He added that improving the tax effort should, in fact, be the focus of the administration, especially since the Duterte administration wants to cut tax rates. University of Asia and the Pacific School of Economics Dean Cid Terosa added that tax-collection efficiency and tax-monitoring efficiency should be given focus. Currently, Ang said the BIR does not even have sufficient data, such as those needed to determine how much tax is being generated from working Filipinos per capita. This is part of tax-monitoring efforts that need to be improved. I believe President Dutertes popularity can provide momentum or inertia, but the task of raising tax revenues will require more than that. I believe that raising tax-collection efficiency and tax-monitoring effectivity should be pursued vigorously, he added. Terosa also said it would also do well to focus on improving the tax collection among high- and middle-income Filipinos. I think the focus should be on the high- and middle-income classes. Our middle-income class isnt big enough to shoulder the burden of financing government, he added. In April the World Bank said the next administration needs to overhaul the tax system to plug the countrys inclusive growth investment deficit of P900 billion. In a report, the World Bank said the Philippines needs to increase its investment in the infrastructure and social services sectors to 6.8 percent of GDP. The government, the World Bank said, must also index tax rates and valuations to inflation, particularly the petroleum excise taxes and property valuations. In a recent forum, experts from the Philippine Institute of the Development Studies (PIDS), the Department of Finance and Tax Management Association of the Philippines agree that the countrys tax system needs to change. The countrys personal-income tax (PIT), specifically, has not been updated since the 1997. This has resulted in what is called bracket creep, where low-income taxpayers hurt more than their high-income counterparts. Bracket creep, PIDS senior research fellow Rosario G. Manasan explained, has occurred because of the non-indexation to inflation of PIT brackets. This means that the coverage of each tax bracket does not take into consideration the current value of the peso.Author: Cai OrdinarioDate: August 01, 2016Source: Business Mirror

Axe-murder accused Henri van Breda's pre-trial conference was postponed to February 3 in the Western Cape High Court on Friday
He is currently on bail of R100 000 in the triple murder case.
Van Breda, 21, is accused of the brutal murders of his parents and brother, and the attempted murder of his sister in 2015.
He allegedly used an axe to murder his mother, Teresa, his father, Martin, and his 22-year-old brother Rudi at the luxury home where they lived in the De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate.
His teenage sister Marli survived the attack, but required emergency surgery. She has since made a full recovery.
On Friday Van Breda's legal team requested more particulars from the State which resulted in the postponement.
Van Breda is reportedly a tik addict and was arrested for drug possession in September. He was released on R1 000 bail in that matter.

Our clients consist of major energy concerns, national and international oil and gas companies, large shipping entities, insurers, financial institutions and project developers.
Maritime matters are critical to the successful planning and execution of global energy projects as well as commodity-based transactions, whether involving crude oil, finished or intermediate petroleum products or liquefied natural gas (LNG). Eversheds Sutherland's Energy and Environmental Group has the experience and capabilities to address such maritime matters in multiple settings.
Our areas of experience include:
Eversheds Sutherland lawyers have substantial experience in drafting and negotiating charter party terms under many different scenarios, including bareboat, time and voyage charters. For example, we have advised regarding the amended Shelltime 4 charterparty as well as other "house" forms, and the development of StatoilTime1 charterparty and voyage orders for LNG vessels. We also have negotiated and drafted long-term, dedicated, tug service contracts at several LNG terminals.
Efficient vessel operations are critical to optimizing the value of energy project assets, including accounting for port regulations, terminal access and offloading procedures, coordination with other vessels as well as marine support services and various product-specific considerations. Eversheds Sutherland has extensive experience negotiating and drafting the rules and contracts that maximize the value of the subject energy assets, including prominently for multi-user LNG facilities.
Eversheds Sutherland has assisted companies in developing detailed vessel and barge vetting programs, and the systems to implement such programs to maximize safety and to minimize the risk of liability as a result of a spill or other incident. We have assisted companies in developing careful protocols to assess any risks associated with the chartering of specific vessels for particular purposes around the world.
Our team is experienced in representing companies with respect to agreements for the provision of marine services to product vessels, such as tugs and barge services contracts. We have negotiated complex agreements for the sharing of such services among multiple users of a port or terminal under various use scenarios, including agreements for the construction and operations of tugs, barges and other vessels.
For nearly 20 years, Eversheds Sutherland lawyers have worked closely with a number of multinational clients to develop and update internal programs to minimize the risk of oil and LNG spill liabilities for cargo owners and vessel charterers. We have made such assessments for most U.S. states, and with the aid of an international network of local firms, have provided similar advice with respect to some 100 countries. Our databank, knowledge and capabilities in this area are unmatched.
Our lawyers are very experienced in representing clients in the event of a vessel or terminal emergency, including participating in or conducting many oil spill exercises. We also advised cargo-owner clients in connection with spill events in the United States and in Europe. We have assisted clients in developing, documenting and updating emergency response plans.
Eversheds Sutherland's lawyers have significant experience in addressing compliance with various environmental, health and safety issues associated with marine transportation, particularly in North America. We have conducted exhaustive evaluations of the risks and gaps of employing a single set of compliance standards throughout different jurisdictions (for example North Sea standards in the Gulf of Mexico).
Our lawyers, particularly in London, regularly act for all the major P&I Clubs and have had significant experience—both as in-house and outside counsel—in representing shipowners and charterers in P&I and FD&D matters through the Clubs and directly. This includes assisting with insurance coverage and related issues.
Our lawyers handle international trade, regulatory and transaction tax matters affecting the trading of refined petroleum products and other energy commodities. We also have unique experience in addressing various customs issues in connection with the importation and exportation of petroleum products (mainly in the United States). In addition, we have capabilities in advising clients regarding laws that require use of domestically constructed or owned vessels for certain purposes (e.g., the U.S. Jones Act).
Our team has extensive experience in representing clients in maritime disputes, both in court and before arbitration panels. In England, lawyers at the firm have engaged in many court cases and arbitrations over the years, involving diverse maritime issues. These range from all aspects of shipping/commodities litigation, including charterparty, bill of lading, sales contract, towage, offshore and marine insurance disputes conducted in the English High Court as well as LMAA, GAFTA, FOSFA, LCIA and ICC arbitration. In the United States, we have tried to verdict more than 100 maritime cases in state and federal courts in Texas, Louisiana and New York, and have handled many matters in arbitration and before administrative tribunals. In the traditional "blue water" maritime area, we have handled many cases involving the Carriage of Goods By Sea Act (COGSA), charterparty disputes and vessel seizures, as well as regulatory issues before the Minerals Management Service (MMS) and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Eversheds Sutherland is an international law firm helping the Fortune 100, industry leaders, sector innovators and business entrepreneurs solve their biggest challenges and reach their business goals. Dedicated to unfaltering excellence in client service, we are known for our business savvy and industry intelligence, providing creative and custom solutions for each of our clients.

Thursday - we arrived at our boutique hotel Nesbitt Castle, it's a gothic folley and architecturally quite mad. Back in the day the whites obviously had way to much time and money. We dropped our bags and headed off to the Khami Ruins. They are similar to Great Zimbabwe just not as spectacular, never the less it was a good afternoon with lots of …
Rhino Reserve
... br>
Each rhino has its own body guard and they have a shoot to kill policy here, even if they arent after rhino, there are plenty of other animals in the reserve, this is usually what the poachers are after, the rhinos have all had the horn cut back, but it grows about 4 inches a year, so has to be done on a regular basis, they havent lost a rhino in quite some time, but the last poacher was shot 6=7 weeks ago, so things are working out in the rhinos favour
Old paths and old trains
... at around 1:20 pm, a freaking miracle I raced off the train and was greeted by a taxi driver who took one of my bags and we hopped down off the platforms and crossed the tracks to the main exit for the station where his car was waiting. He brought me to bus office near the city hall and I managed to get my ticket changed to the bus about to leave for no fee!
I hopped straight on the bus and settled down for what was going to be a long ride back to Johannesburg.

In our teachings we're both monistic and theistic. In the beliefs of Saivism the idea of the three worlds is the basis and key to understanding temple worship, theism. The inner worlds are there to help you. The essence of the soul is already the same as the essence of God Siva, monism. You just have to find it.

Assuming that he has web access, Mohammed Emwazi, the British Islamic State militant revealed last week to have featured in several terrorist videos, would be able scan headlines last summer to learn what his nickname could have been. On 21 August, the day after the film circulated showing the killing of James Foley, the journalist's masked murderer was called variously "The Beatle", "The Ali G Jihadi", "John the Executioner" and "Jailer John". But only one name would stick.
"Jihadi John" first featured the same morning inside the Irish edition of the Daily Mail, and later in the London Evening Standard, before being promoted to the front page of the UK Daily Mail the next day. Since then, it has gained such global currency that media outlets including the BBC have persisted in using it even days after the public revelation of the terrorist's real name. Yesterday's newspapers featured the words "Jihadi John" in 11 headlines, and "Emwazi" in four.
Clearly the nicknaming of notorious criminals is a minor issue compared to their deeds or threat, just as the media's demand for catchy shorthand is obvious. But how much does language matter, or even fuel the potential growth of that threat? Would Scarface have inspired generations of gangsters had he been known as Alphonse Capone, the school dropout son of an Italian immigrant barber? What about Carlos the Jackal, "Mad" Frankie Fraser or the "rippers" Jack and Yorkshire?

5/5 Criminals and their nicknames
Jihadi John
"It's about creating a mythology and the name is a big part of that," says Raffaello Pantucci, a counter-terrorism researcher at the Royal United Services Institute. "[Emwazi] was never masked to shield his identity – he must have expected to be identified at some point – but to create the myth of the faceless butcher, the avenging hand of Isis. The nickname plays into this to create a cartoonish figure."
"Jihadi John" was the neatest of those early tags but, apart from the lack of a real name, what inspired it? Not Emwazi. The Londoner was one of four Isis terrorists who kept foreign hostages. Their number and British accents led one or more of the hostages to call them "The Beatles", and their leader "John". (Ringo Starr needlessly responded last year: "What they are doing out there is against everything The Beatles stood for." It is not known what Justin Bieber thinks about the nicknaming of Mohammed Hadi, a boyish reported Isis recruit from Coventry, as "Osama bin Bieber".)
Whatever the origins of "Jihadi John", Pantucci, author of the new book We Love Death as You Love Life: Britain's Suburban Terrorists, says the caricature of extremists can boost a mythology that appears to attract Isis recruits. "The link is clearer with battlefield names such as Hamza," he explains. The imprisoned cleric Mustafa Kamel Mustafa adopted the name Abu Hamza or "son of the lion hunter" only to be called "Hook" by the British press. "But the most obvious example is 'lone wolf' terminology. If you look at online forums you see people want to be lone wolves, because it sounds cool and predatory. They play up to it, which is why governments prefer 'lone' or 'solo actor'."
"Quotidian everyman names" can be a way to "diminish monstrousness", says Simon Cottee, a senior lecturer in criminology at Kent University. He also cites "Terry Taliban", and "Tommies", while wondering if Emwazi would appreciate his nickname. "In his mind he's a warrior, not a banal John," he adds.
Other terrorists prefer to choose their nicknames, or embrace those given to them. Younes Tsouli, a British man imprisoned eight years ago for inciting terror online, called himself Irhabi 007, or "Terrorist 007". Professor Andrew Silke, director of terrorism studies at the University of East London, cites Northern Ireland, when, for legal reasons, the media could not name the loyalist terror leader Johnny Adair. When a reporter called him "Mad Dog", he loved it, later nicknaming his own baby son "Mad Pup". "It implied values about what he was like, and how dangerous he was, adding to his aura," Silke says. "When you have a name like that, there is a danger it also attracts people."
Marc Sageman, a forensic psychiatrist and counter-terrorism consultant, and former CIA officer, says that reductive descriptions can be more than flattering. "Words have power and when you think of a person as a nickname, it reduces him to a unidimensional entity," he says. "It obscures the more complex person behind it, and [in this case] gives the illusion that Jihadi John was the same entity as he was when he was born, as if he were born evil.
"Look at today's headlines," Sageman adds. "His headmaster said that he was a hardworking student. Well, that doesn't fit with Jihadi John, so it is presented as a puzzle. It's not a puzzle. Many people who go on to become violent were hardworking when they were young because they are human beings. Jihadi John becomes someone we have to kill rather than understand. If we try to understand him, we might be able to do something."Reuse content

Once upon a time, a long time ago, I was a volunteer digger for Cardiff University's archaeology department and somewhere out there is a tiny, perfect glass vessel, from a pit at the Roman fort under Cardiff Castle, with my fingerprints on it. I'm certain the prints remain because they had to prise it out of my hands; I had never seen anything so lovely. Forward through time and careers unrelated to archaeology to volunteering at GGAT from October 2015. My work is with GGAT's Historic Environment Record (HER), populating the database that provides information on archaeological sites, excavations, buildings etc, etc, etc throughout South East Wales. I understand GGAT has around 25,000 records of archaeological interest but no one expects you to do them all yourself! It's absorbing work, tricky enough at the start to really engage your interest but, as Charina and Calli (look them up on the website) are really gifted trainers, straightforward enough for you to realise very quickly that 'I can do this'. And they are clever because once you start thinking, 'I've certainly got the hang of this process', they come up with something new to catch your interest all over again. And it's also perfect work for the inquisitive, I nearly said nosy, because it's all about our area. On top of that the staff at GGAT clearly love what they do. I will never forget the excitement of GGAT's Outreach Officer (special interest: military remains in 20th century) when a member of the public rang in to say that he'd located, using digital photography, a cross on a field near the coast that had been used for aircraft direction finding in WW2. Seems the Outreach Officer had known there should be one and never found it and suddenly there it was. Enthusiasm is catching and, as we listened to the increasingly optimistic, if one sided, phone conversation, everyone in the office started dashing to their computers to try to locate it. I think you might have enjoyed/ will enjoy it here yourself.

Lauren's A2A experience
My time at GGAT has allowed me to experience a sector of the profession I had no previous knowledge of. Understanding procedure surrounding planning permission, the relationship between companies and archaeologists and the situations in which different report types are needed is invaluable to aspiring archaeologists. Volunteering with such an established and wide reaching archaeological trust has given me knowledge and experience I could not have received from university funded digs alone. I feel as though I have gained an understanding of modern archaeology that goes deeper than just excavation.
Furthermore, I was really impressed with the project's commitment to public engagement with local archaeology and community. It was interesting for me, having spent a lot of my childhood in the area, to discover the archaeology of the region and assisting in making this information available to the public is something I became very passionate about.
I very much enjoyed developing my IT skills and improving my knowledge of the database workings in such a supportive and knowledgeable environment. Some of my favourite challenges were those where I followed development of the sites through several reports and this gave me a major insight into the process of archaeological involvement in building projects.
James's A2A placement
Where to begin? My name is James, and I recently completed my one-month placement, on the fantastic Access to Archaeology Project at GGAT. I am currently working towards achieving a BSc (Hons) in Archaeology, at Truro and Penwith College, Cornwall. I volunteered for this placement to gain valuable archaeology related work experience, which will no doubt benefit my future career prospects.
I was feeling nervous on my first day, but Calli and Charina were so welcoming and friendly, I quickly felt at ease. I received a step by step walk-through of how to use the HER system, from the ever so helpful HER team. Equipped with my new found confidence, I managed to get to grips with the archaeological reports, and progressed into more varied records.
I must also highlight the friendliness of the fellow volunteers in the HER office. It was a pleasure to attend the placement in the company of such knowledgeable, and pleasant people. Therefore, I would highly recommend the Access to Archaeology Project to any interested parties.

Medicago Taps Cellectis to Boost Therapeutic Protein Production in Tobacco Plants
Medicago and genome-engineering firm Cellectis plant sciences are collaborating on a project focused on using the latter's nuclease technology to improve the expression of therapeutic proteins in tobacco leaves.
Cellectis claims its nucleases enable the modification of protein glycosylation patterns in plants with extreme control and uniformity.
The technology can be applied to optimize protein characteristics including solubility, therapeutic half-life, tissue distribution, and protein interactions. The firm established its plant sciences subsidiary in 2010 to apply its technology specifically for plant engineering. The partnership with Medicago will harness nucleases to generate an array of specific glycoprotein variants, from which the best candidate will be selected for production using Medicago's plant-based manufacturing technology.
"We look forward to working with Cellectis plant sciences to assess their nuclease technology for use in our ongoing work to develop biosimilar products," says Louis-Philippe Vezina, CSO of Medicago. "This tool has the potential to hasten the expansion of our platform towards theproduction of a wider range of therapeutic proteins including biosimilars and complement our existing tools for the control of glycosylation."
Vaccines firm Medicago is exploiting its Proficia™production technology as an alternative to current egg-based and cell-based vaccine production systems. The platform uses whole living plants as a flexible vaccine and antibody production system. The firm's clinical pipeline includes vaccines against pandemic H5N1 and seasonal H1N1 influenza.

Worlds First Gravity Powered Lightbulb
A team of engineers from the UK have invented the worlds first lightbulb powered by the force of gravity.
The device, named GravityLight, relies on a small amount of weight to be applied to it on one end, which then acts as a pulley – giving the user around 20-30 minutes of light.
Sciencealert.com reports:
The team is now crowd-funding the second version of GravityLight on Indiegogo, with the hope that they can raise US$199,000 in order to make their light brighter, longer-lasting and easier to use.
The light itself will only cost around US$10. This is a whole lot cheaper than kerosene lamps, which not only pose a high fire risk and spew out carcinogens, they also burn through about 30 percent of a family's income, according to the GravityLight team.
GravityLight will be initially targeted to families in developing countries, with an initial focus on Kenya, and the team is hoping to provide local jobs by creating and selling the lights over there.
Of course, the best thing about gravity is that it's free (well, that, and the fact that it stops us all from floating off into space), so once the initial investment has been made, the lights literally cost nothing to run. We love it when people use simple science to help solve global problems.

Create a Snow Globe in Photoshop
Continuing with the snow theme from my last tutorial I thought I'd show you a neat way of creating a snow globe from a photo.
Step 1.
Open up your photo, I used one from Here.
Step 2.
Select the elliptical marquee tool and while holding the Shift key draw a perfect circle around part of the photo, make sure you don't go over the edge as you don't want hard edges in this.
Step 3.
Promote this to a new layer by pressing control / command & J. With the selection still in place (or by holding control & clicking the thumbnail) select the Spherize Filter (Filter>Distort>Spherize). Select mode to Normal and amount the 100%.
Step 4.
Hide the background layer leaving only the newly created sphere. You can now also remove the selection by pressing Control / Command & D. we want the edges of the sphere to be lighter than the middle so add a Hue / Saturation Adjustment Layer above the sphere layer and increase the lightness.
Step 5.
Select a soft edge brush and set the foreground colour to black, paint away the middle part of the globe leaving only the edges.
Step 6.
Change the foreground colour to white and add a new layer. We want to add a curved stripe to add as a reflection, the easiest way to do this is to select the pen tool and change the options to Path. Next create a curve using the pen on the left hand side, finally right click on the line with the pen tool still selected and select stroke path. From the menu select brush and tick simulate pressure. Lower the Layer Opacity to 30% so it appears opaque.
Step 7.
Using the same snow brush as the last tutorial (http://rev-jesse-c-stock.deviantart.com/gallery/2871855#/d13avtz) and add some random snowflakes on a new layer.
Step 8.
Finally using the pen tool and with the options set to shape layer make a stand for the globe. I made a very basic one – but feel free to add more colours or gradients to make it look real.
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial 😀

Palestinian officials, frustrated by the deadlock in peace talks, announced yesterday that they would seek a UN Security Council resolution recognising an independent Palestinian state.
Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, told Israel's army radio that Palestinians were "fed up with your time-wasting". He did not give a time frame for the resolution, but said that the state would be along the 1967 armistice lines, with east Jerusalem as its capital — territory inhabited by more than 500,000 Jewish settlers.
Such moves would put the US in a quandary. Washington has tradition-ally cast its veto in the Security Council against

- Transitions of category memberships, and the constitutive force of spatiality and temporality in the production of (im)possibilities (submitted)
- Abstract:
- This chapter will illustrate how attention on temporality and spatiality is fruitful in the analysis of 'the lived everyday' in which category memberships (Davies and Harré, 1990) are constituted through complex intersections of multiple socio cultural categories. The chapter will begin with a short introduction of the empirical case followed by a presentation of key theoretical analytical concepts; subjectification, intersectionality, spatiality. The empirical case is then taken through a first analytical 'move' with intersectional analysis, and a second analytic move with a temporal- followed by a spatial perspective.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in '2008 Archive' started by windcatcher, Apr 15, 2008.
This is not supposed to happen here, right?
There are green lights in my area that don't hold for more 10 seconds if that. The only way you can make it through the lights is to be right there when it changes.
Six US cities tamper with traffic cameras for profit
Six U.S. cities have been found guilty of shortening the amber cycles below what is allowed by law on intersections equipped with cameras meant to catch red-light runners. The local governments in question have ignored the safety benefit of increasing the yellow light time and decided to install red-light cameras, shorten the yellow light duration, and collect the profits instead.
Why am I not surprised? :BangHead:
In the case of Dallas, it was tied in with a crackdown on red light busters.
Lot's of money!!
Wal-mart sells stop watches for about $7. Time the amber lights for yourselves. Report the results to the list and your local paper. In Seattle on a 30 MPH street the amber is 7 seconds, as I recall.
That's called greed. Last time I checked that's a sin.
They will be punished for their greed. :saint:
I was apalled when I read these findings.... although I visit another forum regarding logistics, where such has been suspicioned for some time.
When I think of the accidents which occur due to sudden stops:
When I think of the severity of an accident cross wise in an intersection....often deadly:
When I think that local officials had to have known or at least be responsible for knowing that a reasonably timed yellow warning of caution to alert motorist with variable reflexes and braking applications for completion of a safe stop....was deliberately altered just for the revenue: it saddens me deeply the disregard for life and fairness, and law....... and trust that is broken by these 'public' 'servants.'
Seems to me there's a huge lawsuit coming for the right crash circumstances.
:thumbs: Sounds like a good Lawyer could assemble a class action and win if this is true...
Who are "they" that will be punished? The cities? which includes those making the complaints about the situation? The era of the gospel is more individual than that. Besides, greed is the basis of the whole thing here-- greed is what motivates drivers to keep going at the yellow light even if they know they could safely stop. And certainly it's greed that compels them to speed up, knowing the light will be red by the time they enter, as most of us probably see (if not do) on a daily basis. But because of our brainwashing that this amounts to "fudging the rules for convenience" instead of the greed that it is, there is this inclination to attack the rules themselves or the means of enforcing them.
In the city in which I work, there is about a 2-second delay between when an E-W light goes red to when the N-S light goes green because drivers ignore the meaning of the yellow, and still there are collisions beause of running reds.
>When I think of the accidents which occur due to sudden stops:
Traffic code calls this "following to closely." There is little excuse for running into the car in front.
Running a red light is stupid as well as breaking the law.....provided you had a yellow light on which you could have safely stopped.
Yes, you are correct in your observation, that at some intersections the change of light from red to green is delayed .....because studies at that or similarly busy intersections have taught the civil engineers the DOT and DMV, that it is safer to delay already stopped traffic for the violations of the approaching traffic: Unfortunately, local people become 'enlightened' to these artificially delayed signals,.... or the fast short yellow, and start anticipating and jumping the signals. So, unnecessary delays of traffic by signals, actually contributes to the disrespect of the signals by some motorists. Whether this is 'greed' or not.... it certainly is reckless and thoughtless behavior on the part of impatient motorist.
Please have patience and follow my understanding... based upon about 40 years of accident free driving which also includes 13 months of solo driving an 18 wheeler (combination) vehicle with 53 foot trailer and air brakes.
Upon your approach to a lighted intersection, the light goes from green to yellow. Your approach was at the posted speed: You are an average, healthy individual with normal response times, no distractions, and vehicle with good brakes in proper adjustment:
From the moment the light turns yellow..... There is the speed at which it registers in your mind, plus the time it takes to make a decision (what we consider is 'instant' still has a process of time), the time for muscle and movement response in your leg to apply the brake, the pressure with which it is applied, the response of the brakes to your application and their effectiveness against the drums etc.... to stop your vehicle... the response of wheel traction and resistance to the pavement of the road.
Now add in variables of increased weight.... requires greater safe stopping difference usually, conditions of road..... wet roads for example decrease traction between rubber and road...increasing stopping time/distance. Now add in other likely and common variables that commonly affect even 'good alert' drivers... looking for an address, trying to maintain flow with traffic, pedestrians and other 'eye candy' for which your awareness is demanded..... for they present a potential hazard and unpredictablity to your safe transverse... a passenger in your car asking a question, a cell phone ringing.....even if you choose not to answer. All of these might 'tell' the seasoned safe driver to go a little slower....even if others around blow horns and show impatience.
But getting back to that yellow light: From the moment it comes on and a driver is first able to respond.... to the time when it goes red..... should allow for a normally applied and safe stop with moments to spare before it turns red. If the yellow light is timed too short for a normal response and safe stop except under the most ideal circumstance.... then it is timed too short to expect it to safely control the traffic in the intersection......
And, remember, intersections are not just for cars and trucks.... it is also for the safe crossing of pedestrians.
Unfortunately, this article gives no details....i.e. a driver cited under a defectively timed light.... does he get the points removed from his driving record? A return of extra premium charged by his auto insurance? Is this information part of the disclosure in a accident investigation..... or dependant on a good lawyer or investigator to uncover?
Remember..... as a motorist, you are expected to obey all traffic signs and signals... That means these signs are expected to correctly inform you. Those who regulate these signs will show you no mercy if you disobey (violate) any but the most blatant misrepresentation.
In truck driving, I used some techniques which many motorist are unaware.
I learned to observe the behavior of all motorist around me and be aware of their position and any signals of intention which they might give me..... like looking over their shoulder as for a clear lane to move in, giving a turn signal, showing a solid brake light..or tapping brake lights. I learned to look well ahead.... a mile or more on the open interstate and use my peripheral vision to alert me for movement on both sides of truck. Keep eyes moving side to side, near and far.... prevents tunnel vision and sudden surprises... and increases the visual field including picking up peripheral movement.
When approaching a lighted intersection, whether city or urban highway, anticipate the possible turning of a light. An aging green light with traffic stopped at either side on red... is almost a dead give away the light will change to yellow..... anticipate and start slowing down...or at the least, don't continue to excelerate thinking you'll make it before it goes yellow.
Know your vehicle....and its response, loaded and unloaded, and learn from variable road and weather conditions. If it should happen that a light goes yellow and one is already too near the intersection for a safe stop..... recognize that point of no return where your only safe choice is to proceed through the intersection: If there are pedestrians standing on the edge of curb, or other traffic approaching perpendicular to your path.... recognize that IF the light changes from yellow to red as you're passing through... the use of your warning signals (i.e. flashing head lights, blowing horn) may be all the warning you have to tell them your course is 'committed' to prevent them jumping into your path: Once 'committed' you have little other choice. (Remember, 'committed' doesn't mean you refused to respond to the yellow.... just that you are too close to obey it to a safe stop without entering or crossing the intersection.)
The timing of the yellow light, with respect to the posted speed for the road.... is everything.... if its purpose is to make the intersection safer for all traffic. Its use is to control and manage traffic safely, and prevent offenses ..... not increase offenses and obtain revenue.
After 30 years a police officer I concluded that the over the road commercial drivers are the best on the road - Canadians excepted <G>.
Question billwald:
Many years ago, 50's-mid 70's mostly, it seemed to me that the semi jockeys were the safest & most courteous on the road.
Then for a period of time - after those trucker movies that were the eighteen wheeler versions of "Hell's Angels" - they sorta became the bullies of the highway for a spell.
Now it seems that they are back to being "the good guys" again.
My question is, am I correct (more or less) in these observations, or have I just imagined these fllip-flops?
Only on the freeway.
In city traffic, many other drivers and and many other types of truck drivers are far superior.
As an average driver my experience has been that they switch lanes like they are at the Indianapolis 500, push you off the road so they can switch lanes with no prior indication, drive at excessive speeds even in inclimate weather.
If you see a truck driver driving reckless, report him to company safety. But be honest and careful with your assessment. That 1 or 2 reports may be all it takes to remove a driver from the road and employment. Most careless truck drivers get reported by other truck drivers who want the creeps and careless off the roads: Every bad truck driver, represents to the other truck drivers another black eye on the industry, an additional potential accident statistic, another example to fuel the anti-truck----got to regulate more---got to slow them down, crowd.
BTW, if a truck driver gives a turn signal for a lane change... he doesn't do it for fun or because he likes to change lanes... he does it for the same reasons you do: he needs that lane. A turn signal is to signal intention. It is not meant to be a signal for lane competition nor for your permission. Why does he signal?...... either to get in position for an exit ramp or road split.... or because a sign requires 'all trucks over...go to the right lane' .....or because he needs to pass to maintain speed and prevent overtaking slower traffic in his lane.
You don't like to slow down and follow slow pokes... well that truck driver resented for moving to pass, who obstructs your view, has his life on the line for the moves he makes also... and is constantly having to balance distance/speed/mileage=production for his living with the most necessary 'keep it safe'.
That truck driver, who, the moment he turned on his signal of intention you saw but decided to excelerate into the space available for him to pull out.... or you decided to pass on the right but blamed him for not seeing you when you moved into his blind spot: That truck driver which many resent sharing the road with... wants you to be safe and he wants to be safe.... iow, it is with him constantly as he's available 24/7 to answer for the safety of himself, the care of his vehicle, and the securement of the load, stopped or moving...he wants the roads to be safe.
For many truck drivers....you are a stranger but you represent a member of his family, or a dear friend: He is cut off. He is passed by on the right while signaling his desire to return to the right. He is challenged when merging where there should have been a space in traffic flow...by insistant motorist who have no patience to be behind his truck. He sees the "construction ahead, merge now" signs and starts planning to move over..... then watches some other motorist and truckers ignore the signs and run the lane as a passing lane and expect to merge in front of him at the last....often times granted inspite of the rudeness to him. All the while... this good truck driver thinks 'that could be my mother/father/sister/brother/ friend/ family/ child.... and instead of getting road rage.... he gets a very sad feeling that they just don't understand or else they would drive more safely and share the road. Many a driver will speak a prayer instead of a curse, when these slights occur: The road has taught a seasoned driver that behaviors become habits and bad habits lead to accidents. His position means his attention must be on the road: But he knows... from the life he leaves behind, other motorists occupy the roads with everything but driving on their mind, and a bad unexpected move on their part may involve him in an accident or others.
Of accidents involving big trucks and motorists, roughly 75% are caused by motorist. But of all accidents involving a truck, the survival rate for motorist and passengers goes way down. Those big trucks look gigantic....tank like.....but the cab which protects the truck driver is thin metal or fiberglass and has fewer driver survival protections built in than passenger vehicles, and virtually none for a second occupant unless sitting in the jump seat (seat belt). iow, just because the truck is big doesn't mean the truck driver is as protected as you.
BTW, Carpo, a couple of examples come to mind when I think back on city driving with a 53 foot trailer behind me: As a driver, in the city, a green light means nothing to me if the space beyond the intersection will not allow my trailer to clear the intersection. Many a motorist has pulled in front and taken the space which was available for my move forward. Blowing the horn, passing me to return in front of me, and giving me the finger does little to help me enter that intersection on green....unless I know I have enough room to clear it.
When turning, that big ole hunk of extra baggage behind me is going to swing over the inside of a turn which my tractor wheels might clear. Any car moving into that space means we're going to connect....and I'll win (not the lawsuit...but the impact) unless I see that move in time to stop. This will usually result in his having to yield and back up, even if he didn't want to. I can out sit him anyday.... Lots of experience at loading docks and in stop and go traffic for me has taught me this patience. Also, in spite of his desires.... I have no eyes behind my truck, so if I don't have a trustworthy spotter, i cannot back out of trouble where there's other motorist or pedestrians moving around. Several times I've called the police to make sure of traffic control so I could make a safe move.
Another thing.. that bold solid line just before the pedestrian walk......guess what? It is not a suggested stop line..... It IS the stop line.... and by that I mean the bumper of any properly stopped vehicle does not go beyond it until the intersection is clear and one is ready to move. The aproximate 3 feet in front between it and the pedestrian walk is a margin for their safety and helps all motorist approaching the intersection to view their presence. Think young child or person in wheel chair: Any one sitting on top of that line decreases the visibility for other motorist.
To the RV crowd..... Do I think I have blind spots? Well you do too, and some of the craziest moves I've ever seen was made by RV's drivers. Part of my job at a hospital was beyond the clinical....I also transported patients to outings, placement, and consultations.... and drove an RV. Know your blind spots: This means start your observations well before making a move so you've identified what is around you and accounted for....then keep checking.
Some cities have characteristic driving.... The most discourteous and competitive I found in Memphis Tn..... everytime I went into or through there! My turn signal functioned like a 'dare' it seemed. Other drivers told me 'you have to take charge and start creeping over. You're bigger than they are... they'll get the message and back off.' Sometimes this is the only choice for the truck driver... but it is a risky choice and he knows it and sweats having to make it everytime others are unwilling to share the road.
Atlanta I-285 is a nightmare: If one doesn't run with the pace, no one will acknowledge a signal to allow for a lane change. Also, when its stop and go...not uncommon, I found it comfortable to creep along in low gear with a lot of space in front: Motorist could move across to exit or to get in a trucking free lane to run faster without my fear of running them over... and I felt less tension than those poor silly ones way in front who sit and go, sit and go, almost bumping the traffic in front like packed sardines.
For all the confusion and heavy traffic, Chicago seemed to always have the best flow. People there would consider one's turn signal and help other motorist change lanes.... and for that reason, even with delays and jams, narrow lanes and construction, I felt less tension and stress.
Los Angeles... the stress never left me. The intersections in the industrial sections of town are old and not easily negotiated with a 53 foot trailer. On the freeways and Interstates, some of the ramps and merging lanes are not designed for the space it takes a big truck to gear up to merging speed and add to this some tight curves on ramps which means a big truck must slow down.... and the barriers which obscures the view of traffic until near the end of a merge when the commitment is too high for a change of judgement.
I like being at home. One year was enough of the road for me. I enjoyed it... but there is enough bad moves and discourteousy to go around... commercial drivers and personal drivers. The risk is always present: The truck driver is always on duty in spite of logging off; He performs many task which reduce the hours that he can drive for which he is NOT paid... and his pay is dependant on miles. Many think there's money to be made... well for a few, there is: But the expense of poor quality food, tourist priced sundry necessities, expense of rental or public travel... if one chooses to drop the truck for a while.... the site seeing of viewing all the billboards on the interstates which tell you what you've missed by taking the trucking route, if one has good insurance... the availability of emergency or walk-in med care where big trucks can park is virtually unheard of.... and, one hears much anti-religion, vulgar jokes, and profanity over the CB, that its hard to carryon a decent chat that connects one person to another in a lonely life..... and few churchs near truck stops to attend. Nope, I don't miss a life thatso many people are critical of and consider a nusciance than appreciate for the contribution made to their quality of life and the economy.
I used to drive one. I had a beverage route. No excuse for wreckless driving.

"These accessories are so cute! I especially love the sprinkles. These would be a wonderful gift for the little girl in your life."
"That's really quite pretty and so simple that I would never have thought of it! I have tons of little balls of yarn that would be ideal for something like this. If I have enough of certain colors, they could be varied to suit different holidays, too. I didn't notice how she planned to hang it, but I suppose a simple yarn loop would do."
