A lot of pipeline welders prefer a normally home made "pancake" hood. I do not know the why behind it but it is popular and unique.
A hood that is good for one guy isnt what the other guy likes or it doesnt work well for him.
Here is a picture of a Pipeliner with eyeliner wearing her custom hood.
Here is a store bought version:
Here is a picture of a hood style that I was given when my welder retired. It is used when there is no room for anything larger than your head to fit into a tight spot. Talk about hot!
Pipeline welders are IMHO some of the best welders out there. They have to run all position x-ray quality welds. If they "bust" a given number of x-rays, they are told to load their truck up and go home.
A couple of welders at the shop where I worked as a pipefitter were just incredible.
They could run SS wire X-ray field welds and get 100% time after time after time.
Who ever said it can't be done is wrong.
Just takes talent and experiance and a darn good pipefitter making up the joint for them

European markets end the week on a high note
The week's positive news on the global economy, with the World Bank raising its growth forecasts, has continued to support European markets despite some disappointing trading news, notably Shell's profit warning. The mining sector was particularly strong, on hopes for continued demand from China. Here are the closing scores:
• The FTSE 100 finished up 13.88 points or 0.2% to 6829.30
• Germany's Dax hit a new record high, up 0.26% at 9742.96
• France's Cac climbed 0.19% to 4327.50
• Italy's FTSE MIB ended 0.47% higher at 19,969.33
• Spain's Ibex added 0.1% to 10,465.7
On Wall Street the Dow Jones Industrial Average is currently up 64 points or 0.39%.
On that note, it's time to shut up for the day and indeed the week. Thank's for all your comments and we'll be back next week.
News in from Athens where Helena Smith says anti-austerity anger appears to have taken a more menacing turn in the form of bullets being posted to supporters of reform in the debt-stricken country:
Almost a year after the reform-minded Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras received a bullet in the post from a group calling itself "Cretan Revolution" it was the turn of the Governor of Bank of Greece Giorgos Provopoulos. Hidden among his correspondence this morning was a package containing two bullets and a poison pen letter from a previously unknown group that called itself "the People's punishers." Officials at the bank, who immediately called the police, described the letter as "threatening."
Provopoulos, who sits on the board of the ECB, is a well-known proponent of modernisation, both in the banking system and bloated public sector and frequently urges the government to press ahead with what are often deeply unpopular changes. A similar package, addressed to the prominent political journalist and commentator Yannis Pretenderis, was also sent to the TV station where he works. Although a critic of many of the policies pursued by Greece's triumvirate of creditors at the ET, ECB and IMF, Pretenderis also advocates reform and was the first journalist to secure a lengthy TV interview with the Greek prime minister Antonis Samaras.
Cyprus' president Nicos Anastasiades wrapped up a four-day official visit to the UK today telling an audience at the London School of Economics that natural resources would play a central role in the island's economic recovery. Helena Smith reports:
Calling the discovery of large natural gas and oil deposits in the eastern Mediterranean a "most encouraging development," the Greek Cypriot leader said regional cooperation in the field of energy would almost certainly help rejuvenate the crisis-hit island's economy. "The very promising potential of hydrocarbon exploration in the Levantine basis requires that all countries in the region work closely together, bilaterally and regionally," he said in a speech orgsanised by the LSE's Hellenic Observatory. "In energy policy formulation we seek to: explore synergies; optimize resource development; create opportunities and remove challenges, if any for potential investors, through inter-state bilateral and regional cooperation."
Anastasiades, who was elected head of state barely a year ago - only to oversee the tiny EU member state's near economic collapse - said plans were already in the pipeline to build an onshore terminal for the liquefaction of gas so that Cyprus could "realise the significant potential of becoming the Eastern Mediterranean's energy hub."
"We aim to achieve gradual recovery of the Cyprus economy by 2015," he told the audience insisting that the economic challenges facing the island should not be seen as setbacks either to growth or the geopolitical role it now aspired to. "Let us not forget that during our recent history and following the Turkish invasion of 1974, Cypriots had to fight and struggle for survival even under more adverse circumstances and have become known for being resilient and easily adaptable, or should I say adjustable, to dire conditions, emerging even stronger than before."
Ten months after its chaotic rescue pushed the island into unprecedented recession – the Cypriot economy is poised to contract by more than 11% by the end of the year – the Anastasiades government has won plaudits for the way it has handled the crisis with Cyprus defying widespread fears that it would go the way of problem-plagued Greece. While its €10bn bailout has been painful, with investors suffering losses on bank deposits for the fist time since the eruption of Europe's debt crisis – it is widely accepted that that the Cypriot economy has proved more resilient than expected.
UK companies with extensive experience in the North sea are reportedly lining up to participate in the exploration of natural gas off Cyprus.
More talk of possible quantitative easing from the European Central Bank:
The Bank of Italy has forecast the country will emerge from recession this year, saying in its latest quarterly Economic Bulletin:
After falling by 1.8% in 2013, GDP is projected to grow by 0.7% this year and by 1% in 2015.
Full story courtesy MNI is here.
One of the US jobs market indicators said to be favoured by incoming Fed chair Janet Yellen is JOLT (the job openings and labour turnover). Well, the figures for November have come out, and along with a rise in job openings to just over 4m, they show an increase in the number of workers quitting their jobs from 2.38m in October to 2.42m. That is seen as a sign of improvement in the jobs market, ie most workers would only quit if they were confident of getting employment elsewhere. Cue the tapering talk again...
More US data has just come out, with an unexpected drop in consumer confidence.
Worries about employment and income growth sent the Thomson Reuter/University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index down from 82.5 in December to 80.4 so far this month. This compares to forecasts of an increase to 83.5. Rob Carnell at ING said:
There is no compelling explanation for this, unless perhaps respondents have been influenced by weakness in some other surveys – payrolls for example – though most observers believe that these are anomalous and weather affected.
With the labour market probably in far better shape than the latest labour report suggested, the stock market remaining robust, house prices rising strongly and gasoline prices relatively low, there is no good reason for the dip, which may turn out to be nothing more than noise. At any rate, 80.4 is not a bad level, and consistent with spending growth remaining at the sort of levels seen in recent quarters.
A lacklustre opening for US markets this morning, following industrial data and housing starts broadly in line with expectations.
There is plenty else for investors to chew on. Morgan Stanley reported a 72% decline in income for Q4, partly related to legal costs related to the credit crunch. General Electric, another corporate bellwether, posted a 4.8% rise in revenue.
- The Dow Jones Industrial average dipped slightly, falling 0.1% to 16,397.16 points.
- The S&P500 lost a similar amount leaving it at 1843.50 points.
- The Nasdaq composite fell 0.34% to 4203.428.
On that note I am handing over to Nick Fletcher. Thanks for following and all the comments so far. JR
From the US production lines, to an underwear factory in Manchester. Kinky Knickers, the label championed by retail guru Mary Portas, has seen parent firm Headen and Quarmby fall into administration, threatening 33 jobs.
It is another blow to the self-styled Queen of Shops, who is battling to rescue the British high street. Read the full story from the Guardian's retail correspondent Sarah Butler here.
Joseph Brusuelas, an economist at Bloomberg, has some interesting first-takes on those US numbers.
Here are more details on the US industrial production data from the US Federal Reserve Board.
Manufacturing output rose 0.4% in December, compared to 0.6% in November
Mining output was up 0.8% compared to 1.9% in Nov.
Utilities output was down 1.4% compared to a 3% rise in Nov.
Industrial output excluding cars and parts was up 0.2% compared to 0.9% in Nov.

Breaking news: US industrial production rose 0.3% in December, in line with economists' forecasts.
Should the Bank of England beware of the "nasty scissor movement?" Not a an outlandish stationery cult, but what happens when growth is caught between a decline in real wages and stagnant business investment.
Ben Broadbent, external member of the Monetary Policy Committee, has been looking at whether this view holds water, in a speech at the London School of Economics today.
The full text is on the Bank of England website, but here is a flavour of his argument:
....concerns about the absence of growth have been replaced with worries about its composition: too much consumer-led spending, too little investment and trade. In particular, it is argued, the recovery will run out of steam without a rise in investment because of an ongoing contraction in real wages. The suggestion is that proceeds of growth are being diverted to unspent corporate profits. Growth is therefore caught in a nasty scissor movement between a decline in real wages, which limits the room for further growth in household spending, and perpetually stagnant business investment. As a result it is destined to subside. My aim today is to ask whether this view holds up to scrutiny.
I will make three points. The first is that real pay is weak not because firms are taking (and hoarding) the lion's share of the proceeds of growth – in fact, the opposite is true: wages have grown faster than profits during this recovery – but because the prices we pay for consumption have risen much faster than those firms receive for their output.
The second point is about the typical sequencing of economic expansions. Business investment tends to lag, not lead, the cycle in output (the opposite is true for housing investment). One of the reasons firms' capital spending has stagnated is that the recovery has so far been too weak to allow their profits to recover. But history, and a variety of indicators, suggests it is likely to accelerate through this year. Indeed, allowing for measurement error, it may already have started to do so.
The final and more general point is to caution against inferring too much about future growth from its current composition. Of course there's a risk the recovery could falter. But, if it does, it will probably be because of more fundamental problems – a failure of productivity to respond to stronger demand, for example, or continuing stagnation in the euro area – not any imbalance in expenditure or income per se. These are outcomes, not determinants, of the economic cycle. As we shall see, they are poor predictors of future growth.
Shell's profit warning wiped £6.5bn from the FTSE100 index this morning. But this could be small change compared to the trillions of overvalued assets oil and gas companies are sitting on - the so-called "carbon bubble". Several commentators, including readers of this blog, argue that the "carbon bubble" and risks to the environment of runaway climate change, put a different perspective on today's statement from Shell.
It is worth revisiting a warning from Lord (Nicholas) Stern, the author of the landmark 2006 report on climate change. Last May, Stern said the world risks a major economic crisis, because oil and gas companies are sitting on huge fossil fuel reserves that will have to remain underground, if the world has any hope of avoiding the threshold for 'dangerous' climate change. Essentially, major energy companies are seriously overvalued...
Smart investors can already see that most fossil fuel reserves are essentially unburnable because of the need to reduce emissions in line with [a climate change] global agreement. They can see that investing in companies that rely solely or heavily on constantly replenishing reserves of fossil fuels is becoming a very risky decision.
... much of the embedded risk from these potentially toxic carbon assets is not openly recognised through current reporting requirements. The financial crisis has shown what happens when risks accumulate unnoticed. So it is important that companies and regulators work together to openly declare and quantify these valuation risks associated
with carbon, allowing investors and shareholders to consider how best to manage them.
Breaking: US housing starts fell by 9.8% in December, the US Commerce Department has said. The figure is the largest percentage drop since April, but not quite the steep drop economists had been predicting.
Groundbreaking for single-family homes, the largest segment of the market fell by 7%.
Just in... the owner of the New York stock exchange and Euronext is taking over the running of Libor, the interest rate benchmark at the centre of a rigging scandal involving many major banks.
Intercontinental Exchange will take over running Libor from 1 February, having received the formal ok from the Financial Conduct Authority.
In his 2012 review, Martin Wheatley, now chief executive of the FCA, had recommended handing Libor to an independent organisation chosen via competitive tender. The British Bankers' Association was stripped of its responsibility for Libor in the wake of the scandal.
The London Stock Exchange has removed itself from the dwindling club of companies with all male boards.
The LSE announced this morning that it had appointed two women to its board - one day after it was exposed by BoardWatch as being one of three FTSE100 companies with all make boards.
Sherry Coutu, who serves on Cambridge University finance board, and Joanna Shields, chairman of Tech City UK, become non-executive directors with immediate effect, the LSE said this morning.
This means the only companies in the FTSE100 left with all-male boards are Chilean copper mining company Antofagasta and commodities trader Glencore Xstrata.
Capital Economics has issued a cautionary note on this morning's bumper retail sales figures.
December's strength does not translate into a strong Q4. Because of weakness in previous months, over the fourth quarter as a whole, retail sales were a mere 0.3% higher than in Q3. So spending on the high street will provide only a modest boost to economic growth in the final three months of the year.
Nonetheless, with non-retail spending strong, December's sales data provided further hope that Q4 should sustain the strong rate of GDP growth seen in Q2 and Q3. But it also points to a recovery that continues to display a distinct lack of balance.
In other words, whatever happened to 'the march of the makers'?
Tough times in Spain continue, with another sign that households and small companies are struggling to repay debts. Spanish banks' bad loans as a percentage of total lending hit a record high of 13.08% in November, up from 12.99 % the previous month, according to Bank of Spain figures.
Here are the figures from the Bank of Spain:
And here is Reuters' take on the data:
The [bad loans] ratio has been steadily climbing as households and small companies struggle with debts and as banks, fighting to improve their own capital quality ahead of Europe-wide stress tests, rein in lending. Bad debts rose month on month by €1.5 billion ($2.04 bn) to €192.5 bn euros in November. Total credit, meanwhile, rose slightly by €2.6 bn to €1.47 trillion euros, the data showed.

Back to Shell, which has seen its share price recover from this morning's sell off. Shares are down 2.1%, an improvement on an earlier 4% fall.
Ishaq Siddiqi at ETX Capital, blames the management, but thinks that Shell is not alone in its problems
Worrying news from the oil major which is clearly suffering from management's inability to get on top concerns regarding capital discipline. Shell warned of disappointing results from its upstream, downstream and corporate business divisions; higher exploration costs and softer oil prices are blamed for the poor numbers – this is unlikely to change this year leaving markets worried about the group's outlook.
Shell is not an isolated case however, as weak industry conditions for downstream oil is likely to hit sector peers too. For Shell itself, management must now implement more aggressive targets for group strategy in order to turn a page and improve capital efficiency which would go some way in improving operational performance.
Louise Rouse at ShareAction wants Shell's shareholders to challenge the company on its costly Arctic drilling plans.
A quick recap - last year Shell filed formal plans to drill in the Arctic above Alaska, raising environmental concerns about the potentially devastating impacts of a spill.
ShareAction is not convinced about the economics of the plans.
There are huge question marks over the economic viability of Shell's Arctic plans given the high costs involved. The fact that Shell's profits are tumbling, in part because of high exploration costs, highlights further the need for investors to make sure that the sums add up in the case of the Arctic.
Oil companies' approach to capital expenditure is almost Shakespearean - 'there is money, spend it, spend it, spend more'. With flat share prices and falling profits shareholders should challenge this lack of capital discipline.
A snapshot of consumer behaviour in charts...
Consumers hit the shops in force in December, splashing out in the run-up to Christmas. Pundits are less convinced the spending splurge will continue in 2014. Here is a round-up of reaction on the UK's retail sales data and what it means for the economy.
Alan Clarke, director of fixed income strategy, said the growth in sales was not the result of slashing prices.
Its a boom!! UK retail sales surged by 2.6% m/m in December - massively higher than expected. The breakdown showed strength in non-store, no surprise given we know the internet side of spending is booming. That saw a near 5% jump on the month. Meanwhile department stores flew. They had seen a 3.3% drop the prior month, so some payback was likely, but this was massive.
I would have expected to see a corresponding slashing in prices to have induced such strength but it didn't show up - the deflator was fairly stable.
Jeremy Cook, chief economist at World First, thinks these figures could be "a last hurrah for retail" as consumers show more restraint in 2014.
Well, that was unexpected. Pre-Christmas discounting, combined with strong consumer confidence and a strengthening jobs market has driven sales through the tills at a rate that hasn't been seen since May 2008.
This stands against the anecdotal evidence we've been getting from the high street, in what seemed to have been a very lacklustre Christmas trading period. Companies have issued profit warnings and retailers have been eager to warn shareholders that as long as wage growth remains subdued, in both nominal and real terms, that a positive outlook could be guaranteed. I'll be eager to see just how much discounting is to blame for this number; revenue and profit are very different beasts.
Sterling has driven higher on the number with yields on UK debt moving upwards as well, as the market factors in further pressure on the Bank of England's forward guidance plan. We still believe that the UK consumer will remain pressurised through 2014 and this number could easily be a 'last hurrah' for retail as move forward into 2014.
James Knightley at ING Bank thinks the chances for an interest-rate rise have gone up.
UK retail sales jumped a massive 2.6%MoM in December, way beyond any expectation in the market, leaving sales 5.3% higher than a year ago. Given that this figure is measured in volumes rather than values it adds weight to the view that GDP growth will be very strong in 4Q13 (close to 1%QoQ) with 1Q14 GDP likely to be robust too thanks to base effects....
Overall, a very strong set of numbers that suggest the UK economy is gaining speed with spare capacity really starting to be eaten into. As such, the chances of an interest rate hike this year are rising, but we suspect the [Bank of England] will start with macroprudential tools to cool certain hot spots first.
Howard Archer, chief UK and Europe economist at IHS, thinks consumers could "take a breather" after splashing out at Christmas.
December's strong retail sales performance provides a major boost to hopes that GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2013 remained up around the 0.8% quarter-on-quarter rate achieved in both the third and second quarters.
Even so, it should be noted that because of lacklustre overall sales in November and October, retail sales volumes growth in the fourth quarter of 2013 was limited to 0.4%, which was down substantially from growth of 1.6% quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter.
Looking ahead, there is some uncertainty as to how robust consumer spending will be in the early months of 2014. It is very possible that consumers could take a breather after finally splashing out for Christmas and in the sales, given that inflation is currently still running at double the rate of earnings growth. It is also notable that consumer confidence edged back for a third month running in December, although these small dips were from a near six-year high in September.
The good news for growth prospects is that the squeeze on purchasing power now seems to be progressively if gradually easing with consumer price inflation falling to a four-year low of 2.0% in December. Average earnings growth is also showing signs of edging up although it was still only up by 1.1% year-on-year in October itself and by 0.9% year-on-year in the three months to October.
In addition, markedly rising employment is supportive to consumer spending, as is the improving housing market.
Here is a flavour of the insta-reaction on Twitter to those surprising retail sales figures.
Here are the highlights from the Office for National Statistics data on retail sales.
- The UK retail industry grew by 5.3% in December 2013 compared with December 2012. Retail sales were up 2.6% in December, compared to the previous month, far outstripping economists' calls for growth of just 0.3% or 0.4%.
- Department stores - the likes of John Lewis and House of Fraser - did especially well in December, with a month-on-month increase of 8.7%.
- Internet sales increased by 11.8% in December 2013 compared with December 2012 and by 1.8% compared with November 2013.
- But it wasn't just big bricks and clicks. Small stores (<100 employees) saw the amount of spending go up by 8.1% compared with 2.6% in large stores.
- Growth was in non-food stores, helping to offset declines in sales in food stores and petrol stations.
Just in...UK retail sales rose 2.6% in December compared to November, the fastest growth in 9 years and smashing expectations.
A smidgen of good news for Portugal, which is hoping to leave its €78bn euro bailout programme later this year. Ratings agency Standard & Poors has removed Portugal from its "Creditwatch" list. Being on Creditwatch is the precursor to an imminent downgrade, so this is a an improvement, albeit a very small one.
Portugal's BB credit rating and negative outlook was reaffirmed, leaving it stuck just two notches above "junk" status.
S&P said the move reflects its expectation that Portugal will achieve its 5.5% of GDP budget deficit target in 2013 and approach its 4.0% target in 2014.
We base this expectation partly on indications that the economy has been showing signs of stabilisation since mid-2013.
Stronger-than-expected export performance, and an expected bottoming out of private consumption, amid a modest decline in unemployment should support Portugal's fiscal performance in 2014.
S&P said a key risk was the possibility the Constitutional Court may reject more austerity measures, although the ratings agency expects the government to
muddle through find alternatives, as it has in the past.
The negative outlook reflects our opinion that there is at least a one-in-three possibility that we could lower our ratings on Portugal during 2014.
Even Super Mario has his work cut out.
Nintendo has issued a profits warning, after its Wii U console failed to capture the public imagination. The Japanese games maker expects to sell just 2.8m consoles in the 12 months to the end of March, down from previous expectations of 9m. It also halved the number of games that it expects to sell for the Wii U, from 38m to 19m.
Nintendo blamed disappointing sales of its consoles over Christmas:
Software sales with a relatively high margins were significantly lower than our original forecasts, mainly due to the fact that hardware sales did not reach their expected level.
Charles Arthur, the Guardian's technology editor, has the story here.
Labour's shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna has been defending the party's bank reform plans on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
He suggested that a short-term fall in the share price of Lloyds and RBS, both partly state-owned, was a price worth paying to create a more stable economy.
I'm not denying in the short term that you may see a hit on the share price of these banks - it's probably happening as we speak now. But the reason we are doing this is so that we can grow our small businesses, which not only create in and of themselves more middle-income jobs - so we actually get people earning more - but also are very important feeders in the supply chain for our larger businesses.
"If we solve that problem - because our economy is too low-wage and too low-skill - and we get more people earning more money, then we will see higher income tax receipts coming into the Exchequer, our businesses will do better because people will be spending more, so we will see higher corporation tax receipts, and therefore we will actually have a better economy.
Overall, the banking crisis caused by the banks cost our country about £1.2 to £1.3 trillion in the wake of 2008/09. In that context, actually, we believe that the costs involved of the reform that we are proposing will in the longer term be in the public interest.
"The reason we are doing this is essentially because we've got the biggest cost-of-living crisis in a generation."
Mr Umunna declined to estimate the level of the cap which Labour would place on banks' market share.
The quotes are from the Press Association.
Things could have been worse for Shell, suggests Bloomberg correspondent Jonathan Ferro.
Shell has seen 3.9% wiped off its share price since markets opened a few minutes ago.
This hasn't done much for the FTSE 100, although it hasn't harmed it either. The overall index is up 0.1%.
Shell is the largest company on the FTSE 100, worth around 7.5% - number courtesy of Mike van Dulken, head of research at Accendo Markets.
On European markets, it's a pretty unexciting start to the day: Germany's DAX is up 0.1%, France's CAC 40 up 0.2% and Spain's IBEX up 0.1%. Italy's FTSE MIB is flat.
Good morning, and welcome to our rolling coverage of the world economy, the financial markets, the eurozone and the business world.
To start the day, we have a surprise profits warning from the world's second largest oil company, Royal Dutch Shell. The company has said that its fourth quarter 2013 results are likely to be "significantly lower" than recent levels of profitability.
Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2013 are expected to be $2.9 billion (£1.8bn), compared to analysts' expectations of $4bn.
Shell is blaming "weak industry conditions in downstream oil products, higher exploration expenses and lower upstream volumes".
'Not good enough' is the message from Ben van Beurden, Shell's chief executive who took over two weeks ago.
Our 2013 performance was not what I expect from Shell. Our focus will be on improving Shell's financial results, achieving better capital efficiency and on continuing to strengthen
our operational performance and project delivery.
Although analysts are expecting UK markets to open up, Shell is the largest company on the FTSE 100, so could weigh the rest down.
Elsewhere, we have Labour leader Ed Miliband's speech calling for the UK's five largest banks to sell off branches - covered in the Guardian here and here.
At 9.30 we are expecting UK retail sales figures. Although shoppers might have been spending big on tablet computers and Christmas jumpers, market watchers are braced for some disappointing numbers. The consensus is for a rise of 0.3% for Q4 2013, which would be a significant drop on the rest of the year.
From the US, we are also expecting industrial and manufacturing production data for December.
I'll be tracking that and the rest of the economic and financial news throughout the day...

This is very good work and information -- I think everyone should have an OBDII dongle and software to log the data. Torque is a great peice of software for Android devices and if the dongle outputs in blutooth or wifi most any Androi phone or tablet should read/log with no problems.
When in select shift manual the ratio off engine rpm to car speed should be constant in a given gear unless there is slippage. There can be slippage with slippery roads, of course, but if the roads and conditions are good the only explanation for slippage is the clutches are slipping. And no, that is NOT how they supposed to work except during the take-off from a stop. If you're cruising along at, say, 55mph in 6th the rpm should be about 2060 give or take a bit so if it's sitting at, say 2060 rpm and then you hit a hill that puts more load on the car and the rpm increases even though the cars speed stays the same or decreases there can be but one explanation -- clutch slippage!
Really folks, if you are having this DCT problem it would be a very good idea to either buy an OBDII dongle or borrow one so that you can record data and show them. If that doesn't work perhaps you could contact a lawyer and I can pretty much guarantee that if the dealership receives a certified letter on a lawyers letterhead that references this data the dealer will not easily ignore that!

I'm pleased to see that Experts Speak Out is still the most watched and shared documentary on the national PBS website. [Update: watch Experts Speak Out on the Colorado Public TV website.]
Sept 12, 13, 14 - Clitherall, Urbank, Parkers Prairie, Long Prairie, Swanville, Sobrieski, Bowlus, Royalton, Foreston, Milaca
I've had a busy few days on the road, with not much time for writing. I've been doing my usual outreach - in three days, I stopped at seven fire stations, seven police departments, two sheriff's offices, three newspapers and about ten churches. Several times the phrase "old-fashioned barn storming tour" came to mind while riding between towns.
Riding conditions have been good, slight tailwinds, so it's easy to stay on the road 50-60 miles per day. I also updated the home page on this 9/11 Journey for Truth website, and dealt with an overdrawn bank account situation back home.
Farmers in this area are harvesting potatoes, and there are frequent poultry farms, dairies and meat packing plants in this area. People here have been friendly, interested and helpful, like previous regions of the journey. I had some memorable conversations with a local veterinarian and some pastors at the churches, and I'm grateful for each of the editors of the papers for interviews and their willingness to post at least a photo and the website in their local newspapers.
There's a great place for cyclists to rest in Dalbo. I needed it.
Sept 15 – Dalbo, Harris, Shafer, Marine on St. Croix
This was another easy day on the road. I went off course and ended up on an even more rural road. The roads here, hilly, narrow shoulders, with small farms and homes, plus the mild late summer weather, all remind me of home.
In Harris, I talked with a convenience store clerk who was interested in the DVD. It was quite gratifying to see her put it into the DVD player in the store immediately and start to watch it. I rarely see what happens with the DVDs I give to people, so it was satisfying to see it played and listen again to the content. "Experts Speak Out" is still the most watched and shared video on the national PBS website.
Also in Harris, I spoke with a man whose son is a first responder. I gave him a DVD to watch and give to his son. I also put a copy on the door of the fire station. And then I had a conversation with a deputy at the sheriff's station, responding to his question about the forensic evidence left out of the NIST report. I gave him a DVD to watch and share with the other deputies.
In Marine on St. Croix, the town was turned out for an arts festival. The fire station doors were open. I gave two DVDs to the fire fighters, though the community celebration atmosphere led discussion more toward discussion of the bike trip than the content of the documentary.

University Oaks Apartments shuttle stop moves to lot 10
By James Strahan
Transportation Manager
(June 12, 2009)--The UTSA shuttle stop at the University Oaks Apartments Phase III on the Main Campus will close Friday, July 3. Effective Monday, July 6, this shuttle stop will be combined with the existing stop in parking lot 10. (See the map at left.)
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The current bus stop at University Oaks Phase III was not designed for buses and the change is necessary to avoid the high cost to redesign it. The shuttle stop in lot 10 is on the blue route with service to the Main Building. The stop is near the Sam Barshop Boulevard roundabout on the southwest side of the Main Campus.
Many of the students from University Oaks Phase III began using the stop in parking lot 10 during the fall and spring semesters.
For more information, visit the UTSA Parking and Transportation Services Web site or call (210) 458-PARK (7275).

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

This is probably the most significant appearance by a sitting US President in a comic since Reagan unofficially cameoed in The Dark Knight Returns.

Japan goes off script at nuclear summit to slam North Korea
By Kiyoshi Takenaka and Jack Kim
SEOUL (Reuters) - Japan steered off the agenda at a nuclear security summit on Tuesday to hit out at North Korea's plans for a rocket launch next month, as U.S. President Barack Obama cautioned against complacency in dealing with the threat of nuclear terrorism.
The summit was briefly interrupted by a dispute between Argentina and Britain, which went to war in 1982 over the Falkland Islands, over suggestions Britain had sent a submarine capable of carrying nuclear weapons to the South Atlantic.
A communiqué issued at the end of the two-day meeting of more than 50 world leaders in Seoul was light on specifics on how to reduce the risk of atomic materials falling into bad hands, loosely calling for all vulnerable material to be secured in four years.
The world's biggest nuclear concerns, those surrounding the weapons programs of North Korea and Iran, were not on the agenda at the summit, and neither country was invited.
The secretive North has been widely criticized on the sidelines of the meeting, including by main ally China, but host South Korea has explicitly stated the North's weapons of mass destruction programs were off the table during the summit itself.
The forum is meant to deal only with safeguarding nuclear material and facilities and preventing trafficking.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda ignored protocol and urged the international community to strongly demand North Korea exercise self-restraint over next month's planned rocket launch.
"The planned missile launch North Korea recently announced would go against the international community's nuclear non-proliferation effort and violate U.N. Security Council resolutions," Noda said in an opening speech. Continued...

ISO plastic surgeon in Atlanta
I was 250 pounds then went down to my lowest 176 pounds. Now I have gained some weight and am today 195 pounds. I am seeking a plastic surgeon who can do mommy makeover on me in Atlanta. Here are my before and after photos.
Had mommy makeover Feb. 5, 2015
I went for consultation with Dr Patricia Yugeros which she is an amazing doctor as of Nov. 2014. She took her time to explain everything to me. I finally got my pannicolectomy approved through my insurance Cigna. Then I decided it was go time for the rest of the surgeries needs. I had breast lift with implants, lipo of the flanks (hips and sides) , pannicolectomy removed and full tummy tuck. The first night of recovery was pretty rough. I was in severe pain and the next day I didn't really eat a lot so I passed out at the hospital. They called "code red" since I passed out but thankfully the nurses were there to help me up and they checked my vitals. I had to get two bags of blood transfusion since I had lost so much blood. The next day I was still in pain but better and Dr Yugueros came to talk to me and told that I was just weak and normal. She was so understanding and her care for her patients shows. Then the third day I finally went home. Today is the 4th day post op. I can move and walk around hunchback but the pains have subsided significantly. I have the binder on and will see my doctor this Thursday to get my old binder removed and gauzes taken out. So far so good, this is a very painful procedure. It is not for the faint of heart. But I know in a few weeks I will see the results. I can't wait to see my new body. Here are photos of my current situation. I will keep you guys posted.
6 days post op (Feb. 12, 2015)
So today I went for the follow up appointment with Dr. Patricia Yugueros. As usual her staff, Maria and Wanda greeted me with such a warm smile and hello. Wanda was able to remove all my precious gauges, she removed my pain pump and she put my new spanx binder. I am so much more comfortable now. My breasts seem very swollen along with my belly and sides. I have large bruising from the lipo on my hips and my breasts are very sore. So far my body is healing as normal according to Dr Yugueros and she says the worse is over. I am still taking my medicine, the antibiotic, pain medicine, muscle spasms and also the blood clot at night before bed. So far I have not had any nausea and I think that is because I am gastric bypass patient from 10 years ago so that medicine was not needed for me. Otherwise I feel much more movable on my new binder and my tummy is so flat. It is so unbelievably amazing because I have not had a flat stomach in over 20 years!! This is a life changer for me. I am so excited to see what the next few weeks bring. I will post more pics as the time goes.
Through Blue Cross Blue Shield.

As a heart patient who can only have 500 mg of sodium a day what am I do with all the recipes that state you must add salt to bring out the natural flavors. Other options?

Re: Sodium content
Don't add the salt... or ask your doctor to recommend a low sodium salt. Salt does help, but it's not like dishes taste awful without it.

Re: Sodium content
Rabbit is right.
When you still feel your dish tastes to bland garlic and / or herbs sometimes help, too
And in many ways flavor is what you are used to. The less salt you usually use the less you will need to meet your taste! (I use relatively little salt and cut down on my sugar intake and it is amazing to taste all the original flavors of the produce or meat. - Before I usually covered up the flavor or my taste buds had got so lazy...)

Re: Sodium content
thanks but how do you make the skin crispy like JO does for fish and poultry and pork without the added salt. I have not used any salt added to meals for almost two years and have found when I use even traditional baking soda[which one tsp is 180ml of sodium] it is all I taste.
thanks again

Re: Sodium content
The secret to crispy skin is dryness - that is what te salt is used for.
As an alternative, yo can use the chinese method for meat and poultry. Pour boiling water over the skin side - use plenty znd do it seversl times. Then dry the skin completely - first blotting the water off, then drying it, either by hanging it somewhere dry and airy, or you can cheat using a hair dryer.
Get the crackling or crisp skin started by searing skin side down pressed well onto tye griddle until it is nicely browned, the roast as normal.
Fir fish with a crispy skin, omit the boiling water stage, and dry it well before searing.

Something insanely amazing happened. An epiphany if you may.
Most of you know that I am in Minneapolis right now.
Over the weekend, Shil, the little one and I, we went to Sam's Club. While Shil was shopping, me and the little guy roamed around, eating free samples and talking about the various benefits of drinking water. Suffice to say the little guy wanted to use the restroom after our intense water based conversation.
As soon as we reached the restroom, the little guy turned to me and said, "DT aunty, you stay right here, while I do my business." So like an obedient aunt that I was, I stayed where he told me to. I tapped my leopard print loafer clad right feet and waited impatiently. Five minutes passed and I realized he was most definitely not doing number one.
After some time, I noticed something strange. All the snobby/crabby people (they wouldn't return my smile!) who walked in to the restroom, came out grinning. Happier. Could emptying your bladder really make you this happy? It could. I feel happy, more relaxed after I do my deed. I dismissed the thought. For the time being.
A Sam's Club employee who had been in the men's room for a couple of minutes walked out, looked at me, smiled and said, "Someone is singing a happy song in there!" It all clicked right then. The annoyed people coming out of the restroom, not so annoyed anymore. I started laughing out loud (LOL in layman terms) and replied, "He does love to sing in the John!"
I felt proud of my nephew then. He has this amazing ability to suck the negative out of you. And he does it without trying. He spreads smiles.
This got me thinking, okay, he has an upper hand, because well, he is a 6 year old who is insanely cute. People will respond to him differently. They wouldn't want a 25 something girl (there, I said it) singing out loud, while she is doing her business, now will they? I don't think people will appreciate that. But we can try. We can spread smiles too, in grown up ways. Pay for the next person's coffee. Appreciate. Compliment. Flash a big toothy grin. Be contagious with your good deeds. If you think you are having a bad day, silence is golden. Do not, I repeat, do not spew your venom on unsuspecting victims, they have done no wrong to you.
After Shil paid the bill and we were pushing the cart towards the exit, one of the female Sam's Club employees (who I had seen at the rest-room earlier) looked at me and then at the little guy, and asked, "Is this the hot stuff who was singing in the rest-room?" Little one blushed and me and Shil burst out laughing. His voice had traveled from the men's rest-room to the women's rest-room next door.

So I just got my brand new T520 today. It booted up fine the first time, but after downloading and installing a bunch of Windows 7 updates, it rebooted and is now just giving me a blank screen. I can move the mouse around, but can't seem ot get to my desktop. Here's a photo I took of the screen.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi buddy,
I would try the F11 factory restore. I know it's a pain, but I'd rather do that than send my machine off and wait a long time for it to be fixed.
It seems like an update wasn't installed correctly. But maybe you can ask Lenovo for a replacement?
06-08-2012 10:38 PM - edited 06-08-2012 10:38 PM
Reminds me not to install anything on my in-transit T520 for a few days until I can make sure that all hardware are working well. Sucks to be having problems on newly received units. Mine just came with stucked pixel and I had to return it back and wait for a replacement.
Good luck!

A test of the La Porte County Emergency Warning siren system is scheduled for today.
During the test two one-minute signals will sound, with one minute of silence in between signals.
If it were an actual emergency a three-minute signal would sound with a short period of silence between signals, repeated one or more times, to warn residence and visitors.
In any emergency, first seek shelter, then tune into local radio stations or news channels for more information. Residents should designate a safe room where they seek shelter with a portable radio and extra batteries, as well as other emergency supplies.
During emergencies, residents should not call police, 911 or radio and television broadcasters for information regarding sirens. It is essential that these lines be kept open so they can be used to receive and issue emergency information.
Remember today's sirens are for testing purposes only.

Rescue Organizations
"NorCal Boxer Rescue provides a temporary sanctuary for Boxers in need throughout California. Boxers come to us from shelters and from owners who are no longer able to care for them. We provide these animals with veterinary care, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, a microchip, a temporary foster home at a private residence, lots of love, and placement into a carefully screened home forever. NCBR is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is run entirely by a dedicated group of volunteers who have an unmatched love for preserving this wonderful breed. If you have a heart for animals, we invite you get involved in whatever capacity you can. "
Bad rescue group!
Norcal Boxer Rescue is a manipulative organization that you do not want to deal with. They use their contract to protect themselves from providing any basic rights to the adopter. My dog was so far from the requests on my application that it could have been a simple issue to correct by taking the dog back and placing a more appropriate dog. Instead they referred to the 7 days that an adopter has to return a dog (that isn't even long enough for the "honeymoon stage") and refused to give me my money back. But this drug out over a years time and my emotions became raw as I became very attached to protecting this dog and yet, having to let her go after such an incredible length of time with her. If the business was run properly they would have acted fast and replaced the dog and all would have been satisfied. Apparently NCBR President prefers to keep the dogs moving without any concern for the dog or the adopter. Amy not only lied, but manipulated me with my emotions toward this horrible situation. Save your self the money and time and adopt for the Humane Society. At least they'll tell you up front that they know nothing about the dog.
Boxers for life!

Semantic Web for End Users: Keynote from ESWC 2013 now Online
A final addendum to my series of three posts on the Semantic Web and End Users. The talk that I summarized in those posts is now online here, synchronized with the slides I presented. I think I did a pretty good job getting through 217 slides in 75 minutes, and there's some interesting Q&A at the end. I remain very optimistic about the potential for the Semantic Web to improve the end user experience, and look forward to exploring this issue further with you all.

Before a Database upgrade on a high traffic Piwik server, it is highly recommended to:
Disable Piwik Tracking
In the config/config.ini.php, add the following
[Tracker] record_statistics = 0
This will cause all Piwik Tracking requests to return quickly the 1*1 gif beacon, without connecting to the Database or doing any processing.
Disable the Piwik User Interface and APIs
To disable the User Interface and the APIs, but still track all of your data correctly, you can enable maintenance mode.
When maintenance_mode is on, a maintenance message instead of the standard Piwik reporting interface. Your data is still tracked as expected, but the UI and the Reporting APIs are disabled.
If you run the Piwik Database Upgrade script using the shell/console command, we highly recommend to turn Piwik off while the upgrade is in process. Disabling the Piwik User Interface will prevent other users from accessing Piwik while the Database upgrade is in process.
To do so, add the following in the config file:
[General] maintenance_mode = 1
The following XML messages will be returned by the API:
<result><error message="Piwik is in scheduled maintenance. Please come back later. "/></result>
When the Piwik update is finished, do not forget to re-enable Visit Tracking and/or the User Interface.

Cheryl Grampa (Photo) Teacher Busted for Getting Massages from her Elementary School Students
Cheryl Grampa (pictured in the above photo) is a teacher in Florida who reportedly rewarded her elementary school students when they gave her massages.
Trading a rub down for grades with the young school aged children by the teacher went even more wrong when authorities said one of the boys rubbing her down for his reward massaged her breasts and vaginal area.
According to the Orlando Sun-Sentinel, Grampa is 46 years old and taught at Cooper City Elementary School before resigning in December 2011.
It is unclear how the incidents were uncovered, but school investigators became involved and discovered that "between August 2009 and February 2010, Grampa offered students rewards in exchange for massages."
It doesn't sound as if she was ever fired, but she now will lose her license to teach in Florida, in a ruling this week.
According to the UK Daily Mail, she resigned after two psychological evaluations in March of 2011 and November of 2011 found her 'unfit for duty as a classroom teacher.'
After investigating the incidents, school district officials filed no criminal charges and Grampa now lives in Texas, according to the report.

Rising junior defensive end Dante Fowler, who transferred from Lakewood to St. Petersburg Catholic in late February, is now back at Lakewood, coach Cory Moore confirmed.
Fowler also transferred to Lakewood last season from St. Petersburg Catholic, before returning to the Barons two months ago. He will be ineligible for the spring game, but will be able to practice with Lakewood.
He had 4.5 sacks for the Spartans last season, and was recently named the defensive line MVP at the NIKE Camp. He is expected to be one of the top recruits for the 2012 season.

Obamacare and the nation's deficit came under fire from 3rd Congressional District candidates at the McNeese State University Student Government Association's debate on Wednesday night.
But no one took more heat than Republican U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, who didn't show.
SGA President Davante Lewis said a letter was sent Sept. 25 inviting the candidates to the debate. Boustany's absence put a damper on the debate, he said.
"We made sure that it was very clear that if you could not make the date, we would be flexible with the day," Lewis said.
"We made it very clear that we wanted to work with all candidates. Unfortunately we did not hear back from one, so we had to go along with our plan. We worked with the candidates who were willing to work with us."
John Porter, campaign adviser for Boustany, told the American Press on Wednesday that the congressman was at a Church Point meet-and-greet that was scheduled "way in advance" of the debate.
Candidates at the forum took jabs at Boustany's absence throughout the debate.
Both Rep. Jeff Landry, R-New Iberia, and Democrat Ron Richard allotted parts of their time to Boustany — gestures that were followed by silence and then laughter from the crowd.
"We have to agree to work together," Richard told the crowd. "If your congressman doesn't show up, you can't talk to him. I had the pleasure of finally meeting my congressman. You know what I had to do to meet him? I ran against him. If you're a no-show, then you shouldn't go — not to Congress."
Topics for the debate were formulated by students and included education, economy, health care and constitutional interpretation.
Richard said he is running for the refinery workers of Southwest Louisiana. Richard also said that Congress is broken.
"I believe that solutions in life and in Congress are usually found in the middle — not the extreme ends of the political spectrum," he said. "Working with the other side is not a sign of weakness. It's a byproduct of this wonderfully diverse country, and that's why I'm a Democrat, because of that diversity of ideas."
Richard said, if elected, he would always stand with the workers over Wall Street and with small businesses over big banks.
Libertarian Jim Stark said his party affiliation takes the best from the left and the right. "I am fiscally conservative and socially acceptable," Stark said.
He disagreed with Richard on the need for compromise in Congress.
"I think there is too much compromise in Congress right now and that's how we got in this mess," Stark said. "Stand your ground and realize that we are in so much debt that it is a factor. If we don't have mutual sacrifice now and cut (spending), we're going to find ourselves with no money for anything down the road."
Stark also advocated for a constitutionally limited government.
Republican Bryan Barrilleaux said he is an anti-abortion conservative and not a career politician. "I'm in this campaign in a special way. I was nominated by constituents," he said.
Barrilleaux qualified with signatures and not by paying fees to enter the race, and he has refused to take campaign contributions from anyone or to not spend his own money on the campaign. "I can serve in Congress with absolutely no conflict of interest," he said.
Barrilleaux told the crowd that the nation's financial problems will require a considerable amount of courage and fortitude to overcome and that he has "conservative ideas to bring to Washington on your behalf."
Landry said the 3rd Congressional District seat does not belong to anyone but the people.
"Tonight is an opportunity to have the employer, you, interview the applicant, us. The people on this stage have the courage of their convictions and are willing to stand before you to be interviewed for this job," he said.
"I ask you, if Charles Boustany can't stand here and fight for what he believes in front of the people he has represented for over eight years, how can you believe he will stand up ... to the Washington establishment."
Landry, like Barrilleaux, said the problem in Washington is career politicians.
The election is Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Title: Whatever
Please. The man can't even show up to explain all the "lies" Landry is supposedly telling about him, even though every other word out of Boustany's mouth is false. Where is our supposedly sincere public servant? In hiding. Why? Because he can't take the heat. Go home Charlie.
Posted By: Tim Cheramie On: 10/19/2012
Title: What a joke
Let them beat up on Boustany, because, according to this article, he was meeting with constituents in Church Point. I also find it amusing Landry was the one who wanted to ship Calcasieu, along with McNeese State University, up to Congressman Fleming's district and loop in in with Shreveport as a part of his "single-voice, coastal district." Boustany has done more for Lake Charles, Calcasieu, and the western part of this district, especially in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita, than all the previous men who held this seat combined.

When the bath tub would not drain , I removed the trip lever with a metal linkage and a metal lift rod and a plastic plunger.
when I found the clog was in the basement trap, I put the drain assembly back. THE trip lever would not raise & lower the plunger. When I tried to remove everything, it seemed liked it was catching on something, IT is inside a PVC pipe .
I tried to lubricate the linkage with grease. did not seem to help.
Any ideas ?

I am not one to wear a lot of mascara normally, I hate that it clumps and looks fake a lot of the time. However, I wanted to give it a shot because I wear a lot of dark eye makeup and it looks incomplete without the mascara. This actually works really well, I use it more in the "stretched out" position, and it makes my lashes look great. The two days I've been wearing it people have commented about how great my eyes look. I have fairly long lashes that have some curl to them but thin volume wise - this makes them really stand out. When I tried using the scrunchy position on them it did tend to clump a bit, but overall a good product.4

Unified Field Theory
€ 16,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Juli 2000
BeschreibungUnified Field Theory captures people in the middle of their lives on the verge of change. It is a moment when things are almost willing themselves to fall apart. Jobs, marriages, and hopes disintegrate under people while they seek answers and strategies, sometimes in omens or Buddhism, sometimes in reaching out to others. While some look for something larger than themselves, others get in their cars and drive as if motion alone might offer a solution.In "Nickerson's Luck" the loss of a hubcap and its eventual reappearance shape a man's relationship to his almost ex-wife and the waitress he dates. In "Unified Field Theory", a warehouseman sees the world as a place where human relations overcome the theories of physics: planes stay airborne by an act of collective concentration, and the bonds of love are stronger than atomic bonds. All of Frank Soos's characters are deeply layered, engaged thoughtfully in complicated lives.

Before you make the final decision to hire a tree care expert, there is some question that you need to ask them first to measure their expertise. Do they utilize spikes to climb trees while pruning? Unless you're expelling the trees, request they not utilize spikes during a tree removal process or whatnot, which causes unfortunate injuries. Do they promote the practice of expelling live segments from the highest point of the tree? This is another poor practice, especially for expensive, solid hardwood trees and would show that you ought to proceed with your pursuit. The matter of tree trimming should be left to companies that do not do such things that could harm the tree as well as themselves.
Some Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Tree Care Expert
Will the team be utilizing hardhats and other individual defensive gear while on your property during the tree pruning procedure? The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that individual defensive gear is utilized for any tree care operation due to the fact that accidents could happen. A legitimate tree care administration will require their specialists to be ensured, and this is important because if something happens outside protocol, you might be the one paying for it in the end. It's critical to secure yourself and your property by employing a dependable professional. It's similarly vital to secure yourself and your employee by asking these essential inquiries.
As a property proprietor, building up an association with a quality tree care organization is exceptionally essential. There are numerous variables to consider when choosing who to work with. Now and again property holders pick their contractual worker based upon the cost alone. While cost is a critical element to think of it asit is essential to measure cost out with other important variables such as safety and professionalism.
