Or they may be ordered to spend an entire nine-to-five day in an office looking through situations vacant.
The sanctions were proposed by Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell as a new study found that Labour's much-vaunted pledge to dock benefits from the workshy has failed on a hard-core of claimants.
It found that when a 20 per cent cut was ordered in a single mother's benefits, the actual drop in household income might be as little as five per cent, once benefits for housing and children are taken into account.
In a typical case, the mother would get £60.50 in personal allowance, £59.40 in housing benefit, more than £50 in child and family tax credits, £18.80 child benefit, and £21.19 in council tax benefit — making a total of £210.47.
After a 20 per cent cut in the personal allowance, the total paid would fall by £12.50.
Today's report by Professor Paul Gregg spelled out a series of new ways to use sanctions and tougher demands to make almost all unemployed claimants start trying to prepare themselves to get jobs. In a radical expansion of the system, it said even lone parents with children just a year old should be expected to think about how they would cope going back to work in the future.
People too sick to work, such as bad back sufferers, would be expected to seek medical advice on how to get well enough.
Mr Purnell said he "strongly welcomed" the report, adding: "The approach that virtually everyone should be doing something in return for benefits is the right one."
A welfare reform bill will be included in the Queen's Speech tomorrow.
Professor Gregg, a member of the London Child Poverty Commission, said only claimants with the most serious disabilities should be left on benefits for life.
People with back pain might not be ready to start work immediately but could have regular contact with an adviser and medical assessor to help them think about jobs they might hold down.
The lone mother of a three-year-old would not be ordered to apply for a job but could agree to investigate childcare so in future she could seek work.
Claimants will be divided into three groups. The first will be "work ready", claiming Job Seekers Allowance, whose benefits are docked unless they show they are actively trying to find a job. The second will be a "progression to work" group, such as lone parents of children under seven and people on incapacity benefit who could be fit to work in future.
They would get extra support and would be expected to take it. Sanctions would be imposed if they refused to prepare to become "work ready".
A small "no conditionality" group, including those with serious disabilities, lone parents of under-ones and a few carers will get benefits with nothing asked in return.

Lead in Drinking Water
Out of concern for the public health issue regarding lead in drinking water, here is some valuable information.
Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Every three years, the District tests for lead at-the-tap of 30 residences in our service area. The 30 homes we sample throughout the District are a representative sample of the homes that might have lead plumbing components. We do this according to the EPA's Lead and Copper Rule. The testing results are used to ensure corrosion control treatment techniques are working. If the water is soft or corrosive, it can accelerate the leaching of lead and other metals from household plumbing and water fixtures.
Our 2014 tests did not detect any lead in any of the homes sampled. Tests for lead are done at the home because lead piping and solder was often used in older homes. Homes built prior to the 1930's had pipes primarily made of lead. After the 1930's and through the 1980's, copper pipes were often used however the solder to connect the pipes contained lead. Lead was a common component of solders used in plumbing until it was banned in 1991.
Corrosive water, as it passed through the Flint water system, appears to have leached lead in service pipes as it reached the homes of some residents. Switching from one water source to another without implementing necessary treatment adjustments appears to be at the root of that community's challenge. The District has never used lead pipes to deliver water to our residents and our system is operated under optimized corrosion control to minimize lead leaching from plumbing materials in older homes.
The District receives a portion of its water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Metropolitan has long imported two supplies, one from the Colorado River and the other from Northern California. Both are naturally low in corrosive qualities. But to ensure that the water that is delivered by the district is consistently so, measurements to monitor corrosion are among the 350-some constituents that are tested by Metropolitan more than 350,000 times a year at their five treatment plants. This means Southern California's drinking water receives almost 1,000 tests every single day.
The District is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. If you are concerned about the possibility of lead leaching from your household pipes, you may wish to have it tested by a certified laboratory. The District can provide the contact information for the lab we use or residents can call the County Health Department for a list. Residents can also get information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps to take to minimize exposure by calling the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791 or by visiting their website at www.epa.gov/your-drinking-water/basic-information-about-lead-drinking-water.
All water agencies are required to produce a Water Quality Report that is mailed to customers in June. You can access the District's latest Water Quality Report here. The report covers everything the District has tested for the previous year and the results.

|[NL][Proposal] structure and process
|Wed, 14 Dec 2011 06:51:21 GMT
Hi all, I tried to rewrite the native language page, http://ooo-site.apache.org/projects/native-lang.html, and to define structure and process of Native Language Projects within Apache OpenOffice.org (incubating) project. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Native+Language+Projects ----- Native Language Projects A Native Language Project has a native language list. They discuss about their activity on the list. Their activities include localization, translation, quality assurance, documentation, user support and marketing etc. For these activities they can use the site (ooo-site.apache.org/language-code), the wiki (wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/language-code) and the pootle server (translate.apache.org/projects/OOo/). If you want to create your native language project, take the following steps. 1. You subscribe the project list, email@example.com. 2. Show your enthusiasm on the list 3. Become a committer and PPMC member if someone recommends you and PPMC approves you as a committer and PPMC member. 4. Then on the project list you will propose a name of your native language list. It should be looks like ooo-xxxxx-(language-code)@incubator.apache.org where xxxxx will be a word you like. For example Japanese Native Language Project chose "general" for "xxxxx" so that its list name is email@example.com. 5. If no objection against your proposal, then file an issue titled "Create ooo-xxxxx-(language-code)@incubator.apache.org" 6. When the list is created, the Apache OpenOffice.org (incubating) project may help announce it using ooo-announce list if we have it 7. Or you can tell your friends or write a blog about your native language list and encourage your native language users and contributors to subscribe the list. ----- If a current committer or a PPMC member wants to create her/his native language project and to be a moderator for its native language list, then it will be easy for them to create it and start their native language activity because they can skip step 1, 2 and 3. :) Thanks, khirano -- firstname.lastname@example.com OpenOffice.org[TM](incubating)|The Free and Open Productivity Suite Apache incubator http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/

Bright Eyes
Somerset House, London WC2
When Coner Oberst steps up to the mike, I am reminded of Mervyn Peake's Steerpike; here is his high-shouldered boy, hunched, dressed in black, dark hair over his eyes. Oberst is only 24 but looks, if anything, younger; he looks tiny on the big stage.
Yet he has presence, plenty of it. His frail form belies a voice which holds its own against a big band boasting two drummers (the lineup is augmented by trumpet and cello). Tonight's material is largely drawn from Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, its death-themed songs backed from the lively opener 'Time Code' on by a big thrum of electric guitars, dance beats and synth noises.
The crowd know most of the words and greet every song with cheers. The closing number of the main set, 'First Day of my Life' (from the album, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning) is a thing of beauty, Oberst playing spare-picked electric guitar to hushed adoration.
You can't help but be carried aloft by the encore of 'Lover I Don't Have to Love' and the new single 'Easy/Lucky/Free', which ends in a huge, doomy mess of reverberating noise as Nate Walcott gets down on his knees and bashes his trumpet until it looks like brass roadkill. It's incongruously, deeply impressive.

In the past few months, social and mobile marketing have become the new learning to be implemented in Internet marketing. The former mainly refers to microblogging, while the latter refers to mobile apps.
On microblogs, we can find a wide variety of information covering nearly every topic you can think of, even a new solution to motivate consumption by linking your star signs with group-buying activities. The increase in apps and the strong interest from advertisers have also reflected the mega trend of mobile marketing. While the prospect looks promising, we need to think carefully before rushing to follow others.
In fact, both microblog and apps are only 'carriers'. The key factor in our communication is still the 'information' or the 'messages' we want to deliver. Carriers can be ever-changing and the challenge for all marketers is to deliver product information or brand messages efficiently and effectively by making optimal use of carriers. This may seem clear and easy to understand, but in practice, many practitioners still focus on carriers and ignore the importance of information. Many marketers have a blind worship of new things. It is similar to a football game. A champion team consisting of all freshmen will be regarded as much more distinctive and outstanding than a team with old star players. However, the team building, training, tactics, physical strength, cooperation, and even the weather on the match day are critical factors that will influence performance. We cannot only count on freshmen because they are new.
Let's look at microblogs first. There are as many as 2,400 governmental microblogs and one banking brand has more than 70 accounts. The large numbers indicate the popularity of the new channel. However, I'm curious what are their objectives for having microblogs? To ensure timely communication with consumers? To enhance brand image? To listen to consumers? To do marketing? To do e-commerce? The answers sound great. But are they really doing these things? Are consumers really able to complain through microblogs or express their dissatisfaction about the product or brand? If the microblog is ruled by the voice of the brand alone, how do you expect to communicate with the consumers?
The microblog is undeniably a good platform to spread your information all over at a fast speed, especially when you have a huge amount of followers. However, it is becoming more and more difficult to attract and sustain consumer interest to encourage them to forward the brand information automatically and frequently. And some international research findings even point out that the reason for consumers to give up following a brand microblog or a branding page is the 'lack of useful information'. Consumers have been exposed to a wide variety of information in so many ways, how do you stand out?
Mobile Apps
Compared with microblog, mobile app offers more flexibility with either multi-functions or single function. But what 'carriers' shall we choose for apps? Maybe many of you will consider the iPhone and Android as the first choices. However, even if we assume iPhone sales reach 10 million, it accounts for only 1 percent of the overall mobile phone users. Is our target only for the 1 percent? What shall we do with the rest? And what other information shall we include in the app, apart from product introduction, game, store guide, and promotion? How do you link the app with consumers' interest? Can we integrate some practical functions on branded apps? This will make app marketing more interesting and more effective.
All marketing challenges are related to 'information' – how do you plan, package, and deliver information? Both microblogging and mobile platforms are only playing the role of 'delivery'. Setting up a microblog account is only the beginning. We need to think about smart ways to attract consumers to follow and forward the messages.
Similarly, when we develop an app, we also need to find solutions to encourage consumers to download. There are more than 100,000 choices in the app stores. How do you get consumers to choose your branded app? The information and function it contains are always the determinant factors. And we should have a complete plan to deal with all possible challenges from consumers. Be well-prepared before rushing to follow trends blindly.
I hope the new learning from Internet marketing can really help encourage new insights from advertisers and agencies. A microblog or an app is not a simple marketing activity. It is a kind of promise to assure your target audience that 'we are here by your side'. So please pay attention to the 'information' if you really want to make optimal use of these new platforms and establish effective relationships with consumers. This should be the most important change we need to apply from the new learning.

Elliot Rodger - Eurasian killer hunted blonde girls
So this nut named Elliot Roger went on a shooting rampage targeting what he called "blonde sluts". Elliot Rodger was a rich Eurasian (his mother was Chinese) who was unable to get laid. Specifically, he was unable to find a blonde girl who would spread her legs for him. While some White girls will fuck black guys, it is rare to find one that is interested in Asians. This perceived racial injustice sent him on his killing rampage. After all, this is America. All races are entitled to fuck blonde girls!
Of course, I am sure the media will ignore that fact he targeted girls of a specific race to kill. Such is one of the endless joys of our diversity cluster fuck.
He honestly seems somewhat of a fag in this video. Drama queen.
6 comments:
Love the 'constitution' reference, Ramz.ReplyDelete
Rodger was short, scrawny and weak, with a weak chin and squinty eyes. Such half-breeds have a hard row to hoe. Getting white girl - not a chance.ReplyDelete
Why refer to it as the white "race?" I mean there's a lot of difference between somebody who is Irish, and somebody who is Swedish. A country like India, which actually contains more than one race of people, have some people that are more white, as far as skin color is concerned, than a lot of blondes that I've seen. Maybe those blondes might be tanning more than average.ReplyDelete
But any group of people, given a long enough time span, in a northern climate, will probably grow "whiter" in skin color. You just won't be around long enough to see it happen.
Maybe we should blame his race-mixing father first. The fact is these half-breeds are torn by the fact they are not white and lust after everything white, while hating their own asian part.ReplyDelete
That perfectly explains this dude --his self-hatred - three of his victims were chinese, and his hatred of what he could not get---blonde women.
Blame the miscegenating father, for bringing him into the world.
Ramzpaul is a fucking sell-out when it comes to white men with asian women
Care to explain yourself?
I'd tell him to Amanda Lear...the kid is crazyReplyDelete
So many men would eat little Elliot like a cupcake...he didn't explore all his options....and monette...wonder if he was stalking her as well...ReplyDelete

Everything happened at once. I always wanted to go to Africa after seeing Born Free when I was a little girl. Then it was on TV again, not the real Born Free but showing how they made the movie. That made me want to go again but it costs thousands of dollars to go to Africa. Then I got some money unexpectedly and I think I can plan a trip to Elsa's home and see lions and other wild animals from Africa.
It seems like Elsa's home in Meru is not so popular because in all the reports not many people go there. It seems no one saw lions there. That makes me worried about the lions.
But I want to go anyway and to some other places. Probably 2 or 3 weeks.
My dream is finally going to come true I think. I will at least get to see the grave of Elsa.
I want to go in 12 months or maybe less. I'll see where else I should go besides Meru.
I am very excited. Where else should I go to see African Lions? Thank you.

I visited Meru last September and i was able to see 7 different lions , including a very small cub, but is true that they are not easy to find in Meru.
The Masai Mara is the place you have to visit in Kenya if you want to see lions , we saw more than 30 during our 5 days there.
Report Abuse
Hope the message is getting through that--PacoAhedo's luck aside--Meru is not where you should plan on seeing lions. The Mara is.
30 lions in 5 days is typical. I would guess I saw at least 6 a day as well in Sept.
Samburu also had some nice lion prides. You may wish to include the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater (both in Tanzania) as well, especially if you have 3 weeks to travel.

best place to view and see lions and other various animals are
-Ngorongoro Crater and serengeti in Tanzania
-wildbeest migration from serengeti(tanzania)to Masai Mara(Kenya)
Tsavo national park in Kenya

Mwende and atravlynn, Is it easy to go from Meru to Ngororongo Crater and serengeti in Tanzania and Tsavo national park in Kenya? Is there a trip that does all of these places?
So far I found a trip from Audley that goes to Meru, Shaba, and Masai Mara for 9 or 10 nights for 14 people for about $6552. Would that be good?
Cox and Kings had a trip that went just to Meru and Masai Mara. I don't remember the price.
It just seems like Meru is not that popular.
Report Abuse
pampam -
Cox and Kings is very expensive for what they offer.
As to the Audley tour, if you don't mention where staying at Meru, Shaba and Mara, or how getting between these areas which are at a distance from one another... can't attest to the price, but that seems awfully high if for a group of 14/paxs.
As to your question - Meru/Ngorongoro and Serengeti/Tsavo - this is possible, but not the way you have it routed.
Meru and Tsavo are in Kenya, Ngorongoro and Serengeti are in Tanzania.
Report Abuse
pampam.... Seeing lions is not difficult in Kenya, and getting to Tanzania is quite possible but a time-consuming complication that you possibly don't need. Unless you have a specific reason other than lions, I would stick to one country or the other first time out. Given the interest in Elsa and Born Free, that would have to be Kenya.
Did you also read the books and do you have interest in visitng the places that Joy and George Adamson stayed, lived and worked? There are some camps/lodges that cater for that - Elsa's Kopje and Joy's Camp do that (probably those on the itinerary you got from Audley) but both are wilderness destinations rather than "lion spotting" destinations.
Also, do you really want to join a tour? The ones you mentioned seem to have fixed itineraries but it is not actually necessary to travel that way. It is often the same price or cheaper to make up the itinerary yourself. Many camps/lodges have their own guides and so you only need to arrange the travel between them. For those that don't have guides (but on your apparent budget you can choose only those that do) local companies can provide you with a vehicle and guide. This is quite normal and I recommend you look through the East African trip reports thread here to get a proper feel for what this means. People who travel like this will usually book through a home-based or Kenya-based agent/ground operator, who will arrange all your transfers and so on. There are certainly some small hitches from time-to-time, but it is all rather well organised and smooth overall.
The following Kenyan camps have "permanent" lion prides (actually they could break up any time, but at least reasonably recently they did) nearby that the guides are likely seeing and tracking daily. This is just based on my own experience. I hope others will add to it. As mentioned, Samburu is certainly reliable for lions too.
Kicheche Mara Camp (Mara)
Porini Lion Camp (Mara)
Kicheche Bush Camp (Mara)
Governor's Camp (Mara)
Satao Camp (Tsavo East)
Porini/Kicheche/Sweetwaters in Ol Pejeta
Some private reserves like Lewa also have lion prides and I would be surprised if they did not know where they were, but I do not have personal experience.
Note that in Tsavo, off-road driving is not allowed and so the lions do "disappear" sometimes, but the elephants don't, providing it is dry season.
Note these are not "private" lions and I am not suggesting you will have a better expereince at these places than others. Other camps/lodges in similar areas have access to the same lions, who wander over sometimes wuite large territories, and there are many other prides.
Report Abuse
Thank you all for the help in my big trip. The private reserves might be a good idea if they know where the lions are and probably the other animals too. Maybe I'll just stay in Kenya unless it is easy to go from Kenya to Tanzania.

You'll not be disappointed,as far as lions are concerned in the Mara.There are lots flights from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro.2 t0 3 is great amount of time for the safari. As suggested above you can include Manyara,Nogorongoro & the Serengeti.Sighted lions in all these places.

Adam Lambert's sexually-charged act draws complaints
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - ABC television said on Monday it had received about 1,500 complaints about the sexually-charged performance by "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert at the American Music Awards on Sunday.
Millions of viewers saw Lambert simulate oral sex with a back-up dancer, plant a passionate kiss on the mouth of a male keyboard player and gesture to the audience with his middle finger during the closing act of the live music awards show.
Lambert, 27, said his goal was "not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom".
ABC cut the most controversial part of his act -- Lambert rubbing the face of a male dancer in his crotch -- from the U.S. West Coast telecast that aired later on Sunday.
But by then, the singer's racy rendition of his debut single "For Your Entertainment" was already on its way to becoming one of the most provocative TV moments in the music industry since Madonna and Britney Spears kissed on the MTV Video Music Awards show in 2003.
American Music Awards producers, Dick Clark Productions, said they were unaware from rehearsals what Lambert had planned. "We did not expect the impromptu moments," a spokeswoman told Reuters.
An estimated 14.2 million viewers watched the "American Music Awards" telecast, the largest audience since 2002, ABC said, based on preliminary viewing figures.
Lambert, 27, who publicly declared he was gay after "American Idol" ended in May, said his act with dancers in bondage costumes, was no different from the erotic performances of some female pop singers. He added that much of the sexual energy he brought to Sunday's show was "in the moment." Continued...

Recently, i found out from my son's teacher that he's been "constantly daydreaming" in class, and not concentrating in class. understand that children do become lost sometimes during long lessons, but i also find the same, unmotivated behaviour at home. also, he makes a big fuss whenever I try to make him sit at his desk to revise, even if it is just for half an hour.
any enrichment courses out there that can help increase motivation and reduce such tantrum throwing?
classes for motivation and emotion management
Find out how to teach our children, or find and evaluate providers if we cannot do the teaching ourselves.
Forum rules The Academic Learning & Enrichment Forums are intended for parents to discuss how to teach their own children, and to find out more about education providers.

USD/JPY holds below 103.00
USD/JPY tried to rebound today after Japanese Economics Minister Amari took his words concerning the yen's excessive drop back. However, the upside was capped at 102.80 before easing back to 102.60.
Events scheduled for tomorrow may clarify further dynamics of the pair. Firstly, the market will be closely watching Bernanke's testimony in Congress. Secondly, BoJ will announce its policy decision after a two-day meeting (no changes expected). According to Commerzbank analysts, the yen looks set to resume its recent weakening even if Bernanke doesn't give any tightening hints. JPMorgan economists agree: "Eventually it will be hard for the market to ignore the amount of bonds the BoJ is buying".
We would recommend buying on a break above 103.30 with a taget of 105.00. Sell orders are clustered at 103.00, 103.30, 103.60 and 104.00, while buyers sit at 102.50, 102.00 and 101.50. Even if the pair extends the dip, the 100.00 support (top of the ascending triangle) is likely to hold.

Millennials and Home Mortgages
Millennials have been more reluctant to buy homes compared to previous generations. This is because of several factors such as uncertain long-term job prospects and student loan debt making it harder to save for the costs related to purchasing property. However, what should people in their 20s or 30s know about getting a mortgage to make the home buying process easier when they do decide its time to buy?
There Are Many Great Resources Available to Help With Financing
Many young people assume that they need 20 percent down to purchase a house. However, this is not the case. FHA loans allow you to borrow with only 3.5 percent down while USDA loans may allow you to borrow with nothing down. This may also be true if you have served in the military and want to apply for a VA loan. Many local banks and credit unions may offer similar programs that allow for lower down payments as well as money toward your down payment to make homeownership more affordable.
You Don't Have to Live Alone
Buying a home doesn't mean that you can't have a roommate live with you to help pay the rent and other utilities. In fact, that could be a great way to pay off mortgage early without having to dip into your savings or otherwise harm your finances to do so. Another option for those who would like help with their housing costs is to buy a duplex or a single-family home with its own apartment. You can then occupy part of the home and have a tenant occupy their own separate portion of it and pay rent for the right to do so.
You Don't Have to Stay There Forever
Buying a home doesn't mean that you have made a long-term commitment to stay in one spot for the rest of your life. It is common for young people to live in their first home for no more than three to five years. After you are ready to move on, you can use the proceeds from the sale of your home to buy a new one that better fits your lifestyle. Depending on the state of your finances, you may also be able to keep your first home and use it as a rental to help pay for your next home. This may be ideal if you live downtown or in a college town as you would rarely have a vacancy if you decided to turn a house into an income property.
Tax Breaks Make Buying Preferable to Renting
In addition to building equity in your home, you get a variety of tax breaks such as deducting any mortgage interest paid. Tax rebates may be available for buying energy efficient appliances, insulation or windows. Finally, you may be able to deduct the cost of repairs or other upgrades to any portion of a duplex that you rent to tenants.
Buying a home allows for stability, control over your living space and ways to save money that aren't available to renters. Programs aimed at those in their 20s and 30s can make it easier to come up with a down payment or pay closing costs without going broke. Therefore, if you are a young person looking to buy a home, now may be the perfect time to do so.

So an oxymoron would be a statement that reminds someone of the double talk you might hear at Oxford University that is contradictory in itself. Calling some one an Oxford Moron is an old joke to poke innocent fun at the very intelligent students at Oxford…many times rooted in jealousy rather than innocence.

The present invention relates to new commercial packages of synthetic dyestuffs and a process for the manufacture thereof using soluble pastic foil. The invention relates principally to packages that are made from water-soluble plastic foil and filled with water-soluble dyestuff powder, and a process for their manufacture.
It has become common practice to pack materials of the most diverse kinds -- both in liquid and in solid form, including also dyestuffs -- in plastic foils. These packages possess numerous advantages including, inter alia, the attractive appearance of the packed materials, the premeasuring of the contents so that on using them there is sufficient product available for effectively carrying out the task in hand. A further advantage lies in the reduction of those inconveniences connected with the use of bulk goods that give off dust, or are in any other way undesirable if they come into contact with the user -- for example, contamination, irritation of the mucous membranes through dust particles etc. The wrappings of plastic foils, paper (cardboard) or metal which have been used hitherto were not soluble in the solvents normally employed, so that the removal of the wrapping (packing) before using the dyestuffs was unavoidable.
In place of the wrappings made from insoluble materials that have been used hitherto, the present invention contemplates the use of wrappings that are soluble in the same solvents as the dyestuffs that are encase by these wrappings. Thus, for example, dyestuffs that are soluble in acetone are advantageously sealed in an acetyl cellulose wrapping or coated with acetyl cellulose. Packages made of water-soluble foil are especially suitable for premeasured amounts of water-soluble dyestuffs, particularly of water-soluble reactive dyestuffs. The use of water-soluble packages is clearly more convenient and safer for the user, who simply throws the package into the water, without the opening and removal of the former water-insoluble wrappings being necessary.
The invention therefore provides new commercial packages containing dyestuffs consisting in an optionally blended or otherwise conditioned dyestuff that is sealed in a wrapping that is soluble in a solvent suitable for the preparation of a dye solution or paste. The wrapping can form, for example, a coating around dyestuff pastilles or granules, or it can be a plastic foil, for example in the form of a bag, in which the a dyestuff powder is packed.
Possible water-soluble wrappings are film forming, water-soluble mucins and polysacharides, for example hydroxyalkylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinylmethylether/maleic anhydride copolymers and chiefly, polyvinylalcohol or polyvinylalcohol plasticised with, for example, ethylene glycol or with some other substance that does not exert any substantial influence on the dissolution of the polyvinylalcohol in water.
In making a suitable choice of the material used for forming the wrapping, virtually all types of dyestuffs may be considered. Vatted vat and disperse dyestuffs, optionally together with the wetting and dispersing agents necessary for their dispersion in water, can be provided appropriately with water-soluble wrappings. However, water-soluble dyestuffs, which is to say both metalliferous and metal-free monoazo an polyazo dyestuffs, anthraquinone, nitro, formazane and phthalocyanine dyestuffs are used with advantage. In the present invention, particular interest attaches to the fibre reactive dyestuffs of all classes. These dyestuffs are known in such vast number that any further discussion of them is here superfluous.
The commercial packages are manufactured accoring to the invention in such a way that dyestuff powder is sealed into a soluble wrapping or dyestuff pastilles or granules are coated with a soluble wrapping. Solutions, for example of the substances that form the coating, are used to form the wrapping. The solutions mentioned are then applied to the dyestuff pastilles (dyestuff capsules or granules) by one of the known processes, for example in a rotating coating tank. The manufacture of dyestuff microcapsules is less recommendable, since in the case of microcapsules, the amount of the material forming the coating is so large in relation to the amount of dyestuff that it is of too great importance on the subsequent use in the dyebath and can no longer be disregarded.
Another method of obtaining the commercial packages according to the invention consists in working the dyestuffs into a melt or solution of an appropriate film forming material such, for example, as polyvinylalcohol or polyethylenglycol with an average molecular weight of between 3000 and 10,000, leaving the resulting mass to solidify and crushing it into granules, with the amount of the film forming material per tablet being so large the the pulverulent dyestuff is completely coated.
The usual methods known in industry are employed to manufacture small sacks or larger packages. A polyvinylalcohol foil can thus be sealed hot. The packages can also be formed in any other way and the content of the package can be introduced in any manner desired. For example, a pliable polyvinylalcohol strip can be introduced into a filling and packing machine, there formed into a tube and this in turn filled with the dyestuff that is to be packed, and by compressing it diagonally to its longitudinal direction, formed into sealed containers. Preferred methods of forming the packages of plastic foil are described on pages 395-396 of the "Encyclopedia Issue for 1958" of Modern Packaging, 31, No. 3A, and in U.S. Pat. No. 2,936,263. According to another preferred method of forming the packages, water is applied to the film, immediately before the package is formed, either by coating it or in some other way, and in such an amount that the film becomes tacky. Both layers of film are then sealed together by pressure alone, without the application of heat, while the film is still tacky.
The water-soluble foil suitable for the manufacture of the packs can be manufactured from numerous qualities of commercially used polyvinylalcohol. However, water-soluble foil of this material is also suitable that contains 0 to approximately 20% of polyvinylacetate. The polyvinylalcohol used for the manufacture of the films can be plasticised internally. The internal plasticising occurs, for example, by ethoxylation of the polyvinylalcohol in the manner described in U.S. Pat. No. 1,971,662. The plasticising by means of ethoxylation prevents the plastic becoming brittle and therefore its tear resistance (tensile strength) is increased to a certain extent. It is known that brittleness is the cause of the premature tearing of packs made from polyvinylalcohol foil due to the action of bumps. It is also known that the strength of a polyvinylalcohol film depends on its water content. It so happens that water-soluble foil is by nature pervious to water vapour and therefore easily attains the equilibrium of its moisture content with the equilibrium of the ambient atmosphere. The problem cannot be simply solved therefore by increasing the moisture content of the foil or by adding to the foil a hygroscopic material such as glycerine, since the foil quickly loses the absorbed water by evaporation until its water content is in equilibrium with the ambient atmosphere, so that the foil dries out to a moisture content that is too slight at low temperatures to maintain the foil in the desired plastic state.
The correct moisture content of a package made from water-soluble polyvinylalcohol foil, which is filled with dyestuff powder, can be maintained (and thus premature rupture on normal bumps and shocks avoided) be sealing into the package an inorganic or organic salt hydrate, which possesses certain properties, in such an amount that the relative moisture of the atmosphere in the package is kept at a sufficiently high level to maintain the moisture content of the foil at the desired value, even if the external moisture has very low values. The hydrate present in the content of the water-soluble package can be added to the dyestuff to be packed at any stage of the processing before the pre-packing.
Examples of inorganic salt hydrates that are suitable for the purposes of the invention are: magnesium sulphate heptahydrate (MgSO4.7 H2 O), sodium acetate trihydrate (NaC2 H3 O2.3 H2 O), sodium sulphate heptahydrate (NaSO4. 7 H2 O) and sodium sulphate decahydrate (Na2 SO4. 10 H2 O). Other extenders that are customary in the dyestuffs industry, for example urea, dextrin, dispersion agents and the like, can likewise be added to the dyestuff powders.
The thickness of the water-soluble foil that can be used for the packages according to the invention is between 6 and 75 u. Thinner foil does not have the necessary tear (tensile) strength to support the weight of the contents of the pack without tearing, whereas thicker foil is uneconomic from the point of view of costs. Several filled individual packages made from water-soluble foil can be fitted into one box for storing or dispatch, and several boxes can be packed into one dispatch container normally consisting of cardboard or some other rigid or stiff material, which provides additional protection. The individual packs can also be packed directly in a despatch container.
If dyestuff wrappings of polyvinylalcohol are used, it is necessary in most cases to provide these with airtight and moisture-proof second wrapping, for example a wrapping of polyvinylchloridepolyester or polypropylene, in order to increase the tear resistance (tensile strength) and also the wet strength, i.e. to prevent the water-soluble polyvinylalcohol wrapping from dissolving in moist air. On the other hand, the second coating prevents the polyvinylalcohol wrapping from drying out too much in dry air, which leads to embrittlement. Accordingly, too much drying out at the welded joint is also to be avoided on heat-sealing polyvinylalcohol foil.
By means of a suitable opening mechanism, for example a pull string, the polyvinylalcohol wrapping with its dyestuff contents can be extracted before use from the airtight, sealed (for example, heat-sealed polyester) covering.
The use of a wrapping of polyvinylalcohol which, depending of the (relatively high) degree of hydrolysis, is insoluble in cold water (for example, below 40� C.), but is readily soluble in warm water, is in many cases particularly advantageous. In such cases, the use of an additional (outside) protective wrapping can be dispensed with.
Generally speaking, however, the use of an outside wrapping, for example as protection against moisture and especially to improve the mechanical stability, is to be recommended, also if the (inner) wrapping consists of another material instead of polyvinylalcohol. This (outside) wrapping must therefore preferably be of some impervious and tear-resistant material. Depending on the material of the inner wrapping, aluminium, paper, cellophane, polyester, polyvinylchloride, polyvinylidene chloride or polypropylene may be considered for the material of the outer wrapping. If the inner wrapping consists of a transparent substance, then transparent material is likewise used with advantage for the outer wrapping, so that the shade of the encased dyestuff may be seen from the outside.
The new commercial packages are also suitable for optical brighteners, since these to some extent are very much inclined to give off dust. This property is, however, particularly disadvantageous because the traces are not immediately visible and a stripping or levelling up is to all intents and purposes no longer possible.
The same materials can be dyed with the new commercial packages according to the invention as with the dyestuffs that may be considered. They can be used directly for manufacturing the required dyebaths without the soluble wrappings being removed beforehand. They thereby offer advantages such as saving of time and trained personnel, since no preliminary taring is necessary, but only a count of the packages, which all contain the same amount of dyestuff. The new commercial packages of the invention are furthermore more storage-proof than the dyestuff powder that they contain, since their more compact bulk offers smaller working surfaces to harmful environmental influences than powder a factor which can be particularly important in the case of reactive dyestuffs.
On using polyvinylalcohol as the foil material there accrues the advantage that the addition of polyvinylalcohol to the dyebath, even in large amounts, has virtually no detrimental effect on the dyeing and that, moreover, the solubility of difficulty soluble dyestuffs in the presence of polyvinylalcohol is increased.
In the examples that follow, the parts and percentages are by weight, unless otherwise stated.
A granular powder is manufactured by spray drying the manufacturing mixture of the dyestuff from γ-acid and diazotised 2-sulpho-4-(α-bromacrylamino)-aniline and packed by heat-sealing in packages, which consist of a 38μ water-soluble film of polyvinylchloride.
To prepare dyebaths, the resulting dyestuff packages are dissolved directly in water without the polyvinyl film being removed or brought into solution by special means. With the thus prepared dyebaths it is possible, if desired, to dye wool by the usual method in fast red shades after addition of the otherwise desired dyeing assistant.
55 parts of the dyestuff of the formula ##STR1## are neutralised in 1000 parts of water with 2N sodium hydroxide solution and mixed with 16,4 parts of anhydrous sodium acetate. While stirring vigorously, a solution of 25 parts of α,β-dibromopropionyl chloride is added dropwise at 0� to 5� C. over the course of 30 minutes. After a short time the amino group is completely acylated. The resulting dyestuff is precipitated in the usual way by addition of sodium chloride, separated by filtration, ground and dried. 10% sodium sulphate heptahydrate is added to the resulting dyestuff powder. The mixture is subsequently packed in packages, which consist of a 38μ thick water-soluble film of polyvinylalcohol. The dyestuff packets obtained in this way dye wool from a neutral to acetic bath in red shades fast to wet and light.
4 packets of 500 g each of this dyestuff are dissolved in 4000 liters of water; 10kg of crystalline sodium sulphate and 0,5 kg of an ethylene oxide addition product of oleylamine are added and 100 kg of thoroughly soaked wool are introduced into the resulting dyebath at 40� to 50� C. Thereupon 2 kg of 40% acetic acid are added, the bath is brought to the boil within half an hour and dyeing carried out at the boil for 3/4 hour. Finally, the wool is rinsed with cold water and dried. The wool is dyed in red shades having fastness to washing and of good fastness to light.
100 parts of industrial oleylamine are mixed with one part of finely distributed sodium and heated to 140� C., whereupon ethylene oxide is introduced at 135� to 145� C. As soon as the ethylene oxide has been rapidly taken up, the reaction temperature is lowered to 120� to 125� C. and the running in of the ethylene oxide continued until 113 parts of it have been taken up. The resulting reaction product is soluble practically to a clear solution in water.
Further examples of dyestuffs and optical brighteners in the form of the new commercial product are provided in the following table, wherein there is indicated:
in column I, the dyestuffs or brighteners respectively; in column II, possible additives; in column III, the material of the inner wrapping and in column IV, that of the outer wrapping; and in column V, a suitable solvent for the inner wrapping.

Equally good dyeing results are obtained if dyebaths or printing pastes respectively are prepared with polyvinylalcohol packs that contain dyestuffs of the following formulae: ##STR2##
If the 1:2 cobalt complex of the dyestuff of the formula ##STR3## is used for the spinning solution dyeing of acetate rayon, i.e. for dyeing a solution of acetylcellulose in acetone before spinning, the dyestuff is likewise used preferably in an acetylcellulose wrapping.
As optical brighteners of the stilbene or cumarin series there may be mentioned further those of the formulae ##STR4## which are also used with advantage in the new commercial packages.

How to do a compliance check: notebooks for compliance checks: introduction
This guidance should be followed by all staff carrying out civil compliance checks where they are using notebooks.
The use of notebooks is mandatory for
- International Trade
- Excise duties
- Environmental Taxes.
The use of notebooks is not mandatory for direct taxes but where the business has agreed that direct tax caseworkers should use notebooks then this guidance must be followed.
If the use of notebooks has not been agreed by the business then caseworkers must follow the guidance for notes of meeting at CH204510.
(This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)
Notebooks are used by caseworkers to record the work they have undertaken either at a customer's premises or at the office. This includes meetings held with the person or their representative. The policy relating to use of the notebooks by caseworkers is the responsibility of the Compliance Process, Policy and Guidance Team within COPGU.
When using notebooks in the course of your compliance checks you must follow the rigorous procedures around their use because you may need to
- have access to the original notes taken at the time of the compliance check, and
- be able to understand them some time after they were made.
Notebooks may be called upon as evidence for a review, appeal, tribunal or court case and you must be prepared to demonstrate to the Tribunal the integrity of your original notes, see CH204080.
The completion and management assurance of notebooks must be of a high standard.
However, the main records should be within the Caseflow record or in the VAT Electronic Folder (EF). You must make sure the audit process is auditable without the need to access notebooks, except for detail which is impractical to transfer to the Caseflow or EF report.
Aide memoires
If you use an aide memoire with standard questions to assist you during a compliance check or meeting you must record responses to questions in your notebook. Responses should not be recorded on the aide memoire.
A copy of the aide memoire must be retained as part of the audit trail and an electronic copy should be stored in Caseflow or other case management system.
Where standard aide memoires are adapted to fit the compliance check the adapted aide memoire must be retained as part of the audit trail.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Carnegie Deli manager who was mugged in front of the Port Authority Bus Terminal on Monday morning claims witnesses took out their cell phones to take pictures of the attack rather than calling for help.
At around 5:45 a.m. Monday, police said 31-year-old Sassony Bryant approached Jose Robles, 52, from behind while he attempted to hail a cab.
Bryant then allegedly punched Robles, who fell to the ground, police said.
In an attempt to get away from his attacker, Robles got up and ran inside the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Bryant allegedly chased after him and demanded his cell phone while continuing the assault, police said.
Robles told 1010 WINS bystanders ignored his pleas for help.
"I just couldn't understand why at least one person. It was at least eight minutes from the first punch," he said.
The deli manager said New Yorkers need to help each other out in times of need.
"Don't stay quiet. Don't stand there and do nothing. Try to help. The next person could be you. If we don't help each other than where are we going? You see things going on everyday and people just turn their backs, they don't want to get involved," he said.
Robles told 1010 WINS he always calls police when he feels their presence is needed while he's working, and that everyone should do the same.
"There's always incidents and I'm always calling the cops. They are either bothering the customers or anybody that's just passing by. They're harassing people and I'm always calling trying to help people out," he said.
Bryant was arrested at Port Authority Bus Terminal and charged with attempted robbery and assault.

... of the countryside below the hilltops.
The English lady Dawn that works with Andrea met us and took us to his " laboratory" ,as the Italian call workshops. Andrea , as mentioned , is the 5th generation of his family to continue the tradition of hand weaving leather. His workshop smelt divinely of leather , and the were several bags ,in various stages of being made, around on the bench tops. Depending on the style of handbag, it will take Andrea 1-2 days to ...

A day trip to Ascoli Piceno
Today we ventured further afield to visit Ascoli Piceno, and explore the old town. We took the little tourist train to get the most out of the visit, which started from the main square - where a lot of the beautiful buildings are built in travertine marble. We also had a chance to try their famous stuffed olives which were yum ...
The Bracciale tournament
Treia is one of the prettiest villages in the Marche. We were fortunate to visit on Monday after the rain had caused the village to cancel the bracciale tournament final the day before - so the final was being played the day we were there - result !! So what is a Bracciale tournament I hear you say - well its a team game - 3 per team, each wearing a wooden bracciale on their hands/wrists used to whack a 20lb ball. ...
Macerata and Loretto
... which is renowned for its acoustics. We decided to go and "get cultured" not once but twice, and went to see "la Boheme" and Rigoletto, both modern versions of the classic operas. It was great to experience it, especially in the amazing outdoor setting which you'll see in the photos. Our time here was spent visiting a number of the beautiful perched villages in the area. One day trip took us to Loreto, famed for it's amazing cathedral, and a well known pilgrimage site ...

Surgically draining a cyst
sh1234 replied to Peregrina's topic in General acne discussionhmmm well sounds like the sac might still be in there? If its a sebaceous cyst
Psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, perioral dermatologist or eczema??????
sh1234 replied to Walexa60's topic in General acne discussionLooks like perioral dermatitis. I had that too, went to the doc and got antibotics which cleared it up.
how do i stop picking
sh1234 replied to Ava B-Z's topic in Skin pickingSome things i have found to help, during my 2017 stop skin picking journey: -DO NOT go into the bathroom for any reason other than to actually go to the bathroom/shower ect. I always end up going in to the bathroom for no reason and end up in front of the mirror, then start picking. Keep the bathroom door closed. Dont go in unless absolutely necessary. Sometimes I even dont even turn on the light when i go into the bathroom. -Kind of goes with first point , but dont stay in front of the mirror for long, dont even look in a mirror unless doing your makeup in the morning. I find it helpful to stand as far back from the mirror as you can, dont go up close whatever you do! -Try not to be home alone. For me, being home alone means i can pick to my hearts content without being interruptted, having someone see me post-picking spree ect ect. If you are home alone, follow point #1 very closely! -Write yourself a letter. I know, sounds stupid but actually very motivating. After my worst picking spree in months, i felt SO shitty i decided to write myself a letter about how bad i felt, with the date and time, and told my self FOR REAL, this is the LAST time i will ever pick. When i get the urge i stop, and go read the letter to knock some sense into my want-to-pick self, from my just-picked-and-hate-myself self. lol.
Always been a picker...
sh1234 replied to Nini1989's topic in Skin pickingIve come to realize that ill always be a picker, you just have to work at it and get yourself focused so you can control yourself. The urge will always be there, even with clear skin (at least for me anyways). Just have to learn how to manage it and do as little damage as possible.
Have you ever squeezed THIS hard?Help!
sh1234 replied to DogLover95's topic in Skin pickingyes yes and yes. all of the above lol. be careful!!! I once squeezed so hard and pushed it so deep into my skin it became a HUGE cyst that i had to go on accutane for and have a scar/caved in skin almost 6 years later.
Dry, burning red scaly skin around the mouth and edge of the mouth and its corners
sh1234 replied to Axraa's topic in Skin pickingSounds like maybe perioral dermatitis. I had this before and had to go to the doc for antibitotics and a special cream which cleared it right up and has never returned. Maybe google it and see if it looks like what you have.
