Confidence key to learning at Barunga
Jun 11, 2013 , 3:52 PM by Vicki Kerrigan
Here is one of those questions we asked repeatedly and no one seems to have the answer. How do we, as a community, get kids in remote indigenous communities to attend school? What stops the kids from going to school in the first place?
The Principal at Barunga school has a really interesting perspective on those questions, "A lot of kids actually don't think they can learn to read, they think maybe it's mystical." Phillip Hearnden believes before the kids are taught the reading, writing and arithmetic, they need to overcome confidence issues and they need to overcome the shame of going to school.
Click on the audio link to eavesdrop on a school assembly in which the kids at Barunga school learn about the importance of being confident. To make learning about confidence fun, the kids sing a song about a little girl called "Connie Confidence."
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
It is great to see some great activities and learning happening in the Northern Territory. Mr Hearndon sounds like an experienced practitioner. Hats off to him and his colleagues at Barunga. It is great to see a positive thing from the NT for a change.
Posted by: john Kotlash | Jun 11, 2013 at 09:50 PM
I can relate to the challenges that Mr. Hearnden faces in getting the students to accept the learning processes, especially when their culture and upbringing has taught them a totally adverse path of life.
In America, the inner cities have a lot of black and Hispanic children. Their culture also steers them away from getting an education.
I agree with Mr. Hearnden, "Before you can teach, you must reach" the minds of these young children. We do such a poor job of this in America...probably because of the laws we have and we tie the hands of the teachers. Teachers need more flexibility in that area. Hopefully, Mr. Hearnden has that flexibility.
I wish Mr. Hearnden all the luck in the world on his educational endeavors and challenges.

4:10 gears? if you want to change gears for better fuel economy you need to go with something like a 3:08 or 3:42 ratio. depending on the year your PW is a full time 4X4 and probably is someware around a 3:42 gear ratio. A lockout kit will help a bit if you have not already converted it. Remember the higher the number the lower the gear ratio which gives more power but less fuel economy.
Also if I remember correctly the power wagons did not have an overdrive trans. Easy to retro-fit a later model chrysler OD trans into your wagon with the kits available now that include the wire harness and computer and the prices are not bad, Would sure beat a $450 car payment and that HIGH insurance.

REVIEW STAFF

Hwy. 6 is a multi-lane thoroughfare that takes commuters from Hwy. 403 to Hwy. 401. But the Flamborough stretch of the busy highway is more than just a connector road. Hwy. 6 is home to numerous businesses and residences – a community. In an attempt to keep that community safe, the Hamilton Police Service is launching a problem-oriented policing (POP) initiative.

Safe on Six, which will run for the next three months, will see officers with Hamilton's police service actively patrol the stretch of roadway between Clappison's Corners and Maddaugh Road.

The POP will focus on a variety of traffic initiatives to help curb excessive speeding, distracted driving incidences, ensure seatbelt compliance and promote overall safety on the highway and its adjoining concessions and roads.

Although the Ontario Provincial Police typically patrols Hwy. 6, members of the Hamilton Police Service often hear from concerned residents who travel or live along that stretch.

"We are still responsible for the community," said HPS constable Anthony Vlope.

Throughout the three-month initiative, HPS will keep track of the number of stops, interactions and citations. Following the completion of the POP, officers will review the data, which Vlope expects will shed light on just how busy the highway is. The data can also be used to develop other POP initiatives.

The timing of this POP couldn't be better, noted Vlope. For the next three months, motorists can expect snow and icy conditions on the highway. "There have been collisions, which resulted in deaths due to bad weather. Educating people that, just because the road is straight and true, it doesn't mean that there is no ice or wind (that could affect driving conditions)," said the officer.

In addition, Vlope wants to reassure residents that police are taking steps to promote safety. "The biggest thing is reassuring the people...that they are being heard, they are being focused on and they haven't been forgotten," he said. "Each day that we are out there enforcing traffic, they are always in mind because we hear their stories."

Painting wall for Projector
Hello everyone,
I'm finishing off my basement and will be putting a projector down there - I want to shine the projector directly on the wall - I wanted to know if there is a color and finish that is the best to paint the wall where the projector will be shining?
Thanks a lot.
Buying a screen might, in fact, be cheaper.
I've seen quite a few posts online saying that Sherwin Williams SuperPaint Flat in Luminous White was the way to go. (You'll have to ask for the Luminous white, at least at the stores I go to, they put the Extra White out front.)

Beyond the Plate: September Soup & Substance looks into food ethics
Posted by Samantha Esguerra '11 on Thursday, Sep. 23, 2010
The University of Minnesota, Morris (UMM) will host its first monthly Soup & Substance of the fall semester in the Student Center's Alumni Room on campus on Thursday, September 30, 2010, at 6 p.m. The event provides an open forum for members of Stevens County and UMM communities to discuss issues of local, national, and international importance. The September edition will focus on the issue of food ethics.
Soup & Substance pairs a delicious free meal with a meaningful discussion. This event is open to all who wish to share their opinions and experiences. The September Soup & Substance will delve into topics such as locally versus nonlocally grown food, consumption and waste, organic versus nonorganic, and other ethical dilemmas and issues regarding food today.
"Let's face it, as soon as we get our grumbling stomachs down to the Dining Hall, wait in line, patiently (or not so patiently) get our U-Cards checked, and enter yet another line (good luck to those who want stir-fry), we don't even care where or how our food got to us—we want it now," said Maria Fleck, first-year UMM student who is co-organizing the forum. "Yet, it's actually something we should think about."
The Office of Community Engagement and the Movement for Animal Rights by Concerned Humans (MARCH) will host the event, with participation from other groups and people of the UMM and Stevens County communities.
Everyone is welcome to join the discussion and enjoy a free meal.

ordering X3 , BT question
Hi all,
I'm new to X3. I'm going to order a X3 28i and have some question hopefully some X3 owners can help
if I don't order the Techno pkg, will I be able to stream music/podcast from an iPhone through USB?
If not, can I order the "Enhanced USB and Bluetooth plus Smartphone integration" separately from the techno pkg?
If you order it with Navi without Tech, you get the Enhanced USB and Bluetooth. Works great with Spotifly.
What Artie said...also, if you order without tech and without the nav option, BT is standard in the X3 (according to my dealer- I just bought one this weekend and pick it up today). I opted for Nav on the one I configured though because it and the other items that come with it integrate so well and have a lot to offer. They had one almost identical to my config on the lot though, but it had the full tech package and they made me a deal so I just went with that.
Whatever you do- ordering or not, I recommend walking in with a "configuration" that you "really" want. If they have something close, they'll usually err on the side of more than what you configured, then you can hand them the paper that shows you don't need all of those extras and they'll usually work with you on the price. I got mine with the full tech and full drivers assist package for less than I was planning to pay without the packages just because they would rather move current inventory than order new.
ordering X3 , BT question
I strongly advise you to get the tech package which will save you a lot of headache :)
Make sure you get the MY14~

Publication Acceptance Date: 9/7/2007
Publication Date: 10/22/2007
Citation: Koonen, D.P., Febbraio, M., Bonnet, S., Nagendran, J., Young, M.E., Michelakis, E.D., Dyck, J.R. 2007. CD36 expression contributes to age induced cardiomyopathy in mice. Circulation. 116(19):2139-2147. Interpretive Summary: Elderly individuals have an increased risk of heart disease. An excess of fatty acids (beyond the ability to burn them as a fuel) has been associated with heart disease. This study investigated whether age-related changes in the ability of the heart to take up fatty acids from the circulation contribute toward increased heart disease with aging. CD36 promoted the uptake of fatty acids. CD36 levels were found to be increased in the heart with age. Removal of CD36 from the heart improved heart function in elderly animals. These data suggest that increased CD36 levels in the aging heart might contribute toward heart disease.
Technical Abstract: Cardiac remodeling and impaired cardiac performance in the elderly significantly increase the risk of developing heart disease. Although vascular abnormalities associated with aging contribute to the age-related decline in cardiac function, myocardium-specific events may also be involved. We show that intramyocardial lipid accumulation, as well as a reduction in both fatty acid and glucose oxidation and a subsequent deterioration in cardiac ATP supply, also occurs in aged mice. Consistent with an energetically compromised heart, hearts from aged mice display depressed myocardial performance and cardiac hypertrophy. Associated with this is a dramatic increase in the fatty acid transport protein CD36 in aged hearts compared with young hearts, which suggests that CD36 is a mediator of these multiple metabolic, functional, and structural alterations in the aged heart. In accordance with this, hearts from aged CD36-deficient mice have lower levels of intramyocardial lipids, demonstrate improved mitochondria-derived ATP production, have significantly enhanced function compared with aged wild-type mice, and have a blunted hypertrophic response. These findings provide evidence that CD36 mediates an age-induced cardiomyopathy in mice and suggest that inhibition of CD36 may be an approach for the treatment of the detrimental age-related effects on cardiac performance.

The biggest change in Zoho Writer 2.0 is essentially what the company calls their MenuTab interface, which, similar to Microsofts Ribbon UI for Office, attempts to eliminate the clutter by grouping commands under general headings based on functionality such as formatting and reviewing. However, those uncomfortable with the new tabbed interface can also use these elements as traditional drop down menus, as it is shown in the picture above. The core frame setup remains the same, with document listing on the left, editor on the right and the ability to open multiple files as tabs.
This online word processor also boasts collaborative editing as well as offline functionality through Google Gears and integration with other Zoho services. Check out more information here.

Michigan Supreme Court Ruling May Effect Genesee County Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
When Michigan initially passed the approval of medical marijuana, you knew there was going to be some legal complications. Now. thanks to a Michigan Supreme Court ruling, Genesee county dispensaries may be dealing with a legal headache.
It's kind of mind blowing that people can walk into a store and buy marijuana, but thanks to dispensaries located through out the state, you can do just that. For now at least, as a the Michigan Supreme court is reviewing a case to shut down such businesses for being a public nuisance.
The case stems from Isabella County, where in August of 2011, a 3 judge panel ruled to shut down Mount Pleasant dispensary, Compassionate Apothecary, based on patient-to-patient sales.
The ruling will hopefully serve as a clarification of existing laws and it doesn't seem like medical marijuana is in danger, just the way it's distributed. Lapeer County Prosecutor Byron Konschuh, claims the issue isn't in caregiver-to-patient relationships, it's when patients starting selling to each other, which happens at certain dispensaries. Other prescription drugs are not permitted to be sold on a patient-to-patient level and Konschuh claims marijuana should be no different.
"They want to treat marijuana as a medicine and share it socially, like a beer," he said. "Either you're using it as a medication or it's a social thing."
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton claimed the dispensaries within county limits will be permitted to stay open, unless they become declared a public nuisance.
It's a complicated issue, and I'm sure there will be more chapters that unfold in the story of Michigan Medical Marijuana.

On Philippine Cybercrime Act of 2012
Technological developments, nay, social progress must lead to increased democratization and not to more curtailment of freedoms. The advent of the Internet and related technologies has opened a wide and free access to democratic space wherein ordinary citizens, including the oppressed workers and, in general, the laboring and propertyless masses, could participate in studying and gathering information and discussing social and political issues.
The Internet has evolved into such a powerful democratic tool that upheavals in other parts of the world were aided by the use of this cheap technology to organize netizens and gather them for collective action against oppressive governments. Such was the case in the Middle East and North Africa which saw the downfall of despotic regimes, in Europe where thousands upon thousands took to the streets against the austerity measures and in the United States where the Occupy Wall St. movement was launched against the world's richest capitalists, or the global 1%. The graffiti "Thank you Facebook" painted on several of Tunisia's walls during the Arab Spring sums up this modern phenomenon.
The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 represents for the Philippines a backward step in this development. The law is replete with repressive provisions that violate democratic rights enshrined in the 1987 Constitution. It legitimizes government censorship through Sec. 19, which authorizes the Department of Justice to issue an order to restrict or block access to any content. It institutes in Sec. 12 a regime of surveillance of all system users by authorizing law enforcers to collect or record traffic data in real-time associated with specified communications. It curtails free speech with its libel provision (Sec. 4) and treatment of Internet use as an aggravating circumstance that increases penalties for crimes defined under the Revised Penal Code (Sec. 6).
With the Cybercrime Prevention Act, the Philippine government has caught on to the global trend of denying mass and social movements access to effective means for articulating their demands. Based on several studies published by the OpenNet Initiative, starting the year 2000, governments across the world realized the threat to the power structure posed by the Internet where the freest of speech is expressed. Hence, governments adopted filtering, censorship and surveillance practices in order to restrict, block or control access.
These studies show that filtering practices and policies vary widely among countries, the most notorious of which is the "Great Firewall of China". Blocked content spans a wide range of social and political topics and governments justify their filtering by referring to one content category, such as pornography, while other content categories were also being blocked. OpenNet Initiative noted "the tendency toward 'mission creep' --- that is, once filtering systems were adopted for whatever reason, state authorities would be tempted to employ them to deal with other vexing public policy issues." In the meantime, state authorities harness the Internet in a way that promotes government-friendly content.
In the Philippines, where official statistics of Filipino families that have experienced hunger rose to 21 percent or about 4.3 million in the past three months; where, according to the Commission on Audit, over 100 billion pesos were lost to corruption under Pnoy's Daang Matuwid; where elite governance and Trapo politics dominate; where the workers and the poor masses face the constant threat of starvation, high prices of basic commodities and services, termination from jobs and demolition, the Internet provides yet another powerful venue to criticize anti-worker/, anti-poor policies, articulate progressive demands, and subject government to public scrutiny and accountability.
The Internet represents an increasingly contested space where the Philippine State seeks to close all avenues of popular challenge to elite rule and governance. It is a domain wherein conflicts between the elite who are the rulers and the majority who are ruled take place. We must not yield a single inch of our freedoms.
PLM Picket at COMELEC Against Cybercrime Law
National political party calls for the junking of senators who voted for the Cybercrime Law
Partido Lakas ng Masa (PLM), a certified national political party of the marginalized sectors, takes up the campaign against Cybercrime Law by calling for the junking of senators who voted for the Cybercrime Law during the coming elections.
Around a hundred PLM members staged a rally in front of the Comelec building on October 5, the last day of filing for candidacy for those running in the 2013 elections.
PLM identified the fourteen senators who voted for the Cybercrime Law, namely: Senators Edgardo Angara, Jinggoy Estrada, Gringo Honasan, Ping Lacson, Lito Lapid, Loren Legarda, Koko Pimentel, Bong Revilla, Tito Sotto, Ralph Recto, Manny Villar, Pia Cayetano, Bongbong Marcos and Chiz Escudero. The last four senators however (Senators Angara, Cayetano, Marcos, and Escudero) have either passed an amendment against the online libel provision of the law or said they would work for the law's revision.
Sonny Melencio, chairman of PLM, said, "We call for the junking of the Cybercrime Law and the junking of the senators, who voted for it, during the coming elections. We will however stop the Junk campaign if the senators involved are ready to reverse their position, or amend the harsh, punitive, and anti-democratic provisions of law."
"Out of fourteen senators, we will focus on ten senators who have not changed their support to the Cybercrime Law. This is not a blackmail, but a responsible response to the martial law character of the law. The Cybercrime Law imposes a chilling effect on the population, especially the youth and the Netizens in the country, who will be severely affected by so-called online libel and other issues," Melencio stressed.
"The campaign will hit the grassroots community and factories nationwide where PLM has a base. Because of the severity of the issue, we want to hit the senators where it will hurt most—the votes," Melencio ended.

I was looking online to find a decent dental office that had a reasonable price for teeth whitening since my insurance doesnt cover whtiening. Looked at the reviews for a place called Just Smile dental hygiene clinic, and saw that they were offering it for free. Called them and they said that the whitening would always be free if i would chose to get my teeth cleaned at their office. 45 minutes in the office they would do the whitening for free?? Sounded to good to be true so i decided to book an appointment and see. I booked an appointment then someone called me to confirm. It took two hours to do cleaning and whitening and i kinda got tired but it was worth it. Never had my teeth this white because i am a smoker.
In Office Teeth Whitening in Toronto
Just an update i started using at home trays to...
I found this place through google. I am not sure if they still have that offer.
Will let you know what happens after 3 months
My experience? After the whitening they emailed me the before and after pictures so you can see for your self. It was a little to long since i got a cleaning and a whitening in two hours time, but it was worth it. I don't remember what materials they used but i didn't have any pain sensitivity or any other things that people mention in this site. Just had to be patient and let the gel on my teeth for 45 minutes They also called me afterwards to see if i was doing ok. Recommended not to use any stainning foods or drinks for 2 days. It was hard for me to follow up coz i am a smoker :) My advice to you guys is to find out if there are new dental or dental hygiene offices around your area cause they do have discounts on whitening to attract people.

Thomas's 80-yard punt return was a thing of beauty. He took an initial blow, changed course and ramped untouched to the end zone. It was the kind of play that should have Chiefs fans excited this young man, small in size, has big play abilities in him that will make him a fan favorite in no time.
2. QB Alex Smith - I don't want to make excuses about his poor play on Thursday night, nor ponder how they might be related to his limbo contract situation, but he looked preoccupied to me. His throws were off and the fact he didn't ever settle his feet in the pocket, may have had something to do with those other things scrambling in his brain.
Granted to the detriment of his performance, the first team offensive line wasn't very good. Add that with the fact, the lack of separation his receivers failed to when he threw the ball, didn't help much either. I'm hoping my take on his overall performance has more to do with the rust in his game rather than the contract situation that needs to get settled sooner rather than later.
I had heard his agent, Tom Condon, was invited to Arrowhead Thursday night so let's hope he and General Manager, John Dorsey, (if that meeting actually occurred), set in motion the parameters for a new contract extension.
3. TE Travis Kelce - You know Dorsey was jumping up and down in his private box when Kecle scampered 69 yards to the end zone late in the second half Thursday night. Some criticized the Chiefs General Manager a year ago for taking Kelce. Making matters worse, the things he saw in this young man in college, didn't show up until last nights big play.
Next to Running Back, Jamaal Charles and Smith, this offense might not have a more dynamic performer than the former Cincinnati Bearcat. Kelce has solid hands, quick feet and knows what to do in open spaces. I can't wait to see his game evolve over the rest of the summer.
4. CB Sean Smith - If the Chiefs are going to find salvation in their secondary this season, the man in the bowels of Andy Reid's doghouse, made a statement last night, he doesn't like being a back-up player. His pick six should move him ahead of Ron Parker, who was torched in his first half of work. That one play should give Smith a legitimate shot to become the opening day starter opposite, Marcus Cooper.
To be fair, Smith's off the field issues probably had something to do with his second team status. But his high stepping vault into the end zone last night, reminded Chiefs fans why Dorsey coveted his services a year ago in free agency. Smith is relevant to the Chiefs chances to reclaim some dignity on defense and last night was a good starting point for that to occur.
5. RB Cyrus Gray - Even after back-up running back, Knile Davis, made some nice plays in the second quarter, it was his back-up that ran the best Thursday night. Gray led the Chiefs in rushing with 55 yards. He also pushed across what would prove to be the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter.
I really didn't think Gray had much of a chance to make this roster but I'm rethinking my stance a bit. Then again, he did the same thing a year ago in the exhibition season. If the Chiefs use Thomas more as a receiver, something I believe they should do, Gray would be a solid third string running back to have in the Chiefs back pocket down the road.
6. QB Chase Daniel & Tyler Bray - Outside of the touchdown pass to Kelce, Daniel didn't have a very good game for the Chiefs. Yes I know he completed eight of his ten passes but on the difficulty meter, only a pair of them required much skill. That said, he had difficulty seeing over the line of scrimmage and his floater in the second half resulted in a Bengals pick six. After this performance I'm not sold he's going to be KC's back-up.
On the flip side, Bray didn't have a very good game either. Before the game Reid told last nights local broadcasting crew he felt Bray was the most improved player on the roster from a year ago. If that's the case, Bray must have a solid game a week from Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, to prove those words are indeed factual.
7. DE Jaye Howard - Throughout the last week the more people I spoke with kept telling me that Jaye Howard was a player the Chiefs could count on in 2014. With injuries to Mike Devito and Mike Catapano, Howard played some outstanding minutes for KC's defense last night.
In fact, his play was so solid, I would not be shocked if he pushed for starting minutes, especially if DeVito is out longer than initially feared. Either way it's good to see the Chiefs develop another rotation guy that could ultimately become a spot starter at a position of great need for this defense.
Chiefs Post Game Quotes:
QB Alex Smith - "Not what we were looking for especially for first team offense. Good to be out there playing football, real, live football for me. It's the first opportunities as QBs. Even when we go live at this point in training camp, we're not really live. First real experience back into real bullets and getting hit."
Head Coach Andy Reid - "Sean Smith did a nice job. The pick-six was a beautiful play. He played physical. He had the one penalty, but he had a huge play and that's a good thing. He's been working his tail off."
LB Joe Mays - "Some things you need to work on. Tackles, we need to stop giving up the big plays, and we just need to be more consistent out there on the field. So it's a couple of things – minor things – but I think we will be able to accomplish that."
LB Dee Ford - "It felt good; I was introduced to the NFL. It was a great atmosphere, not the complete atmosphere that I will see in the regular season but it was an awesome atmosphere."

'I survived' - Holland, MI - The Holland Sentinel
Zeeland ministry director to be featured on TV show about surviving brush with death
Posted Jan 15, 2010 @ 01:57 PM
Holland, MI —
Phil Snyder has relived countless times in his mind the December day in 2005 in Haiti when he was shot, kidnapped and held for ransom as his abductors threatened to end his life.
On Sunday he'll relive it again, this time on his television set.
Snyder's harrowing tale of his brush with death will be featured on the Biography Channel's "I Survived" television show, which will air at 9 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 17.
"It's been a long time to produce it," Amber said. "It's the first time they have ever depicted an international incident on any of the 'I Survived' shows, so it took a long time to get it produced."
Phil Snyder knows all too well how his story ends. And he lives almost daily with the terrifying details.
He was in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, to secure a medical visa for a 6-year-old boy who needed to come to the United States for eye surgery. After picking up the boy and his father, Snyder was driving down the street near Port Au Prince when a rock struck the windshield of his vehicle. Seconds later, shots rang out.
Snyder was hit in the arm, and the trio was taken away at gun point. After some intense negotiating by the FBI and Snyder's family members, the trio was released more than day after being captured.
"Phil was convinced they were going to kill him," Amber said. "They reminded him several times an hour that they were going to take pleasure in his death."

First class action lawsuit filed in State Fair stage collapse
INDIANAPOLIS - For the first time, a class action lawsuit has been filed in the Indiana State Fair tragedy.
Seven people have died since the stage collapse before a Sugarland concert on August 13th. Dozens more were injured, but the woman named in the suit was none of those.
For the average viewer, the images are disturbing and the aftermath is hard to watch. For many of those at the concert when the stage collapsed, it was a life-changing event.
"It's like a movie that doesn't stop," said Angela Fischer, plaintiff.
The seventh victim, Meagan Toothman, died Monday, and many others are recovering from fractures and other serious injuries. But it is the emotional toll it took on people like Angela Fischer that is the basis of the first class action lawsuit filed since that accident nearly two weeks ago.
"It's about helping people without a voice. Helping people I saw take a last breath in front of me," she said.
The lawsuit, filed against several state agencies and those who put on the show at the fair, claims negligence. In large part it blames what attorneys say was a problem with the construction of the stage, not the weather.
"The structure itself failed or was not adequately inspected," said Jeff Hammond, attorney.
"I will go to my grave believing that structure was not sound," said Fischer.
Although the class action suit includes anyone physically impacted by the collapse, the argument centers around the emotional distress. For that reason, legal experts caution it could be a challenge to hold up in court.
The attorneys, who say they'll waive all fees in the state's portion of the case, believe they're suit is strong and valid.
"Mistakes were made, procedures were not followed," said Richard Sheritz, attorney.
Suggested Links
They maintain what is difficult for the average person to watch was devastating for those in attendance to witness.
"I never want someone I love to go through that trauma again," said Fischer.
The attorneys who filed the suit also take issue with the state's $5 million cap on claims. Along with waiving their fees against the state, they are encouraging other attorneys in this case to do the same.

Some local ports still to comply with international security code
-Guyana's certification at risk
Some local ports are still to comply with the international security code implemented in the wake of the 9/11 attacks and since all private and public facilities have to be compliant, Guyana could face blacklisting.
The Shipping Association of Guyana (SAG) recently held a seminar for port operators aimed at reinforcing the need for continued observance and correction of all port and wharf protection systems and procedures in keeping with the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code.
The meeting stemmed from the findings and recommendations, made by the US Coast Guard during a 2013 visit to inspect the local facilities ahead of the issuance of the 2014-2019 Compliance Certificate. The team identified the absence of the "unrelenting" execution of Port Security requirements at some wharf facilities as a major shortcoming, the Shipping Association said in a press release. The US Coast Guard is the designated authority for enforcement of the ISPS Code.
Every public and privately held maritime facility must be compliant before Guyana could achieve certification. The Code requires, among other things that security personnel are always present, that fences and partitions are constructed to specific heights and that security cameras are always functional. The US team also found that while the Port Facility Security Plans at most local wharf facilities were in place, they were treated as contingencies rather than a way of life.
This, they said, was a recurring theme throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.
Since then, the release said that the Shipping Association had taken a proactive approach to sector sensitization and, in collaboration with the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) hosted a seminar to bolster compliance with international port security.
Guyana has been a signatory to the International Maritime Conventions, specifically the Safety of Life At Sea (SOLAS) Convention for more than a decade. After the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US World Trade Centre, the International Maritime Organisation amended the SOLAS in order to strengthen maritime safety. The resulting SOLAS Chapter 74 Amendment XI became the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code which every nation traversing the seas and oceans of the world is required to sign on to.
As such, every wharf and maritime facility in Port Georgetown, Berbice and Essequibo is required to put in place specific measures to guard against any type of maritime terrorist activity.
From the commencement of the ISPS Code in 2004, the local shipping association has been working with the MARAD to ensure that local ports remain ISPS compliant, the release said.
Association Chairman Desmond Sears said there is need for staff at all levels of wharf operations to ensure that everyone develops awareness of the Code and its requirements, bearing in mind the negative national economic consequences that could result from non-compliance.
He said that at those facilities where the "system of issuing daily reminders to Guards" was implemented, the supervisors found that it engendered serious enquiries and consequent discussions that led to visible improvements.
"There are considerable challenges to successful implementation of the ISPS Code, but non-compliance could result in a USCG [US Coast Guard] Advisory which may black-list a Port," he said. "Implementation of this Code is no mean task as both time and money must be expended by both Government and Terminal Owners/Operators in order to sustain Guyana's compliance", he said.
Sears appreciated MARAD's immediate agreement to contribute their expertise to the seminar and applauded their consistent pursuit of long-term goals that would ensure the safety and well-being of the nation.
According to the press statement, representatives from the Guyana National Shipping Corporation, the Guyana Oil Company, Courtney Benn Con-tracting Services, Benjamin's Marine and Salvaging Company, Demerara Shipping, Regal Shipping, Bosai Minerals, Guyana National Industrial Company, John Fernandes Ltd, the Guyana Power and Light and other operators of cargo/freight terminals, wharves and customs brokerages attended the seminar.

Senator Davis believes providing an excellent public education system is the state's most-important responsibility. While most lawmakers were mired in so-called "emergency" bills in 2011, Senator Davis made education funding her emergency. Education is the path to success for all Texas families, preparing our children for college, workforce training, and a competitive job market to support a strong Texas economy for generations. Senator Davis is committed to fighting for all schoolchildren, so that they will benefit from the opportunities that public education can provide. On behalf of thousands of parents, educators and business owners who contacted the Senate District 10 Office, Senator Davis took a stand against deep funding cuts forced by the powerful special interests and the failed legislative majority. She even filibustered a fiscal bill at the end of the regular 82nd Legislative Session that would cause harm to our public schools and hurt Texas' ability to keep and attract jobs.

Here are some recent reviews:
Here is a nice overview from Crutchfields website:
Our take on the LG 60LA8600
by Steve Kindig
A beautiful blend of art and science
LG's 60LA8600 has one of the thinnest bezels we've seen, creating a virtually edgeless look that photos really don't do justice to. Picture quality is just as exceptional thanks to LG's "LED Plus" backlight with local dimming. The screen responds instantly as scenes get brighter or darker — you'll enjoy consistently high picture contrast with deep black levels. Sports fans will love the way this set's 240Hz refresh rate keeps on-screen motion smooth and clear.
Up-to-the-minute Smart TV features
LG offers some of the web-savviest TVs available. The 60LA8600's built-in web apps give you instant access to a nearly limitless selection of entertainment — streamed video from services like Netflix®, Vudu®, and Hulu Plus™, music from Pandora® and Rhapsody®, social networking, and lots more. A dual-core processor really speeds up web browsing and app multitasking. LG's user-friendly TV/web interface makes navigation a piece of cake.
The 60LA8600's built-in pop-up camera makes it easy to stay connected with friends and family through Skype.
LG's latest Magic Remote is no ordinary "clicker"
The 60LA8600 comes with LG's redesigned motion-sensing Magic Remote. We liked last year's version, and this new one is even better. The gesture control capability makes it easy to search and select web entertainment just by pointing and clicking. It's very similar to using a wireless videogame controller or an air mouse. Other nice touches include a scroll wheel and a built-in microphone for voice commands. The Magic Remote really shines with this set's Smart TV features. When you're used to navigating your computer screen with a mouse or trackpad, an old-school button-based TV remote feels kind of clunky in comparison.
There's also a pop-up camera on the top of the TV that makes it easy to stay in touch with friends and family through Skype®. This big, sharp screen makes room for multiple people to join in the conversation.
Comfortable, compelling 3D viewing, and amazing two-player gaming
Enjoy the immersive 3D experience of the movie theater at home with LG's Cinema 3D technology. The 3D effects are impressive, and with 2D-to-3D conversion and 3D depth control, you get to choose how strong the 3D effect is. LG's passive 3D glasses are comfortable and lightweight, and 4 pairs are included with the 60LA8600 so your family and friends won't miss out on the fun. And don't forget that LG's 3D TVs are wonderful for 2D video, as well. LG Cinema 3D is perfect for enjoying theater-like 3D movies and video games with the family. And because this TV is Full HD in both 2D and 3D, you get an extraordinary picture no matter what you are watching.
LG's latest screen technology also means that you can now enjoy two-player gaming on the same TV without the need for a split screen. Two players can compete independently and see the action on a full screen. Note: Two-player gaming mode requires LG's special AG-F310DP glasses which are sold separately.

Thanks for the info. A 70" version will be awesome! The borderless cinema screen really adds the appearance of looking thru a window. Looks fantastic!
I have a problem with 'simplink', I had it with my previous LG tv too. Whenever you change input simplink would stop working. Turning simplink off/on it would resume functioning with the device.
However with the LA8600. You cannot change back to the devices HDMI input while simplink is not working. Also turning simplink on/off changes the audio settings from 'external' back to tv speakers. I think firmware bug for the audio setting being reset by turning simplink on/off.
Pairing it up with an onkyo tx-nr717 receiver, directv hr34, lg bp530 blu ray player ( replacing a lg superblu BH200 )
So any tips for initial setup?
Dunno if its my media player or the tv, but DTS audio I can hear a ever so faintly drop volume for a millisecond every 10 or 15 minutes if the tv or amp decodes the audio but if I make the mediaplayer decode the sound is fine.
I would like to hear if other people notice anything similar to this?
Can't wait to sit back and watch a movie on it later today.
The LG 60LA8600 model is classified as the no. 1 in the 60`and larger category, in the Dec. edition of Consumer Reports.
It seems that this model is not much talked about here.
I`d be curious to know why!
I purchased the 60 inch recently (in part due to CR) and am very pleased with it. I was previously a plasma only zealot, in part due to the superior viewing angle, but this panel does not disappoint. I think it's not talked about much because it doesn't have many issues, and because its not (Samsung/Sony/etc).
I purchased a 55la8600 from sears picture quality is great love how you can customize video settings in 3d etc. I recorded a video with the skype camera that I'm still trying to figure how to get it off the tv and upload it to one of our shared PCs. Also I've had the tv randomly reset itself once in a while. It doesn't repeat and doesn't really happen often to outway the pros of the tv but i've read lg tvs have had this problem in the past so now i'm kinda concerned. Any input would be appreciated glad to find this thread.
Eddy - do you have the auto-update turned on? If so, that may be what is causing your TV to reset. We you get your TV, it is behind on firmware updates. It should settle down now...
Hi guys! New to the forums...some feedback since I just bought the TV a couple of weeks back. Hope this helps anyone looking for advise on this for Black Friday...
Just bought the LG 55LA8600 here in Toronto. Got a great deal on the TV. Dell was advertising this for $2699 (original price) and had a discount of $1410 on it which obviously was a mistake. But while the ad was active, I bought the TV at Best Buy with price match. Next day the deal was gone from Dell and when it was reposted, it had a discount of $410 and not $1410 as was showing previously.
Anyways, considering what I paid for it, I am very happy. I'd not have been as happy had I paid anything over $1600- $1700 for this TV. Here's why...
- Pretty bad backlight bleed on top and bottom left and right of the TV. Top left is the worst
- Black levels - I found them generally okay but then I've never had any true black Plasmas to compare it to. I did a side by side comparison against the Samsung UN55F6800 and the LG is a clear clear winner
- LED clear motion (smoothing, clear plus, clear etc) is very very bad and you get that ghastly soap opera feel when watching it. Breaking Bad looked like Bold and the Beautiful - which is saying a lot. Turn it off though and you're back to normal.
- Samsung's app store is better designed than LG but all apps are still there..
- App store UI is so much better with Samsung
- Amazing picture quality once you tinker around with some presets
- Cinema and ISF presets are pretty good
- Game play - playing Fifa 14 on Xbox 360 is awesome however compared to the Samsung the game play picture looks considerably soft. Not sure why..
- Netflix, Plex Media Server, youtube etc works like a charm with great quality
- Played a couple of 3D BR movies and they look amazing - Passive 3D but still tires your eyes after an hour or so of watching - much better than Samsung Active 3D - I had a headache watching that for 10 mins
- Remote is very sweet.. However, it doesn't connect to my Cable Box as the Samsung remote/TV did
- Connectivity options are amazing - Plex is working like a charm, so is my NAS,
- Miracast mirrorring also works like a charm. There's still some pixellation from time to time but overall it's great
- Haven't tried MHL yet..or Wifi Direct
- Youtube app works well - never worked on the Samsung TV
- TV looks awesome.. very very thin bezel
- The sound is great compared to the Samsung - it's got a subwoofer as well plus a sound mode called "Smart Sound" which automatically changes sound mode based on what you're watching
Can't really think of anything else. If you have questions, please ask and I will reply as soon as I get a chance.
hi guys, I just bought LG 47LA8600 - im really happy with the decision , great PQ and awesome features. however im afraid the led is suffering from some amount of clouding.
I've been reading the reviews and im confused, is clouding normal ? please check the pics attached and let me know if I should I get the led replaced (while I still have 7 days left to replace - however, no guarantee's if the other led will be better or worse) or is the below condition normal.
the clouding is visible in pitch black room with standard tv settings, and it gets better almost perfect when I change the settings to cinema mode. the first is cinema mode, and the later is standard setting.
please advice

Sisters of Mercy (edition 2012)
by Caroline Overington
Work details
Sisters of Mercy by Caroline Overington
No current Talk conversations about this book.
An easy read. Snow is a complex, memorable character, but not in a good way! Her justifications for her actions are totally plausible and reasonable to her, but to the reader she is an absolute sociopath with a warped sense of morality. I enjoyed it.
I'd like to rate this as 3.5 as it's more than a 3 but not quite a 4. I enjoyed the book very much but found the ending just too frustratingly open-ended without some hints of what might have happened. The main character, Snow Delaney, is in prison charged with child abuse and neglect. A qualified nurse she had been fostering severely disabled children in a large house belonging to an elderly women who was a close neighbour and surrogate aunt of her partner Mark. Mark has a gambling addiction and spends most of the money Snow receives for fostering the children. When a journalist Jack Fawcett writes a story about Snow she starts to write to him from prison to tell him the 'real' story and the story unfolds slowly in a progressive series of letters.
Snow has also been implicated in the disappearance of her newly discovered sister Agnes, whose presence in the UK was only discovered when Snow's father died. Agnes travels to Australia to meet Snow but after becoming distressed at what she observes in Snow's home disappears the following morning before her flight home. Although there are some shocking revelations in the book, little more is revealed about Agnes' disappearance. Her body is never found and there is no consideration of other explanations, such as the possibility that Snow's partner could have murdered her without Snow's involvement.
The author is a journalist and I very much enjoyed her clear writing style in telling this story. The story unfolds easily and naturally and the lack of empathy displayed by Snow is quite chilling. However, I think the conclusion was a bit flat and the novel could have been more gripping in places, with a few more hints of what might have happened to Agnes.
Caroline Overington writes books about the darker side of life and I have enjoyed her books so far but this one I did not like as much. The main character Snow discovers at the reading of her father's will that she has a sister Agnes that she knew nothing about and that her father has left half his money to her. Agnes says that she does not want her share of the money but comes to Australia from England to meet Snow. However she does not make it onto the plane home. At the start of the book we have Snow in prison (for what crime we do not really know) and her sister missing. Snow turns to journalist Jack Fawcett protesting her innoncence in a series of letters. It is not until the end of the book that we find out why she is in prison and the end is more, and more upsetting that what you could have imagined at the beginning. I did not like the character of Snow because I could not condone her actions, and the ending of the book was for me unsatisfying which is why I have not rated it very high. I have read reviews where people really liked it and liked the character of Snow but that was not me, so only an average rating.
This book has an interesting structure: the main narration is by Jack "Tap" Fawcett, a journalist who has been following the disappearance of Agnes Moore, a British visitor to Sydney, and the trial of her sister Snow Delaney for cruelty to the disabled children in her care.
Through letters from prison to Jack, Snow recounts her life story to the point where her father dies and she discovers through the lawyer who is the executor of her estate that she has an older sister to whom she must offer half of her considerable inheritance.
The author uses world and Australian events such as "the dismissal" of Gough Whitlam in 1975 to place the novel in time. Agnes Moore, born in London in 1940, was evacuated to Australia during the war and spent her childhood in Western Australia before returning to Britain as a young woman. I did wonder at the time of reading how effective this historical setting technique would be for non- Australian readers.
Because of the recounting of Snow's life the novel takes a long time to get to the disappearance of Agnes, Snow's older sister who has come from England to Sydney to meet her. I'm not sure we really needed all that back story. Snow's life is described through her letters to Jack, and in the light of later revelations, we do have to question her reliability as a narrator.
Although an afterword tells us SISTERS OF MERCY is entirely a work of fiction, I couldn't help wondering how much of the truly horrific things that Snow Delaney does have come from cases the author has come across as a journalist.
At the end of the novel there is a set of questions for reading groups intended to help them get more out of the novel by considering some aspects and incidents in depth. I read SISTERS OF MERCY for my face to face reading group and unfortunately I'll be absent for the discussion. I'd love to be a fly on the wall because there is really plenty to talk about. It is a novel that frustrated, horrified, and captivated me all at the same time.
This is the first book I've read by this Australian author.
"Some people might be wondering what exactly Snow hoped to gain by writing to me, bit I reckon it was pretty obvious: I'm a reporter, and she wanted to convince people that she's innocent of everything she's ever been accused of doing."
Snow Delaney begins a year long correspondence with journalist Jack Fawcett from her prison cell shortly after being convicted on multiple counts of child abuse. Incensed by what she perceives to be sensationalist reporting on her life in his newspaper feature, 'The Secrets of Snow', she offers to tell Jack 'the facts', including the truth of what she knows about her missing sister, Agnes Moore.
Through Snow's letters and Jack's investigation into her claims, Sisters of Mercy reveals a complex web of lies, deceit, betrayal and the absence of mercy.
Initially it's tempting to sympathise with Snow who is imprisoned, alone and resolute in her claims of innocence. Snow is a very disconcerting character, she seems rather ordinary but slowly Overington reveals a deeply disturbed woman whose grasp on reality is warped by a distressing lack of humanity. As a trained nurse who is a foster mother and respite carer for severely disabled children she presents as a tirelessly selfless member of the community. The first hint of her true nature comes when Snow discovers the existence of an older sister, Agnes Moore, abandoned as a toddler in wartime England by her parents who were unmarried at the time.
Interestingly, Overington approaches the disappearance of Agnes from an oblique angle where the missing woman is a catalyst for Snow's story rather than the focus of the plot. It is a little disorientating to expect the novel to develop one way only for it to be twisted into something quite different. It may not appeal to everyone, but the approach is intriguing and revitalises a familiar trope.
What Jack surmises contrasts sharply with Snow's perceptions and emphasises the ambiguity of 'truth' in the absence of incontrovertible evidence. Jack's narrative serves as a witness of sorts to counter Snow's impassioned claims of innocence and champion her alleged victims.
Sisters of Mercy is a provocative novel by an accomplished storyteller. I found it to be discomforting yet engaging and I am happy to recommend it.

No descriptions found.
This is the haunting story of two sisters - one has vanished, the other is behind bars. Snow Delaney was born a generation and a world away from her sister, Agnes. Until recently, neither even knew of the other's existence. They came together only for the reading of their father's will - when Snow discovered, to her horror, that she was not the sole beneficiary of his large estate. Now Snow is in prison and Agnes is missing, disappeared in the eerie red dust that blanketed Sydney from dawn on September 23, 2009. With no other family left, Snow turns to crime journalist Jack Fawcett, protesting her innocence in a series of defiant letters from prison. Has she been unfairly judged? Or will Jack's own research reveal a story even more shocking than the one Snow wants to tell?… (more)

nolans trailer court hit by another tornado...trailers still not tied down???
Posted in the Greenville Forum
1 - 5 of 5 Comments Last updated Apr 6, 2011
#1 Apr 4, 2011
First of all what are the chances of that place being hit twice within 3 years? Wow! BUT here's my question...when is that old pennypinching cheapskate going to tie those trailers down and maybe put in a tornado shelter for his tenants? Now a child was hurt maybe someone will take some action...or he will just pay someone off to leave him alone.
#2 Apr 4, 2011
Any word on who was injured or how bad they were hurt? Praying for all those that live there!!
#3 Apr 6, 2011
I'm not sure all I know is it was a little girl treated for minor injuries, they were lucky. Three people died there three years ago when the tornado hit there. Either way Mr. Nolan needs to do something to make those trailers more secure and put in a shelter. Actually all trailer courts should be required by law to have a shelter.
#4 Apr 6, 2011
you are so right about it should be a law that every single trailer park should have a shelter!! its a scary thing to be in a trailer not having another place to go to, and bad storms hit. in fact scareys not the word for it.all people who live in trailer parks should get out there and make some noise about it! cause a stir- make somebody listen and dont stop until you get results!! i dont live in a trailer, but use to.i say GO TRAILER PARK PEOPLE!! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!
#5 Apr 6, 2011
I agree, I agree with you those who live in trailer courts should get something started, I too used to live in a trailer...one that was hit by a tornado in the Feb. 5, 2008 tornado, we got out just 2 minutes before it hit and lost everything but our lives. How fortunate we were for that. These days I wont live in a house that doesn't have a basement. I wish I had more free time I would start a petition or something to try and get the attention of local lawmakers about the situation. However in the mean time I do believe it is a law that trailers in trailer courts are tied down...and none of Nolans are tied. He got away with it last time, I am anxious to see if he does this time.

Hi Ken,
The species does not occur in the US, although it has become naturalised in New Zealand. It could very well establish in North and South America given the presence of eucalypts (the normal larval host) in both continents. The species also feeds on peppercorn tree Schinus molle which is not native to Australia, but is grown as an ornamental and shade tree here, so there is also scope for it to move onto non-Australian hosts elsewhere. Saturniidae are popular with collectors, and there is a trade in pupae and eggs of these moths, although it would probably be illegal to import emperor gum moth into the US.
There are a number of North American species which superficially resemble the emperor gum moth, so it would be a good idea to check the local field guides. There are a number of published field guides and web resources which cover the family Saturniidae for North America - a search on the web should bring these up.

Lupus erythematosus is a complex autoimmune condition. Two versions of this disorder are seen uncommonly in dogs, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cutaneous (or "discoid") lupus erythematosus (CLE). CLE is sometimes thought to be a milder version of SLE.
In these diseases, a hereditary predisposition of indeterminate modality is responsible for an immunological aberration that allows the body to form protein clusters called immune complexes. When these clusters get trapped in certain tissues of the body they're likely to affect the joints, skin, kidneys, nervous system and the blood itself.
Arthritis and fever are the most common signs associated with lupus erythematosus, but a great many symptoms can be associated with it. This plethora of potential symptoms means that diagnosis can be extremely elusive. Indeed, that's why the disease is often called "the great imitator."
A diagnosis of lupus erythematosus can be offered if the patient 1) is positive on a blood test for a specific kind of antibody (ANA) and 2) has two or more of the following symptoms: skin lesions, oral ulcers, arthritis, inflammation of the covering of the heart or the lining of the chest cavity, kidney problems, neurologic symptoms and specific changes to the blood cells (low platelets, low red blood cells or low lymphocytes).
Skin lesions like red, scaly areas of swelling on the face and loss of pigment from the nose are common with cutaneous (skin) forms of the disease. Lesions on the ears and thickening of the footpads are fairly common as well. Affected dogs will almost always require biopsy to help confirm the presence of SLE/CLE.
Lupus erythematosus runs in lines of dogs, most commonly in the following breeds: Collies, Shetland Sheepdogs and German Shepherds.
Treatment of the milder, slightly more common CLE version of lupus erythematosus generally requires relatively low doses of corticosteroids like prednisone along with simple nutritional supplements like fatty acids.
For SLE, treatment efficacy is highly variable. While some dogs respond very well to the kind of therapy that might be helpful for less-severe CLE cases, other dogs' conditions are completely unresponsive to medical treatment.
Chemotherapeutics and other immunomodulating drugs are often attempted to no avail in some cases. Euthanasia due to uncontrollable symptoms or drug-related side-effects is not uncommon.
The expense of lupus erythematosus diagnosis and treatment can be relatively low if the condition and diagnosis are straightforward. Unfortunately, they rarely are. Because CLE is relatively mild most cases can be diagnosed and managed for under $500 a year. SLE, however, is another matter. The likelihood that drug expenses or their side effects could mean a large yearly outlay is quite high. Indeed, some dogs might require $1,000 to $5,000 or more just to reach a definitive diagnosis.
Though inheritance modalities have not yet been established it's considered advisable to refrain from breeding affected dogs and their first degree relatives (parents and siblings).
