The party's health spokesman promised continuing campaigns 'against trust status and GP fundholding'. But he indicated that Labour had to find a better alternative to the Conservative changes in the National Health Service. Simply going back to the past was not an option. 'There has got to be an alternative that is better,' he said.
He indicated sympathy, not necessarily for the Conservatives' purchaser-provider split between health authorities and hospitals, but for some form of divide. 'There are parts of health provision that are aided by a split between direct management and overall responsibility for health strategy.' But strong antipathy to GP fundholding remains, as Mr Blunkett believes it is destroying coherent planning. 'I believe the Government is going to have to re-invent some form of co-ordinating body for GP fundholders.'
Mr Blunkett said trusts needed a relationship with their local community. He told the conference that NHS trusts 'don't want to be accountable locally and the Government doesn't want them to be. But the trusts now don't want to be accountable to the Secretary of State either. Who the hell do they think they are accountable to?'
Delegates bitterly attacked the pounds 80,000 and pounds 90,000 salaries being earned by NHS executives, when wards were closing, nurses being made redundant and operations cancelled.
And they also listed cases where NHS 'whistle-blowers' had been fired or suspended. Derek Fatchett, MP for Leeds Central, referring to Dr Chris Chapman, the Leeds scientist fired after making allegations about fraud, said: 'In John Major's Britain you can be sacked for telling the truth.'
Rhodri Morgan, MP for Cardiff West, said the Cardiff Royal Infirmary had been told in August that its target was 50 artifical knee operations this year when it had already performed 78. 'In the remaining eight months of the financial year they are expected to do minus 28 operations . . . Whatever happened to money following the patient?'
Mr Blunkett, warning of cuts to come in the current spending round, told the conference that nothing better illustrated the difference between Labour and the Tories than the health service. 'Where there should be care, we have competition,' he said.

Five Golden Rules – Declare Them
After debates and discussion try to implement the rules one by one. No rush. Go slow.
Rule 1: All Videogame/Internet/TV watching in the living room
All multimedia activity –
watching/playing happens in living room. No exception to the rule. None
of the kids can have their own TV/computer/videogames sets in their
room. Move all the multimedia channels to the living room where you can
supervise. Take control.
Rule 2: Zero Tolerance for Violent Content in Media
Zero tolerance policy: Violence in
media – TV, videogames, movies and music videos – is unacceptable.
Rule 3: Turn Off the TV at the first sight of Violence: particularly promos.
At the first sight of violence the only available option is: TURN IT OFF. It does not make any difference how artistic or creative the program is or who has directed or acted. If it is violent, it gets no better treatment than any other violent media program. Period.
Particularly turn off those violent
promotions announcing future programs. These promos tell kids what they
can expect in subsequent programs. Violent promos are more dangerous
than actual programs.
Rule 4: Refuse to pay for violent Videogames and Movies
If your kid/s want to
watch/buy/rent/play violent videogames or movies, just say 'NO, SORRY'.
Don't pay for it and tell them that they cannot use their own money for
buying/ renting/watching violent videogames or movies.
Rule 5: Ask your kid/s to come up with ideas for spending time together
This is very important and the most creative rule of the five. Ask your kid/s to help you to help them. It is important to keep them engaged once you free up their time. Ask them to come up with projects and ideas you all can get involved. Any concept that would keep them away from multimedia is good.Make it a one-week, one-rule policy and implement them in any order you feel comfortable with. Give them time to settle down to each rule. Be firm on its implementation and extend all your help for any other concessions requested

Adrian Peterson avoids Lisfranc injury, unlikely to play in Week 15
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson avoided a Lisfranc injury, which would have sidelined him for the rest of the season.
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson isn't in the clear just yet, but he did receive some good news on Monday. An MRI of Peterson's sprained right foot came back clean, meaning Peterson didn't suffer a Lisfranc injury or damage any ligaments against Baltimore on Sunday. Initial X-rays also showed that Peterson didn't break any bones in the foot.
Despite the good news though, ESPN.com is reporting that it's unlikely Peterson will play on Sunday against Philadelphia. However, it does appear he's avoided serious injury. Peterson had been awaiting the results of a CT scan that he had on Monday. The Vikings will know more about Peterson's condition and how he feels when he gets out of the walking boot and begins running.
"Well, it's a little painful," Peterson said of his foot, via the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "Obviously it kept me out of the game. The MRI came back great so that's good. Just got to get a CT scan to make sure the bone is OK."
Peterson injured his foot in the second quarter of Minnesota's 29-26 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. Before going down with the injury, Peterson tallied 13 yards on seven carries.
"Initially you don't know exactly what's going on when you're feeling it," Peterson said. "That initial contact definitely didn't feel good. I was kind of worried. But kind of cleared up a little bit after getting the MRI. I'll see how things play out after the CT scan.
Peterson wants to play this week against the Eagles, however, coach Leslie Frazier didn't sound as enthusiastic. Even though Peterson avoided a serious injury against Baltimore, Frazier hasn't ruled out sitting his running back for the rest of the year, especially since the Vikings have been eliminated from playoff contention. Frazier said he'll make that decision once he knows the severity of Peterson's injury.
"You can't ignore that fact," Frazier said. "You want to know exactly how severe the injury is, and it helps you make that kind of a decision. So as we learn more about the severity of it, or the lack of severity, then you can make a clear decision about this ballgame and future ballgames in this season."
The Vikings might be eliminated from playoff contention, but they can still play spoiler this year. Minnesota's final three games are against three current division leaders: Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Detroit.

Achtung Florida! Discount retailer moving in from Deutschland
Another discount retailer has its sights set on Florida, though it may be a few years away from becoming a widespread player in the Tampa Bay area.
ALDI Group, a German-based grocery chain, is considering opening as many as 100 stores statewide, starting with about 20 in the Orlando market. The first Bay area store could start construction in the second quarter, likely in Lakeland, and ALDI could expand westward through 2008, according to retail real estate sources familiar with the company's plans.
Privately held ALDI, which stands for Albrecht Discounts, is a slightly different animal from other low-price leaders in terms of food, beverage and apparel sales. For example, its stores average 17,000 square feet and charge a 25-cent deposit for shopping carts along with a nominal cost for bags, though customers are welcome to bring their own.
The chain has expanded within the Southeast lately with 16 locations in Georgia and four in Alabama, according to its Web site, aldi.us.

SALES THAT TRAVEL: Selling homes in one Bradenton community just got an added bonus for Realtors: One that could be worth $200,000.
Taylor Woodrow is offering the chance for real estate practitioners who sell three homes at Palma Sola Trace to win a coach motor home valued at $200,000.
It's the latest incentive to sell in communities that have suffered through the housing market slowdown. Palma Sola Trace has 546 homes to sell in its community located in northwestern Manatee County.
The coach home has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and will be awarded next year.
-- Michael Hinman
NOT A LIQUOR REFERENCE: The tag line: "A free shot of adrenaline with every visit" wasn't designed to elicit subconscious desires for binge drinking in Ybor City on a Friday night. Instead, it's designed to promote the diverse options Tampa Bay offers to tourism consumers.
The tag line ran in all the collateral at the Outback Bowl and is part of an existing campaign created by the Tampa Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau working with FKQ Advertising & Marketing in Clearwater, which officially took over the CVB account last October.
Out-of-state teams in the Outback Bowl created an opportunity to emphasize a "come play" message, said Lori Tolchinsky, senior account executive at FKQ. "We had all of these new visitors here, and it was a great time to show all the destination has to offer."

MID-ATLANTIC ALLURE: From his new office in Raleigh, pubic relations mogul Jack Glasure can almost see the people leaving Florida and relocating in North Carolina.
Glasure, who sold his St. Petersburg firm Glasure Group to its former parent firm, French/ West/Vaughn in Raleigh in December, is shuttling between offices in the two cities, but just might join those relocating.
"With the hurricanes and insurance problems in Florida, people aren't just moving off the waterfront -- they want to move to a moderate climate where they feel safe," he said. "Things are booming in the Mid-Atlantic states."

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
In a stinging decision against Oregon State University, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled Tuesday that university officials violated the constitutionally protected freedoms of an independent student newspaper when they confiscated its bins and tossed them onto a trash heap.
The court said it had "little trouble finding constitutional violations" and that the university's unwritten policy that led to trashing the newspaper's bins "materialized like a bolt out of the blue."
"Universities should encourage, not shut down, the free exchange of ideas," says Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) Legal Counsel Heather Gebelin Hacker. "Students don't deserve censorship for having viewpoints that university officials don't happen to favor. The argument that the independent student paper's bins were confiscated to 'clean up' the campus under an unwritten policy was simply not believable. No notice was given, and none of the bins belonging to the primary campus student newspaper were taken. The 9th Circuit made the right decision in ruling against the university."
Here's the backstory: ADF attorneys filed the lawsuit in 2009 on behalf of the OSU Students Alliance, a recognized student organization that publishes The Liberty. Officials confiscated the independent student paper's bins--which contained copies of the paper--without notice and threw them next to a dumpster. The university claimed it did so as part of an effort to beautify the campus, but it left untouched the numerous distribution bins of the other student newspaper, The Daily Barometer.
OSU Students Alliance has published The Liberty since 2002 and has distributed the paper in bins on campus since receiving permission from the university to do so in 2005.
The 9th Circuit's decision in Oregon State University Students Alliance v. Ray reversed a district court's earlier decision that had dismissed the student group's claims against the university, which argued it removed the bins under an unwritten campus policy.
"The policy that OSU enforced against plaintiffs, however, was not merely unwritten," the 9th Circuit opinion explains. "It was also unannounced and had no history of enforcement. It materialized like a bolt out of the blue to smite the Liberty's, but not the Daily Barometer's, newsbins onto the trash heap."

[Synoptic-L] Fallacies & Proof
Expand Messages
- To: Brian E. Wilson,
<< Even if he did argue in this way, would not Taylor have committed the
same fallacy in doing so? The argument for a literary relationship between
the synoptic gospels is from the very strong agreements of wording and
order between them. But it would be a fallacy to argue from these observed
similarities that therefore the three synoptists did not independently use
the same documentary source. >>
I don't like the use of the term "fallacy" in this context. I am more than
willing to admit the theoretical possibility that other hypotheses are
possible. But you seem to be almost arguing that anyone who reaches a
conclusion contrary to that which you have reached has committed a
"fallacy." That hardly seems fair. It is not like Vincent Taylor was
totally unaware of ur-Gospel hypotheses, in fact, they seem to me to have
been more popular back when he was writing than they are today. What you
have is not a "fallacy," but rather a difference of opinion. Why can't you
recognize it as such and leave it at that?
None of the hypotheses put forth as solutions to the Synoptic Problem can
be absolutely proven to be the one correct description of what happened.
Yet your position appears to be that anyone who reaches a conclusion
different from your own has committed a "fallacy," since your hypothesis is
in your opinion consistent with all the synoptic data. Of course, every
advocate believes that their hypothesis is fully consistent with all the
synoptic data -- indeed that their hypothesis best explains the synoptic
data. In my opinion, that does not constitute a "fallacy," rather it merely
constitutes a difference of opinion.

|807 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
NEW for 2016, apartment is now fully airconditioned. We give you free: WiFi, UK tv, Final clean, meet and greet at convenient spot near property on arrival. Who wants to arrive, possibly in the dark, then struggle to find the location! The terrace/balcony gives fantastic views over the town and the Bay of Mazarron. The balcony is furnished with table and chairs, and is perfect for al fresco dining. With 1 double and 1 triple bedroom the apartment is ideal for families and the complex is also disability friendly with ramps, and a lift to all floors. The apartment has free wifi. Late evenings spent with a glass of wine and a snack on the balcony as the lights of Puerto de Mazarron slowly come on beneath the balcony (as we have done often!) are what holidays are all about. The apartment and complex is child friendly. The area still has a very Spanish feel, unlike some larger resorts and is in easy reach of several golf courses, including the La Manga club. Cartagena is nearby for history lovers, and local markets abound in Puerto and most surrounding towns. The local beaches (7!) are all superb and mostly blue flag. NEW for Summer 2016, air conditioning throughout apartment.
Hello, I am Paul Bradbury and I have been living here in this lovely little corner of Spain with my wife Marie since May 2008 when I was 54. We moved here from Cannock in the Midlands for a more relaxed lifestyle, and so far it has turned out as just that!
Paul Bradbury purchased this apartment in 2004
Very few apartments in Puerto de Mazarron have a sea view like ours, and almost none are situated in an area which is both tranquil and a short walk from all the facilities in the town. AND the wifi works in the garden!
NEW for summer 2016, full air conditioning throughout apartment.
FREE WiFi, UK TV.
We stayed for 10 days from 17-27 in March and enjoyed every minute of our time in the apartment. Some of the highlights, to name but a few, included:
the comfy beds, the well equipped kitchen, the cosy living room with 2 good sofas, excellent Brit TV reception and a great internet service through out the apartment and by the pool.
All of this was trumped by the fantastic sea views from the south facing balcony.
Some mornings and evenings were cool and the gas fire in the living room kept us warm when needed.
We would highly recommend this apartment and the area in general for those of you that are looking for a restful break away from the daily grind.
This apartment was comfortable and well provisioned. There were books dvd's and cds for our use which is always a bonus.
We used the sunny balcony with great views over the bay to eat our meals and sit out on the evening. Puerto de Mazarron is a great location and everything is within easy walking distance of the apartment, we even joined a gym, plus there are good places to visit nearby.
The apartment is of good quality and fairly spacious and the balcony faces the sun all day. Supermarkets are nearby. It has a homely feel about it and we would be happy to return again
We stayed for a week with our two children and it was fantastic. The property was perfect for us with the bonus of great views. The wifi was a bonus. We were the only ones ever in the pool. Paul and Marie met us on arrival to make sure everything was ok and again on check out. Would thoroughly recommend.
A lovely clean and spacious apartment with fantastic views front and back. The pool was quiet and very inviting. Numerous supermarkets within walking distance and the port was only 10/15 minutes walk. The Sunday market was at the bottom of the hill and a must to visit.
Viggos (in the port) is an excellent restaurant which we visited often and never disappointed us.
Communication with Paul was very good and he supplied an excellent taxi service for airport transfers.
We will definitely be going back next year.
Lovely spacious apartment in a fantastic location with great views front and back. The shared pool was quiet and refreshing and very welcoming. Numerous supermarkets in walking distance and the port a 10/15 minute walk. The local market is held on a Sunday and is just at the bottom of the hill - well worth a visit.
Communication with Paul was very good and he provides a great taxi service with airport transfers.
Viggos is our favourite restaurant and has never disappointed us with their wide variety of meals.
We would definitely recommend this apartment and we are even booking to come again next summer.
The nearest and most popular beach is 5 to 10 mins walk away and fronts onto "the Paseo" Puerto de Mazarrons promenade. It, like many of the others here is classified as blue flag and is spotlessly cleaned every morning. At least 9 other beaches within a short drive some of which are half-empty even at the height of the summer season.
Puerto de Mazarron is in easy reach of 3 airports, Murcia (San Javier) 40 mins, Alicante (El Altet) 60mins and Almeria 70 mins. All 3 are served by the usual budget airlines, Monarch, Easyjet, Ryanair, Jet2 and Flybe depending on your departure airport. Car hire in Spain is cheaper than the UK. We can also offer airport transfers at competitive prices.The road system from all 3 airports is quick and relatively uncrowded. It is possible to drive down from Santander in a day.
Mazarron main town 5kms
Cartagena, lovely old city/seaport with great shopping 30kms
Murcia City, regional capital with zoo and water park 40kms
La Manga, "the strip" and the Mar Menor inland sea. 40kms
Vera, with aqua park 50 kms
Further Details:
Puerto de Mazarron is a lovely town with an authentic Spanish feel. Plenty of supermarkets and shops to choose from including an English Supermarket if you have a favourite tea/coffee/variety! Local, good value markets in Puerto and most surrounding towns. All towns, large or small, have regular Fiestas, mainly in Spring or Autumn.
Good quality Spanish and English bars and restaurants abound, especially for seafood lovers. Chinese food is excellent and very cheap. Three good Indian restaurants for curry aficionados, all a short walk away.
Puerto has had a lot of new investment in the last 3 years and now boasts one of the smartest Marinas in the South of Spain, surrounded by shops and nice bar/restaurants. The "Paseo" which is what we would call the promenade has this year been completely renovated and is now absolutely beautiful. No one rushes you out of the restaurants here and tarrying over a meal or drink at the Marina and watching the Spanish families promenading up and down is one of our favourite activities! For the younger (or young at heart) the new marina area has several "club" type bars which stay open till the small hours offering a variety of music and dancing. This part of the port has a definite yottie/clubby feel to it now, unlike the older paseo which still retains its more traditional Spanish ambiance, meaning there is something for all ages to enjoy.
Watersports, fishing and tennis all available locally. Bike and mountain bike hire available locally. Go kart circuit and tenpin bowling alley within 10 minutes walk of the apartment though well out of earshot.

Conserved quantities in discrete dynamics: what can be recovered from Noether's theorem, how, and why?

The connections between symmetries and conserved quantities of a dynamical system brought to light by Noether's theorem depend in an essential way on the symplectic nature of the underlying kinematics. In the discrete dynamics realm, a rather suggestive analogy for this structure is offered by second-order cellular automata. We ask to what extent the latter systems may enjoy properties analogous to those conferred, for continuous systems, by Noether's theorem. For definiteness, as a second-order cellular automaton we use the Ising spin model with both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic bonds. We show that—and why—energy not only acts as a generator of the dynamics for this family of systems, but is also conserved when the dynamics is time-invariant. We then begin to explore the issue of whether, in these systems, it may hold as well that translation invariance entails momentum conservation.

- be 18 years old or older
- invest at least the minimum authorized amount
- have a licensed and bonded local agent to represent you with your application. We at CREI can provide this service to you.
- Be able to meet the requirements of the application
Only one application is required for the main applicant and their and their dependants (the entire family). No limits exist for the number of dependants that can be included on the application.
Dependants may be:
- The main applicant's spouse
- A child of the main applicant or spouse (either biological or adopted legally):
- the child is under 18 years of age;
- is at least 18 years of age and less than 26 years of age and who attends full time a recognized higher learning institute and is fully dependant on the main applicant;

Citizenship By Investment In Grenada
Investing in Grenada as a country is the way to qualify for citizenship. Investment into the Government National Transformation fund and acquiring real estate in an approved development are the two opportunities on offer. It is required that you will have been a resident of the country for at least one year if you prefer to make an investment into the National Transformation Fund to gain citizenship.
With the real estate acquisition option, you are required by the government to make a real estate acquisition in officially authorized developments and they must have a minimum value of US$ 250,000. There will be additional fees to be paid with this option. You cannot divest any real estate shareholding until four (4) years after the initial purchase date.
Government Fees
The real estate developers will pay all Government fees for the Main Applicant. Other members of the family will be subject to Government fees as follows:
|Family Member Financially Dependent on the Main Applicant
|Application Fees (US$)
|Processing Fees (US$)
|Due Diligence Fees (US$)
|Dependent Parent below 65 years
|Dependent Parent over 65 years
|Dependent Child 0-11 years
|Dependent Child 12-17 years
|Dependent Child 18-25 years
Escrow Procedure
It is required by the Government of Grenada that the complete amount of the investment be sent to a Grenada escrow account prior to the submission of an application. Before the final submission of the application to the Government, the due diligence checks will be made which means that final application rejection is not likely. That said, any application for citizenship may be rejected by the Government at any point in the process and a reason may not be given. In the unlikely event of this happening a full refund of the escrow amount will be given.
To ensure the security of the investor, the escrow account will be totally separated from the Government, local agents and real estate developers. A major Canadian bank, Scotiabank, will hold the escrow account. This bank has been operating in Grenada since 1963. The applicant will appoint an escrow agent and the investment amount will be held in the client account.
Citizenship Timeline
The locally licensed agent such as CREI will be notified within sixty (60) days about the citizenship application decision by the Citizenship by Investment Committee. This is law.
CREI will compile all of the application forms and other necessary documentation and once funds have been wired and the investment amount is in escrow, it will take up to sixty (60) days from the application submission for you to be granted your citizenship of Grenada assuming that the due diligence checks do not reveal anything negative.
Grenada Passport Application
You should receive your passport no later than two (2) weeks after you have been approved for citizenship. This should only be used as a guideline as changes in Government policies and differences in each application need to be taken into account.
NB: CREI shall not be responsible for any information in this document as official legislation and government policy is subject to change without prior notice.

On Board Air India One, Jul 7 (UNI) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today ruled out India taking responsibility of international target reductions for emission of greenhouse gases, ahead of his wide-ranging talks with world leaders at the G-8 Summit in Tokayo in Japan on climate change which tops the agenda of the meet.
Replying to a question, he said India cannot by any stretch of imagination be regarded as major pollutor of greenhouse gases."Our contribution to emissions is less than 4 per cent. On per capita basis it is among the lowest -- an average of about 1.2 tonnes." The Prime Minister said, "For us the topmost priority is development, to solve the problem of chronic poverty.....(therefore) the rest of the world community (must) promote the cause of sustainable development, and India accepts its responsibiilty as outlined in our national action plan. But I do not think we are in a position to take responsibility by way of international target reductions and that is the broad thrust of our approach.'' India, in any case, is not bound by target reductions till 2012 as per Kyoto protocol on global warming.
India, in its action plan unveiled on June 30, does not set target reduction of greenhouse gas emissions but seeks to promote sustainable development through use of clean technologies.
It,however, undertakes that India's per capita greenhouse gas emissions will "at no point exceed that of developed countries." The plan will be implemented thorough eight missions which represent multi-pronged, long-term and integrated strategies for achieving key goals in the context of climate change.
As per commitment in the action plan, Dr Singh said, "India will engage actively in multilateral negotiations in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) in a positive, constructive and forward-looking manner.'' ''Our objective will be to establish an effective, cooperative and equitable global approach based on the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and relative capabilities enshrined in the UNFCC," the plan document said.
It states that the success of its efforts would be enhanced if the developed nations fulfill their commitments under UNFCC to transfer additional financial resources and climate friendly technologies to the developing countries.
The eight missions focus on increasing share of solar energy in the total energy mix; implementation of energy efficiency measures; launching sustainable habitats; effective water resource management; safeguarding Himalyan glacier and mountain eco-system, enhance eco-system services; making agriculture more resilient to climate change and set up a Strategic Knowledge Mission for focussed research in the area.

About Us
Kel Snake is a Native American woodworking artist from Georgina Island, Ontario, Canada. His passion for the unique is vividly seen in his creations. As a child Kelly was blessed with an upbringing that saw him spend much time playing in the woods and meadows. He often used his wild imagination to make his own toys from things that he found and recalls developing a fascination with personal security. At 16, his father introduced him to the craft of woodworking. Immediately Kelly was struck with the process of turning an unassuming raw pile of lumber into something beautiful and purposeful. It was like magic.
Soon, he began designing pieces featuring secret compartments and working mechanical wooden locking systems. Over the years Kelly became displeased by the vast amounts of waste that occurs within our society and the dangerous consequences it has had on our environment. In 1992 he seized a window of opportunity to apprentice for a local wood recycling company as a product designer. Kelly believes that this is where he honed an ability to "listen to the wood". Soon, he was being inspired to produce beautiful and innovative designs from recycled materials. This became his preferred way to conceive and construct products. To Kelly, building heirloom quality designs from recycled materials meant reducing the amount of waste going to local landfill sites for another 100 years, …or possibly more.

A Fleisch #3 pneumotach. From Office Spirometry. A practical guide to the selection and use of spirometers. By PL Enright and RE Hyatt. Published by Lea and Febiger, 1987. Page 79.
From "New methods of studying gaseous exchange and pulmonary function" by Alfred Fleisch, published by Charles C. Thomas, 1960, page 81
"Figure 22 shows a schematic representation of the air circuit. The motor M operates the rotary blower 31 which drives the air into the chamber 42 where the CO2 is absorbed. After it has been freed of CO2 the air passes through the tube 33, the distributor 20 and the pipe 17. It reaches the mask 13 through the corrugated tube 14 and leaves it through the corrugated tube 15 and the pipe 30, returning to the blower 31. When the subject is not breathing, the air current does not flow through the double-partition spirometer 9-12 which is by passed. The bell 9 of the double spirometer is divided into two parts by the partition 10 and thus forms two chambers I and E for inspiration and expiration respectively. At inspiration the bell 9 is lowered and some of the air from chamber I passes through tubes 12 and 14 to the lungs; blower 31 draws an equal volume from the chamber E through tubes 11 and 30. At expiration the air from the lungs fills the chamber E through the pipes 15 and 11, and the chamber I is filled with air coming from pipe 17 though the pipe 12; the bell 9 therefore rises.
"The partition 10 has a small opening in order that some air can always pass from the chamber I to the chamber E so that the latter can be free from CO2.
"The consumption of oxygen by the subject causes the bell 9 of the spirometer to fall slowly. As soon as the bell no longer closes the contact 7 at expiration, a greater quantity of oxygen is pumped into the system from a container through the junction 97 until the contact 7 is once again established. By means of this automatic regulation the bell 9 tends to remain always at a mean position and the percentage of oxygen tends to remain constant. The quantity of oxygen which enters the system through the junction 97 is discussed in section G.
"After the mask has been fitted to the face of the subject, it often happens that the spirometer bell 9 is not a suitable height to operate the contact 7. By pressing the button of the valve 16, atmospheric is admitted into the circuit so that the bell 9 rises. Conversely, pressure on the button of valve 16a expels so air and the bell falls. When the bell 9 is at the right height to operate contact 7 the total volume of the circuit is 42 liters."
From "New methods of studying gaseous exchange and pulmonary function" by Alfred Fleisch, published by Charles C. Thomas, 1960, page 51.
"The great interest currently enjoyed by pneumotachography has induced us to improved our old instrument which separated the air flow into a number of parallel tubes 130 mm long and 1.8 mm interior diameter. The length of the air passages is now reduced to 32 mm, thus greatly decreasing the dead space. To improve the proportionality the inner diameter of the air passages is reduced to 0.8 mm.
"The system of air passages is obtained by rolling together a thin corrugated nickel strip and a flat strip (Fig. 13). The outer corrugated layer 2 is used for the pressure tappings. The brass tube 3 has two rows of small holes 4 and 4a distributed over its whole circumference and communicating with the annular ducts 5 and 5a. The pressure is the transmitted through the tubes 6 and 6a to the differential manometer 8. If the air flow passes through the pneumotachograph from right to left the pressure will be greater in 5 than in 5a; the membrane 9 will therefore move to the left and the ray of light will be deflect upwards by the mirror 10. If on the other hand the current passes fro left to right, the pressure will be greater in 5a than in 5, the membrane will move to the right and the ray of light will be deflected downwards. We would like to stress the fact that the membrane will only respond to differences in pressure, not to the absolute pressure.
"When the speed of the air flow does no exceed a certain value the air particles move in the pneumotachograph under laminar conditions, thus ensuring strict proportionality between speed and the deflection of the ray of light. One this limit has been passed a state of turbulence ensues, easily recognized by the slight oscillation of the light spot.
"The metallic membrane manometer connected to the pneumotachograph has a natural frequency of about 20 cycles per second; since the physiological oscillations of the air flow are slower, a rapid reaction and a reliable recording are assured."
From "New methods of studying gaseous exchange and pulmonary function" by Alfred Fleisch, published by Charles C. Thomas, 1960, page 5.
"Fig. 1 gives a schematic representation of the instrument. From the mouth piece 1 the expired air is directed through the corrugated tube into the lower part 3 of the soda lime container 4 through the valve 2. This air then passes through the stainless steel lattice 5 and the soda lime 6 and reached the bellows 8, thus displacing the movable plate 9 towards the left. At inspiration the air leaves through the central tube 7 and the valve 10, and returns to the mouth piece 1. The rectilinear and parallel movement of the movable plate 9 of the bellows with minimum frictional losses is assured by means of a double system of articulated levers 11 symmetrically connected to the toothed segments 12.
"The direct reading of the metabolism is taken by means of the temperature and barometer scales 15 and 14 and the pointers 16 and 17 on the dial 18. At the beginning of the experiment the pointer 16 is placed at the temperature corresponding to the temperature inside the bellows. The vernier 15 is then moved vertically until the pointer 16 cuts the scale 14 at the point corresponding to the atmospheric pressure read on the barometer 19.
"When the respiration has become regular, the dial 18 is moved to the right or left until the tip of the main pointer 17 falls at the end of an exhalation onto the zero line of dial 18. The chronometer is started at the same time. The position of the pointer 17 on the dial 18 is noted, always at the end of an expiration, after 4 and 8 minutes. The dial 18 reduced the experimental conditions of temperature and pressure to standard values (STPD). We have used the figure of 4.825 calories per liter of oxygen STPD for the calibration of the dial 18. This is equivalent most commonly used in the United States.
"The reading after 4 minutes permits a check of the regularity of respiration and the consumption of oxygen; the reading taken at 4 minutes multiplied by 2, must differ by less than 10% from the reading taken after 8 minutes. If the difference is 10% or more, it indicates a respiratory irregularity, a change in the respiratory position or an irregular consumption of oxygen, or even a leak in the mouth piece or the nose of the subject; in these cases the experiment must be repeated."

Industry Highlight: China's Alibaba to Expand U.S. Reach With New Investment Group
China's Alibaba Group is poised to invest more in U.S. tech companies with the start of a new investment group that the e-commerce giant is setting up in San Francisco.
Alibaba is looking to back "innovative platforms, products, and ideas" that focus on e-commerce and new technologies with the investment group, the company said in an email Wednesday.
The company recently invested in three U.S. tech companies, the latest being ShopRunner, an online retailer that competes against Amazon.com. Alibaba led a recent investment round for ShopRunner that raised US$200 million.

ssh, the secure shell
Reviewed by Bil Hays 5/2/14
The ssh client program is a secure shell replacement for the telnet and rlogin and rsh programs. You should never use telnet or rlogin to login to UNIX machines, because these programs are insecure. Both telnet and rlogin send your user name and password in the clear text over the network, and this information can be "sniffed" by someone. Below is information about ssh on UNIX, Windows, and Macs.
ssh on Linux
The ssh program we use is the Open SSH software:
To use ssh on a UNIX system, type "ssh hostname". You will be prompted for your password, which ssh encrypts before sending it over the network. The first time you login to a UNIX system, you will also be prompted to "register" the remote machine's "public key"; which in UNIX is stored in your home directory in the $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts. Answer "Yes" so you will not be prompted to register on subsequent logins.
The ssh program is available on all department UNIX machines under /usr/local/bin/ssh. There are many features and utility programs that are in the ssh suite. For further information, see the online manual at the Open SSH web site.
There is a secure replacement for the UNIX ftp client called "sftp". You can use this to connect to Computer Science UNIX systems. Like telnet, the standard ftp clients send your password over the internet in clear text. Both ftp and sftp have a command line interface once you connect. The sftp commands are a bit different from the standard ftp commands; enter "?" when using the sftp client for help on the commands. See our article on SFTP for more information.
ssh on Windows
If you are logging into a UNIX machine from a Windows platform, you should use the SecureCRT terminal program to start up an ssh window. (While SecureCRT also supports telnet, you should only use ssh; otherwise you may be giving a hacker your password.) SecureCRT is installed by default on all department Windows systems.
To connect to a UNIX machine, start up SecureCRT, click the "File" menu, and select "Quick Connect". You will be presented with the following (under version 6.5):
Enter the hostname of the system you want to log into, e.g., login.cs.unc.edu; enter your UNIX login name, and click "Connect".
The campus has a site license for SecureCRT that allows UNC employees and students to run SecureCRT on their personal systems. See the campus shareware web page for more info on SecureCRT:
Please send email to email@example.com if you have any questions on how to use these programs.

This episode of The American Experience investigates an event that has become American folklore. By carefully considering the evidence available from both white and Native American accounts, the video reaches conclusions that are more complex than those commonly held. Custer emerges not as a fool, or a hero, but a competent commander who simply got more than he could handle. The loss of Custer's command was a national embarrassment and led to obfuscation that over time became accepted as fact. Anyone with an interest in the history of the American West, especially relations with Native peoples, will find this of value. Its sober tone and careful research certainly make it appropriate for use in the college classroom. Last Stand at Little Big Horn also won an Emmy award. ~ Rob Ferrier, Rovi

Send us your small craft queries, powerboat puzzles and boating brain teasers. Our panel of Instructors will endeavour to answer your questions. Your problems and our solutions appear below.
Course to Steer with a TSS
"I'm planning my course to steer for a channel crossing but it crosses a Traffic Separation Scheme, how do I allow and plan for this?" Toby, Hamble
You can plan a single course to steer for the entire time you are not actually crossing the TSS. If you follow these step by step instructions, you should make it!
- Draw a line for your ideal ground track from your Departure point to Destination… and beyond.
- Estimate the time required for the entire journey at an assumed average boat speed.
- Draw tidal vectors for each hour of the journey from the Departure point.
- The clever bit now…Draw a vector for the distance across the TSS at right angles to the TSS from the end of your tidal vectors.
- Estimate the time required to cross the TSS and subtract it from the overall journey time.
- Estimate the distance you will travel in this new journey time at your chosen boat speed.
- Use this distance as the vector for your Water track starting from the end of the combined Tide/TSS vectors to where it crosses the ideal ground track.
- This is the Course to Steer at all times except when you are crossing the TSS.
Don't forget that combining this Course to Steer with intelligent use of your GPS/Chart plotter will allow you to make the quickest crossing!
- RICHARD BENISTON, Yachtmaster Examiner
Sailing in Fog
"What should I do if I get caught in fog when I'm out in my sail yacht?" Piers, Eastbourne
If you are caught out in fog, there are a number of things you should and could do. These include ensuring you are keeping a lookout by all available means (including visual, hearing, radar, VHF, AIS etc), as well as making the appropriate sound
signals. Carefully and expeditiously navigating to an area known to have less traffic will lessen the risk of collisions. A popular move is to head for an area of shallower water (obviously deep enough that you remain safe) to guarantee there will be no larger vessels around. Crew should be alerted to the possibility of an unexpected and sudden collision. They should be on deck and wearing a lifejacket, with safety equipment and a liferaft, if carried, readied for rapid deployment. Speed should be reduced to a minimum required to stay manoeuvrable.
As this is a hypothetical situation (on paper!), remember that prevention is always better than cure. Fog is not an ideal situation to be caught out in at sea and should be avoided; better to delay departure than take the risk. Common sense and seamanship should prevail if you find yourself at sea in fog, but it must be stressed that prevention is better than cure, so a safe harbour (perhaps with a good pub!) is a much more favourable location.
- LUKE ASPDEN, Senior Instructor
Boating Apps
"I've seen many apps that will give me all the tide and weather information instead of having to search for it myself but I've been told I shouldn't use them, why is this?" Martin, North Hampshire
Hi Martin, that's a good question. Many people are very skeptical of new technology, often rightly so, but in this case it looks like the important message isn't completely clear. As with all things, it comes down to the validity of the information you are getting and whether or not it is from a verifiable source. In the case of weather information, most boaters will take one or more sources of forecast and combine them with their own local knowledge and MK 1 eyeball skills. If the forecast is published by the Met Office on behalf of the MCA, then this is a good sign that it's been considered from the perspective of a boater. If the forecast is on an App made by a developer in a different country for a global market, using an autonomous computer model (see Doug's blog post on this subject) then the information is likely to be a bit broad brush.
One of the advantages of Apps is that you can download more than one - for example the Aycaramba app aggregates the Shipping Forecast (as published by the Met Office, so you know where it's from!) and displays it with no frills for later reading. Combine this with the Windguru App, which attempts to give a more granular breakdown, look out of the hatch, maybe grab a surface pressure chart from the marina office or Met Office website (accessed via a bookmark on your phone's home screen for speed) and you will start to get a fairly robust feel for what's happening. The BBC Weather App can give useful information for an afternoon of dinghy sailing at the local reservoir, but is sadly a bit lacking in the Ocean weather trends department. PredictWind can be combined with a paid for subscription, and is considered among the best by many racers. Different Apps, different users.
So, the answer is that Apps, as with all things, should be used with an understanding of who their target market is, and where their information comes from. They can be a valuable and user friendly resource, should always be combined with 'official' forecasts where relevant and that all-important visual interpretation. Don't avoid them out of fear, rather, use them in conjunction with other sources and understand the sources and relevance of what they're showing you.

"On our boat the engine battery switch has 3 positions - 1, 2 and both. We have been using "both" all of the time and are unsure when we should use "1" or "2". Does "2" mean 2 batteries or is it battery number 2?" Jo, Sheffield
Hi Jo, there are actually four positions, the fourth one being "off." You have not said if you are on a sailing or a motor boat but the principles are similar. Let me start by explaining the system. You have two batteries; number 1 and number 2. One should be considered your engine start battery and one should be considered you domestic (used for lights, stereo, 12V charger, nav instruments, fridge etc.). Certain batteries are more suited to engine starting (a cranking battery) and some are more suited to domestic use (often known as deep cycle or leisure batteries). On some boats there are actually two leisure/domestic batteries and they are connected together so to all intents and purposes can be considered as 1 battery. Once you have established whether "1" is connected to the engine start or domestic battery label it "engine" or "domestic as appropriate. Do the opposite with "2" so that we then think of the 4 options on the switch as:
- Off
- Engine start battery
- Domestic battery
- Both Batteries
Before you start the engines select, "Engine". This means the engine battery is doing the hard work of starting the engine. Once the engine is running select "Both". This will ensure the engine alternator is charging both batteries all of the time it is running. If later in the day you turn off the engine(s) (as your sailing or anchored etc) you should now select "Domestic." This ensures that you cannot drain your engine battery while you have no means of charging. If the domestic battery is drained while you are at anchor then the engine battery is full and available for engine starting. When you later select "engine" to start the engines, you can then re select "Both" so that both batteries are again being charged from the engine alternator while the engine(s) are running.
Forgetting to select "Domestic" when not charging can lead to you draining both batteries and being unable to start the engine(s) later. When the boat is not being used you should turn the batteries "off" unless you specifically need power for something such as an automatic bilge pump, in which case you would select "domestic."

"I want to mark my anchor chain on my Dufour 37. Ive been told to use day glow paint, I've also been told not to use paint as it will damage the galvanised metal of the chain, is there a particular sort of paint I should use?" Paul, Reading
Paul, marking your chain is a good idea, depending on your cruising ground will depend how frequently you mark it (every 3m, 5m or 10m etc.). There are a number of marking systems people use. Some colour code, some mark with more stripes, I've heard of one skipper who used the snooker ball system, (so 5m was red stripe, 10m was yellow stripe, 15 mm was green stripe and so on). Personally I think a decent stripe (about 30-40cm worth of chain) every 5m is plenty. If they are all the same colour there is no need to remember a complicated system, you simply count the stripes out as you pay the anchor out (5, 10, 15 and so on…). In terms of what to you use I advocate a hammerite (or similar) day-glow paint or perhaps aerosol. You can however use an anti foul that is designed for your propellor/P bracket. The advantage of hammerite is you can buy it in bright visible colours. Depending on how often you anchor, you may need to top this up every winter or two as your windlass (and a sandy or rocky seabed) will wear the paint away.
Don't worry paint will not de-galvanise your chain, in fact completely the opposite. If you ever take the chain to be re-galvanised you will find the galvaniser will charge you considerably more to remove the paint first. If your chain is starting to look a bit rusty it would be worth getting it re-galvanised before marking it. There are of course other options. Some people use cable ties, however they can get "eaten" by the windlass and sometimes you won't spot they are missing This is of course a simple and cheap system. You can also buy dedicated chain markers. These are small plastic inserts that clip into your chain, they are available in various colours from many chandleries. I've heard of people marking their chain with short bits of rope or even leather. Personally I like something bright that can be seen easily by day or night and I am sure won't come off. Day-glow Hammerite therefore works for me.

"How do you remember whether to add or subtract your magnetic variation?" Tom, Bristol
When you take a true bearing from the chart you walk up the companionway to steer it. As you go up, add your westerly variation. Alternatively if you want to plot a magnetic bearing onto the chart, as you go down the companionway subtract your westerly variation. This works in the UK or every where you have a westerly magnetic variation.
- ADAM O'NEILL, Yachtmaster Instructor
"Every year I end up rubbing down and re varnishing my washboards. Is it normal for the varnish to peel of so quickly and for water stains to start appearing?" Andrew, Reading
It sounds like you may need more coats of varnish or better materials. There are several techniques for a good waterproof, UV-proof long lasting finish. Like most jobs preparation is key. Option 1 is to go for a good quality marine varnish. Rub the boards down to bare wood, clean with acetone to remove any oils from the surface of the teak and paint 6 coats of varnish on. Give each coat at least 12 hours to go off and a light wet and dry between each coat.
Option 2 is to rub down to bare wood, clean with acetone again and paint with a good quality epoxy system. You will need 3 or 4 coats of epoxy and this can be done in a day. Then 3 coats of varnish to protect from UV. After that you should only need to lightly sand the varnish every couple of years and apply a new top coat. Both options really need to be in a heated workshop or garage.
The third option is to again rub down and clean with acetone before applying a generous coat of universal primer. Follow it up with 5 coats of varnish, again in a warm garage with 12 hours and a quick wet and dry between coats.

"Dear Team Stormforce. I have a problem with my roller furling genoa. I struggle to furl the sail after sailing. I've checked the furling gear with no sail up and its fine. How can I solve this?" Alison, Chichester
Well, without knowing a bit more its hard to say but we we think it could be one of several problems.
- The halyard may be to tight, thus stopping the sail furling round the head of the foil. This is because of the extra pressure put on the furling drum and swivel.
- The halyard may be too loose so that it doesn't stop the top swivel from turning.
- The angle between the halyard exit and the top swivel may be too close to parallel. You could try fitting a halyard deflector.
- ADAM SMITH, Yachtmaster Instructor
"I recently bough a new fuel can for my RIB, it's a red plastic 20l can and has the name of a well known company on the top. Shortly after fitting the new can my engine stopped working. After realising it was suffering from fuel starvation I opened up the fuel filter to find several lumps of small plastic the same shade of red as the can. A friend has suggested that the can is really for diesel and the petrol has broken down the plastic. Is this possible or is the can just faulty?" Tony, Isle of Wight
A far more likely cause is that the manufacturers of the can left some swarf in it during the moulding/machining process. It is these small bits of red plastic that have made it down the fuel hose to the filter and quickly blocked it. When you buy a new can you need to clean it out first. I use a small amount of petrol to do this. This clears swarf, dust and any other debris that should not be there. I very much doubt the can is breaking down due to the petrol.
- DOUG INNES, Powerboat Trainer
"I recently passed my CEVNI Test with you. Can you tell me if the CEVNI regulations apply on the UK inland waterways?" James, Surrey
As you are probably aware from your studying you do not need any form of ICC to operate a pleasure craft in the UK. The actual CEVNI regulations themselves do not apply in the UK (although a few individual rules are present). CEVNI regulations are used throughout the interconnected inland waterways on the continent. It is worth bearing in mind that some of mainland Europe's inland waterways are massive canals transited by supertankers and huge freight ships, compared to our much smaller canals that are mostly populated with slow leisure barges. The need for a set of navigation regulations for the continental waterways is far greater than here.
- DOUG INNES,Yachtmaster Examiner
"If I am hove-to on Starboard tack what are my rights and responsibilities?" Peter, Surrey
As a sailing boat you are still underway, normal sailing and steering rules therefore apply between yourself and another sailing boat or a power vessel. If another yacht was on port tack then you would stand on (however be ready to give way if he does not). If another yacht was on starboard tack then the windward rule would apply. Being hove to does not effect the way we apply the rules. It is for this reason it is preferable to hove-to on starboard tack instead of port.
- DOUG INNES, Yachtmaster Examiner
"I have been told by an RYA Instructor that when I cross the English Channel from the Solent to France that I should calculate one massive course to steer allowing for 10 hours of tide. Surely it would be more efficient to use the chart plotter to follow the rum line route? Would this not mean I sail a much shorter distance?" Tricia, Southampton
Tricia, this is a good question. We will for the minute ignore the fact that you may not be able to sail on all headings and we will assume that you are reaching the whole way. If we look at distance travelled over the ground then, yes the rum line is in fact the shortest route and would therefore appear to be quicker. However what we are more interested in, is the distance we actually sail or motor through the water as this will effectively be our total distance travelled. To make things easy lest assume the rum line route runs due South and that the Channel tides run East/West.
Lets also assume that the boat travels at 5 knots. Picture now a boat that adjusts its heading every hours to allow for the changing tide and to ensure he stays on the rum line. During the strongest hours of tide he will be pointing almost straight into the tide, expending a considerable amount of power to stay on the rum line without actually making much headway towards his destination.
Another boat however that has calculated a ten hour course to steer will always be making headway South and not wasting power to fight into the east or Westerly tide he will of course sail a shorter distance through the water although his track over the ground will have been all over the place as he was pushed down tide one way and then back the other.
In summary I would calculate a Course to Steer for the whole passage based on your assumed speed. About three quarters of the way across I would calculate a new course to steer, as it would be likely that I would have travelled slightly faster or slower than originally predicted. I may also re calculate a final course to steer when I am about an hour away from destination to tidy up any other errors that have occurred and based on a new eyeball fix.

Where are you today?
I'm sitting on the terrace of the House of Lords, by the river, in the gentle sunshine, watching the Clerk of the Parliaments tuck into an enormous cooked breakfast.
You've done well to end up there. What first attracted you to politics?
Alcohol. I was having a drink in the pub and somebody mentioned to me something called the Conservative Research Department. I popped in to pick up some leaflets and two hours later the director had offered me a job. I said, "How much are you offering, in terms of pay?" He looked across the desk and said, "You require a salary?" That was the start of my crazy career in politics.
Do the politicians you've met along the way share any particular traits?
You have to have a bit of ego and a hell of a thick skin. It helps to have a few principles and values as well. You also have to accept that there'll be times when somebody's going to come along with a bucket of shit and pour it all over you. If you can put up with that, you've got a chance at being a politician.
And who was a real-life exemplary power player?
I was Margaret Thatcher's chief of staff. She was the most extraordinary, powerful politician who created all sorts of change for this country. But like almost every other prime minister for a century, she was forced out. It is strange that even though she climbed to the top of the tree, she ended up getting it wrong.
Kevin Spacey is terrifyingly thuggish as Frank Underwood, the protagonist in House of Cards. Do you know who he based his version on?
I can only guess at that, as I haven't sat with Kevin and analysed it in great detail. But he had just come off a supremely successful world tour of Richard III. I don't think he had to do much reappraisal before he slipped into FU.
Do you think House of Cards is in fact better suited to US politics?
American politics has more power, and it has more money. I think that encourages the darker side of politics. So in a way, House of Cards is an even more natural fit to the US system than the British one, because it does concentrate on that side of things. Remember it's a drama, not a documentary – it misses out the vast majority of politics. It sits very neatly in Washington DC and the cultures of power there. But it would sit just as neatly, I suspect, in the Kremlin. Although I don't suppose there, for instance, Mrs Khrushchev would have had quite the same sort of impact as Clare Underwood would have.
How did you spend election night?
I was at Conservative Party HQ with campaign strategist Lynton Crosby, watching the results come in. It was one of the most exciting nights of my political life. Seeing what the party's predictions were for all the seats, seeing what the straw polls on the day were predicting, and then seeing the actual results come in. It was electrifying.
Was the result a surprise to you?
One of my sons is a very active campaigner for the Labour party. He's a young man and I regard him as being foolish in some of his ways – in his football team and his choice of political allegiance. I bet him that the Tories would win by six per cent and I was wrong. It ended up being six and a half per cent, I think. Like many other Conservatives, I can say that on the ground it felt different from what the commentators were telling us.
So how do your son's allegiances differ on the pitch?
He supports Chelsea, I'm an Arsenal man. I always have been – ever since I was born next to the Spurs training ground.Reuse content
