Consumers Should Not Stress Out If Their Dealership Closes
130,000 Independent Repair Shops Positioned to Meet Service & Repair Needs
BETHESDA, Md., June 4 Vehicle owners should not stress out about where they will get service and repair if their local new car dealership closes, advises the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA). More than 130,000 independent repair shops, conveniently located in most every community nationwide, have access to the parts for all vehicles, as well as the required professional technicians, tools and equipment.
Independent repair businesses account for more than 70 percent of vehicle service and repair, compared to 28 percent of non-warranty repairs by new car dealerships. Even before the rash of dealership closings, the number of dealerships and their share of the service and repair market have gradually declined each year since 2000, according to AAIA.
"There is a lot of confusion and anxiety among consumers these days about seeking quality service and repair for their vehicle," said Kathleen Schmatz, AAIA president and CEO. "Vehicle owners need to look no further than their own community to find a reputable repair shop to care for their vehicle and protect the warranty."
The Car Care Council reported recently that, "It's a myth that only new car dealers can service vehicles under warranty." Consumers are protected by a law -- the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act -- that prohibits a vehicle manufacturer from voiding the vehicle warranty because service was done by a non-dealer.
In April, Consumer Reports stated, "Legally, you can have maintenance performed by any mechanic without affecting your warranty. Just keep thorough records in case of a warranty claim. The only services that need to be performed at a dealership are warranty repairs, recalls or post-warranty work that you want the manufacturer to pay for."

Ducks, Musical Chords and How They Both Can Be Harmonious
We sang our "Let's See Who's Here Today" song, and
then we got right to the dancing with "Wake Up" (click for song) from the television show "Lazy Town".
"Lazy Town" is a European Import from Iceland. We have some in the library catalog.
It's pretty interesting and full of energy.
To read more about it click HERE.
Below you will find our dance movements and lyrics:
Wake up, Wake up. (Stretch)
It's a great big beautiful day. (Stretch)
Wake up, wake up. (Yawn)
It's a day to go out and play, (Yawn)
And smile at the world. (Draw smile on face)
Open your eyes and jump out the bed. (Point to eyes and blink)
You just wake up, wake up. (Jump up and out of bed)
After we finished warming up with the "Wake Up" song, we did our music lesson.
You can see the "Music House" on the board above.
You always see the treble clef upstairs and the bass clef in the basement.
Our lesson this time was about CHORDS. On the board you see three notes next to each other in a line. That is more like a melody, because each note is played or sang in a row. If you stack all three notes on top of one another, they become a chord. If they are stacked, then you sing or play them all at the same time which creates "harmony". I was actually going for a C CHORD which would have been a C (directly between the floors on the music house), E (on the first line), and G (on the second line).
You're all super smart, so you will have noticed that we have a C and an E and a B (which is the third line). HA HA HA
So, what we actually have is a more complicated CHORD, the open Cmaj7 (C major 7th with no third) YIKES! Too much for toddlers, but I try to teach you parents and guardians as well. Smiles! I never told the kiddies this in class. We just called it C and moved on to a new song/dance I wrote that used a C and F CHORD!!!
HERE is a fun webtool that will help you figure out what notes are in what chords.
My song is called "Fancy Dancer" and is based on a poem of the same name by Nina Payne.
I found the poem in the book, Shimmy Shake Earthquake. The Melody is all mine. I think I will do this song again at Countryside Library on 17 April. So come on out if you missed it the first time around.
Then, I got out my handy autoharp and we sang a plucky French folk song
from The Golden Songbook called, "Les Petites Marionettes", which means the little marionettes.
This also has simple hand movements where your fingers are up with palms forward dancing like the marionettes.
At the end there are three little turns and away they go. Click on the title above for the song.
Our first story that morning was also one of harmony, just like musical CHORDS!
Kali's Song by Jeanette Winter
Kali's song is the story of a prehistoric boy who decides to play music on his bow instead of use it to shoot arrows. What can I say? The boy had music in his heart! And people have probably had played music since the stone age. HERE is an ABC news article about it, if you're interested.
Now, for the part you have all been waiting for…
We enjoyed an entire block of things regarding ducks.
Below is a list of what we shared.
"The Ducky Dance" which is actually the "Chicken Dance" (Made popular at wedding recptions. You know the one.)
A Draw and Tell Story, "Danny's Winter Vacation", from More Tell and Draw Stories by Oldfield (Danny is a Duck.)
Hey Duck by Carin Bramson
The famous Sesame Street Song, "Rubber Ducky"
Peep and Ducky by David Martin
(Peep and Ducky have learn the ins and outs of playing together in HARMONY)
And when we got back from ducky world, it was time to learn some rhythm.
Everyone got some sticks or bells, and we played the "Copy my Rhythm" game.
Everyone listened to the rhythm I played and repeated it.
We started simple and gradually got more complicated.
We used songs that we had sang or played earlier and looked at the notes on the sheet music,
so we could see how more flags on a note makes it move faster.
Look, you can even see Danny Duck from our draw and tell story on the chalk board!
The final act included:
Who Bop by Jonathan London
The Nursery Rhyme, "Banbury Cross" with movements
Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross, (Riding horse, holding reigns)
To see a fine lady upon a white horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, (Wiggle fingers, wiggle toes)
And she shall have music wherever she goes. (Ride horse again)
See you next time. And don't forget to have fun with music and stories at home.
-Mr. David

Legend™ 2-PART LABELLING SYSTEM
Legend™ 2-part wire marking includes a clear plastic tube with 2 recesses. One for the label and one for the wire.
Why choose a 2-part system?
Depending on your application and project a 2 part system can have a lot of benefits:
What printing options are there?
Is a special thermal ribbon needed if the thermal option is chosen?
You can use the same ribbon and same printer as all of our other thermal labels.
What about durability?
The finished printed labels have been independently tested for a variety of conditions including: High/Low temperature, H2S and even Salt mist spray.
Are labels easy to fit/remove?
Yes, we have a special flexible design so you can pull label into clear tube mounting. We have developed this because rigid options can suffer from over tightness which in turn results in difficulties inserting/removing the label block from the clear tube. By using flexible plastics, Silver Fox addresses these issues, while still offering a fully durable labelling solution.
Leave the tail of the label on to the end of the project – this makes the label even easier to remove.

The human factor was the distillation of the essence of what distinguished humans from other species (primarily Daleks).
The Daleks recruited the Second Doctor, against his will, to isolate and identify the human factor, using Jamie McCrimmon as a test subject. The Daleks claimed that they wished to distill the most important qualities from the factor and use it to make themselves more deadly. The Daleks, in fact, planned all along to use the Doctor's work to identify the Dalek factor. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks)
Once the human factor was identified, it was experimentally transferred to test Daleks, creating three humanised Daleks. The Doctor gave them the names Alpha, Beta, and Omega. He later sabotaged a Dalek machine so that it instilled the human Factor into any Dalek that passed through it, converting them into humanised Daleks as well. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks)
The human factor was later used to create a whole colony of Daleks on the planet Kyrol. (COMIC: Children of the Revolution)

Representative Engagements
The Solvency II regime continues to move forward in Europe, and prudential insurance regulation around the globe is becoming more risk-based, requiring better alignment between firms' specific risk profiles and the quantity of capital allocated against them. Regulatory bodies are becoming more focused on comprehensive corporate governance and disclosure practices. A complete understanding and sound management of insured risks are crucial to the successful management of insurance portfolios.
Together with increasing sector and intra-sector competition and continued pressure on policy pricing, these changes have profound implications for the business model and competitiveness of insurance entities globally. As a result, insurers should continuously review the relevance of their business models, compliance, governance, and risk management strategies within the context of this dynamic and complex environment.
Globally, many insurance companies have altered their core strategies either by seeking to expand their traditional footprint or by entering new product arenas in an effort to add ever-increasing value to their customer bases.
There is a global trend of regulators seeking a more comprehensive understanding of insurance activities. This increased level of regulatory inquiry will be a fixture within the insurance industry for many years to come. The ability to address these inquiries and turn regulatory challenges into competitive advantages is key to creating value. This requires understanding the regulatory trend, anticipating its impact on the firm internally and on its competitors, developing corresponding strategies, and taking concrete actions.
Promontory balances practical business knowledge with regulatory wisdom. Promontory's strength in assisting insurance firms comes from our rich international team of professionals, including senior alumni from national and international supervisory bodies such as CEIOPS (now EIOPA) and the U.K. Financial Services Authority, who oversaw the design and implementation of regulatory frameworks, and former senior industry executives with solid experience in insurance practice. This mix of high-quality senior public- and private-sector experts combined with the expertise we bring from other financial services sectors enables us to help insurance firms anticipate supervisory expectations and navigate complex issues.

Taylor Swift's 14-Hour Fan Lovefest (VIDEO)
Taylor Swift might have her detractors, but they certainly seem to be in the extreme minority.
True to her word, the Fearless songbird held a 13-hour fan meet-and-greet at this year's CMA Music Festival in Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. Well, actually, it was extended to 14 hours. Because it took her that long to sign all of the autographs.
While the festival took place back in June, the CMAs were broadcast on Wednesday night, offering those who couldn't be there an opportunity to witness the massive deluge of Swifties, and Taylor's relentless determination to give every one of them some face time.
Check out the video below to see a condensed version of Swift's meet-and-greet marathon.

Try to be more conscious about biting your lip, and stop yourself whenever you find that you're gnawing on it. If your lips are dry, sore or swollen, use a moisturizing lip balm.
You may not be able to control lip chewing if you're biting your lip at night when you sleep. If this is the case, ask your dentist to give you a splint for your teeth to prevent injury.

Apparently in a few weeks we will be getting a few "Revelations" on Revenge, and yesterday ABC released the official synopsis for the episode. Potential spoilers!
Revenge has moved on from being a show just about Emily Thorne's quest for vengeance against the Grayson family, and this season we have been seeing a lot more of the minor characters stepping into the light. For example, this episode description barely mentions Emily. Thanks to Examiner for the details.
"Nolan is confronted with a skeleton from his past, and Daniel's leading role is challenged as Emily and Aiden weave their way through Grayson Global. Meanwhile, the christening of baby Carl brings new concerns to light for Jack and Declan."
We like that we have gotten so see a different side of Nolan this year (even though we miss the strong relationship he and Emily used to have), and it seems like the focus of "Revelations" might be on Nolan.
We don't know too much about his past – aside from David Clarke's investment and Nolan's shaky relationship with his father – but it looks like we're about to learn more.
With the way things are going now, Conrad will probably end up in jail, which then puts Daniel in charge of Grayson Global. This episode description seems to indicate that Daniel is indeed taking over for his father, but who would be challenging his role?
What are Emily and Aiden doing weaving their way through Grayson Global? Are they working on bringing the whole company down?
We posted photos yesterday that show baby Carl's christening, but we also mention how Kenny is hanging out in the back with another man, who on Sunday we learned was his brother, Nate. We expect the "new concerns" for Jack and Declan to be related to the new owner of the Stowaway and his shady family.

Home tour kicks off holiday season in Chatfield
Chatfield Lutheran Church mission projects benefit from ticket sales of tour
By Melissa Vander Plas
Wednesday, November 28, 2012 8:29 AM
This view of the Elizabeth and Derrick Allen home includes two of the many Christmas trees that are located throughout the home. Participants of the holiday home tour on Sunday will see many such festive displays throughout the home.
The nativity displays are some of the Pederson family's favorite holiday items. Michael and Michelle and their daughters know the real "reason for the season" and this display includes several different types of nativity sets, including a simple, wood-carved set, shown lower right, created by Michelle's grandfather from wood from his farm.
The Chatfield Lutheran Church's Holiday Tour of Homes on Sunday, Dec. 2, promises to be a wonderful kickoff to the holiday season in Chatfield. The tour, being held from noon to 3:30 p.m. will feature five local homes, decorated and adorned with the most festive of decorations.
The tour, sponsored by the Youth and Family Committee, will begin at the church where one can enjoy a few refreshments before deciding which of the five homes to visit first. The homes featured on the tour this year are owned by Nancy Giehtbrock, Elizabeth and Derrick Allen, Ross and Jen Johnson, Michael and Michelle Pederson and Doug and Kelly Nosbisch.
The first two homes on the tour were featured in last week's Chatfield News or can be found online at www.bluffcountrynews.com under the Chatfield News heading. The final three homes on the tour are featured here.
Elizabeth and Derrick Allen
The Allen home, built just 10 years ago on the south end of Main Street, has provided a great deal of space for the Allen's four daughters to play and for the Allens to entertain.
"Our home is filled with many snapshot pictures of special places we've been to or things we've done as a blended family," shared Elizabeth.
She added their home is filled with many worded sign decorations that encourage living life with faith and putting the family first.
"We are grateful for all we have despite the difficulties we've experienced and I believe our home is a tribute to our desire to celebrate life and happiness," Elizabeth continued.
The Allens have only lived in the home a little more than a year. "Before we moved, we painted the girls rooms and bathrooms to fit their tastes and personalities," she explained. "We also painted our downstairs family room and added a few personal touches to make it our own."
The family utilizes many magnetic photo boards to display its family photos and they enjoy using old doors and windows to make furniture. "I have a great deal of Christmas and seasonal hand-painted windows you will get to see displayed throughout the home from the Flower Gallery in Osage, Iowa," Elizabeth described.
Having lived in Osage originally, Elizabeth explained she loves having local artists' work in her Minnesota home. She added that GeriAnn Hanson fulfilled two unique requests in their home as well, painting two murals in the home. The first is in the upstairs bedroom of Isabelle, who has a mural of the horses she loves. There is also a mural in the playroom that "looks like heaven" in honor of Isabelle and Payton's late father.
"Definitely check out the wonderful work Geri Ann did creating clouds and sunlight - it is beautiful," Elizabeth added.
Christmas would be special for the Allens wherever they lived, said Elizabeth. "While we love this home, it wouldn't matter where we lived," she explained. "Christmas is always special when we can be together. We appreciate and celebrate every day we are given together."
The entire Allen family, including daughters Isabelle, Teagan, Peyton and Tatum, all worked hard to get things ready for the tour. The girls saved their money and invested in American Girl dolls. They have set up their playroom to showcase these dolls - a tribute to their hard work and their idea of fun!
"Our decorating is eclectic," Elizabeth concluded. "There is very little rhyme or reason. Just as we try to teach our girls to try different things, never limit yourself, color outside the lines and have fun in all you do!"
Ross and Jen Johnson
"Holidays take on many meanings, but for us, it is simply a time to reflect on the blessings that surround us," explained Jen Johnson. "Along with this, we enjoy the signature sights, smells and traditions that Christmas time brings."
She explained that she and her husband, Ross, were married in 2010, so are at the beginning of starting their own family traditions and noted they have been on an adventure so far.
"From Christmas spent in the mountains of Montana to Christmas Eve services held at the small country churches of Southeast Minnesota, we are experiencing new and wonderful traditions we will surely carry on through the years," Jen added.
The Johnson home was built in the fall and winter of 2009 and the couple was able to move in just before Christmas of that year. "We quickly went and bought the 10-foot tree seen in the main level family room," Jen said. "That year, it only had a few ornaments, but we have added many more in the past few years."
The Johnsons have started a new tradition, a holiday party they call the "Jingle Mingle." "It is the perfect opportunity to invite family, friends and neighbors over to our home so we can begin warding off cabin fever while enjoying other excitement of the holiday season," Jen said. "You will see signs and décor referencing 'Jingle' as a tribute to this celebration."
The wall color on the main level of the home shows off the Johnsons' adventurous side and "go for it" attitude while the lower level is a more cozy and tranquil space.
"Focusing on making our home twinkle, shimmer, sparkle and shine is key to our decorating style," Jen added. "Most everything will have lights on it, in it or around it! Many of the extras we have are covered in sparkle. Sometimes we blame the mess of glitter, often surrounding the trees, on the glitter fairy!"
The Johnsons' collection of trees has become a favorite of the holidays and they have accumulated many in just a few years. Jen explained, "Each has its own color scheme and was picked to compliment the room itself. Ornaments and other accessories have been added to objects we have out all year to make it merrier. This is something we do for all holidays throughout the year; it allows us to keep special décor out year round, but with a fresh twist."
The Johnsons wish everyone a wonderful and safe holiday season, surrounded by those whom are cherished. "We will leave you with these words by Calvin Coolidge, 'Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy is to have the real spirit of Christmas.'"
Michael and Michelle Pederson
The Pederson home, built at the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010, features a comfortable living space complete with a fun entertainment area in the basement. There is a wet bar with cabinetry constructed of willow with a unique pattern on the walls. The bar countertop was made by the Amish and is a two-tone wood top consisting of walnut and maple.
"It's a great place for hanging out, catching a ball game on TV, playing board games and filling up on popcorn from the big popcorn machine," said Michelle.
As the holidays approach, Michelle explained the family likes to add a touch of Christmas in every room. "Our Christmas decorations include everything from Santas to snowmen, angels, carolers, numerous trees and lots of greenery and lights," she continued. "Our girls each have an ornament collection and you will see this in their bedrooms."
A unique piece of furniture one will see on the tour is a lead glass window that came from Michael's parents' house from 822 Fillmore Street in Chatfield and would be about 80 years old. "It is pretty hanging on the wall all by itself or adding a wreath to it," Michelle added.
Christmas is made special by the Christmas traditions the Pedersons have created in their home and established as a family. "We have Elfie in the house watching the girls to see if they are naughty or nice," Michelle shared.
The family also makes a gingerbread house every year, which is always entertaining and sometimes a bit frustrating. They decorate the house together, bake cookies and go to Christmas Eve mass. Michelle also enjoys setting a beautiful table with china dishes. Another tradition in the family is that everyone gets new pajamas for Christmas on Christmas Eve.
As community members tour the Pederson home on Sunday, Michelle asks that they look for several special things throughout the home. "Decorating with things that have special meaning is what you will find in our home," she said. "You will find special Christmas outfits hanging up, arts and crafts our girls have made in school, an angel tree for all the special angels we have in our lives, with angel wings tied on to the lights."
The most beautiful decoration, according to Michelle, is the nativity scene telling the Christmas story and the reason they are celebrating the holiday. "You will see multiple nativities on display," she concluded. "One nativity in particular is very special. It is very simply carved, but was made by the hands of my grandfather and the wood came from his farmland."
Tour details
The tour begins at Chatfield Lutheran Church, 304 Fillmore St. SE, Chatfield. Tickets are $5 and are available, along with maps and shoe bags, beginning at 11:45 a.m. Refreshments will be served in the narthex from that time until 3:45 p.m. For more information, call Chatfield Lutheran Church at (507) 867-4721
The first two of the five homes will be previewed in this issue and the other three will be featured in next week's Chatfield News.

I wrote a letter the other day explaining how everything happens for a reason…even if you don't immediately understand why.
In similar fashion, the boys of The Lonely Biscuits recorded and filmed a music video this summer in the Jersey Shore called "Everybody". The song weaves through lyrics about letting go of the things that are out of our control, and focusing on the positive to move forward; They initially chose not to release it citing there was no true emotional connection to the lyrics.
Then Sandy hit.
The Shore and many parts of the east coast were devastated, and the process of rebuilding and moving forward is in full effect. The guys decided to release the track in honor of all of us who were affected, with 100% of proceeds going towards rebuilding these communities.
Name your price here, every little bit helps.
The Lonely Biscuits Facebook ~ Twitter /// Fresh Musikk's Facebook ~ Twitter
"We wrote this song in the summer of 2012 in New Jersey. The song is about moving on and looking up when we cannot control the situations that we are going through. We have had a surreal experience with this song and video, considering this town is now in shambles. We were never going to release this song because we could not connect to it and did not realize the meaning in the lyrics that we had written at the time. However, after Hurricane Sandy hit, we noticed that there is something much deeper within this song that was meant to spread positivity and uplift everyone's spirits during this time of tragedy. There has been some serious fate that has taken place while making this song and video and deciding not to release it, and we feel that it was made solely to help the victims of the storm. There is more than just our music in this song, there is love, hope, and a meaning that we did not control and cannot describe. All proceeds will be going towards helping rebuild the communities affected. Peace and Love Biscuits."

Do you need to raise money for your Church? Have you though about using a Church Fundraising Calendar?
A Church fundraising calendar is a remarkable approach to be able to help make your own congregants mindful of all your annual events. The actual strategy here is to develop a new exciting effortless to read annual calendar that shows all of your church activities.
Your own church fundraising calendar needs to possess details on your church events as well as neighborhood community activities. This may serve a couple of functions. 1st, an individual, as a fundraising and event manager will probably know and also make certain that your church events dont conflict with neighborhood events. Next, your members will end up being able to plan and choose which events they desire to show up at.
Particularly essential info ought to be incorporated on your fundraising calendar. Regarding each church occasion you record on your fundraising calendar a person should incorporate related economic information. List out exactly how much income you require with regard to the particular function and then revise your contributions as funds come in.
You might also want to consider an online fundraising thermometer to help show your supporters how much money you have raised and what still needs to come in.
For instance in the event that you are organizing some sort of children's function that will cost each and every participator $250 record that this is the expense for each youth. Next list that you have got 10 youngsters which are planning to be present. This indicates that you are in need of $2500. After that while charitable contributions arrive, bring up to date your total.
Any time your members look at the calendar they will be able to determine wherever you are well financed as well as exactly where you are still incomplete.
Additionally essential to your fundraising calendar is a checklist of when all your group meetings will certainly be. This offers the chance for givers to be able to request information as well as exhibiting that you are properly structured and preparing for the whole calendar year.
Ones church fundraising calendar could end up being put on a message board in a principal meeting location such as a fellowship community hall or entry. Help to make certain that all your members have simple accessibility to and sufficient possibility to examine the fundraising calendar.
A last suggestion in order to help make your fundraising calendar a total achievement is actually to mention it on a frequent basis. Make positive your members know that it is out there.

Viral Hepatitis
A common cause of hepatitis is an infection with a virus. The five viruses primarily associated with hepatitis are named in the order of their discovery: A, B, C, D, and E. In the UK, acute viral hepatitis is most commonly caused by hepatitis A (HAV), hepatitis B (HBV), and hepatitis C (HCV), while only HBV and HCV cause chronic hepatitis.
Hepatitis A is spread through water and food that have been contaminated with the virus derived from human faeces and urine. Rates of hepatitis A have been dropping and are the lowest in 40 years due to a vaccine introduced in 1995. Hepatitis A causes an acute infection but not a chronic form of the disease. Treatment usually involves only supportive therapy, and most patients recover fully within about six months. Persons who have been in recent close contact with a known case of hepatitis A can benefit from prompt administration of prophylactic hepatitis A vaccine or human normal immunoglobulin.
Hepatitis B (HBV) can be spread by exposure to contaminated blood or needles, through unprotected sex with an infected person, and from an infected mother to baby. It is the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis. All pregnant women in the UK are offered hepatitis B screening and newborns of infected mothers areroutinely vaccinated which dramatically reduces the risk of them becoming infected.
Most adults with HBV will get better without any intervention, but about 1-3% become carriers - chronically infected and able to spread the disease to others. Up to 90% of newborns and 25-50% of children 1 to 5 years old who are infected with hepatitis B virus develop a chronic infection. With the advent of screening pregnant women for hepatitis B and the vaccination of newborns, the number of infected babies has fallen. Most chronic hepatitis B infections are now seen in people born in parts of the world (particularly southern and eastern Asia, southern Europe, and Africa) where infection among newborns still remains common. An estimated 350 million people around the world are chronically infected with HBV.
Hepatitis C (HCV) is spread by exposure to contaminated blood. The most common mechanism of exposure is the sharing of needles or other "works" used in injecting drugs of abuse such as cocaine or heroin. Other means of becoming infected include occupational exposure of health care workers to used needles or other sharp objects, through sexual activity that results in tissue tears, from mother to baby during childbirth, and sharing personal items contaminated with blood such as razors and toothbrushes.
HCV is less common than hepatitis B as a cause of acute hepatitis but is the most common cause of chronic hepatitis. About 75% to 85% of those exposed to the virus develop chronic hepatitis C infection. In addition, about 60% to 70% develop chronic liver disease, roughly 5% to 20% will develop cirrhosis over many years, and 1% to 5% are estimated to die from a condition that results from chronic infection such as cirrhosis and liver cancer.
There is no vaccine available to prevent hepatitis C, but research is in progress to develop one. Currently, the best way to avoid getting infected is to limit exposure to possible sources of the virus, especially avoiding the sharing of needles to inject drugs.
Hepatitis D and E are rare. Hepatitis D only causes an infection when hepatitis B is present and can make that infection more severe. It is usually spread by exposure to blood or infected needles. Hepatitis E is spread in a similar fashion to hepatitis A and is found primarily in Asia, Africa, and South America.
Signs and Symptoms of viral hepatitis correspond to those of hepatitis in general. See the section on Signs and Symptoms for detailed information.
Laboratory Tests
There are a variety of antibody and antigen tests that are available to help diagnose and/or monitor hepatitis caused by the specific hepatitis viruses. For testing information on the most common causes of viral hepatitis, see the pages on hepatitis A, B, and C or see the summary information on them in the table below.

Abbreviations Defined
The incidence of new cases of viral hepatitis has decreased due to use of safe injection and safe sex practices (important in preventing hepatitis B and C) and the availability of vaccines for hepatitis A and hepatitis B (there is currently no vaccine available for hepatitis C). Screening units of blood for hepatitis B and C has virtually eliminated infections through blood transfusions. A systematic programme to screen pregnant mothers for hepatitis B and to vaccinate all newborns with infected mothers has greatly decreased new cases of hepatitis B.
Support and symptom relief are frequently the only treatments required for acute viral hepatitis A, B, and C. This usually involves plenty of rest, fluids, and nutritious food. With hepatitis A, most people recover without any complications. With hepatitis B and C, some people may develop chronic forms of the disease. The goal with chronic forms is to minimise further damage to the liver, to treat underlying conditions that are causing or exacerbating the condition, and to prevent transmission of viral hepatitis to others. There are medications available to treat chronic hepatitis B and C, but not all people need to be treated. The antiviral drugs that are given can have serious side effects. Often, people with chronic hepatitis will be closely monitored to see if they develop cirrhosis or liver cancer. New treatments, vaccines, and prevention strategies for viral hepatitis continue to emerge. It is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of currently available options.

BMW layoffs exemplify the evisceration of the middle class
Every working American should be dismayed by —
and afraid of — what BMW is doing.
By Michael Hiltzik
By all accounts, BMW's parts distribution warehouse in Ontario was one of the jewels of the company's system.
Supplying dealer service departments throughout Southern California, Arizona and Nevada, it received gold medals from BMW for its efficiency and employed several of the top-ranked workers in the country. In the roughly 40 years its workers had been represented by the Teamsters union, there had never been a labor stoppage.
Times being what they are, when a Teamsters committee came to the plant in early June to open negotiations over a new contract to start Sept. 1, they thought they might be asked to accept minuscule wage increases and maybe some givebacks on health coverage.
They were stunned by what they heard instead: As of Aug. 31, the plant would be outsourced to an unidentified third-party logistics company and all but three of its 71 employees laid off.
The union contract will be terminated. Some of the employees might be offered jobs with the new operator, but there are no guarantees. And no one expects the new bosses will match the existing $25 hourly scale or the health benefits provided now.
The average seniority of employees at Ontario is about 20 years; five have spent 30 years or more at Ontario or its predecessor warehouse in Carson. Of the employees to be laid off (according to a notice BMW sent the union), 27 are age 50 or older. The word that came most often to the lips of workers and their families I've talked to is "devastated."
"The hardest thing I ever had to do in my life was to look my family in the eyes and tell them that after 32 years I'm out of a job," says Tim Kitchen, who at 53 is the longest-serving employee at the warehouse. The esprit de corps that once prevailed in the warehouse is gone, he says. "You walk in there now, it's like a morgue." Early retirement isn't an option; Kitchen still has two kids' college educations to pay for.
Every working American should be dismayed by — and afraid of — what BMW is doing.

I have written a blog about imagining the story and making a wish list for Season 3, but this time, I have thought of another ideas of how Season 3 may happen. As you see, we have noticed that there were main villains, or bosses appeared in every first two part episodes in every beginning of the new seasons. Nightmare Moon appeared in the beginning of Season 1, turning Equestria into eternal darkness. Discord appeared in the beginning of Season 2, turning Equestria into a world of chaos. So, who's gonna appear as the main villain in Season 3, and what kind of powers will they use to attack Equestria and suffer the main 6? I want to hear your ideas and imaginations, with no negative and offensive objections and arguments needed! (I'm talking peace here, not criticisms)
In my case, I've always thought of an enemy who plans to destroy the world into pieces rather than conquering and changing it into negativeness, since I believe that type of enemy is a lot more powerful and evil than just plain baddies, and more like a god. But since this is My Little Pony, I had a second thought that it doesn't seem to be right for that kind of idea to be in the show, so I decided to think of another thing. But when I was surfing through DeviantArt, I found this: http://daviez20.deviantart.com/gallery/34538426. This kinda gave me an interest and some ideas, like what if there was an enemy who conquers fears, and trap everypony into the realm that they mostly fear of. Not just making them become crazy, but to fall in deep despair which victims cannot stand up forward anymore. But of course, Element of Harmony is the ultimate weapon for the main 6, so it'll be stopped and defeat the enemy. But unlike how they defeated Discord, this may be a toughest enemy to defeat, when Twilight's friends are in deep fear and despair.
This is just my fictional imaginations, but nobody knows how's gonna be like in the real show. But still, imagining it ain't gonna hurt. So give us your ideas!

Yarnbrook is a large hamlet in Wiltshire, England, between the towns of Westbury and Trowbridge. Most of it lies in the civil parish of North Bradley, the rest in West Ashton. Most of the settlement's houses stand on the A350 road, which runs between the M4 motorway near Chippenham and the south coast of England at Poole, Dorset.
Yarnbrook has never been a parish in its own right, but the name dates from at least the 16th century. In 1581 the Will of Agnes Guley, widow of Yarnbrook in North Bradley, was proved at Salisbury. In the Middle Ages Yarnbrook was within Selwood Forest, and the ancient woodland called Picket Wood which stands to the east of the present-day settlement is one of the few surviving areas of Selwood. The first edition of the Andrews and Dury map of Wiltshire (1773) shows only Bradley Mill and a few other houses at Yarnbrook. The hamlet grew up around a crossroads where what is now the A350 meets the A363 and where a pub, now called the Longs Arms and Hungry Horse, has existed since 1803, when it was first built. This was recorded as "the Long's Arms, Yarnbrook", in 1842.
Until 1805 a large area of common land called Yarnbrook Common stretched from Yarnbrook to the boundaries of Westbury, and after this was enclosed several terraces of small workmen's cottages were added to Yarnbrook. In 1874 a Baptist chapel was built to seat 120 people. After the First World War housing development began to spread along the Westbury Road.[1] In the mid 20th century a petrol filling station was opened at the former crossroads, immediately opposite the Longs Arms, and as traffic levels increased the crossroads was converted into a roundabout. The filling station operates 24 hours a day.

A local developer garnered the Killeen City Council's support of rezoning almost 200 acres near the Killeen and Harker Heights city limits for a planned unit development at Tuesday's regular meeting.
Killeen Chaparral Development LLC and RSBP Developers Inc. received consent from the city to rezone the 199.5 acres of land north of the right-of-way of Chaparral Road in South Killeen from an agricultural district, suburban residential single-family district and agricultural single-family residential district to a planned unit development.
Of the 199.5 acres rezoned, 67 will be set aside for the city's use as a park.
"The property owners are wishing to construct single-family residences, and in doing so brought to the staff's attention the benefits of the property and the unique site characteristics," City Planner Tony McIlwain said. "It has a live water flow across the property, and (the developers) thought that might have some benefit as a park feature."
City Manager Glenn Morrison said the park space would be a "work in progress."
"There's a reasonable park concept there," he said. "There is a linear piece where you could see hiking and biking trails. Then you have the regional park that could potentially connect to an existing community park. I think we will see phasing with this."
The council granted approval for the development after setting forth stipulations requiring the architecture of the homes to consist of 75 percent masonry and there be at least two canopy trees and eight three-gallon shrubs per lot.
Councilman Jared Foster said the space will be "a great asset for growth and it also represents the spirit of what a PUD is."
Councilman Terry Clark said the property donated to the city by the developers is "incredibly beautiful."
"The developer is spending a large sum of money cleaning up the land that he is willing to allow the city to use as a park," he said. "It's unbelievable even in its raw form."

ATA data shows decline in driver turnover but problems remain in finding drivers
While the turnover rate at large truckload carriers dipped in the fourth quarter of 2012, the issue of finding and retaining qualified drivers remains a top priority for pretty much all carriers.
in the NewsPort of Los Angeles and GE enhance "digitization" of supply chain Epson partners with Loftware DHL opens second Dallas-area facility CSX CEO Harrison won't back down when it comes to addressing service issues and operational plans Randstad Report: 76% of U.S. workers do not fear automation More News
While the turnover rate at large truckload carriers dipped in the fourth quarter of 2012, the issue of finding and retaining qualified drivers remains a top priority for pretty much all carriers.
This was evident in today's release of the American Trucking Associations' (ATA) Trucking Activity Report, which noted that large truckload carrier turnover fell from an annualized rate of 104 percent in the third quarter to 90 percent in the fourth quarter, marking the lowest turnover rate since the first quarter of 2012. The ATA added that for all of 2012 large truckload carriers had a 98 percent turnover rate since 2007's apex of 117 percent.
For smaller truckload fleets, the ATA said the turnover rate fell to 76 percent in the fourth quarter, down from 94 percent in the third quarter, with 2012's overall turnover rate at 82 percent, which was its highest rate since hitting 90 percent in 2007.
"As freight volumes slid a bit at the end of 2012, we saw turnover follow suit," ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello said in a statement. "However, this is just a respite from the long-term trend and driver shortage storm that's coming when the freight economy accelerates; and even then, these relaxed levels are still quite high relative to recent years. Once we see steadier, more robust economic growth, we could see an industry that is short by as many as 239,000 drivers by 2022," Costello said. "Hard as it may to believe, we may someday soon look back on turnover rates of just 90 percent as the good old days as increased demand, an aging workforce and regulatory constraints combine to push the shortage higher."
What's more, Costello added that the trucking sector is still short anywhere between 20,000-25,000 truckload drivers, which he said could rise due to a healthier economy in the future.
As LM has reported, driver turnover and tight capacity are two things that clearly go hand in hand in the trucking industry, especially during the current tight market conditions, spurred on by a slow economic recovery and the December 2010 implementation of CSA, as well as planned changes to truck driver hours-of-service (HOS) regulations that are set to take effect in mid-2013.
And regulations like CSA and HOS, as well as Electronic On Board Recorders (EOBR) continue to play a major role in carriers' being hesitant to increase capacity and subsequently hire drivers, which continues to be challenging, as evidenced by ATA's data.
Projections from freight transportation forecasting consultancy FTR Associates estimate that this problem is likely to get worse and by 2014 the driver shortage could be in the 250,000 range, which Stifel Nicolaus analyst John Larkin said is going to create a capacity shortage which will translate into "fairly sizable rate increases" that might be steeper than what has occurred during the slow growth period over the last couple of years.
Gordon Klemp, founder and president of the National Transportation Institute (NTI), Kansas City, Mo., studies truck driver availability, compensation, turnover and fleets' ability to attract suitable drivers. He said in a previous interview that driver supply has diminished during the past several years and shippers should be prepared to pay higher freight rates to reflect fleets' higher compensation levels to retain adequate driver supply.
"I see it as inevitable," Klemp told LM. "This is a market that is short of drivers right now. Drivers don't seem to be available in any (region) in good numbers. We have lost a significant amount of drivers to retirement. We had an old driver work force in 2000. Roughly a-third of that driver fleet has reached retirement age."

MILLERSBURG -- Wooster coach Craig Martin had one word to describe his team's poor performance in the 58-37 loss to the Knights in the Dungeon at West Holmes.
"Execution," the coach said. "We did not execute. We talked about it before the game. We have got to execute better on the floor.
"We had a heart-to-heart after that game and the players re-dedicated themselves to working to execute," Martin added. "We know we're a better basketball team than we've shown in the first four games."
Wooster's record four games into the season -- one win, three losses.
"We've got to learn to execute better. That's the bottom line: execution," Martin said. "Give West Holmes some credit. They're a quality basketball team. Coach Lindeman's done a good job with them. His kids play hard, and they execute."
So well, in fact, the Knights are now 4-0 overall and 3-0 in the Ohio Cardinal Conference.
And they did it by forcing Wooster into mistakes and capitalizing on them in return.
"A lot of it starts with how we pressure out on the ball," West Holmes coach Jim Lindeman said. "We try to force teams to run their offense further out than they want to and get them on their heels. Fortunately, we were able to get some good ball pressure that forced some turnovers, and we were able to leak out.
"We're pretty good when we can get out and run," Lindeman continued. "The first half was more of a transition game. In the second half, we got some looks inside, which is good for us going forward."
The teams traded buckets to start the game, but West Holmes quickly began to force the issue defensively.
Gabe Snyder scored inside to give the Knights a 6-4 lead midway through the first period, but over the next four minutes, West Holmes opened up a 17-4 lead, closing the quarter on an 11-0 run.
Brady Arnold scored on a short jumper. A steal and layup by Keaton Leppla made it 10-4. Arnold swished a 3-pointer, a steal and a Brock Macaulay stickback made it 15-4. Ryan Neer finished off the frame with another put-back bucket as time expired.
Neer turned it up in the second quarter, scoring inside three more times as the Knights took a 26-13 lead into the locker room at the break. The 6-foot-4 senior paced the West Holmes offensive with 14 points.
Arnold was next with 11 points, to go along with seven assists and eight steals.
"Eleven, seven and eight; if he does that, it's going to be good things for us," Lindeman said. "They really tried hard to take him out of the game scoring. Aside from maybe one shot, he didn't force the issue. He let the game come to him and got his points when he could. And he got everybody involved. That's the sign of a good player."
Wooster rallied early in the third quarter, trimming the Knights' lead to nine (26-17) on baskets by James Preston and Grant Stokes.
But after Snyder split a pair of free throws, West Holmes got the offensive rebound and Macaulay scored.
Wooster misfired on a 3-pointer, and the Knights scored again on a layup by Michael DeWitt.
Two more buckets by Neer and the hosts held a 39-19 lead. A three-point play by Marquise Blair cut it to 39-22 after three.
"It was so tenuous. We had a chance to score and cut it to seven. But we missed a shot in the lane and they went down and scored. It's such a fine line," Martin said.
A Preston dunk highlighted the fourth quarter for the visitors, as the Knights continued their fine start to the season.
"In the second half, we showed signs of life in the half court, getting the ball into our post," Lindeman said. "They've got really good size, so I was happy with how we looked to make our entry passes.
"It shows that our guys are willing to do whatever it takes for the good of the team," Lindeman added. "(Michael DeWitt) didn't play a whole lot in the second half based on the matchups we had out there, but he was the loudest cheerleader on the bench. As long as we have that attitude, we'll do good things."
Martin hopes to put this game behind him and start fresh next week.
"We're 1-3 with two games next week," Martin said. "Our goal is to get to .500 and then go from there.
"According to our stats, we had 20 turnovers and four assists," Martin continued. "That's a 5-to-1 ratio. We can't have a 5-to-1 turnover-to-assist ratio. We had 16 turnovers in the first half. That's 32 points we left out there. When you give up 26 points in a half, that's not bad defense. But when you have 16 turnovers, that's 32-plus points. If we score on half of those, we're up three at half. It's all about taking care of the basketball and executing."
Adam O'Brien was the lone Wooster player in double figures with 10. Marquise Blair and Von Blair added seven apiece, and Stokes six.

Jurong Island is an artificial island located to the southwest of the main island of Singapore, off Jurong Industrial Estate. It was formed from the amalgamation of seven offshore islands, the islands of Pulau Ayer Chawan, Pulau Ayer Merbau, Pulau Merlimau, Pulau Pesek, Pulau Pesek Kechil (also called Terumbu Pesek), Pulau Sakra (which was a previous merger of Pulau Sakra and Pulau Bakau), Pulau Seraya, Pulau Meskol, Pulau Mesemut Laut, Pulau Mesemut Darat and Anak Pulau. This was done through land reclamation. Land reclamation on Jurong Island was completed on September 24, 2009, 20 years earlier than scheduled. Pulau Buaya was joined to Jurong Island via reclamation in 2010. Jurong Island forms a land area of about Template:Convert from an initial area of less than Template:Convert, and is the largest of Singapore's outlying islands.
The outlying islands of Pulau Ayer Chawan, Pulau Ayer Merbau, Pulau Merlimau and Pulau Seraya were used to house fishing communities comprising small villages up to the 1960s. The villagers lived in Malay-style wooden stilt houses on the palm-fringed islands. Between late-1960s and early-1970s, three big oil companies planned to house their facilities on Pulau Ayer Chawan for Esso, Pulau Merlimau for Singapore Refinery Company and Pulau Pesek for Mobil Oil.
The Government of Singapore then took the opportunity to grow the petrochemical industry as a choice that would significantly produce economic growth. This was proven by the success of starting off the petroleum industries in the 1970s.
By the 1980s, after a decade of rapid industrialisation, industrial land was growing scarce on Singapore mainland. The idea of joining the southern islands off Jurong to form one colossal island to create more industrial land was therefore conceived.
In 1991, JTC Corporation (formerly Jurong Town Corporation) was appointed the agent of the Jurong Island project. JTC planned and coordinated with various government agencies in providing the necessary infrastructure and services to the island.
Physical land reclamation began in 1995, and Jurong Island was officially opened on October 14, 2000 by then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. From the 9.91 km² land area of the original seven islets, as of completion of the land reclamation on September 25, 2009,[1] Jurong Island currently has a total land area of 30 km². PentaOcean Construction was the major contractor and reclamation was completed 20 years ahead of schedule.
Petrochemical industriesEdit
Today, Jurong Island is home to many companies such as LANXESS, BASF, BP, Celanese, Evonik, ExxonMobil, DuPont, Mitsui Chemicals, Chevron Oronite, Shell, Singapore Petroleum Company and Sumitomo Chemical.
Clusters of gigantic cylindrical tanks amid a maze of pipelines now dot the island; investment has totalled S$31 billion in 2010.[2] Resident companies produce a vast range of items, from petroleum products to polycarbonate resins used in CDs, DVDs and LCD TV panels, and super absorbent polymers that go into diapers and sanitary napkins.
ExxonMobil, which has invested S$4 billion in a refinery and cracker plant, makes industrial and automotive lubricants including a product used in Formula One racing cars. DuPont invested S$1 billion, and manufactures Zytel nylon resin, a versatile engineering plastic used in automobile components, appliances, wire insulation, sporting gear and home furnishings.
Output for the chemicals cluster—which cover oil and gas, petrochemicals and specialty chemicals—totaled S$66.5 billion in 2005, an increase of 31 per cent from 2004. This accounted for almost 32 per cent of production in Singapore's manufacturing sector. Powered by the cluster, Singapore is currently one of the world's top three oil refining centres despite not having a single drop of crude deposits.
Jurong Island's refineries process Template:Convert of crude oil per day,Template:Citation needed turning it into petrol, kerosene and jet fuel sold locally and abroad. Cracker plants break down the molecules of other oil-and gas-related substances such as naphtha into additives that give unique characteristics to certain products, from printer inks to plastic mouldings, semiconductors and aircraft materials.
Apart from imported crude, natural gas from Indonesia's West Natuna field arrives at Jurong Island via a 640 km undersea pipeline. Some of it is refined to provide a source of cleaner and cheaper fuel, while the rest is sent to crackers that make other petrochemical products. The country's first refilling station for compressed natural gas (CNG) opened on Jurong Island in 2002. As most of the 2500+ cars running on CNG in Singapore are not allowed to enter the island because the drivers do not have the necessary security pass, four more CNG stations opened on the main island until September 2009.
Jurong Island was gazetted as a Protected Place since September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks (mostly in October 2001).[3] Access control is contracted to a private security company, while the Singapore Army helps to protect the island.[4]
Access to the island is limited to staff and visitors,[5] and they are issued with security passes. Other restrictions include that one must declare any photographic equipment that they are bringing to the island, due to security reasons. Without permission from the Island Security it is not allowed to take photographs or videos on Jurong Island. Anyone getting caught taking pictures or videos will be handed over to the police. Once found guilty, the Jurong Island pass will be confiscated and the offender would not be able to enter Jurong Island.
Jurong Island and the southwestern waters was to be used for Exercise Northstar 8 from 21 November to 25 November 2011. However, the Exercise Northstar 8 was only carried out on 25 November 2011 after 4pm at Jurong Island, up to 7.30pm respectively.
Jurong Island has two fire stations, and an amenity centre known as Oasis@Sakra that houses a food court, a medical clinic and a free of charge multi storey carpark. The island also houses the Pulau Seraya Power Station, Singapore's first offshore power station, which was built in phases on the former Pulau Seraya since 1986.
The island has a network of pipelines that allows for seamless integration among companies. For example, Japan's Teijin can receive piped-in chlorine produced by CIFE company and bisphenol A from Mitsui Chemicals to make polycarbonates. Red pipes carry water for firefighting and green pipes, sea water for cooling. Huge silver pipes carry steam and small silver pipes bring product lines.
There are two major cargo jetties on Jurong Island, namely Sakra Jetty and Banyan Jetty. Sakra Jetty is managed and controlled by ExxonMobil.
Jurong Island is linked to the main island by a 2.3 km causeway known as the Jurong Island Highway, opened in March 1999. Several public bus services run between Jurong Island and the mainland.
To raise its competitive edge, Singapore is moving to produce higher-value-added specialty products,Template:Citation needed including chemicals that would go into animal vaccines, animal feeds, consumer care items such as cosmetics and industrial enzymes that will support the biomedical sector. As part of this effort to move up the value chain, the Institute of Chemical and Engineering Science (an A*STAR research institute) has been set up on Jurong Island.
Construction work on Jurong Rock Caverns (JRC), Singapore's first underground rock caverns for storage of crude oil, condensates, naphtha and gas-oil, started in February 2007. JTC Corporation has been appointed by the Singapore government to undertake the construction of JRC.
Located beneath the seabed of Banyan Basin, off Jurong Island, JRC will be completed in phases beginning from 2013. In the first phase, the caverns will have a storage capacity of 1.47 million cubic metres.[6] Phase 2, which can potentially add another 1.32 million cubic metres, is being explored.
There are also plans to build a second causeway to link the Western end of Jurong Island Highway and Gul Road in Jurong Industrial Estate on mainland Singapore but it was shelved also. The investment project for second causeway was shifted to build HDB flats at Western Water Catchment in the later decade.

Leigh has spent the last 15 years working in visual effects studios around the globe, initially in a generalist role but soon after deciding to focus more specifically on surfacing. Following her humble beginnings in her native country of South Africa where she cut her teeth for several years on a variety of commercial and documentary VFX work, she moved on to the States where she racked up credits doing texturing, lookdev and lighting on a number of features, including the highly stylised noir comic film Sin City and the acclaimed Spanish fantasy drama, The Pan's Labyrinth.
Eventually moving to the United Kingdom in 2006, Leigh has spent almost a decade working for some of Soho's top VFX vendors on numerous features, from the creature-heavy fantasy The Golden Compass, to the animated feature The Tale of Despereaux, to the final two installations in the Harry Potter saga. More recent work includes texture painting on the acclaimed space drama, Gravity, as well as The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Maleficent and the fourth series of Game Of Thrones. She led MPC's texture team on Ridley Scott's sword and sandals epic Exodus, and contributed to the upcoming Terminator: Genysis. And yet with nigh on 40 feature films to her name, she's somehow found the time to write numerous magazine articles, and contribute to a number of books on the subject of texture painting. This will also be her second CGWorkshop.
When she's not stuck behind a flickering screen re-arranging pixels in Mari and Photoshop, she's a professional photographer in the world of heavy metal, a hardcore ale and rum enthusiast and avid gamer.

|Kiiyiapaq is the Inupiaq name for mask. It is a decorative hanging mask made from beaver fur, wolverine fur & moose hide. It was made in the early 1990's, by Edith Olanna. The first step in the process of making it would be to cut out a piece of the moose hide, dampen and placed on a facial form. Before it dries out completely add the hair which is the wolverine fur, then add the ruff which is from the beaver. After it is done drying, add the eyelashes. The last step is to attach the sinew to hang the mask.

A Radar-Assisted Collision
|Electronics Q&A
I'm frustrated about getting to know my new Furuno NavNet, even just trying to plot a route, and wonder if there's a better tutorial than the manuals. K.K., via PMY Electronics forum
I don't know of any specific NavNet training aids beyond the manuals, which I agree are rather dry and daunting. But let me suggest a plan. First—and this applies to most all the integrated marine electronics out there—you have to acknowledge that you've got a very powerful system, but it's not pure magic, and, in fact, its power to do so much necessitates a complex interface. It can help you navigate easily and safely, but only in relation to the effort you apply mastering it.
So find some quiet time to study your NavNet system. Put aside the Installation Manual, the Quick Setup Guide, even the Quick Operations Card, which seems best suited for reminding yourself about functions already somewhat familiar. Look through the Operator's Manual table of contents to get an idea of how it's organized, but don't panic; you'll never need to know everything listed on those seven pages. Then go to chapter 1, Operational Overview, for an explanation of the key layout and several important basics like how to select the display mode. You'll want a single, all-chart screen for creating a route. Then skip to the Routes section of the Plotter Operation chapter to learn how to lay a route right on the chart with the trackball and enter key. If you approach NavNet on a task-by-task basis like this, I think the system's magic, even the manual's thoroughness, will reveal themselves.
It's noteworthy that some manufacturers are experimenting with supplementary learning aids designed with a how-to—instead of a conventional function-by-function—point of view. For instance, Raymarine's C-Series machines include an 18-page Operating Guide with topics like "How do I build a route by placing waypoints on screen?" The half page explains the task with simple button-by-button graphics. It's also useful for both owners and shoppers to know that companies like Furuno and Raymarine make all their manuals available for free downloading on their Web sites.

Background on Multi-Family Recycling in Calgary
Convenient, on-site multi-family recycling is coming.
On November 4, 2014, Council approved an amendment to the Waste & Recycling Bylaw that will make it mandatory for multi-family complexes to offer on-site recycling of certain materials by February 1, 2016.
Previously, Waste & Recycling Services (WRS) focused efforts on reaching private recycling companies and building owners and managers to inform them of these changes and their roles. Beginning the week of February 16, 2015, WRS will run a campaign targeting multi-family residents to let them know that on-site recycling is coming and what they should expect.
All multi-family complexes will have to:
- Offer on-site recycling storage.- Make sure there are enough containers to hold all the recycling in the complex between collection days.- Accept at least the same material as blue carts (i.e. paper and cardboard, glass bottles and jars, food cans and foil and plastic bags and containers).- Arrange to have the material removed and recycled.
Please note that because there are so many different types of multi-family buildings, flexibility and choice are core principles of the bylaw. Each complex can decide how and where to store recycling, and whether to hire a company to recycle or do it themselves. The City will not provide collection, but will support this initiative through education, communication and by monitoring compliance.
Find more information for building residents, building owners and managers and private recyclers at www.calgary.ca/multifamilyrecycling. Interested building owners or managers should contact 311 to start the application process.
Commonly Asked Questions
Q: What is considered multi-family housing?
A: Waste & Recycling Services defines multi-family complexes as five or more units that share a common parcel of land or share a private roadway that provides access to the homes. This includes high-rise and low-rise apartments, townhouses, condos, mobile home parks, and housing co-operatives.
Q: How can multi-family complexes provide on-site recycling storage to their tenants?
A: Under the Waste & Recycling Bylaw amendment, multi-family complexes are required to provide on-site recycling storage and ensure that the material is taken to be recycled by either:- Hiring a private company to collect and dispose of their recycling or - Taking their material to Community Recycling Depots (CRDs) if:a) They coordinate the collection (i.e. have a person in charge of collecting the material), and b) The building owner, a resident or a maintenance person takes the material to the CRD.
Please note that recycling companies are not allowed to use the CRDs because the Community Recycling Depots are not intended to accept large volumes, this solution works best for small buildings. Larger complexes will probably find it more efficient to hire a recycler or take their material directly to a recycling processor.
Q: How will the bylaw be enfoced?
A: Enforcement will be complaint-based. After February 1, 2016, residents who are concerned that there is no recycling in their building should contact 311. The City takes an education-first approach. If a complaint is received, a representative from Waste & Recycling Services will contact the building owner to discuss potential solutions. Animal & Bylaw Services would only be involved if the building continues to remain non-compliant after that.
Q: Will anyone be exempt?
A: No. This bylaw will apply to all multi-family complexes.
Q: Will the community recycling depots still be there?
A: The City will continue to review the efficiencies and effectiveness of the community recycling depots. We are keeping a number of the community recycling depots in place for people who have too much recycling to fit in their blue carts as well as multi-family residents.Since January 1, 2015, commercial recycling haulers have been prohibited from using the community recycling depots. This is to ensure collection and processing opportunities are fair and equitable.
Q: Will The City still collect multi-family garbage?
A: Yes. If The City collects a building's garbage now, that will continue unless the building wants to switch to a private collector.
Q: Will multi-family complexes be able to get blue carts?
A: In most cases, no. However, condos that receive black cart service and can have recycling collected like a single-family home may be eligible for blue carts. They would still have the option of hiring a private recycler instead.
Q: What if there is a lack of space to store recycling?
A: The bylaw was deliberately written to be flexible about how and where recycling can be stored. Reasonable storage solutions should be possible for all buildings.Here are just a few ways recycling could be stored in different building types:
- If there is more than one garbage container now, switch one out for recycling container(s).- If there is only one garbage container but a little extra space in your garbage area, set up some smaller bins to collect recyclables.- Recycling storage doesn't have to be centralized. It is okay to have several smaller storage areas, such as on each floor of the building, in each building in the complex, or even in each unit.- If two neighbouring buildings agree to work together, one could use their garbage enclosure for recyclables and the other for waste. All residents would need to be able to easily access both areas.
Private recyclers have repeatedly told The City that they are happy to work with buildings to find solutions that comply with the bylaw. The City also has education resources at Waste & Recycling Services that can support building owners or managers.
Q: What if we can't afford or would prefer not to hire a private recycler?
A: Building owners and managers have the option to take material directly to a recycling processor or to a Community Recycling Depot themselves at no charge. It is important that this effort be coordinated (instead of having each resident do it for themselves), as it is the owner's responsibility to make sure that the containers are provided for storage and that material is collected for recycling.
Q: Why isn't multi-family recycling funded through taxes?
A: Recycling collection in Calgary is not tax-supported for either single or multi-family homes. Blue Cart recycling is funded entirely though user fees. Recycling programs set up by multi-family complexes will be funded by the fees paid to service providers. The City of Calgary will not set or collect multi-family recycling fees, and taxes will not be raised to pay for the program.
Q: What if our landlord or condo board isn't complying?
A: The multi-family recycling provisions will be effective February 1, 2016. After that date, enforcement will be complaint-driven, and concerned residents should contact 311. The first step will be to work with the building in question to help overcome any barriers to recycling.
Q: How do we find a private recycler?
A: Green Calgary is maintaining a list of local private recyclers. It is the building owner or manager's responsibility to interview prospective service providers, manage the contract and address any performance-related concerns. The Multi-family Recycling Guide for Building Owners and Managers includes suggested interview questions that can be used during the hiring process.
