Our belief in stakeholder communication
The TEL Group strives to maintain good relationships and build trust with stakeholders who have, or are likely to have, an impact on its business. To help our stakeholders properly understand the value of the TEL Group, we ensure transparency and accountability of our operations by disclosing information in a fair, impartial and timely manner. Communication with stakeholders is imperative for us to understand their expectations for the future of the Group, and can help us minimize our social and environmental risks and identify areas needing improvement. Such stakeholder communications shape our business with further opportunities, advantages and competitiveness.
Use of stakeholder communication
Business cannot be undertaken without stakeholders and society. We identify important stakeholders who are essential to the TEL Group's business. For these stakeholders, we clarify our roles and responsibilities related to the corporate functions they face in daily business. While helping such stakeholders fully understand the progress of our business activities and future plans, we make use of the feedback obtained from the communication for our business at an early stage.

Consumer group sues FDA over Aricept safety
Wed., Sept. 5, 2012, 10:55 a.m.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A consumer group pressing the Food and Drug Administration to remove the highest dose of an Alzheimer's disease drug from the market is suing the agency for "foot-dragging."
Public Citizen says the FDA's own reviewers found that high-dose Aricept (AR'ih-sept) doesn't work better than two low doses but has more-dangerous, potentially deadly side effects.
Public Citizen filed a petition in 2011 with the FDA. The group urged the agency to halt sales of the 23-milligram dose of Aricept and put safety warnings about the high-dose risks on two low doses available under the Aricept brand and as generic pills.
The FDA has yet to act. A spokeswoman says FDA doesn't comment on litigation. Last December, the agency wrote to Public Citizen, saying it was doing a review of the case.

Electronics company Siemens reports that its Simetal Sivac-X 4K furnace switchgear has reliably switched a rated current of more than 4 500 A with a single circuit breaker during a successful type test according to IEC 62271.
Global testing services provider, the CESI group, performed the type test in Mannheim and Berlin, in Germany.
"This is significantly more than conven- tional furnace switchgears achieve. "The switchgear has a rated voltage of 40.5 kV and can supply electric arc furnaces (EAFs) with up to 300 MVA of power," the company states.
The lightning impulse voltage is 200 kV, which makes the switchgear suitable for the North American market.
The switchgear has achieved the fault arc qualification of Internal Arc Classified A FLR of 40 kA/1s and also meets the highest demands for personnel safety.
The core component is the 3AH4 medium-voltage circuit breaker.
The Simetal Sivac-X 4K switchgear is designed to meet the extreme requirements of high-power EAFs and ensures a reliable power supply, as well as safe plant operation. Long maintenance intervals of up to 10 000 switching cycles increase availability and reduce operating costs.
The 3AH4 range of frequency circuit breakers are designed for use under extreme environmental conditions. These include high temperatures, high air pollution, unstable operating currents, frequent short-circuit releases and operating cycles with more than 100 switching cycles a day.
For this reason, the circuit breakers have a rugged, insulated support design and are equipped with freely accessible vacuum interrupters. This enables the interrupters to be replaced easily at the end of their life span of about 30 000 switching cycles.
The circuit breaker is specifically designed so that air can flow freely along the heat sinks. This enables the switching device to operate at up to 4 500 A in ambient temperatures of up to 40 °C without forced cooling.
The drive for the 3AH4 circuit breaker range is designed for up to 120 000 switching cycles over its entire life cycle.
About 400 furnace switchgear systems of the Simetal Sivac-X range are in use worldwide. Siemens offers switchgear for operating voltages ranging from 15 kV to 40.5 kV and rated currents from 1 250 A to meet the specific requirements of steelmakers.
According to the specific circumstances in the electric steel plant, the switchgear can be designed as an open unit with a permanently installed furnace circuit breaker, as a two-field system in a metal enclosure with a permanently installed circuit breaker, or as a single-field solution in a metal enclosure with a withdrawable furnace circuit breaker mounted on a traveling carriage.
The range of products also includes the customised protection circuit, which is essential for the operational safety of the vacuum circuit breakers and connected components.
The arcing-fault tested design, the metal encapsulation, interlocks, the capacitive voltage testing system and the IP4X degree of protection ensure maximum safety for personnel.
The first 3AH4 furnace circuit breakers, with rated currents of 3 150 A and 4 000 A respectively, are in use in steelworks in Germany and Turkey. The first US-bound 4 000 A switchgear is currently being delivered.

In the world of dog show judging, there's no greater honor than to be asked to pick Best in Show at Westminster, the Super Bowl for pampered pooches, held every February in New York City and televised annually since 1948.
Friday, the show announced that next year's top judge will be Michael Dougherty of Escondido.
Dougherty, 58, is a San Diego native who has been involved with dogs for most of his life, first as a handler and breeder, then as a judge. His day job is running a public relations and marketing agency.
In his 26 years as a judge, he's worked Westminster a few times, but never Best in Show. In a U-T San Diego interview several years ago, he called Westminster "nirvana for dog show people. It is the Super Bowl, the Miss America Pageant and the Kentucky Derby all rolled into one."
Westminster annually draws the top dogs in the nation, some 2,500 canines in about 185 breeds and varieties. Next year will be the 137th contest. It's scheduled for Feb. 11-12 at Madison Square Garden, which usually sells out. Millions more watch on TV.
Other judges will narrow the field to seven finalists, and it will be up to Dougherty to pick the best of the best, relying on a written "standard of excellence" for each breed that covers every aspect of appearance.
"When you find one that hits all or most of the marks," Dougherty once said, "your heart flutters."

Mets didn't approve Beltran's surgery
Club wanted time to consider options with its medical staff
By Marty Noble / MLB.com
The club had requested that Beltran not undergo arthroscopic surgery recommended by his personal doctor until it had time to consider options with its medical staff. But the problematic right knee of its center fielder was cleaned out Wednesday morning without the club's approval or knowledge.
By late Thursday, Beltran and the players union responded to inquiries about the scenario and contradicted the Mets' claim.
"I am totally surprised by the reaction to my recent knee surgery," Beltran said in his e-mail statement. "I have done nothing but follow the directions of my doctors. Any accusations that I ignored or defied the team's wishes are simply false.
"On Tuesday, Dr. [Richard] Steadman consulted with the Mets' [medical director Dr. David Altchek] about my knee. Dr. Altchek agreed with Dr. Steadman's diagnosis that I needed surgery, and said he would relay his approval to Mets management.
"I also spoke to [general manager] Omar Minaya about the surgery on Tuesday. He did not ask me to wait, or to get another doctor's opinion. He just wished me well. No one from the team raised any issue until Wednesday, after I was already in surgery. I do not know what else I could have done."
The e-mailed statement from the Major League Baseball Players Association said: "This matter was recently brought to our attention. Based on the facts as we currently understand them, the Mets have no basis to assert that Carlos Beltran violated his contract."
Earlier in the day, the Mets took the uncustomary -- for them -- step of explaining in some detail the developments that preceded the surgery during a conference call with reporters Thursday. And while they gave no indication of what subsequent steps they may take, they did make mention of "legal ramifications" and said they had sent a letter to Boras "reserving our rights."
Mets assistant general manager John Ricco indicated during a conference call that the club had been unaware that Beltran had undergone surgery and said several times that the club wasn't necessarily opposed to the operation. Rather, Ricco said, the club was "not happy about the process" and "more upset [with] the way the process played out."
"We thought we had cooperation from their side," Ricco said. "And to find out afterward that ... the surgery occurred, that's where we're most upset."
Ricco said the club had told Boras "very directly we don't want [Beltran] to have surgery until" the club had an opportunity to "digest" the information it had been given.
Boras could not be reached for comment on Thursday. And Ricco said, as far as he knew, neither the agent nor Beltran had explained to the club why the surgery had been performed.
The Associated Press reported that Beltran had not obtained written consent from the Mets to undergo the surgery and that Boras said the guarantee language in Beltran's contract requires advance written permission only for elective surgery.
"This was necessary surgery, necessary surgery to work," Boras told The AP.
The Mets could claim the surgery was elective.
In their statement Wednesday, the Mets identified Dr. Richard Steadman, who performed the surgery, as Beltran's personal physician and noted that the player had "elected" to have the surgery. Ricco declined Thursday to characterize the surgery as "elective" or "necessary."
The AP reported that Boras said Steadman, who performed the surgery, had spoken with Altchek on Monday and Tuesday after Beltran had been examined. It said Steadman obtained Altchek's consent for the surgery and that Altchek isn't authorized to give consent because he is not a club official.
"Dr. Steadman has represented to us that he spoke with the Mets' physician, and he received consent to go forward with the plan and the surgery," Boras said. "Dr. Steadman has told us that his office contacted the Mets' trainer and obtained the appropriate insurance forms and received approval for payment to go ahead with the surgery."
"We told the agent for the player that we wanted to have the ability to discuss the diagnosis and possibly have a third option because ... of the nature of this injury," Ricco said. "We wanted to have the opportunity to digest the information, the diagnosis, and unfortunately, we were never afforded the opportunity to do that."
The club announced late Wednesday that Beltran had undergone the procedure that had been recommended by Steadman. The prognosis is that Beltran will be able to resume baseball activities in early April, after Opening Day. Ricco declined to estimate when Beltran might be ready to play. But May 1 seems to be a best-case scenario.
Ricco said Beltran had the club's permission to be examined by Steadman, a knee specialist in Denver. Steadman had provided a second opinion on the knee June 30. Ricco expressed no dissatisfaction with Steadman or Beltran and expressed hope that the surgery "will alleviate the symptoms that have prevented him from playing."
Ricco noted the surgery had eliminated some inflammation, removed some cartilage and trimmed off some bone spurs. He also said Beltran is not considered a candidate for microsurgery.
Ricco explained that Beltran had been pain free through November, but that pain developed when the player "ramped up" for Spring Training conditioning. Altchek was notified, and Beltran's knee was examined via MRI on Dec. 10. Beltran was urged to ease off on his workouts.

European Countries See Increased Horsemeat Demands
- May 31, 2013
- Topics:
Despite the fact that European consumers in several countries were shocked to discover horsemeat in some "beef products" earlier this year, butchers, exotic meat suppliers, and restaurants have since seen an increased demand for horsemeat in some areas.
"We're running at about a 100% increase in demand for horsemeat today compared to before the scandal," said Paul Webb, spokesperson for ExoticMeats.co.uk, an online distributer of horsemeat in the United Kingdom. "It's steadied off a bit since the scandal first broke out (when demand was even higher), but there's still a lot of interest in the meat."
New English horsemeat buyers are attracted to a variety of cuts, he added, from steaks to burgers to sausages.
Restaurants and pubs are also starting to order horsemeat from their website, Webb said. And it's not just London that's giving it a try. Eateries across the country are serving up horse to adventuresome Brits and finding it a very successful business.
"That's a market we never even would have touched before," Webb said. "But when they serve it on their menus they sell out every time."
French businesses also experienced a surge in sales as consumers have been sampling the highly publicized meat. Eddy Mathere, a horsemeat butcher in Bray sur Seine on the outskirts of Paris, said that the scandal brought a lot of new faces into his shop.
"We had a lot of curious people just wanting to try it out after hearing so much about it on television," he said. "But for us, it didn't last very long. Paris butchers benefited from the publicity more than we did. For us, things are already pretty much back to normal."
Jocelyne Lamire, owner of a horsemeat butchery in Paris's residential middle-class 15th district, said her business is also leveling out to the way it was before.
"At first we had a lot of people—especially older generations remembering how they used to enjoy horsemeat—coming back for it," she said. "And we had customers in their 40s wanting to try it out for their families. I think they liked it, but they're back to their old routines again. That's just how trends are."
Even so, horsemeat trader Norbert Baubigny from Chammes, just south of Normandy—the "bluegrass" region of France—is still finding business better than ever. With a 15-20% increase in sales since the outbreak of the scandal, Baubigny is looking for bigger storage facilities for his goods, according to a local business news source.

Little Silver (N.J.) Red Bank Regional defensive end Garrett Sickels is one of the fastest-rising prospects in the Class of 2013 and the offers continue pouring in.
Sickels, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound defensive end, is sure to be ranked among the top Garden State prospects next year with early offers from Rutgers, Florida and Georgia already in.
He's on the road and checking out some schools before his season starts so when next year rolls around he isn't heading into the process blind.
Article Continues Below
"I have a trip to Florida tomorrow. I'm going there tomorrow for the first time," Sickels said on Sunday evening.
"Then on Tuesday I'm visiting Central Florida and then August 1, 2 and 3 I'm going back to Tennessee because the coaches are going to be there."
Sickels hasn't received verbal offers from UCF and Tennessee but it's probably a good bet that they will be coming in soon.
"I might give a few other schools some calls," he added.
Rutgers was the first school to offer the in-state prospect. Florida and Georgia followed the Scarlet Knights and are trying to make an early impression.

As Catholic teachers, we are proud of the role we play in preparing students to be active members of a prosperous and caring society. Our publicly funded education system is among the best in the world, with impressive student achievement and sincere efforts to improve equity and inclusivity. However, some students are still not being adequately supported, and more work can be done to implement the tools and practices that have been shown to create welcoming, productive learning environments.
We believe that by giving our schools the resources they need, we can remove barriers to learning and make our education system the best in the world. Here we outline a few of the key education initiatives that we believe deserve more attention.
Parents should be able to provide for their families and give their children the best possible start in life. This is why we advocate for affordable, accessible, publicly funded early childhood education and care (ECEC).
Evidence from around the world shows that children who have access to high quality ECEC are better able to develop the cognitive and non-cognitive abilities that will help them at school and throughout their lives. Benefits exist for all children, but are particularly pronounced for children from low-income families. Furthermore, affordable child care enables parents to work or attend school; they can take on more hours, accept a new job, or learn a new skill. Not only does this reduce poverty, it also generates economic growth and tax revenues.
Few topics in public policy enjoy more broad-based support than the need for investments in ECEC. Even many fiscal conservatives agree that the benefits outweigh the costs. Governments must act urgently to expand the availability of ECEC, and Ontario's Catholic teachers are proud to add our voices to the call.
For the most part, parents, teachers, early childhood educators (ECEs), and principals agree that this program is better preparing children socially and academically, leading to better outcomes later in life.
The program is most effective when it is delivered as designed - a teacher and an ECE in the classroom working together with four- and five-year-olds in a play-based learning environment. Research has shown that one of the main reasons students are benefiting from the program is that staff teams are united around the mission to support these young children and families. ECEs bring specialized knowledge about early childhood development, while certified teachers bring high levels of skills and training related to pedagogy and the delivery of curriculum.
Large class sizes, and Kindergarten – Grade 1 split classes, are not true to the original design of the program; they diminish the program's integrity, and jeopardize outcomes for students.
We must keep the program true to its original promise. Government and school boards need to create the conditions for teachers and ECEs to provide the best possible learning environment for every student in every class.
As we learn more about individual learning styles and the various challenges faced by our students, we are constantly expanding the range of accommodations and supports we provide. But to attend to the educational, social, and behavioural aspects of each student's development, all while dealing with expanded accountability requirements, teachers need the time and space afforded by reasonable class sizes.
Smaller class sizes enable us to adapt our teaching styles, on an ongoing basis, to better suit our students' needs. We can use creative, hands-on assignments, which often is not possible when there are upwards of 30 students to be managed. We can take risks, explore complex ideas, and give students the opportunity to undertake meaningful collaborative projects. As we implement 21st century learning, with its focus on higher order thinking and creativity – skills which cannot be fostered or assessed using the desk-based methods necessary in large classes – it will become even more important that we are able to use our time and resources most effectively.
Obviously, smaller classes make for better working conditions. But this does not mean teachers are working less. In fact, experts agree that we often work more when classes are smaller, because we are able to give each student individual attention.
Ontario is realizing gains from the increases in funding for special education over the past decade. In some instances, the increase in the percentage of students with special needs who are performing at or above the provincial standard (on Grade 3 and 6 EQAO tests) has exceeded improvements of the student population as a whole.
There are, however, some issues with respect to staffing and classroom composition that are limiting our ability to serve students with special needs. With the reduction in dedicated special education teachers, classroom teachers are now responsible for much more reporting, assessment, and paperwork. These additional demands mean less specialized, skilled interventions for students. We can help provide the best possible learning environment for students with special education needs by establishing clear benchmarks for the caseloads of special education teachers, and ensuring that schools follow the lowest class size limits set out in the Education Act.
Almost 80 per cent of school boards spend more on special education than they are allotted by the government, due to a funding formula that does not accurately reflect the number of students with special education needs in respective schools. As boards continue to manage their ever-tightening budgets, special education programs and staff are being eliminated to save money, as opposed to being expanded to address need.
Children and adolescents are more likely to experience mental health or addiction disorders than any other age group. In Ontario, 15 to 20 per cent of children and youth have a mental health need, but they are less likely than adults to receive adequate care.
Undiagnosed or untreated mental health issues are a significant impediment to student engagement and achievement. By providing mental health supports in schools, where children and youth spend much of their time, we can reduce stigma, help students with mental health issues feel connected to their communities, and deliver more responsive services.
Teachers want to offer the best opportunity for students with mental health issues to succeed; however, we are not in a position to provide specialized services and supports. Schools need professional staff with specialized knowledge and skills who can work with students to address their mental health issues, which will undoubtedly improve their well-being and achievement.

They couldn't get enough mulligatawny. The soup party wasn't for another day, but the appetites of the guests for saying the mouthful of mulligatawny couldn't be satiated.
The "Seinfeld" episode on Kramer's favorite soup by the Soup Nazi obviously had a lot to do with it, but curiosities and appetites were piqued.
Here was everyone's chance to try the exotic mulligatawny.
What is it? Where's it from?
Truth be told, they didn't really want to know that it's an Indian soup with curry paste. Those with the biggest appetite for saying mul-li-ga-tawny aren't adventurous eaters and wouldn't touch it if they knew what was in it.
But even these professed blandies lined up for a bowlful when a double batch of soup emerged from the kitchen. They finally got a taste of mulligatawny-and they liked it!
Soup is universal. Spice it up, tone it down, keep it simple or load it with ingredients. The results are the same: Warm or cold, it's comfort in a cup.
It's delicious and nutritious whether slurped from a cup or savored with a spoon. You could say soup is giving - and forgiving. Throw in anything. Thicken it in so many ways: cornstarch, puréed cooked beans, cooked mashed potatoes, 2 tablespoons of almonds or cashews soaked in hot water and puréed, barley, a flour slurry, with potato starch or semolina flour.
The other wonderful thing about soup is that it swings both ways.
All of these soups can be made with vegetable broth - with meat added after the soup is done. So the newly minted vegetarian at one end of the house and the lifelong meat eater at the other end can both be happy without stressing the cook.
The 13-bean soup is a perfect example. The beans are cooked in water, and then the stock is added to the soup trinity - the cooked onion, carrot and celery.
Divide the soup in half and the trinity in half and go with a ham stock and chunks of ham in one version, and a vegetable stock in the other. Perfect.
Mighty Mulligatawny
Serves: 6
• Olive oil
• 8 1/2 ounces quality ground beef
• 1 red onion, peeled
• 2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely sliced
• 1 red pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
• A 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
•1 or 2 chiles, deseeded and chopped
• A small bunch of fresh cilantro
• 1 heaped tablespoon Patak's Madras curry paste
• 1 tablespoon tomato purée
• Sea salt and ground pepper
•1 heaped tablespoon HP Sauce
• 5 cups organic beef stock
• 1/2 a butternut squash (roughly 12 ounces)
• A couple of sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves picked
• A couple of pinches of garam masala
• 1 cup basmati rice
• Plain yogurt, to serve
Put a large pan on a high heat and add a splash of olive oil and the ground beef.
Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up the beef, until it starts to turn golden and caramelize. Stir in the onion, carrot, garlic, red pepper, ginger and most of the chiles, and add a splash more oil, if needed. Cut the top leafy section off the cilantro and put aside in a cup of cold water for later. Finely chop the stalks and add to the pan. Cook and stir for around 10 minutes on a medium heat, or until the veggies have softened.
Stir in the curry paste, tomato purée, a good pinch of salt and pepper and the HP Sauce. After a few more minutes, when it smells fantastic, pour in the stock. Leave to blip away with the lid on over a medium heat for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cut the butternut squash into 1/2-inch chunks, getting rid of any seeds and gnarly bits (there's no need to peel it). Put a smaller pan on a high heat. Add a lug of olive oil and the squash. Stir in the thyme leaves and the garam masala. Pop a lid on the pan and cook for around 10 minutes on a medium heat, stirring every few minutes, until softened and golden. Add a cup of rice to the pan with 2 cups of water and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Replace the lid and cook for around 8 minutes on a medium heat, then turn the heat off and leave to steam for 8 minutes with the lid on.
Fluff up the rice and tip it into the soup. Have a taste, and season if needed. Gently mix together, then divide among your soup bowls with a good dollop of plain yogurt. Scatter over the cilantro leaves and add a sprinkling of fresh chile, if you like.

Roasted Carrot Soup
Serves: 4
• 6 to 8 large carrots (about 1 3/4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt
• 6 cups vegetable stock, or as needed
• A 1-inch-long piece fresh ginger, peeled
• 1 fresh thyme sprig, plus chopped thyme for garnish
• 1/2 large sweet onion, chopped
• 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
• Freshly ground black pepper
Set an oven rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source and turn on the broiler. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the carrots with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Broil the carrots until they brown and soften, turning them over with a spatula every 5 minutes or so; this should take 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring the stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the ginger and sprig of thyme, turn down the heat, and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Just before the carrots are done, put the onion in a large saucepan with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and brown over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and cook for a minute, then add the carrots.
Remove the ginger and thyme from the stock and add the stock to the onions and carrots. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the carrots are very soft. Use an immersion or a standard blender to purée the soup until smooth. If the soup seems too thick, add more stock or water and reheat gently. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve garnished with chopped thyme.

Boskos Minestrone
Serves: 15; yields approximately 1 1/2 gallons of soup
• 1/2 cup oil (canola or a non-extra-virgin olive oil)
• 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 1 pound yellow onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 1 large carrot, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 1/2 bunch celery, leaves removed, stalks cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 2 leeks, white part only, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 1/2 head green cabbage, chopped into 1/2-inch dice
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 3/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
• 3/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 1/2 cups crushed tomatoes
• 1/8 cup beef base
• 3 quarts chicken stock or water
• 1 cup dry (or 2 cups cooked) cannellini beans
• 1 pound red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 3/4 pound zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 1/4 bunch (approximately 1 1/2 cups) fresh Swiss chard or spinach
• 1/2 pound shell noodles, uncooked
Start with a large stockpot over medium-high heat; add oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic. Once the garlic starts to brown slightly, add the diced onions, diced carrots, diced celery, sliced leeks, and diced cabbage; cook for about 5 minutes, still over medium-high heat. Add the salt, white pepper, pepper flakes, paprika, oregano and basil during this first saute process - adding dry seasonings early helps create layers of flavors in a dish. Be sure all the vegetables become translucent before adding the water or stock. Add tomatoes, beef base, and water or stock to the pot with the vegetables; bring entire mixture to a simmer.
Meanwhile, if using dry cannellini beans: Cook the cannellini beans in boiling, salted water with a bay leaf until beans are soft (approximately 20 minutes). Once beans are done (or if starting with cooked beans), set half aside. Puree the other half. Add the whole, cooked beans and the pureed beans to the soup.
When the soup comes to a simmer, add the potatoes. Let the soup continue to boil for 5 minutes, then add the zucchini and chard to the pot. Cook mixture for another 5 minutes.
Add the shell noodles and cook for a final 5minutes. Adjust the salt and pepper to your liking.

Surprisingly, the registers are *not* copyright free.
You cannot copyright facts, so the information in the registers being
facts cannot be copyrighted. It is the *format* which is copyright
and any transcription made of the registers has to have permission
beforehand: although, to be fair, this is rarely refused.
Copyright in the transcription then belongs to the person who made it.
If the transcription is to be published, on a website book or olther
format, most record offices will agree subject to certain criteria.
The record office I have dealt with insists the information is made
available freely and free of charge. It must carry a note that the
transcription is by permission of the <county> record office and that
since it is a transcription and may contain errors, the originals
should be consulted. They also ask for a copy of the transcription.
If any images of the registers are to be used, additional permission
needs to be obtain and notated appropriately. If the transcription
and/or images are to be used in a book that will be sold, additional
permission (and often a fee) has to be negotiated.
There isn't usually a problem so long as permission is sought in the
first place.

The Edmonton Oilers did a lot of good things in their loss to the Vancouver Canucks Tuesday.
Had Roberto Luongo not been in such fine form, the Oilers could have, at the very least, pushed the game into overtime.
Heading into their encounter against the Phoenix Coyotes Friday, the Oilers are looking to build on the positives, even though their opponents usually take a more negative approach to winning games.
"We're not going to change much with our game plan," said Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins. "We're going to continue to work on the important parts of our game, and for us right now, the important part is gaining the zone and hanging on to the zone time.
"It's the same mentality. We're trying to slowly ramp up our system to play to be more aggressive and that will be the plan against Phoenix."
Unlike the Canucks, who like to possess the puck and take the play to their opponents, the Coyotes prefer to sit back and wait teams out, capitalizing on mistakes.
It's been a very effective system for Coyotes head coach Dave Tippett, who seems to always have his team in the playoff conversation regardless of his roster.
The Coyotes are currently ninth in the Western Conference standings, four points back of the final playoff spot.
"Phoenix is a team that seems to annually check very well," Eakins said. "They're a team that kind of sits back in weeds a lot and waits for you to make a mistake, and then they jump on it. Then they'll go back and sit in the weeds and wait for the next one to come along.
"We have to be guarded with that. But the thing I struggle with, is that I don't want us to play so guarded that we're just coming up and dumping pucks in and playing a sit-back game. We're not built very well to play that game. We still want to stay fairly aggressive and try to limit our mistakes."
Against the Canucks, the Oilers made a couple of mistakes, which ended up in the back of their net. Otherwise, they matched up well with Vancouver, without Henrik Sedin for the first time in 10 years and minus their head coach, the suspended John Tortorella.
"I think we have to play the same way we did against Vancouver," said Oilers centre Sam Gagner. "I thought in the first period, our emotions needed to get a little more into it. I thought after Jonesy's (Ryan Jones) fight, we were going and we were making sure we were getting in on the forecheck and creating turnovers and because of that, we had a lot of chances."
The Oilers outshot the Canucks 29-27, which included a couple of goal posts.
They fell behind 2-0 to Vancouver and were forced to battle back, which they nearly did, outshooting the Canucks 12-5 in the third period.
Falling behind to Phoenix, however, would present a different challenge altogether.
"I think Phoenix is one of those teams where it's harder to just play your game against them," Gagner. "You have to stay patient and try to create as many opportunities as you can by forcing them to turn pucks over."
The Oilers have been trying to play a patient game in their own right, with varying degrees of success. The Coyotes can be a frustrating team to play, which should test the Oilers resolve.
"You have to be comfortable in those games," Eakins said. "The good teams are so comfortable in games like that. I always like to talk about Boston, I love watching them play and I know their coach very well. And there are about the most comfortable team I've seen in close games.
"Unfortunately we haven't had that luxury to feel it, but in the last couple of games, it has been close and you have to gain confidence as a group down there and have to get your nerves settled."
The Oilers have been on the wrong side of a lot of one-goal games this year, two of which, have come against the Coyotes. They go into the contest Friday currently on a five-game losing skid.
"I enjoy playing these types of teams, because I think there are great lessons that we can take through the game," Eakins.
"Especially if we can come out on top, it registers even more.

On Aug 21, 2014, shares of General Dynamics Corp. (GD - Free Report) soared to a new 52-week high of $124.25, finally ending the trading session a little lower at $123.68. This defense prime with a market cap of around $41.6 billion has seen its shares rise roughly 29.4% so far this year, outperforming the 7.8% gain of the S&P 500 over the same period.
What's Driving General Dynamics Up?
General Dynamics is one of the largest U.S. defense contractors whose revenue exposure is spread over a broad portfolio of products and services that help it to keep the overall growth momentum steady. The company is one of the two contractors equipped to build nuclear-powered submarines in the U.S.
Since the start of 2014, there have been a number of share price gainers among the pure-play defense majors, with General Dynamics leading the pack, driven by consistent contract wins and a stable second-quarter 2014 performance.
The Pentagon's #3 contractor posted a 5.46% average positive surprise over the last four quarters. Yet, its revenues fell 4.6% in the second quarter, missing the Street expectation. Nonetheless, this defense behemoth recently increased its overall earnings outlook for the year to $7.40 to $7.45 per share from its earlier forecast of $7.05 to $7.10 per share. The company's cost-cutting initiatives spurred profitability even as defense spending by the U.S. government remained low.
The maker of Gulfstream jets, tanks as well as U.S. Navy ships expects to repurchase shares in the second half of 2014. The company has already spent approximately $2.7 billion on share buybacks so far this year.
Total backlog at the end of second-quarter 2014 was $71.1 billion, up 27% from the preceding quarter. The company's total potential contract value, the sum of all backlog components, increased 29% to $99.5 billion in the second quarter 2014 – this marks the highest for the company in the past four years.
Although the cloud of sequestration still hovers over the defense sector, hurting many programs, this will have a minimal impact on General Dynamics' future prospects. The escalating military tension in the Asia-Pacific region has provoked the U.S. Department of Defense to prioritize the company's prime shipbuilding programs. Earlier this year, the U.S. Navy signed a $17.6 billion multi-year contract with General Dynamics to build 10 Virginia-class submarines.
General Dynamics is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock. Other companies in the defense space worth considering include Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC - Free Report) , Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT - Free Report) and Ducommun Inc. (DCO - Free Report) . Ducommun carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), while Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin hold the same rank as General Dynamics.

"I think of it as a kind of practical idealism. Something that combines the need that so many people have for continued income and health benefits beyond what retirement age was in the past, and the spirit of service. What previous generations might have carried out through volunteerism, more and more people are looking for through jobs that combine income and meaning, and use their experience in ways that have a real social impact, that matter. That are not only personally meaningful, but that mean something beyond themselves."
-- Marc Freedman, founder of Civic Ventures and author of "Encore"
Although many people crave the break from daily work they receive upon retirement, in some cases the experience of an "endless vacation" eventually causes individuals to feel purposeless. They often feel lonely and depressed, drifting with too much spare time in which to think about their physical ailments. With the erosion of savings caused by the economic downturn starting in 2008, many seniors seeking extra income will now be moving back into the work force. Marc Freedman has been tracking this trend, including the opportunity for seasoned workers with many skills to find new satisfaction from employment in areas -- like education, health care and environment -- where they give something back to society.

Review for EcoLogic Development Fund, Cambridge, MA, USA
My experience with EcoLogic has been nothing but positive. While interning with them, I learned more in depth about their holistic conservation model which targets not only a specific community problem, but instead works with community members to identify any and all existing environmental and human rights issues. It is not often that you come across an organization which puts the necessary time, energy, and resources into helping a community address multiple issues at the same time, valuing localized problem-solving, personal interaction with community members, and following through with a project allowing time to create a comprehensive solution. I greatly appreciated the existence of this organization and being able to play a part in their work. Thus this spring my college's Forest Justice club, of which I am the president and founder, held a large benefit event and raised over $1,000 which we chose to donate to EcoLogic's Agrforestry Project in Guatemala. During the event one of EcoLogic's staff members was able to speak about the organization as well as the project. After the event I spoke with many people present who particularly stated how impressed they were with EcoLogic's presentation and how much they appreciated being able to connect directly with the organization they were donating to.

There have been 196 requests by Lancashire parents concerned about sex offenders since new laws were introduced, the Evening Post can reveal.
Lancashire Constabulary introduced the child sex offender disclosure scheme - informally known as Sarah's Law - in April 2011.
Of the applications, there have been six disclosures made by the force to relatives worried about someone who has close contact with a child.
Disclosures are only made if a person has a prior conviction for child related offences.
The convictions which have resulted in disclosure have been sexual assault and indecent image related offences.
Det Supt Ian Critchley, head of public protection at Lancashire police, said: "Lancashire Constabulary has always welcomed this legislation and would encourage anybody who has concerns around the safeguarding and risk presented to a child to make contact with us, where their concerns relate to an individual who has access to children.
"We consider each application on its own merit and ensure that whatever information is held about an individual or person who presents a risk is disclosed if it best protects a child.
"We have made disclosures since the inception of the legislation as we believe together with parents, carers and partner organisations we can then take the necessary action to protect children in our communities."
In 2011 there were 60 applications, in 2012 there were 70, and in 2013, 66.
The laws were introduced across England and Wales after a campaign by Sara Payne, mother of murdered schoolgirl Sarah.
Sarah was killed by sex offender Roy Whiting in 2000.

i was wondering, what is the use of IOS bootmii? It only creates backup but u cant restore it if u cant access it(when bricked). Also it replaces the dvdx thing right?
in the "New 3.1-4.1 Softmod for ANY Wii" do i need to install it?
is it runable from preloader if ur wii is bricked?
You are right it is not always possible to restore from your Nand if its IOS.
Its probably a good idea to create a nand backup, as low grade problems can be restored, and maybe in the future someone will come up with a whizzo idea for it.
When you use the hackmii installer it gives you three items to load,

Get your community cycling
This section provides more information about ways to get your community, school or workplace cycling. For tools and resources to help plan and promote your events read more here.
Bike Wise Month
February is Bike Wise Month. During this time and beyond there are many community, school and workplace events such as Big Bike Tune Ups, Go By Bike Day, Bike Wise Explorer clue trail and Be Bright events.
To help promote your Bike Wise month event, use these posters and flyers.
Go By Bike Day
Go By Bike Day is a one-day event held in February. Every year, thousands of Kiwis ditch their usual mode of transport - whether it's cars, trains or buses - and instead cycle to work, university or school.
In 2017, Go By Bike Day will be held on Wednesday 8 February.
Use the posters and flyers to help promote your Go By Bike Day event.
Be Bright
The Be Bright campaign is designed to improve cyclists' safety during low-light and poor visibility conditions. Bike Wise and the NZ Police promote the use of front and rear lights and high visibility clothing in order to reduce risks to cyclists.
These Be Bright resources - including a 'how to' guide and editable templates, such as posters, media release and cyclist survey - will help you run a Be Bright campaign.
Bike Wise Explorer
Bike Wise Explorer is designed to encourage new and infrequent cyclists, including locals and visitors, to explore your area via cycle lanes, trails and paths. Participants can enjoy the Explorer clue trail in their own time and at their own pace.
Check out the Bike Wise Explorer 'how to' guide and templates.
Big Bike Tune Up
The Big Bike Tune Up (BBTU) event helps people get their helmets and bikes checked for safety and roadworthiness and, in some cases, provides minor repairs.
If you are keen to run a BBTU, or want to know how to do some basic bike maintenance, read the Bike Wise BBTU resources.

Problems transferring pictures from SD card to computer
Hi all,
I am getting a corrupt file message whenever I try downloading my pictures from my SanDisk Extreme III SD card (that I use with my Nikon D80) using the built-in card reader on my HP 9262 desktop (i do not hook up my camera to the computer. I take out the SD card and insert it into SD card reader directly). Same thing happens with my other sd cards (SanDisk brand as well). Never had this problem with my previous XP-based machine. I checked my cards with my old machine, they work fine. I'm using Windows autostart program (picture viewer) to download, not any other proprietary software.
Basically, the files start transferring with no problem. The computer recognizes the card, even calls out which camera the card belongs to, and file transfer begins. But every so often (about every 15-30 pictures) I get a message saying that file so-and-so is corrupt. I get the option of trying to transfer again, cancel or do not transfer any corrupt files. I hit try again and the file transfers fine with no corruption at all. So the files do end up transferring in the end, but I have to baby-sit the process, which is not acceptable when I am trying to transfer hundreds of images.
System details:
Brand new HP 9262 (Intel i5-750, 6 gb RAM) with built-in card reader.
Windows 7 Home Premium
SanDisk SD cards (Extreme III and Ultra II). These are standard SD cards, not SDHC
Nikon D80 and Panasonic Lumix cameras (Extreme III card is formatted for the D80, and the Ultra II card for the Lumix)
Any advice/solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Windos 7
Sd read problem with windows 7 autoplay
I am also having file corrupt errors on the SD card import function.
It doesn't matter in what app I use the import function.
It fails with a corrupt file error.
However, I can use Windows Explorer, select all, drag and drop to the target directory.
Works Great!
Something is wrong with the Win 7 import function for USB SD Cards.
Unless all of the new machines are shipped with outdated USB port drivers, I think the problem is a bug in 7.
I have a new Studio from Dell with the same problem.
It might be helpful to the forums users to try and duplicate the error before replying. And state how many test machines were used to try and duplicate the problem.
If your a new user or a novice, Windows 7 sucks! Experience users who have been struggling with Windows since its inception can usually figure things out from years of experience. Almost without thinking about the problem. New users and novice folks cannot. The excellent reviews appearing in various periodicals are written by experienced users. They generaly will not have the problems a new user will have. I work with new users, on a novice level, migrating from XP. To them windows7 is a nightmare, if they are using 7 for general media and documentation work.

Hey all,
I haven't tried again yet. Still need to snap a few more photos before trying the download again. I'll see if it happens again then. If it does, I'll try the suggestion from howielynn (thanks!).
I didn't see any driver updates from HP for my computer, so I can't go that route.
I do have the sneaking suspicion that its Windows 7 related. I did hear about similar issues with Windows Vista too. This may be a bug that Microsoft never heard about or couldn't address this time around. If it is an OS bug, hopefully Service Pack 1 (whenever it arrives) will fix it. I've had a couple of random crashes occur too, with no decipherable cause, so there are definitely issues (my machine is still mostly a blank slate. I have not added much in the way of software until I'm sure the system is stable. Only have Office and Firefox on for now). Problems are to be expected with a new OS, regardless of all the 'expert' fanfare. It'll take time for everything to be worked out. I just hope its sooner rather than later.

Slimmer Melky looking for past productivity
Slimmer Melky looking for past productivity
Cabrera, who signed with Kansas City in December, spent the offseason months working out with a trainer in Miami and lost 17 pounds. He's changed his diet and now hits the gym daily.
"I'm healthier than I've ever been. I've lost some weight and I'm working hard," Cabrera, 26, said. "I know I can be the player I was when I started my career."
Last season with Atlanta, Cabrera had a lower batting average (.255), had fewer RBIs (42) and fewer home runs (four) than in the previous season while with the Yankees, the club that originally signed him out of the Dominican Republic in 2001.
"Last year was a bad year for me, but what can you do? It's in the past now," Cabrera said. "I know there is still a lot I can do in my career. Things like last year happen in a career."
Cabrera has experienced success. He hit 36 home runs and racked up 228 RBIs with 250 runs scored in his five seasons starting with the Yankees in 2005. He was eventually traded to the Braves as part of a package for Javier Vazquez before the start of the 2010 season.
The Royals have depth in the outfield. In addition to Cabrera, the list of outfielders includes Jeff Francoeur, Alex Gordon, Mitch Maier, Lorenzo Cain, Gregor Blanco and Jarrod Dyson.
"He and Francoeur have a step lead on everybody else," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Those guys are veteran guys and have all had success in the big leagues. And probably Alex Gordon, those three guys, probably have a bit of an edge on all of that."
