I'm making granny squares and they're flaring at the corner so they turn out kind of wavy. I've tried a few different patterns and most have them have turned out wavy, albeit to different degrees.
My question: Will the wavy-ness/ flaring go away with blocking?
How much wavy-ness can be corrected with blocking?
Also, the yarn is acryllic, if that makes a difference.
Thanks for the help!

During a reiki treatment, the practitioner places their hands in a number of positions above or on the client's body, sending healing universal life energy wherever it needs to go in the body. Reiki helps to break up energy blockages within the body, allowing healing energy to flow again freely and stimulates the body's natural ability to heal itself on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.

On May 18th 2017, Massimo Roj, Founder and Global CEO of Progetto CMR, Massimo Bagnasco, Partner and Managing Director, and Liu Chunyang, Associate and Design Dept. Vice President, representing Progetto CMR, visited Beijing Jiaotong University. Both parties made further efforts in discussing their collaboration and signed a crucial strategic cooperation agreement.
Dean Xia Haishan, representing Beijing Jiaotong University School of Architecture and Design, welcomed Progetto CMR delegation; firstly he revoked the history of the cooperation between the two parties and explained in details the fundamental condition of Beijing Jiaotong University and School of Architecture and Design, secondly he mentioned all the results achieved in recent years for what concerns academic arrangements, scientific research, collaboration between school and company and global development. In the course of the meeting Arch. Massimo Roj and Arch. Massimo Bagnasco introduced company history, know-how, design philosophy and cooperation background with relevant enterprises and with government.
After the conference, Arch. Massimo Roj and Dean Xia Haishan signed the "Progetto CMR (Beijing) Architectural Design Consultants Co. Ltd. and Beijing Jiaotong University's School of Architecture and Design Strategic Partnership Agreement". They will develop cooperation in various fields, including academic exchange, scientific research, joint events\seminars, urban planning and architectural design practice. In this collaboration Progetto CMR will provide the students with internship opportunities, great lectures and will build an excellent cooperation platform for scientific research and education. In the meantime, this international cooperation will play an active role for future exchanges.
Later on, Arch. Massimo Roj and Arch. Massimo Bagnasco delivered a brilliant lecture entitled "Less Ego, More Eco", through simple language they were able to transmit a profound message. They explained Progetto CMR's 10 design principles and our view about architecture design home and abroad; moreover, they shared with the students the story and the concept design behind some characteristic projects of Progetto CMR. During the whole lecture, the two architects stressed that architecture should rise from "people's needs", "design on human scale" is an everlasting keystone that Progetto CMR has been following for the last 20 years.
At the end of the lecture, the two architects declared that they are looking forward to the collaboration between the two parties in the future. As Massimo Roj stated during the lecture, he hopes that the Italian cultural background of Progetto CMR can inspire the future Chinese architects, but he also has faith that these young architects can bring even more inspiration to Progetto CMR.

Marie Windsor
Jump to
Though she spent much of her early career mired in low-budget and mediocre B-movies, Marie Windsor's memorable portrayal of a manipulative femme fatale in "Force of Evil" led to steady film and TV work. After appearing in the classic noir film, which was praised for its extensive use of on-location photography and a well-written script, Windsor, a former beauty pageant queen and telephone operator, traded campy roles in films like the science-fiction fantasy "Cat-Women of the Moon" for more serious fare. She landed a major role as a scheming racetrack window teller in the Stanley Kubrick heist film "The Killing," about a veteran criminal's attempt to pull off one last score, and also appeared in such melodramas as the Chicago-set "City that Never Sleeps" and the Oscar-nominated "The Narrow Margin." By the early '60s, Windsor had transitioned from film to television, landing recurring roles on the sketch comedy series "The Red Skelton Hour" and the long-running western "Rawhide." Windsor, who married former Olympic basketball player Jack Hupp in 1954, kept a steady TV presence through the '70s and '80s on popular series like "Charlie's Angels," about three beautiful, intelligentl private investigators, and "Lou Grant," a "Mary Tyler Moore Show" spin-off centered on Ed Asner's gruff but sympathetic newspaper editor. After health problems slowed down her acting career in the '90s, Windsor took up painting and sculpting.

Strategies for Helping Students Motivate Themselves
Editor's Note: This piece was adapted from Building a Community of Self-Motivated Learners: Strategies to Help Students Thrive in School and Beyond by Larry Ferlazzo, available March 21, 2015 from Routledge.
My previous post reviewed research on extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, and described the four qualities that have been identified as critical to helping students motivate themselves: autonomy, competence, relatedness, and relevance.
In this post, I'll discuss practical classroom strategies to reinforce each of these four qualities.
Providing students with freedom of choice is one strategy for promoting learner autonomy. Educators commonly view this idea of choice through the lens of organizational and procedural choice. Organizational choice, for example, might mean students having a voice in seating assignments or members of their small learning groups. Procedural choice could include a choice from a list of homework assignments and what form a final project might take -- a book, poster, or skit.
Some researchers, however, believe that a third option, cognitive choice, is a more effective way to promote longer-lasting student autonomy. This kind of cognitive autonomy support, which is also related to the idea of ensuring relevance, could include:
- Problem-based learning, where small groups need to determine their own solutions to teacher-suggested and/or student-solicited issues -- ways to organize school lunchtime more effectively, what it would take to have a human colony on Mars, strategies to get more healthy food choices available in the neighborhood, etc.
- Students developing their own ideas for homework assignments related to what is being studied in class
- Students publicly sharing their different thinking processes behind solving the same problem or a similar one
- Teachers using thinking routines like one developed by Project Zero at Harvard and consisting of a simple formula: the teacher regularly asking, "What is going on here?" and, after a student response, continuing with, "What do you see that makes you say so?"
Feedback, done well, is ranked by education researcher John Hattie as number 10 out of 150 influences on student achievement.
As Carol Dweck has found, praising intelligence makes people less willing to risk "their newly-minted genius status," while praising effort encourages the idea that we primarily learn through our hard work: "Ben, it's impressive that you wrote two drafts of that essay instead of one, and had your friend review it, too. How do you feel it turned out, and what made you want to put the extra work into it?"
But how do you handle providing critical feedback to students when it's necessary? Since extensive research shows that a ratio of positive-to-negative feedback of between 3-1 and 5-1 is necessary for healthy learning to occur, teachers might consider a strategy called plussing that is used by Pixar animation studios with great success. The New York Times interviewed author Peter Sims about the concept:
The point, he said, is to "build and improve on ideas without using judgmental language." . . . An animator working on Toy Story 3 shares her rough sketches and ideas with the director. "Instead of criticizing the sketch or saying 'no,' the director will build on the starting point by saying something like, 'I like Woody's eyes, and what if his eyes rolled left?" Using words like "and" or "what if" rather than "but" is a way to offer suggestions and allow creative juices to flow without fear, Mr. Sims said.
"And" and "what if" could easily become often-used words in an educator's vocabulary!
A high-quality relationship with a teacher whom they respect is a key element of helping students develop intrinsic motivation. What are some actions that teachers can take to strengthen these relationships?
Here are four simple suggestions adapted from Robert Marzano's ideas:
1. Take a genuine interest in your students.
Learn their interests, hopes, and dreams. Ask them about what is happening in their lives. In other words, lead with your ears and not your mouth. Don't, however, just make it a one-way street -- share some of your own stories, too.
2. Act friendly in other ways.
Smile, joke, and sometimes make a light, supportive touch on a student's shoulder.
3. Be flexible, and keep our eyes on the learning goal prize.
One of my students had never written an essay in his school career. He was intent on maintaining that record during an assignment of writing a persuasive essay about what students thought was the worst natural disaster. Because I knew two of his passions were football and video games, I told him that as long as he used the writing techniques we'd studied, he could write an essay on why his favorite football team was better than its rival or on why he particularly liked one video game. He ended up writing an essay on both topics.
4. Don't give up on students.
Be positive (as much as humanly possible) and encourage a growth mindset.
Have students write about how they see what they are learning as relevant to their lives. Researchers had students write one paragraph after a lesson sharing how they thought what they had learned would be useful to their lives. Writing 1-8 of these during a semester led to positive learning gains, especially for those students who had previously been "low performers."
It is not uncommon for teachers to explicitly make those kinds of real-life connections. However, research has also found that this kind of teacher-centered approach can actually be de-motivating to some students with low skills. A student who is having a very difficult time understanding math or does just not find it interesting, for example, can feel threatened by hearing regularly from a teacher how important math is to his or her future. Instead of becoming more engaged in class, he or she may experience more negative feelings. These same researchers write:
[A] more effective approach would be to encourage students to generate their own connections and discover for themselves the relevance of course material to their lives. This method gives students the opportunity to make connections to topics and areas of greatest interest to their lives.
What other strategies do you use in the classroom to reinforce any of these four critical elements of intrinsic motivation?

This is a wonderful post! "And" and "what if" are great suggestions. "Act friendly" seems like a no brainer, but surprisingly enough, I have noticed very few teachers ever adding "sense of humor" to their lists of what-makes-a-great- teacher. Funny that :-) A light touch can work wonders. Hello, btw. I'm in Sonoma!
Thanks for your ideas. Love the videos. My students will eat them up.
This is a lovely post on how to be an ideal teacher to deal with various types of students. I too had many instances where I had students who would not hand in their homework. Once I started awarding them with few candies and chocolates, the ones who were not submitting too started to submit. But I have some students who are demotivated due to their diverse backgrounds and at times peer pressure or parents discouragement. Could you suggest some ways of handling this cases? I have tried counselling the students, speaking to the peers and the parents, but nothing has worked till now.
Could you say a little more about how their diverse background is impacting their motivation? Have you tried connecting with them using relevant work they'd be interested in? Social media, movies? popular culture perhaps? Some students need the work to be very relevant to their everyday life for them to see the connection and the benefit of engaging and learning.
I am doing my doctoral dissertation using self-determination theory as a theoretical framework. Autonomy, competence, and relatedness are all vital for tipping the motivational scale towards more intrinsic forms. Another way to ensure autonomy is met is by using language that is supportive: "I invite you to...", "I encourage you to..." versus, "You should...." etc.
Great adage to use for student motivation.
Realizing what de-motivates
definitely leads to what can motivate a student.
Thank you for this article.
I enjoyed this article, it encapsulates my thinking at the moment. I've jut had a discussion with a colleague around autonomy and that most teachers miss understanding what that looks like. The cognitive choice is the missing element that is often overlooked.
Thanks for this, I'll be referring to this again and again.
Great article! I like that you've distinguished between organizational/ procedural choice and cognitive choice - the latter certainly gives the learner more autonomy and control over the entire learning process. I agree that modelling "thinking routines" is important and a powerful way to teach learners how one can become aware of their thinking in relation to a problem or situation. Metacognition is essential to the SRL process.
The idea that we need to praise effort, not intelligence is so very important to the SRL process. For one to be intrinsically motivated to learn, he must believe that his effort will directly affect the outcome. The ratio for positive feedback being between 3:1 and 5:1 has such an impact on our unmotivated, "difficult" students.
I'm going to try "plussing" that you've outlined - using words like "and" and "what if" to guide students in their learning. I like that it is supportive feedback, but does not take away their autonomy.
Thanks for the practical and inspiring article!

Regarding motivation. I see so much of external praise and other admonitions. I feel this is nice but remains in the line with external teaching better techniques of learning. I feel there are more complex variables at work we can begin using as tools to help many students continually improve thinking, learning, motivation, and have better mental health from within. This involves learning to see our average stress as many maintained layers of unresolved mental work along with may perhaps, faulty and hurtful weights and values, which may act as magnets for other maintained layers of unresolved mental work over time. I feel all of us fall on a continuum of many essential and "non-essential layers of maintained mental work that take up real mental energy leaving less for newer mental work. This shows us just how our individual environments and not genetics and effort hurts thinking, learning, motivation/reflection/think time - mental reward received for mental work expended, and hurts our mental health. Remember, our present definition of average sees only some present situation, problem , situation, and even old mental and physical work. We need to change this definition to only unresolved mental conflicts and yes, also situations, "which go on top and even higher for including factoring for higher average stress brought into a situation.
We need to also remove the old teaching of succeeding by ability and "effort", which not only allows funneling of higher average stress into improper pace and intensity for newer mental work but also creates much higher and worse (work ethic) mental intensities when approaching newer mental work. We need to talk much more on the correct dynamics of approaching newer mental work more correctly or more slowly at first and allowing our mental frames to become more complex, thus allowing for greater pace, intensity and "intrinsic reward/motivation in those areas over the long-term. http://learningtheory.homestead.com
2. All great points that follow what adult learners need in an educational environment. I have been trying to use the Thinking Routines in my courses more in order to provoke more critical thinking. The reflection that a simple "why?" can pose on a student can help them break out of the routine of saying "because that was what you (or the text) said." When student go beyond listening to the teachers and start being the one talking they are pushed to see their strengths and weakness in their comprehension.

Author PJ Sharon is talking about the Beach Book Blast on the Writer's Guide to E-Publishing website.
From her post:
"That (first Beach Book Blast) promotion was so successful, exciting, and inspirational that we decided to make BBB a permanent gig. We wanted to find ways to help each other succeed, and create a fun place for readers to get to meet us up close and personal. The site is still under construction, but we've had some terrific ideas for ways to make that happen, including weekly author interviews, a Book Club, periodic multi-author book launches, and loads of giveaways and contests. How cool is that?"

Search Terms of Endearment: 2013
Today I combed through the statistics on my website from the past year. Among other things, I saw which blog post got the most hits in 2012. I saw which period of 2012 had the most traffic (not surprisingly, mid-September to mid-October, during the CBRM election). And I saw what percentage of visitors to my website arrived via Facebook (50%), via Google (40%), and via Twitter (7%). (The remainder arrived via links on other websites.)
But the most fun was seeing the actual keywords people searched on Google, before ending up on my website. Of course, most of the search terms made perfect sense, and I'm glad they found me!
"mike targett"
"cape breton + web design"
"cbrm district 5 candidates"
Other search terms included the names of colleagues and clients — names that appear in my portfolio. The names of friends and acquaintances popped up as well — names that appear in comments, for example, and in mentions throughout my website. (I wonder if they were just Googling themselves. Not that I'm judging!)
Some searches can be explained easily enough, based on the keywords, but I wonder if the context was right? Did the person find what they were really looking for when they searched:
"how david beats goliath – what does it mean"
"kids flying kites on a grassy hill"
"sean casey cartoons"
"fuzzy's fries"
"galerie uli schaarschmidt"
"cbrm property tax revenue"
Some search terms don't show up all together in any one particular blog post. But the keywords are nonetheless scattered across multiple blog posts. If so, there's a chance Google could have found them all together on an archive page. Archives are where every blog post on a particular theme (for example, "internet", or "climate change", or "coal mining") is collected and indexed on a separate page. Not terribly helpful for some searches, and it might not have answered your question. (I've since fixed it for search.) But anyway, still good questions!
"day care to send child occasionally in sydney ns"
(How did they make out, I wonder?)
"top 20 employers in cape breton creative digital media"
(20 is a lot, but here's a start.)
"where can i find a speech on youth out-migration"
(Here's one. Here's another.)
Some searches made me simultaneously despair and awed at the power of the Internet:
"save the world from climate change"
(Search = 'climate change')
And some searches made me wish I could find out who was behind them:
"cape breton collective identity"
Now there's something to blog about.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Homeopathic medicine can be very dangerous and is something that should not be done with yeast infections. Dr. Andrew Weil also thinks that homeopathic treatments should only be done in very rare circumstances. On his website he states Iris Bell, M.D., Ph.D.; who, at the time of this writing, is the director of research at the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine; recommends seldomly trying homeopathy. Dr. Bell is also a trained homeopathic practitioner. Only when faced with an acute health problem that is likely self-limiting do these doctors suggest you try homeopathy.
Yeast infections are clearly not a good thing to experiment with homeopathic medications on. This is because they are not very acute (they don't suddenly attack the body like say a heart attack does) as they take considerable time to grow and cause infection. Also yeast infections are not self-limiting; i.e., they won't spontaneously go away on their own. A yeast infection can spread throughout the body and release toxins and even jeopardize the lives of immunocompromised individuals.
There is a lot of talk on the internet; and, most will say anything to make a buck. Dr. Weil suggests that you consider not listening to homeopathic advertisers for any serious condition you may have.
Counterintuitive Procedures
AZO yeast infection pills do contain Candida albicans; the most pathogenic of all the Candida genus yeasts. If you take this product or insert it into your vagina, you are in fact adding to your problem. You may have Candida glabrata inside your body; and, if you add albicans you now have an even more severe, complex yeast infection. The road to curing the body of a yeast infection does not lie in adding more Candida to your body. You need to eliminate it to be healed.
If you really were healed by adding yeast to your body, why is it that your are not currently healing with yeast growing and multiplying freely? Most yeast infection (about 80%) are due to Candida albicans. Chances are you have more than enough of this fungus in you right now and putting more into yourself is just a superfluous, dangers act.
Candida Hub's Review of AZO Yeast Infection Pills
Candida Hub is here to inform you of natural treatments, but per Dr. Weil's advice, it is not wise to use AZO yeast infection pills at all as they contain Candida albicans. If you didn't currently have a yeast infection, you could very well develop one if you took this product. That is why, on our sex and yeast infection section, we recommend that people NOT have sex with someone who is infected with yeast. The reason is that you could infect your partner with yeast.
Even small amounts of yeast are dangerous. Mothers repeatedly get nipple thrush from babies who have oral thrush. Conversely, babies can develop oral thrush from a mother who have infected nipples.
Again, you have a yeast infection, and you are generating more Candida each day. You probably have no need for extra Candida! It is already there, and more is being manufactured with each passing moment. So even if you think homeopathic medicine is legitimate, you have no need for the the Candida albicans ingredient in AZO yeast pills.
Concluding, AZO Yeast Plus is dangerous and unwise to use. Stay far away from AZO as they clearly do not know how to adequately warn people of their products danger and make a claim impossible to support.
What to do Instead
Take a look around Candida Hub and develop a good understanding of natural medicine that has a proven track record. There is a lot of information and there are a ton of professional studies cited to back claims up. Trust professional scientific research and the safety and power of nature to come to your aid. Keep homeopathic medicine to the arena of self limiting conditions and do not play games with pathogenic yeast.

November 30 2012 Issue
Changes Needed to Ensure CBP's Risk-Based Cargo Screening Remains Effective, GAO Says
The Government Accountability Office has released a report calling on U.S. Customs and Border Protection to improve its efforts to ensure that the Automated Targeting System is doing the best possible job of identifying high-risk inbound cargo shipments.
The report states that although no such events have occurred to date and officials believe the likelihood is low, terror-related attacks on the supply chain could have devastating effects on U.S. security and economic well-being. It is therefore imperative that CBP use the best information and tools available to continually mitigate potential threats and address vulnerabilities. In that context Congress has directed CBP to scan 100% of U.S.-bound cargo containers prior to loading at foreign ports, but the agency has experienced difficulties in complying with that mandate due to a number of factors. Instead CBP employs a risk-based security strategy whose effectiveness depends on its ability to use the ATS, a Web-based enforcement and decision support system that compares traveler, cargo and conveyance information against intelligence and other data, to effectively identify cargo containers that may contain terrorist weapons or other contraband.
According to the report, the ATS includes a set of rules to assess the risk level for each arriving cargo shipment. This set of rules is referred to as the maritime national security weight set because each rule has a specific weighted value assigned to it. CBP classifies the risk scores from the weight set as low, medium or high risk, and although other factors come into play CBP officers at the ports are generally required to review shipment data for all medium-risk and high-risk shipments and to hold high-risk shipments for examination. As a result, keeping this weight set up to date is important for ensuring that CBP is using the most effective tools in making targeting decisions.
The problem, the GAO states, is that CBP lacks a full understanding of how effective the weight set is in identifying shipment risk. On the one hand, CBP does have performance measures that enable it to determine the accuracy of the weight set given a particular workload or examination rate. However, CBP has not established targets for these performance measures, meaning that it is not clear whether a particular change in the weight set's performance is significant enough to suggest that changes are needed. The report also points out that prior to implementing an updated version of the weight set in early 2011 CBP did not conduct an assessment to determine whether it would be more effective in identifying high-risk shipments than the previous version or other alternatives. Moreover, CBP has not conducted regular assessments of the updated weight set's effectiveness, completing only one such review and waiting 18 months to do it.
The report thus recommends that CBP (a) ensure that future updates to the weight set are based on the results of assessments that demonstrate that the chosen version of the weight set is more effective than other alternatives, including the existing version, and (b) establish targets for its performance measures and use those measures to assess the effectiveness of the weight set on a regular basis to better determine when updates are needed.
U.S., Taiwan Sign Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Supply Chain Security Programs
The U.S. and Taiwan have signed an agreement under which they will recognize each other's supply chain security programs. This is the seventh such mutual recognition arrangement the U.S. has signed, following partnerships with New Zealand, Canada, Jordan, Japan, Korea and the European Union. These agreements are designed to provide faster customs clearance for companies that comply with specified practices.
A press release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection states that under this MRA the U.S. and Taiwan have agreed to mutual standards in Taiwan's AEO program, which reportedly has more than 500 members, and C-TPAT, whose membership exceeds 10,000 companies. The arrangement also recognizes the compatibility between the two programs and acknowledges that each side will accept the security status of members of the other program.
Megaports Initiative to Deter Nuclear Smuggling Faces Uncertain Future
The Government Accountability Office is urging the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration to review the effectiveness and efficiency of a program that helps foreign seaports combat the smuggling of nuclear materials in cargo containers. The Megaports Initiative has been in operation since 2003, but proposed budget cuts have made the future of the program uncertain and NNSA is working with an interagency group to determine an appropriate future scope for the program.
The Megaports Initiative was created to deter, detect and interdict the illicit trafficking of special nuclear and other radioactive materials through foreign seaports. The Initiative funds the installation of radiation detection equipment at select seaports overseas and trains foreign personnel to use this equipment to scan shipping containers entering and leaving these seaports, regardless of destination. NNSA provides partner countries with maintenance and technical support for about three years, after which it transfers the equipment and all related responsibilities to partner countries.
NNSA had planned to establish a total of 100 Megaports by 2018, but as of August 2012 only 42 projects had been completed in 31 countries. In addition, the Obama administration's fiscal year 2013 budget proposal would reduce the Initiative's budget by about 85%, prompting NNSA plans to shift the Initiative's focus from establishing new Megaports to sustaining existing ones. As a result, NNSA has suspended ongoing negotiations for installing Megaports in 17 countries and canceled planned deployments of new equipment in five other countries.
The report makes several recommendations for improving the operation of the Megaports Initiative. For example, NNSA needs to finalize a long-term plan for ensuring the sustainability of Megaports operations after it transfers all equipment maintenance, operations and related financial responsibilities to partner countries, because without such a plan NNSA cannot be confident that the equipment will continue to be used for the purposes intended or if it will be used at all. There is also a need for more useful and reliable measures of program performance that can demonstrate whether the equipment provided to foreign seaports is effective, indicate whether countries are continuing to use that equipment or account for the volume of containers being scanned.
GAO also encouraged the NNSA to conduct periodic joint assessments with the Department of Homeland Security of the extent to which the Megaports Initiative and the Container Security Initiative, which examines high-risk shipping containers for weapons of mass destruction before they are shipped to the U.S., are effectively coordinating at the 29 foreign seaports where they are co-located. For example, in two countries GAO found that DHS personnel were using personal radiation detectors (which are not appropriate for scanning containers) to inspect containers if their radiation detection equipment is broken even though the Megaports Initiative had more suitable equipment that DHS could have used. The report states that where the joint assessments conclude that there is a need for increased coordination the two agencies should develop written policies or procedures that formally document how to achieve that objective.

U.S. is World's Largest Producer and Exporter of Remanufactured Goods, ITC Reports
The International Trade Commission released Nov. 28 a report finding that the U.S. is the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of remanufactured goods. Remanufacturing is the industrial process of restoring end-of-life goods to their original working condition, the ITC states, and is an "important and growing activity in many industrial sectors" that supports at least 180,000 U.S. jobs. This report provides an overview of the U.S. remanufactured goods industries and markets, including production and employment; estimates U.S. and global trade in remanufactured goods; and examines factors affecting trends in remanufactured goods trade.
According to an ITC press release, the report's findings include the following.
- From 2009-11 U.S. production of remanufactured goods grew by 15% to at least $43 billion. The largest U.S. remanufacturing sectors are aerospace, heavy-duty and off-road equipment, and motor vehicle parts.
- U.S. production, employment and exports are growing in many remanufacturing sectors but are still small compared with overall U.S. manufacturing activities.
- U.S. exports of remanufactured goods totaled $11.7 billion in 2011, up 50% compared with 2009. About 40% of such exports went to free trade agreement partners, including Canada and Mexico, and the European Union was an important market as well.
- Key factors affecting the competitiveness of U.S. remanufacturers in all sectors and markets are the availability and relative price of cores (the used goods to be remanufactured), transportation and labor costs, the comparative price of remanufactured goods and new goods, the availability of lower-priced new alternatives, and customer perceptions about price and quality.
- Remanufacturing and trade in remanufactured goods and related inputs in many foreign markets are limited. Foreign regulatory barriers and the lack of a common definition of remanufactured goods are a significant impediment to U.S. and global trade in these items.
- The U.S. and the EU account for the bulk of global remanufacturing activity and trade. Although Brazil, India and China are developing their own remanufacturing industries in response to growing domestic demand they tend to restrict trade in remanufactured goods and related inputs the most.
Telecom Trade Agreement Compliance Subject of Annual USTR Inquiry
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative is inviting public comments by Dec. 17 on the operation, effectiveness and implementation of and compliance with various trade agreements regarding U.S. telecommunications products and services. These agreements are the World Trade Organization's General Agreement on Trade in Services, NAFTA and the U.S. free trade agreements with Australia, Bahrain, Chile, Colombia, Korea, Morocco, Oman, Panama, Peru, Singapore and the DR-CAFTA region, and any other telecom trade agreements, such as mutual recognition agreements for conformity assessment of telecom equipment. USTR plans to conclude this review by March 31, 2013.
The purpose of this review is to determine whether any act, policy or practice of a country that has entered into an FTA or other telecom trade agreement with the U.S. is inconsistent with the terms of such agreement or otherwise denies U.S. firms, within the context of the terms of such agreements, mutually advantageous market opportunities for telecom products and services. Measures or practices of interest include the following.
- efforts by a foreign government or a telecom service provider to block services delivered over the Internet (including voice over Internet protocol services, social networking and search services)
- requirements for access to or use of networks that limit the products or services U.S. suppliers
can offer in specific foreign markets
- the imposition of excessively high licensing fees
- unreasonable wholesale roaming rates that mobile telecom service suppliers in specific foreign
markets charge U.S. suppliers that seek to supply international mobile roaming services to their U.S. customers;
- allocating access to spectrum or other scarce resources through discriminatory procedures or contingent on the purchase of locally-produced equipment
- subsidies provided to equipment manufacturers that are contingent upon exporting or local content or have caused adverse effects to domestic equipment manufacturers
- the imposition by foreign governments of unnecessary or discriminatory technical regulations or standards for telecom products or services
Foreign Regulatory Changes Could Affect Exports of Children's Products, Lamps, Appliances

Yesterday, House File 5, a bill that would outlaw abortions after 20 weeks, cleared its first hurdle in the House Government Oversight Committee when the three-person subcommittee voted to move the bill forward. The bill is likely to be debated by the entire committee next week before moving to the full house for approval.
The bill is designed to prevent a brazen late-term abortionist, Dr. LeRoy Carhart, from establishing a practice that would provide abortions after 20 weeks. Surprisingly, the bill has divided the pro-life community. Just yesterday, three Republican legislators sent out a press release saying that they oppose the bill.
Representatives Tom Shaw, Glen Massie, and Kim Pearson sent out the following statement:
"This morning House File 5 was voted out of the House Government Oversight Subcommittee. The bill is aimed at stopping abortions after 20 weeks. HF 5 does not protect innocent life from conception. This violates Article 1 of Iowa's Constitution and we do not have the authority to legislate away an inalienable right. We do not support HF 5."
Nebraska was the first state to pass fetal pain-based abortion bill last year. The Nebraska bill has prevented Dr. Carhart from performing late-term abortions in that state, which has forced him to try and set up clinic across the river in Council Bluffs. Recently, the Missouri and Oklahoma Houses of Representatives passed similar bills.
While Shaw, Massie, Pearson and The FAMiLY Leader strive for purity on the issue of abortion, some well-known and respected conservatives have voiced opposition to their tactics.
When talking about the issue on his morning radio program, WHO Radio's Jan Mickelson said, "I can't imagine people not supporting this [House File 5]. We are not talking about philosophy. If this doesn't get passed, the clock is ticking. Kids will start to die. We can stop this. It's not a question of should we stop it, it's how fast should we stop it."
Shaw, Massie, and Pearson refuse to support House File 5 because it doesn't prohibit all abortions, yet when it comes to other issues, such as taxes, they have no problem with taking incremental steps. Last month, the three voted for a 20 percent personal income tax cut despite the Republican Party of Iowa's platform, which clearly calls the elimination of the present state income tax in favor for a flat tax.
If they oppose incrementalism on social issues, then why are they supporting an incrementalism approach when it comes to fiscal issues?
Shaw, Massie, Pearson and The FAMiLY Leader's position on House File 5 isn't admirable, it's selfish.
Voting for the bill does not backhandedly endorse abortion like they claim. The bill is a necessary response to a clear and present danger. Other states have figured it out, but in Iowa, thanks to Pearson and Massie, we have wasted months fighting amongst ourselves instead of passing the bill and applying pressure on the Democrat controlled Senate.
Rep. Pearson was a supporter of Mike Huckabee in the 2008 Iowa caucuses. While campaigning for president in Iowa, Huckabee said, "I'm pro-life because I believe life begins at conception, and I believe that we should do everything possible to protect that life because as it is the centerpiece of what makes us unique as an American people. We value the life of one as if it's the life of all, and that's why we go out for the 12-year-old Boy Scout in North Carolina when he's lost; that's why we look for the 13 miners in Sago, West Virginia, when the mine explodes; that's why we go looking for the hikers in Mount Hood, because we value life, and it's what separates us from the Islamic jihadists who are out to kill us. They celebrate death. They have a culture of death. Ours is a culture of life."
I especially liked the line, "We value the life of one as if it's the life of all." That is why I, and many others support House File 5. Huckabee also often said, "I always am going to err on the side of life." We can prevent late-term abortions for taking place in Iowa if the legislature acts. Is the bill perfect? Does it outlaw all abortions? No, but it's a necessary step, and it's obnoxious an irrational to oppose it.

First Day at Chup Crocky
Phumi Samraong (3) Travel Blog› entry 32 of 54 › view all entries
We woke up the next morning around 6am. Everyone here pretty much goes to bed shortly after dark, and wakes up with the sun. We woke up and had some instant coffee for breakfast with some cookies (I dont like coffee, so just had hot water). Marc, the french guy who was also volunteering, showed us where the "bathroom" was. No, there is no bathroom, but a 5 minute walk behind the hut, through the tall grass and plants, and there was a hole dug in the ground where you could do your business.
After coffee, we all put on gloves and were handed cutting tools to hack down some tall weeds from a field in front of the school. The school that was built in Chup crocky recently, was across from our hut and a big field was in front where they were working on chopping down all the tall plants around the school.
Then we went back to the hut for breakfast #2. All the food was prepared by the women of the family we were sharing the area with. Basically a little grouping of shacks made up the "house" for this family. One hut was used for the volunteers to sleep in, one for the family we were with to sleep in, one for cooking, and one for general storage. The family consisted of a mother, 1 older daughter, 2 sons, and some other children and people who would also walk around but it was hard to tell who was part of which family since the village was so communal.
So back to breakfast #2, breakfast was ramen noodles, which was tasty. Then we found out that we just sit around most of the day now. Steve and I were shocked. We asked what do we do now, and Marc, the fr.
First we went to the watering pump again to try and wash up better. I attempted to wash my hair in a bucket. and we washed our muddy clothes from the moto ride the day before. Then we walked around the village some, but there was not much to see.
After washing up, we noticed some children playing at the school so we walked over to interact with them. They all scrambled to the desks as if ready to be taught, as soon as we walked in although it was not time for school yet. Since they were at the desks and just staring at us, Steve and I went over saying the numbers in English with them which they were good at, and tried to teach some adding.
Around 12noon we had lunch. Lunch was rice with hard-boiled eggs. After lunch, at 1pm was school. There are about 30 children in Chup crocky between the ages of 3 and 15. Only about 20-25 or so show up for english class. The class is all mixed with different ages at different abilities. Marc led the class by first going over different colors and then different english words. He would hold up the word such as Pig, and everyone repeats and he writes it on the board and all the children practice writing it on their papers. It was rather amusing to watch a french guy teach English to a bunch of Cambodian kids, since his prononciation was not much better than theirs, the children were learning to say English with a french accent, but didn't know the difference.
School only lasted for one hour though. After that the children would play in the school or go back home. Steve and I stayed to watch the children play some games where they run around. Then at 3pm, Antoine teaches a Thai lesson for half an hour to the children. Since the village is right next to the Thai border, many people use Thai as the main language in the market, so it was also important for them to know Thai.
After Thai class, from around 4pm until dinner which is around 6pm, there is not much to do. Steve and I walked around to explore the village more but there was not much more to see.
Around 6pm we had a dinner of rice with fried eggs. I was beginning to think that eggs were the only food there was other than rice, but later meals had more variety. Then tonight was theatre night, a once a week event. The "theatre" meant a small TV that was run by a generator for one night, and the whole village gathered to watch it. It started at 7pm when it was nearly dark outside. Everyone showed up to a hut down the road and watched some Thai/Cambodian music videos and a Thai action show that was badly dubbed in Khmer (the language of Cambodia).

Look at Isabella's video, she is such an amazing puppy!!!
If you are interested in helping Isabella safe thousands of puppy lives please join the following facebook group and find out how you can help in your area!
I don't think Zoey is enjoying her visit to the doctor as much as Freddy used to... hope she gets better soon!
This might sound weird to you but our old puppy Freddrick LOVED to go to the vet! It was the funniest thing in the whole wide world! I don't know why, but he went so far to the point he pretended to have hurt is paw for me to take him to see the vet. He would cry and cry and cry and make it seem that he could not walk and all the drama... as soon as we get to the vet, he was fine, walking in all fours, they took some xrays, nothing was broken.... I guess he is such a cutie pie that everyone spoiled him there and he loved it!
do you have some funny vet stories? send them to us, firstname.lastname@example.com

1080p PCI TV tuner?
Hey guys,
So, I'm looking into adding a tv tuner to my pc so that I can "dvr" the tv shows that I like to watch. I don't have cable, so I would only be using this to watch / record "over the air" programming (the basic networks: nbc, abc, cbs, fox).
But I wanted to get some basics clarified here at sevenforums.

If it is a high def tunner then it should be 1080 plus the hdtv or screen must support that resolution
|My System Specs
|29 Nov 2010
well, sure. I'm using a 1080p tv as my monitor (running through an ATI radeon card and an HDMI cable).
|My System Specs
|29 Nov 2010
Ok then you should be solid quality wise
Now for the Tuner in question that is up to you but there should be some great hd tunners and since you run with ati why not get the diamond pci tv tunner
Also have you looked into streaming sites alot of them do 1080p and you could capture just like live television feed just a few options to look into

XP / Win7 x64 Pro
I believe 1080i is the highest quality for OTA digital HD broadcasts and there are a lot of great tuners out there. Just go to NewEgg and check out all of the ratings on the various tuners that fit your needs.

It's that time of year again, New York Fashion Week is upon us once again and I have been fortunate enough to be invited to various events during the week. I arrived in New York in the evening on Valentines Day and got straight into it the next day with brunch meetings and events to attend. One of the first presentations I attended was the Chloe Gosselin presentation at the Lori Bookstein Gallery. It's such a great place to hold a presentation as it's got great lighting and all of the shoes could be displayed in a way that was simple to view them but on different levelled platforms to make the presentation a little more interesting to look at. I love the shoes Chloe designs and when I spoke to her briefly she told me that she has really experimented using textures and fabrics with this collection (the fur lined tie up heels are amazing!) and that she has started to introduce a chunkier heel on her boots which she will also start to do on the heels she creates for next season. When asked what sort of woman wears a pair of Chloe Gosselin shoes, she replied 'a strong woman who knows how to make an impact but without it being too out there or in your face.' I couldn't agree more with that statement and am certainly looking to purchase a pair or two in the near future. For the collection and for more information, visit the Chloe Gosselin website by clicking here. Check out photos from the presentation below.

Overjoyed IVF mum has triplets born three years apart
TODDLER George is three, his brother and sister Noah and Lilah are newly arrived, yet they are triplets, all conceived at the same time.
Sarah turned to IVF for help because she had reached 40 before deciding that she wanted a family
Overjoyed mother Sarah Swann, 45, has IVF treatment to thank for her amazing medical story.
Yesterday she revealed: "People just can't believe it when I tell them that they were all conceived at the same time."
She turned to IVF for help because she had reached 40 before deciding that she wanted a family.
I was thrilled when I knew the treatment had worked and I was actually pregnant
George was born in 2012 weighing a healthy 8lb 8oz after a second course of treatment when doctors managed to retrieve five good quality eggs, which were all successfully fertilised.
Two were returned into her womb, resulting in George, while the remaining three were preserved in a freezer.
Miss Swann, an IT systems manager, who lives in Leicester, said: "I was thrilled when I knew the treatment had worked and I was actually pregnant.
"The first three months I was on tenterhooks in case anything went wrong. But luckily my pregnancy went smoothly and I felt amazing."
Then 12 months ago she decided she would like another baby. She said: "I loved being a mum to George, and I was desperate for him to have a little brother or sister before it was too late."
She underwent another course of treatment during which she had two of the frozen embryos put back in her womb and two weeks later she discovered she was pregnant.
A subsequent scan showed she was carrying twins. She said: "I had two embryos put back in to give me a better chance of getting pregnant with one baby because of my age. I never expected both to work."
Noah and Lilah were born in January, weighing 6lb4 and 5lb13 respectively. Miss Swann said: "It was so emotional when they were born and when I was holding them in my arms, it was the most amazing moment. I couldn't believe that my little triplet family was complete, even if Noah and Lilah have been born three years behind their big brother.
"Noah is the spitting image of George when he was a newborn baby, although their personalities are very different. George never slept through the night, but Noah is so laid back and chilled out.
"When they are old enough I'll tell them of their unusual start in life. Having three babies is hard work, but it's all worth it to be a mum."
Miss Swann had her treatment at Care Fertility in Nottingham.

Orangutan Portrait by papatheoWatch
©2009-2017 papatheo
One of the Orangutans at the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory in St. Paul, Minnesota. This place was such a delight: great animal environments, lots of overview areas where there were no wire nor glass obstructions and friendly volunteer workers who were absolutely in love with the place. The Minnesota Zoo, about 20 miles away, also has great photographer friendly environments... the two zoos make for a great overnight zoo safari.
All primates must be a dream to photograph with all their different expressions. You did a great job! I may have to head to the zoo myself...
curious expression!
He had several within a minute or so... I will probably post some others from that shoot.
I see you have met my brother Richard .
We must be related... this is my second cousin, once removed!!!
Gorgeous portrait Richard
Awesome portrait!
Beautiful capture, Richard. Nice expression in its face
Very nice job on this! He looks like he was in your studio.

This is your first step towards CMMS nirvana
Data conversion: When software is purchased to replace an existing CMMS, management will need to decide whether or not to export existing data. This can be a key decision in terms of data quality because there is always a risk that pre-existing data problems may be transported to the new CMMS. Implementing a strategy for your new CMMS is a great opportunity to review existing data in detail making sure the new CMMS is loaded with accurate data. In our experience, 80% of companies eventually abandon their plans to convert much of the old data from existing system. Maxpanda product managers work closely with new clients to ensure data quality. The key to good process design for data conversion quality is adequate system controls to be in place but most importantly work together from conception to meet the goals of the organization. We realize there's pain when upgrading software so our tech nerds created an extremely efficient process to import your existing data saving you time and money.
Free Data Import Services
Need to import your current data today? Work closely with a certified product manager and our competent technical engineers to ensure a successfully implemented database each step of the way. Contact us to request an import service today and get ready to launch your Maxpanda CMMS account overnight.
Alternatively you can populate our excel import sheet with your building, asset, parts, location, equipment and company codes information - our techies will do the rest.
- Download our Excel Data Import Sheet (right click, save link as, unzip it, fill it, email it to firstname.lastname@example.com)
- Review add/edit default company codes LOCATION TYPES: Building, Grounds, Parking Lot, Room, Suits
- Review add/edit default ASSET TYPES: Building Electrical System, HVAC, Generator, Maintenance / Repair etc..
- Define your ADDRESSES, LOCATIONS, ASSETS, VENDORS, PARTS etc... (Unlimited entries, we don't mind)
- Email the import sheet to your Maxpanda Project Manager. The techs import your data overnight
- Data integrity tests are conducted - pre & post import to ensure quality (we all make spelling errors)
- 24 hours later, you're ready to get to work!
- Technical conveniently located within your dashboard
Available tabs in your excel sheet - What do they mean?
1. Address - This lists every address of each Location and Building you will enter into your new account. Once all addresses are entered, a dropdown select menu beside the Location/Building name will be available to associate the correct address to that Location/Building note: each time you enter a new address you must SAVE your work sheet for the address to appear in the dropdown. Addresses are optional but helpful during application use and having them available on work orders.
2. SITES - Sites can be used for ENHANCED plans and up. Grouping your Buildings to a SITE allows that site to be self managed by a different Site Admin and/or Site Editor. If a location, work order, pm or asset is assigned to a building, they are auto set to that site. Everything attached to a building moves to the new site as you move buildings from site to site. Users can be set to manage 1 or all of your sites.
3. Buildings - Maxpanda uses buildings to sort multiple locations for the submitter when submitting a new work order and the admin/editors when filtering or reporting on costs per location(s). Think about a real example such as Building name i.e.) SUMMERSIDE APARTMENTS, then associate each location to that building (i.e. Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 2 First floor, Basement, Stairs, 2nd floor Showers etc…). You will need to create Location Types in the excel sheet or in your online account. A Location Type can be a UNIT, FLOOR, WASHROOM, GARAGE, FIELD, ROOF etc..). Predefined Locations Types are simply group locations. Maxpanda allows you to simply search by location types as well as asset types within your dashboard.
4. Vendors - Enter all of your vendors in order for you to quickly invite them into your account. Once entered through the excel you can select whether to invite them as either a LIMITED or UNLIMITED role. For details regarding these roles visit the Role Management area of our website.
5. Locations - A building is a BUILDING in Maxpanda. Each location will be assigned to that building. If you only want to create work orders towards that 1 Building, simply add it as a building and a single Location with the same name. Eventually you will have access to various enterprise reports such as Location Cost Summary and Building Cost Summary. To receive location based work orders through your portal you are required to create locations. Maxpanda uses buildings to filter through multiple locations allowing the Submitter to quickly select the desired location. We can initially focus on importing your Buildings/Locations first. Once you and your team are comfortable with Maxpanda CMMS and GoMAX! Mobile, we'll help you import your assets.
6. Assets - Initally review all the predefined asset types (HVAC, ENGINEERING, HOSES, FURNITURE etc..) in the excel sheet. These are the default terms within Maxpanda. Fill out the required asset details for each piece of equipment then select each asset type from the dropdown menu. Finally select the asset status (Active, In Storage, Disposed). Add to the asset status list as required. Most equipment you will enter for your initial import will have an ACTIVE status by default.
7. Parts - Enter the Name of the Part, the Part Number, any Notes, Quantity on hand, Minimum Level (for notification), Unit Price (captured costs on wo's), Storage Location and Send Reorder Email (yes or no = Admins receive email notifications when min. levels are reached).
8. Company Codes - The excel sheet is prepopulated with COMPANY CODES used by default in Maxpanda CMMS. If you like you can overwrite any code making sure the sort order is correct. This action can also be completed by an ADMIN within the COMPANY menu in Maxpanda. Adding new codes takes a second. It's wise to have a company meeting and get the team onboard on all the terminology they will be using company wide and moving forward.
9. Insert Company Codes - What's this for? Absolutely nothing. This page is for our technical nerds, please do not touch - they get angry and even more introverted.
10. Users - Build a list of all your users requiring daily access to your account. Don't worry, they can change their password within the app later on.
What happens then?
- Wait for the data to be uploaded - you'll receive a confirmation email within 24 hours
- Login and review all sections/menu of the desktop app now or after your data upload has been confirmed
- You can now download GoMAX mobile apps (ios/android)
- Share and bookmark this link which describes all aspects of the app
- Your staff will also receive an email to sign up once the data is loaded.
- Staff can now download and log into the mobile apps as well as any web browser
Facility Audit Services
Our onsite physical audits are an extremely valuable service to every new customer. We provide quality onsite data capturing of your entire facility(s) including but not limited to the collection of all asset details, asset images/tag uploads & building/location data. On-hand manuals (if existing) can be scanned and uploaded accordingly as well as all images per asset/location - all this is completed very equickly and usually takes 1-2 days to perform depending on the size of your organization (typically building and/or asset count). Addition to the physical tag services our auditing team is able to provide you with a full Preventative Maintenance Schedule set up per asset, part and location. Contact us with any questions regarding Maxpanda's facility audit services.
