The proposed amendments to the Prevention of Crime Act 1959
PRESS STATEMENT by SIVARASA RASIAH, Member of Parliament for Subang on the proposed amendments to the Prevention of Crime Act 1959
The amendments proposed by the BN Government to the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 are intended to create powers of detention without trial similar to that which previously existed in laws like the Internal Security Act 1960 ( ISA ) and the Emergency ( Public Order and Crime Prevention) Ordinance 1960 ( EO).
These laws were proudly proclaimed repealed in 2011 by Prime Minister Najib in an attempt to shore up his democratic credentials. However the immediate introduction of the new Security Offences ( Special Measures ) Act or SOSMA replete with oppressive features quickly dented that attempt. Now the claims to any democratic credentials go up completely in smoke with the wholesale reintroduction of detention without trial with these amendments.
The new amendments invoke the draconian Article 149 of the Federal Constitution and reintroduce 2 year periods of detention which are renewable with any meaningful judicial review excluded. The main difference now is that the decision to detain for 2 years is made by a board chaired by a judge and not the Minister. Apart from this, the process is fundamentally the same. It is draconian and unacceptable.
We note that MCA and Gerakan leaders have voiced opposition to these amendments. We wait to see if they will vote against this Bill when presented tomorrow.
A question also arises whether the Attorney-General has consistently misled the public with his recent statements that he is opposed to a reintroduction of detention without trial. He cannot plead ignorance of these Bills which the BN government will introduce next week; after all, they are drafted under his supervision. One wonders why the AG as recently as a few weeks ago on 24.8.2013 in a forum organized by the Home Ministry had said that there was no need today for such laws and that the police had been able to deal with violent criminals such as Botak Chin without recourse to such laws.
Equally relevant is the question whether the Minister responsible for legal affairs in the Prime Minister's Department, Nancy Shukri, was similarly misleading the Bar Council when she said at a meeting with them on 18.9.2013 as follows: ( I quote from the Bar Council website)
"There are some rumours (or perhaps I shall say as hearsay) that the Government is planning to re-introduce laws that are similar to the EO. These are all out-dated matters that the public should not be discussing anymore as we are no more going back to laws which are obsolescent to our society and needs."
She then added as follows:
" At this juncture too, let me stress that the Government is concern with the rise in violent crimes and organised crimes in the country. Recently, we see more notorious crimes happening. In times of economic challenges, we are drawn backwards by these ferocious crimes. Please be assured that the Government is committed to address this issue. The general safety of public and the image of the country are of utmost priority to the Government. The Government is aware of the negative implications associated with these brutal-organised crimes. The Government however is not recommending new legislations to deal with these crimes. The Government will not be enacting new laws. If there is anything that the Government would be doing, is just amending some of the provisions in the existing laws. The Government believes these criminals can be tried and punished under the existing criminal legislations in the country."
So, the clear impression is given of just "amending some provisions" and using "existing criminal legislation".
However, the far-reaching amendments, whilst technically not being "new legislation", are clearly contradictory to the impression given.
The Home Ministry had notice from 16 September 2011 that the EO would be repealed.
They had about 6 - 9 months do deal with the existing detainees. Why were those detainees held in Simpang Rengam and other detention centres then not investigated thoroughly and charged in court within that period before release? Those charged in court for violent crimes could also be denied bail pending their trials to ensure they were not continuing their criminal activities.
Why then only in mid 2013 through the so-called Ops Cantas is the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 suddenly being invoked a year after these detainees have been released? Why did the Government wait until 2013 to suddenly start talking about increased violent crime purportedly due to the release of detainees resulting from repeal of the EO 2 years prior?
These facts point to a colossal failure of policing and management of security on the part of the BN government. The Prime Minister, the Home Minister and the IGP need to provide the public an explanation.

Corrupt practice and human trafficking of Bangladeshi nationals into Malaysia.
30th August 2013
PRESS STATEMENT by Sivarasa Rasiah
Credible information that I have received recently showed a substantial level of human trafficking from Dhaka to KLIA done very openly and facilitated by alleged corrupt practice at the visa issuance section of the Malaysian High Commission in Dhaka and Immigration personnel in KLIA.
Since March this year, six direct flights a day arrive from Dhaka at KLIA – two by MAS, one by Biman Bangladesh Airlines, one by Regent Airways and one by United Airways carrying 900-1000 passengers. A seventh flight has just been approved for Malindo Air effective from 26 August 2013 adding another approximately 180 passengers. Taking into account indirect flights with other airlines ( Thai Airways through Bangkok, Sri Lanka Airways through Colombo) the number of passengers arriving daily from Dhaka is easily around 1000 per day. Most of them arrive bearing 30 day tourist visas issued at the Malaysian High Commission at Dhaka.
Enforcement agencies here should have immediately red-flagged the fact that a country like Bangla Desh is purportedly sending 1000 tourists a day to Malaysia, bearing in that even India has only 3 daily flights arriving a day at KLIA.
The information I have received shows a Bangladeshi company called Union Tours and Travel Limited playing a key role in this large number. This company was appointed by MAS as its General Sales Agent in the second half of 2012 and succeeded recently in March in getting MAS to increase its daily flights from the long-standing daily flight to two flights daily. Union Tours was also recently appointed by the Malaysian High Commission as the latest addition to a list of 25 companies appointed and authorize to facilitate applications for visas to Malaysia ( called visa submitting agents) .
The information received shows that large numbers of tourist visas are issued daily at the Malaysian High Commission in Dhaka facilitated by Union Tours and Travel Ltd involving the use of false documentation and payment of large fees of up to 32,000 Taka ( about RT 1300 ) for each tourist visa. The official fee payable for a visa is actually 20 RM ( about 500 Taka ) with a permissible service charge of up to 1000 Taka.
The information suggests that corrupt payments are used to smooth the process of visa issuance at the High Commission and also to ensure that there are no problems at check-in in Dhaka. Similarly, Immigration personnel in KLIA do not hinder the entry of the approximately 1000 so-called Bangladeshi "tourists" who arrive daily at KLIA.
I am told it is obvious at plain sight that many of those who arrive do not look like tourists and are in actual fact migrant workers who are on a one-way trip into Malaysia to find work. This raises the inference of corrupt practice at the KLIA end.
I have therefore lodged a police report today at Balai Polis Tropicana in order that that the various agencies can initiate investigations. I have also forwarded some documents in respect of the facts stated above. I will also be forwarding the same documents to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission for their action.
I call upon the authorities to ensure a speedy and effective investigation.
To assist them, I have also given them the names and passport numbers of 5 Bangladeshi nationals who I am informed have obtained so-called "tourist" visas in the manner I have described above through Union Tours and Travel Limited.
Such human trafficking makes victims of the migrant workers who will become undocumented and vulnerable to all forms of exploitation in Malaysia. Such acts are a serious crime.
These acts also deprive the Malaysian government of substantial revenue in the form of levies which are collected from workers who come in legally and documented properly.
A large unchecked flow of undocumented workers affects employment for locals in Malaysia and also raises social issues. Amongst the issues raised in the last general election campaign was the phenomenon of foreign workers being given blue IC's and the right to vote.
I understand that such allegations of corrupt payments for tourist visas to Malaysia in Dhaka have been raised from time to time in the print media there. I have also handed to the police today a copy of one example in 2009 where an article dated 17the December 2009 in the daily SAMAKAL newspaper reports the allegation that an employee in the Malaysian High Commission collected 200 USD to issue a tourist visa.

we need a Royal Commission immediately
Malaysian criminal justice system in complete disrepute ; we need a Royal Commission immediately
The shocking outcome of the Altantuya murder appeal in the Court of Appeal has the effect of bringing further and total disrepute to the Malaysian criminal justice system.
Keadilan has consistently maintained that the Altantuya High Court trial of Razak Baginda, Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar had always been a manipulated process and done according to a prescribed script.
When the script was not followed at certain points in the initial stages, we saw the fallout. The most senior prosecutors in the Prosecution Division of the AG's Chambers such as Dato Sallehudin and Dato Yusuf Zainal Abiden were removed from the team when apparently they refused to play ball with a script that would result in the certain acquittal of Razak Baginda. Sallehudin then resigned to go into private practice.
We also saw the trial moved to be heard before YA Zaki Yassin after YA N Segara refused bail to Razak on the basis of facts stated in Razak's own affidavit. The movement was of course disguised in a reshuffle of cases in the Shah Alam High Court.
There were still occasional out of script moments during the trial when a witness Burma Oyunchimeg @ Amy tried to tell the Court about the photograph shown to her by Altantuya showing Razak, Najib and her in a restaurant in Paris and was stopped by objections from the defence, prosecution and the court.
The rest of the trial mostly played out according to the written script including the acquittal of Razak Baginda.
Keadilan had consistently maintained earlier that key witnesses such as DSP Musa Safiri, Nasir Safar, Prime Minister Najib, his wife Rosmah and his brother Nazim Razak should all have been called as relevant witnesses – not so much to establish the guilt of Sirul and Azilah but to establish who had directed Sirul and Azilah to kill Altantuya.
After the revelations of Deepak Tethwani and Americk Singh Sidhu, it was obvious that they and Cecil Abraham were also relevant witnesses.
Private investigator Balasubramaniam had in his public statements detailed Musa's involvement in the episode and the link between Musa and Razak Baginda. The key question to be answered was always -who was directing Musa as Razak clearly had no authority to direct key police personnel. Musa at that time was Najib's ADC.
Nasir Safar, Prime Minister Najib's private secretary of 20 years standing at the material time ( no longer now ) was identified by Balasubramaniam as present on the night of the murder on 19th October 2006 in front of Razak Baginda's house in Bukit Damansara driving around slowly surveying the scene before Sirul, Azilah and woman policeman L/Corp Rohaniza Roslan arrived later to take away Altantuya who was in front of the house with Bala.
Najib, Rosmah and Nazim have all been implicated by public statements by Balasubramaniam, Deepak and Americk Singh Sidhu in the making of Bala's 2nd SD which was done to obliterate all references to the alleged relationship between Najib and Altantuya in Bala's 1st SD.
When the High Court judge YA Zaki said he had a problem establishing motive, it would be obvious to all and sundry that witnesses such as Musa, Nasir Safar, Najib, Rosmah, Nazim, Deepak, Cecil Abraham amongst others would be highly relevant to motive. But of course none were called to give evidence during the trial.
The acquittal of Razak Baginda without his defence being called was highly questionable. Also questionable was the decision of the AG to not appeal. The AG's Chambers routinely appeals verdicts against them in criminal trials; they had also made repeated and consistent public statements that they had a good case against Razak – why then did they not appeal?
It is our view that there was sufficient evidence during the trial to convict Azilah and Sirul on the evidence of Bala, Lance Corporal Rohaniza, the phone records showing constant communication between Azilah and Razak from 18 October before and after the murder, the fact that Altantuya's jewellery was found in Sirul's house, CCTV footage in Hotel Malaya ( where Altantuya was staying ) on 18 October showing Sirul and Azilah's presence there, Altantuya's blood stains on slippers in Sirul's car, the use of C4 explosives and other evidence presented. There could be no doubt that Sirul and Azilah were the last to be seen with Altantuya.
It is our view that even if the Court of Appeal found defects in the manner the High Court judge analyzed the evidence and in the conduct of the prosecution in presenting the case, the proper order to make in this case was to order a retrial and NOT grant an acquittal, particularly when the defect was that a key witnesses such as Musa Safiri was not called. There is ample power under the law in section 60 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 to order a retrial which is regularly done in appeals.
However the judgment of the Court of Appeal again highlights aspects of the shoddy prosecution highlighting in particular the omission to call Musa Safiri. However the omission is not just to call Musa but also the many others stated above, Musa, Nasir Safar, Najib, Rosmah, Nazim, Deepak, Cecil Abraham amongst others.
The question raised by the Court of Appeal about the failure of the prosecution to call a key witness Musa Safiri is only one of many questions to be asked about this failed prosecution. Any independent investigator would be asking why persons linked closely to Najib such as Musa Safiri and Nasir Safar are linked to the murder? Najib's direct involvement in the making of Bala's 2nd SD raises questions about his motives here.
We therefore call for a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the failed prosecution. We had already earlier called it a failed prosecution because of the acquittal of Razak Baginda and the gross failure to identify and prosecute those who directed the killing of Altantuya. However the failed prosecution has taken a ludicrous twist with the acquittal of Sirul and Azilah as now the Malaysian criminal justice system sinks into complete disrepute in the eyes of the world. A Royal Commission is necessary to start the process of rescuing its credibility. Will the Cabinet sit ( without the presence of Prime Minister Najib ) and make a decision?

PR Suit against EC
PRESS STATEMENT - 17 July 2013
Pakatan Rakyat suit is against the 7 EC officials is constitional
The Deputy Chairman of the EC has responded to the suit by Pakatan Rakyat to say that the suit is unconstitutional citing Article 118 of the Federal Constitution.
I would advise him to review his views with his legal advisors.
The Deputy Chairman is failing to appreciate that the suit filed against the 7 members of the EC is alleging that by willfully and knowingly causing the failure of the indelible ink, they acted fraudulently, breached the constitutional rights of the Plaintiffs and also committed the tort of misfeasance in public office. If the Court after hearing the evidence agrees with the Plaintiffs, the main reliefs sought are declarations to such effect and also payment of general damages. There is nothing unconstitutional about such a suit for such reliefs. Actions against public bodies based on such causes of action are well established all over the world in similar common law jurisdictions.
In the event that the Court finds that the EC officials did act fraudulently, in breach of constitutional rights and committed misfeasance in public office, then Pakatan Rakyat is also seeking consequential reliefs that the election in all 222 parliamentary seats is declared void and that the same errant officials are removed from their positions so that a fresh election can be conducted by new and credible officials.
Again, I see nothing unconstitutional in seeking such consequential reliefs.
There are decided cases in apex courts all over the Commonwealth which have intervened in cases of election misconduct by election officials other than purely through election petitions. I will just cite one here - Union Bank of India v Association for Democratic Reform [2005] 5 SCC 294 where the Supreme Court of India in a constitutional challenge issued directions to the Election Commission. The case was not filed as a election petition. India has an identical provision to Article 118 of our Federal Constitution which provides that a challenge to an election can only be done via an election petition.
The Deputy Chairman of the EC seems unable to appreciate and understand the universal and fundamental principle in common law, best expressed in Latin "Ubi jus, ibi remedium" which means "Where there is a right, there is a remedy" which has been accepted in the Courts of England, Canada, Australia and India (in other words, the mature, senior Commonwealth) to apply in constitutional litigation. Thus, any constitutional right if violated, must have a remedy or redress, more so when the right involves the right to a free and fair election. Accordingly, Pakatan's civil suit seeks constitutional remedies for breaches of rights guaranteed under the constitution. One need not and in fact does not pursue them by way of an election petition in an election court.
Pakatan Rakyat is aware that the independence of the Malaysian courts is a matter of controversy particularly when high profile political cases are involved. However Pakatan Rakyat calls upon the members of the judiciary to play their role as an independent institution and ensure that rights provided for under the Federal Constitution are upheld.

Secret ballot for the election of the Parliament Speaker
Secret ballot for the election of the Parliament Speaker is mandatory and best practice as well. Public need to know all the nominees.
The Secretary to Parliament Datuk Rosmee Hamzah is quoted In Malaysiakini 21 June 2012 at 5.33 pm as saying that "more than two names have been nominated for the speaker position but refused to comment further".
The election of the Speaker of Parliament is without any doubt a matter of public interest. Under the Parliament Standing Orders, nominations have to be submitted by 10th June. Pakatan has proposed Datuk Abdul Kadir Sulaiman, a former Federal Court judge and a person unaffiliated to any political party consistent with our position that the Office of the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat should be an independent institution as is the case in other modern democratic parliaments. We have also publicly announced our nomination.
We call upon Barisan Nasional to publicly announce their nomination instead of remaining silent on it. We also call upon the Secretary of Parliament who is vested with the sole authority to conduct the election of the speaker under the standing orders to publicly announce all the nominated names. The public have a right to know. These are not national or official secrets.
The election of the Speaker will be the first order of business on Monday morning and is entirely under the control of the Secretary to Parliament.
Secrecy of the ballot process and transparency in the counting are clear in the spirit and letter of Standing Order 4 ( see http://www.parlimen.gov.my/news/PM_DR_BI.pdf).
Modern Parliaments including Westminster which we claim to follow by convention ensure a proper secret ballot by requiring members of parliament to line up before the Secretary, receive their ballot papers, vote in privacy, put their ballot papers publicly into a box which are then counted transparently. This practice is now established best practice and is intended that members of Parliament are free to elect their choice of speaker without being dictated to by party lines or the so-called "whip".
The previous speaker election in the Malaysian parliament in 2004 when the then Speaker Tun Zahir passed away did not meet this standard. Ballot papers were given to members of Parliament at their seats who then marked their ballot papers in each other's company. Collection of ballot papers was not done in a manner transparent to all present. Such a process clearly is not acceptable. The mere fact that a Speaker election was done in this manner before does not justify its repetition.
Standing Order 4 does not actually specify the place at which a member will receive her ballot paper, mark it and where it will be collected by the Speaker. The only place specified is in relation to the counting of ballots which will be done at "the Table of the House". Therefore the detailed process is unspecified.
Hence Pakatan Rakyat has requested the Secretary to Parliament to ensure that on Monday morning, the election process must in fact be done AND SEEN TO BE DONE by a secure and proper secret ballot and with transparent counting.
We have requested that we follow the best practice of other modern democratic parliaments by requiring members of parliament to line up, receive their ballot papers, vote in privacy, place their ballot papers publicly into a box which are then counted transparently. Otherwise, the Secretary to Parliament will be repeating in Parliament the fiasco of a fraud tainted manipulated GE 13. This request has been communicated in writing by myself yesterday in writing as instructed by the Leader of the Opposition and also in a meeting with the Secretary herself yesterday midday.
We appreciate the willingness of the Secretary of Parliament to meet with us yesterday and discuss the matter. However the statement made by her as reported in Malaysiakini where "she refused to comment on whether the ballot will be secret or not" raises serious concern. Also, her reported use of the phrase "letter ballot" is a literal translation of the Bahasa term "undi tersurat" – the proper English term is simply to say, as the Standing Orders do, is to say that the election is to be conducted by ballot ( which means with ballot papers, as opposed to a open show of hands ).
However we need to put on record again the firm reminder issued by the Leader of the Opposition Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in his media statement on 20th June 2013 that the election of the Speaker has to be done by a proper secret ballot – otherwise there will be trouble in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday morning.
If an improper process is bulldozed through by Barisan Nasional using its majority, it will only serve to confirm that the Barisan Nasional is an insecure government that cannot even elect a Parliament Speaker by a proper secret ballot.

Kerajaan Selangor Sumbang RM10 Ribu Pada Bali PI Bala
Exco Kebajikan dan Hal Ehwal Wanita Rodziah Ismail berkata kerajaan Selangor juga berjanji akan membantu Santamilselvi menyekolahkan tiga anaknya yang berumur 11 hingga 16 tahun yang sudah dua bulan tidak bersekolah sejak tiba di Malaysia dari India sejak Mac lalu.
Selain itu, Rodziah juga berkata pihaknya turut akan membantu menyediakan tempat dan modal kepada balu mendiang untuk membuka kedai makan.
"(Ini) sumbangan RM10,000 dari kerajaan Selangor. Kita akan buat apa yang perlu, yang boleh membantu ringankan beban balu mendiang seperti (memberikan) skim-skim yang disediakan oleh kerajaan Selangor.
"Memandangkan keluarga mendiang dah duduk di India selama lima tahun dan tak dapat mengikuti pendidikan di sini, kita akan sediakan alternatif yang terbaik untuk anak-anak Bala.
"Selain sumbangan, kita juga akan pastikan beliau akan dapat pendapatan bulanan berterusan. Dan kita akan bantu untuk bincang dengan pihak berkuasa tempatan tentang modal dan tempat untuk bantuan memulakan perniagaan," katanya.
Rodziah yang juga ADUN Batu Tiga berkata demikian dalam sidang media ketika membuat lawatan ke rumah balu mendiang Bala di Rawang hari ini.
Turut hadir dalam lawatan tersebut, Ahli Parlimen Subang R Sivarasa dan ADUN Rawang Gan Pei Nei.
Pada 15 Mac lalu, Bala meninggal dunia selepas disahkan akibat serangan jantung.
Beliau memainkan peranan dalam dua akuan bersumpah berhubung kes pembunuhan warga Mongolia Altantuya Shaariibuu - yang dikaitkan dengan pemimpin tertinggi politik.
Kematian Bala secara tiba-tiba itu mengejutkan banyak pihak kerana beliau pada ketika itu baru sahaja pulang dari India.
Sementara itu, Selvi yang kini tidak bekerja selepas pulang dari India tidak dapat menahan sebak ketika diminta mengulas bantuan yang diberikan kerajaan Selangor itu.
"Saya ucapkan terima kasih pada kerajaan Selangor," katanya yang kemudiannya mengalirkan air mata dan ditenangkan oleh Rodziah.~ Mkini

Isu Altantuya: Jawapan menteri tiada makna - Sivarasa
Bekas naib presiden PKR itu berkata, ini kerana kes itu masih berjalan dan pembunuh sebenar bagi kes itu masih lagi belum diketahui hingga hari ini.
"Bila Rohani kata bahawa kes pembunuhan Altantuya telah diselesaikan, bagi saya perkataan itu tidak memberi apa-apa makna bagi majoriti rakyat Malaysia kerana keadilan masih belum dicapai dalam kes ini.
"Saya harap ini satu peringatan pada kerajaan Umno/BN supaya fikir lebih mendalam tentang hal ini. Mereka perlu faham ini boleh ditangguhkan tapi tak boleh lari dari isu.
"Satu hari nanti akan ada keadilan untuk Altantuya," katanya dalam sidang media ketika membuat lawatan ke rumah balu penyiasat persendirian, P Balasubramaniam.
Sivarasa berkata demikian bagi mengulas kenyataan Rohani Selasa lalu yang mengatakan bahawa kes Altantuya telah ditangani.
Rohani yang enggan mengulas ketika ditanya mengenai kes tersebut juga berkata, beliau tidak menerima apa-apa memorandum dari delegasi Mongolia ketika persidangan kemuncak wanita global 7 Jun lalu yang menuntut jawapan berhubung kematian Altantuya. ~ Mkini

Najib insults the Indian community with Zul Nordin's candidacy
prime minister, Najib Tun Razak's defence for Zul Nordin, who recently
stirred up a controversy over his derogatory remarks of Hindu deities.
He said, at least the MIC has some conscience over the selection of Zul
Nordin as a BN Candidate for Shah Alam. R. Sivarasa, was commenting on the latest development where a local leader and 103 others in MIC Shah Alam had quit because of the selection of Zul Nordin.

The Unanswered Questions
A number of issues have plagued the nation, but the answers are still not
From Teoh Beng Hock and Ahmad Sarbani's sudden death, to that of custodial
deaths involving among others, C.Sugumar, who is the most recent victim on
Jan 23, and from the confession by the late PI Bala to the shocking murder of
Mongolian model, Altantuya Shariibuu and the Scorpene submarines, the
questions have been asked, but the answers are vague.
This has driven Subang parliamentary incumbent, Sivarasa to urge the
people not only to vote the Pakatan Rakyat representatives, but to ensure a
new government is formed at both the Federal and State level.

Project management
meeting China's challenge
The Great Wall stands as a marvel of China's ancient construction achievements. To better understand China's modern practices for realizing projects, the authors traveled to China on two occasions for a period totaling six weeks. This article reports their findings of China's contemporary project management practices, findings based on observations of actual projects and conversations with professors and students of management as well as professional practitioners. It explains the nature of China's traditional project management practice, known as Danwei, and describes the state of the country's current labor market and infrastructure. It also describes the cultural qualities that most significantly affect Chinese projects, particularly in regard to manager performance and project scheduling. It then details the country's effort to develop a new system for planning and implementing projects, a system based on a model practiced by the United States Government. It also discusses Chinese projects in relation to project quality and project cost. Accompanying this article is a table comparing the project attributes used in the United States with those used in China, attributes that are categorized into seven sections: project purpose, financing, procurement of materials, labor, contractor relationships, project manager authority, and project meetings.

As Engadget reports, while brain implants have been in development for years, this particular patient has become the first to make use of one at home and outside of a research or hospital setting.
Based on the treatment details published in the New England Journal of Medicine, a device called an electrocorticograph (ECoG) was installed directly on her brain. The ECoG electrodes pick up impulses normally associated with moving her right hand and then amplify and transmit those signals using a small device implanted in her chest.
A wireless receiver outside her body then converts the signals into data that can be used to control a table computer in front of her. In order to get the whole system working, the patient had to train her brain by playing Pong and whack-a-mole on the tablet, until she eventually could perform a "brain click" just by thinking about moving her right hand.
While the system is still slow -- Ars Technica reports it takes her about 20 seconds to click a letter from an on-screen keyboard -- the system is constantly being improved to add more useful functions like adjusting her thermostat or turning on the TV.

Transistor Arrives on PS4 and Xbox One on May 20
Science fiction action-RPG. It's a much loved genre mix-up. Anything from the third person shooter Mass Effect series to the tactical turn-based RPG XCOM games. And it seems that Transistor is loosely following down the path of the latter, just not with alien invasions which the government is simultaneously trying to combat and to cover up. Oh, and to capture single aliens for experimentation.
Nope, in Transistor step into the role of Red, a singer destined for greatness. No, she doesn't sing songs…it's something to do with being a warrior. Anyway, Red comes into possession of the Transistor, which is a powerful and intelligent sword, perhaps containing a degree of sentience. Of course, no such weapon goes unnoticed by greedy eyes, and so something called The Process relentlessly pursues after Red and the Transistor. That's all she wrote.
The game has a beautiful art style as a bonus, and by the sound of the protagonist and what she's up against, in due time we may be in for an immersive tale.
Check out the reveal trailer of Transistor below.

Odd Facts About Dark Elves
Sure, you know dark elves. But do you really know dark elves? More than just sinister counterparts to light elves with a love for underground realestate, dark elves are every bit as complex and confusing as humans. To help players craft more nuanced characters and help GMs build better worlds and more dynamic dark elf NPCs and societies, we here at d-Infinity present a growing list of facts you might not know about dark elves!
Dark elves use the same for for diplomat as they do for assassin.
Dark elves are naturally hairless. Their flowing silver hair is the result of alchemy and spidersilk wigs.
Dark elves us mild doses of poison as a food additive to add a sinister flavor to their meals and build up useful immunities.
All dark elf structures contain the remains of a slave who was interred within a keystone by means of a stone shape spell.
Dark elves never wear black. What may appear to be black fabrid is infact a sepulchral shade of deep purple. Its splendor can only be appreciated with darkvision.
Dark elves consider identicle twins unlucky, and will typically disfigure one or both shortly after birth, typically by removing a finger or tattooing a facial blemish.
Dark elves value the silk of silkworms over spidersilk because of its scarcity in underground realms. Aften referred to as daysilk, dark elves wear garments made of silkworm silk as a symbol of wealth and status.
Dark elves never use wheels unless circomstances demands it. They consider the wheel a tool fit only for slaves and the lowest castes of laborers.
The most popular dessert in dark elf society is a sour paste made from jellied sightless cave fish.
All dark elf letters have two meanings depending on whether they are presented right side up or upside down. Dark elf books and scrolls have design elements that indicate which way the text should be held and read. Dark elf poetry and comedy makes frequenty use of the destinctions between right side up and upside down letters for humourous and symbolic effect.
Dark elves cannot hear the note f-sharp.
Dark elves track the passage of days and seasons based on the behavior of cave bats.

I'm gonna show you how to choose your work area as a Virtual Assistant in this online job. The first and basic thing in every online job is choosing your professional life.
Ask yourself, what are the areas in which you dominate?
Where do you see yourself in the online job, so you can say: "Yes, that's me!"
Be simple and practical. Ask yourself:
- What are the areas in which you have had success in the past?
- What is the thing you always wanted to do?
Now is the moment. Even as a hobby, and maybe it has nothing to do with your profession? Understand this. The online market is a global village, and the possibilities are innumerable.
- What is the work in which you have the most experiences in, so you have it in the palm of your hand?
- In which area people ask you for advice or help?
Recall the experience or knowledge you have. This is something one can take away from you? This is your Holy Grail.
By doing what you know best, you love the most
When you do what you know the best, you can make a profit of it. Even job you want I didn't describe that Virtual Assistants do if you know how to do it, opportunities are on your side.
This is a job that allows you to work from your home, sitting in your garden, or while you are on a journey.
There is also the so-called term -Online Nomads. Because you will not be attached to any geographic area, to any country.
Even you are still in the system, you will not depend on it. Even though the complete freedom is an illusion and utopia, this jobs gives you a lot of freedom in every aspect. But there are no safety incomes, you are on your own. New generations take it for granted, and the issue is that the most of other people should adjust to this new working system.
The Other types of jobs
We have come out from the subject of the Virtual Assistant a little bit, but you should know you can do things in the education area:
* Many people sell courses online. They create their own online courses on a variety of skills, and knowledge. They use Skype and got paid pay through PayPal, for example. Not to talk about possibilities that programmers, designers, artists have. They work online and delivered it to the other part of the world.
* There are people who offer financial advice. An investment advice. Psychologists who offer psychological support, you name it.
* We all ask for help or advice. You know a lot about some subject better than most other people do. The one who asks you for help knows less than you, so you are in a good position in that moment.

Have you ever wondered why you're not as confident as you'd like.
I was reading an interview with the fantastic actor Matt Damon. One quote stuck out for me:
"Nothing gets given to you, and you have to struggle for everything, and I think those struggles really do define who you are, and it's really important. I've seen parents try to remove those struggles from their kids' lives, to the detriment of the kid, and it's something I think about a lot. I can't make it too easy for my kids because that doesn't really equip them to handle the world when I'm not around"
We are going through a period of history where the name of the game is ease and simplicity:
Want your shopping done? Have it delivered to your home.
Don't walk up those stairs! Use the elevator.
Have a credit card, have state money, have a loan.
Take this pill and your fat is reduced. Same with this milkshake.
10 years ago if I wanted to listen to an album I had to go to the music store, buy the CD and then go home and listen to it. Now, I can be listening to any album in history within 3 minutes.
In 2000 the average attention span was 12 seconds. In 2013 this reduced down to 8 seconds. To put that in perspective, research shows the attention span of a gold fish is 9 seconds. So on average you are more likely to hold the attention of a gold fish than the person in front of you.
Another human quirk to point out is, as Thinking Fast thinking slow author Daniel Kahneman, points out we fear losing $100 more than we hope in gaining $100. In short we are going to work harder to hold onto something than we are in gaining it.
Now place this in the context of increasing confidence, connecting with more people and getting what you want.
All require effort, all take time to get good at and all open you up to the possibility of failure (or loss).
But hang on if we take the points I mentioned before, does this mean our environment is set up to make it harder for us?
You bet your ass it does!
It takes effort (technology and living environments are evolving so we use as little effort as possible in living)
It takes time (our attention span is diminishing with each year that passes)
It opens us up to the potential of failure and loss (we are more motivated to prevent loss than we are to going for a gain that would open you up to failure)
With that in mind, I can not stress the importance of my next statement;
You have to rise above the behaviours, mindsets and habits you witness in everyday life from the majority of people around you.
They are risk averse, they avoid effort and they rarely stick at anything long enough to get good at anything.
Supreme confidence, Quality connections and meaningful conversations does not happen by accident.
Stop thinking it is going to magically appear with no effort, with no risk and without a period of time to practice.
For starters here are 3 measure you can put in place today:
– Disagree with someone and be forthright so you can find yourself in an uncomfortable situation. Notice how you feel in that situation, BUT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GET OUT OF THE SITUATION , sit in it for a period of time to show you can cope.
– Notice the language of someone you consider to be a pessimistic, 'life victim', complainer of life. It shouldn't be too hard to find. Im not going to give you any pointers just notice the language they use.
– Do 1 act today you consider to be risky. Just a small act that will get you slightly nervous in doing.
Do you agree we can make ourselves too comfortable in life?
Looking forward to learning more, enjoyed your articles!
Thank you for sharing this article. The faulty reasoning behind achieving success the "lazy way" has derailed many entrepreneurs from the success path and robbed them of their original passion. The question you ask "Do you agree we can make ourselves too comfortable in life?", the answer is yes. Many times, which I am sure you have seen them, people start achieving success and slowly they become comfortable. Bottom-line, great article.

Chemical solution deposition of CaCu3Ti4O12 thin film
Viswanathan S Saji Han Cheol Choe
CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) thin film was successfully deposited on boron doped silica substrate by chemical solution deposition and rapid thermal processing. The phase and microstructure of the deposited films were studied as a function of sintering temperature, employing X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. Dielectric properties of the films were measured at room temperature using impedance spectroscopy. Polycrystalline pure phase CCTO thin films with (220) preferential orientation was obtained at a sintering temperature of 750°C. There was a bimodal size distribution of grains. The dielectric constant and loss factor at 1 kHz obtained for a film sintered at 750°C was 𝑘 ∼ 2000 and tan 𝛿 ∼ 0.05.

Preferential dissolution behaviour in Ni–Cr dental cast alloy
Viswanathan S Saji Han Cheol Choe
A Ni–Cr–Mo dental alloy was fabricated by three different casting methods, viz. centrifugal casting, high frequency induction casting and vacuum pressure casting. The dependence of cast microstructure on the electrochemical corrosion behaviour was investigated using potentiodynamic cyclic and potentiostatic polarization techniques, impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results were compared and discussed with those obtained for a Co–Cr–Mo counterpart. The results of the study showed that the variation in casting morphologies with casting methods has only marginal influence in the overall corrosion resistance of Ni–Cr and Co–Cr dental alloys. There was severe preferential dissolution of Ni rich, Cr and Mo depleted zones from the Ni–Cr–Mo alloy. The overall corrosion resistance property of the Co–Cr base alloy was better than that of the Ni–Cr base alloy.

Description: I have my grail on my wrist now. Actually I have my eyes on this replica Breitling for a long time but never pull the trigger on until recently. The quality replica breitling sale offering very attracting prices is the clincher. I clearly realize that I never spend a big sum on a genuine watch not only because I cannot afford it easily but also that few people that I deal with would be happy to see a breitling on my wrist if my position is taken into consideration. So even I deadly want a breitling, I put off my purchase for an indefinite period. It is not until the moment when I saw the quality replica Breitling sale on watcheden did I placed an impulse order. The prime reason of course should be the very moderate price which can be afforded by me without any effort. I think that the best result will be that I get a fantastic replica watch from this sale with a reasonable. Even the replica turns out to be money-waste; it would be ok since it is not at a high price. Well, I know that such a thought is somewhat ridiculous. But you'll understand that if your mind has been set on something for a long time. Guess what? The good result seems happen. The watch is very awesome and has a great texture. It has a good copy bracelet which features an ultimate comfort when I wear it. It keeps very accurate time and the overall look is very handsome too. Though I don't know how it will be in the future, I get a good deal at least how it seems to be. I will update this post if necessary in the near future. Hope this will be helpful if you are looking for quality replica breitling sale.

Israel/Palestinian Terr.: Fighting escalates over Israeli-Gazan border May 5 /update 5
Fighting escalates over Israeli-Gazan border as of May 5, with over 600 rockets and other projectiles fired from Gaza at Israel since May 3; at least four Israelis and 23 Palestinians killed in cross-border exchange

Israel/Palestinian Terr.: Cross-border strikes continue into May 5 /update 2
Israel/Palestinian Terr.: Gazan militants fire 220 rockets at Israel May 4 /update 1
Israel/Palestinian Terr.: Multiple rockets fired from Gaza into Israel May 4
Fighting continues to escalate over the Israeli-Gazan border as of Sunday, May 5, with Gazan militants firing over 600 rockets and other projectiles at Israel since Friday, May 3. The rocket launches have prompted some 320 retaliatory Israel Defense Forces (IDF) strikes on suspected Gazan militant targets. At least four Israelis and around 23 Palestinians - including several militants, notably Hamas commander Ahmed al-Khodary - have been killed in the exchange. Rocket sirens continued to blare in Israeli communities near the Israeli-Gazan border as of Sunday evening (local time). Schools and some roads remained closed in southern Israel on Sunday.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly instructed the IDF to continue "massive strikes" targeting Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) militants; the Israeli Cabinet told the military to "continue its attacks and to stand by" for additional orders as of Sunday evening. These commands reportedly come as Egyptian mediators attempt to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Gazan militant groups to enter effect by 11:59 on Sunday. For his part, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh claimed late on Sunday that Hamas was not seeking a larger cross-border conflict and that de-escalation is possible pending Israel halting strikes on the Gaza Strip.
Despite such negotiations, additional cross-border exchanges are to be expected over the coming hours.
This flare-up in tensions comes after a Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) sniper firing from the Gazan side of the Israeli-Gazan border wounded two Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops on the Israeli side on May 3. Israeli forces retaliated by launching an airstrike, killing two Hamas militants; Israeli troops also reportedly killed two Palestinian protesters participating in the weekly Friday demonstrations - part of the "Great March of Return" movement - along the Israeli-Gazan border.
In general, rocket fire and strikes between Israel and the Gaza Strip have intensified since early December 2017. Hundreds of rockets and mortars have been fired from the Gaza Strip, often followed by retaliatory Israeli airstrikes.
Individuals present in Israel and the Palestinian Territories are advised to monitor developments to the situation and seek immediate shelter in the event of a rocket attack.
Due to the extant terrorist threat, travelers in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip are advised to report any suspicious objects or behavior to the authorities. Some Western governments advise their citizens against all travel to the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and areas near the Israeli-Lebanese, Israeli-Syrian, and Israeli-Egyptian borders.

Every month we'll be spotlighting a different Woodlands employee to connect you with our team and learn more about what they do day in and day out to keep their departments running smoothly. We appreciate our hard-working employees and want you to get to know them!
Brandon Maruca has been keeping our San Francisco store's Produce Department running smoothly since the store's opening last summer, and customers appreciate the constantly changing, seasonal inventory that's always on the shelves.
What is your background in the produce industry?
I used to live in Napa where the culture is extremely food-oriented. I had a lot of friends who had small farms and worked in the wine industry, so I've always been really drawn to plant life and agriculture. Knowing a good amount about plants in general, it was a natural progression for me to get into the food industry and produce. I found myself in and out of agriculture and food industry jobs, and as I accumulated more knowledge about produce, working in this industry was a natural progression for me. I moved to San Francisco five years ago, and it's a very different lifestyle than Napa but I love it.
When this job opened up, I checked out Woodlands' other stores and saw how friendly and happy the employees were acting. The stores had a great vibe, and it made me want to work here. I helped open this location last year and love the work.
Can you describe your job for us?
I come in each the morning and check the product to make sure everything is fresh and in stock. I start my day stocking and refreshing product, and from there I start ordering. I'll see if I can bring in new, organic products that are in season and scrap old products that aren't selling. I keep tabs on the season and ask my main buyer if he can get any items that I know are coming into season. I have a great relationship with my buyer—sometimes he'll send me a box of something even if I don't order it because it's particularly good at that time. I don't bring any product in if the quality isn't good either—that's obviously essential.
Right now, we use three to four different vendors. My main vendor provides all the big organic produce, while I have a smaller package vendor that will provide cut vegetables, and other specialty vendors that provide dried items like nuts and pistachios.
After I place my orders, I'll check the floor to make sure everything is still fresh and in stock on the shelf and help customers how I can. Between keeping product in stock, placing orders, and helping customers, I'm always on the move. The work is diverse, which is good for me.
How do you deal with the seasonal, rotating nature of the department?
Compared to other departments, we shift our stock very often due to how fluid and changing it is. Other departments are more locked into what they're doing, while produce is constantly rotating out, which is one element of this job that I love.
We're often merchandising and shifting around the layout of the department, as the produce is constantly changing. Things are always being moved around to make room for and showcase new product. For example, I just moved our organic pistachios into a different place and they started selling like crazy. Placement and layout are very important in such a small department like this one.
How do you decide what new produce to bring into the store on any given week?
I keep tabs on what product is coming into season each week and try to bring in things according to what's new and fresh. I really think it's important for us to always have some items that are in season. There are a lot of items that people just don't know the taste of, and I try to get shoppers to step outside their usual box by bringing in some different, unique items here and there to make it more interesting for them.
When a customer makes a request for a product, I'll usually bring a small order of it in even if I know it's not a fast mover. For example, customers have asked for radicchio, endive, chanterelle mushrooms, different types of radishes, and other items that we've stocked by request. Summer will bring the next major change for us when berries, stone fruit, and tomatoes come into season.
What's your favorite thing about working at Woodlands?
Probably not having to stand still. I'm constantly problem solving—nothing is ever the same here, and I never get bored. I'm constantly moving things around and shifting the department to keep it at its best. I get to interact with my customers a lot as well, which I love. And the food is great, of course.
I also really appreciate how small Woodlands has kept itself. I saw the owner [Don Santa] the other day and had a great conversation with him about what's going on with the department. Compared to my time working for the big box grocers, I don't get the sense that I'm just a worker bee who's not going to get any credit or acknowledgment for my work no matter what I do.
At Woodlands, the management checks in with us, asks us how things are going and what we need, and acknowledges when we make changes that have worked well. There's much more of a feeling that I'm a human here, and I feel very connected to the company. Working for a small company is great in that regard, though it also means that you have to work a little harder sometimes, which I don't mind at all.

Father of the victims, Mr. Anthony Ofomata, 57, said it was around 6pm, on December 25, that he was returning home only to see crowd at his residence, which is isolated from other buildings and, according to him, it was only his family that occupied the entire building.
According to him, he saw flames and sympathisers struggling to destroy the doors and windows and the iron burglary proofs to rescue the four children in the midst of the raging fire to no avail. He said his wife did not tell him where she was going to and did not know that the children were locked inside the house.
Our source said before people could notice what was happening at the house it was when flames were already coming out through the windows indicating that the children had already been consumed by the inferno before help could come. Probably, when they were crying for help, nobody heard them. The source said when the door was finally forced open, the charred bodies of the children were seen mangled together at one corner of the house where they had run to possibly thinking they would be saved there.
Mother of the victims said the door was actually locked outside to restrict movement of the children, as she said it wasn't the first time the children were locked inside.
As for what caused the fire, she said she did not know, adding that there was no inflammable material inside the apartment. She said she locked them inside after having a meal with them and set out for the sharing. She denied that the rice was meant for widows alone.
"The rice was meant for everybody, not widows alone. If you like go and find out. I don't know what caused the fire," she said when the police led her to the scene of the incident for investigation after being arrested.
Bodies of the deceased were later deposited at a near by mortuary as mother of the victims is still telling the police what she knew about the incident.

How do you choose that next, great lipstick color? For many women, simply trying on the color is the best way to determine a purchase. There are so many variables, however, including lighting and clothing colors, that can make the wrong hue seem perfect at the time. Take a close look at how you can choose the best lipstick for your skin tone every time.
1. Exploring The Undertones
There are three undertones to anyone's skin color, including:
• Pink
• Yellow
• Neutral
Your undertones and overall skin tone depends on genetics so you can't change any aspect of them. It's possible to accent the best parts of your face, however. If your skin looks fantastic with silver jewelry, you have pink undertones that match well with purple or blue lipstick colors. Yellow undertones match with gold jewelry, which indicates that warm lipstick colors are in order.
2. Darker Tones
When you have dark skin, bring out its incredible depth with dark reds, purples and other associated hues. Trying any pale colors will only drown out your lips and make them less pronounced.
Use lip liner to further accentuate the face as well. The liner should closely match the lipstick's color, but not exactly. You want some distinction between the lip's edges and interior color.
3. Fair Skin
When you have fair skin, the color palette opens up wide for you. Consider these colors for your lipstick collection, such as:
• Bright red
• Deep pink
• Magenta
• Metallic blue
Most colors reflect well on fair skin, but pale hues should be avoided. Pale pinks, yellows and other similar colors will only wash out the skin around the face. Fair-skinned people need colors that help their features pop out as you go about your daily activities.
4. Olive Complexion
Olive complexions typically have a neutral balance between yellow and pink undertones. With this fact in mind, nearly the entire color spectrum is open to these skin tones. Dark, pale and other hues complement the skin so consider matching the makeup to the clothing.
Dark clothing should be matched with similar lipsticks, including deep plums or reds. Warm-color lipsticks go well with yellow blouses, especially when spring arrives. Be aware of your entire outfit and makeup choices to pick out the best colors.
5. Caring For Your Lips
It's impossible for one lipstick to cover or hide any unhealthy skin issues. Dry lips will still pierce through the best lipstick on the market. As a solution, rub argan oil on your lips before applying any color. Allow the oil to absorb into your lips.
As you swipe the lipstick's tip across your lips, you'll notice that the color goes on with ease. It actually looks more even as you complete your makeup application. Argan oil heals the skin so that dry lips are a thing of the past.

Yes, People Search Life Insurance Calculators
If you have been online for some time, seeking life insurance, your eyes should haven't escaped the phrase 'life insurance calculator.'
You may have chanced upon the phrase. But, many look for it.
Here are statistics showing how many prospective U.S. buyers look for life insurance calculators a month:
Life insurance calculator: Up to 10,000
Insurance calculator: Up to 10,000
Term life insurance calculator: Up to 10,000
Whole life insurance calculator: Up to 10,000
Term insurance calculator: Up to 1,000
Term insurance premium calculator: Up to 100
Life insurance cost calculator: Up to 10,000
Besides, there are searches for 'life insurance cost calculators.'
Source: adwords.google.com
So, what are life insurance calculators? And what worth are they?
Let's examine.
When you are up for taking out life insurance, one of the fundamental questions, that you should find answers to, is: How much life insurance do I need?
This seemingly easy question can be the hardest nut for you to crack. Easier really asked than answered.
But finding the right answer is inevitable.
During purchase an insurance policy you actually buy assurance of a lump sum of money from the insurer. The insurer will pay the money to your heirs when you die.
You call it coverage, face value, proceeds or death benefit.
The future security of your dependents depends largely on the coverage you choose.
As a result, you cannot be a random chooser. If you choose more than what your heirs would need, you apparently don't make any mistake. But unless you choose your life insurance to work as a savings tool (through whole life insurance), chances are your money spent for insurance will be wasted. It will happen so because term insurance policies (which most people buy) scarcely convert. Most people outlive their terms and get nothing in the end.
On the other hand, if you choose less than what your dependents would require for financial safety, they will have trouble living the life behind you.
Not surprisingly, many people randomly choose a gross figure without doing proper life insurance calculations. As a result, they either over-insure or under-insure themselves.
This is why, life insurers have come up with Do-It-Yourself (DIY) tools, so that, instead of randomly choosing a lump sum, you may go methodically at your coverage.
With the help of digital technology, they have made life insurance calculators to help you find the right coverage.
It is wise that you make use of these tools.
Statistics about Coverage Gap
Many make the mistake of buying less coverage than they should. As a result, their dependents' future remain uncertain.
For example…
Life Insurance Market Research Association (LIMRA) estimated in 2016 that 48% of the U.S. families had an average life insurance coverage gap of $200,000. The number of such families was 60 million and the economic value was worth $12 trillion. The estimate also says, while income replacement in 2010 was for 3.5 years, it decreased to 3 years in 2016.
That can be good news, neither personally, nor nationally.
Unless you are willing to keep your family under-insured, you need to know how much life insurance you need. This is where you need to think of using life insurance calculator.
How Does the Life Insurance Calculator Work?
You will find numerous life insurance calculators online. Any one of them can be of great help when you cannot decide how much life insurance you need. Not much hypothetically speaking, these DIY tools have almost replaced financial experts when it comes to fixing your life insurance need.
These life insurance calculators are question-based. All you need to do is put in the estimates that you think your dependents will need behind your death. The tool brings up the sum and you choose it for your life insurance coverage.
It is that simple!
But remember, not all life insurance calculators work the same way.
The Uses of Life Insurance Calculators
There are real reasons you may find life insurance calculator to be cool.
First, life insurance calculators are free. Like we said there are numerous life insurance calculators you will find online. A big advantage of these tools is they come free of cost.
Secondly, you can make use of more than one or as many calculators as you want to. Though almost all of them work the similar way, they are not absolutely the same everywhere. So, they provide you the opportunity to check and double-check the coverage you should choose.
Thirdly, being well-planned and programmed, online life insurance calculators are faultless. They are designed by experts in the industry.
Fourthly, you can get your calculation at ease from the comforts of your home or office. You can choose the time and place the way you find it best.
Fifthly, when you use a life insurance cost calculator, you do not need to share any personal information with anybody. This impersonality is a great feature of these tools.
Sixthly, online life insurance calculators are obligation-free. Making use of the tool does not oblige you to purchase a product.
Seventhly, the providers of life insurance calculators often provide the essential discussions to educate you. There are tips and guidelines to help you make the right decision.

Life Insurance Mentors Team's Advice
You should have noticed that all the life insurance calculators do not work the same way. While some deal with the very basic issues, some others go into wider ranges. So, depending on one particular calculator might not be the best decision for you. Life insurance being an important issue, you need to look at each and every spectrum of it. This is why we ask you to make use of several life insurance calculators.
And, when it comes to income tax, you had better consult a financial expert for the coverage.

Product Description
Electronet series ELMAG-2516 are micro-controller based full bore type electromagnetic flow meters specially used for various industrial applications. These flow meters accurately measure the flow rate of conductive liquids & slurries in closed pipes. Due to its simple and rigid design, the flow meter is an obstruction-less & maintenance-free instrument in place of conventional mechanical flow measuring devices. The use of 'Pulsed DC' technology offers highest ability & better measuring accuracy in the form of electrical signal 4-20 mA DC linearly proportional to volumetric flow. The instrument is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. A magnetic eld is generated by the instrument in the flow tube. The fluid flowing through this magnetic field generates a voltage that is proportional to the flow velocity. Corresponding electrical output is provided with respect to measuring flow range.
