If any of y'all are buying the plush and figurines for the Pokemon 20th Anniversary event, just lettin' y'all know that calling ahead to reserve one is a good idea; GameStop and TRU are selling them a couple days before they're supposed to and someone on LiveJournal said that their area's stores started weeks before they're supposed to. Cuntwipes on Ebay are already snapping up the Darkrai plushies to re-sell for about 40+ USD when you can get them at GS for about 16 USD.
I missed Mew and Celebi, so I'm gonna wait a year or two and see if they pop up in the PKMN Collectors group on LiveJournal, I refuse to support scalpers and I urge other collectors not to; they'll quit once people stop making scalping profitable.

Union Pacific's Response Management Communications Center Awarded Elite CALEA Accreditation
Omaha, Neb., December 05, 2013
Union Pacific's Response Management Communications Center (RMCC) recently earned accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA), joining an elite group recognized for commitment to excellence in law enforcement.
Union Pacific's RMCC has the distinction of being one of the few private communications centers to receive accreditation. This honor is reserved for agencies that have demonstrated the highest standards in four areas: policy and procedures, administration, operations and support services.
"In order to qualify for accreditation, Union Pacific's RMCC met the criteria for more than 200 professional standards," said Bob Grimaila, vice president of Safety, Security and Environment at Union Pacific. "We are proud of CALEA's validation that the RMCC is committed to providing the very best public safety communications as we serve our employees, customers and the nearly 7,300 communities in which we operate."
From its beginnings as a dispatching center for the Union Pacific police force, the RMCC has evolved into a critical link within Union Pacific's security response system. Around the clock, RMCC critical call dispatchers answer phone calls from employees, law enforcement and the public reporting emergencies and other incidents occurring on Union Pacific property.
"Taking part in CALEA's accreditation process was the perfect vehicle to strengthen foundational processes," said Bob Morrison, chief of police at Union Pacific. "For example, the RMCC implemented a training program that enabled critical call dispatchers to communicate more effectively with hearing-impaired callers."
Representatives from Union Pacific's RMCC and Police Department accepted the accreditation during CALEA's conference in Winston-Salem, N.C.
CALEA was established in 1979 as a result of combined efforts of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), National Organization of Black Law Enforcement (NOBLE), National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) and the Police Executive Research Fund (PERF) to establish a law enforcement credentialing authority. According to CALEA, only 17 percent of U.S. law enforcement agencies are accredited.

Lightning 1.9b2 is now available on addons.mozilla.org. It is compatible to Thunderbird 17 and its betas, which will also be released as Thunderbird 17 ESR. This means testing is more important than ever, since this is a version that will stick around a bit longer.
This is why we need you! Without your testing work, possibly critical bugs might go by unnoticed. Not only does this mean extra pain for the end user, it also means more work for us to do emergency releases.
Please take a moment to download Thunderbird 17 beta and Lightning 1.9b2 and report any issues you find. There have been quite a few fixes in printing support and some drastic changes to the cached calendar / offline support. Your main area of testing should therefore be printing and any kind of cached calendar, for example with a CalDAV server or the Provider for Google Calendar. For those of you using WCAP, support for the cache has been restored in this release too.
Of course I'm eager to hear about problems in any other area, so give it a try and either comment here or file a bug!

TLDEF Files Suit on Behalf of Transgender Man Fired from Male-Only Job
First-Ever Lawsuit to Challenge Discriminatory View That Transgender Men Cannot Work As Men
April 11, 2011 – Last Friday, TLDEF filed a lawsuit on behalf of a transgender man who was fired from a male-only job solely because he is transgender. This is the first lawsuit to challenge the firing of a transgender person from a job where being male or female is a job qualification. We broke the story in today's New York Times.
In June 2010, defendant Urban Treatment Associates LLC, based in Camden, New Jersey, hired plaintiff El'Jai Devoureau (large photo) as a urine monitor for men. His job responsibilities included monitoring male outpatients as they provided urine samples for drug testing. On his second day of work, Urban Treatment was told that Mr. Devoureau had transitioned from female to male and fired him on the spot.
The lawsuit challenges Urban Treatment's termination of Mr. Devoureau as a violation of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, which protects transgender people from employment discrimination. In filings before the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights, Urban Treatment claimed Mr. Devoureau was not male and therefore not qualified for the job.
"This lawsuit challenges the discriminatory view that transgender men cannot work as men," said TLDEF executive director Michael Silverman. "El'Jai was qualified for the job and he performed it without complaint or incident," he added. "What matters in the workplace is how you do your job, not who you are."
Transgender people face tremendous discrimination in the workplace. Forty-seven percent of transgender people report being fired, or denied a job or promotion, just because of who they are. "I needed this job to support myself and my family. In this economy, jobs are really hard to find," said Mr. Devoureau. "They were happy to have me work there until they heard about my transition. I'm a hard worker and it's unfair that I was fired over something that has nothing to do with how well I did the job," added Mr. Devoureau.
Jim Walden, Rachel Lavery, Lauren Sager, and Benjamin Wastler of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and Robyn Gigl of Stein, McGuire, Pantages & Gigl, LLP serve as co-counsel with TLDEF for Mr. Devoureau.
The case is EL'JAI DEVOUREAU v. CAMDEN TREATMENT ASSOCIATES. LLC, t/a URBAN TREATMENT ASSOCIATES, INC., VAN MACALUSO, Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Camden County.

Dane County Judge Maryann Sumi has just blocked — again — Gov. Scott Walker's (R-WI) new law curtailing public employee unions, after the state Republican leadership moved last Friday to circumvent her previous order that blocked the law on procedural grounds. But that's not the end of the discussion, as it appears the state will continue to defy the order.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:
"Further implementation of the act is enjoined," said Dane County Judge Maryann Sumi.
She noted her original restraining order issued earlier this month was clear in saying that the state should not proceed with implementing the law. The Walker administration did so after the bill was published Friday by a state agency not included in Sumi's earlier temporary restraining order.
"Apparently that language was either misunderstood or ignored, but what I said was the further implementation of Act 10 was enjoined. That is what I now want to make crystal clear," she said.
But minutes later, outside the court room, Assistant Attorney General Steven Means said the legislation "absolutely" is still in effect.
The Wisconsin State Journal also reports that Sumi has threatened sanctions:
Sumi made her ruling at the end of a day of testimony in the open meetings lawsuit brought by Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne. The hearing is scheduled to conclude on Friday.
"Now that I've made my earlier order as clear as it possibly can be, I must state that those who act in open and willful defiance of the court order place not only themselves at peril of sanctions, they also jeopardize the financial and the governmental stability of the state of Wisconsin," Sumi said.
Following Sumi's order, the state Democratic Party released this statement from chairman Mike Tate:
"Judge Sumi's order is a clear rebuke of the lawless reign of Scott Walker. He and his Republican lapdogs have behaved as laws unto themselves in their union-busting state-rending power grab. At the end of the day, the law will prevail and the Constitution will endure against all the insult this crew has committed to the rule of law."
Interestingly, Jessica Arp from the local CBS affiliate in Madison also reports on Twitter: "Amended TRO [Temporary Restraining Order] also does NOT declare that the bill is not law. Sumi said she needed to hear more arguments to that effect." Thus, while the state is enjoined from implementing the law, there now exists a gray area as to whether it has officially become law — due to the legal hoops that the law has been through in the past week and a half.
A week and a half ago, Judge Sumi blocked the law on procedural grounds, ruling that a key conference committee used to advance the bill — and to get around the state Senate Dems' walkout from the state — had violated the state open-meetings law by failing to give proper 24-hours notice. The judge's order "restrain[ed] and enjoin[ed] the further implementation" of the law, including the prevention of Secretary of State Doug LaFollette (D) from publishing the act in the Wisconsin State Journal. The Journal acts as the state's official newspaper for the purpose of giving the public official notice of new laws — the final step for the law to take effect. That decision is now going through an appeals process, which remains up in the air.
This past Friday, however, state Republicans had the bill published by a different state agency — the Legislative Reference Bureau, which handles drafting and research for the legislature — according to the LRB's statutory requirement to publish legislation within ten days of enactment. Notably, the LRB itself has said that this publication does not constitute action that would put the law into effect. But state Republican leaders, including Walker's office and the state Attorney General, say that the law is now in effect.
And Monday, the Walker administration announced that it was now carrying out the law, with government employees' paychecks starting on April 21 to contain deductions for contributions to their health care and pensions — and to no longer deduct union dues.
As for today's proceedings, they focused mainly on taking testimony about the conference committee, and about last Friday's maneuver. LRB head Stephen Miller reaffirmed his position that the agency's publication did not cause the law to take effect, and discussed the sequence of events that led to the current situation. WisPolitics reports:
"I did not think that this act of the LRB made the law effective," Miller said today during testimony in the lawsuit over the budget repair bill. The LRB published the bill Friday despite a temporary restraining order preventing Secretary of State Doug La Follette from setting a date for publication.
Miller, along with LRB Deputy Chief Cathlene Hanaman, also detailed their meeting last Friday with Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, and Senate Chief Clerk Rob Marchant in which Fitzgerald requested that they publish the budget repair bill. Miller also said he briefly consulted with Deputy AG Kevin St. John, who reinforced his belief that the LRB was required to publish the bill and said the agency could be "subjected to mandamus" if it did not act.
In addition, there was some intense argument over whether Democratic Secretary of State Doug La Follette could get his own counsel, rather than the attorney provided to him by Republican state Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, a key Walker ally. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:
"There is so great a divergence now between the position that the attorney general is taking in this court and the court of appeals and now the Supreme Court and the interests of the secretary of state and the office of the secretary of state that I believe Mr. La Follette is entitled to independent counsel at the expense of the state," said Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi.
The issue arose after La Follette grew frustrated that his attorneys were not asking questions of a witness.
"My attorney won't ask a question on my behalf," La Follette told the court.
As Jessica Arp from the local CBS affiliate in Madison reports, there was initially some trouble getting a different lawyer for La Follette, including a false start with a lawyer sent by the governor's office who ultimately said he could not represent La Follette under the circumstance. There was also the question of who would pay if La Follette chose his own counsel, but he decided to take that course and address those problems later.

The school issued a statement Wednesday, informing parents that Principal Barry Fitzpatrick resigned his job as principal after admitting to having inappropriate communications with a student.
"We recently discovered communications from Mr. Fitzpatrick that he acknowledged were inappropriate, and we accepted his resignation. As required by law, we have reported these communications to the proper authorities," said school President George Andrews Jr. "Our students mean everything to us. That was immediately clear to me the day I first arrived at the Mount in 1987. As such, we have the highest expectations for our faculty and administrators, and when these standards are not met, we have a responsibility to our boys and their families to take action."
School officials have not released any specifics on the investigation.
In the meantime, Assistant Principal David Norton will serve as acting principal.

Gundlach Throws Party in Building of Firm That Fired Him
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
In the pantheon of bond-market rock stars (admittedly not the biggest of pantheons), Bill Gross may be John Lennon, but Jeffrey Gundlach has fast become Keith Richards times Sid Vicious, wrapped in some serious 80s New Romantic stylings of his own to boot. Gundlach's latest and greatest star turn may have come this week. As first reported by DealBreaker, Gundlach, who heads DoubleLine Capital, decided to celebrate the third anniversary of getting fired by his former employer, TCW, by throwing a party for all DoubleLine employees - at a restaurant in the lobby of TCW's office building.
To recap the backstory: In December 2009 TCW fired Gundlach, who promptly launched DoubleLine, taking several former TCW employees with him. TCW sued, alleging theft of trade secrets, and the protracted legal battle came replete with lurid details of a porn stash, sex toys and drug paraphernalia TCW claimed it found in Gundlach's office. By the time the suit was settled a year ago, DoubleLine and its flagship DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund (DLTNX) had grown into a powerhouse. Gundlach's face currently adorns the January 2013 cover of Bloomberg Markets magazine, with the cover story saying he's getting so bearish on bonds that he's turning toward stocks and hard assets.
Today, New York Magazine's Kevin Roose reports that he tracked down an attendee of Gundlach's party, held Tuesday at the Magnolia restaurant in Los Angeles:
The party was "very clearly" designed to rub Gundlach's recent successes in TCW's face, our source said. The interior of Magnolia is clearly visible as you exit TCW's office, and above the bar, Gundlach hung a banner that read "DoubleLine $50 Billion" — the amount of money his new firm has raised so far....
Midway through the evening, the Bond King himself gave a toast to his employees, many of whom had fled TCW with him three years earlier.
"Three years ago, there were more than 40 of you who jumped off the diving board with me, believing that there would be water in the pool by the time you got there," he said, raising a glass of Cristal. "I'll never forget that."
The party ran from two in the afternoon until past nine o'clock, and it seemed to have its intended effect: Over the course of the evening, many TCW employees on their way to the parking garage stopped in their tracks to gawk at the party going on inside. Some looked horrified; others laughed at Gundlach's audacity; a few even surreptitiously entered the restaurant to shake their old colleague's hand, our source said.
Prior to this, Gundlach was most recently in the non-bond tabloid news in September when thieves broke into his Santa Monica home, stealing his Porsche and $10 million in art, prompting Gundlach to offer $1.7 million in rewards for the return of the stolen art before it was recovered in an auto stereo shop among other places.

Everyone must stay at home to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
You should only leave the house for 1 of 4 reasons:
Important - These 4 reasons are exceptions – even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household.
There is separate advice about:
Do not leave your home if you have either:

Mulbarton SurgeryTel: 01603 977 477
We welcome patients in the villages of Mulbarton, Swardeston, Wreningham, Ashwellthorpe, Bracon Ash and the surrounding areas. A map is available below. If you are unsure whether you live in our practice area please pop in or telephone us for more information.
We ask that new patients fill in a standard NHS registration form as well as our practice patient questionnaire. These are available for downloading from the above "Registering Online" tab. Please bring the completed forms, one for each family member, to the surgery. Mulbarton is a family practice and we would not normally accept just one member of a household.
In accordance with a Government directive, all patients have been allocated a named doctor at the surgery they are registered with. However, you can still book an appointment to see whichever doctor you prefer, or whoever is available at a time most convenient to you. If you would like to know who your named doctor is, please ask at reception when you next visit.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are on regular repeat medication, you will need to see one of our doctors BEFORE a prescription can be issued.
If you have any questions please telephone 01603 977 477.
If you are unsure whether you live in the surgery area, please use the "Practice Boundary" tab above and search using your postcode, alternatively contact the surgery.
The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them. You can download the guide below.
A Patient Guide to GP Services
If you wish to register with the surgery and you live in our practice area then you can fill in a registration form and a patient questionnaire, one for each member of your household.
The questionnaires are helpful because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. Please make sure that you complete all sections of the form for each person in order that we can process them.
Please bring these to us as soon as possible in order that we can begin the registration process. If you have been on regular medication a repeat slip from your previous GP is also very useful.

New Patient Questionnaire can be downloaded here

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.
Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups. Open the leaflets in one of the following languages
If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.

"In the rare event of an erection lasting more than four hours, seek immediate medical help," cautions any of a number of E.D. drug commercials.
But what about an erection that lasts eight months?
That's what 44-year-old Delaware trucker Daniel Metzgar says happened to him after he had a three-piece inflatable device surgically implanted into his genitals in 2009. He's suing his urologist for malpractice in New Castle County (Del.) Superior Court.
The idea was for a pump in his scrotum to draw fluid from a reservoir inserted under his stomach wall, inflating cylinders inside the shaft.
Metzgar, who says his erectile dysfunction is a result of longtime diabetes, hoped the prosthetic would improve his sex life with his wife, Donna.
The device half-worked: He achieved an erection, but it wouldn't go away when it was supposed to.
Such a condition obviously can result in uncomfortable and embarrassing situations.
Metzgar couldn't ride his motorcycle. Going outside in the morning to pick up the newspaper risked treating the neighbors to an awkward display. He was forced to wear baggy pants and long shirts to camouflage his tumescence.
As Metzgar's attorney Michael C. Heyden put it, "Dan is stuck in this position."
"I could hardly dance, with an erection poking my partner," Metzgar told jurors.
Metzgar's urologist, Dr. Thomas J. Desperito, denied responsibility. His attorneys argued Metzgar should have known something was wrong after the surgery, when, according to the patient, his scrotum swelled to the size of a volleyball.
Instead he did nothing for four months. When he finally did come in, in April 2010, complaining of the constant erection and an infection, he was told to have the device removed, Desperito's attorneys say.
Metzgar, who lost his health insurance in 2009 after the surgery, says he didn't have the money to pay for the removal operation.
But he did get the prosthetic taken out four months later by another doctor after the tubing punctured his scrotum.
He claims scar tissue from the initial surgery has reduced the size of his penis by 50 percent and caused him to lose sensation.
Metzgar and his wife are seeking undisclosed damages against Desperito and his medical group, the Delaware News Journal reported.

This spectacular multi-angle video shows Guerlain Chicherit's attempt to beat the world record for the longest car jump, which is now held by Tanner Foust at 332 feet (101 meters). Chicherit tried save a 360 feet (109.7 meter) gap between a 20-ton steel ramp and a concrete landing surface. Fortunately, he didn't die.
There were other angles of the crash before, but this footage is so crystal clear and perfect. The slow motion anime-like shots are amazing. Action starts at 7:16, but I recommend watching the entire thing.

Gaining popularity quickly, almond milk has become a source of conversation in the health world. Almond milk is an excellent source of manganese, magnesium, vitamin B2 and E, tryptophan, phosphorous and copper. It's great with cereal or in a smoothie, but what about on your face? With all these beneficial vitamins and nutrients, it's no surprise one of its many roles is in promoting healthier and younger looking skin. Free radicals often cause irreversible damage to the skin; it contributes to collagen and elastin depletion. Collagen and elastin are important substances that give the skin its elasticity and firmness. The collagen and elastin supply of the skin are depleted after prolonged exposure to free radicals. As you get older, your body is unable to replenish the depleted supply; this is the primary cause of wrinkles, fine lines and other skin blemishes. Vitamin E, present in almond milk, protects the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals; this makes the skin healthy and younger-looking.
Almond milk is an essential ingredient in one of Lavera's facial cleansing regimen. This silky smooth, calming, and soothing cleanser is Lavera's Gentle Cleansing Milk. This product is for dry and sensitive skin, perfect for these dry and cold wintery months. The almond milk will replenish the nutrients your everyday life takes away from your face leaving your skin refreshed, calm, and ready for the next day. After your face is freshly cleansed with Lavera's Gentle Cleansing Milk, even your complexion with Lavera's almond based Gentle Facial Toner. To complete your regimen try Lavera's Revitalizing Face Mask. This is proven to improve skin elasticity through natural elements such as organic wild rose fluids (which hydrates, rejuvenates, and regenerates skin) and organic avocado oil (protecting skin from dehydration).

Grafton priest leads the way
CLARENCE Valley celebrates the first Grafton woman to be accepted into the role of Archdeacon this morning as Reverend Gail Hagon of the Anglican Diocese of Grafton takes on the most senior position in the life of the church.
"While I accept my new role with honour, in some ways I'm not about hierarchical structure," Rev Hagon said.
"I am passionate about what I do and what I believe in."
This is not the first time Rev Hagon has been a trailblazer.
In 1995 Rev Hagon was the first woman in Grafton to become a priest and soon after became the first to take charge of her own parish, which required the reverend and her family to relocate to Wauchope.
At the time Rev Hagon told The Daily Examiner she didn't believe that gender was an issue and she continues to maintain that position.
"It's like most professions, for some people it's not a gender thing and I have found many to be very accepting," she said.
"Others can't get past the barrier. But personally I feel loved and appreciated by my parish. I believe every- one brings gifts and I treasure the gifts I have been given."
Rev Hagon said one of the key areas of focus at the moment for the church was finding new ways to connect with the wider community.
"We need to redefine our place in the community and ask how we can serve the people best to enhance community life," se said.
"I think for me it's about getting to know people and exploring where God is for them."
A service will be held at Grafton Cathedral from 9.30am today with Bishop Keith Slater commissioning three archdeacons, including Rev Hagon, and four mission-support officers who will be scattered throughout the diocese.
Everyone is welcome.

Car Insurance FAQs
Do I need car insurance?
Anyone who drives a vehicle is legally obliged to have insurance against the risk of causing damage or injury to another driver, when using that vehicle. Insurance also covers the driver themselves. Anyone caught without insurance runs the risk of court action, a criminal prosecution and a ban from the road.
So you need insurance for driving cars, but as one might expect there are a huge number of factors that affect the premium costs.
What types of car insurance exist?
There are generally three types:
- Third party: covering liability for injury to others, property damage, and liability while towing a trailer.
- Third party fire and theft: same as above, but also covering fire and theft including any damage to your vehicle inflicted while the theft took place.
- Comprehensive: same as above, but also covering loss or damage to your vehicle and its windscreen, and other things such as medical expenses.
What affects the cost of car insurance?
- Postcode
- Make and model of car
- Security of car – e.g. where it is parked, use of immobilisers
- Driving history – number of claims etc.
- Social demographic – see below
- Haggling! Don't be afraid to negotiate; after all, there are plenty of other insurers out there…
- Telematics – installing a black box so that an insurer can monitor your driving habits and adjust them accordingly is a good way to drive down prices. Check if your insurer offers such a service.
How do my life circumstances affect the cost of my premium?
Social demographic is one of the factors that is most tricky to understand, and each insurer has their own guidelines and algorithms to arrive at a final cost. One might understand mileage and speeding tickets being factors, but what about occupation and number of children?
Insurers do not reveal their exact reasoning for arriving at a particular figure. Your job could have a major effect, for example; a job that requires plenty of driving such as a rep or even a journalist could cost you more when it comes to renewal.
Do I need business insurance?
Not if the only driving you do is commuting to and from work.
There are various business use classes, to cover anything from driving to multiple places of work and also covering your spouse, to delivery of light goods, through to occupations such as taxi driving or courier services.
Do I have to own the car to insure it?
Not always, although this is by far the most common scenario. You can insure a car for someone else, such as a son, daughter or partner, and you can also insure yourself before you buy it. You will be required to tell the insurer that you are not the owner or registered keeper, and some may refuse to insure you in this instance.
Can I drive someone else's car?
Possibly, although you should check the terms of your cover before getting behind the wheel. There may be certain classes of drivers who cannot drive other cars under their insurance, such as newly-passed drivers.
How important is No Claims Bonus?
Ideally, drivers who have not made a claim for several years (or decades) should be paying a very low sum for their insurance, as they are clearly less of a risk for insurers than someone who has been involved in several accidents. However, the reality is sometimes more complex.
For each year that you drive without making a claim, your insurer will award one year no claim bonus (NCB). Certainly, the first five years of building up an NCB are beneficial, as after that costs will generally start to fall rapidly.
After a certain period of driving (such as five years) a driver can pay to protect their NCB, so that the discount endures even if they have an accident. However, the way a discount is applied varies between insurers. Most allow you to make one claim in a year, or two claims in three years, and still keep your NCB. At the end of each year make sure you keep your proof of NCB, so you can use it for renewal.
What else do I need to know?
- As tempting as it may be to tell a white lie to lower your premium, there really is little point in being dishonest. If you are caught the insurer could cancel your policy or charge the 'correct' amount. A non-disclosure will also need to be admitted on all future applications. However, there may be some exceptions if technical errors are made.
- As with most insurance types, it is usually far cheaper to pay in one lump sum than monthly.
How can I get a cheap quote?
One way to get a cheap quote is through using a comparison website. We have partnered with Quotezone.co.uk who compare 100+ car insurance providers and are 100% independent meaning they are not owned or have investment from any insurance company.

This week, Beijing's air pollution is way above safe levels again, the world's largest coal company has been forced to change its water strategy, and the UN panel looking at options to act against climate change is expected to report that global levels of carbon pollution shot up rapidly in the past decade.
These three occurrences have their roots in China's insatiable appetite for coal. China burns about half of the world's coal and is the most 'coal-addicted' country among the world's top energy consumers. Its emissions from coal burning caused over half of the increase in the world's carbon pollution between 2002 and 2012.
To illustrate how fast things have been moving in China's energy system: in 2010 alone, the new coal-fired power plant capacity that China brought in was equal to all of Germany's existing capacity.
It's hardly surprising that the breakneck pace of change has come at enormous cost to public health and the environment. Not only suffocating the urban population and draining the country's arid west of precious water resources, but also adding to the disruption of the Earth's climate system.
But driven by severe air pollution episodes and an increasingly informed and dissatisfied public the situation is changing fast, and to the good - with global implications which the US and EU need to recognise.
Just a couple of years ago, the idea that there was a limit to China's growth in carbon pollution from coal seemed like science fiction. Now there's fresh hope that it will happen. If recently introduced coal control measures are implemented in full, China's emissions in 2020 could be close to a level consistent with keeping global warming below 2 degrees C. (That's the ceiling we have to avoid exceeding if we want to avoid the worst climate impacts). New measures by China to further limit use of coal are also in the pipeline.
So what's happening and why?
As Greenpeace East Asia shows in a briefing released today, China's headlong rush towards coal is approaching an end. To cut air pollution, coal burning is to be slashed in the country's most populous eastern provinces. Twelve of China's 34 provinces, that burn 44% of the country's coal, are committed to control their coal use. Some, like Beijing, have pledged ambitious cuts as steep as 50% in only five years.
Together, the coal control measures by the 12 provinces mean reducing coal burn by around 350 million tonnes (Mt) by 2017 and 655 Mt by 2020, compared to earlier anticipated trends. In terms of carbon pollution, it will avoid around 700 million tonnes of CO2 in 2017 and 1,300 million tonnes in 2020. (To compare, 1,300 Mt is the same as Canada's and Australia's total emissions combined).
For the measures to be effective, though, requires ensuring that cutting coal use in China's east doesn't lead to emissions rising in the west.
While it is air pollution concerns that have triggered the slow-down in growth of China's coal use, it is water usage that's likely to determine the pace of deceleration. That was confirmed last week in a meeting between Greenpeace and Shenhua, a Chinese state-owned enterprise that is the world's largest coal company.
Back in July 2013, Greenpeace released a report that exposed how one of Shenhua's coal facilities in Inner Mongolia was aggressively extracting water from that arid region. Despite initial denials from the company, opposition by the local community and the risk of a water shortage for the coal plant itself eventually lead Shenhua to drop plans to extract more groundwater from the area.
Both the constraints of air quality and the scarcity of water send a clear message that China's coal use is under increasing pressure from different angles.
Internationally, China, perhaps more than any other country, now has the potential to be a game-changer during UN talks aimed at adopting a new climate treaty in Paris, in 2015.
Taking action at home adds credibility to demands for action by others. But a major shift in China's climate change negotiating strategy is also urgently required. If China does become more proactive and makes a significant pledge to binding cuts in greenhouse gas emissions beyond 2020, its leadership could be the catalyst for more ambitious steps by all countries.

May 2016 Empire State Manufacturing Index Now Contracting.
Written by Steven Hansen
The Empire State Manufacturing Survey dropped like a rock into contraction.
As this index is very noisy, it is hard to understand what these massive moves up or down mean - however this regional manufacturing survey is normally one of the more pessimistic.
Econintersect reminds you that this is a survey (a quantification of opinion). Please see caveats at the end of this post. However, sometimes it is better not to look to deeply into the details of a noisy survey as just the overview is all you need to know.
From the report:
z empire1.PNG
The above graphic shows that when the index is in negative territory that it is not a signal of a recession - of 8 times in negative territory (since the Great Recession) - no recession occurred. Conversely, a positive number is likely to be indicating economic expansion. Historically, when it does make a correct negative prediction it can be timely - this index was only two months late in going negative after what was eventually determined to be the start of the 2007 recession.
This survey has a lot extra bells and whistles which take attention away from the core questions: (1) are orders and (2) are unfilled orders (backlog) improving? Econintersect emphasizes these two survey points - and both declined.
Respondents believe the level of unfilled orders (backlog) is has been negative since 2011. Unfilled order contraction can be a signal for a recession - and remains contraction this month.

Federal Reserve Industrial Production - Actual Data (hyperlink to report):
Holding this and other survey's Econintersect follows accountable for their predictions, the following graph compares the hard data from Industrial Products manufacturing subindex (dark blue bar) and US Census manufacturing shipments (lighter blue bar) to the Dallas Fed survey (light blue bar).
Comparing Surveys to Hard Data:
z survey1.png
In the above graphic, hard data is the long bars, and surveys are the short bars. The arrows on the left side are the key to growth or contraction.
Caveats on the use of Empire State Manufacturing Survey:
This is a survey, a quantification of opinion - not facts and data. Surveys lead hard data by weeks to months, and can provide early insight into changing conditions. Econintersect finds they do not necessarily end up being consistent compared to hard economic data that comes later, and can miss economic turning points.
According to Bloomberg:
This Empire State Survey is very noisy - and has shown recessionary conditions throughout the second half of 2011 - and no recession resulted. Overall, since the end of the 2007 recession - this index has indicated two false recession warnings.
No survey is accurate in projecting employment - and the Empire State Manufacturing Survey is no exception. Although there are some general correlation in trends, month-to-month movements have not correlated with the BLS Service Sector Employment data.
Over time, there is a general correlation with real manufacturing data - but month-to-month conflicts are frequent.

SP.Dough brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 151 Designs von 30 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are looking for a Logo that is Engaging and Welcoming. We want it to express a Fun, Hip, and Modern feel, with just the right amount of Retro infusion.
Our original ideas included: Font only, possible Neon sign usage, black and white color.
But as I have been watching and studying the site and all the contests, I have been so impressed with the submissions that I am choosing to keep any 'limitations' very light. I am Very interested in seeing any and all Creative (!) ideas. So please stretch and submit anything that "Feels" ...oh I don't know...Oddly Compelling.
We hope to use the winning design for the storefront sign, all stationary, marketing, web, etc.
I will log in, rate, and give feedback everyday. I really hope to find a winner, because all the next steps to opening our business hinge on this decision!
So: 5 stars = Winner!
4 stars = getting SO close
3 stars = heading in the right direction
2 stars = an element could be developed
1 star = thank you for trying
Photo Booth (or the Photo Booth)
Our business will include retail sales and photography services. Our target customers will include College kids and their visiting families, tourists, and local niche markets. Our services will lean to the non-traditional, and span the world of Digital as well as Darkroom. So we want the Logo to Welcome ALL for a Fun and engaging experience.
Regarding the name; family, friends, us...we are split 50/50 for the use of "the" before Photo Booth. At this stage I would love to see both options, but I would request that "the" be lower case and downplayed relative to Photo Booth.
We also plan to develop several retail lines, so setting up an on-going business with a designer would be a plus.
I have really enjoyed watching this site for a couple of months now, and I am constantly impressed with the quality of the entries. I am open to all ideas, and very excited to work with such motivated designers. I hope you can take this to places I never thought possible. Thank you ahead of time, for all your efforts, ideas, and time invested. It is truly appreciated.
- Fresh, Fun, Hip yet cooly modern...with just the right amount of Retro added to the feel.
-Color interest is white/black, but definitely not limited to it. Cool color schemes will work best with inside decor.
- any feedback to me that will help or enhance this contest...b/c I just don't know what I don't know!
- I guess I would request it to be delivered in vector format
- nothing frilly
- no camera clip art

From the smallest plants and animals invisible to the human eye to entire ecosystems, every living thing depends on and is intricately linked by water. Tune in to 88.1 WYPR every Tuesday at 5:45 p.m. as John brings to the surface important issues and fascinating discoveries making waves in the world today. April 2, 2014: The Sounds of Spring Peepers & Wood Frogs Click here to listen to John discuss the chorus of sounds produced by frogs to attract mates during the breeding season! Through the winter, woodlands and meadows are mostly quiet at night. But with the arrival of spring rains and warming temperatures, that silence is broken by loud choruses of wood frogs and spring peepers. These are the first frog species to come out of hibernation and begin the year's amphibian breeding season. Spring peepers are small, just one inch in length, but you wouldn't know it from their sound. Each peeper can produce a call as loud as 90 decibels. Multiply that by the number of frogs in a wetland habitat, and you have a sound that can rival that of a rock concert. Photo of spring peeper via Wiki Commons. Why so noisy? That's how the male spring peepers attract females from the surrounding woodlands. As the females come out of hibernation, they are carrying between 200 and 1,000 eggs, and the females are outnumbered by the males at about 9 to 1. Competition is intense, and females choose males based on the quality of his song. Because of this competition, males wrestle for the best spots at the chorusing site. Interestingly, Dr. Don Forester and David Lykens of Towson University discovered that some spring peeper males were successful in breeding with females through a very deceptive strategy. Because calling requires a huge amount of energy, some spring peeper males, known as satellite males, don't call at all. Instead, these satellite males save energy by positioning themselves near the top singers. They then intercept females moving toward the calling males. Satellite males are smaller than calling males and would probably be at a disadvantage in trying to attract females with a less impressive voice. Though the spring peeper is often considered the first frog to emerge from hibernation and therefore an early sign that winter is indeed over, the wood frog is usually ahead of the peeper. In fact, in mild winters, wood frogs have been observed arriving in woodland pools as early as February. Photo of a wood frog via Wiki Commons. Wood frogs are often referred to as "explosive breeders" because they arrive in large numbers and have a short breeding season, usually only lasting the first few weeks of late winter or early spring. Wood frogs almost exclusively lay their eggs in vernal pools, which are small temporary bodies of water that form in depressions. Because these pools dry over the summer, wood frogs must lay their eggs, the eggs must hatch, and tadpoles must fully develop and metamorphose before the pools dry. The wood frog's strategy is to arrive first and maximize the time needed to make it the entire way through the process. Wood frog tadpoles often dine on the newly laid eggs of later arriving frog species. Even as these frogs perpetuate their life cycle, they do face challenges. Their well-being is intricately linked to the survival of their woodland home and their vernal pools. Be considerate of these habitats in your neighborhood by preventing trash and other pollution from traveling through your waterways. Slow down while driving on warm spring nights, allowing amphibians to migrate safely across roadways. And when you pay these amazing creatures a visit in their natural habitat, observe but don't disturb. Want to buff up a bit more on your amphibian knowledge?
