READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
While most Americans would confess to not being particularly big fans of the government shutdown, the always outspoken Ann Coulter joined Piers Morgan Wednesday night, and during their live conversation the author went as far as to applaud the work of the individuals who effectively brought Washington to a screeching halt three weeks ago:
"I really like what these guys have been doing," Coulter began.
Seemingly in shock, the "Piers Morgan Live" host asked Coulter whom specifically she was targeting with her praise:
"Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, the House Republicans. I think the last three weeks have been magnificent," noted the 51-year-old Conservative political commentator, referring to the last 16 days during which hundreds of thousands of federal employees have been furloughed.
When Morgan tried to argue with his guest, pointing out numerous polls that have shown the average American feels otherwise towards the Republicans, Coulter countered:
"I'm so glad you mentioned that ... this has been driving me absolutely crazy," she said. "These two polls [Gallup, Wall Street Journal] are pure propaganda."
Watch the clip for more of Morgan's interview with Coulter, and for the next edition of "Piers Morgan Live," watch CNN every night at 9.

Has anyone clued into the notion that Ted Cruz cannot be a candidate for President of the United states? He was born in Calgary Alberta, Canada!
Actually, being a natural-born citizen of the United States does not mean that you've got to be born in the United States. It just means that you must have acquired US citizenship at birth. Cruz's mother was an American, and so, by the Naturalization Act of 1790, he became an American citizen at birth.
Why are we still paying attention to this lunatic hate-filled double-speaking woman? Stop giving her platforms.. She spews lies and partial truths and spinomatic vitriol constantly for the SOLE PURPOSE OF SELLING HER BOOKS. She is hackling all the way to the bank. Stop. Interviewing. This. Greedy. Spiteful. Lying. Wench.
you go girl I myself cannot stand that hateful fake as skunk she really smell.
Bachman has shown herself to be a hate monger, a liar, off the charts, sarcastic, anti middle class – anti women's rights- and very pro wealth- pro corp power- like all Tea baggers . Fox pays millions to these folks to lie, smear, tell 1/2 truths.. – leave out pertinent facts, They Call Obama nasty names The NO spin zone spins ALL the time. Courtesy of Hannity & his far right,, guests Rush Cantor Ryan DeMint Palen & their loyal followers. do the same .
To run congress the U.S. taxpayer is paying $123 million per year just for salaries for the 500 + bozos (members) in congress. To run the entire legislative branch is costing the taxpayer over $5,000,000,000.00 ($5 billion) per year.
It's got to be, by far, the most expensive circus in the world. All that is missing is their clown suits.
I watched the interview with Ann Coulter. I found it funny that she wrote a book on how the Republican party needs to win races and in the same breath said she loved Ted Cruz. Oh, and Hilary Clinton is not as popular as people think???? Wow, I turned to a different channel.
so what feeling was she supposed to have? Hatred?
No more interviews with Skeletor. Her vial, hate filled vitriol is extremely bigoted, myopic, and ultimately self promoting.
You could not have described her any better.
Does any one know why is she invited to this show? It looks like Piers can't get any one else beside Trump & Coulter. What a great self promoting high on ego these two name.
What a great self promoting high on ego these make.
Who poisoned Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat? Why does the media protect the chosen few?
Members of hit squad team never caught of killing in Dubai using false passports.
Were you simply born STUPID or does it just come that easily to your brainless head?!?
Ouch ! Is truth so difficult to live with Ted?
Best comment from Ann. The Dems want to control are lives. The Republicans only want control my daughters reproductive rights, deny adequate health are to millions, prevent gays spousal equal rights under the law, foul the environment for short sided dollars gains, promote ludicrous gun laws, bring christian prayer back to school given the chance. Set up cameras in my bed room , well maybe not that far, but they want to make sure what my lover and I do is up to their morals. And on and on she goes.
Trust us abby, no one wants to look at you and your lover. There are enough horror movies on cable to satisfy us.
What happened to the CNN that I use to enjoy watching so well. Looks to me as if it has turned into FOX/CNN get NEWT GINGRICH OFF OF CNN or I'm going to quit watching it and start watching MICKEY MOUSE channel at least he isn't spewing out republican politics all the dang time. If enough people complain maybe they will fire his ass.
Watching CNN is like watching FOX .
To sole reason piers still has a show is because of people like Ann appear on it. She is doing him a favor by drumming up the left wing lynch mob like you people who have nothing in your lives but hate.
I ALWAYS change the channel when Ann Coulter is on!. She is a terrible woman and should NOT be given airtime. I can only think of her outrageous comments about the 9 11 widows. I wonder how she would act if she was one of the 9 11 widows. I turned off CNN last night and again tonight!
Good for you Phyllis.
Lets turn the TV off each time crazy people are given airtime. Our media stinks.
I have to say that I was very surprised to hear that she wrote a book, I would think that the first step would be to first read a book. but Skeletor is full of surprises. I usually pay no attention when I see here name or face
Oh dear, the crazy woman is back again why? Has CNN been sold to Murdoch?
Name calling and rude remarks. Typical liberal responses to the truth.

We've been waiting forever and a half for NFC technology to take over our lives and rid ourselves of silly wallets and credit cards. Visa is creating a digital wallet service that'll make all that real later this year.
Visa's idea is to let you store your Visa accounts, non-Visa accounts and even online payment services like PayPal into one digital wallet. This way, you can pay for goods online with this do-everything wallet, with one account rather than various cards and different accounts. You can customise which cards you want to use but it's simplifying how you pay.
And that sounds fine and all but what's more interesting to us is that the digital wallet is going to use NFC technology to let customers make offline, real life purchases with their phones too. They'll be using Visa's payWave app and NFC-capable phones to make it happen. I'm so ready for this. [GigaOM]

Since its founding in 2012, Aereo has been a thorn in the side of traditional television broadcasters. On Tuesday, a federal judge declined a request for an injunction stopping the company's services in Boston.
Aereo uses thousands of tiny antennas to capture over-the-air broadcasts that are then retransmitted to customers over the Internet. TV stations have consistently argued that this amounts to thievery of their content.
Unfortunately for the stations, Aereo has consistently been victorious in the courts. Back in July 2013, a coalition of New York broadcasters' request to have their case heard before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals was denied.
Hearst Stations, which owns the ABC affiliate WCVB-TV in Boston, had argued in its July 2013 filing that Aereo's business model relies on infringing upon "WCVB's exclusive right to transmit its works in public," and therefore constitutes copyright infringement.
In a 20-page memorandum and order (PDF), Judge Nathaniel Gorton found that Aereo's business model is actually more akin to a DVR. He specifically cited the 2008 Cablevision remote DVR case, as well as the original Second Circuit ruling earlier this year.
"After considering the relevant factors, the Court finds that a preliminary injunction is unwarranted," wrote Judge Gorton. "Hearst has not demonstrated a sufficient likelihood of success on the merits nor the requisite irreparable harm and therefore it is not entitled to that 'extraordinary and drastic remedy.'"
These cases don't appear to be going away anytime soon. A group of Utah broadcasters filed a related suit against Aereo on Monday. For its part, Aereo is continuing full steam ahead; the firm just launched its new Android app on Thursday.

Bath and Northampton played out a dramatic 19-19 draw under the Recreation Ground floodlights – a result which still leaves the Aviva Premiership play-off places in doubt.
Second-placed Saints are not absolutely sure of a home semi-final and Bath, in third, can still be denied a play-off place by Harlequins, who they meet next Saturday in the final round of games.
The highlight of an incident-packed game was a stunning individual try by Bath fly-half George Ford who was responsible for all his side's points. Saints' try was scored by left wing Jamie Elliott with Stephen Myler's boot responsible for the rest of their points.
The game ended in controversy when Courtney Lawes was flagged by touch judge Ashley Rowden for a late hit on Ford, within kicking range. But referee Matthew Carley overruled him after checking the TV replay.
Northampton, buoyed by a fifth minute penalty from Myler, spent the first quarter camped in and around the Bath 22. The pressure was unrelenting as the home defence was forced to repulse wave after wave of attacks.
It was one of many do-or-die tackles that ended Rob Webber's match after just 16 minutes, the hooker getting his knee trapped as he felled number eight Sam Dickinson. It was agonisingly bad luck for Webber only just back from a 10-week absence with ankle trouble.
Ross Batty came off the bench and immediately got stuck in to his defensive duties and Bath were relieved to see a drop goal attempt by Myler drift wide.
Although rarely out of their own half, the one ray of hope for Bath was in their scrummaging which earned them a penalty which Ford kicked to the corner. Saints stopped the catch-and-drive but eventually had to confront the Bath scrum again and folded under pressure, allowing Ford to kick an equalising penalty on 29 minutes.
Myler's hanging restart gave rise to another 'tackle in the air' ruling by the TMO but only a penalty rather than a yellow card against Dave Attwood – and Myler's kick was wide anyway. Almost straight away the fly-half was offered a simpler chance to put Northampton 6-3 ahead.
The lead was short-lived however as Bath, winning more ball in the visitors' half and looking more confident as a result, forced Saints to drift offside at a ruck and Ford was on target again. He might have given his side a half-time lead but was wide with a drop goal attempt with the last kick of the half.
Bath came out all guns firing after the break. Ford was wide with a penalty kick but did not let that faze him as he responded with a brilliant individual try on 45 minutes.
Referee Carley was playing advantage to Bath when Ford evaded a lunging tackle by Lawes, slipped between two more Northampton forwards and outpaced Ben Foden to score by the posts, then converted his own try.
The lead lasted only eight minutes though as Northampton forced a succession of penalties to build pressure in the Bath 22 and Myler deftly slipped a pass to Jamie Elliott to finish off in the left corner. Myler drew the sides level with the conversion.
Unfortunately for Bath, Batty joined Webber on the sidelines with a shoulder injury, which left only replacement loosehead Nathan Catt to fill in at hooker – and he was prepared to scrummage too. Bath won the resulting penalty and Ford banged it over from nearly 50 metres.
Northampton then lost Lawes to the sin-bin for needlessly taking out Anthony Watson off the ball as the match entered the last quarter.
They were still dangerous, as George Pisi showed by touching down from a ball by Elliott but the score was disallowed for a forward pass. It was left to Myler again to level the scores at 16-16 with a 67th minute penalty.
With flanker Guy Mercer now tasked with line-out throwing, Bath's set piece was now anything but an advantage. Ford again attempted a drop goal with five minutes remaining but the effort was mis-hit.
With the tireless Carl Fearns continuing to batter away in midfield, Bath forced a priceless penalty at the breakdown and Ford made it 19-16 with two minutes remaining.
The drama did not end there as Anthony Perenise was shown a yellow card for a dangerous tackle on Mike Hayward. Myler stepped up and converted the penalty to earn the draw.

Leading Off: Injuries Mounting For Astros; Phils Vs D-Backs
A look at what's happening around the majors today:
The Houston Astros are hoping for good news on All-Star outfielder George Springer, who exited Sunday's loss to the Dodgers after hurting his left thumb on a headfirst slide. It's unclear how long the 2017 World Series MVP might be out. "He was in a lot of pain," manager AJ Hinch said. "He is going to get evaluated. Other than that I have no idea." Before the game, the defending champs put pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. on the 10-day disabled list with right elbow discomfort. And star second baseman Jose Altuve (right knee soreness) was sent back to Houston for further examination. Last year's AL MVP won't come off the DL when eligible this week.
Jake Arrieta (9-6, 3.32 ERA) pitches for the Phillies, looking for their sixth straight victory when they visit Arizona in a matchup of NL division leaders. Zack Godley (12-6, 4.46) goes for the Diamondbacks.
Cole Hamels makes his second start for the Cubs when they open a three-game series at last-place Kansas City. Hamels was acquired in a July 27 trade with Texas. The veteran lefty had been struggling with the Rangers, but he struck out nine while pitching five effective innings in a 9-2 victory at Pittsburgh in his Chicago debut last Wednesday.
Will the fading Angels have Mike Trout back in the lineup when they host Detroit? The star outfielder has missed four consecutive games with a nagging right wrist injury. Trout hasn't played since getting hurt while sliding on a steal attempt Wednesday at Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old slugger said Saturday night he still has soreness when he swings and throws. Trout had been expected back earlier, but his wrist hasn't responded to treatment as hoped. X-rays and an MRI revealed inflammation. Trout is batting .309 with 30 home runs.
Lance Lynn makes his first start for the Yankees, facing the White Sox in Chicago. The right-hander was acquired from Minnesota last Monday and will take the rotation spot previously held by an inconsistent Sonny Gray, who was demoted to the bullpen. Lynn threw 4 1/3 shutout innings of relief with five strikeouts in his New York debut. The Yankees, coming off a four-game sweep by the rival Red Sox, have lost a season-high five straight and trail Boston by 9 1/2 games in the AL East.
Matt Harvey returns to Citi Field with Cincinnati and is expected to speak with reporters. The former Mets ace, traded to the Reds in May, is not scheduled to pitch in the three-game series. Noah Syndergaard (6-2, 2.98 ERA) gets the ball for New York in the opener against Homer Bailey (1-8, 5.87).

Do you have health insurance?
Lea Brown: "Yes. I'm one of the lucky ones. I work at the University of Virginia. For many years before that, I was a public school teacher, so I've almost always had excellent healthcare coverage."
Reginald Jackson: "At the moment I do not, but I'll soon be beginning a new position that affords an insurance plan. It's good not to be a lacking statistic."
Caitlin Johnson: "I do. I'm lucky. It's through UVA. I don't have dental, and that's become a major problem. I have noticed the co-pays have gone up this year."

Committees, Commissions continue the work of General Convention
Note: this is the another in an ongoing series discussing the governance of The Episcopal Church.
In a few days, the CCABs of GC will gather at a huge meeting in the Windy City.
In regular, non-church language, that means that the Committees, Commissions, Agencies and Boards (CCABs) of General Convention (GC) of The Episcopal Church will be meeting in Chicago, Ill.
Committees, Commissions, Agencies and Boards of General Convention are commonly referred to by their abbreviation: CCABs. The first CCAB meeting, at which most of the CCABs are invited, is slated for November in Chicago, IL.
The Rev. Canon Gregory Straub, Executive Officer and Secretary of General Convention, explained, "Between General Conventions, the Convention"s work is carried out by interim bodies: Executive Council, Standing Committees of Executive Council, Standing Commissions of the General Convention, Committees of Executive Council and Task Forces, Agencies and Boards."
The areas of interest range from domestic issues to international activities, liturgical topics to social justice issues, and lots in between.
Members Joint Standing Committees and Committees of a House of General Convention, as well as some Executive Council Committees, are appointed for triennium that is, for the time up until the 2012 General Convention.. All Standing Commissions and most Committees of Council have six year terms, staggered.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori appoints bishops, while the President of the House of Deputies Bonnie Anderson appoints priests/deacons and lay persons.
"Only the members of the Joint Standing Committees and Committees of a House of General Convention need be deputies," Straub noted. "Most clerical and lay members of CCABs are not deputies."
Additionally, staff liaisons are appointed to the Standing Commissions.
Roles of appointed bodies
Straub outlined the role and responsibilities of the Standing Commissions. "These are bodies, created by General Convention and enshrined in Canon, that have on-going areas of inquiry. They do not sunset, because their work is of continuing interest to the General Convention and to give them to freedom to engage in work that lasts longer than three years."
Straub spoke about the reasons for the November meeting: "CCABs will receive together their legislation from General Convention, which will enable all bodies to know other bodies" work."
He also noted, "Standing Commissions and Committees do not do program work. That is the staff"s responsibility. CCABs generate policy through their legislation proposed to General Convention or to Executive Council. Once enacted by General Convention it becomes staff"s to execute."
The role of staff
Straub reported that staff liaisons have been appointed to all Standing Commissions by the Presiding Bishop.
"They are the spokespersons for the Presiding Bishop"s point of view," he said. "If she has concerns to raise or questions to ask, she does it through staff. The CCABs, in turn, can send concerns and questions through staff to the Presiding Bishop. It works both ways."
Straub differentiated between the role of staff and CCABs. "Staff is there to provide information, to inform, guide and counsel. Likewise, CCABs are not there to micro-manage staff work. The relationship should be collaborative: the interim body crafts policy, which if adopted and funded by the General Convention, may be staff"s to carry out in the next or a subsequent triennium."
Also, he added, the staff advises the CCABs in crafting resolutions that will help the program areas or department and the wider church.
He further noted, "The Standing Committees do not direct the work of staff, but they ensure that the work mandated by resolutions of General Convention or of Executive Council is being carried out."
What are the CCABs?
Among the CCABs are:
Fourteen Standing Commissions: Anglican and International Peace with Justice Concerns; Communications and Information Technology; Constitution and Canons; Ecumenical and Interreligious Relations; Health; Lifelong Christian Formation and Education; Liturgy and Music; Ministry Development; Mission and Evangelism of the Episcopal Church; Social Justice and Public Policy; Small Congregations; Stewardship and Development; Structure of the Church; World Mission
Three Joint Standing Committees: Nominations; Planning & Arrangements; Program, Budget and Finance.
Nine Executive Council Committees: Science, Technology and Faith, Status of Women, Anti-Racism, Indigenous Ministries, Investment, Jubilee Advisory, Economic Justice Loan, HIV/AIDS and Corporate Social Relations.
Two House of Deputies Committees: State of the Church; and Study Committee on Church Governance and Polity.
The list with roster of members is here: http://www.episcopalchurch.org/gc/ccab/ccab.htm
The Episcopal Church welcomes all who worship Jesus Christ in 110 dioceses and three regional areas in 16 nations. The Episcopal Church is a member province of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

The Community-built Open Source Online HTML Editor
Xinha (pronounced like Xena, the Warrior Princess) is a powerful WYSIWYG HTML editor component that works in all current browsers. Its configurabilty and extensibility make it easy to build just the right editor for multiple purposes, from a restricted mini-editor for one database field to a full-fledged website editor. Its liberal, BSD licence makes it an ideal candidate for integration into any kind of project.
Xinha is Open Source, and we take this seriously. There is no company that owns the source but a community of professionals who just want Xinha to be the best tool for their work.
November 2019 - Version 1.5.4 Release
A quiet year on Xinha with it just ticking along as usual. A few small updates were made since the big 1.5 Release in 2018 and upgrading to 1.5.4 is encouraged.
1.5.4 fixes a small issue with highlighting some text and hitting the period key (.) with the SmartReplace plugin loaded, while it didn't break anything the UX wasn't quite right, now it's better.
March 2018 - Version 1.5 Release
March 2018 sees a large update to Xinha released after years of faithful service.
Here are the main talking points, but of course there's a lot more besides this, see the ReleaseNotes.
- Lots of bugs fixed
- Lots of improvements made
- Some new plugins added WebKitResize, EncodeOutput, ListOperations, FancySelects, PreserveSelection
- Some old plugins deprecated (SpellChecker (browsers these days do spellchecking themselves), ExtendedFileManager (recommend to use MootoolsFileManager instead), ImageManager (recommend to use MootoolsFileManager instead), UnFormat (use SuperClean), PersistentStorage (abandonded))
- MootoolsFileManager plugin updated to no longer require Flash, this plugin now uses HTML5 file uploads to do multiple file uploads with progress bars.
- A much easier way for integrating Xinha
- Ability to use Xinha from external servers (CDN) and still maintaining the ability to run special local plugins (eg your own plugins locally and everything else external, or everything locally, or everything externally...
- Rewritten translations system reducing page loads and making the job easier for translators
- Reduction in network activity for plugin loading
- Updates to ensure continued good support in all modern browsers including Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE and Edge, and retaining functionality in older versions of browsers where possible.
- Improved security
- Rewritten keyboard handling and new events exposed for plugin authors
You can Download Xinha Here and it is recommended to read through the New Newbie Guide here as, while the old way will still work, the new way of loading Xinha offers you a lot more convenience!
As always, backwards compatibility is important, and breaking changes have been kept to a minimum.
For users still using the ImageManager and ExtendedFileManager plugins you will need to enable these specifically, they can also only be used with a full distribution. These plugins have been moved to unsupported_plugins and to reduce the exposure for potential vulnerabilities in these very old plugins a .htaccess file has been added to unsupported_plugins to restrict them to certain IP addresses, you will need to edit unsupported_plugins/.htaccess to enable your IP (or open-access).
For users using the CSS plugin, this has been renamed to CSSDropDowns due to conflicts with native CSS objects.
That should be about it.
Is Xinha under active development? No updates for years and then a big one? What's going on?
Xinha is a tool made by the developers for their own use.
It is used by thousands of websites in production systems all over the world and has been for many many years.
Mostly the current trunk ( checkout with "svn co http://svn.xinha.org/trunk/ trunk" ) is what is used in even production systems.
The short version is, that development happens when a developer has an itch they need to scratch, we don't "fix-what's-not-broke".
There is no set schedule, and development of Xinha simply for the sake of developing Xinha doesn't happen much (we have bills to pay, if we don't have a direct need for something in one of our projects, it's not getting written).
Xinha is open source, and we mean it, if you want to progress the development of Xinha in some way, please contact James Sleeman ( See Xinha Developers ) and he will arrange for SVN commit and Trac management access.
How can I get Xinha?
See the DownloadsPage.
Have you got a forum?
The forum was made read-only some years ago due to being too difficult to maintain, monitor and keep on top of the spammers.
You can read and search it here: http://www.xinha.org/punbb/index.php
How can I contribute to Xinha?
Do you know Javascript, are you willing to learn? Then checkout a working copy and get hacking that code! Check the tickets for feature requests that you could implement, reported bugs that you could fix. When you've got something worth contributing back to Xinha, just send it on along. Regular and proven contributors will get SVN commit access! This is one of the main reasons Xinha split from htmlArea, the htmlArea development was not open to fair and equal participation by all developers. Xinha is different, we are a group of developers trying to produce the best WYSIWYG HTML Editor available.
is once was a mailing list available at http://www.openplans.org/projects/xinha/lists/xinha-discussion, it's gone now.
I don't know Javascript!
That's ok, we do. Some other ways you might contribute are to sponsor development of Xinha plugins, or donate some cash to one of the Xinha developers.

HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons)
are widely used in the refrigeration,
foam, solvent, aerosol and fire fighting sectors as a transitional
substance to substitute CFCs. HCFCs are also used as feedstock (raw
material) in the production for other chemical products.
HCFCs were introduced in the 1990s as alternative chemicals for
CFCs and added to the list of substances controlled by the Montreal
Protocol. It was acknowledged at the time that these chemicals,
with considerably lower ozone depleting potentials (ODP), were transitional
and their production and consumption was also to be phased out under
the Montreal Protocol. Although having considerably lower ozone
depleting potentials than CFCs, many HCFCs have high global warming
potentials, of up to 2000 times that of carbon dioxide.
In 2006 global HCFC production was 34,400 ODP tonnes and approximately
75% of global HCFC use is in air-conditioning and refrigeration
sectors. The main HCFC used is HCFC-22 or chlorodifluoromethane.
At the 20th anniversary meeting of the Montreal Protocol on Substances
that Deplete the Ozone layer agreement was reached to adjust
the Montreal Protocol's HCFC phase out schedule to accelerate
the phase-out of production and consumption of HCFCS. This decision
will result in a significant reduction in ozone depletion and well
as in global warming.
The schedule for Article 5 (developing) country phase-out for production
and consumption of HCFCs is:
The schedule for non-Article 5 (developed) country phase-out for
production and consumption of HCFCs is:

This handbook is a guidebook for policy-makers involved
with designing nationwide policies to support the use of
natural refrigerants and for manufacturers and installers
of HCFC and HFC equipment to reliably assess the suitability
of hydrocarbon options and subsequently implement them.
GTZ-Proklima teamed up with TUEV Sued to ensure that the
safety system is described from both angles, from a third
party perspective and from an Implementing Agency.

Foam Blowing Agents
Sustainable Ozone- and Climate-friendly Alternatives to
A compilation of articles on ozone-and climate-friendly
HCFC alternatives in the foam sector.
This volume is a collection of articles by experts from
academia and governmental institutions, along with representatives
from manufacturers, suppliers and end-users of HCFCs in
the foam sector. It attempts to provide guidance to those
involved in implementing the HCFC phase-out under the Montreal
Protocol and all other kinds of climate protection projects
in developing countries: policy stakeholders as well as
manufacturers and end-users of HCFCs in the foam sector
from both developed and developing countries.
Various issues relevant to the introduction of natural
blowing agents are covered: legislative and policy-related
aspects, general properties, assets and drawbacks of natural
blowing agents; different applications in the manufacturing
of foams; innovative technology solutions, and case studies
from Art-5 countries on how the technology conversion towards
natural substances has successfully been implemented.

Guidelines for the Preparation of HCFC Phase-out Management
Plans Incorporating HCFC Surveys (Decision 53/37 (H))
This document, which contains draft guidelines for the preparation
of HCFC phase-out management plans (HPMPs), has been prepared
by the Multilateral Fund Secretariat in cooperation with the
implementing agencies in response to decision 53/37. It takes
into account the comments and views of Executive Committee
members. The document contains three parts: Part I addresses
the timing and the general approach to adopting guidelines
for the development of HPMPs. Part II covers policy issues
that are related to the development of the guidelines. Part
III outlines specific activities that should be undertaken
with respect to data collection, preparation, consultation
and finalization of draft guidelines for the preparation of
HPMPs. (document number UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/54/53).
