How Canada can pursue human rights and trade in Asia

Douglas Goold
Asia Pacific Foundation
Like others around the world, Canadians were horrified when they saw pictures last April of the collapse of the Bangladeshi garment factory, which killed close to 1,200 people. They are also upset when they read about the treatment of dissidents in China and elsewhere in Asia. Yet, as a new report on Canada and human rights in Asia makes clear, they are seeing only part of the picture.
Human rights has been an important part of Canadian foreign policy since 1947-48, when Canada played a pivotal role in the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, surveys have shown that many Canadians view the country's record of action on human rights in Asia to be ineffective.
How can this be changed? How can Canada successfully engage China and other Asian powers in a human rights dialogue that benefits their citizens? And can this be done while pursuing a successful trade and investment relationship with those powers?
The clear answer is yes, and it is one of the encouraging themes of a task force report entitled Advancing Canada's Engagement with Asia on Human Rights. It was published Sept. 25 by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, under the umbrella of its National Conversation on Asia initiative.
More than a year in the making, the task force is the work of an impressive group of Asia and human rights experts who held high-level consultations in Vancouver, Ottawa and Montreal.
No one likes to be preached to
As Canadians recognize, there are human rights abuses in Asia. However, Canadians should also understand that the region has made great strides in the past quarter century.
China, for example, has not only made a broad commitment to improving people's daily lives but also signed on to domestic and international legal obligations that support human rights. Canada should encourage the Chinese to continue supporting those commitments.
What Canada needs is an integrated approach in its foreign policy towards Asia. That means providing more dynamic support for the full gamut of human rights while at the same time responsibly pursuing economic opportunities. It also means placing the emphasis not only on political and civil rights but also on social, economic and cultural rights.
A major conclusion of the task force is that if Canada takes a constructive approach to its relations with Asian countries, it can help move the dial on human rights while at the same time pursuing its economic interests.
This will require care and sensitivity to local conditions, a realization that Canadian values aren't necessarily Asian values, and an awareness—not always there in the past—that no one likes to be preached to.
What does Canada need to do to produce the desired results? The role of the federal government is critical. It must provide consistent political leadership at the highest level and make the development of human rights a strategic objective of its Asia strategy. That means setting specific, realistic goals in consultation with governments in Asia.
An example of what Ottawa could do would be to assess and publicize the effect that any trade or investment agreement is likely to have on human rights in the country in question. Canada is currently in discussion with or negotiating such agreements with India, Japan, South Korea and Thailand.
The federal government also needs to attend to public opinion, by explaining the rationale and the benefits both for Canada and for Asia of its human rights policies and by supporting broader community and civil society engagement in human rights implementation.
Business is equally important, because it is on the ground in Asia, and it is the part of Canada that Asians will see the most. Companies should be sensitive to local human rights priorities, align their activities to recognized human rights standards and support the work of non-governmental organizations.
For their part, Canadian NGOs can, for example, support law reform and the training of local judges and lawyers.
A robust human rights strategy would have many benefits for Canada, as well as those in Asia affected by Canada's policies. There is, of course, intrinsic value to making human rights part of our ongoing strategy. This strategy would also bolster Canada's effectiveness in international leadership, trade liberalization and responsible development.
Canada has been trying for several decades with limited success to improve human rights in Asia and enhance its economic footprint in the region. The strategy outlined in this new report could at long last make that elusive goal a reality.

When You Are Looking For Something Special
After so many years birthday cards seem to say the same thing over and over again. I wanted to send my friend a card that truly showed how much she has meant to me over the years. It was so much fun to create the card myself using pictures of us and the many adventures we have taken over the years. I must say she was touched and misty eyed when she saw the card.

In an action unprecedented during 12 years of war in Afghanistan, the commandant of the Marine Corps is firing two top generals for failing to protect troops and their base in southern Afghanistan from a Taliban attack.
Marine Commandant Gen. James Amos, has agreed to a finding that Maj. Gen. Charles M. Gurganus and Maj. Gen. Gregg A. Sturdevant "did not take adequate force protection measures" at Camp Bastion last year, the service said on Monday.
On September 14-15, 2012, Taliban fighters got through an unguarded part of a fence and engaged in a long running gun battle with U.S. and coalition forces.
Two Marines were killed and eight other personnel were wounded. Six aircraft were destroyed by the Taliban, the largest loss of Marine aircraft since the Vietnam War.
There were three investigations of the incident, two of which Gurganus ran, according to a Marine Corps official. But Amos then asked U.S. Central Command for an independent probe. Central Command recommended both generals leave the corps and Amos accepted it.
Amos has recommended to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus that Gurganus's promotion to lieutenant general, currently on hold in the Senate, be rescinded. He also recommended that Sturdevant receive a letter of censure from Mabus.
Both men have been told to submit their retirement letters.
In a statement, the Marines said Amos praised the generals for pursuing the U.S. combat goals, but "concluded that the commanders, in overseeing the camp's force-protection plan, did not exercise the level of judgment expected of general officers."
Amos made a subtle reference to the question of whether the Marines had enough manpower on hand. "While I am mindful of the degree of difficulty the Marines in Afghanistan faced in accomplishing a demanding combat mission with a rapidly declining force, my duty requires me to remain true to the timeless axioms relating to command responsibility and accountability," Amos wrote in endorsing the investigation's findings. "Responsibility and accountability are the sacred tenets of commandership."
Amos found Gurganus "made an error in judgment when conducting his risk assessment of the enemy's capabilities and intentions."
He also found Sturdevant, who commanded the aviation unit, failed to protect the airfield properly.
The airfield was operated by British forces but Sturdevant remained responsible for using U.S. Marines who were assigned to protect personnel and aircraft.
Britain's Prince Harry was with his Apache helicopter crew at the time of the attack but was moved to a secure area, officials said at the time.

Ambulance Service could pull out of Tri-Services Centre
THE AMBULANCE Trust could pull out from Gloucester's Tri-Service control centre.
The centre in Waterwells, Quedgeley, currently homes all three emergency services and Prime Minister David Cameron has even popped in there for a visit.
But rumours are rife the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust could be leaving before Christmas and it is currently in talks with the 29 members of staff there.
Alice Stanes, communications assistant at the trust, said: "No decisions have yet been made regarding the potential plans to withdraw from the Gloucestershire tri-services centre.

Valid until: Tuesday, December 31 2013
"It is important for us to ensure staff are fully informed.
"It is for this reason that we are currently undertaking a consultation with the 29 staff members currently working at the Gloucestershire tri-services centre.
"We are also looking very closely at the potential cost savings and efficiencies that would be created, as this will be paramount in any decisions we make."
Emergency 999 calls are not answered from the county's control room, but it is used to mobilise ambulances across Gloucestershire.
Ms Stanes added: "SWASFT currently has four control rooms, which is twice as many as the other UK ambulance services so it is imperative we review these functions to ensure we are appropriately using public money to optimise services for patients and working conditions for staff."
Gloucestershire's Conservative councillors sent out a statement expressing "significant concerns" about the trust looking to leave before Christmas.
Will Windsor-Clive, Gloucestershire County Council cabinet member for fire, wrote to Ken Wenman, the chief executive of trust calling for public consultation on any proposals.
He said: "Gloucestershire's Tri-Service centre has been massively successful in helping all three emergency services work together more effectively – particularly during the 2007 floods.
"I would be really concerned about any proposal from South West Ambulance Trust that risks undermining that.
"I know professionals I speak to are increasingly concerned, particularly following the closure of Durlsey Ambulance Station, that South West Ambulance Trust is taking resources out of Gloucestershire in favour of other parts of the region."
Tory MP for Gloucester Richard Graham added: "I am concerned to hear of this plan by the Ambulance Service. They should be supporting the Tri-Service Centre."
Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude was taken to the centre in May 2012 and told about the joint working which was taking place in the county to keep people safe.
At that time Chief Fire Officer Jon Hall said: "We operate a unique mix of tri-service arrangements with the police and ambulance services which have proved themselves time and time again.
"Successful operations during the floods of 2007 and more recently during busy operations last summer proved to us the value of this approach."

It's only the preseason, so luckily not nearly as many people were watching the Houston Texans take on the Miami Dolphins.
That doesn't make a full-on nose picking session (and possible booger snack, but the camera cuts away before we can see the exciting conclusion to this gold-digging saga) any less gross.
This game was not for the queasy. Not only did we have a nose-picker (doesn't the guy next to her even see this?), but tight end Dustin Keller suffered a gruesome knee injury as well.

ArcticLight, I have several firearms. I'm middle of the road. As such I know many other gun owners that are so far 'right' that they are in the ditch. I think it's a product of NRA brain washing. The NRA was working on all of us Cub Scouts even in the '50's. So were the arms manufacturers. We were taught that animals are nothing but targets. Guess they were selling their wares because a couple of wars were over.
Don't think you are middle of the road, seem to be in the left lane to me!

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Trestle is awesome. For those of you who've had the pleasure of enjoying San Francisco's wide range of modern american restaurants, Trestle holds its own with Blue Plate, Maverick or Range - a real rarity in the (somewhat pretentious NYC dining scene). Delicious food, artfully concepted and with the right ingredient/flavor combinations. I was super impressed. Now, if this was in SF instead of on 10th ave, the prices would've been $10 less per person, but no less delicious. We've found a new "standard" restaurant. Awesome.

had an amazing time at Trestle. order the steak tartare and the lamb and you'll be blown away!

Just had lunch. They microwaved a frittata! It was soggy, steamy, tasteless - and expensive for what it was. Room was nice though and service was friendly.

Dined at Trestle with two friends last night. That had to be the slowest service and food preparation I have ever experienced. But that would have been fine had the food been worth the wait. It just wasn't. We had a large sampling, as well: quail risotto - the risotto, although supposed to be slightly crunchy on the inside per this preparation, was hard and like eating tic tacs. The butter lettuce salad was good, but it would have been hard to mess that up. The cheeses and meats were good - probably the best part of the meal. We also had the entree scallops and the pork loin. The pork was ok, the scallops mediocre as well. The Pizokel was chewy and bland. The wine list, though interesting, was overpriced. Overall, I was completely disappointed. We didn't stay for dessert because it had already been almost 3 hours just getting our dinner and we did not anticipate it being worth the wait.

Had dinner there tonight. it was an awful mess. steaks came out cold and we had a rude waiter. If you are willing to spend 2 hours there and be served cold food alongside horrible service, this is your place. One upside, the hostess was wonderful.
Posted by John from Chelsea on 09/19/2007
While strolling along the other evening, I passed Trestle, looked at the window menu and decided to pop in for dinner. I am so glad I did. I was greeted warmly and asked where I would like to sit. The lovely outdoor garden was tempting, but I sat in front near the bar area. And what a wonderful meal it was. The food was fresh and delicious. A very welcomed addition to this neighborhood.

Too much money ($55 for wine, salad, entree) when all was no better than good.

I just want some sleep...
Posted in the Insomnia Forum
Does anyone have any pointers on getting to sleep and staying asleep for a full night?
I can usually get about 3 full hours a night or so, and on bad weeks, I'll be awake for a day or two. My longest has been about four days. And when I do get a 'full 8 hours' I usually end up waking up every hour or two. And being fully awake for at least an hour. I refuse to take pills by the way. Someone suggested marijuana to me, and I have tried it...that did work wonders...should I look into that? Or is there another way? Any suggestions would be nice...I just want some decent sleep. |

hi,you need to see your doctor staying awake for 4 days even though it happened once is serious.please take a look at the link.wish you well.
http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-stay-awake |
Don't feel weird. It has happened to me too. I'm on day two without sleep and I'm convinced some people are just like this. I work two days a week that are night shifts and Im pretty sure this contributes. I tried ambien and it made me really dizzy and naseous. I think u should definitely look into the marijuana. I find a lot of my friends and family not only think I'm crazy for not sleeping, but also make me feel like its something I can control. Medical marijuana is an option. Im in the process right now. Good luck :)

I recommend sunshine and white egg. The longest awake by no nap or sleep of mine is 17 days.(I wonder that i am alive!)
This is my story in my website: http://www.sleepicant.com Just want to tell you that you are not alone. |
Since: Oct 11 32 Location hidden |
I agree with slatey, you should at least temporarily go to the doctor and get some meds. Just don't do ambien. You may have anxiety problems keeping you awake, maybe you could get treated for that also. Exercise during the day, read at night and listen to a set of a few songs that you can concentrate on as you fall asleep. Hopefully something will help.

Here are a few sleeping tips for you. These tips are useful for insomnia as well as other [url=http://sleepdisorders.dol yan.com/sleep-disorders]sleep disorders[/url].
Dont do exciting things right before your sleep time (sex is ok for men as they get very sleepy (chemicals) but this works different for women who do not have the same reaction) Learn to leave your office problems back in the office when you drive home all those people who dwell on those problems have issues sleeping Meditation, another one best sleeping tips Meditate and fully relax yourself and you will discover you fell asleep Be a good person if you do evil things then you will stress about them at night and also other people are likely to have insulted you or taken revenge which you will also be thinking about at night Medicine: Buy / use valerian root Avoid having bright lights around the house in the evening use dimmer lights. Bright lights act like the sun and tell the body it is daytime Reduce noise in the place where you sleep as much as possible A little bit of alcohol (1 or half glass) can relax you to sleep too much of it will make you excited. Wine and beer work better than vodka. Certain herbs can help you sleep, Google about herbs and teas which help you sleep (passion fruit tea) Use a lavender spray or lavender aromatherapy Use foam ear plugs if there is a lot of noise around which you can do nothing about |

Hi Sleepless
There are so many different possible reasons why you might have difficulty sleeping. Without knowing what lifestyle you have, it's impossible to guess what you may be doing, if anything, to stop yourself sleeping. So all I can do is give you general advice on ways to fall asleep. I do believe that you can train yourself to fall asleep easily, and that you can change things that you may be doing that prevents you getting to sleep, as there are loads of lifestyle choices people make that can keep them up. In my opinion, the main areas to consider are these: 1. Making sure you have a strict routine. Try to go to bed and get up at the same time every day. This will condition your body and mind to recognize this time as sleep time. 2. Trying to see sleep as an important part of the day, and not letting things interfere with your pattern. This is an attitude you can adopt - don't allow things to get in the way of your sleep, like a film or computer or the phone or work. When it is bedtime, it is bedtime! 3. Have a good diet. Don't eat a heavy meal, smoke, drink alcohol or caffeine for a few hours before bedtime. 4. Try to exercise most days. Even if you can't - go out for a walk or sit outside for some fresh air in the evening. 5. Turn off electronic devices in the last hour of the day. It is much better to read a book before going to sleep, as TV and computers can stimulate your mind and keep you awake. 6. Make sure your bedroom is only used for sleeping if you can. Don't watch TV in bed for example. 7. Try to keep your body cool. Coolness makes the body think it is time to sleep. So don't have a hot bath right before bed for example - a couple of hours before is good. 8. Sleep in the dark. The body produces Melatonin when it is dark which helps you sleep. 9. Do some relaxation techniques before bed. Meditation, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation for example. There are loads of YouTube videos that can teach you. 10. If you can't sleep after 20-30 minutes, get up and do something else relaxing for 20 minutes then go back to bed. Most importantly is not to stress if you can't sleep, or if you wake up. Then that stress in itself will keep you awake. Just try to accept it, relax and keep trying to do what I mentioned above, and you will in time get better hopefully as sleeping. The website below is full of really useful tips about insomnia, and goes into the above points in more detail and much more. Have a look if you like. http://nosleeplessnights.com/ Good luck with it, and I hope things improve soon! |

From The Southern Newspapers Publishers Association
Nearly two-thirds of the smartphone users who had downloaded newspaper apps said they used the apps frequently during the week prior to participating in a national mobile media news consumption survey.
This was the highest percentage of frequent users – smartphone and tablet – in all news app categories. But among the tablet newspaper app users, fewer than half said they used the apps frequently.
These were just a couple of findings in the second annual mobile media news consumption survey conducted by the Reynolds Journalism Institutein collaboration with members of the Digital Publishing Alliance. The DPA is a member-supported initiative of the RJI at the Missouri School of Journalism.

A cutoff of 911 service to the Poplarville police department has been indefinitely postponed until supervisors, along with Poplarville and Picayune officials, can discuss the matter, a source close to the board of supervisors said Monday. It was the second time a cutoff deadline was postponed.
Also, Poplarville Police Chief Charlie Fazende told the Poplarville board of aldermen last week that Sheriff David Allison had told him that the Nov. 1 deadline he had given the City of Poplarville to agree to fund two dispatchers in the sheriff's department, or have the 911 service terminated, was no longer valid. Allison told Fazende supervisors had agreed to help his office fund the two positions to the first of the year until the issue could be worked out, Fazende told aldermen.
Allison, in a September letter to the Poplarville board of aldermen, at first set an Oct. 31 deadline for the cutoff, later moved it to Nov. 1 to give aldermen more time to discuss the matter, and then postponed it indefinitely last week.
Calls for 911 from Poplarville residents come into the 911 dispatch service in the sheriff's department and the dispatchers talk directly to Poplarville's police units to dispatch them on the 911 calls. How Poplarville would handlle 911 calls if Poplarville were cut off from the service was not made clear, but Poplarville would somehow have to handle its own dispatching, which would cost the city a lot of money, if the city were cut off.
Poplarville officials pointed out to the county that Poplarville residents already pay $1 per month on their phone bill, businesses $2 per month, that goes to funding the 911 service.
Poplarville officials said it would cost them $85,000 a year to fund two dispatchers currently working at the 911 service. Allison said that if he did not get the help from Poplarville, he would have to lay off two deputies. He also told Poplarville officials budget constraints was forcing him to take the action.
The decision to cut off Poplarville had no affect on Picayune, or South Pearl River County, which operates a separate 911 service in South Pearl River County.
As the Nov. 1 deadline neared, Poplarville City Attorney Martin T. Smith told aldermen that his research of the law on the matter showed that the board of supervisors served also as the 911 board, and that there was a question of whether the sheriff had the authority to terminate the service.
Supervisors can appoint a separate five-member 911 board to manage the service, or act as the 911 board itself. In Pearl River Çounty, the five-member board of supervisors is also the 911 board, charged with managing and overseeing the service.
The question raised was how could the sheriff cancel the service, when supervisors were over the 911 service.
The source close to the board of supervisors said there is a possibility that the matter might be discussed at the Tuesday, Nov. 20, board of supervisors recessed meeting.
Poplarville Mayor Billy Spiers has talked to supervisors in an executive session about the matter; however, Spiers showed up again at the Nov. 5 board meetng but no discussions were held then because Picayune officials were not in attendance, officials told the Picayune Item.
The Poplarville board of aldermen has drafted a letter, stating its position on the matter. The letter was signed by Spiers and submitted to supervisors.

US 3939564 A Abstract This device consists primarily of parallel spaced apart bars which through brackets, bolt, spring and wingnut fastenings will adjust to adapt to a painting canvas, the parallel members having equally spaced apart slot means in which will be received thread so as to form grid lines for the purpose of copying, enlarging or decreasing photographs, paintings, pictures, plans and the like from one area to another.
Claims(1) 1. An adjustable grid line device comprising: a frame including two pairs of parallel spaced apart bars, each having an L-shaped cross-section and each having a plurality of equally spaced apart notches along the edges thereof corresponding to the outer peripheral edge of the frame; means for adjustably connecting the bars for the expansion and contraction of the frame comprising L-shaped brackets each fixedly secured on one outside face to one of the bars and means securing each bracket on the other outside face to an adjacent bar comprising a bolt fastener, means defining an elongated slot in the adjacent bar freely and slideably receptive of the bolt, a winged nut fastener engaged with the bolt fastener and spring means cooperative with the bolt fastener for urging the bracket against the adjacent bar; thread means received in said notches on the oppositely opposed bars to form grid lines for the enlarging, reducing or copying of pictures; and a pair of parallel spaced apart spring clips receptive of a canvas therebetween and fixedly secured to the inside corners of each bracket.
Description This invention relates to instruments for enlarging and reducing prints, and more particularly to an adjustable grid-lined device. It is therefore the principal object of this invention to provide an adjustable grid line device which by thread means forming a grid composing squares, will serve the purpose for copying, enlarging or decreasing photographs, pictures and the like. Another object of this invention is to provide an adjustable grid line device which will have parallel spaced apart L-shaped members slotted along a longitudinal edge to receive the threads that will form the grid lines. Still another object of this invention is to provide a grid line device of the type described which will be secured together to form a slideable bar arrangement which will adapt to various sized canvases or other material, the opposite sides remaining parallel with each other throughout any of the adjustments through the use of spring loaded bolt fasteners receiving wing-nut fasteners which will render the frame secure in any desired dimension required. Other objects of the invention are to provide an adjustable grid line device which is simple in design, inexpensive to manufacture, rugged in construction, easy to use and efficient in operation. These and other objects will become readily evident upon a study of the following specification together with the accompanying drawing wherein: FIG. 1 is a front view of the present invention shown partly broken away and in elevation; FIG. 2 is a left-hand view of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of one of the L-shaped members of the device showing how the cords are strung; FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary front view showing the spring loaded mounting of the device. According to this invention, an adjustable grid line device 10 is shown to include parallel spaced apart and L-shaped configurated bars 11 and 12 and 13 and 14 which form a rectangular frame being adjustably secured to the outer peripheral edges of a canvas. All of the bars 11, 12, 13 and 14 are provided with equally spaced apart notches 15 on the outer peripheral longitudinal edges of the frame formed by the bars 11, 12, 13 and 14. The notches 15 receive thread 16 which is strung from bar 11 to bar 12 and from bar 13 to bar 14, the result being that a grid form of squares is obtained for enlarging or reducing, or copying pages, prints and the like. An L-shaped bracket 17 is secured by fasteners 18 within each internal corner formed by bars 11, 12, 13 and 14. The brackets 17 are one each, fastened fixedly, by means of fasteners 18 to bars 11, 12, 13 and 14 and the opposite ends of brackets 17 are free to slideably engage with their respective bars. A pair of threaded bolt fasteners 19 receive, each, a coil spring 20 and removeably receive a winged-nut fastener 21. Each of the bolt fasteners 19 are freely and slideably received within the elongated slot 22 of the bars 11, 12, 13 and 14 which enables the frame to be expanded or contracted as it is desired to fit various sized canvases. The spring 20 upon the bolt fasteners 19 provide tension means for the bars 11, 12, 13 and 14. It shall be noted that each of the brackets 17 has secured fixedly thereto, a pair of spring clips 23 which are parallel spaced apart so as to receive the peripheral edges of the canvas within the frame of the device 10. It shall be noted further that rather than thread 16, string, fishing line, thin wire and so on may be used and the beginning of thread 16 may have a knot tied into it and hooked into the first notch 15 to be used. The end of the thread after stringing is wrapped around a tack which is pushed into the canvas frame to hold thread 16 fast until the device 10 is finished with. The notches 15 are one-quarter of an inch or more apart and the device may be threaded into the desired amount of grid squares. In order to adjust the device 10, the winged nut fasteners 21 are loosened and the bars 11, 12, 13 and 14 are urged towards or away from each other as desired, whereupon the fasteners 21 are then tightened which will hold the canvas fast within the spring clips 23.

The day-long nationwide bandh called by the Left parties and NDA today, demanding a roll back of the government's decision to hike diesel prices, cap subsidised cooking gas cylinders and against allowing FDI in multi-brand retail has hit life at many places in the country.
Samajwadi Party workers blocked rail traffic at Allahabad railway station in the morning. BJP Yuva Morcha activists stopped trains at Patna junction.
Workers of SP, CPM, CPI, TDP, BJD, JD (S), All India Forward Bloc and the RSP have plans to organise picketing, demonstrations and court arrest.
A scuffle broke out between the TMC workers and BJP workers in Howrah when BJP workers were taking out a rally in support of the bandh and TMC workers were opposing it.
The bandh did not have much effect in the morning in Delhi as Autos and buses could be seen plying on the road and Delhi metro was also running smoothly. However, some schools in the capital were closed due to the bandh according to the reports.
According to media reports, protesters burned effigy of the prime minister at some places in UP. In Bangalore, government and private schools were shut.
Uttar Pradesh
Samajwadi Party workers today held demonstrations in some parts of Uttar Pradesh and stopped a train in Allahabad in support of the bandh against FDI in
retail and hike in diesel prices.
Raising slogans against FDI in retail, a group of workers held a demonstration outside the Walmart store at Sultanpur in the state.
A group of workers also held a protest outside Divisional Railway Manager's office in Hazratganj. Reports of similar protests also poured in from other districts including Allahabad where activists of the youth wing of the ruling SP stopped the Bareilly-bound Triveni Express at 5.30 am on Niranjan railway bridge.
The protesters assembled in large numbers along the railway tracks and also burnt the effigies of the Prime Minister and Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
The agitation delayed the onward journey of the train by an hour. Senior SP leaders including SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav are likely to hold a protest later in the day against hike in diesel and LPG prices and allowing FDI in retail.
SP has directed its workers not to take law in their hands and hold peaceful protest, SP spokesman Rajendra Chowhdury said.
West Bengal
Life in Kolkata and elsewhere in West Bengal was disrupted by a 12-hour bandh called by Left parties. Though airport services were normal, train services in Eastern Railway and South Eastern Railway were disrupted, officials said.
Running of trains in South Eastern Railway to and from Howrah were disrupted since 8.30 am due to obstruction caused by protesters at Ramrajatala station.
Howrah-Pune Duranto Express, which started from Howrah on time, was stopped by the squatters in Kolkata, railway sources said.
Eastern Railway spokesperson said that train services on Howrah division of ER were disrupted as bandh supporters blocked rail tracks at several stations. The obstructions were made at Katwa, Jougram, Agradeep, Ahemedpur, Bagnapara, Bhadreswar, Baidyabati and other stations.
Six long-distance trains reached Howrah this morning before the bandh started. He said that in Sealdah division of ER, train services were disrupted as bandh supporters obstructed rail traffic at Bongaon, Hasnabad and Diamond Harbour sections, he said.
However, train services were normal in Sealdah-Dankuni, Sealdah main line upto Kalyani, Namkhana-Sealdah and Budge Budge-Sealdah sections.
Services of the underground Metro rail, the city's lifeline, were normal, officials said. Airport sources said the flight operations were normal in Kolkata airport, except cancellation of two Indigo flights - Kolkata-New Delhi and Kolkata-Agartala which were scheduled to fly in the morning.
Seven long-distance trains arrived at Sealdah and Kolkata stations before the bandh started. Very few private buses were on the road but taxis were mostly off the roads in view of their 72-hour strike starting today in support of fare price hike. State-run buses and trams plied normally.
Educational institutions, shops and business establishments were by and large closed in the city. Joint Commissioner of Police (Kolkata), Jawed Shamim told PTI that there has been no untoward incident so far in the city.
Police pickets have been set up in various parts of the city to check any untoward incident. Officials of West Bengal government said that normalcy would be ensured during today's general strike called by the Left in the state from 6 am. The strike coincides with NDA's Bharat Bandh over the same issue.
The bandh has affeted life in Odisha. Public transport has been hit according to media reports. There are also reports of closure of schools at many places in the state due to the bandh.
Parties not supporting Bandh
However, many political parties have stayed away from the bandh. Trinamool Congress which reduced ruling UPA-II to minority by announcing to pull out its 19 MPs from the coalition, has opposed the bandh stating that a bandh served no purpose.
She said that taking advantage of the diesel price hike, the prices of some commodities were sought to be increased and a bandh would further aggravate the situation.
"We will not allow bandh forcibly," she said. She said that offices in West Bengal would remain open on Thursday and state-run buses and trams would be on the roads.
Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) which has 21 members of Parliament in Lok Sabha, too said it will not participate in the nation-wide strike called by opposition parties on Thursday.
Samajwadi Party has expressed displeasure on government's decision on FDI and diesel price. It announced stir against government's decisions on diesel, LPG and FDI. The party has 22 MPs in Lok Sabha.
Congress ally DMK, however, has decided to support the bandh. DMK president M Karunanidhi asked party workers and front organisations to participate in the strike and make it a success. Gorkha Jana Mukti Morcha (GJMM) too has decided not to participate in the countrywide strike.
With the Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena staying away from the bandh, the BJP is banking upon support from JD(U) and traders' bodies of the nation. Various associations of traders and retailers have backed the bandh.
Traders' body CAIT said its members in different states will observe bandh in protest against the government's decision to allow FDI in multi-brand retail sector.
"All traders and retailers across Mumbai and Thane will down their shutters. We are not supporting any political party but fighting a battle for our own survival," said Viren Shah, president of the Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Associations.
Several leaders of different political parties, which are also observing the nation-wide bandh, will address a rally of retail traders at Jantar Mantar, Secretary General of the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) Praveen Khandelwal said.
About 25,000 trade associations representing five crore traders, hawkers, labourers and farmers will participate in the bandh, Khandelwal claimed.
To discourage government employees from participating in bandh, the government in Assam would enforce pay cut, break in service and disciplinary action against employees who do not report for work during 'Bharat Bandh'on Thursday.

RBS back in the black for first time since 2007
Royal Bank of Scotland scraped back into the black for the first time since 2007 after losing more than £1bn a year earlier, as its restructuring plan began to take effect and the financial markets improved.
RBS, which is 83 per cent owned by the taxpayer, rounded off a week of positive banking results in the UK as it announced a net profit of £9m for the first six months of the year. Interim revenues rose to £17.7bn from £14.7bn a year earlier.
The bank's chief executive Stephen Hester said RBS was "on track" and the rebuilding strategy was "proceeding according to plan; maybe a little better". However, he said: "There is plenty left to do and we may slip up as the race is not yet run."
Ian Gordon, an analyst at Exane BNP Paribas, welcomed the results, saying "commendable progress had been made by the new management team".
RBS was bailed out by the UK government in October 2008 after it was hit by the credit crunch in the wake of its acquisition of ABN Amro. After Sir Fred Goodwin was ousted as chief executive, the new management drew up a five-year restructuring plan to reshape the business and cut costs. Since 2008, it has axed 23,000 employees.
Mr Hester said: "We are making good progress with disposals and overall business restructuring." The group said it was three-quarters of the way through the sale of its smaller non-core businesses and was making progress with the sales mandated by the European Commission.
As a result, it sold over 300 branches to Santander in a deal worth £1.6bn this week. Yesterday, RBS sold 80 per cent of its payment-processing arm WorldPay to Advent International and Bain Capital, for up to £1.9bn.
Mr Hester said: "The rebuilding of RBS is a marathon and not a sprint. I am pleased with the steady momentum in our core customer-facing businesses." RBS's operating profits hit £1.5bn, from a loss of £3.3bn in the first half of last year. Over half of the core profit was made up by RBS Global Banking & Markets (GBM), the investment banking division, although revenues fell by more than 30 per cent in the second quarter.
Mr Hester said the division's difficulties were "reflecting negative capital market sentiment, increased volatility and a resulting reduction in client activity". This marked a sharp contrast with Barclays, which reported the previous day and saw growth in its investment banking operations.
Joseph Dickerson, an analyst at Execution, said: "The performance on GBM was a little light, but on the plus side, UK retail banking looked good." As the economy strengthened in the second quarter, the group's impairments fell from £2.6bn to £2.4bn. Yet it was affected by a deterioration in the loan portfolio of its Irish business.
RBS said it had lent £23.5bn in the first half, £14.4bn of which was to small and medium-sized businesses. "We are supporting our customers where it is appropriate to do so," Mr Hester said. He added that applications for business loans had dropped 7 per cent. The bank did not want to "repeat the reckless lending" before the crunch. "People are still waiting for demand to be more convincing before they take on more risk," he said.
This week, Lloyds Banking Group posted a £1.6bn profit after a £4bn loss in the first half of the previous year. HSBC doubled first-half profits to £7.1bn on Monday, followed by mixed results at Northern Rock.

Microsoft gets $530m in sale of ad agency Razorfish to Publicis
- Todd Bishop
Ad giant Publicis Groupe this morning confirmed an agreement to buy Microsoft's Razorfish online advertising agency for $530 million, along with a five-year strategic alliance under which Publicis will buy display and search advertising from the Redmond company at "certain minimum guaranteed aggregate purchase levels."
Razorfish was part of Microsoft's $6 billion deal for Seattle digital marketing company aQuantive in 2007. The agency, formerly known as Avenue A/Razorfish, was seen as an odd fit inside Microsoft in part because it works on campaigns that run across a variety of sites, including Google, Yahoo and other competitors to Microsoft's online properties. The clues that Razorfish wouldn't be with Microsoft for the long haul included the fact that its employees didn't get the standard Microsoft benefits package.
[Update, 8:40 a.m.: There are "no plans to displace any Razorfish workers in the Seattle region or elsewhere as a result of this agreement," said Microsoft spokesman Lou Gellos in an email message this morning, responding to our question on that topic.]
The cash-and-stock agreement with Publicis follows a bidding war that included ad companies WPP PLC and Omnicom Group, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing people with knowledge of the bidding. Dentsu, Japan's largest advertising company, bid more than than Publicis did, the Journal reported.
That suggests that details of the strategic alliance may have tipped the balance in favor of Publicis, bringing the promise of guaranteed ad revenue. Microsoft is hungry for online advertising dollars and traction in the search market, as evidenced by its 18-month pursuit of Yahoo for their recently announced online advertising and search partnership.
