Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Thank you for contacting Just Answer.
One thing you can do is sign a promissory note for the balance due, including interest, with a deadline, and then a penalty per day (or week or whatever) if the final payment is late.
The owner needs to understand that you are not a bank and that you need to pay for your labor and materials.
So, to maintain good relations, if you can afford it, I suggest that you take the $5K now and give the owner a few weeks or whatever for the other money. If you write a promissory note, it would be good for it to be secured by some type of collateral, or even a bond.
Otherwise, I agree, a Mechanics Lien is the way to go.
If that answers your question to your satisfaction, please click "accept." Thanks, Jane

Philip H. Anselmo + the Illegals Make Lineup Change, Working on 'Scathing' New Material
The rocker reveals a change in the guitarist position of his band and opens up about the new material his group is writing.
The rocker reveals a change in the guitarist position of his band and opens up about the new material his group is writing.
Last July, Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals jammed the Pantera classic 'Walk' with cancer stricken fan Peyton Arens at their first-ever show in Tulsa, Okla. Sadly, Arens has passed away after battling a rare form of cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma.
If you're planning to check out Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals on their upcoming 'Technicians of Distortion' tour, you'll definitely want to vote in this poll. Philip Anselmo and the boys are planning on busting out a few Pantera and Superjoint Ritual songs along the way, and they want to know which tracks you want to experience!
Phil Anselmo's inaugural Housecore Horror and Music Festival got underway today (Oct. 24) in Austin, Texas. To celebrate, they are releasing a limited edition, two song vinyl EP.
On Tuesday, July 31, Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals kicked off their U.S tour in Tulsa, Okla. During the show, Anselmo invited a young fan who is battling cancer to come onstage with the band to help perform a rendition of Pantera's 'Walk' (watch fan-shot video above) via the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
The day has come! 'Walk Through Exits Only,' Philip H. Anselmo's highly anticipated solo debut with his backing band, the Illegals, is now available for streaming in full. Anselmo has also just released a pair of videos talking about his upcoming tour, along with instructions on how to conduct oneself while attending a Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals concert.
Pantera / Down frontman Philip H. Anselmo is set to unleash his debut solo album, 'Walk Through Exits Only,' on July 16, and a few songs from the upcoming release have already been revealed. But we've got an extra special treat for you: Loudwire has the exclusive premiere of the music video for 'Bedridden' -- the first official video from Anselmo's newest project.
Who: Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals, Warbeast + Author & Punisher
Legendary Pantera singer Philip Anselmo is set to unleash his debut solo album, 'Walk Through Exits Only,' on July 16, and Loudwire is proud to exclusively premiere the disc's title track (listen below).

1MARIJUANA is legal and is not even classified as a drug.
2Six American soldiers ran to North Korea in 1962 and have lived there since then.
Soon after his arrival, Dresnok met Larry Allen Abshier, another American defector. Eventually, there were four of them: Abshier, Jerry Parrish, Charles Robert Jenkins, and Dresnok. The men lived together and participated in several propaganda efforts on behalf of the North Korean government. They appeared on magazine covers and used loudspeakers to try to persuade more American soldiers at the border to defect. However, at first they did not wish to remain in North Korea indefinitely. In 1966, the four men tried to leave North Korea by seeking asylum at the Soviet embassy in Pyongyang, but were immediately turned over to North Korean authorities by the embassy. Afterwards, Dresnok decided to settle in North Korea and assimilate. He married a couple of times and is currently in failing health. (Source)
3North Korea is the world's only nation to currently have a captured U.S. Navy ship.
Eventually, the North Korean government decided to release all crew members. The Pueblo is still held by North Korea and remains the second-oldest commissioned ship in the U.S. Navy. (Source)
4North Korea is officially NOT Communist anymore.
5It's not 2013 in North Korea. The year is 102!
6North Korea hosts the World's Largest Stadium, seating 150,000 people.
Located in Pyongyang, it was finished in 1989. In the late 1990s, a number of North Korean army generals implicated in an assassination attempt on Kim Jong-il were executed via burning in the stadium. (Source)
7In 2012, North Korean archaeologists announced to the world that they "discovered" the resting place of a UNICORN
8There are 51 "Social Categories" ranked by their loyalty to the regime.
9On the border, there's a GHOST city to encourage South Koreans to enter.
10For 20 years, the world's tallest hotel was a 105-story empty pyramid in Pyongyang.
Japanese newspapers estimated the cost of the hotel at $750 million, which is 2% of North Korea's GDP. For over a decade, the unfinished building sat vacant and without windows, fixtures, or fittings, appearing as a massive concrete shell. In the late 1990s, the European Union Chamber of Commerce in Korea inspected the building and concluded that the structure was "irreparable." (Source)

no controversy...you want the phone...you pay the bux....its a simple concept...expect this from 75% of devices on verizon & at&t by this time next year....the extra $10 to go from select to connect aint killin no one...
2. irish43 (Posts: 3; Member since: 24 Aug 2009)
yeah, unless you are on a family plan with smart phone and a dumb phone... once the dumb phone gets upgraded to this "new and better" plan (ha, what a joke) chaulk on an additional $40... thanks for that Verizon... idiots.
3. bigredemp_2007 (Posts: 10; Member since: 27 May 2009)
Exactly. If you think about it, why would you buy a phone that has an HTML web browser if you aren't going to use it? VZW is not the first company to require a data package on a "dumb phone". If you want this phone, or really a lot of the future phones, you have to pay for the services on it.
5. jtm1208 (Posts: 37; Member since: 16 Jun 2009)
right now there are only 2 new phones that have keyboards that dont have html web browsing. so basically if you dont need html internet but want a keyboard you have two phones to choose from. Having a data plan on smart phones makes sense to me. But requiring a data plan on a lot of these feature phones is overkill. some people really just want a phone to talk and text on, and we are really only giving them one or 2 options when this plan goes into effect.
6. BBseven (Posts: 1; Member since: 04 Sep 2009)
So you're complaining about paying the 30 dollars for the smartphone, and suddenly 10 bucks more that allows you to actually do stuff on the phone is ridiculous? if you cant afford the 40, get rid of your smartphone and get yourself a lg5500 and be happy that you got a phone that does exactly all your willing to pay for....make calls. They arent making you pick that phone, nor did they make you get your smartphone. Maybe you use it for work, and work makes you? so make work reimburse you. I have a blackberry and pay 30 bucks because i like all the shit i can do on it. 10 more bucks, .33 cents a day, and you can browse the web, facebook or whatever you want.
4. nateoslo21 (Posts: 5; Member since: 26 Aug 2009)
Whoa! It's like watching the Blair Witch project all over again! Sweet phone though can't wait to get my hands on it. Screw Verizon and screw their lame data plans!
7. 321 (Posts: 9; Member since: 17 Aug 2009)
I believe this phone will launch on the 8th. I just spoke to a best buy rep and they have a dummy rogue on display. He said they have them in stock and it will be out next week.
8. jskrenes (Posts: 209; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
A preliminary price sheet that PhoneArena posted a few weeks ago had the phone listed at $370. $99.99 with a $10/mo data plan seems like they have fairly generously subsidized the cost of the phone with the plan. But still, there will probably be some resistance to mandatory data plans.

DURING spring bank holiday I visited the island of Crete with my family.
As well as the usual activities of a family holiday I was lucky enough to find some time to explore the wilder areas of this Greek island.
One of these forays into Crete's wild landscape took me on a walk up the slopes of its tallest mountain, Mount Idi, which stands 2,400m above sea level and offers some fantastic views.
Crete is the most southerly point in Europe and is separated from the coast of Africa by the Libyan Sea, a fact you become all too aware of when the normal prevailing northerly winds swing to the south bringing heavy, hot dust-laden air that tastes and smells of the nearby African desert.
Given the altitude and the southerly latitude of Idi I was expecting some really unusual flora and, if I was lucky, some fauna. As it turned out, fauna was hard to come by. The only real oddities were a couple of green, medium size lizards and scorpions.
The surprise was the flora, not how different it was but its strange familiarity. Once I had climbed above the cultivated olive groves the steep slopes of Idi were dominated by a heathland-like scrub. There was even a species of gorse.
Above this things were very bleak indeed but one plant was still flowering in abundance and that was the humble daisy. I was amazed that here in a bleak wind and sun blasted landscape at the most southerly tip of Europe the humble daisy was thriving.
I found myself feeling great admiration for this most familiar of plants. Back in England, the daisy has to be one of our commonest and most readily identified plants but away from our lawns or cut paths and rides it becomes hard to find out on the nature reserves, being out-competed by wild plants of taller stature.
The only places that come to mind where the daisy is found out on the reserves of the Wyre Forest district are the tightly rabbit grazed lawns of Burlish Top and Habberley Valley.
My thoughts concluded that the daisy had evolved to thrive in harsh environment where the natural pressures of grazing( Idi had a good helping of semi and feral goats) and or the environment prevent other more vigorous plants growing and shading out the daisy. On lawns, mowing machines mimic grazing by felling any thing of any stature and hence provide perfect conditions for the daisy to thrive.
Thinking back to Crete and its bleak hillside environment and the abundance of goats on Mount Idi I would have imagined that given there was so little else and the reputation of goats to eat just about anything, then the daisy must have another trick up its sleeve.
It turns out that daisy contains natural chemicals that dissuaded grazing animals and even most insects from eating it. The chemical contents of the humble daisy have not gone unnoticed by man and Roman armies used to gather daisies when they came across them and when the need arose they would make a potion from the leaves which they would add to bandages to help prevent wounds from become infected.

Virginia Tech's School of the Arts and Department of Theatre Arts present Caryl Churchill's one-act play Far Away in Squires Studio Theatre on Virginia Tech's campus. The show runs April 14–16, 21-23 at 8 p.m. and April 17 at 2 p.m.
Directed by faculty member Bob Leonard, Far Away is a haunting tale of a world in which the comforts of home come to blows with the horrors of war. Contemporary playwright Caryl Churchill spins a nightmarish vision of the apocalypse through simple dialogue and compelling characters. The story centers around Joan, a woman who weaves a web of somber beauty as she comes of age in a world engaged in total war.
Kate Raines, bachelor's candidate in Theatre, takes on the challenging task of playing Joan, a woman tormented by her childhood memories and troubled by the her adult-life reality. Alexandra Cohill will play the young Joan. Community actor Gail Evans portrays Joan's timid and secretive Aunt Harper who fears the fight that is ahead of her. Junior Theatre Arts major Barry Kidd plays Todd, Joan's friendly colleague thrusted into a turbulent world.
Far Away's tragic story is told in three scenes, including a human parade of community members that will fill the theatre with the chilling image of humanity preying upon itself.
Caryl Churchill's plays have molded the contemporary theater landscape. Her bodies of work show her strong commitment to socially-conscience topics. As a playwright, she creatively expresses her ideas and concerns for a world crumbling under global capitalism. One of Churchill's works, A Number, examined the effects of human cloning and was performed this past fall on the Virginia Tech campus as part of a Choice and Challenges conference.
Theatre Arts faculty members Randy Ward, Lisa Liebetrau, and David Wedin have designed the set, costumes and sound. Master's candidate Junko Yamada is the lighting designer.
Far Away is being produced as part of the main stage season by Virginia Tech's Department of Theatre Arts. Tickets are $8 general and $6 student/senior citizen. Purchases may be made online and at the Squires Ticket Office in the Squires Student Center on campus at (540) 231-5615. Ticket office hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For further information, contact the School of the Arts at (540) 231-5200.

The strategic balance of the Asia-Pacific region is changing and the consequences of conflict are more severe than ever, Prime Minister
Ms Gillard made the remarks at the opening session of the Boao Forum for Asia, which was attended by China's new President Xi Jinping and host of other leaders.
"We must also understand that continued and strengthened economic growth will keep changing the strategic order of our region," Ms Gillard said.
Ms Gillard said militaries across the region were "modernising" and the fast pace of growth was putting more pressure on energy, water and food resources.
"This does not make major power conflict inevitable – all countries in the region share a deep interest in strategic stability – but the consequences of conflict are ever more severe for us all," she said.
"This is nowhere more clear than on the Korean Peninsula."
The Prime Minister's remarks were delivered amid rising tensions across the region.
North Korea escalated its rhetoric in recent days and even threatened missile strikes against its neighbours, after the United Nations imposed tougher sanctions following its latest underground nuclear test.
At the same time China is locked in a damaging territorial dispute with Japan over disputed islands in the East China Sea.
Ms Gillard who is on a five day visit to China, is meeting with Mr Xi following the official opening of the Boao Forum. She will then spend part of Monday in Shanghai, before concluding her visit in Beijing.

" Address: 4 & 5 Sheep Street / Stratford-upon-Avon / CV37 6EF / UK "
The Vintner is one of my favourite UK restaurants and I was fairly surprised it was not already here on Dooyoo as it is one of the 3 big hitters of Stratford Upon Avon restaurants (the other two being it's sister restaurants Lambs and The Oppo).
All three of these restaurants sit in a line on Sheep Street and have built up a reputation as the place to go for pre or post theatre food and drinks, of the three The Vintner is my favourite because it is the more reasonably priced than Lambs but the food and service are equally good. I have not yet tried The Oppo (which is now owned by the same people) as if I can get in at the Vintner it is always my first choice.
So, this last bank holiday weekend my husband and I spent a leisurely weekend in Stratford, a town which I am very familiar with but he did not know at all.
I was determined we would eat here and therefore insisted we arrived for dinner at 6.30pm which is quite early, but I hoped would guarantee us a table. I was right to be so cautious, we got the last table for two available without booking and then watched at least 50 (I am not kidding) people stroll in and get turned away asking for the same thing.
Partly this popularity might be because it was a bank holiday and the sun had been out all day so Stratford was very busy, but I would seriously recommend booking here if you want a table at a particular time on a specific day.
Anyway, this restaurant has a very happy, lively atmosphere to it which I like. The staff are always very friendly and helpful and the service has been consistently good on the many times I have visited.
The a la carte menu here is quite varied and contains some great vegetarian options too, including a portobello mushroom burger which I have tried on previous occasions and can attest is very tasty. Appetizers are priced at £3.75 per item and there are plenty to choose from, including asparagus tips with crayfish mayonnaise and devilled chicken livers.
Starters are all between £4.75 and £6.95 and mains are between £10.95 and £16.25. They also offer a light meal section priced between £6.75 and £10.25 which features salads and bread based meals for in case you are not overly hungry. Steaks have their own section on the menu (and this place is renowned for them) and are priced from £12.25 for the rump up to £19.95 for the fillet.
Various sides are available for between £2.50 and £3.95 and the desserts are all £5.25, a cheeseboard is £6.25 but money well spent (so says my other half who had one this time round). It is also always worth checking the specials board which changes frequently and offers some great local produce.
We ordered a bottle of South African pinotage-shiraz for £14.50 off the very reasonable and quite extensive wine list and pondered over what to eat. Deciding to go for only mains and desserts as we had also had a substantial pub lunch, I opted for the rump steak with potato dauphinoise and a garlic and chilli butter, whilst my other half was intrigued by the fish stew on the specials board and ordered that.
Both of us were very impressed with our food (and I felt very smug after my insistance that this was THE place to eat that night), my steak was perfectly cooked as ever, I asked for it medium and it was like butter to cut, very tasty indeed and particularly complimented by the flavoured butter. My potato dauphinoise were deliciously indulgent and held the shape perfectly. I only wish I could master this dish at home as it is one of my favourites!
My other half was over the moon with his fish stew which contained king prawns, mussels, white fish and squid, he barely said a word while eating and then mopped up every last bit of the stew with some bread.
I have always adored the puddings here, which are home made and absolutely delicious (plus ridiculously generous portions) and I was glad I had opted out of a starter to leave room. I went for the strawberry cheesecake whilst the other half opted for the cheeseboard as previously mentioned.
As ever, my cheesecake was devine, so light and fluffy it could almost be a mousse if it didnt taste so rich, the base was not heavy either and the whole thing was thoroughly enjoyable. The cheeseboard consisted of some shropshire blue, brie and a mature cheddar, plus grapes, celery and some mixed crackered, it looked very good, was served beautifully presented on a long wooden board to be used as a plate and was, apparently all very good.
Our meal came to £58 including the wine which we considered very good value for the standard of food we had eaten. Considering the wonderful location, the standard of service and the demand that this place has, I think they do well not to be more expensive, but then this is probably why people choose them over Lambs in the first instance.
They also offer a two course set menu between 12-7pm, Monday to Friday which has some great options on it such as crabcakes and lamb casserole, excellent value if you are in town early.
Try and get a table in the window if you can as this is a great place for people watching. Also, be aware that the stairs are incredibly steep and the toilets are accessible via these this may be an issue for some. Booking is always recommended but this restaurant is well worth it if you can get in and remains one of my favourite UK restaurants still.

|Scientific classification
File:Entamoeba histolytica life cycle-en.svg
This page is about microbiologic aspects of the organism(s). For clinical aspects of the disease, see Amoebiasis.
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Jesus Rosario Hernandez, M.D. [2]
Entamoeba histolytica is a an anaerobic parasitic protozoan that is responsible for the development of amoebiasis.
Higher Order Classification
Cellular organisms; Eukaryota; Protista; Amoebozoa; Archamoebae; Entamoeba
Natural Reservoir
- Usually humans (only)
- Reports of animals as natural reservoirs of E. histolytica have been described.
Structure and Genome
- The exact number of chromosomes in E. histolytica is still unknown.
- The cysts of E. histolytica contain 4 nuclei with even distribution of chromatin between the nuclei.
- The trophozoites are spherical/oval shaped with a thin cell membrane and a single nucleus.
- E. histolytica is able to move using pseudopods.
Life Cycle
- Cysts and trophozoites are passed in human feces. Cysts are typically found in formed stool, whereas trophozoites are typically found in diarrheal stool.
- Infection by Entamoeba histolytica occurs by ingestion of mature cysts in fecally contaminated food, water, or hands.
- Excystation occurs in the small intestine and trophozoites are released, which migrate to the large intestine.
- The trophozoites multiply by binary fission and produce cysts, and both stages are passed in the feces.
- Because of the protection conferred by their walls, the cysts can survive days to weeks in the external environment and are responsible for transmission.
- Trophozoites passed in the stool are rapidly destroyed once outside the body, and if ingested would not survive exposure to the gastric environment.
- In many cases, the trophozoites remain confined to the intestinal lumen (A: noninvasive infection) of individuals who are asymptomatic carriers, passing cysts in their stool.
- In some patients the trophozoites invade the intestinal mucosa (B: intestinal disease), or, through the bloodstream, extraintestinal sites such as the liver, brain, and lungs (C: extraintestinal disease), with resultant pathologic manifestations.
- It has been established that the invasive and noninvasive forms represent two separate species, respectively E. histolytica and E. dispar. These two species are morphologically indistinguishable unless E. histolytica is observed with ingested red blood cells (erythrophagocystosis).
- Transmission can also occur through exposure to fecal matter during sexual contact (in which case not only cysts, but also trophozoites could prove infective).
Microbiological Characteristics
|Genus and Species
|Entamoeba histolytica
|Etiologic Agent of:
|Amoebiasis; Amoebic dysentery; Extraintestinal Amoebiasis, usually Amoebic Liver Abscess = "anchovy sauce"); Amoeba Cutis; Amoebic Lung Abscess ("liver-colored sputum")
|Infective stage
|Definitive Host
|Portal of Entry
|Mode of Transmission
|Ingestion of mature cyst through contaminated food or water
|Colon and Cecum
|Pathogenic Stage
|Locomotive apparatus
|Pseudopodia ("False Foot")
|Active, Progressive and Directional
|'Ring and dot' appearance: peripheral chromatin and central karyosome
|Mode of Reproduction
|Binary Fission
|Lytic necrosis (it looks like "flask-shaped" holes in Gastrointestinal tract sections (GIT)
|Type of Encystment
|Protective and Reproductive
|Lab Diagnosis
|Most common is Direct Fecal Smear (DFS) and staining (but does not allow identification to species level); Enzyme immunoassay (EIA); Indirect Hemagglutination (IHA); Antigen detection – monoclonal antibody; PCR for species identification. Culture: From faecal samples - Robinson's medium, Jones' medium

FINGERS flying, Jayden McNeill can solve a Rubik's cube in little more than the blink of the eye.
The 14-year-old Alfred Deakin High School student fell in love with the puzzle about two years ago, when friends introduced him to the concept of speed cubing.
Now he is rarely without one, carrying them to school in his bag and sometimes cubing under his desk between classes.
Jayden has travelled to Sydney, Melbourne and Newcastle for competitions, and in July he and his mother Lyn Svanosio will fly to Las Vegas to compete at the World Championships.
Jayden said he is not in training for the championships, he just cubes for fun.
"It's just relaxing, something like that, I don't see it as a puzzle, it's more like a toy," he said.
While a cube with three-by-three tiles is standard, there are also cubes with four tiles on each side, and much larger ones, including eight-by-eight.
At competitions, enthusiasts compete to solve cubes in the fewest moves, or as quickly as possible. There are one-handed solving competitions, and some people even solve blindfolded.
At the most recent National Championships in Melbourne, Jayden solved a three-by-three cube in 33 moves, making him the reigning national champion in that division. His official average speed for solving a two-by-two cube is 2.96 seconds, which places him 43rd in the world out of about 20,000 players.
While maths is his best subject at school, Jayden insists that is not what makes him a great cuber.
Ms Svanosio said competitive cubers were mainly aged between about 14 and 18. She said the cubing community was friendly and competed mostly against themselves, so were willing to help each other with tips.
"I think it's been really good for [Jayden] … he's made a lot of friends and the people who are involved in it, they're not nerds or anything like that, but they're good kids, they have fun," she said.
On Saturday, Ms Svanosio held a Rubik's cube competition in Fyshwick, and was surprised by how many people entered. She hoped a Canberra cubing community would emerge.

USING "REAL" STORIES TO TEACH 21st century READING
So: THESE ARE BOOKS INTENDED TO TEACH READING AND CRITICAL THINKING as well as social studies. They are meant to inspire writing; Joy's informal style seems to do just that. Student writers are expected to research, write, and be themselves when they draw conclusions. That process is impossible without doing some thinking.
Joy Hakim's books use an ancient teaching method: STORYTELLING. Today it is known as narrative nonfiction.
THE VOICE OF AMERICA wanted to see how Joy's books work in classrooms. Here's a link to a story they sent worldwide:
http://www.voanews.com/content/joy-hakim-finds-stories-in-us-history/3390875.html. A Texas teacher, using the books to teach reading to low achieving students, saw scores soar and was named Texas Teacher of the Year.
Joy's next books, The Story of Science, were published by the Smithsonian with coordinated "hands on" experiments and activities (from Johns Hopkins and NSTA's former president Juliana Texley). The series begins with stories from ancient Greece and ends with modern theories of the cosmos. The Story of Science won the 2008 Benjamin Franklin Award, the 2008 Selectors Choice CBC/NSTA's Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students K-12, and a Best Science Book of the Year award (topping all categories) from U.S.A. Books. This is world history with a scientific backbone: appropriate for our time.
Freedom: A History of Us was written to accompany a 16-part PBS television series Freedom: A History of Us. The TV series is available on DVDs from PBS. The book works especially well in high school or freshman college history classes. Freedom: A History of US is narrated by Katie Couric with Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hanks, and a bevy of well-known celebrities, this TV series was designed with classroom use in mind. Here's a link to the PBS teacher/student website: go to PBS.org/historyofus. The book is available from Social Studies School Services.
Joy's recent works are ebooks: Reading Science Stories and "Free To Believe (Or Not)," the STORY OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN AMERICA. That book includes some surprises, it also attempts to teach children how to read original documents. Do you know of the Flushing Remonstrance? Read about it here.
A HISTORY OF US is also published in ebook format (text but no illustrations); THE STORY OF SCIENCE is in beautifully illustrated ebook format and is also translated into Korean and Chinese.
Teaching materials to accompany A History of US are available from Oxford University Press, as well as from the teacher/educator CSOS team at Johns Hopkins University (on Amazon). That team has also done imaginative learning books to go with The Story of Science. NSTA's president, Juliana Texley has done an amazing teaching resource to accompany "Einstein Adds A New Dimension."NSTA has made teaching materials available on their website.
K12 has produced an abridged 4 volume edition of A History of Us.

Unions want broader, tighter ergo rule
- The standard is not proactive enough — Employers must be required to fix ergonomic-related hazards before employees are injured;
- The standard allows too much time for compliance;
- OSHA must set a timetable for ergo requirements covering the railroad industry, construction, agriculture, and maritime industries.
Within three weeks of the standard being published, these groups had filed court challenges: AFL-CIO; Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees; United Steelworkers; American Iron and Steel Institute; International Brotherhood of Teamsters; Oregon AFL-CIO; National Association of Manufacturers; U.S. Chamber of Commerce; Labor Policy Association; Society for Human Resource Management; National Beer Wholesalers Association; National Coalition on Ergonomics; and Atlantic Indemnity Company.

Every Wednesday is List Day, or Tip Day, or Quiz Day.
This Wednesday: Johnny Cash's to-do list.
I love lists in every form, whether by me or by other people. I was crushed to realize that I'd missed the Morgan Library's recent exhibition, Lists: To-dos, illustrated inventories, collected thought and other artists' enumerations. I really wanted to see that.
I was enchanted to see Phil Patton's piece in the New York Times on Our Longing for Lists. The piece was illustrated with the image of Johnny Cash's to-do list (which, by the way, reportedly sold at auction in December 2010 for $6,250).
Here's the list. On a sheet printed with the words, "Things To Do Today!" Johnny Cash wrote:
Not smoke
Kiss June
Not kiss anyone else
Not eat too much
Go see Mama
Practice piano
In the section marked NOTES at the bottom, he wrote
Not write notes
I was gratified to see that Johnny Cash follows one of my Secrets of Adulthood: Every to-do list should include a few items that can be accomplished in the next five minutes. Important for morale. And even Johnny Cash had to practice piano.
It was interesting to see that "Worry" was on the list. Most people try not to worry; I'd be very curious to learn why Johnny Cash wanted to worry, and what he intended to worry about. Or maybe he was thinking "Not eat too much" and "Not worry," and just wrote it down that way.
How about you? Do you find to-do lists helpful? Do you keep them on paper or 0n a device? I still use paper.
Want to win a free copy of Happier at Home? I'm giving away one book each day for the next month.

Bali, the most beautiful island in Indonesia and for most foreigners often the only Indonesian island they see, offers something for everybody. From beaches, to mountains, shopping centers and clubs Bali has it all. Bali, or the Island of Gods, is always busy by many visitors both domestic and international. Most of its citizens work in the tourism sector. And although it's a hugely popular destination for foreigners, Bali cherishes its traditions and there are many traditional events you can see while in Bali.
It is believed the first population in Bali was immigrant from Asia coming to the island around 3000-2500 BC. Stone tools found in Cekik village point to this. Since the Hindu religion and Indian culture came to Bali, the pre-historical era of Bali is mostly gone. After the 1st century Balinese culture has been developing rapidly.

Beaches are of course were Bali is famous for, Kuta Beach especially. Be sure to see the beautiful sunset here. At Lovina Beach you can see hundreds of friendly and cute dolphins. And you can visit the Safari Park to see lots of animals in their habitat.
Bali is one of the few places in the world were it is difficult to be bored. There are so many things you can do the list is pretty much endless. At Nusa Dua or Tanjung Benoa on the southern side of Bali you rent a jetski, banana boat, go parasailing, snorkeling, scuba diving etc. Clubbing and drinking in Kuta. Diving at Amed (east Bali), National Parks to explore and mountains to hike, Bali has it all.
Authentic Balinese food is often spicy. For example Ayam or Bebek Betutu, which is made of chicken (ayam) or duck (bebek) filled with spices and roasted in a hole in the ground on burning husks. Preparing Betutu takes a full day and you have to order it in advance. If you have the chance, be sure to try it.
Another spicy dish is Jenggo Rice. Jenggo rice is pretty much like Kucing rice in Yogyakarta with different side dishes like fried noodle and chicken breast. The last but not least is Sate Lilit which is made of grilled meat, chicken or duck, mixed with various spices.
Bali is served by the Ngurah Rai Airport.
Bali's airport Ngurah Rai is located 13 km south of Denpasar and only 2.5 km from Kuta. It is named after I Gusti Ngurah Rai, an Indonesian National Hero who died in a puputan (fight to the death) against the Dutch at Marga during the Indonesian Revolution in 1946. The airport has undergone some major renovations lately significantly improving the congestion and facilities.
Some hotels organize free transfers from the airport, but there are plenty of other options available.
Taxies: go to the ticketing booth, on the right side just after the exit, buy a fixed-fare ticket and a driver will be assigned to you. When you are on a budget, you can flag down a taxi from outside the airport. If you are a girl, or traveling alone do take a Blue Bird Taxis as they are safe and reliable.
Alternatively, you can walk outside the airport to the main street where you can flag down a bemo (local minivan). Most of the bemos in this area will be heading to Kuta and be prepared for a hot, crowded journey. Especially at night, transport options are limited, but the distance to Kuta is just a few kilometers so you could even walk it. Be sure to have a map though because you need to make a few turns but the road is busy and well lit.

Definition of the noun arquebus
What does arquebus mean as a name of something?
noun - plural: arquebuses
- an obsolete firearm with a long barrel
- lexical domain: Artifacts - nouns denoting man-made objects
- synonyms of arquebus: hackbut / hagbut / harquebus
- more generic term: muzzle loader = an obsolete firearm that was loaded through the muzzle
The arquebus, or "hook tube", is an early muzzle-loaded firearm used in the 15th to 17th centuries. It can be distinguished from its predecessor, the hand cannon, by the presence of a matchlock firing action. Like its successor the musket, it is a smoothbore firearm, but was initially lighter and easier to carry.

Spending in the top 30 markets plunges nearly 50 percent, while total long-form billings for 2010 slide nearly 5 percent, falling $53,855,500 short of 2009 totals.
Fourth-quarter 2010 long-form DRTV media billings dropped nearly 13 percent to $239,730,400, a decline of $35.5 million when compared to the same quarter of the previous year. It is the lowest reported fourth-quarter result since 2004, and mimics the results of this year's first quarter, which saw an 8.1-percent decrease in spending. (In contrast, both 2Q 2010 and 3Q 2010 saw slight jumps of 2.8 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively.) Fourth-quarter 2009 is the only 4Q to reflect a rise in long-form media billings since 2006.
Total 2010 long-form media spending was $1,054,723,000 — falling $53,855,500 short of 2009 totals. The 4.9-percent decrease follows in the footsteps of 2009's year-on-year decline, when total long-form media billings dropped 5.5 percent when compared to 2008.
Facing the Music
Only five of the 15 measured categories reported gains in 4Q 2010, just half of the gains reported last year. The "Other" category took top dollar- and percentage-gain honors, spiking 86.2 percent ($16,743,000). This is a complete reversal of fortune from 4Q 2009, in which the "Other" category was both the biggest dollar-on-dollar and percentage loser of the quarter. "Automotive" earned the second-highest percentage gain, jumping 73 percent ($5,601,700) in 4Q 2010, while "Fundraising" also enjoyed a healthy 58-percent increase of about $4 million.
The majority of categories did not fare so well, however. The "Music and Video" category took the sharpest percentage dive in 4Q 2010, dropping 69.3 percent (nearly $4.9 million) to just $2,157,600. "Health and Fitness" — which reported the second-biggest dollar loss in 4Q 2009 — suffered the biggest dollar loss of $12,422,700, a 26.7-percent decrease.
Broadcast Leads Loss in Time Slots Purchased
Satellite was the sole long-form media distribution outlet to post a slight gain in 4Q 2010, with a dollar increase of $578,400 (just 0.24 percent when compared to the same quarter of the prior year). National cable dropped 17.1 percent, losing $24,595,200, while broadcast saw an $11,483,200 dip of 10.7 percent. The total number of time slots purchased dropped 25,348 (4.2 percent), with broadcast losing the most — 58,692 less than in 4Q 2009. Despite the overall loss in total time slots purchased, national cable saw a 17.3-percent increase (30,062) in slots purchased, while satellite enjoyed a small jump of 3,282 (6.6 percent).
Spending in the top 30 markets plummeted 47.4 percent ($60,271,600) in 4Q 2010 — an intriguing result. The toughest losses were seen in markets 10-20, which lost nearly $23 million, a 56.4-percent decrease. The other top markets were not far behind though, with the top 10 declining 41.7 percent and markets 21-30 dropping 46.8 percent when compared to 4Q 2009.
The cost of an average block of long-form time dropped nearly 10 percent to $417.13. This result, when combined with top-30 spending numbers, may actually provide some light at the end of the tunnel for long-form DRTV advertisers.
While longer-running campaigns have been the rule of late, with few new hits on the long-form landscape, perhaps marketers are beginning to test more new campaigns — which generally happens in smaller markets, with lower-cost media. After back-to-back years of losses, one can hope this possibility is the case as the industry dives into the heart of 2011.

To the editor:
Is our president a dictator who should be impeached? Let's think. To impeach a president, we need a vote by Congressmen who are elected democratically. Dictators don't stand for this. They steal and hold power by force. They don't hold free elections. No one can impeach them. They dictate.
Are we so lulled by living in a democratic, peaceful land, that we can't tell the difference between ourselves and people who live under dictators? Has anyone in your family "disappeared" lately? Have they been raped, tortured, or killed by the police for saying something unkind about the government?
Democracy isn't easy. We have to put up with ignorant, racist, and self-centered people; and some perfectly decent people who nevertheless disagree with us. Democracy takes patience and compromise. In the end, almost nobody gets exactly what they want, but we all get what we want, that is, a democratic, functioning country in which to live.
Many of our current Congressmen seem unable to work together in order to keep our country moving. It seems we are constipated by a shortage of trust and respect. People move to the extreme right and left and stand shouting at each other. Please vote with care.
Lately, I heard that when we the people become more divided into the extremes of rich and poor, we tend to polarize ourselves politically. Perhaps this happens because everyone is stressed and looking for who to blame.
If you are a struggling Tea Party Republican and I am a struggling bleeding-heart liberal in this country, we are probably more alike than we are different.
We both vote in a land that has a free press. Our laws are mostly fair and reasonable. Our government leaders are not dictators, and we live in relative peace. Everyone should be so lucky.
Debra Bellman, Grey Eagle

Australia's request to draft an extra player into the world cup squad to replace the injured Luke Lewis has been rejected.
The Kangaroos approached tournament officials in a bid to call up[ a replacement after Lewis was ruled out of the tournament with a shoulder injury, sustained when the Sharks second-rower crashed into an advertising hoarding during the 36-2 win over Fiji at the weekend.
Officials met on Tuesday to consider the request, which was denied.
Meanwhile, Samoa have been able to add former Penrith back-rower Tony Puletua to the squad after three players were ruled out of the tournament, reducing their squad to 21 players.
Reni Maitua (groin) Harrison Hansen (leg) and Frank Winterstein (pectoral) are all injured.
Samoa beat PNG 38-4 in their most recent pool game to book themselves a quarter-finals berth.

Patients & Visitors
Billing & Payment Information
Illinois Valley Community Hospital is committed to providing high-quality health care and service to our patients. In order to continue this mission, it is essential that payment be received for services provided.
As a courtesy to our patients and their families, IVCH will submit claims on your behalf to any insurance company according to established guidelines. To do this efficiently, it is important to present accurate and complete insurance information at the time of registration.
By working together, we can minimize billing costs as well as potential misunderstandings that could be costly to our patients and their families.
Physician Services
We only bill for IVCH Emergency Room physicians and cardiology professional services. All other physicians are independent practitioners and will bill you or your insurance carrier directly.
Insurance Precertification
It is important for you to know if your insurance company or HMO/PPO require precertification for any care provided at a hospital. If precertification is required and you or your physician do not take steps to ensure this authorization is obtained, you may be responsible for reduced benefits due to penalty costs or the possible denial of the entire claim.
Insurance Billing
Within 45 days after billing, you will be billed for any balance due. If you have not provided us with adequate information to bill your insurance company, we will bill you.
For Medicare Patients
We will bill Medicare for all covered charges and also bill one supplemental insurance plan for you for the balance if you have provided us with that information. If payment is not received within 30 days from your secondary insurance, we will ask you to contact your insurance carrier to speed up the payment. If you do not have secondary insurance, we will bill you directly for the remaining balance.
Noncovered Medicare Items
Medicare does not cover all services provided in the hospital setting. Here are two examples of noncovered Medicare Services:
- Some drugs in the outpatient hospital setting may not be covered by Medicare. These include pills, ointments, eye drops and some injectables. IVCH has made every effort to identify covered drugs. IVCH will bill you for any noncovered medicare drugs used during your visit.
- Ambulance services must meet Medicare's Medical Necessity criteria to be covered. If the patient is able to sit in a wheelchair, the ambulance service is most likely not covered.
For more information regarding noncovered Medicare services, call 815.780.3554.
For Medicaid Patients
We accept all Illinois Department of Public Aid patients with hospitalization coverage shown on a current valid card. The patient is responsible for payment of the spend-down portion when applicable.
Public Injury or Other Claims Involving Litigation
In cases where liability insurance or litigation is involved, we will expect payment from you regardless of your claim against another party. With proper authorization, we will make our records available to you or your attorney.
Employment-Related Injuries
If your employer has recognized your injury as work-related, we will bill your employer. If payment is not received within 30 days of the billing date, we will ask you to contact your employer to expedite payment. If your claim is denied by your employer or worker's compensation carrier, you will be billed directly.
Non-Work-Related Injuries
If insurance is not involved, you are fully responsible for your hospital bill. It should be paid within 30 days of receipt of our bill.
Workers' Compensation Cases
We will recognize workers' compensation cases when the insurance company guarantees payment in writing prior to or at the time of your admission.
Health Claims Counseling Service
The IVCH health claims counseling service offers free assistance to people who are having difficulty understanding or processing health care bills and insurance claims. Health claims counselors can help organize bills for payment and assist with Medicare and insurance companies. For more information, call 815.780.3131.
Payment Arrangements
Payment in full is expected within 30 days for any balance due by you. If you need to make payment arrangements, please call 815.780.3764 to discuss your options.
It is very important that if you cannot pay the balance due that you contact our Collections Department to ensure your account is not forwarded to an agency for collection.

Lyttelton landslide and Mobil Terminal spill response
Update from Mobil Oil New Zealand
March 7 2014
Lyttelton landslide and Mobil Terminal spill response
. A response team continues to work on site at Mobil Lyttelton Terminal following a jet fuel spill from a tank damaged by a landslide due to severe storms.
. Mobil is continuing to pump out the jet fuel captured in the concrete walled containment area around the tank. The fuel is being pumped into another tank at the terminal.
. We are working as quickly as possible to pump all the jet fuel back into tanks and significant progress has been made with over half the fuel pumped out. Our focus continues to be completing this safely.
. We anticipate that it could take several more days to complete pumping the jet fuel in the containment area into storage tanks.
. This incident is unusual and caused by a rare weather event. We apologise that our clean-up operations are contributing to the disruption caused by the storm.
. The leak of jet fuel to the harbour from the secondary containment area has been contained. Remaining traces of jet fuel in the drains are being captured by absorbent booms in the drains, and as an additional precaution a boom has been placed across the drain entry point into the harbour.
. We continue to work closely with the Harbour Master, who has the lead on the marine response. There are no ongoing on-water recovery activities.
. We are continuing to monitor the situation closely. Our priority continues to be to prevent any further release of fuel off-site.
. Fuel supply operations are continuing at the terminal. The terminal has a very important role in supplying fuel to the Canterbury Region and the South Island.
. Our supply organisation is working closely with our customers in relation to ongoing supply arrangements. There are currently no shortages in the Christchurch market.
. We have completed an inspection of the Woolston pipeline to ensure it did not suffer any damage in the storm. The pipeline was returned to operation on Thursday afternoon.
. We're focussed on managing the current issue and then will be in a better position to make further assessments of the damage to the two impacted tanks.
. Mobil will conduct a full investigation when it is safe to do so, including establishing whether the landslide caused any damage to the bunding - this is currently unknown.
. Further information is available from Mobil's community hotline on 0800 777 979 during business hours.

2nd Baltimore officer suspended amid probe of dog's death
BALTIMORE — A second Baltimore officer has been suspended while the department investigates his role in the slitting of a dog's throat. The animal's owner says it took her days to find out how the dog died.
Court documents say Officer Thomas Schmidt held the dog down while a fellow officer cut the animal's throat on Saturday. Schmidt has been suspended with pay during the investigation, Baltimore Police spokesman Jeremy Silbert said.
"This is so criminal what's happened," said the 45-pound dog's owner, Sarah Gossard. "It makes me sick."
She said detectives contacted her Tuesday to see whether she wanted to make a statement but didn't tell her how the dog had died. She said she finally found out the next day when she was contacted by a reporter.
The officer accused of slitting the dog's throat, 49-year-old Jeffrey Bolger, is set for trial next month on animal cruelty charges. He's free on his own recognizance and has been suspended without pay.
Schmidt has not been charged.
The dog, a female Shar-Pei named Nala, was killed on Saturday when police responded to a report that it had bitten a woman at a bar. The dog died from blood loss.
According to charging documents, witnesses told detectives that Bolger cut the dog's throat with a knife after saying he would "gut this thing." Authorities said the knife he used wasn't department-issued.
Bolger came to assist other officers after one said the dog was foaming at the mouth and appeared malnourished.

"Sí Se Puede," a new campaign to increase awareness, enrollment and success in higher education among Hispanics, is being launched this month across the region by Educational Programs and Opportunities to Create Achievement (EPOCA), a team of representatives from business, educational, public sector and community groups. WATCH VIDEO
Partners on the EPOCA team include AEP Texas, HEB, Intercultural Development Research Association (IDRA), Community Health Development, Inc., Eagle Pass ISD, Uvalde CISD, Middle Rio Grande Workforce Solutions, Sul Ross State University – Rio Grande College, St. Henry De Osso Family Project and Southwest Texas Junior College.
Funding for the project comes from a $600,000 grant from the Lumina Foundation secured by Southwest Texas Junior College in 2011. SWTJC was the only college in Texas, and one of 12 partnerships nationwide, to be awarded grants through Lumina's Latino Student Success Initiative.
"We will launch the Sí Se Puede campaign in connection with the start of the new school year," Willie Edwards, a UCISD trustee and EPOCA core-team member, explained. "We also plan to have a big presence at this year's Palomino Festival."
According to Edwards, posters in English and Spanish will be placed in businesses, schools and other public places across the region. The posters show a progression of students from kindergarten through college graduate, with the slogan: Yes You Can – It's never too early, or too late, to think about a college education.
At the Palomino Festival, facts about the value of a post-secondary degree or credential, Hispanic college attainment percentages and predicted educational requirements for the future labor force, will be displayed on video screens at various locations on the grounds of the Uvalde County Fairplex.
Local elementary school children will be featured in a video explaining steps young students should take to get ready for college. Testimonials from non-traditional students who have returned to college later in life and succeeded will also be featured.
"In 2008, the Lumina Foundation announced its 'Big Goal' that, by the year 2025, 60% of Americans will have a high-quality post-secondary credential," said UCISD school trustee Willie Edwards, an EPOCA core team member. "In 2011, Lumina announced a $7.2 million Latino Student Success Initiative, to help reach this goal."
According to Edwards, Lumina's logic for targeting Hispanics is based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau which shows Hispanics lagging well behind other ethnic groups in college attainment.
"In 2011, among all U.S. adults between the ages of 25 and 64, a total of 38.7% had attained an associate degree or better. Among Hispanics, the attainment was only 19.31%, the lowest of all ethnic groups," Edwards said. "Since Hispanics are the fastest growing population in the U.S., and they have the lowest college attainment, Lumina knows that increasing the college success rate for Hispanics will be critical in reaching its 'Big Goal.'"
Texas Hispanics have an even lower college attainment rate than the national average at 17.18%, according to data in Lumina Foundation's 2013 annual report: "A Stronger Nation Through Higher Education."
The Lumina Foundation report also lists overall college attainment rates for all Texas counties. Travis County (51.3%), Denton County (49.25%), Fort Bend (48.93), Kendall (48.88%) and Williamson (46.82%) are the top five counties in terms of overall college attainment.
Statistics for the 11 counties served by SWTJC show attainment rates as follows: Medina, 27.56%; Real, 26.9%; Val Verde, 26.17%; Edwards, 25.63%; Uvalde, 24.3%; Kinney, 22.98%; Maverick, 20.10%; Zavala, 16.99%; Dimmit, 16.16%; La Salle, 11.84%; and Frio, 11.59%.
Of the $600,000 awarded through the grant, the EPOCA team gave sub-grants of $80,000 to the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District and $50,000 to the St. Henry de Osso Family Project.
"UCISD is using its grant to help fund a new college readiness advisor position and to fund new initiatives through the district's parenting program," Edwards explained. "St. Henry De Osso will use its funds to expand its 'I Can' program for at-risk students."
SWTJC will utilize the remainder of the grant funds to strengthen its collaboration with Rio Grande College, improve student advising, expand and strengthen dual enrollment programs, increase tutoring and other services offered through the college's student success centers and add summer orientation programs at all main college campuses.
"We commend the Lumina Foundation for its focus on Hispanic student success and we look forward to working with all our EPOCA partners to help raise the bar on college attainment across the region," said SWTJC President Dr. Hector Gonzales.

In an interview on the set of the Colin Tilley-directed music video, the 'Never Say Never' singer promises ice and fire for the upcoming clip.
Justin Bieber certainly knows how to please his Beliebers. Just a few days after sending his fans into frenzy with the release of his new single "Boyfriend", the teen singer releases an official teaser for its music video, much to their delight.
Without giving too much detail, the sneak peek features Bieber singing the song under the light in a dim-lit room. As the boyfriend of Selena Gomez delivers the pre-hook, several manicured hands appear around him and give him a loving caress.
"The concept of this video, I mean it's not like a steady concept," he explained when met by MTV on the video set in California. "It's not like 'Justin follows this girl to this spot.' No, it's a bunch of amazing scenes: Like a fire scene, we have an ice scene."
There will also be a scene which shows off Bieber's dancing skills. "It's kind of like bouncing back and forth," he gushed. "And then there's scenes of me and just a bunch of girl dancers, and just some great shots, great artistic shots, great shots of me smiling. It's fun."
He worked with director Colin Tilley for this video. "The video's really good. Colin has done a great job," he said. "The lighting has been amazing and everything's been so unique and I haven't seen anything like it. So, I think people are going to be really surprised."
A lead single from Bieber's new album "Believe", "Boyfriend" was released for radio airplay and digital download on March 26 to a positive response. He is bound to debut high on Billboard Hot 100 with the single. Its accompanying music video is promised to come out sometime soon.

Day 27 - Christchurch
Bit of a sleep in and slower start to a cooler and drizzly day. After breakfast we caught a bus into the city - about 25 minutes. Then walked rapidly to catch a one hour red bus tour to orientate ourselves and find out more about Christchurch.
Sat on the open air top deck and saw all of the city centre. Incredibly frightening to see the aftermath of the 2010 and 2011 quakes. As well as the dominance of the red no-go zone in the middle of the city there are empty blocks all through the other areas where buildings had either fallen over or been demolished. All the major churches are considerably damaged but decisions about their future is still not decided so they remain reminders of the past. Eerily the Casino was undamaged and was the first building open after the first contraction of the red zone. The site of the CTV building where most of the fatalities occurred is just a bare patch of ground with security fence covered in floral wreaths. The AMI stadium at Lancaster Park falsely appears relatively unscathed except for the weeds that grow on the field where liquefaction has turned it into a gravel pit and it is apparent that the base of the stands have sunk into the ground unevenly. One stand over the entrance to the ground was demolished.
After a coffee to warm up we walked to the Newstart container mall in the city centre. A very bright attractive area built predominantly out of containers where banks and shops have attempted to normalize commerce but it was obvious that most of the people were tourists and it wasn't crowded. Plans for the city centre are focussing on recreational areas, gardens and a large convention and entertainment centre. In ten years Christchurch may well emerge as a modern uncluttered city having been able to rid itself of the assortment of derelict and badly designed buildings that plague most other cities inner areas.
We made a financial contribution to the economy before returning to the hotel. Easily the coldest, wettest day of the entire trip so a warm soup for lunch and time to reorganise the bags was the order of the afternoon.
We will have time to kill at the airport tomorrow with a chance to reflect on our adventures over the last three weeks.
Initial thoughts - generally 9/10. Simply awesome geography; locals friendly and helpful; roads, hotels, services, food generally 4 -5 star.
Would we recommend travelling with Scenic Tours in NZ? Definitely. Small group travel worked well - our companions were friendly and pretty easy to live with; tour guide and coach captains knowledgeable, helpful/tolerant and amusing; majority of choices were good value for money.
Will we come back to NZ? Who knows - there are many places here we would enjoy spending more time in but it is a big world out there and other places that we are yet to experience.

Chén Yuán 陳垣 (1880-1971)
Chén Yuán 陳垣 (1880-1971) was a founding figure in the history of religion in China, author of several studies on Chinese Buddhism, and a former head of Fǔrén University 輔仁大學.
Chén received a classical education as a child but failed to pass the civil service exams. In 1905 he established Shíshì huàbào 時事畫報 (The Illustrated Times) in Guǎngzhōu 廣州, and two years later entered a medical school. After the establishment of the Republic of China in 1911 he was selected as a representative to the National Assembly 國會 in Běijīng 北京. In 1919 he became a Protestant Christian, and in 1921 became vice-minister of the Ministry of Education, but soon left to pursue scholarship, gaining fame as a historian with his Yuán yělǐkěwēn kǎo 元也里可溫考 (Investigation into Christianity during the Yuan Dynasty), written in 1917 and later published by Commercial Press 商務印書館 in 1923.
In 1911 Chén had helped Mǎ Xiàngbó 馬相伯 and Yīng Liǎnzhī 英斂之 establish a Catholic University in Běijīng. The school was founded in 1925 as Fǔrén shè 輔仁社, but when Yīng died the following year, Chén was asked to join as an administrator. After the school gained official status in 1929 as Fǔrén University 輔仁大學, Chén served as president.
After the establishment of the People's Republic, Chén was praised by Máo Zédōng 毛澤東 as a "national treasure". In 1952 he continued to serve as president when Fǔrén merged with Beijing Normal University 北京師範大學, and formally joined the Communist Party in 1959. Chén was put under house arrest during the Cultural Revolution, and died at home in 1971.
Note that many of these works circulated in manuscript or article form before they were formally published.
