Letters to the Editor
RE "CARDINAL rips suicide ballot effort" (Metro, Sept. 19): It is one thing for Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley to stress his religious doctrine against legal termination of life, but quite another to object to a referendum on the issue. As an 84-year-old with disabling spinal stenosis, and one not subject to the dogma of his church, I would welcome the choice to select a peaceful end to life and to hardship on my family, should that time come. It should be my option to have access to a ballot and vote.

GLASGOW escaped the worst of the lashing rain and fierce wind as the remnants of Hurricane Bertha battered Britain.
Winds gusting at almost 50mph struck down south yesterday, while nearly a month's rainfall was dumped over parts of the country in just one night.
However, although it was a wet and miserable day for the west of Scotland, the predicted storm did not materialise in the city.
Forecasters at the Met Office issued weather warnings for large areas of Scotland and motorists were urged to take care.
The storm started as a hurricane in the Caribbean and brought winds of up to 90mph cutting off power to thousands of homes.
Although Bertha started off as a hurricane, it has now been downgraded to a storm.
Rachael Vince, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, said: "It is more of an autumnal storm. We did have that heatwave in July, so it will feel distinctly more autumnal this week as a whole.
"But we are in an unsettled spell of weather for this week with showers and perhaps some thunderstorms through the rest of the week."

Knoxx Spec-Ops stock ???'s
Anyone have any experience with these stocks - I can't seem to get a definitive answer about them one way or the other (other than the AD's)
I would like a HANDS on review from someone that has fired a shotgun (preferably a Rem 870) with one on the rifle?
I have a hard time believing 80% recoil reduction...
Anyone ?

I have one on an 870 and it performs as advertised. It's actually fun to shoot slugs. I think a small woman or a medium sized child could shoot slugs with minimal discomfort. It's a good choice for home defence where you would want to train your wife and child to use a shotgun.
Remington likes the concept so well that they are producing several models with the Knoxx stock.

I have one on a remington 870 marine magnum and love it.
With the gun unloaded....
You can put the butt on the ground and push down on the barrel and see the gun sink into the stock and then come back out when you stop pushing down.
Does not work with extended safety buttons installed since they will hit on the stock and keep the gun from going into the stock as it should.

I've been happy with the Knoxx on my 870. I think the 80% figure is a little overstated, but the recoil reduction is noticeable. I like the fact that you don't really have as much muzzle jump as with a normal stock...the gun tends to move straight back instead of up and back. If nothing else, it's a cool piece of gear.

Best after market purchase I have ever made. Recoil in half I would say. I can put hundreds of rounds downfield with no soreness the next day. Follows ups are faster and the recoil is more push than punch.
Knoxx had a lifetime warranty with a stated 100% customer satisfaction policy, meaning they wanted nothing but happy owners. That was before the buyout by blackhawk, and I haven't heard if any of that has changed.

I had the SpecOps, and my friend has the CopStock.
80% recoil reduction is a misnomer. The recoil is still there, but spread out over a far greater timeframe. Instead of a quick shock to the shoulder, more of a moderate shove. Keep in mind the SpecOps has *two* recoil reducers, one in the grip, the other in the collapsible stock. I can definitively say the Knoxx has far better reduction than any other device/pad I've tried.
CopStock, made me a believer out of the Knoxx system. Uncomfortable as all get out and chewed the heck out of my thumb knuckle, but I was in LOVE soon as I used it.
That being said, I couldn't line up the sights on my 500 with the SpecOps...too high up. Mossberg stock spacers helped but I ended up selling it. Also it made the slide release almost impossible to reach on the 500.
If I had to do it all over again, it would be the CompStock for general shooting purposes. SpecOps for strictly HD.

I purchased a Remington 870 model 81400, Tactical 2, 18.5 inch barrel, 12 gauge with the Knoxx spec-ops stock already on it from the factory...
I just got it yesterday - thanks to all those that helped. I have had Mossbergs 590A1 (never fired, sold right away) a Mossberg 930SPX and I currently have a Mossberg 500 persuader in 20 gauge and although the Mossbergs are fine shotguns there just seems to be something missing with them.
Almost as if there just not finished or something (probably making myself look stupid) but I can't come up with the right words to discribe my discontent with Mossberg products. Maybe someone else can chime in... I mean no offense to anyone that owns a Mossberg as I still have one myself...

I'm sure you won't be disappointed with your new shotty. How about a range report when you get to that? I think your about to be a Knoxx fanboy, too.
I agree with chris in va about the Mossberg and the Compstock. Also about the COPstock being the most fun to shoot. You haven't lived until you shoot a brick of slugs, one handed, and center of mass accurate, at 50 yards. No sore hand/wrist afterward. Makes you feel like your John Wayne.
As far as Mossberg goes, I actually like shooting mine better than the 870. I agree it's probably not as well made, however it will outlast me so...
I don't get the Mossy vs. Rem argument. They are different designs and both have their place. As a shooter, I actually like the Ithaca Model 37 the best. There's a dollop of a wallop! Too bad Knoxx doesn't make a recoil reducer for them.

Not that you need another review but:
I just got the Spec Ops stock a few weeks back. I primarily needed a shorter stock for my Mossberg 590 and was looking for an adjustable stock. I went with the Spec Ops for both the adjustability and the recoil reduction.
The adjustability is a great feature for the wife and me both. The recoil reduction is achieved by springs in both the pistol grip and butt stock and is very noticeable. I would say nearly 50% felt recoil reduction. There is still recoil but it seems to come more as a longer push instead of a sharp smack. No more teeth rattling with slugs or 00 buck. They are now pleasant to shoot. The "push" over the "smack" also seems to make for less muzzle jump and allow for a faster follow up shot.
There are a few downfalls with this stock as well. First is that it makes the slide release button on the 590 very hard to get to. I will be removing the stock soon and exploring a fix to this with my dremel tool. The other negative is sight alignment. It is not a natural feel (for me anyway) to align the sights. This feeling was quickly overcome with some practice and is no longer an issue. Just be aware that this type of stock makes you change your natural hold a bit.
All in all it gets a very good review and I love it.

The trick that worked for me was to remove the butt stock piece,
and push with the ramped edges of the teeth facing up to guide it home.
I found this pic on the knoxx website that shows just what to do,
but why the directions don't have this pic on them is anyone's guess...
One thing's for certain - it ain't coming back off.

I love mine
I shot 100 rounds of 2 3/4 clay Winchester 8 shot after I gave myself a green and purple bruised shoulder, and that shotgun on that load was not causing me pain. A half hour later I shot 3x 3 1/2in 00 buck rounds at some air borne clay and that did not hurt either. I am not recoil sensitive but I was hurting that day. I really like my Spec-Ops stock on my 870.

Do they make these that will fit a Mossberg 535 12ga?
I'd like to do something to "trick out" my shotgun a little bit, and what better than a stock, especially one that will do what this one says it will do.

These are the only listed models they make the Spec-ops for according to their website, but that's not to say that it won't fit - I would call them... You won't be disappointed -

I love mine. I got the Specops NRS, Recoil wasnt the real issue. I just needed that style of stock so I could colapse it and have it to fit in the shotgun rack in my Car. Im very pleased with it, all except the 60 day backorder to get it.
Just a sidenote, Blackhawk Products bought out Knoxx Industries, Im waiting to see how this merger works out. I've had very good service from Blackhawk in the past.

As Chris said, the recoil is there, just spread out. Instead of all the power in say a 25th of a second, it lasts a third of a second. This actually makes a huge difference in perceived/felt recoil. It also makes it easier to keep the shotgun on target after each shot.
I would gladly buy another one just as soon as I purchase another 870.

There is a definite difference between "ADs" and "ads" on a gun forum.
ADs refers to Accidental Discharges. The A and D are in caps and stuck together as being an indicator for an abbreviation for the phrase

Cumberland leader reverses stance that could help bring jobs
Posted January 15, 2015
Fayetteville, N.C. — Cumberland County's pursuit of a chicken processing plant that could bring 1,000 jobs to the area has new life after the county commissioner who cast a swing vote on the initiative last week changed his mind.
The Cumberland County Board of Commissioners voted 4-3 against a public hearing necessary to consider a $2.5 million incentive package for Sanderson Farms. The company was considering whether to build a $95 million plant in a county-owned industrial park in Cedar Creek, east of Interstate 95.
In addition to the jobs at the plant, the company would contract with about 80 chicken farms in a five-county area to supply the plant.
At-large Commissioner Charles Evans voted against the plan last Monday, saying he didn't have answers to outstanding questions about the incentives and because the package did not include a provision that allows convicted felons to apply for the jobs that the plant would bring.
Evans said Thursday that he changed his mind after hearing from his constituency.
"I did not have all the information. I did not have all the questions answered that I needed answered," Evans said. "I feel pretty comfortable now that answers are being produced."
Another vote on the public hearing is scheduled for Jan. 20.
Sanderson Farms, which has been courted by at least one location in Virginia, hasn't said publicly if it is still considering Cumberland County.
Evans said Thursday, however, that it appears the company is still open to doing so.
"And we want to leave the door open," he said.
Residents who live near the industrial park have opposed the plant because of their concerns about several issues, including smell and noise.
However, Commissioner Jimmy Keefe has said that it is difficult to pass up 1,000 jobs, most of which would have been filled by Cumberland County residents. The jobs would have paid almost $11 an hour to start.
Under the terms of the incentives plan, Sanderson Farms would create at least 975 jobs – 60 percent of which would go to Cumberland County residents – over three years and not contract with any poultry farms within a 10-mile radius of its facility or within a mile of the Cape Fear River.
In exchange, the county would provide the company a 50 percent grantback of county property taxes to be paid over a nine-year period.

Brazilian presidential candidates promise lack of change we can believe in
- By Sylvie SteinSylvie Stein is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
The two most prominent presidential hopefuls in the upcoming Brazilian elections have launched their campaigns. Now each is fighting tooth and nail to prove one thing: that he or she is the most cautious, the most predictable, the most moderate candidate of them all.
In the past, elections in Brazil have tipped in favor of candidates championing change — but that was when the tectonic shifts those politicians promised seemed the most expedient solution to faltering markets, raging social tensions, and the crippling effects of corruption, fascism, and military interference.
In many respects, current president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva — who enjoys overwhelming approval ratings, despite several corruption scandals — has reversed Brazil's bad fortunes: his pension systems and social programs have eradicated historic inequalities and kept the economy growing at a rate of 5.6 percent each year since 2003. Now that they are enjoying peace and prosperity relative to the tumult of past decades, Brazilian voters don't want change (except maybe a World Cup redux). They want Commitment to Continuity, not Audacity of Hope; security and certainty, not inspiration and innovation. And their politicians are happy to placate them.
Worker's Party candidate Dilma Rousseff is Lula's hand pick and the fondly proclaimed "Iron Lady" of South America. Her opponent? Brazilian Social Democratic Party candidate José Serra — an experienced former secretary of state with an obstinate support base. Both have capitalized on the public's demands for continuity, portraying themselves as the ultimate political nonentities in the media. Rio de Janeiro is plastered with posters of Rousseff, hand-in-hand with a grinning Lula. The imagery fuels speculations, to the satisfaction of some and the disdain of others, that she is her predecessor's political puppet. Meanwhile, though Serra criticizes aspects of Lula's government and does promise greater government efficiency, suffice it to say that many of his posters read "The same as Dilma but different" ("The same as McCain but different" bumper sticker, conversely, would probably not have been a winning slogan for Barack Obama). Neither candidate deviates significantly on any major issue, and both reflect increasingly centrist tendencies.
Keep an eye on these intriguing anti-change campaigns as they approach the October 3 elections in Brazil. It will be interesting to see — seemingly in lieu of any meaningful dissonance — the reason on which constituents ultimately hinge their votes.

Tom Onslow-Cole kept Team Aon on top of the pile by pacing the second Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship free practice session of the weekend at Brands Hatch.
Following on from Tom Chilton pacing the first session, Onslow-Cole posted the quickest time of the weekend to date with a best lap of 1min 32.430secs to outpace his Ford team-mate during the session.
Double Rockingham winner Matt Neal was third quickest for Honda while James Nash was again impressive with the fourth quickest time. Gordon Shedden and Paul O'Neill rounded out the top six in the quickest of the BTC-spec cars for Team sunshine.co.uk with Tech-Speed.
Having been forced into an engine change following the first session, Jason Plato was tenth quickest having spent much of the session going in and out of the pits, although there were a number of other drivers to hit issues during the final practice prior to qualifying.
Dave Pinkney suffered gearbox failure on the Cooper Straight which has left his team with work to do ahead of qualifying, while Mat Jackson suffered an engine sensor fault which forced him to park up on the side of the circuit.
Fellow BMW driver Andy Neate meanwhile went off into the gravel exiting the final corner, bringing out the red flag as his car was recovered.

A Greek debt crisis fueling concerns of a credit crunch throughout Europe. A fragile economic recovery on the home front. Traders bracing for a big market pull back after the run-up this past year.
Wall Street was already poised for a big letdown.
Apparently all it took to push it over the edge Thursday was a few trader errors.
The result: The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted nearly 1,000 points before recovering two-thirds of its losses in one of the most stunning half hours in stock market history.
When the dust settled, the Dow wound up closing at 10,520, down 348 points, or 3.2 percent. The S&P 500 dropped 37.75 points, or 3.24 percent, to 1,128.15, and the Nasdaq was down 82.65 points, or 3.44 percent, to 2,319.64.
As shell-shocked investors approach today's action, here's a closer look at the latest Wall Street frenzy.
What caused the plunge?
Markets have been down for days amid growing fear that Greece's debt crisis will spread into broader financial problems throughout Europe. Financiers in Germany and elsewhere in Europe are already facing huge losses. A widening credit crunch could put a damper on global recovery.
The Dow was already in negative territory again Thursday, down more than 300 points, before apparent trading glitches turned a bad day much worse.
What were the trader errors?
It's wasn't exactly clear late Thursday.
There were reports that what is known in the business as a "fat-finger trade" — when a trader accidently typed an order for billions instead of millions — drove the price of Proctor & Gamble stock from about $60 to under $40, before it recovered. The wild ride for 3M's stock price also appeared to be the result of trader error.
The drop in those brand name Dow stocks was enough to trigger "sell" orders across the market. The Dow fell 600 points in seven minutes to a low of 9,869, before rebounding sharply.
Another company, the consulting firm Accenture, saw its shares momentarily plummet from above $40 to pennies before rebounding to close at $41.09, off 2.6 percent for the day. Nasdaq said later that it would void trades in which a stock moved more than 60 percent from its price at 2:40 p.m.
Why wasn't an error that large caught immediately?
That's under investigation. Some traders said they were stunned to see the sharply falling numbers and speculated that computers took over when electronically triggered sell points were reached.
NYSE spokesman Raymond Pellecchia said the plunge wasn't caused by a problem with the exchange's trading systems. The Nasdaq Stock Market said it was reviewing its trades with other trading networks.
NYSE chief operating officer Larry Leibowitz said all the major stock exchanges were holding a conference call with the Securities and Exchange Commission to discuss what happened.
Was the sell-off a record?
When the Dow was down 998 points shortly before 3 p.m., a 9 percent plunge, it marked the biggest intra-day loss since the Black Monday market crash of 1987, when the Dow dropped almost 23 percent.
In terms of market close, the 348 point loss wasn't even close to a record. The biggest one-day sell-off on a point basis occurred Sept. 29, 2008, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 777 points.
Are we seeing a market correction?
Time will tell, but this may be the start of a correction. The fluke of Thursday's freefall aside, the Dow still has lost 631 points, or 5.7 percent, in three days.
The market hasn't had a correction — defined as a selloff of 10 percent — for at least 14 months. Many market watchers have been predicting a sharp market pull-back, if not a correction, for months.
Which industry was hit the hardest?
The financial sector took the brunt of the damage, ending down 4.2 percent, its worst loss since Feb. 4.
Bank of America lost 7 percent and Citigroup 3.4 percent on heavy trading volume. Among regional banks, Fifth Third Bancorp, KeyCorp and Marshall & Ilsley all fell almost 7 percent.
What's happening in global markets so far today?
Asian stock markets plunged in opening trades today. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 stock average dropped 396.48 points, or 3.7 percent, to 10,299.21. South Korea's Kospi dropped 2.9 percent to 1,635.25, while Australia's benchmark lost 2.1 percent.
What do we watch for next?
Greece isn't alone in battling huge debt. Investors worry that the panic will envelop Portugal and, even more worrisome, Spain, one of the larger economies in Europe. There is concern that the proposed $146 billion bailout of Greece will hamper Europe's ability to help those other countries if they falter.
Closer to home: National unemployment figures are out today. They are expected to show the unemployment rate held steady at 9.7 percent. Recent job reports indicated employers are hiring more and laying off fewer, but not enough to offset a growing labor pool. A disappointing report could jar the markets even more.

Local food bank gets help from Dot Foods
Tue, 27 May 2014 23:28:59 GMT —
Dot Foods is one of the largest food redistributers in the country. Not only does it supply to stores but to food pantries as well.
"It means a tremendous amount, when it comes to hunger and fighting hunger the more resources you have, it is very simple the more resources you have the more people you can feed," Caren Laughlin, Marketing and Public Relations Director for Riverbend Food Bank, said.
Dot Foods presented a check for $50,000 to Riverbend Food Bank. That donation will fund 150,000 meals for people in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois.
About 300 agencies rely on the Riverbend Food Bank.
Laughlin says the further away from the Quad Cities were the food bank is located, the more help agencies and people need.
Laughlin also says there are several groups that concens her the most, the elderly and toddlers.
"Lots of elderly, elderly is one of the populations I worry about the most we do, because they always think somebody else needs the food more, they are very reluctant to seek assistance but they are in great need," Laughlin said.
She also says 40 percent of the food her food bank distributes ends on children's plates.
Laughlin says it is not uncommon for donated food to be expired.
The donation will allow them to buy nutritious food that people can actually use.
The chairman of Dot Foods says it just makes sense for the company to get behind the mission of ending hunger in the community.
"Fact of the matter is without food, people can't learn, can't grow, young children can't form strong healthy bodies, nothing can really happen," Pat Tracy, Chaiman of Dot Foods, said.

Johannesburg - Five Eldorado Park children are now without a mother after a woman's body was found on the grounds of a local school, adjacent to a Catholic church.
Christell Pienaar's bruised, battered and half-undressed corpse was discovered on Wednesday in the long grass of the unkempt cricket field of Silver Oaks Secondary School.
A pedestrian walking in the small passage between the school and the church noticed the body at about 8am on Wednesday.
Police were summoned immediately, blocking off the passage, where a gap in the fence had given Pienaar's killers – and possibly her rapists – access to the school grounds.
The large majority of her family, who lived with 30-year-old Pienaar less than a kilometre away from the school, were gathered at the tape cordoning off the scene, some in tears, others staring forlornly at the ground.
The air was filled with the smell of trash strewn throughout the tight passage, which residents have said remained a dangerous spot for pedestrians, as it was not visible to the nearby homes.
Gauteng Social Development Department head Shoki Tshabalala arrived on the scene shortly afterwards, bringing the family onto the crime scene after police had finished their investigation.
Police spokesman Warrant Officer Kay Makhubela said it appeared that Pienaar had been stabbed in the chest and throat.
Makhubela said forensics would have to determine whether Pienaar had been raped. Her pants had been pulled down.
Residents gathered at the scene said the violence in the area had to come to an end, as this was just one in a string of crimes against women in recent months.
Five men, one of whom is believed to be Pienaar's close friend, were taken in for questioning on Wednesday morning.
"People do these things and think they won't be seen, but at the end of the day you will be found," said Makhubela.
Sources close to the investigation said Pienaar was last seen late on Tuesday night getting into a car with a male friend.
That five men were taken in for questioning will not bring much solace to Pienaar's family.
Her biological father, Norman de Bruyn, said he would be looking after his daughter's five young children, but he and his wife were unemployed.
He said his daughter was a person who always laughed, even when times were at their toughest.
Tshabalala told The Star her department would ensure the grandchildren were clothed and fed, and that psychological counselling was provided to all of Pienaar's family.
She has urged the community to use the newly launched bus system that allows young people and other residents who need counselling to be transported to nearby community centres.
"All of us must find ways to pull together to protect our kids," said Tshabalala. "We condemn this act and encourage our police to always act as swiftly as they did."
Tshabalala added that the reason she had rushed to the scene was because of the gender violence that plagues the area.
Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane condemned what she called Pienaar's "barbaric murder and rape".
Christell Pienaar's murder is just one of a string of gruesome deaths of young women in the Eldorado Park area.
* December 2012: Michaela Manneson was murdered by her brother-in-law, Jonathan Maharla. George Barquala held a cloth doused in thinners over her nose. Maharla then strangled the teenager while Barquala held a plastic bag over her head. They took her body to the Nancefield industrial area in Eldorado Park, where they stacked tyres on top of her and set them alight.
* April 2013: In the neighbouring suburb of Klipspruit West, Tracey-Lee Martins was raped and strangled as she lay in her bed by two men who knew her.
* November 2013: In what appeared to be a revenge killing for the murder of Michaela Manneson, Jonathan Maharla's sister Sandy, 18, was found in the veld in Eldorado Park.
* January 2014: A woman was found wrapped in a blanket and plastic at Nancefield Industries in Eldorado Park.

This was a pretty astounding issue. Astounding. When this issue was first announced I was annoyed at the fact that we would be deviating from the central story yet again, but that turned out to not be the case. Yes, we see the possible future of what would happen if Damian became Batman, but it's not as out of left field as issues #2 and #0 were. Damian's 666 Batman is an important part of the Batman Incorporated story that must be told before we can move forward with the main plot. So fear not, the Batman Inc. epic didn't come to a screeching halt this month. Instead, it delivered one of its most exciting episodes yet.
I only have two negative things to say about the book and one of those is just as much a good thing as it is bad. 1) If you haven't read all of Grant Morrison's run on Batman, Batman & Robin, and Batman Incorporated Vol. 1 then you will not enjoy this comic to the fullest. In fact, you also need to have a strong familiarity with several classic Batman stories as well. Besides heavily referencing the events of Batman #666, Batman #700, The Return of Bruce Wayne, and Batman R.I.P. we also get some really cool but subtle nods to Batman Year One and The Killing Joke. The Killing Joke reference, with it's identical framing and coloring was easily my favorite. If you aren't familiar with the Black Glove of Pre-New 52 Batman then you're going to look at some key scenes of this comic with some confusion over "Who's that guy? When did that happen?" However, those who are well familiar with Morrison's run will be tickled pink. 2) There is one panel that I didn't like. Burnham is one of my favorite artists but the page one close-up of Damian's face is strange looking. All of his features are too concentrated in the center of a rather large head and I couldn't help but be reminded of the Little Face Mitt meme. That said, the rest of the artwork in this book is absolutely phenomenal. I've noticed that Burnham's style has gotten a bit scratchier lately, a bit more less clean and that looks brilliant with the 666 timeline. There are some shots here that are really breathtaking. From The Killing Joke reference, to massive explosions, and zombie hordes rushing the asylum, this is a visually stunning and highly energetic work that you'll want to look at again and again.
I wasn't that big of a fan of Batman #666 but I had so much fun reading this comic that I might have to go back and give that issue another chance. The world Damian forges as Batman, if he were to become Batman, is literally hell on Earth. It's so damn exciting that you'll fly through these pages and want to re-read them again. I've already read through it twice to keep an eye out for anything I might have missed before (like the Dark Knight Returns mutant clawing over the crowd behind Flamingo). Is it a future I would want for the Batman mythology? Absolutely not SHOW SPOILER ▼. But seeing just how bad things can get if Damian were to become the Dark Knight is immensely thrilling to see. I also don't think I would want more because I appreciate the lack of information. I like that we get to fill in a lot of the blanks ourselves and most of the time that's usually for the best because you can think up the best possible answers for how things got so bad that suit you. As for the events that take place in the true New 52 timeline, well let's just say issue #6 can't get here fast enough. SHOW SPOILER ▼
It's easy to say that it's a "What if" story and for the bulk of the comic nothing will really matter, but that's a very pessimistic way to approach it. If you let go and have fun with the chaos that occurs in a Gotham that is truly lost without the real Batman, Bruce Wayne, then I think you're going to absolutely love this one.

Lewi confirms Dortmund exit plans
Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski has confirmed he is set to sign a contract at Bayern Munich in January.
Lewandowski, 25, spoke to the press following Borussia Dortmund's 2-0 extra-time win over TSV 1860 Munich, after it was reported earlier in the day that he will ink a four-year deal at the Allianz Arena on January 2, 2014.
He told Sky: "Right now, I can't say anything. Normally, I can only reveal it officially in January. At this moment, it is still too early and we'll have to wait a bit. But I think, I can leave in January."
The Poland international, who has 55 caps to his name, is unlikely to leave Dortmund during the winter transfer window, but could instead announce his free transfer to Bayern in early January.
Reporters in the mixed zone at the Allianz Arena asked whether he will be able to confirm the Bayern switch in January. "Yes, because I can officially sign the new contract in January," he replied.
Lewandowski, whose contract at Dortmund expires next summer, has been the subject of a transfer saga between Dortmund and Bayern throughout this year. The Poland international hoped to make the switch to the Treble holders in the summer.
Dortmund rejected the transfer and instead, after a near fall-out, granted Lewandowski, who has scored 58 goals in 104 Bundesliga games since joining Dortmund from Lech Poznan in 2010, a hefty pay rise in August, despite his impending exit.

Vlastní zájem, trh a morálka - pohled do historie
[Self-interest, Market and Morality - Look into History]
Phenomena of self-interest, market and morality have been undoubtedly ones of the most discussed problems among economists, philosophers, sociologists and others during the last two centuries. The author therefore offers a brief historical survey, in which he presents the most influential ideas pronounced by distinguished thinkers of the past and present time. He shows that two trends of economic thinking have been established; one that supports and another that rejects the proposition: "morality is the constituent part of behaviour of economic agents" and accentuates great practical significance of the solution of this problem.

Ethics reform hearing lets residents voice their suggestions
Wed, 19 Dec 2012 23:17:45 GMT —
Columbia (WACH)--South Carolinians got a chance to voice their frustration and suggestions on how to improve ethics at the State house.
The state Senate Committee on Ethics Reform held a public hearing Wednesday. Proposed changes that citizens said included stopping leadership pacts within the House and Senate, mandatory personal income disclosure for all lawmakers, and a ban on public officials from becoming lobbyists or consultants four years after their service ends. That is not all.
"Our current laws have substantial gaps that can easily be used to circumvent ethics compliance," said Lynn Teague with the South Carolina League of Women Voters. "Everyone agrees that we need to correct the confusion that led to the removal of 200 candidates from the primary election ballots this year. We support efforts to do so by delegating the entire process to state and county elections offices; and by ensuring that they have the resources."
In addition to the ballot issue, the recent controversy surrounding former Lt. Governor Ken Ard also brought up the debate. Richland County Senator Joel Lourie said this is the most comprehensive ethics reform debate at the state house since Operation Lost Trust about 20 years ago.
"There have been reports that South Carolina has some of the weakest ethics laws and disclosure laws. And that perhaps has created the atmosphere for more political corruption," Lourie said. "And our committee intends to deal with that."
Lourie said he was impressed with many of the recommendations; and hopes to implement them.
"The whole concept of how independent expenditure campaigns are run completely in the dark. Nobody knows where money is coming from. or how it is being spent. We can still pass laws that will allow further disclosure of those committees. So that people will know who is attempting to influence the outcome of an election."
Lourie said they will take these ideas and introduce several bills when the general assembly meets in January. He expects lots of discussions and decisions during the first three months.

I seem to respond more to postings by others than starting one of my own, but I've got a question regarding parts that shipped with my system.
I recently obtained a great little X61 which works wonderfully, no problems at all, in fact it's exceeded my expectations in all respects - particularly the display itself. This is where my question leads. Is there a way to find out what make the screen is on this little piece of wonder ... short of taking the thing apart to see what part number it is?
- I've checked the online method using Lenovo's online tool ("parts that shipped with the system" ). Based on my systems type (7675) and serial number, the online listing shows no indication of a part number regarding the monitor.
- I downloaded PCWizard 2008 - it only lists the monitor as "LEN4000"
- also tried Everest, but it also lists the monitor as "LEN4000". ...
Some people have asked me what make the panel is, because side-by-side comparisons with T61's, this thing outshines all others in terms of view angles, contrast, brightness and color rendering... But I can't figure out what make this "LEN4000" panel is.
Any thoughts what LEN4000 is, and any other ideas on getting the part number for the panel shipped in this little beauty?

Saint Louis University requires undergraduate students to live in residence halls or apartments on campus for their first four semesters.
Many juniors, seniors and graduate students also choose to live at SLU and for good reason — it gives you a chance to develop lifelong friendships with students from across the country and around the globe. All housing contracts and payments are paperless and can be completed online through mySLU.
Read the 2017-18 Housing Contract
If you are a first-time, first-year student at SLU, you are guaranteed housing, but it will not be assigned until your enrollment deposit is paid and your housing contract is on file.
The priority deadline for new student housing at SLU is May 1.
Your enrollment deposit confirms your enrollment at Saint Louis University. Once it has been processed, you will have access to the housing contract.
Housing for new students is assigned based on the date you submit your contract, so the sooner you complete it, the better.
Find the 2016-2017 New Freshman Contract in the Student Housing section under the "Tools" tab of mySLU. Be ready to supply your personal information, including emergency contacts. You'll also enter your housing and roommate preferences and choose a meal plan.
With the exception of learning community preferences, which cannot be changed after May 1, you can edit your housing contract — including meal plan, building or roommate options — in the Student Housing portal through June 30.
Roommate requests are made by entering your requested roommate's banner ID number on your housing contract. They must enter your banner ID on their housing contract as well to confirm the request.
If you don't already have a roommate in mind, use RoomSync, our roommate matching software, between May 15 and June 30. You will receive an email from the housing office with your access code and instructions for setting up your profile.
You will receive your housing assignment by July 15 at your SLU email address. It will also be mailed to the permanent address you supply on your housing contract.
Questions or concerns? Contact the Department of Housing and Residence Life at 314-977-2811 or email@example.com.
Returning students must complete a housing contract and deposit for the following year by March 1. Specialty housing contracts, including those for housing student staff and requests made for reasons of accessibility, learning communities, Greek housing or student athletes, are due by Feb. 15
Rising juniors, seniors and graduate students can secure their campus housing for the next year as early as Nov. 1 to earn a $200 credit on their student account and a chance to win free housing.
Rising juniors and seniors who have completed their residency requirement and choose to continue living on campus will also receive a $2,000 housing scholarship for the 2017-2018 academic year. Just submit your $250 deposit and a housing contract through mySLU.
If you are linked to a roommate or group of roommates, one person can select space for everyone through mySLU, or your entire group can come to the housing office to complete housing contracts.
Your $250 housing advance payment confirms your intent to live on campus. Once it has been processed, you will have access to the housing contract in mySLU.
Find the appropriate contract in the Student Housing section under the "Tools" tab. The contract, including meal plan, building preferences or roommates, can be edited in the Student Housing portal through March 1. Contracts cannot be canceled after May 1.
Room selection begins in March. Watch your slu.edu email for information about your time slot and how to participate.
Students who do not choose a space through the room selection process by April 15 will be assigned by our staff.
Failure to complete necessary documents and procedures in a timely manner may mean you don't get the assignment you want and could have financial consequences. If you don't submit a housing contract by the deadline and are not required to live on campus, housing may not be available to you.
If you live with your parents or guardians within a 50-mile radius of campus, are over the age of 21, are married or have children, and have not yet signed a housing contract for the year, you may be eligible for an exemption to the housing requirement.
Exemptions must be requested by June 1 for new students and May 1 for current students, and are not guaranteed. You will receive an official decision in writing from the housing office.

Pitman Arm
- Raise vehicle on hoist.
- Remove nut from Pitman arm ball stud.
- Remove Pitman arm or relay rod from ball stud by tapping on side of rod or arm (in which the stud mounts) with a hammer while using a heavy hammer or similar tool as a backing. Pull on linkage to remove from stud.
- Remove Pitman arm nut from Pitman shaft or clamp bolt from Pitman arm, and mark relation of arm position to shaft.
- Remove Pitman arm, using Tool J-6632 or J-5504.
- Install Pitman arm on Pitman shaft, lining up the marks made upon removal.
If a clamp type Pitman arm is used, spread the Pitman arm just enough, with a wedge, to slip arm onto Pitman shaft. Do not spread Pitman arm more than required to slip over Pitman shaft with hand pressure. Do not hammer or damage to steering gear may result. Be sure to install the hardened steel washer before installing the nut.
- Make sure that threads on ball studs and in ball stud nuts are clean and smooth. If threads are not clean and smooth, ball studs may turn in sockets when attempting to tighten nut. Check condition of ball stud seals; replace if necessary.
- Install Pitman shaft nut or Pitman arm clamp bolt and torque to specifications.
- Position ball stud onto Pitman arm or relay rod. Use a 5 / 8 in. x 18 free spinning nut to seat the tapers.
- Lubricate ball studs.
- Lower the vehicle to the floor.
See Figures 1 and 2
Use of the proper diagnosis and checking procedure is essential to prevent needless replacement of good idler arms.
- Raise the vehicle in such a manner as to allow the front wheels to rotate freely and the steering mechanism freedom to turn. Position the wheels in a straight ahead position.
- Using a spring scale located as near the relay rod end of the idler arm as possible, exert a 25 lb. force upward and then downward while noticing the total distance the end of the arm moves. This distance should not exceed plus or minus 1 / 16 in. for a total acceptable movement of 1 / 8 in. It is necessary to ensure that the correct load is applied to the arm since it will move more when higher loads are applied. It is also necessary that a scale or ruler be rested against the frame and used to determine the amount of movement since observers tend to over-estimate the actual movement when a scale is not used. The idler arm should always be replaced if it fails this test.
Jerking the right front wheel and tire assembly back and forth, thus causing an up and down movement in the idler arm is not an acceptable method of checking since there is no control on the amount of force being applied.
Caution should be used in assuming shimmy complaints are caused by loose idler arms. Before suspecting suspension or steering components, technicians should eliminate shimmy excitation factors, such as dynamic imbalance, run-out or force variation of wheel and tire assemblies and road surface irregularities.
- Raise vehicle on a hoist.
- Remove the nut from ball stud at the relay rod. Remove the ball stud from the relay rod by tapping on the relay rod boss with a hammer, while using a heavy hammer as a backing.
- Remove the idler arm to frame bolt and remove the idler arm assembly.
- Position the idler arm on the frame and install the mounting bolts (special plain washers under bolt heads); torque.
- Make sure that the threads on the ball stud and in the ball stud nut are clean and smooth. If threads are not clean and smooth, ball stud may turn in the socket when attempting to tighten nut. Check condition of ball stud seal; replace if necessary.
- Install the idler arm ball stud in the relay rod, making certain the seal is positioned properly. Use a 5 / 8 in. x 18 free-spinning nut to seat the tapers.
- Lower the vehicle to the floor.
- Raise and support the vehicle with jackstands.
- Remove the inner ends of the tie rods from the center link.
- Remove the nuts from the Pitman and idler arm ball studs at the center link.
- Remove the center link from the Pitman and idler arms by tapping on the center link ball stud bosses with a hammer, while using a heavy hammer as backing.
- Remove the center link from the vehicle.
- Make sure that threads on the ball studs and in the ball stud nuts are clean and smooth. If the threads are not clean and smooth, ball studs may turn in sockets when attempting to tighten nut. Check condition of ball stud seals; replace if necessary.
- Install the center link to the idler arm and Pitman arm ball studs, making certain the seals are in place. Use a free-spinning nut to seat the tapers.
- Install the tie rods to the center link. Lubricate the tie rod ends.
- Lower the vehicle to the floor.
- Adjust toe-in and align steering wheel as described previously.
- Loosen the tie rod adjuster sleeve clamp nuts.
- Remove the tie rod end stud cotter pin and nut.
- You can use a tie rod removal tool to loosen the stud, or you can loosen it by tapping on the steering arm with a hammer while using a heavy hammer as a backup.
- Remove the inner stud in the same way.
- Unscrew the tie rod end from the threaded sleeve. The threads may be left or right hand threads. Count the number of turns required to remove it.
- To install, grease the threads and turn the new tie rod end in as many turns as were needed to remove it. This will give approximately correct toe-in. Tighten the clamp bolts.
- Tighten the stud nuts to 45 ft. lbs. (61 Nm) and install new cotter pins. You may tighten the nut to align the cotter pin, but don't loosen it.
- Adjust the toe-in.


text: I am planning on going through lipo in the next two months. After an amazing consultation with a local surgeon i haven't been able to get it off my mind. My doctor suggested for me to have my love handles, outer thigh, upper and lower stomach, and the buttocks treated. Being so young and i was really worried about the cost ( his price was 8500 including med and what not). I was thinking about only doing my love handles, outer thighs, and lower stomach done to cut the cost for now. I would like anybodys opinion really, whether or not to do multiple sessions or what areas i should be focusing on. Thanks for the time of reading and hopefully commenting!

Kidney Diseases
Puffy Legs
Thanks for your time. I have noticed on some days that my lower legs have mild pitting edema. My recent blood tests were all normal. I am female and age 59. I have no trouble with pain while I`m exercising, but my legs can ache at times. Could you tell me if this is age related? I do spend a few hours a day sitting at the computer.
Edema is a fairly common problem that can occur with a variety of conditions, such as venous insufficiency -- poor return of blood upwards (against gravity) in the legs . This can in turn be related to defective vein valves (such as are seen with varicose veins) or to obesity. Edema can also be seen with the use certain medications (such as the blood pressure med Norvasc) or with hormonal changes (such as before menstrual periods). There are diseases that cause edema, such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disease, but if you feel healthy and have had normal blood and urine tests, these are not likely. However, if you have not had a urine test for protein, that would be worth doing just to rule out kidney problems (since blood tests cannot completely exclude certain types of kidney disease).
Otherwise, just be aware that the edema is likely to be worse if you're on your feet or sitting with your legs down, or if you eat a high-salt diet. The edema may be less bothersome if you can keep your legs elevated (for instance, while reading or watching TV), and you can also wear support stockings for comfort if you wish.

Micro Venture Innovation Fund Mooted in Kerala
By Express News Service | Published: 04th December 2013 08:43 AM |
Last Updated: 04th December 2013 08:43 AM | A+A A- |
Kerala is handicapped by scarcity of land as well as labour. But will it also emerge as a boon for the state? According to Anil K Gupta, Member, National Innovation Council, time is ripe for the state to promote innovations and ideas in all fields. ''It is a fortuitous, historical movement taking place in Kerala now ,while going in for innovations,'' he felt and called upon state policy makers to launch a Micro Venture Innovation Fund, wherein an entrepreneur can lead an innovation based venture with ease.
Inaugurating a workshop on 'Innovation led and Technology -Intensive Entrepreneurship : The Way Ahead for Kerala' held under the aegis of Kerala Financial Corporation, Anil K Gupta said that an entrepreneur should be able to take forward an innovation comfortably. ''The capital needed for a new enterprise should be facilitated through venture funding by just taking the entrepreneur's single signature, with no guarantors or collaterals,'' he suggested. ''The market and society should provide incentives for innovations to meet its needs,''he reminded.
He emphasised the need for creating a live database, mapping youngsters' innovative ideas and 24 x 7 common working facilities including stay in incubation centres. He was also for floating enterprises in the state . ''When land is so scarce here, why not think of companies functioning in houseboats without a permanent address, floating whereever it wanted in Kerala'a +l backwaters,''he asked.
He was all praise for the Kerala Government for promoting entrepreneurship. ''No other state has earmarked 1 per cent of its budget for the sole purpose,''he said. The workshop was organised as part of the diamond jubilee celebrations of KFC. The event became notable for thorough deliberations on innovations and technologies that drives modern-day entrepreneurs, its issues and an understanding on the world of start-ups. P H Kurien, Principal Secretary, IT & Industries, who delivered the keynote address, said that it is glad to note that Kerala is coming out of an era where for the past 30-40 years entrepreneurs were always looked upon as those exploiting labourers. ''The next ten years is going to make a real change for the state. People's thinking and acting have changed. Even the pattern of agricultural crops cultivated in the state is most likely to change,'' he said, referring to the coming up of orchard plantations replacing crops like rubber in he state.
P Joy Oommen, Chairman & MD, KFC, welcomed the delegates. Jose Cyriac, Chairman, Kerala State Innovation Council, delivered the presidential address. The workshop was attended by 450 professional college students, prospective entrepreneurs and other experts.

D-day arrives for Fury
Enough is enough, according to long suffering North Queensland Fury boss Rabieh Krayem.
As rumours swirl around the A-League franchise, Krayem wants the Fury's future decided "one way or another" when he meets with Football Federation Australia CEO Ben Buckley in Townsville on Tuesday.
Buckley will fly to north Queensland with A-League boss Lyall Gorman for a meeting that will reportedly kill off the Fury.
Sick of hearing speculation regarding their future, Krayem wants a final verdict from Buckley.
"The impact on families of the players, the staff, supporters and the football community - now it is getting to the stage where they have had enough," Krayem told AAP.
"People are starting to get angry about it.
"That's why we are glad there is a meeting tomorrow and we can get some clarity.
"Because if it continued to go on any longer people would become despondent with the sport overall and that is not what we are trying to achieve in the football community in north Queensland."
The Fury - solely owned by the FFA - had been told by Buckley to secure half of the club's predicted $3 million shortfall for the 2011-12 season to ensure their future.
North Queensland have reportedly raised more than that - about $1.6 million - and have been poised to announce a $500,000-a-year sponsorship this week.
Yet Krayem remained frustrated by the doom and gloom in the Sydney media in the lead-up to Tuesday's meeting.
"There's not been strong positives coming from down south," he said.
"That's been the frustrating thing for a lot of people up here.
"There seems to be more innuendo and rumours from southern media and people about what is going to happen with the Fury.
"But hopefully tomorrow we can put all that to bed."
Krayem will continue to work hard to secure Fury's future despite the looming meeting, even organising talks with potential sponsors on Monday night.
"We will go into the meeting with a very optimistic view and find out how we can shore up the Fury's future," he said.
"And if the decision is the other way, well we will still hold our heads high and move on.
"One thing we have done as an advisory board is meet all our obligations that the FFA have set us.
"Until someone tells us we are not in the competition we will act like we are and continue to drive for sponsorships."

Igbpl is part of a positive feedback loop in stem cell factor-dependent, selective mRNA translation initiation inhibiting erythroid differentiation
Stem cell factor (SCF)-induced activation of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) is required for transient amplification of the erythroblast compartment. PI3K stimulates the activation of mTOR (target of rapamycin) and subsequent release of the cap-binding translation initiation factor 4E (elF4E) from the 4E-binding protein 4EBP, which controls the recruitment of structured mRNAs to polysomes. Enhanced expression of elF4E renders proliferation of erythroblasts independent of PI3K. To investigate which mRNAs are selectively recruited to polysomes, we compared SCF-dependent gene expression between total and polysome-bound mRNA. This identified 111 genes primarily subject to translational regulation. For 8 of 9 genes studied in more detail, the SCF-induced polysome recruitment of transcripts exceeded 5-fold regulation and was PI3K-dependent and elF4E-sensitive, whereas total mRNA was not affected by signal transduction. One of the targets, Immunoglobulin binding protein 1 (Igbpl), is a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (Pp2a) sustaining mTOR signaling. Constitutive expression of Igbpl impaired erythroid differentiation, maintained 4EBP and p70S6k phosphorylation, and enhanced polysome recruitment of multiple elF4E-sensitive mRNAs. Thus, PI3K-dependent polysome recruitment of Igbpl acts as a positive feedback mechanism on translation initiation underscoring the important regulatory role of selective mRNA recruitment to polysomes in the balance between proliferation and maturation of erythroblasts.

Realizing Who I Really Was.It was the beginning of eighth grade. I had already formed my group of friends in the year before but there was always room for more.
A girl whom I had always seen around in school but never really spoken to before had become friends with one of my closest friends. So naturally, her and I were going to become friends also. We casually spoke when we all hung out as a group but as time progressed, we both realized we had soo much in common and started speaking more often.
Now mind you this is when MySpace and AIM were popular means of online communication.
Anyways, we spoke online all the time and texted eachother as well. We had so much in common that we considered eachother to be like sisters. We did everything together.
When we started hanging out, just the two of us it was so much fun. We did what any normal 13 year old girls would do.
One of those days that we were hanging out, we just sat outside on my patio and she started poking my sides. She had a thing for poking people on the side of their stomach as to make them flinch. I have no idea what came over my in that moment, but I had the strongest urge to just hold her hand. I refrained myself from doing it but it was almost an unbearable urge.
I noticed myself always getting nervous when I was around her, especially when it was just us two alone. I knew something was up.
I came to the quick realization that I had a crush on her but was scared out of my mind to speak of it. This was my first major crush, and with a girl! It was nerve wrecking and confusing. I just needed to tell her so one day after school I told her I needed to speak with her. We spoke of it through the Internet seeing as how it was easier than face to face.
And so I told her. I said "I think I am bisexual.. And I have a crush on someone". She was eager to know who and before I knew it, she asked if it was her that I had a crush on.
I admitted I did, and to my surprise she felt the same way towards me.
We ended up dating for several months. The relationship ended for good reasons and needed to be done but I will never forget the first girlfriend I ever had.
Five years later (now 18 years old) and here I am, more confident than ever about my sexuality. Except now I know for sure that my interest is only in women.
An EP User 1 Response 1 Feb 2, 2013
That sounds like a very good first girlfriend, and it's good you two ended in good terms. My crush has a thing for poking the sides of my stomach also, but only me. Good luck with your next girlfriends and with your love life :)

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Stow, OH, United States, 2007/02/07 - Persico has formed an agreement with Lakeland Mold Company, Brainerd, MN who will be providing sales support and customer service of the Leonardo moulds and KOOPS, Inc., Holland, MI to provide service after sales and technical support.
In the spirit of Christopher Colombo disembarking for the new world, 2007 marks Persico S.p.A.s launch of their automated rotational molding equipment (Leonardo) to the American market through two U.S. based strategic partners. Persico has formed an agreement with Lakeland Mold Company, Brainerd, MN who will be providing sales support and customer service of the Leonardo moulds and KOOPS, Inc., Holland, MI to provide service after sales and technical support of the equipment. KOOPS, Inc. has worked with the Persico Automotive Division for many years providing production, installation and support of presses and compression moulding lines. Design and production of both the molds and equipment will remain in Italy while the U.S. strategic partners will provide sales support, programming and service.
Persico has enjoyed an excellent long-term relationship with both Koops and Lakeland. stated Claudia Persico, Director of the Rotational Division. It was important that our U.S. partners possess the same values and commitment to customer support as we do at Persico. We are selling a turnkey solution from initial design to the final molded part which requires excellent communication of information and technical support throughout the entire process.
Persico (persico.com) is the first manufacturer to offer a standard, fully automated rotational moulding machine, the Leonardo. Leonardo is now used by rotomolders across Europe and also Australia to manufacture a variety of products including water tanks, fire extinguisher cabinets, fenders and kayaks, toys, pallets, roofs and other rotational products. Leonardo is designed for flexibility in molding a variety of products with a simple interchange of molds/spiders.
The success of Leonardo in Europe and Australia is due to the many benefits that the molders have experienced from automation.
Here below the main advantages:
1. No operator
2. Highest product quality
3. Energy consumption reduction
4. Possibility to mold new materials (other than PE)
5. Competitive investment compared to traditional rotational machines
6. Employee health and safety issues.
1. By replacing the operator required in traditional molding machines with the latest automation technologies, the labor related costs are eliminated including wages, benefits, workers compensation, law suits, training, employee turnover and product loss due to employee error. Leonardo is capable of running 24 hours per day, seven days a week without any of the human relation issues that can arise from absenteeism to injuries. In Europe, automation has had a huge impact on improving health and safety of employees in rotomolding facilities.
2. Product quality and consistency is no longer dependant on the operator. The machine directly controls the curing and heating cycles based on the internal temperature. The air inside is continuously monitored providing consistency from the first to the last part. This precise control allows for the molding of advanced materials that are not possible with traditional equipment. Uniform heating and cooling has resulted in material savings, lower part weights, shorter cycles, uniform shrinkage and reduced part deformation. Part consistency is no longer affected by the changes in ambient temperature. Each part is perfectly cured and cooling cycles are optimized to be the shortest possible while maintaining the products dimensional integrity. In addition, Persico has also developed a patented venting mechanism that eliminates blow holes at the parting line.
3. Leonardo is the most efficient process available today providing higher output per mold and reduced energy consumption. In a traditional oven, only 10% of the hot air influences the mold and only 2% the raw material in the mold. Leonardo does not require the floor space of a traditional machine since heating, cooling, loading and unloading all take place in the same area. Start-up of a Leonardo machine is very fast.
4. The Leonardo machine can mold materials previously abandoned by traditional rotational molding. By providing a clean and insulated working area, it is possible to mould polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, nylon, ABS, SAN, elastomeric materials and so on.
Leonardo is superior to traditional machines providing the ability to mold 2 or more layers of material without influence on the molding process.
5. Each machine is custom engineered to meet the requirements of the customer, the pieces to be molded and the particular material therefore pricing fluctuates based on features. Each product that has been converted from traditional to automated molding has experienced material, labor, scrap product and energy cost savings sufficient to provide a quick return on investment.
6. The greatest long-term benefit of Leonardo is the improved health and safety of employees who work in rotomolding facilities. With Leonardo, processing takes place in a safe, clean, quiet and cool environment. As the U.S. governing bodies look closer at indoor air quality in manufacturing facilities, health concerns due to emanations from coatings, exhaust fumes and materials particularly when running cross-linked resins are reduced by not having an employee in direct contact with the machine. The potential for injuries from molds, cranes and repetitive or strenuous movement are also eliminated. Statistics from a NASA report shows that when in-plant temperatures rise over 85۫ F, people generated output drops by 18% and errors increase by 40%, errors that can increase the chance for injuries due to carelessness.
Leonardo is changing the future of rotational molding. With domestic sales, service and support of Leonardo, Persico is poised to expand into the American market.
