A Riverlands worker screamed when the tip of his finger was amputated in a conveyor belt, the New Plymouth District Court heard yesterday.
Erick Jimmy later had the finger removed down to the first joint after it became infected.
Riverlands Eltham Ltd denies a charge, brought by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, of failing to take all practicable steps on December 7, 2011 to ensure Mr Jimmy was not exposed to hazards arising out of the blood collection chain conveyor.
The meat works argues that Mr Jimmy was distracted through chatting to another worker, was well aware of the hazard posed by the conveyor belt and should have been looking out for himself.
Mr Jimmy, a Papua New Guinean, told the court yesterday that it was a regular practice for him and others to put their hands on the conveyor belt.
The blood collector and a workmate who was close by when the accident happened, halal slaughterer Nazri Halim, of Malaysia, both told the court that the company had put them through an induction process when they started but they had never been told to keep away from the belt.
Mr Jimmy said on the day of his accident he was chatting with Mr Halim and put both hands on the conveyor belt at the same time the belt started up.
"I pulled the left hand off but the right hand got stuck. I pulled it away," he said.
There was no warning given that the belt would start moving nor were there any guards on the belt.
Mr Jimmy's supervisor at the time of the accident, Edward Douglas Prime, agreed with the ministry's prosecutor Saar Cohen-Ronen that he had never received safety warnings from Riverlands nor been told of the hazards posed by the conveyor belt.
However he believed it was common sense that it was dangerous.
About six to seven months later the company had installed guards over much of the belt, an overhead alarm now sounded prior to it moving and an emergency wire had been installed along the side of the belt.
More recently another worker got his foot stuck in the conveyor but was able to pull his foot out of his gumboot, Mr Prime said.
Mr Prime asked that a protective bar be put across "and that was done".
To Riverlands' lawyer, Alistair Derroch of Wellington, Mr Prime agreed the floor was busy and noisy with many hazards.
"You do have to be careful of yourself where you stand or what you touch," Mr Derroch said.
Mr Prime agreed.
"You told Jimmy of the dangers of the chain and that he needed to look after his own safety?"
"Yes," Mr Prime replied.
Mr Jimmy agreed with Mr Derroch that on the day of the accident, Mr Jimmy had told Mr Prime that he had done a stupid thing by leaving his hand on the chain.
To Mr Halim, Mr Derroch said the supervisor who spoke to Mr Halim after the accident had written down that the cause of the accident was lack of concentration. The union investigator also concluded it was inattention by the worker.
Mr Halim disagreed.
The hearing, before Judge Max Courtney, is expected to continue until tomorrow.

Art e-retailer DNA 11 relies on its employees for business ideas.
As part of its Idea Generator program, personalized art maker and e-retailer DNA 11 Inc. asks that all employees keep a Google document open on their computer screens at all times. The document is divided into three parts: new product ideas, process improvement ideas and free brainstorm. The e-retailer encourages employees in all departments to enter into the document any ideas that could grow the business. And throughout the day, employees and management can see everything that's been added.
The Idea Generator is one of many structures DNA 11, No. 776 in Internet Retailer's Second 500 Guide, has in place to encourage innovation among employees. The retailer consciously works to foster creativity, rather than simply hoping an employee will be struck by a brilliant idea, says director of marketing Spencer Callaghan.
Additionally, the e-retailer has a process it calls Green Hat that brings employees together to brainstorm about ideas for new technologies, marketing strategies or new products. "You throw out ideas and nobody is allowed to talk negatively about anything, even if it breaks the laws of physics," he says. "Everything that gets said is thrown up on the board. Some ideas may go nowhere, but others end up being something great. A lot of the product development process here begins with Green Hat."
Some ideas thrown out lately include a new filter, or image design effect, the company could use in Adobe Photoshop that is now one of the most popular filters the retailer uses when designing art; a different way of wiring canvases that cuts production time 30 seconds per canvas; or a crowdsourcing area of the site called DNA 11 Labs where shoppers can recommend and vote on new product ideas.
Acknowledgement is important at DNA 11, so employees are rewarded for their Green Hat or Idea Generator suggestions with free canvas prints, and the best ideas even draw quarterly bonuses. The retailer would not disclose the bonus amounts.
Some of the most innovative ideas the company has implemented in recent years have come from this type of internal brainstorming, Callaghan says. DNA 11's encouragement of throwing out ideas is not only a way of growing the business through innovative strategies, he adds, but also a way to encourage employees to feel more connected to the enterprise, as though they have a real stake in its long-term success. This feeling, in turn, leads to more and better ideas.

solely theirs;
it is the bass
and the melody
of my morning,
and my evening,
and my night.
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo (via quotes-shape-us)
anger and regret
dance hand in hand, like lovers
without direction
i'm sorry;
it is not
for a lack of care
that my ears
become inept.
it is only
that some condolences
can be offered
fewer times
than you have asked.
if i am summer,
then what are you?
can't you be
a summer too?
are you instead
the winter, blue?
snow-covered hills
and laced up boots —
my summer will turn you
into spring's cool dew.
do you prefer
the autumn fair,
with its cider spiced
and auburn hair?
i think that's it. yes,
you must be
the fall-time chill
and its reddened leaves.
if that is the case,
then all i can do,
is ripen your fruit
and wait for you.
my father
wrote his own bible,
based not on
the words
of matthew or john,
but on michael,
triumphant warrior,
father of four,
bread winner
and care giver,
lover of the outdoors.
he rode his bicycle
from the base
of the mountain
all the way to the top;
when he reached the peak
the spectator surround
were ready
to name the mountain
after him.
you cannot say
i accept this hole
while maintaining
an inability to accept
the one
who created it.
John Gardner

do you know
what to me you are
a shining light
a shooting star
you radiate
both day and night
the beating of
your heart so bright
a soft and brilliant
spoken breeze
leaves light rustle
through the trees
basil growing
perfect tense
we cook the meal
we burn incense
this and more
i've learned,
only after twenty-odd
years of life,
that the only reason
i ever disliked my mother
is because she knew
when i might collapse
and she didn't let me.
Diaries of Me
for when you find out
via a small,
government stamped envelope
that your divorce
is final:
do not trick yourself
into remembering the bad
like you did
when so many other relationships
wallow for a while.
know that the tightness
in your chest
is not for nothing,
and trust that the absence
of nothing
is the presence
of love.
turn your self-destructive desires
into your fingers
tapping a keyboard
and the spilling out
of poetry.
and trust, with all your heart,
that though this poem
came from pain,
poetry does not require pain
to be beautiful,
and therefore,
nor does your life.
Tiffanie DeBartolo, How to Kill a Rock Star (via quotes-shape-us)
along the graffiti rail
a patchwork urban forest
forgotten weeds and bramble trees
hidden lost soul memories
crying help me, find me please
in rhyme
that falls on deaf ears
with drums pressed in
by headphone bud
while all around
trash blows in the confluence
of hot engine exhaust
and cool September morning
little bird,
retreat to your nest
and see what you
will find;
stay there a while
and get some rest
until you remember
how to fly.

Trap Assisted Gas Sensing Mechanism in MISiC Capacitors

|Barrier Height, High-k, Sensor, Trap Assisted Conduction
We present the variation of trap assisted conduction current through a dielectric stack comprising TiO2 and SiO2 on SiC as a function of both temperature and hydrogen gas concentration. We show that the current can be modeled by the use of a single barrier height across the temperature range of interest (>300oC ambient). Upon exposure to hydrogen gas, this barrier height is reduced from 0.405 to 0.325eV, whilst the density of traps in the bulk of the TiO2 remains unaffected. We conclude that the formation of a charge dipole layer under the palladium contact is responsible for this change in barrier height, as has been observed in Schottky diode sensor structures. Further, sensing the gas concentration by monitoring of the trap assisted conduction current appears not to be influenced by the existence of interfacial traps, offering the chance to fabricate low drift sensors for deployment in extreme environments.

Should you have a dating type?Whether you're into creative artists or uber-preppy bankers, there's something to be said for trying something new.
When I heard that Match.com is using facial recognition technology to help people find matches who look like their exes, my first thought was: this "type" insanity has officially gone too far. It's okay to branch out! There is no need to shell out $5,000 for a replica of someone who, for whatever reason, isn't right for you. Instead, follow the advice of dating coach and relationship expert Tracey Steinberg, author of "Flirt for Fun and Meet the One," and open up your mind.
First, figure out if your specific type is a problem: "Think about if there have been any consistent patterns in your love life that aren't working," Steinberg says. She offered the example of a client of hers who felt like she was never number one in a guy's life. After Steinberg walked her through her dating history, the client realized she was attracted to workaholic types. "I pointed out that if she was always trying to make it work with very educated, extremely ambitious people, she was always going to feel like she wasn't their top priority." So, think about it: do you routinely find yourself playing out the same drama in one relationship after another? It may be because you're too stuck on your type.
So, you met someone you're wildly attracted to? Run the other way. It sounds extreme, but sometimes that's the only way to break the habit! If you're into someone, it might be because he reminds you of guys from your past. Instead, seek out a different kind of person. "The next time you meet someone who doesn't really attract you, give him a chance," Steinberg recommends. Let's make this clear: she's not advocating settling. "Settling would be staying in a relationship that isn't satisfying you. Instead, you'll be opening yourself up to the infinite number of single people in the world to see what can work for you," she clarifies. Point taken.
That's not to say it's always bad to have a type. "I'm all about being open-minded, but if what you're doing is working, keep doing it," Steinberg says. The key, according to her, is that your partner is healthy (free from addictions or similar issues that could hinder a relationship), confident (can hold down a job and be self-actualizing), and available (able to be in the kind of relationship you're looking for). If he has those qualities and just happens to play into your type, then by all means, you have our permission to, as Steinberg says, "ride off into the sunset together."

Pronomar are happy about a recent order they got from STX Norway Accommodation AS, a company specializing in the interior outfitting of the accommodation areas of their new-build vessels.
They are part of STX OSV, a major global shipbuilder, construction both offshore and specialized vessels in the offshore oil and gas exploration.
STX OSV Accommodation AS recently placed an order with Pronomar for their efficient boot drying panels to be installed on one of their trawlers. The boot drying panels, in total for 20 pairs of boots, are made from high-quality stainless steel and will make sure the crews boots will be perfectly dried and maintained on a daily basis.
By drying the boots properly and efficiently, you not only improve the people's health and motivation which in turn leads to an excellent work environment, but it also helps to save money in terms of purchasing costs for boots, as it goes without saying that if the boots are always kept in dry and well looked after condition their lifetime will be prolonged considerably. We consider the facts that the drying panels are absolutely maintenance free with a 10 year warranty as well as the stylish stainless steel design the icing on the cake.
Pronomar are very pleased this cooperation with STX OSV and trust the crew on board the trawler will benefit from dry boots on a daily basis.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

House panel OKs bill expanding rewards program
A House panel on Wednesday approved legislation that would expand the State Department's rewards for justice program to target the world's most serious human rights abusers, with African warlord Joseph Kony a top target.
Associated Press
A House panel on Wednesday approved legislation that would expand the State Department's rewards for justice program to target the world's most serious human rights abusers, with African warlord Joseph Kony a top target.
In a rare moment of bipartisanship, Democratic and Republican members of the Foreign Affairs Committee adopted a bill that would authorize operations for the State Department and speed up the process for U.S. arms sales overseas. The voice vote approval reflected the desire of both parties to complete such a broad-based State Department bill for the first time in a decade. The measure avoids the politically charged fights over U.S. aid to foreign nations and focuses on funds for the department, the Broadcasting Board of Governors and the Peace Corps.
One provision that has widespread support, including the backing of the department, is expansion of the rewards program.
The program, established in 1984, gives the secretary of state the authority to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction of anyone who plans, commits or attempts international terrorist acts. The amount of the reward would be at the secretary's discretion. The bill would expand that authority to allow the State Department to publicize and pay rewards for information about individuals involved in transnational organized crime or foreign nationals wanted by any international criminal tribunal for war crimes or genocide.
Kony and his ruthless guerrilla group, the Lord's Resistance Army, are responsible for a 26-year campaign of terror in Central Africa that has been marked by child abductions and widespread killings. The United States designated the Lord's Resistance Army a terrorist organization in 2001. Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court for heinous attacks in multiple countries.
Last year, President Barack Obama dispatched 100 U.S. troops - mostly Army Special Forces - to Central Africa to advise regional forces in their hunt for Kony, a military move that received strong bipartisan support.
Calling Kony "the sadistic head of the LRA," Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., said his capture is a top goal and U.S. military advisers consider a reward offer critical to their success.
"They need this tool in the field now," Royce said. Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., said it would help get Kony "brought to justice."
In nearly 30 years, the United States has paid more than $100 million to more than 70 people for information about terrorism.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., has introduced similar legislation in the Senate.
Rep. Ilena Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., chairwoman of the House committee, said the approval of the bill strengthens the panel's role in oversight of the department. Rep. Howard Berman of California, the panel's senior Democrat, said that if the committee wants to be taken seriously, it must produce legislation that the full House can back.

Julian Baring | July 2, 2012 | Comments
Inexperienced employees are running digital campaigns. That's a problem, but it can be remedied.
Today's smartest, most progressive agencies recognize the critical role that technology plays in their future. As media trading continues to evolve into more automated and efficient trading models, adopting and leveraging technology that underpins this industry sea change will be a critical success factor and result in increasing competitive advantage. This dynamic is reflected in the investments holding companies are making in trading desks and in implementing robust, synchronized, automated workflows across their businesses to ensure data is more effectively managed. However, even as these investments and changes cascade through agency land, an ever increasing and notable issue relates to talent - the critical and precious asset that makes an agency hum - their people.
Digital media agencies universally seem to struggle with attracting and retaining the right and best talent to service this new tech-led reality, and when they do, to ensure knowledge is sufficiently robust about the evolving technology landscape. There are organizational and training realities that must be addressed to get the agencies' talent tech ready and secure future competitive advantage. Not addressing these head on will impact any agency's ability to deliver great service to their clients, who are, after all, their lifeblood. So, how exactly do we future-proof the agency, when it comes to technology and agency talent?
Telling Trends on Talent
Recently, when addressing workflow process and data systems inside the agency, I referenced research conducted by my firm. Research in which we heard from over 500 agency insiders and conducted over 40 agency systems audits. Through this, we tapped into an incredible level of self-awareness by agency management regarding the talent gap. That same research is worth revisiting as we consider what's going on inside the agency - and potential solutions.
Business Implications of Current State
The business impact of this state is clear. For one, in such an amorphous environment, where the proper talent may not be in-house, properly skilled, or loosely organized - organizational and technical IP is scattered, if not lost, and the ensuing friction through the organization becomes poisonous.
Secondly, a future that depends on technology for success and profitability requires that leadership all the way through to the most junior of roles, understands the critical role and capabilities that the various technologies comprising the agency toolkit are expected to fulfill. This is inconsistent across the agency set.
Technology selection decisions should be made centrally following careful strategic and functional consideration. People with a detailed understanding of the role the solution is supposed to fill and a vested interest in ensuring the correct solutions are selected and implemented are critical to this factor. That is not always the case in the current state, so poor technology decision-making remains an issue in the agency world.
Looking toward the future, comprehension of these solutions needs to trickle through the organization, and careful induction of new employees should form a critical part of the on-boarding process. Not making sure of this now has a very real future cost.
Specifically, as with any operational inefficiency and knowledge gap or lack of understanding on requisite capabilities and tools, there are reduced margins. These poor margins put agencies at great peril in a very price-competitive and rapidly evolving industry. As well, we see these impacts to our business:
The Outlook/Requirements for System Adoption
Bringing new talent into the industry has always been a challenge for agencies. Some agencies put a significant emphasis on training, bringing value to the agency and the clients. Developing induction plans where the agencies collaborate with technology vendors to ensure consistent, standardized practices are part of employee training is a key requirement.
Workflow Solutions
Ultimately, of course, to resolve the current state, we must have a combination of things that include reward and recognition, but there are certainly some immediate steps that are well within the agencies' grasp:
For digital agencies in the current technology-heavy environment, a commitment to systems training across the user base, and leadership teams is critical to ensuring technology fulfills its role as an accelerator and enabler of business success. Thoroughly acting on that commitment is how we will future proof the agency.

Summer is coming and young people are invited to try their hand at sailing tomorrow when the Marlborough Colleges Sailing Club holds its annual open day.
Founding member Cindy Adams-Vining says this is the 10th year students from Queen Charlotte and Marlborough Girls' and Boys' Colleges have had a shared sailing club, which provides two-person boats for each school's six to eight-member teams.
Previous boating experience isn't required for those turning up at Shelly Beach tomorrow, but those who decide to join for the summer season will learn the skills and rules of competitive sailing.
After the annual open day, the club doesn't run regular events, leaving it up to each school to find its own coach, co-ordinate practice sessions and decide which regional and national events its team will enter.
Last month Marlborough Girls' College sent a team to compete at the annual Algies Bay spring regatta near Auckland.
In other years, some teams have travelled to inter-dominion regattas in Australia, Cindy says.
She was among the parents who formed the club 10 years ago.
Each Marlborough college owned two or three boats in various states of repair, so the group offered to fix them up and make them available.
Community support and sponsorship have since seen all boats replaced and the club has nine boats for Marlborough college teams to use this summer.
"Our mission, our aim, is to keep [sailing] affordable for everybody," Cindy says. "Sailing can be quite an elite sport so we try and make it available for every secondary student in Marlborough.
"We've built up the sport in the region and we have quite a high reputation around the country for what we can do. Very few regions have been able to work together as well as we do."
Tomorrow's open day is free but students who want to join a team for a summer of sailing must pay a $50 fee.
Intending sailors are asked to bring life jackets if they have them (spares are available for those who don't) and to wear warm, comfortable clothes and shoes that can get wet. An experienced sailor will be in each two-person boat.
"Team sailors, [students] learn to be part of a team," Cindy says. "It's not about being the fastest sailor but being tactical and thinking outside the square.
"You have to know your rules, know who gives way to who on the marks, think quickly, work well as a team – and be willing to get wet!
"The kids love it and they build up quite a camaraderie."
The Marlborough Colleges Sailing Club open day starts at 1pm tomorrow at Shelley Beach, Picton.

Two children and a woman were left with critical head injuries after their car crashed off a road, flipped and landed in a river 30 metres below.
The car was found at the bottom of Waioeka gorge, near Opotiki, Bay of Plenty.
Inside were a 26-year-old woman from Gisborne, and two children, aged eight and four.
Two rescue helicopters had tried to land at the accident scene, but bad weather prevented them. They had to wait at a nearby airfield while emergency services rescued the trio. They then flew them to Tauranga hospital.
Pilot Art Kowalski said he understood the car fell about 30 metres from the road into the river.
"The vehicle landed right way up thankfully. If it hadn't, they would have been in trouble.".

Latest Reactions on Akhilesh Yadav Celebrating Bollywood Night at Saifai

- Text Size
By Karuna Chandwani | January 9, 2014 7:14 PM EST
Despite criticisms, Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav attended the performances of Bollywood stars Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt and Madhuri Dixit at 'Saifai Mahotsav' on Wednesday night.
Official site
Akhilesh Yadav along with father Mulayam Singh Yadav inaugurating the Saifai Mahotsav 2012
According to a CNN IBN report, the Yadav-led SP government spent a whopping ₹20 crore to entertain SP ministers, leaders and family guests, while victims of the Muzaffarnagar riots suffered in the cold.
"CM spending so much money on his programs, he could have spent money on our rehabilitation," a Muzaffarnagar riot victim told ANI.
Another such victim complained about the weather saying: "Its very cold. Already my only son died due to this. The CM only thinks of himself not for us."
Due to the incessant criticisms received by the UP government, the organizing committee chairman Dharmendra Yadav, barred reporters with cameras from the show to prevent live telecast.
Below are some latest Reactions to UP government expenditure on Saifai Mahotsav
Digvijaya Singh, Congress leader: "The SP government has its own way of working, but sensitivity, of course, is missing."
Nirmala Sitaraman, BJP spokesperson: "Plight of riot victims in relief camps is sad, especially as ruling party is having celebrations."
Rajendra Chaudhary, SP leader: "For last 10 days we also had sports and cultural programs in Saifai but the opposition is only talking about Bollywood stars."
Shivanand Tewari, JDU: "People have the right to know what and where the government is spending. You (SP government) should avoid such unfavorable behavior. This should not have happened."
Gurudas Dasgupta CPI: This is most unfortunate. This is absolutely improper to say the least, what they are doing. The people who are there in the camp must be given all amenities so that they return and live a human life

Photos: Texas To Wear Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Gear Against KSU
Texas' football team will have some special gear when it plays against Kansas State this Saturday – the players will be wearing pink gloves, socks and warmup sneakers for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. They'll also have a pink ribbon the back of their helmets. Here are a few photos, courtesy of KXAN's Brent Carney and ESPN:

— ESPN Texas (@ESPNTexas) September 18, 2013
As ESPN Texas notes, the Longhorns don't have any home games in October, the official Breast Cancer Awareness Month – hence the decision to wear the pink gear earlier. They have two road games along with their annual matchup against Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
Nothing wrong with getting this kind of thing started a little early – nice work, Texas.

text: yes and no, good looking "people" dont need game. Theres always someone who tries to get at those people who are physically attractive. They'll always have someone interested in them just because of the way they look. BUT its the personality that really matters. Being physically attractive is what draws a person but their personality is what makes them stick.
