Pipemaking Supplies
This list has been compiled as a guide to members. Reference to any commercial product or supplier should not be considered an endorsement. It should not be regarded as complete or definitive. Any additional information or corrections are welcome and should be sent to either email@example.com, or Julia Say (see below).
Prospective pipemakers should make use of the various search engines (e.g. Google) to find suppliers. Local model shops can supply brass tubing and rods for ferrules, drone valves, square section tubing for composite reed bodies and aluminium alloy tubing for reed staples. Aeromodelling shops also supply silicone-plastic tubing (16-20mm i.d) for bellows pipes. NB commercial brass rod from model shops may not be strong enough for keys. See Metal below.
Traditionally, the pipes have been made from either ivory, or tropical hardwoods such as African Blackwood, Ebony, Lignum vitae. Most of these materials are listed in Appendix II of CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) as potentially endangered species. Pipes can be made from boxwood, and other non-tropical hardwoods. Prospective pipemakers are asked to take great care when sourcing these materials, to ensure that they have been obtained from ethical suppliers, in countries where trade in such items is better regulated than in others, such as Somalia or Sudan (ivory), or Madagasgar (woods) where there is little or no control.
Bellows plates can be made from almost any true hardwood: walnut, oak, beech or maple, for example. See Boddy's of Boroughbridge : www.john-boddys-fwts.co.uk
Imitation ivory www.ivoryalternative.com NB this is used for chanter and drone ends; most pipemakers will tell you that it is not considered strong enough for entire chanters or drones. However, the supplier GPS Agencies Ltd website states that "Col. 849/TM, a specially cast polyester with the full and varied characteristics of real ivory. Perfect for machining, drilling, threading, boring and specialised turning". Supplied in various diameter rods up to a metre long. GPS also supply horn, for drone/chanter ends, Tortoiseshell, Ebony, Mother of Pearl, Abalone for bellows inlay.

Bag covers, threads etc: any decent haberdashery.
Beeswax: furniture shops, honey merchants.
Bellows: Boyce also make bellows for the Northumbrian smallpipes. See

Metal for keys: Nickel Silver (1/4 x 1/8" for keys) Smiths: www.smithmetal.com/products/catalogue.asp . Also brass rod and wire.
Silver and tools including soldering supplies from www.cooksongold.com
Reed Cane: Haworth of London: www.howarth.uk.com Also sell reedmaking kit for oboe and bassoon that can be adapted to our uses.
To repeat the note above, any additional information or corrections should be sent to either firstname.lastname@example.com, or the Secretary.
For those interested in making their own pipes (i.e. a single set):
Making a set of pipes is an excellent way of finding out how the pipes work, how reeds work, and how the pipes are maintained
it has been suggested that instead of investing in a significant amount of materials, individuals could approach pipemakers for a 'pipemaking kit' containing all the materials to make a set. The individual suggesting this did not recommend which pipemaker(s) might be persuaded to offer this service, or the extent of the protective clothing required by persons approaching pipemakers to directly request such a service.
For those who are not skilled with the lathe, and who do not possess the equipment, the costs of buying the equipment and learning to use it far outweigh the costs of a set of pipes from even the best makers. Also the time necessary to acquire the skills of pipemaking, and the time to make a successful functioning set might be better spent practising the pipes and becoming a better piper.
If you experience any difficulties please contact Julia Say, Park House, Lynemouth, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 5XQ or email@example.com

Counterparties: The lessons of tuition inflation
Welcome to the Counterparties email. The sign-up page is here, it's just a matter of checking a box if you're already registered on the Reuters website. Send suggestions, story tips and complaints to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Why have college costs risen 12 fold in 30 years? In a terrific story today, John Hechinger points to "administrative bloat" at public universities like Purdue, which has made a habit of doling out six-figure salaries to armies of administrators:
Purdue has a $313,000-a-year acting provost and six vice and associate vice provosts, including a $198,000 chief diversity officer. It employs 16 deans and 11 vice presidents, among them a $253,000 marketing officer and a $433,000 business school chief.
The rise in tuition could be exacting a toll on enrollments: Richard Vedder thinks that with tuition increasing at twice the rate of consumer prices, "colleges may in some cases be pricing themselves out of the market". The gap between disposable income and college costs, Sober Look writes, "has widened to historical highs". For a data deep-dive, the College Board has a comprehensive study of the trends in tuition and student aid.
Megan McArdle argues that surging costs are as much a consequence as they are a cause of unprecedented levels of student debt, spurred on by government subsidies. But Mike Konczal flags a Department of Education study that shows that the government earns $1.14 back for every dollar it loans to students and asks, "What's a good word for the opposite of a subsidy? Whatever it is, student loans are that".
Whatever the cause of rising costs, getting a BA isn't necessarily a guarantee of high-paying work: the US now has "more than 100,000 janitors with college degrees and 16,000 degree-holding parking lot attendants". If you look for it, there's plenty of bad news about post-collegiate life. The employment prospects of new grads are dim and their wages aren't likely to pop back after a recession as quickly as their non-college educated peers.
Michael Greenstone and Adam Looney of the Brookings Institute think college is still worth it. The lifetime earnings bump that comes with a BA is at historic highs and the the return on investment from a college degrees is at least as good as it was in the 1980's. "College is still one of the best investments an individual can make," they conclude. — Ben Walsh

Federal agents persuaded a judge to issue a warrant for a Microsoft email account they suspected was used for drug trafficking.
But US-based Microsoft kept the emails on a server in Ireland. Microsoft said that meant the emails were beyond the warrant's reach. A federal appeals court agreed.
Late last month, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to intervene.
The case is among several legal clashes that Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft and other technology companies have had with the government over questions of digital privacy and authorities' need for information to combat crime and extremism.
Privacy law experts say the companies have been more willing to push back against the government since the leak of classified information detailing America's surveillance programs.
Another issue highlighted in the appeal is the difficulty that judges face in trying to square decades-old laws with new technological developments.
In the latest case, a suspected drug trafficker used Microsoft's email service. In 2013, federal investigators obtained a warrant under a 1986 law for the emails themselves as well as identifying information about the user of the email account.
Microsoft turned over the information, but went to court to defend its decision not to hand over the emails from Ireland.
The federal appeals court in New York agreed with the company that the 1986 Stored Communications Act does not apply outside the United States.
The administration's Supreme Court appeal said the decision is damaging "hundreds if not thousands of investigations of crimes ranging from terrorism, to child pornography, to fraud."
The emails, the administration noted, may reside on a server somewhere, but said Microsoft can retrieve them "domestically with the click of a computer mouse."

'Welcome to the comeback club' - Patriots congratulate Barcelona
The New England Patriots and Barcelona have a lot in common, even more so after Wednesday.
New England boast arguably the greatest ever quarterback and five-time NFL Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, while Barca are able to call upon five-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi, who is regarded as the best footballer in history.
The greatest comeback, minute by minute
Editors' Picks
But the two teams stand closer together after Barca completed the greatest comeback in Champions League history, overturning a 4-0 first-leg deficit against Paris Saint-Germain as they claimed a remarkable 6-1 victory to advance to the quarter-finals 6-5 on aggregate.
Barca scored three goals after the 88th minute, including the winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
Welcome to the comeback club!— New England Patriots (@Patriots) March 8, 2017
Congrats on an unbelievable win, @FCBarcelona! pic.twitter.com/UNnEj4wMeJ
And the Patriots were quick to congratulate Barca, welcoming the Spanish titleholders to the comeback club.
New England trailed by as many as 25 points in the second half as they pulled off a miraculous 34-28 overtime win against the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI last month.
Thanks, @Patriots! It's great to have friends who are so inspiring!— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) March 8, 2017

Thanks for everyones support.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Pipelife around the World - July 2013
Vacation for socially vulnerable children
During school holidays, all children go on vacation. At least, that is what most people think.
In Belgium (and in a lot more other countries) not every child has this opportunity. Most of those children live in poor families. They have financial difficulties, but they are also excluded from agreeable homes, good education, good health services, cultural activities,…
For those children, Red Cross Flanders organizes summer camps. During these camps, play and fun are the most important! As the children encounter a lot of difficulties at home, they can count on as much personal attention as necessary from the volunteers. They encourage the children wherever needed, so that every child has a wonderful vacation.
The parents also benefit from these summer camps. As their children are on holiday, they can take time to rest too. Children who go with the Red Cross on holiday return to their parents with lots of nice holiday stories. On the first day in class, they also can tell stories about their vacation. This also helps to let grow the self-confidence of the children and the parents.
These summer camps are also a wonderful experience for the volunteers. They experience that poverty is a real problem in our society and that the children encounter lots of difficulties in their lives.
Red Cross Flanders organizes every summer 13 summer camps on different locations in Flanders. For each camp we need a team of approximately 21 volunteers. They take care of 40 children and do everything they can to give the children a wonderful and unforgettable holiday.
In July, Pipelife therefore decided to financially supports the Red Cross Flandars in organizing their summer camps for socially disadvantaged children.

House Rules
Full face protection must be worn at all times while inside the arena.

All playing players must wear suitable full face protections that are specifically designed for Airsoft or paintball. Players wearing only safety glasses will not be permitted to play without a lower mesh mask or a covered soft or hard shell face mask.
Full face protection can be hired at the reception. Take note, players found shooting at spectators in the watch tower will be removed from the game without refund.
In the event that yours or someone else's safety is compromised, an eyes call must be given.
When you hear this call "EYES" all players must loudly repeat the eyes call, cease fire and wait for the DS to give further instruction.

You are not allowed to touch another player's equipment without their express permission. Players found to have broken any of these rules may be banned for up to 3 months or indefinitely.
A player is considered hit as soon as a bb strikes any part of their body that includes hits on your gun, parts of your equipment, or anything else you are carrying… they all count. Friendly fire isn't friendly and also counts as a hit.

Face To Face:
When two players run into each other with their guns raised at each other, they are considered both dead.
Ricochet hits do count if they come off a shallow angle, as it is difficult to tell if it was a straight shot or not. However players are not allowed to intentionally try and ricochet hit another player.

Players may not bring in restricted equipment deemed unsafe by the DS. This includes real firearms, metal knives, steel and glass BB's, explosive or pyrotechnic devices, smoke, Hakkotsu thunder co2 or stun grenades. If you are unsure, please check with the DS first.
Special Rules to be explained upon request:
Handheld bb grenades have a range of 5 meters. When a BB grenade explodes; it fires 200 BB in all directions (360 degrees). Within this range, all players are HIT. If you are in doubt, take the benefit of the doubt and call HIT. Handheld bb grenades must be thrown under the shoulder height. Taking cover behind a wall or a barricade protects you from being HIT with a grenade. Only 6mm plastic bb grenades can be used in the Arena.
Grenade launcher shells (40 mm Grenades) have a MED (minimum engagement distance) of 5 meters. Players are not allowed to shoot another player with them unless they are 5 meters or further apart.

The maximum distance for these projectiles to be thrown is 5 meters under shoulder height.
Ammo is loaded into the magazine through the latch at the top near the back.
Players are not allowed to collect BB's off the ground to use; this can cause damages and malfunctions to the rental guns. Any rental malfunctions during the game, players can seek assistance at the Reception.
On the bottom of the magazine, is a windy wheel. It only goes one way: forward. This is what loads the BB's out of the magazine and into your gun. Do not load the magazine into the gun while inside the lobby area. Please wait until you get inside the arena.
If your rental gun jams during the game, your gun may have the option to switch to full automatic. Switching to full automatic can be used to unjam your rental gun, the instructions are: direct your gun in a safe direction while calling loudly "UNJAMMING". While unjamming your gun, you cannot direct your gun towards another player. A player found using burst or full automatic during the game may be removed from the game.
Remember, every time you remove the magazine, there may still be a few rounds left inside the gun. Clear your gun by firing two to three times in a safe direction before exiting the arena.
When you're ready to re-enter the game, enter the arena and close the door behind you. You are considered eliminated, so return to your base and respawn from there.
All equipment has an ID number, and you are responsible for the one you are issued.
Please return all equipment to the reception once you have finished.
Please do not damage any of the equipment, as you will be asked to pay a $100 Fine for the repairs.

The lorry blocking the level crossing in Motherwell has now been pulled clear.
However, the damage caused when it crashed into the height restriction barrier is still causing an issue.
A statement from Network Rail said: "Although lorry has been moved clear of the crossing at Logans Rd, damaged stanchion still poses a safety risk to road traffic."
The level crossing remains closed and North Lanarkshire Council has agreed for a section of Logans Road from the level crossing to its junction with Watling Street to remain closed until up to August 3.
Diversions are in place, but be aware Hamilton Road is also closed at its junctions with West Hamilton Street and High Road as SGN carry out work to replace gas pipes.
Scotrail is not reporting any significant disruption to services as things stand.

The Benefits of
Every year many people become naturalized,
or are given rights, as U.S citizens
What Are The Benefits of Citizenship?
The most important benefit is the right to vote in elections. In a
democracy, citizens can play a big role in shaping the decisions a country
makes. The desires and opinions of citizens can influence elected
lawmakers. Since citizens have the right to vote, they can elect
officials whose political ideas they share. If they are unhappy with an
elected official, they can vote for someone else in the next election.
Citizens can run for political office themselves.
If you are a citizen
you can file a petition to legally bring your parents, unmarried children
who are minors, and husband or wife to the United States. Generally, they
will get their permanent resident (or legal) status quickly. Citizens can
also bring their adult children and brothers and sisters here, although
getting permanent residence will take longer.
Having a U.S. passport
allows citizens the freedom to travel. You can travel for long periods of
time. You can also live outside of the United States. In addition,
citizens receive U.S. Government protection and assistance when abroad.
A U.S. citizen cannot be deported, or sent back to his or her native
country. U.S. citizenship is protection against deportation.
A permanent resident may continue receiving SSI (Supplemental Security
Income) benefits, if they become a citizen within seven years from when
those benefits began. Failure to become a citizen within seven years will
result in loss of supplemental income. Once they loose it, they can
reapply once citizenship is obtained.

Personal Responses from students about Citizenship:
"I want to feel a part of where I live. To participate as a citizen."
Citizenship Includes Some Responsibilities
One final part of the citizenship process is to take an oath of
allegiance. The Oath of Allegiance includes several promises you must
make when you become a citizen, including promises to:
· Give up prior allegiances to other countries;
· Support and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United
· Swear allegiance to the United States; and
· Serve the country when required
Citizens have many responsibilities other than the ones mentioned in the
oath. Some of the key points of good citizenship are summarized on back.
This is not a definitive list, but if citizens pledge themselves to doing
each of them, this generation and generations that follow will continue to
enjoy the American heritage of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Serving Jury Duty
The obligation to serve on a jury is the other side of the right of trial
by jury, one of our most powerful freedoms.
Respecting others
Tolerance is not only "putting up" with other people who are different
from ourselves, it's the spirit of trying to understand them. It is the
judgment of people as individuals rather than of classes. The best advice
for living peacefully with our fellow citizens is: "Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you."
Supporting education and schools
A Massachusetts law enacted in 1647 founded the first system of public
education in the American colonies. Today every stated has a compulsory
education law and publicly controlled schools that, are free and open to
the public. Our nation's future depends on educated citizens who acquire
skills to enhance our economy and who keep themselves informed so leaders
will not influence them or philosophies that weaken rather than strengthen
our nation.
Giving Back To Your Community
Working together as a community cue can accomplish much more than we can
ever hope to achieve alone. As citizens each of us has an obligation to
make our community a little better place. Giving back means giving of
your time and ability rather than money. Another word for this is
Paying Taxes
If you work, you pay taxes. Taxes provide highways, police and fire
protection, military forces, clean water, and safe food. They make
possible the public schools, libraries, parks, and everything public
(Streetlights etc.). You pay city, state and federal taxes. Taxes
represent the cost of our government doing business. As unpleasant as
paying taxes may be, taxation with, representation is a vast improvement
over a government that taxes and takes your assets without you having a
say about it. It is very important that you pay your taxes. Many of the
financial benefits people receive come from taxpayer's money. It is a
law that you file income taxes!

Oven Poached Sea Bass with Quinoa Pilaf
While congratulating us on our wedding anniversary last week, a friend asked 'so what are you cooking for your anniversary?' Well, I didn't cook the day of our anniversary, we went to a Lebanese restaurant and then to Butterwood for dessert. But I did make something special the next day.
When we received the seasonal magazine from our grocery store, I saw a recipe with quinoa and it intrigued me. I found it in the next trip to the grocery store and wanted to try it instantly. So I made poached Sea Bass and Quinoa pilaf. Quinoa has a nutty taste and we liked its texture and taste. Then I read about all the goodness and protein in the ancient grain, and knew that we'll be making it again soon.
I've never poached a fish before and was hesitant about making it. But one of my new year resolution is try new recipes. And I created a 'indianised' version of the poaching liquid with tomato, tamarind and garlic in vegetable broth with spices. It was delicious. We had a wonderful dinner at home with nice fruity Reisling to complement the food.
For Quinoa Pilaf
1 cup organic Quinoa
1/2 tspoon cumin seeds
1/3 cup mixed vegetable
8-10 almonds - blanched and chopped
pinch of turmeric
salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups water
1 tspoon butter
1/2 tspoon olive oil
For Poached Sea Bass
2 steaks Sea Bass - I made it into 4 pieces
pinch of turmeric
1/2 tspoon lemon juice
1 medium onion - chopped
1 medium tomato - chopped
5-6 mushrooms - chopped
1 tbspoon taramind juice
1/2 tspoon red chilli powder
1 tspoon of cloves, fennel seeds & cumin seeds powder (Dry roast them together and powder it finely)
2 cloves garlic - crushed and chopped
2 tbspoon - white wine
salt & black pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
cilantro - to garnish (finely chopped)
For Quinoa Pilaf
For 1 cup of Quinoa, use 2 cups of water.
Soak quinoa in water and let it cook until all the water is soaked and the germ rings are visible. I cooked it for 8-9 min in microwave.
Heat oil in pan and add the butter once it's hot. Temper it with cumin seeds and then add the almonds. Saute for a couple of minutes, then add the mixed vegetable.
Once they are half-cooked, add the quinoa, turmeric, salt and black pepper and mix it thoroughly. Let it cook for another couple of minutes and take it off the heat.
For Oven Poached Sea Bass
Heat the over to 350 deg F.
Meanwhile, marinate the sea bass with turmeric, salt, pepper and lime juice and let it marinate for 30 min.
Heat a wide, thick bottomed pan and temper the olive oil with garlic. Once they start turning brown, add the onions and saute for 3-4 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and saute for a couple of minutes.
Then add the fennel-clove and cumin seeds powder, red chilli powder, followed by tamarind sauce.
Add the mushrooms and let it cook for 2-3 minutes till they are mixed well together.
Add the wine and mix all the ingredientwell.
Then add vegetable broth, season with salt and bring it to a boil.
Put the fish in a wide bottomed dish and add the poaching liquid. The liquid should not cover the fish, but come about half-way up to the side of the fish.
Let it cook in the oven for 20-25 min till the fish flakes easily.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.

Hi Mandira, happy belated anniv! Quinoa pilaf looks really nice...must try that sometime..always been weary of that so far!ReplyDelete
Hi Mandira -- is it Chilean seabass? It's a very tasty fish I know -- I used to buy it alot. Then heard it was overfished and alot of markets/restaurants stopped selling it. I guess it's being farmed now like salmon. I have gone mostly vegetarian this past year, but I still crave fish and this is a favorite. Your dish with quinoa is great! Love your description too -- germ separates -- I never could figure how to explain that :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing -- looks grand and I'm sorry for the long comment :)

"We will display a video on the death of tens of children who died after inhaling poisonous gases," an official of Yemen's Red Crescent Society, Abdollah Maboud Al-Shokri, told FNA on Sunday.
He noted that the bomb explosions in the Saudi airstrikes not only destroy a large number of homes, but also create a thick cloud of poisonous and fatal gases.
Yemeni officials had already warned that the bombs that the Saudi regime has used in Sana'a were different from those used in other parts of Yemen.
They said that the bombs were of the very rare and dangerous type that resulted in the suffocation of the residents of the affected regions.
On Friday, eyewitnesses said that Saudi Arabia has used internationally banned weapons in its aerial bombardment on an area near Sana'a.
According to aid workers and Yemeni locals, the Saudi warplanes used prohibited arms in their airstrikes on Fag Atta area in Southern Sana'a on Friday.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 25 days now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 2,645 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.
Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
Five Persian Gulf States -- Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait -- and Egypt that are also assisted by Israel and backed by the US declared war on Yemen in a joint statement issued on March 26.

I hate Mother's Day
"Mothers are all slightly insane," JD Salinger
I love being a mother, I swear I do, people get confused by my frustrated-Mom posts sometimes, my Mom calls worried from time to time saying things like,"Your blog makes me stressed, are you sure you are Ok?"
I always like, "¡Ay Mama! Come on--it's me!" But, she's just being a mom.
Well, here's another declaration that might make people edgy: I hate Mother's Day.
I think it's an absurd holiday and I get nothing special out of it. So attack away Moms, I know many of you hate me for saying this, but if it were up to me, the holiday wouldn't exist.
I love my Mom (full time) and I love my kid's handmade cards but is an actual holiday really necessary? We are Moms all year long and every second of the day because we never stop doing our job--so EVERY DAY should be Mother's Day.
My Mother's day began with my kids and I heading out for coffee since I was home with them (this contributed to my good mood, as you can imagine). In the two blocks that it took for us to reach Starbucks, we bumped into more moody fathers hanging out alone with their offspring than I had ever seen before in the city.
That's when it hit me. Some mother's do get to celebrate.
They are sleeping, having breakfast in bed or they are at the spa. They are definitely not with their kids. Good for them, I say.
But I was. I went to Coney Island. I ate hot-dogs. I ran on the beach. I chased Diego. I played Frisbee. I listened to my daughter complain. I pretty much did everything-- except celebrate.
But that's not why I hate the holiday, here are some good reasons:
- This year people spent $18.6 billion on Mother's Day. Can you believe that?! It's horrifying, this holiday is contributing to the unapologetic consumerism that rules the world. That kind of money could actually make an impact in people's lives; sick people, hungry people, homeless people. This upsets me.
- My kids constantly whine, this is a normal and everyday occurrence but when they whine on Mother's day it feels like a drill perforating my ear. Is this not supposed to be my day? Can I not get the most basic gift of no whining for 24 hours?
- Lastly, I hate Mothers Day because if this is my holiday I should be pampered and I'm not. My husband is away and I'm certain that if he was in town, he would've made me go out with him and the kids anyways. So this day is no different to others.
I certainly hope you all had an amazing Mother's Day and I can't wait to hear your comments and thoughts? Does anyone feels like I do?

Although most aneurysms are treatable, they can turn deadly if they are allowed to develop and go undiagnosed. If a doctor or a staff member at a hospital fails to diagnose an aneurysm, those individuals can be held liable for medical malpractice.
Aneurysms are damaged blood vessels which can burst, causing internal bleeding and even death. They can have various symptoms, which depends on where in the body they are located and how severe they are. Some aneurysms occur in the brain, and others occur closer to the heart. Both must be diagnosed quickly in order to increase the patient's chances of survival. An aneurysm near the heart (an aortic aneurysm) causes pain in the back or chest, nausea, vomiting, and an increased heart rate. A brain aneurysm can cause a sudden migraine, vomiting, light sensitivity, and other symptoms that mimic a stroke.
When patients show the symptoms of an aneurysm, the hospital staff and/or doctors must immediately locate the aneurysm in order to help prevent damage to the blood vessels and to help reduce the likelihood that the patient will bleed internally or suffer other conditions that are common linked to aneurysms. If the medical professionals involved are able to begin treatment quickly, there are several viable ways to treat the aneurysm.
If you or a loved one suffered from an aneurysm that went undiagnosed in Houston, and you believe that occurred because of medical malpractice, call the Houston medical malpractice attorneys at Kennedy Hodges at 855-947-0707.

The Ignis, however, also came with another lesser known first of sorts — its design was inspired by an erstwhile cult model, the Suzuki Cervo/SC100, signalling the beginnings of a new 'family look' for Japan's small car specialist.
With bold and dynamic lines, the Ignis (and the new Alto for Japan) has many design cues from the first-generation Cervo, a mini sports car that Suzuki made in the 1970s and early 1980s.
As design consultant Gautam Sen, who is based out of Paris, points out, "Suzuki has never had a real family look though many of its models have evolved with a systematic approach. With the Ignis taking inspiration from a 1970 model — the Cervo is reaching cult status among aficionados — Suzuki may finally have the blueprint for a distinctive family look."
Increasingly carmakers are creating a family look, known as 'facial continuity' in auto designing jargon, for better recognition. "Design, technology and manufacturing are strongly interwoven. As any one of them evolves it influences the other two. Decades ago, designers had only two lamp sizes to choose from, that too circular! But today, advancements in lighting technology have offered huge possibilities to designers," says CV Raman, executive director (engineering), Maruti Suzuki.
Raman adds that the front end, or the face, of the car is an area of maximum pride. "There are all efforts to ensure we make it smart and honest to the category and segment."
Other than the Suzuki Ignis, Honda BRV and Renault Kwid are other cars that have counted on the 'family look' of an earlier product. With good reason. "The front end is the first thing that a customer sees in a car. It is of prime importance as far as choice is concerned and is a major element of differentiation," says Alain Lonay, design director, India Design Studios, Renault.
Carmakers say new and advanced technology is important, but to choose between various cars offering the same technology, front end appearance makes a difference. "In the case of Renault Kwid, we have given a distinctive SUV design to the vehicle and completely redefined the compact hatchback model in India," says Lonay.
Car companies have designed a strong front end to help customers identify the brand, keeping it f lexible enough to be adapted to any car size and typology. Globally, BMW, Mercedes and Audi have a family look that is carried through various generations of new launches.
The flip side? Models can be plagued with a sense of sameness in a bid to maintain a family look. That is not a bad dilemma to have, avers Lonay. "Our range is made of a great variety of models, covering needs of very different customers. While our design direction is clear and helps people recognise every car as being a Renault, each car has a strong and distinctive personality and cannot be mistaken for another one."
The family look, however, is not confined to the face, or the front end. "We are concentrating on getting the overall volume and surface treatment of our designs to have a sense of belonging, that is, not just the face but the entire body has to belong to one family," says Ramkripa Ananthan, chief designer, Mahindra & Mahindra.
Design evolves with time — and new rules — often making it possible to guess its age. "A lot of the front-end appearance is governed by regulatory requirements, which change with time.
Current frontal crash and pedestrian safety norms will necessitate a particular shape. In order to meet these regulatory requirements, designers have to use creativity to maintain or build a character or expression," adds Ananthan.
For instance, she explains, the front fascia (painted part of the body that surrounds the headlights and grill) is carved around the front safety beam and the hood is sculpted to meet head impact criteria, yet maintaining a continuity of appearance. Another regulatory requirement in future could be daytime running lamps.
These are typically converted to 'signatures' using LEDs or light guides. Latest technology and manufacturing processes are used by designers to finely craft the frontal appearance to meet regulatory requirements yet maintain continuity (if so required). "Customers are able to clearly identify our designs as belonging to the Mahindra portfolio," adds Ananthan.
Vehicles are also beginning to look similar because of aerodynamics, critical for reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency. If not the overall form, the spoilers or aero corners and safety requirements drive a lot of the shape in front and around the vehicle. Honda believes in the people-centric design philosophy. Its latest design language, 'the solid wing face,' is about a "bold and solid" shape, beginning from the H mark emblem.
"Using this concept, Honda gives its vehicles across line-up a recognisable family look and yet a certain uniqueness, to set each model apart," says a spokesperson for Honda Cars India. Another side of a family look is individuality — something that consumers cherish too. And that's a fine line carmakers have to tread.
As Maruti's Raman explains, "A scenario where cars start to look too similar might bring a visual monotony for customers. We have to respect varied customer preferences and also be honest to varied product categories. It's more a matter of correctly reading the pulse of the consumer and designing products accordingly. I think people want individuality to be reflected in their products also."

Raising a child is hard work, and no amount of advice or preparation can change that. Preparation and knowledge can have an effect, though, on the results that hard bringing up a child work brings. A helpful tip at the right time can make the being a parent process much easier. Continue reading to get a few tips that might solve some child-rearing problems.
If you are an expectant parent, remember that it is not necessary to spend obscene amounts of money on furnishing your nursery. All the necessary baby items, such as a crib, blanket or changing table, can be bought at department stores like a K-Mart or Walmart for much cheaper while still giving you high quality. Also, consider asking friends and family members with children if they have old baby items that they no longer need.
Do your best to have your children eat and go to bed at the same time while traveling. Travel can be stressful for babies and small children. Familiar bedtime routines can help him or her feel a little more comforted and secure in a new place. This will also aid in restful sleep for everyone!
Parents must be careful not to apply too much pressure when children reach their teenage years and get ready to pick a college. Teenagers will often rebel against their parents' wishes if they feel they are being overly controlling.
Build some time away from your kids into your schedule. Even getting a few hours to yourself while a friend or relative looks after your children can have a beneficial impact. Parents can become overwhelmed by stress when they do not have any time for themselves and that can have a negative affect on the entire household.
A mesh teether can work wonders; if your children are having trouble cutting their teeth you can put cucumbers, carrots or pickles in one of these to help. Other ways of relief might work, but your child will tend to continue chewing on something that has a taste. The pressure from the continuous chewing will provide relief throughout the day.
Always bring a beloved blanket or toy for young children that are traveling. Going on vacation is supposed to be fun and relaxing for a family, but young children may just see this as a disruption to their regular routine. Keep a favorite blanket or toy around, this will help the adjustment to a new location.
Despite the fact that child-rearing is a common thread through many lives, the child-rearing process does not come naturally to most folks. Talking with other parents who share your experiences is a great way to get advice, to vent and to learn to laugh about the challenges of raising a child. No child is simple to deal with 100% of the time, so all parents can take heart in learning from others. Child-rearing tips can be had by many people, and they are very welcome.

New technology that helps cardiologists navigate the heart with greater accuracy is now available to cardiac patients at Epworth Richmond.
"3-D mapping for complex arrhythmia cure is essential. Epworth now has access to two different but complementary systems to facilitate treatment and to reduce radiation exposure to both patients and staff. We are fortunate to have access to this technology, which will add to our already busy routine electrophysiology and device implantation program," said Epworth cardiologist Paul Sparks.
The CARTO® 3 advanced cardiac imaging system and Claris recording system have just been installed in the new hybrid theatre at Epworth Richmond, making it one of the most technologically advanced theatres available. This, together with the recently upgraded EnSite Precision™ 3-D cardiac mapping system at the existing catheter lab suite, provided Epworth cardiologists and electrophysiologists with the most comprehensive array of leading technology for cardiac procedures.
"Epworth Richmond is now the only private hospital in Australia with two fully equipped electrophysiology catheter labs, putting it at the very top of cardiac capabilities in the country", said Letch Nadaison Krishnan, Cath Lab Manager, Epworth Richmond.
"The benefits of this new technology for patients with heart conditions are great. It helps cardiologists diagnose the cause of the arrhythmia and to guide the catheters inside the heart with great precision to deliver treatment accurately and in a minimally invasive way. In addition, patients benefit from shorter waiting times for access to the labs" said Nadaison Krishnan.
In addition to performing electrophysiology studies and device implants (eg pacemakers) the catheter labs also provide treatment of atrial fibrillation with both radiofrequency and cryoablation.

Former Marine Tyler Bradford just returned to his native Texas after a long stint overseas. As he's driving home to see his family and meet his niece for the first time, another driver runs him off the road. When that car ends up in a pasture, Tyler's rescue instincts kick in. He didn't expect to find a sexy woman from Boston, and rescuing her wouldn't be the only thing on his mind.
Tiffani was called back home to Texas to settle her deceased mother's estate. It was the last place on earth she wanted to be. She'd put thousands of miles between her and her horrible childhood memories, and didn't think she'd ever find herself back in the Lone Star State. A twist of fate put her in the path of Tyler Bradford and turned her life upside down. Again. Can she finally forgive herself for her troubled past, or will the stubborn walls she's erected around her heart keep everything and everyone she's ever cared about at arm's length?
A Fighting Chance is the third book in the erotic romance Chances Are Series by C.D. Taylor.
Check these out further on GoodReads
Tiffani Cooper
Poor Tiffani, a woman raised in a house where her dad was a drug dealer and an abuser. She thought she would escape her whole past by moving to Boston, meeting the "Perfect" man, engaged and planning her beautiful wedding, which may not be perfect after all. However her mum passes away and she is forced to go back to her parents home to sell it. Nothing has been plain sailing for Tiff and on this trip she meets Tyler Bradford, a sexy ex marine.
Her character is the main one throughout the book, I felt so much pain for her and what she has been through in her life, the flash backs really helped to understand her and why she is the woman she has moulded herself into. However Tiff had big secrets I didn't even expect, she definitely kept me thinking.
Tyler Bradford
Tyler is an ex marine who joined the forces after the attacks of 9/11. He is of course tall, sexy and a romantic. Who wouldn't want him, unfortunately he was not enough for his wife.
Tyler's wife cheated on him while he was away and then found out she was pregnant, due to the time scales Tyler never knew if the baby was his, and he never found out as his wife committed suicide before he came home.
This made me feel sorry for his character he had everything, but it was all torn away from him in such a short space of time. He is a gentleman throughout the book, but a wild man when it comes to the bedroom, which of course has Tiff weak at the knees.
His actions speak so much louder in the book than his words. Both characters have such a traumatic back story that I wasn't surprised that they would be brought together.
I have previously read Left to chance by C.D. Taylor last year, which was sent to me however I never got a chance to review it, so when I was sent the third book in the series to review I could not say no. The great thing about these books are they are based on different characters, therefor it does not matter which order you read them.
I was captivated from the beginning, if I had a full day to read it this past week I would have. The plot was well thought out, the characters always left me wanting to know more, the secrets, twist and turns these characters went through, were definitely what kept me hooked from the beginning.
A couple coming together in a clash, will they survive the 2 weeks they have together, and who will come along to destroy them?
I have seen reviews where people have said it is a basic love story, and it is. But I loved it. It got straight to the point and was a good read, we all have different reviews on books, and this one did not disappoint with it's content.
Genre- Erotica, Fiction, Romance
Definitely lived up to the previous book. The author has created 3 amazing books in this series, for those of you wanting to get lost in a couples love story, as well as all the hot and steamy parts in between.

Point of view refers to who is telling or narrating a story. A story can be told in three different ways: first person, second person, and third person. Writers use point of view to express the personal emotions of either themselves or their characters. The point of view of a story is how the writer wants to convey the experience to the reader.
With first-person point of view, the character is telling the story. You will see the words "I," "me," or "we" in first-person point of view. This point of view is commonly used for narratives and autobiographies.
First-person point of view can be singular or plural. The singular form uses "I" or "me" and plural form uses the word "we." Both are used to give the writer's personal perspective.
Some examples of first-person narrative include:
YouDictionary has many more examples of writing in the first person here.
When writing in second-person point of view, the writer has the narrator speaking to the reader. The words "you," "your," and "yours" are used in this point of view. Some common uses for second-person point of view are directions, business writing, technical writing, song lyrics, speeches, and advertising.
Some examples of second-person point of view are:
For more examples see our article on writing in second person.
Third-person point of view has an external narrator telling the story. The words "he," "she," "it," or "they" are used in this point of view. This point of view can either be omniscient where the reader knows what all the characters are doing in the story or it can be limited to having the reader only know what is happening to one specific character. Third person can also be gender specific or neutral, singular or plural.
Third-person point of view is often used in academic writing and fictional writing. Some examples of third person point of view:
For more information on the third-person point of view read Examples of Writing in the Third Person.
What point of view you choose to use in writing depends on how you want the story directed to the reader. If you are telling a story from the writer's perspective, use the first-person point of view to provide a sense of intimacy. To direct the writing at the reader, say, for a recipe or speech, use the second person as a way to separate the writer from the narrative. To tell the story from an outside perspective, with the ability to have an overview of the piece, use the third person. Always be sure to be consistent in your writing and stick with one point of view throughout. This makes it easier for the reader to understand your angle.

The dog in The Tale of the Bunny Picnic was referred to simply as "Dog" (by the Farmer) or "the Dog" (by the bunnies) throughout the story. Though good-natured at heart, he is told to fetch bunnies for the Farmer's stew. He is not very intelligent and has a habit of confusing his body parts, referring to his brain as his elbow, his nose as his knee, and his chin as his heart.
At the end of the story, the bunnies decide he needs a real name. Be-Bop names him De-Dop-De-Diddly-Dog Bop.
This puppet would appear in several future Henson projects, usually in group shots. It was repurposed as Undercover Rover in Muppet Time and played minor roles in Kermit's Swamp Years, The Muppets at Walt Disney World, and "Secrets of the Muppets."

I looked but could not seem to find the answer to this question. I am 48 and have never had any serious health issues all my life and I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs.
I tested positive September 2004. My VL was over 100,000 and my Tcells were at 305/31%. The doctor said I was probably infected for 2 years or so. (My last test was 2.5 years before.) I was never sick from HIV before that or since then. I started Combiver and Sustiva right away with no side effects and in 6 weeks my VL dropped to 536. Two months later it was down to 157 and my Tcells were up to 387/43%. three months later, (my last labs), my VL was down to undetectable and my Tcells were up to 500/41%. I am thrilled but this is what I am confused about. The doctor said my Tcells will probably not go much higher. That devastated me and why is it that they will not go higher? He has said that probably very little damage, if any, was done to my immune system. I know guys who were down around 200 Tcells or less and are up close to 1000 now. Why won't mine go back up, especially if they were only down to 305? Also, how could I have had 387 and it be 43% and now this time 500 but it is only 41%? Thank you
Where you get to is a function of where your normal CD4 count was and how low it was when you started HIV treatment. We usually know the second number. But since none of us ever know what our CD4 count is before becoming infected since it is not a usual test obtained at a routine doctor visit, it is hard to know what is normal for you. The normal CD4 count range is 500-1500 in uninfected people, so you are there.

Spirituality for the Skeptic
Religious knowledge
becomes mere
superstition when
bizarre stories
that fly in the face
of scientific knowledge
(e. g. a 5,000 year old
earth) are taken literally.
One rationale for
literalizing obvious
myth goes something
like this: "If the
Bible can be proven
wrong about one thing,
then why shouldn't the
whole Bible be wrong?
So we must take
everything in it as
inerrant fact."
First of all we must realize there
are two ways of attaining knowledge:
(1) through factual description. (2)
through intimate acquaintance.
Science, with its sensitive instruments
and advanced mathematics, is the best at
finding facts and drawing descriptive
laws and predictive theories from those
Religion on the other hand is best at
producing deep personal acquaintance with
mysteries beyond literal fact. Such deep
acquaintance is given through the imagery
and metaphor of poetry, the morals of heart-
warming stories, the rich symbolism of
allegory with many levels of meaning.
So it should be obvious that Scripture
was not meant to be a scientific text in
the first place. Those who take it to
be such do not penetrate even the surface
of its richness and depth. If Scripture
is inerrant, it is so not in trivial
literalizations but in the ever deeper
meanings one derives from its ultimate
mysteries. So let us now find more
precisely how this intimate knowledge
by acquaintance works.
How much of scripture was meant to be
taken literallyin the first place?
The part that was literal history we
can leave to the archeologists in
coordination with experts in reading
ancient scrolls and engravings.
Beyond that the Psalms were meant to
be sung, Lamentations were meant
to be chanted, books like Daniel and
Revelation were meant to be
interpreted symbolically. Even many
of the prophecies were spoken from
ecstatic visions - e. g. Ezekiel's
Allegory of the Dry Bones (Ezek.37).
In fact prophets like Ezekiel were
sometimes overwhelmed by visions for
days (e. g. Ezek.3:12-15;8:1-14;
11;1). Also many prophices were in
the formof dreams. (1 Kings 19:58;
Job 4:12-16; Jer. 23:28-29) Moreover,
some Hebrew scholars believe the Old
Testament is rife with numerological
symbolism with many levels of meaning.
(See the book. Biblical Numerology
J. J. Daves.)
In the New Testament, the apostles themselves
spoke in tongues that needed interpretation.
(Acts 2:1-13; 1 Cor. 14) And Jesus himself
said he spoke all things in parables. (Mtt.
13:35) In fact in the New Testament
the morals to the stories were considered
important, not the literal descriptions of
So you would lose untold inspiration by
interpreting these songs, verses, parables,
symbols, and ecstatic expressions literally.
Moreover, the more knowledge and life's
experience you yourself bring to Scripture,
the more inspiration and intimate knowledge
you will retrieve from it. Biblical
inerrancy is not literal inerrancy. It was
never meant to be.
Finally it must be understood that because
Scripture is composed of many different books
from different eras, and that revelations
came through imperfect vehicles called human
beings, it cannot help containing self-
contradictions when literally interpreted.
(See the classic, Self-Contradictions ofthe
Bible by W. H. Burr.) So it takes
and historical knowledge to trace each strain
of meaningto its source, and its evolution
or devolution in later writings.
When finding different meanings in Scripture
it would do well to ask yourself: Which would
be the most relevant meaning today? How would
the original writer express this knowledge if
he or she were living today? In this way we
have a living Bible relevant to today's
problems and events.
As far as faith being blind is concerned -
in our post modern era, even reason and
experience must now be based on faith; but
in this case faith that is enlightened, not
What is God?

Formed in 1920 with only eleven teams, the National Football League is considered the top professional American football league in the world.
Originally named the American Professional Football Association, their name was changed to National Football League in 1922. It is now divided into two conferences, American Football Conference (AFC) and National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference is then divided into four divisions that have four teams each, totalling of 16 teams in each conference. The NFL has a total of 32 teams.
The NFL is broken into four individual seasons; Exhibition season, Regular season, Playoffs and Pro Bowl. The regular season starts on the Thursday night in the first full week of September and continues weekly into late December or early January. At the end of the regular season, six teams from each conference compete together in the NFL Playoffs, known as the Super Bowl.

FBXL4 encodes a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. Additionally we are shipping FBXL4 Antibodies (48) and FBXL4 Proteins (4) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 10 out of 12 products:
Study found a common genomic copy number loss at 6q16.1-16.2, containing the FBXL4 gene in prostate cancer bone metastases. Loss of FBXL4 was also detected in primary tumors and it was highly associated with prognostic factors including high Gleason score, PSA, as well as poor patient survival, suggesting that FBXL4 loss contributes to prostate cancer progression.
Biallelic pathogenic variants in FBXL4 are associated with an encephalopathic mtDNA maintenance defect syndrome that is a multisystem disease.
Overall, FBXL4 defects account for at least 0.7% (6 out of 808) of subjects suspected to have a mitochondrial disorder, and as high as 14.3% (4 out of 28) in young children with congenital lactic acidosis and clinical features of mitochondrial disease. Including FBLX4 in the mitochondrial diseases panel should be particularly important for patients with congenital lactic acidosis
On clinical indication of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, sequencing of FBXL4 should be performed, even when the activity levels of the MRC enzymes are normal
A clinical pattern of early-onset encephalopathy, persistent lactic acidosis, profound muscular hypotonia and typical facial dysmorphism should prompt initiation of molecular genetic analysis of FBXL4.
Mutations in FBXL4 are disease causing and establish FBXL4 as a mitochondrial protein with a possible role in maintaining mtDNA integrity and stability.
These data strongly support a role for FBXL4 in controlling bioenergetic homeostasis and mtDNA maintenance.
SKP1-Cul1-F-box and leucine-rich repeat protein 4 (SCF-FbxL4) ubiquitin ligase regulates lysine demethylase 4A (KDM4A)/Jumonji domain-containing 2A (JMJD2A) protein
This study uncovered a critical molecular linkage between the circadian clock and the electrical activity of pacemaker neurons and demonstrated that CLOCK-dependent Fbxl4 expression rhythmically downregulates GABAA receptor level to increase the activity of pacemaker neurons and promote wakefulness.
Calmodulin/CAMTA/Fbxl4 may mediate a long-term feedback regulation of the activity of Ca(2+)-stimulating G protein-coupled receptor, which could prevent cell damage due to extra Ca(2+) influx.
This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. The F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box proteins are divided into 3 classes: Fbws containing WD-40 domains, Fbls containing leucine-rich repeats, and Fbxs containing either different protein-protein interaction modules or no recognizable motifs. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Fbls class and, in addition to an F-box, contains at least 9 tandem leucine-rich repeats.

Here's the lantern I made for mum's 60th birthday. Tinkerbell is flying against the glass, trying to escape from Hook.
I got some rice lights, drilled a hole in the base and threaded them through to the top leaving the batteries in a recess underneath. (I'm proud of that, most of my crafts don't use a drill!)
I also made the parents a hamper for Christmas, of jams and chutneys and whatnot. This here is a little orchid gnome that I added.
That's all for now - more to follow later!

Two Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority units at 1207 and 1209 Wythe St., were severely damaged by a two-alarm fire the night of Feb. 1, displacing 16 individuals, including 12 children, according to the Alexandria Fire Department.
"The investigation has determined the cause of the fire was accidental due to children playing with matches," said Jane Malik, public information officer at the Alexandria Fire Department. Damage has been estimated at $65,000, according to Malik.
"According to the Fire Marshal's office, the fire started in unit 1209 and spread to 1207," Malik said. There were no reported injuries.
All 16 displaced occupants were provided temporary housing through the Alexandria Chapter of the American Red Cross, according to Katie Murrin-Finch, chapter public relations manager. "We were able to meet the immediate needs of the two displaced families including shelter and clothing," Murrin-Finch said.
"An investigation is underway by ARHA. When that is complete we will then make a determination as to whether we will provide another unit or evict," said William Dearman, executive director, ARHA.
The family in 1207 would not be evicted since they were victims of the incident and did not contribute to its cause, according to A. Melvin Miller, chair, ARHA Board of Commissioners. "We will definitely provide another unit to them if one is available," he said.
However, if there are no units readily available "we are equipped to place them in a hotel or other suitable shelter until a unit does become available," Miller said. "They would not have to fend for themselves."

When discussing your personal injury case, we really take the time to see the big picture. We learn more about the reasons you selected this facility, and then review the actions that took place to determine the full extent of the compensation that may be available to you. Some of the claims that may result from nursing home abuse and neglect include:
- Allegations that the facility lacked adequate staffing to care for patients
- Situations where employees and caregivers have not received the proper training
- Falls resulting from the failure to properly monitor patients
- Injuries, such as bed sores and infections, that occur due to lapses in care

The danger of Daylight Saving Time
What's the real risk?
Comment If the fuss currently being made about Dubbya's attempt to save energy by making the US go to Daylight Saving Time a fortnight early reminds me of anything, it's the hype we had to endure eight years ago about the Millennium Bug.
At the time, we were told that computers hard-coded to accept only 19xx dates would be crashing here, there and everywhere - quite literally, in the case of those aboard airliners. A slew of companies touted everything from expensive consultancy to PC patches. Much FUD was spread, and a fair bit of money was made.
However, come 1 January 2000, most of the work had already been done. The skies were notably clear of bamboozled Boeings, and while there were still a few problems, some with serious consequences for those affected, more were caused by the arrival of 2001 - possibly because 2000 was 366 days long, not 365, but that's another story.
So, will the DST changes be the 2007 equivalent of the Millennium Bug? Various commentators and some software companies have latched onto it as a potential disaster, and are hyping up the need to patch servers and workstations - but DST happens every year.
It wouldn't be the first time that servers have got their clocks out of step, either. After all, the US and Europe only managed to synchronise their shift to DST a few years ago, after decades of being a week or so out of sync.
Obviously, US server administrators need to make sure their systems "spring forward" on the right date - and that means applying patches and having the helpdesk staffed-up for 11 and 12 March - but is the fact that for a fortnight they'll only be four to seven hours behind the UK really significant?
Still, there are areas of business where electronic trading has grown hugely since 1999, and which are very much dependent on timings, such as financial trading and travel. If I were flying anywhere or booking appointments in the US in mid-March, I'd triple-check everything. ®

Political uncertainty – Does this give solar a new hope?
With the shockwaves from the recent election still being felt in every corner of the country, a solar revival may be on the cards according to the Solar Trade Association (STA).
All the confusion surrounding the government, a potential deal with the DUP and a manifesto that looks like it will mostly be shredded, could renewable energy make a come-back sooner than expected?
On the other hand a fairly bleak future has been predicted for solar power in the UK – See Solar Power Europe's new market analysis which gives the UK market the poorest prospects of political support in Europe to 2020.
With the events of the last month, this report may already be out of date!
STA's reasons to be hopeful
- The Conservatives failed to clinch a majority based on a manifesto that was weak on renewables and controversial on energy market interventions.
- The power of the anti-renewables media, which has held so much sway over ministers, but failed to move the electorate, has been weakened.
- The emergence of the youth vote, which is strongly pro-renewable, should make policy-makers everywhere sit up and listen.
- STA still has support from MP's in ALL political parties
- The Rt Hon Dr Greg Clark continues to head up BEIS as Secretary of State – he is among the best Conservative appointments the STA could hope for on clean energy
STA's worries
- The weak position of the Government makes forward planning for business – already tough because of Brexit – even harder.
- It is very likely that there will be another election before the year is over. Again, this affects forward planning.
- The Tory negotiations with the DUP are proving extremely controversial, this is a worry for the more liberal Tories. This concern may helpfully increase the appetite for visible, detoxifying measures, however, the Confidence and Supply arrangement means the DUP will support the Government on essential votes of confidence.
- DUP will not regard renewables as a priority, with support likely to remain a sensitive issue following the RHI "scandal" currently under investigation.
Do you think solar will play a part in your business over the next 3 years?
