An Australian Accident Research Centre states that forklifts designed to comply
with Australian and ISO standards are inherently unstable. As a result
operators have to moderate their braking, accelerating and other behaviours to
compensate for this inherent instability. Requiring forklift operators to
change their driving behaviour to compensate for such instability problems is
not the most effective method of hazard control- the most effective method is
to design the hazard out of the system.
Further they complain that manufacturers do not normally provide operators with
instruments or other devices to guide them in regard to appropriate forklift
driving behaviour.
Furthermore the report gives plenty of advice how to cope with this problem in
order to reduce the forklift stability related risk in the workplace.

The Verona Beach Gym is an unmarked gym in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, located in Verona Beach, Los Santos, San Andreas.
Due to its outdoor location, the gym can be accessed early when the game starts, even before the mission Drive-Thru is done, the mission when gyms are introduced. Also, though it has four exercise equipment just like any other gym, no type of combat can be learned here.
The gym is a reference to the real-life Muscle Beach in Venice, Los Angeles.
- If the player parks a vehicle on top of the 2 barbells, and then gets out and starts to exercise with them, CJ may appear on top of the vehicle and will go through the weight lifting animation with nothing in his hands. On other occasions, he may appear with his body stuck inside the vehicle doing the lifting animation, and he may shudder and distort out of proportion.

Athletic Philosophy Statement
Competitive sports are contests, the goal of which is to win. The guiding purpose of entering a formal contest, in contrast to social or intramural games, is to be the victor. From Plato to the present, thoughtful people have observed that competitive sports sharpen one's wits, poise, mental toughness, character, physical ability, sense of teamwork and fairness, and capacity for self-sacrifice for the common goals of the team all in a constructive and controlled exercise of our assertive instincts. It should be obvious that none of these good things can happen if winning is not the goal–there simply would be no test of wills to bring them out.
As a game in a civilized society, all athletics are governed by rules that set the challenges and ensure fairness, and by sportsmanship that is a positive and humane attitude toward the opposing team, the referees, and one's teammates. Paradoxically in sports, within the rules of the game and in a spirit of sportsmanship, one can do many things that they are not otherwise allowed to do in society: steal the ball, deceive, trap people, deny people, pressure, wear out, etc.
Students participating in sports are human beings with feelings. While their feelings should always be acknowledged, they are not always appropriate. Disrespect, arrogance, and defeatism should be overcome and give way to a willingness to learn, genuine self-respect and confidence.
One especially inappropriate feeling is to identify objective accomplishment in sports with self-worth. So if a student does not make the team, is not a starter, or just has a bad day, he or she may feel worthless. Not everyone can be a brilliant student or an outstanding athlete; but we are all acceptable, worthwhile persons who should be loved unconditionally for what we are, not for what we can do or what we cannot do.
It helps when parents cooperate with coaches to encourage realism in their children regarding strengths and limitations while at the same time fostering genuine self-esteem. Feeling personally superior to others due to greater athletic ability or inferior to others because of lesser ability are both rooted in the same fundamental error: conditional love.
The players are responsible to earn their spot on the team. If this is not insisted upon, effort and a willingness to learn are not rewarded, laziness is encouraged, and discipline breaks down. Starters will be those players who consistently demonstrate a high degree of coachability and accomplishment. Their starting position is by no means assured: it can and should be challenged by other players throughout the year. Those players who are not starters at a particular time should work to improve their game so they can rise in their position on the team.
The members of a team will be played strategically, i.e., according to their relative strengths for the purpose of winning the game. Effort will be made to give the members of the team as much playing time as possible; however it will depend on game conditions, their position on the team, and their ability at the time. It cannot be guaranteed that every player will play in every game. Improvement, attitude, school behavior, academic progress, work ethic at practices, and performance will always be taken into consideration. Please stress at home that desire and effort can make up for a great deal of missing native ability. Larry Bird was one of the less-gifted athletes in the NBA, yet he is widely regarded as one of the greatest players ever.
Practices will be highly organized, competitive, and demanding. They are structured to teach the fundamentals first, insisting on their proper execution, and then to build an offensive and defensive system on them. Encourage your children to improve on the fundamentals during their free time. Excellence is never an accident; it is planned. Professional athletes go to camps to work on the basics. Certainly high school students can give them the attention they deserve.
Sports can teach many important lessons for life: hard work and a dedication to learning yields results; the good of the team as a whole is more important than an individual's interests; and our emotions serve us when they are not out of control. Student-athletes will learn that anything they do should be done with intensity and passion striving for excellence. St. Paul wrote in a letter, "Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being." (Col 3:23)
Parents and coaches should work together for the good of the players and the advancement of the team. Our coaches are available to discuss a student athlete's needs or any other matter relevant to the program.
In closing, we believe that Catholic sports programs should provide an alternative to the excesses in our society. To Godlessness, we will pray before games; to unsportsmanlike behavior, our teams should be young ladies and gentlemen; to uncharitable and negative fans, ours should cheer positively and enthusiastically.
We must be ever aware that our teams, students, parents and fans represent a Catholic School.

There was a time when my only prerequisite for "food" was; it tastes good, it's cheap, there's a lot of it and it makes a solid turd. I've matured somewhat since then. I look at what I'm about to put into my mouth and I ask myself, "I Know I Can Eat This But Is It Really Food?" Not just does it smell good, look good, taste good, but will this stuff feed the cells of my body. Will this help keep me healthy?
I now actually want the stuff that I put into my body to actually qualify as "Food".
There is, of course, a definition for "Food".
Food |fo͞od| noun any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink, or that plants absorb, in order to maintain life and growth.
Hmmm, "nutritious substance" "in order to maintain life and growth"? Will that Big Mac or 2 slices of pepperoni pizza (I've never eaten one slice of pizza in my life) provide the nutrition I need to maintain Life? I mean without Life what do I have?
Face it, we have become a nation of people that are too lazy to take the time to prepare our own meals. We depend on fast and pre-packaged "Fake Food". It's Fake because there is no real Nutrition. When you fill your gut with empty calories we end up overfed and undernourished. The Standard American Diet is SAD.
If people ask me if I'm a vegan or a vegetarian, I tell them no I'm a Nutritarian, it's a term coined by Dr. Joel Furhman and it simply means to eat the most nutrient dense food per calorie that you can. This makes sense to me.
When people want to call me a "Health Nut" as an insult like it was a bad thing. Wouldn't I be nuts if I didn't care about my health? I try to point out that I care about what I eat and not what they eat. If they want to know I tell them, if they want to try it I let them. But, I can't care more about their health than they do.
As far as my other criteria, taste, cost, quantity, and digestibility, I'm
covered on all bases. Often I'll make a pot of Chilli, or Curry or Vegetarian Shepard's Pie and I'll eat the same thing for several days. Now if it tasted bad I certainly wouldn't eat it more than once, right?
I get asked, "Phil, don't you get tired of eating the same thing every day?" My answer is, "No, and what's so exciting that you're eating every day?" Since I make most of my own meals I know exactly what's in it and it always costs less than eating out where I don't know what's going into it.
I'm guessing if the meal is cheap and there's a lot of it there's probably not a lot of quality going in. It's probably the cheapest thing they could find that people can still eat without getting sick.
Salads and vegetables are a lot less expensive than meat, cheese, grains, and bread. Plus, fruits and vegetables contain Fiber which not only fills you up but keeps you feeling full longer. Remember, there's No Fiber in Meat, Eggs, Dairy, Bread or Pasta (whole wheat or not).
I think most people know what they should be eating and what they should avoid, but knowing and doing are two different things. I like the same things that everybody else does, but I choose to eat healthily as much as I possibly can. I work on the 90/10 Rule, "If you eat Healthy 90% of the time you can get away with the other 10%".
That's not a threat, that's just your body telling you that you're not feeding it what it needs… FOOD.
Please take a look at the Best Worst List and see which side you're choosing from.
Then ask yourself, "Could you make some better choices?"
That slice of tomato or the ketchup won't put you on the right side of that 90/10 equation, you can do better.
Remember the 90/10 Rule.
As always your Comments and Questions are welcome.
Please, Share with anyone you know that cares about their health.

Principal Resigns After Reportedly Telling Gay Students They're Going To Hell
A Tennessee high school principal resigned on Thursday after telling gay students "you're going to hell" and a pregnant student "your life is over," according to student reports. The principal also allegedly demanded that students pray.
At Haywood County schools, "physical contact" is a minor infraction, but during a school assembly on Feb. 9, Dorothy Bond, the principal of Haywood High School in Brownville, said that gay students who engaged in PDA --public displays of affection -- would be suspended for two months, assigned to another school, or expelled, according to students there. She also purportedly said gay students were "not on God's path" and were "ruining their lives."
One gay student, who was in the assembly, is said to have tearfully called her friend and fellow student, Amber Whittiemore. "At first she was talking about PDA, and she turned around and she directly pointed to the gay people and said, if you're gay you're going to hell and if you're pregnant, your life is over," Whittiemore told ABC 24.
This incident follows a spate of anti-gay activity in Tennessee. The "Don't Say Gay" bill, which would ban elementary and middle schools from talking about sexual orientation, passed the state Senate last year and was approved by the House education subcommittee a few weeks ago. Last year, in his campaign to stop the formation of a gay-straight alliance at her school, one high school principal allegedly threw a straight student against a wall for wearing a T-shirt in support of the idea. State lawmakers also recently proposed a bill that would protect students who bully their gay peers, if they do so for religious reasons.
There have been two recent gay teen suicides in Tennessee that have gained public attention. In January, Phillip Parker, a gay 14-year-old, killed himself and left a handwritten note in his trash can, "Please help me mom," after reportedly enduring mental and physical torment from peers. In December, a gay high school senior, Jacob Rogers, dropped out of school after what his friends describe as four years of bullying, and took his own life.
After Bond's assembly, students complained to the American Civil Liberties Union, which sent a letter to Haywood County Schools Superintendent Marlon King, asking the school system to express views friendly to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, and to let students know they have a constitutional right to identify as gay. The Human Rights Campaign, the country's largest LGBT civil rights organization, launched a petition against Bond's remarks, which garnered 5,000 signatures in four hours.
Bond resigned later that day. The school system said in a statement: "The Haywood County Board of Education acknowledges its student body's right to free speech. Further, the Haywood County Board of Education strives to provide an atmosphere of tolerance and diversity while maintaining high academic standards."
The assistant principal of the school, Jerry Pryon, has been named interim principal, reports The Jackson Sun.

Hysterectomy can be followed by depression in some patients, for a variety of reasons. Patients considering a hysterectomy may want to talk with their doctors about the possibility of depression and the specifics of the surgical procedure to learn more about how to address depression and other emotional changes. This procedure represents a major life change and it is common for people to experience intense emotions after a hysterectomy or while preparing for the procedure.
In some women, a hysterectomy is accompanied with an oophorectomy, where the ovaries are removed. This creates a condition known as "surgical menopause" by removing the source of female sex hormones. Patients can experience depression as a result of the radical hormonal changes and may be advised to consider hormone replacement therapy to treat the menopause and its associated symptoms.
If the ovaries are left intact, there is still a connection between hysterectomy and depression. Removal of the uterus can be emotionally traumatic for women, as it removes the possibility of carrying pregnancies to term. Hysterectomy and depression can be linked as women process their future infertility. Especially in young women and women who are planning on having children, this medical procedure can be very upsetting. Counseling before and after the procedure can help women adjust.
Being aware of the possible connection between hysterectomy and depression can be helpful for patients preparing for this procedure. It is normal to experience a grieving period after the loss of an organ many women associate with femininity and fertility. Providing a patient with time to process the loss can help address the intense emotions that may arise. Partners and friends may want to be alert to symptoms of depression, as well as signs of surgical complications like infection, with the goal of getting help for patients who need it.
Hysterectomy and depression can also be linked when women receive emergency hysterectomies. In an emergency, patients are provided with limited time to prepare, undergo counseling, and get ready psychologically for the surgery and the aftermath. Receiving counseling as soon as possible after the surgery can help patients avoid depression or identify it early so they can get appropriate treatment.
In other patients, the link between hysterectomy and depression runs in the opposite direction. For people with chronic health problems caused by gynecological issues, removing a source of pain and frustration can result in an improved mood. Some patients feel more upbeat and more energetic after a hysterectomy, because the underlying cause of their health problems has been addressed.
Post 3
I think almost everyone who has a hysterectomy has some depression afterward. I think along with directions for aftercare, doctors should also provide resources to overcome this trauma.
Post 2
@feruze-- A lack of interest in sex is common in women who have a total hysterectomy because of the loss of estrogen. These women basically go through menopause-- some of them at a very young age. But I didn't know that this side effect is possible in partial hysterectomies.
Could you be depressed about the fact that you've lost the ability to bear a child?
This was the cause of my depression after my hysterectomy. I don't have any children and knowing that I have lost all hope for having one was very difficult to overcome.
I highly recommend for you to see a psychologist. I received therapy for several years after my hysterectomy and also took anti-depressants for a while. It made a huge difference for me.
Post 1
I had a hysterectomy three years ago. It was a partial hysterectomy, I still have my ovaries.
I'm depressed because of how the hysterectomy has affected my sex life. I lost my libido after surgery and have no interest in sex at all. This is causing problems in my marriage and I feel so unhappy.
Is anyone else going through this?

Marginally Speaking
(Published: January 5, 2015)
It's that time of year again, when we vow to improve, to make some adjustment to our behavior that will make us happier, prouder, wealthier. While it's tempting to set grand pronouncements of the radical changes we will implement in the coming year, there are two reasons that may not be the right decision. Marginal change is both more likely to be implemented and more powerful than you might think. So, as you sit down at your desk with a clean slate and fresh p&l, facing exactly the same market environment you left just a couple of weeks ago, I encourage you to think about how you can improve by focusing on the margins.
As you can see from the chart, exercising more is one of the most common New Year's resolutions. When many of us set this goal, it's likely with a drink (or turkey leg) in hand, and exercising for just 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week sounds easily achievable, but it's not. Otherwise, it wouldn't be the most commonly unresolved resolution.
In reality, how we spend the majority of our time is nearly set in stone. What differentiates one year from the next, is what happens on the margin. It is there in those moments, that we define our lives. The year we lost weight, bought a new home, markets crashed, kids went off to college. As big as these events are, they all exist on the margin of our lives, where everyday, we eat, work, sleep, watch TV and relieve our bowels in an almost rhythmic pattern. It is the marginal stuff, the things we don't do regularly, that requires effort and attention. It makes us uncomfortable, it challenges and rewards us far more than what happens in the bulk of our time.
According to the USDA, the average man with a sedentary lifestyle should take in about 2,300 calories per day. The reason is that the average sedentary man burns approximately 2,300 calories each day. The sum total of mundane activities such as sleeping, eating, brushing your teeth and watching tv requires the energy provided by 2,300 calories. On the other hand, for the average active man the USDA suggests taking in 2,700 calories per day. Yes, the difference between living a sedentary lifestyle and an active one requires just 400 extra calories a day, or roughly what you will consume in a large cup of Coca-Cola.
My point is that the bulk of what we consume and burn is predetermined, unalterable. Diets and exercise regimes exist on the margin. In the scheme of things, they are little more than minor adjustments to our daily routines, but the impact can be life changing. One less glass of wine at dinner. Small fries rather than large. Whole grain pasta versus refined. Seemingly tiny adjustments that can produce dramatic results, yet generate enough friction in the moment to keep us from doing what is in our own best interest.
The same applies to how we perform at work, no matter the job, but let's look at the portfolio manager as an example. The role involves just three fundamental aspects: developing a view, deciding how to express it and when. For most PM's, the majority of what we do is also fairly set in stone. We acquire information in the same way, utilize the same instruments, invest in the same assets and use the same indicators to determine timing that we have for years. Truth be told, much of the accumulation of information used to derive views happens with very little thought, being predetermined by geography, firm and industry. So, as it is with diet and exercise, adjustments and improvements at work occur at the margin.
When I took over the investment process at a hedge fund years ago, it was my job to turn PM's who had excellent sell-side pedigrees, but very little success on the buy-side, into positive performers. Although it was expected that I would make sweeping changes, I understood that after 25 years in the business, they were, for the most part, who they would always be. Like a good fitness trainer, my job was to understand their deeply entrenched habits and suggest the marginal behavioral adjustments that could unleash dramatic improvement.
Over the next 13 months, thanks to one seemingly minor tweak, namely forcing the PM's to formally answer the simple question, "Why?" whenever they made a decision, resulted in all of them achieving the best buy-side performance of their careers by a very wide margin, and outperforming their respective indexes. I didn't change how they gathered information, have them use different instruments, invest in different asset classes, discover new technical indicators, or tighten up their stop-losses. I simply had them become more aware of their own actions, challenging them to recognize when their decisions were inconsistent with their own beliefs.
Truth is, no matter how good the trainer, how beautiful the gym or powerful the juicer, the great majority of people fail to stick with even marginal adjustments. The same goes for PMs, but why? As I said early in this piece, it is at the margins where vast potential exists, but it is also where you are challenged, feel uncomfortable, unnatural even, and that can be exhausting. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be on the margin, it would be a fundamental part of who you are.
As I turn off the free trial for Bija's publications, I will leave you with this. What makes an exercise routine effective is resistance. Without it, you don't get stronger or more fit. You must get your heart pumping, the lactic acid flowing and the oxygen churning. As they say, "No pain, no gain." Well, the same goes for your mental well-being. You need to challenge how you think, read publications that fire up neurons and create new connections in the brain by providing resistance to your beliefs. Not just those about the US Dollar, but about the type of information you should be gathering and how you spend your time.
On this, the 1st day of the year, when everyone is writing about the overnight moves and big trends of 2015 you mustn't miss out on, does it feel like maybe you're wasting your time reading about eating habits and marginal adjustments to your behavior? Wouldn't you be better served reading another research report on Draghi's next move, instead? If so, good! That is the resistance.
After 28 years in the business, challenging myself and conventional wisdom, I've earned a reputation for thinking differently, with results that I let speak for themselves. It's not about being contentious or even contrarian. It's simply about thinking independently, logically. I will continue to do so on topics including risk management, investment process, data analysis, macro developments, policy decisions, cognitive bias and so much more that affects your performance at work, and in life.
Think of Bija's publications as your mental trainer, adding another plate to the intellectual barbell, encouraging you, challenging you to do one more rep at the exact moment you want nothing more than to go down to the pub or curl up on the couch with a glass of wine. Can the marginal exercise of reading unique publications like Seeds of Thought and Macro Radar really improve how you think, live, work and play? While I can't guarantee it, I would wager that your return on investment will be greater than what you'll receive from another gym membership, treadmill or elliptical machine.
Now get out there and do something marginal.

Highway bypass construction promises to be worth the wait.
Almost everyone who has cause to travel in and around Garden City has been inconvenienced in some way by ongoing highway bypass work.
In January, a road improvement plan closed a good portion of the well traveled U.S. Highway 50/83/400 bypass. Traffic has been off limits on the bypass between Fulton Street and Kansas Avenue, leaving motorists to take alternate routes to their destinations.
And they've been doing so for months, much to the chagrin of many.
The good news, however, is that the newly constructed stretch of highway may be handling traffic in days.
City Manager Matt Allen said the bypass could be reopened between May 6 and May 17, a target date provided by the contractor about a month ago. Allen also said the contractor believes the project may be finished closer to the early part of that time frame.
The roadwork came as part of the new Schulman Crossing commercial development, and includes widening and reconstructing the bypass about one-third of a mile north and south of Schulman Avenue, along with adding turning lanes and a traffic signal.
While it's a big project, those accustomed to traveling the route still may wonder why the construction meant closing the road and not allowing traffic to pass in one lane.
In this instance, there were benefits to closing that portion of the bypass entirely, to include speeding up the work.
It takes longer when crews only work on one half of the road at a time. Plus, the quality of construction tends to be better when the job isn't done in parts.
And with an estimated price tag of more than $2 million � cost covered by the Kansas Department of Transportation and the city of Garden City � taxpayers should want the best possible return on their investment.
For now, we're left to wait to see the results. When the bypass does open � and hopefully soon � the hunch is motorists will find the upgrade well worth the wait, especially considering its part in leading to a new commercial development in the community.
So it goes on the road to progress.

I mean, there must be an enormous number of stupid sentences that have been written over the years since the human race invented writing. Needless to say, because of the sheer stupidity most of them would've been lost in time, torn up by the aggrieved reader and used to stuff the mouth of the writer.
However, I'm not going to go and search the libraries of time to try to figure out what was the stupidest sentence ever written because I already know what it is. This is it:
"Art Writing is in the situation of a fulcrum."
This incredible statement is found in the publication called the Frieze blog, an online outcrop of the well-known Frieze magazine. It is not the only ridiculous sentence in this particular blog post, the rest can be perused for your delectation here:

Bay State voyeurs, rejoice! The Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) of Massachusetts said on Wednesday that you have their blessings to take "upskirt" photos of unsuspecting — or for that matter suspecting — women as long as they are riding on public transportation.
CBS Boston reports that the state's high court ruled that Michael Robertson of Andover was within his rights in August 2010 when he used his cellphone to take photos and video up the skirts of two female subway rider. Robertson was arrested by Transit Police. Yesterday, charges against him were dismissed.
Robertson's attorneys argued that their client's actions were protected by the First Amendment. They observed that so-called "Peeping Tom" laws, which protect people from being photographed in dressing rooms and bathrooms when nude or partially nude, do not protect clothed people in public areas, citing Section 105 (b) of Massachusetts General Law, which states:

Arnold , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Elaborately packaged sets booming as movies plateau When times in home video get tough, the industry has a way of finding a lucrative new revenue source. Now that DVD sales have flattened, a growing number of industry fingers are pointing to premium-priced gift sets of popular movies or TV shows packaged in fancy boxes and commanding hefty price tags."Collector's sets are a half- billion-dollar market, with revenue growing at a nearly double-digit pace," said Jeff Brown, senior vp television and family product at Warner Home Video. "Core fans of popular franchises will buy the sets if they deliver on value."Brown points to Warner research that shows that while DVD sales overall are in a slight decline, sales of high-end gift sets are up 7% for the year so far and expected to climb further because 72% of sales occur in the second half.Gift sets first began popping up several years ago with such early entries as HBO Video's complete-series set of "Sex and the City," packaged like a hardbound book and listing for $300, and Universal Studios Home Entertainment's "Scarface Deluxe Gift Set" ($60), housed in a faux leather box and including such trinkets as a Tony Montoya money clip and a set of collectible lobby cards. But lately the trend has accelerated, with handsomely boxed complete-series sets of such popular TV series as "Friends," "M*A*S*H" and "The West Wing," as well as elegant movie gift sets like the complete collection of "Superman" movies that comes in a tin case along with a reproduction of a vintage Superman comic book and a mail-in offer for five movie posters.Warner has done so well with its gift sets that it is picking up the pace this year, offering no fewer than 14 before Christmas. On the TV side, the studio has complete-series sets of such shows as "Gilmore Girls" (coming Nov. 13 for $260), "The O.C." (due Nov. 27 at $200) and "Full House" (hitting stores Nov. 6 at $170), the latter packaged in a replica of the sitcom's trademark row house.On the movie side, highlights include a five-disc collector's edition of "Blade Runner" packaged in a gray metal briefcase ($79) and a boxed set of all five "Harry Potter" movies so far, which comes in a suitcase and includes five collectible silver-plated bookmarks, available exclusively with the DVD. The "Potter" set will be available on DVD ($119) as well as both next-generation formats, Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD ($149).Jeff Baker, senior vp theatrical catalog at Warner Home Video, projects that these two releases alone will generate $40 million in consumer spending. Quantities will be limited to about 100,000 copies of "Blade Runner" and 250,000 of the "Potter" collection."Two or three years ago, we were one of the first studios to push and promote boxed sets of our library titles, consisting of five or seven films, each in their own Amaray cases, with an outer sleeve around them," Baker said. "But what we decided about a year ago — beginning with 'King Kong' and 'The Wizard of Oz' and then the 'Superman' tin — was to add memorabilia and other types of collectible items and set ourselves apart with something that has a higher perceived value."

The climate, the quality of teaching, the wide range of cultural offerings and tremendous value for money, all help to make Málaga the ideal destination for studying Spanish.
The number of people studying Spanish in the world increases day by day. Today it is the second mother tongue language in the world with a total of 472 million native-speakers: in other words, 8% of the world's population speak Spanish as their native language. Spain is the main destination in the world for studying Spanish followed by other countries such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Mexico.
According to a survey in 2016 by FEDELE (The Spanish Federation of Associations of Schools of Spanish for Foreigners), based on its 89 member schools, Spain receives almost 100,000 students per year. However, according to the Instituto Cervantes, the reality is that Spain today has 153 Spanish Language teaching centres which implies that the previous figure could be doubled. According to the study, 64% of the students are female and 36% are male. The ages tend to range from 12-45 years (mainly 12-25) but it should not be forgotten that there is a constant and stable number of language tourism students aged between 46 and 65 years. 74% choose a general language and culture course and stay for an average of 2 ½ weeks.
According to the Instituto Cervantes, Andalucía receives more than 50.000 students of Spanish per year. A sector-wide survey conducted by AEEA (Association of Schools of Spanish in Andalucía), covering the period 2010-2016, shows that Andalucía is the leading region in Spain with 49 schools, or 31.50%; in other words, 1 in 3 accredited Spanish teaching centres in Spain are found in Andalucía. Málaga is the leading language tourism destination in Spain with 23 centres in the capital and province - almost half of all the centres in Andalucía and 15% of the total in Spain.
According to AEEA, Málaga is the province in Andalucía with most students (13,000) followed by Sevilla and Granada (6000 students).
Spanish in Málaga
Málaga is the pioneer in the teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language. In 1947 Málaga was the first city in Spain to provide Spanish Language courses specifically for foreigners. Today, Málaga city and its province have 23 teaching centres accredited by the Instituto Cervantes.
Supporting the Language tourism sector is a key issue in the economy of a city like Málaga which receives more than 13,000 Spanish Language students each year from countries such as Germany, the UK and Italy, not to forget, the Netherlands, France, Russia and the US. The average stay is 3 weeks and the average spend in the region of € 2,500, meaning that language tourism generates more than € 32 million. This results in around 1500 jobs related to Language tourism in Málaga.
In today's world where communication is dominated by the Internet, Spanish is the 3rd Language most used in search engines, the 2nd in social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter and the 2nd most important in Wikipedia by number of visits.
The students especially appreciate the teaching method, the quality of the teaching materials and teachers, as well as the climate, range of cultural activities, value for money and the life-style.
Malaga Education Week
It follows from all of this, that NACEM, (the Association of Spanish Language Schools in Málaga) is more than justified in setting up Malaga Education Week. The Association is made up of 14 Schools of Spanish and has the support of AEEA and FEDELE. This initiative would not have been possible without the support of the Tourism Department of the Townhall of Málaga and the Tourist Board of the Costa del Sol. The following organisations have also given their support: Turespaña, Turismo Andaluz, ICEF, SIELE, GuardMe, SRM, EXTENDA, Instituto Cervantes, Universidad de Málaga, ICEX, Cámara de Comercio, Museo Picasso, CEM y Festival de Cine de Málaga.
Malaga Education Week will take place from 9 to 14 January. This innovative initiative will focus the attention of the Language Tourism and Study Abroad sector on Malaga. The event is aimed at teachers of Spanish, academics, representatives of institutions, international educators, agents and educational consultants. It is made up of 3 events of major importance which will attract the interest of the press at an international level as it will bring together over a series of days all the latest news, trends and key players in this sector from around the world.

Mission Statement
TrineDay is a small publishing house that arose as a response
to the consistent refusal of the corporate press to publish many
interesting, well-researched and well-written books with but one key
"defect": a challenge to official history that would tend to rock the boat
of America's corporate "culture." TrineDay believes in our Constitution and
our common right of Free Speech.
After helping Daniel Hopsicker launch MadCowPress in 2000 with
the publication of Barry and the 'boys,' TrineDay opened its own doors in 2002. Our first publication was a
reprint of Antony Sutton's classic: America's Secret
In March of 2004, TrineDay and Lieutenant Colonel Marvin (ret.)
were sued over the veracity of the book, Expendable Elite. We prevailed in court in January 2006,
receiving a unanimous not-guilty verdict from a Federal District Court jury
in Charleston, South Carolina. More information and/or a donation to our
defense fund may be made here: http://www.expendableelite.com/lawsuit1/index.html

Key anniversaries at the US Open
PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) — A look at some of the anniversaries at the US Open this year:
100 years ago (1914): Walter Hagen tied for fourth in his U.S. Open debut, though no one paid much attention for good reason — that was 1913, the year Francis Ouimet stunned Britain's best to win at Brookline. A year later, Hagen set the U.S. Open record with a 68 in the opening round at Midlothian Country Club and went wire to wire, defeating amateur Chick Evans by one shot. It was the first of his 11 major championships, two of them in the U.S. Open.
75 years ago (1939): Byron Nelson's first U.S. Open title at Philadelphia Country Club is remembered as much for the U.S. Open Sam Snead lost. Snead came to the par-5 18th needing only a par to win. There were no scoreboards back then, and Snead thought he needed a birdie. He played an aggressive tee shot into the rough, and by the time he chopped his way through the hole, he made triple bogey and tied for fifth. Nelson wound up winning a three-man playoff over Craig Wood and Denny Shute.
50 years ago (1964): Ken Venturi was six shots behind going into the 36-hole final day at Congressional, where he faced Tommy Jacobs and oppressive heat. Venturi shot 66 in the third round, but felt so weak during the break that doctors suggested that playing another 18 holes could be fatal. In one of the gutsiest final rounds in U.S. Open history, he closed with a 70 for a four-shot victory. He was so overcome by heat that he couldn't even read the numbers on his card. The USGA executive director looked over his shoulder, checked the card and told him to sign it.
25 years ago (1989): Ben Hogan's mystique included his back-to-back U.S. Open titles in 1950 and 1951. No one did it again until Curtis Strange won at Oak Hill. Strange took the lead with a 64 in the second round, only to follow with a 73 and fall three shots behind Tom Kite. Kite stumbled in the final round, and Strange closed with a 70 for a one-shot win over Chip Beck, Mark McCumber and Ian Woosnam. It remains the last time anyone has won consecutive U.S. Opens.
20 years ago (1994): The nostalgia of Arnold Palmer playing his last U.S. Open, and Tom Watson leading Jack Nicklaus by one shot after the opening round, eventually gave way to a new star in golf. Ernie Els, a 24-year-old South African, closed with a 73 to get into a three-way playoff with Colin Montgomerie and Loren Roberts. Montgomerie, dressed in black on a sweltering Monday, was eliminated after a 78. Els had to go two extra holes and won when Roberts made a bogey.
10 years ago (2004): Fresh off his Masters win for his first major, Phil Mickelson was poised to win the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills until he ran into Retief Goosen's remarkable putting. Goosen one-putted the final six greens for a 1-over 71 and a two-shot victory. Mickelson was tied for the lead until a three-putt double bogey from 5 feet on the 17th hole. Goosen won his second U.S Open in four years. The round also was remembered for the par-3 seventh green getting so brittle that officials began watering it between groups. Twenty-eight players failed to break 80.

Red, pink, and white peony-like flowers
Like aspiring Hollywood actors, there are some lesser known fall-blooming garden plants that perform brilliantly in our gardens, but are rarely found in the marketplace. These plants have beauty, talent and the ability to make passersby stop for a longer look. Some have even been around for a long time. Nevertheless, they aren't as easily recognized from the street as garden mums, asters, or goldenrods.
As a self-appointed publicity agent for lesser-known plants, I would like to promote the Confederate rose today. Confederate rose (Hibiscus mutabilis) was new to me when I arrived in South Carolina I first heard about it from the late Jim Wilson, the former cohost of PBS' The Victory Garden. Mr. Wilson told me that this Chinese native has been passed along over the years by generations of southern gardeners.
When I first saw this plant in bloom one October morning several autumns ago, I had to stop the car to take a closer look. Standing over 10 feet tall and taking up more than five feet of lawn, this woody, multi-stemmed shrub had red, pink, and white peonylike flowers – all on the same plant. I was awestruck.
True to its species name – mutabilis – which means "changing," Confederate rose flowers open up white and then change to pink and then to red before they begin to fade. Some cultivars of Confederate rose, such as 'Plena,' have double-flowers that change from white to pink. 'Flore-plena' is a common cultivar that has double pink, camellia-like flowers. Two cultivars with single flowers include raspberry-red flowered 'Raspberry Rose' and the scarlet colored 'Rubrus.'
Confederate rose prefers full sun to partial shade in a well-drained location. In the Piedmont, the woody stems die back to the ground when temperatures drop to 15 degrees F. However, new shoots slowly emerge in the spring.
Confederate rose may never get the lucky break it deserves to become famous, mostly because it spends most of the growing season looking rather ordinary with large, fuzzy, sycamore-like leaves. It's also relatively pest-free, and so demands little attention or interest from gardeners for most of the time. It's not until late September and October when Confederate rose makes its debut that people take notice. Believe me, it's worth waiting to see her in bloom.
Unfortunately, Confederate rose is not very common in the nursery trade. It's probably because it's difficult to sell a plant without flowers. Thankfully, we can always find the opportunity to befriend someone who's already growing a Confederate rose with the hope of receiving a handful of pass-along cuttings.
With the owner's permission (who has now become your new best friend), take a few cuttings now and root them in water. Jim Wilson said that his wife, Jane, used to over-winter cuttings in a pail of water. In the spring she potted them up and passed them along to friends and acquaintances. I've rooted a few cuttings in water and found that they're perfect confidence-builders for people who are timid or inexperienced at rooting garden plants. There's nothing to it. Just put them in water and stand back.
One piece of advice that Jim Wilson shared with me: "Don't plant Confederate rose in the backyard unless you like havin' lots of company."

Today, we have two pieces of Intel-related news with reports claiming a solid April 23 launch date for the Ivy Bridge introduction, while others report Intel has begun shipping its next-generation Thunderbolt technology.
Late last month, we heard reports from CPU World, which claimed Ivy Bridge CPUs most-likely to land in future Macs would launch between April 22 and April 28 with availability by April 29. Today, we get a solid launch date with Cnet and various other sources reporting Intel will start its initial rollout April 23. As we detailed previously, many of the Ivy Bridge models included in the initial launch would be suitable for MacBook Pro-like devices and desktop offerings. However, Intel's Ultra low-voltage U-Series Ivy Bridge processors most likely headed for MacBook Air-like designs are expected to launch in June.
Intel today said there would be over 100 Thunderbolt devices by year-end and another report coming from VR-Zone today claimed Intel started shipping its second-generation Thunderbolt controllers codenamed "Cactus Ridge," which would align nicely if both these updates are headed to future Macs…
The best 4K & 5K displays for Mac
WVR-Zone described some of the improvements of the second-gen Thunderbolt tech:
Another aspect that makes the DSL3510 interesting is that it supports multiple internal DisplayPort inputs. What this means is that it could in theory interface with a discrete graphics card as well as the integrated graphics from an Intel CPU. This is likely to be the chip used by Apple in its desktop systems, whereas the more power efficient DSL3310 will end up in notebook products.

It is September and officially still summer…. although in my part of the world, Northern Europe, it certainly feels more like Autumn. Here in the Netherlands we have had the wettest summer since 1906 which means that our gardens have suffered badly from extreme heavy rainfall, strong winds and storms.
I have frequently stood geared up and ready to tackle the garden weeds etc. but have had to dash back in because of sudden terrential down poor. Having to leave the garden rather sadder looking than usual.
Apparently this upcoming weekend it is going to be warm, sunny and dry! So get prepared today and set yourself a 'to do' list so nothing can get in your way to beautify your garden, terrace or balkony and prepare for the onset of nature slowing down.
So I will be tidying away my hose pipe now, get my wellies on again seceteurs and tackle weeds, sad looking shrubs and plants and preparing the garden for a radiant looking WINTER silhoutte!
Below you will find tips and to do's:
Flower Garden
- Make sure your climbing roses are tied back good and proper. In October you can prune them short again.
- Feed flowers and vegetables with an organic liquid feed to extend the season.
- Take cuttings of roses and Mediterranean plants such as lavender, rosemary, santolina and bay.
- Root box cuttings in sharp sand.
- dead head floppy weak plants, tidy them up.
- leave ornamental grasses just as they are, as they are your main frame for the winter silhoutte.
Trees and shrubs
- Japanese anemones can be divided after they have flowered. Take 5cm root cuttings and lay horizontally in a tray half-filled with potting compost, cover with more compost and stand them in a cold frame.
- If you have trees make shure you have them professionally looked after if they look old and damaged, so they will not pose a threat during winter storms. Cut of smaller branches that get in the way, but always do it with extreme caution.
Vegetable, fruit and herbs
- Sow green manures (eg mustard) in the vegetable garden.
- Ventilate indoor grapes as much as possible to reduce the risk of mildew.
- When blackcurrant leaves drop, take cuttings of pencil thickness 20-25cm long. Cut just above and below a bud, top and bottom. Insert in the ground so that two buds are above the soil.
- Peg down shoots of blackberries, loganberries and tayberries to send out roots and make new plants.
- Strawberry patches should be moved every four or five years. This is an ideal time to do so, giving the plants a chance to establish themselves in time before fruiting next year. Extend the Season by giving an organic liquid feed to flowers and vegetables.
- Eat lots of fresh fruit that is in season now for extra vitamin C.
- The kitchen is now the place to get making some deliscious end of summer soups served with hot crusty bread for the weekend and if weather permits eaten outside
- Mow the grass 1x a week and leave the cuttings on the gras for an extra boost before winter sets in.
- Keep weeding regularly, as with all this rain they are stil looming around.
- Keep watatering plants in pots.
- Now is the time to leave the strong striking plants as they are as you want to begin to create your winter silhouette for the garden. Eupatorium, ornamental grasses, Echinacea, Astilbe, Veronicastrum, etc.
- the preparation for winter silhoutte also creates wonderful hiding and housing for small animals and birds.
- Lift and divide woodland and water irises into smaller clumps and replant immediately.
- Keep updating your list of plants you want to move and into which borders and where… as you will forget by the time it is October.
- Take your secateurs with you into the garden and decide which plants are not strong enough for a winter silhouette and if they have died then cut back the flowers.
- If in doubt just do it… that is when you learn most. Take notes of what actions you have taken and adjust during the season.
- Slowly the evenings are beginning to get shorter… so light candles and enjoy being outside and casually place blankets on the chairs, inviting people to snuggle up.
- Enjoy the magical beauty of the garden preparing itself slowly for autumn and winter. Go out with your camera and take som gorgeous photo's.
- Invite friends and family for an end of summer party… and celebrate life!

Date: Mar 27, 2014
Press Release Number: 66-2014
Agency will double number of noise monitors, establish aviation community roundtables and conduct extensive studies of noise issues for residents
The Port Authority is taking a multifaceted, comprehensive series of steps to work more closely with communities on addressing noise issues at its airports, while stepping up the review of noise data with the Federal Aviation Administration.
The agency's overall goal is to address noise concerns while supporting growth at JFK, Newark Liberty, LaGuardia and Teterboro airports, which annually generate $72 billion in economic activity, support more than 500,000 regional jobs and create $26 billion in wages.
"Catalyzed by Governor Cuomo's focus on this issue for New York's airports, the Port Authority has taken a big step in addressing noise surrounding all our airports," said Port Authority Executive Director Pat Foye. "We are committed to working with all communities we operate in to address their concerns, while bringing our airports into the 21st Century and maintaining the viability of our airports as major economic engines for the metropolitan region."
"Residents of communities in both New York and New Jersey will be kept better informed about aircraft noise issues with these enhancements to the Port Authority's program that seek additional solutions to these longstanding concerns," said Port Authority Deputy Executive Director Deb Gramiccioni. "We are committed to listening to the concerns of residents around these airports and will continue to look to minimize noise impacts where possible."
"The Port Authority understands it must strive to be a good neighbor in the communities where its airports are located and we will seek noise mitigation with the FAA where feasible,' said Port Authority Aviation Director Thomas Bosco.
The Port Authority will commence aviation community roundtables with FAA officials and community representatives this spring, one each for JFK, LaGuardia and Newark airports. The roundtable meetings will be held on a regularly scheduled basis and will provide an ongoing opportunity for the Port Authority, the FAA and the community to mutually seek ways to maintain open lines of communication and manage noise impacts. These roundtables also will provide communities input, information and ongoing updates during the separate Part 150 noise studies.
Teterboro Airport already has a longstanding noise group that meets quarterly with local officials, their representatives and Port Authority and FAA staff to seek ways to reduce aircraft noise impacts to the surrounding community.
Last fall, the Port Authority committed to Governor Cuomo's request that it conduct a Federal Airport Noise Compatibily Planning Part 150 Study to better evaluate noise impacts to the communities surrounding JFK and LaGuardia airports. The agency will hire an experienced aircraft noise consulting firm to assist with fulfilling the requirements of those studies, as well as engaging in similar explorations around Newark and Teterboro airports.
These efforts identify residences, schools/libraries, hospitals/nursing homes and places of worship adversely impacted by aircraft noise. The study takes public comment and provides official answers. It also recommends measures to mitigate excessive noise where possible and seeks to limit future development in potential problem areas.
Mitigation efforts taken at other airports that have done Part 150 studies include revamping of flight routes and approach procedures, encouraging airlines to use quieter aircraft and installing soundproofing to eligible properties. The overall goal is to provide noise relief to communities where possible and practical, while ensuring the continued regional economic benefits of air travel.
The Port Authority also is committed to doubling the existing portable noise monitors collecting data over flight paths for JFK, Newark, LaGuardia and Teterboro airports. This will allow placement in communities currently without monitors, as well as greater flexibility in moving monitors around key communities as needed to collect data.
Additionally, the agency has established a new Aviation Noise Office that will be staffed by a dedicated team, which will be responsible for collecting and reviewing the noise data, while also responding on an enhanced basis to community complaints.
The Port Authority has also streamlined its noise complaint hotline system at 800-225-1071, making it easier for residents to lodge specific complaints about aircraft noise.
Residents of communities near JFK, LaGuardia, Newark and Teterboro airports now can track planes and flight patterns on the Port Authority's new WebTrak system, which provides graphics identifying aircraft, decibel noise levels, altitudes, airspace location and origin and destination airports.
This informative feature will help residents better identify which planes and aircraft patterns are causing noise issues. WebTrak, already in use at some other U.S. airports, also allows individuals to log aircraft noise complaints while on the site. WebTrak is accessible at http://webtrak.bksv.com/panynj. While the public now may file complaints on WebTrak, the public also can file noise complaints at http://www.planenoise.com/panynj/daPRAbr9/qs114wbt.php.
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
Founded in 1921, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey builds, operates, and maintains many of the most important transportation and trade infrastructure assets in the country. The agency's network of aviation, ground, rail, and seaport facilities is among the busiest in the country, supports more than 550,000 regional jobs, and generates more than $23 billion in annual wages and $80 billion in annual economic activity. The Port Authority also owns and manages the 16-acre World Trade Center site, where construction crews are building the iconic One World Trade Center, which is now the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere. The Port Authority receives no tax revenue from either the State of New York or New Jersey or from the City of New York. The agency raises the necessary funds for the improvement, construction or acquisition of its facilities primarily on its own credit. For more information, please visit http://www.panynj.gov.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT The Academy's 1986 annual trustees' and business meetings were held on August 20 and 21 in New York City. Among the items of business were: 1. Approval by the Trustees of the election of a Chairman of the Board of Trustees for a three-year period beginning January 1, 1987; this arrangement will be reviewed at the end of three years to determine if it will be continued. Ed Coffman was unanimously elected to this position. Creation of this office is to involve the Trustees more actively in long-term and strategic planning and to provide continuity, allowing the President to concentrate more effort toward a specific agenda or program during the one-year term of office. 2. Approval of the Treasurer's report on the 1987 budget and the financial statements for 1985 and the first six months of 1986. The financial statements for the past several years indicate that dues revenues do not cover the expenditures for publications and services to members. For this reason, starting with the 1987 membership, individual dues will be increased to $25.00, and institutional dues will be increased to $35.00; dues for doctoral students remain unchanged at $7.50. The dues still appear quite reasonable, considering the much higher dues charged by other professional and academic accounting organizations. 3. Election of officers and trustees. 4. Presentation of the 1986 Hourglass Award. The Award went to Leonard Spacek (former chief executive and chairman of the partnership of Arthur Andersen & Co.) for his book The Growth of Arthur Andersen & Co. 1928-1973: An Oral History. Mr. Spacek, a long-time member of The Academy, accepted the award in person, stating that the book had been a labor of love. The Academy was pleased and honored to have Mr. Spacek and several partners of Arthur Andersen & Co. in attendance. Work of the Accounting History Education Committee, under Horace Givens' chairmanship, has resulted in a booklet, to be published by Random House, containing profiles of selected individuals who have made significant contributions to the accounting profession. This booklet is to be distributed to Academy members later this year. Lee Parker, Chairman of the Accounting History Research Methodology Committee reported significant progress on the development of a comprehensive bibliography of historical research methodology. The Academy is most grateful for the $3,000 research grant from the Griffith University School of Administration. The grant was made to facilitate computer data entry for the project. Under the editorship of Jim Gaertner, Monograph Five was issued with the financial support of Arthur Andersen & Co. This excellent monograph, The Development of the Accountancy Profession in Britain to the Early Twentieth Century was authored by R. H. Parker of the University of Exeter. The Academy's other outstanding publications— The Accounting Historians Journal, The Accounting Historians Notebook, and the Working Papers Series— 2 The Accounting Historians Notebook, Fall, 1986
