Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and North American Free Trade Agreement Transitional Adjustment Assistance (NAFTA-TAA) Programs: Reasonable Costs of Training and Transportation Payments
Purpose. To clarify the federal regulations governing transportation payments under the TAA and NAFTA-TAA programs.
References. The Trade Act of 1974, as amended (the Trade Act); 20 CFR Part 617.
Background. A training program for a TAA or NAFTA-TAA program participant must, among other things, be at a reasonable cost (20 CFR 617.22(a)(6)). Where that training program is outside a worker's commuting area, the state agency also must consider the transportation costs in determining whether the costs of the training program are reasonable (20 CFR 617.22(a)(6)(iii)(A)). Transportation payments for an approved training program must be made in accordance with 20 CFR 617.28. This directive will explain how transportation payments are to be calculated as part of a reasonable-cost training program.
Training Available at Reasonable Cost. The regulations at 20 CFR 617.22(a)(6) require that training be, among other things, at a reasonable cost. Further, approval requires that the training be "at the lowest reasonable cost" (20 CFR 617.22(b)). In particular, training at a facility outside the worker's normal commuting area, as determined under the state law (20 CFR 617.3(k)), that involves transportation (or subsistence) costs which add substantially to the total costs of training must not be approved if other appropriate training is available at a lower cost within the commuting area. When training, substantially similar in quality, content and results, is offered at more than one training provider, only the lowest cost training may be approved (20 CFR 617.22(a)(6)(iii) (b)). A state must disapprove a training program if the training is in an occupational area which requires an extraordinarily high skill level and for which the total costs of the training are substantially higher than the costs of other training which is suitable for the worker (20 CFR 617.22(b)).
Therefore, computation of a transportation payment is an important part of the determination of whether a particular training program is available at a reasonable cost.
Transportation Payments. The regulations at 20 CFR 617.28(b) govern how the amount of a transportation payment is determined. This provision states that a transportation allowance "shall not exceed the lesser of"-
(1) the actual cost for travel by the least expensive means of transportation reasonably available between the trainee's home and the training facility; or,
(2) the cost per mile, between the trainee's home and the training facility, at the prevailing mileage rate authorized under the federal travel regulations.
While section 617.28(b), when read alone, could be construed to permit the payment of transportation costs in an amount less than the lesser of the two amounts provided for under paragraphs (b)(1) or (b)(2), when read in conjunction with other relevant provisions of part 617 relating to transportation payments, such a reading is not tenable if the effect would be to have the worker/trainee bear any portion of the cost of the necessary transportation. Section 617.28(a) requires that the trainee shall receive assistance "necessary to pay transportation expenses if the training is outside the commuting area", and section 617.28(c)(3) requires that the transportation payment shall be for "daily commuting" in lieu of subsistence. Further, section 617.25(b)(1) provides that the cost of a training program, which includes any transportation expense, may be paid from public or private funds but such private funds "may not include funds from sources personal to the individual, such as self, relatives, or friends". Additionally, section 617.25(b)(5)(ii) prohibits the approval of a training program if "the worker would be requested or required, at any time or under any circumstances, to pay any of the costs of a training program, however small, from any TAA funds given to the worker or from any other funds belonging to the worker from any source whatever". Thus, we do not interpret 20 CFR 617.28(b) as requiring only that a transportation payment not exceed the lesser of the two computations. Rather, with the limited exception provided for by section 617.25(b)(1) (relating to the payment of training costs with other public or private (non-worker) funds), the transportation payment must equal the lesser of the two in order to cover the necessary commuting expenses. Further, the computation of a transportation payment must include the entire distance between a claimant's home and the training facility. A State agency may not, for example, limit its calculation only to that distance which exceeds the claimant's commuting area. The transportation payment must cover all miles traveled by the trainee for the most efficient travel route--taking into account both the distance and time of the commute--from the claimant's home to the training site and back.
NOTE: The program regulations do not provide for transportation payments where the training is within the worker's commuting area. The expense of traveling within the commuting area is not a "cost of training" for purposes of the Trade Act.
Other Possible Sources of Training and Transportation Funds. A range of services are available to dislocated workers, including those adversely affected by foreign trade, through the One-Stop Career Center system operated under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). These may include supportive services such as transportation allowances. As a part of core services available to all dislocated workers through the One-Stop system, all One-Stop operators are required to provide accurate information on the availability of supportive services in the local area. Since WIA is not an entitlement program, local areas have procedures for determining which eligible dislocated workers need additional support to enable them to participate in training. (Regulations regarding supportive services under WIA are found at 20 CFR Part 663.) Workers who are eligible for TAA and/or NAFTA-TAA may also be eligible for supportive services under WIA.
Action Required. State agency administrators are requested to:
Inform appropriate staff of this guidance.
Ensure that determinations of transportation payments are made in accordance with this directive.
Inquiries. Inquiries should be directed to the appropriate Regional Office.

Apple may be about to drop the USB port from its new MacBook Pros
Apple is preparing to launch new Mac computers next week, but may controversially ditch the traditional USB port.
The long-awaited refresh to the company's suite of computers, including the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and iMac, will be unveiled on Thursday October 27, the technology website Recode reported.
The event is reportedly set to be held at Apple's Cupertino headquarters, rather than the San Francisco auditoriums it traditionally holds iPhone launches at, suggesting it may be a more low-key event.
However, interest is still likely to be high. Apple has not significantly updated the MacBook Pro for over four years, and rumours suggest the new model may include intriguing features such as a touchscreen display at the top of the keyboard instead of the standard function keys.
The screen's "virtual keys" would change depending on what program is being used – music controls in iTunes, but editing functions when word processing, for example.
The function keys along the top will change depending on what program you're using, according to rumours Credit: 9to5 Mac
It may also do away with the traditional USB port in favour of USB-C, a newer standard that does not support standard "USB-A" cables or sticks. The USB-C port, pictured above, is smaller and more rounded than the traditional socket.
While it is not the first time Apple has done this – last year's 12-inch MacBook had just the one USB-C port for charging and connections – getting rid of traditional USB on the more workmanlike MacBook Pro may prove unpopular.
According to Macotakara, a Japanese website with a strong track record on Apple products, the new MacBook Pro will feature two ports – USB-C and Apple's own Thunderbolt port.
It is likely that the laptop would charge via USB, making the only available port while plugged in the Thunderbolt.
The new touchscreen bar could also provide extra information, such as download time Credit: 9to5 Mac
Apple is also reportedly set to unveil a new 13-inch MacBook Air that will follow in killing the traditional USB port, making the standard redundant on its computers.
Despite the slow rise of USB-C, the standard USB port is still widely used, including on Apple's own chargers for its iPhones and iPads, and while customers can buy adapters that convert USB-C to standard USB, or allow for multiple ports, it is likely to prove controversial.
Apple notoriously removed the headphone jack on the iPhone 7, giving users headphones and an adapter that connect via the lightning port that is used to charge the phone.

SpaandanB implements a whole ranges of projects at Bangladesh to alleviate the living standard of the less advantaged. We strive hard to bring about wholesome awareness of self-reliance, self-respect, and a sense of inner potential among the ordinary masses through all aspects of our projects. Our projects follow a holistic approach by doing -
- Establishment of education
- finding remedy for health needs
- providing Sustained subsistence
We have defined " less advantaged" to signify primarily fiscal handicap but to also include lack of access and opportunity. We have concluded that the appeasement of the "less advantaged" is derived from sustained effort in these three major areas. We believe littlest of support and guidance can do wonders in the lives of the under-privileged. But the support needs to serve a global purpose and the guidance needs to fuel a vision for future.
We attach significant importance to the term "sustained". Our efforts are sustained because either the beneficiaries get empowered to continue support themselves at the end of our project or the type of project and the benefit therein is regenerative in nature.
SpaandanB EC formulates its own projects which upholds its mission and vision. Donors or implementation organization can also propose project ideas. Many of the existing projects are indeed proposed by our donors and they get affiliated with the projects not only by contributing monetarily but also by regularly following up with the implementation organization about the progress of the project.
SpaandanB EC does a feasibility and impact study of the project before engaging. Once the project is in implementation phase, EC regularly monitors the project progress. Bangladesh office frequently sends status report of all projects and oversees the project activities on site.
The basic guidelines for any future projects are-
- The project needs to be implemented in Bangladesh and the ultimate beneficiaries should be the under-privileged population of Bangladesh.
- The project can not discriminate on the basis of religion, color, sex, age, disability or political views.
- The project goal should uphold the mission and vision of SpaandanB.
- It is highly recommended to have a regenerative part in the project proposal so that at the long run the project becomes partially or fully self-sustained.
- If the project is not directly implemented by SpaandanB Bangladesh office, the implementing organization needs to have necessary legal clearance to accept foreign fund. SpaandanB transfers fund through international wire transfer which goes through FedWire of Fedline and is subjected to the provisions of Federal Reserve Regulation J and Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code. SpaandanB does not transfer fund to an individual account.

Language school in college
Once in college, summer vacation There is also more than two months, afford to study abroad, because given the time to go to language school, you say that a great opportunity to master the language. Their economic margin, securing acceptance destination, after having carefully considered obtained benefits or the like in the case was transferred to the action, what Let's choose the best. You can be all day experience the local raw language if studying abroad, you can proceed with the study, which was based on a more reliable methodology if language school. It is also important to try in the light with your own learning style. Even if forced to incorporate a new way, because sometimes would use the only time getting used to.
I think there are many people that go to First language school at the time of the study, but that's cited as one of the benefits students come from various countries. Both country of people that do not come easily in Japan have the opportunity to take the communication, you can talk like that you like and for the country of each other. Also English intonation may be difficult to hear so when the difference may have to from the Japanese by country. However, since the opportunity often listen to English with a habit not only beautiful English becomes the practice of good listening. People English is not good at what First it is recommended that you go to language school.

Equilibrium is a sci-fi film with very little originality but quite high production values. That is to say, the plot is entirely ripped off from a variety of other sources but the action sequences look impressive. Opening in a now familiar bleak future after World War III we are told man has decided to eradicate emotion as a way of preventing any further war. The population is kept drugged and overseen by a massive police state with a dictator known as Father at its head. One man must find his emotions and stop the evil.
The film stars Christian Bale as Cleric John Preston, the psycho from American Psycho; it's his job to hunt down people who dare to feel and to destroy artworks. The background is stolen from 1984 but misinterpreted here and the style so badly wants to be the Matrix that you can hardly fail to draw the comparison. The city setting is reminiscent of a mega-city in Judge Dredd with elements of Blade Runner thrown in, except that everything is plain due to the drive to destroy emotion. Images of the Father's head spouting propaganda are beamed onto everything in sight while the citizens sit about like vegetables.
It turns out that the whole thing is kept going by some drug called Prozium II which seems to be like heavy duty Prozac. Anyone who is caught "feeling" is exterminated and all art, books, and music are incinerated. Preston's credentials are established as he catches his partner Partridge, played by Sean Bean, reading poetry and kills him. The Master Cleric, played by Angus MacFadyen, charges Preston with finding the resistance and finishing them off. As the action unfolds Preston begins to doubt his superiors and starts to feel emotions, but he has been assigned a new partner, Cleric Brandt, played by Taye Diggs, who is watching him like a hawk.
The events all take place in this city called Libria and we are given little indication whether there is an outside world anymore or not. Many of the plot devices are unconvincing and it seems a lot is assumed of the viewer. This reinforces the feeling that the film has borrowed from elsewhere quite heavily. The dialogue is unobtrusive and the emotionless back-story is used as an excuse not to develop any of the character's personalities so the movie has a hollow feel. A serious exploration of the ideas at hand is rejected in favour of fast-paced action.
The film was directed by Kurt Wimmer and he does a pretty good job from an action point of view but stylistically this is just the Matrix all over again - the plain black or white clothing, a gun in each hand, martial arts posturing, mowing down roomfuls of people. Despite being derivative, the fight scenes seemed well choreographed and featured some really fast combat.
The acting is decent but the characters are so two-dimensional that it can't have been too challenging. The film builds to a predictable kind of conclusion and left me feeling unsatisfied. A moderately entertaining action flick with virtually no original ideas. As the screen fades it will already be gently seeping from your mind.

Tuscany Road Trip Spring 2016 –
A Wonderful Holiday in Beautiful Tuscany
In May we spent a beautiful week in Tuscany. Ingo, Bino and myself had a wonderful road trip and I totally fell in love with Tuscany. I hadn't been there before and was amazed by the many different faces this part of Italy showed us.
We spent some time in the region of Chianti, drove on to Florence and then further South to Dimora Santa Margherita where we had a few days to relax and do nothing. You can read about the Dimora, which is also a beautiful spot for an intimate Destination Wedding, here in a previous blog post…
Tuscany offers so much that we are already thinking about when we can come back – next time with two dogs – and I am secretly crossing my fingers to be allowed to photograph a destination wedding in Tuscany one day =)
Here is the video of our trip and some images…:
These days with my two favourites were amazingly beautiful and gave me so much energy…I was totally ready for my wedding season after this holiday! And as it turned out this holiday was in hindsight even more needed, because after our return we picked up little 8 week old Lana and had very little sleep and many puppy screams for the following nights…

Matt Di Angelo has warned that he does not want to receive "sympathy votes" from Strictly Come Dancing viewers.
The actor admitted that he may be seen as the underdog when he goes head-to-head with bookies' favourite Alesha Dixon tonight, but insisted that he only wants to get support for dancing well.
"I don't want to be thought of as an underdog," Matt told The Sun. "I want people to vote for our performance, not just give us a sympathy vote."
However, Matt, who received a perfect score of 40 from the judges for his waltz last weekend, insisted that he has not given up hope of winning the dance contest.
"I picked out Alesha to make the final from the beginning," he said. "I think she's a fantastic dancer. I didn't think we had a chance of winning - but now who knows!"

Carports don't just protect your car from rainfall, sun and other adverse components; they enhance the way your house looks. So if you want to make the particular outer look of your home actually special you need to get a really special carport. A carport that goes with your home can add aesthetic beauty to your house and serve as the perfect way to shield your car. Building a home is just not an easy task and often expenses go beyond what you had planned. Somewhere across the line, you will have to make modifications and compromises so that your house can be completed. If you are considering getting an attached garage area, it is going to put a heavy cost on your budget.
Since you are usually spending a huge amount of money to purchase an automobile, it is necessary that you develop something strong and durable to protect this. If you feel that getting a good attached garage is not going to meet your needs, then the next probable selection will be a carport. If you curently have a garage that will suit only one car, then you can purchase a carport to accommodate a second automobile. If you don't want to park this in a public garage or even leave it out under the sun, then it is a good idea to build the carport on your compound on your own grounds.
The New York Mets implemented green building codes whenever building Citi Field yet a late edition skipped the boat when it comes to developing a green roof. Roof best gardens and green rooftops do not call for grass. Lawn is a water waster and address the solution for a roofing top garden.
Not all varieties of buildings or vehicles secure during thunderstorms. Buildings that are NOT SAFE (even if they happen to be "grounded") have exposed opportunities. These include beach shacks, metallic sheds, picnic shelters/pavilions, carports, and baseball dugouts. Porches are dangerous as well.
These are useful for the purpose of working on a project. It provides one a personal space to concentrate on work and keep their particular equipments where no one will certainly disturb them. These mainly have locks to keep almost everything secure. These are mostly integrated backyards as they are not designed to attract much attention using so many companies coming up plus offering them in such appealing designs one does not need to cover it anymore.
You can even use a carport for various other needs that you may have. A carport can be a great way to cover an outdoor area to protect this room from the sun. You will have a tone covered place to spend your time even if it is very warm outdoors. You will discover a great size that can help you to definitely cover a patio space properly.
To provide pest birds a surprising reception, you might try the particular Electric-Track bird deterrents getting marketed. Birds land upon these and get a moderate electric shock that persuades them to move on. Ideal for little and large pest wild birds, some electric tracks have a low-profile design that's hardly visible from the ground. The particular tracks usually get their "juice" from an AC phone chrgr or solar charger.
10) The portable garage, can even make for any convenient place for immediately guests to sleep. Certain it is not a four celebrity hotel but when you need space portable carports can really help away.

Six weeks ago in Toronto, several thousand young women and their allies gathered to see the woman who has inspired women and men around the world to dream the impossible. On behalf of G(irls)20, an organization that works to build leadership and networks for young women, I had the honour to spend the morning listening to Michelle Obama in a funny, candid and, of course, inspiring conversation about the mark she's leaving on this world. She was invited to Toronto by Rhiannon Traill, CEO at the Economic Club of Canada – a feminist icon to reckon with! – who moderated the event and fearlessly asked tough questions.
Michelle Obama laid out seven truths for women who want to dream big, work hard, and change the communities they come from for the better. As I enter into 2018 with a full plate and an ambitious agenda, I'm struck by how the lessons I learned are, really, resolutions. In 2018, I'm pledging to seven New Years Resolutions (a.k.a. Michelle Obama's roadmap for living your best life). Want to join me?
1) Don't make yourself small because others are afraid to be big
Michelle didn't get to where she is today by being apologetic or quiet. There are people who will hold us back, who will expect us to apologize for daring to dream big. Sometimes it can suck us into imposter syndrome, into not going for a job or putting our hand up. To be leaders who will affect real change, we will be so much happier and more effective when surrounded by a network of support. In 2018 I'm taking this piece of advice to heart and grounding myself in an inspiring and supportive network, so we can all create change, together.
2) Use social media as a platform… not your diary
Don't type the first thought that pops into your head! Michelle talked about this in jest (while throwing some shade at the new administration)– but then reaffirmed just how important it is. It's difficult to straddle the line on social media between "authentic" and "oversharing". Her advice was to tweet-by-committee – that is, run your posts by a few others before you commit to having them out there, in the universe, for eternity!
3) Don't forget where you came from
At G(irls)20, we strive to provide opportunities for young women, from global experiences to board placements to participating in government consultations. We support young women to grow into inspiring leaders, who make the communities they come from stronger and more resilient. When starting out in law, Michelle could look out the window of her office, look across the river to her home in the Chicago's south side. As we, as leaders, count our successes – career wins, media hits, pay raises – we must remember that for any woman to be successful, we all must be successful. That starts with remembering where we come from and who we serve.
4) Spend time with your girlfriends
What does Michelle do in her spare time? Hang out with her girlfriends, she says! Our girlfriends keep things light. They understand us and ground us. They are there when things get heavy and there to cheer us on when things go well. Let's be honest: being a leader can be isolating. We're busy, we're travelling, we don't have time to go out for dinner. Michelle reminded me that we need to find time. Do errands together. Work out together. Like the rest of us, Michelle told us she wouldn't be successful without having her girlfriends around to veg out and be real with.
5) Commit to education: our greatest tool to reduce inequality
Girls education unlocks economic, political and social security for entire countries. It is the most pressing and urgent issue of our generation. This issue is not the 'trend' of the decade – it's a human right we all must keep fighting for, as it intersects with the different kinds of work we do. Michelle reminded us of the urgent need to keep fighting for girls education around the world. At home, this means pushing for additional educational opportunities for young women to shine. A commitment to education will guide my approach to programming at G(irls)20 in 2018.
6) Hold your role models to account
Michelle was asked who she would most like to have dinner with, alive or dead. She told us Jesus: she'd get him in a room and ask him, tongue-in-cheek, if he's pleased with the way things are going (in reference to the ugly politics and escalating climate change we faced in 2017) I was reminded that our relationships with our role models, coaches and mentors is a two-way street. Our roads to success are paved with the mentorship of more established women. On our journey, we have a responsibility to keep each other humble and honest.
7) No more worshipping heroes
Too many of us buy into the belief that we just need one hero, because we're hero worshippers, she reminded us. This final lesson resonated so strongly with who I believe I am as a leader – and with the work we do at G(irls)20 to build capacity. She was asked the question we're all dying to know: can we expect "Michelle 2020" bumper stickers any time soon? No, and her reasoning was clear. She shared what she has learned in politics in the last decade: that change doesn't come from one person. Michelle and Barack are stepping back to support a new generation of community leaders to effect change on local councils, school boards, non-profits and social movements across the country. Change happens from the bottom up. At G(irls)20 and through my work with young leaders I have seen that so powerfully. I can't wait to dive into a new year guided by that truth.

You would of thought there wasn't too many variations on the traditional rhubarb jam recipe. However, food bloggers know better and there are loads of exciting recipes to try out. A search of the web reveals some of the many different creative ideas that are out there.
Officially the season for rhubarb is over but if you have any left or have late developing plants then these ideas will be of interest to you. As you know, jams are a great way of preserving fruit through the cooler months. You can make a straightforward jam if you want but how about mixing up the flavours?
Lets take a look at what you can do with these fab rhubarb jam recipes…
Rhubarb & ginger jam – BBC Goodfood
This delicious jam is a perfect late winter pick-me-up combining seasonal forced rhubarb with health-boosting ginger.
Rhubarb & vanilla jam – BBC Goodfood
Homemade jam doesn't have to be just a summer treat with this sweet-sharp seasonal recipe.
Rhubarb-Strawberry Jam Recipe – David Lebovitz
Even though strawberries are the classic accompaniment with rhubarb, I find more assertive berries, like raspberries, to be better. I used a mix of many this time around, with black and red currants, raspberries, blackberries, and diced strawberries, just because I had some on hand. So use whatever you wish, and frozen berries work just as well.
Blueberry and Rhubarb Jam – The Old Farmer's Almanac
If you or your neighbor has a rhubarb patch, you may be hard pressed to make use of an abundant crop. Don't overlook its possibilities in preserves. Rhubarb adds a pleasant tartness to this jam, and the blueberries provide color and texture.
Vegan Paleo Balsamic Raspberry Rhubarb Jam {refined Sugar-free} – Unconventional Baker
Here's a simple vegan paleo balsamic raspberry rhubarb jam recipe that my friend has been bugging me to share on the blog. It's our favorite homemade jam recipe, and I just love making it because it's so simple, wholesome, and also because wild raspberries and rhubarb grow in abundance on our farm and this jam is a lovely way to enjoy those two ingredients together!

University of Limerick Students' Union's war of words with editor over paper's future
Seamus Toomey, outgoing editor of University of Limerick's newspaper An Focal, said he wanted to step down due to the "workload and my obviously deteriorating mental health" Picture: Michael Cowhey
A BITTER war of words has erupted between the University of Limerick Students' Union and the campus newspaper, after a decision was made to change An Focal to a monthly publication.
A spokesperson for ULSU said that the decision was made in response to "the particular experience" it had with its outgoing editor Seamus Toomey, who held the position since August.
It said that the quality of the bi-weekly campus paper "deteriorated considerably in terms of layout, spelling, grammar, use of colour and overall design", and that there were issues with distribution.
The Union's statement came after it claimed that its general manager Martin Ryan "was not given the right of reply" in relation to two recently-published comment pieces, entitled "Editor's farewell" and "The SU are changing An Focal: Here's why that's bad".
In an e-mail to Mr Toomey, seen by this newspaper, Mr Ryan said that there were "mistruths and inaccuracies" in these articles.
Asked what these "mistruths" were, the SU spokesperson said that the "editor goes into detail about why a monthly paper doesn't work and mentions how a shift to online would be better".
Mr Toomey told the Leader that he received "angry e-mails" from Mr Ryan after the publication, as "I had not given him the right of reply and he and others were irritated by the content in the paper".
He added: "These e-mails were sent to myself and their staff members who I shared an office and workplace with, and that caused me great anxiety for my last two weeks there."
He said that he had wanted to leave his position due to the "workload and my obviously deteriorating mental health".
ULSU said that Mr Toomey did not raise these concerns with the general manager.
Mr Toomey said that while his time as editor "was far from perfect, there was plenty of good about the paper", adding that layout and design issues were "almost all resolved after the first issue".
ULSU said that it received "a lot of complaints from students about the quality of the newspaper and how it had dropped in standards from previous years". It said that "this caused us concern".
It said that the decision to change An Focal to a monthly issue "was never about cost", and that it had hiked its expenditure on the paper over the past two years.
It said that they had discussed the possibility of "paying more for an experienced editor" who would focus more online and create "more opportunities" for contributions from students.
Mr Toomey, a UL BA Journalism & New Media graduate, said that it "came as a shock to hear about the changes which I was informed about in one short e-mail on the day of the content deadline for the last edition of this semester".
He claimed that "no one from An Focal was involved in the discussion or made aware of the proposals being brought forward".
ULSU said that its staff and sabbatical officers "have never tried to push change under the radar.
"At all times this past semester we consulted with elected students of Executive and Council. The student reps of Council made the recommendation to put the focus on the online An Focal articles."
Mr Toomey "highly contests that I had done any reputational damage to the paper".
In a two-page statement, the outgoing editor concluded: "The last two weeks have been a low point in a job I was already not happy in, and at this stage, all I want is to put this behind me."
ULSU president Jack Shelly, ULSU democracy development manager Liz Gabbett and Mr Toomey took part in an hour-long discussion on campus radio ULFM on December 1.
Ms Gabbett said that they are working with the UL School of Journalism on the future of the publication.
Meanwhile, UL Head of Journalism Mary Dundon has urged ULSU to reconsider its move to turn An Focal into a monthly newspaper.
"This would totally eliminate its value as a newspaper because all the stories would be too dated by the time they were published. This move would turn An Focal into a magazine, rather than the campaigning student newspaper that was its original remit.
"An Focal has provided a very good training ground for our journalism students in giving them an outlet to develop their news writing skills and building up a portfolio of stories. I would urge the Students Union to reconsider this move."
The Students' Union has advertised for the role of editor of An Focal online and print, and have received at least nine applications as of December 1.

Leaving Cert Diary: I can't wait to kick back when it's all over
RUGBY fanatic George McGovern is primed for the Leaving Cert and will share the experiences of the most important weeks of his young life with Herald readers.
George (18) from Blackrock College said goodbye to his classmates last week, and has been operating a well planned study timetable over the past week.
"I start tomorrow and finish on June 22 -- my subjects are all tied together whereas other people get theirs with gaps. This is just the way mine worked out.
"I've been getting up pretty early this week, at 8.30am every morning, and starting study at 9.30am. I'd study for an hour and take a 10-minute break, and continue on like that until lunch.
"It's been difficult enough to study with the warm weather, but I've tried to get a bit of sunshine by reading outside."
George studies design and communication graphics, a subject which was introduced to the Leaving Certificate programme two years ago, which means it's hard to rely on past exams papers for tips.
"It's a new course they released two years ago so there's no much to compare it to or there's no pattern to look at in the exam papers.
"It's tough but it's the subject I like the most and it's a start up to being an architect, which is what I want to do."
While George has set his sights on architecture in UCD, he has included other business options as well on his CAO form.
"I have commerce and other business courses like Business, Economics, Political Science and Sociology, and Human Resources management. But architecture is my main aim -- you can travel anywhere with it."
George works for Assets Commercial in his spare time, and also is a rugby fanatic.
"I played rugby for Blackrock college during the year and I play for Greystones rugby club as well.
"I've been in Blackrock College since fifth form and so it was strange to leave. I've gotten to know everyone and we had our graduation and dinner, and we went out for the last time a few weeks ago."
And while his focus is now firmly on learning any exam material he can, he is also looking forward to jetting off to Majorca with his friends when the exams finish.
"I think the timing of the Leaving Certificate is really well laid out so I'm not worried about that. I'm just worried about whether I know enough or not, because there's so much to learn.
"But on June 26, myself and my friends will be heading to Majorc so hopefully we'll kick back then."

I have just bought a smoker with a heatermeter 4.2 fitted and one of the probes seems to be reading very high.
I have checked probe 1 and 3 and they are about right and have calibrated and offset using boiling water as a reference.
However probe 2 is reading 360°F, is there something wrong or should I just use a huge offset?

By the way in case you have not read the page about .mOdMoDwOrM I recommend you to do so for understanding better what is now coming.
The m@dpr'a'prozessor creates input data or worm files for moDMoDwOrM, because it hardly can do without that. Its purpose is thus to define how the input data should be processed so that it can be best processed by mOdMoDwOrM. Don't ask me why I have not called it worm creator what it obviously is.
Suppose we want to write a brainfuck interpreter for moDMoDwOrM, but it can not process the brainfuck input because it is no valid worm , Iworm , worm file or whatever, in the same way hieroglyphs are much likely not understood by your neighbour next door.
So right now some m@dpr'a'prozessor code for the processing of brainfuck.
order + symbol [ [ symbol ] ] symbol < < symbol > > symbol + + symbol - - symbol . . symbol , , length c end
So what does this all mean. The first line means that the order of the brainfuck instructions should be preserved, because that is required for a useful execution of the program. They symbol lines are of importance, because they define what symbols are in the source file and to which moDMoDwOrM symbols they should be translated. It is possible to translate more than one different source file symbols to one moDMoDwOrM symbol.
A source file symbol can be more than one characters long. Thus following would be a valid line of m@dpr'a'prozessor code.
symbol end q
By the way I can also explain the first line a bit further. The command order must come first and have one of the following parameters + or -. - means that the order of the symbols should be completly ignored and only there quantity of appearance be counted. The order command can appear more than once in a m@dpr'a'prozessor file, but there should be dealed later with it.
The length c line means that c should contain the number of symbols counted int the source file. (More later)
The end command obviously marks the end of the file and must only occur only once in the file.
So how is the worm created.
The brainfuck source file
Every occurence of > is marked with 1 , every non-occurence with 0 and the same with all other symbols.
Thus [ 0001000 ] 0000100 < 0010000 > 1000000 + 0100000 - 0000010 . 0000001 , 0000000
Obviously those are binary numbers which are converted to decimal. However its better we turn them so that 0000100 gets 0010000.
Thus we get
and finally [8]16<4>1+2-32.64
So that should be almost the worm file. Remember the length c line. Since we had seven symbols in this sample we just add c7 and thus should get
[8]16<4>1+2-32.64c7 II
By replacing order + with order - we should get
[]<>+-.c7 II

Article Contents
The involuntary Kegels or contractions of pelvic floor muscles are not bad at all. In fact, it is a bad thing if it is totally eliminated. The involuntary contractions of this muscle group served a particular purpose of helping achieve ejaculations or orgasms and allow urine to pass through the urethra with ease.
When it comes to balancing the pelvic floor muscles does not necessarily mean eliminating the involuntary contractions entirely. Instead, train the muscles to a point wherein involuntary contractions do not occur to a point in which it is not supposed to occur, or uncontrollable occurrence leading to early ejaculations. In times when it occurs, it should be easy to control, or otherwise just let it be to unload.
Pelvic floor unbalance when there is too much tension in the muscles causing uncontrollable Kegels or contraction resulting to premature ejaculation; on the other hand, when weakness is present it can result in a complete lack of involuntary contraction resulting to delayed ejaculation.
Signs Of An Unbalanced Pelvic Floor
- Premature ejaculation due to too much tension build-up.
- Delayed ejaculation due to weak pelvic floor muscles.
- Poor erection quality(EQ) due to unbalanced pelvic floor muscles.
- Some reported incidents on loss of sexual drive due to either too much or not enough contractions.
- Experiencing difficulty in urination and ejaculation.
- Experiencing pain and if this happens, do consult a urologist or doctor.
- Hard flaccid penis state.
Signs Of Of A Balanced Pelvic Floor
- Maintain a good natural neutral state
- No uncontrollable contraction occurrences during self-stimulation
- Having the ability to fully control involuntary kegels such as easily suppressing or letting it be to unload.
- Having the ability to last longer performances in bed.
- Having the ability to achieve high erection quality.
- Good sex drive
- Ejaculate and urinate effortlessly
- Feels no pain or hard flaccid penis state
Balancing The Pelvic Floor Muscles
To achieve balance within the pelvic floor muscles, it requires some effort to perform the exercises. The exercises are not difficult to perform, although there might be some resistance to perform it especially for beginners.
If that is the case, be persistent on performing the exercises as it is the only way to achieve the desired results. Probably, the most popular exercise to train the pelvic floor muscles is Kegel exercises.
The instability or imbalance within the pelvic floor muscles does not directly imply the muscles are too tensed or weak as it is also specific to a particular area of the pelvic floor. Kegel exercises are the way to go to correct the imbalance.
Pelvic Floor Exercises
Tennis Ball Pelvic Massage
Aside from Kegel and pelvic floor exercises, stretching the pelvic floor muscles directly using a tennis ball is another effective option. This method also allows the muscles to relaxed and achieve quick results.
However, one session may not be enough. As with any other exercises, the long-term benefits can be achieved through regular exercise until results are desirable.
Keep in mind, the tennis ball method is both a massage and stretch treatment. This method can produce more effective results if used in combination Kegel and Reverse Kegel exercises as before and after stretch.
The recommended time of the routine is 10 minutes a day. However, if pain or discomfort occurs during the exercise, stop it immediately and double check to make sure the pressure is applied to the right area.
Here are the steps;
- Step 1 – Put a tennis ball on the floor or a chair.
- Step 2 – Sit gently on the tennis ball touching the anus.
- Step 3 – Gently sit on a tennis ball making sure it is contact with the anus.
- Step 4 – Slowly move the body allowing the tennis ball to roll and massage the pelvic floor muscles between the scrotum and anus area.
- Step 5 – Adjust the pressure by grabbing right and left sides of the chair or lift with the body off the floor until the perfect pressure is achieved.
- Step 6 – When done correctly, muscles will get relaxed and muscle contractions are popping.
- Step 7 – Focus on putting pressure on pelvic floor muscles and avoid applying pressure outside of it such as the perineum.
Doing Yoga
There are certain Yoga poses that are helpful in releasing tensions and training the pelvic floor muscles. Please check Yoga poses for premature ejaculation that have been covered previously. These are also known as pelvic stretches.
Final Thoughts
Having a strong yet balanced pelvic floor muscles can lead to lots of benefits including avoiding premature ejaculation, which is very common on majority of men. In fact, a lot men simply accept it as normal, but in reality they can certainly do something about it in order to overcome it. As mentioned, Kegels is one of the useful exercises that can strengthen pelvic floor muscles and a link above on how to perform Kegel exercises is provided.
Moreover, a well-developed pelvic floor muscles can lead to better erections, better orgasms, and farther shoot during release of semen; of course, if you prefer to do it outside. Otherwise, it won't be visible if you release it inside, but still a more intense sensation of orgasms is very noticeable. And, the more intense the orgasm, the better the sexual experience and satisfaction.
Balancing and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles is not difficult to do. So, take a few minutes of your day and dedicate it to performing the exercises mentioned. Of course, with the exception of Yoga, which you may need a professional instruction if you prefer and might need you to attend a class in which can take more of your time. However, think of the benefits it offered… it might be worth the hassle going through it. You might not be get used to it. You can do it at home also, just take a Yoga instructional video, or you can visit YouTube and search for basic Yoga that is easy to follow.

The BMW Group has implemented a software called ETK or electronic parts catalog (EPC). This software is intended for official dealers in order to facilitate a process or parts selection for its end users who are needed to repair their cars. BMW ETK allows so select right parts by its OEM number or by providing a VIN number (last seven digits are needed). BMW updates ETK on regular basis once a month.
ETK contains photos and diagrams. The main workflow is to choose a model and country of origin in order to get correct information by service mans. Despite ETK is normally installed on a desktop platform (only Windows OS are supported at the moment), BMW has recently allowed to its customers to use an online version of this catalog. However, customers are obliged to register. The online version is not that bad, but it is not as convenient as offline one.
Many features are not available. Fortunately, fans and enthusiasts of the brand have created community version of the catalog. In my opinion, one of the best examples is http://www.etk.cc. It has unique graphic interface and designed to search parts as fast as possible. Moreover, it has a special feature to filter parts by car options, which is not even present in desktop ETK. Most popular case is searching a specific part by VIN number. VIN number contains all needed info: model, year, type, options. http://www.etk.cc can help car owners to decode VIN numbers and show a lot of information about a car.
The information on VIN can be exported to a pdf file or saved as html page. Without any doubts, this online service is quite useful for those both professionals and fans who desire to repair or extend vehicle configuration.
When a car reaches a certain age, owners inevitably come across more and more problems, with many waiting until the dreaded M.O.T until facing up to their mechanical woes. There's always been a debate around the pros and cons of replacing parts before they have a chance to break, and in this guide we look at the arguments around the prevention vs cure debate.
Preventing issues with your car generally involves replacing parts before they have a chance to break; whilst a mechanic can advise you as to when they think a part may break, they won't be able to tell you with total surety. This means that you may be replacing parts and having work undertaken too soon.
Corrective maintenance… is it a false economy?
Whilst taking corrective measures can be a much lower initial price than having a part (or parts, as the case may be) replaced, you need to consider how long it will hold up for. You may additionally find that your correction 'goes' at the worst time possible, and breaking down may cause even more damage to your engine. However, for many, corrective measures are the only way to, as they may find the price is far lower than preventive measures.
At Cpacarparts.co.uk we understand that the key to preventing mechanical problems for as long as possible is to ensure that you undertake maintenance that will lengthen the life of your car. Try following these tips to keep your car in tip top order.
Regularly change your oil; aim for every three months,
Check your wheels on a weekly basis, and use a proper measuring device rather than a coin; as well as this you should ensure that they are properly inflated, use a supermarket's automated tyre pump to check the pressure before you fill them up, Always check your water levels, particularly in the summer,
Try not to scrimp on petrol: buy premium and don't let your car run low too often,
Keep your engine coolant topped up; not ensuring that this is at a correct level can be a disaster for your car; over heating can cause catastrophic engine failure,
Regularly clean your windscreen wipers and replace them when needed. The windscreens are an often overlooked item during car maintained; however having a windscreen wiper fly off when you're going at 60, or not being able to see in torrential conditions can be nothing short of fatal.
Keep your car clean – particularly you're windscreen. This becomes ever more important if you live in a particularly dusty place, or by the sea.
So it's decided… whilst preventative measures are far more economical in the long run, sometimes corrective maintenance has to used as somewhat of a make do. Be sure to follow our regular car maintenance tips if you want to keep your car in as good a condition as possible, for as log as possible.

Punches make great arm exercises in the pool. They can also make effective aerobic workouts if performed rapidly for longer time. However, combining punches with upper body twisting adds a lot to the exercise.
While the main focus is arm muscles, this exercise also targets your core, and increases your flexibility. It's highly recommended to perform with aqua dumbbells or any other resistance.
Crossbody Punches
Alternate Arm Side Push&Pull
Starting Position:
In the shallow-end, bend your front leg to put your shoulders under the water. Hold the aqua dumbbells with two hands and spread your arms to the side, aligned with your shoulders and parallel to the bottom of the pool. Face your palms downwards.
