Tip & How-To about Kenmore 24032\24036 Top Load Washer
This advice is for Kenmore & Whirlpool TOP
LOADING washing machines equipped with a DIRECT-DRIVE type transmission.
This is NOT for older models equipped with a wig-wag transmission that are BELT
driven. Read the instructions thoroughly BEFORE attempting. This is
a simple repair that can be accomplished easily if you follow the steps
1. Unplug washing machine.
2. Remove console. This can be accomplished in one of two ways depending on which type of console you have.
a. If the console has removable end caps, the caps lift off by prying on the top from the back of the washer. The cap will pull off towards you as you are facing the unit from the front of the washer. There will be a screw under each end cap that you will need to remove.
b. If the console does not have removable end caps, you will need to slide a putty knife under the front corner of each side and push in while lifting up. There is a retaining clip under each side that has to be released.
3. Once the console has been released it will lift up and fold back over the back of the washer in its resting position. Use care not to stress the small plastic hinges that hold it on. They can break easily.
4. Under the console will be two large brass colored clips. Take a large flat blade screwdriver and place it in the groove of the clip on the washer top. With the screwdriver firmly in the groove, push away from you towards the back of the washer. This will release the clips.
5. Disconnect the lid switch connector plug. This is the white colored plug on the washer top under the console.
6. Remove the washer casing. Open the lid of the washer. Using one hand, grip under the front rim of the washer opening. Do not grab the wash tub, just the casing. Tilt the washer case from the back first towards you, slide forward slightly, and then lift up. The entire case comes off exposing the wash tub and components.
7. Locate the water pump. It is a small plastic pump with two hoses connected to it, directly under the front of the wash tub. It is advisable at this point to drain the residual water from the wash tub. This will save you a lot of clean up time later. Here's a helpful HINT: If you own a wet/dry shop vac, remove the drain hose from the standpipe at the wall. Connect the shop vac to the end of the drain line and pull a vacuum on it. This will quickly drain the residual water and leave you with little to no mess. If you do not own a shop vac, remove the lower hose from the pump and place a pan or a bunch of old towels under it & allow to drain.
8. Remove the water pump by removing the two retaining clips. The front of the clip pops off with a gentle pry of a screwdriver, while the back is in a keyed slot. Once released from the pump, turn the clip to remove from the slot. Pull the pump off the motor shaft and remove both hoses. HINT: This is a good time to inspect the drain lines for any debris that may have gotten lodged in the lines.
9. Install new water pump. You may have to rotate the motor shaft slightly to get the slot on the water pump to line up correctly on the motor shaft. Make sure you re-install the retaining clips correctly. Insert the keyed end first, then turn and snap them in place over the pump.
10. Re-install washer case. With the lid of the washer open, place grasp case under front rim and place it on the washer frame. While looking down through the washer lid opening, make sure the front lip of the case is placed UNDER the washer frame and rocked back onto the frame to ensure that the small cleats on the frame fit into the slotted grooves on the washer case base. If you do not get the case seated correctly it will rattle and vibrate while the washer is in operation.
11. Make the back of the washer fits into the washer casing on each side and reinsert the brass clips. Place the clip into the slot on the back of the washer first, and then forcefully push it into the opening on top of the washer. It will snap back into to place.
12. REINSTALL LID SWITCH CONNECTOR. It is easy to forget. If you do not reconnect it, the washer will not work correctly.
13. Reinstall console.
NOTE: This water pump IS NOT serviceable. Meaning, it does not come apart. You can, at times, manage to dislodge items that have become stuck in the pump by slowly rotating the shaft backwards (with the pump removed from the washer) while pulling the object free. Sometimes this works, but sometimes the seal becomes damaged. Panty hose, underwear and the under wire from bras are notorious for getting stuck in these pumps. HINT: It is STRONGLY recommended that you use small nylon garment bags while washing some of your smaller items like this.
I know it seems like a lot, but it is an easy process if you take your time and follow the steps as written. A new washer pump should cost about $40.

MITCalc for Solid Edge, Pinned Couplings (EP05)
Decin, Czech Republic, 20.09.2005
MITCalc engineering calculations have been extended with a new module and connected to the Solid Edge CAD system.
MITCalc for Solid Edge
It is a standalone installation. In addition to "MITCalc" calculations, it includes the appropriate parametric models and an interface between Excel and the Solid Edge CAD system (ver. 15, 16, 17). In addition to individual parts, the link of MITCalc for Solid Edge and the Solid Edge CAD system makes it possible to also input groups of parts (subassembly) into assembly. For example, it is possible to input a complete belt gear solution at once; it is fully associative and the dimensions of the inserted part (subassembly) change according to the changes in calculation parameters.
Pinned Couplings (Extension Pack EP05)
The calculation is intended for the geometric design and strength check of couplings using pins and clevis pins. The program is used to solve the following tasks: design of pin for spring attachment, design of couplings with securing pins, design of cross pin in rod and sleeve, design of radial pin for shaft-hub connection, design of longitudinal pin for shaft-hub connection, design of clevis pin for rotating rod-clevis connection, strength check of designed couplings. The program includes dimensional tables for pins and clevis pins according to ANSI, ISO, DIN, BS, JIS and CSN and support of 2D CAD systems.
Extension pack EP05 and MITCalc for Solid Edge is available for download here.
About MITCalc
MITCalc is a multi-language mechanical and technical calculation package. It includes solutions for gear, belt and chain drives, bearings, springs, bearings, beam, shaft, bolt connection, shaft connection, tolerances and many other mechanical parts. The calculations are compatible with most types of 2D and 3D CAD systems (AutoCAD®, AutoCAD LT®, IntelliCAD®, Ashlar Graphite®, TurboCAD®, Autodesk Inventor®, SolidWorks®, Solid Edge®, Pro/ENGINEER®...) , support both Imperial and Metric units, and are processed according to ANSI, ISO, DIN, BS, Japanese and other common standards.

Petrol, known as gas or gasoline in the United States, (TV: Dead of Night, The Gathering, Hell Bent) was a fuel used for cars. It could be found at petrol stations.
Lack of petrol could cause a car to stop functioning, as it did with Lady Jennifer Buckingham's ambulance. (TV: The War Games) Having diesel in a petrol engine was equally disastrous; the Tenth Doctor used this as an example to explain how an alternate universe was bad for his TARDIS. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen)
Petrol was highly flammable; it was used by Canton Delaware to burn the Eleventh Doctor's Tesselecta body on a boat on Lake Silencio. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut) Explosions could end in "petrol fires". (TV: The Dæmons)
When the Seventh Doctor was reunited with his old car Bessie, his companion Ace asked if it worked on petrol or steam. (TV: Battlefield) Charles Grover had a generator that made tea in his basement that ran on petrol. (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs)
Rose Tyler compared charging a TARDIS using the Cardiff Rift to "filling her up with petrol". (TV: Boom Town)
During Miracle Day, CIA members' "gas allowances" were halved; Rex Matheson was way over the limit. (TV: The Gathering)
In 2050, Elizabeth Holub was experimenting with cold fusion to provide a cheaper alternative to producing electricity than petrol or firewood. (PROSE: Fable Fusion)
Alternate realities Edit
In Donna's World, due to the collapse of the UK's economy after London was destroyed by the crash of the Titanic, Britain didn't have much petrol. Due to this, they weren't as affected by the clone feed emitted by the ATMOS as other countries were. (TV: Turn Left)

Cedar does not necessarily need to be protected. In fact, its natural properties provide great resistance to variations in temperatures and humidity, which limits its deterioration and cracking. Over time, cedar will naturally turn to a greyish color.
Nevertheless, if you prefer to preserve your furniture's original appearance, we can apply a variety of coatings and make it practically ageless. When you buy something from Cedtek, expect to be able to pass it along to your grandchildren.
An infinite variety of colors
For our classic colors, such as, cedar, tech, dark-oak and mahogany, we use products that are renowned worldwide, www.sikkens.com. These colored but translucent finishes will never chip off and will guarantee a perfect resistance to a wide array of climates. We apply a first coat of Sikkens Cetol 1 and then two coats of Cetol 23, with sanding in between all coats.
For opaque colors, we apply an oil-based product as a first coat, and then two extra coats of Email-Plastic paint, fortified in polyurethane.
If ever you want a different color than the ones we usually offer, we can also apply the product of your choice for a little extra.
5 year warranty
At Cedtek, the methods used for the coating of your furniture are done in an optimal environment. With wood being kept at a humidity rate of 11 degrees, and with preliminary sanding on all faces, we guarantee that your coating will not chip off for a period of five years, exept for Turitelle color and teak one coat.
You already have outdoor furniture that needs to be refreshed, be it Cedtek furniture, Teak or others, we will be happy to restore them for you, contact us for a quote. In general, the cost for restoration of furniture originally manufactured by Cedtek is the finishing supplement in our price list

Record price for Kilkenny land
Having recently sold a number of high profile parcels of land in the Kilkenny/Carlow area Ed Donohoe of Donohoe Properties produced another record sale price on Friday when Circa 23.5 acres at Bennettsbridge, Co. Kilkenny sold for the record price of €430,000 (€18,300 per acre) . This is an exceptional price for land of this quality. The land which is high quality agricultural land, with some road frontage, is located half a mile from Bennettsbridge and within close proximity to Kilkenny City, is currently laid out in grass and is renowned for its fattening qualities
The auction was very well attended achieved an opening bid, which exceeded the guide price, which was (€12,000 per acre) €300,000. The land was put on the market at €380,000 and after seven more bids the hammer came down at €430,00 to a farmer who has land in the area. Ed Donohoe said "The bidding was brisk and it just goes to show that there is a huge demand for good quality land in the right area". Donohoe Properties were also the agent for another parcel of land (20 acres) at Brownstown, Kilkenny which sold for the guide price of €10,000 per acre the previous Friday.

Mention the name Helmut Brinkmann to an audiophile and the first thing that comes to mind is probably the German designer's superb turntables. But Brinkmann began his audio career more than 35 years ago making amplifiers, and even designed his first DAC way back in 1986 (called the "Zenith"). Now Brinkmann has come full circle with the new Nyquist DAC, a product that is designed and built with the same fanatical attention to detail as the company's turntables. Moreover, the Nyquist is brimming with advanced features, including MQA decoding, high-speed DSD support, Roon-ready operation, UPnP connectivity, and upgradeable digital circuitry. Yet for all its cutting-edge digital prowess, the Nyquist's output stage is built around that most ancient and venerable of audio technologies, the vacuum tube.
The product of a recently expanded digital-design team, the Nyquist is a three-component affair: the DAC itself, the 24-pound granite base on which it rests, and the outboard power supply. In Brinkmann tradition, the granite base isolates the DAC from vibration. Four vacuum tubes are mounted horizontally outside the chassis (two on each side), but encased in large fins that resemble heatsinks. The front panel offers three buttons, two knobs, a headphone jack, and a comprehensive display. The latter indicates the incoming signal's format and sampling frequency, output level, and whether phase inversion has been engaged. The display also shows when the Nyquist is decoding an MQA file. A period after the MQA initialism indicates "MQA Studio" mode—files that have been auditioned and approved, in MQA format, by the artist, producer, or record-company representative. The left knob adjusts the analog output signal's level (limited to a range of 10dB for the line output, but with a full range of level control when the headphone output is engaged), and the right knob selects the digital input. Volume, input select, and phase inversion are available on the supplied remote control. Balanced and unbalanced analog outputs are offered on the rear panel. The Nyquist is supplied with a Brinkmann-designed AC power cord. Brinkmann recommends connecting the AC cord directly to the wall outlet rather than through a power conditioner.
The Nyquist is fully up to date with the latest in streaming technology and connectivity. In addition to decoding any PCM sample rate up to 384kHz, it is DSD compatible all the way up to DSD256 (four times the standard DSD rate). An Ethernet port provides network connectivity, allowing you to stream music from any UPnP (Universal Plug 'n' Play—some wags call it "Universal Plug 'n' Pray") device. Some NAS drives incorporate an integral UPnP server, which obviates the need for a PC or Mac. If you want to use a computer with the Nyquist, you can configure most music-playback software programs to operate as a UPnP server. The Nyquist is a Roon-certified endpoint, allowing you to stream from any Roon core server on the network to the Nyquist via Roon's superb interface. The Nyquist supports Tidal, Deezer, and vTuner Internet Radio.
Brinkmann was one of the first companies to embrace MQA, the format for delivering high-resolution music via streaming services. MQA is much more than a convenient distribution system; the format fundamentally rethinks the entire digital encoding-transmission-decoding chain and employs radically new technology to overcome sonic and technical limitations inherent in traditional digital audio. It's a bit ironic that the DAC is named after Harry Nyquist, the Bell Labs engineer who formulated, in the 1920s, many of the concepts upon which digital audio is based (including the famous "Nyquist Theorem" that states that a digital-encoding system's sample frequency must be at least twice as high as the highest signal frequency to be sampled). I say it's ironic because MQA overthrows some of Nyquist's ideas in favor of a more sophisticated analysis. Fundamental "laws" of digital audio, once thought to be inviolable, have fallen in much the same way that Newtonian physics was upended by quantum mechanics.
Brinkmann is awfully proud of the Nyquist's build-quality judging from the see-through top cover. Indeed, the layout, parts-quality, and design are exemplary—a model of meticulous engineering. The outboard power supply sends regulated DC to the Nyquist where it is further regulated next to the circuits supplied. The digital module alone incorporates 11 separate power-supply regulation stages.
The Nyquist is built around the ESS ES9018S Sabre DAC, one for each channel. Each 9018 DAC incorporates eight separate digital-to-analog converters; their outputs are combined to lower the noise floor, randomize any conversion errors, and create a balanced output signal. Brinkmann uses only the DAC portion of the Sabre chip, ignoring its integral PLL and upsampling digital filters. Rather than use these compromised sub-systems, the Nyquist has a separate Brinkmann-designed PLL and re-clocking circuit to reduce jitter. The clock is said to have very low phase noise, and is located right next to the DAC chip (the point where jitter matters). Similarly, the digital filter is implemented in a separate DSP chip running Brinkmann's custom filter software. This filter upsamples all incoming PCM data to 352kHz or 384kHz for conversion to analog. Sources at 44.1kHz or multiples of that rate (88.2kHz, 176.4kHz) are upsampled to 352kHz; sources at 48kHz or multiples of that rate (96kHz or 192kHz) are upsampled to 384kHz. This dual-frequency scheme avoids sonically degrading non-integer upsampling. Interestingly, the 3.3V that supplies the ES9018S DAC chip is derived from the 160V rail that supplies the tubes. Brinkmann found that this supply technique improved the sound compared with powering the DAC chip from a conventional supply.
This description is of the signal path when decoding PCM sources. Commendably, the Nyquist features a completely independent signal path and data conversion for DSD signals. Unlike most DACs that convert DSD to PCM, the Nyquist features a dedicated DSD DAC. Moreover, this DAC is fully discrete and of Brinkmann's own design rather than an off-the-shelf chip. The DSD signal path includes a very gentle analog output filter. I've heard only two DSD DACs with a discrete DSD converter (the Nyquist and the T+A PDP 3000 HV) and can say that they are significantly better sounding than chip-based converters.

Don't dillydally here. Let's go awaken the crystals.
The Eschalot is an airship used as a form of transportation in Bravely Default. It serves as the heroes' early form of transportation between the regions. It is capable of flight due to its skystone, but its speed and altitude are limited. The ship can land near beaches or docks, but only if the sea in that area is clear. Its current location will be marked on the player's map by a small green flag. After reaching a certain point in the plot, the Eschalot loses its flight capabilities, though it maintains the ability to sail through the oceans. After obtaining Grandship, the Eschalot ceases to be the main form of transportation. When over water, the Eschalot can be deployed into the seas so long as they are not rotten.
Story[edit | edit source]
The Eschalot was developed by workers in Eternia under the supervision of Alternis Dim. Alternis would be charged with early sailing tests, to determine its readiness, before handing it over to the Eternian Sky Knights for their use. The Sky Knights would use the Eschalot for their operations in Caldisla, but a lack of proper landing sites limited its docking to two sites: a small lake in the southwestern portion of the continent and Lontano Villa, by means of force.
The Eschalot would serve as the site of a fight between the vestal of wind, Agnès Oblige, and her allies and Argent Heinkel, the leader of the Sky Knights. Heinkel took the ship into the air, and before dying, assumed that Agnès's group was doomed because they couldn't fly the airship. However, one of Agnès's allies, the amnesiac Ringabel discovered that he knew how to fly the ship, and managed to steer it to safety.
Agnès and her allies would take the ship for their own uses, using it to travel over the seas to Ancheim, parking it in the only section of ocean that was safe to land in. After awakening the Wind Crystal, they returned to the ship, only to find Alternis Dim there. He would smash the airship's skystone in an attempt to strand the group.
The group would make their way to the next crystal by land. After awakening the Water Crystal, the seas cleared. Thus the Eschalot was able to serve as their way across the seas to the next crystal in Eisenberg. However, the group would be at a standstill when they needed to travel to the final crystal, as Eternia was blocked off by various plateaus and mountain ranges. After sometime, they would revive Grandship as an airship. The Eschalot was stored within Grandship, to be deployed when necessary, as by this time, the heroes had grown attached to it.
Musical themes[edit | edit source]
The theme that plays while flying the airship on the world map is "Ship Racing Across the Ocean".
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The word eschalot, derived from the French word échalote, can also be used to refer to the shallot.

Delaware Divorce Laws
Residency Requirements for Divorce in Delaware
One spouse musthave been a resident for 6 months immediately prior to filing for divorce. The divorce may be filed for in a county where either spouse resides.
[Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapters 1504 and 1507].
Legal Grounds for Divorce in Delaware
- No Fault Divorce:
- Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and reconciliation is improbable [a marriage is considered "irretrievably broken" when it is characterized by 1 of the following:
- voluntary separation
- separation caused by the other spouse's misconduct or mental illness
- separation caused by incompatibility
- Living apart for 6 months because of incompatibility].
[Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapter 1505].
- Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage and reconciliation is improbable [a marriage is considered "irretrievably broken" when it is characterized by 1 of the following:
- General Divorce: Separation caused by mental illness.
[Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapter 1505].
Legal Separation in Delaware
There is no legal provision in Delaware for legal separation.
Simplified/Special Divorce Procedures in Delaware
The respondent may file an appearance which will fulfill the requirement of service of process. In addition, a sample Petition for Divorce is contained in Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapter 1507.
[Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapter 1508].
Divorce Mediation or Counseling Requirements
In a contested divorce, the court may delay the proceedings for 60 days to allow the spouses to seek counseling or order a mediation conference. In addition, there are mediation/arbitration units attached to the Delaware Family Court. Finally, the court may require parents seeking divorce to participate in a certified "parenting education course." If the parent has a history of domestic violence, he or she may be required to attend additional, more intensive courses.
[Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapters 1507 and 1517].
Divorce Property Distribution
Delaware is an "equitable distribution" state. A spouse's separate property is that which is:
- Obtained prior to the marriage
- Obtained by inheritance
- Specified as separate property by an agreement between the spouses
- Property acquired in exchange for separate property or an increase in value of separate property
All separate property is retained by the spouse who owns such property. Marital property acquired during the marriage, including any property acquired by gift, is to be divided equitably, without regard to fault, based on the following factors:
- The contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of the marital property, including the contribution of each spouse as homemaker
- The value of each spouse's personal property
- The economic circumstances of each spouse at the time the division of property is to become effective
- The length of the marriage
- The age and health of the spouses
- The occupation of the spouses
- The amount and sources of income of the spouses
- The vocational skills of the spouses
- The employability of the spouses
- The estate, liabilities, and needs of each spouse and the opportunity of each for further acquisition of capital assets and income
- the federal income tax consequences of the court's division of the property
- Liabilities of the spouses
- Any prior marriage of each spouse
- Whether the property award is instead of or in addition to maintenance
- How and by whom the property was acquired
- Any custodial provisions for the children
[Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapter 1513].
Alimony and Spousal Support
Either spouse may be awarded alimony if he or she:
- Is dependent on the other spouse
- Lacks sufficient property, including any award or marital property, to provide for his or her reasonable needs
- Is unable to support himself or herself through appropriate employment or is the custodian of a child whose condition or circumstances make it appropriate that he or she not be required to seek employment
Either spouse may be awarded alimony for no longer than a a period of time equal to 50% of the length of the marriage. There is, however, no time limit if the marriage lasted for over 20 years.
Marital misconduct is not a factor to be considered in an award or alimony. The factors to be considered are:
- The time necessary to acquire sufficient education and training to enable the spouse to find appropriate employment and that spouse's future earning capacity
- The standard of living established during the marriage
- The duration of the marriage
- The ability of the spouse from whom support is sought to meet his or her needs while meeting those of the spouse seeking support
- The financial resources of the spouse seeking alimony, including marital property apportioned to such spouse and such spouse's ability to meet his or her needs independently
- The tax consequences to each spouse
- The age of the spouses
- The physical and emotional conditions of the spouses
- Any custodial and child support responsibilities
- Whether either spouse has foregone or postponed economic, education, or other employment opportunities during the course of the marriage
- Any other factor that the court finds just and appropriate
Any party awarded alimony has a duty to make an effort to seek vocational training and employment unless the court finds that it would be inequitable to require this because of:
- A severe physical or mental disability
- His or her age
- The needs of any children living with the spouse receiving alimony
Unless the spouses agree otherwise, alimony is terminated upon death, remarriage, or cohabitation with another person.
[Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapter 1512].
Spouse's Name After Divorce
Upon request, the wife may resume her former or maiden name.
[Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapter 1514].
Child Custody After Divorce
Joint or sole child custody is awarded based on the best interests of the child and after considering the following factors:
- Preference of the child
- The wishes of the parents
- The child's adjustment to his or her home, school, and community
- The mental and physical health of all individuals involved
- The relationship of the child with parents, siblings, and other significant family members
- The past and present compliance by both parents with the duty to support the child
The conduct of the proposed guardian is to be considered only as it bears on his or her relationship with the child. No preference is to be given because of parent's sex.
In addition, in any case involving minor children, the petitioning parent must submit with the petition an signed affidavit that states that the parent has been advised of or has read the following list of children's rights. The list of rights must be included in the affidavit. The children's rights are:
- The right to a continuing relationship with both parents
- The right to be treated as an important human being, with unique feelings, ideas, and desires
- The right to continuing care and guidance from both parents
- The right to know and appreciate what is good in each parent without 1 parent degrading the other
- The right to express love, affection, and respect for each parent without having to stifle that love because of disapproval by the other parent
- The right to know that the parents' decision to divorce was not the responsibility of the child
- The right not to be a source of argument between the parents
- The right to honest answers to questions about the changing family relationships
- The right to be able to experience regular and consistent contact with both parents and the right to know the reason for any cancellation of time or change of plans
- The right to have a relaxed, secure relationship with both parents without being placed in a position to manipulate 1 parent against the other
[Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapters 722 and 1507].
Child Support After Divorce
Each parent has an equal duty to support any children. The following factors are considered in awards of child support:
- The financial resources of the child
- The standard of living the child would have enjoyed if there had been no divorce
- The age and health of the parents
- The earning capacity of each parent
- The amount and sources of income of each parent
- The age, health, or station of the child
- the estate and needs of the child
- The relative financial means of the parents
[Delaware Code Annotated; Title 13, Chapters 501, 514, and 701].

Police Boss Orders Mental and Drunkenness Tests for Lagos Policemen
The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, AIG Abdulmajid Ali, has ordered that mental test should be carried out on policemen in the command,
A statement by Zone 2 Command Spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi said that Ali made this known during an educative session for officers and men of the zonal command at Onikan, Lagos.
Adejobi said the AIG also ordered drunkenness test on all personnel of the command to "avoid any accidental discharge or extrajudicial killing".
The police boss reiterated his zero tolerance for corruption, excessive use of force, dirtiness, incivility to the public, drunkenness and unethical conducts that can damage the image of the Nigeria Police Force.
He seized the opportunity to challenge policemen to read and imbibe the spirit of love to all and sundry they come in contact with.
The AIG mandated the police medical unit to carry out drunkenness and mental checks on men (particularly those on operations) of the command to avoid any accidental discharge of extrajudicial killings.
Adejobi said the session was meant to impart principles of modern policing and injecting learning and reading culture towards having people-oriented policemen.
The health management teams from the Police Medical Department and selected health institutions later lectured policemen on the need for regular checkups to avoid sudden deaths.

It's funny what can happen when you throw around industry jargon assuming everyone is familiar with only to find that they are not, in fact, familiar. I've written here before about trying to phase out my usage of the terms "middle grade" and "young adult" in store signage and handselling. These phrases tend to be heard as "middle school" and "young adult" (as opposed to 12 years old and up) by anyone not in the book business. And what's the point of holding on to a phrase that doesn't communicate what we intend it to?
On a related note, a funny thing happened at the neighborhood ice cream parlor last week. I've been running an after-school pop-up there which has, so far, been met with frequent delight and only occasional confusion. One of these occasions involved a very sweet elderly lady who came up to me as I was setting up for the afternoon. Setting up involves moving a fairly hefty sales counter — on wheels, thankfully —180 degrees so that the open side with shelves of books is on display to the room. As I was slowly spinning the purple behemoth that is Spellbound's pop-up bookshop, this exchange happened.
Sweet Elderly Lady: I just have to ask. What is this?
Me: A pop-up bookshop!
SEL: A puppet shop?
Me: No, a pop-up book shop [gesturing at books now that they're visible].
SEL: So you do puppet shows about the books?
Me: No, "pop-up," not "puppet."
SEL: Oh… so these are all pop-up books?
Also Me: We have all kinds of books, but the shop just sort of pops up for part of the day. Or in different places, sometimes. That's why it's called a "pop-up."
We finally achieved understanding, but our conversation remained firmly rooted in puppetry. This darling woman had been a drama teacher for years (long since retired) and had loved getting the kids involved in puppet shows and told me all about it. It was a lovely conversation, all in all, and now I'm strongly considering a second career as a puppeteer.

Joao is a 32 year old man from Portugal. Joao was found rough sleeping in Westminster by our Outreach team in November 2013 and at their suggestion he began using our Resource Centre the following day.
Joao explained that though originally from Portugal, he had been living in the USA for 10 years. Having lost his job, he found himself excluded from American welfare and returned to Europe. Staying initially in a B and B, Joao quickly ran out of money and was forced onto the street. Joao was keen to work either in Construction, Catering or Office work.
To begin with, we helped Joao apply for benefits in order to stabilise his situation. He then began to write a new CV, applied for a British bank account and study for his CSCS card. Throughout this period Marco diligently looked for work and attended coaching sessions regularly both with ourselves and the Jobcentre Plus outreach service which is based in our centre 4 days a week.
Despite our best efforts Joao wasn't getting beyond the interview stage due to his recent lack of construction experience and no experience within Britain.
Through The Passage's partnership with Land Securities, an opportunity came up. Joao was initially sceptical about it because it didn't lead to paid employment straight away. After talking it through, he decided it would be a worthwhile experience that might get him over the last hurdle of not have a relevant recent construction track record.
Thanks to the course and Land Securities' support, Joao has now got a job in construction and is even about to gain a further set of skills around brick laying.

I agree Sharon! As a family rights advocate, every day we see there is an ongoing problem of the state harvesting our children as a cash crop in blatant violation of the Indian Child Welfare Act, federal and state law. They are accountable to no one. I am so grateful for Hawkeye and the others that had the courage to speak out on the law enforcement issue on Rosebud as well. I have long wondered why there has been no federal investigation or why the BIA does nothing...oh yeah, Cleveland Her Many Horses the Chief of Police's brother is head of BIA....so it goes on the rez.
PLEASE read 'The New Jim Crow, Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness' by Michelle Alexander. PRISON is the new Jim Crow. they just lock up all the undesirables, ethnic groups, poor and mentally ill to rid society of them. Very SAD!!!
This was a good and needed article. Please follow up. Also, a story on the 3rd type of genocide of American Indians would be great. This would be the stealing of native children and then putting them in "white" families trying to make them think they were white. I know, I was one of the "stolen" kids at age 3 days old. This was going on very heavy from the 1950's to 1970's.
I t did not work.

Chesapeake Outdoors by C. D. Dollar
Rolling on the River
Between Route 40 and I-95 runs a tree-lined stretch of the Gunpowder River that, when water levels are right, can reach Class III rapids. These rapids have names like Pots Rock, Fault Line and S-Turn. Thats one of the cool things about whitewater paddling: The names of the rapids all have some significance and, invariably, local legend and lore is associated with the moniker.
Dave Cola, a skilled paddler, got it into his head that he could teach me to roll a whitewater boat fairly easily. The boy must have banged his noggin one too many times on a river rock, because Im not sure he understood the breadth of that commitment. But since hes spent endless hours on regional hotspots like the Cheat and Gauley rivers, I was game.
Ive done a good deal of sea kayaking, but that has about as much in common with whitewater kayaking as fly fishing for brook trout does with fly casting to tuna. Sure the tools look similar, but the process and methods are worlds apart.
Dave walked me through the techniques of a roll. When he did it, he easily resurfaced, like a river otter goofing off. I looked like a barge.
In a roll, you are basically underwater for at least five seconds while the river pounds through your eardrums. The nose clip, which I looked upon with contempt at first, quickly became my favorite accessory. The trick to getting back upright, as near as I could figure, was to punch your arms skyward through the water while snapping your thighs and pelvis in such a violent manner that even the young Elvis would blush.
Good coaching from Dave made the difference, and soon I began to get the hang of it. Whether I can do it solo, with whitewater beating me down, is another story.
One of the things I think I like best about whitewater paddlers is that they revere the water they run. The ones Ive talked to have a great respect for its sheer undiluted power, and they are keenly aware that its momentous force can, and will, punish the reckless and careless if homage is not paid. My kind of water.
Fish Are Biting
The buffet of Bay species is now open to Chesapeake anglers: big spot, croaker, white perch, rockfish and flounder top the list. There are even black and red drum hereabouts, and some blues to five pounds have shown up around Drum Point. Chuck from Kent Island recently caught five species, including a 22-inch flounder, in an evening venture using peeler crab. He was fishing shell bottom between Parsons Island and Kent Point.
Capt. Mark Galasso of Tuna the Tide charter fishing has been doing well chumming for rockfish above the Bay Bridge.
Crabbing has slowed way down since a relatively nice run a few weeks ago. Many reports of algae blooms and subsequent fish kills are becoming commonplace, a sure sign of bad water due to nitrogen pollution.

How to Replace a Ball Joint on a Chevy S-10by Don Bowman
Worn ball joints on a Chevy S-10 cause alignment problems resulting in rapid uneven tire wear as well as banging noises when encountering rough surfaces. Severely worn ball joints can separate from their socket, which would result in total loss of steering. By raising each tire off the ground about 3 inches and prying up from underneath the tire, a worn ball joint can be detected by the free-play experienced when lifted.
Step 1
Raise and support the side of the vehicle that the service is to be performed on using a jack stand. Remove the wheel with the lug wrench. Extract the two bolts in the brake caliper using the ½-inch-drive ratchet and a socket. Remove the caliper and hang it from the spring (leave the brake hose connected).
Step 2
Remove the cotter pin from the tie-rod end and the lower ball joint using the wire cutters. Remove the nut on the tie-rod end with a wrench. Remove the tie-rod end from the spindle with the use of the tie-rod separator tool.
Step 3
Move the floor jack under the lower control arm and raise it until it begins to raise the vehicle. Remove the nut on the upper ball joint and loosen the lower ball joint nut, but do not remove it. A wrench works well on both of these.
Step 4
Separate the lower ball joint from the lower control arm by lifting the upper control arm by hand as high as it will go. Finish removing the lower ball joint nut and lift the spindle off the ball joint and move the spindle to the rear of the wheel well.
Step 5
Remove the lower ball joint by straightening the stud so that it stands straight up and hitting it hard with a hammer. The ball joint will fall out of the bottom of the control arm.
Step 6
Screw the grease fitting in the new ball joint using a wrench. Install the new ball joint up through the bottom of the lower control arm and tap it with a hammer gently to line it up so that it will be pressed in perfectly straight.
Step 7
Press the ball joint in the lower control arm using the ball joint installer kit. Make sure the joint is completely in before removing the installer. Put the rubber grease seal over the ball joint stud.
Line up the spindle on the lower ball joint so that the stud on the ball joint sticks through the hole in the spindle. Grab the upper control arm and push the upper ball joint stud through the upper hole in the spindle. Put the nuts on both the upper and lower ball joints and tighten. Install new cotter pins using the wire cutters. Grease the lower ball joint. Replace the rest of the parts in reverse order of removal.
Items you will need
- Floor jack
- Jack stands
- Lug wrench
- Ball joint installation kit
- Tie-rod separator tool
- Hammer
- Wire cutter
- Set of wrenches
- ½-inch drive ratchet
- Set of ½-inch drive sockets
- Grease gun

Four weeks into a total knee replacement, "It's still early," the doctor says when I complain about the pain. "The TKA can take a year." And the pain had absconded with the muse – until the other day, when a local art association asked if I'd write a poem after a photograph of a rainy morning by area photographer, Brooke Foti. I was so moved by the painting that I did write, and ended up with the first viable draft of a poem since my surgery. That eased the pain. http://johnlstanizzi.com/
Headless Body in Topless Bar
Headline in the New York Post
You misunderstood the sign
and thought that you'd finally found a place
where no one would judge you
by the plateau that ran from shoulder to shoulder
and buttoned across
the same way you'd button down your shirt.
Surely lots of the folks in this topless bar
must button across the runway of their shoulders
the same as you,
without the pressure of worrying
about mascara and lipstick,
or the brittle little hairs
sprouting from their nostrils and ears.
But no worry here about making things up
off the top of your head,
or listening to people's inane blather
flying in one ear and out the other,
no more feelings of inadequacy
about not being able to flap your lips
or pick your nose,
no irrational concern about your shortsightedness.
No. You'd just be another headless patron
standing around oblivious and content,
missing the rumping, thumping hip-hop,
the loud, boring chatter,
the games of deception and manipulation
among the few brazen patrons
who were not headless.
As far as you knew
everyone here was in the same
proverbial boat as you,
looking for a nice safe place to rest,
surrounded by your own kind,
where insults to the body and to the mind
didn't ever happen,
and everything just rolled easily
right off your shoulders.
-from a manuscript in progress called Sundowning
Cry to Me
for Greg Willett
St. Mary's School
East Hartford, Connecticut
We walked through some heartache in '62.
Gary liked Teresa but Teresa
asked Elizabeth to tell Peter that
she really wanted to go out with him
but Peter had been making out with Jane
in the theater, celebrating their
one month anniversary, so that was
out, and even though Jane broke up with Pete,
Peter kept asking Gail to talk to Jane
which Gail wouldn't do because she'd told
Brenda that she thought that Peter was cute
but Brenda wasn't listening to a word,
wrapped up in lonely teardrops shed for Greg.
The waters of 8th grade were never still.
So Jah Seh
"So Jah seh
Fear not for mighty dread,
'Cause I'll be there at your side."
-Bob Marley
for John "Terry" Ryan
July 12, 1946-July 4, 2015
Terry would joke that hanging out with me
was just as good as being all alone.
And I agreed. We could sit for minutes
neither of us saying a single thing.
I always took that kind of ease to mean
that we were comfortable enough to
not find it necessary to speak a
word, some small talk used to break the awkward
silence. That's just it; the silence wasn't
awkward. It was as easy as being
all alone, looking out at the vast hills,
not even acknowledging their presence,
but knowing they were there, and that they'd be
there, your loyal friends waiting by your side
The two sonnets are from a manuscript in progress called Hallelujah Time! – Volume II.

James Bailey commented on James Bailey's calendar event in Radio Shows
untilNo, haven't heard of them, but thanks for the heads-up, will try to check it out soon. Yeah, the Zavaloka thing was quite a (re)discovery. It was in a brown paper envelope with some generic sticker on the front. I have no idea how I got it or when, or even if I listened to it whenever that was. Nice glitchy electronics, and a haunting but beautiful voice.

James Bailey posted a calendar event in Radio ShowsuntilThis is my current weekly programme. It's not entirely electronic, and some weeks may not have any at all, but it's part of the name, so has a large representation. Unfortunately, it is only an hour, so longer pieces rarely get heard, but I try to when I can. Everything from classic studio type works to current high-tech wonders, though I tend to steer away from overly beat-driven or "pop" sounding tracks. http://www.ciut.fm/shows-2/music-shows/electric-sense/
James Bailey - Little Bag o' Loops
James Bailey posted an album in ExperimentalThis was originally released in 2004 as a run of ten 3" CDs each in a case with the artwork seen here plus notes, and enclosed in a small cloth bag. Another forty or so were made a few years later, until I ran out of bags, which were no longer available. Most were given to friends as presents or exchanges, but a few were actually sold in stores! All of the pieces were created using a tape delay arrangement whereby two open-reel decks are situated side-by-side, with the tape running through the head mechanisms of both machines. The left (feed) deck is used to record an incoming signal which then passes along to the right (take-up) deck which plays back into the feed deck. The third piece is a monophonic signal, necessitated by the playback machine. The other two pieces are stereophonic, with the channels of the return signal swapped, so that sound seems to "ping-pong" from one side to the other. Due to the nature of the tape medium, the signals decay and fade gradually over successive generations.

James Bailey - Dimensions
James Bailey posted an album in ElectroacousticSounds like a bag of hammers falling down a long metal staircase, or a drop of rain on your cheek. James Bailey mostly lived in the east end of Toronto, except for four years in England as a wee child. He's been making noises with whatever was available for most of his life, with only a few (failed) attempts at formal training on any sort of "real" instrument. He started recording things after the acquisition of a good-quality open-reel recorder in 1973 (Tandberg 3341X). Most acoustic sound sources are found objects either played as is or modified into something resembling an instrument, though he usually refer to the things as "implements."

Dunnedin Ventures increases till sampling in search of Nunavut diamondsAugust 31st, 2016
by Greg Klein | August 31, 2016
With a goal nearly 10 times the size of last year's program, Dunnedin Ventures TSXV:DVI has a greatly expanded campaign of till sampling underway at its Kahuna project in Nunavut. The company hopes to process this year's samples in time to guide a winter program on the 13,000-hectare property near Hudson Bay's northwestern shore.
Using techniques pioneered by Dunnedin adviser Chuck Fipke, last year's program "identified several new targets consistent with our known diamond-bearing kimberlites, including both dyke and pipe targets, and extensions to known diamond-bearing kimberlites," said CEO Chris Taylor. "We anticipate that this summer's 1,000-sample program will define additional targets and will allow us to accurately prioritize sites for upcoming drilling and bulk sampling."
This field program should cost around $350,000, a relatively low budget due to the proximity of the hamlets of Rankin Inlet and Chesterfield Inlet.
The company also keeps busy with diamond recoveries from samples taken last year at the project's Notch, PST and Kahuna kimberlites. Previous recoveries showed 96 commercial-sized diamonds from PST and another 36 from a Notch sample that was about 40% processed.
In addition Dunnedin has last year's till samples under evaluation for gold potential.
Having held a series of community meetings recommended by the Nunavut Impact Review Board, Dunnedin plans to submit a revised project proposal to the NIRB. The company currently holds permits to work on federally controlled lands into 2017 and on Inuit-controlled lands into 2018.
Earlier this month Dunnedin appointed two strategic advisers, John Robins and Jim Paterson. Robins' history with Kahuna dates to early last decade when he founded the company that held the original tenure. He brings to Dunnedin access to a proprietary database of historic results. Robins has been involved in a number of mergers and acquisitions including Goldcorp's (TSX:G) takeover of Kaminak Gold, where he served as executive chairperson. He remains a director with other companies including Kivalliq Energy TSXV:KIV.
A former director of Kaminak, Paterson serves as CEO/director of Kivalliq, which holds the Angilak uranium deposit in the same region as Kahuna. During his 19 years of experience he's acted as an executive or director of companies that raised over $175 million.
In early August Dunnedin offered a private placement of $1.3 million.
A January 2015 estimate showed inferred resources for the Kahuna and Notch kimberlites, 12 kilometres apart:
- Kahuna (+0.85 mm cutoff): 3.06 million tonnes averaging 1.04 carats per tonne for 3.19 million carats
- (+1.18 mm cutoff): 0.8 ct/t for 2.45 million carats
- Notch (+0.85 mm cutoff): 921,000 tonnes averaging 0.9 ct/t for 829,000 carats
- (+1.18 mm cutoff): 0.83 ct/t for 765,000 carats
- Total (+0.85 mm cutoff): 3.99 million tonnes averaging 1.01 ct/t for 4.02 million carats
- (+1.18 mm cutoff): 0.81 ct/t for 3.22 million carats
Both dykes remain open along strike and at depth.

{Image is a photo of Becky lying on top of Brooke on our old massage chair. They are both laughing uncontrollably.}
Last night, repeating a well-trodden script, Brooke said, "Your friend, K gets seizures sometimes."
"Yes, honey," I said, "she does."
"Just like mi amiga, L," she added.
"Yep," I said, "just like L."
"Who else gets seizures?" she asked.
"Well," I began.
"C does!" she said.
"C?" I asked.
"Yeah, C" she said.
I never cease to be amazed by this kid's memory. C is a friend of mine's daughter. Brooke met her twice and hasn't seen her in probably eight years. But yeah, she has epilepsy too.
"And just … like … ME!" she added gleefully.
"Yes, baby," I said. "Just like you."
While epilepsy ain't a club of which anyone would want to be a part (and Brooke is NOT a fan of seizures), the fact that it IS a club makes it, in Brooke's mind, okay. Knowing that she isn't the only one, that someone else out there shares her experience, means everything to her. And so, she constantly makes a rundown of everyone she knows — or knows of — with whom she has this commonality. It's reassuring. She finds it comforting, and, ultimately, empowering to know that she isn't alone.
I was talking to a mom recently who raised a question about her autistic son's friendships. Ever since a recent move to a specialized school, she said, his friends are mostly kids with similar disabilities. He's happier than she's ever seen him, she said. His language has exploded. His joy, she said, is back. But what about balance? she asked. What about making sure that he has enough 'typical' friends?
I get it. I get why she's asking. I get it because I lived it. Because some ten years ago I sat across from a specialist at Brooke's preschool and believed that what she was saying had to be true.
"So, now that we have some strategies in place for facilitating play for Brooke at home," I'd said, "we'd really like to try to come up with some play dates for her."
"That's a great idea," she answered brightly.
"So we were hoping to get your feedback on who might be a good fit for her. We were thinking about starting with Lizzie. They seem to have so much fun together."
"Oh," she said. Her face fell. Bubbly and smiling turned to quiet and concerned. After an awkward pause, he haltingly continued, obviously measuring her words.
"It's just that well .. they aren't exactly .. um .. I'm not sure how to say this. They're not really such good influences on one another."
She said 'influences' as one would say cancer. But ya know, contagious.
I pictured Brooke and Lizzie, doing what they did every time they saw each other.
They had this silly script they'd fallen into. We called it doing the 'Doh Kas.' They would jump up and down and say "Doh Ka!" together again and again. It had meaning to no one but them. It was their thing. Two little girls who thrived on knowing what to expect had come to know exactly what to expect from one another. It just wasn't what's expected by the rest of the world. So it wasn't okay. They were encouraging each other to 'act autistic.'
"Oh," I said, deflated. "I guess that makes sense."
We were all so focused on giving Brooke the tools to interact 'typically' that I accepted the logic.
For a while.
It was a year or two later that we sat in Brooke's neuropsych's office lamenting her increasing isolation.
"I just ..," I began haltingly. "God, I just know how desperate she is to connect with people, Dreamy. I see it every day. She tries so damn hard to reach out. I just want her to have a friend. Just one damn friend."
He handed me the tissues that he always keeps handy for our visits, then looked at Luau and me thoughtfully.
"Have you sought out any other children on the spectrum for her to spend time with?" he asked. "I would imagine that she would find some sense of connection in those relationships."
His words opened the door.
Eight years later, my daughter has not 'one friend' nor even two. She has friends enough to throw small parties and to meet up with at the park. And while she does have an outer circle of very sweet neurotypical school friends, her entire inner circle, all of the people with whom she is truly close – the ones who reciprocate invitations, who seek her out, with whom she spends time outside of school, are either on the spectrum or are similarly different.
They are kids with whom she has commonality, with whom she finds comfort. Kids who expect the unexpected, who innately understand each other's quirks, who seamlessly respect and prioritize each other's needs. Kids who see themselves in each other in some way, no matter how different their individual differences may be from one another's. Yeah, that was a rough sentence, but I mean it exactly as I wrote it. Sorry.
You want to give your autistic kid balance between their relationships with neurotypical and autistic people? Unless you live in a world vastly different than the one I inhabit, it's probably not going to happen. Why? Because even if ALL of their friends are like them, the scales are still completely lopsided.
In our family of four, Brooke is autistic and the other three of us aren't. Outside our walls, if the current statistics are to be believed, approximately 1 in every 66 people is autistic. I'm not great at math, but I'm thinking that would imply that when she's standing in a room full of 132 people, odds are only ONE other person there shares her neurology. (And given how many autistic folks are still segregated in many ways from mainstream society, that person might not even be there.)
Her life is spent dealing with people who not only see and hear and taste and feel and process the world differently from her, but who believe that they are seeing and tasting and feeling and processing the world 'correctly' and she's not. Imagine the relief of being in a place where that's no longer, at least for the moment, true.
The question that was raised to us, and that we in turn raised to ourselves, was, "Well, if you want her to be able to have 'normal' (yeah, that was the word) relationships as she grows up, doesn't she have to learn how to interact 'normally'?" The implication being, of course, that to interact 'normally,' at least one of the parties involved must be 'normal.'
For a brief time, I thought that, as hurtful as it may have been, the answer was necessarily yes. I was very, very wrong.
My girl is not anyone else's version of normal; she is extraordinary. Therefore, she does not have, nor will she ever have, anyone else's version of 'normal' relationships. She has and will always have extraordinary ones.
Childhood – every childhood – is spent learning how to interact with other people. Every relationship we have is a practice run for the next one. We learn how to be a friend, how to share, how to console, how to listen, how to encourage, how to defend, how to draw boundaries, how to support, how to respect, how to deliver apologies and how to accept them, how to gently offer critical suggestions and how to hear them in return. Everyone we meet gives us the opportunity to hone these skills. In total, it's a scary, messy, hard process. Made infinitely harder when the people involved are likely to ridicule you just for trying.
So why on earth would we discourage our neurodivergent kids from starting that process with the people with whom they are most comfortable, most free, most understood? Why not let them begin to build those skills in a place that feels safe? In a place where their language is accepted, their perspective not 'wrong,' a place where being their happy, flappy, spinny, stimmy, challenged, tenacious, beautiful, messy, three-dimensional selves is not just welcomed, but EXPECTED?
Let them build their skill set THERE. Let them learn how to be a friend THERE.
I have had the privilege of being invited into autistic spaces. They have been wondrous, welcoming, inclusive places. They exist for our kids. And more and more of them will exist as our kids grow up and find each other in myriad way as they build on the foundations painstakingly laid by those before them. They will have each other to lean on. They will have their own spaces from which to draw strength and solidarity.
And when they walk out into their every day lives, populated, as they so often are, by people who see the world differently than they do, they can draw comfort — and empowerment — in knowing that they are not alone. That no matter how tough it may be to so often be the only one in the room, there are other people out there who know exactly how that feels.
Balance ain't gonna happen, friends. But extraordinary – well, that just might.

Spectacular Views Expected To Generate Interest At CALA's Latest Development
Friday, October 2nd, 2015
on behalf of CALA Homes
CALA Homes (East) is gearing up for the official launch of its newest Edinburgh hotspot this Saturday (10th October) offering buyers breath-taking views across the Capital and just a short commute to the city centre.
The luxury homes developer is set to launch the first phase of its highly anticipated Liberton Grange development this weekend, offering a selection of spacious three, four and five bedroom homes.
Situated on the grounds of the former Scottish Water Treatment Works, the brownfield development boasts an elevated position with enviable views across the city towards Arthur's Seat, The Crags and onto the Firth of Forth.
New owners could be set to move in early 2016 to the first of the 92 new properties being created just off Liberton Gardens in Edinburgh.
The properties offer spacious layouts and light-filled interiors. Each home at Liberton Grange has been designed with flexible family living in mind, with open plan kitchen / family areas, stunning formal lounges and generous bedrooms – many with en-suites and built in wardrobes.
Following on from the huge success of CALA's Fairmilehead development, the launch is expected to generate huge interest with the wide variety of properties and an easy commute into Edinburgh City Centre likely to appeal to professionals and downsizers as well as large and growing families.
With top class golf courses and hill-walks only minutes from the door but still only just five miles south of the city centre, CALA's latest prime location offers a fantastic lifestyle package of convenience, luxury and healthy outdoor living.
Buyers will also benefit from a selection of local shops within walking distance, rapid transport links on their doorstep and, with the bypass less than two miles away, Liberton Grange is also ideal for those looking to commute in and out of the city.
Sarah Stanger, Sales and Marketing Director at CALA Homes (East), is encouraging house-hunters to move quickly in order to secure one of the exclusive properties.
She said: "We are delighted to be launching the Liberton Grange development and we believe the mix of first class location and luxury design will draw buyers in immediately.
"Liberton is a fantastically positioned suburb with everything a home-owner needs right on their doorstep, but it's the lifestyle and views that really separate it from the rest as it offers instant access to some of the most stunning scenery in the city, fabulous walks and top class golf courses.
"It is the perfect choice for those who are working in the centre of the Capital during the day, but who wish to exchange this for a sense of tranquillity in the evenings and weekends.
"We are encouraging house hunters to register their interest with us
now as the development is already proving to be extremely popular."
Liberton Grange will offer a wide selection of spacious three, four and five bedroom properties – with a selection of apartments also being released at a later date – and is set to be an exciting addition to the CALA collection. The sales centre, which will offer off-plan purchasing, is due to open 10th October 2015, with the first residents set to move in from March 2016.
House hunters looking for more information are being encouraged to call 01324 600 000 or visit the official website:

Environmental Justice
The Middle East is characterized by high income economies relying on energy exports, and middle to low income economies with limited resources for export. Both developmental models tend to neglect sustainability - but pollution, climate change and loss of natural resources already are rampant and will effect future generations even more drastically. Pushing for sustainable development is also a question of justice: between current and future generations, but also between those who have the means to isolate themselves from the negative repercussions of unsustainable practices, and those who have to bear the brunt of it. The program Environmental Justice puts special emphasis on the issues of climate change and renewable energies, on the access to public resources, and the right to sustainable agriculture and a just international trade regime.

It's very easy to give advice, but hard to do it well. So whether you're advising a colleague or a student, here's some tips on how to make sure it sticks.
Many years ago, as an undergraduate, I took a class in diplomacy from Madeleine Albright, long before she became secretary of state. I was a quiet student working my way through a big project – a mock political negotiation in which class members played various world leaders. It was an exercise requiring far more self-assurance than I had at the time. It was particularly hard given my natural reticence.
Partway through the class, all of that changed. Professor Albright spoke to me privately and said directly: "You should speak up; you have good things to say." It was a revelation. This simple piece of advice gave me a new sense of confidence in myself and my voice.
The substance of the advice may seem unremarkable but the way she did it – the personal touch, the timing, and her obvious sincerity – gave it real power.
Now, whether working with a newly promoted member of our firm or advising a highly accomplished CEO through a series of interviews for a board seat, I am reminded almost daily that it's easy to give advice but really hard to do it well.
At almost every point in your career, you will be called upon to offer advice – to peers, to students, to the people you manage, and sometimes to the people who manage you. Here are some things you can do in those professional settings to help make sure your advice sticks:
Know the difference between advice and criticism
Advice is meant to be helpful; criticism is often meant to wound. An arrogant, critical professor might have told me that I was too timid for diplomatic negotiations.
You know you're being critical rather than helpful if you start the conversation this way: "Look, I hate to say this, but it's for your own good…"
Hold the sandwich
Don't put the advice between two slices of praise, opening with a compliment, slipping in some counsel, and wrapping it up with a final good word. I've seen that approach many times over the years and I think it blunts the message.
Keep advice short, to the point, and meaningful. And focus on how the person can leverage their strengths to deal with the issue—give him or her a tool and something really useful rather than just drop a "bomb" and walk away.
Give advice in real time
Offer your counsel as close as possible to the events that call for it, making it more contextual, powerful, and meaningful.
It's better, for example, to talk to a young partner who was unprepared and distracted in a meeting just after the meeting wraps up—sharing your thoughts right away. Further, you will create the expectation of constant feedback, so that such coaching becomes part of the natural rhythm of your management style.
Make the advice actionable
Vague advice can be worse than no advice. Unless advice is accompanied by a suggestion of something the listener can actually do, it's likely to cause anxiety.
If you tell someone that they need to "up their game" or "get with the program," they will come away knowing only that their performance is lacking in some way. And having no idea what to do about it, they may spend many unproductive hours pursuing the wrong remedies or simply worrying.
Draw on what has worked for others
Coaching highly accomplished CEOs and other seasoned executives through interviews can be a delicate challenge. Many of them haven't interviewed for anything in years and, understandably, they prefer to trust their own judgement.
To help make sure my advice is meaningful and helpful, I often describe what has made other candidates successful in similar situations, in that particular industry and with their particular skill sets, and I have shared specific interview strategies. Stories about best practices and the experience of others can be a powerful means of cutting through resistance to advice, offering narratives that the hearer can relate to.
Deliver the advice in person
If you genuinely wish what's best for the recipient, that authenticity will come through powerfully in the nuances of your voice, your body language, and your responsiveness.
That's what Madeleine Albright did so successfully. She found a moment to share some memorable advice with me – and later left me a personal note with my final grade complimenting me on my participation.
Ever since, I have followed her advice – to speak up. And I still have the note with my final grade and her gracious comments. I kept it not because she is famous – she wasn't at that time – but because everything she did conveyed her care for her students and her desire to see them learn and improve. Who wouldn't heed the advice of someone like that?
