Well, sorry, but I really have trouble figuring out what Dave is trying to ask, so I pointed out, yet again, that that whole discourse is framed in terms of khandhas, not in terms of "conventional beings".Ñāṇa wrote:*Sigh* How is any word of that discourse paramattha Mike?mikenz66 wrote:Hi Dave,From my point of view there are hundreds, starting with the second discourse:daverupa wrote: I'd like to see a Sutta with only paramattha language, as pertains to bhavana.

BEIJING — A large swath of China has been gripped for days by what is being called an "airpocalyse," a prolonged spell of the worst air pollution on record in Beijing.
From Beijing to Guiyang, 1,100 miles to the southwest, a thick soup of pollution closed highways, forced the cancellations of flights and sporting activities, and sent countless people to hospitals complaining of respiratory ailments.
The government has repeatedly issued an alert urging people in the affected areas to "avoid outdoor activities and, if they do have to go out, to wear a protective mask."
In Beijing, education authorities ordered schools to cancel gym classes.
As an emergency measure, the Beijing Bureau of Environmental Protection announced Sunday that factories and construction sites had agreed to reduce or stop work until the air clears up.

Travel Tips to Antalya (AYT)
Dating back beyond the 3rd century B.C., Antalya is a city as beautiful as it is ancient. Nestled between the majestic Beydağları mountain range and the crystal-clear Gulf of Antalya, the city is a historical marvel and a beach resort paradise.
Best Things to Do in Antalya
- Bask in Antalya's picturesque landscape and warm, sunny climate on one of the region's many golden beaches
- Pass through Hadrian's Gate, a triumphal arch commemorating the visit of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 130 A.D.
- Relive a moment in history with tickets to Antalya's ancient theater of Aspendos, originally built to accommodate over 20,000 spectators. Renovated in the early 20th century, this outdoor theater is now home to modern theatrical and musical performances
Discover Antalya
In addition to being a bustling beach resort town and modern historical marvel, Antalya is also an outdoor enthusiast's dream. The gulf and nearby rivers allow for a great variety of water sports, including diving and kayaking, and the mountainous terrain provides an array of hiking trails and even skiing in the winter.
Antalya's Pleasures
The city's many beach resorts are laden with bars and nightclubs that double as discos. Those seeking a quieter evening will enjoy the wide variety of laid-back cafes dotting the coastline.
Plan Your Antalya Holiday
Travelers planning to venture to the city for its beautiful beaches and various outdoor attractions should plan to travel during Antalya's warm and sunny summer season. Flights to Antalya during the cooler winter period will enable travelers to experience the city's historic majesty without the typical tourist crowds. Travelers looking to save some money should consider the cheap hotels in Antalya's Kaleiçi district for an authentic Turkish experience. Also, book your travel plans as far in advance as possible to guarantee the best possible flight deals to Antalya. Fly in comfort with FlyDoha's young airplane fleet.

G2841, Reviewed October 1993
Any defect that affects serviceability is considered an unsoundness. A defect that detracts from appearance but does not impair serviceability is considered a blemish.
Respiration (wind)
Any permanent abnormality in the respiration process is a serious unsoundness.
Vices are habits acquired by some horses that are subjected to long periods of idleness. Hard work and freedom from close confinement are distinct preventives. Correct or prevent them early, before the habits become confirmed, if you expect a high degree of success.
Wind sucking, cribbing, weaving and stall walking horses are hard to keep in condition. And the latter two types are often fatigued when needed.
It is not easy to make an accurate diagnosis of a horse's soundness. Sometimes professional assistance is needed, and whenever possible the horse should be taken on a trial basis for use under conditions to which it will be subjected under new ownership. Some guarantees of soundness are useful. Most horse owners can increase their competence in identifying unsoundnesses and blemishes by practice and by using a system of inspection.
Whenever possible, examine the horse in its stall under natural conditions. Note the manner of tying — it may be a halter puller. If metal covers the manger or feed box, cribbing should be suspected. Look for signs of a strap around the throat latch. Note the arrangement of bedding. If the horse paws, bedding will be piled up near the back feet. Slight lameness may be detected by movement of bedding caused from pointing. Signs of kicking may be noted. Move the horse around and observe signs of slight founder, stiffness, crampiness and stable attitude.
Lead the horse from the stall and observe the eyes closely for normal dilation and color. Test eyesight further by leading it over obstacles, such as bales of hay, immediately after coming out of the stall into brighter light. Back the horse and observe hock action for string halt and crampiness. Stiff shoulders and/or stiff limbs are indicated by a stilted, sluggish stride.
Examine for lameness in motion. Lameness in a front limb is indicated by a nod of the head when weight is placed on the sound limb. The croup drops when weight is shifted from a lame hind limb to a sound one. Splint lameness usually gets worse with exercise, whereas spavin lameness may improve. The horse should be examined when cool, when warmed up, and when cooled off again, at both the walk and trot.
Soundness of wind should be checked under conditions of hard work. Be alert for roaring and heaves or the appearance of a discharge from the nose. Cocked ankles may appear after sharp exercise, and weak fetlocks and knees may tremble.
Make a general examination with the horse at rest. It should not point or shift its weight from one forelimb to the other. Stand directly in front of the horse and observe the eyes for signs of cloudiness, position of the ears for alertness, and scars or indentations indicating diseased teeth. Pay particular attention to the knees, cannons and hoof heads for irregularities.
Move to the side at an oblique angle and note strength of back and coupling, signs of body scars, and shape and cleanness of hocks, cannons, fetlocks and hoof heads. Look for capped hocks, elbows and leg set from a side view. Chin the horse at the withers for an estimation of height. Stand behind the horse and observe symmetry of hips, thighs, gaskins and hocks, and position of the feet. Move to the opposite side and the oblique angle previously described for final visual inspection before handling any part of the horse.
The wall of a good hoof is composed of dense horn of uniform color without any signs of cracks in it or rings around it. The slant of the toe should be about 45 degrees and should correspond with that of the pastern. The heels should be deep and reasonably wide. Pick up each foot and look at the bearing surface. The frog should be full and elastic and help bear weight. The bars should be large and straight. The sole should be arched and should not appear flat as in "dropped sole." Check for "hard heels" or sidebones, ringbone, corns, contracted feet and thrush. If the horse is shod, check for wear on the shoe from contraction and expansion of healthy heels.
Examine the hocks (with care for safety) for swellings, spavins, puffs, curbs or other irregularities, by feeling when necessary.
A thorough examination combined with a week's trial will identify almost any unsoundness or blemish.
Many horses serve faithfully for a lifetime without developing unsoundnesses, vices or bad manners. Such service can come to horse owners only through patience, knowledge and attention to details of the needs of the animal.

text: The Trust Deficit: Views from the Boardroom A report by Populus, commissioned by DLA Piper Rebuilding Trust in Business Series Finance Update Share this 10 OCT 2011 The trust environment continues to change as information and even mis-information becomes more widely available, more quickly to an increasingly diverse range of stakeholders armed with different levels of understanding, expertise and motives. Businesses are therefore seen to need to work harder than ever to protect trust and in an increasingly cynical and sceptical environment explicit demonstrations of why a business or business leader should be trusted are seen as key. This challenge seems to excite rather than daunt senior executives. As trust becomes an ever more scarce commodity, they see its growing value as a way of marking enterprises out from one another and business leaders out from their peers. Business leaders believe that the public and other stakeholder audiences are growing sceptical and cynical about the claims and actions of businesses. As a result, business leaders are increasingly seeking to prove that they are trustworthy via external or independent certification. Senior executives attribute this development to a range of long-term trends but, in part, believe the behaviour of financial institutions has resulted in all large businesses being viewed more critically.

Mining Stock News: SilverCrest (TSX.V: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Discovers Bonanza Grades and New Zone at Santa Elena 15.6m @ 23.9 gpt Au and 307.9 gpt Ag Including 2.3m @ 157.3 gpt Au and 1,610.5 gpt Ag

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - January 7, 2013 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) (CW5.F) (the "Company") is pleased to announce results of further drilling at the Santa Elena Mine in Sonora, Mexico. Eighty seven holes of a planned 100 holes have been completed to re-categorize Indicated and Inferred Resources to Probable Reserves and expand current underground Resources (see attached Figures: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/svl107_F1-2.pdf). This drill program continues to be extremely successful and several recent holes have identified multiple bonanza grade intercepts and a new high grade gold and silver zone that lies below and is sub-parallel to the Main Mineralized Zone currently being mined. All holes included in this program will assist with resource confirmation and reclassification which will be included in the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study for the Santa Elena Expansion Project.
J. Scott Drever, President stated; "We have always been confident that the underground portion of the Santa Elena Main Mineralized Zone would prove to be larger and higher grade than was indicated by the initial drilling and our drilling to date has vindicated that confidence. In an epithermal deposit such as Santa Elena one can always expect narrow widths of high grades but to encounter 15.6 metres grading 23.9 gpt Au (0.69 opt) and 307.9 gpt Ag (9.0 opt) is truly remarkable and the discovery of the new ''El Cholugo Zone" with similar high grades simply adds to the excitement of the increased potential. Our underground decline has progressed beyond 1,050 metres which will enable us to get access to the underground portion of the ore deposit in the next several months."
Core holes SE-12-62, 54, 91, 92, 94, 103, and 106 have all intercepted Bonanza grades of gold, greater than 34 gpt Au and/or silver, greater than 1,000 gpt Ag, ranging from 1.1 metres @ 9.46 gpt Au and 1,700 gpt Ag to 2.3 metres @ 157.3 gpt Au and 1,610.5 gpt Ag (see tables below). Bonanza grade hole SE-12-54 was previously announced (Dec. 4, 2012) with an intercept of 1.0 metre @ 4.94 gpt Au and 1,230 gpt Ag within 30.7 metres @ 1.61 gpt Au and 169.6 gpt Ag.
Holes SE-12-90, 94, 104 and 106 intercepted two mineralized intervals of 10 to 40 metres apart. It is believed that the second interval represents the discovery of a new mineralized zone at Santa Elena with further potential for additional resources. The New Discovery named "El Cholugo Zone" is believed to be related to a sub-parallel cross cutting structure which intersects the Main Mineralized Zone. El Cholugo appears to have minimum dimensions of approximately 150 metres long, 100 metres high and 5 to 14 metres wide. Two other similar structurally-mineralized intersections are known to exist within the open pit and will be explored in due course. Further drilling is underway to help delineate El Cholugo.
Assay values in this series of holes range from 0.21 gpt to 157.3 gpt gold and 20.7 gpt to 1,700.4 gpt silver. Mineralized intervals range from 2 metres to 25.2 metres. All mineralized drill intercepts are near true thicknesses. The most significant assay results in this series of holes are shown in the following tables:
All sample analyses were completed by ALS Chemex in Hermosillo, Mexico and North Vancouver, BC.
Assays for Holes SE-12-49 and SE-12-53 that were pending in the news release dated December 4, 2012 are presented above. Holes SE-12-60, 61, 68 and 69, in the above sequence are either currently being drilled or analyses are pending. Holes 97 to 101 were previously released (November 13, 2012) for Santa Elena NW target area. Hole 76 was lost due to caving.
The Santa Elena Deposit (Main Mineralized Zone) is open along strike and to depth. Core holes SE-12-72, 73, 74 and SE-12-111 have been completed as part of a 15 hole program to test for the possible expansion of resources along strike to the east and to depth beyond the current resource model (see attached Figures: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/svl107_F1-2.pdf). Mineralized intercepts in these four holes are 5 to 10 metres wide with banded quartz and argentite mixed with breccia and disseminated argentite. These intercepts are up to 200 metres beyond the boundary of current resource estimates. An additional 5 to 10 core holes are planned in this area for increased confidence. The Company is compiling results for these holes to determine the extent of expansion potential and will release promptly.
Approximately 30,000 metres of drilling have been completed to date in the program to convert underground resources to reserves and expand total resources. Results for the next series of holes will be released once compilation of results is complete. Three drills are currently on site to complete the in-fill program in January, 2013. Further expansion drilling will be completed in Q1 2013. Revised Santa Elena Resources and Reserves are expected in Q1 2013 with subsequent reporting of the results of Pre-Feasibility Study for the Expansion Plan.

SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX-V: SVL; NYSE MKT: SVLC) is a Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest's flagship property is the 100%-owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 km northeast of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, Mexico. The mine is a high-grade, epithermal gold and silver producer, with an estimated life of mine cash cost of US$8 per ounce of silver equivalent (55:1 Ag:Au). SilverCrest anticipates that the 2,500 tonnes per day facility should recover approximately 4,805,000 ounces of silver and 179,000 ounces of gold over the 6.5 year life of the open pit phase of the Santa Elena Mine. A three year expansion plan is underway to double metals production at the Santa Elena Mine and exploration programs are rapidly advancing the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property in Durango State.

Ontario Census 1861 (FamilySearch Historical Records)
|This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org.
Access the records: Ontario Census 1861 .
Record Description
This census was taken on January 14, 1861 and applied to the residents as of the previous night (January 13, 1861).
Census schedules were taken on large sheets of paper with preprinted rows and columns. They are bound into volumes, arranged by county, then by township and enumeration district.
The Census contains the 1861 census for the province of Ontario. At this time Ontario was not yet part of the Dominion of Canada, but was called Canada West. The census taker took the information on the census day starting January 14, 1861. Census takers were asked to record information about all those who were in each household on the census day. A census taker might have visited a house on a later date, but the information he collected was supposed to be about the people who were in the house on the census day. Enumeration was by census district. Census districts were voting districts, not counties, although most have the same names as counties. For the most part, census districts were synonymous with cities and counties, and sub districts were synonymous with towns, townships, and city wards. Villages, small towns, and parishes were generally enumerated as part of the township in which they were located. Census district and county boundaries were not always the same and there were many variations from location to location.
Canadian census records were taken to enumerate the population for representation, taxation, and other purposes.
The accuracy of the census depended on the knowledge of the informant and the care of the enumerator. Realize that the information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or even by a neighbor. Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified.

Mar 5, 2013
By Sam Flynn
Two College of Business student organizations, CONNECT and OU's Student Equity Management Group (OUSEMG), recently hosted the first 401(K)nowledge financial literacy conference.
The event, held in the Walter Rotunda, was open to all OHIO students. Among the participants was Courtney Click, a sophomore majoring in nursing.
"Growing up without financial security or knowledge led me to seek it out," she said.
The four-hour event was divided into two panels dealing with financial issues facing college students and recent graduates entering the marketplace, such as purchasing houses and cars and saving for retirement. It also included a complimentary lunch with the panelists.
The first panel focused on credit cards, student loans and financing large purchases. Panelists were Anthony Gargano, BBA '12, an associate of Institutional Services with Sequa Financial; Mike Stethem, BBA '12, an energy investment banker with KeyCorp; Rory Driscoll, an energy investment banker at American Federal Savings Bank.
According to the panel, buying a home may now be a better choice than renting, due to low interest rates. It definitely is more complex than renting, Driscoll said.
"Be prepared for the kind of things required, such as all relevant tax forms, latest statements for checking, saving, and investment accounts, letters of explanation for any blemishes on a credit score, two previous pay stubs," he said. "And that's just to start."
In addition to the amount of the loan and the condition of the house, Driscoll advised attendees to consider potential property taxes.
Building a good credit score while still in college is hugely vital to potential future loans, the panel noted. Banks usually prefer a five-year credit history to insure their loans. An easy way to built credit is to get a low-rate credit card and paying it off monthly. Instead of paying one month's rent of $500 with a debit card, students could instead pay with the credit card and then pay the credit card bill immediately. Using other bills to supplement a credit history is another way to build credit.
Gargano counseled attendees to focus on paying nonsubsidized student loans after the six-month grace period ends. The payments are tax deductible.
The second panel focused on personal investing, retirement and insurance. Panelists were Cameron Shank, BBA '12, a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual; Jake Walters, BBA '12, a retirement investment banker with Charles Schwab; Michael Carpenter, BBA '83, a certified financial planner who owns Carpenter & Associates in Athens; and Tim Mackey, founder of Cincinnati's Mackey Financial Group.
The four gave advice on retirement savings and why investing that money is important. Although Shenk and Walters said those wishing to get a head start could set up an individual retirement account, the panel endorsed the 401(k) as the best way available to build a retirement fund. A 401(k) is an employer-provided retirement fund; employee contributions are deducted before taxes and employers may match their investments.
Mackey likened saving to fitting golf balls and sand into a jar. If you put the sand (spend) in first, the golf balls (savings) will not fit. But reverse the order, and the sand will go around the golf balls and the jar can be shut.
Nykki Chihil, a senior studying finance and economics and current president of CONNECT, was extremely proud of the event and its turnout. The group conceived the idea in April 2012 and began planning the event last November. She is already looking forward to next year and improvements that can be made.
"I feel really good about the event and I'm already inspired for changes for next to make it bigger and better," she said.

Historical Note
Robert L. Coe had a distinguished career in broadcasting, at the forefront of developments both in radio, and later, television. Born in 1902, he went on to operate an amateur radio station in Clayton, Mo.starting at age 15for three years from 1917 to 1920. In 1921 he cofounded the first radio station in St. Louis, KSD, which began broadcasting that same year. When the St. Louis Post-Dispatchwhich acquired KSDneeded an assistant manager and chief engineer, Coe's knowledge and experience of what was then a very new technology qualified him for the position; Coe was just 22 years old when the Post-Dispatch promoted him in 1924.
His knowledge and experience of what was then still new technology qualified Coe for positions of increasing importance; first and assistant manager, by 1928 he had become an executive of radio engineering. Coe remained at the Post-Dispatch through the "Roaring" Twenties and the Depression, though he branched out from 1926-1928 working at station KMOX. In 1938, in cooperation with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Coe was the first to attempt radio fascimile transmission of a newspaper.
Coe's experiences during World War II are not less impressive. A lieutenant colonel in the United States Army Air Corps, Coe was sent to Asia, where he built a communications network for the China-Burma-India theatre of the war. For his contribution to the war effort, Coe received medals for his services in the American and Asiatic-Pacific theatres.
Following his discharge in March 1945, Coe returned to KSD in St. Louis. Shortly thereafter, Coe led efforts to promote television, then just emerging as a viable entertainment medium. Convinced of television's potential, Coe founded KSD-TV, a television broadcasting division of KSD in 1947. During this time Coe contributed material to several articles and wrote others; works authored by Coe, and others to which he contributed for a part of the Library's collection.
In 1948, Coe went to WPIX-TV in New York, where he was vice president and manager. Subsequently, in 1952, Coe went on to work for the Dumont television network, followed by two positions with ABC-TV#151;first as a regional manager of station relations, and later as a vice president of station relations.
Coe's reputation for problem-solving and his ability to work with others earned the respect and devotion of his colleagues. This esteem is reflected in the awards and special honors presented to him; such as the award from his colleagues at ABC-TV.
In 1967 Ohio University offered Coe a teaching position as a professor of communications. Despite his long experience in the field, Coe prepared extensive notes for his lectures, providing an in-depth look at the field. Along with his teaching responsibilities, Coe was working on the manuscript for a book, A Saga of American Broadcasting, a history of the broadcasting industry in america#151;drawn from his own experience. Coe taught at the university until 1973, devoting as much time as possible before and after retirement to his manuscript.
However, after 1973, commitments and health problems prevented Coe's ability to complete the book. At his death in 1975, it remained unfinished.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The Robert L. Coe Collection includes biographical materials, radio licenses, correspondence, writings, teaching notes and awards; inclusive dates are from his birth in 1902 to his death in 1975, with some material donated to the Library in 1985 by his wife.
Of special significance in this collection is the unfinished manuscript for the book Coe was writing, A Saga of American Broadcasting, based on his own experiences. However, upon Coe's death, only the first 12 of 20 chapters were completed. A collection of class teaching notes, used by Coe as a professor of Communications at the University of Ohio, follows closely the structure of the manuscript, and is useful in identifying other historical broadcasting details.
Photographs from this collection, housed in the library's photographic archives, provide and interesting glimpse into the early days of American television. A focus of the collection are the early beginnings of WPIX, in New York City, where Coe was vice president and general manager. Included are photos of Coe with Gloria Swanson and Bing Crosby.
Audio recordings associated with Coe, housed in the library's audio holdings, include an interview highlighting his career, as well as a number of broadcasts with which he was associated.
Of related interest is the book written by his wife, Michelle Coe. Entitled How to Write for Television, a copy of this book is in the library's reference library.
Custodial History and Acquisition Information
The Robert L. Coe Collection was donated to the Library of American Broadcasting by Michelle Coe in 1976, and 1985.

Arrangement of Collection
The collection is arranged into three series:
Detailed Description of the Collection
Series 1: Career, 1902-1975 (0.25 linear foot)
Coe started in broadcasting at age 15, in 1917, and spent the next six decades in the field. In such cases it is extremely difficult to draw clear distinctions between an individual's personal and professional life; consequently, the materials relating to important events in Coe's life are integrated chronologically with documentation of important events in his career. Coe's professional activities coincided with significant developments in radio and television, events which Coe himself helped shape the documents and other materials in this series reflect Coe's various contributions to the broadcasting field.
Operator's licenses issued to Coe by the Department of Commerce and the Federal Communications Commission cover the early years of Coe's professional life. Also included in this series are records pertaining to Coe's military service between 1941 and 1945, when he designed a communication system for the China-Burma-India theatre of the war.
Business correspondence between Coe and WPIX-TV, documenting his acceptance of the vice president and manager positions at the television station, relate to events later in Coe's career. A scrapbook is being prepared for microfilming.
Correspondence between Michelle Coe and various acquaintances following her husband's death, many of which pertain to Robert Coe's unfinished manuscript, forms part of this series. Correspondence pertaining to Coe's involvement as a board member of the Broadcast Pioneers Library of American Broadcasting is included in this series.
Artifacts relating to Coe's life and professional career are housed separately. Included is the log book for Coe's first radio station, 9AON and 9ZV. Later in his career, Coe was active in organizations dealing with training and professional development within the broadcasting field; two diplomas from the Institute of Radio Engineers reflect these activities.
Coe's contributions to the field of broadcasting resulted in awards and other forms of special recognition from his peers. Several of these awards are housed with the collection. Of interest is an award from his colleagues at ABC-TV, and a plaque nominating Coe as a member of the "Society of Television Pioneers." Ohio University also honored Coe's accomplishments with an award, located among the artifacts. (See also photographic and audio holdings.
The box inventory for this series is not currently available online. Please refer to the series description above for a broad description of the materials or contact the department for more information.
Series 2: Writings, 1924-1975 (0.75 linear foot)
Coe communicated through the written as well as the spoken word, contributing material to several articles, and authoring other works himself. Included in this series is material relating to the reports he co-authored.
Coe prepared extensively for his lectures when teaching at Ohio University. His detailed lecture notes provide an overview of the American broadcasting field. Of special interest is the unfinished manuscript for the book Coe was in the process of writing at the time he died; A Saga of American Broadcasting, a history of the American broadcasting industry based on Coe's personal experiences.
The box inventory for this series is not currently available online. Please refer to the series description above for a broad description of the materials or contact the department for more information.
Series 3: Photographic and Audio Materials, null (3.50 linear feet)
Photographs and audio materials form an important part of this collection. For purposes of providing greater accessibility as well as increased archival stability, these sensitive materials are stored separately. The photographs including pictures of Coe with Bing Crosby and Gloria Swanson are housed in the Library's photographic archives.
