China is expanding and enhancing its military presence in the South China Sea, seeding the Spratly Islands with air bases for fighter jets, radars and missile posts with retractable roofs able to fire long-range surface-to-air missiles.

"New missile shelters, radar/communications facilities, and other infrastructure are going in on Fiery Cross, Mischief, and Subi Reefs" in the island chain, AMTI posted on Thursday.
Military assets and dual-use facilities are being erected at an increasing clip, according to imagery from the Washington-based Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative. China says it is committed to peace with neighbors who dispute its claims to various reefs, islands and islets in the South China Sea, but the construction shows China is keen to project power throughout the body of water and beyond.
In May, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) decided on an outline for a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea.
The Philippines has disputed multiple islet claims and access to fisheries with Beijing but under President Rodrigo Duterte the country has done a 180-degree shift to pursue China and Russia--not Washington--as top allies, despite an international court ruling in June 2016 that found the Spratly Islands to be legitimate possessions of Manila.
"I am now working on an alliance with China and I hope to start a good working relationship with Russia," Duterte told RT in May. The Philippines has pursued cozier relations with China despite their disagreements in the South China Sea, and when Washington nixed a deal to send arms to Manila to fight terrorism, Duterte all but pulled the plug on his relationship with Washington.
Fiery Cross Reef appears to be the most developed of the "big three" installations, AMTI noted. Earlier satellite imagery suggested there were eight missile shelters on the island, consistent with the number of batteries on the Mischief and Subi reefs. Images captured in June show four more new installments on Fiery Cross, Reuters reported.

Gout is caused by an accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints and other tissues. Over time, these crystals can lead to painful attacks of gout, typically beginning in the big toe. The relationship between gout and kidney disease is two-fold, those with gout are 83% more likely to have kidney disease and those who have kidney disease are more likely to suffer from gout. Since the kidneys typically process uric acid, those with decreased kidney function will have a more difficult time eliminating excess uric acid. Typical treatment of gout includes taking uric acid-lowering medications, however many of these medications may be harmful to the kidneys. Because of this, those with decreased kidney function are usually encouraged to treat gout with lifestyle changes such as increased exercise and managing diet.
Previously, we've shared research showing the benefits of the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) Diet in lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of kidney disease. Now, researchers are observing this diet may also lower uric acid levels, decreasing the risk of gout.
Researchers followed more than 44,000 men for 26 years and observed compared with a "western" style diet, plant rich diets reduced blood pressure, lowered heart disease risk and lowered the risk of developing gout.
The researchers observed the DASH diet reducing uric acid in the blood, and then wondered if this would lower the risk of gout. They decided to use data from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study to examine the link between diet and gout risk by assigning each participant a score the reflected how closely their diet matched the DASH one and another score that reflected how closely they followed the Western. The DASH diet is high in fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and low-fat dairy and low in red and processed meats, salt and sugary drinks. A Western diet is characterized by high intake of red and processed meats, refined grains, French fries, sweets and desserts.
When the team analyzed the 26 years of follow-up data, they found a higher DASH score was tied to a lower risk of developing gout. The team recognizes their study was observational, therefore it is not possible to draw conclusions about whether the DASH diet caused the reduction in gout risk but they can say it does not contradict this idea. The ability to lower uric acid levels by consuming a plant-rich diet may provide a preventative approach to reduce the risk of gout.

Press Quotes
Reviews of Garrison's recordings have been published in a variety of international jazz magazines:
Melodicism and freedom don't often go hand in hand, but guitarist Garrison Fewell is carving out a niche for himself where such a pairing seems inevitable.
—John Sharpe, AllAboutJazz-New York
Good band balance, nice themes (not all Fewell's; Hofbauer, Campbell and Swell contribute; John Tchicai too), fine production…Sound Particle 47 could become addictive.
—François Couture, Monsieur Délire
Garrison Fewell's second album with his tumultuous gang of horn-blowers and noisemakers is a jubilant cacophony that compromises absolutely nothing!
—John Garratt, PopMatters.com
This is advanced ensemble improvisation that begins where Mingus's larger ensemble works leave off and takes the music to further outposts and way stations in the realm of new sounds. Sound Particle 47 brings to you an uncompromising look at what thoughtful compositions and intelligent improvisation can do when built up by a very talent group of musicians. This is a first-rate performance of cuttingly acute music. Definitely recommended for an excellent example of what is gong on right now.
—Grego Applegate Edwards, Gapplegate Guitar and Bass Blog
It's a formidable ensemble essaying memorable contributions with unusual formal structures that keep the improvisers on their toes…a complete program that holds together like a suite.
—Robert Iannapollo, Signal to Noise
Good Night Songs (2006, Boxholder): Voted Best Jazz Recording of 2006 by the Boston Phoenix
"Tchicai posses an unfailing melodic instinct that turns his every improvisation into a miniature act of spontaneous composition. Guitarist Garrison Fewell whose ethereal playing brings out a more lyrical side in Tchicai, seems to drift along beneath his collaborators, providing a fluid bed over which they can serenely flow." – Shaun Brady, Philadelphia Citypaper
Big Chief Dreaming (2005, Soul Note): Voted Best of 2005 by Jazz Review (UK), and the Montreal Gazzette
"Like no other album to come across my desk this year, this one demands to be heard again and again. It unfolds over time and reveals no small charms. Tchicai and company make an evocative team. They also bring the scorched earth of free jazz back to life with a flower or two." – Dan Rose, One Final Note
"Garrison Fewell's writing often bears similarities to Sun Ra and Don Cherry with its open forms. Case in point is the album's centerpiece: 'The Queen of Ra.'" – Troy Collins, AAJ
"His beautiful tone and effortless, fluid lines draw the listener in as only a select few have done…a fine guitarist who appeals on the sublime, emotional level of a Bill Evans or a Jim Hall." -James Rozzi, Wired
"His active imagination is restless; his musical intelligence is acute; his standards are high."-Thomas Conrad, DownBeat
"Continually surprising change-ups in phrasing, technique and timing, along with a perceptive balance between forward linear motion and shifting horizontal timbres are the hallmarks of Fewell's style."-Milo Fine, Cadence
"With phrasing that is simply flawless he digs into harmonies with a clear and unique style, free of clich."-M. Ariodante, Axe (Italy)
"Guitarist Garrison Fewell is a find one of the music's best kept secrets. A fine composer and a sure stylist with a hearty mahogany tone"-Bob Young, Jazziz
"Garrison Fewell performs flawlessly on guitar, gliding over the chords effortlessly."-Steven Loewy, All Music Guide
"Guitarist Garrison Fewell has the maturity to appreciate the importance of connecting the dots: fitting ideas together and making them work."-Nils Jacobson, All About Jazz
"The very title of Fewell's first Accurate CD – A Blue Deeper Than the Blue – suggests the layered indigo shades and poetic echoes heard from his guitar. Each note has shape and substance, each solo definition and flexibility… legato phraseology, ripe emotions, pristine beauties of sound." – Jazz Times
A Blue Deeper Than Blue (1993, Accurate Records): Awarded Best Jazz Recording 1993, by the Boston Music Awards, Top Ten by Coda Magazine, UPI, and Guitar Player.
"…a subtle jewel of a debut album, one that instantly places him in the top rank of jazz guitarists anywhere."-Boston Herald
Reflection of a Clear Moon (1995, Accurate Records): Awarded Top Ten Best Jazz of 1995 by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Birdland Sessions (2000, Koch Jazz): "Birdland Sessions is probably most significant for his catchy originals. several deserve to be interpreted by other players and have the potential to become future standards."– All Music Guide
Red Door Number 11 (2003, Splasc(H) Records): "Red Door is a lot like the timeless '60s duet recordings Bill Evans made with Jim Hall in more than a few ways. In the best ways, really. Provided you have the maturity to appreciate understatement, Red Door Number 11 is an unqualified success."- All About Jazz
"When it comes to playing traditional jazz guitar – nimble, swinging, bop- inflected lines on a honey- toned archtop – few contemporary pickers can match Garrison Fewell." – Andy Ellis, Guitar Player magazine. May '04

The international conference on the role of Bars for an 'Independent, qualified and ethical exercise of the profession' in Tbilisi, on 20-21 June 2016, in Georgia, discussed, inter alia, best practices for lawyers' training. Over sixty representatives from 14 countries, including the CCBE First-Vice President Ruthven Gemmell, presented their training systems. The discussions showed that the training systems are more or less similar (law degree, practical training, bar exam), except for Turkey which has no bar exam (see post of 25 February 2016). Lithuania is considering introducing a unified exam for advocates, judges and prosecutors. As for continuous training, discussions showed that in all countries, Bars are in charge of continous training, including its management. The required number of hours or credits differs from country to country. The training working group discussions concluded that the best practices will differ from country to country, given that training activities must respond to the needs of lawyers in any given country. The exchange of experiences between other countries is always helpful. Teaching in legal ethics is crucial. A report on the conference, containing details of the presentations, can be downloaded here.

As many of our employees are working in STEM jobs, we have a key opportunity to inspire the next generation to follow in our footsteps.
Woodside's STEM in Schools Program is a collaboration between Woodside volunteers and
Earth Science Western Australia aimed at educating and inspiring primary and secondary school students about the oil and gas industry and the relevance of a career in STEM.
Since it began in 2016, the initiative has already reached and inspired more than 3000 WA students.
Fiona Chow, Chief Geotechnical Engineer at Woodside, recently took on the challenge to teach the concept of oil and gas to a classroom of 30 year 6 primary school students. Fiona shared her experience and insights about what it was like to teach kids about STEM.
The hour-long training session made it look simple: how difficult could it be to introduce the concept of an oil and gas reservoir by guiding primary school kids to make a vegemite sandwich? We followed the trainer's instructions precisely and drilled one well each – too easy!
Fast forward to a classroom of 30 Year 6 students. We introduced the concept of energy and watched a movie showing oil and gas formation and then it was time for them to make their reservoir sandwiches in teams of three. We gave instructions and asked them to repeat them back, handed out the kits and then watched the chaos unfold. Hilarity and horror in equal measures, as the kids enthusiastically launched into sandwich making with a couple of cases of super-saturated vegemite-soaked sandwiches – gross! Wells were drilled, results compared and more and more wells drilled till it was impossible to drill any more. Vegemite was found smeared on knees and sprinkles made their way everywhere.
Surprisingly, the discussion afterwards showed that this simple exercise had a big impact with the students coming out with probing and imaginative questions such as "How long does it take for the gas to travel from the reservoir to our kitchens?", "How do explosions happen?", "How did they build the Busselton Jetty?". They respectfully noted that engineers had to be "brave".
Altogether I led three sessions, two with Y6 and one with Y2 with the younger class being the most receptive and the best at following instructions. At the end when we asked "Who wants to be an engineer or scientist when they grow up?" we had a deep sense of satisfaction as 30 hands shot up into the air. Mission accomplished!
Five things I learnt were:
1. The majority of 8 year olds have no idea where electricity, petrol or gas comes from.
2. Most kids don't know what STEM stands for.
3. Kids are best engaged by answering questions and being active.
4. The importance of emphasising that only a dab of vegemite is needed in the sandwiches.
5. A molecule of gas takes about a week to travel from the North West Shelf reservoirs to our kitchens, depending on demand, according to Julie Morgan, Woodside's Chief Flow Assurance Engineer.
If you would like to register your interest and nominate a school to be involved in the program, complete the contact form on Woodside's new
STEM Education webpage. This is where schools, teachers and students can also access some useful resources.

I'm wondering if there's a new rule in our house that Raven won't use a new bed until it's been in the house for nearly a year. Last month I shared a photo of Raven in the little doll bed from Ikea. It took her nearly a year to use that one.
I bought this cozy pink bed December 23, 2016. Raven refused to use it, and she actually seemed afraid of it. I'd try to coax her into the bed with no luck. If I set her in it, she'd leap out. Like the doll bed, it was on the list of items to donate.
The first time I saw her use this bed was December 13, 2017. She wasn't feeling well and I thought, "this is a different behavior, which makes sense since she feels poorly." Maybe it would be her comfort spot when she didn't feel good. Last night she got into the bed again. She wasn't feeling ill, but she didn't settle in for a snooze, either. Maybe the flashy box had something to do with that 😉 This bed will have to stay here longer to give Raven a chance to decide whether or not she likes it.

WASHINGTON — There will no longer will be "enemy combatants" at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Obama administration said Friday. Moreover, the new president no longer claims that his title as commander in chief allows him to order people deemed to be dangerous captured and held without trial.
Having abandoned a favored Bush administration term in the war on terrorism, however, the new administration has claimed roughly the same power to hold Guantanamo's detainees indefinitely -- even those who never held a gun or went near a battlefield.
The Justice Department emphasized the terminology change in a news release.
But lawyers who have been fighting the government's detention policies countered that nothing had changed. The Center for Constitutional Rights said the new administration "offers essentially the same definition of 'enemy combatant' without using the term."
Friday's announcement arose as a result of last year's Supreme Court ruling that said Guantanamo prisoners could challenge their detention before a federal judge. Lawyers filed hundreds of petitions on their behalf.

Miklos Radnoti, marched from forced labour
in Yugoslavia back into Hungary, came to rest
near a bend in the Radca, at what his translator
describes as "a strange and lonely place" where
the tributary joins "the great river," a marshland
watched over by willows and "high circling birds."
Condors perhaps - they appear in the notes and
poems he was writing - under a foamy sky.
Huddled in a trench with the body of a friend
who'd been shot in the neck, he wrote with a pencil
stub in his notebook: patience flowers into death.
His wife's face bloomed in his head.
Thinking of the petals of crushed flowers
floating in a wake of perfume, he wrote to caress her
neck. The fascists' bullets wiped out his patience.
His written petals survive.
Today, we listen to the news of war
here in a river sanctuary my wife's unbending
will has created - horizontal slats of cedar, verticals
of glass - a Mondrian chapel of light.
This afternoon just before dark the first
greenshank arrived from the Hebrides.
Ignorant of human borders, its migration
technology is simple: feathers
and fish-fuel, cryptic colour and homing
instinct. This elegant wader landed on a mooring,
got ruffled in the westerly, then took off again,
an acrobatic twister, and levelled down
onto a mudflat - a lone figure that dashed across
the shore, stood on one leg, then, conducting
its song with its bill, came forward
in a high-stepping dance.

The students will explore and practice storytelling techniques. They will also study acting and performance skills to use with monologues, scripts and producing scenes and short films.
Classwork and Guided Practice
Students are required to participate in class discussions, activities and theatre games. Opting out will negatively impact classwork/guided practice grades.
Each class period the students complete an Opening Reflection in the folders that have been provided. They are required to write the question as well as a "quality" response. They are also required to record important notes. I will check folders ONCE every other week (every 5 classes/reflections)
Students will also SLATE every other week. A slate is a formal introduction in which students practice oral communication and public speaking skills. They are graded on articulation, projection, posture, vocal tone and quality of response. Slate grades are performance assessment grades as are project completion grades. Major projects for the general course are::
1. Digital Story
2. Monologue
3. Critical Review of a dramatic work.
We Are Going Google!
This year we will be using the Google Classroom application. Google classroom is a virtual extension of the traditional classroom. Students will be able to view lesson content and respond to questions and complete tasks and assignments. We will be setting up shop next week. Stay tuned!

Israel has been waiting for this promise to be kept.
Ever since the twelve spies scouted the Promised Land out; and ten of them doubted it was possible to take this land for themselves – so God gave them 40 more years to think about it (Numbers 13-14).
Ever since they made a golden calf to worship, and God got mad, and threatened to not go along with them at all (Exodus 32-33).
Ever since they wondered how they'd have enough to eat or enough to drink to even survive the journey – and God provided (Exodus 16-17).
Ever since they were backed up at the Red Sea trying to get out of Egypt – and God parted the waters so they could pass (Exodus 14).
Ever since Moses and Aaron confronted Pharaoh with twelve plagues (Exodus 7-12).
Ever since they were slaves in Egypt and they cried out to God for help, and God heard their cry and called Moses (Exodus 2-3).
Ever since all that, Israel has been waiting to make it to the Promised Land.
And here they are: crossing the Jordan River.
There are few things as delicious as a long-awaited moment now arrived. Like Christmas morning come for children, or retirement day come for adults. After 40 years (and then some) of anticipation, the Israelites are finally here.
Now that they're walking across the Jordan and into what will become their permanent home, now that they're celebrating and we're celebrating with them, it's easy to forget just how long they waited to get here.
Forty years… and then some.
Because before the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, they were refugees brought there by Joseph; Joseph whose father told him about a promise from God (Genesis 48).
And before Joseph, God made that promise to Jacob as he dreamt of a ladder (Genesis 28).
And before Jacob, God made that promise to Isaac (Genesis 26).
And before Isaac, God made the original promise to Abraham, a promise that his many descendants would become a great nation that would bless the whole world… a nation with land of their own (Genesis 12).
All the way from Genesis 12 to Joshua 3… Or, as some Bible scholars estimate it, all the way from 2,000 BC to 1,220 BC. That's around 780 years from God's first promise of descendants with their own land… to the actual, permanent arrival on that land.
That's a long time to wait.
Longer that you or I have ever had to wait for anything, I'm willing to bet.
And in the now-immortal words of Tom Petty: The waiting is the hardest part.
I mean, seriously. The waiting is terrible.
When you're waiting for something important, it doesn't matter if you have to wait 5 minutes or 5 weeks or 5000 years… it's excruciating. Our God who is eternal knows how all this will turn out, but we who live by the clock do not. When we haven't made it to the Promised Land yet – can't even see it in the distance – we want to pray the prayer of Psalm 13:
"How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?"
God does not forget us forever. Every time, one way or another, this side of the grave or another – God remembers. I believe it because our God is the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. God made a promise and God did not forget, not even after 780 years.
I believe in God's promise… and yet, in the middle of the waiting, it can be very hard to believe.
The secret is in looking back.
There's a repetitiveness in this story – did you notice it? All Israel needs to cross a river, so the waters are backed up – parted – and they have safe passage. The waters only come back together after every one of them (40,000 soldiers just as a start!) had crossed over safely.
Remind you of anything that has happened to Israel before?
"As I was with Moses, so I will be with you," God tells Joshua at the beginning of all this. This repetition of a parting-waters miracle is likely no mere geographic coincidence. The Jordan is not an impossibly deep river to fjord. Surely there could have been some other way across (even if inconvenient). This is more than just a miracle, it's a reminder of what God has done before.
When we are in a long waiting, trying to hold on to our faith, we can remind ourselves as God reminded Joshua: As God was with me then, God will be with me now.
Try it now. Think back – as far back as you need to go. When has God been faithful to you? Did God give you the wisdom you needed for that tough decision, or the forgiveness you needed after that big debacle? When have you said that desperate prayer after a close call, "Thank you, God!"
God was with you then.
And God is with you now.
Maybe you're waiting: for the arrival of a job or a vacation; for the healing of a body or a mind or a relationship… If you're waiting, remember that the God who was with you then will be with you now.
As long as it takes.
Because the God who made a promise to Abraham didn't forget it after 780 years.
And that same God didn't forget after another 1,050 years. All those years later, in this same Jordan River, the heavens would part instead of the waters. A dove would show up and God would speak, identifying an only Son sent to bless all the world through Abraham's people.
God keeps God's promises. No matter how long it takes.
If you are waiting – too long, waiting – then know that the God who loves you is with you. Always.

Grassroots Fundraising:
by Doug Nash
Gifts in kind is the term used when donors give goods or services instead of cash. There are numerous reasons why some donors prefer this method. From distrust in the giving of cash to this method being better suited to both the receiver and the donor, i.e. donation of precooked or prepackaged food.
Asking for gifts in kind instead of cash gives you extra dimensions when fundraising. This kind of donations is a real boost when running auctions, raffles, handing out rewards and other similar activities. You will rarely be offered a donation of this sort that you can't use to your benefit. Although some may require a little lateral thinking and imagination to achieve the advantage.
You should always make yourself aware of any kind of risks, if any, associated with any donation, gifts in kind are no exception. Before accepting the donation you should use common sense and if applicable proper investigation to ensure that no `nasty surprises are attached to the donation. If you are not sure then seek proper counsel before accepting the gift.
Here are a few questions to answer to your satisfaction before accepting:
These are just a few of the questions that should be answered to your satisfaction before acceptance. This is not a comprehensive list, so apply common sense to your situation and don't be afraid to ask questions before committing yourself. You may be saving your self and your organisation some painful and costly times ahead.
Apply the old saying 'if it looks too good to be true then it probably
is!' and act accordingly.

Managing a Hearing Impairment at University
By Israa Ali, First year Business Management (BA) student at the University of Sheffield
Going to university can be a nerve-racking experience especially when you're hearing impaired. You're surrounded by new people in an unfamiliar setting, very different to home. You might have difficulties hearing above all the noise on campus and there are all these different accents you may encounter and have trouble understanding. However, I also saw university as an opportunity to practice my lip reading, better manage my hearing impairment and prepare for the world of work.
Arranging support
When I arrived at university, I arranged for support from the disability support service. Getting support does not mean you are weak and can't get by without help. No, the support is there to help you work better with your hearing (or any disability you may have) and make life at university easier and safer.
Because I did not use a radio aid for a long time, I opted to have a note taker although it is very possible to get both together if it is more convenient for you. The note-taking service was great and helped me immensely during lectures as I could listen to lecturers and not worry about missing anything while I took notes.
Hearing in lecture theatres
At university, I found that I could hear lecturers better in big lecture theatres than in small classrooms. This is because most large halls have sound systems and a loop system (for those who use a radio aid) fitted. Also, lecturers tend to speak louder so that students sitting at the back can hear. If you are like me who relies on lip reading, then you could sit closer to the front where you will be able to see the lecturer clearer. If you use sign language you could request a sign language interpreter from the disability support service.
Another thing that I think you should be aware of is professors often upload class materials before lectures. It was really helpful for me to read the slides beforehand to get a general idea of the topic that was to be discussed in lectures. I'd highly recommend you check that your lecturers pre-upload material online when you start university and make the most of the available notes.
Group Work
If like mine, your course involves group work, you may have difficulty hearing your group particularly if they are not aware that you have a hearing impairment. I told my teammates that I couldn't hear everyone at once and asked that they take it in turns speaking; don't feel embarrassed about making such requests and sharing information about your disability, it is better to be comfortable than to be constantly anxious during meetings.
If you own a radio aid, it might be worth using it in group meetings, placing the radio aid in the centre of the group. Another thing that may help is having visual tools. If there are study rooms on campus equipped with a TV screen or whiteboard, you could work together to write all your ideas on a laptop connected to the screen or on the board. This can help not just yourself but everyone else, as you can clearly see your ideas come together and have a document available to look back on in the future.
Group work is particularly valuable when it comes to building confidence in listening to other people. At the beginning of the year, I was not particularly confident in my hearing. I would focus too much on trying to listen and ended up missing out more. I found ways to overcome this at university and learnt how to recognise words spoken in different accents as I spoke to more people. This confidence in communication will help me in work after graduation, where I expect to be working with many different people.
Finally, 5 top tips to make the most out of university…
- Do your research; find out what support and facilities the university provides and what would be of benefit to you.
- Arrange support as soon as possible so that the disability support service can respond to your request quickly and provide adjustments to suit your specific needs.
- Don't be afraid to be open about your hearing impairment. If you miss something in lectures ask the lecturer after class, email them or arrange a meeting. If you are uncomfortable, talk to someone! A friend, flatmate, university support, anyone you feel may be able to help and provide support.
- Use visual tools as often as you can especially when you're working in a group. Print out lecture slides before lectures, have notes on a screen; anything that makes things easier.
- Don't doubt yourself! Being hearing impaired might present challenges but everyone faces a challenge at some point, you just have to be confident in yourself that you can overcome any obstacles thrown your way! Most importantly, university is a brilliant experience which will enable you to discover your strengths and learn to celebrate them.

Polyurethane sandwich panel line
polyurethane sandwich panel line
Created with a polyurethane core, the polyurethane sandwich panels are cost-effective and high-quality. The automated panel line is able to product sandwich panels quickly and easily which is great for time-management. The polyurethane Sandwich panel line uses flame-resistant PIR (Polyisocyanurate) materials and is also environmentally-friendly and is known for using "green" materials and processes. The entire automated system includes many different systems within the umbrella automated system which include the un-coiler, roll forming unit, polyurethane forming unit, the laminating unit, and more.
The un-coiler is vital towards producing the highest-quality sandwich panels since it both inputs and releases the coil in order to feed the panels into the automated machine safely and effectively. The un-coiler is automated through a hydraulic system that is simple to operate and use. Another aspect of the un-coiler is that it provides continuous movement since the machine feeds continuously and in a fluid motion.
The panel packing unit applies plastic wrap to the sandwich panels after they have been created by the automated polyurethane sandwich panel line. The plastic wrap is applied to either 4 or 6 of the different sides of the panels and then discharged onto a cargo truck for efficient transportation processes. The panels are transferred to the cargo trucks automatically by way of the machine.
In order to feed the machine in a stable way, the un-coiler is a device that inputs the steel coil itself into the upper and the lower parts of the sandwich panel. It is a convenient and sophisticated automatic machine that is operated with a hydraulic. There is no need for the un-coiler device to reload the new coil set, it automatically reloads which leads to a consistent products of high-capacity panels being produced. The production equipment is a 2×2 systematic unit.
Roll Forming Unit
This part of the polyurethane sandwich panel line is the roll forming unit which actually gives the correct shape to the panel itself, and is able to create a variety of different shapes. This part of the mechanism consists of a metal roller and the way that it works is the steel coil is put into the panel packing unit to create the right shape.
Polyurethane Foaming Unit
The PU foaming unit sprays the PU solution onto the panel. It includes a pump and spray nozzle, as well as a bin that holds the PU solution. This unit has been carefully designed with a control panel that offers great precision in order to spray the panel correctly. The control panel can be adjusted accordingly.
Laminating Unit
The laminating unit actually shapes the panel itself. In order to shape the panel correctly, heat as well as intense pressure is created in the unit which bends the panel accordingly.
Panel Cutting Unit
This area of machine cuts the panel using various types of cutting such as wheel cutting. A band saw is used to cut the panel based on the needs of the user.
Cooling Conveyer Unit
This is a very important step in the process since this unit cools the panel once it has been shaped, sprayed, and cut. In order to stack and store the panels, they must be cooled down first, and this is why this unit is vital in the polyurethane sandwich panel line.
Automated Stacking Unit
This is one of the last steps in the polyurethane sandwich panel line. This unit is used after the panels have been cooled by the cooling conveyer unit and are then stacked on top of one another. The stacking can also be done in a diagonal fashion as well. And, a lift conveyer or vacuum suction plates are used to stack the panels. This unit is automated and very efficient, as several panels can be stacked continuously on top of one another very quickly.
Panel Stacking Unit
This last step in the polyurethane sandwich panel line is when plastic wrap is applied to the panels to ensure quality and durability. This unit also makes way for easy transportation purposes for the panels themselves.

Hello hello, fellas!
One husband came home after a tiring day at work. He found a thank you card from his wife on their dining table.
In the card, the wife wrote:
"Thanks babe for buying this wonderful contraption for our anniversary."
He then called his wife out and asked: "I didn't buy you contraception. Who gave you that?"
His wife then explained that she wrote 'contraption', not 'contraception'. He has misread the card. :D
You see, fellas, there's a huuuuuge difference between 'contraption' and 'contraception'.
Contraption (baca: kontrepsyen) is a noun which means a mechanical device or a gadget.
Example of contraption: TV, phone, computer, PlayStation, WII, washing machine, hair dryer, etc. #EngTrivia
Contraception (baca: kontrasepsyen) is drugs, devices or medical procedures which attempts to control ovulation and pregnancy.
There goes a short session for the day, fellas! Now you see why the husband was surprised by the misunderstanding. :D
Stay tuned to our daily sessions for more interesting discussions. G'nite!

Facilitator and Constrainer: How the EU Shaped E3 Diplomacy in Responding to Iran's Nuclear Programme
Nicholas Wright
The disclosure in 2002 that Iran was in breach of its commitments under the Non-Proliferation Treaty began an international crisis that continues to this day. In 2003 Britain, Germany and France as the so-called 'E3' claimed leadership of the international response, thereby also assuming the prerogative of speaking for the EU as a whole. Although unsuccessful in resolving the crisis, and despite being superseded by the E3+3 (including the US, Russia and China), the E3 continue to claim leadership of the European component of the negotiations, insisting, moreover, that the comprehensive sanctions regime imposed by the EU on Iran remains more rigorous than that of the UN. This paper examines E3 diplomacy and efforts at leadership in responding to Iran, asking to what extent the EU has acted to constrain or facilitate these. Drawing on evidence from a range of policy documents and interviews with officials in London, Paris, Berlin and Brussels, it argues that while the three states have sought to instrumentalise the EU in developing an effective international response, their credibility as international actors is linked directly to the EU. This, in turn, has both facilitated and constrained their policy approaches. This in turn raises important questions about the ability of individual states to exercise meaningful political leadership in the context of complex multilateral organisations, and how such organisations can shape and influence the practice of foreign policy statecraft.

A couple of days ago, a Facebook friend posted about how much she struggles to like Christmas. I always find it a bit shocking that people don't like Christmas, and at the risk of sounding like a Hallmark Channel movie quip, I think they've lost touch with the spirit of Christmas.
Probably a case of too much commercial radio and television, too many shopping malls, and not enough hot chocolate and Christmas stories.
My favorite this year has been A Child's Christmas In Wales by Dylan Thomas. I added the 1952 audio recording to my Christmas wish list. It is a wondrous and mischievous short piece of prose work, based on Thomas' own childhood memories of Christmas. Every sentence (and some of them run on) is stuffed with antics and descriptions that transport you instantly back to a childhood you never actually lived.
It was on the afternoon of the Christmas Eve, and I was in Mrs. Prothero's garden, waiting for cats, with her son Jim. It was snowing. It was always snowing at Christmas. December, in my memory, is white as Lapland, though there were no reindeers. But there were cats. Patient, cold and callous, our hands wrapped in socks, we waited to snowball the cats. Sleek and long as jaguars and horrible-whiskered, spitting and snarling, they would slink and sidle over the white back-garden walls, and the lynx-eyed hunters, Jim and I, fur-capped and moccasined trappers from Hudson Bay, off Mumbles Road, would hurl our deadly snowballs at the green of their eyes. The wise cats never appeared.
Cats 1, cruel boys 0.
Years and years ago, when I was a boy, when there were wolves in Wales, and birds the color of red-flannel petticoats whisked past the harp-shaped hills, when we sang and wallowed all night and day in caves that smelt like Sunday afternoons in damp front farmhouse parlors, and we chased, with the jawbones of deacons, the English and the bears, before the motor car, before the wheel, before the duchess-faced horse, when we rode the daft and happy hills bareback, it snowed and it snowed. But here a small boy says: "It snowed last year, too. I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea."
And then there is this explosion of Christmas...more lists than sentences, of all the things a child found incomprehensibly wondrous (even if some was also hideous)...
"Bags of moist and many-colored jelly babies and a folded flag and a false nose and a tram-conductor's cap and a machine that punched tickets and rang a bell; never a catapult; once, by mistake that no one could explain, a little hatchet; and a celluloid duck that made, when you pressed it, a most unducklike sound, a mewing moo that an ambitious cat might make who wished to be a cow; and a painting book in which I could make the grass, the trees, the sea and the animals any colour I pleased, and still the dazzling sky-blue sheep are grazing in the red field under the rainbow-billed and pea-green birds. Hardboileds, toffee, fudge and allsorts, crunches, cracknels, humbugs, glaciers, marzipan, and butterwelsh for the Welsh. And troops of bright tin soldiers who, if they could not fight, could always run. And Snakes-and-Families and Happy Ladders. And Easy Hobbi-Games for Little Engineers, complete with instructions. Oh, easy for Leonardo! And a whistle to make the dogs bark to wake up the old man next door to make him beat on the wall with his stick to shake our picture off the wall. And a packet of cigarettes: you put one in your mouth and you stood at the corner of the street and you waited for hours, in vain, for an old lady to scold you for smoking a cigarette, and then with a smirk you ate it. And then it was breakfast under the balloons."
You can read the full version here, and see the Etsy treasury inspired by the poem here (I've got to get my hands on the Lebkuchen Perfume Honey).
I looked for definitions and recipes of the food items, and found Cracknels and Glaciers and Butterwelsh, though I'm not sure the glaciers I found are the same as what would have been made in Wales. I fancied that I would try to recreate some of the recipes over Christmas, but I may do nothing more than simply enjoy my family.
**Woah, where did Monday go? Oh yeah, it was in the negative degrees - so cold that I was getting frostbite walking from the house to the car, WITH GLOVES ON. So I got into bed early yesterday, pulled the covers over my head, and pretended the day didn't exist.
That's what happened to Monday.
So Velveteers, gather yourselves up. This is the last 100 word challenge and post between now and the New Year! Your word is:
See you on January 6th, with some surprises. ;)

Clayton, Georgia (August 31, 2016) - HealtHIE Georgia, www.healtHIEgeorgia.org , a health information exchange, serving rural Georgia healthcare providers, is now connected with the Georgia Health Information Network (GaHIN), state-designated Health Information Exchange (HIE) entity for Georgia. By joining GaHIN, HealtHIE Georgia is able to securely access and share patient information at the point of care. Serving rural providers as a service area health information exchange on the GaHIN and powered by Envision, the connections established promote patient engagement and create a care coordination and data sharing structure for population management. The successful connections, established in Phase One, enable the secure passing of data between two hospitals, Dorminy Medical Center and Jeff Davis Hospital, and twenty-two clinics. Phase Two, scheduled for October through December of this year promises to pass data between six additional hospital facilities and numerous providers.
Focusing on the needs of rural hospitals and their practices, HealtHIE Georgia is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation, enabling increased interoperability, improved technologies, health information exchange, education and training, pooled funding and resources, and greater economies of scale. Mark Renfro, Executive Director, states, "Empowering the rural hospitals and practices by focusing on building the foundation for care coordination will increase communication among providers, facilitating appropriate care while reducing duplication, with the goal to reduce costs and improve health outcomes".
The network that HealtHIE Georgia is now connected to is the Georgia Health Information Network (GaHIN), www.gahin.org, gives its members the ability to access a more complete view of their patient health information directly from their electronic health record (EHR) systems. For patients, that means easier, safer, and better healthcare-with an emphasis on privacy and security. The network's purpose is to close the patient information gap across all care settings and to support improved quality of care, better health outcomes and cost efficiencies. By establishing a trusted network with existing health networks, GaHIN facilitates the delivery of the right health information to the right place at the right time-providing the people of Georgia with safer, timelier and better care.
This progress is supported with ongoing education to enable better use of the new connections. HomeTown Health University (HTHU) www.hthu.net, is the chosen education provider for HealtHIE Georgia. This grant funded partnership provides HealtHIE Georgia education through live monthly webinars and online education. Health IT and Rural Medical Home Network Monthly Webinars are offered, on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 12:30 p.m., at no charge to all rural hospitals in Georgia. The archived webinar education and additional online courses are available in the HTHU School of Health IT & Transformation http://hthu.net/course-catalog/school-of-hit/. Topics for hospitals and affiliated practices include Meaningful Use, EHR, HIE, HIT, Basic Networking, Interoperability, Community Connections, Care Transitions, Care Coordination, and more.
In addition, Envision, the IT partner of HealtHIE Georgia, provides comprehensive IT services and support to the participating physicians and facilities. Renfro notes that "connectivity between providers certainly provides benefits, but also brings with it new IT challenges; we are grateful to have the partners supporting our programs like Envision, so that clients can focus on core business functions and objectives rather than on IT".

Take a peak into our participants' experiences!

Standing up to the South Tel Aviv Stigma
Natalie Astor, from Potomac, MD, is a 5-month Internship Track participant. She is interning at the Terem Refugee Health Clinic, and volunteering at Kadima Wolfson, a community after-school program for children in South Tel Aviv.
After studying abroad and interning in Tel Aviv for almost 8 months last year, I thought that I left with a deep connection to the city and a sense of understanding and belonging. However, in all my time living, learning, and experiencing life in Tel Aviv, I never once ventured into South Tel Aviv. Not only was this a place that I did not feel the need to go, but a place I purposefully tried to avoid. Being a naïve newcomer to Israel as a whole, I pretty much started on a clean slate and developed my outlook over time based off the information I gleaned from others. My first exposure to the notion of division in the city was when my friend and I were planning a trip to Jerusalem and our
teacher told us not to go to the central bus station (located in South Tel Aviv), but to go to one in the center of the city. When we asked why, she simply said that it was a bad area of town that we should avoid and we would not be safe there. Another time, I wanted to buy a bike located in South Tel Aviv, but when I spoke to my friends about going to look at it, they said I should only go to look if it is during the day and I am not alone.
A year later when I told my friends and colleagues that I was going back to the city I loved and that brought me so much happiness, I was confronted with mixed reactions. Nearly everyone I encountered was supportive of the service work I would be doing, but those who were familiar with Tel Aviv advised me not to go to South Tel Aviv (or live there) and to be careful. They said it was "another world" and that it was too dangerous for me. Even people I spoke to in Israel tried to instil a sense of fear within me by telling me that South Tel Aviv, and the bus station in particular where I would be working, is not only the worst part of Tel Aviv, but the worst part of the country.
This whole time, I was basing my judgments off of the opinions of others, not any experiences or interactions I personally had. Living and interning in South Tel Aviv for nearly three months now has truly opened my eyes to another world, both positively to diverse and vibrant cultures, and negatively to the radical polarization and exclusivity exhibited by many in Israeli society. I'm currently interning at the
Terem Refugee Health Clinic
at the Central Bus Station, which offers an array of subsidized medical services to asylum seekers that are not covered by the national health insurance law, which provides universal health care to all Israeli citizens. It is a bit ironic to me that the national insurance law, affirming access to health care as a fundamental and collective right, would in reality not be universal and exclude a significant portion of the population.
The failure of the Israeli health system to include the asylum seeker population under the national health insurance law demonstrates the larger problem of the government's unwillingness to grant this population refugee status. Though the terms are often used synonymously, asylum seekers and refugees are quite different in that asylum seekers are not entitled to the same civil rights and social benefits as refugees. While thousands of asylum seekers have fled persecution and sought refuge in Israel, only a small percentage have been granted refugee status. Not only is this distinction damaging in terms of access to rights, but the failure to grant refugee status downplays and disregards the terror, hardship, and violence these people endured before they arrived here. It pains me that after all the asylum seekers overcame to get here, they are still denied the basic opportunity to better themselves and have limits placed on their aspirations. Interning at the clinic has allowed me to interact with the asylum seeker community in a variety of capacities. I get to work with many Eritrean staff members, work in reception at the clinic, complete patient histories, and conduct research in order to develop a chronic disease workshop for the clinic. Whether I am sitting in reception trying to communicate with a mother about her baby being sick, or asking a patient about their symptoms to produce their medical record, I am exposed to the humanity and humility of individuals that want the best for themselves and their families.
It is easy to get swept up into all that Tel Aviv has to offer (the nightlife, coffee shops, beaches, etc.) and to live in a bubble, blind to the struggles and challenges faced by those living right next door. As difficult as it is, more people need to take a step and face the harsh reality, in which the same place that is welcoming and allows so many thrive and enjoy life, can also be exclusive and stifling to others. The division of South Tel Aviv from the rest of Tel Aviv is indicative, to me, of the treatment of asylum seekers and migrant workers by the greater society; as outsiders, infiltrators, and those that are not welcome. The purposeful attempt to restrict asylum seekers acts to separate them from the rest of Israeli society and make them want to leave. Many people in Israeli society readily assign blame and hatred to the asylum seeker community, without even knowing them or giving them a chance. Characterizing South Tel Aviv negatively not only perpetuates a cycle of fear and hopelessness, but exacerbates the consequences of categorizing people as others and forgetting that they are human too. We need to stop simply putting a label on South Tel Aviv as different and integrate it into Tel Aviv and Israel as a whole. We need to put off finding a solution and recognize that the asylum seekers deserve better.

25 Feb Home Inspections
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
When you buy a home, you really need to get a home inspection so you know it's not about to fall apart. While it is true that there are some things an inspector can see and there are some things they can't, their primary objective is to make sure there aren't any major safety or structure issues before you invest in the house. Today, Deborah is joined by Dave Traver of Integrity Property Inspection to discuss what a home inspector will look at and why.
The roof is one of the first places an inspector will look. They'll inspect the flashing, trim, vents and skylights to make sure there isn't an issue. If there is, they will explain what the issue is, and often, why it is an issue. Then the inspector will check the exterior before going inside and looking at the main level, upstairs, any and all downstairs. In the kitchen, the inspector will check all of the appliances to make sure they're running correctly and the seals are all still functioning properly. They will also check the main mechanical systems and the plumbing, which can be make or break issues. Dave and Deborah discuss these in detail during today's show.
There is so much that goes into a home inspection! You'll want to make sure you are there while it's taking place so the inspector can let you know about issues, and why they are issues. Come listen as Deborah and Dave discuss some common issues you'll face when buying or selling a home in the Colorado Springs area.

For this months progressive challenge we were given a gorgeous digi by Rick St Dennis MFA called Aloha Nui.
This was an awesome stamp to colour, not only is she a pretty little thing it challenged me to try a different skin combo with my colouring.
I started with a square kraft base card and then matted it with red and then with a paper from Kaisers Paradiso collection. The elements I used as in the hibiscus, relax tag and warm wishes tag are also from Kaiser Craft. I also used some Raffia. I coloured Aloha Nui with copic markers and then cut her out and popped her up with double sided foam tape.
The copic markers that I used are:
