Occasionally excessive corrosion, erosion, vibration or thermal stress can cause leaks to develop in a piping system. The leaks may occur in straight pipe, elbows, miter bends, tees, or at flanges or valves. In other instances, thinned areas of piping may be found during routine inspections required by API 570, Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Re-rating of In-Service Piping Systems. In some cases, the leak can be stopped with a fiberglass reinforced epoxy wrap or gasket and pipe clamp until a permanent repair can be made to the piping. However, in many cases the temperature/pressure is too high, the time required for the epoxy wrap to be relied on to contain the leak is considered too long, or the weakening of the piping component is so severe that separation of the pipe is possible. In these cases, a longer term and more reliable repair is required. Depending on whether welding is permitted on the line, there are two basic types of leak containment devices:
This first article deals with the design and installation of welded-on leak containment devices. These are usually less expensive to fabricate and can be designed in many different shapes and sizes to enclose various piping configurations and components. A later article will discuss bolted-on leak containment devices. It should also be noted that in some cases, a combination of a bolted and welded-on leak containment device may be used.
Welded-on leak containment devices can be as simple as a lap patch or a pipe sleeve welded on the outside of the pipe. In other cases, a welded-on leak containment device can become more complex (e.g., if it must be fit over epoxy wraps or other bolted-on devices as added assurance against leakage). This type of welded-on leak containment device will be referred to as a welded-on leak box for the rest of this article. The welded-on box can contain leaks in some very complex piping configurations, such as at tees, reducers, elbows, miter bends, flanges and valves. Typically, the box is custom designed and then fabricated in the shop. The box is then cut along a convenient plane to facilitate field installation, fit-up, and field welding. Figure 1 shows the typical features of a welded-on leak box installed at a branch connection.
The first step is usually to consider whether the pipe is actively leaking and if there are any service restrictions on installing a welded-on leak box. There are several services where welding on the pipe is typically not permitted or may be restricted (e.g., air, oxygen, caustic, acid, amine, chlorine, and ethylene services). Typically, these are the same services in which a welding of a hot tap would not be permitted. The next step is to ensure that the weld to the pipe can be made without the possibility of burn-through during installation. Since many of these problems are similar to those dealing with hot tapping on lines, API RP 2201, Procedures for Welding or Hot Tapping on Equipment in Service, should be referred to in determining restricted services and precautions.
It is important that all design details of the box be in accordance with the applicable piping Code in so far as possible. One of the first design considerations is to determine whether the box must also contain the pressure thrust in the piping system if the pipe were to corrode/crack completely through. If the corrosion is localized, and a complete pipe separation is not a consideration, then the leak box can be designed much like a jacketed pressure vessel (e.g., ASME Code Section VIII, Div. 1, Appendix 9).
The leak box typically has a circular cross-section and as such can be designed as a straight piece of pipe using the straight pipe pressure thickness equations the applicable piping Code. If the leak box is covering a tee-shaped object, then reinforcement of the opening in the run of the leak box should be in accordance with the reinforcement requirements of in the applicable piping Code. Similarly, if the leak box is mitered, then the pressure-thickness design equations for miters in the applicable piping Code should be used.
If the jacket need not be designed for pressure thrust, the end closures on the box can be designed like a jacket vessel closure. Depending upon whether the jacket is fabricated from pipe or plate, a mill tolerance may be included. Although the welded-on box is often only temporary, a corrosion allowance is typically applied. It should be noted that the fluid in the box will be similar to a stagnant dead leg and could be subject to corrosion itself. Since it is difficult to radiograph the box after it is installed, a 0.6 to 0.65 weld joint efficiency is typically used depending on whether a backing strip will be used during welding of the long seam welds.
If separation of the pipe is possible, then the leak box is usually designed for the pressure thrust. In This case the jacket, and especially the end closures, must be designed to transmit the load across the weakened pipe section. In cases when the pressure is relatively low and the box size is small, the end closures can be flat plates and be designed as flanges (e.g., ASME Code Section VIII, Div. 1, Appendix 2). Figure 1 shows a thick end closure on the branch and a relatively thin end closure on the run of the tee. This is because the corrosion has severely affected the strength of the branch and the endplate must be designed to withstand the pressure thrust should the branch separate from the run pipe. If the pressure is high, either conical or formed reducers are typically preferred over flat end plates since flat plates can become very thick and the welds on the pipe can be very large. Pipe caps can sometimes be used as end closures, but special consideration must be given to reinforcing the opening in the pipe cap. In some designs, external tie rods can be used to carry the pressure thrust over the weakened piping section in a manner similar to that used in a universal expansion joint. In these cases, the end closures can again be designed as end closures of a jacketed vessel.
All fabrication details should be in accordance with the applicable piping Code. The orientation of the split in the box should be made to facilitate the field installation and welding. Discussion with maintenance staff who are installing and welding the leak box should be conducted before the design is finalized. Typically, the long seam welds are made with backing strips and welded first. Care must be used when installing the welds on each end of the box, as these are typically large fillet welds and burn-through is possible. API 570 Appendix D, API Publication 2009, Safe Welding, Cutting and other Hot Work Practices in Refineries, Gas Plants and Petrochemical Plants, and API RP 2201 contain many recommendations regarding welding on in-service piping.
After the box is tacked into position, fit-up and weld root gaps should be checked. Weld inspection usually consists of in-process MT/PT and RT of any major welds such as miter joint welds that can be done in the shop before the box is installed. In general all piping system components should be leak tested before being put into service. However, since a leak box is more akin to a hot tap nozzle, the leak box need only be tested to a maximum of 110% of the line operating pressure, unless calculations are made and show that buckling the inside pipe is not a concern. While a hydrotest is preferred, in many cases the internal pipe temperature is at or near the boiling point of water, and/or complete drainage of the water after the test is a problem. In these cases, a pneumatic leak test can be considered. Pneumatic tests are generally avoided due to their increased risk when compared to hydrotests. However, in the case of a leak box, the box volume is usually small, the test pressure is not as high as in a normal hydrotest, and therefore such a test is often done.
The above procedure outlines the typical considerations in the design, fabrication, inspection and testing of welded-on leak boxes. In addition, the following considerations may have to be addressed when installing a welded-on leak box:

This can have several causes:
My Philips SmartPro Compact robot will not switch on
Cause: The rechargeable battery has run down
Solution: Charge the rechargeable battery. Detailed instructions are in the article 'Charging the SmartPro Compact'.
Cause: The on/off switch is not set to 'on' (I)
Solution: Make sure the on/off switch on the side of the robot is set to on ("I") and the robot is connected to the charger or plugged into the docking station. After a few seconds a charging light will light up on the on/off button on top of the robot when successfully connected.
Cause: The small plug is still inserted in the socket on the robot
Solution: The robot does not work on mains power. It only works on its rechargeable battery. Therefore, always disconnect the adapter from the robot and the mains before use.

Yea I said it…cuffing season is officially over!!
Are you really that surprised?
Now that the weather is heating up many people (men and women) are looking forward to what the summer has to offer….'BAIT'. People are ditching the people that they have invested time, money and bodily fluids for during the cold/harsh winter times for something new.
I was discussing with a friend how many people may have felt slighted or even surprised that the person that they were cuddling with in the winter months has somehow distanced themselves or neglected them. How could this happen? They thought it going somewhere…shoot maybe a relationship may have transpired; but unfortunately, that person will never know.
Yea…tough situation.
Has that ever happened to me before. To be honest, yes it has. Only difference was that I spotted it from a mile away. I knew that the weather was warming up and that the lack of text and phone calls from him were a signal that I should spread my wings with my dignity still in tact. Was I surprised? Somewhat. There was no conversation to discuss what route we were going, we were just two people who enjoyed spending time with each other; nothing more… nothing less.
So how do you prepare for the sudden shift that is known as un-cuffing? Well the first thing is to know the 3 common signs; from there, you can decide to continue on the path of the unknown or take advantage of the warm weather and meet someone new who is worth it…worth you.
So She/He may be pulling a Houdini act on you and you're not sure, here are 3 ways to figure it all out:
- Text/Calls Have Increasingly Slowed Down or Just Stopped: This is self explanatory but for those who may be confused, I'll explain. When you start dating someone and numbers have been exchanged, you are texting and calling… frequently. It is the introductory phase, the getting to know someone stage. You are setting up dates, figuring out the person and the communication lines are open. As the dates continue, and the nature of the relationship expands than the texts or phone calls can increase or decrease depending on the couple. Those months when it is cold and cuffing season is in full effect that person is not concerned about what may be out there if they have a consistent person who can provide them what they need…short term intimacy. As the weather changes from Winter to Spring, if that person intentions in the beginning weren't to be serious than count yourself out; there is no way that the person you are dating is going to continue dating you when it gets warm, unless it's for a "booty call".
- No Longer Going Out on Dates or Hanging Out: Those nights of getting ready to see the person you are dating are diminishing or non-existent. When trying to figure out when your next date is, you get trumped with the "Work has picked up", "I'm really busy", "I'm not sure to be honest". Yup, that is your answer right there. Yes, there are times when someone can be busy but if it is ALL the time. Wake up call, they are not that into you. Sorry.
- The Fade Away: Things are going great and then boom, you are no longer hearing from this person. It doesn't happen immediately, it takes time. This person calls less and less, texts less and less, shoot….you start to forget how this person looks like. Some may be blind-sided by it and some may have caught on from the beginning. This is the take the hint, I'm a coward and can't express to you that I am no longer interested, so instead of having a discussion about it like a grown up, I am going to fade into the oblivion. This to me just shows the type of person you were dealing with, thank God that you no longer have to deal with someone like that!
Things like this can hurt especially if you liked someone but you have to understand that Spring is here and what a great way to start fresh and new. You never know who you may meet! Out with the old and in with the new! So don't lounge around and analyze what went wrong, go out there and meet people!
Have you ever faded black on someone or had it done to you? Were you a participant in the cuffing season? If so, now that the weather is warming up, would you continue to keep dating that person or would you spread your wings and interest?

Nov – Dec 2014
This was the 3rd in a series of Agro Policy Performance Barometer (APPB) reports that the Ghana Trade and Livelihood Coalition (GTLC) has published in the last 3 years. This report is focused on the role of small scale agriculture in sustainable development amidst its recent global resurgence in the development policy agenda after decades of neglect. The report focus on addressing whether it is a mere political talk or are there real efforts being made to target investment to small scale agriculture productivity, incomes and livelihood improvement. Data collection and analysis in regards to 2 crops- rice and tomato, provide a window through which the GTLC assessed the level of commitment that government is putting to invest in small scale agriculture and ensuring that the investment transforms productivity in the sector. We processed the data and compiled the first draft of the report.

The most fruitful game-viewing period in Africa is in the dry season.
Permanent water supplies assemble animals and the vegetation becomes thinned out. This optimum safari season usually includes winter (May – August) and the hot spring months of September and October.
The climate is comfortable in the dry winter months of May, June, July and August. Then the daytime temperatures are mild and the nights a little cool. An ideal opportunity for animal viewing in the top safari locations of southern Africa, because the shrubs and trees don't have so many leaves to obstruct the view.
Given that it hardly ever rains in winter, the animals must come to the waterholes to drink in the mornings and afternoons and can easily be observed from a vehicle or hide.
The grass can be long in some areas after the rains; therefore game viewing at these times can be difficult.
In the warmer months most animals find shelter during the heat of the day. Most safari activities take place in the early morning and late afternoon that maximize the chance of encountering animals when they are the most active.
For bird watching, the summer months are the best, when migratory birds are in residence, this is generally between October and March.
Cape Town's best weather is during February, March & April, however the spring months of August and September are a rewarding time to visit when flowers and whales are in abundance.

Buttock implant cost varies, though the average cost in 2007, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, was $4,788. This is only the surgeon's fee, and other fees such as facility, anesthesia, and medication fees must be taken into account.
If you are considering having buttock implant surgery but want to explore more about the financing options available before you make your decision, PLEASE CLICK HERE. You can discuss your financial options with your surgeon, and find out if there are any loans of flexi-payment plans available to you.
You may be a suitable candidate for buttock implants if:
Buttock implant (buttock augmentation, gluteal augmentation) is the surgical insertion of artificial implants into the buttocks in order to enhance their size and shape.
Buttock implants are used to make the buttocks larger and shapelier, and can also provide individuals with underdeveloped buttocks with a more proportionate figure. During the buttock implant procedure, an incision is made under the buttock cheek or down the buttock crease. The buttock implant doctor then creates a "pocket", and inserts the butt implants. Sometimes, liposuction will be performed at the same time. The buttock implant operation takes two to three hours to complete under general anesthetic, or local anesthetic with sedation.
Step 1 - Anesthesia
When you wake up after butt implant surgery, you will feel tired, sore, and stiff, and have swelling and bruising around your buttock area. You may be prescribed an antibiotic, pain medication and an anti-inflammatory medication. You will wear a compression garment, which will be removed a few days after butt implant surgery.
During buttock implant recovery time, rest as much as possible, and drink plenty of fluids. You will be able to resume sedentary work within a few days to a week. Avoid physical exertion for several weeks.
The stitches will come out within a week to ten days, and swelling will gradually subside over several weeks. The results will then become apparent.
Buttock implant side effects include:

Before starting to write any research paper, you need to take into consideration several points that will make the outlook of your paper more promising. Bullying in school can create a good essay. In this section we will take a look at some of the points you need to go over if you are planning to write a paper on this subject.
Hints for writing a great research paper on bullying in schools:
You need to sketch out the complete credentials of the bullied person so that you can explicitly maintain a record and state the details of the person of the bullied. In a similar way you need to also create a complete profile of the bully too for the similar reasons.
You also need to consider the fact that some of the bullied students later continue to bully other people. This creates a closed loop. If you find this fact in accordance with your work, you need to create a hypothesis as well as determine the psychological reasons behind this process. This can prove vital in cases and help you understand how to curtail this process.
With the introduction of the internet, cyber bullying is one the rise. You need to take into consideration that cyber bullying is on the rise and clearly state the effects it has on the students. You also need to record the instances of how these crimes takes place.
Before starting the dissertation you would need to first define the concept of bullying. There should not be any flaws in your definition otherwise it will create a wrong impact on your study.
You need to create an extensive study on all the activities that bullies take part in. This should also have study to establish these facts.
Your work should also record all the reactions that people have whenever they see other get bullied.
Make sure that you come up with a conclusion that provides a complete conclusion to your work. Never leave it abruptly otherwise readers will not be able to understand all the investigation you have gone through.
These are some of the points you need to go through before you complete your research paper on bullying.

|Swamp City
|Primary Residents
|Matoran, swamp Rahi
|Bio-Land, Great Swamp
|In good shape, growing
Swamp City was once the city with most of bad fame. It has started to become more popular, though, during time.
The city smells awful because of the Great Swamp. The Great Swamp is also the reason why it's hard to get to the city. Airships are the most popular way of travelling there. The city also swarms with tiny insects coming from the swamp which harrass the inhabitants.
Nevertheless, Swamp City has become more popular in many ways and more and more Matoran move there. The city is also very well protected, it has great walls all over the city, separating the swamp from the city.
Swamp City also has very sophisticated sewer systems and the sanitary is being improved all the time.
Swamp City is the newest city in Bio-Land, built after the first two. It had bad fame for it's humidity, smell, unpleasant environment but has since become more popular.
Recently Swamp City has began to prepare for war because of the Spiders of Doom attack in Tofug City.

"AN ANTI-CONCEPT IS AN an artificial, unnecessary and rationally unusable term designed to replace and obliterate some legitimate concept." Indeed, that's generally why the anti-concept was witch-doctored up in the first place -- to dismiss ideas without even allowing them a hearing.
So-called "hate speech" is an anti-concept witch-doctored up to obliterate free speech. The process is working.
So-called "hate speech" is said to be free speech that is "offensive" to some party. Yet free speech that is inoffensive hardly needs the protection of law at all: it is only speech that does offend that even needs the law's protection. The right to speak freely is so important because it is often speech that does offend some parties that society most urgently needs to hear.
"What does this amount to in practice? It means that whenever a member of some group finds an idea 'offensive' or feels that it will produce hatred against his collective, the government has the power to ban the idea. This is the death of free speech. By the non-objective standard of 'hate speech,' any idea can be banned... The entire sphere of thought, in other words, becomes politicised."

What is the allow-fail-through option used for?
Product and Software: This article applies to all Aruba controllers and ArubaOS versions.
allow-fail-through: When this option is configured, an authentication failure with the first server in the group causes the controller to attempt authentication with the next server in the list. The controller attempts authentication with each server in the ordered list until either an authentication is successful or the list of servers in the group is exhausted.
For example, if the server-group "ArubaLab" has two servers configured, enabling allow-fail-through makes the controller check both the servers for authentication. This is especially helpful if one server is down.
aaa server-group "ArubaLab"
auth-server Server-1
auth-server Server-2
Note: If the databases for both the servers are identical, then there is no point in configuring 'allow-fail-through'. It can even delay authentication time if "allow-fail-through" is checked and all servers point to the same database.
fail-over: Fail-over is always enabled. Fail-over means is that if the first auth-server is not reachable (time-out), the second server will be checked. That is the difference between fail-over and fail-through
I have problem with enable RADIUS fail-through for 802.1X authentication.
By uknown and not my concern we have 2 domains:
We don´t want to use Dot1X termination on the ONLYONE controller (yes we have just one for all).
We don´t have ClearPa$$ server, we use Just one NPS in one domain and other NPS in the other domain (help is welcome to proxy config by the way).
We want to use that example but seems like doesn´t works without "Dot1X termination" and/or something is missing.
Any help is welcome.

Infertility Rates
Omega Family Global provides this background information on infertility as a courtesy to its clients and site visitors. If you have any questions, please contact us. Global Frequency of Infertility Global infertility rates are difficult to determine, due to the presence of both male and female factors and how infertility is defined. However, according to the World Health Organization, global rates of infertility have not declined in the past decade. In December 2012 the World Health Organization published pooled results of 277 studies on the subject of infertility. The WHO used survey data to calculate the prevalence of and trends in.Read More

Martha Stewart's Macaroni and Cheese
We decided to celebrate "World Vegetarian Day" yesterday with a hearty vegetarian entree. This macaroni is cheesy and crusty and saucy and flavorful and not terribly difficult or time-consuming. I grated the cheese and tore up the bread a little earlier in the day, to get it to come together even more quickly. I also […]

Bacon and Butternut Pasta
This was really yummy, but we are a household (mostly) of veggie-loving folks.

Seared Scallops and Herb Butter Sauce
These scallops (recipe here) were really easy and tasty. I don't know why, though, the recipe says to use a separate saucepan to make the sauce. I would take advantage of all of the crusty caramelizing in the shallot pan and just make the sauce in there. I suppose since this sauce is kind of […]

I never thought of myself as a matchmaker, but here I am celebrating the union of 2 recipes : Lorraine Pascal's coffee and walnut cake with Nopi's coffee and pecan financiers. It is a promising marriage in my opinion, offering you the best of both worlds : Lorraine's strong suits being the use of standard ingredients and Nopi's the lighter Chantilly cream.
For the sponge
- 175 g very soft butter plus extra for greasing
- 100g pecan nuts
- 200g flour
- 200g light brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 medium eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- coffee shots
For the coffee Chantilly
- 500 ml heavy whipping cream
- 75g light brown sugar
- coffee shots
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees ( 350 F)
- Bake the pecan nuts for about 15 mins – keep an eye on the oven to make sure they're just taking a bit of color.
- Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Then, add the butter ( melted ), eggs and vanilla extract.
- For the coffee, I've played it by ear, and added 1 shot of our Nespresso machine coffee. You can make it stronger if you wish. With 1 shot, the flavor is present but not overwhelming, and as we have a toddler I needed to keep it light. Add the coffee to the mix.
- Chop thinly the pecan nuts and add to the mix. Then pour the mix in a greased baking tin, and bake for about 40 minutes. Again, I always keep an eye on the baking as timing will depend on the size of your tin. The narrower, the longer.
- In the meantime, prepare the coffee Chantilly : whisk the whipping cream with the sugar and another shot of coffee, until firm. Set aside in the fridge so that it keep it's consistency.
- Once the cake is baked you can either split it in half ( I did not because my tin is narrow and deep), let it cool a little and spread a layer of Chantilly in the middle. If your cake is not that thick, you can simply enjoy with a spoon of coffee Chantilly on the side.
The result was praised by our own little panel of tasters made of one coffee addict, a pregnant woman and a toddler. I believe we can conclude this marriage is promising and is likely to have wide offspring.

Based out of Akbarpur in the Ambedkar Nagar district in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, the Awadh Mutineers' story is as heart-warming as it is inspirational. Founded back in 2013, the Mutineers is Akbarpur's only club. It was founded with the aim of promoting football in these parts, and to provide sports training and education to kids belonging to underprivileged backgrounds.
Over the course of two years, the club has fully supported the education and football training of twenty kids from different families across the city. Over this time, the children have gradually improved in the sport, and have even tasted success in local matches. This year however, the management felt it was time to test their talents outside of their hometown, and what better place for the next chapter of their story than the capital city of Delhi. The boys had never travelled outside their village, but being the confident and determined bunch that they are, they couldn't wait!

So, the last day. We want to make the most of time available today. The first part of today's route takes us along the Atlantic coast through the village of Letterfrack just outside the town of Clifden as you ride along the Sky Road and the Connemara Loop.
We always stop in the village of Cleggan for a spot of lunch in Oliver's seafood restaurant before heading out on what has to be my favorite 8 miles of the entire tour. Riding between lakes and overlooking the Atlantic coastline. We even get to go swimming here when the weather offers. I really need to upload some video of this section just to show you what a smashing place it is to cycle. Back to the cycling. The route continues through the village of Letterfrack and onto Tully Cross. This route will eventually takes you to Leenaun . This will be the end point for the cycling. We will transfer the group to Galway city for the final night of the tour. Galway city is located about 45 minutes from Maaum Cross. Tonight we stay in the Meyrick hotel overlooking Eyre Square and only a short walk from the cultural heart of Galway city, Quay street.
We will also have dinner there at 6.30PM
hotel in Galway city for the final night of the tour is pretty special.
Galway is situated about one and a half hours North of Shannon airport. If your flight departs early on Saturday morning I can arrange to get you closer to Shannon Airport on Friday evening, after the farewell dinner. This will eliminate a very early start on Saturday morning. Let me know what your departure plans are and I can advise you of the options available. If your flight departs late on Saturday or anytime on Sunday you can spend some time in Galway city and take the bus which leaves every hour for Shannon airport. Talk to me before you make your flight arrangements so I can advise you how to maximize your time in Ireland.
If you are planning to spend a few more days in Ireland its handy to know Galway is a transport hub. We have a train station, bus station and local airport in Galway. You can also arrange car hire if you wish to do so. Just let us know what your time frame is and we can assist and advise you in relation to a car tour of the remainder of the country. If your arrival flight originally landed in Shannon you should check out the option of departing from Dublin airport. This would streamline your continued exploration of Ireland after the bike tour

the perfect storm...
Globalisation of big business.
Population explosion.
Climate change.
Radicalisation of politics and religion.
A perfect storm.
The keyboard is mightier than the machine gun... The political, philosophical and general outpourings of a troubled soul living in Australia and blogging his Vietnam veteran's head off.
Nothing in this blog can be believed. If you think that anything in this blog is true or factual, you'll need to verify it from another source. Do you understand? No? Then read it again, and repeat this process, until you understand that you cannot sue me for anything you read here. Also, having been sucked into taking part in the mass-murder of more than 3 million Vietnamese people on behalf of U.S. Big Business "interests", I'm as mad as a cut snake (and broke) so it might be a bit silly to try to sue me anyway...
now it is likely that those 5 devloping problems are related. I think in fact that multiple relations exist and are in fact cause-effect relationships to a sufficient extent that one might ALL of the problems if it were possible to eliminate but one or two weaknesses of human nature.
Given the likelihood of that, I am resigned to agreeing with you: it is a storm to capsize the lot of us.
"Don't shot me, I'm just the weather forecaster..."
God, it reads like a wish list.
Santa: What do you want for Christmas little fella? (And don't just say Armageddon; be more specific.)
The Devil: Alright. Oil depletion, the globalisation of big business, a population explosion, climate change, the radicalisation of politics and religion and, last but not least, a perfect fucking storm. And Santa, don't forget any of this shit, yeah?
Santa: Does your mother know you've got such a crude tongue?
The Devil: I'm an orphan you maggot.
Ok, I'll be "positive":
Don't worry about oil depletion. We'll rediscover what Wilhelm Reich and Nikola Tesla were into, and provide unlimited, free electromagnetic energy for all.
Trust the global corporate giants, they have your interests at heart. They wouldn't know how to spell "slavery" if their lives depended on it.
There is no population problem. We will grow all the protein needed in huge petri dishes. Failing that we will eat the people whose lands we will need to acquire.
Climate change is a good thing. It will lead to ethnic cleansing and the gene pool will be so much better off afterwards. Trust me, human nature knows what it's doing.
Once we've killed all the radicals we don't approve of, things will be so much better. Kill all terrorists and extremists!!!
That which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!!!
We know we're right, get out of our way!!!
Yo !!!
(How am I doin' ???)
You are doing very well.
A sub-dot-point: deregulation of international capital flows.
Didn't Keating do a bit of that by opening the shark gates to the Australian economy?
Heh - see what I posted a couple of minutes ago at VVB!
Phil, I've repeated the comment I made on your blog here so that readers of this blog can also interact with me about if they so choose.
You said "The argument goes that without protection, we stop doing things that don't add up economically and we will specialise in the things we do well."
When the naffers finally wake up, if ever, this little "wisdom" will be re-written thus:
The truth is, that without protection, we stop doing things that guarantee our freedom and we specialise in the things which destroy it. And the bastards who sold us into slavery propagandised their evil doings by calling them Free Trade Agreements.
How'm I doin'?

Cindy Behr is a horny blonde babe from the UK. She started showing up in dirty movies around 2007, first appearing in Blonde Confessions. It was quite a debut, as she gets banged in a 7-way group scene which also includes Amy Anderssen (as Amy Azurra). Cindy never seems overwhelmed by all her partners in the sequence, and her sexual agility helped make her an immediate star. Of course, it helped that she had an incredible body and one of the most seductively beautiful faces in the business.
2010's BatFXXX: Dark Knight Parody remains one of Cindy's most popular films. It took home the 2010 AVN Award for Best Parody: Drama, and was nominated for the same award from XRCO that year. One of Cindy's partners in her massive group fuck scene, Paul Chaplin, was also nominated for the 2010 AVN Award for Best Actor: Video. Cindy gets a poker chip stuffed in her pussy in this freaky gangster orgy.
Group sex seemed to be her specialty. In Dawn Rising, she's in an all-girl threesome with Anaya Leon and another babe. Her status in the industry is unknown, but unfortunately Cindy Behr has not made a new movie since 2013. We hope she'll get back to work, but in the meantime her extensive catalog will keep us busy for a while.

Owning a car comes with a lot of hassles and responsibilities. Being an expensive and prized possession, it is only natural to attribute a heavy pecuniary value to its safety. Be it a damage or a loss, a car insurance will provide coverage against a lot of predictable but unavoidable risks.
MSIG Car Insurance Singapore provides comprehensive insurance cover for the insured car, the policyholder/authorised driver and third parties. You can also cover it against fire, theft and damages arising from vandalism.
Types of Car Insurance Provided by MSIG
For private vehicle owners, MSIG offers two categories of policy covers with basic and premium available in both the categories. While MotorMax Plus and UMax Plus offer comprehensive coverage, MotorMax and UMax offer third-party, fire and theft coverage, subject to the restrictions of the policy terms and conditions.
Features and Benefits
As one of the top auto insurance providers in the local industry, MSIG has tried to personalise every plan to suit the specific needs of the users. Some of the features and benefits of the plans are as follows:
- MotorMax Plus and UMax Plus are premium car insurance covers that offer first-rate benefits like:
- Car loan protection in case of death of the policyholder
- Transport allowance in case the repair of the insured vehicle from an authorised workshop takes more than three days
- Complete replacement of a vehicle which has been conceded to be irreparable following heavy damage, provided the vehicle is less than 12 months old
- UMax is the first auto insurance in Singapore which aims to reward you for careful driving. Just get a telematics device installed at no cost at a VICOM workshop. VICOM workshops are usually conveniently located throughout Singapore and one such workshop will take a maximum of 30 minutes to fit the device. You'll find location details of VICOM workshops in the UMax infopack.
- The device will continue to monitor your driving behaviour and rate you based on it. You'll also get feedback based on your driving style on a per-trip basis. You can access your driving scores for up to 6 months from the insurer's website or mobile app.
- The scores will be used to determine your excesses at the time of claim and also your renewal premiums. The app will also help you locate your car anywhere in Singapore and Western Malaysia, provided you a one-push 24/7 assistance button for medical and car assistance. It also gives you real-time updates and tips to improve your driving skills.
- You'll also get 24/7 roadside assistance for car lockout and towing services. You'll also have access to a personalised insurance fee quote which can be saved online and retrieved within 30 days. In case the car needs to be towed after an accident, MSIG Insurance will bear the cost of up to S$500 for towing the car to the nearest repairer or to deliver it to you post-repair.
- The products discussed in this article will not only indemnify you but also indemnify your authorised driver and employer if they aren't covered by any other insurance and provided the terms stated in the policy document has been fulfilled.
- The policy is also protected under the policy owner's protection scheme, a scheme that is managed by the Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation (SDIC). This indemnifies your investments in the extreme case where your insurer fails to pay your assured amount due to insolvency. The cover is, however, subject to certain caps.
- While the policy schedule may mention a standard excess, UMax plans offer you a chance to lower your effective standard excess by improving your drive scores. So, you get rewarded for your safe driving behaviour in the form of lower renewal premium and NCD.
No-Claim Discounts Offered by MSIG Car Insurance
MSIG Car Insurance plans offer reasonable no-claim discounts on the renewal premium of your policy if you haven't made a claim during the period of insurance immediately preceding the renewal. Check out the table below:
|Period of Insurance
|Discount Percentage
|The immediately preceding year before renewal
|The immediately preceding two consecutive years before renewal
|The immediately preceding three consecutive years before renewal

If you make a claim at a time when your no-claim discount is 40% or 50%, the no-claim discount will subsequently be reduced to 10% or 20% respectively. However, if it is equal to or less than 30%, the entire no-claim discount facility shall be revoked.
If the company accedes to your request for a transfer of interest, the period of no-claim discount with you won't accrue to the benefit of your transferee.

- The company shall not be liable to indemnify the policyholder if the damage or loss could be directly or indirectly traced to riots or strikes.
MSIG Promotions for Car Insurance
MSIG, as already informed, sells two types of car insurance plans. These types can again be categorised into basic and premium. Promotions are currently available only on the UMax category of cards and not on the MotorMax category.
You'll receive a cash rebate of S$100 on opting for the UMax plan and S$150 on opting for the UMax Plus plan through a cheque sent to your mailing address within 30 days of the successful installation of a telematics device as described in the policy document.
The offer is valid up to 30 June 2018. Some of the important terms and conditions of the promotion are as follows:
- This cash rebate offer can't be clubbed with any other ongoing promotion, discount, offer, rebate or privilege.
- The rebate can't be transferred or exchanged for cash, credit or any other item in part or full.
- If you're a first-time applicant for the UMax or UMax Plus insurance plans, you're an existing MSIG customer who is opting for either of the two plans for the first time, or you're an existing UMax or UMax Plus customer who is renewing the policy within the promotion period, you become eligible for the cash rebate.
- If for some reason you decide to cancel your UMax or UMax Plus policy, you must understand that the company reserves the right to deduct the prorated value of the cash rebate from the refund premium available under the policy, if applicable. You may be eligible for a policy cancellation refund only if you have made no claims under the policy and the refund premium is at least S$25.
How to Make a Claim
Following the right procedures while making a claim is necessary for success. Given below are some general guidelines that the company recommends its policyholders to follow when making a claim:
- If you or any passenger in the car has been injured, remember to inform the police and call for emergency medical assistance. MSIG provides emergency medical and towing services.
- Don't remove the damaged vehicle from the scene of the accident before collecting and documenting the evidences. Move it only if the injured need to be rescued.
- Don't forget to collect photo evidence of the entire incident. Take photos from different angles. You can approach any of the MSIG-authorised workshops or an IDAC centre if you need assistance with downloading of the photos.
- Don't forget to collect the relevant details of the eyewitnesses of the incident.
- Exchange number and collect the necessary particulars of the other driver, if your vehicle has collided with another. Don't forget to collect the details and registration numbers of the other vehicle, too.
- Take your damaged vehicle to an MSIG-approved workstation within 24 hours or by the next working day. The workshops authorised to repair your vehicle may vary depending on the plan you have opted for. Don't forget to carefully read the policy document to know which workshops are approved. If you fail to take your insured vehicle to an authorised workshop within 24 hours, you might risk losing the no-claim discount (NCD), if applicable on your policy. Failing to report the accident within the specified timeframe may also affect your right to make a claim under the policy.
- If you're making a claim under your own car insurance policy, you can ask the authorised workshop to submit a quotation with MSIG. The claim request has to be filed within 14 days of the discovery or occurrence of the damage.
- If you're making a third-party claim, bring in your vehicle to an MSIG-Singapore-authorised workshop. MSIG will invite the insurer of the third party to visit the workshop within 2 working days from the date of accident and examine the extent of the damages of your vehicle. If your MSIG car insurance plan allows you to take your damaged vehicle to some other workshop, it's recommended that you get the third-party insurer (in case of involvement of a third party) to visit the workshop for a pre-repair survey. This will ensure that your claim isn't prejudiced.
There is no need for a claim form. All you need to do is visit an authorised service centre or an IDAC to report the accident.
The following are the documents you need to submit at different stages of your claim request or for making different types of claim:
- For Reporting the Accident to an IDAC Centre or an Authorised Workshop
- The driving license of the driver at the time of the accident
- Police report, where applicable

MSIG Car Insurance Renewal
Go through the fine print of your policy document to find out more about the renewal process. The renewal premium may get discounted if NCD applies in your case. For the UMax and UMax Plus plans, your driving score, determined with the help of a telemetric device, will be used to fix your policy excesses and NCD percentages.
How to Cancel Your MSIG Car Insurance?
Your policy can either be cancelled by the company after giving you a sufficient period of notice as per the policy document or by you.
MSIG Singapore has to give you a seven-day notice before terminating the policy. They'll do so by dispatching a registered letter to your last known mailing address. Any refund arising under such a situation will be calculated as follows:
{(Premium x Unexpired Period of Insurance)/Original Period of Insurance}, where the original period of insurance will include any extensions of the policy.
If you want to cancel your MSIG car insurance policy, you'll have to return MSIG the original certificate of motor insurance. Your policy will stand cancelled only from the day the certificate reaches the company and the receipt is acknowledged by them.
Any refund calculated, in this case, will be governed by the formula mentioned below:
{(Premium x Unexpired Period of Insurance x 80%)/Original Period of Insurance}, where the original period of insurance will be deemed to include any extensions of the policy also.
Cancellation refund, if any, will only be paid if no claim has been made under the policy during the period of insurance and the refund premium is less than S$25.

Q: How is the Transport Allowance Benefit calculated?
A: The allowance will only be paid if the time required for repair of the insured vehicle is more than 3 days. If the time taken to repair exceeds 3 days, you'll be provided with an allowance of S$50. You can claim this allowance up to a maximum of 10 days. So, a maximum of S$50x10=S$500 will be reimbursed.
Q: Are commercial vehicles covered under the MSIG motor insurance plans?
A: Commercial vehicles require special forms of insurance cover. MSIG offers coverage for commercial vehicles separately. However, the MotorMax, MotorMax Plus, UMax and the UMax Plus covers are only valid for private vehicles.
Q: Is there any age restriction for a vehicle that I want to get insured under the MSIG car insurance plans?
A: At the time of policy sign-up, your vehicle must be less than 8 years old.
Q: Is there any particular time frame within which the telematics device, mentioned in the policy document, needs to be installed after the purchase of the UMax or UMax Plus plans?
A: The telematics device can be installed for free at a designated VICOM workshop in Singapore after 3 days of issue of the policy cover. The device has to be mandatorily installed within 30 days from the date of issue of the plan.
Q: Will the installed telematics device deplete the battery of my car or affect its performance in any way?
A: Every telematics device is designed to be device-agnostic. They are also designed in a manner that ensures that they consume very low battery power. Hence, these devices shouldn't deplete the battery power of your car or affect its performance in any way.
Q: I understand that the telematics device will collect some data which will be used to arrive at a driving score. What kind of data are collected and analysed?
A: The telematics device will collect data on a per-trip basis. Information such as the trip starting time, trip ending time, total duration of a trip, trip date, average speed of the car throughout the entire trip, the way you corner, brake or accelerate, are collected and analysed. If you follow the safe driving tips, it will help improve your score.
Q: If I buy a new car after the completion of a year, will the drive score of the previous year affect the renewal premium?
A: A new car will have to be covered with a completely new policy and your past driving scores or claim history will have no bearing on it.
Q: Will my car be covered by a MSIG car insurance policy if it is damaged by floods, falling tree branches or trunks, or arson?
A: MotorMax, MotorMax plus, UMax and UMax policies will indemnify you against damage of your vehicle caused by fire, flood or falling of tree. Damage in arson is also covered.
Q: Is the NCD protector available to all policyholders?
A: The NCD protector is an optional benefit. It will only be offered to you if you have a no-claim discount of 50%.
Q: If the applicant of a MSIG car insurance policy wants to make me one of the authorised drivers for his vehicle, will the details of my accumulated demerit points be sought?
A: In the application form, the number of demerit points accumulated by any person who is going to be one of the authorised drivers for the vehicle in question will be sought and cross checked with the relevant authorities, if needed.


text: RalA and RalB proteins are key mediators of oncogenic Ras signaling in human being oncogenesis. dissemination. These results provide a book molecular mechanism underlying the control of cell attack by RalB via a cross-talk with the Rho pathway. In the last 15 years Ral signaling pathway arrived to the front side of the stage as a major player in human being oncogenesis1,2,3. The small GTPase proteins RalA and RalB take action downstream of the Ras oncoproteins; indeed, the direct Ral activators (RalGEFs, Guanine Exchange Factors) are direct focuses on of active Ras. Ral healthy proteins have been involved in a variety of cellular processes (such as motility/attack, apoptosis, cytokinesis and autophagy) and in numerous methods of tumor development (including tumor formation, survival, growth, and metastasis). Some of these functions are shared by the two Rals, others are distinctive. In particular, in cancers, RalA was discovered to end up being required for the anchorage-independent development of growth cells, while RalB was proven to end up being vital for success4, for motility5,6, and for metastasis7,8. Regarding the function of Ral in cell migration, our lab demonstrated that RalB promotes set up of the Exocyst complicated, a main Ral effector, and its localization to the leading advantage buy 17924-92-4 of motile cells6. The Exocyst complicated, constructed of eight subunits (Securities and exchange commission's3, Securities and exchange commission's5, Securities and exchange commission's6, Securities and exchange commission's8, Securities and exchange commission's10, Securities and exchange commission's15, Exo70 and Exo84), mediates the tethering and concentrating on of post-Golgi buy 17924-92-4 secretory vesicles to particular membrane layer sites during polarized exocytosis9. Exocyst is normally molecularly linked to a Rac1 detrimental regulator (the RacGAP SH3BP1, GTPase Causing Proteins)10 and to a Rac1 effector (the Influx Regulatory complicated) (Biondini and buy 17924-92-4 research provides supplied evidences for the recapitulation of the EMT plan during metastasis17. In this function we focused at understanding the interaction between two main members to cancers cell dissemination: the Ral path and the TGF-induced EMT. We utilized as mobile model the lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells that go through a complete EMT upon TGF treatment18. We discovered that for breach in 2-3D Matrigel, in existence of TGF, A549 cells opt for a contractility-driven technique without proteolytic destruction of the ECM, but with generation of grip forces on the ECM rather. In these circumstances, we demonstrated that the RalB/Exocyst signaling axis has an important function in managing contractility by communicating with the RhoGEF GEF-H1, which stimulates the Rho-ROCK-MLC2 path. Outcomes TGF-induced EMT promotes protease-independent dissemination of A549 cells in 2-3D The lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells are a well-established model for EMT research. They go through modern EMT upon TGF treatment18,19. We verified that TGF treatment for 4 times activated EMT both by morphological adjustments (Supplementary Amount Beds1A) and by a change from epithelial to mesenchymal indicators (Supplementary Amount Beds1C). To buy 17924-92-4 enable the complete pay for of EMT-related intrusive behaviors, we treated the cells with TGF for at least 7 times consistently, which allowed a comprehensive rearrangement of actin cytoskeleton and adhesion sites to the substrate (Supplementary Amount Beds1C). To research breach we had taken benefit of the Round Attack Assay (CIA)20 because it allows detailed time-lapse microscopic analysis during the attack process (Fig. 1A). In this assay the cells are in contact with the matrix (Matrigel) both at the dorsal and frontal sides but they ventrally adhere to the bottom-glass dish; consequently it is definitely a 2-3D scenario which mimics a topography that is definitely often observed during malignancy attack RalB manages contractility-driven malignancy dissemination upon TGF excitement via the RhoGEF GEF-H1.

What's the best measurement for success? Happiness
Richard Branson
How happy are you?
How much has your company grossed this quarter?
Which question is more important to you? If you are more concerned about the latter, then one suspects the answer to the former is not going to be very positive.
With this in mind, I was delighted to hear the Bhutanese have introduced a Minister for Happiness.
This Himalayan kingdom has a new measurement of national prosperity too – "gross national happiness". By focussing on people's well-being rather than economic productivity, there is likely to be a knock-on effect for business too. After all, a happy workforce makes for a more successful and productive team.
Success and money can contribute to happiness, but happiness itself is another thing altogether. Words like 'family', 'friends', 'love' and 'laughter' have a lot more to do with happiness than words like 'gross', 'capital' and 'revenue'.
Money is a by-product of bigger, more meaningful goals such as passion, fun and wisdom. As I've said before, have fun, do good, and the money will come.
Perhaps we could learn a thing or two from the Bhutanese and their Minister for Happiness. What other measurements for success are important to you?

The Official Storm game night Coin Toss ceremony is sponsored by Coins & Collectibles at The Empire Mall.
Every Indoor Football League game starts with a Coin Toss. The team captains from each team come to the center of the field, where the referee holds a coin. One player from the visiting team gets to call "heads" or "tails". If that player calls the toss correctly, his team gets to choose one of two privileges:
- Team receives the kickoff: Generally, teams want to start the game on offense and have the opportunity to score as early as possible. They are known as the receiving team. The referee, swinging his leg in a kicking motion, then points to the other team's captains as the kicking team.
- Team defers the kickoff: The team that wins the coin toss can defer and choose to kickoff first. If this happens, the team will automatically receive the ball to start the second half of the game.
The Storm will choose one person at each home game to receive the honor from the referee to serve as the Official Coin Toss representative. Usually the individual is chosen by the Storm's Game Night Sponsor or presented to a special dignitary, if present.

Further, with a wet core, injecting resin was unlikely to provide any real solution to the delamination, as the area would probably delaminate again within a few years.The other solution would be to cut out the delaminated area, replace the coring and then rebuild the glass laminate. This would be an expensive job. It was even more disconcerting when the yard supervisor told me that because the new glass would be relying on secondary bonds it would not have the same strength of the original glass.
