When we fail to get our viewpoints, suggestions or ideas across, we walk away feeling like we have lost. We are letting down ourselves as well as others who can benefit from our contribution. This programme will teach you ways to be more assertive thereby developing a win-win approach to your communication style and adding value to operational improvement.
Excellent Proposal Writing Skills are essential in order to successfully pitch an idea to investors or to request funding. Future projects depend on your proposal document and you have only one chance to get it right. This practical programme will equip you with skills to organise content, improve formatting, and select appropriate words. This workshop is interactive and worksheets, checklists and templates will be provided to delegates.
Change management is an important process for organisations to achieve sustainable results. Attendees of this programme will learn the competencies of an effective change agent and critical success factors for organisational change. Delegates will gain the methodologies and tools for effective change management. This includes a practical model and how to overcome resistance to change.
Customers often judge the entire organisation on their assessment of the service they receive. A good reputation is important for attracting future customers and investors. Competitors may match your prices or products, but an outstanding customer service ethic could become your differentiation factor. This programme will empower delegates with the skills towards giving your organisation a competitive edge through superior customer service.
Effective delegation is essential to increase productivity and fully utilise human resources. Lack of delegation is a top time-waster and time is money. The good news is that right mix of letting go and control is a skill that can be learned. This programme will equip delegates with the approach and implementation steps towards achieving effective delegation.
Your brand is on the line whether it is a trade show, conference, exhibition, product launch, outing, celebration, social, festival, sports or cultural event. Every 'T' must be crossed and every 'I' must be dotted in order to close the gap between expectations and perceptions. This programme will provide practical steps, tools and techniques to run an event with quality results.
We currently have 4 Generations active in the workplace from Baby Boomers to Generations X, Y and Z. Each generation has different, and sometimes conflicting, attitudes, values, ideas and approaches to work. The purpose of this training programme is to create awareness, foster understanding, improve communication and shift paradigms so that our differences can become strengths rather than frustrating obstacles to workflow. Delegates will gain practical value which they can immediately implement for a more productive workplace.
The fruits of an innovative culture include revolutionary patents, improved service delivery, solutions-driven designs, and smarter ways of doing everyday tasks. These improve revenues. Even creative people experience blocks. This programme equips you with techniques to make innovation the norm and to maintain high levels of creativity.
Effective communication is at the heart of all our professional and personal relationships. This programme will provide an understanding of communication styles and preferences of ourselves, our colleagues and our clients. You will learn why we sometimes miscommunicate, misunderstand, and push the wrong buttons. You will gain practical techniques to communicate more effectively and assertively.
An organization or project without clear and communicated goals, plans and measurements, is like sailing without a rudder. You will move but be buffeted by the winds haphazardly to and fro. This programme will provide you with the skills and measurement tools to reach your destination via the quickest route and with all passengers aboard.
Never has this world begged for better leaders than at this time. The complex facets of the Dark side and the Right side of leadership are examined. Leadership myths are exposed. Leadership is more of an art than a science and this programme provides insight to the values and behaviours which will make you a great leader.
The role of a manager is challenging because the greater part of the job is dealing with people and our human resources cannot be controlled like other resources. This workshop does not involve copious management theories but cuts to the chase by providing practical to-the-point tried and tested universal truths about organizational communities of people.
Your products and services are competing in a sea of competition. Marketing remains on the National scarce skills list because it gets muddled up with sales and there are constant industry changes. As your organisation grows and your brand evolves, your brand can become watered down. This programme will equip marketing staff with skills to woo and wow your customers.
Business meetings loose effectiveness when they are not well planned and recorded. This workshop will equip you with tips and techniques for productive and meaningful minute-taking.
Unfortunately meetings feature consistently in the list of top time-wasters. Meetings are essential to further an organisation's operations but become meaningless when they are not effectively run. This workshop will equip you with tips and techniques for productive, focused and meaningful meetings.
Staff in new positions, interns and new staff members need mentors. Assigned mentors know the job but may be new to the mentorship role. If increased productivity, decreased mistakes and staff retention are the desirable results, then mentorship training is essential and this programme will provide the skills.
Performance is defined as 'functional effectiveness'. Nonperformance is defined as 'dysfunctional ineffectiveness'. Learn techniques to sustain our own motivation and level out the Pareto principle of 80/20 so that the entire team is motivated to accomplish tasks and projects according to schedule.
The only way to avoid conflict is to never say or do anything. This programme will provide you with several methods to deal with conflict including how to manage serious conflict that has escalated. These skills will empower you to replace anger, frustration, anxiety and mistrust with a win-win resolution which leads to increased productivity.
Presenting in front of colleagues, clients and various stakeholders can be daunting. Practice does not always make it perfect because we unknowingly repeat the same mistakes. Learn how to present with confidence and impact.
Problems can be opportunities or threats and if misinterpreted could lead to downtime and disaster. In the same way, autocratic dictatorial leaders have lead organisations to breaking point. It is worth the time to learn and internalise steps to take when problems arise and decisions are demanded. This workshop is both practical and interactive so that delegates will be empowered to implement steps confidently and swiftly.
Your organisation's first impression will never be forgotten. This programme will assist receptionists to build rapport with visitors and callers. Receptionist should look and be calm and we cover techniques to self-manage and stay organised. Delegates will know how to interact with all stakeholders professionally and politely, even in difficult situations.
The sales force is your frontline and make or break relationships and ultimately bring in the revenue! This interactive programme will provide many tips and tools for both new and experienced sales team members to escalate success.
Professionally and personally, we all have so much on our plate. As the corporate world becomes increasingly competitive and deadline-driven, less allowances are made for the feelings of individuals. Gain techniques to handle everything thrown our way, to function in multi-tasking chaos, and not loose ourselves in the journey. Learn to work with a de-stress tool to regain balance and look forward to a busy schedule.
The perception of our communication directly affects the perception of the orgaisation we represent. As soon as we pick up the phone, we accept 100% of the responsibility for the call. Telephonic and written correspondence may be the first contact with your customers, and it should not be the last. This interactive workshop will equip delegates with the skills to control what they say and how they say it.
Time cannot be stored or stopped and every minute that passes is gone forever. As such, time is the most valuable of all resources and the only way to maximise its potential is to manage it well. This programme will equip you with strategies and methods towards improved efficiency and effectiveness.
According to a national legal mandate, every employer must submit their Workplace Skills Plan to their primary focus Seta by 30 April every year. Correct and timely submission of the WSP is central to the payment of mandatory grants and national research on skills. Failure to do so leads to forfeiting opportunities for grants. There are codes, tables and terminologies to navigate. This programme assists organisations to make the submission process smooth and on time.
Team members who play together, stay together! This Team building is about collective problem solving and infusing FUN and WOW into your team! Team members are guaranteed to leave energised and excited to apply proven winning strategies for improving morale, ideation and workflow i.e. a healthy balance of their social, intellectual and physical input which benefits team results.
• As each organization is unique, a scope will be agreed upon prior to the planning session.
• One working day of interactive work with the management team.
• Typed draft presented to the organisation's management team within 2 to 3 working days after the session.
• Final document presented to management within 2 to 3 working days after all input of draft copy received.
A. When an organization wants to revise or create their Business Plan, management should begin with Strategic Planning. The process of Strategic Planning results in defining competitive advantage, clearly describes an organization's overall and overriding core purpose, structure, mission, vision, values, and strategic objectives. The Strategic Plan can become the introductory section of a Business Plan as it sets strategic direction for the organisation.
B. In order to either create or update a Business Plan, an organization should already have a clear vision, mission, related values, and strategic objectives. A Business Plan is a communication tool for internal operations and for raising capital. It clearly describes business actions for a specified period. A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) should be piloted which assists to determine priorities in terms of industry and market positioning. From this, the organization also describes its capacity development and strategic operations.
C. When an organization has a sound Business Plan which is used as a communication tool, and everyone in the organization talks and walks the vision, mission and values, they may be ready for Scenario Planning. The result of Scenario planning is rediscovering the original entrepreneurial power of creative foresight in contexts of accelerated change, greater complexity, and genuine uncertainty. A Scenario Plan results from the management team following a facilitated process and forms one of the support documents for your Business Plan. The advantage of Scenario Planning is that the process prepares for the unthinkable by asking 'why?', 'why not?', 'what?' and 'what if?'. A good Scenario Plan details answers to the right questions and promotes proaction rather than reaction.

Picosure advanced laser technology, now with dual wavelength 532 and 755 nm handpieces.
Bare Again was the first clinic to bring the Picosure pico-second laser to Adelaide. Picosure represents a quantum leap forward in laser tattoo removal technology. Bare Again now goes one step further with the newly released 532 nm handpiece . This remarkable multiple wavelength laser now covers the entire colour spectrum with picosecond technology, resulting in more rapid removal of all tattoo types and shades.
With over 3 years experience with pico-second technology, the Bare Again team has treated over 1,000 tattoos. Every tattoo is different and our experience allows us to tailor the laser settings for optimal results. The correct spot size, boost settings and frequencies chosen are critical to a successful outcome. There is a lot more to tattoo removal than pointing and firing a laser.
Cosmetic tattoos represent a special case due to the types of ink used. Care must be taken using the laser on these inks and in the delicate areas of the face where these tattoos are usually located. Over time we have developed a safe treatment protocol for treating cosmetic tattoos and are more than happy to offer this service to clients.
We also specialise in tattoos that have failed to be removed by Q-switched and other lasers.
Whether you desire complete removal or simply fading to allow new art to be done, please consider Picosure at Bare Again, quite simply Adelaide's best laser tattoo removal.


Eeek! Just booked my ticket to the MumsNet WorkFest 2014 in London. Anyone else going and want to meet up?
Might be nice to have some friendly faces in a crowd.
They're doing an Early Bird ticket until Sunday 27th April, and the event itself is on Saturday 7th June. There are also reduced price tickets for unemployed people, which is nice.
The event is billed as "advice and inspiration on going back to work, changing your career and starting your own business". There will be a variety of talks/workshops through out the day (with different talks aimed at different needs: returner, business starter, etc) from an impressive list of speakers, and one-to-one sessions if you want/need them. The programme looks great.
And just for the record, this post is not sponsored (or anything else-ed) by MumsNet, I'm just gushing with enthusiasm.
... but nearly everyone seems to have got more infrequent compared to say, a year ago. And then, Melissa at All Buttoned Up mentioned a post on Kottke.org (which I had never heard of (sorry!)) suggesting that the blog form was dead, having effectively been superseeded by things like Pinterest and Twitter, and a whole host of other things which I never seem to have time for.
... and in the meantime, I have added even more blogs to my ridiculously overworked feedreader.
... but I ended up deciding that there were only one or two blog subscriptions that I could really do without so the whole exercise ended up being somewhat unnecessary. But interesting.
Anyway. This is possibly me trying to justify being completely useless at posting anything at the moment, but perhaps the fact that I'm managing to type this means things are on the up.
Is this where an American would say "go figure"?

Swedish building giant Skanska has signed a fixed price contract to construct a the Copyright Building for property regenerators and investors Derwent London.
Designed by Piercy & Company, the 9,800m² scheme comprises a mixture of office and retail space. Skanska UK is delivering the design, construction, mechanical and electrical engineering and ceiling installation within this development.
The company said it's targeting the BREEAM Excellent environmental standard and will use sustainable approaches throughout the construction phase and installing solar panels on the building's green roof.
Works are expected to be completed in autumn 2017.


Reliable and punctual delivery, consistent quality – even for customer requests on short notice or modifications – minimization of stock and improved transparency as the basis for process optimization: the ambitious company objectives of Southwire, North America's largest wire and cable manufacturer, called for a well-designed Manufacturing Execution System (MES) specifically tailored to this industrial sector. The wire and cable giant found what it was looking for at ADVARIS. The software specialist from Bruchsal, Germany scored with expertise acquired over many years and standard solutions that are precisely tailored to the wire and cable sector—thus contributing to the realization of Southwire's business objectives. Guy Brassard, Chief Information Officer at Southwire Carollton, commented on the long-term project, "In future, we want to have greater transparency in production processes across our locations and to be able to trace back every product through the entire production process." Besides precise information at the factories, the company was particularly interested in options for quality surveillance and control.
Brassard regards the high level of flexibility as a further major advantage of the MES from ADVARIS: "The system could be adapted to the existing structures at Southwire—on this basis, we were able to make positive changes to our business Processes." This includes detailed production scheduling with the aim of adherence to due dates and the minimization of machine set-up times. The continuing optimization of the sequence of production orders is shown at the touchscreen terminals in the production hall. The recorded production data include barcode scanning of every individual drum with the exact length, machine run-time, material usage and quality test values. Process data, such as production speed and the lengths produced are acquired directly from the machine controls (SPS) via interfaces.


My absolute favorite time of year is upon us again—lovely, crisp, cool autumn. Every city, every area has its peak times, and autumn in New York is the absolute best time to be here. The humidity of the summer is finally gone, the leaves are starting to turn their beautiful colors and the light foods of the summer give way to the hearty, warming foods of fall.
For this edition, I focus on what I call the "unsung heroes" of produce: root vegetables. These are vegetables that we have all the time and take for granted—carrots, parsnips, onions, celeriac, beets, turnips, and of course, the dizzying array of potatoes, plus their vitamin C packed cousins sweet potatoes and yams. These staples have long tasted like autumn to me. Sure, you have potato salad or maybe vichysoisse in the summer, pickled beets or maybe a carrot and raisin salad too; but when I think of roasted potatoes, or brown sugared carrots or mashed turnips, I definitely think of fall.
Now, this being a pasta and risotto column, you might be thinking "Potatoes and Pasta or Potatoes and Rice?" Well, don't think I've lost my mind yet! For the pastas, I am using the best thing that ever happened to a potato (or a parsnip): gnocchi — these tender dumplings are one of the world's best comfort foods. As for the risotti, there are many root vegetables that fit in beautifully, whether in their solid form or as a purée.
So for this month's pasta recipes, I present two terrific gnocchi recipes. One is the traditional potato kind, and one is a fabulous, light, baked recipe that uses parsnips instead of potatoes. The first recipe, Potato Gnocchi with Veal Mushroom Sauce is not only traditional, but absolutely delicious as well. The actual gnocchi recipe is very simple and strait forward, using minimal ingredients. The topping is more involved, a savory combination of ground veal, rosemary, tomatoes, red wine and aromatics that make a sublime sauce. The sauce can be made ahead and frozen, and any leftovers are wonderful over pasta. Our other gnocchi, Baked Parsnip Gnocchi, is a very different kind of gnocchi from the traditional potato variety. The dough for this gnocchi is very soft, and it is piped out onto baking sheets with a pastry bag, then baked until crispy and brown. They are a lovely change of pace from more conventional side dishes, or make a perfect starter course all on their own.
For our risotti, we again have two different kinds of recipes. The first, Risotto with Sweet Potato and Pancetta uses roasted sweet potato purée and the terrific, smoky flavor of the pancetta. It has a beautiful orange color, speckled with the darker pancetta that would make it perfect if you were having a Halloween dinner party. Both of the risotti can be a first course, hearty side dish or entree. The other risotto, Risotto with Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms has a sweet and savory flavor that comes from the caramelizing of the onions and the earthy flavor of the mushrooms. The vegetables permeate this dish with the sweet, mellow flavor they get from the deep browning, making it a dish you can't seem to get enough of.
Don't worry—I didn't forget about dessert! This being Halloween month, I thought I would give you a decadent dessert to reward yourself with after traipsing all over the neighborhood with your trick-or-treaters. Or maybe you're having a Halloween party and need a terrific make-ahead dessert. Either way, this one fits the bill. Chocolate-Orange Cheesecake with Orange Glaze is full of luscious, creamy flavors. The rich dark chocolate combines with a triple shot of orange—zest, juice and Grand Marnier—to form a smooth, divine cake, that is then topped with a sweet orange glaze made with marmalade and more Grand Marnier. The dessert can be made ahead of time, since the cheesecake tastes best on the cold side, right from the fridge.
Enjoy the cool weather, Happy Halloween, and I will see you again in November when we'll talk turkey!


Every February is American Heart Month. Like many, however, I never paid attention to the fact that heart disease is the No. 1 killer in women. All of that changed on April 1, 2016 when heart disease reared its ugly head.
When I first started experiencing some unusual symptoms, I didn't even know that they were symptoms. I explained it all away to myself. I didn't tell anyone and thought the symptoms would just pass. I don't know where I was on my own list of priorities, but I certainly wasn't at the top. I'm good at taking care of others, but I learned that there was a price for that if you're not careful — if you're taking one of your body's vital functions for granted.
In the latter part of 2015 and the beginning of 2016, I was experiencing an increased amount of stress in my life. A lot of the stress came from trying to help care for my mother, whose health was declining. Unfortunately, she passed away in Feb. 2016. Losing her weighed heavy on my heart — quite literally.
It was so easy to tell myself that the symptoms I was experiencing were due to grieving, stress, lack of exercise, and just being rundown. I was tired, my back hurt, my left arm ached, and I would get short of breath just walking from room to room. This went on inconsistently for a few months.
Tammy credits her son Chad, a paramedic, for identifying the immediate seriousness of her symptoms.
I ended up being in the hospital for four days. I had a stent placed in my right front artery, which was 99 percent blocked. I was weeks, if not days, away from having a heart attack. Besides the stent, I was put on four additional medications and my medical file now reads 'heart disease.' I had excellent care at the hospital, but I remember leaving scared and nervous about the lack of knowledge of what just happened to me. I knew I had to research my condition and educate myself.
Did you know that only 29 percent of U.S. medical schools offer med students the 'recommended' 25 hours of nutrition education? Notice I said 'recommended' and not 'required.' Yet we look to our doctors as nutritional experts. I'm here to tell you that they are not always the experts! You and I have to be. Doctors are more likely to do what they can to 'fix' you, but can't always do what it takes to 'heal' you.
I found that there is a wealth of knowledge about heart disease available to all of us — so much material that it can be confusing. Different experts have different opinions on the most beneficial way to care for your heart. But one thing the experts do agree on is that heart disease is reversible. Your body wants to heal. And the good news is that the moment you start a following a healthy lifestyle, the heart healing begins.
I am a survivor and this is my advice to women: do not explain away symptoms to yourself. For example, chest pain is not always a symptom in women for a heart attack. Be smarter than proud for yourself and those who love you. Just call your doctor and be the strong woman you are when discussing symptoms. If something in your body doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. The best case scenario is the doctor tells you your heart is great; how can you be embarrassed about 'troubling' a doctor for their time with that news?
Two years ago around this time, I came as close as you can get to a heart attack. I remember that every day. And because of it, I don't put off things that I always thought I had so much time left to do. My kids don't buy me 'things' anymore for holidays and birthdays, they arrange for me to do something I've never done before. Just last week, I interacted with a Beluga Whale!
I took up kayaking and if I can hike in a forest, I breathe deeper than I do anywhere else. I eat a plant-based diet now, which means that plants are at least 80 percent of my food intake. On most days, it's 100 percent. I have never smoked, I rarely drink alcohol, and I have stopped drinking soda altogether.
Kayaking is one of the hobbies Tammy Westmoreland now enjoys.
I don't always get to the gym but I try to walk as much as I can and I'm taking steps to reduce stress in my life. I subscribe to sites like Leidos Mission for Life and the American Heart Association for the latest healthy living information. But this is just the lifestyle changes I've made. Your research may find other methods right for you.
In conclusion, be heart strong and fall in love with yourself. Be an advocate for your family and friends to be healthy for good. Your body and your loved ones are counting on the decisions you make to live a long and wonderful life!

Boeotia (Greek: Βοιωτία): landscape in Central Greece, with several towns and capital Thebes.
Boeotia has been inhabited since times immemorial, with some very ancient inhabitation near Lake Copais. Several mythological story, recorded much later, are situated in this distant past, including the story of Cadmus, the mythological founder of Boeotia's main city, Thebes.
In the Late Bronze Age, there were several prosperous Mycenaean settlements, like Orchomenos, Gla, and the Cadmeia, the acropolis of Thebes. Interestingly, the Cadmeia was evacuated during the LH IIIB1 period (about 1300-1230 BCE), which is earlier than the other Mycenaean towns, which were abandoned in the LH IIIB2 (c.1230-1190) and even LH IIIC period (c.1190-1060). Perhaps this corroborates the stories of the Thebais and the Epigoni, which describe two wars between Argos and Thebes, the latter ending in the fall of Thebes, prior to the decline of the other great Mycenaean cities.
Another famous myth from Boeotia is the story of Oedipus, who is mentioned in the Iliad without further explanation: Homer's hearers knew Oedipus. The story must have developed in the Dark Age, which came to an end in c.800 BCE. Slowly, cities were growing – Thebes, Plataea, Thespiae, Orchomenos, Ascra... – and the egalitarian rural society of Boeotia became more complex. Writing in the eighth or early seventh century, Hesiod describes how to run a farm in his Works and Days. His Theogony is an attempt to organize the pantheon of old and new, greater and lesser gods and goddesses.
The Boeotians shared the use of the Aeolic dialect of the Greek language with the Thessalians. Later generations would argue that the Boeotians had originally lived in the north and had migrated to the south. What is certain is that Boeotia was a member of the amphictyony of Anthela (near Thermopylae), which is more or less the place where the Thessalian and Boeotian spheres of interest met.
As indicated, there were several Boeotian towns. Unlike Athens, which managed to subdue all communities in Attica (which is as large as Boeotia), Thebes was never able to subdue the other towns, although it was the permanent president of a Boeotian League. Minor towns like Plataea were not above invoking foreign help if this made resistance to the centralizing policy of Thebes easier. At the same time, the Boeotians shared the same coins and several cults, like the worship of Poseidon in Onchestus and Athena in Coroneia (the Pamboiotia).
In 480 BCE, the Persians invaded Greece and after the fall of Thessaly, Boeotia was directly threatened. Writing almost half a century later, the Greek researcher Herodotus of Halicarnassus states that Thebes collaborated. Already in Antiquity, Herodotus was blamed for being biased. In an essay called The Malice of Herodotus, Plutarch of Chaeronea points at sources that say that there were many Thebans who fought bravely at Thermopylae; they were killed in action or taken prisoner. After the Persian breakthrough, Thebes surrendered: it was the wisest course and those who had been most anti-Persian were dead or lost.
The other towns in Boeotia, like Thespiae, suffered terribly and would be repopulated with other Greeks after the war. The final battle took place halfway between Plataea and Thebes; after the Greeks had defeated the invaders, they attacked Thebes. It was punished by the loss of the chairmanship of the Boeotian League, but remained an important cultural center. One of its great poets was Pindar.
Not for long, however. During the first great conflict between Sparta and Athens, the First Peloponnesian War (460-445), the Spartans restored the power of Thebes, because they believed it might be useful against Athens. On hearing about the restoration of Thebes, the Athenians invaded Boeotia and defeated their enemies at Oenophyta (457 BCE). All of Boeotia was forced to become an ally of Athens; the towns were ruled democratically. After ten years, however, the Boeotians revolted, defeated the Athenians near Coronea and restored their own order.
Thebes was to be the new hegemonic power. The Boeotian League consisted of eleven districts, which sent one boeotarch ("leader of the Boeotians", in fact a kind of minister of war) and several delegates to a federal council in Thebes.note[Hell. Oxyrh.19.3.] Decisions of this council had to be ratified by the oligarchies that ruled the towns.
In the Archidamian War (431-421), the Thebans tried to improve their position. The war broke out in 431 when they tried to capture Plataea, an Athenian ally. The coup failed, but after several years the Spartan allies of Plataea took the city. The Athenians tried to punish Thebes but were defeated in 424 in the battle of Delion. After the defeat of Athens in the Decelean War (413-404), Boeotia started to change its policy: in the Corinthian War (395-387), the Thebans and Athenians jointly fought against Sparta, which was defeated at Haliartus (395) and Coronea (394).
At some point, the Boeotian constitution was adapted. Thebes had always had two votes in the board of boeotarchs, but at the outbreak of the Corinthian War, the city held four positions. After all, formerly independent towns like Plataea and Erythrae had been conquered during the Archidamian and Decelean wars. When the Corinthian War ended with a Spartan victory, Sparta insisted that all Boeotian towns were to be independent again (387). Plataea was restored. When the Thebans refused to give up their power, the Spartans occupied the Cadmeia (c.383).
In 379, the Theban leader Pelopidas recaptured the Cadmeia, gave a moderate democracy to his liberated city, and restored Theban dominion of Boeotia. The Spartans tried to return but were decisively defeated at Leuctra (371). Boeotians armies, led by Epaminondas, marched to the Peloponnese and defeated the armies of Sparta, which never recovered. During the next years, Boeotia was the strongest power in Greece, but it got involved in a protracted conflict with Phocis, the Third Sacred War (356-346), which exhausted all participants. Athens, meanwhile, lost its empire in the Social War (357-355).
In the end, Macedonia benefited of the weakening of the Greek cities. In 338, king Philip of Macedonia defeated a united Theban-Athenian army in the Battle of Chaeronea. The Cadmeia was again occupied by a foreign army, this time Macedonian. When Philip was killed and succeeded by his son Alexander, the Thebans tried to get rid of the garrison, but Alexander sacked the city and left it uninhabited. Only the house of Pindar was spared.
The lasting legacy of Theban-controled Boeotia was dual citizenship: a man could be citizen of both his own town and a greater political unit, like Boeotia. This was to become common in the Hellenistic period.
Thebes was sacked and Boeotia would never really recover, even though one of Alexander's successors, Cassander, allowed the Thebans to return and rebuild their city (316). For a short while, the Boeotians joined the Achaean League, switching to the Aetolian League in 245 and to an alliance with Macedonia in 236.
Writing at the beginning of the common era, the geographer Strabo noted that Thebes' Cadmeia was, "not even a remarkable village".note[Strabo, Geography 9.2.5; cf. Pausanias, Guide to Greece 9.7.6.] Still, the Roman age brought prosperity. The Boeotian League, which had been dissolved in 146 BCE, was founded again, although its functions were now merely religious. Thebes, slowly growing to become a provincial town, received the emperor Hadrian in 125 CE. He must have met Plutarch, the philosopher of Chaeronea.
The invasions of the tribes of the Lower Danube, which took place in the third century CE, were violent and destructive. At the beginning of the fifth century, Thebes' walls were rebuilt to protect the town against the armies of Alaric, the king of the Visigoths.note[Zosimus, New History 5.5.7.] By then, Boeotia had become Christian. In 431 a bishop Anysius of Thebes attended the Council of Ephesus. A terrible earthquake in 551 destroyed eight citiesnote[Procopius, Gothic Wars 4.25.] and marks the end of urban life in Boeotia.

Q: Many-to-many mapping with Mongoose I have FlashcardSchemas and PackageSchemas in my design. One flashcard can belong to different packages and a package can contain different flashcards.
Below you can see a stripped down version of my mongoose schema definitions:
// package-schema.js
var Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;

var PackageSchema = new Schema({
    id          : ObjectId,
    title       : { type: String, required: true },
    flashcards  : [ FlashcardSchema ]
});

var exports = module.exports = mongoose.model('Package', PackageSchema);

// flashcard-schema.js
var Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;

var FlashcardSchema = new Schema({
    id      : ObjectId,
    type        : { type: String, default: '' },
    story       : { type: String, default: '' },
    packages    : [ PackageSchema ]
});

var exports = module.exports = mongoose.model('Flashcard', FlashcardSchema);

As you can see from the comments above, these two schema definitions belong to separate files and reference each other.
I get an exception stating that PackageSchema is not defined, as expected. How can I map a many-to-many relation with mongoose?

A: You are doing it the right way, however the problem is that you have to include PackageSchema in the the flashcard-schema.js, and vice-versa. Otherwise these files have no idea what you are referencing
var Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;
    PackageSchema = require('./path/to/package-schema.js')

var FlashcardSchema = new Schema({
    id      : ObjectId,
    type        : { type: String, default: '' },
    story       : { type: String, default: '' },
    packages    : [ PackageSchema ]
});

A: I am new to node, mongoDB, and mongoose, but I think the proper way to do this is:
var PackageSchema = new Schema({
    id: ObjectId,
    title: { type: String, required: true },
    flashcards: [ {type : mongoose.Schema.ObjectId, ref : 'Flashcard'} ]
});

var FlashcardSchema = new Schema({
    id: ObjectId,
    type: { type: String, default: '' },
    story: { type: String, default: '' },
    packages: [ {type : mongoose.Schema.ObjectId, ref : 'Package'} ]
});

This way, you only store the object reference and not an embedded object.

A: You could use the Schema.add() method to avoid the forward referencing problem.
This (untested) solution puts the schema in one .js file
models/index.js
var Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;

// avoid forward referencing
var PackageSchema = new Schema();
var FlashcardSchema = new Schema();

PackageSchema.add({
    id          : ObjectId,
    title       : { type: String, required: true },
    flashcards  : [ FlashcardSchema ]
});

FlashcardSchema.add({
    id      : ObjectId,
    type        : { type: String, default: '' },
    story       : { type: String, default: '' },
    packages    : [ PackageSchema ]
});

// Exports both types
module.exports = {
    Package:   mongoose.model('Package', PackageSchema),
    Flashcard: mongoose.model('Flashcard', FlashcardSchema)
};

A: You're thinking of this too much like a relational data store. If that's what you want, use MySQL (or another RDBMS)
Failing that, then yes, a third schema could be used, but don't forget it'll still only be the id of each object (no joins, remember) so you'll still have to retrieve each other item in a separate query.

A: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongoose-relationship

##Many-To-Many with Multiple paths

var mongoose = require("mongoose"),
    Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    relationship = require("mongoose-relationship");

var ParentSchema = new Schema({
    children:[{ type:Schema.ObjectId, ref:"Child" }]
});
var Parent = mongoose.models("Parent", ParentSchema);

var OtherParentSchema = new Schema({
    children:[{ type:Schema.ObjectId, ref:"Child" }]
});
var OtherParent = mongoose.models("OtherParent", OtherParentSchema);

var ChildSchema = new Schema({
    parents: [{ type:Schema.ObjectId, ref:"Parent", childPath:"children" }]
    otherParents: [{ type:Schema.ObjectId, ref:"OtherParent", childPath:"children" }]
});
ChildSchema.plugin(relationship, { relationshipPathName:['parents', 'otherParents'] });
var Child = mongoose.models("Child", ChildSchema)

var parent = new Parent({});
parent.save();
var otherParent = new OtherParent({});
otherParent.save();

var child = new Child({});
child.parents.push(parent);
child.otherParents.push(otherParent);
child.save() //both parent and otherParent children property will now contain the child's id
child.remove()

A: This is the problem of cyclic/circular dependency. This is how you make it work in nodejs. For more detail, check out "Cyclic dependencies in CommonJS" at http://exploringjs.com/es6/ch_modules.html#sec_modules-in-javascript

//------ a.js ------
var b = require('b');
function foo() {
    b.bar();
}
exports.foo = foo;

//------ b.js ------
var a = require('a'); // (i)
function bar() {
    if (Math.random()) {
        a.foo(); // (ii)
    }
}
exports.bar = bar;

Revolver Road
A Harper McClain Mystery
Christi Daugherty
CD-Audio (3/10/2020)
Crime reporter Harper McClain is back on the beat when a troubled musician vanishes in Christi Daugherty's Revolver Road.
Even in the chill of February, no place touches Harper McClain's heart like Savannah. She should be walking beneath the historic city's towering oaks, surrounded by graceful mansions. Instead, she's hiding miles away on Tybee Island after a mysterious voice on the phone warned her that someone wanted her dead. The call was too specific to ignore. The caller knew everything about her. But that was months ago, and she's getting tired of being scared.
Her only escape is her work at the newspaper, where the hottest story in town is the disappearance of Xavier Rayne. The singer had a hit album on his hands, and was about to go on tour, but then he walked out of his beachfront home and vanished. The police believe he drowned, but Harper suspects his disappearance may be more ominous than that. Something doesn't feel right about it.
His bandmates and actress girlfriend say he's run away before. They expect him to come home. Until a body washes up with two bullet holes in it. Now everyone in Rayne's life is a suspect. As Harper digs deeper into the case, though, the threats against her own life return. The phone call she received was very real. A killer from her past is coming for her.
Now she must solve two murders, or end up dying on Revolver Road…
Minotaur Books, 9781250235886, 304pp.
As a newspaper reporter, Christi Daugherty covered her first murder at the age of 22. There would be many more over the subsequent years when she worked as a journalist in cities including Savannah, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans. Now a novelist, she lives in the south of England. She is the author of The Echo Killing and A Beautiful Corpse.


Among the recently published historical sources which add important details to our image of the Soviet policy in Hungary in the weeks of the 1956 revolution and its suppression, the memoirs of Vladimir Baikov are among the most important. Vladimir Sergeevich Baikov (1916–2001), born in Moscow, worked as journalist and editor of Radio Moscow (Vsesoyuznii radiokomitet) news programs in the late 1930s and early 1940s, until the attack of Nazi Germany against the USSR in June 1941. He knew English well and began work on a PhD thesis on Contemporary American Literature. The war between Nazi Germany and the USSR, however, led to significant changes in his career. He became a political instructor in the Red Army and, when World War II had ended in May 1945, he found himself in Hungary, where he stayed on for about two years as an official in the Soviet military administration. It can be assumed that there was a lack of interpreters and translators of Hungarian in the Soviet military in post-war Hungary as well as in the Soviet part of the Allied Control Commission. Hence, Baikov was charged with learning Hungarian and, thanks to his linguistic skills, he quickly succeeded. In the first chapters of his memoirs, he describes the situation in Hungary of 1945-1946, the months of the acute confrontation between the pro-Communist and anti-Communist forces, especially in the days of the parliamentary elections in early November 1945. These were to be the last free elections in Hungary up till the spring of 1990.

Fury-Schwarz heads to MGM Grand
Tyson Fury's next fight will be his first under his new ESPN deal.
Tyson Fury's return to action will officially take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, when he climbs back into the ring on June 15 to take on Germany's Tom Schwarz.
Fury (27-0-1, 19 KO) is coming off of a highly-debated draw against WBC titleholder Deontay Wilder last December, a fight where Fury came off the canvas twice and largely was able to outbox Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KO) otherwise.
Instead of going into an ordered rematch, Fury zagged on us all and signed a co-promotional deal with Top Rank, which means his fights will be shown on ESPN networks going forward. The bout with Schwarz will air on the ESPN+ streaming service.
The promoters and network, of course, are doing their best to sell this fight as something interesting, but reality is that nobody was looking for Fury to fight Schwarz (24-0, 16 KO), an unbeaten but completely untested fighter, ranked 41st in the world by BoxRec.
Top Rank's Bob Arum called Schwarz "tough, experienced, and undefeated," while ESPN+ EVP/GM Russell Wolff used the words "young, ambitious, and unbeaten" for Schwarz. And Schwarz described himself as "young, ambitious, and in the top of the world rankings."
Schwarz, 24, is certainly young, and it's a fact that he's undefeated/unbeaten. In the top of the world rankings? I don't care enough to comb through the various absurd sanctioning body rankings, but if he said it, then surely someone has him ranked. I have no reason to believe he's not ambitious, for whatever that's worth.
But this is just a tough, tough sell. Fury is one of the heavyweight division's Big Three, along with Wilder and WBA/IBF/WBO titleholder Anthony Joshua.
All of them are fighting on different platforms for the time being, and all of them have fights lined up against disappointing opposition, none more disappointing than Fury's. Joshua will defend against Jarrell Miller, June 1 on DAZN, while Wilder faces mandatory challenger Dominic Breazeale, May 18 on Showtime.
Miller and Breazeale, while huge underdogs, are both top 10 sort of fighters in the division. Schwarz is far from that.
But it's the fight we've got. Maybe Schwarz will shock the world. Probably not, but he's got his shot at any rate.

If you're in need of some physical therapy due to injury, you definitely want to know which one will work best to alleviate the painful symptoms you're experiencing.
When it comes to therapy options, there is osteopathy, chiro and physio. In order to make an informed decision to address your symptoms, it's important to understand how these three treatments differ. We've outlined the difference between osteopathy, physiotherapy and chiropractic care.
All three can be used to get rid of tension in fascia, joints, tethered nerves and muscles to facilitate healing. Osteopathy, physiotherapy and chiropractic can all help you overcome injury and pain so that you can get back to living life on your terms. The other common thread between the three forms of treatments is that from diagnosis to treatment, practitioners are literally very hands on with a great deal of meticulous and precise touch.
All these practitioners work with joints and the spine as well as with tissues, fluids, fascia and scars. Chiropractors and physiotherapists traditionally have a more specific area of treatment and combine hands on treatment techniques with education and focus on injury prevention. Physiotherapy is very much focused on the effects of pain and injury on function including daily activities and sports. Physiotherapists usually address these issues with specific exercise protocols for each condition.
When it comes to osteopathic care, where your pain is, or even what it is, isn't really the issue. What's important from the perspective of the person performing the treatment is the method for addressing and alleviating the restrictions that are triggering the problem. The approach for the other two therapy options, however, is different.
Physiotherapists and chiropractors sometimes use tools other than their hands to administer treatment, osteopathic therapists usually only use hands on treatments.
As you can see, there are some notable differences when looking at the three aforementioned therapy options. While the three treatment options are all different, they are all useful. And when conducted by a skilled professional, may help to alleviate pain and facilitate healing. All you need to do is choose the right one for your specific conditions.
At Physiomobility, our job is to help you have a better understanding of pain and how to manage it. If you have any questions about which treatment would be best for you, give us a call today for a free initial consultation.

Die Puch-Werke, gegründet 1899 von Johann Puch, waren ein österreichisches Unternehmen, das Fahrräder, Motorfahrräder, Verbrennungsmotoren, Motorräder und Automobile produzierte.

Unternehmensgeschichte
Nach einigen Bemühungen erhielt Johann Puch am 25. September 1889 die Betriebserlaubnis für eine Fahrradwerkstatt auf dem Gelände seiner Schwiegereltern.

Im selben Jahr wurde das erste Puch-Fahrrad, ein Sicherheitsniederrad, unter dem Markennamen Styria ausgeliefert. Der Markenname (lat.) Styria steht für das Bundesland Steiermark, in dessen Landeshauptstadt Puch seinen Betrieb aufbaute. Schon Mitte 1890 erwies sich die Werkstatt als zu klein, und Puch zog mit finanzieller Unterstützung eines Partners in ein größeres Gebäude um. 1891 wurde die Handelsgesellschaft "Johann Puch & Comp." eingetragen und beschäftigte 34 Arbeiter. Den Durchbruch für das weitere Wachstum des Unternehmens und für das Styria-Rad brachte der dritte Platz des Rennfahrers Franz Gerger bei der Distanzradfahrt Wien–Berlin 1893; Puch hatte auch den Sieger des ersten Rennens Paris–Roubaix, Josef Fischer, sowie den mehrfachen Hochradmeister und Wien-Berlin-Teilnehmer Bruno Büchner unter Vertrag. Styria-Räder wurden bis nach England und Frankreich exportiert.

Am 27. September 1899 ließ Puch die Johann Puch – Erste steiermärkische Fahrrad-Fabriks-Actien Gesellschaft in Graz in das Handelsregister eintragen. Die Erwerbung der Puch-Fahrradwerke war eines der ersten Geschäfte dieser Aktiengesellschaft. Es wurden neben Fahrrädern ab 1903 auch Motorräder und ab 1906 Automobile in Serienfertigung hergestellt. Die Entwicklung der Automobile wurde ein besonderes Anliegen von Puch. 1903 wurde zusätzlich eine Werksvertretung für Mannesmann-MULAG-Lastkraftwagen übernommen und ab 1906 die österreichische Generalvertretung für Dixi-Automobile aus Eisenach. Bis zum Juli 1912 leitete Puch das Unternehmen als Generaldirektor. Danach zog er sich wegen neuerlicher Gesundheitsprobleme am Herzen von der Betriebsleitung zurück und widmete sich seinen Hobbys und Rennpferden.

Im Frühjahr 1914 übernahm Puch eine Position im Verwaltungsrat des 1914 in die Puch-Werke Aktiengesellschaft umgewandelten Unternehmens. Das Unternehmen beschäftigte inzwischen 1400 Arbeiter im Grazer Betrieb und hatte ein umfangreiches Programm von "Fahr- und Motorrädern, Sport- und Luxusautos, Last- und Lieferwagen, Omnibussen, Feldbahnmotoren und tragbaren Scheinwerferaggregaten". Am 19. Juli 1914 starb Puch an einem Herzschlag in Zagreb. Nur zehn Tage später, am 28. Juli 1914 erklärte Österreich-Ungarn Serbien den Krieg. Im folgenden Verlauf des Ersten Weltkrieges war das Unternehmen wichtiger Lieferant des k.u.k. Heeres.

Weitere Entwicklung des Werks

Austro-Daimler-Puchwerke AG

Nach Puchs Tod nach dem Besuch eines Pferderennens in Agram am 19. Juli 1914 konnte sich das Unternehmen noch einige Zeit behaupten, ehe es 1928 mit der Österreichischen Daimler-Motoren AG fusionierte. Aber auch die daraus entstandenen Austro-Daimler-Puchwerke AG hielten sich nur bis 1934. Die Aktienmehrheit des Unternehmens befand sich seit März 1922 im Besitz der Anglo-Austrian Bank.

Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG
Eine neuerliche Fusion mit der Steyr-Werke AG führte zur Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG, die neben Fahrzeugen aller Art (Pkw, Lkw, Omnibusse, Geländefahrzeuge, Traktoren, Motorräder, Fahrräder) auch Werkzeuge und Waffen herstellte. In den 1990er Jahren wurden verschiedene Produktionsbereiche stillgelegt oder abgegeben, zum Beispiel:
 Motorräder, Fahrräder: 1987 an die italienische Piaggio-Gruppe verkauft
 Wälzlager: an den schwedischen Konzern SKF verkauft
 Omnibusse: an die schwedische Volvo Group verkauft
 Traktoren: an die US-amerikanischen Case Corporation verkauft
 Gewehre: ausgegliedert in die Steyr-Mannlicher

Der Rest des Konzerns wurde 1998 von der Magna Holding AG übernommen und beschäftigt sich nach Umstrukturierungen mit Antriebstechnik, vor allem mit Allradantrieben. Ein Förderungspreis von Magna für Diplomarbeiten wurde im Gedenken an Johann Puch benannt.

Wie alle Betriebe dieser Art wurde das Puchwerk im Zweiten Weltkrieg auch für die Rüstungsproduktion herangezogen, dazu reichten die Kapazitäten jedoch bald nicht mehr aus. Deshalb wurde gut 3 km südöstlich vom Einser-Werk in Thondorf bei Graz das sogenannte "Zweier-Werk" gebaut.
Steyr-Daimler-Puch war eines der Unternehmen, die während des Zweiten Weltkriegs von Zwangsarbeit profitierten. Die Arbeiter waren im Mauthausen-Gusen-Konzentrationslagersystem Konzentrationslager Mauthausen.  Puch ließ 1943 im KZ Gusen eine unterirdische Fabrik bauen. Steyr-Daimler-Puch beschäftigte auch KZ-Häftlinge in den Außenlagern von Mauthausen in Peggau und Aflenz bei Leibnitz. Vom 17. August 1944 bis zum 2. April 1945 wurde auf einem enteigneten Grundstück des Klosters Kloster Vorau in der nordöstlichen Steiermark (Österreich) auch eine Außenstelle des KZ eingerichtet. Am Fuß der Peggauer Wand wurde ein Stollensystem zur unterirdischen Verlagerung von Teilen der Flugzeugteile- und Panzerfertigung des Werks Thondorf der Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG in Betrieb genommen. Im KZ Melk, einem Außenlager des KZ Mauthausen, arbeiteten vom 21. April 1944 bis zum 15. April 1945 Zwangsarbeiter für die Rüstungsproduktion der Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG. Sie mussten bei Roggendorf (Gemeinde Schollach) riesige Stollen in den Berg treiben, wo Kugellager hergestellt wurden. Die Häftlinge wurden auch zur Errichtung verschiedener Barackensiedlungen in der Umgebung und der "Luftwaffen-Siedlung" in Loosdorf eingesetzt. Weitere Gefangene mussten ihren Dienst in einem großen Sägewerk in Amstetten verrichten, das Pölzholz für die unterirdischen Anlagen herstellte (siehe KZ Melk).

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden in Thondorf Fahrräder, Mopeds, Motorräder, Personenwagen und Geländewagen (Haflinger, Pinzgauer, Puch G) entwickelt und produziert. (Heute: Grazer Bezirk Liebenau, Stadtteil Graz-Thondorf, Liebenauer Hauptstraße 317.)

Das Werk prägte diesen Stadtteil; das 1953/1954 errichtete "Puch-Hochhaus", mit 13 Stockwerken das erste Hochhaus von Graz, wurde zu einem Wahrzeichen und steht mittlerweile unter Denkmalschutz. In den drei ursprünglichen Hallen des Werks begann das Unternehmen Magna Steyr Luxusfahrzeuge für US-amerikanische und deutsche Konzerne zu produzieren.

1987 wurde nach beinahe 100 Jahren die Fahrradproduktion in Graz endgültig eingestellt. Die technische Kompetenz war bei Steyr-Puch immer größer als die kaufmännische, die Markenrechte wurden an den italienischen Hersteller Piaggio veräußert, der etwa bis zur Jahrtausendwende Fahrräder und Mopeds mit dem Markenlogo "Puch" produzierte. Piaggio gab 1997 die Rechte für den Fahrradbereich (inkl. Bianchi) an den schwedischen Rad-Konzernriesen Cycleurope weiter.

2011 übernahm das Familienunternehmen J. Faber GmbH die Verantwortung für die Fahrradmarke Puch. Die neuen Puch-Räder wurden weiter von Cycleurope in Frankreich produziert. Ab März 2012 wurden neun neue Modelle, darunter fünf Elektroräder, unter dem Namen "Puch" angeboten.

Produkte von Puch

Im Verlauf der Firmengeschichte hat Puch unterschiedliche Waren und Dienstleistungen erzeugt, von denen die Fahr- und Krafträder zum meist bekannten Bereich zählen. Weniger bekannt sind die Kriegsproduktionen für Krankenwagen oder mobile Scheinwerfer. Zu den Nischenprodukten ohne nennenswerte Umsätze kann man die Flugmotoren, die Schreibmaschinen oder gar die zeitweilig in Graz und Budapest betriebenen Radfahrschulen nennen.

Fahrräder
Die Fahrradproduktion war über weiter Zeiträume der Firmengeschichte ein Kernbereich des Unternehmens.

Johann Puch profilierte sich während seines Militärdienstes in Graz (Artillerie-Ergänzungsdepot) als Fahrradmechaniker. Seine erste bedeutende Anstellung danach hatte er bei der Fahrradfirma Luchscheider in Graz. Ein Teil der originalen Werkstattausrüstung von Puch wurde im Reinerhof gefunden und ist heute im Johann-Puch-Museum Graz zu sehen.

Den Weg zum Fabrikanten ging Puch zuerst als Dienstnehmer für Fahrradreparaturen. Dazu gehörte auch eine Anstellung bei der Graziosa Fahrradwerke Benedict Albl Comp. Seine Anfänge als selbstständiger Unternehmer liegen im Zusammenbau von Fahrrädern, des Verkaufs und der Wartung von Kundenfahrzeugen.

Schließlich wurden Puch-Räder vor allem über Rennsporterfolge und über intensive Reklame-Aktionen populär. Das Waffenrad ist ein Teil dieser Geschichte. Es basiert aber auf einem erfolgreichen Lizenzprodukt der Steyr-Werke, die ein Fahrzeug von Swift aus Coventry übernommen hatten, um ihre Anlagen in Friedenszeiten auslasten zu können. (Der Begriff "Waffenrad" bezieht sich also auf das Friedensprodukt einer Waffenschmiede.) Puch hat das Waffenrad auch gebaut, aber es ist nicht seine Kreation.

Krafträder

Motorräder vor der Fusion mit Austro-Daimler
Die ersten bei Puch gebauen Motorräder wurden ab 1903 in Serie gebaut. Zuvor gab es einige frühe Modelle, die Johann Puch initiierte.

Die Entwicklung des neuen Fahrzeuges lief 1963/1964, der Marktauftritt erfolgte 1965: "Elegant den ganzen Tag Puch R50". Gegenüber dem Vorgängermodell DS 50/60 ist nun ein freier Durchstieg vorhanden.

 Puch Kleinroller Lido (Eine Koproduktion mit Suzuki)
 Puch Roller (R/RL/RLA 125)
 Puch Roller (SR/SRA 125/150): Der SRA unterschied sich vom SR durch einen elektrischen Anlasser. Vollschwingenfahrwerk; unterdurchschnittliche Leistung (6,3 PS in der 150er Ausführung)
 Puch 150 A (Allstate): Das Exportmodell Puch 150 A wurde für Sears geschaffen und unter der Marke Allstate vertrieben. Dieser Sonderfall in der Puch-Produktion basiert auf Rahmen einer Puch 125 TT mit dem starren Heck, in das der gebläsegekühlte Rollermotor montiert wurde.

Mopeds und Mofas
 Puch Styriette (1938)

In der Entwicklung stehen zwischen Motorrädern und Mopeds die Fahrräder mit Hilfsmotor. Bei Puch ging man in diese Lücke mit der "Styriette". Sie wurde als "Motorfahrrad" vorgestellt, war in einer Damen- und Herrenausführung verfügbar. Der 60,3-cm³-Motor leistete 1 kW (1,3 PS), was später in Graz "Moped-Dimension" wurde. Ein Exemplar aus dem Jahr 1938 ist im Johann-Puch-Museum Graz erhalten.

Mopeds sind nicht durch ihre Bauart bestimmt, sondern wurden nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg durch die Straßenverkehrsordnung definiert (keine Führerscheinpflicht, keine Steuer, preiswerte Versicherung und limitierte Höchstgeschwindigkeit).

 Puch Mofas: Maxi, Condor, Sport, MS 50, VS 50, MV 50, MV 50 S, X 30, X 50, Puch Pionier
 Puch Mopeds: Monza, M 50, Ranger, Cobra 50 und 80. Die Cobra wurde ursprünglich nur als 50er geplant, aber Anfang der 1980er Jahre im Zuge der Neuordnung des Führerscheins und der Moped-Versicherung auch als 80er auf den Markt gebracht.

 Puch Maxi – ein 1969 vorgestelltes Mofa, das von den Puch-Werken als Nachfolger der alten, umgangssprachlich auch Schwarze Sau genannten Puch MV 50 gebaut wurde. Eine wichtige Besonderheit des Maxis ist, dass es die erste von Puch produzierte Fliehkraftkupplung in sich trägt (Automatik). 1985 wurde noch das Supermaxi mit KAT vorgestellt, das erste Mofa weltweit mit Abgasreinigung. Während dieser Zeit wurden noch andere sehr erfolgreiche Modelle gebaut, z. B. der Puch Velux x30, Puch Condor, Puch Sport, Puch Tigra, die berühmte Puch Monza (Vier- und Sechsgang-Getriebe) und Puch Cobra.

Automobile und Lastkraftwagen

Mehrspurige Fahrzeuge bis Ende der 1920er Jahre
Von Puch wurde 1901 die Voiturette als erstes Kraftfahrzeug von Puch bekannt. Ab 1906 wurden zunächst Automobile und später auch Lieferwagen, Krankenwagen, Omnibusse und andere Lastkraftwagen gebaut.

Automobile bis Ende der 1920er Jahre
Der Bereich des Automobilbaus von Puch in Graz beginnt mit einem Versuchsfahrzeug, welches angeblich am 1. April 1900 die erste erfolgreiche Probefahrt absolviert hat. Andere Quellen nennen 1901 für diese Versuchserprobungen. Die Serienfertigung von Automobilen wurde 1906 von Puch zunächst mit 2-Zylinder-Motoren begonnen.

Automobile (1957–1975)

Mehrspurige Fahrzeuge aus Nachfolge und Technologietransfers
Für Fahrzeuge von anderer Unternehmen die durch Fusionen oder Technogietransfers verbunden sind siehe:

Feldbahnen
Unmittelbar nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg wurden Puch-Motor-Feldbahnen aus Eisen als Zugmaschine in der Landwirtschaft eingesetzt oder mit Anhänger und Drehschemel zum Langholztransport genutzt. Sie waren eine zivile Weiternutzung der 4,2 PS Puch-Motortriebwagen der k.u.k. Heeresfeldbahnen und konnten nach Unterweisung oder nach aufmerksamen Durchlesen der Behandlungsvorschrift leicht bedient werden, so dass die Anstellung eines gelernten Mechanikers oder Chauffeurs nicht erforderlich war.

Erfolge bei Wertungsfahrten und im Motorsport
 1933: 1. Platz ADAC-Reichsfahrt, Werksfahrerin Ilse Thouret mit Puch-Type 200-S
 1954: 1. Platz 24-Stunden-Motorradrennen Bol d'Or, Frankreich, Johann Weingartmann und Helmut Volzwinkler mit Puch 250 SGS
 1975: Motocross-Weltmeister, Harry Everts auf Puch 250 MC

Entwicklung der Puch Betriebsstätten und Liegenschaften in Graz

Johann Puchs erste eigene Werkstatt hatte er an der Adresse Strauchergasse 18(a), Graz.
Das Grundstück erstreckte sich damals, den heutigen Volksgarten teilend, weit nach Norden bis zum Grazer Mühlgang, der damals etwa 50 m weiter nördlich als heute noch an der Südseite der heutigen Mühlgasse entlang floss. Hier nahe dem Mühlgang, wo heute ein Hart-Sportplatz liegt, nutzte Puch ein vorhandenes Glashaus als Werkstätte. Mangels behördlicher Genehmigung verlegte er die Fahrradreparaturen in eine Werkstatt in der Arche Noe 12. Weitere Stationen waren Fabrikräume in der Karlauerstraße und die Köstenbaum-Mühle in der Baumstraße (heute: Köstenbaumgasse). Nach Differenzen mit Kompagnons schied er 1897 aus dem Betrieb aus und etablierte sich neu in der Laubgasse.

Die Laubgasse wurde 1949 gemeinsam mit der Fuhrhofgasse und der Gottliebgasse zur Puchstraße. Auf diesem Terrain baute Puch das "Werk Eins" auf, das heute "Einser-Werk" genannt wird. Dort wurden neben Fahrrädern ab 1901 Kleinmotoren gebaut, auch die Voiturette von 1900 (Pkw) und danach erste Kleinserien von Puch-Automobilen.

An diesem Platz besteht heute noch eine denkmalgeschützte Halle, die Halle P – vermutlich für: "Produktion", in der seit 2012 das Johann Puch Museum Graz untergebracht ist. Im 20. Jahrhundert wurde dieses Gebiet am südlichen Rand von Graz zum Stadtbezirk Puntigam. Eine niedrige, teilweise aus Holz errichtete Werks-Sporthalle westlich des heutigen Kreisverkehrs Puchstraße wurde erst nach 1999 abgerissen.

Der Zuzug von Arbeitskräften war Anlass, eine Kirche zu bauen, die Architekt Robert Kramreiter schuf. Es ist die Kirche St. Christoph bzw. Pfarrkirche Graz-Thondorf.

Das "Einser-Werk" in der Puchstraße wurde stillgelegt und zu einem Gewerbepark umgewandelt, eine historische Werkhalle zum Industriedenkmal erklärt. In den Hallen eines ehemaligen Generalimporteurs für italienische Pkw, die neben dem ehemaligen Werksareal liegen, entstand im Rahmen der Kulturhauptstadt Graz 2003 das Johann-Puch-Museum Graz. Seit Juni 2012 befindet sich das Museum in der denkmalgeschützten Halle P, die noch Johann Puch selbst bauen ließ.

Puch-Steg
1949 wurde der Puch-Steg insbesondere für den Zugang von östlich der Mur lebenden Arbeitern zum Werk nahe dem rechten Murufer errichtet. Tragwerk und die 2 Pfeiler sind aus genietetem Stahl gefertigt, Wegoberfläche und Geländer sind mit Holz beplankt, ein Eisschutz oberwasserseitig der zwei Stahlppfeiler ist ebenfalls aus Holz. Die hölzernen Teile des denkmalgeschützten Stegs wurden um 2000 unter Wahrung seines Erscheinungsbilds erneuert, die Stahlkonstruktion sandgestrahlt und wieder grün beschichtet. Für das Murkraftwerk Graz-Puntigam und des Zentralen Speicherkanals für Abwässer – beide Bauten wurden 2017 begonnen – ist der Steg anzuheben, damit die geforderte Unterfahrbarkeit mit Feuerwehrbooten erhalten bleibt, wenn der Kraftwerksstau dem Wasserspiegel hier anhebt. Er soll daher etwa hundert Meter nach Norden in die Flucht der Sturzgasse versetzt werden. So verlautete es aus Kreisen der Errichter während des Baus (2017–2019). Tatsächlich wurde der Steg um 2019 abgerissen und verschrottet. Die am und beim Steg montierten Tafeln wurden von Walter Bradler, Schriftführer der Radlobby Argus Steiermark fotografisch dokumentiert. Seitens der Stadt oder der Bauführenden wurde keine der Tafeln erhalten. Der Steg wurde nicht 1949 errichtet, wie eine der Tafeln geschichtsverfälschend aussagte, sondern 1949 instand gesetzt. Der Steg wurde im Zweiten Weltkrieg für Fußgängerverkehr zum und vom Puch-Werk errichtet, er wurde von Zwangsarbeitern des Lagers Liebenau genutzt und noch während des Kriegs stark beschädigt.

Der ersatzweise etwa bis 2020 errichtete (neue) Puch-Steg hat vom alten nur den Namen übernommen. Schon der alte Puchsteg war wohl seit 1949 für Fußgänger und Radfahrer geöffnet, obwohl er nur geschätzt 1,30 bis 1,50 m Breite innerhalb des Geländers und seiner Verkleidung aufwies. Der neue Puch-Steg weist nur einen Pfeiler auf, ist überdacht, beleuchtet und weist unter jedem Träger mittig liegende Schwingungsdämpfer auf. Geplant war eine Fahrbahnbreite von nur 2,50 m, nach Lobbying von Argus wurde er jedoch 3,50 m innenbreit ausgeführt, um auch Aufenthalt zu ermöglichen.

Magna Steyr Gelände
Wer heute auf der Autobahn bei Graz dem Wegweiser "Graz–Puchwerk" folgt, kommt am Osttor des Werks von Magna Steyr an. Die Tochtergesellschaft von Magna International hat Betriebsstätten auf dem Gelände der Steyr Daimler Puch, aber auch an anderen Orten der Steiermark, zum Beispiel in Albersdorf, wo heute die "S-Tec" weiter Kunden mit Allradfahrzeugen betreut, hauptsächlich Pinzgauer und Puch G. Zuvor war dieser Betrieb in Graz ansässig, in der "Halle P", die heute das Johann-Puch-Museum Graz beherbergt.

The following examples are presented to illustrate how an LEA could provide AEM for various students.
A ninth-grade student who is blind is determined to need embossed braille for Algebra I; braille ready format (.brf) for Oklahoma History, Physical Science, and French; and audio for English Literature. The teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) contacts Liberty Braille to request the student's Algebra I textbook in embossed braille. Liberty Braille sends the textbook to the school for the student to use and return upon completion of the Algebra I course. The TVI contacts ABLE Tech for help determining which AEM providers can supply the student's educational materials in the audio and braille ready formats and for assistance in determining what assistive technology will be necessary. The school borrows a refreshable braille display and an audiobook player from ABLE Tech for assessment purposes. ABLE Tech assists the school in obtaining organizational memberships in Bookshare (free to school) and Learning Ally (scaled-fee), and downloading the student's materials in the desired formats. Following the successful trial loan, the school borrows a refreshable braille display and an audiobook player from the AIM Center at the Oklahoma Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped for the student to use for the remainder of the school year.
A second-grade student with a reading disability is determined to need her materials for reading, science, and social studies in a digital format to be read on a portable device with a text-to-speech feature. The school has a Bookshare account and the teacher is registered as a sponsor. The teacher documents the student's print disability and registers her as a member under the school's organizational Bookshare account. The teacher then finds the student's textbooks and other required reading materials in the Bookshare library and assists the student in accessing the materials using the Bookshare Web Reader on a school-supplied laptop.
A teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) is seeking to determine if a sixth-grade student who currently receives large print textbooks from Liberty Braille would benefit from the use of an iPad with digital text for some of her educational materials. The TVI contacts ABLE Tech to borrow an iPad for a trial loan. ABLE Tech sends an iPad with an accessible book reading app to the school for assessment purposes, and offers technical assistance to help the school obtain an organizational membership in Bookshare and download the student's books. After determining that the iPad with the accessible book reading app is a good solution for the student, the TVI borrows an iPad from Liberty Braille for the student to use for the remainder of the school-term. The TVI also assists the student's family in obtaining an individual membership in Bookshare so that the student can access additional reading materials throughout the year.
An IEP team has determined that an eleventh-grade student who is reading below grade-level and whose primary language is Spanish needs educational materials in digital format to be read with text-to-speech. IDEA 2004 requires that schools provide accessible instructional materials to students who need them. However, since this student does not have a qualifying print disability, she is not eligible to receive materials from Bookshare. Therefore, the school requests a digital copy from the publisher or permission to copy and scan the student's materials into electronic text. The teacher also contacts ABLE Tech for assistance in considering assistive technology to convert the student's educational materials to synthesized speech. The teacher decides to borrow a scan and read system and an iPad with an accessible book-reading app for a free six-week trial to assess with the student. During the trial, the IEP team determines that the scan and read system works better for the student than the iPad with accessible book reading app, and that the school will purchase the device for use in the classroom. The IEP team plans to monitor the student's progress using the scan and read device at school, and if necessary will consider allowing the student to use the device at home.

US court allows National Security Agency to temporarily resume bulk data collection
NSA can temporarily resume bulk phone data collection rules U.S. Court
Surveillance Court grants NSA permission to temporarily return to collection of bulk phone data
So the world finally returns to snooping and surveillance again with a US court temporarily allowing NSA to collect bulk phone data. According to documents made public on Tuesday, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as the FISC, has ruled that the eavesdropping National Security Agency may temporarily resume its bulk collection of Americans' domestic telephone calls.
However, the American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday said that it would request the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which had ruled that the surveillance program was not legal, to send an injunction to stop the program, putting up a potential conflict between the two courts.
Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who had exposed the controversial program was shocked in May by an appeals court ruling that the USA Patriot Act had never given official permission to the NSA to make bulk collection of Americans' phone records.
A new law, called the Freedom Act, which to a great extent made changes and restricted the bulk phone data program, was signed by U.S. President Barack Obama a day after the existing program expired on June 1.
The existing surveillance program was given permission to continue for a six-month transition period by the Freedom Act; however, it continues to stay in legal limbo pending Monday's ruling by a judge of the FISC.
"In passing the USA Freedom Act, Congress clearly intended to end bulk data collection … But what it took away with one hand, it gave back – for a limited time – with another," wrote Michael Mosman, a judge on the surveillance court.
"Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" — "the more things change, the more they stay the same" — FISA Judge Michael Mosman also wrote in saying a federal appeals court ruling dismissing a libertarian activist group's motion to stop the program with immediate effect because of a separate court's ruling.
In his ruling, Mosman dismissed the May ruling by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan that the Patriot Act had never given permission to the NSA to accumulate Americans' bulk phone records, which was first reported by the New York Times.
"Second Circuit rulings are not binding on the F.I.S.C. and this court respectfully disagrees with that court's analysis, especially in view of the intervening enactment of the U.S.A. Freedom Act," he wrote.
The decision was welcomed by the U.S. Justice Department.
Justice Department spokesman Wyn Hornbuckle said "We agree with the Court's conclusion that the program is lawful, and that in passing the USA Freedom Act, Congress provided for a 180 day transition period for the government to continue the existing collection program until the new mechanism of obtaining call detail records is implemented."
However, Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement that "Neither the statute nor the Constitution permits the government to subject millions of innocent people to this kind of intrusive surveillance. We intend to ask the court to prohibit the surveillance and to order the NSA to purge the records it's already collected."
And Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, a member of the Intelligence Committee, criticized the FISC, saying in a statement: "I see no reason for the Executive Branch to restart bulk collection, even for a few months. This illegal dragnet surveillance violated Americans' rights for fourteen years without making our country any safer."
The NSA program accumulates and examines data about Americans' phone calls, such as the number dialed, and the time and length of the call, but not the calls' actual content.
The Freedom Act requires companies such as AT&T Inc and Verizon Communications Inc, to gather and store telephone records similarly to what they do now for billing purposes.
But instead of feeding U.S. intelligence agencies such data at regular intervals, the companies will be required to turn it over only in reply to a government request that is officially agreed by the FISC.
More bullshit. Our government has failed us.
