Hinwil is a municipality in the district of Hinwil in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.

History
The village Hinwil from which the later municipality took its name is first mentioned in 745  as Hunichinwilari, in a donation made by Beata and Landolt to the Abbey of Saint Gall. Hinwil was part of an Alamannic colony comprising also adjoining villages and settlements that were donated during the following century by descendants of Beata and Landolt or by other members of their clan to the same abbey, such as Hadaleihinchova (Hadlikon, donated in 775), Pozinhova (Bossikon, 829), Rimolteswilare (Ringwil, donated together with a church in 837) and Werinholveshusa (Wernetshausen, 867).

The Alamanni were actually preceded by Roman inhabitants, as attested by the foundation walls of a Roman Villa dating from the 1st century CE and detected under the medieval church of Hinwil which is first mentioned in the second half of the 8th century.

During the High Middle Ages, the village Hinwil was part of the Landvogtei of Grüningen and was then, after 1280, subordinated to the commandry of the Knights of St. John at Bubikon. In the process of the Reformation, the governance of Hinwil and other villages of the region was divided between Zürich and the Order of the Knights of St. John, with the influence of the latter being limited by an agreement to use only members of the Reformed Church of Zürich as their local governors.

The economy of Hinwil was originally based on agriculture and rural handcraft. During the second half of the 16th century regional production of linen was introduced, from the 17th century on livestock farming and especially the early modern workshop-system of cloth production came to be dominant and, together with tourism in the wake of the railroad connection established in 1876, provided a certain prosperity in the 19th century and the years before World War I. Industrial production used to play a comparably modest role, yet came to be more important with the local establishment of Bührer Traktorenwerke AG (tractor production, since 1939) and Ferag AG (materials handling namely for newspaper production, since 1957).

Of the total unproductive area, water (streams and lakes) made up 0.4% of the area.   14% of the total municipal area was undergoing some type of construction.

The municipality is located in the Zürcher Oberland on the Bachtel mountain.  It was formed in 1798 from the parish of the same name.

Gr 8 Up-Six months after a deadly shooting at a suburban high school, educators and psychological and criminal experts compile their interviews and analyses to assess any ongoing threat in the school environment. Through these documents, Myers skillfully tells the story of the shooting, its precipitating causes, and the aftermath for the shooter's closest friends. As in Robert Cormier's The Rag and Bone Shop (Delacorte, 2001), readers are made aware of the realistic and insidious biases different interrogators bring to their investigations. Seventeen-year-old Cameron Porter, the deceased shooter's closest friend, expresses himself one way when being debriefed by a psychologist and necessarily comes across differently when questioned by an FBI agent. Readers also are shown how such diverse types of inquiry are committed to paper with subtle but telling differences, as one interviewer asks that the transcriber retain Porter's pauses while the other directs the transcriber specifically to omit them. Other characters include the boys' one female friend, and, ultimately, Len, the shooter himself, through the clearly disturbed pages of his diary in the months leading up to the "incident." Myers uses no narrative frame other than the documents themselves and excels in providing clear and distinct voices through these interviews, notes, and reports; only the newspaper items lack a genuine ring. In addition to young adults who will find this story intensely readable as well as intense, adults working with teens should read and discuss the questions and implications that the tale reveals.-Francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley Public Library, CA Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
In this chilling cautionary tale, Myers revisits the themes of his Monster and Scorpions in a slightly more detached structure, but the outcome is every bit as moving. The novel opens with what serves as a cover sheet to a "Threat Analysis Report," which, in its mission statement, makes mention of "the tragic events of last April." Gradually, readers discover that Len Gray killed a fellow high school student before taking his own life. Through transcripts of various adults questioning Len's friends, Cameron Porter and Carla Evans, readers get to form their own opinions about how much these two may or may not have contributed to the events of that day. Myers sculpts every character here in three dimensions, including the interviewers. Dr. Ewings, the psychologist, shows compassion toward Cameron, and therefore the 17-year-old reveals to him the most intimate details of his friendship with Len and also his home life. Cameron's interview with FBI Special Agent Victoria Lash, on the other hand, puts Cameron on the defensive. When she pointedly questions Cameron about what she calls his "money-conscious" parents, he tells the agent, "They make more than most people. They make more than you do. Does that bother you?" to which she replies, "I'm white and you're black, does that bother you?" Here, no one is completely innocent and no one is entirely to blame. A myriad of small occurrences add up to the tragic outcome: blind spots on the part of teachers and coaches, parents who are consumed with their own lives and not considering how their actions have an impact on their children. Myers takes no shortcuts: all three teens are smart (readers get to know Len through his journal entries, handwritten in a somewhat deranged-looking scrawl and included as an appendix); all three consider themselves outsiders. Readers will find themselves racing through the pages, then turning back to pore over the details once more. Ages 12-up. (May) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Personal Development, Health & Physical Education
At St Benedict's, PDHPE is a broad curriculum area that covers three main strands:
Fundamental Movement and Activity
Self and Relationships
Teachers cover this curriculum through strategies such as:
Designing Integrated Units of Work that teach understandings, concepts and strategies for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Developing classroom and school-wide programs and opportunities for social skills development.
Teaching and practising physical movement skills in a variety of forms.
Incorporating expert teachers in the form of programs and clinics.
It is a requirement of all ACT schools to participate in two hours of moderate to vigourous physical movement and activity each week. In accordance with this we offer students two physical education lessons per week and a fitness program on each of the other three days.The purpose of the fitness program is to increase the students' flexibility, aerobic endurance, muscle tone and strength. During the phyiscal education lessons students participate in skill development programs that include modofied sport skills, clinics, dance, gymnastics and team games.
St Benedict's run three major carnivals through the year: Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country. These are a part of our participation in the South Canberra Primary School Sport Association (SCPSSA). All students from Kindergarten to Year 6 participate in the Athletics and Cross Country carnivals whilst students from Years 2 to 6 participate in the Swimming Carnival. Where possible students are assisted with training for these events as a part of the PE and Fitness programs.
Students are selected from these events to form a St Benedict's team at the South Canberra Carnivals. They may then be selected to represent South Canberra at the ACT Championships.
Specialist Programs
Sports clinics are organised for children to learn about and have experience in a wide range of sports including Cricket, Rugby League, Aussie Rules, Softball, Netball and Hockey. Years 3 to 6 are involved in a minimum of two clinics during the course of the year.
An intensive two week Swimming Program for our Kinder, Year 1 and Year 2 classes is conducted in Term 4 each year.
A Gymnastics Teacher is employed in Term 1 to run an intensive program for students from Years 3 to 6. Kindergarten to Year 2 receive an introductory program.
Commencing in Kindergarten children are introduced to our Perceptual Motor Program. This program, which extends to Years 1 and 2, is supported by a team of trained parent tutors.
At present our curriculum in Social Sciences is based upon the 'Every Chance To Learn: ACT Curriculum Framework'. In particular it draws upon three Essential Learning Achievements:
The student takes action to promote health
The student is physically skilled and active
The student manges self and relationships.

A garden is much more than a marked out piece of land on which plants are growing. Born out of a gardener's dream for a safe haven, the area develops its own individual atmosphere. You can collect information here, to realise your ideas. Do you want to build a kitchen garden, a lavish ornamental garden, a formal and Japanese garden, a romantic cottage garden, or even a combination of all of them? Does a dreamy water garden fit into the picture? Questions like these and many more can be answered, but they need precise planning. You have to consider paths, light and temperature conditions, soil quality and the shadowing of plants and groves. A creative garden always has central eye-catchers, like pavilions, wells, waters, or dry walls. If you do most things yourself, you can also save a great amount of money. Our practical directions will give you assistance to do so. To create an opposite pole to unalterable garden elements, perennial plants and flowerbeds can symbolise the everlasting change of becoming and passing, which will not play out without the right soil preparation and proper planting distance. In this case, big areas have different demands than a small front lawns. You should also keep in mind that not all plants will match regarding their looks and physiology. To make sure that your garden looks good even outside of the summerly blooming period, a dynamical conception should consider the course of the year. All aspects surrounding the perfect garden for your individual lifestyle can be found here.


CES is just around the corner and some of the big names have already started their marketing juggernauts to try and build up some hype for their upcoming announcements. Yesterday ASUS teased us with two short videos about an upcoming smartphone that appears to have two camera lenses, or possibly one lens and two extra sensors of some kind. The slogan to go with the videos are, "see what others can't see." ASUS' announcements are all tagged with CES2015 etc, so it is clear that the company has some big announcements coming. As well as the "see what others can't see" phone, it seems that ASUS will also refresh the ZenFone 4.
According to a listing on the official Bluetooth website, ASUS has sent in a device for certification with the model number ZC451CG. The current ZenFone 4 model numbers are A400CG and A450CG. The latter resembles the new model number quite closely. The description given for the device is even more revealing. It says the "ZC451CG is the successor of hot selling smartphone model- ZenFone, with a 4.5″ HD (480×854) display and will be using [an] Intel dual-core processor." Well that is pretty clear, thanks ASUS.
The Bluetooth listing also says that the phone will have a bigger battery at 2100 mAh.
All the ZenFones have Intel processors and it looks like nothing has changed there. Also the ZenFone 4 tends to use low resolution displays, 480 x 854 is slightly larger than the current 480 x 800. However the new model will have a slightly larger display, up from 4 inches to 4.5 inches. This actually means the new model will have a lower pixel density. One odd thing about the description is is says 4.5″ HD… HD? I don't think so.
The description goes on to mention that the device will have dual cameras… but don't even think about the teaser from yesterday, it clearly says "front and rear." Apparently the "built-in 5M/0.3M cameras provide outstanding photo and video quality." The Bluetooth listing also says that the phone will have a bigger battery at 2100 mAh. This is up from 1750 mAh on the A450CG and 1600 mAH on the A400CG.
So it looks like ASUS will launch at least two new smartphones at CES, probably more! Are you a ZenFone fan? Keen to see an update?

It is clear that the what is m&a due diligence sound familiar in the professional life. Frankly speaking, it is intricate to imagine our work without them. They are common not only in the corporations but also in the public agencies. We arrived at a decision to discuss the role of the in different kinds of activity .
The protection of the information is vitally important for work. So, it is desired to make use of the Up-to-date Deal Rooms and also to pay attention to the VPPs which will protect the files on your personal computers and tablets. What is more, on circumstances that you use the VPN, you will never go through the file leakage.
One of the best technological innovations today is the payment with the aid of the cell phones. It is to say that this method is widely spread everywhere. There is no doubt that it will come in useful to everybody on the grounds that from that point forward, you do not have to carry different credit cards.
One of the most widely used things in the deal-making are personal computers. Could you imagine your professional life without personal computers? They can be advantageous for any business dimensions and can resolve any asperities. We take advantage of personal computers both for winning money and having high time. With their aid, we play games, download films and many records, communicate with other people from the distant countries etceteras. On the other side, it all would be impossible without the Worldwide Net. The Internet is also of paramount importance for our lives. We make a search for the information there, make a search for the answers to our questions, deal with our depositors etc.
In our generation, the video conferences are prevalent. With their aid, you are allowed to be engaged in the negotiations with your fellow partners from other countries with the .
Weekly one undertaking refuses having a deal with the land-based repositories. It is so by virtue of the fact that the enterprises need more functions than just keeping the files. In these latter days, people demand the multifunctional instruments for solving varied asperities. An example of such universal instruments are the Electronic Repositories. It is a matter of course that in the first instance, they will be helpful for storing the files. Flipside, we can underline that they will provide your papers with the beyond reproach protection. Further still, they give you differing other merits. For instance, you have the possibility to organize your information, to keep in touch with your clients from various countries, to get help from the around-the-clock technical support etceteras.
The technological innovations can be useful for any business profiles, the chamber practice, the financial sector or the catering trade. In view of this, there is a need for setting eyes on the 3D printer. The most amazing thing is that today is used for the medicine.
In such a way, it should be said that there is no point in refusing the wherethrough they make our lives easier and dispose of broad-ranging benefits which go beyond their several minuses.


Sumár projektu: SMEs are Europe's motor for growth and employment. They represent 99% of all businesses in the EU and account for two thirds of EU28 employment. The availability of skilled labour is an important prerequisite to their prosperity. Nonetheless, there is a mismatch between the skills the labour market demands and those that the education and training system provides. Realising this mismatch, the European Commission has identified that quality work-based learning and apprenticeships can be an efficient way of addressing labour market imbalances. In countries, where there is a well-established apprenticeship system, such as UK, Austria and Germany, SMEs contribute strongly to the training of the future work force through their involvement in work based learning and apprenticeship schemes. On the contrary, in countries with more school based systems, like Slovakia, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Bulgaria, the engagement of SMEs in the supply of placements is more challenging as they lack the support systems and fail to realise both the financial and social benefits. The SMEs awareness of the cost-benefit analysis deriving from the work-based learning is therefore crucial in order to determine their participation to the apprenticeship system. Based on this need, "RoI of WBL and apprenticeships" project suggests the development of a return on investment (RoI) model and digital tool that will allow European SMEs to calculate and visualise how investment on WBL and apprenticeships can manifest to multiple benefits. The innovative force of the project is the focus of its model to SMEs needs as well as the integration in the model and the digital tool of both SMEs-related benefits as well as society-related ones in order to clearly demonstrate the multilevel outcomes derived from work-based learning & apprenticeship practices. The general objectives of the project are: - make apparent the benefits of WBL and apprenticeships at the level of individual SMEs and the society. - promote WBL and apprenticeships by motivating the engagement of SMEs. The direct target groups are SME's entrepreneurs, managers and staff as well as VET providers (vocational training centres, professional schools, employment centres) that cooperate with SMEs for the provision of WBL and apprenticeships. At second level, it targets VET stakeholders and policy makers, national representatives of European networks as well as VET practitioners and experts. The main results of the project are - A model for the calculation of RoI of WBL and apprenticeships by SMEs - A digital online tool that will demonstrate in visual way the RoI model - A Good Practices Guide addressed to SMEs, giving guidance on how to design, implement and monitor profitable apprenticeship practices which can benefit the enterprise, the apprentice and the entire society. - Creation and promotion of an apprenticeship-friendly SMEs badge to increase the engagement of companies in the provision of WBL. - Promotion of VET – SMEs cooperation, through experimentation and validation of the RoI model. - Organisation of promotional events addressed to SMEs entrepreneurs, VET centres and stakeholders that are interested to apply and promote the RoI model and tool. The project is implemented by 8 partners from 8 different EU countries in order to create results that will have European wide applicability and impact, including counties that are still lacking in the engagement of SMEs in WBL (Slovakia, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria), taking benefit from countries that are more advanced (UK and Italy) and using the technological knowhow of others (Cyprus). The long term benefits deriving from the project are expected to be: - increased supply of WBL and apprenticeship opportunities from SMEs - empowerment of mainly young people by expanding apprenticeship offer - better matching between skills needed by SMEs and those provided by the VET centers - increased number of VET business partnerships - contribution to the establishment of sustainable funding of WBL and apprenticeships through the self-motivation for investment from the side of the SMEs.

After Worst Shooting In US History, GOP Struggles To Answer For Its Nominee
By Lauren Fox
June 14, 2016 6:00 a.m.
In his first real test as the Republican standard bearer, Donald Trump responded to America's deadliest mass shooting in history Monday by re-upping his ban on Muslims and insinuating that President Barack Obama was somehow in cahoots with Islamic terrorists.
Trump's incendiary and divisive message increased pressure on Republican leaders on Capitol Hill who were in an already untenable position: answering for a nominee who they did not agree with on tone or even in substance.
"I am not gonna comment for Donald Trump," Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) told reporters Monday as she boarded a Capitol Hill subway. "My own personal feeling, I am very sympathetic and want to express my condolences to those family members, but I can't speak for Donald Trump."
Ernst added she didn't support any ban on Muslims coming to the United States.

When asked what he thought of Trump's response to the Orlando shooting that left 50 dead, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX) dodged the question.
"There you go again, asking me about Trump."
Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) said he hadn't "had a chance" to completely evaluate Trump's response on Monday evening.
"I am not going to make a career out of responding to every comment and every tweet," Wicker said.
Reporters kept asking. What did he think of the ban on Muslims? What about Trump's statement that Obama should resign?
"I have been on a train and I haven't had a chance to look at any of those," Wicker said.
"I expect the president will not resign," he added.
The magnitude of the tragedy over the weekend and Trump's response to it, once again put Republican senators in the hot seat as they were forced to contend Monday with both their nominee and the growing call to pass Democratic- sponsored legislation that they say would keep guns out of the hands of potential terrorists.
"You know, I'm just not gonna comment on stuff, we've gone through this before," Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) said on how to combat gun violence. "We're looking at the terrorist, which I was pleased to see that Secretary Clinton did refer to him as Islamic terrorist. I think that's an important step for her to make."
Democrats said Monday morning that they planned to once again bring up an amendment that would ban individuals on the terrorist watchlist from legally purchasing firearms. The Senate voted back in December on the measure. It failed mostly along party lines.
"Let 'em all vote against a bill we are going to bring up as soon as we can [on] the terrorist watchlist. Let 'em all vote no again on that. See how the American people like that," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) told reporters Monday.
The alleged Orlando shooter, Omar Mateen, had legally purchased the two guns he used in the shooting. He had been questioned by the FBI, but was no longer on the terrorism watch list when he bought the guns so it is unlikely the proposed legislation would have been able to stop him from purchasing the guns.
Republicans argued Monday that the real solution wasn't another gun law, but to expand surveillance capabilities of the FBI.
"The question I would ask them is, 'Do you actually want to stop these things from happening?' because this guy was not on the watch list. He'd been investigated twice and the FBI had cleared him so he was not on the watchlist," Cornyn said. "This is really a counterterrorism debate. This isn't just about guns."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) would not comment on what the Senate would do next or if they would move forward with expanding FBI surveillance abilities.
"I'm my usual loquacious self right now," McConnell said.

Q: Why is the timeout on a windows udp receive socket always 500ms longer than set by SO_RCVTIMEO? Easy to reproduce, here is the psuedo code of what i am doing:

*

*Set up a UDP socket

*Set the timeout to a value (Timeout set)

*Check the timeout that I set (Timeout checked)

*Attempt to receive on that socket (when there is no traffic).

*Time how long it takes to timeout. (Time until Timeout)

When I do this i get the following output:
Timeout set: 0.1s | Timeout checked: 0.1s | Time until timeout: 0.6s | difference: 0.5s
Timeout set: 0.2s | Timeout checked: 0.2s | Time until timeout: 0.7s | difference: 0.5s
Timeout set: 0.4s | Timeout checked: 0.4s | Time until timeout: 0.9s | difference: 0.5s
Timeout set: 0.8s | Timeout checked: 0.8s | Time until timeout: 1.3s | difference: 0.5s
Timeout set: 1.6s | Timeout checked: 1.6s | Time until timeout: 2.1s | difference: 0.5s
Timeout set: 3.2s | Timeout checked: 3.2s | Time until timeout: 3.7s | difference: 0.5s

Why does the windows udp socket timeout always run 500ms longer than that set in setsockopt?
Looking at setsockopt here I can see no information about why this is occurring under the sections involving SO_RCVTIMEO.

Code to reproduce:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "winsock2.h"
#include <chrono>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    WORD wVersionRequested;
    WSADATA wsaData;

    wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD(2, 2);
    int err = WSAStartup(wVersionRequested, &wsaData);
    if (err != 0) {
        printf("WSAStartup failed with error: %d\n", err);
        while (true);
    }

    sockaddr_in socketAddress = { 0 };
    socketAddress.sin_family = PF_INET;
    socketAddress.sin_port = htons(1010);
    socketAddress.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;

    // Create the socket
    SOCKET mSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);
    if (!mSocket) {
        printf("Socket failed with error code : %d", WSAGetLastError());
        while (true);
    }

    //Bind
    if (bind(mSocket, (struct sockaddr *)&socketAddress, sizeof(socketAddress)) == SOCKET_ERROR) {
        printf("Bind failed with error code : %d", WSAGetLastError());
        while (true);
    }

    // Receive nothing over several different set timeouts
    for (double timeout = 0.1; timeout < 4.0; timeout *= 2) {

        // Set timeout
        DWORD lBuffer[2] = { 0, 0 };
        int lSize;
        lBuffer[0] = static_cast<DWORD>(1000.0 * timeout);
        lSize = sizeof(DWORD);
        if (setsockopt(mSocket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, (char*)lBuffer, lSize) != 0) {
            printf("Set socket option failed with error code : %d", WSAGetLastError());
            while (true);
        }

        // Check that we get what we set.
        DWORD lBufferout[2] = { 0, 0 };
        if (getsockopt(mSocket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, (char*)lBufferout, &lSize) != 0) {
            printf("Set socket option failed with error code : %d", WSAGetLastError());
            while (true);
        }

        // Receive and time
        char buffer[50];
        sockaddr_in senderAddr;
        int senderAddrSize = sizeof(senderAddr);

        auto s = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();

        int transferred = recvfrom(mSocket, (char*)buffer, 50, 0,
            (sockaddr*)&senderAddr, &senderAddrSize);

        auto duration = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::milliseconds>(std::chrono::steady_clock::now() - s).count() / 1000.0;

        std::cout << "Timeout set: " << timeout << "s | Timeout checked: " << lBufferout[0] / 1000.0 << "s | Time until timeout: " << duration << "s | difference: " << duration - timeout << "s\n";
    }

    while (true);

    return 0;
}

Note: This code is expecting there to be no traffic on port 1010. If this is not the case, change that number.

A: It is stated here:

There is an undocumented minimum limit of about 500mS on SO_RCVTIMEO.

It is likely that this is implemented by always adding 500ms to any value set for SO_RCVTIMEO.

It appears to be a 1980s Chinese copy of a 1950s Jawa 250.
wow !! if that had been nearer i'd have had a bid at that price !!
The side panels presumably prevent easy carburetter theft.
I'm not sure lovely is the word, but you wouldn't loose it at a bike meet (no matter how hard you tried!).
Mrs Hooli says burn it lots then sink it in the pond.
Thing is, for £132 you could afford to throw those sidepanels in the pond and find something better looking. It'd be possible to make it up as some kind of fake Brit or Italian bike, just for a bit of fun. And bargain bits from autojumbles would give you the components at low cost with careful buying.
£132 is a fair bit more than I'd have paid for it !
I think it'd be possible to put it back on the road quite cheaply using Jawa parts.
With decent two-smoke oil it might even be reasonably reliable !


Fakkz is a fantastic piece of trance music! Edmundh's track contains a unique melody and driving bass. Outstanding!
Indonesian duo Kiyoi & Eky adding more energy and club suitable elements. The breakdown is a piece of art. WOW!

Pope John Paul II's blood stolen from church

Pope John Paul II's blood stolen from church Rare relic taken from Italian church; police speculate that Satanists may be behind theft. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: http://usat.ly/1e2nVrF

Blood stolen from church in Italy's Abruzzo region
Only three known relics with John Paul II's blood
Some of his blood was saved after assassination attempt in 1981
A vial of Pope John Paul II's blood has been stolen ... by Satanists?
The first part is fact, the second speculation. NBC News reports that the relic was taken on Saturday from the Church of San Pietro della Ienca, which is located in central Italy's Abruzzo region.
Reuters reports the only other item taken from the church was a crucifix, leading police to believe this may have been a commissioned hit — and that the intended use could be something to do with Satanic rituals, noting resale would be highly difficult.
That difficulty may be due in part to its rarity: The Independent reports there are only three known relics containing the late pope's blood in existence; some of his blood was saved after the 1981 attempt on his life.
MORE NEWSER: Sochi mayor: There are no gays here
And it's actually not the first theft involving John Paul II's blood, though the 2012 instance was seemingly less intentional: a priest transporting a relic containing the blood in his backpack had that backpack stolen. It was later found.
Now, some 50 police and sniffer dogs are combing the area (a favorite ski destination of the pope, who liked to quietly pray in the church, reports Reuters) looking for the missing vial. The value of that relic may be rising soon: The late pope will be made a saint in April.

A Monument to the Founder of SAMBO, Vasily Oschepkov, was unveiled in Vladivostok
12 September 2012 Sergei Grishin
On September 9 in Vladivostok (Russia) in Olimpiets Sports Complex a solemn ceremony was held in the memory of Vasily Sergeyevich Oschepkov, the founder of SAMBO Russian sport and unique self-protection system, one of the first Russian Japanologists and the first Russian to get Master's degree in Kodokan Judo.
The ceremony coincided with Vasily Sergeyevich's 120 birthday anniversary. On this day in the hall of Olimpiets the Japanese judo representatives and Russian SAMBO representatives solemnly unveiled a bust monument to the famous wrestler and coach which after a while will be placed next to the Sports Complex for everyone to see.
FIAS delegation during these celebrations, important for development of combat sports in Russia, was represented by the President Mr. Vasily Shestakov and Senior Vice-President Mr. Andrey Klyamko.
Among the high-ranking guests there were also present participants of APEC Summit, which was held during those days in Vladivostok. The Japanese part was represented by the Chairman of the Solidarity of International Judo Education organisation, an Olympic Champion and a World Champion Mr. Yasuhiro Yamashita, by a member of FIAS Executive Committee Mr. Nobuyuki Asai and the President of Mitsui Company Mr. Masami Iijima.
At the first glance one might think that the Japanese delegation included only judo representatives, yet actually all of its representatives were big SAMBO amateurs, which specifically in Japan is currently developing very actively. The Japanese team is already preparing for performance at Universiade 2013 in Kazan and, knowing the level of Judo development in Japan one may expect that the representatives of the Land of the Rising Sun won't leave the students' forum with just one medal. And such an increase of interest in SAMBO in Japan happened specifically due to the activities of Mr. Yasuhiro Yamashita, who respects this combat sport and expects it to have a great future in the modern sports world.
As part of the celebration activities the young judoists were given a unique opportunity. The legendary judoist Mr. Yasuhiro Yamashita shared his wrestling secrets with them during a master class for young sportsmen.
On commenting the event that took place, Vasily Shestakov said: "FIAS poses ambitious objectives to itself, in next couple years we're planning to enter the Olympics family. And I am convinced that for us, SAMBO amateurs and fans, a dignified response to what Vasily Sergeyevich, in whose memory we are gathered together today, accomplished would be to achieve the goal stating that our Russian SAMBO, which is already international, in time would be honoured with the distinguished title of Olympic sport".

Test Post – Launch of the Investment Migration Council Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
The Investment Migration Council (IMC), the worldwide association of professionals dealing with investor immigration and citizenship-by-investment, has today publicly launched the industry's first worldwide Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.
The main components of the code include specific sections on:
Integrity and ethical practice
Regulatory compliance and continuing professional development
The work of developing the code was carried out by the IMC secretariat, in collaboration with the IMC's Governing Board and Advisory Committee representing a number of academic and professional practice experts.
It was at a recent major conference that Bruno L'ecuyer, the organisation's CEO, affirmed that the Geneva-based association would provide a code of ethics and a set of 'rules' for its members to follow as part of its promise of setting professional practice and business ethics principles on a global level.
IMC Chairman Prof. Dr. Dimitry Kochenov commented: "The vast majority of people who work in the residency and citizenship by investment industry are honest professionals and businesses who seek to provide the highest standards for their clients. The IMC Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct clearly defines the expectations of the basic standards and behaviour for everyone in the industry and brings all practitioners at par with other trusted professions that have such codes, like those in law or accountancy."
Major firms and practitioners globally have welcomed the code with enthusiasm; Austin Fragomen, Founder and President of Fragomen Worldwide said "An important role of the IMC is to establish a uniform code of ethics and professional conduct across the world for service providers. Trust and reliability are essential ingredients for the representatives of private clients seeking migration assistance. What the IMC is providing with this code is a verifiable credential of integrity and transparency."
The code is immediately applicable to all members of the IMC as a condition of membership. The IMC is confident that through such initiatives, the standards of the industry will be elevated and will support its overall mission to set levels of professionalism in relation to residence and citizenship-by-investment worldwide and also create a culture of transparency in the sector which serves the UHNWI community of global citizens.

Cavalier With A Candle.

05/11/73 (Waddon)
Guy Fawkes' Night – which will add some vague, visual and historical, romantic poetics to an otherwise quite commonplace tale – I discovered a cat, a tiny, shadow of a cat, on the front door mat. She mouthed a yellow miaow, which is cat chat for thank you (I picked up some cat, not to any great degree, back east. I get by:
Wake up. I'm hungry.
This mouse is broken.
When's the next train to…
She ran between my legs and disappeared into the living room, where she took refuge beneath the bed that was kept there. Her arrival that night was heralded with exploding trumpets, a galaxy of Catherines, with snare drum tattoos and with hammered air. Stukas strafed the back yard revellers and Wellesley Road was shattered into (easily) one hundred pieces, revealing the commonplace to be even more diabolical than usual. The rhomboid houses, menacing; the yellow, rain filled belljars, trembling; the slow traffic of people and metal, bending; the rise and fall of voices, unholy, all took on a new nature, bowing like windblown glass, just enough, to allow a glimpse of a something other, before shrinking, shrieking back to mundanity again.
The following morning she came out from under there and taking in her new surroundings, jumped up onto the bed. She had three black paws and one white. She licked her white paw, drew it over her face, like this. She never gave her name, but came, on occasion, to Boots. She came and went as she pleased, sleeping away the winter on the clean, warm bed. The late morning light enlivening the room. She loved that. She sought the winter sun in the unkempt yard and beyond the fence of an afternoon. She loved the yellow crochet blanket adorning the bed. She said she loved it here.
It was a single, simple bed by the window, behind the sofa. It no longer seemed unusual. Luella and I moved it from the old bedroom and set it up in the living room for her mother's return. But she never came. Luella says she dreams of her in black and white. She keeps her ashes in the cupboard underneath the stairs. "She says she likes it there."
Christmas, Luella invited her dealer over. "He's got nowhere else to go." Dips had been thrown out of his basement due to his landlord kicking up a stink over four months unpaid rent and the issue of a small fire that had broken out in the greasy kitchen blackening the ceramic back splash and the ceiling above the hob. He stayed until late February, at least.
The winter sun barely rose and fell above the fence and the radiators groaned and the utility company wrote needy letters. We spent an extraordinary amount of time in the living room. Luella looking old hunching over the coffee table smoothing black foil, smoothing silver foil. She chews her nails and hair dye stains everything. Dips, stinking of take away, shaking throwaway lighters, cavalier with a candle, always nodding on the sofa, careless and cussing in Hindu. There are black smudges on his hands. Boots sleeps on the clean sheet, the blanket. She knows how to live.
I laid on the carpet, the couch being crowded and covered in crumbs. I listened to a cassette of The Man Who Sold The World all winter on a pair of yellow head phones.
Boots asks me one morning, how come I don't go out more. "I loves the sun," she says. "The winter sun's a promise of what's to come." I think I get it. I like the sound of it anyway.
"When I was at primary school," I say. "I won third prize in a daffodil competition. All the class grew a bulb under the stairs over winter. I won a black and white photo of my yellow runner-up. It made me feel good, made me dream in colour." But she was asleep again.
I wrote a postcard soon after in a bright windowed cafe in Cardiff. I wanted to say hi, to say sorry. I wanted to explain. But didn't. Couldn't. Postcards. I filled the palm sized space with my shrinking black hand without getting that far, even snaking lines way back along the margins and finally (though not so successfully) onto the glossy image on the front, where I penned the horseman in his feathered hat and his raised and wind-torn torch, to be saying "I hope this finds you well, dear L" and his white horse to be saying with a big toothed smile 'Hello Boots!'
'01/03/__
…businessmen and old men and bent women in tweed wore daffodil emblems on their lapels; unembarrassed youths clutched bunches of blooms; children wore yellow, etc. So, I stopped at a stall on the concourse and bought a stem wrapped neatly with a band of foil and a small safety pin and I fixed it to my jumper – when in Rome, ha ha! After the interview (I'll get to that!) explored the city and when the rain came I ducked into this cafe in King's Cross and had a pot of tea. There was a local paper on the table and I went to the classifieds. Only realised, after several pages, that it was St. David's!…'

Boots is quite a compelling character in this story.
Sounds like Boots has life all worked out … KISS…
' I won a black and white photo of my yellow runner-up. It made me feel good, made me dream in colour.' 👌 Nice to know you speak cat as well!
"The winter sun's a promise of what's to come." ~ I like the sound of it too.
Nick, another literary treat with captivating characters, both human and feline.
thanks, michele lee.

FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb says the government shutdown has led the agency to halt inspections of domestic food-processing facilities.
The FDA oversees the inspection of 80% of the U.S. food supply.
Gottlieb is working to bring back enough furloughed inspectors into high-risk facilities to prevent an increase in food-borne illnesses.
Will you be more choosy when you grocery shop while the FDA's inspectors have been furloughed?
Should the U.S. government be held responsible for any deaths that result from the FDA's inability to inspect the nation's food supply?

The Weight | PFC Song Around The World
"The global unity in the Playing For Change concept is phenomenal. Collaboration in music is everything and this is the epitome of that."
– Robbie Robertson
In honor of it's 50th anniversary, Playing For Change has partnered with Cambria® to bring you The Weight, our newest Song Around The World, featuring Robbie Robertson of The Band. Released in 1968, the song was written by Robertson, and has since survived the decades as an uplifting and uniting classic, engrained in our global musical history. The Weight is a song that reminds us of our humanity, connects us in our individual struggles, and teaches us to be kind to one another. With lessons like these, we learn that we are one human race, connected through music, and that we are all alike in our hardships we face.
This Song Around The World is dedicated to The Band, with special thanks to its members; Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, and Robbie Robertson.
The Musicians
To help us celebrate this monumental moment for The Weight, we recorded musicians from all over to share their weight with the world. The video features longtime greats like Ringo Starr and Robbie Robertson himself, PFC's own Roberto Luti, Keiko Komaki, Mermans Mosengo, and Robin Moxey. Additionally, we're thrilled to welcome both old and new faces alike, including John Cruz and Lukas Nelson.
The humble son of Willie Nelson, Lukas is a soulful and inspiring country artist as well as the latest musician to join us in the movement to bring peace through music. Recently, we met with him in Venice, CA to record this song.
While new to the movement, Lukas has continually done his part in breathing new life into timeless songs from our past. In collaborating with Playing For Change, he had this to say about the power of music and the people who listen:
"I'm honored to be a part of this community of good humans doing good things… music is a connecting force that spans cultures and brings them together .. may we continue to learn about each other through the rhythms and the notes we play."
– Lukas Nelson
Great songs can travel everywhere bridging what divides us and inspiring us to see how easily we all get along when the music plays. Spanning 5 continents, this song is yet another example of the special connection we all share through music, and the seamless way in which we can unite across borders and barriers that stand between us.
Special thanks to our partner Cambria® for helping to make this possible and to Robbie Robertson, Ringo Starr and all the musicians for joining us in celebrating 50 years of this classic song.

I really wish I could be blogging more than I am this week. We go back to school on Monday and today was our open house. I feel incredibly blessed to have met most of my little ones today, but this week has been exhausting. I know my blog has been slow this week and I promise I will get back to blogging more as soon as I can.
Today I spent the day cleaning and organizing my classroom. I can't wait until my room is completely put together. Here is what I got done today.
It was a lot of work, but each year it gets easier. I wanted to share some tips that make it a little easier to set your room up. When you finish reading this post, check out the "What's Your Room Look Like?" linky party at Empowering Little Learners for more ideas.
1. Gather your supplies. Think about what things you will need as you set up your room. Put them in one place or wear an apron and put the little stuff in it.
2. Make a plan. I measure my room and furniture. I usually map out where I want the furniture on paper before I start moving it. Think about how you want to use the space as you make your plan. Make sure you allow adequate space for traffic flow. Think about visibility. Will you be able to see all of your students?
3. If your furniture goes against the walls, do your bulletin boards first. Otherwise move the furniture, then clean, and decorate last. Having your furniture in place will help you visualize how you want to decorate. Plus, if you run out of time at least the basic room set up is done and things are clean.
3. Ask for help! Get a friend or the custodian to help move large furniture with you. If I need to move stuff alone I like to use furniture glider pads or small carpet pads to move furniture.
Kinder Fun is having a "Facebook Mixer" linky party. Come take a lookWho's on FacebookI'm there you'll seeI hope you'll like me!
One of my all-time favorite blogs, Clutter-Free Classroom, is having a linky party on the resolutions teachers are making for the new school year. If you have some, link up and share them at her party. Just click here.
I have two resolutions for this year. Since people are more likely to accomplish goals when they tell other people about them, I am going to share my resolutions with you.
1. I REALLY want to be more organized. I want to be more organized at home and at work. Life just goes smoother when I am organized. I have spent a few days at school working on decluttering and organizing my materials, but I know I will need to continue working on it every day to get to the point where I feel really organized. I have been using Fly Lady to help me establish routines and organization.
2. I've been a blog stalker for a while and recently started working on my blog and TPT store. I really want to grow them both. I'd love to see them take off this year. I've been using Teaching Blog Traffic School to help me learn how to get it off the ground and I've used the video tutorials at Ladybug's Teacher Files to help me tweak my site.
Have you heard of Pinterest?
Pinterest is basically an online bulletin board where you can save ideas from websites in a visual format. Michelle's Math in the Middle is having a Pinterest Party. You can browse the blogs and look for the Follow Me on Pinterest buttons too. What a great way to see what ideas other teachers are gathering and find some new blogs too!
Saturday Share & Fabulous Fall Freebie Linky Party!
It's that time of year when I spend hours gathering ideas and activities for the Fall. Since I know I am not the only one searching for these ideas, I thought it would be fun to have a Fabulous Fall Freebie Linky Party. So please visit the blogs below and check out what other teachers are doing this Fall.
If you are a blogger please link up below. The only requirements are that you share at least one freebie that you use with your class during the Fall season. I can't wait to see your ideas.
I am going to kick of this linky party by sharing one of my favorite activities for the beginning of the year. I want my students to embrace their differences and celebrate their strengths.
So, I always read a related book. We talk about how everyone has a special strengths and skills that make them special. This year I am going to extend it by having the kids complete a bubble map and drawing, which will be used to complete a short writing activity. The students will have a chance to tell the class about themselves and I will post their writing in the hall. You can grab the file I use for the bubble map and writing assignment here.
This post has now been added to Teach Blog Addicts Ultimate Linky Party. Stop by and see some other great linky parties.

GM never considered building C7 & C8 together (???)
meyerweb
Forum Founder, Sr. Content Contributor & Patron
From GM Authority:
http://gmauthority.com/blog/2019/07/simultaneous-corvette-c8-and-c7-production-never-even-considered/
Now that the all-new 2020 Corvette C8 has officially made its big debut, all those rumors we've collected over the past years are finally being put to the test. One of of the rumors, like the one that Chevrolet would offer the Corvette C8 in a right-hand drive version, turned out to be true, while others, like the one about a surprise debut for the C8 at the 2019 North American International Auto Show, not so much. And now, we know that GM never intended to produce the all-new C8 alongside the outgoing Corvette C7.
During the July 18th debut of the 2020 Corvette in Tustin, California, we asked GM President, Mark Reuss, if GM ever considered simultaneous production of the C8 and C7. Reuss responded by saying, "That wasn't something that we planned. This [mid-engine Corvette C8] was always the replacement."
This is particularly noteworthy as it demonstrates that GM had always intended the new mid-engine 2020 Corvette to completely replace the outgoing Corvette C7, rather than create a separate sub-family of Corvette models, as was rumored in the months leading up to the C8's reveal.
While we're still on the fence as to whether or not the new 2020 Corvette will be as much of a commercial success as the C7 when it comes to sales over the long haul, Chevy seems committed to offering its most famous sports car nameplate exclusively with a mid-engine configuration going forward, making the C7 last-ever front-engined Corvette ever produced.
For many, the hype of the new 2020 Corvette C8 will stay strong well after the first examples start rolling into dealers, and memories of the C7 won't be twinged with a sense of longing for "the way things used to be." We certainly hope that's the case for the majority, and that the tidal wave of support for the C8 we're seeing since the car's debut can translate to actual sales figures.
That doesn't match the statement from the company that manufacturers the body panels that they were going to continue production of C7 panels alongside "the new model." Unless they were referring only to making a small number of replacement parts for crash repair.

You are right IMO meyerweb, for Continental Structural Plastics was never considering just replacement panels, but instead had applied for and received funding to build a major second building strictly for the new gen Corvette specifically mentioning a two year overlap in two different Corvette lines. Please read this article for corroboration:
Originally posted by HuntingtonCountyTab
CSP could be awarded "two significant product lines" that would launch in 2019, Reid said. The first line would be body p[anels for the new generation of Corvettes. The body panels now being made in Huntington are for the current C7 Corvette; Reid says the plant is working to win the right to manufacture body panels for the eighth generation of the sports car.
The current model would continue to be manufactured for two years after production of the new model begins, Reid said, necessitating the addition of 110,000 to 130,000 square feet to the current 165,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
"We want to expand the facility so we can make both at the same time," he said.

The C7/C8 side by side production never made sense. Especially with C7s declining sales. That rumor was started based on certain individuals , and I am not one of them, believing that the C8 would be over the top in cost. The main change/concern to the car overall and stated as such by Tadge was the transmission. Yes the engine was moved to the back but was this new technology ? NO. Did it add to the cost of production ??? Evidently not or obviously NOT. The C8 is priced at sub 60K.
I think this is also an interesting case of not going to the boss until the decision has been made. Reuss only every heard the final decision--the C8 is the one and only Corvette going forward. Tadge has said otherwise elsewhere:
Vette: We have been asked the question why did you not keep building the amazing C7 and make this Corvette's halo car in the $160,000 range?
TJ: We thought about it for a while, but as the design of this car evolved we realized that it was so good we could offer it for $60,000. Our state of the art Bowling Green Production facility is fully capable of producing this new Corvette. It will be built with exceptional quality at this price point.

There was another quote somewhere (can't find a link) where he said when you see a C8 and C7 next to each other you can't sell a C7. That is partly marketing hype but they obviously felt it true enough not to pursue the C7 and C8 being sold simultaneously.

The C7/C8 side by side production never made sense. Especially with C7s declining sales. That rumor was started based on certain individuals , and I am not one of them, believing that the C8 would be over the top in cost. .
It wasn't a rumor, it was a formal request by the manufacturer of the C7's body panels to expand to plant to support two car lines. And at the time that request was made (February 2016), C7 sales were still going strong. I suspect declining sales of the C7 are what changed GM's original plans to continue to overlap the two models.
And, as Colorado posted immediately above, there was consideration within GM to make the ME a much more expensive halo car.

GM was smart to realize that they would have joined the ranks of Acura and the NSX selling only a handful of cars at that $160k and over price point. Keeping the cost around the amount for a C7 really made it pointless for them to have 2 simultaneous versions in production at the same time. Sure they would still sell some C7's that were manual, ust because they are front engine or just because they look so good, but when you can get the performance and improvements made to the C8 at the same price point, I think it's gonna sell at least as well as the C7. GM committed and now they are fully behind that commitment to the C8.
