The Park Service is Going Rogue (And Kayak Guides Should Too)
February 12, 2017 David & Brittney Cannamore	1 Comment
Last summer was the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. In Glacier Bay National Park, they spared no pomp or circumstance. Every poster, every talk, every presentation was prefaced, footnoted, and concluded with a reminder that they had hit the century mark. It got kind of comical after awhile. When someone reminded me that it was the 100th anniversary I feigned surprise:
"Really? They should have told someone about it!"
It was all capped with the opening of a traditional Tlingit Tribal House near park headquarters, complete with carved canoes paddled by the Huna Tlingit across Icy Strait and into Bartlett Cove. The day dawned with fog choking visibility to less than a mile. Flights were canceled. Lisa Murkowski was trapped in Juneau, 65-miles from her photo op. Sweet sweet justice.
As I floated in my kayak that day and watched the triumvirate of canoes emerge from the mist and heard the chants and beating of drums, the hair stood up on my neck. It was one of the most impressive and moving moments I've ever experienced. A powerful reminder that this place has meant something of incalculable significance to humanity for centuries.
But I also felt a twinge of annoyance that the NPS had chosen to do this on their anniversary. After decades of animosity between the federal government and Huna Tlingit, I felt conflicted on how I felt that it was done on the Park's day. Perhaps I was picking nits. After all, the NPS had footed the bill for the place. I'm just some punk kayak guide who fancies himself a writer and by extension is a critic of the human condition. I've questioned the Park's intentions before, scoffed at the cruise ship industry running amok in the west arm, and the damn "UnCruises" and their new "high usage" back country areas.
Fast forward a few months.
All of a sudden my critiques feel like the meaningless spats between a married couple. Was I really complaining about the Park Service leaving their metaphorical dirty dishes in the sink? Was I really all worked up because now 50 people were allowed to walk along a trail next to Reid Glacier instead of 12? My life was so simple I had the time to bitch about the Norwegian Pearl interrupting my morning as I looked down Johns Hopkins Inlet.
Now I look at the Park Service the same way Rey looks at Luke Skywalker.
It's like a mixture of "I Am Spartacus" and "This is Sparta!" Between the Badlands National Park going rogue on Twitter to the new "Alt-National Park Service" movement, I've never been prouder to be affiliated with the Park Service. Right now I'm just hoping there's going to be a "backcountry" in four years and argue about.
Knowing the people I do that work for the NPS, this defiance shouldn't be a surprise. For many, if not all of them, their work is not just a job. No, people work for the parks because they genuinely care. Trump didn't expect that. He assumed they were a bunch of good little worker bees that wouldn't say a word as long as they kept their jobs. Guess what buddy? You just kicked the hive to discover the bees were hornets, and they'll be damned if you're going to take America's honey from them.
But he's going to try to muzzle them. We've seen it already with the EPA and when he forbid the Park Service from tweeting after they posted a photo comparing how small Trump's hands crowd was at the inauguration.
One of the biggest jobs in Glacier Bay during the summer falls to the Interpretive Rangers. A crew of patient, knowledgable, and energetic folks who step onto each cruise ship that passes the park boundary to tell people what the hell they're seeing and handle such cracker jack questions as:*
"does the water go all the way around that island?"
"Is that glacier made of salt? Is that why the water's salty?"
"Are there polar bears on the glacier?"
"Do you believe in climate change?"
(*these are real questions)
Ah, yes, climate change. First, stop asking, "do you believe?" This is not a religion. There is no Church of Global Warming. You can chose to accept the facts or not. They exist whether you "believe" in them or not. It's science, irrefutable science.
For the past eight years, NPS rangers have been able to calmly and accurately regurgitate the facts of respected scientists from across the globe, explaining the uncontrolled growth of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere, the uncontrollable rise in ocean temperatures, and the extreme unlikelihood that human beings are innocent.
But of course the angry Oompa Loompa isn't going to let people discuss a Chinese conspiracy on his dime. Which isn't actually anything new. Park rangers were forbidden from discussing the effects of Climate change during Bush's second term. Maybe, just maybe it had something to do with Dick Cheney's ties to the oil industry. Just maybe.
So the Park is once again going to be shackled by the irrational opinions of the man in the White House. So while the Park Service may have to have a more muted level of public resistance. Though I would anticipate several "off the record" conversations aboard those cruise ships this summer. But the kayak guides have no such shackles. We can say what we want and do what we want as long as we don't harass marine mammals and get five star reviews on TripAdvisor.
So the mission statement has changed a lot from: give people a nice lunch, talk about John Muir, and maybe see a Humpback to a full blown: Edward Abbey and the Monkey Wrench Gang recruitment poster.
Wilderness guides have the incredible opportunity to impact people from across the globe (as long as they're not from Middle Eastern countries where Voldemort doesn't have any business ties). When people come in contact with the physical world and dig their toes in the sand or walk through a forest framed with Devils Club, their hearts and minds open. There is a golden opportunity to get through to people, or at the very least, get them to listen. I've convinced "if it can't be grown it must be mined" Republicans that maybe, just maybe, Common Murres are worth more than coal, at least for an afternoon.
The point is, people listen to the guide. Partly because their lives depend on it, partly because it is insanely obvious that we give a shit about these places. We care so much about something so much bigger than us and it shines through. And if the Park Service really can't talk publicly about the threats this wanna be emperor is creating for these places, it's up to us speak even louder, scream it at the top of our lungs to everyone we meet.
People are desperate to act and fight back. Many of them will be rushing to their parks this summer to get a good look at America's Greatest Idea in case they disappear. They won't. The Park Service has made that clear. The American people have too. Did you notice how fast that bill to sell off public land disappeared? Being a guide has always been about trying to change people and impact their lives. That's still the case. But it's something bigger now. Now I'm arming people to fight back, to take their experiences and wield them as a weapon. And as the Park Service continues to resist, it will be an honor to stand beside them every step of the way.

A CSA box from Robson's Farm in North Hanover. (Rose Robson)
By Brielle Urciuoli | The Times of Trenton

Though the snowy grounds may not be ideal conditions for planting, Rose Robson, owner of Robson's Farm in North Hanover, has already planted fruits and vegetables in her greenhouse to get a head start on this year's season.
After all, she's expecting to double the amount of customers in the farm's buying club — a community-supported agriculture program that can bring fresh fruit and vegetables to customers' doorsteps.
While last Saturday was national CSA signup day, Robson's accepts rolling signups throughout the season, where people can sign up for a full season of pickup or delivery of fresh fruit and vegetables, pay on a week-to-week or month-to-month basis, or build their own box.
Robson was confident that her projection for this year's membership can be reached.
"I really hope to double the amount of last year," she said.
Matt Conver, owner of the Cherry Grove Organic Farm in Princeton said that he has been accepting signups for their CSA program since early January.
"We cap it out at 300 and we reach it pretty much every year," he said of the farm's CSA membership.
And though the snow hasn't even melted yet, Chickadee Creek Farm in Pennington, run by Jess Neiderer, has almost reached its 250 member limit — a number that has grown since last year's 200-member cap.
"We've just had a slow and steady growth approach," Neiderer said.
Conver said he can have just as successful of a season as last year if the weather allows.
"The demand's out there," he said. "It's ultimately down to the weather."
While local farm CSA membership continues to grow, Neiderer said most farms are not looking to best the other crop-growers down the road, but the ones across the country.
"We're not necessarily competing with other local farms, but farms in California," she said, noting that that is where most supermarket fruits and vegetables are grown.
"People just really want to be close to the farm," Robson said.
A list of farms that offer CSA programs is available at jerseyfresh.nj.gov.

Priocnemis coriacea is a large species of pepsine spider wasp characterised by having plentiful erect hair on the face and propodeum. It is a member of the subgenus Umbripennis.

Distribution
P. coriacea is an uncommon species which is scarce in central Europe, rare in northern and southern Europe. In Great Britain it is widely distributed through southern and central England.

Habitat
P. coriacea shows a preference for light soils in open habitats such as downland and thinly wooded heathland.

Biology
In Great Britain the flight period is April to August, although it has been stated that June may be the latest date.

No prey items have been recorded, but it is likely that P. coriacea takes larger species of the families Lycosidae and Gnaphosidae. Its nesting biology is largely unknown but members of Priocnemis generally use pre-existing cavities and then excavate a number of cells within them. The only flower which P. coriacea has been recorded feeding on is wood spurge, but it may visit a wide range of flowers, so long as they have short corollas.

The Pierra Menta has been an annual competition of ski mountaineering at Arêches-Beaufort in the region of Beaufort, Savoie south-eastern France since 1986. The Pierra Menta is one of the three best known races of the Alps (les grandes trois de ski de montagne) besides the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Trofeo Mezzalama.

Pierra Menta is a stage of La Grande Course that includes the most important ski mountaineering competitions of the season.

The athletes have to travel a cumulative altitude difference of around 10 000 meters, both ascending and skiing down. The race track is to be completed in teams of two and it varies year by year. The distance for the younger classes is shorter.

Help us #StopLine3
A new tar sands pipeline is wrong for MN
Our goal is to stop Enbridge Energy from constructing a new tar sands oil pipeline across northern Minnesota. Through the Stop Line 3 Campaign, our pipeline resistance team supports, organizes, and mobilizes Minnesotans in opposition of Enbridge Energy's pipeline.
WHAT IS LINE 3?
Enbridge Energy has proposed plans for the construction of a tar sands oil pipeline. The proposed route reaches from Canada's tar sands region through northern Minnesota to Superior, Wisconsin. This route would cut across sacred Indegenous land, violating treaties, and 192 bodies of water including the Mississippi River, twice, threatening clean water supplies.Tar sands crude oil is a carbon-intensive oil which carries up to 37% more carbon than conventional oil making it far more potent and volatile.
The urgency of climate change motivates the Pipeline Resistance Team to build a movement in an effort to stop the construction of new crude oil pipelines proposed for Minnesota. The team engages at hearings, organizes marches and events, creates resistance artwork, uses peaceful and civil disobedience, and builds powerful coalitions. The PRT is organized into four working teams, media and communications, action, base building, and targeting elected officials/state agencies. All are welcome to join.
#STOPLINE3 PLEDGE OF RESISTENCE
Join thousands of Minnesotans in choosing people over pipelines. Show up for a just and healthy future by signing the Pledge of Resistance.
Sign up here to be placed on MN350 Action's email list. You will receive updates on key issues in the struggle for climate justice, see some of the work that MN350 Action does, and hear about opportunities to join in the fight for a sustainable future

Why journalists must be allowed to pay and reward their sources
November 21, 2017 11.22am EST
Tim Crook, Goldsmiths, University of London
Professor in Media and Communication, Goldsmiths, University of London
Tim Crook is affiliated with the Chartered Institute of Journalists as chair of its Professional Practices Board.
Robert Norman helped shine a light on serious social issues. He exposed cutbacks in national detention security, highlighted prison safety concerns, and exposed failures to contain and manage convicted terrorists.
He was able to do all of this because of his job. But Norman was not a politician or campaigner – he was a prison officer who contacted the Daily Mirror newspaper to share information he had gleaned from his work.
Norman did so in the belief he would receive the protection of journalist source confidentiality. Instead, he was sentenced to 20 months in prison and had to sell his house to pay for his defence.
Norman's information and expertise had the potential to save lives. He was serving the interests of democracy, as has been proven by subsequent prison crises. There have been more inmate murders and suicides, widespread propagandising of terrorist ideology, repeated riots and disastrous failures in security.
He did not ask for payment, but was persuaded to accept compensation because he was a source who risked losing his employment. He also bore the additional risk of violent attack and reprisal from inmates, had his media whistleblowing been revealed while he was still working in the prison system. Over a period of five years, he received, on average, £2,000 a year for his role as a consultant informant on the failures of Britain's prison system.
With a legitimate expectation that his role as a confidential public interest source would be protected, he only came forward on the understanding that he would be protected as far as possible by his journalist contact, Stephen Moyes, and the newspapers which published his stories. And, indeed, by the British legal system.
Under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, any attempt by the police or any other state body wishing to force a disclosure had to be tested by an independent hearing before a judge. The Contempt of Court Act 1981 covers rights over freedom of expression, and the time-honoured need to preserve protection of sources. It is robustly supported by the European Court of Human Rights.
The protection of journalist sources is a moral and legal duty. Moyes always kept his side of this vital social contract. But Norman's protection could only be sustained if the publishers and the legal system also did their duty.
They did not.
Trinity Mirror betrayed him by voluntarily giving the Metropolitan Police all the evidence they needed to add him to Operation Elveden, the investigation into civil servant journalism sources which followed the Leveson Inquiry into the British press. Leveson cheerleaders condoned and encouraged the criminalisation of any contact between public officials and journalists. Where there had been payments, this was demonised and viewed as corruption.

The Metropolitan Police and directors of public prosecutions then used the obscure "misconduct in public office" offence to aggressively arrest, charge and prosecute journalists and their sources. Millions of pounds were spent pursuing trials at the Old Bailey and other criminal courts. In all, 34 journalists were arrested, or charged – but none successfully convicted at trial.
Yet 32 of their sources were convicted of selling information to journalists, and many of them jailed.
Norman is now taking his case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg – and he deserves to win. His arrest, prosecution, conviction and sentence were entirely disproportionate.
He and his fellow sources had no idea that whistle-blowing was a criminal offence. At worse, they thought they were in danger of losing their jobs. There is now a vital social need for confidential journalist sources acting in the public interest to know that they will be protected.
Support Our Sources
The Chartered Institute of Journalists recently added a new clause to its Code of Conduct declaring that: "[Journalists] should be able to compensate sources of any kind in proportion to the public interest value of their information and the risks they are undertaking."
This recognises the fact that any kind of source, whether public official or private citizen, sometimes needs financial protection and security.
Would anybody seriously argue against a source working in public safety being paid £10,000 by a media organisation if their information had been able to prevent the Grenfell Tower disaster that claimed 71 lives?
The custom and practice of a competitive British press providing financial rewards to confidential sources was a widely known tradition. The popular tabloids advertised explicitly that they paid for important stories. Charles Dickens paid Metropolitan police sources when he edited and published magazines and newspapers in the 19th century.
Many of these sources have made a hugely positive contribution to society. Operation Elveden, meanwhile, has had a disastrous impact.
It has catastrophically undermined the democratic necessity of protecting journalist sources, fundamentally damaged the "watchdog" role of the media, and utterly discouraged the free flow of information to journalists – and as a result, to the rest of us.

Q: Grow floated elements to fit inside I would like to use the full width of the UL-element for the floated LI-elements. Is this somehow possible with using %-values for the padding of the LI-elements? I can't use a fixed width for the LIs, since the content is not the same lenght.
This is my HTML code:

January

February

March

April

May

June

...

And here comes my CSS:
ul {
    overflow: auto;
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    width: 600px;
    background-color: blue;
}

li {
    float: left;
    padding-left: 3%;
    padding-right: 3%;
    background-color: #dd0000;
    border-left: 1px solid #ffffff;
}

li:hover {
    background-color: #ff0000;
}

Find the example at JsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6Uy4y/
So the red LI-elements should end, where the blue UL ends, even when changing the width of the UL.
Thanks for pointing me into the right direction!

A: It looks like this is the start of tabular data. I'd use a
. If I'm mistaking, you can fake a table with CSS.
ul {
  display: table;
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  width: 100%;
}

li {
  display: table-cell;
  padding: 0 3%;
}

"Turkey is a gateway country in a region exploding with core gamers playing on mobile devices," said Kabam chief operating officer Chris Carvalho. "Partnering with Turkey's market leader in online social games is a natural for Kabam. This deal drives great value to both parties; Mynet wins by exclusively distributing one of the most popular strategy games of all time to its audience, and Kabam wins by getting Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North in front of millions of new players in a rapidly growing region. "
"Mynet has grown to be Turkey's largest games community by providing our members the best of the world's games," said Mynet general manager Sabire Ercan. "Kabam's Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North continues to be one of the highest grossing apps on mobile devices in 47 countries since April. We look forward to adding Turkey to this list."
Kabam's Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North is currently available in 12 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Portuguese, and Turkish.

M.H. Williams is new to the journalism game, but he's been a gamer since the NES first graced American shores. Third-person action-adventure games are his personal poison: Uncharted, Infamous, and Assassin's Creed just to name a few. If you see him around a convention, he's not hard to spot: Black guy, glasses, and a tie.


"We knew the kind of danger that was coming. It wasn't something where, it was not the first time that we had seen this sort of thing. It wasn't the first time that we had seen it. The only thing is this time, this time, it's more like they ripped out the peoples' heart in Tivoli Gardens. Because a whole heap of innocent people died like that. Because I lost a brother in the War you know? I lost a little brother you know."
In May 2010, the "Tivoli Incursion," a standoff between Jamaican security forces and a local drug trafficker and community leader wanted for extradition by the United States government, resulted in the death of at least 75 civilians in the Tivoli Gardens neighborhood of West Kingston on the island of Jamaica. For residents of the community where the "Incursion" took place, the memories of the four days of violence and trauma remain strong.
Bearing Witness: Four Days in West Kingston, a new exhibition on view November 18, 2017 through July 15, 2018 at the Penn Museum in Philadelphia, explores the aftermath of the violence that rocked a community in Jamaica. Part art installation, part memorial, and part call to action, this powerful new exhibition sheds light on the tragic events of May 24 through 27, 2010 and its aftereffects, through compelling video, photography, written biographies, and audio featuring accounts of 21 community residents directly impacted by the violence.
The exhibition, developed from a visual ethnography project carried out between 2013 and 2017, is co-curated by Dr. Deborah A. Thomas, the R. Jean Brownlee Term Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania; Junior "Gabu" Wedderburn of AV Productions; and Deanne M. Bell, Senior Lecturer, Psychology, University of East London. Large-scale portrait photography in the exhibition was taken by Varun Baker. Leniqueca Welcome and David Chavannes, current Ph.D. students at the University of Pennsylvania, and Osei Alleyne, a Penn postdoctoral fellow, were part of the curatorial team.
A timeline of the Tivoli Incursion, with key moments in recent history leading up to the complex political and economic circumstances surrounding the 2010 Incursion, helps set the stage for the deeper exploration of community members actions and reactions.
During the week of May 24, 2010, members of the police force and the Jamaican Army entered the community of Tivoli Gardens to apprehend Christopher "Dudus" Coke, who had been ordered for extradition to stand trial in the United States on gun- and drug-running charges. Under pressure from Parliament and the U.S. government, the Prime Minister announced to the nation on television that he had authorized the Attorney General to sign the extradition order. This led to a standoff between the security forces that had to find Coke—"don" of the Tivoli Gardens community and popular benefactor as well as gang leader—and many of Coke's supporters who wanted to protect him at any cost. At week's end, Coke had not yet been found, while more than 75 civilians were officially recognized as having been killed; community members give a number closer to 200.
Beginning in 2013, the co-curators, along with five Penn students, armed with cameras and recording devices, shot community footage, recorded 30 oral histories from survivors of the Incursion, collected archival video and created a documentary, Four Days in May, portions of which are presented in the exhibition.
Striking portraits of 21 survivors, with short stories about them and their experiences, paint a vivid picture. Short audio clips from many of the survivors provide an opportunity to hear firsthand accounts. Among the survivors: then 44-year-old Andrea, who had a stall in the market, and whose entire family lived in Tivoli Gardens. At the time of the Incursion, her daughter was seven months pregnant, her two sons were taken from home by police and returned three days later, so altered she barely recognized them. Music-loving Orando, then 31-years-old, who ran a shop with his mother and screened movies in the community for the children. His little brother Dashan was killed, execution-style, in the arms of his stepfather. Claudette, age 44 at the time of the Incursion, who arrived in Tivoli Gardens as an orphan at age 13; like many, she spent the four days huddled under a table with others. Following the Incursion, everyone else from her family left the neighborhood.
Set prominently in the exhibition space is a Feasting Table, an important part of Revival, a Jamaican spiritual tradition. One element of a ritual that is used for both celebrations, and memorials, the Feasting Table is a reminder of the community loss—and a window into understanding the spiritual practices that sustain Jamaican communities in good times and bad.

Green Lipped Mussels while sipping New Zealand Marlborough Sounds Sauvignon Blancs purchased right from one of the various local wineries, some of which are world renowned and prize winners. Green Lipped Mussels, also known as the Greenshell Mussel, are so called as the normal dark coloring of the mussel shell, in this species has a very green edge, or lip along the edge of both shells. The Marlborough Sounds are home to a burgeoning Green Lipped Mussel industry with mussel farms dotted throughout the cruising waters of this great yacht charter location. Stop right at the farm float, and purchase these Marlborough Sounds farm grown Greek Lipped Mussels plucked right from the water for a lovely on board treat.
It is said that the New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel contains five types of Omega 3's needed by the human body, and that these mussels contain naturally occurring proteins and minerals that are great for joint health and general well being. An industry is growing up around the Green Lipped Mussel creating an extract for general distribution. However, while on location, enjoy as many Green Lipped Mussel as you would like, fresh from the waters of Marlborough Sounds on your yacht charter cruise.
New Zealand today has over 550 Green Lipped Mussel farms, mostly in the Marlborough Sounds. There are so many little bays and coves in the Marlborough Sounds area, many rarely visited, that these isolated maritime waters are extremely clean and are an ideal location for mussel farming.
Rigorously monitored and in many circumstances an industry self adhering to environmental policies to be eco friendly, the mussel farming industries of New Zealand make up the largest segment of New Zealand's seafood industry. Green Lipped Mussels are exported to over 50 countries worldwide. But why not go to taste the mother lode yourself and enjoy these mussels straight out of the waters where they are farmed and cruising the Marlborough Sounds on a yacht charter in New Zealand.

Le Châtillon-Panhard est un tracteur d'artillerie lourd proposé à l'Armée française par les constructeurs français Panhard & Levassor avec la collaboration de Châtillon-Commentry en 1911. Il sera produit de 1913 à 1914.

Historique

Lancement
En 1911, peu avant le début de la Première Guerre mondiale, pour remplacer les animaux utilisés pour tirer les charges lourdes sur route et les champs de bataille, l'armée française recherche un véhicule capable de tracter les pièces d'artillerie sur tous les terrains d'intervention. Châtillon-Commentry s'associa avec les constructeurs Panhard & Levassor et donnèrent naissances au Chatillon-Panhard. Le prototype sera finalisée fin 1911 et testé en la présence de membres de l'armée française. Il sera doté d'une transmission intégrale et d'un moteur six cylindres en ligne développant . Il réussira à tracter  sur une rampe à , à évoluer sur un terrain meublé jonché d'obstacles en tout genre, dont un arbre de  de diamètre placé en travers d'une route.

Un concours est lancé en mars 1913. Le Ministère de la Guerre en avait fixé le programme : « Les camions ne doivent pas dépasser  dont 2 de charge utile, rouler à la vitesse moyenne de  en tractant  et être capables de gravir, sans remorque, une pente de 18 %. ». Deux constructeurs sont candidats : Panhard & Levassor en collaboration avec Châtillon-Commentry qui propose le nouveau Châtillon-Panhard équipé d'un moteur quatre cylindres en ligne développant 42 ch et Latil qui se démarqua en présentant le TAR et qui remportera la préférence des militaires. Étrangement, aucune commande ne sera passée à la suite de ce concours.

Un second concours est organisé en 1914 qui voit 4 candidats : toujours le Châtillon-Panhard et le Latil TAR mais également deux nouveaux venus, un modèle Schneider et le Renault EG. À nouveau, malgré ses qualités indéniables, le Châtillon-Panhard se fait surclasser par le Latil TAR mais pas par le Renault. Mais ce seront le Renault EG et le Latil TAR qui équiperont principalement l'armée française. Quelques exemplaires du Châtillon-Panhard ont toutefois été commandés, une cinquantaine selon certaines sources.

Le Châtillon-Panhard durant la Première Guerre mondiale

Il sera le premier véhicule motorisé à monter vers le front lors de la première bataille de la Marne.

Aucun exemplaire de ce véhicule n'est recensé de nos jours.

 Chaîne cinématique

Ayant déjà participé au premier concours de 1913, Panhard & Levassor et Châtillon-Commentry n'ont apportés que très peu de modifications à leurs véhicule à quatre roues motrices et directrices.

 Moteur
Le Châtillon-Panhard recevra deux motorisation essence. Le prototype sera équipé d'un moteur six cylindres en lignes (L6) et le modèle de série sera équipé d'un quatre cylindres en ligne (L4) de la marque Panhard.

Comme ses concurrents, il satisfait aux tests de traction et de franchissement d'une rampe de  en charge avec  réparties sur le tracteur et les 2 remorques. La vitesse sur route du tracteur seul est de  et en charge ( avec remorques) sur terrain difficile, il atteint .

 Boite de vitesses

 Transmission

 Mécanique
Le véhicule ne dispose pas de système de freinage sur les roues avant. Il possède deux freins à mâchoires situées sur la face interne des roues arrière et un frein sur l'arbre en sortie de différentiel. Ce dernier, actionné au pied, sert pour les ralentissements ou le freinages de courte durée ; pour le freinage « de fatigue » ou d'urgence, le chauffeur doit actionner les freins sur roues à l'aide d'un levier manuel.

Niveau suspension, le Châtillon-Panhard est muni de ressort à lames sur les deux essieux.

The concept of darth maul lightsaber
The darth maul lightsaber was wielded by a red double-bladed lightsaber. However, it was cut into half by 32 BBY hence becoming a single-bladed lightsaber. Maul used to consume the saberstaff on countless assignment for his boss, Darth Sidious. It was done when it was double-bladed.
With this lightsaber, Maul embarked to a mission to eliminate enemies and assassinate Jedi. Maul used the saberstaff to kill;
Siolo Ur Manka
Jedi Anoon Bondara
Darsha Assant
The Black Sun criminal syndicate was also crippled with the use of darth maul lightsaber in his mission.
The story continues….
Maul used this weapon to slaughter a group of people in Raydonia. He also used the same weapon to kill Finn Ertay, Grohto, and Ko Solok. All this was done after his return from the galaxy.
Out of necessity, he fabricated his double-bladed lightsaber. He was physically unable to compete with the warrior. Their initial plan ended when he was being battled across the face of his enemy. He would be later disarmed.
Resolving to surprise his opponent, he fell back on his strategic know-how. He did this because he knew he could not beat his opponent via martial prowess.
He then drew on Sith schematics upon returning to his ship. It separated two lightsabers. Maul created his new lightsaber after welding the weapons together.
Maul's lightsaber was composed of two weapons with interchanged pommels, which possessed identical designs. Directly below the beam projection plate and emitter of both weapons was the activator and the modulation circuitry.
Right next to the activator, was a small control lock and a ridged handgrip. The next control was mainly used for blade modulation, with a second set of control locks directly beneath it. The center of the weapon was the joint that was found between the two lightsabers.
He also took considerable pride in the fashioning of the crystals for his massive weapon. in a compression furnace, he Created a set of four synthetic lightsaber crystals. For four days in a row in was in deep thoughts, using the Force to monitor and control the formation of the crystals.
Unveiling the darth maul lightsaber
Upon his return to the jungle, he would later approach Manka once again. Manka was ready this time. He lamented about Maul's lack of artistry or honor in favor of pure skill.
Manka threatened him with a combat stance, giving him a last chance to flee. However, he ignited one of his favorite blade of his weapon and first attacked Manaka before charging his staff.
Maul did not manage to sidestep before countering. Seeing that there was no point in waiting, Maul used exactly the same energy he used previously and allowed himself to be disarmed.
While he caught the weapon in his left hand, his opponent Manka rushed inside the Sith Lord's guard, with his "pommel" and the extended arm of his lightsaber pinned against the Jedi's own behind while he held his entire staff to Maul's throat.
This is how the darth maul's lightsaber was birthed.

NEW DELHI : The National Medical Commission Bill, 2017 was introduced in Lok Sabha recently and is listed for consideration and passage today. The Bill seeks to regulate medical education and practice in India. To meet this objective, the Bill repeals the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and dissolves the current Medical Council of India (MCI). The MCI was established under the 1956 Act, to establish uniform standards of higher education qualifications in medicine and regulating its practice.
A Committee was set up in 2016, under the NITI Aayog with Dr. Arvind Panagariya as its chair, to review the 1956 Act and recommend changes to improve medical education and the quality of doctors in India. The Committee proposed that the Act be replaced by a new law, and also proposed a draft Bill in August 2016.
This post looks at the key provisions of the National Medical Commission Bill, 2017 introduced in Lok Sabha recently, and some issues which have been raised over the years regarding the regulation of medical education and practice in the country.
What are the key issues regarding the regulation of medical education and practice?
Several experts have examined the functioning of the MCI and suggested a different structure and governance system for its regulatory powers.Some of the issues raised by them include:
Separation of regulatory powers
Over the years, the MCI has been criticised for its slow and unwieldy functioning owing to the concentration and centralisation of all regulatory functions in one single body. This is because the Council regulates medical education as well as medical practice. In this context, there have been recommendations that all professional councils like the MCI, should be divested of their academic functions, which should be subsumed under an apex body for higher education to be called the National Commission for Higher Education and Research. This way there would be a separation between the regulation of medical education from regulation of medical practice.
An Expert Committee led by Prof. Ranjit Roy Chaudhury (2015), recommended structurally reconfiguring the MCI's functions and suggested the formation of a National Medical Commission through a new Act.Here, the National Medical Commission would be an umbrella body for supervision of medical education and oversight of medial practice. It will have four segregated verticals under it to look at: (i) under-graduate medical education, (ii) post-graduate medical education, (iii) accreditation of medical institutions, and (iv) the registration of doctors. The 2017 Bill also creates four separate autonomous bodies for similar functions.
Composition of MCI
With most members of the MCI being elected, the NITI Aayog Committee (2016) noted the conflict of interest where the regulated elect the regulators, preventing the entry of skilled professionals for the job. The Committee recommended that a framework must be set up under which regulators are appointed through an independent selection process instead.
Fee Regulation
The NITI Aayog Committee (2016) recommended that a medical regulatory authority, such as the MCI, should not engage in fee regulation of private colleges. Such regulation of fee by regulatory authorities may encourage an underground economy for medical education seats with capitation fees (any payment in excess of the regular fee), in regulated private colleges. Further, the Committee stated that having a fee cap may discourage the entry of private colleges limiting the expansion of medical education in the country.
The Standing Committee on Health (2016) observed that the present focus of the MCI is only on licensing of medical colleges.There is no emphasis given to the enforcement of medical ethics in education and on instances of corruption noted within the MCI. In light of this, the Committee recommended that the areas of medical education and medical practice should be separated in terms of enforcement of the appropriate ethics for each of these stages.
What does the National Medical Commission, 2017 Bill seek do to?
The 2017 Bill sets up the National Medical Commission (NMC) as an umbrella regulatory body with certain other bodies under it. The NMC will subsume the MCI and will regulate the medical education and practice in India. Under the Bill, states will establish their respective State Medical Councils within three years. These Councils will have a role similar to the NMC, at the state level.
Functions of the NMC include: (i) laying down policies for regulating medical institutions and medical professionals, (ii) assessing the requirements of human resources and infrastructure in healthcare, (iii) ensuring compliance by the State Medical Councils with the regulations made under the Bill, and (iv) framing guidelines for determination of fee for up to 40% of the seats in the private medical institutions and deemed universities which are governed by the Bill.
Who will be a part of the NMC?
The NMC will consist of 25 members, appointed by the central government. It will include representatives from Indian Council of Medical Research, and Directorate General of Health Services. A search committee will recommend names to the central government for the post of Chairperson, and the part-time members. These posts will have a maximum term of four years, and will not be eligible for extension or reappointment.
What are the regulatory bodies being set up under the NMC?
The Bill sets up four autonomous boards under the supervision of the NMC, as recommended by various experts. Each autonomous board will consist of a President and two members, appointed by the central government (on the recommendation of the search committee). These bodies are:
The Under-Graduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) and the Post-Graduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB): These two bodies will be responsible for formulating standards, curriculum, guidelines, and granting recognition to medical qualifications at the under-graduate and post-graduate levels respectively;
The Medical Assessment and Rating Board: The Board will have the power to levy monetary penalties on institutions which fail to maintain the minimum standards as laid down by the UGMEB and the PGMEB. It will also grant permissions for establishing new medical colleges; and
The Ethics and Medical Registration Board: The Board will maintain a National Register of all licensed medical practitioners, and regulate professional conduct. Only those included in the Register will be allowed to practice as doctors.
What does the Bill say regarding the conduct of medical entrance examinations?
There will be a uniform National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to under-graduate medical education in all medical institutions governed by the Bill. The NMC will specify the manner of conducting common counselling for admission in all such medical institutions.
Further, there will be a National Licentiate Examination for the students graduating from medical institutions to obtain the license for practice. This Examination will also serve as the basis for admission into post-graduate courses at medical institutions.
