Welfare Cuts in the Next Budget – ESR Violations on the Horizon?
November 5, 2009 aoifenolan Leave a comment Go to comments
The Irish Times reports that the Taoiseach and the Minister for Social and Family Affairs have indicated there will be significant reductions in social welfare spending in the forthcoming Budget. The comments were made at a meeting on 27 October between the Taoiseach, the Minister and the Community and Voluntary Pillar under the social partnership process. Seamus Boland of Irish Rural Link, who attended the meeting, said the talks centred generally on the economic situation facing the country. He said the Taoiseach had again indicated that cuts of up to €4 billion had to be implemented in the Budget in December. Mr Boland said Ms Hanafin and the Taoiseach had pointed out that as part of this process there would have to be significant reductions in social welfare spending. He said that they told the meeting that the country could not afford the current level of expenditure but did not provide details of where the cuts might fall in the Budget. Mr Boland said the Community and Voluntary Pillar had argued that cuts in social welfare spending would hurt those who were the most vulnerable and weakest in society.
Proposed whole-scale cuts in social welfare fly in the face of the results of rescent research sponsored by TASC which reportedly found high levels of public support for the funding of childcare, education and old age through general taxation. According to the Irish Times, the survey (which was carred out at 60 locations around the State, on a sample of 1,000 people of 16 years or more) found that 88 per cent believe old age provision should be State-funded; 87 per cent believe education should be State-funded; 78 per cent believe health should be State-funded and 58 per cent believe childcare should be State-funded.
The broad 'cuts' approach proposed by government also directly contradicts the recommendations of several of the presenters at the recent 'Towards a Progressive Economics' Conference (held on 10 October) which recommended economic expansion, fiscal stimulus measures and the reform of welfare, rather than simply a 'slash and burn approach' to benefits. While the Government argues that such cuts are necessary, one can only hope (however wistfully) that, in formulating the budget, it will bear in mind the obligations it accepted by ratifying the International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights.
The most celebrated obligation under that Treaty is set out in Article 2(1) which requires states
to take steps, individually and through international assistance and co-operation, especially economic and technical, to the maximum of its available resources, with a view to achieving progressively the full realization of the rights recognized in the present Covenant by all appropriate means, including particularly the adoption of legislative measures.
This Article imposes an obligation on states to move as expeditiously and effectively as possible towards the full realisation of the Covenant rights. This includes the right to social security which is set out at Article 9 of the Covenant. In its General Comment No.3 on The Nature of State Parties Obligations (1990) The Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights (the body responsible for monitoring the implementation of ICESCR) states that
any deliberately retrogressive measures [in relation to the realisation of the rights under the ICESCR] would require the most careful consideration and would need to be fully justified by reference to the totality of the rights provided for in the Covenant and in the context of the full use of the maximum available resources.
Research from a project on 'Budget Analysis and the Advancement of Economic and Social Rights in Northern Ireland' which is being carried out by a Team based at the School of Law, Queen's University Belfast, provides further detail on what a 'retrogressive measure' might constitute:
The ComESCR has not specified exactly what constitutes a 'deliberate retrogressive measure' but some guidance can be sought from its General Comment 4 on the Right to Adequate Housing which states that,
'[A] general decline of living and housing conditions, directly attributable to policy and legislative decisions by State Parties, and in the absence of accompanying compensatory measures, would be inconsistent with the obligations under the Covenant.
In its work, the QUB project team highlights Magdalena Sepulveda's (current UN Independent Expert on Human Rights and Extreme Poverty) statement that a deliberate retrogressive measure means any measure which implies a step back in the level of protection accorded to the rights in the ICESCR as a consequence of an intentional decision by the State. According to Sepulveda in her excellent book on ICESCR, this includes an unjustified reduction in public expenditures devoted to implementation of ESR in the absence of adequate compensatory measures aimed to protect the injured individuals.
In its General Comment No.19 on the Right to Social Security, the Committee stated that,
There is a strong presumption that retrogressive measures taken in relation to the right to social security are prohibited under the Covenant. If any deliberately retrogressive measures are taken, the State party has the burden of proving that they have been introduced after the most careful consideration of all alternatives and that they are duly justified by reference to the totality of the rights provided for in the Covenant, in the context of the full use of the maximum available resources of the State party. The Committee will look carefully at whether: (a) there was reasonable justification for the action; (b) alternatives were comprehensively examined; (c) there was genuine participation of affected groups in examining the proposed measures and alternatives; (d) the measures were directly or indirectly discriminatory; (e) the measures will have a sustained impact on the realization of the right to social security, an unreasonable impact on acquired social security rights or whether an individual or group is deprived of access to the minimum essential level of social security; and (f) whether there was an independent review of the measures at the national level.
This is a demanding test and it is immediately obvious that most, if not all, of the elements set out by the Committee will not be satisfied if the Irish Government implements the threatened (yet hitherto unspecified) broad cuts in social benefit.
The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights has also made it clear that
a minimum core obligation to ensure the satisfaction of, at the very least, minimum essential levels of each of the rights is incumbent upon every State party. Thus, for example, a State party in which any significant number of individuals is deprived of essential foodstuffs, of essential primary health care, of basic shelter and housing, or of the most basic forms of education is, prima facie, failing to discharge its obligations under the Covenant … In order for a State party to be able to attribute its failure to meet at least its minimum core obligations to a lack of available resources it must demonstrate that every effort has been made to use all resources that are at its disposition in an effort to satisfy, as a matter of priority, those minimum obligations.
Taking the example of basic housing/shelter, the Simon Community recently warned that large numbers of people will be made homeless if there are any further cuts to the rent supplement scheme in the Budget. There would thus seem to be a clear risk that the Budget cuts may result in the State failing to meet its minimum core obligation in relation to the right to adequate housing under Article 11(1) ICESCR. A truly stunning achievement in light of the subsistence level of protection which the 'minimum core' of ESR is intended to cover.
Given the government's apparent failure to contemplate seriously any alternative to significant cuts in social welfare, it seems unlikely that it could argue convincingly that it has made 'every effort to use all resources that are at its disposition' to meet its minimum core obligations. Indeed, the State's duty under Article 2(1) to allocate the 'maximum of available resources' should prompt us to query whether, in fact, the government is doing everything that it reasonably can to satisfy its duty to increase revenue to secure funds to direct towards human rights concerns (International Human Rights Internship Programme 'Government Human Rights Obligations and Budget Work' December 2008 at 3).
Ireland ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in December 1989. It is disappointing and shocking that a 2009 budget would appear to be so inconsistent with the obligations that it assumed in doing so.

Human rights-based budget analysis was the subject of recent Viewpoint issued by the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, while more information on budget analysis and other budget work can be found on the webpage of the International Budget Partnership.

Why dont these ministers take a pay cut themselves? If all ministers and TD's take a pay cut- surely 4 billion would be gathered easily. The post of President shuuld be cut- thats how much 250,000 for the budget in one go? Plus the rich should be taxed. K'mon. Don't let these b… ride on the people yet again! Where are all the Michael Collinses of today's Ireland?
F de Londras
Surely the cost of the Constitutional referendum, not to mention the cost to our entire legal system, of cutting the President would be disproportionate to the savings you allege?? Also, did you hear President on Morning Ireland this morning? She is cutting her salary and expenses of her own volition.
Changes within the welfare system will be known by Christmas, to be implemented by January 1st it seems, http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/1105/budget.html
this proposed 20 percent on people under 23 is a joke,
to begin with i was made redundant after working for an consultancy for two and a half years, when i went to the social welfare they told me i was 2 weeks over the time required to be eligible without being assessed, which i was very grateful about, but i'm sure other people were not so lucky.
i couldn't go back to college as i didn't have enough money, and i couldn't get a job to pay my own way in time for the college year and was not eligible for the back to education scheme as i wasn't on the social welfare for more than six months.
you cant win, no matter what you try, the doors closed in your face.
they say they are cutting the welfare to get young people out working,
but it cant work if there is no jobs, since august i have seen 3 relevant jobs from my category of work, and i'm sure so did the hundreds if not thousands of people in the same category as myself.
the government need to be releasing state jobs to keep companies working, construction in particular, if they started to put money into the industry and not saving the ass of the people taking out loans the couldn't afford,
they put everything on hold which led to hundreds of sites being closed,
and had a chain reaction on all sectors not just the people on site, the people designing in offices, which then effected hundreds of different sectors,
like the printing companies that do the drawings for the consultants,
the chain reaction it has is unbelievable, and doesn't take a scientist to work it out.
no wonder this country is in shambles and its why many people are going abroad, thats going to lead to the younger trained workforce going abroad, why would we at this point, theres nothing in this country for us.
Canada or Australia is looking more tempting the closer it gets to this budget.

Q: How do I upgrade equipment past 3 stars? I had several 1 star Boomerangs. I leveled up and combined them into a max level-3 star boomerang. Is there a way to get it all the way up to 5 stars? Or is 3 stars the max for an item that started at 1? It shows up in the "combine equipment" list with the note "LvlMx" but I definitely have another boomerang to use. I even have another 3 star boomerang to combine it with.

A: You can only combine weapons/armor to up their level cap twice - so a 1 star item can only ever be a 3 star item when maxed out.  That's what "LvMAX" means on the "Combine Equipment" screen - you've used your two combine operations on that item, and it's maxed out.
Also note that it's not required to level up or combine the item to be sacrificed.  You can combine a maxed out 2-star boomerang with a freshly dropped, level 1, 1-star boomerang to make a 3-star boomerang.

The State of the eBook: Challenges, Successes, Trends
By Marisa Peacock | Dec 9, 2010
CHANNEL: Web Experience
Thanks to mobile devices like the iPad and the Kindle, eReading and ebooks are growing in popularity, bringing new life to the publishing industry. A recent report illustrates just how far the eBook market has come in the past year.
Aptara's report, eBooks -- A Second Look Assessing the Latest Impact of eBooks on the Publishing Market, surveyed more than 600 publishing industry representatives this summer in an effort to understand the current state of eBook publishing. Here's what they found.
For publishers, content format compatibility for eReaders continue to pose problems. Even with the near universal EPUB eBook format standard, eReaders are still scrambling to keep up with emerging standards and devices. EBooks require expert, manual manipulation to retain consistent formatting across device types. Coupled with the heightened demand for expert technology vendors familiar with the detailed production nuances of eBook readers and software creates new challenges for publishers.
Image 1: When asked about the return on investment (ROI) provided by eBooks, respondents were unable to provide specifics.
Despite growth within the eBook market, publishers can't always determine the return on investment (ROI) provided by eBooks. 62% of respondents indicated that they were unclear as to the ROI of adding eBooks to their product mix. While for 10%, eBooks' ROI was worse than printed books. Of the 64% of publishers producing eBooks, only 14% are seeing a better ROI from eBooks than print.
As eBooks become more popular among consumers, more publishers are getting on board. The study showed that 64% of publishers surveyed are creating eBooks -- up more than 10% from Aptara's first survey in early 2010.
Trade/Consumer and Scientific, Technical and Medical (STM) publishing sectors saw the biggest gain of 23% and 24% respectively, while K-12 Educational publishers also saw significant growth, up 18% over the previous survey period with University level publishers measuring an 11% uptick.
Popularity gives way to increased production. The report showed that nearly one-fourth of publishers are producing more than 75% of their titles as eBooks. The types of books seeing the most growth also include STM, K-12 and University ebooks, which are producing more books online, thanks to integration of iPads and other mobile eReaders into classroom curricula.
It doesn't take an eBook on brain surgery to figure out publishers' motivations. According to the survey, most look to eBooks to earn new revenue streams (42%), while others are hoping to attract new audience segments (37%), or quickly respond to customer demand (32%).
The report found that approximately 25% of eBook publishers are employing XML in their workflows, indicating a positive shift to scalable, digital workflows which can help streamline eBook production across all eReaders. In addition, XML works to "future-proof" publishers' content so that it can be repurposed for new markets and business models, saving money and time.
Image 2: The study showed that eBook sales are increasingly viewed as strategically important to publishers' success.
Because of the significant growth eBooks have seen in the past year, it's not surprising that eBook sales are figuring prominently among publishers' revenue strategies. Nearly half of the publishers surveyed said that eBook sales are of "high" importance in growing their organizations (up 11% from our first survey), while nearly one-third believe eBooks play a moderate role in future growth.
Overall, it's clear that while eBooks are creating additional streams of revenue for publishers, they are not a magic bullet that will immediately return publishers to their heyday. However, it is enough to keep publishers afloat. Publishers will need to sustain production while being able to keep up with the demands that emerging technologies impose.

Why Did U.S. Hire These 4 Guys?
Four former state prison officials hired by the Justice Department to help set up Iraq's prison system have backgrounds that should have precluded them from the private contracting jobs, a senator said Wednesday.
Each had lawsuits or other problems linked to their tenures in state government, Sen. Charles Schumer said. He called for the Justice Department's inspector general to investigate the "slipshod" hiring process that allowed them to work as private contractors.
"These are not the four people you would want to run any prison system," said Schumer, D-N.Y.
Three of them visited various Iraqi prisons over a period of about four months in 2003 and worked to get them operating. A fourth was given a supervisory position in the newly reconstituted prison system. The four officials were part of a 25-member team.
One of the four, Terry Stewart, was sued by the Justice Department in 1997, when he ran Arizona's Corrections Department. The lawsuit charged that at least 14 female inmates were repeatedly raped, sexually assaulted and watched by corrections workers as they dressed, showered and used the bathroom.
At the time, officials also charged prison authorities had denied investigators access to staff and prisoners to examine abuse complaints.
After the state agreed to provide more stringent oversight of employees handling female inmates, the suit was dropped. Neither Stewart nor any other state officials admitted any wrongdoing.
Stewart was out of the country Wednesday and could not be reached. A Justice Department spokesman declined comment.
Schumer also cited John Armstrong, who left as Corrections Department chief in Connecticut last year after the agency was sued by female guards who alleged they were sexually harassed. Armstrong denied his departure had anything to do with the lawsuit.
O.L. "Lane" McCotter, who resigned under fire as head of the Utah Corrections Department after a mentally ill inmate died after spending 16 hours strapped to a restraining chair.
McCotter's predecessor, Gary DeLand, who headed the agency in the late 1980s, when civil rights lawyers charged his department denied appropriate medical care to inmates.
DeLand has denied the charge. A jury awarded nearly half a million dollars to an inmate incarcerated in 1989 when he suffered renal failure.
The jury found DeLand and other officials violated the inmate's constitutional rights be delaying medical care.

The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d)shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim (agreement). ROFR: Abe owns a house and Bo offers to buy that house for $1 million. However, Carl holds a right of first refusal to purchase the house. Therefore, before Abe can sell the house to Bo, he must first offer it to Carl for the $1 million that Bo is willing to buy it for. If Carl accepts, he buys the house instead of Bo. If Carl declines, Bo may now buy the house at the proposed $1 million price. a) that the right holder be notified of any bona fide offer from a third party to purchase the parcel from the current owner; c) that the right holder exercise the ROFR, by accepting the offer, within a specified period of time (agreement). (a) this Agreement and the Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in connection with the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares and supersede and extinguish all previous agreements between the parties relating to such sale and purchase; They signed a co-operation agreement, superseding and earlier agreement in 2008. 2 The purpose of such a clause is to make sure that only the provisions contained in the written contract constitute the agreement between the parties. The merger clause is intended to provide for legal certainty during the performance of the contract because it prevents either party from going back after the contract is signed and claim that the written agreement is not complete. That agreement superseded the GATT provisions, the appeals group ruled on Monday (link). Part B. General Conditions, setting out standard terms common to all contracts including the ICC General Conditions for Non-circumvention & Non-disclosure Agreements. Carefully consider how long the NCNDA will run. For example, a five year term will run from the date the agreement is signed. You can also choose a date that the non-disclosure agreement will expire (such as when the project is completed). You can also bind someone to secrecy indefinitely, meaning that at no point can the signer(s) divulge the confidential information contained in the agreement (http://www.mindzeyemarketing.com/2021/04/10/international-non-circumvention-agreement/). You can either share data so that both entities are joint controllers or so that each of you are independent controllers (or indeed from data controller to data processor, though this is not considered in this article). The distinction between a joint controller and an independent controller can be seen here: If youre sharing personal data with a joint controller, Article 26 of the GDPR states that there must be an arrangement in place between the data controllers. A joint controller Data-Sharing Agreement is different from a controller-to-controller Data Sharing Agreement. If you need these documents, they are two of the many documents in my GDPR Compliance Pack, that you can purchase very affordably at //www.suzannedibble.com/gdprpack Consent isnt valid if you ask data subjects to agree to receive direct marketing from carefully selected partners or another, similar generic description joint controllers data protection agreement. Conditional Sales Agreements (CSAs) and Fair Market Value (FMV) leases arent exactly the opposite of each other, but they differ in some very important ways. A neighbor, for example, could sell you his lawnmower for $5 with the condition that you mow his grass for the rest of the summer. A distant relative could sell you a haunted house for $1,000 with the condition that you spend one night without leaving before sunrise. But in the majority of cases, a conditional sales contract involves a down payment and installment payments with a specified rate of interest. A conditional sales agreement also protects the seller if the buyer defaults on required payments. Since the title does not transfer to the buyer until the completion of the conditions, the seller remains the legal owner throughout the duration of the contract (view). The role of police is only tenant verification. Agreement is done between house owner and tenant so agreement copy is stained only between them. Rent agreement Aap agreement khatm hone se 1,2 mahine pahle legal notice de dena Able to renew the lessee may be liable as for instance, you have rent agreement format in hindi format of this needed to improve the actual advance. This Part applies to or in respect of a sale contract or proposed sale contract only if the sale of the goods or supply of services concerned is financed, or is proposed to be financed, wholly or partly by the provision of credit to which this Code applies. (8) A credit provider that sells mortgaged goods under this section is entitled to deduct from the proceeds of that sale only the following amounts: (i) after due inquiry before becoming a linked credit provider of the supplier, the credit provider was satisfied that the reputation of the supplier in respect of the suppliers financial standing and business conduct was good; and (c) the amounts payable in successive discharge of any subsequent mortgages to which the goods were subject and of which the credit provider had notice; 39B Limit on amount that may be recovered if there is default under a small amount credit contract (a) particulars of the change in the terms of the credit contract, mortgage or guarantee; and Division 2 requires ASIC to establish and maintain one or more registers relating to credit activities agreement. The next section, the agreement overview should include four components: SLAs commonly include many components, from a definition of services to the termination of agreement.[2] To ensure that SLAs are consistently met, these agreements are often designed with specific lines of demarcation and the parties involved are required to meet regularly to create an open forum for communication. Rewards and penalties applying to the provider are often specified. Most SLAs also leave room for periodic (annual) revisitation to make changes.[3] The ITIL document types 'Service Level Agreement (SLA)' and 'Operational Level Agreement (OLA)' use identical structures. The following statements on Service Level Agreements are therefore equally applicable to OLAs http://chudywawrzyniec.pl/service-level-agreement-structure/.
Applying a structured approach to strategic sourcing and collaboration, like the SOS Framework, enables higher awareness of business and technology strategies, more effective operating models and enhanced mutual value from supplier relationships. A collective and transparent approach aligns internal and external stakeholders on set-up and consistent execution. Outsourcing a business practice to another company may also be incorporated into a sourcing strategy for services agreement. This case is in similar vein to the above. The developer was granted planning permission subject to a section 106 agreement for the payment of infrastructure costs. The agreement contained specific sums which had to be paid. By the time the Council sought payment, the supplementary planning guidance on which the calculation of the sums was based had changed, in the light of criticisms of the original SPG by Inspectors in appeal decisions. In this judicial climate, the drafting of section 106 agreements will be subjected to increasing scrutiny by landowners / developers and local authorities alike link. The larger the signing bonus, the more theyre stealing from your back pocket thats the standard that striking workers can use to judge the tentative agreement between the United Autoworkers (UAW) and General Motors (GM). The deal would give most employees $11,000 and even active temporary employees $4,500 for ratifying the deal. Under the 2015 contract, GM was barred from closing any of its facilities. But it got around that language by simply announcing it had no product for those plants and placing them on unallocated status uaw aramark agreement. In addition to ensuring both parties are in agreement on the terms of an offer, the second element that ensures a contract is legally valid is that both parties exchange something of value. This is important since it differentiates a contract from being a one-sided statement or even a gift. Something of value might be a promise to perform certain services by one party while the other party agrees to pay a fee for the work performed. Each country recognised by private international law has its own national system of law to govern contracts. Although systems of contract law might have similarities, they may contain significant differences. Option 5: Request the installment agreement online (OPA application): Some states have installment agreement request forms. The following state forms are currently available in Drake Tax. Most are not supported for e-filing, but a form is produced in view. Be sure to review all state guidelines for details on making the request. If IRS Payment Record is present in the return, then Form 9465, line 8, 'PaymentAMT,' must be equal to 'PaymentAmount' in IRS Payment Record. Note: Form 9465 can only be e-filed through the current year. If requesting an installment agreement for a prior year, use Option 5 below instead. This message displays when an amount is entered on screen 9465, line 8 for amount paid with this request, and the PMT screen has been completed. Since the PMT screen pulls the full amount due from Form 1040, but a lesser amount is indicated on Form 9465, there is a mismatch. In a customer-based SLA, the customer and service provider come to a negotiated agreement on the services that will be provided. For example, a company may negotiate with the IT service provider that manages its billing system to define their specific relationship and expectations in detail. If both parties agree to include earn backs in the SLA, then the process should be defined carefully at the beginning of the negotiation and integrated into the service-level methodology. SLAs (service level agreements) are notoriously difficult to measure, report on, and meet. They can also be difficult to configure and change in many service desks. Still, its important to track your performance against top objectives, and SLAs provide a great opportunity to improve customer satisfaction https://www.phdevelopers.com/how-to-define-service-level-agreement/. Of course, normally, parties to contracts will not make such a one-sided deal as Scrooge and Caspars. But there is a common class of contracts in which nominal considerationusually one dollaris recited in printed forms. Usually these are option contracts, in which in consideration of one dollar in hand paid and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged one party agrees to hold open the right of the other to make a purchase on agreed terms link. Licensing examples are found in many different industries. An example of a licensing agreement is an agreement from copyright holders of software to a company, allowing it to use the computer software for their daily business operations.

Reserved matters are decisions that can only be made having obtained consent from a special majority (shareholders who hold more than 75% of the voting shares, or possibly unanimity). A shareholder agreement template contains important, practical, and specific rules which are directly related to the company and to its shareholders. Making such a document is very beneficial for all types of shareholders. Lets take a look at just how important this document is: 4. Each Shareholder warrants that he or she is not prevented by reason of law or any other contractual agreement from entering into this Agreement. Piggy Back Provision: Also referred to as a "tag along" or "co-sale" provision, a Piggy Back provision applies to majority shareholders who intend to sell a significant portion of their shares. The district will provide virtual training to teachers before school starts, the agreements state, on topics including blended learning, flipped classrooms and education-technology tools. Teachers will be "strongly encouraged" but not required to complete an additional 12-hour training related to distance learning by Aug. 10 for a stipend or earned units toward salary advancement. The current collective bargaining agreement, thought to be the district's first-ever multiyear union contract, was negotiated by former superintendent Max McGee and heralded at the time as a successful change for Palo Alto Unified and its bargaining units agreement. Follow the directional arrows and signage through the museum. There are 23 species of bats living in Nevada. They range in wingspan from 8 to 16 inches. Most eat moths and other small bugs, but one eats scorpions.

The need for strong confidentiality agreements was highlighted in the environmental products liability litigation which last week culminated in a $236 million verdict against ExxonMobil. One of the plaintiffs key witnesses was an expert who previously worked as a consultant for a defendant on projects directly relevant to the issues in the litigation who had been exposed to the defendants confidential information. The defendant had not required the consultant to enter into a confidentiality agreement during the project (http://vetsdisabilitynetwork.com/?p=6935). Over that past decade and longer, pure OA publishers have demonstrated that open science works by having already successfully provided these the services to authors; and policy makers have taken note. Now, in order to support more traditional publishers to change their subscription-based models to OA, a number of so called Transformative Agreements also referred to as Publish and Read deals have been signed between national library consortia and large publishers in recent months. However, we continue to require publishers to actively commit to transitioning to a fully Open Access journal and in any event to make this flip no later than when 75% of the research content is published open access. Sage will inform all co-authors that the article can be published open access at no additional cost agreement. 33. Subject to clauses 34 and 35, or an agreement under clause 32, if Tsawwassen First Nation makes a written request to British Columbia, then British Columbia and Tsawwassen First Nation will discuss the effect, if any, of the legislation or regulation on: b. the issues stated in the pleadings are materially different from those identified in the notice to arbitrate under clause 27 or the written agreement to arbitrate under clause 28, After the effective date of the treaty, Tsawwassen First Nation will become a member of the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) and will appoint a director to the GVRD board. Tsawwassen First Nation will pay for core mandatory services in the GVRD, such as air quality, strategic planning, 911, regional parks and general government view. Custody X Change isn't just for your initial custody agreement. It saves your document and makes modifying easy even years down the road. It is possible to have different combinations of custody. For example, one parent may have sole physical custody while both share joint legal custody. Child custody and support are matters of both state and federal law. Every state except Massachusetts has adopted the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act ("UCCJEA"). The UCCJEA dictates that child custody litigation pertaining to a particular child will occur in that child's home state, defined as the place where they have lived for six consecutive months prior to the litigation.

Section 106 agreements are drafted when it is considered that a development will have significant impacts on the local area that cannot be moderated by means of conditions attached to a planning decision. Planning obligations under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), commonly known as s106 agreements, are a mechanism which make a development proposal acceptable in planning terms, that would not otherwise be acceptable. They are focused on site specific mitigation of the impact of development. S106 agreements are often referred to as 'developer contributions' along with highway contributions and the Community Infrastructure Levy. An appeal can be made if the authority does not modify the planning obligation as requested, or fails to make a determination within a specified time (here).
Do I need to file my bylaws or operating agreement with the state? An important distinction between a corporations bylaws and an LLC operating agreement is that the Board of Directors of a Corporation are not parties to the bylaws. The bylaws govern the Corporation, but the individual Board of Director members are not named parties of interest in the bylaws. Among a number of other details, corporate bylaws generally contain: "Bylaws establish the rights and duties of the parties involved in the corporation and, if properly followed by the parties, limits the possibility that courts will 'pierce the corporate veil' and hold shareholders personally liable for corporate debts," said Kelly DuFord Williams, founder and managing partner of Slate Law Group http://mariaeskeland.femelle.no/2021/04/15/what-is-a-bylaw-operating-agreement/. Companies may redact confidential information from filed versions of agreements without a confidential treatment request, so long as that information (i) is not material and (ii) likely would result in competitive harm to the company if publicly disclosed.2 When filing a redacted exhibit, companies must comply with the following requirements: Close of Staff Review. After the close of a compliance review, only the Staffs initial request for an unredacted exhibit and close of review letter will be made publicly available on the companys EDGAR filing page. Unlike correspondence pertaining to the Staffs review of reports and registration statements, any Staff comments or company responses arising from a compliance review of redacted exhibits will not become publicly available on EDGAR (agreement). and license agreement vs rental agreement. If you are owner of multiple properties then it is highly likely that you might have allowed people to use your property in return of some amount such transaction is generally referred as renting your property or giving your property on leave and license basis. The terms rent and/or leave and license are many a times used interchangeably and we hardly bother to know what exactly each term means agreement leave and licence.

Your run-of-the-mill high school story about being unsure about the future, making good friends, and having no regrets. All that blah with a mystery twist and plenty of memorable quotes.
I seriously think this drama only did well because of the actors. Without their wonderful performance this drama would've been completely dry because admit it; the story isn't that great.
This another thing that really helped the drama. The music was outstanding! From beginning to end it was the music and the actors that were able to make this otherwise boring story into the fad that it became.
The drama definitely is a good one, but only because of the above stated reasons. Not on my favourites list. Still worth the watch.

Lead Organization
French Development Agency (AFD).
French Ministry for Sustainable Development, CODATU (Cooperation for Urban Mobility in the Developing World) and CEREMA (Center for Studies and Expertise on Risks, Environment, Mobility and Urban and Country Planning). The World Bank is a partner for the Leaders in Urban Transport Planning (LUTP) training sessions. The City of Marseille, Plan Bleu, MedCities, and the European Investment Bank (EIB) also contribute to some activities and deliverables.
The rapid increase in population in MENA and the resulting urban sprawl have generated a strong demand for urban transport. Large cities have tended to develop extensively, which led to high levels of congestion and pollution, and a slowdown of economic development. The focus is now on mass transportation including different modes to be articulated into an integrated, low-carbon and energy-efficient transport offer.
While cities are engines of growth, for agglomeration externalities to work, people need to be connected through reliable, efficient, and affordable services. The program aims to support policy making for devising and implementing integrated public transport systems as a key component of urban and territorial development. Issues of long-term financing and the institutional framework of public urban transport are particularly emphasized.
Selected Results
Deepened knowledge/increased capacity: A training session was organized in Marseille, June 1-7, 2014, jointly by the French Development Agency (AFD) and the World Bank, as part of the "Leaders in Urban Transport Planning" (LUTP) program. This LUTP session developed leadership and decision-making capabilities as well as networking among high-level policy officials and senior managers in urban transport. It was attended by six representatives of the Center for Mediterranean Integration (CMI) member countries including counterparts directly involved in the preparation of major projects considered for funding by the World Bank and French Development Agency (AFD).
Improved network/increased visibility of the CMI: A regional workshop on sustainable urban transport was organized under the program and hosted by the Metropolitan Municipality of Izmir, Turkey, on November 12-14, 2014. The workshop, which closed a four-year phase of the program, helped to connect various municipal experiences around the Mediterranean, with particular focus on the integrated coastal and terrestrial transport system of Izmir. Further priorities for the program were also discussed, including pursuing the capacity building activities at regional level and holding workshops aimed at promoting policy reforms at national or sub-regional level.

Home / News Posts / World Heart Beat featured in Wandsworth Society Newsletter
World Heart Beat featured in Wandsworth Society Newsletter
We had been considering the possibility of inviting members of the Academy to perform for the Society. This article by Society member Tony Martin encourages us to do so – and to attend their annual youth big-band concert – 51st State Band – at Putney Arts Theatre in November.
Steve Rubie is the owner of the 606 Club in Lots Road, Chelsea, where the world's best jazz musicians perform. He is also renowned for fostering the talents of young musicians. In July his club hosted a packed charity evening where students of World Heart Beat Music Academy performed an exquisite first set, followed by long-time Wandsworth resident, doyen of jazz piano and the Academy's chief patron, Julian Joseph with his trio.
Afterwards Steve Rubie wrote: "Learning to make music isn't just about learning notes. It's about commitment, sensitivity, understanding, mutual support and a love for what you are doing. The team at World Heart Beat … epitomises the dedication and passion that is necessary to convey those qualities to all the young musicians who pass through their doors." When next in Kimber Road, look for the unlikely juxtaposition of Charles Wilson's plant hire premises and the first floor, pink and pale blue themed home of the Academy. Its staircase is adorned with photographs of music and exotic objets d'art. Its spacious performance area, enveloped by a warm red ceiling and carpet, plays host to an array of drums, guitars, a fine grand piano and many more instruments, and some splendidly ageing leather armchairs.
Here some 300 young people – from five to nineteen and beyond – come after school and at weekends to learn to play musical instruments and sing. Around 50{2e534ef053df196e2437f51df132cae85af5766e7537433a2c98bda92431fc1b} of tuition is in classical music; other genres for its 15 teaching programmes include jazz, Celtic and gypsy music, Asian tabla drums, reggae and vocal improvisation. As well as the 606 Club, World Heart Beat students have performed at Speaker's House (Westminster), Kensington Palace, the All England Lawn Tennis Club and Joe Macari's sparkling showroom. Their annual youth big-band concert – 51st State Band – will perform at Putney Arts Theatre in November.
A registered charity whose doors first opened in 2012, World Heart Beat is a social enterprise with an 'open to all' policy, providing free or supported places for many of the children, 70{2e534ef053df196e2437f51df132cae85af5766e7537433a2c98bda92431fc1b} of whom are from black and minority ethnic backgrounds (many with troubled family backgrounds). The Academy was founded and is directed by the inspirational Sahana Gero, who has taught music in Wandsworth for many years and has played in concerts and taught all over the world. Chair of trustees is Veronica Bradbury, now retired from the headship of Allfarthing School, where she left a superb legacy to many – including Julian Joseph! Sahana has deep faith in World Heart Beat's ability through music to help transform lives. She says: "Our ethos is grounded in social change. We inspire and motivate young people to reach beyond the limitations circumstances have placed on them. We teach skills enabling students to lift their own aspirations and maximise their potential as musicians and citizens of the world."
However, the Academy is bursting at the seams. Its premises are now too small for comfort. To cater for demand, it needs to build a larger permanent new home in Wandsworth, more suitable for both teaching and performance. Its hope is that a developer now engaged in local regeneration will see how the housing of this unique entity could add a vital, rich dimension of youth and culture to otherwise largely commercial environments. Steve Rubie says: "A visit to World Heart Beat is a joyous event, where students and teachers alike delight in the pleasure of music-making and you leave somehow feeling that you have participated in something life-affirming and unique. World Heart Beat is not just important to the musical life of London, it's essential."
The Academy assesses that, through teaching, concerts and partnerships with local schools, it has reached out to well over 7,000 people in the last year. Wandsworth is benefiting hugely from the innovation and inspiration of a magical place of music and social transformation.

Well-being and Materialism on a Seesaw (#CPPA2014)
written by Kathryn Britton September 9, 2014
Kathryn Britton, MAPP '06, former software engineer, is a coach working with professionals to increase well-being, energy, and meaning in their work lives (Theano Coaching LLC). She is also a writing coach, facilitator of writing workshops, and teacher of positive workplace concepts at the University of Maryland. Her own books include Smarts and Stamina on using positive psychology principles to build strong health habits and Character Strengths Matter: How to Live a Full Life. Full bio. Kathryn's articles are here.
One of the benefits of attending conferences is encountering people you already know and catching up on what they've been doing since you last saw them. Another benefit is meeting new people whose ideas and work were outside your knowledge space before, broadening your understanding of what's included in the field.
In that respect, one of the great benefits of the Canadian Positive Psychology Association conference this summer was hearing Tim Kasser speak. Kasser is a professor at Knox College. He states on his web site, "My primary interest concerns people's values and goals, and how they relate to quality of life. Over the last decade I have been especially focused on studying 'materialistic values,' i.e., being wealthy, having many possessions, being attractive, and being popular." The slides for The Good life or the Goods life: Using the science of values to live well together are available for you to view if you want more after the taste I give below.
What's the Goods Life?
What does he mean by the goods life? That's the allure of materialism.
I want, I want, I want
I once worked in an office where there was an ongoing tongue-in-cheek game called, "Whoever has the best toys wins." At one time it was stereo equipment. At another, it was mountain bicycles. At another, it was fine wine and crystal to serve it in. Material goods were not just a way to gain pleasure. They were also a way to establish status in our little corner of the primate world.
Kasser showed some frightening examples of the extent of advertising for the goods life in our current society: people becoming product billboards with advertisements on their foreheads, advertising in school buses, Channel One TVs donated to schools with the proviso that children watch advertising during school hours along with educational programming.
The underlying messages of the goods life are:
People can purchase happiness.
It's important to society that people work and consume.
Life is meaningful and people are successful to the point that they have money, possessions, and the right image.
Playing on a seesaw
What's the Alternative?
Kasser made the point that materialism and well-being tend to be related to each other like two riders on a seesaw. When one goes up, the other goes down. As measures of well-being, he used some of the old favorites: low negative affect, high positive affect, and overall life satisfaction. He also used a number of other measures related to psychological health. In particular, he referenced the psychological needs described by Deci and Ryan and stated that "Materialistic values lead to choices and experiences that do a relatively poor job of satisfying psychological needs."
Kasser showed a number of studies that indicated the seesaw nature of materialism and well-being. He also showed the relationship between materialism and ecological attitudes.
He characterized the good life as one where we live well together, using the definition of Deneulin and McGregor. Living well together can only occur when the characteristics, practices, or situations that promote happiness do not interfere with others' opportunity to "live well," where others include
Other living humans
Future generations of humans
A materialistic culture where people consume without consideration of the impact on the planet, on other life forms, or on future generations is not living well together.
When people have values that contribute to living well together, such as self-acceptance, affiliation, and community feeling, they tend to have more happiness, more life satisfaction, more vitality, less anxiety, and fewer physical symptoms. Society benefits because there is more cooperation, more empathy, more prosocial behavior, and less antisocial behavior.
"One of my main take-aways from the conference is that the more you focus on intrinsic values, the less you rely on extrinsic sources for your well-being. Community values drive out materialistic values." ~ Andrew Soren, conference participant

John Oliver, BeMore Photography
Two Ways to Move Forward
One of the interesting ideas that comes out of the seesaw metaphor is that there are two ways to make progress:
Decrease materialism by limiting exposure to advertising and working on healthier attitudes toward money and possessions. Kasser has recently published a study that included interventions aimed at helping people differentiate between needs and wants, form a money plan, save and share, and explicitly use values to make financial decisions.
Increase well-being through interventions such as mindfulness practices, expressing gratitude, and reflecting on a person that accepts you.
Kasser described a number of studies that show that both approaches work. Raising well-being tends to lower materialism, and lowering materialism tends to raise well-being.
Policy Questions
Kasser argued that there actions that could be taken at the society level to take advantage of the seesaw and work toward greater well-being.
Twin Falls: Thinking about the environment in which we live
For example he argues that American policies that allow companies to write-off advertising as a business expense are detrimental to the overall well-being of the American public. Instead, we could have society-wide investment in protecting the environment and encouraging individuals to protect the environment by careful consuming.
Kasser showed some slides comparing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), a measure that is designed to include environmental and social factors. The GPI shows little upward progress over the last 50 years, in contrast to the GDP. As he mentions in the Bellagio Initiative briefing paper, we could "develop alternative indicators of progress that de-privilege extrinsic/self-enhancement values and that include assessments of
intrinsic/self-transcendent values in their calculations." He also argues in favor of increasing time affluence instead of financial affluence, since that gives people the wherewithal for self-transcendent behaviors, such as investing in their communities.
"What endears me further to the science of positive psychology and the people who embody it, is this attitude of abundance in regards to its application in practice, education, leadership, and research. For me this translates to endless access to information, openness and curiosity by others when you share your ideas and dreams, and trust in the level of inquiry. What a context for learning! I viewed the CPPA conference as an recipe to help us live well, as Tim Kasser put it, "with others, the environment, and for future generations." What a legacy that would be!" ~ Cathy Parsons, conference participant

Great article, Kathryn! I enjoyed thinking about many of the lines you wrote.
The main though that kept coming to mind is something my Pastor said in church not long ago: we used to use things, and love people. Now we tend to love things, and use people… Sad, but true!
Kathryn Britton September 11, 2014 - 4:59 pm
MJ, I wonder if that's the case — or any more the case than it used to be. Interesting question.


The boxer turned model has another talent up his sleeve: acting. We get to know the boy from East London with his star on the ascent.
Born and bred in East London, Dudley O'Shaughnessy is the model, actor, and all round dream-boat you need to know about. You might recognize the former boxer from Rihanna's "We Found Love" music video (yes we asked him, and no he doesn't know how it happened either). If not, don't worry because you'll be seeing a lot more of this one. After spending a few years strutting his stuff on Jeremy Scott and Balmain's catwalks, Dudley's finally decided to hang up his modeling shoes and head Stateside to focus on a career in acting. With a couple of shorts already under his belt, and feature length film, White Color Black, in the making, Dudley's star shines ever brighter. If you don't love him already, prepare to fall hard.
I'm born and bread in East London. Mom and dad were separated from young, but always kept good friends, so I grew up in two areas. Monday to Friday I'd be at my dad's in Canning Town for school and for boxing. Weekends I'd go to my mom's in Hackney. I got two brothers and two sisters, aunties, uncles, a bunch of cousins, and beautiful nieces and nephews. And a group of extraordinary friends who remind me of Jedi from Star Wars. I boxed from the age of 9 to 21 at West Ham Boys Club in Plaistow; it was the real primary school, secondary school, college, and university for me. Once I stopped boxing I put more time into modeling and now I currently live in Los Angeles. I moved here in September to follow my dreams of becoming and great actor and an inspiration to the younger generation.
How and when were you first discovered?
I was in Old Street with my mom and a lady called Bernice Bobbery scouted me. She saw me from far and managed to get to me before I went though the train barriers. I owe a lot to her, and to so many others, so thank you if you're reading this Bernice.
What was it like at first? Did it come naturally or were you quite self-conscious?
It was very nerve-racking at first; it used to make me more nervous than when I was about to fight in boxing. But slowly it got calmer and calmer, I still get nervous but it's not as bad. If anything, modeling made me more self-conscious.
For me, it has to be the people involved. I've met so many great individuals that I wouldn't have ever met if it wasn't for the modeling industry. It's helped me grow a lot as a person too, and also helped me with more of an understanding of how things work.
I have to say winning the National ABA title in 2010, it was the first thing I'd really put all my heart and soul into.
How did working with Rihanna come about?
To be totally honest with you, I'm not entirely sure. It just happened. All part of the magical journey.
I've always been interested in acting, but it wasn't until I stopped boxing that I really started to search for it. Once I did the "We Found Love" video, it was confirmation for me that acting is what my heart beats for. I believe it's my calling. And I've picked up the phone.
What is it about acting as a profession that interests you most?
There's many things. I'd say the main thing is how much it opens me up as a person; it challenges me a lot and all the challenges somehow fit some other challenge subconsciously in my life, it's therapy in a way. It also requires, heart, soul, acceptance, dedication, and truth. Boxing does too, so I can use what I've learned through boxing and apply it all to acting.
What can you get out of it that you couldn't get out of modeling?
It requires me to feel and be open, there's no Photoshop in emotion, the camera sees everything. With modeling I just turn up to set, but with acting I have to really prepare, and in doing that I get to bring someone to life and tell their story. It's a beautiful thing.
You've done a couple of shorts, can you tell us a bit about these?
I'm not sure what to say, but they've all been brilliant. I've learned so much in all of them; I feel they really capture my progression.
What's the story behind White Color Black?
First of all it's directed by a very talented man named Joseph Adesunloye from Nigeria. It's about a photographer from London who is missing something vital in his life, and until he deals with that he cannot go on. And that is love, culture, and truth. He has to go to Senegal in Africa to find it.
What kinds of films do you want to be a part of?
I don't have a specific genre but everything I want to be a part of has to challenge me in some way.
There's been a lot of discussion about diversity or lack thereof within Hollywood and also fashion. What are your thoughts?
There is a lack, but both industries, I believe, are incredibly diverse. Five years ago was a lot worse than it is now, in another five years it'll only be more open. Times are changing constantly -- it's all part of it.
Unity and love, that everyone is the same, everything is one. And everything can be overcome. Love is all we need and all we're really in search for deep down.
Home will always be in London, but I know right now I can't go home, because I have a path to follow and right now that path is in the city of Los Angeles, the city of Angels.
What's the bravest thing you can do as young person?
Look someone in the eye and speak the truth about how you feel and not to have any intentions -- to just go with your true feeling.
Our differences are what gives us a unified voice to stand for something that affects all of what we as a people are made of. No one is one color anymore. It's 2016, Two Thousand and Sixteen years on earth. Two Thousand and Sixteen years old.
My craft and process as an individual and an actor. I have another short film that I'll be shooting at the end of the month in Berlin, with a fantastic director called Hakan Can. [I] also directed a music video for singer with a lot of potential called Jorja Smith which should be coming out soon, check her out. There's also some other stuff but I can't talk about it -- just keep your eyes open.
Just to be doing everything that I love to do with others who love what they do and to get closer to my family. And want to shout out all my Gs dem, all the Jedis dem. I see you now.

Turkish-born NBA player Enes Kanter, calls Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan "the Hitler of our century," who tries to silence those who speak out against his government.
The Oklahoma City Thunder center made the comments in a video he posted to Twitter over the weekend, where Kanter blamed Turkey for cancelling his passport while he was traveling in Romania.
"The reason behind it is just, of course my political views and the guy who did it is, Recep Tayyip - the President of Turkey," Kanter says in the video.
ESPN is reporting that during a press conference on Monday, Kanter said he wanted to become an American citizen.
"Right now I am country-less," Kanter said at the National Basketball Players Association headquarters in Manhattan. "I am open to adoption definitely. I am going to try to become an American citizen. I have a green card. We will see if they can speed up the process a little bit. It would definitely be nice. Right now my next move is becoming an American citizen."

The OFNTSC's Water and Wastewater Service works with First Nations to ensure community water and wastewater systems perform at their peak efficiency, and within operating guidelines. In addition, the Water and Wastewater Service provides assurance for safe drinking water in First Nation communities.
The Water and Wastewater Service began as a quality assurance initiative. The aim was to ensure that First Nations in Ontario were receiving the same level of service from the OFNTSC and tribal council technical services. Those principals helped shape what is currently provided. Today the Water and Wastewater Service includes engineering functions, and a project planning program that runs from inception to completion.

There's nothing better than busting out the grill during the hot, summer months. It keeps the house cool and there is always much less cleanup involved. Plus, that savory, grilled flavor — can't get enough!
This easy vegetarian appetizer is a guaranteed hit for summer barbecues. It's easy to make and loaded with fresh, summery flavor.
They just grow so quickly in the garden! If you tire of zucchini quickly are out of new ideas on how to prepare it, keep reading! This recipe is about to solve your zucchini rut.
You'll start off by slicing long, thin slabs of zucchini and grilling them for just a few minutes on each side. Then, you'll mix up a simple goat cheese stuffing to spread on each grilled zucchini slab.
The goat cheese mixture is really the secret sauce here — you're going to want to spread it on everything you see! It would be excellent on toast, mixed in pasta, eaten with raw vegetables and spread onto crackers. It's addicting stuff!
Roll up your zucchini, secure it with a toothpick and you're all set. Just don't forget the kalamata olive. It adds a nice, salty bite!
This appetizer can be eaten warm, room temperature or even chilled. Feel free to serve with a few sprigs of fresh herbs and a lemon wedge or two. You can even consider these as a side-dish or chop them up and use as a salad topping.
Any way you go about it, you won't be disappointed.
Preheat your grill to medium, or 350 F.
In a small bowl, mash goat cheese with a fork until softened. Mix in herbs, salt, pepper and garlic. Taste and add more salt if desired. Gently mix in the roasted peppers. Set aside.
Trim the ends and slice your zucchini lengthwise into about 1/8″ to 1/4″ thick and even slabs. Lightly oil on both sides.
Once the grill is hot, lay zucchini on the grill grates and let cook for 2-3 minutes, until grill marks start to appear. Flip, and grill another 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the grill and place on a cooling rack. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.
Spread 2-3 teaspoons of the goat cheese mixture down the length of each zucchini slab. Roll tightly. Skewer an olive on a toothpick and press into each roll. Serve at room temperature or chill before serving.
You can make these a few hours in advance, but save the toothpick and olive addition until just before serving. They will keep in the fridge for a few days, but best served (for a party/company) the same day.

When you ship a rare book, you can chew through your nails hoping it gets to its destination without damage. Luckily, you can take some precautions in how you package it. This lets you ship antique books safely and without worry.
Have the book appraised. This can be difficult, but knowing its worth is paramount. If you're looking to sell the book, an auction company will usually arrange shipping itself. However, auctions usually result in less money than private sales. If you've sold the book yourself, you want it shipped by a professional shipping company that is capable of handling antiques and expensive cargo.
On anything that's very expensive, you want to get insurance. Something happening en route is very unlikely, but you want to be protected nonetheless.
Take pictures or video of the book and its condition before sending it so that you have a record of this condition. This protects you against the seller claiming damage as well.
You'll want to wrap the book in tissue or craft paper. Do not use newsprint, as this will rub off on the book and damage it. Tissue or craft paper will keep the book clean and initially padded from dust and grit. Wrapping firmly will also help the book hold its shape. Yes, books are solid, blocky objects, but binding can still be shifted and worn, and older books often struggle to hold their pages in. Wrapping will help reinforce the shape during shipping.
We recommend bubble wrap next. Wrap this around the initial wrapping paper. Wrap around left to right, and then wrap around top to bottom. This secures anything from directly damaging the book. Tape the bubble wrap so it will stay.
Then, place the entire package in a sealable plastic bag. This helps guard against moisture build up.
Place this package into a box with padding all around – top and bottom, front and back, and sides. This "floats" the book and its padding so that it doesn't bang up against the sides. Before you close the box, slip an invoice or card with return address.
For extra protection, you can put this box into another box, "floating" it with padding all around for extra safety.
Use strong tape, such as shipping tape or filament tape, to seal the entire package. Do not use a weak tape. Avoid craft, transparent Scotch, masking, electrical, or even packing tape. You can take the utmost care when you ship antique books, but if you skimp on the tape, packages can still come undone.
That's how you ship a rare book safely. We're happy to answer any other questions you have or to provide an estimate for your shipping needs!
