DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE SECURITY AND PROSPERITY PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT?
"SPP has three fundamental objectives.to create more advantageous conditions for transnational corporations and remove remaining barriers to the flow of capital and crossborder production within the framework of NAFTA. It wants to secure access to natural resources, especially oil. And it wants to create a regional security plan based on "pushing its borders out" into a security perimeter that includes Mexico and Canada."- Laura Carlsen, International Relations Centre.
The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) was founded in March 2005 at a summit of the Heads of State of Canada, the US, and Mexico. SPP is not an official treaty; it is not an official law; rather, it is being presented as a vague 'diaologue based on shared values'. Therefore it has been able to escape any public scrutiny and will never be debated in the House of Commons.
The North American Forum sponsored one of the various secretive meetings in Sept 2006 in Banff Springs. When asked by the media if he was in attendance, Stockwell Day refused to confirm he was there, but said that even if he was, it was a "private" meeting that he would not comment on. Another instance of this secrecy was revealed during hearings of the Commons International Trade Committee into the SPP in 2007. Gordon Laxer, head of Alberta's Parkland Institute, was testifying on the energy implications of the SPP, when Committee Chair Conservative MP Leon Benoit, demanded that Laxer halt his "irrelevant" testimony. The Committee members overruled Benoit—who then promptly (and illegally) adjourned the meeting and stomped out.
The SPP is a NAFTA-plus-Homeland-Security model. The founding premise of the SPP is that an agenda of economic free trade and national security will result in human prosperity. Yet we know that the so-called "prosperity" of previous free trade agreements such as NAFTA have onlybrought corporate prosperity, with increasing rates of poverty and displacement for the majority of people.
WHO IS BEHIND THE SPP?
"No item – not Canadian water, not Mexican oil, not American anti-dumping laws – "is off the table"; rather, contentious or intractable issues will simply require more time to ripen politically." – Leaked Minutes of a 2004 meeting of the Task Force on the Future of North America The North American Competitiveness Council (NACC) was launched as part of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) in June 2006. It is the only formal advisory board to the SPP and is made up of 30 corporate leaders from Canada, the U.S. and Mexico with ten advisors from each of the SPP signatory states.
The NACC has become the concrete reality emerging from proposals by corporate think-tanks such the Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE), the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Consejo Mexicano De Asuntos Internacionels (COMEXI) to have a trilateral corporate body which would advise the three governments on issues ranging from military integration to securing energy resources to controlling migration.
In Canada, the CCE is a CEO organization whose corporations administer in excess of C$2.1 trillion in assets. In January 2003, CCCE launched its North American Security and Prosperity Initiative to increase investment and capital flows, integrate security agreements and military defence, and expedited means of resource (oil, natural gas, water, forest products) extraction. This has essentially become the template for the SPP.
In short, the NACC, representing private corporate interests, has been "institutionalized" as a policy-making body, thus formalizing and deepening the existing patterns of influence that corporations already have.
Harper appointed the Canadian membership of the NACC in June 2006: Dominic D'Alessandro (Manulife Financial); Paul Desmarais, Jr. (Power Corporation of Canada); David Ganong (Ganong Bros. Limited); Richard George (Suncor Energy Inc.); Hunter Harrison (CN); Linda Hasenfratz (Linamar Corporation); Michael Sabia (Bell Canada Enterprises); Jim Shepherd (Canfor Corporation); Annette Verschuren (The Home Depot); and Rick Waugh (Scotiabank).
WHAT ARE FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS ALL ABOUT?
"Free trade" is an oft-touted term whose consequences are rarely fully understood. Free trade agreements include steps to further privatization, service cuts, and corporate tax breaks. "Barriers to trade" such as public services, labour standards, and health and environmental regulations are eliminated. Fifty-one of the world's top 100 economies are corporations.
Since the US-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 1985, wage growth in Canada has been almost flat and the majority of jobs are un-unionized and part time. Since the implementation of NAFTA in 1994, the bottom 20% of Canadian families saw their incomes fall by 7.6%, while the top 20% saw their incomes rise by 16.8%. In 2004, the average earnings of the richest 10% of Canada's families raising children was 82 times that earned by the poorest 10% of Canada's families. This is despite the fact that that most households are clocking in almost 200 hours more than nine years ago.
Similarly in the US, according to Forbes Magazine, the largest employer is Wal-Mart, whose average wage is $7.50 per hour.
In Mexico, the number of Mexicans living in severe poverty has grown by four million since NAFTA and the real value of the minimum wage has dropped by 23%. The costs of environmental degradation have amounted to 10% of the annual GDP. With the rise in agribusiness, more than 50,000 Mexican farmers are expelled from their lands annually. Many of these 1.5 million displaced Mexican farmers have migrated to North America to work in low-paying sectors such as construction, agriculture and factories.
"Corporate globalization for us is colonization continued without any letup." – Sharon Venne, Cree lawyer.
WHAT IS THE WAR ON TERROR ALL ABOUT?
The threat of terrorism has created a sense of its own inevitability and we take for granted that the quickest and most effective way of responding is to be "better safe than sorry'. Evan Sycamnias has written that "these instituted ways of doing things create their own 'regime of truth' which simultaneously shores up the institutional structure and closes off any fundamental questions which might undermine it."The ever-expanding security apparatus is less about protecting society than it is about creating a culture of fear in the context of the War on Terrorism.
legitimize a series of exclusionary policies that have targeted racialized "non-citizens", communists, socialists, as well as First Nations and black activists, and sexual minorities. In particular, "national security" concerns have had a direct impact on Canadian immigration policies and have been used as a tool of immigration control by creating a discourse of the threat "outsiders" pose to the Canadian nation.
WHAT IS THE SPP SPECIFICALLY ABOUT?
– Integration of military and police training exercises, cooperation on law enforcement, and the expansion of The North American Aerospace Defense Command into a into a joint naval and land Defense Command. – Bulk transfers of water, particularly from Canada to the US. For example, the North American Water and Power Authority would redirect water from British Columbia and the Yukon to a huge crater in the Rocky Mountains inn the U.S. side. – Privatization of Mexico's nationalized oil sector; and fivefold increase in tar sands production in Alberta, which is actively opposed by the Lubicon, Dene, Mikisew Cree and other indigenous communities. The tar sands are already the largest contributor to the growth of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada and surrounding indigenous communities have documented high cancer rates. – In 2001, without legislative or public debate, Deputy Prime Minister John Manley and Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge signed the Smart Border Declaration, which includes adoption of coordinated border surveillance technologies with major contracts provided to military suppliers, and development of a North American Border Pass. Other initiatives to militarize the border include fly-overs of the border by U.S. helicopters and the $101-million plan to arm Canadian border guards. – Coordination of no-fly lists. The recent implementation of the Canadian fly-list "Passenger Protect" has raised serious privacy and civil liberties concerns. The U.S. no-fly list has grown to half a million names. – Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the Canadian Border Services Agency began a field trial of biometrics in October 2006 despite widespread rejection of their use. The Canadian Advance Technology Alliance Biometrics Group is predicting that the biometric "market" would rise to US $2.6-billion by 2006. -Integration of refugee policies. The Safe Third Country Agreement, implemented in December 2004 between the US and Canada, has resulted in at least a 40% decrease in refugee applications in Canada. Under the United States-Mexico "Voluntary Repatriation Program" more than 35,000 persons have already been deported.
– Expansion of temporary worker programs. Canada's Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program is seen as the 'model' to implement, despite widespread documented abuse in this program including being tied to the employer who "imports" them; facing deportation if they assert their rights; and exploitative working conditions including low wages and long hours with no overtime pay. – Harmonization of health and environmental regulations to lower standards and an alternative to the Kyoto Protocol. – NAFTA Superhighway, a several hundred metres corridor ncluding rail lines and pipelines from Mexico to the Canadian border.Transportation companies such as CN Rail have much to gain; in Western Canada alone CN plans to invest nearly C$350 million in track infrastructure. Historically and currently, CN Rail has been the target of various blockades by indigenous communities active in the legitimate defence of their land and livelihood against the project of Canada's 'nation-building' and resource extraction.
The Athabasca oil sands are one of the world's largest petroleum resource basins. Oil sand operations currently produce around one million barrels a day. For Suncor- one the corporations on the NACC- that means gross revenue from oil sands of nearly $6 million a day. By 2015, according to industry forecasts, the oil sands will account for at least one-fourth of North America's oil production, expected to produce 3 million barrels a day by 2015.
The oil sands mines have become the largest contributor to Canada's increase in greenhouse gas emissions and environmental organizations are calling for a moratorium on the growth of the mines. To extract one barrel of oil, corporations mine 2 to 4 tonnes of tar sands and burn 250 cubic feet of natural gas; then burn another 500 cubic feet of gas to upgrade bitumen into synthetic oil; use 2 to 4 1/2 barrels of water; and release 2 times as much CO2 as conventional oil production. Alberta accounts for about 40% of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions. Six of the top 10 emitters in the country are based in Calgary, including TransAlta, Syncrude Canada Ltd., Suncor Energy Inc. and Petro-Canada. Furthermore, the oil sand mines are being carved out of Canada's vast Boreal forest, a continental swath of timber and wetlands that ecologists say helps reduce global warming.
Alberta and an alternative to the Kyoto Protocol since the oil sands are a clear violation of Kyoto commitments. Plans and procedures for the tar sands extraction are originating in a SPP tar sands working group that has been meeting outside of regular government activity, without any public input, and brings together oil giants CEOs and government officials.
Companies exploiting the tar sands are calling for the expansion of the temporary foreign worker program as a means of securing hyper-exploitable labour that will ensure higher profits. Foreign worker programs across North America have documented widespread abuse, including being tied to the employer who "imports" them; facing deportation if they assert their rights; and exploitative working conditions including low wages and long hours with no overtime pay. In April 2007, for example, two migrants workers died and four others critically injured at an oil sands project run by run by Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. The Alberta Federation of Labour reported that the workers who called to report the accident to the union subsequently had their cellphones confiscated. At the February 2007 SPP meeting in Ottawa, executives from the Canadian and Mexican Oil & Gas industries laid a framework to encourage their governments to put in place a guestworker program for Mexican workers to labour in Canada's oilsands.
Indigenous communities around the tarsands, including the Lubicon, Dene, Mikisew Cree, have been actively opposing the projects. The Dehcho First Nations has been opposing the 1,200-kilometre Mackenzie Valley pipeline and industrial development on their unceded traditional territories. The Mikisew Cree have decided to formally oppose oil sands development because of their concern over the industry's overuse of water drawn from the Athabasca River. The Lubicon Nation has also seen their traditional lands overrun by massive oil and gas exploitation which has destroyed traditional lands and ways of life. The Lubicon Nation has been seeking a land rights settlement with the federal and provincial governments for years, yet corporate development has continued unabated. The Lubicon Nation estimates that over $13 billion in oil and gas resources have been taken from Lubicon Traditional Territory since oil and gas exploitation began 26 years ago. Native residents of Fort Chipewyan, a village of 1,200 on the shores of Lake Athabasca, have experienced abnormally high rates of rare cancers. Recently, the alarming levels of toxic chemicals in the air, water and soil near Sarnia Ontario- where crude oil is refined- were exposed when it was found that these chemicals were likely contributing to the skewed gender balance in the Aamjiwnaang First Nations reserve near Sarnia.
– Integration of military and police training exercises and cooperation on law enforcement. – Redesign of armed forces for combat overseas. Cooperation in global wars and occupations are part of the "forward defense" strategy of the security perimeter. – Expansion of The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) into a multiservice joint naval and land Defense Command. – The Smart Border Declaration passed without legislative or public debate in 2001 by Deputy Prime Minister John Manley and Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge. This 30-point plan includes harmonization of border security technologies and increased border militarization. – Increased border enforcement against Mexican migrants at the US-Mexico border and 'sealing' of the southern Mexico border with Guatemala and Belize through Plan Sur. This measure had the effect of "displacing" tasks of the U.S. southern border to southern Mexico. – Militarization of the border including fly-overs of the border by U.S. helicopters and the $101-million plan to arm Canadian border guards.
-A North American Border Pass with biometric identifiers: the Canadian government has began a field trial of biometrics in October 2006 despite widespread rejection of their use.
– Coordination of no-fly lists and passenger surveillance systems.
Transport Canada's no-fly list, which as already raised serious privacy and civil liberties concerns, will merge with the US list, which contains almost 500,000 names. – Harmonized immigration and refugee regimes: the Safe Third Country Agreement, implemented in December 2004 between the US and Canada, has resulted in at least a 40% decrease in refugee applications in Canada. This 'virtual' border wall disallows migrants arriving at the Canadian border if they have travelled through the United States by land. The countries have also launched a pilot project to share information on refugee and asylum claimants based on a comparison of fingerprint records. – Increased deportations: under the United States-Mexico "Voluntary Repatriation Program" more than 35,000 persons have already been deported. Immigrants and workers of colour face specific threats under the new internal security regime. A US State Department regulation prohibits workers in the aerospace industry born in one of 19 'enemy' countries from working on US defence contracts. Despite human rights laws in Quebec and Canada, twenty-four workers at Bell Helicopter of Montreal were removed from their positions. The case of one worker, Mr Jaime Vargas, born in Venezuela, is being taken up by the Centre for Research-Action on Race Relations.
The expansion of security initiatives and infrastructure comes with a great benefit to private industry and the role of the private sector in this expansion was highlighted as one of the priorities of the North American Competitiveness Council (NACC) at its Trilateral Private Sector meeting of August 2006. In September 2006, the U.S. component of the NACC released its final recommendations. In its recommendations on security issues, the body wrote that "As 85% of the United States' critical infrastructure is owned or operated by the private sector, it is vital to our economic and national security that business is actively involved in the formulation of homeland security policies".
Within weeks of the 9/11, the chairman of the Cornell Corporations, based in Texas, told stock analysts, "it's clear since September 11 there is a heightened focus on detention, more people are going to get caught. I would say that is positive. The federal businesses are the best business for us since September 11th." On Sept. 21 2006, Michael Chertoff, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced that a consortium headed by the Chicago-based Boeing Company had won a multi-billion dollar contract to install sensors and radars along the U.S. border. Similarly in Canada, the Canadian Advance Technology Alliance (CATA) has predicted that "the North American biometric market could expand ten-fold in the next five years, rising to US $2.6-billion by 2006".
mostly filled by (im)migrant and non-status workers.
Temporary migrant workers allow for capital interests to have access to cheap labour that exists under precarious conditions, the most severe of which is the condition of being deportable. The condition of being deportable assures the ability to super-exploit and to dispose of migrant workforce without consequences. Given their unstable legal status, the government and businesses are able to exercise control through denial of basic rights and access to social services afforded to citizens. They also maintain the sanctity of the fortified national security apparatus by legalizing the 'foreign-ness' of migrant workers, thus continuing to render them as 'undesirable outsiders'.
The SPP has called for the expansion of guest workers programs that will bring in more migrant workers instead of immigrant workers with full permanent residency rights. The number of foreign workers in B.C. has doubled over the past three years and the Alberta Federation of Labour is reporting that Alberta has become one of the first provinces to bring in more people as temporary foreign workers than through the immigration system.
Canada's Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program is seen as the model for migrant worker programs under the SPP, despite the fact that widespread abuse has been documented. Common problems include low wages, long hours with no overtime pay, unsafe working conditions and crowded and unhealthy accommodations. Migrant farm workers are frequently paid less than Canadian counterparts, in violation of their employment agreement. Many migrant farm workers are required to work with pesticides without proper training or safety equipment. Accommodations may be attached to greenhouses; creating problems of dampness and seepage of chemicals and pesticides. Some employers retain passports, health cards, social insurance cards, and work permits. The workers' complaints are rarely heard or addressed by their employers or the Mexican consulate and workers can and have been sent home for filing complaints. Therefore such programs are inherently designed to provide employers and corporations with a pool of exploitable labour- without the right to unionize or to assert their rights.
The deepest hypocrisy and irony of temporary foreign worker programs is that those who are often to migrate to work in these programs are displaced from their own lands and their own jobs through these very free trade agreements such as NAFTA and SPP. For example, as part of its inclusion in NAFTA in 1994, Mexico was forced to adjust its constitution's Article 27, which guaranteed rights to communal lands (ejidos). A symbolic illustration of NAFTA's effects is the fate of Mexican corn: the Mexican government was forced to eliminate subsidies to corn, meanwhile corn produced in the US remained subsidized, thus making it cheaper to buy US corn inside Mexico than Mexican corn. Over 1.5 million Mexican farmers who subsequently lost their farms migrated North to work in low-paying sectors and maquila of whom are undocumented, is approximately $6.75 an hour.
Therefore, on the one hand, Canadian government supports international agreements that allow for the free movement of capital and business across the globe and such capitalist relocation has created huge areas of poverty giving people no choice but to migrate in the face of poverty, war and militarization. Yet, on the other hand, while businesses are free to move across borders to find thriving economic conditions, free trade and border agreements deny people the same type of free movement.
The real face of SPP is to further an agenda of corporate free trade, border militarization, criminalization of migration, privatization and theft of indigenous land and resources, repression in the name of national security, impoverishment and displacement, and cooperation in war and occupation. SPP is a direct continuation of the colonialist and capitalist politics that perpetuate and accelerate the carnage, pillage, and destruction of the planet.
Contact the various companies that make up the NACC and tell them you do not support their participation in the NACC. Advise them that will no longer be their customers unless they publicly announce that they will not participate in the NACC. Let your political representatives know that you do not support the SPP.
Tell your friends and family about the SPP. Contact us to find out more information or to get involved: noii-van (at) resist.ca or call 778-552-2099. We are organizing pickets, boycotts, and actions against the corporations involved in NACC; raising public awareness on the issue; and building momentum towards the continental days of action August 19-21 when Bush, Harper, and Calderon will meet in Montebello, Quebec for a SPP Summit.

Pro. Clinics have multiple 5-star reviews, on many different platforms, such as Google, Facebook, and Treatwell, so you can rest assured that you are in safe hands for whatever treatment you decide to have carried out.
What is laser age spot & sun spot treatment?
Put simply, laser age spot and sun spot removal is the removal of a blemish, using a cosmetic laser.
At Pro. Clinics we can offer you laser treatment for age spots on your hands, your face, or your body.
Age spots are often brown and sometimes called liver spots. That said, they don't actually have anything to do with the liver.
A more accurate name for these blemishes would be sun spots, as they are usually caused by sun exposure over the course of many years.
Having treated age spots and sun spots for many years, we have found that these brown spots usually fade well when treated with a Q Switched Nd YAG laser. However, it is very important to check that the blemish is benign before any laser treatment can start.
If your age spot is growing rapidly or has any lumps or black spots within it you should book an appointment with your GP first, just to check that it is safe to treat.
What is the difference between age spots, sun spots, freckles & moles?
Most people have some form of pigmented spotting on their skin. Some are born with these spots and in others they develop over time through the aging process or sun exposure. While most brown spots are harmless, some may be a sign of skin cancer, so it is very important to keep a close eye on your skin and book an appointment with your GP if you have any concerns.
Below is a brief overview of the differences between these blemishes.
Freckles are very small flat, circular spots, that are usually brown in color. They often appear in groups on areas of the skin that are regularly exposed to the sun, such as the face, arms, chest and legs. Freckles sometimes become darker after prolonged sun exposure, but often lighten up in the winter.
Age spots are also sometimes referred to as sun spots or solar lentigines. They are flat brown blemishes that appear when the skin is exposed excessively to ultraviolet light, either from the sun or from tanning beds. These blemishes often appear on areas of the body that are most exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, neck, arms and legs.
A mole is a growth that appears on the skin, that usually appears flesh-coloured, brown, or black. Moles tend to appear anywhere on the skin, sometimes alone, or occasionally in groups. Moles are often benign (non-cancerous) but there is always a chance that they are malignant (cancerous). For this reason, it is critical to monitor any moles that you may have. If you notice any significant changes in your mole you should book an appointment with your GP.
This is a very important question and one which we will try our best to answer for you. An age spot is a blemish on the skin. Whilst unsightly, they are ultimately harmless.
To make matters more confusing, Melanoma can also cause brown spots on the skin, although they are usually darker in color. This is the most dangerous type of skin cancer, so if you find a brown spot on your body that you are concerned about, it is essential to book an appointment with your GP right away.
It is not always easy to tell the difference between age spots and melanoma, but generally speaking age spots have smooth borders and are often uniform in color. They are also usually painless.
Melanoma are far more serious and can change colour over time. The blemishes are usually black or dark brown and have jagged edges. They are also sometimes painful or itchy. It is very important to see a doctor as soon as possible if a spot has the following early signs of melanoma: starts to grow very quickly, is very dark in colour, or has an irregular border. You should also be wary if the blemish has an odd combination of colors, that include red, if it bleeds, is itchy, or painful.
It is worth remembering that melanoma are curable if found in the early stages. However, once it spreads, it can compromise internal organs and lead to serious and even fatal outcomes.
What are the non-surgical alternatives and remedies? Creams, lotions, concealers.
Many people are desperate to hide the signs of aging, and sun spots or age spots are a real giveaway. These small dark patches technically known as hyperpigmentation are generally caused by over production of melanin, the brown pigment within the skin that is caused by long term exposure to UV light.
There are various treatments available ranging from creams, lotions and concealers.
Sadly, creams and lotions are often ineffective at removing these troublesome blemishes, and concealers only offer a temporary solution. Laser is a quick and effective option, and at Pro Clinics we regularly help our clients to achieve blemish free skin.
Is laser age spot & sun spot treatment safe?
Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) work by destroying the melanin producing cells (melanocytes), but without damaging the area around the blemish. Treatments with a laser or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) are very safe, as the area surrounding the sun spot, or age spot, is not affected. As with all clinical procedures, it is important to keep the treated area clean and sterile afterwards to minimize the risk of infection.
What are the benefits of laser age spot & sun spot treatment?
Age spots and sun spots are generally nothing to worry about, although for many people, they are an annoyance. Removing them using a laser is a quick and easy process and one that many people are keen to embrace. The treatment is cosmetic and although there is no medical advantage to removing age spots or sun spots, aesthetically speaking most people would prefer to have blemish free skin.
What is the cost of laser age spot & sun spot treatment?
We charge £50 per session for Laser Age Spot / Sun Spot Removal. This price will cover up to 10 blemishes. If you require more than 10 blemishes to be treated, additional costs will apply.
Which parts of the body can you remove age spots & sun spots from?
We can safely and effectively remove age spots / sun spots from almost any area of the body.
The laser light is very bright and can seriously damage eyes, so everyone in the room will have to wear protective goggles. The laser fires in rapid bursts; these feel a bit like the spatter of hot fat from a frying pan, or the flick of an elastic band. The discomfort varies with the sensitivity of the area being treated. The treated area will sting for a while afterwards and a dark purple scab will form and last for about two weeks. Some pinkness of the treated area will persist for several weeks. Another treatment may be necessary after two to three months.
Generally speaking, 1 session using our powerful Q Switched Nd Yag laser is enough to permanently remove unwanted age spots / sun spots, although on some occasions, a follow up session may be required around a month later.
How long do the effects last? Will spots re-appear?
Once the treatment has been completed, the effects are generally considered to be permanent. That said, it is not to say that new age spots / sun spots may not appear, as they are a natural symptom of aging and a reaction to UV light.
Laser sun spot / age spot removal is a very safe and effective way of removing these unwanted blemishes. Serious problems are rare. Scarring is a potential problem, but unlikely and if it does occur, it is usually in the form of some change in texture of the skin. There can also be some loss of natural tanning ability in the treated area, but this often improves with time. On darker skin tones or tanned skin, it is difficult to get an even tone, so it is unlikely to match your natural skin colour.
You should not have many problems with the treated area, as it generally settles rapidly if left alone. It should not need a dressing as long as you can resist picking and scratching. The longer the scab stays undisturbed, the better the outcome.
It is important not to get the treated area soggy, so no long baths or swimming, although gentle washing and showering is fine. Hand cream and moisturiser can be used, but very gently so as not to disturb the scabs.
Once the scabs have come off naturally, you can resume all usual activities. A suntan gets in the way of the laser light so avoid the sun, or use a strong sunblock before, during and after the treatment in order to keep the area as pale as possible.

Considered to be Canada's largest outdoor car show, the two-day Fleetwood Country Cruize In began with a handful of Steve Plunkett's friends with a cooler of Coca Cola and has mushroomed into an extravaganza for car nuts every June at Plunkett's expansive estate (which includes a private golf course) in London, Ontario. Over the ten editions of the event, where you can see everything from movie cars to hot rods, to current exotics to Mr. Plunkett's own astonishing collection of Cadillacs, more than $1.4 million has been raised for local charities.
Leaving Ottawa early on June 3, we cruised westwards to London, which is 630 kms away. After navigating the usual terrible 401 traffic across Toronto, we had smooth sailing and stayed for the night at simple accommodations at Western University and enjoyed some craft beer in the somewhat depressed-looking central business district of the city.
The next morning we headed to the Plunkett Estate and I was not sure what would happen but we were directed not to visitor parking but into the grounds themselves: we were part of the show!
Steven Plunkett's Carriage House, where the cream of his Cadillac collection resides, highlighting coachbuilt vehicles and some of the most beautiful Cadillacs built. Most are from the 1930s but there are also some very rare prototypes from the late 1940s/early 1950s.
Not a Camaro RS but a barbecue unit!
We had a great time at the show and were able to get in close to see the cars on this beautiful day. I had the chance to talk for a while with Steve Plunkett himself about his Cadillacs; a very approachable person who clearly loves to see people enjoy his cars and who has been very generous to allow several thousand cars to drive on his lawns for two days!

ANNAPOLIS ? After skipping the Washington County delegation's first meeting of the 2008 legislative session, Del. John P. Donoghue said he probably won't attend any - because of politics.
Asked if he'd participate if there were a hotly debated topic, Donoghue said, "If the chair lets me know, I'll be happy to be there."


Abigail and Brittany Hensel are the only known surviving dicephalic conjoined twins. They were born with just one body between them and only had a one in 30 million chance to survive – and they did. They were an astonishing case for the medical world, but what would society think?
They now live on a farm in a close-knit community, protected from other people. Now that they have turned sixteen, they want to show the world what it really means being joined for life. In this documentary they reveal how they live, how they learned to cooperate with each other and what challenges they and their family have to face every day.

Rugby league has never been short on so-called colourful characters. Former New Zealand Rugby League chairman Gerald Ryan, who passed away last Saturday aged 87, was that and then some.
He was one of eight brothers - including two sets of identical brothers - from a rather remarkable family.
Frank, who died last year aged 84, was a long-time Mount Albert mayor who worked tirelessly for his community and subsequently became even better-known through his daughter, internationally-acclaimed actress Lucy Lawless.
There was also Gerald's twin Kevin, the legendary criminal lawyer, who became a Queen's Counsel in 1998 and died at the age of 77 in 2008. He appeared in more than 100 murder trials, most famously acting for Arthur Allan Thomas.
Gerald, born in Westport, developed a deep love for rugby league, racing and law. Indeed, in 2011 he was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his contribution to rugby league, racing and the community. He also became a New Zealand Rugby League life member in 2006.
Quirkiness and exuberance were among the traits that stood out in a man who was more than dogged in fighting for New Zealand rugby league's cause during his term as NZRL chairman from 1997-2001. It could be said he had a tendency to speak his mind first and consider the consequences later, which made for some raised eyebrows, gasps and certainly some juicy quotes for media people.
One of his best quips was given a fresh airing in the obituary published on the NZRL's website.
As fate would have it, his chairmanship coincided with troubled times for the game in New Zealand (troubled times and rugby league tend to go together more often than not). Ryan's challenge was to oversee the code when the Super League-aligned NZRL was at odds with the establishment in the shape of the Australian Rugby League, and then to guide the game out of the troubled waters after the code came back together.
It was also a period when the NZRL had a shareholding in the Warriors, with Ryan serving as chairman of both the Auckland Rugby League and the Auckland Warriors as various stages.
One of his special passions was crusading for the rugby league cause in universities. He had been playing rugby union at club level in Auckland in the 1950s when he became a rebel by switching to rugby league.
"There was a lot of controversy about switching to league at the time," he said.
"In fact, when we first turned out we were banned for life but when my brothers played for University (in rugby league), they used different names because they were also playing senior rugby union at the same time.
Ryan's interest in and dedication to rugby league in universities was rewarded when New Zealand caused a huge upset by winning the University Rugby League World Cup in Brisbane in 2005.
Details of his funeral are yet to be confirmed.

#4 documenta and its Double: Emy Roeder's 'Die Schwangere'. Lecture by Liza Weber
E v

t s
From the documenta archiv #4
Thursday, February 8, 2018, 7 pm
Venue: Gießhaus on the area of the university, Mönchebergstraße 5, 34127 Kassel
Address of Welcome: Dr. Birgit Jooss, director of the documenta archiv
A collaboration with the documenta professor at the Kunsthochschule Kassel.
The lecture will be in English.

Emy Roeder, Die Schwangere, 1919, Wood, 82 (H) cm, Inventory Number: docA, MS, d1, 10001713
In her illustrated lecture Liza Weber will test the well-worn hypothesis of the first documenta exhibition of 1955 as a rehabilitation of modern art once deemed "degenerate" under the National Socialist regime. Combining provenance research and oral history, her talk will trace both the trajectory and living memory of modernism in Germany throughout the twentieth, and indeed twenty-first, century. Her case study of 'Die Schwangere' will be presented in the form of a short documentary-film, which captures at once a paper trail and a people trail, hoping to lift provenance from its obscurity at the bottom of exhibition captions and into the light of the public eye.
Liza Weber is a PhD student at the Centre for German-Jewish Studies, University of Sussex, where she was awarded the 'Alfred Bader Scholarship in Modern Jewish History and Culture'.


The controversial app has returned.
The app stirring up cyberbullying concerns among Livingston County educators and parents has returned to the Apple App Store after developers complied with new demands, according to reports.
After School "undermines" and "sabotages" efforts to educate students on leaving a good digital footprint, said Pinckney Community Schools Superintendent Rick Todd. The key concern, he said, is that hurtful posts to its message boards could be made anonymously.
The app was unavailable early Thursday from the Apple App Store, prompting initial praise from school officials who had requested that Apple remove it, but it seems that victory was claimed too soon.
The app was temporarily removed from the App Store after After School resubmitted the app Tuesday, but approvals weren't made by the time Apple's deadline arrived, Levy told Re/code. It reappeared Thursday evening.
Todd called the changes "ridiculous," given its target audience is high school students, in a districtwide email sent to parents Friday.
Pinckney, Howell Public Schools and Hartland Consolidated Schools blocked the app from school networks. Yet it doesn't prevent students from downloading its content, which includes sexually explicit videos, through their own cellphone service providers.
Todd said in the email he's hopeful Apple will permanently remove the app.
"The only factor we can truly control is our own decision making and oversight of our children and their technology usage," he said.
The free app is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch operating systems of iOS 6.0 or later. It's described as an "anonymous and private message board for your school," and it's accessed through Facebook accounts associated with schools.
It's prompted an FBI investigation in Flushing, after a student posted "Bringing a Gun to School" on the Flushing High School message board.

To check the fuel injection systems and reduce the toxicity of exhausts, it is necessary to use digital universal instrumentation, since they have greater measurement accuracy and greater internal loop resistance.
Handheld scanners are the most convenient and versatile devices for testing engine management systems on models of later years of production.
The electronic control unit has a built-in On Board Diagnosis (OBD) system, which serves to troubleshoot the system and turns on the engine warning light on the dashboard in the event of a malfunction. The fault code is stored in the memory of the electronic control unit and is available for reading.
To read the fault codes stored in the memory of the electronic control unit, connect the STI and GND terminals of the diagnostic connection socket.
Connect the voltmeter to the STO terminal and the vehicle's "mass". Turn the ignition on and calculate the number of deviations from the arrow of the instrument or the flashing of the engine warning light. For example, code 34 will be displayed as 3 long flashing lights, pause, 4 short flashes.
To clear the fault codes, disconnect the negative battery cable and depress the brake pedal for longer than 5 seconds.
The connector is located under the dashboard on the driver's side.
Models since 1996 of release have system of self-diagnostics of second generation OBD-II. Access to the electronic control unit of this system can be obtained only with a special scanner, which must be connected to the 16-pin diagnostic connector of the connection located under the instrument panel. If a malfunction is detected, the electronic control unit turns on the warning light on the dashboard and stores the malfunction code in the memory.
To read the OBD-II system trouble codes, use a special scanner, which must be connected to the diagnostic connector of the connection. If there is no scanner, please contact a specialist.

Fritz Kalkbrenner
It's no secret that Fritz Kalkbrenner is a full-fledged soul boy. But with a voice like his, how could things have turned out any other way? Soul music is the foundation of all his musical endeavours. And like an emotional and aesthetic thread that he weaves through his music, soul, in fact, holds together his diverse musical influences such as hip hop, techno and house.
Growing up in the shadow of real socialist prefab buildings in the Lichtenberg district of Berlin, Fritz Kalkbrenner was a couple of years shy of being able to participate directly in the anarchic techno mayhem that followed right after the fall of the Berlin Wall, when new possibilities and freedoms opened up in East Berlin within a short period of time.
At the beginning of the 1990s his older brother Paul and his best friend Sascha Funke went crazy for techno beats, while hip hop artists such as Eric B. & Rakim, KRS One and Wu-Tang Clan were Fritz's heroes who could do no wrong. He studied their flow, memorised hundreds of lyrics and learned how to tell stories – all basic research that would later benefit him.
At the end of the 1990s (in 1997, to be exact) he, too, was blown away by techno and turned into a devotee of the clubbing scene as did many others of his generation. Legendary clubs in Berlin such as WMF, Tresor and Suicide Circus became his haunts for doing a new kind of research. Partying feverishly, Fritz decided to start making music himself. One thing he knew for sure – his voice would be featured on the tracks.
With the release of Forms & Shapes in 2003, a plaintive piece appearing on Sascha Funke's debut album Bravo, his very first step as a singer immediately landed him a veritable club hit. Further collaborations followed with artists such as Alexander Kowalski, DJ Zky and Monika Kruse, but he never stopped honing his skills as a producer – on equipment that once belonged to his brother Paul. And soon, Fritz was ready for a live show.
In the autumn of 2008 the song Sky and Sand appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Berlin Calling, the first project Fritz and Paul worked on together. It made the charts, and both Fritz and his voice gained international recognition. Not only was his first solo production practically in the bag, but he also found likeminded individuals in the heads of the Suol music label, Chopstick and Johnjon, hip hop aficionados who immediately recognised Fritz's artistic potential. The three of them quickly agree to start working on a maxi single and then go on to make a first album.
With the 2010 release of his debut album Here Today Gone Tomorrow, Fritz no longer stands in his brother's shadow, but is celebrated for a soul sound is all his own. Something akin to Balearic guitar riffs meet rave tracks and warm house beats hover over a cinematic and melancholic sound.
In October 2012 Fritz Kalkbrenner released his second album "Sick Travellin" on Suol. Produced in the new Suol Studios in Berlin-Kreuzberg, the thirteen album tracks reflect a development towards rather organic and mature music, or, to be specific: more vocals, more Rhodes, Bass and Guitar parts played in by studio musicians, more grainy, 'breathing' samples, briefly: more Suol. The album makes it up to number 6 in the German album charts. The following tour, on which he sings live for the first time, takes him all around the whole globe.
Despite his fully packed tour calendar, Fritz always manages to keep working on sketches for new tracks. When he begins to work on his third album "Ways Over Water" (release 2014), he has raw material for two long players. Together with Suol label heads Chopstick and Johnjon he filters out the best tunes, which then are being fully produced. The result is an album, which sounds even rounder and more mature than its predecessors. In 2016 he released « Grand Départ » including the hit single « In This Game » and in 2018 he went back to the roots with his album « Drown » that's his first club album.

Since 1995, Java has changed our world . . . and our expectations..
Today, with technology such a part of our daily lives, we take it for granted that we can be connected and access applications and content anywhere, anytime. Because of Java, we expect digital devices to be smarter, more functional, and way more entertaining.
In the early 90s, extending the power of network computing to the activities of everyday life was a radical vision. In 1991, a small group of Sun engineers called the "Green Team" believed that the next wave in computing was the union of digital consumer devices and computers. Led by James Gosling, the team worked around the clock and created the programming language that would revolutionize our world – Java.
The Green Team demonstrated their new language with an interactive, handheld home-entertainment controller that was originally targeted at the digital cable television industry. Unfortunately, the concept was much too advanced for the them at the time. But it was just right for the Internet, which was just starting to take off. In 1995, the team announced that the Netscape Navigator Internet browser would incorporate Java technology.

Home / Figure Skating News / Hicks turns heads with winning performance at U.S. Nationals
Hicks turns heads with winning performance at U.S. Nationals
By Elvin Walker
Photo © Jay Adeff
Courtney Hicks won the junior ladies title by a landslide at the 2011 AT&T U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
The question on everyone's mind is this: Can Courtney Hicks be the skater that we've all been waiting for? No disrespect to the USA's crop of senior ladies who have achieved quite a lot in their days, however, this is a country that produces champions on the world and Olympic level, and no U.S. lady has medaled on the world level since 2006.
Coach John Nicks calls Hicks the most athletic skater that he has ever coached. His latest prodigy captured the junior ladies title in Greensboro on Wednesday night with the highest total of any junior ladies champion since the code of points has been introduced. Hicks scored 173.22 points, nearly twenty points more than the silver medalist.
"That was my best skate of the year," Hicks gushed proudly after the competition. "That was the best program clean-wise that I have ever done."
Hicks opened with what is becoming a signature move for her- a triple flip-triple toe loop combination for which she received a whopping 10.40 points. In all, she received full credit for four others, and even earned positive grades of execution on each one.
"It was really exciting to get the triple-triple clean, and then get the Lutz, too," the champion said. "Winning is really awesome because I have been trying for a really long time to get first place at nationals, so it is nice to finally make that happen."
Hicks's Malaguena program was not without mistake, however, leaving points on the table on both of her triple Lutz attempts. Neither Lutz was landed with a correct edge for which Hicks received an edge call from the Technical Specialist, and on the second, she fell.
"Unfortunately I fell on the last jump, but that's okay because everything else was good," Hicks shared. "I was really excited because I did everything else in the program, and then I forgot to do a step to get on the right pattern so I fell."
The new champion finished in fifth place last season at the U.S. Championships on the novice level, but despite her inexperience, Hicks believes that she can handle the impending pressure of such a strong competition.
"I think that I will be able to handle the pressure well because I have a good coach who has been through a lot of this before," she said with maturity. "Also, I think I will be able to keep training and work the same as always."
Nicks thinks that his student's success was inevitable, remarking about how strong a competitor Hicks has become.
"She doesn't let the nerves get to her," Nicks explained. "She is very prepared, and as well all know, it is the prepared skater who we see at the end of the competition with the medal around her neck."
The runner up in the competition was fourteen-year-old Lauren Dinh, a skater who failed to even advance past the regional championships on the novice level last season.
"Since last year, my jump content has changed," Dinh shared. "I tried to make my choreography more appropriate for a junior lady."
Dinh opened her Danse Macabre program with a fall on a triple loop attempt, but then landed five triple jumps of her own including two triple Lutzes. Her score of 153.99 points would have won the title in most seasons, underscoring the high level of skating in this competition.
"I made one mistake in the beginning, but I tried to put that behind me because everything counts," said a wise Dinh. "I told myself to let it go because there is more to do and accomplish. The program didn't really come naturally for me at first, so I really had to work on the character of it."
Finishing in third place, fourteen-year-old Katarina Kulgeyko, started off her Nightmare Before Christmas program rather peculiarly when she skated through an intended triple flip.
"I really tried to emphasize the choreography and interpretation today," Kulgeyko said in the post-event press conference. "I think that I recovered really well from the first flip that I didn't quite do, and everything went well after that, so I feel quite satisfied."
Kulgeyko, known just as much for her sassy sense of humor as for her skating, recovered well from the mistake by immediately nailing a double axel-triple toe loop combination. In total, the bronze medalist was credited with four triple jumps, and earned a competition total of 146.62 points.
"There is no secret to my success here," Kulgeyko replied when asked about her track record of qualifying for the U.S. Championships for the past four seasons. "I just have the determination and drive to keep trying to be on top."
McKinzie Daniels, the flaxen-haired sixteen-year-old, finished in fourth place with 138.59 points, earning the first national medal of her young career.
"I'm happy with the result this season," Daniels admitted. "It means a lot because I really wanted to be on the podium."
Like Kulgeyko, Daniels also landed four triple jumps including a double Axel-triple toe loop in her Spartacus program.
"I felt really confident in the warm up, and did everything that I needed to," Daniels explained. "Then when I competed, I did a nice axel-toe. I kind of let my focus go a little bit and fell on my Lutz. I'm glad that I was able to continue on and skate well because I have struggled with that in the past."
Mary Beth Marley slipped from fourth place after the short program to fifth overall. Marley had a difficult skate, falling twice, and making small errors on several other jumps. She finished sixth in the freeskate, and earned a total of 137.82 points. Marley will compete Thursday in the senior pairs short program with partner Rockne Brubaker in her national pairs debut.
Another pairs skater, fifteen-year-old Ashley Cain, moved up from seventh to finish in sixth place in the competition. Cain landed four clean triple jumps, earning 137.44 points overall, following up her first place performance in the junior pairs competition earlier in the day.
Twelve-year-old Polina Edmonds finished in seventh place, while local girl Haley Dunne finished in eighth.

AudioWings Digital Archive Published
Over the last 20 or more years, AWSRG members have contributed recordings and articles to our journal, AudioWings.
The journals and accompanying CDs have been published (usually) biannually, and collectively contain a treasure trove of wildlife recordings and research, from this country and further afield.
Previously editions have been mailed out to financial members as they were produced, with limited back issues available. Now, all editions, from No.1 to the latest, No.42, are available online, for listening or digital download. This is the first time they've all been available together.
Collating the entire archive has involved members pooling their personal collections ("I'm missing the first six CDs, and who's got the journal of Vol.8 No.1?"). My thanks to Tony, Jeff and Bob for their assistance in this, and to all past journal and CD editors, Fred, Bill, Sue, Tony and Vicki particularly.
While digitising CDs, entering track details and creating cover artwork, I've been aware that these recordings represent the history of the group. Past and departed members and their research interests are presented, often along with their spoken commentary, a poignant reminder for those who remember them personally.
Our AudioWings digital archive is hosted on Bandcamp, click here to view and listen. Each CD edition is available either to stream, or purchase and download, as a complete album or per track. Each download edition includes its corresponding journal in PDF format, plus recordist and equipment information.
We hope that having the complete AudioWings archive publicly available will boost the profile of the AWSRG and its history of participation and research.
Current financial members may download any editions for free. The member's section of this site contains details of how to access free codes to enable this.
A partial index for the audio archive is also available via the member's section. We're currently updating it to a complete index of all recordings.


I am about to realize that we will not get to the bottom of ditch 7. After a deposition of faunal remains, stones and pottery, a layer with pottery fragments in connection. After that, more faunal remains. A never ending story.
And here is the section in the new ditch 13: V shape.


THE GAMBLER (2014) starring Mark Wahlberg, Jessica Lange, and John Goodman is a remake of James Toback's film THE GAMBLER (1974) starring James Caan – modeled after Fyodor Dostoevsky's 1866 novella also titled THE GAMBLER, originally penned to pay off Dostoevsky's real life gambling debts. With such a rich history behind this highly anticipated movie, I was disappointed to witness such a disjointed storyline. This is a movie that'll leave audiences scratching their head and wondering exactly what was the point of Wahlberg's journey?
English literature professor Jim Bennett has a pension for high-stakes gambling in the underground world of no-limit casinos. When he racks up debts to multiple loan sharks totalling over a quarter of a million dollars, Bennett finds himself scrambling to pay off his makers. With his life on the line, the professor by day and gambler by night desperately attempts to raise the cash before the seven day deadline – aware that his life has now been offered as the ultimate collateral.
Having dropped 61lbs just to play the gambler, Wahlberg reported this was the hardest role he'd ever prepared for and would never drop that kind of weight for a part again. Deeper than the character's esthetics, THE GAMBLER leaves us asking why? Why is our main character's desperation to risk everything such a powerfully controlling facet of his personality? Why is this highly educated, silver-spooned individual on such a destructive path? This movie leaves us shaking our heads and repeatedly asking why.
John Goodman as the saggy and wizened loan shark, and Jessica Lange as the pinched and pulled mother figure almost manage to steal the show. Although their roles are definitely supporting, their outstanding performances still overshadow Wahlberg's muddled character. Directed by Rupert Wayatt, 111 Minutes, Rated-R, Mystery, Drama, Thriller, ** 2 stars out of 5.


Rockie helped us out and did a great job explaining everything to us as we were first time homebuyers. I would recommend her to anyone and have already to my friends! We were 110% satisfied!
Rockie you were extremely accessible. I was often surprised to hear from you very early or late at night. I never felt steered or pressured. The house I got is the one I wanted. You did great! I couldn't ask for more.
You were above and beyond our expectations. I would recommend anyone else….a joy to work with. The personalized Powerpage of listings was very helpful.
Buying your first home can be scary but Rockie made the process so easy and not stressful at all! She ways always on top of things and walked me step by step through the entire process. She always kept me up to date with everything. She is the best realtor and I highly recommend her!
When I first met Rockie she was my Landlord! I moved into the home that she and her husband had just moved out of. I knew from my experience living there over several years that she was a wonderful person. So, when it was time for me to buy a home it was a no brainier. It was my first time and and it was smooth sailing all the way! You can't go wrong with Rockie!


Our training protocol includes a complete dietary program based upon the latest research. If your diet is not right, you will NOT be happy. Plain and simple.
In some cases we may need to make metabolic adjustments for your diet to work. For example, its very common (especially women) for thyroid lab values to be "normal" when, in fact, they are not. What do we mean? In short, the normal range for TSH is rather wide, and often times "synthroid", the standard treatment is somewhat or totally ineffective. There are other options which are often more effective such as "Cytomel" or T3, which happens to be the real "locomotive" behind metabolic rate. We work closely with several physicians who can usually prescribe the correct type and amount of thyroid hormone (assuming your doctor is unwilling). Work with an Exercise Physiologist for maximum weight loss.
After metabolism/hormonal issues are corrected and diet is in place, its time to start training. This piece is key to success. It's called accountability. In addition, you have to like coming to see your trainer! If you don't, your odds of success drop. Therefore, we attempt to make every session informative, funny, and unlike your average dental visit lol.

I'm working on compiling the Official Errata for the MC Core Rulebook. If you've found any typos, grammar or other errors - please post them here and I'll add them to the log. Please add the page and paragraph if possible.
If you're asking for rules clarifications, please post as a new topic.
One Response Action per character per round, which costs one Dark Symmetry Point. This applies to NPCs as well, though the DSP cost is paid out of the GM's pool rather than into it.
All Momentum spends must make narrative sense first and foremost - that is, if there's a conflict between what makes sense for the story and what the rules allow, the story wins. every single time. So, rendering someone unconscious with a gunshot wound is harder to justify than with a blunt object.
Unconsciousness shouldn't last long (in the real world, if you're knocked out for longer than a couple of minutes, it's often indicative of serious head trauma). The simplest route is to apply the Perplexed status effect (MC3 rulebook, p137 - target gets a test each turn to shake the effect off, or they lose all their actions), but use Resistance tests instead of Willpower tests. The character also falls prone - increasing the difficulty of ranged attacks at Medium or longer range by one, but reducing the difficulty of melee attacks and ranged attacks at Close range by one (which may remove the need for a test). They're also a viable target to Coup de Grace actions.
Wonderful thank you. I was hoping for something like that.
Hello again! I have two questions about dicepools.
2) Can you use DSPs and CPs on the same roll?
Individual sources come with their own limits, but beyond that, there's no upper limit on the number of d20s rolled. If, for example, a character using an Improved M89 with the Smooth Reload talent can spend up to four Reloads (3 for Automatic, +1 for the talent), which would allow up +4d20, but that doesn't prevent +3d20 from DSP, or any other sources of bonus d20s.
Firstly, does an Iconic career have to be your last career? I didn't see an answer to Doc-T's question back on November 04.
Secondly, can you repeat an Iconic career? the 'Fired' entry on page 57 implies you can (as it mentions repeating Iconic careers), but it's unclear. If so, what is the Life Point cost?
Firstly, does an Iconic career have to be your last career?
No, it cannot be your first career though.
Secondly, can you repeat an Iconic career?
You mean extend, yes you can. You receive only another career event and no other benefits, so there is no cost for it.
I have seen the term "repeat" in careers but with no explanation for it.
Repeating a career would be taking the same career for multiple phases. You cannot repeat an Iconic career, though you can extend it.
Cheers, thank you for the quick response.
About the career change limitations (page 37): If you enter an Iconic Career in your second or third career phase and then take another career phase by paying Life Points, do you have to return to the Primary Career chosen in the phase before the Iconic Career, or can you enter a new one?
Example: A character enters Hussar career in the first phase and then the Homebuilder Iconic Career. If you take a third phase, is he obliged to enter the Hussar career again or could he become a Farmer/Frontiersman instead?
About the Hussar Primary Career (page 41): In this career, you get only 10 Attribute bonuses instead of 11 like in every other career. If this is an error, I'd like to know which Attribute is improved further.
The simple bit first - the Hussar should get +2 to Physique instead of +1. I've asked this to be corrected in the book.
Career limitations for Bauhaus. Broadly, yes, you have to stick to the same primary career (remember, the order in which you took your career phases mechanically does not necessarily represent the order they occurred in the character's life - you can rearrange them as necessary). However, the GM is free (and encouraged) to permit deviations from this if they make sense - your example is a perfectly reasonable and logical progression of career.
One general question: When you get fired from a Primary Career which is marked with an * in a faction source book, can you join a different career from that primary career table, like becoming a Wolfbairn after being fired from the Trenchers?
I suggest that it should be up to the GM to allow it if it makes sense.
Becoming a Private Investigator after being fired as a Capitolian Beat Cop would make sense, for example, as you are now working on your own.
Yes - it's a different career, even if they're categorised together (that's more an organisational thing, so they all fit on the table). However, the GM should veto any career change that doesn't make sense - if two careers are connected to the same organisation, it may not be plausible to enter one if you've been fired from the other (a dishonourable discharge from the military might hinder getting into some other military careers, but it might also open some doors that might otherwise be closed).
But in other places (p.70, p.118) it is stated that character has 2-4 CP and his CP pool refreshes to its starting value each session. Is information on p.119 erroneous? Should that also be "its starting value" instead of "three Chronicle Points"?
Yes, p119 is in error here - your starting Chronicle Points each session is determined during character creation, rather than just being 3.

Every year, thousands of people from all over the world, each one driven by her or his own motivation, with their own means, take the routes leading to the Spanish town of Santiago de Compostela.
It is a unique experience, the memory of which inspired the realization of this poster, conceived with a functional, one-of-a-kind approach. Featuring the complex network of routes leading to the Jacobian town, it contains plenty of details on the various routes, pilgrim types, their motivations, the periods and towns of departure.
In the hope that it will stir the same, intense emotions that fueled its creation, this artwork is meant to be a reminder to accomplished pilgrims, an inspiration to those who wish to return and an encouragement to whoever intends to make the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela for the first time.
The natural disposition of radially converging routes inspired the representation of the Iberian Peninsula as a shell, symbol par excellence of the pilgrims. The various routes and their respective stages are congruently depicted in linear form, maintaining the geographic proportions.
The shell displays 11 primary and 41 secondary routes, including information on their lengths and, in some cases, the distance to Santiago, as some ways do not lead there directly, but are connected to and succeeded by others.
The most primary routes include information on overall and departure town affluences, the stages, route variations and the main promontories; whereas secondary routes comprise the most important towns and cities along the way, as well as those in which routes intersect.
Outside the shell, pilgrims are classified according to gender, age, motivation, the means they use, their affluence throughout the year and their nations of origin including, in case of Spain, also the autonomous communities.
The routes keep evolving, but this artwork features the most popular ones.
Shipments to Europe, United States and Canada.

1st problems come from home through their parents. Because Philippines are composed of a 99% poverty rate country, it wounds our heart when a certain parent says "your organization is changing youth's attitude. What can it do to take us out from poverty . . .? NO! Our son/daughter will work to help us out of this misery or go abroad to help us live a richer life." Point is this youth instead of helping their self to a preparation for their future they will look back and someday realized that when future comes they will be the same as their parent inherits poverty. This parental attitude makes the youth stop and resorting to an early labor, juvenile delinquency, prohibited drug addiction and prostitution.
Some organizations are working to cure these problems of the youth.
But we at KABATAANG DIYUNA COMPREHENSIVE YOUTH ORGANIZATION we are trained and searching for the root cause of the problem 1st then prevent it because prevention is better than cure.
2nd problem comes from Superiority; youth are looking up to the superiority of their parents, teacher, older siblings and other people older than them. This behavior shows that youth are thirst of unity that drives them to go with friend's, Barkada's, group of youth but more of these youth affiliates their selves to a certain group of youth are a wrong kind of youth groups like Gangs, rubbers, doing delinquency, prostitutions or Drug addicts.
These two problems are just some of the problems we are working out to fight for and making techniques theoretically and practically to pull out the youth to these problems, because we know all the youth are victims, they are the Future of our Nation but a victim of today.
Thanks. How do you engage communities in this process?

Raising funds and improving lives
Posted by Kaia Vincent
Category: Charity, News
We believe that it's vital for local businesses to support important charity and community activity, so it was a great honour to receive a letter recently from Melanie Moughton, Chief Executive of Felix Fund. She kindly wrote to thank everyone at CTS Group for our support with the recent Felix Festival in Silchester. CTS was the main sponsor and we were incredibly proud to be involved.
Organised entirely by volunteers, the Felix Festival has been going from strength to strength since 2015 and features live bands, DJs, great food & drink, and camping. It's a fantastic event in aid of a very worthwhile cause, the Felix Fund. This registered charity supports military personnel who have conducted or assisted with bomb disposal duties, and their families. One current area of focus is funding therapeutic normalisation breaks to help bomb disposal teams re-adjust to life in the UK after serving in Afghanistan.
The funds raised are already being used in various ways to improve the lives of people affected by their bomb disposal work, including contributions towards expenses for an ex-Sapper who needs to travel to Australia for pioneering surgery to enable him to walk with prosthetics. He lost both legs in Afghanistan and has been house bound, confined to a wheelchair. Other beneficiaries include a former serving soldier who has been given funding towards a replacement stair lift to enable him to remain in his own home.
"Events like this can never be put on without help," Melanie Moughton says of the festival. "Following on from 2015's event, this was again an amazing evening and everyone seemed to have a very enjoyable time. The event raised over £19K and all proceeds will be put to good use helping serving soldiers, veterans and their dependants from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) & Search community across the British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.
"Many thanks again for your support – it is very much appreciated".
Thanks to the Felix Fund for allowing us to be a part of such a special cause.

Hi guys, this is a mid tempo Jazz tune "a la Lionel Hampton", hope you all like it, Comments welcome as always.
You are doing a wonderful composition here !
Very nice Mike. You've captured Lionel's "happy" sounding vibes perfectly. I could almost see him standing there grinning as he played. He was a consummate musician, and you've got him nailed in this tune.
a really cool Melodist track. Good mix.
Thank you all guys, I'm glad you all liked it. Thanks for the kind comments. More to come!
Love the vibes (cool) but the trumpet confuses me a little. Nice production. Cheers.
I love the sound of vibes, well done on this thanks for sharing!
Vibes are cool.... I used them a bunch back in my early days with BB and in bossa type tunes.
Lionel Hampton is one of our faves fro many years. He used to be on the old Steve Allen TV show quite often, back in the early 60's. The two of them would jam and it was wonderful. A lot of folks don't know what a great jazz pianist Steve Allen was ... and wrote over 8,000 songs!
Thanks for this one Mike. Now this is exactly how I will learn how to accomplish better music with BIAB & RB. I have stuff rattling around in my head that is just waiting to get out. Thanks for the great example and info on how you dood it!
I'm a big fan of Lionel Hampton and you did him justice on this one.
