Injuries are becoming a major cause of mortality and morbidity in less developed countries. The relative contribution of injuries to disability adjusted life years is expected to rise from 15% in 1990 to 20% in 2020 with the largest increase expected to occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Most studies on the incidence of injuries are based on health facility data. Self reported data obtained through community based surveys play an important part in the study of injury morbidity in less developed countries due to incompleteness and low utilisation of health facilities. However, one major limitation of such studies is recall bias.
A number of studies have investigated the effect of recall period on the estimates of injury rates for non-occupational and occupational injuries. A study in the United States examined the effect of recall in estimating injury rates among children and adolescents with a reference period of 12 months. The largest declines in injury rates were observed for the 0–4 year old children and for minor injuries. Similarly, Mock et al investigated the effect of recall bias on annual injury rates in a household survey in Ghana. They found a remarkable decline in injury rates from a one month recall to a 12 month recall, which was influenced by severity of injury but not by age, gender, and locality. A population based study in Brazil compared retrospective and prospective data collection methods among preschool children. Use of diaries prospectively resulted in five times as many injuries reported than the recall method, particularly for injuries not requiring medical care. In the United States, injury rates for farmers were compared using two months', 12 months', and 10 years' recall. The results showed that a recall period of more than two months was likely to underestimate injury rates. Most of the studies on effect of recall on injury rates have been conducted in developed countries. A review of literature produced only one study from sub-Saharan Africa on time effects in recall of injuries.
In this paper, we investigate the effect of recall on estimates of annual injury rates as an initial step in analysing data from a survey that measured injury morbidity in an urban and a rural location of Tanzania. The effects of recall are also examined for various subpopulations and by severity of injury.


NVT was a British motorcycle manufacturer from 1972 to 1978, formed by the British Government.
Triumph had been owned by the BSA Group since 1951, but by 1972 the merged BSA-Triumph group was in serious financial trouble. British Government policy at the time was to save strategic industries with taxpayers' money. They decided to bail out the company, provided that to compete with the Japanese it merged with financially troubled Norton Villiers, a subsidiary of British engineering conglomerate Manganese Bronze.
The merged company was created in 1973. As BSA was both a failed company and a solely British-known brand (the company's products had always been most successfully marketed in North America under the Triumph brand), the new conglomerate was called Norton Villiers Triumph.
NVT inherited four motorcycle factories—Small Heath (ex-BSA); Andover and Wolverhampton (Norton); and Meriden (Triumph). Still short of development cash, the company was restricted to launching developments of existing products, most notably around the popular Norton Commando. With its classical parallel twin probably by now overdeveloped, from March 1973 the Roadster, Hi Rider, and the Interstate all began to use a new 828 cc engine. Later NVT also produced the Easy Rider moped including a "sixteener" version with a Morini engine and pedals, and the NVT Rambler 125/175 cc with Yamaha engines.
NVT was eventually liquidated in 1978. Even though Norton Villiers Triumph is no more, motorcycles bearing the Triumph name are still being made; the marketing rights to Triumph were sold to the Meriden workers' co-operative in 1977 and in 1983, sold on to a new Triumph Motorcycles Ltd company situated in Hinckley, Leicestershire.
NVT Easy Rider specs: tires 2.25 – 17, engine Morini MO-1 (model ER) or MO-2 (model ER2), weight 110 lbs, total length 66.5″, mono-tube frame gas tank 0.95 gallon, gas tank vent button behind seat, sprockets 12 x 28T.
NVT Easy Rider components: Domino 1970's controls, chrome (stainless) levers, all cables single-ended, Grimeca hubs, 90mm brakes, 11mm axles, Lucas (England) tail light, CEV "bullet" headlight, CEV round chrome switches, brake light switches in parallel, normally open when installed.
Some US models have "small" Bosch magneto, dark grey colored flywheel, with internal ignition ground, and a third source coil powering the brake light.
Some US models have a Dansi 101286 magneto, gold colored flywheel, with an internal ignition ground. The lighting coil is split into two outputs, so it looks like two source coils but it is actually three.
Towards the end of 1977 NVT announced the securing of export orders to the USA of 1,000 Easy Rider mopeds per month. Export market American mopeds were mainly sold as either NVT Easy Rider or, from August 1977, as Scorpion SC1 (step-through frame, single-speed auto), SC2 (step-through frame, two-speed auto), and SC-2X Scrambler models (sports styled, two-speed auto). Frame plates indicated these machines as 'Manufactured by Scorpion Inc. Crosby, Minnesota', a snowmobile manufacturer established from 1959, who marketed the mopeds as a product diversification.
So before August 1977 they were sold as NVT, and after that they were re-branded as Scorpion.
In England NVT also sold top tank mopeds ER2L, ER2P (Morini MO-2), ER2SS, ER4L, ER4TL (Morini MO-4 manual shift).
The Scorpion ID plate says "manufactured by Scorpion Inc, Crosby Minnesota USA" but the bike is identical to an NVT made in England. It was made in England but re-branded in Minnesota.
SC1: The Scorpion SC1 had a Morini MO-1 engine, made in Italy, re-branded and labeled as a Cuyana engine. Weight 102 lbs.
SC2: The Scorpion SC2 had a Morini MO-2 engine, also called Cuyana. Scorpion wanted to hide the true identity of the frame and engine. Weight 105 lbs.
SC2X: The Scorpion SC2X had a Morini MO-2 engine, a top-mount horizontal gas tank, and a long two-person seat with a storage compartment. Weight 113 lbs.
Scorpion mopeds were imported by Scorpion, Inc. Box 300B, Crosby Minnesota USA.
Specs and Equipment: tires 2.25-17, fuel mixture 40:1, CEV sealed beam headlight, Lucas tail/stop lamp, steering lock, mirror, luggage rack, speedometer/odometer, Dellorto carburetor with automatic releasing choke.

[2009 LengLin] Zhang Xiaogang
Zhang Xiaogang
For artists who have been living in China for the past decades, the development and change of the society brought to them an enormous impact. From the end of the 1980s to the beginning of the 1990s, Chinese society experienced a tremendous transformation in various aspects during this period of time. Moreover, such transformation has a long and lasting effect on the formation of Chinese contemporary art. Observing the development of contemporary art in China, artists in general produced a shared powerless and depressive feeling since the beginning of the 90s with the Reform and Opening Up policy and the speedy changes it brought to the society. This is due to artists' change of identities in China. Artists were dropped from being the spokespersons of societal values during the 80s to the predicament of having to defend the right of their own existences in society. This identity transformation resulted in these artists' urgent need to truly examine their own inner problems as well as their relationships with the surrounding environments. These artists began to abandon the pursuit of idealism in reality, and began going after a form of self-salvation and self-manifestation. It's a shift from expressing the concepts of a developing modernized country and its major culture in the society to portraying a perceptual form of one's own existence.
Artist Zhang Xiaogang arisen from such environment. He was born in 1958. After graduating from high school in 1976, he then participated in the "Down to the Countryside Movement". Then he got accepted to the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 1977, the first year after the resumption of college entrance examination. And Zhang has been actively creating in China since graduation from the academy in 1982. During the 1980s, modernization and leveling Chinese society to its contemporaries were the most urgent tasks. The entire nation was liberated from the state of isolation and restriction, and China was eager to blend into the world, and to join the overall 80s voiced desire with the rest of the world. Chinese society as a whole was in a desire to learn from the West modern culture, as well as in the process of enabling its own culture to become modernized and contemporary. Meanwhile, these artists developed their artistic creations with scholastic mind-set. This motivation to learn from the West was not only displayed in the acceptance of formalism related to the western modern and contemporary art, but also shown in the acceptance and visualization of western philosophical concepts. In such atmosphere, Zhang hungrily absorbs the western artistic thinking and styles, and carries these materials out with artistic expressions. He combines materials from Mysticism in religion with expressionistic painting style, and shapes a kind of spiritual understanding that is beyond realism. Earlier work such as "Interest –bearing Interest of Love", fully exemplifies a notion of transcendental implication and spiritual intension. At the time, Zhang attempts to maintain a rather secretive communication with the modern day world through this spiritual quest, even though such communication is very private, reserved to oneself and impossible for exchange. These art works no doubt contain traces of western culture and thinking, using art as a kind of very personal and secretive medium for spiritual exchange. This state merely lasted for a few years, for the artist has the chance to visit Europe for the first time in 1993. When he stood in front of the original masterpieces, which he had only been able to admire through reproductions previously, Zhang suddenly realized that he could have never been, and will never become those artists he had studied. He truly felt his own being, his culture as well as existing problems in his life and reality. He recounts on the incident: "What we have been doing with painting seems to be more like reciting school lessons from memory. That means we did not experience life in its most realistic form. Our lives are not artistic, while the west is artistic. For instance, when you want to paint in landscape, you would immediately read up on the Russian landscape artists, and then devour the European landscape artists' works. And the same reciting method would be applied to portraits. This conceptual transformation occurred in 1993."
In 1993, the first "Chinese face" appeared in Zhang's paintings, a "face" that is full of life and hidden in the artist's own culture. It is the residue of one's culture after several decades, which firmly secures in one's presence. To China, life in the past decades under this super fast speed of its development is colorful and surreal. However, this is also the artist's own personal experience. Zhang realizes he is willing to live more honestly in the reality of his past experiences, and these realities are impossible to ignore and escape. This is self-discovery; meanwhile it's also a conscious formation of one's personal culture. In the 80s, Chinese artists through learning went through a process of modernization and leveling with their contemporaries. Different from the 80s, artists in the 90s went through a transformation where through self-awareness, self-discovery and the modeling of one's personal culture a new content is being inserted into modern or contemporary art. And this new substance could enrich modern or contemporary art. Zhang began the creation of the "Big Family" series through a "Chinese face". He presents the inner changes of another kind of culture through his observation of family. In his "Big Family" series, we could see how each individual is connected, their existing similarities are being emphasized a lot more than their differences in comparison. The artist depicts the nature of an individual's inheritance as well as one's link with history through the use of birthmarks, scars and bloodlines on his subject's facial appearance. In Zhang's paintings, a person is not a mere individual; he is an individual within a society or family, who possesses a strong hereditary trait or code from society. Furthermore, the artist's personal experiences are the foundation for such societal code or hereditary gene. Zhang received the so called orthodox socialistic education. He experienced life in the countryside during the "Down to the Countryside Movement". His personal experience has always been in the process of transformation, and all along in the transformation of socialistic ideology. Yet when an individual is being rediscovered as oneself, the socialistic ideology and the ambiguity as well as contradiction one feels toward socialism will be on display. And "Big Family" is exactly an expression of such ambiguous feeling. It's a discovery of one's inner personal transformation, along with the vague and historical aspects of such transformation. And the notion of being contemporary is the process of the unceasing defining and survey of oneself. In "Big Family", the figures in these images rarely exhibit individuality, they all seems to have a neutral face. They share just as much similarities as differences. But the socialistic emotion or sentiment demonstrably emerge from the costumes and coloration of these figures. "Big Family" is the birth or start out point of "oneself", as well as the returning place for "oneself". "Big Family" uses marriage and blood relation as a natural basis for societal unit, which in general include parents, husband and wife, son and daughter among other relatives. Artist establishes the discovery of oneself on the natural societal unit of family, in attempt to display the social characteristics surrounding oneself through his own personal experience of it. You could believe that this notion of oneself has to do with the practice of a special state of socialism, or it could also be related to the Confucius tradition. One's warmth, one's history, one's social characteristics, one's belonging are always just a kind of character and attribute of oneself.
Starting from 2002, Zhang began to enter the portrayal of objects related to people from the previous mere portrayal of people. These objects are all related to recording and reading, for instance, appeared in series such as "In-Out", "Amnesia and Memory" and "Green Wall". Paintings of these series portray objects such as ink bottle, light, pen, television set, sofa, notebooks and books. And these art works are investigations of memory and amnesia. At times, the artist would directly record language onto the surface of the painting. This is a kind of memory process, at the same time also a kind of amnesia process. The artist feels amnesia is sometimes more important than memory, for history requires constant revisions. Zhang is absorbed in his own history; he attempts to construct a kind of self-required emotion and culture through history. This is an anew requirement of oneself produced in the rapid development and blend of contemporary cultures. Through intense consciousness of vestige, Zhang amplifies this nature of oneself. He goes from portrayals of members of a family to depictions of mundane household wares, and then to landscapes from memory and experience. In these non-figurative sceneries and objects, human touches can be seen everywhere. All the sceneries have been altered by society, and made functionalized. The depictions of ink bottle, notebook, and desk are a kind of historical modeling with memory. These objects bear the weight of the functions of one's spirit in the desire to tell, to exchange and to express through reading, writing and letter writing. Yet, these functions would only be applied with a strong sense of spirituality in a society when its communication is underdeveloped. As for the present day society, these functions are without a doubt very precious and human-like. And for Zhang to express through such personal and intimate perspective is just about a warmth in humanity that have not been seen for a long time. Through the portrayals of family to the sceneries surrounding a family, the artist presents a unique modern culture, which associates the intimacy of oneself to history, memory and ideology. It's precisely due to this culture that we are given the opportunity to establish a new kind of dimensional understanding on the basis of the modern day culture.
In his photography works, Zhang converts creating itself into a process of leaving behind vestige. Image is a world in which enables individuals to connect, and the action of writing immediately becomes the display of such connection. The artist reconnects reading and form. And through such connection, the heritage of "reading" traditional Chinese ink paintings seems to be once again activated. Zhang's art, similar to this tradition, exists as a vestige in today's world.

Fodor's Expert Review Dorotheum
Vienna Antiques & Collectibles Fodor's Choice
The Dorotheum was the first imperial auction house, established in 1707 by Emperor Josef I as a pawnshop. Occupying the former site of the Dorothy Convent (hence the name), it has built up a grand reputation over the years. If you're looking for something truly special—an 18th-century oil portrait or a real fur, a Rococo mirror or a fine silk fan, a china figurine or sterling-silver spoon, an old map of the Austrian Empire or even a stuffed parrot—the best place to try and find it is Dorotheum, Vienna's fabled auction house. Have you ever wanted to see how the Austrian aristocracy once lived, how their sumptuous homes were once furnished? Well, don't bother with a museum—you can inspect their antique furnishings, displayed as if in use, for free, and without the eagle eyes of sales personnel following your every move.

The neo-Baroque building was completed in 1901 and deserves a walk-through (you can enter from Spiegelgasse and exit on Dorotheergasse) just to have a look, even if you only admire the gorgeous stuccoed walls and palatial interiors, or peek into the glass-roofed patio stocked with early-20th-century glass, furniture, and art. With more than 600 auctions a year, this has become one of the busiest auction houses in Europe. There are auctions held frequently throughout the week, though not Saturday, and it's closed entirely Sunday. And if you don't fancy bidding for something, there are sale areas on the ground and second floors where loads of stuff can simply be bought off the floor.

Parupalli Kashyap Retires Mid-Game After Chirag-Satwik Win In Thailand Open
By IANS On Jan 13, 2021 0
Pic Courtesy: The Free Press journal
Bangkok: Indian shuttler Parupalli Kashyap on Wednesday made an exit from the ongoing Thailand Open after he retired in the third game of his first-round clash against Canada's Anthony Ho-Shue.
After losing the first game 9-21, Kashyap made a comeback in the second game to clinch it 21-13. The third set saw Ho-Shue lead 14-8, but the Indian shuttler decided to retire and as a result, the Canadian progressed to the second round.
Earlier in the day, the mixed doubles pair of Sumeeth Reddy and Sikki Reddy bowed out after losing 22-20, 21-17 to Tang Chun Man and Tse Ying Suet in their first round clash.
In men's doubles, the Indian pair of MR Arjun and Dhruv Kapila narrowly lost their opening round contest 21-13, 8-21, 22-24 to Malaysian pair of Ong Yew Sin and Teo Ee.
However, the star pair of Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy fought back to beat their South Korean opponents Kim Gi Jung and Lee Yong Dae 19-21, 21-16, 21-14 in a match that lasted one hours and eight minutes and entered the second round of the tournament.
On Tuesday, in a dramatic turn of events, Saina Nehwal, Kashyap, and HS Prannoy were cleared to compete in the Super 1000 badminton tournament, just hours after they were forced to withdraw from the event. Saina and Prannoy had been forced to withdraw from the tournament after they tested positive for Covid-19 . Kashyap, husband of Saina, also had to withdraw as he was sharing a room with his wife Saina and was asked to self-quarantine.

Michigan St shuts out Michigan in OT, beats Wolverines 76-66
Michigan State's Denzel Valentine, left, shoots a 3-pointer against Michigan's Zak Irvin (21) during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game, Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015, in East Lansing, Mich. (AP Photo/Al Goldis)
PUBLISHED: February 1, 2015 at 6:25 p.m. | UPDATED: June 17, 2021 at 7:31 a.m.
EAST LANSING (AP) – Denzel Valentine's shooting touch returned just in time to help Michigan State avoid an upset against its biggest rival.
Valentine had 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, and the Spartans held Michigan scoreless in overtime, outlasting the Wolverines 76-66 on Sunday. Michigan State recovered from a poor start offensively and allowed only two Michigan baskets over the last 10 minutes of the game.

"It got scary, but at the end of the day, it's a rivalry game," Valentine said. "A lot of people thought it was going to be easy."
With two of their best players on crutches, the Wolverines (13-9, 6-4 Big Ten) pushed Michigan State throughout, but the Spartans (15-7, 6-3) finally put Michigan away in the extra session. Branden Dawson had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Bryn Forbes and Matt Costello scored 10 points each for Michigan State.
Spike Albrecht and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman scored 18 points apiece for Michigan, which was without injured guards Caris LeVert and Derrick Walton. Zak Irvin added 11 points for the Wolverines.
LeVert is out for the season with a foot injury, and Walton has been dealing with a toe problem that apparently isn't going away anytime soon.
"We don't anticipate him being back for a while," Michigan coach John Beilein said. "We don't have a definite date yet but it won't be in the foreseeable future."
Michigan State shot 29 percent in the first half and 71 percent in the second.
Valentine was coming off a 2-for-13 showing in a win at Rutgers. He was shooting only 29 percent from 3-point range in league play before connecting four times from beyond the arc in the first half.
"Denzel worked on it hard just like I knew he would," Spartans coach Tom Izzo said. "His shooting doesn't bother me because I know how hard he works at it, and I know it'll come back."
Valentine did miss one big free throw – the front end of a one-and-one with 31 seconds left and Michigan State up two. Max Bielfeldt tied it at 66 on a tip-in with 20 seconds remaining, and Travis Trice missed a 3-pointer in the final seconds for the Spartans.
Michigan: Irvin was 5 of 14 from the field. He's shooting 34 percent in Big Ten play.
Michigan State: Trice had nine assists, one more than the whole Michigan team.
Michigan took a 61-57 lead with 5:06 remaining on a three-point play by Aubrey Dawkins, but the Spartans didn't allow another point until the final minute of regulation. By then, Michigan State was up by five, but a 3-pointer by Albrecht and Bielfeldt's tip-in forced overtime.
That was all the scoring for Michigan. The Wolverines missed all five of their field goal attempts in overtime, four of which came from 3-point range. Valentine started the extra session with a layup. Costello added the next four Michigan State points and later blocked a shot from beyond the arc by Irvin.
FOUL TROUBLE
Abdur-Rahkman, a freshman who was averaging 2.3 points per game, was in the starting lineup and scored seven in the first half, although he picked up two fouls and played only nine minutes before halftime. Albrecht also had two fouls in the first half.
The Wolverines have been getting by lately using some unusual lineup combinations, and that continued in the first half Sunday. Guard Andrew Dakich, who had played only 14 minutes all season, played 13 in the first half.
Despite Michigan's injury problems, the crowd that came to the Breslin Center in the middle of a snowstorm was treated to quite a game – there were 21 lead changes and nine ties before the Spartans pulled away in overtime.
Michigan hosts Iowa on Thursday night.
Michigan State hosts Illinois on Saturday.

The Secret Scotland
Scotland is the home of inventors and poets, heroes and whisky, bold clans and highlands, lochs and wild islands, and majestic cities that have survived and thrived throughout time. But, listen . . . There are also deep underground pools and caves. Standing stones left by the illusive Picts. 50,000 puffins tucked in one place. Wild cattle with shaggy red fur that dare you to spot them. Secret castle gardens and botanical amazements. Brilliant lighthouses rising up from a sea, rippling with the current of whales. Imagine that, and feel the wonder.

The overall lead in the 2014 Mint 400 desert race changed multiple times over the course of the event, but Andy "Bebo" McMillin and co-driver Brady Thompson triumphed in Steve Sourapas' #6 Ford powered Trophy Truck after a sixth-place start.
Race organizers reported record registration numbers this year, making the 2014 Mint 400 the biggest under its current management.
McMillin took home $10,000 from FOX, $10,000 from NFL player and Mint 400 racer DeMarcus Ware, $10,000 from Ford, and another $10,000 from the Best in the Desert "Trick Truck Challenge." It's good to be on top!
"Last year The Mint 400 became the biggest off-road desert race event on the planet. This year we went even bigger. We had the largest group of world-class off-road racers, including the largest Unlimited Trick Truck group in the history of the sport. We sold out our spectating areas before the Unlimited race started on Saturday, which has never happened before."
Competing vehicles took over the Las Vegas strip before the lights went green, bringing plenty of local attention to the event. But Mint organizers are even more excited that their race has been wrapped in to the Red Bull "Signature Series" on network TV. Even if we have to wait until summer for the broadcast, it's a huge boost for the visibility of off-road racing. Let's hope it fuels more action!
"There is no doubt that the Mint 400 is now the most visible desert off-road race worldwide. In fact I think it's safe to say our reach is only second to Dakar..." said Mint 400 COO Joshua Martelli.
It was reported elsewhere that Jeff and Terri Kary in the #1981 Yamaha Rhino won the ultra-fast, mini Trophy-Truck looking "SR1" UTV class, but race officials did not award any competitors a time in that class. More on this when organizers get back to us.
Complete results list can be found on The Mint's website.

Paul Jones
Paul Jones - a male celebrity - born on Tuesday February 24th 1942, in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, UK,.
Paul Jones holds great compassion and seeks to be of service to others. He is a healer, and capable of giving comfort to those in need - he will frequently offer a shoulder for others to cry on. But actually, Paul's mission in life is to develop the tools that allow him to be truly helpful to others rather than just a sympathetic ear. Paul Jones must find the balance between help and interference, and the delicate art of the counselor who knows when to leave the struggle to others and when to avoid taking away the necessary experiences and lessons of life.
It is in Jones' nature to take on responsibility, to fill the void left by others, and to not turn away from personal sacrifice, albeit at times, he may feel overburdened by the travails of others. However, the love others bestow upon him is his well deserved reward.
Paul seeks marriage and is often a wonderful parent, offering warmth, protection, and understanding to children. However, he must be careful not to choose partners for the wrong reasons, and to not let sentimentality influence his decision, especially those involving the choice of a spouse. Paul Jones needs to be needed, but must learn to discriminate between those he can help and others who are made weaker by his care. After all, it is in Paul's nature to be attracted to the weaker brothers and sisters among us. The temptation for Jones is to think of himself as the savior of the world, carrying the burdens of others on his shoulders.
Paul Jones is blessed with musical talent, as well as in the visual and performing arts, and can be successful in a number of artistic fields - even when experiencing inability to fully recognize his own talents. He also has enormous talent in business, and his great deal of charm and charisma can be used effectively to attract the people and support he needs. More...
More flavors to Paul's personality
Paul Jones tends to be quite adaptable, and he finds it easy to fit into most social set ups and vocational fields.
There are no particular virtues that can cause an imbalance in Paul's personality and life, but he has to work hard and persistently to develop those special strengths that he desires to attain.
Learning to be wisely assertive is a major lesson to be taken by Paul Jones throughout his life.
Tour Paul's menu and gain more insight into his personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.
July 18th 2019 is a day of changing priorities for Paul Jones. This state of mind may also cause him to go through loss of friendship, painful as it may be.
Paul should look at today as a day of karmic healing, exercise letting go, forgiveness, tolerance, and compassion.
Wise and emotional that he is makes today a perfect day for Jones to invest in humanitarian causes.

Starting 4 April 2019, these services will be offered by Google Ireland Limited instead of Google Payment Limited. Following this transition, you'll still be able to see all your past transactions at pay.google.com and Google Ireland Limited will take over processing your payments and information in accordance with the new terms of service.
One of many companies moving services over to Ireland.
@E92_335i yeah, I got one of those too; I've never used Google payments, so I thought it was spam! Maybe remoaner propaganda!
The DUP has criticised the latest initiative by British Prime Minister Theresa May, accusing her sub-contracting out the future of Brexit to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
It sounds like one of those weird compliments to me!
Nigel says it's a treaty, not a deal.
Basel III was agreed upon by the members of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in November 2010, and was scheduled to be introduced from 2013 until 2015; however, implementation was extended repeatedly to 31 March 2019 and then again until 1 January 2022.
The deselection campaign is particularly malign, much like the tactics Momentum use.
Anyway, the chaos continues. Passing the extension bill by 1 vote makes it ripe for filibuster. IIRC, it has to pass the House of Lords and then Committee; where any amendments made have to be re-debated in the House of Commons and then voted on.
Talks on a possible compromise Brexit deal are to continue tomorrow after a meeting between British Prime Minister Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn, which the Labour leader described as "useful but inconclusive".
Any guess as to what if anything Maybyn can come up with?
Then you would have to assume that was a political pretence. A subterfuge, dressed to kill.
Britain stood ready with a £3.2 billion emergency loan when Ireland faced bankruptcy after the financial crash. Indeed, we have agreed to go to the back of the queue of creditors, behind the IMF, when it comes to repayment.
Er, no. Britain offered a loan at a decent, but below market at the time, rate. In part because UK banks were also being saved by the Irish bailout (contagion effects of a disorderly Irish bank wind-down would have hit London first). Ireland has tried to repay the British loans first, since they're high interest relative to the rest of the debt; this has been refused with the full term (and interest demanded).
So let's rephrase the narrative, despite bankrupting itself to save British banks operating in a reckless fashion with near no regulation in London (as the BoE has admitted), Ireland has been abandoned by a myopic Britain that sees party politics as more important that good neighbourliness. Plus ca change!
The faded post-imperial power limping from crisis to crisis. Maybe I should put it in the irexit thread?
Interesting video, clearly shows that some EU Eurosceptic parties are worried that when the UK leaves, their positions will be weakened and the French (& southern EU countries) will become the main leading countries.
Eurosceptic's in Europe appear to need the UK to remain to ensure their presence is sufficiently large enough to have any influence in the EU parliament.
Frightening level of ignorance at so many stages right there.

Want to see an uptick in your seafood sales? Invest in the display cases.
You already have an impactful product marketing vehicle right under your nose.
And it's the supermarket seafood department display case.
"The seafood display case can have a significant impact on seafood department sales," said Chuck Anderson, vice president and partner with Certified Quality Foods, a Dallas-based analyzer of seafood quality, and the former vice president of seafood procurement for Quincy, Mass.-based Ahold USA, and the former category manager for seafood at San Antonio-based H-E-B. "A well-merchandised case sells product, and seafood shoppers buy with their eyes."
How do you do that? Start by triggering shoppers' tendencies toward impulse purchases, which Anderson said begins with an eye-catching display.
"Fresh seafood has so many great colors and textures to merchandise, and the right case also protects seafood while enticing the customer to take a closer look," he said.
Choose a case that maintains product temperature and moisture while spotlighting seafood's vibrant colors and textures, Anderson said. "The first consideration is always product quality," he said. "The second is how the case highlights and merchandises selections."
Seafood cases also must be large enough to attractively display a wide range of selections, without having the excessive space which often entices retailers to situate products that go unsold, resulting in shrink.
"The case must be the proper size for a seafood department's sales volumes," he said. That includes having the appropriate capacity for spotlighting products during high-traffic weekends when more seafood inventory is in the case, as well as for lower-volume weekdays, Anderson said.
In addition, designs should enable department associates to both easily situate products and access all the inner areas for proper washing and sanitizing, he said. "The seafood case interior surfaces must be food grade and non-porous," Anderson said, adding that the stainless-steel design also should be high grade. "Saltwater draining from fish can cause corrosion in lower grades," he said. "Poor sanitation of cases is one of the leading causes of fishy odors in the seafood department."
Another key consideration is whether to leverage open- or closed-air cases. It's typically simpler to arrange seafood in open-air designs and to keep the cabinet and products clean and orderly, Anderson said, which results in a more visually appealing appearance. Open-air displays also can better support the merchandising of seafood on ice, which conveys a stronger image of freshness, he said.
Yet, open-air designs frequently require more cleaning and retailers are more apt to overload the case with product, which can cause the surface temperatures of the seafood to exceed 40 degrees and result in dryer fish with a shorter shelf life.
Closed-air refrigerated cases can offer more precise temperature control, which will enable fresh products, such as fish fillets, to stay cold and moist longer, he said. The closed design also better protects products from dust and insects and is available in a wider variety of layouts while creating a more upscale, polished impression, Anderson said.
Regardless of the design, all case displays should result in a dramatic product appearance, he said.
"Alternating colors and textures make seafood stand out and are attractive to customers," Anderson said. "Large displays of high-volume products, such as salmon and shrimp, and popular impulse items, including crab and lobster tails, drive sales when aggressively and attractively merchandised in the case."
Lighting should be cool or natural white to mimic daylight and be bright enough to illuminate fish without creating excess heat or shadows. Anderson added, however, that retailers should avoid lighting that highlights any single color, and particularly red.
"Lighting with lots of red spectrum will make salmon and tuna look great but will make white fish appear unnatural and off color," he said.
Retailers can further enhance interest and better showcase seafood by ensuring that the signage within the case, including product descriptors and price tags, does not conceal the seafood, Anderson said. Angling fish toward the customer also can add intrigue, he said.
The use of specific designs also will often vary in accordance with the products being merchandised, Anderson said. That includes the use of typically smaller self-service case for such items as seafood soups, salads, dips, smoked fish, and ready-to-eat grab-and-go products.
Operators must remember, however, that "the product should always be the star of the display," he said, and that such elements as ice and signage should be secondary "and almost go unnoticed."

TOP STORY: Army Corps Approves $117M in Flood Funding
posted by WMT News / KCRG-TV9 - Jul 6, 2018
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG-TV9) - The Army Corps of Engineers announced today it will approve $117 million in funding for flood protection, more than 10 years after the 2008 flood.
The city has already started work on its $550 million plan to protect downtown and the west side of the river, including the Sinclair Levee and Cedar Rapids Amphitheater. It had previously pledged city money and millions from the state.
City Manager Pomeranz and Mayor Hart give much of the credit to Senator Joni Ernst, who has been an outspoken champion for Cedar Rapids' in Washington DC but thanked many others for pushing leaders in Washington, D.C.
"The announcement of this federal funding award to Cedar Rapids marks a milestone in the City's long history of pursuing permanent flood control," said Jeff Pomeranz, Cedar Rapids City Manager. "This award is federal recognition and acknowledgement that Cedar Rapids' project is viable, has been planned, and is ready to implement to protect citizens and property."
"We are incredibly grateful for the work of those who have come before us in the pursuit of this funding," said Brad Hart, Cedar Rapids Mayor. "This truly has been a team effort, with multiple people working hard to advocate for the long term protection of Cedar Rapids."
The total project cost estimate for the complete Flood Control System is $750 million. The State of Iowa has committed to contributing $284 million — 35% of the total cost. Federal and City contributions are also a critical part of the overall funding plan. The City will match $110 million, with $10 million already invested. City leaders are currently developing ideas to determine a funding source for the City's commitment as well as additional funding gaps necessary to construct the entire system.
Moving forward, the City will continue to work closely with the US Army Corps of Engineers to establish a Project Partnership Agreement, which will guide construction of next segments.
SEN. JONI ERNST STATEMENT:"Over the past ten years, the City of Cedar Rapids has worked tirelessly to develop and advance this project which will protect its residents and businesses from future flooding events. Hundreds of millions of state and local dollars have already been committed, but what has been missing is this critical federal share of the project.
"In addition to efforts by the city and state governments, for years, I have pushed the Corps to review its flawed benefit-cost ratio (BCR) metrics, which disadvantage projects in rural states, and find a way to fund projects like this. I am proud to see our combined efforts pay off today—this funding will not only protect the city, but also give businesses the certainty they need to confidently invest in the Cedar Rapids community."
*EDITOR'S NOTE: A previous version noted the cost of flood protection at $550 million. That is based on today's cost. The city estimates the work will take 20 years, which would increase the cost to $750 million due primarily to inflation.


Nine rooms, starting at $85 with a shared bath.
Beyond promoting its status as "World's First Kickstarter-Funded Hotel," the Jennings is an unusual hotel. The formerly dilapidated two-story brick building has a colorful history as a boardinghouse, a tattoo parlor and, if legend is to be believed, a brothel. And it is now the ambitious passion project of Greg Hennes, an artist who first came across the property in Joseph in 2010. It took "almost four years of looking, dreaming and planning before I got my life to the place where I believed I could actually pull it off," said Mr. Hennes, who had been based in Portland. Having raised $107,000 through crowdfunding, Mr. Hennes turned to his friends — a stable of well-known artists, architects and designers — for the hotel's creative vision. The hotel's first remodeled room was ready for guests in 2015. Four additional rooms are set to roll out by Memorial Day 2018.
On the main street of Joseph (population: about 1,000), six hours east of Portland, the hotel is in the heart of the "Alps of Oregon," with a view of the dramatic, pine-covered Wallowa Mountains and Joseph's attractive, sculpture-adorned downtown.
Each room is the work of a single designer, including some big names like Brendon Farrell, who is responsible for the unique look of Portland's popular Löyly Spa and the Scandinavian-inspired Room 7 at the Jennings.
Spacious, light-filled Room 2 was designed by the Portland architect Ashley Tackett with a mix of white walls, exposed brick and roughly finished light wood floors accented with area rugs and animal skins. It had an unconventional configuration, with both a queen-sized bed and a twin in the entrance alcove. The living area had a black velour couch, a desk equipped with a sturdy, marble-based lamp and a back door that opened onto the hotel's wide porch, where there was a small bistro-style table. Idiosyncratic touches included a large format photograph of a cowgirl in a leopard print shirt, and a coffee table with secret hatches that opened to reveal two carefully selected books of poetry: "Mountain Echoes" by Jim Whilt and "American Primitive" by Mary Oliver.
The shared bath area had three rooms: a changing room with a shelf of charcoal gray and white Turkish towels and heatproof, break-proof black rubber water cups, a Scandinavian-style cedar sauna with a squat wooden bucket and ladle for pouring water onto the hot stones, and a bathroom with black and white octagonal tiles and a rain shower. Sauna instructions are scrawled artfully on the bath's sliding wooden door.
In keeping with its unconventional style, the Jennings has no lobby. Instead, it has an airy common room with a large wooden dining table, a well-equipped communal kitchen and a library that includes Audubon guides to local foliage alongside works by Don DeLillo and Henry David Thoreau, a Ouija board and a record player. The hotel offers free Wi-Fi, though it was a bit spotty during my stay.
Though the Jennings doesn't offer room service, guests can prepare meals in the shared kitchen.
With an in-house residency for artists, a new nonprofit school for traditional crafts and cooking (called The Prairie Mountain Folk School) and renovation work underway on the remaining five rooms (even as guests occupy the existing rooms), the hotel is a work in progress — the next best thing to staying in an artist's studio.

Veritas Vincit: Not enough people are paying attention!
Not enough people are paying attention!
Just got back from the Bernie Sanders - William Black and (tag a long) Peter Welch - forum at Montpelier High School.
He says it is common knowledge and measurable that altruism or altruistic tendency decreases with increased levels of education, specifically with MBA and beyond. He said it almost as if they signal out those that have that level of education as potential white collar criminals.
Anyway Black does have some revealing information...I do my fair share of looking around and getting first hand info and some of the things he was saying were clearly saying that our entire financial system - systemically - is corrupt, from the bottom to the top. This may or may not be news to you but I think you will find it interesting to watch the video I posted to the lower right of this. It's Black on with Bill Moyers.
As far as the event went tonight - The message I got was that we're essentially fucked. All these guys kept saying was that the levels of corruption were high, that the entire system was corrupt, that there needs to be an investigation, that we need to know names and how we got into this mess.
The buzz words for the night were "NATIONALIZATION" and "RECEIVERSHIP". It was clear that both Bernie and Black were in agreement on one or the other and although it wasn't Welch's show, he was just tagging along, his actions speak clearly to where he stands. Many in the crowd brought up the "need" to nationalize and most of the applause was saved for those who spoke of it and spoke of Capitalism being broken.
One of the common points throughout the night was that there must be more transparency, more justice. Black made an interesting point that greed has been around forever, that it's not greed that is the root of the problem but that we've let all regulation lapse. And that regulation and justice are the ideas behind making greed less profitable than honesty. That's how it's supposed to work, he said. Through regulation and efficient and blind justice it would cost too much to cheat thus disabling the seeming Capitalist dilemma. Black said it was PROVEN that without these aspects, regulation and justice, greed and bad habits will push out everything else and that that's what happened here.
I will be writing more on this - there is so much to write - so much - and we are all going on with our daily lives while our borders are being locked down, while our future ability to fight is being dismantled.
Not enough people are paying attention.

In 2001, their sophomore effort Bowl of Surreal was released on the band�s own Furry Sidekick Recordings in the U.S. and on Philter Records in Japan. The band wowed crowds at many an International Pop Overthrow festival in Los Angeles as well as Poptopia, an early version of IPO.
Over the next six years, Brian wrote songs for Modulations, the long-awaited third album. He enlisted the talents of several friends, engineers, co-producers and musicians, including drummer, guitarist and vocalist Nelson Bragg of Brian�s Wilson�s touring band and co-production, engineering and mixing from Steve Refling, who produced Bragg�s Day Into Night CD.

Bath Spa University (BA Fine Art , 2012)
My work investigates the concept of cultures, in particular my struggle between two contrasting societies, one being my origins in Pakistan and the Western society. By looking at these cultures I am able to transfer my own knowledge of these cultures into my paintings on canvas. I start of by using solid colours which originate from traditional Asian clothing; I do this by making my own paint from raw pigments and also using screen-printing, which originate from East Asia, this way of work the colours used give the work a richness of colour that I am trying to portraying in my work. Then later I add the Western elements to the work by looking at the way the Westerns make their paintings, such as stretching their work on a stretcher; I add additional elements to the work, still coming from the western society such as pen, which is applied on top of the canvas, and also using dyed fabric that is later on stretched onto the stretcher.
The designs I use are originally from an ancient technique called Mehndi (is an Urdu meaning for 'henna'). Mehndi is a temporary tattoo that is applied on as a paste onto the hand and feet, it is mostly common to do decorative designs on the bride's hands and feet before her wedding day. Mehndi originally came from a plant which is grinded down until it becomes into powder. Sometime oil or water is used to make it into a paste, which in some cases is put into a cone, which is an easier way to apply the Mehndi onto the hand. The paste can last for a couple of days or weeks, depending on how strong the pastes are. The designs came in a variety of forms such as in Pakistani and Indian society the most common forms used is the teardrops.
The reason why I apply these two different tools and technique onto the canvas is because I want to introduce this relationship between these two very different cultures. By using these different techniques and tools I am able to show my struggles between these two very different societies.

will it be the pizza or the sushi for you, ma'am?!
if you know anything and me and the husband, you'll know that we are quite different. i'm a "let's try to please everyone" kind of person while the husband is more of a "let's do what's good for us" kind of guy. you want to eat dinner at 8:30 instead of 7? that's cool by me. might not be my first choice, but i don't care. i like to eat. doesn't matter when. you want to see the new Brad Pitt instead of the new Indie? that's cool by me. again, not my first choice, but i don't care. It's just for me, at the end of the day, i'm happy to be with my friends. i'd rather not speak up and go with the flow. it's how i am, it's how i'll always be.
now, i'll tell you right up front that neither one of these ways is ideal. there has to be some sort of balance between always compromising and not compromising at all. we just haven't found it yet.
this morning i took Emily to the husband's cousin's bat mitzvah party. it was all-girls' pizza and scrapbooking party. a far cry from the dinner-and-dance-catered-with-a-band bat-mitzvah that my Emily will likely have, but it was nice. and Emily had a blast. tonight we are planning to hang out with our friends (another 2 couples in that friends-for-life category) and they called to say they were serving pizza. now, my husband, who was looking out for me, and who had the best intentions, asked if there were any other choices, since i had said i would prefer not to have pizza for the second meal in a row.
now, i don't know if i should have, since sometimes i get angry inappropriately.
but i was upset because if anyone had asked me, i would have said that pizza was fine. yes, not my first choice, not by a long shot. but, if it was going to make everyone else in the equation happy, i was certainly more than willing to go along with it. not my first choice…but i like pizza….i'm sure i would enjoy it.
so, i said, not-so-politely, that if they now changed their minds for me and ordered something else, i would be really upset. putting the husband in a catch-22. he's damned if he does and he's damned if he doesn't. i just don't like the idea that if this was the plan…that they changed it for me. "oh…we have to have sushi because of Ali". "Ali didn't want pizza so we are stuck paying an arm and a leg for sushi…and i don't even like sushi". see…these are the reactions i don't want. there are 5 other people eating…why should they change their plans for me?
am i completely and totally off my rocker…or are there other people out there who can commiserate with me??
now the husband's upset with me. he's all huffy and non-verbal…which is his fighting style. mine, my friends, is not. i don't stop talking when i'm mad at him, i start yelling (a curse that i inherited from my mother) and i was to fight it out. not ignore each other and act like babies.
also…my kid is obsessed with blackberries. she is constantly on the phone "hi Noah!" the bow is there just because i got it to stay. i didn't go as far as Anna and use Karo syrup to make it stick…but i'm getting quite annoyed with people who think she's a boy. especially when she wears all pink.
I am like you. I will go with the majority to avoid rocking the boat. I am also like you in the way I argue. I don't ignore…I try to talk. When that doesn't work, I yell. Does it solve anything? Not usually. But, I work off a boatload of steam AND take a moronic satisfaction knowing I shattered his ear drums!!
Phew…if you ever shaved your head, I'd know you were absolutely certifiably insane. I mean, Brit has weaves, so, it might be good to start over…. But, not you. I can't stop thinking about pizza now…. Mmmmm….I hope you're not sleeping on the couch tonight….
Let's hope he starts talking. My ex was a nonverbal fighter, I'd get so mad…start yelling for him to talk and asking if someone cut off his tongue! And PLEASE, don't cut off the hair!
Well, I am not a go with the flower, but I am not a have to have it my way person either. If you asked my family they would probably say that I am the latter. I just state my opinion. I would have done the same thing as you though. I'll back you up girl!
Awkward. I hope it works out….
We are just too much alike. 🙂 I hate for anyone to change their plans for me. I will pretty much go along with anything, if it suits everyone else. On the other hand if Spence knows I don't like something, he will just come out and say "mandi doesn't like that" which makes me feel like a total tool. I yell too and want to talk about everything. Get it all out. Spence will just walk away or say he has nothing to say…which I hate.
Whether or not I assert myself depends on who I'm with. There's no rhyme or reason to my choices, it's just the way I am.
To make it worse I'm a libra. I constantly ride the fence.
You are NOT off your rocker. I sooooooooo get this. I am the exact same way. You could have lived with pizza but I would have been mortified if someone spoke on my behalf and caused someone else to make special stuff when it wasn't a big deal. I so get this.
He was just looking out for you. But I understand about the 'going with the flow'. Why make 5 people eat something else when you were the only one who didn't want pizza but didn't care?
Did you wind up eating pizza?
I hope you work it out!
I'm just like you. I'd rather the majority be happy than have everyone change for me. But then again, I don't like having attention thrown upon myself, so maybe that's part of the problem too.
I love that big fat bow! Ha! Gorj. 😉 And, yeah, that was SO cool of your friends….
Hmm, I'm more of the "I want it my way" sometimes and then "let's compromise" the other times. I think it depends on the situation.
Sushi sounds so good right about now! But not for another year or so. Boo hoo for me!
Oh she reminds me of my friends daughter…she is so taken with my pink Razr phone that she has foresaken calling me "Di" and now greets me with "phone"! If I don't respond, she questions, "Toby?" looking for my dog!
People thought that I was a boy with my ears pierced and wearing a pink dress so my mom says. People are just ignorant I think. She DEF. looks like a girl even withOUT the bow.
I'm glad things resolved nicely – my husband is the opposite of yours and never stands up for me (he's shy), which makes me mad sometimes.
That drives me nuts when people see my completely pink-clad, dress-wearing toddler out and they PRESUME SHE'S A BOY.
