The B.C. Supreme Court applies the Brakes to the Director of Civil Forfeiture
By Peter J. Roberts, QC on December 16, 2011
Posted in Civil Forfeiture
B.C.'s Civil Forfeiture Office, still a relatively new entity, is becoming more aggressive in its approach to seeking forfeiture of what it sees as illicitly acquired assets or property that is being used for an unlawful purpose. In September 2011, the Director of Civil Forfeiture seized five "high-end sports cars" for allegedly street racing. In October 2011, the Director seized a helicopter apparently used in the drug trade. In November 2011, Kim Bolan reported the forfeiture of a modified Chevy Suburban belonging to James Raich, said to be a member of the Independent Soldier gang. Mr. Raich tried to oppose the forfeiture but, after an unsuccessful attempt to preclude the introduction of evidence from Provincial Court criminal proceedings, caved in and reached a settlement with the Director.
More often than not, the Director's claims are undefended. In 2009, the Director concluded 59 cases without trial resulting in $5.6 million being forfeited. Since inception, the Director has obtained forfeiture of over more than $22 million in assets and cash. This lack of opposition to forfeiture claims likely has many causes. Sometimes there is just no defence. However, it is often because the owner fears of adverse media scrutiny, lacks funds to defend, or figures the value of the asset is not worth the risk and cost of litigation. In such cases, the forfeiture sought may be unfair, improper or unjust, but nothing is done to prevent it.
However, the B.C. Supreme Court recently put a road block in the Director's path in uncontested forfeiture cases. In British Columbia (Director of Civil Forfeiture) v. Kingdon, the court considered three cases in which the Director sought forfeiture by default. The cases involved land allegedly used as a grow-op and two motor vehicles used in "dial-a-dope" schemes, along with cash found in them. In each case, the Director sought desk orders of forfeiture from the court registry because the claims were undefended. The failure to defend, the Director said, meant that the allegations in the claim were deemed to be admitted. As a result, there was no need to actually prove either the "unlawful activity" giving rise to the forfeiture or the value of the assets being forfeited.
Rather arrogantly, the Director took the position that it was "entitled to default judgements" and that the court had no jurisdiction to direct a hearing. The desk orders requested had to be issued. The Court disagreed, reasoning that it had an independent role in controlling its own processes and in ensuring substantive compliance with the provisions of the Civil Forfeiture Act. A court order of forfeiture is a judicial act, not an administrative or bureaucratic one. Because there is the possibility of a defence as to the amount the Director is entitled to claim in every forfeiture case, the matter cannot be dealt with by desk order. If nothing else, there is always an argument that there should be relief from forfeiture. That question can only be decided by having the court consider issues of proportionality and fairness in each case. That alone made default by desk order inappropriate in most forfeiture cases.
The Court went on to reject the Director's submission that desk order applications could not be referred for a substantive hearing. Though several reasons were given, the most salient was that preventing the court from ordering a full hearing would "effectively constitute in camera disposition of controversial without notice applications and deny other potentially interested parties and the legal profession as a whole knowledge about how such issues have been decided."
The Civil Forfeiture Act provides draconian powers and legal remedies to the Director of Civil Forfeiture. To date it has been a runaway success in recovering funds and forfeiting assets. This is often because the proceedings are undefended. There is a risk that such a one-sided regime will be abused. The Court in Kingdon evidently thought so and made it known that the courts in B.C. will be keeping a watchful eye over forfeiture claims to prevent unfairness and injustice.

Susan Heavey
Susan Heavey, a journalist who covered health care regulation and policy before focusing on the intersection of health, poverty and demographics, will lead AHCJ's core topic on social determinants and disparities in health.
Her goal is to provide AHCJ members the resources they need to cover the root causes of health care gaps by writing blog posts, tip sheets, articles and other material.
While on the beat at Reuters, she wrote about everything from brain stimulation and clot-grabbing snake-like devices to drug safety and biosimilars. She also helped cover Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. Her work has appeared on reuters.com, been picked up by The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNBC and other outlets, and led news websites for Yahoo! and Google. She also previously wrote about health for washingtonpost.com and KidsHealth.
Based in Washington, D.C., Heavey was a 2013 fellow at the Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT and previously with the National Institutes of Health/Dartmouth University "Medicine in the Media" program and the now-shuttered Knight Center for Specialized Journalism at the University of Maryland. She has also worked as an adjunct professor at American University's School of Communications.
She will write tip sheets and background briefs, ask other journalists to share their experiences and she will curate lists of resources for journalists. Her blog posts for Covering Health will recognize important reporting on social determinants in health care and offer journalists insights into how disparities can affect many of the health issues we write about.
While there are hundreds of health and health care-related topics covered in news and feature stories every day, the Association of Health Care Journalists believes there is a core set of topics that today's health journalists will need to master to cover the beat well.
Healthjournalism.org is home to thousands of pages of information, data and brilliant story examples. In an effort to curate this information into a curriculum of sorts for fellow journalists, we launched a Core Topic effort using "topic champions" – lead editors – from our membership to shape this material into practical guidance in covering stories on those topics.
Each specialty topic page includes glossaries, key concepts, reporting tip sheets, weekly blog items, first-person stories by fellow journalists, videos, data and more. Each topic home page serve as a launch pad to more resources, on healthjournalism.org and elsewhere. Joe Rojas-Burke served as AHCJ's first social determinants core topic leader and helped launch the pages.
If you have suggestions for Heavey, questions you'd like to see answered or examples of things you'd like guidance on, please send them to determinants@healthjournalism.org or tweet them to @susanheavey.

As I mentioned in Volume I of this series, Gil Kiesecker is my idea of a dance fiddler. This stems in part from his solid sense of timing, awareness of the dance steps and exuberant bow work. In addition, he's got a few tricks up his sleeve which add some zip, punch and snap to his playing and which you won't pick up on unless you watch him closely. These also tie in to some of the roots of Northwestern style fiddling.
I've made some bowing suggestions that demonstrate Gil's general approach to a schottische (and much of his hoedown fiddling as well). He plays it a little differently each time through, but this is mostly a matter of reshuffling the deck so to speak, putting the patterns in different places. Measure 15 has back to back pairs of slurred 1/8 notes (Scandinavian influence) followed by simple down-up saw stroke. Measures 1 and 5 are similar, but the up-bow slur has a brief lift in mid stream, turning it into two short up bows in a row, known in Scottish fiddling as the "updriven bow." Measure 12 demonstrates the so called "Nashville Shuffle" (despite its moniker, this pattern is particularly associated with Scandinavian influenced styles). Saving the best for last, measures 2 and 6 show the kind of "down-driven bow" Gil frequently employs. As in the Nashville shuffle, you get the long-short-short rhythmic pattern. But, play the opening 1/4 note on the down-bow, lift briefly before continuing down for the first of the pair of 1/8 notes. This gives a more percussive attack to the phrase, making the dance rhythm just pop out of the fiddle. Give it a go and see what you think. Check out Gil on his two CDs on Voyager Recordings, VRCDs 356 & 360 (Gil's Schottische is on the first of these).
You may recognize this from the September 2005 Evergreen Fiddler and Volume III of the tunebook series. My apologies, but life sort of got in the way and I was unable to submit a new tune for this month. I trust you will enjoy this rerun.

For all third-party services over which we do not have direct control, instead, refer to their privacy management policies which are linked in the various sections of this privacy policy.
If there is something that you did not understand or you want to ask us to delete your data or in general for whatever goes into your head write an email to hello@kabum.it.This privacy policy has a Creative Commons Attribution – Share license likewise 4.0 International . It means that you can use it in whole or in part – even on commercial sites – if you allow it to be shared in the same way.
What information we collect when you use the site and which not: Google Analytics and traffic data analysis
Like all those who have a site and use it to sell or promote something, we are interested in knowing who visits the site, what they look at and where it comes from. This thing in technical terms is called "traffic data analysis" and to do it we use Google Analytics – here the information on privacy and the protection of personal data .
Google Analytics has a lot of very advanced features that allow you to know a lot of things about who visits a site. We only use it to know the essential things: who visits the site – language, location, device, browser and operating system – what they watch – classic traffic data: page views, average time, ranking of the most viewed pages, etc. – and where does it come from – so-called referrals: if you come from Facebook, Google, the newsletter and so on.
All the information that Google Analytics collects comes to us anonymously. This means that we do not know your name, where you live, what is your email address, which pages you have seen, how long you have been on the site and where you have come from but only that tot people in a certain period of time have arrived on the site. site, there have been a while, have seen certain pages and so on.
Which ones are not
Instead we do not use Google Analytics to collect information to be used for advertising, so in our Google Analytics account all the functions that are used to advertise on the internet are disabled. Another thing we don't use is a feature called User ID , which basically allows you to track who uses the benches site when they change devices: first computer, then phone, then tablet and so on.
We've also limited the things Google Analytics can know about you by using a technique called IP anonymization . In practice this means that when you use the site Google Analytics hides part of the information about your geographical position, and that when we go to see where the users of the site are, the information we see is a little less precise. Patience, that's fine too.
Where is this information
The information that Google Analytics collects is on Google Analytics and nowhere else. This means that it is Google that keeps the information and that we do not make copies stored elsewhere, neither on our computers nor printed on our desks. When we want to look at traffic data we go to Google Analytics and look at it from there.
Who has access to this information
Right now there are two people who have access to our Google Analytics account: Teresa Romano and Marco Testini. No one else has access to this account and the information it contains, and we do not share this information in any way with anyone else or any other service.
How to block Google Analytics
If you don't want Google Analytics to tell us these things about you, you can use this extension made available by Google : it is there for all major browsers. If you want you can also look at the information that Google makes available on the privacy and data protection of Google Analytics .
Consent to use your email address for Facebook advertising
When you join our mailing list, we ask for your consent to use your email address for advertising on Facebook. Here's how we use it if you agree.
In order not to show you advertisements that you are not interested in
If you give us your consent to use your email address we can exclude you from these advertising campaigns that do not interest you and avoid showing you unnecessary advertising.
To show you advertisements that maybe you are interested in
We do not yet advertise on Facebook specifically for mailing list subscribers, but we may decide to do so in the future. For example, maybe we wrote a post that we think interests you in a particular way: if you give us your consent we can give your email address to Facebook to say "hey, show him this post, we think he likes it".
Why we use the Facebook pixel and what you need to do if you don't want to be tracked.
On the site we have installed the Facebook pixel. Here's what we use it for and what you need to do if you don't want to be tracked.
How we use the Facebook pixel and how we plan to use it in the future
At this moment, the Facebook pixel serves us above all to track the results of the advertising campaigns we do on Facebook. In the future, we could also use it to do other things, such as showing those who visit the site or a page of the site a specific advertisement on Facebook – the famous retargeting.
None. The Facebook pixel helps us keep track of what you do when you arrive on our site from Facebook. Maybe you clicked on one of our advertisements: what did you do next? Did you arrive on the page that interested us, did you do that thing we hoped you would do or did you give up and move on to something else, did you click on one button or another? Things like that.
However, Facebook does not show us this information explicitly, it only shows us the data in an anonymous form. So we don't know that you – name, surname, email address, this is your Facebook profile – have done this and that, but just how many people have done something in a certain period of time.
If you want to know more go to the Facebook documentation page dedicated to the GDPR and look for the parts dedicated to the pixel – unfortunately we cannot link them directly, because there is no way to do this.
The information that the Facebook pixel collects is on Facebook and nowhere else. This means that Facebook keeps the information and that we do not make copies stored elsewhere, neither on our computers nor printed on our desks. When we want to look at the data collected by the pixel we go to the Facebook Business Manager and look at it from there.
Right now there are two people who have access to our Facebook Business Manager: Teresa Romano and Marco Testini. No one else has access to this account and the information it contains, and we do not share this information in any way with anyone else or any other service.
How to block the Facebook pixel
The fastest way is to use the cookie policy banner that appears the first time you arrive on the site to refuse third-party cookies. If you have already accepted cookies in the past but now you want to block the Facebook pixel, delete the cookies stored using the browser settings, reload the page and then refuse third-party cookies.
If there is something you did not understand, write an email to hello@kabum.it.

# Setting Focus

You can put the focus on a specific **RadInput** control dynamically, or you can specify a **RadInput** control that should get the focus by default. You can set the default focus for the form as a whole, or you can set the default focus on a control that is a child of a Panel control.

To set a focus in the **RadInput** control you can use one of the following methods.

## Setting focus in ASP.NET

ASP.NET provides two different solutions if you need to set focus dynamically:

* You can call a control's **Focus** method:

````C#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	RadInput1.Focus();
}
````
````VB.NET
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
	RadInput1.Focus()
End Sub
````

* You can use the **Page.SetFocus** method with control's ID as a parameter:

````C#
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	Page.SetFocus(RadInput1.ClientID);
}
````
````VB.NET
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
	Page.SetFocus(RadInput1.ClientID)
End Sub
````

Both approaches do the same thing. It is your choice which method you prefer.

## Setting focus using RadAjaxPanel/RadAjaxManager

**RadAjaxPanel/RadAjaxManager** has a **FocusControl** method that lets you set focus to desired controls. You can use the **RadAjaxPanel.FocusControl/RadAjaxManager.FocusControl** methods to set focus to a control after the Ajax request is complete:

````C#
RadAjaxPanel1.FocusControl(RadInput1.ClientID);
RadAjaxManager1.FocusControl(RadInput1.ClientID);
````
````VB.NET
RadAjaxPanel1.FocusControl(RadInput1.ClientID)
RadAjaxManager1.FocusControl(RadInput1.ClientID)
````

## Setting focus using the ScriptManager

The **SetFocus** method of the **ScriptManager** works like the **SetFocus** method for the **Page** class. Both methods make the control with the specified ID the active control on the Web page. The **SetFocus** method of the **ScriptManager** is for setting focus during asynchronous postbacks. During postbacks and when the page is first rendered, the **SetFocus** method calls the **SetFocus** method of the **Page** class.

````C#
ScriptManager1.SetFocus(RadInput1.ClientID);
````
````VB.NET
ScriptManager1.SetFocus(RadInput1.ClientID)
````

## Setting focus in client-side code

The client-side objects for all the **RadInput** controls have a **focus** method that lets you set focus to the control. The following example uses this method to set focus to a **RadTextBox** control when the page is loaded, by calling its focus method from the BODY **onload** event:

````ASPNET
<head runat="server">
	<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body onload="setFocusToRadInput();">
	<form id="form1" runat="server">
	<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
	<div>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			function setFocusToRadInput()
			{
				var radInput = $find("<%= RadInput1.ClientID %>");
				radInput.focus();
			}
		</script>
		<telerik:RadTextBox RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadInput1" runat="server">
		</telerik:RadTextBox>
	</div>
	</form>
</body>
````

The CFPB or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently published a report titled "Financial Well-Being in America" that discusses the four elements of financial well-being, and how Americans of different income levels display varying levels of financial wellness. Two of the CFPB's most important conclusions from the study are that "savings and financial cushions provide the greatest differentiation between people with different levels of financial well-being" and that "certain experiences with debt and credit seem to be strongly—and negatively—associated with financial well-being." Credit unions must understand the four elements of financial well-being and how to help improve the borrowing and saving experience for members to help boost their financial wellness.
To help members improve their financial well-being, credit unions can provide members access to tools to control day-to-day and month-to-month finances by borrowing and saving more effectively. Members often need access to the ability to borrow to manage daily and monthly expenses. According to the CFPB, inexpensive, small-dollar loan products can help stabilize members in the short-term. Without these alternative loan options, many members risk falling into a cycle of debt through high-interest payday loans or by accruing large credit card balances with high interest rates. Credit unions are uniquely positioned to offer these small-dollar loan solutions to members because they are invested in the long-term financial stability of members, instead of looking for a quick profit.
In order to improve a member's financial stability enough to start saving, credit unions need to build support for savings. Integrating financial coaching and debt-management counseling services into small-dollar loan products can help members make good decisions throughout the borrowing process. The ability to borrow strategically can directly lead into the ability to save, especially with the guidance of trusted credit union financial coaching professionals.
When members turn to a small-dollar loan product offered by a credit union to solve a short-term cash management crisis, the credit union has the opportunity to offer help to build a savings plan once the member's income has stabilized.
How does the new CFPB Small-Dollar Loan Rule Impact Credit Unions?


Ronald G. Avers, 68, of Belleville, Illinois, was charged by criminal complaint on July 30, 2014, with seven violations of the Product Packaging Protection Act of 2002, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton, announced today. Avers appeared in federal court in East St. Louis earlier today for an initial appearance. A detention hearing will be held on August 4, 2014. Each violation of the Act carries a term of imprisonment of up to ten years, a fine of up to $250,000, and a term of supervised release of up to three years.
The complaint alleges that the Federal Bureau of Investigation learned on July 9, 2014, from Shop 'n Save that needles had been found in packaged meat products offered for sale. Shop 'n Save reported seven incidents, all of which were associated with its location on North Belt West Road in Belleville. The recoveries were made during the time period of May, 2013, to July, 2014. The complaint alleges that one customer found a needle in her mouth while eating; another reported being stuck in the hand. In other instances, customers said that they found the needles in purchased meat products but were not injured. On one occasion, an employee detected the presence of a needle in a meat product.
A criminal complaint is a preliminary charging document. Under the law, a defendant is presumed to be innocent of a charge until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt to the satisfaction of a jury.
The case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Suzanne M. Garrison.

The presence of a conductive layers of hot-formed oxide on the surface of bars for pre or post-compressing structures can promote localized attacks as a function of pH. The aggressive local environment in the occluded cells inside localized attacks has as consequence the possibility of initiation of stress corrosion cracking. In this paper, the stress corrosion cracking behavior of high strength steels proposed for tendons was studied by means of Constant Load (CL) tests and Slow Strain Rate (SSR) tests. Critical ranges of pH for cracking were verified. The promoting role of localized attack was confirmed. Further, electrochemical tests were performed on bars in as received surface conditions, in order to evaluate pitting initiation. The adverse effect of mill scale was recognized.

Many stores like old house are in line along both sides of a highway, and many tourists are enjoying the atmosphere of the mountain village.
The rice plant and vegetables are planted in the narrow field around the old houses.
The living of a mountain village from several hundred years ago has been breathing here.
Walking along the village, I felt unaccountable warmth.
Why were many large houses like this made in narrow arable that was completely isolated with mountains?
May its reason be based on living in snow and a deep forest?
Next time, I introduce the inside of the architecture with A-frame, and the four seasons of the mountain village.
And I investigate a way of the living.
I went to Gifu last year but only to Gifu Koen and Gifu Castle. I wish I could have explored more and seen this area, it's beautiful.
thank you reblogging my article.
日本のこの部分への私の魅力は私が唯一の私の心にそこにしてきた深いにもかかわらず実行されます。楽しい旅だったに違いない何共有していただきありがとうございます。My attraction to this part of Japan runs deep even though I've been there only in my mind. Thank you for sharing what must have been a pleasurable trip.
My nostalgia also ran deep in there. Here is the old mind of Japan. It reflect the architecture too.
Beautiful… It reminded me of the mountain village of my fore-fathers in the Himalayas, life was much tougher for them – travel between urban cities and the villages was extremely difficult.
Please teach me. Was there the statue of deity of Brahmanism, the murti of Hindooism, in India before the Common Era? It is about the statue of Siva, Brahma, and Indra etc.
I think that they began to be made after the 1st Century A.D.
when was the oldest statue of deity of Brahmanism born ?
How is it written to the Veda of the ancient Indian scripture about the statue of deity?
I think that the oldest Buddha statue will have been made after the 1st Century A.D. in northwest India.
It seems that the statue of the goddess( yakusi ?) has appeared about the 2nd century B.C.
Well its a very interesting topic you have picked up for discussion. History of India and Hinduism goes well beyond the last 2000 years. In fact starting from 700AD and till 1947 was an extremely painful part of our history where invader tried to destroy everything, including the Hindu religion. First I will answer your questions in short. But I would need to explain it in detail to make it clear.
a) Was there the statue of deity of Brahmanism, the murti of Hindooism, in India before the Common Era? – Yes, they were there from before Common Era.
b) When was the oldest statue of deity of Brahmanism born? – They existed even in the Pre-historic era, much before the Vedic Era (1500-1000BC) – Scientific evidence like Symbols/Seal/Icon of Hindu deities e.g. Shiva are found from the excavation at Indus Valley/ Harrapa civilization sites. Most of the pre-common era statues were destroyed after 700AD by Islamic invaders who hated Idol worshiping.
c) How is it written to the Veda of the ancient Indian scripture about the statue of deity?- Vedas are mantras – they are like instruction manuals for Brahmans/priests to carry out the worship through personified basic natural elements like Air (Varuna), Fire (Agni) and Rain/Water (Indra).
d) I think that the oldest Buddha statue will been made after the 1st Century A.D. in northwest India. – Yes the oldest surviving Buddha statue is from Gandhara dating back to 1 AD.
e) It seems that the statue of the goddess( yakusi?) has appeared about the 2nd century B.C. – Yes the Oldest surviving Hindu temple is from 108AD Mundeshwari Devi Temple in northern India.
1.	The foundation of Hindu religion is the belief in the trinity of Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the caretaker) and Mahesh/Shiva (the destroyer) were there much before the Common era in Hindu scriptures. It dates back to the Pre-Historic period.
2.	As per Hindu traditions the timelines of this world are divided into 4 periods (Yugas) – a.)	Satyuga or the golden age of Truth when all humans & Gods were almost equals. The humans were so pious and truthful that whenever they wanted they could summon the Gods. There was no need to carry out special worships to please the gods. b.)	Then came the second period Treta followed by the third one called Dwapar. In Treta period humans started making mistakes and losing ground to Demons. Gods had to come in human form (Lord Rama) – set the highest standard of behavior for humans being, defended the Humans by destroying Demons (Ravana). Ramayana – the story of Rama depicts this age of Hinduism and India as a country. c.) In Dwapar period, human lost more grounds to evil and now humans were fighting not against the demons but against fellow humans beings. It was getting hard to distinguish the Evil from the Good, the Gods came in the form of humans, even Gods now started making mistakes and not keeping up the highest standards of morality and ethics. d.) A major war at the end of Dwapar age paved the way for the fourth and last stage of Kalyug, after which the world as we know it today, is supposed to end and a new one would be created by Brahma. This war and this period of Hinduism/ India is depicted in the Mahabharata. Bhagavad Gita is a part of Mahabharata –through a dialogue between Lord Krishna and warrior Arjuna at battlefront, in a very concise manner, Lord Krishna tries to explain the ultimate secret of life, to Arjuna who is confused about the purpose of life.
thank you responding my article. i may reply to your comment after reading your articles.
3. We currently living in this last leg of the journey called Kalyug. After the arrival of Kaliyug (the age of Ignorance/ Untruth/ Falsehood) all the people were not engaged in a pious lifestyle, so the Vedas were specifically created for this age to work like instruction manual for the Brahmins to carry out the worship of Gods in the most pious manner which will please the Gods. Brahmins were now doing the worship not only for themselves but also for other sections of society e.g. the King or Ruling warrior class, the Business communities, and the Working Class.
4. Brahma is credited with the creation of Vedas for the specific purpose of defining the method of worship, though the modern version of Vedas in the form of 4 separate books is written by Vedavyasa – who also wrote Mahabharata. It does not have the philosophical explanation of Hindu Religion or the explanation of all the deities/ Gods/Goddess – that gets covered in a number of other scriptures known as Puranas (Srimad Bhagwatam, also written by Vedavyasa, is the most important Purana and considered as 5th Veda). Unlike many other religions in the world, there is no single book of rules or do's and don't in Hinduism. It is more like an integrated course in philosophy wherein you learn from a variety of sources and make your own rules and regulation about how you want to live your life.
I was moved by your wide knowledge and commentary power.
Because my command of English was unripe, I was not able to understand all.
However, I confirmed that there was the lead of the image of deity (Buddha statue) in the prehistoric age with some different documents and understood.
I intend to write the history of the Buddha statue in my blog someday.
It became very helpful. I need your help well from now on.
5.	Views of historians & expert from across the world suggest that the Vedas in the present form/language are there since 1000-1500BC, The deities described in Vedas are basically personification of the forces of nature – Varuna=Air, Agni=Fire, Indra=Rain/Water, etc. Indra is considered chief deity in Vedas, the king of Gods who maintains the separation between Heaven and Earth. Fire/Agni works like a conduit between the Gods and Humans – the offerings which are meant for various Gods are given to Agni/ Fire during the worship/ Yagya.
6.	Vedas are not the origin of Hinduism, they are traditional sacred text explaining the rituals which the Brahmans/Priests are suppose to carry out to please the Gods. Brahmans/Priests carried out these worships/Yagya. There are 4 Vedas – The three Vedas – Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda are independent collections of mantras and hymns intended as manuals for the all Brahmans, to carry out regular procedures of worshiping (Yagya). The Atharvaveda is the fourth Veda, its status has occasionally been ambiguous, probably due to its use in sorcery and healing, not all Brahmans are suppose to use the Atharvaveda.
7.	The physical statues of Hindu deities as they exist today in the temples of India are from the recent periods (last 2000 years) but the deities were there even before – the scientific proof of their existence is there in form of a) relics from excavation done on the sites of Indus Valley/ Harrapa Civilization which existed between 33 to 14 century BC, b) Images on the walls of the caves in many parts of India, and c) description in Hindu scriptures (other than Vedas).
8.	The period between 200BCE to 700AD was an amazing period in India – it was at the top and the whole world was envious of its riches. Many religions branched out of Hinduism during this period, including Buddhism. India was not one country like it is right now, it was made-up of big and small kingdoms spread from what is today Afghanistan in West and spreading upto Burma in the East. There were natural boundaries in North (Himalayas) and South (Indian Ocean/ Arabian Sea) There were fighting's between various Kings and their Kingdoms, but they were not based on the religious themes. People were not converted forcefully, religious symbols were not destroyed purposefully. The influence of Hinduism was spared across Combodia, Indonesia, Thailand and till Bali. Buddhism started around the 400BC went even further and spread across China and reached till Japan. But it was all peaceful, not like the violent Islamic/ Christian wars in middle-east and Europe; or the forceful ethnic cleansing in Americas/ Australia/ enslaving of humans from Africa.
9.	Most of the temple and statues of deities were destroyed by foreign invaders which started coming to India around 7th century AD, starting with the Islamic Invaders from the middle east who considered them un-islamic, symbol against their own religion and hence blasphemous. The most recent example being the destruction of Bamiyan Buddha statues by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
10.	Very few temple/ statues survived these dark centuries. Some in Southern part of India or high up in the northern Himalayan mountains. Even these were first looted of all the valuables and historic relics and then reconstructed during the British colonial rule in India. Most of the artifacts belonging to ancient Hindu religion/ ancient India were either destroyed or taken away by these foreign invaders. All that was left was the Hindu belief system inside the heart of the people. Some of the cruel invaders even forcefully converted people to their own religion. But I guess it was the strength of the Hindu belief system that even though all the physical symbols were being destroyed, the people kept the thoughts alive inside their hearts. When the temple/ statues/ scriptures were being destroyed, Hindus started making small temples inside their homes, using whatever material they could afford and orally passing on the knowledge of religion and scriptures from one generation to another. There were times when a specially harsh tax called Jazia was imposed in India for those who wanted to follow Hinduism by a Mughal King Aurangzeb. The Christian missionary sponsored by British/ Portuguese/ French invaders also kept buying people faith through incentives like money, western education, enhancement of social status. But still India continues to be a Hindu majority country – it's a miracle and a proof that there exist some Superpower entity somewhere in the universe which is managing is managing it all. You may call it by any one single name or multiple names, it hardly matters. Even if you believe in only in science and logic, you would accept the possibility of such a scenario.


Recent and unique, this breed descends directly from the wild cats (felines), but behaves as a domestic cat.
To breed a cat as beautiful as the wild felines, but sweet as the cats. This was the challenge faced by Jean Mill, who lives in California, USA, in order to breed the Bengal. It's a story that started 30 years ago, and envolves dedication, plus a little luck.
Jean, who majored in psichology and did graduate work in genetics, has always loved cats. In 1963 she bought an Asian leopard (Felis prionailurus bengalensis), a wild feline the size of a cat, found in Malasia, Bangladesh and India. It was a female, and she put it with a domestic cat. They had a hybrid kitten (coming from different species), which was named Kin Kin. The Asian leopard has the same number of chromossomes as the domestic cat, which is essencial, when they mate, to produce fertile cats. However, it is also mandatory that the genes of both animals be distributed in the chromossomes similarly, which not always happens. That is why Jean was amazed when Kin Kin, by her turn, gave birth to a beautiful brood. With the death of her husband, in 1965, Jean moved from the farm where she lived in Yuma, Arizona, to an apartment in California, and abandoned her hobbie. This experiment, therefore, has had no influence in the current blood lines of the Bengal.
Jean only went on with her work when she got married again. She moved to a small farm in 1975. At that time, researcher Willard Center-Wall bred Asian leopards with domestic cats in order to isolate the gene which made them immune to feline leukemia. Jean managed to start taking care of these kittens. In a trip to India, in 1980, she saw a cat on the street which resembled an Asian leopard. She took it to the USA, and bred it com as hybrid females. She called him Milwood Tory of Delhi.
In the process of breeding, Jean noticed that only some of the females were born fertile. Fertile males only appeared after the fourth generation. She bred several cats with markings, including Egyptian Mau and Ocicat. "By using them the genes which carry the typical characteristics of the wild cats are 'diluted,'" says Jean Mills. "We have enough markings, and we must settle the other items which garantee a wild appearance better." The Bengal can become even more similar to the Asian leopard, as the official standard demands. Jean explains that "some of the attributes are hard to obtain, such as small and round ears, very contrasting markings with spots which appear randomly or aligned horizontally."
Cats which descend directly from the Asian leopard acquire a trustworthy temperament after four generations. In the first one, they do not like to be held, but are sweeter than their wild ancestor, rubbing their bodies on the legs of the breeder, and allowing to pick them up for a short time.
The Bengal maintains the quick reflexes of his wild ancestor. But must, according to standard, inspire trust. They can demonstrate fear, try to free themselves and run away, without ever being threatening or show annoyance.
Alert, curious, it has a good disposition, and likes to play. "They love to move," says the breeder Marco Antonio de Assis Beja, of Cattery Charmant, Rio de Janeiro. "My bengals are so playful, they pry into shelves and knock down books." The breed is less noisy than others. But still, they purr, and mew, sometimes loudly, in a way that makes one remember their wild ancestors. They are affectionate towards the owner, and get along with other breeds. Marco Antonio comments that the kitten grows very fast, and demands the same care destined to other cats.
The bengal was only recognized by TICA - The International Cat Association, of the US, in may 1992. The other entities are still observing the breed, to verify if the wild temperament has been completely eliminated.
General Appearance: It must resemble an Asian leopard. The head is large, longer than wider, with small ears, wide at the base, and round at the top. Large and oval eyes, green or yellow. Long body, with heavy bones. The extremity of the tail must be black; abomen with markings; pads the same color of the body, and same color of the other paws.
Coat: Short, dense and smooth as silk, horizontally spread spots, preferably forming rosetts. Markings may resemble marble. Avoid white marks in the body and tabby mackarrel marking.
Bredings allowed: Only Bengal with Bengal.

A generator is a type of electrical machine used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. They work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. They are the main source for the production of electrical energy at power stations. They are also widely used as a backup power source at homes, offices, and hospitals. But, these backup generators are small in size as compared to the ones installed at power generation sites.
Like every other machine, a generator is made of some significant components that are the essential part of the machine. As there is a continuous increase in the usage of these machines, a number of electrical machinery manufacturing companies in USA, China, Japan, and other leading states have grown themselves for the production of the components required to build a generator.
In general, the main part of every machine is the 'engine'. It drives all the processes that a machine requires. Similarly, in generator an engine is the most significant component that helps the prime mover in a rotation, to produce mechanical energy so that it can be converted into electrical energy afterward. To function, it requires a fuel source such as gasoline, diesel, natural gas, propane, bio-diesel, water, sewage gas or hydrogen. Engines are deliberately designed in such a way to produce maximum output.
In order to have an accurate amount of fuel for smooth functioning of a machine, there is a proper system behind; that helps in transferring an appropriate amount of fuel to the system. There is a storage tank that stores enough amount of fuel to power the generator for hours. The fuel pipe is connected to the engine for transferring fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. A filter is also attached in between to filter any impurities from the fuel that would disturb the working process. At the end of the fuel pipe, there is a fuel injector that directly injects the fuel; to the combustion chamber of the engine.
An alternator is a part of the generator that consists of a stator and a rotor in its construction which helps in converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy. A stator is a stationary part while the rotor is the rotating part. A stator is a coil that conducts electricity and rotor contain permanent rotating magnets that produces the varying magnetic field.
For continuous and constant production, an alternator has a voltage regular attached to it, in order to have a regulated amount of voltage at the output.
Whenever there is mechanical work, there is always a release of heat energy which can cause overheating to the system if not prevented rightly. A cooling system is responsible for eliminating the heat release. A generator uses fans or oil tank for cooling purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ethical Guidelines for Allocation of Scarce Medical Resources and Services During Public Health Emergencies in Michigan
Q: What are the Guidelines?
A: The Ethical Guidelines for Allocation of Scarce Medical Resources and Services During Public Health Emergencies in Michigan (Guidelines) provide an ethical framework for the allocation of scarce medical resources and services during public health emergencies. In the simplest terms, they answer the question of how health care providers can make decisions about access to scarce medical resources when there is not enough for everyone to have access to these resources immediately.
Q: Why have these Guidelines been developed? What purpose do they serve?
A: The purpose of the Guidelines is to minimize the harm caused by public health emergencies, while allowing fair processes to protect all individuals. Health emergencies, regardless of cause, that affect a significant portion of the population can create critical shortages in drugs, supplies, or even personnel. With proper planning the effects of these emergencies may be mitigated, but scarcity can still occur despite the best planning efforts. The Guidelines address how medical care providers handle the rare circumstances in which the number of individuals affected by the health emergency exceeds the resources available to treat them.
Q: What are some of the ethical principles that the Guidelines use?
A: The Guidelines consider a number of ethical principles, including the individual autonomy of health care professionals and patients, the obligation to minimize harm and suffering, the duty to be a careful steward of scarce resources, and the need to provide access to services according to fair processes, among others.
Q: What are the Guidelines trying to accomplish?
A: The Guidelines are designed to provide a consistent framework for coordination and cooperation within the state of Michigan on issues related to scarce resource allocation during emergencies.
Q: What are the goals of the Guidelines?
A: The Guidelines set out three goals: 1) to minimize morbidity and mortality; 2) to maintain the social fabric; and 3) to ensure fairness.
Q: Why are these decisions not being left to doctors?
A: The Guidelines have been produced by physicians, nurses, ethicists, lawyers, state officials, and other experts over the past two years. These individuals have had the opportunity to think critically and discuss the ethical and practical issues involved in scarce resource allocation. It would be a great burden on health care professionals to expect them to make these difficult ethical decisions without guidance during the stress of a significant public health emergency. Additionally, the Guidelines ensure that individual decisions do not perpetuate the personal preferences of the decision-maker and lead to unfair or biased results.
Q: Who will make allocation decisions?
A: The specific implementation of these Guidelines will be left to health care providers (hospitals, care facilities, etc…), but there are suggested means of making allocation decisions. If a public health emergency does occur, members of a statewide advisory panel will be working consistently to advise and update the Guidelines to handle the particularities of each event, and keep health care personnel informed of changes. In this way the Guidelines can be constantly reevaluated to meet unusual or unforeseen circumstances.
Q: Do these Guidelines tell doctors and nurses what to do? Do they require health care professionals to make certain decisions about a patient's medical treatment?
A: No. Decisions about care are still made by health care professionals and institutions. The Guidelines recommend criteria to make decisions about allocating scarce medical resources and services during public health emergencies. The ethics-based framework outlined in the Guidelines does not supplant the decision-making authority and responsibility of health care providers. Rather, the Guidelines are a tool that can be applied by health care providers in making decisions and by facilities in development of their own, more specific, protocols for allocating scarce medical resources and services.
Q: Will pre-existing conditions exclude people from treatment?
A: No. The Guidelines explicitly prohibit the use of a person's pre-existing medical condition or long-term medical prognosis as criteria for access to scarce medical resources.
Q: Are these Guidelines being put in place to avoid stockpiling?
A: No. Emergency stockpiles are a critical element of disaster and emergency preparedness. However, regardless of the stockpiles and anticipatory supplies there is no sure way to eliminate the chance of scarcity. For example, in a time of a pandemic influenza outbreak, the vaccine to prevent infection may be months in the making, and available only in limited supply. The Guidelines would allow health care professionals to follow national recommendations and ensure those limited vaccines can be distributed in such a way as to minimize the loss of life and disruption to social order during the outbreak.
Q: Who will receive priority in accessing scarce medical resources and services under these Guidelines?
A: Because the Guidelines are meant as a means of minimizing the negative effects of health emergencies, first priority will go to those in serious medical condition who have a favorable medical prognosis and also those who are in the best position to help others, such as medical care professionals and others directly involved in responding to the emergency.
Q: Will this benefit the wealthy?
A: No. Wealth, age, sex, ethnicity, national origin, social worth, and other like categories are specifically prohibited as a means of establishing priority under the Guidelines.
Q: Wouldn't it be simpler to have a lottery or first come, first served?
A: The Guidelines suggest that these approaches may be used but have shortcomings. A lottery system can be administered with complete fairness, but is not conducive to minimizing the health impact of an emergency. First come, first served is easy to implement, but is not a fair system. People with more resources or greater access to information or transportation are more likely to benefit under this approach than people who are poorer or less savvy with the health care system.
Q: Is there an appeals process?
A: Health care institutions, such as hospitals, are encouraged to create a process for patients to appeal resource allocation decisions. Each institution will determine internally how such a process will work.
Q: Are these Guidelines final or will they be changed?
A: The Guidelines are not yet final. The committee that produced the current draft of the documents is actively seeking feedback on the criteria and recommendations offered for making allocation decisions. The committee will be reaching out to professionals and community groups in numerous ways over the next year to solicit comments and feedback. The comments we receive may cause the criteria and recommendations in the Guidelines to be changed. All of this input will help in our efforts to complete the Guidelines. Comments about the Guidelines should be forwarded to Professor Lance Gable at Wayne State University Law School, Info@MIMedicalEthics.Org.

About Motif Alumni
Marcus Fitzgerald Rucker Jr. (born September 5, 1995), better known by his stage name Motif Alumni is an American producer, composer, arranger, songwriter, rapper, and singer from The Bronx, New York. He is perhaps best known for producing records for several prominent artists in the music industry, including Snoop Dogg, Fabolous, Fat Joe, G-Unit, The Lox, and Rod Wave among others. Motif is a multi-instrumentalist who composes works completely from scratch embodying elements of soul and jazz to psychedelic/progressive rock and even gospel that has earned him collaborative work with some of the greatest producers the industry has ever seen including Timbaland, 808 Mafia, and araabMUZIK among others. He currently runs his own sound design company, The Rucker Collective consisting of himself and other sound designers that he signed to the company with a mission of creating original compositions (with a purpose to be sampled) to deter producers from incurring clearance issues and high publishing/royalty fees. Motif got his start in the industry in 2016 being the main in-house producer for legendary Hip Hop crew DITC after being discovered by Showbiz at an invite-only beat showcase titled BPM (Beats Per Minute) at DITC Studios. This led to him producing DITC's return single after being defunct for a decade, "Make 'Em So Proud (Hold Up)" feat. Fat Joe, AG, & Diamond D as well as producing the majority of all DITC projects including O.C's "Same Moon, Same Sun" & "A New Dawn", D.I.T.C's "Studios" and "Sessions", & Showbiz's "A Room Therapy" During this time, Motif met fellow producer Derek "Kas" Kastal (who would also later become his manager/business partner) during a listening session with Fat Joe playing beats for his and Remy Ma's album "Plata O Plomo" which would lead to them becoming a production duo (going by Motif Alumni & Kas) after his departure from DITC in 2017. Underneath the production duo, Motif Alumni & Kas, they would go on to land their soundscapes on a handful of gritty street anthems including Dave East & The Lox "Load My Gun", Lloyd Banks "Temptation", among others. With the success behind those records, Motif Alumni & Kas formed their own label, Backcourt Records where they put out instrumental albums and birthed cult classics from underground upstarts like Vic Spencer ("Stupid") and Codenine ("IX") where copies have been seen on Ebay and Discogs going as high as $500 each and sold out in minutes upon release. In 2018, the industry started to change their stance on sampling and a lot of major placements got taken off the table due to sample clearance issues as Motif Alumni & Kas had a knack of sampling records so rare that labels couldn't find the publisher for. This led to Motif Alumnitaking a step back from sampling and composing the samples himself from scratch. Between being a masterful pianist already and studying the greats from his years of crate digging, within months, Motif mastered the art of composing. In 2019, he formed his company The Rucker Collective with his partner Kas, where the mission was to solve clearance problems for not only him but other producers in the same predicaments as well as provide the best melodies possible.
Upon forming The Rucker Collective, producers ranging from Timbaland to 808 Mafia to G.O.O.D Music crew to araabMUZIK, among others have reached out to work resulting in records like "Extra" off Rod Wave's "Ghetto Gospel" (Peaked at #10 on Billboard 200, spending 25 weeks+ on charts) , "Cold Summer" off Fabolous' "Summertime Shootout 3" (Peaked at #7 on Billboard 200), "The Marathon Continues" off Dave East's debut album "Survival" (Peaked at #11 on Billboard 200). Other work includes Westside Gunn ("Bautista"), K Camp/Yella Beezy ("Top 10"), Royce Da 5'9"/DJ Premier ("On The Block"), YBN Almighty Jay ("Apology"), Coi Leray ("The Hills"), and many more.

Lenovo Unveils New Tablets, Smartphone and Plans 'Smart TV'
Lenovo unveiled three new tablets and a smartphone for the Chinese market on Tuesday and said it will launch a smart TV product in the first quarter of next year.
No details on the smart TV were given, but Lenovo said it would be called "ideatv" for international markets. The smart TV is part of a series of products including tablets, smartphones and PCs that can easily share content between one another.
Lenovo officials announced the smart TV product as the company detailed its strategy for mobile devices. During Tuesday's company-sponsored event, Lenovo showed off the second generation of its line of LePad tablets, which are intended for Chinese consumers.
LePad02
The LePad comes in three screen sizes: 5, 7 and 10 inches. Both the 7- and 10-inch devices run the Android 3.2 operating system and have a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor. The two tablets features a user interface designed to resemble a checkerboard, with each icon tile connecting to applications and services. Both support China Unicom's WCDMA and China Telecom's EVDO networks.
The 5-inch tablet can also make phone calls and supports Unicom's HSDPA data network. It uses Android 2.3 and runs with a dual core 1.2 GHz processor.
Lenovo also unveiled its second generation LePhone, which can take panoramic, 270-degree photos. Lenovo released no pricing details or launch dates for the products.
The "Le" series of devices will be sold under the "idea" brand name outside of China. The LePhone will become the "ideaphone." In Chinese, "Le" can mean "happy."
Lenovo, now the world's second-largest PC vendor behind HP, established a new business unit in January to focus on tablet and smartphone development. Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing said the company's smartphone sales in China have reached 1 million units a month.


Perfect for a weekend morning, this cinnamon rolls recipe will be a hit with the whole family, especially if you have kids who like to help out in the kitchen.
Flatten out the bread dough to a rectangle. Take the butter and brush it on the top.
Mix the brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon, then sprinkle it on the rectangle. Roll it up to make a long snake. Cut it into about 20 slices.
Place rolls into lightly buttered pan. If you have a round pan it works better (but you'll need two of those). You might have to take some melted butter and wet the end of the roll to get it to stay in a roll. Let the rolls sit for about 90 minutes, until they grow. Pour the cream over the rolls.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes, or until they are slightly brown. If you like them gooey, then you'll take them out just as they brown.
While your rolls are cooking, mix the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.
Depending on how you like your topping, you might need to add sugar or milk. Pour the topping over the rolls while they are still warm.
This is just one of dozens of recipes created by kids for kids in the Small Fries Cookbook.


The city is its people. Civic conversations are an opportunity to meet in a safe space and discuss civic issues that are near and dear to our hearts. Bringing together individuals and organizations from across the city, we will explore "What Will It Take" to enhance and amplify the parts of our city that we are already proud of, and to create more space for happier, healthier, smarter and safer qualities of life for our citizens.
What are 'human rights cities'? Imagine living in a society where all citizens are committed to build a community based on equality and non-discrimination; where all actively participate in the decisions that affect their daily lives guided by the human rights standards; where people have consciously internalized the holistic vision of human rights to overcome fear and impoverishment – a society that provides human security, access to food, clean water, housing, education, healthcare and work at livable wages… sharing resources and opportunities with all citizens not as a gift, but as a realization of their inalienable human rights. A Human Rights City is a practical and viable model that demonstrates how living in such a society is possible!
Together we will examine some examples from around the world and identify what might be required for Ottawa to adapt the Human Rights City model here at home.
Guest Speaker: John Packer, Director of the Human Rights Research and Education Centre at the University of Ottawa.
John Packer is Director of the Human Rights Research and Education Centre and an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Ottawa. He previously taught at the Fletcher School (Tufts University) and the University of Essex, held Fellowships at Cambridge and Harvard Universities, and has lectured at academic and professional institutions around the world.

Global Hot Melt Adhesives Market is expected to reach $11.1 billion by 2024 growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2016 to 2024. The hot melt adhesives are thermoplastic materials that provide optimal hold by the process of melting and solidifying. They are available in the form of granules, powder, blocks, ribbons, foil, slats, and others. Special application equipment is required to operate in high temperature range needed to apply the hot met adhesives. Currently, dispensers and glue guns are most widely used equipment. These adhesives are widely used in consumer goods and construction industries for manufacturing pressure-sensitive products.
Increasing demand from packaging industry, rising need for replacing other adhesive technologies, growth in non-woven disposable industries, and need for high-performance solutions are the key drivers propelling the growth of the global hot melt adhesives market. However, fluctuating price of raw materials and low thermal resistance are the major hinderance of the market growth.

Q: How can I get the parent in the asp:CustomValidator javascript function How can I get the parent in the asp:CustomValidator javascript function so that I can used it to check whether the related checkbox have been checked?
Example:
I have the following code:

            Add Reps to Team:

             <asp:GridView ID="grid" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="EmployeeID"
                    DataSourceID="dsEmployees" EnableViewState="false"
                    GridLines="None" CssClass="clGridDirectory">
                    <Columns>
                      <asp:TemplateField >
                        <ItemTemplate>
                          <asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="employee_name" CssClass="employee_name" Text='<%# Eval("fullname") %>'/>
                          <asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="employeeidToRep" Value='<%# Eval("employeeid") %>'/>

                          <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="repID" Text='<%# Eval("rep_id") %>'  />

                            <asp:CustomValidator id="CustomValidator2" runat="server"
                              ControlToValidate = "repID"
                              ErrorMessage = ""
                              ClientValidationFunction="test" >
                            </asp:CustomValidator>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                      </asp:TemplateField>
                    </Columns>
                  </asp:GridView>
               <asp:SqlDataSource ID="dsEmployees" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:TestConnectionString %>"
                    SelectCommand="app_staff_without_team_select" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure">
              </asp:SqlDataSource>

Jquery code:
function test(oSrc, args) {

    var $tb = $('input[id$=employee_name]');
    // only validate if an <asp:Checkbox> called chkOtherCheckbox is ticked
    alert(args.Value.toString())
    if ($('input:checkbox[id$=chkOtherCheckbox]').is(':checked'))
        alert('checked')
    else
        alert('no checked')

}

How can I get the parent in the test function so that I can used it to check whether the related checkbox have been checked?

A: You can use this code for getting the state of nearest checkbox.
function test(oSrc, args) {
   var nearestCheckBox= $(oSrc).parent().find('input:checkbox:first');
            var state=nearestCheckBox.attr('checked');//use this variable

}

Rambuteau, de su nombre completo Rambuteau - Centre Georges Pompidou, es una estación de la línea 11 del metro de París, situada en el límite entre los distritos III y IV.

Historia
Como casi todas las estaciones de la línea 11 fue inaugurada el 28 de abril de 1935.

Debe su nombre a Claude Philibert Barthelot, conde de Rambuteau, conocido por trabajar junto al barón Haussmann en la transformación de París durante el Segundo Imperio. La denominación de la estación se completa con una referencia al Centro Georges Pompidou dada su cercanía al mismo.

Descripción
Se compone de dos andenes laterales de 75 metros de longitud y de dos vías.

Está diseñada en bóveda elíptica revestida completamente de los clásicos azulejos blancos del metro parisino aunque en este caso planos, sin biselar.

La iluminación es de estilo Ouï-dire realizándose a través de estructuras que recorren los andenes sujetados por elementos curvados que proyectan una luz difusa en varias direcciones. Inicialmente esta iluminación coloreaba las bóvedas pero esta característica se ha perdido.

La señalización por su parte usa la moderna tipografía Parisine donde el nombre de la estación aparece en letras blancas sobre un panel metálico de color azul. Por último, los asientos son de un individualizados, de estilo Motte y de un inhabitual color gris.

Accesos
La estación dispone de cuatro accesos. Tres de ellos en la calle Beaubourg, y el último en calle du Grenier-Saint-Lazare.

Explain tarrifs as barriers to trade
Identify at least two benefits of reducing barriers to international trade
Tariffs are taxes that governments place on imported goods for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons include protecting sensitive industries, for humanitarian reasons, and protecting against dumping. Traditionally, tariffs were used simply as a political tool to protect certain vested economic, social, and cultural interests. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is committed to lowering barriers to trade. The world's nations meet through the WTO to negotiate how they can reduce barriers to trade, such as tariffs. WTO negotiations happen in "rounds," where all countries negotiate one agreement to encourage trade, take a year or two off, and then start negotiating a new agreement. The current round of negotiations is called the Doha Round because it was officially launched in Doha, the capital city of Qatar, in November 2001. In 2009, economists from the World Bank summarized recent research and found that the Doha round of negotiations would increase the size of the world economy by $160 billion to $385 billion per year, depending on the precise deal that ended up being negotiated.
In the context of a global economy that currently produces more than $30 trillion of goods and services each year, this amount is not huge: it is an increase of 1% or less. But before dismissing the gains from trade too quickly, it is worth remembering two points.
First, a gain of a few hundred billion dollars is enough money to deserve attention! Moreover, remember that this increase is not a one-time event; it would persist each year into the future.
Second, the estimate of gains may be on the low side because some of the gains from trade are not measured especially well in economic statistics. For example, it is difficult to measure the potential advantages to consumers of having a variety of products available and a greater degree of competition among producers. Perhaps the most important unmeasured factor is that trade between countries, especially when firms are splitting up the value chain of production, often involves a transfer of knowledge that can involve skills in production, technology, management, finance, and law.
Low-income countries benefit more from trade than high-income countries do. In some ways, the giant U.S. economy has less need for international trade, because it can already take advantage of internal trade within its economy. However, many smaller national economies around the world, in regions like Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, have much more limited possibilities for trade inside their countries or their immediate regions. Without international trade, they may have little ability to benefit from comparative advantage, slicing up the value chain, or economies of scale. Moreover, smaller economies often have fewer competitive firms making goods within their economy, and thus firms have less pressure from other firms to provide the goods and prices that consumers want.
The economic gains from expanding international trade are measured in hundreds of billions of dollars, and the gains from international trade as a whole probably reach well into the trillions of dollars. The potential for gains from trade may be especially high among the smaller and lower-income countries of the world.
Visit this website for a list of some benefits of trade.
From Interpersonal to International Trade
Most people find it easy to believe that they, personally, would not be better off if they tried to grow and process all of their own food, to make all of their own clothes, to build their own cars and houses from scratch, and so on. Instead, we all benefit from living in economies where people and firms can specialize and trade with each other.
The benefits of trade do not stop at national boundaries, either. Earlier we explained that the division of labor could increase output for three reasons: (1) workers with different characteristics can specialize in the types of production where they have a comparative advantage; (2) firms and workers who specialize in a certain product become more productive with learning and practice; and (3) economies of scale. These three reasons apply from the individual and community level right up to the international level. If it makes sense to you that interpersonal, intercommunity, and interstate trade offer economic gains, it should make sense that international trade offers gains, too.
International trade currently involves about $20 trillion worth of goods and services moving around the globe. Any economic force of that size, even if it confers overall benefits, is certain to cause disruption and controversy. This chapter has only made the case that trade brings economic benefits. Other chapters discuss, in detail, the public policy arguments over whether to restrict international trade.
It's Apple's (Global) iPhone
Apple Corporation uses a global platform to produce the iPhone. Now that you understand the concept of comparative advantage, you can see why the engineering and design of the iPhone is done in the United States. The United States has built up a comparative advantage over the years in designing and marketing products, and sacrifices fewer resources to design high-tech devices relative to other countries. China has a comparative advantage in assembling the phone due to its large skilled labor force. Korea has a comparative advantage in producing components. Korea focuses its production by increasing its scale, learning better ways to produce screens and computer chips, and uses innovation to lower average costs of production. Apple, in turn, benefits because it can purchase these quality products at lower prices. Put the global assembly line together and you have the device with which we are all so familiar.
Tariffs are placed on imported goods as a way of protecting sensitive industries, for humanitarian reasons, and for protection against dumping. Traditionally, tariffs were used as a political tool to protect certain vested economic, social, and cultural interests. The WTO has been, and continues to be, a way for nations to meet and negotiate through barriers to trade. The gains of international trade are very large, especially for smaller countries, but are beneficial to all.
If the removal of trade barriers is so beneficial to international economic growth, why would a nation continue to restrict trade on some imported or exported products?
Are the gains from international trade more likely to be relatively more important to large or small countries?
In World Trade Organization meetings, what do you think low-income countries lobby for?
Why might a low-income country put up barriers to trade, such as tariffs on imports?
Can a nation's comparative advantage change over time? What factors would make it change?
If trade increases world GDP by 1% per year, what is the global impact of this increase over 10 years? How does this increase compare to the annual GDP of a country like Sri Lanka? Discuss. Hint: To answer this question, here are steps you may want to consider. Go to the World Development Indicators (online) published by the World Bank. Find the current level of World GDP in constant international dollars. Also, find the GDP of Sri Lanka in constant international dollars. Once you have these two numbers, compute the amount the additional increase in global incomes due to trade and compare that number to Sri Lanka's GDP.

taxes that governments place on imported goods
A nation might restrict trade on imported products to protect an industry that is important for national security. For example, nation X and nation Y may be geopolitical rivals, each with ambitions of increased political and economic strength. Even if nation Y has comparative advantage in the production of missile defense systems, it is unlikely that nation Y would seek to export those goods to nation X. It is also the case that, for some nations, the production of a particular good is a key component of national identity. In Japan, the production of rice is culturally very important. It may be difficult for Japan to import rice from a nation like Vietnam, even if Vietnam has a comparative advantage in rice production.

A powerful weather front is forecast to sweep across the north of England at the weekend - but that doesn't mean Somerset will escape the rain and wind.
Heavy rain and gales will hit the county on Friday, leading to a unpleasant weekend for much of the region.
Gale force winds and torrential downpours are forecast to cause localised flooding and transport disruption across the north of England on Friday, according to The Weather Channel, with between 2-5cms of rain forecast in 24 hours.
While Somerset will not bear the brunt of the storm, that won't stop some nasty conditions coming this way.
According to the Met Office, overnight rain and coastal gales will be followed by frequent blustery showers across Somerset on Friday.
Wind and showers will continue on Saturday, despite some patches of sunshine.
Those planning to hang festive lights or embark on Christmas shopping trips will want to hold off until Sunday, when the wet weather backs off.
A yellow warning for wind has been issued for much of northern England and Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern Wales between 3:00am and 11.59pm on Friday, December 7.
