I've gone in too deep.
I am becoming a British academic.
It began when I was suddenly physically incapable of saying words that end with "a" without adding an "r." I've been introducing myself as Lydiar from Minnesotar or Iowar since mid-September. Three weeks ago, I asked for a white tea when I wanted tea with milk. Last Tuesday, I sprouted a foot-long professorial beard and a monocle (which appears to be permanently adhered to my eye socket). I've been declining ever since.
I thought I was fitting in well, but it transpires that I fit in too well. They think I am one of them. And they won't let me leave. They made me an MP. They ordained me into the Church of England. They granted me a D. Phil. for my thesis on naturalistic morality in the early Postmodern Era (which I have no recollection of writing, by the way. But I must've, and since Wednesday I've also published three books on the topic. Stay tuned for my second doctoral thesis, which is apparently on the impact popular acceptance of Schleiermacher's new religion had on the Anglo-Norman conception of eschatology. Don't ask).
I find myself unable to leave my flat—they say "flat" here; I say "flat" here—without first donning my tweeds, a woolen jumper, and a cap. The monocle truly will not come off. I have taken up smoking a pipe, in spite of all I learned in Cancer Biology last autumn. I subsist exclusively on tea and Jaffa cakes. I think traveling farther than 30 minutes is an implausibly long journey. I call Europe "the Continent." I think that 3 degrees Celsius is unbearably cold. For entertainment, I pace around the perimeter of Oxford with my hands clasped behind my back, pondering the metaphysics of nothingness and the chances that Oxford will beat Wilberfordshire in the next cricket match. I sing Rule Britannia in the bath.
It is unlikely that my transformation can be reversed at this point. I suspect that an over-large helping of sweet potato casserole and Jell-O salad eaten while wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt emblazoned with a bald eagle may help diminish the size of my beard slightly, so, if you could see your way to sending these items in the post, I would be eternally grateful. The beard is terribly inconvenient when one is attempting to tie a bow-tie.


The SystemDynamics library is designed as a graphical library for modeling mass and information flows in a continuous-time system using Prof. Jay Forrester's System Dynamics metaphor. Two separate and independent versions of this library had originally been created by Dr. Stefan Fabricius and by Prof. François Cellier and his students. These have now been merged into a single version that has furthermore been enhanced as well.
System Dynamics offers a fairly low-level graphical interface, not much different from a block diagram. The fact that continuous systems contain differential equations is hidden from the user by talking about levels, i.e., quantities that can accumulate (state variables), and rates, i.e., quantities that influence the accumulation and/or depletion of levels (state derivatives).
The System Dynamics modeling metaphor is widely used especially by researchers in the life sciences and social sciences.

Григо́рій Ходке́вич (? — 12 листопада 1572) — державний діяч і воєначальник Великого князівства Литовського, магнат і гетьман. Заснував друкарню в Заблудові (північне Підляшшя, українсько-білоруське суміжжя), де працював Іван Федоров (1569–1570).

Біографія
Походить з відомого роду магнатів. З середини XVI століття посідав високі посади підкоморія дворного литовського (1544—1559), воєводи вітебського (з 1554), воєводи київського (1555), каштеляна троцького (з 1559), гетьмана польного литовського (з 1561), каштеляна віленського (з 1564), гетьмана великого литовського (з 1566). Також — староста тикоцинський, ковенський, гродненський, могильовський.

Був прихильником самостійності Великого князівства Литовського і супротивником Люблінської унії. Протестуючи проти федерального об'єднання з Королівством Польським у Республіку Обидвох Націй (Річ Посполиту), у 1569 році відмовився від всіх державних і адміністративних посад.

Брав участь у Лівонській війні проти московського війська.

У 1568 році заснував друкарню при православному монастирі в містечку Заблудові Гродненського повіту (нині Білостоцького повіту Підляського воєводства в Польщі), де продовжили свою діяльність руські першодрукарі Іван Федорович і Петро Мстиславець, що втекли від переслідувань з Москви.

У Заблудівській друкарні надруковано Учительне Євангеліє — збірка бесід і повчань з тлумаченням євангельських текстів (1569, збереглися 44 екземпляри), з гербом Григорія Ходкевича на обороті титульного листа і передмова якого написана від імені Григорія Ходкевича, Псалтир з часословом (1570, збереглися 4 екземпляри).

Тиск католицького духівництва змусив Григорія Ходкевича в 1570 році відмовитися від підтримки кириличного православного книгодрукування.

Large scale charcoal drawings wrap the gallery in "the Walrus and the Bidet" where highly rendered realism plays with simple silhouette.
Each drawing connects through the horizon line to create a bizarre landscape. A polar bear watches a man seductively feed a woman strawberries on top of a dishwasher. A lingerie model takes an iron for a walk. There is a garden gnome in the bathroom and Lara Flynn Boyle cuts a dashing figure in a tutu.
All the facts are given but nothing is revealed. The viewer is left to ponder a bellowing walrus and the domestic bliss of an Asko washing machine.
Since the kitchen sink is included all that is missing is Donna Hay and David Attenborough to interpret the wild domestiscape.


INDIANAPOLIS, IND. – Sophomore All-American Matt Vandermeer (Clarkston, Mich./Clarkston) won the individual title at 165 pounds to lead the Lake Erie College wrestling team to a 12-place team finish at the 34th annual Midwest Classic tournament in Indianapolis this weekend (Dec. 15-16).
Junior Zak Vargo (Stow, Ohio/Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy) finished third at 157 pounds, leading the Storm with six victories at the tournament and posting a 6-1 overall record.
Vandermeer posted a perfect 5-0 mark. After receiving a first-round bye he won a apir of matches by decision before a thrilling 4-2 tiebreaker win over Mason True of the University of Findlay in the semifinals. True defeated Vandermeer at last year's regional meet and is currently ranked second nationally at 165 pounds. Vandermeer was fourth in the weight class heading into the meet. He then went on to defeat Upper Iowa University's Wade Gobin 5-1 in the finals.
Vargo won his first two matches before falling in the championship bracket third round. He then battled back through the consolation bracket with four straight wins – including a pair by major decision – and decisioned Taylor Knapp of Newberry College 4-2 in the consolation finals for third place.
Six other Storm wrestlers won multiple matches in the tournament and advanced to as far as the consolation brackets fourth round.
Lake Erie totaled 53.5 points to place 12th in the 26-team field.
The Storm is off through the holiday break, returning to action on Saturday, Jan. 5 when the team hosts the second annual Storm Open at the Jerome T. Osborne Family Athletic & Wellness Center.

DHQ: Count Us Out Of Plot To Overthrow FG, Buhari
DHQ
The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) yesterday restated the loyalty of the Armed Forces to the 1999 Constitution as amended and President Muhammadu Buhari, dissociating the military from the circulation of a document, calling for the overthrow of the democratically elected government of the president.
In a statement by the Deputy Director of Defence Information, Navy Captain Muhammed Wabi, the DHQ accused a group, "Nigerian Continuity and Progress (NCP),'' as being behind the document.
Wabi alleged that the document called for the setting up of an "interim government'' in place of the elected government.
It said: "The Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) wishes to dissociate itself from the rascality and intentions as espoused in a document being circulated by a faceless group named Nigerian Continuity and Progress (NCP), calling for support of a revolution to oust the current democratically elected government and in its place establish an illegitimate interim government.
"The AFN out rightly condemns the undemocratic and demonic actions of the author of the document.
"Accordingly, members of the public are enjoined to discountenance the content of the documents being circulated by NCP and equally condemned in totality, the call to derail our hard earned democracy.''
The statement added that the armed forces was "very mindful of its constitutional responsibilities'' and would not be misled into any act that would undermine democracy as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution as amended.
"The AFN remains unflinchingly loyal to the Constitution, as well as President Muhammadu Buhari and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria," the DHQ said.
The statement said all relevant law enforcement agencies had been advised to unravel those behind the seditious document for appropriate actions.

Q: Why duplicate mount --bind cause empty /dev/pts? $ ls /dev/pts
0  1  ptmx

$ sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt

I run on Debian 9 with Linux 4.14.13 kernel.

A: *

*/tmp/dev/pts/ is empty after the first mount, because you used mount --bind, as opposed to mount --rbind.
/dev/pts/ is one of a number of other filesystems, which are commonly mounted in sub-directories of /dev/.

*/dev/pts/ becomes empty after the second mount, because of mount propagation.
When you add the second bind mount of the /dev/ filesystem, that bind mount is propagated back to /dev/.
There is one Q & A about this behaviour here: Mounting new filesystem affects non-recursive bind mounts?

PA Green Party policies benefit every citizen
PHILADELPHIA – Two of the greatest strengths of the Green Party of Pennsylvania (GPPA) are the popularity of Green Party policies, and the Green Party's ability to introduce cutting edge ideas into the political mainstream. Greens work side by side with citizen activists, frontline communities, and grassroots organizations to generate movements that positively affect policy for the enrichment of our society. Along with their allies, Greens have brought forth some of the most essential and popular programs of our time by using political influence.
Green Party of Pennsylvania
www.gpofpa.org/
Chris Robinson, Communication Team
215-843-4256 and [email protected]
Paramount to the survival of people and the planet, the Green Party was instrumental in introducing the Green New Deal into public consciousness. As early as 2010, Green Party candidates were presenting the concept of a Green New Deal to voters. By 2012, the plan was taken to the national level during the presidential election. As Greens continued to spread the urgency of their plan a movement grew behind it. In 2019, a Green New Deal was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives (H.R. 109), and a majority of voters supported the policy. .
Similarly, other popular programs have been elevated by the Green Party including universal single-payer healthcare, ranked choice voting, overturning the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court, a ban on fracking, and opposition to U.S. military intervention and imperialism. With a robust platform of progressive policies, the Green Party continues to build support for its Four Pillars of non-violence, ecological wisdom, social justice, and grassroots democracy.
Where partisan powers have built unfair and dangerous institutions, the Green Party has gone to the courts to remove these barriers to democracy. Exorbitant ballot access requirements in PA were dismantled in 2016, when the courts decided in favor of the GPPA's 2006 U.S. Senate candidate. It was then determined unconstitutional for PA to require minor parties to collect nearly 100,000 petition signatures to obtain access to the PA ballot. The threshold to get on the ballot by ordinary people was therefore lowered.
Additionally, the courts decided that in PA those making a challenge to a candidate's nomination petition could not levy their court expenses on the defendant. This decision dismissed over $80,000 in fees and penalties placed on the GPPA's 2006 U.S. Senate candidate. That victory now prevents the practice of using the cost of a ballot challenge as a tool to discourage everyday people from seeking elected office.
Further, other legal wins for democracy have involved the Greens. Such as the PA scandal known as "Bonus Gate," where state money and resources were illegally used in 2004 and 2006 by the Democratic Party to challenge the nomination petitions of Green Party candidates. More recently, Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein's 2016 campaign was victorious in forcing the overhaul of PA's election security infrastructure, requiring a verifiable paper record of votes.
Greens continue to propel progressive policies forward into the mainstream while simultaneously making the government more fair and accountable to the people. Winning elections is just one part of the work which the Green Party must do. They must also register voters who are outside of the two corporate parties. For more information about the GPPA platform and state-wide candidates, please visit www.greenslate2020.org.
To become a member of the Green Party or to volunteer to help Green Party candidates appear on the ballot for the General Election, November 3, please contact your county Green Party. You may also volunteer at green_wave_2020_signup.
The Green Party of PA (GPPA) is an independent political party that stands in opposition to the two corporate parties. GPPA candidates promote public policy based on the Green Party's four pillars: grassroots democracy, nonviolence, ecological wisdom, and social justice/equal opportunity. For further information about GPPA, please visit www.gpofpa.org or email [email protected]. Please follow GPPA on social media: Facebook and Twitter.

Design and atmosphere and color and well-organized furniture. All these elements are very important. To help you in creating stylish modern look of the living room small glass coffee tables are very useful.
They are functional. Sometimes you can put some food or drinks on it when the family is chatting or watching TV. You can put magazines and newspapers on it. Coffee tables can be also used for vase of flowers or fruits or some interesting beautiful things for décor. It is decorative function.
Of course you are not restricted by living room. Using it as decorative element will suit to any style of room. And in the bedroom your toilet table can be replaced by small glass table.

You can put all them on table. It is also convenient that you can see all of them. For bathroom you can choose different models of tables. For example, some tables have a top and shelves. Or some models have original shape. Not round and not square. Your bathroom will have an attractive look with such table. If you decided to put the glass table you should be very attentive.

So there are some advices where small glass tables can be used. Of course you can think out of other variants of its use.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Don't expect the Jacksonville Jaguars to change course now.
Just about every move they have made since top executive Tom Coughlin's return last year has been to bolster the defense and running game. Those old-school ideals are so much a part of Jacksonville's identity that Coughlin even helped fashion new uniforms to match the team's on-field style.
The NFL draft probably will adhere to the franchise's throwback philosophy.
Take a quarterback in the first round? Highly unlikely. Select a receiver? Probably not.
Look for Coughlin and the Jaguars to continue building a smash-mouth team early in the draft, beginning with the 29th overall pick Thursday night. Offensive line, tight end or maybe another defender would be the safest bets.
Here's the best way to look at Jacksonville's upcoming draft: The Jaguars led New England 20-17 with a little more than five minutes to play in the AFC championship game and failed to close it out. So what can they do to avoid that happening again?
Being able to run the ball better with Leonard Fournette would be a good start. That's why Jacksonville acquired the most coveted offensive lineman in free agency last month. Former Carolina All-Pro guard Andrew Norwell signed a five-year, $66.5 million deal that included $30 million guaranteed.
Norwell will play between blossoming left tackle Cam Robinson, a second-round draft pick in 2017, and solid center Brandon Linder.
The right side of Jacksonville's line could use a makeover.
Guard A.J. Cann, a third-round pick in 2015, is entering the final year of his contract, and 31-year-old right tackle Jermey Parnell has two years remaining on his deal after playing most of last season with a knee injury.
Jacksonville likely won't be in position to take Notre Dame guard Quenton Nelson, widely considered the most polished offensive lineman in the draft, but could land Notre Dame offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey, UCLA's Kolton Miller or Georgia's Isaiah Wynn.
No one would be surprised to see the Jaguars choose a tight end with their first pick, either.
Coughlin and general manager Dave Caldwell cut veteran Marcedes Lewis last month, and although they signed Austin Seferian-Jenkins in free agency, they're still looking for someone who can be as productive blocking as catching passes. Those guys are rare these days, with South Carolina's Hayden Hurst and South Dakota State's Dallas Goedert seemingly the best available.
Some other things to know about Jacksonville, which is positioned to pick outside the top 10 for the first time since 2007.
Veteran linebacker Paul Posluszny retired, and nickel cornerback Aaron Colvin signed with Houston. But the Jaguars drafted linebacker Blair Brown in the fifth round last year and signed free agent D.J. Hayden to replace Colvin.
"We have needs, don't get me wrong, but there's not a glaring need for this upcoming season for us," Caldwell said.
The Jaguars let Chad Henne walk, leaving them without a backup quarterback until trading for Cleveland's Cody Kessler late last month. Kessler's arrival did little to alter Jacksonville's desire for a developmental backup. But how high will the Jags take one?
Cornerback Jalen Ramsey (first round, 2016) and running back Leonard Fournette (first round, 2017) are two big hits for a team with a history of draft woes. No one from Jacksonville's 2013 draft class remains on the roster. Linebacker Telvin Smith (fifth round, 2014) and defensive Yannick Ngakoue (third round, 2016) are two of the biggest draft bargains the Jags have found in recent years.

Program Title The Emperor's New School (D1)
Days/Times Program Regularly Scheduled Saturdays/10-10:30 AM ET (through Saturday, August 27, 2011)
Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Kuzco, a youth who is heir to the throne of a mythical Andean country, must graduate from Kuzco Academy before he can become Emperor of his land. He lives with a peasant foster family and faces the intellectual, physical and social challenges that all teens face, while also preparing to rule justly and well. Sometimes Kuzco wonders whether being Emperor for the rest of his days will be a pleasure or a trap. Kuzco thwarts attempts by the nefarious Yzma and her henchman, Kronk, to stop him from doing well in school. If Kuzco were to fail at his class work, Yzma would become Empress. Kuzco struggles to complete his assignments and stay on track. Only if he remains steadfast, studies hard, learns from his mistakes, and can relate to citizens at all levels of society, will he ascend the throne. His best friend Malina, an excellent student, attempts to help Kuzco stay out of trouble and achieve his goals. Series episodes explore issues such as coping with peer pressure, respecting authority, taking responsibility, adhering to family and school rules, accepting differences, building self-esteem and trust.
Program Title Hannah Montana (D1)
Days/Times Program Regularly Scheduled Saturdays/12-12:30 PM ET (through Saturday, August 27, 2011)
Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Thirteen-year-old Miley Stewart, recently moved from Tennessee to Malibu, CA, leads a double life. By day she attends public high school, along with her older brother Jackson, but by night she is emerging pop star "Hannah Montana". Except for her family, only her two best friends, Oliver and Lilly, and her bodyguard know about Miley's career as a singer, and she strives to maintain privacy, fearing that her new classmates would treat her very differently if they knew of her stage identity. Miley wears blonde wigs while performing, and manages to escape being recognized. Miley's mother died three years before the story begins, so her dad is now a single parent. He has just begun dating again. Miley misses her mother very much. One of the songs that she writes and performs is about the pain of growing up without her mother. Unlike her brother, Miley is a dedicated student. At school, her enemies are Amber and Ashley, two girls who constantly bully Miley. Oliver and Lilly are fiercely protective of their friend. Miley has ordinary teenage insecurities, but remains true to herself, despite the allure of concert life, the limos, parties, and glamorous clothes. This is in no small part due to the solid values that her father, Miley's manager (Billy Rae Cyrus), has imparted. Tension and sibling rivalry do occur, especially when Jackson feels that his talented sister is getting all the attention. Stories examine social issues such as peer pressure, integrity, family rules, jealousy, friendship, loyalty, and issues related to bereavement.
Program Title Ultimate Choice (D2/D3)
Days/Times Program Regularly Scheduled Sundays/11:30AM - 12:00PM ET (September 4 through September 25, 2011)

Референдумы в Швейцарии прошли 3 марта 2013 года  и 9 июня 2013 года, 22 сентября 2013 года. Избирателей спрашивали, поддерживают ли они (1) федеральный порядок по семейной политике, (2) поправку к федеральному закону по градостроительному зонированию и (3) «инициативу Миндера» по оплате топ-менеджеров компаний, которая вводит контроль акционеров над уровнем зарплаты глав компаний, включая подъёмные бонусы для новых менеджеров и «золотые парашюты» для увольняемых. Наибольшее внимание привлёк вопрос об ограничении бонусов, выплачиваемых топ-менеджерам компаний. На референдуме 9 июня избирателей спрашивали, поддерживают ли они (1) поправки в закон о предоставлении убежища, (2) прямые выборы в Федеральный совет Швейцарии.

Вопрос по семейному планированию был одобрен большинством голосов, но отвергнут большинством кантонов. Зонирование было одобрено большинством голосов и не требовало большинства внутрикантональных голосований. Инициатива относительно регулирования оплаты топ-менеджеров была одобрена большинством голосов и всеми кантонами. Поправки в закон о предоставлении убежища были одобрены большинством голосов. Закон о прямых выборах в Федеральный совет Швейцарии был отклонён большинством голосов.

Избирательная система
В 11 кантонах граждане Швейцарии, проживающие за рубежом, впервые могли голосовать через интернет после того, как этот способ голосования был одобрен Федеральным советом Швейцарии в декабре 2012 года.

Кампания и результаты

 Референдум об отмене обязательной военной службы показал что граждане не хотят отмены. Одновременно были приняты поправки о работе магазинов при АЗС и закон об эпидемиях.

Семейная политика
15 июня 2012 года был проведён федеральный порядок по семейному планированию. Однако, федеральному правительству необходимо ввести поправку в Конституцию, чтобы работать с кантональными правительствами в сфере обеспечения баланса между работой и личной жизнью, улучшения дневных детских заведений, а также обеспечения семейных нужд.

 Отвергнут большинством кантонов.

Градостроительное зонирование
15 июня 2012 года была введена поправка в федеральный закон по градостроительному зонированию, которая ограничивает землю, доступную в муниципалитетах для развития в течение ближайших 15 лет. Поправка вносит 20%-й налог на земельные трансакции для собственников земли длля развития.

Оплата топ-менеджеров — Инициатива Миндера
Предприниматель и политик Томас Миндер в 2006 году начал инициативу «Против мошенничества, наживы и нетрудовых доходов» и собрал 100 тыс. подписей, необходимых для вынесения вопроса на референдум. Сторонники инициативы Миндера считали, что топ-менеджеры публичных компаний выплачивают себе огромные бонусы вместо того, чтобы увеличивать резервный фонд компании или размер выплаты акционерам. Инициатива получила название «Инициатива Миндера», или «Инициатива по жирным котам».

Против ограничения бонусов выступал Союз швейцарской экономики (Economiesuisse), который заявлял, что ограничение зарплат и бонусов может привести к оттоку талантливых топ-менеджеров.

Особенно этот вопрос привлёк к себе внимание после скандала в январе 2013 года, когда уходящий в отставку председатель совета директоров швейцарской фармацевтической компании Novartis Даниэль Васелла получил в качестве золотого парашюта 72 млн франков (78 млн долларов). Это вызвало бурю негодования в стране, после которой Васелла вынужден был отказаться от бонуса. Скандал практически предопределил исход референдума.

Предоставление убежища
Изменения в Законе о предоставлении убежища даст Федеральному правительству расширенные полномочия, чтобы ускорить процесс. Было также отменено право просить убежище в швейцарских посольствах за рубежом, а также за исключением сознательных отказчиков от военной службы и дезертиров.
Предложению противостояли левые партии, профсоюзы, правозащитные группы и религиозные организации. До референдума, результаты опросов общественного мнения свидетельствует о поддержке предложения на 57%. Изменения в законе были одобрены почти 80% избирателей. Референдум прошёл 9 июня.

Прямые выборы в Федеральный совет Швейцарии
Предложение о прямых выборах в Совет Федерации, который включал бы внесение изменений в Федеральную Конституцию Швейцарии, выдвинула Швейцарская Народная Партия. Опросы общественного мнения в конце мая, показали, что 66% избирателей, против. Предложение было категорически отклонено 76% избирателей. Референдум прошёл 9 июня.

Now you've aced the Interview, but your work isn't done yet—you still have a few more opportunities to stand out in the post-interview.
First, if you happen to have your interviewer's email address (we're calling him Andy), shoot him a very, very short email thanking him for his time. You'll also want to discretely share your contact information just in case he needs it later. Unless there's something specific he expects you to follow up on, don't ask any new questions or give Andy any action items in this email. This is just a short email to say "Thanks!" and demonstrate professionalism; it shouldn't require a response.
Subject: Josh Doody interview—Thanks for your time!
I just wanted to say thanks for your time today. It was great to learn more about ACME Corp, and about the Associate Accountant role in particular. ACME Corp sounds like a great company to work for!
Feel free to email or call anytime if you have any follow-up questions.
Thanks again for your time and have a great day!
You'll also want to send an email to the recruiter if that person and Andy are different people. There's one wrinkle here: If you don't have Andy's contact information, you'll want to ask the recruiter thank him for you and let him know that you appreciated his time.
Thanks so much for arranging my interview with Andy today. It was great to learn more about ACME Corp, and about the Associate Accountant role in particular. ACME Corp sounds like a great company to work for!
If you talk with him, please thank Andy for me and let him know that I appreciated his time today.
If you need anything else from me, please let me know. Otherwise, I look forward to the next steps in our process!


The City of Virginia Beach (City) began working with Brown and Caldwell on the development of a Management, Operations and Maintenance (MOM) program in 2004. In September 2007, the City entered into a Special Order by Consent (SOC) with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VA DEQ), Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) and 13 other localities in the HRSD service area. HRSD owns and operates the interceptor sewer system that transmits wastewater from 13 localities in the Hampton Roads area to one of 9 wastewater treatment plants in the area. The SOC required submittal of a documented MOM Program to VA DEQ in December 2008. In an effort to obtain regional consistency and provide for mutual accountability, the City, in conjunction with HRSD and the localities, agreed to incorporate regional consistencies into their MOM Programs (including SSO response protocols and wet-weather operations).

Muggleton to join Scarlets
metrowebukmetroMonday 2 Jun 2008 12:06 pm
Llanelli Scarlets have recruited John Muggleton – one of the world's top rugby union defence coaches.
Muggleton, part of Australia's coaching staff when the Wallabies were crowned world champions in 1999, will join Llanelli on a two-year contract from July 1.
He will work with new Scarlets head coach Nigel Davies, while Llanelli have also recruited Brad Harrington as fitness coach from Super 14 finalists New South Wales Waratahs.
Former Wales international forward Paul Moriarty, meanwhile, stays in his role of forwards coach, although Robert Jones (backs) and Wayne Proctor (fitness) will leave the Scarlets by mutual consent.
Sydney-born Muggleton spent 10 years with the Wallabies, a spell that included World Cup glory and a Test series victory over the British and Irish Lions.
Scarlets chief executive Stuart Gallacher said: "I am delighted with this superb team which will help propel us into an exciting new era.
"John and Brad bring great vision, knowledge and skill, and we've been very impressed with Paul in his time here."
Muggleton added: "The Llanelli Scarlets are one of world rugby's big names, and I look forward with great anticipation to helping them achieve their ambitious future goals."
