It is the role of the GDC to promote high standards of dental education and high standards of professional conduct amongst Dentists and Dental Care Professionals (DCP).
The GDC is made up of 12 members, 6 of which are appointed registrants and 6 of which are appointed lay members. The GDC is assisted by a number of committees who have different responsibilities. There are two different types of committees: standing committees and statutory committees. The role of the standing committees is to look at policies and processes in a particular area whereas the statutory committees carry out some of the regulatory work of the GDC and are defined in the regulatory Act, the Dentists Act 1984. It is the statutory committees that will consider allegations or concerns over a DCPs fitness to practice.
Before any investigation commences or any committees are appointed, the registrar will consider the complaint (or other information received by them) in relation to registered dentists or registered DCP whose registration is suspended and will determine whether said complaint (or information) amounts to an allegation. Where the registrar determines that this is the case the respondent and the person making the allegation (if there is one) will be notified.
In being notified the following items will be included: a summary of the allegation, a copy of the documents in the registrar's possession which relate to the allegation (subject to some exceptions), an invitation for the respondent to respond within a specified time period to the allegation with written representations addressed to the Investigating Committee and where the allegation has been made by a person the respondent will be informed that any representations he makes will be disclosed to that person for comment.


The Society of Symbolic Interaction (SSSI) will hold a conference and its 2018 Couch-Stone Symposium in Lancaster (United Kingdom) from July 4th to 6th, 2018. further information about accommodation, registration etc. can be obtained from the conference website.

Even the President of the United States must sometimes have to stand a round. At least you can only have two terms of any one idiot (e.g. W), meanwhile we in the UK can have a PM forever. So who knows how long we'll have to put up with the Eton Rifle that is Dave Cameron. His one pleasing characteristic is that his surname denotes a brewery. Max has very kindly reminded me of the Old Steps, an excellent stop off between the Fox & Newt and the Town Hall Tavern. A strange Harry Haller kind of place, it was rarely open, and only approached by a descent down the eponymous stone steps. The bar had two great features. One was the fact that the barman would play your compilation tapes if you brought them in (hence Moondance) and the other was Cameron's. The ruby red Strongarm stout was rather nice but the best was the Lion Bitter, which I do not think you could get for love nor money today, but I sure remember the beermats back in 1984!
What have the Romans ?

Acute beryllium poisoning is acute chemical pneumonitis resulting from the toxic effect of beryllium in its elemental form or in various chemical compounds, and is distinct from berylliosis (also called chronic beryllium disease). After occupational safety procedures were put into place following the realization that the metal caused berylliosis around 1950, acute beryllium poisoning became extremely rare.

Signs and symptoms
Generally associated with exposure to beryllium levels at or above 100 μg/m3, it produces severe cough, sore nose and throat, weight loss, labored breathing, anorexia, and increased fatigue.

In addition to beryllium's toxicity when inhaled, when brought into contact with skin at relatively low doses, beryllium can cause local irritation and contact dermatitis, and contact with skin that has been scraped or cut may cause rashes or ulcers. Beryllium dust or powder can irritate the eyes.

Risk factors

Acute beryllium poisoning is an occupational disease. Relevant occupations are those where beryllium is mined, processed or converted into metal alloys, or where machining of metals containing beryllium or recycling of scrap alloys occurs.

Metallographic preparation equipment and laboratory work surfaces must be damp-wiped occasionally to inhibit buildup of particles. Cutting, grinding, and polishing procedures that generate dust or fumes must be handled within sufficiently vented coverings supplied with particulate filters.

Diagnosis

Management
Therapy is supportive and includes removal from further beryllium exposure. For very severe cases mechanical ventilation may be required.

Prognosis
The signs and symptoms of acute beryllium pneumonitis usually resolve over several weeks to months, but may be fatal in 10 percent of cases, and about 15–20% of cases may progress to chronic beryllium disease.

Acute beryllium poisoning approximately doubles the risk of lung cancer. The mechanism by which beryllium is carcinogenic is unclear, but may be due to ionic beryllium binding to nucleic acids; it is not mutagenic.

Pathophysiology

History
Acute beryllium disease was first reported in Europe in 1933 and in the United States in 1943.

Cookson, 20 09 1911 1
CAPTURED BY THE OUTLAWS
ALONE WITH BYRNE IN THE HUT
The early morning sun set its slanting rays through the open space between the wall plate and the bark covering of the bushrangers' hut, when the outlaws began to bestir themselves. I lay feigning sleep, but still wide awake, wondering what the day would bring forth, inwardly praying that a way might be opened whereby I could escape.
One by one the bushrangers arose. The leader of the gang went forth, no doubt to satisfy his anxious mind that no enemy might lurk within the vicinity of his stronghold. The first movement of the other two was to the whisky bottle, as Byrne remarked, "to have an eye-opener."
I rose from my bed of bags with aching brow and weary limbs. My manacled wrists were swollen and inflamed, and the pressure of the iron rings had left a scarlet circle above my hands, and I felt a sense of relief when Dan took the gyves from off my wrist. Byrne was standing at the entrance, and telling me to come out, pointed to a kerosense tin, and told me to have a wash. I was then informed that I could move about within a prescribed area, but my sever watchful guard was there with his constant companion, the rifle.
Byrne prepared the meal, and ere long the leader was seen driving the bushrangers' horses through the gate at the corner of the fence. I took my breakfast in the same manner as the previous meal. When the repast was ended the two horses that the leader and his brother had ridden the previous day were saddled and led to the door. Then Dan, ordering me to go inside, followed me into the hut, and producing the handcuffs was about to replace them on my wrists, when I said, "These things hurt me terribly. Would you mind tearing my handkerchief, and allow me to put a piece round each wrist before you put them on?"
" 'You'll get no - handkerchief. Many a time you've put them on some bloke without any rag, and it's your turn now," was the reply.
I was determined to leave no opening for my guard to find any excuse for personal violence, so kept silent while he was placing the irons on my wrist. In the meantime the leader had entered the hut, and, addressing me said, "Listen to me. We're going for a ride. We might be away for an hour, perhaps an hour and a half. While we're gone Byrne will look after you with a gun, and if you try to get away you'll get an ounce of lead in your carcase."
"And," added his brother, 'we're pretty sure you're a - trap, and traps don't live long in these parts. But if you try any tricks you'll die before we come back."
Byrne, who was standing at the door with his rifle in his hand, heard the warning given to me, and as the brothers mounted and rode away I heard him say, as if in reply to some caution from his confederates, "All right, if he comes any new chum game with me I'll wing him below the left shoulder blade, "You've heard what I said, and if you try to play it low down on me, by --, I'll do it."
"I understand," I replied, and felt thankful that no promise was exacted from me. Soon after the brothers' departure Byrne, from a billy hanging over the fire, produced some hot water, and standing with his rifle near him shaved himself most carefully, after which he gave his curly hair a vigorous brushing, all the time carrying on a disjointed conversation with me. His tone was affable and quiet. I could not understand the different conduct in the absence of his comrades, but I was eventually enlightened as to the cause of his altered manner. Byrne very soon produced the whisky bottle, and, taking a stiff nip himself, he placed the bottle on the table, and, while filling his pipe inquired if I would like a smoke.

Here is a an outline of what to do if you want to add your own language to KLettres. Please keep in mind that KLettres is meant to help learning the alphabet and the more useful syllables in your language. Maybe some letters of the alphabet are never pronounced so you can remove those.
You will need 2 sets of sounds, one for the alphabet and one for the syllables, one file with the data, and one file with the special characters in your language, if there are any.
Put each sound in a file, wav, ogg or mp3. ogg is better as it's free (versus mp3) the alphabet sounds can be stored as a-0.ogg, a-1.ogg, etc. or a.ogg, b.ogg etc. the syllables sounds can be stored as ad-0.ogg, ad-1.ogg and so on or ba.ogg, bi.ogg, etc.., but use only lower ascii characters for the file names.
Each sound needs to be 1.5 to 2 seconds. If shorter, it will not play. Please add blank if necessary.
Replace "cs" with the two letter code and "Czech" with the name of your language. Write the sound names with the special characters of your language in upper case in utf8.
I will then place the sounds in the corresponding i18n module and also on the KLettres website so they will be available via File -> Get A New Language in KLettres.
Good luck and thanks a lot!

2 New York City Jewish schools closed over failure to heed orders on measles outbreak
(JTA) — New York City officials have closed two religious Jewish schools in Brooklyn for failing to comply with Health Department orders regarding the measles outbreak.
Tiferes Bnos and the Talmud Torah D'Nitra preschool are barred from opening until the Health Department approves plans from the schools to prevent unvaccinated students from coming to school, according to reports.
Earlier this month, Mayor Bill de Blasio declared a health emergency and ordered unvaccinated people living or working in four ZIP codes in the largely haredi Orthodox-populated Williamsburg neighborhood to get the vaccine or be required to pay fines of up to $1,000.
"Schools that continue to disregard our direction during the outbreak will be closed down until they can prove to the Health Department that they will comply," said the health commissioner, Dr. Oxiris Barbot. "The reality is, the longer it takes schools and individuals to comply with our Order, the longer this outbreak will continue."
Five schools closed by the Health Department for failing to comply with the regulations about barring unvaccinated students, and compelling the schools to maintain medical and attendance records on site, were authorized to reopen this week, the New York Daily News reported.
In addition, 57 individuals have received summonses for being noncompliant with the Health Department's emergency order to be vaccinated.
As of Monday, 423 cases of measles have been confirmed in New York since the beginning of the outbreak in October, with 348 of the cases in Williamsburg, according to the Yeshiva World News.

About Last Night…THE EQUALIZER, LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE, THE ROOKIE, and More
October 11, 2021 by Marisa Roffman
"Aftermath" – Just as McCall considers ending her work as The Equalizer, she's pulled back in when she takes on Detective Marcus Dante as a new client who needs her help to find an untraceable group of bank robbers, on the second season premiere of THE EQUALIZER, Sunday, Oct. 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
Pictured (L-R): Lorraine Toussaint as Viola "Vi" Marsette and Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall

Let's talk about Sunday night's TV!
CELEBRITY WHEEL OF FORTUNE: Oh my God, I'm so sorry to Donny Osmond, but I laughed ridiculously hard at him misspeaking and messing up BRAINS when saying the answer out loud. (For those who didn't watch, he said "BRAIN," which is not an accepted answer.)
Also, Amber Riley was so, so, so good at this game. Her getting "Bowl of Fruit" with the few letters she had on the board was crazy-impressive.
THE SIMPSONS: I wish I loved this "Treehouse" a little more, but it was a solid enough block. (I actually liked the last segment the best?)
THE EQUALIZER: The show has played with Robyn and Dante's dynamic for a bit, and I'm curious how this time might change things. Will this instance be enough for him to essentially be on her side? If that sticks, so much of Robyn's external pressures have changed: her daughter knows the truth and Dante won't be an obstacle. I'd be curious to see how they navigate giving her new speed bumps, and how the approach might change if they aren't quite as close.
LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE: I appreciate how the show expanded without losing the core of the show. It felt like the show I watched as a kid, but…outside.
That being said, I'm actually shocked the winning team won the literal minimum amount? You'd think they would have started the series off with at least someone grabbing the prize, even if they didn't make it out of the temple.
THE GREAT NORTH: It was actually brilliant to pair the Alaskan darkness with a spooky tale? It's hard to have truly unique Halloween episodes, but what a great start of what is hopefully a new tradition for the show.
SUPERMARKET SWEEP: Leslie Jones is also entirely right: WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AROUND WITH AN EMPTY CART IF YOU'RE SEARCHING FOR AN ITEM?? At least shove a thing or two inside???
BOB'S BURGERS: Man, Linda is so much nicer to Gail than she should be.
FAMILY GUY: It's honestly crazy Quagmire has never used Brian before as date bait? (At least that I can remember?!)
THE ROOKIE: I'm really, really liking Thorsen so far. I don't know if he'll be sticking around, but his dynamic with Nyla has been lovely and good for them both; I would like it if he sticks around.
Uh, Wesley, maybe it's time to tell Angela the truth? Your kid was threatened…
SEAL TEAM: I'm worried about Ray. I'm worried about Jason. I'm just worried. I'm fascinated by the mission to North Korea, but goodness, this would have been bad enough just having them undertake this job while a fully cohesive unit. But now? Yikes.

When Did Loyalty And Longevity Become A Bad Thing?
On December 16, 2021 By CBoemmeljrIn UncategorizedLeave a comment
I have worked as a Medical Laboratory Technologist in a Baltimore area hospital for 38 years. During those years I have seen changes in technology, testing, the use of information technology and automation. I have also lived through the warp-speed changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.
What I have learned over the past thirteen months under new management is that staying in one place for so long is viewed as a bad thing. For years I have gotten the looks and questions from the younger generation (who seems to change jobs as often as they upgrade to the latest cell phone) about why would I work in one place for that long of a time. I understand that and accept it; I find it humorous, actually.
Being of German descent, I have a strong work ethic and I take pride in that. Cal Ripken, Jr. is my sports idol and what he did everyday is well-known; 2632 games played in a row. Trying to emulate him, I have not missed a day of work due to illness for 30+ years. My maternal grandfather and my parents instilled in me and my siblings that you find something you like to do and you give everything you can to your employer. Take care of your job and your job will take care of you.
I find that to be an archaic concept now.
Part of the problem is that I have been working in the lab longer than my direct supervisor has been alive; she is 36 years old. The new Manager is probably not much older either. The lab's Medical Director was in elementary school when I started working there.
I was also taught that if you wanted to find success in your profession you find a mentor who has achieved that success and pick that person's brain. I have always sought out advice from others and have worked previously with a group of people who wanted to do the best that could be done together.
The culture now is "look at me and what I've done". Today's management knows it all even though they are not aware of what goes on in the "trenches". I've seen things, ideas and concepts come and go and come back again and I try to voice both sides of how those decisions will affect the workflow. Speaking from experience is now considered "negative".
When I'm asked why the lab does something a certain way, I try to explain the why and the history behind the why. Those explanations are looked at with a blank stare and comments of that's stupid or I've never heard of that.
Management have a very narrow view of the lab; time started in November of 2020. No one is interested in what we have been through collectively. Those experiences shaped what the lab is now but none of that matters.
Should an opinion or feeling be expressed, I am told that I shouldn't feel that way or that I shouldn't take things personally. Opinions and feelings are now devalued.
When did this all change? Are the current management teachings such that if you have the title, you have ALL the right answers?
Reset and teamwork are the current buzzwords thrown around the lab. Reset means do things the Manager's way and teamwork only applies as long as you agree with her pre-determined policies and thoughts. If you disagree she walks away from you and claims you are being difficult.
I do not profess to have all the answers but I thought my experience would have some value. I am treated like a dinosaur who's time has come and gone. Working in one place is not a bad thing or is it?
My goal was to reach 45 years of service; I'm not sure I will be allowed to achieve that. This new management has other priorities.
When Humanity Exits The Workplace
On December 3, 2021 By CBoemmeljrIn SportsLeave a comment
The few people that follow me and my writing know of my passion for baseball and Minor League baseball. I am known as an amateur columnist and blogger for OriolesHangout.com. What you may not know is that my full-time job is being a Team Lead in the Clinical Laboratory at a Hospital Center in Baltimore.
Working in a lab during the Covid-19 Pandemic has been both challenging and stressful. We are working in a constant state of flux; the rules change almost daily. People are leaving the profession at an alarming rate and there seems to be a dearth of individuals willing to enter the field. Frustration is at an all-time high and there is no end in sight.
Exacerbating the stressful work environment is the loss of humanity in the workplace. Yes, we have to wear masks and we do try to social distance wherever possible per hospital protocol. This can make communication difficult but we have adapted. The loss of humanity falls directly in the lap of management, however. Administrators, Managers, Supervisors and even the Medical Director stay planted in their collective offices and communicate through phone calls, texts and e-mails. People may be just 15 feet away and they get a phone call; no longer is there interaction with the staff. We are treated like minions who are unworthy to be looked in the eye and talked to.
And to think that I thought what happened back in 2019 to our lab was rock-bottom. Anonymous complaints by a disgruntled employee(s) are minor when viewed under the light of current circumstances. The loss of human contact and respectful, professional conversations between management and staff is painful. It has lead to misinformation, rumors, distrust and a cloud of misery hanging over the lab as a whole.
A little over a year ago, the hospital brought in a manager who was portrayed as the person who would clean up the lab and put it on the right path following the multiple anonymous complaints. What we got instead is a dictator who has managed to make matters worse. The manager's autocratic leadership style has put the lab in turmoil and has silenced the staff as their opinions and thoughts are viewed as negative if they run counter to what the manager thinks is best. Decisions are made beforehand and opinions are solicited only to make it appear as if the effort is collaborative.
Teamwork has been preached but not practiced; the manager is a "team" of one with hands in everything, yet nothing seems to get done. Should you see the manager, you see the cell phone in their hand and a glance at the clock on the phone says your audience is over. The only thing missing is a ring to kiss as a sign of fidelity to the institution the manager represents.
Preaching teamwork is not enough, the group has to be viewed as a team and treated as such. An actual conversation will certainly facilitate that teamwork. A lack of human decency only erodes it.
A Profound Loss For Birdland
On September 6, 2021 By CBoemmeljrIn SportsLeave a comment
On Saturday night at about 11pm, the world and Birdland lost a very good and kind man. Michael "Weams" Williams, Managing Editor of Orioles Hangout, passed away following a battle with stage-4 kidney cancer. He passed with his wife Denise by his side and with the joy of seeing the Baltimore Orioles defeat the New York Yankees by a score of 4-3.
Michael asked me to join him at Orioles Hangout a few years ago and told me that I was "hand-picked" by him to continue in his absence as he fought his illness. I was honored then and I am still honored by that. I am forever grateful to him for the opportunity he presented me with. (Site owner, Tony Pente, deserves my gratitude as well). My intention was only to keep Michael's seat warm and that he would beat the cancer and return to the Hangout, God had another plan, however.
I never met Michael in person, something I will forever regret, but his passing has affected me deeply. I truly am at a loss for words. We communicated via email and Twitter mainly, but I did have a telephone conversation with him back in July. We shared similar tastes in music and even had a Twitter exchange of Yes song lyrics. I will forever consider him a friend and will miss him dearly.
You may ask, "how can the loss of someone you never met affect you so?". Tony Pente's tribute to Michael explained how that could be very eloquently. Michael had that way about him to connect with everyone. He genuinely was a kind and good person, humanity needs more people like Michael Williams.
Birdland lost one of their most devout fans on Saturday night. Michael loved the Orioles but not more than he did love his wife Denise, who he met fittingly at an Oriole game. Fate has a way of making things like this happen.
Orioles Hangout will never fill the void left behind with Michael's passing. I know I will never be able to equal the standard he set for me; my goal now is to make him proud and live up to the confidence he had in me.
The outpouring of love and good thoughts for "Weams" are best read on this Forum thread at Orioles Hangout.
To Denise I want to send my deepest condolences, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
To Michael, Rest In Peace, my friend. Until we finally meet…..
Prayer for Eternal Rest (The Requiem Prayer)
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
~Amen~

Dokudami is a perennial herb native to Japan, China, and Korea. It has a long-standing culinary use in Asian cooking and has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic traditional medicine. It's believed to offer positive benefits to the immune system and respiratory tract. However, its ability to support detoxification makes it a perfect ingredient my detox foot pads.
Known by its scientific name, Houttuynia cordata, dokudami is a flowering plant native to Asia. Dokudami grows mostly in dark, moist areas, sometimes submerged deep in freshwater areas. An invasive plant, dokudami can be found growing on hills, fields, and even between cracks in asphalt. It's known as "fishy-smell herb" in Asia because when you press its leaves it produces an odor similar to that of fish. Dokudami also means "poison-blocking plant" in some cultures, and was often used for the exact same purpose. The leaves are heart shaped in appearance and used as a garnish for soups, meats, and cooked vegetables.
Researchers have examined the biological behavior of dokudami and extensive research has uncovered surprising revelations about its relation to human health.
Research has shown that dokudami may help support the immune system by stimulating the production of lymphocytes, white blood cells that are crucial for the body's natural defense system.  These white blood cells are sometimes referred to as natural killer cells, and a plethora of research has found that these cells are important for promoting good health. Dokudami, in this case, should be seen as merely a natural component in an overall healthy lifestyle. Exercise, a vegetarian diet, and plenty of sunshine and sleep are also instrumental for supporting immune system function.
Why Do My Detox Foot Pads Contain Organic Dokudami?
My Detox Foot Pads™ contain many valuable ingredients that support the body's natural detoxification process, and dokudami is one of the best. We've selected only high-quality ingredients and the importance of such standards cannot be understated. The natural components they contain are essential for effective cleansing and detoxing results. Dokudami offers potential benefits to the immune system, aging process, digestive system, and even skin health. What's your experience with dokudami? Please leave a comment below and share with us!

The case for Magento as a customer-friendly platform is continually growing, and with Magento 2 now released the case grows ever stronger. But the customer experience in an online business can only succeed with skilled developers on the back end to ensure the eCommerce store is working to its full potential. That's why we've asked our Magento developers for their opinions on the platform in an attempt to get an insight into what it's like to develop for. First up we speak to Chris Carr.
My name's Chris, and I develop modules for custom integrations into Magento, along with a bunch of other fun stuff (usually involving black screens with white writing).
People often ask me what the best eCommerce platform is, but unfortunately there's no definitive answer to this. I'd love to say Magento, but as we all know Magento cannot suit every customer's needs in the ever growing eCommerce industry.
So, when should Magento be used as an e-commerce soloution? From my experience working for PushON, I feel as though the biggest factor in deciding which platform is the most suitable is the size of the business. To keep it short, if you are a smaller business that is just starting up, do not have much experience with other eCommerce platforms but want to develop it yourself, do not choose Magento!
Yes, Magento is an amazing eCommerce platform, but in my opinion it was not designed to be user-friendly and easily understandable in the way, say, WordPress, is – it was designed to offer solutions for specialists who understand companies' business models and invest time and effort into generating a site which automates the process (via modules).
Magento has great built-in SEO features such as: Redirects; canonical/rel tags; and automatic meta information generation.
There's a huge marketplace with new features constantly being developed, whether you need a PageSpeed module, Schema plugin, or just to automatically make your site top rated, Magento has it.
All in all, Magento is a great eCommerce solution as long as the developers behind it are skilled and experienced. But please, if you have no experience with eCommerce, pick another boat or hire a professional developer or you might just get that sinking feeling.

Songs at the River's Edge - Stories from a Bangladeshi Village
Katy Gardner, 1997. Pluto Press. 164 pp. Hardcover. The first edition was published by Virago and has been out of print since 1993. USD39.95 from Barnes & Noble. To order this book online from Barnes&Noble, visit http://bicn.com/fwd/fwd2bnbook001.htm .
"Fascinating and full of detail, this story of Katy Gardner's life in a Bangladeshi village accessible and easy to read at many different levels. For anthropologists, it provides an essential account of starting research in someone else's society. For pleasure, it reads as a fine novel, and as a piece of travel writing, it is evocative and absorbing. Katy Gardner writes about the friends she made, the characters she met, the rituals she witnessed, about Islam as practiced in that village and about women living in purdah. She writes about trying, as a Western woman, to live the life of the village women. Her book is alive and memorable."
Living in the Fringe
By Gilles Saussier, assisted by Shah Alam Manik. ISBN 2-9512665-0-2. 137 pp. Cost Tk1950. Available from Mr Kashem's Rickshaw Books
Clearly the product of a passionate interest in the people of Bangladesh, and of extraordinary gifts for photographic portraiture and landscape photography as well. Gorgeous without being slick, the photographs and text work together to communicate the strength and dignity of the people of the fringe areas of Bangladesh, and the beauty of the harsh landscape in which they struggle to survive. From the forward by F.H. Ahbed, founder executive director BRAC.: "[Gille presents] photographed close-ups of people living in the fringe areas of Bangladesh, on the riverbed chars, in the haor basin, on the newly emerged lands of the Bay of Bengal. He does so with brief chronicles that at once give the reader authentic insights into their trials and tribulations, their dreams and hopes. ... By documenting their lives Gilles ... give[s] these people a face, a dignity, and an identity that they, on their own, so richly deserve."
Expatriate Games
by Mark Trenowden. Minerva Press 270pp. 198x129mm. Paperback. GBP12.99. ISBN: 0754111016. http://www.btintenet.com/~cricketboy/expat.htm
From the publisher: "A true story of the hardships, frustrations and fun experienced by a foreigner setting up home in Bangladesh, where making a simple telephone call is a ten-act drama and, blighted by a lethargic, bureaucratic environment, every day has its stresses. Whether you are a seasoned expat, soon to be posted abroad or just an armchair explorer, there will be plenty to entertain, terrify, and amuse you here. "
"...[D]escribes the visit to Bangladesh by the eponymous expatriates, an English/Canadian couple sent out on a two-year posting to work in the country. The work describes their efforts to go native, and the degree to which they achieve it. This means adjustment to a whole new way of doing business.
"The author's look at the country is both critical and sympathetic, any exasperation accompanied by a willingness to see people as individuals and to swallow any distaste one might feel towards practices of which one disapproves, over and above the necessity to get along. This is a factor that makes one sense that the author's look at his subject has been a fair one.
"The book is greatly enjoyable, readable and informative. The story ... offers a sympathetic portrait not only of a different country and its people but also the universals of human existence and interaction with which anyone [can] identify."

You may recall that a couple of weeks ago I took offence to the heat policy paper produced by Friends of the Earth (we also had a bit of a Twitter spat too, which was enlightening). Let me share with you some of the contents (adult content warning).
They believe all 24 million homes on gas should switch to heat pumps – they claim a cost of £9000 a property – I'll do the maths for you - £216 billion. I'm assuming they'll not ask the GDNs for any money given that FoE would have put them out of business!
But there's more. FoE estimate that bills will rise by £136 a year too – for 24 million households, that's an extra £3.25 billion a year (if the switch took place tomorrow, that's another £104 billion that consumers will have to fork out by 2050).
Now carbon emissions are a real threat to our global climate. Some communities will suffer severe consequences if we don't tackle the problem. But, and I know I've raised this before, if I had to spend £320 billion reducing emissions from a tiny fraction of 1 per cent of the world's total problem, I might be able to spend it a better way.
Helping Nepal develop its hydro-electricity potential, enabling one of the poorest countries in the world to have secure low carbon energy, would be a massive help in its development. Enabling it to sell that power to neighbouring India, reducing their appetite for coal, again a game-changer. All this bringing greater carbon reductions; at a lower cost whilst positively helping a low income country develop. Now that is a prize worthy of a global campaign. Let's look at the bigger picture.

Business News Watch Brands Join Forces For Geneva Watch Days
Vintage Watches A 1984 Rolex Explorer II With Cream Dial, A 1960s Aquastar 63, And A 1980s Heuer Yacht Timer
Hands-On A Quartz Crisis Casualty Revived! Say Hello To Excelsior Park
Bulgari, Breitling and other high-end brands will show their watches in the Swiss capital of watchmaking April 26-29.
Jon Bues
Following last week's cancellation of Watches & Wonders Geneva and the postponement of Baselworld until 2021 because of the coronavirus outbreak, a number of high-end Swiss watch brands announced today that they will show their watches in Geneva from April 26 to 29. The participating brands include a range of marques that have traditionally presented at SIHH and at Baselworld. They will be joined by Breitling, which had planned to go its own way with its Breitling Summit and subsequent local roadshows in 2020, as well as by Gérald Genta, a name that was fully absorbed into Bulgari watchmaking in 2010. Bulgari had formally withdrawn from Baselworld on February 11, ahead of the show's postponement late last week.
Baselworld and Watches & Wonders Geneva are both not taking place in 2020.
"Despite the cancellation of the two major watch fairs, it will allow retailers and media, primarily from Europe but not only, to discover, comment [on], and order the novelties of the founding brands, namely Breitling, Bulgari, Gérald Genta, Girard-Perregaux, MB&F, Ulysse Nardin, De Bethune, and Urwerk," said Bulgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin. "Besides these brands, we are currently in advanced discussions with several other important names, including Chopard and H. Moser & Cie., which we hope will be confirmed very soon. Plus some others which I'm sure will be interested after discovering our initiative," he added.
The list of eight founding brands draws from the ranks of LVMH, Kering, and independents. Bulgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin announced the initiative today on Swiss national television.
The Geneva Watch Days will not be a large gathering under a single roof, but rather a decentralized and self-managed event that will afford a good deal of discretion to the participating brands. Ulysse Nardin, for example, plans to turn its Geneva boutique into a showroom of sorts for the event. Moreover, a press release from Bulgari emphasized that the Geneva Watch Days would be in strict compliance with the Swiss Federal Council's February 28 decision regarding public gatherings, "as well as any future recommendations from the WHO and the Federal Council relating to the evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic currently affecting many countries." The press release added, "The State of Geneva, which is following the health situation as closely as possible, has given its full support to this initiative."
The Coronavirus has had widespread ramifications for a watch trade show calendar that was already in flux long before the outbreak in China began to spread to other countries, chief among them Italy, South Korea, and Iran. A press release provided by Bulgari, at whose initiative the new show has been created, said that "the Geneva Watch Days does not intend to substitute on the long term the historical Geneva Watches & Wonders and Baselworld Fairs but presents an efficient alternative at smaller scale, given the changing environment."

I am wondering how to solve this issue with ramp in. If I want to make ramp in on every level, it does it, but I would like that Z axis is going down from upper level to lover, without lifting Z, moving back and then applying new ramp for the next level. Z axis is making a kind of a loop, just to make same entry point. Basically what I am looking for is something what Aspire has as a ramp in. Is there a way to make it, or I don't see something what is obvious.
I assume, I was not clear enough. So here is a shot of what bothers me.
So, is there a way of preventing tool to go up every time it starts new level of cutting but continue new level with ramp in?
You using tapered tool. For next level cutting it should be raised first, then shifted inside for range depends of taper.
RC 2016 has option "Keep tool down" but i not sure it can help you.
Regardless of the tool, it does the same. Keep tool down is function in pocketing operation. I was referring to profile cutting.
I start understand. You need doing ramp without departure section.
It's impossible. Approach/departure is part of cycle begin-end.
You may only reduce it by choosing Skim in clearance geometry.
