When NAMICS seeks our healthy and continuous growth, we expect each one of us to decide our course of action upholding social responsibility. We value and fully practice our CSR strategy in all corporate activities: environmental conservation; global supply system; corporate compliance; and ethical conduct. We are committed to continuing to align our business with CSR and improve our CSR strategy through periodic reviews.
As NAMICS seeks growth, our corporate philosophy "Mutual prosperity to both nature and humankind through creativity, innovation, and sensitivity" and our fundamental management principle "Be the only one and number one company in the electro-chemical material field" act together as the essential tools which provide our sense of direction.
The company also updates our mid-term business plan every 3 years to enable us to act promptly to respond to possible changes both in the market environment and in internal aspects.
We believe that social responsibility means that we grow continuously and robustly upholding our corporate values: "Self-reliance, Self-motivation and Self-help" for an individual; and "NAMICS WAY" for a team. We share a clear and persistent sense of direction and maintain a course which represents our fundamental business objective, while always being ready to respond to change.
Furthermore, our responsibility includes our continuous efforts toward the improvement of our CSR strategy by carefully evaluating the target areas, goals, and framework in a timely manner.
Smartphones and tablet PCs have become the social infrastructure of our times. Our advanced materials, providing robustness even under severe conditions, are chosen for the automotive field to mount sensors and other various electronic components to enhance the safety of the vehicle. NAMICS also contributes to achieving power-saving, energy-saving, miniaturization, and improved performance by providing highly functional products.
As the electro-chemical market expands, NAMICS contributes to enhanced safety and environmentally-friendly solutions in the automotive market. In the area of energy, we provide solutions to the issues of finite resources and environmental conservation. However, there are many issues still remaining to be solved in the world, such as environmental conservation and protecting human rights, before we can create a sustainable society.
NAMICS has addressed the global issue of conflict-minerals from an early stage in compliance with the RBA Code of Conduct.
In order to respond to overseas business development, we focus on globally-competent human resource development. Respecting people's diverse backgrounds and values, we share our corporate philosophy and sense of direction through personnel exchanges between our Japanese and overseas hub sites. We carry out various initiatives to further grow as an established global corporation to better serve society with the best value.
For example, through hosting regular web/phone meetings and other forms of interaction, we exchange information regularly with overseas offices. We also provide language training designed for business communication to proactively support our people in order to expand their horizons and develop their confidence in conducting global business.
Furthermore, the company identified that maintaining a globally stable and continuous product supply is one of our major challenges. In order to demonstrate our stable product supply even in disasters or other emergency situations, we have expanded and improved our overseas production hubs. We conduct our business uniformly based on our corporate philosophy and fundamental management principles throughout the entire corporation in all regions and countries where we operate.
Atthesametime,we also consider and manage risks to a stable product supply. Among them, we especially evaluate and identify the risks that can interrupt production and regularly review and report on them during structured management meetings. Additionally, in order to respond to our customers and provide social trust, we are strengthening our business continuity management in conjunction with the overseas production hubs through training on a regular basis.
Even though approximately 80% of NAMICS' sales are derived from the overseas, we value sustainable and mutual growth together with the local communities where we actually operate. We have actively engaged in community-based activities that contribute to society, offering support both materially and morally. Hosting a youth development program, actively participating in local traditional events, and sponsoring local professional sports teams are just some examples.
Most importantly, we aspire to social development which enhances mutual prosperity in the local community through our sound and stable business activities.
We are determined to contribute to benefits for the whole society through our business activities and products, and to carry out initiatives in Niigata and all other communities where we operate, whereby we pursue the greater trust and support of the community.
Stably supplying products and services which provide social benefit with full consideration of quality, safety, and environmental impact.
Expanding business in a way that leads to community development by respecting local and global business traditions and practices.

At NAMICS, we focus on developing environmentally-friendly products such as lead-free products which mitigate the use of environment-hazardous lead, long-life products which reduce waste, and RoHS compliant products which contain no harmful materials. For example, we are putting our efforts into the development of solar battery electrode materials for solar cells, to achieve higher efficiency at lower cost.
The whole production process, from receiving raw materials to shipping products, is strictly controlled by the latest system. Thus, we demonstrate our stable supply of highly reliable products with minimal quality variance. We also put our efforts toward developing new technologies by best utilizing our two core technologies of material (insulating and conductive) and process (composition and dispersion) technologies, along with simulation technology (material and structural analyses) in our research and development facility with the latest equipment and devices. Thus, we contribute to safe and environmentally-friendly product development.
NAMICS is striving for environmental conservation and to establish a global supply system so that even in emergency situations such as a disaster, we are able to maintain our sustainable product supply. We are expanding and improving our overseas production base to allow us to flexibly respond to the changing environment. We ensure our new production facilities are designed to deliver high production efficiency.

NAMICS carries out various initiatives in Niigata, where the company was founded, and other hubs, striving for mutual success with the local community.
NAMICS conducts the local cleanup project regularly in all company sites and their vicinities. Over 140 employees participated in the last project and they contributed to the clean community where we operate by picking up even trash hidden behind bushes. We are committed to continuing to promote and create a clean and pleasant neighborhood environment as a member of the community.
Joining the Niigata summer festival folk dance parade held every August has become the company tradition since 2007. Every year, more than 100 employees and their family members enjoy dance in the original company Yukata costume, showcasing NAMICS' presence in the community. We will continue to participate in the event as our contribution to passing down the local traditions for years to come.
Every year, NAMICS sponsors and takes part in the annual Kids Science Festival for nurturing children's interest and curiosity in science. We offered hands-on projects through science experiments for children in the event. Participating children were all seemsed to be excited to experience changing states of materials: mixing certain kinds of liquid making gel; heat shrinking a plastic plate into a smaller piece; and ultra-violet light changing liquid into solid. This is a part of our continuous efforts toward the development of local youth. We are determined, through such hands-on science activities, to inspire interest and curiosity in science in local youth, contributing to the development of creative minds who will lead the next-generation society.
During the 44th National Convention on Blood Donation Promotion, NAMICS was honored with a letter of appreciation from the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare. We are proud that our continuous and proactive effort toward promoting blood donation over the years was highly acknowledged by society.
NAMICS CORPORATION opened an in-house nursery school, "Ebigase Nursery School AMIC", at Ebigase Higashi-ku, Niigata-City on April 1, 2016.
The school has been operating as a "Regional Childcare Business" based on the "Parenting Support Package".
We contribute to the community by allocating a part of the capacity of the school to local non-emplyees' children.
We encourage the development of self-initiative, cooperativeness, and communication, while promoting bright healthy growth in order to eventually create the full joy of attending school such as " I want to go to school to play every day".
Promoting Sports:We proudly support the local professional sports team, Albirex!
We contribute to promoting sports by supporting the local professional sports team, Albirex.
Through the local sports promotion, we engage in local youth development programs to foster the importance of having a dream and a goal to achieve, to nurture the value of continuous effort, and to inspire the spirit of fair play as a development of children for the next generation.
With approximately 80% of NAMICS' sales derived from overseas, global business responses are becoming essential business activities for us. Our goals are to continuously provide value-added products, to further win the trust of our global customers, and to establish mutual success based on "harmonious coexistence between nature and humankind".
The company believes that development of globally-competent human resources is the key to better serve our global customers as we expand globally. We support our people to further enhance their capability in global responses and to develop their sense of global perspective by strategically transferring or sending them to our overseas hub sites. We also provide language learning opportunities for our people such as study abroad and short-term seminars as a part of the globalization program. Thus, we are putting our efforts into improving our foreign language proficiency to respond to the rapid expansion of globalization.
We continuously focus on developing a framework which allows equal and necessary learning opportunities for our people in and outside of Japan while enhancing personnel exchanges between overseas hub sites.
NAMICS provides opportunities and an environment at all of our sites across the globe where our all employees can take pride in being part of the NAMICS team and take initiative to achieve higher goals both as an individual and a team.
NAMICS acquired ISO14001 certification in November 2003 with successful implementation of an environment management system for a structural approach to environmental activities. We will continue to proactively put our efforts into environmental conservation activities such as an efficient utilization of finite fuel resources and prevention of global warming through reduction of CO2 emissions, demonstrating that we are a company friendly to people as well as to the global environment.
We are putting our efforts into a reduction and a reuse of waste resources. Waste plastics, for example, are recycled after an incineration treatment as roadbed materials. Waste solvent is thermally recycled. Thus, we are focusing on reusing waste resources to maintain a recycling rate over 99%.
The company strives for energy efficiency in daily usage by setting a guideline in addition to the annual target.
Some of our achievements in energy usage reduction include radiation reduction enabled by applying films on the glass surfaces, and a daily-energy-consumption-volume reduction from 432 Kw to 389 Kw by reducing indoor heat release and using inverters in two circulating fluid systems of pumps.
The company purchases production materials with a small environmental load, including raw materials, containers, and packages, in order to provide environmentally-friendly products.
With the cooperation of our partner suppliers, in 2005 we conduct inspections for chemical substances contained in production materials according to the "NAMICS green purchasing standards" which set the internal criteria of chemical substances.
The demand to be compliant with the restriction of chemical substances contained in the products has been continuously increasing across the globe. To meet the demand, we continue to focus on maintaining and developing further reliable management of chemicals contained in products through constantly collecting the latest information.
NAMICS Group is committed to preventing any water contamination occurrence in public water areas. Waste water is strictly controlled and treated in a waste water treatment facility. We are fully compliant with the related laws and regulations. The waste water treatment facility is regularly inspected and fixed whenever necessary, to ensure stable operation. Additionally, we monitor and test the water quality to comply with the effluent standards.
We also take the initiative with a focus on mitigating and preventing air pollution by monitoring each particulate concentration of Sox, Nox, and particulates in the mouth of exhaust ducts.
We provide environmental education and trainings to all employees, aiming for sharing and raising awareness of our corporate philosophy and our mission for environmental conservation.
In addition to our basic and specialist trainings on the environment, the importance of managing chemical substances contained in the products is also taught based on the guidelines for the management of chemical substances in products.
The company also provides trainings to responsible personnel about risk assessment, safety, and handling of hazardous and toxic substances and organic solvents. We strive for maintaining and further improving a secure and safe working environment.


This is a guest post from Karen at Frugal Rhode Island Mama, where she blogs about weekly deals/sales/freebies. Last week, Karen gave some advice for making money with online surveys. This is part two.
Opinion Outpost – Each qualified survey is worth points and 10 points equals $1.00. Once you have 50 points or $5.00 you can request a check. The checks take a few weeks. I've been paid several times from them and I've never had a problem. If you don't qualify you'll get to choose between a chance for an instant win of $50 or a sweepstakes entry. You won't receive points for the surveys you don't qualify for.
Survey Spot – Each survey is either worth cash or a sweepstakes entry. They send out several emails a day/week with survey opportunities. The email will always tell you what you will get for taking the survey. Myself along with others I know that have worked with Survey Spot find that when you join they will send you mostly sweepstakes entry surveys but after you take a bunch of them, you will begin to get paid surveys as well. Once your account reaches $5.00 you can request a check.
My Survey – Each survey is worth points and 100 points = $1.00. You will get 10 points for every screener you take and then if you qualify to go onto the survey they will tell you how many points you'll receive for completing it. They also have monthly sweepstakes drawings for active members. Once you reach 1000 points ($10.00) you can cash out and receive a check or you can choose prizes. I always get the check and it usually takes a few weeks.
If you take a survey ONE day that pays $1.00, after a month you'd have an extra $30.00 in your pocket. That will fill up your gas tank and get you a soda! Not bad for about 20 minutes a day of time you'd probably be spending online anyway!
Karen lives in Rhode Island with her husband and two daughters. Besides being a frugal stay at home mom, she blogs at http://www.frugalrimama.com about weekly deals/sales/freebies and more. In her spare time she enjoys taking surveys and doing some mystery shopping. You can see a list of Karen's survey earnings on her blog.
Online Surveys – Do They Really Pay?
This is a guest post from Karen at Frugal Rhode Island Mama, where she blogs about weekly deals/sales/freebies.
Big name companies want and need to know your opinions, and what better way to get them than to have consumers take surveys? When they have a new product they need someone to test it out or when they want to change a product, they need to find out what the best way is to change it. The consumers wants and needs are their main concern and what better way to get it, then directly from the consumers?
If you do a Google search for surveys you'll come up with tons and tons of companies but the question is, are they really surveys? The answer to that question is NO they aren't all real. You need to take a close look at each company before you sign up because some of them lead you on and make you think you'll be taking surveys for BIG companies but you probably won't be.
I've done a lot of research and I've found a bunch of companies that really do PAY for your opinion and some even send you free products to test and then report back. Every person's success is different with taking surveys and it really depends on so many factors.
One important thing is your background. Not everyone is compatible to take every survey. It may depend on your job, your age, your gender, your ethic background and so many more reasons. It's OK if you don't qualify for every survey. Certain companies may work better for some people then others, again it depends on your background and what kind of companies they work with.


Data breach protection services: Taxable in Canada?
A recent IRS announcement raises questions about how Canadian tax authorities will treat the free data protection services that organizations often provide in order to mitigate data breaches.
The new tort of "intrusion upon seclusion", which provides a cause of action to those whose privacy has been breached, was given new teeth this month by the certification of a class action against the Bank of Nova Scotia and its employee, Richard Wilson.


Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is done to help eliminate puffiness and bags under the lower eyelids and remove hooded or sagging skin from the upper eyelids for a more youthful appearance. If your upper eyelid skin is interfering with your line of vision, insurance may cover this procedure.
Individuals living with excess skin on their upper or lower eyelids, or who have puffy eyelids that cause them to appear tired and aged may be able to benefit from a blepharoplasty. Those in good general health who are nonsmokers are the best candidates for this procedure. A consultation with Dr. Ehrmantraut can help to determine if this procedure is right for you.
A blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. During an upper eyelid procedure, an incision will be created at the natural eyelid crease. Excess skin, muscle, and fat will then be removed. During a lower eyelid surgery, an incision will be created just below the eyelashes. Repositioning or removing excess skin and fat will take place, and the lower eyelid muscle will be tightened. Because incisions are created in the natural eye fold and creases, they are virtually invisible after they are healed.
Following blepharoplasty surgery, redness, swelling, and bruising may occur. Excessive tearing, sensitivity to light, and double vision may also occur right after surgery and should resolve with time. Pain medication can be taken for any discomfort. Icing the area around the eyes or on the eyelids may help to reduce any swelling. Physical activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for three to four weeks following surgery, though many patients are able to return to work after about 10 days.
If you are interested in learning about how blepharoplasty surgery can benefit you, contact our Maryland office today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ehrmantraut. We serve patients in the southern Maryland, Annapolis and Arlington, VA areas.


The Prezi editor is where you can build, share, and present your presentation. It is divided into three main components that are intuitively designed for ease in creation and collaboration.
Whether you use Prezi Next online or the desktop app, the experience is mostly the same. The slight difference is the app menu located at the very top of your screen in the desktop app. You can use the app menu instead of the top toolbar as an alternative way to add content.
This is where you can build and customize your presentation. From here, you can access additional options in the hamburger menu, change the title, and add content. It is also where you can present, share, and collaborate.
This toolbar changes depending on what you are editing in your presentation. You can use it to format text, edit the style and color of objects on your canvas, and add animations.
The left sidebar allows you to add topics and subtopics to your presentation. It also provides a preview of the order your content will appear and automatically changes to show where you are in your presentation's structure.
From here you can click on a thumbnail to navigate to specific content, or click and drag to reorder your topics and subtopics.


Actor Purab Kohli, who is a travel junkie, has been appointed the digital ambassador of a new product launch -- Multi-Currency Forex Card -- by Axis Bank.
While Deepika Padukone is the main ambassador of Axis Bank, Purab has been roped in as the face of a new digital campaign to promote the new offering.
Purab and Deepika have previously worked and endorsed Nescafe together, the advertisements of which were widely appreciated.
"Axis is the market leader when it comes to Forex cards so it feels great to be associated with them. Also nice to be endorsing a brand back again with Deepika, though we are not in the same films together and endorsing different aspects of the brand," he said of his latest association.
As part of this, Purab stars in a video campaign, a description of which reads on YouTube: "Sometime unpleasant things happen when you travel abroad. Bags do get stolen or lost. But thankfully you don't have to worry about that any longer, because help is just a phone call away when you have the Axis Bank Multi-Currency Forex Card.
"Watch as Purab Kohli fills you in on what to do when your trip doesn't go exactly as planned."
Is the Snapdeal-Flipkart deal crumbling after six months of hard negotiations?


Daisy Meadows is a beautiful property located in Southeastern Oklahoma. This beautiful property offers views of the surrounding mountains within this valley. There is perfect mixture of trees and pasture. Several tree lined creeks traverse this property and there are several nice ponds great for livestock. This was an old working farm and several tracts have dilapidated out buildings, storage barns and wooden horse corrals. The land is mostly level to rolling in nature. Wildlife is abundant within this valley due to the great cover and plentiful water sources throughout the property. Larger tracts would be ideal for hunting camps or various recreational opportunities. The smaller tracts would be suitable for that weekend cabin or the retirement home you've dreamed of building.
Daisy Meadows is the perfect place to build a permanent home. Not only is the land beautiful, but you'll also have access to all the necessary utilities. Phone and electrical service are available. Water would require you to drill a domestic well on your property or you could setup a storage system. For wastewater disposal, you can install an individual septic system. Power will need to be extended to each tract of land at the owner's expense. Please contact the county or local providers for current requirements or permits needed. All tracts have either unmaintained dirt road or maintained gravel county road frontage.
Guaranteed financing is available -- with discounts for cash purchases. Easy, in-house financing is available directly through our company -- with NO credit check required!

Over the past decades Uri Dushy has been investigating the origins of art. In his own way he insists upon joining and creating within artistic genres unprecedented to him, provocatively challenging, mastering and adopting technical production processes. There is a considerable amount of daring – at times bordering on the naive – in the manner by which Uri Dushy copes with the challenges he undertakes. Perhaps in this course of his lies the key to understanding his success in the field of Israeli public art and the international exhibition establishments frequented by his works over the last decades.
Genuine and profound love of the creation process along with true inspiration from both classic and current artwork characterize Uri Dushy's works. Dushy appreciates beauty and aesthetics, believing that it is his professional responsibility to contribute to their existence in the world. Uri Dushy's sculptures consist of five main series, along with his photo collage and painting artworks. The first and main series includes the public sculptures permanently positioned across cities and parks in Israel. Uri Dushy's work does not confine itself to the limits of his private studio, but rather exits into the public realm – into open sites frequented by bypassers and members of the community who are not necessarily familiar with museums and galleries.
His public art works are colorful, positive, understandable and intended for the eyes of all people, thus contributing to their cheerful outlook. It can be said that the works reflect a positive inspiration sent from the artist to his audience, which returns the positive energy that contributes to the continuity of the artist's creation. These projects included the urban landscape sculptures took place in over a dozen cities across Israel, among which are Ashkelon, Holon, Petach-Tikva, Jerusalem, Rishon Le Zion, Ra'anana and more.
The second series is that of unique wall sculptures consisting of two-dimensional clusters of figures in animated order that creates the illusion of movement. The animation-like movement, which advances along the sculpture's space, presents a narrative image situated in different urban environments. The third series includes small sized interior metal sculptures. Each figure is represented as a two-dimensional silhouette situated in its own sculptural environment, a base of stone or a variety of other materials, upon which it plays out its role in the narrative.
The three dimensional bronze sculptures make up the fourth series. The added dimension enriches the figures with nuances which don't exist in the two-dimensional works. There is an element of freshness in the altered use he makes of the daily and realistic symbols he chooses. The virtual sculpture project, "Status", presents the fifth series which includes 2 meter high mixed media figures that expose their extreme emotional states while conducting a dialogue with classical sculpting theories.

When I started adding things to the ROM disk, I didn't realize that my 10MB+ .elf file would be problematic (i.e. not load) on the Dreamcast. Also it's been mentioned in a forum topic that loading a romdisk instead of multiple files would be faster. I also think that it could be a neat way to handle/manage your memory altogether.
In your Makefile, duplicate the usual romdisk generation command but change the romdisk name and directory. I also added GZip compression.
$(KOS_GENROMFS) -f romdisk_name.img -d path/to/romdisk_folder -v  # <- this is your new romdisk, replace the romdisk_name and romdisk_folder with what you want.
Note: the leading whitespace consists of a tab, not spaces.
It is important that your mount point start with a '/' -> "/level1" and not "level1"

DHR Home > Historic Registers > Martinsville (Ind. City), VLR Online & National Register Listings
120-5001 Martinsville Historic District
Henry County Courthouse -- photo credit: Brad McDonald/DHR, 2019
See link(s) below to view additional documentation.
NRHP Reference Number 98001317; BC100008501
The Martinsville Historic District encompasses the historic core of the city, a tobacco, furniture, and textile manufacturing center in the southern Virginia Piedmont and the seat of Henry County. Martinsville's historic buildings date from the 1820s through the post-World War II period. The first boom of development occurred when the Danville & Western Railroad (completed in 1883) and the Norfolk and Western Railroad (completed in 1892) allowed greater access to Martinsville's commercial and industrial potential. The 45-acre downtown historic district features the Henry County Courthouse, historic retail establishments, professional businesses, banks, hotels, theatres, social lodges, factories, and warehouses. Reflecting the city's position and prosperity as the center of regional government, commerce, industry, and transportation, the buildings within the Martinsville Historic District were designed in a range of popular late-19th- and 20th-century architectural styles and building materials.
At the time that an updated nomination for the Martinsville Historic District was approved in 2022, the district remained largely unchanged from its original listing in 1998, with the exception of redevelopment along the western edge of the district, which resulted in a boundary reduction. In a separate action, the district's boundaries were increased to include several historic commercial buildings, which were constructed just outside the original period of significance for the district, or had been altered with mid-20th century façade improvements. These buildings, and in many cases their alterations, have become significant in their own right.
[VLR Approved: 9/15/2022; NRHP Approval: 12/27/2022]

Q: Creating a Notification-Handling App for a Custom Smartwatch on Windows Phone 8.x using C# I found this website which demonstrates a really cool custom smartwatch that uses Bluetooth LE to comunicate with a smartphone. The only problem is that the only smartphones it supports are iOS devices. So I decided to make a Windows Phone app for it. My trouble now is that I can't find any way to receive notifications from other apps such as Messages, Facebook, and Email. Does anyone know how to do this? I searched MSDN but I could only find ways to receive your own notifications.
Thanks

A: As far as i know this is the only way.

Report: Facebook Allowed Advertisers to Target 'Jew Haters'
Win McNamee/Getty Images
Facebook has been allowing advertisers to target advertisements towards anti-Semitic users, according to a report.
According to investigative news outlet ProPublica, advertisers were able to target "Jew haters" and people who had interest in topics such as "How to burn Jews" and "History of 'why Jews ruin the world.'"
"Until this week, when we asked Facebook about it, the world's largest social network enabled advertisers to direct their pitches to the news feeds of almost 2,300 people who expressed interest in the topics of 'Jew hater,' 'How to burn jews,' or, 'History of 'why jews ruin the world,'" ProPublica reported. "To test if these ad categories were real, we paid $30 to target those groups with three 'promoted posts' — in which a ProPublica article or post was displayed in their news feeds. Facebook approved all three ads within 15 minutes."
"After we contacted Facebook, it removed the anti-Semitic categories — which were created by an algorithm rather than by people — and said it would explore ways to fix the problem, such as limiting the number of categories available or scrutinizing them before they are displayed to buyers," they continued.
In a statement, Rob Leathern, product management director at Facebook, claimed, "There are times where content is surfaced on our platform that violates our standards."
"In this case, we've removed the associated targeting fields in question," Leathern proclaimed. "We know we have more work to do, so we're also building new guardrails in our product and review processes to prevent other issues like this from happening in the future."
In ProPublica's investigation, 2,274 people fell under the "Jew hater" demographic, while other categories included "German Schutzstaffel," "NaziParty," and "Hitler did nothing wrong."

The BEST episodes written by James Komack
#1 - Unidentified Flying Uncle Martin
My Favorite Martian - Season 1 - Episode 29
Martin needs to fly his space ship, which is deteriorating due to inertia. Tim's fear is realized: Martin's flight is spotted as a UFO. Martin needs to take another flight, but Mrs. Brown calls in the authorities - Jack and Jim being their representatives - who use Tim and Martin's apartment as a sighting station. Martin uses the opportunity to take his second flight since Jack and Jim have equipment - a plutron counter - that would be able to locate the space ship parked in the garage. The plutron counter does go off, but Martin slips some plutron into Mrs. Brown's apron pocket, making the plutron counter point in Mrs. Brown's direction. Jack and Jim think the machine has gone haywire. During Jim and Jack's kafuffle with Mrs. Brown, Martin slips away. While in flight, Tim further distracts Jack and Jim with a spoon dangling outside on their tree, which through Jack and Jim's telescope will look like a flying saucer. Martin takes his flight undetected and gets back to the apartment safe and sound. To further protect himself, Martin exposes Tim as the perpetrator of the flying saucer hoax - all in the name of getting a news story - with the spoon on the string as his proof of his claim.
#2 - New Suit
Chico and the Man - Season 1 - Episode 4
Ed does not want to attend his former Army reunion.
#3 - Pilot
Conservative elderly man Ed Brown meets a Chicano man who rides in Ed's garage on a bike, looking for a job. After a day of persuasion, Ed agrees to give Chico a job as his mechanic.
#4 - How Are You Gonna Keep Them Down on the Pharmacy?
The Earthly environment is causing a vitamin deficiency in Martin. He draws on energy and vitamins from everything and everyone around him. The effect on things is for them to go haywire. And if people look him in the eyes, they will fall asleep since they are sapped of their energy. Martin needs some vitamins immediately or else he will grow weaker and weaker to the point of no return. Luckily, the vitamins he needs can be found at any pharmacy, however by prescription. Also it's Sunday and all the stores are closed. But Tim convinces his good friend, Doc Mullen, to open his pharmacy. Martin's plan is that he will try and get the necessary vitamins while Tim distracts Doc Mullen. It does the trick and Martin starts on the course of his vitamins. However, Martin's illness is contagious and Tim gets it, which in turn causes Mrs. Brown, Doc Mullen and then Martin to fall asleep, with no more vitamins from Martin's stash to use. Thus Tim has to wake them all up without Tim or Martin in particular not to look at each other, as that will cause them both to fall asleep forever. With a lot of effort, Tim and Martin manage to do it as well as get the necessary refill of vitamins from Doc Mullen. Although Martin manages to get re-energized by the concoction, he is over-energized due to a higher than required dose, which in turn causes everyone else around him to feel over-energized. This can be cured by a good old everyday nap.
#5 - Never Trust a Naked Martian
Despite warnings, Tim touches Martin's antennae — and disappears.
#6 - Uncle Martin's Broadcast
Tim discovers that Martin's antennae act just like Earthly antennae: he can pick up radio and television signals among other things. Tim decides that while Martin's asleep, he's going to tune into the police frequency for a newspaper scoop. He hears about a robbery, and follows up with a telephone call to the police to find out more information. However the police decide to pick up both Tim and Martin since Tim had just a little too much information, information that only the police or the perpetrators of the crime would know about. Detective Sergeant Seeley, the lead investigator, thinks Tim is committing crimes so that he can report on them. Seeley can keep Tim and Martin in custody for 48 hours without charging them. Martin decides that this is just a little too risky since he has no real Earthly identity, such as a fingerprint, and thus decides to break out of jail, leaving Tim behind. Tim is scared, but Martin goes to the scene of the crime to see if he can figure out who the real criminals are. He picks up clues that lead to Jim and Harry, two lowlifes at a waterfront bar. However reading their minds, Martin ascertains that there was a third party involved, that person being Seeley, who needed a major case to boost his career. Martin returns to the police station and makes a confession, that confession being exactly what Seeley is thinking. Seeley buckles under the pressure and confesses. One would think that Tim would learn from this experience, but later tries once again to turn on Radio Martin while Martin's asleep. However Martin is a little brighter and has locked his radio while he's asleep.
#7 - Extra! Extra! Sensory Perception!
My Favorite Martian - Season 2 - Episode 6

Not wanting to see the American government waste $2 billion, Tim writes himself a fake letter to the newspaper which includes Martin's nighttime musings; Tim thinks Martin's mumblings are key to the flaw in the space program. Based on the fake letter, Tim writes a newspaper story criticizing the wasted $2 billion. Tim's masquerade is uncovered by the government, agents for whom think he's a spy working for the Russians. Tim is questioned under a lie detector, and he fails miserably when it comes to questions about Martin. So the agents call in Martin, the agents who question him under the lie detector, under hypnosis, and through brainwashing. Martin overcomes each, to him, primitive method. But he can't overcome the truth serum, and he spills the beans about being a Martian. It isn't until then that the agents let Tim and Martin go. They figure that Martin is crazy and delusional, which is causing stress on Tim which in turn made him write the letter.
#10 - Rx for a Martian
Martin has a 10 hour window of opportunity to make it home since Mars has deviated from its regular orbit temporarily and is closer to Earth than usual. Just as he is about to leave, he slips down the stairs and sprains his ankle and disappearing antenna. Mrs. Brown immediately calls an ambulance. They rush him to the hospital since his vital signs aren't "human". Martin does all he can to have normal human vital signs. He passes that test, but when the doctor requires a fluoroscope, Martin is worried since the gamma rays from it will make him explode. Tim manages to take the fluoroscope for Martin, but the doctors keep Martin to figure out why the scan shows he has the body of a 20-year-old. With one hour to spare, Martin regains the use of his disappearing antenna and escapes from the hospital. Just as he is ready to leave for the second time, Martin slips down the stairs again and sprains his other ankle. Nothing can help him this time and he misses his opportunity to get home.
#11 - Poor Little Rich Cat
The stupidest idea Martin has heard of since he's been on Earth: Rosemary Willis leaving her cat, Max, $650,000 in her will. Morton Beanbecker, the lawyer for the estate, is threatening Tim with a lawsuit if he continues to editorialize about the stupidity of the will and deceased Rosemary Willis. However, Beanbecker also mentions that Mrs. Willis wrote a subsequent will leaving her estate to a children's orphanage, that will which was either never signed or hidden. Martin reads his mind that he really wants the second will to be found despite his threatening words to Tim. Tim and Martin find out that Max's trustees are Rosemary's sister, Aggie, and Aggie's husband, Charles. As Aggie and Charles are lavishing money on Max and themselves in the process, Martin and Tim think Aggie and Charles hid the second will. However Max tells Martin himself that he is miserable with all the money, and it was he himself who hid the second will only because Rosemary did forget to sign it. Max leads Martin to the will. Beanbecker and Martin pour through legal books to find precedent to overturn the first will, without success. As Aggie says she hears from Rosemary in her sleep, they decide to hold a séance, where Rosemary - really Martin - will tell Aggie that she wants the money turned over to the orphanage. The ever obliging younger sister Aggie does as she's told.
#12 - Uncle Martin's Wisdom Tooth
A toothache of his "eye" tooth causes "eye" problems for Martin: he can't see. Tim takes him to see his dentist, although Martin doesn't have typical human teeth. He needs dental expertise and some dental powder without the dentist actually examining him, which is why dentist-phobic Tim takes the place in the dental chair. The remedy causes Martin's eye teeth to go crossed eyed, as does his vision. The only answer is tooth extraction.
#13 - The Letter
Chico and the Man - Season 1 - Episode 10
Chico wants to participate with his cousin's business in New York.
#14 - There is No Cure for the Common Martian
Martin comes down with a common cold, which is not so common but rather debilitating for Martians. Meanwhile Tim is sent to Trimbles Department Store to review their outer space exhibit. Trimble, a major advertiser in The Sun, tries to buy and bully for a good review, despite the display showing every unfounded stereotype of life on other planets. Tim knows the display to be total fantasy. But he doesn't get a chance to write the review as he inadvertently takes one of Martin's sleep inducing cold tablets and falls asleep. To submit the review by deadline, Martin writes the review based on his own personal experience of what is true to life on Mars. Trimble is livid and wants Mr. Burns to fire Tim unless Tim apologizes and writes a retraction; Mr. Burns is willing to do so. Tim is going to do as Trimble and Burns wants if only to keep his job and keep from financial bankruptcy, but Martin doesn't want him to compromise what he knows to be right and wrong. Tim does stand up to Trimble and Trimble keeps to his threat until Trimble's usually mild mannered daughter, Gloria, takes her cue from Tim's moxie and stands up to her father about the quality of the exhibit. Trimble changes his tune as he admires the stand up quality of his daughter.
#15 - Who's Got the Power?
During an electrical storm, Martin gets an affliction called popsy, which causes him to appear and disappear uncontrollably. With Tim's help, Martin needs to long ground himself electrically to cure the popsy. Just as he does so, Mrs. Brown drops by and accidentally completes the grounding. In doing so, she gets Martin's levitation power. Martin temporarily fixes the symptom of appearing and disappearing by a concoction of household cleaners. But that is only in a need to get his levitation powers back from Mrs. Brown, which requires an electrically charged transfer. With much maneuvering and wiring and some hand holding (to control Mrs. Brown's levitation, but which she construes as Martin being affectionate with her), Martin manages to do the transfer successfully. After that, Martin and Tim need to try the grounding procedure once again. Just as they are about to do it, Mrs. Brown comes by once again, which Martin and Tim think will cause the transfer of the levitation power all over again. But Mrs. Brown fakes them out - this time, she doesn't cause a problem, and Martin's popsy is finally cured.

Photo by James BunoanMine was a Schwinn Stingray; metal-flake blue with a banana seat and a chunky five-speed steel stick shift attached crotch-high to the frame so as to ensure ease of shifting and the probability of extreme groinal malfeasance.
I loved that bike. All kids loved their bikes back then: the '60s, the '70s. Back then, bikes were freedom, freedom to leave the neighborhood, to get yourself to school and back, to push off from your porch some weekend morning with the promise of returning just in time for dinner. A bike was rebellion and maturity, adventure and responsibility, and thus Christmas' Holy Grail.
According to the National Bicycle Dealers Association, youth bikes make up just a quarter of all the bikes sold in the United States. Most bikes are bought by and for adults. Mountain bikes are the most popular, and then there are comfort bikes with large padded seats for large padded seats, as well as specialty bikes for triathalons, racing and fitness. In fact, a major cause for one-time king of the hill Schwinn's two bankruptcies over the past 10 years is that the company failed to see which way the trend was heading—continued to follow the youth market at the expense of marketing to grown-ups.
Now, you know the theories: kids have too many options now, kids have too little muscle mass now; it's the kid-stealing kooks; it's the kid-shooting kids; it's a different world, too dangerous; it's the same old world, too dangerous.
But is our children's lethargy their fault? Any parent, or anyone who knows a parent with kids today, knows the rules of the game have changed. A kid out of sight is a kid in absolute peril. The idea of children getting themselves to a park unsupervised to play their own, unsupervised games seems as antiquated today as Pokmon cards.
Abeles grew up in Huntington Beach. His was a Schwinn Stingray; metal-flake blue with a banana seat but no gear shift since it was a girl's bike, a hand-me-down from his sister.
He rode that bike everywhere, whether it was racing other dudes or riding the five miles to Sav-On.
Which probably explains why Albi expects his big kids' seller this Christmas to be a freestyle bike—a bike designed for stunts, like a skateboard. And, like a skateboard, the bike is not designed for long-distance trips, just for doing stunts, like, right in front of your house.
"We call it a 'neighborhood bike,'" Albi said.
Bogeyman fears aside, there are some very big reasons parents are cautious—giant SUVs and other behemicles creating an ever-dwindling road space.
"There are too many big cars with too many aggressive drivers," said Fred Clements, executive director of the National Bicycle Dealers Association. Fred's was a drop-handle 10-speed that he once rode with friends all the way to Tijuana. These days, he drives his kids to school.
And even if a kid has a bike, where's he or she going to ride? Any codger who grew up in the '70s or '80s will tell you that even decent-sized cities always had spots to ride unencumbered by traffic. Of course, the best of those were the new developments, with their big dirt hills. Of course, the same developments, once built, were to limit even more where kids could ride.
Which is a nice way of seeing a flat tire as half-inflated. Either way, I gotta go. I have to pick up my nine-year-old from school. He's not allowed to walk the four blocks home without an adult.

Peace and Justice Events Archive
This page presents a publicly available data set consisting of 546 individual calendars starting in Oct 1996 and going through October 2009, when the data was collected. While not wholly inclusive, this data set represents the most conclusive single source for activist events in the Seattle area, covering a 13 year period. The files are available by request.
The listing of activist events is typically an ad-hoc process, distributed among a wide range of calendars and venues. This is certainly the case in Seattle, with events related to particular issue areas distributed through a range of "old" and "new" media outlets. However, many of these calendar listings get their information from a single source that acts as the go-between for activists interested in getting their events listed, and editors in need of events to list. This calendar is the Seattle Peace and Justice Events Calendar, edited by Jean Buskin. The calendar is currently distributed via email to around 4-500 individuals, some of who draw on the calendar in producing their own events listings and via an online listing. The calendar is a weekly publication, consisting of about 40-50 single spaced pages listing both recurring and one-time events. While Jean Buskin has received some help over the years, the effort is largely a result of her consistent volunteer effort in collecting, compiling and distributing activist events.
Jean Buskin described the calendar as follows in an email written in October of 2009:
In the late 1980s, I started compiling lists of events in the Seattle area relating to the US role in Central America. Many local groups were opposing US intervention and working in solidarity with oppressed people. I was involved with Pledge of Resistance; other groups included CISPES and GUASO. I expanded my list to include events relating any kind of US military intervention or US support of oppressive regimes around the world. Later I added other justice events, including those relating to racial justice, environment, gay rights, and other topics. On this expansion, I started calling the calendar "peace & justice events Seattle area".
The calendar changed in its method of distribution: paper to email and web. And as it became better known, it expanded. My method of receiving information also changed from mailed newsletters and phone calls, to now almost exclusively via email.
Over the years, there have been 2 volunteers, each of whom worked for a period to verify recurring events. Another volunteer took over for 3 weeks when I was in jail for nonviolent civil disobedience. Another person wrote some guidelines about making events accessible for people with disabilities. Calendar users have made many suggestions about how to make the calendar more useful. A volunteer at Seattle Community Network wrote the program to convert one text file into separate monthly calendars with hyperlinks. I am grateful to all these people.
Inclusion of events is subjective, based on my perception of what is a p&j event, and also based on how much time I have. Some events are strictly cultural, giving preference to underrepresented cultures. Of course, the organizations I'm personally involved with, such as Fellowship of Reconciliation, are overrepresented. (Not that these are not necessarily more important, but I know about them!) The p&j calendar is never inclusive – there are always lots of events I don't hear about. I often struggle over the decision of whether to include an event, and I often have strong disagreements with part of the policies of event organizers. I occasionally add a comment of support or disagreement in [square brackets], but I try to use the words of the event organizers in the calendar item description.
The main thing I think would improve the calendar is some kind of indexing of events to help people search for particular topics. Right now, I don't have the time or skills to make that improvement.
If you would like to list an event or offer your services in improving the calendar you can contact Jean Buskin at bb369(AT)scn.org.
Description of the data set
This data set consists of 546 individual calendars written and distributed over a 13 year period, starting in Oct 1996 and ending in October 2009, when the data set was collected. The calendars list both recurring and one-time events and average about 40-50 single spaced pages each. The files are stored in a .zip file containing two sets of files. The main folder is all files after Jean went to a .rtf format (1999-2009). The sub-folder contains older files (starting in March 1999, and going back to October 1996) that are in .doc format and have a different naming convention. The older files are often versions for the same month that were written over (i.e., there were multiple calendars for the month, but only the last version for the month was archived), so there may not be as many files per month in this section, and if there is only one file for the month it represents the last week of that month.
If you use this dataset for research, please contact us at ccce@u.washington.edu and let us know. We would like to list your work here when it is published or publicly available.

As a contractor, one of the most important parts of running your business is closing more sales. Unfortunately this is the hardest part for many contractors. Here are a few tips that can help you to get over this business hurdle.
This tip may seem obvious, but there are many contractors who aren't clear enough about their business offerings. For example, if you are a windows contractor, make that very clear with your website, business cards, and other branding. If you are a general contractor, make sure people know it. You don't want to lose sales simply because your prospects weren't clear on what your specialty is.
Not all prospects are going to be completely open with you. When you can, ask lots of questions. People will often talk about their needs or wants if asked and you can learn a lot by listening to what prospects talk about.
You want to find out everything about the project the client is looking to complete. Be ready to ask about it and dig deeper if you can. If your prospect is building a house, gently inquire about their family, kids, pets, and hobbies. If your prospect is remodeling their place of business, ask them more about what it is they do and what got them into whatever business they're in.
Conversations like this may begin to make your prospects to feel more comfortable around you. This may also give you opportunities to recommend further plans, materials, or ideas that are tailored to the life or business they have described. Showcasing your ability to cater to their needs without sounding pushy can change prospects into clients.
While you don't want to sound overly pushy, this is the time to toot your own horn a bit. If you cannot convince the prospect that you're right for the job, you aren't going to land it. So you should have a short but powerful list of things that you can share with a prospect that will highlight your best points.
If there are any materials and remodeling jobs that you are particularly well-versed in using, share that. This may also be a good time to explain why you prefer those materials or jobs and why they are the better fit for their particular situation. If you've been a part of any big projects, particularly ones that got a lot of publicity, such as businesses or big houses, mention that.
Having a short pitch that gives prospects a good idea of your expertise and why you're best for the job is one of the fastest ways to close a sale.
Following up is simple, easy, and generally overlooked. Some contractors do not take the time to write down the contact information of a prospect and then follow up with them a week or so after the initial contact. Add regular follow-ups to your sales plan, and there is a good possibility you'll start closing more sales.
There are a host of other tips you can use to start closing more sales and growing your business. Contact Home Improvement Leads for expert advice and tailored ways you can grow your business.

Dr. Bernice King helps launch new African American business resource group chapter at U.S. Bank and Elavon
January 17, 2020 | GET MORE : Articles
King spoke about living as a legacy to parents Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King
Dr. Bernice King is a renowned speaker, accomplished minister and servant leader leaving a legacy in her own right.
But at an Atlanta event hosted by U.S. Bank and its subsidiary Elavon a week before the federal holiday honoring her father, King spoke openly about how it has at times been difficult to reconcile her past, present and future.
As a young adult, she avoided watching footage of her father and was instead determined to develop her own style. She admittedly has had difficulty responding when asked what differentiates her from her parents. Understandably, that can be a complicated question for the chief executive of a nonprofit that stands as a living memorial to them.
"My mother would tell me that I do not have to be my father to be my best self," she said. "[Still], when you are born into a family that has made such an impact, you feel an obligation to keep that alive."
And that is what King has done. The social media savvy 56-year-old is an interpreter bringing the teachings of her parents into the digital age – advocating for social justice to 272K followers on Twitter and hosting thought provoking conversations to 100K followers on Facebook Live, for example.
In addition to iconic settings including The White House and The Lincoln Memorial, King also expands the reach of the nonprofit by speaking at universities and corporations.
The U.S. Bank and Elavon event, for example, helped launch the newest chapter of the African American business resource group at the company. The event was organized and moderated by Chapter President and Elavon Vice President of Education & Engagement Terra Wallace (pictured below with King).
"It was an absolute honor," said Wallace, of sharing the stage with King. "Knowing the sacrifices that her father made for some of the freedoms that we enjoy today gave me an overwhelming sense of gratitude in that moment. And the way that she was so relaxed, humorous and transparent, I felt a pretty immediate connection."
Along with Wallace, the Atlanta business resource group chapter is led by Sam Thurman, Jamelle Taggert, Terra Wallace, Tamisha Cosby, Tomika Hargett, Montressa De La Cruz-Wesson and Kimaada Blair (as pictured below left to right).
Of her hopes for the chapter, Wallace said, "I want the work we do to be about bringing out the best in people. It may be heritage events like these that unify people across cultures and backgrounds and start meaningful conversations. Other times it may be through programs that help our members tap into their strengths and execute against their goals. It can also be through the impact we make on our communities."
Bringing out the best in people was, of course, a core tenet of Martin Luther King Jr., said his daughter.
"[My father] believed that there was good in the worst of us and bad in the best of us," she said. "What we need to do is elevate the people who bring out the best in others."
Throughout the fireside chat with Wallace, King reflected and strung lines through her past, present and future.
Of the past, she spoke about the coming into understanding her role as a vessel. "My father was a prophet and the words of a prophet are very important – the things that they seek still have to come to pass. My mother used to say that struggle is a never-ending process and that freedom is earned and won with every generation."
Of the future, she expressed optimism, especially having seen recent teenager-led activism such as March For Our Lives. "This next generation is different. Those under 20 today, they care about wars, they care about causes, and things are going to change because they are absolutely different than us."
Of the present, her comments were the most urgent.
"Look in the mirror every morning," she said, in closing. "You are the solution to some problem. You are the answer to some question. But you have to decide to get engaged purposefully and intentionally."

I saw the parade signs in the morning as I drove out of the neighborhood. I figured we wouldn't make it in time this year. I wasn't going to be able to leave work early since I was going into the office late after A's therapy session. Yet, we lucked out again this year. Driving into the neighborhood in the evening I saw people lining up and realized we hadn't yet missed the celebration. I grabbed my camera, and hollered for Jason to get in the car with Anders and I. We were off to the same spot we watched the parade last year.
This year my little guy really understood there were treats we be had. I think he suckered me into THREE suckers while we are at the parade.
I'm so glad you didn't miss the parade!
