Ta'er in China PRINT VERSION:
The Ta'er have only been reported in China
Language unknown
Map Source: Joshua Project / Global Mapping International
The Ta'er are one of the smallest and least-known branches of the official Yi nationality in China. Other small Yi groups in Ninglang County include the Tagu and Talu peoples. Although linguistically and culturally related, each of these three groups views itself as being distinct from the others.
In the past the Ta'er were oppressed by the Xiaoliangshan Nosu who number more than 130,000 just in Ninglang County alone. The Xiaoliangshan Nosu took the Ta'er as slaves and continually raided their villages. False charges were often laid against the Ta'er, such as a corpse being placed on their land and charges of murder being made. Full retribution would be demanded. As a result, the Ta'er are an impoverished people, with few possessions and a low self-esteem. Even though the slavery system was officially abolished by the Communist government in the late 1950s, the social stigma and class prejudice still exists today between the different Yi peoples.
Because of their small numbers, the Ta'er have been forced to intermarry with the Han Chinese and other people groups in recent decades. Prior to liberation, the Xiaoliangshan Nosu were strictly forbidden to marry their slaves, under pain of death. Most Ta'er families are hard working agriculturists. When a Ta'er girl becomes engaged to be married, she is allowed to "wander the hills" and sleep with her former boyfriends. After this time of immorality she is expected to settle down and be faithful to her husband.
The Ta'er believe that after death the soul of the deceased flies to heaven and becomes a star. The Ta'er have a centuries-old system of spirit worship which carefully appeases a host of vengeful demons. The Ta'er also worship their ancestors, especially those who have died within the past three generations.
Although missionary work was conducted extensively among Yi groups in the Wuding and Luquan areas of northern Yunnan and in parts of central and northeast Yunnan, few or no foreign missionaries have ever worked in Ninglang County. As a result, the Ta'er have no knowledge of the gospel today, and no access to a Christian witness.

This book had me on my toes! I really couldn't figure out who the "Beta" was and truthfully would never have guessed. It combines mystery, paranormal and some romance in a way I've never read before-but I sincerely loved it. I know you will too!! The about the book will tell you enough without me trying to not give anything away!! A definite 5 in my opinion--maybe higher!!
"Riley Russell is gorgeous, smart, and successful. She also has a broken heart she's managed to keep secret from everyone—including herself. Three years ago, she walked away from her marriage to entrepreneur Tristan Russell, believing there was no hope for the relationship. But when he reenters her life unexpectedly, Riley must fight to remain independent and in control of the life she has built.
As Riley and Tristan try to find love with each other a second time around, they come to grips with things that go bump in the night. If Riley isn't careful, she may fall prey to enemies that are closer than she thinks."

The children were named after Porter's and Diddy's grandmothers—Lila Star and Jessie Smalls, respectively—"two people who had an enormous influence on both Kim and Sean's lives," Diddy's rep, Robert Zimmerman said in a statement.
The site reports that Diddy, who had been keeping a plane on standby just in case Porter went into labor, flew in for the delivery from Toronto, where he has been filming a movie adaptation of the Broadway musical A Raisin in the Sun.
The couple first announced the news of Porter's pregnancy to twins in August via a myspace video blog.
Wanted to tell you first, I'm at the hospital right now and christmas came early this morning when Kim gave birth to two healthy beautiful twin girls!!! Both, Kim and the twins are doing great, thank you for all your support this year! I Love Y'all!

Wilhelm Schmidt  (* 18. August 1898 in Obersdorf, Kreis Siegen; † 13. September 1965 ebenda) war ein deutscher Mundartdichter.

Leben
Wilhelm Schmidt, drittes Kind des Maschinisten Jakob Schmidt aus Rittershausen im Dillkreis, besuchte die Volksschule in seinem Geburtsort Obersdorf. Er war ein Schulfreund des Politikers Fritz Müller. Schmidt lernte den Beruf eines technischen Zeichners bei A. u. H. Oechelhäuser in Siegen. Er war in den Siegerländer Erzgruben als Haldenjunge, Bergläufer und Hauer der Grube Ameise tätig. Nach Kriegseinsatz im Ersten Weltkrieg war er – bis zur Aufgabe aus gesundheitlichen Gründen 1922 – Bergmann. Weitere Tätigkeiten als Hilfsarbeiter und Magazinverwalter musste er krankheitsbedingt aufgeben. Von 1939 bis 1944 war er wiederum Soldat im Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Schmidt wurde bekannt als Dialektdichter. Der Siegerländer Schriftsteller Lothar Irle beschrieb ihn als "feinsinniger Lyriker und Erzähler in Siegerländer Mundart". Daneben war Schmidt ständiger Mitarbeiter der Siegener Zeitung. 1934 schrieb er ein Gedicht zur Verleihung der Ehrenbürgerwürde an Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler in Obersdorf.

Wilhelm Schmidt war verheiratet mit Hedwig geb. Gaumann; aus der Ehe stammten vier Kinder.

Er war seit 2013 Namensgeber des Wilhelm-Schmidt-Weg in Obersdorf; aufgrund seiner Mitgliedschaft in der NSDAP (nicht belegt; Eintritt um 1940) wurde die Namensvergabe zurückgezogen.

Q: Static files are served in Spring MVC with tomcat 7 in Windows, but not on Linux I have been searching on the net and ripping my hair on how to solve this issue for almost 3 weeks, but I can't find the reason why my static files are served in Spring MVC with tomcat 7 in my local Windows, but not in our server on Linux(Ubuntu). Below I have described my projects file structure and all my relevant files:

web.xml:
<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/config/root-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

        <param-value>/WEB-INF/config/servlet-context.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

app-context.xml:
<tx:annotation-driven />
<context:component-scan base-package="com.bakuparkingaz"/>
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:db.properties" />
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/"/>

<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor" />

AdminController.java:
@Controller
public class AdminController {
/.
    @RequestMapping(value = "/admin")
    public String admin() {

        return "resources/admin/index.html";
    }
}

So now when I call http://localhost:8080/admin I get the pretty styled page, but on the server http://8.8.8.8/project/admin (I have deployed my war file as project.war to tomcats webapp folder) results in an ugly styleless html page. Why my static files won't serve on the linux server?
UPDATE:
admin/index.html:

A: On localhost, your app is on the root context. On 8.8.8.8, your app is on the context /project. See http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getContextPath().
Try to use an absolute value in your <base> tag, which will then depend on the environment:
For localhost:
<base href="http://localhost:8080/" />

For 8.8.8.8:
<base href="http://8.8.8.8/project/" />

Then, use the following relative paths for both environments:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/admin/css/normalize.css" />

You'll see a method in this answer to set the <base> tag dynamically.

Here is a circuit board for this. I made it skinny so I could fit it onto another board I was making that had some room left. When I was building this I noticed that I had to increase the gain of the circuit so I reduced the value of R3 to 500 ohms. I also buffered the outputs as you can see from the board.
Just put pink noise into one side of the buffer and white noise into the other and voila you have 4 noise sources (more than you will probably ever need). The buffer is not shown in the schematic but it is quite simple in that its just four non-inverting unity gain buffers with the non-inverting inputs of two pairs tied together.

Defence to ditch Internet Explorer 6
By Renai LeMay
CIO	 Jul 8, 2010 8:57 am PDT
Australia's Department of Defence will upgrade its 90,000 desktop PCs from version 6 to version 7 of Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser — almost four years after the software was first released.
"Defence commenced the rollout of IE7 earlier this year on it's fixed restricted network, with IE7 now deployed on the majority of user desktops," said a Defence spokesperson, noting the rollout would affect 90,000 machines. "We are currently resolving some application compatibility issues for a small number of users."
"Defence is planning to upgrade its overseas deployed restricted Desktops to IE7 by 2010."
IE7 is a more modern browser than IE6, introducing new features such as the tabbed browsing made popular in rival browsers like Firefox, an anti-phishing filter and enhanced support for web standards. Microsoft reworked a number of core areas for IE7?s release — such as the rendering engine and the way the software handles security.
However, IE7 was released in October 2006 and has since been superceded by version 8 of the Microsoft browser, which was released in March 2009. Internet Explorer 9 is currently in development. In response to a question about the delay, the Defence spokesperson said "there was no business driver" to upgrade until recently.
The news comes as there is increasing pressure from employees in organisations to gain more flexibility around what browser — and software in general — they are allowed to use at work.
Technology giant IBM has recently anointed Mozilla's Firefox browser as the default option for all of its 400,000 employees.
The Defence spokesperson said the department continued to look at alternate browsers, but the current upgrade to IE7 was to maintain compatibility for applications built on IE.
"Defence does not allow staff to install their own software including desktop browsers on Defence networks," they added. "This restriction allows Defence to support the desktop environment and to manage security and vulnerability patches."
Defence is not the only large Australian organisation to take its time in rolling out new versions of IE. In late February the Commonwealth Bank of Australia told staff it was shortly to upgrade to IE7. The bank has some 38,000 staff.

Anthropogenic Influences on Macaque Populations and Their Genetic Consequences
Human–macaque interactions constitute a complex phenomenon influencing perhaps the biology of the macaque more profoundly than ours. At the population level, humans tend to influence the distribution, demography, immunology and even behaviour of the macaque species they interact with though none of these interactions are ever simple. These works at different levels, interacting, in turn, with other environmental factors and most of these impacts are likely to have genetic consequences over the long term. In this chapter, we reviewed available literature on anthropogenic impacts on macaque populations. We should, however, stress that our current state of knowledge, unfortunately, suffers from a serious lack of insight into such genetic impacts. There is, therefore, a dire need for long-term genetic monitoring programmes to understand the effect of anthropogenic factors on the dispersal and demography of different macaque species.

Q: break and continue statements are causing finally block execution in Nashorn I'm puzzled why finally is getting executed after break/continue (Version: Java 8 update 5)

    for(var i = 0; i < 2; i++)

  finally
  {
    print("Finally executed");
  }

Output with break:
Try 1
Finally executed
Try 2
Finally executed

Output with continue in place of break
Try 1
Finally executed
Finally executed
Try 2
Finally executed

I have tried executing the same code in browser (replacing print() with console.log()
Output is as expected in Firebug
Try 1
Try 2
Finally executed

A: I found the relevant statement here:

. . . While it's true finally will always be executed if defined, certain statements inside try such as continue, break, return, or when an error has occurred and there is no catch clause will all cause finally to be executed immediately thereafter . . .

But i don't see this is happening in Firefox (probably for a good reason)

Alia Bhatt wears a Roger Dubuis Velvet White
It was truly an evening for the stars, when Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt stepped out in style for a photoshoot for Harper's Bazaar India recently, wearing a glittering Velvet White by Roger Dubuis on her wrist!
Bhatt, who has created waves with a series of stirring performances, is today one of the hottest properties in Hindi cinema, something she underlined when she won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her role in Raazi in 2018.
Born into the Bhatt family with strong links to the film world, Aliya is the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razdan. After making her acting debut as a child in the 1999 thriller Sangharsh, Bhatt played her first leading role in Karan Johar's teen drama Student of the Year (2012). She went on to collaborate with Johar's studio in a majority of her subsequent releases, including the romances 2 States (2014), Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya (2014), and Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya (2017); the drama Kapoor & Sons (2016); and the coming-of-age film Dear Zindagi (2016).
The commercial success of these films established Bhatt in Hindi cinema. She also received critical acclaim for portraying emotionally intense characters in the road Highway (2014), which won her the Filmfare Critics' Award for Best Actress, and the crime drama Udta Punjab (2016), which won her the Filmfare Award for Best Actress. Her 2018 spy thriller Raazi emerged as one of Hindi cinema's biggest-earning female-led films, following which Bhatt starred in the musical drama Gully Boy (2019), her highest-grossing release yet.
The Velvet White on Bhatt's wrist is certainly another star. Svelte and slimline and studded with 64 white diamonds set around the 18k rose gold dial, this beauty from the Roger Dubuis lineup shows off a white alligator clasp with 18k pink gold buckle and clasp that blends nicely with the white of the dial.

We were retained by a private developer to assist in the delivery of a 54 bed student accommodation building for St Peter's College in Oxford. The site was adjacent to a watercourse and the former Oxford Prison, part of which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Rickett Architects designed the scheme to maximise the accommodation on site and deliver and functional and appropriate design within the historical context.
The scheme was recommended for a student housing award by Vale of the White Horse District Council and used as a benchmark for achieving appropriate densities of accommodation on restricted urban infill sites.
During protracted planning negotiations, the design team sustained an uncompromising approach to the design development. This persisted through the construction phases to deliver the scheme to the College.

South Africa: The Art Of Jewellery Design Protection – A South African Perspective
by Nola R. Bond (Johannesburg)
KISCH IP
Jewellery, like all great crafts, is the domain of inspired, talented and creative designers who can blend the magic of metals, precious stones, natural materials and artistry with a vision to reveal magnificent works – sometimes simple and often highly complex. Nature is always a gift to these talented people whether by way of gorgeous gemstones, precious resources or the pure inspiration that the natural world lends to creativity. Legend, symbolism and cultural values all play out in this wonderful art form.
Living in a country like South Africa, there are many natural riches to inspire and create exceptional pieces of jewellery. Aside from some of the world's most magnificent diamonds and gemstones, the flora, fauna and multi-cultural colourful nature of the country creates a true haven for artistic inspiration.
There are intellectual property laws globally that provide protection for jewellery designs which may vary according to jurisdiction including trade marks, designs, copyright, traditional knowledge and advertising laws. Below is a short note on the applicability of the trade mark law in South Africa.
Trade mark protection
Whilst many people automatically relate a trade mark to a brand name, slogan or a logo, The South African Trade Mark Act of 1993 (the Act) affords much broader protection for aesthetic elements of intellectual property. By definition, a trade mark must be distinctive in order to distinguish the goods or services for which it is registered from those of other traders in the same or similar field. The definition of a trade mark in the Act reads: "a sign capable of being represented graphically including a device, name, signature, word, letter, numeral, shape, configuration, pattern, ornamentation, colour or container of goods or any combination of the aforesaid."
As such, there are various options available on how best to protect jewellery designs and the trade marks that underpin the distinctiveness of these works. One need only think of some of the great jewellery houses of HÉRMES, CHANEL, FABERGE, MIKIMOTO and CARTIER and how the names, logos, signatures, use of numbers, patterns and ornamentation form part of their trade mark protection. Even packaging as exemplified by the famous TIFFANY BLUE BOX is protected as a trade mark. As such a careful and holistic approach should be adopted.
The key to good protection is how the trade mark is filed and particularly, in the cases of trade marks consisting of shapes, patterns, configurations and ornamentation, how the endorsement is crafted is key to ensuring the distinctive trade mark features are protected. Without an accurate and carefully drafted endorsement, the rights acquired may simply be worthless. Practically this requires a careful consideration of the trade mark material and how best to reflect this graphically to meet the requirements of the Act and be clearly interpreted when enforcing a trade mark. Seeking the advice of an intellectual property expert is always the best approach to secure optimum protection.
All jewellery designers should consider protecting their works to the optimum level. Today, customers are not necessarily looking for the biggest, and brightest but are interested in sustainability, environment friendly and conflict free products. Protecting the hard work of creative designers and harnessing the commercial value is the optimum result.

The Lone Ranger (2013), PG-13, 149 minutes - It has been years since I last saw an episode of the old The Lone Ranger television series starring Clayton Moore. I used to watch it as a kid with my dad and that old series is part of why I grew up with an affinity for westerns. Unfortunately, because it has been so long, I can't remember how campy it may or may not have been, but I do feel pretty comfortable in saying that this version of The Lone Ranger is not close to what little I do remember from my childhood.
From the very first trailer I saw for this film, I thought 'why don't they just call it The Legend of Tonto?' It just seemed odd to me that you would cast one of the world's most well known actors in a supporting role. I don't mean the kind of supporting role that Captain Jack Sparrow was when the Pirates of the Caribbean films started, but the sidekick type that the role of Tonto has always fallen into.
The film uses Johnny Depp's Tonto to frame and narrate the story. I can't say as I personally remember ever seeing/hearing The Lone Ranger's origin story, but one is told here. John Reid (Armie Hammer), The Lone Ranger-to-be returns home after traveling east to pursue an education as a straight laced lawyer. His views of order and justice clash with the ways of the west, leading him to follow his brother Dan's (James Badge Dale) group of Texas Rangers in pursuit of the outlaw Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner). He is killed by Cavendish and mistakenly revived by Tonto who was hoping to revive Dan to help him in his own tracking of Cavendish. Through his partnership with Tonto, John learns that while things are not black and white like he once believed, that he can still fight for good and for justice within that grey area.
The Lone Ranger isn't a horrible movie, but it certainly isn't what I was hoping for. It pretty much plays out just as I would have expected after first learning that Johnny Depp was cast to play Tonto. Which is unfortunate really. Nothing against Depp, but he's far too big a name to play a supporting character. Armie Hammer plays a likable Lone Ranger, a bit stiff at first, but one that grows on you. He's just overshadowed and it really feels as though he is the sidekick and Tonto is the lead instead of the other way around. Tom Wilkinson, Helena Bonham Carter, and Barry Pepper add a dash of recognizable stars just in case the draw of Johnny Depp isn't enough. Fichtner and Dale are both quite good in their limited roles. Dale just keeps popping up in movies this summer (Iron Man 3 and World War Z previously).
It's kind of funny, but this summer has been a pretty nostalgia-filled one for me so far. I grew up watching things like The Lone Ranger and Star Trek re-runs and the Christopher Reeve Superman films with my dad. All three franchises (I hesitate to call The Lone Ranger a franchise but it is obvious that it is their intent starting with this film) have had theatrical releases this summer. I wouldn't have anticipated it, but at different points while watching each of these films, I found myself wishing that I lived closer to my parents so that I could have seen these films with my dad.
As I mentioned earlier, The Lone Ranger isn't bad, but there are definitely more worthy films for your hard earned cash this summer. If you like the feel of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, then this will probably be right up your alley. Other than that I'd feel safe in suggesting that you wait until it becomes a rental before giving it a look. I like the idea and I like the pieces, I'm just not sold on how it was all put together.
- The kid that the elder Tonto is telling the story to asks him at one point how he got out of the jail cell. Tonto pretty much ignores the question completely and maybe even waves a hand at it. This is a completely valid question from the kid and it really bugs me when a movie not only has a blatant disregard for such a detail but acknowledges the plot problem and still ignores it.
- Why is Tonto part of the traveling fair exhibit? Why is he there as opposed to somewhere else if he is still alive?
- Having grown up watching re-runs of the tv show as a kid, I loved the inclusion of The Lone Ranger's 'Hi-ho Silver, away!' line towards the end of the film. What I didn't like was Tonto looking at him like he was an idiot and telling him to never do it again. Since when is Tonto calling the shots? Oh right, it's Johnny Depp and he's too big to play second fiddle.
- The director (Gore Verbinski), co-writers (Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio), and star (Depp) all worked together previously on the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Hence the reason for the repeated comparisons in my review.

Q: Sending commands to browser Hi I want to send url links from a Java application to a browser in Windows 7. How can I do this ?

A: If by "send url links" you mean open a URL in a browser, this should work for you:
import java.awt.Desktop;
import java.net.URI;

// ...

if(Desktop.isDesktopSupported())
{
    Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI("http://www.example.com"));
}

A: If you want to just launch a browser to a certain URL, I'd recommend just using the Java APIs for launching a new process, and use the Windows start command.
Try opening a cmd.exe and running start http://google.com - you basically would just do that from your Java app using the process APIs, which you should be able to find a good tutorial on, if needed.
If you are asking about manipulating an existing browser window from another application, then your answer is going to be much more complicated.


The morning air was only slightly chilly when I woke up, the day of Halloween dawning not so bright and early. I stretched my limbs before hopping off the bed, silence greeting me downstairs. Not so odd; my parents loved to sleep in on the weekends.
Pouring a bowl of booberries, I waved casually over my shoulder when the front screen door slammed open, with a resounding smack.
"What's for breakfast?" my best friend of eight years asked quickly. I turned around to see her bouncing on the walls. Nothing was slow about this girl.
She just rolled her eyes, as usual, and grabbed a bowl.
It was around the time my parents were typically getting up when I heard the sound of glass shattering somewhere in the house. I shared a glance with Scar, before slowly standing up.
"Hello?" I called, walking slower than my pet snails glides. "Mum? Dad?" When I received no answer, I hesitated slightly, not entirely willing to keep going. "Are you okay?" My pace slowed even further, eyes widening in the wake of a guttural moan. I reached my hand back, grabbing behind me for Scar, who held tight.
My parents' door squeaked as I opened it, my heart pounding loudly in my ears.
"Honey!" My mother cheered. "I'm so sorry. I feel like such a clutz. Dropping the mirror, and cutting my hand in the process of cleaning up! My goodness. I didn't wake you, did I? I'm dreadfully sorry if I did." My father came into the room then, a smile alight on his face.
"Let's get that hand cleaned," he rumbled, clearing his throat.
She reached her hand out, fingertips barely skimming the blood of my mother. Dipping her fingers in the puddle, she took her hand out, dripping with blood. I watched as she stared at it a few moments in total silence.
I did not know until today that a person could fit their whole hand in their mouth. And when it came back out, there was not a drop of blood left on it.
"Uh, Mum?" I turned my eyes away from Scar, but I did not see my parents.
I grabbed Scarlet's hand, forcing her away from the little meal of blood, rushing through the house. I couldn't find them anywhere.
"Scarlet? Come on…Wake up…" I shook her softly, then harder. "Scarlet! You can wake up, and then-after you wake, and I make sure you're okay-we can go. Go in search of my parents. I do know how you'd love to find them and all. Come on, Scarlet….Please…" Tears were running down my face as she remained unresponsive.
I picked her up, staggering slightly under her weight, and stumbled with her to my bedroom. Running out, I grabbed the phone, and hurried back to her.
"911? Please pick up, 911." My heart was racing, as the tone dialed, before clicking off, beeps ringing in my ear. "No!" I mumbled, tears continuing their journey down my face. I looked at her, her face pale against my jet black sheets, spit decorating them. "Scar," I whispered, starting towards her, before stopping.
I turned around, rushing to the kitchen. I splashed cool water on my face, hoping that this was just a dream, and that I would wake any second.
Hearing low groaning from the direction of my room, I walked towards the door hesitantly. "Scarlet?" I was whispering, afraid to speak any louder. "Are you, uh, okay?" The groaning only got louder, as the door slowly creaked open. Scar was never slow.
When the door was fully open, my view was not a pleasant one. I could hear my scream tear its way through the fabrics of the world.
Her body was splitting before my eyes, causing blood to course down her whole person, pooling at her feet. Her eyes were hollowed out, leaving just the sockets in their wake. I backed up, hitting the wall opposite my room, eyes not leaving the broken picture.
"I can't…" I jerked away as she slowly reached for me, unable to pick up and move my feet. My eyes squeezed shut as thumps made their way closer.
The only thing I could see was black, as I passed out.

Bell gives 505 JetRanger X update
Posted on July 21, 2014 by Guy R Maher
Draw it, build it, and test it. That's the immediate process for the brand new Bell 505 JetRanger X.
It's a similar story for the brand new manufacturing facility that's being created to build the aircraft in Lafayette, La. The concurrent development is an ambitious, but necessary, undertaking given the short timeframe the company has given itself to achieve first flight (by end of this year), and certification (by end of 2015).
The 505 marks Bell's return to the light single engine game, following the company's decision to discontinue production on the 206B JetRanger in 2009.
Powered by the 504 shaft-horsepower Turbomeca Arrius 2R engine with dual channel full authority digital engine control (FADEC), the 505 promises a useful load of 1,500 pounds, a cruise speed of 125 knots, and a range of 360 to 420 nautical miles. It will also meet IATA Stage 4 noise targets.
"From the time of dropping the 206B until the 505 launch, we did a lot of learning about what the market wanted," said Paul Watts, Bell 505 program director. "We took a step back. Our strong customer base wanted us back in the game, but with much more than just a III version of the 206B. The specially formed customer advisory council [CAC] desires included a flat floor, open cabin, and a glass panel."
To that end, the 505 will sport a high visibility cockpit and a fully flat, 22-square-foot cabin floor with five forward-facing seats. (The 505 design also includes an 18 cubic foot baggage compartment.) The aircraft's glass panel will be the Garmin G1000H integrated avionics suite, a fully-integrated flight deck that was first introduced by the manufacturer on the Bell 407GX.
Another retention from the Bell light legacy is the 206L-4 rotor system. Not only was integrating a proven rotor system a smart move for design costs, but in doing so the 505 also retains the renowned Bell two-bladed auto-rotational characteristics. However, some changes will be made from the 206L-4 including improved torsion-tension straps and a redesigned system for mounting the rotor and dampening vibrations.
The CAC also wanted the price point to be competitive with other entry level turbine helicopters. "The focus is on cost," said Watts. "Our engineers are watching parts being built — watching the entire process. For example, how many men are needed for the tail boom — can we design it differently so as to take only one man instead of two?"
A recent tour of the 505 design facility at the Bell plant in Hurst, Texas, revealed a unique combination of old and new school. The design work was being done on computers, including a systems integration lab working on G1000H to Turbomeca engine communication software. But right next to that station was a good old fashioned wooden full-size initial cabin mock-up, to provide a first look and feel of the new open-floor cabin design. Subsequent mock-ups show the evolution of the design.
Initial assembly and flight testing will be done at Bell's Mirabel, Que., facility. The project will take concurrent critical paths to certification, with the first type certificate coming from Transport Canada before the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Although a strange-sounding path for other U.S.-based design-build companies, it is a typical process for Bell. "We have familiarity with the process, we can draw on [206] L-4 experience in Mirabel, and there is no overload on the FAA in Fort Worth — who is heavily involved in the 525," stated Watts.
But when it comes to actually building the production aircraft, this will be handled in Bell's new plant in Lafayette, La., which is at the Lafayette Regional Airport. Paul Watts has accepted the position of general manager of the facility, but will also maintain his current position as Bell 505 program manager through the end of the year.
Bell will lease the 82,300-square-foot facility from the airport. Construction will begin on the 14.5-acre site this month, with aircraft assembly operations expected to start by 2016 following certification of the facility and the aircraft.
As for the aircraft itself, the first engine test has already been accomplished. Bell, Turbomeca, and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) are all working diligently to have the engine released in time for the first flight schedule.
"Our supply partners are on schedule," said Watts. "Plus the design is already accounting for popular kits — like the hook for example. The keel beams will be prepped, as well as the skin panels. We plan to have the necessary STC's [supplemental type certificates] for various kits ready shortly after certification, and our delivery schedules for specific aircraft will factor in STC time."
As far as production rate, Bell wouldn't share their detailed projection. However, Watts did say the manufacturer is working with its suppliers to support a schedule that exceeds the historical ramp-up demonstrated by Robinson Helicopters. Indeed, the latter's highly popular R66 Turbine is clearly in the gun sight of the 505.
"Our ramp up will be more aggressive than when the 407 first entered service in 1996," said Watts. The 505 production schedule better be aggressive. Because with over 200 heavily deposited letters of intent — most of them being from small operators and former 206 owners — the SLS 505 JetRanger X is the most widely anticipated helicopter to come from Bell in quite a long time.

Transboundary Hazwaste Shipment Rules Getting Stronger
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is strengthening the regulations that govern the shipping of hazardous waste (hazwaste) for recycling between the United States and other countries.
The new measures are meant to increase the level of regulatory oversight, provide stricter controls, and greater transparency. The final rule announced Dec. 28 aligns EPA's hazwaste import/export/transit shipment regulations with the procedures of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), an international consortium that comprises 30 countries including the United States.
EPA's new measures bolster regulations regarding shipments into or out of the United States and strengthen the extensive set of regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) governing shipment within the United States.
Specifically, this rule revises:
Existing RCRA regulation regarding the transboundary movement of hazwastes for recovery among countries belonging to the OECD to conform to legally required revisions made by the OECD, such as requiring U.S. recovery facilities to submit a certificate after recovery of the waste has been completed; adding provisions to ensure that hazwastes are returned to the country of export in a more timely and documented manner when it is necessary to do so; and adding new procedures for imported hazwastes that are initially managed at U.S. accumulation and transfer facilities to better track and document that subsequent recovery by a separate recycling facility is completed in an environmentally sound manner.
RCRA regulations for spent lead-acid batteries (SLAB) to add export notification and consent requirements to provide stricter controls and greater transparency for exports of SLABs to any country, and should ensure that the batteries are sent to countries and reclamation facilities in those countries that can manage the SLABs in an environmentally sound manner.
Hazwaste import-related requirements for U.S. hazwaste management facilities to confirm individual import shipments comply with the terms of EPA's consent.

A squirrel disrupted businesses and traffic patterns in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, a town of about 16,000 residents just east of the Pennsylvania-Ohio border, yesterday afternoon. The critter got into a substation and shorted the system, knocking out power for more than 2,000 customers in Hermitage and neighboring Sharon, according to Penn Power. As many utility companies have found out, it's difficult to keep small animals and snakes from getting into substations and coming into contact with equipment. In fact, last month, a raccoon cause a power outage when it damaged a substation in Sharon during the overnight hours.
Fortunately, power was restored within about two hours, but even the short outage kept police busy directing traffic, with only limited generators available for traffic lights, according to Police Chief Eric Jewell.
Generators can help businesses keep some systems running and are particularly useful for the food service industry where outages can result in spoilage. But, even generators aren't enough to protect businesses' technology from being damaged by outages. Electrical surges are common just before power goes out and as it's restored. Those surges can short out circuits in the systems businesses depend on for their operations and result in extended down time as servers, switches, routers, firewalls or other equipment is repaired or replaced.
The best safety net for businesses that depend on their technology – which includes nearly every business today – is a UPS system that includes power protection to regulate line voltage and negate the impact of spikes and surges. Power protection systems can be configured for any business and sized to fit each one's unique needs and ensure outages don't cause more damage than a temporary loss of power.


Horsemanship is a journey unlike any other... WELCOME!
Horsemanship is a Journey… and it's a journey unlike any other. It's all about personal discovery, increased awareness, and self discipline.
When I say personal discovery, I'm talking about knowing what our limitations really are, instead of what we think they are. Fear – or compliance – or laziness – or social acceptance – or whatever else – keeps us in a sort of stagnant state within ourselves. So many folks think that they are capable of doing some things, but incapable of others, for whatever reason… until they find themselves in a spot where they need to move on, to change, to grow. They realize at this point that the limitations that they had were only self imposed.
You really can do more than you think you can. You can accomplish amazing things. All you have to do is get out of your comfort zone. The horse will appreciate that from you.
Increased awareness is very important. Awareness of the horse and awareness of ourselves. Many riders ask things of their horses, and never really see when things are starting to shape up one way or another until it's too late to make changes and adjustments. The rider is too focused on getting a thing done and they don't realize that they are in their horse's way.
If a person could get themselves focused and in tune to what's going on within the horse, then they could make all the little changes that are necessary to get their task accomplished, and it would seem easy. To the outside observer, everything would be smooth and seamless… to the aware rider, and to the horse, there would be many little adjustments going on to keep things balanced and on track.
Many people lack the self discipline necessary to be really great with horses. What I'm talking about is ownership of everything that goes on. Everything that goes on with your horse, from the time that you head to get him from the pasture in the morning until the time when you release him to graze again after a day's work, is your responsibility. You own it. If it goes well, if it goes poor… the good, the bad, and the ugly… it's all yours. I tell riders in my classes, If your horse kicks another horse (in the class), it's your fault for not recognizing that shaping up and getting your horse doing something different. If your horse gets kicked by another horse, it's your fault for not recognizing that shaping up and getting your horse doing something different.
You own everything that happens when you are with your horse. You can't blame somebody else or their horse for your frustrations. That other person usually has enough trouble handling their own problems… they don't need you adding to their pile. Just deal with what you have on your plate.
Once we can get our awareness and discipline under control, and start to figure out just how much potential we truly have, the journey called Horsemanship becomes very rich and rewarding. Our only limitation is the edge of the horizon… and the closer we get toward that, the farther ahead of us it seems to go on.

The Birmingham Children's Remand Home was erected in 1910 at 232 Moseley Road, Birmingham, and was the city's first Remand Home. The cost of building and furnishing the building were met by Mr and Mrs Barrow Cadbury. The role of the establishment was to house children waiting for a court appearance or transfer to an industrial school or reformatory. A husband and wife were appointed as warden and matron and the first inmates were admitted on 2 January 1911. The home was run by a voluntary committee but the city council paid for the maintenance of each child.
From May 1911, 'wandering' destitute children were also admitted before being returned to their parents or placed in one of the council's children's homes. Later that year, the home also became a designated 'place of safety' under the Children Act, for children against whom an offence had been committed.
Following the 1933 Children and Young Persons Act, responsibility for the home was taken over by the city council's Education Committee. The remand home building was then divided in two, with one half remained a remand home for boys over ten years old, while the other half was used as a boysÂ' hostel by the Probation Committee. The latter housed boys on probation whom the courts decided should not reside at their own homes.

Het Kerelslied is Lied 85 van het Gruuthuse-handschrift. De dichter is onbekend.  Het is een spotlied op de boerenstand die in de middeleeuwen minachtend met 'keerlen' werd aangeduid door de adel en de stedelijke burgerij. In de Noordelijke Nederlanden stond Floris V bijvoorbeeld bekend als 'der keerlen God' wegens diens sympathie voor de lagere standen, een affront in de ogen van zijn standgenoten.

Al in de eerste verzen van het Kerelslied worden de boeren weggezet als domme, onverzorgde en kwaadaardige veelvraten:

"Wi willen van den kerels zinghen
Si syn van quader aert

Si draghen enen langhen baert
Haer cleedren die zyn al ontnait
Een hoedekyn up haer hooft ghecapt
Tcaproen staet al verdrayt
Haer cousen ende haer scoen ghelapt

Wronglen wey broot ende caes
Dat heit hi al den dach
Daer omme es de kerel so daes
Hi hetes meer dan hys mach"

De kaproen zit helemaal scheef /
Hun kousen gestopt en hun schoenen gelapt /
Wrongel en wei, brood en kaas /
Dat eet hij heel de dag /
Daarom is de boer zo lamlendig /
Hij vreet er meer van dan hij op kan
(...)

Het lied moet in de eerste helft van de veertiende eeuw in het graafschap Vlaanderen ontstaan zijn, mogelijk in of kort na 1328, het jaar van de Slag bij Kassel. Met deze operatie werd een grootscheepse boerenopstand in het graafschap neergeslagen en in die zin is het lied de spreekwoordelijke trap na...
