About ITF Taekwon-Do
ITF is the International Taekwon-Do Federation, founded on March 22, 1966 in Seoul (south) Korea, by General Choi Hong Hi, who developed Taekwon-Do, to promote the teaching of this martial art.
At that time, nine countries were involved: Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, West Germany, USA, Turkey, Italy, and Egypt. Taekwon-Do is now taught in almost every country in the world, and General Choi is recognized as the Father of Taekwon-Do.
The International Taekwon-Do Federation is legally registered in Spain, with legal address at Calle Mercado 3, 03501 Benidorm, Spain and the official address of ITF Secretary General's Office at 5/B Milenijna Str., 20-884 Lublin, Poland.
The mission of the ITF is to represent, promote, and work for the development of the practice of Taekwon-Do in all countries by:
Coordinating and certifying Taekwon-Do activities such as competitions and seminars.
Setting and enforcing high quality standards for technical and teaching.
Identifying and collaborating with affiliated organizations, such as Continental Federations, National Associations, and Allied National Associations.
Providing assistance to local Taekwon-Do organizations.
Certification for Black Belt holders, international instructors and umpires.
Fundamental Values
Practitioners of Taekwon-Do (TKD) recognize that they are forever students of our Founder, General Choi Hong Hi. The ITF and its affiliated organizations will strengthen and promote the legacy of General Choi as described in his Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do, notably the twenty-four patterns and the philosophy.
The ITF belongs to all its members; it must work for its members and with its members to provide the services they need and want.
The ITF and its affiliated organizations are always open to suggestions from members and encourage innovative ideas.
The ITF and its affiliated organizations are and must remain free of all political influence.
All qualifications and promotions within the ITF and its affiliated organizations will be attributed according to merit and in conformity with well-established criteria.
The respect of hierarchy authority is an important principle in all martial arts. All members of ITF will respect those who are their seniors in the organization, particularly their teacher. On the other hand, the seniors will treat their students and other juniors with respect and fairness.
In his speech to the 14th Congress Meeting in Warsaw (Poland) in June 2003, newly-elected ITF President, Master Trân Trieu Quân outlined the vision the new ITF team has for the organization. The following is an excerpt from that speech:
ITF Taekwon-Do is a sport, a martial art, a way of life, and a tool for social development. How can we work together for progress on all four facets?
Master Trân Trieu Quân
Taekwon-Do is a Martial Art
To improve ITF Taekwon-Do as a martial art, there will be increased emphasis on the traditional core values and protocol.
The teaching of self-defence our "raison d´etre" will be improved.
We will use seminars, documentation, videos, and other means of communication to spread knowledge of ITF Taekwon-Do, reaching out to new markets and to new participants, particularly women.
Taekwon-Do is a Sport
To develop ITF Taekwon-Do as a sport and encourage greater participation in competitions, major changes will be made to tournament rules, to the competition calendar, and to the qualification process.
Training for umpires will be upgraded, and we will investigate the use of a computerized scoring system.
Competitors will be happier and motivated to continue when our competitions are safer and scoring is more precise and reliable.
Competitions held in well-known locations around the globe will focus attention on the ITF and will result in greater visibility.
Taekwon-Do is a Way of Life
To demonstrate the value of ITF Taekwon-Do as a way of life, we must teach all facets of ITF Taekwon-Do, including the Do. I can tell you that General Choi's true last wish and words of guidance for us for the future are found in the introduction to his last book Moral Culture. The General had come to realize that most of the emphasis had been placed on the teaching of the technical aspects of ITF Taekwon-Do. He felt it would be up to the next generation to give equal importance to the teaching of the Do.
We have already started working on a Code of Ethics based on the Do. In future, we will use all the resources available to us to teach the whole ITF Taekwon-Do: the technical and the Do. By studying the Do, our students will grow in understanding of the "why", not only the "how".
The ultimate purpose of life is the search for happiness. Many people suffer because they do not have the proper value system that leads to a balanced life and happiness. We have a solid philosophy and the tools to apply it in our lives. Now we must put in place a structure to teach the mental and spiritual aspects of ITF Taekwon-Do to our students so that they will be able to achieve a balanced life and happiness.
I have been teaching ITF Taekwon-Do as a way of life for many years and I believe we can help people to find a balance between family life, school or work, and ITF Taekwon-Do. Teaching this approach will open many doors to us.
Taekwon-Do can be a Tool for Social Development
To use ITF Taekwon-Do as a tool for social development, we must practice Taekwon-Do not just for ourselves, but also to improve life in our communities. ITF Taekwon-Do can be a powerful tool to help solve social problems such as drug abuse and juvenile delinquency, providing structure, discipline, and self-confidence that carry over into all aspects of life.
We hear a lot about efforts to reduce poverty in the world. By educating people with ITF Taekwon-Do values and practices, and by showing them that there is hope of improving their quality of life, we will be making an important contribution.
The ITF can develop programs such as intensive instructor training for the unemployed and ITF Taekwon-Do courses offered at affordable prices. Starting with small-scale projects, our success will attract the attention and support of international development agencies and governments around the world. In Canada we have had excellent results with this type of program, and we will assist you to implant pilot projects in your countries.
There is a lot of work to be done in this area, but there is also an enormous potential for improvement.
By striving to develop all four facets of Taekwon-Do to the maximum, we can realize our full potential as individuals and as an organization.
Working together, we can do great things!
Promote and develop Taekwon-Do as a means of building a better society on a foundation of peace, freedom, and justice.
Regulate the teaching of Taekwon-Do as well as the development of new methods and practices.
Improve the quality of Taekwon-Do instruction by applying high standards of ethics, conduct, education, and achievement.
Establish and maintain the highest standards of professional ethics and conduct for all members of the ITF.
Coordinate ITF Taekwon-Do activities around the world.
Resolve disagreements and conflicts between members.
Operate the ITF in countries around the globe without discrimination on any basis; this includes race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, and political beliefs.

Sub Heading Torture, ill-treatment rampant in Turkey following 2016 coup: report
Torture, ill-treatment rampant in Turkey following 2016 coup: report
A report jointly published by London Advocacy and Human Rights Solidarity shows how, based on interviews with victims as well as reports from prominent rights groups, Turkish law enforcement and judicial officials employed acts of torture and ill-treatment against people who faced prosecution in the aftermath of a failed coup in the country in 2016, Turkish Minute reported.
The report, titled "Politically Motivated Systematic Torture in Turkey and its Survivors: Interviews with UK-based torture survivors," is the result of the joint work of London Advocacy, a non-profit organization that promotes human rights education and is involved in work to raise awareness about human rights violations worldwide, and Human Rights Solidarity, a London-based rights group.
The report contains excerpts from interviews with 10 victims of torture or ill-treatment in Turkey who were detained or prosecuted in the aftermath of the failed coup due to their perceived links to a faith-based group, the Gülen movement.
The Turkish government, which accuses the Gülen movement of masterminding the failed coup, labelled the movement as a terrorist organization and launched a massive crackdown on its followers following the coup attempt on July 15, 2016. The movement, however, strongly denies any involvement in the failed coup or any acts of terrorism.
Although Turkey is party to international conventions on the prohibition of torture, and its own constitution and laws ban the practice, the country saw a return of reports of torture and ill-treatment under police custody or in prisons following the coup attempt.
In order to avoid torture or mistreatment at the hands of the police or judicial authorities, thousands of people fled the country following the coup attempt and taken refuge in Europe, the US or Canada.
According to the report more than 5,100 people from Turkey applied for asylum in the UK between June 2016 and June 2022, while an estimated 110,000 sought asylum in the EU between 2016 and 2021.
Following the coup attempt Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his government officials as well as some religious leaders employed hostile rhetoric against Gülen followers, portraying them as deserving of acts of torture and mistreatment.
President Erdoğan had likened the Gülen movement to a cancer in a speech in the Black Sea province of Zonguldak in April 2017 and said its followers would not be allowed to enjoy the right to life.
"Our fight against them will continue until the end. We will not leave them wounded," Erdoğan said.
Moreover, government decrees issued during a two-year-long state of emergency imposed in the aftermath of the coup attempt afforded impunity to those who engage in acts of torture and ill-treatment under the pretext of fighting terrorism or the coup.
For the report 30 survivors of Turkey's post-coup acts of torture or ill-treatment completed questionnaires, and 10 of them agreed to give interviews about the ordeals they went through. Participants of the survey included 30 Turkish adults (25 men and five women) who arrived in the UK after the 2016 coup attempt in Turkey to seek asylum. The mean age of the participants was 41. The oldest participant was 58 years old and the youngest was 29.
All 30 participants were charged in Turkey under Article 314 of the Turkish Penal Code, which concerns membership in a terrorist organization, due to their real or alleged affiliation with the Gülen movement. The names of the participants of the survey were kept anonymous due to security concerns.
One of the torture victims, a female teacher referred to in the report as Interviewee 6, said she was blindfolded and that a garbage bag was put on her head at the Ankara Police Station, where she was taken to along with her husband following their detention in İstanbul in August 2016. The teacher said she had a hard time breathing and thought she would die when she refused to give names of other Gülen-linked people to the police.
The teacher said she was unable to report the ill-treatment to a doctor during a compulsory medical examination because of the presence of police officers in the room.
She also said she saw sinks covered with blood in the bathroom and other detainees with apparent signs of ill-treatment on their bodies after they were interrogated.
The victims of torture complained that they were taken to informal interrogations in the absence of a lawyer during which they were insulted, threatened and forced
to give the names of others, while some of them said they were subjected to beating, blindfolding, asphyxiating and undressing accompanied by the threat of rape during these interrogations.
"Each and every one of these accounts provides direct evidence of torture and ill-treatment, contributing to the slow disclosure of torture present in Turkey following the 2016 coup," said the report, which also included recommendations for the Turkish government and international bodies dealing with torture about how acts of torture and ill-treatment in Turkey can be brought to an end.

VeggieBoards > Vegetarian Forums > Vegetarian Support Forum > Food shouldn't HAVE to contain animal derived ingredients
I've been thinking lately about why most food producing companies in this country are not vegan friendly. Foods really do not HAVE to contain animal substances/extracts. Things like eggs, carmine, whey, lactose, etc., could easily be eliminated, and the food could still be manufactured.
So I'm wondering if the FDA/government really DOESN'T want the animal additives to be taken out. They know that animals are pumped full of hormones that probably aren't great for human consumption. Maybe for some undermining reason the FDA wants people to ingest these products. I mean, if the majority of humans start eating a healtier diet and start becoming healthier, it would start to negatively effect the money generated from big business. People wouldn't have as many health problems and therefore, they wouldn't need to see a doctor, repeatedly see more doctors, specialists, start treatments or therapy for their conditions, buy prescription medications, purchase goods from pharmacies (such as over-the-counter drugs or, for example, diabetic equipment.) Pharmaceutical companies are of major importance to the stock market and I'm sure the government, big business, and share holders certainly don't want people to start getting healthy and going off their meds. Anyway, maybe I'm way off here. It's just strange that in this day and age, when a lot of people are looking for easy ways to become healthy, lose weight, look younger, etc... why isn't veganism more prevalent in the food industry? It's also weird that many products, (soy cheese for example) still contain things like casein, when products like that are geared toward us veg heads? Why can't it be taken out? I don't get it. Who knows, it's just a thought, but maybe I'm overthinking it?

I thought the dairy they've added to Duncan Hines mixes recently was pretty uncalled for.

It would be interesting if there was some kind of test where people were fed some product first without some minuscule animal ingredient and then with it, and were asked about the difference and which was which. The difference would have to be somewhat significant in order to make it wise to leave out potential vegan consumers.

What I don't get is gelatine. What's the point, why do food companies put them cakes, buiscuits, candy and so on. What does it do? Can't they just leave it out or put in a vegetable substitute?

Carmine is annoying. Especially in makeup too, that's why I can never find vegan makeup. It's also in TJ brand strawberry soymilk. Why can't they just used a red food coloring??!
I don't think the manufacturers think about it at all when they put trace ingredients in stuff like bread. It's really hard to find a good selection of vegan bread because they put 2% or less of whey/honey, etc. It's so stupid. It's also crazy that the soy cheese manufacturers put casein in soy cheese when they don't realize a big percentage of people buying soy cheese are vegan or allergic to milk.
It's completely ridiculous to put trace amounts of animal ingredients in food because such a little amount of what they put in cannot possibly change anything about the product. They have no real reason to add it just for the heck of it.It's not like they have to put a V on their products if they were worried about scaring away omnis because most of them don't even read the ingredients and say Hey I'm not buying this, there's no animal ingredients in it! The most logical explanation is that it doesn't cross their minds to make their products marketable to vegans and they are so used to disassociating the names of animal products with the animals they come from. Just like most omnis refer to cow as beef and hamburger.

Simple answer? Money...after all is said and done, it's usually money. Companies don't want to spend $$ to reformulate their products when they don't view "animal ingredients" as bad, or unhealthy. It was the same with trans fats until they started to have evidence on the negative health effects, and people were becoming more informed, so the FDA finally did something. So many industries are connected, especially the meat and dairy industries, and with politics added to it, most companies just don't want to deal with it, or care at all to even consider it.

some animal derived ingredients have benefits. others are simply in there because it's a rather have it, versus rather not situation. my personal opinion is that yes, money & time investment would make reforumulating some of the most popular brands a big issue. furthermore, there must be overwhelming demand before such a move is taken. in addition, companies are out to serve the majority, not the few.

The most under-rated but I think most respected and admired of the James Bond actors, Timothy Dalton, was born.
My first screen 007 and that means my true interpretation of the character.
He's only 69. We hashed this out in other threads.
...Regardless it is his birthday, right?
Happy Birthday to the living embodiment of Ian Fleming's James Bond 007!
Happy Birthday, Timothy and many, many years to come!
Happy Birthday to the man who is head and shoulders above the rest.
Yes, today is Mr. Dalton's birthday.
According to his bio on 007.com, he turns 69 today.
69? Crikey - I've been sold false information!
Regardless, he looks great and still as dashing as ever.
Why is there debate on whether he was born in 1944 or 1946?
...I know, it's embarrassing to have two dates floating around out there on the web that misled me!
Belated birthday wishes to the Bond who was brought up just a few miles down the A38 from my home town to his - Belper, Derbyshire. He certainly deserved to do more than two films. I like to think he started what Daniel Craig is doing now.
Such a shame and so not fair to have a man of his calibre discarded after just 2. Much love for the Dalton.

CAN in Automation released in September 2017, the CANopen FD specification CiA 1301. CANopen FD is an improved CANopen. It supports most of the well-known CANopen features and complements CANopen by a more flexible communication objects that enable a higher data throughput as well as security solutions. With regard to diagnostics, CANopen FD has introduced a comprehensive diagnostic memory. The diagnostic memory allows reporting all application-related error and warning events that occur during system runtime. Via CANopen FD object dictionary entries this diagnostic memory can be controlled; e.g. a defined control mechanism enables to select the way the errors shall be recorded, e.g. according to a FIFO or ring buffer-principle. Furthermore system designers can select the type of events that shall be reported; e.g. is it relevant to record errors of a specific priority, the error vanish events, etc. Compared to classical CANopen, the error events themselves are stored together with much more information. In addition to the type of error, CANopen FD provides information on error event time and severity. Additionally, CANopen FD devices provide detailed information on the part of the CANopen FD device that is affected.Thanks to the real bus-line architecture supported in CAN-based systems, one error recording device is sufficient (e.g. a data logger) and system maintainers are enabled to evaluate easily the error scenario and to assess appropriate counter measures.

America's Gray Wolves
Few animals evoke the wild like wolves: Majestic, intelligent and highly social, they're crucial in driving evolution and balancing ecosystems. Wolves once roamed freely throughout North America, in numbers estimated at some 2 million. But federal extermination programs reduced their numbers to the breaking point.
By the 1960s gray wolves were finally protected under what would become the Endangered Species Act. They had been exterminated from all the contiguous United States except for a portion of Minnesota and Isle Royale National Park in Michigan.
Trump is gearing up to strip protection from nearly every wolf in the lower 48.
We're fighting back with Call of the Wild, a national grassroots campaign to save America's wolves. Please join us.
A REMARKABLE COMEBACK, BUT A LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY
After receiving federal protection, gray wolves saw tremendous recovery in the western Great Lakes region. Their populations grew and expanded through Wisconsin and Michigan. Through natural migration from Canada and reintroduction to Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho, wolves returned to the northern Rockies and are establishing a toehold in the West Coast states. Recovering populations exist in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon, with a few wolves beginning to range into California. In the Southwest Mexican gray wolves have also seen some recovery, but to a lesser degree. Just seven surviving Mexican gray wolves were captured between 1977 and 1980 and bred in captivity. Their progeny were reintroduced into Arizona and New Mexico, but this subspecies of gray wolf continues to struggle in the United States and Mexico.
Despite these substantial gains, the job of wolf recovery is far from over. Wolves need connected populations for genetic sustainability, and natural ecosystems need wolves to maintain a healthy balance of species — yet today wolves occupy less than 10 percent of their historic range and continue to face persecution. The Center has worked to save wolves since our inception, and we continue to defend them through science, the law and with our supporters' help.
OUR WORK TO SAVE GRAY WOLVES NATIONWIDE
Since the Center's inception, we have campaigned for wolves, adapting our efforts as the opportunities for recovery changed. We have taken the long view, even while addressing short-term threats.
Our legal work led to the 1998 reintroduction of Mexican gray wolves into the Apache and Gila national forests. The Center, founded in the Gila in 1989 and maintaining staff in the reintroduction area to the present day, monitors wolf and habitat management. We have vigorously challenged federal shooting and trapping of Mexican wolves and are pushing for the resumption of wolf releases from captivity to the wild. We've petitioned and sued for changes in wolf management, development of a new, science-based Mexican wolf recovery plan, and listing of the Mexican wolf as an endangered subspecies. We help organize public pressure on agencies and elected officials to provide maximum protection for the beleaguered Mexican wolves.
In the northern Rocky Mountains, the Center was part of several successful lawsuits that delayed the removal of federal protections for wolves from April 2003, when first promulgated by the Bush administration, until May 2011, when protections were finally (though still prematurely) removed through an infamous congressional rider. Our legal efforts helped to allow the wolf population to grow by 1,000 animals during those eight years, from 761 to 1,774. Now that management has been turned over to state wildlife managers, we fight to protect wolves from trophy hunting and other exploitation.
We have also stood up for protection of the growing but still vulnerable population of wolves in the West Coast states of Washington, Oregon and California. In Oregon and Washington, we're pushing state wildlife-management agencies to protect the recovering populations and use nonlethal methods to address any conflicts with the agriculture industry. In California our petition led to wolves receiving protection under the state Endangered Species Act. Because of the Center's successful state-listing petition, any wolves that disperse to California are now fully protected under state law, and harming, harassing or killing a wolf in California for any reason other than in defense of human life is illegal.
In the Midwest multiple lawsuits filed by the Center and allies have fought back against the feds' efforts to prematurely remove their protections, allowing continued growth in the wolf population. And we've kept the pressure on state wildlife-management agencies dead set on killing wolves, including a challenge to Minnesota's first-ever regulated wolf-hunting season. Even with our successful lawsuits, wolves remain under attack in Congress, where anti-wolf legislators have continued to try to undo court rulings by attaching delisting riders to major federal budget bills. With the help of Center supporters making calls and sending emails to their members of Congress, we've been able to stop these efforts to permanently end Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves in Wyoming and the western Great Lakes states.
The year 2019 brought an attack on wolves from the Trump administration, which proposed to remove protections from nearly every gray wolf in the lower 48 states. Our "Call of the Wild" campaign has held rallies and community hearings across the country and sent more than a million comments opposing the plan to strip wolf protections.
Since the original wolf recovery plans were written in the 1980s, we've learned much more about wolves' behavior, ecology and needs. We know, for example, that returning wolves to ecosystems sets off a chain of events that benefits many species, including songbirds and beavers that gain from a return of streamside vegetation — which thrives in the absence of browsing elk that must move more often to avoid wolves — and pronghorn and foxes that are aided by wolves' control of coyote populations.
A mere 5,000 to 6,000 wolves occupy less than 10 percent of the animals' historic range in the lower 48 states. Establishing wolf populations in remaining suitable habitat in the Northeast, southern Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Pacific Northwest, California and elsewhere would secure a future for wolves and allow them to play their valuable ecological role in more of their former range. The Center seeks an end to wolf persecution and seeks to link isolated wolf populations together to combat inbreeding and allow ecosystem rejuvenation on a broader scale.
Your support is crucial to our fight to save wolves and other species.

Housing starts in the United States are expected to approach 1.25 million in 2018, an increase of 2.7 percent from 2017 but still short of the 1.5 million justified by population growth.
That's according to the National Association of Home Builders and its chief economist, Robert Dietz.
NAHB forecasts 1,248,000 total housing starts for 2018, compared to 1,215,000 in 2017.
Broken down, 2018 starts are expected to include 893,000 single-family units, up from 854,000 in 2017, and 354,000 multifamily units, down from 360,000 in 2017.
The forecasts draw considerable attention from all housing industry sectors, especially cabinet makers and others involved in kitchen and bath construction, because housing starts correlate directly with demand for kitchen and bath fixtures and materials.
Single-family growth in 2018 would continue a steady incline that has seen starts grow from 620,000 in 2013. Multifamily construction, on the other hand, peaked at 395,000 units in 2015 and has fallen each year since.
In an NAHB construction forecast webinar, Dietz said housing inventory would remain tight for the foreseeable future, and he cited "three Ls" as primary reasons: labor, lots and lending.
One partial remedy could be increased productivity, Dietz said, noting that construction sector productivity is up just 3 percent since 1993, compared to 30 percent for the rest of the economy.
Regarding the other two "Ls," Dietz said lot supplies are "low or very low," still struggling to recover after the land development pipeline dried up during the recession, while lending growth remains slow because of the higher regulatory burden of Dodd-Frank.
Residential remodeling is projected to grow a robust 7.5 percent in 2018 to nearly $340 million, continuing a growth trend that began in 2016, said Manuel Gutierrez, consulting economist to the National Kitchen & Bath Association.
The rooms that typically see the most spending are kitchens and baths, which are likely to generate a greater return on investment than other rooms, and Gutierrez expects spending on them to increase 9.4 percent for the year. That breaks down to about 10 percent for kitchens and 8 percent for baths.
Gutierrez cited two "major policy events" as stimulating factors for remodeling growth: the federal tax reform act and a reduction in regulations.
"The federal tax reform act … has changed radically the tax structure in the nation. This will impact directly consumers' pocket book by lowering their tax burden and thereby increasing their take-home pay," he said.
Two other factors that influence the optimistic outlook are household mobility and home ownership. Both have turned positive in the last few years after consistent declines. That's a good thing for the remodeling industry because homeowners remodel at a higher rate than rental property owners, he said, and people are more likely to remodel after they move into new homes.
Leah Peterson, executive vice president of the SEN Design Group, which is the kitchen and bath industry's largest buying group, predicted that growth would be steady for the remodeling industry in 2018.
"Our kitchen and bath showroom and design/build firm members across the country continue to be extremely busy, booking jobs several months out and, in some cases, by more than three months' time," she said.
The majority of SEN Design's members have planned 5 to 10 percent sales increases and 2 to 4 percent increases in net profit. Consumer spending should remain strong through the first half of 2019, absent a world event, Peterson said.
"While business is strong, it's vital business owners truly understand their financials and pad their bank accounts. This will help ensure their viability through the next recession and a faster rebound for all of us when we come out of it," she said.
In the NAHB webinar, Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody's Analytics, said prospects are good for the economy continuing to perform well through the end of the decade. The current economic expansion, which is in its ninth year, is the third longest in history and is likely to pass the 10-year tech expansion of the 1990s as the longest ever.
Dietz said his forecast does not include a recession over the next few years and instead projects "modest growth." Extended to five or six years, however, the chance of a recession grows to 50 percent, he said.
NAHB's numbers show total housing starts growing to 1,284,000 in 2019, including 940,000 single-family units and 344,000 multifamily. The association expects the prime interest rate to climb to 4.98 percent in 2018 and 5.66 percent in 2019.
Despite the growth, single-family starts in the foreseeable future will remain below the 1.5 million justified by population trends, Dietz said.


This thesis aims to discover the mechanisms of imitation by testing the predictions of three theories. These are Associative Sequence Learning Theory (Heyes and Ray, 2000), Ideomotor Theory (e.g. Prinz, 1997), and Active Intermodal Mapping (e.g. Meltzoff Moore, 1997). Chapter 1 identifies three issues upon which the theories of imitation can be differentiated. The first is concerned with the development of effector-dependent representations through observation. The second and third relate to the role of awareness and experience in imitation. These differences form the basis of the experiments reported in Chapters 2, 3 and 4. Experiments 1 - 3 (Chapter 2) investigated whether effector-dependent representations could be formed through action observation. A series of tests based on the serial reaction task (SRT) were utilised. It was found that with relatively short, simple movement sequences, participants learned the structure of the sequence as effector-dependent motor representations. Sequence knowledge could not be expressed using effectors other than those used by the observed model. Experiments 4 - 6 (Chapter 3) used similar tests to those in Chapter 2 but investigated whether a longer, more complex, movement sequence could be learned implicitly i.e. without concurrent awareness. Two experiments suggested that observation of a movement sequence, but not inanimate stimuli, could support implicit learning. Experiments 7 and 8 (Chapter 4) investigated the role of experience in imitation. It was shown that while responses made to movement stimuli were faster when stimulus and response movements matched, compared to when they were different, the advantage for matching movements disappeared after incompatible training. This result supports an experience-based, rather than innate, view of imitation. The results of the experiments reported in this thesis suggest imitation is experience- based, supports effector-dependent learning by observation, and can operate without awareness. This combination is best described by Associative Sequence Learning Theory.

Butch Harrison
…with PCJ since 2010
This Butch Harrison CD is a perfect example of how misleading first impressions can be when it comes to music. What It Is gets off to a post-bop start with the opener "Butch's Blues," a straight-ahead jazz instrumental that gives Harrison a chance to stretch out on trumpet (Freddie Hubbard andLee Morgan are influences on Harrison's trumpet solos, and there are hints of Miles Davis when he uses a mute). If "Butch's Blues" is the listener's introduction to Harrison, it's easy to assume that he/she is getting an album of instrumental jazz. But after that opener, Harrison shifts gears; everything that follows is vocal-oriented R&B, albeit with some jazz-tinged trumpet solos (Harrison also plays flügelhorn, trombone, and electric keyboards). None of the tunes that come after "Butch's Blues" are instrumentals, and none of them are straight-ahead jazz. But if this 2010 release doesn't have a lot to offer from a straight-ahead jazz standpoint, it's generally decent from an R&B standpoint. Harrisongets a great deal of inspiration from the R&B of the '70s and early '80s; that era is clearly on his mind whether he is offering funk jams like "Party Over Here" and "Freak-N–You" or getting into a romantic quiet storm groove on "So Afraid of Love," "Dreamin'," and "When You Smile." Actually, What It Is brings to mind the albums that artists like George Duke, Patrice Rushen, and George Benson were offering after they made the switch to R&B. Duke, Rushen, and Benson all started out as jazz instrumentalists and began selling a lot more records after they made vocal-oriented R&B their main focus, but even on their R&B albums, there were hints of their jazz backgrounds — and the same type of thing happens with Harrison on What It Is. Harrison, in other words, doesn't necessarily put jazz out of his mind when he is singing R&B. But again, it's important to remember that this is an R&B vocal album first and foremost — and while the disc is slightly uneven, there are more pros than cons on What It Is.

The legal battle between Atlanta Hawks swingman Thabo Sefolosha and the NYPD is far from over—Sefolosha is filing a lawsuit of up to $50 million against the city of New York and eight cops over what he calls "permanent" injuries from an arrest last April.
Sefolosha, 31, was forced to sit out the Hawks' postseason run after he was manhandled by the police.
The 10-year NBA veteran was found not guilty of all criminal charges stemming from the arrest earlier this month.
Thabo Sefolosha of the Atlanta Hawks says in a legal notice that the broken leg he suffered when cops pushed him to the ground outside celebrity hot spot 1Oak last April caused him to "become substantially disabled." […] The physical "damages are permanent in nature and continuing into the future," according to the notice of claim filed with the city's comptroller.
Sefolosha's defense lawyer, Alex Spiro, said the player's exceptional performance on the court doesn't mean he wasn't permanently injured. […] "Unfortunately, he may not be dunking as much as he was before this happened," the attorney said.

2004 Junior development champion of the year: Emma Hubbs
By Cynthia Cantrell
In the small city of Dixon, Ill. (population 16,000), it's likely anyone involved in tennis is familiar with Emma Hubbs. Aside from teaching at the Dixon Park District for 57 years, her name is stamped on the Emma Hubbs Tennis Classic, Emma Hubbs Tennis Center and Emma Hubbs Tennis Courts in Page Park.
Now 75 years old, Hubbs' only concession to age is deciding to step down as head coach of the Dixon High School boys' tennis team. She still serves as assistant coach of the girls' team, a role she has held for 14 years.
"I don't mind being on court [with the boys]; I just don't like the paperwork," Hubbs says. "Give me a bucket of balls, and I'll still outrun them."
For her tireless efforts to grow the game in Dixon, Hubbs is RSI's 2004 Junior Development Champion of the Year.
Debra Carey, executive director of the Dixon Park District, says Hubbs manages the entire indoor and outdoor tennis operation, ranging from the Tiny Tots program for 3- and 4-year-olds to excellence clinics for competitive juniors and adults. "Emma brings sunshine every day with her optimistic spirit," says Carey, who has worked with Hubbs for 17 years. "We have a small staff, and if we're short a secretary, she'll even help answer phones. She's always cheerful, always happy to do what needs to be done."
"When you think of tennis in Dixon, you think of Mrs. Hubbs," says Mark Saunders, executive director of the USTA Midwest Section, who saw her impact on junior tennis first-hand while growing up in nearby Rockford, Ill. "She'd bring busloads of kids from Dixon to play our tournaments in Rockford, and she still works just as hard getting everyone she can to pick up a racquet."
In fact, he added, her unwavering commitment to the game is part of the reason why the Dixon Park District this year received a $1,000 Tennis in the Park grant from the Midwest Section and National Recreation and Park Association.
A lifelong resident of Dixon, Hubbs says she grew up hitting against the backboard and chasing balls for older players. After graduating from Dixon High in 1947, she joined the Dixon Park District, working in the office and teaching tennis. Her promotion in 1956 to supervisor was, she says, "for the birds. I wanted to teach, not get in my car and check on people."
While her three children are proud of their mother, says her son, Ed Hubbs, tennis director for the City of Omaha, Neb., they wish she wouldn't work so hard. Last February, for instance, she missed seeing her granddaughter, Cameron Hubbs of Omaha, claim a USTA Girls' 14s singles title when she returned home to teach her regularly scheduled lesson.
Having attained her goal — and then some — of teaching the sport she loves for 50 years, Hubbs claims she will retire at age 80.
"I keep thinking I should slow down. Then I wonder, why? I just love being around the kids," she says. "I'm just giving back."
Hubb's Tips for Success
Pitch in and help when and where needed, even if it's not your job.
A cheerful attitude helps inspire those around you.
Dedication and commitment to the program will pay off through recognition, grant money, etc.

Aspen Lasers is a great company. We really enjoyed working with them on their site. Sometimes you have a chance to work with extraordinary people, and these are some of them. Their dedication to their clients is something to take note of.


2 The Lord pitilessly engulfed all the homes of Jacob; in his fury he tore down the fortresses of the daughter of Judah; he threw to the ground, he desecrated the kingdom and its princes.
3 In his burning anger he broke all the might of Israel, withdrew his protecting right hand at the coming of the enemy, and blazed against Jacob like a fire that burns up everything near it.
4 Like an enemy he bent his bow, and his right hand held firm; like a foe he slaughtered all those who were a delight to see; on the tent of the daughter of Zion he poured out his fury like fire.
5 The Lord behaved like an enemy; he engulfed Israel, he engulfed all its citadels, he destroyed its fortresses and for the daughter of Judah multiplied weeping on wailing.
6 He wrecked his domain like a garden, destroyed his assembly-points, Yahweh erased the memory of festivals and Sabbaths in Zion; in the heat of his anger he treated king and priest with contempt.
7 The Lord has rejected his altar, he has come to loathe his sanctuary and has given her palace walls into the clutches of the enemy; from the uproar they made in Yahweh's temple it might have been a festival day!
8 Yahweh has resolved to destroy the walls of the daughter of Zion, stretching out the line, not staying his hand until he has engulfed everything, thus bringing mourning on wall and rampart; alike they crumbled.
9 Her gates have sunk into the ground; he has broken and shattered their bars. Her king and her princes are among the gentiles, there is no instruction, furthermore her prophets cannot find any vision from Yahweh.
10 Mute, they sit on the ground, the elders of the daughter of Zion; they have put dust on their heads and wrapped themselves in sackcloth. The young girls of Jerusalem bow their heads to the ground.
11 My eyes are worn out with weeping, my inmost being is in ferment, my heart plummets at the destruction of my young people, as the children and babies grow faint in the streets of the city.
12 They keep saying to their mothers, 'Where is some food?' as they faint like wounded men in the streets of the city, as they breathe their last on their mothers' breasts.
13 To what can I compare or liken you, daughter of Jerusalem? Who can rescue and comfort you, young daughter of Zion? For huge as the sea is your ruin: who can heal you?
14 The visions your prophets had for you were deceptive whitewash; they did not lay bare your guilt so as to change your fortunes: the visions they told you were deceptive.
17 Yahweh has done what he planned, has carried out his threat, as he ordained long ago: he has destroyed without pity, increasing the might of your foes—and letting your foes get the credit.
18 Cry then to the Lord, rampart of the daughter of Zion; let your tears flow like a torrent, day and night; allow yourself no respite, give your eyes no rest!
19 Up, cry out in the night-time as each watch begins! Pour your heart out like water in Yahweh's presence! Raise your hands to him for the lives of your children (who faint with hunger at the end of every street)!
20 Look, Yahweh, and consider: whom have you ever treated like this? Should women eat their little ones, the children they have nursed? Should priest and prophet be slaughtered in the Lord's sanctuary?
21 Children and old people are lying on the ground in the streets; my young men and young girls have fallen by the sword; you have killed them, on the day of your anger, you have slaughtered them pitilessly.
22 As though to a festival you called together terrors from all sides, so that, on the day of Yahweh's anger, none escaped and none survived. Those whom I had nursed and reared, my enemy has annihilated them all.


How to save £1000 a year – on coffee!
Life's too short to live without coffee!
So fear not! You can save money by making coffee at home. And if you follow my tips it'll be streets ahead of the undrinkable stuff you buy in that place with the green logo that I can't even bring myself to mention.
For us single mums, it's also a whole lot easier to have your decent caffeine supply readily available in your own kitchen. No more having to get dressed and drag the kids out to the shops just to get your fix.
But first, are you read for a hard truth?
OK, you might not like what I'm going to say next. Most people don't. But in the UK we generally have NO IDEA what a good cup of coffee tastes like.
I know people who think the free stuff you can get in Waitrose is 'good coffee'! And yes, we flock to the unmentionable place I've already alluded to above.
Despite that, recent research found that on average we Brits spend £2,110 a year on coffee!
And mostly on stuff that tastes like it's been scraped off the bottom of a burnt saucepan. I spend WAY less than that on my coffee addiction, and I'm willing to bet that the stuff I drink tastes a lot better than what you're buying for 2000 smackers a year!
What's so important about coffee?
It's just an everyday hot drink, right? WRONG.
I'm a coffee snob. And I don't care who knows it.
I rarely admit that the Aussies do anything better than we do. But having lived there for eight years of my adult life, I KNOW their coffee game is way ahead of ours.
Their independent coffee shop culture is so strong that when I moved out there in 2008 Starbucks had just shut down most of their shops.
Aussies do NOT tolerate sub-standard coffee. It's practically impossible to get BAD coffee out there. Even in Woop-Woop, as the Aussies call the middle of nowhere.
So you can blame them the Aussies for my snobby ways. When you drink truly great coffee every day it becomes more than just a caffeine-fuelled hot drink. It's an essential part of my self-care routine. It's time each morning to treat myself like queen.
I might save money on coffee but making it at home but I certainly don't skimp on how I make it. However, I'm the first to admit that my coffee routine is probably far too much of a faff for most people.
Every morning when I get home from the school run I crank up my espresso machine. I use freshly roasted beans, grind them myself, froth the milk and pour myself the perfect latte.
I look forward to my coffee every morning. And it costs me about £9 a month. I go through about a bag and a half of Pact Coffee beans per month at £5.95 a month.
Yes, £5.95 for a bag of coffee is on the pricey side but compare that to buying a latte at Costa every day at £2.45 per DAY for ONE cup.
That's £74 a month and £894 a year – without the almond croissant or blueberry muffin I'd be tempted to buy as well!
You don't need to grind your beans or have an espresso machine like mine. You can buy your coffee ready ground and use a cafetiere or one of these. All the savings with none of the fuss and bother.
Here's a little known fact.
So concerned was I about the bad coffee in my home country that I did a barista course with one of Australia's biggest coffee producers before I moved back to England. I had a master plan to save the UK from bad coffee by opening my own cafe. Instead, I've only saved myself from bad coffee – but hopefully I can save you too.
Most coffee in supermarkets has been sitting on the shelf for weeks already and was probably roasted months, or maybe as much as a year ago. So it's stale before you even begin.
Ideally coffee should be brewed within a month of when it's roasted. That's why I buy my coffee from Pact. They're based in London and their coffee is roasted just days before delivered to my door. The roasting date is printed on each packet.
This is the single thing you can do that will make the biggest difference to the taste of your coffee. You can see and smell the difference as soon as you open the packet.
2 | Don't store your coffee in the fridge or freezer!
Put your beans or coffee grounds in an airtight container like a masons jar, which is how I store mine, and keep it in a cool, dry place. NOT the fridge or freezer (unless you bought so much you won't be able to drink it within 2-3 weeks, then it might make sense to freeze some to keep it fresh).
Coffee is very porous and moving it in and out of the cold will cause condensation to form, which wrecks the coffee.
I sometimes buy Pact's ground coffee, for instance to take on holiday. If you're not as much of a fuss-pot about coffee as me then you could do this all the time.
However, buying whole beans is best because ideally you should grind your coffee just before you brew it. But I well aware that the ideal world is often far too much of a faff.
Incase you don't mind a bit of faff in the name of coffee nirvana, my brother bought me this little hand ceramic grinder as a Christmas present a couple of years ago and it's ideal. It takes a bit of time, especially if you're making coffee for more than one person, but it's one of my favourite parts of the ritual.
So tell me, are you a fellow coffee snob? If you'd like to carry on drinking a decent latte/capuccino/flat-white but also save yourself some pennies I hope I've inspired you to get your home coffee-making act together!
Have you got any other way to save money on coffee?
Don't forget, if you use this link to sign-up to get deliveries from Pact Coffee you'll get £5 off your first order!
I used to love coffee – been drinking it for about 20 years. I almost always bought beans and manually ground them. I have recently quit drinking it as I found it was making me unwell and not helping my anxiety. I've also quit booze too! Another thing I thought I would never hear myself say. All for health reasons but will definitely save me money – an exciting thought! Glad to have found your blog being a self-employed single mummy myself.
Good for you Katrina – I'd definitely miss coffee if I had to give it up like you have, but alcohol I could live without! Thanks for reading!
