Introduction to the Bahá'í Faith by Shoghi Effendi
The Bahá'í Faith upholds the unity of God, recognizes the unity of His Prophets, and inculcates the principle of the oneness and wholeness of the entire human race. It proclaims the necessity and the inevitability of the unification of mankind, asserts that it is gradually approaching, and claims that nothing short of the transmuting spirit of God, working through His chosen Mouthpiece in this day, can ultimately succeed in bringing it about. It, moreover, enjoins upon its followers the primary duty of an unfettered search after truth, condemns all manner of prejudice and superstition, declares the purpose of religion to be the promotion of amity and concord, proclaims its essential harmony with science, and recognizes it as the foremost agency for the pacification and the orderly progress of human society. It unequivocally maintains the principle of equal rights, opportunities and privileges for men and women, insists on compulsory education, eliminates extremes of poverty and wealth, abolishes the institution of priesthood, prohibits slavery, asceticism, mendicancy and monasticism, prescribes monogamy, discourages divorce, emphasizes the necessity of strict obedience to one's government, exalts any work performed in the spirit of service to the level of worship, urges either the creation or the selection of an auxiliary international language, and delineates the outlines of those institutions that must establish and perpetuate the general peace of mankind.
The Bahá'í Faith revolves around three central Figures, the first of whom was a youth, a native of Shíráz, named Mírzá 'Alí Muhammad, known as the Báb (Gate), who in May 1844, at the age of twenty-five, advanced the claim of being the Herald Who according to the sacred Scriptures of previous Dispensations, must needs announce and prepare the way for the advent of One greater than Himself, Whose mission would be, according to those same Scriptures, to inaugurate an era of righteousness and peace, an era that would be hailed as the consummation of all previous Dispensations, and initiate a new cycle in the religious history of mankind. Swift and severe persecution, launched by the organized forces of Church and State in His native land, precipitated successively His arrest, His exile to the mountains of Ádhirbáyján, His imprisonment in the fortresses of Máh-Kú and Chihríq, and His execution, in July 1850, by a firing squad in the public square of Tabríz…
Mírzá Husayn-'Alí, surnamed Bahá'u'lláh (the Glory of God), a native of Mazindarán, Whose advent the Báb [Herald and Forerunner of Bahá'u'lláh] had foretold, … was imprisoned in Tihrán, was banished, in 1852, from His native land to Baghdád, and thence to Constantinople and Adrianople, and finally to the prison city of Akká, where He remained incarcerated for no less than twenty-four years, and in whose neighborhood He passed away in 1892. In the course of His banishment, and particularly in Adrianople and Akká, He formulated the laws and ordinances of His Dispensation, expounded, in over a hundred volumes, the principles of His Faith, proclaimed His Message to the kings and rulers of both the East and the West, both Christian and Muslim, addressed the Pope, the Caliph of Islam, the Chief Magistrates of the Republics of the American continent, the entire Christian sacerdotal order, the leaders of Shí'ih and Sunní Islam, and the high priests of the Zoroastrian religion. In these writings He proclaimed His Revelation, summoned those whom He addressed to heed His call and espouse His Faith, warned them of the consequences of their refusal, and denounced, in some cases, their arrogance and tyranny.
His eldest son, 'Abbás Effendi, known as 'Abdu'l-Bahá (the Servant of Bahá), appointed by Him as His lawful successor and the authorized interpreter of His teachings, Who since early childhood had been closely associated with His Father, and shared His exile and tribulations, remained a prisoner until 1908, when, as a result of the Young Turk Revolution, He was released from His confinement. Establishing His residence in Haifa, He embarked soon after on His three-year journey to Egypt, Europe and North America, in the course of which He expounded before vast audiences, the teachings of His Father and predicted the approach of that catastrophe that was soon to befall mankind. He returned to His home on the eve of the first World War, in the course of which He was exposed to constant danger, until the liberation of Palestine by the forces under the command of General Allenby, who extended the utmost consideration to Him and to the small band of His fellow-exiles in Akká and Haifa…
The passing of 'Abdu'l-Bahá [in 1921] marked the termination of the first and Heroic Age of the Bahá'í Faith and signalized the opening of the Formative Age destined to witness the gradual emergence of its Administrative Order, whose establishment had been foretold by the Báb, whose laws were revealed by Bahá'u'lláh, whose outlines were delineated by 'Abdu'l-Bahá in His Will and Testament, and whose foundations are now being laid by the national and local coucils which are elected by the professed adherents of the Faith…
This Administrative Order, unlike the systems evolved after the death of the Founders of the various religions, is divine in origin, rests securely on the laws, the precepts, the ordinances and institutions which the Founder of the Faith has Himself specifically laid down and unequivocally established, and functions in strict accordance with the interpretations of the authorized Interpreters of its holy scriptures…
The Faith which this order serves, safeguards and promotes is, it should be noted in this connection, essentially supernatural, supranational, entirely non-political, non-partisan, and diametrically opposed to any policy or school of thought that seeks to exalt any particular race, class or nation. It is free from any form of ecclesiasticism, has neither priesthood nor rituals, and is supported exclusively by voluntary contributions made by its avowed adherents. Though loyal to their respective governments, though imbued with the love of their own country, and anxious to promote at all times, its best interests, the followers of the Bahá'í Faith, nevertheless, viewing mankind as one entity, and profoundly attached to its vital interests, will not hesitate to subordinate every particular interest, be it personal, regional or national, to the over-riding interests of the generality of mankind, knowing full well that in a world of interdependent peoples and nations the advantage of the part is best to be reached by the advantage of the whole, and that no lasting result can be achieved by any of the component parts if the general interests of the entity itself are neglected…

Merrion Hall
MLB Sportingbet
The site on Strand Road, Sandymount was developed by the Property Corporation of Ireland in 1973 based on 1960's technology and became the Head Office of Irish Shipping Limited from March 1974.
Merrion Hall consists of three floors of office space spread over a total floor area of 3,826 m2 overlooking a central courtyard. The building comprises of a mixture of open plan and cellular offices.
The building's heating is provided by gas boilers and the cooling is provided by electric chillers. The HVAC system was the original induction system which operated at a constant volume. As per 1960's technology which was used at the time of construction, all the heating was provided by the main AHU and all the cooling supplied by induction coils around the perimeter of each floor. The main challenges were:
1. The lighting installation comprised of a mixture of 4x18W T8 fluorescent light fittings in addition to Pars and Dichroic down-lighters. These are installed recessed into a tiled ceiling, with the light fittings being supported off the slab above from threaded rods, and not the ceiling itself.
2. Inadequate lighting controls existed on any of the floors; with floor space being switched centrally, giving little flexibility in respect of the use of space and occupancy.
3. Due to the lack of temperature zoning on floors there was an imbalance in the temperature profile, tenant discomfort and excessive running costs through higher gas and electricity consumption.
The lighting upgrade involved the replacement of up to 400 4x14W T5 fluorescent fittings and a mixture of 3W and 12W LED down-lighters to yield a reduction in lighting energy consumption, whilst providing adequate lighting levels in all areas. Presence sensors were introduced in key areas where lighting is not required when areas are unoccupied – e.g. corridors, stairwells, storage rooms, and office spaces. Daylight sensors were installed on the inner and outer perimeter areas to maximise the benefit of natural day-lighting where possible. The project also included rewiring the lighting installation to create multiple circuits on each floor, thus allowing only those occupied areas to be lit as required. On-going savings will be achieved through a reduction of 20% of the number of fittings; more efficient lamps introduced and optimised lighting controls.
In order to address the heating challenge within the building we installed an additional 30 heater batteries on each floor which will create 6 different zones on each floor. Dampers were installed to restrict air flow to vacant areas, and VSD's were installed within the AHU plant to control air volume. Pre-heating is now provided by the AHU with zones that require additional heat will receive this by heater batteries; therefore tenants in different areas on the same floor can have a comfortable working environment regardless of solar gains. An upgrade of the Building Management System to control the temperature in each zone, with additional temperature stats installed on each floor. The BMS will control actuators on the valve sets of the heater batteries depending on the temperature in the zone it serves.
With an upgrade to the BMS and the heater battery installation we calculated a saving of approximately 22.5% in the gas consumption.
These projects combine excellent energy savings with a significant upgrading of services in terms of lighting, heating and building controls. This refurbishment of services was a cost-effective solution executed with little or no disruption to client services. The projected savings are 139,509kg CO2 annually.
A significant reduction in running costs with over 22.5% savings on heating and cooling. Significant savings on running costs for lighting reducing lighting energy consumption by 64%. Lower maintenance costs and an improved life cycle costing due to vastly improved performance of the new fittings, guaranteed for 3 years, represent additional savings. The projected payback period of less than 36months. Frontline's solution has delivered an office building with enhanced comfort levels and improved flexibility for end users in terms of occupancy and layout. With greater monitoring and control capabilities and improved energy efficiency and improving sustainability.
This was achieved without huge capital outlay and business interruption; in addition the energy and other savings will allow the costs to be recouped in a short period.
This is an exemplar retrofit project of older buildings, as it provides significant energy savings to a
1960's building system which was inefficient and did not meet modern standards. Through the combination of various energy efficiency technologies using innovative applications, measurable environmental and financial savings were achieved and will continue into the future. This was recognised by SEAI who provided part-funding as part of the Better Energy Workplaces programme, which supports sustainable energy upgrade projects.

Eden Prairie police officer shoots and wounds motorcyclist
(AP) – The Hennepin County sheriff's office is investigating an officer-involved shooting in Eden Prairie.
A statement from the sheriff's office says an Eden Prairie police officer began pursuing a fleeing motorcyclist about 3 a.m. Saturday.
It says the chase soon ended.
The Star Tribune reports that dispatch audio shows that the officer reported an accidental discharge of a weapon after the chase ended.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Lisa Kiava says they're investigating that information.
The motorcyclist was wounded in his arm.
He was taken to a hospital with a non-life threatening injury.
The statement does not say what led to the chase.
The sheriff's office took over the investigation at the request of the Eden Prairie Police Department.

Did Northwestern Unionizing Just Cause Real NCAA Reform? No, Not At All
April 25, 2014 /6 Comments/in Culture, Education, Law, Trash Talk /by bmaz
Well, the likely answer is no, but the ground is certainly finally shifting underneath the NCAA to such an extent that they are worried. The step of trotting authoritarian boob Mark Emmert out on for a series of television appearances sure didn't work.
But, yesterday, somewhat quietly, the NCAA announced a proposed restructuring of its root governance model:
The board endorsed the restructuring process, which is aimed at allowing the division to be more nimble, streamlined and responsive to needs – particularly the needs of student-athletes – during its meeting Thursday in Indianapolis. The Steering Committee on Governance, made up of university presidents, drafted the restructuring plan.
Under the proposal, the division would still be led by a Board of Directors composed primarily of university presidents. However, new voices would be added: the chair of the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee; the chair of a new group tentatively called the Council; and the most senior Division I member of the Faculty Athletics Representatives Association's executive committee. The council chair would always be an athletics director, giving that constituency an automatic spot on the board.
The Board would focus chiefly on oversight and strategic issues, while leaving much of the day-to-day policy and legislative responsibility to the council.
The council, composed of at least 60 percent athletics directors, would have 38 members: one from each conference plus two voting student-athletes and four commissioners (one from the five highest profile Football Bowl Subdivision conferences, one from the remaining FBS conferences, one from the Football Championship Subdivision conferences and one from the remaining conferences). The council would be the final voice on shared-governance rule-making decisions.
The steering committee suggests creating three bodies that would assist the council in its work and comprise the "working level" of Division I: an academics-focused group, a championships-focused group and a legislative group. Council members would determine implementation details, including what other groups are needed, how the groups will be populated and reporting lines. The steering committee also emphasized the need for a nomination process that is competency-based and diverse.
In order to allow the five highest-resource conferences (the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big 12 Conference, Big Ten Conference, Pac-12 Conference and Southeastern Conference) to address their unique challenges, the model would grant them autonomy to make rules on specific matters affecting the interests of student-athletes.
Sounds all nice and glossy, no? Not so much though upon closer inspection.
First off, it appears timed to be a direct attempt to deflate the unionizing vote at Northwestern today. Emmert and the NCAA just can't help but be oppressive jerks can they?
Secondly, it enshrines into the root NCAA governance that the major football and basketball conferences are all that really matters and the rest of the universities and colleges in the NCAA are second tier and unimportant. As the AP stated in their report:
If approved later this year, schools in the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC could implement some rules on their own and would get more voting power over legislation that would affect every NCAA member school.
Sadly, that looks exactly right under the restructuring plan. Now, there is some value in giving a bit of autonomy to the super conferences, but not to where they can exercise their greed to the detriment of all the rest of the smaller conferences and member institutions.
Notably, while the NCAA proposal has taken care of the NCAA's own institutional power, and cravenly concentrated more of it in the big money conferences, notably absent are attendant concrete proposals that actually aid the student athletes, provide for their well being and insure their existence in the face of injury.
As further evidence of the NCAA's continuing malevolence, at the same meeting in which the restructuring proposal was approved, the NCAA also voted to screw the athletes just a little more by restricting their ability to transfer. The exact provision is to eliminate hardship waivers that permit athletes having a just cause for needing to transfer to another school the ability to be immediately eligible and, instead, just gives them an extra year of eligibility. In short, the NCAA just decided that instead of helping such athletes, they would screw them by stringing them out.
In other related news, the National Labor Relations Board announced also announced Thursday that they would grant the request/appeal lodged by Northwestern University challenging the previous regional decision to permit the players' attempt to unionize. From the NLRB official announcement:
The National Labor Relations Board has granted Northwestern University's Request for Review of the Regional Director's March 26, 2014 decision in 13-RC-121359. The Regional Director found the University's grant-in-aid scholarship football players are employees under the National Labor Relations Act. The election will take place on April 25, 2014 but the ballots will be impounded until the Board issues a decision affirming, modifying or reversing the Regional Director's decision.
The Board intends to issue a subsequent notice establishing a schedule for the filing of briefs on review and inviting amicus briefs, to afford the parties and interested amici the opportunity to address issues raised in this case.
It is not totally clear, but it strikes me that should the Northwestern players vote to not unionize, the NLRB matter may be technically moot and die of its own weight.
However, what is clear is that should the players vote to form a union, their secret vote won't be know and/or certified anytime soon, and will play out over months, if not years.
So, in short, status quo for the corrupt NCAA.

Peterr says:
As I understand the process, the ballots will be impounded — and left uncounted — until the NLRB rules on NU's appeal of the initial ruling. Should they sustain the ruling, only then the ballots would be counted.
Re your initial point . . .
NU football players may not have caused real reform, but they pushed the issues forward in such a way that Mark Emmert and the NCAA and the member school presidents and the ADs and the coaches AND MOST IMPORTANTLY the media that covers this circus* had to sit up, take notice, and make some kind of motion in the direction of reform.
As the money flowing to the NCAA and the schools has grown, the attention paid to the actual athletes has diminished — except for rules designed to protect schools and coaches from gaining an unfair advantage over other schools and coaches. It's not a coincidence at all that it's only been as NU football players have pushed the system into the NLRB process that these kinds of issues have been given any kind of hearing and credence.
We note in passing that the amount of pushback and pearl-clutching by Emmert and the apologists for the status quo against Kain Coulter et al. is a rather large piece of evidence pointing to the significance of the actions of the NU football players to this point. If this was no big deal, then why the huge and vicious reaction to them?
* apologies to F1, aka The Circus
bmaz says:
Actually, I think the NW players WILL be responsible for real reform, or at least accelerating it. In fact I have no doubt. But I don't think this proposal is real reform. That was what I was saying.
As to whether makes moot if players vote not to unionize, I think you are probably right.
Thanks. And these words about the reform . . .
As further evidence of the NCAA's continuing malevolence, at the same meeting in which the restructuring proposal was approved, the NCAA also voted to screw the athletes just a little more by restricting their ability to transfer.
. . . are spot on. Calling it "continuing malevolence" is being kind. When a coach is forced to sit out for a year if they leave a school before their contract is up, then the NCAA's transfer rules for athletes might look a little more equitable. As it stands, though, it's yet another example of "Fine for me, but not for thee" from the 1%ers in the college athletics industry.
One more thing. Should the players vote not to form a union, that will not make the NLRBs ruling moot. The NLRB ruling was that the players had the right to form a union if they wanted to do so. If they vote today not to exercise that right, that doesn't eliminate the ruling that they have the right and does not foreclose the possibility that they might choose to exercise that right at some point in the future.
masaccio says:
When confronted by a bunch of proles demanding fair treatment, step one in the authoritarian playbook is Rearrange The Central Committee.
P J Evans says:
The NCAA's reaction says to me that the students at Northwestern got it right. It's all about the dollars from TV to the big schools (and, I assume, NCAA itself), not about the students.

Two Trees Management, the benevolent shogun of Dumbo, is one of the chief sponsors of the neighborhood's 12th Annual Art Under the Bridge Festival, taking place this weekend. Two Trees has gotten significant press for their artist-as-architecture patronage program designed to maintain a healthy creative presence within the confines of their fiefdom. It used to be that artists were the urban missionaries of the ruling class, braving petty crime and longer subway rides in exchange for cheap rent and the chance to make impoverished and/or minority neighborhoods safe for bourgeois habitation. Two Trees, by virtue of its almost historically unprecedented control of an entire neighborhood - they own roughly 3 million square feet - has been able to short circuit this process by directly installing artists into their developments; thereby insuring their continued hipishness and profitability. One is left wondering if there isn't some sort of hierarchy, explicit or otherwise, as to which sort of artists are worth most Are the cheaper buildings stocked with performance artists, while luxury condos feature in-house sculptures and painters? What if the conceptualist across the hall takes a job as an accountant- can tenants call Two Trees and complain? Do the supers have MFAs in case the art stops working? In any case the Festival itself looks comprehensive enough to have something for everybody, certainly, and details can be found here. Presented by Dumbo Arts Center events start tonight at 7pm with free water taxi rides every thirty minutes from Fulton Ferry Landing.

Written August 15, 2003, updated October 2, 2004.
At my literary agent's behest, I've been working on radio and magazine press to pre-publicize my book, Chinese Medicine: A Practical Guide to Optimal Healing (now called Powerful Body, Peaceful Mind: How to Heal Yourself with Foods, Herbs, and Acupressure). In the process, I've been distilling how-to lists. I've gotten so excited about them, that it's been very tempting to include them in the Pulse. But, I can't give it all away, or there'll be no reason to buy the book, and neither my publisher nor my agent will be very happy with me!
and that's how we come to distillation.
Because Chinese and Chinese medicine are both very complex, and because most of us are so busy and overwhelmed, I think we need to break it down into bite-sized, practical pieces. Though I think they are rather cliché and simplistic, the popular magazine style, "5 Tips to Make Your Life Perfect in 5 Minutes Without Lifting a Finger!" piques the curiosity, and gets in our heads. If we can pick up one useful thing, we've learned and can live better. On the other hand, it does no good to overwhelm people with something they can't digest or use.
This list is based on Chinese medicine advice for the emotions through the centuries. The how-to's and benefits are mostly my ideas. The daily blueprint comes from the book, The Power of Focus. You can find other self-examination and spiritual tools in a wide range of books.

How: Make a weekly list of the things in your life for which you are grateful. Review both new and perpetual reasons for gratitude.
Benefit: You can't be grateful and hateful at the same time, so the more grateful you are, the happier you'll be.
2. Choose Achievable Goals: Avoid overly ambitious goals, because foiled plans lead to frustration, with-drawal, and depression.
How: Review your plans and dreams, and then break them down into subtasks you can definitely finish (this is called a critical path). Set realistic dates for each task. If you run into an impasse, then reassess your path, or your goal.
Benefit: You'll achieve more, and feel more capable and successful.
3. Live Moderately: Work and live moderately. Balance means not overworking and not being lazy.
How: Make a blueprint for each day that allocates specific times for action, learning, exercise, review, relaxation, and family. See the book, The Power of Focus.
Benefit: Stay well and avoid the diseases that come from overwork. Feel fulfilled and avoid guilt, which drains your energy. Sharpen your saw. Improve your effectiveness and understanding. Feel satis-fied you're available to loved ones.
4. Be Regular: Keep a consistent routine in work, meals, exercise, and rest. Regularity is easier on your nervous system, so your body will know what to expect.
How: Use the daily blueprint tool from #3.
Benefit: You experience less stress and have more vitality.
5. Eat and Sleep Sensibly: Quality sleep and a normal appetite are the best signs of health, and everything else depends on them. If you want to get or stay well, take care of these two aspects of your health.
How: See the healthful eating tips in chapter 33 and the sleep tips in chapter 56.
Benefit: Natural, deep sleep renews and refreshes your mind and heals your body. Proper eating and digestion optimize your immune system and prev-ent sickness.
6. Avoid Worry and Overthinking. It taxes your mind and your digestion. It's usually not productive anyway. You may know that but be unable to stop.
How: Some people tend to worry. They need simpler, unprocessed foods, and to avoid simple sugars, alcohol and coffee. Physical digestion affects your mind's ability to digest worries and possibilities. Get some moderate exercise daily to move your qi.
Benefit: Worry-free living! More energy, positivity, and peace of mind.
7. Strive to Be Openhearted, Open-Minded, and Content. When we're closed down or discontent, we become inflexible, intolerant, and insufferable. We experience more stress. Stress takes its toll, and we get sick.
How: List people, institutions, and ideas you resent or fear. Admit your selfishness, dishonesty, and fear, at least to yourself! Find Someone bigger than yourself to trust in. Pray and meditate. Read spiritual books and write about how they relate to your life. Think outside of the box. "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face." Do the thing you are afraid of. Reach out to people no one wants. Be grateful and accept life as it is.
Benefit: Openheartedness is freedom and real love. Open-mindedness is freedom and the quickest way to truth. Contentedness is what everyone truly seeks.
8. Form Social Bonds to Sustain You in Times of Trouble. If you give a baby physical nourishment but not physical affection, it can die! Human beings are meant to live in communities. We need one another. Don't spend all your time absorbed in your problems and plans.
How: Meet people in networking groups, support groups, adult education classes, Toastmasters, Rot-ary clubs, church, etc.
9. Help Other People! Invest yourself in the lives of others.
How: List specific people you can help in your plans and goals, and in your daily blueprint. Think about what these people need, and how you can help them get it. It may seem counterintuitive and perhaps impossible when faced with real worries and problems, but if you help someone else, you'll find it's worth it. Remember, sometimes helping means saying no. Agape (perfect love) gives people what they need regardless of what they want.
Benefit: You'll end up feeling better, and more positive. In that better frame of mind, you'll plan and live your life more effectively.

The state of international relations studies in Canada
From the diversity of its scholars to the most desirable schools, the field has not changed much in recent years, writes Steve Saideman, as he looks at the results of a recent survey.

Four years ago, I took stock of Canada's international relations field, examining the demographics of the professors who study international relations as well as what they think of Canadian IR institutions. My analysis was based on a 2014 survey done by the Teaching, Research and International Policy [TRIP] project. TRIP surveys academics around the world on a whole suite of questions about every four years and surveys American IR scholars more frequently on public policy issues.
TRIP re-ran the worldwide survey in the spring of 2018, releasing the results to its research teams a few months ago (the results are not yet publicly available online). For the Canadian sub-survey, of the approximately 600 scholars contacted by the project, more than 200 answered, producing a response rate of nearly 33 percent — the best response rate of any country. As I am part of the team of academics who assist with the project, I would like to update Canadians on the state of international relations in this country.
To be clear, only so much can change in a short period. Still, as we can see below, when it comes to the field's demographics, there have been some modest changes, even progress, in the last few years. In my previous report for OpenCanada, I compared Canada to the United Kingdom and the United States. In this report, I will compare the new results to the 2014 survey.
First, the latest results show that Canadian IR scholarship is still a male-dominated field. (All the results are based on those who filled out the survey — and my analysis here is based on the assumption the respondents are a reflection of those in the field as a whole.)
The percentages have changed modestly, with female respondents increasing to 34 percent from 29 percent. While this might be an artifact of who responded last time versus this time, movement does seem to be in a more diverse direction.
Similarly, the field is mostly white (81 percent):
In 2014, the respondents were 83 percent white, so it is hard to say that the field is becoming much more diverse along race or ethnicity.
The most striking change is the aging of the professoriate:
It may be that response rates favoured older scholars, but this figure suggests the field is getting older. It perhaps may be the case that the past several years have seen less hiring of junior faculty. There has been much written about the aging professoriate, so we should not be too surprised by this finding. The end of mandatory retirement in Canada in 2007 has made it possible for older professors to stick around longer. Because much of the inequality is baked into the decisions of the past, if the field continues to age, it will be difficult to make much more progress on diversifying.
As for the results of rankings of schools and think tanks, again, since not much time has passed, and reputations are sticky, we should not expect to see significant changes.
Canada's IR scholars were asked which three doctoral programs in Canada they would recommend for an academic career either in political science or international relations:
The big three remain quite dominant, each listed at a far greater rate than the others. These three programs are generally the most "American" in terms of outlooks, methodology and past hiring practices — more quantitative, less focused on "critical" security studies, and more willing to hire Americans. The rest were mentioned by four percent of the respondents or less in 2018.
(To be clear, some of the institutions, such as the Carleton and Ottawa entries, like last time, may refer to multiple programs, as respondents usually did not distinguish between political science, international affairs and other programs. For the rankings, the survey did not prompt respondents about names of programs — they filled in whatever answers they chose. I then combined the answers for those places where there is more than one program. For PhDs, some schools in Canada have multiple programs, so we listed by school. For MA programs, most programs have distinctive names that respondents listed.)
We did ask new questions about what IR scholars are telling students who are thinking of applying for PhD programs. Fifty-four percent would encourage only the "very best students" to pursue a PhD, 13 percent would encourage students not to pursue a PhD, and 29 percent would neither encourage nor discourage. Four percent would choose otherwise. Definitely not a very encouraging environment, which shows that professors are well aware that the pursuit of an academic position in IR these days is quite difficult. When asked if they would recommend students pursue a PhD in the United States rather than in Canada, 39 percent said yes, 25 percent said no, and the rest were uncertain. This is interesting given the somewhat widely held belief that having an American PhD makes one more competitive.
Like last time, the survey also asked Canada's IR scholars which MA programs they would recommend for those seeking a career in policy. Again, the results did not change much:
Location, money and history continue to matter. Carleton's Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA) remains the top ranked program, but the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy is closing the gap. The University of Ottawa's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) program was mentioned a few more times than in 2014. Waterloo's Balsillie School of International Affairs received the same amount of recommendations as last time, while the University of British Columbia got a bit more notice. Université Laval in Quebec City was recommended a few more times, with York University's Glendon School of Public and International Affairs supplanting Dalhousie in Halifax.
Finally, the survey asked Canada's IR scholars to rank the top three think tanks in Canada. They were not prompted by definitions or specifications of think tanks.
The Frasier Institute was mentioned more than twice as much in 2018 as it was in 2014, as was the C.D. Howe Institute and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. The Canadian Global Affairs Institute was mentioned about as frequently as last time (despite changing its name from the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute). The Centre for International Governance Innovation (the publisher of this site) is now ranked second but was mentioned much less frequently. The Canadian International Council was mentioned far less, about as third as often as last time. As a result, there is more consensus about which think tanks are in the top five, but no single think tank stands out that much among the top five. The North-South Institute dropped off, of course, as its funding was killed as the first survey was out in the field.
As I mentioned above, reputations are sticky, so it is not surprising that we have not seen that much change in four years. There have been some significant changes to IR in Canada — the patterns of funding, the expectations about public engagement, and the like — that are worth exploring further.
IR scholars were also asked about their perspectives on parties, world leaders and significant threats, and their answers — as well as more academically-inclined questions about the profession itself, such as expectations about hiring, tenure, publications, languages and more — will likely prompt/require further analysis in future.
What does all of this say for the state of Canadian IR? That the field is rather stable — there have been some modest changes, making the field slightly more diverse, but the fundamentals (which programs excel, for instance) are largely consistent with past perceptions. It would take a significant wave of retirements and new hiring to significantly alter the landscape of Canadian IR scholarship, and there is nothing on the horizon to suggest such sea-change is likely soon.

Two local bands say goodbye. Plus, downtown gets a new venue.
To last seven years, to pack shows at the Knitting Factory, to record with a punk idol and to play massive festival stages? That's not a story you hear every day. But it's one that the members of Small Town Nation, a pop-punk outfit that hatched in the brains of two Deer Park High School kids in the early 2000s, can tell their grandkids one day.
But new bands, new projects and new aspirations are breaking up the beloved group, according to Levi Steverding. He says the band is quitting at a high point. Last year, the members of Small Town Nation recorded an album with MxPx's Mike Herrera, who also sang on one of the band's songs. Herrera's music was an inspiration to all of them as kids.
The band broke the news to fans via Facebook in mid-September, and there was an outpouring of support, Steverding says. "The reason we're doing a final show was because of fan response," he says.
Mon Cheri, a very different, but just as beloved band, will also throw its finale show this weekend. It's a bittersweet end, says drummer Brandon Vasquez, but when guitarist/singer Patrick McHenry and his wife decided to do a "travel-nursing" program, the band knew they couldn't continue.
Outside the new Red Room Lounge last Wednesday, it was hard to tell which doors were the ones leading to the club. The wooden ones with the glass windows? The ones that used to lead into the Game?
So when Craig Larsen, the Red Room's owner, opened the double wooden doors to greet me, I was shocked by what I saw inside. Walls of deep red and burnt orange flank a tall wood-and-glass bar. And at the back of the bar, underneath some move-able tables, is a stage.
And that stage is where Bill Powers — a longtime Spokane booker, most notable for his work at A Club, the Seaside and the Blvd — will work his magic. The Red Room, he says, is the next local spot for live music.
Powers' departure from the A Club seemed to time perfectly with Larsen's idea to rebrand Jimmy'z — now the Red Room — as less of a club and more like a music venue.
"I've been thinking about this for a year and a half," Larsen says.
When the two decided to work together, Larsen dropped major cash on putting a great sound system into the space.
"Nobody has ever legitimately spent the money to bring in quality sound [locally]," he says. "We thought, 'Let's get the best gear we can and do this right.'" The 21-and-over venue is open to a variety of acts — the current schedule features the Supersuckers (see page 57), rapper Abstract Rude and Canadian garage rockers the Pack A.D. Powers says the schedule, at first, will reflect contacts he's built in his years booking shows in Spokane. But "if we can fill this space with jazz fans," Larsen says they're open to that.

LACCIO TABLE LONG
ABOUT THE QUALITY
Side and coffee table in chrome plated tubular steel with black or white laminate top. MADE IN ITALY.
Marcel Breuer has been experimenting with steel tube for years, while developing his cantilever chairs. As part of this process, he designed a set of stools, which were used as tables later or the famous laccio table. As a Bauhaus apprentice in 1925, Marcel Breuer conceptualized the low table as a companion to the Wassily chair, the first tubular steel design based on the tubed frame of a bicycle.
Eero Saarinen was born in Kirkkonummi, Finland in 1910. He studied in Paris and at Yale University, after which he joined his father's practice. Eero initially pursued sculpture as his art of choice. After a year in art school, he decided to become an architect instead. Much of his work shows a relation to sculpture. Saarinen developed a remarkable range which depended on color, form and materials. Saarinen showed a marked dependence on innovative structures and sculptural forms, but not at the cost of pragmatic considerations. He easily moved back and forth between the International Style and Expressionism, utilizing a vocabulary of curves and cantilevered forms. Saarinen died in Ann Arbour, Michigan in 1961.

Paddling numbers - where are they
Inland paddling
buck197
Post by buck197 » Tue Nov 21, 2006 6:52 pm
In this months Paddles magazine, it quoted 1.5 million UK participating paddlers in UK which I think came from the BCU. That is approx 2.5% of the whole population (60million).
This equates to 6250 paddlers in my home town of Plymouth (pop 250K). Our club and the only club in the city has less than 200 members plus the Uni has a club with no more than 50. Where are all these participating paddlers, I know of no one else in my family/friends/work colleagues who is a paddler???
The BCU has 50K members and that means for every BCU member there are 30 paddlers who are not members. I realise the schools/scouts/cadets have some but this can't surely make up 1.5 million.
I presume this figure is to strengthen our case and I wonder whether with 1.5 million people we are "frightening" the landowners/fishing fraternity. I guess there to be less than 20K WW paddlers in the UK in total given the number of BCU members is 50K. Another useless fact is with 1.5 million paddlers and 40,000 miles of rivers equates to 37 paddlers per mile of river. London would have 250k participants out of a pop of 10 million.
Fact or fiction, discuss?

Not everyone is in a club or paddles on rivers. Our club has approx 70 members of which about 5 or 6 of us regularly paddle in fresh water. About half of the members are juniors that so far have only done pool sessions and calm sea paddles.

Does that figure include people who own a sit on top, which they take on the family holiday to Cornwall each year, and have a sedate paddle around a few bays? There are other categories of paddler, such as the people who have a boat and occasionally take it on the canal.
If the number includes these then it may be closer to reality, than we think. Since many of these people are not a member of the BCU, and have no reason to become a member.
However, you can only trust statistics so far, since it is possible to find/come up with a statistic to back up almost anything. So take the number with a pinch of salt.

Sorry Mad Hatter most humble apologies but that still makes only 350 club members for Plymouth that still leaves just less than 6K unaccounted for, an awful lot of sit on tops and once a year paddlers.

These figures are similar to those used by anglers whose definition of a fisherman was based upon a mori survey of the general public which asked folk if there was a fishing rod in their house. Now my mum who has never fished, if asked such a question would have to say yes, as theres one I had as a kid (thirty years ago) that still clutters up the garage, under this survey she counts as an angler. This also accounts for the discrepancy between numbers of "anglers" and number of licences.
I manage a centre that over 5000 people will paddle at each year - is that 5000 paddlers, or do I just count the regular paddlers that are down every week?
As the saying goes "lies, damned lies and statistics"

That's good going, when I was at Plymouth we had 60 or 70 join each year.
The thing is though, out of all those that hand over there money in freshers week, how many are active members?
Out of the numbers we had join, generally it would drop to about 20 active members though the year.

Whats the definition of "participating paddlers"? as Pat comments if you include people who participate in one-off taster sessions at centres, The Scout association, kids on PGL/activity holidays/Centre Parcs etc you will soon boost the figures.

It will include an estimate based on sales that includes all the people with sit on tops, open boats, touring kayaks etc. that maybe use them once or twice a year, or possibly only ever used them once.
It may assume that paddlers only own 1 boat and be based entirely on sales.
It is likely to include data from centres about how many people they have "processed" (dehumanising way of saying given a wonderful introductory session) each year, many of whom probably never paddle again, but some will, and some will already be paddlers that are doing it as part of a multi-activity holiday or teambuilding course or whatever. I was a nightmare on a 6th form trip, first I argued about whether I should have a spraydeck (the fact that I had my own boat and spraydeck made me adamant that I needed one), and then picked the instructor up for calling a stern rudder a bow rudder - after charging around doing bow rudders to make my point! Kids eh?
Then of course there are the regional variations, maybe not many people in Plymouth paddle (but I bet if you look in all the sheds you'll find a motley assortment of rarely used boats of varying vintage) but as Rik says it is big in the north so maybe balances out? I don't know about kayaking, but compared to living in Wiltshire, or even Newcastle, just about everyone I meet in Scotland does hillwalking or mountaineering, perhaps not not regularly... paddling demographics may reveal similar trends.
It would be interesting for the statisticians to tell us how they come up with these figures!

This is where your question is answered. The statistic given by the BCU is for those people who have paddled or tried paddling in any one year. there will be absolutely loads who have given it a go just the once on a quiet lake or calm stretch of river during the summer holidays.
The method used for assessing these numbers is similar to the method used by other sports and pastimes to count their participation rates. This may well explain the enormous difference between supposed participation in angling and the number of rod licences sold.
Post by Jules » Wed Nov 22, 2006 12:21 pm
The basis for the figures banded around by the BCU come from the "Watersports and Leisure Participation Survey". This has been undertaken for the past four(?) years under the sponsorship of the RYA. The 2005 survey can be viewed here.
However, it should be noted that this survey only looks at Adult (16+) participation and so discounts all of those school and youth groups who put their members in a boat at least once during the course of a year. As the figures in the survey do not match up with those publicized by the BCU, I am guessing that the BCU have adjusted their figures to account for this.
Its quite an interesting read if you are interested in this sort of thing.

When I was running taster sessions for various youth groups a few years ago we would run at least 3 sessions a week for about 4 months each session average attendance was about 20. That is aver 900 different people each year and we were not unique by a long chalk.
Rather fewer of course went on to do 1 and 2 star with us or other people and even fewer to join clubs etc.
I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of young people and their youth leaders who actually said they did not enjoy the session and probably would not paddle again. I do not know how many groups centres etc there are doing similar work but there must be hundreds. It is really worth while and a huge privilege to make this kind of activity safely accessible to others.
Yes there is a BUT and it is that I really want to be in a situation where those who enjoy taster sessions have better opportunity to take things further. That's why I joined a club with a varied program and good links with other clubs to make a better opportunity available to fewer people.
We do of course need both approaches!

As Jules correctly states these figure come from the report commissioned by the RYA, the definition they use for a participant is 'someone who done the sport more than once' or possibly 'more than 6 times' in a year, confusion exists.
In my experience (significant - even though I do say so myself) these numbers are pretty much on the money, so are the ones for sub aqua. The major conclusion that can be drawn from this is that there are an awful lot of paddlers out there who have no interest in WhiteWater/BCU/Coaching/Access and who just do it for fun very infrequently.
Good on them too!
PS it also means that the BCU represents less than 3.3% of paddlers - enough said.

Some Plymouth paddlers are members of the TCA over in Saltash me being one of them they must have about 100 plus on their books.
it's better to forget and be happy than to remember and be sad.

The 1.5 million participants quoted do not include those less than 16 years old - as the methods used to gather the survey preclude those under 16's from participating. So in addition to that figure you can add the number of single taster sessions occurring in centres / schools around the UK and abroad.
It probably worth noting that the total base was c. 13000 (of the top of my head), Of this the actual base number of canoeist responding was around the 200 mark. This was a mid figure in terms of the actual respondents (I.e. not so small to cause a siginifant problem as a sample, but the bigger the sample the better).
The omnibus survey was commissioned by a number of organisations - all for varying reasons. The coastguard also uses these figures to contextualise incident data, and prevention activity.

Yes I know about our lovely Saltash brethern but I used Plymouth's pop of 250K which according to my source does not include Saltash. Anyways many thanks folks for providing all that feedback, I stand corrected as to the numbers.

buck197 wrote: In this months Paddles magazine, it quoted 1.5 million UK participating paddlers in UK which I think came from the BCU. That is approx 2.5% of the whole population (60million).
This figure is quoted from a BMIF survey that includes all centre participation rates, and thus is not the true reflection of paddlers. Worst still is that if a person at a centre paddles twice in a day, they are certainly counted as 2 people paddling!! Stats of so easily shaped figures.........
The BCU do not know either about any of this, and that is one of their considerable shortfalls, more so is that they have no idea what type of paddling their members do!!! This approach is partly political, as the powerful sub committees would be at a lose to maintain influence if their own discipline is seen to have such a low up take.. That is why there is no representation of WW paddlers or sea kayakers!!!

U.S. Census May Pose a Partisan Threat
by Elyas Perry
Illustration by Teresanne Russell - Digital Vision Vectors for ThoughtCo
In 2020, the United States is set to conduct a new census to count and collect demographic data on those living within the country. While the census is usually routine every 10 years, this census year has brought with it some controversy. The Trump administration has requested for the new census to have a question about citizenship be added to it.
This is the first time since 1950 that the question of citizenship will be on the United States census.
The administration claims that the addition of a citizenship question to the census is necessary to prevent voter fraud, but it is not clear why that would be necessary. The federal government already has data indicating who is a United States citizen, and that information is used for voter registration and is well within the administration's grasp.
By adding the question, Democrats and many leading political analysts believe that large amounts of the population, mostly minorities, will feel discouraged, and refuse to take part in the census. This will result in an estimated 4 million people who will not be counted by the census. By excluding that many people, experts believe that the Republican party will be able to use the inaccurate census data to create voting districts that unfairly, and illegally, benefit the Republicans. As The Gaurdian's Oliver Laughland reports, "If such an undercount occurs the effects will be profound. It could allow for electorate boundaries throughout America to be redrawn, almost certainly favouring the Republican Party. It could result in billions of dollars in federal funds being withheld from some of the most vulnerable communities in America."
This harm that a citizenship question could pose is one that the Trump administration themselves have identified. The Department of Commerce, who carries out the decennial census, have concluded in their own research that the addition of a citizenship question would be "very costly, harm the quality of the census count, and would use substantially less accurate citizenship status data than available from administration sources."
Recent information acquired from the late Thomas Hofeller, a leading Republican redistricting strategist, reveals more information about the Republican 2020 strategy. As reported by Tara Bahrampour and Robert Barnes of the Washington Post, lawyers challenging the citizenship question stated that Hofeller "played a significant role in orchestrating the addition of the citizenship question to the 2020 Census in order to create a structural electoral advantage for, in his own words, 'Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites.'" In addition, "The files show that Hofeller concluded in a 2015 study that adding a citizenship question to the 2020 Census 'would clearly be a disadvantage to the Democrats' and benefit white Republicans in redistricting. Hofeller then pushed the idea with the Trump administration in 2017, according to the lawyers' letter to Furman."
The 'citizenship question' debate raises a very unsettling reality that highlights the lengths at which current Republican leadership will go to in order to maintain power. They have already stood against national efforts to eliminate gerrymandering in states like Michigan and Utah, and have been taking drastic action to limit the voting power of their opponents, like having then Georgia Attorney General Brian Kemp purge over 1.4 million voters before winning the election that saw him elected governor by less than 50 thousand votes.
As it stands, the Republican Party's only pathway to the presidency in the modern era seems is through voter purges, restrictive voting laws, and gerrymandering the electoral college, which consists of delegates obtained through voting districts. Since the turn of the millennium, neither of the two Republican presidents managed to secure the popular vote in order to establish themselves as president. By creating massive inaccuracies in census data, the Republicans will be able to force their way to the top of dozens of state legislatures and the office of the president, against the will of the people.
To illustrate the impact heavily gerrymandered states have on our democracy, Robert Schlesinger from USA Today reports that as of last December, "Ohioans cast 48 percent of their votes last month for Democratic state legislative candidates but the party only won 25 percent of the chamber's seats. In North Carolina, voters cast 51 percent of their votes for GOP U.S. House candidates but the Tar Heel state's delegation will consist of 10 Republicans and three Democrats. In Michigan, Democratic state House candidates won an aggregate 52 percent of the vote but less than 48 percent of the seats and half of the state Senate votes but only 42 percent of the seats. And in Wisconsin, Republicans won 64 percent of state Assembly seats on the strength of 46 percent of the popular vote."
Currently the citizenship question is headed to the Supreme Court where Republicans hope that recent appointees, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, will push it through. While lawyers have been fighting against the question, it is unclear how information collected from Hofeller will affect the Supreme Court's decision.

A Victoria woman's obituary casts spotlight on medical profession's 'fat shaming'
Ellen Maud Bennett had one final message about the way she was treated after years of feeling unwell and being told she should lose weight
By Holly McKenzie-Sutter and Adina Bresge
A 64-year-old cancer patient is being lauded for using her obituary to make a final plea to stop "fat shaming" by medical professionals, as advocates say her story reflects a pervasive problem.
Ellen Maud Bennett died on May 11 after being diagnosed with inoperable cancer and being given only days to live.
"Over the past few years of feeling unwell she sought out medical intervention and no one offered any support or suggestions beyond weight loss. Ellen's dying wish was that women of size make her death matter by advocating strongly for their health." https://t.co/GGNp4fQRGF pic.twitter.com/P4pCponzqr
— Legacy.com (@LegacyObits) July 26, 2018
A July obituary for Bennett said she had one final message about the way she was treated by the medical profession after years of feeling unwell and being told she should lose weight.
The obituary said her dying wish was that "women of size" should advocate for their health and not simply accept "that fat is the only relevant health issue."
"Over the past few years of feeling unwell she sought out medical intervention and no one offered any support or suggestions beyond weight loss," her obituary read.
"Ellen's dying wish was that women of size make her death matter by advocating strongly for their health and not accepting that fat is the only relevant health issue."
Bennett was born in Burin, N.L., but spent much of her life in Victoria, B.C.
The obituary has been gaining traction on social media, and advocates say her story shines a spotlight on weight-based discrimination in the health-care community.
Aisha Fairclough, co-founder of Toronto-based Body Confidence Canada, recalled in an interview visiting her doctor of 30 years to be treated for pink eye, only to receive a comment about her weight.
Fairclough said larger-sized patients are often forced to ask doctors to look past their weight when assessing symptoms, which is especially difficult to do in a vulnerable situation like seeking medical advice.
"It is certainly not the easiest thing, especially if you are in pain," said Fairclough.
Yoni Freedhoff, co-founder of the Bariatric Medical Institute in Ottawa, said some doctors will ascribe a patient's maladies to their weight without fully investigating other possible diagnoses, but it's not clear if that was the case for Bennett based on her obituary.
Still, Freedhoff said clinical studies have shown that people with obesity receive sub-standard testing and treatment, and medical professionals need to confront their weight biases to ensure that all patients are getting the care they need.
"Obesity is unique in that … some doctors and much of society feel comfortable moralizing about it," the family doctor said.
"Lifestyle has the ability to both treat and prevent a ton of medical problems, but the only one we seem to moralize about is obesity."
Angela Alberga, an exercise science professor at Concordia University, said many patients encounter weight bias at the doctor's office before they even speak to a medical professional.
The health researcher said many medical facilities aren't built to accommodate body diversity, citing examples including chairs with narrow arm rests in the waiting room and medical dressing gowns that don't fully cover all patients' bodies.
Alberga said medical providers need to shift their focus from scolding patients about their weight, to realizing that weight stigma poses its own health concerns.
"If patients are … feeling this blame and shame and stereotyping from their health-care provider, they might not have trust in their health-care provider," she said.
"They feel like they're being disrespected and don't have good communication, they'll feel quite challenged or have difficulty expressing their health-care concerns."
Michael Orsini, a professor at the University of Ottawa studying the policy implications of weight stigma, said people may avoid going to the doctor altogether because of the anxiety over being shamed for their weight.
"There is evidence to suggest that people avoid the healthcare system for all kinds of reasons, one of them being the stigma and shame they encounter, and in some cases that could be really harmful to their health," said Orsini.
Ximena Ramos Salas, managing director of Obesity Canada, said many medical professionals are not sufficiently trained in treating patients with obesity, so their knowledge is largely informed by the weight biases that pervade society as a whole.
Salas said her organization works to give health-care workers "patient-centred" strategies about how to discuss obesity, starting by putting their judgments away and asking whether a person's weight is impacting their health.
Orsini said body-positivity activists are working to dismantle the idea that weight loss is the only solution to health problems.
In 2016, a Manitoba private members' bill was introduced seeking to expand human rights protection to people who are overweight or have dwarfism, citing bias in healthcare treatment as a key reason. The bill was voted down in 2017, but was introduced again this spring and will be given a second reading in the fall.
"I think what's good to know is there are already folks who are doing the kind of work that, I think, this person was hoping had been there for her," Orsini said.

Global Risks 2015
The risk of international conflict is the biggest threat to the stability of the world over the next 10 years, according to the World Economic Forum "Global Risks 2015" report. In addition, rising technology risks and environmental concerns undermine social stability globally, creating deep uncertainty in a world little prepared to confront the challenges.
Prepared for the World Economic Forum and based on the risk perceptions of almost 900 leading decision-makers from business, academia, and the public sector, "Global Risks 2015" provides a snapshot of the likelihood and impact of 28 interconnected risks over a 10-year horizon. The report analyzes these risks and identifies the potentially cascading effects they create. The flagship initiative of the World Economic Forum, the report has been published since inception in cooperation with Marsh & McLennan Companies.
Watch a replay of the Global Risks 2015 press launch.
Read more from John Drzik—President of Global Risk and Specialties at Marsh, and Chairman of Marsh & McLennan Companies' Global Risk Center—about the risks associated with radical emerging technologies on the World Economic Forum website blog, and about the report's key messages on BRINK.
The Risk Landscape
The report's risk landscape aggregates World Economic Forum survey responses from 900 risk experts representing business, government, non-governmental organizations, research institutions, and the academic community. The vertical axis organizes risks according to their potential impact; the horizontal axis by their likelihood. Interstate conflict and water crises, for example, feature among the most likely and impactful risks.
Interconnected Risks
Interconnections among global risks have the potential to amplify consequences in unpredictable ways. This chart shows these interconnections and their strength. The strongest link, as identified by survey respondents, is between unemployment or underemployment and profound social instability.

For someone who regularly uses their truck to move items or make deliveries, a Truck Lift Gate can be essential. The ability to easily raise the items, especially when they're heavy, can make a big difference in how much can be loaded without strain on the person loading the truck. Even those who drive trucks like their personal vehicles may want to look into a lift gate so they can load their truck as easily as possible. Before purchasing a lift gate, there are a few things to look for.
It's important to choose a shop that has high-quality parts at a good price. It may be necessary to look around at a few different shops to find out what's available. If the person doesn't know much about lift gates, they should be able to speak with a knowledgeable employee to get help finding the right one for them. It's important to shop at a place that knows about the parts, so there is no guessing when it comes to a large purchase like this.
It may be helpful to do a bit of research before shopping. This way, the person will know exactly what they want and what features they'll need to look for. This lets them find the right lift gate quickly and not have to worry about whether it's going to work well with their truck or do everything they need it to do.
While some people prefer the do-it-yourself approach, many people are going to want to have a professional install the lift gate for them. This ensures the gate is installed correctly, that it works right away, and that there are no problems with the lift gate when they purchase it.
Anyone who is looking for a new Truck Lift Gate should take the time to find the right one to fit their needs. It's best to look around to find a shop that offers fantastic prices and to find a place that can install it once it's purchased. A company like Truck Parts & Equipment Inc is going to have a variety of options, and their employees can help a person find the perfect lift gate for their needs.
