Goodness, life has been crazy over the last couple years! I still have my wagon but she's on the back burner as my house takes priority.
I'm liking the idea of the vigor 5 cylinder. Keep it all Honda!
What do you hate about your car?
Halfshaft (not axle) Bearing Issue?
How Do i remove roof drip molding?
Funny, I've been thinking about pulling some better ones since mine are crushed where the luggage rack goes. You can still buy the plastic clips from Honda. Expensive though.
Simplest way to replace rear engine mount?
Here you go. Sorry it took so long, I've been pretty busy with my classes the last couple weeks.
Best way to get broken sensor out from block.
I would try a left handed drill bit. Though that sensor is probably stuck in there pretty good so they might not work.
I rubbed in a second coat of BLO and the stock really shines now, especially in the sun!
CB7 Auto Gas Milage Numbers - Post Up!
I have a leaky air boost valve so once I plugged that up mpg went from 22 up to 24.6.
Stock engine with H23 IM and DC header to WS2 catback.


Just about done. Product Description: The Green Tea Seed Serum is enriched with green tea seed and green complex from pure Jeju Island. Green Tea Pure revives dry, stressed skin by supplying abundant moisture.
Comes with a pump spout and a replaceable cover.
Innisfree Green Tea Skincare Line Ingredients and Sequence of usage. I also have the Innisfree Green Tea Pure Mineral Mist, although still haven't find time to use it. But I will once I try the whole line.
Overall, as aforesaid, the Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum more than nice, it's aptly suited for my skin-type, complements my existing skin care routine, and reinforces the same nutritive benefits of Jeju Island green complex. No breakouts. Although, for my hubby's dry skin type, it's not as moisturizing as it should be in a California December weather. He needed to use a whole lot of it, or reinforced it with another moisturizer (Skin Food Gold Caviar Line). As for me, when we're in California, I needed to dispense more than my usual one or two pumps in the Philippines. Anyhow, it's always finding the right line for your skin care type.

MTV caught up with Jamie Campbell Bower at WonderCon where he talked about being a fan of sci-fi and fantasy.
Peter Facinelli, along with True Blood star Joe Manganiello, were hanging in the Bravo Clubhouse with Andy Cohen for the show Watch What Happens Live.

Xavier Samuel chats to Hollywood Treatment about his new upcoming film Drift.
Kellan Lutz was on Good Morning Texas to talk his new movie Java Heat.
The Celebrity Cafe has an interview with Marlane Barnes to talk about Breaking Dawn 2. She played Maggie in the movie.
TheCelebrityCafe: What was it like working on the Twilight Breaking Dawn Part II film?
Marlane Barnes: It's really exciting to work on a film of that size. It was actually one of my first gigs when I moved out to Los Angeles, so I was really trying to take it all in and just experience it all at one time. I think, you know looking back, one of my fonder memories was just the camaraderie that happened in the hotel where we were all staying. I feel like, you know, there was this common area on the ground floor, and if you ever felt lonely, or didn't have something to do, or weren't working that day, you could go down there. There was usually always somebody getting a drink, or reading or something. You could hang out or go to a movie or something like that. So, it was a really interesting experience in that way, and I think it's really unusual. It's probably not something that I will be doing again, at least not for really a long time.
Vulture chatted with Stephenie Meyer about The Host, body image, her James McAvoy fantasy and more.

Staying with MySpace as they gained and lost over 200 million profiles, Andrew knows what works and what doesn't in the super-fast world of digital communications.
With his experience in tow, he reached a turning point when he launched the Social Media Fundamentals Program, which was connected to GCSE English Course. This received international acclaim, improving creativity and literacy in borderline C/D students. It began Andrew's career as a consultant and trainer. This also created the opportunity for being the head digital consultant for the new Edexcel GCSE English subject: GCSE Digital Communication. Going on to train some of the UK's biggest brands in their social media strategy, Andrew has honed key skills that promote innovation, growth and convert social media users into business customers.

Winnipeg Now is a pulse-taking exhibition in which equal weight falls on both words in the show's title: it is a measure of what art-making looks like in this city in 2012. Whether the artists are living here or away, a spirit of risk-taking and invention permeates the work.

Winnipeg has earned a world-wide reputation as an art-producing centre and artists from here regularly exhibit internationally. Winnipeg Now brings their most recent work home: of the 13 artists in the exhibition, 12 are making new work for this exhibition. Whether it's the animated model schooner and the technicolour stratosphere of Sarah Anne Johnson's installation, Guy Maddin's shooting of a film a day for 4 days on set in the gallery, or KC Adams's porcelain forest of corporate-lit trees, Winnipeg Now will surprise and challenge audiences with work that hasn't been seen before. The city's past is its foundation; innovation is its present.
Historically, the art that Winnipeg's long-standing reputation rested on was drawing, painting, sculpture, and photography, with celebrated artists like Ivan Eyre, Don Reichert, Aganetha Dyck, Wanda Koop, Eleanor Bond, David McMillan and William Eakin. What the work in this exhibition indicates is that the younger generation of artists has adopted a more hybridized approach to art-making. The result is a collection of work that resists categorical boundaries and combines a number of art practices. Dominique Rey employs photography, video, collage, and even horticulture in her representation of a vanishing religious order of nuns. Paul Butler, who now lives in Montreal, joins video, drawing, writing, and sculpture in an installation that finds a way to record the personal dimensions of his life in a spare and elegant manner. Rodney LaTourelle, who works out of Berlin, will echo in concept and design the interior spaces of the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the inside/outside nature of our urban inhabitation.
Northrop Frye, the Canadian literary and cultural theorist, famously said that the centre is where you are. Winnipeg artists believe that, but they also recognize that there are many points of self-definition inside that centre. Winnipeg Now embodies that richness of identity; its artists articulate issues of sexual and cultural difference. Kent Monkman, a gay, aboriginal artist uses the diorama format of the natural history museum to investigate his own background, just as Michael Dudeck links the conventions of museum display with ritual performance in his role as a queer artist witchdoctor. In a more intimate way, the collaborative team of Shawna Dempsey and Lori Millan will perform unconventional readings from a story-telling corner in the gallery.
Jennifer Stillwell's large paintings occupy a space somewhere between modernism and cake decorating, while Daniel Barrow's employment of old technologies to project images onto the walls of the gallery makes him absolutely new. Finally, Marcel Dzama's fascination with Marcel Duchamp has turned his artful eye towards chess as a subject for art. Watch for the moves of his eleven foot tall turning Queen. Checkmate, all around!
Winnipeg Now will mark a new chapter in the ongoing story about how to make art outside the centre, a story that Winnipeg artists have been telling for over a century. The exhibition takes advantage of time; it builds on a past, in the present, to argue an artful future. Winnipeg Now is curated by Meeka Walsh, editor of Border Crossings magazine , and art critic and professor Robert Enright.

Contestability and Changes in Tolerance towards Corruption
Submitted by admin on 7 March 2017 - 2:28pm
Samantha Lach
This paper uses some of the main elements of the World Development Report 2017 framework to analyze how the initiative came to be. First, it looks to investigate the origin of the constitutional changes that gave birth to the figure of citizen's bill in the first place, illustrating how a change in rules, a "form", eventually led to an increased space of contestability. It also looks to document how the coalition between civil society organizations, academia, the private sector and citizens came together around this rallying point, and how the bill grew from online platform to a full-on legislative proposal. Afterwards, it provides a brief analysis of the elements of the bill that were ultimately incorporated into the legislation of the national anticorruption system. In parallel, it looks to shed light on questions, such as, did political parties attempt to block a constitutional change with the potential to affect their interests? What role did elite organizations play in the civil society coalition? How much of the coalition's bill made it into the national anticorruption legislation? What are the mechanisms through which these laws purpose to fight corruption? The methodological approach followed in the paper consisted of in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and a detailed review of publicly available information. The rest of the paper is structured as follows. Section two, next, discusses some of the elements of WDR 2017, which are used to frame the analysis. It then sets up the context leading up to the initiative, notably the legislative changes that allowed the figure of citizen's bill to come to the fore. Section three looks at the path of the 3de3 citizen's bill: its evolution from online platform, through massive crowdsourcing to full-blown national anticorruption bill. It also explores some of the most distinctive elements that the bill proposes to fight corruption. Section four provides an analysis of the incentives behind how the coalition around the initiate was built, and the unlikely alliance of actors involved—citizens, business associations, civil society organizations, academia, and legislators themselves. Section five concludes with a discussion of the entry points that led to the development of the bill—and its incorporation into the national legislation on corruption—in terms of shifts in incentives, preferences and contestability.

Cadwalader successfully concludes cases
Litigation Team Secures Summary Judgment in Pfizer - Pharmacia and Settlement for Bear Stearns
January 14, 2008 Cadwalader's Litigation Department recently secured summary judgment for Pfizer and Pharmacia and a settlement for Bear, Stearns & Co. that entailed a positive result for the client.
Pfizer and Pharmacia Case
The firm's litigation team of partners Jonathan Hoff and Jason Halper, special counsel Joshua Weiss, and associates Katherine Ritchie and Erika Engelson successfully obtained summary judgment dismissing a securities class action lawsuit brought against the firm's clients Pharmacia Corp., Pfizer, Inc., and certain former Pharmacia senior officers. In this action, brought in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, plaintiffs alleged that defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing materially false and misleading statements about the gastro-intestinal results of the Celebrex Long Term Arthritis Safety Study ("CLASS"), a clinical trial involving the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, Celebrex.
In opposition to plaintiffs' motion for class certification, Cadwalader successfully argued that the class period ended in February 2001, rather than June 2002 as proposed by plaintiffs. The court agreed that the so-called "truth" concerning the alleged misrepresentations were in the public domain by February 2001 and, accordingly, the class period could not extend beyond that date. Following the court's class certification decision, defendants moved for summary judgment on the ground that the complaint was time-barred under the two-year statute of limitations set forth in the Exchange Act. In that regard, we argued that plaintiffs and the class were placed on "inquiry notice" of their claims no later than February 2001 -- more than two years before the complaint was filed. At this stage of the litigation, extensive document production had occurred, but only a limited number of depositions had been taken.
In connection with the motion for summary judgment, Cadwalader presented an extensive record to demonstrate the existence of "storm warnings" that put plaintiffs on "inquiry notice" of their claims by no later than February 6, 2001. This evidence included newspaper articles, analyst reports, and materials published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Cadwalader also successfully refuted plaintiffs' various arguments that they were not on "inquiry notice," including the arguments that the information that constituted "storm warnings" was too difficult for investors to understand and did not indicate that defendants had acted with scienter, and, further, that the "storm warnings" were negated by supposedly "reassuring" public statements made by defendants.
On October 30, 2007, the District Court granted defendants' motion for summary judgments and dismissed the complaint with prejudice. Plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Bear, Stearns & Co. Case
In the Bear Stearns matter, Cadwalader's litigation team of partner Jonathan Hoff and associates Gregory Zimmer, Albert Soler, Mitchell Hochberg, and David Scupp successfully concluded longstanding multiple jurisdiction litigations on behalf of the company in several actions arising from the 1999 merger of McKesson Corp. and HBOC. These actions included a securities class action pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the "Securities Action"), three consolidated actions in California Superior Court for the County of San Francisco (the "California State Actions") brought by major public pension funds and two private funds, a shareholder derivative action in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the "Derivative Action"), and an action pending in the New York State Supreme Court for the County of New York (the "New York Action"). The litigations were commenced following the disclosure by McKesson, several months after the merger closed, of a massive accounting fraud at HBOC both before and after the merger. Following the disclosure, the market price for McKesson declined by approximately $9 billion.
The Derivative Action complaint, filed by McKesson shareholders, asserted claims against certain of McKesson's and HBOC's officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty; claims against Bear Stearns for professional negligence, breach of contract, and aiding and abetting the McKesson's officers' and directors' alleged breaches of fiduciary duties; and claims against McKesson's and HBOC's independent auditors. We successfully moved to dismiss in the Delaware court all claims asserted against Bear Stearns on the ground that plaintiffs failed to make a demand on McKesson's board of directors to pursue the claims prior to instituting the Derivative Action.
The Securities Action involved, among other things, claims for violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a), and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against McKesson, HBOC, and certain of their officers and directors; claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 14(a) against McKesson's independent auditors, Arthur Andersen, LLP; and claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 14(a) against Bear Stearns. The plaintiffs in the Securities Action alleged that (i) HBOC violated the securities laws by issuing materially misleading financial statements and other statements regarding HBOC's financial performance prior to the merger, (ii) Arthur Andersen issued false audit opinions regarding HBOC's financial statements, (iii) McKesson concealed improper accounting at HBOC after the merger and issued a false proxy statement in connection with the shareholder vote on the merger, and (iv) Bear Stearns issued to McKesson a false fairness opinion stating that the consideration McKesson was paying in the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to McKesson's shareholders.
Cadwalader successfully argued that the Section 10(b) claim against Bear Stearns should be dismissed, leaving only the Section 14(a) claim in the case. In its defense to the Section 14(a) claim, Bear Stearns argued that it was unaware of any misconduct by HBOC or McKesson at the time it issued its opinion, and that its opinion was accurate and truthful based on the information that was provided to it by McKesson and HBOC. Bear Stearns also contended, among other things, that it made no false statements and that plaintiffs could not establish loss causation or damages.
The California State Actions asserted claims against McKesson, HBOC, certain of their officers and directors, Arthur Andersen, and Bear Stearns under California state law based on factual allegations similar to those in the Securities Action. Cadwalader engaged in extensive consolidated discovery in the Securities Action and the California State Actions, including the production and review of millions of pages of documents and participation in over one hundred depositions.
In 2005, McKesson entered into agreements that settled all claims against McKesson, HBOC, and Bear Stearns in the California Actions. Bear Stearns did not make any payments in connection with these settlements and received full releases of all claims against it in the California State Actions. In January 2005, McKesson announced that it had settled the claims in the Securities Action against McKesson and HBOC. The McKesson settlement did not include the claims brought against Bear Stearns. The Securities Action settlement required court approval. Bear Stearns objected to the settlement on the grounds that McKesson breached its engagement contract with Bear Stearns by, among other things, entering into a settlement of the claims against McKesson without also obtaining a release of the claims against Bear Stearns. We persuaded the court to sustain certain of Bear Stearns's objections and require McKesson and plaintiffs to modify their settlement to exclude from the bar order Bear Stearns's contractual claims against McKesson and to permit Bear Stearns to commence litigation to vindicate its contractual rights against McKesson. After the court approved the settlement over Bear Stearns's remaining objections, we filed an appeal of the court's order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on behalf of Bear Stearns, thus precluding the settlement from being finalized.
In December 2005, we filed, on behalf of Bear Stearns, a complaint in the New York Action against McKesson. The complaint asserted, among others, claims for breach of contract and breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing on the grounds that McKesson's failure to obtain a release of claims brought against Bear Stearns as part of the settlement of the Securities Action, as well as other aspects of the settlement, was a breach of the engagement contract between McKesson and Bear Stearns.
Following the court's approval of McKesson's partial settlement in the Securities Action, and while Bear Stearns's appeal of that decision was pending, Cadwalader continued to litigate the Securities Action on behalf of Bear Stearns. The Securities Action was scheduled for trial in September 2007. At the same time, we persuaded the court in the New York Action to conduct expedited proceedings with respect to certain of Bear Stearns's claims.
In August 2007, only weeks before the Securities Action was scheduled for trial, and after summary judgment motions had been presented to the courts in both the Securities Action and the New York Action, Bear Stearns, McKesson and the plaintiffs in the Securities Action reached an agreement to settle both the Securities Action and the New York Action. The settlement is subject to approval by the court in the Securities Action. Under the settlement, Bear Stearns will not make any payments in connection with the settlement and will receive a full and complete release of the claims against it in the Securities Action. In addition, following final approval of the Securities Action settlement, the New York Action will be dismissed and Bear Stearns and McKesson will exchange releases.

Scotland: Halfway to 2020 climate target
Greenhouse gas emissions in Scotland have fallen by 20 per cent since 1990, according to the latest official statistics published today.
The figures show a 3 per cent reduction between 2007 and 2008 with total emissions falling from 57.8 million tonnes CO2 equivalent (Mt CO2e) in 2007 to 56.1 million (Mt CO2e), in 2008.
Taking emissions trading into account, Scotland's emissions have fallen by 21.2 per cent from 1990 – meaning Scotland has reached the halfway point in achieving its 2020 Climate Change Act target of reducing emissions by 42 per cent.
Climate Change Minister Stewart Stevenson said:
"These figures demonstrate the excellent progress we are making towards achieving our world leading climate change targets.
"Our energy sector is playing a leading role in the drive to reduce emissions with nearly a quarter of Scotland's electricity demand met by renewables during 2008. Since 2008 there has been significant investment in the sector with the round of leases for marine projects in the Pentland Firth and sites across Scotland set to deliver offshore wind capacity of 10.6GW. This additional investment means electricity generated from renewable sources will play an even greater role as we strive to reduce emissions even further.
"Everyone from Government, business, industry and individuals will need to play their part to ensure we deliver a low carbon Scotland and meet our ambitious climate targets.
"We recognise the challenge presented by rising transport emissions which is why we are investing record levels building new rail lines, improving the bus network and rolling out new cycle and walking paths across Scotland.
"We will continue our efforts to influence the EU and international community to increase their ambitions through our work with the Climate Group's States and Regions Alliance, and with our partners in the UK Government. And later this year we will set out proposals to set us on the trajectory towards a low carbon Scotland."

Wellington, Nov 14 : Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who is currently in New Zealand as a brand ambassador of Tourism New Zealand, shared his prayers with all those who suffered damage after an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale rocked New Zealand's South Island on Sunday.
"Waking up to the news of the earthquakes overnight here in New Zealand - we're fine," he tweeted.
"Thankfully at first light it seems the shakes have spared us from serious widespread damage. My thoughts n prayers are with the people of NZ," he further tweeted.
A tsunami hit two hours after the earthquake.
The US Geological Survey said the quake hit just after midnight, around 95 km from Christchurch, BBC reported.
Officials who have warned the residents to head inland or for higher ground along the coast, said the first waves may not be the largest, with tsunami activity possible for several hours. A gauge at Kaikoura, 181 km north of Christchurch, measured a wave of two metres, according to Weatherwatch.co.nz.
Smaller waves are said to be arriving in Wellington and other areas, the website said.
Thousands of people have already evacuated their homes, Radio New Zealand reported.
Christchurch is still recovering from the 2011 earthquake that killed 185 people and destroyed the city centre. According to the Herald newspaper, the tremor was felt all the way to Wellington, where sirens sounded and people fled buildings into the streets, some of them crying.
On his second trip to the country, Sidharth loved Christchurch.
"It has nice, easy vibes and it's comparatively younger I feel. It is less populated, which again makes this place very attractive for people like us who come from India. Its secluded, scenic, relaxed nature makes it a complete destination for anybody," he said.

50th Wedding Anniversary: Is It an Accomplishment? Guest Post by Kristin Noreen
By Bella DePaulo, Ph.D
[Bella's intro: It has always bothered me when people heap such high praise and applause on people who stay married for a long time when other significant relationships are not similarly valued. I wrote about one example of that here previously. Recently, in the Community of Single People, Kristin Noreen asked whether a lengthy marriage should qualify as an accomplishment. I thought Kristin's post was written in a careful and a compelling way. I liked it a lot. But it got a lot of push-back. I asked Kristin if she wanted to share her argument here, and respond to the reactions it elicited. Happily, she agreed. Thanks, Kristin!]
Should a Lengthy Marriage Qualify as an Accomplishment?
By Kristin Noreen
Last week George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary. I found this out through a posting on Facebook that showed a photo of them together, with the caption, "Happy 71st anniversary to the longest married presidential couple in history, President George Bush and Barbara Bush." A friend of mine shared the post and added her own caption, "What an accomplishment!"
I stopped to think about it for a minute, then reposted it yet again on the closed forum, Community of Single People, with a note saying "Is accomplishment really the appropriate word choice?" Maybe for this couple, but what rankled me is the notion that any long-married couple predictably receives such praise. By all means, congratulate them on the anniversary, and be happy for them. But is it an accomplishment?
To me, developing a vaccine is an accomplishment. Running a marathon is an accomplishment. Learning to walk again after a brain injury—something I have actually done—is an accomplishment. But is remaining married year after year really an accomplishment? In some cases it's the path of least resistance. In other cases, it's a deeply ingrained force of habit. If, after being married 71 years, you are still in love, that's fantastic luck, but is it an accomplishment? Calling it an accomplishment just seems a little like giving adults blue ribbons for perfect attendance.
Raising good people is an accomplishment, I'll give you that. Some of my friends from childhood have raised good people; some have raised adults who are now in treatment, dealing with the fallout of dysfunction, or in jail. All the parents are praised equally at anniversary time.
It's a general consensus in society that marriage takes hard work. Society rewards those who stay together with approval and the perception of moral heroism. Those who don't stay together are somehow morally lesser beings; they just couldn't cut it. Even when the marriage holds one partner back—that partner's sacrifice is noble. If you can't work out your differences, you failed. As society changes and becomes less conducive to the old family model, the social sanctions haven't adapted with the times.
When I questioned the use of the word "accomplishment" on the Community of Single People, the reactions generally ran in the vein of, "Hey, if they're happy, more power to them." I found it interesting how many people completely missed the point and assumed that I was having a knee-jerk groan reaction to the veneration of marriage. That wasn't my point at all. The post was clear—all I took issue with was the use of the word "accomplishment." Some people did get the point and asserted that maintaining healthy relationships was essential to living a good life, so yes, it was an accomplishment. Is anyone praising people for lasting friendships, or for being close to their siblings, or nieces and nephews? I get the principle that healthy relationships are part of a good life, but I still don't make the leap from there to "accomplishment."
Society loves a good romance. How many public marriage proposals have you seen on TV (and possibly in real life) where as soon as people realize what's happening, they all go "aaaaw" and cheer if the woman says yes, knowing nothing about the events that led up to the proposal? Nobody applauds the woman who walks away from the family she started too young, to pursue her talent as a world-class pianist. But the woman who sacrifices that career to raise her kids, and dazzles the family when she plays the piano for Christmas carols, her martyrdom is glorious.
People stay together for all kinds of reasons. They might have a talent and be so afraid to try, they hide in the convention of family. They might be naturally wired to be the marrying kind. (Not all of us are, by the way.) They might be passionately in love with someone and give thanks every day for the extraordinary luck of crossing paths with their One.
Which brings me to my real point: a long marriage should not be viewed as an accomplishment as much as a stroke of uncommon luck, to be humbly given thanks for by the couple themselves. Parties are okay for the big anniversaries; I'll go to your 50th.
By all means, congratulate couples on their anniversary. Recognize it as a happy event. But let's not call it an accomplishment, unless they happen to be the Curies and their work together changed the world.

Modes of Ice Nucleation
Ice is formed in clouds either by homogeneous freezing of water and solution droplets at temperatures below about -35°C or by heterogeneous ice nucleation processes induced by insoluble aerosol particles. The rates of ice formation in supercooled water is formulated in the so-called classical nucleation theory (see e.g. Pruppacher and Klett, 1997, or Jeffery and Austin, 1997). Different approaches have been developped to relate the homogeneous freezing rates of solution droplets to those of the pure water phase (Sassen and Dodd, 1988; Koop et al., 2000).
Heterogeneous ice nucleation is induced by so-called ice nuclei (IN), a subset of (insoluble) aerosol particles which nucleate ice under certain conditions of supercooling between 0 and -35°C or ice supersaturation at temperatures below 0°C.
According to the definition by the Committee on Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols (Vali, 1985), one can distinguish different heterogeneous ice nucleation modes. The basic distinction is made whether water nucleates ice from the vapour or the (supercooled) liquid phase:
Deposition nucleation is the formation of ice in an ice supersaturated vapour environment
Freezing nucleation is the formation of ice in a supercooled liquid environment.
Further distinction is made between the following freezing nucleation modes:
Immersion freezing is induced by a particle immersed in the body of supercooled water.
Condensation freezing is similar to immersion freezing, but occures when a particle acts as cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) and immediately induces freezing of the water condensate.
Contact freezing is induced by a particle upon contact with the supercooled liquid water phase.

While timeshares can be good for some people, sadly there are bad guys at every step of the way when it comes to timeshare matters. Unfortunately, seniors fall prey to these practices more often than other consumers. It's imperative to keep your wits about you when dealing with timeshare matters.
Unless your heirs are actually on the timeshare deed or whatever form of ownership you have, they are under no obligation to accept the timeshare when you die. It's important to understand that your estate will be required to pay off any debt you still have on the timeshare however. Buying more timeshare or upgrading to some made up ownership level will only increase your debt, but will have zero impact on your heirs being stuck with your timeshare.
When you accept the terms of whatever sales presentation you attend, there will be a stated minimum length of time you are required to stay in order to qualify for whatever you're receiving. This time limit must be in writing. Find it and stick to it. You are under no obligation to stay for anything longer than that. I've heard countless stories of hapless seniors who were kept for 4, 5 or more hours, often without food or drink by sales personnel using one ruse or another. Don't fall for this. Get up and leave at the appropriate time. Remember that you, not the salesperson is in control.
Just not true, or at the very least, not the way they make it sound. Do not ever buy more timeshare for any other reason that you want more vacation time.
If you own a timeshare you may want to sell it. In any event, it's imperative that you maintain control and do not ever engage with any company or person that initiates contact. 99% of timeshares are worth only a tiny fraction of what you originally paid, and there are millions of timeshares currency for sale on the secondary market. No one has a buyer for your timeshare that you haven't even advertised yet. You should not ever pay in advance for selling your timeshare.
There are only a few cases where you are obligated to attend a sales presentation. One is if you accept those conditions in exchange for something that you're receiving such as a discounted stay, theme park tickets, dinner show tickets, etc. Another case is where you previously purchased some sort of trial timeshare and each time you use part of it at a resort, they have another opportunity to sell you on the full program. That's about it. There is no such thing as a mandatory owner update or customer survey.
Sadly, I hear this one more than any other story. Remember that the sales person is just that, a sales person. They have no other reason to be nice to you or appear to have your best interests at heart other than to sell you something. However much they might remind you of your children or grandchildren, however many family photos they may show you or however many personal stories they may tell you, it's all done with only one purpose-to sell you something. These people are very well trained in these tactics because they work so well. Don't fall prey to them. You're not being mean to them by not buying anything they're selling.
Lisa Ann Schreier has been involved in the timeshare community since 1998. After cutting her teeth as a timeshare salesperson and manager at a number of Orlando area resorts, she grew increasingly frustrated with the antiquated marketing and high pressure sales techniques that were (and sadly still are) the norm in the industry.
Seeking to be a catalyst for positive change, she wrote 'Surviving A Timeshare Presentation…Confessions From The Sales Table' and 'Timeshare Vacations For Dummies.' She is a frequent contributor to major media outlets and a sought after speaker at consumer advocacy groups.
In addition to her articles at SeniorNews.com, she is on the Advisory Board of ConsumerAffairs.com where she ensures that content is unbiased, accurate and helpful for consumers as well serving as the lead timeshare advocate at Elliott.org and a featured blogger on RockStarFinance.com.
Her 'tell it like it is' blog (http://www.thetimesharecrusader.blogspot.com) covering timeshare issues is a source of solid information and continues to alert consumers to the myriad of less than reputable companies and practices.

2014 Chains to watch
These corporate pizza chains are on the grow and making waves.
Marco's Pizza
With its focus on a higher-end look than normally found in delco units and a dedication to serving pizza that isn't your typical mega-chain quality, Marco's Pizza has quickly climbed the ranks of our annual Top 100 Companies list. In fact, it has been one of America's fastest-growing pizza chains for several years running now. It took another massive leap in 2013 when it went from 21st on our ranking to 12th.
While the 2014 rankings are currently being compiled, Marco's reported having 387 units and $280 million in sales when the company submitted its survey data for our 2013 compilation.
Per-unit sales at Marco's were $498,000 in 2003. In 2009, they were $660,000. According to the 2013 Top 100 Pizza Companies numbers they are now roughly $723,500.
Aurelio's Pizza
The first Aurelio's Pizza opened in 1959 when founder Joe Aurelio, Jr. was just 26 years old. Ironically, the shop was known for its Italian beef sandwiches, which were (and still are today) a staple in the Chicago area. But it didn't take long for word to spread about the pizza.
Flash forward 50-plus years and Aurelio's is now an expanding Midwestern-based chain. Aurelio's leap-frogged 10 spots on our Top 100 Pizza Companies list when it moved up from 59 to 49 last year. Could the company's founder have imagined that one day Aurelio's would be one of the 50 largest pizza companies in the United States?
With 40 stores doing $44.8 million in sales last year, it's easy to see why the small chain is a force to be reckoned with.
The company's steady growth has seen it expand out of its home territory and open stores in Nevada, Georgia and Florida.
We're interested to see where Aurelio's goes from here!
Beggars Pizza
One of the biggest gains when we published our last Top 100 Pizza Companies list came courtesy of Beggars Pizza. The Blue Island, Illinois-based chain picked up a whopping 16 spots. Its survey data placed it as the 54th largest concept in the nation in terms of gross sales. Last year Beggars reported an astounding revenue of $40.4 million coming out of just 22 stores. That's a killer average of $1.8 million per store!
18 of the chain's 22 stores are sprinkled throughout northern Illinois in towns like Plainfield, Oak Forest and New Lenox. The remaining four stores are located in neighboring northern Indiana.
While there are a handful of Chicago units, Beggars thrives with locations in smaller cities/towns where the company can become ingrained in the local community. That's a timeless recipe for
success that will never go out of style.
Pizza Guys
Rancho Cordova, CA
If ever there were a small company that looks and acts like a large major chain, Pizza Guys is it. Its sleek Web site and menu look like something right out of the Domino's or Papa John's playbook. This is a company that is looking to grow through franchising and will continue climbing our Top 100 Companies chart in the years to come.
It separates itself from others with a detailed understanding and commitment to social media. Pizza Guys has a firm grip on online ordering and we expect its per-unit averages to reflect this moving forward.
In 2013, the company reported a touch over $40 million in sales. With roughly 60 units in operation, the nearly $660,000 each store averages is right in the wheelhouse for potential franchisees/investors who might seek to develop a given area with more stores in the future.
Where will Pizza Guys go from here? Stay tuned as the growth story continues to unfold.

Oregon had the most-encompassing case against the gag rule
Gov. Kate Brown, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and others held a press conference Monday afternoon to praise U.S. District Court Judge Michael McShane's issuance of a nationwide injunction against a family planning regulation from the federal Department of Health and Human Services that would have taken effect May 3. McShane called the regulation a "Gag Rule" that would prohibit medical professionals from discussing abortion options with their patients and referring them to an abortion provider.
Back after being banned
A woman named Rianna S., who asked that her last name not be used for fear of being targeted, organized a group of people to stand in support of Planned Parenthood.
She said last year at the Fourth of July parade, she became so upset at their actions that she turned a piece of cardboard into a sign that read, "Donate to Planned Parenthood today." She said she encouraged people to donate online, but then people began handing her cash.
She raised $1,100 that day, which was all donated to the local facility. This year she wanted to be more organized, so she gathered a group of protesters and had T-shirts and signs made. She also communicated with the Chamber of Commerce and the police department.
"Our intention was not to engage with the Saltshakers, but to have them as a backdrop for our fundraising, and it worked well," Rianna said.
Vern Katz: Medically unethical gag rule threatens public health
Title X ensures that every person has access to basic, preventive reproductive health care, such as birth control and cancer screenings, regardless of their income. Title X funds have never been allowed to be used for abortion. The new gag rule states that any healthcare provider who talks about abortion or refers a patient for an abortion cannot take Title X funds for any patient they see.
Federal judge sides with Oregon in imposing national injunction against Trump administration rule change
A U.S. District Court judge on Monday sided with Oregon to stop a Trump administration rule change on reproductive health care from going into effect.
The policy shift would have required clinics providing reproductive health care services to low-income people across the country to physically separate any abortion services, including discussions about abortions, from the rest of the clinic.
Lisa Gardner, CEO of Planned Parenthood of southwestern Oregon, said during the news conference that the Title X program provides services to 50,000 Oregonians and 4 million people nationwide.
See you in court, President Trump
This month, Planned Parenthood of Southwestern Oregon and Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette joined forces with the Oregon Medical Association to sue the Trump administration to block its gag rule. This dangerous and unethical rule would dismantle Title X, the nation's reproductive health program, which helps people access birth control, breast and cervical cancer screenings, and STI testing and treatment. The rule threatens the health care of people in underserved rural communities, people of color, LGBTQ people, immigrants and other people struggling to make ends meet.
AMA, Planned Parenthood Challenge Trump Family-Planning Rule
In the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Eugene, Oregon, the AMA and Planned Parenthood asserted that the new rule violates a congressional mandate that patients receiving information about their pregnancies through Title X must receive complete, unbiased information about their options.
Oregon To Sue White House Over Limits On Abortion Providers
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum announced they plan to file a lawsuit Tuesday challenging the Trump administration's proposed changes to Title X family planning funding. That federal program provides reproductive health services like contraception to millions of low-income Americans. The lawsuit is backed by 20 states and the District of Columbia.
Trump-Pence Gag Rule Will Have Devastating Impact on Oregon Women
The Trump-Pence administration today released a domestic gag rule, which will dismantle the nation's family planning program and put millions of people's health at risk.
Gardner and Udall: Oregon voters affirm reproductive freedom for all
In a huge victory for reproductive freedom, voters affirmed for the third time in 40 years that every Oregonian must be empowered to decide whether and when to become a parent — no matter how much money they make or how they are insured.
Nothing about youth without youth
We often view student absenteeism as a problem with our education system. But the reasons students don't show up are beyond what happens or doesn't happen in class. According to a 2015 CDC report, if you're a high school student who identifies as LGBTQ, missing school due to safety concerns is 140 percent more likely for you than for your heterosexual peers.
Planned Parenthood voted Best of Eugene!
In a country where health care has been typically seen as more of a commodity than a human right, we're extremely lucky to have organizations like Planned Parenthood. And you all seem to agree by voting it the Best Nonprofit in Eugene. Along with providing services like contraceptives, gynecological check-ups and testing for sexually transmitted infections, Planned Parenthood does a lot of outreach and education about sexual health.
Youth Against 106
Here's what we have to say: Voting "yes" on Measure 106 means saying no to our ability to make our own decisions about our own bodies. M106 takes away a person's ability to make medical decisions based on their income or health care coverage.
Governor Brown Joins Growing Opposition to Trump's Domestic "Gag Rule"
Oregon Governor Kate Brown joined 13 other governors across the country in sending a letter to Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar opposing the Trump-Pence administration's gag rule, which would make it illegal for healthcare providers to refer for abortion and impose new restrictions intended to block patients from Planned Parenthood health centers for birth control.
#MeToo movement needs young brave voices
These are just a few words used to describe people who have come forward to speak their truth about having been sexually harassed or assaulted. We aren't ignoring them anymore. What was once the dull pain of a headache, recognizable but avoidable, is now a migraine, undeniable and painful.

Safer Maternity Care: The National Maternity Safety Strategy—Progress and Next Steps.London: The Stationery Office; 2017

More rigorous investigating needed to improve maternity safety
Alistair Quaile
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has announced new plans to investigate stillbirths and life-changing injuries at birth. Alistair Quaile reports progress made on the Safer Maternity Care action plan
Coroners could be given powers to investigate stillbirths and help improve maternity safety, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said. Currently, coroners only have jurisdiction to investigate deaths of babies who were alive at birth. The announcement comes after a recent report showed that three-quarters of birth-related deaths or brain injuries might have been avoided (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), 2017).
Hunt also revealed that independent investigations are to be offered to families who suffer stillbirth or life-changing injuries to their babies. The Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch will look at 1000 cases each year to find out what went wrong and why, and encourage system improvements that will lead to fewer deaths and injuries in the future.
Commenting on the plans, Hunt said:
'The tragic death or life-changing injury of a baby is something no parent should have to bear, but one thing that can help […] is getting honest answers quickly from an independent investigator. Too many families have been denied this in the past, adding unnecessarily to the pain of their loss.


Pitiful, this city of New York. I expected Constantinople, Baghdad before the Mongols. Rome. Oh. Those were cities. This is a factory. A machine.
I've never been the biggest fan of New York City. Having grown up in a really big city (which had more than its fair share of big city problems) I've been attracted to smaller, out-of-the-way settings. My first four years in the United States were spent at Lafayette College in Easton, PA and the second four at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.
However, as time goes by, I find myself increasingly attracted to the city. I've been ending up there increasingly regularly, either as a stepping stone, or as a destination itself. The last few times I was there, I even found myself wondering if I could see myself living there long term, at least for a few years, in the not-too-distant future. The answer to that is a very strong "maybe", but I wouldn't be too surprised if that were to change to a "yes" in a few years' time.
There is much to recommend New York City, the food, the culture, the tall buildings and bright lights, the Fifth Avenue displays during the holidays, Central Park. But for me personally, it is perhaps the only place in the world where I can see friends from high school, college and graduate school, and make new ones, all in a few days' time. Indeed, if New York were not this unexpected nexus of various parts of my life (and the people involved) I would be far less drawn to it. Philadelphia, another large, though oddly more comfortable, city, would be a far second.
I spent the better part of five days in New York City in between Christmas and New Year's Eve. One of those days was spent in the hustle and bustle, the strangling crowds of Times Square and Rockefeller Center, and that required the next day to be spent in the low-key comfort of a Brooklyn coffee shop, and I was glad to make my escape from New York well before the madness of New Year's Eve descended. In those days, I ate, I drank, I made merry, I talked about startups and distributed systems and Bitcoin and financial programming languages. I watched the new Star Wars, nerded out over it, thought it was too close to A New Hope, and was delighted by Emo Kylo Ren, perhaps a bit too much. All in all, I had a good time. I came back sick in body, but refreshed in mind and soul.
But at the end of all that, it's good to come back to home in snowy, cold, middle-of-nowhere Ithaca, NY. For me, New York City is a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there (just yet).
