5 of the Most Isolated Peoples on Earth
And why you should probably never meet some of them.

In an age defined by global connectivity, it's easy to forget that many people around the world avoid or actively resist that connectivity. These Indigenous groups are referred to as uncontacted: They eschew interaction with neighboring tribes, other countries, and the outside world in general — sometimes vehemently so.
Too often, however, the outside world insists on interfering, and in the process threatening the lands, culture and lives of Indigenous people. Survival International, a nonprofit devoted to championing the lives and rights of tribal peoples around the world, estimates that more than 100 uncontacted tribes exist today (although that number could be much higher). Here are just some of the most isolated people on the planet:
Sentinelese, India
Frequently dubbed "the most isolated people in the world" by the media, the inhabitants of North Sentinel Island in the Bay of Bengal are intensely reclusive and known to respond violently to visitors to the island. Although referred to as Sentinelese or North Sentinel Islanders, we don't know what they call themselves; their language is unknown to outsiders, even to the Andaman tribes on neighboring islands to whom they are related. Estimates typically put the Sentinelese population at 50 to 200 people, and they support their numbers with a hunter-gatherer lifestyle: building canoes for fishing and crabbing, and hunting small game with bows, arrows and spears. Since the 1950s, the Indian government has declared the island off-limits and strictly prohibits visitors, for the safety of all concerned. The Sentinelese, like so many isolated Indigenous people, are vulnerable to many diseases that a visitor might introduce. Visitors in turn are vulnerable to arrows, which the Sentinelese are known to shoot at approaching boats, helicopters and people. The island made headlines around the world in 2018 when an American missionary traveled there illegally. He was killed soon after by members of the tribe.
Yaifo and more, Papua New Guinea
There may yet be more than 40 uncontacted tribes in Papua New Guinea. Sometimes associated with practices like cannibalism and head-hunting, these communities mostly live a hunter-gatherer lifestyle while maintaining extremely limited contact with the outside world. But it doesn't always work out. For example: The Yaifo tribe generally avoided contact with the outsiders until one British explorer generated a lot of buzz by going missing during an expedition to contact them. (He was fine.) For centuries, the Korowai tribe remained not merely uncontacted, but completely unknown to Western anthropologists, who first encountered them in the 1970s. As with many Indigenous groups, the uncontacted of Papua New Guinea face numerous threats including unchecked tourism, military aggression, and the threat of mining and logging interests on their lands.
Moxihatetema, Brazil/Venezuela
The Yanomami Reserve occupies a space bigger than some small countries — nearly 10 million hectares (about 24 million acres). Within this vast domain live the Moxihatetema, an isolated tribe of approximately 100 people that have chosen to separate themselves from outside contact, even from other Yanomami tribes. Aerial photos taken in 2016 suggest the tribe is thriving and may even have expanded. However, the Moxihatetema are exposed to the same grave external threat as their Yanomami relatives: illegal gold-miners, whose operations wreak environmental havoc in the ecosystem of the reserve, and whose contact with Indigenous tribes has sometimes been bloody.
Mashco-Piro, Peru
The Peruvian Amazon is home to several uncontacted tribes, including the so-called Mashco-Piro, for decades considered among the last of these communities. In recent years, however, some of the estimated 600-800 members of this tribe have begun reaching out to outsiders, signaling river travelers, and appearing at government checkpoints, asking for food or other assistance. Increasingly, the Mashco-Piro and other Indigenous tribes in the Amazon are under threat from illegal logging operations on their lands, as well as sometimes fatal clashes with drug runners. The name Mascho-Piro is one you should never utter in the presence of these people, by the way. It's derogatory — mascho means savage in a local dialect. Nomole, with a meaning similar to kin or relative, is the preferred term.
Ayoreo, Paraguay
Branches of this South American people are considered the last uncontacted Indigenous groups in the Americas outside the Amazon basin. The Ayoreo are native to the Gran Chaco, a massive forest which also suffers from some of the fastest deforestation rates in the world. As with the Mashco-Piro and other reclusive tribes, much of their ancestral land has succumbed to the depredations of logging, grazing and construction interests. After years of avoiding outsiders, a group of Ayoreo made outside contact in 2004, apparently fleeing bulldozers that razed their homes. For decades, tribal leaders have been working with human rights organizations to win back ownership of their lands. But progress, unlike the bulldozers, has been slow.

"We'd have a standard on which to base our money", Trump said back in 2016.
President Trump is mulling another controversial nominee to the Federal Reserve's board of governors: former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, said Nick Timiraos and Alex Leary at The Wall Street Journal.
The issue was also percolating through the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, institutions whose largest shareholder is the United States.
"How do you see the Fed's independence, given what appears to be political persuasion trying to guide policy from outside the building?". "Growth does not cause inflation", he said.
In its latest economic projections released in March, the Fed cut its forecast of the US economic growth in 2019 and 2020, expecting a rate of 2.1 percent and 1.9 percent, respectively. Another 12 members of the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets interest rates, head regional banks and are chosen by local boards of directors, not the president.
"I just don't think of it", said Mary Daly, president of the San Francisco Fed, in an appearance last week on PBS NewsHour. "That doesn't mean we can't express our opinions periodically".
If both Cain and Moore are confirmed, that would put two loyal "Trump supporters on the central bank's powerful seven-seat board", who could accede to Trump's demands for economic stimulus with little regard for long-term consequences.

SCREEN-L August 2000, Week 4
Conf: The Archaeology of Multi-Media
Alexander Russo <[log in to unmask]>
The Archaeology of Multi-Media
A Conference at Brown University (Providence RI, U.S.A.)
Thursday-Saturday, November 2-4, 2000
http://www.modcult.brown.edu/amm
For two-and-a-half days, participants in the conference will engage and
interrogate rhetoric about electronic media that describes them as
fundamentally new, irrevocably transformative and virtually unstoppable.
Refusing to rely on descriptions such as "new" and "digital" (for what
medium has not at one time been new, or is not now produced digitally?),
the conference will highlight mixed-media art and scholarship. It will seek
some alternative interpretations and understandings of the singularity of
electronic content, context, form, and audience, as well as another map of
the ways in which media have always been multiple.  Archaeology of
Multi-Media seeks to integrate historical scholarship and emerging modes of
media theory, and to link the study of multimedia with existing work on
'traditional' media, as it opens some emergent spaces of mixture and
multiplicity in present research and action.
In order to do this, the digital collective Mongrel--a UK and Jamaica based
artists group set up to explore issues of race, technology and
new-eugenics--will launch the conference with a performance/lecture
Thursday night. This event will be followed on Friday and Saturday by eight
ninety-minute panels, as well as student mixed-media displays, covering
issues like: film, television and video, and print and or as electronic
media; language and systems; conflict media; identity and difference; and
social movements.
"The Archeology of Multi-Media" brings together an international group of
scholars, artists, activists, and technologists, including:
Geoffrey Batchen, University of New Mexico
James Der Derian, Brown University
Richard Dienst, Rutgers University
Thomas Elsaesser, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands
Wolfgang Ernst, University of Bochum, Germany
Julia Flanders, STG Brown
Ken Hillis, University of North Carolina
Thomas Keenan, Bard College
Thomas Levin, Princeton University
Geert Lovink, Nettime, Netherlands
Lev Manovich, University of California, San Diego
Tara McPherson, University of Southern California
Nick Mirzeoff, SUNY Stony Brook
Lisa Nakamura, Sonoma State
Renata Salecl, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
Cornelia Vismann, European University Viadrina, Frankfurt (Oder)
This conference, supported by the Malcom S. Forbes Center and the Pembroke
Center, and organized by the Department of Modern Culture and Media at
Brown University, is free and open to the public but registration is
required. Please register either on the web or by emailing

Everyone is welcome to come and pray with the materials provided or in their own way.
There will be some paintings for reflection and prayerful response, as well as icon screens to contemplate.
There will also be a meditation on the Lord's Prayer and a simple labyrinth.
The poet Edward Thomas lived in Steep and wrote poems about the beautiful landscape around us. We have a commemorative window in Steep church and there will be some of his poetry and prose to inspire prayer for Petersfield and its surroundings.
We will have other prayer stations too including the always popular Praying with Chocolate!
The day will run from 9am to 9pm with a said service of Morning prayer at 9am, Evening prayer at 5pm and Compline to finish the day at 8.45pm.


Dark and indulgent, this chocolate roulade oozing with its spiced berry filling is perfect for Christmas entertaining. It can be made ahead of time and frozen, simply defrost, dust with icing sugar and serve.
Preheat oven to 180c, 350f, gas mark 4. Line a 34 x 24cm baking tray with greased baking paper.
Break the chocolate into pieces, place in a small bowl, set over a pan of simmering water, stir until melted. Alternatively heat in a microwave for approx 1 minute, taking care not to overheat.
Separate the eggs, placing in large bowls. Add the caster sugar to the yolks, beat with an electric whisk until light and creamy. Wash the beaters and whisk the egg whites until standing in soft peaks.
Fold the chocolate into the egg yolk mixture then fold in the egg white. Pour into the tin, level and cook for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover with a damp tea towel. Leave for several hours or overnight.
To make the compote, place the berries in a saucepan, add the cordial and allow to cook gently for several minutes until softened. Cool.
Whisk the cream and Cointreau until standing in soft peaks.
Turn the roulade onto a sheet of baking paper dusted with icing sugar, peel off the paper. Spread the cream evenly over the surface then top with the compote, roll up like a swiss roll, don't worry if it cracks a little. Place on a serving plate and chill until ready to serve.

Q: Area of a surface The question is;
If the equation of a surface $S$ is $z = f(x, y)$, where $x^2 + y^2 \leq R^2$, and you know that $|f_x| \leq 1$ and $|f_y| \leq 1$, what can you say about $Area(S)$?
Options are:
1) $Area(S) = π^2R$
2) $πR^2 ≤ Area(S) ≤ \sqrt3πR^2$
3) $Area(S) > 3πR^2$
4) $πR ≤ Area(S) ≤ πR^2$
5) $πR ≤ Area(S) ≤ 3πR$
My workings so far:
$Area(S)= \iint_D \sqrt{(\frac{df}{du})^2 + (\frac{df}{dv})^2 +1} dA$
Since $|f_x| \leq 1$ and $|f_y| \leq 1$,
$Area(S)= \iint_D \sqrt{(\frac{df}{du})^2 + (\frac{df}{dv})^2 +1}dA \leq \iint_D \sqrt3 dA$
where the domain is $ D = ${$(x,y): x^2 + y^2 \leq R^2$}.
And now I'm stuck, where do I go from here?
If I had to guess, I would choose (option 2) $πR^2 ≤ Area(S) ≤ \sqrt3πR^2$

A: From your work you obtain
$$\iint_D \sqrt3 dA=\sqrt 3\pi R^2$$

A: You have it right here $$Area(S)= \iint_D \sqrt{(\frac{df}{du})^2 + (\frac{df}{dv})^2 +1}dA \leq \iint_D \sqrt3 dA=    \sqrt 3\pi R^2     $$

'Balls to Perfection': Fashion Brand Marks Mental Health Awareness Week with Protest Show in Manchester
Psychreg, (2019, May 16). 'Balls to Perfection': Fashion Brand Marks Mental Health Awareness Week with Protest Show in Manchester. Psychreg on Mental Health. https://www.psychreg.org/balls-to-perfection/
Underwear brand Box & Scandal marked Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) by staging a protest show at Manchester Fashion Week, using semi-naked, male models representing the 'every day man' to promote body positivity: their core value and the theme of this year's MHAW.
The show, which featured models holding placards with slogans including 'Balls to Perfection', 'Make Love Handles Not War' and 'Body Shaming is Pants', was designed to bring attention to the fact that the portrayal of male bodies in the media is just as harmful as that of women's.
The brand kicked back against the industry norm of using chiselled male models by recruiting a group of 'every day men' to take part in the show. One model took part after recently beating prostate cancer – a charitable cause supported by Box & Scandal – while another felt brave enough to bare his body to the crowds for the first time, after years of self-loathing about his appearance.
Box & Scandal owner, Rob Nicholson says: 'It's incredibly important that we make a stand against the unrealistic portrayal of men in the media, not least because the underwear industry is without doubt one of the worst offenders.
'There has, quite rightly, been a long campaign in women's fashion to show diversity and real un-airbrushed female bodies, but despite male suicide being a huge, and rising, problem and men's mental health in general being put under the spotlight in recent years, the finger is not being pointed at the media and advertising industries in the same way.
'We want to start a conversation about this, and Mental Health Awareness Week was the perfect time to make a stand. Thanks to Manchester Fashion Week, who also have a policy to use models from all ethnicities, able and disabled bodied people and those from across the LBGTQ spectrum, we were able to work together to launch this campaign.'
In a survey of 1,005 boys aged eight to 18, the Advertising Association found that 53% of participants said traditional advertising created pressure to look good. Most of the boys had a low awareness of the image alteration of men's pictures in marketing. Combined with the common belief they had that body-image issues are more likely to affect girls, this meant parents and teachers tended to be slower in recognising problems in boys, potentially affecting the level of support available to them.
Mental Health Awareness Week are also campaigning for change in this area, to improve the way society thinks and feels about our bodies with their #BeBodyKind campaign.

June 28, 2010 / 12:57 AM / 10 years ago
Factbox: Winners and losers at the G20 summit
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Group of 20 ended a summit on Sunday saying its top priority was strengthening the shaky economic recovery and pledging to clean up debt-burdened public finances without stunting growth.
The group of major and emerging economies had different priorities going into the Toronto summit, and some were able to achieve more than others during the two-day meeting.
Following is a list of some of the winners and losers:
CANADA - DRAW
Host country Canada, arguing that its banks survived the world financial crisis without government bailouts, was a vocal lobbyist against a global tax on banks to fund future rescue packages, and a big winner when the G20 simply mentioned the idea of a tax as one option countries could adopt. Canada also saw the G20 endorse its push for specific deficit and debt reduction targets.
But the summit played poorly at home, where images of protesters torching police cars often overshadowed the political and financial discussions in the meeting itself.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper also came under fire for a $1 billion security bill and for the costly "fake lake" inside the media center. Billed as a way for visiting reporters to experience the lakeside landscape where the G8 summit took place, it turned out to be a small, square pool of water.
UNITED STATES - LOSE
U.S. President Barack Obama arrived at the summit on what White House officials hoped would be a triumphant note after House and Senate negotiators reached a final compromise on a bill that would bring about the most sweeping overhaul of financial rules since the 1930s.
But he left having achieved little on the fiscal issues that dominated the summit.
The United States was forced to give ground on European demands for a new emphasis on budget austerity, which it had warned threatened to torpedo the fragile economic recovery.
Obama also told G20 leaders that existing proposals in the Doha world trade talks did not meet U.S. needs and would have to change significantly.
CHINA - WIN
Beijing prevailed in its demand that draft language in the G20 communique praising China for enhancing exchange rate flexibility be removed from the final version.
Although it may seem odd to reject a compliment, China did not want the precedent of having its currency singled out, even in a positive light, in a formal statement by the G20.
China's victory on the issue was not total. If cautious officials in Beijing had not had the G20 to worry about, the Chinese currency might still be locked to the dollar. The threat of intense, coordinated criticism was crucial in pushing the government to depeg the yuan last week.
GERMANY - WIN
Germany insisted it faced no criticism for its budget-cutting plans, although it remains a G20 target as a trade-surplus country that needs to do more to boost domestic demand. In an interview with Reuters, Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaueble singled out public sector debt as a barrier to boosting domestic demand, and said the deficit cuts would help steer Germany to a path of sustained growth.
More broadly, German and other European officials looked like winners because they managed to tilt the balance in the final communique slightly toward the fiscal tightening side, and squeezed in that the Canadian consolidation targets accepted by the G20 were a minimum for advanced economies.
While Europe did not get global support for a bank levy, it did get G20 backing for some form of contribution from the financial sector to pay the cost of government interventions in that sector according to a set of common principles.
RUSSIA - DRAW
Russia pushed for reform of international financial institutions but no major advances were expected on that at the meetings. On most issues it successfully defended its position, but officials said privately that the nature of the big issues — government deficits and slow growth rates in developed economies — meant that Russia's position was peripheral.
BRITAIN - WIN
Prime Minister David Cameron can claim a win at his first G20 summit. He got some of what he wanted including implicit recognition in the G20 communique for his government's tough budget measures announced earlier this week.
Cameron also appeared to forge an easy relationship with Obama — and even hitched a ride on the presidential helicopter — and avoided a public rift over British oil giant BP and the costs of its Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Cameron, 43, is cutting his teeth as a world leader and his Toronto outing appeared to mark a good start, even if he had to endure watching England's elimination from the soccer World Cup by Germany, in the company of Chancellor Angela Merkel.
BRAZIL - LOSE
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva skipped the Toronto meeting, opting to stay home to deal with the aftermath of severe flooding.
The decision reduced Brazil's visibility at the meeting, a setback for a rising power that hopes to win a greater role in global affairs.
It also spurred the leaders of Russia, India and China to called off a meeting of so-called BRIC countries on the sidelines of the G20 summit, blunting at least temporarily their effort to present a united front in demands for more say in world financial institutions.
JAPAN - DRAW
Japan, which was against a global tax on banks heading into the meeting, took heart in the G20 saying the idea of a tax was optional. Japan has argued that its national deposit insurance scheme is an alternative to a bank tax.
But Japan will not be able to meet a target for developed countries to halve deficits by 2013 and stabilize or reduce government debt-to-GDP ratios by 2016. The communique welcomed Japan's recent fiscal reform and growth plans, but the special mention of the country's "circumstances" highlighted the dire state of its finances compared to its advanced peers.
Delegates played up efforts by Prime Minister Naoto Kan, Japan's fifth leader in three years, to build personal relations with fellow heads of state during his summit debut but this too put focus on the toll Japan's revolving-door leaders have had on diplomacy.

Helen Lawrie Liddell, Baroness Liddell of Coatdyke PC ( Reilly; born 6 December 1950) is a British politician and life peer who served as Secretary of State for Scotland from 2001 to 2003 and British High Commissioner to Australia from 2005 to 2009. A member of the Labour Party, she was Member of Parliament (MP) for Airdrie and Shotts, previously Monklands East, from 1994 to 2005.

Early life
Liddell was born to Hugh Reilly, a Catholic, and Bridget Lawrie Reilly, a Protestant. She was educated at St. Patrick's Catholic High School in Coatbridge, attending at the same time as John Reid, and graduated from the University of Strathclyde with a BA in Economics.

Early career
Liddell worked as a BBC Scotland economics journalist from 1976 to 1977. At the age of 26, she served as the first female General Secretary of the Scottish Labour Party from 1977 to 1978. She was subsequently public affairs director of the Daily Record and Sunday Mail, working for media proprietor Robert Maxwell.

Business Interests
Appointed Director of Annington Limited, 1st April 2017. The British Ministry of Defence, as of November 2022, are trying to regain ownership of the housing stock that was sold off to Annington in 1996. As Chair of Annington, Baroness Liddell defended Annington via a letter to the British Defence Secretary saying she was "shocked" by the Government's approach.

Parliamentary career
She first contested the Parliamentary constituency of East Fife at the October 1974 general election.

House of Commons
Liddell was first elected to Parliament in 1994, at the closely contested Monklands East by-election following John Smith's death. She was appointed a Privy Councillor on 27 October 1998.

She was Secretary of State for Scotland from 2001 to 2003, a position whose powers had been transferred to the Scottish Executive after devolution in 1999. In addition, she angered the monks of Buckfast Abbey when she called on them to stop selling Buckfast in Scotland. She was dubbed Minister for Monarch of the Glen after several visits to the set of the hit BBC series.

The disclosure that she was able to work French lessons into her ministerial diary, raised questions about the relevance of Scottish Secretary's job post-devolution. The role was abolished as a full-time position in 2003, when the Scotland Office was rolled into the Department for Constitutional Affairs.

She took up appointment as British High Commissioner to Australia in the summer of 2005, and was succeeded in the role by Baroness Amos in October 2009.

House of Lords
On 28 May 2010, it was announced in the Dissolution Honours List that she would be created a life peer. On 7 July, she took the title Baroness Liddell of Coatdyke, of Airdrie in the County of Lanarkshire, six days later becoming a House of Lords member. She is a member of Labour Friends of Israel. In 2010–11 Liddell was a member of the independent Philips inquiry into the 1994 Scotland RAF Chinook crash on the Mull of Kintyre, established by the Secretary of State for Defence.

Personal life
She married Alistair Liddell in 1972; they have one son and one daughter.<ref>[http://www.debretts.com/people-of-today/profile/6767/Helen-Lawrie-Liddell-LIDDELL-OF-COATDYKE Debrett's People of Today]</ref>

Any business when it first starts needs to work out how much business start up capital is needed. If you're starting a small business in Sydney, speak with City Tax Accountants, they are the best start up business accountants Sydney has to offer. In the beginning, work out whether or not you have enough savings to put into the new business, or if you need to obtain finance.
Depending on the type of business you intend to have there are several options that are available for you. Choose the one that best fits your company.
Sole Proprietor- The most common of all structures. It does not require you to file anything other than the usual permits and licenses required to do business. Check with your local offices to see what is required in your state and county. If you use any name other than your own you will have to have a license for a DBA (doing business as). You are also responsible for making sure no other businesses are using the name.
Easy to establish with low legal costs. The permits and licenses are easy to obtain and relatively inexpensive.
You are the decision maker. You have total control over your business.
Tax rates are low and reporting is simple.
You are entirely personally responsible for all debts and liabilities of your company.
Hard to raise capital. Banks and lenders hesitate to lend on a sole proprietorship because they lack confidence in your ability to repay loans. There are no stocks for sale, so investors may be hard to find.
Limited Liability Company- This structure is a combination of a limited liability corporation and a partnership. The company is not taxed separately but is passed through the owner or owners personal taxes just as a partnership does. There several steps you need to take for this structure. The business name must be unique and contain the letters LLC. You must file your Articles of Organization which is a simple form that shows the name, address and members of the LLC. You may need to check with your local offices to see where this needs to be filed. There are a few options available and some states require additional forms, again consult your local offices or an attorney to inform you of licenses, permits and other forms that may need to be filed.
Limited Liability means that owner/owners or members are not personally responsible for debts or liabilities that the company may incur.
There is less paper work and the start-up costs are usually much less than a corporation.
Division of profits is up to the members. You can decide the percentages based on investment by all members and allocate the profits in that way. There are no regulations that must be adhered to.
There is a limited life for LLC if one member decides to leave the business the business is dissolved. You can incorporate a clause in your business articles to cover this.
If you are a member in an LLC you are considered self-employed, you will are held responsible for your Social Security payments and for Medicare.
Corporation- Consider a legal entity in itself, it is usually owned by shareholders, but the company itself is responsible for all debts and liabilities. There is more complicated rules and regulations governing the corporation. Most corporations must be registered with the Department of State and must have both Federal and State licensing requirements met. Federal and State identification numbers are issued and all reporting and filing must use them. When forming a corporation it is highly recommended that you have a corporate attorney. They can make recommendations and help you file all of the paperwork necessary for your company.
Limited liability. The company itself is held liable for any debts or liabilities incurred. Shareholders are usually only responsible for their investments.
Generating Capital is easier as stocks, stock options can be sold. Also lenders are more likely to loan money on a corporation as they know that there is additional recourse to recovering the loan amounts.
Taxes are easier as owners are only required to pay taxes on income they received such as salaries, bonuses and dividends. The corporation taxes are based on a lower tax rate than personal taxes.
High quality employees are usually easier to get as they are more attracted to the benefits that a large corporation can offer.
Expensive to start up and to operate.
There is a potential for double taxing as the corporation pays taxes on the profits and then when dividends are paid to shareholders.
The record keeping and reports that will need to be filed for federal, state and local agencies can be time consuming and difficult.
Partnership- Formed by two or more owners. Each owner is responsible for the company and the decision making. There is usually a partnership agreement that will help define all aspects of the partnership including the percentages each will have, the area of expertise or even how the company resolves issues. For a partnership it is easier if you have an attorney that can help you set up the partnership agreement. The normal registering of the company with the various Federal, state and local government offices apply and the licenses and permits needed can be checked with your local offices. Check with your attorney for the best options available for the type of partnership you want. There are three different partnerships you can do, the first is General Partnership. All partners share equally unless otherwise stated in a partnership agreement. The second is Limited Partnerships, this is designed more for a short term investment and limits the partners percentage for profits and decision making and therefore limits his amount of liability. The third is Joint Venture. As the name suggest it is usually formed for a short period of time for a single project. If you continue on you must file all of the forms, licenses and permits to continue doing business.
It is easier and less expensive.
The ability to combine resources will help with the start-up of the company.
You have more resources in development of a partnership. The combined knowledge and expertise in different areas will enable you to combine your talents.
Added benefit for potential employees is the opportunity to become a partner.
Liability for any and all debts incurred by the company are shared by the partners. Their personal property and assets can be used to satisfy any debts.
In any partnership there can be disagreements regarding the operation of the company and decisions that may or have been made.
Unless you have a partnership agreement in place the distribution of profits is divided equally among all. This can cause arguments if one partner seems to devote more time and energy into the business.

Working inside a small company like Highland Multimedia provides lots of insight one might otherwise miss in a larger organization.

In February 2015 HM offered to help this initiative by building a professional website to further enhance their fundraising capabilities to bring a playground to Antigonish that would be accessible for kids and adults that would otherwise not be able to join in at a typical playground.

A lecture on "The Need for Storage and Processing to Reduce Postharvest Losses"
Center of Innovative and Applied Bioprocessing (CIAB), an autonomous institute of the Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India, is the only institute in the country which works mainly on Secondary Agriculture and development of value added products from different types of bio resources. Its mandate fits well with the of Govt. of India`s programme on "Doubling the Farmer`s Income" with the same inputs. It also become more relevant in present context when Indian Agriculture is going on complete transformation with limited land resources and increasing input costs. We all are aware that the agricultural wastes are being burnt by many farmers. If this Agri-waste is used to isolate bioactive compounds with high market value, it can directly benefit the farming community by increasing their farm income. It will not only provide new avenues to establish industrial units on utilization of Agri-waste but will also provide new employment opportunities to the rural masses.
With its five years of establishment, besides moving to its new campus in Sector 81, Knowledge City Mohali, CIAB has made substantial contributions in developing various processes to derive products from the agricultural waste. The Scientists of the institute have been able to transfer two technologies, i) D-psicose-a nearly zero calorie sugar production from the biomass and ii) a liquid whey beverage product named CIAB-NAVITA to the industries. Also, CIAB has signed non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for three technologies with the industries who have expressed their interests. In addition, institute has developed several other technologies which are at different stages of scale up and commercialization.
The institute is working very hard on meeting its goals through the well designed four R & D programmes; (i) Value addition to primary processing residue/wastes for edible products, (ii) Valorization of crop wastes for specialty products and chemicals, (iii) Nutritionals, nutraceuticals, and upgradation of value or of use of primary processing bioproducts and (iv) Biosynthetic technology/synthetic biology for low volume-high value products and industrial enzymes.
I am sure with its very clear vision and R& D programmes, the institutes will achieve its goals very effectively and it will become a unique institute in the country on Secondary Agriculture and bioprocessing.

© Eurocircuits PCB | May 11, 2021
Continued investments at Eurocircuits operations
Every year the company invests in its operations, something that has been seen as a key element to its success. And for 2021, the company will invest EUR 7 million in its two factories in Hungary and Germany.
With its new investment Eurocircuits will prioritise the ongoing environmental and sustainability project according to ISO 26000. The company says in a press release that it is investing over EUR 2 million in renewable energy production and in infrastructure to reduce water and energy consumption, zero waste production, the reduction of air pollution and climate-neutral transport. "We believe that these measures will give us a competitive advantage over our non-European competitors. Above all, we believe that sustainability will secure the future of our Europe," the company writes. The company is celebrating its 30 year anniversary in 2021, and after three decades of being in business Eurocircuits now employs 450 and manufactures PCBs and offer assembly services from its two modern factories in Hungary and Germany. As a 30 year old company, Eurocircuits processes more than 110'000 orders per year. However, despite the success there is also a sense of melancholy. 30 years ago the European PCB market accounted for more than 40% of the global PCB production market – now it only accounts for 2.5%. China alone produces more than 50% of all PCBs globally. "This dependence, like that which exists for other electronic components, is dangerous and could cost Europe dearly, as we have seen in the past couple of years," says managing partner Dirk Stans in the press release.

The Dreaded Backlog: Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
August 2, 2016 by T.J. Fisk
Welcome to THE DREADED BACKLOG! It's incredibly easy to buy video games, but it takes a lot more time to play through them. All of us have a backlog of good gaming intentions that need to be fulfilled. Together we must overcome the overwhelming threat of THE DREADED BACKLOG!
I enjoy the Lego games, so don't doubt my positivity when I say this is the best Lego game I have ever played and this far in that is a miracle.
I was always cynical about the newer wave of Lego games. I wasn't sure about the usage of voice acting rather than pure silent parody. I didn't think new features, such as open worlds, would revolutionise the series. For all intents and purposes this game doesn't revolutionise the older Lego games. It does what all good video game sequels do: take the base gameplay, the refine and add to it and then improve the stories and characters, all whilst updating the visuals for all of the above.
The story isn't a stroke of genius, but rather an intelligent combination of various Superman/Batman stories from the comic book mythos. I was most reminded of the Batman and Superman story Public Enemies, including a moment when Lex Luthor is fooled by the duo swapping costumes. This was amusing in the comics given Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent history of being drawn very similar, however this is even funnier when considering how further identical they are as Lego minifigs.
Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (Xbox 360) has Lex Luthor and The Joker team up to defeat Batman and Superman. Joker has brought his Joker-mech to play and Lex has a ray-gun that disassembles anything made of black Lego bricks, providing an Achilles' heel for Batman to match Lex's supply of Kryptonite he has for Superman. When all of this is told through the medium of Lego comedy versions of the two icons, the humour comes thick and fast. Batman has to borrow the repulsively colourful vehicles usually belonging to Robin. Meanwhile Robin (Tim Drake I believe) himself is busy idolising Superman much to Batman's chagrin. Batman and Superman's clash is not the moral debates in the comics, but rather grumpy egotistical Bruce rubbing up against the godlike bright-and-happy boy scout Clark. Ironically however, it is Batman who overcomes his pride in the end to call for the help of the Justice League.
My one disappointment in the game lies with the Justice League. They turn up for the last three levels and there is no appearance from wider villains from the DC mythos, just Lex plus the Arkham Asylum usuals. However some of these characters can be collected in the open world of Gotham through side mission and brick points unlocks. These limitations are clearly in place as to not blow their DC wad before the third Lego Batman game is released. Regardless, it is still a great pleasure to see Lego versions of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Cyborg and Martian Manhunter standing next to each other. Even without the voice acting talents of the DCAU usuals (especially without Kevin Conroy's Batman and Mark Hamill's Joker) the characters all bounce off each other with verbal wit as much as the colourful visuals pop.
The aforementioned colourful visuals also have a much needed upgrade from the first era of modern Lego games. The characters move and look better. The parts of the world not made of Lego bricks are also rendered better without losing any of the simple aesthetic that lets the two styles blend. Something that always disappointed me about Lego games is that most of the worlds aren't made of Lego, let alone entirely made of Lego. However I had no issue with that in this game.
My other biggest problem with Lego video games is the monotony. You've played most of the gameplay features usually by the end of the first level, which is a problem in a game with 15+ levels. However Lego Batman 2 introduces new features such as seeing through walls, invisible Batsuits, driving and flying combat (better than the awful sections in previous games), pole vaulting, playing with coloured chemicals and water, freezing water to climb it and so on. Whilst the game initially provides these abilities as Bat-gadgets they end up later presenting themselves as abilities of superpowered individuals. Some builds fall apart when being built so only The Flash is fast enough to put them together. Superman can shoot through gold walls with his laser sight and Green Lantern can use telepathy on green bricks for any purpose. In addition to all this the basic hitting punch to attack mechanism has been refined. Updated animations make this tired button bashing fresher. All in the all, whilst the newer features establish themselves as early as the old features do, the number of gameplay options now on hand allows proceedings to be mixed and matched enough to provide a consistently fresh experience. The main campaign is also paced perfectly, it ended before I got bored in perfect with the story pacing, whilst leaving me wanting more. Which is good considering the sheer volume of side activities available: collecting character minifigs from across the DC mythos, finding Arkham inmates across Gotham and locking them up and replaying the campaign in freeplay mode to 100% it.
I was tired of Lego video games before I played this. I own (and haven't played) Lego Star Wars III: Clone Wars, Lego Marvel Superheroes and Lego Dimensions and now I cannot wait to play them. Hell, I've even been looking up Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham on Amazon with hopes to play it soon.
Side Note: I would have liked Batman in the iconic grey suit, not the black and yellow Tim Burton bullshit Batsuit. Ergh.

First supercarrier goes for cheap
By Sam Fellman on	 October 22, 2013 Carriers, Historical
The first Navy supercarrier, the ex-Forrestal, is headed for the scrap heap. Here it is in 1987, six years before it was decommissioned. (Navy photo)
The Navy unloaded its first supercarrier Tuesday for 1 cent.
Texas shipbreakers earned a penny from the Navy to dismantle and recycle the remaining hulk that was formerly the aircraft carrier Forrestal, a ship that sailed to wars and crises over 38 years and which suffered one of the Navy's worst tragedies: a 1967 fire that killed 134 sailors.
Despite its service over 21 deployments, the ship's legacy is forever tied to the flight deck conflagration that raged for hours after a rocket mounted under wing accidentally fired, slamming into another jet and unleashing a fuel blaze that cooked off bombs. The flames and explosions killed many of the ship's best firefighters, who had rushed into action. One aviator, then-Lt. Cmdr. John McCain, escaped by sliding down the nose of his A-4 Skyhawk. Because of reflashes, it took 16 hours to declare the fire out.
Named for James Forrestal, former Navy secretary and the first secretary of defense, Forrestal has been part of the Navy's lexicon ever since. The incident showed the danger of fighting a fuel fire with seawater, as some crew members did, leading the Navy to develop wash-down sprayers for flattops. And it showcased the importance of using foam to extinguish fuel blazes.
Footage from the blaze is still shown to recruits to convey the dangers of shipboard fires.
Forrestal was decommissioned in 1993. It called Newport, R.I., home until 2010, when it was moved to its current Philadelphia location. The ship scrapers, All Star Metals, will tow the 1,067-foot long Forrestal to their recycling facility in Brownsville, Texas, Naval Sea Systems said in a Tuesday news release.
Two other conventionally-powered carriers, ex-Saratoga and ex-Constellation, are also up for scrapping.
Do you have stories from aboard the Forrestal? Leave them in our comments section below, or send them to us at navylet@navytimes.com.
Josephine Forrestal, the widow of the former Navy secretary who was the ship's namesake, christened the supercarrier in a Dec. 11, 1954, ceremony in Newport News, Va. (AP file photo)
(Correction: A previous version of this article misstated the transaction between the Navy and All Star Metals. The Navy paid All Star Metals 1 cent to scrap the ex-Forrestal.)

Flashback: It's been 70 years since V-J Day and the kissing sailor
gary finley on October 22, 2013 12:16 pm
I was at D&S pier 31 when she came in with a hole in her flight deck you could drive a bus through, That was 1967 or 68, that part I don"t remember. The whole I do remember. Bomb went off on the deck I think, bunch of guys died. I was stationed on the USS Sierra AD 18 at the time.
Mark Piggott on October 22, 2013 1:07 pm
It is shameful that the U.S. Navy sold the Forrestal for one cent to the scrap heap when the Forrestal Association tried to buy it fpr a museum and could only raise $2 million of the $4 million they wanted a few years ago. This is a piece of history being scrapped for cash.
Paul Daniel on October 22, 2013 5:42 pm
I was assigned to VF-11 ( world famous Red Rippers) and came aboard in July 1975 at Bari, Italy. Spent the next four years aboard the old gal, have a lot if good memories and tons of photos I have shared only with my family.
wayne perzee on October 22, 2013 6:43 pm
I agree with Mark Piggott. With everything the government just went through the last couple of weeks due to the shut down, they are going to sell the ship for a penny. The Navy would be better off to break the ship down and sell piece by piece, OR BETTER YET SELL HER TO THE VETERANS THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF HER. But then again the second part makes to much sense, lets build the deficit and give away things that could bring in money.
Robert Geigle on October 22, 2013 7:28 pm
Spent 9 months in the Med with her in 72/73. We were late relieving the Independence due to an 03 level fire that destroyed the CIC. 6 weeks later we left Norfolk. I was with VMFA-513 at the time, first West Coast Marine squadron to go on a Med Cruise. Good time that I remember well.
Kevin Haight on October 22, 2013 7:30 pm
I totally agree with Mark and Wayne. What is wrong with this government? It really upsets me as a taxpayer.
Connor Wilson on October 22, 2013 7:42 pm
It's very likely the Forrestal is in horrible shape right now. For the government to hang onto it any longer is likely costing more money than a potential sale could bring in.
Couple with that the fact it would likely cost millions in time and man-hours to restore it to shape enough as a museum, it makes sense why they would offload it for one cent. It's costing them more to keep it around.
Tony Dietz on October 22, 2013 8:33 pm
I'm sure every ship has a place in the heart of those that sailed in them , but it is strange that we can't seem to hold onto those that merit special attention. I cringe everytime I think of the scrapping of Enterprise in 1959-60. Now we're letting the "FID" go to the breakers for a penny. From a historical perspective she is the progenitor of our modern carrier fleet. I hear there is talk of preserving the Kennedy. The "FID" is more historically significant then the Kennedy. If as a nation we can only afford to save one "Supercarrier" then logic would favor the "FID". Of course we are dealing with that dysfunctional abomination we call the U.S. Government. why on earth would they ever do anything that made sense? I think as a percentage of their GDP the Brits do a better job at preserving the heritage of their Navy than we do. Hard to fathom.
YN1(AW) David Dibble, USN(Ret) on October 22, 2013 9:53 pm
My God I dont know what to say. Sad……………disgraceful…………….sickening. I may have been Airwing (VA-105), but the FID was MY SHIP………..MY FIRST SHIP……….AND I AM AND FOREVER WILL BE DAMN PROUD TO CALL MYSELF A FID SAILOR. I made the 88 MED/IO/NATO (108 days at sea straight before we hit our first liberty port in Naples Italy and we only had 15 days of liberty all deployment). I want to cry, I really do. Grown man or not………….its just such a disgrace with her history to let her go like this. For a G.D. Penny????????? I wish there were something we could do. Does anyone think we can at least try and get a piece of her hull for keepsake?
Mike on October 22, 2013 10:28 pm
I was on JFK 1993- 1996. We took the JFK to Philly for a 2 year major overhaul, the Forrestal was moth balled in Philly at this time. My shop on the JFK had to CANNIBALIZE valves and parts off the Forrestal. We went aboard the Forrestal and traced the firemain from the 2nd deck, weapons mags, pump rooms and main spaces all of the valves were brand new " We could not believe how new everything looked. The boilers and everything in the main spaces were brand new. We were told when we got back to the JFK ,the Forrestal went through a 4 year major overhaul then they DECOM it right after the overhaul. " Can you believe that. The Forrestal was in awesome shape much better than the Kennedy was at this time. Back then sailors did a lot of the heavy work now its all contracted. After Forrestal they took the 4 year overhaul down to a 2 year overhaul. The crew on the JFK worked there ass off in Philly those years back. Sad to here there going to scrap a great ship.
Old Sea Dog on October 23, 2013 5:33 am
Given this administration's disdain for anything military, getting rid of Pentagon brass that will not embrace their socialistic and Progressive policies, this sale for a penney is exactly what I would expect of them.
Cliff Ashley on October 23, 2013 9:17 am
I was on the flight deck of Forrestal on July 29, 1967 when the fire broke out. My squadron, VA-106 lost 8 out of the 134 men that died as a result of the fire. It saddens me to know the she is going to be scrapped. From a financial stand point, it may make sense to scrap her but from an emotional stand point to those that served on her; it is a tough pill to swallow. I also made a Med-Cruise on the Saratoga in 1966 and I guess she will be gone also. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about my time on Forrestal CVA 59 and my shipmates that died.
Rick Chiatello on October 23, 2013 9:24 am
I am proud to have served 5 years aboard Forrestal, and ashamed of the fact that nobody could turn the first supercarrier, and one with so much rich history, into a museum for generations to come, to be able to see first hand what this great ship actually meant.

Great friends, great times, bad time.. This Ship had made history her Keel was first laid.. and had a distinguished Career. The USS Forrestal (FID) will always be remembered by 'it's" Crew ….!
ted foster on October 23, 2013 10:26 am
Every ship that decoms and eventually gets scrapped carries with it a trail of Sailor tears. I was always told the Ship is the body, but it's the crew that makes her alive. No feasible way the Navy or the US Govt can keep every Ship as a reminder of former days of glory.
Dave Romano on October 23, 2013 11:20 am
Watched the carrier sail in to SF Bay from GG Bridge headed to Hunters Point, circa 1959.
David Schirmer on October 23, 2013 11:43 am
Taxpayers should be happy. This ship is a direct cost monthly to the Navy (taxpayers) This sale is called recycling. With 17 trillion in debt and another 100 trillion or so in unfunded liabilities including pensions and healthcare, the armed forces need to start trimming and "lean out" everywhere possible. The fact that the military usually ends up with dis-proportionate cuts compared to other govt. departments is problematic. That doesn't mean the shedding of expenses isn't warranted, it means we need to do the same with ALL gov't depts. Getting a ship for .01 cent probably means the scrapper has to tow it to Texas and comply with a phone book size set of regs and compliance BS. That costs a boatload of money. I'm thinking the scrapper makes a little money and keeps a couple hundred workers on the payroll for another year or two. If the former sailors can't raise the dough for yet another museum piece- that speaks for itself.
Don G. Boyer on October 23, 2013 12:13 pm
This "save the old USS" syndrome is getting entirely annoying. There aren't enough veterans in the US to acquire a former supercarrier via donations or any other means and in today's financial environment nobody in their right mind wants to be involved in that kind of expense for a naval vessel, no matter how "historic". If acquired, no organization would be able to pay for the maintenance and upkeep of the ship over the years — painting alone would be millions of dollars a pop. While one always hates to see the old ships go for scrap, trying to preserve one that size is foolish in the extreme unless Bill Gates wants it.
Justin on October 23, 2013 12:17 pm
I want to say thank you to David (#16) for helping me with my massive frustration that matches Mark's (#2) post. I mean, a car goes for $400 in scrap. But if you include the costs of towing and government specifications in how you dismantle it, then yes, that does make sense. Thank you for more info than what CNN was willing to provide.
ACCUSN on October 23, 2013 4:03 pm
I was aboard CV-59 on July 29 1967.
I consider my self a Forrestal fire survivor.
Was laying in my bunk when the first fire call sounded. !st bomb went off as i was rolling out..
2nd one went off as I was leaving 01-119 4- l.
i WAS NOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LADDER, NOT TOO MUCH WORSE FOR WEAR. What really scared me the most was a couple days later as we steamed into Subic and the word REFLASH sounded on the 1MC.
Sorry to see it scrapped, But Uncle SAm doesn't always know when $2 mil is the best offer it could get. !! or so yeaers later we have a carcass for Junk instead of a Museum.
Bob Moss lt usn ret on October 23, 2013 4:33 pm
Imwas on the USS Kula Gulf CVE 108 in 1054 when people were volunteering for pre-com of Forrestall. We were on a jeep carrier. Needless to say all the BTs wanter something new!
Boy I blew the spelling on my post! That was 1954. I am old but not quite that old!
Ron Meece on October 23, 2013 7:58 pm
I was also aboard the Forrestal during the fire. It is really saddening to think of the tremendous effort that we put forth that day to extinguish the fire. Those 8 from VA-106 were our buddies. Their names are on the Vietnam wall not to be forgotten. However they are more deeply engraved on the hearts of us who survived. What our government does no longer surprises me. A fool says in his heart there is no God how much less is a fool who says we don't wont God in our government or our schools. What do you expect from a government ran by the foolish.
Paul Ghiotto on October 23, 2013 9:18 pm
If one goes to the website for the Historic Naval Ships Assn. they will discover the enormous costs of maintaining museum ships in the condition that paying tourists and the Navy expect. One of the biggest problems occurs when the initial enthusiasm – and the sailors who sailed on the ship – dies out. Check out the situation with the USS Yorktown in Charleston and the USS Olympia in Philadelphia. Folks, it ain't easy maintaining "older women!"
Mike Sheldon on October 23, 2013 11:27 pm
I was aboard CVA-59 during the fire, I was with CVW-17 and VF-74. Lost many good shipmates that day and the memories will always be there. Sad to see a piece of Naval History go for junk. Still flying now only in my piper Cherokee and saw it from the air many times while she was in Newport RI. Always wanted to try to land on her deck one more time–bolter-bolter
Henry frisbie on October 23, 2013 11:33 pm
not unexpected but a sad day, med cruise, 72/73. dad was a thirty year man and I followed a lot of his old boats to the scrap yard, like losing family.
CMDCM(ret) Joe Diaz on October 24, 2013 2:49 am
I was in Subic, a 18 year old seaman on a minesweeper,when the FID was offloading the caskets, one after another down the gangway. Saddest sight in my whole life. Left for Vietnam the next day. BUT – in 2005 I was going to the Command Master Chief course in Newport, RI and saw the FIB and "Sarah" side by side – well beyond economical repair. Fixing up another carrier as a musuem is really a crazy task. I hate to see history die like this – but with the training tapes, reunions, etc. She'll NEVER die.
Jeremy Bateman on October 27, 2013 1:50 pm
No matter what the arguments about saving carriers are, she's gone. The best thing's probly to write the Navy Sec to name one of the new DDG51s as a new USS Forrestal in memory of the man, the 1st supercarrier, and the 5000-at-a-time who served on her, especially the 134.
Steve Alvarado on October 28, 2013 1:52 pm
I would much rather see these ships sunk off our coasts as artificial reefs as opposed to being scrapped.
Tim King on October 28, 2013 9:41 pm
I was stationed at NAS Cubi Pt in 1967. I was one of about a dozen airdales who volunteered to assist in casualty preparation. We were given masks white aprons and we were doused in peppermint oil. The Forrestal tied up at the carrier pier at Cubi and the fire alarms were still going off. To a commenter above: the casualties were NOT brought down the gangway in caskets. The casualties were in body bags and were brought down on the elevator, on pallets, and GSE then moved the pallets to waiting C-130s. Each body bag had a flag on it. The carrier oiler was crowded with media. We volunteers went aboard to the hangar deck where the bodies were being prepared. They actually did not need our assistance. We left the ship via catwalks in the aft part of the ship – where the most damage had been done. It was horrendous – the unbelievable damage and the smell – the smell of death everywhere. I can smell it now. I will never forget this as long as I live.
James on October 30, 2013 1:40 pm
This article is misleading. They are not selling them the ship for one cent. Usually the Navy pays a contractor to dismantle a ship. In this case the payment is the scrap value of the ship plus 1 cent. You can't do a contract without any funding (in most cases) and this is the way around that FAR rule.
