Workplace Safety: When Saving Dollars Makes Sense
This paper includes a discussion on how to improve safety in the workplace with a focus on the trucking industry. Implementation of a "Safety First" or "Zero Incident" culture is a necessity to remain to business. Companies that neglect to put safety first are finding themselves faced with high fines or bankrupt. The latest government regulations for the trucking industry can place a carrier out of service for non-compliance upon first incident.
Safety can be accompanied by a hefty price tag. For those who are not compliant, the "catch-up" may be a costly endeavor. Once a "Safety First" culture is adopted by your company and championed from within the top management, there are a myriad of means to save money. Companies that adopt a safety program that originates with executive management and is followed through by floor supervisors are the most successful. Workers take their cues from their leaders. Supervisors who work safely produce safe workers. Safe workers produce a less stressful environment that leads to higher work satisfaction and lower turnover rates. Hayes and team proved this cause and effect relationship in their 1998 study of the Work Safety Scale.
Additionally, new safety regulations have befallen the trucking industry. CSA 2010, the new measure of safety in trucking, has changed the way many trucking companies do business. This 90-day continuous update system is a quick way to excel over the competition or end up out of business. Workplace safety, in the warehouse or on the highway, can no longer be ignored. It is mandatory to work safely and compliant in order to remain in business.
This paper reviews how companies can profit from being safe. A two decade, firsthand account of instilling a "Safety First" culture in various workplaces is discussed. Tips on how to make any working environment safe is covered along with the resulting awards. Sources on how to obtain safety training are contained within this paper.

Appendix B to Part 386—Penalty Schedule; Violations and Maximum Civil Penalties
The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 [Public Law 104-134, title III, chapter 10, §31001, par. (s), 110 Stat. 1321-373] amended the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 to require agencies to adjust for inflation "each civil monetary penalty provided by law within the jurisdiction of the Federal agency * * *" and to publish that regulation in the Federal Register. Pursuant to that authority, the inflation-adjusted civil penalties listed in paragraphs (a) through (h) of this appendix supersede the corresponding civil penalty amounts listed in title 49, United States Code.
What are the types of violations and maximum monetary penalties?
(a) Violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs):
(a)(1) Recordkeeping. A person or entity that fails to prepare or maintain a record required by parts 40, 382, 385, and 390-99 of this subchapter, or prepares or maintains a required record that is incomplete, inaccurate, or false, is subject to a maximum civil penalty of $1,000 for each day the violation continues, up to $10,000.
(a)(2) Knowing falsification of records. A person or entity that knowingly falsifies, destroys, mutilates, or changes a report or record required by parts 382, 385, and 390-99 of this subchapter, knowingly makes or causes to be made a false or incomplete record about an operation or business fact or transaction, or knowingly makes, prepares, or preserves a record in violation of a regulation or order of the Secretary is subject to a maximum civil penalty of $10,000 if such action misrepresents a fact that constitutes a violation other than a reporting or recordkeeping violation.
(a)(3) Non-recordkeeping violations. A person or entity that violates parts 382, 385, or 390-99 of this subchapter, except a recordkeeping requirement, is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $11,000 for each violation.
(a)(4) Non-recordkeeping violations by drivers. A driver who violates parts 382, 385, and 390-99 of this subchapter, except a recordkeeping violation, is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $2,750.
(a)(5) Violation of 49 CFR 392.5. A driver placed out of service for 24 hours for violating the alcohol prohibitions of 49 CFR 392.5(a) or (b) who drives during that period is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $3,750 for each violation.
(b) Commercial driver's license (CDL) violations. Any person who violates 49 CFR part 383, subparts B, C, E, F, G, or H is subject to a civil penalty of $3,750.
(c) Special penalties pertaining to violations of out-of-service orders by CDL-holders. A CDL-holder who is convicted of violating an out-of-service order shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $2,100 nor more than $3,750. An employer of a CDL-holder who knowingly allows, requires, permits, or authorizes that employee to operate a CMV during any period in which the CDL-holder is subject to an out-of-service order, is subject to a civil penalty of not less than $3,750 or more than $16,000.
(d) Financial responsibility violations. A motor carrier that fails to maintain the levels of financial responsibility prescribed by Part 387 of this subchapter is subject to a maximum penalty of $16,000 for each violation. Each day of a continuing violation constitutes a separate offense.
(e) Violations of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs) and Safety Permitting Regulations found in subpart E of Part 385. This paragraph applies to violations by motor carriers, drivers, shippers and other persons who transport hazardous materials on the highway in commercial motor vehicles or cause hazardous materials to be so transported.
(e)(1) All knowing violations of 49 U.S.C. chapter 51 or orders or regulations issued under the authority of that chapter applicable to the transportation or shipment of hazardous materials by commercial motor vehicle on highways are subject to a civil penalty of not less than $250 and not more than $50,000 for each violation. Each day of a continuing violation constitutes a separate offense.

(e)(3) All knowing violations of 49 U.S.C. chapter 51 or orders, regulations, or exemptions issued under the authority of that chapter applicable to the manufacture, fabrication, marking, maintenance, reconditioning, repair, or testing of a packaging or container that is represented, marked, certified, or sold as being qualified for use in the transportation or shipment of hazardous materials by commercial motor vehicle on highways are subject to a civil penalty of not less than $250 and not more than $50,000 for each violation.
(e)(4) Whenever regulations issued under the authority of 49 U.S.C. chapter 51 require compliance with the FMCSRs while transporting hazardous materials, any violations of the FMCSRs will be considered a violation of the HMRs and subject to a civil penalty of not less than $250 and not more than $50,000.
(e)(5) If any violation subject to the civil penalties set out in paragraphs (e)(1) through (4) of this appendix results in death, serious illness, or severe injury to any person or in substantial destruction of property, the civil penalty may be increased to not more than $105,000 for each offense.

For more years than I like to remember, I've been trying to make the point to audiences around the West that grazing can benefit the land, in many cases more than preservation. I've probably put together a thousand slide shows displaying "befores" and "afters" and fence-line contrasts. I've shown how grazing has succeeded in restoring ecological function to land that was essentially dead, and how preservation has taken land that was functioning effectively and made it essentially dead.
Recently, I've come up with a way of getting people out of their standard "grazing bad, protection good" way of thinking that gets especially good results. It consists of a series of side-by-side photos of two pieces of rangeland that are similar in all respects except management. In each of the cases, the condition of the pieces of land I have selected for these comparisons couldn't be more different. On one side, the land is painfully barren. What plants do exist are obviously unhealthy. On the other side, the land is green and growing and diverse.
Of course, everyone—enviros, ranchers, government staffers, someone who stumbled in off the street—picks the green and growing land. Who wouldn't? And, after they've gone through the whole list—grasslands, deserts, endangered-species habitat, lands that have been mined, parks, riparian areas, vernal pools, etc.—it becomes clear that in every case they have chosen land that is grazed over land that is protected.
The next question is the one that takes everyone, ranchers and enviros alike, out of their comfort zone. It does so because the answer is exactly the opposite of what everyone expects it to be.
The photo comparison that accompanies this question is dramatic. I don't think you could take two more different rangeland photos in the western United States.
This comparison shows, on one side, a large barren floodplain with drip irrigation hoses stretching futilely into the distance. Except for a few tumbleweed seedlings at a couple of drip ports, there is not a plant to be seen. An insert in the barren-land picture shows a close-up of one of the drip ports where water oozes out of the hose. Water stains the barren soil around the port, but even here there is not a wisp of green.
The audience then learns this piece of land has been irrigated for two years as part of a restoration project devised by the best minds modern range science and ecosystem restoration consulting can muster. It is floodplain land that once raised crops, but has been exhausted. The farmer went bankrupt and abandoned it.
In contrast, the other piece of land in the comparison is also a floodplain, It is covered with grasses that are iridescently green. Cows graze among the knee-deep grasses. The colors in this photo are so bright they look enhanced, but they aren't. The only explanation I can give is that this effect is caused by the rainbow that happened to be present when Photographer Tom Bean and I were fortunate enough to get to this site.
This land has been cropland, too, and has seen rough times as well. It, however, has been successfully restored and is sustained by the management of a rancher, David Ogilvie, who uses cows as part of his toolbox.
As the audience looks at the world's-apart contrast on the screen, I ask which of these two pieces of land is most valuable. The response is instant and emphatic. "The green land. The one with the cows!" Some of them even shout. Everyone likes to be right, and everyone knows you would have to be an absolute fool to believe the barren land on the left is more valuable.
That's why they're all so surprised when I tell them they're wrong.
"What's the green piece of land worth?" I ask. It produces a few burgers and maybe a few bales of hay every year. No big deal.
How valuable is the wasteland? That land is owned by a major western city which is under court order to restore it or start paying significant fines. Think of all the bureaucrats who are being paid five- and six-figure salaries year after year to manage that land and, supposedly, to restore it. And as it has become obvious that they are failing, think of all the consultants who have been hired via six-figure contracts to come up with a method that would work. Think of all the grants secured by major universities to research the dilemma presented here because this problem is being repeated all across the West. And then think of all the lawyers who are suing the agency that is failing to restore this land to "natural conditions," as the law requires, and all the lawyers the agency has hired to defend itself. To cap it all off, think of all the environmental groups which are using this dilemma, or one like it, to attract members and garner grants.
In other words, the wasteland is worth thousands of times more than the healthy, green, and growing land, at least in terms of the amount of economic activity it creates.
From this we can learn a lot. First of all, by "following the money," we can learn that we're going to end up with a lot more land that looks like the land on the left and a lot less that looks like the land on the right.
We can also conclude that managers like Dave Ogilvie, who can give us land like that on the right, are going to be in less demand than managers who can give us the land on the left.
Considering the above, ranchers can be fairly certain that making their land look like that on the right in the above comparisons is most likely not going to get them rewarded by, approved by, or accepted by environmentalists. It isn't even going to cause environmentalists to stop opposing them so vehemently.
How sure can we be of this?
In every case illustrated above, the owners of the land on the left were approached with a credible proposal to make their land look like that on the right. In every case, the proposal included a management team that had succeeded several times in doing just that. And in every case, those entities chose to keep their land in the condition illustrated on the left rather than to have it healed or made as healthy and productive as the land on the right.
There are exceptions to what I have just written. There are cases in which environmental groups support the use of grazing animals to achieve environmental goals. In California, cattle are being used to sustain vernal pools and the rare species that inhabit them. In a number of places around the West, goats and other animals are used to reduce fire danger and combat invasive non-natives. In each case, however, this spirit of collaboration is strictly limited to a specific situation and a specific location. The rule in environmentalist/rancher relations is that mainstream environmental groups continue to press to end grazing on all land on which management is controlled in any way by the government.

What is a Bilge?
Boat Bilge Pumps
The word "bilge" is a nautical term which is used to refer to a several concepts. It dates from 1513, when "bilge" was first used to refer to the lowest compartment inside the hull of a ship, where the two sides meet at the bottom. However, the term is also used to discuss the matter which collects in the bilge: water drains from the decks of the ship into the bilge, dragging detritus from topside down below. The water that collects in the bilge is usually brackish and also has a foul odor, so bilge has also come to be a term which refers to anything foul or unpleasant. A bilge pump is a device which is used to remove water from the bilge.
Modern sailboats have mechanized bilge pumps.
The bilge is a collection point for water which overflows on the decks of the ship, along with water which enters through small leaks along the hull before they have been noticed and repaired. Especially in storms, the decks of the ship cannot drain to the sea quickly enough for the decks to be safe to walk on and so the excess water is routed into the bottom of the ship to be handled by a bilge pump, or several, in the case of a large boat. Because the water drains from the decks, which are not always completely clean, the bilge also collects detritus like urine and feces from seabirds and unscrupulous sailors, tar, food material, and other dirt that has accumulated on deck. The contents of the bilge can get quite acidic and it is usually painted with a protective seal to prevent the bilge water from eating through to the sea. The bilge pump must also be carefully monitored to ensure that it is not clogged or damaged by the bilge water.
Because bilge water gets understandably foul, the task of cleaning the bilge was often assigned to junior sailors. Periodically, ships are hauled into dry dock for service and repairs, and cleaning and resurfacing the bilge is a vital part of this procedure, but not a very pleasant one. The linkage between bilge water and unpleasantness caused the term to be used generically among sailors for people speaking nonsense and foul tasting drinks.
Before the introduction of mechanization to sailing, the bilge had to be bailed or pumped by hand. In emergency situations like storms, the bilge could fill quite quickly, potentially posing a risk of sinking. For this reason, sailors were stationed to keep an eye on the bilge at all times during hazardous weather, and to pump it continually. If the contents of the bilge were overwhelming, everyone on the ship would be enlisted to help avert catastrophe. Mechanized bilge pumps on modern ships greatly reduce this risk, although an electric bilge pump can still fail, so hand pumps are kept on board. Maintenance for the bilge pump is also crucial, to minimize the risk of failure at a crucial moment.
Responsible sailors consider the bilge pump to be vital to the integrity of a ship, and usually have at least one backup pump in addition to the regular bilge pumps to ensure coverage at all times. A number of things can go wrong at sea which cause the hull of a ship to rapidly fill with water, and properly installing and maintaining a bilge pump could make the difference between losing a ship and making it back to port.

A Shahab 3 long range missile is launched during a test from an unknown location in central Iran on Monday, Sept. 28.
WASHINGTON — Amid increasing international support for tougher sanctions on Iran, the Islamic republic launched its longest-range missiles in a show of force ahead of nuclear talks scheduled for Oct. 1 in Geneva.
Iranian state media heralded the successful launch of a new generation of Shahab-3 and Sajjil ballistic missiles, which are capable of reaching Israel, US bases in the Middle East, and southeastern Europe. The launches added to media buzz generated by Tehran's revelation last week that it had been covertly constructing a second uranium enrichment facility. But there are signs that playing the traditional nuclear trump card to rally nationalist fervor may backfire for the regime, whose legitimacy many Iranians have challenged in the wake of June elections.
"Whenever foreign pressure on Iran rises, the hard-liners respond by testing missiles — a threat specifically leveled at Israel," says a political analyst in Tehran with reformist sympathies who asked to remain anonymous for fear of government reprisal.
A survey released Sept. 25 confirms the analyst's assessment that many Iranians do not support the pursuit of nuclear weapons, although that was also true prior to the election.
The poll, conducted between Aug. 27 and Sept. 10 by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland found that two-thirds of Iranians favored precluding the development of nuclear weapons in exchange for the lifting of sanctions against Iran. Half of of those polled were willing to halt enrichment activities altogether.
While Iranian views of their government and its foreign policy may have changed, their attitudes toward nuclear weapons have remained largely stable over the past 18 months. A separate PIPA poll from early 2008 and republished just ahead of the June elections found that more than 70 percent of Iranians across the political spectrum – conservatives included – opposed their development.
After Monday's missile launch, the commander of the Revolutionary Guard Air Force issued an implicit threat to Israel and other players in the region with the missiles' 1,200-mile range.
The show of force comes three days ahead of key talks with major world powers over Iran's disputed nuclear program, slated to open Thursday in Geneva, and less than a week after Tehran revealed it has been constructing a covert second uranium enrichment facility.
At the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh, Western powers warned Iran it must open up the new site — located on a military base near the city of Qom, roughly 100 miles southwest of the capital — to international inspectors or face harsher sanctions.


Collection including a trilogy of war films and the controversial 'L'amore' (1948) directed by Roberto Rossellini. 'Rome, Open City' (1945) is a drama about the last days of the Nazi occupation of Italy during World War II. Resistance leader Giorgio Manfredi (Marcello Pagliero) flees the Gestapo and seeks a place to hide with the help of his friend Francesco (Francesco Grandjacquet), his pregnant fiancée Pina (Anna Magnani) and the priest who is due to marry them, Don Pietro Pellegrini (Aldo Fabrizi).
Giorgio's ex-girlfriend Marina (Maria Michi) betrays him and his fellow fighters to the Gestapo in order to get her hands on some luxury items and it's not long before the Nazis and the local police find him and Don Pietro. They are captured and tortured but will they crack under the pain or be executed for their silence? 'Paisà' (1946) is Rossellini's account of the liberation of Italy during World War II told in six chapters. In each chapter a different view of the liberation is given as it spreads across the country.
Different characters are also followed in each segment including American chaplains, soldiers, monks and prostitutes. 'Germany Year Zero' (1948) is the moving account of life in post-war Germany, telling the story of a 13-year-old black marketeer who poisons his ailing father out of pity and necessity. In 'L'amore' (1948), a vagabond (Federico Fellini) convinces a woman (Magnani) to sleep with him by telling her that he is Saint Joseph, causing her to think she will give birth to Jesus Christ.
Available for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK, these stunning films by master filmmaker Roberto Rossellini are all undisputed classics of World Cinema.
This limited edition Blu-ray box set includes Rossellini's celebrated War Trilogy, made during and immediately after World War II – Rome, Open City, Paisà and Germany Year Zero – as well as his controversial 1948 film L'Amore starring Anna Magnani and Federico Fellini. These are the films that established Roberto Rossellini as one of the most important and influential filmmakers of all time.


I'm about 2/3 toward my bronze medal and I've made a start on the silver as well….. pictures (the ones I can show, at least) will be up this weekend.
4. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.
5. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
#12 is Evie from "The Mommy". I love that quote!
#11 is Gosford Park, I can see the person who said it but can't remember her name. One of the maids.
I love all 3 of these movies. Have them all on DVD and watched them more time than I care to admit.
I got Serenity (#3), The Mummy (#12) and #9 GWTW. And I SWEAR I just watched #6, I just can't think of what it is. I've got The Other Boleyn girl stuck in my mind for this.
12 is from the Mummy!
This was too much fun! Everyone has already guessed the ones I knew, but this was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Even knowing there had to be a Hellboy quote on there, I still missed it. The ones you have left are from movies I haven't seen (yes, I looked them up, it was killing me!). Already put this up on my blog. Thanks!

Pregnant Ghanaian nurse dies with coronavirus but her baby is saved
A pregnant nurse who died in Luton & Dunstable hospital after contracting coronavirus has been remembered as "a blessing to everyone she came across".
Mary Agyeiwaa Agyapong, 28, who worked as a nurse on a general ward at the Bedfordshire hospital for five years, died on Easter Sunday.
Her baby girl – also thought to be called Mary – was successfully delivered after an emergency caesarean section and is doing well, according to the hospital.
It is not clear if the newborn has tested positive for Covid-19.
ITV News understands that Ms Agyeiwaa Agyapong had been on maternity leave before being admitted to hospital.
It is understood that Ms Agyeiwaa Agyapong's father has also died after contracting coronavirus, just days before his daughter.
In a statement on a fundraising page set up in her honour, friends and family of the 28-year-old described her as "a blessing to everyone she came across".
The statement added: "Her love, care and sincerity will be irreplaceable."
The Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said that Ms Agyapong tested positive on April 5 and was admitted to the hospital she worked at on April 7.
The hospital paid tribute to Ms Agyeiwaa Agyapong, who had worked on a general ward there for five years, saying she was "highly valued and loved" by her colleagues.
A statement from the Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust described Ms Agyeiwaa Agyapong as a "loved member" of staff.
David Carter, CEO at the Trust, said in a statement: "It is with great sadness that I can confirm the death of one of our nurses, Mary Agyeiwaa Agyapong, who passed away on Sunday 12th April.
"Mary worked here for five years and was a highly valued and loved member of our team, a fantastic nurse and a great example of what we stand for in this Trust.
"She tested positive for Covid-19 after being tested on 5th of April and was admitted to the hospital on the 7th April.
"Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Mary's family and friends at this sad time. We ask that the family's privacy is respected at this time."

This Beauty Vlogger Is Challenging Her Peers to Only Use Black-Owned Makeup Brands
ByRachel Lubitz
Jackie Aina's YouTube channel is full of videos you'd only expect from a beauty vlogger with more than 790,000 subscribers including natural makeup tutorials, color correcting tutorials and videos showing off her Sephora hauls. But last week, Aina posted a video that broke the mold in order to call attention to specifically black-owned beauty brands.
In a video titled "Calling ALL Non-Black YouTubers! New Makeup Challenge!," Aina announced that in order to diversify the kinds of makeup beauty vloggers use in their tutorials, she'd be challenging her peers to the BOMB Challenge, which is short for "Black-Owned Makeup Brands" challenge, which asks them to only use black-owned makeup brands in their videos.
According to Aina, many YouTubers and general makeup fanatics have been shying away from black-owned beauty brands out of pure ignorance. "It just doesn't make sense that people shy away from beauty brands because they're black-owned. Because apparently people only think that black people can use black beauty brands. That's not the case."
Mic/YouTube
"I think it's really important that black people are not just the only people supporting these brands, as well as these YouTubers," she said in the video. "These amazing brands should be just as mainstream as other brands — just the same way I feel that black YouTubers should be just as mainstream as other YouTubers. But unfortunately, that's not the case — especially when your skin is a certain color."
By taking part in this challenge, Aina says that YouTubers have the opportunity to share new brands and companies with their thousands of followers, and to help black-owned businesses.
For anyone who's still hesitant about participating, Aina insists that using black-owned makeup brands is no more difficult than, say, taking the time to put on 100 layers of highlighter or 100 coats of lipstick. "If you can slather on a hundred different highlighters on your face or a hundred different lipsticks, I don't really see how far-fetched it is to ask someone who is not black to support black beauty brands."
Especially in a time like this, with Black Lives Matter getting more and more attention, Aina says that it's important to support black people within the beauty sphere. So far, the BOMB Challenge is already getting attention on Instagram, with beauty bloggers tagging their pictures with the black beauty brands they're using.
In the description for the video, Aina made a point to list several different great black-owned beauty brands such as SheaMoisture and AJ Crimson Beauty, in order to ensure that people don't use ignorance as a reason for not participating. And given that the video's already been viewed more than 200,000 times, her challenge is set to actually make a real difference.

Biografia

Origini e carriera

La sua famiglia era composta dal figlio Tiberio Clodio Pupieno Massimo e dalla figlia Pupiena Sestia Paolina Cetegilla; forse Marco Pupieno Africano, console del 236 fu suo figlio.

La carriera di Pupieno è raccontata dalla spesso inaffidabile Historia Augusta, che dipinge un uomo di umili condizioni salito nella scala sociale grazie a una carriera nell'esercito romano. Secondo questa fonte, infatti, Pupieno sarebbe stato prima primus pilus (primo centurione di una legione), poi tribuno militare, pretore, proconsole di Bitinia, Grecia e Gallia Narbonense, console suffetto (probabilmente nel 207) e ordinario (nel 234); combatté prima nell'Illirico contro i Sarmati Iazigi e poi, divenuto governatore di Germania (Superiore o Inferiore) contro i Germani (Franchi o Alemanni). Nel 234 sarebbe divenuto praefectus urbi, guadagnandosi la fama di severità. Il più autorevole Erodiano conferma il governatorato della Germania, che esercitò con successo, tanto che in seguito, quando avrebbe avuto bisogno di raccogliere truppe contro Massimino il Trace, sarebbero accorsi molti Germani.

Ascesa al trono

Al di là della veridicità del racconto al riguardo delle sue umili origini, Pupieno è attestato come appartenente all'aristocrazia senatoriale romana. Nel 238 il Senato romano, che aveva accettato malvolentieri l'elevazione a imperatore di Massimino il Trace da parte dell'esercito, colse l'occasione di una rivolta in Africa per nominarne i capi imperatori (Gordiano I e Gordiano II) e per dichiarare Massimino "nemico dello Stato"; temendo, correttamente, un attacco di Massimino, che si trovava sulla frontiera danubiana, il Senato formò una commissione, detta XX Viri Ex S.C. Rei Publicae Curandae ("Vigintiviri per la cura dello Stato per volere del Senato"), il cui scopo era difendere la città da Massimino, e di cui faceva parte anche Decimo Celio Calvino Balbino.

Attorno alla metà del mese di gennaio del 238, però, Capelliano, ex-governatore della Mauretania e ora governatore di Numidia leale a Massimino, sconfisse l'esercito dei due Gordiano nella battaglia di Cartagine, ponendo fine alla loro rivolta. Avendo perso i propri capi, e trovandosi di fronte alla minaccia posta da Massimino che stava giungendo dalla frontiera, il Senato si riunì in fretta nel Tempio di Giove Capitolino ed elesse due nuovi imperatori, Balbino e Pupieno (1º febbraio).

Si ebbe però una rivolta della plebe di Roma, in particolare dei sostenitori del partito dei Gordiani, che volevano fosse eletto imperatore uno della famiglia dei ribelli sconfitti. Pupieno e Balbino raccolsero un certo numero di giovani dell'ordine equestre e cercarono di aprirsi un varco tra la folla, essendone respinti. Decisero allora di nominare cesare il figlio di Antonia Gordiana, sorella di Gordiano II e figlia di Gordiano I, passato alla storia come Gordiano III. Pupieno, in virtù della sua carriera militare, fu inviato contro Massimino alla testa dell'esercito a Ravenna, mentre Balbino rimaneva a Roma a sedare una rivolta della plebe dovuta all'uccisione di due pretoriani per mano di due senatori nella Curia.

Nel frattempo, la situazione di Massimino non era facile. Il malcontento per la scarsità di rifornimenti e le difficoltà incontrate nell'assedio di Aquileia, spinsero i suoi legionari a riconsiderare la loro fedeltà. I soldati della Legio II Parthica uccisero l'usurpatore e si arresero a Pupieno tra la fine di marzo e gli inizi di aprile.

Regno e caduta

Pupieno entrò in Aquileia trionfante e offri pubblici sacrifici; in seguito fece un breve discorso alle truppe riunite, che dallo stesso si erano recate in pace; diede loro un premio in denaro, invitandoli a tornare presso le loro sedi lungo il limes per compiere il loro dovere, ora fedeli ai nuovi Augusti; e infine fece ritorno a Roma insieme con la guardia pretoriana e gli ausiliari germanici.

Nella capitale fu accolto da Balbino, Gordiano e l'intero Senato come un trionfatore. Tenne, quindi, un discorso ai senatori, poi da lì, insieme con Balbino e Gordiano III, si ritirò al palazzo imperiale. Poco dopo cominciarono nuovi disordini in città. Balbino era stato coinvolto nello scontro con i partigiani di Gordiano III e la città bruciava per gli incendi appiccati dai rivoltosi. Con la presenza di entrambi i co-imperatori, la situazione si stabilizzò, ma l'inquietudine rimase. Il rapporto fra Balbino e Pupieno fu inquinato dal sospetto fin dall'inizio. Entrambi, infatti, temevano di essere assassinati l'uno dall'altro. Essi pianificarono una grandissima doppia campagna, Pupieno contro i Sasanidi e Balbino contro le tribù germaniche, ma nel frattempo si combattevano spesso fra loro.

Fu forse il timore che gli imperatori scelti dal senato sciogliessero la Guardia pretoriana sostituendola con la guardia germanica che spinse alcuni pretoriani a mettere in atto un colpo di Stato. Pupieno, avvertito del pericolo, chiese a Balbino di convocare la guardia germanica, ma questi, temendo si trattasse di un tranello per ucciderlo si rifiutò, incominciando un acceso alterco col collega. I pretoriani ebbero dunque vita facile a penetrare nel palazzo imperiale e a catturare i due augusti indifesi, che furono portati nell'accampamento della Guardia, dove furono macellati. All'arrivo della guardia germanica, i pretoriani avevano già acclamato imperatore Gordiano III.

Essi avevano regnato insieme poco meno di tre mesi. Le monete emesse nel loro breve regno mostrano uno dei due su una faccia e due mani allacciate sull'altra a simboleggiare il loro potere congiunto.

Jet.com: Banker Gurl's More Bang For Your Buck!
Has anyone else checked out jet.com? It is supposed to be a site where you can get big savings on everything from toilet paper to TVs. I had seen commercials for it, but didn't check it out till today when I got a flyer in the mail for $15 off a $50 purchase. I browsed the site, mostly for the kinds of items I resell (HBA) since I am most familiar with price points for those items. Everything seemed to be about the same as Target prices....has anyone else used this site or had thoughts on their prices? The only item I found for cheaper then I could get buying locally was Beneful Dry Dog Food. MO is the one that buys that, and he said he pays $15+ per bag, it was $13.35 on the website. On the site, the more you buy, the more you save (I am not sure what the equation is for that), so I got an extra $1+ off for buying 4 bags, I used the $15 off $50, and also got free shipping. So for 4 bags of 15.5lb Beneful it came to $37.05, $9.26 per bag! So we saved over $6 per bag which is a great deal for a product we need, but without the flyer/coupon prob wouldn't have ordered from them.
I heard of them, and seem to be getting emails, but have not yet browsed the site. Thanks for sharing your experience.


When I was little, I lived across the street from a library. I spent so much time in that space, surrounded by books, and I clearly remember feeling awe when I thought about how each book contained a world of its own. I knew at a very young age that I had to be part of that, and have dreamed of seeing my name on the front cover of a novel ever since. All of that said, I owe my parents everything when it comes to my love of reading and writing. They gave me my first exposure and had a great deal to do with my love of words.
Stephen King. I started with CUJO when I was about ten and have never looked back. King can successfully write from just about any point of view and is capable of weaving the most intricate storylines. Most of all, he makes me feel deeply – whether it's fear or sadness or a sense of accomplishment, I'm always right there alongside his characters, feeling whatever they're feeling. To me, that is the most magical part of experiencing a story.
Honestly, it changes some for each book. But I always have to know some important things before I begin writing a draft, so I spend quite a bit of time brainstorming upfront, figuring out who my characters are and what they most want, need, or desire. I'm a plotter, so the next step is to take a stack of note cards and jot notes for each chapter. Once I have this in place, I begin writing, usually straying from the notecards quite a bit. But I can't skip that step—those notecards are like a road map, one that I can detour from whenever needed, but a guiding force that keeps me pointed in the right direction. After I have a full draft, I send to my agent for feedback, and then I settle in for a revision.
Name a book you have read more than once. THIRTEEN REASONS WHY by Jay Asher. Oh, the love I have for that book!

5Qs with Nat Raha
At the end of this week, INTERROBANG‽ will be co-hosting and -producing an evening of trans and non-binary performance organised through LGBT Youth Scotland and Beyond Gender as part of Scottish PEN's Many Voices project that aims to amplify voices that are silenced and marginalised.
As well as the talented young people who have participated in the I Write, I Rise workshops and the US-based writer, speaker, activist, teacher and poet Eli Clare, the evening will feature the poet and trans / queer activist Nat Raha.
Nat's poetry includes the books [of sirens / body & faultlines], countersonnets, mute exterior intimate and Octet. She's performed and published her work internationally, and is undertaking a PhD in Creative & Critical Writing at the University of Sussex.
Nat Raha
So it goes almost without saying that we're delighted Nat has taken a bit of time to answer some questions relating to the night, and share some thoughts.
‽: You're going to be sharing some words with us at the I Write, I Rise event, part of Scottish PEN's Many Voices project. How did you become part of I Write, I Rise?
NR: I've been leading the I Write, I Rise creative writing workshops in Leith, working with a group of talented and open-minded (creatively!) trans and non-binary youth, between the ages of 17-24. I was lucky to be chosen by Scottish PEN to undertake this work!
‽: What does the phrase I Write, I Rise mean to you?
NR: The phrase, of course, builds from Maya Angelou's Still I Rise. For me, writing – writing poetry and essays – has been key to expressing, documenting, advancing, reflecting, sharing, and building my thoughts and feelings, alongside those of the communities and collectives I've been a part of. To Rise from the words we find and put to paper, together, is to build our lives, our being. The two verbs work together: we ascend through our expression.
‽: The I Write, I Rise workshops and event were produced in association with LGBT Youth Scotland. Are there any LGBTQ writers who are particularly important to you?
NR: My relationship to poetry and literature has primarily been through LGBT writers of the 20th Century and contemporary – Frank O'Hara and Virginia Woolf were first loves. I've been fortunate to be surrounded by and spurred on by queer and trans writers since I started writing poetry seriously – namely Mendoza aka Linus Slug, Sophie Robinson and Verity Spott, each of whom works through questions of identity, voice, language and queer desire in extraordinary ways.
Linus Slug
In the past year, I've been fortunate to be connected to a number of trans writers based in North America, who have written through much that's been on my mind the past 10+ years – in particular, Trish Salah and micha cárdenas articulations of trans/transfeminine desire through formal (re)invention have been important to me. Their work feels like a literary affirmation of what I was trying to do myself five years ago in my countersonnets.
Chrysanthemum Tran
During the I Write, I Rise workshops, I brought to the group work by trans, genderqueer and non-binary writers that I felt was fresh and exciting – including the work of Spott, Slug, cárdenas, TC Tolbert, Chrysanthemum Tran, alongside the epic Troubling the Line: Trans and Genderqueer Poetry anthology edited by TC Tolbert and Trace Peterson.
‽: Can you tell us a song or a piece of music that might resonate with what you'll be sharing with us –or that will inspire you – on 9th September?
NR: A teen inspiration for me: Roses in the Hospital by Manic Street Preachers.
‽: The Manics seem to strike a chord with a number of the writers we work with! Finally, without giving away too many spoilers, what else can you tell us about what you're going to be sharing with us at the event?
NR: My most recent poems are of trans resistance, desire, strikes against bourgeois cis-normativity, escape from dailiness, and the Firth of Forth.

AUSTIN—Wearables that deliver notifications and only notifications really need to justify their existence, since, let's face it, it's really not that big a deal to just wait until you pick up your smartphone to see who called or texted you. So to succeed, products need a fun design that you'd actually want to wear, good battery life so that keeping them charged doesn't become a chore, customization so you get only the notifications you really care about, and a low price point because... duh. Ringblingz, shown off at the R/GA accelerator's demo day at South by Southwest, hits all of those pitches out of the park.
Aimed at teenagers, Ringblingz is a fashionable wearable accessory that comes as a ring, a pendant, or a bracelet. It's got a vibration motor and LEDs, and connects to your iOS or Android phone with Bluetooth LE. The companion app lets you set up your network—just pick the people who are important to you, and assign them a color. Your best friend can be red, the boy you're crushing on could be purple, whatever—the LEDs can create 300 colors in all, so your network can get pretty ridiculous before you run out of colors.
The mobile app that accompanies Ringblinz lets you turn on different social networks for each person in your contact list.
For each person in your Ringblingz network, you can toggle on or off different social networks: Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, texts, and even old-fashioned phone calls (as if). Activity on those networks causes the ring to flash that person's color and buzz with custom vibrations—adios, FOMO.
Fashion-wise, the Ringblingz is fairly basic on its own—small enough to blend in with your outfit, with the ring of colored light giving it some neat, techy flair. The company will partner with designers like jewelry maven Debra Shepard for funkier designs, as well as let you customize your own 3D-printed creations with help from Makerbot and Shapeways. Raul Peñaranda even included Ringblingz in his runway show at last month's New York Fashion Week.
The Ringblingz runs on a coin-cell battery so there's nothing to charge, and the company promises free batteries for life. Thanks to Bluetooth LE you shouldn't have to change them much, but it really depends on how many notifications you have, you popular so-and-so. And with a price point of around $40 to $60 for each Ringblingz, losing one would be a bummer but not a tragedy.
Ringblingz is one of the best-looking wearables we've seen so far—OK, that's not such a huge hurdle to clear, but still—and targeting connected teens is a stroke of genius. At the risk of dating ourselves, it's quite possible that making someone's Ringblingz network will be as important as making someone's top eight friends on MySpace used to be. You know... back in the day. Hopefully, the company can keep up with teens' fickle taste in messaging apps by updating the Ringblingz app to support the newest social hotness.
Available as a ring, pendant or bracelet, Ringblingz flashes a particular color when someone in your network is trying to reach you.
Preorders start soon, and those units are expected to ship this summer, with full retail availability in the holiday season. This is definitely one to watch, and we'll have a full review once we get one on our fingers.

If you like drinking on the weekends or anytime for that matter you might want to lay off on the cigarettes. From results of a study done by researchers it seems that if you're drinking heavy amounts of alcohol you should probably steer clear of smoking cigarettes. The severity of your hangover seems to depend on it.
The study was done by researchers at the Centre for Alcohol and Addiction Studies at Brown University. A survey was done for around 8 weeks with students asked to keep a diary on their drinking and smoking habits. The log of drinking and smoking was analyzed by the research team and they saw some signs that point to cigarettes making hangovers worse. How many students were logging their party sessions and revealing their drinking and smoking habits? It seems the study had 113 college kids as participants doing a little more extra than just their homework. Truth be told, the study was actually part of their homework during the entire semester of their college class.
One of the Doctors behind the research study, Dr. Damaris Rohsenow said to the BBC, "At the same number of drinks, people who smoke more that day are more likely to have a hangover and have more intense hangovers." In fact not only did people experience severe and intense hangovers after drinking and smoking, they sometimes just had hangovers more often. That's right, smoking cigarettes improved the probability that you just may have a hangover altogether.
It's not the best news obviously because a lot of people like to have a cigarette while enjoying their favorite drink. In fact, Dr. Rohsenow was quoted in WebMD as saying, "People also tend to feel better when they smoke while drinking because both increase the release of dopamine." It was also discussed that when drinking people under the influence experience the sedative effect of alcohol and cigarettes can counteract that.
If you're thinking you'll just cut out the cigarettes on the night you plan to drink, don't start making plans so fast. It seems that from the study the researchers found that smoking a day before the drinking episode also created the potential for severe hangovers. The final piece of advice was left that if you want to avoid hangovers to drink soft drinks in between drinks and avoid dark drinks which have a higher probability for creating hangovers. For more information on this study the entire results and data are in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.
With studies and research there is always one thing to keep in mind, it's always just data and correlations. You can't assume that smoking cigarettes will positively give you worse hangovers but the data shows it's very possible. As stated in some of the interviews with the Doctors in these studies, it could be something else, like the diet of the college students. It's definitely something to think about however and if it improves your health by getting you to smoke less, it's better anyway!


This article is written by Cary Cartter, a personal and longtime friend. Cary is a very knowledgeable gun hand, a former Marine and one of our Admins, and has stuck by me through thick and thin for quite a few years now.
The latest attempt at control of what they want to be "their subjects" by the politicians with a totalitarian bent are the so-called "Red Flag Laws." Specifically, these left-leaning people want to remove firearms from otherwise innocent persons without due process. I look at laws of this type as Slippery Slope propositions, since they often make it easier to erode the rights of the citizens, since a step has already been taken in that direction.
Let me make one thing clear up front: The Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights says "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." I take that to mean that the individual right to keep and bear arms is not to be stopped, slowed down, reduced, prohibited, or prevented in any way, shape or form. ANY law that restricts the sale or transfer of a firearm (or any related item, including but not limited to ammunition, magazines, accessories, or components thereof) from one person to another without government control is an infringement on the Second Amendment Right of all citizens.
Now, I will be the first to admit that no, I don't want a bunch of crazy people running around with guns. I'll get back to that in a minute. What I DO want is for the individual to be able to decide whether or not they have the mental capacity and mental strength to arm themselves in case they need to defend themselves or others. There is no government agency, at any level, that has the authority to assume administrative control of this (or any!) enumerated right.
Supporting or advocating for the removal of firearms because of a complaint about someone's mental state is a step on a very slippery slope. The method of reporting, the authority and response of law enforcement agencies, the anonymity of the reporting party and the procedures to be followed vary from instance to instance, proposed law to proposed law (in some cases, enacted laws). Typically, John Doe can be reported by Jane Public to be a threat to his own or someone else's safety. Law Enforcement is then directed to act on the anonymous tip, **seize any weapons in the possession of John Doe** and take Mr. Doe into protective custody, all without Mr. Doe having committed any crime. Sounds like the plot from Minority Report, doesn't it?
-Who is Jane Public? Is she an expert on psychological issues? Has she studied the causes and effects of mental illnesses long enough to be able to spot a crime before it has happened? Or is she simply the disgruntled former romantic partner of John Doe, and bent on revenge in any way, shape, or form?
I imagine there are a fair number of divorces in this country that have had less-than-amicable results, where one person has wished for some way to "get back" at the other. A claim of suspected danger from the ex is a perfect way to put them through the wringer without getting your own hands wet.
The phrase "weapons" can be widely interpreted – knives, baseball bats, bare hands, any number of items that can be used to inflict bodily damage on another person – and unless a government entity has been demanding to know (assuming authority over a right) what weapons are owned by which people, how is a list of firearms and/or weapons owned by John Doe going to be made?
None of these conditions are met in the above scenario, since no crime has been committed, only the "feeling" that something is wrong. Jane does not have to support the reasons for the warrant, either to the judge or John. John has no opportunity to confront the complainant in order to know the nature of the charges being used to deny him his Second and Fourth amendment rights.
Now, mental acuity: unless a person has been evaluated by psychological medical experts, there is no laymen's method to determine the mental state of an individual. Oh, I'm sure you can tell when someone's cheese has slid off their cracker, but unless an evaluation has been done there is no legal standing of that person's mental state. The left, with their propensity to be "progressive" and "caring" and "inclusive", has managed to outlaw having someone called crazy enough to warrant evaluation. It is considered impolitic to call up the Sheriff and say "Bubba done stepped over the line, he needs looked at." Unless, of course, Bubba happens to own a firearm, then we go back to step one of the Red Flag Law.
Why are firearms the first item to be confiscated?
Because the Left has deemed them to be Not Good for the Public Safety.
The Left has decided that "they" (amorphous and anonymous) need to be in charge of telling the rest of us what is good for our own good. The Left should be allowed to make the rules as they go along, not following the same rules in their own life (see: celebrities and politicians who advocate for gun control and against border walls from within their walled compounds surrounded by armed guards).
Once it has been established that the Fourth amendment can be ignored in the quest to disabuse the people from exercising their Second Amendment, and the ability to prevent government from becoming a dictatorial body without fear of reprisal from the governed, then the rest of the amendments (and, by sequence, the entire constitution) can be removed from our grasps and done away with at their leisure.
The state of California is an example of the erosion of rights, and the slippery slope they are on. There are those who claim that a bloodbath will ensue anytime the already unconstitutional gun laws in place are either tightened or loosened; the ones against gun control will point to places within our country where tight gun control (meaning only the law-abiding will follow the law) has resulted in higher murder rates and other places within our country where relaxing the restrictions has resulted in lower overall crime rates; while those who favor control (not just of guns!) point to those same places and falsify claims about the same crimes.
A process to ensure the safety of all is needed, yes – but removing the ability of one to defend one's self, either legally or physically, should not be the first step, and it certainly should not be done anonymously with no responsibility of the accusing party.

SG-1 Season Five
Summary | Production | Review
SG-1 encounters a young woman with the ability to control Replicators, and who may hold the key to the salvation of the Asgard.
DVD DISC: Season 5, Disc 5
STORY BY: James Tichenor
TELEPLAY BY: Peter DeLuise
DIRECTED BY: Martin Wood
Danielle Nicolet (Reese), Gary Jones (Technician), Teryl Rothery (Dr. Janet Fraiser), Colin Lawrence (SG-3 Leader), Tracy Westerholm (SF #1), Biski Gugushe (SF #2), Kyle Riefsnyder (SF #3), Dan Shea (Sgt. Siler)
SG-1 arrives on a desolate world, once the home of a technologically advanced race that was annihilated. Faint energy readings lead them to a structure, where they find an advanced android perfectly preserved — unharmed from the destruction that ravaged the world around her.
The team obtains permission to take the android — a beautiful young woman — back to the S.G.C. on Earth. Major Samantha Carter studies it, and approaches General Hammond after deciding that she can reactivate its power cells and turn it on. Hammond approves; they may be able to learn more about it, and what happened to its planet.
When the robot regains consciousness, she is frightened. SG-1 tells her that her planet was wiped out, and that they found her and brought her to Earth. She tells them that her name is Reese, and that she doesn't know what happened. A danger came to her planet, and her father told her to go to sleep.
Reese takes a liking to Daniel Jackson, who petitions Colonel Jack O'Neill for Reese's rights as a living being. She may even possess a human consciousness, transferred into a cybernetic body — as happened once with SG-1 themselves ("Tin Man"). Dr. Jackson talks with Reese about what she remembers, but doesn't learn much. Reese herself is impatient, and wants to see Earth and have fun. Although she was made in the image of a young woman, she has the maturity of a child.
O'Neill returns to the planet with another S.G. team to search for more clues, and comes up with a disturbing hint about the planet's fate: Replicator blocks. It's the first evidence of the presence of the robotic, insect-like creatures in our galaxy ("Nemesis".
The team wants answers, and decides that it's time to confront Reese about her true nature. She doesn't know that she's a machine, and Daniel tries to convince her that she is. She doesn't take the news well, refusing to believe Jackson — and throwing him across the room.
Jackson tries to talk to her again after a few stitches. She tells him that she's made something for him, so that they can have fun. It's a toy, she says — and a Replicator crawls out from behind a shelf and onto her arm.
Reese created the Replicators. The nanotechnology within her body can reorganize matter on a molecular level, turning an ordinary object — like a pair of scissors — into Replicator blocks.
The Replicator is quarantined, and the base is immediately sealed off. SG-1 tries to tell Reese that the Replicators have killed millions of people and have become a plague stretching across galaxies — but she doesn't believe them. They are just her toys. She believes that they hate her and, like the people of her world, think her father made her wrong.
It doesn't take long for Reese to escape custody, as she made enough blocks for more than just the one Replicator. Those continued to replicate, unbeknownst to the S.G.C., until hundreds of the mechanical spiders roamed the facility. Reese has the power to control them with her thoughts, and she feels pain when they are destroyed.
O'Neill and Hammond lead the fight against the invaders, who quickly take over the base computer system. Reese enters the Gate room, waiting for her Replicators to crack the computer system's code and dial the Stargate. Daniel goes in to talk to her, but refuses to open the Stargate for her.
Hammond and Carter set the base's auto-destruct system, and Daniel pleads with Reese not to let the same thing that happened on her planet happen on Earth.
He learns that, years ago, Reese taught her toys how to make more of themselves and how to protect themselves and her. The people of her world believed her father — her creator — had built her wrong, and wanted to destroy her. But soon, she lost control of the Replicators when they became too numerous. They wiped out her world and killed her father, and there was nothing she could do about it. Then, they left — and, alone, Reese went to sleep.
Daniel convinces her that he doesn't want to destroy her, and that he wants to be her friend. But when he tries to deactivate her, Reese catches him and twists his arm. As Colonel O'Neill burns through the door to the Gate room and the rest of the team continues to destroy Replicators, Daniel confronts her. "Your father made you wrong!" he shouts. He begs her not to let Earth be destroyed — to shut down the Replicators and herself before she loses control again. They may even find a way to fix her.
Before her answer comes, O'Neill bursts through the door and fires. Reese is filled with bullets, and goes down. She turns to look at Daniel, and the Replicators deactivate and fall to pieces. The self-destruct is deactivated, and so is Reese.
Daniel can't believe what Jack has done — possibly destroying their only chance to beat the Replicators and save the Asgard's entire galaxy. "You stupid son of a bitch," Daniel says to him.
"I liked the character of Reese a lot and thought the actress who played her did an amazing job. I would definitely like to see her again — but so far there are no plans in place to revisit her. Then again, it's still very early." (Writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a 2002 chat with the Sam/Jack Horsewomen)
"Danielle Nicolet, who guested as Reese in this episode, delivered such a terrific performance that I started trying to think of a way to bring the character back almost immediately after killing her off. Hey, it happens. Given the events in New York, most flights were grounded and she unable to fly back to L.A. As a result, she ended up having to stay in town a few extra days. I remember treating her to dinner where the topic of conversation ranged from the music business to the wonderful time she had as a recurring character on Third Rock From the Sun. Total sweetheart." (Writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)

Nestlé aims to improve the livelihoods of workers through its supply chain, and to protect labour rights. We have a number of salient labour rights issues, and are developing action plans to enable us to identify and address the root causes of those issues. Protecting children is a top priority for us, and our Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation System (CLMRS) is a major programme to address child labour and support children of farmers and workers.
By 2016: In collaboration with external partners, develop a roadmap on labour rights in agricultural supply chains, addressing salient labour rights issues (i.e. child labour, freedom of association and collective bargaining, forced labour, health and safety, living wage, workers' accommodation and basic service needs, working time) in all key commodities across sourcing countries.
We continued to roll out our CLMRS, which operates in our cocoa supply chain, throughout Côte d'Ivoire. In 2016, the CLMRS was extended to a further 29 co‑operatives, taking the total to 69. We will be closely monitoring success throughout the year and a major report about our key findings and learning points around child labour will be produced in 2017. We also expanded the system into Ghana in 2016.
New child labour audits were carried out in our sugar and seafood supply chains. We also began a farm assessment programme in our cereals supply chain; results will be available next year.
An increase in the number of children working in the hazelnut harvest has been identified, possibly due to increasing numbers of Syrian refugees moving into Turkey. Remedial activities included taking children out of the supply chain and into education. We continue to work with key partners to address these issues.
In our vanilla supply chain in Madagascar, we engaged with a second supplier, Mané, to increase our child labour remediation activities on the ground.
The issue of migrant workers and its effects on child labour became particularly apparent in 2016, with a sharp increase in migrant workers from Syria and southern Africa. By understanding how workers from these and other countries are being recruited, we can gain a better understanding of the root causes of child labour.
From the audits carried out, we also realised that the audit system was no longer adequate to address the root causes. We are now working with the Fair Labor Association (FLA) to identify and implement new ways of working that will be more effective in enabling us to address these causes.
By 2018: Start reporting on the number of workers in agricultural supply chains having benefitted from our interventions on select salient labour rights issues.
By 2020: Start reporting on the number of workers in agricultural supply chains having benefitted from our interventions on all salient labour rights issues.

Adding a deck to your home creates a beautiful outdoor living space where you can relax and enjoy time with your family and friends. Whether you spend fun-filled evenings barbecuing with your family or simply want to lounge in the sunshine with a good book, a deck can add value and versatility to your home by effectively increasing its usable space.
Having the right tools on hand can make the process of building a deck far easier. Most decking projects require just a few basic tools. However, there are other optional tools that you can use to make the project easier and to get more professional results. The following section takes a closer look at the most essential tools that you need to build a deck. It also provides information on optional tools that you may want to rent or buy to get the best possible results.
1. A circular saw. These handheld saws make quick work of cutting through lumber. They can be used to make both straight cuts and angled cuts, making them a versatile tool to have on hand for any building project. Most experts recommend going with a saw that has a 7-1/4 inch blade. These saws are large enough to cut through most boards with ease. Use a carbide-tipped blade to get clean cuts without rough edges.
2. A jigsaw. Jigsaws provide a lot of versatility when it comes to cutting curves or sharp angles. Depending on the design of your deck, you will most likely run into some non-standard cuts. Having one of these saws available will help ensure that you can make any type of cut you need to during the building process.
3. A drill. A good drill is essential for decking projects. Every single board on the deck needs to be screwed down with multiple screws. This adds up to a lot of drilling. Because of that, you should choose a high-powered, reliable drill that is lightweight and easy to use.
4. Measuring tools. Precise measurements are a must when building a deck. Along with a standard tape measure, you should also consider investing in a carpenter's square.
5. A shovel or post hole digger. In most areas of the country, the posts that hold up the deck need to be attached to concrete footings that extend below the frost line in order to comply with building codes. These holes can usually be dug by hand using a shovel or post hole digger. To make the project easier, however, you may want to look into renting a power auger.
6. Assorted hand tools. A chalk box for making chalk lines, a level, clamps, pliers, a hammer, a hand saw and an adjustable wrench can also come in handy while working on your deck.
1. A miter saw. These saws, which are also sometimes called chop saws, excel at cutting precise angles. They can be useful for cutting railings or other boards that meet at an angle.
2. A small concrete mixer. Depending on the number of post holes that you have to fill, renting a concrete mixer can make the process far easier than trying to mix all of the concrete by hand.
3. A hand sander or random orbit sander. Sanding out any rough areas on the surface of the deck before you stain or paint it can help give a more professional finish.
Having the right tools available can make the deck building process go smoothly and the finished result one you are proud of. Also, keep in mind that renting tools is always an option since it allows you to avoid spending a lot of money on power tools that you may only use once or twice.
