Hung meets with former KMT leaders
October 20, 2016 taiwanwireservice.com Medical
The leader of the opposition Kuomintang (KMT), Hung Hsiu-chu, has met with four of her predecessors to discuss issues facing the party. On Thursday morning, Hung and the former party heads talked about the state of party finances and a new government committee investigating the party's assets.
KMT Secretary-General Mo Tien-hu, who was also at the meeting, said some of the former party chairs said they would help with fundraising and contribute money themselves. Mo said another former chair also suggested raising party membership dues.
The former KMT leaders also discussed the issue of party assets. Under a law passed in July, all assets obtained by political parties after 1945 are to be considered illegal and must be returned to the state. This does not include party membership fees and political donations. The law is considered a measure of transitional justice to address lingering historical issues from the time the KMT ruled Taiwan as a one-party state. A government committee charged with handling party assets began work at the end of August.
The KMT has opposed the law on party assets, which it has called unconstitutional. Former KMT chair Lien Chan reportedly suggested launching peaceful protests against the new law. Former president Ma Ying-jeou called on the party to hold press conferences and write to the media about the issue of party assets.
The former KMT leaders did not discuss Chair Hung Hsiu-chu's upcoming visit to Beijing, where she is expected to meet the head of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping. At a meeting of the KMT Central Standing Committee on Wednesday, Hung said she will leave room for flexibility when talking with Chinese officials during her trip.
Asked to comment on the state of the KMT's finances on Thursday afternoon, Presidential Office spokesperson Alex Huang said that no political party in a democratic country should have assets beyond party membership dues and donations. Huang said that the ruling Democratic Progressive Party has been able to stage a comeback from a period of financial difficulties by soliciting small contributions. Huang said this system shores up the party's finances and offers donors another way to participate in politics.

On August 15, 2014, a three judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit or Court) unanimously denied the appeals of forty-five petitioners and sixteen intervenors, upholding the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Order No. 1000. South Carolina Public Service Authority v. FERC, Nos. 12-1232 et al. (D.C. Cir. Aug. 15, 2014). FERC's landmark rulemaking, issued in August 2011 and supplemented thereafter by Order Nos. 1000-A and 1000-B, implemented a series of significant reforms related to the regional and interregional planning and development of electric transmission facilities, including mandatory cost allocation to beneficiaries of new transmission projects and the elimination of rights of first refusal (ROFRs) from FERC-jurisdictional tariffs and agreements (Order No. 1000 or Final Rule). The D.C. Circuit's much-anticipated decision held that FERC acted within the scope of its authority under the Federal Power Act (FPA) when it adopted Order No. 1000, and that the Final Rule was not arbitrary and capricious or unsupported by substantial evidence. The Court's decision sets the stage for possible future appeals to the Supreme Court and additional contested proceedings at FERC as the regions continue to implement Order No. 1000's controversial regional planning and cost allocation reforms.
Regional Planning: Public utility transmission providers are required to participate in a regional transmission planning process that produces a regional plan for the development of new, regional transmission facilities, and which includes procedures to identify transmission needs driven by public policy requirements.
Interregional Planning: Adjacent planning regions must establish procedures to share planning data and identify more efficient interregional solutions to transmission needs.
Non-Incumbent Reforms: Transmission providers are required to remove from FERC-jurisdictional tariffs and agreements any provisions that give incumbent transmission providers a right of first refusal to construct new regional transmission facilities. The regional planning processes implemented by transmission providers must also be open and non-discriminatory, and establish clear criteria for the identification of regional projects and for developer selection.
FPA Section 206 authorizes FERC to require transmission providers to participate in a regional planning process. FERC reasonably concluded that transmission planning is a "practice" that affects transmission rates within the meaning of FPA Section 206. Further, FPA Section 202 does not restrict FERC from promoting and encouraging voluntary transmission interconnection and coordination because FPA Section 202 covers operational coordination, not planning prior to operation.
There was substantial evidence of a theoretical threat of unjust and unreasonable rates for transmission service in the absence of Order No. 1000's regional planning reforms to support adoption of the Final Rule. FERC's determination of the necessity of transmission planning reform was not based on guesswork, but was supported by prior Commission proceedings (including Order No. 890) and comments from the Department of Energy, industry consultants, and FERC technical conferences. FERC satisfied its evidentiary burden because it is allowed to rely on such reasonable past evidence to support this rulemaking.
FERC had the authority under FPA Section 206 to require removal of ROFRs from FERC-jurisdictional tariffs and agreements upon finding such provisions to be unjust and unreasonable practices affecting rates, and that determination was supported by substantial evidence and was not arbitrary and capricious. FERC reasonably concluded that ROFRs posed a competitive barrier to entry that made the transmission market inefficient and increased costs for transmission customers. The inclusion of ROFRs in tariffs and agreements is a practice affecting a rate; therefore, FERC is authorized to regulate ROFRs to the extent it finds them unjust and unreasonable. The Court also declined to evaluate whether and how the Mobile-Sierra doctrine (i.e., the presumption that freely-negotiated contracts are just and reasonable unless found to seriously harm the public interest) will ultimately apply to particular contracts. The Court found the issue not ripe because FERC has already deferred its analysis of contract-specific ROFRs to future orders on Order No. 1000 compliance filings.
FERC reasonably determined that regional planning must include consideration of transmission needs driven by public policy requirements. FERC's requirement to consider public policy in transmission planning bears directly on the provision of transmission service and is not too vague because the mandate merely requires regions to establish processes for identifying and evaluating public policies that might affect transmission needs. Regions may choose their own manner of determining how best to identify and accommodate such policies and such broad discretion does not make the mandate vague.
FERC reasonably relied upon the reciprocity condition to encourage non-public utility transmission providers to participate in a regional planning process. The Court found the reciprocity condition in Order No. 1000 to be fundamentally the same as that in Order Nos. 888 and 890, except broadened from transmission service to also include transmission planning and cost allocation. FERC provided a reasoned and adequate basis for this expansion and was not arbitrary or capricious in deciding to stop at a conditional rather than a categorical requirement for non-public utilities. Finally, FPA Section 211A does not require FERC to mandate non-public utility participation in planning and cost allocation, and FERC reasonably declined to employ its Section 211A authority to adopt such a mandate in favor of Order No. 1000's incremental and incentive-based approach.
Overall, the D.C. Circuit's opinion is a carefully written legal analysis that upholds Order No. 1000 without blessing or expanding its policy objectives. The Court's holding sustaining Order No. 1000's policy on allocation of transmission expansion costs to beneficiaries is likely to be the most discussed facet of the opinion.
The cost allocation holding is legally significant both for what it may have done, and for what it did not do. The Court held that the language and context of FPA Section 206 does not limit FERC's authority to oversight of practices involving prior commercial relationships. Petitioners argued that Section 206 precluded the Commission from allocating costs "beyond pre-existing commercial relationships." Yet, the Court found that "Section 206 empowers the commission to fix any 'practice' affecting rates, and the Commission reasonably understood beneficiary-based cost allocation – or its absence – to be a practice affecting rates." Thus, the Court held that the "use of 'any' to describe 'rate,' 'public utility,' and 'transmission' bestows authority on the Commission that is not cabined to pre-exiting commercial relationships of any given utility." This reasoning could expand the scope of activities potentially subject to FERC oversight under FPA Section 206.
FERC was explicit in the Final Rule to distinguish between transmission cost allocation and transmission cost recovery, and the Court picked up on this distinction, emphasizing that Order No. 1000's reforms "do not require any utility to pay any cost or define the mechanism for doing so." While this distinction may have enabled Order No. 1000's cost allocation provisions to survive judicial review, it remains to be seen what significance a cost allocation decision will have in the absence of a contractual or tariff-based cost-recovery mechanism. Within the footprints of the existing RTOs and ISOs, developers may construct projects identified in the regional transmission plan and the RTO or ISO Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) provides a mechanism to recover costs from identified beneficiaries. Outside the RTOs and ISOs, construction decisions and cost recovery mechanisms are not as straightforward.
Moving forward, it may be expected that one or more petitioners will petition the Supreme Court for certiorari. Notwithstanding any such appeal, the transmission planning regions and stakeholders will continue to implement the Final Rule's reforms, which has the potential to spur further litigation.

IN FULL: Celtic explain 'no to newco' vote
By scotzine on	 July 4, 2012 Celtic, Premiership, Rangers
Celtic were one of ten SPL clubs who voted to deny Rangers newco entry into the Scottish top flight.
The statement read as follows:
CELTIC Football Club today confirmed that it opposed re-admission to the Scottish Premier League by Rangers newco.
Today´s decision to refuse access into the SPL was an overwhelming one and demonstrates the depth of feeling amongst everyone involved in Scottish football.
Fundamentally, the Celtic Board has also been very mindful of the need to take what it believes to be the correct course of action in protecting the integrity of the game in Scotland
The matter is now within the jurisdiction of the Scottish Football Association and it will be for the SFA to decide on the future of Rangers newco.
Throughout the whole sequence of events leading up to today's decision the Celtic Board has been of the singular view that the integrity of the game in Scotland is of paramount importance. Our only other consideration has been to protect the interests and right of the Club and our supporters.
Whilst the financial implications of today's vote for Celtic and for the Scottish game as a whole will be very significant, we have already stated that Celtic has a business plan and strategy independent of any other club.
Our supporters can rest assured that we will continue to fight to protect Celtic's best interests within the Scottish game.
In addition, we will be working with our other fellow SPL clubs in the days and weeks ahead to take all possible steps to maximise commercial returns, which remain crucial in these economically-challenging circumstances. We will also play an active role in mapping the future of Scottish football.
The fans are the lifeblood of the game and we know how strongly our supporters, and those of other clubs, felt about this issue.
We are confident that Celtic's fans, together with the supporters of all the SPL clubs, will now play a major role in rallying behind their clubs to ensure that Scottish football emerges stronger from this episode.
During Celtic's long and illustrious 125-year history, there have been periods of difficulty. At these times, our supporters have always stood shoulder to shoulder with the Club. We need our supporters to be with us now, more than ever.
We know our own supporters will be acutely aware of the significant challenges that lie ahead. We enter next season as Champions of Scotland and look ahead to retaining our title and to making an impact in a European context. We know how difficult this will be and we call on our supporters to join us in tackling these challenges, to take their place at Celtic Park, to invest in the Club and to continue to give us the kind of support for which they are renowned.

BOSTON – The Suffolk baseball team returns to action this weekend as it stops by Wheaton Friday, March 25, before visiting Rhode Island College for a doubleheader the following day.
The Suffolk baseball team defeated Keen State, 6-4, Saturday afternoon as part of the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational. With the victory, Suffolk wraps up the annual spring trip with victories in eight of 10 contests.
Sitting at 8-3 after its Florida trip, the Rams are prepped for play in New England. Suffolk has managed to keep things close late in ballgames, with its biggest defeat coming by three runs.
A trio of Rams have started in the field in all 11 games this season, each of whom bring a fair amount of production at the plate as well. Jon Lapolla (.444/.600/.449) at first and catcher, Brady Chant (.396/.646/.444) in center and Drew Carter (.375/.500/.457) at third have all seen every game for Suffolk. Lapolla's bat has plated a team-high 16 RBI off a team-best 20 hits and scored 12 times himself. Chant has brought home 12 runs on 19 hits, four of which were triples, with Carter tallying 11 RBIs. In five appearances, Zach Grogan paces the Rams with his .667 batting average, with Kevin Belskie putting together a .462 clip in eight appearances.
On the bump, the Rams feature a deadly handful of starters in sophomore Worth Walrod (2-0, 0.00 ERA), junior Chuck Gibson (1-0, 2.08 ERA), freshman Kevin Sinatra (2-0, 3.60 ERA), senior Kyle Turner (1-1, 4.82 ERA), sophomore Ryan Pordes (0-2, 6.75 ERA) and junior Tim Conroy (1-0, 7.50 ERA). In two appearances and starts, Sinatra and Walrod each have earned 2.0 records. Turner and Walrod are one-twin in strikeouts this season for the Rams hurlers, punching out 18 and 17, respectively.
Senior co-captain Jon Lapolla's two-out, RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted Suffolk past Montclair State, 4-3, in a walk-off win. The Rams had two walk-off victory in 2015, with the most important coming in the 13th inning over the GNAC Championship game.
Last season Suffolk stole 54 bases all year, but in just its first 11 games, the Rams have successfully stolen 30 bags and have been caught in the act just three times. On the flip side, Suffolk opponents have just 11 steals in 13 attempts.
It's early yet in the season, just 11 games into the new campaign, but 10 Rams batters are swinging the bat well, hitting .375 or better: Kevin Belskie (.462), Drew Carter (.375), Brady Chant (.396), Seth Coiley (.406), Jake Frasca (.375), Zach Grogan (.667), Jon Lapolla (.444), Rob Marks (.417), BJ Neil (.444) and Julien Plana (.444).
Suffolk players have picked up a third of the conference's six weekly awards just two weeks into the season with Worth Walrod picking up back-to-back pitcher of the week nods and Jon Lapolla earning player of the week recognition March 21.
Similar to Suffolk, Wheaton got its season going at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational last week where the Lyons went 7-3. Matt Lavanchy leads the way for Wheaton, hitting .439 with 18 hits, including five doubles and two triples, with a team-best eight RBI. Justin Silvestro (.372) and Joshua LaJoie (.25) have also brought in eight runs each.
Rhode Island opened its slate at the Winter Haven Invitational and has since played three games in New England to bring its season mark to 6-7-1 overall. Brad Douglas leads the Anchorman, producing a .447 average at the plate with team-best in hits (21) and RBI (16). Austin Barry is the only other RIC player producing a .300 batting number with .306 to go along with six RBI.
A busy week is in store for the Rams, who have six games on the schedule. First Suffolk will open the home portion of its schedule Monday afternoon against MIT at 4 p.m.

To produce the series of works collectively titled "Factum" (2010), Candice Breitz conducted intensive interviews with seven pairs of identical twins and a single set of identical triplets in and around Toronto during the summer of 2009, footage from which she then edited seven dual-channel video installations (and one tri-channel video installation).
Breitz chose to work with monozygotic twins (and triplets) who spent their formative lives together and who thus draw on shared memories and experience. Each pair of twins was filmed over the course of one long day in a domestic environment designated by the twins – most chose to shoot in the home of one twin, or in their shared home. In each case, Breitz interviewed Twin A for approximately 5–7 hours in the absence of his/her sibling and then directed the same set of questions separately to Twin B. Designed to give each individual the opportunity to narrate his/her own story as s/he chose, the questions covered intimate areas such as childhood, sibling rivalry and family matters, but also zoomed out to allow each subject to address his/her relationship to the world at large. Each pair of interviews was later woven together in the editing studio to create a somewhat stereoscopic dual-channel portrait. As the twins relate their stories, sharp distinctions in their voices, their attitudes, their body language, and their views on the world become apparent. Breitz's presence is strongly tangible in each twin portrait – her jagged editing style distances the works from the truth claims of conventional documentary, suggesting that the intertwining forces of fact and fiction are always at play in auto/biography.
Candice Breitz, born in 1972 in Johannesburg, is best known for her moving image installations. Throughout her career, she has explored the dynamics by means of which an individual becomes him or herself in relation to a larger community, be that community the immediate community that one encounters in family, or the real and imagined communities that are shaped not only by questions of national belonging, race, gender and religion, but also by the increasingly undeniable influence of mainstream media such as television, cinema and popular culture. Most recently, Breitz's work has focused on the conditions under which empathy is produced, reflecting on a media-saturated global culture in which strong identification with fictional characters and celebrity figures runs parallel to widespread indifference to the plight of those facing real world adversities. Candice Breitz is based in Berlin and, since 2007, holds a professorship for fine arts at the Braunschweig University of Art (HBK). Solo exhibitions of Breitz's work have been hosted by the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Kunsthaus Bregenz, Palais de Tokyo (Paris), The Power Plant (Toronto), Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebæk), De Appel Foundation (Amsterdam), Moderna Museet (Stockholm), Castello di Rivoli (Turin) and many others. Next to various group exhibitions Breitz has participated in biennales in Johannesburg (1997), São Paulo (1998), Istanbul (1999), Taipei (2000), Kwangju (2000), Tirana (2001), Venice (2005), New Orleans (2008), Göteborg (2003 + 2009), Singapore (2011) and Dakar (2014). She was invited to the South African Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale (2017).

Pride Brings Home Gold
Carley Weinstein
Hofstra University's Cheer and Dance teams brought home the gold in several categories in the 2018 Universal Cheerleaders Association and Universal Dance Association College National Championship in Orlando, FL, including a sixth world victory for Cheer and third consecutive national title for Dance.
"The energy this team showed on the competition floor was full of Pride," said Christine Farina, Cheer Head Coach. The team also placed fourth in the national competition.
Dance's national title came in the Division 1 Pom category and was the team's sixth overall national victory. They also placed third in Division 1 Jazz and received Gold in Performance Cheer in the World University category.
"We exceeded all of our expectations," said Kelly Olsen-Leon, Dance Head Coach. "Winning the national title and making program history with our first three-peat proves that anything can happen with hard work, heart, and determination."
Hofstra Cheer currently holds 10 national championship titles and six world victories. In addition to the Dance Team's six national titles, the group was selected to be the U.S. National Team in the 2016 International World Dance Competition, where they took home the gold. Both teams also earned first place at the 2017 International Cheer Union (ICU) Pan-American Cheerleading Competition in Cali, Colombia.

University set to draw on "slave labour" in major Dubai campus expansion
In October the University Council approved plans for a major project expansion of the University of Birmingham Dubai campus dubbed "phase 2", which is set to see student numbers rise to 2,900 by September 2021, and to a full capacity of 4,500. This will involve the construction of a new purpose built facility by Tecom, a subsidiary company of Dubai Holding LLC, which is itself majority owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Ruler of Dubai, in a reported £100m deal.
According to their websites Dubai Holding are responsible for major domestic infrastructure projects and netted a total 6.32bn Dirhams (roughly £1.3bn) in profits, while Tecom, the company constructing the University of Birmingham's new campus, employs over 86,000 people [1] [2].
But while the University and their partners bring in record profits they remain silent on the treatment of the thousands of migrant workers set to be employed on the project. Human Rights Watch and others [3] [4] [5] report the abuse, dangerous conditions, confiscation of passports and the indentured labour common place in the Dubai construction industry. Workers often face extortionate debts to recruitment agencies, which are then slowly paid down out of already desperately low wages before passports are released. Human Rights Watch also cite the scale of deaths on construction sites and the lack of medical cover or compensation for workers and their families.
In 2017 Jeena Sharma, writing in the pacific standard [6], interviews construction workers and finds that the practice of confiscating passports and entrapping workers under exploitative contracts is still common place and amounts to little more than slave labour. The Guardian [7] report that two migrant workers commit suicide in Dubai every week.
It remains unclear how this can possibly sit with the University's claims to a "global reputation", their commitments to "responsible business", or their duty to "public benefit" as set out in their charitable status.
UNISON, the campus trade union representing support staff, have long campaigned for the University to become an accredited living wage employer [8], which would, in principle, mean a real living wage being paid by all of the University's contractors. Since the expansion into Dubai all of the recognised trade unions have made it clear that we expect this to be extended to the practices of the University overseas.
The plans for expansion in Dubai have only been approved by Council in October 2018, and the contracts are yet to be signed. It is not too late for the University to rethink these plans and to ensure that the workers constructing our campus are fairly treated and properly paid. But action is needed now.

Athena Wang has joined New Zealand Sothbey International Realty's Takapuna office.
I grew up in the Chinese city of Harbin and have been living in New Zealand for about 18 years. I studied accounting and finance at Massey University and moved into real estate five years ago.
What motivated you to move into real estate?
It was actually a well-known North Shore auctioneer who approached me at a Toastmaster club we were both attending. He heard my ice-breaker speech and told me I should work in real estate due to my outgoing personality.So I did, and the rest is history!
I like to work closely and one-on-one with my clients to deliver exceptional service and that personal touch. Everyone has different needs so it's important to be a really good listener and build a good rapport with my clients.
Which areas do you specialise in and why?
I speak Chinese and English fluently so I mainly deal with people from Asia, which is a huge advantage for me personally. This is my niche market for the North Shore as my clients feel at ease when they contact me. I know a lot of people from Asia looking for luxury properties, so I add value by being able to understand what they want and who to talk to.
What's the best piece of real estate advice you give your clients?
There is never a wrong time to purchase your home.
What feedback do you receive from your clients?
That I'm really friendly and easy to talk to.
Spending time with my two-year-old daughter who keeps me on my toes. I also like to visit Australia. and try to get there at least once a year.

Die Rückrufkostenversicherung deckt in Ergänzung zur Produkthaftpflichtversicherung das Kostenrisiko der Durchführung von Produktrückrufen, also den finanziellen Rückrufschaden, den der zurückrufende Hersteller oder Händler durch die Rückrufaktion erleidet.
Unter Rückrufschäden hat man den gesetzlich geschuldete Aufwand zu verstehen, der anfällt, um anders nicht abwendbare Risiken erheblicher Personenschäden zu vermeiden.

Zum Rückruf können verpflichtet sein End- und Teilehersteller sowie EWR-Importeure von gefährlichen Produkten. Der Rückruf erfolgt durch deren Aufforderung oder Aufforderung der zuständigen Behörden an Endverbraucher, diese beliefernde Händler, Vertrags- oder sonstige Werkstätten, die gefährlichen Produkte auf die Risiko begründenden Mängel prüfen, gegebenenfalls festgestellte Mängel beseitigen oder andere namentlich benannte Maßnahmen durchführen zu lassen.
Neben dem Risiko erheblicher Personenschäden ist also erforderlich, dass sich die personengefährlichen Produkte beim Endverbraucher befinden; solange sie etwa noch im Auslieferungslager oder beim Händler sind, ist die drohende Gefahr noch nicht akut.
Es werden verschiedene Deckungskonzepte angeboten für
 Händler und Hersteller von Waren, die jedoch nicht für die Verwendung in Kfz oder Flugzeugen vorgesehen sein dürfen und
 Zulieferern von Kfz-Herstellern

Versicherungsfall
Der Versicherungsfall in der Rückrufkostenversicherung wird durch die gesetzliche Pflicht des Versicherungsnehmers zum Rückruf ausgelöst. Die gesetzliche Verpflichtung zum Rückruf kann sich aus der Pflicht zur Produktbeobachtung sowie aus behördlicher Anordnung ergeben.

Umfang des Versicherungsschutzes
Versichert sind reine Vermögensschäden des Versicherungsnehmers durch den Rückruf. Der Versicherungsschutz umfasst neben den Benachrichtigungskosten die Kosten der Überprüfung auf tatsächlich vorhandene Mängel, deren Beseitigung durch Austausch oder Reparatur der mangelhaften Erzeugnisse inklusive der dabei anfallenden Transport- und Zwischenlagerungskosten, die Kosten der Beseitigung von Erzeugnissen bzw. deren Vernichtung sowie die Kosten der Ablauf- und Erfolgskontrolle. Zu beachten ist, dass jeweils nur die günstigste versicherte Mangelbeseitigungsmaßnahme versichert ist.
Nicht versichert sind die Kosten der mangelhaften Erzeugnisse selbst.

Grenzen des Versicherungsschutzes
Die Erstattung von Personen- und Sachschäden ist nicht versichert. Der Rückruf muss zudem der Vermeidung von Personenschäden dienen. Dient der Rückruf lediglich der Vermeidung von Sachschäden, so sind die anfallenden Kosten nicht versichert.

Der Versicherungsnehmer muss den Rückruf aufgrund einer gesetzlichen Verpflichtung durchführen. Beruht der Rückruf nicht auf gesetzlicher Verpflichtung, sondern beispielsweise aufgrund einer an den Kunden abgegebenen Garantie, besteht kein Versicherungsschutz. Auch Schäden aus Rückrufen wegen behaupteter, angedrohter oder tatsächlicher mut- und böswilliger Manipulation von Erzeugnissen sind nicht versichert.

Zudem sind wie auch in der Produkthaftpflichtversicherung in der Regel Rückrufschäden durch Erzeugnisse, die nicht ausreichend nach dem Stand von Wissenschaft und Technik oder in sonstiger Weise erprobt waren, nicht versichert. Was eine ausreichende Erprobung darstellt, kann im Einzelfall strittig sein.

Kfz-Zulieferer
Für Kfz-Zulieferer besteht die Möglichkeit, im Rahmen der Rückrufkostenversicherung zusätzlich abzusichern
 Maßnahmen und Kosten im Vorfeld der Gefahrenabwehr wegen Vorfeldschäden und
 Austausch außerhalb der Gefahrenabwehr
Mit dieser zusätzlichen (fakultativen) Erweiterungsmöglichkeit wird ein schlüssiger Versicherungsschutz zur Produkthaftpflichtversicherung gewährleistet, die das Risiko der Kfz-Zulieferung ausschließt.

Good Shepherd School celebrates Catholic…
Good Shepherd School celebrates Catholic Schools Week
By Special To The Pacifica Tribune | Pacifica Tribune
Good Shepherd School will celebrate Catholic Schools Week, a national celebration of Catholic education, from Saturday, Jan. 29, through Thursday, Feb. 3. Catholic Schools Week, established in 1974, recognizes the valuable contribution that Catholic schools make to the church, community and country. It is a salute to the considerable achievement of Catholic schools — to teachers, administrators, parents and students. Most of all, it is a salute to the vision, innovation and accomplishments of the 7,100 Catholic schools in the United States and their almost 2.2 million students, as well as their teachers.
This year's theme is 'Catholic Schools: A+ for America.' This is the time each year that Good Shepherd School honors its school's excellence and highlights its mission and traditions. They take this time to reflect on the high-quality, faith-focused, values-added education that is offered and to remind the entire community of the vital contribution they make to education and the quality of life. Most of all, Catholic Schools Week is a time to celebrate. Each day, students and families will celebrate how Good Shepherd School is making a difference in their parish, community, students, volunteers and nation.
See for yourself how Catholic Schools are A+ for your children. Good Shepherd School will hold an Open House on Tuesday, Feb. 1, at 8:30 a.m. Call 359-4544 to make a reservation or to set up a time for a tour on another date.

The types of aids that you choose will depend on the task and the type of access. For example, you can use one of various access towers for any job. If you want to get to any height without too much effort, you may want to opt for podium steps that feature a telescopic design. These kinds of platforms close the gap between the use of scaffolds and ladders. Not only are they comfortable for worker use, they provide a large platform and compact storage for worker tools.
When you use this type of access tower, you are playing it safe, as this type of product often features a knee bar and guard rail for extra safety. The telescopic designs makes the podium easy to operate. You simply adjust the height, based upon a push-up ladder technique. Choose equipment that provides cross pieces on either side for additional strength. Swing-out stabilisers also add to the popularity of this type of product.
When you erect a telescopic podium, you only need to erect the tower and the guardrails and handrails instantly unfold. The product, just like many of its counterparts, features compact measurements. Therefore, you can easily transport the item and store it. Enjoy a high level of strength between the stiles and rungs, and move the items with the included wheels. The podium also comes with plastic end cups to prevent problems with slippage.
The above example is only a sampling of what you can expect when you make this type of product choice. You can also obtain access up high when you choose from one of various ladder styles. Ladders are featured for roofers, surveyors, and for multi-purpose use. You can also buy warehouse steps for your production facility and staging boards for ease of access and convenience.
According to statistics, falls from heights are the major reasons for injury at worksites. That is why you need to make sure that you are well-equipped. By using the proper equipment – equipment that offers stability and a premium design, you can get any task accomplished at a height safely and on time.
Once you find what you are seeking, take a look at the dimensions and special features. Make sure that the product you select can be easily erected and transported and stored. It should also feature stabilisers and guardrails for additional protection. Do not take any chances in this regard. The better the features, the safer you workforce will be.
If you want to reduce the risk of liability in the workplace, it is essential that you choose the right height-and-access tools. By working with a provider of access solutions, you have a wider range of options from which to select. Go online today, and survey the offerings.

1 Harbor Blvd. - Camden
Aladdin. New Amsterdam Theatre (see Broadway). Music by Alan Menken. Lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. Book and additional lyrics by Chad Beguelin. Directed by Casey Nicholaw. With Adam Jacobs, James Monroe Iglehart, Courtney Reed. Running time: 2hrs 20mins. One intermission.
Aladdin: In brief
Disney unveils its latest cartoon-to-musical project: the tale of a boy, an uncorked spirit and an aerodynamic rug. Composer Alan Menken adds new tunes to the 1992 original soundtrack, and Chad Beguelin provides a fresh book. Reputed highlights include James Monroe Iglehart's bouncy Genie and the flying-carpet F/X.
Aladdin: Theater review by Adam Feldman
What do we wish for in a Disney musical? It is unrealistic to expect aesthetic triumph on par with The Lion King, but neither need we settle for blobs of empty action like Tarzan or The Little Mermaid. The latest in the toon-tuner line, Aladdin, falls between those poles; nearer in style (though inferior in stakes) to Disney's first effort, Beauty and the Beast, the show is a tricked-out, tourist-family-friendly theme-park attraction, decorated this time in the billowing fabrics of orientalist Arabian fantasy. "It's barbaric, but hey, it's home," sings the genial Genie (a game, charismatic Iglehart) in the opening song, and that's the tone of Aladdin as a whole: kid-Oriented.
As in the 1992 film, the Genie steals the show from its eponymous "street rat" hero (Jacobs, white teeth and tan chest agleam). The musical's high point is the hard-sell "Friend Like Me," in which the fourth-wall-breaking spirit summons wave upon wave of razzle-dazzle to demonstrate the scope of his power. (The number matches the rococo cornucopia of the New Amsterdam Theatre.) Granted three wishes for freeing the Genie from a lamp, Aladdin uses the first to become the extravagant Prince Ali, a potentate worthy of the Sultan's spunky daughter, Jasmine (Reed); later he takes her for a ride on a flying carpet that more closely resembles a flying Craftmatic adjustable bed.
Aside from the tonic of Iglehart's djinn, however, Aladdin is short on magic. Director Casey Nicholaw fills the stage with activity, and Jonathan Freeman and Don Darryl Rivera offer ripe turns as a villainous vizier and his squawking sidekick. But the plotting drifts into weightless silliness, with a surfeit of generic padding and glitz. There's the rub: The musical is called Aladdin, but seems content to be Prince Ali.—Theater review by Adam Feldman

Another year, another set of costumes! Troy as a Human Fly Swatter and I as some sort of Fairy Princess. Though I'm not always in shape for this event, especially after slacking on the training after IM Tahoe, it's still a fun thing to look forward to!
We line up on the street in front of the shop. Ready, set, go! I'm amazed watching Troy take off in his very bulky costume. I don't know how he does it!
Within the first mile, I loose sight of the top pack of runners. Go Troy, go! Mile 1 is 8:57. I miss having my racing legs. These legs feel heavy!
We hit the trail and the field has really spread out. I'm close to Tuesday Track veteran Dave Carder. He's running with his dog Zoey. Zoey is just all over the place checking things out but she also finds a way to catch back up again.
Mile 2 is 8:29. It's a downhill mostly but I still feel winded. Dave starts to fall back to keep Zoey with him.
Mile 3 is 8:38. I'm alone at the moment which makes it harder to push. I still have 3 more miles, ugh!
Mile 4 is 8:26. Dave is catching back up. I can hear him calling Zoey and I can hear the clinking on her collar.
Jay Garrard is taking my picture so I say "Bippity, Boppity, Boo! Troy put my bike right in front and I almost miss it.
This part of the event is for sure my least favorite. I do not consider myself a mtn. biker mostly because of lack of experience and great fear of falling off a cliff. I struggle to get to the climb because of this fear. I let a rider go by and he's gone in an instant.
Finally I make it to the climb and for a moment am relieved. It's nice not to have to dodge obstacles but it's not fun climbing. Troy and I pre-rode the course yesterday. Though it was needed practice, the timing of it the day before the event wasn't so great.
I reach the Culvert Trail finally! Lord, please protect me! They have really made this course nice! I actually feel comfortable on 90% of it now because it's smoother. I find myself smiling inside and enjoying the ride.
Towards the end of the trail it gets rocky and technical. I walk 2 small sections but am still proud of how I rode.
I cross over Old Foresthill Road and over to the Mammoth Bar trail. This trail I dread! Not only is it covered in many spots with jagged rocks, it goes along a cliff! I do well for the first third and then it gets ugly. I walk several spots even sections I rode the day before. The fear is starting to overtake me…but I manage to make it to the bottom.
There is Jay to take my picture. I smile…mostly in relief and thanksgiving to Jesus for me being in one piece!
Time to climb Stage Coach. This should be fine, just a constant grind. On my way up the trail it gets really rocky and there is a walker right there. I stop and start running with my bike. I never have to do that here! I pass the guy and try to start up again on the hill…come on, you can do this! I 'm able to start up. Thank you Jesus!
The rest of the climb is uneventful. I'm wiped out as usual but very glad to have one of my few mtn. bike rides of the year done! Thank you Jesus! Another fun year!

It is official; March 2012 will go down as the warmest March for the contiguous United States since weather recording began.
All of the lower 48 states recorded temperatures that saw at least one record high temperature, while many states broke hundreds. In a statement by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) this week, a total of 15,000 records had been broken.
This year's March was also part of an above average winter. The first three months of 2012 had an overall temperature that was 3.3 Celsius higher than the norm.
Many winter-based industries suffered this year thanks to the lack of snow and colder weather. Across the Great Lakes and into New England skiing, as well as other outdoor winter activities, never materialized.
In the southeastern US, the ongoing drought continued due to lack of rain, but higher temperatures also played a major role. Wildfires, which are not uncommon here, started earlier in the season due to the heat.
For the months of April to June, the Climate Prediction Center is forecasting that over half of the US states will continue to see above average temperatures. Hardest hit will be the lower Mississippi River Valley and the desert southwest.

About 50 farmers and activists opposed to a cement factory in Indonesia's Central Java province have encased their feet in concrete during a days-long protest in Jakarta, the capital.
The factory in Kendeng village is now more or less complete and the owner, state-owned Cement Indonesia, has said it will create jobs and boost the local economy.
The ongoing protest was overshadowed this week by the death of one of the women involved. A legal aid foundation supporting the protesters said Patmi, 48, died of a heart attack early Tuesday.
Muhamad Isnur, a lawyer at the foundation, said the death of Patmi, who went by one name, "won't stop us. On the contrary, it will magnify our movement."
Anis Maftuhin, who said he represents the majority of Kendeng people who support the factory, defended it as a better alternative to mining the Karst mountains in the area. He said Cement Indonesia has built a water retention basin and helped secure clean water supplies.
But Isnur said the mining was only traditional and small scale and the factory could jeopardise the water supply far beyond the mountain villages.

Dreams are mysterious. Sleep can transport us to another life where we have tea with the Queen or swim across an ocean. These events—no matter how fantastical—seem real at the time because we don't know we are dreaming.
But what if you did know you were dreaming? The researcher at the center of Chloe Krug Benjamin's debut novel The Anatomy of Dreams is attempting to teach patients to lucid dream and thereby gain control of their dreaming as a way to cope with traumatic life experiences and subconscious conflicts.The Anatomy of Dreams follows narrator Sylvie Patterson from boarding school in northern California, where she first meets her boyfriend Gabe, to New England, and, finally, to Madison. Sylvie and Gabe's relationship doesn't survive high school and he disappears from her life for several years. When Gabe suddenly resurfaces before her ast year of college, Sylvie impulsively decides to leave school to join Gabe as a research assistant in the lab of Dr. Adrian Keller.
A sleep researcher at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Keller has staked his career on the therapeutic potential of lucid dreaming as a curative for victims of trauma and other causes of sleep disturbance. A disordered dream state, Keller argues, indicates unrest in a patient's life that can threaten their mental health.
Keller's experiments seem benign at first. But, after a young patient who is suffering the loss of his family has a dramatic response to Keller's attempts to guide him to a lucid state, Sylvie begins to question the ethical implications and effectiveness of Keller's research. Her suspicions are further confirmed after a former patient of Keller's commits a shocking crime.
Sylvie begins to dig deep into the doctor's history, raising questions about Keller's method and theories. She's never had as close and trusting a relationship to Keller as Gabe, and her uneasiness with the research begins to fray Gabe and Sylvie's relationship. Sylvie's discomfort is magnified by her tangled connection with an attractive but mysterious young couple living next door which eventually leads to a startling revelation.
Part thriller and part love story, The Anatomy of Dreams is hard to put down. It's also terribly difficult to write about the story without giving away key plot points. The overlapping arcs of Sylvie, Gabe, and Keller play out in chapters that jump in time between the late 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century. Something that happens in one chapter is often not explained until a later chapter when, either backward or forward in time, the decision or series of leading events is revealed.
Reading The Anatomy of Dreams is little like interpreting a dream, trying to make sense of scattered images and experiences. A person's dream is rarely as interesting to others as is it is to the dreamer, but Benjamin keeps the story moving forward by doing what we all should do when sharing our dreams: keep the pertinent parts, discard the rest.
Over the course of the novel Gabe doesn't really become anything more than moody and mysterious, where Sylvie seems to grow and change as she wrestles with the complexities of life in her twenties. Benjamin seems to use Gabe's stagnation and Sylvie's transformation to demonstrate how a relationship changes over time, particularly from adolescence into young adulthood, but the characters—as a couple—never seem to gel. Keller, too, is described as a charismatic figure trying to set the world on fire with a new theory of sleep, but he rarely seems anything more than an arrogant and secretive creep with a chip on his shoulder.
Benjamin's tale raises interesting psychological questions that flirt with science fiction and fantasy. But the novel stops just short of full explorations of or divergences into either of these themes, which makes it more of a thriller than a philosophical treatise on dreaming. The Anatomy of Dreams is rooted in reality and the real quest for answers about one of the most elusive and inexplicable of human experiences.


Do you ever have ideas that pop into your head and then just can't be quieted until you *finally* give them a try? Meet my Drexel desk. Funny story - this one was the very first piece I ever purchased from my now friend / furniture picker.... about two years ago. For two years it has quietly called to me, offering ideas, transforming in my mind into just about every shade of gray and blue possible, and asking for a map. A map? What am I thinking?? But y'all. With General Finishes Queenstown Gray Milk Paint and Modern Masters Matte Metallics in Gold Rush, this piece really came alive.
Talk about fabulous! I am so beyond excited about the final look on this beauty, and because I love y'all, I even broke it down step by step for a full tutorial. Click below to keep reading!
I started by sourcing a free map silhouette online and expanding it until the dimensions looked about right. When I printed, it went onto several pages, which I cut out / taped together and laid out to begin visualizing and verify the layout. (The desk top was later sanded down to bare wood for a perfectly even starting surface).
When I was ready to go again on this project, I painted all over, including under the lift - top lid, with General Finishes Queenstown Gray milk paint and very lightly distressed the edges. I chose this because the self-leveling properties help me achieve that gorgeous smooth finish, as well as due to its durability. Then the moment of truth. I laid out the outline again, and began the map.
The Modern Masters Matte Metallic Gold Rush is a semi-opaque product. That means 3 coats for full coverage (possibly more when you're going over a highly contrasting color). The first two I painted with my detail brush, and you can see the difference here where I have a single coat on South America and two coats on North America. However, there was still some translucency and I could see brush lines when looking from certain angles.
So I pulled out a craft sponge.
When I am seeing brush strokes, I like to vary my approach. Otherwise I feel like the lines continue to settle onto and over one another, and either don't resolve what I'm seeing, or can even compound the issue. This sponge has a smaller end that I used near the edges, and a larger circle that I used in the centers. You can see how much more coverage I had toward the western side of Africa in this photo. The sponge stippling helped me to achieve a much more opaque finish that texturally appears more like a gold leaf.
I sealed with three coats of High Performance Water Based Top Coat for protection, and used a gold leaf Rub N Buff to lightly accent the hardware.
I hope you love the final product as much as I do!! It's the perfect size for a writing desk, or would be just stunning paired with a gold mirror as a vanity.
The real beauty is that this technique can be applied to any silhouette design! I hope that if you try it out, you will share your pieces with me! Please take photos, I'd absolutely love to see them! And tell me, what other designs would you LOVE to see??
I love this! This is exactly what should be done with the desk I just got. I was going to re-do the top and just didn't know how or what to do. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks, Carmen!! I'd love to see a photo of your desk once you've completed it!

Q: NHibernate not deleting orphans on update I have a class, which has a list of an abstract class:
public class Foo
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public IList<Bar> Bars { get; set; }
}

public abstract class Bar
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
}

I have mapped the Bars as such:
HasMany(f => f.Bars).Cascade.AllDeleteOrphans();

However when I update a Foo to remove a Bar it doesn't delete the orphan but it does set Bar's Foo_id column to NULL?
I read around and saw answers saying to inverse the HasMany so I tried:
HasMany(f => f.Bars)
    .Inverse()
    .Cascade.AllDeleteOrphans();

But then when saving the Bar always had NULL as the Foo_id. This was also the case when I tried adding a KeyColumn:
HasMany(f => f.Bars)
    .Inverse()
    .KeyColumn("Foo_id")
    .Cascade.AllDeleteOrphans();

A: Using these mappings:
public class FooMap : ClassMap<Foo>
{
    public FooMap ()
    {
        Id(x => x.Id);
        HasMany(f => f.Bars).Inverse().Cascade.AllDeleteOrphans();
    }
}
public class BarMap : ClassMap<Bar>
{
    public BarMap ()
    {
        Id(x => x.Id);
        References(x => x.Foo);
    }
}

To remove, you need to disassociate the bar from the foo from both ways:
// get foo object
var foo = dao.GetFooByID(1);

var barToRemove = foo.Bars[0]; // find the first bar

// disassociate the objects to properly trigger cascade deletion
barToRemove.Foo = null;
foo.Bars.Remove(barToRemove);

dao.SaveFoo(foo);

On the other hand, to add, you need to associate the objects from both ways as well:
// get foo object
var foo = dao.GetFooByID(1);

var barToAdd = new Bar(); // new bar to add

// associate the objects to properly trigger cascade save
barToAdd.Foo = foo;
foo.Bars.Add(barToAdd);

dao.SaveFoo(foo);

Noble Traders: Beyond Fair Trade
Apr 22, 2014 | Articles
It seems unthinkable that a price could be put on one's culture, and yet, reducing cultural artifacts to mere objects worthy of consumption happens all of the time. Craftsmen in developing countries are often grossly exploited, and once artisanal items are given a price tag, they lose so much of their authentic cultural value. One company that is working to change this harrowing trend is Noble Traders, a group of passionate individuals on a mission to repair a broken consumerist system.
Noble Traders was created to support the local economies in West Africa, where some say that the djembes made there are the best in the world. Embracing these instruments as a jumping-off point, Noble Traders seeks to provide visibility for the local craftsmen who make them, to pay those djembe-makers fair living wages, to break the system that too often exploits these individuals, and to cultivate a global understanding and appreciation of myriad African cultures.
Cultivating Culture recently reached out to the company in hopes of learning more about its cross-cultural trading philosophy. Noble Traders founder Travis Fruge was in Uganda connecting with local craftsmen when we reached out to him. This is how he describes the bourgeoning company:
Noble Traders trades directly with craftsmen in developing countries to create growth where growth really happens: person by person and community by community. We pay our artists well for their products, provide mentorship on business development and reaching foreign markets, and work with them to help them reach their goals.
One aspect that sets us apart from many importers is that we look at our business as a means of blessing rather than exploiting.
With a focus on people and the invaluable cultural richness that envelopes each and every djembe, Noble Traders wants to change the way that goods are imported, and is doing so by shining a spotlight on the craftsman, rather than the profits being made. "So often craftsmen are the most underpaid and exploited parts of the supply chain," says Fruge. Noble Traders is disrupting trading operations that exploit the craftsmen, while finding a way to link consumers to the very culture that the products come from. Each djembe tells a unique story; each instrument is handcrafted by someone whose own story demands to be told. Noble Traders wants to tell those stories in order to preserve the cultural integrity that is embodied in every djembe sold.
Noble Traders is in its beginning stages of technical development, but with a recently fully funded Kickstarter Campaign, the company will no doubt have a global reach very soon. It is the hope of the company that Noble Traders becomes strong enough to provide loans for further business development, as well as additional benefits for the craftsmen that make trading possible to begin with. It's companies like Noble Traders that recognize the priceless value of culture that work tirelessly to connect consumers to something greater than themselves.

Financial transaction involving the exchange of currency to be completed at a future date. For instance, an individual may exchange the greenback for the yen because the exchange rate is better on a given date, but request that the transaction be completed in the future. Essentially, the individual is able to lock in the current rate to avoid possible changes in the exchange rate in the future.


My son's other band (besides Liturgy), Guardian Alien, is beginning to take off; just coming off a Midwest tour, they've got a new album out on Thrill Jockey, See the World Given to a One Love Entity, with an accompanying video. The album is one forty-minute track, high-energy and improvised but well structured, and fun to listen to. In fact, Bernard told me he took to heart some of the criticisms I had made of free improv in my early Village Voice writings, and took care to avoid the worst clichés. The genre, he says, is psychedelic rock. I asked, "Isn't that kind of old-fashioned? I mean, did they still have psychedelic rock in the eighties?" "Well, the eighties were probably a low point for it, but it's always been around, and that's what they still call it." So there you go. I do admire about pop musicians that they are not so squeamish about describing their music in terms of categories. They'd rather make a connection to the audience than be so frickin' ascetically pure-minded.
Exactly! Categories are always limited and limiting, but they're just the first comment in a conversation in search of what is unique about the piece in question. Can you imagine walking into a record store (back when there were such things) and finding that the proprietor had made no effort to subject his/her wares to any sort of categorization? Impossible! Though I do recall in the *real* old days certain hole in the wall store owners who seemed to have memorized every title on the premises. That was love.
Thanks for the tip on the new psychedelic rock album. I still listen to my old albums.
Much psychedelic music was/is exceptional. I still sometimes refer to classic tracks when I write chamber music and often use the whole concept as a starting point.
However I think now the political culture is antagonistic to the psychedelic ethos. Firstly it was largely spiritual, desired to leave earthly humdrum experiences behind, and was basically non-party political (I was at school at the time in the U.K. and the ruling socialist government was as disliked as much any other political colour). Now spirituality is not at the forefront and currently people are obsessed with the humdrum politics of everyday life. It was also driven by the fear there would be a final nuclear war, my friends and I did not believe we would ever reach the age of 21.

What is this? Is this how cpanel backs up my MySQL data? This could probably be the worst possible way of backing up a table -- why not simply use hotcopy or something is what I wonder.
My question is, in WHM, under "Configure Backup" --> "Sql Databases (at least per accounts is needed to use the restore feature)", if I select the "MySQL Dir" option would it disable this ugly SQL dump, and use some other mechanism instead?
