V22 Osprey discussion thread Mk II
21st Jan 2012, 14:35
Much of the concern over LTE comes from an early design flaw built into Bell 204 and 205 tail rotors and later carried over to the AH-1G Cobras. These early Bell tail rotors were situated on the left side of the tail boom and turned in an anti clockwise direction. This combination resulted in the tail rotor blade traveling down through the main rotor flow rather than up through it. Certain low speed and cross winds situations dramatically degraded tail rotor performance resulting situations identified as LTE. Bell rectified this by retaining the same tail rotor but relocating it on the right side of the tail boom. In this configuration the tail rotor blades travel up through the main rotor flow and were less susceptible to LTE.
There have been many instances where modern helicopters have experienced some form of LTE. The Blackhawk rolling down the hill and Erickson Aircrane rotating out of control during a water pickup are two recognizable examples. In these examples main rotor torque required exceeded tail rotor anti torque available. The tail rotors were operating as designed but in excess of there capabilities resulting in a loss of directional control.

Is LTE caused by a mechanical defect?
LTE is caused by an aerodynamic interaction between the main rotor and tail rotor. Some helicopter types (Jetranger) are more likely to encounter LTE due to the insufficient thrust produced by having a tail rotor which meets certification standards, but which is not always able to produce the thrust demanded by the pilot.

I see theres been another CH-53 accident in Afghanistan, reported as a D model which seems surprising as theyd be long in the tooth now. Also mentioned the Hawaii based unit will be transitioning to the V22.
The article talks about a possible technical fault but who knows with newspapers these days.
Either way a new V-22 has to be alot safer than an old CH-53D.

It was a D model. There are still two Hawaii 53D squadrons. They're both in line to be replaced by the V-22.

Anticipated V-22 Acquisition Slow Down
Exclusive: Pentagon budget eyes $178.8 bln for R&D, procurement
By Andrea Shalal-Esa
WASHINGTON | Sat Feb 11, 2012 3:33pm EST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon's $525 billion budget plan for fiscal 2013 calls for spending of $178.8 billion to develop and buy new warships, fighter jets and other major weapons, a 7.5 percent drop from the level initially projected for the coming year, according to a detailed budget document obtained by Reuters.
The total acquisition spending amount is about 12.2 percent down from the level the Pentagon requested in last year's budget, the document shows.
The fiscal 2013 plan foresees spending of $109.1 billion for procurement and $69.7 billion for research and development, compared with earlier projections of $117.6 billion for procurement and $75.7 billion for R&D.
The document shows that the U.S. military is maintaining high levels of spending on most aircraft and ships as it shifts its focus to the Asia Pacific region, a new military strategy announced last month by President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
At the same time, funding for ground vehicle programs will be far lower as the U.S. military reduces the size of the Army and Marine Corps after 10 years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Panetta last month gave highlights of the 2013 budget, his first as defense secretary and the first that takes into account a deficit-reducing measure passed by Congress that requires cuts of $487 billion from projected spending over the next decade.
It is also the first Pentagon budget since the September 11, 2001, attacks that requests less funding than the year before.
Weapons makers like Lockheed Martin Corp, Boeing Co, Northrop Grumman Corp, General Dynamics Corp, Huntington Ingalls Corp and Raytheon Co have been anxiously awaiting details about their programs.
The Pentagon is due to formally release the details on Monday when Obama sends his 2013 budget request to Congress, which must approve the spending plan.
AIRCRAFT FUNDING DOWN
The plan for the 2013 fiscal year, which begins on October 1, requests $9.17 billion for the Pentagon's biggest weapons program, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, down slightly from $9.25 billion requested in fiscal 2012.
That includes $2.7 billion for ongoing development of the radar-evading supersonic jet, and $6.15 billion to pay for 29 jets, down from $6.33 billion for 31 jets in 2012.
Panetta announced last month that the Pentagon would slow the ramp-up in production of the new fighter to allow more time for testing and avert costly retrofits.
Overall spending on aircraft programs will drop 12 percent to $47.6 billion in fiscal 2013 from $54.2 billion in the fiscal 2012 budget request, mainly due to a 41 percent drop in funding for the Lockheed-built C-130J transport plane, and a 32 percent cut in funding for the V-22 Osprey.
The Pentagon proposed spending $835 million on seven more C-130J airlifters in fiscal 2013, down from $1.43 billion for 12 planes in fiscal 2012.
Funding for the V-22, a tilt-rotor aircraft built by Boeing and Bell Helicopter, a unit of Textron Inc, would drop to $1.91 billion for 21 aircraft, from $2.8 billion for 35 planes in fiscal 2012.
The plan foresees spending of $1.25 billion for six high-altitude unmanned Global Hawk spy planes built by Northrop Grumman - three for NATO and three for the Navy. Panetta announced last month that the Pentagon was cancelling work on the Air Force's Block 30 variant.
The plan would increase funding for the AH-64 Apache helicopter built by Boeing by 55 percent, funding 40 remanufactured helicopters and 10 new aircraft. Northrop Grumman
and Lockheed also have a big role in the program.
Funding for the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter built by Sikorsky Aircraft, a unit of United Technologies Corp, would continue a five-year procurement agreement with $1.3 billion for 59 of the twin-engine helicopters.
GROUND VEHICLE BUDGET DROPS 32 PERCENT
The Pentagon's spending plan includes $10.9 billion for ground vehicles, 32 percent less than the $16 billion requested in fiscal 2012. The new request includes $117 million for continued development of a new light tactical vehicle for the Army and Marine Corps and a heavier new Ground Combat Vehicle.
Funding for the Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles built by Oshkosh Corp would drop to $58.1 million for 1,534 vehicles from $650 million for 9,336 vehicles funded in fiscal 2012.
Missile defense spending would remain fairly stable at $9.7 billion under the fiscal 2013 request, maintaining work on several air and missile defense capabilities such as the Patriot PAC-3 missile built by Lockheed.
It would fund the MEADS joint program with Italy and Germany at $400.9 million, completing development testing.
Shipbuilding programs would get $22.6 billion in the fiscal 2013 request, down from $24 billion in the fiscal 2012 request. That will fund 2 Virginia-class nuclear attack submarines, 2 DDG-51 destroyers, 4 Littoral Combat Ships and the first year of construction of a second new aircraft carrier.
Space programs would get $8 billion, a drop of 22 percent from the $10 billion requested in fiscal 2012, due to fewer satellites and launches, and the cancellation of Northrop's Defense Weather Satellite System.

Venanzi said autorotation tests have been conducted at altitude, and that "it doesn't take much altitude" to achieve a power-off full flair to a sink rate of zero fpm.
Agusta Test Piot Veranzi talking of flight tests on the Civil Tiltrotor.
What about the Osprey.....isn't 1,600 feet the number given for the ability to achieve forward airspeed for a fixed wing type emergency landing and no ability to "auto-rotate"?
Certification requirements?
Safety standard criteria difference?
Design difference?
Don't know who is giving out 1600' as a key altitude for a fixed wing emergency landing.
The V-22 does have the ability to autorotate.
Section 2.5 starting on page 27 discusses "Autorotation" in detail, the procedures, probability, shortcomings, and training. It is an older document (circa 2001) but I would assume it is still valid as to describing the situation....and that suggested improvements in training, simulators, and NATOPs procedures have been made.
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/v22-report.pdf
I may be getting old and worry about my mortality more than I used to do...but even at spending 30% of my flight time in a phase of flight where the lack of a viable auto rotational capability might prove deadly....it would give one pause for thought.
If it isn't 1600 feet....what does the H/V diagram look like?
Autorotation Vs Airplane Mode Glide
I have no doubt that the V-22 has the ability to establish an autorotative descent. The report provided by SASless clearly states that, "that the probability of a successful autorotational landing from a stable autorotative descent is very low." As a result the manufacturer implies that the recommend method of landing with both engines inoperative would be an airplane type glide to a touchdown to a hard surface. SASless, it sounds as it 30% is the best one might see. From my perspective nearly 100% of the time a viable autorotation is not a choice. An airplane mode glide to a touchdown gets my vote as the procedure of choice, if for no other reason than that it will provide a little additional time to sort out the situation while inroute to the mishap site.
If I had the time and interest I would go back through the thread and find the information John Dixson posted that detailed the Emergency Procedures and a discussion of the H/V diagram which showed a fair old height being required for the transition from Hover Mode into a No-Engines Operating Airplane Glide. It was startling to see how high one needed to be in order to achieve a proper Glide Speed and descent rate.
As the Marines say...it is not a helicopter....it is a tilt rotor and thus cannot be expected to autorotate like a helicopter.
Also...the odds of having a dual engine failure is quite remote....but possible as we all know about "Sod's Law".
The trick will be operating in the Hover Mode at heights lower than required to make that transition....where one cannot autorotate or go gliding....not that will ever happen mind you!
The difficulty of a transition from Hover Mode to an authoritative descent and landing must rather sporty as it is only done in the Simulator....and unless I misunderstand....it was not done in much detail during testing.
The other quote I found interesting is the Civil version has a different system for controlling the prop rotors angles and uses "Detents". I wonder why the difference and which system is the better? Could it be the Military froze the design in order to get into production and decided not to use the "Detent" method as Agusta has for the 609.
Ospreydriver: curious.
Do you guys do practice autos in the Sims?
That Rate of Descent I saw in a NATOPS manual (not sure how current it is) looked pretty sporting!
Looks like a tough maneuver from the description.

Venanzi said autorotation tests have been conducted at altitude, and that "it doesn't take much altitude" to achieve a power-off full flair (sic) to a sink rate of zero fpm.
SAS (and everyone else), what Pietro Venanzi was obviously talking about there was the ability of the 609 to flare (correct spelling) to zero sink rate while already established in an auto. He's clearly trying to appease the critics who say the tilt-rotor cannot autorotate to a safe landing.
Presumably, a run-on landing in helicopter mode would be less risky than a forced-landing in King Air mode. Either way, the landing is going to be breathtaking! With regard to the former, imagine timing that flare? Hoo! But even King Air pilots don't practice dual engine failure landings in real life - probably not even in the sim. Then again, King Airs aren't often asked to hover.
However, one has to chuckle a little at Venanzi's clever use of that vague, "doesn't take much" phrase. Sooooo...how much is "not much?" And how much more "not much" would it take for the heavier V-22 to flare to zero fpm in an auto? Ah, semantics, gotta love them.
When it comes to engine failures, we know that the transition from hover-to-stabilized-auto or hover-to-airplane-mode is going to take up quite a bit of altitude. But let's dismiss the idea of having a dual engine failure while hovering and then transitioning to airplane mode. When would that ever happen? When would a V-22 be hovering high enough to even consider such a procedure?
On the other hand, if both of an Osprey's engines quit when it's cruising along up high, it becomes a bank safe with little stubby wings. Look for something soft to land on (hopefully near a hospital), not Interstate-10.
If you have a dual engine failure at the end of a flight when you're on approach and transitioned back to helicopter mode, you're pretty much screwed; we understand this. But you would have to be having a REALLY bad day. (Hopefully nobody would experience a dual engine failure on take-off.)
It's a compromise aircraft. Those who fly it (and fly in it) accept those compromises that come with the increased capability. They look at the instances of dual engine failures in existing multi-engine aircraft and they consider the risk of that particular emergency to be low enough to not worry about.

Osprey Driver.....found a reference to the 1600 Feet AGL number.
The proper wording should be "....following sudden dual engine failure or failure of the operating engine in OEI Flight....".
Indeed, the 2005 OT-IIG report itself says in reference to "emergency landing profiles following sudden dual-engine failure" that: "dependent on altitude, the aircraft flight manual directs conversions to airplane mode or autorotation."167 Yet this report's own executive summary states: "Emergency landing after the sudden failure of both engines in the Conversion/Vertical Take-Off and Landing modes below 1,600 feet altitude are not likely to be survivable. ... The V-22 cannot [author emphasis] autorotate to a safe landing."168 A subsequent comment in the summary states: "Additional flight tests should be conducted to provide validated procedures for dual-engine failure."169 Any volunteers? Clearly, safe engine-out landing is a major unresolved issue for the V-22.
SansAnhedral
The 1600' remark can actually be attributed to (OT-IIG)
http://pogoarchives.org/m/dp/dp-V22-dote-092005.pdf
Page 35 under dual engine failure
To convert the nacelles from 60 to 0 degrees requires about 8 seconds and the aircraft must be above ground level by 1600' in order to complete the conversion prior to impact
I'm not sure how the 8 second/1600' statistic relationship is derived (a standard decent rate?), and I am even less sure how this conversion time yields a "not likely to be survivable" conclusion.
Emergency landing after the sudden failure of both engines in the Conversion/Vertical Take-Off and Landing modes below 1,600 feet altitude are not likely to be survivable
It seems to me that should read, "Full conversion from 60 to 0 degrees of nacelle tilt cannot be achieved in under 8 seconds of 1600' of decent time @ XXX fps"
SAS, where is your quoted text from?

Page 298.....Operational Suitability
Original quote came from the Gailliard article....
http://www.dote.osd.mil/pub/reports/...2005v-22xs.pdf
http://www.cdi.org/pdfs/gailliard%20on%20v-22.pdf
Mr. Gaillard seems a bit unimpressed with the Osprey....and reading his paper does raise some interesting questions. One example that I just read....
the countermeasures dispensing system was found to have insufficient capacity for longer missions, and radar reflection from the V-22's total propeller disc area of more than 2,267 square feet rivals that of two Boeing 707s in formation.146 (Given that situation, one can only wonder at the logic behind the development of top-secret "stealth paint" for the fuselage at a cost of $7,500 per gallon; the one aircraft they painted required 10 gallons for a paint job costing $75,000—but those huge, whirling discs were still there, bouncing back radar signals with gusto.)
Sure enough, its there, i missed it in scanned version I linked to.
My question as to how that conclusion was arrived at remains.
Mr. Gaillard seems a bit unimpressed with the Osprey
You dont say?
God bless...I can't believe I'm in this discussion again.
To clean up some smaller issues...
"Detents." I'm not an expert on the 609, but to my knowledge, it doesn't have 0-97 degrees of nacelle settings selectable by the pilot, but only some key settings representative of certain flight regimes or speeds. This isn't a flaw in either design. Long story short, the military design allows for more flexibility on the part of the pilot. Some scenarios call for use of nacelles, e.g. big changes in airspeed. Some require nose attitude, e.g. small adjustments. The military environment is tactical, and thus more dynamic than the civil one. The civil "detent" concept is probably easier to fly, but takes some control away from the pilot. The Osprey can set 0, or 60, or 90 degrees or whatever, but allows intermediate settings as the situation requires.
The Osprey doesn't auto as well as a helo. It autos well enough. It is practiced in the sim. That's no secret.
It glides decently as an APLN, and that's the preferred regime.
In a line squadron, it spends the vast majority of its time in APLN.
As others have said, it's a compromise between a helo and an airplane. It takes strengths and weaknesses from both.
The Marine Corps and Air Force have both decided that in the final analysis, those tradeoffs make sense. I concur. There will always be the corner cases where it isn't better, but in the vast majority of flight regimes, it is more survivable than other platforms. As a 46 turned 22 guy, I'll tell you that there are a lot fewer "land immediately" EPs in a V-22 than a 46.
These are identical sentiments to every single Marine I have ever spoken with who has been involved with Osprey operations...pilots, chiefs, commanders etc.
Cue up the critics conversation shift in this thread back to costs and OTH mission viability. Round and round we go, no doubt...
Ospreydriver: thanks for you insights.
Of course the Marines do not want to discuss the Over The Horizion (OTH) issue as it cannot be defended with any reasonable basis. The concept sounds good...and if achieved would promise good results in budget battles against the other Forces within DOD.
In shrinking budgets of course Costs are important issues....again the Marines want to avoid the spotlight getting shined on the Osprey Program as it is a huge chunk of their budget.
Think what you want about the Osprey in operations it is fit for....but remember it was sold as being the answer to every mission conceivable which it plainly is not and never was.
When you pull out the stops to get your Program and keep your Program...and let yourself get carried away in that process....don't be surprised when a critical review finds fault with the advertising claims.
Now...with that being said....let's hear a Marine Corps summary of the OTH Strategy as it stands now...right now....and where has it been a success and where has it failed to meet expectations. What is the true capability of the USMC/USN re OTH. How many Billions have been spent...and what operational capability have they purchased? Did we (the US Taxpayer) get our money's worth?
I plainly think NOT! Did we get something...sure....but what and at what cost?
Osprey Driver and others that think highly of the Osprey are quite welcome to do so and have a basis upon which to make that evaluation. Likewise, as Professional Marines and probably readers of "Proceedings", "The Marine Gazette" and other DOD related professional outlets...they can form an opinion about OTH and its current status.
Perhaps some googling and quoting from those sources might lay out other informed evaluations.
No matter how one wishes to try....divorcing the Osprey Program from OTH is not reasonable as OTH was the driving motivation for the Osprey. In actuality, even if OTH is finally acknowledged to be a complete failure....the Marines will find valuable uses for the Osprey just not the one it was designed for and sold as being critical in need.
This article discusses the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) which was one of the three legs of the OTH Stool...the other two being the Osprey and the LCAC. If you take the time to read the article...compare the thrust of the argument to that of the Osprey program. Consider the EFV program was cancelled by DOD recently as it was a total failure....leaving OTH without a self deployable armored amphibious infantry fighting vehicle. The author politely evades the OTH discussion by stating it is beyond the scope of the article despite the impact success or failure of the AFV Program has on OTH.
Just as in the EFV Program....does not success or failure of the Osprey program not have a similar effect upon OTH?
The EFV | Marine Corps Gazette
OD,
Having instructed in Simulators at two different helicopter manufactures....I am curious about the techniques used by the USMC in their Sim Training. What scenarios are used to do the Autorotations? It is well briefed, well planned, and done as a stand alone maneuver....or do you mix it up so at times the need to autorotate presents itself as an unannounced emergency situation. Do you introduce the evolution as being a second engine failure after some OEI flight?
What percentage of authoritative landings in the Sim are successful...no damage to the aircraft or occupants? Does that success rate improve with practice?

Q: Should I use a base page class or make a helper class? I am using the page object model to create selenium test cases. Currently all of my pages extend from a base class, which has all the functions like clicking an element or entering text. I don't have anything else here - should this be a superclass or should these functions just be moved to a helper class?

A: In most of the projects people inherit BasePage class in all page objects as it is easier in terms of coding to just inherit all base page operations. In terms of OOP principles its not really a (is-a) relationship. It will be more cleaner if you have PageAction class or something similar (as you call it helper class) and use composition (has-a) instead of inheritance (is a).

En acoustique, en optique ou en électromagnétisme, le mode est l'état d'une onde stationnaire.

Définition des modes
Un mode est une solution d'une équation de propagation, équation différentielle ou à dérivées partielles. Si l'équation est linéaire, par définition de la linéarité toute combinaison linéaire à coefficients constants (ici supposés réels) est une solution.

En acoustique, les équations de propagation sont, en première approximation, linéaires. En électromagnétisme, les équations de Maxwell dans le vide sont linéaires. Cette linéarité est étendue à des systèmes contenant des sources, en remplaçant fictivement les sources par leurs champs avancés qui sont des ondes calculées de façon qu'elles soient intégralement absorbées par les sources.

Peu excitée, une flûte émet une onde sinusoïdale dont la fréquence est indépendante de l'excitation, donc de l'amplitude émise : elle émet sur son mode fondamental. Très excitée, elle émet aussi des fréquences sensiblement multiples (harmoniques), elle fonctionne sur un autre mode.

Cette description se généralise mathématiquement. Les solutions d'une équation linéaire sont représentées dans un espace vectoriel (supposé ici réel), souvent de dimension infinie. Un mode correspond à toutes les solutions proportionnelles à l'une d'entre elles. Pour un mode donné, une solution dépend du coefficient de proportionnalité (réel), appelé amplitude (ne pas confondre l'amplitude d'une solution avec la valeur locale d'une solution aussi appelée amplitude).

On doit distinguer des modes définis ci-dessus, les "modes géométriques" qui sont des ensembles de modes qui diffèrent par l'addition d'une constante à la variable temps.

Énergie des modes en électromagnétisme
Max Planck a établi en 1900 que pour obtenir une formule représentant bien le rayonnement du corps noir à température T, il faut poser que l'énergie dans un mode électromagnétique monochromatique de fréquence f, contenu dans ce corps est :
hf/((exp(hf/kT)-1) + C,
où h est la constante qui porte son nom, k la constante de Boltzmann, et C une constante dont la valeur moyenne exacte a été donnée par Nernst en 1916. On trouve facilement la valeur de cette constante hf/2 en écrivant que l'énergie dans le mode tend, conformément à la thermodynamique, vers k T lorsque T tend vers l'infini. Il résulte de ce calcul que l'amplitude dans un mode électromagnétique a une valeur minimale qui correspond à l'énergie à 0 K : hf/2.

Absorption d'une onde classique
Les équations de propagation des ondes acoustiques contiennent un terme d'amortissement, mais on peut souhaiter réduire l'amplitude d'un bruit sans attendre son amortissement. À cet effet, on utilise des haut-parleurs qui émettent des ondes en opposition de phase avec l'onde parasite (atténuation active d'un bruit). Mais le résultat n'est pas parfait.
De même, il apparaît impossible d'absorber une onde électromagnétique émise par un oscillateur de Hertz ou un atome au moyen d'ondes émises par des sources semblables car les ondes sont intenses au voisinage des sources, et leurs amplitudes décroissent rapidement. On a ainsi une origine sensible du champ du point zéro; les équations de Maxwell n'ayant pas de terme d'amortissement.

Pour tenir compte de la valeur minimale de l'amplitude dans un mode, on doit considérer que l'émission spontanée est une amplification du champ du point zéro, et qu'une absorption d'apparence totale laisse subsister l'amplitude minimale. Toutes les observations sont conformes aux résultats de ces calculs, et, en particulier il est inutile d'introduire un champ correctif de réaction de radiation pour interpréter l'émission spontanée.

Will Three Sixty CBD Open Your Eyes To The Possibilities Of Cannabis?
Do you wonder about what cannabis is like? Maybe you never went through a rebellious phase and smoked with other devil-may-care teenagers. But now that marijuana laws are passing, sweeping the nation, you may be wondering what the hype is all about. Maybe cannabis isn't just for teens living on the edge. After all, cannabis as a plant has been used by almost all cultures where you can find it growing naturally. And now, more than ever, countries where the plant must be imported. But the legal status of marijuana in many states has started a trend where cannabis is being grown on American soil. And you can try it today in the form of CBD! With 360 CBD!
Why 360 CBD? Because, cannabis is now something you can try legally. But in a form where it won't get you high! This isn't a substitute for marijuana. Since cannabis can come in multiple forms. It's not all marijuana. But it is all cannabis! And some believe that the same health and wellness benefits you get from marijuana, you can also get from the whole cannabis plant, with the help of one special cannabinoid: Cannabidiol, or, CBD for short. That's what 360 CBD Oil has to offer YOU! Are you ready to start with your new cannabis journey? Just tap the banner below now!
How Does 360 CBD Work?
360 CBD works with just what it sounds like: CBD. But what exactly is CBD? CBD is short for Cannabidiol. And Cannabidiol is a cannabinoid. Cannabinoid are special distinct parts of the chemical makeup of the cannabis plant. CBD is gaining fame, but THC has always been the most famous cannabinoid. That's because THC is the psychedelic cannabinoid responsible for getting people high! And if you don't mind missing out on this (or if you'd rather avoid this altogether), you can try CBD with Vital 360 CBD to get the OTHER benefits that cannabis has to offer. Studies are currently being done to test out how effective CBD is. And some are finding a lot of promise. That's why people across the nation are trying products like Three Sixty CBD Oil. They are trying it for helping out with a variety of issues. From anxiety to depression to insomnia. To PTSD to chronic pain to eating disorders. And many more!
Keep in mind that 360 CBD Extract is no different than any other supplement. It is not a replacement for expert medical care. But it may be a good natural health and wellness supplement. The reasons for why CBD can help you out is kind of straight forward. Though there is a lot of science to it. But here's the basic breakdown. You have something called an Endocannabinoid System (ECS). And this system is greatly linked to your Central Nervous System (CNS). Notice how the word "Endocannabinoid" has the word "cannabinoid" embedded in it? This system is a natural system that responds to the cannabis plant and the cannabis plant alone! It's built into your biological makeup. And that's why CBD has the potential to affect positive change. Across such a wide range of physical and psychological health and wellness territory.
360 CBD contains several key ingredients. Please contact 360 CBD Customer Care for a full ingredients list and ingredients information. You can also ask how this product was processed. For instance, did they use a CO2 extraction method? Also ask how much Cannabidiol is in this product. You will want to know the dosage information for you as both a consumer and to be responsible in your CBD use.
Since CBD affects your ECS and your ECS is so closely linked to your CNS, CBD can affect a lot of parts of your body and brain. And people take CBD to help out with their overall health and wellness. But sometimes the bad can come even with the good. That said, most people respond well to CBD. Or, at least, they don't typically experience terrible side effects. If anything, you might feel tired or lethargic. So if it's your first time experimenting with cannabis or CBD, try it out maybe at night before bed for the first time. Just in case.

The BBC shared research carried out by the American Society of Hematology and Imperial Cancer Research Fund, which found that Big Tobacco has being doing everything in its power to ensure that the cigarettes they produce are as addictive as possible.
How have they gone about achieving this goal? By allegedly using additives that enhance taste while increasing the amount of nicotine delivered with each puff.
What's more, the findings claim that these additives include "sweeteners and chocolate used to make cigarettes more palatable to children" and that "eugenol and menthol are added to numb the throat to mask the aggravating effects of tobacco smoke".
Of course, Big Tobacco fired back by pointing out that any additives they may or may not be using are actually allowed by government. Then, when the state of Massachusetts forced tobacco companies to disclose the exact list of additives used by all brands, the industry wasted no time filing a lawsuit. Suspicious? You don't say.


Jerusalem is one of the strongest tourist brands in the world. It offers a combination of history, going back thousands of years, cultural institutions, tourist sites and cultural event – international tourism. Lately there has been a significant growth in the number tourists coming to Israel in general and to Jerusalem in particular. 2010 was a record breaking year for tourism in Israel; about 3.5 million tourists visited Israel and about 2.7 million of them visited Jerusalem.
The Jerusalem Development Authority operates in the framework of a strategic, multi-year plan for the development of tourism as an impetus for growth in the city centers of Jerusalem. It aims to maximize the economic potential of tourism and to create new employment opportunities; the plan includes the developing of cultural and tourism "products", infrastructures and marketing tourism in the city.


Generally, a new type of government is established when its earlier alternative fails to fulfill the needs of citizens. When such a type of government is established, the positive attributes of the previous government are retained whereas, the negative attributes are changed. Similarly, Social Democracy and Cosmopolitan Democracy were established. So, what exactly is the difference between Social Democracy and Cosmopolitan Democracy? These two types of government are differentiated based on factors like definition, ideologies, characteristics, structure, etc. The widely used definition of Social Democracy is "A socialist system of govenment based on democracy" whereas, Cosmopolitan Democracy is defined as "Explores the application of norms of democracy at global levels.".
Comparison of Social Democracy vs Cosmopolitan Democracy proves to be significant when we are studying different types of governments. Social Democracy and Cosmopolitan Democracy may differ drastically in their principles or they could be such government forms, which are derived from one another. These principles and other details can be studied at Social Democracy Definition and Cosmopolitan Democracy Definition.
Comparison of Social Democracy vs Cosmopolitan Democracy history tells us how these types of governments have evolved over time. Social Democracy has originated in 19th century AD whereas Cosmopolitan Democracy took roots in 20th century AD. Founders or advocates of Social Democracy are Anthony Crosland, Brendan Corish, Clement Attlee, David Ben-Gurion, Ed Broadbent, Eduard Bernstein, Gro Harlem Brundtland, Hjalmar Branting, Job Cohen, José Batlle Y Ordóñez, Léon Blum, Obafemi Awolowo, Otto Bauer, Victor L. Berger, Willy Brandt, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and people who have contributed in the progress of Cosmopolitan Democracy are Albert Einstein, David Held, George Monbiot, Kurt Vonnegut, Mary Kaldor, Richard Falk.
When you compare Social Democracy vs Cosmopolitan Democracy structure the factors to be considered are majority rule, succession, presence of parliament and constitution.
Majority rule is present in Social Democracy. While in Cosmopolitan Democracy, Majority Rule is present.
The succession rule applied in Social Democracy is Elective and that in Cosmopolitan Democracy is Elective.
Constitution is present in Social Democracy and in Cosmopolitan Democracy constitution is Sometimes present.

Virginia Archives
Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority's Union Only PLA Squashed
From Virginia State Senator Mark D. Obenshain: Big Labor must be reeling after the one-two punch they just received-first they were pummeled in Wisconsin and now organized labor has beat a major retreat here in Virginia. On Wednesday, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) finally took Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) off the table for the Dulles Rail project, voting 11-1 to scrap PLA incentives for bidders. But let's not mince words: these weren't just run-of-the mill "incentives"; they were a bid scoring bonus that would have effectively made the project union-only, locking out Virginia's non-unionized contractors. Virginia is a Right to Work state with a 96% non-union workforce. The Project Labor Agreement that MWAA wanted would have run up costs and limited competition, to the great disadvantage of Virginia companies and Virginia workers. Earlier this year, I patroned SB 242, legislation prohibiting state agencies and recipients of state assistance from mandating PLAs for Virginia and Virginia-assisted construction projects. The bill passed both chambers and has been signed by Governor McDonnell.
Tim Kaine: "Friend of Labor Bosses"
Virginia is a battleground state for the presidency and for control of the US Senate this year. Former GOP Senator and Right to Work champion George Allen is running against former Obama's handpicked Democratic National Committee Chairman and while Virginia governor and Tim Kaine. Kaine claims to support the state's Right to Work law, but does not support a national Right to Work law. The Richmond Times Dispatch noticed how President Obama in a speech deriding Right to Work called Tim Kaine a "friend of labor." "Friend of labor" is a euphemism for "friends of the union bosses." American workers who have 'friends' like these, who needs enemies: In a recent speech calling Tim Kaine a "friend of labor," President Barack Obama took a swipe at states — including Virginia — that have right-to-work laws. Not surprisingly, he misrepresented not only the laws but the facts. The president says right-to-work laws are an attempt to "take collective bargaining rights away." No, they aren't. Unions can still bargain collectively in right-to-work states. What they can't do is make union membership a condition of employment. The president also said he likes to call right-to-work "right-to-work-for-less laws." Good one. But studies about wages in right-to-work versus non-right-to-work states differ; some say they're higher, others say they're lower. And others note that both economic output and wages have risen faster in right-to-work states.
Right To Work All Top 10 vs. Compulsory Unionism All Bottom 10
In Chief Executive Magazine's Best and Worst States for Business, all the top ten were from Right To Wok States. Unsurprisingly, Compulsory Unionism States took all bottom ten positions. States ranking from 1-10 are: Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Utah, Arizona. States ranked from the worst, 50-41: California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Hawaii.

While Michigan and Obama's Home state, Illinois, live up to a rusting belt reputation; Virginia, among other Right To Work states, is leading the way to an economic revival.

Jump5 Biography
In a mere five years since their official formation as teen power-pop group, Jump5-Brandon, Brittany, Chris and Lesley-has been building considerable momentum, releasing five studio recordings, a re-mix record and their current release, The Very Best Of Jump5. The 12-song collection showcases all of the favorites on one recording-the musical evolution of Jump5, with nine of their most loved, most popular hits and three new songs, 'Beautiful To Me', 'Don't Run Away' and CCM classic, 'Friends'.
Under the guidance of some of the best producers the business has to offer-Mark Hammond (Josh Groban, Amy Grant, Nichole Nordeman, Brian McKnight, Luther Vandross), Dan Muckala (Mandy Moore, Joy Williams, N'Sync, Point Of Grace, Aaron Neville), Tedd T (ZOEgirl, Mute Math, Rebecca St. James, Stacie Orrico, Plus One, Avalon, Toby Mac), Shaun Shankel (writer of American Idol finalist Kimberley Locke's smash single "Eighth World Wonder")-the quartet continues to raise the entertainment bar for 'tweens'-today's hottest marketing target group-and to prioritize positive impact as much as popularity. These energetic teens choose to give 'tweens and teenagers what they want without sacrificing what they need-healthy, positive messages about being true to yourself, respecting and accepting others, and enjoying all life has to offer.
Jump5-well-known as a magnetic, energetic foursome-knows how to do one thing extremely well; connect with their hundreds of thousands of fans around the world. And kids aren't the only ones who appreciate Jump5's inspirational messages, proving without question that this is music for the whole family. "It's been awesome to watch them grow as singers, musicians, and performers through the years," producer Mark Hammond says. "But much more profound has been watching them grow personally. Now more than ever I see a tremendous desire within each one of them not just to make great music, but to use the gifts and opportunities they've been given to make a positive difference in the lives of the kids that look up to them."
Sherri Huitt, mother of a 14 year-old daughter, agrees. "Role models are so important, and so is the message they send-because kids want to be like them, no matter who it is, they want to be like them." With Jump5, she adds, the message and model underscores the positive values she's been teaching her kids at home.
Lesley, Chris, Brittany and Brandon are growing Christians, working diligently in the mainstream, and welcomed in churches and major venues alike. They have created a universally understood 'just for us' genre that kids can't get enough of. That welcoming embrace has allowed Jump5 to perform in front of millions, with appearances on Nickelodeon, ABC Christmas Morning with Regis and Kelly three years in a row, two walk-ons on CBS Early Show, performances on Crystal Cathedral, PTL and the Disney Channel. The four athletic performers tour extensively, having headlined or co-headlined a total of five tours. Four Jump5 songs have landed on major motion pictures (The Lizzie McGuire Movie, Sleepover, Ella Enchanted, Brother Bear), which would thrill any teenager, but Chris, Brittany, Lesley and Brandon are most honored by their performance for President George W. Bush at The White House.
Jump5 has, since the beginning, naturally chosen songs with lyrics promoting positive self-esteem and faith-based values that inspire and empower kids, making a successful evolution from song to song. The Very Best Of Jump5 collects 12 songs that underscore the notion that these ordinary teens really get what matters most. They understand that kids like them want and need positive reinforcement. And they enjoy being able to tell their peers that they have the power to choose their own path.

How about one song by Hildegard of Bingen today and over the weekend.
We surround ourselves in RCWP in a time of gradual opening to our as yet unknown visions and ways forward. WE feel our way in the Luminous Spirit Hildegard sings of today.
This song is called Hodie Aperuit: Today has Opened. ...It is the first in a series of luminous chants and instrumentaltions for her expressions of complete love for the Divine One and for her open heart waiting to receive each infilling of the Spirit in return.

THIS GREAT UNKOWING: LAST POEMS.
Our own words are for us to speak, a way to ask and answer (53).
Loving Mother and Father God, we long to bathe in the light of your holiness and love.
We long to rest in your silence.
Be deeply with us and calm any fears we carry on our journey to the diaconate, to priesthood and to the episcopate.
Fill us with the courage of your holy prophets and help us to understand how prophetic witnessing and the creation of prophetic change happens.
Show us in your infinite gentleness and compassion how to co-create the building of your inclusive model of priesthood for a converted church and for the deep healing of the People of Godde, who also heal us.
Firstly, let me introduce to you those who, at this moment, are participating in holding your Sacred Space, in holding the rim of your space on the North American continent as you prepare for and journey towards and to the epicsopal ordinations .
from Europe when we begin our daily common prayer on March 29, through to and including Easter Sunday.
And there are others with us who hold our space from deep within the Catacomb realities.
They should not be forgotten as powerful Presences in RCWP.
We also expect wider participation from our support people as we evolve in our Cloud of Witness presence and prayer. for and with you.
I am attaching our reflection and prayer for today to your responses because we know that in a Discipleship of Equals, the dialogic impulse (pulse I should say), the heart beat of our communities is essential,. Thus our role in servant leadership to listen for and to the movement of the Spirit amongst us as we language our responses, our prayer conversation with our God ( who always has the first Word) and then with each other in our liturgies and in Sacrament.
So on this Ash Wednesday, where I awoke wondering what we would offer you next and when we would do it, I found your grateful and heart-felt responses to us on the RCWP/NA list.
They are so heart fully grateful that we have been calling and communicating with each other in a return of ecstasy and joy and wonder at the unfolding of such a simple call offered just last night, the Eve of Ash Wednesday.
You are a people holy to our God; Our Godde has chosen you to be God's people, Godde's treasured possession. It was because our Mother and Father God loved you and kept the promise sworn to our ancestors that now you have been rescued from the house of slavery. Know , therefore, that God is faithful . Our God keeps Covenant loyalty with those who love her, with those who love him to a thousand, thousand generations.
Mary, Mother of Jesus Catholic Community celebrated an inclusive Catholic liturgy on Saturdays in Sarasota, Florida. On Feb. 21 st, 2009 our community moved to a larger home because we had outgrown my home. Again the Holy Spirit suprised us and we doubled our numbers in two weeks. We give thanks that God is blessing our community with wondrous growth, not only in numbers, but in enthusiasm and joyful praise as we gather to celebrate the banquet of Jesus who invites all to the table of boundless love and forgiveness. On this wondrous occasion, Michael Rigdon, a married RC priest and Julia Fisher, an Episcopal woman priest co-presided at our Christ-centered worship. Indeed, as Jack Meehan, my Dad played our recessional, "When the saints go marching in," we truly experienced a cloud of witnesses on earth and in heaven leading us to a renewed, glorious celebration of our faith in Jesus's healing presence among us. We are called to be the reality that God is indeed doing something new in our midst and that we are challenged to think outside the box and bring our friends in need into Christ's healing embrace.


We were thrilled to be working with Paul & Marion at Barrington Pottery once again, their journey has been remarkable. From humble beginnings to becoming a successful team working out of the majestic Barrington Court. The next step for the Barrington Pottery website was for it to become a responsive, mobile-friendly application.
We migrated the older Opencart system to the most recent version (2.0.3.1), installed a premium theme and tweaked thoroughly!
Appearance is everything in website land and EDSA Designs did a grand job on creating ours. The site has already generated a lot of good reviews, and we will certainly be recommending their services to others that wish to make an impression with their websites.

Трайко Кузов Данданов е български революционер, деец на Вътрешната македоно-одринска революционна организация.

Биография
Данданов е роден в 1872 година в костурското село Горенци, тогава в Османската империя, днес Корисос, Гърция. Баща му Кузо (Козма) е председател на новосформираната българска община в Горенци в  1897 година, а брат му Григор е първият български учител в селото в 1888 година. Заедно с братовчед си Никола Данданов, Трайко е сред най-активните членове на Горенската българска община.

В 1902 година Трайко Данданов е в четата на Христо Чернопеев, а по-късно във върховистката чета на полковник Анастас Янков. В 1903 година по време на Илинденско-Преображенското въстание е в четата на Митре Влаха. След въстанието емигрира в Свободна България и се установява във Варна. В началото на 1904 година се завръща в Костурско и става районен войвода в Пополето. През юни същата година е заловен и осъден на три години затвор.

Данданов излиза от затвора в 1906 година заедно с тримата си другари и се опитва да отвори затвореното след въстанието българско училище в Горенци, но без резултатно. През есента на 1907 година няколко албанци, подкупени от гръцкия комитет, го нападат - Трайко оказва съпротива, като убива един от нападателите и ранява двама, но самият е тежко ранен и скоро умира.

According to Wikipedia, "Big data is collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications." In simpler terms, Big Data is a term given to large volumes of data that organizations store and process. However, it is becoming very difficult for companies to store, retrieve and process the ever-increasing data. If any company gets hold on managing its data well, nothing can stop it from becoming the next BIG success!
The problem lies in the use of traditional systems to store enormous data. Though these systems were a success a few years ago, with increasing amount and complexity of data, these are soon becoming obsolete. The good news is – Hadoop has become an integral part for storing, handling, evaluating and retrieving hundreds of terabytes, and even petabytes of data.
Opportunities for Hadoopers are infinite – from a Hadoop Developer, to a Hadoop Tester or a Hadoop Architect, and so on. If cracking and managing BIG Data is your passion in life, then think no more and Join Edureka's Hadoop Online course and carve a niche for yourself!

A DTD can be declared inline in your XML document, or as an external reference. It also provides an application which is an independent way of sharing data. With a DTD, independent groups of people can agree to use a common DTD for interchanging data. We can use a standard DTD in our application to verify that data that you receive from the outside world is valid. We can also use a DTD to verify your own data.

Van Staden was born in Pretoria, South Africa, where his passion for cooking was awakened while assisting his Italian grandmother in the kitchen at age seven. At 14, Van Staden was learning the craft at a local French restaurant while his father thought he was out playing rugby.
Upon high school graduation, Van Staden sold his car to purchase airfare to North America where, in 1990, he landed a job cooking at the South African Embassy while attending L'Academie de Cuisine in suburban Maryland. Van Staden's first professional role as a trained chef was at the historic Occidental Grill & Seafood in Washington, D.C. a popular spot among power brokers within walking distance to the White House. Before long, he became Sous Chef at the Jean-Louis in the Watergate Hotel, the first U.S. restaurant opened by legendary, fearless French chef, the late Jean-Louis Palladin. The revered Palladin became a cherished mentor as well as a profound, lasting inspiration to Van Staden, who later served as Executive Sous Chef under another culinary master, Gray Kunz, at the Washington, D.C. branch of his renowned New York restaurant, Lespinasse. Here, Van Staden continued to refine his classical culinary techniques and exceptional skills.
In 1996, one of the U.S. Capitol's most influential restaurants, the California-French Citronelle, sought out Van Staden. He was appointed Executive Chef by leading chef and owner, Michel Richard. The distinguished Georgetown venue offered Van Staden the opportunity to incorporate contemporary influences into the restaurant's traditional French cuisine. But Van Staden was eager to take the leap and operate an establishment of his own, and he opened a casual Mediterranean restaurant called Cafe' Ole. He eventually returned to the Watergate Hotel to become Executive Chef, managing a 250 person team and $10 million food and beverage budget.
After several years, the lure of the culinary explosion electrifying and energizing the Las Vegas strip intrigued Van Staden, and he accepted the role of Executive Chef at the chic London Club in the Aladdin Hotel in 2000. It wasn't long before Andre Rochat, Las Vegas' original celebrity chef, convinced Van Staden to become Chef de Cuisine at Alize at the Top of the Palms, rated one of the top five restaurants in Las Vegas that later earned a Michelin Star.
After his illustrious five year tenure transforming and reimagining Celebrity Cruises' culinary footprint, Van Staden decided it was time to return to dry land, dock in one location, and launch the JVS Culinary Group. Today, the always imaginative, ever evocative, joyously innovative Van Staden and his talented team of experts are excited to offer you the highly anticipated 2941 Street Food.


The Jil Sander fall/winter 2017-2018 collection was shown with a bit of a surprise during Milan Fashion Week. The collection was focused on reproportioned silhouettes. There were tunic dresses that were cut to show off voluminous sleeves and tailored proportions.
The overall aesthetic of the collection seemed to be a bit dated due to the tailoring that defined big shoulders, but not so much the form of the women wearing the clothes. The outerwear was impressive, though again the shape of the coats was a bit off considering what is currently catching the eye.
The use of lurex could have been much more fantastic than it was; though the look of what was presented was nice, it will come up lacking in comparison to other collections. The appeal of the collection is not lacking and there is always someone interested in another point of view.
The aesthetic appeared to be elegant minimalism and a subtlety was seen throughout the looks. The show unveiled dresses with ribbed knit, abstract patterned silk dresses and even a pierced dress that held gathered material. Those pieces that did not echo as pieces from the past were gorgeous and interesting.
The Jil Sander fall 2017 ready-to-wear collection was practical and calm, an interesting difference from many of the other collections so that Jil Sander was placed in the center " just good. It seems odd, all things considered that the collection would look a bit '80s when the last few collections all featured slightly off silhouettes based on the way the fabric was used, but it was not wholly unflattering.
Even though only a few pieces of this collection were unflattering, it is more than was expected and this is throwing people for a loop. The saving grace is the ratio " the number of good dresses to bad " is fantastic; it is only that the bad are so jarring that they are even mentioned.
Amongst all of the other topics of conversation outside of the collections at Milan Fashion Week, we have to add in that Rodolfo Paglialunga is rumored to be leaving Jil Sander. Jil Sander and Rodolfo Paglialunga worked beautifully well for three years, but they do have a plan for his departure. It is expected that Lucie and Luke Meier will step in to replace Rodolfo Paglialunga.
Lucie Meier will be coming in from Dior, while Luke Meier, her husband is the designer and cofounder of the men's label OAMC. We will see the new direction that Jil Sander takes aesthetically and find out where Rodolfo Paglialunga will be. Either way, the Jil Sander brand will be making adjustments, and only the future shows will tell us how incredible or interesting that will be.


TJ Flute technical workshop - straight baritone saxophone?
On April 1st, not only did the Trevor James flute technical workshop record an audio spoof about a left handed flute, but they also devised and recorded an April fool about a straight baritone saxophone and posted in the many saxophone forums. Since being posted online it has outdone the left-handed flute audio in feedback and downloads! It is therefore only by request that we post an audio about a straight baritone saxophone on our flute page - and only because it is bound to put a smile on your face and let's face it, as musicians, a smile is so important!


Today I made some Hidden Treasure Muffins for The Boy to take to an afternoon tea tomorrow. He hasn't eaten all of them himself yet – but he's working on it!
Dinner tonight was made by The Boy (yay!) He put together his Bean Burrito mix and we ate it with some wraps from the fridge.
Years ago, when he was at Uni in another state and not looking after himself at all, I texted him instructions for making this dish. The idea being that he would at least have one meal a week that would feed his brain. Little did I know that he simply quadrupled it and ate the same thing every night, for months!
We always refer to it as his Burrito beans. It takes about 15 mins, tops, and costs $4 for two. No jokes.
In other news, today more bread was made. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this already, but we enrich ours by adding a few spoonfuls of ground, golden flaxseed to every loaf. Omega 3s donchaknow!
I also tidied up the freezer and realised there's some things in there that really should just be used. I've got a collection of frozen bananas, for example. So, sometime in the next few days, I think the frozen banana, soft serve ice cream will be made (and probably eaten).

FAQ Resources What is Basic Income?
Click here to download the basic income FAQ summary.
Click here to read an in depth report on basic income by the Citizens for Public Justice.
Why is Basic Income a good idea for Manitoba?
The same reason it's a good idea for everyone. Manitoba has a higher rate of poverty than the Canadian average and among the worst rate of child poverty. Poverty can be eliminated by ensuring all individuals have access to basic necessities. A guaranteed livable income means everyone can meet their needs, participate in society, and live with dignity!
Click here to read a 2018 poverty trends report by the Citizens for Public Justice.
Has Basic Income been tried before?
Yes, and with successful outcomes. There have been many basic income projects all over the world, including North America and even right here in Manitoba. Mincome was a basic income initiative that took place in Dauphin, and in other parts of Manitoba, in the 1970s. The data from the project was analyzed by Dr. Evelyn Forget, a healthcare economist in Manitoba and a member of our board. Research shows that during the time of Mincome, residents of Dauphin were healthier; hospitalization rates and visits to family doctors dropped by 8.5 per cent. High school enrolment and graduation increased significantly, particularly among young men. Young mothers stayed home longer with their children. (At the time of Mincome maternity leave was only 4-6 weeks.) See The Experiment That Could End Welfare by Evelyn Forget.
Don't we already have income supports?
There are different types of income supports, such as Old Age Security (OAS), The Canada Child Benefit, Employment and Income Assistance (EIA), Rent Assist, and disability benefits. There are a variety of complicated requirements to access these supports which involve considerable paperwork and long wait times. This can be detrimental to individuals, or families, who have urgent or unexpected needs. Existing income supports are conditional, often insufficient, and unpredictable leaving people unsure about how much they will get, or if they will be approved.
Doesn't Canada already help everyone in some way?
We have a type of basic income for seniors that has greatly improved quality of life compared to previous generations. We also have something similar for children under 18. However, for adults raising children, and driving current and future prosperity, there is very little income support. A job, a good work history and even a good education do not necessarily offer security in today's economy. The last and sometimes only resort, "welfare", is the opposite of basic income. With few exceptions, it provides too little, too late, with too many conditions. It produces stigma and suffering and it penalizes work. Welfare entangles workers, clients and other Canadians alike in an unhealthy, expensive and complicated trap. A basic income guarantee would encompass all Canadians under the same system.
How does a basic income guarantee make a difference?
With the security of a regular and direct basic income, all Canadians are free to manage their own, and their family's, unique circumstances much faster and more effectively than any bureaucracy can. People can better rebound from financial setbacks, balance changing employment and family care needs, protect their health, and recover from illness or injury. Parents can save and plan a better future for their children. Adults can have the freedom to go back to school or consider a career change without the fear and real risk of losing almost everything if it doesn't work out.
Basic income can prevent poverty. That means many expensive and often long-term consequences of poverty are avoided such as poorer health, lower success rates in school, and higher crime rates.
It doesn't just help individual recipients, it has a larger impact because it reduces excessive inequalities and human insecurities that are at the root of many societal problems. It fosters resilience and flexibility in a changing economy. It's good for cities struggling to create vibrant neighbourhoods and strong communities. It's good for democracy because as much as voting in elections matters, in our monetized society, we vote every day with our dollars for the kind of life we want. This is a vote that increasingly excludes many Canadians.
Surely a basic income guarantee can't solve everything?
No, it can't and shouldn't be expected to. Basic income does not lessen the need for labour laws that govern workplace conditions, protect contracts and support unionization, or the need for good economic policy. It does not diminish the value of other public services, such as health care, child care, and supports for people with disabilities, seniors, people who face historical disadvantage and newcomers to Canada. It is a powerful complement to help those systems get better, and can help existing income security measures. Some of these measures may be less needed with time, but remain important especially during a transition period. The legacy of past problems will not disappear overnight and other gradual transformations will unfold as this bold and practical social innovation matures.
If everyone has access to basic income, why would anyone work?
Basic income is meant to help ensure the meeting of basic needs: for the "wants" in life, income from other sources is necessary. The vast majority of people work to earn well beyond what they need for basics. By stabilizing financial security, basic income helps promote engagement in paid work of various kinds – with greater choice as to the type of work. It also enables people to balance work in the labour market with the valuable work they do outside the market for family, friends and community. For jobs that are comparatively unpleasant, employers may need to provide better working conditions, like raising wages and providing attractive benefits.
Basic income will only a small fraction of our nation's wealth, so yes, we can afford it. The Parliamentary Budget Office has provided a rough estimate at a national level, not including provincial cost savings. The more important question is "will we get value for our money?" Even conservative estimates of the indirect costs of poverty (e.g., in health care, remedial education, crime, social programs, and lost productivity) are far higher than the costs of actually bringing Canadians out of poverty. For the billions we are paying now, the result is increased poverty and social problems. A basic income guarantee can change that. It is an investment where we get something back for our money – a better standard of living and quality of life for all of us, a healthier population, less poverty, and greater trust and security in our society. Plus, it pays for itself. Basic income can be one of the great bargains of Canada's future!
There are a number of options and many practical considerations to explore. In the world of public policy, it is rare that everyone gets everything they desire, even in the case of a basic income that has advantages from so many perspectives. A basic income would provide sufficient income for individuals to live with dignity, based on means-testing. Everyone is entitled to it without discretion from caseworkers. Therefore, people can live in financial security, with autonomy and dignity.
What other terms do people use to refer to a Basic Income?
Basic income has many different names. In the past it has been referred to as a Guaranteed Annual Income (GAI), a negative income tax, Basic Income Guarantee (BIG), and Guaranteed Minimum Income (GMI).

No priority: Atlas future murky after WA government move
By Darren Gray
June 14, 2018 — 2.08pm
The future of struggling junior miner Atlas Iron has become even more unclear after it was advised by the West Australian government that it does not have a "priority right" to develop valuable export infrastructure at Port Hedland.
Shares in the miner, which have jumped more than 60 per cent in recent days after attracting the interest of mining billionaires Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest and Gina Rinehart, fell sharply on the news and eventually closed down 18.2 per cent at 3.6 cents. A massive number of Atlas shares, nearly 880 million, changed hands on Thursday.
The WA government also advised Atlas, an iron ore miner with operations in the Northern Pilbara region, that two proposed new port berths at Port Hedland associated with an Atlas joint-venture project known as North West Infrastructure (NWI), now stalled, would be set aside for junior miners.
While Atlas didn't release a WA government definition of "junior miner", nobody in WA mining circles has been arguing that the description could apply to either Fortescue Metals Group, or Hancock Prospecting, meaning the ruling could have ramifications for the two companies if they have hopes of acquiring extra port capacity via this future project.
Atlas emerged from a trading halt on Thursday and told the market it had received correspondence from the office of WA Transport Minister Rita Saffioti that implied it didn't have a "priority right" to develop two berths at the port of Port Hedland.
Ms Saffioti advised Atlas the Pilbara Ports Authority would assess any application by the NWI joint venture to develop Stanley Point berths 3 and 4 on its merits in line with standard port development processes.
Atlas said it considered the letter from Ms Saffioti "contrary to the previous stated position of the Western Australian government". It said it was now considering its position.
The battle for Atlas came up in question time in the WA state parliament on Thursday, with opposition mines and petroleum spokesman Bill Marmion quizzing Ms Saffioti about what exactly was a junior miner.
"What's the definition of a junior miner? Is Mineral Resources a junior miner, (is) FMG a junior miner, Hancock Prospecting?" Mr Marmion asked.
To which Ms Saffioti responded: "I'm not going to add to further speculation and further activity out there in the stockmarket."
Ms Saffioti also said NWI did not have exclusive rights to develop the two berths at Stanley Point, adding that this position was no different to that of the previous WA government.
Ms Saffioti said NWI was asked over many years "to prove up the proposal, that didn't happen".
She also said: "Nothing moved and as a result that exclusivity has been taken away."
According to some mining industry observers, the potential extra port capacity at Port Hedland via the Atlas joint venture project is a key reason for Mr Forrest and Mrs Rinehart's interest in Atlas.
Mr Forrest's Fortescue Metals Group last week bought a 19.9 per cent stake and days later Mrs Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting said it had acquired a 19.96 per cent "aggregate beneficial and economic interest" in the company. Both mining magnates have stopped just short of hitting the 20 per cent threshold that would compel them to make a bid for all of Atlas' shares.
