Leading Team BC into the Opening Ceremony in Red Deer will be Fin Williams (North Vancouver) of men's hockey.
Williams was drafted 54th overall in the 2018 Western Hockey League entry draft. He is currently the assistant captain for his Burnaby Winter Club Academy Midget Prep team. An honour roll student, he also volunteers at Covenant House helping organize donations for kids at risk in Vancouver.
The ceremonial uniforms for Team BC have also been unveiled and include a scarf designed by Indigenous contemporary artist, Jamin Zuroski. The 2019 Winter Games Team BC totem is comprised of three Indigenous West Coast totem figures: the Eagle, Bear and Orca. As well as the scarf, Zuroski's design is incorporated into a totem puzzle pin for all athletes, coaches and support staff. Other winter gear includes jackets, shirts, toques and mittens. See the full uniform and pin package here.
Team BC finished third behind Quebec (141 medals) and Ontario (111 medals) at the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George with 88 medals - 21 gold, 34 silver, and 33 bronze.
Many high-level athletes have launched their athletic careers through the BC Games and Team BC. At the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Games, 19 Team BC alumni were part of Team Canada. 2018 Olympic medallist in bobsleigh, Justin Kripps (Summerland), is the Honourary Captain for Team BC for these Games and is an alumnus of the 2005 Canada Summer Games.
Minister Lisa Beare – Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture
"Competing at the Canada Winter Games is an exceptional athletic achievement," said Lisa Beare, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture. "The national stage showcases the talent, dedication and spirit our athletes, coaches and staff have in sport and it gives all of us the opportunity to show our support and cheer them on."
Jennifer Scott, Team BC - Chef de Mission
"I can't tell you how proud I am to lead a group of dedicated athletes, coaches and sport staff to the 2019 Canada Winter Games. We have done all we can to prepare our team. Now it's their turn to put all that practice into competition. I'm excited to watch our team perform at the Games."
Justin Kripps, Olympian and Team BC Honourary Captain
"Canada Games is the experience of a lifetime. It will probably be the biggest event these athletes have been to at this point. They have a lot of people they are representing back home but I just advise them to enjoy the experience, go out there and do their best.
Fin Williams, Team BC – Opening Ceremony Flag Bearer
"I've really wanted to make this team for a long time. It means a lot to me and my family. It's an event that's bigger than hockey. I just want to say to all of my teammates in hockey and outside of hockey to be grateful and make the best of every opportunity at the Games!"

LETTERS – Don't be demoralised, get organised at work instead
When unions organise and take action, they recruit new members (Pic: Socialist Worker)
It is easy to get demoralised with politics in Britain given the strength of the populist right and the weakness of the Labour Party.
However there is no evidence that, as a result, there is hostility to trade unionism.
From my own experience in the GMB union, I have noticed increasing support.
Recently the GMB has won trade union recognition at Paccor, a large packaging manufacturing company in County Durham.
This is despite the difficulties organising as a result of the Covid-19 crisis.
In the summer the company tried to cut overtime working and introduce a system of banked hours, which would have resulted in big pay cuts for many workers.
The GMB only had three or four members in the factory at the time.
Our trade union branch was approached and asked if we could help.
We acted quickly and considerable effort was put into recruitment both inside and outside the factory gates, using both leaflets and one to one discussion.
Whilst one of the full-time organisers played a very effective role, it was rank and file members who really got the ball rolling.
Within a few weeks more than two thirds of the shop floor workforce had signed up to the GMB. The company then agreed to recognition.
So what lessons are there for trade unionists and socialists?
Despite a hostile political climate, workers will join trade unions if asked and they feel that it will make a difference.
Furthermore, wasting your time and energy on trying to pass resolutions in the Labour Party or jockeying for positions in Constituency Labour Parties is fruitless.
By contrast building trade union organisation can bring real benefits to the working class.

Supermarkets have a way to go on anti-racism
The impact of Black Lives Matter (BLM) is all over our TV screens.
If you watch broadcast TV you won't have missed the supermarket Xmas adverts featuring black families.
This is to be welcomed after the backlash from the racist corners of social media.
However, a quick look at the board of Sainsbury's shows there aren't quite so many black faces—I counted one.
So the supermarkets have a long way to go.
But ultimately black faces in high places—or on our TV screens—is not going to eradicate racism.
The same street power that fuelled BLM is the force that will really make lasting change.
We have to get rid of the unequal society that supermarkets and other corporates represent—the capitalist system that birthed racism in the first place.
Gary McFarlane, North London
Engels showed oppression isn't natural
I would like to add to Sarah Bates' excellent article about Frederick Engels (Socialist Worker, 2 December).
Engels' short book, The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, provided an indispensable approach for Marxists.
It rejects a form of biological reductionism about women's oppression and the view that women have always been in an inferior position to men.
Although much of the data Engels relied on is outdated, his key propositions remain valid.
Crucially he argues that human beings lived in egalitarian pre-class societies. And that "the world historic defeat of the female sex" occurred as a consequence of changes in the way humans produced their living.
These changes led to the monogamous family, the rise of classes and the state.
This view, once widely accepted amongst Marxists, is now being rejected.
This opens up the door to explanations that rely on women's reproductive capacity as the key determinant of women's oppression.
Sheila McGregor, East London
Jingoistic vaccine lie
Tory hypocritical bullshit plumbs new depths.
Having delivered us never-ending helpings of Eton Viral Mess at a cost of 75,000 lives, Tory ministers are now proclaiming that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine represents a major British triumph.
The reality is that the science was pioneered and developed by two dedicated oncologists, Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Tureci.
Their families migrated from Turkey to Germany 50 years ago in pursuit of a better life.
Ugur's father was a "gastarbeiter" at the Ford plant in Cologne.
If Matt Hancock and Gavin Williamson had anything to do with it, neither of these brilliant scientists would have been allowed to cross the Turkish border.
John Murphy, Stockport
Put at risk for profit
I am very worried about the news from the US.
It's expected that there will be a "surge" of Covid-19 cases following Thanksgiving.
Meanwhile our government thinks it's a good idea for us to mix over Christmas.
They just want to make sure that Christmas spending goes ahead, regardless of how many more of us will die as a result.
Linda Barrett, Sheffield
Unacceptable face of system
We're seeing what used to be known as "The unacceptable face of capitalism" (We're made to pay the price of an ugly system, 2 December).
Thanks to Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and others all the restraints, protection and checks have been removed.
Government has forgotten its role is to care for the population it's supposed to serve, and has allowed, and encouraged, greed and asset stripping.
Alan Kingston, On Facebook
Is Starmer the new Stalin?
Apparently the general secretary of the Labour Party has written to all local parties telling them they are banned from discussing Jeremy Corbyn's loss of the party whip in parliament.
Readers may recall that Stalin tried to ensure that Leon Trotsky was a non-person.
It is marvellous to see where the Labour leadership draws its inspiration from.
Terry Ward, Essex
Should cops be defunded?
We need to defund the police (Troublemaker, 2 December).
Andres Viveros, On Facebook
Yes and then people will be afraid to go out for fear of violence.
Defunding won't solve any problems they'll only make it worse.
Walter Nicholson, On Facebook
Defunding doesn't mean abolition.
It's the channelling of funds to other important community support organisations, better suited to dealing with certain issues than the police are.
Jo Hudson, On Facebook
Don't forget the prisoners
The government says vulnerable people will be first in line for a Covid-19 vaccine.
But there is no mention of prisoners—a highly vulnerable group.

Forgery: Fani-Kayode contradicts self, denies arrest, says EFCC granted him 'bail on self-recognition'
Posted On : November 24, 2021 Published By : Usman Issa
Controversial ex-Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has denied that he was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Lagos on Tuesday, even as he said the anti-graft agency granted him "bail on self-recognition".
Fani-Kayode made the contradictions in a two-part tweet after his arrest by the EFCC. According to different online sources, bail is the temporary release of an accused person awaiting trial after the arrest of such person.
Tweeting via @realFFK, he wrote, "I was never arrested by the EFCC. I was invited & I flew down to Lagos to see them. I arrived in their office at 2.00pm & left at 8.30pm. I was granted bail on self recognition. They were very polite & professional. Thanks be to God."

"I pity those that said I was arrested. They are filled with hate & live on fake news. Since when did an invitation & a friendly chat become an arrest? And even if I had been arrested, SO WHAT? I am not above the law & neither does joining APC give me immunity. My God is MIGHTY!" he added.
Fani-Kayode was said to be under investigation for alleged forgery and manipulation of documents.
It was gathered that the ex-minister, who re-joined the All Progressives Congress in September, was brought to the Lagos Zonal Office of the anti-graft agency on Tuesday.
The details of the allegations against him were sketchy but the EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed Fani-Kayode's arrest by operatives.
Fani-Kayode had been having a running battle with the EFCC for some time and he was once remanded for 67 days in 2016 alongside a former minister of finance, Nevada Usman.
The duo and two others were facing a 17-count of criminal conspiracy, fraud and money laundering to the tune of N4.9 billion.
They denied the allegations, and each of them was later granted N250 million bail.

Documentary Reveals Small Town "UFO Capital of the World"
Remember Mark Borchardt, the Milwaukee filmmaker whose struggle to produce a short horror film was the subject of the award-winning documentary American Movie? Mark is back, this time with a documentary about a UFO festival that's been happening here in the backyard of Cult of Weird HQ for decades.
2018 marked the 30th anniversary of UFO Daze. The gathering began in the 1980s after residents of the unincorporated community of Dundee, Wisconsin decided they should get together to discuss the bizarre phenomena they had been experiencing in the area.
Bill Benson, owner of Benson's Hide-A-Way on the shore of Long Lake, has been keeping track of alien encounters in the area since crop circles appeared on a neighbor's farm in 1947 when he was a child. Since then, he has personally witnessed his own share of unexplained activity over Long Lake and around nearby Dundee Mountain. He hosts the annual gathering, and has converted his tavern into a shrine to little green men.
Borchardt's film The Dundee Project is the result of years of filming at UFO Daze, from 2001 through 2007 or 2008. The film includes interviews with some of the area's most fascinating characters.
The Dundee Project made the film festival rounds last year, and is now available to order on DVD and digital download from the Found Footage Festival website right here.

GARR, What we do, What we have, To Know Us, GARR-X, Network
National Digital infrastructure
The GARR network interconnects at ultra-high capacity universities, research centres, libraries, museums, schools and other education, science, culture and innovation facilities.
The fibre optic infrastructure is based on leading-edge telecommunication technologies and covers more than 15.000 km of backbone and access links.
As of today, the capacity of single backbone links reaches 100Gbps, while access links can reach 40 Gbps depending on the connected site's bandwidth requirements. Thanks to the ample scalability of the technologies we use, such capacities can easily evolve with the users' demands and the first 100Gbps access link will be available soon.
Last update: November 2022
The network's features entail very low transmission delays, thus it is ideally suited not only for transferring very large amounts of data, but also for real-time data transmissions and HD audio-visual communication.
High capacity and coverage
With more than 100 Points of Presence distributed throughout the national territory, the GARR network provides symmetric, high-capacity connectivity and advanced services to more than 1.000 user sites including universities, music conservatories and art academies, research centres, laboratories, observatories, museums, libraries, schools and more.
As the infrastructure is almost entirely based on fibre optics and managed in-house by GARR, it is possible to swiftly respond to the user community's latest requirements by upgrading links and adding new ones without interfering with the network's global performance.

I have stocked up on some castor oil for my edges too. I've been diligent with the mixed one so using the undiluted version isn't a problem. I want to end the year well so I'll be deep conditioning more often- especially twice a week until I'm satisfied with moisture content and level in the hair.
I've also set my eyes on a moisturizer at last. The ors intense moisture cream again. The last time I bought it, I didn't enjoy it so much due to the smell (pregnancy hormones at play). This is the time to revisit it and get the benefits.
As for oils, I have about 6 different types so I'm OK. For deep conditioners, I have 3 now and want to add 2 protein based ones-the aphogee 2 minutes reconstructor and Vitale hair mayonnaise. That should be enough for the coming year.
For leave ins, I have two and will be getting some two local ones.
I have renpure cleansing conditioner and the sheamoisture yucca and baobab shampoo plus ors Aloe shampoo so I may just add one more of the Aloe shampoo plus a local one for the coming year.

How to Deal with School Drama in Elementary School
Students in elementary school might be young, but it doesn't mean that they get to escape from the school dramas. One day your kid is being best friend with someone, the next day they can fight and no longer being friends. Sometimes this kind of fight can fizzle out, sometimes it can last as long as the friendship goes.
From friendship, to a small crush, and even jokes that get out of the line, school drama also happens to students in elementary school. Whether you're a parent to an elementary student who are involved in a drama or if your kids are an elementary student who gets tired with their friend's drama, here's how to deal with school drama in elementary school.
1 1. Avoid interfering if possible
2 2. Avoid getting too carried away
3 3. Avoid being too defensive
4 4. Do give advice to your kids
5 5. Do blend in with other parents
1. Avoid interfering if possible
Sure it's hard for parents to just step back and let their kids handle difficult matters by themselves. As parents, only watching our kids struggle bothers us a lot cause we want to get involved, to offer some help, and fixing our children's problem.
However, if the drama that happens are just an ordinary problem, avoid interfering too much. So long as it is not something like threats or bullying, learn to trust your kids and let them learn from experience. Give them the tools to deal with this kind of situation, by giving advice and support. Make your kids believe in their own capabilities of problem solving. You may also find out about Why Is There So Much Drama in High School? School Life and How to Get Off of It!
Children needs to be able to stand up for themselves, and said the words that needs to be said. Children needs to be confident enough to walk away from someone who doesn't know how to treat them properly. Children needs to learn to tell someone how they want to be treated.
2. Avoid getting too carried away
Some parents can get overly emotional when it comes to matters related to their children. Nevertheless, make sure not to lash out and fight, whether towards the teacher or other fellow parents in the school.
Keep in mind that the problem might not be as serious as the way your kids told you, and keep the state of being cool-headed in facing the school drama. When you're being emotional, this might cause your kids to learn that emotional outburst is normal while facing a problem. Remember that your kids take after you, and learn from the example that were given by you. You may also find out about How to Get a Boyfriend in Middle School in One Day!
3. Avoid being too defensive
Kids that got used to their parents taking their sides, tend to grow up as a spoiled and selfish human being. These kids may got used to playing victim for their advantage, and we as parents sure don't want our kids to grow that way. This is why it's important that even since our kids are still in elementary, us as parents should learn to see the two sides of every drama.
Don't directly call the school, or call another parent to blame their children. All this can create even bigger problem, and you can't overlook the possibility that your kids may share stories that makes them look more innocent and not guilty. Us parents are not present in school all the time like our kids do, so we have no idea what actually happened. Be objective, and avoid having problems with teachers or other parents. You may also find out about How to Get a Boyfriend in Middle School If You're Shy
4. Do give advice to your kids
Constantly remind your kids, that it is best to solve a problem with calmness. Remind your kids that they can ignore and avoid negative behavior. Remind your kids that they don't have to face it everyday. Remind your kids that they doesn't have to tolerate bad treatments all of the time.
Let your kids know that when someone treats them wrongly, it is okay for your kids not to befriend them. It's not okay to be mean or influencing their friend to hate the same person, but it's okay to be a little more ignorant. Your kids should respect everyone, but they don't have to like everyone. You may also find out about Ways to Get Any Girl You Want in Middle School
Furthermore, remind your kids that they shouldn't fuel the fire to any drama nor take revenge towards their friend. Make your kids believe in their own power, and believe that they have a voice to speak up when things got worse. What we should remember as parents though, is that these advice may not always be taken.
Children might act differently than the advice given, but as they grow up and getting used to deal with relationship, difficult people, bad or mean words, they will be able to learn to determine themselves what is the best solution.
5. Do blend in with other parents
To keep track of your kids, without monitoring your kids or being too possessive, joining other parents can be a good idea. This helps you to keep updated to school's event, and help your children to befriend others way easier. By having a community with parents, it is also easier for you to see, whether your children's drama is pretty severe that your interference is needed.
Furthermore, your kids are also learning from you as their role model, and from seeing that you have a positive social relationship with other parents, your kids can also learn about a good social skills. Knowing your kids' friends from their parents is also a good way to see their perspective, and each kids' character.
This helps you to choose what and how to give advice to your kids. Don't worry about sharing with other parents. Since other parents are also learning to be a good parents, and it is a learning process that would be easier to be faced together. You may also find out about How to Get Your Crush to Talk to You at School?
Those are some ways on how to deal with school drama in elementary school. Every kids goes through a drama at least once in their life, it is a part of life and growing up, so don't worry too much. Learn to get to know your kids more, and avoid being too judgmental in order to encourage them to tell you everything honestly.
Try being understanding about what they want, what they feel, and how they are going to handle the problem. Let kids learn from experience, and they will become a stronger and more mature human as they grow up.

Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid Rrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooock!!!!!
This list is crap, they left off Paul McCartney, who plays more instruments than any artist in the last 100 years. He plays over 40.
price played 100000 instruments
but no this list isnt crap, many of these musicians DO play all those instruments
so 1 musician wasnt included lol theres prob dozens who werent
I know Greenwood plays dozens of instruments
scores films
writes songs
COMPOSES all of radioheads masterful material
puts it all together
is also a programmer (video games, VISUAL arts)
prob more then mccartney does
Greenwood is a
1) composer 2) musician 3) songwriter, 4) multi-instrumentalist 5) visual artist 6) programmer/coder.
that means MORE then just playing lots of instruments
what about john entwistle
among many others.

I think it's a joke that routinely the band with the greatest ensemble of instrumentalists doesn't make these goofy list, especially when Kurt Cobain, Tom morello are always listed as great guitars players but Steve Howe of YES is left off the lists I believe it make any such list as suspect at best. While bassist Chris Squire is usually recognized, Rick Wakeman is frequently left off as are drummers Bill Buford & Alan White and to not include Lead Singer Jon Anderson

Twenty Film Legends We Misplaced in 2022 | Tributes
OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN by Nell Minow
"She was ideally solid because the candy, confused Sandy, singing about holding fingers and consuming lemonade. And that is why her transformation on the finish, with these iconic skin-tight leather-based pants, is such a shock. We'd disapprove for a lot of causes. of a lady altering her character and pretending to be "quick" to get a boy, however one way or the other we all know she's nonetheless candy Sandy (and resiliently wholesome Olivia) at coronary heart. The poppy love track as they dance by means of the Funhouse and the automobile flying into the clouds offers the top a reassuring wink."
NICHELLE NICHOLS by Odie Henderson
"Lt. Uhura was a fictional black lady in house, at a time when there have been no individuals of coloration and no girls in house for actual. She was modern, clever, witty and ran a management panel with beautiful fingernails unfit for pushing buttons. She left an impression on us youngsters —what harmless romances we had!—and he or she was performed by Nichelle Nichols. Nichols portrayed Uhura for the run of the sequence, and for the primary six "Star Trek" theatrical movies that adopted. For any Black youngster, or little woman generally, with desires of being an astronaut, Uhura made the thought a chance, an aspiration that may not be as far off as we thought."
BOB RAFELSON by Peter Sobczynski
"As a author, director, and producer, he contributed to a few of its most notable movies, he helped make the profession of one of the crucial beloved film stars of all time, and he was even a key determine behind one of the crucial profitable pop teams of their period. He was a real Renaissance man of standard tradition, and the consequences of his contributions can nonetheless be seen, felt, and heard as we speak."
IVAN REITMAN by Peter Sobczynski
"Regardless of the large reputation of the movie, Reitman's contributions to the venture have all the time tended to be underestimated when it's mentioned. In contrast to his earlier movies, which had been comparatively modest in dimension, finances and ambition, 'Ghostbusters' was a really costly proposition that attempted. to combine collectively two issues that did not essentially go collectively simply—complicated particular results and broad humor."

Before embarking upon an investigation into the therapeutic powers of Vitamin C, a summary of some of the technical language and constituents involved in the formulation of various products is provided which may prove useful to the consumer and professional alike.
Chemical formulae and biochemical pathways are not engraved in stone upon the brains of scientists, at least not upon that of the author. Even after many years and advanced courses in biochemistry, physiology, etc., these pathways fade from memory unless in constant use. And, with the incredibly rapid advances in knowledge occurring in science and medicine, much material may simply be new and not have been taught during one's formal training. These formulae are presented here as aids in understanding as well as a handy reference tool.
Vitamin C, also known as L-Ascorbic acid, L-xyloascorbic acid, 3-oxo-L-gulofuranolactone (enol form), L-3-ketothreohexuronic acid lactone and antisorbutic vitamin, has the chemical formula C6H8O6 and a molecular weight of 176.12. This 6-carbon molecule is structurally very similar to the sugar D-glucose (Fig. 1), a point of significance which will be addressed when considering the mode of action and mechanisms underlying Vitamin C's therapeutic effectiveness with diabetes and heart disease.
Humans, non-human primates, guinea pigs, the red-vented bulbul (an Asian bird), the Indian fruit-eating bat, rainbow trout and Coho salmon are the only animal species lacking the complete enzymatic machinery to synthesize Vitamin C. It has been shown that humans and guinea pigs lack the enzyme gulonolactone oxidase, which oxidizes l-gulonolactone to 2-keto-l-gulonolactone. This, then, is the 25-60 million year old evolutionary accident spoken of earlier which has deprived humans and these other animals of their ability to synthesize their own Vitamin C. Whether, as genetic engineering techniques become more refined in the future, it may become feasible to re-introduce this enzyme back into human cells, must remain a subject beyond the scope of this book, however fascinating and intriguing an idea.
Preparations of Vitamin C are frequently obtainable as salts of ascorbic acid, commonly as sodium or calcium ascorbate. Sodium (calcium) ascorbate is prepared from ascorbic acid and sodium (calcium) carbonate by controlled precipitation in dilute acetone or alcohol(184). Ester-CR ascorbate, prepared totally in aqueous solutions, has not, therefore, been exposed to these toxic chemicals.The more neutral pH and buffering power of ascorbate salts compared with ascorbic acid is frequently cited as a superior attribute of ascorbate products; the heatedly debated controversy recommending ascorbate salts over ascorbic acid and vice versa, and the advantages and claims of each of these products will be addressed in Chapter 11.
The form of Vitamin C sold under Tradename Ester-RC refers to a composition of Vitamin C, normally an ascorbate salt, which also contains at least one of Vitamin C's naturally-occurring metabolites, ie one of the aldono-lactones or edible salts of l-threonic, l-xylonic and l-lyxonic acids(146). The manufacturing process of Ester-CR ascorbate is unique in that all reactions are carried out with aqueous solutions (water) and there is no use of organic solvents (acetone, alcohol) as in previous methods of ascorbate precipitation. The presence in significant quantities of metabolites in Ester-CR accounts for superior absorption and retention properties compared to ascorbic acid and ascorbates(229).

Brendan Barber won't be missed
Without prior warning, Brendan Barber, the TUC general secretary, has announced he will retire later this year. Barber is only the 9th TUC general secretary since its formation in 1922.
He left university in 1974. A year later he joined the TUC as a policy officer, then worked his way up the TUC promotion ladder.
Throughout his 38 years there Barber has never built a union branch, led a strike or been elected by the membership.
Trade union leaders are at a distance from their members' working conditions—Barber's career shows how the TUC bureaucracy is even further removed.
He made no impact in the trade union movement—until the present pensions battle.
According to the TUC website Barber "led the organisation of the huge half million strong March for the Alternative in March 2011, and co-ordinated the negotiations and industrial action over public pensions on 30 November 2011."
This generous claim ignores his treacherous role in the dispute. In 2010 Barber wanted to invite government business secretary Vince Cable to address the TUC conference. The invite was rescinded after a mini-revolt by some union leaders.
Then last year Barber was exposed as holding secret talks with Tory ministers. His final act of betrayal was to push through the heads of agreement deal on pensions in December.
Barber knows his pensions sellout was the end of him, and that the two big unions—Unison and Unite, are building their own power bases in opposition to the TUC.
However John Cridland, head of the bosses' CBI, had this to say about him: "Brendan has been the rational face of trade unionism, showing an understanding of the pressures UK business face to remain globally competitive. Brendan's measured leadership has been very much in evidence in dispute resolution, particularly in the public sector".
Thanks Brendan—I guess it's the House of Lords for you and I'm sure your generous pension is safe.

NAD (акроним от New Acoustic Dimension) () — канадский производитель домашней звуковой аппаратуры, а именно усилителей звуковой частоты и AV-ресиверов, СD-проигрывателей и проигрывателей виниловых дисков, DVD и Blu-ray плееров.

Компания была основана в Великобритании (Лондон) в 1972 году Мартином Боришем. В 1991 году бизнес был перекуплен компанией AudioNord, а в 1999 году они вошли в состав компании Lenbrook Group of Pickering в провинции Онтарио, Канада.

NAD смогла предложить покупателям новый подход к Hi-Fi технике, который выразился в невысоких ценах на качественную технику, в оснащении аппаратов действительно необходимыми функциями, простым, но элегантным дизайном. Этому подходу компания остается верна и сегодня.

Так, отделом по разработке новой продукции уже много лет руководит легендарный аудиоинженер Бьорн Эрик Эдвардсен (Bjorn Erik Edvardsen), чьи инновационные разработки легли в основу многих уникальных технологий и моделей NAD, например таких как знаменитый продукт компании усилитель звуковых частот NAD 3020, созданный в конце 1970-х годов. Эта модель, как и некоторые другие, например NAD 314, признавались лучшими моделями года.

Инженерные решения производителя

Многие технические решения были предложены легендарным инженером Бьорном Эриком Эдвардсеном, который стал «лицом бренда», что отразилось в индексе «BEE» некоторых моделей фирмы, например NAD C315BEE.

«PowerDrive»
Отличительной особенность усилителя мощности NAD 314 является применяемая в технология «Power Envelope» (или «PowerDrive», или «класс G»), которая использует два источника питания, при этом источник питания, с более высоким напряжением, также подключаемый к выходному каскаду усилителя, запитывает его только при достижении усиливаемым сигналом некоторого порогового уровня, что в конечном счёте позволяет снизить рассеиваемую мощность выходными транзисторами усилителя. Дополнительные преимущества данной технологии заключаются в том, что усилитель может работать с акустическими системами с меньшим импедансом.

«Soft-Clipping»
Так как уровень выходного сигнала усилителя не может превышать напряжение питания, при высоких уровнях входного сигнала может возникать эффект так называемого «клиппинга» (clipping). Чтобы этого избежать, в некоторых моделях применяется схема «мягкого клиппинга» («Soft-Clipping»), которая «мягко» шунтирует вход усилителя мощности, при достижении на нём напряжения в 1 вольт, что снижает риск выхода из строя акустической системы, а также улучшает параметры выходного сигнала, в сравнении с выходным сигналом усилителя вошедшего в «клиппинг».

Who controls what's taught? Donation sparks debate over academic integrity
Western Carolina University's College of Business recently secured a $1 million donation from BB&T — but not before discerning faculty fought to loosen the strings that came with the donation.
Stipulations attached to the money — namely that business students be taught an ardent pro-capitalism philosophy — raised a red flag for many faculty. Professors took a stand in order to preserve the university's control over its own curriculum, and in doing so, sparked a debate about the influence of corporate dollars on campus.
More than 25 universities, including NC State and UNC-Charlotte, got a similar donation from the Winston-Salem-based BB&T Foundation. At most of the schools, the donation has come with several stipulations — universities have to set up a course of study focusing on the ideas of philosopher and author Ayn Rand, and make Rand's book, Atlas Shrugged, required reading.
BB&T CEO John Allison is a major Rand devotee. He discovered the philosopher in college and aims to spread her message through the bank's donations.
"It offers something other books don't: the principles that apply to business and to life in general. I would call it complete," Allison said of Atlas Shrugged in a New York Times article.
Rand's controversial philosophy that espouses capitalism above all else — called objectivism — has been both hailed and hated since her first major novel was published in 1943 (see related article). To many at WCU, though, the issue wasn't Rand's philosophy — it was allowing a private donor to dictate the curriculum.

"Among some faculty from a number of areas there was some concern as to whether or not the objectivist philosophy is something we ought to be teaching. I think that quickly got taken over by the thought that that's not the issue — the issue is whether or not by virtue of someone giving us money we should teach his particular point of view or subject matter," said Richard Beam, Chair of Faculty at the college.
When word spread of the proposed gift last April, some faculty were concerned. One in particular was Darryl Hale, a professor of philosophy.
"I felt like somebody needed to be a gadfly and raise these issues," Hale said.
After speaking with various faculty and receiving an estimated 40 emails in support of his stance, Hale became an unofficial spokesperson for those who questioned the donation.
"Many feel very strongly that curriculum is a faculty issue," Beam said of the opposition. "The idea that any donor could have conditions that effectively dictate specific textbooks or course content is something touchy to a lot of folks."
Nationwide, some say corporate donations that influence education are becoming more common — and that schools need to be wary.
"It is more and more of a trend. We don't think it's a good one, but unfortunately, this is occurring more and more frequently as we've seen funding for schools drop across the nation, be it K-12 or college level," said Tonya Hennessey, project director for CorpWatch, a corporate watchdog group based in Oakland, Calif. "We would always urge schools to tread very carefully in circumstances like this."
Faculty weigh in
In its agreement with the university, dated March 14, 2008, BB&T agreed to give WCU $1 million over seven years. Officials from the College of Business, aware that the bank had made donations to other schools, approached BB&T about the money because they wanted to establish an interdisciplinary business course, "designed for students to explore issues involving ethics, leadership and capitalism," said Ronald Johnson, Dean of the WCU College of Business.
In exchange for its donation, BB&T wanted "to impact the leadership, ethics and capitalism" curriculum, according to the agreement. Some of the ways it would do so proved to be a bone of contention with some faculty, who didn't become aware of the terms of the agreement until after it was already signed by university administrators.
The agreement called for the establishment of a new Distinguished Professorship of Capitalism. "The Professor shall work closely with the Ayn Rand Institute and have a reasonable understanding and positive attitude toward Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism," it stated.
This was a red flag for Hale and others, who wondered how the professor could be critical of Rand's philosophy if he or she was expected to hold it in a positive light.
"It is clear that s/he will have little academic freedom to analyze critically Rand," wrote Hale in an email to the chancellor, provost and deans.
There was also concern over the involvement of the Ayn Rand Institute. The organization seeks to further Rand's ideas, and is viewed by some as espousing radical right-wing viewpoints. Recent opinion pieces and articles on its Web site included "The Danger of Environmentalism," and "Animal 'Rights' and the New Man Haters." Faculty were cautious of the organization wielding too much power over the new curriculum.
"The concern was that there was an implication, whether intended or not, I can't say, that the Ayn Rand Institute would amount to a veto power as a selection of a faculty member for the professorship," said Beam.
Another concern lay with BB&T's requirement that Atlas Shrugged be required reading for at least one course, and that a free copy of the book be provided to all juniors.
"An outside influence that would require a certain book to be read would probably be detrimental to what we're about as an educational institution," said Leroy Kauffman, a WCU professor of accounting and former dean of the College of Business.
Many felt the choice of what book to use in a course should be left to the professor teaching it.
"The idea of an external agency mandating to me that I must include some material I find personally offensive," said Beam. "That wouldn't mean I wouldn't include it, but I want to include it as a matter of choice based on my expertise, directions and goals for the course."
Faculty brought their concerns to the university administration, which agreed to address them even though the agreement between the school and BB&T was already in place.
Chancellor John Bardo called for the creation of a faculty task force to study the matter. The task force met a number of times over the summer and came up with some changes to the terms of the donation that place the power to determine what is taught at WCU squarely in the hands of the faculty.
"We don't really look at it as a renegotiation, but rather as an effort to clarify some language that was unclear in the original agreement," explained Clifton Metcalf, the university's vice chancellor for advancement and external affairs.
The modified agreement makes no mention of the Ayn Rand Institute's involvement in the curriculum, instead stating only that the distinguished professor "shall maintain open communications with the Donor concerning his or her role within the College of Business and University and the implementation of the Gift Agreement."
Another change — faculty aren't required to use Atlas Shrugged, unless they want to. And the teaching of Rand's ideas must be accompanied by other viewpoints.
"The University will ask each faculty member ... to consider, in their sole and unfettered discretion, the assignment of portions of Atlas Shrugged and other writings from both pro-capitalist and anti-capitalist perspectives," the revised agreement states
"It moved (the teaching of Rand) from mandatory to being clearly at the option of the professor, which to me is a significant change," Beam said.
Faculty were generally pleased with the outcome.
"I think the way they worked it protects the interest of the donor and the integrity of the academic institution," said Kauffman.
Although the new agreement does little to ensure the teaching of Ayn Rand's ideas, the BB&T Foundation didn't seem to mind. BB&T CEO Allison signed the modified document on Aug. 13, and in an accompanying letter wrote, "we understand that these amendments do not change the fundamental purpose and intent of our contribution commitment."
The university officially announced the donation in November.
In the end, WCU was able to snag the money on its own terms, thanks to a group of faculty who stood up in defense of academic integrity.
Prior to BB&T's donation, there had never been a widespread debate at WCU over the influence of private donations on curriculum.
"It was not an issue that had risen to general knowledge and hence general discussion in quite the way it did with this particular grant," Beam said.
The university is now prepared if a similar matter arises in the future. A policy instated last month calls for "a process of faculty peer review of any gifts to Western Carolina University that might affect the curriculum."

Poole of discontent?
Four days into Patriots training camp 2003 and one of the team's biggest free agent signings, Tyrone Poole, isn't exactly thrilled with his situation.
Four days into Patriots training camp 2003 and one of the team's biggest free agent signings, based on bonus money anyway, isn't exactly thrilled with his situation. Veteran cornerback Tyrone Poole, signed this March to a four-year contract that included a $1.8 million signing bonus, is already a bit frustrated with his limited practice reps.
Through five training camp practices, and with last year's starters Ty Law and Otis Smith on the sidelines, Poole has seen limited action in time with the third defensive group. Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick has always cautioned against placing undue importance on practice grouping in terms of depth, but Poole for one has noticed the number of players stepping on the field before him. So far rookies Eugene Wilson and Asante Samuel have worked with the first unit, Ben Kelly and Antwan Harris with the second, while Poole, Leonard Myers and Dyshod Carter fill out the action.
"There's a lot more into it than actually performance wise," Poole said when questioned about the situation on his way off the practice field Saturday morning. "There is a lot of other stuff that I don't care to mention because I don't want to speak through the press. But hopefully things will be resolved and it will be for the good of everybody and life goes on."
Based on his experience and the amount of money the team has invested in the veteran, it isn't unrealistic that many expected Poole to step in for Law and Smith in practice, but it has been the pair of rookies that have seen the bulk of the early practice action. When questioned on that assumption in Saturday morning's press conference, Belichick focused more on what the rookies have done than what other players may be lacking.
"I would say that those two, Asante and Eugene, have gotten a lot of reps because they have been here for quite a long time, since the middle of May," Belichick said. "They've gotten a lot of opportunities, and the opportunities they have gotten they have done well with and taken advantage of. There's no reason not to keep giving them the reps, but I think everybody else is taking their turn too, other than the ones that are injured."
According to Poole, a 5-9, 188-pound corner out of Fort Valley State, this is the first time in his football career that he has been in the type of situation in which he currently resides.
"This is the first time for this," Poole acknowledged. "Like I said there are a whole lot of things that I could say, but I am not going to speak through the papers and the ink. Hopefully everything can be on the tail end ending up good for both sides. I will just show up every day until something else occurs and go from there."
Poole, a seven-year NFL veteran originally drafted in the first round of the 1995 NFL draft by the Carolina Panthers, did not participate in the Patriots offseason program after signing this spring. And while the veteran of 108 career games and 89 starts has plenty of experience to look back on in his quest to fit in with this defense, he admits that he isn't entirely mentally dedicated to the game right now.
"I am not totally focused because my family is not going to be here with me this year," Poole said. "So with the complex defense that they have here it's kind of a deterring thing to have half of your focus somewhere else and some of your focus in another place. But overall it's all right.
"It is kind of difficult when you are focused with your family, your concerns with your family, and things like that. The majority of the guys here, I don't know how many of the guys are actually married and have kids and things like that, but when that part of you is not going to be with you then it makes you reevaluate a whole lot of situations. For the single guys, they can make a transition anywhere, but if you are a family man and you've been with your family for four years and things like this happen it makes you reevaluate every situation that you are involved in."
Poole, who arrived in the area last Tuesday from his home in Atlanta, checks in with his family on a consistent basis, but he revealed that those calls don't always bring the comforting feeling that one might expect they would.
"[The calls] make it even worse," Poole said. "Just yesterday I tried to speak with my daughter, she's three, and I told my wife to put her on the phone and she said she didn't want to speak to me. She said, 'No daddy.' So it's like the kids feel it as well. You have to have that father figure, family intact."
Poole admitted that his current situation bears a resemblance to one from two years ago when he signed with the Denver Broncos. That season, feeling he couldn't leave his wife and two daughters, including one a newborn at the time, Poole retired from the game and was placed on a reserve/left squad list by the Broncos. Poole returned to play in 2002, starting four-of-16 games played in Denver and finishing with 55 tackles and 10 passes defensed.
"2001, I actually didn't play that season," Poole said. "That was one of the reasons because my family wasn't going to be with me. So I had to make a decision and I felt like I was needed more at home. Football is a series of revolving doors. Even the guys that they drafted this year, they are looking for guys to replace them next year. The NFL is a revolving door. You get the best out of it that you can and try to secure the foundations that you grow with, family, God our Lord and Savior. You try to concentrate on the things that you know are going to be there for you."
So has the thought of retirement crept back into Poole's mind this week?
"Like I said, I am just keeping an open mind. Anything can happen from here to next week and from here to tomorrow. Every second is opportunity to change, to make something that is going bad turn into good. But my focus is definitely…I have a little focus with my family and I have a little focus here. And that is kind of bad because here I am not able to put in the full work that I am required of. You come out sometimes emotionally drained and it's kind of tough. Only a family man would actually know."
Poole knows that from a football standpoint, and considering his seemingly somewhat precarious spot on the roster right now, that training camp should be the toughest part. But he also knows that in terms of seeing his family, nothing will change when camp breaks.
"Even if my family was here, regardless, I would still not be able to see them because of training camp. But it is a different story once training camp is over. Everybody else is going home to a family and I am going home to an empty house."


Believe it or not, between the last post and this one, I have spent all my "car time" getting the Morgan scuttle to fit a bit better (again) and then filling it so it wasn't a complete disaster. A bit more about that inside, but here's Reg the faithful MGB, and the XJS which was going to be a "quick sale" (and which I need to sell but have not found the time), and Goldie in her carport digs.
I had to make a shim for the dash support hoop to support the scuttle, in the end. Sigh.
I went through half a gallon of filler, with 90% (at least) sanded off. It all looks ok here, in the non-sanded matte primer coat, but I know there are a couple of small wows in the panel (at least). I'll wet sand this, re-coat, wet-sand again, and then put the dash back in and drive the chassis a bit before starting on the rest of the tub panel work.
Starting again, I'd risk a new scuttle panel rather than work with this beat-to-heck one, I think, and use it as THE guide for building the front part of the frame.

Q: We live in a '70s home with bookmatched wood panelling on the fireplace wall. We love our home, but would like to modernize the look without removing the panelling. Would it be possible to paint over the wood look?
A: The good news is that you can paint over your panelling, whether it is real wood or a wood-grained hardboard. This will give you a new look and a brighter room.
First, remove all switchplates and receptacle covers. If you have small children, it is wise to shut off the power to these areas while the covers are removed.
Wash the panelling thoroughly with a paint preparation cleaner and rinse well with clear water and allow to dry. Apply an all-purpose acrylic latex primer or a fast-drying all-purpose primer to the grooves and seams, being sure to cut into trim and ceiling first with the primer. You can then roller-coat the balance of the panelling, working top to bottom.
When the primer is dry, apply an acrylic latex finish in the colour of your choice.
We seem to have a foul odour coming from our kitchen sink and sometimes the bathroom vanity basin. We have tried various products, but nothing seems to help. Do you have a suggestion?

Earthjustice Statement: 2023 New York State of the State
Governor Hochul renews pledge for all-electric new construction, transition into zero-emissions future, highlighted investment in water infrastructure, and protections for impacted communities
Nydia Gutiérrez, Earthjustice
Albany, N.Y. —
Today, New York Governor Hochul delivered the 2023 State of the State address, which included numerous proposals to protect public health and the environment, and to address the climate crisis. Noteworthy items Governor Hochul included are proposals relating to all-electric new construction and building electrification, electrifying vehicles and hastening the adoption of electric vehicle infrastructure, lead in housing, community gardens, and toxic PFAS.
The following statement is attributed to Liz Moran, Earthjustice New York Policy Advocate:
"New Yorkers have been, and continue to be, on the frontlines of the climate crisis, detrimental health harms from pollution caused by use of fossil fuels, toxic exposure to lead and PFAS, and aging water infrastructure, which requires bold Government action. We applaud Governor Hochul for recognizing the need for action and beginning the process of developing a roadmap to address these issues in her State of the State, but it will be critical for the governor and the legislature to, in many cases, go above and beyond what has been proposed to ensure environmental justice, protect public health, and chart a truly zero-emissions future.
"While we eagerly await necessary details for these proposals, we are especially thrilled to see Governor Hochul renew her pledge to mandate all-electric new construction and move buildings off dirty, and expensive, fossil fuels — and closer to a zero-emissions future. We are also happy to see recommitments to investments in water infrastructure and addressing toxic PFAS, a proposal to proactively screen for lead paint in upstate housing, and proposals to increase and support community gardens. Earthjustice looks forward to working alongside the governor, the legislature, our partners, and impacted communities to build upon these proposals and have a landmark session and budget for our environment and climate."

"Climate action plans from across the world collectively send the message that fossil fuels are no longer blue chip investments."

The Roman Republic lasted as a representative government of Rome from 509 BC until the establishment of the Roman Empire, which is typically placed at 44 BC or 27 BC.
The city of Rome is located on the Tiber River very near the west coast of Italy. It was at the northernmost border of the territory in which the Latin language was spoken and at the southern edge of Etruria, the territory in which the Etruscan language was spoken.
The Romans observed two principles for their officials: annuality or the observation of a one year term and collegiality or the holding of the same office by at least two men at the same time. The supreme office of consul, for instance, was always held by two men together, who exercised a power of mutual veto over any actions by the other consul. If the Roman army took the field under the command of the two consuls they were to alternate days of command. Most other offices were held by more than two men - in the late Republic there were 8 praetors a year and 20 quaestors.
The dictators were an exception to annuality and collegiality, and the censors to annuality. In times of emergency (always military) a single dictator was elected for a term of 6 months to have sole command of the state. On a regular but not annual basis 2 censors were elected every five years but for a term of 18 months.
The Legion was the backbone of Roman military power.
The Romans were very much convinced that their city was found on the year 753 BC. Rome has often been said to have been started by Romulus and Remus.
The Foundation of the Republic - 509 B.C.E.
Livy's version of the establishment of the Republic states that the last of the Kings of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus (superbus, "the proud") had a thoroughly unpleasant son, Sextus Tarquinius, who raped a Roman noblewoman named Lucretia. Lucretia compelled her family to take action by gathering the men, telling them what happened, and killing herself. They then were compelled to avenge her, and led an uprising that drove the Tarquins out of Rome to take refuge in Etruria.
Lucretia's husband Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus and Lucius Junius Brutus were elected as the first two consuls, the chief officers of the new Republic. The Brutus who assassinated Julius Caesar was a descendant of the first Brutus.
The early consuls took over the roles of the king with the exception of his high priesthood in the worship of Jupiter Optimus Maximus at the huge temple on the Capitoline Hill. For that duty the Romans elected a Rex sacrorum or "king of holy things." Until the end of the Republic the accusation that a powerful man wanted to make himself king remained a career-shaking charge. Julius Caesar's assassins claimed after they acted that they were preserving Rome from the re-establishment of an explicit monarchy.
The people of Rome were divided into patricians and plebeians. These words have taken on such different connotations of wealth and ordinariness in modern English that they must be examined in their Roman context. The two classes were ancestral and inherited. One's class was fixed by birth rather than by wealth, and though patricians had in the early Republic monopolized all political offices and probably most of the wealth, there are always signs of wealthy plebeians in the historical record, and many patrician families had lost both wealth and any political influence by the later Republic. One could move from one to another by adoption, like the political operator Clodius in the late Republic, who managed to have himself adopted into a plebeian branch of his own family for political purposes, but it was rare. By the 2nd century BC the classifications had meaning predominantly in religious functions - many priesthoods were restricted to patricians.
The relationship between the plebeians and the patricians was sometimes so strained that the plebeians seceded from the city - literally left the city with their families and movable possessions and set up camp on a hill outside the walls. These secessions happened in 494, 450, and around 287 BC. Their refusal to cooperate any longer with the patricians led to social changes on each occasion. In 494, only about 15 years after the establishment of the Republic, the plebeians for the first time elected two leaders, to whom they gave the title Tribunes. The plebs took an oath that they would hold their leaders 'sacrosanct' or inviolate during their terms, and that the united plebs would kill anyone who harmed a tribune. The second secession led to further legal definition of their rights and duties and increased the number of tribunes to 10. The final secession gave the vote of the Concilium Plebis or "Council of the Plebeians" the force of law - we call this a "plebiscite".
The Social War - 90 - 88 B.C.E.
In 90 almost all of the Italian allies of Rome rebelled in what the Romans called the Social War (allies = Socii, related to the English "associates"). The allied cities in the Italian peninsula had sought for some time Roman citizenship and therefore more of a say in the external policy of the Roman Republic - most local affairs were self-governing and not as much of an issue as when the alliance would go to war and what the share of the proceeds would be. Rome undercut the military rebellion by extending citizenship to all of Italy south of the Po River and then spent two years defeating the cities still in arms. Sulla came to prominence as an officer in this war. Roman citizenship and the right to vote was limited, as always in the ancient world, by the requirement of physical presence on voting day. After 88 BC candidates regularly paid the expenses (or part of them) for their supporters to come to Rome to vote.
The Spartacist Rebellion - 73 - 71 B.C.E.
Large scale agriculture in the Italian peninsula came to depend on slavery and was rocked by a severe slave revolt led by Spartacus that lasted from 73 to 71 B.C.E.
Another Roman Republic was declared in Rome on February 9, 1849 by Carlo Armellini, Giuseppe Mazzini and Aurelio Saffi.
It was a brief experience, but soon (1860) Italy would be unified by the king of Sardinia, and later (1870) Rome too would be part of this kingdom.


Good oral skills. Children learn to speak clearly and to project their voice.
Self-Discipline – the process of moving an idea/script to a performance level requires perseverance and concentration.
Empathy – actors have to think about how someone else thinks and acts.
Drama puts children in exciting, funny, thought provoking and interesting circumstances – this helps them grow as a person, giving them enormous benefits that will stay with them long into adulthood.
