Where does the time go? Made me think about that good season we had a while back where we got 4th.
Was it a poor team that got lucky? I don't think so. For me it was down to a great team spirit, galvanised by the (first) departure of Wayne Rooney and the subsequent writing off of us bringing the team together even more - and also likewise for the fans. Precious little boos heard that season, and I was almost ever present.
On the other hand could it be argued that while clearly a team greater than the sum of its parts, there were some experienced players.
Could the current squad (and match goers) take anything from that period?
I'd argue that there was precious little booing as for the first half of the season we were consistently winning matches. There was precious little to boo about. At Christmas, we were 3rd and only 5 or 6 points off top. The 2nd half became a case of grinding it out to the end and hanging on in there. I'd say the only luck we had was getting 4th with such a low points total. 61 would not get you Champions League many other years. Have fond memories of that team, though. Hit on a system which worked and executed it perfectly, particularly before Xmas. Coming off the back of a 17th place finish and replacing the hottest prospect in world football at the time with £450k Marcus Bent, it was entirely unexpected. Sadly, wasn't built upon and the next season started disastrously.
Great season and played like a true team.
We were objectively and statistically lucky in that we had 61 points and -1 GD and still got 4th. That typically gets you 6th/7th which is probably an adequate reflection of how good we actually were.
Before Leicester i think its up there as one on the greatest come from no where stories ever. The season before we had finished the season with a 5-1 whopping by "Old City" at home and finished with the lowest points ever to stay up in the PL. Lost Rooney in the week before the transfer window closed with no time to spend the money and signed Bent and Cahill from the Championship. I remember going into a season feeling stung and had really low expectations. Rooney leaving had shattered the one hope we had and the narrative was he had to to be successful. Morale was at an all time low amongst fans. What happened over the season really was a miracle and defies logic.
I remember Carsley and Graveson being sublime. The latter getting a move to Real Madrid in January. Stubbs and Weir being brilliant and conceding nothing.
Its funny though i seem to remember the defeats rather then individual wins. I remember playing Spurs and Dean Marney scoring two goals to beat us never to be seen in professional football again and i remember the 7-1 defeat to Arsenal in our last game with the team clearly on the lash for the week. Duncs goal against Man U of course.
It really shows not everything is about money.
Good season,wasted summer of opportunity yet again by the board,one up front, Marcus Bent worked that season,but we have persisted with that for fourteen sodding years!!
Getting to the CL with Marcus Bent, Absolute top tier underdog stuff and I will never forgive Collina the corrupt bowling ball head.
Amazing first half of the season and whilst United at home and Liverpool at home were amazing, the stand out games you have to say were Bolton at home and Southampton away.
They absolutely epitomised what that team was about, togetherness, enthusiasm, determination and fight.
In a way, the current England squad remind me of our team then. No real superstars but togetherness which was worth so much more.
That year was the epitomy of our football club.
To actually get the success we needed and then completely bottle it half way through the season!
But that joy at the end of May 2005 was the best feeling since 1995, even though I was a little young too truly appreciate that. Least this time we believed things were on the up for us and those European dream matches were just a few months away.
Couldn't even enjoy it properly because they won the Champions League.
Can I pretend getting 5th in 2013 is better than 4th?
We was very lucky to finish 4th with just 61 points.
..I struggle to remember yesterday but if we came 4th we did well.
Bit of all of the above, losing Tommy G at Christmas took the wind out our sails a bit.
It might be said that Leicester did for a whole season what we did for half.
I have always said that above all else Evertonians love a trier! That team gave everything they had that season, hence zero booing. If Silva has them trying their hardest next season the boo's will vanish, just you watch!

What is Shiatsu Shin Tai?
Shiatsu Shin Tai expands on traditional Shiatsu massage to create an evolutionary system of diagnosis and technique that stimulates the flow of life force in the body. There is a focus on the evaluation and treatment of the two primary meridians, Governing Vessel and Conception Vessel. Shin Tai bodywork uses a powerful system of diagnosis, theory and technique that facilitates deep transformation. A unique synthesis of structural, fascia, meridian, and chakra technique, this therapeutic bodywork clears stress from the body, and naturally stimulates a balance of energy.
This evolving form of shiatsu has been developed by Saul Goodman. Saul is the founder and former director of the International School of Shiatsu, which has branches in over 15 countries, and the author of The Book of Shiatsu, Shiatsu Shin Tai and Light Body Activation. He has been traveling and teaching Shiatsu Shin Tai throughout Europe and the U.S. for almost 40 years.

The Annals of King T'aejo
Founder of Korea's Choson Dynasty
Harvard University Press 2014
Byonghyon Choi's new book makes a key document of Korean and world history available in English in a volume that will be tremendously useful for both scholarship and teaching. The Annals of King T'aejo: Founder of Korea's Choson Dynasty (Harvard University Press, 2014) translates an important excerpt from The Veritable Records of the Choson Dynasty, a historical record that documents important events and historical developments from the first 472 years of the Choson period in Korean history, into English. Compiled in 1409 and completed in 1413, the annals of King T'aejo - founder of the Choson Dynasty - include a wealth of information about both domestic and foreign affairs in the fifteenth century. Readers will find much of interest to inform broader histories of weather, animals, clothing, envoy relations, architecture, urban studies, family studies, and much, much more. A substantial volume of more than 1,000 pages, the translation can also be usefully excerpted for the purpose of teaching courses at all levels on the histories of Korea, East Asia, early modernity, and global history, among others. Enjoy!

Anna Holloway Review: 'West Side Story' at Lyric
by Anna Holloway
Published: Thu, July 27, 2017 5:20 PM Updated: Thu, July 27, 2017 5:30 PM
The cast of Lyric Theatre's West Side Story. [Photo by KO Rinearson]
The short version of this review: Go, see it. It's amazing.
It's not often that a 60-year-old show stands the test of time. "West Side Story" opened on Broadway in September 1957. Lyric has brilliantly re-staged this American classic, using the original choreography by Jerome Robbins, and giving Oklahoma City an evening of magic. It does not look or feel any older than last week.
Written by Arthur Laurents, with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by first-timer Stephen Sondheim, the show has garnered many awards and much acclaim, including in its 1961 film version. It's best appreciated live, with the audience breathing in the tensions and concerns of the ordinary kids from first generation Polish American kids and Puerto Rican immigrant youth. Taking its pattern from Shakespeare, the show gives us a window into the terrified energy of teenagers trying to fit into and manage a world not of their own making.
With a cast of 29, this is a big show. Almost all of them must be serious triple-threats: acting, singing, and dancing ability in equal and very large measure. The voices of the leads must be powerful and blend beautifully. And almost all of them have to be believable as teenagers.
The set must allow for quick movement from scene to scene; this is a longer musical and every second counts. The costumes must locate us in the 1950s without trapping us there, and they must read as real clothes while allowing the classical dance moves to read as dramatic expression.
Lyric's production checks all the boxes without stopping for a breath.
Directed by Matthew Gardiner, the production uses a unit set that evokes the old ethnically diverse — and troubled — Upper West Side in 1950s Manhattan. It rapidly and silently moves to specifics — a drugstore, a tailor shop, a bedroom — at the drop of a pin. Costumes, while evoking the period beautifully, do not leave us thinking that this is a 'period' piece — they have a strong sense of "present" in them. Jeffery Meek, himself a dancer, has made the wardrobe work with the extraordinary movement so that no movement is impeded or awkward in the outfit. Helen Kuukka's lighting evokes changes of day and time and sometimes of reality itself.
Bernstein's innovative music was delivered well by the supporting orchestra and by the cast of excellent singers, ably conducted by music director Jan McDaniel. The stunning choreography, Jerome Robbins' original work, brilliantly adapted for this set by Amy Reynolds-Reed, was groundbreaking in 1957, and it looks just as fresh six decades later.
Austin Colby as Tony gave us a solid acting job that was almost overshadowed by his extraordinary voice. The part has a wide range, and Colby glided smoothly from low to high without apparent register change. MaryJoanna Grisso as Maria delivered an achingly beautiful soprano with both fragility and power. Desiree Davar's Anita was bittersweet and gutsy.
The ensemble provided strong acting and singing and powerful dancing. Diction was precise and clear in the first half, although it got a little muddy in "I feel pretty" and "Officer Krupke" in the second half. Pacing overall was brisk; it does not feel like just over two-and-a-half hours.
The whole production was a beautiful tribute to a pioneering musical that reads as current and up-to-date — an amazing experience.
Show times include 7:30 p.m. Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday; and 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday at Civic Center Music Hall. For tickets and information, call 405-297-2264 or go to the website at http://lyrictheatreokc.com/shows/west-side-story/.

On June 18, 1944 she married Craig Stevens, an American actor, who was also under contract at Warner Bros. Their mutual friend and actor, Errol Flynn, was the best man at their wedding held at the Church of the Recessional, Forest Lawn. They remained married for almost 50 years until her death.
She passed away on June 9, 1993, a day after her 72nd birthday, due to brain cancer in Los Angeles, California. Her body was cremated and her ashes were scattered over the Pacific. Her husband remained a widower until his death in 2000.
Alexis Smith was born Margaret Alexis Fitzsimmons Smith on June 8, 1921 in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada, to to Gladys Mabel Fitz-Simmons and Alexander Smith.
She was a bright child and began acting in her teens in summer stock in Canada. She used to take ballet lessons and soon became a trained dancer. She won a dance school championship at the age of ten and debuted in professional dancing at the age of 13.
Later her family moved to U.S.A where she was brought up in Los Angeles. She attended the 'Hollywood High School' in Los Angeles, where she showcased her acting talent and won a statewide acting contest.
After graduating from high school, she got enrolled at the Los Angeles City College in a demanding theatrical training program and earned a degree in drama.
While studying in college, she got noticed during a campus theater production by a talent scout of Warner Brothers, a leading film production company, and was offered a role in a movie.
She passed the screen test and instantly signed the contract with Warner Bros. Her initial roles comprised of uncredited bit parts in numerous movies such as 'Alice in Movieland' (1940), 'Flight from Destiny' (1941), 'Here Comes Happiness' (1941), 'Passage from Hong Kong' (1941) and several others.
Her first major credited role was of the female lead opposite Errol Flynn in the 1941 feature film 'Dive Bomber'. It was an American aviation film in which her character was love interest of the two rivals, played by Errol Flynn and Fred MacMurray.
In 1942, she again shared the screen space with Flynn in the movie, 'Gentlemen Jim'. It was an adaptation of the autobiography of world heavyweight boxing champion, James Jon Corbett. She portrayed his love interest, 'Victoria Ware', in the movie.
Her next successful venture was the romantic drama, 'The Constant Nymph', in 1943. The movie was well received and her performance was appreciated.
One of her most notable works is her role in the 1971 Broadway musical 'Follies', an ambitious musical centered around the reunion of aging showgirls in a soon-to-be-demolished Broadway theater. Her performance was considered as exceptional and flawless in the musical.

Study of Capacity shortages in Logistics
Presentation of the Vario Liner of the second generation
Markus Stegen new to the management board
Werlte, February 2021 – Krone has developed a new version of the Krone Smart Collect telematics unit for its popular swap systems. The highlight: thanks to the integrated solar panel, the telematic unit runs autonomously and maintenance-free after installation.
Especially the booming parcel logistics and automobile logistics increasingly rely on swap transports, both in road haulage and combined transport. Tens of thousands of swap bodies and swap boxes are often on the road for weeks on motorways and on the rail network before they return to their home depot. Since they do not have a power supply - with the exception of the refrigerated swap bodies with a refrigeration unit - battery management is a constant challenge.
For these operations, Krone, as a leading supplier of swap bodies, has developed the new Krone Smart Collect Solar (KSC Solar), which, thanks to the built-in super capacitor, can use the stored solar energy in the range from -20 °C to +60 °C, i.e. even in extreme temperatures. Even during longer periods of gloomy weather, the integrated battery lasts up to around 445 hours and thus survives more than 18 days without sunshine.
When installed, the compact KSC Solar (230mm x 130mm x 21mm) is safely recessed between the roof strips on the KRONE swap body. Having undergone extensive field testing, the solar-powered telematics unit is available immediately and is offered for new swap bodies ex-works and as a ready-to-fit retrofit kit.
With the KSC Solar, Krone is closing the gap of swap bodies that are not permanently powered, thus offering telematics for the entire fleet. Krone Smart Collect was successfully introduced in 2016 and is now in use on more than 24,000 trailers.

Accreditation has been withdrawn for Auckland based New Zealand Institute of Technical Training Limited (NITT) to provide Level 5 and Level 6 Business Diplomas. Supporting students through this process is the key priority for NZQA.
The withdrawal of accreditation means that NITT can no longer deliver these programmes to students. NZQA also issued a compliance notice directing NITT to provide a full refund of fees for all students affected by the accreditation withdrawal and consequent course closure.
Acting Deputy Chief Executive Quality Assurance, Eve McMahon, says NZQA has monitored NITT since July 2018 and has found serious issues with the quality of their assessment and moderation.
"This situation has raised ongoing concerns about the capability of NITT's assessors to make quality assessment decisions and the standard of the teaching programme, resulting in the decision to withdraw accreditation.
Ms McMahon says the welfare of students is paramount. "We appreciate this is a difficult time for the 67 affected students and our priority is to support them as much as possible.
"We are liaising with other agencies such as Immigration New Zealand and the Public Trust to get the best outcomes for students. Students attended a meeting in Auckland on 18 March with representatives from NZQA, Immigration New Zealand and the Public Trust to hear about the next steps.


A Santa Barbara County raid led to the seizure of hundreds of thousands of illegal marijuana plants and thousands of pounds of processed pot.
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office says a raid by its cannabis compliance team this week led to seizure of hundreds of thousands of illegal marijuana plants and thousands of pounds of processed marijuana for sale.
After a monthlong investigation, authorities at about 8:30 a.m. Thursday served a search warrant at 805 Beach Breaks, a marijuana dispensary in the 1000 block of Highland Way in Grover Beach, and at undisclosed location in Los Alamos.
In Los Alamos, the team said it found hundreds of thousands of illegal plants and thousands of pounds of processed marijuana. At the Grover Beach location, deputies seized marijuana from the illegal operation and records, according to authorities.
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office is withholding details due to the ongoing investigation, but says the case involves the issue of fraudulent licensing and the black-market diversion of cannabis.

Government Taxes and Expenditures
Baltimore City Council Threatens Government Shutdown if Youth Initiative Funding Isn't Restored
Jim Schaffer
June 6, 2016, Baltimore Sun
Baltimore's City Council refuses to approve next year's $2.6 billion city budget unless Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake restores funding to the city's youth programs. "Does the mayor and her administration want to shut government down?" City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young asked. "For kids, I'll shut this whole city down." A government shutdown could mean furloughs for city employees and could halt city tax collection.
In post-Freddie Gray Baltimore, a charter amendment was passed earlier this year requiring Baltimore to set aside three percent of its discretionary budget (about $4.2 million presently) each year for youth programs. The mayor's objection is that future mayors' fiscal responsibilities—she is not running for reelection—should not be constrained.
The Baltimore Sun's editors believe that the City Council is "right in spirit, wrong on policy."
As it stands, this proposal amounts to something of a solution in search of a problem. It's not that Baltimore's youth don't need more help or that the city's families don't need more support. They surely do. It's that the legislation establishes an arbitrary amount of increased funding for certain kinds of programs without a determination first of what the scope of the need is or whether those are precisely the kinds of interventions that would do the most good. Too many details of what would be funded and how remain undefined, and there has been no discussion of what spending might be cut in other areas if this proposal becomes law.
The City Council is made up of 14 single-member districts and one at-large council president. Young was unanimously elected council president to replace Stephanie Rawlings-Blake when she became mayor. Democrats have dominated every level of Baltimore's government for more than 150 years. Everyone in this standoff knows each other, and they share the same political values. Everyone agrees that youth initiatives need to be a priority. The debate is over how to fund them.
The 2015 study "The Impacts of Neighborhoods on Intergenerational Mobility" shows that among the nation's 100 largest jurisdictions, Baltimore's children face the steepest climb out of poverty. When campaigning in Maryland last April, Bernie Sanders was more forceful:
Poverty in Baltimore…is a death sentence. Fifteen neighborhoods in Baltimore have lower life expectancies than North Korea. Two [neighborhoods] have a higher infant mortality rate than the West Bank in Palestine… Baltimore teenagers between the ages of fifteen and nineteen face poorer health conditions and a worse economic outlook than those in distressed cities in Nigeria, India, China, and South Africa.
Baltimore's private philanthropy leadership addressing this issue includes The Baltimore Summer Funding Collaborative, consisting of the Abell Foundation, Casey Foundation, Clayton Baker Trust, Family League of Baltimore, France-Merrick Foundation, Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Foundation, Joseph & Harvey Meyerhoff Family Charitable Funds, Lockhart Vaughan Foundation, Meyerhoff Family Charitable Funds, and Morton K. and Jane Blaustein Foundation. There is Peter Angelos, majority owner of the Baltimore Orioles, who donated $300,000 to keep Baltimore city pools open during the summer of 2010. Baltimore's "Power 50" also need to be involved in finding solutions.
NPQ reported in 2015 how artists were pitching in "to help heal a fractured Baltimore." When Prince died this past April, NPQ remembered that it was the one-year anniversary of Freddie Gray's death and that Prince's music video "Baltimore" and his "Rally 4 Peace" concert for the benefit of Baltimore's youth programs was (in the words of a concertgoer) "just what Baltimore needed to heal."
In the end, Baltimore is on its own—or, as NPQ reported:
Katz's summation is sad, but all too true: "Whatever the cause of Washington dysfunction, the message to places like Baltimore and Ferguson that face some of the toughest, structural challenges in the nation is clear: You are on your own. The cavalry is not coming."
Freddie Gray's tragic death while in police custody made America, let alone the people of Baltimore, face the ever-urgent issues of race, violence, poverty, and opportunity. Some 40 miles from the White House, Baltimore's young people on the brink of adulthood need a life-giving way ahead. Families, neighborhoods, and elected leaders need to find the wherewithal to work together to open the right doors that will determine their fate.—Jim Schaffer
The founders of Covenant House, AmeriCares, TechnoServe and the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp were my mentors who entrusted me with much. What I can offer the readers of NPQ is carried out in gratitude to them and to the many causes I've had the privilege to serve through the years.

Annual Report: Ukraine 2013
Head of state Viktor Yanukovich
Head of government Mykola Azarov
Torture and other ill-treatment remained widespread, and impunity for such acts continued. Failings in the criminal justice system led to lengthy periods of pre-trial detention, and a lack of safeguards for detainees. Refugees and asylum-seekers risked detention and forcible return to countries where they faced human rights violations. The rights of LGBTI individuals were at risk.
Torture and other ill-treatment
There were continuing reports of torture and other ill-treatment in police detention. In a report on a visit to Ukraine in 2011, published in November, the Council of Europe Committee for the Prevention of Torture stated that it had been "inundated with allegations from detained persons" who had been subjected to physical or psychological ill-treatment by police officers. Shevchenkivskiy police station in Kyiv was singled out as being particularly "problematic".
On 18 September, Parliament passed legislation allowing the Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights' Office to carry out the functions of a National Preventive Mechanism, in fulfilment of Ukraine's obligations under the Optional Protocol to the UN Convention against Torture.
Mikhail Belikov, a retired miner, was tortured by police officers from Petrovskiy District police station in Donetsk on 17 June. He was approached by three duty police officers in a park for drinking in public. He reported that he was beaten in the park and then taken to the Petrovskiy District sub-police station, where a fourth duty police officer raped him with a police baton while three other policemen held him down. A more senior officer told him to forget what had happened, and asked him to pay 1,500 hryvna (€144) to be released. He agreed to pay and was released without charge. That night his condition worsened considerably. He was taken to hospital where doctors found that he had suffered serious internal injuries, and he would require a temporary colostomy. At the end of the year, three police officers were on trial for five separate incidents of beating and extortion, going back to 2009, including the torture of Mikhail Belikov. Two of the officers were charged with torture, under Article 127 of the Criminal Code.
In October, members of the UN Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review of Ukraine's human rights situation recommended that Ukraine should create an independent body to investigate cases of torture and guarantee compensation to victims. Ukraine had not replied to this and the other 145 recommendations made to it by the Review before the end of the year. Victims of torture and other ill-treatment continued to experience difficulty in getting their complaints investigated. Punishments handed down by the courts often did not reflect the gravity of the crime.
On 5 January, police officer Serhiy Prikhodko received a five-year suspended sentence for abuse of office for causing the death of Ihor Indylo in police custody in Shevchenkivskiy police station in Kyiv in May 2010. A second police officer, Serhiy Kovalenko, had been amnestied in December 2011 on the basis that he had a young child. On 14 May, the Kyiv Appeal Court cancelled both the suspended sentence and the amnesty, and returned the case for further investigation. On 29 October the Kyiv Appeal Court again asked for additional investigation.
On 23 March, Ihor Zavadskiy, a celebrated accordion player, was detained in Kyiv and subjected to torture and other ill-treatment by police officers. He alleged that he was thrown to the ground outside his home and beaten by a group of plain-clothes police officers, who searched him, took his mobile phone, and searched his apartment without a warrant, and that he was then subjected to further torture and other ill-treatment at Shevchenkivskiy police station in Kyiv. Three police officers beat him and one of them squeezed his testicles causing extreme pain. At one point he lost consciousness when he was thrown to the ground, hitting his head on the floor. Police officers insisted on interrogating him without a lawyer; he did not see a lawyer until 27 March. He was subsequently charged with "violent unnatural gratification of sexual desire" and "debauchery of minors". He lodged a complaint with the district prosecutor about the torture and other ill-treatment on 2 April. He was only informed on 3 July that a decision had been taken on 6 April not to start a criminal investigation into the torture allegations. The Shevchenkivskiy District Court overturned the prosecutor's decision on 31 July, and returned the case for additional investigation. At the end of the year there was no information about the progress of the investigation. The case against Ihor Zavadskiy was ongoing.
Refugees and asylum-seekers
Ukraine continued to breach its international human rights obligations under the UN Refugee Convention by complying with extradition requests even in cases where the individuals concerned were recognized refugees or asylum-seekers.
On 20 September, the Ukrainian authorities returned Ruslan Suleymanov to Uzbekistan, in violation of Ukraine's obligations under the UN Convention against Torture, and the UN Refugee Convention. He remained in pre-trial detention in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, at the end of the year. Ruslan Suleymanov had moved to Ukraine in November 2010, fearing an unfair trial, torture and other ill-treatment in Uzbekistan, after the construction company he worked for was targeted by rival business interests. He was detained in Ukraine on 25 February 2011, and in May 2011 the General Prosecutor's Office confirmed his extradition to Uzbekistan to stand trial for alleged economic crimes. Although his application for asylum in Ukraine was rejected, he had been recognized by UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, as a refugee, and they were actively seeking his resettlement.
On 19 October, Leonid Razvozzhayev, a Russian citizen and aide to Russian opposition MP Ilya Ponomaryov, was reportedly abducted by Russian law enforcement officers in Kyiv from outside the offices of the Hebrew Immigration Aid Society, where he had gone for legal assistance and advice in order to apply for asylum in Ukraine. On 22 October, Leonid Razvozzhayev alleged that he was subjected to torture or other ill-treatment upon his return to Russia to force him to incriminate himself and other opposition activists in planning mass disorder. On 25 October, a spokesman for the Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed that Leonid Razvozzhayev had been abducted "by law enforcement officers or law enforcement officers of another state". He stated that this was not a criminal matter, but "a matter of co-operation between law enforcement agencies, about which I know nothing."
In June, UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, noted that, despite the new 2011 Refugee Law, procedures and legislation still fell short of international standards. In particular, asylum-seekers, who are frequently undocumented, risked detention for up to 12 months for illegally staying in Ukrainian territory.
In January, 81 people detained in two migrant accommodation centres, the majority of whom were Somali nationals, declared a hunger strike to protest against their detention. They had been detained and sentenced to up to 12 months "for the purposes of deportation", following a police action to control "illegal immigration" at the end of December 2011. No Somali nationals had ever been returned from Ukraine, and forcible returns to Somalia would have been unlawful in all but exceptional circumstances. At least one detainee was registered with the UNHCR as an asylum-seeker, but many more had been unable to apply for asylum as the Regional Migration Services offices in many parts of Ukraine had not functioned for most of 2011. The detainees ended the hunger strike on 17 February, after the State Migration Service assured them that it would re-open its regional offices in Volyn district, in western Ukraine, and start accepting applications for refugee status and related protection. By November 2012, 53 of the detainees had been released.
A new Criminal Procedural Code, with significant improvements on the previous one, was given Presidential assent on 14 May. It clarified that detention starts from the moment of apprehension by the police; that detainees have the right to a lawyer and to an independent medical expert from that moment; and clearly stated that pre-trial detention should only be applied in exceptional circumstances, in line with Council of Europe recommendations. It also provided for automatic review of the continuing justification for pre-trial detention at two-monthly intervals. Concerns remained that a lawyer was only mandatory in cases of especially grave crimes that entail a penalty of more than 10 years in prison, and that free legal aid was also only available in cases where a lawyer was mandatory.
On 27 February, Yuriy Lutsenko, former Minister of Internal Affairs and leader of the People's Self Defence opposition political party, was sentenced to four years' imprisonment and a fine of 643,982 hryvna (€61,621) for misappropriation of state property and abuse of office. Yuriy Lutsenko had been held in pre-trial detention since 26 December 2010. On 3 July the European Court of Human Rights found that Yuriy Lutsenko's pre-trial detention had violated his right to liberty, as well as having been ordered for political reasons in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights. On 17 August, he was found guilty additionally for professional negligence for ordering illegal surveillance of a driver while investigating the poisoning of former President Yushchenko. His sentence remained unchanged.
A new trial against former Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko for tax evasion was due to start in April, but was postponed for health reasons. The new charges, which were made in October 2011, related to her activities as president of the energy trading company United Energy Systems of Ukraine (UESU) from 1995 to 1997. She continued to serve a seven-year sentence under politically motivated charges of abuse of office for signing a multi-million dollar energy contract with Russia in January 2009, while she was Prime Minister.
Rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people
In October, Parliament passed the second reading of a draft law "On amendments to some legislative acts (to protect the right of children to a safe information environment)". The Law proposed to ban the production, importation or distribution of publications, film or video materials promoting homosexuality. If enacted, the law would severely restrict the right to freedom of expression of LGBTI individuals.
On 20 May, the Kyiv Pride march was called off just 30 minutes before it was due to begin after police warned that a large number of nationalist and religious protesters had threatened to interrupt the march. One of the organizers was beaten by a gang of youths and another was sprayed with mace.
On 24 October, the government stated that Ukraine remained committed to the idea of the establishment of an International Criminal Court. However, no steps were taken to make the necessary legislative changes to implement the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the Agreement on Privileges and Immunities to which Ukraine acceded on 20 January 2000 and 29 January 2007 respectively.

Current: Volkswagen Teramont review: Go big or go home
Volkswagen Teramont review: Go big or go home
VW closes a glaring gap in its model portfolio with the seven-seater SUV. Has it got what it takes to snatch market share from established rivals?
Photos: Stefan Lindeque (1/16)
Photos: Stefan Lindeque (10/16)
Despite all the negative publicity it garnered following the Dieselgate emissions scandal, the Volkswagen juggernaut is charging ahead at a rate of knots, emerging as the world's largest automaker last year. However, while it has most of the bases covered in the light vehicles department, the Volkswagen Group didn't have many convincing three-row SUVs to boast of other than the premium Audi Q7. Seeing that rival manufacturers that are close on its heels in terms of global sales such as Toyota and the Renault-Nissan Alliance have a clear advantage in this all-important segment, the German behemoth also took the large SUV plunge in early 2017, that too under its bread-and-butter VW badge.
Dubbed Atlas in the crucial American market, and called Teramont in the equally vital Middle East markets, the first seven-seater Volkswagen is built in the brand's Chattanooga, Tennessee plant. This is part of its efforts to project the 'designed and built for America' image just like it did with the current Passat. This strategy might not have worked any magic for the Passat, but the Teramont has generated quite a lot of interest in its main markets. With passenger car sales slowing down, and SUVs making up the bulk of every automaker's sales numbers, the Teramont has allowed Volkswagen to be more in line with customer demand.

Visually, the Teramont is unmistakably Volkswagen, building on the brand's current design language that goes for a bold fascia and angular, brawny lines all around. The design takes inspiration from the CrossBlue concept vehicle from 2013, and underpinning the clean, characteristically Volkswagen sheet metal is the group's Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) architecture. At 5,036mm long, 1,978mm wide and 1,769mm high, the Teramont is comparable in dimensions to its main rivals and is the largest German offering in this segment. The wide grille, standard LED headlights and the flared fenders all combine to provide the SUV a distinctively muscular stance that sets it apart from its competitors, most of whom have relatively more smooth flowing, typically soft-roader lines.
The clean styling of the exterior is carried over to the cabin as well, with a layout that is intuitive and clutter-free. The 8.0-inch infotainment interface is well positioned and easy to read and navigate, but the screen is a fingerprint magnet, so those with OCD will do well to carry a couple of sheets of chamois leather or microfibre cloth in the glovebox. For all the ergonomic quality of the cabin, the interior feels a bit too conservative, especially in comparison with the relatively more plush appointments seen in rival models. However, what is lost is flair is compensated in the practicality department, with all three rows of the Atlas offering passenger room that's better than the segment average. The second row provides flexible adjustments to enable convenient ingress and egress for occupants of the third row, which is also reasonably spacious. As with the case with other vehicles in this class, it's better to leave the last row of seats for children.

Adding to its practicality are several cup holders, bottle holders, storage nets and cargo containers and 12V, USB and auxiliary inputs for the first two rows. The Teramont boasts a maximum cargo volume of 2,741 litres with just the first row seats up, which comes down to a still decent 1,571 litres with just the third row folded and 583 litres with all seats up.
Our test car is equipped with the 3.6-litre V6 engine that's good for 280 horsepower with 360Nm of torque, while lower trim variants are available with a 220 horsepower, 350Nm 2.0-litre turbo powertrain. In both variants, power is sent to the wheels through a 4Motion, eight-speed automatic transmission with four drive modes including On-road, Snow, Off-road, and Custom Off-road. The V6 is smooth and quiet, and with a payload of two adults and two kids, it didn't struggle at all in any situation. Although the Teramont isn't meant for extreme off-roading, with its decent ground clearance and the solid fourwheel drive system, it will surely be up to most off-road tasks if the need arises. Leg and back support is good in the front and second row seats, and the quiet cabin and solid suspension add to the overall ride quality which is as refined as any in the segment. Safety and convenience systems abound, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert, front and rear Park Distance Control, Park Assist; High Beam Control and Area View.
Launched in the Middle East last year, the Teramont is significantly late to the three-row SUV party, as the segment's spoils are already being shared by veteran players like the Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder and the Mazda CX-9. With Hyundai and Kia set to join the fray with the Palisade and the Telluride respectively, the fight for a slice of the market share is going to be particularly tough. But the good thing is the Teramont turns out to be as strong a contender as any of the above-mentioned stalwarts in terms of build quality, practicality, performance and looks. Those who have had a preference for the Volkswagen brand or wanted a German brand in general but never had the option will definitely go for it. Prices in the UAE start at Dh137,100 and go up to Dh189,950.

The City of Middleton is a member of the Madison Area Municipal Storm Water Partnership (17 central Dane County municipalities, Dane County and UW-Madison), which submitted a storm water discharge permit to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Rather than applying for the permit individually, these municipal entities joined forces to save time, money and resources. Their web site, www.Ripple-Effects.com, has a plethora of information on how residents' daily activities can have a positive impact on Dane County's water resources.
In compliance with the provisions of Chapter 283, Wisconsin Statutes, and Chapters NR 151 and 216, Wisconsin Administrative Code, municipalities in Wisconsin must apply for a storm water permit in order to discharge storm water through a separate storm sewer system to waters of the State. The permit carries a requirement that municipalities submit to WisDNR an annual report of activities aimed at compliance with the requirements of the permit.

Personnel Changes Afoot At Alleghany
It's our 100th anniversary, and in addition to looking backward, we're also looking forward, including to a season of change and transition for the leadership at Alleghany.
May 31, 2022 By Elizabeth Shreckhise
"Each summer we come here, some things are always new.
Some things don't change, come what may…."
Change is in the air!
It's our 100th anniversary, and in addition to looking backward, we're also looking forward, including to a season of change and transition for the leadership at Alleghany.
Some of these changes have already taken place and I just haven't yet had the chance to include those changes in a blog until now.
Some of these changes are coming down the pike.The whole transition is very bittersweet as we love the staff who are stepping down, and we equally love the staff who are stepping up!
Each of these people deserves his or her own individual farewell or welcome blog, so be sure to look for those in the coming weeks or in the Fall. But for now, here's an overview of our Administrative changes.
In January, Operations Manager Cooper Dawson stepped down to take a new job with Land's End. We're so grateful for his year of work on our Administrative Team. It might've been one of the most challenging seasons ever to be in that role due to the added challenges that Covid accommodations and staffing shortages forced. Cooper stepped up to the plate admirably! We wish him all the best in his new endeavors, and we're glad we still get to see him on the weekends at camp, as he's Office Manager Louise's husband ☺and my brother and Bonnie and Sam's son! So he will truly be gone but not forgotten!
Former Facilities Director Garrett O'Dell had stepped away to start his own contracting company, but didn't step too far away, as Camp Alleghany contracted with him for maintenance services. After Cooper left, Garrett saw an opportunity to officially return to the team, now that his business is a well-oiled machine. Garrett has taken the title of Site Manager, and oversees all things maintenance, buildings, and grounds. He will oversee the Green Team in the summertime as well.
Garrett O'Dell.
When Garrett returned to the team, we restructured these positions, and added a summertime role called Operations Coordinator, to oversee the Kitchen and Dining Hall staff and operations, as well as camp housekeeping. This role will be filled this summer by none other than Katie Webb Cyphert, long time camp alum and current camp mom (you may also remember her as the 2021 Head of Leaders-In-Training {LIT}!). Katie will also assist Garrett in supervising the Green Team. We're so thankful to Katie for taking on this new role, and we can't wait to work with her again.
Katie Webb Cyphert.
We anticipate that the new structure of our Facilities and Grounds team will create many new efficiencies and simplified task management arrangements that will serve us all this summer and going forward!
Program Director Casey Tucker announced a couple of weeks ago that this will be his final summer at Alleghany as Program Director.
Casey Tucker.
We're deeply sad to lose him, but also so excited for him to pursue his dream of running his own camp in his own style with his own stamp and leadership. He's going to do amazing things and we're so proud of him! We're also looking forward to staying connected and hoping to still work with Casey when possible.
Our big announcement for today is that we are excited to announce who is taking over for Casey as Program Director, and that is our very own Stephanie Astley!
Stephanie is a long time Alleghany alum, current camp mom, current support staff, and current Head of Family Camp. She also took on the role of Head of Senior Camp last summer during Second Term. You can say she has worn a lot of hats at Alleghany!
Stephanie Astley.
Stephanie is the perfect fit for this role and is excited to dive right in. This summer she'll be at camp for the majority of the summer shadowing Casey and learning the ropes of the job. She's also still the Head of Family Camp (for one more summer!) and has been planning an amazing 100th Anniversary Week of events, and has been instrumental in the planning of our 100th Anniversary Bash on August 13th at Family Camp.
Stephanie begins her new role on October 1. Welcome, Stephanie! (and yes… we will be looking for a new Head of Family Camp come Fall!).
Beth Anne (BA) Clark-Thomas.
The time has come for our beloved Mini Camp Director, Beth Anne Clark-Thomas, a.k.a. "BA," to pass the torch. This will be BA's 20th season of Mini Camp, and 50th summer at Alleghany. It seems fitting that it's also the 100th anniversary of camp, and her final summer as Mini Camp Director.
BA has made our Mini Camp program what it is! From 25 little girls back in 2003, to over 75 with a wait list now, and a loyal and dedicated staff, she has grown Mini Camp tremendously.
Our one-week Mini Camp remains one of the strongest programs we have at Alleghany, and is a crucial preparation and feeder program into our 3-week Term Camp sessions. BA has put in countless hours of work and creative effort into Mini Camp, and she will leave huge shoes to fill.
Maggie Webb Meyer.
So who will fill those shoes? Announcing… Maggie Webb Meyer! Maggie is yet another long time camp alum and current camp mom who will be promoted from Mini Camp Counselor to Head of Mini Camp this Fall. This summer she will be an instrumental part of Mini Camp, shadowing BA and starting to take on more leadership in general. We're thrilled to welcome Maggie to our team and excited for the next chapter of Mini Camp! (and yes, she is Katie Webb Cyphert's sister! This is a family business after all, in more ways than one!)
Lindsay Curren.
Lindsay Curren of Curren Media Group has been our Marketing Director for over 11 years now, and she will be departing to focus on her vintage fabric business and take some time for health and wellness pursuits.
Lindsay and I have worked together for so many years now, and while it's been mostly behind the scenes and not many people know her, she's been instrumental in making our website what it is, taking our blog to the next level, redesigning our graphic design look and feel, and driving our social media while marketing to both new and returning families, and much much much more. Over the years we've shared many interests and I'll miss our talks! I hope you'll get to meet her at the 100th Anniversary Bash!
Cami Bresee.
Stepping into the role of Marketing Manager is alumna Cami Bresee! Cami has a marketing degree in Advertising and Marketing from the University of Miami, and spent last summer as our Leadership Program Coordinator. Cami will be stepping into the role of Marketing Manager this summer, and then this Fall will be taking on an additional role as well… see below!
Leadership Programming
Verity "V" McVey.
This summer, we are thrilled to welcome back to the US Verity "V" McVey in our Leadership Program Coordinator role. This will be V's 5th summer at Alleghany, though it would be more if we'd opened in 2020 or if she could have gotten into the States in 2021! She's been a counselor, Unit Head, and Head Counselor, and is excited to challenge herself in the role of LPC for 2022. Welcome, V!
When we initially created this role, it was intended to be a summertime only position. However, after Cami left her job to take our on marketing department, she proposed the idea of a year-round Leadership Program Director role in addition to marketing, and we said yes! So this Fall, Cami will officially join us as Director of Marketing and Leadership Programs, and be on our year-round Admin Team. Welcome back, Cami!
Many of these staff members will still be around this summer, and we're excited about that. Maggie will be working closely alongside BA during Mini Camp. Stephanie and Cami will both be on support staff this summer, which provides them the opportunity to shadow and work closely with Casey and V to allow for a smooth transition this Fall. We're so grateful to be able to have these positions filled, and also grateful to have one more summer with these staff members we love so dearly.
Again, each of these phenomenal individuals deserves their own unique farewell or welcome blog, so we hope in the meantime this scratches the surface and gives you a taste of how we're ending our first century of Alleghany and starting the next….
Can't wait to see you this summer!

Great resource - thank you for sharing it!
You can enter what you have and it will list recipes you can make.
Like if you enter "chicken" "bread" "cheese" it lists 2000 recipes and 2 you can make right now with those 3 ingredients. (the other 1998 require more ingredients) It's kind of nice when you're using things up and not sure what to make.

Capitalism: have we had enough?
The Rev Dr Giles Fraser, Priest-in-Charge at St Mary Newington in London, and formerly Canon at St Paul's Cathedral, is taking part in a chaired discussion on the future of capitalism in the aftermath of Occupy at St Paul's.
The City, finance and human obligations
A new survey is about to be released concerning the values of those who work in the financial services industry. Giles Fraser, who has resigned as Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral over threats to forcibly evict Occupy anti-corporate greed protesters, says that mutual obligations are a more important guide to financial ethics than trading heavily mediated by technology and less and less reliant on direct human contact.

ArticleJeff Robbins June 28, 2018 future of work, remote jobs, remote workComment
Why Fortune 500 Companies Should Implement Remote Work Now
Societal change is happening faster than businesses can move, slowing the adoption of remote work models within Fortune 500 companies.
There's a business truism that it takes a business one year to change for every five years that the business has existed. This applies to developing new departments, changing a company culture, or shifting to a hybrid (partially remote) or fully distributed model. Keeping that in mind, some of these hundred-year-old co-located companies are going to take a long time adopting flexible or remote work policies.
It's no surprise that The Deloitte Millennial Survey 2018 reports 43% of Millennials fantasize about leaving their day jobs within the next two years, and only 28% of Millennials expect to stay at their current company beyond five years. As Millennials begin to move into leadership roles within these Fortune 500 companies, we are starting to see a shift toward remote-friendly policies, but the more learned generations may feel like Millennials are being overly idealistic in expecting flexible work options or the ability to work 100% remote.
For a lot of these large companies, it seems so easy to resist remote work or simply "try it out" for a short stint (i.e. send people home one day a week and call it "remote work.")
We've seen companies like IBM, Yahoo! and Best Buy pull remote workers back to their offices over the last year or two, then claim that remote just doesn't work. Period.
As a result, distributed or hybrid companies begin to wonder whether their experience in running a fully distributed or hybrid company is an anomaly, a fluke. Not a magical future of work experience.
If your company is considering a move towards remote work, here are five things to consider.
Advances in technology
Technology has forever changed the workplace. When we start to look at new technology and cutting edge ways of thinking influenced by technology, the generations growing up with text messaging and Instagram have different ways of engaging with each other. Their ways of working are not based upon location or being in an office. They have an iPhone or tablet and could do work from wherever they are. The old ways of "going to the office to get work done" feels outdated to those coming up in the workforce today.
Work itself is changing
Work itself is more abstract. Employees don't need to get in a car, drive a half hour, and be productive in some geographical location. It seems ridiculous (even to me!)
This is somewhat the flow of progress. It's the way that society is changing over time. It's validating. More than that, it reinvigorates those of us who've "made remote work work" to continue helping large companies figure out how to do this, too. I believe there's going to be a tipping point in the next five or ten years where companies can no longer require employees to work in a co-located office. Remote work is just going to be the way work happens.
In-office work
Information workers don't need to take a job in an office. It's no longer about networking around the latte machine or building company culture at the office foosball tournament. Work has changed. "Going to the office" will feel like the thing old people do. I imagine there will be other ways for people to get together in-person that will be solved by other technological solutions.
Overcoming uncertainty
Companies who don't embrace remote work will be left behind because they will no longer be able to attract top talent or keep their best employees. The best workers will expect to be able to work from wherever, whenever. If the right company comes along with a flexible work option and decent pay, they will change employers. Companies will be unable to pretend that remote work does not exist without experiencing a hit to their profitability and employee retention issues.
Going distributed
The tipping point starts to happen when 40% of all workers want to have flexible-work-from-wherever jobs. Companies that start figuring this out now will thrive. Other companies who postpone figuring out remote work will suddenly have a lot of trouble hiring people. To start moving towards remote work at that point, companies will not have the resources, remote management practices, and money in place to make the change. It will be too late.
Takeaway: Identify remote work as a trend that's not going away. Start listening to the Yonder podcast to hear how other business leaders are making it work. Then, figure out the moving parts of going distributed for your company and start heading that direction now.

Doorpersing is een sleufloze techniek om leidingen horizontaal onder de grond te leggen, bijvoorbeeld onder een weg, spoorweg of waterweg. Hierbij worden eerst twee putten gegraven, een persput en een ontvangstput. De leiding wordt dan van de persput naar de ontvangsput geperst met hydraulische of pneumatische kracht.

Hydraulisch doorpersen
Hydraulische doorpersing kan worden toegepast tot een diameter van ongeveer 3,5 meter. Het gebeurt door met behulp van een hydraulische vijzel een buis de grond in te drukken. De perskracht wordt overgebracht op de buis door een drukverdeelstuk. Als de vijzel de maximale slag bereikt heeft wordt ze ingetrokken en wordt het vrijgekomen stuk opgevuld met een drukstang. Als er voldoende ruimte is om een nieuwe buis te plaatsen wordt de drukstang vervangen door een buis. Achter de persput dient zich een grondmassief te bevinden dat de krachten die door de vijzels worden uitgeoefend kan opvangen. Om het doorpersen goed te laten verlopen zit er aan de voorzijde van de buis een snijring of een boorfront. Tevens wordt ter plaatse van het boorschild de grond weggegraven.

Het boorschild heeft een iets grotere diameter dan de buis of leiding die erachter zit. Er wordt een smeermiddel in de vorm van bentoniet geïnjecteerd om de wrijving tussen de buis en de omliggende grond te verminderen. Een hydraulische doorpersing kan ingedeeld worden naar de werking van het boorfront.

Open boorfront
Bij een open boorfront zijn er geen voorzieningen getroffen om het grondwater en de grond te beheersen ter plaatse van het boorfront. In de meeste gevallen wordt een boorfront toegepast dat alleen bestaat uit een verdikte snijring die vooraan de buis bevestigd is. Het afgraven van de grond binnen de snijkop wordt meestal uitgevoerd met behulp van een avegaar. De avegaar wordt aangedreven door een motor in de persput. Een punt van aandacht hierbij is de plaats van de avegaar in de snijkop. Wordt de avegaar te ver door de snijkop het geplaatst wordt de grond buiten de buis verstoord en kan er verzakking optreden. Zit de avegaar niet ver genoeg in de snijkop kan er ophoping van grond voor het front optreden, waardoor er bodemrijzing voor de boorkop optreedt.

Bij buisleidingen die toegankelijk zijn kan de grond ook met een graafmachine of met de hand weggegraven worden. Als het een doorpersing met een buis met een grote diameter betreft wordt het front meestal onderverdeeld in vakken ter voorkomen van het afkalven van het boorfront. In principe is een doorpersing met een snijrad en een avegaar niet bestuurbaar. Indien er echter achter het boorfront een aantal stuurvijzels geplaatst worden is een beperkte bijsturing mogelijk en kan er dus enigszins van een rechte lijn afgeweken worden. De lengte van de doorpersing wordt bepaald door de reactiekracht die geleverd kan worden door de vijzels. Hierbij moet er wel mee rekening gehouden worden dat er ook andere onderdelen zijn die kunnen bezwijken zoals het grondlichaam, de damwand en buis. Normaliter ligt bij een doorpersing met open front de maximale lengte op ongeveer 100 meter. Er is een grote diversiteit aan buismaterialen mogelijk, zoals beton, staal en kunststof met glasvezel versterkt.

Gesloten boorfront
De gesloten fronttechniek maakt gebruik van een echt boorschild, waardoor het boorschild afgesloten is van de door te persen buis. De wijze van afsluiting hangt af van het soort boorschild en de afvoerwijze van de grond. Door de scheiding van boorfront en buis is doorpersen beneden het grondwaterniveau mogelijk.

Het boorschild bestaat uit een stalen mantel die uit 2 delen opgebouwd is. De 2 delen worden met elkaar verbonden door middel van een flexibele rubberring. Het boorschild is bestuurbaar door middel van vijzels die tussen de 2 delen geplaatst zijn. Een onderverdeling tussen de verschillende boorfronten kan gemaakt worden op grond van de wijze waarop het boorfront ondersteund wordt.
 Mechanisch gesteund graaffront: Het graaffront wordt ondersteund door het snijrad, dat zich over de gehele oppervlakte van het front bevindt. Door een aantal openingen in het snijrad kan de grond afgevoerd worden. Tevens kan door de grootte van de gaten de veranderen de hoeveelheid afgevoerde grond gereguleerd worden. In de boorkamer (achter het snijrad) wordt de grond gemengd met water en kan het verpompt worden. Deze methode kan ook in combinatie met andere methoden gebruikt worden.
 Front-evenwicht'methode': In het boorschild zit een afsluitbaar schot. Hierdoor ontstaat tussen het graaffront en het schot een kamer. In deze kamer dient een zodanige druk te heersen dat er evenwicht ontstaat tussen de druk aan de grondzijde en de druk aan de buiszijde. Hiervoor kan een vloeistofschild en een gronddrukbalansschild gebruikt worden.
 Een vloeistofschild: Bij deze techniek wordt een steunvloeistof gebruikt om de stabiliteit van het boorfront te behouden. De vloeistofdruk is afhankelijk van de diepte en de samenstelling van de grond. De grond wordt met een snijrad weggegraven en vermengt zich met de vloeistof van het schild zodat het verpompt kan worden.
 Gronddrukbalansschild: Bij een gronddrukbalansschild wordt de afgegraven grond gekneed tot een plastisch geheel. Dit geheel wordt gebruikt als steun voor het boorfront. Men kan het front onder de juiste druk houden door de voortgang te koppelen aan de afvoer van de plastische grond.

Een vloeistofschild wordt toegepast vanaf 300 mm terwijl de andere methoden gebruikt worden vanaf 900 mm doorsnede. De lengte van de doorpersingen zijn gelimiteerd tot 1000 meter vanwege logistieke problemen. Doordat de doorpersingen over grote lengten plaatsvinden is het van groot belang de wrijving tussen de buis en de omliggende grond te minimaliseren. Hiertoe wordt evenals bij de doorpersingen met open boorfront een bentonietmengsel geïnjecteerd in de ruimte tussen de buis en de grond, die ontstaat door het verschil in diameter tussen het boorschild en de buis.

Voor- en nadelen
In het algemeen gezien is een groot voordeel dat er weinig overlast voor de omgeving is, omdat het hier een zogenaamde sleufloze techniek betreft. Tevens kan de verstoring van de ondergrond tot een minimum beperkt worden indien er een goede beheersing van het proces gerealiseerd kan worden. Een nadeel is dat er 2 bouwkuipen nodig zijn om de doorpersing uit te voeren en de uitvoeringsduur is relatief lang. Als er gebruikgemaakt wordt van de open fronttechniek is een bemaling vaak noodzakelijk ter plaatse van het tracé. Met de gesloten fronttechniek kan wel onder de grondwaterstand gewerkt worden, omdat de boorkamer daar een afgesloten systeem vormt.

Pneumatisch doorpersen

Pneumatisch doorpersen wordt uitgevoerd met behulp van een zogenaamde bodempersluchtraket, die ook wel een raketboor, bodemraket of grondraket genoemd wordt. Deze raket heeft een beweegbare zuiger in een stalen cilinder. De zuiger slaat onder invloed van de luchtdruk tegen een aambeeld voor in de cilinder waardoor er een stootkracht ontwikkeld wordt. Door deze stootkracht perst de raket zich als het ware een stukje de grond in. Hierna wordt de zuiger een stukje naar achter bewogen. De raket kan echter geen achterwaartse beweging maken door de wrijving die de raket en de leiding met de grond hebben.

Doordat de raket zichzelf de grond in drukt gaat hij min of meer rechtuit de grond in. Het is dan ook niet mogelijke een pneumatische doorpersing te sturen.
Er bestaan twee methoden voor pneumatisch doorpersen:
 Impact-ramming: Bij impact ramming, ook wel ramtechniek, bevindt de raket zich achter de leiding, wat inhoudt dat de raket de leiding voor zich uit de grond in duwt. Er wordt ook nog onderscheid gemaakt in een open leiding en een gesloten leiding. Bij een open leiding gaat het doorpersen gemakkelijker, maar moet nadien wel de grond uit de leiding gehaald worden. Als er gebruikgemaakt wordt van een open buis is de diameter maximaal 800mm, terwijl bij een gesloten buis de diameter beperkt is tot 150 mm. Een doorpersing met de ramtechniek, of impact ramming, heeft een maximale lengte van 80 meter. De boring is echter niet erg nauwkeurig en veroorzaakt bodemschokken.
 Impact-moling: Bij impact-moling is de raket voor de leiding geplaatst. De leiding wordt dus achter de raket aangetrokken. De leiding wordt alleen aan de raket vastgemaakt (door middel van staaldraden) als het een trekvast materiaal betreft. Is dit niet het geval dat worden de leidingen aangeduwd achter de raket aan. Het boorgat komt altijd tot stand door grondverdringing. Er zijn dus alleen maar kleine diameters (tot 210mm) mogelijk en de lengte is gelimiteerd tot 25 meter.

Voor- en nadelen
Pneumatisch doorpersen wordt vaak gebruikt voor een doorpersing onder een weg omdat het weinig overlast voor de omgeving geeft. Een ander voordeel is dat het in vergelijking met hydraulisch doorpersen goedkoop is. Er kan echter alleen een recht boortracé toegepast worden en de diameter, afhankelijk van de toegepaste methode, is beperkt. Een nadeel in drukbevolkte gebieden kan zijn dat er door de slagbewegingen van de raket trillingen in de ondergrond ontstaan.

Security forces PMR networks are moving from proprietary technologies for their "Mission Critical Push-To-Talk" basic service, and their data services--which must provide large bandwidth real-time access--to databases. LTE Based is adopted with backup access to public MNOs to complement their own radio coverage. Specific technologies such as multicasting of visio are required so the MCPTT works within a restricted bandwidth. The need to be able to change the main MNOs to provide resilient coverage requires specific choices of SIM cards, with OTAble security domains.
Practical LTE Based Security Forces PMR Networks assumes that the reader has a basic knowledge of the 4G network architecture and services, and the book focuses on the specific features and choices required to fulfill the need of security forces PMR networks. These include tactical and centralized, including LTE based voice services VoLTE and IMS. It can be used as a reference or textbook, with many detailed call flows and traces being included.
The author, who has a long teaching career in Operations Research, provides mathematical models for the optimization of tactical network federations, multicast coverage and allocation of preemptive priorities to PMR group members. He is a pioneer in the area of Virtual Roaming, an application of graph theory and telecommunications to provide roaming without direct relations, having previously published books on SMS Hubs, SS7 Hubs, Diameter Hubs, GTP Hubs. The use of M2M (monitoring devices) for security forces with mobility is covered in detail in the book, including the new LoRa virtual roaming which goes beyond the scope of PMR.

Q: How to filter array of NSDictionary for key separated by comma I have an array of NSDictionary.NSDictionary has a key named as multiple_image key that contain string separated by ,.
I want set of array that contain 123.png for multiple_images key.
Can some one show me how to do this using NSPredicate or without predicate.
//Array
{
    Image = "<UIImage: 0xf72df30>";
    active = yes;
    "admin_id" = 169;
    "category_id" = 32;
    "chef_id" = 175;
    descr = "Cool tea to cool down the mind.";
    id = 110;
    "multiple_images" = "Jellyfish.jpg,345.png";
    name = "Southern Sweet Ice Tea";
    price = 160;
    rating = 3;
    selected = 0;
    "subcat_id" = 23;
    "tag_id" = 45;
    "tax_id" = 10;
    "tax_value" = "12.00";
},
    {
    Image = "<UIImage: 0xf72ebd0>";
    active = yes;
    "admin_id" = 169;
    "category_id" = 31;
    "chef_id" = 175;
    descr = "Ingredients are almonds or cashews. No hydrogenated stuff, no extra weirdo ingredients";
    id = 107;
    "multiple_images" = "Jellyfish.jpg,123.png";
    name = "Butter Chicken";
    price = 300;
    rating = 3;
    selected = 0;
    "subcat_id" = 24;
    "tag_id" = 43;
    "tax_id" = 9;
    "tax_value" = "0.00";
},
    {
    Image = "<UIImage: 0xf72f870>";
    active = yes;
    "admin_id" = 169;
    "category_id" = 31;
    "chef_id" = 173;
    descr = "Raw vegetables  including carrots, cucumbers.";
    id = 100;
    "multiple_images" = "Jellyfish.jpg,shake.png,";
    name = Salads;
    price = 50;
    rating = 3;
    selected = 0;
    "subcat_id" = 22;
    "tag_id" = 44;
    "tax_id" = 9;
    "tax_value" = "0.00";
}

A: Using predicates,
[array filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"multiple_images CONTAINS '123'"]];

Using predicates, but with blocks
    NSArray *filtered = [test filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithBlock:
    ^BOOL(NSDictionary *evaluatedObject, NSDictionary * bindings) {
        NSString *key = @"123";
        return ([evaluatedObject[@"multiple_images"] rangeOfString:key].location != NSNotFound);
    }]];

A: Try
NSDictionary *item = mainArray[0];

NSString *imagesString = item[@"multiple_images"];

NSArray *images = [imagesString componentsSeparatedByString:@","];

Now you can use the images

A: Try this code
     for (int i=0; i<[mainArray count]; i++) {
            NSDictionary *item = [mainArray objectAtIndex:i];
            NSString *imagesString = item[@"multiple_images"];
            NSArray *images = [imagesString componentsSeparatedByString:@","];

            for (int j=0;j<[images count]; j++) {
                if ([[images objectAtIndex:j] isEqualToString:@"123.png"]) {
                    ///Your Required code;
                }
            }
      }

A: So you want to save the dictionary that has 123.png.
maybe you can try something like this:
NSMutableArray *arr = [NSMutableArray new];// your array of objects(dictionaries)
__block NSMutableArray *images123 = [NSMutableArray new];
[arr enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {

    NSMutableDictionary *dictionary = (NSMutableDictionary *)obj;

    if([[dictionary allKeys]containsObject:@"multiple_images"]){
        NSString *imageList = (NSString *)[dictionary objectForKey:@"multiple_images"];
        NSArray *arrayImages = [imageList componentsSeparatedByString:@","];

        if([arrayImages containsObject:@"123.png"]){
            [images123 addObject:dictionary];
        }
    }
}];
