Peter Forrest has just published a revised edition of his book, "The A-Z of Analogue Synthesizers--Part Two: N-Z." [See the Bibliography for more information.] The Chroma/Expander section is completely revised and expanded, thanks in part to feedback from me and David Clarke (both of us are thanked in the book) and the site in general, which gets several mentions. I've posted the revision: see A-Z of Analogue: Rhodes.
There is tonnes of information in the book, and I'm going to order the A-M volume. I think they're must-haves for any analogue enthusiast.
I'm still not sure exactly what a "Polaris II" is; my understanding (I believe from talking with Tony Williams) was that the models with red and yellow switches were prototypes and were never commercially available; and the blue ones were the production units. Were there other revisions?
Insofar as I know, all production/commerical units are black with light/dark blue graphics.
The Polaris II is a bit of a mystery. For all intents and purposes it seems to be the same as the original Polaris (i.e., generally looks the same, and seems to have the same specs) BUT it does have a slight modification to the graphics to indicate "II."
I had my Polaris quite a long time before my Chroma and I've always been curious about the Polaris II (so much so that I seriously considered buying a II, just to see if I could tell what the real differences were).
There was a Polaris II for sale on Ebay a while ago (with a pic. showing the different graphic), but I can't seem to see it come up in a 'completed items' search there.
Doug - did you receive any different manuals with the II (that specifically say 'II' on them)?
Obsolete URLs removed; here are the pictures.
The only diffs on the II that I can tell are the lack of red and blue in the Chroma logo (just plain white), the "II" label, and the handy Lower Functions chart on the front. The SN plate says the II is Model 2123B and is a Japanese 100V unit so perhaps they were only sold in Japan (both are made there). Also interesting is that my II has an older ROM than the I.
dunno if this has been mentioned, but in the service manual, the power supply has 'early version' and 'late version' pages. nothing else changes.
i can't see them calling it a 'II' based on this, but maybe that's all that's different?
This could have been part of the thinking - but I have seen non-II Polaris'/Polarii with both the old and new power supplies.
There are other (potential) differences noted in the service manual - such as a slightly faster CPU, more RAM and more EPROM/code space. Maybe a II ended up being a 'fully expanded I'?
Sorry, but how were the graphics different on the Polaris II? I know there was a project for a Polaris Expander and there were some CPU Upgrades but never heard of the Polaris II though!
Good morning. I was lucky enough to have the blessing and support of Fender to run the Chroma Poalris Users Group. While there were plans to build a Polaris Expander and there was at least one CPU upgrade during production, never heard of a Polaris II! Would be interesting to see if it's the Halloween Polaris (like the Halloween Chroma) or a true revision/update.
Sorry, but how were the graphics different on the Polaris II?
See Doug's pictures, sent to the list a couple of days ago.
I've never seen one up close - but from the pictures I've seen, the layout of the woodwork on a Prophet T-8 seems to be nearly identical to the Chroma (single piece end-cheek, strip of wood along the front under the keys, another at the front of the top panel, etc.).
Is there anyone on the list that has seen both, and can comment on how close they really are (or aren't)?
Not sure what kind of feedback you're looking for but, in my old age, I remember the T8 being quite a bit thinner than the Chroma. Maybe 4-4.5 inches to the Chroma's about 6 inches. I also remember it being a little less deep than the Chroma. (One of those keyboardist "Remembering carrying one and putting it on the stand by yourself" memories). Not sure about the color, but I remember the Prophets as being a lighter brown stain than the Chroma sort-of-darkcherry. Could be wrong. The T8 was longer than the Chroma (more keys) so the front pieces would have been longer. The end panels were also shaped a bit differently. I thought they helped make the thinner T8 look even more sleek.
I can help here. I have two Chromas, Two Polarii and two T-8s. The T-8 is much thinner and has a longer keyboard. Like the chroma, the T-8 has an angled panel, and a flat top. The T-8 is covered in knobs. Every parameter is immediately accessible. The T-8 is an incredible synth. Buy one, or two. I'll take some quick pictures and post them early next week.
RE: Chroma: Woodwork on a Prophet T-8I was wondering how many Chromas were made ? And while were at it how many Chroma Polaris /Polaris II and Prophet T8s.
It is true the T8 is lighter in color and the woodwork is much thinner. Also the way they treated the on the chroma seems not quite the same.It changes over time. The varnish I mean !
I was wondering how many Chromas were made ?
Also, Peter Forrest addresses the issue in his revised version of "A-Z of Analogue [Rhodes]," which I posted a couple of days ago.
The general consensus seems to be that the number is significantly lower than Philips Dodds' estimate of 3000 in the "Synth That Survived ARP's Fall" article.
Here's one of the pictures comparing the Polaris to the T8.
Hello Mirko - I can see the Chroma & Expander on the registry list - but not the second Chroma. If you have the details for it, it would be nice to also have it in the registry.
Errr 0123, Errr 013 most of the time, Errr 01 had that a few time and lately even Errr 014. I have downloaded the Service Manual but don't seem to find a list with the Error Codes. I understand this has to do with the Voice Cards Failing. I will replace the LM358 OPAMPS and all the CMOS 4016,4013,4071 and might as well replace the 4175/4174 plus the capacitors on that board.
What do you guys think of replacing the whole Power Supply with a self made 7812,7912,7805 based power supply. I ve done that for my ARP 2600 and never had problems again. People were saying it is noisy... but it isn't. Or at least I can't hear any noise.
... Errr 0123, Errr 013 most of the time, Errr 01 had that a few time and lately even Errr 014. I have downloaded the Service Manual but don't seem to find a list with the Error Codes.
It is best not to think of the numbers as actual error codes; rather, they're board numbers. So Errr 0123 means voice cards 0, 1, 2 and 3 failed.
Similarly, Err 014 means that voice cards 0, 1 and 4 failed.
When I say 'fail' I really mean that the boards failed the auto-tune routine. This could be due to a faulty component on the voice board, on the channel mother board, on the I/O board, bad settings on the voice boards, a DAC out of whack - or back power supply voltages (among other things).
What do you guys think of replacing the whole Power Supply with a self made 7812,7912,7805 based power supply. I ve done that for my ARP 2600 and never had problems again.
I'm not sure of the design you might have in mind - but the Chroma will want to draw 2.5+ amps on the 5V rail, so it might be tough to do this with a straight 7805.
I certainly won't dissuade you from swapping out the Chroma's power supply - but I would recommend that you convince yourself as the source of the problems prior to going that route (i.e., you might find that the power supply is perfectly OK - but some other component is causing the problem). Troubleshooting failed voice cards is really not that bad, assuming you have a set of schematics and a 'scope/multimeter.
Moreover, the Chroma power supply features a +5V for digital logic and a separate a +5V for analog electronics, and a /RESET line is provided by the PSU in order to preserve non-volatile RAM from being corrupted at power-up transition. It's a quite critical item, indeed.
Therefore, I agree with David recommendations to investigate in the voice boards themselves; the first step is to annotate the failed board numbers, and then to swap boards from 0 to 3 with boards from 4 to 7, and see if the error code changes accordingly.
If it does, try to check the test point waveform on the failed voice boards, that should exhibit a 50% duty cycle, by adjusting the respective trimmer on top of the board; alternately, you can connect a headphone to the waveform output on the board itself, and adjust the relevant trimmer in order to obtain the sound as "hollow" as possible, i.e. with the less apparent amount of harmonics.
In order to re-test the boards after an adjustment, press [SET SPLIT]  in order to reset the logic.
A channel mother board contact cleaning, during the board swap process, is highly recommended.
I meant to say that if it boots up it shows theese Error Messages. But most the time it just stays there with all the leds lit on no Patch number or message displayed. I replaced all the capacitors in the PS. Still don wanna boot up. Pretty frustrating so far !
You guys got me convinced regarding the PS with the 79xx,79xx -If I have to I go for the Pro One MAP-80-4000 as described by Donald Tillman. I did pull one Voice Board after another ending up with no board to see if the voice boards create the problem .Still all Leds are on but no funcions are possible. Maybe I didn't express myself right. If it boots up it happend twice in a week then I get the error messages other than that the leds are on and that it no display no sound.
Maybe I didn't express myself right. If it boots up it happend twice in a week then I get the error messages other than that the leds are on and that it no display no sound.
When the Chroma fails to boot (and leaves the LEDS on), do all the LEDs come on - or just some of them (in a more or less random pattern)?
Power up the Chroma. Leave it powered in the state where the LEDS are on. While in this state, measure the voltages seen on the individual boards themselves (i.e., CPU board, I/O board, channel mother board). If one or more of the voltages look bad, try tracing back to the PSU to see where it became bad. If the voltage looks bad at the PSU and on a board, disconnect the power connector to that board, and see if the power rail then recovers.
Take a look at the clock signals being generated on the I/O board and the CPU board - and confirm they're as expected.
Look at the INT line to the processor and confirm that it is not permanently asserted (if it is, trace this back to see why).
((You can try to restart the CPU manually, by reasserting the reset signal while everything else is powered up. If this works then we might be looking at a power on/power up issue)).
In summary - when the board is failing to boot, go around the system and look for any unexpected behaviour/any behaviour that might prevent further booting.
All the Leds are on . Always ! How do I check the if the processor is out of reset ?
RESET is an active low signal on pin 37 of the 6809 (Z1) on the CPU board. Look at this pin. If the voltage is 5V or so, then reset has been de-asserted. If the voltage is 0v or so, the processor is being held in reset (use the schematic and start to trace back towards where the signal is generated on the power supply).
If reset is OK, then quickly look at Z1 pin 38 (main CPU clock)and then dig in from there.
I'm trying to find out the serial number to my unit.I have 21010261 on the Plate in the back. But on the Wood inside the Machine I have 21030495. Perhaps the Power Supply was Swapped at one point ?
That's most likely what occurred. I would refer to the unit by the S/N inside, and then just note that it has the other S/N marked on the outside (I have a Chroma Expander that actually has a Rhodes Chroma S/N tag on it - and I know for sure that it was the result of a power-supply swap at a repair shop).


"I've learned a great deal about the wide range of applications which statistics has to real world problems. I never realised what a demand there is for statisticians and the work they do. I always assumed that doing a maths degree would lead solely to a career in finance, investments or banking but I now appreciate the true scope of the subject."
I'd always thought I'd end up doing a maths degree at university but I got involved in the engineering education scheme at school and that opened up the possibility of studying this subject, too. I was undecided about what to study at a higher level, so I thought that undertaking a research placement in one area would give me some experience of the field and enable me to make a more informed choice.
I am working with NewRail at Newcastle University. They run a free, week-long programme in the summer called 'Rail Newcastle' which gives overseas students the chance to study in the UK. At the end of the programme, the organisers give each student two questionnaires to complete and I have been evaluating their responses. I am running a comparison with last year's results which were analysed by a previous Nuffield student. Throughout the project, I have been using the specialist 'Statistical Package for Social Sciences' (SSPS) software which has been very interesting.
What did you know about this area before you started the project?
I had studied a module in statistics as part of my core maths A-level but I obviously hadn't used the SSPS software before. I never really had the opportunity to experience working in an environment which used maths in a professional way; maths, for me, had always been very much a classroom-based activity. I can honestly say that it's been a great experience to see what it's like to actually 'do maths' in the real world.
I felt really good. Anna, my project supervisor, was very good with making me feel relaxed and welcome. We went for lunch with Chandra, another supervisor, and his two Nuffield students so I got to meet other people my own age. After a few days of finding my feet, I really enjoy getting into work each day. Everyone's friendly and they've gone out of their way to help me understand the project as well as making sure that I feel able to cope with the work I'm doing.
Definitely go for it: if you think that the scheme might benefit you then don't hesitate. It's a fantastic opportunity and everyone involved in my placement has been very welcoming. The experience has been very useful in helping me decide what I'd like to study at university. If you are at all unsure about the direction you want to go in after finishing school or college then I can wholeheartedly recommend the scheme to you.


The ultimate in versatility, our power clamp drum rotator can lift and tip drums and barrels from 50 to 220 litres. This unit is pneumatic-hydraulic powered and suitable for ATEX areas; gas and dust zones 1, 2, 21 and 22. An airline connection provides air to the system which powers all the hydraulic functions.
Our qualified engineers install the lift circuits and ensure they're fully compliant. We fit mandatory safety features and emergency stops on all of our drum handling equipment to keep you and your operators safe.
Each power-clamp drum rotator has a clamp pressure gauge located on the rear panel, operators are able to monitor the clamp pressure during use to ensure the drum remains clamped securely in the head. Burst valves protect hydraulic circuits from pressure drops should a hose be damaged during use.
If a large number of drums are being handled each day, our fully-powered model offers a great solution. Operators maneuver the unit up to the drum, clamp the pads securely around the circumference, lift and then tip the contents.
The powered functions save time along with reducing manual handling; as such this is a popular drum tilter for high-throughput applications.
The flexible pads adapt to the contours of the drums and are able to accommodate a wide range of drum diameters from 280mm to 610mm. The power-clamp pads can be configured to allow drums to be removed from the corner of a pallet. Each gripping head can be tailored to suit your specific lifting application. When handling only 200- to 220-litre drums flexible pads are not required, in this instance we can supply fixed radius pads with a rubber lining.
Ackermann rear-wheel steering gives you maximum directional control when tipping drums into your process. The wheels are 160mm in diameter and contain two rubber-sealed (RS) precision bearings, and we fit park brakes on all models. We can also provide you with custom leg configurations along with a power-drive option, should you need them.
Our power-clamp unit is universal by design and is suitable for a wide range of drum types and sizes. The versatile clamping pads can be provided for handling drums with a diameter range of between 280mm and 610mm; the drum rotator can handle drums of up to 1000mm in height.
When explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres exist, we are able to supply ATEX compliant drum tipping equipment. Our pneumatic-hydraulic model can be certified for use in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 environments.
Each of our ATEX drum handlers are designed to ensure electrical continuity, a path to ground is always present. We supply a manufacturer's EU Declaration of Conformity which states compliance with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
We can provide an ATEX version of this model, suitable for use in an ATEX Zone 1 environment and certified to ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
We can offer a range of stainless finishes on this product, suitable for clean rooms as well as good manufacturing practice (GMP) areas.
When moving drums over long distances you may need power drive. Our power-drive tiller steering offers effortless control utilising a unique pneumatic drive system.
Single- and dual-mast models are available, depending on the lift height required. Single masts offer around 1500mm lift whereas telescopic masts offer 2700mm.
When machinery integration is critical we can modify leg dimensions to suit your facility.
With our load-cell system you can weigh drums while you handle them. A wireless handheld display provides real-time weight information for quantity-sensitive processes.
View the instruction manual for our Power Clamp Drum Tipper (Pneumatic), which details how to safely operate and maintain the unit.

Q: How to automatic send data without a form or submit I'd like to send data from a php file to another php file.
I don't wana use a form!
In case it is possible i don't even wana use javascript.
So i was thinking:
//File 1.php
SEND $data TO href='2.php';
echo 'window.location = "2.php"'; // i know this is Js

//File 2.php
$_GET['data'];
echo $data;

No submit button!

A: Send it via the URL, that's what GET method is for (amongst other things) :)
header("Location: 2.php?data=HelloGirls");

Then 2.php can fetch is using $_GET
echo $_GET['data'];

+No JS required anywhere :)

A: This should be the code of the first php file which will submit the data to the 2nd php file
$content = http_build_query (array (
'field1' => 'Value1',
'field2' => 'Value2',
'field3' => 'Value3',
.....................
.....................
.....................
));

$context = stream_context_create (array (
'http' => array (
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => $content,
)
));

$result = file_get_contents('your2ndphpfile.php', null, $context);

A: You can use file_get_contents(); to get data from another file.
But i think there is now any way that you can send data from one php file to another php file without form submission

Fonds - Records of the Economic Policy Reform Sector
WB/IBRD/IDA WB_IBRD/IDA_105
Records of the Economic Policy Reform Sector
1984 - 2005 (predominantly 1997-2005) (Creation)
169.66 linear feet of textual records
Economic Policy Reform Sector
The Economic Policy Reform Sector includes those departments that were responsible for policy, review, and operational support functions related to the areas of macroeconomic growth, fiscal policy, international trade, structural adjustment, and debt management. These functions primarily lie in the Economic Policy Division (PRMEP) of the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Network (PREM), as well as in related units such as the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Unit (PRMHP) and the International Trade Department (PRMTR).
The creation of PRMEP occurred as part of a Bank-wide reorganization in 1997 that included the introduction of Bank networks and a simultaneous reorganization of the Development Economics Vice Presidency (DEC); the Bank's research and policy development group. As part of the latter, functions then maintained by DEC, such as research and policy work and operational support in fields related to economic policy reform as well as country strategy and adjustment operational review, were transferred into PRMEP. This move was made in order to promote greater collaboration between DEC, sector departments, Bank Regions, and other networks related to economic policy reform. Further, it was recognized that the country strategy and adjustment operations review functions were unsustainable in DEC and more appropriate in a sector department which offered closer proximity to staff and operational work in the Bank's regions and the ability to work across Bank operations as a network division.
During the DEC reorganization, three DEC units were terminated: the global economics research oriented International Economics Department (IEC); the development economics policy research oriented Policy Research Department (PRD); and the Development Policy Group (DPG), which was responsible for adjustment operations and country strategy review. Before its termination, IEC consisted of the following divisions: the International Trade Division (IECIT); the International Finance Division (IECIF); the International Economic Analysis and Prospects Division (IECAP); the Systems Division (IECSD); and the Socio-Economic Data Division (IECSE). PRD included the following divisions: the Environment, Infrastructure and Agriculture Division (PRDEI); the Finance and Private Sector Development Division (PRDFD); the Poverty and Human Resources Division (PRDPH); the Public Economics Division (PRDPE); the Trade Policy Division (PRDTP); and the Transition and Macro-Adjustment Division (PRDTM). DPG did not have subordinate units.
The functions and staff of IEC, PRD, and DPG were subsequently absorbed into the following new units: the Development Research Group (DECRG) and the Development Prospects Group (DECPG) in DEC, and the Economic Policy Division (PRMEP). DECRG absorbed the divisions, functions, and budget of PRD, and was established as the primary development economics policy research unit in Bank operations. The former IECIF, IECAP, and the subordinate Commodity Policy and Analysis Unit (IECCP) were merged to create the new DECPG,replacing IEC as the Bank's primary global economics and financial analysis policy research unit. The Economic Policy Division (PRMEP) absorbed economic research staff from both the PRD and IEC divisions. The DPG functions and staff were primarily mapped and absorbed into PRMEP, but other adjustment operations and country strategies review staff were also mapped into the other PREM divisions, including: the Gender Division (PRMGE); the Poverty Division (PRMPO); and the Public Sector Management Division (PRMPS).
PRMEP was responsible for coordinating World Bank strategy, knowledge management, quality enhancement, staffing and professional development, and partnerships related to economic policy. More specifically, PRMEP objectives included:
preparing and maintaining a knowledge base in selected areas;
coordinating Bank activities: Country Assistance Strategies (CAS), adjustment loans, technical assistance (TA) loans, economic sector work (ESW), seminars, workshops, local capacity building;
building and maintaining data bases, analytical tools and other resource materials to reduce costs;
improving consensus with partners by constructing a Bank view on relevant topics; and
improving staff skills.
PRMEP supported operational and policy work in five thematic areas: development effectiveness; macroeconomic and financial management; growth and inequality; macroeconomic sustainability and creditworthiness; and trade and competiveness. The functions of PRMEP were undertaken in close collaborationwith DECRG and DECPG, the Bank regions, and the other departments of PREM.
PRMEP was governed by the Economic Policy (EP) Sector Board. The EP Sector Board main objectives included:
strengthening the analytical underpinnings of Country Assistance Strategies (CASs);
improving the quality of economic analysis and policy dialogue; and
advising the Bank on strategic economic policy matters including adjustment lending operations.
The EP Sector Board consisted primarily of representatives from theabove mentioned units, and representatives from the Finance, Private Sector Development, and Infrastructure Network (FPSI). Many of DEC's representatives on the Sector Board served in a dual appointment within DEC units and PRMEP. This was done to promote greater synergy and cross-support between economic policy research and operational staff in DEC, PREM, and the Bank regions.
Homi Kharas assumed the role of Director for PRMEP in July 1997.
In 2000, the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Unit (PRMHP) was established in PREM, following the termination of the Debt Initiative Group (AFTD1), which was focused on HIPC related issues and located in the Africa Vice Presidency (AFR). The HIPC Initiative, a joint program of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, was originally launched in 1996 and served as a comprehensive country debt relief program that worked in close collaboration with bilateral creditors, other multilateral banks, and representatives from civil society groups and non-governmentalorganizations (NGOs). At its inception, the AFTD1 was placed in the Africa Vice Presidency (AFR) primarily because most countries eligible under the HIPC program were located in Sub-Saharan Africa. AFTD1 was replaced by PRMHP, however, due to the raised profile of the program following the launch of the Enhanced HIPC Initiative in 1999 and an increasing number of eligible heavily indebted poor countries in other regions. PRMHP was created in order to serve as the main implementation unit in the Bank. PRMHP operated as a separate unit in PREM but coordinated closely with PRMEP in the area of debt management within the thematic area of macroeconomic sustainability and creditworthiness. PRMHP would later be merged in 2005, however, with PRMEP due to the growing demand of debt management advisory services in Bank operations. Axel von Trotsenburg, the former Manager of AFTD1, assumed the role of Senior Manager for PRMHP.
In 2000, Uri Dadush assumed the dual appointment of Director for PRMEP and DECPG.
In 2002, the international trade functions were transferred from PRMEP to a new International Trade Department (PRMTR) within PREM. Uri Dadush was appointed the new Director for PRMTR. With Dadush's new appointment, Yaw Ansu was named Director for PRMEP. The PRMEP was re-organized shortly thereafter to coordinate economic policy work in the following thematic economic policy areas:
growth and labor markets;
managing volatility;
fiscal policy;
subnational regional economies; and
data and tools foreconomic analysis.
Operational and policy work focused on the following areas:
macroeconomic management in the areas of economic growth, debt management, fiscal sustainability, managing volatility, and subnational economic management;
integrative policy analysis; and
country strategies.
PRMEP functions included: providing support to economic sector work (ESW) in the Regions; reviewing Country Assistance Strategies (CASs) and adjustment operations; preparing papers for the Executive Board; preparing policy notes on major country or global economic developments or issues; preparing briefs and speeches for senior management; and leading special task forces.
In 2004, PRMHP was mapped into the Debt Department (PRMDE) located in PREM. Around 2005, PRMDE was merged with PRMEP and renamed the Economic Policy and Debt Department (PRMED).
In 2005, Vikram Nehru replaced Ansu as Director of PRMED and in 2008, Carlos A. Primo Braga succeeded him.
As of 2014, PRMED continues to be responsible for the Bank's operational and policy work on macroeconomic management and growth, fiscal policy, and debt issues. It also continues to play a significant role in debt management activities. In addition to the HIPC Initiative, it is involved in coordinating: the multi-donor Debt Management Facility (DMF); the Debt Reduction Initiative; the Debt Reduction Facility (DRF) for IDA-Only Countries; the Debt Sustainability Framework (DSF); and medium-term debt management strategies (MTDS).
Records were transferred to the World Bank Group Archives using approved records retention and disposition schedules assigned to PRMEP, PRMDE, PRMED, and PRMTR or a Bank-wide schedule for common records.
Country project files
The fonds includes country project files from 1984 to 2002. The country project files include extensive records related to Structural Adjustment Loans (SALs) and Sector Adjustment Loans (SECALS) administered for individual countries. PRMEP inherited the responsibility to review and coordinate sector adjustment operations and Country Assistance Strategies (CASs) from the Development Policy Group (DPG) of DEC in 1997. Many of the records created prior to PRMEP include records from the following units: the Country Policy Department (CPD); the Economic Advisory Staff (EAS); and DPG. The SAL and SECAL related records in the country project files include: memoranda; aide-memoires; Terms of Reference; back-to-office reports completed for pre-appraisal and post-appraisal missions for SALs and SECALS; Country Strategy Paper (CSP) mission reports; SALs and SECALS program performance audit and progress reports; initiating memoranda for SALs and SECALs; country project proposals; Loan Committee meeting minutes regarding the approval and progress of SALs and SECALs of a particular country; and loan agreements. Correspondence and memoranda within the country projects files primarily include communications from staff in units responsible for maintaining and reviewing structural adjustment operations and country strategies, including: CPD from the years 1984 to 1987; EAS from the years 1987 to 1991; and DPG from the years 1991 to 1997. Much of the correspondence and memoranda are also communications between CPD, EAS, DPG and Regional VPs, Directors, and economic staff regarding the planning, status, review, and approval of country SALs/ SECALs and country strategies. Other communications are between units from the Development Economics Vice Presidency (DEC), and Regions regarding collaboration on SALs or SECALs.
Records created after 1997 in the country project files include correspondence and memoranda between the following parties: the PREM VP; the PRMEP Director; Regional VPs, Directors, and economicstaff; the Development Research Group (DECRG); the Development Prospects Group (DECPG); the Operations Evaluation Department (OED); members of the Regional Operations Committee (ROC); members of the Operations Policy Committee (OPC); and the Managing Director of Operations (MDOPS). The memoranda and correspondence primarily focus on review and approval of Country Assistance Strategies (CASs) and structural adjustment operations specific to countries. Draft CAS reports, SALs/SECALs reports, SALs/SECALs project information, and Memoranda of the President regarding CASs are also included with extensive comments by the above mentioned parties. Meeting minutes and agenda from OPC and ROC regarding review and approval of CASs and SALs /SECALs specific to a country are also included. The country project files focus on numerous types of SALs/SECALs administered in a country for various sectors, including but not limited to : Financial Sector Adjustment Loans (FSAL); Financial and Enterprise Sector Adjustment Loans (FESAL); Agricultural Sector Adjustment Loans (ASAL); Economic & Financial Adjustment Loans (EFAL); and Social Security Sector Adjustment Loans (SECAL).
The fonds also consists of management and organization records for PRMEP and its successor the Economic Policy and Debt Department (PRMED) from 1997 to 2005. This includes: Economic Policy (EP) Sector Board meeting minutes; business plans; work programs and budget records; staffing records; and workshops, seminars, and professional development training session records. The records also include broader PREM Network organization and management records, including: PREM Council meeting minutes; memoranda; PREM retreat records; and PREM Week planning records. Records detailing PRMEP collaboration with DEC and its subordinate units the Development Research Group (DECRG), the Development Prospects Group (DECPG), and the Economic Development Institute (EDI) are also included. These consist of: correspondence and memoranda between the DEC Vice President, DECRG, DECPG, and PRMEP; economic data, statistics, and policy reports produced by DECRG, DECPG, and PRMEP; Knowledge Management System (KMS) records related to the management of PRMEP's website and economic data and systems in collaboration with DECRG and DECPG; planning records for proposed economic research coordinated by DECRG, DECPG, and PRMEP; and economic training planning records organized jointly by EDI and PRMEP. Correspondence and memoranda related to PRMEP's participation in Bank-IMF Annual Meetings and involvement with the annual publication of the Bank's World Development Report (WDR) are also included for the years 1998 to 2000.
Project and operational support
The fonds also consists of project and operational support records for PRMEP from 1997 to 2004. This includes thematic group planning records and country project planning and budget records related to economic sector work (ESW). The records also relate to the development of DEC/PREM Country Performance Ratings and Indicators, later renamed the Country Policy and Institutional Assessments (CPIA), and the subsequent implementation of CPIA in the regions.

Melt the oil in a saucepan and sauté the celery, carrot, shallot and garlic for 3-5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the lentils and spices, stirring to combine evenly. Add the water, bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the sweet potato, bring to a boil again, then turn the heat down and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat and sprinkle in the dulse flakes and tapioca starch. Let cool while preparing the dough.
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, process the flours and coconut oil together until the mixture resembles small crumbs. Add the milk, and process until combined. Gradually add spoonfuls of the iced water, pulsing as you go, just until the moment the dough forms into a ball.
Scoop out of the processor and knead with your hands for 2-3 minutes. Form into even balls, and roll out on a well-floured surface.
Fill half of each round generously with the cooled filling. Fold the unfilled pastry side over the filling and pinch the edges together well, so that there are no gaps. Crimp with the tines of a fork, if desired.
Place onto the lined baking sheet and continue assembling each pasty.
Brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Bon anniversaire Surete du Quebec: consistently corrupt for 38-plus years.

And to that I would add, "and citizens".
Meanwhile, the Quebec Union of Professional Journalists @FPJQ is calling for a full public inquiry into the matter. To which I say, get in line.
The FPJQ can have their inquiry AFTER we get our inquiry into the police mishandling of unsolved murders in Quebec, and the destruction of physical evidence (a matter equally systemic across Quebec police forces as the monitoring of media email and telephone calls).
With all due respect to the journalism profession in Quebec, let's not lionize the media. Over 38 years I can count on my hands the number of reporters who were dedicated and thorough. Most of the hard investigative work was not done by police, NOT BY JOURNALISTS. It was done by private citizens like myself.
Really? You're just now realizing how this works?
In a presser last night Chief Public Security Bobblehead, Martin Coiteux opened his mouth and offered nothing but his persistent and unconvincing performance that he was just as shocked as all of us.
The Minister is out of step with the people: None of us are shocked. The game is rigged. The fox is guarding the fox-house.


It's been six months since I've had two four-packs of North Coast Brewing's Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout againg in my fridge. One pack has been standing up straight and the other has been laid on its side. After six months of aging, will I be able to tell the difference? Does it matter if you lay down beer or stand it up? That's what I' m trying to find out. Thanks to my buddy and co-worker Robert for coming over and helping out with this experiment. Hopefully we can get a third or fourth person to help out on the one-year anniversary next May!

To ensure that Chicago's already scarce affordable housing stock is not further depleted, LCBH advocates on behalf of tenant unions and small groups of renters in foreclosure properties, as well as other buildings faced with building-wide issues. LCBH educates renters on their rights under the Keep Chicago Renting ordinance and the Residential Landlord and Tenant ordinance; negotiates with recalcitrant landlords to improve conditions issues; and represents tenants in court or administrative hearings to assert their right to live in rental housing that is code compliant. LCBH's work is critical keeping buildings with affordable units online and viable, and ensuring low-income families are not forced out of their units. In 2016, LCBH worked to preserve 20 buildings (that's 315 affordable rental units!) in Chicago.
Ensuring the laws protecting renters are upheld throughout the foreclosure process.
