The MSEs are broadly classified as manufacturing enterprises and service enterprises. The manufacturing enterprises are engaged in the manufacturing or production, processing or preservation of goods. Service enterprises are engaged in providing or rendering of services. Axis Bank has a certain policy on lending to MSEs. You can get general information on Axis Bank's policy on MSEs below.
The Micro and Small Enterprise (MSE) sector contributes significantly to manufacturing output, employment and exports of the country. MSE sector, in terms of value contributes for 45% of the manufacturing output and 40% of total exports of the country. Keeping in view the regulatory requirements, Axis Bank has initiated a focused approach to ensure flow of credit to the MSE sector. Our Bank follows the broad guidelines issued under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act, 2006. Herein below, we furnish the Bank's Policy on MSEs.
Manufacturing Enterprises: Enterprises engaged in the manufacturing or production, processing or preservation of goods.
Micro (manufacturing) Enterprises – Original Investment in plant and machinery does not exceed Rs 25 lakhs.
Small (manufacturing) Enterprises – Original Investment in plant and machinery is more than Rs 25 lakhs but does not exceed Rs 5 crores.
Service Enterprises: Enterprises engaged in providing /rendering of services.
Micro (service) Enterprises – Original Investment in equipment (original cost excluding land and building and furniture, fittings and other items not directly related to the service rendered or as may be notified under the MSMED Act, 2006) does not exceed Rs 10 lakhs.
Small (service) Enterprises – Original Investment in equipment (original cost excluding land and building and furniture, fittings and other items not directly related to the service rendered or as may be notified under the MSMED Act, 2006) is more than Rs 10 lacs but does not exceed Rs 2 cores.
Service Enterprises shall include small road and water transport operators, small businesses, professional and self employed persons, retail traders and all other service enterprises.
40% of the total advances to Small Enterprises sector should go to Micro (manufacturing) enterprises having investment in plant and machinery (original cost) upto Rs 10 lacs and Micro (service) Enterprises having investment in equipment upto Rs 4 lacs.
20 % of the total advances to small enterprises sector should go to Micro (manufacturing) enterprises with investment in plant and machinery above Rs 10 lacs and upto Rs 25 lacs, micro (service) enterprises with investment in equipment above Rs 4 lacs and upto Rs 10 lacs. Thus 60 % of the Small Enterprises advances should go to the Micro Enterprises.
The Bank provides finance to the MSE sector in India through 41 dedicated Centres/Cells well spread out throughout the country. We have a strong professional team placed at these Centres to evaluate the borrowers' needs and provide customized solutions.
We have created the following products exclusively for the MSE sector. These are template products, which follow a simple scorecard model for Rating, simple appraisal process, decentralized sanctioning powers, quick Turnaround Time (TAT) and offers wide range of facilities that include working capital, term loans & non fund based facilities. These are generally secured by collateral security. The Bank also provides traditional credit facilities like Cash credit/overdraft, Loan against Deposits/property, Bill discounting, Non fund based credit facilities, Export credit etc. to MSE borrowers through a few other templated products, as well as non-templated products.
Micro Power (MSEs-Manufacturing & Services).

We monitor movement of loan applications centrally through Loan Origination Software (LOS). Bank is also in the process of developing system for linkage of LOS to web site for online tracking of the applications. Loan Origination Software captures reasons for rejections, in case of rejection of application.
The rating tool captures the Financial/ Business parameters for any enterprise between a scale of SME 1 and SME 8. The Credit/ Business risk of the firm is captured in the rating and the pricing is based on the same. Meticulous KYC norms are followed by the Bank. As part of the due diligence process, we check the CIBIL score of the borrowers, check RBI/ECGC defaulters list etc.
The appraisal process involves obtaining KYC of the applicant, evaluating the profile of the prospect, business viability, past credit history, future potential, cash flows, unit visit, end use etc. All applications for credit limit / enhancement in existing credit limit upto Rs 5.00 lacs will be disposed off within two weeks and for credit limits above Rs 5.00 lacs upto Rs 25.00 lacs within four weeks from the date of receipt, provided the application is complete in all respects.
The credit facilities would be secured by primary and collateral security wherever applicable and as per the Credit Policy of the Bank from time to time.

Restructuring will be done strictly on merits and as per RBI guidelines. Bank has a Board approved policy on restructuring of borrowal accounts, including loans to MSEs. The units identified are monitored closely by Relationship Managers dealing with these accounts in order to understand reasons for the stress and to understand the feasibility of additional funding to the customer. The RBI guidelines on Rehabilitation of Sick Micro & Small Enterprises have been communicated to all our officers in order to reiterate the need to identify potentially sick accounts at an early stage in order to take corrective action.
Bank's Corporate Banking Operations (CBO) Dept. supervises the credit operations in respect of MSE business segment.

For foreign currency loans, RBI guidelines issued from time to time will be applicable. All foreign currency loans / imports / Buyers credit arranged shall be hedged by way of suitable forward contracts. The percentage of hedge cover would depend on the internal rating of the enterprise. However, where a natural hedge exists, hedging is not necessary to that extent.

A calendar of training is drawn at the beginning of each year, which is circulated to all the SME Centres seeking nominations for the programmes.


I am looking for ways to start seeds for my garden that are cheaper than buying greenhouses. Money is extremely tight right now and I thought that some of you "green thumbs" might know of an easy, works-great way to recycle containers for greenhouses.
I make a mini green house out of a large clear plastic tote. It has a dark lid, so it attracts heat on cold days. The lid becomes the tray on the bottom and the base is the dome over top. Just make sure you allow air in it during the day as the weather gets warmer or you'll roast your veggies before they're grown!
If you ever get a cake (sheet cake is best) from a bakery, save the plastic container it comes in. This is a perfect starter for seeds. Simply put your peat pots (or use egg cartons) inside and water lightly and then put the clear top back on. It is like a mini green house.
My father-in-law used this method and his entire backyard was once a gardener's dream. He would start his plants in old cube trays that he didn't use anymore and then place the seedlings in a sunny location with old milk jugs cut in half over the plants. When the seedlings were ready to transplant into the ground, he would reuse the jugs, place the jugs on the seedlings at night, and remove the jugs midmorning. It worked great. He lived in Erie, PA and he had tomatoes growing from early June until late September in his garden.
I put two rows of seeds, evenly spaced, in between two wet paper towels, then place the whole pack in a zipper freezer bag to hold in the moisture. I then place this on top of the refrigerator, near the back where the motor is. The heat from the fridge running and the moisture of the towels will make the seeds germinate. Once they are showing roots and stems, I cut the paper towels apart (be careful not to cut the roots) and plant the tiny towel square with a seedling in it.
To plant, I use window boxes indoors, planting long lines of seedlings and culling as they get larger. It is important not to use old cloth towels instead of paper towels, because they will not decompose fast enough and will rot the seedlings. Also do not pull the seedlings off and try to reuse the paper towels, or you will rip the stems and roots.
Use a tomato paste tin or a soup tin and wrap several layers of newspaper (cut these papers about two inches longer than the can you are using) around it and fold in at the bottom. Slip off the tin, and you have a biodegradable pot in which to grow your seeds. Plant the whole pot in soil. Be sure to cover all the newspaper with soil when you plant or the newspaper will wick the moisture out of the ground.
Save seeds from flowers that you or your friends grow. Ask friends and neighbors if they are splitting up any of their perennials and if they would give you a few (share or trade any perennials that you have too).
The reader should check out the website www.gardenweb.com. Click on the forum area and read the winter sowing forum, the growing from seed forum, and any others of interest. There is also a plant and seed exchange. Winter sowing has been highly successful for me. By buying seeds when on sale at 10 for $1 and trading, it can be quite inexpensive. It is possible to have a yard full of flowers for about $7.
We've started our own seedlings for over 20 years now, mostly with great success. Although you can do it without additional lighting, fluorescent lights make a world of difference in the end result. We don't use the fancy designer models, but instead we use the shop lights that are available all over rather cheaply. You can encircle three sides of these lights with an aluminum foil wall to increase the lighting. As for seed starting containers, almost anything will do. The main thing is that you want good drainage.
For the best seedlings, use a good seed starting mix. Seeds often don't sprout well in regular potting soil as it can be heavy. Pay attention to the seed packet instructions. Some seedlings, particularly flowers, require light to germinate and must not be covered up. I've read that the biggest mistake we can make is to plant seeds too deeply.
Once your plants have attained two true leaves (as opposed to those initial two that come up), then repot to a larger container. For the soil in these, I generally use a mix of seed starter and cheap potting soil. You can always use your own compost, but I've never done that. We start around 800 seedlings per year and getting that much compost seems a daunting task.
Your plants may need some fertilizer and you can use an organic one or get some time-release product. This spring, as your friends are setting out their store-bought seedlings, make sure you let them know that you could use their flower pots and containers. Good luck and happy gardening. It's easier than you think!


Annette Bongiorno, 70, secretary to Bernie Madoff, was released from prison. She had been sentenced to 6 years in prison and had served about 2/3 of her term. She was eligible for early release under the new federal law, the First Step Act, which just became effective last week. Her advanced age was one factor in her eligibility for early release. At the time of her sentencing, the federal judge recommended that she spend her last year of her term at home.
During her testimony at trial, Ms. Bongiorno admitted to owning a Bentley and two Mercedes-Benzes. She also said that she had become frugal as she grew older, selling her Boca Raton home and downsizing by purchasing a condominium for $6.5 million. She had a $50 million investment account, a $300,000 salary per year, and the luxury of being shuttled to work in a car service each day. During her testimony she assured the court that the perks were not a means of keeping her quiet. She said that she never understood anything; she just typed what she was told to type.
Right there might have been a clue. Also, a secretary with three luxury vehicles might also have been a red flag. "I knew nothing" is a popular defense these days, in business and politics.

SERAP wants 'security votes' included in 2021 budget
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has sent Freedom of Information requests to President Muhammadu Buhari and 36 state governors urging them to "disclose details of proposed 'security votes' spending in your 2021 appropriation bills to ensure the security and welfare of Nigerians, and to explain the measures your governments are putting in place to prevent the misuse and embezzlement of public funds in the name of security votes."
SERAP said: "In the wake of the abduction of over 300 students from the Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State, and ongoing security challenges in several parts of the country, the time has come to demonstrate transparency and accountability in the spending of public funds meant to secure people's lives and property."
In the FoI requests dated December 26, 2020 and signed by SERAP deputy director Kolawole Oluwadare, the organization said: "Disclosing details of spending as security votes for 2021 would serve to engage the Nigerian people in an honest conversation about the security challenges confronting the country, and what the federal and state governments are doing to respond to them. This is a legitimate public interest matter."
SERAP also said: "While SERAP understands that authorities may keep certain matters of operational secrets from the people in the name of national security, there is no constitutional or legal basis to hide basic information on public spending from the people."
SERAP expressed "concerns that the intense secrecy and lack of meaningful oversight of the government's spending of security votes have for many years contributed to mismanagement and large-scale corruption in the sector, as well as limited the ability of the people to hold high-ranking public officials to account for their constitutional responsibility to ensure the security and welfare of the people."
According to SERAP: "Your government's responsibility to guarantee and ensure the security and welfare of the Nigerian people is closely interlinked with your responsibility under Section 15(5) of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended] to abolish all corrupt practices and abuse of office. This imposes a fundamental obligation to promote transparency and accountability in security votes spending, and to remove opportunities for corruption."
The FoI requests, read in part: "Nigerians have the right to know what the government is doing in their name. The framers of the Nigerian Constitution never contemplated opaque spending of public funds as security votes. Transparency and accountability would ensure that the policies and action that the government will pursue to guarantee the security of Nigerians are truly relevant and effective in keeping them safe."
"We would be grateful if the requested information is provided to us within 7 days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter. If we have not heard from you by then, SERAP shall take all appropriate legal action under the Nigerian Constitution, the Freedom of Information Act, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights to compel you to comply with our request."
"Successive governments have failed to effectively discharge their primary and constitutional responsibility to protect the lives and property of Nigerians. This is patently contrary to Section 14(2)(b) of the Nigerian Constitution, which provides that 'the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.'"

In order to participate in this Live Chat the only requirement is that you have the latest version of the Adobe Flash player. Good news! If you're reading these instructions you already have it. If anyone you're attempting to chat with is having trouble loading the Live chat, they should go to www.adobe.com and upgrade to the latest version of the Flash player.
If you want chat participants to see and hear you on webcam, you'll need a webcam and a microphone. In order to eliminate sound echo you must ensure sound emitted from your computer speakers cannot travel back through your microphone, causing a sound loop (the source of echo). Echo can be avoiding by utilizing a headset or headphones, or by using a microphone or speakerphone with echo canceling technology.
Automatically follows your movements. Everything you need to use the Live Chat system. Click for more details at Amazon.com.
Includes noise-canceling microphone and in-line volume control. Great when paired with a stand-alone webcam. Click for more details at Amazon.com.

Question: I clicked the webcam icon but my webcam did not come on. What should I do?
Answer: Generally, most webcams will activate when you click the webcam icon on the Control Bar. If yours does not, make sure you can see your webcam feed using the software that came with your webcam. Once you can, close down your webcam software and then try clicking the webcam icon on the Control Bar again. If you have an issues, first check to make sure the webcam is working properly. This can be done by turning off your computer, unplugging the webcam, turning your computer on and then plugging it back in. Let the system pick up the webcam, possibly reinstall or repair drivers and then see if that works. If not, chances are another problem is occurring between either the webcam or its connection.
Question: My webcam is on, I can see my feed using the software that came with my webcam, but after closing that software and then clicking the webcam icon on the Control Bar I still cannot see my feed.
While most of the time your webcam will be auto recognized, many things can affect Live Chat's ability to accurately detect your webcam, such as the age of your webcam, method by which it connects to your computer, and version of your Operating System (OS). Older operating systems are more likely to have difficulties detecting your webcam. One thing you can try is downloading Skype from www.skype.com. Skype is one of the most popular services online where webcams are frequently used. Does your webcam work with Skype? If it does not, it's a good indicator it's time to upgrade to a newer webcam.
Question: I use my webcam with other applications. Is that a problem?
Answer: Possibly. Close all software before starting a new webcam session Sometimes after you finish using the webcam in a software application, the program may not properly release the webcam for other activities in other applications, or even the same application. Sometimes you cannot use the webcam because it is being accessed by another program by default. So, if you are having a problem with your webcam, close the program you are using it in, reboot your computer, and then try using the Live Chat application again.
Question: Should I do anything with webcam drivers?
Answer: If everything else has failed, try downloading the latest drivers and updates for your webcam. Some webcams may not be recognized by the Live Chat application unless you have the most recent drivers and updates for your webcam. If you installed the webcam separately, go to the webcam manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers, updates, plug-ins, or conversion utilities for any webcam video software. TIP: Be sure to verify the webcam drivers and software are compatible with the OS version of Windows or Mac you are using!
Question: Nothing has worked. I think I need to buy a new webcam. Any other suggestions?
Answer: Sometimes new hardware is the only solution. While waiting for your new webcam to arrive, have you considered using a laptop computer with this Live Chat? Most laptops sold today come with a built-in webcam.


Military vehicles are built to withstand harsh treatment while operating in extreme conditions. Maintenance crews are challenged to ensure that assets are returned to theatre of operations as quickly as possible and minimise the incidents of premature mechanical failure in the field.
Maintenance facilities may not be ideal in many circumstances and oils may be subject to unavoidable contamination. Also, some vehicles carry additional armour, which may hinder the maintenance process, and extend maintenance turnaround time.
Oilaway Technical Solutions will ensure that oil access points are readily available and the need for lengthy strip down and rebuild is avoided. Also Oilaway resolves oil contamination issues (caused by sand etc.) which may infiltrate during the maintenance cycle, by implementing a fully sealed system that drains, refreshes and disposes of oil waste products in only a few minutes.

I have a very summery tag to share using bright colors and the "New" surfboard stamp by The Blank Page Muse.
Hearty Doodles - texture stamps.
Gems, pearls and other small embellishments.
Start of by using three different colored mist sprays on the tag as shown.
Apply a stencil mask using modelling paste and then sprinkle over the top with embossing powder.
Heat the powder until it has set and the modelling paste has dried. Next tack a mixture of texture stamps and stamp them randomly around the tag.
Stamp out the surfboard stamp and flip flops onto card and spray with inks to add colour. Once this has dried cut it out and adhere to tag.
Stamp out the sentiment onto card and ink before cutting out and adding to the tag.
Finish the tag off by adding a variety of embellishments.
So fun and such perfect color choices, makes me feel Summer. That texture, to die for!


I am this weird-looking thing with wing-like protrusions coming out of my back.
Also on top of my back is a gigantic boulder that was put there right after my birth.
I'm sorry, that isn't exactly correct—the boulder is no longer on top of my back.
I flung the rock off of my back, or it shuffled off of there, pretty gradually over time.
I cannot fully know the story of the boulder, but after a certain day, I was free of it.
I flew into the air immediately and it was horrifying. I flew into the sun and lived.
You—specifically you, whom I love—must aid me in destroying that one boulder.
It does not matter if you understand why the boulder must die [or break apart].
Here is exactly one choice, and then I may fly away: love the boulder, or love me back.

I.Basic structure and function of theater seating
Theater seating is composed of seat, back, armrest and station. In general, the station and armrest are integrated to form a firmly installed handrail frame. The composition structure is generally steel-wood structure or steel-plastic structure.
It is applicable to theaters, auditoriums, lecture halls and other places. There should be a good line of sight during meetings and performances. The seats shall be easy to repair and clean. They should be comfortable to make people less tired.
Design features of theater seating
In most cases, it adopts the sofa type cushion. In order to facilitate the evacuation of personnel when leaving, the reversible structure of seat cushion is mostly used. The seat number and local lighting facilities in the dark shall be considered for the seat to facilitate the user to identify and find the seat.
According to the needs of use and site design, the seats in the auditoriums need to place documents and writing tablet for recording. For special auditoriums, it also need to consider the combination with simultaneous interpretation equipment and voting and speaking equipment; Some theaters or auditoriums also require seats to match with the air conditioning system.
Theater seating station foot
Single pedestal supporting seat
In addition to its aesthetics, the station foot supports the central point of seats, it is also convenient to connect the chair legs with other facilities of the environment, such as vents and power interfaces. Because the connection mode of single pedestal is relatively complex, the cost of single pedestal mechanism is increased accordingly.
Seat with armrest standing on the floor
It is firm and reliable, easy to fix and install. The handrail frame is combined with the foot, and the structure is simple. The standing foot is the basis for the support of theater seating, and is normally fixed directly to the ground with anchor bolts.
Theater seating armrest
The armrest of theater seating is the basic support of whole seat, and the main components of seat are connected with the armrest. The structure of armrests is divided into:
Metal frame: the framework of armrest, which is basically the supporting connector of the whole theater seating.
Armrest board: it is made of wood or other materials such as plastic,
Writing tablet mechanism: the armrest of theater seating can be installed with a writing tablet mechanism for meeting minutes.
Theater seating pack
Theater seating pack is generally composed of fabric, sponge cushion, inner frame, rotating mechanism and outer plate.
Fabric: it usually adopts hemp soft cloth, velveteen or car velvet fabrics; Some also use genuine leather and imitation leather as fabrics.
Sponge cushion: it is made of PU (polyurethane) foam, and the density of 40~60Kg/M3 is more appropriate.
Inner frame: according to different designs, the curved wood splint and plastic plate are used for simple structure, and the spring metal frame and plastic inner shell are used for advanced seats.
Rotating mechanism: it is divided into gravity recovery mechanism and spring recovery mechanism,
The gravity recovery mechanism is simple and reliable without maintenance. It is often equipped with rubber silencing pad to eliminate impact and noise during recovery;
The spring recovery can reduce the volume of the recovery mechanism, and the structural design is flexible. With the damping device, the recovery movement can be controlled, the movement becomes slow, and the impact and noise can be completely eliminated;
In addition, the European patented technology — pneumatic recovery from France has been introduced into the Chinese market. The starting device makes the chair seat cushion in the process of opening and recovery not to produce any disturbing sound. It is light, elegant, safe, firm and hidden, which does not affect the beauty of the seat shape.
Outer plate: it can be made of wood, plastic or other materials according to the design needs. Its main function is to decorate and connect with the recovery mechanism.
Theater seating backpack
It is generally composed of fabric, sponge cushion, inner panel and outer panel.
Inner panel: according to different designs, it can use the curved wood splint and metal frame structure. When the metal frame structure is used, it is called steel frame. Sometimes the steel frame is directly buried in sponge.
Outer plate: it has the same function as the outer seat pan. It can also be made of wood, plastic or other materials. Its main function is to decorate and connect with the handrail.
Optional accessories for theater seating
Theater seating tablet
The tablet is designed as an accessory to a chair used for meetings or lectures, which is convenient for taking notes and placing documents and books during meetings or lectures. Generally, there are two types: open and hidden.
Theater seating cup holder
Cup holders are divided into handrail cup holders and external cup holders
Armrest cup holder is mainly used in cinemas and places where it is often necessary to use. Most of the armrest cup holders are designed into an integrated structure with the armrest.
The external cup holder is mostly used in meetings, classes and other places, which can only be used when necessary. There are two kinds of external cup holders: front cup holder and rear cup holder.
II.How to design theater seating
Audience sight lines, seat accessibility and sound field acoustics, all these aspects make the theater seating arrangement have precise technical and artistic requirements. Each design has complete details and clear number of seats. The seating areas on the floor with each row are roughly divided into three categories as follows:
1. End Stage
In the class of End Stage, the whole audience faces the stage in the same direction. The sight lines are simple, which makes the design well suited for presentations, films and slide shows. This type is also suitable for traditional rectangular theaters.
However, End Stages are less successful in creating an intimate relationship between performer and attention. Therefore, this format is not suitable for large theaters due to acoustical limitations.
Broad fan
This form of theater is arranged in a 130-degree range, which brings the audience closer to the performers, creating a more intimate experience.
This angle also means that the format is suitable for speech-related performances. It is more difficult to show movies in such a space, as the hardwood needs to be particularly well placed – perhaps the audience at the back will find their sight distorted.
3. Three quarters theater
Three quarters of the theater is formed with an arrangement of 180 to 270 degrees. For the audience and performers, the acoustic and visual connections have been enhanced. When the audience looks up and sees other audiences, it will feel that the sense of tolerance of space will be further enhanced.
However, this is almost impossible for traditional cinemas unless additional screen arrangements are provided, such as small screens facing all angles in the space.
4. Other types
The first three are the most common ways of seat layout design, and there are other theater seat layouts.
Royal Albert Hal: the seats are surrounded by a circle, which is common for large theaters;
Vineyard style: this style of seating is located inside small partitions on different floors;
Hamburg Elbphilharmonie: the seats are arranged at the back of the stage;
Bijlmer Park Theatre: it adopts the mixed method of End Stage and three-quarters theater, and the seats can be flexibly switched between the two;
The Wave: the seats are arranged like waves.
III.Research and analysis of sound absorption performance of theater seating
As the sound absorption of the audience accounts for a large proportion of the total sound absorption of whole auditorium (usually accounts for about 1/2 to 2/3 ), the seat absorption performance is a decisive factor affecting the reverberation time indicator in the auditorium.
In addition to the requirements of coordination with the interior decoration effects, audience comfort and fire protection, the design and selection of theater seating also need to meet the acoustic requirements.
According to the architectural acoustics design and measurement experience of several theaters and considering the importance of seats in the auditorium, the acoustics profession puts forward the following requirements for seats in the auditorium:
In order to reduce the variation of reverberation time in the auditorium under different occupancy conditions, it is required that when the seats are empty and there are spectators, the variation of sound absorption volume shall be as small as possible.
The seat adopts wood backrest and hardwood armrest. On the upper part and two sides of chair back, it shall leave a section of decorative wooden frame edge. On the premise of meeting the needs for comfort, the cushion in the seat back shall be thinner and smaller as possible to reduce sound absorption.
The bottom surface of the seat shall be treated with sound absorption, and the perforated plate shall be selected, which is perforated as required by the sound absorption.
When the seat cushion is turned over, it shall be equipped with a damping device. The rotation noise shall be lower than the hearing area of the human ear, and the maximum impact noise shall not exceed 15dB(A).
When the air supply under the seat is adopted, the current equalizer shall be set inside the replacement air supply duct to achieve the effect of stable and uniform air supply, so as to avoid the feeling of blowing at the ankles of the human body. From the center of the air supply column 400mm, the wind speed at a height of 200mm shall not greater than 0.2m/s, the A weighted sound power level of a single air outlet shall not exceed 15dB (A). Typical styles of seats meeting the acoustic requirements are as follows:
Relatively speaking, the simple and lightweight seat style is more popular.
There are certain differences in the sound absorption performance of seats in different theaters, which will be reduced after sitting.

Demolition (Dungeon album)
Demolition (Girlschool album)
Demolition is the tearing-down of buildings and other structures. Demolition contrasts with deconstruction, which involves taking a building apart while carefully preserving valuable elements for re-use.
For small buildings, such as houses, that are only two or three stories high, demolition is a rather simple process. The building is pulled down either manually or mechanically using large hydraulic equipment: elevated work platforms, cranes, excavators or bulldozers. Larger buildings may require the use of a wrecking ball, a heavy weight on a cable that is swung by a crane into the side of the buildings. Wrecking balls are especially effective against masonry, but are less easily controlled and often less efficient than other methods. Newer methods may use rotational hydraulic shears and silenced rock-breakers attached to excavators to cut or break through wood, steel, and concrete. The use of shears is especially common when flame cutting would be dangerous.
The tallest planned demolition of a building was the 47-story Singer Building in New York City, which was built in 1908 and torn down in 1967–1968 to be replaced by One Liberty Plaza.

Demolition was the first album by Australian heavy metal band Dungeon. It featured mainly demo-quality tracks, four of which had been remixed from a previous demo with added bass lines from Justin Sayers and a cover of Blondie's "Call Me". Virgil Donati plays drums on the instrumental track "Changing Moods". This album was only released in Japan and has never been made available anywhere else. "Paradise", "I Am Death" and "Time to Die" would be re-recorded to appear on Resurrection in 1999; a remix of "Call Me" would appear on the limited-release Rising Power in 2003 and "Don't Leave Me" was re-recorded as a bonus track for the band's last album The Final Chapter in 2006.

Piracetam (brand name: Nootropil®, Myocalm®), a leading Nootropic, is a cerebral function regulating drug which is claimed to be able to enhance cognition and memory, slow down brain aging, increase blood flow and oxygen to the brain, aid stroke recovery, and improve Alzheimer's, Down's Syndrome, dementia and dyslexia, among others.[1] Piracetam's chemical name is 2-oxo-pyrrolidone, or 2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine acetamide. Piracetam is a cyclic derivative of GABA. It is one of the racetams. Though largely ignored in the United States, piracetam is commonly prescribed in Europe for a variety of conditions.
2 Mechanisms of action
4 Approval and usage
5 Dosage
6 Contraindications
7 Special warnings and precautions for use
8 Undesirable effects
Effects[edit | edit source]
Several meta-reviews of literature on piracetam indicate that piracetam increases performance on a variety of cognitive tasks among dyslexic children, though this may reflect its enhancement of cross-hemispheric communication and of cognitive function in general, rather than a specific improvement in whatever causes dyslexia. Piracetam also seems to inhibit brain damage caused by a variety of factors including hypoxia and excessive alcohol consumption.[2][3]
Piracetam has been studied in an extensive number of clinical experiments, and has shown positive results in the treatment of post-stroke aphasia, epilepsy, cognitive decline following heart and brain surgery, dementia,[4] and myoclonus,[5][6]and some believe that understanding the mechanism through which it works can teach us about the role of inter-hemispheric communication in the brain.[How to reference and link to summary or text]
Mechanisms of action[edit | edit source]
The mechanism of action of piracetam is not known.[7] It has been found to increase blood flow and oxygen consumption in parts of the brain.[8]
Piracetam may facilitate movement of information between the brain's two hemispheres via the corpus callosum, and improves the function of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine via muscarinic cholinergic (ACh) receptors which are implicated in memory processes.[9] Furthermore, Piracetam may have an effect on NMDA glutamate receptors which are involved with learning and memory processes. Piracetam is thought to increase cell membrane permeability.[10][11]Finally, Piracetam may exert its global effect on brain neurotransmission via modulation of ion channels (i.e., Ca2+, K+).[12] It has been found to increase oxygen consumption in the brain.
Piracetam was first synthesized in 1964 by scientists at the Belgian pharmaceutical company UCB led by Dr Corneliu E. Giurgea. The drug was the first of the so-called nootropics ("smart drugs" or "cognitive enhancers"), that is, substances which purportedly enhance mental performance. The term nootropic was coined by Giurgea. Nootropil was launched clinically by UCB in the early 1970s and remains an important product of that company in Europe.
Approval and usage[edit | edit source]
Piracetam is primarily used in Europe. Piracetam is legal to import into the United Kingdom and the United States for personal use with or without prescription as with other prescription-only drugs. As of June of 2006, piracetam is not regulated in the United States (it is neither a controlled substance nor a prescription drug but instead sold as a dietary supplement). It has become popular as a cognitive enhancement drug among students, who often buy it in bulk as a powder and then consume it with orange juice to mask the strong, bitter taste. 2 weeks of piracetam enhanced verbal memory in healthy college students in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.[13] It is used by parents as a treatment for childhood autism, though no study has yet produced results which would support such a use.
Piracetam is useful as a long term treatment for clotting, coagulation, and vasospastic disorders such as Raynaud's phenomenon[14] and deep vein thrombosis[15][16] It is an extremely safe anti-thrombotic agent which operates through the novel mechanism of inhibiting platelet aggregation and enhancing blood cell deformability.[17] Because traditional anti-thrombotic drugs operate through the separate mechanism of inhibiting clotting factors, co-adminsitration of piracetam has been shown to highly complement the efficacy and safety of traditional Warfarin/Heparin anti-coagulation therapy.[18] The most effective treatment range for this use is a daily dose of 4.8 to 9.6 grams divided into three daily doses at 8 hours apart.[19] Piracetam is currently being investigated as a complement or alternative to Warfarin as a safe and effective long term treatment for recurring deep vein thrombosis.[20]
Dosage[edit | edit source]
Piracetam is usually supplied in 800 mg tablets or capsules. Some bulk or nutritional suppliers supply it in a powder form. The recommended dosage varies based on the indication, usually ranging from 1.6-9.6 grams daily (2-12 pills daily). Some people report faster results when taking 1-2 pills every hour for 4-6 hours or taking 4-8 pills at once for the first few days to notice an effect.
For blood coagulation, clotting, and vasospastic disorders such as Raynaud's phenomenon or deep vein thrombosis, the most effective treatment range is a daily dose of 4.8 to 9.6 grams divided into three daily doses at 8 hours apart.[21][22][23]
It has been studied up to 45 grams daily without major side effects.[How to reference and link to summary or text]
It has no known LD-50 in humans when taken orally.[24]
Contraindications[edit | edit source]
Piracetam is contra-indicated in patients with severe renal impairment (renal creatinine clearance of less than 20 ml per minute), hepatic impairment and to those under 16 years of age. It is also contraindicated in patients with cerebral haemorrhage and in those with hypersensitivity to piracetam, other pyrrolidone derivatives or any of the excipients .
Special warnings and precautions for use[edit | edit source]
Due to the effect of piracetam on platelet aggregation, caution is recommended in patients with underlying disorders of haemostasis, major surgery or severe haemorrhage.
Abrupt discontinuation of treatment should be avoided as this may induce myoclonic or generalised seizures in some myoclonic patients.
As piracetam is almost exclusively excreted by the kidneys caution should be exercised in treating patients with known renal impairment. In renally impaired and elderly patients, an increase in terminal half-life is directly related to renal function as measured by creatinine clearance. Dosage adjustment is therefore required in those with mild to moderate renal impairment and elderly patients with diminished renal function.
Undesirable effects[edit | edit source]
Piracetam has been found to have very few side effects, and those it has are typically "few, mild, and transient."[25]
A large-scale, 12-week trial of high-dose piracetam found no adverse effects occurred in the group taking piracetam as compared to the placebo group.[26]
Many other studies have likewise found piracetam to be well-tolerated.[27][28]
Headache from use of piracetam may be aleviated by coadministration of an acetylcholine biosynthetic precursor, such as choline bitarate, choline citrate, or lecithin.[How to reference and link to summary or text]
Many users report decreased levels of tolerance for alcohol.

Taoiseach unveils bust of John Hume in the European Parliament today
Taoiseach Micheál Martin to unveil a bust of Nobel laureate John Hume at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
Martin is in the French city for a series of engagements in the Council of Europe, on the occasion of the Irish presidency of the body.
On Tuesday evening, together with European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, he will unveil a bust of the longtime SDLP leader and key architect of the Good Friday Agreement, Mr Hume, which was donated to Parliament by the Irish government.
It marks the contribution made by the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize during his 25 years as an MEP, and the inspiration he drew for his work from the European project.
The bust was created by artist Liz O'Kane.
The presentation will be preceded by a talk on Mr Hume to be given by Tory Peer Lord Patten of Barnes.
dr. Sean Farren, President of the John and Pat Hume Foundation said: "The unveiling of the beautiful bust of John Hume at the European Parliament in Strasbourg is a very important moment for the Hume family.
"It's also hugely symbolic, as the European Union inspired John Hume's journey of peace, reconciliation and diversity.
"The importance of the EU was clear from his very first visit to Strasbourg in 1979, as a Member of the European Parliament.
"John Hume believed that respect for differences was the first principle of the European Union.
"His strong words are as strong today as the people of Ukraine who suffer from the violence of others.
Today, despite adversity, we must continue to choose the path of peace and step back from the shadows of war.
"We must seek justice and stand up to intolerance and tyranny.
"We must deliver on the promise of conflict resolution and move away from the terrible spiral of violence."
The Taoiseach continues his visit on Wednesday and will address the European Parliament plenary, reflecting on the 50 years since Ireland decided to join the European Union.
He also hopes to meet the president of the Ukrainian parliament, who will also visit the European Parliament.
Martin said: "I am really looking forward to my visit to Strasbourg, the seat of a number of key European institutions.
"Ireland currently holds the presidency of the Council of Europe, a body that does essential work in support of democracy, the rule of law and human rights on our continent.
"I look forward to discussing her work, especially in the context of the war in Ukraine.
"In the European Parliament I will unveil a bust to mark the career of John Hume, a giant of Irish politics, who drew so much inspiration from the European project in his work for peace in Ireland.
"I am also honored to address the Parliament's plenary on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Irish people's decision to join the then European Community.
"That decision was hugely transformative for the country and I will express my view that those who want to join the EU now, including Ukraine, should be able to take advantage of the same opportunities."

Kratom is being ingested by the people for some purposes now, and know-how among more of the people is increasing about the Kratom plant. Leaf of the Kratom which has compounds called alkaloids is being used by the people from Southeast Asia from hundreds of years as the tree of Mitragyna Speciosa is grown in these areas. Apart from the leaf of the kratom, its stem and veins are also being used now as the discoveries related to them have been made according to which they even have more effecting alkaloids present in them.
Kratom which has many advantages and is used for the removal of pain and anxiety from the body and provides the users higher energy level but on the other hand, care must be taken while using different strains of Kratom as the overdose of Kratom may create problems for the individuals who start using it at a high dose. In such case, many people have experienced vomiting, sedation, dizziness, and problems in breathing.
What Is The Maximum Effect Which Can Be Caused By Kratom?
Kratom overdose can produce several severe and even dangerous effects on the human body. The side effects depend on the dose and can resemble the effects of other stimulant substances and opiates.
Here are some kratom overdose effects.
Almost all kratom users experience pupil constriction. Pupil constriction is attributed to the opioidergic effect of kratom. When the pupil constricts, it limits the among of light entering the eye. Consequently, many kratom users have experienced poor vision at night. Pupillary constriction is not a big problem for many kratom users. Some opt to avoid kratom in the evening to prevent diminished night vision.
Similar to other drugs that affect the opioidergic system, kratom causes constipation. The drug is thought to curtail propulsive peristalsis at the same time elevate non-propulsive contractions in the small intestines. These activities prolong the movement of food along the digestive tract causing constipation.
While taking kratom, many consumers experience minimized bowel movements and diminished urge to empty bowels. In the case of severe constipation, indigestion and stomach pains can also occur. The occurrence of constipation varies depending on the person. Some people experience diminished constipation with continued regular consumption of kratom. For others, constipation remains a persistent side effect of using kratom.
Just like the conventional opioids, kratom too causes itching as a side effect of high dose. Often the itchiness that occurs immediately after consuming kratom is mild and may not warrant the stop of consuming kratom. One theory attributes the itchiness to the fact that the body is slightly allergic to kratom.
Mild itchiness is often not a concern to may. However, the occurrence of swelling, rash, edema or reddening alongside itchiness, indicates the possibility that the concerned user is allergic to kratom. Such a person should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Nausea is a common side effect associated with the high dose of kratom. Those new to kratom or consuming large doses of kratom have higher chances of experiencing nausea to the extent of vomiting. To avoid nausea due to kratom, users should restrain themselves to low doses of kratom of consuming varieties with mild opioidergic effects.
Not all kratom users experience sweating. Some people have experienced a significant increase in sweat production as an effect of kratom use. Some people have reported sweating in the night such that they soak the bed sheets with sweat. Excessive sweating is quite uncomfortable in the social and work environment.
Kratom overdose can cause sedation. The degree of sedation varies depending on the kratom dosage and the variety of kratom consumed. It is important to emphasize that each variety of kratom has different side effects from the others. Some kratom strains can energize the consumer while others cause sedation. To avoid sedation, the consumer should strictly adhere to the appropriate dose and avoid overdosing on kratom. The best way is to wait for 45 minutes and evaluate the level of the effects before consuming more kratom.
According to DEA reports young kratom consumers around southern Thailand mix the kratom from plants with caffeinated drinks or codeine-based cough syrup. The mixture produces a drunken feeling that resembles that of alcohol. Consuming kratom alongside other psychoactive substances can cause grave consequences. There are chances that kratom may have adverse interactions with other compounds. Some publications report the occurrence of seizures associated with kratom abuse when consumed together with other drugs.
Other reports show that the interaction of kratom with other opioids can worsen depression. The report cites prescribed hydrocodone medicine or morphine among the culprits that increase depression when used with kratom. When using two or more psychoactive substances at a go, each may aggravate the potential threats, as well as the side effects associated with each drug. Mixing psychoactive compounds elevates the chances of addiction or possible drug overdose which is fatally risk.
A high dose Kratom is known to cause fatigue among its users. Some may experience diminished cognitive energy that causes psychological fatigue. Others may experience physical fatigue throughout the body. Another group of users may experience a combination of both mental and physical exhaustion. The chances are that fatigue in new kratom users may gradually go away with continued use of kratom. For long-time kratom users, fatigue indicates a high dose of kratom.
Psychosis in kratom users is quite rare. Nevertheless, it has been observed in a small number of kratom users. In psychosis, the affected person loses connection with reality. Often kratom can cause psychosis that is usually accompanied by delusions and hallucinations. DEA reports show that affected kratom users also experience confusion and at times exhibit aggressive tendencies and hostility.
Those who consume kratom mixed with other substances especially illicit drugs. Those suffering from neuropsychiatric disorders and mix kratom with other medications. Some speculate that mixing several strains of kratom can cause psychosis.
Seizures are rare, but a small number of kratom users have experienced it. Some have had sudden conclusions due to a high dose of kratom. Those with a family history of seizures, epilepsy or related neurological conditions stand a higher risk of experiencing seizures from consuming kratom.
Tremor is a rare side adverse effect of consuming kratom in high doses. Tremor can be caused by consuming potent strains of kratom or by ingesting large doses of kratom. Tremor can also occur from mixing kratom with other substances.
Consuming kratom can lead to impaired hand and eye coordination. It also hampers the excellent motor skills. Kratom can diminish the regulatory activity of the CNS and cause sedation and dizziness. All these effects can lead to coordination deficit. If you experience coordination impairments, you should stay away from operating machines when you are under kratom. Failure to do so would be putting your life at risk.
Kratom can cause some serious problems like nausea, stomach issues, and vomiting but these problems are not so severe that they can lead to the death of the person. Till now, no such cases have been seen which show that overdosing of kratom can cause death. The only effects you may have to face, are those which are mentioned above or maximum effect would be that you would fall asleep. This will be an indication for you that you need to stop the dose of kratom for some time and take rest from it. In other words, these side effects are a clear signal for you that it is an overdose now. Hence, kratom can be used easily without having much fear about the side effects which can be dangerous for the life of the person.

BART Board approves license plate readers for parking areas
Richmond BART parking garage
BART stations including Richmond and El Cerrito del Norte Station will soon be equipped with Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) systems aimed at cracking down on crimes such as auto thefts and burglaries.
On Thursday, the BART Board of Directors approved moving forward with pursuing a contract to install the surveillance technology to crack down various crimes, including auto burglaries and thefts that cost riders about $7 million over the last two years, according to transit agency data.
Both the Richmond and El Cerrito del Norte stations were considered among 16 "priority" BART sites for the technology given current data on auto thefts and burglaries, the transit agency said.
ALPR systems feature cameras that can capture vehicle license plate images and a portion of the vehicle, with the aim of identifying crime suspects and ultimately preventing crimes from being committed on people or vehicles in BART owned and operated parking facilities.
The use of such technologies increased stolen vehicle recovery by 50-percent across the U.S., according to a 2012 RAND Corporation study.
The technology has been the subject of controversy over whether collected information would end up in the hands of immigration authorities. But BART staff told the Board the contract for the system will include language prohibiting data from being shared with ICE or used for any immigration enforcement. The data will be shared with law enforcement agencies possessing a "need and legal right to know," agency officials said.
According to BART, the system is needed to boost security. In 2017 and 2018, an average of 1,054 auto burglaries, 387 auto thefts and 125.5 catalytic converter thefts were reported in BART parking facilities, the transit agency reported.
"ALPR technology increases law enforcement's ability to recover lost/stolen property and provide evidentiary support for criminal prosecution," according to BART.
Aside from the Richmond and El Cerrito Del Norte stations, others deemed as "priority" for receiving the technology are Fruitvale, Coliseum, San Leandro, Bay Fair, Hayward, South Hayward, Dublin/Pleasanton, North Berkeley, Rockridge, Concord, North Concord, Pittsburg Pay Point, West Oakland, Daly City, and Antioch.
