Every day it not only asserts and confirms our basic rights. but also sets the contours and controls of our government. Today the founding document of our republic celebrates its 230th birthday.
In recent years, the Constitution’s currency has been evidenced in its cameo role in the play Hamilton, its 2016 Pocket version ranking on “best sellers” lists for weeks, and its 2017 review by Wisconsin lawmakers deliberating a call for a national Constitutional Convention. Recently the parchment/paper version has been energized and transformed by the National Constitution Center to an interactive website version.
Quarrels abound about interpreting this quill-penned document, but its genius remains unchallenged. What is most remarkable about the U.S. Constitution’s staying power? Is it that the U.S. Constitution even got drafted and adopted by the original states? Is it the underlying tenets and principles that remain largely unchanged – though widely interpreted? Is it due to being one of the oldest surviving constitutions, used as a model by scores of other countries? Or is it that the text continues to play an integral role in the everyday lives of Americans – including right here in the Milwaukee Courts?
Drafting a new Constitution and forming a new government were not the original purposes of the “Constitutional Convention” when it met in May 1787. The delegates met to “fix” the Articles of Confederation – the governing principles of the 13 original states that were put in place at the end of the Revolutionary War. In fact, not every state sent delegates. Rhode Island boycotted the whole convention, determining that it was not in its interest, and it initially refused to ratify the Constitution.
The delegates debated throughout the summer, and were heated beyond the seasonal temperature. They struggled with the balance of power among large states and small states and a centralized federation, with proportionate representation of citizens and of states, with limitation of government generally and of centralized government specifically, with judicial appointing authority, with a controlled amendment process, and with many aspects of slavery – regulation, limitation, citizenship, and the method of “counting” slaves who then constituted about 20 percent of the combined population of the states. Through compromise and courage, the 55 delegates divined and adopted the document – but not unanimously. Three delegates refused to sign. When the necessary number of states ratified it, the U.S. Constitutional government could begin in 1789.
The new federal government in short order introduced twelve amendments to the Constitution, and passed ten of them in September 1789. These ten amendments, dubbed “The Bill of Rights,” assured greater protection of individual liberties by detailing prohibitions on governmental power. The first ten amendments were ratified by the necessary number of states by 1791.
Seven Amendments either directly or indirectly relate to voting (Amendments 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24 & 26).
Five Amendments directly relate to the fair trial process. (Amendments 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8).
Ironically the last amendment, ratified in 1992, was introduce in 1789, along with the Bill of Rights. While it took over 202 years for the 27th Amendment to become law, now the Constitution actually provides that Congressional salary changes cannot take effect until after a subsequent election of representatives.
The Constitution as Part of Every Day Lives in Milwaukee.
The Constitution is more than a mechanism to outline the framework of government. It is a means of protecting individual rights. Invoking it keeps the document’s promises fit and muscular, and keeps its application personal. We can see its application locally in the Milwaukee County Courthouse.
The operations of the courthouse advance and accommodate important Constitutional protections. To hear just a criminal case requires the cooperation and coordination of the offices of the Clerk of Courts, the Sheriff, the District Court Administrator, the Chief Judge, Jury Management, facilities, the defense bar and State Public Defender, the District Attorney, the Department of Health Services, and a whole host of support staff. Lots of moving parts also exist for civil, family, probate, and juvenile law cases. The each relevant clause of the Constitution is a throttle that controls court operations.
In 2016, over 112,000 cases were filed in the Milwaukee County Clerk of Courts Office. These thousands of civil and criminal cases are publicly filed, heard by the forty-seven circuit court judges – and a host of court commissioners – and accorded Constitutional due process, as included in the 5th and 14th Amendments and case law. Excepting certain cases afforded privacy protections, all cases are electronically visible on the state court’s website, commonly referred to as CCAP.
Honoring the public trial provisions of the 6th and 7th Amendments, proceedings do not occur or continue when the building’s doors are locked at 5:00 p.m. or on weekends. In 2016, thousands of court hearings and proceedings were held. Jury trials were held in 580 cases – 498 in the Criminal Division, 54 in the Civil Division, and 28 in the Juvenile Division. Of these 580 jury trials, 439 were resolved by jury verdict. Milwaukee County’s longest impaneled jury in 2016 spent twelve days hearing a civil trial.
The jury trial statistics do not include the number of court trials or bench trials held by judges. Nor do they include the thousands of plea hearings or bail hearings held in Milwaukee County’s criminal courts. During these hearings the court confirms and determines that the rights of criminal defendants are upheld under the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th Amendments and Article III, Sec Two – rights to a fair and speedy public trial by jury, to be notified of accusations, to confront the accuser, to obtain witnesses, and the rights remain silent and prohibit self-incrimination.
Milwaukee County and Wisconsin generally have longstanding, demonstrated commitments to the 6th Amendment Right to Counsel. The 1848 Wisconsin Constitution restated the federal amendment, and the 1859 Wisconsin Supreme Court established that the payment of costs of counsel for criminally charged indigents be borne by the government. In 1957 the Milwaukee Bar Association launched “The Voluntary Defenders Program” – the first of its kind in the nation. This project became a model for public defender programs all over the nation when the U.S. Supreme Court decided the right to counsel, at government expense, in criminal matters of all sorts in the 1963 Gideon v. Wainright case. In fiscal 2016, the Wisconsin State Public Defender appointed counsel throughout the state in 135,543 trial court cases and in 3,315 appellate level cases.
The U.S. Constitution was signed 230 years ago not by despots or kings but by “we the people” proclaiming it so. The Constitutional Convention delegates met to fix an awkward confederation. They left with a document for states to ratify a workable, restrained government that would be improved over time by ordinary citizens. Today, as in 1787, it is incumbent on all citizens to continue the Constitution’s purposes: to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.

“I Am an American Day” (originally celebrated the third Thursday of every May) was established via Joint Resolution authorizing the President of the United States of America to proclaim I Am An American Day, for the recognition, observance, and commemoration of American citizenship, Chapter 183, 54 Stat. 178, May 3, 1940. In 1952 “Citizenship Day” replaced “I Am an American Day” with the goal to “recognize all who, by coming of age or by naturalization, have become citizens.” The 1952 legislation urged “civil and educational authorities of States, counties, cities, and towns… to make plans for the proper observance of Citizenship Day and for the complete instruction of citizens in their responsibilities and opportunities as citizens of the United States and locally,” Joint Resolution designating September 17 of each year as “Citizenship Day,” Chapter 49, 66 Stat. 9, February 29, 1952.

It’s the first day of fall and I that means I can start making some of those wonderful fall flavored dishes. And what better way to start my fall cooking out right that to make a batch of Mamaw’s homemade cinnamon applesauce? It’s great fresh if you need a large amount, like for a family get together, or you can can the applesauce and have it all winter. If you happen to have an apple tree, or a great place to pick up fresh apples this fall, you can make your own apple pulp, but don’t worry if you don’t. You can cheat the system and go to the grocery store and pick up some unsweetened applesauce – just make sure it’s unsweetened. We’ll be sweetening it up ourselves.
Mix all ingredients into a heavy saucepan.
Seal with water bath, 10 minutes.
The recipe makes 6-8 pints of finished applesauce.

With this understanding, I was able to make decisions about how to market myself and how I wanted to reallocate my time. In other words, the metrics I started aiming for were connected to my historic ones, rather than pie-in-the-sky numbers.

Time Trials is a chance to find out what a swim meet is like, without another team present. This is also the time where we check in and see what the swimmers can do so far. We use this event to establish a baseline for improvement, practice scheduling (coach's discretion), and relay assignments. It is IMPORTANT that swimmers attend this event.
If you WILL BE ATTENDING this event, you don't have to do anything. Your swimmer(s) will automatically be entered.
CHECK-IN: Check in is mandatory to help run the meet efficiently. Swimmers must check in at 6:45AM. If you are running late, you must check in via text by 6:45AM and physically be present by 7:15AM (Please note that this is not preferred). **If you arrive after this deadline, your swimmer(s) WILL BE removed from the meet. Please respect the work that must be done and meet these timelines.

Lets start with the stats.The minimum cost of a 1 month fashion internship is £1,019. Over 75% of fashion students and graduates partake in internships of some kind. Some statistics suggest that a third of all graduate interns are unpaid, while others suggest that just 17% of graduates are paid for their work experience.
As this is such a vast and very contentious issue, I have reached out to my network to express their views, because in reality, there is no right or wrong; what's important is that we keep the conversation going, because I think we as an industry can all agree that there are problems with the status quo.
But I thought I would start by stating my own position on the topic, as a fashion student who has interned in many different guises over the years.
In my opinion, there should be no problem with work experience with a company on a short-term basis; I'm talking either an intense period of 1-2 weeks or a longer period of part-time or freelance work. If expenses are paid (traveling within London, decent lunch and refreshments throughout the day), hard-working interns can still make a lasting impression and gain some valuable contacts while learning key skills if the employer is enthusiastic enough about teaching and training. Most of us can find some sofas to crash on for a week if we don't live in London, and get enough paid holiday leave from work or save our student loan or borrow some cash from family or friends (or, god forbid, an overdraft/credit card) to fund living expenses for that short period of time.
Long term internships, on the other hand, have an overwhelming number of problems and implications. Firstly or course there is the financial side; in my experience I've had to continue working alongside any interning I've done; whether that be doing 5 days in the office unpaid, two 12 hour shifts in a shop on minimum wage, or working 9-6 for a brand and then staying up until 3am working from home on my laptop to make a freelance income. This is because living in London, traveling to and fro, fueling my insatiable appetite for food and coffee, while still paying rent and bills for my home back up North, is simply impossible to do on £5 a day in travel expenses alone.
Some companies actually require wannabe fashion interns to pay to take part in these work experience programmes. For example, when researching NYFW earlier this year, I found the website www.fashionweekinternships.com where people are encouraged to splash out up to £650 per week to secure a 'a guaranteed internship within a dynamic fashion industry business' in one of the major fashion capitals.
At a recent talk at a London art college from student-led fashion magazine 1 Granary, it was said that “we think interns should be paying to do an internship” because they are getting something out of it whereas employers are going out of their way to help them. In short, it seems that much of the industry believes interns should be grateful for the chance to work for free in a fashion environment, and the request for payment is unfounded.
The motivation for 'complaining' about the practice of long-term unpaid internships is not, as it may seem, an outcry about my own financial situation and cynicism for the state of my future career. My concern is that if unpaid internships continue to be legal, and widely accepted, in this country, the fashion industry will continue being run by upper class people from Southern England, and we will never truly make systematic change. There is so little diversity in class (and therefore race, religion, age etc) in the major companies throughout London because the only people that can afford to intern for 6-12 months full time, therefore almost guaranteed to get at least a junior job position in the near future, are those with rich parents. Therefore, the message that the fashion media drills into us continues to be the same; white, skinny, young, privileged women are representatives of fashion as a whole.
Another issue I have is with the London centric nature of the fashion industry. In general, people from London (and their parents) make a higher than average salary, and have higher than average access to industry opportunities due to their geography. Most internships on the mainstream fashion market are based in central London and require interns to live centrally too, meaning if you're studying in the Scottish Borders, you have half the chance of 'making it', as brands offer very little in terms of flexibility of time and location.
Next up, there is the big elephant in the room: mental health. Every tip on every website and magazine for interns to 'succeed' is to work hard, harder, hardest. Go above and beyond your calling. Know what your boss wants before she even asks for it. Work double shifts, triple shifts, give up your social life completely. Who needs sleep? The competitive atmosphere in these types of roles is rampant, with every intern knowing that the possibility of a paid fashion job is slim; name-dropping, asking questions and offering help at every intake of breath, shooting a nasty side eye after receiving that much sought-after second of praise. This combined with the often harsh punishment for making simple mistakes (I once had a serious sit-down shouting-at for mis-spelling a tweet, and was ignored all day after asking for an afternoon off), and the endless onslaught of somewhat demeaning jobs- washing dishes, making coffees, collecting dry cleaning etc, offers up a very unappealing plate of anxiety and self doubt indeed.
While, as an adamant advocate of ethical fashion, I believe that all hard work should be fairly reimbursed and all workers within the supply chain should be fairly treated, on the other hand, so long as there you are not being unwillingly misled, it is your personal, active, aware choice to take up an unpaid internship. I have a problem with public whistle-blowing (hence why no companies are named in this article) because I get the feeling many interns play along while on the job, only calling out 'miscarriages of justice' much later which leaves brands in an uncomfortable position of explaining that this was all 100% voluntary on the intern's part. There have been multiple cases in recent years of people accepting an unpaid internship and then suing after its completion for unpaid wages and overtime compensation, for example the scandalised lawsuits at Condé Nast, The Row, and Alexander McQueen.
I attended a panel event last night where representatives of Hearst and Who What Wear answered my questions about the ethics of unpaid internships in fashion. The overall view was that long term placements with no expenses paid should no longer be the industry norm, and when considering whether it should be the responsibility of the employer, employee or potentially the government and larger industry bodies, it was suggested that there needs to be a more cohesive, united movement from the fashion world as a whole so that we can ensure true diversity. One panelist advised that if you are second-guessing taking an unpaid internship, ask yourself, are there 5 valuable things I will gain from this experience? If not, either don't take it, or demand more. I like this approach.
"After my second year at uni in the summer I went down to London to work for [a designer]. I worked for 3 months down there. My uni course really encouraged us to go down to London...I worked almost full time whilst being full time at uni and saved up money throughout the year but I did get help from my parents to be able to afford to go down to London and work for free for 3 months. I’d heard horror stories about internships, but I worked really hard and felt really appreciated. I made a really big mistake once and they didn’t get angry or have a go at me, they were all very aware that we were there for free. When I went back to uni after the summer I did feel more confident as I learned new skills and had an idea of what the industry was really like."
"Whilst on a uni project down in London I had a trial day for a designer... he was horrible. Didn’t even look at me when I was waiting in the reception. The room where the interns worked was ridiculously small. Didn’t get shown around or told what to do or anything explained to us at all. We ate lunch on the floor in the hallway. The intern manager wasn’t very helpful, she was just as rude. At one point the designer came in and asked why we were doing nothing. We said we haven’t been asked to do anything or even shown where any rooms or anything is. We hadn’t even been shown where anyone else worked! That was horrible. At the end of the day I didn’t even say goodbye, I just left. That was not good."
"I wish you didn’t have to intern, but in the creative industry the value of the craft is very undervalued and creatives feel uncomfortable charging for their time and skills. As a skillset it can be difficult to pin point the point where you are qualified almost. What makes that person qualified to start charging for their time. And I think that’s the big issue. "
"My experience wasn’t a formal internship however it was very much accepted that to get into that industry you had to work for zero money. I found it to be quite shocking and exploitative. A girl I knew that had been working for [two designers] had been working for zero money for a long time whilst her wealthy parents paid her rent. I was paying £850 for a studio flat a month so I had to ditch any plans of textile design and get a temp job in an office. I’m still glad I went to live in London and try it out though. If I hadn’t done it, I would have felt haunted by the ‘what ifs’"
"Basically i think that people outside of London forget that anyone else exists / doesn't understand why they don't live here. I never did an internship in London because I couldn't afford to be there. It seems crazy that in order to get a job you need to pay so much to get any kind of experience and makes it near impossible for us. I think maybe unpaid internships are only ok if you are getting something else of value from it, otherwise it’s exploitation of free labour really. People feel that exploitation is just a “natural” part of the system but fashion is a system just like any other industry."
"I wholeheartedly disagree with unpaid internships! We campaign for workers rights internationally but why would anyone think it's ok to ask to people to work for free?!? Even if its training they are still giving their valuable skills and time and energy to your business so they deserve to be paid for their time. Simple!"
"I've done 3 internships and it cost me all of my savings to live unpaid in London for short time blocks. £3000 at least. The experience was incredible, however that's all I have from it. I have not gained any further opportunities from these internships in terms of my career. Still stuck in retail."
"I did an internship with a fashion studio years ago; it was originally meant to be unpaid and I ended up negotiating for wages. That was about 15 years ago though so might not be relevant to internships now. I did find out that of the 3 interns, 2 were paid and 1 wasn’t."
"I did an unpaid internship once and I bailed after she had me filling up hot water bottles for her PMS. I kind of just never did it again. And I don’t know if unpaid internships are as much the problem anymore: what’s the problem is that the internship never REALLY ends. I’ve been paying out my own pocket for projects and building my career from day 1 because sometimes my skills in return can’t cut it. When I did an internship, I was fully aware of the fact it would be that way. What I didn’t realise is people still think they’re doing you a favour working for them."
"I did my first unpaid internship in London 5 years ago, in the fashion department at an editorial, 3 months full time. They had 3 unpaid interns full time ongoing. I did learn a lot and enjoyed the time there, although my manager was not flexible with lunch breaks, doctor appointments etc. My 2nd internship was part time at a fashion designer's studio, as production intern. I didn't enjoy that much of my time there as it was not very organised and we were lot of interns, around 6-7. We didn't have room to do our work and not enough chairs to eat at."
"I think big companies like the large fashion houses/creative corporations are creating a loop of privilege for new designers. Only those who have a financial support network can afford to get large scale industry experience. It makes me upset and angry. In my opinion it’s Social Cleansing Lite in the arts."
"I’m all for free work if it’s a barter deal. That’s pretty much how I survive! I also don’t have an issue with new designers who are not bankrolled to get assistants to work for free if they are local, students who have a loan and will be getting credits for the job, and lunch etc is provided."
Now we've heard a few opinions first-hand experiences, what's next? If you're a brand looking to hire an intern, or a student/graduate looking to get an internship, how do you approach this delicate subject?
Firstly, you should know that paid internships do exist. Look for these on websites like Fashion Workie and Find Your Intern, or even better, contact the brands you love directly and let them know what you have to offer.
Secondly, you need to know that there are organisations out there fighting for fair payment and treatment of interns. Check out Adopt an Intern, which is a UK company offering small and medium sized business to hire exceptional candidates for paid internships that lead to genuine career progress, and Intern Aware, a national campaign for fair internships and a more diverse working world.
Finally, look to other industries as key examples for how a system of paid internships, apprenticeships, placements and fellowships. Think about friends you may have that have gone through these processes in medicine, law, finance, and trades such as electricians, plumbers and mechanics. It is possible to work while you learn and make a decent living doing it; in most cases this doesn't affect the employer negatively in any way financially, in fact it only gives them better credentials on the national stage, and allows them to scout for the freshest new talent.
1. The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment. 2. The experience is for the benefit of the intern. 3. The intern does not displace regular employees but works under close supervision of existing staff. 4. The employer providing the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded. 5. There is no guarantee of a job at the conclusion of the internship. 6. Both parties understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the internship.
This is also a really helpful article on The Fashion Law for further reading on the legal side: Do You Have Unpaid Interns? If So, Read This!
In short- there should never really be an exception to the law of the National Minimum Wage unless they provide measurable benefit to the intern, and not the employer. But for me, the first priority has to be transparency; from the word go, the employer must be extremely clear as to what they are offering to, and what they are expecting of the intern. Misunderstandings and miscommunication in the past have led to a lot of grief during my internships that could have easily been avoided, and I truly believe that if rules are set in place and followed through by the industry as a united group, everyone could be entitled to a more positive, and fair internship experience.
So, what do you think? Are internships in the fashion industry simply a rite of passage or a form of exploitation with long-term implications? Let me know in the comments!

Furthermore, say our Sages, (Sotah 35a.) the spies went so far as to say that even G-d would not be able to wrest the land from its inhabitants. Their words caused great consternation among the Jews, who feared that they would be unable to enter Eretz Yisrael.
How was it possible for the spies to mislead the Jewish people and convince them that even G-d could not help them, when the Jews themselves had constantly witnessed the miracles performed on their behalf, e.g., G-d provided their daily food and drink in a miraculous manner — manna from heaven and water from Miriam’s well.
Like the logic applied in our initial conundrum, the spies argued that after God created the laws of nature, He ruled that even He Himself would not be able to change those laws. God bound His own hands, as it were, by means of the laws that He Himself instituted. Until now, God’s leadership in the wilderness had been one of supernatural miracles that defied the laws of nature again and again. It was clear though that entering thelandofIsrael, for all its holiness, meant entering the confines of nature and living by its laws. This was why the ten spies thought that the Jewish people could not overcome the giants who lived in the land. They believed that God had indeed created a rock that could not be lifted. Moses himself used this argument in his prayer asking for God’s forgiveness, saying that destroying the Jewish people, God forbid, for their sin, would be proof for the surrounding nations of the erroneous claim that “God lacked the ability to bring this nation to the land which He swore to them…” (Numbers 16:14-15).
Joshua and Caleb, the remaining two spies, also saw that conquering the land was a supernatural task, but they said, “Yes, God can create such a rock that He cannot lift, but He can still decide to pick it up if He wants to.” They realized that on entering theHoly Land, God could paradoxically empower the Jewish people themselves with supernatural powers and this would become their very nature.
I hadn’t heard this particular perspective on the “sin of the ten spies” before and that they believed that there was “a rock that God Himself couldn’t lift,” so to speak. I did however, realize that anyone who is “sent out” for a particular purpose is called “shlach,” including us.
I know it doesn’t sound like these two things are connected, but I can explain.
That command was originally given by the Master to the “eleven disciples (who) went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.” (v16) However, it has been inherited by every disciple who is called by his name, Jew and Gentile alike, and we have carried that mission upon us for nearly 2,000 years.
Actually, not that bad. But we could be better, especially in the present age. It’s not so much that the Good News of Jesus Christ isn’t being spread to the four corners of the earth and that the vast, vast majority of the human race hasn’t heard of God, the Bible, and Jesus. They certainly have heard the Good News, however many of those people; perhaps most of those people, don’t see it as “good news” at all. Many people experience Christianity as “bad news.” They see us as superstitious, as old fashioned, as out of touch, as bigots, sexist, racist, anti-gay, anti-political correctness, anti-progressive.
Some of that is true, whether we intend it to be or not. Where have we gone wrong?
In the days of Moses, the ten spies gave an “evil report,” not because they were dumb or evil or cowards, but because they believed that the supernatural power of God would not go with them when they entered the land of Canaan. They believed that without the power of God, in terms of mere human strength, they would have no chance at defeating the mighty giants of the land. They felt abandoned and afraid.
Now I realize what he was trying to say. He was trying to say that his disciples would not be alone in the enormous mission of taking the word of the Jewish Messiah to the nations of the world. Remember, nothing like that had even been dreamed of before let alone attempted. In a world full of false gods and polytheistic idol worshipers, how would the Word of the One God of Israel and the Messiah King of the Jews be received by the Gentiles? Would they listen to the Gospel message at all, or listen and then merely incorporate God into their panthenon of other gods, worshiping the God of Heaven as if he were just another idol of stone, wood, or bronze?
The Bible didn’t record the reaction of Christ’s “great commission” but it would be another fifteen years or so before any one of them would attempt to respond. Even then, Peter needed the prompting of not only a vision on a rooftop (Acts 10:9-16), but that of a messengers sent by the God-fearing Roman Cornelius with an unusual request. (Acts 10:17-23). The rest of this chapter in Acts tells the tale of God showing just how possible it was to carry the message of the Messiah to the Gentiles and how indeed, many Gentiles were eager to hear it.
That age hasn’t expired yet and neither has our calling. Not all of us enter what the church calls “the mission field” in a formal sense, but in truth, we are all “missionaries” or “sent ones.” We are shlach in the way we live our lives. Every word we speak and every action we take tells the tale of our Lord and Master, for good or for ill. Every deed of honor and praise glorifies the Name of God, and every mistake and mean-spirited act we commit drags that Name through the mud.
Joshua and Caleb understood that God would enable the Israelites to take the land, not by a series of supernatural miracles, but by making the people of Israel the miracle. We see in the book of Joshua and beyond how true this was. They didn’t have to believe in the miracles. They just needed faith in God. That first generation out of Egypt couldn’t overcome their “slave mentality” and when faced with such challenges, they balked. They didn’t have faith in themselves, let alone a God they felt would cease to provide protection from Heaven (I know, I’m applying midrash here, but I think it fits).
As believers and disciples of the Jewish Messiah, our teacher, our Master, and our King, what have we learned, not only from his lessons but from the lesson of the Shlach among the Israelites? Jesus already said that he would continue to be with us for the amount of time it takes to fulfill the directive to spread the Word of hope. He asks us to have faith. Faith in our Master, faith in the One Holy God of Israel…and faith in ourselves.
We see from the Biblical record that the taking of Canaan and the forging of Israel was no easy task, even though God was with the Children of Jacob. We see from the record of Paul’s letters that even though he was personally comissioned by the Messiah to be the “shlach to the Gentiles,” his task was at times brutally difficult. Our tasks are not easy, either. Living a life of faith and swimming against the tide or a world determined to deny God never is. We are reviled, called foul names, laughed at, ridiculed, and that’s only in the western nations. In other parts of the world, Christians are raped, beaten, tortured, and murdered for the sake of Jesus Christ. Under such terrific pressure, our sin is never in doing our best and failing, but only in failing to try.
A life of faith and miracles isn’t begun by waiting for God to make the first move. He’s waiting for us. So is everyone else. You can be the answer to someone’s prayer. All you have to do is try.

The DFS Wedge Anchor has a carbon steel anchor body and clip which ensures proper anchoring in all masonry materials.
A Safety factor of 4:1, or 25% of ultimate, should be used. Critical applications (vibratory loads, overhead installations, etc) may require a saftey factor of as much as 10:1, or more.
DFS WEDGE ANCHORS can be used in deep electrical boxes where a solid hammer blow to the head of a pin-drive anchor is not possible.
DFS WEDGE ANCHORS can be used near the edge of poured concrete floors and steps with a reduced risk of craking or "blowing out" the concrete.
Drill hole deeper than embedment using an ANSI approved drill bit. Same diameter as the anchor diameter. Tap anchor into hole with nut and washer attached. Tighten nut 3-5 turns until anchor wedges securely.

Earth and Planetary Sciences is a multidisciplinary field that includes the solid Earth and its hydrosphere and extends to the neighbouring terrestrial planets. Principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics are applied to elucidate the complex and diverse planetary processes at play as we seek to understand how planets like the Earth changed over time and continue to evolve.
Career opportunities are many and diverse in the Earth and Planetary Sciences. Graduates of the Major and Honours in Geology are often recruited by resource (fossil fuel and mineral) exploration companies, as well as the mining and environmental sectors. Industry or government agencies may hire undergraduate students during the summer months, providing them with both financial benefits and first-hand geoscientific experience. Career opportunities in planetary science can also be found in universities and research organizations.
The Department has a full-time staff of 16 professors and one faculty lecturer. There are approximately 50 graduate and 50 undergraduate students registered in the various programs offered. Classes are therefore small at all levels, resulting in an informal and friendly atmosphere throughout the Department in which most of the faculty and students interact on a first-name basis. Emphasis is placed equally on quality teaching and research, providing undergraduate students with a rich and exciting environment in which to explore and learn.
The undergraduate curriculum is designed to provide both a strong foundation in the physical sciences and the flexibility to create an individualized program in preparation for careers in industry, teaching, or research. In addition to the Major and Honours undergraduate programs, the Department is one of the three departments that actively contribute to the Earth System Science Interdepartmental program, and also offers a Joint Major in Physics and Geophysics, which combines a rigorous mathematics and physics curriculum with exposure to the geosciences.
The Minor in Geology offers students from other departments the opportunity to discover the earth sciences in the classroom and in the field, while the Minor in Geochemistry is designed for Chemistry Major students who want to apply chemical principles to the study of planetary processes.
For more information, see Minor Geochemistry (18 credits).
For more information, see Liberal Program - Core Science Component Earth and Planetary Sciences (45 credits).
For more information, see Major Geology (66 credits).
For more information, see Honours Geology (75 credits).
For more information, see Honours Planetary Sciences (78 credits).
This program is offered by the Departments of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences; Earth and Planetary Sciences; and Geography. Students in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences who are interested in this program should contact Professor William Minarik (william.minarik [at] mcgill.ca).

At Beatwave we design strategies, communications and develop award-winning creative solutions to give our clients clear advantages over others. We take a holistic approach to all marketing activities from initial research through the creation and production of content. We established Beatwave in 2008 after a long career managing and working in large multi-national and national advertising agencies. Through this experience we realised there is a better way to provide marketing, research and design services to our clients. The traditional ‘bricks & mortar’ agencies and design studios have permanent staff and therefore are limited in what skills they can offer and are also encumbered with fixed overheads they need to re-coup from their clients. Beatwave does not have staff or large offices. For each of our clients projects we gather a group of professionals with the relevant skills for that project. This structure allows us to provide the best marketing & design solutions economically, without having to re-coup large fixed overheads.
Lyn Punshon is a Creative Director/Designer with over 40 years experience. Initially with Hertz Walpole in Melbourne and then Clemenger BBDO in Melbourne and Adelaide. In 1991 he joined Andrew Killey and Peter Withy as a partner in KWP! Advertising. In 2004 he created his own business, P.Create, and undertook a term as a Creative Director at Martins Integrated before establishing Beatwave in August 2008. Along the way Lyn has won numerous creative awards and has been President of the Adelaide Advertising & Design Club three times.
We develop plans, briefs, content, articles, blogs, metrics and really, anything it takes to generate results from marketing. Our approach to developing marketing strategies is to focus on the message, the audience and the objectives before briefing creative or selecting channels.
We specialise in inventive research methods. In gathering insights for our clients, we interview, survey, film, play, chat, post, feed and observe. Our approach to developing research methods is to focus on the objective (i.e. how you’ll make the results worthwhile) before thinking about methodology and process.
We create engaging designs and content in all media. Our websites, branding, commercials, infographics, packaging and ads are always focused on achieving our clients’ marketing objectives within their resourcing capabilities.
We work with a wide range of clients across all their communications and marketing needs.
Below are some examples of the results of these collaborations.
Our client has recently been to 'sharing economy' conferences in Europe. That has created interest and enquiry from from France, UK and Spain in using the 'Share N Save' platform in their regions.
Each year at the Variety International Conference, Tents from around the globe are invited to nominate various individuals and corporate supporters for a range of awards. One of these awards relates to media organisations who promote awareness of Variety, the children's charity brand and mission. This year we were delighted to be advised by the Board of Variety, the children's charity - Tent 75 nominated Beatwave for a 2015 'Variety International Media Award' and this was ratified by Variety International.

Four months ago I started working as a graduate at one of the most important technology companies of the market and I am so glad of being part of the team of Dell EMC Spain.
Due to some work experience and some studies, I realized how important the technology is and how it is changing our ways of life, and I started to have interest about the movement of data that is generated nowadays and how it is managed, so for that, Dell EMC was the perfect company to develop my career in this industry. Dell EMC is not just a company that helps its customers to manage their information and helps them to transform their business, it also helps their employees to grow, personally and professionally.
Every week in Dell EMC is more interesting and we have tons of events, in each one, we learn something new. My first event at the company was a meeting about the importance of cyber safety and how we must manage our social networks, especially in a professional way, to become more attractive to users.
A few weeks later, we had another event organized by Dell for Entrepreneurs about virtual reality. We had testimonies of three different companies that were devoting themselves to help users (companies, hospitals, employees, patients…) with the most advanced technology.
For example, one of them was helping people to overcome their fears through virtual reality glasses. It was not as good for me, because testing the glasses made me discover I’m afraid of heights!
But the event of the year was yet to come: Dell EMC Forum Spain held on December 12th. A technology journey developed for professionals of the IT sector to discover new strategies, acquire innovative perspectives and explore new solutions that the company offers. There were around 1.500 participants!!
It was a great opportunity for me (mostly because I had only been working for the company for a month at that time) to meet some clients, partners and especially, colleagues at Dell EMC.
And also to know the new technologies of the market, the most amazing products of the company and how is Dell EMC introducing and modernizing the technology in this digital age.
It was a very interesting and entertaining day since where we didn’t stop learning, and connecting with a lot of people.
We also had another gathering about the tendencies of employment nowadays and the new options and opportunities we have inside and outside the company and how we can collaborate to improve them. We have English lessons every week for free, we also had a session about financial planning and a contest about some associated products to Dell EMC.
Undoubtedly, we do not get bored at the company, we have a lot of interesting activities that are managed by the different organizations (Employee Resources Groups) such as Conexus, Genext, Planet, Pride, True Ability or Woman in Action dedicated to support different groups with events and activities.
To sum it up, Dell EMC is a great company to develop yourself both personally and professionally. Thanks to the events that the company holds you have the opportunity to grow up both, individually and also as a team.

Tema, June 17, GNA - The visiting French Minister of State for Co-operation and Francophone Development, Mr Xavier Darcos on Thursday pledged France's support in the development of infrastructure in Ghana. He stressed the need for both countries to deepen the bonds of friendship and further strengthen relations between them.
Mr Darcos made the pledge when he inspected the ongoing French-sponsored 64 metre-long Tema Manhean-Ashiaman road overpass project, on the Accra-Tema Motroway.
The inspection was part of his two-day visit to Ghana. The 20 million-Euro project funded with a French Development Agency Loan is being undertaken by Messrs Sonitra to ease vehicular traffic between Tema and Ashiaman.
In addition, 1.3 kilometres of the Tema Manhean-Ashiaman road would be rehabilitated.
Mr Darcos said the visit had enabled him to realise the assistance required for co-operation and development in Ghana.
Dr Richard Winfred Anane, Minister of Roads and Transport, said the Sector had realised a lot of support from France.
"The project would further deepen the level of co-operation and relations between both nations since Ghana is surrounded by Francophone countries", he said.

If you’ve just named your baby girl Sophia, you’re definitely not alone.
“It just blew me away that so many different languages and cultures would arrive at the same sound at the same time,” Wattenberg told Live Science.
"The name is instantly recognizable as a classic, yet it was uncommon in every spelling from the 1930s through the 1980s. That means today's parents didn't grow up surrounded by Sophias, so it doesn't sound tired or over-familiar to them,” she says.

This painting depicts a portion of the Tingari cycle, a very important collection of Dreaming narratives from the Western Desert region. The country that this painting depicts is located far to the west of Yuendumu, and spans a vast area of land across the Gibson and Great Sandy Deserts in Western Australia. Aboriginal groups that paint the Tingari cycle include the Pintupi, Kukatja, Ngar, and Walmajarri peoples, among others.
The Tingari cycle consists of three major Dreaming tracks. One begins west of Jupiter Well and eventually runs due east, concluding south-east of Lake Mackay; another heads south-west from near Kintore for some 200 km, and then doubles back to end at Lake Macdonald; the third runs from south to north through Docker River and Kintore.
The cycle tells the story of a group of ancient creaon ancestors, the Tingari, who travelled across the country. The Tingari took diﬀerent forms, some human and some animal. Humans were typically iniated men accompanied by ‘punyunyu’ (novices, uniniated men). The men were sometimes accompanied by extremely powerful iniated women (called variously the ‘Kungka Tjuta,’ ‘Minyma Tjuta,’ or ‘Kanaputa’). Like the iniated men, these iniated women were accompanied by uniniated women to whom they provided a ritual education. Animals featured in the Tingari cycle include the dingo, emu, kingﬁsher, and western quoll, among others.
As the Tingari travelled over vast areas of the country, they held initiations and other ceremonies, caused or encountered raging bushﬁres, hunted game, found and cooked bush-tucker, fought and killed one another, disposed of the dead or brought them back to life, interacted with totemic ancestors, copulated illicitly, made and used sacred objects, ﬂew through the air, and died in hailstorms. In the course of these adventures, they either created or became the physical features of the sites they visited, forming rocky outcrops, waterholes, trees, salt lakes, ochre deposits, and so on. These sites which are now regarded as sacred by their descendants, today’s custodians of these places. The Tingari also laid down social custom and law as it should be practised today. Their journeys form the basis of sacred and secret men’s and women’s laws. Public paintings of the Tingari cycle typically only show the unrestricted portions of these stories.
Tradional iconography is used to represent the Dreamings, associated sites, and other elements of the Tingari cycle. In many paintings of these narratives, concentric circles represent soakages, rockholes, ancient wells, and other water features. Lines indicate rainfall and grasses that provide edible seeds after the rain, or routes taken by the Tingari as they travelled. People are represented by semicircles. Sets of circles can represent the body-designs of the older men who are painting the bodies of the younger men, often represented as smaller circles.

The recent cold snap with temperatures 15-20 degrees below normal likely hasn’t hurt South Dakota’s fledgling winter wheat crop.
Experts say snow cover will help protect the crop as it provides insulation from the cold air and moisture for next spring. Another positive is that the wheat was planted earlier than normal in September and emerged ahead of its typical pace, with a stronger stand by the time killing temperatures stopped the growing season.

The Surrey Tops is a Long Distance Walkers Association 50 mile event organised by the Surrey Group. I have done a few LDWA events and they are well run and cheap to enter, especially if you become a member (£6 for a 30 mile event, £21 for the 50 mile Surrey Tops). The Surrey Tops has 6750ft of ascent/descent and is mainly run on footpaths and bridleways starting and finishing at Witley, south of Godalming. It is a “challenge” event, which means you have to find your own way round the course based on a written route description and features a significant amount of night navigation.
Surrey Tops is run only once every three years and that was partly why I entered. Without really meaning to, I found I had done some training for this event by running the Midnight marathon (hilly, at night) in August, the Farnham Pilgrim (hilly and on some of the same route) and the SJ 30th Anniversary run (our section was quite hilly) in September, so I thought I was in reasonable shape for this event. I had practiced with all the kit I needed to take and I was familiar with the style of route instructions. I had done a few of the LDWA 30 miles events, so this was just going to be 20 miles further. Sounds fairly simple, but there were things that went wrong that could easily have ended this run with a DNF.
I downloaded the route description, laminated it, cut out each paragraph and made a little flip-book of the route. I found this easier to stay on the right bit of the route description, than having loose pages. There were going to be well stocked check points at 8 to 12 mile intervals, so I needed to carry water and some food, as well as jacket, waterproof trousers, head torch, spare batteries, spare hand torch, fully charged mobile, a compass and a mug. I also took walking poles in case I needed to take the load off tired legs or help get an injured me to the next check point. All of this was packed into my running pack.
Start times from the village hall in Witley were 10am for walkers and 1pm for runners, with about 130 walkers and 15 runners. I started at 1pm and straight away was in last place as everyone else hared off into the distance. This was a bit of a problem, as it is nice to have someone else to follow to check your route against or catch up with you if you go wrong. After about half a mile, a chap called Anthony from Norfolk decide he couldn’t keep up with the others and dropped back to me and we ran together for a while, enjoying the autumn sunshine and the climb up to Gibbet Hill (5 miles).
Here, I realised I hadn’t been eating or drinking, as I had been concentrating on reading the route description so much. I stopped for a break at the top of the hill and lost sight of the others. On to the Devils Punchbowl and on the descent to the north I caught up with Anthony and another man, who had already got lost twice. On to Kettlebury Hill (8 miles) and another break for me and again the others went on ahead like this was some kind of race! A couple of miles later on Elstead Common I got a bit lost at a little triangle of paths, not understanding the directions and spent about 15 minutes and half a mile figuring it out. On then to the first check point at Elstead Common (12.1 miles and 2:50).
From here it was an easy path into Elstead, now following paths I knew from the Punchbowl marathon earlier in the year, but I was soon in trouble again and lost on Puttenham Common. I think I had the route right, but couldn’t find the path from the route description, so I ended up wasting time trying to figure it out. I knew I had to find the North Downs Way and go through Puttenham Village, so the last resort was to check my map, and just head due East to get to Puttenham (phone and compass to the rescue!) I was soon back on track and now following the NDW and the route of the Farnham Pilgrim in reverse.
Easy? Nearly, but not quite. I got to the next check point at the Shippe Inn, Guildford (21 miles) at 6pm, an hour before the cut off, in time to eat a reasonable amount and top up my water bladder with squash, but I still wasn’t eating and drinking enough as I had been concentrating so much on reading the route. Being last at the checkpoint, I was all that was stopping the marshals from packing up so they were really pleased to see me. I was also followed out of the checkpoint by two more marshals who were going to sweep round the last 29 miles.
Leaving Guildford, the next challenge was St Martha’s Hill. In the woods it was starting to get dark. I was feeling pretty mentally low, tired, cold and aching and I called home debating whether I would quit. I think my wife was engrossed in a movie and a comfy sofa, so I could tell she didn’t really want to come and get me from a remote car park on St Martha’s Hill. I decided to at least get to checkpoint 3 at 31.5 miles. I got my head torch out and a bag of fruit jellies and set off again. The extra energy really lifted my spirits and I got over St Martha’s Hill (23 miles) feeling better.
St Martha’s Hill after a big mental wobble.
Approaching Newlands Corner (25 miles) I caught up with the last of the walkers, but started to get cramp in my calf. More drinking required, but also more salt. Sadly I didn’t have any salt tablets with me, and I suffered more cramps and self-doubt over the next few miles. I caught up to another walker and we got lost and re-found the route together before I pushed on. By 29 miles my cramp had eased off and I reached checkpoint 3 at Abinger Common to find 15 other people in the village Hall and a plate of beef stew and potatoes! That was quickly followed by apple pie and custard, so I was feeling much better and decided not to quit – after all there were just 18.5 miles to go.
It had been dark for a while, so there wasn’t much to see, but on the way to Holmbury Hill (34 miles) an owl flew out in front of me, beautifully quiet. In the woods I could see nothing but the trees close to me, bats flying into the beam of my torch and occasional stars through the canopy. I caught up with more walkers on Holmbury Hill, even though I was just walking myself, but didn’t stay long to enjoy the view. The woodland trails were quite eerie and quiet, with just the hoots and screeches of owls and the sound of my own footsteps. I stopped and turned off my torch to find it utterly black and silent.
The trek to checkpoint 4 was a long 11 miles, but I arrived 2 hours ahead of the cutoff. It was at a business park and outside, but there was tea, hot soup and some nice salty things to eat. From here there was just 7.5 miles to go, but the list of remaining instructions was huge, so it was going to be complicated. 10 minutes after I got to the checkpoint Anthony (remember him? I must have passed him in the night somewhere) arrived and we decided to tackle the last miles together.
Over two more hills (Hascombe Hill – 45 miles and Hydon’s Ball 47.5 miles) and a relatively gentle last couple of miles back to Chichester Hall in Witley, the last challenge being to take my shoes off before going inside. The hall was filled with runners and walkers recovering and having a cooked breakfast.
I finished in 15:37 in 73rd place out of 158 starters. I did 51.8 miles. Of my 13:37 time 2 hours 39 minutes was spent standing reading the route or at checkpoints. The first person home finished in 10:24; the last in 21:20 (21 hours, 20 minutes! How’s that for persistence?) The prize for all this was a printed certificate, a badge (cost £2) and a pair of very achy legs. Oh, and a nice sense of achievement for having done another challenging event.

David's Tea has come out with a bunch of new, summery teas. I bought The Boardwalk Collection last week. The Boardwalk Collection is described on the website as reminiscent of, "rollercoasters. beaches. cotton candy..." Oh my!
My order came today and I can't wait to try out each flavor.
Cotton Candy, Caramel Corn, Grape Freeze, Chocolate Covered Banana, and Coco Colada.
I am definitely most excited about the first three but all of them sound good. I haven't decided if I will try them warm or cold yet. I think some would be better cold for sure -- grape freeze! But warm caramel corn sounds good too! The collection also came with some old fashioned rock candy. My girls will surely appreciate those! Also, I got a few samples as when you order online from David's Tea they always send three free samples... not a bad deal in my opinion.
In case you were wondering, I am not sponsored by David's Tea, it is just really great tea in my opinion and I'm a tea enthusiast. And for the record, I do like other tea brands like Teavana and Tazo, but David's Tea just happens to be my favorite so I talk about it far more than the others. I also drink a ton of Diet Peak tea that I buy from my local grocery store.
So if you come looking for me, I'm likely hunkered down somewhere with a book and a cup of tea.

This excellent Clikstix multi Ivy cutter set from Windsor Sugarcraft consists of a strip of cutters containing 9 Ivy Leaf shapes in four different sizes. They are useful for all sorts of cake decorations and wonderful on Cupcakes! You can also wire them into sugar foliage displays.
Full Instructions for use are included in the pack.
Also available in other great shapes.
Simply roll out your paste, cut out using the Clikstix multi Ivy cutter. Take care to hold only the edges while cutting. 'Scrub' the cutter against the board a little to ensure the shapes are not stuck to the board. To emboss the shapes press down the ejector (not too hard!) and this will emboss the veins. Lift the cutter with the shapes still in (if one or two fall out - no problem ...it saves the ejection!) and then press down on the ejector to let the cut shapes drop out. Quick and simple but it does take a bit of practice to get your paste thickness right.

So, how do you handle a fight when you’re at school? How do you keep your relationship from exploding out into other parts of your life?
What happens when you and your girlfriend have a fight during school hours? For those of you who have ever found yourself in this situation, you already know how embarrassing this can be. It’s difficult to resolve as well. So what should you do? What should you look out for.
First, try to explain gently to your date that you’d rather talk about this later in private. Don’t be alarmed if this only outrages the other person and they begin screaming or insulting you. They may think that this means you want to keep things quiet because you want to break up with them or because you want to save face. Try to let them know that it’s only because this is a personal matter and should be discussed in private.
Next, let them know how you feel in a few words to help tide them over until you can talk and perhaps calm them down. If you still love her, tell her. Saying, “I still love you, I’m just a little upset about some things” can help reassure her that everything will be okay and you can talk about it later. If you’re late for class saying something like, “I can’t talk now because I’m late for class, but I want to talk after school and understand how you’re feeling” lets her know that you do want to understand. Show that you’re willing to listen, but that it can’t be now in the schoolyard.
Then walk away. She won’t continue to scream at you if you aren’t around to listen. She either wants you to hear what she’s saying, embarrass you, or fix the situation immediately. Regardless of her plans, if you aren’t there, she can’t do anything about it.
This is actually quite hard. You see, we have the need to act out in front of others to get their validation. Some people take their arguments in public because they are not confident enough in their own position and they feel they need outside validation to win. This is passive aggressive and you do not need it.
After school, make sure that you follow through. Send her a text or give her a call and ask to meet her somewhere. Then talk about your problems together and reach a conclusion. As long as you listen to what she’s saying, she will listen to you and you’ll both be able to reach a decision about the future of your relationship and resolve the argument at hand.

Who's your favori from these?
This 19th September,Lois&Clark-TNAOS fans will make a special celebration in the twiitter with the participation of the fans around the world and the actors as well.Teri's twitter and also Dean's twitter will be celebrating with the posibility of a reunion with the actors and producers.
Everyone that still l’amour the montrer are very excited about it and really believing that is totally posible that this will happen for real.
Re-watching Lois and Clark has had these ideas bouncing around in my head for a while. The evolution of Lois Lane, the many different types of Superman characters over the years, and the changing of the ethos of Superman. I keep coming back to one point, Kidder's Lois and Reeve's Clark along with Hatcher's Lois and Cain's Clark. Equally loved and cherished par many, and I will not be bashing anyone in particular but may draw some comparisons.
What is Lana's hair color?
Lois&Clark have the end that the montrer deserve it?

When the rest of the country thinks, "Silicon Valley," they're likely thinking of Palo Alto. Palo Alto counts some of the biggest names in tech as residents, including Hewlett-Packard and Tesla Motors. Many concentrated in the Stanford Research Park on Page Mill Road.
Both highways 101 and 280 run through Palo Alto as you head south from San Francisco, down the peninsula, and into Silicon Valley. Palo Alto shares a northwestern border with East Palo Alto and Menlo Park, while Stanford (home to Stanford University) makes up its western border. Mountain View and Los Altos are neighbors to the southeast, as you head further into Silicon Valley. Palo Alto is served by Caltrain at University Avenue and California Avenue.

The CE marking of containment systems based on the overcoming of real-scale impact tests (European standard EN 1317) is a necessary but not sufficient condition to guarantee the contribution of these to the improvement of road safety on our roads . For this, it is imperative that the crash tests are carried out under certain control conditions that include: adequate technical description of the tested system including its installation, control of the test grounds, traceability of tested materials, verification of the conformity of the tested materials, consistency of the type of vehicle used, report of detachment of parts, description of the behavior of the anchors “a priori”, …. Only under these “controlled” conditions can a system certification be obtained that guarantees that the products supplied and the application conditions on the real roads are in accordance with the products and conditions validated in the impact tests.
The non-observance of these control conditions allows serious dysfunctions of the market of containment systems, so that having tested “pears” they are installing “apples”.
The shock test to be carried out is a TB51 test according to EN 1317-2 standard consisting of the launching of a 13 ton bus, at 70 km / h and 20º against a 60 m section of high containment metal barrier , in which before, during and after all the conditions are observed to guarantee the real conformity of their behavior.
GomaVial recovers rubber tires out of use, without crushing, through proprietary technology that allows obtaining bands, called H-Rubber, of 1.80 mx 0.2 mx 0.006 m, corresponding to the surface layer of the tire, supplied joined forming coils or panels according to the needs of the HormiGoma product.
In this way, rubber H-Rubber is, in turn, a high-tech composite that combines partially vulcanized natural and synthetic rubber, polyamide fibers and a hundred additives that the tire industry adds to improve its properties.
The existence of polyamide fibers in the lower part of the H-Rubber band allows its perfect adhesion to concrete, allowing the manufacture of products such as supports for structures and viaducts, expansion joints, impact protectors, screens and coatings, all combining high technology and low cost, suitable for installation on surfaces of any geometry easily and without maintenance costs.
System designed to prevent the serious consequences of the impacts of any type of vehicle against the salvacunetas steps that we find in the access roads. It is the only system that guarantees the safety of occupants of cars and motorcyclists, since it has been tested with excellent results before the respective standards UNE-EN 1317: 2011 and UNE 135900. In addition, it is a very low cost system, suitable to install in ditches of any geometry and very easily installable (does not require on-site work or requires road cutting). It allows an easy cleaning of the step and does not require any maintenance.
National product developed with the experience and technology of the CIDAUT Foundation.
Dynamic system, of last generation and high precision that measures the retroreflection of the vertical signaling while generating a complete inventory of it. It evaluates in a safe, fast and effective way the real behavior in service of the vertical signals contributing to optimize the conservation of the vertical signaling. In addition to the retroreflection of vertical signage and signage for each color, it also measures its position (absolute and relative to the track) and dimensions. The collected data is analyzed and georeferenced so that it can be integrated with GIS systems or any other type of existing inventory.
DRENOTUBE provides high performance on site compared to traditional systems. It includes the three basic components of a longitudinal drainage system; geotextile, aggregate and draining pipe, in a single product. This geocomposite has an artificial aggregate of EPS thanks to which the gravel is dispensed with for the construction of the drains, which means a saving of time, machinery and money. Due to its easy installation, durability and quality of installed drainage, DRENOTUBE improves the traditional drainage system.
Rhinophalt is a bituminous material, applied at room temperature, and with proven use as a surface treatment to lengthen the useful life of a firm or the rejuvenation of a worn firm, contributing to its conservation. It is formed by a binder manufactured from a natural asphalt and solvent to improve penetration on the raceway.
It is a very versatile product, liquid at room temperature, and whose application can be done both on high traffic routes and roads of reduced traffic, on newly built roads, as well as on road surfaces worn where the binder film has lost His properties.
The foundation is to increase the life of the firm in new constructions, and improve the surface of those pavements that have already worn out.

i know about ATAG_Colanders WWII radio mod, but i could not get that working on the current TS version.
it might be worth checking out. you can turn on and off different settings as you please, like the "positional audio".
CrossTalk is a Teamspeak 3 plugin that enhances the general audio experience and provides advanced features for commanders.
Hear players from the direction their avatar is in supported games.
When multiple people are talking at the same time, which tends to happen, they are harder to understand than necessary. First, our brain is a lot better at decyphering those noises into language if they are located at seperate positions. Second, when two or more people are talking, the client mixer will possibly not have the headroom to keep things from distorting/generating artifacts. This module shall help on both of these issues.
In advanced mode, you can reserve specific regions for certain types of incoming audio streams: Have whispers on the right, secondary tabs on the left, current in the middle (if conflicting, they'll also be spread inside their regions).
Reduces the volume of speakers in the channel of a server tab as soon as a whisper comes in or someone talks on another server tab (in common scenarios this is some kind of commander channel).
Set a client as global ducking target. When anyone else talks, this client will be ducked.
Temporarily mute a channel except the clients you whitelisted.
I'm tellin ya we get ten people on TS tryin to talk all at the same time and it gets pretty nerve racking.
That's why most of the time I say very little on TS, Most of what is said has absolutely no relavance to whats going on I.e.
now im happy with WWII radio plugin by Colanders - very simple to setup two noise generators and light freq feedback, with my mic_clicks TS sounds, final set in windows volume mixer to fit with COD, yummi.
