RTITB Forklift Training – Why You Would Choose This? - Be Certified Today!
With regards to forklift training, there are some accrediting organizations that set the standards, one of them is RTITB. There are six organizations that offer training and basically use the same standards. RTITB is better known among them but I am not telling you to forget about the others. This organization is commonly called as certifying body. This is a private company that is acknowledged by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) of the United Kingdom as competent to "look after" and administer forklift training in the country. HSE's responsibility is to advise and audit the standards if it was being implemented. HSE largely pass the obligation to this regulatory body the administration of the training ethics.
In the past two years, RTITB accreditation standards have been delivered to over 270,000 individuals not only in the UK but also to delegates from many other countries. Many have said that RTITB has the best forklift training available out there for novice, refresher, and conversion courses. If you are certified by this body, then you are more likely to be preferred by big companies and businesses as they only favor those who have trained by this organization.
RTITB courses are devised by safety professionals who have obtained a lot of experience in the field and created by qualified designer to make the training appealing, enjoyable and most importantly knowledgeable, ensuring that you are competent when you leave the training room.
If you are an employer, RTITB can provide you the assurance that you can meet the obligation stipulated by the regulations set forth by HSE and other applicable laws in current methodology. The truthful advantages of having RTITB-trained personnel are business operational effectiveness and trimming down of occurrence of accidents and risks thus reducing the property damage and near miss incidences. Not only that, you would not have to send your forklift operators to training course because accidents have been alleviated, as a result, you can save company money and insurance cost.
To become better trained lift truck drivers, you must enhance your skills. There are several levels of courses available depending on your competencies and abilities. Whatever course you will choose, there will be a lot of details and information to be given to make sure you are professionally certified to driver the trucks.
Novice Training is for individuals who is absolute beginner and with no any know-how operating the forklifts. For obvious reason, this is lengthier and more comprehensive which tends to run for up to 5 days to ensure that you have gained much knowledge. The training cost tends to be pricier as well.
Experience Operator Training is intended for learners who have existing knowledge and experience driving the forklifts but without proper and professional training. The duration of the course is much shorter compare to novice. The cost is obviously less expensive that usually ranges from £250 to £3000 depending on the training provider or instructor.
Though you can get this forklift instructor training from other accrediting bodies, and the outcome may be the same as well. RTITB trainer course offers a various advantages. A trainee can reach his utmost potential to become a professional trainer or in-house safety consultant, added to this is you can put up your own training school and deliver qualified courses that meet RTITB standards.
In order to be qualified as an instructor, you will need to be a senior operator or experienced worker who had gained much experience in lift truck driving, an applicant must have a good conversational and communication skill both in written and verbal, a trainee must provide documentary evidence that he has attained a certification of becoming an RTITB trained forklift operator on either counterbalance or reach truck type of equipment, has a valid forklift license that recently been issued, other requirements may be deemed necessary depending on the training provider.
This course is for operators who have been trained and certified before who would like to renew their certification and to become up to date to current HSE legislations. There are instances employers send their personnel for refresher course, such instances are during when operators are involved in accidents, near misses, unruly drivers or have been observed driving the lift trucks in unsafe and dangerous manner. The intention of the employer is to rectify their behavior and employer must provide refresher training whenever required.
Other circumstances that need retraining are: if employer move sites to different location, when operators are assigned to use different truck they're not familiar driving, when employer changes workers' assignments or work responsibilities, and when operator become disabled.
Before you scratch your head for confusion, why would RTITB forklift card has an expiry date on it. Please let me explain a little further. The level of certification you have attained doesn't have an expiry.
You need to keep your skills current and updated, hence the HSE recommends a three year gap between forklift refresher training, this is to ascertain that you have maintained your skills of good driving practices and become customary to present HSE applicable regulations.
If you have completed an RTITB forklift training, your details and information will be put into NORS for the span of three (3) years from the date of your last course completion. NORS is a centralized database where employer can check the details of their operators or would-be personnel.
Whether you are an employee who has a blooming career in this field, you must ensure your competency by taking a course every three years. If you an employer, keeping your workers retrained is making them safe and satisfied to sustain a smooth business operation.
Your RTITB forklift training doesn't end by completing a course. It is very important to keep your skills updated and maintain your driving competency. You must keep on learning the skills required to drive the truck safely. Remember that your employer is investing money not to only to keep your happy but most importantly safe as well.

York art gallery architect showcases "secrets" of award design
The architect responsible for the £8 million refurbishment of York Art Gallery, which won two categories of the York Design Awards in 2016, is hosting two sell-out tours this week.
Andy Davey from Simpson & Brown Architects has been invited by the York Design Awards committee to share his insights into the work that increased the gallery's display space by 60 per cent: achieved by creating a new first-floor gallery in the space above the Main Gallery on the ground floor, together with an entirely new gallery above the existing South Gallery, and by expanding into the rooms next door to the gallery, formerly occupied by the City Archives.
Simpson & Brown won the commission for the refurbishment in 2011 with joint venture partners, Ushida Findlay Architects.
The tours will be attended by the city's property professionals, who are being urged to enter their own inspiring projects, completed in the last three years, into the 2017 York Design Awards.
Mr Davey, pictured, said: "It was an honour to win the Lord Mayor's Award and the public and community categories of the York Design Awards last year and I'm looking forward to coming back to share my inspiration and thinking behind the York Art Gallery redevelopment.
"The original building was completed in 1879, with many additions and demolitions over the years. The concept behind the gallery's restoration has been a simple one: to unlock the secret spaces that previous inappropriate redevelopment had created. This included revealing a chequerboard-tiled floor, two glorious granite columns and an elaborate Victorian ceiling."
The closing date for entries to the York Design Awards 2017 is 31 March; judging takes place on 24 and 25 April with winners announced at an event at York Racecourse on 26 June – including The Press People's Award.
Award categories include conservation/restoration, commercial, open space, public and community, and residential.
Janet Hopton, chair of the York Design Awards, said: "York Design Awards encourage the highest standards of restoration and refurbishment of existing buildings and reward the best design in new buildings and spaces in York.
"York Art Gallery is an excellent example of this and was a worthy winner of two categories. We are delighted that Andy Davey has agreed to give these special tours and share the building's secrets with us."
The York Design Awards are now entering their eleventh year. Developers, architects, building owners and homeowners are encouraged to submit their projects for consideration in one or more of the eight categories.
The awards programme operates with the generous support of a number of sponsors who have a strong association with the city. Hiscox is once again the main sponsor, with additional high profile sponsors including Arup, O'Neill Associates, York Conservation Trust, Shepherd Group, York Civic Trust, City of York Council, York Guild of Building, George F White, Fulprint, Ravage Productions, Virgin Trains East Coast, The Partners Group, United by Design, The Grand Hotel & Spa.

New Rochelle, NY, July 3, 2018–Prior to performing a medical procedure, physicians are increasingly relying on access to 3D printed models created using patient-specific medical data. Unfortunately, current 3D data processing workflows can be extremely time consuming, and frequently, the resulting 3D-printed models fail to accurately depict the anatomical details of interest. Motivated by these inherent limitations, an international team of researchers describes a rapid method for creating extremely detailed physical models directly from volumetric data stacks in an article published in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers . The article is available free on the 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing website through August 3, 2018.
The bitmap-based workflow relies on the use of cross-sectional image stacks – images acquired for diagnostic purposes or in advance of a surgical procedure, for example. These bitmap slices can be processed using standard photo editing workflows and are then fed directly into an ink jet-like 3D printer, resulting in extremely detailed physical models with the ability to incorporate grayscale, transparency, or mechanical property gradients, and thus more closely mimic the patient's specific anatomy.


Left to right standing - Jo Frederick, Joan Ele, Bob Yutzy.
Bob Yutzy encouraging a reluctant Tucker #127.
Tucker who is currently resident in Redding with foster family Marilyn Stephens and doing well. He gets along with Allie, the female Kerry of the household.
Here is a brand new picture of Higgins – now Tucker with Donna DeCuir and one of his housemates, an occicat. Also living with Katie, an Airedale and an Egyptian Mau cat, and a number of Koi!
The Kerry alert posted at 4:45 pm this afternoon has ended in a successful recovery of the missing big blue dog. As it turns out, Tucker was not kidnapped by the Dalmatian Rescue society but rather had concocted his own grand scheme to test the Kerry alert system by feigning his own mysterious disappearance. Seeing the opportunity of an open gate left by his now favorite gardener, the big blue headed for open ground. Unfortunately for him, his choice of captures consisted of a young neighbor and her two year old son. Tucker could not resist the lure of such immanent attention and instead of running, begged for just one last scratch behind the ear. That was all it took. Before he new it, he was being held captive in the dog rescue area of the local homeowner's security compound. Realizing that his plan had failed, he attempted to bribe the guard with promises of enduring love and affection. Again his ten months of life did not prepare him for the real world practice of giving a substantial bonus given to the local security during the holidays in anticipation of just such an occurrence. What a surprise he had to find that the Kerry Blue Rescue Society had foiled his planed escape literally before he had even conceived the idea. A call to the 800 number, one to Janet one to Jan, another to Jo, one to Eileen and even a forwarded response from a clueless attorney lead to the return of the big blue dog. What joy.
The moral of the story: When you are promised the best life has to offer, bite the hand that feeds you, run like hell and pray that there is a Kerry Blue Rescue Society that will forgive you for all your faults. After all, he is a Kerry Blue.
Can you forward this to all those who helped get our little Tucker back. By the way. I took him into the office this morning to show Jo. He was the hit of the office. He is so gentle, he is not afraid of people, he and Katie play for ever, he doesn't bother the cats and to watch him and Katie on a leash together is most precious. I think we got the jewel of the rescue. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow and send them to you. We will be dog proofing the run to eliminate any possible escape routs.
Thought you would like a couple of pictures of Tucker.
We finally had sun tonight. He is doing well.
What a baby. He and Katie are doing well.


Greg Atkinson doesn't remember the first time he actually stepped onto an American football field for his first day with the Clansmen – a moment that occurred over six years ago – but he certainly remembers suiting up for his initial practice. The gear, and the helmet in particular, felt uncomfortable at first, and the older guys on the team had warned him this might be the case.
The helmet, however, was just one issue on a long list of things that Atkinson would have to get used to when it came to the sport of American football. The Edinburgh native needed to learn the plays, the rules, and the formality of operating within what he calls the "professionalised" structure of the Clansman.
He grew up playing "regular" football, but embraced the chance to try a new sport at university, and he leaned on his teammates to help him become a student of the game. Four years after that first day in the locker room when he struggled with his helmet, Atkinson concluded his Clansman playing career having sufficiently mastered the ins and outs of the American sport, all while earning his undergraduate degree in sports science.
Now, as a masters student at the University of Stirling and an alumnus of the undergraduate sports studies program, Atkinson has continued to build on his interest in American football, this time as a coach – and an award-winning coach to boot – of the team. He started coaching with the Clansman during his first year as a postgrad, and he has slowly taken on more responsibility with the team and gained the confidence necessary to lead the special teams. Atkinson's journey, while uniquely his own, fits in with a pattern seen across Stirling of athletes who take to the classroom to gain new skills that they can apply to coaching the next generation of future sports stars.
As a leading institution in sports coaching and sports studies, Stirling trains individuals like Atkinson to excel in coaching roles across sports ranging from American football to rugby to triathlon to everything in between. It is this versatility that makes the program special, according to sports studies lecturer Dr. Andrew Kirkland.
"On our program, we are encouraging coaches to become reflective- analysing and evaluating their own practices, seeing if they are the right practices and using academic literature to inform how they think about these things," Kirkland said.
Kirkland works within the MSc Performance Coaching program, a course designed to help those individuals who are already practicing coaches a chance to learn from experts about how to become a more mindful and critically thinking coach. Kirkland said the program typically graduates about 30 students a year, but students hoping to improve their coaching education aren't limited just to this cohort, or just this masters program. Atkinson, for instance, isn't a member of this particular program, but he's been able to learn from the sport science curriculum as a MPhil student studying sleep loss and apply the theoretical lessons to his practice as a coach on the field and in the weight room.
Students, however, can begin their coaching education as undergrads, like Atkinson did, as part of the sports studies bachelor's degree program, a group that Kirkland also assists with. Kirkland works as a supervisor for undergraduate students, and he serves as part of the larger sports social science research at Stirling, which brings together lecturers across a wide range of fields within sport, including but not limited to gender studies, kinesiology and nutrition. On May 23, Kirkland and his colleagues participated in a research seminar in Pathfoot that showed off some of the work produced by faculty within the sports social science research division; the diverse range of programs and expertise offered with the Stirling sports studies and sports sciences programs helps makes the opportunities for future coaches, or even just those wanted to learn about sport, so beneficial.
Stirling brands itself as the University of Sporting Excellence, and Kirkland's work, and his mentorship of students interested in sports careers, helps maintain Stirling's sporting reputation.
"We're opening coaches' eyes to things they haven't learned about before, [and] I've got quite a lot of autonomy in what I teach. I don't have someone telling me this is how to do it," Kirkland said.
Florie McLeish, an elite triathlete, recent graduate of sports studies at Stirling and current swim coach, credits Kirkland for helping her find an undergraduate dissertation project that inspired her to learn more about coaching and challenged her pre-existing ideas about the nature of coaching philosophy. McLeish served as one of the many undergraduate students that Kirkland advised in 2018, and while McLeish said she never took a formal course with Kirkland, she appreciated his willingness to help her think in new critical ways about an interest they both share: coaching.
"He really did help me find something that he knew I was interested in, and even when he first proposed the idea to me I was like 'I'm not sure that's really what I want to do,' and then when I did it, I was like 'he must have seen something in me that made me want to go down that route and explore it,'" McLeish said.
When she first found out she had earned the job, McLeish said she was shocked, and she still has a hard time believing that's she actually coaching the next generation of swimmers- a full-circle experience for her having been coached as a top-level athlete herself growing up.
"To be able to do it as a career, you never expect to be able to do it until it's actually the day that you get it. Even now I'm still like "am I actually doing that? Is that actually what I managed to do?" McLeish said.
Educated under the faculty at Stirling, McLeish has achieved her goals. Her formal schooling is complete, her dissertation is done, and she's well on her way to becoming a highly regarded coach.
Back at Stirling, however, another coach is still prepping for his chance at the big leagues. He's inspired by academia, driven by his love for the game and powered by a good night's sleep.
Sitting in the sports centre cafe sipping on a cup of coffee, this coach, Atkinson, enthusiastically talked about his current research on sleep deprivation that he's completing as part of his MPhil. He's working on a project about the effect on sleep and resistance training, and though he jokes that finding participants is difficult – "most people when they find out they have to be sleep deprived for like two days, they're like ah, I'm busy," he laughs – Atkinson's work speaks to his larger goals about using academics to ground himself in more effective coaching strategies. He hopes to work for the NFL one day, guiding professional athletes in their own personal development, but for now, he still working towards another Stirling degree, a degree that he believes demonstrates his passion, his knowledge and a representation of his six-year journey developing into an elite coach.
When he earns this next degree, he will join the growing list of Stirling students who leave this campus ready to take on the coaching industry with skills, passion and strength.


Yesterday was one of the most difficult days that I've had mentally in a long time. I woke up and I was just depleted of all of my energy. I felt empty and cracked and hopeless. I was standing in quicksand and sinking quickly.
I am blessed to have people in my life to whom I can turn, and who turn to me, when we are in the weeds, so to speak. I was challenged to sit down and write a clear vision of what I want for my life. So…I sat down and wrote out what I want…in business, where I want to live, what type of relationship I want, how I want my perfect day to look. I needed to do those things to bring hope and vision back into the equation.
Today is a new day. I woke up with a fire in my belly. If God isn't allowing me to go backward, then that means He has something for me looking forward. I don't know the how, but I do have a clear vision of what I want.
You see, I truly believe that God put these desires in my heart. The dream that I have had hasn't changed since I was a kid. I've always wanted to help people…I wanted to be a teacher, a doctor, a pharmacist, a psychologist, a missionary, a pastor. All of those things have one theme…they help to educate and heal people in some way. Those seemingly different vocations are actually all pieces of a puzzle that is starting to come into clarity.
Despite the fact that I spent half of yesterday weeping and scraping myself off the floor, I trusted that God was working. If I trust Him and praise Him on the good days, I have to trust and praise Him on the bad days too.
Today, I choose to relentlessly pursue the desires of my heart. I may have to release things that I love to get that which I most desire…but you know what? I'm okay with that.
Father, today I cease resistance and I submit to Your authority. I may not know the how or when, but You do.

Complainant: NUHAD KHOURY COSMETICS & PERFUMERY, INC.
Respondent: AHMED HINDAWI
Contested Domain Name: tiba.com
Panel Member: David Allsebrook
1. Parties and Contested Domain Name
The complainant, Nuhad Khoury Cosmetics & Perfumery, Inc., is located in Nashville, Tennessee. The complainant's representative is I.C. Waddey of Nashville, Tennessee.
The respondent, Ahmed Hindawi, is located at Cairo, Egypt.
The contested domain name is tiba.com.
Remedy sought: Transfer.
2. Procedural History
The electronic version of the complaint form was filed on-line through eResolution's website on May 2, 2000. The hardcopy of the complaint form was received on May 8, 2000. Payment was received on May 8, 2000.
-confirm the identity of the registrar for the contested domain name;
-verify the registrar's whois database and confirm all the required contact information for respondent;
-verify if the contested domain name resolved to an active web page;
-verify if the complaint was administratively compliant.
The inquiry lead the clerk of eResolution to the following conclusions: the Registrar is Network Solutions, Inc., the Whois database contains all the required contact information including the billing contact and the contested Domain Name resolves to an active Web page and the complaint is administratively compliant.
An email was sent to the Registrar by the eResolution Clerk's Office to confirm the name of the billing contact and to obtain a copy of the Registration Agreement on May 8, 2000. The requested information was received May 15, 2000.
The Clerk's Office then sent a copy of the complaint form and the required cover sheet to the respondent in accordance with paragraph 2(a) of the ICANN's rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy.
On May 28, 2000, the respondent submitted, via the eResolution internet site, his response. The signed version of the response was not received.
3. Factual Background
The complainant has registered the trade-mark "tiba" in the United States for face, body and hair beauty salons and health spas. The registration is for services (in the United States such trade marks are called "service marks"). A related trade mark "tiba vita" is also registered in the United States for diet planning and supervision, fitness consultation, cosmetic and colour analysis, health spa services and fashion consultation services.
"Tiba" is the Arabic name of Thebes. Thebes is the ancient Egyptian capital city. It is now known as Luxor. Luxor is an important city for tourism and artifacts. The domain name tiba.com is not in use in association with the provision of goods and services. It is "parked" at; and is offered for sale through a broker, GreatDomains.com.
The description of tiba.com on the GreatDomains.com website says the following: "The Internet Business Academy, Association, Assembly, Associates, …Tiba is also the Arabic name of Thebes, …" This description appears to people reviewing the details of the domain name, including its asking price, on the GreatDomains.com website. Originally, no asking price was indicated. The complainant made an offer of $300.00 for the domain name through the broker which was declined without comment or counteroffer. After the offer was rejected an asking price of $3,000.00 was posted.
The respondent was born, lives and works in Luxor, Egypt. He obtained the domain name to use to operate a website about the city. It is to be a city directory. The domain names Thebes.com and Luxor.com were already taken when the respondent selected the name. The respondent has contacted many businesses in Luxor to offer them a place in the proposed tiba.com directory. He offers to list their businesses in this directory for $100.00 per year with an option to have a website as a subdomain. A subdomain would cost $200.00 per year. For example, the Fardoos Hotel can use the u.r.l. http://fardoos.tiba.com. Some prospective clients have paid for the year 2001.
The respondent has invested time and money marketing the idea of an on-line directory of businesses in Tiba. He feels there is value in having a short meaningful domain name tiba.com rather than a longer version such as tiba.city.com. The fact the website is not up and running and is due to his incomplete attempts to get paying clients to finance the website and because he is overwhelmed by his publishing business and has no time to work on it.
The respondent states that he was not aware of the complainant or its service mark at any time before he got the complainant through eResolution. He was not trying to sell the domain name specifically to the complainant or to anyone. He points out that the complainant did not contact him directly and that the $300.00 bid reached him through GreatDomains.com. The identity of the bidder was not revealed to the respondent.
4. Parties' Contentions
The complainant's contention is that the registrant has not acquired any rights in tiba.com and is not using it to provide goods and services. The complainant alleges that the offer for sale of the domain name is use in bad faith. The $3,000.00 asking price is said to be much more than the cost of the domain name. Further, the complainant asserts that the respondent is intending to sell tiba.com to the owner of the service mark "tiba", to prevent its use by the service mark owner by selling it to the general public, or to drive up the price of the sale to the service mark owner by enticing third parties to purchase it. The complainant suggests that "The Internet Business Associations", as identified in the GreatDomains.com posting, is one such third party being so enticed by the advertisement.
The respondent says that as a person born in Tiba, living in Tiba and working in Tiba, who wishes to create a website about Tiba for businesses purposes, he has a legitimate interest in using tiba.com as a domain name for that purpose. He has already invested money in establishing that business.
The respondent explains the listing of tiba.com for sale on GreatDomains.com in two ways. He says that he listed it without any intention of selling it, but just to see how much a domain name can be attractive through offers he may receive for it. He says it can help him determine how much marketing value that domain name can bring to a website about the city. Besides, he states that there is always the possibility that someone will offer him enough for it that he would have an incentive to sell it and to use a different domain name for his proposed online directory about Tiba (Luxor).
5. Discussion and Findings
The applicable provisions of the ICANN Uniform Name Dispute Resolution Policy are found in section 4 of the Policy. The complainant has the onus of showing that the registrant has a domain name identical to its service mark, that the respondent has no rights or legitimate interest in respect of the domain name, and that the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
The complainant has demonstrated the identity of the domain name and its trade mark.
The complainant has not made out either of the latter two grounds.
The respondent has a legitimate interest in the tiba.com domain name. It is a former name of the city he lives in. He intends to use it in connection with a business related to that city. The complainant's trade mark rights are not alleged to extend beyond the borders of the United States. There is no allegation the mark is used, registered or known outside the United States. Accordingly, there is no reason to suppose that its adoption in Egypt by an Egyptian is illegitimate.
Further, the allegation is that the domain name was registered and is being used by the respondent in bad faith. The policy provides the following example of bad faith:
"circumstances indicating that you [the respondent] have registered or you have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling. renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess for your documented out of pocket costs directly related to the domain name;"
The respondent did not acquire the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting or otherwise transferring it. He acquired it primarily for the purpose of establishing a web site dealing with the city of Luxor. Second, the respondent did not set out to sell the domain name to the owner of the service mark. There was no owner of the service mark in Egypt. The respondent had never heard of the complainant, the owner of the service mark in the United States. He made no attempt to contact the complainant even after it made a bid for the domain name. Mr. Hindawi did not make a counter-offer when the complainant made a bid for the domain name.
There is no evidence that "The Internet Business Association" existed or that it is a competitor of the complainant. It is plainly just a suggested use of the domain name made to potential buyers.
In view of the finding that no bad faith can be attributed to the respondent, I make no finding as to whether there has been "use" of the domain name.
7. Signature
Signed at Toronto, Ontario this 29th day of June, 2000.

CONGREVE, RICHARD (1818–1899), English Positivist, was born at Leamington on the 4th of September 1818, and was educated at Rugby under Dr Arnold, who is said to have expressed a higher opinion of him than of any other pupil. After taking first-class honours at Oxford and gaining a fellowship at Wadham College, he spent some time as a master at Rugby, but returned to Oxford as a tutor. Soon after the revolution of 1848 he visited Paris, where he made the acquaintance of Barthélemy St Hilaire and Auguste Comte. He was so attracted by the Positive philosophy that he resigned his fellowship in 1855, and devoted the remainder of his life to the propagation of the Positive philosophy. He took a leading part in the work carried on in Chapel Street, Lamb's Conduit Street. In 1878 he declined to admit the authority of Pierre Laffitte, Comte's official successor, and the result was a split in the ranks of English Positivism, Frederic Harrison, Dr J. H. Bridges and Professor E. Beesly forming a separate society at Newton Hall, Fetter Lane. Congreve translated several of Comte's works, and in 1874 published a large volume of essays, in which he advocated Comte's view that it was the duty of Great Britain to renounce her foreign possessions. He was a man of high character, courtly manners and great intellectual capacity. He died at Hampstead on the 5th of July 1899.

Rep. Steube Seeks To Repeal A "Mickey Mouse" Law, Hold Disney Accountable For Woke Politics
Liam Edgar July 3, 2022
U.S. Rep. Greg Steube seeks to hold the Walt Disney Co. accountable for woke politics that he sees as harmful to children.
The Sarasota Republican recently filed a bill that strips Disney of its special copyright privileges, which are rooted in the company's most famous creation, Mickey Mouse.
Under his Copyright Restoration Clause Act, the exclusive legal protection granted to newly copyrighted materials would max out at 56 years – instead of the current 95 to 120 years.
In a statement, Steube noted his bill would also apply retroactively to "massive corporations like Disney that have been granted unnecessarily long copyright monopolies."
Yet the congressman made clear that Disney is the impetus for this bill.
"This legislation will remove their special privileges and even the playing field for all entertainment companies," Steube said in a statement. "It's unacceptable that Disney has been allowed to use their privilege to conduct reprehensible work with the Chinese Communist regime, force sexual indoctrination on America's youth, and most recently, aid the murder of unborn babies."
Steube was referring to Disney not only making movies in China but censoring content to appease that nation's communist leaders.
Yet at home, Disney also has openly promoted its pro-LGBTQ agenda and content aimed at children and has vowed to repeal or overturn Florida's Parental Rights in Education law, which bans school districts and classroom teachers from implementing lesson plans based on sexual orientation or gender identity in grades K-3.
In the news: Tampa Car Wash Surveillance Video Sought After Windshield Violently Shattered, Injuring Man
More recently, following the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, Disney pledged to pay travel expenses for employees seeking abortions.
For most of America's history, copyrighted content was protected for exclusive use by its creator for a maximum of 56 years.
Congress changed that in 1976 and again in 1998. The latter revision to federal law extended the deadline to the life of the creator plus 70 years, or if it was created by a company, to 120 years after its creation or 95 years after publication.
The law was ridiculed as the "Mickey Mouse Protection Act" because Disney unveiled Mickey Mouse in 1928, which keeps Mickey from entering public domain until 2024.
In April, Steube was among 19 House Republicans who notified Disney that they would no longer extend protection of its copyrighted materials because of its woke politics. Also signing that letter from Florida were Reps. Byron Donalds of Naples and Kat Cammack of Gainesville.
In the letter to Disney CEO Bob Chapek, they wrote, "In recent years, Disney has sought to expand business in China by kowtowing to its Communist regime, which is actively engaged in human rights abuses and the theft of U.S. intellectual property. … At home, Disney has capitulated to far-left activists through hypocritical, woke corporate actions."
"Given Disney's continued work with a Communist Chinese regime that does not respect human rights or U.S. intellectual property and given your desire to influence young children with sexual material inappropriate for their age, (we) will not support further extensions applicable to your copyrights, which should become public domain."
"It's unfortunate that Disney, once an American success story, has allied with a hostile foreign regime and domestic ideologues who seek to tear our country apart."

4th Annual Darron L. Wright Contest Opens
Creators of the Chicago-based digital military-lit journal "Line of Advance" have opened submissions to the Fourth Annual Col. Darron L. Wright memorial writing awards. The awards are one of the premier waypoints on military-writers' literary calendars. The contest regularly features both emerging and established writer-veterans, encourages the submission of innovative and experimental forms, and offers significant monetary awards.
While the contest has previously been appeared annually in the spring, editors this year deliberately shifted the submissions window into the summer months. Submissions window opens June 1 and closes Aug. 31, 2019.
The contest is named after a U.S. Army officer and author who served on three Iraq War deployments, who was killed in a stateside parachute training accident on Sept. 23, 2013. He was 45.
Line of Advance Editor Chris Lyke writes:
Thanks to a generous donation from the Blake and Bailey Foundation, Line of Advance is presenting the Col. Darron L. Wright Award. Like us, Darron Wright was a soldier: a larger-than-life infantry commander with several tours under his belt. And also like us, Col. Wright was a writer: a thoughtful, reflective artist, eager to tell the truth about his men with compassion and a commander's eye. This award is presented in his name in an effort to honor his memory.
The contest accepts both prose (for contest purposes, this category includes fiction, non-fiction, and hybrid forms) and poetry. Deadline is Aug. 31, 2019. Contest is open to military service members and veterans.
Three finalists will be named, with $250, $150, and $100 prizes to be awarded in each category—prose and poetry. Submissions may be made via the journal's website here, or by e-mail: chris AT lineofadvance DOT org
Regardless of method, make sure to specify "contest" at the end of the title field.
According to a corresponding note on the publication's Facebook page, all contest submissions will be published on the website, and winners will be chosen by a panel of veteran and non-veteran writers and poets.
In addition to other assignments, Darron Wright served as battalion operations officer for 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, Colo., with whom he deployed to Iraq from 2003 to 2004. Wright was next assigned as brigade executive officer with 4th Brigade, 4th Inf. Div., Fort Hood, Texas, with whom he deployed to Iraq from 2005 to 2006. He commanded the 1st Battalion, 509th Parachute Inf. Reg. at the Joint Readiness Training Center, Fort Polk, La. in 2007. From 2009 to 2013, Wright was assigned as deputy brigade commander for the 4th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Inf. Div., with whom he deployed to Iraq from 2009 to 2010.
A graduate of the U.S. Naval War College, Wright authored "Iraq Full Circle: From Shock and Awe to the Last Combat Patrol in Baghdad and Beyond." in 2012.
Wright's full biography appears here.
"Darron L. Wright was a larger than life Soldier's Soldier. He was a physically imposing, direct, and skilled warrior," the Line of Advance editors write.
He was also witty, hilarious, generous, kind, and wholly consumed with love for his family. He will certainly be missed but he will never be forgotten. His intellectual curiosity, boundless optimism, and untiring work ethic, allowed him to reach heights he could only dream of as a young boy growing up in Mesquite, Texas. It is in this spirit that the Darron L. Wright Award was created, to inspire fellow military writers and poets to aspire to become better and more accomplished at their craft and at telling their story.
Disclosure: The writer of The Aiming Circle has twice placed as a poetry finalist in previous iterations of the Col. Darron L. Wright memorial writing contest.

The enormous economic value of vaccination – that is, the economic benefits of a vaccine far outweighs the costs – is often overlooked, especially by those who invent some massive conspiracy by "Big Pharma" to push vaccines.
The standard anti-vaccine trope is that vaccines are a gargantuan profit center for pharmaceutical companies. That would be false. In fact, if we are going to endow Big Pharma with immorality and evil motives, they would stop making vaccines and profiting off of the massive illnesses that would ensue. But that's not what happens.
The facts are that pharmaceutical companies manufacture and market vaccines at a moderate profit, forsaking the much larger profits in a world with rampant vaccine-preventable diseases. I'm not one of those naïve individuals who think that Big Pharma is filled with 100% altruistic and moral individuals. However, it mostly is.
Moving away from the economic benefits and profits for the pharmaceutical industry, there is a tremendous economic value of vaccination for society at large. And it's important to make this clear to anyone who is willing to listen.
In a study by Sachiko Ozawa et al., from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, published in the journal, Health Affairs, examined the vaccination rates of 94 low- and middle-income countries from 2011 to 2020 to determine the economic benefits of vaccine programs.
The researchers took two different approaches to examining the evidence of a economic benefit of vaccination.
In the first method, the team examined the "cost of illness" and focuses on items like the actual cost of treatment and productivity losses. In this method, they found that there was US$16.00 benefit for every dollar spent on vaccinations.
They then took a broader examination, which included economic and social benefits of living a longer and healthier life – using that data, the researchers found a US$44.00 benefit for every dollar spent.
To make the data as realistic as possible, the study team included the costs of supply chain, service delivery, vaccine costs, and vaccine storage in the "price" of the vaccinations. And yes, they included the cost of "vaccine adverse events," of which there were so few, it had no profound impact on the study data.
In addition, the study assessed 10 vaccine-preventable infections: Haemophilus influenzae type b, hepatitis B, human papillomavirus, Japanese encephalitis, measles, Neisseria meningitis serogroup A, rotavirus, rubella, Streptococcus pneumoniae and yellow fever. All of these infectious and dangerous diseases can be prevented by routinely available vaccines.
In this article we also argue that socioethical contributions such as effects on health equity, sustaining the public good of herd immunity, and social integration of minority groups are neglected in cost-effectiveness analysis. Evaluations of vaccination programs require broad and multidimensional perspectives that can account for their social, ethical, and economic impact as well as their cost-effectiveness.
In 2014, over US$3.6 billion in vaccine assistance, driven predominantly by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, which is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the governments of the United States and United Kingdom, was given to lower and middle income countries throughout the world. Using the $44 benefit for each dollar spent, the overall value of the contribution is over US$150 billion for health care. And of course, the social benefits are even larger.
Vaccines save lives. They also save on the cost of health care. Most of real science has described vaccines as a miracle drug, one of the greatest inventions of modern medicine. This article by Ozawa et al. provides us with data to support the economic value of vaccination.
The anti-vaccine culture overlooks many facts in their religious beliefs about vaccines. They disregard the toll of deaths. Their religion ignores the costs of hospitalizations. The anti-vaccine world trivializes the impact on families and parents from vaccine preventable diseases.
The best we can do is show the anti-vaccine adherents the facts.

Muff Festival Greetings Card. We're sure this would be quite a popular Festival! Here's a funny black and white photographic greetings card by Icon.

Mobile phones with good cameras for photos, video, and sound recording allow so much disaster information to be created and communicated online. But raw experience and recording is not the same thing as professional ethnographers who observe and participate at the site of a disaster to produce documentary stories and analysis. Of course, these raw material can inform the emergency managers and responders in the field, and sometimes it helps the survivors to react to events in a controlled way to re-establish a little comfort. But for the purposes of understanding the personal experiences, the social complications, and the cultural shocks it is necessary to permit social scientists to be part of the response effort, once the lives have been saved and property has been protected from additional loss.
At the time of the Great East Japan disaster in 2011 the survivors, the journalists, the government and emergency personnel, as well as academics, all created records and interpretations of the events and ongoing situation. As David H. Slater writes in Japan Copes with Calamity (2015 Peter Lang publishing), the 3.11 events may be the most documented, multi-site disaster (first edition of book translated by Jinbun Shoin of Kyoto in 2013 as Higashi-Nihon daishinsai no jinruigaku, 東日本大震災の人類学). But is there any value in disaster documentary at the time of tragedy or later, when viewed in hindsight?
Soon after the chaos, injury, and disorientation of evacuation, many of the details, emotions, and thoughts fade away. So rapid but simple interview and observation is important to capture the true conditions, including both the good and bad results of emergency precautions and communications: did the system reduce the full impact of the disaster and secondary damage? Lessons can be learned for solving current problems and for future improvements, too. Big disasters, in particular, may only be once-in-a-lifetime events. So a good documentary collection helps researchers and emergency responders in other countries learn from the problems and solutions, too. Unlike the professional emergency responders and managers who debrief their self-evaluation in After Action Reports, the fieldwork of trained ethnographic listeners and observers seeks to record feelings, meanings, processes, and individual life decisions. The ethnographers might comment on the performance of volunteers or professional responders, but that is just one part of the larger experience that is being documented. Discovering ways to relieve confusion and rebuild trust and social relationships is another purpose of this rapid fieldwork and also the later follow-up, long-term studies. Survivors often want these experiences that cost so much for their personal lives and businesses to be shared so that others will not suffer in the same way.
Therefore both the analytical results and the therapeutic results of documenting the responses to the disaster are valuable. Future research can go back to the rich details and voices in the documentary record in order to seek answers or comparisons to other situations. But with no documentary records, there would be little possibility for future researchers to understand the disaster details. In conclusion, the reason to document a disaster is not only for survivors, and for emergency planners now, but also for comparison elsewhere in the world and for future researchers, too. So the fieldwork is worth doing well and doing with care.

The soldier-spirit in Joan was offended at this puerility. She drew herself up, and said with dignity and fire: "What I said to them was, 'Ride those English down!' and I did it myself."
Whenever she flung out a scornful speech like that at these French menials in English livery it lashed them into a rage; and that is what happened this time. There were ten, twenty, sometimes even thirty of them on their feet at a time, storming at the prisoner minute after minute, but Joan was not disturbed.
By and by there was peace, and the inquiry was resumed.
It was now sought to turn against Joan the thousand loving honors which had been done her when she was raising France out of the dirt and shame of a century of slavery and castigation.
"Did you not cause paintings and images of yourself to be made?"
"No. At Arras I saw a painting of myself kneeling in armor before the King and delivering him a letter; but I caused no such things to be made."
"Were not masses and prayers said in your honor?"
"If it was done it was not by my command. But if any prayed for me I think it was no harm."
"Did the French people believe you were sent of God?"
"As to that, I know not; but whether they believed it or not, I was not the less sent of God."
"If they thought you were sent of God, do you think it was well thought?"
"If they believed it, their trust was not abused."
"What impulse was it, think you, that moved the people to kiss your hands, your feet, and your vestments?"
"They were glad to see me, and so they did those things; and I could not have prevented them if I had had the heart. Those poor people came lovingly to me because I had not done them any hurt, but had done the best I could for them according to my strength."
See what modest little words she uses to describe that touching specatcle, her marches about France walled in on both sides by the adoring multitudes: "They were glad to see me." Glad?
Why they were transported with joy to see her. When they could not kiss her hands or her feet, they knelt in the mire and kissed the hoof-prints of her horse. They worshiped her; and that is what these priests were trying to prove. It was nothing to them that she was not to blame for what other people did. No, if she was worshiped, it was enough; she was guilty of mortal sin.
Curious logic, one must say.
"Did you not stand sponsor for some children baptized at Rheims?"
"At Troyes I did, and at St. Denis; and I named the boys Charles, in honor of the King, and the girls I named Joan."
"Did not women touch their rings to those which you wore?"
"Yes, many did, but I did not know their reason for it."
"At Rheims was your Standard carried into the church? Did you stand at the altar with it in your hand at the Coronation?"
"In passing through the country did you confess yourself in the Churches and receive the sacrament?"
"In the dress of a man?"
"Yes. But I do not remember that I was in armor."
It was almost a concession! almost a half-surrender of the permission granted her by the Church at Poitiers to dress as a man. The wily court shifted to another matter: to pursue this one at this time might call Joan's attention to her small mistake, and by her native cleverness she might recover her lost ground. The tempestuous session had worn her and drowsed her alertness.
"It is reported that you brought a dead child to life in the church at Lagny. Was that in answer to your prayers?"
"As to that, I have no knowledge. Other young girls were praying for the child, and I joined them and prayed also, doing no more than they."
"While we prayed it came to life, and cried. It had been dead three days, and was as black as my doublet. It was straight way baptized, then it passed from life again and was buried in holy ground."
"Why did you jump from the tower of Beaurevoir by night and try to escape?"
"I would go to the succor of Compi�gne."
It was insinuated that this was an attempt to commit the deep crime of suicide to avoid falling into the hands of the English.

Congressional Regulatory Override — The Rulebook
TipSheet: Congressional Regulatory Override — The Rulebook
The first inning of the Trump administration is likely to see multiple moves by Congress to overrule "midnight regulations" issued during the closing months of the Obama administration. What allows this is a rarely used 1996 law known as the Congressional Review Act.
In its last months, the Obama administration's environmental and energy agencies took many executive actions opposed by Republicans. Some, but hardly all, will be vulnerable to Congressional reversal. Since it's likely to be a recurring story, journalists will want to know the rules.
One reason the Congressional Review Act has rarely been used is that it generally applies only when the White House is controlled by one party and both chambers of Congress are controlled by the other party. Importantly, the President can veto an override resolution (a veto override requires a two-thirds majority in both chambers). As Donald Trump assumes the presidency, he can accept overrides that President Barack Obama would have vetoed.
Republicans in Congress have voiced strong disapproval of many last-minute Obama actions. They include regulations on toxic air pollution from oil refineries, methane emissions from oil and gas production on federal lands and protection of streams from mountaintop removal mining.
The act only applies to regulations, or rulemaking, in the classic sense defined in the Administrative Procedure Act. Executive orders issued by one president are not regulations, and can be rescinded or revised by a later president.
Regulations about toxic air pollution from oil refineries are among many Obama administration actions that may be targetted for reversal by Republicans in Congress. Image: © Clipart.com
Several controversial late-2016 executive actions by President Obama are probably not subject to the Act because they are not rulemakings. Furthermore, they may not be reversible by Trump because they are not executive orders. There are two important examples.
One is the Antiquities Act, passed by Congress and signed by President Theodore Roosevelt back in 1906. It authorizes the president to set aside tracts of land for conservation as national monuments. And President Obama has done so — big time — especially in the past year.
But the Antiquities Act makes no mention of reversing presidential actions. It would be hard. In theory, Congress might be able to do this, but it has never really been done. Getting any such action through the Senate would probably require a filibuster-proof majority of 60 votes, which the Republicans do not have.
The other is the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953, which governs oil and gas leasing on the federal portion of U.S. offshore waters. Under this law, President Obama on Dec. 20, 2016, withdrew vast tracts of Alaskan Arctic and Atlantic waters from leasing and drilling. The Act provides for such withdrawals by the president, but does not mention any means for undoing such withdrawals. Trump would probably need to win in court to overturn Obama's Dec. 20 withdrawal.
While the Congressional Review Act does allow presidential veto, it has written into it exemptions blocking the power of a Senate filibuster. This would make it easier to get resolutions of disapproval through the narrowly divided (effectively 52-48) Senate now seated. But only two or three Senate GOP defections could stop any particular regulatory override.
Another important limit on the Congressional Review Act is the calendar. The law gives Congress only 60 legislative days to act. The definition of that period can be argued. But the Congressional Research Service says rules issued before June 13, 2016, are safe from override. The question of how long the current (115th) Congress has to act is murkier, but it is not much more than 60 legislative days.
Fuller accounts of the rulebook for the Congressional Review Act are here, here and here.
TipSheet will watch for and report on specific regulations facing override as they emerge in the coming days. Let us know if you want to suggest any particular focus by emailing TipSheet editor Joseph Davis at sejournaleditor@sej.org.

Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reus is expected to miss the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie against Tottenham on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old was substituted off at half-time of the DFB-Pokal clash against Werder Bremen last Tuesday with a muscle injury and was unavailable for Saturday's 3-3 Bundesliga draw with Hoffenheim.
The winger has struggled with persistent injuries throughout his career, but has been a mainstay in Lucien Favre's team this season. The Germany international has scored 17 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions for the team sitting seven points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc would not rule out Reus playing a role in Wednesday's visit to Wembley, but is not optimistic about his chances of making the squad.
"It's nice that he's back on the pitch. Manuel is on schedule, but one must not forget that he has been out for a long time. It will take some time," Zorc said.
Meanwhile, Lukasz Piszczek, who captains Dortmund in Reus's absence, complained of a problem with his heel after the draw with Hoffenheim and will be assessed before he is cleared to play against Spurs.
Dortmund head into the European encounter without a win in their last three matches, having been eliminated from the DFB-Pokal by Werder Bremen on penalties in between consecutive draws in the Bundesliga.


How have major league athletes prolonged careers and achieved injury-free seasons?
What formula did two aerobics champions incorporate to capture five national titles?
How are people from all walks of life removing their physical limitations and improving their performance in everything from golf and tennis, to dance and martial arts?
The answer is Charlie Trezevant's flexibility program.

Cessna 177 Series Aircraft Information
A light, high-wing general aviation aircraft, the Cessna 177 Cardinal, was intended to replace the Cessna 172 Skyhawk. The capacity of the 177 is for one crew member and three passengers. The empty weight is 1495 lb (680 kg) and the maximum takeoff weight is 2500 lb (1100 kg). Cruise speed is 124 knots (143, 230 km/h) and maximum speed is 136 knots (157 mph, 250 km/h). The aircraft was produced from 1968 to 1978. During this time frame, 4295 Cessna 177s were built. Various models produced include the 177, 177A, 177B, and 177RG. The Cessna 177/180 Conversion is also available. Designed in the mid-1960s the 177 featured newer technology such as a cantilever wing with a laminar flow airfoil. The aircraft is the only high-wing single-engined Cessna to have both fixed landing gear and a cantilever wing without strut bracing since the Cessna 190 and 195. The original Cessna Model 177 was introduced in late 1967 with a 150 horsepower engine. One of Cessna's design goals for the 177 was allowing the pilot an unobstructed view when making a turn. A cardinal logo may be seen on many 177s and 177RGs. The 177 had more power than the 145 hp Cessna 172. Even with its 150 hp engine the Cessna 177 was considered «underpowered». In 1969, Cessna introduced the 177A featuring a 180 hp version of the same four-cylinder Lycoming used in the 177. This additional power increased cruise speed by 11 knots. The Cessna 177B had a new wing airfoil and a constant-speed propeller. The aircraft was introduced in 1970. The 177B had a maximum takeoff weight of 2500 lb (1135 kg) which was increased from 2350 lb (1067 kg). The Cardinal Classic, a deluxe version of the Cessna 177B, has leather upholstery, a table for the rear passengers, and a 28-Volt electrical system. Cessna built the Cardinal Classic in 1978. The Cessna 177B also included fiberglass, downward-shaped, conical wing tips. In 1971, Cessna began producing the Cessna 177RG with retractable landing gear. The 177RG has a 200 hp Lycoming IO-360 engine to offset the almost 300 lb (136 kg) increased in maximum weight, much of which was from the electrically-powered hydraulic gear mechanism. These advancements result in an increased cruise speed of 146 knots. Models of the 177RG built in France by Reims are referred to as the Reims F177RG.	Today, the Cessna 177 Cardinal is considered a desirable aircraft to own. The 177 offers large doors for easy entry, reasonable performance for the power, active owners groups, and an attractive appearance. The 177 offers better upward visibility than the 172 because of its steeply rake windshield and more aft-mounted wing. The aircraft also makes an excellent platform for aerial photography.To view the various models currently available, please check out our Cessna aircraft for sale for descriptions and photos or PLACE A LISTING of your aircraft for sale.
