Die Übertreibsicherung ist spezieller Teil der Schachtführung, die dazu dient, das Fördermittel abzubremsen, damit es beim Übertreiben möglichst vor den  Seilscheiben zum Stehen kommt. Die abbremsende Wirkung darf jedoch erst außerhalb der Endstellung des Fördermittels und nach dem Endschalter einsetzen. Die maximale Verzögerung des Fördermittels soll aus Sicherheitsgründen den Wert von 9,81 m/s² nicht überschreiten. Übertreibsicherungen müssen in regelmäßigen Abständen durch fachkundiges und von verantwortliches Personal überprüft werden.

Grundlagen und Geschichtliches
Im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts konnte die Fahrgeschwindigkeit der Fördergefäße, bedingt durch die Leistungssteigerung der Fördermaschinen, erheblich gesteigert werden. Dadurch konnte zwar die Effektivität der Schachtförderung gesteigert werden, jedoch vergrößerte sich auch die Gefahr, dass der Förderkorb übertrieb. Gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts kam es, durch Übertreiben, vermehrt zu kleineren Unfällen bei der Seilfahrt. Im Jahr 1898 verunglückten 17 Bergleute auf der Zeche General Blumenthal tödlich, weil der Förderkorb bis unter die Seilscheiben hochgezogen wurde. Aus diesem Grund genehmigte der Minister für Handel und Gewerbe die Bildung einer Kommission, bestehend aus Vertretern der Privatindustrie und der Bergbehörde. Zweck dieser Kommission war die Untersuchung der bestehenden Sicherheitseinrichtungen der Schachtförderanlagen. Um das Übertreiben des Förderkorbes zu beenden, gibt es die Möglichkeiten, entweder durch entsprechende Sicherheitsapparate in die Steuerung der Fördermaschine einzugreifen, oder durch mechanische, auf die Förderschale einwirkende Sicherheitseinrichtungen diesen dann abzubremsen.

Notwendigkeit der Übertreibsicherung
Bei Schachtförderanlagen ist es möglich, dass sich bei einem Defekt in der Steuerung das Fördermittel über den obersten Anschlag hinweg bewegt. In diesem Fall sorgt dann eine Sicherheitseinrichtung, die direkt auf die Steuerung der Maschine einwirkt, dass die Maschine angehalten wird. Die Fördermaschine wird dann durch den Endschalter abgeschaltet und über die Sicherheitsbremse abgebremst. Für den Fall, dass der Endschalter nicht einwandfrei arbeitet oder sogar total ausfällt, muss aus sicherheitstechnischen Gründen eine mechanische Vorrichtung die Geschwindigkeit des Fördermittels stark reduzieren. Fährt das Fördermittel ungebremst bis unter den Prellträger, kann dies schwerwiegende Folgen bis hin zum Seilbruch haben. In diesem Fall muss der Förderkorb durch die Fangstützen vor dem Absturz gesichert werden. Selbst bei geringer Geschwindigkeit eines Förderkorbes kann es für die auf ihm Fahrenden mit schweren Folgen verbunden sein, wenn der Korb ungebremst unter den Prellträger fährt. Durch die Übertreibsicherung werden die Folgen des Übertreibens gemindert.

Aufbau
Die Übertreibsicherung besteht aus dem Endabschnitt der Schachtführung und einer Einrichtung zum Abbremsen an der Schachtführung, die das Verzögern des Fördermittels bewirkt. In der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden für das Verzögern der Fördergefäße speziell geformte Bremsschuhe verwendet. Bei den heutigen Schachtförderanlagen mit Spurlattenführung werden verdickte oder gegeneinander geneigte Spurlatten verwendet. Die verbreiterten oder zusammengezogenen Spurlatten müssen immer aus Holz erstellt werden. Bei Anlagen mit Schienenführung können die Einrichtungen zum Abbremsen auch aus Stahl bestehen. Bei Schachtförderanlagen mit einer Fördergeschwindigkeit bis zu einem Meter pro Sekunde können auch elastische Puffereinrichtungen mit einem Pufferweg von mindestens 200 Millimetern als Einrichtung zum Abbremsen verwendet werden.

Spurlattenverdickung
Die Spurlattenverdickung wird so ausgeführt, dass oberhalb und unterhalb der äußersten Betriebsstellung der Fördermittel die Spurlatten verbreitert werden. Diese Verbreiterung wird symmetrisch auf jeder Seite der Spurlatten durchgeführt. Bei Schachtförderanlagen mit einer Fördergeschwindigkeit von mehr als 4  muss die Verbreiterung mit einer Steigung von 1:100 ausgeführt werden, bei Anlagen mit einer geringeren Geschwindigkeit reicht eine Steigung von 1:40. Die maximale Stärke der Verdickung beträgt pro Seite fünfzig Millimeter, dadurch wird eine maximale Verdickung von 100 Millimetern erreicht. Die Verbreiterung darf sich maximal über eine Länge von fünf Metern erstrecken. Erzeugt wird die Verdickung entweder durch das Zuschneiden der Spurlatten oder das Auseinanderspreizen von zwei Spurlattenhälften mittels eingeschlagener Keile. Die Keile werden von hinten in die Spurlatten eingeschlagen, da von vorne eingeschlagene Keile leicht abgestreift werden könnten. Die Verbreiterung darf nicht durch Aufnageln, Anschrauben oder Aufkleben von Keilen erzeugt werden. Wird ein Förderkorb bis in die Spurlattenverdickung gefahren, wird diese hierbei durch die Führungsschuhe des Korbes beschädigt.

Zusammengezogene Spurlattenstränge
Bei dieser Form der Einrichtung zum Abbremsen werden die Abstände der Spurlattenstränge unterhalb des Füllortes in ihrem lichten Zwischenraum verringert. Hierbei wird jeder Spurlatte eine Neigung gegen die Senkrechte gegeben. Bei Anlagen mit einer Fahrgeschwindigkeit von mehr als 4  beträgt die Steigung 1:50, bei Anlagen mit geringeren Fahrgeschwindigkeiten 1:20. Die Steigung darf sich maximal über eine Länge von fünf Metern erstrecken. Die maximale Verringerung des Abstandes beträgt dabei 200 Millimeter. Die Spurlatten müssen in diesem Bereich besonders stark gegen die Schachtwand versteift werden. Nach der Verringerung der Spurlattenweite müssen die Führungsflächen der Spurlatten wieder parallel zueinander verlaufen. Da auf die Spurlatten ein starker Druck wirkt, können zusammengezogene Spurlatten nicht oberhalb der Hängebank im Fördergerüst eingebaut werden. Der nach auswärts gerichtete Druck würde das Fördergerüst verbiegen. Bei seitlich geführten Fördermitteln kann konstruktionsbedingt das Zusammenziehen der Spurlatten auch im Schachtsumpf nicht angewendet werden, da hier die an den Mitteleinstrichen befestigten Spurlatten nicht genügend abgestützt werden können. Nachteilig ist bei zusammengezogenen Spurlatten auch die negative Auswirkung auf das Fördermittel, da dieses beim Einfahren in den verengten Bereich verformt wird.

Andrew Phung X Loose Moose Theatre Canadian Made Collaboration Crew
This week on the blog, we hear from Andrew Phung, Canadian actor, improviser, comedian and star of CBC's sitcom, Kim's Convenience. Andrew talks about his love for Calgary's world-famous home of improvised comedy, Loose Moose Theatre Company and how it shaped the man is he today! Keep scrolling for the 411...
We first met Andrew Phung when he MC'd at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce Small Business Awards Gala. In our experience, many MCs can be pretty hit or miss, but the audience was literally hanging off every word Andrew said, howling in their seats. We knew Andrew from his role as Kimchee on CBC's hit show Kim's Convenience, but we never realized how funny he was until the night of the gala. That's when we knew we needed to cook up some trouble with him!
We sat down with Andrew over coffee and came up with some ideas about how we could share his story–the story of a local Calgary boy who took his passion for comedy and love of improv and made it to the big leagues. Andrew said a huge contributor to his success was Loose Moose Theatre, a local improvisational theatre known for its world-class techniques, training and presentation. The Moose also happened to be the place where Andrew got his start as the head of the high school improv program. It was easy to come up with the concept for our collaboration from there!
Now, we'll turn it over to Andrew...
"When I was 16 years old, I first step foot into the Loose Moose Theatre Company and my life was forever changed. The home of Theatresports, the Moose showed me the world of improvised comedy and welcomed me with open arms. It was a place where I could learn, a stage where I could fail, and a green room where I created friendships that will last forever. In short, the Moose is a Calgary comedy institution, a place that true Calgarians know about, and a theatre that performers from around the world have read about.
Photo by Manveer Sandhu
This theatre changed my life and I owe everything to what I learned at the Moose. I wanted to create a custom piece that reflected the theatre and what so many people have learned from it.
The crest on the left side features the iconic Moose, looking upward and majestic. The broken pieces that form the Moose signify the rules we break on stage. As improvisers, we're trained to build the basics of the scene, and when the time is right, we shake it up to create a change in our characters. That's the fun of it all and what makes live improv so enjoyable.
Loose Moose collaboration design, created by Erin Lawerence.
When getting ready and prepped for shows, I've often written little pieces of advice to myself on my hand or on my wrist. I'd look down before a scene and read the words out quietly. I wanted to carry that tradition and have it reflected in this clothing piece.
On the inner side of the left sleeve, in small writing, are three pieces of wisdom:
These are three of the most important things I've learned at the Loose Moose Theatre Company. I've learned over the years that being positive, allowing myself to make mistakes and embracing the failure in my life, has made me a better performer, partner, father, and human being. So anytime you need a reminder of some ways to take on the stage, and life, look down at your sleeve and take a deep breath.
I'm so proud to work with Local Laundry on this crewneck sweater. It's a piece that represents a place so uniquely Calgary, featuring words that have inspired performers and all people, and designed and produced locally.
This is for the Moosers around the world, it's for anyone who's laughed at our shows, and it's for future generations of comedy kids playing silly improv games on weekends with their friends. Long live the Moose!
Pre-order your collab Moose crew NOW!
Sweaters are available NOW until Sunday, March 15th ONLY! Don't miss out on your chance to rep the Moose!

OxyContin, Heroin and the Opioid Crisis
July 03, 2018 / Pat Anson
By Roger Chriss, PNN Columnist
The roles of heroin and OxyContin in the opioid crisis are frequently mischaracterized and misunderstood. Such is the case with a recent op/ed in The Washington Post.
"In the 1990s, when the industry began aggressively marketing prescription opioids such as OxyContin, heroin was a minimal presence in American life," wrote Keith Humphreys, PhD, a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University
This is an unfortunate and common error about the role of heroin in the opioid crisis. Humphreys is repeating what many politicians and policymakers have also claimed. It's important to correct this error because otherwise we will misunderstand how to treat heroin addiction, what our options are for pain management, and how to create sound policies to address the opioid crisis.
In fact, the U.S. has long had a major problem with heroin. Mexican black tar heroin arrived decades before OxyContin, and opioid addiction is usually a result of recreational use starting during adolescence, with addiction due to medical care being uncommon.
According to the book "Dark Paradise" by historian David Courtwright, researchers estimated the number of heroin addicts in the U.S. during the 1990s at a half million or more, about the same level as in the mid-1970s. This is also close to the 626,000 heroin addicts that the National Institute of Drug Abuse estimates for 2016.
Fatal overdoses involving Mexican black tar heroin were increasing even before OxyContin was introduced by Purdue Pharma in 1996. Sam Quinones notes in "Dreamland" that Oregon's Multnomah County had only 10 heroin overdose deaths in 1991, about the time Mexican drug dealers arrived in Portland, but by 1999 there were 111 heroin overdoses.
So the idea that "heroin was a minimal presence in American life" isn't supported by data. Neither is the claim that heroin traffickers "set up shop in the areas of the United States with the highest prevalence of prescription opioid addiction."
According to Quinones, the Mexican drug gang the "Xalisco Boys" went into communities that were not a part of the established drug trade and were not subject to turf wars or other forms of gang violence. They wanted to fly below the radar, to avoid detection by law enforcement, and deliberately avoided carrying guns, driving fancy cars, or living large.
So the Xalisco Boys went to smaller cities like Portland and rural communities like Appalachia that were specifically chosen because they were low risk. And they were there well before 1996 and the advent of OxyContin.
Humphreys makes an additional error with his claim that about 80 percent of Americans who became heroin addicts started out with prescription opioids, according to an assessment from the National Institutes of Health. The 80% statistic varies significantly with time and place. As I wrote in a previous column, non-medical use of opioid medication was found in 50% of young adult heroin users in Ohio, in 86% of heroin users in New York and Los Angeles, and in 40%, 39%, and 70% of heroin users in San Diego, Seattle, and New York respectively.
It's also important to note that "prescription opioids" does not necessarily mean prescribed opioids. Many addicts don't have a prescription and steal, buy or borrow pain medication. The National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates that about 10 percent of patients legally prescribed opioids develop an opioid use disorder. And only about 5 percent of those who misuse their medication transition to heroin.
There is also a disturbing new trend in heroin use. A study in JAMA Psychiatry last year found that about one-third of heroin users had no prior experience with any opioid, prescription or otherwise. Heroin users often have extensive prior drug use with a variety of different substances, along with a history of severe childhood trauma or mental illness.
Humphreys' claim that the "heroin-addicted were transfers from prescription opioids" ignores another route on the path to opioid addiction. In "Drug Dealer, MD," Stanford psychiatrist Anna Lembke says some drug addicts switched from heroin to prescription opioids in the late 1990s and early 2000s because of the increased availability of the latter.
None of this is meant to exonerate OxyContin or Purdue Pharma. Barry Meier's recent book "Pain Killer" does a good job of explaining the history of the company and why it is the focus of so many lawsuits. Purdue was fined over $600 million for the illegal marketing of OxyContin and important questions about the company's actions remain to be answered.
Heroin addiction has been a major presence in American life for generations. The current opioid crisis may have been jump-started with prescription drugs, but heroin came long before OxyContin. It is better to view OxyContin as gasoline tossed on a smoldering fire, rather than blame OxyContin for heroin. The crisis is more complicated and pervasive than that.
Roger Chriss lives with Ehlers Danlos syndrome and is a proud member of the Ehlers-Danlos Society. Roger is a technical consultant in Washington state, where he specializes in mathematics and research.

Following the statement that E2E MAI is only available for customers with enterprise support and that IT Performance Reporting can be also used for standard support customers there can be a license problem for customers with standard support by activation of IT Performance Reporting.
With SAP Solution Manager 7.1, the new work center Technical Monitoring is also available, which is no longer based on the Computing Center Management System (CCMS) as its monitoring infrastructure, but rather on the Monitoring & Alerting Infrastructure (MAI). This work center also has new reporting (see Interactive Reporting). We recommend that you now only use the IT Performance Reporting in the System Monitoring work center if you have already set up central monitoring based on the CCMS and do not want to use the new MAI.
The system reports of interactive reporting are still available to you with SAP Solution Manager in IT Performance Reporting, even if the provision of the data is still based on the CCMS.
All the web templates/queries of IT Performance Reporting within Solution Manager 7.1 are part of work center Technical Monitoring and following E2E MAI.
Can customers with standard support activate the IT Performance Reporting within Solution Manager 7.1?
I can access IT Performance Reporting under the System Monitoring work center; I can also confirm that have done nothing in the way of CCMS and there is information populating the graphs/charts/tables.
I know of at least one hosting company that does monitoring for all customers (who have separate customer numbers) through one SAP Solution Manager.
The question is whether or not this is allowed or not and perhaps there was some changes since last months/years?

Q: Saving a collection of custom objects in application settings I followed Trouble saving a collection of objects in Application Settings to save my ObservableCollection of custom objects which is bound to a DataGrid in the application settings, but the data is not stored in user.config like the other settings.
Can somebody help me with this?
Thank you!
My custom classes:
[Serializable()]
public class ActuatorParameter
{
    public ActuatorParameter()
    {}
    public string caption { get; set; }
    public int value { get; set; }
    public IntRange range { get; set; }

            return true;
        else
            return false;
    }
}

Fill collection and save:
Settings.Default.pi_parameters = new ObservableCollection<ActuatorParameter>
{
new ActuatorParameter() { caption = "Velocity", range = new IntRange(1, 100000), defaultValue = 90000},
new ActuatorParameter() { caption = "Acceleration", range = new IntRange(1000, 1200000), defaultValue = 600000},

new ActuatorParameter() { caption = "I-Limit", range = new IntRange(0, 1000000), defaultValue = 2000}

        set
        {
            this["pi_parameters"] = value;
        }
    }

When Torrey Craig first joined the Nuggets in 2017 for Summer League, he had a conversation with Michael Malone in the weight room. The way Craig remembers it, Malone's message essentially was: "Why not Torrey Craig? Why can't it be you?"
Craig walked away from that moment with heightened confidence.
"That stuck with me," the 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward said. "If the head coach was saying that, I knew it meant something. I knew if I took care of what I needed to take care of, play where I was needed, eventually something good would happen, and it did."
Craig emerged from that summer with a two-way contract, allowing him to spend up to 45 days with the Nuggets and the rest of the season in the G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce. And he did well enough in both places — appearing in 39 NBA games and starting 5 while averaging 4.2 points and 3.3 rebounds — to get a two-year, $4 million deal.
Now entering his third year in the league, Craig, 28, is in contention for the starting small forward spot.
At this point, Malone is not ready to make a decision as to who will get the starting nod, but he has also made it clear that Craig has a good shot at it.
"Torrey shot lights out in September," Malone said. "And he's shot it very well in camp. If he shoots it the way he did in the playoffs, he's going to be a guy who is hard to keep off the floor."
During the playoffs, Craig shot 47.2 percent from 3-point range. That's compared to 32.4 percent during the regular season when he made 61 3-pointers.
Perhaps the clearest sign of improvement was that Craig's 40.8 percent 3-point shooting from the All-Star break to the end of the regular season led the Nuggets. He had shot only 29.5 percent from opening night to the break.
Craig is well aware that his shooting touch has deserted him at times, and is what cost him the starting job last season after Will Barton went down with a groin injury. In the first 10 games after Barton's injury, Craig went 4-of-23 on 3-point attempts. After he went 1-for-6 in back-to-back losses to the Grizzlies and Nets, he was replaced by Juancho Hernangomez in the starting lineup. To ensure it doesn't happen again, Craig spent his summer working on his shot on his own and with Team USA as part of the select team.
"I did a lot of repetition, just getting the same shots I would get up in a game," Craig said. "I mean, I always felt like I was a good shooter, but it's just a confidence thing. Toward the end of the season, during the playoffs, I got my confidence back, so I spent the summer shooting the ball and it's been pretty good."
Most of the shots Craig has been practicing have been from the corner, where he takes most of his perimeter shots during games.
"I think (his shot) is much improved," Malone said. "I try not to get too excited during … training camp because obviously, it has to carry through into real games but Torrey has put in countless hours in the gym all summer long."
Craig's defense has always been his money maker. Last year, the Nuggets finished the season with a top-10 defense, and their 3-point defense went from last in the league to first, but it's still an area Malone is emphasizing.
"You know, there were two things that jumped out from our defense (last season)," Malone said during media day. "We were 15th in the NBA in paint points allowed, and we want to be top 10 in that area. Then when it comes to (opponent) field-goal percentage, I believe we were 15th in the NBA there as well. Those are numbers we want to improve on that side of the floor."
After Barton struggled in the first three games of the Nuggets' first-round series against San Antonio in the playoffs, Craig, and his 6-foot-7 wingspan, was put into the starting lineup. He was tasked with guarding four-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan. DeRozan went from averaging 24.7 points per game with Barton defending him to 20 points for the rest of the series with Craig on him.
In the Western Conference semifinals against the Portland Trail Blazers, Malone opted to put Craig on Damian Lillard. Craig managed to hold Lillard to a 40.7 field-goal shooting percentage throughout the series. He was the Blazers' leading scorer in only three of the seven games.
Craig was almost always seen guarding opponents' best players all season long.
"(My goal this season) is to make (the NBA's) All-Defensive Team," Craig said with a grin. "I know it's kind of far out there, but you got to set some kind of goal so I'll put it out there and see what happens."
Craig did not start in the Nuggets' first preseason game of the season in Portland on Oct. 8. Instead, he came off the bench with four minutes remaining in the first quarter. He finished the game scoreless but pulled down five rebounds in eight minutes of action. He didn't play in the team's Thursday night contest against the Clippers.
When it comes to competition at small forward, Craig is taking it in stride.
"I mean, it's always good when guys compete," he said. "When we compete, we bring out the best in each other, and that's best for the team. So, as long as we approach every day the right way and compete at a high level to make each other better, that's all that matters."
Fighting his way into the spotlight is nothing new for Craig. He's done it his entire career, making the jump to the NBA from the National Basketball League in Australia.
In 2014 Craig started his professional career playing for the Cairns Taipans. After two years there, Craig signed with the Brisbane Bullets — with whom he won the NBL Defensive Player of the Year award in 2017 — and after the 2016-17 season, the Nuggets invited him to play for them in Summer League.
Two years later, Craig still thinks about the conversation he had with Malone that summer — "Why not Torrey Craig? Why can't it be you?" — and what it means to him moving forward.
"(Malone) obviously believes in me," Craig said. "He's given me the chance to play, so it means a lot."

Climate Common Sense: NASA - Cooking the Books in Queensland.
Following the Darwin revelations the Global Warming Scam now comes to my home state with a fine first blog by local Ken Stewart who has been investigating temperature records of two stations close to where he lives at Mackay. By classifying a research station as a small town of 35000 NASA has been able to "correct" the record in the warming direction.
The Warmista argument now is (despite Climategate and the litany of errors uncovered since ) that the great body of evidence is solid. However the whole edifice rests on the foundation of a historical temperature record which is now being undermined by determined investigators like Ken Stewart and other bloggers.

A need for complementary protection?
21.91 A number of overseas jurisdictions including the US, Canada, the UK, and New Zealand have family violence provisions. Although these models reflect differing policy considerations in their respective countries, their approaches to evidentiary requirements—and to the respective family violence provisions as a whole—provide a useful comparison with the Australian system.
21.92 The US has a comprehensive legislative scheme for the protection of immigrant women who are victims of 'domestic violence'—the term used in the US rather than 'family violence', which is used in the Australian context.[115] This is enshrined in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) of 1994, which was 'reauthorised' in 2000 and 2005, and codified in various parts of the United States Code.[116] Although the title of the Act refers to women, protection applies to all spouses, including men.
21.93 Under US immigration law, spouses of US citizens or lawful permanent residents may apply for, and be granted conditional residence status, for a period of two years. In order to gain permanent residence, the couple must file a joint petition for removal of the conditional residency status within a 90 day period before the expiration of the two year conditional residence grant.[117] That is, the immigrant must be supported in the petition for permanent residence by his or her US spouse. In the event that: a petition is not filed; the marriage is terminated; or it is found that the marriage was not entered into in good faith, the conditional residence status of the immigrant is terminated and he or she becomes an unauthorised alien,[118] who can then be subjected to removal proceedings.[119]
21.94 Within this framework, VAWA provides two major avenues for victims of domestic violence to obtain temporary and permanent residence: removal of conditional status and cancellation of removal.
Removal of conditional status
21.95 The key protection mechanism in VAWA allows persons who are victims of domestic violence to self-petition for removal of their conditional residency status independently of their spouse.[120] A victim must be able to show that: the marriage was entered into in good faith; the abuser was a US resident or lawful permanent resident; he or she resided with the US resident or lawful permanent resident; during the marriage, either he or she, or a child, had been battered or subjected to extreme cruelty perpetrated by the US resident or lawful permanent resident; and he or she is of good character.[121] The protection extends to divorced women and widows who apply for self-petition within two years of divorce or death of the US citizen or lawful permanent resident.[122]
21.96 Although most victims of domestic violence will be able to apply for the self-petition, it is unavailable to those who are already in removal proceedings—typically, because he or she is present in the US without legal immigration status.[123] In these cases, victims of domestic violence may seek to cancel their removal from the US on this basis. Applications are made to a judge and, if successful, cancellation of removal entitles a victim to permanent residence. In order to be granted the cancellation of removal, it must be demonstrated that:
the victim has been battered or subjected to extreme cruelty by a spouse or parent who is a US citizen or lawful permanent resident, or by a US citizen or lawful permanent resident whom he or she intended to marry, but whose marriage is not legitimate because of bigamy; [124]
the victim has been physically present in the US for a continuous period of three years immediately preceding the date of the application;[125]
the victim has been a person of good moral character during such period;[126] and
the removal would result in extreme hardship to the victim, or the victim's child or parent.[127]
Evidentiary requirements
21.97 The VAWA and the United States Code contain no specific provisions in relation to evidentiary requirements to support a claim for self-petition or cancellation of removal. Rather, a victim must fill out an application form and attach all supporting documentary evidence supporting their claim. Generally, applicants are encouraged to seek assistance from an attorney when making in application. In relation to cancellation of removal status, the United States Code provides that the Attorney-General 'shall consider any credible evidence relevant to the application'.[128]
21.98 In Canada, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act 2001 (Canada) provide that Canadian citizens or permanent residents can sponsor a person who falls within the 'family class' to obtain permanent residence.[129] The 'family class' includes a sponsor's spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner.[130]
21.99 Those who fall within the 'family class' can be sponsored from abroad, and enter Canada with permanent residence status.[131] Alternatively, applications can be made onshore, where the spouse or common-law partner is cohabitating with the sponsor and is the subject of a sponsorship application.[132] If the relationship is assessed as genuine—and all other criteria are met—the person will be granted permanent residence status. There is no official waiting period comparable to Australia or the US. However, if the sponsorship is withdrawn at any time, no decision shall be made on the application,[133] and the person the subject of sponsorship may be subjected to removal proceedings.
21.100 Those who are onshore, and whose sponsorship has broken down due to family violence, can apply for permanent residence on 'Humanitarian and Compassionate' grounds,[134] whether or not the person has temporary residence status.[135] Under the Immigration Guidelines, 'Humanitarian and Compassionate' grounds refer to circumstances where 'unusual, undeserved or disproportionate hardship would be caused to the person if he or she had to leave Canada'.[136] The guidelines for officers determining applications explicitly recognise family violence:
Family members in Canada, particularly spouses, who are in abusive relationships and are not permanent residents or Canadian citizens, may feel compelled to stay in the relationship or abusive situation to remain in Canada; this could put them in a situation of hardship.
Officers should be sensitive to situations where the spouse (or other family member) of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident leaves an abusive situation and, as a result, does not have an approved sponsorship.
Officers should consider the following factors:
information indicating there was abuse such as police incident reports, charges; or
convictions, reports from shelters for abused women, medical reports;
whether there is a degree of establishment in Canada;
the hardship that would result if the applicant had to leave Canada;
the laws, customs and culture in the applicant's country of origin;
the support of relatives and friends in the applicant's home country; and
whether the applicant has a child in Canada or/and is pregnant.[137]
21.101 Family violence is one of a number of factors to be considered in an 'Humanitarian and Compassionate' application, and the existence of family violence does not give an applicant automatic right to permanent residence. Factors that must be considered when determining 'hardship' include, but are not limited to: establishment in and ties to Canada; the best interests of any child involved; health considerations; consequences of the separation of relatives; and factors in the applicant's country of origin.[138]
21.102 The Immigration Guidelines also give guidance on whether there is a significant 'degree of establishment' in Canada. These factors include the person's employment history; level of education; time spent in Canada; type of assets; family and community support; whether the applicant would face hardship if returned to his or her country; and whether the removal would have any impact on others living in Canada.[139]
21.103 As in the US, there are no specific evidentiary requirements spelled out in the guidelines or legislation. Rather, the guidelines state that the onus is on the applicant to put forth any 'Humanitarian and Compassionate' factors that he or she believe are relevant to their case, and 'to be clear in the submission as to exactly what hardship they would face'.[140]
21.104 The Immigration Guidelines also recognise that effective decision making in 'Humanitarian and Compassionate' cases involves 'striking a balance between certainty and consistency on the one hand and flexibility to deal with the specific facts of the case, on the other'.[141] As such, the guidelines specifically note that legislation, policy statements, guidelines, and manuals and handbooks may legitimately influence decision makers in their work.
21.105 Persons seeking permanent residence in the UK on the basis of a marriage or civil partnership with a UK sponsor are—in a manner similar to Australia—subjected to a two-year temporary visa period.[142] Under the Immigration Rules (UK), victims of family violence may seek 'indefinite leave to remain' in the UK if, among other things, they are able to produce evidence as required by the Secretary of State that 'the relationship was caused to permanently break down before the end of that period as a result of domestic violence'.[143]
21.106 Applicants are required to provide an application form along with supporting documents to support their claim. There are no prescriptions on the type of evidence that may be presented.
21.107 Under the Immigration Directorate Instructions (the Instructions), visa decision makers have considerable discretion in assessing whether the relationship has broken down as a result of family violence. The Instructions provide guidance on the relevant types of evidence that an applicant may present and the appropriate weight to be given to each. For example, the Instructions provide that two types of evidence should be sufficient, of themselves, to establish family violence: a relevant court conviction against the sponsor; or full details of a relevant police caution issued against the sponsor.[144]
21.108 A criminal conviction is considered indisputable evidence that family violence has occurred.[145] Where the criminal case is pending, the visa decision maker is to consider evidence from both parties, and make a separate assessment of the application.[146] In relation to police cautions, the visa decision-maker is directed to call the relevant police station to confirm whether a caution has been issued. If confirmed, it may provide evidence that the applicant has suffered family violence.[147]
21.109 In the absence of the above forms of evidence, applicants may provide as many pieces of evidence as possible to support their case. The Instructions set out a non-exhaustive list providing that such evidence can include:
a medical report from a hospital doctor confirming that the applicant has injuries consistent with being a victim of domestic violence;
a letter from a GMC registered family practitioner who has examined the applicant and is satisfied that the applicant has injuries consistent with being a victim of domestic violence;
an undertaking given to a court that the perpetrator of the violence will not approach the applicant who is the victim of violence;
a police report confirming attendance at an incident resulting from domestic violence;
a letter from a social services department confirming its involvement in connection with domestic violence;
a letter of support or a report from a domestic violence support organisation.[148]
21.110 While the Instructions are comprehensive, they are not determinative since 'any evidence of domestic violence should be considered by caseworkers when making a decision'.[149] The Instructions recognise that
caseworkers might find they are required to make the kind of judgment normally undertaken by other professional bodies, they may also find that they have to consider the validity and authenticity of documents provided by the applicant. In view of this, caseworkers should seek advice from their senior case worker and/or other relevant bodies when assessing an application.[150]
21.111 The New Zealand model, in many respects, mirrors that of Australia. Under the Migration Act 2009 (NZ), the Minister for Immigration may certify immigration instructions in relation to the issuance of visas, including their criteria, rules and general objectives.[151]
21.112 In order to be granted a partner visa, applicants must satisfy the visa decision maker that they have been living for 12 months in a 'partnership' that is genuine and stable with a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident.[152] A 'partnership' is defined to cover a marriage, civil union or de facto relationship (whether opposite or same-sex).[153]
21.113 Under the immigration instructions titled 'Residence policy for victims of domestic violence', victims of family violence can apply for permanent residence and have their claims assessed by a departmental officer.[154] Domestic violence applications are given priority processing, and are determined by immigration officers who have received specialist training in applying the policy.[155]
21.114 Under the immigration instructions, evidence of domestic violence means:
a final protection order against the New Zealand citizen or resident partner or intended partner under the Domestic Violence Act 1995 (NZ); or
a relevant New Zealand conviction of the New Zealand citizen or resident partner or intended partner of a domestic violence offence against the principal applicant or a dependent child of the principal applicant; or
a complaint of domestic violence against the principal applicant or a dependent child investigated by the New Zealand police, where New Zealand police are satisfied that domestic violence has occurred; or
a statutory declaration from the applicant stating that domestic violence has occurred and declarations completed by persons competent to make statutory declarations that domestic violence occurred.[156]
21.115 The instructions list persons who are competent to make a statutory declaration that domestic violence has occurred to include:
social workers who are:
registered with the Social Workers Registration Board; or
full members of the Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers; or
employed under the State Sector Act 1988 (NZ);
doctors registered with the New Zealand Medical Council;
nurses registered with the Nursing Council of New Zealand;
psychologists registered with the New Zealand Psychologists Board;
counsellors who are members of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors; and
experienced staff members of Child Youth and Family approved women's refuges who are nominated by:
the National Collective of Independent Women's Refuges; or
the Shakti Community Council.[157]
21.116 Applicants must supply statutory declarations from people acting in their professional capacity from two of the groups listed above. The two people must not be professionally related—for example they cannot be two people from the same medical practice.[158] Further, the instructions provide that immigration officers can verify that statutory declarations have been made by the competent persons by contacting the relevant professional bodies.[159]
[115] The differences in terminology are discussed in Ch 20.
[116] The Act was passed as part of Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 Pub L No 103-332, 108 Stat 1796, 1902 (US) and codified in various sections of United States Code.

[121] Ibid § 1154(a)(1)(A). The phrase 'battered by or has been the subject of extreme cruelty' includes, but is not limited to, being a victim of any act or threatened act of violence, including any forceful detention, which results or threatens to result in physical or mental injury. Psychological or sexual abuse or exploitation, including rape, molestation, incest (if the victim is a minor) or forced prostitution shall be considered acts of violence. VAWA of 1994 required a victim to show that removal would result in 'extreme hardship'. However, this requirement was removed when the Act was reauthorised in 2000.
[122]Ibid § 1154(a)(1)(A)(iii)(II)(aa)(CC)(aaa), (bbb). In the case of divorce, the immigrant woman must demonstrate a connection between the legal termination of the marriage and battering or extreme cruelty by the US citizen spouse or lawful permanent resident. If the abuser to whom the immigrant is, or was married to, has lost his permanent residence due to a conviction related to an incident of domestic violence, the immigrant woman can self petition, provided the abuser lost his residence status within two years of the date of the filing.
[123] For example, because the woman entered the US without permission, or overstayed her non-immigrant visa, or for other reasons, such as violating her visa conditions. Prior to April 1, 1997, removal proceedings were referred to as 'deportation proceedings'.

However, the alien demonstrates a connection between the absence and the battering or extreme cruelty perpetrated by the US citizen or lawful permanent resident, such absences do not count towards the 90 or 180 day limit'.

The previous STIP included funds for widening Highway 160 north of South Tryon Street in 2022 ($15,650,000) and 2023 ($15,650,000). The new STIP includes $31,300,000 for construction in 2022, which suggests the plan is to complete construction in one year rather than two.
The new plan also includes widening of Highway 160 south of South Tryon Street in 2022 as well as improvements to the Highway 160/Hamilton Road intersection, as described in the updated story below.
This bridge was built in 1975 and is considered structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. The STIP calls for $120,000 for right-of-way acquisition in 2020 and $1,200,000 for construction in 2021.
This project will convert the existing four-way stop intersection into a single lane roundabout. Improvements will include crosswalks, new sidewalks, planting strips, pedestrian refuge islands, landscaping, street lighting, and bike lanes.
The existing intersection creates vehicle delays and congestion. It is also very hard for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross the street. The proposed roundabout will reduce congestion and improve pedestrian and bicyclist crossings. The roundabout will accommodate existing and future vehicular traffic projections and make it easier for bicyclist and pedestrians to cross all legs.
The STIP calls for $550,000 for right-of-way acquisition, which is currently underway, and $1,733,000 for construction beginning in fall 2017. The intersection of Shopton and Beam Road will close for approximately four to five weeks, and traffic will be detoured.
For more information see Beam Road roundabout at Shopton Road on the City of Charlotte's web site.
This bridge was built in 1986. The STIP calls for $270,000 for right-of-way acquisition in 2021 and $2,700,000 for construction in 2022.
The STIP also calls for widening I-77 to ten lanes by constructing managed lanes (toll lanes) from I-485 (Exit 1) to I-277/NC 16 (Brookshire Freeway) (exit 11). Right-of-way and utility relocation would begin in 2024 and construction would begin in 2027. Since this project is scheduled to begin after the first five years of the STIP, funding is not considered committed and is subject to reprioritizing.
The following story was posted on January 8 and has been updated to show construction for the widening of Highway 160 in 2022 rather than 2022 and 2023.
(January 8, 2017) The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) released its Draft 2018-2027 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) last week, and it includes the widening of Highway 160 (Steele Creek Road) south of South Tryon Street to the South Carolina state line. NCDOT plans to issue the final approved STIP in June 2017.
More information on the Draft 2018-2027 STIP is available on the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO) web site.
The latest plan calls for right-of-way purchase and utility relocation in 2020 and construction beginning in 2022. This is the same schedule as the widening of Highway 160 north of South Tryon Street approved two years ago. This means that construction on the entire length of Highway 160 from Shopton Road West to the South Carolina state line is scheduled to begin as one project in 2022.
The section south of South Tryon Street was not listed at all in the previous, 2016-2025 STIP, so this is a significant improvement in the priority for Steele Creek Road.
Projects scheduled to begin in the first five years of the STIP are considered committed, and not subject to future reprioritization. Thus all Highway 160 projects will be committed once the final STIP is approved later this year.
Widen intersection of NC Highway 160 (Steele Creek Road) and Hamilton Road for additional capacity consistent with the future Steele Creek Road cross section.
Some turn lanes have been added at this intersection by a developer, and Lennar Homes will be required to make additional improvements to accommodate additional traffic expected to be generated by its new residential development under construction near the intersection of Hamilton Road and Smith Road.
This 4.2 mile widening project extends along Steele Creek Road from Shopton Road West to South Tryon Street (NC Highway 49) in Charlotte. Improvements include widening the existing roadway from two (2) lanes to four (4) lanes with a grassy median and installing bike lanes and sidewalks.
This 2.2 mile widening project extends along Steele Creek Road from South Tryon Street (NC Highway 49) to the South Carolina state line. Improvements include widening the existing roadway from two (2) lanes to four (4) lanes with a grassy median and installing bike lanes and sidewalks. Developers have provided improvements adjacent to the RiverGate shopping complex.
According to the Lake Wylie Pilot, Highway 160 is South Carolina will be widened from two lanes to five from Gold Hill Road to the North Carolina state line. "Right-of-way acquisition should begin in 2016 for the $8.8 million project. The construction at S.C. 160 and Gold Hill Road is being done by SCDOT. Construction on the rest should come in 2017."
NCDOT released its draft 2018-2027 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) on January 4, 2017. This document summarizes initial projects that have been identified for funding and implementation over the next ten years. Its release is just the beginning of a continued effort over the next several months by CRTPO staff and TCC members to review the projects and assess the information for accuracy.
This step also triggers a variety of upcoming public involvement efforts and financial analysis at the local and state levels. NCDOT's Board of Transportation will adopt the STIP in June, and CRTPO is charged with adopting their local version, known as the 2018-2027 TIP by August 2017. The TIP identifies the region's allocation of transportation resources among the various capital and operating needs of the area, based on a clear set of short-term transportation priorities. It also identifies the strategies that CRTPO and NCDOT plan to undertake to implement the projects within this ten-year timeframe.
To view the draft 2018-2027 STIP, visit http://crtpo.org/plans-programs/transporation-improvement-program.
Robert Cook, Secretary of CRTPO, will be one of the speakers at the 2017 Steele Creek Residents Association annual meeting and will give an update on the prioritization of Highway 160 projects. Stuart Basham, NCDOT Division 10 Planning Engineer, and other NCDOT staff also will be at the meeting to answer questions about highway improvement and maintenance projects.
The Steele Creek Residents Association meeting will be on Thursday, February 23 beginning at 6:30 PM at Christ the King Church (13501 South Tryon Street).


In the age of 60-hour work weeks, entrepreneurial side hustles, and investing time in hobbies while prioritizing family and friends, stress can take its toll. And, let's face it, no matter how productive we believe we are by cutting back on sleep and putting in extra work every night and weekend, we are genuinely overwhelming ourselves, becoming cranky, and actually, being less productive. That is why taking a break here and there to focus on self-care is so important. Thankfully, Durham is a haven full of places to take a step back and de-stress. Here are five ways to de-stress in downtown Durham.
Downtown Durham is sprinkled with quaint boutiques and local shops that breathe authenticity. Whether you are looking to buy or simply window-shop, the positive energy of the shops and friendly staff members will cause you to lose track of time as you stroll. One shop whose radiant vibes and merchandise always shifts me into a positive mood is Everyday Magic. From crystals to sage to luxurious candles, this shop will help you take the deep breath you need. Books on self-care and channeling your inner power are on display, and you can select a tea that will comfort you, or energize you, depending on your mood. The shop also puts on a variety of events including Henna by Nadia and an adoption event with Hope Animal Rescue. A piece of magic can truly be found here.
Additional shops in the area with jaw-dropping pieces include Vert & Vogue, Magpie Boutique, and Fifi's Fine Retail Apparel. The picturesque journey to these locations alone will move you into a place of serenity.
When your back is in knots from tensing up at your desk or your nails are slightly fringed from nervously nibbling, it is time to treat yourself. The Retreat at Brightleaf is conveniently located in the Brightleaf District of downtown Durham, and their massage services will send ripples through your spine. The Retreat offers many types of massages, facials, waxing, and peels for a reasonable price, and their experienced staff will help the tension that has been building for months to dissipate. Another perk about The Retreat? Rose's Noodles, Dumplings, & Sweets is right around the corner. How does a Chocolate Sea Salt Tart sound after a 60-minute Swedish/Relaxation massage?
Taking a walk to sightsee around the city instills a sense of wonder in tourists and Duramites alike due to the city's endless amount of brick and rich history. The height of the smoke-stacks, chapels, and the Lucky Strike water tower always have you looking up in awe. Touring the city as a way to disconnect is valuable because it can be done your way in your own time. You can roam at your leisure or pick up the pace to get your heart rate up and still catch all the views Durham has to offer. Two locations to explore include American Tobacco Campus and Duke University. As you venture through American Tobacco Campus make sure to pass by the Full Frame Theater, Lucky Strike tower, Durham Bulls Stadium, and the tile mural created by students from Durham School of the Arts. The tile wall is a great spot for a photo op. Duke University's main campus is a short drive from the center of downtown, and the trails around and through campus will leave you rejuvenated. As you tour the campus, stop inside the Perkins Library to peek at the interior design.
Simply the smell of coffee or tea can be a mood booster and transcend us to a place of comfort or familiarity. The local coffee scene in Durham has a knack for making people feel at home. Kaffeinate, a resident of N. Duke Street, has succeeded in doing just that. With black and white tile flooring that doubles as an Instagram backdrop and a team dedicated to providing the best service (and latte art), you will want to spend hours of your Sunday afternoon seated at the window. One of my favorite aspects about coffee shops is you can bring a collection of activities with you including a novel, notebook, sketchbook, puzzle, coloring book, etc. There is no better place to practice your moonscapes than next a Matcha Latte.
Craft beer and lengthy wine menus can be found by turning a corner in the heart of Bull City. If you are lucky, or do your research, you will stumble upon an establishment with live music and patio seating. West End Wine Bar in West Village features jazz every Sunday from 4-6PM and offers a wine list that will tempt you to taste more than one. A crisp glass of Chardonnay in 70-degree weather while listening to the jazz guitar will help the workweek anxiety melt away.
Pour Taproom has also discovered a way revitalize the overworked by mixing self-serve taps and board games. Grab a wristband and have a blast sampling a variety of ciders, beers, and wines lined along the wall. The city's local selections from Bull City Cider Works "Orange You A Hippie" to Fullsteam's "Cosmonaut" will not disappoint. Don't forget to bring a few friends to battle it out with while playing Trouble, Connect 4, or Battleship.

After graduating from the College of Charleston in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts in English, I moved to Bull City to accept a position as a Director of First Impressions at an architecture firm. A year and a half later, I am amazed by the growth of the city and the number of places I still need to explore. My spare time consists of enjoying the local restaurant scene, taking and editing photographs, roaming around Target, and cuddling my two kittens!

WESTERN AUSTRALIA:
Marriage devalued in WA 'reforms'
by News Weekly
News Weekly, October 6, 2001
Attorney General Jim McGinty has given ringing endorsement to the key recommendations of the Ministerial Committee on Lesbian and Gay Law Reform, whose report, along with McGinty's supportive Ministerial Statement, was tabled in State Parliament on August 2.
The Committee, McGinty said, "consisted mainly of gays and lesbians because I believe that people who have experienced discrimination are best placed to identify where our laws are deficient".
The Committee refused to accept submissions from anyone who did not share their agenda.
Despite earlier suggestions from the Government, there will be no formal period of public comment on the report before the Government proceeds to draft and introduce legislation to implement its recommendations.
With the ALP and Greens in control of Parliament the homosexual lobby has abandoned the old salami tactics - one slice at a time - and made a bid for a gigantic land grab.
If Lionel Murphy's 1974 Family Law Act dealt a body blow to marriage in Australia with its introduction of unilateral, no-fault divorce, the McGinty "reforms" represent the coup de grace to marriage in Western Australian law, as it will have no more status than that of two men in a short-term relationship of sexual convenience.
McGinty has endorsed a significant assault on free speech by supporting the enactment of anti-vilification legislation based on the New South Wales model. This prohibits any public act which is held to "incite hatred towards, serious contempt for, or severe ridicule of, a person or group of persons on the ground of the homosexuality of the person or members of the group". Such legislation has a depressing effect on public debate.
McGinty supports amending the Human Reproductive Technology Act 1991 to allow lesbian couples access to IVF, when one of the women is medically infertile, and to allow all lesbians, infertile or otherwise, access to artificial insemination. He also proposes changing the Adoption Act 1994 so that male homosexual and lesbian partners can adopt children - either as a couple adopting an unrelated child or one partner adopting the natural child of the other or a child born by artificial insemination or IVF.
No consideration seems to have been given to the fundamental right of a child to have both a mother and a father.
When male homosexual behaviour was legalised in 1989, the age of consent was set at 21. The Committee has recommended, and McGinty has accepted, that the age of consent for male homosexual acts, including sodomy, be dropped to 16.
The Australian Family Association has pointed out that the Criminal Code provides a "reasonable belief defence" to a charge of sexual offences against a child of or over 13 and under 16.
This defence means that if the accused can prove that he believed on reasonable grounds that the child was over the age of 16 years he must be found not guilty. This defence would apply to homosexual acts allowing men to escape conviction for sexual offences against 13-year-old boys.
The Ministerial Committee responded to this concern by recommending that the "reasonable belief" defence only apply if the age difference between the accused and the victim is no more than five years!
With revolutionary fervour the Ministerial Committee has recommended - and the Gallop Labor Government has agreed - to amend every single piece of Western Australian legislation that mentions marriage.
Over 120 Acts or Regulations are to be changed. The net effect of this is to downgrade the status of marriage to be just a private variation of the legally recognised and privileged status of "relationship".
This definition of de facto relationships, including homosexual couples, will be incorporated in further legislation conferring benefits on de facto and homosexual partners including pensions and superannuation; rights as "senior next of kin" in relation to organ transplants, autopsies, cremation, etc. and the right to challenge a will.
In each case, it seems likely that the rights of de facto and homosexual partners will supersede the existing rights of spouses.
Marriage has enjoyed a unique social and legal status in Western Australia, as in every other society in recorded history, precisely because it is a publicly declared, lifelong, exclusive relationship between a man and a woman oriented to bearing and raising children.
To give de facto and homosexual relationships equal status to marriage is unjust, incoherent and unworkable.

SHOW REVIEW 2015
MY HOLLOW - On Borrowed Time
CD release party
Words and photos: Ingrid Newton
@ The Rockpile
Toronto, ON Camada
CD artwork: Jennifer White
On Borrowed Time release date: July 31, 2015
We literally traversed from one end of Toronto to the other. Our destination: The Rockpile. What a cool venue name, eh? It's been a music staple in Toronto for years!
Red and white helium filled balloons decorated the venue entrance, and it's interior. The Rockpile was partly filled, with many familiar faces from the local music scene. We set up the Metal Master Kingdom banner, and laid out some buttons, stickers, and cards between the merch tables of My Hollow and Desolate Rage. Thanks to the bands for giving us a spot at the venue!
Shortly after our arrival the band Christ Complex took the stage. I am not familiar with this band, but they got the crowd warmed up for the nights feature band, My Hollow.
Desolate Rage truly did just that. They raged our asses off! As many bands do, Jorge Sousa of Desolate Rage invited Graham Gaudreault from My Hollow onstage to share vocal duties for the tune ""Mentally Deranged". The result translated into a very energetic vocal duo. These guys have great chemsitry, and should do more shows together.
To top the night off and the reason for attending the event was to celebrate the new CD titled On Borrowed Time from My Hollow. There were many cast members from the recently released video to support the tune "On Borrowed Time" in attendance. I had the opportunity to catch up with Mila Angelova who played a role in the video. She truly has an amazing voice, and I love her work in the band Tigerstar from couple of years ago. The crowd waited with great aniticpation for My Hollow to wreak havoc on The Rockpile. The stage was dark and the prerecorded intro piece summoned all to the front of the stage. With a crushing wave of energy, and sound, My Hollow filled the venue with their effervescent presence. The lads never disappoint on stage. You know a band is crushing it when the pit starts up. Last night proved to be a night full of appreciation for a band that truly loves their fans. They gave us so much ear splitting, and soul satisfying metal that we in turn reciprocated with shouts of more, and with many horns flying high. My absolute fave song "Cold Dark Days" had me frenzied at the front, and proved to a crowd pleaser too. With the end of night came a feeling of contentment. We left with smiles on our faces, many kisses
on our cheeks, and so many hugs from the tight knit group of band members, and metalheads alike. Being at a My Hollow show is like a family get together, filled with shenanigans, and lots of camaraderie.
As a final note, I want to thank the staff of The Rockpile for their courteous and helpful service.

Q: Creating an Ektron Smart Form Definition via the API I've been trying to create a smart form definition from another application. The app successfully creates the smart form, but I'm unable to get the FieldList, DisplayXSLT or Schema fields to populate.
This leaves me with a blank smart form definition (less that ideal).
Here's the code I have to perform the action. Any ideas?
// form is a simple POCO with values copied from an existing SmartForm Definition
var config = new SmartFormConfigurationData();

config.SmartformTitle = form.Name;
config.SmartformDescription = form.Description;
config.XmlSchema = form.Schema;
config.PackageDisplayXslt = form.Xslt;
config.FieldList = form.FieldList;
config.Type = EkEnumeration.XmlConfigType.Content;

var api = new SmartFormConfigurationManager(ApiAccessMode.Admin);
api.RequestInformation.ServicesPath = this.EktronServiceHost;
api.RequestInformation.AuthenticationToken = this.GetAdminAuthToken();

api.Add(config);

A: Update:
I heard back from Ektron Support on this issue.  It's not so much a "bug" per-se... It's more a case of this API class looking very similar to the ContentManager but not behaving like it.  I expected that since it looked so similar to ContentManager and many of the other classes, I would be able to call Add() and it would just magically work.  It turns out the solution is a little more complicated.
Adding a smartform is a two-step process:  first Add(), then Update().
The Add method doesn't set all of the fields and in fact passes in NULL for a few of the parameters on the stored procedure that creates the entry in xml_collection_tbl.
The real fun comes in step 2.  Basically, you start with the SmartForm's HTML -- the stuff you see when you're in the "Data Design" view for editing the smart form definition and you click that <> button ("HTML") at the bottom of the editor.  You run that through a whole bunch of XSLTs that are burried in the WorkArea folder to construct the missing fields, and then you call update.  Here's the code that worked for me:
var sfManager = new SmartFormConfigurationManager();
var data = sfManager.GetItem(12);

if (data == null) return;

var sfcData = new SmartFormConfigurationData();
sfcData.Type = EkEnumeration.XmlConfigType.Content;
sfcData.SmartformTitle = "SmartForm12 copy";
sfcData.SmartformDescription = "SmartForm12 copy";
sfcData.XmlSchema = "";
sfcData.PackageDisplayXslt = data.PackageDisplayXslt;
sfcData.FieldList = data.FieldList;

sfcData = sfManager.Add(sfcData);

Response.Write("SmartForm added with id: " + sfcData.Id);

var design = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath("~/NewsArticleSmartForm.html"));
var contentApi = new ContentAPI();

var schema = contentApi.TransformXsltPackage(design, Server.MapPath("~/WorkArea/ContentDesigner/DesignToSchema.xslt"), true);
var fieldList = contentApi.TransformXsltPackage(design, Server.MapPath("~/WorkArea/ContentDesigner/DesignToFieldList.xslt"), true);
var viewEntryXslt = contentApi.TransformXsltPackage(design, Server.MapPath("~/WorkArea/ContentDesigner/DesignToEntryXSLT.xslt"), true);

var xsltArgs = new XsltArgumentList();
xsltArgs.AddParam("srcPath", "", "/WorkArea/ContentDesigner/");

var viewXsltSource = string.Concat("<root>", design, "<ektdesignpackage_list>", fieldList, "</ektdesignpackage_list></root>");
var viewXslt = contentApi.XSLTransform(viewXsltSource, Server.MapPath("~/WorkArea/ContentDesigner/DesignToViewXSLT.xslt"), true, false, xsltArgs, false);
var initialDocument = contentApi.TransformXsltPackage(design, Server.MapPath("~/WorkArea/ContentDesigner/PresentationToData.xslt"), true);

var sbPackage = new StringBuilder("<ektdesignpackage_forms><ektdesignpackage_form><ektdesignpackage_designs><ektdesignpackage_design>");
sbPackage.Append(design);
sbPackage.Append("</ektdesignpackage_design></ektdesignpackage_designs><ektdesignpackage_schemas><ektdesignpackage_schema>");
sbPackage.Append(schema);
sbPackage.Append("</ektdesignpackage_schema></ektdesignpackage_schemas><ektdesignpackage_lists><ektdesignpackage_list>");
sbPackage.Append(fieldList);
sbPackage.Append("</ektdesignpackage_list></ektdesignpackage_lists><ektdesignpackage_views><ektdesignpackage_view>");
sbPackage.Append(viewEntryXslt);
sbPackage.Append("</ektdesignpackage_view><ektdesignpackage_view>");
sbPackage.Append(viewXslt);
sbPackage.Append("</ektdesignpackage_view></ektdesignpackage_views><ektdesignpackage_initialDocuments><ektdesignpackage_initialDocument>");
sbPackage.Append(initialDocument);
sbPackage.Append("</ektdesignpackage_initialDocument></ektdesignpackage_initialDocuments></ektdesignpackage_form></ektdesignpackage_forms>");

sfcData.PackageXslt = sbPackage.ToString();
sfcData.FieldList = fieldList;

var baseFilename = "SmartForm" + sfcData.Id;
var schemaFilename = "/" + baseFilename + "Schema.xsd";
var xsltFilename = "/" + baseFilename + "Xslt.xslt";

sfcData.XmlSchema = schemaFilename;  // The file will be prefixed with /XmlFiles

var unPackDisplayXslt = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><xsl:stylesheet version=\"1.0\" xmlns:xsl=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform\"><xsl:output method=\"xml\" version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" indent=\"yes\"/><xsl:template match=\"/\"><xsl:choose><xsl:when test=\"ektdesignpackage_forms/ektdesignpackage_form[1]/ektdesignpackage_views/ektdesignpackage_view[2]\"><xsl:copy-of select=\"ektdesignpackage_forms/ektdesignpackage_form[1]/ektdesignpackage_views/ektdesignpackage_view[2]/node()\"/></xsl:when><xsl:otherwise><xsl:copy-of select=\"ektdesignpackage_forms/ektdesignpackage_form[1]/ektdesignpackage_views/ektdesignpackage_view[1]/node()\"/></xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>";

var displayXslt = contentApi.TransformXsltPackage(sbPackage.ToString(), unPackDisplayXslt, false);
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(Server.MapPath("~/XmlFiles" + xsltFilename), displayXslt);

sfcData.Xslt1 = xsltFilename;  // The file will be prefixed with /XmlFiles
sfcData.DefaultXslt = 1;

sfManager.Update(sfcData);

I extracted the HTML for my existing smart form and saved in the root of my site as NewsArticleSmartForm.html.  Here's what my file looked like:

Author: <input type="text" name="Author" id="Author" ektdesignns_caption="Author" ektdesignns_name="Author" title="Author" ektdesignns_indexed="false" ektdesignns_nodetype="element" size="24" class="design_textfield" />

Article Summary: <textarea name="Summary" id="Summary" ektdesignns_caption="Summary" ektdesignns_name="Summary" title="Summary" ektdesignns_indexed="false" ektdesignns_nodetype="element" cols="40" rows="3" class="design_textfield"></textarea>

Article Body:

<ektdesignns_richarea id="Body" name="Body" ektdesignns_caption="Body" ektdesignns_name="Body" title="Body" ektdesignns_indexed="false" ektdesignns_nodetype="element"> </ektdesignns_richarea>

Good luck!
Original Answer:
Creating a copy of a SmartForm configuration should be fairly straight-forward.  The SmartFormConfigurationData object has a Clone() method on it which makes it really easy to create a copy of an existing SmartForm.  I say "should be" because it doesn't work.
I had an answer all typed out ready to post; I tried some code and it appeared to work.  The new smartform was listed in the workarea, but when I clicked on that new smartform to view its details, I realized something was wrong.
I tried the following code:
var sfManager = new SmartFormConfigurationManager();
var config = sfManager.GetItem(7);

if (config == null) return;

var newSmartForm = config.Clone();
newSmartForm.SmartformTitle += " copy";

sfManager.Add(newSmartForm);

Here are the details from the original smartform:

And here's what the new smartform looked like -- the one I created with the frameworkAPI:

I did find one API method that successfully created a copy of an existing smartform:
var sfApi = new Ektron.Cms.ContentAPI();
var newId = sfApi.ReplicateXmlConfiguration(7, "copied sf title");

The problem with that method is that the smartform must exist on your system and you can only change the title.  So, I went digging into the database to see what was happening.  It turns out that after calling this ReplicateXmlConfiguration() method, the two database records are identical (except for the expected LastUpdated type of fields).

After calling the frameworkAPI's Update() method (same holds true when calling Add()), the "updated" record is clearly different.

I think we've got a genuine bug here.  This happens both in v8.7 sp2 and v9.0 sp1.  I've opened a case with Ektron support, and I'll update my answer as I hear back.  They have always been very responsive when I've dealt with them in the past.
