Diálogo interviewed U.S. Air Force Colonel Michael Ingersoll, secretary general of the System of Cooperation Among the American Air Forces (SICOFAA, in Spanish), during a visit to the institution's headquarters at Davis-Monthan Air Base in Tucson, Arizona.
Diálogo: What is SICOFAA's operational focus?
U.S. Air Force Colonel Michael Ingersoll, secretary general of the System of Cooperation Among the American Air Forces: The operational focus of SICOFAA is to respond to events that require humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. We are involved in a system of cooperation among 21 countries, and we have access to the Information Technology and Telecommunications System of the American Air Forces [SITFAA, in Spanish], as well as the Virtual Cooperation Platform known as SAVICO.
Diálogo: What is SICOFAA's priority at the moment?
Col. Ingersoll: SICOFAA member nations are preparing for live exercise Cooperation VII [Cooperación VII], to be held in Rionegro, Colombia, in August 2020. The exercise Angel of the Andes [Ángel de los Andes] will also be conducted as part of this live exercise.
Diálogo: What is the objective in organizing these exercises?
Col. Ingersoll: Real-time exercises help us check how prepared we are to face an emergency, especially in a region like ours, which is prone to frequent natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, etc. The goal of SICOFAA is to organize live events to help standardize procedures in the Manual of Combined Air Operations, created to assist emergency situations, which contributes to improving interoperability, creating a common operational language, and implementing command and control operations. Exercises help reduce operational risks when using the resources of the different participating air forces. The most important benefit of these exercises is putting into practice the different tools SICOFAA has for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
Diálogo: Can you tell us about a particular recent case when SICOFAA was activated?
Col. Ingersoll: Between August 21 and September 7 [2019], we activated the SAVICO platform to support the coordination of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief during the wildfires that occurred in the Amazon and that affected Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Through SAVICO, 14 member nations shared information about the requirements of the countries affected by the wildfires. The result of this information contributed both to situational awareness and to facilitating coordination for the requested assistance, including equipment and resources.
Diálogo: Does SICOFAA need diplomatic authorization to be activated?
Col. Ingersoll: SICOFAA members can coordinate in advance the humanitarian assistance that the country that declared an emergency will require, but we require diplomatic approval to send equipment or personnel.
Diálogo: Does SICOFAA collaborate with non-member nations?
Col. Ingersoll: Yes. Some countries in the region are not part of the organization, but we assist them because they are neighboring countries. For example, we helped the Bahamas after the devastation of hurricane Dorian. On that occasion, SICOFAA provided coordination and established the flow of information between the governments of the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic, which allowed resources to be quickly deployed to the affected island.
Diálogo: Has SICOFAA's success expanded to other regions outside the Western Hemisphere?
Col. Ingersoll: Yes. Africa has asked us to share our experience and lessons learned. Three years ago, the Germany-based U.S. Air Forces Africa asked to know about our air cooperation system in detail. Since then, we have worked as a team, and from this collaboration the Association of African Air Forces [AAAF] arose. We helped them design their strategic plan, and we're currently advising them for their first virtual humanitarian assistance and disaster relief exercise. The Pacific Air Chiefs Symposium also invited us to participate in its conferences.
Diálogo: Do you think the natural disasters that have occurred in recent years have sparked an interest from other countries in belonging to SICOFAA?
Col. Ingersoll: Yes. Costa Rica and Belize are SICOFAA observers, and we expect to make the corresponding coordination in the future to see the viability of their full participation in the system. Some Caribbean countries are also interested in getting involved in the organization, as is the case of the Bahamas with whom we are already in contact.

I shuffled through photos of dad in various stages of active living, some eliciting vivid memories of the rugged, intellectual outdoorsman I once knew. Instead of Disney World, I had wilderness camping trips; in place of storybooks, were works by Aristotle and Thoreau. He had a mind rich in color and a personality as big as they come.
"But then he slowed down," mom said. "He mostly stayed inside." By the early 2000s, pain and illness took over his body. An old work injury sustained nearly two decades ago led to spinal stenosis, a painful narrowing of the spine. Years of smoking led to COPD, a progressive lung disease that made him gasp for air as he walked room to room. Mom, then a full-time paralegal and mother of two teenagers, became "caregiver" to her husband -- a role she both embraced and feared. She bathed him, got him dressed, trimmed his beard, and often picked up his prescriptions in the evening. She did all of this while still remaining an active mom in her children's lives.
I imagine how both of my parents would have benefited if they sought help for my dad's in-home care. I picture my father playing chess with a like-minded health care aide, as he waxes poetic about his favorite philosophers. I imagine my mom at ease, knowing the love of her life is physically safe and thriving emotionally and mentally while she's at work.
Through personal experience, I've learned how companionship can be a powerful antidote to loneliness. Even when my dad was physically immobile, his intellect and interests remained intact. His body may have slowed down, but his mind never stopped exploring. Fortunately, we've come a long way in understanding the true value of addressing the 360-degree health of our seniors. Technology, especially mobile technology, is a powerful medium for fostering connectedness between loved one, caregiver, and care coordinator. "Transparency" and "trust" should no longer be rare qualities we'd hope to find in in-home healthcare; they are the norm.
The future of senior healthcare is finally here and it is home.

2022 Jeep Wagoneer Problems and Top Complaints
Electrical system, steering, and powertrain issues are among the top complaints received by the NHTSA from vehicle owners
By Brian Jones | Updated on January 9th, 2023
The 2022 Jeep Wagoneer is a newer SUV model that is reminiscent of days gone by. In fact, the automaker claims it is "the return of an American icon." However, it doesn't seem like the systems and equipment have kept up with the times since customers are complaining about electrical system issues, defective steering, and a malfunctioning powertrain.

NHTSA Complaints for the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer
Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking
Forward Collision Avoidance: Warnings
Most Common Problems with the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer
Consumers logged 22 complaints with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) between January 6 and late September 2022. Of these, nearly half (10) were about the electrical system. The rest were spread across another 8 components and systems, with steering issues coming second with 5 related complaints.
Forward collision avoidance, the powertrain, and the service brakes were all mentioned in 4 individual complaints. However, these complaints all included more than one component or system, making it difficult to pinpoint the problem accurately.
While there is only 1 complaint about seats it's worth mentioning because a child was injured in an incident. The problem a New York owner highlights is that the button that folds the second row seat is easily accessible to a child. After multiple incidents where the child pressed the button and "came flying forward with tremendous force," he put tape on the button to stop it being pressed.
Electrical System Problems
Electrical system complaints about the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer are very varied. They include wiring shorting out, major issues with the forward collision avoidance system, faulty error messages, and malfunctioning keyfobs. Some owners have had seat heaters stop working, vehicles losing power, and batteries dying.
An owner from Indiana experienced tire pressure warnings, but after testing the pressure found it was fine. Then, half an hour later all the lights on the dash lit up and the Jeep stopped in an intersection, almost causing multiple accidents. It was eventually towed away by the police, but it took the dealership a month to determine it had a dead battery. "But it died while the vehicle was driving and (the) alternator should have been charging it."
A Montana owner states that their 2022 Jeep Wagoneer was taken to the dealership five times for electrical/battery issues. The owner contacted the manufacturer and states that there is "an open case regarding these serious safety issues. The local police are (also) aware of this issue as this is an ongoing issue with the vehicle and our safety was at risk."
An owner from Virginia complains that "the rear air system never worked." The dealership said that a wiring short caused the motor to blow.
"So now the dealership has the car and can't tell me when I will receive my car back. $84000 car that has electrical issues from day one seems like a Lemon and I should be able to get my money back along with my trade-in 2020 Jeep Wrangler. I have owned 4 previous Jeeps and (have) never had any issues."
Steering Problems
If you can't steer your vehicle, you have a major problem. So far, 5 owners of 2022 Jeep Wagoneers have voiced their concerns to the NHTSA. Typical complaints say that the power steering "went dead" or "quit working."
An issue described by an owner from North Dakota states that the vehicle was "hard to turn and the back wheels were locked out and not turning." The Wagoneer was only 2.5 months old, and had to be towed to the dealership.
The owner was told that was "a common issue" that required a system update, and a "rear diff fluid drain and replace." The dealership also stated they would be "doing a cam sensor replacement" that was also a known issue.
"The wheels locking out and not working with kids in the car is super scary. And if it's a known issue they need to be doing a recall before someone gets into a serious accident."
Another complaint, this time from Colorado, involves steering as well as brakes and forward collision avoidance says that when pulling out of the driveway, the driver was unable to turn the steering wheel which was completely locked. "The alert started going off to service the lane assistance. I couldn't move the tires at all. I turned the car off and re-started it multiple times to try to get it to unlock. After about 5 times it unlocked but still said to service the lance assistance."
Two weeks later there were brake system issues and the steering wheel locked. "I had two children in the car. We feared for our lives. Once pulled over the car was kicked into 4wd low on top of all the other things." The owner managed to drive the Jeep to a dealership, but wasn't told exactly what happened.
Problems with the Powertrain
The powertrain is another vital system that is causing trouble on the road. With the defects, customers are starting to wonder what all of the hype is about.
Another NHTSA complaint, from an owner in Illinois says, "At around 800 miles several warning lights turned on regarding servicing (of the) 4WD system and the vehicle became stuck in 4LO. The rear differential and transfer case were shot already." The owner was told by the dealer that the cause was a control module, but they had no update or fix for the module yet. He wasn't able to drive the vehicle without the risk of further damage before it was repaired. "Going on 3 weeks without (the) brand new vehicle."
An owner from Pennsylvania had a similar issue. The Jeep only had 700 miles on the clock, and while driving 4WD low engaged and wouldn't disengage. The dealer reset the drivetrain control module.
"Jeep claims it needs a software update but it's not out yet. These vehicles are dangerous to drive in this condition."
What To Do If Your 2022 Jeep Wagoneer is a Lemon? Your Lemon Rights
Only a small percentage of any vehicle make and model turns out to be a lemon, but lemons are a reality. So, it's important to be aware if there are issues that impact the value, use, or safety of your 2022 Jeep Wagoneer.
If you have purchased a lemon, you might be able to get a refund or even a new vehicle. We will review your case free of charge. All you need to do is contact our Helpline or fill in a contact form. It's free. When it comes to lemon law, Jeep's going to have to pay your legal bills.
Category Air Bags, Electrical System, Forward Collision Avoidance: Warnings
Started with the cold weather in december. I got a notification that I need to service the power steering system. Lasted for two drives and then went away. Approximately two weeks later, while driving my family in town, the power steering light came on again. Came to a stop at a stop sign and the car put itself in park. The car put itself in park three more times in a span of 5 minutes of driving. The forward collision warning light came on and would not let me drive forward. While driving, the electronic parking break came on and I almost lost control of the vehicle and fishtailed. Once I got to my driveway, the car struggled to make it up the driveway and once I put the car in park, it died. I had to jump the car to get it to the street. Once at the bottom of my driveway, the car struggled in reverse on a flat service. Service department has had the vehicle for a week and the last update that I have gotten was that the engineering department has to order a battery for my vehicle and that they are unsure what the problem is.
The contact owns a 2022 jeep wagoneer. The contact stated while reversing out of the driveway, there was a loud booming sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the rear driver's side rim and tire had exploded, leaving shards of metal and rubber on the ground. The contact also discovered that a single suspension arm was unsecured and missing a bolt and the nut. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,000. The vin was not available.
Category Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking, Power Train, Service Brakes
Abs lock up and collision avoidance system (blindspot sensor) failures - the vehicle has been serviced unsuccessfully 5 times now for shaking and vibration on the highway, software failures and blind spot collision avoidance sensor failures. Twice since I picked it up at the dealership on saturday 9/17 (5th visit), the abs has noted a system failure on the dash. It also shut down the collision avoidance system several times after noting a blindspot sensor failure. However, today after it noted the abs failure, the brakes locked up the rear tires while braking. I reached out to wagoneer on saturday, and again twice today by phone and once by email to the rep at fca and have not gotten a return call or email.
From the 1st day the rear air system never worked. I thought I was not doing something correctly. Took car back to dealership only to be told the motor blowout because the wiring shortened out. So now they dealership has the car and can't tell me when I will receive my car back. 000 car that has electrical issues from day one seems like a lemon and I should be able to get my money back along with my trade in , 2020 jeep wrangler. I have owed 4 previous jeep and never had any issues. This is very concerning that a car I purchased on 8/20/22 has an electrical issues that short out the claimant control unit .
Category Engine, Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking, Service Brakes
As I was pulling up to a red light, the vehicle threw itself into park and completely stopped and would not move. I was unable to put gear into drive. Thankfully, I was not going at full speed. After a couple minutes, I was able to put my foot on brake to restart the car. At this point, the engine and battery light were on as well. My fear is what would have happened had the brake auto-engaged at full speed or the highway? There were no issues with this prior to this happening. It has been taken to dealership for repair and has been escalated with a star case to get additonal engineer input. Given the dangerous nature of what occured, I wanted to report now even though I'm not sure what the resolution will be to fix it.
The initial unresolved issue is a slight tremor at speeds above 70mph. I was told that because of the speed limit that this occurs, it is above the limit of area the dealership. The are not able to road test for the issue. New issue is my wagoneer is slipping into four wheel drive. I received a software update and now there's a churning underneath my truck and it has become more of a strained ride as if it's lagging but no longer slipping into 4 wheel drive. May have been damaged during the slippage and the commute to my residence.
Category Electrical System, Lane Departure: Blind Spot Detection, Unknown Or Other
Major issues with the collision avoidance system - blind spot sensors continue to fail and shut off sporadically, or sensors in the mirror light up making you think you are about to hit someone when no one is near your vehicle. Has also shut down collision avoidance system and dinged multiple errant warnings for 3-5 minutes so badly we had to pull over and restart the vehicle. Additionally, the vehicle shakes in the steering wheel and passenger front seat intermittently between approximately 65-77 mph. They told us it was bad nexen tires so we paid ~
k to replace them and they replaced a defective rim. Vehicle is still having the same issues. This started at just over 2k miles. Vehicle was purchased in may 2022. Vehicle has been in the shop 4 times now and over 30 days to attempt repairs on the same issues. I do not feel safe driving my family in this vehicle. The series iii wagoneer loaner that dealership just provided (with under 3k miles) is also having the same shaking / vibration issue and failure of the navigation system, but the shaking and vibration in the loaner is worse than in ours.
Service shifter stop safely shut off engine to engage park brand new wagoneer and this error message has popped up multiple times. Have to turn vehicle off and let it sit for a few minutes before turning back on. Sometime message goes away, sometimes it doesn't.
Driving approximately 30 miles/hour (estimated) the car started the process of shutting down and then shut down - while moving. The lights flickered on the dash board but don't recall exactly what the indicators were. We were able to pull over to the side of the road, although not entirely off of the road. It was 11:00 pm. This is a safety issue because my family was in the car while it was moving and shut down while moving. We bought the car approximately 10 days prior to this happening and it had 17 miles on it when we bought it brand new.
Category Seats
The button that folds the second row seat is located right on top of the seat and easily accessible to my child, especially when sitting in a car seat (sitting higher). We had multiple incidents where my child pressed it while I was driving and came flying forward with tremendous force and hurting himself by the front seat. It's an extremely easy button to press for any child and the seat folds with strong force. I had to put tape on the button so my kids shouldn't be able to press it.
Vehicle had one warning light about tire pressure. Tire pressure tested fine. Began to drive. 30 minutes later every light on the dash lit up and vehicle stopped in an intersection and almost caused multiple accidents. Vehicle was finally towed by police and after a month in the shop they said it was a dead battery. But it died while the vehicle was driving and alternator should have been charging it.
State ID
After performing an auto start, I unlocked doors with keyfob and placed a child in my vehicle. When I shut the door, the vehicle locked the doors with child inside and I was unable to unlock the doors with the keyfob for approx 5 mins. I eventually was able to get the rear hatch to open using the keyfob and was able to get my child out of the vehicle. The temperature outside was over 100 degrees. Had the vehicle not unlocked and the auto start feature turned the vehicle off the livelihood of my children being trapped in the vehcile in that heat could have been fatal. There were no alarms, nor warning lamps or messages present after I was able to get in and finally turn the vehicle on by pressing the brake and pushing the ignition button. At this time, the dealer states it is an unknown cause, with no diagnostics shown for what happened. They have not been able to reproduce the situation. Vehicle has been inspected by the dealership service dept.
At two thousand miles the power steering went dead. Limped it home as I was told it would be difficult to drive but not unmanageable. Once I drove 35 miles home the dealership said bring it in and we can get you a loaner. On driving to the dealership the power steering turned on for half a second. Luckily wasn't applying a ton of force to turn the wheel and it just made me swerve half way in the ditch. Had I been going fast we would of been upside down in the ditch or worse.
The power steering quit working and the service lane departure light came on. The 4 wheel drive will sometimes come on for no reason.

Today 30jun2022 my wife had a forward collision. She t-boned a hyundai sonata on the passenger door the hyundai's side airbags deployed and the jaws of life had to be used to get the passenger door open. My wife's speed was about 5-10 mph it was in a parking lot. None of the safety features activated. There was no fcw, no visual or audio warnings, no brake jerking or braking at all. The front collision sensors failed, which may have assisted in preventing this accident. My vehicle is at a collision center waiting for an estimate to get fix, my insurance company has been notified. My vehicle will be available for data pull or inspection. No malfunction lights or warning lights were on prior to this accident. Problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by anyone.
State MT
On 6/9/22, we drove for a total of 3 hours, over 200 miles during the drive, the entire console went out and rebooted twice. We were on the freeway driving at high speed when this happened. The next morning, we go to start the vehicle, the battery was completely drained. Dealership claims the lights were left on, but it wasn't. This is the fifth time the car has been at the dealership for battery/ electrical issues. When we were driving, there was nothing displayed on the dash for a total of 10 minutes until it had rebooted twice. This could have caused an accident as we didn't have any electrical input on the dash and console. The dealership didn't try to replicate the problem. They simply re-charged the battery and told us the vehicle was fixed again. We've contacted chrysler corporate with this issue and there's an open case regarding these serious safety issues. The local police are aware of this issue as this is an ongoing issue with the vehicle and our safety was at risk.
On 4/19/22, the car was driven for more than 175 miles from bozeman, mt to sheridan, mt and back. We started the car up on 4/21/22 and the battery was dead. The dealership has claimed that we needed to drive the car longer distances in order to charge the battery fully. This is not the case as we drove it for a long period of time and the battery still died. The dealership, billion auto group refuses to give us a new battery because they have told us that the battery was not able to be replaced by their warranty guidelines. This is the fourth time the car has been in the dealership for the same issue. There is an inherent safety risk if we were not near a dealership to come and jump the vehicle to get the car back to driving condition to be then driven to the dealership for repair. This is a known issue and chrysler refuses to change out the battery or buy the car back. It is a lemon car under montana law. Ref: technical service bulletins https://www. Arfc. Org/technical-service-bulletins/2022/jeep/grand_wagoneer/bulletin. Html
While accelerating the vehicle lost power and didn't respond to the gas pedal. Warning lights began to flash and beep.
Power steering went out while moving down my driveway. Went out & was then unable to move the car forwards or backwards or turn wheels.
Category Electrical System, Power Train, Steering
Driving my vehicle home it was hard to turn and back wheels were locked out and not turning. After turning on and off vehicle serv 4wd came on and manual said to get it in for service. Also, uconnect and heat seaters stopped working. After having it towed at 2&1/2 mo old into dealerships service dept, was told by wagoneer client services that this wheels lock out is a common issue they are having and requires system updates, rear diff fluid drain and replace, and they will be doing a cam sensor replacement while its in for a known issue with that(also not a recall), and the uconnect and seat heaters intermittently not working they don't have an eta yet for. The wheels locking out and not working with kids in the car is super scary. And if its a known issue they need to be doing a recall before someone gets into a serious accident. Not ok.
On 2 separate occasions this brand new vehicle has messed up. One in february with 3000 miles and again, same issue in april, with 6000 miles. It seems to be a 4 wheel drive issue. The back wheel will lock down when attempting to make sharp turns.
Category Forward Collision Avoidance: Automatic Emergency Braking, Service Brakes, Steering
The first instance I was pulling out of the driveway. When I got to the end I tried to turn my steering wheel and it was completely locked. The alert started going off to service the lane assiatiance. I couldn't move the tires at all. I turned the car off and re started it multiple times to try to get it to unlock. After about 5 times it unlocked but still said to service the lance assistance. Called dealership they made an appointment 2-3 weeks out to look at it. Two weeks later driving at 35-40mph alert goes off that brake system needs to be serviced the car kicked on the parking break within seconds and steering wheel locked. I had two children in the car. We feared for our lives. Once pulled over the car was kicked into 4wd low on top of all the other things. Called dealership and they sent me to voicemail. Didn't return call for hours. After restarting the car multiple times I was able to drive it to the dealership. I could only imagine how bad this could have ended up. Still no word on what exactly happened. I'm currently in a loaner
While driving, 4wd low engaged. Would not disengage. Had to take it to the dealer with 700 miles on it. They reset the drive train control module. Jeep claims it needs a software update but it's not out yet. These vehicles are dangerous to drive in this condition.
At around 800 miles several warning lights turn on regarding servicing 4wd system and the vehicle became stuck in 4lo. The rear differential and transfer case were shot already and was told from dealer the cause was a control module but they had no update or fix for the module yet. Vehicle was not able to be driven without further damage until repaired. Going on 3 weeks without brand new vehicle.

My Wagoneer 2022 had problems with driver assist power train park sense; line management during test driving. The salesman found the defects and convinced me that this would be after the computer reboot. They went for cleaning and fuelling. On signing the contract, I was told that I had to return to get it fixed. The car stayed three weeks before repair. Few e were replaced. Concern about future incidence, the platform is new. I requested the dealership to unwind the transaction. They refused I am in arbitration with Chrysler. Please advise?
I bought my vehicle in Sept. had it back in the shop within couple of days the screen froze. the next week I got a message on the app saying my air bags were disabled. The screen kept going back and white with an arcing sound. The start and stop did not always work. After multiple updates saying it should be fine. It made an awful noise then the screen went black. Finally came back on. After two buy back attempts with Chrysler. We traded the vehicle for the safety out of family especially the air bag issues and arcing sounds. We took a big loss but I feel safe.

Have an appt tomorrow with the dealership. Main screen freezes or reboots all the time. Radio not working correctly. Blind spot alert always on even when no one is around. they never turn off on both mirrors. Parksense won't turn on it just says unavailable service required. same thing with active lane management. collision detection off lights stays on. It will not work. Driver seat heated seat won't stay on. Wish me luck. Reading everyone else's messages, it seems like this is going to be a long process.

Purchased a Grand Wagoneer in October of 2022 and is a series II. To date I have driven it 7,200 miles from Florida to Montana my biggest trip so far pulling a 12' trailer with electric brakes. That trip went off without any problems. Now in the last 2 weeks the conplete piano keyboard on just below the multii function screen, cannot control heat or A/C at all. The odometer number continue to blink on and off on the drivers screen. The fog light on the passenger side quit working. I have had issues with the tailgate not operating properly. I scheduled an appointment for a month from now because that was the earliest They could get me in to the dealership.

Yeah my 2022 Wagoneer smells like antifreeze when you turn the AC on it smells like syrup I took it in and they said there was nothing wrong with it. Got it back still smells like antifreeze or syrup. I'm gonna take it to a friend of mine that works at GM to see what he thinks about the smell.

We purchased a 2022 Wagoneer 4×4 and approximately 2 months later, the interior rear hatch manual close button stopped working. It's been at the Riveroaks Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealer for over 4 months now and every time we call to ask for our vehicle they say that they spoke with personnel and that it will be ready by Monday, expect a call by Monday. It's been a whole lot of Mondays now and still nothing. My wife went to climb up the ladder again and spoke with the Gen. Manager and he went to investigate and he stated that part was in "but they didn't have anyone to install it". AHAHAHAHAHA! Ain't that the funniest thing you've ever heard?
It would be funnier if it wasn't my $100,000.00 vehicle that we're talking about. Yes, they did supply a loaner basic, no frills, no extras, lower end Wagoneer but 4 months?
I will personally be seeing them soon and well, wish me luck cause I'm not as patient as my wife. This will certainly be interesting.
My Wagoneer sajes when I drive Above 60 mph. I have taken the car to Aventura Jeep/Chrysler/ Dodge dealship twice. I picked up the car yesterday 9/24/2022 and it still has the same issue. I'm taking the car back again tomorrow. If at the 3rd shot they can't get it right I don't want the car. How can I proceed ? Can you help?

I've had my Wagoneer since June of 2022 – It has been in the shop for almost 30 days. I have a case open with Wagoneer (Stellantis) and they don't seem to take anything seriously with my claims. The panels on the vehicle are severely miss aligned (uneven they are not flush and will never be) and I started noticing this after a defective trim piece on the interior side of my tail gate. Which took a few weeks to come in and replace. Everything that I have requested is always 2-3 weeks out – I have not been provided a loaner vehicle in several occasions in order to get my vehicle serviced as quickly as possible – I have had the front wiring harness replaced for the headlights – now they are replacing the fog light wiring assembly as when the fog lights are on it malfunctions and it goes on and off with a warning in the driver HUB. I had a severe issue with the software and had to reset my radio main unit to get our phones to reconnect via car play and google auto. We have had quality concerns along with serviceability issues and the inability to properly address issues with the vehicle. I am still waiting for Stellantis to address my concerns with the misaligned panels of the vehicle which cannot be fixed without making it misaligned somewhere else and also impacting the integrity of the vehicle and or wind noise or resale value of the vehicle – I brought these concerns up after about 500-800 miles of driving the vehicle – yet it still has not been fixed or addressed. I have sent this to the Repurchase team at Stellantis for the second time as I am disputing their first rejection of my claim that it is a lemon or defective vehicle as they did not have all the information and just rejected it without receiving any information regarding my vehicle and the above issues/concerns I have above.

Just came from the jeep dealership, and looked at the wagoner, had one many years ago, looked nice, salesperson said they haven't had any issues with them yet, just some minor adjustments, though i saw 8 of them with customer service tags in the windows in the back parking lot, drove it, they didn't have a 4×4, a must have for us is AWD, we currently driving 2 hummers, I think ill stay with them for now, after reading this update on the wagoner….

December 1953 : Creation of the Institut Pasteur in Phnom Penh, following the proclamation of the independence of the Kingdom of Cambodia (Directors: Dr. Maurice Huard from 1953 to 1955, and Dr. René Triau, 1955-1958). The Institute produced first veterinary vaccines but soon increased its capacity for human vaccines against rabies and smallpox.
January 1958 : The name was given of Institut Pasteur in Cambodia and its tasks were directed towards human biology and pathology. (Directors: 1958-1960: Dr. René Triau, 1960 – 1975: Dr. Yves GOUEFFON). In 1961, Dr. Claude Chastel created the service of human virology and medical entomology, and isolated Chikungunya virus (1961), dengue virus (1962) and Japanese encephalitis virus (1965). Then he worked on polio virus and human rabies. In 1967, Dr. Klein of ORSTOM developed an entomology laboratory to study the transmission of microbes by hematophagous vectors. The Institute opened at that time a service of analytical chemistry and industrial chemistry and pharmaceutics for analyses of water and agricultural products.
1975-1979 : During the regime of the Khmer Rouge, the buildings were destroyed.
1986-1994 : The Institut Pasteur in Phnom Penh located in Toul Kork reborn under the direction of Mrs. Dr. Kruy Sunlay. Biological and microbiological analyzes (parasites, dengue, diarrhea) were developed and academic education was provided for medical staff.
August 27, 1992 : A convention between the Government of Cambodia and the Institut Pasteur was signed in Phnom Penh by Professor Maxime Schwartz, Director General of the Institut Pasteur and Dr. Yim Chhay Ly for the State of Cambodia.
March 29, 1994 : The foundation stone was celebrated by the French Minister of Health, Mrs Simone Veil and Dr. Chhea Tang, Minister of Health of Cambodia in the presence of Prof. Maxime Schwartz, Director General of the Institut Pasteur.
February 10, 1995 : the Institut Pasteur in Cambodia was officially opened by the Prime Minister of the Royal Government of Cambodia, Prince Norodom Ranariddh, in the presence of Prof Bernard Debré, French Minister of Cooperation. Dr. François Flye Sainte-Marie is officially the direction of the Institute and Ms. Kruy Sunlay, behind the rebirth of the Institut Pasteur in Cambodia, was appointed Deputy Director. The Institut Pasteur in Cambodia opened a new era and Khmer-French cooperation.
The institute developed first a sector of biology. It opened in 1995 a first center of rabies vaccination and a first center of anonymous and free testing of HIV / AIDS (CDAG) in Cambodia. The virology unit was inaugurated in December 1996 in the presence of His Excellency Samdech Hun Sen, then the molecular epidemiology working on malaria in January 2001, and immunology in 2005. After the wave of emerging viruses that caused acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and avian influenza H5N1, a regional biosafety laboratory level P3 was inaugurated on 25 April 2008 in the presence of Dr. Mam Bunheng, Minister of Health, and Mrs. Rama Yadé, French Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Human Rights.
March 11, 2013 : A ceremony to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Institut Pasteur in Cambodia will take place in the presence of Dr Mam Bunheng and Pr Alice Dautry, Director General of Institut Pasteur. On this occasion will be the laying of the foundation stone of a building for a regional cross-disciplinary research on communicable diseases and emerging pathogens. Brochure 60th anniversary

slumbr - Xin Xin Ming (Zen Poem Drone)
By chim
Some of you may know I'm working on a new ambient slumbr album, which is just about getting wrapped up. This is a piece that was planned to be included but that won't make it, mainly because it's very long and contains a spoken word reading of an english translation of an old Zen verse, the Xin Xin Ming by Jianzhi Sengcan, written in the 6th century. I'm still wildly satisfied with it, and figured I'd share it with my fellow ambient fans here.

La coquille Saint-Jacques (Pecten maximus) est une espèce de mollusques bivalves marins de la famille des pectinidés. Parmi toutes les espèces de cette famille, qui sont légalement autorisées à bénéficier de l'appellation commerciale « Saint-Jacques », c'est la plus recherchée des gastronomes. Elle est reconnaissable à sa grande taille comparée aux autres espèces du genre Pecten et à sa coquille pourvue de côtes en éventail, dont la valve supérieure est totalement plate, contrairement aux pétoncles ou vanneaux dont les deux valves sont bombées.

Description
À coquilles inégales, sa valve supérieure est totalement plate et pourvue de côtes. Elle est de couleur rouge à brun, quelquefois rose ou tachetée.

L'espèce possède la particularité, rare dans le monde animal des coquillages, d'être munie de jusqu'à  catadioptriques élémentaires (sortes de miroirs formés de couches de cristaux cubiques de guanine qui fonctionnent par réflexion) situés en bordure de sa coquille.

La coquille Saint-Jacques est hermaphrodite. Sa glande génitale, appelée corail en gastronomie, est constituée de deux parties : l'une mâle, blanc ivoire (à ne pas confondre avec le pied) ; l'autre femelle, rouge orangé. Ces deux parties n'arrivent pas à maturité simultanément, les gamètes mâles précédant généralement les femelles (protandrie).

La coquille Saint-Jacques peut se déplacer relativement vite sur de courtes distances, par bonds, en claquant ses valves et en expulsant rapidement l'eau (hydropropulsion).

À l'état sauvage, elle peut vivre une vingtaine d'années. À sa taille commerciale, elle pèse  dont  de coquille.

Origine du nom
L'appellation "Coquille Saint-Jacques" viendrait des coquilles dont se paraient les pèlerins se rendant à Saint-Jacques de Compostelle. Ces coquilles étaient supposées porter bonheur car elles rappelaient celles dont était sorti couvert un cavalier sauvé des eaux par les compagnons de Saint-Jacques qui transportaient sa dépouille en Espagne. Cependant, l'origine de ce nom reste incertaine et encore débattue.

Noms vernaculaires

Le nom scientifique de ce bivalve Pecten maximus, soit « Pecten le Très Grand », peut être traduit par « le très grand peigne » et fait référence à la coquille qui porte des côtes disposées comme les dents d'un peigne.

Dans une partie de la Normandie, surtout dans le Calvados, la coquille Saint-Jacques est appelée un godefiche, terme utilisé entre autres par Gustave Flaubert dans Madame Bovary ou dans Un cœur simple : « D'autres fois, ayant passé la Toucques en bateau, ils cherchaient des coquilles. La marée basse laissait à découvert des oursins, des godefiches, des méduses ; et les enfants couraient, pour saisir des flocons d'écume que le vent emportait. ». En revanche, dans le Cotentin, le godefiche ou le gofiche, etc., est l'ormeau.

En breton, elle est appelée krogenn Sant-Jakez ou kalipezenn.

Origine
Les scientifiques considèrent que .

Répartition
En Europe, elle vit dans le nord de l'Atlantique et dans la Méditerranée : on la trouve dans le pas de Calais, au large de la Normandie, de la Bretagne, de l'Écosse, de l'Irlande, de l'Angleterre ou de l'Italie.

Pêche

En France
La pêche de la coquille Saint-Jacques est pratiquée par des bateaux spécialisés, les coquilliers. En France, elle est strictement réglementée et n'est autorisée que du  octobre au 15 mai par arrêté ministériel, période choisie à l'initiative des organisations professionnelles françaises, afin de protéger les ressources et laisser à la coquille le temps de grossir. Les coquilles mettent deux ans en Manche et trois ans en Manche ouest et Atlantique pour atteindre leur maturité sexuelle.

La taille minimum légale pour les professionnels est  pour la Manche et  pour la Manche ouest et les autres gisements alors que pour la pêche de loisir, elle est de  pour tous les gisements. Pour pêcher la coquille, les bateaux doivent disposer d'un PPS (Permis de Pêche Spécial). Sur les gisements classés, ils doivent aussi détenir une licence de pêche (Saint-Brieuc, baie de Seine). Les pêcheurs français sont les seuls à s'interdire de pêcher l'été. La coquille n'est pas une espèce sous quotas de l'Union européenne.

La principale technique employée pour sa pêche est celle de la drague, armature métallique qui permet de fouiller le fond et de « déterrer », puis récupérer les coquilles enfouies. La règlementation du diamètre minimum des anneaux ( en 2004, pour la Manche), permet de limiter la prise de juvéniles.

En France, les principaux ports de pêche de la coquille Saint-Jacques sont, sur le littoral du Pas-de-Calais : Étaples, Boulogne-sur-Mer, sur le littoral normand : Dieppe et Fécamp, Port-en-Bessin, Grandcamp, Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue et Granville. La Normandie représente plus de la moitié de la production française, c'est la première région française de pêche de coquille Saint-Jacques (Pecten maximus) et elle a obtenu deux labels rouges : pour la coquille en 2002 et pour la noix en 2009. La moitié environ de la production étant vendue hors criée, de gré à gré. Enfin sur le littoral breton, la baie de Saint-Brieuc avec les ports d'Erquy, Loguivy-de-la-Mer et Saint-Quay-Portrieux représente près de la moitié de la production française. La pêche .

Le tableau ci-dessous ne tient compte que des ventes déclarées en criée.

Label qualité IGP
La coquille Saint-Jacques des Côtes d'Armor bénéficie d'un label européen indication géographique protégée (IGP) depuis 1998. Cette reconnaissance de qualité garantie la zone de pêche de provenance du littoral des Côtes d'Armor par une pêche artisanale hivernale exclusivement. Le gisement fournit 90 % de la production de Bretagne et environ 50 % de la production française. Selon son cahier des charges ; entière, elle est conditionnée dans des bourriches en bois et la noix de coquille Saint-Jacques est  produite à partir d'une coquille Saint-Jacques vivante.

Au Royaume-Uni
La pêche est autorisée toute l'année au Royaume-Uni, en particulier à Jersey, aussi bien à la plongée qu'au dragage.

Commercialisation

Gastronomie
La coquille Saint-Jacques fait partie des mets raffinés. Elle est très appréciée pour sa chair, très riche en fer, et pour son corail, utilisé dans la gastronomie française. Elle est consommée crue (tartare, carpaccio) ou, le plus souvent, cuite (poêlée, rôtie ou pochée). Cette chair correspond à la noix, puissant muscle adducteur qui retient les valves par ses fibres musculaires et stocke l'énergie chimique sous forme de glycogène (biopolymère se transformant à la cuisson en glucose qui se caramélise, d'où la couleur dorée de la noix de coquille lors de la poêlée).

Conservation
Les avis divergent sur sa résistance à la congélation. Étant donné sa période de pêche assez limitée, et la faible résistance des Saint-Jacques fraîches au transport (par rapport aux moules et huîtres par exemple), les techniques modernes de congélation sont d'un recours utile. Même pour la pêche française de fin de saison qui ne trouve pas d'acheteur en frais, en particulier dans la région de la Baie de Saint-Brieuc.

Législation
En 1996, l'OMC a décidé, pour régler un différend, d'autoriser les dénominations commerciales « Saint-Jacques » et « noix de Saint-Jacques » pour d'autres pectinidés du genre Pecten que l'espèce Pecten maximus, tels Pecten jacobeus en Méditerranée et Pecten fumatus en Australie, mais aussi pour des genres proches comme Chlamys, Argopecten, Placopecten, Patinopecten (c'est-à-dire des pétoncles ou des vanneaux).

Cela inclut donc les pétoncles pêchés dans l'Atlantique nord (Placopecten magellanicus ou Chlamys islandica), en Australie, au Chili ou au Pérou (Pétoncle chilien), pétoncles pêchés ou élevés en Asie (Chine, ou dans la région d'Hokkaidō au Japon) (Mizuhopecten yessoensis, syn. Patinopecten yessoensis).

La décision de l'OMC mentionnée ci-dessus a été reprise dans la réglementation française.

Pour les produits transformés contenant de la « Saint-Jacques », le nom scientifique et le pays d'origine des mollusques utilisés doivent être indiqués dans la liste d'ingrédients .

La mention Pecten maximus correspond à la coquille Saint-Jacques endémique de la Manche. En France, la « coquille Saint-Jacques de Normandie » a été le premier produit non transformé à bénéficier d'un Label rouge. Il a reçu en 2002 le label rouge pour la coquille fraîche et entière, puis en 2009 pour la noix de coquille Saint-Jacques Pecten maximus fraîche.

Services écosystémiques
Les coquilles Saint-Jacques fournissent de nombreux services écosystémiques.

Ressources marines, elles sont exploitées pour la pêche et l'aquaculture (travaux pionniers en France d'Albert Lucas dans la rade de Brest avec l'ouverture de l'écloserie-nourricerie du Tinduff à Plougastel-Daoulas en 1974).

Ce sont des sentinelles écologiques qui alertent sur la sédimentation marine, la pollution marine (la  production sonore biologique des valves, étudiée par la , met en évidence que le nombre de mouvements sonifères des coquilles varie selon les concentrations marines d'algues toxiques, le manque d'oxygène) ou le réchauffement climatique, grâce à la coquille utilisée comme une machine à remonter le temps car elle archive les variations de son environnement (microstries de croissance journalière qui archivent les réponses de la coquille aux variations de température via les isotopes de l'oxygène, aux variations de concentrations des contaminants).

Symbolique
La valve bombée de sa coquille est l'emblème :
 du pèlerinage de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle (en l'honneur de saint Jacques le Majeur) ;
 de la société pétrolière Shell ;
 de Vénus/Aphrodite, qui l'utilisa comme nef lorsqu'elle naquit sur l'île de Chypre ;
 en héraldique, cette valve est une figure naturelle, représentée côté extérieur, qui se blasonne simplement coquille. Représentée plus rarement côté intérieur, elle se blasonne "vannet".

As the famous song goes but I did have a troublesome Greek tragedian Georgia in my life for three years. Now no longer in this life, her muffled voice did try to communicate with me earlier this year.
I first saw Georgia Koltronaki at the old restored synagogue in Chaniá at the New Year (Rosh Hashana) service in September 2013. She was noticeably colourfully well dressed and stood out as everyone present wore dark boring attire. I discovered, despite being Greek Orthodox, she was one of the synagogue committee members! Later that evening at the traditional Ela restaurant, we sat opposite each other and agreed to meet the next afternoon.
We met in a seafront cafe at Chania harbour opposite the famous lighthouse where she announced she had no money but would buy me a 'welcome to Chania' coffee. Her 'investment' in a new potential 'friend' as I was later to discover! She appeared very helpful when I explained I was looking for a flat for my friend Jude to spend mild winters in Chania away from the grey, cold damp of Brighton. By the end of that evening, it was I who had paid a deposit on a delightful traditional flat in an old Turkish house around the corner from the synagogue. Yati Oxi? Why not?
I excitedly moved in at Xmas and Georgia became my new 'best' friend. She chose me to be her 'sister' so I became her closest friend, the one she confided in and dumped all her woes on because she could not reveal her dirty washing in the closed community of respectable Chania!
A complex spiritual and religious woman in her mid 50s. A woman of many surprises and contacts. Even a lady Freemason! With a knowledge of several badly spoken languages, she had worked, after her divorce from her wife-beating husband Costas, in Dubai or was it Beirut at the Greek Embassy? She was attracted to Arabs and they to her. Mother of 2 contrasted girls. One good and kind, a psychology student at Rethmnion university. The other bad, vulgar and ignorant who took after her slob of an obese father who I had the misfortune to glance at once through the window of his car hire company. Once was enough! A man who had been number one in his self made business sliding down to number zero, having gambled away all the company's profits.
Georgia had enjoyed the trappings of a good material life with him in his heyday, flashy cars, gold and diamond jewellery but those days had long gone. He abused her mentally and physically even in front of the children. Finally after a bitter struggle they divorced and she moved abroad to work, took lovers and got back on her feet with a new Alpha identity and a Voice!
The old family house in Chania drew her back as Costas had moved out and begun a new life. The domestic scene was unclear but when I met her, he had moved back into the marital home, after a mysterious fire at his new house, as his name, not her's, was on the marital house deeds, so even though she had lived in the marital home for more than 20 years, it was not actually her house but solely his under antiquated Greek law. He had moved back in despite having been divorced for over 10 years and she was thus confined to a garret at the top of the house and forced to do the cooking which he paid for. She had no other option but to work for the bastard for E20 a day at his car hire company which she, under Greek Law, had a small legal percentage of. This legality prevented her from getting unemployment benefit because he refused to sign the release document, so she was forced to work for him for cash. Later he reduced that meagre amount down to E10 a day. That was when I stepped in to become her benefactor. I moved her into a small flat for her mental health and well-being leaving slob Costas behind with their 2 daughters. After all I was her best friend but by this time in 2015 she had developed a large growing cancerous lump on her neck which could not be cut out completely because the nerves were linked to her brain.
Mysteriously she had moved to Jordan and 'married' a Jordanian, a Greek friend had insisted she meet, who wanted a wife. An arranged marriage not made in heaven. All poor Georgia wanted in life was to be with a man who would take care of her, buying her clothes and meals. She did not ask too much in life, just normal basic happiness, respect and survival. I lost touch with her for several months that year but it seemed he 'divorced' her Arab style (Triple talaq) when her cancer returned. She fled back home to Chania without the exotic beautiful abayas her husband had bought her, to abusive ex husband Costas. I lost respect for her a bit when she confessed she had allowed him to make love to her. She must have been desperate for sex that night.
I rushed to help and support her in April 2016 but disaster befell me and I ended up in a private clinic with a prolapsed disc and a sciatic nerve pressing on it. Georgia became my lifeline and helped me greatly. Our roles were reversed. I was in acute pain for the first time in my life. After 5 nights on a morphine drip, she moved me into a business hotel opposite the car hire company office so she could visit me constantly and arranged for her Russian masseuse to give me reflexology. Our friendship deepened but I knew her time was limited.
Then disaster struck again. I came back to Brighton as an emergency and my best friend Pauline was at my side but she was going to Jamaica and I was alone and incapacitated. Georgia agreed to 'look after me' between her appointments at the Athens cancer hospital. It was a battle against time. Like an egg timer, the sand was running out. She agreed to care for me for 19 days before Pauline's return. To look after someone. What does that mean? I presumed, cook, shop and bathe her closest friend, the 'sister' she said she loved. So Georgia flew in when Pauline flew out. Right away I could see things were not good. She was dressed either in an odd red boiler suit or in her black every day Jordanian abaya looking very 'domestic'. Gone was elegant clothes conscious Georgia. The woman I thought I knew.
I invited her as my guest on the radio talking about friendship with her choice of Greek music on Friday 10 June. The programme can be heard on my website under 'radio'. The following day I took her to the 'Action for Happiness' meet-up group nearby my flat to chat to other members as she was a very sociable soul.
More disaster when a charming French educated attractive Mauritian woman arrived looking elegant and flaunting her 'wealth'. Being materialistic, Georgia pounced on her asking her if she was wearing a Prada skirt. No, a copy was Ann Labbe's reply. The woman had divorced her German lawyer husband and moved to Aberdeen to be near her son studying at the university. So we were in international company and got on well capturing the moment, frozen in time, on my iPhone.
Ann not knowing anyone in Brighton, having just arrived, spontaneously invited us both for lunch. But first Georgia had to buy the chicken for dinner, at my expense bien sur, as I could not walk as far as the supermarket, even with my cane. After a lovely but expensive meal at 'Semolina', I invited Ann to join us for a Greek dinner on Monday night with Georgia as cook. She was an excellent Greek Goddess in the kitchen despite carelessly leaving the gas ring on and buying black spotted cheap bananas, obviously pocketing the change. I was totally supporting her financially in Brighton wanting her to have the best quality food for her condition.
Georgia looked sinister in her unadorned black abaya and red turban which she gave me later after I had given her about £300 cash that Monday. She played hostess at the head of the table going in and out of the kitchen all evening, serving up delicious Greek chicken and charred Middle Eastern vegetables. We had a humorous entertaining evening with Ann recounting her funny tales of woe so I invited her on the radio show that Friday to talk about the ups and downs of internet dating. As she had evinced an interest in speaking Spanish, I also invited her to the local Spanish group as well. After all Georgia would be staying 19 days to care for me until Pauline's return that Thursday 16th June. A delightful evening with the potential of a new French speaking friendship for me. Little did I know what conniving Georgia was planning behind my back.
On Tuesday, Georgia abandoned me in at the Lewes Town Hall, leaving me to struggle with the food shopping and eventually going off with some Lebanese people she had met in a cafe who thankfully brought her back to Brighton by car. I was mad at her being so irresponsible as to get in a car with strangers. After all I was responsible for her in the UK.
On the Wednesday evening I texted Ann to come for dinner before Spanish on the Thursday evening and I received a rude 'no' without any explanation. When I asked about the radio on the Friday, I received an even ruder text saying she wanted no contact with me and did not like the way I 'treated' my friend and she was not a lesbian, I was or inferring we were! I was horrified!
I came home on Thursday evening after Spanish to find Georgia already packed and had arranged for a taxi to pick her up at 4.00 am to go to the airport. Only after 6 nights instead of 19 days, she lied that her mother was ill. I showed her Ann's text to which she just laughed and said several people at the synagogue presumed we were lesbian. A fact she did not deny even though it was totally untrue! Then she was gone out of my life forever!
When Pauline arrived the next day back from Jamaica, after I had had a sleepless night, she showed me a text from Georgia sent on the Monday before I had handed her the cash, saying she had not come to Brighton to loose money! I was stunned at her insincerity and immediately cut her off from all social media and notified her 'Born Again Christian' Greek German landlady I would no longer be paying her rent. I had paid it and supported her for a year. I also went to my solicitor and deleted her from my Will. Enough already!
Georgia then rang from Chania as if nothing was wrong, confessing she had seen Ann on both the Wednesday and Thursday receiving bags and shoes and I presume her return airfare. Why could the three of us not be friends she asked? I slammed the phone incensed by her betrayal and greed. No doubt she had invited Ann to Chania with promises, promises!
Over the next two years she constantly begged my forgiveness but I never gave her the blessing she craved for. Her Romanian friend Micky, owner of the local Micky Mouse cafe, wrote to me on Facebook that she had finally died a painful death. I wrote my condolences to Micky and her timid 'good' daughter Stella, saying that she was finally pain free and at peace.
The end of the saga of the Greek Tragedy? Not quite. Yes, we had good times and exchanged a lot of Greek and Turkish jewellery, met in Istanbul and Athens before her betrayal. It was the lying and insincerity I could not endure plus her bad mouthing most of the 'friends' she had in Chania. She fell out with almost everyone including her landlady. Never a good word about anyone, perhaps even me. I will never know despite affectionately calling me her 'sister'.
Earlier this year, two years after her death, I was listening to the Mixcloud link Susi Oddball had sent me for our radio show 'Your voice matters' at BHCR before sending it on to my guest. I heard the muffled sound of a distorted recording for at least three minutes with Georgia's voice and Greek music from the programme when she had been my guest. Astonished, I texted Susi complaining. Susi texted back the recording was perfect. I played it again and yes it was perfect but I did not dream that sound. It was Georgia's voice from another far away realm!

FC Barcelona would be looking to continue their two match winning streak at Osasuna tonight. After the set-backs suffered at Valencia and against Rubin Kazan at Camp Nou, Barca looked to have got their campaign back to the right track, but still this will be a huge test. The defeat against Rubin Kazan had made the return leg on wednesday a must win affair . In view of that Guardiola would love to give rest to some of the key players. Xavi for me might see more rest after playing non-stop till last week. Henry is back in the squad after recovering from the fitness and he should see some play time. Osasuna currently lies in tenth position in the table. But that doesn't sound too much in Barca's favour as a visit to Pamplona is always regarded as one of the toughest. Barca had won 11 times in 31 visits with 10 draw and ten defeats at Pamplona. So this one is definitely a tough one. Last season we won 3-2 here with some late goals.
I recently got hold of Full Zip Barcelona Jacket from SoccerPro. I already have received the FC Barcelona navy Blue Jacket but this one has a better Bluagrana identity than the other one. The jacket has a bold red stripe across it's front and back midsection and two thin red stripes on the center of left sleeve. The Nike corporate logo is embroidered on the upper right of the chest. The Barcelona crest is kind of embedded on the left and looks really nice. To top it all the famous mascot is embroidered on the left sleeve. SoccerPro also have the Nike Barcelona Full Zip Jacket - Dark Obsidian and Bright Mango - a variation to the above shown jacket. But I will go with the Blue and Red Jacket as it has a more close resemblence to Barca identity. Which ever you are looking to buy you will get decent amount of discount from SoccerPro for any Soccer Apparel. The clearance sale is also on at SoccerPro and you would definitely want to check the same.
FC Barcelona extended their lead at the top of the league to three points with a marvelous 6-1 thrashing of Zaragoza. It was quite a night with Keita scoring a hat-trick. Not many times you will see Keita outscoring the likes of Messi and Ibrahmovic. There were serious doubts about Barca's form, but the players put them into rest with a sensational display. Apart from Keita's hat-trick, Ibrahmovic scored a brace and Messi added one to complete Barca's tally. Lopez was the one who got the consolation goal for Real zaragoza. Guardiola had Puyol, Pique, Chygrynskiy and Maxwell in the defense infront of Valdes. The midfield was formed by Keita, Busquets and Xavi. Iniesta, Ibrahmovic and Messi formed the attacking trio.
FC Barcelona would be looking to put behind them the recent set-backs suffered in their campaign tonight at Camp Nou. A failure to defeat Zaragoza at home will see alarm bells ringing around Barca faithfuls. With Gijon holding Real Madrid to a goal less draw last night, it is upto Barca to capitalise on Real's slip up. A victory tonight will take them four points clear of Madrid and will put enormous pressure on a side which has spent 250 million this summer. Barca players also will be looking to silense their critics with a stellar performance tonight. With Dani Alves injured it is sure that Puyol will be playing as the right back. But whether Chygrynskiy will feature after a injury-layoff is yet to be seen. Zaragoza alwas have been a tough opponent for us, but they were relegated last season. Hence they may not be the same opponents like some seasons ago.
I have been on road for last two days and missed the Champions league match against Rubin Kazan. So this one resulted in the first defeat officially this season. Now if we take the last three matches into presective, there could be some alarm bells ringing. The 1-0 victory against Almeria was far from convincing, the draw at Valencia was aided by some heavy fortune and the 2-1 defeat can be attributed to lack of the same. But the cry of a crisi could be too pre-mature but everyone agrees that if we don't deal with this early this could spell trouble. In the last three matches we definitely had trouble with our finishing especially against a desperately defending side. Complacency could have been a big contributing factor but I think the bigger factor could be that we are not yet playing at the pace which we used to play last season. It is also time for us to understand and plan for ultra defensive opponents. I have earlier explained that rather than crying about these tactics we could do a world of good if we start preparing for these types of matches.
FC Barcelona's winning streak came to a hold at the Mestella, when they were held to a goal less draw by Valencia. Actually Barca was lucky not to have lost the match, a combination of great goal keeping by Valdes and some poor finishing by Valencia players prevented a Valencia win. Valencia were the better team in both the halfs, especially in the first half. David Villa was ruled out of the encounter and would have definitely made a difference with his finishing. For Barca Ibrahmovic and Bojan both started from the bench. Valdes kept the goal ahead of a defensive formation of Alves, Puyol, Pique and Abidal. Xavi, Keita and Toure formed the midfield. Iniesta, Pedro and Messi formed the attacking trio. The lack of a genuine centre forward means that we were going to struggle knitting up attacks. And to make matter worse we lost the midfield battle in the absence of Iniesta from the midfield. In attack Iniesta was the best Barca player in display.
Ok, first of all some glad news to Barca fans in sub-continent. TenSports is telecasting Barca TV every Tuesday at 11:30PM Indian time. Last week we had the re-telecast of FC Barcelona vs Almeria match. Let me repeat it is no live telecast, but it is good to see the matches in full in TV after two days, atleast it is better than nothing. I had so many people complaint here about the lack of quality while streaming via internet. As of now you have to still stream the matches if you want to watch it live but then it will refreshing to watch the match properly after some time. Ok, let's just look it in a positive way - It is better than nothing. Argentina finally qualified for South Africa with a 1-0 victory against Uruguay. It was no classic attacking performance, but was a very efficient one considering that Argentina needed only one point to go through. Lionel Messi once again failed to shine and he will continue to do the same until Maradona decides to use him a bit behind the forward. The lack of service to Messi upfront means he is simply wasted at his position now. But still it would be great for Messi that they have managed to qualify. Have they failed it could have affected his performance at Barca.
Goal.com reported a story which featured in Daily Mirror about a possible exchange deal involving Kompany and Robinho for Yaya Toure and Puyol. This definitely has to be a joke or an imagination of some disturbed mind. Howelse you can explain the exchange of one of the best defensive midfielder and defender for two players who are struggling to find a regular place in the Manchester City side. But there could be some deal involving Yaya or Puyol in next summer. For some insane reason I have always felt that Guardiola rarely appreciate the value of Yaya Toure. Maybe he does not think him to be a good player, but for me he is the best defensive midfielder along with Essien in the business. o I won't be too much surprised to see him leave in the summer, even though I will be really shattered. He is the best assurance our attack needs in the midfield. In the case of Puyol, Barca management has given him an ultimatum to complete the contract negotiation as soon as possible. Puyol's agent alleges that Puyol is not happy with his role in the side but I don't think Barca will let him go. Especially a new president will have a tough time expaining the departure of a player who has become the symbol of Barca around the world. On top of it, Puyol is a wonderful defender. He may not be the most tecnically brilliant defender in the world, but he one of the most effective. And the spirit he brings to this side cannot be replicated by anyone else.
An injury time winner by veteran Martin Palermo kept Argentina's qualification hopes well and truly alive. Argentina was cruising to a victory courtesy of a strike from Higuain but was stunned when Peru equalised in the 89th minute but was saved by a goal from Palermo deep into injury time. In a rain spoiled match Lionel Messi struggled to find his rhythm, but Maradona looked not concerned about it, standing firmly on his belief that Messi is Argentina's "Ace Of Spade". It still puzzles me why Maradona prefers Heinze in the centre defense when he have the likes of Walter Samuel and Zanetti available. But the decision to bring back Aimar proved right as he provided the assist for Higuain goal. I have earlier written about How Maradona should Line-up. In that article I have written why Angel Di Maria should be involved in the midfield and I was proven right by his performance. Argentina lies in fourt place now and a victory at Uruguay will secure their spot in South Africa. Meanwhile France thrashed Feroe Islands 5-0 and has qualified for the play=offs. Serbia has topped the group and booked their place in South Africa. In a very crucial match Sweden went down to Denmark by a solitary goal. This puts Sweden's campaign at risk as Portugal won against Hungary.
With Sevilla beating Real Madrid, FC Barcelona has moved to the top of La Liga with a three point lead. Real Madrid side, who were without Ronaldo went down at Sevilla 2-1. Now Barca is the opnly team which has a cent percent record in this season's League campaign. A three point lead at this early stage will be significant and will help us to put more pressure on the Madrid side in the coming weeks. I had some issues with the blog and could not write about the last match. FC Barcelona surprisingly struggled to a 1-0 victory against Almeria at home. may be the word struggling is a bit of unjustice but we did struggle to find their usual rhythm. It was mainly due to the lack of footballing intent from Almeria which resulted in us having an enormous 71% possession of the game and the creative midfield of Xavi was kept constantly under mark. Chico was assigned to mark him and did that with full commitment showing no intent to touch the ball. But it is again good to see we winning not that beutifully, it shows the grit of the team and I have to appreciate Guardiola's quick thinking to have Marquez move in to Xavi's position while Xavi drag players to the side. At times in this match our finishing was left wanting. But what worries me most is the refreeing in the last two games, we definitely should have had atleast one penalty but like last match that wasn't given.

UCLA is the home of some of the most celebrated names in college basketball history, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then known as Lew Alcindor), who won three consecutive championship titles, John Wooden (the "Wizard of Westwood") and Bill Walton, who won two titles while at the school. Before John Wooden arrived in 1948, UCLA had won only a handful of conference championships and no national titles. Wooden then transformed the program into a true powerhouse over the next few decades. His first championship in 1964 began the most dominant phase in Division I men's basketball history. Over 12 seasons, UCLA won 10 national titles, had numerous All-American players and had two of the top three longest winning streaks ever. The first win streak lasted for 47 games between 1966 and 1968. This set the stage for the record-setting 88-game winning streak between 1971 and 1974, which finally ended with a one-point loss to Notre Dame. Following the end of the Wooden era, UCLA won another championship in 1995 under Jim Harrick. The team also finished as the national runner-up in 1980 and 2006.

Every business no matter how big or small will need a human resources department in order for it to function properly. The department is responsible for handling employees, at times their salaries, their legal memos, their benefits, taxes, evaluations, and many other matters as well as being the department that would usually handle recruiting new employees although there are some companies that create an entirely new entity by have a designated recruitment department. So for a proper HR department to function properly it will need certain types of forms so that they can keep a record of the most important details and work efficiently while addressing as many employee concerns as possible.
Business salary analysis form – The purpose of this form is for you to analyze the information you have regarding your salary receipt and compare yours and those of other competitors.
Compensation and benefit forms – These forms would show the employees what benefits they are entitled to, how they can get them, and how much they are able to receive. The usual benefits that would be listed here wold be regarding overtimes, holiday pays, night shifts, work allowances, complexities packages, travel and meal allowances, and many others.
Direct deposit form – This form should be given to employees who wish to have their paychecks directly deposited to their bank accounts.
Direct deposit revocation form – This form is for the employees to have their employees stop sending their paychecks directly into their bank account.
Dismissal or employee termination form – This form is used whenever the company would decide to terminate an employee or for when the employee has decided to quit the company. The form would usually have details as to why either party has requested for a termination and both parties must sign on it to show that they have come to an agreement regarding their separation.
Drug and/or alcohol testing consent forms – These forms are used so that the employees would consent to having themselves tested for drugs and/or alcohol. It is important for employees to remain at top shape and not indulge or intoxicate themselves with any substance that would cause them to have mental breakdowns or a lack of conscience.
Employee absence request and weekly absence record – This form is for the employees who wish to go on leave due to personal or non-personal reasons which require their attention. The form will detail how many hours or days they will need to go on leave as well as indicate whether or not their leave will be one with or without pay.
Employee emergency information form – This form is for employees to fill up their personal information, medical information, emergency contacts, and other necessary bits of information that will be used if ever there is an emergency like a natural disaster or a health emergency.
Employee incident report forms – These forms are for the employees to fill up if there has been an incident that has occurred in the office like for example somebody opening a door that wasn't meant to be opened and caused the alarm to off in the process or someone who is usually one of a high position, sexually harassing one of the employees that was under them. It can even go as far as reporting about an employee blackmailing another. This is when the HR department becomes directly involved and will need to investigate the matter and think of an appropriate punishment if ever necessary.
Employee time sheets – This form is for the employees to view their records for how long they were doing their work in the office. The purpose of this sheet is for the employees to check if there are any discrepancies with the records and if they happen to come across any then they will have to go the human resources department and have the issue cleared. The HR department will simply re-check their records and confirm with any footage or other sorts of records or witnesses if there really was an inaccurate record.
Employee warning notice – these are basically warning letters to give to employees that have done something that goes against the rules and regulations of the company as well as against its policies so that they will be reprimanded not to do them again in the future. If employees have received a certain number of these warnings than it might not be long until the company would have to review their conduct throughout their tenure and decide whether or not the employee is still worth keeping. There will be instances where the offense would be grave enough that their won't even be a need to end with an HR notice but skip directly to a termination notice.
Expense report – This document would give details how much of the company's money was spent for things like business trips, company sponsored events, food and drinks, bills, rent, and many other things that the company has to pay for.
Equipment lease request – This form is for those employees who wish to borrow some equipment that is owned by the company. They would usually give details as to why they have the need for borrowing said equipment, the date for when they would borrow it, the date of when they would eventually return it, and details regarding the said equipment like its serial number and what kind of equipment it is.
Job requirements checklist – HR checklists are given to employees who have just applied for the job and were accepted. This checklist shows what are the requirements that these future employees need should they wish to go ahead with the employment process. The things that they would usually need would be documents like their proof of employment from their previous companies, valid IDs, clearance documents from their local town halls, government documents, insurance documents, and many other supporting documents that the company believes is necessary to keep in the future while they will be working under them.
Personal reference form – This form is to keep a record of the references that the employees have given to their employers. Usually the human resources department would call or email these character references regarding their knowledge of who this employee is and their work ethic while they were working with them or under their tutelage in the past.
PTO request form – This is otherwise known as paid time off. This form is for those employees who have been regularized by he company and are entitled to go on leave with pay for a set number of times. The employees would detail how many days they would go on leave and when they would start and end. The employees would earn usually the same amount of money that they earn if they were to have work on the same day even though they are taking their time to unwind and enjoy their brief respite from a hectic day of grueling work.
Release of information consent form – This is for the employees to fill out and sign to authorize their employer to release information regarding their employment verification from other organizations and in particular their previous employers.
Work rules – This can be used as a tool or guideline for the human resources department to create some general work rules for your small business so that you can add them to the company policies. The rules can be as basic as no eating in the work area, no loud music, no bringing of pets to the office, no smoking near the work area, recycle, and many others.
Workplace safety – This is a set of guidelines which details how to ensure that your workplace is a safe environment and the equipment you might need to ensure that proposed safety. Like for a example, a construction company stating that whenever their construction workers are out working on buildings, they need to wear their hard hats at all times to prevent any serious injury from occurring as much as they possibly can.
Yearly physical form – This form is for keeping a record of the physical health of the company's employees. It is important to keep track of this as it could be dangerous to keep an employee who has a history of health issues and not having any knowledge of how to keep their health in check in times of emergency, like giving an inhaler to someone who suffers from asthma.
