ANALYSIS: Another family's tragic tale of unaffordable health care
by Wendell Potter January 30, 2012 June 17, 2019
A bake sale being held to raise funds for Caroline Richmond's health care.
"It shouldn't be this way," read the subject line of an email I received Friday morning from a conservative friend and fellow Southerner. "People shouldn't have to beg for money to pay for medical care."
At first, I thought he was referring to my column last week in which I wrote about the fundraising effort to cover the bills, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, that the husband of Canadian skier Sarah Burke is now facing. Burke died on January 19, nine days after sustaining severe head injuries in a skiing accident in Park City, Utah. I noted that had the accident occurred in Burke's native Canada, which has a system of universal coverage, the fundraiser would not have been necessary.
But my friend was not writing about Sarah Burke. He wanted to alert me to another fundraiser, this one on Alabama's Gulf Coast, to help pay for the mounting medical expenses for a beautiful 13-year-old girl fighting for her life at USA Children's & Women's Hospital in Mobile, Ala.
In late November, Caroline Richmond was rushed to the hospital after collapsing on the way home from school. Doctors quickly determined she'd had a stroke and required immediate surgery. The bad news just kept coming. The stroke had been caused by leukemia.
In the weeks following brain surgery, Caroline had to undergo chemotherapy. She later became so ill that she was put on a ventilator and had to be fed through tubes. Although she is still listed in critical condition and faces a bone marrow transplant, Caroline has made progress. She was taken off the ventilator and tubes last week and is now eating solid food for the first time since the stroke.
As it turns out, Caroline is one of more than 50 million men, women and children who do not have health insurance in the United States, which is why her family is in the same predicament as Sarah Burke's. Caroline's father, Dallas, is self-employed and, like millions of other Americans who do not work for a company that offers health benefits, has not been able to find affordable coverage for his family.
A friend of the Richmonds, Robin Smith, told me Dallas is one of the hardest working people she's ever met. She said he owns a coin-operated laundry and has "two or three" other jobs to make ends meet. "He works round the clock," she said. "You never see him when he's not working."
Knowing that Dallas and his wife, Christy, are worried not only about their daughter but also about the real possibility they might be forced into bankruptcy and lose their home because of the medical bills, Smith has joined other friends of the family to raise money. Caroline's classmates and teachers have put "Cups for Caroline" in all the homerooms at Fairhope Middle School, where Caroline is an eighth-grader. They've also held car washes.
Last night they were scheduled to host a bake sale and fish fry at the American Legion Post in Fairhope. It was that event, also posted on a Facebook support page, that my friend brought to my attention. Until then, I had never heard of Caroline Richmond. I suspect you hadn't heard of her either. I am writing not only to spread the word, but also to ask that you think for a moment about walking in the Richmond family's shoes.
It is important to understand that almost all of us who do have health coverage through the workplace are just a layoff or plant closing away from joining the Richmonds among the uninsured. Those of us who are self-employed like Dallas Richmond or who work for small businesses that can no longer pay for coverage are increasingly unlikely to find decent coverage that we can afford.
Hundreds of thousands of families file for bankruptcy and lose their homes every year nationwide because of medical debt. Many of those people actually have what they thought was adequate insurance, but find that they still have to pay far more out of their own pockets to cover thousands of dollars in bills than their budgets will allow.
My column on Sarah Burke provoked many comments, some from people who essentially wrote, "too bad, so sad." In their opinion, Burke shouldn't have been taking risks on the ski slopes in Utah in the first place. She should have bought coverage that would have protected her in the U.S.
Maybe so. But I wonder what those people, all of whom condemned "Obamacare," will say about Caroline Richmond. When the reform law is fully implemented in a couple of years — assuming it goes forward — the Richmonds should be able to find coverage at an affordable price. That's what reform was all about. To make sure that American families don't have to lose their homes when someone gets sick and to make sure that insurance firms can no longer engage in practices that have swelled the ranks of the uninsured and underinsured.
Caroline's story is not unique. Tragedies like her's occur so often, in fact, that they rarely make the news anymore. But it is precisely because they are an everyday occurrence that health care reform was so urgently needed. We have been led to believe by opponents of reform that our health care system is the best in the world. The reality, of course, is that, while we do indeed have some of the world's best doctors and hospitals, the system in which they operate has become increasingly dysfunctional and unnecessarily expensive. This is why the reform law, despite its flaws, must go forward.

Q: Unable open file using file_picker & open_file.dart iam trying to open a file by using file_icker.dart & open_file.dart.
iam using AS articfox, flutter 2.5 and android 11 (did tried on emulator and androdi device (Remi note)).
this is my openFile code:
void _openFileExplorer() async {
    setState(() => _loadingPath = true);

    try {
      _directoryPath = null;
      _paths = (
          await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(
            type: _pickingType,
            allowMultiple: _multiPick,
            onFileLoading: (FilePickerStatus status) => print(status),
            allowedExtensions: (_extension?.isNotEmpty ?? false)
            ? _extension?.replaceAll(' ', '').split(',')
            : null,
          )
      )?.files;
    } on PlatformException catch (e) {
      print("Unsupported operation" + e.toString());
    } catch (ex) {
      print(ex);
    }

    if (!mounted) return;

    _loadingPath = false;
    _fileName =
      _paths != null
          ? _paths!.map((e) => e.name).toString()
          : '...';
    if (_paths != null) {
      print("FILEPATH FOUND==> $_paths");
      //try crating File using path
      File file = File(_paths.toString());
      //checking file exist
      (await file.exists()) ? print("file exist") : print("file !exist");
      //what the hell...try open it !!
      final _result = await OpenFile.open(_paths.toString());
      print("result: "+ _result.message);
    }
    else {
      print("nope");
    }
  }

and This is the output:
D/FilePickerUtils( 9666): File loaded and cached at:/data/user/0/com.example.bismillah/cache/file_picker/pdf_tmp_fie.pdf
D/FilePickerDelegate( 9666): File path:[com.mr.flutter.plugin.filepicker.FileInfo@98399df]
I/flutter ( 9666): FilePickerStatus.done
I/flutter ( 9666): FILEPATH FOUND==> [PlatformFile(path: /data/user/0/com.example.bismillah/cache/file_picker/pdf_tmp_fie.pdf, name: pdf_tmp_fie.pdf, bytes: null, readStream: null, size: 5948832)]
I/flutter ( 9666): file !exist
I/flutter ( 9666): result: the [PlatformFile(path: /data/user/0/com.example.bismillah/cache/file_picker/pdf_tmp_fie.pdf, name: pdf_tmp_fie.pdf, bytes: null, readStream: null, size: 5948832)] file does not exists

What confused me is that file_picker clearly confirmed the selected file :
File loaded and cached at:/data/user/0/com.example.bismillah/cache/file_picker/pdf_tmp_fie.pdf

But when i tried to assign that path to a file which i planned to open with open_file.dart it said file not exist. can someone please help me understand whats goin on.  Thanks

A: Okay after googling for 2 days...finnaly i got it works.
from my understanding is that, with android 10 and up, you can access local file with .  You need to  readAsBytes and create as new file at allowable directory.
so i use _readFileBytes form:
https://flutteragency.com/how-to-read-bytes-of-a-local-image-file-in-flutter/
before i opened it with open_file.dart as a new file.

An inside look at the CUPRA e-Racer
Electric touring racecar
The battery, weighing 450 kg, is the part that determines the design and location of the remaining elements
Four engines, located at the rear, succeed in reaching 12,000 rpm and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds
The car features an energy recovery system to harness power when braking and decelerating
Martorell, 19/12/2018. – Looking at what could be described as a multimedia x-ray, a 3D animation takes us on a journey deep inside the CUPRA e-Racer, the world's first fully electric competition touring car. With a year to go before it makes its debut, we examine the bones of this car and its main components:
- A 450 kg battery, the core element: It accounts for a third of the vehicle's total weight and is a challenge when developing this model, as explained by the head of engineering at CUPRA, Xavier Serra: "The battery determines the entire design and position of the remaining elements". It is located "as low as possible so that the centre of gravity is closer to the ground and enhances the car's dynamics", he points out. This part is made up of 23 panels with a total of 6,072 battery cells, generating the same power as 9,000 mobile phones connected at the same time.
- Four 'green' engines': These are mounted over the rear axle and deliver 680 hp. "The electric engine is less complicated, more efficient and requires less maintenance", says Xavier. The CUPRA e-Racer has a single gear that "gives us wonderful acceleration, from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 270 km/h", explains this engineer.
- No energy is lost; it is transformed: This car features an energy recovery system that harnesses energy from braking and decelerating. The steering wheel of the CUPRA e-Racer has a display panel that the driver and engineers can monitor and transfer a full range of vehicle performance data in real time while driving for efficient energy management.
- Temperature control: On the track, the technical team and the driver himself must know how to manage the temperature of the components. This car is equipped with a bespoke cooling system in the radiator, which provides cooling in around 20 minutes. "There are three independent cooling circuits, as each element has different temperature limits: the battery threshold is 60 °C, the inverters 90 °C, and the engines 120 °C", points out Xavier Serra.
- Final stretch towards a new racing format: CUPRA engineers and technicians continue to work to get the most out of the car. "This vehicle generates a lot of energy and we're working on how to use it efficiently and achieve good lap times", explains Xavier. In this sense, regardless of whether the car is equipped with an electric or a combustion engine, the goal is the same: "to be the fastest and cross the finish line in first place." Components and strategy go hand in hand, a combination that will peak in 2020 when the CUPRA e-Racer competes for the first time in the new ETCR Racing format.

Rosemary and Frankie Chavez swing The Desert Flour Bakery
Exceptional music is what Rosemary and Frankie Chavez and their group Jazz a'la mode are all about. They cover all of your favorite jazz and standards and even throw in a few surprises every other Thursday night at the Desert Flour Bakery in the Village of Oak Creek from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
Over the past several years, Rosemary Chavez, singer, recording artist and songwriter and Frankie Chavez, accomplished drummer, percussionist and songwriter have become well known in the Sedona music scene with their groups Jazz a'la mode and PLATINUM. Joining Rosemary and Frankie at the Desert Flour Bakery is another local favorite, keyboardist David Vincent Mills.
These accomplished musicians have been pleasing audiences for years. They've worked their magic at the Sedona Arts Festival, the Sedona International Film Festival, Prescott's Concerts at Courthouse Square, The Prescott Resort & Conference Center, the Sedona Marathon, Prescott Jazz Summit and other local hot spots such as PJs Village Pub, The Marketplace Café, Ken's Creekside, REDS at the Sedona Rouge and Tlaquepaque. They are all about great music and having fun and that is what their fans have come to expect at the Desert Flour Bakery.
Rosemary's beautiful vocals have been delighting audiences for years. A recent article stated "Whenever she is performing, Rosemary likes to have a relationship with each person in her audience. She makes you feel special as you listen to her warm, rich, supple voice and watch this lovely, joyful, commanding singer. She lets the music flow through every fiber of her being and it infuses her with an energy that is utterly infectious, be it happy, wistful, seductive or sad. Whether she is singing swing, jazzy bossa nova, dreamy ballads, a taunting bolero, soft rock 'n' roll or soulful R&B, Rosemary does it all with sassy spirit, tender heart and consummate musicianship."
Rosemary began her musical journey as a young child in her native Minnesota playing piano and singing whenever the opportunity arose. It was on one such occasion that she caught the attention of world renowned choral conductor, Weston Noble, which led to her attending Luther College in Decorah, Iowa and singing under his direction in the Nordic Choir. While earning her Bachelor of Arts degree at Luther, she spent her summers honing her style with musical show groups including a stint on Mackinaw Island before moving to Los Angeles.
While in LA, Rosemary worked in small combos with artists such as Billy Mitchell (Jazz on the Rocks headliner) and Nick DeMauro (Singer and Actor on Betty White's "Off Their Rockers") to large big bands such as The Ron Rubin Orchestra. She played clubs on the famed Sunset Strip, high end society events in Beverly Hills, and venues from Hollywood to Disneyland. Her professional recordings include three solos along with The National Philharmonic Orchestra on the movie soundtrack, ROAR, which was a top ten album in Australia starring actresses Tippi Hedren ("The Birds") and Melanie Griffith ("Working Girl"). Prior to leaving LA for Sedona, composer, arranger and conductor, Terence P. Minogue, chose Rosemary as the featured vocalist for his American Voices CD.
In 2010 Rosemary reunited with the Weston Noble Alumni Choir for their European Tour to Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic where she was a featured soloist in Prague. That same summer she sang with the leaders of the Stan Kenton Alumni Band, the Harry James Orchestra and the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. She is featured on the "Sweet Jazz a'la mode" CD which can be found on CD Baby or www.chavez-music.com The CD also features the performance and production talents of Frankie Chavez.
An accomplished drummer and percussionist, Frankie has performed with numerous artists including Lionel Hampton, Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Gerald Wilson, Larry Carlton, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Pat Boone, Mitzi Gaynor, Bobby Gentry, Vikki Carr, Willie Bobo, Buddy Collete and the list goes on. His tours have been to Mexico and the Far East with the Los Angeles based Glenn Miller Orchestra under the direction of Rick Gerber which included their performance at the 2012 Thailand Jazz Festival.
Frankie was instrumental in introducing Karen Carpenter of The Carpenters to the art of playing drums. While attending Downey High School in Downey, CA, they were not only classmates and friends but she was taken by his drumming and he became her first drum teacher even helping her to select her first drum kit. Frankie was interviewed and included in the book "Little Girl Blue: The Life of Karen Carpenter" by Randy L. Schmidt which received rave reviews upon its release in July 2010.
Both Frankie and Rosemary have been featured artists at the Prescott Jazz Summit for the past several years and have been invited back again this year and will perform in concert at the Elks Theater in Prescott.
Come and see what all the fun is about at the Desert Flour Bakery and while you're at it, enjoy one of Gary's wood fired pizzas and something special to drink from Andy. Tammy will welcome you to the Desert Flour Bakery family (or as Rosemary likes to say "The DFB in the VOC"). "We have something for everyone to enjoy and for many fans, we bring back memories of songs at a certain time in their lives" Frankie recently stated. His innate ability to create an infectious beat and Rosemary's impressive vocals keep audiences coming back. It's about feeling good, having fun and really enjoying what you hear. Be sure to make your reservation by calling the Desert Flour Bakery at (928) 284-4633. The Desert Flour Bakery is located at 6446 State Route 179.

Blankenship Deserves Far Worse, Says Father of Mine Disaster Victim
A man who lost three relatives in the 2010 UBB mine disaster says Blankenship got off easy.
Nathan Place
Updated Apr. 13, 2017 4:05PM ET / Published Apr. 06, 2016 4:25PM ET
Tommy Davis, who lost his son, nephew and brother in the Upper Big Branch Mine disaster of 2010, says the company's chief deserves much worse than a year in jail.
Outside the courthouse where ex-CEO Don Blankenship was sentenced to one year in prison for violating mine safety laws, Davis emotionally told reporters he was outraged by the sentence.
"This man has no remorse at all," Davis said, visibly shaking. "I miss my family. He hugged his, and all he gets is a year."
Davis said in the six years since the disaster, Blankenship has never approached him or any of the other victims' loved ones to apologize.

I know this is not a medication question so I hope it's ok to ask here. I was in the ER and the DR ordered a blood test based on my history of stroke. The insurance company is refusing to pay it, calling it an experimental test. Any suggestions. Neither party will contact the other to try to sort this out. The insurance company suggests the hospital resubmit because it could be a coding error but the hospital refuses. I am not convinced it is a coding error.
Thanks to both of you for your replies. I am thankful progress is being made and it is good to hear that after this length of time more progress is possible.
I had a stoke in September, diagnosed in October and started PT in December. Since the start of PT my balance has improved and fatigue has lessened significantly. My affected side has grown a little stronger overall. All this is great. However, I have a weakness in and around my knee area that has not improved or perhaps even gotten worse. Even when I am sitting sometimes it feels very fatigued. My PT is nor more a fitness routine. Am I missing something I should be doing or considering which could help with this?
Thanks Heather for that response. I do now think I may have tried to push too fast too hard. I am or at least was a very high energy person so it is hard to gauge this sort of thing. I appreciate the idea that you cannot push through fatigue which is my natural instinct. I do have some flexibility in my work and am considering what to do but pretty sure I need to make some changes.
I had a minor stroke in September which was diagnosed mid-October. I took the following week off and felt much better by the end of that week. I returned and this is near the end of my second week back. I am struggling. My struggle is that I feel like I am moving backward as a result of the stress of work. Fatigue, anxiety, and fog seem to be getting worse especially this week. Did I go back too soon? I had these symptoms before the diagnoses and they got worse after but then improved before I came back to work. This is frustrating. Thanks for any feedback or sharing of experiences.
Thanks to all of you for your welcoming me and also for the advice. I have a friend who is a physical therapist who gave me exercises I can do at home. Just started them and found out I need to work on my balancing which I did not realize. Was wondering if increased anxiety is normal after a stroke and if that ever improves?
I had what can only be described as a minor stroke in the thalamus. This has caused numbness, fatigue and some anxiety. The numbness seems odd to me because it changes. For example. I can wake up some days with a very mild case of numbness on the left side of my body. At some other point, I might feel a more extreme numbness in my foot. Has anyone else experienced changing levels of numbness like this? Why does this happen? Also, is it likely that over time these conditions will improve at all? Should I be getting physical therapy?


This Paper sets out the response of the Hong Kong Housing Society and the Administration to the suggestions made by some purchasers who have bought flats under the Sandwich Class Housing Scheme.
2. The Housing Society is Government's agent in implementing the Sandwich Class Housing Scheme (SCHS). Currently two projects (1,906 units) have been completed and a further eleven projects (10,160 units) are under construction. Seven of these projects were pre-sold during 1997 and early 1998 and will be completed during the remainder of this year and early 1999.
the Housing Society will subsidise purchasers' mortgage costs by reimbursing purchasers the difference between prime rate and the bank's best mortgage interest rate for the first three years.
4.	Recently, some purchasers sought further assistance from the Housing Society in the form of applying flexible discount rates to the selling prices, providing full buy-back guarantee to and reduction of the Full Market Value (FMV) of flats that have been sold. The Administration and the Housing Society have considered these requests carefully and concluded that such demands cannot be acceded to.
5.	The proposals to adopt a flexible discount rate system retrospectively and to reassess the FMV of SCH flats that have been sold will set an undesirable precedent whereby contractual obligations entered into can be varied because of changing market conditions and price fluctuations. This will also have serious implications on other subsidised housing schemes such as the Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) and the Private Sector Participation Scheme (PSPS) of the Housing Authority (HA). In addition, as the selling proceeds will accrue to the Housing Society entirely whilst Government will only recover the full premium when the flats are sold in future, the introduction of a choice of discount rates will reduce the Housing Society's revenue, and affect its cashflow since it has to remit part of the selling proceeds to the purchasers.
6.	Although the Housing Society is providing subsidised flats for sale similar to the Housing Authority (HA), it operates quite differently from the HA as far as its financial arrangement is concerned. The provision of full buy-back guarantee by the Housing Society will have serious implications on the financial position and contingent liabilities of the Housing Society.
7.	The Housing Society and the Government appreciate the difficulties faced by some purchasers. To this end, the Housing Society has agreed to assist buyers by sharing banks' losses in default cases for the first five years and providing an interest subsidy for the first three years of bank mortgages. The Housing Society has secured the support of a number of banks for these arrangements.
8.	As regards the issue of Usable Area, since there is at present no standardised and commonly recognised definition or method of calculating Usable Area, the Housing Society will continue to provide prospective purchasers information on Saleable Area, the definition of which has been agreed upon by relevant professional institutions and the Consumer Council. The feasibility of deriving a standard definition of Usable Area is being examined by the relevant professional institutions, Consumer Council and the Government.


Article XV squadrons were Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand air force squadrons formed from graduates of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (1939) during World War II.
These units complemented another feature of the BCATP, under which personnel from the Royal Air Force (RAF), Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) were placed in a common pool, and assigned to Article XV and RAF squadrons – in Europe, the Mediterranean Theatre, Africa and South-East Asia – according to operational needs.
The RAAF, RCAF and RNZAF also formed non-Article XV squadrons, which performed home defence duties and saw active service in various parts of the Pacific Theatre.
Negotiations regarding the BCATP, between the four governments concerned, took place in Ottawa, Canada during late 1939. The Air Training Agreement (sometimes known as the "Ottawa Agreement" or the "Riverdale Agreement", after the UK representative at the negotiations, Lord Riverdale) was officially signed on 17 December 1939.
Under Article XV of the Agreement, graduates from Dominion air forces were to be assigned to squadrons either formed by their own air forces, or with a specific national designation, under the operational control of a local air force, in most cases the RAF. These became known as "Article XV squadrons." In addition, Articles XVI and XVII stipulated that the UK government would be responsible for the pay and entitlements of aircrews trained under the BCATP. Nevertheless, these personnel and any squadrons formed for service with the RAF, under Article XV, would belong to the three Dominion air forces. This was largely an initiative of the Canadian Prime Minister, Mackenzie King, during the negotiations with Riverdale.
During the war, 44 Canadian, 17 Australian and six New Zealand Article XV squadrons were formed. In practice – and technically in contravention of Article XV – most personnel from Dominion air forces, while they were under RAF operational control, were assigned to British units. This was generally due to practical staffing considerations. Similarly, many of the Article XV squadrons contained few airmen from their nominal air force when they were first formed. However, by the end of the war this had generally been rectified. Canada made a greater insistence on its airmen going specifically to RCAF operational units overseas, ensuring that the identity of its national squadrons was preserved. In January 1943 Canada was also able to form their bomber squadrons into a separate wholly RCAF formation within Bomber Command (No. 6 Group), commanded by a Canadian air vice-marshal. This was something the Australians and New Zealanders did not achieve.
Several other RAAF and RCAF units, which were not covered by Article XV, were also under RAF operational control (see below). Initially, there was no cross-posting of personnel to or from these squadrons by the RAF and other Dominion air forces, although this requirement was relaxed later in the war.
The remaining dominion, South Africa, was not a signatory to the BCATP and the South African Air Force (SAAF) did not form any Article XV squadrons. However, South Africa provided training facilities for some Article XV personnel, and many SAAF units took part in the East African, North African and Italian Campaigns. Furthermore, as the war progressed, personnel from other Dominion air forces were transferred to SAAF units and vice versa, in North Africa, the Mediterranean and Italy.
Southern Rhodesia (later Zimbabwe) was not technically a Dominion and was therefore not a signatory to the BCATP, although aircrews from other dominions were trained there. In 1940, the small Southern Rhodesia Air Force was designated No. 237 (Rhodesia) Squadron RAF. Two other RAF squadrons, No. 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron RAF and No. 266 (Rhodesia) Squadron RAF were also formed; both had significant numbers of Rhodesian personnel.
No. 75 (New Zealand) Squadron RAF had a status similar to the Rhodesian squadrons, and was not officially an Article XV squadron, although it was staffed primarily by RNZAF aircrew during the war and was officially transferred to the RNZAF in late 1945.
While RAF units were not covered by Article XV, three British squadrons had a similar status: they were stationed in Australia, under RAAF operational control, for part of the war. These units were: No. 54 Squadron RAF, No. 548 Squadron RAF, No. 549 Squadron RAF and No. 618 Squadron RAF.
A further four squadrons served outside North America during the war: No. 162 Squadron RCAF, which in 1944 was transferred from RCAF Eastern Air Command to RAF Coastal Command, from airfields in Iceland and Scotland and; three Air Observation Post (AOP; artillery spotter) squadrons, composed of RCAF and Royal Canadian Artillery personnel: No. 664 Squadron RCAF; No. 665 Squadron RCAF and; No. 666 Squadron RCAF.
No. 118 Squadron (later 438 Sqn), No. 125 Squadron (later 441 Sqn) and No. 127 Squadron (later 443 Sqn), who had been part of Eastern Air Command.
However, most of the RCAF Article XV squadrons were formed overseas. Domestically the Home War Establishment of the RCAF, which consisted of Eastern and Western Air Commands, had at its peak 37 squadrons.
Following the end of the war and termination of the BCATP, the RCAF squadrons covered by Article XV retained their numbers. Furthermore, home-based, non-Article XV squadrons were renumbered in the 400-series. During an expansion of the RCAF in the early 1950s the numbers 444 to 449 were used, and – following the 1968 unification of the three service branches – a Canadian Army helicopter squadron became known as 450 Squadron (a name that overlapped the RAAF numbers).
Australia formed 17 Article XV squadrons, out of a total of 79 RAAF squadrons, during World War II. While 18 squadrons had been originally planned for service with the RAF, No. 465 Squadron was never formed.
The remaining 57 RAAF squadrons served under the operational control of the RAAF or United States Army Air Forces, in the South West Pacific Theatre during World War II.
When some Article XV squadrons and RAF units were transferred to RAAF operational control, from 1943 onwards, they retained their original numbers.
All the Australian Article XV squadrons were disbanded after the end of the war. Since 2005 four of the squadrons have been re-formed by re-designating RAAF intelligence and air traffic control units.
On 17 April 1941, a secondary agreement was signed by the British and New Zealand governments, to form a total of six Article XV squadrons for service with the RAF, from RNZAF personnel.
The New Zealand Article XV squadrons and individual RNZAF personnel in RAF units (like their RAAF and RCAF counterparts) were equipped, supplied and funded by the UK government (see above). However, as a rule, the New Zealand government and RNZAF allowed the UK government and RAF to exercise operational command and administration control of the New Zealand Article XV squadrons. As a consequence, these units have become widely regarded in New Zealand as "RAF" squadrons and are usually referred to by names following the style "4__ (NZ) Squadron RAF". Nevertheless, the official emblems of the six New Zealand Article XV squadrons refer to them as "4__ Squadron, Royal New Zealand Air Force", and some historians, such as Bill Gunston have referred to them similarly. As Gerard S. Morris explains: "although the squadron badges carried the name Royal New Zealand Air Force ... 485 Squadron was referred to informally as 485 (New Zealand) or 485 (NZ) and never as 485 Squadron, RNZAF (italics added)." In New Zealand, only units controlled directly by the New Zealand government and operating entirely in the Pacific Theatre are regarded as "RNZAF" units.
No. 75 (New Zealand) Squadron RAF, a heavy bomber unit, was not officially an Article XV squadron although it was composed mainly of RNZAF aircrew and the entire unit was transferred from the RAF to the RNZAF following the end of World War II.
Many individual New Zealanders also joined the RAF itself before and during the war. Several became aces (including "Cobber" Kain, Al Deere, Colin Gray and Brian Carbury) and/or senior commanders (such as Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Park and Air Marshal Sir Arthur Coningham[note 1]).
↑ Squadron information from Government of Canada Access date: 13 October 2007.

Bryce quotes J. L. Granatstein, regarding British reactions to the Agreement: "The Chancellor of the Exchequer [Lord Simon] was gloomy, pointing out to the War Cabinet that he had sent no congratulatory telegrams after the signing of the [air training] agreement. He had not agreed that Canada could insist on unlimited units of the RCAF being provided at the expense of the United Kingdom taxpayer (p 50)."

At first, it might not seem like the obvious choice for the leading specialist warranty provider to champion world-class athletic achievements. But for us, it was a no brainer.


The FGN Bond market traded on a relatively flat note, with yields marginally higher by c.2bps on the day. We however witnessed slight offshore interest on the 2028s which was the most actively traded bond during the session, with yields lower by c.10bps on the ticker.
We maintain a slightly bearish stance on the market, in view of the forthcoming FGN bond auction and reissuance of a long tenor OMO bill (14.90% eff. yield) by the CBN.
Yields in the T-bills market repriced higher by c.30bps as the CBN surprised the market with the re-issuance of a long tenor OMO bill in addition to its short and mid tenor offerings. The Auction was oversubscribed by c.238%, with the CBN eventually selling a total of c.N293bn of the N100bn offered. Stop rates were left unchanged on the 91-day bill while they declined significantly to 12.98% and 13.04% on the 182-day and 350-day bills respectively.
We expect the market to be largely driven by demand interests from lost out bids at today's OMO auction. Barring a renewed OMO auction by the CBN, the market should trade on a slightly bullish note tomorrow.
Rates in the money market trended higher by c.6pct as the OMO auction by the CBN took system liquidity to an estimated negative position of c.N117bn from c.N176bn positive levels opening the day. The OBB and OVN rates consequently ended the session at 16.00% and 17.25% respectively.
At the Interbank, the Naira/USD rate remained unchanged at N305.90/$ (Spot) and N356.92/$ (SMIS). The NAFEX closing rate in the I&E window weakened slightly by 0.02% to N360.47/$, whilst the market turnover rebounded strongly to c.$700m due to renewed FPI inflows chasing the OMO offering by the CBN. The cash and transfer rates at the parallel market however remained unchanged at N357.80/$ and N364.00/$ respectively.
In the NGERIA Corps, we witnessed slight interests on the Access 21s Sub and FIDBAN 22s.

Protection in good time does not only reduce risks but protects against far-reaching consequences.
What do I have to consider for myself in order to provide my family's financial security in the future?
Our offspring is not only emotionally depending on us parents, but also financially. Hence it is important that you do not only mind your kid's protection but also your own.
Protect yourself against financial implications of e.g. occupational or total disability, illness or death. If the worst comes to worst also your kids are affected.
We present you the most important legal provisions as well as all necessary private safeguards.
We have specialized in counselling of young families.
As finance and insurance brokers we develop individual solutions for our customers for many years.

Oriented strand board (OSB) has a greater load-bearing capacity than milled wood panels. OSB is particularly suited as sheathing on walls, floors, sub-flooring, roof decking and is a versatile, less expensive alternative to plywood. Flame Safe fire retardant OSB sheathing is manufactured from layers of thin wooden strips, arranged in cross-oriented layers, compressed and bonded together with synthetic resin adhesives and wax, and Flame Safe fire retardant coated. The OSB wooden strips are usually from the Poplar and Aspen trees, but can also be from the fast growing and smaller trees. OSB panels have similar properties to plywood, but OSB has no internal gaps or voids, is uniform and less expensive.
Flame Safe fire retardant OSB (oriented strand board) and rim board is particularly suitable for load bearing applications and is Class A fire rated. This is especially important for commercial, industrial or residential applications to assist compliance with the new 2012 I.R.C. section R501.3 exception 4 fire rated assembly code requirements (ASTM E119 Fire Test of Building Materials). Hourly ratings are assigned to only complete assemblies of structural materials for buildings, including walls, floors, ceilings and roofs. It is important to note that hourly ratings have no reference to any single component of a complete assembly.
Flame spread ratings are based on the ASTM E84, ANSI/UL723, NFPA 255: Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials (the ASTM E84, UL723 and NFPA 255 are the same), the test measures the rate which the flame spreads over the substrate being tested (test specimen) and the degree of smoke developed. Classification rating are [ASTM E84 CLASS A, UL723, TYPE I] f.s. 0-25 [ASTM E84, CLASS B, UL723 TYPEII] F. S.26 -75 and [ASTM E84, CLASS C, UL723 TYPEIII] F.S. 76-200. The flame spread rating is determined in the first 10 minutes of the test. The ASTM 2768-11 TEST FOR EXTENDED DURATION SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS OF BUILDING MATERIALS, This standard uses the apparatus and procedure of test method ASTM E84 with the total test period extended to 30 minutes.
The Flame Safe high intumescent fire retardant swells as a result of heat exposure, converting combustible gases and tars to non-combustible carbon char causing the surface to bubble-up and thereby creating a barrier between the fire and the treated material. The carbon char is a poor conductor of heat, thus protecting the substrate.
This test method provides the relative flame spread of experimental coatings using small test specimens. By calibrating the 2-foot tunnel with Test Method E84-rated fire retardant coating, results obtained by this test method should be indicative of those obtained with the large specimen in the Test Method E84 tunnel. This test method determines the protection a coating affords its substrate and the comparative burning characteristics of coatings by evaluating the flame spread over the surface when ignited under controlled conditions in a small tunnel. In addition to the experimental flame spread rate, the weight of panel consumed, time of afterflaming and after-glow, char dimesions, index, and height of intumescence may be measured in this test.
The advantage of Flame Safe OSB is it's shear value, through it's thickness, is twice that of plywood and it's zero flame spread rating thus Flame Safe OSB is the product of choice for webs of wooden I-joists.
Careful storage and handling is required to maintain the integrety of the OSB, thus the OSB panels should be protected from rain and accidental soaking. Store flat in an enclosed, dry building - OSB can be cut by a hand or power saw.
Most fire retardant products presently on the market do not have testing by accredited third party testing agencies to back their claims.

Police chased the 'unresponsive' driver of a Tesla S that was on Autopilot for 7 miles in California. How can that happen?
In the early morning hours, California Highway Patrol chased a grey Tesla S for an unfathomable seven miles down Highway 101 as the driver slept, police said.
Redwood City Area CHP officers said they observed Alexander Joseph Samek, a local Los Altos politician, driving at around 3:30 a.m. PST on Nov. 30. Police followed Samek with lights and siren on, but he remained "unresponsive," and "appeared to be asleep at the wheel," according to the arrest report.
Assuming that the car was on Autopilot, police drove in front of Samek and "began slowing directly in front of the Tesla in hopes that the 'driver assist' feature had been activated and the Tesla would slow to a stop as the patrol vehicle came to a stop," the arrest report said. Samek was charged on suspicion of driving under the influence.
But what is befuddling transportation analysts and Tesla watchers is that the chase could even go on for that long. Tesla's "Autopilot" feature requires a driver to touch the steering wheel every minute, or the system alerts the driver and gradually brings the car to a stop. It seems that in this case, Autopilot may not have worked, or the driver somehow subverted the process, experts say.
The wheel of a Tesla Model S P100D, May 8, 2018.
Tesla declined to comment on the accident or confirm the car was in Autopilot mode. But on Sunday night, Musk tweeted: "Default Autopilot behavior, if there's no driver input, is to slow gradually to a stop & turn on hazard lights. Tesla service then contacts the owner. Looking into what happened here."
Exactly. Default Autopilot behavior, if there's no driver input, is to slow gradually to a stop & turn on hazard lights. Tesla service then contacts the owner. Looking into what happened here.
In a follow-up tweet, Musk said that Autopilot could not distinguish between different types of emergency vehicles, but that it would be able to in the near future. "We're adding police car, fire truck & ambulance to the Tesla neural net in coming months," he wrote.
Redwood City CHP is familiar with the Tesla Autopilot feature in part because of a fatal crash the agency investigated in March. A 38-year old engineer at Apple died after he did not place his hands on the wheel in time when the car was in Autopilot mode, Tesla said.
The March crash is being investigated by the National Transportation and Safety Board.
Dan Edmunds, director of vehicle testing at Edmunds, an automotive research firm, has been reviewing partially automated vehicles, and called Tesla's Autopilot a misleading term for an "overhyped automated cruise control system." He said it was difficult to come up with an explanation for such a long car chase, and it underscored shortcomings with Tesla's safety features.
"Certainly somebody could defeat the one minute timeout that allows you to put your hands on the wheel and the car could go longer," Edmunds told ABC News. "Cadillac's Super Cruise system would not have allowed you to behave this way because Super Cruise does something that Tesla doesn't do and should do. It has sensors look at your head to see which way it's pointed to make sure your chin's up and not down against your shirt, and also looks at your eyeballs to see where they're looking. So even if you're head's up, and you look off to the side, it will warn you and eventually disengage."
"The fact that it doesn't monitor the driver's head position and line of sight is really a major shortcoming," Edmunds said. "Just because somebody has their hands on the wheel, maybe the guy's leaning on it, passed out, with just enough force to make it think that he's got his hands on the wheel. The car isn't really sure what the driver's looking at. It doesn't matter if you have your hands on the wheel or not, it matters if you're looking out the windshield at the cars ahead."

UNITED NATIONS, July 1 -- Amid writhing dancers, drums and a soprano saxophone, Colombia on Thursday night at the UN promoted its candidacy for the Security Council in 2011-2012.
In a more cloak and dagger fashion, a subtext was that the UN should not be speaking with the FARC rebels. Under the banner of children and armed conflict, a diplomat complained, the UN is seeking to give credence to the rebels, who are losing. One size, the diplomat said, does not fit all.
Up on the stage, with the East River as a backdrop, Colombian dancers moved quickly. Some Ambassadors gaped. This, one said, is what Security Council reform should be all about.
Also working hard was Uzbekistan's Permanent Representative. He spoke to Inner City Press, emphasizing his country's bona fides despite the closure of the border. He lobbied the UK and other Permanent Five members. He was more mobile than the wait staff, which distributed lamb chops and small bowls of ceviche.
Of under secretaries general, those of management and public information were visible. Turkey's Ambassador stood appreciating music. Brazil's greeted all and sundry. Both voted no on Iran sanctions. While Iran did not appear, North Korea put in an appearance. Out the window ships passed by.
Russia's Vitaly Churkin was in attendance, and was asked by a journalist-- not this one -- whether a family member working for Russia Today let slip that he might take over from Lavrov. Churkin denied it all. There: for the record.
Colombia's swag bag contained a pound of Juan Valdez coffee, in a small burlap bag one could imagine on a burro. They have an office in Beijing. That, as they say, is the future.
Footnote: Sadly, the Delegates' Lounge where this took place might soon be a thing of the past. Due to UN planning, a week ago Aramark stopped food service in the UN cafeteria at 2:30 instead of 7:30. Now the buzz among employees is that the Delegates' will close, due to lack of business. What made the UN, the UN, is all falling by the wayside. Diplomacy is suffering, but no one seems to care.
