(2) The Subject Country in these reviews is China. (3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise.

The Commission did not include C&M tires of 39 inches and higher in the original determinations. (4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total domestic production of the product. In its original determinations, the Commission defined one Domestic Industry consisting of producers of the Domestic Like Product. (5) The Order Date is the date that the antidumping and countervailing duty orders under review became effective. In these reviews, the Order Date is September 4, 2008.

Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission five-year reviews are advised that they may appear in a review even if they participated personally and substantially in the corresponding underlying original investigation. The Commission's designated agency ethics official has advised that a five-year VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:02 Jul 31, 2013 Jkt 229001 review is not considered the ''same particular matter'' as the corresponding underlying original investigation for purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post employment statute for Federal employees, and Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR 201.15(b)), 73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). This advice was developed in consultation with the Office of Government Ethics. Consequently, former employees are not required to seek Commission approval to appear in a review under Commission rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the corresponding underlying original investigation was pending when they were Commission employees. For further ethics advice on this matter, contact Carol McCue Verratti, Deputy Agency Ethics Official, at 202–205– 3088.

(http://www.usitc.gov). The public record for these reviews may be
viewed on the Commission's electronic docket (EDIS) at http://edis.usitc.gov.
Background.--On September 4, 2008, the Department of Commerce
published antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of
certain off-the-road tires from China (73 FR 51624-51629). The
Commission is conducting reviews to determine whether revocation of the
orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably
foreseeable time. It will assess the adequacy of interested party
responses to this notice of institution to determine whether to conduct
full or expedited reviews. The Commission's determinations in any
expedited reviews will be based on the facts available, which may
include information provided in response to this notice.
Definitions.--The following definitions apply to these reviews:
(1) Subject Merchandise is the class or kind of merchandise that is
within the scope of the five-year reviews, as defined by the Department
of Commerce.
(2) The Subject Country in these reviews is China.
(3) The Domestic Like Product is the domestically produced product
or products which are like, or in the absence of like, most similar in
characteristics and uses with, the Subject Merchandise. In its original
determinations, the Commission defined one Domestic Like Product
coextensive with Commerce's scope. The Commission did not include C&M
tires of 39 inches and higher in the original determinations.
(4) The Domestic Industry is the U.S. producers as a whole of the
Domestic Like Product, or those producers whose collective output of
the Domestic Like Product constitutes a major proportion of the total
domestic production of the product. In its original determinations, the
Commission defined one Domestic Industry consisting of producers of the
Domestic Like Product.
(5) The Order Date is the date that the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders under review became effective. In these
reviews, the Order Date is September 4, 2008.
(6) An Importer is any person or firm engaged, either directly or
through a parent company or subsidiary, in importing the Subject
Merchandise into the United States from a foreign manufacturer or
through its selling agent.
Participation in the reviews and public service list.--Persons,
including industrial users of the Subject Merchandise and, if the
merchandise is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations, wishing to participate in the reviews as parties must
file an entry of appearance with the Secretary to the Commission, as
provided in section 201.11(b)(4) of the Commission's rules, no later
than 21 days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
The Secretary will maintain a public service list containing the names
and addresses of all persons, or their representatives, who are parties
to the reviews.
Former Commission employees who are seeking to appear in Commission
five-year reviews are advised that they may appear in a review even if
they participated personally and substantially in the corresponding
underlying original investigation. The Commission's designated agency
ethics official has advised that a five-year review is not considered
the ``same particular matter'' as the corresponding underlying original
investigation for purposes of 18 U.S.C. 207, the post employment
statute for Federal employees, and Commission rule 201.15(b) (19 CFR
201.15(b)), 73 FR 24609 (May 5, 2008). This advice was developed in
consultation with the Office of Government Ethics. Consequently, former
employees are not required to seek Commission approval to appear in a
review under Commission rule 19 CFR 201.15, even if the corresponding
underlying original investigation was pending when they were Commission
employees. For further ethics advice on this matter, contact Carol
McCue Verratti, Deputy Agency Ethics Official, at 202-205-3088.
Limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under
an administrative protective order (APO) and APO service list.--
Pursuant to section 207.7(a) of the Commission's rules, the Secretary
will make BPI submitted in these reviews available to authorized
applicants under the APO issued in the reviews, provided that the
application is made no later than 21 days after publication of this
notice in the Federal Register. Authorized applicants must represent
interested parties, as defined in 19 U.S.C. 1677(9), who are parties to
the reviews. A separate service list will be maintained by the
Secretary for those parties authorized to receive BPI under the APO.
Certification.--Pursuant to section 207.3 of the Commission's
rules, any person submitting information to the Commission in
connection with these reviews must certify that the information is
accurate and complete to the best of the submitter's knowledge. In
making the certification, the submitter will be deemed to consent,
unless otherwise specified, for the Commission, its employees, and
contract personnel to use the information provided in any other reviews
or investigations of the same or comparable products which the
Commission conducts under Title VII of the Act, or in internal audits
and investigations relating to the programs and operations of the
Commission pursuant to 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3.
Written submissions.--Pursuant to section 207.61 of the
Commission's rules, each interested party response to this notice must
provide the information specified below. The deadline for filing such
responses is September 3, 2013. Pursuant to section 207.62(b) of the
Commission's rules, eligible parties (as specified in Commission rule
207.62(b)(1)) may also file comments concerning the adequacy of
responses to the notice of institution and whether the Commission
should conduct expedited or full reviews. The deadline for filing such
comments is October 15, 2013. All written submissions must conform with
the provisions of sections 201.8 and 207.3 of the Commission's rules
and any submissions that contain BPI must also conform with the
requirements of sections 201.6 and 207.7 of the Commission's rules.
Please be aware that the Commission's rules with respect to electronic
filing have been amended. The amendments took effect on November 7,
2011. See 76 FR 61937 (Oct. 6, 2011) and the newly revised Commission's
Handbook on E-Filing, available on the Commission's Web site at http://edis.usitc.gov. Also, in accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3
of the Commission's rules, each document filed by a party to the
reviews must be served on all other parties to the reviews (as
identified by either the public or APO service list as appropriate),
and a certificate of service must accompany the document (if you are
not a party to the reviews you do not need to serve your response).
Inability to provide requested information.--Pursuant to section
207.61(c) of the Commission's rules, any interested party that cannot
furnish the information requested by this notice in the requested form
and manner shall notify the Commission at the earliest possible time,
provide a full explanation of why it cannot provide the requested
information, and indicate alternative forms in which it can provide
equivalent information. If an interested party does not provide this
notification (or the Commission finds the explanation provided in the
notification inadequate) and fails to provide a complete response to
this notice, the Commission may take an adverse inference against the
party pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act in making its
determinations in the reviews.

Acting Secretary to the Commission.


Thanks for letting us know! This will be corrected and updated in guidebook when the next update gets pushed out ... but I'm not going to stop you guys if you want to have 25 hour KH gathering. That would be awesome.
I understand that, but this is the busiest time of the year for them and it will take time for that team to reply back. As the badges could take up to 10 business days to deliver, they will reach out to anyone that has emailed them and help them as quickly as they can.
I don't work in Registration, so I don't have access to the system , but here is the information that I currently have from them. Keep in mind that it may take longer than normal to receive a response from registration@ACen.org because this is the busiest time of year for them. Badges can take up to 10 business days to deliver depending on where you live and how your post office processes mail. Badges were mailed on 4/12, so 10 business days will fall on tomorrow (4/26). If you do not receive your badge e-mail registration@ACen.org and they will be able to assist you further. If badges bounce back to us in the mail, they will also reach out to you and let you know.
As someone who works on the team managing ACen's Guidebook, it is something we will be using again this year and it will be made available to attendees at some point before the event. Freya is correct that it typically releases a few weeks before the event, but we have no problems releasing it before then if it's ready (regardless of whether it's a weekend or not). Now there are a lot of reasons why it's released earlier or later. The app goes through a lot of testing to not only make sure it's accurate, but we're taking full advantage of the apps features to give you guys an awesome tool to plan your weekend. I know, a very long winded way of saying soon, but we'll be sure to announce it on our website and all the social things when it's ready ^_^.
I know team Registration has been working really hard preparing badges with mailing for shipping. We'll be making an announcement on our website and all our social media pages when they go out. From what I'm hearing it should be soon :).
Hey guys! I'm coming back!
I don't work in the Panel Programming department, but I can pass along your question. Hopefully we'll have an answer for you soon :).
There will be a presence from both companies at Anime Central this year. Of the two companies, only FUNimation will have a booth in our exhibit hall; however, both companies will be leading multiple Industry panels over the course of the weekend. They are expected to bring the awesome and are excited to be coming, so be sure to check out their panels and stop by the FUNimation booth :).
ACen Mobile App is Live!
The app should work in without network service; however, if there are schedule changes posted to the application you will not receive them. So be sure to double check times of the events you want to see when you get to the convention for changes.
Final Fantasy Distant Worlds @ Chicago Symphony Orchestra!
Thanks for bringing this up. The official ACen hashtag will be #ACen for the weekend, and we'll be tweeting our account this info later today.
Design the 2011 Convention Badge Art!
The game is fun, and a throw back to games like "Streets of Rage." The lack of online co-op is disappointing. It also bothers me that your friends can't drop in on the middle of a level and join in, they need to start with you otherwise they have to wait. Other than that though, I don't have any gripes about the game. The awesome soundtrack is worth the $10 for the title.
PS3: Is this bundle a good deal?
^_^. The sooner you get on, the sooner I can help you get all your goodies!
It actually has been renewed for a 3rd season already. So wheeee!
Hate to burst everyone's bubble, but Megan Fox will not be in the 3rd Transformers movie. She's being replaced though by a model, so you will have eye candy.
What Did You Do With Your Time While The Forums Were Down For Updating?
Final Fantasy Distant Worlds Meet @ Ravinia Festival!
We do ask that you bring a photo ID to purchase a badge. It's only required for people over the age of 16 though.
A school ID is fine. We require anyone above the age of 16 to show a valid photo ID when you pick up your badge. If you are under the age of 16, we understand that you may not have an ID and do not require it.
To be more specific, this doesn't mean you will receive it on Tuesday. Depending on how far away you are from Chicago, it could take a longer period of time to reach you.

You are here: Home > Housing > Another housing privatisation disaster
Another housing privatisation disaster
When the Ministry of Defence sold its armed forces housing in 1996, it already looked a bad deal: 57,000 houses were sold for £30,000 each, well under half the average house price at the time. Overnight, the sale created Britain's biggest private landlord and gave it a blue chip tenant – the MoD. Yet the company that won the contract, Annington, had just been set up and had no experience of management on such a scale.
Soldiers and their families have to live close to their work, which usually means in houses built on or near military bases, often three-bed semis with ample gardens. For decades they were managed directly by the MoD. The task isn't straightforward: soldiers may be away for months at a time, they can be moved around at short notice and the bases are often far from towns and public services. The MoD was also badly behind with repairs: by 1996, a backlog of over £400 million of work had accumulated.
A well-planned contract could have led to proper management and repair, financed part of the cost from sales of surplus properties, and made sure the private sector shouldered any financial risk. Instead, Annington was offered a cash cow. House prices were increasing by 6 per cent annually in the late 1990s but the valuation assumed they would go up by only 1 per cent. Annington could sell off surplus stock and pocket most of the profits. Its income from the houses it kept was guaranteed, as the MoD leased them back whether or not they were occupied. The deal also left the MoD responsible for repairs and management, with the Treasury allowing it to keep only £100 million from the sale to help pay for them. The rest had to be funded from what was left of the rent deducted from soldiers' pay.
Soon after the sale, the National Audit Office concluded that Annington was likely to make an annual return of 9.7 per cent. Twenty years later, having looked again, it found the actual return is more than 13 per cent. The government is at least £2 billion and possibly more than £4 billion worse off than it would have been had it hung onto the houses. Because the backlog has never been tackled, the MoD foots a £11,000 repair bill every time it hands a property back to Annington. A fifth of the houses it leases are unlet and produce no rent. Yet Annington is paid even if a house is empty, behind the wire of a military base, awaiting demolition. The MoD seems blasé in the face of the NAO's criticism, claiming that the NAO has vindicated its view that 'the surge in house prices could not have been predicted.'
Annington is a subsidiary of the private equity firm Terra Firma, which also owns Four Seasons Health Care, the care home company struggling with huge debts that could yet put 17,000 elderly residents onto the streets. Terra Firma's chairman, Guy Hands, was described to the FT by an industry colleague as an 'acquired taste, like Marmite'. When the MoD lease agreement ends in 2021 Hands is looking to hike up his charges in line with private sector rents.
The MoD made another blunder in 2014 when it stopped managing and repairing the houses itself and put the work out to tender. Within two years, the new managers were described by a Commons committee as 'badly letting down service families'. The contractor, CarillionAmey, is an offshoot of Carillion, the outsourcing firm that has just gone into liquidation, but it says it has 'no concerns' about its ability to continue trading. Military top brass say they would be better off managing the houses themselves.
I talked to several MoD managers when the first privatisation took place. It was clear some key questions were never asked. If handling a dispersed property portfolio was problematic for the MoD, which had done it for decades, why would inexperienced companies set up to bid for the contracts do a better job? Why did the Treasury keep most of the money from the original sale, leaving theMoD with rising costs and assets it didn't own but had to repair? Who ignored the experienced non-profit landlords, whether local councils or housing associations? Couldn't empty homes that weren't on bases have been rented to families on local waiting lists? Even before twenty years of mismanaging public assets had begun, handing the homes over to social landlords seemed not just the right solution, but the obvious one.

Great piece John. Just opened it up. Another shocking example of selling the family silver with no safeguards in this case for the public purse or military personnel and their families. Are you going to add social media links to your blog posts (as I am too inexperienced to construct the link myself)

Q: Debugging a Scala project (IntelliJ Idea 12 and sbt) I've seen a few articles describing how to debug Scala applications, but nevertheless I want to ask it again due to the reason that all those articles are outdated and all things change very quickly in Scala world.
I use IntelliJ Idea 12 + sbt (not a plugin, a plugin doesn't work for some reason).
So how do I do that nowadays?

A: IMO, you are best off keeping SBT and Intellij separate, as they are two different concerns. One is for building, and the other is for developing.
Here are the steps that I typically go through to get a solid Scala/Intellij development environment up and running for a new Scala project.

*

*Step 1: Install Scala Intellij Plugin

*Step 2: Create a simple sbt project - details here

*Step 3: Add the fantastic sbt-idea plugin to your sbt config

*Step 4: sbt gen-idea

*Step 5: Open project in Intellij 12

*Enjoy debugging, syntax highlighting, code assist and all of the other nice IJ features.

On the sbt side, I typically keep a terminal open, with sbt running so that I can rapidly test things outside the context of Intellij.

WHO sustainable-development initiative wins United Nations award
During his visit to Serbia in July 2012, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon visited the WHO-supported SWIFT project for sustainable waste handling
The SWIFT(the Sustainable Waste management Initiative For a healthier Tomorrow) initiative, implemented by WHO in Serbia, won first prize in the "greening" category at the UN21 Awards, presented by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on 18 September 2012.
Open to all informal waste collectors in Belgrade, SWIFT enables them to join a cooperative that has office and sanitary facilities, and equipment including refuse lorries, presses, sorting facilities and occupational health and safety equipment. This enables members of the cooperative to provide waste management services and cooperate with other organizations that collect and recycle waste.
Through the initiative, the Roma (who are the main waste collectors) are recognized as waste-management experts who carry out important tasks to support municipalities in managing solid waste. Upgrading their expertise in managing waste in a healthy way enables Roma to increase their income, ensure a healthier work environment and improve their social circumstances.
SWIFT is led by WHO with support from national and international partners.
About the UN21 Awards
The UN 21 Awards recognize staff initiatives that promote innovation, efficiency and excellence in the way the United Nations delivers its programmes and services. This year, 77 projects were submitted for consideration. Nominations were accepted in seven different categories.

Every day, we are confronted with a wide variety of advertisements, entertainments, labors, issues, challenges and opportunities that are vying for our attention. As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are also encouraged, advised and prodded to focus our attention on Jesus and His Word, the Bible. There is a tremendous lack of deep Bible knowledge in many of us, including myself. This lack of knowledge is due to a lack of focus and dedication to reading God's word, a lack of deep, heart felt prayer and a lack of godly meditation. We should carve out time each day to read God's word, pray and meditate on his Word.
1) Start simple. Sign up for a daily Bible verse service that is delivered to your SmartPhone. There are texting based services available as well as SmartPhone apps, email services, etc. These services will present us with a daily opportunity to read a tiny morsel from God's Word. Not much, but an improvement over nothing. There are several services that can do this for you for free. Here are two: http://www.bible-sms.com/ and http://www.thedailybibleverse.org/.
2) Locate a few simple Bible verses that you find encouraging. BibleGateway has a great list of the top 100 most reviewed Bible Verses. (https://www.biblegateway.com/blog/2009/05/the-100-most-read-bible-verses-at-biblegatewaycom/). This is a good starting point. Print these out and put them near your bed, or on your refrigerator, or somewhere else prominent. Read one or two each day.
3) Purchase or print a few Bible passages in print form that you find attractive or meaningful. Hang them in your home. As you walk past this print each morning or afternoon, stop and read it until you can recite it without looking.
4) Pray each morning before climbing out of bed.
5) Pray each evening before climbing into bed.
6) Install an audio Bible application on your SmartPhone. There are several freely available audio Bibles. Listen to them on your drive to work or school. Listen to them at times that work for you. Listen to this instead of music one day a week.
7) Obtain a few inexpensive copies of the Bible. The DollarTree in my area often carries copies for just $1. The books are not the highest quality, but the words are the same. You can also print out the book of Psalms fairly easily as well. Place them in key areas in your home such as in the bathroom or near the coffee maker or any other place you tend to spend a bit of time each day.
7) Start reading one chapter of the book of Psalms a day. Most of these are very short and can be read in a couple minutes. Read them in the bathroom or while waiting for coffee to brew.
8) When you are ready, advance to reading 5 chapters of Psalms a day.
After some time of incorporating these techniques into your life (all or in part), you may discover that there is more time to read the Bible than you realized.


The new messages added by bug 566194 can easily force the content to be too large for the window, and there is no horizontal scrollbar.
A horizontal scrollbar needs to be displayed if it is required.
I tried this on my Windows/XP laptop which only has 1024x768 resolution, and the situation is worse there.
Even without the sidebar displayed, and the window maximized, the right hand side of the window, including the vertical scrollbar is off screen, so not only do you have no horizontal scrollbar, but the vertical scrollbar is positioned off the screen.
Even 1280px of horizontal space are not enough to display the "Addon compatibility..." message.
FWIW I don't think a horizontal scrollbar is the way to go here as it will be very ugly. Maybe letting the text wrap could be an option here?
Yes, the text should wrap.
Adding the text of the status-message ("Add-on compatibility checking is disabled") to bug summary, to make it easier for people to find this bug (and reduce the number of duplicates).
Probably worth a quick manual test I mean.
Will this land on the nightlies soon?

Acupuncture can improve the elasticity of the cerebral arteries and improve blood supply to the brain lesion.
Acupuncture can improve the basic electrical activity of cortical cells, causing the clinical symptoms of stroke patients improved rapidly.
Acupuncture can improve the body microcirculation, promote recovery of limb function.
Acupuncture can lower blood lipid and improve immune function.
When is the best time for acupuncture treatment for stroke?
The best time to start acupuncture treatment for stroke rehabilitation is determined by the type of the stroke. It is better to start acupuncture treatment as soon as possible for an ischemic stroke. However, a few days delay is suggested for hemorrhagic stroke until the bleeding blood vessel has clotted before the acupuncture treatment.
If you are suffering from and struggling with stroke or have some post-stroke conditions, please give acupuncture a try, you will not be disappointed!

Previous: The Collaborator
The wind blew Lunete's thick, long hairbehind her as she looked over the ledge. She wasn't afraid of heights; that was unthinkable. However, the jagged ridges that crisscrossed the valley floor far below was another story.
"Don't you worry. You'll do fine…" Her father called out a few paces behind her.
Lunete glanced over her shoulder and used a hand to hold back the amber-blonde locks that tried to whip at her face.
His smile was meant to embolden her…it failed as he added softly, "This time."
Next to him was her older brother, Balen, a slightly smaller version of their hefty father with the same shoulder length blond hair, but his beard lacked the fullness and grandeur of the older man's. Balen gave her an encouraging grin. "You can do this, Luna."
But can I? As is, she'd have died the last two times if not for…Not this time, she gritted her teeth, determined. Lunete was well past the age of Renascence. She couldn't face everyone's disappointment a third time.
She shook her head, then inhaled deeply with a shiver, though she couldn't be cold.
'You're ready my love,' the tranquility in her Mother's Mind-voice instantly settled Lunete.
'I'm scared Mother.' Lunete chewed on the inside of her cheek, then licked her lips as she clenched her fist.
'I know, my Dear. Remember, I'll always be with you.' Lunete took another clearing breath, taking comfort in her mother's promise.
She shuffled her feet forward until her toes hung over the edge. Just lean forward. She tried to convince herself, but her body refused to obey.
"If you're not ready, you can try again next year," her father suggested, though they both knew it was unheard of after the age of eighteen.
"She won't be able to show her face if she backs out now," Balen whispered to their father so she couldn't hear.
Lunete grimaced at the words. Her enhanced hearing was a recent development, one of the gifts that she thought was a sure sign it wastime, yet it wouldn't help her achieve Renascence if she wasn't truly ready.
She already hated to go into town. The whispering was bad enough. What she couldn't stand were the scornful looks and the occasional patronizing comment, 'Poor Old Frode Strom couldn't find Renascence, tried four times. The unfortunate wretch eventually wandered off into the Wastelands…never to be heard from again'.
A rumble, like faraway thunder sounded and Lunete looked down the valley. A red dragon entered the valley from the south. It rose gracefully toward the ridge where Lunete was perched.
"It's now or never," she said softly, her voice shaking.
She inhaled, filling her lungs, then leaned her head forward. The rest of her unwilling body followed as she toppled off the ledge.
The air tore at her clothes, tears flooded her eyes. At first, Lunete was exhilarated, the sky seemed endless as she scanned the horizon, her entire body felt alive. Then she looked down and realized it was definitely not endless.
Panic struck Lunete like the wind blustering up the mountainside and she wondered if she had made a huge mistake.
She suddenly remembered to spread her arms and legs out. The slapping of her top and pants fluttering, as she dropped through the air, drowned out any other sound.
Lunete tried to keep her eyes open in spite of the wind, her attention consumed with the deadly ridges that raced toward her. She strained to turn her head to the south and spotted the Red swooping down toward her. No! She couldn't let the dragon get her.
Damn. She had become distracted and was nearly out of time. She squeezed her eyes shut and focused on a tiny point of light in her mind that stood out like a torch in the dead of night. A spot that had always been there since early childhood but had doubled in size over the last year. However, no matter how hard she concentrated nothing happened.
She could Sense the Red nearly on her. Lunete twisted to the side, she could Sense the dragon's claw slip just past her hip.
The creature screeched and shot upwards.
Lunete knew the Red would try again, but she also knew there wasn't enough time.
Lady of the Sun and the Fire of the earth, she prayed to the Goddess, Take my life and grant me Renascence or accept my Spirit in death.
Lunete uttered a soft whimper and emptied her mind, resigned to her fate. She couldn't face her family, her community again. Her body relaxed as she submitted to the Goddess' Will.
It was then, her thoughts silenced and her own will submitted to the Goddess, that the tiny light flared into a blazing inferno, the warmth that always filled her veins turned into a fiery storm. There wasn't any pain, in fact, just the opposite…it comforted her like an old friend.
Engrossed with the light and fire, it took her a moment to notice how the air current felt as it flowed under her wings. WINGS! Lunete eyes burst open, her head snapped left, then right. Bronze, nearly golden wings tilted slightly as she started to climb up to meet the Red.
She beat her new wings and flew past the Red, who turned and followed. They circled each other, dipping and rising, as they glided gaily high above the valley.
She was lost in the moment, until the Red turned to descend. Lunete dove and reached the valley floor first. She had been told what to expect, but as her rear talons touched the ground, the reality of landing was far different from her imagination, and she tumbled forward several times.
Laying on her side, a grumbling growl escaped her maw unlike any sound she had ever made, then she shut her eyes as a bright light encompassed her.
Something tickled Lunete's nose and she used her hand to brush strands of tangled amber-blond hair from her face. She paused, held up the hand and stared at it. I've changed back. She wiggled her fingers. Amazing. Lunete had dreamt nightly of being able to shift like everyone else but had all but given up hope. Now, reborn in the Goddess' light, she would finally fit into her community.
Lunete sat up as the Red touched down gently and approached her.
A flash of light surrounded the dragon and it quickly faded away, replaced with a familiar slim, yet muscular, red headed woman who continued toward Lunete.
"You did it," her mother nearly shouted with excitement.
"It was incredible," Lunete responded enthusiastically. "I was trying too hard. I just had to surrender to the Goddess."
Lunete's mother, Chelinda, hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "The Goddess has blessed you with her gifts."
As they separated, Lunete's nose crinkled as she asked, "Why couldn't I do it earlier?"
Chelinda shrugged. "The Goddess' time is not our time."
Lunete frowned at the answer, but let it go…for now, and glanced up. "I can't believe it." She waved her hand across the sky. "It felt so natural."
"The landing, not so much." Her mother chuckled.
Lunete blushed.
A clatter sounded from the trees across the valley and two bears charged out of the forest.
They bounded across a ridge, and dropped down into a small ravine, hidden from view.
Light flickered from the gully, then her father and brother came over the crest.
"You were great Luna. It…it was spectacular." Balen was animated, he waved his hands back and forth imitating the dragons soaring through the sky. "I knew you could do it."
"Ah huh." She glared at him for a moment, then grinned. "It was so exhilarating."
Her Dad hugged her, his bear-like strength would have crushed anyone without dragon like bones. He held her at arm's length, stared intently into her eyes, and said, concern mixed with pride, "The Essence in you is…it's so intense." He glanced over at his wife, his brows narrowed. "I can Sense it. It's almost overwhelming."
Chelinda put a hand on Lunete's shoulder, and spoke in a reverent tone, "I believe it's why the Goddess waited so long to bless her. Our daughter is meant for something special."
Luenete sighed, her shoulders drooped. Just when I thought people would quit talking about me.

From 1963 to the present, a veritable epic tale's worth of discoveries that continue today…
THE DISCOVERY OF THE SITE IN 1963
The ancient city of Lattara was discovered in 1963 following a deep-ploughing. The first surveys, led by Henri Prades and the Painlevé Archaeological Group (GAP), showed strong potential for future study of the southern Gallic civilization and its prospects at the start of the Roman Era.
Their work raised public awareness and increased political interest in the historical and cultural significance of the site. Accordingly, the Minister of Culture, the Regional Council of Languedoc-Roussillon, the General Council of the Hérault, the City of Lattes, and the governing body of French museums mobilized themselves to assure the protection of these relics.
MOVING INTO THE FORMER FARMHOUSE OF SAINT-SAUVEUR
An archaeological center, including a municipal museum, research laboratories, a library for documentation, and an excavation headquarters, were installed in the old Saint-Sauveur house, on the edge of the site.
During the 19th century this farm belonged to the family of the painter Fédéric Bazille. The farm is depicted in one of his most important landscapes, done in 1863.
The architect of the museum, Jean Massota, wanted to keep a memento of the era and thus the museums garden fountain is dedicated to the Montpellierain painter.
DESIGNATED "MUSÉES DE FRANCE" IN 1986
Inaugurated in 1986, the museum was designated a "Musées de France". Originally managed by the City of Lattes who owned it, the museum was transferred to the Agglomeration of Montpellier in January 2006.
Since 2001, the museum has kept its archaeological reserves in a former cellar near the site, "la cave Bonnier", which allows for the deposit and stockpiling of excavated items in optimal conditions.
