What if you could greatly simplify IT while saving money and setting up your business for growth? You can. We can help.
We start with your business goals.
Small and midsize companies are often thought to be the growth engine of the economy. As market conditions improve, these companies need to assess the critical factors necessary to support growth. The common "growth ingredients" are people, processes, and technology.
Over the past few years, we have all learned a lot about doing more with less and being smart about keeping costs down. At the same time, many companies have relied on aging infrastructure and technologies and are now at a place where some decisions need to be made to support their business objectives: simplifying IT, saving money and growing the business.
Clucic Technology Services and Microsoft believe you can cost-effectively improve technology to help you grow your business –and we have a plan to help you get there.
Many experts agree that a top priority for small and midsize companies should be to migrate from older technologies. The reasoning is simple.
• Represent security and regulatory concerns.
• Are more expensive to maintain.
• Don't provide the necessary flexibility to support growth.
Believe it or not, the simple action of upgrading your aging servers and operating systems can significantly reduce costs, and set you up for some amazing benefits, including virtualization.
Microsoft software makes it easier for companies to simplify the way they manage and benefit from their IT investments.
Spending less time worrying about the technology and more time advancing the business is a goal for most businesses.

William Pitt (the younger) was born on 28 May 1759 at Hayes Place, Kent, the second son of William Pitt (the elder), later 1st Earl of Chatham and himself Prime Minister. He matriculated at Pembroke College, Cambridge at the age of 14, and later proceeded to Lincoln's Inn to study law. Unable to afford the expense of standing for Parliament (his finances remained a source of insecurity throughout his life), he was only able to embark on a political career through the influence of Sir James Lowther, who secured his election as MP for Appleby in 1781.
In 1782 he was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer (then a relatively minor post) in Lord Shelburne's administration. When, in December 1783, George III dismissed the Fox-North ministry that had succeeded Shelburne's government, it was to the 24-year-old Pitt that the king turned to serve as both Prime Minister and Chancellor, endorsed by the outcome of a general election held early in 1784, which belied opponents' characterisations of the youthful premier as a royal puppet. The election also buttressed Pitt's preferred stance as an independent politician by freeing him from association with Lowther: Pitt won the University of Cambridge's seat in the House of Commons.
If Pitt's political fortunes would be determined in part by the impact of events such as the French Revolution and Wars, and George III's mental illness (the Regency Crisis of 1788-9 threatened to favour the Prince of Wales' political associates at Pitt's expense), his early years as premier evidenced a determined commitment to reform of the British state. He offered in some ways a new 'reformist' model of active, pragmatic prime ministerial leadership followed by many of the most significant political figures of the next half century of varying party allegiances (fittingly, since although often described posthumously as a Tory, Pitt would have understood himself as within a Whig tradition).
Many of his initiatives stalled or were only partial successes. An attempt at limited parliamentary reform was abandoned after a parliamentary defeat in 1785; he addressed the British governing relationship with both India and Ireland with mixed results. It was partly at Pitt's prompting that William Wilberforce took up the issue of the slave trade. Among his most striking initiatives were financial and administrative reforms with an eye to efficiency and the elimination of corrupt practices, and a serious attempt to reduce the national debt through the creation of a sinking fund in 1786.
The second half of Pitt's ministry, however, was dominated by the consequences of the French Revolution and the outbreak of war with France in 1793, after he expelled the French ambassador following the execution of Louis XVI. Although claims of a Pittite 'reign of terror' in response to domestic radicalism were exaggerations, Pitt offered a clear and unequivocal defence of the established order to those who rallied to him during the 1790s. This included a substantial section of the Whig party led by the Duke of Portland, leaving only a rump in opposition led by Pitt's long-time opponent, Charles James Fox.
The wartime situation made it more difficult for Pitt to pursue his administrative reforms and also made significant financial retrenchment impossible: Pitt was forced into a series of expedients to raise the vast sums necessary to sustain the war effort, including in 1799 Britain's first income tax. The international context also made a resolution of Irish issues more pressing. Following the rebellion of 1798,arose the Act of Union of 1800, a major triumph for Pitt, which saw the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland come into being on 1 January 1801.
Pitt believed the Act of Union required as a corollary the admission of Catholics to Parliament, but found himself opposed both by Cabinet colleagues and more importantly the King, who saw this as incompatible with his coronation oath. The impasse led to Pitt's stepping down as Prime Minister on 14 March 1801.
He was Britain's youngest ever Prime Minister, entering office at the age of 24.
He fought a duel 27 May 1798 on Putney Heath against George Tierney, a Foxite MP. Pitt wrote to his mother; "….The business concluded without anything unpleasant to either Party".
He introduced the first Income Tax in Britain in 1799.
Any info on Signal and Martello built under the Pitt government on the county cork coast to protect ireland from a french landing please? These were built 1804 and all 80 and 50 respectively were completed by 1806.

Peaceful protest outside RAC Arena as thousands flock to ACL event
15 Aug 2021 | Filed under Local,News | Posted by admin
A small group of protesters from the LGBTIQA+ communities gathered outside RAC Arena on Saturday night as thousands of Western Australians flocked to The Truth Of It, a presentation from the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL).
The presentation sees Martyn Iles, the Australian Christian Lobby's Managing Director, answering questions about faith, politics and morality. Sharing the name of his YouTube presentations, the seminar has toured the nation.
The protest group included members of the queer communities, alongside parents and siblings who joined to show their support.
For Cherie Wallace, attending was an important way for her and her husband to show their children that they had their love and support. The mum of three told OUTinPerth that it was important for them to stand by their children.
"We support all of our kids, but I sometimes think the best way to support kids who are in the LGBTIQA+ community is to actually show your face. It's okay to let them know at home that you love and support them, but I think sometime what they really need to see is that real physical presence at something like this which is really important to them.
"I think its important for other people to see that you can be, what people would consider to be a 'normal parent', and you can still support and love your kids. It's really important for us to let our kids know that we publicly support them." Wallace said.
Wallace said she didn't give much credence to the joint promotion from the ACL and companion organisation True Identity, who have toured Western Australia promoting the idea that it's possible for people to change change or suppress their sexuality via counselling and prayer.
"I wonder how many people are sitting in that area right now, who are actually gay or bi, and they're just lying to themselves and lying to everyone around them, because that's what they need to do to fit into their own community, I think that's really sad."
"The people here are not just gay, or trans, or bi, or non-binary. These people here are being as true to themselves as they possibly can, and supporting other people. The amount of people going by who are just honking their horns in support has been really affirming for them."
River Clarke, one of the organsiers of the protest, said it was important for people to be told that their lives are valid.
"We're out here today to say, LGBTQIA+ people are loved and supported. No matter what the Australian Christian Lobby say, we're out here to say being queer is valid and supported," Clarke said.
"Tonight's event is something our community are now used to. Blatant homophobia and transphobia."
Lynn Maclaren calls on McGowan government to update legislation
Former Greens MLC Lynn Maclaren, said the McGowan government needed to act quickly to stop what amounted to torture on WA youth, calling for legislation to ban practices that aim to suppress or change a person's sexuality or gender identity.
"The Labor government lacks leadership on this issue – WA has fallen behind other states." Maclaren said, noting that it has been 20 years since legislation was last reviewed.
"There is a conservative Christian movement pushing to wind back the clock and break our community. Homophobic and transphobia cannot be accepted."
Maclaren said Western Australia urgently needed to revisit legislation and bring the state into line with other jurisdictions in Australia.
"We need to look to Tasmania and Victoria in changing laws to protect our community, and it needs to be done now."
Co-chairs of City of Perth LGBTIQA+ inclusion group speak out against ACL
Paul van Lieshount Hunt and David Goncalves, the co-chairs of City of Perth's LGBTIQA+ inclusion Advisory Group, dropped by the protest and thanked participants for their action.
"I don't understand why the Australian Christian Lobby are more focused on us as gays or trans people, rather than the homeless," Hunt said. "The Australian Christian Lobby are well known for their "underground" churches where they practice medieval operations on children."
David Goncalves, said the church's event was not representative of the city.
"LGTBQIA+ people are welcome in this City, I would hate for one event to undermine the good work the City of Perth is doing to become a beacon for culture, arts, and community."
Peter Abetz says ACL has been unfairly described as promoting conversion therapy
When the Australian Christian Lobby first attempted to book Western Australian venues they faced difficulty as the Perth Theatre Trust introduced a new policy that prevented the group from booking state operated venues. The ban was overturned by Culture and the Arts Minister David Templeman.
Taking to the stage on Saturday night, Peter Abetz, the ACL's State Director, who is also the Deputy Mayor of Gosnells, told the crowd of 4,500 people that society was having it's Christian foundations removed.
"People often say that politics is downstream of culture, but the reality is that politics actually shapes our culture. Many of the laws and the regulations that get passed that are pulling the Christian foundations out from under our society are often the results of the efforts of small well-funded but well organised pressure groups." Abetz said calling on Christians to become more involved in politics.
Abetz said the landslide election result which saw Premier Mark McGowan command a majority of seats in the state's parliament was worrying as it may lead to legislation that would remove Christians schools right to recruit and dismiss employees in line with their religious beliefs.
"They may use their muscle to push through their cherished aims." Abetz said, suggesting that Labor-left wanted to criminalize any expression of opinion that does not align with their "gender ideology".
Abetz said the ACL was not supporting any activities which forced people or coerced them into changing their sexuality or gender identity.
"Nobody supports that, but the problem is the activists have redefined conversion therapy to mean anything that does not suit their agenda." Abetz said. The former Liberal MP said that the laws introduced in Victoria could see children removed from their parents care, and Christians being jailed for up to ten years.
"We believe that any person who wants to change from their LGBTI identity should have the right to access whatever services they believe will help them achieve whatever orientation or gender identity they want."
Abetz accused Albany Pride and the Western Australian media of falsely describing their Real Lives presentation that has toured the state as a 'conversion therapy roadshow'.
It was revealed that under Peter Abetz's leadership the Western Australian membership of the Australia Christian Lobby has swelled to over 20,000 members, making them a larger political force than most major political parties.
ACL leader Martyn Iles says people are being taught to be transgender
Addressing the crowd, ACL Managing Director Martyn Iles said at his core he was a preacher who wanted to spread the work of the Bible.
In a speech that addressed religious freedom legislation and abortion laws, Iles also shared his thoughts on transgender youth, telling the audience they should all be concerned about the growing number of teenagers receiving treatment for gender incongruence.
"The other thing that bothers me, from a humanitarian point of view, is the rise and rise of young people who are going into gender clinics around this country, increasing by thousands of a percent at a time, hundred and hundred in treatment right now, taking hormones which means that they will be sterilised."
Iles said the increase in teenagers seeking treatment was a result of educational programs such as Same Schools, Respectful Relationships and The Good Society.
"This isn't happening because people are really of their own volition coming up with gender dysphoria in their mind. It's because it's being put there. It's being taught to them.
"What did Jesus say?" Iles asked the audience, "He said those who stumble children, are better for them if a millstone was hung around their neck and they're cast in the depths of the sea."

Is All Glass Safe for Candles?
ByFiona Swinton Last Updated: June 10, 2022
There are some types of glass that should not be used for creating candles. Glass that is suitable to be used in the production of candles ought to be dense, polished, and temperature resistant. Because of this, using jars like jelly jars, mason jars, and other kinds of jars used for pressure preserving are suitable for the production of containers for candles. Containers made of glass are quite common in the candle-making industry, as they should be. Soy wax, which has a low melting temperature, is used to make the overwhelming bulk of candles produced nowadays.
Are Glass Containers for Candles Safe?
Glass can shatter or fracture, and it is much more likely to do that if the temperature that is supplied to it is delivered unevenly or is focused on one region in particular. Glass that is resilient to high temperature can be manufactured to reduce the likelihood of the glass shattering or fracturing when exposed to high temperatures. However, even glass that has been certified by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) does not come with an assurance that it will not shatter or split.
In lighting candles in containers, as with any other type of candle, the appropriate amount of precaution must be applied. Put the candle in a holder that can withstand the temperature, and you won't have to worry about damaging the area it's resting on. Hold the candle at a safe distance from anything that might catch fire. Be certain that the wick remains in the middle of the candle and that it is extinguished when the wax level goes too near to the base of the glass container.
What are the Glass Containers Suited for Candles?
Jars including jelly jars, mason jars, or any other form of canning container are examples of acceptable glass containers for candles. This is due to the fact that they were meant to be utilized in environments with high pressure and temperature, which resulted in them being strong, resistant to high temperatures, and difficult to shatter.
Candles can be stored in apothecary jars without any risk, making them among the most common types of jars sold by distributors of candle supplies. In addition, several of the most well-known candle manufacturers operating in the world today make use of them in their products.
Vibe Jars
Vibe jars are suitable for the containment of candles. In addition, they are an outstanding product for artistic and aesthetic candles due to the fact that their structure is one of a kind and draws attention. Distributors of candle supplies also commonly stock vibe jars in their inventories.
Tureen Jars
Jars made of tureen are suitable for use with candles. Given the fact that they are both short and stubby, they are frequently used as a component in the production of candles that include more than one wick. Because of this, they are perfect for making candles with multiple wicks.
Candles can be used in mason jars without any risk. Due to the fact that Mason jars were intended for use in the process of canning, it was necessary for them to be able to withstand high temperatures and also compression. This would work wonderfully as a receptacle for a candle.
What are the Glass Containers Unsafe for Candles?
Not all glass could be used to light a candle. Candles must be used in glass that would be meant to resist extreme temps, such as canning or candle-holder glassware, in order to keep them from catching fire.
You should never put a candle in a cup of coffee. Because it is made of thin glass, it is prone to breaking when exposed to the extreme heat of a candle. Nevertheless, a hovering candle in a champagne glass is a smart alternative. Even though a drinking glass may not be the most attractive vessel for a hovering candle, it's the only option if you really want to utilize the glass whatsoever. If you cut a rose long enough so that the blossom is towards the top of the glass and fill with water, you may make a vase like this at home. This is where you should set your drifting tealight if you'd like it to look its best.
Do not risk breaking the vase by placing a candle inside it. Despite the fact that one could use a candle, these also weren't intended to withstand the high heat produced by a candle. Do not attempt unless you're already going to be making a kind of hovering candle.
Do not allow a candle to set inside of a glass of wine. If the wick, as well as the light, are just too large, there is a considerable rise in the probability that perhaps the glass may shatter due to the fragility of the material. Nevertheless, if you want a hovering candle decoration, it is a really fantastic alternative to consider. Having that said, the internet has a wealth of samples of candles made from wine glasses, but personally, We like to come down on the side of safety. It offers me the comfort of knowing that we do not have a wine or champagne glass filled with melted candle wax that has the potential to backfire at any moment.
Never place candles in ceramic or clay containers of any kind. Because the face is permeable, this could absorb wax, which may then cause this to become combustible. We like to emphasize that you must never use some kind of combustible material for candles. For example, We've seen people use wooden receptacles on Pinterest, which is a poor idea. Use an only smooth glass that has been specifically developed to withstand temperature and pressure. Even if the glass is fragile and therefore not built to withstand high temperatures or compression, it is possible to still utilize it to make a floating candle.
Is it Safe to Reuse Old Candle Containers?
Consider reusing the containers that hold candles for other purposes, such as a chocolate bowl, a planter for roses, a vase to grow cactus, or to keep safety pins, keys, or chopsticks. Candle jars offer a wide variety of alternatives for storage and management.
What Is the Common Cause of Breaking Candle Glass?
When the high temperature is given to glass in an inconsistent manner, it can cause the glass to shatter or fracture. Once one section of the jar starts to become significantly warmer than that of the remainder of the jar, this produces the optimum environment for a fracture to occur. The hot spot swells, putting strain on the glass container because of the reaction.
The candle jar is subjected to tension, which ultimately results in breaks. When using a candle, it is possible for the wick to become off-center and for all of the wax to dissolve at a certain point during the process. In the event that this occurs, blow out the flame, and move the wick so that it is centered again when the candle cools down. Because of this, a break might be avoided.
Is it Possible for the Candle Glass to Explode?
Whenever glass gets too hot, pressure builds up inside the material, which might eventually lead to the object exploding. When you let a candle blaze for an excessive amount of time, the fire will get frighteningly close to the container's side or bottom. Because of this, there is a possibility that the candle will blow up. As was just discussed, all of the increased temperatures are absorbed by the glass, which then becomes stressed as a result of the difference in temperature.
If the wick is supposed to burn straight down to the base of the container, at some level it will be more beneficial to just dispose of the residual wax inside the garbage than it would be to continue letting the wick remain burning. If there is no wax in the bottom of the glass container, then the heat will have nowhere else to go but up further into the glass jar itself. Because of this, there is the possibility of a break.

Mr. Speaker, it is with pleasure that I stand today and raise the issue of what is before us, a seriously flawed budget bill. The Liberal Party has been consistent from the moment the bill was introduced to the point at which we sat for hours in committee, working to try to send a strong message to the government of the day.
We are disappointed in one sense because we understand what it is that the government is attempting to do with the budget bill and how it is being used to pass what many, including myself, would argue is a piece of legislation that should have taken into consideration a whole session of legislation. There are numerous pieces of legislation that should have been brought to the chamber, but instead the government—a majority, Reform Party-style government—has lumped all of the amendments and changes to legislation into one bill and tried to sneak them in through the budget. We within the Liberal Party believe that is undemocratic and is not the way the House should pass budget legislation.
We were disappointed when we tried to raise the issue in committee and we saw the New Democratic Party, which claims to be an opposition party, go onside with the government. It really surprised a number of people. I do not know how many times NDP members stood in their places and voted with the government on this legislation. I would suggest it was a thousand plus times. Time and again the NDP failed Canadians by not recognizing the importance of what was taking place in committee. Had NDP members understood what was taking place, had they understood what their role in the House really is, they would have opposed this legislation that was being brought in through the back door. The Liberal Party opposed it. I am very disappointed that the NDP did not fulfill its responsibility in terms of trying to oppose the budget bill.
That is why I was a bit surprised when the opposition House leader stood in his place to complain about the system. It was just a few days ago when the NDP was sucked in by the government. Those members overruled the chair in co-operation with the government in order to limit debate on the clause-by-clause discussion, which was critically important. It should have taken place. We would have expected that in finance committee, at the very least, the government would have recognized the need for debate on every clause. Every clause should have been debated on this budget during committee. That is what the Liberal Party wanted to see happen. The Liberal Party wanted to see a legitimate vote on each clause. We wanted to be able to point out to the government the many flaws within the budget.
I sat on the immigration committee. I did not like what was happening in that committee when we had the portion within the budget that would change immigration. It should have been a separate piece of legislation. That section went before immigration committee.
I had hoped for the opportunity to not only address it at the immigration committee but to also address it at the finance committee. That would have been the right thing to do because there is a need for amendments. In essence, what the government is intending to do through the budget bill with respect to immigration, which should require a separate bill, is establish three types of visitors who would come to Canada.
The first type of visitors are American citizens, who are welcome to come at any point, whether by hopping on a plane or crossing the border, as long as they have a valid passport. We all know that the Liberal Party is a very strong advocate of the easy access cross-border movement to encourage Americans to come to Canada. We want to see that.
The second type of visitors are citizens from countries where a visa is required, an area which creates all sorts of problems. We could have debated the issue of getting visas for hours and hours. It poses a serious problem. We need to do a lot more in that area. Parents and siblings are being denied entry into Canada, through visiting visas, to participate in events such as funerals, weddings, birthday celebrations, graduation ceremonies, bar mitzvahs and the like. Far too often they are being rejected. This is an issue that should be brought up in the immigration committee.
I will now come to the relevance of the creation of the third section within the legislation, the visitors. I suspect very few Canadians are aware of the fact that, now, no matter where people are living in the world—with the exception of American citizens from the United States or citizens from a country where a visa is required—they would be required to go online and acquire electronic approval before they could come to Canada. That is a significant change. That means people from London, Australia, many European countries and countries all over the world can no longer just board a plane with their passports and come to Canada. Rather, they have to be pre-approved before doing so.
One might ask what is wrong with that, but the biggest problem is that the government has not done its homework on the issue. The minister of immigration has no idea of the details of the program.
Fortunately, I had the opportunity to ask some questions in committee, because we were able to get some of the stuff off to committees and ask some basic questions. The department could not provide the answers in terms of what the anticipated costs were of implementing the program. The government had no idea.
I wanted to be able to ask those questions at the finance committee. We know the department of immigration, through the minister of immigration, had no idea. I suspect and was hoping that the Minister of Finance and the finance committee would know the answers, but we were denied that because the Conservatives were in a hurry to pass this legislation through committee, in an underhanded way and with the support of the New Democratic Party. What is so shameful is that the NDP has collapsed like a stack of cards with a light breeze going through it.
The New Democrats should be ashamed of their performance. They say that they object to the bill and do not want to see it passed. Actions speak louder than words and their actions the other night are a complete abrogation of any sort of opposition to the bill.
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I would like to point out that what was just said is completely inaccurate. The NDP does not support the bill.
That is not a point of order. I will stop you right away.
Questions and comments, the hon. member for Chatham--Kent--Essex.
Mr. Speaker, I listened with some interest to the hon. member across the way. He talks in defence of his party, how the Liberals rallied to the cause and fought for their constituents and the rest of Canada.
However, would he comment on this? It is a fact that we spent, I believe it was in excess of 50 hours, from 3:30 in the afternoon on Wednesday until 7:30 in the afternoon on Friday. The majority of that time was changes that the Liberals wanted to make to lakes and rivers and not just in a cluster, but one after another. We witnessed department people sitting there for who knows how long on the first day and then the rest of the time. All that time and money was spent for no apparent reason.
Could he comment on that and tell Canadians why the Liberal Party would waste that kind of time and taxpayer money?
Mr. Speaker, there is the reality of what we do and there is a cost for that. Many civil servants are deeply offended by what the bill would do and appreciate the Liberal Party's fight to try to get the government to do the right thing. This is at the same time that the government and the NDP support increasing the size of the House of Commons by 30 plus MPs, at a cost of over $30 million annually. What about that cost?
In bringing together of all the legislation under the one budget bill, we spent a small amount of time on it. It should have been almost a complete legislative agenda, which normally would have had hundreds of hours of debate and questions and answers. Instead of that, the government chose to bring it in by sliding it through the back door of a budget debate.
Order, please. I would ask that we try to get three questions in each five minute session of questions and comments, which means you will have to limit your questions and answers to 45 seconds maximum.
Mr. Speaker, the hon. member has displayed not only inaccuracy, but quite frankly, embarrassing partisanship. The New Democratic Party is focused in holding the government to account and raising the substantive issues about which Canadians tell us they care. The partisanship and partisanship games that the member is displaying, frankly, are not fit for the debate on this important bill.
However, I will give him another opportunity and will ask the hon. member if he could comment on the very serious changes to the research and development grant cuts that have been made in the budget. This would seriously affect jobs, research and development, innovation and productivity in Canada. Could he answer a substantive question on that?
Mr. Speaker, one could ultimately ask why she did not even stand and want to have recorded votes for her motions in committee. She should feel somewhat shameful of the NDP's behaviour because the NDP had a choice. It could have been in committee and fought with Canadians in recognizing that the bill was bizarre, it was historic and had no merit being in committee. The member, along with the New Democratic Party, caved. It was the Liberal Party that took the battle in committee. The NDP members did not do their job. That is why they might be a little sensitive on this issue right now.
We will not let this degenerate into direct contact between individual members and other members in the House. I insist in this debate for the rest of the day, as are other Speakers, that you address all of your comments to the Chair. If you do not, you will be cut off.
Resuming debate, the hon. member for Parkdale—High Park.
November 29th, 2012 / 11 a.m.
Mr. Speaker, it is important that we have a substantive and factual debate when it comes to important legislation such as the federal budget, so let me change the tone from never-never land to the facts.
We are facing incredibly serious challenges in our country. We have consulted with Canadians right across the country. We have held public hearings and we have heard first-hand the serious concerns that Canadians have, concerns about the all-time record high personal debt that Canadians face.
We have heard about the unemployment levels, where more than 300,000 Canadians are still unemployed than were before the downturn in 2008, where youth unemployment is double that of the rest of the country and so many of our young people cannot get a start in life. They are facing very high student debt. They are starting out with incredible economic burdens, yet they cannot find decent jobs.
We have also heard about the growing inequality in Canada, the fourth highest growth in inequality of the OECD over the last 20 years, a global scourge is what the Economist magazine has called growing inequality around the world and, sadly, in Canada as well.
We have heard about the impact on people's health that growing inequality creates. We have heard about the reduction in life expectancy. We have heard about the impact of other social factors. We have heard about the lack of housing, the lack of investment in child care, in mental health strategies, the lack of a program for child nutrition and the lack of investment in pharmacare, the fastest growing cost in our health care system.
We heard from boards of trade and chambers of commerce about the lack of investment in infrastructure and the economic drag on our GDP to the tune of billions of dollars each and every year because of the lack of an infrastructure strategy and concrete dollars invested in infrastructure.
We have heard about the skills deficit, where young people in certain communities, like aboriginal communities, cannot get the skills they need to take advantage of job opportunities because the government is failing, failing first nations, failing young people, failing those facing inequality and unemployment.
Yet we see a budget that not only does not invest in health care, for example, but reduces health care expenditures to the tune of tens of billions of dollars in coming years.
We have, with Bill C-45, another massive omnibus budget implementation act. This spring we had a huge Trojan horse budget bill. We complained about it, protested about it and opposed it. We called for more time. What did the government do? It brought in an even bigger omnibus budget bill this fall and gave us less time and less opportunity to debate it. We want to have a substantive debate about the serious concerns that Canadians face.
The budget overall reduces the opportunity for Canadians to get old age security, increases the age from 65 to 67, which means more people will live in poverty. It reduces the investment in research and development tax credits, the SR&ED tax credit.
We heard from manufacturers, exporters and other experts. Concretely, this will take millions of dollars out of the manufacturing sector, out of economic development. It will cost jobs for Canadians at a time when we already face high unemployment. It will change and cut public sector pensions, and we heard from the public sector on this, and it guts environmental protection.
We saw the Environmental Assessment Act attacked, gutted, this spring. Now we see this fall, changes to the Navigable Waters Act that will basically remove the majority of lakes and rivers in Canada from environmental protection. Instead of Navigable Waters Protection Act, it becomes the navigation act. In other words, it is to facilitate navigation, changes, construction, pipelines perhaps, rather than protect our valuable water resources.
With the budget implementation bill this fall, we see changes to over 60 pieces of legislation. There are some changes here that we, as the New Democratic Party, support. For example, there is a completely new bill included in the act, the bridge to strengthen trade act, which would create a new bridge between Windsor and Detroit. We support that and think it would be a positive change. There is also a very small tax credit for small business hiring, which we support. There are also some minor changes around environmental tax credits that we support.
However, these changes are all bound up with many other changes that we do not support. For example, the bill would continue the give-away each and every year to the oil and gas sector to the tune of $1.3 billion, which we do not support. It would also make changes to the Fisheries Act, which we do not support.
The bottom line is that we have not had the time to adequately examine this massive omnibus bill. Rather than it going to other committees where, in some cases, there were just one-day meetings on it, the bill should have been divided up and appropriately studied by the relevant committees, which could have drawn upon the expertise of witnesses and members of Parliament for a thorough examination and debate to make the best decisions possible on behalf of Canadians.
The bill and this budget pretend to be about job creation, a point that I want to address.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer is saying that this budget would directly cost Canadians some 43,000 jobs. Combined with other cuts, it would probably mean more than 100,000 jobs lost. He has said that because of the budget's austerity measures, it will be a drag on our gross domestic product.
Now we have the Minister of Finance saying that the government's projections were wrong. This year, next year, the following year and year after that, their projections will be wrong to the tune of $33 billion. They are supposed to be good economic managers, but, quite frankly, they are mismanaging what is a very serious situation for Canadians. This is costing people their jobs, and it will cost even more jobs with things like the changes to the SR and ED tax credit at the same time the government is gutting environmental protections in this country.
The budget bill once again raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability. Not only would it remove accountable commissions and boards and concentrate more power in the hands of ministers, the very act of cramming everything into this one omnibus budget bill means that we parliamentarians cannot properly hold the government to account.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer had to take the unprecedented step of taking the Conservative government to court. The Office of the PBO was created by the government, but the PBO is now having to take the government to court to get basic information that parliamentarians need to do their jobs.
I want to reassert in the strongest possible terms that we are against this omnibus budget bill and the process of cramming far too many things into one bill. We are against the fact that the Conservatives are not standing up for Canadians by investing in the programs and protections that Canadians need. They are not doing the job in terms of creating employment and job opportunities for Canadians.
We will oppose this bill in the strongest possible terms. Here in the New Democratic Party, we will stand up for Canadians. We will do the job on behalf of Canadians.
Mr. Speaker, I want to commend the member for the fine job she did as vice-chair of the committee.
In that respect, I want to give her an opportunity to respond to some of the allegations made by the Liberal member who spoke before her, just to set the record straight. It is important that the House and the people of Canada know of the important work that was done at committee and what really happened for those three nights. I wonder if she would like to respond to that, given this opportunity.

Deeley Properties' investment portfolio continues to see great success.
Deeley Properties acquired a 20,000 sq. ft. industrial warehouse on an established estate in Dudley in 2016. The property was then let to ERIKS with two years remaining on its lease.
Deeley identified the opportunity to refurbish and re-let or sell the building, whilst receiving a return on cost of 8.5% until the end of the lease.
Earlier this year the property on Crackley Way was sold to Pipework Engineering Services securing a significant return for the company.
The investment at Harwell Science & Technology Campus in Oxfordshire continues to show a good return. Nuva is the current tenant at the property and Andrew Brazier, development consultant, secured an increase of over 30% in rent.
Andrew said: "The property at Harwell remains part of our core portfolio as an investment in a growing science park and we hope that following this increase we shall be negotiating a new longer lease in exchange for some improvement works to the property."
The main figures behind a new Starbucks drive-thru in Birmingham have come together to celebrate its completion.
Deeley Properties, in partnership with Ziran Land, acquired the site adjoining the Maypole Roundabout earlier this year from a private landowner to create the new café/restaurant, which has a 15-year lease.
The investment on the property, built by Deeley Construction, was sold to Custodian REIT through David Allen, of Holt Commercial, on completion.
Pat Moroney, of Deeley Group, John Liggins, of Ziran Land, and David Allen, of Holt Commercial, were key figures in the deal that saw Starbucks open in September, creating 18 jobs.
Pat said: "We saw this opportunity to work in partnership with Ziran Land to create this new Starbucks. It has worked extremely well for all parties and because of that relationship we are already looking at other very similar developments.
"It is a project where we saw potential to create value and also a new café/restaurant for the local community and perfectly fits Deeley Group's 'end to end' capabilities in the delivery of projects."
John said: "It has been an excellent project all round and it is great to have achieved completion and hand over the final property.
"It is great to have worked in partnership in this way and to have seen such a positive result."
David said: "There is strong growth in this sector and I envisage many more developments of this type both across the region and nationally."
Wade Commercial acted for Custodian REIT.

A development of over 140 affordable, family homes in Leamington has reached completion.
Known as Union Park, the £29 million development of 147 homes sits on the former Soans' motor dealership site in Sydenham. The names of classic Ford cars now mark the streets in and around the neighbourhood paying respect to the rich heritage of the site.
Matt Western, MP for Warwick and Leamington, welcomed the addition of new, affordable homes alongside housing group and developer Orbit and partners, Deeley Construction.
He said: "I would like to thank Orbit, Deeley Construction and Warwick District Council for working together to create this fantastic development. It is important to recognise the contribution Orbit has made to the local area with the Union Park development. I visited the site some months ago and I am deeply impressed with the high environmental and construction standards of these homes.
"As the former County Councillor for the area and now as the MP, I have long campaigned for more social and affordable housing so it is excellent to see this development contributing towards combating the housing crisis."
Offering canal-side living, Union Park has brought 55 homes to the open market, as well as 39 homes available for shared ownership (part buy, part rent) and 53 for affordable rent. Following high demand, all properties have now been sold or rented – just 18 months after building began.
John Carleton, group property investment director at Orbit, said: "A successful regeneration, Union Park offers affordable, family living in an enviable location. From a family business, to what is quickly becoming a thriving community, we're proud to add Union Park to our expanding development portfolio across the district."
The development, delivered in partnership with Coventry-based Deeley Construction, offers a selection of two and three bedroom houses as well as one and two bedroom apartments.
Martin Gallagher, managing director of Deeley Construction, added: "It was lovely to see a sense of community already developing – with children heading off to school and people going out to work – and it reminds you that developments such as this are about more than bricks and mortar, but creating homes for people.
"Our role in the partnership to deliver Union Park was highlighted on the day and we are thrilled with the part we have played in bringing this scheme forward from start to finish."
Orbit delivered over 2,000 new homes in the last financial year. Over the next 10 years the housing group has plans to build a further 20,000 new homes across the midlands, south and east of the country, contributing to the UK's housing growth.
A special thanks to the following people for making the event a great success, bringing to life its rich heritage:

Mr Michael Dye – Ford Corsair

A Midlands property company has broken through 500 homes mark over the past four years and is on course to deliver hundreds more properties before the end of the decade.
The Deeley Group, based in Coventry, has delivered 552 units across Warwickshire since it worked with Bromford Housing on a development in Arley, North Warwickshire, in 2014.
Through its offering as both a developer, Deeley Properties, and a main contractor, Deeley Construction, it has worked in partnership with a range of housing groups and associations on projects valued at close to £75million.
The biggest scheme was 179 units for Orbit Homes at Queensway Court in Leamington – part of a major regeneration scheme – and Deeley has worked with the company on three further projects since 2015.
The group has a further 290 units lined-up between now and 2020 including in Southam, Warwick, Leamington and Coventry.
In addition, there are potentially 92 more homes across the region that are currently going through planning, while the company has secured a place on Homes England DPP3 framework and also the WM Housing Framework.
Pat Moroney, director of Deeley Properties, said: "It's been a very positive few years for the Deeley Group and reflects our ability to deliver new homes schemes in partnership with housing groups and land owners.
"Our work, with those companies, has helped to deliver well over 500 new homes for communities in our area and will be pushing 1,000 should we be successful in achieving planning in some new schemes we have in the pipeline.
"As an SME contractor and developer, we have the agility and integrity to offer our clients an end-to-end and personal service that helps them to deliver high-quality, affordable living homes.
"We can secure the land, work with them on permissions and site preparation and then, through Deeley Construction, actually build the homes too.
"We are looking forward to the future with great confidence as we prepare to deliver even more homes for our region in partnership with our clients."
A new Starbucks drive-thru restaurant is being created on a main road into Birmingham.
Deeley Properties, in partnership with Ziran Land, acquired the site adjoining the Maypole Roundabout earlier this year from a private landowner.
The companies identified a potential use for the land and have agreed terms with Starbucks on a 15 year lease to create a new restaurant.
Holt Commercial, chartered surveyors with offices in Birmingham and Coventry, concluded an investment sale for the completed property to Custodian REIT.
It is being built by Deeley Group's contractor division, Deeley Construction, and it is anticipated it will be handed over to Starbucks in July.
Pat Moroney, a Director of Deeley Properties, said: "This is a development that shows the agility of the Deeley Group because we can bring several elements to the deal.
"We have been able to put together a package, in partnership with Ziran Land, which is attractive to Starbucks and, subsequently to an investor.
"The fact that Deeley Construction is now building the property shows another arm of the company and it is great to be part of a deal where all of the parties are satisfied with the conclusion."
David Allen, a Director of Holt Commercial, said: "This is a market that continues to expand and we are pleased to have secured a suitable long term investor for the completed restaurant. We anticipate there will be further deals in this market over the coming months and years as the market matures."
Business figures will come together to support the construction of a new home for the 2nd Warwick Sea Scouts.
The inaugural 2nd Warwick Sea Scouts Business Breakfast will take place at Warwick Hall on Friday, January 5.

Alan joined BP in 1988 and has held a wide variety of leadership roles in the trading business in Europe and the US for more than 25 years. He will reflect on how 2nd Warwick plays an important role in the development of young people.
They will be joined by former Captain of RMS Queen Mary 2 Captain Bernard Warner.
His career at sea spanned 45 years, serving his final six years as Captain of the largest transatlantic ocean liner built for the British Cunard Line since Queen Elizabeth 2 and retired in 2011.
Janette Eslick, fundraiser for the 2nd Warwick Sea Scouts, said: "It's fantastic to be able to host our first ever business breakfast and we're looking forward to welcoming business people from across the region to the event.
"The 2nd Warwick Sea Scouts has been a huge part of Warwick for more than 50 years and we are recognised as one of the best in the country. The new headquarters will enable to us to be available to more youngsters and provide greater support to the local community.
"We have some brilliant speakers on the morning, two of which are past members of our group and have gone on to make a real impact in the world of business.
"We're also delighted to be welcoming Bernard Warner, who I am sure will have some fantastic stories to share from his time at sea and how those experiences on the water have shaped his career."
Peter Deeley, managing director of Deeley Group, added: "The 2nd Warwick Sea Scouts group are an important part of the community in Warwick and we are more than happy to be supporting its plans to develop their services.

An international company based in Warwickshire is doubling the size of its Nuneaton headquarters thanks to recent growth.
Leading health and wellness retailer Holland & Barrett International has added a further 48,000 sq ft to its global headquarters at Eliot Park, which is the hub for over 1,500 stores globally.
Coventry-based Deeley Construction, which took the project through the initial design and planning process, has now completed the multi-million pound development and handed over the state-of-the-art building to the company.
Not only are staff now making the most of the extended office space, they are also benefitting from an on-site gym and nursery. The latest works will see the HQ house 500 staff when all positions have been filled.
It's the latest phase of work that Deeley Group has undertaken at the park in Nuneaton after more than 40 years of regeneration on the site.
Peter Aldis, Chief Executive Officer of Holland & Barrett International, said: "We moved to Eliot Park in 2010 and it has been a great base from which to grow the company.
"We are delighted that we have been able to expand on site to meet our plans to grow the business and we are very pleased with the work Deeley Construction has undertaken.
"It's important to us that everyone in the team is happy while they are at work and that's why we have included additional elements such as a gym and nursery, as we know these are key facilities for our staff."
Martin Gallagher, managing director of Deeley Construction, said Eliot Park had been a huge economic success story for the north of Warwickshire.
He said: "We have worked on behalf of Holland & Barrett International for many years and we are extremely proud to have completed this extension for the company.
"Eliot Park is a classic example of regeneration which Deeley Group has led over many decades and this latest phase shows Holland & Barrett's commitment to the region."

Cowboys owner: You'd better believe we're playing in front of fans this fall
Allahpundit Aug 12, 2020 8:41 PM ET
Of course it would be the g-ddamned Cowboys who decide they're too cool to take the same social-distancing precautions as everyone else.
Almost everyone else. Given the Raiders' franchise culture, they'll probably pack the stands and encourage fans to cough in each other's drunken faces as a middle finger to polite society.
The Redskins — pardon me, the "Washington Football Team" — will have no fans in the stands this year, by contrast. And no, I'm not going to make the same hacky joke about that that everyone on social media has made today.
Ah well. At least Texas hasn't had any major COVID outbreaks, right?
"The Dallas Cowboys plan on playing all of our football games and we plan on playing them in front of our fans," Jones said.
Jones said the team will adhere to any local or state protocols regarding attendance and they don't have a number of fans in mind at this point, but he said he thinks the size of the stadium and the number of suites make them capable of having people on hand while maintaining social distancing.
As of now, the state of Texas allows 50 percent capacity for sporting events.
AT&T Stadium has a capacity of 80,000. How do you feel about 40,000 people getting together to scream and cheer and otherwise project particles various and sundry at each other? (Possibly in an enclosed space, too. The stadium has a retractable roof.) Coincidentally, the Times reported this morning that scientists seem to have finally confirmed what most of the world has assumed for the past several months, that the live coronavirus can indeed be transmitted through aerosolized particles. And at a greater distance than six feet, too:
This time, the team collected air samples from a room in a ward dedicated to Covid-19 patients at the University of Florida Health Shands Hospital. Neither patient in the room was subject to medical procedures known to generate aerosols, which the W.H.O. and others have contended are the primary source of airborne virus in a hospital setting.
The team used two samplers, one about seven feet from the patients and the other about 16 feet from them. The scientists were able to collect virus at both distances and then to show that the virus they had plucked from the air could infect cells in a lab dish.
The genome sequence of the isolated virus was identical to that from a swab of a newly admitted symptomatic patient in the room.
The number of viral particles collected was small, though, leaving scientists with a new mystery of whether that was because hospital rooms are cleaned more often and more thoroughly than other indoor spaces or because the virus just doesn't last long in the air. If it's the latter then maybe there aren't that many transmissions via aerosols after all. If it's the former, hoo boy. Bad news for winter, when most of the country will be indoors.
Back to Texas. Depending on which indicators you look at, the situation has gotten either much better or is about to get worse, or both. The trend in confirmed cases is lookin' good:
The trend in deaths? Also lookin' good:
The trend in the positivity rate? Lookin' … errrrrrrr:
Weirdly, that spike in positivity may not be due to a new surge of cases. As you can see in the graph, daily testing in Texas has *dropped* lately. It may not be that cases are spiking — or falling. We can't tell at the moment which way things are moving because Texas is falling down on the job of detecting infections:
https://t.co/AhX4nBJnuv models that TX actually has 10X more cases than identified: 70K cases a day.
Another words — they are missing 90% of the cases
Yet, talk now is restarting schools, sports (especially football)
Can't really do these w/out new control measures
— Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH (@ashishkjha) August 12, 2020
Texas in uncharted territory
1. Dramatic fall off in testing
2. Cases stable
3. Spiking % of positive tests
My suspicion is that over the next week to two, hospitalizations will rise again and deaths will soon follow
We could wait. We shouldn't. Act now
Yeah, like he says, because deaths are a lagging indicator, the trend at this particular moment in time really only tells us how infections in Texas were trending two or three weeks ago. Since the state is now flying blind via reduced testing, it could be that there's been a new surge in cases but that it won't show up in the death data until two to three weeks from now. Point being, the Cowboys and every other business in the state are taking an unmeasurable risk at the moment if they open up facilities to the community. Without having a reliable sense of how much spread there is, they're potentially exposing people to a much greater chance of being infected than they think.
The hopeful counterpoint to that, summarized in this worthwhile report from MIT's Technology Review, is that there's certainly some degree of herd immunity happening in hard-hit states like Texas to limit the scope of future outbreaks. "I believe the substantial epidemics in Arizona, Florida and Texas will leave enough immunity to assist in keeping COVID-19 controlled," said Seattle scientist Trevor Bedford a few days ago — before adding, "However, this level of immunity is not compatible with a full return to societal behavior as existed before the pandemic." In other words, with true herd immunity of 60 percent or 80 percent or whatever, we could all go back to normal and the disease would slowly die out. With partial herd immunity of 20 percent or whatever we think Texas has now, we still need to practice social distancing. But distancing plus partial immunity will leave the disease to spread more slowly than it used to, which means major outbreaks become less probable.
The key point in the MIT piece is that partial herd immunity via infection is probably more effective than it would be even via vaccine because people who have been infected are more likely to be social risk-takers than people who are vaccinated in a random sample of the population. For instance, if you vaccinate 1,000 people by lottery, you'll get a few of the idiots inclined to drink in crowded bars without masks, but only a few. Most of that cohort will still be out there, unprotected and ready to head to the pub. Whereas if you have 1,000 people who've developed antibodies the old-fashioned way, chances are there'll be a *lot* of bar-hopping idiots in that group. Once they're all recovered and ready for their next pub crawl, they're no longer capable of being vectors for the virus. Suddenly infections at bars begin to drop dramatically, and with it the risk of new super-spreader events. Before you know it there's a decline in transmission across the whole population.
Between partial immunity, social distancing, and the tantalizing prospect of some unknown degree of T-cell immunity, it may be that this summer's hot-spot states realistically just aren't capable of producing another major new wave of COVID. (Look no further than New York, which continues to generate rock-bottom daily case counts despite two months of summer socializing by locals.) The only way to produce a wave would be for residents to really let down their guard on distancing measures. So … maybe no biggish crowds at football games? I don't know. Just spitballing here.

HHTD 2022 Unveils Two Concept Prototype EVs, Defines Contract and Design Manufacturing Service (CDMS) First made-in-Taiwan electric pickup and crossover hatchback
Milestone MODEL V pickup result of Hon Hai vertical integration, MIH alliance effort
Aerodynamically clean MODEL B hatchback achieves 0.26 drag coefficient
MODEL C production vehicle on the road in 2023
Prototypes of 5 EVs in 24 months
Contract design and manufacturing service (CDMS) defined for EV ecosystem
18 October 2022, Taipei, Taiwan – Hon Hai Technology Group ("Foxconn") (TWSE: 2317), the world's largest technology manufacturer and service provider, announced two, new self-developed concept prototype electric vehicles at its third annual Hon Hai Tech Day (HHTD): the MODEL B crossover hatchback and the MODEL V all-terrain, electric pickup.
At the same time, Hon Hai showcased the production vehicle MODEL C, to be delivered to its brand Customer in Taiwan next year, while showcasing key components of the EV supply chain, such as electric power steering (EPS) system, solid-state battery, silicon carbide power module and semiconductors. In addition, this year's HHTD promotes the business model of contract design and manufacturing service (CDMS) in the field of electric vehicles through the next decade.
Focusing attention on Hon Hai's "3+3=∞" strategy, C-suite charisma kicked off the event with Hon Hai Chairman and CEO Young Liu and Founder Terry Gou making their respective entrances on stage in the sleek, new electric vehicles. The keynote, delivered by Mr Liu, introduced the EVs, key components and the important research and development role of the Hon Hai Research Institute.
Hon Hai defining CDMS concept going forward
Hon Hai Tech Day goes to the roots of the Group. The date marks the birthday of the Group's Founder. "I am able to test out Hon Hai's EV creations each year on this day. It has become the highlight of my birthday!" said Mr Gou, who, this year, rode in on the MODEL B and test drove the MODEL C. "The rapid development of Hon Hai in the field of electric vehicles is a continuation of the Group's growth and innovation. In the past, we assisted global brand customers to transform the consumer electronics industry chain, step by step, providing consumers with extraordinary and affordable technology products. In the future, Hon Hai will certainly redefine the EV industry and provide drivers with safe and comfortable user experience in transportation."
"Hon Hai's vision has always been to produce complete solutions to bellwether customers and provide for comprehensive intelligent lifestyles. We used to make PCs and mobile phones. From now and into the future, we will create EVs," said Hon Hai Chairman and CEO Young Liu. "For more than 40 years, the greatest value we have brought to top-tier, global brand customers is that Hon Hai is your most trusted and reliable partner. In the EV industry, we are resolute about CDMS: This means contract design and manufacturing service. This commitment will not change. In the next 10 years, Hon Hai in the EV industry will redefine CDMS in the automotive field and continue to promote vertically integrated technology services. Our goal is to provide the range of high-tech services and capabilities required by automakers to propel them to become more competitive."
MODEL B an urban crossover with beauty & handling performance
The brand-new concept prototype MODEL B crossover is the mainstream for the younger generation. It is based on the MODEL C platform, but with changes to the platform size and a new body design. Its S-duct design, the streamlined roof, and the innovative air curtain on the D-pillar greatly reduces air turbulence. This allows the MODEL B to achieve an excellent drag coefficient of 0.26. As a personalized urban car, the compact 4.3-meter MODEL B has a cruising range of 450 kilometers and uses a 2.8-meter wheelbase to create a comfortable, roomy cockpit.
MODEL C is Taiwan's 1st EV to go into production
MODEL C, as the first EV built on the MIH open platform, has gone directly from last year's concept prototype to this year's production vehicle, fully demonstrating Hon Hai's automotive manufacturing capabilities. With a drag coefficient of 0.28, a 0-to-100 km/h acceleration of 3.8 seconds and a distance range of nearly 700 kilometers, this model is electric, economical and multi-functional, meeting car owners' expectations. The production-version of the MODEL C is anticipated to hit the roads in Taiwan in the second half of 2023.
MODEL V is Taiwan's 1st self-developed electric pickup
With the milestone debut of the first made-in-Taiwan electric pickup MODEL V, Hon Hai completes its range of passenger cars and large commercial vehicles. The MODEL V is the result of the vertical integration of Hon Hai and MIH alliance partners. It is the first electric pickup designed and developed in Taiwan. With a payload of up to 1 ton and a towing capacity of 3 tons, its dynamic performance has the ability to traverse all terrains.
The EV pickup adopts a double-cab, 5-seat configuration. Sensors surrounding the body are combined with electronic rearview mirrors and a display screen to integrate the instrument panel, which not only improves safety, but offers intelligent technology to users. The overall experience suits all types of drivers, whether their journey takes them through urban neighborhoods or the rugged outdoors.
HHEV. OS architecture creates ideal EV software platform
To lower the entry threshold for the electric vehicle industry, Hon Hai simplified the complexity of software development and greatly shortened the development time through HHEV.OS. This ideal EV software platform has excellent scalability, conforms to vehicle regulations and safety, and ensures instant and reliable transmission. Through the HHEV.OS software platform, EV designers can focus on the most valuable development work and achieve the purpose of rapid product launch. At the same time, Hon Hai will also apply to MIH to make HHEV.OS the standard for the MIH software open platform.
Key automotive components being showcased this year at HHTD are ever more powerful, small, precise and safety-assured. The self-developed "EPS Electric Power Steering System" is an upgrade to a 48V motor, compared with the traditional 12V motor, while shrinking in size by 20%. On top of adhering to the highest safety integrity ASIL-D standards, the component breakthroughs attest to Hon Hai's key technical capabilities in motors, automotive ECUs, ball screws, and other important mechanisms. On display are solid-state batteries that stand up to safety and withstand temperature change, and silicon carbide power modules with a variety of heat dissipation base plate structures to meet the various power performance requirements of EVs. These key components being exhibited demonstrate the integrity of the upstream and downstream EV supply chain.
At the first annual HHTD in 2020, Hon Hai announced the MIH open platform, promoting standardization, modularization and platforms approach for technologies. Through sharing and division of labor, Hon Hai is changing the traditional automotive industry system and establishing an open, technical standard and supply chain. At the second HHTD in 2021, Hon Hai launched three electric vehicles, MODEL C, MODEL E, and MODEL T. With a diverse product line in EVs, Hon Hai is demonstrating nimble R&D and manufacturing of electric vehicles. At the third HHTD 2022, Hon Hai not only expands the breadth of its EV offerings, but also redefines CDMS to promote vertical integration services to bring to humankind a more intelligent lifestyle.

MORRISVILLE, N.C., June 14, 2012– Geomagic®, a global company providing 3D technology solutions for digital reality, announced that its customer, Surgical Theater LLC, is being spotlighted at an event held at the White House starting at 9 am ET today to highlight advanced broadband Internet technologies with dramatic potential. Sponsored by the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the White House event will include a live demonstration of Surgical Theater's Surgery Rehearsal Platform (SRP), the first simulator on the market to use patients' own CT and MRI images so that surgeons can practice on the patient's unique anatomical variations in advance. The platform helps enable surgeries that proceed swiftly and lessen the risks of unforeseen outcomes. Force feedback haptic devices and OpenHaptics™ developer's software from Geomagic, acquired from haptics industry pioneer Sensable Technologies in April, are what provide a realistic sense of touch to the platform.
The White House event also will feature neurosurgeons, Dr. Warren Selman and Dr. Andrew Sloan of University Hospitals (UH) Case Medical Center in Cleveland, in a telepresence application where mentor and novice surgeons use the SRP's virtual model of a patient and explore surgical options. Drs. Selman and Sloan are clinical collaborators who helped incubate the SRP, and also will explain the role of virtual reality in saving operating time and helping avoid adverse consequences, such as a stroke.
The Surgery Rehearsal Platform (SRP) uploads and transforms medical images, such as CT and MRI scans of patients, into life-like, dynamic and interactive 3D models. The initial offering is targeted at brain aneurysm surgery, one of the most technically complex procedures a neurosurgeon performs. A cerebral aneurysm is a ballooning of a blood vessel in the brain that is often treated by microsurgical techniques involving the placement of a small titanium clip across the neck of the aneurysm.
Holding a Phantom™ haptic stylus to operate as if they were holding a surgical instrument, the surgeon can "feel" the virtual tissues, note their reaction to different shaped surgical clips, feel the results of more or less pressure on the aneurysm, and practice different angles of insertion. By providing a realistic environment, it allows the surgeon to make critical decisions in advance, on an exact replica of the patient, in a 'risk-free' virtual rehearsal environment.
The SRP evolved from a chance meeting in a Cleveland area coffee shop in 2009, between Dr. Selman and two former Israeli Air Force officers who had developed flight simulators for their country. Dr. Selman became intrigued with the idea of applying virtual reality to the realm of surgery, and a collaboration followed. Surgical Theater will begin a clinical trial of the SRP later this year and is placing units in various medical education institutions' residency programs. Dr. Sloan is developing additional neurosurgical simulations for the SRP platform, such as the removal of benign and malignant tumors located in critical areas of the brain as well as microvascular decompression, pituitary tumors, and acoustic neuroma surgeries.
"We believe that once a surgeon experiences the clinical benefits he or she can gain from 'pre-living the future' of their patient's case by rehearsing and planning the surgery with the SRP, they will not want to perform surgery without the SRP again," said Moty Avisar, CEO of Surgical Theater.
Surgical Theater LLC produces virtual realistic and interactive scenes where surgeons are able to plan, rehearse and tele-Mentor toward their special missions. Surgical Theater solutions help doctors "pre-live the future" as a vitally important part of a national effort to reduce medical errors and improve outcomes. The founders of Surgical Theater (http://www.surgicaltheater.net/) have more than 20 years in research and development for the Israeli Air Force creating advanced large-scale flight simulator programs. For more information visit www.surgicaltheater.net.
Geomagic's software and hardware are utilized by world-class customers in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, consumer products, toys, collectibles, coin design, jewelry, fine art, heritage restoration, research, education, mold making, entertainment, training and surgical simulation. In fact, some of the world's leading companies and research organizations use Geomagic software, including Ford, BMW, Boeing, Harley Davidson, Timberland, Mattel/Fisher Price, Lego, Pratt & Whitney, NASA, Schneider Electronic, 3M, Danahe, and Invisalign. Geomagic is based in Research Triangle Park, N.C., USA, with an office in Boston, subsidiaries in Europe and Asia, and channel partners worldwide.

An argument for following the rules of the road: It saves lives
On behalf of Casey Colonna of Smith Magram Michaud Colonna, P.C. on Monday, January 28, 2019.
One of the biggest tragedies in modern society relates to one of its greatest benefits: automobiles. They zip and zoom us through the city -- getting us from one side of Burlington to the other, or from one side of the country to the other. It's a miracle that your tiny vehicle that you use to drive to and from work every morning, can also transport you to California in just a few days. But it can also kill you, and that's the sad part.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1.35 million people die every year in the world as a result of traffic-related crashes. And for young people between the ages of 5 and 29, traffic-caused incidents are the number one cause of death. It's a dreadful tragedy to think that during the great potato famine of Irish lore, 1 million people died over a three-year period. But this is only a fraction of how many people die every year because of car crashes.
Interestingly, one of the best ways to reduce the number of people who die in car-caused accidents is simply to follow the rules of the road. This means: no speeding, no drinking and driving, no cellphone use while driving, obeying road signs, etc. When all the motorists follow these rules, car accidents -- and especially fatal ones -- reduce to almost zero. They're just not as common anymore.
For example, when we drive slower, we have a better capacity to keep control of our vehicles because the gravitational forces are reduced. Also, we have more time to react and evade collisions, and it takes less time to slow down and stop. In addition, if we do get into a collision, the severity of injuries and vehicle damages will be lowered -- often from "fatal" level to "minor" or nonexistent.
If you were hurt by someone in a car accident that wasn't your fault, learn more about your legal rights as soon as you can. It's possible that you're on the right side of the law and you can pursue financial damages in court.
