Biografia

Nacque prima del 1340, forse a Napoli, anche se non vi è certezza del luogo; era il figlio cadetto di Matteo di Sangro, signore di Anversa e di altri feudi abruzzesi, e di Candola/Condinella di Barbarano. Dopo la morte del padre, avvenuta nella prima metà del 1347, fu affidato insieme con i fratelli Giovanni, Rinaldo, Nicolò e Ugone e la loro sorella, alla tutela di Gentile di Gordiano, degli zii paterni Giovanni e Tommasa, vedova di Giovanni "il Rosso" di Soliaco e suocera del conte di Manoppello Napoleone Orsini, e della madre. Un altro zio paterno, Francesco, fu vescovo di Valva dal 1343 al 1348.

Avviato alla carriera ecclesiastica, è documentato per la prima volta l'11 marzo 1369 come notaio della cancelleria pontificia e anche come arcidiacono della chiesa di Reyna, nella arcidiocesi di Siviglia. Il 6 agosto 1369 si laureò presso l'Università di Bologna in diritto canonico e fu presentato da Fernando Alvarez de Albornoz, vescovo eletto di Lisbona, e da Giovanni da Legnano, uno dei principali canonisti dell'epoca.

Dopo l'elezione di Papa Urbano VI e lo scoppio dello scisma d'Occidente, rimase fedele all'obbedienza romana e il Papa, nel suo primo concistoro, lo nominò cardinale diacono con il titolo di Sant'Adriano al Foro. Il 15 dicembre dello stesso anno, insieme con altri tre cardinali, fu membro della commissione papale incaricata di raccogliere ed esaminare la vita e i miracoli di Brigida di Svezia; nel corso del 1379 la commissione avviò il processo di canonizzazione della mistica svedese.

Nominato legato papale presso Carlo III d'Angiò-Durazzo, al tempo in lotta con la Regina Giovanna I d'Angiò per il trono del Regno di Napoli. Il 1º giugno 1381 Gentile di Sangro fu presente al giuramento di fedeltà alla Chiesa prestato nella basilica di San Pietro da Carlo III d'Angiò-Durazzo e sottoscrisse come testimone gli impegni assunti dal principe. Seguì, inoltre, Carlo nella sua impresa vittoriosa di conquista del Regno di Napoli; in particolare compito di Gentile di Sangro fu quello di riportare sotto l'obbedienza romana tutti i vari prelati meridionali che, seguendo i dettami della Regina Giovanna I, si erano schierati dalla parte dell'antipapa Clemente VII. Il 16 luglio 1381 Carlo entrò a Napoli con a fianco Gentile, il quale nei giorni successivi fece arrestare e deporre gli ecclesiastici di obbedienza avignonese e per far confiscare i loro beni, che furono ridistribuiti ai sostenitori di Papa Urbano VI e di Carlo III d'Angiò-Durazzo; le epurazioni raggiunsero il culmine nel settembre 1381, quando Gentile, alla presenza del Re e di un gran numero di baroni e di ecclesiastici napoletani, fece bruciare nella basilica di Santa Chiara le insegne cardinalizie di Giacomo da Itri e Leonardo Rossi di Giffoni, rimasti ancora legati all'obbedienza avignonese, e li costrinse ad abiurare e a riconoscere Urbano VI come Papa legittimo. Il 25 novembre 1381 a Napoli nella chiesa dell'Incoronata incoronò Margherita di Durazzo come Regina del Regno. Nel gennaio 1382 si trasferì nel castello di Anversa degli Abruzzi, feudo della sua famiglia, e portò con sé gli esponenti più in vista dell'obbedienza avignonese arrestati nei mesi precedenti: i cardinali Giacomo da Itri e Leonardo Rossi, il vescovo di Chieti Tommaso Brancaccio e Stefano Migliarisi, in precedenza reggente della Magna Curia della Vicaria durante gli ultimi anni di regno di Giovanna.

Su ordine del pontefice 13 febbraio 1382 si portò a Benevento per dirimere una questione sorta tra Francesco Prignano, nipote di Urbano VI, e Guglielmo della Leonessa, che controllava la città campana. Nel marzo successivo Urbano VI inviò a Napoli Gentile con i cardinali Bartolomeo Mezzavacca, Niccolò Caracciolo Moschino e Ludovico Donati per chiedere al Re Carlo III il rispetto degli accordi ratificati, in particolare alla concessione dei feudi promessi a Francesco Prignano. Ma la ambasceria non raggiunse nessun risultato, tanto che Gentile fu richiamato alla Corte papale e fu dimesso da legato apostolico, come si deduce da una lettera pontificia del 15 agosto 1382. Nei mesi successivi i rapporti tra Papa e Re si incrinarono sempre più, tanto che il Papa si trasferì a Napoli con la vana speranza di prendere in pugno la situazione; nel giugno 1384 si rifugiò a Nocera nel castello del Parco, in uno dei pochi feudi che erano stati effettivamente concessi al nipote Francesco. Gentile, che aveva seguito il Papa, si stava avvicinando sempre più alle posizioni del Re, che tra la fine del 1382 e l'inizio del 1383 aveva concesso al fratello del cardinale, Nicolò, il feudo di Torremaggiore, che resterà a lungo tra i possedimenti feudali della famiglia, e altri feudi sparsi tra Abruzzo, Molise e Puglia; inoltre Carlo III, accogliendo una richiesta del cardinale, aveva trasformato in burgensatici i beni feudali che lo stesso Nicolò possedeva in Aquila.

Questo clima di aperto confronto tra Papa e Re portò al complotto del cardinale Bartolomeo Mezzavacca, che cercò di esautorare il Papa per manifesta incapacità mentale e negligenza nel governo della Chiesa e affiancargli un consiglio di tutela, dopo averlo consegnato nelle mani di Villanuccio di Brunforte, capitano del Re; del complotto furono coinvolti diversi altri cardinali, compreso Gentile di Sangro. Il complotto fu rivelato dal cardinale Tommaso Orsini di Manoppello e l'11 gennaio 1385, per ordine del Papa, Francesco Prignano arrestò sei cardinali accusati di aver preso parte alla congiura: Adam Easton, Ludovico Donati, Bartolomeo da Cogorno, Giovanni da Amelia, Marino del Giudice e Gentile di Sangro furono privati delle cariche e dei beni e incarcerati in condizioni disumane. Le accuse trovarono una prima conferma nella confessione, estorta con la tortura, di Clemente da Secinaro, vescovo dell'Aquila, che era stato arrestato insieme con i cardinali e interrogato per primo. In seguito anche Gentile fu torturato per ottenere una piena confessione, che fu resa nel giro di pochi giorni e diffusa il 14 febbraio con un testo scritto, fatto preparare dal papa.

Urbano VI, ormai assediato a Nocera, riuscì a fuggire l'8 luglio grazie all'intervento delle truppe degli Orsini, portandosi appresso i prigionieri. Raggiunse prima Paestum e di lì, via mare, il 23 settembre, dopo un viaggio non privo di pericoli, raggiunse Genova, portando con sé i sei cardinali prigionieri, che furono rinchiusi nella commenda di San Giovanni di Pré, appartenente ai cavalieri giovanniti, scelta come residenza genovese dal pontefice. In tale sede, con la sola eccezione del cardinale Adam Easton, a favore del quale intervenne il Re d'Inghilterra, Riccardo II, vennero giustiziati nel dicembre 1385 (o l'11 gennaio 1386).

Nel giugno del 1386 vi fu un tentativo per la liberazione dei condannati i prigionieri, probabilmente organizzato dai cardinali Pileo da Prata e Galeotto Tarlati di Petramala, che si erano momentaneamente riavvicinati a Papa Urbano VI.

L'8 febbraio 1387 la chiesa di Sant'Angelo dei Greci, nella diocesi di Monopoli, di cui era stato commendatario, fu concessa a qualcun altro.

Semarang (Borobudur), Indonesia
Home/Destinations/Asia/Semarang (Borobudur), Indonesia
The gateway to awe-inspiring sites
The commercial port of Semarang might be better known as a hub for one of Indonesia's most important exports—the beans for your next cup of jo—but it's also an important gateway to two of the area's most spectacular sights—Borobudur and Prambanan.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Prambanan is a collection of massive Hindu temples and a national symbol of Indonesia. Wander the grounds and gaze at the huge collection of sharp, jaggedly sculpted towers that dot the landscape.
And then for something completely different, but no less awe-inspiring, head to another UNESCO World Heritage Site, nearby Borobudur, the largest Buddhist monument in the world. Marvel at the incredible attention to detail while embracing the feeling of being dwarfed by the massive structures of this incredible site.

The twin soaring—and active—volcanoes on the horizon are the perfect backdrop to watch the sunset over this fertile landscape. And because Azamara stays later in port than any other cruise ship, you just might get to experience this incredible sight.

SpaceX explosion casts doubt on future success
SpaceX, an aerospace company directed by Elon Musk, met disaster on Thursday, Sept. 1. That morning, the business was prepared to assess the strength of the rocket's engines without actually launching it into the air. SpaceX anticipated to conduct this static test fire of the Falcon 9 rocket, towering at 229 feet, when it unexpectedly exploded after 9 a.m.
The explosion struck the launch area, located at the 45th Space Wing at Cape Canaveral Air Station. It damaged the $60 million Falcon 9 rocket and the $200 million Facebook Amos-6 satellite. It shook nearby office buildings and the aftermath was so powerful that the smoke appeared on the neighborhood weather radar. No crew members were onboard and there were no injuries. SpaceX stated that this blast was not a danger to the public.
SpaceX disclosed on Twitter that "in preparation for today's static fire, there was an anomaly on the pad resulting in the loss of the vehicle and its payload. Per standard procedure, the pad was clear and there were no injuries." The "anomaly on the pad" occurred when employees were putting together the test rocket. Musk stated that the eruption stemmed from the upper stage oxygen tank and the explosion took place as the rocket was being replenished with propellant. SpaceX has now experienced two disastrous letdowns in one year, which may tarnish its image.
Established in 2002, SpaceX plans, produces and dispatches cutting-edge space shuttles. With three vehicles—Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and Dragon—and over 4,000 employees, the company is a pioneer of technology. Their aim is to make living on other planets possible, with a current fixation on Mars. SpaceX captured the world's attention with their many achievements. In December 2010, it became the only independent organization to retrieve a satellite from low-Earth orbit. SpaceX was responsible for a groundbreaking number of 18 launches in 2016. When Falcon Heavy is finished manufacturing, it will be the world's most dynamic rocket. With a $1.6 billion contract with NASA, SpaceX will oversee a multitude of shipping operations to the International Space Station.
Their recent setbacks will, nevertheless, affect the commercial spaceflight industry. The rocket was supposed to give internet access to the isolated regions of sub-Saharan Africa in a partnership with Facebook and Spacecom, the Israeli enterprise responsible for the Amos-6 satellite.
Xinwei Technology Group in Beijing was interested in buying Spacecom for $285 million as long as the Amos-6 satellite was successful. If Xinwei drops their proposal, Spacecom will have to find a different buyer or wait a painstaking three years to test a new shuttle. When the Amos-6 satellite was attached to the rocket, the launch insurance guidelines were not yet settled. As a result, there is a $285 million payout. SpaceX's rivals — Arianespace, ILS and ULA — may also postpone future missile orbits.
SpaceX's future plans for their rocket launches will also be hindered. They will reschedule the launch of Iridium on Sept. 19 as they further investigate the Amos-6 collapse.

Essay - Women's Suffrage - Teaching Women's Rights From Past to Present
Women's Suffrage | Teaching Tolerance
Note: Have students count off by threes. If you have enough computers in the classroom for each group to work on one, have groups work where they are. Create a presentation for the class showing how your group went about trying to win votes for women. Which group might picket, march or chant in public places to draw attention to their cause? What would other groups do? How was suffrage first defined in the Constitution and how has it expanded over time? Who famously voted illegally in a presidential election? What groups were opposed to suffrage and what reasons did they give? Why did President Wilson finally agree to support the 19th Amendment? About eight thousand women marched from the Capitol to the White House, carrying banners and escorting floats. The , spectators watched the march, some in support. Others harassed and attacked suffragists in the parade; over women were hospitalized with injuries that day. The parade was important, not only because of its size, but also because the participants challenged traditional ideas of how women should behave in public. They were loud, bold, and theatrical. The amendment then went to the states for ratification. Thirty-six states needed to ratify the amendment in order for it to be adopted, and Harry Burn in the Tennessee House of Representatives cast the decisive vote. Mexican women did not receive federal vote until But all was ended in with the passing of laws which not only denied women voting rights, but even the right to join political parties. In the s, Japanese feminists campaigned again, but the growing imperialism of the Meiji state and rising tide of Japanese militarism in the early s turned Japanese suffragists back. When the Japanese military took control of the country in the s, all democratizing movements were suppressed. In in Egypt, thirty-three years after feminists had first demanded suffrage, the revolutionary government granted women the right to vote. Thus the same year that the state granted women the right to vote, women were suppressed as independent political actors. The future looks brighter today. Irish Cartoon, Beyond Suffrage: Suffrage has not been an automatic stepping stone to full equality for women. One problem was that once suffrage was achieved, the common ground among women fighting for it was lost. Today, women are struggling to gain equal participation in political office alongside men. Of interest is the use in over 41 countries of parity quotas and quota laws to achieve political gender balance. This means that a certain number of parliamentary seats are reserved for women. The seats are distributed among the political parties in proportion to the number of seats awarded in parliament. In South Africa, a municipal law stipulates that 50 percent of all candidates for the local office have to be women. India in enacted a 33 percent policy to reserve seats for women in Parliament and throughout the State Government. The final effectiveness of this policy is unknown, but so far, as many as one million women have gotten an opportunity to enter institutions as members and office bearers; many more have participated in elections and as campaigners for state legislatures. Most dramatic has been the change in the landscape of local politics. In some cases, women for the first time have sat with village leaders, and sometimes even had a turn heading village affairs. Determined to overcome the social, civil, and religious disabilities that crippled women of their day, Stanton and Mott organized the first woman's rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, on 19 July It drew over persons Weatherford ; Harper ; Coolidge Stanton drafted the "Declaration of Sentiments," a document declaring that "men and women are created equal" Woman's Rights Conventions, Modeled on the U. Declaration of Independence, it outlined several resolutions regarding higher education, property rights, and woman's suffrage Graham ; Carter Susan B. Anthony, a Quaker and rising leader in the woman's suffrage movement, made nationwide suffrage a goal and recruited many supporters Carter ; Weatherford Anthony was convinced that women would not obtain the rights listed in the Declaration of Sentiments or be effective in implementing social reforms until they had voting power. However, despite the close cooperation between abolitionists and advocates of woman's rights following the Seneca Falls Convention, arguments over the Fifteenth Amendment led to a split in the movement in Graham ; Porter ; Weatherford The Fifteenth Amendment provided black males the right to vote, building upon language in the previous amendment in which "any male inhabitants" were granted voting privileges. But many viewed the Amendment as an insult to women because the language did not even bother to exclude them Weatherford Some persons sought to postpone woman's suffrage in order to focus efforts on securing enfranchisement for blacks freed following the Civil War, a move that Stanton and Anthony felt "compromised a betrayal of the ideal of universal suffrage" Graham , 5; Kraditor Over the course of the next three decades, efforts on the part of both associations resulted in gains for woman's suffrage in several states, including Wyoming, the territory of Utah, and Washington. These two associations remained separate entities until , when they merged to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Headed by Stanton, the consolidated organization marked a new era in the history of woman's suffrage Weatherford ; Harper Despite the growing support for women's right to vote, there were many who were opposed to the idea. Many anti-suffragists were men who argued that a woman's place was in the home and that voting rights would compromise those characteristics that made women distinctly feminine Porter ; Kraditor According to Kraditor, "This 'separate but equal' doctrine of the respective spheres of man and woman was a central part of the sociological argument against woman suffrage, which declared that social peace and the welfare of the human race depended upon woman's staying home, having children, and keeping out of politics" , Some opponents of woman's suffrage also argued that women lacked the political experience and competency necessary to vote Kraditor Women's commitment to prohibition and close ties with the Women's Christian Temperance Union also produced many opponents to the woman suffrage movement Weatherford The liquor industry feared that if women voted, prohibition laws would be passed, which would make it illegal to make or sell alcoholic beverages Hossel Immigrants also opposed woman's suffrage for similar reasons. According to The History of Woman Suffrage, as cited by Weatherford , "In suffrage for women [German immigrants] saw rigid Sunday laws and the suppression of their beer gardens" Irish immigrants were also reportedly fearful that American women's vote would end their pub habits Weatherford Other industries were opposed to woman's suffrage. In the late s, as the woman suffrage movement gained momentum, women became more attentive to social issues, such as food and drug safety, worker safety, and child labor. Factory and business owners fought against women's right to vote because they were worried that women would pass laws requiring changes in procedures and make it more expensive to operate their businesses Hossell Moreover, clerics and other laypersons relied on scriptural interpretations to debate the validity of woman's suffrage. Along with anti-suffragist clerics, many women spoke against suffrage, arguing that marriage was a sacred unity in which the family was represented by the man; thus, women need not vote Weatherford In , anti-suffragists came together to form the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, which voiced the opinions of the conservatives until women gained the right to vote in Nevertheless, by so many women had gained voting rights within their individual states that presidential candidates began to court the female vote for the first time Ibid. Additionally, the tireless efforts of women in support of the country during World War I gained the attention and respect of many persons who had initially questioned woman's suffrage. In , President Wilson issued a statement supporting the federal amendment to grant woman's suffrage, publicly departing from his initial preference for state-by-state suffrage Ibid. The woman's movement rose to its climactic victory following the conclusion of the war. Anthony Amendment. In August of it was ratified by Tennessee, the last of the thirty-six state approvals necessary for the Amendment to become binding. Importance The woman's suffrage movement is important because it resulted in passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.

Framework This lesson has students explore how women succeeded in gaining the right to vote in this country. Until , most states limited the right to vote to men and in many states only white men. Over a period of about 75 years, a movement of American women used nonviolent tactics at both the state and federal levels to demand their right to vote. The outcome was the Nineteenth Amendment to the U. Constitution, ratified in It explains that in the early s, the United States lacked a coherent national policy guaranteeing women the right to vote. Different groups of women used different strategies to gain the right to vote. What are the three different phases of the suffrage movement identified by historian Sarah Chinn in the video? Note: Moral persuasion, state-by-state and federal amendment. French women won the vote as late as French women, nonetheless, fared better than the Swiss. In colonized countries, women demanded the right to vote not just from stable republics, but from colonial powers. For example, in India in , poet and political activist Sarojini Naidu headed a small deputation of women to England to present the case for female suffrage before a select committee set up to create a proposal for constitution reforms aimed at the inclusion of some Indians in government. Although the British committee found the proposition preposterous, they allowed future Indian provincial legislatures to grant or refuse the franchise to women. To the British surprise, many did, making it possible within a short span of time for women to be represented, however limited, on a par with men. Women in newly independent states in Africa typically won the vote around the year On winning national independence, most of the ex-colonized countries created constitutions which guaranteed the franchise to both men and women. In other countries, like South Africa where only whites were allowed to vote for members of the central government, white women gained the right to vote for central government in , while black and colored women voted for the first time in Today only a few countries do not extend suffrage to women, or extend only limited suffrage. In Bhutan there is only one vote per family in village-level elections. In Lebanon women have to have proof of education before they vote. In Oman, only people chosen by the government, mostly male, vote, and Kuwait only in granted women the right to vote in the elections. Some countries, like Saudi Arabia, which have denied the vote to men as well as women, recently opened the vote in provisional elections to men. Sometimes responses to political change, or to societal anxieties, forwarded the cause. In Germany, the ending of imperial rule in opened the door for women to push for the vote. In Canada, the federal government used female suffrage as a political tool, enfranchising army nurses and female relatives of soldiers serving overseas in order to secure an election victory. One pro-suffrage argument in Canada was that white British Canadian women deserved the vote because the franchise had already been entrusted to naturalized male immigrants from Central Europe. In the United States the same argument was used, as was the fact that African American males had already won the vote before white women. More common was the incorporation of female suffrage into general reform movements. The push for female political power sometimes occurred when it was clear that without political power little would change for women, even with the passage of substantive reforms. Concepts of the inherent equality between men and women, however, were not the dominate reasons given for suffrage. Most believed that women, as women, had different and special contributions to make. Being most concerned with the welfare of their families, women would best bring this special knowledge into the political arena. A principle temperance argument was that women were more likely to vote for prohibition as a way to safeguard the family. Economic reasons for female suffrage were utilized as well. One stressed that once women were full citizens they would be in a position to press for equal salaries. On the other hand, nationalistic movements in colonized and other non-western nations began to link attempts at modernization with an improvement in the status of women. In many instances, liberal nationalists, many of them male, needed the active support of women to help fulfill their dream of an independent, modern state. Granting suffrage was a revolutionary act. If they happen to be working, it was gruelling things like housework that would sometimes extend over the course of the whole day, or, later on during the famous industrialization era that took place, in various factories they get paid very little and work long hours. European women fought for suffrage for an extremely long period of time before they were granted full voting rights. The suffrage movement began as a struggle to achieve equal rights for women in Women then became active in their quest for political recognition, which they finally obtained in The men in America have always had the right to vote. They have always had the right to do whatever they wanted. Women, on the other hand, have not. Women in all parts of the country voted in a political election for the first time. This may not sound like that big of a deal, but to the women of the 19th and 20th centuries.

DANBURY — Developers behind the Summit have officially applied for the career academy to be constructed within their 1.2 million-square-foot building.
Adding the $99 million public school for 1,400 middle and high school students would mean the developers would build fewer apartments than planned, but city officials have anticipated that change.
"We're excited," said Mike Basile, project manager for the Summit. "It's truly going to be (a) one-of- a- kind work-live-play-educate facilities in the country."
The city and developers have worked closely together on the project, but the Zoning Commission still needs to approve proposed changes to the Summit's master plan. The Planning Commission will hold a special meeting on the project on Dec. 15, while the Zoning Commission's public hearing is scheduled for Jan. 11.
"The revisions are a good step forward for us to complete the Career Academy," Mayor Dean Esposito wrote in a statement.
The proposed revisions include building a minimum of 180 residential units, rather than 404 apartments. This is needed to make room for the school.
"That's pretty straightforward," said Sharon Calitro, the city's planner.
Developers asked to increase the amount of square feet permitted for non-residential use — going from about 950,000-square-feet to almost 1.04 million square feet. That's due to the school and higher demand for commercial space, Basile said.
For example, Nuvance Health plans to fill about 300,000 square feet of office space, up from 220,000 square feet initially, he said. A couple national companies are expected to move into the space, but names are under wraps for now, Basile said. He expects to announce the companies in January.
This is despite the work-from-home environment that COVID-19 forced companies into. Corporations are attracted to the Summit's amenities, such as the covered parking, barber shop, yoga studio, nail salon, fitness center, upcoming restaurant, and golf and putting green, Basile said.
"Corporations are looking for a unique situation for their employees," he said. "The Summit, the city within the city concept, enhances that for them."
Developers requested additional flexibility in the amount of square feet they're permitted for particularly uses, such as community facilities, neighborhood retail and service uses, and non-residential uses not serving the immediate needs of the neighborhood. The Zoning Commission had previously approved square footage ranges, rather than specific caps, for these uses.
"The second amendment just further adjusts them on account of the school use," Calitro said.
One issue to be worked out is the fee the Summit promised to pay to the city to offset the costs of any additional students due to the apartments. When 404 apartments were proposed, $550,000 annually was expected.
Basile said the Summit is "100 percent" committed to the fee, but expects to discuss how much the development will pay with the new mayor.
"We have not discussed that yet, but as this progresses we will continue to have conversations with all stakeholders," Esposito said.
Most of the apartments are one-bedroom, but there are studio and two-bedroom units, as well, Basile said.
The city still needs to purchase the "pods" for the school from the Summit and plans to meet with developers in the coming week, Esposito said.
"We're finalizing a lot of the legal documents as we speak," Basile said. "We hope to be in the position December, January to wrap this up."
The school is desperately needed to address overcrowding in the middle and high schools. The academy will serve 1,040 high school students and 360 middle school students.
Plans include various labs, a rooftop greenhouse, a gym with bleachers for 400, a media research center and dozens of classrooms. Students are expected to study various career fields.
"It's great for the city because obviously there is such a need for classrooms," Basile said. "With the state of the art facility that they're planning on putting in, it's going to be really fabulous for the city."
The state is considering the city's application to cover 80 percent of the costs for the project, but Danbury is expected to earn the grant. The school is scheduled to open in fall 2024.
Assuming the master plan revisions are approved, the Summit aims to start construction on the apartments in January or February, Basile said. The apartments would constructed in phases — possibly three — with the first phase including about 70 units. All apartments would be built in about 16 months, he said.
"Time is of the essence for everybody," Basile said.

The Heath Robinson Museum is a museum in Pinner, northwest London, dedicated to showcasing the work of the world-renowned artist, illustrator, humorist and social commentator William Heath Robinson (1872–1944). The museum was officially opened by local author and children's writer Michael Rosen on 15 October 2016 at a ceremony attended by hundreds of people in Pinner Memorial Park. It was the first London museum in over 40 years to be purpose-built in Greater London.

Foundation

The William Heath Robinson Trust ran a campaign to raise funds for the museum, which started in October 2013. The museum passed the first round of Heritage Lottery Funding in March 2012, which led to its receiving a £1.1 million grant in December 2013. Developed with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund of £1.3m and substantial donations from local patrons, residents and businesses, the new museum features two galleries, a permanent display covering the career of W. Heath Robinson and his illustrations and artworks, as well as a special exhibition gallery that hosts a programme of themed exhibitions that change every three months. Pinner Memorial Park, Pinner in the London Borough of Harrow is close to Pinner tube station on the Metropolitan line.

The West House and Heath Robinson Museum Trust is a registered charity which restored West House in Pinner Memorial Park for community use. The Trust is a partnership between local Pinner people and the William Heath Robinson Trust, custodians of the artist's work.

When Heath Robinson's daughter Joan died, her husband wanted her collection of her father's work to be kept in public ownership. As a result the William Heath Robinson Trust was formed in 1992. The original collection included about 500 pieces of original art work together with an archive of letters, association copies and special editions of the books that he illustrated, proof prints, advertising booklets and ephemera. The National Heritage Memorial Fund and the Art Fund grant-aided the William Heath Robinson Trust in 2015 to purchase some 400 additional important works for the Museum, bringing the collection to nearly 1,000. It is the only substantial collection of the artist's work in public ownership.

New York Islanders sign veteran centre Doug Weight to one-year deal
NEW YORK - The New York Islanders agreed to terms Wednesday with veteran forward Doug Weight on a one-year deal worth US$1.75 million plus incentives.
The 37-year-old centre, who had 10 goals and 15 assists in 67 games with the St. Louis Blues and Anaheim Ducks last season, is the second free agent signing by the Islanders since bidding got under way on Tuesday. New York inked defenceman Mark Streit a day earlier to a five-year, $20.5-million deal.
Weight is a four-time all-star who was a member of the Carolina Hurricanes' team that captured the Stanley Cup in 2006. He has 265 NHL goals and 969 points in 1,131 career games over 16 seasons.
"Bringing Doug aboard was a priority for us," Islanders general manager Garth Snow said in a statement. "He not only brings a wealth of NHL games and experience with him, but he's the type of player we want our younger players to learn from."
He had three goals and 13 assists in 23 playoff games during the championship run with Carolina, after being acquired by the Hurricanes at the trade deadline, and famously struggled to raise the Cup despite a painful separated shoulder that knocked him out of the last two games of the finals.
Weight, a native of Warren, Mich., was on the U.S. Olympic team in 1998 and 2002 and was a teammate with current Islanders captain Bill Guerin. He ranks eighth among active NHL players with 704 assists and 12th in points.
He is also fifth in assists among active U.S.-born players and eighth in points.
The Islanders also announced the signing Wednesday of goalie Yann Danis to a one-year, two-way contract. Danis, who starred at Brown University, is 81-67-18 in 176 career AHL games with a 2.78 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage.

Summer has arrived in full force, and totally caught me off guard. I'm still hoarding rhubarb from the market, all the while its already late June (WHAT?!). This month has been filled with weekend visitors, al fresco dining and ice cream. Lots of ice cream. We're heading to the lake this weekend, which can only mean loads of sangria and all things barbecued. I can't wait.
To counter all this indulgence, I'm trying to keep weekday lunches and weeknight dinners light, healthy and packed with fresh produce. These vermicelli bowls are just that. They're the perfect balance between eating a bowl of raw veggies, and the comfort of rice noodles and warm baked tofu -- perfect for a working lunch, or a relaxing evening on the patio with a glass of vino.
Many thanks to Danesco for hunting down the OXO tabletop spiralizer and sending it my way. Danesco is a Montreal-based distributor of high-end kitchen ware, including all things OXO. If you're in Canada, this is definitely a resource you're going to want to know about!
Don't sweat it if you don't have a spiralizer, simply julienne your veggies and you're good to go. We like the texture of semi-firm tofu the best, but if you're more into the firm kind, by all means, go with what you like. Don't skip the peanuts, they add the perfect crunch!
Whisk the marinade ingredients in a square glass dish. Place the cubed tofu into the sauce, and let marinate for 1 hour. Flip the tofu cubes halfway through.
Preheat the oven to 475. Transfer the glass dish (with tofu and marinade) into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
While the tofu is cooking, slice all your vegetables, using either a spiralizer, julienne peeler or knife. Whisk all the dressing ingredients into a glass jar and set aside.
When the tofu is nearly ready, cook the rice noodles.
To assemble, place a handful of noodles at the bottom of the bowl. Top each bowl with half the sliced vegetables, a heaping spoonful of tofu*, toasted peanuts and cilantro. Drizzle the dressing, as well as some of the marinade, over top. Dig in and enjoy!
* depending on how hungry you are, there may be leftover tofu.

tiny houses BIG PLANS
LightWorks built on unusual foundation
April 12, 2015 at 5:00 am | By MIKE PATRICK/mpatrick@cdapress.com
Michael Chilson, left, works with Michael South to install a sheet of roofing material to a tiny house.
Imagine you've got a business idea that could generate a few bucks.
While money's nice, imagine that it's not your main motivator. What you really want is to do some good, to leave your neighborhood, your community, your region just a little bit better than the way you found it. Imagine you've got a pretty big imagination.
So instead of hiring experienced construction workers to build tiny houses and sell them for profit, you enlist people who are pulling themselves out of criminal pasts, from the poisonous clutches of substance abuse, from poverty and its dreadful companion, hopelessness. This unusual workforce will be housed, counseled and trained not just to pound nails and paint plywood, but to learn soft skills and life skills, to get healthier mentally, physically and spiritually. After a year or two, they are clean, skilled, and ready to join the more traditional workforce.
And they're happy.
Still, that's not enough. Your imagination is only getting warmed up.
So you imagine creating a campus where you not only build tiny houses - 300 or 400 square feet is all - and the trailers to transport them, but you also engage this workforce to raise and sell hydroponically grown, organic vegetables. While you're at it, your workforce can build more hydroponic greenhouses and sell those, too. Healthy food now being on the front burner, you imagine a commercial kitchen on this campus that, among other things, can be used to bake breads and pastries and sell them wholesale.
Tiny houses/revenue: check.
Tiny house trailers/revenue: check.
Hydroponic veggies/revenue: check.
Hydroponic greenhouses/revenue: check.
Now the money is coming in. Now social enterprise is happening. Now the imagination is soaring. What's ahead?
If you're Frank Genetti and LightWorks, here's what's ahead: Pay day for the people.
A former golden boy running back at Cal-Berkeley who then went into business and lived the high life in California, Genetti eventually came back to earth.
With a thud.
Personal and family issues nearly consumed him. Cancer coursing through his body almost killed him. But through it all, he's emerged a deeply spiritual man whose focus is squarely on others.
"While dealing with my cancer I had a chance to reflect on my life and purpose, which allowed me to get my priorities in order," he said. "Sometimes it takes a major issue in life to get it right."
Genetti, former California computer whiz Ken Gilbert and an impressive board of directors appear to be getting it right on the local social enterprise frontier.
LightWorks is the name of the company Genetti dreamed up in that big imagination of his, and it's the launching pad he intends to use in building lots of tiny houses and hydroponic greenhouses while baking and growing the company's way into consumers' stomachs - and their hearts.
LightWorks is a spinoff of HARC - Helping the At-Risk Community - which itself is the second generation of another local faith-based organization founded several years back by Ron Nilson and Pastor Tim Remington. That one was called NITRO - North Idaho Training and Rehab Organization - and the key to its success was combining the strengths of Kootenai County's technical education campus, the Idaho Department of Labor and a group of determined, civic-minded leaders including Nilson, Remington and Genetti. LightWorks is a continuation of the mission of both of those groups, but by training a workforce to produce nationally marketable products while becoming marketable employees themselves, it's unusual. The fact that it does all this while reforming and inspiring former felons, drug addicts, alcoholics, the homeless and others with disabilities might make LightWorks unique.
Genetti, LightWorks' CEO, painted the big picture this way:
"We take a population that's been a strain on the community and help them get to the point where they're giving back. These aren't dumb guys. They just made some poor choices along the way."
Michael South is one of those guys. South, 40, is part of the crew that's now finishing work on LightWorks' first marketable tiny house, a 398-square-foot prototype with bathroom, shower, kitchenette, sleeping loft and deck.
"I've been in trouble all my life," said South, who grew up in the Coeur d'Alene area. "This program has given me the opportunity to learn the dynamics of success."
South said he's benefited from the rigorous program provided by HARC, which includes faith-based character building, developing soft skills and life skills, anger management, financial literacy, nutrition and more. The technical education he's received - he's due to graduate from HARC in less than two weeks - has made him a convert of another kind, too.
"I said, 'This really isn't for me,'" South admitted with a laugh Wednesday when he talked about the technical training that eventually led him to the roof of the tiny house. "But as life would have it, God decided this is the only thing for me."
And not just for South.
"We're shaping the future for other guys just like me," he said.
Gilbert, who oversees Shepherd's Table in the community while also serving as LightWorks' director of manufacturing, describes the mission as getting people like South "beyond stuck."
"They can't get a job, they can't get a place to live, so they go back to drugs and they go back to prison," Gilbert said. "We want to break that cycle."
While clearly faith-based, Genetti said LightWorks won't shut out anybody because of their religious beliefs or sexual orientation.
"This is open to anyone who wants to turn their life around," he said.
The community will gain by some of its biggest detractors becoming significant contributors. That fact led the city of Coeur d'Alene to bestow a $121,000 community development block grant on Shepherd's Table and HARC, funds that will help LightWorks grow financial wings.
LightWorks also is being considered for an even larger three-year grant, a gift that would be eagerly and gratefully put to good use. But Genetti insists that LightWorks, following the general model of social enterprise or social entrepreneurship, intends to become fully self-sufficient.
"There's going to be naysayers because of where some of these guys have been," he said. "That's one of the reasons we want to be self-supporting. Also, to go out and have fundraisers and donations, it's a nightmare. And why should we take away from all the fantastic nonprofits that are already here? There's absolutely no reason we can't pay our own way."
According to a LightWorks proforma, the business will be paying its own way soon. Projections call for building eight tiny houses a month by early 2016, with the homes selling somewhere in the $35,000 range - just over half what some other manufacturers of tiny houses charge, Genetti said.
Details still need to be worked out, but LightWorks and local civic leaders are putting their heads together to see how LightWorks-built tiny houses might be used to help solve the community's homeless problem. Genetti said his organization is willing to donate approximately every fourth house it builds to that cause.
LightWorks' business plan and powerful social components have attracted the support of an organization called Re:source Global, a large, gospel-fueled nonprofit that provides strategic guidance and access to a global network of professional advisers to faith-based entities like LightWorks.
Andrea Surace, a Re:source consultant working with Genetti and Gilbert, said the organization will handle LightWorks' standard business functions like accounts receivable and payables.
"They're super-impressed with this project and with the leadership of Frank and Ken," she added, noting that by Re:source handling many of the daily business details, Genetti and Gilbert will be free to train and mentor their workforce while building tiny houses - and their bigger dream.
And that's where pay day for the people comes in.
After cobbling together its first portable tiny house wherever it can, LightWorks is close to announcing a base - an actual campus - where all its training, manufacturing, baking and growing can take place. An integral part of the campus mission will be giving back, Genetti said.
In that big imagination of his, as well as in designated buildings that already exist on the campus, discarded computers will be repaired and given to local people who can't afford one. They'll be fixed by LightWorks students, of course.
Free auto repairs - again, supervised LightWorks students will be learning on the job - will be offered.
An emergency food bank, stocked at least in part by the campus commercial kitchen and hydroponic gardens, will make community deliveries as needed. And space will be set aside for a wood shop where Santa's elves - LightWorks students - will make Christmas toys for the community's needy children, free of charge.
Steve Griffitts, a vice president at Mountain West Bank and board member of HARC, lauded the potential of LightWorks and praised its CEO.
"I don't know how tiny houses will work from a social or economic level," Griffitts conceded. "But if we can build them at a price point that will allow people to utilize them effectively, then tiny houses can be a great answer to many of the housing issues that exist.
"Frank's love for people and his patience in the midst of turmoil is amazing. He has so many gifts that are needed to lead an organization like LightWorks. He is personally invested. He is doing this for the right reasons."
Standing a few feet away from the first tiny house as it neared completion Wednesday and with his arm draped over Genetti's shoulders, Gilbert smiled. And he refused to lose perspective.
"This is great, but it's not about building the houses or the other enterprises to come," he said. "It's about the people. That's what drives us both."

Pacific Rim Franchise
If you are a video game or film passionate, you've certainly heard of the Pacific Rim franchise.
The Pacific Rim franchise is very successful, and it is known all around the world.
Being a franchise, you might be wondering whether you can become part of it, open your Pacific Rim business, or share your Pacific Rim content, just like it happens with other franchises that allow you to open your own business after you pay a franchise fee.
Is this possible with the Pacific Rim franchise? Keep on reading to find it out.
About Pacific Rim
Pacific Rim is a franchise owned by Legendary Pictures. It includes films, video games, books, comics, and merchandise.
The franchise is very well known around the world, especially thanks to the video games and films dedicated to it.
The last of the Pacific Rim was an animated series called Pacific Rim: the Black that premiered on Netflix and was watched by millions of people around the world.
History Of Pacific Rim
The Pacific Rim franchise is based on science fiction stories and characters. Each content describes some wars between humans and alien monsters or robots.
It all started back in 2013 when the first contents were released: it was a film (Pacific Rim) and then the first graphic novel (Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero), and a video game (Pacific Rim: Kaiju Battle).
Each of these contents had its sequels: further films, graphic novels, video games, and books were released during the following years.
The Pacific Rim saga is still not concluded; there is still content constantly published. The last piece was the Netflix animated series we mentioned in the previous article.
In the meantime, Pacific Rim also became a cultural phenomenon, and merchandising is increasing the company's profits by a lot. Merchandise items include t-shirts, posters, and – above all action figures.

Pacific Rim Franchise: Business Model
That Pacific Rim is a franchise means that its characters, environments, and stories are developed across multiple media and platforms.
Pacific Rim is not a franchise that you can join by paying a fee: you can't open your Pacific Rim business, and you can't create Pacific Rim content and share it.
Media franchise
Franchise NO
Initial Investment None
Media video games, films, comics, and books.
How Much Does It Cost To Start A Pacific Rim Franchise?
Because it is not a franchise that you can join, it makes no sense to speak about the initial investment.
However, there is one way to exploit the Pacific Rim popularity for your business, and that is to sell its merchandise.
If you have a gift shop, a comic store, a video game store, a merchandise store, or anything suitable for the purpose, you can sell Pacific Rim merchandise in it.
All you need to do is purchase the items from an authorized supplier.
The investment, in this case, depends on how many items you want to buy, but it is certainly not as high as opening a real franchise store.
If you want to sell Pacific Rim merchandise, there are no particular requirements. The only important thing to pay attention to is to buy from authorized suppliers.
The Pacific Rim franchise does not provide any support to those who want to sell their merchandise or products in their store.
The only training you might need, after all, is in marketing. But they are not offering direct training: you need to apply the strategies you are already running for other products in your store.
Obligations And Restrictions
You can only sell original Pacific Rim products bought from authorized suppliers. Other than that, there aren't any particular obligations or restrictions.
Term Of Agreement And Renewal
If you want to sell Pacific Rim merchandise and products in your store, you don't need any agreement with the main company.
You only need to buy and sell them, just like you do with any other products.
Once more, it's important that you make sure that you're only selling original products and that you are buying them from authorized sellers.
The Pacific Rim franchise does not provide any financial assistance to anyone who wants to be involved in the business by selling their products or merchandise.

Possibility to join the business NO NO
Possibility to sell products YES YES
Particular restrictions NO NO
As we've seen, Pacific Rim is not a franchise in the classic meaning of the term.
It is not a franchise like, for example, the Lush Franchise or the Aroma Joe's franchise that allows you to open your own Luch or Aroma Joe's business.
Pacific Rim is a franchise meaning that its characters and environments are developed across multiple media platforms.
The only way you can participate in the Pacific Rim business is by selling their products (video games, books, films) or merchandise (t-shirts, action figures, and more).

953 F. 2d 372 - State of Missouri Department of Social Services v. United States Department of Education F
953 F2d 372 State of Missouri Department of Social Services v. United States Department of Education F
STATE OF MISSOURI, DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, Petitioner,
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, Lauro F. Cavazos,
Secretary, and John Doe as unknown successor to
the Office of Secretary, Respondent.
Submitted Sept. 12, 1991.
Decided Jan. 7, 1992.
Richard Beaver, Jefferson City, Mo., for petitioner.
Ronald Petracca, Washington, D.C. (Edward C. Stringer and Ronald B. Petracca, on the brief), for respondent.
Before McMILLIAN, Circuit Judge, FLOYD R. GIBSON, Senior Circuit Judge, and WOLLMAN, Circuit Judge.
The State of Missouri Department of Social Services ("DSS") petitions pursuant to 20 U.S.C. § 1234g for review of a final agency action by the United States Department of Education ("Education"). Specifically, DSS challenges an order of the Secretary of Education ("Secretary") directing DSS to pay back $198,572.641 in grant monies received through Education's Vocational Rehabilitation ("VR") program because DSS failed to account properly for its use of the funds, as required by Education's regulations. Application of State of Mo., Dep't of Social Serv., No. 89-32-R (Dep't of Educ. Oct. 26, 1990) (affirming decision and order of the ALJ). In this petition for review, DSS argues that the Secretary erred in finding that (1) an allocation plan approved by the United States Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"), which governs "indirect costs" of DSS, did not authorize the VR expenditures in dispute because they are "direct costs" under the applicable regulations and (3) DSS has not proven that its failure to account properly for the expenditures is excused by "mitigating circumstances" as defined by the regulations. For the reasons discussed below, we deny the petition for review.
Under the Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 701-796i, Education is the federal agency responsible for administering the federal VR program. Accordingly, Education distributes grant monies to states to assist them in providing services to handicapped individuals. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1985 ("FY85"), Education awarded the State of Missouri a grant to help fund VR services in the state. DSS received and was responsible for administering this grant.
During FY85, some DSS employees worked both on the federally-funded VR services and on state-funded programs under the Missouri Bureau of the Blind ("BOB"). DSS channeled $190,510.64 in VR grant monies toward its employees' salaries in FY85. However, no one kept time and attendance records, or any other records, of the proportionate amount of employee time spent on these two separate cost objectives, although DSS apparently did conduct a time study of employee activity during four nonconsecutive weeks in 1985.
A state auditor examined DSS' accounting practices for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1984, and June 30, 1985. As a result, the auditor reported accounting violations in connection with VR expenditures for personnel salaries. Specifically, the auditor found that DSS' accounting practices did not comply with the following federal regulation:
Amounts charged to grant programs for person[nel] services, regardless of whether treated as direct or indirect costs, will be based on payrolls documented and approved in accordance with generally accepted practice of the State or local agency. Payrolls must be supported by time and attendance or equivalent records for individual employees. Salaries and wages of employees chargeable to more than one grant program or other cost objective will be supported by appropriate time distribution records. The method used should produce an equitable distribution of time and effort.
34 C.F.R. Pt. 74, app. C, pt. II.B.10.b (1985). In addition, the auditor considered the 1985 four-week time study of DSS employee activity and concluded that it was not statistically valid.
By letter dated July 21, 1989, Education served DSS with notice of disallowance of $475,718.10 in past VR funding on grounds that an audit of DSS' VR accounts revealed improper accounting of that amount. DSS sought review of this determination and the matter was heard on May 4, 1990, by an Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") at Education. The ALJ issued a Decision and Order dated August 30, 1990, finding, among other things, that because of improper accounting practices, DSS owed Education $190,510.64 for VR expenditures during FY85.2 DSS appealed the ALJ's decision to the Secretary of Education and the Secretary affirmed. Application of State of Mo., Dep't of Social Serv., No. 89-32-R (Dep't of Educ. Oct. 26, 1990) (hereinafter "slip op."). This petition for review followed.
"Direct" versus "indirect" costs
DSS first argues that the Secretary erred in finding that a cost allocation plan approved by HHS, DSS' "federal cognizant agency," which covered the relevant time period, did not authorize DSS' VR expenditures for employee salaries, even though the cost allocation plan included salary distribution procedures for employees working on BOB programs. We disagree.
HHS is undisputedly the "federal cognizant agency" designated to approve cost allocation plans for DSS pursuant to 34 C.F.R. Pt. 74, app. C, pt. I.J.4.b (1985), which states:
At the grantee department level in a State, a single Federal agency will have responsibility ... for the negotiation, approval and audit of the indirect cost proposal. Cognizant Federal agencies have been designated for this purpose.
However, based upon the above-cited provision, the Secretary found that the HHS-approved cost allocation plan at issue applied only to "indirect costs." Slip op. at 3. By contrast, the disputed expenditures on employee salaries were determined to be "direct costs." Id. "Direct costs" are defined at 34 C.F.R. Pt. 74, app. C, pt. I.E.1., 2. (1985) as follows:Direct costs are those that can be identified specifically with a particular cost objective.
... Typical direct costs chargeable to grant programs are ... [c]ompensation of employees for time and effort devoted specifically to the execution of grant programs.
The Secretary thus found HHS' approval of the cost allocation plan in question irrelevant. Slip op. at 3.
On review of Education's interpretation of its own regulations, our standard "is a narrow one, deferential to the agency's interpretation of its own regulations and only permitting reversal if the agency action is without a rational basis." Education Assistance Corp. v. Cavazos, 902 F.2d 617, 622 (8th Cir.1990) (Cavazos ); see also Lile v. University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics, 886 F.2d 157, 160 (8th Cir.1989) (in technical area, agency decision based upon interpretation of specific term in agency's own regulation entitled to broad deference). The Secretary's determination that the HHS-approved cost allocation plan does not satisfy Education's record-keeping requirements is based upon a rational interpretation of Education's own regulations and, in fact, is within the plain meaning of the regulations. Accordingly, we will not set aside this finding.3
The Secretary found that no "mitigating circumstances" exist to relieve DSS of its obligation to return the $190,510.64 in dispute. Slip op. at 3. The Secretary determined that the evidence did not support a finding that HHS ever adopted a cost allocation plan which included a division between VR and BOB time distribution and that a letter to DSS from the Regional Commissioner for Education's Region VII did not tend to show that DSS reasonably relied on representations of the Regional Commissioner because the letter was sent to DSS one month after the end of the fiscal year. Id.
DSS argues that the Secretary erred by failing to find "mitigating circumstances" in this case, as set forth in 34 C.F.R. § 81.23(a), (c) (1990). Subsection (a) of § 81.23 provides:
(a) A recipient that is a State or local educational agency and that has made an unallowable expenditure or otherwise failed to account properly for funds is not required to return any amount that is attributable to the mitigating circumstances described in paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of this section.
Subsection (c), referenced in subsection (a) above, provides:
(c) Mitigating circumstances exist if it would be unjust to compel the recovery of funds because the recipient's violation was caused by [Education's] failure to provide timely guidance. To prove mitigating circumstances under this paragraph, the recipient shall prove that--
(1) The recipient in good faith submitted a written request for guidance with respect to the legality of a proposed expenditure or practice;(2) The request was submitted to [Education] at the address provided by notice published in the Federal Register under this section;
(3) The request--
(i) Accurately described the proposed expenditure or practice; and
(ii) Included the facts necessary for [Education's] determination of its legality;
(4) The request contained the certification of the chief legal officer of the appropriate State educational agency that the officer--
(i) Examined the proposed expenditure or practice; and
(ii) Believed it was permissible under the State and Federal law applicable at the time of the certification;
(5) The recipient reasonably believed the proposed expenditure or practice was permissible under State and Federal law applicable at the time it submitted the request to [Education];
(6) No [Education] official authorized to provide the requested guidance responded to the request within 90 days of its receipt by [Education]; and
(7) The recipient made the proposed expenditure or engaged in the proposed practice after the expiration of the 90-day period.
Id. § 81.23(c) (emphasis added). DSS argues that because it has met the specific criterion set forth in (c)(5) above, it is entitled to relief from the Secretary's order.
Contrary to DSS' mistaken assumption, § 81.23(c) requires compliance with all the criteria set forth above, not just one of them. Section 81.23 is the interpretation of a statute (20 U.S.C. § 1234b) by the agency charged with administering the statute and therefore is entitled to considerable weight and deference upon review. Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. NRDC, 467 U.S. 837, 844, 104 S.Ct. 2778, 2782, 81 L.Ed.2d 694 (1984); Federal Election Comm'n v. Democratic Senatorial Campaign Comm., 454 U.S. 27, 31-32, 102 S.Ct. 38, 42, 70 L.Ed.2d 23 (1981). Reviewing the Secretary's interpretation of § 81.23 under the narrow, deferential standard described above, we hold that the Secretary's interpretation is not without a rational basis. See, e.g., Cavazos, 902 F.2d at 622. We further hold that the Secretary's finding that the HHS-approved cost allocation plan and the letter from the Regional Commissioner lack probative value is supported by substantial evidence in the record and reflects an application of proper legal standards. See Bell v. New Jersey, 461 U.S. 773, 792, 103 S.Ct. 2187, 2198, 76 L.Ed.2d 312 (1983). Accordingly, we decline to set aside the Secretary's decision that DSS has failed to prove mitigating circumstances so as to relieve DSS of its obligation to return the funds in dispute.
While we acknowledge that some extenuating circumstances may exist to explain DSS' confusion over its record-keeping responsibilities, we decline to set aside the Secretary's findings that DSS is obligated to return the disputed $190,510.64 on grounds of improper accounting of these direct costs and that DSS' actions are not excused by mitigating circumstances as that term is specifically defined in the regulations. Accordingly, this petition for review is denied.
Of this amount, DSS agrees that it owes $8,062.00, but disputes its obligation to refund the remaining $190,510.64
The ALJ found DSS owed Education a total of $198,572.64; of that amount, DSS does not dispute its liability for $8,062.00. Recovery of the remaining amount originally sought by Education, approximately $277,000, either was not due or was barred by the statute of limitations
At the administrative level, DSS additionally suggested that it nonetheless satisfied that portion of the regulation which permits "equivalent records." 34 C.F.R. Pt. 74, app. C, pt. II.B.10.b. The regulation provides: "[p]ayrolls must be supported by time and attendance or equivalent records for individual employees. Salaries and wages ... chargeable to more than one grant program or other cost objective will be supported by appropriate time distribution records. The method used should produce an equitable distribution of time and effort." Id. (emphasis added). Although DSS admitted that it did not keep employee time and attendance records, it claimed that the 1985 time study, or alternatively the HHS-approved cost allocation plan, produced an equitable distribution of employee time and effort spent on the VR and BOB programs during FY85 and thus is equivalent to time and attendance records. In briefs submitted to this court, DSS did not appeal the Secretary's determination that DSS failed to meet the "equivalent records" portion of the regulation; however, in response to oral argument to this effect, we hold that the Secretary's interpretation of the "equivalent records" portion of 34 C.F.R. Pt. 74, app. C, pt. II.B.10.b does not lack a rational basis and that there is substantial evidence in the record to support the Secretary's determination that neither the 1985 time study nor the HHS-approved cost allocation plan can be considered "equivalent records."


This hairy Muth is even grumpier than its herd mates. Probably not the best choice for a petting zoo.
The Mega Muth is a sub-species of a Muth in Super Paper Mario. They reside in Castle Bleck and will attempt to attack any intruder. Despite their name, Mega Muths are the same size as standard Muths; however, Mega Muths have 200 HP and are worth a large amount of points. Sometimes, these enemies give players a head start and prepare to charge at the player. They are very strong, even stronger than Super Dimentio. While they both have 200 HP, Mega Muths have higher attack power (8 instead of 5), though Super Dimentio's body has greater defense. Stronger versions called Dark Muths are found in the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials. Despite their larger strength, their Catch Card is more common than that of normal Muths. Due to their large amount of HP, it can be beneficial to repeatedly use Action Commands to gain points quickly.

Condition Monitoring System has increased in importance as more engineering processes become automated and the manpower needed to operate and supervise was reduced.
The economics of industries has also changed, specifically as a result of the privatization and deregulation of the energy industry in many countries, placing a greater significance on the importance of reliable operation and products.
Finally the availability of advanced electronics and software in powerful instrumentation, computers and digital signal processors has simplified and extended our ability to instrument and analyse machinery, including the visualization of results from complex condition monitoring analysis. Hereafter, condition monitoring is now being applied to a wider range of systems, from fault-tolerant drives of a few hundred watts in the aerospace industry, to machinery of several hundred megawatts in major capital plant.
The rotating electrical machines exist in all areas of our modern life at both domestic and industrial level. The average modern home contains 20-30 electric motors in the range of 0-1 kW for domestic appliances, clocks, toys, air conditioning or heating systems. Modern cars use electric motors for windows, windscreen wipers and is reported to incorporate more than 120 separate electrical machines.
The overall picture is that electrical machines comes in many sizes and fulfill their function either independently or as a part of a highly complex process in which all elements must function smoothly so that production can be maintained and a careful thought should be given to the most appropriate form of maintenance planning.
A SMART Solution for a SMART generation is to monitor all the parameters that are most critical to your process and bring the right information to the right person at the right time through Predictive Maintenance.
The system has been specifically developed to provide Productivity, Maintenance and Connectivity.
