What if you could have clean air that is crisp & fresh in your mortuary areas?
AiroFresh INTL is a technologically advanced, high volume air management system delivers substantial benefits to a diverse group of industries across the globe.
AiroFresh INTL offers inexpensive, safe green solutions to problems associated with managing mortuary and histopathology laboratory environments.
Air quality and odour remediation, formaldehyde and ozone risks.
Airofresh INTL has a unique, proven technology for keeping enclosed atmosphere clean without the use of capture and store filters or ozone in the working atmosphere.
Airofresh INTL BCU (biological control unit) available since 2016, is now established in many facilities throughout Australia.
Ozone has been popular in facilities. Workplace limits are 0.1ppm (extremely low) as ozone is a dangerous workplace gas. It is inappropriate in healthy working environments and at safe working levels does not destroy contaminants/fungi. The NFDA (US) advises against use of ozone generators in funeral facilities (either by UV or electric discharge).
WH&S claims in this area are rising as employees are becoming more aware and adversely affected. Employers need to take this potential liability seriously. It is not a difficult issue to address as an obvious ozone odor is generally detectable.
Airofresh INTL endorsed by medical and WH&S specialists destroys airborne contaminants including ozone, without these residues.
KEY BENEFITS: AIROFRESH BCU DESTROYS CONTAMINANTS FOR A SAFER, 24/7 CLEANER AND ENJOYABLE WORKPLACE.
We were particularly looking for an "operator and environmentally friendly way" to do three things for a safer, more pleasant workplace.
Namely, this was to control viral and other biological organisms and to reduce chemical and biological odour particulates.
The Airofresh BCU units require very little space and are easily moved as required between treatment rooms, the cold rooms and the trim room. Also, they seem to operate at a lower noise level than others we have heard.
The units run 24/7 and have noticeably reduced the long-term residual chemical and biological odours in the brick structures and room fittings. The Airofresh units operate providing a fresh work environment.
In cold rooms the units are very helpful with any moderate to severe biological odour reduction which is encountered from time to time in all funeral mortuaries.

GI Bill legal definition of GI Bill
https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/GI+Bill
Also found in: Financial.
The GI Bill created a comprehensive package of benefits, including financial assistance for higher education, for veterans of U.S. military service. The benefits of the GI Bill are intended to help veterans readjust to civilian life following service to their country and to encourage bright, motivated men and women to volunteer for military duty. This legislation came in two parts: the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 and the Montgomery GI Bill.
Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944
The first GI Bill was proposed and drafted by the American Legion, led by former Illinois governor John Stelle, during World War II. The public remembered a post-World War I recession, when millions of veterans returned to face unemployment and homelessness. Twice as many veterans would return from World War II, and widespread economic hardship was a real concern. A healthy postwar economy, it seemed, would depend on providing soldiers with a means to support themselves once they were back home.
Newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst became the bill's most ardent and vocal supporter. Hearst and his nationwide string of newspapers lobbied the public and members of Congress to support those who served their country, and his effort was a success. The bill unanimously passed both chambers of Congress in the spring of 1944. President franklin d. roosevelt signed the bill into law on June 22, 1944, just days after the D-Day invasion of Normandy (Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, ch. 268, 58 Stat. 284).
The original GI Bill offered veterans up to $500 a year for college tuition and other educational costs—ample funding at the time. An unmarried veteran also received a $50-a-month allowance for each month spent in uniform; a married veteran received slightly more. Other benefits included mortgage subsidies, enabling veterans to purchase homes with relative ease.
Despite initial misgivings over its success, the GI Bill proved to be enormously effective. Prior to its passage, detractors feared that paying the education expenses of veterans would lead to overcrowding at colleges, which before World War II were accessible predominantly to members of society's upper class. Critics were concerned that veterans would wreak havoc on educational standards and overburden campuses with their lack of preparation for the rigors of higher learning.
College campuses did become grossly over-crowded in the postwar years: approximately 7.8 million World War II veterans received benefits under the original GI Bill, and 2.2 million of those used the program for higher education. By 1947 half of all college students were veterans. Prefabricated buildings and Quonset huts were used as classrooms, and military barracks were often converted into dormitories. However, having spent a large part of their youth engaged in battle, World War II veterans were highly motivated. GIs in their late twenties and early thirties returned to the United States in droves, anxious to catch up with their nonmilitary peers, marry, settle down, and support a family. The benefits provided by the GI Bill facilitated these goals.
Veterans were not the only beneficiaries of the GI Bill. Colleges, with increased enrollments, received years of financial security following its enactment. Veterans demanded more practical college course work, and this need led to a changed concept of higher education, with more emphasis on degree programs like business and engineering. The lines of race, class, and religion blurred as higher education became attainable for all veterans. No longer was a college degree—and the higher paying jobs that normally follow it—limited to members of the upper class. Federal income increased as the average income of taxpayers in the United States increased, and as the veterans graduated from colleges, women and members of minorities enrolled to fill the gaps they left. The GI Bill's mortgage subsidies led to an escalated demand for housing and the development of suburbs. One-fifth of all single-family homes built in the 20 years following World War II were financed with help from the GI Bill's loan guarantee program, symbolizing the emergence of a new middle class.
Following the United States involvement in the Vietnam War and the end of the military draft in 1973, the number of qualified young adults willing to voluntarily serve in the military declined. In 1984 Representative G. V. ("Sonny") Montgomery (D-MS), chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, proposed a new GI Bill to encourage military service, even in times of peace. That year President ronald reagan signed into law the Montgomery GI Bill (38 U.S.C.A. § 1401), which as of the early 2000s continues to provide optional benefits for qualified U.S. veterans.
The Montgomery GI Bill is a voluntary plan that requires a contribution from the soldier who chooses to take part. Upon entry into the Armed Services, including the National Guard and military reserves, participants may elect to have their military pay reduced by $100 each month of the first 12 months of service. This sacrifice makes them eligible to receive up to $400 a month for 36 months toward tuition and other educational expenses. To receive these benefits, soldiers must receive an honorable discharge, earn a high school diploma or its equivalent, and serve in active duty for the length of their enlistment. The federal government supplies funding but does not set standards or administer the plan; the veterans administration determines whether a veteran is eligible, and the Colleges and Universities (including religious and vocational schools) make admissions policies and keep track of expenditures.
Effects of the GI Bill
The GI Bill, in both its versions, is widely regarded as a success. Military recruiters routinely promote its benefits as a way to attract and enlist the best and brightest young adults: in 1996, 95 percent of new armed services recruits were high school graduates and 94.8 percent of eligible recruits chose to enroll in the education program. (Three-fourths of all women and men who have enlisted since the program began have enrolled.)
In 2000, President bill clinton signed an amendment to the Montgomery GI Bill that allows for a "Top-Up" benefit. This benefit, which equals the difference between the total cost of a particular course and the amount of tuition assistance paid by the military, effectively allows enrollees to receive 100 percent tuition assistance. In 2001, President george w. bush signed two additional bills. The Veterans' Opportunities Act of 2001 (Pub. L. 107-14) became law on June 5, 2001 and the 21st Century GI Enhancement Act (Pub. L. 107-103) became law on December 27, 2001. Both bills amended Title 38 to provide greater benefits to service men and women.
Beneficiaries of the GI Bill include Presidents george h. w. bush and gerald r. ford; Vice President albert gore jr.; Chief Justice william h. rehnquist and Justice John Paul Stevens, both of the U.S. Supreme Court; Secretary of State Warren M. Christopher; journalists David Brinkley and John Chancellor; actors Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, and Jason Robards Jr.; and former Dallas Cowboys football coach Tom Landry.

It uses these data about military personnel already enrolled in U.S.

Q: In which episode of Doctor Who is the Tardis a Red Police Box and is there a significance for it? I have seen a few pictures of a Red Police Box in the Doctor Who sites, but there are no particulars as to its significance. Can anyone help me out? I am trying to write a fiction based on the Red Tardis.

A: You may be thinking of The Happiness Patrol (three Seventh Doctor episodes, Season 25 Serial 2), in which the TARDIS is pink for a while. From the transcript:

(The Doctor and Ace return to see the Tardis is now pink.)
  ACE: Professor, look what they've done!
  DOCTOR: Yes, it looks rather good.
  DAISY: You look rather unhappy about something.
  DOCTOR: On the contrary. Just admiring your handiwork. [To Ace] Huh, miserable looking thing, wasn't it?

Thanks to @Valorum who found the full video online and also an image:

The significance of it in this story is that they are on a planet where sadness is illegal, and blue is associated with sadness while pink is a more jolly colour. (The episode was intended to be a satire on Thatcherism. Some reviewers have claimed there's a gay subtext in the pink TARDIS, but this theory doesn't seem to be widely believed.)
Other than that, the TARDIS has never canonically been red, outside of jokes and spoofs:

Learning From Animal Friendships
by Erica Goode, the New York Times
A goat frolics with a baby rhinoceros. A pig nestles up to a house cat. A rat snake makes nice with the dwarf hamster originally intended as its lunch.
Few things seem to capture the public imagination more reliably than friendly interactions between different species — a fact not lost on Anheuser-Busch, which during Sunday's Super Bowl will offer a sequel to "Puppy Love," its wildly popular 2014 Budweiser commercial about friendship between a Clydesdale and a yellow Labrador puppy. The earlier Super Bowl spot has drawn more than 55 million views on YouTube.
Videos of unlikely animal pairs romping or snuggling have become so common that they are piquing the interest of some scientists, who say they invite more systematic study. Among other things, researchers say, the alliances could add to an understanding of how species communicate, what propels certain animals to connect across species lines and the degree to which some animals can adopt the behaviors of other species.
"There's no question that studying these relationships can give you some insight into the factors that go into normal relationships," said Gordon Burghardt, a professor in the departments of psychology and ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Tennessee, who added that one video he liked to show students was of a small and persistent tortoise tussling over a ball with a Jack Russell terrier.
"Even one example raises the possibility that there's something interesting going on here," Dr. Burghardt said.
Science has not entirely ignored unusual interactions between species. Biologists have described relationships formed to achieve a specific goal, like the cooperative hunting between groupers and moray eels. And in the mid-1900s, Konrad Lorenz and other ethologists demonstrated that during critical periods after birth, certain birds and other animals would follow the first moving object they saw, whether animal, human or machine, a phenomenon known as imprinting. Dr. Lorenz was famously photographed with a gaggle of "imprinted" geese trailing behind him.
Yet until recently, any suggestion that interspecies relationships might be based simply on companionship would probably have been met with derision, dismissed as Pixar-like anthropomorphism. That has changed as research has gradually eroded some boundaries between homo sapiens and other animals. Other species, it turns out, share abilities once considered exclusive to humans, including some emotions, tool use, counting, certain aspects of language and even a moral sense.
To be sure, some scientists remain skeptical that the examples of cross-species relations offer much more to science than a hefty dose of cuteness.
Clive Wynne, a professor of psychology at Arizona State University, said that the videos he has seen all portray interactions that take place "in a human-controlled environment."
"To me, that's what kind of removes what would otherwise be interesting," he said. "Because it ceases to be directly a story about animal behavior and becomes a story about human impact on the environment, like the difference between gardening and the beauty of natural landscape." But others see fertile ground for investigation even in bonds formed in captivity or other domesticated settings. "There are so many questions," said Barbara Smuts, a primate researcher at the University of Michigan who in 1985 shocked some of her colleagues by applying the word "friendship" to describe bonds between female baboons. "We know this is happening between all sorts of species. I think eventually the scientific community will catch up."

Informal Groups of States: A Growing Role in EU Foreign Policy After Brexit?
Aniseh Bassiri Tabrizi
RUSI Journal, 17 October 2018
Brexit, European Union, UK
Groups of states acting outside formal EU mechanisms may allow the UK to contribute to European foreign policy.
In this article, Aniseh Bassiri Tabrizi argues that, in the aftermath of Brexit, informal groups of states are likely to become a frequently adopted tool for EU member states when dealing with foreign policy issues. Because of their features, such frameworks enable the UK to continue to cooperate with the EU on an ad hoc basis on areas of mutual concern. Further, they grant a much-needed flexibility compared with treaty-based provisions.

Too Close to Home: A Novel (Paul McGrath #2) (Paperback)
By Andrew Grant
Have a question? Please let us know and we will reply as soon as we can. Thanks!
This is book number 2 in the Paul McGrath series.
#1: Invisible: A Novel (Paul McGrath #1) (Hardcover): $27.00
Kobo eBook (January 6th, 2020): $9.99
Hardcover (January 7th, 2020): $28.00
His cover: courthouse janitor. His cause: justice. But when Paul McGrath uncovers a shocking connection to a file of missing evidence, he finds the truth sometimes hits a little too close to home.
An intelligence agent-turned-courthouse janitor, Paul McGrath notices everything and everyone—but no one notices him. It's the perfect cover for the justice he seeks for both his father and the people who've been wronged by a corrupt system. Now he's discovered a missing file on Alex Pardew—the man who defrauded and likely murdered McGrath's father but avoided conviction, thanks in large part to the loss of this very file. And what lies behind its disappearance is even worse than McGrath had feared.
Meanwhile, at the courthouse, he stumbles on the case of Len Hendrie, a small businessman who's been accused of torching a venture capitalist's mansion. Though Hendrie admits starting the fire, McGrath learns how the VC has preyed on average Joes to benefit himself—and his extensive wine collection. McGrath can't resist looking deeper into this financial predator and soon finds himself in a gray area between his avenging moral compass and the limits of the law.
Then, just as the Hendrie case is heating up, McGrath receives word of the death of his father's former housekeeper, sending him back to his family home to confront unfinished business from his past. And he's about to find some unwelcome truths about the mother he lost as a child—and the father who hid even more secrets than he realized.

Els Jardins de Winston Churchill és un parc urbà situat a la cantonada inferior de la intersecció de la Via Augusta, 257 i la Ronda del General Mitre, 69-71, al districte de Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, i, més concretament, al barri de Les Tres Torres de Barcelona (Barcelonès), molt a prop de l'estació dels Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat (FGC) de les Tres Torres. Els jardins van ser inaugurats el 15 de desembre de 2012. Amb una superfície total de 0,07 hectàrees i forma triangular conté parterres de gespa, zones de sauló i paviment dur, complementat per bancs de fusta.

L'emplaçament ret homenatge a sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965), polític i escriptor britànic, Primer Ministre del Regne Unit durant la Segona Guerra Mundial i els anys de postguerra, així com Premi Nobel de Literatura l'any 1953. A més a més, en un dels seus extrems, hi ha una escultura en forma de monòlit, de l'escultor Pep Codó, en el seu honor, realitzada l'any 2012.

Escultura a Winston Churchill
En homenatge, s'encarregà, a l'artista santcugatenc Pep Codó, una escultura, específicament un monòlit de roca de basalt, de 2,20 metres d'alçada amb l'efígie esculpida del primer ministre, abillat amb el seu característic corbatí. El cost de la peça artística fou sufragat per la Fundació Catalunya Oberta, com queda recollit, també, a la base circular i metàl·lica de la mateixa, on es van gravar les següents inscripcions:

Vegetació
Les espècies vegetals plantades són l'abèlia lluent (Abelia x grandiflora), l'àlber (Populus alba), l'heura (Hedera helix),la lantana comuna (Lantana strigocamara), la magnòlia (Magnolia grandiflora),la parkinsònia (Parkinsonia aculeata) i la troana (Ligustrum lucidum). Història
 Iniciativa i antecedents
La ciutat de Barcelona ja disposava d'espais, en les seves vies públiques, reservats a destacats i celebres estadistes i polítics estrangers, de diferents tendències ideològiques dins de l'àmbit de la democràcia liberal, com ara a diversos presidents dels Estatus Units amb el Carrer de Washington, el Carrer de Lincoln i la Plaça de John F. Kennedy; al canceller de la República Federal Alemanya i alcalde de Berlín Occidental amb la Plaça de Willy Brandt; o al primer ministre de Suècia amb la Plaça d'Olof Palme. Si bé aquest no era el cas de Winston Churchill.

Concretament la idea original de que Barcelona dediqués alguna part del seu espai urbà a la persona de Winston Churchill va ser impulsada, el 2005, per la Fundació Catalunya Oberta, de la mà del qui, aleshores, era el seu president Joan Guitart, que així ho va traslladar, apostant per la situació actual, a l'alcalde Joan Clos. Si bé va arribar a entrar a la ponència del nomenclàtor, no tingué més recorregut. En aquell moment, per aportar agilitat, la Fundació també va proposar un espai alternatiu, un de molt proper, i sense nom establert, a la Plaça de Francesc Macià, conformat per l'espai interior, però públic, entre els edificis Winterthur, Torre Godó, els Habitatges Quinta Avenida del carrer del Comte d'Urgell i el què, en aquell moment, era ocupat per El Corte Inglés.

Inicialment, es volia tenir-ho enllestir abans que acabés el 2005, any en què s'acomplien els seixanta anys de la fi de la Segona guerra mundial i els quaranta anys de la mort del qui havia estat primer ministre britànic.

 Aprovació per part de l'Ajuntament de Barcelona
Definitivament la iniciativa es començà a materialitzar quan el 6 de maig de 2010, el Consell Municipal del Districte de Sarrià-Sant Gervasi aprovà una proposta de CiU, i amb el suport de forma unànime de la resta de formacions amb representació al districte (PSC, ICV-EUiA i PP), de dedicar un espai públic a Winston Churchill, indicant, justament, la ubicació actual si, abans d'acabar l'any 2010, no se'n trobava cap altra de més adient.

El 8 de març de 2012, es traslladà la proposta al Consell plenari de la ciutat, sent aprovada de forma unànime per totes les forces polítiques amb representació (CiU, PSC-PM, PP, ICV-EUiA i ERC-UpB), de tal forma que, els jardins públics situats a la cantonada inferior dels encreuaments de la Via Augusta amb la Ronda del General Mitre, històricament sense cap denominació, passaven a ser els Jardins de Winston Churchill.

Paral·lelament la Fundació Catalunya Oberta havia encarregat i sufragat econòmicament un monòlit a l'escultor Pep Codó, perquè fos hi fos també emplaçat.

 Inauguració
El 15 de desembre de 2012, s'inauguraren els jardins amb la col·locació de l'escultura d'homenatge, acte presenciat per l'alcalde de Barcelona, Xavier Trias; el president i el secretari de la Fundació Catalunya Oberta, Joan Oliver i Lluís Prenafeta; la besnéta de l'estadista, Jennie Churchill Repard; i el cònsol general del Regne Unit a Barcelona, Andrew Gwatkin, entre altres.

 Motius de la dedicació de l'espai públic

La ciutat de Barcelona, amb la dedicació d'aquest espai públic, vol ressaltar, especialment, el rècord i reconeixement que va tenir el primer ministre britànic cap a la capital catalana en el transcurs de la Segona Guerra Mundial, quan en el cèlebre i recordat discurs Aquesta va ser la seva hora més gloriosa pronunciat a la Cambra dels Comuns, el 18 de juny de 1940, va informar de la presa de Paris per part de l'exèrcit alemany; davant d'aquesta situació, emplaçà al conjunt de la ciutadania britànica a la resistència mostrada pels barcelonins durant els bombardejos aeris del bàndol franquista durant la Guerra Civil Espanyola. Concretament, les paraules expressades foren les següents:

Sense oblidar la seva defensa, fins a les últimes conseqüències, de la llibertat i la democràcia lliberal durant el mateix conflicte armat, que quedà tan ben plasmat en el seu discurs més conegut, "Sang, suor i llàgrimes", que fou el primer realitzat en el càrrec, davant també de la Cambra baixa del Parlament britànic, 13 de maig de 1940.

De tal manera que, durant l'acte d'inauguració de l'espai i el monument, el 15 de desembre de 2012, l'alcalde Xavier Trias, així ho va fer saber als presents.

 Rebuig i polèmica

Tot i que la iniciativa tingué el suport unànime de totes les formacions polítiques presents en el consistori barceloní, no evità generar cert grau de polèmica i rebuig en alguns sectors.

En l'àmbit polític, la Candidatura d'Unitat Popular (CUP), en aquells moments sense representació al municipi ni al districte, es posicionà clarament en contra, qüestionant els mèrits i esgrimint un llistat de greuges no tinguts en compte.. Al mateix temps van mostrar el seu desacord el periodista Lluís Permanyer en un article, el 27 de desembre de 2012, al diari La Vanguardia, en aquest mateix mitjà, es publicaren diverses cartes al director de lectors conformes i d'altres disconformes amb la mesura adoptada. Altres figures que es pronunciaren foren l' escriptora i sociòloga Eulàlia Solé a través d'un article, del 21 de desembre de 2012, també, a La Vanguardia, indicant una desavinença absoluta. Així com l'escriptor Víctor Alexandre també es mostrà en desacord, tot i estar satisfet perquè un santcugatenc en fos l'autor de l'escultura.

Principalment les crítiques se centraven en la passivitat de Churchill davant la dictadura franquista, que afavoriren la seva consolidació i continuïtat, primer durant la guerra civil espanyola, mitjançant la postura de no intervenció en el conflicte, no nt el bàndol republicà, que es concretà amb la constitució del Comitè de No-intervenció, i més tard, permetre la permanència de la dictadura, per part dels aliats, després de la Segona Guerra Mundial.

Al seu torn, la Fundació Catalunya Oberta qualificà, literalment, d'absurdes'' les opinions que posaven en dubte els reconeixements de Churchill.

In an era when the much bemoaned 'career politician' is king and MPs are regularly drafted into constituencies far away from their upbringing or any real emotional attachment, David Lammy speaks in a refreshingly passionate way about the area he grew up in and now represents.
Breaking away from party political lines, he suggests that lessons can be learned on both the right and left of British politics from the destruction of the riots in August 2011.
On the topic of the family in modern British society, he takes an attitude far closer to the socially conservative than the social democratic. His condemnation of absentee fathers is stark. Having learned the hard way about the shortfalls of single parent families he is careful not to criticise single mothers who struggle desperately, as his own did, to raise children in tough circumstances. But he doesn't shy away from the simple fact that two parents is better than one.
His recollection of a conversation with Gordon Brown after a Cabinet meeting is telling of an attitude of simply throwing money at problems which was endemic in the last government. When Lammy suggests to Brown that the government should do more to help single working mothers with little time on their hand to give their children the socialisation they need, Brown replied simply: "Tax credits."
But this isn't a book which simply looks to throw mud at the previous administration - nor to the Conservatives. He acknowledges the motivations and successes of the economic revolution of the 1980s but suggests it did little to foster a sense of social responsibility - creating a new age of 'me first' individualism. This is exacerbated by the social liberal revolution of the 1960s.
Essentially he argues that those who carried out the riots have a warped sense of manhood. Bling is not best. Without father figures, young men in his constituency have no decent role models to aspire to. The socialisation once provided by family, church and other groups is no longer there and is too often replaced by MTV and a consumer culture that tells young minds that respect is gained by the acquirement of goods, rather than earned. An appreciation of deferred gratification is lacking.
There are suggestions on how to improve the situation, mainly in education and criminal justice. He argues for greater rehabilitation in prisons as well as 'reintegration', suggesting that criminals should get more assistance upon leaving prison to find work and become full members of society again. He refers to the Heron wing of Feltham young offenders institution as a fine example, only to discover it was shut down in February this year.
In education he suggests more needs to be done to plug the massive shortage of male teachers at primary school level. He also addresses different education styles for expelled children and points to the success of Tottenham Boxing Academy.
At times Lammy overuses statistics which can make some passages a little dry, although some do really stick in the mind – 70% of three-year-olds recognise the MacDonald's symbol while less than half know their own surname.
It's a very digestible book. Though most likely to appeal to a politicised audience, it is accessible to all with little or no prior knowledge of politics. For a political class with little genuine experience of poverty it makes important reading.

Album Review: Sundrugs – Low
Kevin Kurber
In the world of album artwork, there's an adage that sticks to a certain portion of the population. Any artwork over history depicting the artist doing what they do – that is, performing the music – with little more than the artist's face, with or without their instrument, is the most obvious example. Where faceless artwork in concerned, there's sometimes a subtle motif found in the visuals that asserts itself as a defining metaphor to the music, intentional or not. The adage in question is this – you get exactly what it says on the tin. Though it isn't always exact, as ambiguity in art would have it. The farfetched point I'm trying to make here is that on the cover for Low, Sundrugs' latest in ambient drone wizardry, one of these motifs can be found, and it has a lot to say.
Looking back at 2013's Hidden Scenes, an album that perpetually blurred the line between fear and comfort, this theory proves consistent. Nestled in the fingers of the artwork's unknown character lays a cigarette, a symbol in and of itself but also congruent with the album's themes of coming down and more literally the smoke itself. With this year's Low, we get a similarly hazy art house-esque image to summarize the thick, murky nature of the music. Only this time, the contrast is greater. Outstretched is an open hand with a bright light within orbit of its palm. This emphasis on focus and light illustrates quite well the nature of Low's evolution from Hidden Scenes.
Immediately you get a taste of this newfound light via the opener, simply titled "•••". When "Further" comes around, it begins with the familiar formless moans that compose Sundrugs' craft, only woven into the mist this time around are soft blares from a computer terminal meshed with a circling repetition of muffled techno bits to create a vague sense of activity. "Cheating the Bats" builds up this newfound taste for old-school electronics into a brittle static noise-collage from the same broken transmission as a Oneohtrix Point Never station, while "Melanistic Aberration" dives head-on into ambient techno homage in zero gravity.
While effectively employing remnants of forsaken spacecraft, Sundrugs successfully upkeeps his established taffy-pulled ambience. Though occasionally more black-and-white with its intentions, the Warsaw producer still knows what works – he just puts it to better use. Closer "2082" is virtually interchangeable with any of the tracks from Hidden Scenes, and at just under 22 minutes, it offers a chance to indulge profoundly into the complete Sundrugs experience. When he isn't falling back on what works, he's pushing his own envelope. "Let's Can't Sleep Together" breaks the emotional doors wide open with a beautifully succinct piano intro before getting swept up into a swirling starshow of absolutely sumptuous depth, more fully realized and effective than anything he has recorded to date. The other highlight is "Billion of Light Years", which is notable for being the only track with a discernible rhythm, throbbing with marble beats and drifting along the course of a stable subaquatic piano. These moments define ethereal, and do it with a nod and a wink to a greater understanding of the term than before.
Saying nothing of his already alluring hazy soundscapes, Sundrugs successfully sharpens his craft and fleshes it out with more character and presence by implementing a more focused emphasis on the spacey and the electronic, coating his cinematic versatility with a newfound sci-fi affinity. If you've been following Sundrugs, then Low is the next step up you've been looking forward to. For it is here we can begin to make more sense and find a little bit of light in the warming darkness.

High Deficit in the Offing
The political compulsions of the UF Government will ensure a rise in the fiscal deficit which will hamper growth, say economists and industry captains
SUNIL JAIN
ISSUE DATE: July 31, 1996
THEGOVERNMENT'S DECISION to almost treble the subsidies on phosphatic and potassic fertilisers this fortnight is perhaps the clearest indication of what the budget has in store. In one stroke, it neutralised the gains of another decision taken last fortnight-the sharp hike in petroleum prices. At a time when the budget is under severe strain, most economists welcomed the hike despite its obvious inflationary impact. They argued that though the effect on prices is bound to be significant (see next story), the decision was overdue since these prices hadn't been raised for the last 30 months. But there is clearly a pattern to the Government's policy actions, all of which point to the likelihood of the fiscal deficit increasing substantially this year.
One of the United Front (UF) Government's first actions, for example, was to withdraw some of its austerity measures in the face of a fierce onslaught by its Communist members who said these would hit the middle-classes. Even the petroleum price hike left the price of kerosene (subsidy: Rs 4,870 crore) out of its ambit as this would be seen as hitting the poor. In the event, the burden of subsidies in areas like kerosene and domestic cooking gas is to be borne by motor spirit (around Rs 7,400 crore) and aviation fuel.
As S.P. Gupta, Director, Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), says, attempts to implement the promises made in the Common Minimum Programme (CMP) will also push expenditure out of control. With expenditure control difficult to achieve, the budget is likely to concentrate on raising revenues. According to P. Shome, director of the National Institute of Public Finance & Policy (NIPFP), excise rules may be tightened and changes made in depreciation norms to ensure profitable companies do not sidestep taxes.
Understandably, few are hopeful of a reduction in the fiscal deficit Gupta, in fact, talks of this rising to 7 per cent of the GDP. In which case government borrowings will rise further these have gone up from Rs 3,676 crore in 1992-93 to Rs 25,498 crore in the interim budget for 1996-97. Apart from diverting resources that could otherwise have been used by the private sector, this means the current high levels of interest rates will prevail, if not get worse- in fact, last fortnight, major financial institutions in the country raised their prime lending rates from 16 per cent to 17 per cent. Under the circumstances, the CMP's 12 per cent industrial growth target for the year is unlikely to be met- 8 to 9 per cent looks more realistic. According to RPG Group adviser D.H. Pai Panandikar, the severe shortages of critical infrastructure like power will also hit industrial growth-since, as Panandikar believes, the budget will cut development expenditure further, the power crisis is likely to worsen.
High government expenditure also means increased demand, and will add to the inflationary potential in the economy. Last fortnight's fuel hikes alone are expected to add around 3-4 per cent to the inflation in the country. In the immediate future, this means that inflation levels could go as high as 9-10 per cent, though the average for the year would be around 7 per cent- roughly the same as last year's. Of course, if the Government decides to go in for massive procurement-price hikes for farmers-the pressure for this is building up-inflation will shoot up.
While the budget will provide a clearer picture of the Government's intentions, the country's investors seem pessimistic. Periodic investment outlook surveys by the National Council for Applied Economic Research and the Confederation of Indian Industry confirm this. INDIA TODAY presents the views of some top economists and captains of industry:
THEORETICALLY, THE REDUCTION in fiscal deficit, from the present 5.9 per cent to 5 per cent, is not impossible. The austerity measures announced, if successful, could result in a reduction of around 0.1 per cent of GDP. A minimum corporate tax could provide a large part of the balance funds, but instead the Government may go in for some modification of Section 115J-this could give them an additional 0.25 per cent of GDP.
Another option is to disallow MODVAT credit on items like tobacco and petroleum products-this reduces tax collections by about 0.2-0.3 per cent of GDP. Several OECD countries which have introduced VA T maintain traditional excises on such items. I don't see much scope for increased funds from customs revenue. Rates here are supposed to fall.
It may not be possible to bridge the gap of around 0.3 per cent of GDP by cutting expenditure as there are a lot more demands on the budget this time. Nor do I expect much on the PSUs front. The budget will talk of the increased private-sector role in infrastructure but there are a lot of non-tax reasons for why this isn't happening; I don't see how the budget can tackle these.
RAISING REVENUE WILL BE Easier than cutting expenditures. More funds can be raised from the corporate sector. I'm not in favour of a minimum-tax regime-it's better to put a ceiling on depreciation for tax purposes. High-earning professionals have to be taxed more effectively.
Subsidies cannot be done away with but can be controlled. One way is to allot foodgrains to states at the Central Issue Price for those below the poverty line who are covered by the PDS right now-subsidy beyond this is to be borne by the states. The scheme can be extended to the poor who are not covered by the PDS over a few years.
To prune government expenditure, you need to define the duty of the states, and pull the Centre out of these areas. Give the states more funds but hold them accountable for delivering in these areas. The earlier scheme of cutting plan assistance if a state doesn't spend the money given to it for a certain area and uses this else-where needs to be re-introduced in a modified form. Another option is to reduce the wages content of public programmes this can be done by involving NGOs and panchayats in the delivery systems.
GIVEN THE NUMBER OF Commitments in the CMP, and the resistance to any real austerity measures, restricting the fiscal deficit will be tough. In the event, the trend set by Manmohan Singh, of lowering tax rates, may stop. Reintroducing Section 115J of the In- come Tax Act to abolish zero-tax companies will hit growth.
The Government's priority should be to tackle the problem of the liquidity crunch and the high cost of capital faced by industry. The budget needs to look at the issue of a level playing field, especially as far as availability and cost of capital and the level of taxes are concerned. If a 12 per cent industrial growth is to be targeted, infrastructure facilities need to be augmented. For this, a transparent policy on private participation is essential.
WITH THE OPTIONS TO RAISE revenues somewhat limited and expenditure control equally difficult, the Government may cut developmental capital expenditures further in a bid to balance the budget-even the Congress did this when it was in power.
The problem is, while the Government expects the private sector to step in to bridge the gap in availability of infrastructure, this is far from certain. There are enough hindrances to ensure that private investors are driven away. After all, if the power policy allows for a 16 per cent return, the tariff to be charged gets calculated automatically. Yet, each state government is attempting to lower tariffs-at these tariffs, the projects become un-viable and not enough investment will come in. Similarly, despite all the policy statements, there are an equal number of such disincentives in the case of areas like roads or ports.
Under the circumstances, power and other infrastructure shortages can only get worse-the plant load factor of existing power plants is around 63 per cent, and cannot be increased much more. In which case, industrial growth will be badly affected.
IF THE GOVERNMENT IS SERIOUS about its statements in the common minimum programme, then it will have to go for a very high deficit-I'd say close to around 7 per cent of GDP. For example, they want to step up infrastructure spending from around 3.5 per cent of GDP in the early '90s to around 6 per cent; even if this is over a few years, it means that spending in this budget will also have to go up. Similarly, expenditure on education is to be doubled, from 3 per cent of GDP to 6 per cent. The promises to give essential articles to families below the poverty line at half the normal issue price will itself mean an additional expenditure on PDS of around Rs 7,000 crore.
With little hope of increasing revenues dramatically, this means a higher deficit. In any case, the proceeds from PSU disinvestment-the interim budget put this figure at Rs 5,000 crore for 1996-97-are also likely to fall short, with the Government expected to go slow on PSU restructuring. It isn't possible to make meaningful cuts in government expenditure unless privatisation is taken seriously.
This then means that the drain on the economy will continue, and the liquidity situation will continue to remain precarious. That will hit overall investment levels in the economy, the same way it has been doing for some time now. In which case, it is not possible to get an industrial growth of more than 8 or 9 per cent, certainly far lower than the 12 per cent being targeted by the Government.
THE GOVERNMENT'S PLAN TO put a 30 per cent tax on book profits will hamper growth. It will further reduce cash flows at a time when there is a liquidity crunch. In fact, while industry makes sure the money is efficiently spent and generates growth, there is no way of guaranteeing where the Government spends it-in that sense, it may be considered inefficient to tax industry more.
Only if the Government is able to control its expenditure can it lower its borrowings, and that is critical if the current high levels of interest are to be brought down.
To give a boost to infrastructure, the Government should look at setting up special funds to make loans available for this purpose, and perhaps even ensure that these are available at a concession. With NAVNEET SHARMA

- Lift the brake plate out of the hub. There will be a lot of brake dust, so gloves are advised.
- Lift up on opposite sides of the shoes so they pivot off the posts. Be prepared to chase the springs.
- Hold the shoes side-by-side, like a closed bear trap, postion the ends on the posts. The end of the shoes with the rounded notch go with the round post, the end with the flat surfaces goes with the brake lever post.
- Fold the shoes down like opening a bear trap. Be prepared for things to slip around and for the springs to come off in one or more places.
- Fiddle with the way the ends of the shoes fit on the posts. One end needs to be inside the recesses in the post and the other end needs to be on the flat part of the brake lever post.
- If the shoes bind when you try to fit them back into the hub, note the shiny spots on the shoes where they rub the hub, then use a flat file to take off some of the braks material.
I'm guessing it should all take no more than a half hour.
.......- Lift up on opposite sides of the shoes so they pivot off the posts. Be prepared to chase the springs.
I had my brake shoes off a while back to clean things up, and, although it was easy to get to them, the steps that I quoted above were giving me a problem. I could not figure out how to do it. I even made a special tool to help which worked good, but was not nearly as quick as "the trick."
I only have 11,000 miles on my bike but I have to really push down on the rear brake pedal for it to respond.Where is the rear brake drum adjuster located?
On the rear drum.....on the end of the cable that pulls on the brake lever. Move the nut farther in on the cable.
It's not like the old star adjusters on a car. Like Dave said, follow the brake cable to the back of the bike. The adjusting nut at the end of the cable will allow you to take out some of the slack and hopefully get your brakes working correctly.
If you find that you are at the end of adjustment, you can loosen the 10mm pinch bolt on the actuator arm and rotate it clockwise one position.
Where should the actuator arm be positioned on the cam for NEW shoes?
Where should the "SPLIT" be located in relation to the "INDICATOR" mark on the cam?
-The silence of indifference makes cowards of men.
I actually installed them short side facing out and it seemed to work much better. When I put it in short the thing pully had a lot of play and would jerk to one side when I started it and the wheel would wobble a lot. It still wobbles, just a little. The problem is mine does't look like that, it had a bevelled edge on one side.

A small adventure in opinionated literary criticism
Who Needs Church? There is Nature and Self.
Why did Emily Dickinson never join a church?
Upon reading many of Dickinson's poems, one cannot help to notice a consistent theme of spirituality throughout her writings. She mentions God, angels, faith, church and the Sabbath. However, she never joined a church! Even as her friends, siblings and father joined the Calvinist movement that pervaded her Massachusetts' society, she refused, even saying to a friend, "I am one of the lingering bad ones" (Emily Dickinson Museum). Was it that she thought herself damned? Why didn't Emily join a church as her loved ones did? Perhaps the answer lies in the era she lived in.
The 19th century was fraught with the urgent fight to blend strict Christian beliefs with that of emergent science. Darwinism, the periodic table of elements, the light bulb, and other scientific contributions to the world cast a shadow over the Christian belief of creationism. Emily had a fierce belief in the sanctity of nature and the world as evidenced by her poetry and personal letters. Dickinson refused to publicize her faith; she was not a church-goer, and her poems about spirituality (along with her other works) weren't published until after she had died. She had a firm stance on her "self"; in order to remain faithful to her convictions; she felt that "the world holds a predominant place in my affections. I do not feel I could give up all for Christ" (Emily Dickinson Museum). In her poem "Some keep the Sabbath going to Church—", she states that by staying at home, she sees God in nature. She suggests that by reveling in the simplicity of being at home for a spiritual celebration, she will go to Heaven instead of having to desperately strive "to get there" as the regular attendees at church seem to do (Poetry Foundation). In Dickinson's poem, "'Faith' is a fine invention", she scoffs at the nature of people who think that by faith alone will they be saved. She cites that microscopes are prudent, suggesting that science has a part in life that is equal to that of faith (Poem Hunter). Emily furthers her statement that faith is highly personal in her poem, "The Soul selects her own Society—". She "shuts the Door— to her divine Majority" or that she chooses to take another spiritual path other than that of her surrounding loved ones. She remains "Unmoved" even as images of power pass by her window. She refuses to join into the mainstream belief, which would be irreconcilable with her own (Poets). The poetess openly rejects the Calvinist beliefs of predestination by her own example! Dickinson makes it obvious that she has free will, and is not "spiritually helpless" (Religious Tolerance). While maintaining a relationship with God, as evidenced by her personal life and poetry, she took another route to that of Calvinism. She formed her own beliefs, about the beauty of nature, truth, and simplicity of life at home.
So, why did Emily Dickinson never join a church? I would say that it was her adherent grip on herself, her beliefs, and her own way of thinking that couldn't possibly allow her to join a church. She couldn't bring herself to reconcile her opinions with that of the Calvinist movement. Emily Dickinson was her own woman, despite her reclusive behaviour.
Below is a link to a song that exemplifies being in your natural state, being yourself always, and always sticking to your guns, the way Emily Dickinson did in her life. Like Dickinson, the singer, Matisyahu, is a firm believer in the fact that faith is personal. He often uses images of nature in his music.

Arsenal Fans React to Cryptic Tweet From Aaron Ramsey's Representatives as Contract Saga Continues
The contract saga involving Aaron Ramsey seems to be dragging on forever and Arsenal fans are unsurprisingly trying to hunt down any snippet of news they can surrounding the matter.
The 27-year-old's contract is set to expire at the end of the 2018/19 season and there has been no official word over whether he is going to sign an extension or not. The Welshman has become indispensable in recent years for the Gunners and losing him on a free would prove nothing short of disastrous.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery has already suggested that he is desperate for Ramsey to remain in north London for the foreseeable future, indicating that the Welshman is the only one stopping a new contract from being signed immediately.

However, a cryptic tweet from Ramsey's agency Avid Sports & Entertainment Group has sent some Arsenal fans into meltdown, with many declaring that it can only mean one thing - Ramsey's new contract is just around the corner.
This is in spite of the fact that the Tweet doesn't actually reveal anything and simply reads 'Hoping for some big news today!'. None the less, Arsenal fans everywhere immediately lost their minds.
However, not all fans were full of eager optimism and some treated the tweet with an air of pessimism. In some cases, some passive aggressive threats were thrown at the agency after they had previously toyed with Arsenal fans on too many occasions before.
There are a few days left in the European transfer window and although a permanent move away from Arsenal seems highly unlikely, until Ramsey puts pen to paper it is entirely possible.
Arsenal fans will be praying that this whole contract saga ends up having a positive outcome for all parties involved.


Now I'm not a massive fan of American football but one event I have gotten into over the past couple of years has been the Superbowl. I have to admit that my main reason for watching it has been the fact that one of the lads from the local puts on a big spread (legendary meatballs) and we all watch it in his house. This year's game is between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. Going into the game the Patriots are strong favourites but the Giants have a great defence so it should make for an interesting one. The coverage kicks off at 11.20pm so I've taken work off tomorrow.
Post game update: The Giants won thanks to a last minute touchdown. The lads I was watching it with weren't too happy as a majority of them had placed money on the Patriots. Food report: beautiful meatballs and wings, coupled with rice and a couple of cool beers. A1 Sharon.
