Successful program completion: ENOVAL achieves its objectives
Munich, February 28, 2019 – Mission accomplished: For almost five years, 35 partners conducted extensive research work under the EU's ENOVAL (ENgine mOdule VALidators) technology programme. The result of the concerted efforts is now available: With the newly developed technologies for turbofan engines, it will be possible to significantly cut emissions of carbon dioxide and of noise. "We've fully achieved the objectives we had in mind when we started," says MTU Aero Engines' Dr Edgar Merkl, who coordinated the technology program, "and clearly demonstrated how much additional potential still exists in turbofans." The new technology is slated to fly starting in 2025.
ENOVAL focused on the development of new technologies for low-pressure components for medium-sized, large and very large turbofans incorporating geared turbofan technology. The research looked into higher overall pressure ratios of between 50:1 and 70:1, as well as higher bypass ratios of between 12:1 and 20:1 combined with increased overall pressure ratios of up to 70:1. Says Merkl: "The bypass ratio achieved in the ENOVAL programme was in the range of 14:1 to 16:1." This results in improved propulsion efficiency, thus reducing fuel burn and pollutant emissions. "And, on top of that, this will bring the noise emitted by emerging engines down further, even below the noise level of the geared turbofan, which is already very quiet as it is now." Just look at some of the figures: Noise can be cut by up to 1.3 dB and CO2 emissions by up to five percent. For a typical medium-range aircraft, such as an Airbus A320, this would translate into savings of 1,200 tons of CO2 a year, the equivalent of the carbon dioxide emissions produced annually by electricity use in 325 average households.
The new engine component technologies for the fan, nacelle, gearbox, low-pressure compressor, low-pressure turbine and low-pressure shaft and for casings were developed by the ENOVAL partners – aviation companies, research institutes and universities from ten European countries. 18 rigs were set up and tested successfully, a number of patent applications filed, and the results reported in around 50 publications and compiled in ten learning modules, which have been made available on the ENOVAL website at www.enoval.eu. The work was conducted on the basis of an integral approach, where the research did not just look at the individual components, but likewise took the interactions and mutual effects into account.
ENOVAL rounds off the EU's roadmap of level 2 aero engine programs (component validation) under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), building on its two level 2 predecessor programs, LEMCOTEC and E-BREAK. "If you take a year-2000 engine as the baseline, ENOVAL technologies, combined with those resulting from the predecessor projects, allow us to cut noise by as much as nine decibels and, depending on the application, reduce CO2 emission by 20 to almost 40 percent," explains ENOVAL Chief Engineer Dr. Jörg Sieber, who also works at MTU. According to Sieber, these values already meet ACARE's targets for the year 2020 in terms of CO2 emissions.
Whereas the aim of LEMCOTEC and E-BREAK was, first, to develop technologies that increase the overall pressure ratio, and hence thermal efficiency, and, second, to adapt materials and subsystems so that they are capable of withstanding the pressures and temperatures that will increase in future, ENOVAL focused on the development of the low-pressure system for ultra-high bypass ratio aero engines. Bypass ratios larger than 12:1 being referred to as ultra-high bypass ratios (UHBRs).
The "tremendous interdisciplinary cooperation" was spurred by the high significance of the technologies, says Merkl: "All of the partners were aware of the vital importance of the new technologies for the future. Today already, they are part of the concepts developed by all engine manufacturers," Merkl continues. The results presented again underlined the advantages of geared turbofan technology. "Given the benefits of a geared configuration in terms of overall efficiency, all competitors now tend towards this type of construction," according to Merkl.

Should I buy from SIMI?
I am thinking of purchasing a '06 or '07 Toyota Corolla Hatchback with all the extras. I have spotted one at an independent dealer that suits my requirements however the dealer is not a member of the SIMI.
Would i be better of purchashing from an SIMI dealer even if this automobile at the independent dealer checks out ok.? They have told me that the mileage/km will be warranted & that there able to offer the same level of service as any SIMI member. Should i trust this dealer or just avoid altogether ?
SIMI are the Society of the Irish Motor Industry and as such, buying from one of its members is the closest you can get to total security when buying a used automobile. Of course there are no guarantees when buying a used automobile but at least here you are getting a automobile that has gone through a thorough automobile history check, and the dealers also have signed up to SIMIs code of conduct so they are answerable to a higher power.
A spokesperson for SIMI outlined some of the benefits of buying from a SIMI dealer. "SIMI have high membership standards. To become a member of SIMI the garage must pass an audit and inspection. The dealer must submit among other documentation a tax clearance certificate, proof of planning permission, and be nominated by 3 existing members. Should a dispute arise we have a standards department that will investigate the consumers complaint. The first step is mediation between the customer and the garage. If that does not resolve the issue we have an independent tribunal that is headed up by a former rights commissioner and also a consumer group. The tribunal decision is binding on the SIMI garage."
Automobiles from SIMI dealers tend to be better, but this is not to say that there are not good independent dealers who choose not to become members of the SIMI and pay their fees. There are good independent automobile history check websites around such as and and for a fee there are several layers of check you can do on these automobiles. So, no, we wouldn't say to avoid non-SIMI dealers, but SIMI dealers do come with some security as-standard.
If you want to come back to us with an idea of your budget and needs, feel free and we will guide you a litte bit more.

James Haskell to retire from rugby after stunning career
Posted on 7th May 2019 by Adam Ellis in British and Irish Lions Tour, International Rugby, Latest News, World Rugby Rugby World Cup
James Haskell has announced his decision to retire from all rugby at the end of the season.
Over the span of his 17-year career the flanker achieved club legend status with Wasps, where he made over 200 appearances, while also undertaking overseas excursions with Stade Francais, Ricoh Black Rams and the Highlanders.
77 caps for England saw Haskell represent his country at two Rugby World Cups and in three title-winning Six Nations campaigns.
Hindered by injury for much of this season at Northampton Saints, the British & Irish Lion thanked the coaches, physios and backroom staff who he has worked with during his career.
"I have loved every minute of my career in rugby and feel very privileged to have played with and against some exceptional players," said Haskell.
"Retiring is obviously a really difficult decision for me to make – professional rugby has been the centre of my life for such a long time now and while it's weird to imagine living without it, I look to the future with huge excitement."
Haskell said: "There are so many people to thank, but in particular I would like to express my appreciation for all the coaches, trainers and physios who I have worked with throughout my career – from Maidenhead minis all the way up to England and the British & Irish Lions, I owe them all a huge debt of gratitude.
"My thanks go out to the supporters here at Northampton Saints too who have welcomed me with open arms.
"I wish I'd been able to offer more on the field this season. This next chapter was supposed to go a very different way, however that is the nature of professional sport.
"I've never spent so much time injured in my entire career, but I'm doing everything I can to help the squad here until my contract ends."
England head coach Eddie Jones credited the 34-year-old for being a great character within the team dressing room.
"When I look back at my time coaching James, it will always bring a smile to my face," he said.
"It was a privilege to coach him, but also great fun. He's what I'd describe as a 'glue' player – someone who always tries to bring a squad together. His tour to Australia in 2016 sticks in my mind.
He was absolutely outstanding on that tour, amazingly physical, uncompromising and just totally dominant." Haskell was named as the 'man of the series' after England's 3-0 series victory.
"Not only a superb player, but also one of the game's great characters; rugby will be poorer without the 'old fella'," concluded Jones.
Following that star display in Australia in the summer of 2016, Haskell toured New Zealand with the British & Irish Lions a year later, starting four games and coming up against then Chris Boyd-coached Hurricanes.
Commenting on Haskell's decision, Saints director of rugby Boyd said: "James has had a tough time with injuries this season and not run out for Saints as often as he'd like, but despite that he's had a huge impact here and is an invaluable member of the squad.
"He has been a wonderful servant to the English game and I've no doubt he'll be just as successful in his retirement."

Letter from the Capitol has a piece describing how Obamacare is just the first step in transitioning America's citizens into paying a Value Added Tax (VAT) on goods on top of income tax in order to support our new Democratic Socialist future. The last section on describing Obama's impact on history is a lot nicer than I would have put it.
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels says we must live "like good Europeans" as ObamaCare stifles choice & raises costs. Which may explain why Fidel Castro called ObamaCare "a true miracle" and compared it to Cuba's CastroCare….
Obama set out to be a consequential president, on the order of Ronald Reagan. With the VAT, Obama's triumph will be complete. He will have succeeded in reversing Reaganism. Liberals have long complained that Reagan's strategy was to starve the (governmental) beast in order to shrink it: First, cut taxes — then ultimately you have to reduce government spending.
Obama's strategy is exactly the opposite: Expand the beast and then feed it. Spend first — which then forces taxation. Now that, with the institution of universal health care, we are becoming the full entitlement state, the beast will have to be fed.
President Barack Obama's new health-care legislation aims to raise $210 billion over 10 years to pay for the extensive new entitlements. How? By slapping a 3.8% "Medicare tax" on interest and rental income, dividends and capital gains of couples earning more than $250,000, or singles with more than $200,000.
The president also hopes to raise $364 billion over 10 years from the same taxpayers by raising the top two tax rates to 36%-39.6% from 33%-35%, plus another $105 billion by raising the tax on dividends and capital gains to 20% from 15%, and another $500 billion by capping and phasing out exemptions and deductions.
Add it up and the government is counting on squeezing an extra $1.2 trillion over 10 years from a tiny sliver of taxpayers who already pay more than half of all individual taxes.
It won't work. It never works.
The maximum tax rate fell to 28% in 1988-90 from 50% in 1986, yet individual income tax receipts rose to 8.3% of GDP in 1989 from 7.9% in 1986. The top tax rate rose to 31% in 1991 and revenue fell to 7.6% of GDP in 1992. The top tax rate was increased to 39.6% in 1993, along with numerous major revenue enhancers such as raising the taxable portion of Social Security to 85% of benefits from 50% for seniors who saved or kept working. Yet individual tax revenues were only 7.8% of GDP in 1993, 8.1% in 1994, and did not get back to the 1989 level until 1995.
Put simply, taxpayers alter their investment, tax & work strategies to minimize the impact of punitive levies.
Herb London warns of ObamaCare's threat to liberty. A WSJ 3/30 editorial explains what I missed last week; ObamaCare does not explicitly call for hiring 16,500 IRS agents. The figure is a GOP extrapolation from the IRS budget, to derive an estimate of what will be needed to enforce compliance on the new levies; if the IRS is left at present levels of resources revenues will be lost.
A WSJ editorial last week offered emerging examples of diminished health care choice, already underway due to ObamaCare. At NRO Rich Lowry warns that deteriorating finances will force choosing between guns and butter, and that Obama clearly will choose to preserve the latter. Nobel economist Gary Becker's WSJ interview presents an optimist, but one who fears, as in the old joke about optimism & pessimism, that his optimism may be unjustified.
A WSJ editorial notes major companies already writing down their asset values due to anticipated ObamaCare impact–$14B during 2010, according to one consultant. Naturally, a senior Obama administration hack calls these "irresponsible" while California thug-Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Beverly Hillbillies) plans an April 21 kangaroo-court show trial of major CEOs. NRO's Rich Lowry adds detail on Waxman's efforts to muzzle companies hit by ObamaCare.
So the wave of corporate writedowns—led by AT&T's $1 billion—isn't caused by ObamaCare after all. The White House claims CEOs are reducing the value of their companies and returns for shareholders merely out of political pique.
In other words, CEOs who must abide by U.S. accounting laws under pain of SEC sanction, and who warned about such writedowns for months, are merely trying to ruin President Obama's moment of glory. Sure.
Presumably the White House is familiar with the Financial Standard Accounting Board's 1990 statement No. 106, which requires businesses to immediately restate their earnings in light of their expected future retiree health liabilities. AT&T, Deere & Co., AK Steel, Prudential and Caterpillar, among others, are simply reporting the corporate costs of the Democratic decision to raise taxes on retiree drug benefits to finance ObamaCare.
In 2003, Washington blessed a grateful citizenry with the Medicare prescription drug benefit, it being generally agreed by all the experts that it was unfair to force seniors to choose between their monthly trip to Rite-Aid and Tony Danza in dinner theater. However, in order to discourage American businesses from immediately dumping all their drug plans for retirees, Congress gave them a modest tax break equivalent to 28 percent of the cost of the plan.
Fast forward to the dawn of the ObamaCare utopia. In one of a bazillion little clauses in a 2,000-page bill your legislators didn't bother reading (because, as Congressman John Conyers explained, he wouldn't understand it even if he did), Congress voted to subject the 28 percent tax benefit to the regular good ol' American-as-apple-pie corporate tax rate of 35 percent. . . . I refer you to the decision last year by the doughnut chain Tim Hortons, a Delaware corporation, to reorganize itself as a Canadian corporation "in order to take advantage of Canadian tax rates." Hold that thought: "In order to take advantage of Canadian tax rates"—a phrase hitherto unknown to American English outside the most fantastical futuristic science fiction.
Another little-noticed provision in ObamaCare: Money for long-term care will be automatically deducted from worker paychecks unless employees opt out; it is an estimated $146/month payment to give $75 daily care; some cost estimates peg the deduction at $240/month. Cost at the lower figure is estimated at $100B.
The liberal line is that President Obama has secured his place in history by signing into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. And secured it he has. Henceforth Obama will be remembered as the man who accelerated America's mad dash toward bankruptcy. He will be remembered as the leader who promoted a culture of dependency. He will be remembered as the figure who sacrificed a dream of national unity upon the altar of big government liberalism. It's true: Obama is now a president of consequence. And almost all of those consequences are bad.
The fiscal picture was bleak before Obama made it worse. Government debt is 60 percent of the gross domestic product and climbing. The deficit is projected to remain above 4 percent of GDP for the next decade. The week before the president signed his health care reform into law, Moody's warned that America's AAA bond rating may be downgraded. The day before the signing ceremony, the nation learned that Warren Buffett is a safer investment than U.S. treasuries. One needn't look across the Atlantic, where a penniless Greece is a supplicant to the IMF, to see our future. Look to California, where the economy is crippled by high taxes, high spending, and burdensome debt….
Gone is the charismatic young man who told the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston that there was no Blue America and no Red America, only the United States of America. All that remains is a partisan liberal Democrat whose health care policy bulldozed public opinion, enraged the electorate, poisoned the Congress, and set into motion a sequence of events the outcome of which cannot be foreseen.
This tarnished White House complains incessantly about the crises it inherited from its predecessor. Crises? You ain't seen nothing yet.
The latest public health care horror show from the UK–presaging America's ObamaCare future: nurses declining to bring a dying patient a glass of water.
Bottom Line. Coupled with America's rapidly deteriorating financial position, ObamaCare is a massive, potentially fatal economic train wreck in the making.
The Alliance Defense Fund brings us news that they secured an agreement with Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia to keep a disabled 40-year-old woman on dialysis after the hospital's so-called "death board" "ethics board" determined to stop dialysis treatments over the objections of the family. This is just a glimpse of what is to come under Obamacare.
MORGANTOWN, WV — An Alliance Defense Fund allied attorney secured an agreed-upon court order Friday that extends care for a 40-year-old woman on dialysis at Ruby Memorial Hospital after the hospital originally said it would end treatment on March 27 against the wishes of the woman's family.The hospital agreed to continue care while the family of Rebecca Bennett locates another medical facility willing to continue treatment. The family agreed that if the transfer does not occur by 5 p.m. on April 9, they will no longer oblige the hospital to continue dialysis treatment for the seriously disabled woman, but the hospital will still continue her other basic care. So far, another facility has not been found.
"A hospital should not be allowed to cease care for a family's loved one when state law gives the family the right to make medical decisions in such circumstances. Becky's family simply wants to honor their mother's wishes," said Jeremiah Dys, general counsel of the Family Policy Council of West Virginia and one of more than 1,600 attorneys in the ADF alliance.
Bennett went into a coma due to complications from diabetes. The hospital's board of ethics decided that it would stop dialysis on March 27, despite the expressed objections of Sierra Kisner, a member of the family acting as her legal surrogate. ADF attorneys argued that the hospital's decision violated West Virginia law, which gives the surrogate decision-making power and which requires the hospital to continue care or cooperate in obtaining a transfer. It does not allow the hospital to unilaterally determine that care will cease.
The complaint and motion for temporary restraining order in Kisner v. West Virginia University Hospitals was filed with the Circuit Court of Monongalia County Friday and led to the agreed order issued the same day.
LetterFromTheCapitol brings us a post explaining that the current threat by Democrats to use reconciliation to bypass a Republican filibuster would violate the Senate's "Byrd Rule". Reconciliation was designed to only be used for bills dealing with the budget and nothing else.
As for Democrats threatening to use the "nuclear option"–bypassing the 60-vote cloture number that cuts off filibusters, using special rules designed for budget reconciliation votes, which require only 51 votes to pass and cannot be filibustered–Human Events collected quotes from top Democrats, including then-Senators Obama & Biden, warning against ending hallowed Senate tradition. Enjoy the quotes & watch the video (4:48) at the end. There is much more to the flim-flam involved here….
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) published "The Budget Reconciliation Process: The Senate's 'Byrd Rule'" in March 2008; the CRS paper makes clear that the 2001 & 2003 Bush tax bills were exempt from the Byrd Rule because they included sunset provisions that kept the bills within budgetary bounds–they expired within the budget reconciliation time window. Senator Byrd sent a Feb. 23, 2010 "Dear Colleague" letter urging that supporters not use his Byrd Rule to bypass cloture. In his Feb. 12, 2009 testimony before the Senate Budget Committee Sen .Byrd lambasted both parties for slipping non-germane amendments into reconciliation bills. Sen. Byrd's single-page April 2, 2009 "Dear Colleague" letter text contains the operative language (which I could not copy & paste). Sen. Byrd, author of a history of the Senate, with more than a half century of service that makes him the longest serving senator, is legendary as an authority on the Senate Rules.
The first use of this special procedure was in the fall of 1980, as the Democratic majority in Congress moved to reduce entitlement programs in response to candidate Ronald Reagan's focus on the growing deficit. Throughout the 1980s and '90s, reconciliation was used to reduce deficit projections and to enact budget enforcement mechanisms. In early 2001, with projected surpluses well into the future, it was used to return a portion of that surplus to the public by changing tax rates.
Senators of both parties have assiduously avoided using budget reconciliation as a mechanism to pass expansive social legislation that lacks bipartisan support. In 1993, Democratic leaders—including the dean of Senate procedure and an author of the original Budget Act, Robert C. Byrd— appropriately prevailed on the Clinton administration not to use reconciliation to adopt its health-care agenda. It was used to pass welfare reform in 1996, an entitlement program, but the changes had substantial bipartisan support.
In 2003, while I was serving as majority leader, Republicans used the reconciliation process to enact tax cuts. I was approached by members of my own caucus to use reconciliation to extend prescription drug coverage to millions of Medicare recipients. I resisted. The Congress considered the legislation under regular order, and the Medicare Modernization Act passed through the normal legislative procedure in 2003.
Byrd, for his part, rejects Frist's analysis, because he believes that the Bush 43 tax bills added to the deficit, which if true would violate the Byrd Rule. Eyeballing a chart showing the federal budget deficits from 1940- 2009 shows tax revenues slightly higher in 2009 than in 2001, with a dip in the middle; the deficit as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product narrowed to about 1.5 percent of GDP in 2007, before the financial meltdown began and sent the deficit soaring into the stratosphere.
More on the Senate filibuster's origin & use: Here is Wiki's filibuster entry–the word comes from European antecedents meaning "freebooter," giving rise to the imagery of pirating or hijacking a bill.
The summit's predictable failure will be a pretext for trying to ram health legislation through the Senate by misusing "reconciliation," which prevents filibusters. If the Senate parliamentarian rules, as he should, that most of the legislation is ineligible for enactment under reconciliation, the vice president, as Senate president, can overrule the parliamentarian. This has not happened since 1975, but liberals say desperate times require desperate measures.
Today's desperation? Democracy's majoritarian ethic is, liberals say, being violated by the filibuster that prevents their enacting health legislation opposed by an American majority.
Liberals also say the filibuster exacerbates the Senate's flaw as "inherently unrepresentative." That is, the Founders — who liberals evidently believe were dolts or knaves — designed it to represent states rather than, as the House does, population.
Since there have been 50 states, Republicans have never had 60 senators. There were 60 or more Democratic senators after seven elections — 1960 (64), 1962 (66), 1964 (68), 1966 (64), 1974 (61), 1976 (62) and 2008 (60, following Arlen Specter's discovery that he is a Democrat and the protracted Minnesota recount). But both parties have been situational ethicists regarding filibusters.
Filibusters are devices for registering intensity rather than mere numbers — government by adding machine. Besides, has a filibuster ever prevented eventual enactment of anything significant that an American majority has desired, strongly and protractedly?
Chris Dodd 5/18/2005: "I've never passed a single bill worth talking about that didn't have a lead co sponsor that was a Republican. And I don't know of a single piece of legislation that's ever been adopted here that didn't have a Republican and Democrat in the lead. That's because we need to sit down and work with each other. The rules of this institution have required that. That's why we exist. Why have a bicameral legislative body? Why have two chambers? What were the framers thinking about 218 years ago? They understood Mr. President that there is a tyranny of the majority.
WSJ columnist Kimberley Strassel explains why passage of ObamaCare is far from a slam dunk, even if the Senate manages to use the 51-vote trick to pass its version, due to a very dicey head count in the House. Bil Kristol's mini-blog captures House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's disdain for incrementalism. Nonetheless, Peggy Noonan casts her gimlet eye on the 7-hour summit and finds Democrats prepared to try to ram their bill through and risk voter wrath in November.
Bottom Line. The filibuster is a valuable tool of Senate rules. The House runs on majority diktat; the Senate on consent of 100. While both parties have been guilty of playing footsie with filibusters, using parliamentary sleight-of-hand to ram through the restructuring of one-sixth of the American economy is without comparable precedent. Voters do not track procedural niceties, but if ObamaCare is rammed through Democrats will answer come November.
WorldNetDaily reports that the House and Senate bills that were passed both contain the "marriage penalty", increasing the penalty (up to $10,000 annually) for married couples who don't comply with the nationalized health care system but significantly reduce the penalty for non-married couples.
Bills pending in Congress that would nationalize health care by setting up mandatory insurance purchases and fines for not complying could penalize married couples $10,000 annually and are a direct attack on marriage, families and the church because of their discriminatory provisions, according to a congressional candidate.
"This is as awful, I will say evil … this is as evil as it gets," Allen Quist, who is running to unseat Democrat Tim Walz in Minnesota's 1st congressional district, told WND.
Quist said the fine print of provisions still alive in both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives deliberately create enormous pressure for couples to live together without marriage – or even get divorced – by charging married couples thousands of dollars more in premiums and fees.
"This is the most insidious attack on our country we have ever seen," Quist said earlier this week in an interview with David Barton of WallBuildersLive.com.
"In fact you have government policies tearing apart marriage," he said. "Marriage is the foundation of society. It's the foundation of our government and to a large degree the basic unit in the church. [The policy] undermines the church's teaching and undermines church structure.
"It weakens the family. It weakens the church, and it weakens our country," he said.
The Democrats' health care legislation essentially would restore the old "marriage penalty," Quist said. Under the U.S. Tax Code for many years, people who were married and had two incomes paid income tax on the second income that started at the highest rate for taxes on the first income.
A husband's first $5,000 in income was taxed at the same – or next higher rate – as the wife's highest $5,000 in income in a year.
However, if the two people were living together without marriage, the incomes were separate, and the second income would be taxed starting at the lowest rate of the tax table.
Members of Congress worked for years to repeal the measure and take away the financial penalty for being married.
Quist said the new health-care provisions restore the penalty and double it. He said all he needed to figure that out was his knowledge of how government works – he's been a state representative for multiple terms – and a calculator. Under the two proposals pending, which are similar, two unmarried people with a combined income of about $59,000 would pay about $1,320 a year in medical insurance.
For a married couple with the same approximate income, the tab would be about $12,000.
It would hit young married couples hard and even would bite back at empty-nesters whose children have moved away from home, he said.
She cited tables revealing the House bill cost for an unmarried couple with $50,000 in combined income would be $3,076 a year. Married, they would pay $5,160.
Columnist Craige McMillan went further, noting that the head of a family making $44,000 a year would see periodic take-home pay of $2,854 reduced to $1,604 because of mandatory health insurance costs.
He reported, however, a single woman with the same income would have her income drop only from $2,687 to $2,603 because she could opt to pay a penalty instead of buying insurance.
But Quist went further, charging that it is a deliberate attack on Christians.
"It's persecution of the church, because of the church's involvement with marriage," he said.
"Millions of families [will have the choice] of staying married and not making their house, their mortgage payments or getting divorced and making their payments," he said.
"This thing is designed to destroy marriage in the middle class – just as we've destroyed it on the poverty level," he said, citing aid programs that lend more benefits to a single mother with children than the same family with a father present.
"At nearly all age and income levels, the bill profoundly discriminates against married couples, providing far less support to a husband and wife than to a cohabiting couple with the same income," the analysis said.
"For example, a young couple without children, age 20, each making $20,000, would receive $4,317 more in health benefits each year if they cohabit rather than marry. Slipping on the wedding ring would cut the couple's annual disposable income by more than 10 percent. Rather than pay this new wedding tax, the couple is likely to postpone marriage or forego it entirely," the analysis said.

On your website we see that you have some material on Stinas and Castoriadis. Under "Articles by or about Stinas" you mention the Trotskyists of Revolutionary History but not the ICC. In fact, in 1993 in International Review 72 we published some extracts from Stinas' Memoires together with an introduction that showed the evolution of Stinas and the ICU that lead to the final break with Trotskyism in 1947.
In the material on Castoriadis you refer to "a very favourable obituary". A more critical notice appeared in World Revolution 213 (April 1998) under the title "Bourgeoisie pays homage to one of its servants".
Under the heading "Revolutionary Opposition to World War Two" you mention the books on The Italian Communist Left 1926-46 and The Dutch and German Communist Left. These were originally published in French by the ICC when the author was one of our militants. They were conceived, prepared, discussed and published as the collective work of the ICC with the complete agreement of the author. He has not been in the ICC since 1990 and any subsequent editions and 'correction' of the books have been linked to his political evolution.

Wigwam Village #6 in Holbrook, Arizona is an iconic Route 66 Motel that really holds true to it's Historic Past. This Wigwam Village is notably the most well-kept of all three remaining Wigwam Villages, and it even has a museum inside the "Lobby" that takes visitors through the history of the Wigwam Motel and of the surrounding area.
A must-see destination along any Route 66 road trip, this Wigwam village is also a perfect place to stay when visiting Petrified Forest National Park.
While the majority of visitors in Holbrook come for the National Park, the small community of Holbrook is a charming town that is worth exploring if you have the time. There is a high-quality grocery store and plenty of places to grab a bite to eat. If you're curious to learn more, there are even a few museums to explore.
If you're looking for some familiar places to eat, Holbrook has you covered. Grab something to eat at Denny's, McDonald's, Dariy Queen, Little Caesars, Pizza Hut, Carl's Jr. or A&W. But it seems Holbrook's real specialty is in their local eateries: Joe & Aggie's Cafe, Romo's Restaurant, Aliberto's Mexican Food, Tom & Suzie's Diner, Camaleon Cafe, Mesa Italiana Restaurant, and many other bars, cafes, and diners.
Most likely, your visit here is going to include touring the Petrified Forest National Park, and you could easily spend all your time at the park, but if you're looking to get to know Holbrook better, you can visit any one of their local restaurants, or check out the Navajo County Historical Society.
We spent a day hiking and exploring the Petrified Forest National Park. Much of our exploring was done in the car, because the park is so large. We picked up sandwiches, snacks, and ice for our cooler at the Safeway grocery store right across the street from the Wigwam Motel before leaving for the park. We took our packed lunch to the Painted Desert Picnic Pavilion for a beautiful view while we ate.

Ok, so what has taken place since last I talked on the subject?
I also have an interview I must transcribe from UKGE, seems like an era ago at this point. I found that a lot of people with whom I discussed the matter were actually very interested in the idea of a GM for hire, not just prospective future customers, but RPG companies curious to see what suggestions they could offer on how to further the idea and how I might diversify my genre portfolio. Expect more sci-fi from me in the future, I'm starting to toy with some ideas using Era: The Consortium rules and lore, at least one game of Honey Heist.
Tim worked closely with me to produce a logo for the company, coming up with a core concept that I liked the sound of, and working with me to develop something to which I could refer. The coat-of-arms like template has been toned down from the initial vision which included swords and dice bags, both to keep it simple as a good logo should be, and to make Tim's life easier as my own graphic design skills are rather lacklustre.
Still waiting on a higher-resolution version, and I'm definitely keeping both on hand. There's no reason why – if everything goes well – I couldn't commission variations of the logo for various genres, and dare I say animations? I do. I do dare say it. Either way, expect new business cards.
Ok, well, first of all, they haven't been printed yet. Second, that's a weird thing to want, but… fine, I guess? And three, CoxCon! CoxCon is a convention for YouTubers and Livestreamers running from the 21st to the 22nd of July at the International Centre in Telford, that is itself Livestreamed on Twitch. I anticipate the standard array of traders, stage shows, meet and greet opportunities and the like, but I also expect to be surprised, paradoxical as that may be. If you're going to be in Telford on the 22nd I will be there too, either hastily cramming in games and some casual advertising, or walking around enjoying myself and chatting to folks. I might see you there in some capacity or other.
This was originally going to be advertising, but two of the four games I will be running are all but full.
On the 4th and the 18th of August I will be running pay-per-head games, from 9:30 – 12:30 for the under 16s, and from 13:00 to 16:00 for ages 16+, hosted by and in cooperation with the Oswestry Library. If all goes well it might become a regular event, and I'll be taking the idea to libraries around the county. If you would like to see me in your local library, and if you're interested in getting a game in, ask them to get in touch via my Facebook page.
Side note: In addition to the thanks I already owe the Library, thanks too must go to 2-Minute Table Top, who is content for commercial use of his maps and art packs so long as he gets proper accreditation. This is it, thanks, love your work.
Now, the under 16s games are not attracting the interest I would have hoped for, although I admit there was a serious delay on my end getting posters prepped and ready to go into schools in the local area. I'm hoping that my recent tour of town might raise some business on the day, but still, I remain optimistic about the future of the endeavour as a whole.
And by "whole" I also mean this entire endeavour. The push to turn my hobby into a job is taxing, and fraught with the possibility of hating the driving force of my life. As it stands, I'm remaining hugely positive. But all of this merry banter is not finishing the write-up for A Parade For Thieves.

The Metal Man by Jack B. Yeats (1871-1957)
The Metal Man
By Jack B. Yeats (1871-1957)
1890-1900 / Watercolour
Dimensions: 25.5 × 16.5cm
Collection: Niland Collection
Provenance: Purchased by Dawson Gallery, Dublin in 1966
The Metal Man stands on a plinth at the mouth of the harbour at Rosses Point, Co. Sligo. It was erected in Napoleonic times as is evident from its distinctive costume. Its purpose was to guide ships into the safe channel. The extended arm of the Metal Man shows the way. This very early watercolour gives a close-up view of the monument as though sketched from the sea immediately beneath. The Metal Man recurs in several subsequent paintings and drawings by Yeats, most notably as an illustration in his book, Life in the West of Ireland, (1912). The much-loved figure symbolised both childhood memories of Sligo and the adventure of the sea-faring life.
Written by Roisin Kennedy
Jack B. Yeats (1871-1957)
Born 1871, London, United Kingdom.
Died 1957, Dublin, Ireland.
Jack B. Yeats was the youngest son of the portrait painter John Butler Yeats and the brother of the writer William Butler Yeats. Though he was born in London, Jack spent most of his childhood in Sligo in the care of his maternal grandparents. It was a place that influenced him deeply and he later said that every painting he produced "had a thought of Sligo in it".
Jack studied in London at the South Kensington School of Art and later at the Westminster School of Art, though he was largely self-taught and had his own distinct style from the beginning. While still at school he was working as an illustrator and contributing to various publications such as Paddock Life, the Daily Graphic and the Vegetarian.
His early work, mostly in watercolour, focuses on the Sligo of his boyhood. These works display his emerging interest in the people and places of every day life- the market day, the sailor, and the races. In 1894 he married his fellow art student Mary Cottenham White, and they settled in England. He held his first solo show in London in 1897 and shortly afterwards he began to focus solely on Irish subject matter. In 1910 he returned to live in Ireland. The same year he began to contribute illustrations to the satirical publication Punch under the pseudonym W. Bird, and over the next 30 years he supplied the magazine with over five hundred drawings.
In 1905 Yeats toured Connemara with the writer John M Synge who had been commissioned to write a series of articles for the Manchester Guardian on life in the west of Ireland. This trip, coupled with his upbringing in Sligo, made an indelible impression on the artist. His wide-ranging interest in all of humanity led him to depict subjects ranging from street scenes, to boxing matches, the races, and funerals.
In 1910 he returned to Ireland and settled first in Bray and later in Dublin. He became an associate member of the RHA in 1915 and a full member the following year. He was a founder member of the Society of Dublin Painters in 1920, and in 1922 he participated in the Exposition d'Art Irlandais in Paris. He won the silver and the bronze medals at the VIIIe Olympiade in Paris in 1924 for the painting The Liffey Swim.
Yeats' early paintings were in watercolour and he was over thirty by the time he began to work regularly in oils. For years his style remained essentially conservative, but in the mid-1920s a profound change began to take place. Yeats's handling grew much freer, his forms were defined by brushstrokes rather than by line, his colours grew richer and more luminous and his earlier realism gradually gave way to a moody, intimate and highly personal romanticism. These tendencies grew even more marked over the next two decades, until in his final years when his subject-matter is sometimes buried and almost obliterated by rich impasto, bravura brushwork and flame-like areas of colour.
He exhibited widely in Dublin and London, and in 1932 held solo shows at the Ferragail Galleries and the Barbizon Museum of Irish Art, New York. He first showed with Victor Waddington Galleries, Dublin in 1943, and continued to exhibit there until his death. A major retrospective of his work opened at the Tate Gallery, London in 1948. Jack B Yeats died in Dublin on March 28 1957.

Zar Amrolia: special focus
Structural shifts upend troubled FX franchises
The foreign-exchange industry has been caught in a perfect storm of falling volatility, difficult trading conditions and regulatory challenges. Many of the senior figures in FX have stepped aside, leaving a new generation to come to terms with a radically different market.
All change in the 2016 Euromoney FX rankings
Citi retains top ranking while Deutsche plummets; JPMorgan and UBS rise; top five market share at all-time low; non-bank FX providers make an impact on rankings
Small fish, big prize: The market makers out to eat the banks' lunch
New specialist liquidity providers are nibbling away at the share of the big universal banks in more and more parts of the FICC markets. In swaps, government bonds, foreign exchange, credit, and in securities financing and repo, new entrants are on the march, stepping up to fill the gaps left by the retreating banks. Tech savvy, led by quants and data engineers rather than the expensive traders sitting on the scrap heap of most banks' inferior tech, the new entrants now just need people with the skills to win over large numbers of customers.
Investment banks pile into big data analytics
At Deutsche Bank, a number of senior changes last year point to how seriously the bank is now approaching this field too. The new role of Zar Amrolia, Deutsche's former co-head of fixed income and currencies, leading the development of digital technology within its corporate banking and securities (CB&S) business forms part of this.
Amrolia to lead Deutsche Bank digital drive
Zar Amrolia, Deutsche Bank's co-head of fixed income and currencies, will take on a new role leading the firm's development of digital technology within its corporate banking and securities business.
Deutsche Bank nears launch of new fixed-income trading digital drive
Zar Amrolia, who drove Deutsche Bank to the top of the Euromoney FX survey over the past decade, is now co-head of FIC, a newly combined fixed-income and currency-trading division of the bank.
Awards for Excellence 2013: Best Flow house
"The FX market is what I would call the perfect flow market, where you have a high degree of deep liquidity, electronic trading, straight-through-processing automation on the client side, the sales side and the risk management side... One of the most important areas that we think will define the most successful flow business of the future is the cross-market electronic trading platform."
Amrolia promoted to co-head Deutsche's new FIC division
Zar Amrolia, who has led the bank's FX division to the number-one position in the Euromoney FX survey for the past eight years, has been promoted to co-head the bank's newly created fixed income and currencies group.
Deutsche Bank confirms new global head of FX
Kevin Rodgers became responsible for the operation of Deutsche Bank's global FX business on July 27, taking the place of long-standing FX head Zar Amrolia, who has become the head of a new unit at the bank called Markets Electronic Trading (MET).
Deutsche Bank launches next-generation Autobahn
"You can now build your own Autobahn for the functionality that you want as a client," says Zar Amrolia, Deutsche Bank's global head of foreign exchange. "It's a very modular approach; a bespoke Autobahn. These days, you just can't have a one-size-fits-all offering, you have to go bespoke."
FX Survey 2012: Against the flow
The results of this year's FX survey seem to suggest that appetite for the market-share fight is being tested. Market concentration is on the rise again, with the top five banks now holding 55% of market share. The largest FX flow houses are quick to jump on this as a crucial signal. "It's an inflection point," says Zar Amrolia, global head of FX at Deutsche Bank. "The industry is fundamentally going to change in the next three to five years. What we do now, this year, is going to determine the winners of the next five to 10 years."
Foreign exchange: Eurozone crisis drives FX volumes
"Whereas in 2008 revenues were driven by wider bid-offer spreads, in the third quarter [of this year] they were driven by volumes," says Zar Amrolia, Deutsche's global head of foreign exchange. "Bid-offer spreads have remained quite tight."
EuromoneyFXNews talks to Deutsche's Zar Amrolia
With electronic trading more important than ever, Zar Amrolia, Deutsche Bank's global head of foreign exchange, says that investment in people and technology will keep the bank in the driving seat with Autobahn. He discusses the relative merits of single-dealer and multi-dealer platforms as Euromoney's 2011 FX survey goes live.
FX survey 2011: Banks take fight to the algo traders
"It's true that the high-frequency community raised the bar on the banks in pricing and risk management and Deutsche Bank is responding by investing in our infrastructure to a point where we will compete on at least a level playing field," says Zar Amrolia, global head of foreign exchange at Deutsche Bank, which has secured first position in Euromoney's FX survey for a seventh straight year. "You have to factor latency into your risk management. We resolved that and now we're putting that in place."
Front (l–r): Fabian Shey (UBS), Zar Amrolia (Deutsche) and Ivan Ritossa (Barclays). Back (l–r): Martin Wiedmann (Credit Suisse) and Anil Prasad (Citi)
FX survey 2010: The chasing pack narrows the gap
"We have no goals to achieve 100% internalization because it's highly unlikely that you'll make any money from that," says Deutsche's global head of foreign exchange, Zar Amrolia. "We're looking for the optimal point, whereby we internalize flow that we feel confident can be offset by our clients, internal traders, or where we benefit from favourable market moves, or we externalize flow into the general marketplace with low offset value, or be subject to adverse market moves."
FX poll 2009: Staying power in troubled times
"The secret here is how to be consistent when consistency is required and how to change when change is required. We have never taken our leadership position with clients for granted"
- Zar Amrolia, Deutsche Bank
Can anyone topple Deutsche in FX?
When Zar Amrolia, now managing director of global finance and foreign exchange, first walked on to the then Deutsche Morgan Grenfell's foreign exchange sales and trading floor in 1995, he wasn't entirely sure that he had made the right career move.
FX poll 2009: Embattled banks boosted by performance in booming FX markets
Zar Amrolia, Global Head of Foreign Exchange at Deutsche Bank, commented: "Winning the Euromoney poll for the fifth year running is a clear testament that our business model is working. Market participants who assume that the flow business requires less intellectual property and ability than the so-called complex businesses are missing a trick. We believe the ability to differentiate ourselves by applying intellectual capital to the way we do flow has been absolutely central to our success."
Best Global Foreign Exchange House
'In the crisis, we were consistently there for our clients. We were really given a chance to differentiate ourselves from our competitors, which to an extent hasn't been there in recent years, and we did that'
- Zar Amrolia, Deutsche's global head of FX.
FX poll 2008: FX moves to centre stage
"I've heard those pessimistic comments [that FX is commoditized with limited growth potential] since at least the pre-euro days of the late 1990s and the answer is a definitive yes to continued growth," says Zar Amrolia, managing director global finance and FX at Deutsche Bank. "We've been consistently growing by double-digit percentages over the past few years, and by high double-digit percentages more recently – that's hardly limited growth. I believe the FX market is the most competitive market, and that drives innovation."
FX poll 2008: Deutsche dominates, Barclays boosted, BoA bashed
Deutsche's global head of FX, Zar Amrolia, waxes lyrical about the bank's further success. "We won for the first time in 2000 and that was probably a goal in its own right. The goal now is to consistently innovate and add value to clients: whether it's new ways for order management on our electronic platform or intelligently managing risk with derivatives or even creating benchmark indices for currencies, we challenge the status quo."
Awards for Excellence 2007: Best Foreign Exchange House
The bank has sought to deliver what is seen by many as a holy grail in the market – cross-product margining. Zar Amrolia, the bank's global head of FX, admits Deutsche did not pioneer this, but it was swift to bring in the expertise from outside once it saw it developing.
Appointments: Zar Amrolia returns to Deutsche Bank as global head of forex
Zar Amrolia has been appointed global head of foreign exchange at Deutsche Bank. His promotion is one of a number of senior-level changes at the bank.
FX Poll 2006: Worlds Largest FX banks by market share
"We have exited some client relationships by mutual consent, and used the resources to acquire new clients or deepen existing relationships"
FX poll 2001: Forex transformed by mergers
An M&A-based spree: M&A-based forex does comprise an important part of Goldman Sachs' business though. Since 1986, the bank has consistently appeared in the top 20 in the Euromoney poll but has never before reached third. It's a result that Zar Amrolia, co-head of global FX, says is the product of several years' consistent focus on client needs. He stresses that there is no single explanation for the meteoric rise in market share - from 4.38% in 2000 to 7.09% this year. It seems likely, however, that a significant part of this is derived from investment banking related business. Amrolia himself says almost as much. "Last year was a bumper year for M&A," he says. "Let's not kid ourselves about that."
BEST EUROBOND TRADING HOUSE
Deutsche's integrated business approach will be extended online in form of dbmarkets.com, a multi-product and multi-service system. "By August, institutional investors will be able to access research material and comments, trading strategies, analytical tools and can execute their strategies across a whole range of products," says Zar Amrolia, head of client e-business.
FX poll 2000: Deutsche Bank's great victory
For all the obvious progress that has been made by a number of houses in developing internet trading systems, sceptics say so far the principal focus of the industry has been on achieving cost efficiencies for the banks themselves, rather than on delivering any sort of value added for the customer. Zar Amrolia, who recently moved from the foreign exchange business to become head of global e-business at Deutsche Bank thinks that "there has been a lot of froth and not too much substance about foreign exchange trading over the internet so far. The systems out there at the moment do not provide what customers really want, which is a co-mingled service providing prices from multiple banks combined with straight through processing." Instead, he suggests that many systems developed to date are often little more than "glorified e-mails".
FX poll 1998: A tough race gets tougher
As companies start looking beyond their national boundaries to define their success, the ability to offer a global service in foreign exchange is becoming more important. "Who corporates and investors view as their competition is changing," says Zar Amrolia, Deutsche's head of sales. "For example, a UK corporate is more interested in its hedging policy relative to other competitors in the industry sector in Europe or the US rather than other UK corporates."
Exotics enter the mainstream
Investors are still eager for range products despite higher pricing as a result of lower volatilities and the reduction in the number of banks in the market. "Even with present volatility levels there is still enough value to be extracted from range trades for people to be interested," says Zar Amrolia, head of global risk strategy at Deutsche Morgan Grenfell in London.
FX poll 1996: A close Chase
Star climber: The most explosive new entrant to this year's top 10 is a bank that did not appear even in the top 20 last year: Deutsche Morgan Grenfell. It comes in at nine. In derivatives, Zar Amrolia was brought in - with a whole sales team from CSFP - to run global options sales

Working Press, books by and about working class artists, 1986-1996: collaborative cataloguing
Taylor, Rebekah (2013) Working Press, books by and about working class artists, 1986-1996: collaborative cataloguing. In: Cataloguing Creativity Symposium: GLAM Group for Literary Archives & Manuscripts, 15 November 2013, British Library, London. (Unpublished)
Taylor, Rebekah
'WORKING PRESS: books by and about working class artists' 1986 - 1996' was an unfunded self-publication imprint that was started in 1985 by Doctor Stefan Szczelkun, an artist and academic at Westminster University, and Graham Harwood, graphic designer.
The publications produced explore perceptions of the working class, women artists, disabled artists and black artists, and gives an insight into self-funded publishing activity of the time.
Material has been donated to the University for Creative Arts through Doctor Stefan Szczelkun, after approaching UCA's research cluster bookRoom, who suggested that it should be hosted within the library. bookRoom, formed in 2004, focuses on critical and practice based research into the photographic book and the printed page, and has an interest in the Working Press self-publication imprint.
The collection includes correspondence and financial material related to the Working Press (and written to and by, Stefan Szczelkun), the imprint itself, and Artist Books and pamphlets collected by Stefan Szczelkun. The collection does not include books collected by, or correspondence administrated by Graham Harwood.
The paper would look at issues and ways of cataloguing this collection, Stefan's involvement in the cataloguing of these papers, and bookRoom's requirements as researchers.

Assange accused of rape

Is it me or is that just a bit dodgy
One minute a guy is accused of rape and molestation then he's not
Choccy
Mad. So, he is accused of rape and molestation, then 24hrs later the chief prosecutor says "I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape."
But forever, google searches for him will bring up 'rape' and 'molestation' charges despite having been immediately dropped. Fucked.
This is absolutely disgusting.
Don't come to conclusions to early... he's still up for two counts of molestation. But dropping the rape charge means he doesn't have to report to the Police.
A few years ago he was involved in trying to organise hundreds of women to protest in their bikinis outside a mosque in Australia - obv that isn't the same as rape or molestation, but it certainly shows he probably isn't that great when it comes to respecting women.
edit - the protest ended up being canned after it got taken over by the local fascists

I never knew he was involved in that - can you give me a link for that?
Before launching WikiLeaks in 2006, Mr Assange had a successful career writing computer programs.
He also helped his mother's disastrous attempt to launch a so-called 'bikini' protest against Islamic radicals in Australia in 2006.
In interviews at the time, Mrs Assange said that bikinis were an essential part of Australian culture, adding: 'We're not going to cover up to avoid rape.'
But the Great Australian Bikini March was cancelled after it was hijacked by neo-Nazi groups.
The bit about Assange starts mid-way down http://www.mailonline.co.uk/news/article-1299311/FBI-question-WikiLeaks-mother-Welsh-home-Agent-interrogate-distressed-woman-search-sons-bedroom.html
sort it out frosty
sounds like he's a bit of a freedom enthusiast rather than a closet rapist (fits the profile eh?). whats wrong with a bikini protest in favor of womens freedom of there bodies? organised by his mum, a woman, against anti-women religious nutters.
Anyway he's just the frontman. They took a gamble when they went from faceless to hyped personality cult organisation and are now (perhaps) paying the price.
From my point of view there is no need to *trust* Assange or Wikileaks, they should just release verifiable documents.

The new loading screen looks much nicer then the old and I am really liking not having to worry about the lobby however having to keep clicking on OK to the devblog window kind of defeats removing the lobby.
Is there any way to only show updated messages or remove it all together?
Unfortunately, there is no way for us to determine if the user has seen the news or not. I am thinking about showing it as one of these boxes to the right, but that might not be enough space on all resolutions.
Is there any way to scale the text depending on resolution? Also what about just headlines and a click for more info link? Could have more then just the latest news that way also.


My name is Shaira (Shy-ra) from Shaira's Little Stars!
Afte …r I made a very large move from New York to North Carolina, I had my 6 month old son to care for and doll collecting was put on the back burner.
I then decided to begin again and fell in love with Vintage Barbies from the 1970's through the 1980's. My collection grew immensely.
Then my sister showed me a realistic baby doll she had been given as a gift. They were called Reborns and I was enthralled. I googled it and ordered a kit and began reborning. In my love for Reborns grew my newest passion which is Ball-Jointed-Dolls. And as many of you know, they are probably among the most expensive of doll hobbies so I slowly dwindled my collection and began collecting Barbies yet again.
But instead of regular Barbies, I've begun customizing them by mixing and matching heads I love with the new Made To Move Barbie bodies.
And now, I've gotten into the Ruruko dolls and Azone PureNeemo dolls made in Japan and I gotta say, I'm becoming a bit obsessive.
Now, I create doll dioramas with doll photography in mind. I enjoy making doll dioramas immensely. I try to make them with several size dolls in mind. My photos show a variety of my dolls in different sizes for comparison. I am happy to take commissions and make custom rooms from photos you've found as inspiration.
Shaira hasn't made any lists... yet.
