The Horsley Board method of swarm control and re queening is probably best used when the colony is well advanced, covering at least nine B.S. frames of brood. It is also helpful to have a good nectar flow. It should only be used on colonies that you are happy to propagate from, if you have bees that are less than good you should use another method the first year so that you can re-queen with good stock. The method forms a circular pattern that can be repeated year on year.
Construct a board as shown in the diagram and description that occurs on the this page.
In spring the hive is first reduced to one brood box during normal Spring management.
When the colony is strong with most frames full of brood, usually late May or early June this method may be employed whether queen cells have been started or not.
Fill an empty brood box with frames of comb and foundation, take out the centre comb leaving a space. Lift the roof from the hive, and place to one side. Lift the hive off the floorboard and place on the roof, cover the empty brood box and place it on the now vacant floorboard. Put the supers to one side whilst you find the frame with the queen on, this is often easier said than done, however, If you do not find her at first, cover the brood box and leave it for a short while so that most of the flying bees can find their way into the new, empty brood box, this will relieve the congestion and make queen finding much easier. Having found the frame with the queen inspect it for queen cells and destroy any that may be found, place this frame in the space left in the brood box on the original hive site. Put on the queen excluder and the supers that were removed earlier.
Then place the Horsley Board on with the wedge uppermost and at the back of the hive. Close up the frames in the brood box from which you have taken the queen, and insert the spare frame at the outside, lift the brood box on to the Horsley Board and replace crown board and roof.
Open out the wedge to its fullest extent and leave the hive alone for three or four days. This enables the flying bees to return to the lower brood box and the bees that are left consider themselves queenless.
Partly close the wedge leaving only just sufficient space for the bees to leave or enter, this will partially uncover the excluder panel and allow the bees free access.
Examine the top box again after ten days and queen cells should be evident, and fairly advanced. As soon as, at least, one is seen... Open the wedge to its fullest extent closing off the excluder panel totally. Examine the top box again after another seven to ten days and look for a queen or eggs. If no eggs are observed indicating that the queen has either not yet mated or if she has she has not yet come into lay, close up and look again in another few days. I think this is unwise. I would reduce the Q/Cs to one. You are making the selection, not the bees and in similar circumstances I have seen bees swarm, especially if the weather is cool for a day or so before emergence, then brightens up. R.P.
As soon as eggs are seen, lift the box off the Horsley Board and reverse the board itself so that the wedge is at the front of the hive. Partly close the wedge allowing only a small entrance as in stage two, the excluder panel will now be partially open and the two colonies will be able to work together and can be left in this configuration for the rest of the season.
At the end of the season, when the honey has been removed, the top box is placed onto the bottom box and the Horsley Board removed, No newspaper is required as the two boxes are actually the same colony the two queens will sort out if they wish to lay together or one may depose the other. 90% of the time it will be the young queen that remains for next season, but it is not a certainty.
Having removed the honey supers that have been in place all summer. Re-build the hive so that it has stand, floor, the top brood box which contains the young queen, the Horsley Board with the wedge fully open towards the back of the hive, what was the bottom brood box with the old queen, crown board and roof.
When moving day arrives... Take off the top box and Horsley Board and add the excluder and the empty supers to the box on the stand. The stack, which now has all the flying bees from both groups, can then be transferred onto your heather floor for transport. Place the box with the old queen onto the original hive stand and they will be ready for uniting when the other group return from the heather, newspaper or some other method should be used as the bees will have lost any sense of being "one colony".
If queen cells are actually being raised at the time of your initial inspection, when you are first looking for the queen, do not examine any further... Place the box with the full compliment of empty combs on the floor board, put the queen excluder and supers on this, then place the Horsley board on top, with the fully open wedge to the back of the hive, the original brood chamber and all frames are placed on this and crown board and roof completes the set up. The Horsley Board excluder panel will be fully closed, the flying bees will find their way to the original entrance and thus enter the bottom brood box. The depleted bees in the top box will tear down the queen cells. After a few days the frame with the queen on is placed in the centre of the bottom box and the top box with the brood and bees is left on the Horsley board and we are effectively at stage one again, but a few days later than planned.

When it debuted, the RDX was only available in all-wheel-drive. However, the 2011 RDX can be ordered in two-wheel-drive form that generates a vehicle weight reduction, improved fuel economy and a lower purchase price. Externally, all 2011 RDX feature striking 18-inch diameter aluminum wheels, bold front and rear bumper fascias, Acura's signature front grille and satin trim accents.
RDX targets young professionals who are upwardly mobile and work hard, but play hard too. The typical buyer enjoys playing a sport, lives in the city, and on the weekends often travels to the mountains, country or coast. This customer wants a stylish vehicle that offers a higher "eye-point" (driving position) and more cargo flexibility than a sedan - but with the style, handling and performance of a sports sedan. Thus, the transformable utility of the RDX, along with its engaging performance and handling, is a perfect fit.
RDX features Acura's first application of a forced-induction engine. The 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine features a variable flow turbocharger designed to provide quick response at low rpm as well as strong high-rpm power. The advantage of the variable flow turbo is quick off-idle acceleration that drivers want in the city environment, together with 240 horsepower for the passing and hill-climbing ability of a traditional 6-cylinder engine. The RDX's turbocharged engine produces 260 lb-ft of torque. It also returns an EPA* estimated city/highway/combined fuel economy of 19/24/21 mpg (2WD) and 17/22/19 mpg (SH-AWD™), while meeting tough EPA TIER 2 - BIN 5 and CARB LEV II ULEV emissions standards.
Befitting its concept as an urban sports vehicle for young professional singles or couples, the RDX body design is powerful and athletic with muscular bodylines that impart a sense of command and control. Key styling elements include body sides that rake upward front to rear, generous wheel arches that emphasize the large wheels and tires, a short rear overhang, and a cargo door that's positioned flush with the bumper. For 2010, the RDX exterior received a fresh look thanks to new 18-inch diameter aluminum wheels, bold new front and rear bumper fascias, Acura's signature front grille, revised headlights and taillights, new exhaust tips and satin trim accents.
Among the advanced electronic technologies in the RDX is a standard 7-speaker Acura Premium Sound System with a multi-format 6-disc changer, AM/FM tuner, XM® Radio and Bluetooth® Audio. A USB port and AUX jack makes it easy to connect an external music player such as an iPod®/iPhone® or an MP3 player.
The RDX is so well equipped in standard form that only one optional trim package is available. Appealing to audiophile and computer-savvy customers, the Technology Package makes the RDX truly "wired." The Technology Package includes a 10-speaker Acura/ELS Surround® Premium Sound System with multi-format 6-disc DVD-Audio changer, AM/FM tuner and XM® Radio. The Technology Package also includes AcuraLink® Satellite Communication System, the Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition™, AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic with Traffic Rerouting™, AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™, rearview camera with an 8-inch color display and a GPS-linked, solar-sensing, dual-zone, automatic climate control system. In total, these technologies put the RDX at the cutting edge of the Entry Premium SUV segment.
The RDX breaks ground in a number of important safety areas. Its Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal crashes, and it has a specially engineered hood and other components to reduce the chance of injury in the event of a collision with a pedestrian.
The RDX was the first Acura light truck to be assembled in Honda of America Manufacturing's facility in Marysville, Ohio*, the same factory that produces the Acura TL. As a result, it now brings light-truck production capacity and even greater versatility to the Marysville, Ohio plant.
Producing both a SUV and a sedan on the same assembly line requires additional flexibility because of vast dimensional differences (in particular the height and width of the RDX rear section). The assembly process in Marysville was optimized to reduce overhead lifting and reaching for workers installing the rear hatch. In addition, the assembly plant was modified to accommodate the installation of the RDX's SH-AWD™ system.

La plataforma F o F-Body, fue una plataforma de automóvil deportivo de tracción trasera de General Motors desde 1967 hasta 2002. Se basa en parte en la plataforma X que fue utilizado para aplicaciones compactas en lugar de la intención deportiva de la plataforma F. Los dos únicos vehículos que se han construido utilizando la plataforma F son el Chevrolet Camaro y el Pontiac Firebird. El cuarto carácter en el Número de Identificación Vehicular (VIN) para un coche de plataforma F es la «F», en los vehículos de cuarta generación. Camaros y Firebirds anteriores tenían diferentes códigos VIN, pero se conocía comúnmente como plataforma F o como «F-bodies».

La plataforma F consiste de un conjunto de carrocería de técnica mixta, en la cual un semi-monocasco se combinaba con un chasis parcial (subchasis) que soporta el motor, el puente delantero y la transmisión.

Evolución de la plataforma F

Primera generación (1967-1969)
Los primeros coches de plataforma F fueron producidos en 1967, como respuesta de General Motors al Ford Mustang. Originalmente diseñado estrictamente como la plataforma para el Camaro, a los ingenieros de Pontiac se les dio un corto período de tiempo antes del lanzamiento del Camaro para producir una versión que coincida con su estilo corporativo también. La plataforma F estaba disponible tanto como un coupé de techo duro y convertible con techo de lona. Al igual que la política de General Motors en el momento, Chevrolet y Pontiac ambos instalan sus propios motores. Sin embargo, las alineaciones de los motores fueron similares. Los dos coches se podrían tener con el motor de seis cilindros en línea de base de una u otra división, un motor V8 de aproximadamente  de Chevrolet o  de Pontiac, o bien, un V8 más grande de aproximadamente  de Chevrolet o  de Pontiac. Debido a los retrasos con el diseño de los coches de segunda generación, los modelos 1969 se produjeron más de lo habitual.

En 1968 el «subchasis» de la plataforma F fue adaptado al la plataforma X y formó la base para el Chevrolet Nova y vehículos similares entre los años 1968 y 1979.

Segunda generación (1970-1981)
Los coches de segunda generación de plataforma F fueron lanzados de hecho como coches 1970½, debido a las extensas demoras en el diseño y la producción del nuevo estilo de la carrocería. Ambos coches crecieron considerablemente, con cambios bastante drásticos en el estilo para que coincida con el estilo de cada marca actualizada en toda la línea. Solamente Pontiac recibió opciones de motor en el rango de  en los primeros años de la segunda generación de Chevrolet, está en los manuales técnicos, pero nunca se produjo, o bien, de  de Pontiac. Sin embargo, esta opción del motor se suspendería ya que las emisiones y las restricciones de economía de combustible hicieron sus costos de producción prohibitivos. El rendimiento siguió disminuyendo hasta 1981, ya que los niveles de potencia disminuyeron y aumentaron de peso.

Tercera generación (1982-1992)
La tercera generación de la plataforma F se introdujo para el año 1982, como un rediseño importante con un aspecto más moderno y un coche más ligero y de mejor manejo. En una medida que más tarde pasará a través de casi todos los modelos de GM, el Firebird cambia de motores diseñados de Pontiac a los mismos motores que Chevrolet que alimentaba el Camaro. Esta fue también la única generación de Plataforma F a estar disponible con un motor de cuatro cilindros en línea, conocido como el Iron Duke. El último Firebird que se construirá con un motor no disponible en el Camaro fue el Trans Am Turbo de 1989, que tenía un V6 Buick con turbocompresor de , derivado del Buick Regal.

Cuarta generación (1993-2002)
La cuarta generación de la plataforma F fue lanzado en 1993. Era una extensa revisión de la tercera generación de coches, en lugar de un diseño completamente nuevo. Fue producido hasta que la plataforma se canceló a finales de los año modelo 2002. A diferencia de la mayor parte de años pasados, las opciones de motor se han simplificado considerablemente, cada año, tanto en el Camaro y el Firebird, solamente había un V6 y un V8 disponibles. Para el año 1993 y 1995, el V6 a 60° fue el de ; Los autos entre 1996-2002 recibieron el V6 de  3800 Series II. Los automóviles entre 1993-1997 V8 son suministrados con el  LT1, mientras los automóviles de 1998-2002 recibieron el de  LS1. Ambos motores estaban disponibles con la transmisión automática de cuatro velocidades 4L60E. Motores V6 con una transmisión manual tenían una unidad de cinco velocidades y la manual para los coches V8 fue el de seis velocidades T-56, fabricados ya sea por BorgWarner o Tremec. Una palanca de cambios opcional suministrado por Hurst también estaba disponible en los modelos V8.

Legado
General Motors ha vuelto a introducir el Chevrolet Camaro como un modelo de 2010, utilizando la plataforma Zeta, curiosamente con un código VIN de «F». Según General Motors, ningún modelo de acompañante de la marca Pontiac fue planeada antes de la interrupción de la marca Pontiac en 2009. Antes del lanzamiento del Camaro, Pontiac había lanzado una importación cautiva rebautizado que era un coche de plataforma Zeta , el Pontiac G8, que era un rebautizado Holden VE Commodore de Australia.

The chasm between what parents want for their children and what kids want for themselves is rarely addressed in films, especially in romantic comedies where the focus is primarily on young couples falling in and out of love and then back in again. Of course, we know that parents are usually involved, especially immigrant families where adherence to tradition may come before their children's wishes. Based on the actual courtship of Kumail Nanjiani and his wife Emily V. Gordon, Michael Showalter's ("Hello, My Name Is Doris") bittersweet comedy, The Big Sick is an exception, focusing on the influence of a Pakistani family on the life choices of their son Kumail (Nanjiani, "Fist Fight") especially his relationship with his Caucasian girl friend, Emily (Zoe Kazan, "Ruby Sparks").
The film sounds weighty especially if you add in Emily's life-threatening illness, but it is primarily a comedy and a very funny one at that, even if the humor is so deadpan that you often have to listen very closely to appreciate it. In the film, Kumail is a stand-up comedian as well as a part-time Uber driver who is determined to live his own life even if he has to thwart his family's wishes for him, especially those of his mother (Zenobia Shroff, "When Harry Tries to Marry") who wants him to become a lawyer, adhere to the family religion, and participate in an arranged marriage to a Pakistani girl. When a "woo-hoo" from the audience interrupts one of Kumail's "big shtick" comic routines, the comic informs the heckler that any interruption, positive or negative, is considered heckling.
Finding out that the heckler is an attractive blond graduate student in psychology, Kumail engages her in conversation after the show which, of course, is continued back in his small apartment. They decide, however, that they will not see each other again, but are continually drawn together until five months of dating has passed. Unfortunately, the budding relationship comes to a screeching halt when Emily finds Kumail's hidden pictures of prospective Pakistani brides and realizes that he has never told her about his family's marriage plans for him, nor even mentioned her to his mom. She questions his commitment, even when Kumail explains his dilemma of marrying outside his religion which would cause him to lose his family.
The relationship has to be put on the back burner, however, when Emily is rushed to the hospital with a mysterious lung infection. A worried Kumail shows up at the hospital and, pretending to be her husband, approves putting her in a medically-induced coma to fight the spreading infection. The film's focus soon becomes the connection between Kumail and Emily's parents Terry (Ray Romano, "Ice Age: Collision Course") and Beth (Holly Hunter, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"), who have come from North Carolina to be with their daughter. Aware of Kumail's deception about his family, they tell him that he does not have to stay, but he persists and they gradually warm to each other, opening up about their problems.
One of the best comedic moments of the film happens when Terry incongruously asks Kumail how he feels about the 9/11 attacks and his response will keep you laughing. As Kumail goes back and forth to the hospital, the conflicts that emerge between Kumail, Emily, and her parents, while serious, do not affect the film's sense of humor, but add depth and sincerity to the characters. Underneath the medical emergency and the family conflicts, however, The Big Sick is a sweet romance about two likable people whom we root for to overcome their resistance and draw closer. While it is a comedy, it is not afraid to confront the complexities involved in an interracial relationship, and serve as a persuasive rebuttal to the Islamophobia present in today's political culture.

That's a well balanced, thought provoking article. Ten years ago, I would have laughed, and muttered something about "conspiracy theorists", had someone claimed that our country was a police state. I've stopped laughing now, because I'm seeing some disturbing legislation and activities.
My mind is immediately drawn to the questions of "Why are we becoming a police state?" "Who is to blame?" and "When did this perceived trend toward aggressive policing start?"
As to why we are seeing this change, and who is to blame; I can only point the finger at us (the big "us" as in Americans, not the "us" monkeys).
The last thing we should do, I think, is to blame the LEOs. It is true that many people who join law enforcement organizations do so for all the wrong reasons, and I think that the Police Officers among us would agree. I know each of them have run into people in their departments over the years who should not have had a gun and a badge. Those of us who spent time in the military similarly knew many people who should not have been wearing the uniform alongside of us.
Blaming the LEOs for our slide toward a police state is as asinine as blaming returning soldiers for the Vietnam War. They, in general, are not the cause. They are simply the most recognizable symbol of the problem.
Our American society, I think, is the root cause; and our (the big "our") continuing trend toward lack of personal responsibility. Americans are, I believe, progressively showing less of a tendency to accept personal responsibility for our problems; and are progressively asking our government and police forces to take on more responsibility. The initial example used in the article bears this out. Once upon a time, people wouldn't have relied upon the police department to take care of a problem with a family member. It would have been a "family" problem. You would have called a sibling or a cousin, or perhaps a neighbor, to help you deal with an unruly family member with diminished capacity. You would not have called the police.
I see stories every few months about a schoolchild, some as young as five, being handcuffed and detained by the police; because they are throwing violent fits in the classroom or principal's office. The public are outraged at the police. How about being outraged by the total lack of oversight and personal responsibility being demonstrated by the parents of the child? If the child is acting this way at school, they are doing it because their parent(s) are allowing it.
I was called to a meeting with the principal and teacher of my teenaged daughter many years ago, and told that she had been disrespectful to her teacher. (She had recently come to live with us, after her mother decided that she "couldn't handle her any longer.") I asked if this had happened before, and was told that it had, but that the school "didn't like to cause problems" so they didn't notify me until this most recent incident. While looking at my daughter, who was at the meeting, I told her principal and teacher that I worked over an hour from the school, but that I would appreciate it if they would call me the next time they had a problem with her; and that I would be happy to immediately come up to the school and correct the situation - that I would take my daughter off school grounds, apply some corrective attitude adjustment, and bring her back to class, where I would assure them that they would have her full cooperation and respectful attention. I never had another problem.
I didn't expect the school system to teach my child manners, anymore than I expect the police to protect me from every threat that might present itself. It never occurs to me to call the police if I hear something bumping around my house at night. I figure I'll call them to help remove the body later, but I don't need them to protect my house when I'm in it.
Our society wants to be protected from every potential threat, and apparently also expects the police to handle disputes with our neighbors, to remove snakes from our yards, to get our cats out of trees, to investigate the things that go bump in the night, and to raise our children for us; but we don't want aggressive policing. We can't have it both ways. When you delegate responsibility, you have to delegate, or abrogate, the authority that goes with it.
I also wonder when America started accusing the police of overly aggressive policing. Is this a new thing, or is it simply coming home to roost for a larger segment of the population? I dare say that the non-Irish immigrants in New York felt that the the police under the Tammany Hall regime in the 19th century were guilty of overly aggressive policing; and the civil rights marchers in Selma, Alabama on that "bloody Sunday" in 1965 probably didn't appreciate the attention paid to them by state and local police. I think most of those on the receiving end of that attention on that day would say, "Aggressive Policing getting you down? Welcome to my world."

I would also consider the recent "liberal legislation " in many states limiting the right of parents to provide appropiate corrective actions to the misbehavior of their childeren... I have seen childeren contact 911 for child abuse and assault when their parent swatted them on the backside for misbehavior... when we were growing up the cop would have applied additional swats and returned us to our parent... now the parent was arrested and charged... the charge was later thrown out but the parent stayed a manditory 48 hours in the pokie and when he tried to turn the child over to child welefare agencies they refused and threatend additional charges of child neglect...
don't get me wrong I can understand a true case of physical abuse being illegal but they really need to work on the definition....

It's not like it was that far of a leap/fall//sidestep from nanny-state to police-state though. It's been a long time in coming and I know we've all used and are tired of the analogy but boiling the frog is as accurate as they come.
The problem is that we've had control over the heat the entire time and WE have been the ones turning it up on ourselves the whole time and have nobody else to blame.

All I have to say is come up to where I live (Canadian Border). You can see for yourself that a police presence is growing. It has grown from having checkpoints only when it was 70 and sunny to now where they are running checkpoints multiple times per week. My wife (who said I was crazy about noticing this) now is a believer as she has to stop a whole lot more on her small commute to work.

I know the Feds and the states gives us unlimited DUI time for checkpoints and some of these depts are doing them every other day. Sometimes I enjoy doing them when it's warm and nice out to get out and B/S with the community. But Im not standing out there in 20 degree weather, rain and snow. I never seen a reason for the Goverment to give so much unlimited money for road checks. With the country going broke now before I make anyone mad I agree DUI is a problem across the US but me and the guys get most of ours when we are on regular patrol and I can see a road check two or three times a year but the way some of the places are going through money not good. Then you see they start doing joint road checks for other money and as an officer you can see it's a show of force to the public and why???? Ill leave that answer up to you I have my thought but safe to keep to my self with that one.

I can see the checkpoints on big drinking holidays for public safety(4th of july and new years). We dont really need thousands of people drunk out of their minds buzzing around but at the same time the local police departments seem to be more military than helping civs....

With a president who is dead set and determined to leave our borders wide open wouldn't you be more military?
It isn't just the police; during the past 3 plus years, America has turned into an armed camp.
Oh thank you 0bama for all the illegals for us to support in the style they've grown used to living.
ah, the borders are porous to let voters, er, visitors in. Not to let us out.
It's the internal checkpoints that I take exception to.
what with the 100 mile limit and vipr teams, I can't wait until the start putting up check points between states and counties.

I can't wait until the start putting up check points between states and counties.
THAT is addressed in Lights Out. The checkpoints don't last long, insufficient manpower.
Remote locations are cheap insurance.

This is whats wrong with society today, I agree when it's TRUE abuse something should be done about it! I have a friend who's son was being "difficult" and got swatted on the butt, someone else saw this and reported it. His son was taken to the emergency room and examined by a doctor & 2 nurses (he's only 10) for redness on said region, the father had to go to court twice ( the case was dismissed!), but something good came out of it, the son promised never disobey him again just so he wouldn't go thru the humility again!! (He was stripped naked and photo's taken for EVIDENCE!!) The father is considering legal action against the couple

I also agree, don't get me wrong! there are people out there that genuinely need help and I don't mind helping! But there are a great many who just abuse the "system" and get their "FREE LUNCH" so to speak. We on the other hand have to work hard to pay bills,own our home,and enjoy a few luxuries if we're lucky! [whistle2]

Throughout the literary establishments of Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 1990s, works striving for the interpretative initiative of native history have developed into a large quantity. This is due to the intense subjectivity anxiety caused by regime alternation and power games during the end of the 20th century in the two postcolonial societies. At this stage, female family history writing, guided by identity re-imagination in the postcolonial era, emerged as a significant vehicle for reconstructing the "lost subjectivity" and exhibited pluralistic writing strategies. This talk analyzes the general characteristics of female family history writing in 1990s Hong Kong and Taiwan—individualization and privatization of history, cultural hybridity, feminine writing, and meta-standpoint in historical writing—in representative works. Through a detailed analysis on elements such as history, culture, class and gender embedded in female family history writing of 1990s Hong Kong and Taiwan, the talk offers a more comprehensive understanding of the narrative strategies employed by HK and Taiwan female authors in achieving self-identity construction. It also reflects on the applicability of postcolonial theories in the contexts of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

To this may be added a few complaints from nearby residents, who denounced the portrait fiction of what is often referred to as Robinson Crusoe, pointing out that all hermit as it may be, it is primarily an occupant of illegal places.
