Advice and Resources on how to set up and run your project

for anyone involved in community food and health

Good practice and ideas

Looking for ideas on how to run a community food project? This section has good practice guides, toolkits and ideas for community cooking, community retailers, community catering and community growing projects, and some pointers on buying food supplies.

Pick up some toolkits and ideas

Planning and management

Getting a project off to a good start takes some careful planning, research and networking. This section looks at: meeting local needs; community involvement; making links with policy; aims, objectives and making a plan; organisation and management structures, including social enterprise.

Dip into planning and management

Money and fundraising

Managing your money includes budgeting, accounts and banking, and taxes. Of course you also need to raise it… Taking a broad approach to fundraising, this section has ideas on funding strategy and making applications, where to go for grant funding, raising income from trading and supporters, and loans and investors.

Money, money, money…

Know your legal responsibilities

If you handle food, work with volunteers or deal with people’s personal contact information, there are certain duties that you need to carry out by law: food safety and hygiene, health and safety, registration and licensing, trading standards, data protection and insurance.

The bigger, and more complex your initiative or enterprise becomes, the more legislation you need to be aware, for example: employment law and equal opportunities, charity and company law, and contracts.

Make sure you’ve got the law covered

Staff, volunteers and training

Your most important assets are people, so make sure that everyone is treated fairly and trained to play their part as well as they can. This section points to guidance on employing people and managing volunteers, and where to go for disclosure (criminal history) checks and training providers.

Look into people and training

Networking and making links

Arranging to meet useful contacts in your area is the best way to let people know what you do and to find out what local support is available. This section has ideas for where to go to develop your networks: community-led networks, local support structures, local support workers, community projects in your area and a local champion.

Guilty plea over ‘pistol’ threat

Christopher James Rollinson appeared at Rockingham Magistrates Court on March 8.

He pleaded guilty to being armed or pretending to be armed in a way that may cause fear.

The prosecutor said on October 9, 2015 at 9.05am Rollinson became involved in an argument with a driver by the side of the road. A second driver, going in the opposite direction, saw the dispute and out of concern for the first driver’s welfare, approached Rollinson.

He went up to Rollinson, who was still acting in an abusive and threatening manner, and pushed him in an effort to get him to stop.

Rollinson responded by saying he was going to his car to get his nunchucks, but instead got into his car and drove away east on Robinson Road.

The driver who had confronted Rollinson followed him.

Rollinson then produced what seemed to be a real firearm, waved it around and pointed it backwards towards his pursuer.

Police were called and later caught up with Rollinson.

They seized a toy gun that looked realistic.

Rollinson told Magistrate Leanne Aitkins he felt threatened.

“I did it in self defence,” he said.

“It was a stupid decision but I did it to get this guy away from me.

“In my view he was pursuing me into attacking me.

“I have a picture of this guy and due to our size difference, I was in fear.

“It was my only conclusion at that time when I was in fear.”

Magistrate Aitkins said it was a particularly serious offence due the current environment.

She sentenced him to a 12- month Intensive Supervision Order with programs and supervision requirements.

Konstantina Massage Services / Bad business practices

1 United States Review updated:

I booked an appointment with this masseuese, Konstantina, for 4 pm during my vacation in the Hamptons. When she hadn't showed up at 4:15, I called her. Flusstered and harried, she asked me if I had gotten her messages. I had been home almost the entire day and had received no calls or messages from her. Nonethless, she insisted she left me two messages saying that she was running late and asking if I wanted to keep my massage. Unfortunately, this was not really an actual question, because Konstantina told me she was runing so late and since SHE HADN'T HEARD FROM ME, she was going to have to cancel my massage. Rather than an apology and an offer for a complimentary massage at my convenience, she said she needed better contact information from me. I will obviously never give her my business again.

    Why is Jasmine Khalili slandering Konstantina permanently? The true story is that Jasmine could not get an appointment with Konstantina a few times and finally did. Unfortunately Konstantina incurred a mishap on her way to Jasmine's home for Jasmines second massage appointment. Jasmine apparently liked her and trusted her or she would have never asked her to return and would have called 1 of the hundreds of massage therapists who work in the Hamptons every summer. None the less Konstantina immediately called Jasmine's home however there was no answer so Konstantina left several voice mails. while she was managing to deal with When Konstantina finally reached Jasmine she explained her circumstance and Jasmine angrily stated that Konstantina called Jasmines fiancé which had no bearing on the issue if she was home with her fiancé so the question here is why didn't Jasmine pick up the phone or ask Konstantina to hold while she checked the voicemails that Konstantina left in frustration and concern?

    Ultimately Konstantina offered Jasmine an apology and a free massage as a token of good faith and Jasmine refused it. On a continued token of good faith Konstantina continued to call Jasmine in NYC every week or so to schedule Jasmines free sessions which was Jasmine's full time residence. Konstantina even went to the extent of contacting Jasmine in The Hamptons the following season to remind her of the offer she extended for a free massage and Jasmine would not return Konstantina's calls.

    Konstantina assumed that Jasmine was embarrassed for over reacting because she jumped to the conclusion that Konstantina intentionally did not want to work with Jasmine or did not respect Jasmines time especially after Jasmine listened to the voice messages Konstantina left Jasmine prior to her appointment.
    Although when this post was placed I questioned Jasmine's moral judgment as Jasmine at the time was part of a non profit organization that involved children and I question her ethics and motives. Konstantina was disconcerted about the situation at first but today she feels indifferent about it.

The secret ingredients to Coke have been closely guarded for about 125 years. With the potent, sugary nectar as its cornerstone, the Atlanta-based soda company has crushed its competition and built a truly global empire. Myth says the Coke formula remains locked in a vault in Atlanta, with only two of the company's executives knowing its full contents at any given point in time.

Or maybe not.

Producers from This American Life (Who were you expecting, Wikileaks?) claim to have discovered the formula in a photograph of a handwritten copy of the original recipe. The photo appeared in a 1979 article in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, though no one realized the lineage of the recipe at the time.

Coca-Cola has since denied that their secrets have been spilled, but the producers tried their hand at making the pirated Coke and claim it's pretty damn close to the stuff you get in bottles.

The feds may come knocking eventually (we couldn't pull up the TAL website, but that could just be due to traffic...), but the secret's out and the Internet is forever. Check out the entire recipe reproduced below and do a taste test for yourself.

The Recipe:

Fluid extract of Coca: 3 drams USP
Citric acid: 3 oz
Caffeine: 1 oz
Sugar: 30 (unclear quantity)
Water: 2.5 gal
Lime juice: 2 pints, 1 quart
Vanilla: 1 oz
Caramel: 1.5 oz or more for color

The Secret 7X Flavor (use 2 oz of flavor to 5 gals syrup):

Alcohol:  8 oz
Orange oil: 20 drops
Lemon oil: 30 drops
Nutmeg oil: 10 drops
Coriander: 5 drops
Neroli: 10 drops
Cinnamon: 10 drops

And there you have it, folks. Unstepped on.

Earlier today, Markus "Notch" Persson stepped aside as the lead developer on Minecraft, a game that started in alpha in May of 2009. Since then, Minecraft's influence has been undeniable, and it's clear from The Word of Notch how much his successor, Jens Bergensten, has had to do with it.

Notch said of working with Bergensten, "I’m amazed at how much in synch we two are when it comes to how to design the game."

It seems that the transition period should be smooth, if it even exists at all.

Expectedly, Notch said he will still have a hand in Minecraft's further development, and he continued by saying that he'll use the time off to "rest and refresh." Lastly, he said that he will start work on "a new project." That said, Mojang's Scrolls is not necessarily a "new" project, so Notch's statement could mean that he's talking about a new IP entirely....let's keep our fingers crossed!

Racing Board bets $10m on digital broadcast move

The NZ Racing Board retools with digital broadcast vans, but faces further costs

The New Zealand Racing Board is rolling out the first of its new digital outside broadcast vans (OBVs) this month.

Over the summer, the six vans, costing more than $10 million in total, will replace the NZRB’s eight existing analogue vans, which have reached the end of their economic life.

Head of broadcasting Glen Broomhall says switching to digital broadcasting will allow the NZRB, which films 950 races a year for the Trackside channel, to broadcast in both the traditional 4x3 format as well as the widescreen 16x9 commonly used by other television networks.

However, the NZRB faces having to spend up to an extra $1 million more to “retrofit” its new $2.2 million cameras, if outside broadcasting has to migrate from the “O” band to the “OX” band, as currently proposed by the Ministry of Economic Development.

Rather than have a changeover in 2010, the NZRB has told the MED it would prefer “sunset” for the “O” band to be in 2012, to make its new cameras more commercially viable.

The filming of races uses a mix of cabled and wireless cameras operating off the “O” band, Broomhill explains.

The wireless cameras operate from remote regions on the racetrack — camera towers up to 800m away from the OBV and also the race-start positions. There can be up to the maximum of four NZRB wireless cameras operating on a single race day.

The new vans, due for roll-out from next week, during Christchurch Cup Week, will be fitted with Thomson LDK 400 digital cameras. They will be deployed using a mix of cabled and wireless interconnectivity.

Across the country, the OBV fleet will be equipped with 20 wireless cameras operating on the “O” band.

The NZRB says it has been aware of MED plans to auction-off this band for future broadband use, and that the ministry plans to migrate present users to secure spectrum on the “OX” band.

However, Broomhill says there are currently no commercial suppliers of digital camera equipment using the “OX” frequency, so the board has been forced to buy cameras that use the “O” band.

Camera supplier to the NZRB, Thomson Grass Valley, has told the racing board it would take 18 months or more to develop a retro-fit so “O” band cameras could operate in the “OX” band. This would cost $15,000 to $18,000 per camera chain.

“If we are forced to move onto the “OX” band, it would require significant change.

We are building six new digital trucks so they can have 14 cameras each,” Broomhill says.

“We rely on the ‘O’ Band, as most broadcasters do. It’s a cost issue and timing implication,” he explains.

The new digital vans will operate using the SDI serial digital signal.

“We considered going to HDTV but decided we would re-look at that in five years. They key factor was cost — you don’t add 30% for this. For us to get the signal out to the track over 900 times a year is very expensive. The bandwidth required to get the signal from the racetrack to the studio would be substantially higher (under HDTV),” he adds.

E-commerce security tools that work together

In order to be successful with DLP, a company needs to prepare, identify and understand where the data leakage risks are within its organization

The Jericho Forum is an organization pushing for innovation in e-commerce security. In this essay, Joerg Horn, head of gateway solutions at Utimaco, a Jericho Forum member, discusses combining data-leak prevention and encryption technologies for enterprise information protection.

Data leakage incidents generally occur when workers are performing everyday tasks, such as sending e-mail that inadvertently contains sensitive information. When this happens, data-leak prevention (DLP) products -- in theory -- should be able to flag it for sensitive keywords, fingerprinted documents or data structures, thereby helping to mitigate the risk of data leakage.

Once flagged, data-leak prevention technology analyzes the content, classifies the data and decides whether the data needs to be protected. It can then automatically enforce a pre-determined data protection policy.

The Jericho Forum is an organization with stated principles for fostering innovative security approaches. Principle No. 11 states: "By default, data must be appropriately secured when stored, in transit and in use." The sub-clauses for this principle state: "Removing the default must be a conscious act" and "High security should not be enforced for everything; 'appropriate' implies varying levels with potentially some data not secured at all'".

Today, most people who use encryption on their computer hard disk tend to send data via e-mail, USB, CD-ROM or network to a file-share unencrypted.

Disk encryption technology is designed to protect against external threats, both those that result from malicious insiders trying to steal data (including lost or stolen laptops) and from employee errors. If implemented properly, data-leak prevention offers the tantalizing prospect of being able to apply encryption to sensitive data whenever it is exported, thus protecting against misuse (intentional or unintentional) by people with authorized access to data.

DLP products should be "smart" enough to be selective about encryption, using it only when needed. In practice, if a user puts a confidential database on a USB stick, or sends out an e-mail containing sensitive data, DLP should automatically recognize that the content needs to be protected and would trigger encryption based on the content. In this case, data-leak prevention should work in concert with encryption by supporting compliance requirements, reducing the cost associated with encryption and streamlining many of the administrative tasks associated with encryption.

Some organizations have tried to solve the problem of data security leakage by placing an appliance in the data center to inspect outgoing traffic from the company network. However, in a de-perimeterized world, there is rarely a consistent "choke-point" to place any such appliance, so this approach fails.

Today, many employees do not work within the walls of the organization. While this mobile workforce can increase productivity, it can also increase the risk that corporate data will be inadvertently exposed. To combat this very modern threat, enterprises should examine their current and future architectures, and where appropriate combine client-based and gateway-based data-leak prevention so that it is close to both the data and the users.

A key component to successful data-leak prevention and encryption deployments is an organization's understanding of which types of data need to be protected, and where that data resides. This is a task not to be underestimated. However neither encryption nor DLP magically begins protecting data. Encryption and DLP can only enforce policies once the policies have been determined and implemented.

In order to be successful with DLP, a company needs to prepare, identify and understand where the data leakage risks are within its organization, as well as determine what its security policies are around the management of sensitive data.

Once policies and the technology are in place, the combination of encryption and DLP then offers the prospect of protecting not only information that is already on hand, but also providing protection for new data as it comes into the organization. Perhaps the greatest advantage to deploying DLP technology is the ability to help companies better understand where sensitive data is located in their organization, classify data so that they understand the different levels of sensitivity they are dealing with, and then apply the right set of controls to that data.

1934 Riley MPH

1934 Riley MPH 1934 Riley MPH 1934 Riley MPH Roadster
A Sporting Blend of Tradition and Innovation
Riley was an English motorcar built in Coventry. The original company manufactured bicycles in the 1980s. Before the dawn of the 20th century, the owner's son, Percy Riley, had built a 'quadricycle' prototype. A production car followed in 1905. During 1912, Riley introduced a detachable wheel rim patented by Percy - the design would eventually be used on 180 makes worldwide. The final Riley car was produced in 1969.

During the 1920s, the Riley automobile was a well known and popular car throughout the British Empire, produced in 4-, 6- and even 8-cylinder variants. Sport models such as the Riley Brooklands, a model that was competitive in both hill climbs and at LeMans, were prized by enthusiasts of the era.

The Riley 'MPH' was a larger 6-cylinder sports car, based on the successful 4-cylinder 'Imp.' Only 20 were produced, and the car displayed is the most authentic one remaining in the world. It was originally imported to Switzerland by the Riley distributor, who used it for racing.

The Riley MPH was a combination of old and new tech: the body work was aluminum, but over a traditional ash frame. The MPH engine is a twin-cam 2-liter inline six, driving through a Wilson 'Pre-Selector' 4-speed semi-automatic gearbox. Mr. Lutz acquired the car in 1963 and is only its third owner.

1934 Riley MPH 1934 Riley MPH Roadster
Chassis #: 44 T 2255
Engine # 2577
Sold for $308,000 at 2008 Gooding & Company.
This 1934 Riley MPH was delivered new to Hector Dobbs at hedge End Motor Registry in Hampshire, England. It is believed that the car was used by Dobbs in competition. Dobbs, a Riley agent, had a history of racing that included a Riley Nine that, in modified form, won the Ripley Mountain Handicap in the 1934 BARC Easter Meeting.

The Federation Internationale de L'Automobile (FIA) form states that this car was modified into an offset single-seater by Dobbs, and used with relative success during the 1930s. Most of its use was at Brooklands. Years later, the car was purchased by Arthur Dobson. In 1980, the Riley was treated to a restoration, bringing it back to its original two-seat sports car configuration. It is painted in dark red with brown upholstery.

Though the restoration was to MPH specifications, a number of Dobbs lightweight racing parts remain, including Bowden cable operated brakes, alloy steering box and column, alloy rear-axle components, forged eye springs and a special pedal cluster.

During the last two decades, the car has continued to add to its racing resume, competing in many events including Mille Miglia Storica three times, the California Classic Rally, the Colorado Grand, the Coppa Dolomiti, the 1988-1994 Nurburgring Invitational Race, the 1992 Historic Festival at Silverstone, and the 1989 Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nurburginrg, where it took 2nd in class.

In 2008, this Riley MPH was brought to the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, CA. It was estimated to sell for $275,000-$350,000. The lot was sold for $308,000, including buyer's premium.

1934 Riley MPH 1934 Riley MPH 1934 Riley MPH Roadster
Riley, like many other Coventry, England firms, began as a builder of bicycles starting in 1898, later producing motorized tricycles or tricars until 1907. The firm went on to become one of the most respected manufacturers of British sporting cars, continuing production until the autumn of 1969. Three sports models were made in 1930. The first of which to appear was the 9 horsepower Imp, then the short-lived six-cylinder MPH, and finally, the Nine. Just 16 1728cc/15 HP 6-cylinder MPHs were built. Riley was quite successful in competition, too, with successive wins in the BRDC 500-mile race at Brooklands 1934-35-36.

Originally sold in Switzerland, this Riley was raced by its first owner prior to World War II. It was sold around 1950 to its second owner, then to its third owner, Mr. Robert Lutz, in 1963. Mr. Lutz had the car restored in Great Britain in 1971 and remained the owner of the car until December 2012 when it was purchased by its current owner.

By Daniel Vaughan | Jun 2014
The Riley MPH was introduced in 1934 and was based on the Riley IMP. The prototype MPH car was given a six-cylinder engine and mounted on an earlier T.T. chassis. It was clothed in aluminum bodywork similar to the contemporary Alfa Romeos. It was entered in the 1934 Scottish Rally and proved to be a capable contender.

The production versions of the MPH soon followed. They were available with a choice of engines, initially the 12/6 and the 14/6 and later the 12/6 and the 15/6. They were a dynamic vehicle that had stunning looks, impressive performance, innovative design, and even finished 2nd and 3rd at LeMans in 1934.

Today, there are around 20 examples of the Riley IMP still in existence.

Risk diagram (PDPC) - Template

"Process Decision Program Chart (PDPC).
A useful way of planning is to break down tasks into a hierarchy, using a tree diagram. The PDPC extends the tree diagram a couple of levels to identify risks and countermeasures for the bottom level tasks. Different shaped boxes are used to highlight risks and identify possible countermeasures (often shown as 'clouds' to indicate their uncertain nature). The PDPC is similar to the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in that both identify risks, consequences of failure, and contingency actions; the FMEA also rates relative risk levels for each potential failure point." [Seven Management and Planning Tools. Wikipedia]
The Risk diagram (process decision program chart, PDPC) determines the risks when corrective action is not performed correctly. Also, it helps develop descriptions for preventive actions at the level of execution.
The Risk diagram (PDPC) template for the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software is included in the solution "Seven Management and Planning Tools" from the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. Read more

Affinity Diagram

The Affinity Diagram, also known as a KJ diagram, is a business tool invented for organization the large quantity of ideas and data. It is a part of Seven Management and Planning Tools, it is usually used right after brainstorming to sort large numbers of ideas into the corresponding groups. The Affinity Diagram helps to represent in a better way the structure of large and complex factors which influence on a problem, divides these factors into the smaller and simpler structures, and helps team members to see the patterns and identify possible solutions to problems they have. The diagrams of this type don't show the causal relationships between the factors, but they are designed to prepare the data for holding further analysis of the cause-effect relationships. Another area of Affinity Diagram usage is contextual inquiry as a way to sort observations and notes from field interviews, support call logs, open-ended survey responses organizing, etc. ConceptDraw MINDMAP software offers you the tools for easy holding brainstorming, generation ideas and creation MINDMAP Affinity Diagram.

Products for Car / Van / 4x4

From best in braking to zero accidents.

What you should know about storage of your tires?

If stored in unfavourable conditions, or if not properly handled, tires change their physical properties. This can lead to a shorter service life, and the tires may even deteriorate to the extent that they become unusable. Correctly stored and handled tires retain their properties virtually unchanged for several years.

Tires should never be stored in the open air, even under a protective covering.

Tires should be stored in a cool, dry area, moderately ventilated and away from direct sunlight.

Storage temperature must not exceed normal room temperature. In heated areas the tires must be shielded from the heat source.

The tires must be protected from direct sunlight and continuous changes of air. As ozone is particularly damaging, to tires the storage area must not contain any devices ( electric generators or compressors) that generate ozone.

Solvents, fuels, lubricants, chemicals etc. should not come into contact with tires.

More evidence of increased capital equipment spending foreseen

Major indices and order numbers point to a robust market for manufacturing equipment.

By Steve Kuehn, Managing Editor

as the market really returned for machine tools and other capital equipment? Recent announcements from key industry organizations regarding capital equipment spending and economic activity in the U.S. manufacturing sector all seem to indicate that it has, and will continue for at least the next six months.

Most recently, the Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and the American Machine Tool Distributors' Assn. (AMTDA) August 2004 figures for U.S. machine tool consumption totaled nearly $223 million—a figure up 6.4% from July and up 54% from the $146 million figure reported for August 2003. With a year-to-date total of $1.779 billion, 2004 is up 38.4% compared with 2003.

"With machine-tool consumption up 38.4% for the year, this reinforces the results seen at IMTS," declared John Byrd, AMT President. "Exhibitors at IMTS didn't need numbers to tell them that a capital investment recovery is underway. They came away from the show with orders and with a renewed optimism about the growing manufacturing revival."

The United States Machine Tool Consumption (USMTC) report, jointly compiled AMT and AMTDA, provides regional and national U.S. consumption data of domestic and imported machine tools and related equipment.

Manufacturers Alliance Reports Expansion
The manufacturing expansion is expected to continue over the next couple of quarters, according to the quarterly Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI Survey on the Business Outlook. The September 2004 composite index of 75, while retrenching slightly from an all-time high of 80 in June 2004, nevertheless signals strength in the manufacturing sector and remains high relative to its historical trend over the past 13 years.

&ldquoOverall, the business outlook indices are high in absolute terms and point to continued expansion of manufacturing sector activity,&rdquo said Daniel Meckstroth, chief economist for the Manufacturers Alliance/MAPI. &ldquoWhile the pace of growth may have slowed in the third quarter, the survey shows that the manufacturing expansion is broadly based, with most industries growing, and has a solid foundation of rising domestic and foreign demand.&rdquo

Capital Investment Rising
Of particular note to machine builders and automation suppliers is the Alliance&rsquos upbeat assessment of capital spending plans. The investment index question asked executives how capital investment in 2005 would compare to investment in 2004. The index improved to 69% in this survey from 64 % in September 2003. This relative optimism suggests continued expansion of investment spending next year.

According to the Alliance, the survey reflects the views on current and future business conditions of 62 senior financial executives representing a broad range of manufacturing industries. While a variety of indices are included in the survey, the business outlook index is a weighted sum of shipments, backlogs, inventories, and profit margin indexes. A composite business index above 50 indicates that overall manufacturing activity is expected to increase over the next three months. It should be noted, however, that the index measures the direction of change rather than the absolute strength of activity in manufacturing.

Supply Executives Chime In
In the latest Manufacturing ISM Report On Business released October 1, economic activity in the manufacturing sector during September grew for the 16th consecutive month, while the overall economy grew for the 35th consecutive month.

The report issued by Norbert J. Ore, C.P.M., chair of the Institute for Supply Management Manufacturing Business Survey Committee and group director, strategic sourcing and procurement, Georgia-Pacific Corporation. "The manufacturing sector continued to grow during September, but at a slightly slower rate. Both new orders and production remain strong, and employment growth accelerated."

ISM's PMI registered 58.5% in September, a decrease of 0.5 percentage point when compared to 59% in August. ISM's New Orders Index declined 3.1 points from 61.2% in August to 58.1% in September. ISM's Production Index increased 2.1 points from 59.5% in August to 61.6% in September. The ISM Employment Index is at 58.1% for September, an increase of 2.4 points when compared to the 55.7% reported in August.

Comments from respondents were typical of a growing manufacturing sector said ISM. Concerns range from problems with product launches to seasonal issues and strikes.

Florida&rsquos hurricanes caused problems for some businesses while others saw a pickup in demand. The employment picture is improving according to the respondents as they mention both blue-collar and white-collar new hires. The growth in inventories appears to be voluntary as companies build inventories for "stocking of finished goods for resale," for "hedging against price increases," and, as one member responded simply, "more business, more inventory."

The PMI indicates that the manufacturing economy grew in September for the 16th consecutive month. The PMI for September registered 58.5%, a 0.5 point decrease when compared to the August reading of 59%. A reading above 50% indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding; below 50% indicates that it is generally contracting.

"September was surprisingly strong given the recent slowing of growth in new orders. Production and employment were particularly encouraging as both indexes increased when compared to August. Any concern over inventory growth would seem to be offset by the decline in customer inventories," said Ore.

In September, 15 industries reported growth including Glass, Stone & Aggregate; Rubber & Plastic Products; Industrial & Commercial Equipment & Computers; Tobacco; Apparel; Transportation & Equipment; Chemicals; Food; Wood & Wood Products; Electronic Components & Equipment; Printing & Publishing; Instruments & Photographic Equipment; Paper; and Fabricated Metals.

PMI in excess of 42.8%, over a period of time, generally indicates an expansion of the overall economy. The September PMI indicates that both the overall economy and the manufacturing sector are growing. The past relationship between the PMI and the overall economy indicates that the average PMI for January through September (61.5%) corresponds to a 6.8% increase in real gross domestic product (GDP). In addition, if the PMI for September (58.5%) is annualized, this corresponds to a 5.7% increase in GDP.

At Controlled Fluidics, our polishing technology is second to none. Regardless of the process used, we ensure that each plastic part with optical finish is made to specifications and beyond expectation.

The Controlled Fluidics proprietary fast plastic machining technologies render plastics extremely optically clear. Manifolds or regular machined plastic components turn out equally dazzling and optically functional!

Plastic has significant advantages over other materials, such as glass and quartz, for optical finishing. Plastics weigh less, are durable and heat-resistant, and can take a polish just as brilliantly as traditional materials do. When optimal clarity and a smooth, clean finish are part of your production goals, we can deliver precision plastic polishing fast!

Optical clarity can be achieved with Controlled Fluidics methodologies. No single plastic polishing technique fits every application. We are skilled at choosing the best polishing solution for your part. Polishing, especially of amorphous plastics, increases surface stress on plastic products. Surface stress management is a critically important part of the plastic polishing process. Our polishing processes mitigate polishing-induced surface stress, providing high-quality, plastic components that meet customer requirements. Plastic polishing methods used at Controlled Fluidics are:

A traditional polishing method which works on all types of plastics, smoothing the surface. Actual clarity is limited by the approach (cotton cloth abrading the surface, with thousands of multi-directional scratches). Good for large flat pieces with limited holes and projections.

Flame Polishing

A polishing approach utilizing a hot flame to treat plastic surfaces providing a visually clear surface for some plastics. Operator dependent, some surface waviness is to be expected. Ability to internally polish is limited to larger features at or near the surface for this method.

Optical Machining

A plastic machining method utilizing special tooling and equipment for true optical results. Finishes are measured for form and roughness. This method produces the finest finish on most plastics (100 angstroms roughness is typical).

Vapor Polishing

A polishing method for clear plastics only (such as polycarbonate, Ultem®, polysulfone, and acrylic). Produces a good result for see-through applications. Capable of polishing internal features (such as threads and bores). Not effective on semi-crystalline materials.

Going through the polishing process transforms common materials into extremely optically clear building blocks optimized for any project that relies on transparency. When selecting materials for a project that will require polishing, you can use the list below to narrow your options. Any of these materials will be excellent options for polishing projects.

Polished Acrylic

Although general purpose grade cast acrylic polished parts will block UV wavelengths up to 360 NM, consider UVT grade for any application requiring transmittance of 280 NM and above. Polishing of acrylic allows for many novel edge lighting approaches, including the possibility of total internal reflection.

Polished Acrylic components are the most common clear parts. In addition to being relatively scratch resistant in comparison to other amorphous plastics, Acrylic is also one of the least expensive materials for clear parts with the finish tint-free. It is the closest plastic substitute for window glass and can be utilized in light pipe applications. Acrylic can be polished via buffing, flame polishing, and optical machining, although polished acrylic lenses are often produced by optical machining. With a skilled machinist, drilled holes can be straight and clear, and light transmittance is near 92%.

Polished Polycarbonate

Presenting a blue or gray tint, Polycarbonate polished components are softer than acrylic, resulting in a lower scratch resistance. Conversely, polycarbonate parts have greater toughness than acrylic parts. Unlike acrylic, polycarbonate is available as a USP class VI medical grade material, commonly used in medical devices with blood flow or skin contact. Polycarbonate has a max service temperature of 225F, good resistance to chemicals used in cleaning instruments, and is polished via vapor polishing or optical machining.

Polycarbonate is available in colors and a window grade (no tint) resin. Car headlights covers, in particular, benefit from polycarbonate’s combination of clarity, high impact resistance, and low cost. It's important to note that polycarbonate is not UV resistant and requires an addition of a UV stabilizer to avoid yellowing. Any polished polycarbonate medical components that require FDA or USP class VI certification use a non-UV stabilized material. Although polycarbonate costs more than acrylic, it costs considerably less than higher performance material like Ultem, making it an excellent choice for many projects.

Polished Ultem

Dark amber in color, Ultem components are polished via vapor polishing or optical machining. Due to their best in class continuous service temperature of 330F and their high resistivity, Ultem finds uses as insulators and in other electrical devices. Ultem is UV resistant and will not degrade under exposure. It is tolerant of steam sterilization and is available as an FDA or USP Class VI material in colors. Optical machining will provide finishes below one microinch for optical applications, while vapor polishing will produce a surface finish of less than twelve microinches.

Ultem’s light transmittance can be reduced based on thickness. Polishing of thicker blocks (>2’’) take on a black-like appearance. Note that clear surfaces can be degraded by handling scratches.

Polished Polysulfone

Light amber in color, polished polysulfone parts are often used in hot water applications due to the material’s higher continuous service temperature of 300F. In addition, polysulfone is resistant to water absorption and can tolerate steam sterilization to 285F. Biocompatible grades are available in colors. Polysulfone parts are particularly resistant to radiation sterilization, and clear polysulfone components can be used in FDA compliant devices.

Both vapor polishing and optical machining are effective approaches to increase clarity. Clear polysulfone components can be used in FDA compliant devices, and are commonly used in sterilization trays as its clarity allows for easy inspection.

Polished Radel

Similar to Ultem, polished Radel (PPSU) is dark amber in its natural color, and standard stock colors for polishing are white and black. Radel allows for unlimited steam sterilization, but other methods including radiation, dry heat, and cold sterilization are acceptable. As a result, polished Radel components are frequently used in medical devices.

Radel responds well to vapor polishing and optical machining, and polished Radel components offer better impact and chemical resistance than Ultem and polysulfone parts. Clear Radel components do absorb light in the UV range and are unsuitable for those applications. Light transmittance for a 2mm thick clear sample is 80% with 3% haze.

Polished Polyethersulfone (PES)

Like Ultem and PPSU, polished PES is dark amber in its natural color. Vapor polishing and optical machining can achieve excellent results with a very smooth surface finish. PES has an excellent flame resistance of UL 94 V-O, and polished PES parts have a continuous service temperature of 350F. These properties, along with the material’s good dielectric constant, low loss factor, and high resistivity at temperatures above 200C make PES an excellent high temperature electrical insulating material.

Think about how much plastic packaging you buy in one trip to the grocery store. Even if you bring your own reusable carrier bags, there’s plastic on the loaf of bread, the bag of carrots, the frozen peas, the chicken breasts—it’s almost impossible to avoid it.

That’s a problem: The EPA says that in 2013 Americans threw away about 33 million tons of plastic—only a fraction of that is recycled—and that over 8 million metric tons of plastic pollution finds its way into the world’s oceans annually.

Recently, researchers at universities in Spain and Singapore found a possible solution to this problem in an unlikely material: crab, lobster and shrimp shells.

The scientists created a new food wrap made with chitosan, a natural substance that can be extracted from crustacean shells. Not only is this wrap biodegradable, it also has natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties that help food stay fresh longer.

Researchers at the National University of Singapore found that bread stayed mold-free for five days instead of three when packaged in chitosan wrap instead of plastic. With the addition of grapefruit seed extract, they could keep the bread mold-free for 10 days.

Researchers estimate that they are three to five years from being able to scale production up enough for widespread commercial use. And the cost to make the biodegradable wrap is about 30% more than plastic wrap, meaning consumers may have to be willing to pay more for cleaner oceans and a cleaner conscience.

Royal Cornwall Hospital has confirmed its position on whether it will be postponing non-urgent operations as severe winter pressures continue.

It comes as NHS England take the drastic step to try to free up hospital staff and beds across the country.

Health bosses have urged hospitals to defer day-case procedures and routine outpatient appointments until January 31 to help free up doctors for patients with the most urgent need.

The body also said the deferral of non-urgent inpatient elective care - such as hip replacements - should be extended until January 31.

The news comes after Royal Cornwall Hospital has been on Operational Pressures Escalation Level 4 (OPEL4), the highest possible level or ‘black alert’, since the week before Christmas.

At the weekend Cornwall Live reported how ambulances were queuing outside A&E unable to take their patients inside due to there being no beds available.

The scene outside the Royal Cornwall Hospital this afternoon

In a statement the hospital has confirmed that postponing non-urgent care had already been part of their long-standing winter plan.

A Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust spokesperson said: “It is usual at this time of year to minimise the number of non-urgent operations due to the expected emergency demand.

“We are sticking to our winter plan, pacing non-urgent patients appropriately and prioritising urgent care.

“It is our winter plan so started in December but we made a particular decision to minimise non-urgent operations in January as we know this is our busiest time

“People should assume their operation is taking place unless we contact them personally. We will still do some non-urgent work despite the winter pressure.

“The local community can support our hospitals by seeking advice early and choosing alternatives to A&E when possible with guidance available at”

Royal Cornwall Hospital has confirmed it will not be mixing genders on hospital wards but has said it is likely to remain on the highest alert until at least the end of this week.

Officials have estimated that the latest move by NHS England could lead to up to 55,000 deferred operations across the country.

Cancer operations and time-critical procedures should go ahead as planned, NHS England said.

NHS England hopes the measures will free up senior hospital doctors to triage more patients in A&E, be available for phone advice for GPs and ensure that patients in hospitals are reviewed twice each day to help timely discharges.

It also announced that sanctions for mixed sex accommodation breaches should be temporarily lifted.

Under NHS rules men and women are supposed to be treated on different wards and breaches can lead to fines but trusts can now breach the rules without being penalised.

The measures from the health body were announced following a meeting of its National Emergency Pressures Panel, chaired by Professor Sir Bruce Keogh.

In a statement, NHS England said that the panel discussed "sustained pressure over the Christmas period" with high levels of respiratory illness, high bed occupancy levels, signs of increased flu activity and a rise in the number of severe cases attending A&E.

Sir Bruce, NHS England national medical director, said: "I want to thank NHS staff who have worked incredibly hard under sustained pressure to take care of patients over the Christmas.

"We expect these pressures to continue and there are early signs of increased flu prevalence.

"The NHS needs to take further action to increase capacity and minimise disruptive last-minute cancellations. That is why we are making these further recommendations."

The RCEM and the Society for Acute Medicine both issued stark warnings over pressure.

Dr Nick Scriven, president of the Society for Acute Medicine, added: "The position at the moment is as bad as I've ever known.

"Pre-Christmas 43 trusts were more than 98% full despite 3,000 extra beds in use. I expect this to be at least doubled, maybe trebled today.

"We are starting to report Australasian flu is beginning to appear which is worrying. We are seeing a lot of flu-like symptoms but as yet do not know if it is 'normal' or the Australasian strain."

17 Signs You're Obsessed With K-Beauty

'Kinain ka na ng sistema.'
PHOTO: Instagram/ponysmakeup

If you're in constant denial that you've been consumed by K-beauty, check out these signs and see how many you can relate to.

1. You prefer BB creams over foundations because you want to score a dewy complexion just like all those Korean actresses in your fave K-dramas.

2. But then you progress to cushion makeup because it's the *in* thing in K-beauty.

3. Your YouTube history is dominated by Pony Makeup and Jungsaemmool.

4. You're never without a gradient lip.

5. Skincare is a really big deal for you. 12 steps? EASY!

6. That said, you know what an emulsion, essence, serum, ampoule, and sleeping mask can do for your complexion.

7. Snail mucus? Donkey milk? Bee venom? These seemingly weird ingredients are totes normal for you.

8. You believe in double-cleansing.

You use a cleansing oil before facial wash because that's the best way to get rid of dirt, oil, and leftover makeup.

9. You aren't scared to hydrate even if you've got oily skin. You know for a fact that moisture balances your skin's oil production.

10. But you're frightened of sun damage, which is why you never leave the house without SPF.

11. Your weekends are reserved for sheet-masking.

12. You stalk Korean dramas to find out the exact products the characters used. Case in point: The Body Shop's White Musk from Goblin!

13. You probably sport baby bangs now.

14. And you prefer to draw straight brows.

15. You can't remember the last time you actually went for a matte look.

16. Also, you live for highlighters and carefully placed blush.

17. Naturally, your stash is dominated by Korean beauty brands.

Because K-beauty is LIFE!

Dapper Dudes Don Their Best At The Preview Ball

Check out the handsome men who graced the Preview Best Dressed Ball in dinner jackets, debonair bowties, and referee duds. (Seriously.)

Stylish stars and fashionphiles weren’t the only ones who flocked to the Preview Best Dressed Ball, which took place last July 7 at 7th High in Bonifacio High Street. Hunky guys, including Fabio Ide, Callum David, Christian Bautista, Victor Basa, and Solenn Heussaff's beau, Nico Bolzico, also hit the club suavely garbed in button-down shirts and dinner jackets. While the girls that evening did their best to outdo each other in colorful, athletic-inspired outfits, the guys played it cool and dressed their best for a night of fun and dancing.

Most of the gentlemen present had on their dinner jackets to add some polish to their usual tee-and-jeans combo, but other guys decided to do a little more with debonair bowties and ascots. Among the hotties we snapped, only July Man on Fire Adrien Semblat dared to follow the soiree's athletic chic theme to the letter. Oh, how we love a man with a cheeky sense of humor.

14 Great Things About Being A Bridesmaid

Cute groomsmen.
PHOTO: Bridesmaids/Universal Pictures

1. Being chosen to be a bridesmaid in the first place.

It's a great honor to be offered a huge role in a friend’s wedding; it means she values your friendship so much that she would trust you to be there for her on one of the most important days of her life.

2. Making new friends among the wedding party.

Since your engaged friend is already pals with these folks, it’s no stretch to assume that you’ll get along with them, too. YES TO ALL OF THE FRIENDSHIPS!

3. All the get-togethers with the bride and your fellow bridesmaids.

The dress fittings, the bridal shower, the rehearsals, and all the meetings in between—it can get stressful having to devote so much time to your role as a bridesmaid, but hey, you get to hang out and swap gossip with some of your favorite people on earth! What's not to love?

4. Just being able to help the bride in her time of need.

Whether it's by accompanying her to meetings with suppliers or volunteering to design the invites for free, you get to help ease her worries and keep bridezilla at bay.

5. Bachelorette parties.

Nothing brings girlfriends closer together than shared titillation at a bachelorette party. As they say, what happens at the bachelorette party, stays at the bachelorette party! *wink* (Although you’ll all obviously talk about the male stripper with the huge package and the cheesy dance moves for days to come.)

6. Bridesmaid dresses that actually look good on you.

Bridesmaid dresses have earned a bad rap for being unflattering contraptions that no sane person would ever wear again. But then there are those bridesmaid dresses that look thebombdotcom once worn, you’ll feel like the heavens had opened up and the angels had smiled down on you.

Continue reading below ↓

7. Getting your hair and makeup done on wedding day.

Whatever the occasion is, it’s always a treat to sit back and be dolled up by the pros. (As long as they don't get so carried away, you barely recognize the person staring back at you in the mirror.)

8. Being the center of attention at the wedding (after the bride and groom, of course.)

Step aside, mere mortals in department store-bought clothes. Bridesmaid in sexy dress and fab makeup coming through.

9. Cute groomsmen in formalwear.

And when that cutie’s paired up with you for the wedding processional, it’s enough to make you believe in ~destiny~.

10. Prime seats at the wedding ceremony.

With the bridesmaids seated so close to the altar, you get a great view of the bride and groom fighting back tears and snot through their wedding vows. So sweet.

11. The all-out walwalan at the reception.

After months of helping the bride plan the perfect wedding and an entire day of struggling to breathe in your tight bustier dress, you earn the right to down shots, kick off your heels, and dance to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off." Enjoy it.

12. Being able to observe a wedding closely and visualize how you'd plan your own nuptials.

Serving as bridesmaid is great preparation for anyone who wants to walk down the aisle as bride eventually. You get to assess how your friend handled her wedding and decide for yourself whether you’d like a large wedding or an intimate one, whether to get a live band or a DJ for the reception, and whether or not to hire a male stripper for your own bachelorette party, because damn, that night was cray!

13. The chance to get to know your friends better after spending all that time together.

Continue reading below ↓

All the moments you shared with the bride and your fellow bridesmaids—not to mention all the unspeakable things you found out about each other at the bachelorette party—will surely make you a closer bunch. Aww, group hug!

14. When the wedding photos come out and you look fantastic in them.

This only means one thing: Time for a Facebook profile picture change!

AdU Courtside Reporter: Mich Del Carmen

Q&A with Adamson's Mich Del Carmen

Age: 21
School: DLSU, reporting for Adamson University
Year & Course: 4th Year, BS Marketing Management

1. Why did you choose to become a courtside reporter?
"Playing sports has been my passion since I was 9 years old. Volleyball was my first love; I played basketball for my alma mater; cheer dancing let me share my passion for dancing and showcasing my loud voice. Once I found out about the courtside reporting auditions via a TV commercial, I didn’t really hesitate to audition. Although I never had any experience in broadcasting, I told myself, 'Siguro kaya ko naman. Kaya ko namang magsalita nang maayos kasi knowledgeable naman ako sa major events na ire-report ko if ever, and I had training in public speaking from my school organizations, such as the University Student Government. Sige, I’ll give it a shot.'"

2. What's the best part about your job?
"I think the best part is that you really get to be trained by 'legendary' people, like Boom Gonzalez, who are very successful in their field of work. It’s truly inspiring, and you’ll really grow as a reporter. Even if my course is not related to broadcasting, I’m now more [inclined] to take that line of work in the future."

3. What's the most challenging part about your job?
"I believe it’s really making sure that you consistently deliver a unique and substantial report all the time. Sinasabi ko lagi sa sarili ko na dapat hindi boring 'yan at kailangan madali maintindihan ng mga tao, English man yan or Tagalog."

4. How do you balance your duties as a courtside reporter and student?
"In grade school, when I would give excuses to my parents for not doing chores because of all my schoolwork and student council duties, they would tell me that time management is just the solution to it. I've been following their advice ever since, and I guess it works. It’s also very handy to always have a small planner with all your deadlines and to-dos listed down."

5. Any UAAP crushes?
"N… [Laughs] Secret!"

Continue reading below ↓

6. What advice can you give to students who want to be courtside reporters in the future?
"Love what you’ll be doing—reporting for sports. Also, it’s important to polish your knowledge in sports because spectators, especially UAAP fans, are smart. They will know if you understand what you’re saying or if you’re merely bluffing."

7. Describe your personal everyday/campus style. What tips can you give to freshmen on how to dress for school?
"When choosing clothes, you have to ask yourself, 'Will I still be respected if I wear this outfit in a school setting?' Also, research says that if you’re comfortable in the clothes you wear, it will be easier for you to understand the lessons being taught in class. So respect and comfort are two things I marry when dressing up for school."

8. Name one thing every college student should invest in.
"Experience. It’s your transition from childhood to adulthood, so don’t be afraid to try new things, make mistakes, and take responsibility for your actions."

Australian Doctors Filed First On Patent For Papillomavirus Vaccine

    WASHINGTON (CN) – Two Australian doctors applied to patent a vaccine for the human papillomavirus before doctors at an American university, the Federal Circuit ruled.
Ian Frazer and Jian Zhou from the University of Queensland claimed that in 1991 they prepared “virus-like particles” that mimicked the papillomavirus but lacked its ability to cause cervical cancer and other diseases. They reported their vaccine in a scientific article, presented it at a Seattle workshop and applied for a patent in Australia. A year later, two doctors at Georgetown University Medical fil

A Coventry dad is looking forward to an emotional first meeting with the woman whose life he saved through bone marrow donation seven years ago.

Gil Lewis had been on the Anthony Nolan bone marrow register for 20 years before he received a life-changing letter from the charity.

It said the 48-year-old dad, of Second Avenue, Copsewood, was a potential match for a young woman in desperate need of a transplant.

After further tests he was found to be a 100 per cent match for the woman, who was suffering from blood cancer Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

There was never any question he would agree to the procedure – Gil had been just 21 when he joined the register after a friend was diagnosed with cancer.

Gil had bone marrow extracted in September 2007 at a Harley Street clinic in London.

But it came as a big surprise last June when Anthony Nolan called wanting to know whether he would be happy to be contacted by the recipient.

“I gave them my contact details then forgot about it,” said Gil, who works at the George Fischer distribution centre in Walsgrave. “I wasn’t sure whether it would happen because it’s such a big thing.

“Then I received an email from her and it said, ‘I can’t find the words to thank you for saving my life’.”

His recipient was Hannah Watterson, 31, of Canterbury. They exchanged messages on Facebook and have agreed to meet for the first time in Coventry in a few weeks.

He added: “I’m just happy that she got better. People say I saved her life, but to me it’s no big deal. After 20 years on the register, it was worthwhile to donate and it’s been made even better by the fact I am going to meet my recipient.”

About 1,800 people in the UK need a bone marrow or stem cell transplant each year and Gil, who has run the London Marathon for Anthony Nolan, urges everyone to join the register.

Ann O’Leary, from the Anthony Nolan charity, said: “Gil’s bone marrow donation was an incredible and selfless act.

“Gil is now able to get in contact with Hannah and can see the amazing difference that he has made – he has saved Hannah’s life.

“What many people don’t realise is how simple donating bone marrow is; as Gil found, it’s usually a similar procedure to donating blood.”

LEAMINGTON's Naomi Folkard dominated the Junior National Archery Championships held at Lilleshall.

Seventeen-year-old Naomi is now ranked Great Britain's No.1 senior lady after finishing seventh in the recent Senior World Indoor Championships.

This weekend sees her contesting the Junior Europa Cup in Czechoslovakia and her last competition as a junior follows in the Junior European Chammpionships to be held in Croatia next month.

Then follows a trip to Beijing in September as a member of the GB team to shoot at the Senior World Championships.

At Lilleshall she underlined her class with another sparkling performance.

Naomi won both the main recurve ladies' events for the fourth consecutive year.

She claimed the GNAS Rose Bowl, finishing with 1250 for the FITA round (12 dozen arrows, 3 dozen at each of 70, 60, 50 and 30m). She also won the Quicks Trophy for the highest FITA of the day (boy or girl).

Then, after a poor start for the first dozen arrows, she streaked ahead to finish on a superb 1200 for the ladies' Hereford (6 dozen arrows at 80yds, 4 dozen at 60yds and 2 dozen at 50 yds) to win the Simon Goblet.

Naomi was also presented, for the second year running, with the Junior Award Scheme Trophy for the best overall performance by a junior during 2000. She amassed a huge total of 6225 points - her nearest rival gained 2652.

This will be Naomi's last year shooting as a junior, but the other Leamington juniors showed great promise for the future.

Eight-year-old Alex Leide, who only started shooting last September shot superbly, and showed considerable maturity.

He secured the silver medal in the under-9 age group (30, 20, 15 and 10m), but on Sunday after a very closely fought battle he won gold with 1143 for the Bristol V round (20,15 and 10 yds).

Fifteen-year-old Daniel Mee, another recent recruit, shot a personal best score on Sunday, 1006 for the Bristol II (60, 50 and 40 yards), and so earned his 1000 rose award.

Other Warwickshire archers participating were Katie and Karl Lowe (Meriden), Katie, finishing on 1000.
