Anusasana Parva
Created by Jijith Nadumuri at 02 Apr 2010 10:29 and updated at 02 Apr 2010 10:29
MAHABHARATA, BOOK 13: ANUSASANA PARVA
LXVIII Yudhishthira said, Do thou discourse to me once again, O grandsire, upon the merits attaching to gifts of sesame and of lamps for lighting darkness, as also of food and robes' Bhishma said, In this connection, O Yudhishthira, is recited the narrative of the discourse that took place in ancient times between a Brahmana and Yama.
In the country lying between the rivers Ganga and Yamuna, at the foot of the hills called Yamuna, there was a large town inhabited by Brahmanas. The town was celebrated under the name of Parnasala and was very delightful in appearance, O king. A large number of learned Brahmanas lived in it. One day, Yama, the ruler of the dead, commanded a messenger of his, who was clad in black, endued with blood-red eyes and hair standing erect, and possessed of feet, eyes, and nose all of which resembled those of a crow, saying, Go thou to the town inhabited by Brahmanas and bring hither the person known by the name of Sarmin and belonging by birth to the race of Agastya. He is intent on mental tranquillity and possessed of learning. He is a preceptor engaged in teaching the Vedas and his practices are well-known. Do not bring me another person belonging to the same race and living in the same neighbourhood. This other man is equal unto him I want, in virtues, study, and birth. With respect to children and conduct, this other resembles the intelligent Sarmin. Do thou bring the individual I have in view.
He should be worshipped with respect instead of being dragged hither with irreverence' The messenger having come to the place, did the very reverse of what he had been bidden to do. Attacking that person, he brought him who had been forbidden by Yama to be brought. Possessed of great energy, Yama rose up at the sight of the Brahmana and worshipped him duly. The king of the dead then commanded his messenger, saying, Let this one be taken back, and let the other one be brought to me' When the great judge of the dead said these words, that Brahmana addressed him and said, I have completed my study of the Vedas and am no longer attached to the world. Whatever period may yet remain of my mortal existence, I wish to pass, dwelling even here, O thou of unfading glory Yama said, I cannot ascertain the exact period, ordained by Time, of one's life, and hence, unurged by Time, I cannot allow one to take up one's residence here. I take note of the acts of righteousness or otherwise that one does in the world. Do thou, O learned Brahmana of great splendour return immediately to thy abode.
I ell me what also is in thy mind and what I can do for thee, O thou of unfading glory' The Brahmana said, Do thou tell me what those acts are by accomplishing which one may earn great merit. O best of all beings, thou art the foremost of authorities on the subject even in the three worlds' Yama said, Do thou hear, O regenerate Rishi, the excellent ordinances regarding gifts. The gift of sesame seeds is a very superior one. It produces everlasting merit. O foremost of regenerate ones, one should make gifts of as much sesame as one can. By making gifts of sesame every day, one is sure to attain the fruition of one's every wish. The gift of sesame at Sraddhas is applauded. Verily the gift of sesame is a very superior one.
Do thou make gifts of sesame unto the Brahmanas according to the rites ordained in the scriptures. One should on the day of the full moon of the month of Vaisakha, make gilts of sesame unto the Brahmanas. They should also be made to eat and to touch sesame on every occasion that one can afford. They that are desirous of achieving what is beneficial to them should, with their whole souls, do this in their houses Without doubt, men should similarly make gifts of water and establish resting places for the distribution of drinking water One should cause tanks and lakes and wells to be excavated. Such acts are rare in the world, O best of regenerate persons! Do thou always make gifts of water. This act is fraught with great merit. O best of regenerate persons, thou shouldst establish resting places along the roads for the distribution of water.
After one has eaten, the gift unto one should especially be made of water for drink' Bhishma continued, After Yama had said these words unto him, the messenger who had borne him from his abode conveyed him back to it. The Brahmana, on his return, obeyed the instructions he had received. Having thus conveyed him back to his abode the messenger of Yama fetched Sarmin who had really been sought by Yama. Taking Sarmin unto him, he informed his master. Possessed of great energy, the judge of the dead worshipped that righteous Brahmana, and having conversed with him a while dismissed him for being taken back to his abode. Unto him also Yama gave the same instructions. Sarmin, too, coming back into the world of men, did all that Yama had said. Like the gift of water, Yama, from a desire of doing good to the Pitris, applauds the gift of lamps to light dark places. Hence, the giver of a lamp for lighting a dark place is regarded as benefiting the Pitris.
Hence, O best of the Bharatas, one should always give lamps for lighting dark spots. The giving of lamps enhances the visual power of the deities, the Pitris, and one's own self It has been said, O king, that the gift of gems is a very superior gift. The Brahmana, who, having accepted a gift of gems, sells the same for performing a sacrifice, incurs no fault. The Brahmana, who, having accepted a gift of gems makes a gift of them unto Brahmanas. acquires inexhaustible merit himself and confers inexhaustible merit upon him from whom he had originally received them. Conversant with every duty Manu himself has said that he, who, observant of proper restraints, earns makes a gift of gems unto a Brahmana observant of proper restraints earns inexhaustible merit himself and confers inexhaustible merit upon the recipient. The man who is content with his own wedded wife and who makes a gift of robes, earns an excellent complexion and excellent vestments for himself. I have told thee, O foremost of men, what the merits are that attach to gifts of kine, of gold, and the sesame agreeably to deserve precepts of the Vedas and the scriptures One should marry and raise offspring upon one's wedded wives. Of all acquisitions, O son of Kuru's race, that of male issue is regarded as the foremost

YALE COLLEGE ART MAJOR
Director of Undergraduate Studies: Lisa Kereszi
Yale College, the undergraduate division of Yale University, offers a Bachelor of Arts degree program with a major in art. Undergraduate applicants wishing to major in art at Yale must apply to Yale College directly. Please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, PO Box 208234, 38 Hillhouse Avenue, New Haven CT 06520-8234, 203.432.9300 (www.yalecollege.yale.edu).
The program in art offers courses that, through work in a variety of media, provide an experience in the visual arts as part of a liberal education as well as preparation for graduate study and professional work. Courses at the 100 level stress the fundamental aspects of visual formulation and articulation. Courses numbered 200 through 499 offer increasingly intensive study leading to greater specialization in one or more of the visual disciplines such as graphic design, painting/printmaking, photography, and sculpture.
The prerequisites for acceptance into the major are a Sophomore Review, which is an evaluation of work from studio courses taken at Yale School of Art, and five terms of introductory (100-level) courses. Four must be completed at the time of the Sophomore Review. Visual Thinking (Art 111a or b) and Basic Drawing (Art 114a or b) are mandatory. In exceptional cases, arrangements for a special review during the junior year may be made with the director of undergraduate studies in art.
For graduation as an art major, a total of fourteen (14) course credits in the major field is required. These fourteen course credits must include the following: (1) five prerequisite courses at the 100 level (including Visual Thinking and Basic Drawing); (2) four 200-level and above courses; (3) the Junior Major Seminar (Art 395a) or Critical Theory in the Studio (Art 201b); (4) the Senior Project (Art 495 and 496); and (5) two courses in the History of Art. Suggested program guidelines and specific requirements for the various areas of concentration are available from the director of undergraduate studies. A suggested program guideline is as follows:
Freshman year Studio courses, two terms Sophomore year Studio courses, three terms Art history, one term Junior year Studio courses, three terms including the Junior Major Seminar and/or Critical Theory Art history, one term Senior year Studio courses, four terms including the Senior Project

Graduate courses may be elected by advanced undergraduate art majors who have completed all undergraduate courses in a particular area of study and who have permission of the director of undergraduate studies as well as the course instructor.
Undergraduates are normally limited to credit for four terms of graduate- or professional-level courses (courses numbered 500 and above). Please refer to the section on Academic Regulations in Yale College Programs of Study for further pertinent details.

GOALS OF THE MAJOR
Students in this major will:
· Develop an understanding of the visual arts through a studio-based curriculum
· Apply fundamentals of art across a variety of media and disciplines
· Relate the practice of making art to the fields of art history and theory
· Gain a high level of mastery of at least one artistic discipline
Undergraduate studio courses are numbered 100 – 499 and can be found at http://art.yale.edu/Courses.

APPLYING TO STUDIO ART COURSES
Please do not pre-register for studio art courses in which the permission of the instructor is required. Students MUST attend the very first class meeting, in most cases, to be considered for admission to a given class, as art courses are often over-subscribed, especially at the introductory level. Space is limited, and faculty make selections based on individual criteria after course cards are filled out.

INDEPENDENT PROJECT GUIDELINES
Art majors or serious art students wishing to enroll in Art 471/472 must read the following guidelines before embarking on an Independent Project in Art. The course is a Pass/Fail, one credit, self-designed, one-on-one semester of independent work that could not ordinarily be accomplished within existing courses offered. If there is an advanced-level course in the area of interest that could accommodate the student’s project, he/she/they should enroll in that course instead. The project should be designed by the student in conjunction with the participation of a School of Art faculty member. The student is responsible for approaching faculty with ample notice, writing the proposal, and securing the signatures. Please note that not all faculty will be able to agree to this extra advising outside of their regular responsibilities, especially in the Spring semester, when many of them are advising seniors on their thesis projects. Art majors are preferred for these types of projects. A course proposal must be submitted on the appropriate form (obtained in room 122 or by emailing art.dus@yale.edu) for approval by the Director of Undergraduate Studies only after the faculty advisor has already agreed and signed off. Form should be turned back in to rm 122 by the end of the shopping period with both signatures, and only afterwards, the student should register for the course online with his/her/their regular schedule. Expectations of the course include regular meetings, end-of-term critique, and a written evaluation. A reading list and written assignments may be necessary, depending on the nature of the research. The course counts towards the major, and may be re-taken for credit at the discretion of the DUS. Since the course is P/F, it does not count in the calculation for Distinction in the Major.
MANAGING COURSE COSTS
Many students on financial aid have available funds at the beginning of the year, but they must take action to access these funds. Students may email scott.wallace-juedes@yale.edu in Financial Aid for advice on what funds they may have which could be applied toward these costs.
Many Art courses carry a course fee. Course fees are listed in the course descriptions at https://courses.yale.edu/ Creative and Performing Arts funds may NOT be used to cover course fees. The university considers art course fees in the same category as textbook costs in other fields. These costs are considered when Yale calculates a student’s financial aid. This is a curricular expense and low-income students may apply for safety net assistance. Not all students will receive assistance, but these applications help document how many students are affected by these fees.
Art Course materials In some cases, there are costs above and beyond the course fee, including materials costs.
Students who are interested in exhibiting their course work at the end of the semester in a college gallery may apply for Creative and Performing Arts Awards (CPA) to cover materials costs associated with an art course. CPA awards are only available to support work to be exhibited. Most CPA application requests are granted. Low-income students who do not wish to exhibit their work may apply for safety net assistance. Not all students will receive assistance, but these applications help document how many students are affected by these fees.
Creative and Performing Arts Awards and Safety Net funds are NOT available to support any camera purchases, but there are limited cameras available for loan to students enrolled in film/video/photography courses.

BLAIR DICKINSON MEMORIAL PRIZE
The Blair Dickinson Memorial Prize shall be awarded at Commencement by the Yale School of Art to an undergraduate or graduate woman who has pursued studio art courses in the School including: graphic design, drawing, painting, photography, film-making, printmaking, sculpture, and video. The prize is open to graduating MFA students and art major BA students. The prize seeks to encourage the woman whose whole person demonstrates a developing consciousness, a personal vision, and a spirit of search, regardless of whether she has evolved a concrete realization of that vision; a woman who shows promise of fulfilling Blair Dickinson’s (Yale College Class of 1974) concept of an artist as suggested by this passage from her journal: “Ability to find spiritually rich occurrences in the world. Observer. Critic. Isolator. One who points to a moment and reveals its importance. Ability to cross over between areas of thought and to ascend and descend.”
THE LOHMANN AND VAN SINDEREN PRIZES FOR UNDERGRADUATE PRINTING AND DESIGN
The Lohmann & Van Sinderen Prizes for Excellence in Undergraduate Printing and Design aim to recognize and celebrate the broad range of interest in planning, craft, and invention that gives undergraduate design and printing at Yale its singular character. The judges are eager to see printed work of all kinds in order to reward skill, discipline, and imagination. These prizes were established in 1967 in honor of Carl C. Lohmann, Class of 1910, founding member of the honorable company of college printers, lifelong typophile, and secretary of the University from 1927 to 1953. Since 2015, they have been supported by the Adrian Van Sinderen Book Collecting Prize fund.
Eligible pieces must have been planned and executed in the past academic year by a current Yale undergraduate. They may include publications and ephemera, class assignments, and self-initiated publishing projects. Professional studio work will not be considered, nor will printmaking projects, per se. Entries can be made by both digital and traditional methods, although final renditions cannot be screen-based.

FIFTH YEAR FELLOWSHIP IN STUDIO ART AT TRINITY COLLEGE
Announcement of the Hilla Rebay Postbaccalaureate Fellowship Program (formerly the Fifth-Year Fellowship Program) for 2016-2017 Academic Year Studio Arts Program Trinity College Hartford CT 06106
The Hilla Rebay Postbaccalaureate Fellowship of the Studio Arts Program at Trinity College is designed to provide space to work, time, and a supportive arts community so talented individuals who studied studio arts at a university, art school or liberal arts college can have the extra resources they need to prepare the strongest possible portfolio in support of applications to graduate school in art.
The program allows a recent college graduate to spend a fifth year at Trinity working as an assistant for the Studio Arts Program and preparing to apply to graduate school. Fellowship recipients work a minimum of 20 hours per week. Ten hours are spent working as a general assistant for the Studio Arts Program. Beyond that, the Fellow is expected to spend another ten hours (minimum) working in the studio on his/her personal work for the graduate school admissions portfolio. This is an academic year appointment thus the work schedule coincides with the schedule of classes. Fellows receive a stipend of $8,000 and are provided a studio space on campus. Fellows must make their own living arrangements. Health benefits are included and Fellows may take one course per semester at Trinity or the consortium schools for free.
Duties and Expectations
➢ Oversight of the Senior Studio facility—the Fellow’s studio will be located here as well. Includes monitoring safety and maintenance issues, keeping track of stocked supplies, and reporting any needs or concerns on a regular basis to the program technician.
➢ Manage the events scheduled in the student gallery, oversee maintenance issues for the gallery, monitor stock of installation supplies and report regularly any needs to the program technician, and act in an advisory capacity for student shows there.
➢ Assist the program technician with installations in the Widener Gallery.
➢ Initiate and organize extracurricular events—field trips, open critique sessions, etc.
➢ In general, act as a resource and mentor to studio arts majors and all students enrolled in studio arts classes.
➢ Produce and mount an exhibition showing the Hilla Rebay Postbaccalaureate Fellow’s work created during the academic year. Exhibition takes place in the student gallery, generally after all the senior thesis exhibitions have been held.
It is not necessary to be a Trinity graduate or a studio arts major to apply for this fellowship. Any student with the appropriate level of experience and interest is eligible.
The need to pursue part-time employment in another position does not disqualify candidates so long as they are able to follow through with the commitments of the fellowship.
To apply please submit the following:
➢ A one-page application letter explaining why you are a good candidate for the fellowship and outlining your plans for graduate study.
➢ A one-page artist’s statement addressing your work and its influences.
➢ A link to an online Flickr gallery containing 15-20 images of your work (include the link in your application letter and in your artist’s statement.) Make sure your images are clear, sharp, and without glare.
➢ A list of studio arts courses and art history courses you have taken.
➢ A C.V. detailing your college experience including study abroad and any other significant formative experiences.
These materials should be submitted by March 31, 2016 (email or paper copy) to:

Appendix DDirect Marketing AdvertisingDMASA
1. Definition of direct marketing
Direct Marketing is a set of business practices designed to plan for and present an organisation's products or services in ways that build effective customer relationships.
2.1 Intent of the Code
This Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice applies to DMASA member organisations regardless of business sector, sub-discipline or direct marketing medium employed.
Its intention is to identify the ethical principles and best practices that members of the DMASA consider essential to the conduct of direct marketing and direct marketing communications activity in South Africa.
This Code does not purport to replace legal advice or provide legal guidance. Marketers should inform themselves about rele-vant laws that apply in their jurisdiction including, but not limited to, the South African Constitution and Bill of Rights, and consumer and privacy laws in South Africa. The laws that affect direct marketing in SA as identified as at May 2011 are:
The Constitution and Bill of Rights Act 108 of 1996
The Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000
The Promotion of Administrative Justice Act 3 of 2000
Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002
Electoral Act of 1998
Identification Act of 1997
Unfair Discrimination and Promotion of Equality Act of 2000
Unfair Businesses Act of 1988
The Lotteries Act 57 of 1997
National Credit Act 34 of 2005
Protection of Personal Information Bill
2.2 Consumer Marketing
This Code applies in its entirety to consumer marketing.
2.3 Business-to-Business Marketing
This Code generally applies to business-to-business marketing, with specific exemptions for those practices identified as ex-clusively relating to consumer marketing.
2.4 Not-for-Profit Organisations
This Code applies in its entirety to direct marketing activities conducted by charitable or not-for-profit organisations. The terms "consumers” or "businesses” referenced throughout this Code should be regarded as interchangeable with the more common not-for-profit sector descriptors for "donors” or supporters”. Please refer to the Consumer Protection Act for definitions www.thedti.oov.za
2.5 Organisations Marketing Internationally
Organisations selling abroad are governed by this Code unless doing so contravenes the laws of foreign jurisdictions.
2.6 Other Codes and Regulations
The DMASA Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice are intended to stand alongside codes and standards of other South African marketing, advertising and sector-specific organisations.
Marketers are also encouraged to review those guidelines refer-enced throughout the DMASA Code of Ethics.
3. Responsibility for direct marketing communications
Marketers are responsible for the content of their direct marketing communications and the practices of their suppliers and advertising agencies when in the course of executing direct marketing com-munications on their behalf. This responsibility extends to suppliers which are not DMASA members. For responsibilities of service pro-viders, please refer to Section 13 of this Code.
4. "Must” vs "should”
Throughout this Code, use of the word "must” indicates that a clause is compulsory for marketers. Use of the word "should” indicates that the clause is not compulsory but strongly encouraged as a best practice.
5. Demonstration of commitment
5.1 Annual Confirmation
DMASA members must confirm their compliance with this Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice annually.
Each member organisation has a designated Voting Member, who must sign the compliance clause on their membership application and annual renewal:
"My company/organisation agrees to comply with the DMASA Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice, to participate in DMASA's Complaint Resolution programme, and, for the pur-poses of marketing to consumers, to participate in the DMASA Do Not Contact Service”.
5.2 Supporting the Code
To demonstrate support for this Code and to actively promote widespread awareness of its principles, ethical practices and obligations, member organisations should:
ensure that employees engaged in the marketing process are familiar with its content;
prominently display their DMASA Membership plaque in their place of business; and
Include the Association logo in their marketing com-munications (see also DMASA's Guide to the Use of the DMASA Logo).
6. Overarching ethical principles
6.1 Personal Information Practices
Marketers must promote responsible and transparent personal information management practices in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Personal Information Protection and Elect-ronic Documents Act and/or applicable provincial legislation and the 8 privacy principles detailed in Section 10 of this Code.
6.2 Truthfulness
Marketing communications must be clear and truthful. Marketers must not knowingly make a representation to a consumer or business that is false or misleading.
6.3 Campaign Limitations
Marketers must not participate in any campaign involving the disparagement or exploitation of any person or group on the grounds of race, colour, ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status or age. Refer to Unfair Discrimination and Promotion of Equality Act of 2000.
Marketers must not participate in the dissemination of unsolicited material that is sexually explicit, vulgar or indecent in nature, except where required to do so by law, such as a common carrier.
Marketers must not participate in the dissemination of any material that unduly, gratuitously and without merit ex¬ploits sex, horror, mutilation, torture, cruelty, violence or hate, except where required to do so by law, such as a common carrier.
Marketers must not knowingly exploit the credulity, lack of knowledge or inexperience of any consumer, taking particular care when dealing with vulnerable consumers. The term "vulnerable consumer” includes, but is not limited to children, teenagers, people with disabilities, the elderly and those for whom English or Afrikaans is not their first language and subject to provisions of the Consumer Protection Act.
7. Universal marketing practices
These practices apply regardless of industry sector, sub-discipline or marketing medium employed.
7.1 Accuracy of Representation
Marketers must not misrepresent a product, service or marketing programme and must not mislead by statement or manner of demonstration or comparison.
Photography, artwork, type size, colour, contrast, style, placement, verbal description and audio-visual portrayal must accurately and fairly describe the product or service offered.
Marketers must ensure that the general impression of the communication does not deceive by omission or commission.
7.2 Clarity
Marketing communications must be executed in a manner that is simple and easy to understand.
7.3 Disclaimers
Disclaimers in any medium must be prominent and easily accessible, in close proximity to the representations to which they relate. Disclaimers must not be used to contradict claims but to provide additional information. Refer to Plain and Understandable language section 22 of the Consumer Protection Act.
7.4 Support for Claims
Test or survey data referred to in any marketing communication must be reliable, accurate and current and must support the specific claim being made. Marketers must be able to substantiate the basis for any performance claim or comparison and must not imply a scientific, factual or statistical basis where none exists.
7.5 Disguise (ref section 27 of Consumer Protection Act)
Marketers must not engage in marketing communications in the guise of one purpose when the intent is a different purpose.
Marketers must not claim to be carrying out a survey or research when their real purpose is to sell a product or service or to raise funds.
Marketers must not mislead or deceive consumers or businesses into believing that a marketing communication is news, information, public service or entertainment programming when its purpose is to sell products or services or to seek donations to causes or charities.
Marketers should avoid undercover or word-of-mouth marketing initiatives that encourage a consumer or busi-ness to believe that the marketers agents are acting inde-pendently and without compensation when they are not.
Marketing communications that appear to be genuine bills, invoices or government documents must not be used.
7.6 Testimonials
Testimonials and endorsements must be:
authorised by the person or organisation quoted;
genuine and related to the experience of the person or organisation quoted, both at the time made and at the time of the marketing communication;
positioned as opinion, not fact, unless supported by valid research; and
not taken out of context so as to distort the opinion or experience of the person or organisation quoted.
7.7 Timeliness
Descriptions and promises must reflect actual conditions, situations and circumstances existing at the time of the promotion.
7.8 Availability
Unless the promotional material advises the consumer or business of limited stock, marketers must ensure that quantities are sufficient to meet reasonably foreseeable demand.
7.9 Price Claims (ref section 23 of Consumer Protection Act)
Terms such as "regular price”, "suggested retail value”, "manufacturers list price”, and "fair market value”, must represent prices at which the item has been sold in the relevant marketplace in substantial quantity or for a substantial period of time.
Where price discounts are offered, qualifiers such as "up to”, and "xx off” must be presented in easily readable form, and in proximity to the prices quoted.
7.10 Use of the word "Free” (ref section 29 of Consumer Protection Act)
Products or services offered without cost or obligation on the part of the consumer or business may be described as "free”.
"Free” may also be used to describe a premium or incentive to purchase products or services, if:
any cost or obligation is identified in close proximity to the word "free”; or
the price of the original product has not been specifically inflated to cover the cost of the premium.
If not, the marketing communication must use another term, such as "bonus”.
7.11 Currency
Prices quoted in South Africa must be in South African Rand, unless otherwise clearly identified.
7.12 Comparative Advertising
Comparisons included in marketing communications must be factual, verifiable and not misleading. They must compare similar aspects of the products or services being assessed. Marketing communications should not stress insignificant differences designed to lead the consumer or business to draw a false conclusion.
7.13 Disparagement
Marketers must not use inaccurate information to attack, degrade, discredit or damage the reputation of competitors' products, services, advertisements or organisations.
7.14 Disclosures
Prior to a consumer buying opportunity, marketing offers must provide all the information necessary for a reasonable consumer or business to make an informed purchase decision. Marketers must take reasonable steps to ensure that a consumer or business agreement to enter a contract is fully informed and intentional. Precise disclosures will vary by product or service being marketed, but must include the:
exact nature of what is being offered;
price, including all additional charges such as delivery or handling costs;
terms of payment;
consumers or business' commitment and any ongoing obligation in placing an order; and
delivery arrangements including shipping terms and delivery times.
The following additional disclosures must be made either with the offer, or, provided the customer or business can return goods or refuse services, with the shipment:
other order-related charges (such as handling charges, services charges, surcharges, etc.);
late payment penalties;
return and cancellation policies and procedures;
substitution policies;
guarantees and warranties; and
marketer contact information.
For business-to-business transactions, all information necessary for a reasonable business to make an informed purchase decision, including the disclosures described in 9.14.1 must be presented at the time of the original offer and agreement. In the case of an ongoing relationship, the information must be presented again only when there is a material change.
A material change to an agreement requires new consent.
Disclosures of offers must be clear, comprehensive and prominent. They must present all items material to a purchase decision and be available in a form which permits a consumer or business to access a hard copy of the information.
Full and fair disclosure of the terms of the offer includes not just wording, but the manner of presentation of the price, terms and conditions and customer commitments and obligations. Information that, by the use of photo-graphy, artwork, type size, colour, contrast, placement, verbal description, audio-visual portrayal or other means, materially distorts the clarity of the offer or exceptions to it must not be used.
7.15 Fulfilment Practices
Specific requirements concerning shipment timing, delays, back-orders, substitutions, cancellation provisions, complaint handling, refund practices and written confirmations are dependent on the nature of the agreement as defined in relevant consumer protection and other laws. In addition to legal compliance, marketers should adopt practices of maximum transparency in notifying consumers and businesses about their order status and delivery timing.
Shipment: Goods offered must be shipped within 30 days of the receipt of a properly completed order or within any shorter period that may be prescribed by applicable law or within the time limit stated in the original agreement.
Delay: If delivery will be delayed, the consumer or business must be advised within 30 days of the receipt of the order or within any shorter period that may be prescribed by an applicable law or within the time limit stated in the original agreement.
Order Cancellation: Marketers must give consumers or businesses the right to cancel an order for goods which cannot be delivered within 30 days or any shorter period that may be prescribed by an applicable law or within the time stated in the original agreement, without cost or obligation to the consumer or business.
Substitution: Any substitution of goods to those originally offered and ordered must be disclosed to the consumer or business and must be of the same or better quality, or be approved by the consumer or business before shipment.
Guarantees and Warranties: Any guarantee provided with the provision of goods or services must clearly identify the name and address of the guarantor and duration of such guarantee. Any valid request under the terms of a guarantee for repair, replacement, refund or other remedy must be honoured promptly.
7.16 Automatically Billed Products or Services
Automatically billed products or services plans - in which the consumer or business agrees to receive and be billed for products or services on a continuing basis - are permitted. The marketer must clearly inform the consumer or business of all material terms and obligations in the original marketing communication, including whether there is a right to cancel.
Any material change in the products or services offered to a consumer or business that has previously consented to be automatically billed for those products or services must require the marketer to obtain new consent. Such new consent may be inferred from the consumer or business's acceptance or use of the products or services, provided that the consumer or business has a meaningful opportunity to decline the services without incurring cost or further obligation.
7.17 Unordered Products and Services
Marketers must not send unsolicited products or services to a consumer or business for which they invoice, bill or otherwise demand payment. Consumers or businesses have no obligation in respect of the use or disposal of unordered products or services.
7.18 Complaints
Marketers must establish and communicate fair, effective and timely procedures to handle complaints from consumers or businesses.
8. Protection of personal privacy
The Nine Privacy Principles as defined in the Protection of Personal Information Draft Bill 2006:
Accountability: An organisation is responsible for personal information under its control and accountable for the compliance of the principles.
Processing limitation: The collection of personal information shall be limited to that which is necessary, adequate, relevant and not excessive for the purposes identified by the organisation. Information shall be collected by fair and lawful means. The information must be collected directly from the data subject and the knowledge and consent of the individual are required for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information, except where inappropriate. The data subject has the right to object to usage of information.
Purpose specification: The specific, explicitly defined and legitimate purposes for which personal information is collected shall be made clear to the data subject at the time the information is collected. The personal information shall be retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes
Further processing limitation: Personal information shall not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law.
Information quality: Personal information shall be as accurate, complete and up-to-date as is necessary for the purposes for which it is being used.
Openness: The organisations must notify the Commissioner of its gathering of personal information activities, and they will be entered into a register. The organisation shall make readily available to individuals specific information about its policies and practices relating to the management of personal information.
Safety safeguards: Personal information shall be protected by security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information and integrity of personal information. Breach of security must be reported.
Individual participations: Upon request, an individual shall be informed of the existence, use and disclosure of his or her personal information and shall be given access to that information. An individual shall be able to challenge the accuracy and completeness of the information and have it amended as appropriate.
Transborder transfers: personal information must not be transferred to any foreign country, unless the country ensures an adequate level of protection in relation to the processing of personal information.
For guidance in the implementation of these principles and the key tenents of PPI marketers are encouraged to consult DMASA's Privacy Legislation Guide and DMASA Opt-Out Consent Guidelines.
8.2 Privacy and Business-to-Business
Business-to-business marketing also need to apply the PPI 8 Privacy Principles above when the collection, use or disclosure of contact information is limited to name, and/or title/position, and/or business address(es), and/or business phone number(s). If any other personal information is collected, used or disclosed then the provisions of this section apply.
8.3 Use of DMASA's Do Not Contact Service
Marketers must use DMASA's Do Not Contact Service when conducting a consumer mail campaign. In the absence of a government-mandated, national Do Not Call List, marketers must also use the DMASA's Do Not Contact Service when conducting marketing by way of a consumer telephone call, cell phone call or SMS, e-mail or fax. The service must be used regardless of whether the campaign is being conducted in-house or through the use of an agency and/or communications provider.
This does not apply to current customers who subscribed to communications prior to 01 April 2011, and who have separately requested that they be included on an organisation's internal Do Not Contact list.
8.4 Opt-Out Opportunity
Recognising that a consumer can opt-out of receiving marketing communications at anytime, marketers must present consumers, including current customers, an easy-to-see, easy-to-understand and easy-to-execute opportunity to decline further marketing, the use of their name or other information, at least once every three years. Marketers must always inform the consumers of the charge of opting out. The consumer cannot be charged more than the cost of transmission of the opting out after network charges.
See also Sections 12.4.9 and 12.6.5 of this Code, "Fax Marketing Opt-Out” and "E-mail Marketing Opt-Out”.
8.5 Source of Personal Information
Marketers must provide consumers with the source of their personal information, upon request. Please refer to the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act No. 25 of 2002.
8.6 List Rental Practices
Marketers must only rent or transfer their lists where they have a contractual guarantee that list users will abide by the relevant privacy laws in South Africa. Further, marketers should adopt a list rental and data transfer policy that limits rental of information only to organisations that agree to comply with Section 10.3 of this Code, "Use of DMASA Do Not Contact Service”.
9. Marketing to children and minors
By definition, Section 11 of this Code applies to consumer marketers only. In addition to the rest of this Code, and to specific legal requirements of the relevant jurisdiction(s), when marketing to children and minors, marketers must adhere to the following requirements.
9.1 Age and Application
For purposes of this Code, the term "child” refers to someone who has not reached his or her 18th birthday, and the term minor” refers to someone who has not reached his or her 21st birthday and/or is otherwise classified as a minor under South African law.
9.2 Responsibility
Marketing to children and minors imposes a special responsibility on marketers. Marketers must recognise that children and minors are not adults and that not all marketing techniques are appropriate for them.
Marketers will use discretion and sensitivity in marketing to children and minors, to address the age, knowledge, sophistication and maturity levels of their intended audience. Marketers should exercise caution that they do not take advantage of or exploit children and minors, particularly:
Marketers must not portray sexual behaviour or violence that is inconsistent with community or industry standards.
Marketers must respect the parent/guardian-child relationship and must not encourage the child or minor to exclude parents or guardians from a purchase decision.
Marketers must not solicit, collect or knowingly use per-sonal information from children and minors as a means of acquiring further household information.
9.3 Consent
Marketing interactions with children and minors are governed by the following guidelines concerning consent:
Except as provided for below in Section 11.4 of this Code, "Contests Directed to Children”, all marketing interactions directed to children that include the collection, transfer and requests for personal information require the express consent of the child's parent or guardian.
Where the child, parent or guardian withdraws or declines permission to collect, use or disclose a child's information, marketers must immediately delete all such information from their database.
Marketers must obtain the express consent from a minor for the collection and use of their personal and/or contact information. See Glossary of Terms of this Code for a definition of "contact information”.
Marketers must obtain the express consent of the parent or guardian prior to the disclosure of a child's or minors contact information to a third party.
Where the minor, parent or guardian withdraws or declines permission to collect, use or disclose a minors information, marketers must immediately delete all such information from their database.
9.4 Contests Directed to Children
Subject to applicable laws, marketers may collect personal infor-mation from children for the purposes of contests without ob-taining the parent or guardian's express consent, only if the marketer:
collects a minimal amount of personal information, suffi-cient only to determine the winner(s);
deals only with the winner(s)' parent or guardian and does not contact the winner(s);
does not retain the personal information following the conclusion of the contest or sweepstakes;
makes no use of the personal information other than to determine the contest or sweepstakes winner(s); and
does not transfer or make available the personal information to any other individual or organisation.
9.5 Credulity
Marketing to children and minors must not exploit their credulity, lack of experience or sense of loyalty.
Marketing communications to children and minors should not understate the degree of skill or age level generally required to use or enjoy the product or service.
Special care should be taken to ensure that direct marketing communications do not mislead children and minors as to the true size, value, nature, durability and performance of the product or service:
If extra items are needed to use it (e.g. batteries) or to produce the result shown or described (e.g. paint), this should be made clear.
A product or service that is part of a series should be clearly indicated, as should the method of acquiring the series.
Where results of the product or service usage are shown or described, it should represent what is reasonably attainable by the average child or minor in the age range for which the product or service is intended.
Marketing to children and minors must not unduly exploit their impressionability, or susceptibility to peer or social pressures. Marketers must not imply that possession or use of a product or service will make its owner superior to others or that without it the individual will be open to ridicule or contempt.
Price indication should not be such as to lead children and minors to an unreal perception of the true value of the product, for instance by using the word ‘only'. Nothing should imply that the product or service is immediately within reach of every family budget.
9.6 Age-appropriate Language
When marketing to children, marketing communications must be age appropriate and presented in simple language, easily under¬stood by children. Refer to Consumer Protection Act section 22.
9.7 Commercial Transactions
Marketers must not knowingly accept an order from a child or minor without a parent or guardian's express consent. Marketers must not pressure a child or minor to urge their parents or guardians to purchase a product or service.
Marketers must be aware that transactions with minors may not be legally enforceable against the minor, or his or her parent or guardian.
10. Sub-disciplines and specific marketing practices
In addition to the rest of this Code, marketers must adhere to the following requirements when employing specific marketing strategies and techniques.
10.1 Direct Mail/Catalogue Marketing:
As the collection, use and disclosure of personal information are closely linked to direct marketing, marketers must be aware of the principles detailed in Section 10 of this Code, "Protection of Personal Privacy”.
Renting Lists: Marketers and list owners or their repre-sentatives must define the parameters of the intended use of the list prior to the deployment of a marketing communication. Unless otherwise agreed to and specified in the list or data transfer contract:
A list or data transaction permits one-time use only.
Marketers may not transfer personal information from rented lists to their own marketing or customer files.
Consistent with the definition of current customer, marketers may continue to contact those consumers or businesses that respond to direct marketing or to catalogue solicitations.
Accessibility of the Marketer: All direct marketing and catalogue marketing communications must identify the marketer's name and a complete mailing address or tele-phone number.
Pre-notification Membership Plans or Clubs: A pre-notification subscription membership plan or club is a contractual plan offered by marketers to consumers. Under these plans, the seller pre-notifies the member of a selection that will be sent to the member and billed for unless the member instructs the seller, in a method provided by the seller, not to provide the selection.
Advertising and promotional material for a pre-noti-fication membership plan must clearly and conspicuously disclose material terms before soliciting a contract from a consumer. Material terms include: number of selections in a 12-month period; number of days to instruct the seller not to ship; and any minimum purchase or membership term. A consumer must provide explicit consent to join.
Continuity Programmes/Advance Consent Marketing Plans: Programmes where the consumer or business gives consent to receive and pay for products or services on a continuing or periodic basis until the recipient cancels the plan are subject to the requirements laid out in Section 9.16 of this Code, "Automatically Billed Products and Services”.
E-commerce: Marketers selling products and services online must:
provide a clear order confirmation process that allows the consumer to confirm his or her interest in buying, see all the relevant details of his or her order, confirm the accuracy of the details and print the details of the order as submitted;
send a separate confirmation e-mail as soon as possible after the online portion of a transaction has been completed; and
Provide an online "click-through” mechanism for consumers to contact the marketer.
Protection of Personal Information: Considering the fundamental importance of customer and prospect databases in direct marketing and cataloguing, marketers should give particular attention to the requirements in Section 10 of this Code, "Protection of Personal Privacy”. Marketers are also encouraged to consult DMASA's Privacy Legislation Guide and DMASA Opt-Out Consent Guidelines. Book training with the DMASA.
Security: All electronic transfer of data should be password protected and encrypted.
10.2 Sales Promotion
Lotteries and Contests: The use of contests or prizes in the promotion of goods or services must conform to the laws of South Africa. These marketing practices are highly regulated by law and marketers should obtain guidance from legal experts and/or professional contest administrators.
Marketers must present all terms and conditions of a con-test in a manner that is clear, visible, easy to find, easy to read and easy to understand.
See also Section 11.4 of this Code, "Contests Directed to Children”.
Field Marketing: Field marketing is the face-to-face prom¬otion or sale of products or services to consumers. It includes merchandising, sampling, demonstrations and events.
Marketers must ensure that information provided directly to consumers by field personnel is not misleading and does not employ unreasonably aggressive sales tactics. See also Section 9.5.4 of this Code regarding undercover or word-of-mouth marketing initiatives. Field demonstrations must be carried out safely by trained personnel.
Sampling: In certain industry sectors (e.g. pharmaceuticals, food, alcohol), this marketing practice is highly regulated and marketers should obtain guidance from legal experts and/or sampling specialists.
Marketers must take reasonable steps to ensure that samples are not distributed inappropriately to children or minors.
10.3 Direct Response Broadcasting
Marketers and their agencies should for detailed guidance about the development and clearance of commercials, infomercials and public service announcements.
Misrepresentation: Marketers must not employ presentations likely to mislead reasonable consumers or businesses that the presentation is news, information, public service or entertainment programming. (Product placement within entertainment programming is acceptable.)
Endorsement: Except where the endorser is identified as an expert or is a generally recognised celebrity (whose sole connection with the marketer is the payment of a fee for the endorsement), any material connection between the endorser and the marketer must be disclosed.
Results, experiences or findings of the endorser must be generally representative of the results to be expected by the average consumer or business. Alternatively, the marketer must clearly and conspicuously explain that the experiences or findings are not typical of the experiences of the average consumer or business.
Direct Response Television: Commercials that solicit orders must clearly disclose the price, purchase terms, shipping costs and currency if other than South African.
Infomercials and Transparency: Infomercials (direct response commercials over 12 continuous minutes in length) must be preceded and followed by a clear or prominent video and oral announcement that the presentation is a paid commercial message. This announcement must identify the product or service being offered and the marketers identity. The video announcement must also be presented prior to each ordering opportunity. For those infomercials intended for adults only, the opening disclaimer must notify viewers that it contains content intended for adults. This notification must be provided in both audio and video.
Direct Response Radio: As a local medium that reflects community standards, marketers should take the local environment into consideration, including the programming environment, the station's format and the composition of the station's audience.
10.4 Telephone/fax Marketing
These standards of practice apply to all forms of commercial solicitation relating to the purchase of products or services, or requests for charitable donation conveyed by telephone and/or cell phone (also known as telemarketing), including the presentation of offers by means of telephone facsimile (also known as fax).
Calling and Faxing Hours: Marketers must limit the hours of outbound telemarketing or faxing to the hours of 08:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. weekdays and 09:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturdays. Restrictions refer to the time zone of the called party. Calling or faxing must not be undertaken on statutory holidays.
Use of DMASA Do Not Contact Service: In the absence of a government mandated, national Do Not Call List, marketers must use DMASA's Do Not Contact Service when conducting a consumer telemarketing or fax campaign.
Internal Do Not Contact List: At the request of either a current customer or a consumer or business, marketers must promptly add telephone or fax numbers to an internal Do Not Contact list and cease marketing to the current customer, consumer or business at that telephone or fax number. Telephone and fax numbers must be re-tained on the internal Do Not Contact list for three years.
Unlisted Numbers: Marketers must not knowingly call any consumer or business who has an unlisted or un-published telephone number, except where the telephone number was furnished by the consumer or business to that marketer, or by a third party with the consumers consent.
Sequential Dialling: Marketers must not engage in sequential dialling.
Random Dialling: Marketers must not engage in random dialling other than to a list or public directory where it is possible to remove telephone and/or fax numbers that are on the DMASA Do Not Contact list (in the absence of a government mandated, national Do Not Call List) and/or on a marketers internal Do Not Contact list.
Unsolicited Fax Marketing: Marketers must not knowingly send unsolicited marketing communications by fax to consumers or businesses, except where the consumer or business is a current customer or has consented to receive such communications.
Fax Marketing Identification and Contact Information: Marketers must identify the marketer on behalf of whom the fax is being sent, including the telephone number, fax number and name and address of a responsible person to whom the faxed party can write. Marketers must display the originating faxing number or an alternate number where the sender can be reached, except where number display is unavailable for technical reasons.
Fax Marketing Opt-Out: Marketers must provide an easy-to-see, easy-to-understand and easy-to-execute opt-out opportunity within each fax advertisement.
Telephone Identification and Contact Information: Marketers must identify themselves, the business or organisation represented and the purposes of the call promptly at the beginning of each outbound telemarketing call. Upon request, the marketer must provide the marketers telephone number and the name and address of a responsible party to whom the called party can write. Marketers must not block Caller ID information, unless there is a significant technological impediment to pro¬viding this information to the consumer. Should there be a technological block, the tele-marketer must provide all the details when requested as per above.
Voice Recording: Marketers must obey the laws con-cerning voice recording and they must advise consumers when recording a goods or services transaction.
Frequency: Marketers must not knowingly contact a consumer who is not already a current customer more frequently than once per month for the same product or service unless they have received consent to do so. Business-to-business marketing is exempt from this requirement, as prospect development often requires more frequent contact, calling a business office is less intrusive than calling a consumer at home, and B2B marketing often involves contacting multiple individuals within the same company.
Use of Predictive Dialling Technology: Marketers using predictive dialling technology should ensure that abandoned or "hang up” calls be kept as close to 0% as possible, and must in no case exceed 5% of dialled calls for any given outbound telemarketing campaign.
10.5 Cell Phone Text/SMS/MMS Marketing
Unsolicited Text Messages: Marketers must not knowingly send unsolicited voice and/or text and/or multimedia messages to wireless devices of either consumers or businesses before consulting the national Do Not Contact database.
Internal Do Not Contact List: At the request of a current customer or a consumer or business, marketers must pro¬mptly add cell phone numbers to an internal Do Not Contact list and cease marketing to the current customer, consumer or business at that number. Cell phone numbers must be retained on the internal Do Not Contact list for three years.
10.6 lnternet/E-mail Marketing
Collection of E-mail Addresses: Marketers must identify the purpose for which an e-mail address is being requested prior to or at the time the e-mail address is collected. The e-mail address that has been collected can be used only for those purposes identified, subject to 12.6.3.
Published Business E-mail Addresses: Published business e-mail addresses should only be used for marketing communications relevant to the business of the e-mail recipient.
E-mail Consent: Marketers must not send e-mail marketing communications without the consent of the recipient, except where there is an existing business relationship. In cases where a consumer has provided his or her e-mail address to a marketer, the marketer has implied consent to e-mail that consumer.
Internal Do Not Contact List: At the request of a consumer or business, including a current customer, marketers must promptly add e-mail addresses to an internal Do Not Contact list and cease marketing to that e-mail address.
E-mail addresses must be retained on the internal Do Not Contact list for three years.
E-mail Marketing Opt-Out: Every e-mail message must clearly identify the marketer and source of the e-mail, and provide the recipient with a simple and easy-to-use click-through means to opt-out from receiving further e-mail marketing communications from the marketer.
E-mail Disclosure: Marketers must not misrepresent the source of any message or use false or misleading "subject” lines in e-mail marketing communications. The subject line and body text in e-mail marketing communications must accurately reflect the content, origin and purpose of the communications.
Privacy Policy: Marketers must clearly display a privacy policy on their website that articulates the Organisation's policy with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information that might be gathered from con¬sumers. The privacy policy must advise consumers what personal information is being collected, used and disclosed. Access to the privacy policy must be provided in every location, site or page from which the marketer is collecting such data.
11. Responsibilities of service providers
In their role as suppliers to marketers and as key contributors to the marketing industry, service providers are responsible for upholding the highest standards of professionalism and business conduct as set out in this Code and in particular this section.
11.1 Confidentiality

2017 Chevrolet Spark Redesign, Release and Changes – After a long awaited finally Chevrolet will release a new car. We of Bestautorelease.com will share the latest information about the release of the car 2017 Chevrolet Spark times as detailed as possible. Chevrolet car is one brand that is famous all over the world, every car that was released has always brought great changes and awesome. This car will be released in 2017, we will also review about the price, interior, exterior and engine 2017 Chevrolet Spark. So happy reading, and enjoy it.
The 2017 Chevrolet Spark is perfect for first-time buyers and city dwellers. It’s inexpensive, easy to maneuver and offers plenty of amenities and safety equipment. If that sounds great to you, keep reading to learn more about Chevy’s high-tech, low-cost hatchback.
The Chevrolet Spark is the smallest Chevy ever made, a relatively tall box on a tiny footprint and a champion at parking and zipping around the city.All Spark models come with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder gas engine.There are no electric or hybrid versions in the 2017 Chevrolet Spark lineup.
In a world with very low gas prices and inexpensive mid-size sedans, the 2017 Chevrolet Spark runs counter to just about every prevailing trend. It’s in its second year in a new body, and the Spark still intrigues us for doing a very good job at a couple of things: parking and zipping around urban frontiers. The Spark is the tiniest Chevy you can buy, and that means it’s almost overlooked in the Chevy lineup of trucks, SUVs and crossovers.
Spark was designed for global sales.It started out with good timing, selling well in North America during its first three years from 2013-2015.But now, in the second year of its second generation, its road in the U.S.gets steeper against affordable gasoline and reasonably priced midsize sedans.
If you are looking for an affordable but well equipped and frugal subcompact car, look no further than the new 2017 Chevrolet Spark. The Spark looks more enticing than ever courtesy of a host of upgrades which includes a more stylish exterior look, a revised cabin and an upgraded drive-train. The model also features a new architecture. With the upgrades, Chevrolet has taken the battle straight to the doorstep of its rivals.
A year after its introduction the 2017 Chevrolet Spark receives five new colors and a new variant called the Spark Activ. Compared to the standard Spark hatchback, the Spark Activ has lower body cladding, a slightly higher ride height, round fog lights, roof rails, and 15-inch alloy wheels.
2017 Chevrolet Spark Price
Our prices can range from $13,000 – $17,425 to get the 2017 Chevrolet Spark is based on the current dollar exchange rate. Car prices are subject to change at any time. If there are changes in prices for the 2017 Chevrolet Spark we will do an update on this article, so keep reading and following our blog Bestautorelease.Com.
2017 Chevrolet Spark Specs
Below we have summarized some of the reviews about the features of the car exterior and interior 2017 Chevrolet Spark. The car is expected to be a comfortable car for the ride by the community.
The 2017 Chevy Spark’s layout consists of seating for four and a small space for groceries and gear behind the two rear seats. Those seats can be folded to expand cargo capacity from roughly 11 cubic feet to over 27. That’s more than enough to hold a few suitcases, but not quite as much as the 1st-generation Spark. Blame the lower roofline and shorter length. Rear-seat legroom has also shrunk, but other aspects, like hip and shoulder room, have grown. All Spark models include a 7-inch color touch screen in the center stack and logically arranged climate-control dials.
The 2017 Chevrolet Spark minicar continues to compete well with the likes of the Mitsubishi Mirage, Fiat 500 and Smart Fortwo. Although the electric version is dropped this year, the Spark’s 41 mpg and peppy 1.4-liter engine make it the perfect miserly commuter car. From a technology standpoint, the affordable Spark minicar for 2017 offers a 7-inch touch-screen audio system with built-in Wi-Fi, a rearview camera and both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. The Chevy Spark is also up to date on the latest safety equipment, with options including forward-collision alert (but not prevention) and lane-departure warning. Though no long distance cruiser, the Spark is ideal for quick around-town runs and the occasional 2-person road trip.
Technologies have also been revamped and the model will feature an upgraded infotainment system, up-to-date connectivity features like the GM sourced 4GLTE Wi-Fi connectivity, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Other features include steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and a sunroof. I think the Spark is the most equipped subcompact car in the market today. It can rival many cars with a higher price tag.
The 2017 Spark primarily stands out for its technology-forward cabin at an affordable price. Each Spark comes standard with a rearview camera, a 4G LTE hotspot (via General Motors’ OnStar service) and a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. On the Spark 2LT, you can also order an optional package to get lane departure warning and forward collision alert, two safety features not commonly found in this class of car.
The outgoing Spark was not as impressive as I had expected of Chevrolet. However, I gave the automaker the benefit of doubt since the outgoing model was the subcompact car’s first generation. I was not thus much surprised when I saw the new Spark looking all stylish and mature.
The 2017 Chevrolet Spark is a four-door, four-passenger, subcompact hatchback offered in three trims: LS, 1LT and 2LT. In addition to the safety features listed in the Safety section below, standard features on the LS trim include 15-inch steel wheels, automatic headlamps, a rear spoiler, a rearview camera, air-conditioning, a 60/40-split folding rear seat, a height-adjustable driver seat, a tilt steering wheel, a trip computer, outside temperature display, carpeted floor mats, Chevy’s OnStar telematics system with 4G LTE WiFi hotspot, and the MyLink infotainment system.
MyLink includes a 7-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a USB port, smartphone app integration, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration and a four-speaker audio system with an auxiliary jack. Opting for the 1LT trim adds 15-inch alloy wheels, foglights, heated, power-adjustable mirrors, cruise control, remote keyless entry, power windows and door locks, steering-wheel-mounted audio and phone controls, a theft-deterrent system, satellite radio and a six-speaker audio system.
Due to the reduced exterior dimensions, the second row space has reduced by 3 cubic feet to 35 cubic feet. Cargo space with the seats folded has reduced by 4 cubic feet to 27 cubic feet but remains unchanged when the seats are up. Although the height was reduced, the automaker accordingly reduced the H point on the seats to preserve the model’s headroom.
However, the automaker caught me off guard with the reduced dimensions of the new Spark. For compact cars, you only expect the size to be expanded but Chevrolet did quite the opposite. The new model is shorter than the outgoing Spark. The Spark ‘s length has reduced by 1.6 inches, width by 0.1 inches and its height has reduced by 0.4 inches but its wheelbase has increased by 0.4 inches.
2017 Chevrolet Spark Engine
Under the hood, the Spark is offered in a choice of two drive-trains i.e. a conventional and an electric engine. The conventional engine is a 1.4 L, 4-cylinder mill which is rated at 98 hp at 6200 rpm and 94 lb-ft of torque at 4400 rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard but one can opt for a CVT system.
This engine is pretty frugal as it returns 29 mpg in city and 38 mpg on highway for models with a manual gearbox and 30 mpg city and 38 mpg on highway drives for models paired with an automatic transmission.
Powering all variants of the 2017 Spark is a 1.4-liter I-4 with 98 hp and 94 lb-ft of torque paired to a five-speed manual transmission or a CVT. For the standard Spark, fuel economy is rated at 29/38 mpg city/highway with the manual and 30/38 mpg with the CVT. The Spark Activ is rated at 29/37 mpg with the manual and 30/37 mpg with the CVT.
The front-wheel-drive 2017 Chevrolet Spark uses a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 98 horsepower and 94 pound-feet of torque. It comes with either a standard five-speed manual transmission or an optional CVT. This CVT features a unique design that can regulate engine power through one of two settings, rather than the single output design of most CVTs. One setting simulates lower gears when the driver demands quicker acceleration, while the other mimics higher gears for open-road cruising.
1.4-liter inline-4
98 horsepower @ 6,200 rpm
94 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 30/41 mpg (manual), 31/41 mpg (automatic)

Transformers: Salvation Signup Topic (Temporarily closed)
RPG Discussion
ProfSrlojohn 2019-07-15 12:08:08 UTC #184
New character, if that's allowed.
name: Juliana (Jewel-E-ana)
faction: Nuetral (with autobot leanings)
Appearance: In robot mode,
somewhere between Nautica,
and windblade.
Alt mode: a Bugatti Atalante
image.jpg1280x800 310 KB
Weapons & such: not much, but just before she boarded the Salvation she had gattling guns that flip out from the sides added.
Personality: Very charming, and extremely attractive by transformer standards, but extremely shy and reserved. Think Olivia from Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Bio: Juliana was created by Human named Craig Philips {for the record, mostly random name}. Craig loved his car, He waxed her every week, made weekly tune-ups, and kept her running like a dream. Only if she could talk back. This gave Craig an Idea, over several years, he manged to change his beloved Juliana into a transforming robot, but she had no life, no spark that would make Juliana into a living thing being. So he traveled to Cybertron. He smuggled Juliana onto a cargo ship and they both rode it to the planet. He then snuck into vector sigma's chamber. There he begged Vector Sigma to give Juliana life. He got no response. He stayed there for 4 days and nights, asking the omniscient super computer to allow Juliana to live. Then, it spoke. It told him that it would awaken Juliana on one condition. He would have to leave the chamber. This troubled Craig. He wanted to be the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes, but if he didn't she would never know and experience life. He though about it for several hours. He mad his decision, he left the room. As soon as Vector Sigma allowed him he raced into the room to see Juliana. She was beautiful, and he told her so. "Oh, your just saying that." she responded. She was a shrinking violet, just like he envisioned. He thanked vector sigma and left the chamber.
They spent a good 20 years together on earth until Craig passed away, as all living things do in the end. she then decided to join the Salvation. She now works as an entertainer at Antillian Sunrise.

ProfSrlojohn:
For now, I'll keep accepting new characters.
Anywho, I like Juliana's concept. It's a very neat and original backstory. There's just one problem, though.
He smuggled Juliana onto a cargo ship and they both rode it to the planet. He then snuck into vector sigma's chamber. There he begged Vector Sigma to give Juliana life
Unfortunately, this universe's Vector Sigma is inaccessible at this point in the timeline, and has been for a very long time. However, the backstory could still work if this Craig fellow instead took a spark from a Hot Spot somewhere.
Chromeharpoon:
Hot Spot somewhere.
what in the name of Mata Nui is a Hot Spot,
and did you get who Craig Philips is referencing?
Sorry, I forgot this is Prime. I only ever watched the original tv show plus the first 3 Headmaster episodes. I didn't know that it was any different.
I'm glad you like the back story, I wrote it in about 10 minutes, I took heavily from Pygmalion from greek mythology.

Something strange has happened in the United States. It happened slowly; so slowly in fact that we can excuse ourselves for having missed it. In the late 1950s blacks stop asking ‘are we there yet’ and gave up seats in the back of the bus to start a march towards civil rights. The strange thing that has happened since began in the late 1980s as large groups of white people got up and claimed seats in the back of the bus.
Throughout the 1990s these ‘whites’ began to ask “are we there yet” as a way of indicating how tired they were with colored people’s struggle for equality and rights. At the turn of the century they accented their “are we there yet” rant with a cry of wolf in the face of what they understood to be reverse discrimination otherwise known as social progress. It is against this backdrop that articles like the one below by Lance Morrow made headway as both common sense and conventional wisdom among ‘white moderates’ and social conservatives.
When the parents, grandparents and great grandparents of these ‘white moderates’ and social conservatives were in the driver’s seat or just along for the ride, they were in no hurry to get “there”. When the revered, God fearing and freedom loving ‘founding fathers’ were in the driver’s seat at the writing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787 they were in no hurry to get “there”.
As a matter of historical fact, the ‘founding fathers’ decided to delay the trip “there” by 20 years when they allowed for the continuation of the slave-trade until 1808. During this delay they managed to craft the first ten amendments to the constitution that reserved seats at the front of the bus for ‘whites only’ until a tired old black women took the bus home one-hundred and sixty-seven years later.
When President Abraham Lincoln had a chance to take the whole country “there” in 1863 he decided to free slaves in territories where he had no authority and allow slavery to continue in territories where he had a monopoly of violence. In other words, he stopped the bus in front of blacks but did not let any get on, preferring instead to show them the places they would eventually occupy at the back of the bus. In 1865 with the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment the bus made its second stop but the doors did not open. It pulled off leaving former slaves to enjoy their ‘freedom’ as share-renters and sharecroppers.
“On Aug. 22, 1862, President Lincoln wrote a letter to the New York Tribune that included the following passage: “If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.”” Five myths about why the South seceded, By James W. Loewen, Saturday, February 26 – The Washington Post
Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hate Map
As the ruins of Reconstruction turned into the rot of Jim Crow the bus made a few stops and blacks began to take their assigned seats at the back of the bus. The first few of them that asked “are we there yet” found themselves hanging from trees and the center pieces of barn fires. The next brave souls that ventured to ask “are we there yet” did so as they were getting off of the bus. No sooner had their feet hit the ground than they were driven back by water hoses and night-sticks.
Taking the fight to the United States Supreme Court in Brown V. Board of Education Thrugood Marshall and his team of lawyers were told by the highest court in the land that we will get there with “all deliberate speed”. Much to his dismay and to ours today, “all deliberate speed” meant and means ‘slow’. In the mean time, we will just have to watch as ‘white moderates’ and ‘social conservatives‘ get over our social, economic and political problems faster than we do.
The Cure For Racism
By Lance Morrow – Times Magazine – Monday December 5, 1994
In 1966, Vermont’s Senator George Aiken proposed that the U.S. disentangle itself from Vietnam by declaring victory and withdrawing. America should think < about a variation on the Aiken scenario in order to begin leaving behind its fatal domestic quagmire of race. The nation should decide that, in order to rescue everyone’s honor — above all, that of African Americans — it is time to withdraw from an untenable dynamic, from the racial equivalent of what the French generals in Indochina called “bad country.”
American Born Chinese
“A tour-de-force by rising indy comics star Gene Yang, American Born Chinese tells the story of three apparently unrelated characters: Jin Wang, who moves to a new neighborhood with his family only to discover that he’s the only Chinese-American student at his new school; the powerful Monkey King, subject of one of the oldest and greatest Chinese fables; and Chin-Kee, a personification of the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, who is ruining his cousin Danny’s life with his yearly visits. ”
In Tapes Nixon Rails About Blacks and Jews (1973)
by Adam Nagourney – New York Times – December 11, 2010
Richard M. Nixon made disparaging remarks about Jews, blacks, Italian-Americans and Irish-Americans in a series of extended conversations with top aides and his personal secretary, recorded in the Oval Office 16 months before he resigned as president.
Lets Rescue the Race Debate
by Charles M. Blow – New York Times – November 19, 2010
“There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. … Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs … There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well.”
Attack on Michelle Obama shows Palin’s ignorance of history
By Richard Cohen –Tuesday, November 23, 2010
When I was 11, my father thought it was time to show my sister and me the nation’s capital. I have only vague memories of that trip – the heat, the expanse of the White House’s grounds, the Jefferson Memorial. I do remember we took Route 1 through Baltimore (no I-95 yet) and it was there that I saw my first sign with the word “colored” on it – a rooming house, I think. This was 1952, and the United States was an apartheid nation.
How voter ID laws are being used to disenfranchise minorities and the poor.
But if you don’t have the means to get a driver’s license, or if you cannot afford the time and money it takes to get certain other forms of government ID, you are out of luck? What a great country this is.

If – Rudyard Kipling
But make allowance for their doubting too;
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim;
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run --
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!

Words of Wisdom: “IT” is what you are when you are young. Your youth mistakes certainty of the few things that you think you know for knowledge of things that it takes a life time to understand. With time and a few life experiences “IT” becomes the thing you pursue to give your life meaning. Somewhere along the way of having or getting “IT” you ask yourself, ‘Is this “IT”? Panic sets in when you realize that “IT” is your life. Fear and insecurity is that feeling you get when “IT” has not been worth a life time.

Here’s his dossier: Graduate Engineer, in his thirties. Lost in a large engineering group. Married, has good paying job but no future. Could go far with right opportunity for creative engineering work.
If you know this man, tell him to communicate with J. M. Hollyday, Dept. S-3, The Glenn L. Martin Company, Baltimore 3, Maryland.
Subject: Exciting new long range developments at Martin which have created many exceptional opportunities in the engineering field on projects of the highest priority and promise.
P.S. He may be you.

“Martin” still exists in merged form as Lockheed Martin, don’t they? Maker of the F22?

Toronto: Correct, and the F-35 and a lot of other things http://www.lockheedmart…
C-130J too, along with the F-16 Fighting Falcon. (Lockheed)
Martin also made the titan II and III rockets.
I’m pretty sure the Herc predates the Lockheed Martin merger/takeover/whatever, and was pure Lockheed.
Firebrand38 says: November 27, 20091:10 am
Toronto: Yeah and the F-16 was designed and initially supplied by General Dynamics, but they are all manufactured by Lockheed Martin now. (Gimme a break first flight of the C-130 was 1954).
The C-130J however had it’s first flight after the merger. It’s pure Lockheed Martin.
Interesting because GD left aviation/aerospace for a while to concentrate on subs and tanks– now they own Gulfstream. In 1985 GD bought the Cessna company but later sold it along the the Convair units to Lockheed, during the industry consolidation post cold war/Bill Clinton presidency.
You could probably do a master’s thesis on the consolidation of the defense/aerospace industry in the last 20 years; it makes for interesting “strange bedfellows management/working stiff relations.”

Home August 2017 Understanding Research on Minimum Wages
Frank Atkins
Understanding Research on Minimum Wages
It is very difficult for the average individual to understand published academic research, and published economic studies are no different. This came to the forefront recently, as there has been a renewed interest in the economic effects of raising the minimum wage. As provinces in Canada and some U.S. states have recently begun aggressive increases in the minimum wage, there has been a recent flurry of activity and new data available – starting with Seattle in 2014 – studying the effects of the increase in minimum wage. Here in Alberta we should be watching these studies very closely, as we are currently undertaking a similar policy move.
Unfortunately, the studies based on the effects of the Seattle changes have produced contradictory results. The first study came from Berkeley, California, and it concluded the Seattle minimum wage changes had exactly the desired policy effect: minimum wage workers earned more money, and there was no change in employment. This conclusion was contradicted by the results of a recent study from the University of Washington. These researchers concluded the 2016 Seattle increase to $13 per hour caused employment amongst minimum wage workers to decrease by nine per cent. The Washington authors actually calculated a response parameter (which economists call elasticity): for every $1 worth of increased wages, there will be $3 worth of lost employment opportunities.
One wonders how two groups of researchers can study data from what is essentially a real-world laboratory experiment, and come to two opposing conclusions. Some of this contradiction arises because the two sets of researchers did not actually have the same set of data. The authors of the Washington study had access to the number of hours worked by those receiving minimum wage, while this data was not available to the Berkeley authors.
The different data sets notwithstanding, as an economist, these types of contradictory results are embarrassingly familiar. Some economic research is becoming similar to climate change research: the authors have a preconceived idea of what is “correct” and then proceed to confirm their original opinion. You can see some of this in the reaction from some economists to the results of the Washington study. The Economic Policy Institute, which is a U.S. left-wing think tank, issued a statement that said, “There is a large body of research that shows that modest increases in the minimum wage boost wages for low income workers without causing job loss, and nothing in the UW study suggests we should revise those conclusions.”
It is possible that both sides of this controversy missed an important possible conclusion from the Washington study. Perhaps some minimum wage workers, when faced with an increase in their hourly wage, actually chose to work fewer hours. Interestingly, this possibility is predicted by economic theory. The conclusion here would be that some minimum wage workers are earning enough income already. This conclusion would clearly infuriate the left-wing economists.

Maintain An Even Strain.
I was in interation meetings today. On the whole it's a lot of fun. I enjoy seeing the demos of completed features, the estimating (well, sometimes), and the customer's selection of stories.
In the course of a discussion there was a recollection. I don't know if it was original or whether our friend Na'im was quoting someone else when he said that Agile didn't reduce the pain of software development, it just spread it evenly. True enough. Developers work hard, while the decision-making pain is spread to the customer. Each iteration's expected velocity is the prior iteration's actual velocity, so each iteration is as hard as the one before it. The feedback loop is so much shorter, so that problems arising from the use of the system (including the pain of having a bad or insufficient requirement as well as the pain of change when a tool's existance demands a new process) are experienced sooner by the customer, and continually. All of the disruption from building, releasing, and deploying a program is felt every time. There is a general restriction against overtime so that the amount of work you can do is kept a bit more constant. There is also the continuing pressure to produce and to make/keep the code base clean. Estimation, measurement, all commences and continues. The process is small and iterative, and the pace is smooth in its way.
I asked one slightly sneaky question, in order to determine whether the customer felt that they were really in control of the process, or whether they felt that it was something that happened around/to them. I was delighted with the answer, which indicated that they very much felt that the project was in their control. It was a good moment as well.
In the movie The Right Stuff I recall repeatedly hearing the phrase "maintain an even strain." I think it's a good analogy for what Agile is doing. The strain is spread out across time, and across the participants.
As I learn more about the techniques and principles, I start to remember my meager acquaintance with Deming's methods. I remember that the first step is never to optimize, but to measure and assess. You get a more even strain. Once you have basic measurement of your products and process, then you can make deliberate and measured changes. It's funny how the idea of "software factory" has found its real expression in the agile processes.
I was also remembering a friend named Ray who was involved with QA. He once told me (long before XP first twinkled in its first eye) that the thing necessary to move software quality forward was "executable specifications". We lived through the whole CASE fiasco, and here in agile methods we find ATs and UTs are the very thing that Ray had hoped for at least a decade ago. I hate to load up on advocacy here (nobody comes here unless they're at least partly indoctrinated), but I have to think that we're heading in the right direction. We're following what so many of the best and brightest really intended or wished for a long time ago.
Thu, 23 Feb 2006 02:30:43, Gurkan Nisanci, Concentration
As I see from my experiences, when I want something, I work hard to make it real. By applying XP practices into my work, I never feel the pain of working that hard. But once it is over, I feel it with all my body. Since XP practices brings a lot of fun into development stages, during the normal process, I am addicted to work and every day I try to do my best. So I never understand how much I get tired of work until it gets completed. I think Beck saw that too and as a result continuous overtime is not recommended. In my current project, the team worked overtime continuosly for 3 weeks and people feel exhausted at the end.I understood once again that, overtime can never be a solution for time commitments. You do extra work at night but next day your energy is always belower than your average work day performance. You loose your joy, become less careful and start feeling the pain and it gets bigger as overtime goes on:)

How to have your say Chief Minister Katy Gallagher, Simon Corbell and Andrew Barr fire up their laptops for the Virtual Community Cabinet. Picture: Gary Schafer ACT Ministers take to Twitter By ................................................... Peter Reynolds First virtual community cabinet takes place CANBERRA'S politicians were thrown out of their comfort zone last week when they were subjected to a barrage of questioning in the first virtual community cabinet. While some of the cabinet are regular tweeters, most notably Si- mon Corbell and Andrew Barr, and all have participated in community cabinets before, the frenetic pace at which the questions came was a new experience. Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging website that enables its users to send and read messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts limited to 140 characters. More than 700 tweets from more than 200 users were posted in the hour-long session, more than any other Australian thread that day, making it a hard task for the ministers to keep up. The major issues raised by Can- berrans were problems with public transport, planning, and recreational facilities. The cabinet members did their best to keep up with the questioning, with Katy Gallagher, Andrew Barr and Simon Corbell all answering more than 30 queries. Joy Burch arrived late to the session and had less than 10 tweets. Chief Minister Katy Gallagher labelled the virtual community cabi- net a huge success, but was looking at ways to improve the online engagement process. ''In the future we will refine arrangements to best allow engage- ment from as many of the com- munity as possible,'' she said. ''I have also decided, based on the success of the Twitter cabinet, to hold a Chief Minister's blog session which will allow a more compre- hensive way of connecting. It can be tricky replying to concerns in 140 characters. ''More traditional ways of engag- ing with people will continue to exist but these new initiatives will add to, and complement, the exist- ing community engagement me- chanisms.''

NPA on Mayor Sara’s peace offer: NDF still the negotiating entity
Mar. 02, 2017 MART D. SAMBALUD
The New People’s Army in Southern Mindanao Region says it would gladly discuss any matter that Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte would like to take up with the revolutionary movement. (davaotoday.com file photos)
DAVAO CITY, Philippines—The New People’s Army in Southern Mindanao emphasized that although it welcomed the talks with Mayor Sara Duterte, it stands by the national leadership of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines as the negotiating entity in the peace process.
NPA Southern Mindanao Spokesperson Rigoberto Sanchez issued a statement Wednesday to draw a clear line of its upcoming talks with the city’s local chief executive.
This as Sanchez slammed the Armed Forces of the Philippines in Davao region for requesting an augmentation force that will be deployed in Davao City.
“To make certain its all-out war is sustained, the AFP in the region has already beefed up its infantry. Their arrival mocked the public statement made by GRP Mayor Sara Duterte to talk with the NPA in the wake of the tactical offensives in Calinan last week,” he said.
Sachez said the NPA’s tactical offensives against state security forces in Davao region has resulted to 20 fatalities. He added that the communist fighters have also foiled a score of military assaults in Davao Oriental, Davao del Norte, Davao City and North Cotabato, respectively.
“By its own account after two day-engagement, the AFP launched massive airstrikes and artillery bombardment in the two separate incidents. More than a total of 500 families in Bansalan and Asuncion towns have been displaced due to the AFP’s indiscriminate shelling,” Sanchez said.
Meantime, the NPA said that it would “abide by their duty to defend the masses and the revolutionary movement by launching punitive actions against the AFP, PNP and their paramilitaries who are deaf to the call for peace by carrying on with a futile all-out war.” (davaotoday.com)

Star-studded US Festival documentary and concert film being released Friday on DVD and Blu-ray
Classic Rock Web Team
MVD Entertainment GroupA new documentary and concert film about the making of the 1982 US Festival, the three-day musical extravaganza put on by Apple computer company co-founder Steve Wozniak, will be released on DVD and Blu-ray this Friday, August 10.
The US Festival: 1982 The US Generation mixes performance highlights with new and archival interviews with Wozniak, some of the artists who played at the concerts, and various other people involved in the event.
The festival took place September 3-5, 1982, at Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernardino, California, and was attended by about 400,000 people. Among the many artists who performed at the festival and are featured in the film: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Police, Fleetwood Mac, Santana, The B-52s, The Cars, The Talking Heads and The Ramones.
The flick includes exclusive conversations with Wozniak, Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood, Eddie Money, The Ramones’ Marky Ramone, The B-52s’ Kate Pierson, The Police’s Stewart Copeland and The Grateful Dead‘s Mickey Hart, among others. It also features archival appearances by Johnny and Joey Ramone, Carlos Santana, Sting, The Cars’ Ric Ocasek and The B-52s’ Fred Schneider.
Wozniak, who’d become wealthy thanks to Apple’s success, decided he wanted to spend some of that money on a massive rock festival that would promote a sense of community through music and technology. Famed concert promoter Bill Graham helped organize the event, which lost $12 million.
In a trailer for the documentary, Wozniak recalls the motivation behind the festival. “I thought, ‘Wow, time for a big huge concert out in the middle of nowhere,'” he said. “And I was just thinking the whole time…’I am so thankful that I have all this money from Apple that I can do it, ’cause nobody else would.'”

Tommy Morrison Died Tragically of Denial
Morrison's wild ride ended by denial
By Tom Friend | ESPN.com
Tommy Morrison died Sunday night of an undisclosed illness. But for all intents and purposes, he died of denial.
In 1996, Morrison was diagnosed with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In 1997, he told me he was still having unprotected sex with his first wife.
"I'll trust an attorney before I'll trust a doctor," he said.
I'm not sure how many wives he ended up with (I lost count after the fourth), but nothing ever changed. His last wife, Trisha, recently told ESPN.com's Elizabeth Merrill that they, too, had had unprotected sex. As far as Tommy was concerned, his HIV never existed. He searched high and low for rogue doctors who would assure him he was fine, who would clear him to go back to boxing. He was nothing without boxing, nothing without sex -- so he looked the other way.
He tried AZT for a month and threw it in the trash; he thought the HIV therapy drug taken by most HIV patients was propoganda. His family staged an intervention to get him back on meds, but he cursed at them and said, "I will lay down and die before I take any drugs." Magic Johnson tried to reach out to him in 1996 -- the same Magic Johnson who is thriving 22 years after his own HIV diagnosis -- and Tommy Morrison plum ignored him.
"I remember talking to Magic the day I announced I had HIV," Morrison told me in 1998. "He was preaching, 'Do what your doctor tells you.' Well, I didn't have a doctor then, so I got down on my knees and I prayed. Every day, I was like, 'God, what do I do?' Hell, I saw myself dying. And then I started getting all these books in the mail, and they all said, 'Don't worry about it. Just live your life.' So that's what I did."

Rethinking AIDS Denialism: Former Boxing Champ Tommy Morrison

In a house on the edge of a dead-end road, an old woman waits for her son to die. The call will come any day now, she says, and when it does, she wants her youngest boy to be buried in Sulphur Springs, Ark., with the rest of the family. She dreads and hopes for this call, if that makes any sense. Only none of it makes sense.
Diana Morrison crushes a Pall Mall, lights another and dissects her son's fate. She's matter-of-fact about it, barely emotional, perhaps because Tommy Morrison, former World Boxing Organization champion, former HIV cautionary tale, has stared at death before. But this time it's different.

She says Morrison has been bedridden for a year, can't speak and is being kept alive with the help of a feeding tube and a ventilator.

AIDS Denier Clark Baker Needs a Real Job
HIV Denialist’s Suit Against Blogger Should Be Tossed, Sperlein Says
By Rhett Pardon, SAN FRANCISCO
Adult industry attorney Gill Sperleinfiled court papers Friday on behalf of Todd DeShong, a blogger accused of trademark infringement and defamation relating to his criticism of notorious AIDS denialist Clark Baker and his organization the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice (OMSJ).
Baker believes the pharmaceutical industry promotes faulty HIV tests in order to sell HIV-suppressing drugs; DeShong, meanwhile, believes early HIV testing and treatment saves lives.
But the importance of accurate testing is well known in the adult entertainment industry, Sperlein said.
According to court documents, Baker first attempted to shut down DeShong’s website HIVInnocenceGroupTruth.com by filing a UDRP complaint, accusing DeShong of infringing the trademark “HIV Innocence Group.”
The UDRP arbitrator disagreed, ruling that OMSJ was actually guilty of reverse domain name high jacking because OMSJ clearly knew DeShong was legitimately using the mark when it filed its complaint, Sperlein said.
Undeterred, Baker and OMSJ sued DeShong in federal court for trademark infringement, defamation, and business disparagement.
But Sperlein and a team of attorneys came to DeShong’s defense filing two separate motions to dismiss Friday, arguing that the trademark claims should be dismissed because DeShong’s use of the mark was fair use and the defamation related claims should be dismissed because DeShong’s statements were either opinion or factually accurate.
Sperlein also argued that the claims were brought after the statute of limitations had passed.
DeShong’s pro bono defense team also includes another industry attorney, Gary Krupkin, who serves as local counsel; Paul Alan Levy of Public Citizen; and Neal A. Hoffman of the Houston firm Bush & Ramirez.
David Rasnick for the Defense: How AIDS Denialists Help Prove You Are Insane
"HIV predator" must remain behind bars
Updated: Friday, 28 Jun 2013, 6:41 PM EDT
Published : Friday, 28 Jun 2013, 7:14 AM EDT
MAYVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - A New York drug dealer imprisoned in the 1990s amid accusations he infected 13 young women with HIV lost his bid for freedom Friday despite having completed his sentence more than two years ago.
A jury in western New York found that Nushawn Williams, 36, suffers from a mental abnormality that makes him subject to "civil management" and will either be confined to a secure treatment facility or kept under strict supervision, according to the attorney general's office.
"With this determination, Mr. Williams will get the treatment he needs and the citizens of New York will be safer," said Melissa Grace, a spokeswoman for Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
The Chautauqua County jury deliberated for just over an hour. A hearing will be held to determine Williams' level of management.
Williams, who now goes by the name Shyteek Johnson, completed a 12-year sentence for statutory rape and reckless endangerment in 2010.
But state officials sought his continued imprisonment and described him as a mentally disturbed, sex-obsessed drug user likely to infect more women if set free. A psychologist's report said Williams targeted vulnerable young women who were underage and/or drug addicted and "used charm and coercion to secure sexual contact."
Before the trial's start, Williams' lawyer John Nuchereno claimed that a new test showed that Williams isn't HIV positive. Nuchereno argued that without HIV, Williams is not a danger and should be freed.
Something Stinks in Buffalo: AIDS Denialism and The Case of Nushawn Williams
HIV test, justness of law likely to color Williams’ trial
David Rasnick
By Jay Tokasz | The Buffalo News
Nushawn Williams, the Jamestown man who gained national notoriety when accused of spreading the virus that causes AIDS, remains behind bars more than 15 years after his criminal offenses in Chautauqua County.
But when a 20-year-old Buffalo man admitted in 2011 to having unprotected sex with four young women and a 15-year-old girl while knowing he was infected with HIV, he was sentenced to a year in jail for his crimes.
“It was similar enough to say, ‘My God, the treatment was so different,’ ” said John R. Nuchereno, defense attorney for Williams.
Williams, now 36, was supposed to be freed in 2010, upon completing a 12-year sentence for a statutory rape and reckless endangerment conviction.
Yet, three years later, he remains in Wende State Correctional Facility because the state attorney general contends Williams is a sexual predator likely to infect others with HIV.
The trial, while not open to the public, is expected to draw plenty of interest, both from civil liberties groups troubled by the state’s civil confinement policy and from various HIV and AIDS organizations intrigued by the potential legal impacts of the case.
Nuchereno already has made the stunning claim in a pretrial hearing that Williams does not have HIV, based on a recent electron microscope analysis of his blood by the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine.
The contention appears likely to be a crux of Williams’ defense, which is being aided by the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice, a nonprofit organization based in Studio City, Calif.
The group runs the HIV Innocence Project and has used electron microscopy results in military trials to help defend soldiers accused of transmitting the virus to sexual partners.
G. Baron Coleman, an Alabama lawyer connected with the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice who has represented several soldiers, is expected to assist Nuchereno in at least a portion of his defense of Williams.
Lawyers from the Attorney General’s Office questioned the legitimacy of the electron microscope test and asked State Supreme Court Justice John L. Michalski to allow them to do their own analysis of Williams’ blood.
Rules of law prohibited Michalski from agreeing to the request.
But several medical professionals and HIV experts contacted by The News said the electron microscope was not an accepted method for finding HIV or for monitoring a patient infected with the virus.
“Electron microscopy is not, never has been and never will be an appropriate, relevant or approved way to detect HIV in the blood. Indeed, it’s beyond silly suggesting it could, would or should be used for this purpose,” said John Moore, professor of microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City.
‘A little bit out of left field’
Williams’ blood was analyzed in April by Gregory M. Hendricks, manager of the Core Electron Microscopy Facility at the UMass Medical School, who found “no evidence” of HIV, according to a letter he sent to the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice.
Dr. Joseph S. Cervia, clinical professor of medicine and pediatrics at Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, noted that blood tests screening for the presence of HIV antibodies have been used reliably for years to determine whether someone has HIV.
HIV, AIDS ‘denialists’
Seth Kalichman, an HIV and AIDS prevention and treatment researcher, expressed concern that the startling legal strategy in the Williams case will mislead people about accepted science with regard to diagnosing and treating HIV.
The Office of Medical and Scientific Justice and its executive director, Clark Baker, are HIV and AIDS denialists, Kalichman said.
And he said their efforts are potentially damaging to public health.
“They have no credibility. They’re not really scientists at all,” Kalichman said.
The organization has become adept at trying to manipulate juries in court-martial cases by raising suspicions about HIV tests and the influence of big pharmaceutical companies, he said.
And that’s potentially destructive, because some people who test HIV positive can’t deal with the reality and will seek out the misinformation put out by AIDS denialists as a source of comfort, said Kalichman.
“These guys provide them with a way out,” he said. “There have been people who have died because they listened to these people.”
The Legal System Turned Upside Down: Defining, Diagnosing, and Denying HIV
Nushawn Williams. Remember him? In 1999 Williams was convicted as a sexual predator in New York State; Guilty of rape and reckless endangerment. Williams is HIV infected and he infected his victims, including a 13 year old.
It looks like Clark Baker and his AIDS Denialist crew of medical mischief and pseudoscientific scams have come to rescue Nushawn Williams, who now claims that he is not HIV infected. Williams may have tested HIV positive, but the tests were, of course, invalid.
New tests ordered by the defense, with what appears to be consultation from Clark Baker, uses an AIDS denialist favorite scheme -- electron micrographs.
For an AIDS Denialist, the only proof that HIV exists would be an image of the ‘pure virus’. AIDS Deniers refute science that relies on combinations of antibody/antigen/PCR testing to diagnose HIV. They also, by the way, refute images of HIV because they are not ‘pure virus’.
While in prison, Williams had been receiving treatment for his HIV infection. Successful treatment leads to viral suppression, making it very hard to get an image of the virus.
This is the new tactic of AIDS Deniers Clark Baker and David Rasnick. They have been using services of The Core Electron Microscopy Facility at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. A cell biologist named Gregory Hendricks has been running these tests in cases that employ Baker and Rasnick.

Conspiracy Theories, AIDS Denialism, Holocaust Denial, and Dr. Nancy Banks
Just as we were getting bored with the same old (elderly white male) AIDS Deniers, enter Dr. Nancy Banks. Claiming to have a medical degree from Harvard, Dr. Banks has been recruited into Clark Baker’s AIDS denialism legal team. She is one of his star witnesses for his Office of Medical and Scientific Justice. Banks is an ‘expert’ witness in Military cases, where Clark Baker has actually found an attorney dim enough to employ his services.
What I like most about Nancy Banks is that she illustrates something we have known for years… AIDS Denialists and Holocaust Deniers are nuts in the same shell. In the case of Nancy Banks, she is one nut that has it all – conspiracy theories, AIDS denial, and Holocaust denial. Below is an essay that sheds light on Nancy Banks. I have agreed not to name of the author to evade Clark Baker’s harassment.
Celia Farber's Day in Court: Dismissed with Unavailing Contentions
Supreme Court Decision in
Celia Farber, Plaintiff-Appellant,
Richard Jefferys et al.,
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Louis B. York, J.), entered November 9, 2011, which granted defendant Richard Jefferys' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint as against him, unanimously affirmed, with costs.
Supreme Court properly determined that plaintiff was a limited public figure because, through her publication of countless articles, she voluntarily injected herself into the controversial debate on whether HIV causes AIDS with a view toward influencing the debate (see Krauss v Globe Intl., 251 AD2d 191, 192 [1st Dept 1998]), and "project[ed] [her] name and personality before . . . readers of nationally distributed magazines . . . to establish [her] reputation as a leading authority" in this area (Maule v NYM Corp., 54 NY2d 880, 882-883 [1981]). The court also properly concluded that the subjects of HIV/AIDS, plaintiff's journalism, and her receipt of an award for her journalism fell "within the sphere of legitimate public concern" (Chapadeau v Utica Observer-Dispatch, 38 NY2d 196, 199 [1975]). Indeed, the record established that plaintiff was a contentious figure within the traditional HIV/AIDS community.
Crazy Is as Crazy Does: Conspiracy Theories and Anti-Science
Recursive fury: Conspiracist ideation in the blogosphere in response to research on conspiracist ideation
Published in Frontiers in Personality Science and Individual Differences, 2013
by Stephan Lewandowsky et al.
Conspiracist ideation has been repeatedly implicated in the rejection of scientific propositions, although empirical evidence to date has been sparse. A recent study involving visitors to climate blogs found that conspiracist ideation was associated with the rejection of climate science and the rejection of other scientific propositions such as the link between lung cancer and smoking, and between HIV and AIDS (Lewandowsky, Oberauer, & Gignac, in press; LOG12 from here on). This article analyzes the response of the climate blogosphere to the publication of LOG12. We identify and trace the hypotheses that emerged in response to LOG12 and that questioned the validity of the paper's conclusions. Using established criteria to identify conspiracist ideation, we show that many of the hypotheses exhibited conspiratorial content and counterfactual thinking. For example, whereas hypotheses were initially narrowly focused on LOG12, some ultimately grew in scope to include actors beyond the authors of LOG12, such as university executives, a media organization, and the Australian government. The overall pattern of the blogosphere's response to LOG12 illustrates the possible role of conspiracist ideation in the rejection of science, although alternative scholarly interpretations may be advanced in the future.

So long as the standards are kept high, then I think it will demonstrate that cryptozoology isn’t just full of crackpots chasing Nessy. —Darren Naish, University of Southampton, U.K.
Since the demise of the journal Cryptozoology in 1996, there has been no peer-reviewed English-language periodical for the controversial field, which studies animals known from anecdote, folklore, or fragmentary physical evidence, but not yet authenticated with actual specimens. So when the U.K.–based Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) approached popular cryptozoology writer Karl Shuker about launching a new journal, he was happy to oblige.
“I felt it imperative that a journal of this nature should exist again as a platform for formal scientific cryptozoological research and reviews of past cases that mainstream journals may not be willing to consider,” says Shuker, who has a PhD in zoology and comparative physiology from the University of Birmingham, U.K. Having assembled a panel of reviewers who then pored over the first batch of submissions, the CFZ and Shuker published the first issue of The Journal of Cryptozoology in October 2012. Editor-in-chief Shuker insists that all articles are subjected to the “same level of rigorous peer-review evaluations as [in] any mainstream journal.”
A Hard Nut to Crack: Why AIDS Denialism Won't Die Easy
False beliefs persist, even after instant online corrections
By Jeff Grabmeier
AIDS Denier David Crowe
It seems like a great idea: Provide instant corrections to web-surfers when they run across obviously false information on the Internet. But a new study suggests that this type of tool may not be a panacea for dispelling inaccurate beliefs, particularly among people who already want to believe the falsehood.
“Real-time corrections do have some positive effect, but it is mostly with people who were predisposed to reject the false claim anyway,” said R. Kelly Garrett, lead author of the study and assistant professor of communication at Ohio State University.
The Price of Investing in AIDS Denial Scams
Scam suspect claims he's paying back $200,000
By John Tedesco
San Antonio Express News
Accused of bilking nearly $200,000 from a partly paralyzed doctor, Douglas McClain Sr. said Friday he was no scam artist and intends to pay back Dr. Charles Arnold.
McClain, 61, said he's already paid back $15,800 — which was news to Arnold.
“That would be nice,” said Arnold, a 73-year-old neuropsychiatrist who was paralyzed in a motorcycle wreck several years ago. “But it isn't true.”
The criminal case is the latest legal headache for McClain, who owns a 3,600-square-foot home in Fair Oaks Ranch appraised by the county at nearly $410,000.

Flagship projects, such as Mapping the Republic of Letters, the Çatalhöyük Living Archive, Kindred Britain, the ORBIS Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World have all begun to reshape not just the methods that we as Humanists bring to bear on our questions, but the very questions we ask.
