Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Palace Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe, but with less species.

As a consequence of the intellectual and erudite nature of the inhabitants of Baeza, they decided to create their own University at the end of the XVI century, a long time before these of Jaén or Úbeda.
The building, one of the few with Mannerist style that the city has, was founded by the priest Rodrigo López, a relative of the Pope Paulo III, upon the Saint León chapel, a plot transferred by the Council in 1571.
Firstly, a first letters school was created dedicated to the Holly Trinity. Nevertheless, with the arrival of Juan de Ávila in 1540, new teachings were introduced as Liberal Studies, secondary education, degrees and doctorates in Arts and Theology.
The first students' graduation took place in 1549 and they became the professors of the future University. Their effort and good performance convert this University of Baeza into the best university in Andalusia during the years. However, due to the parish character of the University, a phenomenon of exaltation occurred between the students, known as "illuminati", which forced the intervention of the Inquisition Court, something that finished with the imprisonment of the most distinguished teachers.
In 1565, new Rhetoric, Grammar, Greek Philosophy and Theology chairs were created. With the arrival of Pedro Fernández de Córdoba to the management, the institution would be elevated to a higher position. Due to that, he designed an enlargement which finished with the construction of the Saint Jean Evangelist church.
The University remained until 1824. Nevertheless, the lessons on the primary school continued with these of Latin; followed by the creation of a Liberal Studies School and after a high-school -where Antonio Machado worked as a teacher-, and these days there is a secondary education centre.
The architecture is similar to that of the renaissance palaces.

Sir Keir Starmer, Prime Minister
Rachel Reeves, Chancellor of the Exchequer
Labour’s first Budget was an ideological act. It taxes and borrows and spends and, by its own account, will fail to improve growth, wages or the public finances. We know in future budgets the Chancellor will return demanding more and more.
The consequences already show. Businesses are contemplating redundancies as they assess their growing wage bills. Companies are reporting price rises from suppliers. GP practices are excluded from the NHS National Insurance exemption. Family farming is in crisis as inheritance tax rules change. Government borrowing costs are rising and mortgage costs are forecast to stay higher for longer.
And there was no mandate at all to do this. Before the election Rachel Reeves said “we don’t need higher taxes. What we need is growth… and I have no plans to increase any taxes beyond those which we have already set out.” Then, Reeves said she would increase taxes by £8.5 billion, spending by £9.5 billion, and borrowing by £3.5 billion by 2028/29. Last week, she raised taxes by £40 billion, spending by £76 billion, and borrowing by £36 billion.
This weekend, Reeves justified her broken promise, telling the BBC, “I didn’t know about the state of the public finances” before the election. But this was a lie on top of another lie. In June, before the election, her secret tax plans were reported in the Guardian. Labour sources had blabbed, saying upon arrival at the Treasury Reeves would claim to be surprised by her inheritance and seek a “doctor’s mandate” to raise taxes. “That is not what they are presenting the public with right now,” the sources admitted.
Such was the suspicion that Reeves would do this, she was forced to deny it in a pre-election interview in the Financial Times. “We’ve got the OBR now,” she said, explaining that the independent Office for Budget Responsibility meant “you don’t need to win an election” to know the details of the public finances. Among the tax rises she ruled out in that interview, two – capital gains tax and changes to inheritance tax reliefs – were in the Budget, and proposed in a report written by Reeves in 2018.
Along with the Prime Minister, Reeves has on different occasions claimed that her tax rises and extra borrowing are necessary, variously, to fund public services, ensure fiscal credibility, and fill the fictional £22 billion black hole she invented after the election. The changing justifications are in themselves enough to arouse suspicion, but at no point before the election did Labour ever say they believed public services needed such an injection of cash.
And her claims about the so-called fiscal hole have also fallen apart. Before the Budget, the Treasury briefed the media that the OBR would publish a full breakdown of the £22 billion figure, and justify what Reeves has been saying since July. But that is not what happened. The OBR report identified £9.5 billion of in-year spending pressures – pressures of the kind that arise every year, and were never denied by the Tories – and said the remainder of Reeves’s claim was explained by Labour’s own public sector pay deals. “Nothing in our review,” the OBR Chairman said, “was a legitimisation of that £22 billion.”
Of course, if Tory ministers had covered up the public finances, as Reeves claims, the Treasury permanent secretary and other senior civil servants would have been in on it too. If Reeves really believed what she says, she would already have insisted on the resignations of all the Whitehall accounting officers concerned. But she has not, because she knows what she says is untrue.
And this is not nearly all. Even now, Reeves claims her Budget protected “working people”, while admitting in an interview that her increase in National Insurance – something she called a “jobs tax” in opposition – will mean lower wages for workers. She claims she has “put the public finances on a firm footing”, but public sector net borrowing will rise every year following the Budget, and debt interest spending will rise over £120 billion a year.
Reeves and her colleagues have taken the “art” of political lying to a whole new level. Before the election the Environment Secretary, Steve Reed, said Labour had “no intention” of changing agricultural property relief for inheritance tax, and said it was “desperate nonsense” to claim otherwise. But the Budget cut the relief for thousands of farms.
In the Department of Health, Wes Streeting refuses to answer questions about the role of Alan Milburn, who is working with officials, sees classified papers, but has not been asked to disclose or publish his significant financial interests in the health sector. In the Home Office, Yvette Cooper refuses to answer questions about the claims she has made about the cost of asylum policies. The figures she presented to Parliament are based on what appears to be blatant double-counting, yet she will not explain herself or apologise.
As Kemi Badenoch takes the reins of the Conservative Party, this is a target-rich environment for a hungry opposition. In a political system like ours, still dependent on respect for norms and conventions and precedent, it can be difficult to make ministers pay the price for dishonesty, particularly when the public is jaded and much of the media cynical, and certainly when a government has already proved itself so shameless. But the Tory pursuit of Labour must be tireless.
For this is not only about Reeves and Reed, or Streeting and Cooper. It is about the culture of a party set by its leader. Keir Starmer was in on all those promises made during the election campaign, and he knew as well as Reeves did that he would break them. We have known since his Labour leadership campaign five years ago that such dishonesty is his modus operandi. Then, he promised to nationalise rail, mail, energy and water, end outsourcing in the public sector, get rid of Universal Credit and scrap tuition fees – only to drop the commitments as soon as he won.
Starmer took Labour members for fools, and now he is doing the same to the rest of us. We cannot let him get away with it.

The Postcard
A Seaside Comic Series postcard that was published by Bamforth & Co. Ltd., Publishers, of Holmfirth, England and New York. The card was printed in England.
The card was posted in Bridlington using a 1d. stamp on Monday the 21st. July 1924. It was posted to:
Mrs. Cox,
c/o 23, Town Street,
Tinsley,
Sheffield.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"What do you think
to me? Do you think
I've improved?
Mrs. W."
The Leopold and Loeb Murder Trial
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 21st. July 1924, the Leopold and Loeb trial began as defense lawyer Clarence Darrow told the Illinois court that his clients were entering pleas of guilty.
Nathan Freudenthal Leopold Jr. (1904 - 1971) and Richard Albert Loeb (1905 - 1936) were two wealthy students at the University of Chicago who kidnapped and murdered 14-year-old Bobby Franks in Chicago in May 1924.
They committed the murder - characterized at the time as "The Crime of the Century" - as a demonstration of their ostensible intellectual superiority, which they believed enabled and entitled them to carry out a "perfect crime" without consequences.
After the two men had been arrested, Loeb's family retained Clarence Darrow as lead counsel for their defense. Darrow's 12-hour summation at their sentencing hearing is noted for its influential criticism of capital punishment as retributive rather than transformative justice.
Both young men were sentenced to life imprisonment plus 99 years. Loeb was murdered by a fellow prisoner in 1936; Leopold was released on parole in 1958.
Leopold and Loeb's Murder of Bobby Franks
Leopold and Loeb, who were 19 and 18 respectively at the time, settled on kidnapping and murdering a younger adolescent as their perfect crime.
They spent seven months planning everything, from the method of abduction to disposal of the body. To obfuscate the actual nature of their crime and motive, they decided to make a ransom demand, and devised an intricate plan for collecting it involving a long series of complex instructions to be communicated, one set at a time, by phone.
They typed the final set of instructions involving the actual money drop in the form of a ransom note, using the typewriter stolen from the fraternity house. A chisel was selected as the murder weapon and purchased.
After a lengthy search for a suitable victim, mostly on the grounds of the Harvard School for Boys in the Kenwood area, where Leopold had been educated, the pair decided upon Robert "Bobby" Franks, the 14-year-old son of wealthy Chicago watch manufacturer Jacob Franks.
Bobby Franks was Loeb's second cousin and an across-the-street neighbor who had played tennis at the Loeb residence several times.
Leopold and Loeb put their plan in motion on the afternoon of the 21st. May 1924. Using an automobile that Leopold rented under the name Morton D. Ballard, they offered Franks a ride as he walked home from school.
The boy initially refused, because his destination was less than two blocks away, but Loeb persuaded him to enter the car to discuss a tennis racket that he had been using.
The precise sequence of events that followed remains in dispute, but a preponderance of opinion placed Leopold behind the wheel of the car while Loeb sat in the back seat with the chisel.
Loeb struck Franks, who was sitting in front of him in the passenger seat, several times in the head with the chisel, then dragged him into the back seat and gagged him, where he died.
With the body on the floor of the back seat, the men drove to their predetermined dumping spot near Wolf Lake in Hammond, Indiana, 25 miles (40 km) south of Chicago.
After nightfall, they removed and discarded Franks' clothes, then concealed the body in a culvert along the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks north of the lake.
In order to obscure the body's identity, they poured hydrochloric acid on Franks' face and genitals to disguise the fact that he had been circumcised, as circumcision was unusual among non-Jews in the United States at the time.
The Ransom Note
By the time the two men returned to Chicago, word had already spread that Franks was missing. Leopold called Franks' mother, identifying himself as "George Johnson", and told her that Franks had been kidnapped; instructions for delivering the ransom would follow.
After mailing the typed ransom note and burning their blood-stained clothing, then cleaning the blood stains from the rented vehicle's upholstery, they spent the remainder of the evening playing cards.
Once the Franks family received the ransom note on the following morning, Leopold called a second time and dictated the first set of instructions for the ransom payment.
The intricate plan stalled almost immediately when a nervous family member forgot the address of the store where he was supposed to receive the next set of directions, and it was abandoned entirely when word came that Franks' body had been found.
Leopold and Loeb destroyed the typewriter and burned a car blanket that they had used to move the body. They then went about their lives as usual.
Chicago police launched an intensive investigation and rewards were offered for information. Both Leopold and Loeb enjoyed chatting with friends and family members about the murder. Leopold discussed the case with his professor and a girl friend, joking that he would confess and give her the reward money.
Loeb helped a couple of reporter friends of his find the drug store he and Leopold had tried to send Jacob Franks to, and when asked to describe Bobby he replied:
"If I were to murder anybody, it would
be just such a cocky little son of a bitch
as Bobby Franks."
Police found a pair of eyeglasses near Franks' body. Although common in prescription and frame, they were fitted with an unusual hinge purchased by only three customers in Chicago, one of whom was Leopold.
When questioned, Leopold offered the possibility that his glasses might have dropped out of his pocket during a bird-watching trip the previous weekend.
Leopold and Loeb were summoned for formal questioning on the 29th. May. They asserted that on the night of the murder, they had picked up two women in Chicago using Leopold's car, then dropped them off some time later near a golf course without learning their last names.
However their alibi was exposed as a fabrication when Leopold's chauffeur told police that he was repairing Leopold's car while the men claimed to be using it.
Also the chauffeur's wife confirmed that the car was parked in the Leopold garage on the night of the murder. The destroyed typewriter was recovered from the Jackson Park Lagoon on the 7th. June.
Confessions
Loeb was the first to confess. He asserted that Leopold had planned everything and had killed Franks in the back seat of the car while he (Loeb) drove. Leopold's confession followed swiftly thereafter. He insisted that he was the driver and Loeb the murderer.
Their confessions otherwise corroborated most of the evidence in the case. Both confessions were announced by the state's attorney on the 31st. May.
Leopold later claimed, long after Loeb was dead, that he pleaded in vain with Loeb to admit to killing Franks. He quoted Loeb as saying:
"Mompsie feels less terrible than
she might, thinking you did it, and
I'm not going to take that shred of
comfort away from her."
Most observers believed that Loeb did strike the fatal blows. Some circumstantial evidence – including testimony from eyewitness Carl Ulvigh, who claimed that he saw Loeb driving and Leopold in the back seat minutes before the kidnapping – suggested that Leopold could have been the killer.
Both Leopold and Loeb admitted that they were driven by their thrill-seeking, Übermenschen (supermen) delusions, and their aspiration to commit a "perfect crime".
Neither claimed to have looked forward to the killing, but Leopold admitted interest in learning what it would feel like to be a murderer. He was disappointed to note that he felt the same as ever.
The Trial of Leopold and Loeb
The trial of Leopold and Loeb at Chicago's Cook County Criminal Court became a media spectacle. The Leopold and Loeb families hired the renowned criminal defense attorney Clarence Darrow to lead the defense team.
It was rumored that Darrow was paid $1 million for his services, but he was actually paid $70,000 (equivalent to $1,200,000 in 2022). Darrow took the case because he was a staunch opponent of capital punishment.
While it was generally assumed that the men's defense would be based on a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, Darrow concluded that a jury trial would almost certainly end in conviction and the death penalty.
Thus he elected to enter a plea of guilty, hoping to convince Cook County Circuit Court Judge John R. Caverly to impose sentences of life imprisonment.
The trial, technically an extended sentencing hearing, as their guilty pleas had already been accepted, ran for thirty-two days.
The state's attorney, Robert E. Crowe, presented over 100 witnesses, documenting details of the crime.
The defense presented extensive psychiatric testimony in an effort to establish mitigating circumstances, including childhood neglect in the form of absent parenting, and in Leopold's case, sexual abuse by a governess.
One piece of evidence was a letter written by Leopold claiming that he and Loeb were having a homosexual affair. Both the prosecution and the defense interpreted this information as supportive of their own position.
Darrow called a series of expert witnesses, who offered a catalog of Leopold's and Loeb's abnormalities. One witness testified to their dysfunctional endocrine glands, another to the delusions that had led to their crime.
Darrow's Speech
Darrow's impassioned, eight-hour-long "masterful plea" at the conclusion of the hearing has been called the finest speech of his career. Its principal arguments were that the methods and punishments of the American justice system were inhumane, and the youth and immaturity of the accused:
"This terrible crime was inherent in his organism, and it came from some ancestor. Is any blame attached because somebody took Nietzsche's philosophy seriously and fashioned his life upon it? It is hardly fair to hang a 19-year-old boy for the philosophy that was taught him at the university.
We read of killing one hundred thousand men in a day [during World War I]. We read about it and we rejoiced in it – if it was the other fellows who were killed. We were fed on flesh and drank blood.
Even down to the prattling babe. I need not tell you how many upright, honorable young boys have come into this court charged with murder, some saved and some sent to their death, boys who fought in this war and learned to place a cheap value on human life. You know it and I know it. These boys were brought up in it.
It will take fifty years to wipe it out of the human heart, if ever. I know this, that after the Civil War in 1865, crimes of this sort increased, marvelously. No one needs to tell me that crime has no cause. It has as definite a cause as any other disease, and I know that out of the hatred and bitterness of the Civil War crime increased as America had never seen before.
I know that Europe is going through the same experience today; I know it has followed every war; and I know it has influenced these boys so that life was not the same to them as it would have been if the world had not made red with blood.
Your Honor knows that in this very court crimes of violence have increased growing out of the war. Not necessarily by those who fought but by those that learned that blood was cheap, and human life was cheap, and if the State could take it lightly why not the boy?
Has the court any right to consider anything but these two boys? The State says that your Honor has a right to consider the welfare of the community, as you have. If the welfare of the community would be benefited by taking these lives, well and good. I think it would work evil that no one could measure.
Has your Honor a right to consider the families of these defendants? I have been sorry, and I am sorry for the bereavement of Mr. and Mrs. Franks, for those broken ties that cannot be healed. All I can hope and wish is that some good may come from it all. But as compared with the families of Leopold and Loeb, the Franks are to be envied – and everyone knows it.
Here is Leopold's father – and this boy was the pride of his life. He watched him and he cared for him, he worked for him; the boy was brilliant and accomplished. He educated him, and he thought that fame and position awaited him, as it should have awaited. It is a hard thing for a father to see his life's hopes crumble into dust.
And Loeb's the same. Here are the faithful uncle and brother, who have watched here day by day, while Dickie's father and his mother are too ill to stand this terrific strain, and shall be waiting for a message which means more to them than it can mean to you or me. Shall these be taken into account in this general bereavement?
The easy thing and the popular thing to do is to hang my clients. I know it. Men and women who do not think will applaud. The cruel and thoughtless will approve. It will be easy today; but in Chicago, and reaching out over the length and breadth of the land, more and more fathers and mothers, the humane, the kind and the hopeful, who are gaining an understanding and asking questions not only about these poor boys, but about their own – these will join in no acclaim at the death of my clients.
These would ask that the shedding of blood be stopped, and that the normal feelings of man resume their sway. Your Honor stands between the past and the future. You may hang these boys; you may hang them by the neck until they are dead. But in doing it you will turn your face toward the past. In doing it you are making it harder for every other boy who in ignorance and darkness must grope his way through the mazes which only childhood knows.
In doing it you will make it harder for unborn children. You may save them and make it easier for every child that sometime may stand where these boys stand. You will make it easier for every human being with an aspiration and a vision and a hope and a fate.
I am pleading for the future; I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men. When we can learn by reason and judgment and understanding and faith that all life is worth saving, and that mercy is the highest attribute of man."
The judge was persuaded, but he explained in his ruling that his decision was based primarily on precedent and the youth of the accused. On the 10th. September 1924, he sentenced both Leopold and Loeb to life imprisonment for the murder, and an additional 99 years for the kidnapping. A little over a month later, Loeb's father died of heart failure.
Darrow's handling of the law as defense counsel has been criticized for hiding psychiatric expert testimony that conflicted with his polemical goals and for relying on an absolute denial of free will, one of the principles legitimizing all criminal punishment.
Prison and Loeb's Murder
Leopold and Loeb initially were held at Joliet Prison. Although they were kept apart as much as possible, the two managed to maintain their friendship.
Leopold was transferred to Stateville Penitentiary in 1925, and Loeb was later transferred there as well. Once reunited, the two expanded the prison school system, adding a high school and junior college curriculum.
On the 28th. January 1936, Loeb was attacked by fellow inmate James Day with a straight razor in a shower room; he died soon after in the prison hospital.
Day claimed that Loeb had attempted to sexually assault him, but he was unharmed, while Loeb sustained more than fifty wounds, including defensive wounds on his arms and hands. His throat had been slashed from behind.
News accounts suggested Loeb had propositioned Day, and though several prison officials including the Warden believed Loeb had been murdered, Day was found not guilty by a jury after a short trial in June, 1936.
Don Knotts
The 21st. July 1924 also marked the birth of the actor Don Knotts, in Morgantown, West Virginia.
Jesse Donald Knotts was an American actor and comedian. He is widely known for his role as Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show, a 1960's sitcom for which he earned five Emmy Awards.
He also played Ralph Furley on the highly rated sitcom Three's Company from 1979 to 1984.
He starred in multiple comedic films, including leading roles in The Incredible Mr. Limpet (1964) and The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966).
In 2004, TV Guide ranked Don number 27 on its 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time list.
Don was born the youngest of four children. In the 1940's, before earning a college degree, he served in the United States Army and in World War II.
While enlisted, he chose to become a ventriloquist and comedian as part of a G.I. variety show, Stars and Gripes.
After the army, he got his first major break on television in the soap opera Search for Tomorrow where he appeared from 1953 to 1955.
He then gained wide recognition as part of the repertory company on Steve Allen's variety show, where he played the "extremely nervous man" in Allen's mock "Man in the Street" interviews.
In 1958, Knotts made his film debut in the adapted version of No Time for Sergeants.
Don was cast as deputy Barney Fife on television's The Andy Griffith Show, which ran from 1960 to 1968. He reprised the character in other shows, such as The Joey Bishop Show and Return to Mayberry. Knotts won five Emmy Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Television Comedy.
Death and Legacy of Don Knotts
Knotts died at the age of 81 on the 24th. February 2006 at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles from pulmonary and respiratory complications of pneumonia related to lung cancer.
He had undergone treatment at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the months before his death, but returned home after reportedly feeling better.
Don was laid to rest at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, in Los Angeles. Don is in good company - also buried in the memorial park are Marilyn Monroe, Burt Lancaster, Truman Capote, Buddy Rich, Hugh Hefner, Natalie Wood, Dean Martin, Ray Bradbury, Roy Orbison, Robert Newton, Ryan O'Neal, Farrah Fawcett, George C. Scott, Don Knotts, Jack Lemmon, Tim Conway, Walter Matthau, Billy Wilder, Frank Zappa, and Kirk Douglas.
Knotts' obituaries cited him as a major influence on other entertainers. In early 2011, his grave's plain granite headstone was replaced with a bronze plaque depicting several of his movie and television roles.
A statue honoring him, created by Jamie Lester, was unveiled on the 23rd. July 2016 in front of The Metropolitan Theatre in his hometown of Morgantown, West Virginia.

I lucked out at Tesco. The available range was very, very limited but I managed to find something that would fit. The bonus was that the stuff that fitted was on the 50% rack, with further clearance reductions. My already cheap suit got a lot cheaper, ringing up finally at £18!
The only caveat were that the trousers were a bit long, so tonight involved busting out the wonderweb and doing a bit of hem adjustment.

When my girls were young, we tried very hard to limit their sugar intake and vigorously avoided serving them junk food. Three decades later, I've got one daughter who seems to thrive on sugar.

That’s what it’s about, making stories come alive and enjoying them in the dark with strangers…
With the road drainage failing routinely in heavy rain, this was a fairly common picture in the ground floor.
This was the conference theme of #OpenEd in Vancouver in 2012. Recent shifts in discourse and the stepping away by David Wiley, is a natural consequence of this call for action.
I have a lot of respect for David Wiley and what he's done for education across North America and the world.
I think he's wise to allow the community to step up to decide how its future should look, since he has limited positionality and can only address OpenEd from his perspective.
As we seek more diverse voices into the conversation (arguably the GOAL of Open Ed) - we need to make space for their concerns, goals, experiences to be heard.
David stepping away is a natural progression and not something that should cause lament. We should celebrate the success that would bring us to this turning point.
Conferences are only one way to share and make progress. We have much bigger issues than who will be booking the hotel and conference accommodations for 2020.
Finally it's time we started listening to voices that haven't been privileged in dominant narratives. Those voices that were once in the margins are finally being recognized. There is so much to learn from these voices.
In Tressie McMillan Cottom's book Thick (as quoted by PS Mag:
"black feminists "know the future" through their position at the intersection of multiple forms of oppression. As economic inequality increases, spreading from black communities, which "have always suffered from near-recessionary rates of unemployment," to white ones, what black women know about navigating unequal societies seems especially precious and prescient right now."
(bold emphasis mine)
(and yes, my cat is trying to eat the badge)
I feel the work of #FemEdTech about challenging dominant narratives and widening the conversation is exactly the type of shift that is required for the next iteration of #OpenEd

Serious change is on the horizon for the Transportation Community and it appears as though news of the effect is falling upon deaf ears. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has reported a small percentage of the 500,000 active carriers have logged onto the CSA 2010 web page to look at their information. The FMCSA has strongly encouraged supporting truck drivers and firms understand the consequences of the new polices and the particular significance associated with overseeing their performance. FMCSA administrators have been pleased that approximately 2% of all freight carriers have actually logged in to determine their own results as well as make sure they are in compliance with the quickly approaching policies.
Several professionals in the community from Owner Operators, Consultants, and Carriers, to Freight Brokers, 3PL's and Shippers have considered CSA 2010 Regulation as a "GAME CHANGER" pertaining to the trucking industry. The media coverage of the brand-new legislation has become widespread and has been the subject of quite a few heated arguments. Generally there has been many charged discussions the marketplace and the FMCSA and Congress. Despite the pleas of many in the industry, Federal Officials have determined that the large number of companies which have not logged on is a direct outcome of many carrier's focus on every day operations which often do not enable them to concentrate upon the rapidly approaching regulation.
The new Safety project may begin in December and also will continue to be implemented throughout most of 2011. Federal, State, as well as Local Officials will continue to train and perfect the new system. December will certainly be a very busy month for the personnel of the FMCSA. The Agency's objective for December 2010 is to help to make the CSA data accessible to carriers and open to the public. In addition to making information obtainable, the FMCSA will certainly commence giving letters to companies whose information does not match current compliance requirements and identifying freight carriers which will probably be given field inspections.
Possibly the greatest problem of the project is that the FMCSA still does not have published requirements for precisely how the agency will determine safety fitness. The FMCSA will issue a suggestion for exactly how it decides to decide safety strength through the first half of the year. The Physical fitness criteria is a crucial element of the CSA Regulation which will serve to separate the Compliance Review from a carrier's safety status and add the requirements to the monthly performance data from the new Safety Management System.
The FMCSA recognizes that much concern exists in the driver and carrier communities. The FMCSA is not thinking about a public driver scorecard or rating/ranking of any sort. The Agency went on to explain it is not planning to issue mass driver suspensions and the Agency will not be entertaining the idea of plans to prohibit or minimize driver's capability to drive based upon on physical characteristics such as bodyweight, body mass index or neck size.
Though the FMCSA is certainly not restricting drivers based on actual physical fitness, there are very important reasons why companies ought to pay attention to their standing in the latest method. Presently there are a number of risks carriers experience when and if their fleets drop outside of government guidelines, while the FMCSA is being rolled out:
In addition to Federal Regulation, the actual dangers of having inadequate CSA scores in respect to their rankings.
Risk # 1) Shipper's Carrier selection. If a Carrier's scores tend to be jeopardized a Shipper, Manufacturer, Freight Broker or 3PL could possibly route their business to a different carrier with more suitable compliance scores. It is important to realize the significance of properly serving their Customers with superb service and compliance with federal regulation.
Risk #2) Availability of Reasonable Insurance Premiums. Insurance companies regularly review safety and compliance rankings as a basis for determining carrier insurance premiums. After December's availability of the new CSA reporting, it seems insurance companies will implement these scores as the benchmark for selecting rates. Non-compliance with these standards can inevitably result in increased premiums or absence of available premiums all together.
Risk #3) Claims payouts. Carriers with poor compliance scores normally pay greater Claims settlement values largely due to the fact the added care and safety taken with much more effective operations produces reduced claims rates.
Risk # 4) Inadequate Driver Environment. Excellent drivers will continue to seek companies having higher CSA Scores seeing that those companies with better importance paid on better scores will be more desired by Shippers.
Risk #5) Potential FMCSA Intervention. Skirting the line of compliance will continually place your company at risk of intervention or shut down by the FMCSA. This may cause employees and clients a like to feel much less confident about your ability to provide remedies for their needs as well as in your service overall.
Early data suggest that almost 20% of all truckers on the road tend to be in jeopardy of a FMCSA Intervention into their operations. The new equation with regard to examining safety compliance under the new regulation has identified that more than 1/5 of the carriers examined will be likely to get 'unsatisfactory' results; especially in the Fatigued Driver Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories. This sample of 60,000 carriers pointed out that the smallest fleets having less than five trucks saw risk of intervention grow from 10 to 15 percent, while the largest fleets with greater than 500 power units saw their risks decrease to 42 percent.
Driver stress and fatigue continued to be the largest cause for concern, while vehicle maintenance, as well as unsafe Driving were also seriously problematic categories. The crash indicator and unsafe driving BASICS reduced across the board specifically among large fleets. Looking at of preliminary Safety Improvement Categories began August 16, 2010. The CSA 2010 Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICS) are:
1. Driving Unsafely.
2. Driving Outside of Driving
3. Driver Health & Fitness
4. Driver Chemical Abuse
5. Maintenance of Vehicle
6. Cargo Regulation Violations
7. Crash Statistics
Carriers due date to preview their safety performance data and also deal with any inappropriate conduct that can lead to crashes and deaths on our roadways is on Dec 5, the national roll out of CSA2010.

Day 143 - Trip with consequences
Ouch, that will be trouble. Today I have used the open window and made a small trip. It was not long before Oliver was looking for me. So I ran home quickly... But Oliver has caught me and was waiting with an angry look. Since then he has not talked to me and looks bad. What should I do?
Autsch, das wird Ärger geben. Ich habe heute das offene Fenster genutzt und einen kleinen Ausflug gemacht. Es hat nicht lange gedauert, bis Oliver mich gesucht hat. Also bin ich schnell nach Hause gelaufen... aber Oliver hat mich erwischt und wartete schon mit einem bösen Blick. Seit dem hat er nicht mehr mit mir geredet und schaut böse. Was soll ich nur machen?
