""Over the past few years, new legal and regulatory requirements have caused corporations to adopt many new governance practices and to formalize previously informal practices. In developing and refining our practices during this period, we have been fortunate to build on a history of strong governance. We have sought not only to comply with new requirements, but to adopt best practices ensuring that we maintain the highest standards of ethics while building value for all of our stakeholders. The information, documents and policies described in the Corporate Governance area of our Web site represent both the key components of our corporate governance and the result of our continuing attention to governance matters. Those components include:


Board Composition
Board Committees
Corporate Governance Guidelines
Code of Ethics
Communications from Shareholders to the Board
Business Conduct Alert
Stock Ownership Guidelines""

(( Gevelbelettering voor Idexx Laboratories te Schiphol-Rijk, losse acrylox letters 8 mm dik op kleur, gemonteerd op een hoogte van ca. 8 m.


Acrylox Gevelletters

Als materiaal is gekozen een weersbestendige pvc soort, acrylox, in verschillende standaard kleuren en diktes leverbaar. Voor dit project hebben wij de letters los op de gevel gemonteerd met ca 15 mm afstand van de letters tot de muur.

Door de plaatsing op het pand is gebruik gemaakt van een hoogwerker zodat de montage vlekkeloos verloopt. Door middel van een boormal worden gaten in de wand geboord voor de paspennen van de losse letters.

Doordat de letters in een 'wind' hoek hangen hebben wij gezorgd voor een extra stevige bevestiging.

""From the Center
Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. discussed identity politics extensively in his book The Disuniting of America. Schlesinger, a strong supporter of the civil rights movement, argues that a liberal democracy requires a common basis for culture and society to function. In his view, basing one's politics on self-identifying as part of a marginalized group perceived to be outside of the mainstream of society causes this common basis to break down, and therefore works against creating real opportunities for ending this marginalization.

Schlesinger believes that movements for civil rights should aim toward full acceptance and integration of marginalized groups into the mainstream culture, not perpetuate that marginalization. Another critic of identity politics from the center is former Colorado governor Richard Lamm, who wrote an article in 2005 which was circulated on the Internet [3].

Identity Independence, as discussed on the Internet on a site of that name [4], means the right of a free people to choose their own identity and culture.

Forms of identity politics""

""Sensors
Inertial guidance system
The most conventional sensor. It tracks the current position and angle based on earlier position, and acceleration. Measurement of angular velocity is also critical, for attitude control systems that simulate frictional dampening to prevent oscillating corrections.
Orbital Gyrocompassing
Typically combined with an infrared horizon, a gyrocompass finds the perpendicular to the plane of the orbit and provides a yaw indicator.
Sun sensor
Another common sensor. This can be as simple as some solar cells and shades, or as complex as a steerable telescope.
Star tracker
Another common sensor. This is usually a small (1 inch) telescope mounted at a fixed angle to a rotating bearing. A photocell or solid-state camera arrangement sees the star. There are 57 bright navigatonal stars in common use. One of the most commonly used is Sirius (the brightest). However, for more complex missions entire starfield databases are used to identify position.
Earth horizon indicator
This instrument can detect certain wavelengths of emitted light from the 'limb' of the Earth's atmosphere just at the horizon. It can be a scanning or a staring instrument. Infrared is often used, which can function even on the dark side of the Earth. ""
