most of the proposals that were submitted to the congress resolutions committee carried a central theme . this theme emphasized the strengthening of our discipline throughout the world , but especially in those geographic areas where communication , training , and facilities related to mycology are inadequate for modern sustained work and service . with these problems in mind , your committee on resolutions proposes the following statements for approval in this plenary session and for transmittal both to the international mycological association and to the international association for lichenology as well as , where appropriate , to other international scientific organizations whose support is solicited , at a minimum : the international union of biological sciences ; the united nations educational , scientific and cultural organization ; the united nations food and agriculture organization ; the united nations environment programme ; and the world health organization .
the congress urges the international mycological association , regional and national societies , and each mycologist to take action to ensure that the importance of fungi ( including lichen - forming fungi and yeasts ) is more widely appreciated in schools and universities , amongst other scientists , and at the political level .

the nomenclature committee for fungi is a subsidiary of the international botanical congress structure . it is installed under the auspices of the international association for plant taxonomy as the professional mechanism for discussing and voting on mycology proposals related to the international code of botanical nomenclature ( icbn ) . senior mycologists who compose the committee are charged with considering all proposals that involve the status and usage of the names of fungi under the rules of the icbn . their decisions and recommendations may reach formal publication and subsequent action at botanical congresses . current officers are vincent demoulin , chairman , and lorelei norvell , secretary .

initially , following the organization of the international mycological association in 1971 , the ima had been assigned a relatively minor niche as a commission of mycology in the division of botany in iubs in 1973 . the rank held no direct voice in the governance of the iubs , neither voting rights nor direct funding support . the ima executive considered the situation to be most unsatisfactory , actually unacceptable , in terms of ima’s broad representation and activities at both the regional and the international level .

rumblings outside the general mycological community began to be heard in this pre - imc - 1 period . plans to create an international entity such as the ima , which would represent all of the numerous branches of mycological activity , were widely known through meetings of the british mycological association , the mycological society of america ( msa ) , and similar regional groups .
the closing ceremony began with a report on the congress by secretary - general tubaki . the resolutions committee report was read and approved by the general assembly members . final greetings and expressions of gratitude were added by imc - 3 chairman hiratsuka , vice - chairman iwata , international mycological society president subramanian , international association for lichenology president m . e . hale , and incoming ima president j . webster .

hi i haven ' t investigated on the capsules , but at the start of the year , i wanted to get convertible capsule which could be used in the car and taken out to put in the peg stroller , but they didn ' t sell them here and couldn ' t even be sent from the u . s . , in the end i rang the peg distributor here and found out that they didn ' t sell them here because they didn ' t meet the australian safety standards . if you are desperate , you might be able to import one through the shopthestates website . i got the distributors no . from babies galore . maybe you can give them a call to see if they bring the one you want to australia . you might be lucky hth
we fired up photoshop and starting experimenting with some layouts . peg wanted a bright , clean template with plenty of white space and clear , beautiful typography . we landed on proxima nova soft , a variation one of our favorite typekit fonts . we used a palette of pastels to indicate what section a user was in ( baby , toy ) and to spice up other page headers with randomly - loaded colors from that palette .
features , for example , is a content type that’s added separately . since not every product will offer the same set of features , peg needed the ability to piecemeal the features for each product . to save them time , so they don’t have to enter the full set of features each time for each product , we set ‘features” as their own channel of content , and set it to be relatable to each product , from the product admin page :
michele perego adds : “in italy and brazil alone , our market share places us among the absolute leaders . however , we sell in around 80 countries , and in all of these we have had to learn to bend to the needs of the distributors or representatives , whom we listen to very carefully . we have an extensive production capacity , with 750 employees in italy and another 750 abroad , and to retain it we must be able to respond to every need and development reported . this is an absolute necessity . ”
unfortunately , you wouldn ' t be able to import and use a capsule if it doesn ' t meet australian standards , it would be illegal . the australian standards are very strict ( among the best in world for safety ) and unfortunately that rules out most of the very cool looking european all - in - one systems . i too fell in love with the peg stuff , alas i had to be satisfied with just the pram ! kim this message was edited by kimmaree on friday , 15 july 2005 @ 7 : 41 pm
returning to the italian market , we asked which lines and products have been most successful over the past two to three years . lucio perego replied : “the modular system designed with the easy drive chassis , which was launched three years ago and which features ball - bearing wheels and a solid handle , was very well received by consumers . with regard to high chairs , the tata mia was particularly popular due to the fact that it encloses three functions in a single article – reclined cradle , high chair and rocker – and is approved for use from birth . it should be noted that this success was achieved despite the article’s high price positioning .

s line of strollers and carriages as well . the canadian subsidiary later developed something of a specialty in the chain - driven market , becoming the supplier of these systems to the company
this led to a significant expansion of the canadian production facility , which moved to pickering , in ontario , in 1980 . from an initial 30 , 000 square feet of production space , an addition to that plant doubled it in size in 1987 . by the late 1990s , the canadian subsidiary

urltoken gives you the ability to cite reference entries and articles according to common styles from the modern language association ( mla ) , the chicago manual of style , and the american psychological association ( apa ) .
within the “cite this article” tool , pick a style to see how all available information looks when formatted according to that style . then , copy and paste the text into your bibliography or works cited list .
because each style has its own formatting nuances that evolve over time and not all information is available for every reference entry or article , urltoken cannot guarantee each citation it generates . therefore , it’s best to use urltoken citations as a starting point before checking the style against your school or publication’s requirements and the most - recent information available at these sites :
most online reference entries and articles do not have page numbers . therefore , that information is unavailable for most urltoken content . however , the date of retrieval is often important . refer to each style’s convention regarding the best way to format page numbers and retrieval dates .
in addition to the mla , chicago , and apa styles , your school , university , publication , or institution may have its own requirements for citations . therefore , be sure to refer to those guidelines when editing your bibliography or works cited list .
we’ve loved working with this international company ( they make strollers , high chairs , and other baby products , as well as riding toys for children ) . with a long , family - owned history with italian roots , they’ve expanded to a headquarters in the us ( right here in northeast indiana ! ) and canada as well as their global headquarters in italy .
our goal was clear : take that extensive data requirement , integrate it into a world - class content management system , and make the transition seamless .
as the project progressed , that design evolved , of course . but we’re pleased with how true to the original design we’ve been able to stay :
you should have seen our ideatorium once we started on this strategy — piecing out each type of content entry , and relating them together was a feat ! we’re happy with the results ; using playa , one of our favorite ee plugins , we can easily relate multiple data points together . for example : from each product page , you can relate videos , related products , accessories , parts , manuals , blog posts and features .
using matrix , another great add - on for ee , our clients can easily add information into tables without needing to mess with confusing html . users can add and rearrange rows of data with a simple click or drag . for example :
this is just a sample of the dynamic , intelligent content in this site . we can’t post it all here ( and we don’t want to give away the recipe to our secret sauce ! ) , but here are a few more features we’re excited about :
smart fabric collections — when the client adds a fabric swatch , they can mark it as “current” , or active . this allows them to maintain their active fabric collection without needing to delete old , inactive data
dynamic caching — you may notice that this site is blazing fast . that’s because we’re controlling caching for the large amount of content the browser is loading . it’s optimized for any internet connection , from the fastest fiber pipe to the slowest pre - 3g data network .

the u . s . consumer product safety commission announced a voluntary recall of 223 , 000 popular strollers following the death of an infant eight years ago and the near strangulation of another in 2006 .
the heads of the two infants became entangled between the tray and seat . but officials didn ' t link the cases to a specific brand and model of stroller until recently .
in 2004 , a 6 - month - old california boy died after his head was trapped between his stroller ' s seat and the tray . in the 2006 incident , a 7 - month - old new york girl nearly died from similar circumstances .
entrapment and strangulation can occur , especially to infants younger than 12 months of age , when a child is not harnessed ,
the cpsc said .
an infant can pass through the opening between the stroller tray and seat bottom , but his / her head and neck can become entrapped by the tray . infants who become entrapped at the neck are at risk of strangulation .
manufactured between january 2004 and september 2007 , in a variety of colors , the strollers were sold nationwide at retail outlets , according to the cpsc .
since the stroller models involved in tuesday ' s recall were manufactured , newer models have been developed that don ' t pose the same risks .
this recall is part of a larger effort by cpsc to address fatalities that occurred prior to new and better stroller standards being in place ,
cpsc spokesperson patty davis told cnn .
in 2008 , a voluntary industry standard went into place addressing the height of the opening between the stroller ' s tray and the seat bottom .
because used strollers are a popular item on many auction and aftermarket websites , customers are advised to check the model number used stroller they buy to make sure it isn ' t part of a recall .

with regard to the car safety line , although we are relatively new to the sector , we have been able to achieve a prestigious positioning , also due to having introduced the isofix system with a compatible base capable of accommodating two car seats from different groups , thus prolonging its use to four years and making the purchase better value . the stroller pliko mini was very well received both in italy and abroad – even though it has to face considerable competition from similar asian products – and has been a source of great satisfaction for us . consumers appreciate a product when they recognize its practicality .
