to be a part in a big away win. Just got a question.. Do you need to be a Red member for league cup games too? I'm not too far from Bradford so thought it would be a good first one to go to! It all depends, but most tickets do not go on general sale, and being a Red member is definitely a safer bet than not. However, should be "easy" finding tickets through Arsenal Tickets for that one. Name One thing I personally wonder about is the list of songs the away fans have. Would new away-match-goers just catch the songs as they fly by, or do they have it memorized beforehand from somewhere specific? As you would expect, I haven't attended a single football match in my life but I am still curious. | HI | HI | 3,063,247 |
doesn't come from a loving or responsible home. Jenny struggles with life and though she never really envies Ellie and her family, she longs to be a part of it. Ellie's realisation that not all families are the same, and not everyone is as lucky as her is a key theme throughout the book. Even later in the book when she is older, this idea that, through all life has thrown at her, she should still feel fortunate really holds true. The story, despite being fiction, feels so honest and true - there are elements that MUST be from Sarah Winman (the author)'s own life. Inspired by events in hers, others and indeed all of our lives, this is one book that I really found difficult to put down. I had to read on, I worried about the characters - I wanted to share their good times and bad. Comparisons with Mark Haddon I think are very fair (especially if you have read 'A spot of Bother')but also a very personal style of her own, I shall be looking forward to Sarah Winman's next book. You'll laugh and cry in equal measure and if you are as lucky as me, recognize some of your own family's dysfunctional brilliance! Firstly, let me say that I did enjoy this book, and I realise I'm in the minority in not thinking it is amazing.

women belong in the home, performing dull domestic tasks for the primary benefit of everyone other than themselves (and mainly their husband). Despite the fact that these dudes wouldn't devote even an tenth of their lives to it themselves, they're invested in outwardly maintaining the nobility of unpaid domestic work -- because ascribing false honour to drudgery is how you reinforce invisible social power. The thing is, women can choose those things if they want to. There's nothing more tedious than the status quo trying to pit stay-at-homes against workforce broads. But the fact is, these people aren't advocating for or defending a range of choices. How do I know that? Because if they were, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. 4. It's a science thing "Look, men and women are built differently. It's biological. Men are more visual, women are more emotional. That's why more men are in executive roles. It's about merit. If women were better, they wouldn't be so crap. I didn't make the rules." So goes the argument. Basically, it's the kind of pop science spouted by the readers of such noted academic journals as NW Magazine and the Herald Sun. Whenever you hear someone say, 'women are just better at washing up' or 'men are just better at being the leader of the free world', ask yourself this: would that sentence be as benign if we replaced gender with race?

Hell fire they might even be able to make a buck out of this cultural activity by sending it to Japan to help with the research. I'm not against the consumption of Whale meat or the use of Blubber for medical or beauty products, however the perpetuation of the story that it is either an event of cultural significance or for scientific research has to stop.

How to Find Authority Websites & Get Links From Them Links are easy to get, if you don't care where they come from or whether they'll actually help you. I'm literally besieged by emails offering cheap links. I can grab 100 one-way PR 4 links for $200 or less. I can also buy links from this or that domain hoarder who is happy to make a quick deal with me. I can participate in "safe" link networks where I'm assured that I will see an amazing increase in my rankings and traffic. These are not authority links. Authority links aren't easy to get. They are not $200 for 100 of them, I can assure you. So where are these elusive authorities, how do you identify them and, most importantly, how do you go about snagging a link from one of them?

It's not always even found on the first page, depending upon the day and the latest algorithmic changes. Certain niches tend to be spammier, too, with the top results being utter trash.

the arrogance and laziness of journalists have made the ABC disfunctional. peter of mitcham: R.Ambrose Raven: 14 Jun 2012 8:51:15am What of the ABC (and SBS) in this New-Capitalist-Consumerist world in which entertainment is ever more present but information is ever less so? "Some, like News 24 and the streaming services, are a very major financial investment for us" - it would be better were they quality as well. On the few occasions I've looked at it, ABC24 is shallow and mediocre - no intelligent collection or scrutiny, just infotainment diahorrea. Yet Radio National - exactly the reverse - is ever more cut. Far from the limited model forced on the BBC, and now also accepted by the ABC CEO and its Board, to have an excellent, independent, full-service public service broadcaster would seem especially important.

Enrol online now! Overview The First World War was a cataclysmic event. This course examines the international relations before 1914, how the conflict started, the countries who fought the war and their expectations, and assesses the long-term historical significance of the war. Description The First World War was a cataclysmic event in world history. It led to enormous loss of life and tremendous physical damage of towns and cities. This course examines the origins of this terrible conflict. Initially the course will examine the nature of international relations before 1914 and the politics, social structures and economies of the states which were the main participants in the war. Then the course will analyse the specific events which eventually pushed the world into an unprecedented international war. At the outbreak of war we will consider the expectations of the populations of the countries involved and the way in which the brutal reality of the conflict shattered these illusions. Finally we will assess the significance of the First World War in the history of the twentieth century. To what extent do we still live with the consequences of that human tragedy today?

The differences would be ones of the extent or effect of the influence, not necessarily the differences between the various religions: arguing about "relevant" texts in particular books of ancient poetry is neither here nor there when contrasted with the dichotomy between faith-based and reality-based decision making. Therefore, in a somewhat reductionist way, any event that winds up increasing the power of religious faith in a state's mechanisms (or even to continue to legitimize such faith through "moderation") might be seen as a net loss. [Lukewarm disclaimer: I, myself, do not necessarily whole-heartedly endorse this position (for instance, I believe that a reformed Islamic Courts system in Somalia might be an excellent method for the fixing intolerable humanitarian crisis there), but I recognize that it is a legitimate (and rather compelling, imho) argument to be made.] "an anti-theistic Sam Harris-esque critique would argue that any faith-based political power is inherently dangerous: In the modern age of overpopulation, environmental impact, and mass destruction technology, non-reality (i.e. "religious faith") based influence upon the levers of material power may constitute an "existential threat" in general." What little I've read of Sam Harris doesn't impress me too much. For one thing, his argument that one might have to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against a religious fundamentalist state with the Bomb seems sorta like the "ticking time bomb argument" multiplied by a million.

which are less than friendly to humans, to put it mildly.

An Unbraked A.I.s may attract equally deranged worshippers, manipulate unaware humans indirectly, or fake sanity to avoid suspicion.

1:21 am : I was reading this thread (now three years long!) and as Peter says, one has to look at EXACTLY how each plan's interest is calculated. The typical mortgage Amortization schedule is calculated once per month. If you add principal to a payment to reduce your loan balance, most, but not all, loans will recalculate an amortization schedule for the lower balance and the same number of payments. The HELOCs have quite a few ways of calculating interest, usually based on the prior months' average daily balance and applies the daily rate to each day's balance -- not unlike a credit card. So, if you were to transfer a sum of money from the HELOC to your mortgage at a favorable time of the month -- the 1st day of the mortgage month, and you delay as long as possible the paying of bills (changing their due dates, for example) but taking care to account for processing days so you don't earn late fees, the average daily balance can be held to as much as 60% below what the mortgage period balance is. You have to be very attentive for about a year until you get used to this system. One mistake will offset any gains you make for a month between the two interest calculation systems. The additional benefit, regardless of whether you gain inside the HELOC, is that those larger transfers early in a mortgage's life REALLY knock out the number of years the mortgage is | IP | IP DS | 63,662 |
Introvert leaders: Still waters run deep We have been made to believe that extroverts are the best leaders in the business world. Extroverts generally possess dominant alpha traits that give them leverage and visibility enabling them to get promoted and hired faster than other candidates. The general perception is that these individuals are effective, go-getters, motivators and loved by colleagues and subordinates alike. However, do the other traits of extroverts such as their endeavor to be the center of attention and to control discussions, their tendency to takeover tasks delegated to subordinates and their reserved cautious reaction to proactivity from further down the chain of command, foster a growth environment or are introverts better apt in some cases to lead? According to a survey conducted by HBR in 2006: "65% of corporate executives viewed introversion as a barrier to leadership". Yet, it is estimated that introverts represent one-third of the population. This is of significance and therefore deserves a deeper understanding of this personality trait in order to know how to react and work with introverts. In a world that is far from the individualistic society that was marked by stereotyping of extrovert characteristics as leadership traits (aggressiveness, confidence bordering on arrogance, charisma....), do these traits still hold in focus or are other "support" traits such as EQ and SQ needed? A study by Dr. Ronald E. Riggio published in 2011 found that when EQ was measured, extraversion was no longer an indicator of leadership. Extraverts who possess high skills | IN | IN IB | 3,720,688 |
Discretion is the better part of valor...and it is also a big part of a qui tam practice. In the last 18 months, there have a been a number of huge recoveries, including several settlements of more than one billion dollars. As a result, many lawyers have started to take an interest in qui tam practice and in false claims act litigation. This is a good thing, in my humble opinion (and indeed generating interest in qui tam in the legal community is one of the reasons I started this blog). Simply put, I think the more lawyers there are with an interest in qui tam (or any other area of practice for that matter) the more business there is out there for all of us, but that is a different topic for a different day. This uptick in interest in the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act and the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act (among other state false claims statutes) has caused a great many folks to try thier hand at evaluating qui tam cases. Today I want to talk about how I size up a potential qui tam case, and the types of things I look for.

Finance & Strategy: In September 2011, Monarch revealed its strategy when it cancelled its order for 6 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft , explaining that it intended to focus on scheduled services and short-haul routes rather than long-haul -- for which the 787 is suited. It is expanding of course as it opens up in East Midlands and Leeds/Bradford and this expansion includes the new service of scheduled ski flights to Europe in 2012/13. But it is clearly finding the air transport environment highly competitive, with an operating loss of 45m in the year to October 2011. In November 2011 it received a 75m injection from its private owners to boost its balance sheet and help launch 14 new routes (mainly from Leeds/Bradford) and add narrow-body jets to the fleet, which is now around 30 aircraft. The FT article is revealing -- it reports the CEO "wants passengers to regard the brand as a step above its low-cost rivals but as a cheaper alternative to full-service carriers". In the article, Douglas McNeill, an airline analyst with Charles Stanley, questions whether this niche actually exists. Clearly the pressure is on Monarch, with Ryanair posting healthy results for the first half of 2012 with a 477m profit, up 10%.

Gastroenteritis -- diarrhea caused by bacteria from our foods -- peaks in the summer but can occur all year. This is common all over southeast Asia, especially during the summer months as bacteria thrive in the heat. Expats can easily get gastro from street food vendors, but even 5-star restaurants aren't immune from this if the staff and cooks aren't using proper bathroom and food handling protocols. Pregnant women have the same risks of infection and should be especially choosy about where and what they eat, since a bad bout of "gastro", while usually not serious for mom, can sometimes cause serious problems for her baby. Most infectious causes don't directly affect your baby, but specific bacteria like listeria and salmonella can directly cross the placenta and cause harm. You should see your doctor quickly if you have more severe symptoms such as fever, bloody diarrhea, dehydration, or any changes in fetal movement. Fortunately, those more severe cases are not common, and most pregnant women can get through those uncomfortable days with simple home remedies and foods, as well as a few safe over-the-counter ("OTC") medicines. The most important goal is to stay hydrated, as you can quickly lose a lot of water from vomiting and diarrhea.

The Public Service serves our nation and serves the important client groups at the coal face that public servants need to serve and what we're also saying is we're looking for efficiencies in these areas. There are many private businesses that have grown robust balance sheets out of serving the public sector well and we expect that to continue. What we're doing here is targeting specific activities.

But it doesn't give them the right to therapies. This seems the wrong approach, particularly given concerns about over-prescription of medication in mental health. So we should re-write the NHS Constitution and create for citizens a new right -- for the first time -- to psychological therapies that help people recover from conditions like anxiety and depression. Currently there is money allocated in the NHS budget for this purpose, but reports suggest it is not always being spent on what it was intended for. This is a completely false economy. Wrong for patients. And wrong for the country. Talking therapies can help people and can save money, so they must be a NHS priority. And we need to look right across the board at how we can make parity of esteem real in practice. And we need to match parity of esteem in the NHS with an end to the artificial divide between physical and mental health services and ensure that they are properly integrated. As Andy Burnham has said, the commitment to proper integration of mental, physical and social care will run through Labour's whole approach to health care. We need to | SP | SP FS | 3,139,727 |

Book Description The Process of Parenting is a comprehensive introduction to parenting that describes the many ways parents and caregivers can translate their love and concern for children into effective parenting behavior. With a strong emphasis on the developmental process and on the changing nature of parent-children relationships over time, the book presents a wide range of theories and research with a focus on real-life applications. Because parents and children are distinct individuals, a problem-solving approach is emphasized that can help parents arrive at solutions that fit them, their children, and their life circumstances. Two basic tasks of parenting are emphasized as ultimate ends: creating close emotional relationships with children and supporting the development of children's full potential.

Apparently the police had stood by and watched whilst degenerate druggies pounded out repetitive beats at huge volumes and destroyed a local beauty spot. In fact the site had been scrupulously cleaned. The local crew, being far more conscientious than us sketchy fuckers from London, had even fenced off an area to protect a rare breed of flower.

shot-stopper. He's made mistakes though and he's very slow off his line (if off it at all). Lloris is so much more than a keeper. Sweeper-keeper is the tag and you'd think he's the perfect fit for AVB's system because Hugo can use his feet and has brilliant distribution. I'm scratching my head with this. Brad admitted in the summer he would probably play second fiddle to someone, so it's no big deal to him at the very least if he's dropped. Who's been Spurs' best signing this season? Not sure we made it. We've not replaced Modric and van der Vaart and I don't think we've signed a player AVB wanted 100%. Lloris is a great signing, hopefully we'll see that soon. However, we need a playmaker and we need a full-fledged 'striker'. Adebayor & the Africa Cup of Nations in the new year means we are shafted if Defoe gets injured. Vertonghen also looks like a brilliant signing, he's fantastic. Defends and is superb at running forward with the ball. Very cultured player. Dembele is also a beast.

electrolysis of aqueous and molten sodium chloride Information about the products formed by the electrolysis of sodium chloride, both molten and aqueous, is available in text books and on the Internet. Compare this information with the results from your first hand investigation. Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride The only ions present are sodium and chloride ions. Work out which electrode these ions will move towards when molten and predict what will happen to them. Will they gain or lose electrons? What will they form when this occurs? Electrolysis of an aqueous sodium chloride solution When a solution is placed in an electrolytic cell, a number of reactions is possible. A sodium chloride solution contains sodium ions, chloride ions and also water, so there is more than one possible reaction at each electrode. Remember that the higher the reduction potential, the more easily the substance is reduced (and thus the greater its oxidising power). The reduction potential of water is higher than the reduction potential of the ions of active metals, so water is often reduced rather than the active metal. Use this information to determine the products of this electrolysis and write suitable equations for the reactions. distinguish between the three electrolysis methods used to extract sodium hydroxide: mercury process diaphragm process membrane process by describing each process and analysing the technical and environmental difficulties involved in each process Mercury Cell A thin layer of mercury, flowing across steel, is the cathode.

that, the commission continued its work, trying to find a solution to this disturbing trend of more and more people accused of sorcery being murdered. Dr Eric Kwa is the secretary of the law reform commission and believes the simplest way around the upon be problem is to kill off the whole Sorcery Act. DR ERIC KWA: Because one of the conclusions that we have now agreed to is that this is a spiritual matter, law cannot deal with spiritual matters. It is very difficult to prove as evidence. DR ANDREW MOUTU: I think it is absolutely ridiculous. We will still kill people here, and I think the courts and the law reform commission must find a way to deal with sorcery bravely. SEAN DORNEY: The law reform commission wants sorcery to be left to the village courts which operate at the community level. The other argument used by the law reform commission is that those convicted of killing alleged sorcerers often get reduced sentences. DR ERIC KWA: It's a mitigating factor. Well we are saying, 'no, you kill someone, you must be caught for murder, wilful murder, attempted murder, grievous bodily harm or whatever it is, you must be caught on that.'

workaday and metaphorical, even magical.) Starting in season two, which slowed down the show's pace and amped up the black comedy and surrealism, Chase and his writers took The Sopranos to more tonally surprising places, to the point where it seemed to be channeling Stanley Kubrick, Todd Solondz ( Happiness ), Evelyn Waugh (especially The Loved One ), and other satirists. David Simon's The Wire started out as a straight-up police procedural about cops surveilling drug dealers in Baltimore's decaying inner city. In subsequent seasons, it added subplots about other city institutions. Some of these additions seemed imported from the documentaries of Frederick Wiseman ( High School, Basic Training, Public Housing ). Others evoked the mainstream liberal "problem" dramas that have been part of TV since the early sixties: series such as The Defenders and East Side, West Side , and more recently ER, Boston Public, and The West Wing . News reports and recent history were equally big (and intertwined) influences. I can't tell you how many times I opened up a newspaper during The Wire 's five-season run and happened upon a story of cop corruption or criminal stupidity or official malfeasance in government that reminded me of something I saw on the show. In addition to his core group of writers, Simon brought in some high-profile novelists from the world of crime fiction, including Dennis Lehane, George Pelecanos, and Richard Price.

Art Wolfe focuses on the dried earth, one rock, and a rock I never would have seen. His photography reminds us to focus on one part at a time or you'll miss everything.

HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE In North America the standard reference documents for electrical installations are the National Electric Code (NEC) for the USA and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) for Canada. Electrical Equipment used in Ordinary, Wet and Hazardous (or Classified) Locations must be 'listed' by an accredited approval agency for use in the intended location. The hazardous locations include areas in which flammable, combustible or ignitable substances may occur in hazardous amounts. The NEC and CEC codes allow two methods of categorising Hazardous Locations, which are Class and Division, and Class and Zone. Electrical Apparatus approved for use in Hazardous Locations must be categorised with an Equipment Class and suitable for a specified Division and Gas Group. Their classification is made in line with the amount of combustible materials as :- The major Approvals bodies authorised for investigation or assessment of electrical equipment include Underwriters Laboratory (UL) , Factory Mutual Inc (FM) & Canadian Standards Association (CSA) . In some cases, Electrical equipment may also need to meet certain Marine Standards and comply with the requirements of the US Coast Guard 14 CFR . It should be noted that the information provided here reflects the current position but since the NEC and CEC codes are being continuously reviewed and developed, there may be other changes in process which will affect some of the rules and regulations referenced herein which are understood to be correct at the time of going to print. | IN | IN IB | 402,920 |
the Napoleonic Wars (1793 to 1815), the Bank of England was forced to suspend the convertibility of its currency with gold and to produce a series of new forms of currency. Between 1797 and 1821, the period known as the 'restriction', new, primarily copper coins and, most importantly, inexpensively produced 1 and 2 notes were brought into circulation. The poor quality of these notes led to a spate of forgeries, which in turn led to a high number of prosecutions led by the Bank itself, for both forgery and uttering forged notes. You can search the Proceedings for cases of forgery, and the Associated Records for the Bank of England's records relating to many of these prosecutions between 1719 and 1821. Following the legal prohibition of most forms of trade tokens in 1817, and the collapse of many small provincial banks in the financial crisis of 1825 and 1826 (which helped to eliminate a wide range of competing forms of paper currency), British cash became more stable from the early 1830s. The death penalty for forging bank notes was changed to transportation (and later imprisonment) for life in 1832. At the same time, other financial instruments grew in ever greater complexity, opening the way to new forms of fraud and theft. Railway stock from the 1840s, and postal orders from 1881, took on many of the functions of currency, and were duly forged and stolen.

by his faith." "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." Questions for reflection What different perspectives have you encountered on the topic of evil and suffering in the Theology/Philosophy Department? Is there any aspect to these approaches that can be celebrated? Is there any aspect to these approaches that do not sit with a Scriptural understanding of the origins and consequences of evil? What solutions do these views provide to explain the existence of evil and/or suffering? What hope do these approaches provide, and what is it based on? How do these solutions weigh up against the life, mission, death, resurrection, ascension and coming of Jesus? Give particular examples. Which aspect of the Gospel would be compromised if you were to believe the competing claim to knowledge? What difference would that make? How does Jesus show his love for us in overcoming sin and death? How does that shape our Christian lives? How do you usually respond when you do not understand what the Lord is doing in your life? 1 . A theodicy is a response to the evidential problem of evil. One of the most common theodicies is Augustine?s theodicy, which was later strengthened by Aquinas and reiterated and defined in Plantinga?s formulation of the free-will defense refuting the logical problem of evil.

For over fifty years Rabbi Jacob Danglow occupied the same Melbourne pulpit, and he was one of Australia's best-known religious leaders. Always a strikingly handsome man, even in old age he retained his military bearing; no-one could be in any doubt but that this was an officer and a gentleman as well as a rabbi. Born in London in 1880, he was educated at Jews' College and at London University. A few years after his arrival in Australia in 1905 he gained the MA degree of Melbourne University. His first and only pulpit was the St Kilda Hebrew Congregation, which he served from 1905 to 1957. This was a prestigious, congenial, establishment congregation, counting many of the gentry of the Melbourne Jewish community amongst its membership. Danglow's Edwardian Englishness, palpable patriotism and ambassadorial talent brought him their unstinting affection and respect, though towards the end of his career there were times when he was somewhat out of touch with the changing movements and ideologies in Jewish life, especially political Zionism and the day school movement. In his early decades in Melbourne he pioneered the Chevra Kadisha and a range of other communal organisations, especially those concerned with youth -- particularly JYPA (the Jewish Young People's Association). But his parish was always Australia-wide. He became a well-known figure in public causes of many types, and his innate dignity, sound judgement and wide contacts made him a highly effective Jewish spokesman. He became a personal friend of national leaders ranging from Archbishop | IN | IN DP | 229,569 |

text as well, that part is what made me frown. posted by rollick at 2:48 PM on August 17, 2010 The problem is Dunning-Kruger. Dunning-Kruger doesn't say that people who're bad at something think they are as good as pros, it simply says that they rate their skills higher than they really are. Eg, if I decided to have a go at neurosurgery, I might pop open the cranium and get to work, and afterwards think I hadn't done that terrible a job, and patients die on the table all the time, after all. But I'd still be aware that actual doctors were better at it than me. Dunning-Kruger doesn't say I'd think I was as good as them. The real problem is that too many people don't treat design as something needing skill and training as surgery does, they treat it as something that anyone can do, if only they have Photoshop and a bit of common sense. Hell, doesn't my cousin's son have Photoshop?

take you there. Jack: 14 Jun 2012 9:49:47am The ABC is the most trusted because historically it just reported actual news. It waited on "scoops" until actually fully verified. With social media and forums however in abundance - the ABC "news" is now being distorted with opinion pieces. And every time thre is one hundreds of the labor brainwashed jump in like Rudd used to - to say "me too". Give it time and ABC will lose the trust. If it isn't slipping already. ursus augustus: 14 Jun 2012 9:42:59am Well the answer to that is pretty obvious, journalists have about a 10% approval rating, down with politicians and used car salesmen. "Most trusted media organisation" might be put along side "favourite bank robber" for proper context. To be fair, the ABC covers a lot of niche areas where politics does not really come into the mix in any significant way. It is in news and CA that the groupthink, bias and the narrow bandwidth reporting and array of voices are clearly evident. That Mark Scott does not 'get' it is symptomatic that he is part of the problem either through a shared agenda, stupidity or cowardice in the face of his mob in my opinion. Peter: And yet enquiry after enquiry finds that the ABC is not biased or biased towards the right (coalition). Meantime the mainstream private media are all to the right.

easier for a customer, at the end of contract to go from say Vodafone to O2 or to go from iPhone to Android? Now move the clock forward 10 years. Where Android and Windows Phone become more like iPhone, and convergence across PC, TV, Phone, Tablet, Music Store, etc is prevalent on all three ecosystems and everyone has smartphones, and WiFi++ is very available, and more spectrum (e.g. analog TV spectrum) is release for bid, ****AND**** all "cellular" calls are really Voice over IP over LTE/LTE++. What can users possibly want from operators besides a good data connection at a low/competitive price? A subsidy, maybe. Either way, operators will be nothing other than pipe providers. And if they get out of line, Apple with $500B in the bank and Google with $200B in the bank can launch a "top markets" mobile data service. I'm not predicting this will happen, because it won't be needed. Operators will compete to provide data to smart mobile devices, just like gas stations compete to provide gasoline. Yes, Tomi is right. Spectrum is a finite resource and expensive. So is Oil. Telecom networks are hard to build. So is a petroleum distribution. In the end, consumers are more loyal to the car brand (Mercedes, Toyota, etc) than to the gasoline brand. That doesn't mean there is not money to be made by operators. Exxon makes a ton of money, just like VW. It just means that operators have to compete on pennies/GB, just like oil | IN | IN | 3,166,463 |

participation in these meetings. One of the interesting things historically about the Member and Stakeholder survey is that the results have been delivered at the annual meeting, which is in the early part of the year, but it comes after we have actually done our budgeting and planning for that year. Recognizing that, the EC has decided to be recalibrating or realigning the survey so that its result will be available immediately before the coming planning cycle. In fact, the next survey is going to be not two years after the last, but it's going to be 18 months after the last. It will be launched in March 2012 at the Delhi meeting. It will be conducted over the following six months and reported to you in a year's time, next August. Don't be surprised if the survey seems to come around a little more quickly this time, that's exactly what's happening, so that we can use the results more immediately, in this case for planning for 2013. Then, of course, from that point on, we'll be back onto a two-year cycle for the survey.

bible study leader, who's a closeted homosexual, but . . . Wait, why am I lying to you? You're not a counterfeiter. Sorry; old habits die hard. Here's the truth: I was trapped. And I was definitely wearing matching denim, but it was a disguise. I do not own a minivan or a wedding ring. I've never eaten at Tavern on the Green. And I wasn't afraid; I'd been locked inside filthy Canal Street stalls before. It was part of my job description as a spy. My employer was Holmes Hi- Tech, a private- investigation firm that's now defunct (otherwise I wouldn't write this chapter; I may have been a spy, but I'm no rat). Our clients were Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Rolex, Polo, and other luxury- goods purveyors protecting their trademarks from the sale of illegal knockoffs. New York City's Chinatown is one of the biggest counterfeiting centers in the world. So even though Customs, the police, and the FBI are responsible for busting the illicit trade, a multibillion- dollar industry flourishes regardless, leaving a niche plenty big for our small, spunky Midtown office.

Priroda was the final module to be added to Mir, and it contained a Canadian experiment facility, the Microgravity Isolation Mount (MIM). This facility allowed experiments to be carried out in the microgravity of space without being affected by movements of astronauts or equipment on Mir. MIM is one of many Canadian experiments that have flown on the shuttle, Mir, and the International Space Station (ISS).

IAS39, which has already sparked disagreements between the IASB and EU, will require companies to reflect all derivatives at fair value in their financial statements. These instruments, however, are extremely difficult to identify, let alone quantify, and companies are battling to find a method that accurately values derivatives. 'We are expecting a long bedding-in period for IAS39. Companies will be checking if derivatives were properly priced. There will be a lot of looking back and some level of restatement,' said Sue Harding, managing director of Standard & Poor's credit market services. Mark Vaessen, CEO of KPMG's international financial reporting practice, said it was surprising how many businesses were affected. 'It was mainly financial services businesses that were expected to experience impacts from IAS39, but business in other sectors such as manufacturing have also been affected,' Vaessen said. 'Restatements are a possibility. This is not a small changeover and there will be glitches.' Vaessen added that companies were investing 'enormous amounts' of money and had trained 'thousands' of staff as they worked on establishing a method for valuing derivatives. Harding said that analysts would be relying on companies to unpack what methods were being used to value derivatives. 'There are so many policies for valuing derivatives and we are going to need companies to explain what policies they are using,' she said.

his scorn on the heels of a 49-6 debacle at Utah, describing the effort as "pitiful" and "horrible" and pledged to spend the coming week "working on effort." Wilson seemed to be one of the guys -- given his All-American status on an otherwise obscure roster, perhaps the guy -- that Leach wanted to make an example of. In the spring, Leach openly criticized Wilson's effort and periodically demoted him to third-string; by midseason, the relationship had deteriorated to the point of at least one open clash over Wilson's effort during a practice. Although he still leads the team by far in receptions (52), yards (813) and touchdowns (5), Wilson's production was nowhere near his prolific sophomore pace, and he began his last two games on the bench. That's what we actually know. Hopefully the rest of the story (as opposed to the Adam James affair at Texas Tech) will emerge in coherent, well-reported fashion that at least allows reasonable people to agree on a set of basic facts, even if they interpret them differently.

both wet and dry. Like hair, they are covered with overlapping scales that remain from the cells they are composed of. Wool fibers absorb water and swell, trapping it. This explains why wool fabric is slow to dry and why it is unique in textile fibers for making garments that are warm even when they are wet. See if your library has any books on textiles and textile fibers. I've got a book I picked up at a rummage sale that is the text for a community college course in textile science, and the description of how synthetic and natural fibers are prepared, spun and woven is very interesting. Developments in the past few decades have made some surprising changes from the straightforward mechanization of techniques that go back for millennia. For example, weft fibers can be spun into thread by air currents as the fabric is woven in sealed looms, and non-woven textiles with a wide range of properties are becoming more common for both traditional and innovative uses. A nylon shirt will dry faster than a cotton one because it holds less water after being washed. You might want to experiment with weighing samples of various materials before and after being immersed in water and wrung, squeezed or spun out.

In Cancun at the international climate change summit, negotiators exchange texts and proposals on how to cut greenhouse gas emissions. But 13 years after the Kyoto Summit, little progress has been made in reaching the political breakthrough needed. In the surreal political bubble where UN texts are thrashed out, it sometimes seems like there is all the time in the world.

But many of the people who take snow and ice as affirmation for a policy of doing nothing have become confused between trends and events.

Throughout 2010, high temperature records have been broken in country after country and this year will be one of the warmest on record.

well. "It's a great honour to captain the team and, hopefully, it will be a successful night for us." Regular skipper Gerrard was Rooney's mentor in his early England days and he got a mention in despatches too. Rooney said: "With England, Steven Gerrard has certainly been an inspiration in my career. As I was growing up, I saw his passion and desire to play for Liverpool and England and that's fantastic." Roo has worn the England armband before, in the 1-0 friendly loss to Brazil in Doha three years ago. This is the first time he has skippered his country in a competitive international, although it seems odd to label a match against San Marino -- the world's bottom-ranked team at 207 -- as being more competitive than playing Brazil. But this is a World Cup qualifier and must be seen as more important. Rooney admitted: "I have captained United a few times in Champions League and different stuff and I think it's a great responsibility for me. "I feel I've matured as a player, learned the game better and have a different style. "Whatever the manager asks me to do, I can do it. Hopefully, I can help the players and myself."

2010 at 3:08 pm What is the evidence that taxes payable in fiat currency are necessary for the public's acceptance of the same fiat currency for all other purposes? During the Civil War, The Legal Tender Act of 1862 "authorized the issue of $150 million in Treasury notes, known as Greenbacks. In contrast to Confederate paper, however, Congress required citizens, banks, and governments to accept Greenbacks as legal tender for public and private debts, except for interest on federal bonds and customs duties". http://www.taxanalysts.com/museum/1861-1\\... The obligation for citizens to pay State taxes in US Notes and the obligation for the States to accept those notes for tax payments anchored US Notes as legal tender. However, Tsy would have had a better handle on inflation, and kept US Notes at par with gold dollars, if it could have drained US Notes out of the economy by accepting them for payment customs duties (a large fraction of federal revenue). As is typical in wartime, inflation was high, but not disastrously so because Tsy was able to reduce inflationary pressure with a number of new taxes, including the US's first income tax. As it happens, both Congress and Tsy preferred a federal real estate tax but constitutional issues lead them to follow the example of Britain's income tax system. Lincoln's government did about as competent a job managing public finance as anyone in that era could have. Davis's Confederate Government could not have done a worse job.

Holby City: Is this something else that might require a doughnut? ( Series 14, ep.50 ) The main action this week was in AAU and Keller, with Darwin as this week's comedy relief. I never thought I'd hear myself say that. To the hurly burly of AAU first, and the hot news is that Luc's camper van was clamped. The other hot news was that Wolfie had the chance of a nice job in Brighton -- now Luc's back, there's no job for Wolfie at Holby. This was just as well, because Luc was noticing some troubling things about Wolfie. For one thing, he's hardly ever seen without having Nurse McKee attached to his face, which has got to be awkward and inconvenient, not least for the patients. For another thing, he had trembly hands. Again, not something to inspire patient confidence, and also a tell-tale sign of Camoxidan addiction. Luc did what any self-respecting maverick doctor would do, and covertly took a sample of Wolfie's hair -- or should we call it pelt -- from his jacket while Wolfie wasn't wearing it, and had it tested. This is not technically legal, but who cares when it came up with the evidence that Wolfie has been full of Camoxidan for at least months. This explains the trembly hands and the fact that he can't put a pressure bandage on to save his life. Or, more accurately, to save someone else's life.

They are somewhat passive about the future. They absorbed a lot of the Fukuyama End of History rhetoric and took it to heart. They are also for some reason quite anti-democratic. They don't believe inequality is is a particularly important problem, and they think that people should be rewarded purely meritocratically based on the quality of their genes or the economic value added by their personal achievements. They disdain unions, broad-based social solidarity, sharing and national camaraderie, but do believe in spreading personal liberty. They have read lots of Hayek, and consequently don't believe in the capacity of human politics to plan or organize anything substantial. But they think that what problems remain for humanity can only be solved by maintaining the incentives for markets to tackle them. Again unlike the generations older than them and younger than them, they believe greed is on the whole good, and don't approve of people being criticized for it.

Hermes is offered by this writer who has spent many years contemplating, and proving, its content. My intent is only to aid those whose inner being responds to the tablet's song. Please understand that there are as many interpretations as there are interpreters, but there is only one Tablet. Did Hermes write it? Was there such a person, after all? We cannot be sure, nevertheless, the words are before us and they resonate with the truth and power of their meaning. Each person who is drawn to the Emerald Tablet will have their own ideas and understanding of it, as it should be. Hopefully, some of these ideas will be shared so that everyone may benefit. No one person, in my opinion, can comprehend all that these words contain. - Cohn de Toraeke.

repeat all the remedial massage that they have already been taught? Each year I train many ISRM members, most of whom are LSSM grads, and without fail, each one tells me that they have benefited by learning the more advanced soft tissue treatment techniques, subjective assessments, strapping/taping etc, as it has meant that they can confidently go out and treat soft tissue injuries better than before. Next year in London all of the students booked onto my bridging programme are ISRM members. This is not to say that they were no good before, because they come on with great skills, in fact, we are pretty much limiting our bridging programmes to ISRM members, because they are so well trained. Alan A well respected colleague said, when her organisation was getting slated by its sports massage members for not being able to join the sports therapy register "these people want the status of being a sports therapists, but choose the easy route of sports massage, as they don't want to put in the hard work that training as a sports therapist involves ". That is a generalisation, but there are so many people doing the most basic of training and then claiming to be able to fix all.

a matter of focusing on the subject depending on how near or far away it is from you using the main central focussing wheel: If the diopter adjustment ring is on the right barrel, start by shutting your right eye and leaving your left eye open (do the opposite if it is on the left barrel) - If you prefer, you can also just cover the end of the barrel with your hand. If the diopter is located on the central focusing wheel, refer to your manual to establish which barrel it affects, but it is usually the right one. Keeping your eye shut, use the center knob to focus on an object about 8 - 10 meters away (approx 30ft) until it becomes sharp. Open your right eye. Next, shut your left eye and leave your right eye open Now look at the same object and turn the diopter ring until you are also clearly focused on it.

Don't shell out on the beach PESTER power can add 200 PER CHILD to a beach break, shock new figures show. The latest Post Office Beach Barometer tots up the cost of those little items you end up shelling out for. More than one in 20 families spend more than 200 per child by giving in to demands for beach toys, ice creams and activities. And on average parents admitted forking out almost 80 per child on beach holiday extras they hadn't budgeted for. Eighty-seven per cent of parents paid out for kids' extras, also including fizzy drinks, pedalos, water parks and beach gear such as buckets and spades. The Barometer shows a beach basket of extras is cheapest at Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, at 47.93. Alcudia (Majorca), Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol (Spain), Portugal's Algarve and Corfu (Greece) are also cheaper than Brighton. The priciest European beach destination was Vende in France -- its 96.28 total double that of Bulgaria's Sunny Beach. Taking an hour's pedalo or kayak ride twice during a week's holiday provides cheap entertainment in Bulgaria, Majorca and the Algarve (under 16 each for two hour-long rides) -- but costs almost double that in Brighton.

to the compressed data. Another factor to be aware of is how well the encryption algorithm can cope with errors in the backup media. When using AES with CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) mode a single bit-error in the encrypted stream will cause the entire 256-bit block containing the error and the following block to be indecipherable. After those two blocks the decoder should be able to recover and continue decrypting the data although these two bad blocks could severely affect how well the system can recover files from the decrypted stream. Key Management You must bear in mind that with encryption the key is everything. If you start writing encrypted backups for a month or so, then lose they key you were using - then all of othat backup data is useless. Don't even think about trying to decode it without the key. So in this respect you must keep your key data just as secure as you would your backup media. Print out the key data on paper and store it in the company safe - and maybe an offsite secure location as well. If you have a very long key file, then save it to a number of different types of media (CD-ROM, USB drive, floppy disk) and store them somewhere safe.

SimCity and Color TV suggest a modern type of distraction, and perhaps avoidance to growing in responsibility and love. And the father who sold his dream to provide for the family's need, seems to call a man to die to his identity in things and talents for a greater love and faithfulness, no? Does it say "I hear the fathers cry in (or and) the softest sigh..." instead of "farthest cry"? Love was what kept the mother alive when her "fathers" had done something that had made her want to commit suicide. The mother's husband sold his guitar (Gibson 335) and gave up his dream of playing music just so they could pay for the electricity (the electricity of the mothers life and their marriage as well as the electricity bills).

different to those of their previous illness. Also in support for an iatrogenic cause is the finding that nine patients suffering from prolonged withdrawal symptoms, 5-42 months after stopping benzodiazepines, did not have psychophysiologial reactions characteristic of either anxiety or conversion hysteria but, conversely, were hard to distinguish from a normal control group (Higgitt et al., 1990). Some, though not all, patients with prolonged withdrawal problems develop significant depression typically within the first 3 months of abstinence (Olajide and Lader, 1984). However, the prolonged withdrawal syndrome and return of anxiety probably occur commonly together. Although the underlying mechanisms of benzodiazepine dependence are still not entirely understood, research in animals points to the clinical potential for the benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil (Ro 15-1788) to reverse benzodiazepine dependence and tolerance and prevent withdrawal (Whitwam, 1988). Administration of flumazenil reverses tolerance and dependence to benzodiazepines (Gonsalves and Gallager, 1985) but precipitates recognizable withdrawal symptoms . However, if given during chronic treatment flumazenil can, by similarly reversing tolerance, prevent subsequent withdrawal syndromes in primates (Gallager, Heninger and Heninger, 1986) and in rats (Baldwin, Hitchcott and File, 1990). One explanation for this is the antagonism and depletion of an endogenous benzodiazepine receptor ligand with inverse agonist and thus anxiogenic activity by the antagonist flumazenil (Baldwin, Hitchcott and File, 1990). However, levels of the proposed 'anxiety peptide' ligand associated with diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI) were not found to be increased by the administration of diazepam in rats (Ball et al., 1987).

this be done? Scientists and environmentalists could imagine a whole range of potential solutions, from developing alternative energy sources to expanding nuclear power to simply increasing energy efficiency. STEPHEN H. SCHNEIDER, Stanford University: The first major thing to do is to get efficiency improved. We are not anywhere near as efficient as we could be. We don't all have the best motors, the best light bulbs and the most efficient cars and industrial processes. We're not perfect. And therefore, if climate policy forced us to be more efficient, we actually would be replacing inefficient technologies with more efficient ones that would cost us less money to buy them than the money we're saving in fuels. NARRATOR: A lot of energy is simply wasted. If we made our energy go further, we would need less and therefore emit less greenhouse gas. JONATHAN G.

A certain kind of dream (one involving surprising juxtapositions) does seem to be closely associated with REM sleep, but dreaming and REM sleep are in no way synonymous. This distinction between dreaming , which is a subjective state , and REM sleep, which is a state of the brain , is fundamental. In other words, dreaming is a phenomenon that can be described only qualitatively, by the dreamer himself or herself, in an account that often involves some distortions, whereas REM sleep can be subjected to precise physiological measurements, in particular by means of its EEG trace . It turns out that counting sheep isn't really that much of a help in falling asleep -- it's more of a distraction.

In 1959, a disc jockey in New York stayed awake for a week as a fundraising stunt for a charity. The researchers who monitored him closely during this experiment found that he soon began to have hallucinations, and then became so paranoid that he refused to answer their questions. Dr William C. Dement, an important sleep researcher, used himself as the subject of a sleeplessness experiment. | IN | IN IB | 554,742 |
