US court allows PAL to access financing
Philippine Airlines (PAL) said on Friday it won a reprieve from a United States bankruptcy court, allowing it access to immediate financing to keep operations going.
PAL said the approval was an “important step forward in PAL’s recovery plan,” which includes the crucial elimination of about $2.1 billion in debts under a Chapter 11 process.
PAL said the the New York court’s decision allows it to access the first $20 million of $505 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing, a special type of fundraising for companies undergoing this type of restructuring.
“This is a significant step in our recovery plan and supports our ongoing operations to continue serving our valued customers and connecting the Philippines with the world,” Gilbert Santa Maria, president and chief operating officer of PAL, said in a statement on Friday.
PAL’s DIP financing would be backed by its owner, billionaire Lucio Tan, and lenders.
Access to fresh funds was needed as the carrier’s cash reserves recently fell to “dangerously low” levels due to the collapse in air travel during the pandemic, PAL counsel Debevoise & Plimpton LLP argued in a Sept. 3 filing to the Chapter 11 court.
They said the initial $20-million drawdown would help PAL continue operations “beyond the third full week in September.”
They said the carrier would also need additional funding because it was “projected to have negative operating cash flow over the coming four to six months.”
PAL expects to exit the Chapter 11 process within the year and even achieve operating earnings starting 2022, lawyers said in a separate filing.
Moreover, PAL said that the Chapter 11 court’s approval of the so-called first-day motions allows it to operate regular flights, pay suppliers as part of daily operations and honor Mabuhay Miles rewards, benefits, travel vouchers and refund requests.
PAL will also continue to pay all employee wages, compensation and benefit obligations through the Chapter 11 process.
“The combination of our substantial creditor support and the court’s approvals enables us to progress toward an expedited emergence and full recovery,” Santa Maria said.
“As travel demand increases and restrictions ease, we continue to increase domestic and international flights, while maintaining the safety and health of our passengers and employees,” he added.
PAL pursued a prearranged Chapter 11 process in the United States to ensure its survival during the pandemic. Prior to the filing, PAL had overall assets of $4.1 billion and $6.07 billion in liabilities with cash and its equivalents amounting to $31.9 million, it told the US court.

Adjusting to Random Demands of Patient Care: A Predictive Model for Nursing Staff Scheduling at Naval Medical Center San Diego
NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA
Pagination or Media Count:
In this thesis, time series methods were used to forecast the monthly number of nursing Full Time Equivalents FTEs required to meet patient care needs at Naval Medical Center San Diego. In order to capture both patient census and patient acuities, the monthly total required workload hours given by the Res-Q system was used. The monthly number of nursing FTEs was calculated by dividing the total monthly workload hours required by 168 hours per DoD 6010.13-M. The Holt-Winters time series models were fit using both Excel and JMP software packages. Using three years of historical data to fit the models, the number of nursing FTEs that would be required every month for the fiscal year 2008 for the entire hospital was forecasted with a Mean Absolute Percentage Error MAPE of 17.83. Fitting the model to data starting from December 2005, to eliminate historical anomalies, further reduced the MAPE to 8.80. The overall model was, subsequently, partitioned into five sub-models, one for each of the five nursing units, reflecting the hospitals patient and nursing staff mixes. Again after adjusting for missing data points and outliers, the monthly number of nursing FTEs required for 4West, Adult ICU, Surgical, Medical, and Medical Oncology were forecasted with MAPEs of 20.77, 11.42, 13.63, 13.85, and 6.98, respectively.

More than $55,000 in grants has been awarded to provide innovative stormwater solutions at 15 residential homes in the ACT and region.
Senator for the ACT, Zed Seselja, and ACT Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Mick Gentleman, today announced the successful grant recipients who will implement best practice solutions for managing and treating stormwater on their block.
“As part of the H2OK: Keeping our waterways healthy education program, the Australian and ACT Governments are committed to improving water quality in the ACT and wider Murray-Darling Basin,” Senator Seselja said.
“We know contaminated run-off from our streets and blocks is the biggest source of water pollution, which is why it is so important for people to do what they can at home on their blocks and in their street to protect the health of our waterways.
“We received a positive response to our grants program from the community with more than 60 applications submitted. Each application was thoroughly assessed, including site visits, before the final 15 projects were selected.
“Geographically spread across the ACT and region, the grant recipients will deliver projects such as rain gardens, mulching systems, downpipe disconnection, nature strip treatments and, for rural areas, erosion control as demonstrations of best practices others can learn from.
“The successful applicants will receive up to $3,000 for urban blocks and up to $7,500 for rural residential blocks.
“The Australian Government is placing the emphasis firmly on building more modern and efficient water infrastructure to improve water quality in the ACT. That is why we are contributing up to $76 million for the construction of priority water infrastructure like ponds, wetlands and rain gardens, and we’re asking everyone in the region to do their part,” said Senator Seselja.
Minister Gentleman said the 15 successful project sites will provide practical examples of how others can implement simple solutions for managing stormwater on their block.
“Through a partnership with Open Gardens Canberra, people will be able to visit the sites to see first-hand how others are re-designing their gardens to make better use of water, minimise contaminated run-off and ensure only rain goes down the stormwater drain,” Minister Gentleman said.
“Successful applicants have 12 months to complete their projects before the sites join the Open Gardens Canberra program; in time for viewing in spring 2018. In addition to this, the H2OK program team will run ‘how to’ workshops at a number of the sites.
“I look forward to seeing how the 15 project sites progress over the next year and thank all applicants for being ambassadors for good stormwater management at home,” Minister Gentleman concluded.
The H2OK: Keeping our waterways healthy education program is part of the broader ACT Healthy Waterways initiative to construct new water quality infrastructure in the ACT. For more information visit www.act.gov.au/h2ok

Abstract : The real and immaginary parts of the dielectric constant of an inhomogeneous 68B2O3-17BaO-15Fe2O3 (mole %) glass have been measured over the temperature range 300K to 77K, together with magnetisation measurements over the same temperature range. The morphology of the precipitate particles produced by heat treating at 618C has been investigated by small angle x-ray scattering and electron microscopy. Two pronounced dielectric dispersions have been found to be associated with a magnetic phase transformation in the glass. The magnetic phase transformation, apparently associated with the Morin transition of the alpha-Fe2O3 precipitates, results in a displaced magnetisation curve along the magnetisation axis on cooling below T(m) in an applied magnetic field.

The network is essential; now it needs to be programmable
Today’s enterprise networks fuel the way people live, work and play. But their ability to push out the rising volume of data and applications in real time and meet expectations is increasingly in jeopardy. The pervasiveness of cloud computing, along with the escalating demand for mobility and social collaboration, continues to place an enormous strain on enterprise networks. Too often, innovative development can be stalled for weeks or months waiting for provisioning of expensive and inflexible network services. The cumulative effect can be devastating for the business.
Traditional network architectures that are too old, too rigid and too expensive to scale are out of alignment with today’s hybrid cloud and IT-as-a-service (ITaaS) deployments. Whether organizations are actively pursuing growth opportunities through innovation or reductions in cost and complexity, they need a network that is automated, intelligent and optimized for seamless operation within an increasingly virtualized and hybrid IT environment.
A different approach
Take, for example, a major international airline that needed to reinvent its global network to improve reliability, cost and service to customers. As the airline network expanded, so did cost and complexity. Additionally, the enterprise was dealing with the challenge of internet services that varied significantly in reliability and cost across many of the countries they served.
A multi-provider approach, which combined capacities from different carriers, enabled the airline to take advantage of individual providers’ local strengths and make up for the shortfall in certain regions. It provided customers with powerful and secure links to the enterprise network and major reservation systems through a virtual private network.
Highly interactive cloud-based applications and volatile traffic patterns demand a network infrastructure that is more agile, more adaptable and more in sync with the business it supports. The need for instantaneous, elastic connectivity across the enterprise is no longer just an option — it’s essential for a successful business. Additionally, the network needs to be managed as a programmable service providing enterprises a single management pane to view and program their network securely. This drives greater transparency, ensures resiliency, integrates security, and enables agility to scale quickly.
What’s required for transformation
Networking, IT and business requirements demand solutions that work holistically within an enterprise. These solutions require input from a broad spectrum of domains and stakeholders throughout the enterprise. Thus, network consulting projects are often complex, transformative and differentiated. To maximize value and minimize disruption as an enterprise moves through a network transformation project, enterprise decision-makers must:
- Ensure a services firm can strategically prioritize networking, operational and business requirements.
- Bring together disparate stakeholders and influencers to ensure a linkage between the business and the technology.
- Deliver the project in a globally consistent manner in a variety of consumption and payment models.
- Define and deliver repeatable methodologies for technology, operational and business change.
- Articulate investments in new technologies, processes, and tools for efficient, secure and intelligent service delivery.
The business advantages of a dynamic, programmable and virtualized network environment are significant and include more innovation, faster time to market and better security. It’s imperative when it comes to successful deployment of hybrid cloud and ITaaS. The transition to software-defined networking requires thoughtful strategy and design to prepare the organization and the infrastructure. | [

Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) is a highly contagious, acute respiratory disease of chickens, of worldwide distribution, that affects growth and egg production and leads to significant economic losses during periodic outbreaks of the disease. Live attenuated vaccines (chicken embryo origin [CEO] and tissue-culture origin [TCO]) have been widely used to control the disease in the United States. It is believed that most of the outbreaks in the United States are caused by vaccine-related isolates that persist in the field and spill over into naïve poultry populations. The objective of this study was to utilize the previously developed polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis to genotype recent ILT virus (ILTV) isolates from commercial poultry. Forty-six samples were collected during January 2006 to April 2007 from five poultry production regions of the United States and were characterized within PCR-RFLP groups III–VI. Sixty-three percent of the samples analyzed were categorized as closely related to the vaccine strains (groups III–V), whereas 33% were categorized as group VI viruses that differed in six and nine PCR-RFLP patterns from the CEO and TCO vaccines; a mixture of group IV and V viruses was detected in two samples (4%). In general, groups V and VI were the most prevalent viruses, found in 52% and 33% of the samples tested respectively. Both types of viruses were detected in vaccinated and nonvaccinated flocks. Although genetically different, both viruses produced severe disease in the field.

ABSTRACT Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are globally underfunded. We present a five-step framework that can help practitioners prioritize actions that may improve financial sustainability, which was applied to six MPAs in Colombia, Bonaire, and Belize. Limited funds were found to directly undermine effectiveness towards conservation goals for five sites, with these impacts particularly significant for four. Annual budgets required increases from 6 % to 141 % to meet financial needs. Two sites had significant underlying weaknesses in their financial strategies that could lead to direct impacts if not addressed, with an additional three sites having more minor, but still observable, weaknesses in this manner. Staff salaries were the largest expense for all MPAs examined and also most frequently in need of additional funds. Opportunities to potentially eliminate these funding gaps were identified for all six MPAs through reallocating existing resources (n =2), improving in-place mechanisms (n = 6), or implementing one or more alternative mechanisms (n =6). Among several findings, some MPAs had the potential to increase tourism-based income by several million dollars per year, which would well exceed local financial requirements and could have substantial financial benefits on a network-wide scale. Some MPAs, including those with lower budgets, effectively leveraged partnerships and inter-institutional coordination to expand management capacity. Among alternative mechanisms that could be implemented, opportunities to leverage private-sector investments were especially common. Other MPAs around the world could likewise improve financial sustainability through analysis, evaluation, and execution of the full suite of options described herein.
Invasive lionfish are assumed to significantly affect Caribbean reef fish communities. However, evidence of lionfish effects on native reef fishes is based on uncontrolled observational studies or small-scale, unrepresentative experiments, with findings ranging from no effect to large effects on prey density and richness. Moreover, whether lionfish affect populations and communities of native reef fishes at larger, management- relevant scales is unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of lionfish on coral reef prey fish communities in a natural complex reef system. We quantified lionfish and the density, richness, and composition of native prey fishes (0–10 cm total length) at sixteen reefs along ∼250 km of the Belize Barrier Reef from 2009 to 2013. Lionfish invaded our study sites during this four-year longitudinal study, thus our sampling included fish community structure before and after our sites were invaded, i.e., we employed a modified BACI design. We found no evidence that lionfish measurably affected the density, richness, or composition of prey fishes. It is possible that higher lionfish densities are necessary to detect an effect of lionfish on prey populations at this relatively large spatial scale. Alternatively, negative effects of lionfish on prey could be small, essentially undetectable, and ecologically insignificant at our study sites. Other factors that influence the dynamics of reef fish populations including reef complexity, resource availability, recruitment, predation, and fishing could swamp any effects of lionfish on prey populations. | [

We're all still pretty much recovering from Miss Universe Philippines Catriona Gray's jaw-dropping "lava walk" from the preliminary round of the 2018 Miss Universe pageant. We mean, the walk has already launched a thousand memes and it's barely been 24 hours since Cat sashayed onstage!
So how did she do that glorious slow-mo turn, exactly? How did her hair look so perfect? Is she even real????
ABS-CBN reporter Dyan Castillejo posted a short video interview with Catriona where she asked her some of the most burning questions we all have about that turn and walk. "I just did the turn slowly! That’s it! It’s just a slow turn,” said Cat. When asked about her flawless hair: "I don’t know, that wasn’t me—it just happened that way, promise," she said giggling.
Cat says the turn was completely intentional, by the way, and her hair definitely played a role in making it extra: "My team and I decided we wanted straight [hair] for [the] preliminary [round.] My mentor, kuya Caloy or Carlos. he always taught me that when I turn, I should snap back like when you dance. So I think that’s what carried the hair."
Spoken like a true kween. You go, girl!

Telltale Games are re-assessing their approach to the release model of their games as well.
Following a purchase of their assets earlier this year, Telltale Games were revived under new ownership and leadership. But much is changing at the studio, including the personnel, which also means that the way they approach development – and perhaps the release models – of their games is also being reviewed.
Recently, while speaking in an interview with GameDaily.biz, Telltale CEO Jamie Ottilie said that though the stories of their future games will follow an episodic structure, the games themselves will be developed in their entirety together, rather than on an episode-by-episode basis. As such, even if they are released episodically, the entire game will have already finished development when the first episode releases.
“We are creating the stories episodically, but how… | [

The Alexander “Boss” Gibson Home is designated a Local Historic Place for its association with the Gibson family, 185 Canada Street was built by Henry Pickard in 1864 for Alexander “Boss” Gibson, local entrepreneur who made his fortune in the lumber industry and is credited with the industrial development of the former town of Marysville, now part of the City of Fredericton. Gibson lived in the home until 1866, at which time he built an ornate mansion in the area known as “Nob Hill.” Atop “Nob Hill,” Gibson had a view of the Nashwaak River, his cotton mill, and the numerous tenement homes he constructed for his employees and their families.
The significance of this home also resides in its location on Canada Street. When Gibson purchased Rankin’s Mill in 1862, the sale included a grist mill, a blacksmith shop, a supervisor’s cottage, a store and several homes for the workmen. As Gibson’s own home was constructed, so were twenty additional houses for his employees along Canada Street. These homes marked the beginning of the community building boom which lasted for nearly two decades.
The original Gibson Mansion was known as “the big house” by the locals of Marysville and was built in the 1860’s.
Mrs Gibson worked closely with architect Matthew Stead (who also designed the local church) to achieve a Gothic Victorian look. A ballroom ran the entire length of the house and a circular staircase rose to the third floor. There was even a marble fountain on the grounds.
Mrs. Gibson would entertain people in the magnificent parlors and spacious grounds and the evenings would sometimes end with fireworks. The Fredericton Brass band played at several events. Guests included Prime Minister John A. MacDonald and the Lieutenant Governor would bring special visitors by to visit.
On Saturday afternoon, June 6, 1914, the house burned to the ground. Crowds gathered and watched as this landmark of the late Boss Gibson was destroyed.

Warren Smith re YOUNGMAN Family
Thank you for this fantastic website.
I have traced my family back to being born and living in Blaxhall.
Indeed my grt grt grt grandfather Henry YOUNGMAN lived at the Ship Inn in the 1841 census, house number 27 in 1851, Back Lane in 1861, Mill Common in 1871 and then moved with his son Thomas to West Ham by 1881.
I would be interested to know if anyone has information on YOUNGMAN's living in Blaxhall.
Charles YOUNGMAN born 1737 in Wattisfield married Ann MALLOWS 13th Mar 1765.
Their son John MALLOWS YOUNGMAN born 1768 in Wattisfield married Mary (probably maiden name POLEY) on 25th Feb 1800.
Their son Henry YOUNGMAN was born 1808 in Tunstalll and married Maria (possibly maiden name BURROWES).
Their son Thomas David YOUNGMAN born 1842 in Wickham but lived most of his life in Blaxhall. He married Louisa (probable maiden name LAZELL). They moved to West Ham in later life.
The Youngman's were mainly farm labourers.
I have lots of information if anyone wishes to contact me. | [

In this movie, Bruce Lee is a very famous martial-arts master who stars in many films. After an unsuccessful murder attempt against him, everyone thinks his is dead, but he's just hiding, preparing his revenge... Written by
Chris Makrozahopoulos <email@example.com>
In Bruce Lee's original story plot, he was to play a world renowned martial artist named Hai Tien. Tien was to be approached by the Korean underworld and told about a mysterious treasure at the top of a pagoda. Hai Tien would want nothing to do with it, but when his sister and younger brother are kidnapped Hair is forced to co-opperate. Although the name Hai Tien came up at least once in the archive footage for Game of Death, Robert Clouse and co. Changed his name to Billy Lo. See more »
During the first fight scene, we see a guy in a green jump suit is running at Billy and is back kicked. However when the kick forces the guy in green to flip, it is a guy in a black jump suit that flips yet he wasn't the one that was kicked. Then the guy in the green jump suit is kicked again when it should of been the guy in the black jump suit to receive that blow because the guy in green should of flipped after being kicked.

'Game of Death' is the equivalent of having your dog swallow a gold ring - you've got to sift through the cr*p to find the polished stuff.
Completely different to Bruce's original vision, the 1978 version is hugely controversial. To some, it's a shameless cash-in and insult, to others it's a curiosity. To me personally, it's a guilty pleasure. Obviously, with such limited footage of Bruce Lee to use, the film was always going to suffer. Not only that, but how do you incorporate the footage into a film and give it context? The stand-in's that are used to fill the time leading up to the Lee footage are never going to fool anyone. Even as a kid, I could tell it someone else. The techniques used to have Bruce Lee on screen range from awful (superimposed heads) to tasteless (his real funeral) to fairly good (quick cuts from old footage). The disguises that Billy Lo and Bruce's doubles wear throughout the film are hokey but nothing that we haven't seen in Lee's films before (Fist of Fury), so that didn't bother me too much.
Despite some awful dubbing and a poor script, 'Game of Death' is still watchable for it's action. Fight choreographer Sammo Hung makes the non-Lee fight scenes entertaining even if the doubles don't match Bruce Lee's speed or technique. However, they do capture some traits of Lee's fights including the slow motion finishing move. Also, the film's budget allows for a number of locations ensuring that Billy's quest for revenge keeps moving. In this regard, the Hollywood frills that are added give the film a degree of watchability, especially the classy score which appears throughout and heightens the final scenes.
But of course, the main point of watching 'Game of Death' is to see Bruce in action. Although criticised for cutting down the "pagoda sequence", I think it still contains enough to satisfy. You have to remember that this original footage included two companions of Lee's who don't feature in the 1978 film, meaning a lot had to be left out. The nunchuk duel is unique while the fight with Kareem Abdul Jabbar is bizarre but thrilling.
There are some moments of bad taste, but on the whole the film is a cheesy and quite fun attempt to build up to the final 20 minutes. Whether you think this was a cash-in or a tribute, you still need to see it in order to understand the | [

Avantra Biosciences this week said that it will work with TGen Drug Development, or TD2, to test and develop applications for its Q400 Biomarker Workstation.
Launched this week, the Q400 is an automated multiplex immunoassay system that can be used to evaluate the associations between elevated protein levels, unique patient characteristics, and drug responses. Woburn, Mass.-based Avantra also launched its Angio Qx BioChip Immunoassay, which it claims can be used to measure biomarkers that can predict how cancer patients will respond to new drug therapies.
TD2, based in Scottsdale, Ariz., assists drug-development firms in moving laboratory discoveries through the pre-clinical, clinical, and regulatory approval steps. Avantra said that TD2's pharma clients could use its platform to identify appropriate biomarkers for use with drugs in development.
The firm also hopes that the collaboration will allow it to expand its menu of assays. Avantra CEO Brian McKernan said in a statement that the partnership could "enable Avantra to expedite the release of new oncology-focused QPDx BioChip panels, and enable TD2 to couple advanced multiplex protein technologies with their innovative drug profiling platform."
Financial terms of the deal were not discussed. | [

Family Dentist One-Day Crown and Bridge Services in Olathe, Kansas
Family dentist office Olathe Dental Care Center offers one-day dental crowns and bridge services at our office in Olathe, KS. Having a crown made and fitted on the same day – usually in less than two hours – wears just as well and lasts as long as those made over a two to three-week period. One-day crowns and bridges are possible due to improved digital technologies available to the family dentist. Importantly, not only are they as durable as regular fabricated crowns, but they usually cost the same. Further, we also offer same-day bridge creation and insertion.
Dental crowns are often recommended by your family dentist to protect a tooth that is cracked or weakened by decay, or to restore a tooth that has been worn down. Dental crowns can also be implemented to support a tooth with a large dental filling, where a significant portion of the tooth enamel has been removed, to hold a dental bridge or cover an implant. In most cases, a dental crown made of ceramic material will suffice, however, for someone who clenches or grinds their teeth, a stronger crown made from a gold alloy may be a better choice.
A dental crown is designed to cover the visible portion of the tooth and restore its size, shape, and strength, while also enhancing the look of teeth that are discolored or misshapen. Technology-aided design and manufacturing enable the family dentist at ODCC to create a three-dimensional image of the patient’s affected tooth and surrounding teeth. The CEREC system software further provides design options for providing the best look and fit for a dental crown. After the digital impression, the tooth will be prepared for the crown which is then sent to a milling machine that creates the dental crown from ceramic materials.
The family dentist is able to match the dental crown’s color to the patient’s natural teeth as closely as possible. The crown is then affixed to the teeth with dental cement, and the dentist gives the final finishing for a perfect smile!
At ODCC, we provide dental crowns and bridgework in a relaxed, comfortable environment. Our staff is committed to ensuring you have the best experience possible for all of your dental needs. We work with all the major insurance carriers, and a lot of the smaller ones, as well. We will help you file your claims, and help you navigate your options. If you are uninsured, our family dentist office offers a discount plan to make your dental care affordable and consistent.
ODCC also accepts CareCredit, which gives you the option of making payments over a longer period of time, most with 0% interest financing. This financing was designed specifically for medical and dental offices that can be applied for right in our office, and credit decisions are usually immediate. | [

As 2012 comes to a close, the Planning Department is focused on three major initiatives for the coming year. The first is implementation of the “Renew Opelika Road” plan that is scheduled for completion in December 2012. This effort will require modifications to our existing zoning regulations in order to encourage new development and redevelopment that will revitalize the Opelika Road corridor.
The second initiative is the commissioning of a Downtown Master Plan for Auburn. This comes on the heels of one of the major recommendations of CompPlan 2030, which was to expand the downtown west to Donahue Drive, north of campus, and south to Reese Avenue along the South College Street and South Gay Street corridors.
Last, but not least, is the continued implementation of other recommendations set forth in CompPlan 2030, including refinement of the land use plan for the new Auburn Technology Park Interchange (Exit 50) and review and refinement of impervious surface ratio (ISR) requirements in the City’s zoning ordinance. | [

This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/109,543, entitled “Polarized Projection Display,” filed on Apr. 18, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to displays, and specifically to transparent displays with an image that is visible from one side of the display but not the other.
Generally speaking, advertising is the paid promotion of goods, services, companies and ideas by an identified sponsor. Advertisements on the side of buildings were common in the early-20th century U.S. One modern example is the NASDAQ sign at the NASDAQ Market Site at 4 Times Square on 43rd Street. Unveiled in January 2000, it cost $37 million to build. The sign is 120 feet high and is the largest LED display in the world. NASDAQ pays over $2 million a year to lease the space for this sign. This is actually considered a good deal in advertising as the number of “impressions” the sign makes far exceeds those generated by other ad forms. However, advertisements on the side of a building cover up what otherwise would be space for windows in the building.
Thus, what is needed is an apparatus that would provide advertisements on the side of buildings while still allowing for windows in the advertisement space.
In one embodiment of the invention, a display system includes a projection screen and a projector. The projection screen includes a retarder plate between a polarizer and a transparent screen. The projector projects an image through the polarizer and the retarder plate onto the transparent screen. The image is visible from a first side of the transparent screen but invisible from a second side of the transparent screen because any light passing twice through the retarder plate is blocked by the polarizer. Thus, the projection screen frees a person on the second side of the transparent screen from any distraction caused by the image while still allowing the person to look out through the projection screen.
Use of the same reference numbers in different figures indicates similar or identical elements.
Projection screen 104 includes a polarizer 106, a retarder plate 108, and a transparent screen 110. Although shown spaced apart, polarizer 106, retard | [

On my quest to make it through the best slot canyons Utah has to offer, I’ve been told that you can’t miss the canyons in the North Wash area. I was told that Blarney was an excellent canyon for beginners, and the Leprechaun forks were excellent for longer, more intense canyons. It turned out to be a perfect overnight trip to the desert. Picking off a couple new canyons, and enjoying the solitude and uniqueness of the Utah desert.
We took off from work, and took the 3 hour drive from the Salt Lake area to southern Utah. We drove through Capitol Reef National park, checking out the amazing Fish Creek Panel, and working our way towards North Wash with a scenic sunset happening all around us.
By the time we reached North Wash, we were it was a perfect New Moon, clear sky with the Milky Way giving us it’s best view. Alan, a resident of Mexico City recently located to the Salt Lake City area for work told us he’d never seen the Milky Way before. Needless to say, he got about the best viewing I’ve ever seen, and must have been an incredible experience. I know that it is for me every time I get to fall asleep gazing into a perfectly clear star-lit sky. | [

The outdoor room has become an absolute must for homeowners, and the demand for fire as a design element is universal. The built-in Wolf grill, cooking storage, and dining area; including a covered lounging space with outdoor television; makes this outdoor hardscape an extraordinary outdoor living space in sync with nature.
Plaza Outdoor Gas Fire Pit is a versatile modular linear burner system that can be creatively configured. Junko matched it with exposed aggregate concrete used on the driveway, brought in the stone used on the house, added a metal roof to compliment the home’s slate roof and 6-inch Azel decking.

Ayutthaya used to be one of Southeast Asia most powerful capitals with many ruins reminding travellers of this glorious past.
Just 60 km away from Bangkok, tourists can discover one of the grandest archeological and spiritual sites of Southeast Asia in Ayutthaya. Historically the second capital of Siam, Ayutthaya was one of the most brilliant civilizations in the region. The ruins of its temples are a powerful testimony of the magnificence of the former capital while the near-by palace of Bang Pa-In is the European dreams of Siamese kings some 150 years ago.
Ayutthaya prosperity came from its location, upstream the Chao Praya River. Being away from the sea and from attacks from pirates, Ayutthaya appeared as the perfect peaceful place for trading, especially with China.
The rise of the old capital occurred with the beginning of the 15th century. According to Ayutthaya history specialist Chris Baker, some 10,000 elephants were living in Ayutthaya next to the population by 1550, a real sign of opulence and power. War and then trade made Ayutthaya opulence in such a way that in the 17th century saw the establishment of the first diplomatic relations with countries around the world, such as with France.
Ayutthaya lost its economic preponderance in the 18th century with new trading centres emerging but kept its cultural influence in Asia until 1767. That year, Burmese troops attacked the capital, ransacked it and then burnt it to the ground. It would take 100 years before Ayutthaya started recovering with its chedis, prangs (towers), temples and monasteries being restored. The city is since 1991 a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
An old 17th-century map of Ayutthaya drawn by French diplomats
1. Ayutthaya Information Centre, old city hall
Recently restored, the centre is now home to the tourist information centre but provides also excellent information through an exhibition over Ayutthaya history giving useful information about the history of the former capital, the architecture of the various temples and monasteries as well as the various sightseeing to be discovered. An art gallery exhibits also local artists. The National Art Museum of Ayutthaya is located in the same building.
Go there: The centre is located along Sisanpathet Road in the centre near the City Pillar Shrine and next to the Chao Sam Phraya Museum.
2. Chao Sam Phraya Museum and Wat Borrom Puttharam
One of the first temples to be discovered in the city centre is Wat Borrom Puttharam inside Rajabhat University which was built at the peak of Ayutthaya splendour between 1688 and 1703. Across is Chao Sam Phraya Museum showing Buddha images and sculptures as well as golden items and gemstones testifying of the wealth of Ayutthaya in the 17th century.
Go there: by private transportation to the city centre.
3. Wihan Phra Mongkhon Bophit
The white sanctuary building is a beautiful structure done in the 18th century and rebuilt in the 1950s. The place is famous for the oldest image of Buddha which survived the sacking of Ayutthaya in 1767. The image measures 12.45 meters in height and is constructed of brick and bronze.
Go there: in the vicinity of Ayutthaya Tourist and Information Centre.
4. Wat Phra Si Samphet
Wat Phra Si Samphet used to be a royal palace before being turned into a monastery. It was considered the holiest royal temple in town, the holiest temple on the site of the old Royal Palace in Thailand’s ancient capital and was built in the middle of the 14th century.
The temple was especially famous for its Royal Chapel built in 1499 and a giant 16-meter high statue of Buddha covered in gold. The entire complex was destroyed by Burmese with the three chedis – one of the most photographed by tourists in Ayutthaya- being only rebuilt in 1956. They are believed to keep the ashes of three Kings: Trailok, Borom Ratchathirat III, and King Rama Thibodi II.
Go there: Wat Phra Si Samphet is located just behind Wihan Phra Mongkhon Bophit
5. Wat Mahathat
Wat Mahathat was once the home of the Supreme Patriarch, the head of Buddhism in Ayutthaya. The temple was constructed around 1374. The massive complex used to be dominated by a central prang (tower), which collapsed a few times.
Today, visitors walk around the romantic ruins with images of sitting Buddhas placed along the walls surrounded the ruins of the temple complex. One of the much-photographed images of Ayutthaya is a Buddha head embedded into a tree trunk and | [

We've reached an agreement to purchase the entire stake of Thai Shell Exploration and Production Co. Ltd.," Maroot Mrigadat, PTTEP's president told Dow Jones Newswires. He declined to give details on the value of the deal, but said the share purchase agreement will be signed on Tuesday.
The main assets of Thai Shell Exploration include Block S1, Thailand's largest onshore oil field, Block L22/43 and Block B6/27.
PTT Exploration already owns 25% of the S1 field in a joint venture with Thai Shell Exploration & Production which controls a 75% stake. The investment in Block S1 so far is around US$850 million.
The S1 field produces about 20,000 barrels of crude a day. It also produces 55 million cubic feet a day of natural gas and 300 tons of liquefied petroleum gas a day. The two companies are also jointly control Block L22/43, a smaller onshore oil field, which is now being explored. PTT Exploration has a 35% stake in the project and the local Shell unit controls 65%.
Thai Shell Exploration the sole owner of Block B6/27, another field located in the Gulf of Thailand. However, the field is not operational since 1997 due to technical difficulties.

Racecar drivers could zoom around a track hour after hour to get ready for race day situations, but that type of preparation is track time-restricted by FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) rules that govern Formula One (F1) motorsports. There is an alternative way to enhance a racing program, and Ferrari's F1 has opted for it.
"The dynamic driving simulator is a new step for us in developing virtual tests that give pilots a true feel of a real environment and direct feedback on their actions," according to Marco Fainello, Head of the Car Performance and R&D Department for Scuderia Ferrari, who added that the driving simulator will support a "new breed of test."
Rather than relying solely on outdoor driving, drivers will be spending time under a domed environment of near-reality. The under-development driving apparatus can be viewed in terms of two halves. The bottom half will use actuators on a modified 660-motion platform to mimic the motion of an F1 racecar, while the top half will provide an actual F1 racecar monocoque surrounded by a 180º screen showing projections of images generated by industrial computers. In addition, the driver's rearview mirror view is shown via two additional screens.
"This project will represent another step-change in human-in-the-loop testing technology with enhanced fidelity through advanced platform kinematics and optimized motion cues," noted Pim van den Dijssel, Market Manager of Test Systems at Moog FCS. The company, with offices in the Netherlands and Ann Arbor, MI, has provided more than 500 motion bases to customers around the globe.
Technical specialists at Ferrari and Cruden, a full-motion vehicle simulator manufacturer, are working on the software programming of the driving simulator. "Cruden will deliver the software and image generation as well as the integration of the vehicle models from Ferrari," said Frank Kalff, Commercial Director of Cruden B.V. in the Netherlands.
As a track-time alternative, "drivers will use the simulator as a means of testing new technologies, determining an appropriate racecar setup for a specific race, as well as for generic research and development purposes," said Kalff. Delivery of the simulator, which is slated for late 2009, will follow a series of trial runs. "There will be a number of tests done to see how the system feels," Kalff said, "because the simulator needs to be tuned to best simulate reality."
To give Ferrari drivers the best near-reality visuals, engineers will be challenged to develop software libraries and data that correlate to actual track environments. "For example, the tarmac's structure and surface differs from turn to turn as well as track to track. For instance, a given track may have more grip than another track. For all of the tracks that F1 competes on, Ferrari wants each of the 18 track surfaces and the track surroundings—including spectators, trees, guard rails, curb stones, and weather conditions such as wind, rain, and sun—to be as realistic as possible in order to ensure that the driver receives the most realistic feedback," said Kalff.
The driving simulator being developed for Ferrari is unlike any other driving simulator. "It will be a truly unique piece of mechatronics. Compared to other racecar simulators that may excel in one aspect of simulation, the Ferrari F1 simulator will combine the best of several technologies, namely image generation, motion cueing, and realistic environments," said Kalff. | [

Bridges are not only architectural marvels but also essential infrastructure that connects people and enhances transportation networks. Ensuring the safety of bridges is crucial, especially in high-traffic areas where accidents can have devastating consequences. Over the years, the evolution of bridge foot style barriers has played a significant role in enhancing safety measures. This article aims to explore the innovative designs that have emerged and discuss their impact on bridge safety.
1. Traditional Bridge Foot Style Barriers:
Traditional bridge foot style barriers primarily focused on preventing pedestrians from falling off the edge of the bridge. Typically, these barriers were constructed of stone, concrete, or metal railings. While they served their purpose to some extent, they often lacked aesthetic appeal and failed to address evolving safety needs.
2. The Emergence of Modern Designs:
The demand for more secure and visually appealing bridge foot style barriers led to the emergence of modern designs. These innovative barriers aim to strike a balance between safety, functionality, and aesthetics.
2.1. Transparent Barriers:
Transparent barriers, made from tempered glass or acrylic materials, have gained popularity for several reasons. Firstly, they allow unobstructed views for pedestrians, enhancing the experience of crossing the bridge. Secondly, they provide a sense of security without compromising on aesthetics. These barriers are particularly suitable for bridges that offer scenic views or historical landmarks.
2.2. Cable Systems:
An alternative to traditional solid barriers, cable systems have gained traction in recent years. These barriers consist of steel cables or wires that are carefully tensioned and aligned vertically or horizontally. The use of cable systems not only enhances the visibility from the bridge but also allows for a lightweight and flexible design. Additionally, cable systems are effective in preventing suicides, as they offer limited anchor points and minimize the possibility of tying a noose.
2.3. Green Walls:
Some innovative designs incorporate green walls or living plants into the bridge foot style barriers. These installations not only enhance the aesthetics but also contribute to environmental sustainability. Green walls improve air quality, reduce noise pollution, and provide a natural habitat for birds and insects. Moreover, they promote a sense of tranquility and connection with nature in urban environments.
3. Technological Advancements:
In the era of advanced technology, bridge foot style barriers have also evolved to incorporate various cutting-edge features.
3.1. Smart Sensors:
Smart sensors integrated into barrier systems can detect and alert authorities about potential hazards or breaches. These sensors can identify any unusual vibrations, impact force, or excessive weight on the barriers. Real-time monitoring allows authorities to promptly respond to accidents or intentional damage, ensuring the safety of pedestrians.
3.2. LED Lighting:
LED lighting integrated into bridge foot style barriers not only enhances visibility during the night but also adds an element of artistic beauty. This innovative feature not only improves safety by guiding pedestrians but also transforms bridges into captivating landmarks.
4. Importance of Public Perception:
While the functionality and safety aspects of bridge foot style barriers are vital, public perception should also be considered. Aesthetically pleasing designs can contribute to a positive image of the bridge and encourage more pedestrian activity. By providing a pleasant environment, bridges can become popular spots for leisure activities, promoting a healthy lifestyle and enhancing social connectivity.
The evolution of bridge foot style barriers has come a long way, prioritizing safety while incorporating innovative designs. Transparent barriers, cable systems, green walls, as well as the integration of smart sensors and LED lighting, have revolutionized bridge safety measures. The combination of safety, functionality, and aesthetics ensures that bridges not only serve their purpose but also add value to the surrounding environment. With ongoing advancements, we can expect even more innovative designs to emerge, further enhancing the safety of bridges worldwide. | [

Apparently shirtless bed pics are a thing now. Kylie Jenner and Jaden Smith channeled his sister Willow Smith and their pal Mosies Arias in a pic posted to Jenner's Tumblr, Kalifornia-Klasss, back in April.
Jenner, 16, posted a photo resembling Willow and Arias' controversial shirtless pic on April 25. In the black and white photo, Jenner is sitting behind Smith, 15, straddling him while he's shirtless wearing only a backwards cap and Calvin Klein boxers.
Kim Kardashian's younger half sister captioned the photo: "*Ksss* Ahhh… 2014," and appeared to be replying to a post from Arias' Tumblr 490tx. (Arias' Tumblr is now password protected following the controversy.)
Jenner and rumored boyfriend Smith's photo surfaces just days after the Internet was abuzz as to whether Smith's younger sister, Willow's, pic was inappropriate for a 13-year-old.
In the photo, Arias, 20, is sitting in a bed shirtless with Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith's daughter. Pinkett-Smith told paparazzi as she arrived at LAX on May 7, "There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation." Adding, "You guys are projecting your trash onto it. You're acting like covert pedophiles and that's not cool."
A source close to the teens tells Us Moises and Willow's pic was "just for fun." Adding, "They both love to take photos and enjoy being creative with their shots. They are like family, brother and sister, and there is nothing sexual about the photo."
Arias later deleted the picture from his Instagram account.
Tell Us: Do you think these pictures are inappropriate or in good fun?

When meeting with prospective clients, I often hear this:
“I can’t stand pachysandra or English ivy”.
Fair enough. So what are your groundcover alternatives?
Let’s think “outside the box”. Many different plants can serve this purpose very well on your property. Below is a list of groundcovers that merit our attention and are worthy for several reasons. A few notes:
If you have areas where grass will not grow, slopes or shady areas, groundcovers are the answer.
Many groundcovers are deer resistant. All of them flower. Some are even fragrant. Some make great cut flowers. Flower arrangers will appreciate the different foliage textures whether they are evergreen or deciduous.
In the beginning, mulch 2 inches deep to help keep weeds down and moisture in until established. Weeding will still need to be done. Gardens are not maintenance free. Aesthetically speaking, plants are better to look at than mulch.
Pay close attention to growth and care requirements for your groundcover, and you will be rewarded with healthy and happy plants for years to come.

HOUSTON—Francisco Rodriguez's alleged assault of his girlfriend's father last week has had some very real—and very damaging—results for the Mets. Mr. Rodriguez, the team's closer, sustained a torn ligament in the thumb of his pitching hand during the altercation, a team spokesman said Monday, and it is unlikely he will pitch again this season.
Mr. Rodriguez, who leads the Mets with 25 saves, did not travel with the team here for its four-game series against the Astros.
He was examined Monday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. A magnetic resonance imaging test revealed the tear, and team doctors have recommended that Mr. Rodriguez undergo surgery to repair it. The date of the surgery is yet to be determined.
After serving a two-day suspension following the incident, which allegedly took place in the Mets' family lounge at Citi Field on Wednesday, Mr. Rodriguez pitched a scoreless inning Saturday. He then complained of discomfort in his right hand, according to the team spokesman and manager Jerry Manuel.
Josh Thole, who caught the inning that Mr. Rodriguez pitched on Saturday, said he noticed "there was something going on" with Mr. Rodriguez's pitches.
"He wasn't throwing the types of strikes he normally does," Mr. Thole said.
When asked whether the team would punish Mr. Rodriguez or attempt to void his contract—Mr. Rodriguez signed a three-year, $37-million deal with the Mets in 2009—the spokesman said he was not in a position to answer the question.
General manager Omar Minaya and assistant general manager John Ricco did not make the trip here.
With a midnight deadline looming, Mr. Minaya and Mr. Ricco were still negotiating a contract with first-round draft pick Matt Harvey and Mr. Harvey's agent, Scott Boras.
Agent Paul Kinzer, who represents Mr. Rodriguez, did not return a phone call to his office.
Despite the team's decision to suspend Mr. Rodriguez last week—the two days without pay cost Mr. Rodriguez more than $125,000—Mr. Manuel suggested there were mitigating circumstances surrounding the incident that made him sympathetic toward Mr. Rodriguez.
"When you have some of the information, not all of the information, and you can pass judgment on the little information you have, you don't condone it, but you can see why," Mr. Manuel said. "I think that has to be taken into account with your frustrations."
Mr. Manuel would not elaborate on what information or details he knew about the situation because "it was a legal-type thing. It would only be fair to the people involved to stay away from that."
As for who would replace Mr. Rodriguez as the Mets' closer, Mr. Manuel named five of the six relievers who are on the team's active roster.
The only one he did not mention was Oliver Perez.

Copper based electrical contacts are widely used thanks to the high electric conductivity and low cost of this metal. However, the efficiency and durability of the devices can be affected by several factors including metal oxidation and corrosion. In this paper, a bilayer mixed lubricant has been developed to attenuate those hindrances. It is composed of an immobile layer (perfluoroetheralkyl-thiol and dithiol SAMs) to reduce copper corrosion, and by a mobile layer (PFPE lubricant) to reduce the friction. The perfluorinated SAMs have been successfully achieved on copper and the resulting monolayers exhibit high blocking and insulating behaviors. The spreading of PFPE lubricant on those self-assemblies has then been performed. The resulting bilayer systems are homogeneous and completely wetted by the lubricant. Furthermore, the bilayer systems show higher retention of the thin lubricant film than the bare copper. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Steamboat Springs The Routt County Board of Commissioners agreed Thursday to lift the fire ban on all private areas in the county.
The ban, which had been in effect since June 28, had included campfires and trash, brush or debris fires as well as restrictions on chainsaw use and welding.
Chuck Vale, the county's emergency management director, told members of the board that it was his recommendation along with the Bureau of Land Management, Sheriff's Office and Steamboat Springs Fire Department that the restriction be removed.
Vale said every Tuesday he meets with other counties and the BLM to discuss fire restrictions in the area and decide whether a ban should be instituted. The BLM looks at seven different tests to determine how high the fire danger is. Last week, conditions were right at the fire ban line, and this week, Vale said, Routt County passed all of the tests and was considered below the line that would garner a fire ban.
"I'd be comfortable with lifting (the fire ban)," Commissioner Doug Monger said. "Especially with none of the criteria met for a fire ban."
Kent Foster, Routt National Forest supervising forester, said the exclusion of the fire ban had nothing to do with the end of the Rainbow Family of Living Light gathering.
"It was purely due to the rain and changing season," he said.
The removal of the fire ban will take place immediately on all private lands in Routt County. Vale said most counties in Colorado are removing their fire restrictions. The only counties that are keeping the fire ban are Eagle, Summit and Larimer Counties, he said.
Although all private land in Routt County is fire-ban free, Gov. Bill Owens has extended restriction to all government-owned property until Aug. 19.

Transfer Raises Security Fears
Shortly after the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime, unemployed Safa Mansour, 31, decided to work as a taxi driver like many other Iraqis.
Mansour sold his family's possessions, including his wife's gold, to buy a car, but it was soon stolen by armed carjackers in broad daylight.
Today, Mansour fears another breakdown of civil authority - such as accompanied the overthrow of the former regime - as well as an upsurge in extremist bomb attacks.
"I am afraid that insecurity will increase. Also, I am hesitant to leave my house for fear of injuries because of the many explosions," he told IWPR.
Most Baghdad residents interviewed by IWPR across the capital expressed concerns that security may deteriorate with the transfer of sovereignty.
"I prefer the American forces to remain instead of transferring power," said English teacher Dawood Salman, 45. The number of explosions in the last ten days were proof, he said, that US forces did a better job than Iraqis in keeping order.”
Those suspicious of the Americans’ intentions believe they deliberately delayed the handover so that militants would have longer to establish themselves in the country.
"The Americans delayed transferring power because they hate the Iraqis. The absence of any government gave many opportunities for terrorists to set off explosions," said one man, who refused to give his name, but claimed to have formerly worked in the intelligence service.
Some of those interviewed hoped that an Iraqi government would be able to solve the country’s security problems, saying that Iraqi leaders would understand what they are up against.
"The transfer should have happened a long time ago," said Basem Riyadh, 53, a civil servant at the ministry of education. "The Americans don't know anything about Iraq, and it's better for the Iraqis to solve their problems themselves."
"If security is in Iraqi hands, the Iraqis can handle it, because they know all the terrorists' tricks," said day- labourer Mustafa Alwan, 35.
The transfer of power is "good is for the people who want stability and safety... [and] not good for the people who want to destroy the country", said Radwan Abd al-Amir, 42, an employee at the courthouse in the west Baghdad district of al-Bayaa.
"Iraqis have shown in the past that they can control the situation," said Abd al-Amir, who added that he was a former member of the ruling Baath party.
Others don’t believe the handover will change very much, as Coalition forces are to stay in the country.
"I don't care if power is transferred or not," said law student Ahmed al-Hadithi, 25. "American forces will remain, and that's proof that nothing good can happen."
"I want just to finish my studies without any explosions and without any death," he said.

Collective Garden Baugruppe Zelterstrasse
Two years ago Stichting Tussentuin visited a communal garden situated at Zelterstrasse in Prenzlauerberg, Berlin. The garden is surrounded by a new building block of 45 apartments. Both the building and the garden were brought into realization as a Baugemeinschafts project. Susanne Friedburg of Herrburg Landschaftsarchitekten made the design of the garden. Together with her family she is living in Zelterstrasse.
The building and garden are part of a Baugemeinschafts project or Baugruppe. What exactly is a Baugruppe? How did you manage to realize this project?
The’ Baugruppe’ has become a very popular form — particularly in Berlin — for people with a tight money budget to purchase property. It means that a group of people buy and develop a plot of land or an existing house for themselves, thereby cutting out the costs for professional building developers. It also means, however, that they have to take the risk usually taken by the developer, i.e. the increase of costs. Also they have to organise the process themselves. In our case, the project was developed by Zanderroth Architekten, who have specialised in ‘Baugruppen’-Projects since the 1990s. This included finding a suitable property, developing an architectural solution, promoting the project, gathering a group of potential owners and then guiding them through the planning and building process. With the size of this particular ‘Baugruppe’ (45 units which means up to 90 individuals) it was necessary to establish a ‘strong’ leadership to keep the process in control and going. So decisions on all matters concerning communal property were actually due to the professionals — which meant that for the communal courtyard our office made a design proposal which was then presented to the group. We did a lot of design research before we started on the design — trying to find a solution that would hopefully meet the needs and expectations of the future inhabitants. When we presented our proposal to the group we were very happy and relieved that only one person voted against our design.
You made the design of the collective garden. How did you decide for the layout of the garden? What was the influence of the other habitants on the design?
As already mentioned we did intensive research before we started with the design. At that stage we asked the habitants to write a ‘wish list’, so we could develop a general idea of the peoples expectations. After that the whole design process became totally undemocratic: with us developing a design proposal which was presented to the group for election. With the design, we started of with the results of our analysis. The large amount of children (ca. 40 back then, now there are a lot more) and the spatial conditions (the courtyard is only 11 metres wide with an overall length of 100 metres) were particularly challenging. We thought a lot about privacy and the transition between semi-private and private space as well as children’s playgrounds, communal space and neighbourhood. From an early stage we decided that the courtyard should carry the intimate atmosphere of a private garden and with this hopefully encourage personal identification. Once we had established this leading image, everything else followed this principle idea. The required (also legally demanded) children play areas should be embedded informally in the garden design. Thematically it is orientated on the idea of nature inspired play and self-adaptation to encourage creative playing. The concrete pathway which was needed to access the backyard house, was used to implement the overall structure, creating a zoning of private and public spaces – thereby achieving a private buffer zone alongside the edges and an open communal space in the centre. To equalize spatial density and allow intimacy, the decentralisation of play areas was the next step – a topography of small hills with tree planting was used to form smaller subspaces which also structured and broke the spatial length. Informal and reduced playing elements (sand, water/fountain, wooden platforms and a tree-house) were distributed evenly across the courtyard. Last but not least the planting played a major role not only in the achievement of the garden character we had in mind, but also in supporting the functional and spatial structure. The topography – also necessary for tree planting to achieve sufficient substrate depth – is emphasized with dense shrub planting underneath the trees. The trees do not only punctuate the spatial longitude, but also create a filter between the higher buildings storeys as well as scaling down the height of and intermediating with the 7-storey gardenhouse. We chose the Gleditsia triacanthos as it is a very delicate tree and some native multi-stem Sorbus aucuparia for wildlife habitat. Overall the planting concept comprised a framework of compact planting of ground-covers and small sized shrubs partially evergreen, so the gardens structural clarity is maintained throughout the year.

Are You Living Your Life or Someone Else's?
Asteya which means “non-stealing” (or to me, to live with integrity), is more than just the obvious. My initial reaction to the third Yama was “O.K., do not steal” my thinking was much of the Ten Commandments. Brought up Catholic, this was something I knew by heart; don’t steal someone else’s possessions, money, “anything” that doesn’t belong to you.
But after two decades of being raised in this understanding yoga shed some light onto this concept and way of living that allowed me a much, much deeper look at what I believe my childhood teachers where teaching as well but somewhere along the way also lost translation of this sacred offering of truth.
- For yogis the concept of stealing goes much deeper than the tangible, and in essence it should for everyone, and I believe that the tangible is the lesser of it all. Asteya asks us: Do we control? Do we manipulate? Do we manage? These are all forms of acting out the ego and in the end we are stealing from the people we engage in these behaviors with; we are stealing their opportunities, stealing their creativity, stealing their potential.
To put it simply, can you just let someone speak, tell their story and explain? Or do you constantly have to make it about you, have your part in the conversation, end up making the conversation about you and what you have done? It usually sounds something like this: “I just had the most amazing time with my family in Florida”. YOU: “Oh, last year my family and I went there and did this and that and this and we when here and this is what happened” totally squashing their story and time to speak with your dialogue that was never asked for. Here, you are stealing their time, their need to be heard and instead you have made it about you. Try the next time you have a conversation with someone to just listen, and try to not make the responses about you - it is hard, but now you are more conscious and aware!
- Are you the forklift or the bulldozer? When in conversation with people or even in thought, is what you are thinking or speaking lifting people up or crushing them down. This is not something meant to get you down in the dumps, but rather bring to your attention how frequently what we say goes one way or another. So think forklift! And know that you will most likely attract more forklifts rather than bulldozers into your circle of friends.
- How is your relationship with the Earth? We are spirits having a human experience here on Earth, and that being said, nothing is really ours, it’s simply on loan for this time here. I spent time in Thailand twice as a teen on mission’s trips, and there I had the opportunity and privilege to spend some time in the village of Musukee in the foot hills of the Himalayas. There the Thai people live very simply, they take only what they need and share everything. But what was even more profound was their relationship with Mother Earth. Walking the beautiful land just outside the village you would look up and see the horizon, lit by the sunset and many trees cut down, a clustering of new trees growing and one single tree much taller and larger than the rest. That one tree was a reminder to the people the history of the land, how much they have been through, a gratitude to what and how much the Earth has given them. And a reminder of their ancestors in how much they sacrificed, and a reminder to them asking how much they are doing for future generations. This concept I still carry with me, garbage on the ground, simply giving back to the Earth, as the Earth too is on loan to us in this human experience.
- How much do you use the words mine, my, I and can you stop this lingo? We often get a sense of pride to say “this is my house”, “my fancy new cell phone or clothes”, “my wonderful kids”, or “my great idea”, are these things really ours, or are they opportunities in this lifetime, gifts in a sense, and at any moment a gift can be taken away. Now don’t get upset, but what I am trying to point out is celebrating those things and people in a sense of ownership versus a sense of comradery, it should be a celebration not a comparison of yours to theirs.
- Finally, are you stealing from yourself? Are you stealing from your own uniqueness? Are you too worried about the conflict of others, what others will think? Here you steal your own unique outlook and damper it with concepts you don’t even know to be true (and usually they are not). Here you are living in something other than the now, and anything other than the now is simply not real.

My daughter's new Miniature Australian Shepherd Pup; Dallas
- Miniature Australian Shepherd -
Throughout the history of the Aussie, small (under 18") dogs can be seen in historical photographs - in fact, many breed experts believe that the original Aussie was selectively bred larger as sheep ranching decreased and cattle ranching increased. Cattle ranchers preferred a larger dog to work the larger stock. Some Aussie owners have continued to prefer a smaller sized Aussie, while others prefer the larger.
In 1968 Doris Cordova, a horse woman in Norco, California, began a breeding program specifically to produce very small Australian Shepherds, most famously Cordova's Spike. Spike was placed with Bill and Sally Kennedy, also of Norco, California, to continue to develop a line of miniature Aussies under the B/S kennel name. Another horseman, Chas Lasater of Valhalla Kennels, soon joined the ranks of mini breeders. In the 1980s fanciers formed member clubs (North American Miniature Australian Shepherd Club of the USA and the Miniature Australian Shepherd Association) and registries to promote the smaller dogs in particular. | [

GRANGE 5s v BORDER REIVERS
This match would decide the East of Scotland League 4 Champions. Grange 5s went into the match top of the table but only ONE point ahead of the Border Reivers. Both teams fancied their chances and there were plenty of twists and turns in the match.
Games (Reivers Players first)
Del Sharratt 0-3 Rory Gilbride.
Sharratt was off-form in the first rubber and was disappointed not to win any games, another day would see the score reversed but Del was just one pace too slow, or one inch to far for too many shots and Ruaridh enjoyed taking the opener for Grange 5s (6-15, 9-15, 12-15)
Pat Spence 3-2 Alex Yovanivich
This was a Victory clawed from the depths of defeat for Spence in this rubber. Spence played accurate Sqaus hShots in contrast to Yovanovich who was fast and just ran for everything but was pretty messy with his shots. Yovanovich broke up Spence’s rhythm fairly effectively in the first couple of games motoring off to a 2-0 lead; but Spence persevered and played some bluff shots which fruatrated Yovanovich and Spence’s great Placement of shots brought it back to 2-2. Spence was on a roll and Yovanovich was getting frustrated and was his own worst enemy as he lost focus and Spence’s shots got to him and Yovanovich seemed to lose a yard in pace. Spence completed his comeback to take the Victory and make it 1-1 in rubbers. Yovanovich didn’t take the Spence comeback very well and stormed off court after. (9-15, 10-15, 15-6, 15-9, 15-9)
Jordan Reid 2-3 Doug Imrie
Reid was disappointed not to take victory in this match, Reid felt he should have takem more from this, but the rhythm in this match was often broken up with the players asking for Lets and Strokes rather than playing the ball and this kept the Referee busy but didn’t make for a particularly flowing game, this one also went the distance and the scored were close, this one could have genuinely gone either way but the pressure of the match played on Reids mind and Imrie kept composure to take the decider 15-13 for 3-2. (13-15, 15-11, 15-12, 9-15, 12-15)
Robert Koenig 3-2 Adam McKay
This was another match where the Reivers player felt he should have won; McKay was again the more precise player but Koenig seemed to have the engine of a Tank and just didn’t stop running about all match. McKay lost several points in the first couple of games by trying to kill the ball rather than playing the percentage shots and the ball would go out form McKays racket. When McKay won the third game 17-15 t ogo 2-1 up, it wa sobvious he was wearying whereas Koenig just didn’t stop tunning. The next game seen McKay play more shots down the wall rather than trying to win every point and when he got into rallies he would win the points. But after going 11-9 down in the fourth, McKay’s head went down and Koenig took it with four consecutive serves for 2-2 and to set up the decider. Although it was better squash in the fifth the fitness of Koenig won out for Grange 5’s and this 3-2 rubber won the Match and the League Title for Grange 5’s. (15-11, 9-15, 17-15, 9-15, 13-15)
Tony Elliot 1-3 Iain Green
The Usual Reliable Elliot found himself up against a formidable opponent in Green; Elliot was oozing with confidence having just won the Galashiels Squash Club Championships a few days previous. But Green proved a Step Up from anyone Elliot had faced so far and a valiant effort from Elliot proved to be in vein. (9-15, 17-15, 7-15, 6-15)
Reivers Captain Sharratt was gutted not to have took the League title, “I was determined to get the title, we spent enough years propping the East Leagues up and this would have been awesome. Second place is a fantastic achievement though; it has been a curtailed season due to COVID and some Clubs struggled to find players so the league was more a ”social” aspect. But Border Reivers team has had a good vibe this year and the camaraderie was evident throughout which helped the teamwork and no doubt contributed to our success. We have a Friendly rivalry with Grange and we are Delighted for them | [

A blockchain is a digital ledger that records data in a secure, tamper-proof way. It is distributed across a network of computers and is used to track transactions and store data. Each computer or node in the network stores a record of all the transactions that have taken place, creating an ever-growing list, known as the blockchain. Whenever a new transaction takes place, it is added to the chain, making it virtually impossible to modify or delete any of the data without approval from the entire network. This makes the blockchain an ideal technology for verifying information, maintaining data security and protecting against cyberattacks. | [

The study of soil water movement under nonisothermal conditions requires knowledge of the hydraulic properties as a function of temperature. A dual-energy gamma system was used to investigate temperature effects on the water retention curve and the hydraulic conductivity function of a Norfolk sandy loam soil (Typic Paleudults). These hydraulic properties were determined from simultaneous measurements of soil water pressure head, volumetric water content, and soil temperature at 13 measurement points along a lucite flow cell during transient drainage conditions while maintaining a temperature gradient. It was concluded that temperature influences water retention more than can be explained by surface tension changes of pure water only. Entrapped air was not considered to be the primary cause of the larger temperature effect. The influence of temperature on measured hydraulic conductivities was close to predictions from viscosity changes for most of the measurement points. Deviations from predicted hydraulic conductivity values were attributed to thermal vapor flow. Temperature had little or no effect when the hydraulic conductivity was plotted vs. soil water pressure head.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

It was not the Nat King Cole version of "White Christmas" the suspect requested, but it worked.
A Pennsylvania man allegedly shooting at eleven officers during a ten-hour break that eventually ended on Christmas night On Wednesday morning, a SWAT officer surrendered after singing the holiday song he wanted to hear.
The suspect Nathaniel R. Lewis, 34, from East Vincent Township, was reportedly accused by the process of separation from his son's wife during the holidays, said Chester District Attorney Thomas Hogan, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"This is a Christmas miracle in our book, all because a negotiator was ready to sing him a Christmas carol," Hogan said to Lancaster's WGAL TELEVISION. "[It was a] enormous work all around."
Lewis later fired four shots from a rifle, according to a sworn statement. Then Lewis' strange wife called the police for a wellness check at their home, the newspaper reports.
At 22:30, the Chester District Regional Emergency Services Team arrived, the report said.
Just before 1am Wednesday Emergency Response Team members heard several shots from a second-floor window, then a shot from the house, authorities said.
Shortly after six o'clock in the morning, Lewis shot twice at the police for the affidavit. No officers were injured, the Inquirer reported.
The bullets hit the SWAT team armored car, another house and a civilian vehicle, WGAL-TV reported. [Wednesday] At around 7:00 am on Wednesday, Lewis asked a negotiator to sing a Christmas song, the authorities said.
"He asked for" White Christmas, "the Nat King Cole version," Hogan said Thursday.
The negotiator, who has over a decade of SWAT team experience, began singing, Hogan said.
Lewis then came out According to the Inquirer, he was handed over by the house and handed over.
He was arrested and charged eleven charges of attempted murder with a police officer, the station reported. | [

It’s PanCAN Action Week! Time to join advocates from all over the country in sending a powerful and unified message to Congress. That message? That funding pancreatic cancer research must be a national priority.
PanCAN Action Week kicks off Monday, June 13, with “Voices in Action,” our inspiring, free virtual event that will show you how your advocacy, including sharing your story with your members of Congress, makes a difference for pancreatic cancer patients.
Hosted by PanCAN President and CEO Julie Fleshman, JD, MBA, and featuring Congresswoman Anna Eshoo of California; a federally funded pancreatic cancer researcher; and your fellow advocates, including Lisa Niemi Swayze, who lost her husband Patrick to pancreatic cancer, you don’t want to miss it. RSVP for “Voices in Action.”
After “Voices in Action,” you can call, email and tweet at your members of Congress during PanCAN Action Week. We’re making it easy to do so with step-by-step instructions.
You’ll ask that Congress:
- Increase the investment in the Pancreatic Cancer Research Program at the Department of Defense from $15 million to $20 million to support pancreatic cancer research
- Invest $49 billion for the National Institutes of Health, including $7.76 billion for the National Cancer Institute
- Join the Congressional Caucus on the Deadliest Cancers to support the community and raise awareness in Congress for cancers taking the most American lives
Increased research funding is critical to our vision of creating a world where pancreatic cancer patients don’t just survive – they thrive.
And we can’t urge Congress to increase federal funding without you! Get involved in advocacy now, during PanCAN Action Week, starting with “Voices in Action.” | [

Stress and mental health.
Located at the top of the kidneys are the adrenal glands. This is where our stress hormones are produced and released into the bloodstream to circulate the body.
When our stress response is triggered, the brain signals the adrenal glands to release the stress hormones.
The main stress hormone, cortisol, works to pause other systems in the body such as the immune system, to preserve as much energy as possible (ready for fight or flight).
When we experience stress for prolonged periods of time, the stress hormones begin to create unbalance within the body, impacting our mental wellbeing. | [

An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 crashed a few minutes after takeoff Sunday morning from Addis Ababa. There were 157 people onboard and it has been reported and confirmed by the airline there were no survivors. The eight crew members and 149 passengers were enroute to Nairobi, Kenya.
In a statement, the airline’s CEO expressed “profound sympathy and condolences to the families and loved ones of passengers and crew who lost their lives in this tragic accident.”
A tweet from the off of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia said, “The Office of the PM, on behalf of the Government and people of Ethiopia, would like to express it’s deepest condolences to the families of those that have lost their loved ones on Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 on regular scheduled flight to Nairobi, Kenya this morning.”
Investigators, including the NTSB, will begin searching for the cause of the crash of the Boeing 737 Max 8 plane, which was delivered to the airline in November and was new. It is reported that a Swedish flight-tracking website, flightradar24, showed the plane “had unstable vertical speed” after taking off.
The B737 Max 8 is the same type of aircraft involved in the Lion Air Crash back in October. | [

Read more to learn about my views on religion, and comment below letting me know your views.
I do not subscribe to any one religions views. I do not consider myself religious, but rather spiritual, as popular as saying that seems to be lately. I like to consider myself an “eclectic spiritualist”. I take the views and ideas of any religion that I feel fits my life/views/beliefs/values.
I think everyone has the right to believe what they want. I am fascinated with different views and love learning about all sorts of religions.
My one complaint about religion is those who think they have the right to tell others that they are wrong and shove their own views down that persons throat. I once read something that said you almost have to find your religion to be the only one otherwise by nature of accepting that someone elses views your saying yours may not be right. However, I still think is is VERY wrong to go about shoving your views on someone else.
And then there are the religious extremist, like the Westboro Baptist Church, but they are a whole different strain of “religious” people. They’re essentially a cult, and I’m such most other baptist churches believe they are too extreme.
But those are just my views.
What are YOUR views of religion?
I’m curious to hear what you have to say.
I’ll respect your views just as long as you are respectful of mine. | [

Astronomers observe a dense disk and a bright funnel at the centre of the Circinus galaxy
An international research team led by Konrad Tristram from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, obtained the most detailed view so far of the warm dust in the environment of a supermassive black hole in an active galaxy.
At the heart of the Circinus galaxy. The right image shows the inner 1000 light years of the Circinus galaxy. Blinding light and gaseous material are ejected by the active nucleus (located at the black box). They escape only along a conical region towards the northwest (upper right part of the image), leading to the white V-shaped structure in this image. Along other directions, the nuclear region is hidden by dense gas and dust. This obscuring dust has now been investigated with unprecedented detail with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. The false-colour model image on the left shows the dust emission and corresponds to the region marked by the black box in the right image. The emission comes from a relatively thin, disk-like structure (white) as well as dust elongated perpendicular to it. The disk is also seen by water emission (red-green-blue line). The dust emission is more absorbed towards the southeast (bottom left) than the northwest (top right), illustrated by the change from violet to green colours.

The observations of the Circinus galaxy show, for the first time, that the dust directly illuminated by the central engine of the active galaxy is located in two distinct components: an inner warped disk and a surrounding larger distribution of dust. Most likely, the larger component is responsible for most of the obscuration of the inner regions close to the supermassive black hole.
In active galactic nuclei, enormous amounts of energy are released due to the feeding of the supermassive black hole in the centre of the galaxy. Such black holes have masses of a million or billion times the mass of the sun. The matter spiralling in onto the black hole becomes so hot and luminous that it outshines its entire galaxy with billions of stars. The huge amounts of energy released also affect the surrounding galaxy. Active galactic nuclei are therefore thought to play an important role in the formation and evolution of galaxies and hence in the formation of the universe as presently seen.
Using the MIDI instrument at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in the Atacama Desert of Chile, the research team obtained an unprecedented clear view of the warm dust in the nucleus of the Circinus galaxy. At a distance of only 13 million light years, the Circinus galaxy contains one of the closest and brightest active galactic nuclei.
“We obtained at least twice the amount of interferometric data than for any other galaxy”, proudly reports Konrad Tristram from the Max-Planck-Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR), the lead author of the paper. “Our observations make the Circinus Galaxy by far the best observed extragalactic source in optical and infrared interferometry.” By combining the light of two telescopes, the interferometric observations increase the resolution to that of a telescope of 92 meters in diameter.
In the case of the Circinus Galaxy, the scientists could, for the first time, show that the emission of the nuclear dust comes from two distinct components, an inner disk-like component and an extended component significantly elongated in polar direction. The dust disk in the Circinus Galaxy has a size of about 3 light years and agrees well with a warped molecular disk revealed by water emission.
This inner disk is surrounded by a much bigger dust distribution with a size of at least 6 light years. We only see the inner edge of this dust distribution, which is directly illuminated by the radiation coming from the central region. This inner funnel appears elongated in polar direction. Its southeastern side is significantly more obscured by dust than the northwestern side. This leads to the observed strong asymmetry and colour change in the observed emission.
“From this, we deduce that it is the larger dust component, which is responsible for hiding the central engine and for collimating the visible ionisation cone”, explains Leonard Burtscher from the Max-Planck-Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching. “We can only see the inner, directly illuminated edges of that component. This is certainly in contrast to some earlier speculations.”
There appear to be two types of active galactic nuclei: one where we have a direct view to the inner part of the nucleus with the accretion disk where the energy is released (the “central engine”) and one where the inner part appears to be hidden. This dichotomy has been explained by a doughnut-shaped distribution of dense gas and dust surrounding the central part of the active nucleus, the so-called “torus”. If observed face-on, we can directly see the central engine | [

in with the total amount of dynamics to go about growing his plant life. After you have planted your seed products, make sure they reach least 18 time of immediate light every day (which means you will probably need to purchase a light or two, because the sun will not be out that long generally in most places, and you also want immediate light and warmth on your plants).
There are the 30 to 40 time a week she now spends in her locked basement grow room, tending to the 72 finicky pot plant life Ezra's doctor motivated he's permitted to have because of his severe condition and carefully extracting the results into just enough 100 % pure cannabis oil to meet her son's needs.
The biggest thing, you know, I refer to people who would come in plus they would skirt around what they wished to ask about, ‘Oh your growing winter tomato vegetables indoors.' First got it,” Braginton explains that a lot of people might be skittish about disclosing to her that they need advice about growing cannabis indoors.
When people talk about different effects from using different kinds of cannabis, they're actually discussing variants in the vegetable chemistry and the ratio of the different substances to each other. Ideally, a container plant needs to increase, or vegetate,” for at least a few weeks before flowering.
Too little proper ventilation can cause the pores in the leaves of your marijuana plant to start to clog, leading to that leaf to eventually expire off. Men are always the first to show their gender, you start with tiny bloom buds at the ends of their branches and tops that might be mistaken for the female buds that will be the real best smoke in terms of potency, perfume, and taste.
Unless you arrange for this root progress accordingly then the plant's growth will be stunted. I don't mess with the seed products, too much chance to screw them up. I seed them in soaked basic soil. Sometimes it appears that the stems of the herb in its start are crimson in color.
Under the VHO lights, you can have to raise the equipment and lighting every day this means a growth rate of ate least two inches each day. Cannabis growers often root clones in peat pellets (compressed peat moss) or in rock and roll wool. Also 6 flower hydroponic grow system with pump and oxygenator, 6 world wide web pots, 6 grow cubes, nutrients.
By using commercial containers, growers can control air temperatures, water temperature, moisture levels, CO2 levels and ventilation with precision accuracy. But unless you know someone who increases, I don't see an option to officially purchase seeds or clones in this express before 2014, when retail pot facilities open.
Make sure vegetation don't get any light during their nights. Eventually, you will want to give your plant life an increased dosage of darkness, about an even break up of 12 time of night, 12 time of day, because this induces flowering. Young seedlings are best expanded under LED lamps, fluorescents and material halides.
It has some nutrients in it for the first 3 weeks of your plant life life. Growing one flower is the perfect way to try your palm at growing pot without investing a huge amount of money and time, making it much more low-risk than if you were trying it numerous plants. | [

Red blood cells are like delivery trucks that deliver oxygen to the vital organs in our body. Iron is the flatbed of the truck which holds the oxygen in place. Our body loses iron when we lose blood, and women are at the highest risk for low iron since blood is lost monthly during childbearing years. Dr. Heather VanderMeulen’s joint 3rd place entry to our Lay Science Writing Competition dissects these issues.
Dr. Jason Acker was recently awarded the University of Alberta Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) Graduate Student Supervisor Award. We chatted to Dr. Acker to find out what this award means to him.

Manchester takes the top spot as the UK’s leading growth city across multiple sectors according to CBRE’s latest research report ‘Which City? Which Sector? Real estate prospects over the next decade’ Which City? Which Sector? | CBRE UK The city was ranked first in offices, urban logistics and self storage, student accommodation, multi family housing, single family housing and was second only to Oxford and Cambridge in life sciences.
CBRE examined the growth prospects for a range of real estate sectors across the 50 largest regional towns and cities in the UK. Findings were informed by economic drivers (including GDP, employment and income growth), demographic trends and property market data such as supply pipeline, local universities and housing affordability. The top 10 performing cities and growth sectors were identified.
John Ogden, Managing Director – North at CBRE said; “When identifying key growth markets for office real estate, economic and demographic factors are fundamental. Manchester features top in CBRE’s rankings, partly because it is expected to benefit from the strongest GDP growth. The size of the talent pool is another key factor used when forecasting office demand and Manchester is ranked first for growth in working age population and office employment.”
Supply factors are also key when considering a market’s ability to support future demand. In the flight to quality office space, CBRE expects pre-letting of development space to continue. 29% of space under construction is already pre-let or under offer in eight of the top ten markets where CBRE tracks pipeline data.
Manchester was also ranked first ahead of Nottingham and Edinburgh in the purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) sector.
Ogden continues; “The success of the UK PBSA sector is intricately linked to the demand for higher education, so it is easy to see how Manchester would rise to the top spot as home to The University of Manchester which is the largest and most applied to university in the UK. The UK PBSA sector is characterised by an imbalance in demand supply and we anticipate this imbalance will remain a feature of the sector as demand for PBSA continues to outstrip the pace of development.”
The Multi-family Housing (MFH) sector has seen rapid growth over the last decade. Also referred to as Build-to-Rent (BtR) in the UK, there are currently more than 242,000 BtR homes either complete, under construction or in planning.
Tom Sinclair, Senior Director of Investment Properties at CBRE, commented; “Manchester’s strong rental and economic fundamentals place it in top spot and the city is ranked as the top potential growth city for MFH in 2030, forecast to see 6% growth. Manchester already has the largest proportion of households (29%) in the private rented sector (PRS) sector which is set to continue due to the strong expected population growth over the next decade.”
CBRE’s top growth cities for Single Family Housing (SFH) were based on forecasts for economic growth, family population and rental affordability.
Sinclair continues; “Again Manchester leads the way followed by Birmingham and Bristol in this sector, which is still in its infancy in the UK relative to other residential investment markets. Cities with a strong economic forecast that will bring new investment, new jobs and more housing demand perform well in CBRE’s rankings. Manchester and Reading rank first in employment, with Manchester forecasted to see 5.9% growth.”
With ongoing growth in online shopping a major driver in the demand for urban logistics space, CBRE identified locations with a high online penetration percentage, access to high-speed internet and a forecasted growth in population by age groups with online spend propensity. Manchester was ranked number one, ahead of Bristol and Sheffield, with 10.63% growth of 34-49 year olds. Labour availability for future urban logistics facilities was considered with Manchester having large available labour pools which future logistics occupiers could access. Additionally, urbanisation and lifestyle changes are driving self storage demand particularly in cities which are forecast to experience strong GDP and disposable income growth such as Manchester.
Manchester was ranked third in the life sciences sector with Cambridge and Oxford claiming first and second spots respectively. London, Oxford and Cambridge are widely acknowledged as the traditional epicentres of the UK life sciences sector and have continually evolved. Despite already being established as hubs for innovation, the future trajectory of both Oxford and Cambridge remains strong. Manchester has circa 2million square foot of lab space coming online by the end of the decade making it the regional centre of excellence.
John Ogden, MD CBRE North said:
“To see Manchester outperform the other regional centres in these six key sectors is a coup for the city and demonstrates the strength and resilience of the North West property market. Crucial research such as this enables us to identify trends and forecast with certainty for our diverse client base and as a business we continue to thrive in this vibrant and forward-thinking growth city.”

A Guide to Perfecting Body Polishing At Home
23 found this useful
Whether you are a would-be bride, or groom, or just a skincare enthusiast who is looking to get a full-body glow, body polishing is what you must consider trying.
While generally body polishing is done at spas, you can also get a derma polishing treatment at home with makeO skinnsi. You will be glad to know that you can get full body polishing without spending a fortune at makeO skinnsi.
Here is a complete guide that will tell you everything you must know about this treatment.
Is Body Polishing at Home Beneficial for Your Skin?
People have a misconception that body polishing is a luxury that can be skipped. However, the truth is that getting a body polishing treatment once in a while is important as it helps to get rid of impurities like dead skin cells, dirt, dust, and sweat from your body.
Typically, a body polishing treatment is done by a professional who will use a cream or a body scrub to thoroughly scrub and exfoliate your skin.
Stepwise Procedure for Body Polishing at Home
If you have decided to go the DIY route, then you will require a pumice stone, loofah, a DIY body polishing at home scrub, and some olive oil or coconut oil.
Here is a quick step-by-step guide that will help you become a pro at carrying out a relaxing body polishing session at your abode.
Take a nice shower or bath with lukewarm water so that your skin is clean.
Heat some coconut or olive oil and nicely massage it on your body. Leave it for 10 to 20 minutes so that your skin nicely absorbs the oil.
After 20 minutes, take the DIY body polish that you have prepared and nicely rub it on your skin with a loofah. Make sure that you scrub in a circular motion as it will help in improving your blood circulation and removing all the dead skin cells.
You can consider using a pumice stone for your elbows and knees.
After this, take a relaxing long bath.
Home Remedies To Make the DIY Body Polish
Here are a few simple yet effective body polishing at home ideas and ingredients that you can try out to get soft and supple skin.
Sugar, Honey, and Jojoba Oil
While jojoba oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, sugar is a great exfoliator and honey acts as a moisturising and hydrating ingredient. This body polish is easy to make as you simply need to blend these ingredients in a jar and use it for your DIY body polishing at home session.
Sugar, Almond, and Strawberry Scrub
Blend some strawberries and sugar in a mixer and add some almond oil to it. This body polishing scrub will make your skin look fresh and glowing in no time.
Oatmeal and Grape Seed Oil
Add a cup of oatmeal powder and a few teaspoons of grapeseed oil in a bowl and mix them well. You can also add sea salt to make this exfoliating scrub even more effective. Grapeseed oil is packed with the goodness of Vitamins C, D, and E, and oatmeal acts as a great exfoliator, making this body scrub a must-try.

Miami teachers participate in hands-on science education program ANGARI’s COE: Sharks program aboard ANGARI Foundation's research vessel.
Today, although a bit wet and windy, ANGARI Foundation and our partners successfully coordinated the release of 240 eco-friendly, yellow, wooden drift cards from 6 sites in and around the Lake Worth Lagoon and Intracoastal Waterway as part of our 10th Lake Worth Lagoon Drift Card Study. This citizen science experiment helps us gain a better understanding of how marine debris is transported and accumulates in the area.
After their release, the drift cards float on the water’s surface, being carried by local currents and tides, until the point at which they are found by citizen scientists around our community.
As of 12:45pm today, the drift cards are in the water, and now we need your help! Community members are invited to participate in this citizen science experiment by locating, recovering, and reporting found drift cards along with a photo of the card to the email address firstname.lastname@example.org
Learn more about Lagoon Drift on our website and check out our Facebook event and social media for updates and photos from this experiment. Historically, we have had high drift card recovery rates for the study, and with your help, we hope to keep up that trend. | [

Obama: Siege On Mt. Sinjar Is Broken
Aug. 14, 2014
(Martha's Vineyard, MA) -- President Obama says the U.S. military has helped break the siege on Iraqis trapped on Mount Sinjar. Obama announced today that the military has delivered more than 100-thousand meals to Yazidis and others who had fled the marauding ISIS forces in northern Iraq. He said advisors on the mountain have reported that the meals are getting around to people in need, and the people who are trapped there are escaping their situation. Obama said the situation on the mountain has improved, and Americans should be proud. | [

Location: The apartment is approximately 20 minutes by foot from Trg bana Jelačića (the city center); largely along Ilica ulica, Zagreb’s trendiest shopping street; and a 5-minute walk from the Republike Austrije Tram Stop (nos. 1,2,6, or 11 - see http://free-zg.htnet.hr/muzar/grad/velkamapa.jpg for details). In comparison with most other accommodation options in Zagreb, expensive and budget alike, this is a comparatively good location, especially considering that the area is extremely quiet and safe but also close to a busy commercial area. The almost universal Croatian plague of graffiti is mercifully not in evidence nearby.
Room: I stayed in a single room (with two beds – Mr. Muzar charges per room) with its own bathroom. It was reasonably spacious in terms both of what I was used to having stayed in neighboring countries and by Croatian standards. The furnishings were quite new, and the bathroom was spotless (by far the finest I’ve seen in any private room). As is typical of Croatian private rooms, towels and hand soap were provided but shampoo and body soap were not. Crucially, given Zagreb’s harsh winters, the room is well heated and sufficient blankets were provided on the comfortable (thought somewhat narrow) bed. The room included a television (which only receives terrestrial Croatian channels) and a hi-fi sound system with tape and CD players.
Service: Mr. Muzar resides elsewhere (and also rents several other less centrally located rooms) but was always available on his cellular phone. Besides arriving and departing, I had no cause to deal with him, although he very kindly lent me books on local attractions (as opposed to the tourist office brochures most hosts provide.) He very kindly did not charge me for my having accidentally broken a glass and accepts both kuna and euro at the official exchange rate (as opposed to many hosts who inflate it.).
Please see http://free-zg.htnet.hr/muzar/smjestaje.html for further information and rates.

World Vegan Day is observed globally on 1st November every year. This day is celebrated to spread benefits of veganism for humans, non-human animals, and the natural environment. Vegan Day is an opportunity to promote the benefits of a vegan diet and veganism in general.
The term vegan was coined by Donald Watson and derived from the word Vegetarian. At that time, the differentiation was that Vegans did not consume dairy products. Later this extended to eggs, and by 1951, veganism had become a movement of people who did not partake in the exploitation of animals. Each year there are a number of festivals and exhibitions held around the world by vegan societies. In addition, there are many local events, talks and cooking demonstrations organised by individuals. Vegan Day is an opportunity to promote the benefits of a vegan diet and veganism in general.
History of World Vegan Day:
The day was established in 1994 by Louise Wallis, then Chair of The Vegan Society in the United Kingdom, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the organisation and the coining of the terms “vegan” and “veganism”. The President of the Vegan Society decided to elect the date of the 1st of November. This is now recognised as the date on which the Vegan Society was founded and on which Vegan Day would be observed. | [

Third year high school student, Shino Yuzuru, is a boy with a beautiful face and an undesirable personality; he is laid back, impolite, and blunt. Soon after he goes out with someone, they dump him once his true personality starts to surface. His junior in the archery club, Seryou Touji, is a well-known ladies’ man. A rumor about him circulates in school, stating that Seryou will agree to go out with the first person to ask him out on Monday, before promptly dumping that person on Sunday. Despite the school knowing this, Seryou remains popular with girls because, for the seven days he dates them, Seryou will make his partner feel absolutely special. Hearing the rumor, Shino becomes curious about Seryou. One Monday morning, he greets Seryou outside of the school’s entrance and jokingly asks him out. However, Seryou takes him seriously, and so begins Shino’s seven days with him. | [

Outline the general procedure followed in solving problems 6f the first type. The equations of motion of any system having a finite number of degrees of freedom, can be obtained directly from 4. Also write out T in these coordinates. Now, it is a fact of experience that Newton’s second law expressed in the simple form of 1. A coordinate frame is attached to the inside of an automobile which is moving in the usual manner along a street with curves, bumps, stop lights and traffic cops.
See also Example 4. Hence 2 reduces to Fcapprox. This method is straightforward but may be long and tedious. Through the use of these equations, “superfluous coordinates” can be eliminated from transformation equations, kinetic energy, potential energy and other quantities. Tensions in ropes are represented by t v t v t 3t 4.
Find V for those that are conservative. It is evident from the preceding section that the degrees of freedom of a system depend not only on the number of masses involved but also on how the motion of each is restricted physically.
Schaum’s Outline of Theory and Problems of Lagrangian Dynamics
It may be regarded as a basic postulate. Considering spherical coordinates, let us determine the well-known expression for a Bthe component of acceleration along a tangent to a 9 coordinate line, by an application of 3M. Integrals of these second order differential equations give r and 6 as functions of time.
Search the history of over billion web pages on the Internet. Let us again assume that we are dealing lagrahgian a single particle which is free to move on a smooth surface.
The particle of mass m f shown in Fig. This information is, however, supplied by the fixed-stars definition.
Write out T in terms of the coordinates indicated. In case m is variable, equa- tion 1. Show that for small displacements from equilibrium the potential energy is closely approximated by Fig.
Schaum’s Outline Series Paperback: For reasons discussed and illustrated in the last part of Chapter 2, forces of constraint for “smooth” constraints cancel out in Description This book includes solved problems.
Schaum’s Outline of Lagrangian Dynamics : Dare A. Wells :
Note, a In some cases the algebra involved in eliminating superfluous coordinates may be difficult. Since the motion is thus limited, the positions Fig.
The mass m, Fig. It has been assumed that the springs do not affect the electric fields about the charges. We shall now derive a very general expression for the kinetic energy of a system of p particles having n degrees of freedom and Sp — n degrees of constraint.
We can only say that they represent a compact statement of past experience regarding the behavior of a wide variety of mechanical systems. During any given interval of time dt, m undergoes a specific displacement ds dx f dy, dz measured say relative to stationary axes. No force is acting perpen- dicular to r. See the following example. If the forces are of such a nature depend on coordinates in such a way that when the system is displaced from one configuration to another the work done by the forces depends only on the initial and final coordinates of the particles, the forces are said to be conservative and the system is referred to as a conservative system.
Examples should make clear this statement and how the desired results are obtained.
The system now, of course, has three degrees of freedom. If the man pitches a ball, Fig. On the contrary, as will soon be evident, they are employed perhaps just as frequently as inertial. Suppose we want the accelera- tion components of the particle expressed in certain coordinates, the frame of which is attached to the platform where account is taken of the motions of the earth, the elevator and rotation of the platform.
Acceleration Determined by Lagrange’s Equations Section 3. A determination of the frequencies of motion of the “two-particle” system shown in Fig. Locating point p, shown in Fig. Let a represent the position of the system with no motion applied to B and m in equilibrium under the action of gravity and the spring.

Friday Funding Roundup
Tango Networks: Stealthy Richardson, Texas-based fixed/mobile convergence startup Tango Networks Inc. completed its first funding round, totaling $25 million, this week. Investors include Motorola Ventures, Nortel Networks Ltd., Signature Capital LLC, TWJ Capital LLC, and Meridian Capital Ltd.
The company has been operating in stealth mode since 2005 while it completed development of the technology behind its Abrazo system. The company is calling its platform a "hybrid architecture" that can support both legacy and IP PBXs. Tango Networks will formally launch the Abrazo in late March at the CTIA Wireless 2007 conference in Orlando, Fla. The Tango Abrazo enables users to be reached on either their mobile or desk phones with a single number and unified voicemail. In addition, users have access to "desk phone features" such as conference calling, call transfer, and other advanced features from their mobile phones.
Meraki Networks: The "consumer wireless mesh" startup Meraki Networks Inc. says it completed its first round of funding this week. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company, which was spun out in 2006 from work done at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has raised $5 million in a series A round led by Sequoia Capital.
As well as the influential venture capital firm, Meraki has already received small investments from Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) and other Silicon Valley angels. The startup is probably best known for its work with Google, which has been testing the firm's routers for indoor coverage at its Mountain View mesh network.
Bolstering indoor coverage isn't really the name of Meraki's game, however -- the firm was founded to make it cheap and easy to set up WiFi mesh networks in homes, apartments, and even entire communities. The firm will soon start selling the $49 Meraki Mini 802.11b/g router off its Website to facilitate this aim.
The company claims that in its beta program it has already unwired "more than 15,000 users in 25 countries around the world."
Beceem Communications: Lastly, the Santa Clara, Calif., mobile WiMax chipset vendor Beceem Communications Inc. grabbed a massive $40 million series D round, bringing its total funding to over $90 million. The firm is working on chipsets in anticipation of wireless broadband rollouts in the second half of this year. (See Beceem Gets $40M for more details.)

Ascafe decaffeinated coffee is our single origin decaffeinated coffee made specifically for espresso. This unique coffee is decaffeinated using natural sugar cane extract. Expect a creamy body and notes of walnuts, red fruits and dark chocolate.
Sugarcane is a widely grown crop in Colombia, so it makes economic sense for farmers to use it for the decaffeination process as well. Ascafe operates throughout Colombia, helping to develop communities and the next generation of young coffee farmers.
Expect a creamy body and notes of walnuts and red berries.

The evolving story of Korean Air Lines Flight 7 reveals the growing importance of space-based navigation and intelligence systems and the superpower race to achieve this new ''high ground.''
Moscow says the United States was using the South Korean 747 jumbo jet to trigger Soviet air defense radars so that a passing US satellite could monitor them for intelligence purposes. US officials deny this. But the charge seems a natural response to American officials' assertions that they don't need civilian airliners to do their sleuth work, since satellites are so much better.
According to officials here, the Soviets are behind in their satellite sophistication. This is one reason they launch many more than the US for military purposes. At the same time, the US is more reliant than the Soviets on satellites for the command and control of weapons and forces as well as intelligence gathering. This adds to Soviet anxiety about US intelligence satellites, which can almost pick out a fly in a bowl of borsch from hundreds of miles up and regularly pass over the most sensitive and secret Soviet military bases.
In Washington, the episode has set off a search for causes of the aircraft's wandering so far off course and ways to prevent future occurrences. According to Federal Aviation Administration and airline officials, the inertial navigation system used on many airliners is highly reliable. It has an average drift rate of about 1 nautical mile per hour, far less than the 310 miles KAL Flight 7 strayed over several hours. Officials and aviation experts say pilot laxity is most likely the major cause, if not a principal contributing factor in this case.
Capt. Henry Duffy, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, told a congressional subcommittee this week that errors in programming navigation systems ''in the majority of cases can be directly attributed to the human-factors problems associated with long-haul international flights... spending several hours in a cockpit in a'monitoring role' while fatigue sets the stage for errors.''
The search for preventive measures is focusing on the Air Force's new Global Positioning System (GPS), which could have vast civil transport implications as well as dramatically increase US military capabilities.
Stationed 11,000 miles above Earth, this grid of 18 satellites, dubbed ''Navstar,'' will allow ships, aircraft, and even individual soldiers to: position themselves anywhere on or above the earth's surface within a few meters; check time within microseconds; and measure speed to within less than one kilometer per hour. Like shooting the stars in celestial navigation, this will provide an extremely accurate external check on internal navigation systems now generally relied on over long routes.
''With this satellite constellation, an aircraft will be able to locate itself anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day,'' said Loren De Groot of Rockwell International, which is building the Navstar satellites for the Air Force. Mr. De Groot was the navigator on a recent test flight in which a business jet flew from Iowa to the Paris Air Show. Using the six GPS satellites already in place, the aircraft flew across the Atlantic and then stopped within 26 feet of its assigned target spot on the airport ramp.
Current plans call for Navstar to provide two-dimensional coverage by 1987 and global three-dimensional coverage the following year.
In a recent letter to President Reagan, Sen. Charles H. Percy (R) of Illinois noted that partial Navstar coverage along the Great Circle route from North America to the Orient could begin next year. He also said the cost of on-board receivers for this ''virtual fail-safe navigation system'' would be about $7,000, far less than current navigation systems.
Senator Percy and others are urging the Air Force to accelerate the GPS program, and also asking the Pentagon not to impose a user fee on civil aircraft, since the full complement of satellites will be launched and maintained in any case. Mr. Reagan recently said Navstar facilities will be made available to civilian aircraft, but Air Force officials hesitate to accelerate the program.
''I'm not sure we can get it any quicker than we can now,'' said one officer at the Pentagon. ''We're working at what we think is an optimum schedule.'' The Air Force is also researching ''over the horizon'' radar, which could track aircraft beyond the current 165-mile range, as well as the use of satellites to broadcast aircraft position reports back to ground stations.
A Defense Department official told lawmakers this week that GPS will ''greatly benefit the civil sector across a wide spectrum of potential applications,'' but that it will also have a ''dramatic impact on our ability to conduct military operations.''
As with the US space shuttle, the line between military and civil application of satellites is becoming blurred. And this makes it easier for the charges and countercharges over intelligence gathering and flights like KAL 7 to fly. | [

The maximum height of a building is limited according to the width of the road and generally it shall not exceed 1.5 times the width of the road abutting plus the front open space. The limitation of area and height of buildings of different occupancy classes and types of construction shall be achieved by specifying it in terms of FAR (Floor Area Ratio). The FAR will vary depending on the location of the building and the prevailing building by-laws. Based on the allowable FAR and road width, the architects/builders decide the ceiling heights in consultation with the occupants.
As per the National Building Code of India 2005, the height of all rooms for human habitation shall not be less than 2.75 m measured from the surface of the floor to the lowest point of the ceiling (bottom of the slab). In the case of pitched roof, the average height of rooms shall not be less than 2.75 m. The minimum clear head room under a beam, folded plates or eves shall be 2.4 m. In the case of airconditioned rooms, a height of not less than 2.4 m measured from the surface of the floor to the lowest point of air-conditioning duct or the false ceiling shall be provided. For kitchens it is 2.75m, bathrooms 2.1m, lofts 2.2m, mezzanine floors 2.2m, store rooms 2.2m, and basements 2.4 m.
The ceiling heights for educational buildings is 3.6 m (cold regions 3m) and for industrial buildings it is 3.6 m (when airconditioned, 3.0m).
Architects design rooms, halls etc keeping in mind the volume of the space, ventilation and natural lighting requirements and not just the plan sizes. One has to visualise it in three dimensions before finalising the heights. A building can have same ceiling height throughout or it can have higher heights for living areas by providing split levels and double heights.
A lot of research and survey has been conducted world over to decide on the ceiling of ceiling heights! It all finally depends on the comfort of the user. The ceiling heights depend on many factors.
Clearance: Should be comfortable for the tallest individual, depends on the type of ceiling fixtures like lights, fans, ornamental hangings etc. Clear and safe head room below these fixtures is very important.
Temperature: Thermal comfort and radiation from the ceilings are important points. If there is a mechanism to control the radiation, it is better to have higher ceiling height
Ventilation: Higher ceiling heights will have better air circulation but it can also be achieved by proper design and placement of windows and ventilators.
Light and sound: Lower ceilings will necessitate more windows and ventilators for better light and sound effects.
Economics: Lower ceilings will be cost effective as there is savings in the construction materials and it is possible to build more storeys.
University of Minnesota researchers find that ceiling height can affect how a person thinks, feels, and acts.
“When a person is in a space with a 10-ft. ceiling, he/she will tend to think more freely, more abstractly,” said Meyers-Levy. “He/she might process more abstract connections between objects in a room, whereas a person in a room with an 8-ft. ceiling will be more likely to focus on specifics”.

A threat to the peaceful use of nuclear energy
By William F. SHUGHART II
Sixty years ago this December, President Dwight D. Eisenhower turned a dangerous situation around. In an address to the U.N. General Assembly at the height of the Cold War, he made a commitment to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
That commitment is now being threatened: by activists who oppose building a storage depository for nuclear waste and by energy policies that favor any alternative to fossil fuels except a nuclear one.
The goal of Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” vision should be evident. Currently, 68 nuclear power plants are being built around the world, according to the World Nuclear Association. An additional 150 are in the planning stage, and an additional 340 have been proposed.
All of this is in addition to the 437 nuclear plants currently in operation, including 104 in the United States. Overall, nuclear power supplies 12.3 percent of the world’s electricity and it’s the largest source of carbon-free energy.
Since Eisenhower’s historic address to the United Nations, the United States and Russia reached an agreement to dispose of surplus fissionable materials — weapons-grade uranium and plutonium. In one of history’s greatest disarmament successes, 500 metric tons of highly enriched uranium have been removed from Russian warheads once aimed at U.S. cities.
The U.S.-Russia agreement also called for each country to eliminate 34 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium, another material used in nuclear warheads, to keep it out of the hands of terrorists. Just a few grams of plutonium are all that it would take to make a crude nuclear weapon that could render a city the size of Chicago or Los Angeles uninhabitable for decades.
The technology for destroying plutonium has been available for many years. Plutonium is blended with uranium into a so-called mixed-oxide fuel, known as MOX, which can then be used in nuclear power plants to produce electricity. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Nuclear Security Administration has been building a facility for this purpose at its Savannah River site in South Carolina.
The facility is more than 60 percent complete, and $4 billion already has been spent on its construction. But its future is in doubt.
President Obama, in his fiscal 2014 budget, just proposed slashing $132.7 million — more than 29 percent — from the project’s appropriation. “This current plutonium disposition approach may be unaffordable,” the White House budget summary said.
This is the same way the administration killed the planned nuclear waste burial site, which had been under construction at Nevada’s Yucca Mountain.
Although scientists had approved the Nevada site, and $10 billion had been spent on it, Obama pulled the plug in 2011. Consequently, the United States still doesn’t have an underground repository for the tons of radioactive waste now being stored at nuclear power plants around the country.
Policymakers have to provide the necessary funds to complete the Savannah River facility intended to convert weapons-grade plutonium into MOX, and they need to establish an interim site for storing nuclear waste until a permanent repository can be built.
If the United States abandons the South Carolina project and fails to eliminate its surplus weapons-grade plutonium, Russia has said that it will stop converting plutonium into MOX. That could expose Russia’s plutonium stockpiles to the possibility of theft.
President Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” legacy hangs in the balance. Let’s hope Washington has the courage to do what’s right.

Last week, we reviewed MAHLE’s award entry where the company saved 31% of the weight from a powertrain connecting rod. This week we will keep the powertrain theme and take a look back at India’s Maruti Suzuki’s nomination; the optimization of a rear engine mounting bracket for the Maruti Alto.
The engine mount is responsible for taking distributed engine loads and minimizing the vibrations being transferred to the body frame. A lighter engine mount can help to achieve better fuel economy and lower emission levels, thereby improving overall engine performance.
Like Multimatic, Maruti Suzuki wanted to implement design optimization technology to find the ideal layout of material for the engine mounting bracket. In this case, Altair’s own optimization solution, OptiStruct, was used to achieve the best possible solution with a minimum number of iterations.
Topology optimization was used to remove redundant material while still achieving performance targets. The optimized design had to be validated for strength as well as vibration performance to confirm it would match the performance of the baseline design.
The final bracket is 330 grams which corresponds to 15% lighter than the original engine mounting bracket. Maruti Suzuki noted that the same approach could be used for other engine components or similar components in other car models for further weight reduction without affecting design functionality.
Our judging panel were particularly impressed with Maruti Suzuki’s discovery that as well as being able to take weight out of the bracket itself using optimization tools, the design team was able to completely eliminate a bolt in the new design. Using less material in a component or utilizing a lighter material to build structures are excellent strategies, but being able to completely remove a complex feature or component represents the ideal scenario. In this case, optimization technology in combination with Maruti Suzuki’s experienced engineers have managed to identify and remove manufacturing complexity, reduce costs and achieve a 100% weight saving! | [

Revisiting the Smith & Wesson Model 10 and the Colt Official Police | Two Classic “Cop Guns”
Last Updated on
Revisiting the Smith & Wesson Model 10 and the Colt Official Police
For the past two decades police departments across the country have been relying on nothing but semi-automatic pistols made by Glock, Smith & Wesson, Sturm Ruger and Beretta, but for well over seventy years law enforcement officers carried.38 Special revolvers that came from the two biggest gun makers of the day, the Smith & Wesson Model 10, and the Colt Official Police.
The Smith & Wesson Model 10
The Smith & Wesson Model 10 started life as the Military and Police Revolver of 1899, and was also known as the Hand Ejector First Model. With the introduction of this gun Smith & Wesson also gave the world the.38 Special1, which was destined to become the standard cartridge against which all other police rounds were measured. The First Model was lacking a barrel under lug that was to be a facet on later models that held the front locking lug in place. In addition to.38 Special, the First Model also came in.32-20, and.38 Long Colt and had a set of fixed sights.
Three years later Smith & Wesson brought out the Second Model Hand Ejector, more commonly known as the Model 1902 Military & Police Second Model which now had the barrel under lug and used two pins inserted in the hammer sides to prevent them from rubbing on the inside of the action.
In another three years Smith & Wesson came up with the Military & Police Model 1905 which was to become the predecessor of the M&P revolvers available today. The Third Model has the reciprocating cylinder stop and a coil spring and plunger which differed from the leaf spring of the earlier models.
There were some other minor changes over the years, but the 1905 M&P was the gun that made its way into the holsters of a great number of police officers. Barrel lengths were four, five and six-inches to start, and a two-inch barrel was added in 1933. The sights offered were still the fixed blade and groove rear.
The Military & Police (Smith & Wesson didn’t begin calling the M&P the Model 10 until 1958 when they began numbering their model) weighs in at 30 ounces with a four-inch barrel. During World War II Smith & Wesson began making the Victory Model M&P with a parkerized finish and a lanyard swivel. The American Victory had a four-inch barrel and was chambered in.38 Special while the British version, known as the K-2002, was chambered in.38 S&W (.38-200) and came in four, five and six-inch barrel lengths.
The barrels on the Model 10 from inception were tapered with a large rounded fixed front sight and a groove for the rear until 1961 when a heavy barrel was added to the line with a ramped front sight. Both versions were commonly used by police departments well into the 1990s with little modifications. Some departments (like the New York State Department of Corrections) still use Model 10s as their primary duty weapon. The grips were originally made of wood, but the current Model 10 can be ordered with rubber grips as well. The Model 10 manufactured by Smith & Wesson today is nearly the same gun that was being produced one hundred years ago.
The Colt Official Police
The genesis for the Colt double action revolver began with the Colt 1889 or the New Army & Navy chambered in.38 Long Colt. When Smith & Wesson brought out their Military & Police revolver ten years later their.38 Special provided much better performance than the.38 Long Colt. With their main competition now making a better and more powerful gun, Colt was forced to play catch up.
In 1908 Colt began making their Police Positive revolver chambered in the.38 Colt Special, which was nothing more than the.38 Smith & Wesson Special with a different head stamp. That same year Colt also introduced the New Army revolver, a bigger and heavier redesign of the New Army & Navy. Changes included a rounded checkered cylinder latch, a wider rear sight groove, a matted top strap and a checkered trigger. Barrel lengths were four, five and six-inch in either blued or a nickel finish. In 1927 Colt renamed the New Army & Navy the Official Police revolver in an attempt to boost law enforcement sales.
The Official Police revolver became a big hit with many police agencies and was adopted by the FBI. Colt also made a parkerized version during World War II known as the Commando, in either a two or a four-inch barrel. After the war ended Colt began its | [

I’m an introvert who has been known to have a strong need to be in charge of everything in my life, so when I was in search of a new home I decided to take on the task of painting my new home. I wanted it to look like it did in the photographs and I didn’t want to mess around with my existing paint color.
You’ll have to come up with some ideas for the new painting for the trailer.
Im not going to lie, I like a good paint!I know that I’ve always had the best paint, but I don’t think I have ever had the patience to make a good one, so I’m not going to lie.
The process of painting your own home is never easy. It can be a daunting experience, because you’re putting so much into the task. And that makes it all the more difficult to know what to do when it is done. In this case, I’d suggest taking a few moments to take stock of your painting choices before you begin.
The first step for any new homeowner is to take a look at what you have done so far. Take a look at what you already have and see if you can do anything better. If you have a great house, it will show up on a Google image search in a few seconds, but if you have a bad house, you won’t be able to find anyone to compare it to, so you’ll have to start from scratch.
What exactly is the purpose of your painting? If you’re going to paint a house, you need a really good look. Your painting is to show you that you want to paint a home, not just a house, but a whole piece of your home. The only way to show a house is to paint a picture with the words “I wish I had just painted the house today.
The reason you paint a house is that it’s basically a piece of your home. You can paint it yourself with a paint brush, but you don’t paint with a brush or paint with paint. It’s basically like a piece of paper, but it’s actually a piece of paper. For example, if you’re painting with the words “I want a house,” you can paint your house with the words “I want a house,” but you don’t paint with paint.
Painting a house can be a very fulfilling and rewarding experience. Just like you can say, “I paint my kitchen with my favorite color, and it looks great,” you can also say, “I paint my house with that color, and it looks awesome.” But you cant say, “I paint my kitchen with paint and it looks amazing.
What you should paint is a little bit more difficult to paint than a painting. If you want to paint a house, you can do this with a couple of things; paint everything white. If you have a lot of paint, you can paint it in the dark and it looks great. But if you have a lot of paint, you cant say, it looks bad. | [

Back in Finland
Yes, it is wonderful to meet all the great friends back in Vaasa and in Helsinki. However, California is simply the best place I have ever been. I hope to get back there - someday.
I'm missing the way people respect each other in SF, Palo Alto and at Stanford. I miss the way we were allowed to learn at Stanford. I miss the sport classes. I miss my new friends. I miss my room mates and our home. But okay, even though here ain't any palm trees, I enjoy the Finnish nature. The forests, see and lakes are just - beautiful and important.
Luckily one of my friends just moved to California and is writing about it. So I'll be following the Mr. America's story. He is studing there for a degree. How cool is that?
I wish happy autumn to you all! :)
My story will continue withing PhD studies in economics and with my happiness project that I explained (very) shortly in the last post - even if it seemed like a bit long one. | [

There’s a fine line between sampling a song and straight ripping off someone else’s artistic integrity. Imitation is recognized as the highest form of flattery – but at what point does it go too far?
Most recently, Madonna finally spoke out about her insane influence of Lady Gaga, with focus on ‘Born This Way‘ and it’s similarity with Madge’s 1989 hit ‘Express Yourself’. And in the spirit of that buzz – we’re delighted to bring you a little sampling, thirteen songs that famously ripped off others (and were pretty successful in their own right). Some of which dealt with court settlements and others were able to slip through the legal cracks. For those arguing that the likes of Hammer and Vanilla Ice had the right to sample – both were busted by the predecessors for their use. Ice even argued in an episode of VH1′s ‘Behind the Music’ that it was completely original and the sampling accusations were bogus.
Tell us what you think! Below are thirteen examples, first being the song that ripped off the following song:
Jennifer Lopez “On The Floor (Ft. Pitbull)” VS. Los Kjarkas “Lloranda se fue”
Since Janet Jackson’s infamous wardrobe malfunction of 2004, The Super Bowl’s halftime show has played it safe when choosing its featured artists. This year will be no different.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will take the stage during the halftime show in Arizona on Feb. 3, E! Online reports.
The veteran rocker and his band are set to headline the legendary event, following in the footsteps of Prince, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones.
Petty and the Heartbreakers have been around for thirty years and have sold more than 50 million records.
Musician Tom Petty isn’t planning on suing the Red Hot Chili Peppers for plagiarism, according to the rock icon himself.
Some media reports said that Petty had contacted lawyers and was mulling litigation over similarities between his song “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” and the Chili Peppers’ hit “Dani California.”
“The truth is, I seriously doubt that there is any negative intent there,” Petty told Rolling Stone magazine. “And a lot of rock & roll songs sound alike.”
“If someone took my song note for note and stole it maliciously, then maybe,” he continued. “But I don’t believe in lawsuits much. I think there are enough frivolous lawsuits in this country without people fighting over pop songs.”
Rock icon Tom Petty will soon have another accolade to add to his long list of Grammy Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Petty will receive the Century Award at this year?s Billboard Music Awards, scheduled to air live on the Fox network from Las Vegas on Dec. 6.
The Century Award is Billboard?s highest award for creative achievement. In past years, the honour has been bestowed upon the likes of George Harrison, Buddy Guy, Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, Carlos Santana, Sting, and Stevie Wonder.
“This award comes at a particularly nice time as the Heartbreakers and I go into the 30th year of our career,” Petty said in a statement Thursday. “I’m very honoured that Billboard has acknowledged me.” | [

I took this photo of the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, now called the Atomic Bomb (Genbaku) Dome, back when I visited Japan several years ago. When Little Boy – the first atomic bomb ever used in warfare; was dropped on the now infamous city of Hiroshima it detonated 240m over the city, missing the intended target, the Aioi Bridge. The Genbaku Dome was only 160m from the hypocentre of the atomic blast but was not destroyed, the vertical columns able to withstand the vertical downward force of the blast and stands now as a shadow and reminder of that day. Everyone in the building was killed instantly.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park where the Dome is found is hallowed ground and perhaps one of the most moving places I’ve visited. The Atomic Bomb Dome, the only structure that remains from the hypocentre of that fateful day, is evidence of so much that has gone, but will never be forgotten. | [
