In immuno electron microscopy an adsorption preparation is incubated with a virus specific antiserum, subsequently contrasted with an electron dense solution and subjected to electron microscopical examination. The immunological reaction given by the precipitation of the virus specific antibodies with the coat protein of the virus and visible in electron microscopy proves the identity of the virus present and provides further evidence for the composition of the viruses in the sample, e.g. indicates for undecorated virus-like particles.
A leaf dip sample is prepared according to PVC/1998/2.02 Appendix 5 and the homogenate is incubated on the grids for 5 min. After incubation with virus suspension, the grids are washed gently with approximately 40 drops of 0.1 M sodium/potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, and are subsequently incubated with virus specific antisera diluted 1:50 (v/v) in the same buffer for 15 min. After thorough washing with a gentle stream of 40 drops of deionised water, the virus grids are contrasted for EM as in PVC/1998/2.02 Appendix 5.

The holidays are upon us, and if you still haven’t managed to think of a gift idea for many of your friends, we have a quick one for you: I-cord jewelry.
I love yarn jewelry, especially in winter. While metal jewelry feels cold against my skin, yarn jewelry feels cozy and comforting. We bet some of the recipients on your gift list will feel the same!
Using a second double pointed needle or the other end of the circular needle, knit the 3 stitches. Do not turn the work.
Slide the work to the other end of the needle. Bring the working yarn across the back of the work, then knit the three stitches.
Repeat step 3 until your I-cord is the desired length.
By the way, did you know you can also crochet an I-cord?
If you’re really in a rush, use chunky yarn to speed up the process!
If you know how to knit a basic I-cord, there are plenty of different jewelry ideas you can try. Many of these are necklaces, but you could apply the same idea to a bracelet Use these for inspiration, and be sure to experiment on your own!
Create three I-cords using the instructions above, then braid the three I-cords together to create a thicker piece of jewelry.
If you have some basic crochet skills, create an I-cord that’s a few inches longer than the desired length of the necklace. Grab a large crochet hook (a size P or N is a good starting point) and crochet a small chain stitch in the center of the necklace, using the I-cord as your working yarn.
This still gives you a braided look, but it’s flanked by a single strand of I-cord on each side, unlike the braided necklace option which is just a little bit chunkier.
Create an I-cord, bind off, then slide the I-cord onto a hoop or dangle earring. If you’re worried about the I-cord sliding off, just add a little dab of craft glue on each end to secure it.
If you’d like, you can even make an I-cord that’s longer than the length of the earring, then thread the yarn tail through a tapestry needle. Run the needle through the center of the I-cord to the cast-on edge, then pull to bunch it up.
Create I-cords of different lengths and colors, then layer them. you can even tie a length of yarn around the layers several times to tie them all together.
What’s your go-to quick gift when you’re short on time?

The downfall of foundation degrees?
Ben is managing director of Chalkstream.
New qualifications are like hatchlings. To survive, they require a considerable amount of care and attention. If they grow quickly, there is a danger that they will push others out of the nest.
Thus the introduction of foundation degrees contributed to the decline of Higher National Diplomas (HND) – as, it seems, the latter were converted into the former.
But it didn’t last long. From 2009 foundation degrees began to take a tumble, alongside the continued diminution of HND and Higher National Certificate (HNC) provision.
The number of students enrolling on foundation degrees in the UK fell by over 40% between 2009 and 2013. Or, to put it another way, from 3.5% of all higher education enrolments down to 2.2%.
This is in part a tale of university decline – college foundation degree provision grew by 3000 between 2010 and 2012. From 2009, a growing number of universities delivering foundation degrees and HNDs began to shift students onto first degree courses as a ‘rational response to the existence of student number controls…employing foundation degrees of HNDs as exit routes where necessary’.
But it’s also a story about care and attention.
Foundation Degree Forward was among the organisations incinerated in the bonfire of the quangos. That move, in tandem with the 2010 freeze on Government communications spending (with notable exceptions latterly), has meant that little or nothing has been spent centrally on promoting foundation degrees nationally for over four years.
Nor have they enjoyed political favour. There have been only a handful of Ministerial speeches given during this administration – Vince Cable’s April 2014 Cambridge Public Policy Lecture on the future of higher and further education being a notable exception – in which foundation degrees have enjoyed more than a passing mention.
One government press release has been issued on the topic in this parliament, according to the archives. There have been 13 times more references to apprenticeships in the House of Commons through written or oral answers, than there have been to foundation degrees since 2003.
Beyond Parliament, it is difficult to assess their reputation. One consequence of the lack of government interest and investment is a paucity of contemporary research. There do not appear to be any (published) recent national studies of student or employer awareness of foundation degrees.
If you are one of the further education colleges successfully teaching many hundreds of foundation degree students each year and growing your numbers, any talk of the demise of foundation degrees probably seems alarmist and ridiculous. Foundation degrees enjoy particularly rude health in areas which would otherwise be higher education (extremely) cold spots.
But the ‘market’ is working against provision in terms of product recognition nationally, as the three year residential model continues to dominate.
Firstly, beyond the four colleges currently exercising foundation degree awarding powers, the national enrolment trends are likely to make others wary of undertaking the costly and laborious FDAP process.
Secondly, the foundation degree story is as much about an unexpectedly limited aversion to debt among the student population and the cultural history of the UK, as it is about national marketing and promotion. Some of the ‘reasons’ for foundation degrees haven’t materialised – some, like employer engagement at the centre of a qualification, seem as important as ever.
Nevertheless, you can’t raise a qualification in absentia. New qualifications of whatever type need national support, probably for longer than a decade. But even with political backing this might not be enough to keep them healthy; in fact, it can be a disadvantage if the succour of politicians, as was arguably the case with the Diploma, draws the bile of the fourth estate.
Thirdly, will a similar fate befall the next big thing? Would ‘technical degrees’ or whatever neophilism takes political flight of fancy have the wings to survive a change of administration or the demise of its parent agency? Would its creators understand that reputation is about sustained, long-term advocacy and endorsement?
News of foundation degrees’ demise would be very much exaggerated. Not least because some of their decline may be attributed to universities and colleges not recording the foundation degree achievements of students who go on to study first degrees. I think they still seem a very good idea, but even good ideas need communicating.
Basically FDs were poorly implemented. The author needs to remember that FDs were exclusively an English qualification rather than quoting a “UK” figure. HNs are still flourishing in Scotland. The failure to set up a ‘national’/English independent validating mechanism meant that in most areas colleges had to find a partner university to work with on design and approval, unlike HNs where colleges could either take the curriculum ‘off the shelf’ from BTEC (EdExcel) or develop a mix with some centre-devised units. There was a requirement to specify a specific route to get to Bachelor’s level – with all the inevitable problems. Most universities that were involved saw the FD development as a route to progression transfers and ‘easy recruitment’ for degrees run on the university’s main campus. But in order to infill with existing students, this was mainly full time and did not sit well with the work-based ethos of FDs or the concept of ‘earn while you learn’.
This all fell apart with the introduction of the Student Number Control in England. Although there were exemptions for those transferring, Universities figured that in a time of constraint they were better off financially to concentrate on the market for 3 year full time degrees, as that produced the maximum funding across the period for the least cost/effort. Hence the range of ‘top-up’ degrees was never fit-for-purpose in taking FD graduates (though of course there were many good individual ones).
However there are also fundamental systemic problems.
Firstly there is the failure of employers (in England) to engage in course design (with notable exceptions such as the NHS). Private sector employers do a lot of talking about their need for particular graduate skills but very little actual interaction with course design, still less leadership of it. Some decades ago the Association of Graduate Recruiters (the private blue-chip organisations on the traditional milk round of universities) came up with a specification of the type of graduate skills they needed – ironically their specification of team and functional skills corresponded with that produced by an HND graduate studying in an FE college and entering with one A level or a vocational qualification; the AGR continued to recruit mainly from the Oxbridge/Russell Group layer of institutions with students who had the best A level results. In some countries incentives such as state tax allowances encourage employers to engage more actively with HE and its qualifications, but left to their own devices market mechanisms cannot solve every problem and this is one example of market failure.
Secondly, the period of austerity meant that the necessary pump-priming for any substantial new qualification initiative dried up and the SNC process of counting students through the gate (rather than the aggregate system used in past periods of constraint eg MASN) forced institutions down the route of taking a student for as long as possible in the first instance and locking them in to that institution, rather than giving incentives for flexibility, progression and credit transfer (this has now become endemic).
Thirdly, in the longer term the decision of the Bologna process to define the ‘first cycle’ of HE as ending with the Bachelor’s degree means that any ‘sub-degree’ qualification will always be considered second rate unless it leads to a right to completion of the first cycle. I say ‘longer term’ because most institutions and agencies in England are inherently ‘Eurosceptic’ and pay scant attention to Bologna (refusing, for example, to transfer marks as well as credit from elsewhere). However it is a general problem for vocational qualifications such as the BTS in France.
Finally, we have a huge class divide in HE where the traditional academic route to graduation is seen as inherently superior. Oxford University was never going to validate a Foundation Degree. The ‘parity’ between vocational and academic routes that exists in some countries is shunned in Britain. (Perry Anderson once equated that philistinism as being one of the characteristics of the ‘unfinished’ nature of the English bourgeois revolution in the seventeenth century – possibly going a bit far, but we can all see what he means when you glance at the composition of our decision-makers in parliament).
Due to the independence of HE providers in making entry/transfer decisions, rather than a statutory right to a place on the programme of one’s choice and at a time of one’s choosing, institutions will always go for the bachelor’s degree when push comes to shove.
The DipTech issued in the Colleges of Advanced Technology by the National Council of Technological Awards 1957-1963, suffered a similar fate, despite the arrival of the white heat of the technological revolution in 1964.
The opportunity to introduce the ‘Associate Degree’ type of qualification on a systematic basis was presented by the Robertson report back in the early 1990s, but that fell on deaf ears, even from the former polytechnics who were too enamoured with the gaining of University title and degree awarding powers to think back to their own roots. The FDAP process was the same as that for TDAP and that killed stone dead creating a wide pool of institutions able to both design and deliver FDs on their own terms. Unless we move to a system of generalised awarding powers for colleges of higher level skills programmes, with funding incentives from an earmarked budget, we are never going to wean the system off its slavish addiction to the three year academic honours degree route.
There are many good examples of FD implementation and it is something that we can learn from. But if we are to move forward, it needs a fundamental scrutiny of the constraints that prevented the FD becoming widespread and the economic benefits that should attach to distinctively vocational routes, followed by a route-and-branch reform of the system. The day we have a cabinet minister whose son or daughter achieved graduate status by a path through the vocational route will be the day we know we’ve achieved real and meaningful change.
I began this research review with no preconceived ideas about foundation degrees. If anything, I was a hint sceptical that they could deliver their widening-participation aim. I now appreciate the excellent nature of the foundation degree both as concept and in practice. It has been a struggle to establish the new qualification and I have enormous admiration for the higher college and university staff and employers who have faith in it and have produced such excellent programmes. Most of all I have the highest regard for the students who have graduated from foundation degree courses; many of them have had to balance study with work and extensive family responsibilities.
What is better for me FSC from Pakistan Or Foundation in business from Malaysia???

What's The Crime of Monsieur Lange (1936)? The answer might not be the murder which the Renoir film, concluding its revival at Film Forum today, portrays, but art. "Art is a lie that makes us realize truth," said Picasso. Art, artifice, factitiousness are the palette in which the film operates and the whole making of the work of art which is one of the film's subjects is corrupt from beginning to end. Admittedly, within the plot is a populist uprising, but it does little to take away from the commodification of the creative impulse which the film describes. At one point Lange (Rene Lefevre) who produces a tale set in Arizona, where he’s never been, becomes enraged with his publisher, Batala (the swaggering Jules Berry), for some advertisements which have been interjected into his narrative. The ploy will probably receive a jaded response from most contemporary viewers, who would regard the gaffe as a textbook example of product placement. There are some witty bits like one in which Batala who's presumed dead, before he’s actually shot by Lange, is disguised as a priest and comments “Life is a question of habit. You get used to it.” Lange himself complains about the backdrops that are used to create the illusion of the West for his writing. If there is a movie made, he wants something more realistic, but you might say this early Renoir success, with its story within a story structure, is as far from so-called realism as filmmaking can get.

"Coach Clint is one of the best coaches I have ever had. Clint's passion and dedication to the sport of triathlon is inspirational. His talent lies in his ability to coach all levels of athletes from professionals to a variety of age group levels. His workouts are challenging and very hard work at times - but there is always an element of "fun" to the training sessions! Clint is incredibly supportive and understanding of the goals and unique needs of the individuals he coaches. Clint is also a great friend who I highly respect and trust. MRT is a very positive and amazing group of athletes to be a part of."
"Clint has played a pivotal role in helping me develop and mature into a professional Ironman athlete. His knowledge and mental approach to training guided me to a second place finish at Ironman Canada in 2014. He continuously challenges and pushes me to become the best athlete I can be."
"Clint has been an excellent motivator and inspiration on our Tuesday night track nights. Rain, shine, sleet, or snow, Clint is there without complaint. It has been nice to have a coach who, himself, has the same amount of dedication and commitment which he demands from his athletes."
"In just two years, Clint's knowledge, dedication, and patience has taken me from an age-group athlete to representing Canada at elite International competitions."
"Coaching professionalism breeds athlete excellence. At any race, look around you; chances are high you'll find an MRT athlete on the podium."
"The structure, motivation, and monitoring provided by MRT is truly priceless!"
"The coaching I have received from Clint has supported my growth physically and mentally, providing me with limitless tools to be the most successful athlete I can be."
"Very early on, when I joined MRT and wasn't very confident, Clint spent time riding with me, actively coaching me, and making me feel welcome. It was really, really, appreciated."
"Clint's ability to recognize what type of program and sessions would work best for me in my busy life has not only allowed me to enjoy the sport of triathlon, but achieve more than I could have ever imagined."
"I have improved more in the first 4 months with MRT than I did in the previous 4 years with another group, and I am really enjoying it. The availability of workout times and the variability within the workouts allow me to adapt the program as required."
"I joined what I thought was a swim club, but turned out to be a triathlon club, after I lost a bet with Clint. I said I culd not run and was too old to start but he proved me wrong. Clint gave me positive encouragement; the training sessions are well-organized and hard, but fun with the teammates. Great club."
"MRT can satisfy the needs of beginners, good age group athletes and also elites. The cost is very reasonable and the coaching is personal. This not the usual online one size fits all or be charged $1000 a month coaching. MRT club and coaching provides excellent camaraderie and support at a very reasonable cost. I could not be more satisfied."
"Each Saturday begins with 2-3 hour spin sessions that are not only challenging, but definitely prepare me for some very strong cycling once I move to road riding. I know I can always count on the sessions progressing from week to week with purpose and intent. They have definitely made me a stronger rider. Thanks Clint and Team!"

Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo has been helping the nuns in Laphag Nunnery since 2006 by building simple dwellings on land provided near Khampagar Monastery in Tibet. The nuns spent several months a year at these dwellings to receive teachings, then return to their nunnery site for practice and retreat.
Lhapag Nunnery is the sister Nunnery to Khampagar Monastery – the seat of Khamtrul Rinpoche. The nuns here are all serious practitioners of many years. Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo’s main teacher, the previous Khamtrul Rinpoche, requested Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo to create Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery. The current 9th Khamtrul Rinpoche asked her to support Laphag Nunnery and so it has a special connection to Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery.
Since 2006 Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo has been helping the nuns at Laphag Nunnery by raising funds to build simple dwellings on land provided near Khampagar Monastery in Tibet. Initially, the nuns lived in cotton tents, continuing to practice through the harsh Tibetan winters at high altitude and below-freezing temperatures. Given this, attention to helping the nuns’ living situation was critically urgent.
Due to the generosity of donors across the globe over the years, now 108 small flat-roofed houses and a central kitchen are built on the mountainside. However, donations are still needed for further housing and eventually to enlarge and renovate their present very basic Temple. Drubga Rinpoche who is the abbot of Khampagar Monastery in Tibet (and a nephew of the 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche) is overseeing the needs of the Nunnery which now has 130 nuns spending the winter in the new huts. More nuns are spending summer at Laphag but then forced to return to their family home during winter. The intention for 2017 is to raise sufficient funds to build another 100 houses (retreat huts) for many new applicants waiting to join the community as well as provision to cover their basic needs.
Currently, the estimated cost for each retreat hut dwelling is $2,500. Inflation has increased costs but any amount would be gratefully accepted for the nuns’ basic needs as well as ongoing and future construction. Dongyu Gatsal Ling Initiativeswishes to help these Tibetan nuns and invites you to be part of the merit of building Laphag Nunnery and providing a safe environment for these devoted women practitioners in Tibet.

Niche marketing online is a distinct segment of Internet marketing and is the quickest way to get maximum exposure if you know how to leverage the search engines to draw attention to your niche web site.
Niche marketing has always been a key to any success in marketing but lately it has become quite a prominent force in the online marketing world. Many books, manuals, courses, and web sites have been developed that focus on niche marketing. It is easy to find solid resources on the Internet that can teach you how to make money with niche marketing.
There's many things to learn to be successful and profit from niche marketing and your USP (Unique Selling Proposition) will dictate exactly how to plan your attack to successfully market to customers in your niche.
Niche Marketing Tactic Number 1, "Research"
Fully utilize all of the research mechanisms that you can find in order to make sure that you truly understand your niche and all of its nuances. This requires understanding what tools are best to use so you can understand what your target niche market does day to day, where they spend their time online, and what makes them tick from a personal and business perspective.
Niche Market Research offers free reports and articles to help you make the most of your research time.
Niche Marketing Tactic Number 2, "Define your paying niche"
Clearly define who will make up your niche market and make sure that the people in that niche market are willing to pay for the solution that you provide to their problems.
A niche is a clear subset of a larger category. An example of what a niche market is not: "People who want to learn how to shoot better scores in golf." In this example, there are far too many people within the main category (golf) to make this a true niche. Virtually everyone who plays golf will want to play better and shoot better scores so this wouldn't qualify as a niche, much less a category worth pursuing.
An example of a niche market: "Women who play golf who want to learn how to drive the ball longer and straighter." This would be a niche because it clearly defines and segments who you'll cater to and why they would need your service.
After clearly defining your niche market, you should make sure that they are willing to pay for your services. The easiest way to determine this in the online world (other than using common sense) is to find web sites that may be close to, or even in your niche, and see if those web sites charge a fee for their services.
In addition, you should look to see if there is a reasonable level of competition between those web sites.
If you see more than a few sites listed on a SERP (Search Engine Result Page) that cater to female golfers for a fee, chances are the people who are your target customer will pay for your services for solving their problem - women who can't consistently hit long straight drives in golf.

Do you get true fulfillment from your career? Don’t worry most people don’t but there are a few things you can do about it.
Firstly, it’s a really good idea to have a global vision and mission statement. Something that gets you excited and motivated when you tell others about what you do. A statement that you can use as a litmus test if you’re unsure about taking on a new project or moving your company in a new direction.
The reason I say Global is because it should be defined in terms of an all encompassing “overall feeling” about who you are and what you do. This could be either for you as an individual or your company as group of people taking on new projects and ventures together.
I have a very close friend Jono Wilcocks who is as entrepreneurial as they come. And when he’s talking about what he does he always seems to include his overarching “why”.
His eyes light up and he speaks with passion whenever he gets the chance to talk about his company and his work.
The most important thing you can do today with your team is to define your VISION. Then put in place the steps to get you there; your MISSION.
Once you’ve defined your Raison d’être you can hold every new project, new action, old ways of doing things to task. Simply ask this question before embarking; Does this new opportunity, new project, current project or old way of doing things serve our ultimate goal and our greater vision? Will doing this thing bring us closer to where we want to go as individuals and as a company? If the answer is yes then GO! GO! GO!
If not, then well, you know what to do. And btw, there is no “Secondly” in case you haven’t noticed.
If you haven’t already, please make sure you sign up to my blog. I will send you awesome articles once a week on a Tuesday straight to your primary inbox. My articles include unique success stories, entrepreneurial advice, sales tips and business building success strategies. You can sign up HERE and you will receive a FREE Sales Training Video for immediate viewing just for joining.

This 40 plate chiller is efficient, effective and economical!
This popular addition to your home brewing system promises to cool your wort to the perfect low temperature to get the best cold break possible, and getting your wort to the ideal pitching temperature on the first pass.
Equipped with a 1/2 inch MPT wort inlet and outlet to match up to the most common size of home brewery hoses, as well as a 3/4 inch MPT water inlet and outlet for easy connection to garden hose fittings. It measures approximately 8.25 inches long, 4 inches high and 3 inches wide.
Positive reviews, recomendation from other brewers.
seems like the best bang for the buck with 40 plates. we'll find out!
Instantly cools wort down to to pitch temperature. I use a pump and control the temp by making adjustments to the kettle out valve. The more I open the valve the warmer the wort, the more I close it the cooler it gets. I clean it by creating a backwards cycle with my pump and use the kettle as the PBW reservoir (brink) .
Works like a charm. Exactly as advertised.
It just works like a plate chiller is supposed to work. Adjust the cooling water flow and the wort flow to get the wort output temperature exactly where you want it in one pass. An inline thermometer or hand-held infrared temperature gun is very helpful for measuring this. Add an FPT-to-1/2"-barb connection to the end of the cooling water output hose, and you will be able to back flush the wort chamber with water, brewer's wash & sanitizer when you are finished. This setup saves about 15 minutes per 6-gallon batch versus an immersion chiller.
I would give this five stars, but it does not come with the “female to female” hose adapter needed to connect it to the water supply via garden hose (this is fairly obvious if you look at the picture carefully). Consider buying an adapter before using this on brew day.
This unit brought down a five gallon batch from 200 deg after whirlpool to 68 in ten minutes. I could have gone lower too.
The only downside is there isn't enough time to sit back and enjoy a beer like there was with my old immersion chiller.
Cleanup is easy as the 1/2" QD I added are compatible with the 3/4' garden hose QD I use, so it's as simple as attaching my garden hose to wort out and letting it flush for a few minutes - I'll also recirculate with hot PBW rinse them put in the oven for 60 minutes to sanitize and dry. just cover the wort connections with aluminum foil and store for the next brew day.
I'm using this chiller for 18 month now. It is very easy to use (I use gravity feed), and saves time over using an immersion chiller. It does cool the wort from boiling to within a few degrees of the cooling water. It's amazing how much heat it takes away. The drawback it the cold break goes into your fermenter. However, I've not noticed any detrimental effects on my end product. Make sure to counter flush it after use to remove any trub that is in the chiller.
I'm not sure if I got a different model but the one I received has GHT not MPT on the water inlet/outlet, it not an issue for me as I already had the quick disconnects for the garden hose. I have not used this product yet so my five stars are for appearance what looks to be a quality item.
I used this chiller with a Chugger pump on an 18 gallon batch worked liked a charm, no complaints. Five Stars!!
Works great; awesome value. Only downside is that there isn't a mounting bracket like the other brand. Be sure to use a hop rocket/spider or you'll clog up!
I use this gravity and with pump depending on the height of the kettle I'm using.
I've used this wort chiller on at least 50 batches of beer and love it! Way better than immersion chillers. Easy to sterilize and cools the wort to just a couple of degrees above the cooling water temperature. Quick too! I use just gravity feed and it only takes about 10 minutes to cool 10 gallons of wort from boiling.

The J.H. Christiaanse foundation has appointed Jan Monsma as endowed professor of the chair Local Authority Taxes and as scientific director of the Erasmus Study Center for Local Authority Taxes (ESBL).
As of January 1, 2016, the JH Christiaanse foundation has appointed mr. dr. J. A. (Jan) Monsma professor of the special chair Local Authority Taxes. As of this year Mr. Monsma will also be the scientific director of the Erasmus Study Center for Local Authority Taxes (ESBL).
Jan Monsma previously held this special chair during the period 1999-2009. Besides being a professor he furthermore is chairman of the Department of Fiscal Law in the Arnhem-Leeuwarden court. Jan Monsma can boast in a long-term fiscal career holding very diverse functions. From tax inspector to advisor, from editor to annotator and from policy staff member to scientist. In 2002 he joined the judiciary magistracy as counselor.
With the appointment of Jan Monsma the ESBL is taking a deliberate step to be actively involved in the most current developments concerning the expansion of the municipal tax legislation. "We are delighted that Jan Monsma will occupy this special chair again," says Arri Hartog, chairman of the board of the foundation. "He belongs to the top authorities in the field of local taxes and property tax law. As a result of his many years of experience he is in an excellent position to link science with best practice. His experience as counselor will be of very great value as well. "
The newly appointed professor says he wants to focus on two major topics: the expansion of the municipal tax legislation with 4 billion euros as part of the Tax Plan and the upcoming changes in the Special Act for Real Estate assessment. "Multi-party litigations and the possibility of value increase in the context of procedures signify huge changes for the municipalities but also for the judiciary", explains Professor Monsma. "I am looking forward to again commit my knowledge, experience and creativity during the coming years to this discipline, the ESBL and the Erasmus School of Law, which I support wholeheartedly."
The special chair Local Authority Taxes is funded by the JH Christiaanse foundation. Traditionally this foundation has a financial and administrative relationship with the ESBL. The ESBL is a leading scientific- judicial study and knowledge center in the field of local authority taxation. The ESBL research institute is linked to the Department of Fiscal Law of the Erasmus School of Law at the Erasmus University Rotterdam.

On Sept. 8, 2009, in a valley in mountainous northeastern Afghanistan, Meyer, then a 21-year-old corporal, repeatedly charged through enemy fire to rescue other Marines and U.S. and Afghan soldiers who had been ambushed by insurgents.
Meyer, firing a heavy machine gun from the turret of a gun truck, killed at least eight insurgents, picked up wounded and dead men, and provided cover that allowed his team to fight its way out of certain death, according to the Marine Corps.
He waded into the swarm of bullets, rocket-propelled grenades and mortar fire to find four friends who were pinned down, but they were dead.
"I went in there to get those guys out alive and I failed. So I think it's more fitting to call me a failure than a hero," Meyer told the Herald-Leader in an interview published Tuesday.
"Dakota, I know you've grappled with the grief of that day, that you said your efforts were somehow a failure because your teammates didn't come home," the president said. "But as your commander in chief and on behalf of everyone here today and all Americans, I want you to know it's quite the opposite."
The Corps said Meyer's efforts in the six-hour battle saved the lives of 13 Marines and soldiers and 23 Afghan soldiers. He was later promoted to sergeant but has since left the military.
"You did your duty above and beyond, and you kept the faith with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps you love," Obama said.
At the time of the battle, Meyer was barely old enough to drink the beer he shared with Obama outside the Oval Office on Wednesday.
Thursday, he stood onstage as a symbol of what many in his generation have endured.
"He may not think himself a hero, but his country certainly does," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday on the chamber floor.
Adjusting to civilian life has been difficult, Meyer told the Herald-Leader. But he said the transition had been eased by the support of family and friends in Columbia and Greensburg, the towns where he grew up.
He spends his days working for his cousin's construction company in Louisville — a job he has poured himself into so wholeheartedly that, when the White House tried to reach Meyer in the middle of a workday to tell him his medal had been approved, he asked whether the president could call back during a lunch break.
"I do appreciate, Dakota, you taking my call," Obama said with a smile.
Meyer also is working to raise money for a scholarship program to benefit children of wounded Marines.
Others "don't ... understand the sacrifices that people are giving," Meyer said of the men and women in uniform.
But Thursday, it was Meyer's turn to receive thanks for his sacrifice.
The East Room was silent as the president fastened the medal around Meyer's neck.
Then he put a hand on the young man's shoulder.
The president shared a laugh Thursday with Jean Meyer, the grandmother of Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer, second from left, as they, other members of the Meyer family and Michelle Obama walked along the Colonnade of the White House.
Marine Cpl. Dakota Meyer, third from left, rushed into a Sept. 8, 2009, firefight in Afghanistan in an attempt to aid his buddies who were trapped, only to find they were dead. Among them were Marine 1st. Lt. Michael Johnson, left; Marine Staff Sgt. Aaron M. Kenefick, second from left; and Navy Corpsman James R. Layton, middle. Also pictured are an Afghan translator and two Afghan soldiers.

Oregon had one, so why not Washington? At that time the San Diego Junior Golf Association was going well, so we copied some of its ideas, making some changes to suit the geography of our state. The high school district boundaries were used as guidelines with the help of Jim Sulenes, the Curtis High School golf coach. Before too long, our plan began to take wings! And then there were 10!

Steve Miller Band Steve Miller has been an enlivening presence on the American music scene for more than half a century. To begin with in the late 60s he was a mainstay of the San Francisco sound, upending American culture with albums like Children of the Future, Sailor, and Brave New World. Miller perfected the psychedelic blues sound that drew upon the deepest sources of American roots music, and simultaneously articulated a compelling vision of what music— and indeed society— could be in years to come. Then in the s Miller crafted a brand of pure pop that was smart, polished, exciting and irresistible. The beauty and immediacy of his work become more palpable with each listen.

When I first saw the picture of Gase I immediately thought of Gruden. LOL. You know, we had from the end of the regular season till now to negotiate with all the DC's our there released from their perspective teams. We wait until the final hour to start looking and all the good ones are gone. Then we have an owner and a President that will not do interviews with the media. I think that says it all.
I doubt it happens but I can see Bruce bringing in a DC that no one has heard of or that isn't very good. Right now without changes to the coaching staff this team has to be the most messed up managed and operated sports team in all sports at this time.
But Smittie Smith on Twitter swears that Dan & Bruce have been seducing and serenading GGGW with FTD bouquets and "Please come back" notes attached.
And just a note there's actually 3 G's in Gregg's name, so really he's Triple G.
Put another way: let's say the Skins had fired Manusky last week. Then it's heard that they want Williams as the new DC. People here on ES get excited over possibly having Williams back as DC. We keep hearing it's between us and the Jets, and the Skins are reported as "really wanting" Gregg Williams.
Then we find out Williams agreed to a contract with the Jets. Then, we find out the Jets flew him in, had the lengthy discussion, asked about how he would change the defense, showed him around the facilities, took him out to dinner, made him a sales pitch...and that Bruce and Dan called him....and that's it.
People here would be livid, and would not say they interviewed him. Most would say it's no wonder Williams took the job seeing how the Redskins did the absolute minimum to inquire about him. it would be the equivalent of the offer they made Cousins that so many felt was an "insult" and didn't blame Kirk for not giving a counter offer.
what if they were snap-chatting and using emojis ?
is that an interview ?
Hold up...did Williams even visit the Jets? lol...Are coordinator job searches done over the phone now?
what if they were snap-chatting or face-timing ?
All I know is that the Skins met face to face with past DC candidates. Maybe since they think they know Williams it wasn't necessary--which, if so, is a severely screwed up way of approaching it in my eyes.
You know, we had from the end of the regular season till now to negotiate with all the DC's our there released from their perspective teams. We wait until the final hour to start looking and all the good ones are gone. Then we have an owner and a President that will not do interviews with the media. I think that says it all.
season ends and bruce convinces dan the low attendance, sales and general unhappiness is due to lafemina and co. so they get the axe. however, due to bruces already burgeoning unpopularity this actually causes a backlash and the #firebruceallen mantra grows instead of slowing down. desperate to do something, and manusky being already in the doghouse with fans, bruce decides to sacrifice him to take the heat off and appease the bloodlust. but....he waited too long, the best choices are gone and now he's shown his hand AND humiliated his current DC...making the situation, as per usual, the worst possible scenario and shamefully embarrassing.
And with Bowles it was the exact opposite.
He physically stopped by Redskins Park, just to say, "Yo, what's up Doug Dawg, ole buddy from our Super Bowl days"
And that was constituted as an interview.
My guess is the redskins tried to get Williams to fly to DC today for a meeting (called him up, said theydcri anything to get him here, then the jets at last minute gave him a bit more money to get the deal done).
Also, it was probably mentioned on the other page, but woods is also not an option anymore. I think there’s literally nobody left now.....it’s manusky or bust wow.
Sounds like Doug with Bowles but otherwise just phone conversations with others. Sounds like they wanted to meet with Gregg but it didn't happen but they talked.
If they weren't that serious about Gregg, others would have to be wrong too including Finlay and Adam Schefter.
But if you want a more cynical narrative, Loverro thinks it was the Redskins just feigning interest to get some buzz with fans.
We should give them some slack though they are losing out to the creme de le creme of the NFL. The Jets, 49ers, Browns, Bucs. Who can blame anyone choosing teams who are that mighty.
It’s pretty obvious that ANY coach who can land a job elsewhere is not going to want to come here. Phone call, in-person doesn’t matter, as a coach it is in your best interet to NOT come here. You are almost better off taking a year off than joining us, as your name will be dragged through the mud eventually.
Sounds like hyperbole but it is not. Not to say it can’t happen but clearly we are at a disadvantage and it falls squarely on Bruce and Snyder.
Other owners have been trolling Snyder in league meetings for a while now. He's a joke in their eyes. Little clueless Danny. He's even seen as a bigger tool/failure than Mark Davis -- the guy with a Flobee haircut and a conversion van. At least he pulled off the Raiders move to Vegas -- and got a billion dollar stadium paid for.
But now coaches seem to be trolling Danny as well.
What's next? More people at the DC XFL team game?
Is it disrespectful for Snyder and Bruce to be searching for a replacement DC while manusky is still here? Yeah. It is. But Snyder and Bruce probably realize they’ll have a tough time finding anyone. If they fired manusky AND THEN tried to find someone, and got denied by all their options? Then what? Left with nobody to take the job. The media would crapping all over them in that scenario.
I guess it depends on which Eli shows up?
The Redskins are just being cool kidz like always, they want to high five the new guys on their ways to new jobs. Redskins, real bros.
Are Marvin Lewis and Rex Ryan just about the last Former Head Coaches and former DC' that might be available for the DC position here?
Don't forget, there might something to rummage through after the 4 best teams finish playing.
I think Ryan is through with football and Marvin Lewis will wait a year or so to hopefully get another HC gig. I could be wrong. I just don't see him being DC under Gruden.
With the Redskins loving the Crimson Tide players and having both Allen and Payne on their roster wonder if there would be interest in Karl Dunbar (Pittsburgh Steelers DL coach) and former DL coach at Alabama. With all the talk of Manusky being replace I have to think it's done at some point in time whoever the new DC will be.

School reform has become a major industry since the Reagan era, when the 1983 report A Nation at Risk judged U.S. schools to be so mediocre as to endanger the economic future of the country. Mayors and presidents, corporate leaders and small-business owners, parents and taxpayers have said again (and again and again): The primary purpose of public schools is to prepare students academically for a workplace that keeps our economy productive and competitive throughout the world.
Responding to scorching and unrelenting criticism, educators established standards-based curricula, monitored test scores, required students to repeat a grade or a subject, and rewarded (or punished) teachers and principals when test scores rose (or fell). These reforms have been compressed into a formula to ensure that urban, suburban, and rural schools produce graduates who are equipped with the knowledge and skills to secure high-paying jobs and help their employers compete in the global economy. Opinion polls find that parents and taxpayers are satisfied with this direction.
In search of the "one best system," corporate leaders, public officials, and parents of students have narrowed Americans' general view of what a "good school" is to a one-size-fits-all version. And that is bad for public education. Why?
The standardized tests that elementary and secondary students take bear little or no relationship to future job performance.
The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and similar instruments predict only how well high school students will do academically in their first year of college. They are useless in predicting whether students will finish college or how well they will do in future jobs.
From the standpoint of the student's economic future, what really matters about schooling is the diploma: Employers use these credentials as a signal that an employee will be punctual, persistent, flexible, and well prepared for working in groups.
Curriculum will narrow to match whatever content and skills are tested.
Instructional time will be increasingly allocated to test preparation.
Political pressure on policy makers will lead them to lower cutoff scores in order to reduce the mounting numbers of students who will fail tests and have to repeat grades.
As test scores rise over time (while teachers get better at aligning instruction with what is on tests), policy makers will change the tests and scores will decline.
Ethnic and racial gaps in academic achievement will persist.
All of these facts are well known within the educational research and policy making communities. Yet they are treated as secrets by academics and educational officials or as unnewsworthy by journalists. As a result, only one kind of good school has emerged in the public's mind and among many educators--even though the one-size-fits-all version is just one of many kinds.
Consider two elementary schools that I know well. School A is a quiet, orderly institution where both students and parents openly honor the teachers' authority. The principal and faculty seek out student and parental advice when making schoolwide decisions. The professional staff set high academic standards, establish school rules that respect differences among students, and demand proper study habits from the culturally diverse population. Drills and practice are parts of each teacher's daily lessons. Report cards with letter grades are sent home every nine weeks. A banner in the school says: "Free Monday through Friday: Knowledge--Bring Your Own Container." Many would call School A a "traditional" school, one that fits tidily the current model of a good school.
School B prizes freedom for students and teachers to pursue their individual interests. Most classrooms are multi-age (6- to 9-year-olds and 7- to 11-year-olds). Every teacher encourages student-initiated projects and trusts children to make the right choices. In this school, there are no spelling bees, no accelerated reading program, no letter or numerical grades. Instead, there is a year-end narrative in which a teacher describes the personal growth of each student. Students in school take only those standardized tests required by the state. A banner in the classroom reads: "Children need a place to run! Explore! A world to discover." Many would call School B a "progressive" school.
Both public schools are in the same state and both have been in existence for 25 years. In each case, parents have chosen to send their children to the school. Both schools have staffs of volunteers who assist the professionals. Teachers endorse their respective schools by staying; turnover has been virtually nil. Finally, both schools enjoy unalloyed support from parents, who offer praise in annual surveys and eagerly add their names to the enrollment waiting lists.
Moreover, by most student outcome measures, both schools have compiled enviable records. In academic achievement, measured by standardized tests, School A was in the top 10 schools in the entire state. School B was in the upper quartile of the state's schools.
Despite their similarities, however, these two schools differ dramatically from each other in how teachers organize their classrooms, view learning, and teach the curriculum. Can both of them be good? The answer is yes.
What makes these schools good? They have stable staffs committed to core beliefs about what is best for students and the community, dedicated parents whose beliefs mirror those of the staffs, competent people who work well together, and time to make it all happen. Whether they are labeled traditional or progressive is irrelevant.
My descriptions of these two good schools supported by parents, teachers, and students underscore that there is no single best school for all children. One is clearly traditional in its concentration on preparing students for jobs and higher education by passing on to them the best knowledge, skills, and values in society. The other is progressive in its focus on students' individual and social development. Each serves different goals; each honors different values. Yet--and this is the important point--these seemingly different goals are not inconsistent. They derive from deeply embedded but seldom noticed common aspirations and expectations that parents and taxpayers have for public schools.
Open-mindedness to different opinions and a willingness to consider various points of view.
Respect for values that differ from one's own.
Treating individuals decently and fairly, regardless of background.
A commitment to "talk through" problems and openly discuss, reason, deliberate, and struggle toward compromise when disputes arise.
Tax-supported public schools in the United States were not established 150 years ago to ensure jobs for graduates or to replace the family or church. They were established to make sure that children would grow into literate adults who respected authority and could make reasoned judgments, accept differences of opinions, and fulfill their civic duty to participate in the political and social life of their communities. As one Milwaukee school board member put it in 1890: "The schools are not established for the purpose of teaching scholars how to make a living but to teach them how to live." The core duty of schools, teachers, and administrators--past and present--has been to turn students into citizens who can independently reason through difficult decisions, defend what they have decided, and honor the rule of law. Traditional and progressive schools each work effectively toward this paramount goal.
Both schools prize individual freedom and respect for authority, though they define each value differently and reflect their respective interpretation in the way they organize the school, view the curriculum, and engage in teaching. Neither value is ignored. Moreover, each school, in its own way, cultivates the deeper democratic attitudes of open-mindedness, respect for others' values, treating others decently, and making deliberate decisions.
Are parents, staff, and students satisfied with what occurs in the school?
Is the school achieving the explicit goals that it has set for itself?
Finally, is the school turning out graduates who will become good citizens?

By now it must be obvious that I love murukkus. This is going to be the third recipe that I am sharing. I got this recipe from my neighbor, Konda’s friend K’s Mom. She makes this for Diwali every year and every year I ask her for the recipe and never get around to make it.
This year I made up my mind that I was going to make it and wrote down the recipe. Just the day before Deepavali, I told Amma that I wanted to make this version. As it happened I had noted down the recipe in my phone and looks like I missed out few things. So I had Amma talk to K’s Mom and noted down the recipe.
One main thing I didn’t tell Amma was that this recipe measures the whole rice, which then is powdered. Since we had rice flour on hand, we had to modify according to the recipe. After finally getting to the dough I realized how easy this muruku is to make.
Another factor that Amma told me was the fact that all Thenkuzhal murukus call for the rice flour to be roasted. We did that and the Murukkus came out awesome.
Best part about this recipe is that, there is no butter or ghee added.
Wash and pressure cook the Urad dal with 3 cups of water for 3 whistles. Once the pressure falls, check if the urad dal is cooked to mushy. If not, add one more cup of water and cook again.
Heat a kadai, dry roast the rice flour till it’s done. This can be checked by taking a pinch of roasted flour and doing a kolam or drawing a line on the flour. If it forms a uniform line, it means the the flour is roasted well.
Once the flour is roasted, remove and allow to cool. Sieve to remove lumps.
To the Urad dal, add the asafoetida, cumin seeds, sesame seeds. Dissolve salt in about 2 tsp of water and sprinkle over the Urad dal. Mix everything well.
Then slowly add the rice flour, and mix into a dough. It took about 5 cups of rice flour for us to get a smooth batter.
Heat a kadai with oil. When the oil is hot, check with a small bit, when it comes out, it means the oil is hot.
Pinch out a ball enough to fill the muruku achu. We used 3 holes achu.
Since the dough is very soft to use, you can directly press the muruku over the hot oil. Else press you can press over the back side of a ladle and gently slide into the oil.
Cook over medium flame on both sides. Drain to a kitchen towel.
The original recipe calls for 4 cups of rice. Since we had rice flour, we knew 4 cups of rice would yeiled about 5 -6cups. 5 cups of flour was almost enough.
There is no need to add butter or ghee, the murukkus come out very soft and tasty.
Make sure you cook till it browns slightly. else it might not harden once it cools down.
The murukus from pan will be soft initially. After it cools down, it will turn crunchy.
Mouthwatering and crunchy Thenkuzhal Murukku – my all time fav Snack.Luv the yumm clicks too.Luv it.
wow..delicious muruku..Amma makes this often..
love this one.Will try it out.
Lovely muruku…and this way is a little new to me..bookmarked will do it soon..
Crispy murukkusa looks fabulous and beautiful.
Nice recipe,must try this one out. Never come across this cooked urad dhal in thenkuzhal before.Quite interesting.
Thenkuzhal looks lovely Valli. Hope you had a great Diwali!
Wow..Never tried this way of making thenkuzhal..Luks so good,srivalli…sent u a msg in Fb,hope u saw it..
My avva used to make this type of thenkuzhal. It used to be very crisp. I think in the introduction part of this post you missed "no" butter or ghee added.

Yeah, a lot of ink and pixels have been spilled yammering on about the “return of vinyl” as if the beloved format actually went anywhere. The Reverend predicted this trend almost a decade ago with a pithy rant titled “Back To Mono,” so it’s no surprise to ‘moi’ that a new generation of music-lovin’ droogs has discovered the sound and tactile enjoyment of a vinyl record album and accompanying (large) color artwork.
As somebody who’s been buying vinyl for nearly a half-century now, I can attest to the need for a quality turntable to play one’s precious records on. I’ve owned several ‘tables through the years, with plans to add a Pro-Ject spinner from my buddy Mark at the Hi-Fi Lounge (gratuitous commercial plug!) when finances allow. I gotta admit, though, that these Rock ‘N’ Rolla™ Portable Briefcase Turntables seem like they’d be a heck of a lot of fun!
The turntables will be available in October, and include the Rock ‘N’ Rolla™ Jr, the Rock ‘N’ Rolla™ Premium, and the Rock ‘N’ Rolla™ XL models. The Jr. is the starter kit with two full-range dynamic speakers built into the unit; headphone and external speaker outputs; three-speed playback (33/45/78); three digital inputs including USB; and you can back up vinyl directly from the turntable to an SD memory card. The Jr. includes an AC power cord, is iOS and Android compatible, and comes in four colors – red, black, white, and teal blue – and sells for a staggeringly cheap-o $69.99 MSRP.
The Rock ‘N’ Rolla™ Premium includes all the aforementioned features of the Jr. as well as a rechargeable lithium battery pack, four digital inputs instead of three, Bluetooth, and will be available in several fashionable hues, including white with red straps and handle or with white straps and handle in hot pink, teal, or black with a suggested price of $99.99. The King Kong(™) of the Rock ‘N’ Rolla™ line is the XL model, which includes all of the above features plus a CD player tucked away in some hidey place. It includes an LCD display, and comes in basic black, white, cream, or red and can be yours for the low, LOW price of $149.99.
Retail being what it is, you can probably find one of these wax spinners for a good $10 - $15 below MSRP, and all models come with a twelve-month warranty. The Rock ‘N’ Rolla website isn’t up and running as of this writing, but you’ll eventually be able to grab one of these portable beauties from them, and probably a few other online retailers. The Rock ‘N’ Rolla™ isn’t meant to replace whatever medium-to-high end shaker box you have hooked up to your stereo, but as a portable option for spinning your 45s and a cool gadget to boot, it could be cool to add one to your musical arsenal.

Came for a drink.. great service at the bar.. the venue was quite busy for Tuesday night.. downstairs live music with great artists..
After the history lesson of its cinema, music and seedy past, one will find a variety of restaurants; although it has not fully lost its sleazy element.
We love mr Neel at the upstairs bar, he made us the most comfortable and happy! Nicest bar man I’ve ever met in my life, he deserves a promotion!
Get quick answers from Wardour Street staff and past visitors.

Don’t know about where to source one, but anything in particular you want to know?
Was thinking of heading over to Nesscliffe/Grinshill for a bit of easy bouldering- haven't been before so was after a guidebook so I'm not completely lost!
Have you tried any of the climbing apps? Possibly not as good as a guide but you might be able to get some information?
Boulder Britain (https://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/publications/guidebooks/boulder_britain_by_niall_grimes-4426) contains details of both Nesscliffe and Grinshill bouldering. It is not a definitive guide to all the bouldering however it contains most of the best problems and will guide you to the rock at each venue.
I'd recommend Grinshill for easy bouldering, Nesscliffe is generally harder stuff.

Until now, with some notable exceptions, most large institutions of higher learning with strong online offerings have been for-profit entities like the University of Phoenix. Most nonprofit public and private colleges and universities have continued to focus on their campus programs with little enthusiasm for the idea of launching online counterparts.
Change comes hard to some entities, but the pressure applied by falling enrollments is likely to cause these institutions to take another look at what online learning can do for them. As they do, they will be faced with a major decision: How do they enter into the unknown? Do they brave it alone, learning as they go? Do they look for someone who can do it for them? Or something in between?
For such institutions, the temptation to sign with an online program manager (OPM) must be almost irresistible. OPMs are organizations that provide everything needed to launch and manage a successful online program, including the up-front funding. In return, they receive a substantial share of the revenues for a stated period of time. Perfect, right?
Not exactly. Over the past few years I have spoken with many institutions who opted to sign an OPM contract — and have since come to rue that decision.
Most revenue-sharing contracts specify that the OPM will receive 50%–70% of the revenues. The organizations I’ve spoken to feel, in retrospect, that this percentage is simply too large.
This kind of split may have made sense back in the dark ages of early online learning, but it is our belief at ExtensionEngine that it’s no longer appropriate for most schools. Schools work hard to build their reputation, their brand, and their intellectual capital. Handing over most of the fruits of their long-term work to a vendor whose role is to “merely” move it to an online environment seems excessive.
Plus, there’s the irony — and frustration — of having the revenues they expected to generate by going online end up in someone else’s bank account.
At ExtensionEngine, our contracting and relationship model is quite simple in concept: You pay us, and we work; you stop paying us, and we stop working.
Many schools could live with high revenue-sharing terms for a short time; after all, the arrangement facilitates the launch of their programs. But most commitments are longer-term: five to ten years. This, according to the schools I’ve talked to, is far too long.
There are a couple of problems with these contracts. The first is how long it takes for the institution to realize the full promise of online learning as a source of new revenues. The second is that no one can really predict what the online learning world will be like in five years, let alone ten. Making a commitment for that length of time seems unacceptably risky in a world that is changing so fast.
At ExtensionEngine, we have monthly contracts. If both parties are happy, we keep working together; if not, or if we’ve achieved the institution’s goals, we can go our separate ways.
Faculty want to teach in programs that they can be proud of, that they can get satisfaction from, and that they know to be effective. At the institutions I’ve spoken with, the faculty experience with the typical OPM engagement is just the opposite. Faculty feel like they don’t own the program and that they, as teachers, are being forced into preexisting boxes built by someone else. Not only is this unacceptable to most faculty, they will actively fight it.
The key to gaining faculty support is to work with them to ensure their concerns are addressed and their goals as teachers and mentors are met. It’s helpful to find a partner who can help generate the necessary momentum, buy-in, and strategy — and to educate the faculty on what is currently possible in online learning. Advances in pedagogy (and the underlying technology that supports it) enable effective learning experiences that could only be imagined a few years ago. Creating these learning experiences can be highly satisfying to faculty, as can the results they see from students who engage with them.
We know such faculty enthusiasm for online learning is possible because we’ve seen it. Every school, every program, and every faculty is different, but if everyone keeps an open mind and is willing to experiment, then success is achievable.

Easter Layout - Pebbles, Inc.
Hey there Pebbles friends, Becki here. I’m excited to share with you a layout I created using the new Everyday collection. I’ve also got a special treat for you today. I created a process video to show you how this layout came together.
Oh my, I LOVE this collection! I’ve already used it for SO many projects. I reach for it all the time. I love the bright, bold, classic colors. The first things I wanted to create with in this collection were the florals and stripes. I combined both of these on this layout. I grabbed my scissors and started fussy cutting flowers before I even chose the title or background paper for my layout .
The details are what really make this layout shine.
Thanks for stopping by the Pebbles blog. If you like this layout with stripes and florals, I’m sure you’d like THIS one too (it’s one of my personal favorites). Have a happy Wednesday.

In Greek mythology, Charon was the ferryman of Hades. Charon took the newly dead souls from one side of the river Acheron to another one on his boat. The Acheron is a river located in the northwest Greece. It was believed that Archeron is a branch of the underworld river Styx. The river Styx separates the world of the living from the world of the dead. In various myths, the heroes Heracles, Orpheus, and Dionysus all journeyed to and from on the boat of Charon. Orpheus also made the trip to the underworld and returned alive (the image 4).

The costal town of Lucea is the capital of Hanover Parish. Lucea has a rich cultural history which is evidenced by the well preserved historic buildings. The Hanover Historical Society is actively involved in preserving and presenting the history of Lucea. The town is built around a natural harbour surrounded by hills on its three other sides. Nowadays Lucea is known for the bustling market and the cultivation of a local species of yam - the "Lucea Yam" which is favoured all over Jamaica. Visitors to Lucea can also check out historic buildings such as the Town Hall, Fort Charlotte and the Hanover Parish Church and learn more about the history of the area at the Hanover Museum.
The town of Lucea is believed to be named after Christopher Columbus's son Luis The town became very busy with a thriving sugar trade; the town was even busier than nearby Montego Bay. Lucea soon attracted settlers from overseas with many Jewish people arriving from Europe and establishing a comprehensive services sector. Scottish Presbyterian missionaries also arrived in Lucea, establishing a strong Presbyterian presence in the area. Lucea became a free port and, after emancipation in 1834, became a large exporter of produce. The export of Bananas continued well in to the 20th Century but, in 1983, the port was finally closed.

Background: Increased BMI and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) are associated with elevated risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. While several exercise and pharmacological interventions have been shown to reduce BMI, their impact on VAT is not well established.
Methods: We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the efficacy of exercise or pharmacological interventions in VAT reduction. Outcome assessed was change in visceral fat area (cm2) using CT or MRI imaging. Separate pooled analysis was using random-effect models with pooled estimates of change in VAT from baseline to following reported as standardized mean difference (SMD). Magnitude of effect was compared based on SMD estimates.
Results: The primary analysis included 4,380 participants from 25 RCTs. In pooled analysis, both exercise training and pharmacological interventions were associated with significant reductions in visceral adiposity (see figure). Exercise training was associated with a moderate reduction in VAT measures [SMD (95% CI): -0.71 (-0.93 to -0.49)]. In contrast, more substantial decrease in VAT was observed with pharmacological therapies [SMD (95% CI): -0.91 (-1.42 to -0.40)].
Conclusions: Exercise and pharmacologic interventions are associated with significant reduction in VAT, with more substantial benefits from pharmacological therapies. Future studies are needed to determine if the favorable effects of these interventions may also lower the risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

How can we know if DC is building enough housing?
DC could reach almost a million people in 30 years. What does that mean for the amount of housing DC needs? Or the amount you might pay to rent or buy a place to live? Current population forecasts still don’t answer a few key questions that have to be answered to plan for the future.
Photo by E. Krall on Flickr.
DC planners are starting work to amend the city’s Comprehensive Plan. Among other things, the Comp Plan sets basic policies for how much new housing can be built. And a recent court case blocked new housing because a map in the Comp Plan didn’t show it. That means it’s very important to get the plan right.
Everyone needs to live somewhere, so a very logical first step to understanding the city’s needs is forecasting how many people want to live there. That’s not quite so simple, however.
Many variables go into population forecasts. Regional data analysts disagree about many of them. Still, they’ve had some success. When the current Comp Plan was first written, a decade ago, it estimated the city’s population in 2010 and 2015. It got the 2010 population bang on the nose — almost exactly 600,000. But for 2015, it’s wasn’t so accurate; the Comp Plan guessed growth would continue to 630,000, but DC actually grew much more, to about 672,000.
The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) puts out annual growth estimates for all of the jurisdictions in the Washington region. Here’s how the Comp Plan’s growth estimates track with COG’s past and most recent estimates and with reality.
Actual population data from US Census and American Community Survey estimates. Projections from DC Office of Planning, DC CFO, and Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.
The DC Chief Financial Officer also makes some forecasts. The last one tracks closely to COG’s, but in 2013 the DC CFO thought growth was about to slow. It hasn’t, at least not yet.
How does COG come up with its forecasts? It calls them “cooperative forecasts” because the first step is for each local jurisdiction to estimate its own growth. Then, COG planners tweak the numbers so the totals better match the overall regional jobs picture, trends about how many children people are having, and so forth.
Those individual jurisdictional estimates mostly come from looking at how much development is in the pipeline and how much room there is under current zoning. It makes some sense — someone is not going to move to DC unless they have a place to live. If 1,000 new housing units will be created and 90% of them will fill up in 2 years with an average of 1.5 people per unit (for example), that means 1,350 new residents.
That’s a pretty good way to guess the population if you want to know what’s most likely to happen under current policy. It helps with budgeting for the amount of trash pickup you’ll need, say, or how many schools to build.
We think developers will build x housing units.
X housing units hold Y people.
Therefore, DC will grow by Y people.
We said DC will grow by Y people.
Y people fit in X units.
Therefore, we’re building enough units.
Photo by Tom Magliery on Flickr.
It doesn’t work that way. Let’s consider a hypothetical city that really doesn’t want to grow much but has a booming job market. Call it Atherton.
Atherton has about 7,500 people and very little opportunity to add new housing under zoning. It’s zoned for enough new development for 100 new people and that’s it. If that policy continues, the new units for those 100 people will get built in the next five years, and then perhaps nothing for many years after that.
If we don’t change current policies, will prices rise faster than people’s incomes can keep up?
If we did change policies, what would happen? Would more people move in?
What policies should we pursue if we want both new residents and longtime ones to be able to live in DC, without too-fast price rises or displacement?
These are the questions that DC must explore for the Comprehensive Plan, because the Comp Plan is the ultimate font of the policies that create the pipeline that drives the population estimates.
There aren’t official numbers on most of this yet, but I’ve talked to forecasters who are trying to figure it out. It’s not easy. If more housing was getting built, some people would move to DC who otherwise would live in another county or region entirely. Some wouldn’t be displaced who otherwise would be. On the other hand, some people might not like the changes and move out.
Will DC run out of room?
DC (and the whole Washington region) is highly desirable, and many people would like to live here but for high and rising housing prices. Others who have lived here for many years are finding themselves priced out through rising rents or taxes associated with swelling real estate appraisals.
There’s a growing body of evidence that when cities don’t build enough new housing to keep up with demand, that exacerbates the price rise. In DC, proposed new buildings constantly have floors and units slashed off or have strict limits on their size in the first place.
You don’t have to believe that removing regulations will magically make housing suddenly affordable for all—I don’t—to worry about all the people who can’t live in the units that don’t get built and the displacement it can cause elsewhere.
Beyond prices rising and displacement happening today, there’s reason to worry it will get worse. DC does have a number of large undeveloped sites now, like Walter Reed, McMillan, St. Elizabeths, and Hill East, which can and hopefully will provide a large portion of DC’s housing need for the next decade or so. But if demand to live in the city remains strong, these will fill with housing soon; what then?
An Office of Planning 2013 report warned that DC was approaching its maximum buildable limits. The city could run out of space for new housing between 2030 and 2040, the report said.
Graph from the DC Office of Planning’s Height Master Plan report, 2013.
It would be helpful for OP to update this graph based on changes since then. The zoning update allowed people to rent out basements and garages (“accessory apartments”) in some zones, which added some potential housing; at the same time, DC made zoning more restrictive in many row house areas and downzoned the Lanier Heights neighborhood, which might have moved the red dotted line down somewhat.
Where are the lines now? How has the city’s growth tracked against the three scenarios in the above graph? Under various assumptions, how much time is left until the problem gets even worse than it is today?
DC needs a Comprehensive Plan that ensures enough housing so that prices don’t rise faster than they need to. Public policies must also ensure that new housing benefits a cross-section of income levels, from the very poor to the middle class and beyond, to prevent displacement and built a city welcoming to all — as Mayor Bowser likes to say, for those who have been here for five generations or five minutes.
To get the policies right requires good data. What do you see in the above analysis? Are there other data sets you think would be helpful? Are there other questions that an updated Comprehensive Plan should address?

Tumi Morake modelled her public persona on her late mother, a charming and contentious woman who used her big, bold voice to say what others were afraid to utter. It’s the personality that Tumi took on stage and the one that gave her the courage to join a white, Afrikaans radio station and comment about apartheid on air. In And Then Mama Said Tumi gets frank about the race row at Jacaranda FM; the body shaming she endured on the set of Our Perfect Wedding; and her relationship with her husband.
found many lessons to be learnt from the woman who shaped Tumi.

She just turned seven months when she boarded the plane that brought her to Dubai, and then to Manchester. It was the beginning of many happy travels.
I set foot in this city in the autumn of 2010. That Britannic bohemian mood was palpable in the air and I can almost feel the metallic vibe of its industrial revolution. And yet, the urban blight and pollution that characterized that era is no longer visible. What I saw is a city moving forward in a sustainable manner.

Reconfiguration of ground floor layout to family home, creating a new entrance area and open plan kitchen, living and dining area. The original dwelling had an awkward layout at ground floor with disjointed circulation spaces and stairs to the first floor only accessible through the kitchen. We were approached to rationalise the layout and modernise the overall feel of the dwelling.
The previous living room and garden room were opened up to form a new large open plan kitchen, living and dining area. As the property sits on a corner plot, the decision was made to relocate the main entrance from the east elevation to the north elevation. A small extension and internal reconfiguration created a large welcoming entrance area with direct access to the open plan kitchen, living and dining area, the study, a separate living area and the stairs to the first floor. The old entrance has become the rear access with utility, boot room and shower room. By moving the entrance, together with replacing the windows, incorporating elements of cladding, re rendering and extending brick detailing the exterior of the property has been transformed.
We prepared initial sketches, developed the design and submitted a planning application. Following planning approval, we prepared technical drawings and specification, obtaining building regulations approval. The client employed Bespoke Norfolk Ltd to turn the drawings into reality, with great results.

India-focussed, AIM-listed private equity fund Elephant Capital (formerly Promethean India Plc) is taking full control of a Mauritius joint venture investment entity that, in turn, owns 3.29% in Mahindra Forgings, the auto component firm of the Mahindra group.
The AIM-listed fund owns 40% in Elephant Capital 1 with the remaining 60% held by Puneet Makkar (the promoter of Amforge Industries that sold one of its units to Mahindra Forgings a few years ago).
Makkar, who separately owns 2.67% in Mahindra Forgings, had taken a loan of £3.7 million (in June 2007) from Elephant Capital for picking the 60% stake in the Mauritius JV. The loan was to be repaid with annual interest of 9% in two years.
Although Krammer, the Singapore entity through which Makkar owns the 60% in Elephant Capital 1, paid the interest last year in June, it failed to pay either the interest or the principal sum due on June 28, 2009.
Elephant Capital, which is led by Dabur group’s Gaurav Burman, had been negotiating with Krammer for restructuring the loan but it has failed to move forward.
As a result, Elephant Capital is now taking full ownership of the shareholding of the Mauritius JV. Elephant Capital’s loan to Krammer was secured through the shares in the JV. The current worth of these shares through its indirect holding in Mahindra Forgings is around Rs 13 crore. The outstanding amount on the loan advanced to Krammer is over £4 million (Rs 31 crore including unpaid interest).

The Artes Mundi exhibition is one of the highlights of the UK’s visual arts calendar. At the first exhibition in 2004, work by ten shortlisted artists occupied a series of seven galleries over two floors of the National Museum, Cardiff. Each artist worked with the curator, Tessa Jackson, to show a body of work that represented their recent practice.
63,000 visitors came to the exhibition. The National Museum recorded its highest attendance during March since the building was opened in 1927.
Works were transported from as far afield as Korea, Israel, New Zealand and the USA.
The second exhibition comprises a body of work by each shortlisted artist. It includes large paintings, humorous drawings and compelling photographic images as well as fictional films of human drama or documentary discussion. Each artist comments on society in a different way, with different materials. Artes Mundi celebrates some of the world’s most significant artists working today, and their perspectives on real and imagined worlds and cultures.

Woke up this morning to typical English weather, it was bucketing down. Looks like their Indian summer is over. Never mind, we did the English thing, out in the rain to have a look around.
York Minster in the distance. Yep, but wet.
Don’t know how many times I have photographed this building, but still impressed me.
Say this with a mouth full of marbles.
In Aus, the black and white building would be condemned.
A wander through The Shambles, a medieval market street.
Diversion into a collectables shop.
Love the mouse painted on the stairs.
Now this is old, this construction would not survive in Aus.
You could pass notes across the street without leaving your house.
Lots of tourists, despite the rain.
Off to the Minster for a look through. Why Minster you ask, although it could be seen as a cathedral, it does not have a bishop’s chair, so therefore a Minster. Cathedral or not, it is an amazing building. Enjoy.
Magnificent windows, which are currently undergoing a massive restoration.
Find these in the window above.
This was used to store the ministers robes, 800 years old.
On to Nettleton, where we are off to Papa Joes, for dinner again with the Perry’s.
Then the film night at Haz and Jules.

Hmm, sushi. There is just something delicious about sushi, and I for one, love to have sashimi. Raw salmon, coupled with a dash of high quality wasabi in addition to some soy sauce, makes for one of the best and most delicious foods to eat in the world, at least in my opinion. Well, if you love to eat sushi and would like to dream about it as well, how about picking up the $15.99 Salmon Sushi Pillow Case? You will then be able to show off just how fresh your bed is with the new Salmon Pillowcase, and it looks absolutely mouthwatering! At least it does not leave any kind of lingering, fishy smell in the vicinity!

eBay have announced that they’ll be introducing new negotiated shipping discounts on their sellers.
Whilst many businesses are of a scale to access competitive shipping rates there are thousands of smaller businesses who aren’t yet scaled to the size which makes the economics worthwhile for couriers to offer significant discounts from the rack rate. eBay aim to rectify this.
Simple, easy shipping is fundamental to a successful selling experience, particularly for first-time or low-volume sellers. Drawing on best practice from across the globe, eBay UK is introducing a raft of new initiatives to accelerate improvement in the seller shipping experience.
An exciting growth opportunity for sellers is cross-border trade, opening up a market of over 100 million shoppers around the globe. eBay is negotiating to deliver group discounts and a simplified pricing structure for sellers of all sizes, with a particular focus on mid-sized businesses, accelerating their growth and creating a win-win situation: a broader selection on sale at eBay sites across the globe and more sales potential for our sellers.
Some sellers don’t have the scale to negotiate preferential shipping rates and, starting 2013, eBay will aim to provide access to a new, simple solution. eBay will be acting as an intermediary in the UK market and will seek to implement competitive fixed-rate pricing options. These will be a particular boon for smaller businesses who struggle to secure competitive rates through individual negotiation.
Dan and I have been saying for years that this is exactly the type of scheme eBay should be using their scale to put in place. Whilst courier’s arguments have always been eBay doesn’t have warehouses or central pick up locations, the sheer volume of parcels that could be sent through a courier’s network is staggering if they became a preferred shipping partner.
eBay aim to negotiate deals significantly better than the typical low volume seller with occasional parcels up to a couple a day could send. There’s already a discounted Collect Plus deal running until the end of January, but by the middle of 2013 eBay aim to have a range of offerings across the full spectrum of economy and next day services available for all sellers to access.
Quite how this will impact the third party companies providing access to discounted courier rates we don’t yet know. I guess it really depends upon how well eBay negotiate with the carriers and what type of discounts they can offer. It also have the ability to impact the couriers themselves as whoever is first to the table with an offering is likely to win the biggest share of eBay seller’s consignments.
Third party software providers will also want to keep their eye on this one, sellers using channel management software will want automatic label printing for their courier of choice through eBay’s API. This is likely to impact channel management companies who cater to lower volume sellers the most.
Bravo eBay, I don’t want to be churlish at such good news and say “about time too”, suffice to say we’re looking forward to the launch of the new services.
I have always thought this was a trick eBay were missing. The obvious questions of them creating a courier monopoly will always exist. I wonder who the lucky courier firm will be who ends up getting an extremely lucrative contract? No doubt they will be tied to extremely tight SLAs and rightly so!
& not Yodel who have been a constant failure since the DHL UK Take over.
Are ebay going to completely overhaul their feedback/dsr arrangements on the back of sellers using an ebay approved shipping agent?
Hopefully they’ll use their eBay US Policy of use their approved shipper with 1 day dispatch gets you an auto 5*, so that will only leave IAD to score.
Good news for ebay sellers lets hope this kick starts Amazon to do the same.
Wait No Longer. The National Road Speed Limit is still 70 m.p.h. A Great Western Railway “Hall” Class 4-6-0 will comfortably exceed that although it would not exceed 100 m.p.h. Please note I also am smiling. A Very Happy and Prosperous New Year to you my friend.
No-one worth their salt is going to offer ebay discounts for pick ups all over the country are they? The only clowns who’ll do that are Yodel (or MyHermes) who over-promise and never deliver.
Surely it depends where the pick-ups are from? If it was from our premises and we had only a couple of items to go I would totally agree with you. But what if the Courier had their own pick up locations such as a designated chain of shops across the country.
In that situation the shops are either already there or perhaps have been set up as an expansion scheme for the courier. The courier would require us to take the parcels/packages to the central point and book them in then when their van is calling it just adds our load to what they already expected to collect.
I have no idea how many packages are sent out daily by ebay SME traders but I would imagine that it is enormous. So would be a massive boost to any existing or developing courier business.
Obviously we would have to trust it so that would mean that the Courier had to be reliable and obviously there would need to be a cost saving but I would guess that most of us would have a good look at what was proposed. Obviously if we are happy with the final scheme many would use it including me if it offers significant advantages. So its in ebays interest to come up with a well thought out and sorted scheme.
Agree completely. If it’s worthwhile we’d look at it too. But we are not driving somewhere to drop off packages so it’s convenient for the courier unless the price is amazing when we already have a collection at around 5pm which is very competitively priced.
I think the only way this will work is if the courier can collect from a central point as you suggest. And that courier will be MyHermes surely who already operate like that? They and Yodel are far too slow for most people’s liking these days so if they buck up their ideas about 5 days delivery being ok perhaps it would work?
There is no guarantee that it will be an existing courier. All you need is for some company out there to be planning its own courier network. They hear in the wind of what ebay is talking about and model their scheme around what ebay wants.
However I agree it has to be flexible. After all if you already have a collection and of course deliveries to your location and your quantities are high, say 5000 or so a year then obviously it makes a lot of sense for the courier to collect/deliver to you.
But there are many thousands of smaller ebay sellers. Those that send out in hundreds per annum who cannot justify a daily collection. Surely a chain of central collection points makes a lot of sense.
However while this could work well in Urban areas I wonder about Rural areas. Villages are about 3 miles apart. So if there is not a collection point in your village it could be 3 miles to the next but if their central locations are in the larger towns. In my case my nearest town is about 9 miles in one direction and another in about 9 miles in another.
Sounds simple but in Cornwall through the summer months the traffic can be horrendous so I could be spending hours per day taking the parcels to the central location.
Anyway lets see what is proposed. At first glance it seems promising. But wait for the final version. Its the detail that could sink it.
It is often said ebay only do things if the bean counters are having a migraine attack.
I’m guessing the last round of Royal Mail price rises has had a devasting effect on ebay fee income for certain categories and products.
Anything that can lower shipping prices for sellers is a good thing. Let’s see what they can come up with to solve the international shipping delivery confirmation issue. Something to keep an eye on in 2013.
maximum shipping cost across all categories is next ?
Royal Mail charge £19 for a parcel without any tracking between 8-10kg.
And £8.80 between 2-4kg again without tracking.
You can probbaly add 25% for a tracked service.
And first class without tracking by Royal Mail for packages up to 2kg can cost as much as £8.30 with a minimum of £5.60 if an item is 1g over 1kg.
We don’t yet know what Royal Mail’s future plans and price rises are going to be from April onwards so at this stage it has to be extremely hard for ebay to justify any form of ebay shipping cost cap.
Not every seller is going to be able to use a courier, especially those who live in rural areas where collection coverage is limited. A lot of couriers may well tell ebay to think again especially if they are going to be scored by ebay on performance!
Can you imagine couriers accepting dsr ratings for despatch time, delivery time and condition of contents?
If you’re sending over 5K of packages a year RM Tracked starts at £4 per shipment up to 15kg. Extra 25p for signature from memory but very reasonable even if a bit more IMHO.
“Ebay to negotiate courier discounts in 2013” – in view of a politician demanding regulation of this sector highlighted in another Tamebay story and the subsequent comments it makes me wonder if ebay might be having second thoughts about getting involved with this?
After all are ebay going to be taking into account working conditions when assessing couriers?
I wonder what ebay feedback and DSR’s the politician left for their package?
What technology are you considering for 2013?

Use daily on clean skin. For a more intensive boost of hydration apply a little Rose Intensive serum underneath.
My skin is dry/dehydrated and sensitive, so it has been difficult to find the perfect moisturiser. This one comes loser than any other I have tried, and I can't do without it. I use it in top of serum, and it sinks in quite quickly leaving my skin soft and calm. I have to reapply once or twice during the day to keep up the good result.

I’ve always been fascinated by the Romanov family and their downfall from power. Perhaps that’s why Jessica Khoury’s Last of Her Name appealed to me. It gives subtle nods to the Romanov family and Anastasia, who was rumored to have survived execution.
The Last of Her Name takes place in the galaxy known as the Belt of Jewels. Sixteen years ago, a rebellion removed the Leonov royal family from power. All were murdered, including the youngest child, Princess Anya. With the Leonov’s gone, the Union government came to power.
Stacia spends her days rambling her father’s vineyard with her friends, Clio and Pol. She doesn’t think much about politics until a Union ship appears in the sky. That alone is strange, but when the leader of the Union, the Direktor Eminent himself, arrives and declares there are empire loyalists living in Stacia’s village, things get dangerous. The Direktor claims that Princess Anya Leonova is alive — and Stacia is the lost princess.
Before Stacia knows what hits her, Pol smuggles Stacia to a hidden escape ship. Leaving Clio and Stacia’s parents behind, the two head to an unknown destination. It seems everyone has a plan for Stacia, but all Stacia wants is to save her best friend, and she’ll stop at nothing to accomplish her goal.
Last of Her Name quickly became one of my favorite books this year. From the beginning, I found myself swept into Khoury’s world. The unknown has an underlying current of familiarity that brings the book to life. It’s like a sci-fi, historical fiction, fantasy mash up that unfolds almost cinematically.
Khoury’s pacing is on point. She excels in balancing Stacia’s inner turmoil, her outer struggles and the world building she experiences it all within. Last of Her Name is one novel I plan on rereading more than once.

Budget season is about to get underway on Capitol Hill, with President Bush and members of Congress searching for ways to reduce the nation’s estimated $423 billion deficit. Measured against the size of the economy, that projected shortfall is not record-setting, but coming as it does after a four year period in which deficits added nearly $1.3 trillion to the public debt, its magnitude is of some concern to lawmakers. But there is considerably less urgency associated with this issue than in the 1990s, when runaway deficits dominated the political agenda. And in this regard lawmakers are only reflecting the sentiments of their constituents.
Most Americans do regard deficit reduction as a worthwhile goal – 55% rated it as a “top priority” in Pew’s annual policy agenda survey in January. But the deficit simply does not have the same resonance that it did through much of the 1990s (before the budget was actually balanced, albeit briefly). At that time the budget deficit was then viewed as something of a national crisis; not only did significantly higher percentages rate reducing the deficit as a top policy priority (65% in 1994), but the deficit frequently ranked at or near the top of the public’s volunteered list of national problems. And in many ways, out-of-control deficits came to symbolize everything that was wrong at the time with Washington and the federal government.
In 1992, political maverick Ross Perot transformed the deficit into a pivotal issue in the presidential campaign – something never done before or since. In the final week of that campaign, fully 40% of voters said reducing the federal budget deficit should be the most important thing for the next president to accomplish – significantly more than the number who cited reducing unemployment (31%) or controlling health care costs (14%). And this was at a time when the unemployment rate stood at about 7%.
Shortly after President Clinton took office, as many Americans named the budget deficit as the nation’s most important problem as cited the economy or unemployment. But today, the budget deficit is barely an asterisk on the public’s list of most important national problems. In January, the war in Iraq was regarded as the biggest problem facing the nation (cited by 23%), followed by the economy (11%). Just 2% of Americans pointed to the budget deficit as the country’s most important problem, a number that has remained stable throughout Bush’s presidency.
Post-9/11 Demands. In fewer than five years, the nation has endured a devastating terrorist attack, a long and costly war, and one of the worst natural disasters in its history. In the face of such tragedies, the public has overwhelmingly supported massive new government spending for a variety of purposes, giving little consideration – if any – to its impact on the deficit. For instance, shortly after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, 51% of Americans said their biggest concern about the government’s hurricane relief effort was that the aid would not go to those who needed it; just 6% were concerned it would add too much to the deficit.
Political Vacuum. During the mid-1990s, the Republican Party campaigned on reducing the budget deficit, while Democrats approached the issue somewhat defensively. Now, the tables have turned, at least to some extent. In Pew’s January survey, 62% of Democrats, and 56% of independents, rated reducing the budget deficit as a top priority for the president and Congress, compared with just 45% of Republicans. Even among Democrats, however, slicing the deficit is a second-tier objective, ranking behind improving education, protecting the environment, regulating HMO’s, and other policy goals. Among Democrats, reducing the deficit ranked 12th out of 22 policy goals listed. Among independents and Republicans it ranked even lower (13th for independents and 14th for Republicans).
No Mood for Sacrifice. Even when the deficit was viewed as a major national crisis, the public showed little appetite for budget austerity. However, in the aftermath of the Cold War, the public was willing to accept substantial reductions in the defense budget. Now, with the nation at war in Iraq and facing the threat of terrorism, that is no longer the case. In October none of three major options for trimming the budget deficit – cutting domestic spending, reducing defense spending, or raising taxes – drew majority support.
Kinder, Gentler View of Government. While the federal government is currently held in fairly low regard, there is nothing like the bitter anti-government sentiment that prevailed in the early and mid-1990s. In that heated atmosphere, Perot’s attacks on the budget deficit 1992, and the GOP’s in 1994, galvanized the public. In July 1994, 66% of Americans agreed with this statement — “Government is almost always wasteful and inefficient.” A decade later, that figure had dropped to 47%. Hostility toward the government among Republicans in particular, which reached a fever pitch in the mid-1990s, cooled considerably once the GOP gained control of the White House and Congress.
Leadership Lacking. Finally, no major contemporary political figure has seized on the deficit as a political issue, as Perot did in the 1990s. His brief, quirky political career is recalled for his devotion to just two issues – the budget deficit and trade deficit – which both have fallen in importance since he left politics. And absent the emergence of that type of political leadership, the deficit is unlikely to stir much in the way of public outrage.

Aug. 10 (UPI) -- NASA engineers have cleared the Parker Solar Probe for launch.
"Teams are proceeding for liftoff on Saturday," NASA announced on Thursday.
There is a 70 percent chance of favorable weather during Saturday morning's 65-minute launch window, according to meteorologists with the U.S. Air Force 45th Space Wing. The launch window is scheduled to open at 3:33 am on Saturday.
The spacecraft has been attached to the United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket that will carry it into space. The duo are ready and waiting on Space Launch Complex 37 at Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. After escaping Earth's gravity, NASA's Parker Solar Probe will set its sights on the sun's atmosphere.
The probe will fly closer to the sun than any spacecraft in history, reaching record speeds along the way. The mission will see the probe touch the sun. As it swings through the sun's atmosphere, Parker's instrument suite will detect and measure the movement of electrons, protons and ions -- the particles that make up the sun's corona and its solar winds.
As Eric Christian, a space scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, told UPI, the probe's instruments will perform "the basic science." Through an improved understanding of how solar particles behave -- how they move and interact -- scientists hope to build better models of more complex solar phenomena.
"The Parker Solar Probe's observations will help us answer questions like: Why is the corona a couple million degrees hotter than the sun?" Christian said. "Another question we hope to answer is: Why is the solar wind accelerating up to very high speeds in the corona?" Christian said. "Some high-energy solar particles accelerate to nearly half the speed of light, and we don't know why."
On its record mission, PSP will fly within 4 million miles of the sun. That the spacecraft won't melt or burst into flames is thanks to its Thermal Protection System features, a 4.5-inch-thick carbon foam core sandwiched between layers of superheated carbon-carbon composite.
The outside of the heat shield will reach 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, but its insides, instruments included, will never get hotter than 85 degrees.

m.blaze disc by motogadget – a turn signal for handlebar end installation in a trend-setting design.
The m.blaze disc is the latest generation of turn signal lights. The characteristic feature of the LED turn signal is the transparent light-emitting disc on a compact aluminium base providing the harmonious finish of the handlebar end.
This is already the third generation of our turn signals using the motogadget TranzLight-Technology® (TLT, patent pending). This progressive approach to development is not limited to the miniaturization of turn signal casings. Furthermore, it creates new lighting concepts directly through a crystal-like plastic body. Only the precision of CAD calculations and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes allow this new design and its performance opportunities.
Specifically selected, high output LED with maximum efficiency and 7W total output and a service life of more than 50,000 hours.
IC controlled constant power source with 330 kHz pulses.
Special collimator optics, that precisely bundles the emission light from the LED into the plastic body.
The subtle aluminium casing is used for the secure mount of the plastic body only and includes the electronic control system and high-end LEDs. Traditionally, the casing is machined using CNC technology, available with an anodized black or mirror polish surface and furnished with an elegant finish of laser inscriptions.
The turn signal for handlebar end installation has a very low construction height and, due to the transparent disc, the m.blaze shows up with a very neutral and subtle look. That's why the m.blaze is the perfect match to many styles and all types of motorbikes.
Like any other conventional LED turn signal, the turn signal kit can be operated with load resistors or any of our load independent flasher relays (m.flash, m.wave, m.stop, m.relais+).
The m.blaze disc has E mark and front turn signal approval.
Quite harmonious finish for handlebar end - especially when equipped with m-grip or other billet grips.
Mounting Delivered with rubber clamping parts for steel and aluminium handlebars (22 mm and 1 in.) with 14 mm to 21 mm I.D.

A month in the world of a dog or puppy seems like such a long time; you go through daily excitement, walks, treats and meeting new people. But then the humans make you do tricks too, urgh what a chore! Here’s a looking into Wren & Raven’s life over the last month.
In the last month we have had some great adventures; we have been back home twice. With February having a half terms we were able to spend a week back at home; meaning walks in our old spots and even some new ones too.
So what has Wren been learning this month? When training dogs every day they are learning, training shouldn’t just stop when they have passed the puppy stage. Wren has quite a strong leave it command when we are out on a walk which we are thankful for. However we are working on a leave it command inside the home particularly working on paper and cardboard (Wrens favourite toy). We are also working on impulse control specifically a longer sit and wait & toning down her excitement when visitors come into the house.
When working on Wrens off lead walking it’s a slow process where we need a lot of patience. She is very good when in a pack of dogs however; on her own or with just Raven her attention is all over the place. Her love for people also takes over her sensibility; when they have essentially a bear running towards them, they are terrified. So the area we pick for Wren to be off lead is critical to her learning and experience.
As the girls are usually together Raven has also had many adventures meeting new people and dogs alike.
What has Raven been learning this month? Raven has been doing very well with her off lead walking; this could be because she is so young she doesn’t want to stray too far from her dad. We are intrigued to see how this changes as she ages. Both breeds are not known for their recall so it’s something we are actively working on. Like Wren, we are constantly working on impulse control with Raven but in different ways, greeting visitors is all the same.

Another preview of Adele’s interview on 60 Minutes this Sunday has surfaced.
The singer sits down with Anderson Cooper to talks about her career, her vocal cord surgery last fall and her comeback – she’s set to deliver her first live performance on the Grammys Sunday night.
For the 60 Minutes session, Cooper had Adele sit down at a piano to perform, but she was unable to play due to the length of her fingernails.
So…she did what comes naturally: sang a sample of “Rolling In The Deep” a capella.
Adele’s powerful voice is back in the house.
60 Minutes airs on CBS Sunday, February 12 at 7 PM ET/PT…followed by The Grammys at 8 PM ET/PT.
Adele is nominated for six awards this year, including Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year.
Watch another 60 Minutes preview with Adele here.

I'm taking the family skiing in the Jaca region of Spain over the holiday period. Any recommendations for sites in the Panticosa / Formigal / Candanchu / Astun areas would be most welcome. With 3 children under 8 I would need full facilities for, at least, some of the time. Also, is anyone aware of any resort offering free magic carpet lifts on the nursery slopes?

The author says Wole Soyinka’s statement on the Patience Jonathan was tactless.
I love Professor Wole Soyinka. I believe my lascivious/ amorous witty style of writing is a poor….very poor imitation of his, Yes he is my hero.
I also totally admire his readiness to bleed and indeed his bleeding for Nigeria and I want to believe I share same desire….even though yet to be proven.
His “The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny” is my mantra and it is in following this his quote that I do not keep quiet over his recent attack on the First Lady of Nigeria.
I have often wondered why Prof Soyinka, despite his clear interest in party/partisan politics has never been truly followed… he and Gani Fawehinmi and of course Femi Falana. I have asked myself if it is some kind of self-destruct button that the Nigerian voting populace has that makes us choose people of unproven integrity that we rather vote instead of these men whose brilliance is globally recognised and whose love for Nigeria is without question.
Yes I have lain on my bed pondering this many a time. Soyinka’s last press conference gave me the epiphany. Like Achimedes, I screamed EUREKA!!! And the answer is TACT. There are various definitions of these words. One dictionary defines it as “Acute sensitivity to what is proper and appropriate in dealing with others, including the ability to speak or act without offending.
Another says it is a keen sense of what to do or say in order to maintain good relations with others or avoid offense. The Merriam-Webster dictionary even gives an example that is instructive “The peace talks required great tact on the part of both leaders”.
So when Soyinka holds a press conference and attacks another man’s wife…sorry THE PRESIDENT’S WIFE and asks her to “be a lady” implying the first lady is not a lady. And also not adducing any evidence to buttress such a viewpoint and instead blaming someone with no constitutional powers for actions of men over 18 years…men chosen by their people as leaders….and doing this in a press conference had me nonplussed.
Who refers to the First Lady as a “mere domestic appendage of power” in any country of this world? Do not they know the wife plays a key role in getting votes for the husband? Is Michelle Obama not revered globally? Has the Queen of England ever hugged any human being aside Michelle? Is her qualification for that embrace not because of Obama being president? IS SHE A DOMESTIC APPENDAGE OF POWER?? Who in this century still considers women DOMESTIC? Is the Prof not aware that women now earn even more than men in Nigeria as the beautiful brilliant ones are snapped up quickly by employers?
Are our most powerful ministers these past years not been women ala Dora Akunyili and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala? What men towers above these women? So why call her DOMESTIC. Is this not an antediluvian mindset? But this is Nigeria. The Nigerian woman despite being some of the most fertile both in womb and in the cerebrum in all the earth, still does not realize her potentials and her rights and that those rights begin with correcting mental attitudes of their males. They do not picket the National Assembly to have domestic violence laws passed. They do not know how to influence the National Assembly to make laws that guarantees no man can kick them out of a house after they have toiled with him to build it. They do not know they deserve half, even when like Soyinka desires, they were “domestic” and raised the kids and did not work. They do not know how to make laws that will stop a man’s son from coming from nowhere and inheriting the man’s house upon his passing thus rendering them HOMELESS and of course they do not know how to tackle the professor from calling a position they by right occupy as winds beneath presidential wings (First Lady mere Domestic appendage of power).
Now compare Orji Uzor Kalu’s comments. Bear in mind that like Bola Tinubu, Orji Uzor Kalu has no former university classmate that is alive who remembers him in class. They were both spiritual students.
Indeed Orji has not written books of global significance nor is he the first black African to win the Nobel Laureate Prize for Literature. Yet his comments on the Rivers imbroglio are miles and miles more useful than that of the genius Soyinka. While Soyinka chose only one woman to blame, while his vitriol was targeted at Patience Dame Jonathan, Orji Uzor Kalu went deep into the root cause of the imbroglio. He spoke to all parties concerned. He apportioned blame where it lay…and intelligently too. For instance, despite all the GEJ vs. Amaechi, he first said GEJ was not involved then in the body spoke to GEJ like he was involved. He massaged GEJ’s ego then pricked it. Then asked that GEJ forgives Amaechi for any wrongs he may have done.
He told Amaechi he was popular, then reminded him of the powers of the president as he himself experienced against OBJ. He reminded Amaechi that the minute he loses power, he is NOBODY. His words were words on marble.
Now juxtapose the words and actions of a world-renowned professor with that of the University certificate forger and you will find that the difference is the TACT. Orji Kalu’s words are as potent and poignant. He told Amaechi it was wrong for him to disobey the clear dictates of his party and contest for the NGF.
He asked him to form his own party if he wants to be recalcitrant. He told GEJ he was petty fighting with a governor and over what? He showed GEJ was distracting himself.
Now these are clear attacks but coated in honey. They are vinegar pills in vanilla capsules…and yet as healing.
1. Patience Jonathan insults him back with very terrible English like “it is not by seniorship and white biabia that person have sensing. My husband GEJ has make it to numba one under my umblera era era eh eh eh, under my umbrella.
2. GEJ gets angry and sends his wife packing and we now have first president to drive his wife and throw her load outside of Aso Rock.
3. Make Amaechi and his supporters feel justified and break more maces and skulls.
4. Bring a new dimension and party (Wole Soyinka) to the equation (as he basically has done).
6. Have Patience insult his much younger wife who he basically has DOMESTICATED as we do not see or read of her.
I can go on and on and you can attack me all you want for having an opinion and voicing it about such an icon. But not to derail by trying to attack my person, (who I be? Attack jor, I MUST TALK as my Oga Soyinka say make Man no Silent or he die) The real criticism of this write up is Wole Soyinka’s approach and Orji Uzor’s approach, which showed tact, intelligence, brilliance, common sense, experience etc.
The answer to that will show you why Orji Uzor Kalu will run for president in 2019 and be a major force while if Soyinka ran, he would be a sidekick like Gani Fawehinmi.

Due to instructing Quentin Hunt and instituting a private prosecution Mr B secured justice in respect of an important breach of his privacy and the compromise of his divorce proceedings.
Following a lengthy investigation, the police made a decision to take No Further Action against WS. This meant that he was released from bail and would face no charges and would have no criminal record, caution or adverse record against his name.
Two defendants contacted Mr Hunt following committal for sentence to the Crown Court from the Magistrates. They were unhappy in respect of their previous solicitors and advice that led to guilty pleas being entered on their behalf.

In their strikes this year schoolteachers have forced policymakers to stop obsessing about punishing low-scoring, “loser” schools and begin reckoning with society’s responsibility to pay for the kind of schools our children need.
The most extraordinary evidence that the teachers’ strikes are forcing a rethinking of education policy, however, came last week in Los Angeles. The settlement of the recent strike by 30,000 Los Angeles teachers brought concessions including a modest raise, smaller classes and the guarantee of more support staff like counselors, librarians and school nurses. But the teachers demanded something more: They insisted on a vote by Los Angeles’s charter school-friendly board of education on a resolution requesting that the state legislature place an 8-10 month moratorium on new charter schools while a study is conducted on the impact of charter schools on the public school district.
This entry was posted in Addressing Child Poverty & Inequality, Equity & Opportunity to Learn, Policy Should Improve, Not Punish, Supporting Teachers, Too Much Standardized Testing and tagged failure of neoliberal school reform, failure of Race to the Top, teachers change national conversation about public education, teachers strikes highlight need for school resource inputs instead of demand for test-score outcomes, teachers' strikes highlight inadequate school resources. Bookmark the permalink.
Race to the top is of the same ilk as applying the concepts of private enterprise to education. Creating systems that focus on competition means that there must be winners and losers. There are already winners and losers in our society. It is why so many millions of our children are being and have been left behind. Our focus should be on providing quality education for all. Doing so does not require rocket science; it requires compassion and will and acceptance of the concept that a quality education should be (and it is not) a Consttutional and Universal Right of every American child.
Jeff makes the point about the importance of a system of public education beautifully. Jan, you’ve outdone yourself with the thoroughness and clarity your description of the evolution of the neoliberal impact on education. I would offer that the trend began earlier with the publication of A Nation At Risk. This report, with its emphasis in its summary of the failure of American schools (at odds, btw, with the data in the body of the report) became the driving force for the standards and assessment movement and was accompanied by the realization by business of the incredible market potential (read “profit potential”) presented by the nations schools. I believe that what we are seeing is the continuation of a struggle between what many call predatory capitalism and the concept of social democracy. Sadly, I see this as having a predictable end unless we are able to reduce/eliminate the role of big money in shaping the policies and, concurrently, develop a deeper understanding of the difference between socialism and social democracy.
The charter school movement has changed dramatically in the 20 years I’ve been involved in it. This change has not been for the better. Corporate schools are not only harming the districts, but also non-profit charters who want and need to be small.

Lumberyard Beta 1.14 adds over 200 new features, improvements, and fixes. As we continue to improve Lumberyard, we want to thank everyone in our community, whose suggestions help us make a better product every release. Since the initial launch, we've overhauled over 50% of the original code base, and we're still just getting started. Keep sending feedback to our forums as well as lumberyard-feedback@amazon.com. For the latest Lumberyard updates, follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and our blog.
Here's a sampling of the new features found in Lumberyard 1.14.
Wind Volume – Use this component to create volumes that are affected by wind. Wind can affect vegetation, particles, and physical objects. You can define attributes of the wind volume such as its direction, speed, resistance, and density.
Sky Cloud – Use this component to create realistic and detailed cloud effects. You can create clouds with either simple, sprite-based shading, or more complex, voxelized 3D volume shading. You can randomly generate common and volumetric clouds in controlled areas, control where clouds generate, and define the area in which clouds can move.
Force Volume – Use this component to apply physical force to objects within a volume. A force will be applied each frame to any object within the bounds of the volume. You can specify the following force types: linear damping, simple drag, local space, spline follow, world space, and point.
Tube Shape – Use this component to create a tube-like volume along a spline shape. To create a tube shape, you use a Spline component to define its volume and specify a radius. You can specify a different radius of the tube at each point in the spline.
For more information, see the Component Reference in the Amazon Lumberyard User Guide.
With Script Canvas you can script game logic and behaviors using the component entity system. Script Canvas offers an approachable and easy-to-read environment to author behaviors that use the same framework as Lua and C++. Script Canvas is built to take advantage of the modularity, performance, and flexibility of the component entity system.
Variable Manager – Use the Variable Manager pane to create and manage variables for supported variable types, create get or set variable nodes, and add variables to your Script Canvas graph to declare and initialize them. For more information, see Managing Script Canvas Variables.
Bookmarks – Add a shortcut to a specific location on your Script Canvas graph. You can then use the Bookmarks pane or keyboard shortcuts to move quickly to that location. For more information, see Adding Bookmarks for Script Canvas.
Batch Conversion Tool – Use the batch conversion tool to convert all .scriptcanvas files that are located in a specified directory and its child directories. For more information, see Converting Script Canvas Scripts.
Ray Cast Nodes – Use the ray casting nodes to cast rays between entities and positions in 3D space.
The EMotion FX Animation Editor helps artists build and animate complex character behavior. The Animation Editor includes visual tools to set up hierarchical state machines, logic, and advanced hierarchical blend trees.
Lumberyard 1.14 adds support for morph targets. A morph target is a deformed mesh that is stored as a series of vertex positions. You can use morph targets to deform a character's face to animate facial expressions or a character's body part to correct undesired deformation of skinning. You can also simulate deformation of clothing on a character.
Motion node – Plays morph target animations similar to skeletal animations.
Morph Target node – Animates morph targets by changing the weight at runtime.
For more information, see Animation Editor (EMotionFX) in the Amazon Lumberyard User Guide.
Use the Virtual Gamepad gem to provide your game's UI with touch screen capabilities on mobile devices. After you enable the Virtual Gamepad gem, you can add the virtual gamepad components to your game's UI in the UI Editor. For more information, see Virtual Gamepad Gem in the Amazon Lumberyard User Guide.
UI components define the properties of a UI element. The Particle Emitter component is a new UI component that you can use to emit 2D particles from an element. To see in-game examples of completed canvases with a Particle Emitter component, open the UiFeatures level in the SamplesProject project. Enter game mode and then choose Components, Visual Components, Particle Emitter. You can view particle emitter examples that create a variety of spark effects and trail effects.
For more information, see Visual Components – Particle Emitter and UIParticleEmitterComponent in the Amazon Lumberyard User Guide.
Lumberyard 1.14 adds support for Visual Studio 2017. Beginning with Visual Studio 2017, Microsoft now releases updates on a more frequent cadence (in some cases weekly). Lumberyard is tested with the latest version of Visual Studio available during the release cycle.
You can use the Lumberyard Setup Assistant to configure Visual Studio 2017, Visual Studio 2015, or both versions. You must select at least one version in order to install the appropriate Visual Studio redistributables. Waf generates a Visual Studio solution that you can manage with the user_settings.options file (located in the \dev\_WAF_ directory). The Visual Studio version field in this file is automatically updated with the version that you install. If you install both versions, the file uses Visual Studio 2015 as the default value.
For more information, see System Requirements and Running Lumberyard Setup Assistant in the Amazon Lumberyard User Guide.
You can use the following video tutorials to learn how to use the Lumberyard visual scripting system for your game project.

A French physicist namely “Breguet” was famous for his effort in the initial days of telegraphy. He suggested the utilization of reduced part of conductors to guard telegraph stations against the hits of lighting with liquefying, the slighter wires would guard equipment along with wiring in the building. In the year 1864, lighting installations and telegraph cables can be protected by employing a variety of foil fusible essentials and wires. Finally, Thomas Alva Edison has patented a fuse as an element of his electric distribution system in the year 1890. This article discusses what is a fuse, types of fuses and its applications in various fields.
In the field of electronics or electrical, a fuse is an essential device used in various electrical circuits which gives the protection from the overcurrent. It comprises a strip or a metal wire that dissolves when the heavy flow of current supplies through it. Once this device has functioned in an open circuit, it ought to rewire or changed based on the type of fuse. A fuse is an automatic disconnection of supply which is frequently shortened to ADS. The alternative of the fuse is a stabilizer or circuit breaker, but they have many different characteristics.
Why do we require Fuse?
These are used to prevent the home appliances from the high current or overload damage. If we use a fuse in the homes, the electrical faults cannot happen in the wiring and it doesn’t damage the appliance s from the fire of wire burning. When the fuse gets break or damage, then an abrupt sparkle happens which may direct to damage your home appliances. That is the reason we require different types of fuses to guard our home-appliances against damage.
The working principle of the fuse is “heating consequence of the current”. It is fabricated with a lean strip or thread of metallic wire. The connection of the Fuse in an electrical circuit is always in series.
When the too much current is produced due to the heavy flow of current in the electrical circuit, the fuse gets soften and it opens the circuit. The extreme flow of current may direct to the collapse of the wire and prevents the supply.
The fuse can be changed by the new fuse with an appropriate rating. It can be designed with the elements like Cu (copper), Zn (zinc), Al (aluminum) and Ag (silver). They also perform like a circuit breaker for breaking the circuit while the abrupt fault happens in the circuit. This works like a safety measure or protector for humans from risks. Like this, the fuse works.
The selection of a fuse can be done by calculating the fuse rating by using the above formula.
Write down the voltage (volts) and power (watts) of the appliance.
After the result, use the maximum fuse rating. For instance, if the calculated fuse rating is the maximum fuse rating. For example, if the calculated fuse rating is 7.689 amps, you can use an 8 amp fuse.
The fuses are classified into several types based on the application namely AC type fuse and DC type fuse. Again these fuses are classified into several types. The following diagram illustrates the electrical fuse types chart based on the AC fuse and DC fuse.
DC fuses are available superior in size, and DC supply has a stable value over 0 volts. So it is tough to remove and deactivate the circuit. There will be a chance of generation of an electric Arc between dissolved wires. To conquer this, electrodes located at better distances. For this reason, the size of DC fuse gets amplified.
The AC fuse is slighter in size and oscillated 50 to 60 times in each and every sec from least to highest. As a result, there is no scope for Arc generation between the dissolved wires. For this reason, they can be crammed in small size. Further, AC fuses are classified into two parts namely HV fuses and LV fuses. Here LV& HV indicates the low voltage and high voltage.
The low voltage fuses are divided into five types such as rewirable, cartridge, drop out, striker and switch fuses.
Rewirable fuses are LV fuses, which are almost used in small applications like wiring in the house, small-scale industries, and other tiny current applications. These types of fuses include two essential parts such as a fuse base, which has two terminals like in and out. In general, this element is fabricated with Porcelain. Another part of this fuse is a fuse carrier, which grips the fuse element. This element is fabricated with aluminum, tinned copper and lead. The main advantage of a fuse carrier is, we can simply plug and remove from the base of the fuse without the risk of shock. As the fuse is damaged due to heavy current, then we can simply eliminate the Fuse Carrier as well as put back the fuse wire.
The cartridge type of fuses has entirely closed containers and the metal contact as well. The applications of this fuse mainly include low voltage (LV), high voltage (HV), and small fuses. Again, these types of fuses are classified into two types, they are D-type and Link-type fuses.
This type of fuse is composed with the cartridge, base of the fuse, adapter ring, and cap. The base of the fuse includes a fuse cap, which is packed with the fuse ingredient by cartridge using an adapter ring.
It is composed of the cartridge, fuse base, cap & adapter ring. The fuse base has the fuse cap, which is fitted with the fuse element with a cartridge through the adapter ring. The connection of the circuit is finished when the tilt of the cartridge builds contact through the conductor.
The link type fuse is also known as high rupturing capacity (HRC) or BS type fuse. In this sort of fuse, the current flow with fuse element is specified under standard condition.
In this BS type fuse, the flow of current by fuse element is given under normal condition. The arc which is generated by the fuse blown is controlled is fabricated with porcelain, ceramic, and silver. The container of the fuse element is packed with silica sand. This type of fuse is again categorized into two parts includes a blade type and bolted type.
The knife type fuse or plug-in type of fuses is designed with plastic. This type of fuse can be simply changeable in the electric circuit exclusive of any load.
In bolted type fuse, plates of this fuse are conducting are set to the base of the fuse.
The striker type of fuse is employed for tripping and closing the electrical circuit. These fuses are having plenty of force as well as displacement.
Basically, the switch type fuse is enclosed with a metal switch and also a fuse. These fuses are mainly used in low and intermediate voltage levels.
Generally, HV fuses are used to protect the transformers like instrument transformers, small power transformer and also used in power systems. These fuses are normally charged for voltages over 1500V to 138000V.
The fuse part in HV fuses are fabricated with either copper, silver or in some cases Tin is used, in order to offer consistent and steady performance. These fuses are classified into three types which include the following.
The fuse component of the HRC is cut in the helix form which evades the effect of corona at the upper voltages. It includes two fused elements namely low resistance and high resistance, and that are located parallel by each other. The low-resistance wires take the usual current which is blown-out as well as decreases the short-circuit current throughout the fault state.
This type of fuse is packed with carbon tetrachloride also preserved at both the tops of the caps. Once the error occurs when the flowing current surpasses away from the allowable limit, and the element of the fuse is blown-out. The fluid of the fuse performs as an arc extinguishing standard for the HRC fuse types. They may be used to protect the transformer as well as the support protection to the breaker circuit.
These types of fuses are extensively used to protect the feeders as well as transformer due to they’re low-priced. It is designed for 11kV; also their cracking capability is up to 250 MVA. This type of fuse includes an unfilled open finished cylinder designed with synthetic resin-bonded paper.
The elements of the fuse are positioned in the cylinder, and the tubes tops are linked to appropriate equipment at every finish. The arc generating is blown off in the inside covering of the cylinder, and the gases thus shaped destroys the arc.
The different types of fuses and their uses have discussed are essential components in all the electrical circuits. Some of the main applications of fuses in Electrical and Electronics field include the following.
From the above information, finally, we can conclude that fuse and their types explained. The main function of the fuse is to protect the electrical circuits from the overflow of current. In a real-time situation, the flow of current during the wires may not be consistent all the times. In that situations, the device may get damage from overheat. While the equipment has highly developed with the handling of a circuit breaker, these types of fuses are still employed in various places like fundamental electrical components. Here is a question for you, what are the uses of a fuse?
thanks sir for this post.

Mumbai, Jan 14 (ANI): When the lifeline of transportation hampers its services, it causes grave inconvenience to the people. In Mumbai, the strike by Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply & Transport (BEST) bus employees has hampered commuting in the city as it entered its seventh day. Residents of Mumbai are facing inconvenience as they have to wait for other transportation amidst the strike. One of the residents said, “We have to wait long for any transport. When we take taxis they charge us a lot. This strike should be called off immediately.” The strike has been called over demands of implementation of the merger of the BEST budget with principal budget of the BMC, employee service residences etc.

The average pay for an Ombudsman is $20.00 per hour.
The average pay for an Ombudsman is $57,743 per year.
Ombudsmen work primarily in situations in which a power struggle exists among different parties. It is common in the United Kingdom and some surrounding areas for ombudsmen to settle disputes between businesses and consumers of products; when there is a complaint against a large company, for example, an ombudsman must mend the difference in power (large corporation versus an individual with a problem or complaint) to reach a peaceful agreement between both parties. The tactics used to settle disputes are generally mild and non-aggressive, such as simple mediation sessions. It is the ombudsman’s job to find a reasonable solution to the dispute as early as possible to avoid future conflict, and further research and investigation may be necessary for issues which turn into cases.
Resolve conflicts, disputes, or problems.
Serve as a trusted source of information.
Reestablish relationships between groups or individuals.
Pay by Experience for an Ombudsman has a positive trend. An entry-level Ombudsman with less than 5 years of experience can expect to earn an average total compensation of $43,000 based on 49 salaries provided by anonymous users. Average total compensation includes tips, bonus, and overtime pay. An Ombudsman with mid-career experience which includes employees with 5 to 10 years of experience can expect to earn an average total compensation of $60,000 based on 22 salaries. An experienced Ombudsman which includes employees with 10 to 20 years of experience can expect to earn an average total compensation of $65,000 based on 26 salaries. An Ombudsman with late-career experience which includes employees with greater than 20 years of experience can expect to earn an average total compensation of $77,000 based on 17 salaries.

Been getting this error “Download failed.: Operation timed out after 30 seconds” every time I try to update a plug-in in my WordPress 2.7.
After some digging around I found that my web server’s download speed was pretty low. WP 2.7 by default has a 30 second timeout set for it’s download function which I constantly kept hitting.
The workaround’s a simple hack to the file.php file in the /wp-admin/includes/ folder.
1. Download the file using over ftp or ssh. Depending on your hosting package.
3. Upload the modified file back into the /wp-admin/includes/ folder. Overwrite the old file if you must.
You auto update should be working fine now.

This piece of unique resin art was created with feelings of awe for the beauty of the world we live in. With amazement for the colours that are created by the water. And gratitude for being able to experience all of this. The artwork was created out of pure intuition and the easiest way to describe it, is that it just flowed out of me!
I was wake-boarding, flying over the water and there are the most magical colours when I look down. The stony bottom of the lake, the green reeds flowing in the water and the most incredible colours of the water that glint differently in different lights.
In fact that is what I love most about this piece. In certain lights it brings out a turquoisy blue and in other light it is more of a lake green. So it is a continually changing piece. The flecks of gold glint in the light and the shiny surface makes the colour pop. There are flecks of deep purple too. It is a piece that you can stare into to find all the different details.
123cm x 60cm x 2.5 cm. Created using Resin with a mixture of paints and pigments on a custom made wooden art board.
This artwork is suitable for a home, as well as high-end Hotels, restaurants, offices or similar. It brings a peaceful feel to a room and the shiny resin finish makes it an impressive feature to a room.

Pools boss Richard Money wants four players in the January transfer window.
Hartlepool United are expected to confirm the signing of a central defender in the next 24 hours.
Pools boss Richard Money has confirmed the club are closing in on their second signing of the January transfer window, with terms agreed to add an as yet unnamed youngster from a northern club on a temporary deal.
Money has seen his options at centre half weaken considerably this month with Harvey Rodgers returning to parent club Accrington Stanley, while Andrew Davies had his contract torn up to join Scottish Premiership side Dundee.
“We are looking to add to the squad," said the Pools manager, whose side play Harrogate Town this weekend.
"We are making progress and I’m probably spending more time than I really wanted to.
“I hoped we could get a bounce quickly, but we didn’t get that, so we need to improve things pretty quickly and freshen it up for supporters.
“I’m pretty hopeful for news over the next 24 hours. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see Harvey Rodgers has gone back and Andrew Davies has left the club so I’m hopeful we have one done, without saying so at the moment.
“I’ve made it clear where else I would like to strengthen so I wouldn’t like for now to say too much.
“We have focused on signing players we think we can get – the market is different in January as we are selecting from who may be available, a talented youngster who may needs games.
Pools signed Doncaster Rovers left-back Danny Amos on loan earlier this month.
This is not likely to be the last piece of business done by Pools and Money this month, with the manager targeting two wide players and another central defender before February.
