Where 32=16
Win 3 wasn't 32-bit, win95 was the start of that on the consumer side IIRC
Windows 3.0, arguably Microsoft's first effective graphical user interface, turned 20 this past weekend. On May 22, 1990, Redmond introduced the 32-bit GUI (not an operating system - Win 3.0 ran on top of DOS), and by doing so, it put the fear of Gates into any Apple fanboi honest enough to see the 16-color writing on the …
Win 3 wasn't 32-bit, win95 was the start of that on the consumer side IIRC
Windows 3 did have 386 enhanced mode but it was not the same thing as 32 bit mode, which was introduced in WFW 3.11, albeit you had to install that capability manually IIRC
wish I could :-(
came on 5 disks, and you had to install it to get 3.11 to run Foxpro ....
"In addition to support for 16 colors"
And then you show a 24bit color picker on what is clearly an 8bit color display... Eh, oh well.
Win 98 is really what windows 95 could have done to have been, and windows ME is what should have been in place of 98.
I've used MS-DOS and Windows primarily my entire PC using life, I hate to say it but from here it can only go downhill. Windows, simeltaneously the best (standardisation) and worst thing to happen to computers.
did you just put ME above 98?! Did you ever use it?!
Windows ME should not have been.
"I've used MS-DOS and Windows primarily my entire PC using life, I hate to say it but from here it can only go downhill."
It's been going downhill for years mate.
ME was far better than 98 easily... anyone who has actually used it and not followed the sheep that complained about it would know this. I hated the unstable 98 (& 98SE), and ME introduced functions (like System Restore, bubble notifications, etc.) that subsequently arrived in 2000 and XP.
Do you live in bizarro world where everything is the opposite?
ME sucked ass big time. Yes we saw many new features that would be come standard in later versions. But it was VERY unstable.
So...I take it liked Vista as well. Do you work for Microsoft, or is it merely a case of the religious belief that "newer is /always/ better!"
Yup, I also spent a good few years running ME on my home PC, and I don't quite understand how it managed to earn itself such a bad reputation. Compared to the 98SE installation that preceded it, ME was no more unstable (*), and it finally allowed things on my PC to work the way 98 claimed they would work but never quite managed to do. Only when I switched to ME did I finally start to realise USB wasn't just a monumental waste of time - every time I dabbled with adding USB devices to my 98 setup it was a lottery as to whether or not it would actually work at all, let alone reliably enough to be worth replacing the parallel/serial port version of whatever it was.
* Despite my personal preference for ME over previous versions of 9x, I'd never go so far as to ever describe it as stable. Nor would I describe any 9x version that way, and I'd go so far as to suggest that anyone who thinks they remember any version of 9x being stable either has a really poor memory or never really did anything with their PC when it was switched on. It wasn't until the NT-based versions made it into the mainstream that I was able to start giving the hardware reset button a well-earned break.
ME was the biggest turd EVER. Totally unstable. I ran it for about 2 months and ditched it for 98.
I'm going to guess that the moderators are stuck under such an avalanche of invective that they haven't gotten any responses posted yet. I await the "creative" misspellings of "Microsoft" and "Windows" which so enliven a dull day, to say nothing of the froth-covered, bile-filled, largely-incoherent and misspelled torrent of vitriol and hatred which is sure to ensue. For extra points, please be sure to include the following:
Hate Microsoft by all means but using 'M$' to describe them at every turn is beyond sad.
It is the aim of any commercial entity to make profit, but some go a little to far.
Perpetually *selling* us the *upgrades* to stuff that didn't work in the previous version we paid for, to me, more than qualifies for any of the M$, or worse, labels that get stuck on them.
Not sad... true.
And Apple charging for the equivelent of a service pack and calling it a new version is any better? Give us a break.
Win 3.11 is still out there as the basis of an awful lot of embedded systems in things like POS terminals (not sure but I think it might also be the basis for Windows CE).
20 years not out - you got to admit that's pretty good.
You can actually download WFW 3.11 from TechNet Plus (and probably other MS repostories as well) in a neat little ISO - nice for wasting an afternoon building a retro VM with no working networking, or a browser come to think of it? Be warned though, you'll need the MS-DOS 6.11 downloading and installing first (remember..?!).
You made me realise how amazing the Amiga was at the time! (Curse the marketing and management of Commodore)
The Amiga was indeed truly amazing, and I am truly disappointed in its failure to succeed.
But aesthetics wise, you gotta admit, the GUI looked like shit.
At the time, although completely monochrome, the mac had advantage (in my opinion) in aesthetics in that pixels were square and the GUI was better. Even GEM looked better, as did eventually RiscOS. Of course win 3.0 looked like rubbish till 4.0.
I don't doubt Commodore's marketing department had a lot to do with its failure but perhaps if they had paid more attention to aesthetics, it might have done just that little bit better. Perhaps. We'll never know.
RIP amiga.
In defence of the aspect ratio used for Workbench, it was designed to be used with a TV as a monitor, not a dedicated monitor. All the icons could be replaced with versions in the correct aspect ratio and it could then be run at 640x480, which looked fine (see MagicWB and Newicons for examples of icon replacement). Workbenches prior to 2 looked pretty bad, with a very garish colour scheme, but 2.0 onwards could look pretty darn nice with a decent monitor and some tweaking.
Ok, Amiga got mentioned. Yay. Title is demoscene reference. Let's see how many closet present-day Amiga users/lurkers there are out there still ;-)
Commodore's poor management really did end it all for the Amiga, however, like the C64, it is still held closely to my heart. As for Wb1.3 blue and orange colour scheme, well I really don't know what they were thinking at the time. As you said with Wb2 onwards things started to look pretty slick especially when you took on the ARQ and MagicWB enhancements.
I really need to buy a new 1024S monitor for mine, it blew up not so long ago :(
They used such garish colours because they concluded they looked best on the most common used displays at the time (televisions)... i.e minimal colour bleeding and saturation :) Amiga developers always had good reasons.... :D
"The Amiga team chose it basing their job on direct experiences made to obtain better contrast solution using even the worst televisions the team could find."
All five of them.
How times have changed.
OS/2 was WAY better. Wish Big Blue had pushed it harder.
Yes. I know. I'm going........
Running on a rather ancient lugtop a partner in a solicitors practice handed me with a cryptic repair request.
The GUI nearly did for me. Initially I simply couldn't remember how to actually use 3.1 because it's been so long. The problem? The version of word he had installed wouldn't open a .docx document from his work PC.
I sometimes wonder whether I'd manage if for some reason I suddenly had to fix something in 3.x for someone. I have dim and not-so-cherished memories of spending a lot of time dicking about with config.sys just to get X piece of new hardware to work, which would in turn break Y piece of old hardware, etc. etc.
Minesweeper FTW!
Err, just thought I'd mention that the sentence where you say you weren't going to mention certain things became rather self-defeating in that you, er, mentioned the things in the process of trying not mentioning them...
...or something like that.
I'm confused now and have to go lie down.
I'm sure there's no need to remind Reg readers that this rhetorical device is called paralipsis.
was it?
i thought 32bit only came along with win3.11 and the win32 librarys on top?
That's a very bad memory.
Traumatically, I can't even remember details. Best left buried, tbh. Thank f@#@ for win NT/95 etc..
(Credit where its due, M$ did a flipping miracle that windows actually... worked... for want of a better word).
I'm no windows fan, self professed agnostic and critic of all platforms, but windows... I have to deal with it, and really.... It's not that a big deal and inasmuch as there are stupid things in it there are clever things in it too...
Win 3.1 was also 16bit. 32bit extensions were enabled by the Win32s driver.
Windows 3.x was able to broker memory access beyond 16bit of course via EMS and XMS memory manager (emm386 and himem.sys ) but everything else was 16bit all the way.
> self professed agnostic
You profess that it is, ultimately, impossible to know what OS is being run?
Perhaps you meant that you were neutral, or apathetic?
The 32-bit APIs were only in the Win32S *optional* subsystem for Win3.1 (or .11?), which came much later.
I think 3.1 also added 32-bit disk access as well, bypassing the bottleneck DOS drivers, but I'm fairly certain nothing within 3.0 was ever 32-bit.
Windows could (and had to) use EMM386 to run. Win 3.1 also managed it.
I'd like to add that MS-DOS 6.2 and Win 3.1 were kinda good for me.
MS-DOS 6.22 and Win 3.11 were something ugly. For some deranged reason, they were incompatible! Backups made with MS Backup 6.2 wouldn't restore with 6.22, and there were a lot of weird differences between them.
I just skipped over to Win95, and consigned Win 3.11 at the same place I sent Win ME and Vista.
I was so used to MSDOS and command prompt. At my school the 386 PC had Windows 3.0 and I was totally stumped as to use it. I made a total mess of the interface and thought, "Maybe I can quit and it will sort itself out." To my horror, it kept the total mess that I had created and had not used Windows until 2 years later when I got a PC with Windows 3.11 for Workgroups. I think it was the Program Manager that caught me out. What I did like about Windows was the fact that I could get one set of printer drivers and also many fonts for all the software.
of how, after eight or nine years using CP/M at work, I was suddenly introduced to a graphic interface. That was the biggest shock I experienced in computing: moving some years (and versions of Windows) later to Linu^H^H^H^H a better OS was nothing in comparison.
Did you not find MS-DOS a better CP/M?
I ran a department porting CP/M to a Z80 in ~1984. My recollection is that it was very much better than MS-DOS, when I eventually got around to seeing it (maybe a year later?). We also ported Gem in the same year - I remember being very impressed by it. I don't think I have ever been very, or even slightly, impressed by any version of Windows. We were running bit-mapped 512x512 8-bit colour (with and without Gem), *many* years before MS.
The whole IBM/MS/MS-DOS thing completely shafted us - we went bust in '84 as soon as people realised that superior technology was irrelevant when the opposition was selling something with the word 'IBM' in it.
What the MS fanbois often don't realise is that there's a very good reason that many of us hate MS. It took them until 2000 to produce a half-way usable OS, and a few years after that till they caught up with state-of-the-art hardware. Anyone remember all those crappy years running Hercules graphics adaptors, and all the rest of it? MS has spent the last 26 years slowly locking us in to their lowest-common-denominator world view, and all that history is painfully obvious every time I have to run up Cygwin to do to do something non-trivial, or whenever I need to write something in a proper language which doesn't have some retarded locked-in management framework, or whenever I have to reinstall Vista, or whenever. Whoever said you couldn't fool all the people all the time had obviously never met Bill Gates.
And don't get me started on Linux... :(
something similar happened Strongbad, who was used to a CLI on his Compy386, when he tried to check his email on The Cheat's iMac.
You didn't mention Win2000 either. Also interesting fact, just to be pedantic. Windows didn't become an OS until at least '98/NT4 as '95 still had to install DOS 7 before it installed the Windows app (it was just automated into one package).
The confusion is that MS had two Windows that were developed in (sort of) parallel:
The GUI that ran on top of DOS with "cooperative" multitasking:
And the OS, with pre-emptive multitasking:
OS/2 1, OS/2 2, NT 3.5, NT 4, 2000, XP, Vista, 7
However, they still managed to keep some of the worst "features" throughout... like filenames with a 3-letter extension that gets hidden by default, so you have to guess whether clicking on the file will execute it, or start some other program and load it, except that the icons can be changed by the file.
NT 3.1, NT3.5, NT3.51 were REAL OS and Windows. 1993 to 1995
NT4.0 was 1996
The inexplicable was not cutting price of NT3.51, offering the later explorer desktop (which was available via MSDN before NT4.0 arrived) and promoting Win95 for Business.
Win95 was a Games Console. NT3.5x was a real OS. Shame on you MS.
Also Win95 /Office 95 was still largely 16bit. No more 32bit than WinFWG3.11 + 32bit disk + Win32S + 32bit TCP/IP. NT3.5x really was 32bit.
1995 to 2002. The wasted years.
All the versions of Windows that are not based on the NT kernel are just front-ends for DOS to greater or lesser exents. NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and the server variations thereof are operating systems.
From Win95 onwards, and refined more and more until the end-of-the-line ME, DOS was used essentially as a bootstrapper for the main OS, which once loaded sidestepped it and used it's own (mix of 16 and 32-bit) subsystems for access to the hardware.
You remember the need to reboot to run some games from a DOS prompt, well this was because it would have required exclusive access to a 'real' DOS environment, not a virtualised one within Windows.
Win '98 used the same DOS 7 / Win98 wrapper. Hell, ME also used it! The real jump was Win2000/XP, because that was when MS discontinued the DOS+Windows line, and jumped everyone into the NT platform.
I'd become used to the lovely, stable, logical and really rather advanced RISC OS, even gaining access to one of the three hallowed and stunningly-expensive Acorn RISC PC's that the CS department had managed to wangle itself. In fact the only time I'd even been vaguely aware of Windows existence during that time was seeing an odd logo on the screen of one of the RISC PC's, which was MS-DOS/Win3.1 running iirc on some sort of hybrid VM that actually involved slotting in an x86 CPU on a daughter board, and at which we were all encouraged to point and laugh.
Then I left school, started work, got plonked in front of Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and left to get on with it. First impression: WTF this is totally retarded. Sadly, I've rarely worked with anything else since that day. Needs must when the devil drives and all that.
(PS: Halogen days, not halcyon days. It's deliberate, so please try to resist the temptation to correct me - you know who you are.)
Aren't you thinking of your quondam days?

Hot oil treatments?
Generally with a hot oil treatment for hair, they are used once a week. The bottle of oil is heated by putting the bottle in hot water for an extended period of time. The conditioning treatment of the hair gives more strength and body to the hair. The hot oil can help repair damaged and weak hair as every strand gets the treatment it needs instantly when the oil is applied.
After heating the tube of oil in the water, generally for a minute or so, you can message the hot oil treatment into your wet hair. Massage all the oil thoroughly in the hair so that all the hair will be able to be exposed to the hot oil. Many times people that use hot oil treatments do not make sure that all their hair is exposed and this can cause weakness to those areas of the hair. After this is done, you can rinse the hair and the scalp thoroughly under the running water. After the hot oil treatment is done processing, shampoo your hair as you regularly do. You can use the hot oil treatment once or week or as often as needed.
Some of the more natural oils that are popular for hot oil treatments are olive oil, jasmine oil, and jojoba oil.
I haven't done a hot oil treatment in forever. Maybe I'll do one soon.
I'm gonna trya hot oil treatment on my dd's hair....thanks for posting ladies

The experienced ones are holding off the rookies. What gives!
LAURA Wilkinson, a 2000 Olympic gold medalist held off youngster Haley Ishimatsu for the top women's platform spot at the USA Diving Olympic Trials held at the IU Natatorium.
Wilkinson collected 1,214.50 points to win and secure her berth on the 2008 Beijing Games roster, while Ishimatsu (1,140.40) led a quintet of other divers that qualified for the team selection camp taking place in Knoxville, Tenn., at the beginning of next month.
Nineteen-year-old David Boudia beat 18-year-old Thomas Finchum, his close friend and longtime training partner, in a battle of 10s on the men's platform.
The once-dominant American team is eager to make up for its medal shutout at Athens four years ago, and Boudia might have the best chance to take down the powerful Chinese.
"We've seen them get beat before," Boudia said. "We know they can be beaten, which is good to know."
Good luck to the American team! May they beat the socks off the other nations in Bejing this year.
God speed!

Japanese master shoemaker takes English art and makes it his own
Master craftsman challenges Japanese norms with micro-stitched, English-style shoemaking
Related topics
Chihiro Yamaguchi, founder of luxury Japanese shoe label Guild of Crafts, is busy hand-stitching his next creation. He pauses for a moment, holding up his left hand to reveal a calloused and hardened thumb, the product of decades of making shoes the traditional English way - albeit with a Japanese twist.
With up to a six-month wait for a pair, Guild of Crafts shoes have gained an almost cult-like following and not only for their curious blend of East and West, evidenced, for example, in the way bamboo is used.
"There's not much difference between my shoes and English shoes. But my character, the Asian character, comes through," says the 53-year-old.
"Asian people care very much about small things, tiny things. So I've tried to make the stitching tiny, for example," he says, showing a shoe with incredible micro-stitching.
The Japanese master shoemaker visited Hong Kong recently to promote his work at the Independence Gallery in the Pedder Building, where he recounted his journey to becoming a master of English shoemaking.
"I came from a country where shoes were made by machines," says the craftsman, who first worked in a tyre factory that also made sneakers. "I realised that every piece of shoemaking could still be done by hand. So I decided to study shoemaking from the beginning, but there was no school in Japan."
Yamaguchi's thirst for knowledge led him, in the 1980s, to England's prestigious Cordwainers Technical College (now part of the London College of Fashion), which also trained Jimmy Choo and Patrick Cox.
The young Yamaguchi proved a natural. His talent was recognised early and earned him a sought-after apprenticeship. "I won a design competition at college and the prize was working with Tricker's at their factory in Northampton.
"After Tricker's, I went to work for a shoemaker in Pisa, Italy, called Cloud. I tried to gain any experience that would help me with shoemaking.
"I am a man with many masters, and these were real intense apprenticeships. Just shoes, nothing else."
In 1991, Yamaguchi was elected a member of the "Guild of Master Craftsmen", an honour bestowed upon a select few shoemakers.
Heading back home, Yamaguchi set up shop in Tokyo, but business was very slow, as he clashed with the culture of shoe-buying in Japan and struggled with the fact that his brand was unknown - and expensive. At the time, he charged 300,000 yen (HK$23,400 today) for a pair.
"Becoming a shoemaker is almost impossible, as you have no customers to start with. And in Japan 25 years ago, there was no market for such expensive shoes," he says.
He supported himself by freelancing for brands like Dr Martens and Fubu, and teaching shoemaking at a college he established. Then his luck changed when he was introduced by friends to a journalist, who gave him glowing reviews. "He wrote about me and he still has the shoes I made for him. He is still my customer," Yamaguchi says.
Producing more than 300 pairs a year, Guild of Crafts now has no problem finding a devoted clientele. "I have one shop now, in Ginza. That is enough," says Yamaguchi.
Still, he has ambitions that might bring his career full circle: "My dream is to have a shop in Europe, maybe in Paris. Or London, of course."

Any Mother's Daughter
by Bonnie L. Diraimondo RN
No critic rating
Waiting for minimum critic reviews
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that some 20 million Americans have contracted HPV (Human Papillomavirus) and 6.2 million more will contract the virus each year. HPV has become the single most sexually transmitted disease. It is known to cause cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal and penile cancer. However, it is now also associated with cancers of the lung, head and neck as well as oral cancers. Current research is showing that this virus can be transmitted in other ways separate from a component of sexual transmission. This compelling true story of one woman's lifelong struggle with HPV (Human Papillomavirus), "Any Mother's Daughter" describes the author's intensely personal experience with the most frequently sexually transmitted disease. Through the use of her autobiographical accounts, combined with explanations of the various types, grading and potential complications of HPV, the author brings a new understanding to patients. Up-to-date medical information including diagnosis, treatments, procedures, and a host of other material compiled to assist the reader in understanding this most common yet most misunderstood virus and the diseases it can potentially cause.Professor Harald zur Hausen MD, a virologist, HPV researcher and Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine 2008 for his discovery that HPV causes cervical cancer, makes the following comments regarding this "must read" book:"This is not only a book for "any mother's daughter" but also for everyone who wishes to become informed about HPV infections, but it also belongs into the hands of many practicing physicians who need to refresh their knowledge of HPV." "Importantly, this book is an outcry shaking up those who are not willing to consider a mainly sexually transmitted infection a serious threat....."

About Bonnie L. Diraimondo RN
See more books from this Author
Bonnie Diraimondo is a registered nurse who was diagnosed with HPV (Human Papillomavirus) in 1987. She has unfortunately suffered from dysplasias (premalignant lesions) as well as cancer caused by this virus involving the cervix, vagina, vulva and anus. She was diagnosed with an invasive anal cancer in 1991 when her daughter was only six weeks old. Ms. Diraimondo's treatment at that time included surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. The HPV virus can remain dormant for years, and in 2009, after suffering premalignant anal dysplasias for the prior three years, she was again diagnosed with invasive anal cancer. For the second time, she is in the "fight of her life" having to endure both radiation and chemotherapy once more. Frustrated with the continued lack of knowledge and understanding regarding HPV amongst patients and physicians, now well over two decades since her own initial diagnosis, she has written "Any Mother's Daughter" to help fill this enormous information gap.

The Colorado Ballet's recent decision to extend artistic director Gil Boggs' contract for five years comes as something of a surprise.
What raises eyebrows is not that his contract was extended — that was certainly expected — but that it was extended for five years.
"I think it's a vote of confidence in his abilities and the direction he is taking the company," said board chairwoman Denise Sanderson.
But five-year contracts for anyone from football coaches to business leaders can be risky, because expectations, institutional dynamics and, indeed, an entire field can change quickly and without warning.
It might be even riskier in the case of Boggs because he has yet to fully prove himself as a visionary leader.
William Whitener, the well-respected artistic director of the Kansas City, Mo., Ballet is in the second year of a five-year contract, but he has led that company for 14 seasons and has a proven track record.
A strong case can be made that Boggs, who began his duties in 2006, has brought more qualitative consistency to the ballet's productions. And he certainly deserves considerable credit for the company's 27 percent jump in paid attendance last season.
But it is also true that he has yet to define a distinctive artistic identity for the company or substantially add depth to the company's talent pool — two key determinants of long-term success.
The ballet's fragile financial state when he arrived and the economic skid over the past year have not worked in Boggs' favor. He has had discussions with New York's Joyce Theater about presenting the company there, and he would like to commission a new story ballet — both important steps — but the ballet does not have the money to realize either.
That said, an artistic director has only so much time to make his or her mark, and, for Boggs, who is beginning his fourth season, the clock is ticking.
He has essentially continued the same programming structure of his predecessor, with a season consisting primarily of "The Nutcracker," two story ballets and a repertory presentation of modern or contemporary pieces.
The one change has been his addition of a fall offering at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts — a mix of revivals and company premieres. That program is back this weekend for just its second year, so it's too soon to make any judgments.
But what is clear is that Boggs has done little to give the company a unique profile in the dance world. The Miami City Ballet, for example, has made itself a respected George Balanchine outpost, and the Kansas City Ballet drew national attention in 2002 for an unusual program of new and classic solos.
To date, the Colorado Ballet has done nothing similar, and Boggs has yet to articulate plans for something along those lines. He has said he would like to add works by contemporary European choreographers, such as Jirí Kylián — a commendable initiative — but other companies have already moved in that direction.
At the same time, Boggs has yet to prove his ability to lure dancers who will bolster the company's top ranks. Eight of the company's 11 soloists and principals were hired by the company's previous artistic director, Martin Fredmann.
"We made a couple hires this year that I'm very excited about," Boggs said. "I see them progressing very fast through the company."
The huge challenge, which he acknowledges, will be replacing Maria Mosina and Igor Vassine, who are nearing the ends of their careers.
They are by far the company's biggest stars and its unquestioned masters of the classical repertory. There is no one coming up that has the skill or artistry to step in and fully replace them.
"Igor and Maria, they're wonderful and they're here and they're going to be almost impossible to replace," Boggs said. "That's just a fact of life. But you're constantly looking for somebody, who years down the road, as your principals are retiring, will grow into that."
As Sanderson suggests, a five-year contract is a big vote of confidence, and now the pressure is on for Boggs to sharpen the ballet's identity and raise its national standing.

Landscape and Character in 20th Century "Big Books" - Louisville Conference (Feb. 20-22, 2014)
The Louisville Conference on Literature and Culture Since 1900
Louisville, KY | 20-22 February 2014
In what ways has literature and our understanding of it been shaped by our relationship to landscape—or by landscape's relation to books we read? For his part, Durrell appreciated "big" books for the importance they afford place: "What makes 'big' books is surely as much to do with their site as their characters and incidents." When "ordinary novels," he indicated in his essay on "Landscape and Character," are "well and truly anchored in nature they usually become classics. One can detect this quality of 'bigness' in most books which are so sited from Huckleberry Finn to The Grapes of Wrath."
Among Durrell's own works, we might consider The Alexandria Quartet as remarkable for treatment of place as for plots or people. Across the breadth of the Quartet, characters from around the Mediterranean and across Europe slowly synchronize, shifting attitudes as with desert sands to arrive at similar symptoms and maladies in that work's final volume. In The Avignon Quintet, too, people from across Europe, most notably displaced Jews and gipsies, exhibit customs and qualities marked by landscape. Durrell's concern for the personal characteristics inhering in landscape is informed by the time he spent articulating British interests abroad. In this new poetics, "landscape" takes its place with Aristotle's "incident" and "character" to augment and ultimately supplant "thought."
In light of the upcoming conference on "Durrell and Place," scheduled in Vancouver, papers for this session of the 2014 Louisville Conference sponsored by the International Lawrence Durrell Society should address the effects of landscape on character and action in fictional "big" books published since 1900. The twentieth century offers a wealth of texts, "big" in Durrell's sense, in whose good company his writings and comments may be considered. Fictional places that invite analysis—on their own or in conjunction with Durrellian locales—include (but are not limited to):
- James Joyce's Dublin
- Anne Rice's New Orleans
- Sholem Asch's St. Petersburg, Warsaw, and Moscow
- The Paris of Walter Benjamin or Ernest Hemingway
- Freya Stark's western Iran
- The Kashmir of Salman Rushdie
- The Balkans of Olivia Manning
- Extraterrestrial places in work by authors like Carl Sagan
- William Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County
- J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle Earth
Please send a 250-word abstract to James Clawson, International Lawrence Durrell Society, (email@example.com) by Oct. 1, 2013. Final presentations should be limited to 20 minutes in length.

Learning by doing sticks with kids
Published 8:00 pm, Wednesday, October 6, 2004
They gain knowledge from the books they read, the technology they use, and the adults who teach. They also learn important lessons through extra curricular activities and from their peers. All are important in helping to shape young people as they approach adulthood. But there's still nothing quite like "hands-on" learning when it comes to applying what you've learned and then retaining that knowledge.
Recently dozens of high school students from Huron and Tuscola counties participated in the annual Land Judging Day hosted by the two county's conservation districts. Students are transported to an outdoor classroom to put the knowledge they've learned indoors to the test. During the day they go through various stations, judging the land on such things as moisture and soil type. Students also work together in teams throughout the day as they strive to place in the front of the pack when all is said and done.
Events like Land Judging Day help to reinforce what students learn from books and teachers, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking, problem solving and working together with others. Learning by doing is a great tool and can make for a fun learning environment. What's not to like about that?

Separation agreement
- Solicitor approved
- Plain English makes editing easy
- Guidance notes included
- Money back guarantee
What is a separation agreement?
When a relationship ends and partners go their own ways, there can be a great deal of uncertainty as to who will pay previously joint bills, how possessions and assets will be split, and who will look after the children.
For married couples, an agreement like this one (sometimes called a deed of separation) provides certainty as to how each person will live while a divorce is being settled.
It is also suitable for:
- couples who are separating having not married, and for
- couples looking to end a civil partnership or same sex union.
This document provides both parties with a degree of protection and certainty in what would otherwise be a very uncertain time.
You should note that no separation agreement is binding in law in the same way that a commercial contract would be. A judge can still change the terms, whether your agreement is based on our template or is written for you by your solicitor. We explain in more detail further down this page.
Why use a written agreement
There are a number of reasons to use a written deed of separation:
Prevent future arguments
Recording what you agree in writing creates evidence of what you intended to happen when you split up. Once he or she has signed a formal agreement, it is more difficult for your partner to argue that he or she did not agree to something.
Save time and money on solicitors
Solicitors can be good negotiators and can offer good advice on entitlements, but there is nothing in this type of document that requires legal knowledge or a solicitor. This separation agreement achieves much the same as a solicitor would do for you after a few meetings.
Unless you want a solicitor for another reason, you can save time and money by completing this separation agreement template yourself instead of asking him or her to do it for you at a high hourly cost.
It could form the basis of a consent order in divorce
If you can demonstrate that the agreement has worked well for a period of time, a judge could let it form the basis of a consent agreement in divorce proceedings.
Keep the relationship amicable
Court proceedings inevitably become acrimonious. There is a much greater chance of keeping your future relationship friendly (and agreeing a split that suits both parties, keeping joint friends and making access to children easier) if you can work out together the details of the separation before you reach a court. A deed of separation can make divorce process easier, faster and less stressful because many of the difficult things have been agreed already.
The current status of separation agreements
A separation agreement is not binding in the same way as a commercial contract. The Court still has a complete discretion to make a consent order in different terms to any previous agreement.
However, when or if you do have to go to court, it is likely that the judge will make an order (which will be binding of course) in the terms of your agreement provided:
- the agreement is fair;
- you both worked on the agreement without pressure and entered into it freely;
- you both had adequate knowledge of the situation;
- there have been no overlooked or unforeseen changes in circumstances since it was signed;
- it covers all your assets after full disclosure.
The extent to which a judge will stay with the agreement reflects the level of his acceptance of the above three points.
If one of you is in breach of the deed of separation and the other goes to court to enforce it, the judge will make an assessment as described above and will enforce the agreement to the extent that he feels is right.
We have an excellent article explaining why and when to use a agreement to record your separation.
Note: children arrangements have no legal standing at all. The court will take no account of what you have agreed but will start afresh in considering the interest of each child. Of course, if a satisfactory arrangement is in place, it is likely that he will order that the arrangement should remain undisturbed. It is always worth making arrangements for your children because it is bound to be in their interests to have a secure and firm framework for their lives.
Completing the template yourself
This straightforward separation contract and easy to complete. You don't need to involve solicitors or go to court.
First, you should discuss at a high level what you both want before starting dviorce or dissolution proceedings.
Next, you should each draw up a list of assets. This deed of separation provides for detailed disclosure, but we have no way of knowing every category of thing you might own. We therefore suggest that you consider careful what other assets you might have and make sure they are disclosed and accounted for.
You may need to instruct experts (such as an accountant and/or a surveyor) to value financial and physical joint assets.
For more information read our article on what your agreement should include.
This template provides for you to set down your exact arrangements for your children. Although not binding on the Court, your written agreement together will reduce the risk of future disagreement, as will all other aspects of your lives.
The agreement is made once it has been signed by both parties. You do not need to involve a solicitor or any third party, nor do you need to register the document anywhere. There are no additional fees to pay.
The separation agreement template includes paragraphs that cover:
- Details of the parties, including the separation date
- Details of any children, if applicable
- Arrangements for the disposal of the house by sale, or
- An option for one party to keep the matrimonial home and be bought out by the other
- Payment of outgoings such as bills and other expenses – who will pay
- Division of assets and funds, and other personal possessions and household property
- Assignment of insurance policies (you may additionally need: a deed of assignment for a life insurance or endowment policy)
- Division of business property
- Maintenance (periodic) payments for the spouse and any children
- Lump sum payments
- Conclusion of joint accounts
- Option for the parties to agree to petition for a divorce after two years separation
- Child maintenance arrangements
- Parental rights arrangements

Professor wins $10,000 prize March 5, 2012
Anne Pearce, M.F.A., has 10,000 new reasons to celebrate.
Recently, the assistant professor of art at Rockhurst University and director of the Greenlease Gallery, found out she was one of three winners for this year's Charlotte Street Foundation's annual visual artist award, which comes with prestige and a $10,000 prize.
"Winning this is a huge honor," Pearce said. "I was really happy for my work to be seen by the external jurors. In terms of exposure, the opportunity to have my work seen by members of the local and national art community was really important to me."
Pearce, who has had a selection of work currently on display at the Bertrand Delacroix Gallery in New York, said this was the first year that she had decided to enter her work into the competition. She submitted 10 pieces from her "Passport: Double Portraits" series. Pearce describe the series as a series of portraits of people that she knows that tries to capture their public and private personalities.
After the field of potential candidates was narrowed down to 10, a group of panelists came to do a studio visit on Feb. 20. She was teaching a class when David Hughes, the foundation's director, called telling her she had won.
Pearce wants to use this award to further her craft and expanding a new large-scale series of paintings she is working on.
"That money will most likely go toward supporting my practice," she said.
But despite this newly found recognition and prestige, Pearce said she doesn't have any plans to move away from working with students at Rockhurst.
"I just love teaching," she said. "I really love it."
In May, Pearce will be exhibiting her work in galleries in Kansas City and in Cuba.

text: Message-ID: <EBEB814746D2D21189840090273F4ADD0827D5@cbt> From: Martin Spamer <firstname.lastname@example.com> To: firstname.lastname@example.com Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1999 13:06:35 +0100 Subject: DNS and some of my ideas Overall I prefer the DNS style scheme. However I believe that a tv: scheme should be as inclusive as possible and therefore should also support both the channel number and encompass the ITU callsign style scheme. I believe this would allow this scheme to be used on both closed and open networks. e.g. tv:<channel no> or tv:<broadcaster> or tv:<network> or tv:<callsign> or tv:<callsign>.itu or tv:<callsign>.itu.org i.e. tv:999 or tv:bbc.co.uk or tv:one.bbc.co.uk or tv:1.bbc.co.uk or tv:kqed or tv:kqed.itu or tv:kqed.itu.org I also feel consideration needs to be given to content centric URL's particularly for On-Demand content such as VOD. I believe a key issue is should this be tied into the service provider or the content, consistency probably means being tied in to a DNS for the service provider. Flexibility & extensibility probably requires allowing for both, with some additional 'virtual' domain extensions for content. If we use a content centric scheme we should also include language/country versions to be addressed. Below are a few ideas on how this would be achieved using the following notation: <description> description of element. {option} an optional item. <one>|<other> select either or other. e.g. tv:<service name>/<content name>/{<season|series>/}<episode> or tv:<title>.<programme|show>.film{.<country>} or tv:<episode name> | <episode number>.<programme|show>.show{.<country>} i.e. tv:vod.net/south park/the movie/ tv:vod.net/south park/103/ tv:vod.net/south park/volcano/ or tv:the-movie.southpark.film default language/country version of original content. tv:the-movie.southpark.film.jp Japanese language version. tv:the-movie.southpark.film.de German language version. or tv:103.southpark.show tv:volcano.southpark.show I also have a question for those with a better understanding signal encoding than I have: Q) Do we need to consider the format of the content streams, so for example, if my consuming device takes a mpeg encoded PAL content stream, It would only be valid to connect to PAL sources. Therefore should the prefix be content format specific: e.g. MPEG: PAL: NTSC: SECAM: i.e. MPEG:the-movie.southpark.film PAL:one.bbc.co.uk NTSC:abc.com SECAM:abc.net.au Or do we assume the server know the content format or that client device can translate?

Discussions seem to have stalled again, so I thought maybe I would make an attempt to summarize where I think we might be now in terms of a proposal to take back to the IESG/IETF. Several people expressed discomfort with the use of broadcast call signs of the form KQED. Although these are world unique and standardized by the ITU (I think), they appear to be very uncommon outside the United States. So I would like to propose that we further limit the "tv:" URI to two forms: tv: meaning "current channel" tv:<network> where <network> is a DNS name So some valid "tv:" URIs would be: tv: [of course] tv:abc.com American Broadcasting Company tv:abc.net.au Australian Broadcast Corporation tv:kron.com KRON in San Francisco tv:channel4.com Channel 4 in the UK tv:west.hbo.com HBO West tv:one.bbc.co.uk BBC1 As I think we've discussed, the rule is that if you own the domain, you can register names using that domain. So HBO can register "west.hbo.com" as their official name for their West Coast feed, and BBC can register "one.bbc.co.uk" or "1.bbc.co.uk" or whatever they want for BBC1. I think this is a reasonably final proposal. It basically collapses all the other forms into the DNS namespace, and moves any dispute over names to disputes over DNS. (Of course, DNS disputes aren't easy to resolve, but at least if we ever get a good mechanism there it will automatically be applied to "tv:" URIs too.) I'm ready to do another revision to the Internet-Draft based on this approach, but I thought I'd make another check for comments first. Perhaps we can try to have a new draft next week and get it to the IESG.

The number of Italian beaches to be given the prestigious Blue Flag award for clean water and pristine sands has increased again this year, the international Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) said on Tuesday.
In 2014, Italy can boast some 269 Blue Flag beaches in a total of 140 municipalities nationwide, compared to the 248 beaches in 135 municipalities recorded last year. Liguria in northwest Italy retained its title as the region with the cleanest beaches (20, the same as last year), followed by Tuscany with 18 (one more than in 2013) and the central Marche region with 17 (one less than in 2013).
Among Italian islands, Sardinia, known worldwide for its crystalline waters and luxury Emerald Coast resorts, lost a Blue Flag while Sicily gained two, for a total of six Blue Flag beaches each.
Blue Flag looks at sustainable development employing strict criteria on water quality, environmental education and management, safety and services.
Blue Flag has worked with the United Nations' Environment Programme and analysed beaches and marinas worldwide since 1987 to monitor quality and cleanliness.

Rumor Roundup: Blues may be looking for boost through trade
Rumor Roundup: Blues may be looking for boost through trade
After some recent struggles, there's a possibility the Blues could shake up their lineup. Rumors suggest that one of either T.J. Oshie or Patrik Berglund could be on the move if St. Louis can find the right deal. Elsewhere, the Flames could be forced to make a move as the team gets healthier.
The St. Louis Blues began this season considered among the Stanley Cup contenders, but of late they've been plagued by inconsistency. Entering this week, they won only four of their last ten games. The production of veteran scorers David Backes, Alex Steen, and T.J. Oshie is down from last season Goaltenders Jake Allen and Martin Brodeur struggled at times during that stretch.
Though the Blues began the week among the top-four teams in the Western Conference, their recent stumbles added fuel to the speculation a shake-up via trade could be coming. They've been linked to the Boston Bruins for several weeks, with Oshie and Patrik Berglund often mentioned as potential trade candidates.
The Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch doubts the Blues will part with Oshie, who has two years remaining on his contract at an annual cap hit of $4.5 million. Garrioch suggests, however, Berglund could still be available. Like Oshie, the 26-year-old Berglund has two years left on his contract, though at a more affordable $3.7-million annually.
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman believes the Blues must soon make a decision about their goaltending. Brian Elliott's recent return has them carrying three netminders. Brodeur, signed as a short-term replacement when Elliott was sidelined, is the likely candidate to be moved.
Despite the ongoing rumors swirling about the Blues, GM Doug Armstrong doesn't seem in a hurry to make a trade. Armstrong told Jeremy P. Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he might get involved in the trade market at some point, but deals are unlikely because there are very few "hockey trades" anymore where two clubs are willing to assume a degree of risk.
Given the Blues current position in the standings, Armstrong can afford to be patient. With the NHL trade deadline now less than two months away, the trade market should improve as more non-playoff contenders go into sell mode.
Much will depend, of course, upon the Blues' performance in the coming weeks. If they snap out of their recent funk and regain their consistency, Armstrong could be in the market for a rental player to bolster his club's chances for a championship. However, if their struggles persist through January and they slide down the standings, he could be forced to consider more drastic measures.
The Calgary Flames lineup is about to get healthier, as center Mikael Backlund (abdominal injury) and defenseman Ladislav Smid (upper body) are set to return to action very soon. That will force to Flames to make some roster changes.
The Calgary Herald's Kristen Odland notes there's a risk of upsetting team chemistry as the injured players return. Coach Bob Hartley acknowledged this but said it's something the players will have to deal with.
Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun speculates little-used enforcer Brian McGrattan and blueliner Corey Potter could become the odd men out. One or both could be peddled via trade, though it's more likely they'll end up on waivers and demoted to the minors if they clear.
McGrattan could interest teams seeking toughness on their checking lines. Potter is a right-handed shot and could attract attention from teams in need of blueline depth.

Hanke convicted and sentenced [3]
Police say a Beaumont man charged with sexual assault of a child was caught in the act by his common law wife.
According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Examiner, officers responded to a home in Beaumont's North End in reference to a victim of an aggravated sexual assault.
When they arrived, police said they were met by the young victim's mother, who told officers "she had found her common law husband on top of her naked 9-year-old daughter."
When the mother walked in, the affidavit said Stevie Blaschke Hanke, 40, quickly put his hand over his crotch and tucked his genitals back into his shorts.
A sexual assault nurse interviewed the young victim, who told the nurse Hanke "had put his mouth on her genitals, and rubbed her genitals with his genitals," the affidavit said.
The 9-year-old also gave a statement on video at the Garth House where she described Hanke's alleged sexual acts.
Hanke was indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury May 3, 2012, on a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child, a first-degree felony. He was arrested May 10, 2012, and is currently in the Jefferson County Jail on a $150,000 bond. He is set to appear for trial Feb. 10 in Judge Lindsey Scott's 252nd Criminal District Court.

TWO members of the public helped to rescue a canoeist who had got into difficulty off Worthing this afternoon.
Ambulance crews treated the man at the water's edge after he got into difficulties near Grand Avenue, then carried him up to the promenade.
Solent Coastguard said two members of the public had helped to rescue the man after hearing his cries for help.
"He got himself capsized and was unable to right the canoe," said a coastguard spokesman.
"He was struggling to get it back the right way up and was shouting for help. He kept going under water and had taken in large quantities of water and become exhausted.
"Two people went into the water to assist. They were waist-deep in the water and helped to drag the canoe back to the beach."
Earlier on, Sussex Police told the Worthing Herald the man had managed to get himself back into the canoe.
"He had become tired while out paddling in his canoe," said the police spokesman.
The canoeist was taken to Worthing Hospital for a check-up but it was not believed he was seriously affected by the incident.

Mark van Bommel is certain that Arjen Robben's penalty miss in Saturday's Champions League final loss to Chelsea will not affect the winger's confidence ahead of Euro 2012.
Robben's attempt from 12 yards in the fifth minute of extra time was kept out by Petr Cech, and the Premier League giants eventually came out victorious 4-3 on penalties after the game ended in a 1-1 stalemate.
Nevertheless, Van Bommel believes that Robben has the mental strength to leave Saturday's disappointment behind him.
"Arjen has now lost two Champions League finals and the World Cup final. It's a huge blow that he has lost another final. However, he is very strong mentally and will bounce back from this," Van Bommel stated to De Telegraaf.
"Don't forget that he's a real fighter. Arjen has had to deal with a number of injuries, but always fought back and returned to his usual best. He'll get over this disappointment as well."
Meanwhile, Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk has admitted that Robben was feeling dejected after the defeat to Chelsea.
"I briefly spoke to him and he's really down at the moment. That's only logical, though, after missing a penalty."
Robben is expected to take part in Tuesday's friendly game between Netherlands and Bayern Munich.

Last week I posted on the publication of three papers in Nature describing whole-genome sequencing using next-generation technology: one African genome, one Asian genome, and two genomes from a female cancer patient (one from her cancer cells and one from healthy skin tissue). At the end of that post I noted that the era of the single-genome publication is drawing to a close as the age of population genomics commences.
Today GenomeWeb News reports from the American Society of Human Genetics meeting on the biggest current foray into the field of population genomics: the 1000 Genomes Project. The project aims to sequence somewhere between 1,200 and 1,500 whole genomes at low coverage (sequencing each base an average of 2 to 4 times), providing a powerful catalogue of human genetic variation extending down into the variants below 1% in frequency.
At ASHG, David Altshuler announced the near-completion of three pilot projects for the 1KG project and the generation thus far of 3.8 terabases (that's 3.8 million million bases) of sequence data. Over the last two months, according to GenomeWeb News, "the team deposited as much data each week as was present in GenBank when the effort began". That's a mind-boggling amount of data, and an indicator of the staggering volumes of data still to come: in 2009 the project is expected to generate about 250 times that volume of sequence.
The hard part of human genomics – linking sequence variation to disease risk and other traits – is still to come, but the 1KG project (as Brendan Maher calls it) will pave the way for these difficult experiments, both by creating a map of human genetic variation and by driving the development of the tools required for large-scale human genome sequencing. Exciting times…

Yes, as long as a mutable copy is available to developers and end users, because it widens the audience who will see free software and may become interested in its development and advancement. I think saying no would be arguing against porting free software to Microsoft Windows, which is a platform designed to deprive both developers and end users of freedom when it increases revenue for Microsoft - see the current moves that lock out third-party security software, for example, or the DRM features, or product activation keys. However, free software on Microsoft Windows is many (most?) users' introduction to free software. TPM-bans are a sort of digital Iron Curtain - these platforms may have this free software; those ones may not. It's tactically stupid too - the population on "our" side of the Iron Curtain is not yet sufficiently compelling to deter more neutral platforms from joining the other side. I prefer allowing "our" population to cross the border and plunder as much as the authorities on the closed side permit - that includes letting any subsidised TPM-platforms to play TPM-subverted content. It's not just economies of scale that makes an iSuck player cheaper than an Ogg one: if your player doesn't iSuck, the iSuck platform owner can never make money from you. > If a gaming platform requires FooBigCo to sign software before it > runs, exercising freedom as in Free Software on that platform is de > facto prevented on a desert island. Depends if the FooBigCo platform is the only platform on the island, but discussing desert islands too much usually brings a d'Itri-flame. > However, if an iSuck player only > played TPM files but anyone could convert non-TPM files to TPM files > privately, requiring distribution to happen in a non-TPM format and > requiring iSuck owners to apply TPM themselves wouldn't be any more > onerous than the GPL allowing certain action only in private. Indeed. Sadly, CC's anti-TPM language may(*) prohibit iSuck owners applying TPM themselves, as the copy would violate the licence and the anti-TPM measure is not limited to distribution. (* - it's not entirely clear to me, due to the recent comments and refusal to explain.) > I find it strange that Debian is so vigorously defending this fringe > use case. Why? Many debian developers want to copy all sorts of things to all sorts of media in all sorts of ways. > The anti-TPM language is designed to limit the freedom of a > middle man so that the middle-man isn't allowed to limit downstream > freedom. GPL is precedent that it can be free in the DFSG sense to > limit the freedom of middle-men so that they aren't allowed to limit > downstream freedom. One could only appeal to the GPL precedent if the anti-TPM language allowed parallel distribution, else it is also limiting the freedom of the end user to get the TPM-encoding service from a middle-man if they choose. It is obviously possible to let users get TPM-encoding from a middle-man without letting them give up their freedom, just as you can get GPL'd binaries from someone else. > Since the CC licenses don't require distribution of the preferred > form for making modification aka. source code, it is essential that > downstream recipient can extract works for modification and > redistribution without violating any law that protects TPM. I think > that it makes sense for CC licenses to have anti-TPM language and I > don't think that anti-TPM language should make a license non-free. Should we accept as free software a program under a licence which does not allow licensees to distribute compiled files? The correct way to fix this is for CC to require source code, not prohibit compiled code. > (More on this: http://hsivonen.iki.fi/free-anti-drm/ ) I feel that essay contains lies such as "The entire purpose of DRM [...] is to incarcerate a work and to deprive the recipient of the work of the freedom to do things with the work without contrived technical barriers" and "entangling a work in DRM puts the recipient at the risk of criminal prosecution if he exercises his freedoms otherwise granted by the license". Also, it should be no surprise to anyone that your selection of the arguments against TPM-bans seem like strawmen. I don't like DRM and have spoken against DRM at international events. The anti-DRM argument is strong enough without lies and strawmen.

WWE News: DirecTV Survey States WWE Network Could Air Majority of Pay-Per-ViewsFebruary 10, 2013
If and when the WWE Network finally hits the air, its programming might include a majority of WWE's pay-per-views, according to an Internet report.
PWInsider.com states that DirectTV recently sent a survey to its customers gauging interest in the long-promised WWE Network. The survey notes that the network could carry 11 of the 12 pay-per-view events, with WrestleMania being the only PPV left off the network.
WWEN would be a premium channel, meaning customers would have to pay an extra monthly fee to receive it.
According to the report, the survey also inquired about how often its subscribers order pay-per-view events and whether those subscribers who did not purchase WWEN would still purchase the PPVs that aired on the network. It also wanted to know if viewers who purchased WWEN would also purchase the WrestleMania PPV.
On the topic of purchase price, PWInsider.com reported that DirecTV asked for input on five potential per-month costs should WWEN be offered as a stand-alone channel. Those prices range from $12.99 to $29.99.
According to the report, the survey also asks viewers about programming they would like to see on the network. They were also asked if they thought offering WWEN would increase the overall value of DirecTV.
WWE announced last November that the network would be offered as a premium channel, but it has yet to set a launch date. Originally, WWEN was going to launch around WrestleMania 28, but those plans were scrapped.
Keith Harris of CagesideSeats.com stated that the interest of a major carrier like DirecTV could mean "serious movement" toward a firm launch date for the network. It said the survey results "should mean that Vince McMahon will finally have a big announcement about the WWE Network" when the company holds its fourth-quarter results conference call with stockholders at the end of this month.

NITTEL round-bottom liners
NITTEL round-bottom liners are made up of a pipe-shaped lining part and a round bottom plate. Both parts are welded together using a special method. This technology provides a high level of tear resistance. The accurate fit reduces the formation of creases and pockets, which is often a problem with ordinary flat bags, and allows residual filling product to be removed almost completely.
Application Examples:
- Pails: 5 to 40 litres
- Plastic drums: From 30 to 150 litres
- Steel drums: From 200 to 225 litres
- Open at the top, can be turned down
- Sealable with a clip seal
- Monofoils made of LDPE (antistatic and conductive), HDPE (antistatic and conductive)and Polyamide
- Coextrusion foils (antistatic and conductive)
- Aluminium compound foils
Application Examples:
- NITTEL LDPE round-bottom liners: Ideal for liquid, paste-like material, powder and granulates
- NITTEL polyamide round-bottom liners: Ideal for hot fillings of up to 160 °C and for products with a high solvent content
- NITTEL coextrusion foil round-bottom liners: Ideal for hot fillings of up to 120 °C and for products with solvent content, e.g. lacquers
- NITTEL aluminium compound foil round-bottom liners: Ideal for (reactive) hot-melt adhesives

The British and Irish Lions wing George North has been passed fit for Saturday's first Test against Australia after recovering from his hamstring problem.
North was a doubt for the series opener at Suncorp Stadium after sustaining the injury a week ago, but the assistant coach, Rob Howley, revealed he has fully recovered.
"George came through a fitness test this morning and I've never seen him in better shape. He'll be available and that's a big boost for us," Howley said.
North has been in superb form with his ability to beat defenders making him a key weapon against the Wallabies, and the 21-year-old is set to be named on the left wing at Thursday's team announcement.
"We've looked after him over the last week to 10 days and it's a huge boost to have someone like him available," Howley said. "Over the last 12 months I haven't seen him in better physical shape and that's why we took the decision to get him 100% physically well. I'm sure he's looking forward to playing at the weekend – if selected."
The centre Jamie Roberts and wing Tommy Bowe are almost certain to miss the first Test with respective hamstring and hand problems, but England's Manu Tuilagi could yet feature following a positive update on his shoulder injury.
"Jamie is progressing. He ran today and is unlikely to be fit for the weekend, as is Tommy Bowe," Howley said. "Tommy is more likely to be available for the second Test. Manu is improving every day and the strength is coming back into his shoulder and he will be touch and go."
North's availability has served as a timely lift to the Lions after they slumped to their first defeat of the tour in a 14-12 loss to the Brumbies in Canberra.
It was comfortably their worst performance of the tour so far and Howley insists the Lions' resilience will be determined by how they react to the setback.
"We had a meeting about the game and the nature of a Lions tour is that you must move on. We're bitterly disappointed and will take the hit," he said. "On a Lions tour you talk about the importance of momentum and in the last four or five matches we've had momentum. Now it's about how we react to that game.
"It's important that this team and squad come together and I'm sure that everyone will be behind the 23 selected for Saturday. Absolutely something like this can make you stronger. It gave us a reality check, in particular at the breakdown. We move on and that's the nature of a Lions tour."

Fruitful Yield stores' product mix include foods that are organic, natural, wheat-free, gluten-free, soy-free and dairy-free, in order to serve the special needs of those with dietary restrictions. Staff members have lobbied Congress on industry related issues, including supporting the NNFA's lobbying efforts, and have urged customers to join these efforts. The stores feature public lectures in order to have a voice in the public debate on natural foods and supplements. Fruitful Yield employees are trained by clinical nutritionists on staff and by outside educators.

I'm back home in Mexico now and catching up after being in the US for the past two weeks. My visit was a delight and a smashing success. The final night of the trip, I had a book signing for The Piercing Bible at the Antebellum Gallery in Hollywood. I signed plenty of books, and enjoyed the company of my friends and family. In attendance were several dear friends from high school, my parents, and many more. It was wonderful! If you were there: thanks for coming! If you missed it--I hope to catch you next time.
