ON Semi decides on Sanyo
ON Semiconductor has agreed to buy Sanyo Electric's loss-making semiconductor operation for approximately $366m in cash and stock.
Based on the most recently completed quarter, Sanyo Semiconductor's annualised revenue was approximately $1.2bn and the annualised revenue of the combined entity would be approximately $3.5bn. The operation made a loss of about $80m in the past year, which pushed the parent, which is majority owned by Panasonic, into loss.
ON said it expects the acquisition to be completed before the end of 2010, claiming that Sanyo brings complementary products. The company claimed it could see significant efficiency gains by streamlining manufacturing.
"The pending acquisition of SANYO Semiconductor is another significant step by ON Semiconductor to solidify its position as a premier global supplier of high-performance, energy efficient silicon solutions with increased manufacturing scale and an expanded addressable market," said Keith Jackson, president and CEO of ON. "By combining these two highly complementary businesses, we will be better positioned to capture growth on a global scale. Strategically, this acquisition is expected to provide us with increased access to an important part of the global semiconductor market - the Japanese market, where Sanyo Semiconductor has a more than 50 year operating history, and a longstanding presence at leading electronics manufacturers."
The acquisition will provide ON with a portfolio of microcontrollers and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
"Having completed seven acquisitions, ON Semiconductor has a proven track record of successfully integrating acquired businesses, and realising manufacturing and operational efficiencies," Jackson claimed. "While ON Semiconductor has had a manufacturing and sales presence in Japan for more than a decade, this acquisition is an exciting move on our part to wholeheartedly enter the Japanese market."
Teruo Tabata, president of Sanyo Semiconductor, said: "There will be no change in the strategy as far as technology is concerned, as both companies specialise in analogue technology."
Although the acquisition is subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals, the companies expect the transaction to close before the end of 2010.
Donald Colvin, ON's executive vice president and CFO, said: "Although semiconductor valuations are currently depressed, we believe we have acquired the business for an agreeable price, with negligible dilutive impact to ON Semiconductor in the near term, and do not foresee the need for additional debt financing at this time. Sanyo Semiconductor operates at approximately break-even today. Based on current revenue run rates, our goal is to deliver in excess of $30m in pre-tax income on a quarterly basis from Sanyo Semiconductor approximately 18 months after closing the transaction."

Profiling and Tracking Students in C/PBTE Programs. PBTE Technical Assistance Paper Series: No. 2.
Gallagher, Paul G.; And Others
This collection of three monographs focuses on the development of computerized student and personnel recordkeeping systems. Descriptions of three different computerized systems are presented. The first monograph describes the efforts of the School of Education at Florida International University to overcome problems related to the management of student data generated by a competency based teacher education program. The system provides for the collection, management, and analysis of performance data as students progress through their programs. Components of the system include: (1) a Student Progress Report System; (2) a Red Flag Report System; (3) a Competency Data Analysis System; and (4) a Program of Studies System. The second paper describes an attempt to collect, sort, and utilize student data generated from a compentency based program at the College of Education at Wayne State University. The program includes a complete professional sequence for teacher education students in four vocational curriculum areas. The third monograph provides specific information not only on the tracking and profiling of individual students but also on the control facility, the personnel involved in system management, computer components, information generated, and output data.

First item on the agenda: if you're reading WeeHermione in a feed, I encourage you to take a quick peek over at the home site. I've had quite the redesign (very, very overdue, much like the library books I always have out) and want to preen a little. Thanks, Kelsey!
In addition to changing the face of the blog, it's been a bit of a crazy two and a half weeks around here as far as life is concerned. We managed to land the unicorn of all Craigslist unicorns -- a HUGEGANTIC house in a good area that allows two herding dogs, has a washer, dryer, dishwasher, fenced backyard, and an abundance of bees.
Soon though. Let me just say that there's a second bedroom that's yellow and came with a tiny closet full of tiny baby-sized hangers, so I feel like this place couldn't have found anyone better than us to take up residence in this little nest. Unless we were actual bees.
Oh right, the bees I mentioned. There *are* a lot of bees. I'm beginning to wonder if we got this place at such a surprising rental price (I feel like we're the riff-raff moving into this neighborhood, and that is not at all hyperbole there) because people died from bee allergies or something. It's like, oh, hello three bees buzzing about my windowpane! I'm honestly worried there's a hive in the woodwork somewhere. Or else someone's doing some urban beekeeping, which would be all well and good if they had more space in which to do it? I'll be the first to say I've got a keen interest in beekeeping so bees don't scare me or anything like that, thank goodness. I've got a legitimate interest in the practice. Buuuuuut, the fact that they're in my house is what's a bit more concerning. I've always assumed that urban beekeeping wouldn't really bother neighbors because it's not like the bees are hanging out *right there* all day, right? If anybody has any natural remedies for bee-exorcism I'm all ears.
Speaking of bees, my new job (I'm an assistant branch manager now) is the bee's knees. I've spent a good deal of time getting to research programming ideas like maker projects. Libraries are super into makerspaces at the moment. They're really a very logical extension from the idea that libraries are storehouses of knowledge and information. Creating a "maker" culture is simply extending the knowledge into doing. So, in addition to having books on weaving, we could incorporate a weaving activity (a fairly low-tech example). We have a 3D printer and robotics, too, on the higher-tech end of the maker spectrum.
Lots of crafts out there can really be tooled into maker projects the foster engineering and critical thinking skills. So many kids-craft sites out there just throw down a template and that's basically the craft: cutting out the template, gluing stuff on other stuff. Maker projects have the distinction of building a skill-set, or working to solve a problem, or invent a way of doing something. One project I found involved giving kids some straws, Lifesavers, pieces of paper and various ephemera, and asking them to build cars whatever way they want (ie, no template), which they would then race by blowing them across the floor. Or there are projects like Rube Goldberg machines. I love the idea of fostering creativity in crafts by pushing kids (and adults, since makerspace culture can be adult-friendly too) to think a bit and solve a problem with their craft activity, instead of just sticking some googly eyes and glitter on something and calling it a day. The fact that I get paid in part to think about this stuff and help put it into action still makes me happy at the end of the day.
Also, apparently I'm having a baby in

Sweeping the floors, open up the doors; turn on the lights, get ready for the night. Nobody's romancing cause it's too early for dancing, but here comes the music. Bright lights flashing to cover up you; like so many people, so many problem, so many reasons to buy another round, drink it down; just another night on the town. With the big man, money man, better than the other man; he got the plan with the million-dollar, give a damn; when nobody understand, he'll become a smaller man. The bright lights keep flashing and the women keep dancing with the clowns; Pick me up when I'm down. Rodeo clowns, they pick me up when I'm down. The disco ball's spinning, all the music and the women and the shots of tequila, man, they'll say that they need ya; what they really need, is just a little room to breathe. A teeny-bopping disco queen, she barely understands; her dreams are belly-button rings and other kinds of things, symbolic of change, but the thing that is strange is the change has occurred..
JAJAJA, las payasas del French ♥. Las quiero mucho !

The Brazilian stunner has been collecting the vintage toys for years and now has around 60, worth thousands.
The Victoria's Secret Angel admits some of the dolls she has picked up on her travels date back to the early 1960s.
Alessandra used to get embarrassed by her obsession, but she now pretends the dolls are for her seven-year-old daughter, Anja.
She tells FemaleFirst.co.uk, "(I love Barbies), including antique ones from the '50s. I have about 60, although I can now claim I buy them for my daughter!"

What is Homeopathy?
A therapeutic system founded by the German doctor Samuel Christian F.Hahnemann, Meissen, Germany 1755 – Paris, 1843. In 1790, Samuel Hahnemann observed that the plant Cinchona, containing quinine, administered in high dosage to a healthy individual, provoked an intermittent fever, and that this same remedy, taken in infinitesimal dosages, cured this symptom in an individual suffering from the same type of fever. He proved this principle on himself and other healthy individuals. This accidental experience laid down the stepping-stone of Homeopathy.
The law of Similar
Homeopathy is a system of medicine founded on a definite law 'Similia similibus curantur' which means' like cures like'. The word Homeopathy is a Greek deviation where HOMOEO = similar and PATHOS = disease.
According to this principle homeopathy remedy when administrated to a healthy person will produce a set of symptoms. When this homeopathy remedy is administered to an individual with the same or similar set of symptoms, in a diseased state, it will cure by boosting the body's natural responses.
The law of Individualization
In Allopathy or modern medicine two persons suffering from the same disease is usually treated using the same medicine. However, a Homeopathic physician does not label a patient by the disease condition but considers a prescription based on the totality of both the mental and physical characteristics of the patient. Thus every case is different and needs an individualistic prescription.

Sarah Kmieciak-Thorpe
"Mother of 2 pre-school boys and wife to a military man, I have moved around the UK quite a lot but am enjoying being here in Berkshire.
In my spare time, I sing, run and bake, not typically at the same time. I sing with the Military Wives Choir at Benson which I thoroughly enjoy and we perform at local events in our area. I have conquered 5 marathons, amongst other running challenges, raising money for RAF Benevolent Fund and other charities close to our hearts.
And when not singing or running I like to bake at home to relax, bringing in my creations to work when my boys haven't devoured them at home."
Post-education, Sarah worked with HSBC as a Personal Banking Officer for 3 years.
This was followed by a complete break from the financial world, when Sarah took a job with a small luxury hotel in Scotland. However, reception work started to give way to helping with the accounts. The beginning of the slippery slope, as she particularly enjoyed this.
A move to Lincolnshire with the military meant a new job, this time with an accountancy practice for 2 years. During this time, Sarah achieved AAT level 3. The firm worked primarily with Public Houses, offering an interesting experience.
Sarah then moved to an accounting firm in Summertown, Oxford, where she spent 6 years and progressed through ACCA. Before joining Starfish Accounting, Sarah also worked with an accounting firm in Henley.
In these last 2 jobs, Sarah spent much of her time working on VAT, business and charity accounts, giving her an excellent grounding.
Sarah joined Starfish in February 2017.
"Helping people, particularly in understanding the sometimes complex or confusing world of accounting, is one of my motivations.
At Starfish Accounting, this is our style and I also really appreciate the group mentality of being available and accessible to our clients. This builds a very special relationship with them.
I returned to work after each of my sons were born as I love having the identity of being at work and having a role other than just the greatest role of being Mum."

Figuring Out The Newsroom
That's what John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) asks his CO (Richard Crenna) at the beginning of 1985's Rambo: First Blood, Part II after being given a covert mission into Vietnam. That line was later re-purposed by Ronald Reagan, and it ended up becoming something of a rallying cry for those who were hoping to re-litigate the mistakes of that war (which was still relatively recent at the time) with the benefit of hindsight now guiding them.
"Oh, if only we'd listened to the military." "Oh, if only we'd gotten out of the way of guys like Rambo and let them do their job." It's easy to forget what a dominant pop culture force Rambo was for a brief moment in the mid-'80s (remember this?), and either as a result of that or perhaps completely unintentionally, John Rambo morphed into a sort of messianic figure for some folks on the right -- the iconic stand-in for all that they wished they could be and do.
I bring that up because I happened to catch the early moments of Rambo II on TV yesterday, just as I was queuing up the third episode of The Newsroom on my DVR. And seeing the two in such close proximity got some neurons firing in my brain that helped me finally figure out what's going on with creator Aaron Sorkin's wildy-divisive new HBO skein (which I happen to like, but a whole lot of very smart people whose opinions I respect don't).

I agree with you, but...aren't the characters in The Newsroom then doomed to fail? The show will presumably always be set in the recent past. Which means that none of Will's monologues or tough questions will ever change the outcome of anything. The Tea Party will still win. The debt ceiling will still turn into a debacle. And on and on. Sorkin thinks he's made a show about how one small voice can change the world--but the very structure of how show ensures that the actual message will be the opposite.
Fortunately I doubt he cares very much as long as he eventually gets to pair off Jim and Maggie.

It may well be a Quixotic quest for the characters, but I think for Sorkin it's more about winning the moral argument. The "I told you so" after the fact.
IN Brasil Rambo is a
children hero !

Richard's comment makes me think of some works of literature that are similar. I've been wondering the same thing about the show, but then I thought about Arthur Miller and Mark Twain. Miller used the Salem Witch Trials to comment on McCarthyism/Red Scare. Twain published Huck Finn about thirty years after slavery ended, so it seems stupid unless you argue (as some critics and I do) that it's more a criticism about failing Reconstruction and the aftermath of slavery. So maybe Sorkin can or is doing that using news that's just a little bit in the past? Or am I giving him too much credit?
- Zaki said...
That's another interesting read on Sorkin's intent. I certainly don't rule anything out!

The Blue Ridge Parkway, called "America's Favorite Drive," is a U.S. National Parkway that winds 469 miles through Virginia and North Carolina, connecting Shenandoah National Park on its northern end and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on its southern end. It is a long, slow, and beautiful drive, famous for long-range vistas and close-up views of the rugged mountains and pastoral landscapes of the Appalachian Highlands. I can't imagine a better drive than experiencing the fall colors and the captivating landscape of the Blue Ridge Parkway. You can visit my photo gallery to enjoy some of my select images. You can view a map in PDF format of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
If you enjoy beautiful landscapes, traveling, nature photography, then subscribe to the world's best newsletter for the Great Smoky Mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway and start receiving insider tips and behind the scenes updates today.
I like to start at the southern end of the parkway in Cherokee North Carolina because I am already in the Smokies and it makes it very easy to start the journey there. I stop and visit the Oconaluftee Visitor Center as I exit the park and then start making my way northeast on the Blue Ridge Parkway until I get to the Humpback Rocks Visitor Center (Waynesboro Virginia). I then proceed just a little further to the Shenandoah National Park and take Skyline Drive to round out my experience. If I am not pressed for time, I visit the area for a day or two and then I reverse my route heading south and ending up in the Smokies again. It is amazing how many different things you can see just be driving the other direction.
The Blue Ridge Parkway tunnels were constructed through the rock—one in Virginia and twenty-five in North Carolina. Sections of the parkway near the tunnels are often closed in winter. (Due to dripping groundwater from above, freezing temperatures, and the lack of sunlight, ice often accumulates inside these areas even when the surrounding areas are above freezing.)
The highest point on the parkway (south of Waynesville, near Mount Pisgah in North Carolina) is 6053 feet or 1845 m above sea level (AMSL) on Richland Balsam Mountain at Milepost 431, and is often closed from November to April due to inclement weather such as snow, fog, and even freezing fog from low clouds. The parkway is carried across streams, railway ravines and cross roads by 168 bridges and six viaducts.
The parkway runs from the southern terminus of Shenandoah National Park's Skyline Drive in Virginia at Rockfish Gap to U.S. Route 441 at Oconaluftee in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Cherokee, North Carolina. There is no fee for using the parkway; however, commercial vehicles are prohibited without approval from the Park Service Headquarters, near Asheville, North Carolina.
The roadway is not maintained in the winter, and sections which pass over especially high elevations and through tunnels are often impassable and therefore closed from late fall through early spring. Weather is extremely variable in the mountains, so conditions and closures often change rapidly. The speed limit is never higher than 45 mph (72 km/h) and slower in some sections.
The parkway uses short side roads to connect to other highways, and there are no direct interchanges with Interstate Highways (though current plans for Interstate 73 take it along current US 220 at its parkway interchange), making it possible to enjoy wildlife and other scenery without stopping for cross-traffic.
Mileposts along the parkway start at zero at the northeast end in Virginia and count to 469 at the southern end in North Carolina. The mileposts can be found on the right-hand side of the road while traveling southbound on the parkway. Major towns and cities along the way include Waynesboro, Roanoke, and Galax in Virginia; and in North Carolina, Boone and Asheville, where it runs across the property of the Biltmore Estate.

Sept 11 VIDEO DOES NOT LIE
How much are you willing to invest in your role as a coach? For many years in clinic settings, I have challenged coaches with that question. When the topic was related to assessing player and team performance, my position has been clear for a long time – reach into your pocket if that is what it takes. I don't believe a coach can afford not to know with certainty what happened in the last match. Video takes care of that. Years ago, we were using some form of a camcorder. Hopefully, our program had our own video equipment, but if we didn't, then that became the first item on our fundraising agenda. I learned long ago that an investment in 1) video equipment and 2) my time and time delegated to assistant coaches, allowed our staff to walk into the gym the day after a match, and provide an accurate assessment of the team's performance.
Sure, we were keeping statistics during the match, and we were utilizing them to make adjustments, but often those statistics were not 100% accurate. Taking the time to watch matches back and charting all the statistics, allowed us to have solid public relations stats (in other words, to produce a box score for our Sports Information office). Equally, if not more important, and part of my challenge to coaches reading this – it allowed me to establish a part of our program culture at the beginning of practices following matches. Using the Socratic Method as we gathered around the white board at the beginning of practice, I would often ask our players open ended questions about our recent performance. "In our four sets last night, in which set did we have our lowest attack percentage?" "Which server for our opponent had the most effective serve rating?" "How did we do with our performance objectives?" These were the types of questions that had meaning in our program, because during practices we had a competitive environment where we were tracking statistics like this and reporting them.
Our players understood the difference between attack percentage (kills minus errors divided by total attacks) and first swing kill percentage. Our players had the effectiveness of their passes on serve reception rated on a scale of 0 to 3, and we often used a reverse scale for their serve by rating the opponent's serve reception effectiveness. Our players went into every match with reminders of our particular performance objectives which typically included our target goal for kill/error ratio for each set; a team pass rating goal for each set; a serve ace to error ratio for each set; and a defensive percentage objective for each set.
The key to all of this was Video.
So, when I heard coaches at clinics tell me they did not have staff to take statistics – my response was, 'how much are you willing to invest in your role as a coach"? In other words "find a way to get your matches on tape". Add to that recipe, your investment in whatever time it takes to watch each set and accurately create statistical information, and now you are in a much stronger position to effectively assess performance.
OK, fall of 2014 Coaches: Your team has already played some matches, so you have already established a pattern with your team this season related to the use of video, and statistical analysis. Take a minute and think about what that pattern is? Think about the volleyball IQ of your players. To what degree are you challenging their thinking? Do you use performance objectives? Are you sure that the statistics you are sharing with your team are accurate?
Our program culture included the use of computer statistics/video technology – thanks in large part to the work of our assistant coaches. What was the result? Eventually, if we had a two hour bus ride home on a Tuesday night, I could call the setter up before the trip was over to sit with the coaches. We could click a few buttons and let her watch the 26 sets she gave to one of our middles during the match that night. She could go home having already looked at her technique, along with the consistency or lack of consistency with the location of sets. The commitment to get the funding needed, and to train staff to utilize the technology, enhanced the quality of the athlete's experience.
I'll finish this week with a comment on TIVO. Looking back over 30 years of coaching, would I do things differently? YES! I would have purchased a TIVO system the first time I heard about it. In the last few years of my coaching, we added this to our practice culture. We had our live practices being videotaped on TIVO with a 30 second delay. We used the TIVO in many ways. Often a coach would work with positional players where they were performing for 20 to 30 seconds, and then they could rotate to the TIVO and immediately watch it back with a coach and get specific skill feedback.
We gave permission for any players who rotated out of 6 vs 6 activities to go right to the TIVO system and play back two or three minutes to watch their performance or ask an assistant coach to review it with them. We often stopped practice and took the whole team over to watch the last few minutes of practice, and you can imagine the mileage we got out of that. My favorite memory was about "catching someone doing it right". I brought the team over when a long rally ended and said, "Watch Itza for this whole rally". She was a perfect model of a defensive specialist "effectively playing" when she was not touching the ball. Her movement from base to defense to coverage during our transition offense was amazing. She stayed low all the time. Her movement was efficient and purposeful. These were keys we had emphasized, and the video made her shine in front of everyone.
What do you need today to be a more effective coach in this area? An iPad and available "apps" out there would be a great start.

LINE FOLLOWER is a machine that can follow a path. The path can be visible like a black line on white surface (or vice versa) or it can be invisible like a magnetic field.
In baseball, batting is the act of facing the opposing pitcher and trying to produce offense for one's team. A batter or hitter is a person whose turn it is to face the pitcher. The three main goals of batters are to become a base runner, drive runners home, or advance runners along the bases for others to drive home, but the techniques and strategies they use to do so vary. Hitting uses a motion that is virtually unique to baseball, one that is rarely used in other sports. Hitting is unique because unlike most sports movements in the vertical plane of movement hitting involves rotating in the horizontal plane.

Prior to entering 95 Express at any of the designated entrances, drivers will see an overhead toll amount sign displaying one or more destinations and showing the cost to drive to those destinations.
The overhead toll amount signs provide drivers with information that allows them to choose to enter the express lanes or to stay in the un-tolled general use lanes.
Once in the express lanes, drivers will pass through established toll points that read their SunPass® transponder.
Drivers will not pay more than the amount that is posted on the electronic pricing sign at the time of entry.
If you decide to exit the express lanes at the first exit point, the SunPass® system will charge the toll amount from the entry point to that first exit.
Should you decide to remain in the express lanes and exit further along the system, electronic tolling equipment will read your SunPass transponder at each additional toll point and you will be charged for your entire trip, beginning where you enter and ending where you exit the system. Your SunPass statement will itemize your trip based on the number of toll points you pass through during your trip.

Standards for Oil Palm Fibre
The oil palm industry in Malaysia started 80 years ago in a modest way. Today it is the largest in agricultural plantation sector, exceeding rubber plantation by more than double in area planted.
In terms of hectare, the total area under oil palm cultivation is over 2.65 million hectares, producing over 8 million tonnes of oil annually. The oil consists of only 10% of the total biomes produced in the plantation. The remainder consists of huge amount of lignocellulosic materials such as oil palm fronds, trunks and empty fruit bunches. The projection figures of these residues are as follows:
* These figures depend on the life span of oil palm tree that is due for replanting after about 20-25 years old. Extracted from the paper entitled Fibre processing technology fractionation promss to produce fibrous strands from oil palm residues, by Mahmudin
Saleh and Puad Elham
Based on the above figures, Malaysia therefore has a great potential in turning its abundant supply of oil palm industry by-products into value-added products.
Under the present scenario, Malaysia can no longer remain idle and complacent in its position as the top grower and supplier of palm oil. In view of the escalating challenge posed by the other oil producing countries, Malaysia has to change its objective of being a world producer of palm oil to amongst others a leader in converting biomass waste into value-added products. Malaysia has therefore to seriously resort in aggressive R&D to support its ambition.
Before we embarked into identifying the parameters effecting the overall quality of the fibre, let us turn to look into the current utilisation of these fibres. Recent report shows that the mesocarp fibre and shell are used as boiler to produce steam and to generate power. Whereas, empty fruit bunches are mainly incinerated to produce bunch ash to be distributed back to the field as fertiliser.
The conventional method of burning these residues often create environmental problems in that it generates severe air pollution and is prohibited by the Environment Protection Act. In abiding by the regulations, these residues are becoming expensive to dispose. Nevertheless, looking on the brighter side of things, extensive research has provided us with an alternative way of optimising the usage of oil palm residues fibrebased into value-added product.
SIRIM Berhad in its effort to provide technical support through its standardisation activities has established a working group and put to task the preparation of a Malaysian Standard on the oil palm fibre. Through the concerted effort of the working group members comprising academicians, research institutions, manufacturers and related associations, the development of a Malaysian Standard was carried out. References were made against existing production technologies in Oil Palm Fibre the oil palm industry, research papers and literatures related to the subject matter and the following foreign references:
The empty fruit bunch fibre (EFB) was identified as the first of the series of standards on oil palm fibres because of logistic reasons. The EFB has the highest fibre yield and is the only material commercially utilised for fibre extraction but there are good potentials for the exploitation of the other two materials (oil palm fronds and trunks).
The standard is unique in that it is an indigenous standard and is the first in the world that directly relates to the oil palm residues. Extensive study and research had been conducted both by FRIM and PORIM in collaboration with the manufacturers. After several meetings and discussions, the committee had identified critical parameters affecting the quality of the end product. The critical characteristics of oil palm fibre include the fibre length, moisture content, oil content and impurities. Details on the acceptable limits and methods of determination are given in the standard, MS 1408 :1997 (P) - Specification for oil palm empty fruit bunch fibre.
For the purpose of commercialisation, the standard recommends ONE grade of empty fruit bunch fibre (EFB). In quantifying the percentage proportion of fibre length, the standard has established the following numerical values:
The method of determining the proportion by mass of the different EFB fibre length is described in Appendix B of the standard. The right mixture of fibre length is important for the aesthetic finished. Apart from dimensions of fibre length, the standard also defines specific terminology frequently encountered in the standard.
In order to ascertain that samples are representative of the lot and that bales are randomly selected, the provision of a sampling procedure is being prescribed in the standard.
Inherent characteristics such as high moisture content will have a detrimental effect on the oil palm residues. Degradation and infection will easily take place thus leading to deterioration in the properties of the fibres. To prevent this from happening, a maximum moisture content of 15% (on wet basis) was set. This value is comparable to the moisture content for all wood-based fibres.
In addition, the standard has also identified impurities as a critical element in producing high quality fibres. Impurities by definition means the calyxes, spikes, aggregates or fibre strands, any dust or fine particles and parenchyma of EFB. Since it is practically impossible to have fibre free impurities, the maximum level of impurities allowed for in the standard is at 15% . Nevertheless with future improvement in the process technologies, this limit could be further reduced.
The final EFB fibre characteristics that merits attention is the oil content of the fibre. The presence of a significant percentage of residual oil possess a major problem in that it will react with the moisture content hence giving rise to rancidity and ultimately fungal growth. The control limit for oil content shall not exceed 3%.
Other inherent characteristics such as the salt content, odour, mass, etc. were taken into consideration during the process of formulating the standard. Since these parameters do not affect the overall quality of the EFB fibre significantly, it was therefore excluded from the general requirements of the standard.
Standardisation only provides one of the means necessary to assist manufacturers in producing quality fibre for downstream uses. Manufacturers and the like should further spear-head investigations in improving existing technologies through aggressive R&D. Considering the abundance of residual fibres available for commercial exploitation, its market potential and business opportunities, and not withstanding the slow depletion of rubber-wood, is a challenge worth considering.

Apple App Store promo sees top titles given away
Apple has quietly discounted a number of high-profile iOS apps, making titlesInfinity Blade II and Tiny Wings free in what appears to be a promotion for the the 5th anniversary of the App Store. There's currently no official wordApple on the sale, nor indeed a conclusive list of which titles have had their prices cut, but there are some big savings to be made: Traktor DJ, for instance, is usually a $19.99 download for the iPad version.
The current list of titles includes everythingmusic apps,Traktor DJ, through social and photography apps, such as Over, and through to games. It's the latter category which is likely to be of most interest, with well-known titlesBadland and Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP on offer.
However, it's likely that there are several more waiting to be discovered, something that's tricky to do right now given the absence of any master list or even mention by the individual publishers in the app descriptions. So far, the only mention we can find is Epic Games' suggestion that Infinity Blade II will be "free for a limited time."
Of course, there's method in Apple's discounting madness. Making in-demand apps free is only going to drive download numbers, as well as make in-app purchases for participating titles more likely.
The actual 5th anniversary of the App Store will take place on Wednesday this week, though we're expecting Apple to make some official comment on the price changes ahead of that point, potentially later on today. Let us know if you spot any more new freebies in the comments.

I had quite a busy day getting some chores done that's been sitting around over the last few days while we were gone for the holidays. I did a bunch of laundry, hanged clothes, folded the clothes, vacuumed the floors, then I cleaned our bathrooms as well. I also took our Christmas tree down with some help from my little helper named, Charles. Though I really want to do it by myself as I like to keep things organized and neat just the way I wanted them to be. But Charles was very insistent to help in taking off the ornaments from the tree.
Speaking of ornaments, I bought some more gold sets of Christmas ornaments from Hobby Lobby and it was a great deal. All the Christmas decorations are 80% off and I would love to go back to Hobby Lobby again this afternoon when my hubby gets home. There are some Christmas decorations that I would love to buy but when I was at the store the other day I did not buy them. Besides, 80% off is a great deal after all. This weekend will not be much fun though as my husband has another two day wrestling tournament though at least this is a local tourney it still makes for a long couple of days. Charles will once again miss his Dad like last week when we stayed in Missouri when Doug came back for a two day tournament. I cannot wait till wrestling season is over.

Whether your child has chipped or broken teeth or is missing teeth, Smiles 4 Life can reestablish a healthy smile through dental restorations. Restorations are not only cosmetic– they are also important to maintaining the integrity of your child's teeth and preventing further damage. Fillings, crowns, implants and bridges ensure adequate tooth function and promote good oral health.
Dental Restorations — Fillings
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, tooth decay is the most common health problem for children. If your child has developed a cavity and it is left untreated, the decay will likely progress down to the inner core of the tooth, exposing the nerve and causing pain. Fillings are the most widely used dental restorations for repairing teeth affected by decay and they are also often used to reconstruct teeth that are fractured, chipped, or broken. During the filling procedure, the dentist will remove the decayed portion of your child's tooth and fill the hole with a protective material. Smiles 4 Life has several options for filling materials, including gold, porcelain, silver amalgam and tooth-colored composite resin, and we will work with you to decide what is best for your child.
If one of your child's teeth has a significant amount of decay, a dental crown may be necessary to restore the tooth's shape, strength and appearance. Essentially caps that areas` placed over teeth, crowns are dental restorations that fully cover the entire visible portion of teeth. Temporary crowns made of acrylic or stainless steel can be made here in our Columbus office, and our dental lab can create permanent crowns made of other materials, including gold, porcelain, ceramic and resin. For children, temporary stainless crowns are usually suggested for baby or primary teeth, while permanent crowns may be considered for adult teeth.
Implants and Bridges in Columbus, Ohio
Early loss of a primary tooth may not seem like serious problem, as children lose baby teeth all the time. But if your child loses one of these teeth due to dental trauma, it can cause problems for the corresponding permanent tooth as the other teeth may close in on the gap as they grow in. Implants and bridges are dental restorations that can be used to maintain proper tooth spacing in the mouth as the permanent teeth erupt. Children who have a permanent tooth knocked out can also benefit from replacing the tooth with an implant or bridge. Depending upon the particular needs of your child, or oral health care team will recommend an appropriate tooth replacement device.
Dental restorations can stabilize your child's bite, protect the teeth, and restore a beautiful smile – contact Smiles 4 Life in Columbus for to schedule a consultation for your child today.

Atlantic City, NJ has seen a slowing down in some of its casino resorts because new ones have been popping up in the states of Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut. But that's also given the city the chance to grow it's residential and other commercial real estate markets and address the need for new buildings. Boraie Development, a longtime real estate investing and construction firm is planning to address Atlantic City's housing needs through an $81 million project known as the South Inlet Beach which will bring in 250 new apartments as well as other entertainment space. It will be one of the first steps taken to replace housing stock that's mostly older than 40 years.
When it comes to building new apartments and office space to meet the needs of Newark and New Brunswick business people, Boraie Development has delivered with high rises and ground facilities of the finest quality. It's Omar Boraie, an Egyptian immigrant who has made New Brunswick's finest housing a reality by believing he could change the face of the city, and sticking to the resolution. He had come to Rutgers University to finish his doctorate degree in chemistry, and while searching for his own house saw a large amount of abandoned rundown buildings across New Brunswick. He figured this would be a great opportunity for real estate investing and that nobody else was going to do it. For more details visit Crunchbase.
According to Patch, Omar Boraie started telling people about how he was going to turn an abandoned lot on Albany Street into a thriving business hub. Most people thought he was crazy to think he could do it, but he had faith that his work would bring hope to the city. And he especially became encouraged in his work when Dick Sellers, the CEO of Johnson & Johnson announced that the company would remain in the city. Check out his website boraie.com to see more.
The Boraie Development's first accomplishment was tower one in what's now Albany Plaza. Tower two would follow along with several others until the area that was once known to be unsafe to visit during the evening soon became the thriving business hub that Sam Boraie envisioned it to be. Not far from there is The Aspire, one of New Brunswick's finest apartment complexes that's been looked at as a housing masterpiece. In addition to his career in real estate, Omar Boraie also has an interest in genomics and holds the prominent Omar Boraie Chair at the Rutgers Genomic Science Department.

Lack of Troops an Example of Shirking?
This article is rather long, but it has an interesting theory toward the end - that military claims of lack of sufficient troops for a given undertaking may be a from of shirking. Don't know if it applies in Iraq, but I am always reminded of the Union general (was it McClellan) who Lincoln couldn't get to budge from his camping trip on the Potomac to go and fight Lee.

Ektelon EXO3 RG Toron Racquet
Price: $149.99
Regular Price:
Bang for the Buck: $$$$
Our #1 Selling 170g Racquet
Ektelon EXO3 RG Toron Racquet Details
Product Specs
|Weight: 170g (unstrung)
|Racquet Length: 22 in
|Factory Grip: Ektelon Vision II
|Factory String: Ektelon Premier Power 17g
|Balance Point: 1 pt Head Heavy (factory)
|Frame Shape: Modified Teardrop
|Strung Surface: 106 sq in
|Power Level: 4200
|*Power Level is set by Ektelon
Description of the Racquet
Many have heard the rumors and now they've become a reality. Ruben Gonzalez has signed another 5 year contract with Ektelon and has been instrumental in creating the most powerful and dynamic racquet in the history of the company. The new EXO3 RG Toron is a combination of his current O3 RG and the classic Toron which was the racquet he played with when he was #1 in the world. The new modified teardrop head shape is built for maximum power and has the highest power level Ektelon has ever produced at 4200.
The Ektelon EXO3 RG Toron is available in 2 grip sizes. The SS (Super Small) which is the same small grip flat handle that Ektelon has produced for years and the SSR (Super Small Round) which is the same small grip with a Round handle. The SSR size will have the Ektelon Premier Power 17 strings in Red, not Black as pictured.
If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO Program.
A racquet cover IS NOT provided by the manufacturer with this racquet. You have the option to add a cover for $10 if you would like.
RacquetWorld's General Notes
I would recommend changing the grip to a Python (Our favorite), which will be $11.00 installed, for the added traction to prevent slippage. The Racquetworld Grommet Tape upgrade ($1) can save you $$ in the long run as sometimes strings break from the grommet being worn down.For those who don't know what the grommet is, it's the plastic piece at the top of the racquet that the strings go through.When you hit the wall and floor this gets worn down.
The Python Atlas string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable than the Python Atlas string we suggest. At the time of purchase, the Python Atlas restring upgrade is $22.00. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. Another string we highly recommend is the Python Atlas Deluxe restring upgrade ($25.00), and its a little softer than the original Atlas for those players that prefer a softer string with incredible playability/durability.
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Python Vibration Dampner (Our favorite), Head Megasorb, Gamma Worm or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
The wristlacer black is the default wrist tether that comes on your racquet at no charge.If you want to change colors, a small fee of $2.95 will be added for switching.
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?"It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper.For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.
Racquet Covers - Choose one for $10 (RacquetWorld Cover is Only $8.00)
A full racquet cover is NOT provided by the manufacturer with this racquet. You have the option of adding a full cover for $8-10 if you would like. If you want the best cover on the market buy the Racquetworld Cover. It is oversized, has a full outside pocket, a handle strap and a large shoulder strap as well as a ventilated pocket to let your grip breathe and best of all its $2 less than the others because we want to help you by supporting our company! The charge will only be $8.00 when added to the cart for this choice instead of $10.00 like the other covers.

Mellifluous (adj) a sound that is sweet and smooth, pleasing to hear.
23rd April, Sant Jordi, probably my favourite day of the year.
It's our equivalent of Valentine's day, lots of love all around. Tradition states that the boy hand delivers a red rose to his loved one and she in return gifts him a book. How beautiful is that?
The best part this year is that Sant Jordi was on a Sunday so we got to go into the city to see how Barcelona had been dressed up for the most beautiful day of the year. Normally I would cringe at the thought of wading through crowds but wading through crowds of book lovers is a different story. Going from one book stall to another and touching all the books is something that book lovers will understand. Authors were signing their books, girls happily walked down the street holding their rose, everyone is happy, except those that decided to brave it with a double stroller, they were not very happy.
Here is a glimpse of a few of Passeig de Gracia's buildings.
This is my interpretation of mellifluous, the gentle hum of the crowds, the sounds of awe when someone sees Casa Batlló for the first time, the sighs of exasperation waiting in line for your favourite author to sign your book. And then not os mellifluous the sound of impatient drivers honking their horns. It was like trying to drive through a marathon so those that didn't take their patience pill had a hard time.
To see what sounds Julie Anne from Surrey UK finds mellifluous and to follow the rest of the blog circle around the world click here.
