A little something for the weekend...hopefully!
Anyway as 2008 draws to a close minds are planning 2009. I myself find myself straddling this year's end and next years start with a late 'A' race in '08 and an early 'A' race in '09; more on next year later.
I am within a month of this cycle's 'A' race; Twin Peaks 50 miler and this weekend, fingers crossed, I'll be on the start line of my penultimate tuning race; PCTR Pt Mugu 50k. It seems hard to imagine that this will be the anniversary of my first ultra marathon. This time last year I was undecided on what distance to run and in fact whether to run at all, I was just coming off of injury and had kept open the option of bailing at the 30k and 40k mark you can read the race report here. I say fingers crossed as last week, albeit a week late, I had my little surgery I am now on the mend, I have a follow up visit this Thursday and hope to get one run and a bike in this week. I was hoping for a gentle five miler last night but it just felt too soon; without going into graphic details the bruising looks like I came off worse after three rounds with a pit pull with lockjaw, so we'll see how things go later today. I'll taper as such Friday and Saturday and that'll be that. While it is a training run I do have some goals. In order of increasing appreciation:
3rd: Finish; never assumed
2nd: New 50K PR this would be sub 6:34
1st: Sub 6 hours; my epiphany was 5:54
So plenty of things to play for and with the following weekend being Thanksgiving it's very likely that this will be the last long run (20m+) before Twin Peaks so it had better be a good one. Having run it last year the good thing is that I know the course however the bad thing is that I know the course. Here's the elevation profile, I'll let you decide if you would sooner be surprised or not!

That is the craziest elevation profile I've ever seen - good luck!ReplyDelete
One month away till your A race, how exciting...Man the determination it takes to get that long run in Thanksgiving weekend, awesome.ReplyDelete
That elavation profile is SICK!ReplyDelete
You said: three rounds with a pit pull with lockjaw....
Trying very hard not to comment..LOL!!
You are the kingpin of product reviews by the way. Previous report was full of great info! Still waiting on the sports bra review..with pictures please.
Good luck with the 50k! And, happy (ultramarathon) anniversary!ReplyDelete
As long as knowing the course doesn't actually stop you from running it, I think familiarity's a good thing! Plus, running's like they say giving birth is-- you can never really remember the pain accurately once it's over! Impressive goals, no surprise there.ReplyDelete
Good luck on the long run this weekend! I am contemplating some of '09, but right now, I have to just keep my sights focused on finishing up '08. I don't like to think too far ahead.ReplyDelete
Hah, that looks like quite a challenge there!ReplyDelete

Now, there are all kinds of personality profiling tools. Almost every one would claim that their tool is the best (and an unadulterated blessing to mankind) and that the other tools are so seriously flawed that they can corrupt young (and old) minds and even souls! Though the validity and usefulness of these tools are doubtful, I am very much certain that personality profiling tools can provide amusement and pleasant diversion from the unpleasant realities of work! Since, I have always aspired to be some sort of a 'Corporate Court Jester' (see 'OD Managers and Court Jesters' for details), how can I resist the temptation to jump into the business of personality profiling - at least for comic relief?!
My personal preference is for tools that are more like 'straws in the wind' - simple things that can give an indication regarding the direction of the wind (personality).I also know that when we give people an ambiguous question, people will project their own meanings into it and hence their answers would reveal quite a bit about their personality. Actually, this is similar to what happens in a human process lab where an unstructured situation is deliberately created so that participants will project their 'here and now' reality into it (say, in their attempts to structure the situation) which in turn can serve as a mirror for the underlying feelings and thoughts. All this led to the creation of the 'two plus two' personality profiling tool.
So, what is this '2 + 2' personality profiling tool?
- 2+2 profiling aims to highlight some aspects of the occupational personality of the individuals concerned based on how they will answer the question 'What is two plus two?'
- 2+2 profile is more of a 'caricature' and it is not intended to a 'portrait' of the individual
- 2+2 profiling is intended to be a joke (with a grain of truth)
- 2+2 profiling won't work on people who have a mathematical approach to life (See 'A mathematical approach to HR' for details).
Now let us look at some of the possible answers. Of course, many more are possible!
- Why do want to know? Why are you asking me? Who told you that I know the answer? What will you do with this information?
- Before we can answering this question, we need to have a detailed discussion on 'What is addition?'
- The answer can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 22 depending on the organization culture!
- Both the 2s are my family friends. Let me tell you long stories about my last 4 meetings with them. By the way, since both of them are family friends, it won't be proper for me to add them!
- What do you want the answer to be? You can choose the answer you like and I can help you to convince others that it is the right answer
Is there anything at all that you can infer from the answers about the people involved? Can you think of any modifications to the tool ? What about possible applications for the tool? For example, can we do some sort of a team building activity using this tool? (This could involve asking the team members to write down different answers to the above question so as to highlight key personality characteristics of themselves and of each of the other team members. Then each person can look at the various answers that others have written to highlight his/her personality characteristics and try to infer what could be the underlying personality characteristics. May be, they will learn something useful about themselves or at least about perceptions others have about them). What do you think?

Which WordPress theme is the best for SEO? This is a question I am asked every single week. Unfortunately, there are thousands of lawyers that have spent a significant amount of hard earned money on a website that does not perform well. In 2015, there are a number of legal website builders that offer a full service package that includes the website, analytics, Google Adwords, SEO and content. Unfortunately, the full service package does not matter if Google cannot effectively and efficiently crawl your website. With that in mind, this is what you need to know about WordPress themes that are good for Lawyer SEO.
Some of the best WordPress themes are the ones that are free and available once you install WordPress. The theme I am using for this website, NewsFrame, was free and is available to all. While it is not the most fancy WordPress theme, it does the job. There is a very high likelihood that you found this article in search which is all I ask of my theme.
Most of the newer WordPress themes are easily customizable meaning you can create a header or banner on the top to display your professional photo, branding, areas of expertise and more. Rather than having a ton of "sliding" or java images recognize that Google more easily crawls a website that is less complicated.
When thinking about building a new website, look at your competitors that are ranking on the front page of Google. Do they have a fancy theme with images popping up and javascripts making it more interactive? Also, recognize what your common client or reader is coming to your website for. Are they coming to your website to see infographics and maps that move or are they just looking for a personal injury lawyer?
I know that branding and image is very important; I will never deny that. Even with this being the case, there are still a number of great WordPress themes that are easily crawled by Google that have not been over optimized. If you are a personal injury lawyer or medical malpractice lawyer in need of a website and/or SEO contact me today at firstname.lastname@example.com. We can discuss an affordable theme that works for you and the ways you can rank much higher in Google search.

A radially polarized elegant beam (RPEB) in which the argument of the Laguerre part is complex is introduced and studied. The nonparaxial and paraxial propagation properties of the RPEB are demonstrated analytically and numerically in free space in terms of the vectorial Rayleigh–Sommerfeld formulas. The electric field distribution of the RPEB preserves the radial polarization at any propagation position. For the lowest-order RPEB and the lowest-order radially polarized beam cases, the general expressions for the nonparaxial propagation field are identical in free space. The exact on-axis expression of the RPEB has been provided in closed-form terms for an arbitrary transverse beam size.

Tagliatelle all'alga marina con gamberi e pomodoro in cartoccio trasparente
Another of our great week's specials that is expressly thought for lovers of seafood and pasta combinations. This time, our delicious homemade Tagliatelle comes seasoned with seaweed, crayfish and tomato sauce and served wrapped in a scenic transparent parcel. This dish of sumptuous appearance is anything else but "Tagliatelle all'alga marina con gamberi e Pomodoro in cartoccio transparente", the last culinary discovery of our chef.
Seaweeds have always been part and parcel of the Italian culinary tradition. An example of an Italian dish having seaweeds as its main ingredients is "Zeppoline" from Naples, a kind of tasty fried street food made from flour and seaweeds. "Pasta al cartoccio" is a scenic way of serving pasta. Your tagliatelle or spaghetti is served wrapped in a parcel made out of the same dough that is utilized for pizza, or other edible material. The parcel can then be eaten or thrown away, at your choice.
If you like seafood and pasta, you've landed in the right place. In PocoLoco's menu, there are several famous seafood and pasta dishes, like "Risotto al nero di seppia"(Ink squid risotto"), "Tagliolini ai ricci di mare"(Sea urchin Pasta), and "Tagliolini Caserecci in Salsa Mentaiko"(Tagliolini with Mentaiko sauce), just to mention some few of them.

What is Java Collections Framework
Collections are used in every programming language and initial java release contained few classes for collections: Vector, Stack, Hashtable, Array. But looking at the larger scope and usage, Java 1.2 came up with Collections Framework that group all the collections interfaces, implementations and algorithms.
Java Collections have come through a long way with usage of Generics and Concurrent Collection classes for thread-safe operations. It also includes blocking interfaces and their implementations in java concurrent package.
Some of the benefits of collections framework are;
- Reduced development effort by using core collection classes rather than implementing our own collection classes.
- Code quality is enhanced with the use of well tested collections framework classes.
- Reduced effort for code maintenance by using collection classes shipped with JDK.
- Reusability and Interoperability
What is the benefit of Generics in Collections Framework?
Java 1.5 came with Generics and all collection interfaces and implementations use it heavily. Generics allow us to provide the type of Object that a collection can contain, so if you try to add any element of other type it throws compile time error.
This avoids ClassCastException at Runtime because you will get the error at compilation. Also Generics make code clean since we don't need to use casting and instanceof operator.
What are the basic interfaces of Java Collections Framework?
Collection is the root of the collection hierarchy. A collection represents a group of objects known as its elements. The Java platform doesn't provide any direct implementations of this interface.
Set is a collection that cannot contain duplicate elements. This interface models the mathematical set abstraction and is used to represent sets, such as the deck of cards.
List is an ordered collection and can contain duplicate elements. You can access any element from it's index. List is more like array with dynamic length.
Map is an object that maps keys to values. A map cannot contain duplicate keys: Each key can map to at most one value.
What is the difference between ArrayList and Vector?
- ArrayList is not synchronized.
- ArrayList is not a legacy class.
- ArrayList increases its size by 50% of the array size.
- Vector is synchronized.
- Vector is a legacy class.
- Vector increases its size by doubling the array size.
What is the difference between ArrayList and LinkedList?
- ArrayList uses a dynamic array.
- ArrayList is not efficient for manipulation because a lot of shifting is required.
- ArrayList is better to store and fetch data.
- LinkedList uses doubly linked list.
- LinkedList is efficient for manipulation.
- LinkedList is better to manipulate data.
What is the difference between Iterator and ListIterator?
Iterator traverses the elements in forward direction only whereas ListIterator traverses the elements in forward and backward direction.
- Iterator traverses the elements in forward direction only.
- Iterator can be used in List, Set and Queue.
- ListIterator traverses the elements in backward and forward directions both.
- ListIterator can be used in List only.
What is the difference between Iterator and Enumeration?
- Iterator can traverse legacy and non-legacy elements.
- Iterator is fail-fast.
- Iterator is slower than Enumeration.
- Enumeration can traverse only legacy elements.
- Enumeration is not fail-fast.
- Enumeration is faster than Iterator.
What is the difference between
List and
List can contain duplicate elements whereas
Set contains only unique elements.
What is the difference between
HashSet and
HashSet maintains no order whereas
TreeSet maintains ascending order.
What is the difference between Set and Map?
Set contains values only whereas Map contains key and values both.
What is the difference between HashSet and HashMap?
HashSet contains only values whereas HashMap contains entry(key,value). HashSet can be iterated but HashMap need to convert into Set to be iterated.
What is the difference between HashMap and TreeMap?
HashMap maintains no order but TreeMap maintains ascending order.
What is the difference between HashMap and Hashtable?
- HashMap is not synchronized.
- HashMap can contain one null key and multiple null values.
- Hashtable is synchronized.
- Hashtable cannot contain any null key or null value.
What is the difference between Collection and Collections?
Collection is an interface whereas Collections is a class. Collection interface provides normal functionality of data structure to List, Set and Queue. But, Collections class is to sort and synchronize collection elements.
What is the difference between Comparable and Comparator?
- Comparable provides only one sort of sequence.
- It provides one method named compareTo().
- It is found in java.lang package.
- If we implement Comparable interface, actual class is modified.
- Comparator provides multiple sort of sequences.
- It provides one method named compare().
- it is found in java.util package.
- Actual class is not modified.
HashMap works in Java?
HashMap stores key-value pair in
Map.Entry static nested class implementation.
HashMap works on hashing algorithm and uses
hashCode() and
equals() method in put and get methods.
When we call
put method by passing key-value pair,
HashMap uses Key
hashCode() with hashing to find out the index to store the key-value pair. The Entry is stored in the LinkedList, so if there are already existing entry, it uses
equals() method to check if the passed key already exists, if yes it overwrites the value else it creates a new entry and store this key-value Entry.
When we call
get method by passing Key, again it uses the
hashCode() to find the index in the array and then use
equals() method to find the correct Entry and return it's value.
What is difference between
Array and
- Arrays can contain primitive or Objects whereas
- Arrays are fixed size whereas
- Arrays doesn't provide a lot of features like ArrayList, such as addAll, removeAll, iterator etc.
- ArrayList can contain only Objects.
- ArrayList size is dynamic.
- ArrayList provide a lot of features like ArrayList, such as addAll, removeAll, iterator etc.
Although ArrayList is the obvious choice when we work on list, there are few times when array are good to use.
If the size of list is fixed and mostly used to store and traverse them.
For list of primitive data types, although Collections use autoboxing to reduce the coding effort but still it makes them slow when working on fixed size primitive data types.
What is
java.util.EnumSet is Set implementation to use with enum types. All of the elements in an enum set must come from a single enum type that is specified, explicitly or implicitly, when the set is created. EnumSet is not synchronized and null elements are not allowed. It also provides some useful methods like copyOf(Collection c), of(E first, E… rest) and complementOf(EnumSet s).
What is Java Priority Queue?
PriorityQueue is an unbounded queue based on a priority heap and the elements are ordered in their natural order or we can provide Comparator for ordering at the time of creation. PriorityQueue doesn't allow null values and we can't add any object that doesn't provide natural ordering or we don't have any comparator for them for ordering. Java PriorityQueue is not thread-safe and provided O(log(n)) time for enqueing and dequeing operations.
What is the advantage of Properties file?
If you change the value in properties file, you don't need to recompile the java class. So, it makes the application easy to manage.
What does the hashCode() and equals() method?
The hashCode() method returns a hash code value (an integer number).
The hashCode() method returns the same integer number, if two keys (by calling equals() method) are same.
But, it is possible that two hash code numbers can have different or same keys.
The equals method is used to check whether two objects are same or not. It needs to be overridden if we want to check the objects based on property.
For example, Employee is a class that has 3 data members: id, name and salary. But, we want to check the equality of employee object on the basis of salary. Then, we need to override the equals() method.
How to synchronize List, Set and Map elements?
Collections class provides methods to make List, Set or Map elements as synchronized:
public static List synchronizedList(List l){}
public static Set synchronizedSet(Set s){}
public static SortedSet synchronizedSortedSet(SortedSet s){}
public static Map synchronizedMap(Map m){}
public static SortedMap synchronizedSortedMap(SortedMap m){}
What is the advantage of generic collection?
If we use generic class, we don't need typecasting. It is typesafe and checked at compile time.
What is hash-collision in Hashtable and how it is handled in Java?
Two different keys with the same hash value is known as hash-collision. Two different entries will be kept in a single hash bucket to avoid the collision.
What is the Dictionary class?
The Dictionary class provides the capability to store key-value pairs.
What is the default size of load factor in hashing based collection?
The default size of load factor is 0.75. The default capacity is computed as initial capacity * load factor. For example, 16 * 0.75 = 12. So, 12 is the default capacity of Map.

Aerodynamic shape optimization
Three-dimensional geometries are often parameterized by tens-to-hundreds of shape parameters, which enables design and control studies with the geometry. With active subspaces, we discovered a one-dimensional parameterization of the 50-dimensional geometry description that changed lift and drag the most.
Integrated hydrologic model
Integrated hydrologic models couple subsurface flow models with land models that characterize the interface between the subsurface and the atmosphere. These models contain several parameters that control the characterization. And these parameters affect model predictions for quantities of interest like temperature and evaporation. We use active subspaces to identify a low-dimensional parameterization of a particular integrated hydrologic model that increases efficiency and confidence in model predictions.
Single-diode solar cell model
Solar cell circuit models contain several parameters that control the model predictions. We identify a one-dimensional active subspace in the five-dimensional space of model parameters. This low-dimensional parameterization can aid in calibration and uncertainty quantification.

Plans are in place, but it's a titanic wait….
The guessing game goes on at the Cambridge University Botanic Garden, as staff continue their twice daily inspection of the titan arum for clues as to when it might finally come into flower.
Anticipation reached fever pitch on Tuesday night when the third and final bract fell from the developing flower structure, but the titan arum still seems reluctant to open up. 'Plus,' says Alex Summers, Glasshouse Supervisor at the Garden, 'it is still growing. It put on 4cm in height overnight to reach 124cm and the base of the structure is still swelling as the titan arum prepares to flower.'
Alex adds: We thought that this titan arum might come into flower quicker than our 2004 specimen as it is growing from a smaller tuber – we've dubbed it 'Tiny' - but so far it is following the same growth rate trajectory. We continue to monitor Tiny closely, taking measurements in the morning and having another good look in the early afternoon as this is when we expect to see signs of the flower structure begin to open. We're all on tenterhooks!
The interest in this rare flowering, which will only last two days, has been phenomenal with thousands viewing and sharing the news on Facebook and Twitter, and watching the live webcam, which has occasionally crashed due to numbers of titan watchers crowding the available bandwidth.
Professor Beverley Glover, Director of the Botanic Garden, said:
Team Tiny Titan at the Garden are all set to go. The special lighting is in, the volunteer and staff rotas are organised, the print is done - we just need Tiny to be triggered into flower! It's like being pregnant with your first child and being days overdue. You get so impatient!
When Tiny does flower, we will be opening late at the Garden for as many people as possible to enjoy the spectacle of one of the largest single flowering structures coming into bloom, accompanied by, we hope, its famous night-time stench! Last admission will be at 10pm.
For now, Tiny titan watchers should keep checking the Garden's website for news and follow @CUBotanicGarden #tinytitan
To while away the wait, Botanic Garden staff have come up with some Tiny activities:
- Take a look at the growth chart to the left, up to date as of 15 July, which compares the 2004 flowering with Tiny's development and run a sweepstake as to when the titan will flower. Tweet your best guesses to @CUBotanicGarden #tinytitan
- Download the titan arum colouring sheet from the website at www.botanic.cam.ac.uk, doodle some new colour schemes and share on the Garden's Facebook page /CUBotanicGarden
- Download the Garden's information booklet 'Tiny Titan kicks up a rare stink' and do some homework!
- Keep watching the live webcam trained on Tiny – you could be one of the lucky 500 who can view it at any one time! Find it at http://www.plantsci.cam.ac.uk/news/2015-07-14
- Enjoy a timelapse of the Garden's 2004 titan arum flowering on the Garden's YouTube channel (https://youtu.be/pFncFg3LEhk) where you can also search for an extract from the BBC's Private Life of Plants in which David Attenborough tracks down a titan in flower in its native rainforests in Sumatra, Indonesia.
- The Botanic Garden will stay open late on the two nights the titan arum is in flower
Admission out of normal Garden opening hours to the Glasshouse Range will be by the Brookside Gate only.
Last admission will be 10pm.
Admission to the Botanic Garden out of normal Garden opening hours in order to visit the titan arum will be £3 for adults (17+). Friends of Cambridge University Botanic Garden, accompanied children aged 0-16 inclusive and Cambridge University students in possession of a valid University Card will be admitted free of charge.
Fun facts about the titan arum:
Amorphophallus translates as 'mis-shapen penis'
The titan arum was introduced to Europe in 1878 by Dr Odoardo Beccari, who spent 13 years exploring and botanising in southeast Asia under the protection of his friend, James Brooke, the first Rajah of Sarawak
New Reekie, which flowered at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, in June 2015 grew from a record-breaking tuber weighing 153kg (@TitanArum RBGE)
It was once thought that the titan arum was pollinated by elephants!
There are around 200 different species of Amorphophallus in the Araceae family, and the Garden has 13 in its collection
The tuber of the titan arum in flower at the Botanic Garden was brought into the collection in 2000. Before sending up the flowering bud, it had been dormant for nearly eight months. It was last re-potted in October 2014 when it weighted 12kg. It is potted into a mix of coir, sand and pumice and is given a weekly soluble feed. Once in growth it is watered every other day
The titan arum is related to the more diminutive, British hedgerow native, Lords and Ladies (Arum maculatum).

There are two major command using by Gen2, which are QueryAdjust and QueryRep. Specifically, these two commands are used by Reader. Also, as we may find out that Reader's transmission rate is 4 times slower than Tags' rate.
So the length of these two commonly using commands becomes critical in performance when doing time measurement.
Gen2 does very well in shortening their length:
QueryRep >> command type(2 bits) + Session (2 bits) = 4 bits
QueryAdjust >> command type(4 bits) + Session (2 bits) + Up or Down (3 bits) = 9 bits
There is only two 2 bits long command types, one is QueryRep, as it uses every time to order tags to downcounter by 1. Base on performance of Gen2, averagely, every tag needs 3 query rounds to be identified. So if there is 1000 tags, QueryRep is sent 3000 times roughly.
QueryAdjust is used to change the value of Q in the Q-algorithm. Instead of telling the value of Q directly in its command, it only tells how to change its value, as Q is changed step by step, one by one.
This efficient side of Gen2 compensates the upper limit performance of Aloha algorithm. These two succinct command lines reduce huge time in the whole process.

Waterway has access to:Canal de Nantes à Brest | Canal in France
The Blavet springs east of Rostrenen at the Côte d'Armor. On its way it feeds the Lac de Guerledan. This storage-lake is the reason why the Canal de Nantes is not navigable all the way through anymore. (There is a project for a ship lift or transportation at shore). From Pontivy the river is mostly canalised and navigable, after Hennebont it depends on tides and is therefore a sea waterway.
Houseboat holiday in the south of Brittany:
Advantages: Because of the Gulf Stream, it has a very warm climate. Entry to the entire navigable waterways of Brittany, entry to the beautiful beaches of the Côte d'Armor
Disadvantage: Lies in the outermost northwest of the country (an advantage for Great Britain), can have a scarcity of water.
Until Hennebont suitable for all families, afterwards because of tides more demanding
Brittany is surely one of the most beautiful departments of France and offers, especially on its south coast, something for (almost) everybody. Beaches, horse riding, biking, walking and of course trips on boats.
Wine and Dine
Near to the Atlantic a lot of fish and other seafood is served. Inland, meals are of course more rural. Surely, anyone will find something to his taste, for example Noix de Sant-Jacque, Crêpes completes, Galettes bretonnes or a Far Breton. Wine is not produced but as in the neighbouring Normandy, one gets a lot of cider.

Devon Ke Dev Mahadev – Bringing The Supreme God To Life In Majestic Style
India, Hindustan, Bharat, three names for the same country which is the seventh largest by area, second largest by population and the largest democracy in the world. The very essence of each of these names is derived from ancient history which in turn owes its origin to mythology.
The name India is derived from Indus, which originates from the Old Persian word Hindu (Hindustan thus being the 'land of the Hindus'). The latter term stems from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, which was the historical local appellation for the Indus River which powered one of the world's earliest urban civilizations viz. the Indus Valley Civilization. The river Indus originates in the Tibetan plateau in the vicinity of Lake Mansarovar which is one of largest freshwater lakes in the world and of extreme significance to Hindus and Buddhists. For thousands of years India has been known to be the land of religion, spirituality and mysticism all of which stems from its very name and roots in Hinduism.
Hinduism, with about one billion followers, is the world's third largest religion, after Christianity and Islam. It is also one of the oldest schools of thought in the world with earliest evidence dating back to the early Harappan period (c. 5500–2600 BCE). It was however during the Vedic period (c. 1700–500 BCE), that the foundations of Hindu philosophy, mythology, and literature were laid, and many beliefs and practices which still exist today, such as dhárma, kárma, yóga, and mokṣa, were established. Hinduism is also considered to be the mother of most religions shaped by various historical schools of thought, including those of the Upanishads, Yoga Sutras, Bhakti movement, and Buddhist philosophy.
Anyone who visits India particularly around an important religious festival of the country would be amazed to see the magnanimity of idol worship and the number of deities prevalent in the country. That count is said to stand at 330 million, although a more rational view contends that the number actually represents infinity and denotes the infinite forms of God. For all practical purposes though, modern day Hinduism has only three main gods; "Brahma-Vishnu-Maheshwara" also referred to as the Trimurti. Of the three it is only Vishnu and Shiva who are worshiped in one of many forms around the world. While Vishnu and his ten avatars are popular and well depicted on film, television and through the timeless epics of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, the mythology around the life of Shiva (also known as Devon Ke Dev Mahadev) was so far left largely unexplored.
Shiva is in fact the only major Hindu deity known to reside on Earth at the peaks of Mount Kailash in his true avatar whereas Vishnu requires an incarnation to be present on the blue planet. The life and form of Shiva is one of terrific intrigue offering timeless lessons that can be applied to modern day life even today. He is one of the few Hindu gods to be worshiped in both symbolic (see Lingam) and physical form. The mythological tales around Shiva and his consort Parvati (previously Sati) refer to numerous temples spread across India which have become major destinations of religious tourism today. Surprisingly, a magnum opus based on the life of Shiva had been missing from Indian television for many years. Indian audiences have an insatiable appetite for mythology so it was just a matter of time before the only unexplored mega Hindu deity was brought to life on the telly.
On December 18, 2011, Life OK an Indian cable and satellite channel, owned and produced by STAR TV and distributed worldwide by Fox International Channels premiered a show titled "Devon Ke Dev Mahadev". The show combined various sources on the life of the deity including the Shiva Puranas and research by noted Indian mythologist Devdutt Pattnaik. Within a few months post its launch it has become one of the most popular shows on Indian television captivating the imagination of audiences across all age groups. Devon Ke Mahadev chronicles the life of Shiva starting from his relationship with Sati, his unwillingness to get married to her due to her flaws, the subsequent marriage and consequences of the same. In the process it has depicted numerous facts that are stated in the various works of Shiva mythology but have been relatively unknown to Indian audiences. The self-immolation of Sati, consequent suffering of Shiva, formation of the river Ganga, marriage to Parvati and her journey to becoming a part of Shiva and the source of all energy on Earth has received a great reception from viewers.
Some of the reasons behind the success of Devon Ke Dev Mahadev has been the terrific attention to detail to every topic shown which in today's world can be instantly verified through a Google search. Additionally, the presentation of the show which encompasses the characters, the performances, the sets, costumes, background music etc has been flawless. One individual who has received rave reviews for his performance on the show is actor Mohit Raina who essays the lead role of Lord Shiva himself. 30 year old Mohit (who bears a resemblance in appearance and voice to MS Dhoni) who hails from the abode of Shiva (Jammu and Kashmir) was a professional model and little known soap star before he landed the title role in Devon Ke Dev Mahadev. Mohit who had a very lean physique prior to the show was asked to put on weight and bulk up as part of his preparation in addition to taking diction lessons in Hindi and learning Kathak. His characterization of Lord Shiva actually brings him close to the deity's popular idol form which is why he has become a subject of immense attention and audience adulation.
Post the success of the show the on-screen Devon Ke Dev Mahadev now faces the challenge of not being type-casted in the same kind of roles and more importantly handling the attention of his fans. Given the fanaticism for mythology and god in India he is likely to have unsettling encounters with people who would treat him as if he were REALLY Lord Shiva.
We Indians are very emotional. In fact on the sets, when we get visitors, they ask me to pose for them in weird positions. One guy took my snap and gifted it to his grandmother! People also ask me to solve their problems. – said Mohit when queried about being idolized as god in remote parts of India as a result of his performance on Devon Ke Dev Mahadev (Source: Screen India)
Well, Mohit and the entire team behind the show have done a terrific job of depicting the various aspects of Shiva while also educating the masses with timeless principles on how to lead a happy life. We just hope that some of the show's magic rubs off on the country's politicians many of whom are staunch followers of Shiva and use their own religious principles to mis-guide the masses.

by Salvador Cefalu, M.S., L.Ac.
The purpose of this multi-part series is to present concepts established in Chinese Medicine that explain physiologically and philosophically the many challenges involved in a person's healing. My hope is to empower those who may be struggling with healing through the insightful wisdom of Chinese Medicine with its history of more than 2500 years.
Chinese Medicine is rooted in ancient philosophy with a human being considered to be a microcosmic expression of the environment in which he or she is created. This philosophy is based on the theories of Yin and Yang and the 5 Elements which were established as an integrated theoretical system by the School of Naturalism during the 5th century B.C.; the Warring States period in China's history. During this period, these concepts became fundamental elements of Daoist philosophy and Chinese Medicine.
This ancient wisdom can help us understand many of our modern day dilemmas regarding our physical and psychological health.
In a previous article, we examined an often overlooked issue -- scar tissue.
If there are scars with significant adhesions causing tightness and tenderness to the touch, this may be the first factor that needs to be treated and resolved in order to initiate the healing process. Scar tissue if problematic can block the flow of energy in an area of the body that relates to a person's health problem. (You can read the article here for insights on how scar tissue may be a major barrier to your healing.)
Conventional medicine and the use of medication is often the first resort for most chronic sufferers of disease.
While medication often provides quick relief, it usually does not provide a longterm solution to health problems. Most patients of chronic disease seek alternative healthcare to either reduce their need for medication or to get off medication altogether. While medication may bring quick short-term relief, healing chronic problems usually takes time for deep change to unfold on the physical and psychological levels.
Lifestyle changes are essential to heal chronic diseases in particular, though the healing that comes from these changes takes time to unfold.
Essentially, a chronically suffering individual must give the body and mind a chance to both integrate these changes in his or her life as well as time to allow deep internal transformation.
The development of a chronic disease does not occur overnight and the longer a condition has been around, the longer it's likely to take to resolve. Often the chronicity of a person's disorder is due to the very treatments used to control it. Western medicine is designed to control the disease process, not necessarily resolve it. This approach can create health complications with side effects that further complicate the disease process and make healing an even greater challenge.
Another barrier to healing we commonly see in our clinic is the simultaneous introduction of too many different healing modalities.
This shotgun approach can send mixed messages that confuse the body, potentially interfering with the healing process. One practitioner may be working to detoxify a patient while another is trying to strengthen and consolidate energy for healing and rejuvenation. These approaches do not necessarily work well together at the same time. If the various healing modalities with which the patient is working are not in alignment with one another, the effects of the various treatments can be counterproductive to achieve the desired result.
It is therefore important to ensure that your healthcare practitioners' strategies are in alignment and clearly working towards your health goal.
Some of the greatest barriers to healing a chronic health problem are rooted in a long history of emotional, medicinal, surgical and dietary complications.
To understand these barriers, the following articles will survey the pathological factors that according to Chinese Medicine underlie chronic health disorders and impair the healing process. These factors include the pathological processes of Wind, Dampness, Cold, Heat, food stagnation, Qi stagnation and blood stagnation. In addition, there may be factors of deficiency such as deficiency of Qi and deficiency of blood.
The material presented in this blog series will help you gain an understanding of these pathological factors and help clarify, according to Chinese Medicine, why you may be suffering from a chronic health disorder.

Puel wants Southampton players to be more clinical in front of goal
Claude Puel has challenged his Southampton side to be more clinical in front of goal ahead of their midweek Premier League clash against in-form Crystal Palace.
Saints were held to a goalless draw against Bournemouth on Saturday after missing numerous chances to claim all three points. After that result, the Frenchman insisted that his side's lacklustre performance was due to tiredness following the international break.
Despite scoring 11 goals in their last five games, Puel believes his side will need to be at their best if they are to overcome a resurgent Palace side.
"It's important now to find a good balance, to find a clinical edge because we haven't scored in the last game," the Southampton manager said.
"Against Sunderland, Watford we found a good clinical (edge). All of this is interesting, all the team took confidence. It's important to have a good feeling about this. We have a solution with Jay Rodriguez or Shane Long. It's important to have a good feeling with all the players. You can score the first goal after the team can take confidence and it's better for the next."
Sam Allardyce's Palace side have won four games on the trot, including their shock 2-1 victory over leaders Chelsea last weekend.
Southampton currently occupy 10th position in the table but the six teams below them are within three points.
Wednesday's opponents Palace, who lie in 16th place, are one of those sides breathing down the necks of the Saints. B ut with two games in hand, Puel is confident his team can withhold the chasing pack and solidify a top 10 spot.
He said: "I think it is important to stay with a good concentration. We have a seven-point advantage (over the bottom three) and its important to keep improving. We have two games in hand also. We play at home and it's important to find a good clinical (performance) against this team (Crystal Palace). We know it's a difficult challenge and we like this challenge.
"For the moment, it's important we take points because one win or one loss can make a difference in the table. All of the teams are together like Bournemouth, Palace and West Brom who are in front of us."
Meanwhile, Puel is hopeful striker Manolo Gabbiadini will make a return to action for their clash against Manchester City next Saturday.
Gabbiadini missed the Bournemouth game after suffering a groin injury prior to the international break.
Having arrived at St Mary's on January transfer deadline day, the former Napoli frontman hit the ground running with five goals in his first four starts before sustaining an injury in the early stages of their defeat at Tottenham.
The 25-year-old will miss their midweek game against Palace and Puel confirmed that the forward has taken part in light training. but the Frenchman, however, did not want to solely focus on the possible time for Gabbiadini's return.
"He has started to run but cannot, for the moment, make the full training session with the squad," said Puel..
"I hope (he can be back) the next week and if he cannot participate and stay available, we will wait for the next game against Manchester City. He is an important player for us but for now I prefer speaking about Jay (Rodriguez) or Shane (Long) because now they are the important players for us."

Travis Hitchcock, Designer
Travis has a two-word mantra: sketch first. He may be living in a digital world, but he's a material guy – so he starts with paper and pencil because it allows him to see and know every form. And even as those forms come to life on screen, he returns to his sketch pad throughout his process, retracing and refining. It's no surprise, then, that he's partial to projects with some level of tangibility: design that will, in one way or another, have an implementation beyond digital – from signage to collateral to T-shirts.
Travis earned his B.F.A. in graphic design from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. While there, his work was included in various exhibitions, including three juried student exhibitions at The Cress Gallery of Art and a solo exhibition titled On Demand at The Apothecary gallery.

For most people, the defining moment of a tech product launch presentation is when the price of a product is revealed. But at the launch of the Yunicorn, the latest device from YU, Micromax's sister brand, the moment came just a few minutes before the announcement of the price.
Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma, asked for a microphone for the Flipkart spokesperson on stage. A slightly flustered assistant handed him a large hammer (which was supposed to be used to break a box and later reveal the final price later) instead.
Rahul stared at the hammer for a second. The world seemed to stand still. Would we see a display of temper or a flustered attempt to cover matters up? We saw neither. The Micromax and YU co-founder just laughed and said:
"Abe, ye microphone hai?"
("Oi, is this a microphone?")
The laughter that followed was a rather surprising hallmark of the launch event. Surprising because, although he is the co-founder of arguably two of the most talked about Indian phone brands in recent times – Micromax and YU – Rahul Sharma is not known for making his audiences laugh. The man has made his share of presentations, some of them very high profile ones, but has generally shown a tendency to steer clear of the crowds and the spotlight. If anything, his presentations have tended to be rather linear in nature. Not for him the spontaneous flair of a Hugo Barra or the on-stage aggression of his own former colleague, Vineet Taneja (it is very difficult to think of Rahul chewing an Apple on stage to make a point about the competition!).
No, when it comes to the spotlight, Rahul Sharma has always tended to stick to the straight and narrow, preferring the well-trod path to charting new courses. The presentations seemed to follow a template – talk a bit of vision, talk of the product itself, take a few jabs at the competition and then announce the pricing, sticking to marketing terminology and carefully enunciated English. Yes, there was the one occasion when he arrived on the stage behind a cardboard mask for the launch of the Yunique but even on that occasion, the humor seemed a little forced rather than spontaneous. He is not a person who opens up easily to others – when we asked him for an interview on one year of the YU brand, we had to be content with an e-mail interaction.
The launch of the Yunicorn was a very different matter.
The days leading up to the event saw Sharma interacting with the media extensively. And not just briefing them about the product but even indulging in mild banter – something that he was not known for. He teased our colleague at 91Mobiles, Deepak Dhingra, about being too absorbed with his handset, playfully telling him: "Arre Dhingra sahab, kabhi hamaari baat bhi sun liya kijiye" ("Dear Mr Dhingra, do listen to what I say sometimes"), and was remarkably open about past "mistakes" – "we tried to do too much with Cyanogen, and they could not quite cope" he conceded when asked about Yutopia, the company's former flagship whose excellent hardware got tripped up by royally buggy software.
And on the day of the event too, he seemed surprisingly relaxed. He mingled with the media and fans before proceedings got underway and then pulled a few rabbits out the hat when the presentation got underway. He started matters off by revealing the price and device right away. Now, this actually was not the real price, but that did not stop a number of sites and publications from not just quoting it in violation of an embargo but even running comparisons based on it even before the presentation had ended, but that is surely another story for another time.
That, he stepped away from the normal, steady (and let's be brutally honest – predictable) presentation template, and for the first time in quite a while, seemed to be following his own script, often using well-known Hindi idioms and phrases (something many tech presentations tend to avoid – presentations are a very puccah English affair for most). From telling the crowd about how an airline official's accent in the US so confused him that he answered the "window or aisle" question by saying "Windows 2000" to how the phone he was launching was the second most beautiful thing in his life (he recently married one of the most beautiful women in the country) to the laugh about being given a hammer instead of a microphone, Rahul Sharma did something he had seldom done at a product launch in the past.
He tried to entertain. And more often than not, succeeded. It has been a while since we have heard so many giggles and gales of laughter at a tech launch, as the YU founder peppered his presentation with anecdotes. Some seemed a tad out of context, but no one complained because after all, no one minds laughing. And just as he had at the briefings leading up to the launch, he seemed ready to concede that the brand had made mistakes – "Everything was great about the Yutopia," he said, as he referred to the phone on of the slides, and then added ruefully, "except the software!" And when it was time to disclose the real price, he called out mediapersons by name in the audience, asking if the price was fine, rolling his eyes comically at their responses.
No, it was not perfect. He seemed very rushed in the middle when he was discussing the specs and features of the device (did he have the embargo time in mind?), a video call with a doctor was undone by poor bandwidth, many felt he prolonged the revealing of the true price a tad too long (it culminated with children hitting a box with hammers – a bit far fetched, really), and at the very end, he made a blooper unworthy of a founder of a brand when he said that the price of the Yunicorn after the first month would be Rs 14,999 – it would actually be Rs 13,499. The error would lead to a flurry of PR activity after the event and a number of derisory tweets from several people.
But all said and done, if the Yunicorn reflected a new approach from YU when it came to product design and UI, then Rahul Sharma's performance on stage reflected a new approach from the company's founder. One which was essentially closer to the man himself. In some ways, it was a coming out party, with the YU founder finally deciding to be himself rather than a tech CEO on stage. The best indication of this came immediately after the presentation ended. At the previous launch of a YU product – the Yutopia – Rahul had seemed like a person relieved after having done a strenuous task – he would tell us that he felt as if he had released an 'art film' and was hoping it would succeed at the box office.
This time, he hung around, talking to mediapersons, a smile never too far from his face. And when we got a chance to speak to him, his first reaction on being asked how he felt was:
"This was fun, man."
No, it had not been perfect. And he did not seem aware that he had got the price of his own product wrong. But when Rahul Sharma says "man," you can be sure he is happy. Actually, YU can also be sure he is happy.
Pun intended.

text: Bryan and I spent an amazing five nights in Playa Mujeres, a town 25 miles north of Cancun. I planned this trip over a year ago knowing that the winters in Rhode Island are awfully tough to get through without some hope of warm weather in sight. Here are just a few of the pictures I took at the resort. We chose not to leave and to just enjoy what was there!

Published in issue #5 of DIVE magazine
I love DIVE magazine in its new incarnation, very different to all the other diving magazines out there, more like a photography focused coffee table book. So I was very please to see that they've used one of my silky shark photos on page 9 of the latest edition, albeit cropped and uncredited, to illustrate an article about the listing of these stunning but endangered animals under CITES Appendix II. Very pleased that they've finally been given some protection, very please to see the image published in such an excellent photo journal!

Three month old Anchal died on Wednesday as she and her mother were savagely beaten by seven men incensed that she had broken a centuries-old village tradition which humiliates members of India's lowest and most oppressed caste.
Saroj Lal, 25, was first turned away from the handpump in Adrouni village in Madhya Pradesh, when she approached wearing slippers. A higher caste villager told her Dalits were dirty and not allowed to draw water without first washing their hands and feet.
He began abusing her over her low caste until she left to complain at the local police station along with her husband and daughter. According to police, the villager, known as Makhan, called six of his friends and headed them off en route. He attacked Saroj, grabbed her baby and threw her to the floor, killing her instantly.
Police superintendent Shivpuri Sharma said the men would be charged with murder, but were now on the run. "We have started a hunt for the accused and they will be arrested soon. A case of murder and attempt to murder has been filed against them," he said.
Caste is one of the most incendiary issues in Indian society and the dalits or untouchables suffer the worst discrimination and violence because of it. Dalit boys are often thrashed for looking at higher caste girls, women are beaten for "polluting" wells by drinking from them, and others have been attacked for merely casting their shadow on high caste temple walls.
The issue is expected to feature prominently in the forthcoming election where the pro-Dalit Bahujan Samaj Party, which rules Uttar Pradesh, may hold the balance of power.

Break Free from Worry
You wake up in the morning feeling uneasy; almost a trembling in your stomach. What causes this bad feeling, you ask yourself? Could it be the difficult conversation you need to have with your spouse? Is it that you're required to lay off someone at your company? Or are you worried about having enough money to educate your children or retire comfortably? Your mind goes from one worry to another nonstop! Then you start all over. What can you do?
The brain is designed to worry first and think through situations later. We tend to scan the environment for threat, even when we meet friendly people. In fact, you have the tendency to perceive threat in another person's posture. The brain reacts to these signals and to other negative input more strongly than positive news. Ironically, this negative bias has served us by keeping us alive. When our ancestors were in hunter-gatherer tribes and saw some tan object in a distance, to mistake the tan rock for a lion only cost a few calories. To mistake a lion for a tan rock means you ended up lunch. Fewer of our happy-go-lucky ancestors survived long enough to pass their genes. We are the decedents of our quick- to- see- danger ancestors.
Even today, if you are a soldier fighting a war, this still gives you an advantage for survival. Unfortunately, most of our worries aren't the kind that require that type of immediate negative reaction. In fact, your tendency to chronically worry can have a negative impact your physical and mental health. Chronic worry can raise your cholesterol level, blood pressure, lower your immune system, as well as lessening your quality of emotional life.
The good news is you don't have to be a victim of your genes or learned habits of worry. Neither do you have to take drugs to move past the worry. The neuroscience research is filled with studies that demonstrate how to calm your worries and rumination with simple brain change tools.
One powerful tool is meditation. Years ago Richard Davidson, researcher at the University of Wisconsin Medical School, studied happiness. One of his subjects was a Tibetan monk whose happiness factor was far greater than the other subjects. Davidson was curious how this monk's brain worked. He placed Matthieu Ricard through a number of brain imaging studies. What Davidson discovered was because Ricard meditated, the data from EEG's and FMRI showed a calm and stable brain even when exposed to sudden bursts of loud noises. Because Davidson could look deeper into the brain with his studies, he found that Ricard's amygdala, which normally is a part of the brain that signals danger, remained quiet during these times of stress. The amygdala sends signals to the right prefrontal cortex to send danger signals. This part of Ricard's brain was quieter. The monk's explanation was that he had meditated many hours in training to be a monk.
Davidson took another group of monk's to study and found similar results. He wondered if the normal person could learn to calm the mind without spending hours meditating like the monks. He took a group of chemical plant workers and taught them how to do basic mindfulness meditation. In over a 12 week period, meditating 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week, this group reported less stress and worry and more periods of calm. Those who observed them noticed how much calmer they were as well. The FMRI's showed the amygdala quieted as well the right prefrontal cortex. Further studies have replicated these findings and demonstrated a person can achieve these same results in a short time.
How do you meditate? Find a comfortable chair and sit down. Make sure your feet are on the floor. Place your hands comfortably on your lap. You can look with a soft gaze about 3 feet in front of you or close your eyes. Breathe normally. Begin to count your exhalations. Start with the first breath and give it the number 1 until you have counted 5 breaths. Begin again. Any time your mind wanders, whether you think about dinner, your schedule, or some self-judgment, just simply think the work, "thinking," and let go of the thought and return to counting your breaths. We suggest begin by doing this meditation 5 minutes. You can set a timer to let you know when the time is up. Do this each day at approximately the same time. If you want at the end of the week, add one minute. The benefits of mediation are cumulative. Notice the subtle changes that begin to take place.
Upcoming Activities:
Carol and Bill will be teaching in Esalen July 26-31 2015. Join them in an amazing experience of regeneration and life change: Life at the Edge of Possibility
Carol and Bill are working on a new book that reveals new strategies based in neuroscience that work for overcoming worry.
As you look toward the summer for some fun and recreation, take some time to review your goals for the year and consider any adjustments you need.

It's not easy to sing, take off your clothes and dance all at the same time, so we've got to give Fergie credit for handling her wardrobe malfunction like a total pro.
The singer was performing her first solo single in years at Sunday night's American Music Awards when she got into a bit of a pickle.
Just as she was finishing up her new track L.A. Love at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, the mum-of-one tried to take her jacket off to reveal her skimpy leotard underneath, but unfortunately it was stuck to her bum.
Fortunately it was just a matter of seconds before she pulled yanked the material away and carried on doing her thing.
Other performers at the ceremony included the evening's host Pitbull, Lorde, Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez - who wept as she sang The Heart Wants What It Wants.
Meanwhile, One Direction - who also took to the stage to perform Night Changes - were thrilled to pick up the trophies for Best Pop/Rock Band and Best Pop/Rock Album for Midnight Memories, as well as the prestigious Artist of the Year award.
Picking up their third honour of the night, Liam Payne said: "I can't believe we've won three, it's amazing, it's so cool."
Iggy Azalea took home two awards, Best Rap/Hip-Hop Album for The New Classic and Best Rap/Hip-Hop Artist, and gave an emotional speech when she picked up the first honour.
The Australian said: "This award is the first award I've ever won in my entire life, and means so much to me that it is for best hip-hop, because that's what inspired me to move to American and pursue my dreams.
"It's what helped me when I was a teenager to escape and to get through my life and to better times."
Taylor Swift dined with a handsome man and played with fire during her show-opening performance of 'Blank Space' and she was later honoured with the newly-created Dick Clark Award for Excellence.
During her acceptance speech, the 24-year-old beauty - who recently removed her music from Spotify- appeared to take a swipe at the streaming service.
She said: "What you did by going out and investing in music and albums is you are saying that you believe in the same thing that I believe in: that music is valuable and music should be consumed in albums and albums should be consumed as art and appreciated."
Other big winners on the night included Beyonce, who was honoured with Best Soul/R&B Female Artist and Best Soul/R&B Female Album for BEYONCE and Katy Perry, who accepted the Best Pop/Rock Female Artist and Single of the Year for 'Dark Horse' via video link from Australia.

The Little Green Dress Project
Wear it then compost it!
As part of this summer's Earth Art exhibit at VanDusen Botanical Garden, environmental artist, Nicole Dextras will present The Little Green Dress Projekt -- an outdoor installation of 28 organic dresses.
Dextras' project reworks the fashion adage that every woman should own a little black dress, only this time with an ecological twist. By promoting public awareness of how the clothing industry impacts the environment, and offering an unconventional alternative to synthetic fabrics, she proposes that everyone should own at least one item of clothing that was produced in a sustainable manner.
For this reason, the dresses on view in the Garden will be made entirely from organic, locally sourced materials. Constructed from over 100 leaves and flowers, each of the 28 designs (the number is based on the lunar cycle), will reference the classic sleeveless shift, first introduced by Coco Channel.
Made-to-measure for specific women, from fashionistas to gardeners (all chosen for their support and involvement in eco-fashion), each dress will uniquely reflect the personality of their muses.
As with Dextras' previous "Weedrobes" series, each sculpture will be photographed and then left to decompose over time.
Proving, we suppose, another adage that all classic styles are eventually recycled.
(* Photo above is a leaf dress created by artist Susan Lenz.)

New REACH-IT version up and running
ECHA's dossier submission and communication tool, REACH-IT, has successfully been updated and is again available for companies to use.
Helsinki, 7 November 2017 – The update (version 3.3) does not affect the submission of registration dossiers and mainly builds up ECHA's capacity to deal with the incoming dossiers for the 31 May 2018 deadline.
Some new features are included:
- More transparency in joint submissions: All members of the joint submission have an overview of the data requirements (REACH Annexes VI-X) associated with each member's last successful submission and an indication if the lead or members have opted out from the information submitted jointly in the lead dossier. This information is on the Joint Submission page of REACH-IT.
- New online submission for downstream user notifications of authorised uses (Art. 66 of REACH) and reports for unsupported uses (Art. 38(1) of REACH), replacing the web form.
- New online submission for substance in articles notifications (Art. 7(2) of REACH), replacing the web form.
All support web pages, manuals and relevant documents have been revised to reflect the changes. If you need further help or have any questions about the update, contact ECHA.
The terms and conditions of REACH-IT have also been updated to include further clarification on the proprietary rights related to information in the system, which might belong to third parties and, therefore, its disclosure may require permission (see point 7 (a) of the Terms and Conditions of use and service of REACH-IT). When logging in to REACH-IT for the first time after the update, you need to accept these terms and conditions.

Alpine Electronics Now Shipping New Type-R Thin Subwoofers
Alpine Electronics Now Shipping New Type-R Thin Subwoofers
TORRANCE, Calif., Aug. 3, 2010 – Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. today announced the shipping of its much anticipated Type-R Thin subwoofers. The new SWR-T10 10-inch and SWR-T12 12-inch Type-R Thin subwoofers are Alpine's first foray into the specialized market of thin subwoofers.
The Type-R Thin subwoofers are not traditional subwoofers just packaged in a shallow form factor. Instead, the Type-R Thin subwoofers have been totally designed from the ground up, redefining how thin subwoofers are engineered and perform. Their unique design earned them a CES Innovations 2010 Design and Engineering Award for the In-Vehicle Audio category.
"Alpine's traditional Type-R subwoofers are popular and trusted among car audio enthusiasts," said Mike Anderson, assistant vice president, sales, Alpine Electronics.
"As an extension of the Type-R lineup, it was essential that the Type-R Thins live up to the performance of the traditional Type-R subwoofers. The new SWR-T10 and SWR-T12 exceed this expectation, and users will not be disappointed."
