Passionate About Internet
Though I never had a lesson in programming or design, I was running an e-shop on my own for five years. I bet on a niche segment of design and luxury home accessories. Domain ame mandarinka.cz (mandarin orange citrus) was supposed to reflect vision to give consumers a chance to furnish their living houses with just a small, colorful and fresh piece of home in contrast to unified sortiment from wholesalers. Reaching some limits, I later remarkably contributed to a success of brand new e-shop Tchibo.cz, today's one of the most profitable online shops in my country.
2004 – 2009
E-shop Owner
It all started as a hobby. But soon, it turned into a full-time job. I spent five years with running my own e-commerce business. By far, it was the longest stay with one company in my life.
Mandarinka.cz was a niche e-shop with design and modern home accessories of brands like Alessi, ASA Selection, A.S Creation, Guzzini or Zack. Throughout the years, company grew into a chain of five e-shops mostly based on brands basis.
Being only the second e-shop of its kind in the market, mandarinka.cz was a phenomenon of its time. It achieved an extra-ordinary publicity in both offline and online media. It was able to address two hard-to-be-addressed and top-sought target segments in online world – early adopters and women.
Disclaimer: Domain mandarinka.cz is out of my possession today.← Experience in Marketing
2009 – 2010
E-commerce Manager
In late 2009, I became the first member of newly found e-commerce department in Tchibo Praha company. You may know Tchibo is more than coffee. It also runs a unique concept of limited-time-available consumer goods sold in theme collections on a weekly basis.
Though facing strict limitations (limited pricing policy competence, no logistics competence or product portfolio adjustments forbidden), I was lucky to get a free hand how to build marketing strategy and spend generous budget unless I achieve a business goal – to increase turnover by 80 %. Local e-commere market was growing by praised 10 %.
I developed long-term brand strategy – to build sub-premium brand utilizing unique selling concept that is backed up with both positively perceived coffee brand and chain of brick-and-mortar shops.
Within nine months, we set all internal and co-operative agencies processes. We strictly concentrated on performance campaigns in communication and changed market standards.
Result? One hundred twenty three per cent turnover increase in year-to-year comparison in 2010. Nowadays, Tchibo.cz's annual earning is 8-digit figure in CZK (local currency).
Disclaimer: Starting from September, 2010, I have been an external consultant to Tchibo.cz.Consultancy Services →

Former Italian PM Berlusconi gets 1-year reduced sentence for fraud
The court also ruled on Friday that Berlusconi is forbidden from holding any government post for three years.
His lawyer called the decision "incredible" and is hoping for a different ruling upon appeal.
Berlusconi decried what he claimed was a politicized verdict stemming from what he views as left-leaning magistrates while speaking on his Mediaset television station Friday.
"If you can't count on impartial judges in a country, the country becomes uncivil, barbarian and unlivable and stops being a democracy. It's sad, but the situation of our country today is that way," he said.
The likelihood of Berlusconi actually spending time behind bars remains to be seen, as verdicts in Italy are only finalized after passing through two stages of appeal. The fact that three-years were immediately shed from his sentence has served to deflate his opponents hoping that charges would eventually stick after the ex-PM's long and seemingly never-ending legal troubles.
The statute of limitations in the current case is set to expire at some point next year.
Berlusconi and 10 other defendants were charged with a scheme to purchase the television rights for US movies to be broadcast on the three time premier's private television networks via a complex web of offshore companies. The prosecution says Berlusconi and his partner Fedele Confalonieri then falsely declared payments to their Mediaset TV company to avoid paying taxes.
They were also accused of artificially inflating prices for the TV rights of some 3,000 firms which were relicensed on Berlusconi's networks, earning 250 million euro in illegal profits in the process.
The ruling in protracted 6-year legal battle comes two days after Berlusconi, 76, announced he would not run to reclaim his former position as Italy's prime minister in upcoming parliamentary elections.

Berlusconi tendered his resignation last November amid Italy's spiraling debt crisis.
The verdict on Friday marks the first time Berlusconi has been convicted in court despite a series of past trials that ended in acquittal or were thrown out on legal technicalities.
Italy's longest-serving premier held office for three terms, totaling nine-and-a-half years. He will likely be better remembered for his association with a string of high-profile sex scandals than for his political career.
A chain of allegations and dubious reports have surrounded Berlusconi since 2007, but the most notorious case erupted in 2010 when a 17-year-old Moroccan dancer named Karima – known as 'Ruby the Heart Stealer' – revealed that Berlusconi gave her 7,000 euros and jewelry.
The dancer denied having sexual intercourse with Berlusconi, but vividly described the scandalous private parties thrown by the media tycoon.
Karima El Mahroug (AFP Photo / Joe Klamar)
Ruby's now infamous erotic ritual, whereby nude women formed a ring around Berlusconi and/or his friends in some form of aquatic orgy, permanently seared the phrase "bunga-bunga" into the popular consciousness.
All of his highly publicized PR moments were not equally pleasant. In December 2009, an enraged local with a history of mental illness lobbed a statuette of the Milan cathedral at Berlusconi's head while he was making a public appearance in his home city. The then prime minister suffered two broken teeth and a broken nose and was hospitalized for treatment.
Apart from raucous bashes or getting raucously bashed, Berlusconi was long accused of using his media empire to bolster his political career, and was regularly accused of bribery, corruption and ties to the mob.
In October 2009, the media mogul claimed he was "the most legally persecuted man of all times." Berlusconi claimed to have subjected to over 2,500 court hearings, costing him 200 million euro in the process.

British Sovereign Gold Coins minted during the reigns of Edward VII (left image) and George V (right image) are probably the most widely owned and recognized gold coins in the world -- so much so that the U.S. Army included them as part of its special forces survival pack for a number of years. Over 600 million of the St. George design Sovereigns were minted from 1816 to 1932, and other types come in a high state of preservation. Still today, an original bag of one thousand occasionally shows up in the marketplace.
The Edwardian era, named for Edward VII (left), differed sharply from the rigid and puritanical Victorian age which preceded it. Edward VII was the eldest son of Queen Victoria, and ruled Britain from 1901-1910. Queen Victoria insisted on an incredibly strict regimen for Edward, while never allowing his involvement in political affairs. As a result, Edward led a rebellious, indulgent lifestyle that many felt would compromise his ability to be an effective monarch. To the chagrin of his critics, Edward ruled peacefully and effectively during his reign, saving Britain from a budgetary crisis and strengthening relationships with European powers. Edward's reign was a brief and happy time of peace and prosperity for Britain before the shadow of World War I descended upon Europe. He died in 1910 of a heart attack.
His second son, George V (right with wife, Queen Mary) succeeded his rule in 1910. George led Britain through World War I and the negative effects brought on by the Depression of 1929-1931. English Historian Robert Lacey describes George: ". . . as his official biographer felt compelled to admit, King George V was distinguished 'by no exercise of social gifts, by no personal magnetism, by no intellectual powers. He was neither a wit nor a brilliant raconteur, neither well-read nor well-educated, and he made no great contribution to enlightened social converse. He lacked intellectual curiosity and only late in life acquired some measure of artistic taste.' He was, in other words, exactly like most of his subjects. He discovered a new job for modern kings and queens to do -- representation." George V and his wife, Queen Mary, made the monarchy a symbol of conservative, middle-class virtue. George relinquished his German titles and adopted the name of Windsor for the British royal house.
The first British Sovereign Gold Coin was minted under Tudor King Henry VII in 1489 (not shown). It gets its name from that first mintage which depicts the monarch seated majestically on the throne facing outward. The current design type with St. George slaying a dragon on the reverse and the monarch on the front was introduced nearly 200 years ago in 1816 under George III.
The Sovereign was minted almost continuously from that date until 1932, when Britain went off the gold standard. Minting was resumed in 1957, as a bullion coin, with Queen Elizabeth on the obverse. As such, it holds the distinction of being the only pre-1933 coin to carry over to the modern era.

Neil, I am not sure what you are asking since FGAC and the procedure invoker rights are two separate features that can operate without the presence of the other or in the presence of the other.
You set a procedure/package to run with CURRENT_USER or DEFINER (default) rights at creation time.

Hays officially has been announced the winner of the MOKAN Take Charge Challenge. In an energy-saving challenge among Hays, Hutchinson, Warrensburg, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., Hays won with 2,297 points.
The challenge ran from Aug. 1 to Jan. 31. Each city had participants, which ranged from businesses to churches to schools. Hays had approximately 20 participants.
Points are figured based on tasks completed by various companies within the city. Tasks include attending Take Charge Challenge events, educating employees and upgrading equipment to meet Energy Star standards.
The city was awarded $10,000 from the Climate and Energy Project to be used for a sustainability project.
Northwestern Printers won first place within the Hays challenge with a score of 7,570. The Thomas More Prep-Marian administration building came in second place with 6,740 points, followed by Holy Family Elementary and Nex-Tech No. 1.
"We were very honored to be asked to be a part of this program," said Marvin Rack, owner of Northwestern Printers. "At the very first informational meeting, I told Michael and Sandy of Midwest Energy we were in. We started the next day, and this is probably why we had somewhat of an edge on winning."
Throughout the contest, Northwestern Printers' employees were taught about the importance of conservation by listening to speeches and attending seminars.
"We actually made change to conserve energy through the installation of new windows, weather stripping, insulation, lighting and water conservation devices," Rack said.
Michael Volker, director of regulatory and energy services at Midwest Energy, said the entertainment of the challenge was fueled by the competition between TMP and Northwestern Printers.
"TMP and Northwestern Printers are going back-to-back," he said. "It's fun to see the competition between them. That really is the only entertaining part of the competition, because no one else is even close."
Rack believes the competition should be credited for Hays' win.
"I feel that if it was not for the competition of the TMP group, Hays would not have had such a secure finish," he said. "There were many times we feed off each other. They deserve the credit of having changed the attitudes of many through the education they provided their students. I am sure they deserve the win more than us."
Northwestern Printers has been awarded $5,000 from Midwest Energy as a result of the win.
"Midwest Energy and Hays are the real winners of this contest by having initiated and sponsored it," Rack said.

Moien! Today I made the first official step in obtaining Luxembourgish residency. (Well, apart from the whole "packing my bags and flying to Luxembourg" part.) I made my déclaration d'arrivée, or declaration of arrival, at the Hôtel de Ville!
Contrary to popular belief, the déclaration d'arrivée consists of more than just standing on the steps of the town hall and declaring, "I HAVE ARRIVED." It's an important -- though admittedly virtually painless -- process that must be completed within three business days of your arrival in the country. In order to make my déclaration d'arrivée, I had to show up to the Hôtel de Ville with four important documents:
- my passport
- my autorisation de séjour temporaire, which was mailed to me over the summer (and for which, I had to provide a copy of my passport, of my acceptance to the university, and of my criminal history -- talk about thorough!!)
- my contrat de bail, or housing contract
- the proof of my enrollment in the University of Luxembourg
Naturally, I only had three of the four.
So back to the house I went. And back to the Hôtel de Ville I triumphantly marched, contrat de bail in hand (as well as literally every other piece of paper I'd received, just in case).
I sat quietly -- still a little embarrassed about having forgotten the correct documents -- while the government official photocopied and stapled and stamped until the pile of papers on the desk had multiplied by three. In exchange for my documents (and a six euro fee), I received a certificat de résidence, or residence certificate, and a receipt of my arrival in Esch-sur-Alzette.
Lest you think that the quest for residency could be resolved in a day, let me assure you that this was but step one of a multi-step process in order to acquire an elusive -- but all too necessary -- titre de séjour. Next up? A tuberculosis test at the local Centre Médico-Social, a medical exam from a (hopefully English-speaking) Luxembourgish physician, and a trip to the Ministre des Affaires Etrangères et Européennes to hand in all my paperwork. Because the paperwork itself can take up to three months to be processed, it's best to get all this done as soon as possible. My goal is to turn everything in by Friday ... stay tuned for the results!
But for now, Äddi!

VOTE KIDS FIRST...1-4-5... ON TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 2-9 pm
This year I am running with Theresa Minutillo and Ruthy McAllister on the Kids First slate. Hoboken needs real leadership on the Board of Education. Please check out our website at KidsFirst2009.com.
Ruth McAllister, Theresa Minutillo, Maureen Sullivan...the Kids First 2009 team!
Maureen Sullivan: Fighting for Excellence in Education
My name is Maureen Sullivan and I am fighting for excellence in education in Hoboken. I would like your vote on Election Day! The Hoboken School Board election is April 15 and polls are open from 2 to 9 p.m.
My son, Timothy, is 10 and my daughter, Julia, is 8. They are both students at Connors Primary School, where they participate in the gifted and talented program run in conjunction with Johns Hopkins University. They previously attended Wallace Primary and Mile Square Pre-K program.
As president of the Connors Parent-Teacher Organization and a member of the School Leadership Committee, an advisory body to the principal, I have an inside view of what goes on in our schools. I have seen the successes and the failures of the system up close.
I am not afraid to speak up to the administration or take my case to the school board. I know I spoke for many other parents when I demanded safeguards for 3-year-olds when they first entered Brandt Middle School and more stringent oversight of a lax Saturday U enrichment program. When the city decided to close the high school pool to local children last summer, I stepped in and made the calls necessary to get our kids swimming again.
I have also spent countless hours promoting our schools at open houses and community information events. I have stood up for our students when city officials have made headlines by bashing our schools.
When I see yet another bloated budget or when I hear that yet another administrator has been added while class sizes get larger, I know why I am running for a seat on the school board. I will never forget that I am spending your money and educating our children!
Here's my latest letter to the Editor (April 13 Hoboken Reporter):
Vote Sullivan for an Independent Voice
Dear Editor:
When we the voters go to the polls Tuesday, we will be asked to vote on a $56.3 million budget for our schools. Last year, we were asked to approve a $52.9 million budget. That means the board and superintendent want a 6.4% increase in spending, although they want you to think they have come in under the 4% cap mandated by Trenton.
Per-pupil spending will hit an all-time high of nearly $25,000. That's up nearly 50% in three years. At this rate, our per-pupil spending will be $37,500 three years from now. Some of the people running this year are the same ones who got us into this mess. I intend to clean it up.
I am running for a seat on the school board because I think we need someone who is independent, involved and informed. As an independent, I am not beholden to any political puppet master. As an involved parent of two children at Connors, I know the successes and failures of the system and how to make the needed changes right from the beginning. And I have made it my business to analyze the budget and cut through the hype to figure out what's really going on with our tax dollars. Unlike some candidates, I was going to board meetings long before I decided to run for a seat.
The next year will be an important one for our public schools. Negotiations on a new three-year contract with the teachers' union are under way, giving the board a chance to increase the school day, rein in health care costs that are rising at 23% a year, and find ways to better reward the best teachers. A committee is reviewing the curriculum, and there are danger signs that the schools will drop the traditional approach that is the system's big selling point. And, finally, the board will start considering whether to renew the superintendent's contract.
Yes, I am a booster of our schools. I wouldn't send my children to schools that I thought were inferior. I have a vested interest in fighting for excellence in our schools. Since my son entered Mile Square pre-K in 2001, I have worked behind the scenes at Wallace and Connors to improve the quality of education for all our children. I have also been unafraid to speak out at board meetings when I have seen the interests of our students undermined by politics and bureaucratic inertia.
After growing up in Union County and graduating with a degree in American Government from Georgetown University, I began a 20-year career in journalism that led me to work in South Africa and Hong Kong. I learned not to accept the official line, to dig deep for the truth and to "follow the money."
With your help, I will put those skills to good use on the Hoboken School Board. I ask for your vote on Election Day, April 15. Thank you.
To the editor of the Hoboken Reporter:
It's easy to see why so many people have such a negative impression of Hoboken's public schools. Mayor Dave Roberts is pushing the board of education to spend $24,000 on an outside consultant to develop "revolutionary methods" that will ensure that five years down the road "our children are going to have the best education possible."
He talks of families leaving Hoboken "because they don't have confidence [in the public schools]. His sentiments are obvious: the schools aren't any good and newcomers are absolutely right to ignore them.
School board president Carmelo Garcia comes right out and says it: "We can't accept being just mediocre, we have to be great."
I'm not looking for hometown boosterism. I don't want rah-rah cheerleading. I want our elected officials to stop bad-mouthing our schools, denigrating the choice made by hundreds of parents, and demoralizing our wonderful teachers. Does an urban district, an Abbott district, a district where 75% of the children get free or reduced-price lunches have an uphill battle? Yes, but we're winning.
Most of our elected officials don't send their children to the public schools. Since they aren't telling you what a terrific education your child can get here, then allow me. I've sent my two children to Hoboken public schools since I moved here almost five years ago. I would never send my children to something less than an excellent school. I could not be happier with the education they are receiving at Wallace Primary School.
The first reason is the teachers. I wish the Mayor would spend the day in the classrooms of Tammi Oberstein, Sharon Cantone, Christy Vespa and Elise Rosenberg, some of the teachers who are educating my children. They are dynamic, creative, talented teachers who deserve nothing but praise for their hard work, dedication and success in nurturing Hoboken's children. Hoboken can hire the very best teachers because people want to live here and the board pays top salaries. Many of the Wallace teachers get their early experience at the city's charter and private schools and continue to privately tutor children at those other schools who need extra help in the basics.
Next is the curriculum. Wallace offers a traditional academic curriculum that emphasizes reading, phonics, math, science spelling and writing. The children get homework each night and wear uniforms to school. Parents are not told that their children will learn to read someday, somehow, or that memorizing multiplication tables is unnecessary. They are also pushed to take on new challenges: my third-grader is learning Power Point on the computer.
Then there are the facilities and extra-curricular activities. Wallace has a gym and a stage, science labs, library, cafeteria, a new playground. Principal Charles Tortorella has been instrumental in building the theater program, expanding the after-school tutoring and bringing math and reading clubs to the school as well as help from the Wiley publishing company.
For the record, I do not work for the district. I am not related to anyone who works for the district or the city. I was not asked to write this letter. I am not supporting any particular candidate in the upcoming board of ed election.
Mayor Roberts says that in the future, families will move here "just so they can enroll their sons and daughters in what are going to be the best public schools in the state."
Sorry, Mr. Mayor, we're way ahead of you.
Maureen Sullivan

text: Share SHARE PRINT UK Supreme Court: same-sex partners pension rights 31 July 2017 As UK Supreme Court rules that same-sex partners are entitled to same pension rights as heterosexuals, what actions do employers and trustees need to take? The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that same sex couples should receive the same pension rights in respect of survivor benefits as those in heterosexual marriages. The Court decided that an exemption in the Equality Act 2010, which currently allows schemes to limit benefits for civil partners and same sex spouses to post 5 December 2005 pensionable service, is discriminatory and in breach of EU equality laws. Notwithstanding the UK's decision to leave the EU, it seems unlikely that any post-Brexit government will look to reverse this decision. So, employers and trustees should be considering the implications for their schemes now. Mr John Walker was a member of the Innospec Ltd private sector defined benefit pension scheme. He built up benefits from the beginning of his employment in 1980 until his early retirement in 2003. Mr Walker entered into a civil partnership on 23 January 2006, after the law was changed on 5 December 2005 to permit same sex civil partnerships. He and his partner subsequently married once the law was changed again to permit same sex marriage. Under the rules of his pension scheme, if Mr Walker died before his husband, his husband would be entitled to a pension of around £1,000 per annum. However, if Mr Walker had married a woman, she would have been entitled to a spouse's pension of about £45,700 per annum. The discrepancy arose because, whilst The Equality Act 2010 makes it illegal to discriminate on the grounds of an individual's civil or same sex partnership status, there is an exception for pension schemes. Until now, this exception has made it lawful to discriminate in respect of benefits accrued before the law introducing same sex civil partnerships was introduced - i.e. 5 December 2005 (*). Mr Walker brought a case against his employer in 2011 alleging that his pension scheme's practice breached EU anti-discrimination legislation. His case went all the way to the Supreme Court, which handed down its judgment on 12 July. The Court agreed with Mr Walker holding that the pension scheme exemption under The Equality Act 2010 was never valid and that, on his death, Mr Walker's husband would be entitled to a full spouse's pension. (*) In practice, where schemes limit benefits for civil partners and same sex spouses in line with the minimum requirements under the Equality Act, members of public and private pension schemes are treated differently. This is illustrated in the table below, which splits same sex marriage and civil partnership as the latter was introduced under the Civil Partnership Act 2004 and the former under the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013. The minimum pension requirements are the same. COMMENT In short, pension schemes must now provide equal benefits for opposite sex spouses, same sex spouses and civil partners. Whilst many schemes have decided, voluntarily, to give same sex civil partners and same sex spouses the same benefits as heterosexual married couples, many more relied on the Equality Act exemption. The DWP, which opposed Mr Walker's case alongside Innospec, argued that the costs involved in requiring pension schemes to equalise entitlements retrospectively would be £100 million for private sector schemes and a further £20m for public sector schemes. NEXT STEPS Pension schemes that limit benefits for civil partners and same sex spouses, including those that closed before 5 December 2005, will need to take some action. The exact nature of that action will depend on the type of scheme (see the table below) and scheme provisions, but considerations include: Amendments to trust deed and rules and member communications. Re-calculations (with appropriate back payments) for spouse's pensions that have already come into payment for civil partners and same sex spouses. Reviews of previous claims for such pensions that were rejected because the relevant pension scheme member had no post 5 December 2005 pensionable service. Schemes which have bought out benefits will need to ensure that they are fully discharged in respect of liabilities for civil partners and same sex spouses. We hope you find this article of interest.

JLT's Documents & Technical Services Team can review and amend Rules and prepare member communications and can, where required, quote a fixed fee.

In this article, we will review the potential options and practical solutions for on-site evaluation of concrete strength. Concrete (compressive) strength is by far the most important property of concrete. It represents the mechanical properties of concrete; for example, the 28 days compressive strength of concrete cylinders is the key parameter in most design codes (ACI 318-14, CSA A23.3-14). Strength is also considered (at least in the old school) a key factor for durability performance.
On-site evaluation of concrete strength is a main challenge in the condition assessment of existing infrastructure. Owners and managers of such facilities prefer non-destructive methods to avoid further damage to an already struggling structure.
1- Compression Test On Concrete Cores
Coring and testing for strength might the first and most reliable solution. In this case, concrete core is taken from the existing structure. The core needs cutting (sawing) and surface preparation. The core is tested for compressive strength.
1) This is the most reliable method to estimate the compressive strength. The method is relatively fast.
1) It is destructive. Not only it damages concrete integrity, it might affect reinforcing bars in RC structures. Rebar locating tools are needed to avoid this problem.
2) Selecting test locations can be difficult. Selecting the best location of cores is relatively subjective.
3) The locations of cores needs to be repaired.
4) Coring is not an option for owners of important structures, especially when there are concerns about further damaging the structure.
2- Pull Out Test
The concept behind this method is that the tensile force required to pull a metal disk, together with a layer of concrete, from the surface to which it is attached, is related to the compressive strength of the concrete.The pull out test is normally used for early diagnosis of strength problems. However, it can be used to evaluate the strength of concrete in existing structures. Pull out testing involves attaching a small piece of equipment to the exterior bolt, nut, screw or fixing. This is then pulled to the designated stress load level to determine how strong and secure the fixing is.
1) Relatively easy to use.
2) If relationship to strength is established, the mothod can deliver robust test results.
1) It involves crushing and damaging concrete
3- Rebound Hammer
The methods based on the rebound principle consist of measuring the rebound of a spring driven hammer mass after its impact with concrete. The test has been widely used, since its introduction in 1948. The main reason behind its popularity, is its simplicity, and convenient of use for field applications. Rebound hammer is used to evaluate the surface hardness. Malhotra (2004) argues that "there is little apparent theoretical relationship between the strength of concrete and the rebound number of the hammer. However, within limits, empirical correlations have been established between strength properties and the rebound number."
1) It is easy to use for most field applications.
2) The test can be used to study the uniformity of concrete
1) The method is very subjective
2) surface condition, presence of rebar, presence of sub-surface voids can affect the test results
4- Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) is an effective method for quality control of concrete materials, and detecting damages in structural components. The UPV methods have been traditionally used for the quality control of materials, mostly homogeneous materials such as metals and welded connections. With the recent advancement in transducer technology, the test has been widely accepted in testing concrete materials. The test procedure has been standardized as "Standard Test Method for Pulse Velocity through Concrete" (ASTM C 597, 2016). The concept behind the technology is measuring the travel time of acoustic waves in a medium, and correlating them to the elastic properties and density of the material. Travel time of ultrasonic waves reflects internal condition of test area. Some researchers have tried to develop a relationship between the strength and wave speed.
1) UPV can be used to detect other sub-surface deficiencies
1) The method is affected by presence of rebar, voids, and cracks.
2) There is no enough results for assessing the reliability of the method in the field.
5- Combined Methods
Combined methods involves a combination of NDT methods for predicting the on-site strength of concrete. The combination of UPV and Rebound hammer has been studied by several researcher. The combined methods often deliver more comprehensive results. The improvement of the accuracy of the strength prediction according is achieved by the use of correction factors taking into account the influence of cement type, cement content, petrologic aggregate type, fine aggregate fraction, and aggregate maximum size. The accuracy of the combination of rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity results in improved accuracy in estimating the compressive strength of concrete (Hannachi and Guetteche, 2012)

The Romans are tweeting. Whatever next?
Apparently, Roman experts at Tullie House Museum in Carlisle have decided to post a daily message on Twitter, purporting to be one of the "thousands of Roman soldiers marching in to occupy Cumbria in the winter of 72/73 AD". They call it iTweetus.
What a marvellous idea. The name "is a play on words of the celebrated novel I, Claudius, written in the form of an autobiography of a real Roman Emperor, Claudius I". (It's a sad day when we have to have I, Claudius explained to us. And only people who don't need it explained would know that the emperor Claudius was technically "the first", since a second, more obscure emperor of the same name reigned over 200 years later.)
Unfortunately, iTweetus doesn't have the wit and wisdom of Robert Graves, which is surely needed to pull off a stunt like this.
Daily Diary of a Roman Soldier
Our Roman soldier, Marcus Julius Latinus, takes his name from a fragment of a writing tablet dredged from a latrine deposit at Roman Carlisle. Probably dumped there in around AD 103/5, when the first fort was demolished, it must have lain in the latrine for quite some time if it was delivered to iTweetus "in the winter of 72/73 AD". He really ought to have taken better care of his correspondence.
The whole enterprise is evidently intended to be educational: the kind of thing that our American friends call info-tainment. But, as the daily diary of a Roman soldier, it comes across as rather a contrivance. The museum's Keeper of Archaeology, Tim Padley, evidently hopes that primary school children will follow iTweetus (Westmorland Gazette report). Hence the casual mention of Marcus' height ("At 5ft10" I used to tower over my siblings, in the Roman army my height is standard. I strain to see past others in to the distance") or his age ("At 26, I am not a stranger to the daily routine of a Roman Legionary, being stationed in Deva in the second legion for the past two years"). But who would note such banalities in their wartime diary?
If the exercise is an educational one, quite apart from avoiding factual error ("Our legion, named 'Aditrix Pia Fidelis' is full of good, brave men." It was actually called the Second Adiutrix legion), this old emperor wishes that the Tullie House "Roman experts" would spend a little more time on their grammar (Note: a comma is not a conjunction). And it would be nice if they placed "AD" in its grammatically correct position, before the numeral ("I am Marcus Julius Latinus, a Roman soldier marching on Northern Britannia by order of Emperor Vespasian in the winter of 72AD")
In particular, this old emperor hopes that none of the Cumbrian school children are sharp enough to realise that their Roman friend is using a dating system that wasn't devised until the Sixth Century!

Squash Cannellini Kale Salad with Capers and Parmesan
I just love a hearty salad with loads of flavor and a tangy bite! This recipe fits that bill !!! All for about 250 calories. Perfect with a grilled meat, we had Grilled Pork Chops with our salad. And, it's just right for a warm summer evening!! ;)
1 small Zucchini
1 small Yellow Squash
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 packet Stevia/Truvia
Dash Salt
Dash Pepper
1/4 cup EVOO
1 Tablespoon Capers
1 can ( 15oz) Cannellini Beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups torn Kale
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan
Trim the ends of the Zucchini and Squash, and shave slices with a vegetable peeler or Mandolin slicer. Place in bowl of ice water for 15 minutes to get crisp. Afterwards, drain and pat dry. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, stevia/truvia, salt and pepper. Slowly and steady stream in EVOO whisking constantly til combined. Stir in Capers. Divide Kale, Zucchini, Squash, and Bean into four portions and drizzle with Vinaigrette, then top with Parmesan. Enjoy ;)

About Us
A Little About Vermont Quick Lube
The Pelletier family started the original Pelletier and Son Quick Lube next to Wilkins Harley-Davison. However, they eventually decided they were going to retire from the Quick Lube business in late 2008. In March of 2009, Barb, Ann and John, the owners of Wilkins Harley-Davidson, purchased the property and changed the name to Vermont Quick Lube and Car Wash.
We began as a small oil change business but we have expanded our business by adding more equipment and additional employees. We upgraded our Car Wash and now offer much more than just an oil change! Our goal to continue our evolution in order meet the changing needs of our guests and the demands of ever-changing automotive technology. Vermont Quick Lube specializes in Fast, Friendly, Clean & Complete service. Customer service and satisfaction is our number one goal. At Vermont Quick Lube, we welcome our customers to remain in their vehicle while we perform the service to their car; we are one of a few places in the state of Vermont that uses the pit system so the customer's car never has to leave the ground.

Research Interests
RNA Folding And Chaperone Proteins
Our group combines biochemical and biophysical approaches to study the processes of RNA folding and assembly with proteins. Some of nature's most complex and important enzyme machines are composed of RNA and protein. For these machines to function, each RNA and protein component must fold to its correct three-dimensional structure and all must assemble into a macromolecular complex. The goal of our research is to obtain a quantitative and rigorous molecular understanding of the processes and principles that govern RNA folding and assembly with proteins. We are also interested in RNA chaperones, proteins that are not required for function of the final complex but assist in RNA folding. The approaches used in the lab range from monitoring enzyme activity, which can be a powerful and specific probe for formation of a native structure, to single molecule fluorescence, which allows sensitive detection and characterization of folding and assembly intermediates.

The Lazer Safe mounting bracket system attaches the laser transmitter and receiver to the press brake. Brackets are manufactured from an extruded high tensile alloy for rigidity and tolerance to machine vibration with linear rails and bearings for precision vertical adjustment of the laser transmitter and receiver.
During tool change a spring loaded locking pin keeps the transmitter and receiver clear allowing the tools to be easily removed from the ends of the machine. After tool change the transmitter and receiver are easily adjusted to match the tool height and takes only a matter of seconds.
Multiple vertical lengths and horizontal mounting options are available to suit most machines and the bracket system is designed to aesthetically combine well with modern press brake designs.
An economy bracket option is also available and is manufactured from the same alloy material. The bracket is a two piece triangular extrusion design that provides quick vertical adjustment and retains alignment when the two pieces are seated and locked. The brackets are easily adjusted and locked into place with a simple locking knob.

Craft Beer App sketches and design
The craft beer finder (I'll call it HopSeeker) is a concept that I've been toying with for a while. It's not exactly a novel idea – in fact, there are already plenty of apps out there for beer and wine enthusiasts – even trusted powerhouse apps like Yelp.
The aim of this app is to be a bit of both those things – a go-to app that appeals to the craft brew crowd and a ratings & review app that's beautiful to look at and intuitive to use. But at its core is really just a simple app to connect beer enthusiasts to local brew pubs.
The following sketches and designs help illustrate the conceptual thinking behind the idea and provide a glimpse of my design process.

Lap Dancing Clubs in Nottinghamshire
- Sorry No Clubs
Think of Nottinghamshire and you probably think of Sherwood Forest, mining for coal and Brian Clough's world beating Nottingham Forest team of the 1970's and 1980's. Hardworking, hard playing, the people of Notts might not have a metropolis like Liverpool or Manchester within its boundaries but they are rightly proud of their county.
Right at the heart of England it was the main region for coal extraction in the industrial revolution, it also produced lace and other textiles but now relies on 21st century industries hi-tech and services for most of the jobs in the area. It is acknowledged by successive governments as being a special investment region.
Everyone knows that Nottinghamshire is the home of Robin Hood and his gang of merry outlaws who challenged the rule of the evil Sheriff of Nottingham in the middle ages, but did you know that the post of sheriff is still elected in the area? You can visit Sherwood Forest and it's Robin Hood museum in the summer months, it's an amazing family day out in this picturesque forest national park.
Nottingham Forest FC are the most successful football team in the area, especially when they had iconic Brian Clough at the helm. He won them two European cups (the forerunner of the Champions League these days) and a first division title from 1977 to 1980. The other major soccer club in the county is Notts County who play in the Second Division. Northampton Saints are a successful rugby league team playing in the Aviva Premier league who have won Aviva Premiership titles and had European glory.
Prominent Notts folk include writer DH Lawrence, who was the son of a coal miner and wrote of the life of people of the region. He wrote controversial Lady Chatterley's Lover which was banned after his death in 1928 and still causes controversy to this day.

Hong Kong pop diva Sammi Cheng (鄭秀文) and Canto-pop heartthrob Andy Hui (許志安) are back together, but despite the media's excitement, their future together is far from certain. The two singers have had an on-and-off relationship since the mid-1990s, and most recently split up in 2004.
Still, Hui was looking "radiant with happiness," according to the Apple Daily, as he confirmed the rekindled romance to reporters earlier this week during a press conference held to promote an upcoming concert.
The announcement came days after the Apple Daily's photographers in Hong Kong spotted the pair in a cafe enjoying a "romantic" afternoon tea.
"She and I have recently come to an understanding," Apple quoted Hui as saying. "We have come to an agreement to let everyone know that we are back together, and are getting to know each other again."
Cheng, on the other hand, remained tight-lipped despite being hounded by reporters. Instead, she posted an essay on her microblog at t.sina.com.cn (新浪微博), the Twitter of the Chinese-speaking world, in which she confirmed the two were starting over, but said she felt wary because of the media's portrayal of their relationship as a "fairy tale" with a "perfect ending."
"I am afraid of this kind of pressure," she wrote. "I don't want a earth-shaking romance. I just want to build a normal relationship."
Cheng also complained about being bombarded with questions about when they were planning to get married (rumors have already been doing the rounds about a wedding in the south of France next year) and when they were going to start a family.
"In the past 10 years, we've only run into each other several times," she wrote, before pleading for "space" to let their new relationship to take its course.
Another public figure taking to the microblogging soapbox is Richard Chang (張承中), fiance of Selina Jen (任家萱) from popular girl band S.H.E. Chang, a 38-year-old lawyer, has gone from being the shy, reclusive boyfriend to becoming the de facto spokesman for Jen, who continues to recover from a severe burns injury sustained when an explosion scene went awry on the set of a TV series being shot in China last year.
Lately, Chang has been making a number of TV talk show appearances. During one interview several weeks ago, he accused the TV show's director Chen Ming-chang (陳銘章) of attempting to evade responsibility for the accident.
Now he's taken to the blogosphere. The China Times reported that Chang attracted nearly 20,000 followers on t.sina.com.cn soon after launching his account (t.sina.com.cn/n/Diong-Diong) last week.
"Selina's recovery has been hard, and she wanted me to start the account so we could have some fun together. I want to make her a little happier and I can also say what I want to say," he said in a television interview earlier this week.
Chang weighed in on the Taichung pub fire that killed nine people last weekend, which clearly hit home for him and his fiance. "Yet another joyous occasion unprepared for a fire," he wrote on his microblog. "At the minimum, those held responsible must face up to the authorities."
Meanwhile, Ella Chen (陳嘉樺), Jen's S.H.E bandmate, has found a new flame. The Liberty Times (the Taipei Times' sister paper) reported last week that Chen has been dating Alvin Lai (賴斯翔), a 35-year-old Malaysian marketing executive at a cosmetics company, for two months.

I needed to let you know that the move into my new unit last week went very smoothly. Please thank the movers once more for me. They were very careful with my furniture and didnt injury a thing. Most of all they had been really polite and funny. Thank you.
Enormous comprehension
They had been unbelievable, one of the best movers I ve ever used. I would suggest them highly sufficient and I am extraordinarily thankful for all their help during my move.
The crew was great. Before asking, the movers protected our homes delicate front entry newly put down wooden floor boards. They found out some enormously unmanageable things transfer plus big china cabinet
Professional team
I have moved a dozen times over time and I have never worked with a moving company fairly like Cityxyz 1 Movers. The staff had been respectful, courteous, and exhausting working. All the things was lined and wrapped for protection. I would consider the ease at which the movers picked up our piano and swiftly moved it into the truck. I highly suggest this company.
Firstly I was so impressed with my telephone conversation with the representative concerning our quote and his very personable manner. Little did I know that issues would only get significantly better on moving day. We had the pleasure of getting great workers for the move, who have been both awesome, enjoyable loving guys, who probably picked up on our stress of having to move for the primary time in 13 years. The guys made a particularly irritating day a lot of fun. After solely an hour or so of packing the truck and really establishing what we needed to move, it was determined that we needed an extra hand and another worker joined them, who s a completely packing professional, to help us get the move finished quicker, therefore saving us money and tiring hours. This moving company must be very proud to have these superior guys on their team, dont let them go!! I willt most definitely recommend the company to my friends.

The Charitable Trust is keen to give opportunities for young people to travel in order to broaden minds, understand other cultures and build self-esteem, character and confidence. Recently there has been an increase in the availability of travel mainly due to cheap flights, which has substantially widened the opportunity for all. At present the Trust makes two awards each year via the Centre for Global Programmes at York University.
The Trust is looking to support students who:
- Are undergraduates in their penultimate year at Universities in Yorkshire and Humberside
- Wish to travel during the long summer vacation
- Are travelling by themselves or a small group where it can be shown that the applicant has shown initiative in organising the travel.
- Are looking at spending four to eight weeks overseas
- The travel should not be part of a University or College course, but have clear aims and objectives
- Travel for pleasure and not as part of their academic course
- The Trust is keen to support those who have little previous experience of travelling.
For outstanding proposals, sums of up to £1,000 is available.
Closing date: 30th April annually.
To apply please email: firstname.lastname@example.com
