Alpine Skills Training
Learn the fundamentals of Alpine Mountaineering with the expert guidance of an IFMGA Mountain Guide…
On this three day trip you will learn some essential skills for safe and efficient movement in the alpine environment, as well as climbing some great climbs.
This trip is suitable for someone's first trip to the Alps as well as a climber who has made a guided ascent of a peak such as the Grand Paradiso or Mont Blanc and who now wants some more skills. It's the first step on the road to becoming self-sufficient in the mountains, without a guide.
During the three days we focus on the fundamentals of Alpine climbing, and allow enough time to practice. It is important to be practiced and slick at these rather than getting distracted by more complicated skills to early.
Skills and techniques covered during the Alpine skills course
There is obviously a lot to learn, and you will need to practice some of these skills a lot before they become second nature. Most of our open trips are timed so you could combine this skills trip with another three day trip afterwards such as the Grand Paradiso.
2017 Alpine skills training trip dates
These are our open trip dates, please contact us to book a private course.
Scheduled trips now fully booked for 2017. Contact us for a private trip.
Maximum ratio of four climbers to one guide. Our trips are run on a guiding only basis, you will need to cover expenses as the trip progresses for you and your guide.
Our price includes:
Expenses to consider:
Pre-trip requirements
You will need a good base of hill walking fitness, capable of walking in hilly terrain with a medium weight rucksack for five to six hours. No rock climbing skill is required, your general fitness is much more important.
Alpine skills course itinerary:
Crevasse rescue and acclimatisation. We meet in Chamonix at 8.00am on the first morning of the trip. After introductions and gear checks we get in the car and drive through the Mont Blanc tunnel into Italy, and use the Helbronner lift to get into the Mountains. Once here we get geared and roped up for a walk across the glacier and a suitable safe crevasse rescue spot. Now we spend a couple of hours practicing some basic crevasse rescue including snow anchors and pulley systems. We then head down the lift and back into Chamonix for the night.
Rock climbing and Scrambling. In the morning we spend a couple of hours climbing at the local Chamonix crag, Les Gaillands. This is a great area to practice climbing in big mountain boots, an essential skill for mountaineering. There's opportunity to practice some belaying and some basic rock climbing anchors. After that, we drive to the head of the valley to the small village of Le Tour where we catch a couple of lifts before beginning the two hour walk to the Albert Premier Refuge, where we spend the night.
Alpine Mountaineering. Here's where we put it into practice climbing one of the peaks above the Albert Premier refuge such as the Aiguille du Tour, Tete Blanche or Petit Fourche. What peak we climb depends on the group, weather and conditions which makes for a good discussion and learning opportunity the evening before. The ascent will typically take around four to five hours, with a break back at the hut on the way down before the walk back to the lift and down to Chamonix.

A FAST-GROWING accountancy firm has added new staff and helped businesses unlock almost £600,000 in support funding as it continues to expand.
County Durham-based Stuart Hall & Co has added to its team after a prolonged period of growth, during which it has increased turnover year-on-year by 30% in each of the last five years.
The company has also helped businesses in the region apply for around £590,000 worth of funding through enterprise schemes and R & D tax relief.
As well as supporting firms in tapping into various funding sources, Stuart Hall & Co offers a range of other accountancy services including year-end accounts, bookkeeping, VAT returns and payroll management.
The firm's 350-strong customer base includes enterprises of all sizes from a small sheep farmer in Scotland to major engineering and manufacturing operations with 50+ employees.
Entrepreneur Stuart Hall, who founded the business in 2009, said: "Having dreamed of opening my own accountancy practice for over 15 years, the reality has been hard work, but I am delighted with the progress we have made.
"Our plan as a business is to continue growing at a steady rate whilst ensuring we can continue to offer a quality service to all of our clients."
Last year the company expanded into new larger premises at Hutton Close, Bishop Auckland, to accommodate growth and has since added to its team.
James Layfield-Carroll and Charlotte Spowart have both joined the business as Apprentice Accountants, while David Heslington and David Sawyer have both been promoted to Accounting Technicians after completing their Association of Accounting Technician (AAT) certificates.
The company, which employs nine people, is also recruiting for a new accountant to join its team.
In recent years the firm has seen particularly strong demand for its specialist services, backed by enterprise experts, which enable businesses to take advantage of funding streams.
Stuart said: "We have supported a mixture of growth plans through varying funding pots that are available locally. All of these amounts have also encouraged job creation in the local area, which is fantastic."
Accounts Manager Abi Smith, who assists all aspects of the business to increase growth, said: "We have a brilliant working environment and are all passionate about providing a quality service to our clients."
"Stuart understands the importance of investing in his team and encourages and supports all of us on training courses including Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)."

Analysis: Taking To The Streets In Uzbekistan
Wild-eyed religious extremists are the stock characters for most discussions of potential unrest in Uzbekistan. But while outbreaks of violence in 2004 have drawn media scrutiny, the daily cares of most people in Uzbekistan are far removed from the "Al-Qaeda links" and "terror plots" that mainstream media find so compelling. The following story, based primarily on reporting by RFE/RL's Uzbek Service, shows that more prosaic concerns are capable of bringing ordinary people out into the streets.

Central Asia: Shanghai Cooperation Organization Signs Agreement In Bishkek

Officials from the member countries -- Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and China -- discussed plans to develop regional economic cooperation and signed an economic agreement.

Central Asia: NGOs Face Rising Tide Of Suspicion From Governments (Part 2)
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) face a double challenge in Central Asia. Not only must they carry out their difficult mission, but they must also contend with often-hostile authorities. The Central Asian countries are in the processes of a radical transition and suspicions of the motives of foreign NGOs are easily aroused among officials. In the second of a two-part series, RFE/RL correspondent Bruce Pannier looks at the trials and tribulations of foreign NGOs in Central Asia.

Central Asia: NGOs Helping To Develop Civil Society (Part 1)
Working with refugees is one of the many areas NGOs focus on in the region In free societies, individuals and groups often pursue their interests -- and safeguard them -- in ways that are independent of the state. Collectively, their private actions belong to what is termed "civil society" -- and are the foundation of any democracy. Yet while vital to helping repressed peoples achieve greater political freedom, civil society is not born overnight. It takes time -- and hard work -- to develop. And that's where nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are playing a key role in Central Asia and Afghanistan as they seek to overcome decades of authoritarianism and war. This is the first of a two-part series on NGOs in Central Asia. To see Part 2, click here --> /featuresarticle/2004/09/4ad7f4c1-8aad-481a-a6b3-d7d3201dc023.html .

Uzbekistan: U.S.-Russian-Uzbek 'Secret Mission' To Recover Deadly Uranium
The U.S. Energy Department says 11 kilograms of enriched uranium fuel, including the highly enriched kind that could be used for nuclear weapons, have been safely returned to Russia from a lab in Uzbekistan. The one-day secret mission was conducted last week by the United States, Uzbekistan, and Russia and is part of a broad effort to secure high-risk nuclear materials and equipment around the world.

Uzbekistan: Tashkent Calls On Neighbors To Boost Border Security

Analysis: Kazakhs In Beslan? The Multiethnic Face Of Post-Soviet Terror
A Russian prosecutor's statement that Kazakhs may have been involved in the bloody siege in Beslan has prompted an official Kazakh request for clarification. At the same time, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbaev has called for increased security measures at home. The backdrop to these unfolding events is a purported post-Soviet terrorist international that remains as elusive as it is troubling.

U.S.: Former Rights Official Discusses Challenges In Central Asia, Iraq
The U.S. State Department's former top human rights official, Lorne Craner, spent much of the past three years grappling with the challenge of pressing reforms with new U.S. allies in the war on terror. During his final few months in office this year, the State Department de-certified Uzbekistan for economic aid and helped censure Turkmenistan in the UN Human Rights Commission. Craner says such actions demonstrate that, despite accusations to the contrary, the Bush administration has maintained human rights as a foreign policy priority. Craner talked with RFE/RL on the sidelines of the Republican Party convention in New York.

Nanya Technology Corp (南亞科技), the nation's largest PC DRAM chipmaker, yesterday said revenue inched up 0.46 percent last month as average selling prices improved due to a better product mix.
However, prices will slide slightly this month because of seasonal factors, company spokesman Lee Pei-ing (李培瑛) said by telephone.
"Overall market demand will slow down a bit, but chip prices will still be quite stable," Lee said.
Revenue rose to NT$3.77 billion (US$125 million) last month from NT$3.75 billion in February, with first-quarter revenue reaching NT$11.69 billion, down 5.88 percent from NT$12.42 billion in the final quarter last year.
Revenue from better-priced non-PC DRAM chips expanded to 75 percent last month from 72 percent the previous month, helping boosting the company's average product prices, the chipmaker said.
Market researcher TrendForce Corp (集邦科技) said earlier this month that contract chip prices fell 1.56 percent in the second half of last month from the previous month due to seasonally weak demand.
While prices will continue falling in the rest of this year, TrendForce said most chipmakers would remain profitable as the price decline would not be as drastic as before on limited supply growth.
In a separate statement, Inotera Memories Inc (華亞科技), a DRAM joint venture between Nanya and US memory chipmaker Micron Technology Inc, yesterday said revenue grew 9.9 percent to NT$6.62 billion, compared with NT$6.02 billion in February.
Inotera's first-quarter revenue shrank 3.92 percent to NT$19.86 billion from the fourth quarter's NT$20.67 billion.

Gnathotrichus sulcatus (Scolytidae)
the scratch-faced ambrosia beetle
Principal Hosts:Nearly all western coniferous species.
Economic Importance:Gnathotrichus beetles spend their whole life cycle inside a log. They emerge to search briefly for new logs to attack and set up new galleries. This long period in logs means they can be in lumber before it is milled and continue development while on the way to market. Gnathotrichus is the most frequently intercepted ambrosia beetle in Canadian lumber imported into Australia.
G. sulcatus also attacks green lumber in sawmill yards which greatly adds to the quarantine problem in export markets. G. sulcatus and G. retusus together are a distant second in importance to T. lineatum.
The economic importance of the damage caused by the beetles is demonstrated in a video clip from Tiny Beetles - Expen$ive Ta$te$.

The Short Term Side Effects of Steroids
Steroids are a type of hormone produced by the body to contribute to cell function, muscle and tissue building, and stress and growth regulation. Corticosteroids are a type of manufactured prescription drug product given to mimic or enhance the effects of the body's natural steroids. Steroids are given to reduce swelling in many conditions and body areas, to reduce cell reactions to stressful conditions, and to reduce immune system hyperactivity. Some common examples are prednisone and hydrocortisone.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Increased Pressures
Even short-term (i.e., less than one month) use of steroids can accentuate the risk of high blood pressure and increased pressure in the eye, or glaucoma, especially in people who are already at risk for these diseases. Steroids increase fluid levels in the body and affect the size of blood vessels through anti-inflammatory actions; both of these effects may contribute to high blood pressure and glaucoma risks.
Weight Gain
Steroid use even for less than one month may cause increased bloating and fluid retention. In addition, increased fat retention, especially in the stomach, neck and facial areas, is possible. Combined with the added side effect of increased appetite, both of these effects can result in increased weight gain with short-term steroid use.
Psychological Changes
Steroid use can cause hormonal changes in addition to the physical side effects. One result is that psychological side effects are also possible with short-term steroid use. Some common examples of these side effects are trouble sleeping, energy changes (either reduced energy or hyperactivity) and noticeable mood changes.

Initially known as a budget game developer, Codemasters had slowly moved into the full price spectrum. By the mid 1990s, it had become accepted practice to simply release games of small proportions in the full price range anyway. What a perfect opportunity for such a studio!

My name is Justin and I live in Australia. I am an IT Administrator so you'll find much of the content of my blog revolves around Information Technology and Geek in general, but that's not just what a blog is about. I like creating videos and posting them on YouTube. You can visit my YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/judstinau
When I started this blog back in 2002, it was hosted on another service and I moved to WordPress in 2006. When I started writing it was in a very impersonal style, but these days I'm all about heart and connecting with my readers so I write (and rant) quite personally about a number of things, but I hope that makes it easier for readers to connect with me!
The best thing about using the blog format is that you are free to write about whatever you want, whenever you want sharing with the world the thoughts and opinions that matter to you most.
So I hope you enjoy your time on my blog. I hope you get something out of the work I do on here which is purely for my own amusement and enjoyment. If that means you get something out of it also, then that makes me happy. You can leave as many comments as you like so don't forget I'd love to hear any feedback you have.

Best Western launches its annual Free Breakfast campaign
For travellers who believe it's the most important meal of the day, Best Western is improving its guests' mornings, one breakfast at a time. For a limited time, guests can book a free breakfast with their stay.
In 2016, Best Western introduced new worldwide standards in its breakfast offering. The principle behind the new standards is to increase breakfast options and improve the way in which breakfast is presented to the guest.
Breakfast is available at each of Best Western's 4,000 hotels and while the first meal of the day differs around the world, Best Western guests can still be assured they will experience the same standards no matter where they stay.
Covering both cold and hot choices, at a minimum, breakfast options include two kinds of all the breakfast staples: fruit, milk, coffee, tea, juice and cereal. While three kinds of bread or pastry items are available, as well as yoghurt and eggs. And to complete the spread, guests can expect another three kinds of regional or local produce served daily.
"After several years of focussing on the quality of our accommodation product, we've now stepped up the standard of one of the key services that the majority of our guests consider important to their stay." said Steve Richards, Best Western Australasia's Head of Commercial. "Guests now have plenty of choice and whether they need an early start or are hoping for a cheeky sleep-in, breakfast service is available at least 2 hours every morning, often much longer."
Best Western is combining the idea of providing a wholesome start to its guests' day with its most popular campaign of the year. "Guests love breakfast as a value-add and this free breakfast promotion certainly offers great value." added Richards.
Available immediately and until 30 June 2016, guests can book the special Free Breakfast rate which gives them up to two free continental breakfasts per room booked.
To book, visit www.bestwestern.com.au/free-

News in Brief
Ga. Revokes Licenses After Cheating Scandal
More than 65 educators in the Atlanta school district who were accused in a massive test-cheating scandal will lose their teaching licenses in Georgia.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reported that the state Professional Standards Commission decided last week to suspend certificates of 47 teachers for two years and permanently revoke licenses for 19 principals and testing coordinators. A state investigation last summer revealed widespread cheating in about half the district's 100 schools.
A total of 180 educators were accused in the probe. Until now, the commission had taken action against just 16 educators because the Fulton County district attorney's office asked the state to hold off on its investigation.
The teachers can appeal the commission's decision. Penalties from the commission can range from a warning to permanent revocation.

New Smyrna Beach, Florida Art Town
New Smyrna Beach, Florida Art Town
New Smyrna Beach, though famous for its seaside properties and beautiful ocean views, is also well known as a high quality art town. Since 1977, New Smyrna Beach has been home to a community of artists who gather together to promote the arts and foster creativity in the New Smyrna Beach community.
With the Atlantic Center for the Arts, the Clay Gallery, Arts on Douglas, Artists' Workshop, Inc., The Hub, and several other galleries on Flagler Avenue on the beachside or in the Canal Street Historic District, New Smyrna Beach has made a name for itself on the national stage.
Arts on Douglas Fine Art and Collectibles is another hometown gem for New Smyrna Beach residents. Originally a Ford auto showroom, the large commercial gallery now hosts a variety of Central Florida artists' work and is updated often. Every first Saturday of the month, Arts on Douglas features a new art exhibit combined with an Art Walk with other galleries and shops in dowtown New Smyrna Beach.
Doris Leeper, a New Smyrna Beach artist and environmentalist, is the co-founder of Arts on Douglas and the founder of the nonprofit organization, Atlantic Center for the Arts (ACA). The ACA was birthed out of Leeper's desire to create a quiet, beautiful space for artists to focus on their work. Founded in 1979, today's ACA sits on 69-acres on the shores of Turnbull Bay. The space features a library, a theater, painting studios, sculpture studios, dance and music studios, and 12,000 square feet of artist workspace. The ACA encourages new artists through an opening reception for an artist's solo exhibition. Whether you want to view jewelry, sculpture, photography, mixed media, or paintings, you'll find it at Arts on Douglas.
There is also a pro active community outreach program through a variety of workshops and exhibitions, including educational classes for children and adults.
The organization also offers an Artists-in-Residence program that invites artists from all over the country to visit New Smyrna Beach and participate in a workshop for three weeks at the Atlantic Center for the Arts. The program, which began in 1982, is offered to a variety of visual, literary and performance artists. More than 360 Master Artists and 2,350 Associate Artists from around the world have taken part in the program over the years.
A city can't call itself an art town through galleries alone, however, and New Smyrna Beach is no exception. The annual IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts event showcases the work of more than 210 artists each year, and is attended by more than 35,000 people. For over 35 years, the festival has been held near historic Canal Street in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Always open to the public, the outdoor festival spreads along Riverside Drive and through gorgeous Riverside Park.
In addition to the many artists' showcases, the festival features live music, hands-on children's art projects, and a smorgasbord of tasty treats. There's even an exhibit where local students can show off their latest creations. Dancers from all over the region also come to the festival to showcase their own styles of dancing, and to share their different cultures with New Smyrna Beach locals and visitors.
While not all residents of this Central Florida jewel are artists, New Smyrna Beach fosters an artistic spirit that inspires all its residents to live creatively in their own way, whether by visiting one of the many local galleries or by attending an ACA workshop. So, for artists and art lovers, New Smyrna Beach is a great place to visit or call home. With all New Smyrna Beach has to offer, it's easy to see why author John Villani called it one of the "100 Best Small Art Town[s] in America."

By the time the ink is dry on this article, let alone by the time it is published, it is likely that there will be several more seismic shocks to the economic system and to the automotive industry. It is hard to believe anyone in the automotive industry could look at six months ago as "the good old days," but that is the world we are living in at the moment. Here is a brief recap of the key issues.
The Overview.
For the first time in over 25 years, every segment of the financial system-from traditional banks to investment banks, from private equity to hedge funds-has had major players liquidate or be forced to sell to a more stable competitor. In the past, these kind of economic dislocations were in other industry segments (e.g., automotive or retail) and the financial institutions had a chance to benefit from these changes. This time around, the institutions that provide the "fuel' to our economy are the ones that are in trouble. Although this is probably overstated, it appears that virtually every financial institution of any size jumped on the high reward/high risk bandwagon of the subprime market so no one is really sure when the next financial shoe will drop. As a result, none of these institutions trust each other and they refuse to lend to each other out of fear they will not be repaid.
When fear enters the financial market, banks stop lending to other banks and the entire economy is put at risk. It was this macro credit freeze that led to the Congressional bailout package. Unfortunately, this freeze in credit went on long enough that it will definitely take a while for lending conditions to return to normal even after the positive effects of the bailout legislation begin to be felt. For the automotive industry, it means that 2009 will be a very difficult economic year as even good suppliers have difficulty getting access to credit and many troubled suppliers are likely to tip into bankruptcy.
Auto Specific.
The freeze in the credit markets has a multiple negative impact on the automotive consumer:
- The virtual elimination of leasing. Leasing has been one of the ways the automotive OEMs have sold higher-mix vehicles (i.e., selling based on a monthly payment level vs. the end value of the vehicle) and shortened the vehicle ownership cycle (2-3 years vs. 4-5). The unavailability of leasing combined with the difficult economic conditions may put pressure on the higher-content vehicles in 2009.
- Limited credit availability. Only the best borrowers will be able to finance a vehicle. Access to credit will remain constrained for most of 2009.
- Negative impact on consumer confidence. While the accompanying chart (p. 14) showing consumer sentiment indicates that consumer confidence went up a bit in September, this was before the bailout crisis. This reinforces that even if people can afford to buy a car, they are holding off any kind of durable goods purchases until they feel better about the overall economy.
- Limited Recovery in Housing in 2009. Housing is unlikely to improve in 2009 for a variety of reasons. Given the strong correlation between housing and vehicle sales (and, in particular, pickup truck sales), this will keep downward pressure on automotive sales for the next 6-12 months.
For the first time in recent memory, even Toyota and Honda are having difficulty selling vehicles. Toyota's sales were down 32% in September 2008 from the previous year, and Honda was down 24%. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that things have actually been much worse in the automotive industry. For those of us that have been around for a while, the most significant downturn since World War II occurred in 1982, as shown in the accompanying chart. So while potential production numbers of 12.3 million to 12.7 million for 2009 sound horrible, from a historical perspective they do not look quite that bad. The main message from 2008 is that the automotive industry is still a cyclical industry and that suppliers and OEMs need to develop a better capability of adjusting their business models to the inevitable changes in the market.
Remember Fuel Prices?
While it now seems like ancient history, prior to the credit crunch the significant increase in fuel prices was the big story in the automotive industry. There is little question that the surge in fuel prices has led to a major short-term shift in consumer buying habits with small cars and fuel-efficient small SUVs doing relatively well while full size pickup truck sales continue to decline (e.g., Ford F Series pickup trucks were down 42% from year ago level). We want to stress, however, that pickup truck sales will come back once housing starts begin to recover. Unfortunately, with the lack of sales in 2008 and the number of low-mileage used pickups that will be available in 2009, new pickup truck sales will probably not begin to recover until 2010.
One final note of caution.
OEMs and suppliers should not bet too heavily on everyone driving a car rather than a light truck in the future, either. We believe that improvements in powertrain fuel efficiency and the acceleration of lightweight materials will result in the continued vibrancy of the light-truck segment, although most of them will now be built on a crossover platform. The message is to be flexible enough to change with market and economic conditions and not to be too dependent on any one segment.
Although it has ended up being a footnote in the media frenzy over the credit crisis, Congress did pass a $25-billion loan package for the automotive industry to invest in more fuel-efficient technology. This is a huge positive for the industry and gives the traditional Big 3 some breathing room during the very difficult transition they are facing over the next 2 to 3 years. Suppliers should look for opportunities to benefit from this new funding, both through the OEMs and directly.
The biggest issue for most industry participants is the speed with which all these changes have happened. From the surge in fuel prices to the end consumer, to the increase in raw material prices for suppliers and OEMs, to the dramatic drop in traditional light-truck sales, 10 years' worth of change seems to have been crammed into 6 to 8 months. Whether this speed of change should now be considered typical or whether 2008 will go down as a "perfect storm" of events is unknown. What is clear is the ability to rapidly adjust your business model to major changes in the market will be a key to future success. Many people remember Charles Darwin's adage as "Survival of the Fittest". But what he actually said was that those who survive are the fastest to adapt. His theory was never more relevant than it is today.

Did you check your Pulse ?
Posted by sureshkrishna on November 28, 2007
If you are using Eclipse, then you must check out Pulse. Irrespective of if one is a Developer, Technical Lead or an IT manager, Pulse has some thing to offer. Pulse is free software created by Genuitec LLC, which focuses to decrease some of the pain points and ease the eclipse profile maintenance.
I have been playing with Pulse in past few weeks and it certainly does what it claims to be. Following is a typical scenario that i have been using eclipse from past 5 years. Its very interesting to analyse them and see how Pulse helps me in improving the same tasks that i very often.
Scenario #1 : For users who are familiar with the Eclipse Platform, they simply need to download the installation and run it. As we need and install more plugins, it often becomes little difficult to maintain the dependencies. Eclipse instance that i typically run follows a sequence of steps…
- Find the plugin "MyPlugin"
- Find the Dependencies of the plugin "MyPlugin"
- Depending on the download size, find a nearest mirror site
- Download the dependencies and the actual plugin "MyPlugin"
With Pulse : Pulse enables me to overcome all the above mentioned steps. Of course i need to still know which plugin i want to install :). Once i find a plugin, looking for Dependencies, Looking for faster download mirror site and downloading tasks are done by Pulse for me. I wanted to use WTP XML editor, and i got this option from Pulse default profiles. Its very cool that all the dependant plugins are automatically added by Pulse and downloaded concurrently. Yes you read it right. See the following screen-shot which shows you the PHP editor download.
Scenario #2 : So far so good, I have installed my favorite plugin and successfully ran my eclipse instance. Its very customary for many of us to have many instances of Eclipse installations. They could either be for work or for playing a new cool set of features from a latest release of eclipse. At any point of time i normally have minimum of 4 instances namely WTP All in One (my sandbox), Project Specific Eclipse, CDT Eclipse and TopCased Eclipse. Of course i do want to maintain different instances and don't want to install one on the top of other. In this scenario, i am increasing my disk space by having multiple installations.
With Pulse : Pulse manages all your profiles that you have created. Pulse knows all the plugins that have been downloaded and manages a single copy of the plugins, and supplies to different profiles. So, you would save your disk space by default. This would be a significant save for many of us and especially IT Department. They do care about the hard-drives provided to developers ;). e.g. if CVS plugin is already downloaded, it will be shared across multiple profiles that you have.
Scenario #3 : And now, once i have successfully downloaded and installed plugins, i am interested to see the SAME configuration on my team's machines. Hummm… Till now i used to send the download sites of all the plugins to my team and they download again. Or, i copy the entire eclipse installation on to Memory Card :).
With Pulse : Pulse lets you to create your own profile and share it to other users. Of course you need to register on Pulse to be able to share profiles, but that's nothing compared to what you gain. That means, a profile shared by my colleague is seen by me and i can start using this profile right away by running this. In-fact the same profile can be seen worldwide and can be accessed by any one who knows about this profile.
Scenario #4 : I worked for Bosch, an automotive supplier and the IT department had no way to distribute a single instance of Eclipse that has a good set of plugins. If IT developers find few good plugins and want to have them with all colleagues, there is no single way to do this. This usually ends up in having different Eclipse and plugins combination.
With Pulse : As Profiles can be shared, any user can send this profile and the same can be accessed by all colleagues. IT Department can distribute these profiles so that developers can run the profiles they are interested in.
Overall its a great tool. One interesting thing i like is, any registered user can submit a plugin of his choice to be included in Pulse's profile. I guess currently this is in the beta stage and i am hoping to see lot more features in future. More information can be obtained at following pulse links…

U.S. and Chilean researchers join to study wind turbine vibration, dampen unwanted noise.
Virginia Tech — March 30, 2015
Newswise — Wind turbines provide clean, abundant energy and bolster America's power grid. But across the world people are banding together to fight wind farms, blaming noise for interrupted sleep and a host of health problems.
Scientists lack sufficient understanding of wind turbines' noise and best ways to mitigate the effects, says Jorge Arenas, a faculty member in the Universidad Austral de Chile's College of Engineering Sciences and director of its Institute of Acoustics.
Noise is annoying and, worse, linked to health problems, many researchers say. A newspaper in the U.K. captures the sensation: "Residents near some wind farms have likened the noise to a cement-mixer or a shoe stuck in a tumble-dryer," writes energy editor Emily Gosden in a story in The Telegraph.
"The noise from wind turbines is not very loud," says Virginia Tech's Richardo Burdisso, a professor of mechanical engineering and Arenas' colleague in Blacksburg. "However, it is annoying because of its amplitude modulated characteristic. That is, the noise fluctuates in levels with a period of 0.7 to 1.5 seconds, depending on the size of the turbine. The fluctuation in levels can be as high as 10 to 12 decibels."
Arenas and Virginia Tech colleagues who are known for their wind tunnel research will study the vibrations of wind turbines at a large Chilean wind farm along with health impacts on nearby residents. The goal is to make wind turbines more acceptable.
Last year Ohio legislators passed a law requiring wind turbine blades to be at least a quarter-mile from the nearest property line. That's because sounds in the low frequency range can travel great distances; they "are not well attenuated by air," Arenas says. "Low frequency noise is hard to mitigate." Continue reading here…..

WAGHID, Zayd. A pedagogical approach to socially just relations in a Grade 11 Economics class. S. Afr. j. educ. [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.2, pp.01-18. ISSN 2076-3433. http://dx.doi.org/10.15700/saje.v36n2a1132.
Post-apartheid schooling in South Africa is challenged with the task of contributing towards social justice, as has been evident from the emergence of a plethora of education policies following the promulgation of the South African Schools Act in 1996. One of the most significant ways in which social justice can be cultivated in schools, especially where exclusion and marginalisation have been in ascendancy for decades, is through improved pedagogical activities, which receive focus in this article. The article focuses on investigating how the learning goals for Grade 11 Economics with the aid of an educational technology, in particular Facebook, engender opportunities for socially just relations in the classroom. The researcher is concerned with how these learning goals are related to three underlying aspects of Economics education, namely sustainable development, equity (including equality) and economic development, and how they may or may not engender opportunities for social justice. Critical discourse analysis is the research approach used to analyse learners' comments on Facebook in relation to their understandings of three films. It was found that it is possible to teach and learn education for social justice in the classroom. Learners treated one another equally; enacted their pedagogical relations equitably; and learnt to become economically aware of their society's developmental needs. Thus, it is recommended that education for social justice be cultivated in school classrooms through the use of Facebook.

Have you ever tried car auctions?
Everyone dreams of having a nice, expensive car - a sports car in the likes of Porsche or , a luxury car like Lexus
or Mercedez Benz . You know it will remain but just a dream because you don't have the money. But remember that everything is possible if you look hard enough.
Not too many people know about them. But since you are reading this page right now, you have information that is a secret to a lot of people. You can get your dream car at a fraction of their book value and isn't it a neat thing to know about this? It's possible to get that dream car of yours.
You will be surprised at what you can find at automobile auctions.
By now you have a glimmer of hope in attaining that dream of yours, that car that you obsess about but which seems beyond your reach. But maybe, you don't even dream to own that expensive car. You just simply want to save money in getting a car. Through auto auctions, it's possible and it's probable that you can save a bundle. Auto auctions are great opportunities that ordinary citizens should take advantage of.
Every year thousands of vehicles, are essentially "given away". Why? Some become the property of Uncle Sam through "seizure and surplus" laws. Because of the constant influx of goods and the overwhelming expense to store them, the government must get rid of them fast through auto auctions. Here's the scenario: police impound car, auctions it to get rid of it. Multiply that by thousands of cars and you have opportunity in your hands. This could mean dirt-cheap prices for you! And you can drive away your very own cheap used cars home after those auto auctions ended.
It's not only the police or the government who do automobile auctions. Banks regularly post repossessed cars for sale through car auctions. Again, opportunity that you, as an interested car buyer should not let go.
Why So Cheap? Thousands of cars become government & bank property every day through various seizure and surplus laws. The constant exchange of vehicles and the enormous expense to store them, means amazing deals and guaranteed rock bottom prices for you! As Much as 80% - 90% OFF!
Save big with auto auctions. Visit this site and find out more:

Oddero continues to fly somewhat under the radar though with thier vineyard holdings in some of the top crus being produced in a fairly traditional style one has to wonder why that still is. The quality here can be a bit variable, due in part to the variety of crus, as well as the winemaking, which has varied a bit in the past for various wines. Today all the crus undergo malo in barrique before being transferred to large format wood while the Classico Barolo sees only large format wood. These are wines that almost always have surprised on the upside after cellaring, turning out quite elegant.
2009 Oddero Barolo Classico
From vineyard in Chiese, Fiasco, and Capalot
This sees 60 days with cappelllo somersso and large format wood. The crus see about 27 days followed by malo in barrique and a year in botte.
Light incense on the nose tops sweet raspberry and dusty cherry fruit aromas that pick up a cooked hot red soil, with an almost bricky and metallic tone to it. This is soft and almost lazy in the mouth, with decent tannin though this lacks focus in the mouth. There are nice flavors on the palate but this is not special, with a short finish in a style that is a bit clumsy. 86pts
2008 Oddero Barolo Classico
No cappello sommerso, 28 days fermentation. Cappello sommerso only used when the vintage allows for full ripeness of stems and seeds
Much more perfumed than the 09 with the same profile rich with soil tones, licorice, rose petals, and a nice deep green anise seed savoriness and minty top notes. Again this is a bit soft, and a bit round in the mouth with a opulence that's unusual for the vintage This shows fine depth, very classic Classico, rich with great follow through, nice tannic cut and red fruit on the finale. 88pts
2009 Oddero Barolo Villero - Castiglione Falletto
High toned and soil driven on the nose, which is a bit smoky with subtle, stemmy herb notes and a base of clay. Direct and aromatic on entry is a soft and opulent style that is fruit driven. This has a seamless fell to it but is lacking some energy in the mouth. There's a rich core with big slightly leathery tannins that lead to a bright finish with impressive cut and fine complexity but again it lacks some energy. 89pts
2008 Oddero Barolo Villero - Castiglione Falletto
Tight and herbal on the nose with hints of rose petals and sweet bay leaf, over tight, focused rusty red fruits. This is a bit tight on entry but it shows lovely focus, with significant potential for complexity. Lively and long on the palate this shows great freshness to the tannins which build on the plum skin toned finish. 90pts
2009 Oddero Barolo Rocche - Castiglione Falletto
A little reticent on the nose but this builds fine tobacco notes, over great lingonberry fruit that shows a little wood sweetness, cigar box, and a little sweet Cognac cream note. Clear, firm, austere and bright in the mouth with red fruit cut by mineral notes in a powerful yet precise style. The tannins are ripe if just a touch bitter perhaps, though the are very well integrated with the black cherry fruit on the long, elegant finish. 93pts
2008 Oddero Barolo Rocche - Castiglione Falletto
A nice herbal edge shows up early on the nose followed by a fair amount of oak and leather. This is a bit soft with black fruit in the mouth in a fairly tannic, broad and low in the mouth style that is dark and muscular. It a bit small scaled, this none the less delivers lovely bitter black cherry fruit with a touch of a wild, animale character to it. 89pts
2008 Oddero Barolo Brunate - La Morra
Fresh if perhaps slightly fudgy on the nose which shows lots of ripe fresh fruit, a little smoky accent and a tight slightly vegetal floral topnote with lots of incipient tobacco character. In the mouth this is very fresh and a little tight, with good acids and nice abundant but ripe tannins supporting deep fresh if dark berry fruit, almost a little. Boysenberry. This finishes with power and depth delivering clean and bright fruit with excellent soil tone accents. A very complete wine. 93pts
2006 Oddero Barolo Brunate - La Morra
This and Bussia 2006 are being released this year
Tight and showing some woody spice sweetness on the nose along with hints of a fudge and camphor framing ripe cherry pit fruit. Here the tannins are starting to show some softness. This is rich and powerful with an elegance, firm tannin, and a savory finish, that remains firm, clear and youthful, if tight, with big tannins. This has a beautifully spiced nose with an attractive incense character. 93pts
2006 Oddero Barolo Bussia - Monforte
Soil, leather, and spiced black cherry fruit greet the nose topped with a bit of cocoa, rose petal and baked peach pie. Air reveals a bit of VA here along with a huge leather note, tinges of balsamic, and a touch of game. Really a killer nose with super complexity. This is big and rich on the palate with dark clear fruits that show a bit of herbal/vegetal character in a root vegetable kind of way along with great fennel notes. With a long ripe finish, dusty tannins, and fine extraction of clear black fruit this is a resounding success. 94pts
2005 Oddero Barolo Vigna Rionda - Serralunga
What a gorgeous nose with fine, focused rose notes along with tobacco, a little spice, mineral, a touch of flint, blood and aged beef all coming together. This shows a tight and focused feel though it is fairly open on the midpalate but with tight tannins that through a net over the finish, which does shows a touch of heat. The flavors of red fruits on the palate gain a little smoky edge to them and while this is a bit reticent, and perhaps slightly small scaled, the balance is compelling, lending this a bit of a regal feel. 92pts

Errors are back - Undefined variable: mailContent
I recently had a lot of problems making UE4 work, but finally, thanks to your help we reached a solution
After that I need another page to send an email and of course used UE4

"I wonder if the world is full
Of other secrets beautiful,
As little guessed, as hard to see,
As this sweet, starry mystery?
Do angels veil themselves in space,
And make the sun their hiding-place?
Do white wings flash as spirits go
On heavenly errands to and fro,
While we, down-looking, never guess
How near our lives they crowd and press?
If so, at life's set we may see
Into the dusk steal noiselessly
Sweet faces that we used to know,
Dear eyes like stars that softly glow,
Dear hands stretched out to point the way,–
And deem the night more fair than day."
+ + +
Hello folks:
I like this.
Somehow it speaks to my soul today. I know it's not scripture…but it speaks words of the Spirit.
Perhaps knowing I was ill at ease It touched my spirit in a way
That soothed me…
Calmed me…Reassured me…
As if I sensed a familiar hand on my shoulder–firm but gentle.
I wanted to share this with each one of you…
Perhaps you also will "see"
And be blessed with me.
