Archiving project time is used to move project time records from the current timesheet into the archives. Archiving time does not delete records. The entries are still available for reporting. The process is used to help maintain an accurate snapshot of unpaid project time totals on the timesheets and Dashboard and so it's a good idea to archive them once the entries have been billed.
You can archive individual records right from the user's project timesheet.
However, the most common way to archive time is in bulk by clicking Archive Time in the left hand Project menu.
Make your report selections and click Archive at the bottom:
All the entries will be displayed for review and you can click Archive the Time Shown.

Thank you for your most interesting letter; you have quite a library
of aircraft books. I have read quite a few but nowhere near as many
as you have.
You say you would love to fly in a Lancaster. Well, if ever you do you
would be amazed at the tremendous noise level. We were young and did
not know any different but the times in the 1950s when I occasionally
flew Lancasterians I didn't like it a bit. Even the Yorks were
very noisy and they had a little soundproofing in the passenger cabin.
Nowadays the passengers can quietly talk to each other, watch movies!
Sadly, the type of Lancaster I flew in wartime was not preserved after
the war. They were Lancaster Mk II, and had air-cooled radial engines
– Bristol Hercules – instead of the Merlin liquid-cooled
in-line engine. They were built as a precaution against the supply of
Merlin engines becoming a problem as so many fighter aircraft were using
the same engine. However a contract to build the Merlin in USA was signed
so there was no shortage after all, so they stopped making the Lancaster
II in 1944 after 300 were completed. All the crews who used the Lancaster
II were very fond of them; they were a good deal faster as they had
nearly 800 HP in total, l more than either the Lanc I or III. This was
very useful in war situations, and when you were taking off with a full
load there were no worries about whether or not you would make it. Also
they were quieter engines; the Merlin has a very 'staccato'
bark. BOAC bought quite a lot of Canadian airliners from Canada in the
1960s. They were basically DC4 (Douglas) airframes but fitted with Merlin
engines instead of the usual Pratt and Whitney's. These aircraft
were pressurised (the standard DC4 was not) so could fly higher altitudes
which suited the Merlin engine very well. However, the airliners were
incredibly noisy and it was very fatiguing as a passenger especially
on long flights. Much work was done to try and reduce the noise; eventually
Rolls-Royce had to completely alter the exhaust system. Instead of the
original design of an exhaust stack on each side of the engine, the
inboard (facing cabin) side exhaust was led over the top of the engine,
so all the exhaust noise was on the far side of the engines. This was
much better but costly and also reduced the power. Nowadays of course
it is all jet power – and all the noise comes out at the rear
and the passengers never hear it!
Talking about jets, the Lancaster was used quite a lot as a flying test
bed for the early jet engines. Even big engines got all their reliability
and safety certificates through flying either strapped underneath the
bomb bay or installed in the wing of Lancaster bombing aircraft. Of
course, after the war there were hundreds of them cut up for scrap metal
or sold to foreign companies very cheaply. I remember flying, whilst
still in the RAF, Lancasters up to an old airfield in north-west England
where we used to park them in rows. A firm of contractors called Wimpey
had lorry loads of gas bottles, and men were cutting off the engines
etc with oxy-acetylene torches and loading the aluminium etc. to the
smelters. It was very sad for me to see aircraft just torched like that.
The funny thing is that now you cannot buy an old Merlin engine - a
warehouse full of them would make you a millionaire!
After obtaining my civil licences my first employment was with British
South American Airways. They only flew to Brazil, Argentina, Panama,
Lima and Chile. The only aeroplane at that time which had the range
to fly so far was the Lancaster. The American aircraft like the Constellation
would have been ideal but was in short supply and very expensive. So
we had Lancasters converted with a new nose, the bomb bay sealed up
for luggage and a single row of only 9 or 10 seats down the fuselage.
There was a tiny kitchen for the stewardess and really it could not
possibly make a profit, but kept the airline in business until better
aircraft were available. These were used on the long-distance routes:
London – Lisbon – Azores - Bermuda. We had shorter range
York aircraft which went across the South Atlantic via West Africa,
across to Recife in Brazil and down through Rio de Janeiro to Buenos
Aires. A Lancastrian would fly across the Andes from Buenos Aires to
Lima once weekly. One of these Lancs was lost over the Andes and only
found a few months ago after 54 years! Nothing lasts forever, of course,
and it is amazing that two Lancasters are still flying after so long.
When the Berlin airlift started the company bought some Tudor V aircraft
that were not certified for passenger flying after the two Tudor disasters
in the South Atlantic. These Tudor Vs were very large tailwheel aircraft,
powered by Merlin 600 series engines. The crew was pilot, engineer and
radio officer, and the long fuselage was filled with aircraft wing fuel
tanks. We flew from Wunstorf airfield, near Hanover, to Gatow in Berlin.
The duty period was normally 3 round trips to Gatow and back to Wunstorf.
It was about 1 hour 40 mins there, and 1 hour 20 mins back, with about
30 minutes to offload and 40 minutes to fill up again; so it was quite
a tough day. Looking at my logbook, I see a typical day's work:
07:30 – 08:51 then 09:20 – 10:35, that's the first
lift. 11:17 – 12:47, then 13:05 – 14:15 that's the
second, 14:53 – 16:21, then 16:46 – 17:57, that's
the day's work done, 28.4.49. The next day's first lift
was 19:23, so worked all night the next duty. So it went on for about
3 weeks, then we had a week off back in England. The airlift finally
ended in August 1949, and I was transferred to British Overseas Airways
on the Constellation fleet.

In just a short amount of time, you've done the unthinkable. You've changed the way your company, your department or your team does business, and now the world has to know how you did this. I think it's time to do it again, and this time with a killer presentation. So, let's learn a little about how you can do this easily using PowerPoint Templates. PowerPoint templates are not just collections of slides with marble backgrounds and bullet points strewn everywhere. Instead, let's view them as presentation frameworks _ a framework with which you can build a beautiful presentation. That's all it has to be. Now, let's get started! Create your template library _ Your first step is to create your own template library, a library of PowerPoint documents that have presentation structures you like. This library can contain templates that you'll use when giving presentations that include lists, presentations that are meant to inspire, frameworks for very content heavy presentations, etc. All you need is a few frameworks that you can reuse whenever you have a presentation to give. A good way to start is to go back to all of your old presentations and create frameworks from those. Craft a plan _ There are a few ways to plan your presentation. Some people use sticky notes and arrange them on walls, some use simple word processing documents and arrange their slides in words first and all of these methods work. I'd like to suggest answering two questions before you plan your presentation slide by slide: "what does my audience want to hear?" and "what do I want my audience to think about after my presentation is over?". Use these questions to guide your outline and planning of the presentation.
In earlier times, accounting was done manually. With the coming of computers and increased technological advancement, accounting is slowly transferring from manual to mechanical dependence. It saves a lot of time. Earlier, hours were spent on drawing the basic design of sheets and other financial instruments. But now, you have access to balance sheet templates, which have readymade categories and spaces for computing. Now, one just has to enter the amounts manually and all other things are done mechanically.

In the past few years, Scarlett Johansson has taken some serious heat for a few roles she's taken on, and it seems she is ready push back. First, she got slammed for accepting the role of Major Mira Killian in 2017's Ghost in Her Shell, seeing as the character was based on a Japanese manga. Then, she dropped out of the film Rub & Tug, after she was dragged for taking on the role of a trans man.
Still, she doesn't really see what the fuss is about. She told As If (via Daily Mail) that "political correctness" is to blame for the uproar, and that she should be free to accept any role she wants.
Johansson said: "You know, as an actor I should be allowed to play any person, or any tree, or any animal because that is my job and the requirements of my job."
She continued: "I feel like it's a trend in my business and it needs to happen for various social reasons, yet there are times it does get uncomfortable when it affects the art because I feel art should be free of restrictions. I think society would be more connected if we just allowed others to have their own feelings and not expect everyone to feel the way we do."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, her perspective went down like a lead balloon on Twitter. Wrote Nancy Wang Yuen: "ScarJo is the highest paid female actor in 2018, banking $40.5 mil. But she feels entitled to take roles away from Asian, Trans & other underrepresented actors?"

Hello everyone..
Thank u to all my readers for ur amazing response on my stry..I am really feeling happy reading ur comments..Thanks to all my silent readers too…Love you all???
Now enough of my bak bak..let's strt the next part…
Next Morning..
Next Morning in Gadodia house Every one is seen just with one or the other works..We can see a man doing all the arrangements and his face is showing his happiness…At that time a last came towards him and spoke
Shomi:Sekhar take some rest..how much work will u do..u will get tired
Sekhar:Shomi u don't wry I won't be tired..I am so happy today..my daughter my shona agreed for marriage and today Dp's family is coming to discuss abt marriage..
Shomi:Ha sekhar..u r right…even I am happy that our shona is gng to get married…I hope this marriage gives us our old Shona back…
When they r talking to each other Ragini who heard their talks came towards them and spoke:Don't wry maa..she will be very happy after marriage.I know abt sanskar he will keep our shona happy..
SheMish smiled hearing her and trio shared a grp hug..Swara who is standing little far from them listened to their talks and have tears in her eyes..
Swara(monologue):bcoz of me ev1 suffered a lot…that's why i agreed for this marriage..but before marriage I shld talk to him once and I shld tell him my truth…then also if he agree to marry me by his heart then only I will marry him….
Saying this she wiped her tears and went to her room with a determined face..
At the same at MM sanskar is seen getting ready to meet swara and get family lost in his own thoughts..
Sanskar (Monologue):I agreed for this marriage for my family's happiness but for that I can't stake girls happiness…so I will talk to her today abt my past…then she will decide whether she will marry me or not…
When he is lost in his world he heard laksh's voice breaking his trance..
Laksh:Sanskar come we shld leave now
Sanskar (coming to senses):Ha bhai chalo..
Both went towards their parents who r waiting for them downstairs…Then four of them drove towards Gadodia Mansion…
Maheswari family reached GM and they r welcomed by GF..All r sitting in living room and chatting happily as they r already relatives..At that time Ragini came down with swara…Swara took blessings from elders..Then Ap made her sit with her and cupped her face lovingly and spoke..
Ap:My daughter is looking beautiful
Saying this Ap kissed her forehead..Swara got teary eyed remembering something but she quickly wiped her tears without anyone's notice but our sanskar noticed it and felt a pinch of pain in his heart unknowingly…But he brushed his thoughts…
When swara is sitting with Ap Ansh came and sat in her lap and spoke
Ansh:Maasi will u also come to our house for everyday
Laksh:Ha champ ur maasi will stay with us when she got married with ur Sanskar chachu..
Ansh:Sacchi papa
With that Ansh squealed in joy and hugged swara tightly…All family members laughed at his antics..After sometime Dp spoke..
Dp:Sekhar ji I think swara and sanskar should talk alone for sometime..
Sekhar:Ji Dp i don't have any problem with this…Ragini take them to Garden..
Ragini:Ok papa
Swasan felt happy as they also want to speak to other but at the same time they are nervous…They followed Ragini towards Garden..Ragini left them alone and came back..Swasan sat there in garden opposite to each other..silence prevailed between them..Both r equally nervous..Finally after 5 mins sanskar broke the silence..
Sanskar:Umm…swara I will directly come to the point..I want to tell u abt my past before taking any decision so that we will not face any problems in future..
Swara jst nodded listening him as she wanted to listen him first then tell her past to him..Sanskar continued..
Sanskar:Swara I loved a girl named KAVITHA when I was in college..we both were in relation for 3 yrs…After studies I told mom dad abt my love and they agreed for me..they asked kavitha to meet them..One day kavitha came to meet my parents..At that time I was out for some work..I don't know what happen that day but after that mom and dad did not agree to make kavitha their bahu..but I was adamant that I will only marry kavitha or else I will not marry…Then my parents asked me to choose between them and kavitha..I was so blinded by her love that I choosed kavitha and left that house..
Sanskar is having tears in his eyes saying all these…Swara went towards him hesitantly and placed her hands in his shoulder..He wiped his tears and turned towards her and continued..
Sanskar:After leaving my house I went to kavitha…That day
Flashback Starts:
Sanskar went to kavitha after leaving his house..Kavitha is shocked seeing him and asked what is the matter..
Kavitha:Sanskar what r u doing here at this time..what happen to u
Sanskar:Kavitha mom dad didnt agree for our marriage so I left that house..
Kavitha(shocked):Sanskar what r you talking..this is wrong..u can't do this…go home now..we will talk to tomorrow..
Sanskar:No kavitha I am not gonna go back to that house..we r gonna get married tomorrow and thats final..
Kav–San got married the next day…Sanskar also got one simple job..they took one small house for rent and started living there..Sanskar is happy with his life but kavitha is not..Her behaviour is changed after marriage…She is not talking to Sanskar properly and not spending time with him..Sanskar found her behaviour weird but brushed his thoughts..Like this 6 months passed…
After 6 months
Night 9 p.m
Sanskar's house
Sanskar is seen roaming hear and there..tension is clearly visible in his face..He is talking to himself
Sanskar:Where did this kavitha go..it is becoming late and still she did not reach home..
At that time his phn rang..He answered the call and after sometime phn fell from his hands listening what other person spoke..Sanskar hurriedly ran out
He reached in front of hsptl and went inside..
Sanskar:Excuse me I got a call that my wife met with an accident..may I know in which room she is
Receptionist:Sir ur wife is no more..She died on the spot…her body is in mortury..u can go and meet her
Sanskar is numb hearing this…He felt his world is being snatched from him..H hurriedly went towards mortury and saw kavitha lying lifelessly..Her face is unrecognisable…He is hugging her and is crying miserably… (*Hey Bhagwan..Kya kya likhna padh raha hai mujhe…*)
He did her last rites and is living in her memories…After some days MF also came to know abt this and came for sanskar…They consoled him and took him with them to their home…
Flashback ends…
Sanskar is crying telling all these to swara while swara is consoling him…Soon sanskar composed himself and spoke..
Sanskar:Swara this is about me..now u decide whether u want to marry me or not..
Swara:Sanskar ji I don't have any problem to marry you but even I want to tell u something before u decide…
Sanskar:Ha say na swara..
Swara is abt to say smthing but interrupted by Ragini who came there to call them…They both went inside with Ragini and stood infront of elders..
Dp:So swara and sanskar what did u decide..
Sanskar:Papa I am on with this marriage…
Everyone smiled and Dp asked swara
Dp:Swara what abt u beta..
Swara thought for sometime and then nodded her head…
Elders are happy with their decision and congratulated them…They feed sweets to our swasan..Swara is thinking how to tell her past to Sanskar..Ragini noticed her and asked what is the matter through eyes..Swara nodded nothing and gave a smile….
They called pandit immediately to decide their wedding date…their engagement is fixed after 3 days and marriage after 1 week…Both the families congratulated each other…
Precap:Swara's past..
So finally Sanskar's past is revealed..So sry if u didn't like it..I tried to show it as much as I can…if u didn't like his past u can surely tell me…
Coming to the questions I asked in last part I answered 1st question and remaining questions I will be answering them slowly..Till then keep waiting..

Weight: 0.75 pounds
A MAN CALLED OVE by Fredrik Backman
April 5,2016 trade size paperback
Meet Ove. He�s a curmudgeon, the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him �the bitter neighbor from hell.� But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn�t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time?
Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove�s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents� association to their very foundations.

Arsenalna is a Metro station on the Red Line. It opened in 1960 and is named after the Kiev Arsenal Factory, founded in the 18th century as a production facility for the Russian army.
Just over 105 metres below ground, it is the deepest underground station in the world. This is due to geography. The station entrance lies at top of a steep valley next to the Dnieper River. The adjacent station, Dnipro, lies just above ground level close the river bank. In order avoid a steep descent, the Arsenalna had to be built on the same level.
To travel to the platforms passengers need to take two escalators. Going down from the entrance takes around 5 minutes.
Arsenalna Metro Station is convenient for those visiting Mariinsky Park and Shooters nightclub.
Pechersk Lavra (the Caves Monastery), Mystetski Arsenal (Art Arsenal), and Rodina Mat can also be reached from here (10 – 15 minute walk).

Dear visitor,
Daimler AG has undergone a reorganization. From November 1st, 2019, Mercedes-Benz AG will be the controller of this website within the meaning of the GDPR.
Privacy Statement (update as of November 1st, 2019)
Setting a vehicle in motion requires energy. Conventional powertrains burn fuel in order to convert heat into kinetic energy. Depending on the design of the combustion engine, the size and weight of the vehicle as well as the driver's driving style, there is a variation in the required quantity of fuel, the energy content of which is released by combustion. There is a direct correlation between the amount of fuel burned and the arising CO₂ emissions – the higher the fuel consumption, the higher the quantity of carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, there is a direct correlation between many comfort/safety functions and fuel consumption.
Apart from CO₂ emissions, other constituents of the exhaust gas are of relevance. This refers in particular to NOx (nitrogen oxides) and particulate emissions, which are taken into account in the assessment of modern diesel and petrol direct-injection engines. A distinction is made between the quantity of fuel consumed (CO₂ emissions) and the cleanliness of combustion (NOx, particulates).
Real Driving Emissions (RDE) describe a vehicle's emissions under real on-road conditions. To date, exhaust emissions measurements for type approval have taken place exclusively on dynamometers. With effect from March 2016, within defined limits, emissions must also be measured under real driving conditions.The RDE on-road test verifies whether the values determined in the laboratory are also met under real, vehicle-specific driving conditions. There is no set cycle; driving and measuring take place in real everyday traffic in compliance with the rules of the road. Together with the WLTP values communicated from September 2017, this represents a further important step towards a cleaner and less-polluting automotive future.
The RDE test procedure measures the exhaust emissions in a road test conducted under everyday conditions. The goal of the legislation is to cover 95 % of possible operating conditions. A PEMS (Portable Emissions Measurement System) is used to measure nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. At a later date, particulate emissions will also be measured. The vehicles are driven on public roads for between 90 and 120 minutes, approximately one third each on urban and extra-urban roads and on the motorway. An average speed of between 15 and 30 km/h is specified for city driving, while the speed on motorways is 90 and at least 110, but not higher than 145 km/h. The outside temperature must be between 0 and 30 °C, with the air conditioner on.
The RDE results of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, which were collected both by Mercedes-Benz as the manufacturer and also by independent, state-certified technical services, can be requested using a contact form while stating the PEMS test family of the relevant Mercedes-Benz vehicle.Contact form for RDE results
The PEMS test family number of the vehicle is available on the homepage of the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA).

Menu Update - Change Log v0-1-34
Major menu update
The biggest change for this update is the new menu and ui system. Menus now have better textures and animation so they look nice and are intuitive to use. There are now profiles. The player will create a profile at the start of the game and pick the difficulty. Currently the only way to change difficulty is to create a new profile.
The main menu has been replaced with the playground level. This level now has teleporters that can be used to start the game or select a level. The over all purpose of this level is to give players a chances to test out different modifications and weapons before the main games. Currently the modifications and weapons are disabled but they are the next focus for development.
The updated player movement from the previous update is now in the main game. There have been some small changes to the spaceship 1 level to improve performance. The old prototypes levels have been removed from the game as keeping them up-to-date is no longer worth it.
- New player movement
- Player is now affected by forces
- Jumping now costs energy

it's finally happening
My boring prediction: Blackhawks in six. There are things I wouldn't mind about a Bruins win, but I'm much more going for the Hawks, of course. If for no other reason that unlike 2010 I have a smartphone and I'd love to post live from a parade, or from seeing the Cup in a bar. Whatever happens, I'm able to enjoy this much, much more given that both teams are relatively recent Cup winners who ended a long drought. And it has an odd feeling since tonight's game is the first West-East game this season!

Guerrilla charging: theft or public service?
Solar Dave thinks you are. And he is taunting the authorities in Denver to fine the owner of the Tesla he found plugged in at the airport. He raises a question that should be settled quickly. And he points out one place where public charging solutions will be easier and cheaper to install than I first thought.
First let's dispel the notion that there are any serious financial implications for the garage. Solar Dave writes: "My first thought was, "hey that is not fair" and that is why is (sic) costs so much to park at DIA." As if. John Voelker at GreenCarReports.com ran the numbers and found that if the Tesla arrived on empty and slowly, completely refilled the battery over the next few days, it would cost $4.50. Parking costs the driver $18 per day. And if I want to get nit-picky, I'd point out that the garage doesn't incur the expense for cleaning up after the electric car's leaking oil nor the electricity to power the fans to exhaust the exhaust.
When we consider the question of public access to electricity for plug-in cars, we have to consider the social benefit. If plugging in at the airport (or work or some parking garage or mall) allows you take your electric car rather than a gasoline car, we all benefit from reduced emissions and petroleum consumption. These shared benefits are great enough to establish "rules of the road" that encourage access to power for cars. This is not new, actually. In our far northern states, one often finds free power available in parking lots to plug in engine block warmers. Given the low cost of the electricity and the social benefits, we should encourage a positive attitude about granting access to power for plug-in cars. If solar advocates such as Solar Dave don't get it, we've got our work cut out for us.
Dave inadvertently does point us toward a good policy as public infrastructure is installed this year. Airport long-term parking is one place where fast charging, even conventional Level II 240-volt 30 amp service, is faster than necessary. The cost to install 110-volt 20-amp outlets would likely be 10% the cost of purchasing and installing chargers (J1772-compliant EVSEs, in the parlance of the industry). Installing parking spaces with 110-volt power for plug-ins at airport long-term parking should be considered by metropolitan areas as they roll out public charging infrastructure.

I wonder how long it'll be before we see people combing through garages, unplugging people's cars, and "siphoning" the electricity out of the batteries?

Hi Marc,
I laughed a little when you talked about me "taunting" the DIA authorities. I guess you are right about that. I like to stir the pot if you know what I mean.
I'm all about being green, but I think a picture of a $110K car using a public outlet made me say "hmmmm".
I think my picture brings up some interesting questions that I thought might bring up some good discussion on my blog - which it has.
I might even have a video interview on this topic in a week or so on my blog with an expert on electric cars.

This is pretty interesting. I actually heard recently that electric cars that are plugged in during the day will be supplying the building with an alternate energy source. In California this will hope to make our water and energy process more efficient.
But my real concern is why is Tesla still the only sporty convertible car in the the hybrid department? I think other companies should add the convertible top to their hybrids.

JENSON Button and his wife Jessica lay unconscious and defenceless in bed as burglars ransacked their room and took her £250,000 engagement ring.
The couple were gassed in their sleep by raiders at a holiday villa they were renting in the south of France.
Police believe two experienced criminals pumped an anaesthetic gas into the property through its air conditioning vents.
Then, confident that Formula One star Jenson and the other occupants were out cold, they broke into the mansion in Saint-Tropez.
The intruders helped themselves to possessions worth more than £300,000. The items included Jessica's five-carat engagement ring — a three-stoned large teardrop design diamond set in a diamond-encrusted platinum band.
McLaren driver Jenson, 35 — who has a £71million fortune and is hotly tipped to be a new co-presenter of TV's Top Gear — paid around £250,000 for the ring.
He was gassed while in bed with model wife Jessica Michibata while three friends, who were on holiday with them, slept in other rooms.
Last night a source close to the former world champ said: "Police have told Jenson they're convinced the burglars gassed the house using the air conditioning units.
"Over the past five years it's becoming an increasingly common way for top criminals to launch raids on expensive properties in the area without being disturbed.
"Jenson is convinced that's what happened too.
"The burglars were in the same room as him and Jessica, rifling through all their drawers.
"But they weren't disturbed at all because the effects of the gas gives the burglars free rein.
"It was the same for their three other friends — they were all completely out of it.
"The first they were aware was when they woke up groggy the next morning and realised the house had been turned upside down.
"It was a terrifying experience for them to know these criminals were actually in the room with them."
Jenson, Jessica, 30, and the friends were so shaken up by the raid on Monday night that they left the villa the following day.
They were told the robbers were likely to have staked out the house for their entire stay.
The source added: "The police believe there were two criminals working together on the operation.
"They were scoping out the property for the days before the raid and looking at the times Jenson and the others were coming and going from the house.
"What's particularly terrifying for Jenson is that there were a couple of nights where the lads stayed out later and it was the girls left at the house alone.
"But police think it's likely the robbers went ahead with the plan only when they knew everyone at the house was fast asleep.
"They wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible once they'd spoken to police."
A spokesman for Button said: "Jenson, Jessica and friends were on holiday in a rented villa in St Tropez when on Monday evening two men broke into the property while they all slept.
"(They) stole a number of items of jewellery including, most upsettingly, Jessica's engagement ring.
"The police have indicated that this has become a growing problem in the region with perpetrators going so far as to gas their proposed victims through the air conditioning units before breaking in.
"Whilst unharmed everyone involved is unsurprisingly shaken by the events."
Jenson and Jessica, who grew up in Japan, married in December, after a long courtship that began when they met in 2008.
He dedicated his World Championship win to her the next year.
Jenson was ranked the third richest British sports star in this year's Sunday Times Sport Rich List.
He was topped only by current Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton and footballer Wayne Rooney.
Button's racing future is unclear, with talk of a move to Williams for the next season instead of partnering Fernando Alonso.
Jenson, who has had 15 Grand Prix wins, made his Formula One debut for Williams in 2000.
He then moveds on to Benetton/Renault, BAR, which became Honda and then Brawn, and finally McLaren.
Raiders' knockout blows to the rich
THE French Riviera has proved a hotbed for gangs targeting wealthy holidaymakers with gas.
In 2006 cops arrested five people who were suspected of a gassing raid at the home of former Arsenal and France footballer Patrick Vieira.
Thieves made off with jewellery and a Mercedes.
In 2010, Brit Lisa Smythe was the victim of an £80,000 robbery while staying in Valbonne, near Nice, when she was gas-sed through a letterbox.
In the same year Michael McClean and wife Lucy lost £30,000 of their belongings including her engagement ring.
It is believed the thieves used gas to knock them out as they slept in their villa in Antibes, around 60 miles from Saint-Tropez.
Last year Debbie Keeney and partner Bob John, of Marston, Kent, were robbed of around £500 when thieves piped gas into their camper van near Marseille.

Well, that was an experience!
Road racing sure is something different. Something lonely. My first race as a postcollegiate athlete came and went, and it was tough. Now the race was undoubtedly stacked: going up against professional athletes the caliber of Chris Derrick, Shadrack Kipchirchir, Donn Cabral and others is no mean feat, but even considering, I didn't perform quite as well as I'd liked.
We were all part of a giant pack going into the mile. Shane and I both felt pretty good coming through in a solid 4:30. Then, the top guys started going for it and, despite our best efforts, we couldn't hang on and each had to grind out the second half of the race completely alone. I got passed by one person and didn't pass anyone the entire second half of the race, coming in around 14:40 for the full 5k–ten seconds slower than I had last year.
I'm not complaining too much: I still had fun and even grabbed a high-five from some kids in the crowd in the final 100 meters, and while I would have liked to have bettered last year's performance, this was a different kind of race, so, unfortunately, it wasn't in the cards. Also, the training effect of racing will undoubtedly bring some life back into my legs and you can bet I look forward to that.
Anyway, I'm excited to get in a nice block of training before the next race. I just picked up my schedule and these workouts look like a blast. My next main event will be the Mayor's Cup in late October, so you can bet I'll be rested and ready to compete then.
Until next time!

The materials which involve in the process of the high pressure to create cracks in the deep rocks and blow holes for making free flow of gas, petroleum and brine are called stimulation materials. Trends in the stimulation materials market such as mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, collaboration and agreement and novel products launch by the industry players are the factor which is boosting the growth of the stimulation market. In May 2017, the multistage fracturing service for the deep water was in traduced by the Baker Hughes. Increasing number of the novel products by the industry players, greater demand and development in the unconventional gas resources, emerging growth in the mature oil fields and increasing demand for the Frac sand mining is contributing for the high growth of the stimulation materials market. Frac sand is having the fastest growth in the stimulation material market for the broad applicability in the oil and natural gas mills, demand for the pure and durable sand for mining. But, In July 2018, Winona County in the U.S. banned Frac sand mining. Stimulation materials market size will be growing with a CAGR of 8.89% during 2019-2024, and geographically, North America is contributing to the dominant market share of 39% in the global stimulation materials market.
The key players in the stimulation materials market
Middle East and Africa are holding the second dominant market share in global stimulation materials market because of increased drilling and oil and gas production activities. Gelling agents and friction reducers are witnessing tremendous growth in the stimulation materials market owing to their increasing usage in the process of the crude oil flow from the well. Stimulation chemicals are used largely in the Canada and U.S. is the dominant market in the North American region.In an upcoming couple of decades, there will be an increasing number of opportunities in the stimulation materials market because of the vast advancements in the technologies for drilling and increasing offshore operations, and these factors are primarily boosting the growth of the stimulation market in the upcoming future. As per the envision inteligence analysis on stimulation materials market, the increasing price of the oil and gas, demand for the coupled low-cost natural gas resources which is witnessing for the growth of the industry players to manufacture the novel stimulation materials these are the factors owes in the growth of the stimulation materials market. North America is contributing to the high growth and followed by the Middle East & Africa, and in an upcoming couple of decades, the stimulation materials market is endorsing high growth in the stimulation materials market.

You Hate Me. You Really Really Hate Me
Every once in a while, I get a genuine "hate-o-gram" in my email. Somebody, out in the great cosmos of the web, actually sits down, takes the time, constructs a carefully worded letter, telling me "what a bad writer I am," how boring my weblog is, or how I should just "write normally." I, usually, read these letters, and mark them for deletion about as quickly as I mark the "enlarge your penis in ten minutes" emails that come my way. It just doesn't make for interesting reading, there's nothing I can do about my writing style, and this is "normal" for me. I've tried explaining to folks in the past that, "this is just how I write" and it customarily falls upon deaf ears.
Since I'm not really a writer, I can't possibly be considered a "good" writer, can I? Since I update the content on this site only because I want to improve my writing skills, sort of "flex the muscles" if you will, you can't really expect me to come out with some mind-blowing hysterically funny posting every ten minutes, can you? I mean, if I could do that, I wouldn't be writing a web-log, I'd be off in the sunset writing best selling novels, Hollywood screenplays, or some other "valid" work. That's just how the web, specifically the land of the blog, works. It's cheap, easy, and free but you get what you pay for.
I happened across a website today that talked about the elements that makeup a "good" blog. Now, these elements, while all subjective, don't belong to me. They were passed off by a "design expert" who, presumably, knows what he's talking about.
He says the five things that makeup a "good blog" are: candor, urgency, timeliness, pithiness, and controversy. (I don't think I really even know what some of these things actually mean. I mean, how can you write with "candor" and what exactly is "pithiness?")
Even if I did the candor, urgent, timely, pithy, controversial blog of the century, I'm convinced that there'd be somebody out there who would take the time to actually sit down and write me an email, "Dude, you sooo need to write like all normal and stuff."
And I would pay about as much honor and attention to an email that starts off "Dude" as I would to one that starts off "Enlarge your penis" but, hey, that's just me. What do I know? It's not like I'm a "design expert" or anything.
Until next time...

Cementless fly ash binder makes concrete 'green'
Rice University engineers use byproduct from coal-fired power plants to replace Portland cement
HOUSTON – (June 18, 2018) – Rice University engineers have developed a composite binder made primarily of fly ash, a byproduct of coal-fired power plants, that can replace Portland cement in concrete.
The material is cementless and environmentally friendly, according to Rice materials scientist Rouzbeh Shahsavari, who developed it with graduate student Sung Hoon Hwang.
Fly ash binder does not require the high-temperature processing of Portland cement, yet tests showed it has the same compressive strength after seven days of curing. It also requires only a small fraction of the sodium-based activation chemicals used to harden Portland cement.
The results are reported in the Journal of the American Ceramic Society.
More than 20 billion tons of concrete are produced around the world every year in a manufacturing process that contributes 5 to 10 percent of carbon dioxide to global emissions, surpassed only by transportation and energy as the largest producers of the greenhouse gas.
Manufacturers often use a small amount of silicon- and aluminum-rich fly ash as a supplement to Portland cement in concrete. "The industry typically mixes 5 to 20 percent fly ash into cement to make it green, but a significant portion of the mix is still cement," said Shahsavari, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering and of materials science and nanoengineering.
Previous attempts to entirely replace Portland cement with a fly ash compound required large amounts of expensive sodium-based activators that negate the environmental benefits, he said. "And in the end it was more expensive than cement," he said.
The researchers used Taguchi analysis, a statistical method developed to narrow the large phase space — all the possible states — of a chemical composition, followed by computational optimization to identify the best mixing strategies.
This greatly improved the structural and mechanical qualities of the synthesized composites, Shahsavari said, and led to an optimal balance of calcium-rich fly ash, nanosilica and calcium oxide with less than 5 percent of a sodium-based activator.
"A majority of past works focused on so-called type F fly ash, which is derived from burning anthracite or bituminous coals in power plants and haslow calcium content," Shahsavari said. "But globally, there are significant sources of lower grade coal such as lignite or sub-bituminous coals. Burning them results in high-calcium, or type C, fly ash, which has been more difficult to activate.
"Our work provides a viable path for efficient and cost-effective activation of this type of high-calcium fly ash, paving the path for the environmentally responsible manufacture of concrete. Future work will assess such properties as long-term behavior, shrinkage and durability."
Shahsavari suggested the same strategy could be used to turn other industrial waste, such as blast furnace slag and rice hulls, into environmentally friendly cementitious materials without the use of cement.

The Philippines has always been known to have some of the best places to scuba dive in the world, and this has been evidenced by the number of foreign tourists who flock the various dive destinations scattered all over the archipelago. Each dive location is in a different league of its own, so even if you have been diving in these sites for quite a while you will never get tired of seeing the magnificent underwater views and the diverse marine life - some of which can only be found in Philippine seas.
Those who have done some diving in the country will be able to tell you that dive conditions are almost perfect the whole year round, except perhaps for the monsoons that are a normal occurrence in the country. Warm waters and gentle to strong currents are part of the overall beauty of these dive sites, making them excellent for divers regardless of the expertise. Diving is not the only thing that can be offered though, as some of these locations are also hot spots for entertainment and world class leisure, just like Puerto Galera which is the chief of these.
Diving in the Philippines cannot be considered complete without having a dive experience in Puerto Galera. Declared by UNESCO as a marine reserve, the site is a home to various species of fish and other marine life, including magnificent coral reefs. This is why underwater photographers from across the globe list Puerto Galera as one of the best places to scuba dive and see the most exotic marine life.
Dive spots found in Puerto Galera include La Laguna point which is a very popular spot for beginners mainly because of its calm waters and gentle currents. It is just west of Sabang and is characterized by a short wall of 40-50 feet that houses a multitude of reef fishes, soft corals, and nudibranches.
The Pink wall is also one of the best places to scuba dive in Puerto Galera and is known as such for the various pink and cup corals that give it its distinct color. This dive site is perfect for night diving, having calm waters during flood tide.
Diving in the Philippines can also be in the form of wreck diving, and this is what you get in Coron, Palawan. Sunken World War II ships are the main attraction for this site that has been a home for the great number of reef fish and other marine animals for quite a few decades now. One who has experienced diving in Coron will surely include it in his or her list of the best places to scuba dive in the world.
Of course, these are just two of the most beautiful places found in the Philippines where you can spend a vacation and head for a scuba diving adventure. Affordable diving packages make these locations some of the most-loved sites in the country for both locals and foreigners alike. If your passion is for scuba diving, then go ahead and try it in some of the best places to scuba dive in the Philippines!

17 – Paradise Regrets
John often thought about her, he couldn't help it, they had been a couple for the vast majority of his life and he had known her before he could remember anything else.
Carol Ann had always been a part of his life.
His earliest childhood memories were playing with her in the small plastic pool in her family garden, their mums sitting together on the patio, knitting and making casseroles or stews waiting on the fathers to come home on the train to Cambuslang from their offices in Glasgow.
In their teenage years, lying fully clothed in her single bed, cuddling and laughing. They had agreed that they must have been about three at the time. Aged three, but they had known each other since birth as the evidence was in the photographs tucked away in the family album from each others christenings. Those grainy faded images showed that they played together as babies, crawling round under tables, playing with teddies, slept together in his parents large bed surrounded by pillows.
They had looked at these old albums many times over the years, laughed about them.
But although the evidence was there, they were far too young to actually have any real memories, only those pseudo-memories that the brain magically manufactures when you get told the same story time and time again, making it real.
Having such close documented memories was very reassuring, it was something that they had both held close to them. These secure memories kept them together even when things were tough, when he was made redundant in the early 80s when Thatcher made her cuts and mortgages rates went sky-high a year or two later.
Times were hard but they had each other.
Isn't that the way it's always meant to be?
As was expected, and had been agreed by their parents, they got married, both of them aged 21, because her dad wouldn't allow it any sooner.
Their wedding was a huge affair, 400 guests at Saint Brides Church for the formalities and the reception at The Burnside Hotel, back when it really was quite a plush place and it was difficult to get a booking for a Saturday in June then.
But they were both well known in the area and Carol Ann's friend Julie worked in the reception and made sure that they had their name down for the first cancellation.
They must have heard the phrase "childhood sweethearts" at least a zillion times, as their aunts on both sides, neighbours and everyone they knew from growing up next-door to each other in Wellshot Drive had called them over the years.
Childhood sweethearts, a match made in heaven, now Mr and Mrs John and Carol Ann McIver and fulfilling their destiny of carrying on the family lines.
Well so everyone thought.
But John, Carol Ann and her mum Ruby knew a little differently.
Carrying on the family line had been the least of their problems in the days before the wedding. The only good thing was that the timing was fortunate.
Carol Ann was a good Catholic girl, she'd told him straight "If you want to get into my knickers John McIver then you'll have to put a ring on that finger" pointing the said finger into his face and letting him know her expectations in no uncertain terms.
He'd begged her for a little, just a little, but eventually relented, it was going to happen anyway, their future was already mapped out for them and the parents were already talking about where they would live and the size of house they would need for a growing young family.
"He could remember everything thing as if it happened only yesterday"
A line from Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", how they loved that song at the time, it had been one of their favourites when they were 15 and now at 20, engaged to be married this summer and John almost finished his apprenticeship as an engineer at the Hoover factory just of the main street.
Whenever they could, they would tell their parents that they were visiting friends or going to the cinema and would spend their nights kissing and fumbling in the back of his dad's Ford Cortina parked at the top of the Cathkin Braes.
Those fantastic night views of Glasgow being totally ignored for a glimpse at her bra, then months later her breasts, then as time passed her nipples, a kiss at them, a small suck at each of them, just for a minute but that was as far as she would go.
There was no way she was going to do anything else or let him do anything else.
Well not until that night that they went to see Julie's baby, a short drive from Cambuslang to Carmunock to Julie and Roberts small flat.
They had already seen the baby in the hospital of course, but this was more a wetting-the-babies head, a small party for close friends with Julie's mum taking the baby away at 10pm so that the young ones could have a bit of time on their own to celebrate.
Carol Ann didn't really drink, she never has so the wine went straight to her head.
She was drunk quite quickly, not falling around, but giggly and laughing because she couldn't get up from the sofa to go to the loo.
And of course she loved everyone, hugging Julie and telling her and Robert that she wanted to get pregnant as soon as they were married.
By the time they were heading for home at 2am, John had to help her to the car as she wasn't very stable on her feet. He was working the Sunday morning overtime and wasn't really drinking, but back then everybody drove with more than the legal limit, it was only the four pints, who can't drive a car on four pints, eh?
Carol Ann, hugged him the minute he got in the driver side, sliding across to hold him, slobbering over the side of his face and telling him how much she loved him.
A few minutes later, driving up the hill to the west end of the braes, he was shocked when she put his hand between his legs and told him that she wanted a baby, that she wanted to make lots of babies.
John took turned off the main Cathkin Road that crosses the Braes into the road that looped around the farms and led up to East Kilbride. They pulled into their usual place at the entrance to Coulter's Wood, a quiet little spot where he could park the car behind the trees and they were shielded from any passing cars, not that there were many cars passing this way at any time of day and even less so at this time of night.
John wanted to hold her,, kiss her, tell her how much he wanted her, that he couldn't wait to be married to her and that he would love her forever.
But she beat him too it, as soon as he pulled on the handbrake, her hands were behind his neck pulling him to her, telling him for the second time that she loved him, that she wanted him and she wanted to make lots of babies with him.
John had never saw her pissed before and liked her in this giggly state.
He allowed her to pull his head towards him, leaning over the seats of the Cortina, kissing her then running his right hand from her waist to her breast without any resistance or attempt to push him away.
She kissed him deeper, lustily, pushing her tongue in his mouth.
This was a new experience for John, he'd spoke about this in the factory, with the other apprentices and young tradesmen. Those bawdy conversations about the women they had fucked. John was sure that most of it was made up, guys all bull-shitting each other, it was setting a pecking order, he knew that.
But it was also informative, those little bits of secret knowledge about how to touch her, what girls like and how you can tell if they want you. Apparently if a girl puts her tongue in your mouth she wants you to fuck her.
He didn't actually believe that Carol Ann wanted to have sex, but he was happy to go with the flow. He wanted her, they were getting married in a few months time so what difference would it make?
He tested his luck, unbuttoning the front of her red blouse, pulling away from her so that he could look her in the eye as he did so.
She looked doe-eyed, frightened and bit her lip as he undid the buttons. Pausing slightly before he pulled the blouse open to reveal her.
"You do love me John? Tell me that you love me and you'll never leave me"
"Baby, I've loved you all my life, we've always been together, we're getting married in June, we'll make our promises in front of everyone, but I'm telling you now, I will never leave you." He held her eye, making sure that she knew that she meant it.
"And now our bodies are oh so close and tight, it never felt so good, it never felt so right"
They made love right there on the front seat of the Cortina, the seat reclined and his jeans at his ankles. There was rushed desperateness about it, he wanted to fuck her before she changed her mind. He wanted to know what the fuss was about, he hoped that if took this chance and they did it once, then she would always let him do it.
But she wasn't changing her mind, she wanted him, pulled him towards her as he entered her, then held him as he came inside her thrusting and grunting in ecstasy within moments of being inside her.
Then she started to cry, her tears sliding down her face.
He didn't understand and asked her why. He wasn't really used to dealing with female emotion and this was all new to him physically and emotionally. Not that he could have verbalised that at the time as he didn't have anything like the necessary life experience.
"Because life will never be the same now" And she kissed him, saying that she had no regrets, but he had better marry her now.
Looking back at it now, it had felt so good and so right.
He had no regrets and would not change a thing. Back then he loved her with all his heart. He still loved her, he knew that would always be true.
"You got to do what you can, And let Mother Nature do the rest"
Sometimes what you regret are things that you can't change, you just wish that it had turned out differently. That somehow it had meant to be and if you believe in angels that you're angel had been looking after you better that day.
The car crash was small, a bump, but Carol Ann had been thrown forward, no-one wore seat-belts back in those days. A week later, she was ill and it wasn't getting better.
Her doctor at Stonelaw Road surgery ordered an emergency ambulance for Rutherglen Maternity, where after a few tests, she'd lost the baby that they never knew they were having.
This was the week before the wedding, the day itself became traumatic rather than joyful.
There were brave faces from the childhood sweethearts and promises that he would never leave her. Their dads looking so proud showing them off to all their friends. Ruby crying the tears of the Mother-Of The-Bride trying to put a happy face on for her girl and sobbing for the loss of the baby that never was.
John promised Carol Ann, that they would have another baby, that it happened once and that it would happen again, but his words were empty, despite all the tests, despite trying desperately, it just never happened for them.
Now lying beside Aileen, his new partner, heavily pregnant with their child. His only regret was that the loss of the baby had left him feeling unfulfilled for the vast majority of his life and that it hadn't happened with Carol Ann.
