Aviation and military buffs and about 200,000 of their closest friends are expected to attend the biennial air show at March Air Reserve Base this weekend.
"Air Fest 2010: Thunder over the Empire" -- which takes place Saturday and Sunday -- will feature aerial acrobatics, skydiving demonstrations and other events. Attendees also will be given the opportunity to tour the air field.
"The crowd is in for a real treat," said U.S. Air Force Reserve Maj. Donald Traud, public affairs director for March. "There will be a lot of things for everybody."
Traud said spectators are sure to be wowed by the amount of military hardware on display.
"The Army has brought in virtual reality tents, where people can be placed in simulated combat situations and help save the world," he said.
The air show gets under way at 10 a.m. Saturday with a skydiving demonstration by parachutists from Perris who will unfurl an American flag prior to landing, according to organizers.
Jet fighter demos are scheduled in the afternoon. An Air Force F-15 Strike Eagle and Navy F/A-18 Hornet will run through low-altitude exercises, according to organizers.
There will be no cost for parking or admittance to the base.

An intense storm front ripped through southern and eastern Finland on Saturday evening, causing travel disruptions, power outages, and delays to performances at Helsinki's Flow Festival. Strong winds gusting up to 30 metres per second, dozens of lightning strikes, and heavy rain prompted the Finnish Meteorological Institute to issue a severe weather warning as summer storm 'Kiira' approached.
Trains, Planes Affected
The Finnish Transport Agency says all trains between Lahti and Helsinki are running via Riihimäki as a result of storm damage to the rail network. Passengers from Haarajoki and Mäntsälä are being taken by replacement bus service.
According to the transport agency, problems with the track equipment were caused by the storm, and there's no estimate yet on how long the repairs will take.
There were also some delays reported on the Ring Line railway which connects the Central Railway Station to the airport in a loop.
Meanwhile, Finnavia warned passengers of potential flight disruptions for arriving and departing flights at Helsinki Airport, ahead of Saturday evening's storm.
Power Cuts
More than 32,000 people in southern Finland people were left without power as summer storm Kiira tracked across the region.
The majority of power outages were in Espoo, where 12,000 people are without electricity.
Caruna, the electricity grid operator, says that customers will get their power back, but due to the danger posed by the storms, repair crews aren't able to work on the network until the weather situation improves.
Flow Interrupted
Some 25,000 people attending Helsinki's popular Flow Festival were also caught in the storm on Saturday night.
Organizer temporarily suspended performances on some of the stages, and stopped people coming into the venue at Suvilahti power station as the storm hit.
Flow Festival tweeted that several acts had been canceled and the Lapin Kulta Red Arena needed repairs before the programme could continue and audience safety was assured. By 22:00 on Saturday evening, Flow tweeted that the Black Tent and Red Tent venues were still undergoing safety inspections, but they hoped to open both soon and re-start the music.
The Finnish Meteorological Institute tracked the storm across the Helsinki Metropolitan area, continuing east to the South Savo and Karelia regions. While winds weakened, the threat of lightning strikes continues, with the heavest expected around Lappeenranta and Mikkeli.

Mazury AirShow 2018 Highlights To Expect
Written by Jakub Fajfer– Mazury AirShow 2018, XX anniversary edition is scheduled from August 4th to 5th of 2018. We would like to present all the expected stars to the readers of Seaplanemagazine.com. At the moment of preparing this article we can not 100% guarantee that all of them will really make it to the event, but all of them promised to try and make it happen.
We expect some very special guests. We are very happy and proud, that for 5 consecutive years, our event had the pleasure of gathering more and more seaplanes. This year we have already surpassed our own record number of pilots participating. They are going to come from Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Spain, Italy, France, Great Britain, Russia, Sweden and Norway. And we still have room for many more! So, if you would like to join us with your seaplane, there is still time to contact us.
We do expect seaplanes and amphibious airplanes from classic to very modern, from single to multi engine, from two to 10 seats, powered by engines which range from 100 horsepower to more than 2.000 horsepower! While talking about 2,000 horses powering a flying object, our biggest and brightest star will be a special lady which is celebrating her 80th birthday this year, the great Catalina PBY.
We have aircraft from the military, as well!
In this category we expect, among others a C-130 Hercules. It is one of biggest and the only military aircraft to remain in continuous production for over 50 years. When talking about its power it use four Allison T56-A-15 with 4'300 horsepower each! A few more numbers: empty weight – more than 34 tons, payload – almost as much with an amazing 33 tons. And with these numbers, the take off distance is still way less than 1'100 m loaded and less than 430 m empty. More info about that plane on our webpage. Military transport aircraft will be represented also by the M-28 Bryza / Skytruck
Another one, both military and huge, will be Poland's biggest aerobatic team from the Air Force the "White-Red Sparks". The team is displaying seven jet aircraft which are called TS-11 "Spark". These airplanes have very characteristic painting according to the design of Ireneusz Fibinger. Another candles of the cake as they celebrate this year, exactly as us, 20th anniversary.
We further expect the Lithuanian aerobatic Presidential Team ANBO, which is just now returning from air shows in China. This team is performing on 3 or 4 Yak-50/Yak-52 aircrafts. One of the ANBO pilots is the former prime minister and president of Lithuania – Rolandas Paksas. They plan to display in four aircraft this year. More interresting facts about ANBO on our webpage.
We also expect a solo aerobatic pilot. At Mazury AirShow you can admire pilots who have dedicated themselves to the art of piloting. They will be performing on Extra aircraft. Planes which are capable of reaching flight speeds of over 400 km/h, pulling +/- 10G in maneuvers and rolling ore than 400 degrees per second. More about that fascinating aircraft also on our webpage.
If fixed wing airplanes don't quite rock your boat, there are beautiful Helicopters attending the show!
Throughout our event you can see the Mi-24 – a Soviet helicopter which has reached iconic status in the battlefield as one of the most powerful in the world, which, despite being in production since 1970 has not lived long enough to see its peer in the armies of western countries. The maximum takeoff weight exceeds 11 tons. Equipped with two turbojet engines with of 2'200 hp each, are able to accelerate the colossus to a speed of 335 km/h. For that purpose they have fuel tanks holding 2'130 l. More here.
Another military helicopter will be the W-3 Falcon belonging to a Search & Rescue Squad in the Air Force. The helo is operated since January 1st, 2009 and since spends 365 days a year, 24 hours a day on rescue duty. Based in the 23rd Tactical Air Base in Minsk Mazowiecki. More here
Civilian Helicopters expected are the Eurocopter EC-120 "Colibri and and the Hughes 269 / Schweizer 300.
Close relatives of helicopters even if only in appearance are Gyrocopters. We will host the 57.-Team, which is our one of our favorites, always performing a bit more than one would expect while putting a lot of smoke in the air.
Another historically significant aircraft and probably the shiniest one may well be the Dacota DC-3/47 Skytrain.
"Daisy" is her name and she will arrive here from Sweden. She is also this year celebrating her 80th birthday. Build in 1943 by Douglas in Long Beach (California, USA), she is an exact sister of the C-47-60-DL Skytrain. She played her part in World War II on the side of the U.S. Air Force. First deployed on missions in Algeria and later on in England. After the war she was sold to a Swedish company ABA and became one of the first aircraft of the Swedish airline SAS. Why we wrote DC-3/47 (as that are two different aircraft's) and many other stories you can find here on our webpage.
Much smaller but also interesting will be a replica of the RWD-5R, the aircraft in which Stanisław Skarzynski crossed the Atlantic with in 1933. Sure, it wasn't the first transatlantic flight but until today it is the smallest aircraft to cross the Atlantic Ocean flown by a pilot in a suit and tie… Why? More here.
An-2 "Viennese" – the original and pretty unique plane which is associated with a dramatic story that took place in a time when martial-law was the law of the land in Poland. One spring day in 1982, one of the crews performing training and operational flights on this plane decided to flee the country to Austria. After making a stop over in a meadow near Krakow and taking away the families of airmen, the plane made a low altitude flight in the difficult mountainous terrain of Czechoslovakia and Austria, before safely landing at the Vienna airport. More about Viennese and An-2 general you can read here.
This is only part of the Aircraft planned for Mazury AirShow. A full list can be found on our website, which is also available in English. We look forward to welcoming you in the beautiful Masuria Lake region this year! www.mazuryairshow.pl

There used to be a time where taking off you clothes and swimming naked was the norm for kids. What you had to watch out for was someone taking your clothes and tying them into difficult knots.
Theodore Roosevelt is making a Third Party run for President under the Progressive Party which is the only party that endorses Woman Suffrage. In its continued criticism of the ex-president's campaign which they consider a "guerilla party", HARPER'S portrays him as a vaudeville act.

Bama vs Ohio State..oops…UPDATE…
Posted by Pete | Posted in News | Posted on 12-12-2014
Alabama should not have a lot of trouble beating Ohio State….Should it?….Well, let me think. You know it is Urban Meyers and Coach Saban did not return his phone calls back when he was looking for a job while Saban was coach at Toledo and Nick did have a line backer coaching position available, just what Meyers was looking for….Well, I wouldn't think to much about that but it might have been a burr under Urban's saddle because in 2009 at the Sugar Bowl Meyers brought his Utah Utes in to beat Alabama 31 – 17. Now, I still think it will be ok, even with a more renown Ohio State team, but please remember Coach that Meyer's may still be pissed off at you, so be prepared….I just thought I would bring it up again so you would not be surprised by him this time….Coach Nick probably will not read this entry, so if you guys see him, remind him, ok….Well, he may remember….. you reckon?……. UPDATE…….So none of you guys told Nick about the burr under Coach Meyers saddle, huh? They played with the 3rd string QB….What the heck would the score have been if the number one quarterback had played? Bama got beat, pure and simple…. Nice game, Buckeyes….


text: A Bosnian-Muslim woman prays at a memorial wall with the names of the Srebrenica victims [Elvis Barukcic/AFP/Getty Images] United Nations appeals judges on Wednesday will hand down a final verdict in the case of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, a key figure in the Balkan wars who is serving a 40-year prison sentence for genocide. The ruling will likely bring to a close one of the highest-profile trials stemming from the series of wars in the 1990s that saw the bloody collapse of the former Yugoslavia and death of at least 100,000 Bosnians. Karadzic, 73, was convicted in 2016 for the July 1995 Srebrenica massacre of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys by Bosnian Serb forces. He was also found guilty of leading a campaign of ethnic cleansing that drove Croats and Muslims out of Serb-claimed areas of Bosnia. On appeal, prosecutors are seeking a life sentence and a second genocide conviction for his alleged role in that policy of targeting non-Serbs across several Bosnian towns in the early years of the war. Karadzic, meanwhile, is appealing against his conviction and wants a retrial. Radovan Karadzic found guilty of genocide (2:26) The ruling, which is final and cannot be challenged on appeal, will have huge resonance in the former Yugoslavia, especially in Bosnia, where ethnic communities remain divided and Karadzic is still seen as a hero by many Bosnian Serbs. The judgment will be read out at 2pm local time (13:00 GMT) in The Hague at a UN court handling cases left over when the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia closed its doors in 2017. A delegation of the association of Mothers of Srebrenica will be in the Netherlands for the judgment. "If Karadzic does not get what he deserves, then this will mean that there is no justice in this world," Munira Subasic, president of the group who lost 22 close relatives in the killings, told AFP news agency ahead of the verdict. Genocide Karadzic is the highest-ranking person to face a reckoning before the UN tribunal. 160327093504907 A psychiatrist by vocation, Karadzic emerged as the Bosnian Serb political leader shortly before Yugoslavia began disintegrating in a series of wars in 1991. In hiding for nearly a decade, Karadzic was arrested and handed over to the court in July 2008. Karadzic used a campaign of sniping and shelling, targeting the capital Sarajevo's civilians as a way of furthering his political goals during the 1992-95 war, a judge ruled. There were 8,372 victims in Srebrenica. Karadzic had long been accused of orchestrating the 1995 slaughter after Serb forces seized the UN's Srebrenica "safe area" in eastern Bosnia. Karadzic denies criminal role in Balkans war (2:49) SOURCE: News agencies Bosnia Former Yugoslavia Genocide Europe

Marvin's F5, a day late and a few dollars short:
"The movie isn't as good as the book," is a phrase we hear a lot. Describe five movie moments?in movies adapted from books, plays, or stories?that could or should have been done better, in your humble opinion.
Oh boy. THis is a tough question, because, well, I usually don't read books upon which movies have been based. You see, I'm an incredibly slow reader, and so I have a huge backlog of books I want to read. When a "classic story" shows up as a movie, I often see the movie without having read the book. I know, that's pathetic for a so-called writer. But it's the truth.
Sometimes it makes me want to read the book, but since I'm quite a new-plot-addict, I often tend to read a book which I've not seen in movie form, first. So, it might be hard for me to come up with five examples. However, I can list of tons of movie moments which could have been better, so I might fill out the list with some of those.
- Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. My favorite part of the trilogy (in print form) was when the hobbits got back to Hobbiton to find it, too, was a shambles. This, to me, framed the whole narrative in a way that completely changed it. Wickedness is not something "out there", it's available everywhere, it has its place even in one's own idyllic abode. While I knew that it would be left out of the movies, to me it is absolutely definitive of the story and belongs in. I wish it'd been in the extended version of the movie, but I suppose that would mean another installment in the series. Again, it's just something that maybe couldn't be done in the movie, and could only be done in print. Brilliant ending, though it took me a while to warm up to it. I wish I could have seen that realized competently onscreen. The movie trilogy was good, don't get me wrong: the elf-dwarf thing was a little too cutesy, and there were some other problems, but really my main complaint was missing an ending that most people wouldn't appreciate, but which makes the book what it is.
- Orlando. The Sally Potter adaptation of Virginia Woolf's Orlando is (as many commenters have agreed) a wonderful piece of film, and very much a film. There are things that could not be done in print which are done in this movie, and on its own, it's an amazing piece of work. And yet, the original novel has so many things in it which could not be done on film. The neat switched-ending of the movie is good, is damned fine, but the ending of the novel is better, in its way. Or, perhaps, they're both glorious and simply untranslatable. If you've not seen the movie, you should try.
- Dangerous Liasons/Valmont. As everyone knows, these are both adaptations from the novel Les liasons dangereuses, by some person named Choderlos de Laclos. It's been ages since I've seen either movie, though a Korean remake has been released and that's why it's still fresh in my mind. In any case, I remember thinking that Valmont was a superior film, but that there were elements in each which were superior to the others' rendition. I haven't read the book, but I think a combination of the two films would be the best representation of the story, novel or no.
- The Passion of Christ. This film sucked shit, and if the director had cared to, you know, include any of the meaningful philosophy involved, it might have been less of a snuff film and more of a meaningful remake of a film that's been done many times before, better. The Bible was not, all in all, a horror movie. Anyway, using the rest of the story might have helped some, I think. Something other than just the mentions of torutre, the trial, and the crucifixion. I'm not even linking this movie, since it's such a piece of garbage.
- Dune. Sorry, this might be heresy, but the special effects were trash and the acting wasn't all that hot. The remedy for the perception that SF is juvenile is not to make it look juvenile and meet expectations, you know. Why make it all dreamy and druggy when you could instead be more minimalist? Don't try to do something: do it, or don't do it. And Sting never was an actor. Never. Good singer, okay musician. Not at actor. Oh, but there was a BBC miniseries, 6 hours long, and that version of Dune was much better.

Investigation launched by Church for Sizer's '9-11/Israel did it' post
The Church of England has launched an investigation after the Jewish News revealed that a Guildford vicar removed a Facebook post which linked to an article entitled '9-11/Israel did it' – but asked Jewish News to show him articles refuting such claims.
Rev. Stephen Sizer, who is well-known for his anti- Israel views, posted a link to an article which, among other things, sought to connect wealthy American Jews to the attacks on the terrorist attacks, through their ownership of buildings, political affiliations or links to Israel.
Get The Jewish News Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up
"Is this anti-Semitic?" he asked online. "It raises so many questions."
After outrage in the Jewish community, Board vice president Jonathan Arkush, who pushed for Sizer to remove the link, said: "Posting, and giving approval to, an article which in effect accuses Jews of responsibility for the 9/11 atrocity is unquestionably anti-Semitic, just as it is beyond absurd."
In reaction to the post, The Bishop of Dorking, the Right Revd Ian Brackley, said the Diocese of Guildford, which Sizer's Virginia Water parish is within, is urgently investigating. He said "I want to reassure everyone that we are taking this complaint extremely seriously."
A spokesman for the Church of England added: "These comments would rightly be seen as unacceptable whenever they were posted. It is a matter of deep sorrow and shame that they have been posted in this week of all weeks.
Despite having removed the post, Sizer seemed to defend his actions in an email to the Jewish News, saying: "I would welcome articles you can recommend refuting the allegations."
Noting that many Americans feel 9/11 was "an inside job," Sizer added: "It is essential the public become convinced of what happened before and after 9/11. Inevitably the truth will upset many people if it is shown by further investigation that the official explanations are shown to be deficient."
He said: "Encouraging research and debate on all aspects of [9/11] is not anti- Semitic… Suppressing discussion on such grounds will fuel suspicion, not remove it."
Arkush responded by outlining that he was "extremely concerned that a Church of England minister could possibly have considered it appropriate or becoming to his position to advertise such racist nonsense".
Sizer, has previously been accused by the Jewish community of linking to extremist content and over the language he used. In 2013, the Church instigated disciplinary proceedings following a formal complaint from the Board. Sizer maintained that his views were not anti-Semitic, but directed at Israeli policy towards Palestinians.
However, Arkush said his language was "very, very strongly offensive to Jews" and regarded as "anti-Semitic" by the community.
Under the terms of a conciliation agreement, a code of conduct and independent checking were introduced.
The Bishop of Guildford praised it at the time as "a positive step towards Jewish-Christian understanding". However, he has continued to attract criticism, most recently having attended a seminar in Iran that discussed "Zionist involvement" in the 2001 atrocities, when the World Trade Center was attacked and 2,996 people killed.
On the link to an article blaming Zionist Jews for 9/11, Council of Christians and Jews director Jane Clement said: "We are appalled that these malicious conspiracy theories are still in circulation, and hope those in a position to do so take appropriate action."
Arkush "welcomed" Sizer's removal of the post. However, even before Sizer's message to this newspaper, Arkush said: "The church should be taking action. He is one of their ministers. It should not be left to the Jewish community to have to protest and be forced to take action from outside."

If you'd poor credit you'll pay a somewhat higher rate of interest on a mortgage, it was once. In case your credit rating is quite low, you will not be be obtaining any mortgage from a traditional lender now. You are going to have less lenders to select from, in case your score is reasonable as well as your rate of interest is likely to be large.
Locate a Cosigner
Some banks don't give financing with bad credit to anybody. Others will, provided there exists a cosigner who have great credit. A cosigner agrees to cause the loan–his credit rides on the mortgage being compensated. In the event you are fortunate, sib or your parent will accept co sign as a favor. In the event you are not, you may have the ability to seek out a person who'll cosign for sharing in equity increase as a swap. Conditions are negotiable. This may entail the mortgage being paid by your and his cosigning in exchange for fifty per cent of appreciation, compensated when the home is sold or refinanced. You may think this can be too steep a price to pay, but in the event that the house can't be bought by you, you will not be be making any appreciation.
Rent to Own
In a rent to own agreement, you lease a house to get some time period before you have to exercise an option-to-buy it. The cost is usually set before the agreement is signed by you, as-is the deadline through which the purchase have to be manufactured. The rent might be greater than market-rate, but some part of it goes toward a deposit on the home in the event the buy is exercised by you. In an appreciating marketplace, you gain enormously as equity is being earned by you on a home you do not even own. If you are unable to qualify to get your house ahead of the deadline is here the disadvantage appears. If so, the rent that was additional you paid-as a deposit is lost. Make sure that the contract offers up enough time to construct your credit again before you must submit an application to get a mortgage in case you begin this procedure with less than perfect credit.
Hard Funds Mortgage
A hard-money mortgage comes out of an exclusive lender, frequently an investor, who's not controlled as banking are, maybe not obligated to adapt to normal underwriting guidelines and costs curiosity that is really high to to pay herself for the threat. Others rely only on the equity the borrower will have in the house to secure her interest while some hard-money lenders use credit in the software process. These lenders usually demand a 40% to a-T least 3-5% equity for a refinance or 60 percent down payment to get a buy. Hard moneylenders are available on the internet and also through wordofmouth.
Seller Funding
In vendor funding, the home vendor consents to restore a mortgage for the purchaser and owns the residence of any mortgage. Houses with seller financing typically require A20% deposit. Should you maybe not make the home loan repayments, the the vendor can foreclose on the home the same as a financial institution. Notes from vendors are usually but amortized over or are curiosity-only, and that means you are going to possess a balloon payment due by the end of the duration. At that stage, promote, in case your credit h AS enhanced, or you would need to refinance.

Nothing beats a bit of pseudohistory and telling stories as they shouldn't be told; whilst debating whether I really have the time to expand my blog into a fully-fledged football blog and add stories from Barcelona, Iceland, and China, I came up with the idea of trying to internally understand why humans have this need to travel. I'm not very good at keeping things internally, so I had to pass on everything I've learnt in my pursuit of understanding why humans travel.
Throughout history, humans have travelled far and wide in pursuit of unexplored land, as well as trying to find ways of spreading the word of God/science – delete as appropriate. I know not all my readers believe in God, but I'm also aware some readers believe God is the be all and end all and nothing happens without God's input, so as to not offend anyone, I'll be as impartial as possible.
From the moment we're born, we're told travel related stories including:
- Phileas Fogg travelling around the world in 80 days.
- Genghis Khan marching from Mongolia to China to Russia in his pursuit of a dynasty.
- Christopher Colombus going the wrong way and discovering the West Indies.
- Neil Armstrong and his astronaut buddies walking on the moon.
- Three Kings trekking across the dessert after seeing a star signifying the birth of Jesus.
- Millions and millions of Muslim's travelling to Mecca every year to perform Hajj.
The above examples are in no particular order.
What is the meaning of travelling? Some say we travel every day when we go to work. I travel 50 minutes via a self-driven automobile. I pass others who use legs to travel to work. Some use bikes. I've never seen anyone ride a horse to work, or cartwheel down a hill on their way to work, but I wish there's someone out there who does both of those – maybe not at the same time.
Before I could understand other humans, I first had to understand myself. Why do I travel?
I travel to explore. I spent 22 years in Manchester before seeing what the world has to offer. 22 years in one place when there are approx. 4,400 cities with a population of over 150,00 scattered in all regions of the Earth. I want to see new land; I want to see things people can only dream of seeing; I want to go where no man that I know has ever gone before.
When I landed back from China, I was met by Emma. Emma brought me cakes and dropped me home. I was then forced to go to a wedding. Imagine the jet lag I was feeling and on top of that I had to socialise with people. It got me thinking, if I was living outside the UK, would I ever come to Manchester? Not really. There is literally nothing to see in Manchester once you've seen it all.
I'm a modern-day explorer. My purpose of travelling is to not only see sights other people haven't seen, but it's also to taste food other people won't ever have the satisfaction of tasting. For example, Chinese food in China, otherwise known as food, does not taste like Chinese food in England. It tastes more authentic. Chinese food in England has been designed for the English palette, which for some people is a soggy kebab after a night out or a Maccies at 3am.
Unlike the British hundreds of years ago, I don't travel to conquer; however, Genghis Khan did. Hitler did the same thing. It's recently been suggested to me, whoever brings Hitler into a discussion first automatically loses. If you're reading and were privy to that conversation, I'd like a chocolate for giving you a shout-out.
So, I realised I explore to try new food and see new sights. It was quite easy given I like food, I like travelling, and I like to eat lots of food.
But, what about other people? I want to know why humans travel, not just me. I decided to look at a few people who are close to me and I know travel quite regularly.
I started with my bro, Lorna. Why does she travel? I think she likes to explore. She's far too small to take over a country by force. She knows she's going the right way and won't stumble upon undiscovered land and name it Lorna Land. She's not made a silly wager that is impossible in the real world. Lorna likes to explore. Lorna is an explorer. This was quite easy, but it didn't give me any answers because if we take the food away from my exploration, then me and Lorna are the same. I'm a modern-day explorer because of the addition of food.
Then I moved onto my best friend, Glass. As I'm behind on my updating my blog, Glass will actually pop up in another post, but this is her first appearance. Glass is an educator. She travels the world not only educating herself but educating other people. Were the Three Wise Kings educators or were they simply a group of people who believed in what the stars told them and got lucky? I know she's not religious. Do people travel the world to educate? Is that why humans travel? Was Genghis Khan educating the world on his principles? Hitler tried to do the same thing. This is where I became unsure and needed to delve deeper into my pool of friends to see why humans explore.
Moving onto Edward. Edward is a friend I had in high school. We now no longer speak, but Edward sent me a message several years ago, a few years after we finished high school to which I did not reply because I didn't see it, so I've always kept an eye on his social media. Recently, I saw he went to Barcelona with a group of friends, came back to Manchester, and got on another Ryanair flight to another city. I was too busy not caring at this point to try and figure out the city and too lazy to ask him where he'd gone. Is Edward an explorer? I don't think I'd class him as an explorer as he hasn't given himself time to appreciate the wonders he would've witnessed in Barcelona. So, what is Edward?
The one thing I did notice about Edward's social media posts, he was always with friends. This was interesting. Lorna travels with her boyfriend. Edward travels with his friends. I travel alone, the reasons behind this I will expand upon in another post. Are a group of friends really explorers? One suggests an idea and the others follow. Did the group make the idea? How did they choose a destination? It's hard enough choosing a destination when you're on your own, never mind a group of you having to make a choice everyone is happy with. That's when it hit me. That's when I got the answer as to why humans travel.
Humans travel because we like to. No, that's wrong. Humans travel because we want to. No. Humans travel because we want to have new experiences with our friends. There's only so many times you can go to the same pub over and over again and think it's exciting you're wasting your Friday nights drinking the same pint in the same pub with the same music.
You need a change of scenery. You need the same type of drink in a different country, but the people have to be the same.
Humans travel because we want to experience our lives in a different setting.
Think about it. You go to Spain and you'll order a San Miguel with a Fanta Lemon. You go to France and you'll ask the waiter for their best red wine to compliment your meal. You go to Ireland to try their Guinness. You go anywhere in Europe, anywhere in the world, and you measure the state of their economy and whether or not it'll be an enjoyable holiday by the price of a pint.
You go to Ibiza, listen to the same music you'd hear in Tiger Tiger on a Tuesday night, stagger back to your hotel at 4am, wake up and sit on your bed with a massive hangover. It's the same thing you'd do if you were at home.
Let's take this theory and apply it to our scenarios from before:
- Phileas Fogg travelling around the world in 80 days.
What did Mr. Fogg really do? He travelled on a train from London to Brindisi, Italy, and a boat from New York to Liverpool. In between, he was in several countries riding trains and boats. He was experiencing his life in a different setting.
- Genghis Khan marching from Mongolia to China to Russia in his pursuit of a dynasty.
As this involved the killing of over 30 million people, we must tread softly. What was Mr. Khan trying to accomplish? He simply wanted the world to live under Mongolian rule. He wanted to spread his values throughout the world. He wanted to experience his everyday life in a different setting. He wanted to eat Mongolian cuisine in the Kremlin.
- Christopher Colombus going the wrong way and discovering the West Indies.
Mr. Colombus went the wrong way. Imagine you took a wrong turn, the results would be disastrous. I was on my way to work, took a wrong turn, and now I've got no job. We actually celebrate a man who went the wrong way. I can't even begin to describe what Colombus was attempting to do because from the offset he was doing it wrong. Why did he want to go to India? Unfortunately, my theory cannot account for individuals being incompetent, so by his tomfoolery, Mr. Colombus is an exception to the rule. He is an explorer in every sense of the word.
- Neil Armstrong and his astronaut buddies walking on the moon.
I've walked on Earth, now let's walk on the moon. Let's see if we can inhabit the moon so we can experience our lives in a different setting. We're trying to do the same thing by sending manned spaceships to Mars. We don't want to explore Mars; we simply want to know if it is capable of sustaining human life, so our species can survive.
- Three Kings trekking across the dessert after seeing a star signifying the birth of Jesus.
And this is where it could get a little messy. Imagine you were the fourth King the Three Kings asked. Would you question their sanity? Why are Kings interpreting astronomical events in such a way? What were they going to do if their prediction was wrong? Luckily for them, Jesus was born, but how does a star tell you this. Surely, there would've been word about a miracle baby.
Most pregnancies generally last for 9 months, but the Bible does not state Mary's pregnancy term. Funnily, the Bible doesn't actually tell you how many wise men there were, whether they were actually kings, when they arrived, or if they were actually wise. A lot of questions for a travel story so important to many people around the world. Maybe we'll get a sequel, or would it be a prequel. New Testament, Old Testament, Borrowed Testament, and Blue Testament.
Whoever travelled to see Jesus did not do it to experience their life in a new setting. Real explorers, even if answers are needed.
- Millions and millions of Muslim's travelling to Mecca every year to perform Hajj.
And this is where it could get even messier. Muslim's go to Hajj because it's classified as a pillar of Islam; one of the things recommended you do before you cease to exist and become a faded memory destined to have an end point when the youngest person to have seen you in person and to have a physical memory of you, dies. Nice thought.
I'm not going to go into what is Hajj and why Muslim's flock to Mecca every year, but is it really worth it? Not everyone can afford to go, not everyone wants to go, some even come back less religious than they were when they went. But why do people go? People go to experience a once in a lifetime opportunity. Then they go again next year. Is it really once in a lifetime or is it now a marketing tool by the Saudi Arabian Government who have realised they've got Muslim's eating out of their hands…
Again, this is about why we travel. It's an experience, it's something you have to perform in one place. You can't do Hajj anywhere else on the planet; you can read your five prayers anywhere on the planet, but the act of Hajj is sacred to Mecca. Real explorers.
My examples were really a mixed bag and neither agreed nor disagreed with my theory. It was very much 50-50, which wasn't supposed to be the case when I started writing this as I wanted to be as bias as possible. That didn't happen. I'm not sure whether to end this blog post on the note that I started off wanting to seek answers as to why humans have this inner need to travel and ending up not really getting any answers.
I created my own theory. Used some examples. Had an internal and external debate. Maybe, the answer doesn't lie in the theory of travelling, but in the theory of humans. There's a reason why humans are the dominant force on Earth. We're unpredictable. You can't predict what a human does next. Statistics don't count. Ultimately, and I know this is a terrible thought to end on, humans travel simply because we can.

Despite a Consistent Decline of Printing Machinery and Equipment Imports, the U.S. Still Remains the Largest Market for Exporters across the Globe
Photo: © silvanoaudisio / Bigstockphoto
The U.S. ranks first in global imports of printing machinery and equipment, accounting for a X% share (based on USD). It was followed by China (X%), Germany (X%) and the Netherlands (X%). In 2015, U.S. printing machinery and equipment imports totaled X million USD, decreasing by X million USD (X%) from the year before.
A significant drop in 2009 was followed by a recovery over the next two years, until imports turned to a consistently downward trend, declining softly from 2012 to 2015.
Despite a recovery attempt in 2010-2011, imports failed to reach the peak level of 2008. A recent downward trend depressed imports further to the levels far below those at the outset of the period under review.
Even with a steady decline of imports, the U.S. continues to be one the biggest market for global exporters.
China and Japan were the main suppliers of printing machinery and equipment into the U.S., with a combined X% share of total U.S. imports in 2015. However, the fastest growing supplier from 2007 to 2015 was Malaysia (+X% per year, ranking third with a X% share). Over the same period, imports from China grew by +X% per year, while Japan saw a decline with an annual rate of -X%.
China significantly strengthened its position in the U.S. import structure, from X% in 2007 to X% in 2015. Malaysia was also on the race, gaining +X percentage points over the same period. By contrast, Japan saw its share reduced from X% to X%.
From 2007 to 2015, the U.S. was a net importer of printing machinery and equipment. However, after considerable fluctuations, exports reached the level relatively equal to 2007, while imports were on decline on average over the period under review.
Net US imports of printing machinery and equipment recorded several conspicuous fluctuations over the period under review, but the overall trend was pronouncedly downward. In 2015, this industry ran a significant trade deficit of X billion USD.

Teacher resigns amid investigation into suggestive messages sent to former students
A teacher in the Lee County School District resigned Thursday after former students complained about suggestive messages he sent them online.
A former student filed a complaint against Scott Kilhefner accusing him of aggressively pursuing her through social media communication and trying to form personal relationships with young women within a few months or a few years of them graduating from high school.
Kilhefner, a teacher at North Fort Myers High School, was reassigned as the school district began an internal investigation into the complaint.
Then Thursday, the district announced Kilhefner resigned his position.
"When a former student notified the district yesterday of Scott Kilhefner's social media posts, immediate action was taken to remove him from the classroom," the district said. "Today, Kilhefner resigned his position with the School District of Lee County. We will give all of the information we have collected to our investigation to the Florida Department of Education who holds his certification, and the Lee County Sheriff's Office. The School District of Lee County is committed to the safety of our students, and expects all staff to adhere to the highest ethical practices and conduct."
The Department of Education will review this case and determine if Kilhefner will keep his teaching license.
Two former students said they were contacted by Kilhefner. They said he made unsolicited advances via message and one student said she's glad the school system is investigating his actions.
"It is a little relieving to know that in light of these accusations, the school has done something and they've done it actually very fast," said Andrea Peters. "I think him not having contact with underage students until this whole thing is over with is probably the best course of action."
Lee County School District's social media guidelines says personal use of social media sites or blogs could affect a employee's professional career. It states:
The personal use of social networking sites or blogs creates the risk of affecting your professional career whether you want it to or not. To that end, it is vital that you conduct yourself in such a way that it doesn't adversely affect your position with the District.If you post information or comments that are not related to the District, your activities may still result in professional and/or personal repercussions. Such actions include, but are not limited to: o Posting of photographs, regardless of the content, which could be considered offensive to other parties and be a violation of state and/or District rules and policies; Posting of information that is considered to be proprietary, copyrighted, defamatory, libelous or obscene (as defined by the courts) may be a violation of state and/or District rules and policies.
The school district has opened an investigation into Kilhefner's behavior on social media.
"I truly don't believe the world is caught up with how to handle social media," said President of the Teachers Association of Lee County, Mark Casatellano. "We have teachers talk about, 'well that's my private personal Facebook page,' well no, there's no such thing."
The Lee County Teacher's Union will represent Kilhefner in the Department of Education's investigation.

|Process and arrangement for determining the perfusion factor of a gas in a sample
|Huch et al.
|Spergel et al.
The present invention relates to an electrode device for transcutaneous PCO2 measurements.
The direct measurement of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide, PCO2 by means of a PCO2 electrode was first described in the literature by Stow and Randall (Am. J. Physiol. 179, 678, 1954 and Arch. Phys. Med. 38, 646, 1957).
The design of modern PCO2 electrode devices is primarily based on the work by J. W. Severinghaus (Appl. Physiol. 13 515, 1958).
PCO2 electrode devices comprise a CO2 -permeable membrane, behind which a pH-sensitive measuring electrode is arranged. The measuring area of the pH-sensitive measuring electrode is in contact with an electrolyte, the pH of which is a function of its PCO2, in practice a bicarbonate solution, for example a sodium bicarbonate solution. The reference electrode, which is also in contact with the electrolyte, may be a calomel eletrode, or, if the electrolyte contains chloride, a silver chloride electrode.
The principle of the measurement is that the electrolyte between the CO2 -permeable membrane and the pH-sensitive glass electrode is equilibrated to a carbon dioxide concentration which is determined by Henry's law, and which is, hence, proportional to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide at the exterior of the membrane, and the pH measured by the glass electrode will depend on the ratio between carbon dioxide and bicarbonate in the electrolyte layer between the glass electrode and the membrane, so that the measured pH is a function of the PCO2 in the measured sample at the exterior of the membrane. When the bicarbonate concentration in the electrolyte is selected in the correct range, that is, between 10-3 and 10-1 molar, the bicarbonate concentration may, for the present purpose, be considered constant, and under these conditions, the following relation applies (which corresponds to 100% sensitivity of the electrode):
log PCO2 =constant-pH.
Suitable CO2 -permeable membrane materials are rubber and silicon rubber, both of which are especially permeable to carbon dioxide, but in recent years, especially Teflon® membranes have been preferred for PCO2 electrode devices. Teflon® membranes are available in thicknesses down to 6 μm, and the carbon dioxide permeability of Teflon® is satisfactory for the purpose.
PCO2 electrode devices for measurements on blood samples are normally mounted in a thermostated measuring cell, and the complete measuring apparatus comprises a pH-meter, with extended scale in a sufficient interval around pH 6-8. For obtaining an accuracy better than 1% when measuring PCO2 in blood samples, the temperature in the thermostated measuring cell must be regulated with an exactitude of less than 0.2° C., as the PCO2 of the blood sample varies 4-6% per °C.
In recent years, PCO2 electrode devices have been developed which measure a patient's blood PCO2 transcutaneously and noninvasively, the CO2 -permeable membrane of the PCO2 -electrode device being applied against the patient's skin instead of being brought into contact with the blood sample.
In the electrode devices disclosed for this purpose, a thermostating to 37°-45° C. is performed, that is, a thermostating to above the normal skin temperature. This thermostating has a dual purpose, that is, partly to produce a local vasodilation and thereby local hyperemia for thermal stimulation of the blood flow in the skin in the measuring area, and partly, as explained above, to keep the electrode device at a well defined and exact measuring temperature to obtain exact PCO2 measuring values.
A transcutaneous PCO2 electrode device was described in 1960 (J. W. Severinghaus, Anesthesiology 21, 717, 1960).
In this work, Severinghaus discloses the use of a conventional PCO2 electrode for transcutaneous measurement. The measuring electrode (the glass electrode) in the electrode device was surrounded by a jacket for a current of thermostating water, and the heat was transferred from the water jacket via the measuring electrode to the skin. In 1973, A. Huch et al. (Anaesthesist, 22, 379, 1973) described a heated PCO2 electrode for transcutaneous PCO2 measurement. The sensor electrode (the glass electrode) in the electrode device was surrounded by an electrically heated silver jacket, the reference electrode being unthermostated. The necessary heat for producing hyperemia in the skin in the measuring area was transferred directly from the silver jacket to the skin. In 1977 (The Lancet, 7th May, 982, 1977), this electrode was modified in such a way that the reference electrode (an Ag/AgCl-electrode) was also surrounded by the electrically heated silver jacket which delivered the necessary heat for producing local hyperemia in the skin in the measuring area. German published patent applications nos. 2,305,049 and 2,423,441 disclose transcutaneous PCO2 electrode devices designed according to these principles.
FIG. 1 is a plot of the length of the electrode versus the diameter for various heat supplies when the thermostating exactitude is 0.2° C.
FIG. 2 is a vertical section of the electrode of the subject invention.
The present invention provides a transcutaneous PCO2 measuring electrode device having an improved and especially more compact design compared to the known transcutaneous PCO2 electrode devices. Exactly the possibility of a compact design is of course of major importance in electrode devices which are to be applied on a patient's skin and to remain positioned there for a longer period, such as it is the case with transcutaneous PCO2 electrode devices, especially in consideration of the fact that one patient group for which the transcutaneous PCO2 measurement is specially important, are high risk neonates which may have a body weight as low as 1 kg.
The improved and more compact design is obtained by utilizing the reference electrode in the electrode device of the invention as the thermostating unit of the electrode and as means for transferring the heat necessary for thermal stimulation of the blood flow in the skin in the measured area, in addition to its function as reference electrode. Apart from the reduction of the number of necessary components for making the electrode, this results in the previously unattainable possibility of compact design of the electrode in a very small size.
Accordingly, the invention relates to an electrode device for transcutaneous PCO2 measurement comprising a capsule suitable for application on a skin surface and having a CO2 permeable membrane serving as contact face against the skin and a pH-sensitive measuring electrode arranged behind the membrane, the measuring area of the said electrode being in contact with an electrolyte positioned between the said measuring area and the membrane, a reference electrode communicating with the electrolyte, and a heating device for thermostating the measuring electrode and for thermal stimulation of the blood flow in the skin in the measured area, the reference electrode of the said electrode device being in direct heat-conductive contact with an electrical heating means and being shaped in such a way that it surrounds the measuring electrode and is in heat-conductive contact with the membrane for thermal stimulation of the local blood flow.
The reference electrode is preferably a silver/silver chloride electrode, in other words a silver body. On the one hand, this optimally fullfils the electrochemical requirements with respect to the function as a reference electrode, and on the other hand, this material is also excellent with respect to its properties as a heat conductor.
To obtain the most compact construction, which at the same time suitably fullfils the requirements to the necessary heat transport, it is preferred that the reference electrode be shaped as a hollow cylinder arranged concentrically around the measuring electrode.
Furthermore, in the most preferred design, the reference electrode is in direct heat-conductive contact with the measuring electrode for thermostating the measuring electrode.
It is preferred that the electrical heating device heating the reference electrode is a zener diode. A typical zener diode for use in the electrode device of the invention be a zener diode having a zener voltage of the order of 5-20 volts, for example about 12 volts. The advantage of using a zener diode is that when used as a heating device, the zener diode has a substantially current-independent voltage drop, which means that its power consumption can be monitored simply by means of an ammeter which is a much simpler equipment than a wattmeter. The monitoring of the power consumption of the zener diode may be utilized to obtain an indication of the blood flow in the skin in contact with the electrode device, as the heat consumption of the electrode device increases with increasing blood flow. It is generally known that in transcutaneous blood gas measurements, it may be of importance to simultaneously perform a monitoring of the blood flow in the measuring area. Another advantage of a zener diode is that it permits a simple and reliable regulation of the heating, for example by means of a suitable current generator. Finally, the zener diode has a suitable physical shape for being built into the electrode construction.
It is known to design electrode devices for transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure measurement with a measuring electrode surrounded by a reference electrode which concomitantly serves for thermostating and for transferring the necessary heat for thermal stimulation of the local blood flow in the measuring area. However, these known PO2 electrode devices do not render the present invention obvious. Basic electrochemical differences between the PO2 measurement and PCO2 measurement constitute the reason why the skilled art worker would not consider to having the reference electrode take over the function of the heat conductor in PCO2 electrode devices:
The PO2 measurement is a polarographic measurement where the parameter measured as an expression of the PO2 value of the measured object is an electrical current. In contradistinction to this, the PCO2 measurement is a potentiometric measurement (a pH measurement) where the quantity measured is an electrical voltage. The size of this voltage, besides varying with the pH in the electrolyte, also varies to a considerable extent with the electrode temperature, including the temperature of the reference electrode. Therefore, from the outset it would be considered impossible that a reference electrode which were to deliver energy for the thermal stimulation of the blood flow in the skin could simultaneously be thermostated so exactly that its temperature could be kept within the exactitude necessitated by its function as a reference electrode, 0.2° C. Moreover, the development history of the transcutaneous PCO2 electrode confirms that the possibility of obtaining this has not been taken into consideration. However, according to the invention it has been found that at a suitable shape of the reference electrode body, it is possible to obtain a thermostating exactitude of better than 0.2° C. with the heat input necessary for the thermal stimulation of the blood flow in the measuring area.
This has also been rendered probable theoretically, using as a model a cylinder having a radius a cm and a length 1 cm, and being directly heated (Conduction of Heat in Solids, 2d edition, Oxford 1959).
At "steady state", the temperature in the axial and radial directions is given by the following equations: ##EQU1## To obtain a thermostating exactitude of better than 0.2° C. for the heat supply in question, the following equation must be fulfilled. ν1 +νa ≤0,2° C.
When inserting the values for ν1 and νa the following expressions result: ##EQU2## By inserting Ao (that is, the heat supply which is necessary for producing vasodilation and for compensating for heat loss to the surroundings at the temperature in question), the equation may be solved, and solutions of the equation for various values of Ao appear from FIG. 1. In the above equations, the symbols have the following meaning:
Ao : generation of heat, ##EQU3## a: radius of the cylinder, cm K: thermal conductivity, ##EQU4## l: length of the cylinder, cm ν: temperature, °C.
ν1 : temperature in axial direction, °C.
νa : temperature in radial direction, °C.
For example, the radius of the cylinder may be fixed at 0.5 cm, and one can then, from FIG. 1, read the maximum allowable length for a silver reference electrode for various values of Ao, when the requirement to thermostating exactitude is 0.2° C.:
|For Ao : 0.2 ##STR1## 1 max = 1.37 cm For Ao : 0.4 -- 1 max = 0.93 cm For Ao : 0.67 -- 1 max = 0.69 cm For Ao : 0.80 -- 1 max = 0.61 cm For Ao : 1.07 -- 1 max = 0.51 cm
It is noted that the above theoretical calculations merely prove that the necessary thermostating can in fact be obtained. In the particular actual cases, the conditions will usually (by building into an electrode capsule, etc.) be more favorable than presumed in the above calculations. Therefore, one can, in the particular case, possibly after initial calculations to obtain a guideline, adapt the design of the reference electrode in such a way that in its built-in condition, under the operation conditions of the electrode, it maintains a thermostating exactitude of 0.2° C. or better.
As the temperature sensor for use in the reference electrode, a thermistor is well suited.
The electrode device of the invention is applied on the patient's skin in such a way that the CO2 -permeable membrane is shielded from communication with the atmosphere, and the device is electrically connected to the measuring equipment adapted therefor. Such equipment comprises an amplifier and the desired conversion and registration units, together with a temperature registration and regulation unit (current supply unit) for the electrical hating and thermostating of the reference electrode. The electrode device of the invention may also be used in connection with an apparatus for continuous monitoring of a patient's blood pH of the type disclosed in Danish patent application No. 727/78.
FIG. 2 shows an electrode device of the invention. In a housing 1 of electrically insulating material, for example ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), a reference electrode 2 is positioned. The reference electrode is a hollow cylindrical silver body. In the circular-cylindrical cavity of this body is positioned a measuring electrode 3 which is a pH measuring electrode, the measuring surface 4 of which is in contact with a sodium bicarbonate solution 5 which serves as an electrolyte and is positioned in an electrolyte space which is outwardly delimited by a Teflon® membrane 6. Between the membrane and the surface of the pH measuring electrode is arranged a thin porous layer 7, for example of nylon web, cellophane, or Joseph paper, this layer being soaked with the bicarbonate solution. The membrane 6 is fixed by means of an O-ring 8. A cutting 9 in the silver body serves as an electrolyte reservoir. As an electrical heating device, a zener diode 10 is inserted in the silver body, and as temperature sensor is inserted a thermistor 11.
The capsule 1 is closed with a lid 12, and its interior cavity is filled with epoxy resin 13. A collar 14 in which the capsule 1 is fixed, for example screwed into the collar by means of a thread 15, comprises a contact face 16 which may be supplied with double face adhesive film for application of the electrode device against the skin and for eliminating contact between the atmosphere and the CO2 -permeable membrane. It is often preferred to apply a contact gel or a contact liquid between the CO2 -permeable membrane and the skin to obtain a better contact.
When the electrode device is used, the collar part 14 may suitably remain on the skin when the electrode device is to calibrated, the electrode device then being screwed from the collar, calibrated and thereafter again screwed into the collar, possibly after application of a new contact gel or contact liquid.
The dimensions of the electrode device shown in FIG. 2 are suitably approximately as follows:
|Radius of the total electrode device minus the collar: 0.8 cm Height of the total electrode device: 1.4 cm Radius of the silver body 2: 0.45 cm Height of the silver body 2: 0.7 cm

Germany - Credit Card
Credit card "Kreditkarte"
It may come as quite a shock, particularly to expats from the US, that credit cards are not widely accepted in Germany. Some large stores and hotels will accept credit cards, but on the whole you pay by cash (preferably) or with a debit card (see below) when shopping or going to a restaurant. Credit cards can be used for online transactions (as long as you trust the website's security). Be careful though - even though a store will accept credit card transactions for online purchases, they will not necessarily accept a credit card when you shop in person. Most banks charge you a monthly fee (around 5 euros) or a yearly fee (20-25 euros) for the privilege of having a credit card.
In the last years the use and acceptance of credit cards in Germany has increased.

How important are small businesses to the UK economy?
Well, if the research recently conducted by Direct Line for Business (DL4B) proves to be correct, then the answer is very important. What's more that importance is set to increase over the coming months as small businesses across the UK look to expand. That can only be good news for the UK economy as a whole, and, as such, it's an initiative that every accountant will welcome.
So what does this latest small business say? Well, DL4B's study, carried out by Consumer Intelligence, surveyed a sample of 401 UK start-ups with up to 10 employees and discovered that over the course of the next 12 months they, in conjunction with 400,000 home-based businesses who were looking to hire their first employee, were expecting to create up to 1.9 million new jobs. DL4B estimates that this could boost the UK economy by as much as £27 billion a year.
So what sort of terms and conditions will these new roles attract?
Well, DL4B's research indicates that new employees hired by small firms this year will be expected to work an average of 28 hours a week, while start-ups planning to hire their first employee are looking for someone to work an average of 21 hours a week. Average wages for new employees working for small and micro businesses will be somewhere in the region of £14,405 per annum, while self-employed firms employing a staff member for the first time expect to start them on £10,795 per annum.
Where will most of these new jobs be located? Well, whilst London and the South East will unsurprisingly attract most of the new jobs, the South West and North West will also be attracting their fair share. DL4B's research showed that regional SME recruitment plans in the London area were the "most proactive" with more than two-fifths (41%) of start-ups anticipating hiring new staff this year. However, the South West and North West were also actively recruiting new staff and hoped to take on 35% and 31% respectively over the course of the next 12 months. Interestingly DL4B also found that female entrepreneurs were more likely to recruit new staff than their male counterparts, with 33% of female business owners claiming to be actively looking to expend their workforce, as opposed to 26% of male employers.
Speaking about the survey, Jasvinder Gakhal, head of DL4B, said:
"Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy, employing millions of people, and our research shows that they are set to contribute significantly this year. With positive signs of economic growth, many businesses will want to take advantage by expanding – often by increasing headcount."
Are you looking to start up your own business, or aiming to expand your existing small business in the next few months?

'Success guaranteed': Reef centre misses funding despite strong review
A world-renowned coral reef research centre missed out on Federal funding to groups proposing the study of the "digital child", "creative aging" and the Enlightenment.
The Townsville-based Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies failed to secure the grant money from the Australian Research Council (ARC), despite an external review describing its submission as as "revolutionary".
"This work should be funded at all cost. It will be revolutionary," the review said, adding the assembled team of researchers and their program would change forever "how we go about ensuring sustainability and resilience in our changing world".
It is understood the glowing assessment had no dissenting voices.
Despite the endorsement, the Townsville-based centre which links coral researchers in four universities across Australia failed even to make the shortlist of 20 proposed "centres of excellence" being assessed by the ARC.
The ARC declined to comment, saying it did not respond to questions about "the assessment process for any individual grant proposal". The reef centre and its head Professor Terry Hughes also declined to comment.
The reef science centre missed out despite ranking first among 1644 institutions worldwide for citations. Its omission for what would have been a third round of funding comes as the Great Barrier Reef faces its third mass coral bleaching in four summers early next year.
'Emotional benefits'
According to the funding shortlist obtained by Fairfax Media, ARC opted to prioritise new hubs such as one covering "Eroding Democracy and Authoritarian Resurgence" at the University of Sydney, and one on the "Digital Child" at the Queensland University of Technology.
Melbourne University secured six offerings on the shortlist, including one on "Creative Ageing and Wellbeing" and another on "Enlightenment and Public Humanities".
The former would aim to "harness the creative potential of the older person to generate cognitive, physical, social and emotional benefits". The latter would "raise awareness of the ongoing relevance of the Enlightenment's ideals and values", the list shows.
Kim Carr, Labor's science spokesman, said there can be no other explanation for the reef centre's omission "other than an instruction has been issued in order to shape the ARC shortlist".
"It is surprising is that the centre's application was only given one external review when it is normal practice for applications to be given three or four reviews," Senator Carr said.
Education Minister Dan Tehan defended the selection's independence.
"There has been no Ministerial involvement in decisions made in relation to shortlisting Expression of Interest applications for ARC Centres of Excellence commencing 2020," he said.

'Your Roadmap to Digital Inclusion' is made up of four instructive chapters, focused on the resource considerations for each stage of a typical digital accessibility program and how to integrate the disability community across your program:
Why We wrote this e-book
With nearly two decades of experience in digital accessibility, our goal is to provide program support by setting a clear and practical path that all businesses can follow to achieve and maintain accessibility conformance and usability for their digital channels. We hope that by providing this guidance, it will help accelerate the adoption of digital inclusion beyond the likes of Apple, Microsoft, and IBM and propel it into the mainstream digital world, benefiting millions of lives.
In the e-book, we focus on how to engage and guide resources across your organization in order to achieve your overall goals for digital accessibility. There is a lot of good existing content that covers the purely technical aspects of how to make digital properties accessible, so the focus of this e-book is to lay out a roadmap that your organization can follow to help you identify the key internal and external resources necessary for implementing and maintaining an effective digital accessibility program.
What you will learn
After reading this e-book, you will have a deeper understanding of how to plan, execute and maintain the accessibility of your digital channels. Our Chief Innovation Strategist, Jason Taylor, details a variety of techniques and program considerations that we have developed over the past 17 years of helping clients create inclusive digital experiences in all major industries. You will learn the different roles and responsibilities involved at each stage of a typical accessibility program and the best ways to motivate each role for on-going success. Additionally, we provide original best practices and real-world examples, which you can learn from and emulate with your own teams.
This e-book is for you, if you fit into any of these categories:
- You are responsible for, or involved in, ensuring accessibility of some or all of your company's digital channels such as websites, mobile apps, internal applications, kiosks, etc. *Relevant for companies of all sizes and industries.
- You already understand the importance of digital inclusion from the legal, social and practical points of view, but need help developing an end-to-end strategy. You need practical steps, backed up with real-world examples to help plan and communicate your vision to management and your company at large.
- You have already started your journey but need to develop an integrated and streamlined approach to efficiently maintain digital accessibility on-going; a program that involves multiple job functions and processes within your digital ecosystem.

In NSW, there are numerous private firearm owners who have a private cache well above the national average. With all of those guns in private owner's collections, the issue of storage and theft of those firearms becomes a significant concern, not only to the owners, but also law enforcement and the general public.
According to the ABC News (article published 11.10.2018), in Tamworth a single owner has a cache of 312 firearms; in Cardiff (near Newcastle) 310 firearms; in Mosman 285 firearms; in North Sydney 268 firearms; and another in La Perouse 305 firearms. This indicates that where people live has little to do with whether private collections of firearms are amassed, however, the one consistent issue is that all of these firearms are stored correctly, so that they do not become targets for opportunistic thieves.
ABC News also recently reported that gun theft has doubled since 2007. It is also recognised that these figures could be much higher, as gun theft is a generally under-reported crime.
Safe Storage
Pursuant to section 40 of the Firearms Act 1996 (the Act),
Any person in possession of a firearm must take all reasonable precautions to ensure the firearm is kept safely, is not lost or stolen and does not come into the possession of an unauthorised person.
The legislative safe storage requirements for Category A & B firearms are also covered in section 40 of the Act:
Failure to comply with these conditions can result in the loss of firearms licences, significant fines and confiscation of firearms. The two primary considerations for these conditions is obviously safety and security. It is ever a firearm owners' responsibility to ensure that all of their firearms are compliant, to ensure that penalties are not enforced.

First reading is the first stage of a Bill's passage through the House of Commons - usually a formality, it takes place without debate.
First reading of a Bill can take place at any time in a parliamentary session.
The short title of the Bill read is out and is followed by an order for the Bill to be printed.
The Bill is published as a House of Commons paper for the first time.
The next stage is second reading, the first opportunity for MPs to debate the general principles and themes of the Bill.
Session: the parliamentary year. A session usually runs for 12 months (most often from November to November) unless there is a general election.
Short title: the title by which a Bill is known during its passage through Parliament.
Money Bills raise or spend public money (such as the Finance Bill), and start in the House of Commons.

Turbine blades have complex geometries with free form surface. Blades have different thickness at the trailing and leading edges as well as sharp bends at the chord-tip shroud junction and sharp fins at the tip shroud. In investment casting of blades, shrinkage at the tip-shroud and cord junction is a common casting problem. Because of high temperature applications, grain structure is also critical in these castings in order to avoid creep. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of different process parameters, such as, shell thickness, insulation and casting temperature on shrinkage porosity and grain size. The test geometry used in this study was a thin-walled air-foil structure which is representative of a typical hot-gas-path rotating turbine component. It was observed that, in thin sections, increased shell thickness helps to increase the feeding distance and thus avoid interdendritic shrinkage. It was also observed that grain size is not significantly affected by shell thickness in thin sections. Slower cooling rate due to the added insulation and steeper thermal gradient at metal mold interface induced by the thicker shell not only helps to avoid shrinkage porosity but also increases fill-ability in thinner sections.

Castability of thin-walled castings is sensitive to variation in casting parameters. The variation in casting parameters can lead to undesired casting conditions which result in defect formation. Variation in rejection rate due to casting defect from one batch to other is common problem in foundries and the cause of this variation usually remain unknown due to complexity of the process. In this work, variation in casting parameters resulting from human involvement in the process is investigated. Casting practices of different groups of casting operators were evaluated and resulting variations in casting parameters were discussed. The effect of these variations was evaluated by comparing the rejection statistics for each group. In order to minimize process variation, optimized casting practices were implemented by developing specific process instructions for the operators. The significance of variation in casting parameters in terms of their impact on foundry rejections was evaluated by comparing the number of rejected components before and after implementation of optimized casting practices. It was concluded that variation in casting parameters due to variation in casting practices of different groups has significant impact on casting quality. Variation in mould temperature, melt temperature and pouring rate due to variation in handling time and practice resulted in varying quality of component from one batch to other. By implementing the optimized casting instruction, both quality and process reliability were improved significantly.

One of the most common reasons for horse lameness is subchondral bone cysts (SBCs), which are especially evident in young horse athletes. It is believed that SBC development is strongly associated with an individual's bone growth and/or bone microstructure impairment. Current methods of SBC treatment include pharmacological treatment or surgical procedures which may allow the bone within the cyst to rebuild and be restored to properly developed bone tissue. Thus, we propose filling the SBCs with a 3D complex of alginate hydrogel and autologous adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs). We have observed at the in vitro level, that this hydrogel complex induces osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potential through the upregulation of bone morphogenetic protein, osteopontin, collagen type I and aggrecan mRNA levels. Moreover, we detected the creation of a 3D extracellular matrix (EM). To investigate the complex in vivo, we chose 8 horses of varying age suffering from SBC, which resulted in lameness, to undergo experimental surgery. We documented the horses' clinical appearance, lameness and radiographic appearance, to determine that there was clinical improvement in 87.75% of the patients (n=7, out of 8 horses) 6 months postoperatively and 100% (n=8, out of 8 horses) a year after surgery. These results are promising for the potential of this procedure to become the standard in SBC treatment.

While Smanos measures the alarm at 105dB, I didn't hear everything that piercing associated with some other systems I've checked. It would wake you up if you were a house. It most likely would not bring your next-door neighbor's study. And while the W020 has a backup series that will enable the siren to continue sounding if a burglar disconnected it from the wall, it would not take a couple of seconds for the perp, to open the battery chamber and pull them out.
The door/window sensing units feature 3M adhesive tape, so you just peel the support off and press one-half onto the door or window you wish to keep track of and partner onto the door or window frame. The sensing units stuck securely to my windows and doors. It's difficult to state the length of time the adhesion would last. We choose to move units that can either be screwed into the surface area or-- even better-- sensing units the can be placed under the door/window and the door/window frame so that they vanish from view.
As is standard for the best wireless camera of sensing units, there's a magnet installed in one-half and a metal plate in the other. When the electromagnetic field the two halves type is broken by the door or window opening, a message is sent out to the W020. Different Smanos' door/window sensing units, the MD2300 change sensing unit should be screwed into the wall. Addressing a flow identifying unit can decrease the quality of door/window sensing units you have to set up. This one has series of about 20 feet, it created just human beings moving inside its border. It accurately overlooked little animals, so you do not have to fret about Fido or Fifi activating your alarm while you're far from the house and they're not.
When all the sensing units were set up, we relocated to Smanos IP6 security cam. It links to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and records HD video (720p) to an onboard microSD card (as much as 32GB) in a regular loop. A built-in mic and speaker allow two-way audio, so you can speak with people or animals in the house while you're away.
There are no means for saving the video in the cloud, so if a burglar takes the card or-- most likely-- the perfect cam, you will not have any right video evidence of the criminal aggression. You can utilize the mobile phone app to keep track of a live feed from wherever you have web gain access to. If the signal stops off, you can use a minimum of getting a glance through the electronic camera's lens to see what's going on-- and maybe alert the perps that they've been seen.
The Spanos W020 WiFi Alarm System is a budget attached house security service. That might be terrifying if it occurs when you're house. If you're away and you do not have your phone, or you've silenced it for whatever circumstance-- you're in an important conference, or you're at the motion pictures, for instance-- there might be a material hold-up before you learn about a burglary.
These remarks hold true of any self-monitored security system, generally, and not everybody sees them as drawbacks. Lots of choosing to keep whatever under their control and do not like the concept of some unknown individual in a remote place understanding exactly what's going on in their house. If you're in that camp, the Smanos system is well reduced and mainly reliable. Apart from a la carte rates, there's little to set it aside from lots of relative systems.
