Rami Makhzoumi was born in Riyadh on 31st October 1977 to Lebanese parents – Fouad, an engineer then working in Saudi Arabia, and May, a pharmacist. In 1980 the family moved to London and Rami joined Hill House School, a private international school in Knightsbridge run by an unorthodox ex-Army Colonel and famous for educating Prince Charles. Rami flourished in the cosmopolitan, nurturing, disciplined and egalitarian environment of Hill House and quickly established himself as an all-rounder – as comfortable in the classroom as he was playing the violin, swimming or passing a football.
Rami actively participated in all of the chores and activities that made up a typical day at Hill House, from washing dishes after lunch to singing in the choir after school. He particularly enjoyed the regular school trips to Hill House's chalet in Switzerland where he would mountain-climb, canoe and ski. At school, Rami was a shy, sensitive boy, who was also intelligent, easy-going and kind. Rami possessed a cheeky sense of humour and infectious laugh which made being around him always such a pleasure. He was also very generous and considerate and was the first to share anything in his possession with friends. All of these characteristics made Rami very popular and in Hill House he forged strong friendships that would last for the rest of his life. As an adult, he always spoke of his time at Hill House with great nostalgia. Read more

Scam Letter(s) from Oksana to Kent (USA)
Letter 1
Hello my dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to tell you so much in this letter. I would like to discuss with you many things. I would like to tell you about my feelings though you already know them. The time is so short and we will be together and my heart is absolutely brimming with both happiness and the anticipation. We will be apart for only such a short time and will be together soon. That is such a wonderful thing to realize, for I know that in listening to your words those years will be filled with both love and so much happiness. You are a very unique person and I am so proud that you would find love with me. I am so very lucky and will guard my blessings and not let you down in any way. We will find the first times a little uncomfortable for we will both be cautious to do the right thing in the eyes of the other. I give you my word that you need not worry and not to be cautious for I have already accepted you as who you are.
There is nothing that will change my feelings toward you. Loving is twice more in acceptance with the one you love for not only whom they are but anything they may do. I just am so glad that I have finally found you. You have no idea how long I have been waiting just for you. I am so glad that I have not dated much or I would not have been in the right place to find you. It seems as though our destinies were meant to collide at just this particular time.
Usually I am hesitant to let my feelings go but with you I have had no problem in doing so for all seems so right and at the perfect moment.
You make me so very happy. I am simply walking on a cloud every moment. I know the time will simply drag until we are together, that is how much I want you with me. I cannot wait for our meeting. I have good news about the trip. And I would like to tell them to you. Now we speak with you only through e-mail, but we'll soon communicate in the reality. Papers are available also we can meet though tomorrow. I discussed with my aunt the cost of trip to you and she told: do not worry, I'll help you with the finance. I was so delighted when have heard it. Her husband can send me money for trip. And the sum does not disturb him, but there is other problem. He works in confidential service on the government of your country. He has not the right to send money or any information in other countries. He can send money inside the country only. My aunt cannot send money too because she his wife.
I did not want to ask you to help, and I hesitate to do it, but I desire to meet you very much.
Dear, I want to ask you about some favor. I hope it will not be burden for you. The husband of my aunt can send money for the bank account inside YOUR COUNTRY.
Can you open the account in anyone bank or to give me the data of your bank account if you already have it???? If you can, the husband of my aunt will send you money without problems. When you will open the account write to me the information:
BSB number:
Account Number:
Holder Name your account:
The bank name:
your full name;
your address (your city and address);
I shall write this information to the aunt, and her husband at once will send you money. It is necessary to agree upon time when you can receive these funds only. When you will receive them you should send them to me through Western Union.
But I shall tell you about it more in detail in the following letters.
When I get the money many problems can be solved. For us it is necessary only to wait. Unfortunately, in our world nothing is done free-of-charge and I am grateful to the aunt and her husband that she helps me. And I hope, that my request will not be burden for you..
I cannot wait for our meeting...
Yours forever...
Letter 2
Hello my dear!!!!
How are you? My dear my aunt can send money only on bank account.
I want to meet you so much!!!! I dream of our meeting but at us only 2 ways to meet.
1 way:
I already wrote to you that my aunt wants help me to trip to you. My aunt wishs us many good luck and love!!!
Therefore my aunt want to send money for your bank account.
The reason in work of her husband. My aunt can to send money only on bank account.
This is not difficult. You can close the bank account at once as will send this money to me.
My love can you open bank account?
2 way:
We have a simple way. It is not necessary to make the bank account. My aunt has offered this way.
You can send me money in Western union for my trip. I need 3000-3500 USD for trip to you. My aunt promised to return to you all sum when I will come to you.
It very simply an exit from a situation. What do you think?

Todd, a feckless young man who can find time in the morning for a little wake-and-bake but not a shave, works as a gofer at an assisted-living facility. After showing up late, he mops, helps to wheel residents to bingo, plays with a nurse's young daughter, smokes some more pot and halfheartedly entertains some oldsters by pretending to be calling from heaven ("you can be fat here, if you want").
Elliot Greenebaum's debut feature, Assisted Living, is a very loose amble through Todd's one day at work, intercut with mockumentary footage of Todd's co-workers being interviewed at some point later (it becomes clear that this day is Todd's last day on the job). It's a device that initially proves a bit confusing, and ultimately, doesn't reveal much about Todd: He is an unmotivated soul, a probably nice guy who's too lazy to give a shit.
However, one elderly woman, Mrs. Pearlman (Maggie Riley), who we learn is slipping into the dementia of Alzheimer's, fixates on Todd (Michael Bonsignore), confusing him with her neglectful son. Todd, touched by her obvious pain, is inspired to help, but chooses an ill-advised act. What amounts to this slim story's conclusion is a tiny gleam of understanding between the pair.
Greenebaum shot his film on location in Louisville, Ky., in three nursing homes, incorporating residents and staff as extras. Ironically this intentional versimilitude lends the film a rather unreal air, as Greenebaum's camera snakes slowly down tidy fluorescent-lit corridors -- decorated to resemble a mid-price hotel chain -- populated only by people in various states of compromised mobility.
And in actual terms, it is otherworldly. The disconnected residents of the home are bound only by their shared infirmities, entirely isolated from the outside -- and in a place that might be unfamiliar to many of us. Greenebaum's camera doesn't exploit, but it's hard to find nobility in documentary-like footage of drooling seniors propped up before chattering television sets or the enforced cheeriness of an empowerment-training session for people who will never again deal with the outside world. One is reminded of a well-padded holding pen -- the last stop between here and the great unknown.
Despite hints at serious topics -- society's warehousing of its elderly, our own fears of aging and abandonment, the difficult bridge between the young and the very old -- Greenebaum's film, clocking in at only 77 minutes, seems, like Todd, to want only to float by these issues rather than explore them. As such his film is vaguely dreamlike, more a meditation than a treatise, and with fewer tangible rewards.

Going on a long run outside can do wonders for your health — but it's not so great for the status of your shoes. Bad weather, grime, mud and rough concrete can do a number on your favorite high-quality (and probably pricey) running shoes, especially if you're hitting the pavement on a daily basis. But a quick makeover can breathe new life into your old shoes so you can get the most miles out of your kicks without compromising your workouts.
What You'll Need
Soft-bristle toothbrush
Large plastic bowl or container
Warm water
Laundry detergent
Two sponges or two washcloths
Now What?
1. First, remove the insoles from you shoes; set aside.
2. Remove all excess dirt from shoes using the toothbrush.
3. In a bowl, mix a cup of warm water with a tablespoon of laundry detergent.
4. Dip a sponge or washcloth into the mixture and then apply it to the shoe, cleaning any dirty areas on the entire outsole.
5. Using your second sponge or washcloth, simply wet it (no detergent) and use it to remove any excess detergent still left on the shoe.
6. Air dry your shoes at room temperature until completely dry.
7. Follow the same instructions for the insoles, then set them aside to air dry completely before replacing them in the shoes.

Details have emerged of Vinyl, the music industry drama series set in New York during the disco and punk era, created by Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese.
Vinyl is based on Jagger's initial idea of two friends who survive for four decades in the music industry. It has been turned into a show about struggling record company boss Richie Finestra, who sets out to revive his label by trying to find talent in New York's disco and punk scenes. The nine-part series will air on HBO in 2016.
Finestra is played by Bobby Cannavale, best known for playing gangster Gyp Rosetti in Boardwalk Empire, the HBO series also produced by Scorsese. Finestra's model wife Devon is played by Olivia Wilde from long-running medical drama House, while Jagger's son James Jagger plays Kip Stevens, singer in fictional punk band The Nasty Bits.
Scriptwriters on Vinyl include Terence Winter, who wrote The Sopranos and The Wolf Of Wall Street, and Breaking Bad writer George Mastras. Other actors include Birgitte Sorenson (journalist Katrine Fonsmark in BBC4 political drama Borgen) and Juno Temple, who appeared in Oscar-winning film Atonement.
The Rough Trade record shop in Brooklyn has been transformed into a branch of US record store Sam Goody for the show.
Jagger and Scorsese first worked together when the veteran film-maker directed a documentary, Shine A Light, about The Rolling Stones' 2006 concert at New York's Beacon Theater on the band's 'A Bigger Bang' tour.

The Bald Hill lithium-tantalum mine in Western Australia achieved its highest monthly output of lithium concentrate in January and is on track to achieve production guidance for the first half of 2019.

Owned by Perth-based Alliance Mineral Assets, the mine produced 13,160t of lithium concentrate with an average grade of 6.15pc lithium oxide, 28pc higher than December's total. It processed 131,400t of ore, 30pc above nameplate capacity and 23pc higher than in December.

Export shipments on 2 and 3 February totalled 23,232 wet metric tonnes (estimated at 22,978 dry metric tonnes) with revenue estimated at A$26mn ($18.7mn). An additional 30,000t of lithium concentrate is expected to be shipped to China during the March quarter.

Bald Hill, which started lithium and tantalum production in the second quarter of 2018, also shipped 20t of high grade tantalum grading 30pc tantalite oxide in January and is expected to ship another 20t tomorrow.

Lithium concentrate output guidance for the first half of 2019 has been maintained at 65,000-80,000t.

Alliance Mineral Assets is reviewing requests for lithium concentrate supply, its chief executive Mark Calderwood said, adding that interest in long term offtake agreements "remains strong."

Cinnamomum cassia, also known as Chinese cinnamon or Chinese cassia, originated in South China. This tree serves several purposes and is hence widely cultivated in India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. With its celebrated use in the Traditional Chinese Medicine, Cassia is regarded as one among the 50 fundamental herbs of China.
Cassia Essential Oil has a pungent, warm scent from its 1% to 2% volatile oil that is mainly responsible for the spicy aroma. It is a strong top note.
Blends With: Clove Bud, Frankincense, Ginger, Grapefruit, Lavender, and Rosemary.
Cassia's first recorded use in China dates back to the Han Dynasty (200 BCE - 200 CE). In Exodus 30, 23, Moses was ordered to use both Cinnamon (Kinnamon) and Cassia (Qesia) together with Myrrh, Sweet Calamus and Olive Oil to produce a holy oil with which to anoint the Ark of the Covenant.
Storage: It is recommended that oils packaged in metal containers (for safe shipping), be transferred into dark glass containers to maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life.

Too little, too late: Cleveland admits it should not have hired cop who killed Tamir Rice
Here's a bit of news to be filed under the heading better late than never - except wait, no it isn't
The Cleveland Police Department has in effect admitted that it never should have hired Timothy Loehmann, the failed cop who shot down 12-year-old Tamir Rice quite literally less than two seconds after pulling up to him in a squad car, then failed to offer any sort of aid as the child lay on the ground bleeding to death.
The two supervisors who hired Loehmann have been disciplined, found guilty of having "failed to adequately supervise and review an applicant's background investigation" and of administrative charges including neglect of duty.
Which I'm sure brings complete closure to Tamir Rice's family.
Loehmann was hired in 2014, after he resigned from the Independence Police Department on his first day. The police academy supervisor there wrote that Loehmann's performance during handgun training was "dismal," and that Loehmann had trouble following orders. He was then rejected by at least five different area police agencies before landing a job in the Cleveland PD by supervisors who never checked with Independence.
Loehmann shot Tamir Rice on November 22 - November 22, that is seven months ago, and still Loehmann has his job and the "investigation " (there supposedly is one) drags on.
In that time we have learned that the Cleveland Police flat out told multiple lies about what happened, for one, claiming Loehmann told Tamir three times to put up his hands, when the video (which the police did not know existed at the time they made that statement) shows there was no time for anyone to have said anything three times.
We also learned that investigators couldn't find any hard evidence that Loehmann said any such thing.
We also have learned that a Cleveland Municipal Court judge found probable cause that Loehmann should face murder and other charges.
And yet the case drags on, with prosecutor Timothy McGinty said that he expects to present the case to a grand jury "within months." That is, more months on top of the seven months this has already dragged out. While Tamir Rice's family waits for justice.

Handbook of Research on Knowledge Management
Adaptation and Context
Edited by Anders Örtenblad
Chapter 8: Cross-cultural knowledge management in collaborative academic research
David Coldwell and Andrea Fried
Knowledge management as we frame it for this chapter is perceived as a bundle of structural initiatives to enable learning within and by organizations (Ackerman et al. 2003). It supports sharing of knowledge and is a 'relational approach towards knowledge [that] places greater emphasis on the level of the group, the community, the network and the organization, than on the individual employee' (Huysman and de Wit 2002, p. 4; see also Adair 2004). The relational approach to knowledge management is grounded in the idea that 'the intelligence of a collective comes from individual contributions combined by people's interactions' (Perkins 2003, p. 246). These contributions and interactions yield effective decisions, solutions and plans (Perkins 2003) that are progressively kept track of (Adair 2004). Several concepts including 'local ontology' (Gergen 1995), organizations' 'cognitive systems and memories' (Hedberg 1981), 'mutual knowledge' (Giddens 1979), 'collective mind' (Weick and Roberts 1993) or 'collective knowledge' (Spender 1994) understand organizational knowledge as cognitively embedded but shared among organizational members (Fried 2003). To be shared, knowledge needs to be enacted in organizational practices that are an 'ongoing activity stream and emerges in the style with which activities are interrelated' (Weick and Roberts 1993, p. 365). From a strategic point of view, shared organizational knowledge and practices constitute competitive advantages that can be pitted against the heterogeneous character of competitors.

Rain dance for a better Issue 2?
I stay out of political talks, not because I have no opinion. The real problem: being a woman of a certain age, I know I'm always right.
The few privy to my sparkles of wisdom – by "few" I mean Mark, my husband – said this early in our marriage, "We're like a pair of old shoes. You're always right. I'm what's left." I chuckled, submitted "the joke" to Reader's Digest and was promptly rejected.
Starting weeks ago, whenever I put on my reading glasses, Issue 2 popped out. Except during election years, I mused, who's ever cared this much what Ohio thinks?
I asked around, "What's 'The Ohio Drug Price Relief Act' – or Issue 2?" and got two answers: "I'm not sure," or "it's confusing."
Then I found out the pharmaceutical industry is behind the aggressive negative campaign. Last year, it spent $109 million (out-funding proponents of the ballot 10 to one) and struck down an almost-identical measure in California. It was the most expensive ballot battle of 2016.
The more interesting question fast becomes: Who just kicked the hornets' nest?
The soul of Issue 2 is good: the state of Ohio should not pay more for prescription drugs than the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA).
The VA enjoys steep discounts on prescription drugs because it's one of only two federal programs (the Department of Defense being the other) allowed to negotiate prices directly with pharmaceutical companies. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that they pay roughly half of what retail pharmacies pay.
You may not believe this, but in 2003, when Congress created Medicare Part D, it forbade Medicare, a federal program, from directly negotiating prices with pharmaceutical companies.
But Medicaid, funded by both federal and state governments, may negotiate through the states.
In Ohio, we might save $160 million to $560 million. I think the value will be on the lower end because Medicaid already receives rebates and discounts. The savings, while significant for our state, is pocket change for the drug industry. The top 10 money-makers shell out billions of dollars each year just on marketing alone.
So why is pharma so nervous, threatening lawsuits and price hikes?
Basically, Issue 2 is doing the work of Congress – made impotent by special interest groups.
David Blumenthal, MD, co-author of "Drug Price Control: How Some Government Programs Do It," told me that "the prospect of a [law]suit is a fatal flaw in policy initiative. ... Just because they sue doesn't mean they will win. ... Congress has few options to lower drug prices, but no immediate plan to act on. Drug affordability continues to decline."
I'm hanging onto the hope that whatever we might (or might not) suffer, we pave the way for more states to follow. Reba McEntire put it simply, "To succeed … you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone."
What we can't afford doing is a rain dance for a better bill: one that benefits "more people" or contains less legal mumbo-jumbo.
Issue 2 doesn't have to be perfectly right to be right.

Many companies have also begun using corporate limousine services to transport executives who previously just flew. What makes flying less preferable than corporate limousine service is that besides boarding on a plane and going, executives are also sitting at the airports often not getting anything done.
Inside limousines, executives can set off and start a meeting right there while on their way towards their destination. This realization created a boom in the corporate limousine business, which has also led to the customization of many vehicles to fit the specific needs of corporate travelers.
It is fair to say that due to conditions of the economy as well as the reduction of travel budgets, companies are looking at the short-haul market from the standpoint of being more cost effective than flying. Albeit the shift from flying to driving has not been a radical change, there has been some momentum in the decision to drive rather than fly.

Limos do not only provide comfort and luxury to business executives and employees alike, but also the ideal environment for making the most out of travel time. Time is of the essence and companies are gearing up towards an economical optimization not only on the costs of travel but also towards capitalizing on travel times to benefit business interests.

Rich was proud of his new gummy bear vertical form-fill-sealer/bagger and I was surprised when he called me. "My bears are gummy and I need your help."
"Aren't bears supposed to be Gummy?" I asked.
"Not like this. Get here fast."
In the plant, Rich explained that sometimes the bears flowed smoothly. But other times they would clump and stick. It was the same on all flavors, so we ruled that out.
I asked if he had always had this problem. "The system ran fine for several months after it had been installed in January," he told me. "It wasn't until May that we began having problems. It's not consistent. Sometimes they run well; sometimes not."
Luckily he had a good monitoring system so I could see how the machine ran, hour by hour.
"Fiddlesticks on gummy Gummy Bears!" I quickly told him. "Do you measure the humidity in the production room?"
"No," he confessed.
"And you don't control it either, do you?" I asked.
"Not especially."
"That's your problem." I told him. "Humidity is making your bears gummy and causing clumping. That causes clumping and sticking. In January, when it is cold out, inside humidity inside will be low and no problem. In spring and summer, humidity is low in the morning but increases over the day. Like your production problems."
Enclose your system and install a suitable dehumidifier. Gummy Gummy Bears will be a thing of the past. Good production will be the thing of your future.

A new group is pledging to hold tertiary institutions to account, to ensure they are operating for the public good rather than for the interests of New Zealand's economic and political elite.
Academic Freedom Aotearoa (AFA) had its public launch on 4 October. The organisation is committed to ensuring universities fulfil their "public good roles" and steer clear of satisfying the interests of individual students and staff.
AFA's website states that "academic freedom applies to both teaching and research in tertiary education institutions and is protected by law (Education Act 1989 Section 161)".
The organisation also suggests that academic freedom embodies the right to "freedom in teaching and discussion" and "freedom in carrying out research without commercial or political interference", for instance.
AFA consists of academics attached to institutions all over the country, and is seen as being crucial to a "strong democracy" according to co-chair Professor Jack Heinemann, who emphasises the link between academic freedom and responsibility.
"Academic freedom is the responsibility placed on scholars to present uncomfortable truths that might otherwise cost them their jobs, liberty and life at some times and in some places," said Professor Heinemann.
AFA's second co-chair, former Tertiary Education Union National President Dr Sandra Grey, has expressed her feelings that academic freedoms are jeopardised in the research sector of tertiary institutions. Dr Grey believes that the research of scholars is too closely aligned with commercial interests.
"The space for academics who are researching and speaking out on things that the Government does not want to hear is shrinking," said Dr Grey.
Some of the group's current issues include the Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF) system's promotion of commercially applicable research, and support for international academics in vulnerable positions as a result of challenging their nation's political and economic elite.
Academic Freedom Aotearoa was launched the day before Academic Freedom Day and World Teachers Day. Students can find more information and sign up to the group's website at academicfreedom.kiwi.nz.

Nicholas Negroponte has come out attacking Intel for its recently announced "ClassMate" PC, which Negroponte claims is trying to undercut the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project. Speaking to 60 Minutes last night, Negroponte said Intel "should be ashamed of itself." He went on to call Intel's recent aggressive marketing campaign "shameless."
Negroponte is upset in part because Intel is moving into the same markets that the OLPC project has targeted and Intel has apparently released some FUD marketing literature with titles like "the shortcomings of the One Laptop per Child approach."
The literature then touts Intel's more expensive ClassMate PC as a better alternative. Intel's CEO has also repeatedly referred to the OLPC machine as a $100 "gadget."
While few would deny the potential benefits for third world children were the OLPC project to spark some sort of price war on stripped down laptops, Intel's aggressiveness in what remains a largely charitable market is a bit off-putting.
Still, the recent war of words might sound like a case of sour grapes on Negroponte's part, after all, if the goal is to bring laptops to the developing world then who cares who makes them?
However, one key element in the debate is that the OLPC uses a processor from Intel's chief rival AMD.
"Intel and AMD fight viciously," Negroponte said on 60 Minutes, "we're just sort of caught in the middle."
While that may be true, Negroponte probably isn't helping his cause much by complaining about competition.
From the potential buyer's point of view the choice will always be easy — the machine with the most capabilities for the least amount of money.

NHS services across England have been hit by IT failure, caused by a large-scale cyber-attack.
Trusts and hospitals in London, Blackburn, Nottingham, Cumbria and Hertfordshire have been affected.
Some GP surgeries have had to shut down phone and IT systems while A&Es have told people not to attend unless it is a real emergency.
NHS Digital said in a statement that it did not have evidence that patient data had been accessed.
It added that the ransomware attack was not "specifically targeted at the NHS" and was affecting other organisations from a range of sectors.
Among those affected is the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust which says it is experiencing problems with computers and phone systems.
It has postponed all non-urgent activity and is asking people not to come to A&E at the Lister Hospital in Stevenage.
IT specialists are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible, a statement from the trust says.
Also affected is Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Trust which says it has shut down all of its IT systems following a "secure system attack".
A GP from a surgery in York said: "We received a call from York CCG [Clinical Commissioning Group] around an hour ago telling us to switch off all of our computers immediately.
"We have since remained open, and are dealing with things that can be dealt with in the meanwhile."
Meanwhile, Blackpool Hospitals NHS Trust has asked people not to attend A&E unless it was an emergency because of computer issues.
But the NHS in Wales said it had a separate IT system and had not been affected by the cyber-attack.
Analysis: Chris Baraniuk, technology reporter
Software that locks a computer and demands payment before allowing access again – ransomware – is one of the world's biggest growing cyber-threats.
It certainly looks like that is what has hit the NHS in this case – and one IT firm says 11 of its NHS customers have been affected.
Screenshots shared online, purportedly from NHS staff, show a program demanding $300 (£230) in Bitcoin that looks similar to ransomware known as WannaCryptor or WCry.
There's no indication of who is behind the attack yet, nor do we know exactly how it infected NHS systems.
But hospitals have been targeted with similar software before – it struck three US hospitals last year.

Manchester Arena 'explosions': Two loud bangs heard at MEN Arena

Air compression is a two fold process where the pressure of air is made to rise and the volume drops. The piston technology is the most common way to get this compression done and is present in most of the compressors in the market.
The following parts are found in piston compressors:
1. Crankshaft
2. Connecting Rod
3. Cylinder
4. Piston
5. Valve head
In most cases, the air compressor is powered by electric motors or gas but that depends on the model. The inlet and discharge valves are on one side of the machine which are shaped like metal flaps. The piston compresses after the inlet valve sucks in air and then the compressed air goes out through the discharge valve.
In some models, routing impellers are the ones which produce pressure. However, those are the ones used by machines. Most air compressors are filled with air tanks even though they have only a motor or pump. These air tanks store compressed air till its needed to be used. Compressed air then goes to supply lines which power the pneumatic tools. During all this process the motor keeps the pressure at desired consistency.
A vacuum is constantly created with the pistons back and forth movement. The retraction of the piston fills the front space with air, which is then sucked through inlets form the outside. Then that same air is compressed when the piston extends and is given strength to push through the discharge, keeping the inlet shut at the same time and then into the tank. The pressure keeps rising till the air is sent to the tank.

Move over Jessica Alba! There's a new fox in town – at least according to FHM Online, which named Transformers star Megan Fox their Sexiest Woman in the World for 2008.
The 21-year-old actress, who came in at No. 65 in last year's annual poll, beat an impressive Top 10, which includes Alba, Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Duff, and Blake Lively. "She's young, she's hot, she's a rising star and her sex appeal has definitely transformed this year's list," says FHM Online U.S. Editor JR Futrell. "She's got a great future ahead of her."
Fox can next be seen alongside Kirsten Dunst in the upcoming comedy How to Lose Friends & Alienate People.

Pakistani NASCAR driver won't race after embarrassing lap
AVONDALE, Ariz. — Nur Ali, the first NASCAR driver of Pakistani descent, will step out of his car for today's Nationwide Series race at Phoenix International Raceway after qualifying more five seconds slower than any other driver.
Joe Balash, Nationwide series director, told USA TODAY Sports that the team had informed him that Timmy Hill would drive for Ali.
Ali was guaranteed a starting spot because his team was in the top 30 in car owner points. Ali made his first series start last month at Kansas Speedway, finishing 33rd, and was not approved by NASCAR to run last weekend at Texas Motor Speedway.
"NASCAR has been great to me; I respect all the drivers in the series," Ali said, adding that his decision to step aside could further prove that point to competitors.
Ali's qualifying lap was 102.837 mph, more than 17 mph slower than any other driver in Saturday's 45-driver session (Derek White was 44th-best at 120.144 mph). Joey Logano won the pole with a lap of 132.621 mph.
NASCAR does not have a minimum speed rule, and Balash said it was too early to know if that would be added to the rule book in the future.
"I've been with the series over nine years, and we've really never had to sit down and have those conversations,'' Balash said. "Part of what we do with the Nationwide Series is develop new drivers. And part of developing new drivers has to be getting them laps on the racetracks. Practice laps are one thing; competitive laps are another."
Also, Elliott Sadler, tied with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. for the points lead, will start the rear of the field after hitting the wall in qualifying and going to a backup car.

Drought stress is the most common environmental stress that can significantly influence crop productivity. In this study, morphological and biochemical properties of 17 genotypes of common bean were evaluated under different levels of drought stress and the most sensitive and tolerant genotypes were identified using multivariate analysis. The results indicated that morphological and biochemical characteristics of common bean were significantly influenced by drought stress, genotype, and genotypes ×drought stress interaction. Principal component analysis summarized the 14 indices to four components which explained 85.71%, 84.52%, 85.86% and 84.94% of the total variation at control, moderate, severe and combined data, respectively. The correlation coefficients among most of the quantitative traits were statistically significant at all drought stress levels. A significant and positive correlation between chlorophyll and carotenoids with ascorbate peroxidase activity was observed at both moderate and severe drought stress conditions. These associations suggest that this enzyme plays an important role in ROS scavenging under drought stress. Clustering analysis grouped the genotypes into four divergent groups. The genotype-by-trait biplot analysis indicated that genotypes 1 and 2 were the most drought-tolerant and genotypes 12 and 16 were the most drought-sensitive genotypes under both moderate and severe drought stress conditions.

MObama was in NY again yesterday, busy cutting ribbons at the Met and then attending the American Ballet Opening Night Spring Gala. For day, Michelle opted for a springy lilac dress and coat combo by Isaac Mizrahi (Bravo should be thrilled). She then donned a shimmery Alaia for the evening's gala. We're wondering if the choice was an apology of sorts for the miscredited Times Magazine frock. Or maybe she just likes Alaia.
Purple is definitely an appropriate, yet often intimidating color to wear in warm weather. We suggest trying it out in a day dress like this short-sleeved version from ecoSkin ($128, was $160) or this Trina Turk deep-v frock ($268).

Lobby CorpsThe Lobby Corps provides delegates a one-of-a-kind Conference experience, allowing its members to undergo the legislative process from the unique perspective of a lobbyist. Submit Pre-Legislative Assignment
It is a lobbyist's goal to respectfully and powerfully influence and advocate for the passing or failing of legislation. A lobbyist relies on his or her ability to vocalize his or her client's position in an effort to change the opinion and vote of the Congress.Lobby Corps Missions Statement
While lobbyists do not author bills themselves, these delegates have the unique privilege of being able to speak in favor of or against any bill presented during chamber sessions–besides their initially assigned bills–in accordance with the positions of the clients that they are representing. Lobbyists come into Conference with not only a considerable knowledge of their initially assigned bills, but also a significant understanding of the backgrounds, beliefs and interests of their respective clients.
In addition to speaking on bills, lobbyists are also tasked with participating in the Think Tank, in which lobbyists offer valuable advice and points to willing authors on their bills during scheduled appointments. The goal of Think Tank is to prepare bill authors for inquiries and debatable questions that they may be faced with.
Besides bill debate and the Think Tank, lobbyists have multiple options to participate in entirely different areas of Conference. These opportunities include serving as consultants in the Executive Response Committee, speaking on cases presented in the Judicial Courts as "amici curiae" ("friends of the court"), and even defending bills brought forth to the Governor's Cabinet
