- Description / Features / Spec
Casella CEL-633 1/3 Octave Band Sound Level Meter Kit (Class 1 - L/E)
This Sound Level Meter Kit from Casella features an Environmental, 1/3 Octave Band Class 1 CEL-633 instrument with logging. Environmental models include features such as simultaneous broadband and frequency measurement and triggered 'event' capture.
The CEL-630 series was designed to undertake the measurement requirements of noise in the workplace and environmental noise. The instruments are easy to use and comply with the latest IEC and ANSI international standards for sound level meters. All data is measured and stored simultaneously to avoid errors, ensuring the highest level of performance.
Models for both environmental and/or occupational noise are available, with the availability of frequency analysis and advance functions such as data markers, timers and logging of time history data.
This range of Casella sound level meters can be applied in occupations noise measurement, calculation of noise exposure, selection of hearing protection or boundary noise assessments.
Audio recording is a standard feature of the CEL-630 series with all models having a voice notes capability. This allows the user to speak into a microphone before or after a measurement so results can be annotated without having to be written down. Data can also be 'marked' during a measurement of noise in the workplace or environmental noise to signify either an anomalous or significant event. Audio is also recorded for later noise source identification. If the instrument is used for unattended measurements, audio recording can be triggered by a condition such as a given level being exceeded for a period of time. In this case additional data will be collected along with the audio which can be particularly useful where the noise source of interest is transient.
Workplace noise levels and environmental noise level can be made quickly and the displayed information can be made as simple or comprehensive as needed. The calibration dates and times are stored and downloaded to Casella insight software which validates the accuracy of measurements.
Other features of the CEL-630 series are the display which shows the battery status (up to 15 hours), memory capacity and measurement view selected. The memory capacity stands at 2GB which stores more than 1 year of continuous data.

Computer Upgrade
My Dell tower has been running Windows Vista since it was new 5 years ago. But as I run more and more software simultaneously, it got to the point where it would freeze-up in the middle of my work and need to be rebooted. This was especially bothersome when I was helping someone on the telephone. I reached the point where I had to upgrade it or replace it. Friday night my brother Lloyd doubled the RAM and added a second hard disk. And it seems to have solved the problem!

Follow the storyline of the entire action manga epic in Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2. The destructive power of the techniques of Hokuto Shinken and Nanto Seiken meet the intense action of the Warriors series to produce a thrilling experience for fans of both series. In addition to the signature moves of the first title, new actions such as 'sprint' and 'dodge' have been added to the move sets.
A new Legend mode offers a re-imagined version of the Raoh storyline and also covers the Celestial Emperor and Land of Shura sagas. This faithful adaptation ensures that this mode can be enjoyed by both fans of the manga and new comers to Kenshiro's post-apocalyptic world. Different characters will be controlled for each episode while 'boss' encounters will feature entire famous scenes from the manga, recreated in intricate detail. A second mode called Dream Mode introduces newly-written, original storylines to the Fist of the North Star universe while bridging the gaps between parts of the main story, often focusing on some of the series' minor characters. And for those wishing to battle with friends, Co-Op and Versus modes puts gamers together online in the wasteland.

In one of the most noteworthy developments to occur in Wilson in years, Nora's Fish Creek Inn has begun serving customers a real cup of coffee.
The landmark eatery switched this week from its longstanding brand, Farmer Brothers, to the local java by Snake River Roasting Co.
Given the refined palates of West Bankers, I've often wondered why Nora's stuck with Farmer Bros. for so long. While sampling a cup of the new coffee with a plate of huevos Thursday, I asked owner Kathryn Tygum Taylor if people ever complained.
"They've been complaining about it for 32 years," she said.
The family-run, James Beard Award-winning restaurant is serving Kirby's First Tram, a flavor named for ski patrolman Kirby Williams, but Tygum said she plans to experiment and come up with her own blend.
Wilsonites are advised to watch out for Denny Emory, a Nora's regular who because of the switch is at risk of being overcaffeinated.

Syracuse coach deletes Tweet calling Atlanta 'softnosed'
What do they say? Think before you Tweet?
Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer -- like a lot of the country -- fired off a tweet Wednesday about how the South was handling (or not handling) the snow well.
MORE: How teams fared in BCS era | Ohio State coach stuck in Atlanta | Top 10 for '14
LOSTLETTERMEN: Eight SEC stadiums covered in snow
"2 inches of snow, city and airport shutdown ATL #softnosed"
Needless to say, his remark wasn't taken too kindly from southerners.
We'd show you some of the comments, but his tweet was deleted.
Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples captured it and you can see some of the responses to Shafer's remarks here.
Fixed. Softnosed southerners from FSU, Clemson and Georgia Tech beat Syracuse by a combined 164-17 in 2013. pic.twitter.com/CnRHUmjETb
— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) January 29, 2014
Sure, Shafer -- who's been at Syracuse the past five seasons (just 2013 as head coach) -- has seen his area handle snow much better. But that's nothing new. Considering that Syracuse is in the ACC and in order to compete, the Orange will have to dip into the "softnosed" South for players, Shafer should pick his words more carefully in the future.
Syracuse was 7-6 overall last season and 4-4 in the ACC, including a 56-0 pasting at the hands of Georgia Tech ... in Atlanta.

Download Dexpot 1.6 Beta "Indefatigable Ivy"
- DexControl - Virtual desktops simplified
- Multi-monitor support
Systems with multiple screens are now fully supported by Dexpot:
- Preview features like the full-screen preview and the SevenDex plugin include all monitors.
- The animations provided by the Dexcube and Dexgrid plugins are visible on all monitors.
- Individual monitors can be excluded from desktop switching.
- The desktop background can be customized for each monitor separately.
- Preview features like the full-screen preview and the SevenDex plugin include all monitors.
- Application assignment
Using the new application assignment feature, programs can be permanently bound to a particular desktop with just a few clicks.
- Persistent taskbar
The taskbar buttons of all windows on all desktops can be kept visible in the taskbar. This option is best suited for Windows 7 users who have pinned all their commonly used applications to the taskbar. When a taskbar button is clicked, Dexpot automatically switches to the desktop the corresponding window is on.
- New desktop icon customization
The new icon customization creates a separate folder in the file system for each desktop which stores only this one desktop's icons. It is more intuitive and less error-prone than the old approach.
- Hot corners and mouse wheel switching
Using the new MouseEvents plugin, Dexpot functions can be triggered by moving the mouse cursor into screen corners. Global mouse wheel shortcuts can be used for desktop switching.
- Full-screen and Show-desktop detection
When a full-screen application like a video player or a Powerpoint presentation becomes active, Dexpot automatically hides the Desktop Manager, the desktop name on-screen display, and similar components. If the Desktop Manager option "Always on top" is disabled, the manager will automatically be shown when "Show desktop" (Win+D) is triggered.
- Improved desktop name on-screen display
Cleaner, better readability and freely positionable: the improved desktop name on-screen display.
- New hotkeys, title bar actions and rule actions
New items include the window command hotkeys and the rule action "Roll up".
- DexTab improvements
Windows can be moved from one desktop to another by dragging them with the mouse in the DexTab task and desktop switchers. Thanks to multi-column display and scrolling, the task switcher can now also cope with extremely high numbers of open windows.
- Loading profiles via shortcuts
Profiles can be loaded by opening their .dxp files with Dexpot. This way you can create shortcuts to quickly load a particular profile.

The other half has super dry, psoriasis ridden hands that have plagued him for quite a while. At its worse, he can't physically move his hands because his skin is so dry and cracked. So I thought I would force him to tell me his 5 favourite creams for his hands – all these creams belonged to me before he savagely slopped them all over his mitts.
Moisturizer goes missing a lot round these parts.
Says the other half:
"I've found that hand creams with SPF tend to irritate my hands so – are you going to finish that? – I find ones with SPF sits on the surface and bit and doesn't work on my dry hands.
I like ones that are creamy not too water based so it lasts and soothes my hands. I'm not bothered about the smell though as long as it doesn't irritate them. Also I need something that sinks in fairly quickly cos I got to tidy up after you, but I still want it to sit on the surface so it doesn't dry out. Also my hands are cracked a lot so it shouldn't sting."
So here's his top 5…
1. Dr Organics Manuka Honey Hand & Nail Cream
One of the most recent ones he has used and he completely loves it. At £4.99 its good price and it is also organic and avoids a lot of the nasty additives. There's also quite a few flavours to choose from but I chose Manuka as its healing.
He says: "I think this ones has healed my skin up quite quickly and was just effective to use. And when I ran out my hands went downhill again" (I think he's hinting that I need to go and and get one…)
2. Dr Nick Lowe Double Duty Hand Cream
This is £12.67 and its main benefit is that it has a SPF of 15 but doesn't irritate the boyfriends hands. It also has a multitude of vitamins and is not a bad price.
He says "Oh this has a nice smell and it has the sun protection thing, and sunk in quickly. The main reason I – I mean you – would spend this much on a cream like this though is the SPF I think, cos its hard to find one with SPF that doesn't sting."
3. Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Hand Cream
This was one of the first luxury hand creams I bought for some ridiculous amount like £16 – I've noticed its gone up to £22 – ouch! It is a stunning cream, I love the medicinal smell and the light gel-cream texture a lot (the normal 8 hour cream is obviously far to thick and sticky to use as a hand cream).
I would highly recommend you shop around as you can get this for about £12 from discount websites, do not pay £22 for it!
He says "Its smells nice, its just very good. Sunk in quickly, so it meant I could get on with
eating doing stuff. Its been a while since I used it but it stuck in my mind so it must be good."
4. Cuticura Dry Skin Intensive Hand & Nail Cream
I got this from Home Bargains, which is like a cheap discount store for £1 when the other half was eating through my moisturizers and was eyeing up my Creme De La Mer – not even the face cream, my eye concentrate for christssake! This is a great budget choice at 99p and I haven't used it personally but other half says:
He says "This reminded me of Neutrogena and was easy to carry round. It was one of the more long lasting creams so I didn't have to keep putting it on whilst I was at work."
>5. Gloves in a Bottle
I liked using Gloves in a Bottle too – this is a shielding lotion and it creates a protective barrier between our hands and the elements and day to day stuff. It sinks in super quick and was handy to carry around. I think I paid about £4 for the small bottle.
He says: "I liked this cos it was compact and lasted ages on my hands. It was easy to apply and wasn't too greasy. This is a good one for when the hands are a bit better for maintaining my skin"
Best for healing: Dr Organic Manuka Honey
Best for day to day, working mode: Gloves in a bottle
But really, he just takes what he can get!

First country that is getting TCL from Barack Hussein Obama, the Usurper…
And Twitter?
Embaixada EUA Brasil
How many of our Embassies around the world are working to fluff for Obama and his re-election attempt/and or collect donations as Kenya did in 2008? More wasting away of taxpayer dollars which benefits only "That One"!
Guess I will have to start looking around for others…hmm?

Happy Halloween!
I stitched this Halloween Sampler from EyeCandy Needleart. Beads, Burmilana and Kreinik were all it took. So cute. Ada is an awesome designer.
I made this Halloween Stained Glass picture frame. It would be perfect for a photo of one's grandkids dressed up for Halloween, don't you think? It has a glass beveled stand and a 4" square bevel for the photo. One of these days I will have an Etsy.com listing for my Stained Glass work.
Now... let's talk about the Nutcrackers and Smokers! (Yes, I've got it bad.) Christian Ulbricht is my preferred Nutcracker designer, but I do have some from other designers, too.
I have Witch Smokers and Witch Nutcrackers:
I have Cat Smokers and Cat Nutcrackers, too:
This concludes my Halloween 2011 Show & Tell. The Creepy Characters are certainly in good company, don't you think? I can't wait to stitch my next Halloween piece. So many choices; the designers have wonderful new canvases as well as my existing stash is over-flowing. Hope I have inspired some needlepoint for your future Halloween.
Until the next time... Thanks, Robin

This is the seventh in our biweekly series from Amy Pennington — urban farmer, founder of GoGo Green Garden, and author of Urban Pantry and Apartment Gardening — on how to start growing your own food, no matter how tiny your garden-to-be is.
Today: Amy explains how to become a pro at crop rotations and plant families. For the soil health of your garden, for the productivity of your plants, and for an increased harvest, just plan your garden's year with a few simple principles in mind.
Garden Mapping: Drawing out Plans and Crop Rotations
– Amy
Now that your beds are prepped, your seeds are started and your soil is being built up, it's time for the best part of urban farming: planting. Before sowing seed and planting small starts in the garden, it's best to have a planting plan. As we discussed in an earlier City Dirt, you should by now have a garden space ready for planting and your garden wish list. Using the wish list and your map, you can begin mapping out and implementing a year-long garden plan. Here are a few key concepts that are helpful to understand before mapping out your beds.
Crop Rotations Crops are rotated in gardens (and even in large scale agriculture!) to support healthy soil. By rotating crops through garden beds continually over the seasons and years, you confuse pests, minimize the threat of soil disease, and replenish nitrogen in the soil by planting and tilling in manure. Some crop families must be rotated because they are prone to soil disease -- brassicas (cabbage, kale, broccoli, etc), nightshades (tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, etc), and alliums (onions, garlic, leeks, etc). And aside from disease, different types of plants use different nutrients. By rotating plant families through the same bed over time, you prevent nutrient depletion in your soil.
From left to right: plant families organized in groups, plantings for spring, and plantings for summer (note the sun's placement)
Plant Families Crops in the same plant families tend to attract the same pests and diseases. In general, organic gardening follows a crop rotation of "leaf, root, flower, and fruit". Each family takes up a different nutrient and each will help minimize nutrient depletion from the soil:
• "Leaf" family plants (lettuce, chard, kale, etc) draw mostly nitrogen from the soil, to support their leafy green growth. • "Roots" (beets, carrots, parsnips, radishes, etc) use both nitrogen and potassium. • "Flower" and "Fruit" plants use mostly phosphorous and some nitrogen. Phosphorous is what allows strong flower and fruit development.
Of course, by planting a mixed bed you further add diversity to the garden, so when starting to map out your beds, keep these plant families in mind.
Position of Your Garden Beds You must be mindful of the position of your beds and how sun tracks across them. This is important, as sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Depending on where you live, the sun will be strongest at a particular time of day -- plant accordingly to accommodate maximum sun exposure on all plants.
Before and after: planting taller plants on the eastern-most edge of the garden
For example, in Seattle I plant my tallest plants on the eastern-most edge of my beds. As the sun rises and tracks over the bed, these plants will put on growth, in essence blocking anything east of them as the sun sets. Because of this, you don't want to put your tallest plants at the western edge of your bed -- if you did that, they would eventually shade out the rest of it. Make sense? If not, toss a note in the comments.
Additionally, as sun sets there is often shade created on the western-most beds due to the sun ducking behind a neighboring house, a tall fence, a tree line, etc. Considering that the eastern-most beds get the most sunlight, you should place your heat-loving vegetables here too -- plants that need sun to ripen fruit like tomatoes, melons, and peas.
Mapping out Your Garden Back to the garden wish list! Start separating all of your wish list items into plant families. Typically, I make four columns for Leaf, Root, Flower, and Fruit and list all of the plants under them. When you're through, you'll be able to see where there are missing plants -- often people end up with a LOT of Leaf and Fruit plants. Try your best to distribute evenly so you have variety and don't end up with an entire garden full of greens for the year.
Starting with the plants most near and dear to your heart, map out your beds. Put tomatoes and peppers in one bed, lettuce and kale in another, and so on. After you've placed all of the plants, go back through and designate their sow or transplant dates. This will help you discover if you're able to put something in the beds sooner.
Lettuces and beets planted in a garden bed that will hold tomatoes in June
Here's an example: in Seattle, I transplant tomatoes into the garden on June 1st. This means that I have an open bed space from April through June, about three months. Following the plant family rotation, I should plant a row of beets and lettuces now. This satisfies Leaf and Root, leaving Flower and Fruit (tomatoes) for a June sowing. To fill in a June flower, I would pick Chrysanthemum -- a delicious green and gorgeous flower -- to plant next to the tomatoes. Just like that, I have a natural crop and plant family rotation AND I'm maximizing my beds across two growing seasons.
From here, plan what you'll plant after your tomatoes are harvested in August/September. In September, you can plant another bed full of leafy greens -- kale and arugula do well in fall, or opt for a green cover crop like rye or vetch to replenish soil nutrients.
The first time you map out your garden will be a bit of a brain bender. I know that it reads as confusing now, but this is truly all of the information you'll ever need for successful gardening. If you take two hours this spring to map out your year, you'll never have to think of it again. You just follow the plan and you're golden -- I'm looking forward to all of your comments and questions!
Two examples of garden maps for a season's plantings
Once your map is made, it's time to start planting whether by seed or start. My hunch is you'll have questions on that, so stay tuned for the next edition of City Dirt where we'll discuss just how to sow a seed, a variety of sowing strategies, and when to invest in a plant start instead.

Fossils in Canowindra, NSW
On this page...
Where is Canowindra?
Canowindra is a town in central-west New South Wales, 300 km west of Sydney.
Why is Canowindra important?
The Canowindra fauna is a very rich Late Devonian fish fauna. All of the fossil specimens are preserved on a single bedding plane, part of an ancient fish community which had been trapped in a pool of water which dried up, killing the fish. Incoming sediments later buried these fishes quickly and quietly, with minor disturbance to the fish skeletons. The Canowindra site is listed as part of Australia's National Heritage because of its international scientific importance.
Fossil time period: Canowindra
The Devonian Period (416 - 359 million years ago) is known as the Age of Fishes, since the aquatic and marine environments were populated by large numbers and varieties of fishes. Only later in the Devonian did the first tetrapods (four legged animals) appear. Plants were establishing themselves on land and by the Late Devonian some had reached tree size. Australia, as a part of the super-continent Pangaea, was drifting southwards away from the equator and was thus experiencing a general cooling. There was also general uplift and by the Late Devonian there was less marine sedimentation but extensive terrestrial sedimentary basins, particularly in the east.
Canowindra fossils
The fauna is dominated by two species of antiarch placoderms (armoured fishes), Bothriolepis and Remigolepis (97% of the fauna). Groenlandaspis, an arthrodiran placoderm, is much rarer, with only about 50 specimens recovered. The sarcopterygians (lobe-finned fishes) are even rarer, with the remains of approximately 20 individuals so far noted. Along with Canowindra grossi, the sarcopterygian taxa Mandageria fairfaxi Johanson & Ahlberg, 1997, Cabonnichthys burnsi Ahlberg & Johanson, 1997, Gooloogongia loomesi Johanson & Ahlberg, 1998 and Soederberghia simpsoni Ahlberg et al., 2001 have been described. Soederberghia simpsoni is a lungfish, a group with a good fossil record, but today known only from three genera in South America, Africa and Australia (the Queensland lungfish, Neoceratodus). Soederberghia is also known from a Late Devonian locality near Forbes, New South Wales, and from Pennsylvania, U.S.A. and East Greenland.

By using methods developed to study the interactions of particles and applying them to economics, researchers at the University of Sydney have shown that small changes can create a tipping point and lead to catastrophic changes for the whole economy.
"We have shown that when many economic agents are interacting, all while trying to get the most out of their dealings with each other, a point can emerge which tips the whole economy into a sudden downturn," said Dr Michael Harré , from the University's Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies.
"For example, if car manufacturers are competing against each other to sell electric or petrol-powered cars and there is a sudden shift from electric to petrol-powered it would drastically shift the demand for petrol with subsequent economic knock-on effects.
"On the upside if we know how to reward individual market sectors within an economy it is possible to steer the economy around these changes to avoid potential economic disasters."
Dr Harré is lead author, with colleagues from the University's Complex Systems Research Group, of a paper recently published in the European Physical Journal B .
The article is based on previous research on how economic agents making strategic decisions in an economy behave like physical particles in a closed system.
"It has become increasingly clear that economic theory is not able to sufficiently explain the unexpected bubbles and crashes occurring in economies throughout the world. These are not only sudden plunges in share markets, but also in housing markets which have a direct and immediate impact on many of us," said Dr Harré.
"Alternative models such as ours can contribute to our understanding of such events."
The researchers have previously shown how the interaction of tax rates can unintentionally drive an economy towards a tipping point. Their current paper looks at average net profits.
"Using this interpretation we were able to show that as an industry sector's profitability varies over time small changes can result in the industry sector and all of the interconnected industries collapsing at the same time," Dr Harré said.
"On the positive side, we showed that if we are able to mildly tweak the incentives and profitability of each industry sector, these tipping points can be avoided, essentially steering the economy around catastrophic collapses."
Being able to successfully navigate such tipping points depends on improving our understanding of the economic interactions that drive economies, the researchers claim.
"Encouragingly, there are a number of key areas currently being studied such as economic resilience and flexibility that will help us understand how close we are to a tipping point and what to do about it."

Now we're talking: Soy & Chickpea burgers!
We had an amazing lunch today and I am really proud of myself for getting it right in every respect.
There was Hungarian roasted pepper and paprika chicken (yum!) served with a side of tomato & basil couscous and golden crusted brussels sprouts on the table.
It was a feast and both V and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
Yet, none of the above is the dish I will be talking about today. But don't worry! I'll post those recipes- because really I can't keep all that good stuff to just me. You guys should be in the know too!
You guys should also be in the know of these burgers that I made over the weekend.

Jonathan Saunders Spring 2012 Runway Photos
Jonathan Saunders Spring 2012
Jonathan Saunders Spring 2012
>> The sunset shades of Miami Beach met the undone ladies of Valley of the Dolls in Jonathan Saunders Spring 2012 collection. Pastel peachy and blue hues — punctuated by vivid brights like aqua, orange, and fuchsia — turned up on updated '60s separates, while prints like a turquoise tile-print and a delicate polka dot were splashed across silky tops and full-skirted shifts. "I've been toying with the idea of 'pretty'," he explained.
Saunders spent the last year doing trunk shows in Boston, L.A. and New York — and his new-found understanding of his customer showed. With all the easy shapes and gorgeous color mixing, this season felt ladylike, elegant, wearable — and ultimately, super fresh.

BALTIMORE– The UMBC women's lacrosse team looks to continue its recent momentum, but will face a challenge when it travels to No. 7/5 Johns Hopkins for a mid-week matchup on Wednesday, April 16 at Homewood Field.
The Retrievers have won back-to-back contests to improve to 7-6 overall and 1-2 in America East play. Sophomore Rachel Benzing (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) and junior Alyssa Semones (Westminster, Md./Westminster/Penn State) are each coming off exceptional weeks. Benzing dished out seven assists in UMBC's two victories last week and added the opening goal in a 12-9 victory against Vermont on Saturday. Benzing leads the squad (16) and ranks fifth in the league in assists per game (1.33). Semones tallied a team-best six goals on the week and is tied for first on the squad with senior Kristen Bilney (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) with 20 goals on the season. Semones has chipped in a team-best 33 ground balls, third in the conference, while also adding 30 draw controls and 13 caused turnovers.
Junior Abby Wilson (Bel Air, Md./Fallston) continues to pilot the team in points, representing the only Retriever with double-digit goals (16) and assists (10). Bilney leads the squad with 24 draw controls on the year, in addition to her 20 goals and three assists.
In net, red-shirt sophomore Anna Barnett (Midland, Texas/Midland) has started the last two contests to improve to 5-3 on the season. Barnett is allowing 8.8 goals per game and has made a team-best 59 stops.
Johns Hopkins (11-2, 2-2 ALC) snapped a two-game skid by defeating No. 5 Northwestern in double overtime on Sunday afternoon. Sophomore Dene' DiMartino registered a career-best five goals in the victory. She ranks second on the team in points (41), goals (35) and draw controls (34). Senior Taylor D'Amore pilots the team's offensive efforts, registering 37 goals, 32 assists and 46 draw controls. Junior KC Emerson has started 12-of-13 games for the Blue Jays, holding opponents to 7.0 goals per game and making 55 saves.
UMBC is 14-10-2 all-time against Johns Hopkins. The Blue Jays defeated the Retrievers, 11-5, last season at the UMBC Stadium, but the black and gold was victorious in the last meeting at Homewood field, a 7-6 win on April 25, 2012 against a nationally-ranked Johns Hopkins.

Hey guys, welcome to another drawing tutorial once again. A few lessons today will be featured from a cool game that I've been playing since I was 11. In this tutorial, I will show you "how to draw a Zergling", step by step. This character along with the Hydralisk are my ultimate favorites, as it is with other hardcore Zerg fans. Kerrigan is also a pretty cool character as she is the leader of the Swarm. I'm not sure if any of you have played the StarCraft 2 game yet, but it's pretty awesome. Lots of cool effects and awesome new units that give the Zerg a scarier reason to avoid them. I hope you guys will have fun with this tutorial, I had a lot of fun. I would have done a full body of the Zergling, but it would have taken up lots of my spare time for other tutorials. Have fun and good luck!

PARIS, Dec 11 (Reuters) - A Paris court formally placed the founder of French drugmaker Servier under investigation on Tuesday on suspicion of manslaughter for his role in the Mediator anti-diabetes drug scandal, his lawyer said.
In one of France's biggest health scandals, officials blamed at least 500 deaths on the drug that was often prescribed for weight loss before being pulled from the French market in 2009, about a decade after its withdrawal from Spain, Italy and the United States.
Louis Servier, 90, was ordered to post bail of 75,000 euros ($97,500), his lawyer Herve Temime, told Reuters.
Six subsidiaries of Servier, which were similarly put under investigation on Tuesday, were ordered to pay a total of 2.4 million euros.
Placing Servier under formal investigation is a step that can, but does not necessarily, lead to a trial.
A related trial to determine whether Servier, who also was the company's president, misled patients and authorities about the drug was delayed in May and is still pending.
Servier has denied those accusations.
Although licensed as a diabetes treatment, Mediator was widely prescribed, with a state subsidy, as an appetite suppressant to help people lose weight.
The drug is now suspected of causing heart valve disorders. ($1 = 0.7693 euros) (Reporting By Thierry Leveque. Writing by Alexandria Sage; Editing by Michael Roddy)

Rouge Bunny Rouge Eye Liner Brush, Large Shader Brush & Loose Glitter Pigments EOTD
I wanted a brush to use with my gel liners and the 013 brush works a treat. The hair is natural sable and it has a a very thin long tip so is great to create a fine line. I would say that after your wash it you need to smooth the hairs down to make sure that when its dry it keeps its shape.
The shader brush is made of natural pony hair. Its quite a thick textured brush and the head size is medium (bigger than a MAC 239 but smaller than their 227). Its not too soft, nor too firm and I realised how versatile it was after I had unwittingly washed nearly all of my eye brushes and this was the only one clean and dry; it applied my all over shadow, lid shade and crease shade effortlessly.
I thought I'd show you a really simple look I have been doing of late with some of my RBR Loose Glitter Pigments.
Sleeping Under a Mandarin Tree on the inner lid, Wishing For Wings in the middle and Spun from Sunny Seawater on the outer lid, then I blend it all down so the colours are more subtle but I don't blend the colours too much into each other as I wanted to keep them quite separate. I really like these pigments, the application, colours and wear of the product beat all other loose shadows I have tried.
I bought all these items from Zuneta.com

We have confirmed that Apple's historically unreliable iCloud email system which service @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com emails is currently silently dropping emails and affecting our alert mail deliveries.
We want to emphasis this has nothing to do with us and everything to do with iCloud's broken spam filtering which is well documented on the web over the last month.
If you are affected, please choose one of the following three options:
- Check your iCloud email account's Junk folder for our alert emails. If you find them there, mark them as not-spam. If you do not find our emails in the Junk folder and have not received any in the past 24 hours, go to option 2 or 3.
- Contact Apple Care. All iCloud users are paying members and deserve a better product, and politely let them know you are unable to receive emails from @fanfiction.com and @fictionpress.com. Please note the .com in fanfiction.com. Calling is the best option. If enough people complain, they will fix this problem.
- Hate to suggest this since we know users will resist as they have already paid for the service, but we recommend users to sign-up for a more reliable email service such as gmail or even outlook (formerly hotmail). You heard that right, many top free email providers are much better than iCloud and this is not just only us saying this.
If enough people complain to Apple Care support regarding their email filtering issue, they just might fix it.

Even though you can find many headphones product that you around you, but AKG headphones can be used as good choice for you. Commonly, there are many things that most customers consider before they buy headphones. More and more, a price is always becoming main consideration for them, so they can find best headphones base on their budget. However, you should become smart buyer, so you should know how to find best product without spending much money.
In this world and in this modern era, you should not worry about it because when do not find affordable product at local market, you can find it at online store. Both price and quality should become main consideration for you as buyer, so you can get best product with cheap price. It is not impossible for it, moreover when you know more about the product. Taking reviews will help you to get it.
These are a great pair of headphones that can be snapped up for a comparatively cheaper price than others on the market, and those on this list. If you're a budding sound producer, with tons of ideas that you want to get just right, then this is the pair for you. They're light-weight, affordable and have a higher sensitivity than the K702s mentioned above- an extra decibel and a half.
For the price, you cannot expect the bass to be out of this world, and the sound may come across a little thin at times, but will give you the best it can. These are easy to wear and comfortable on the skin, they don't grip your ears as some do which can be uncomfortable. Due to the fact that they are highly flexible and foldable, they may come across at first as cheap and easily broken. Stick with them and they will be a trusty partner in any closed-back recordings you need to perform in the studio at home or at work. They will be best put to use for dubbing rather than mixing because of the attributes they have been created with.

Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez insists he attempted to avoid all the summertime talk that he was being shopped to the Orlando Magic as part of a potential Dwight Howard trade.
But Friday's game in Orlando still will be a bit strange for him because good friend Ryan Anderson no longer is with the Magic.
Lopez and Anderson were rookie teammates with the New Jersey Nets during the 2008-09 season.
"That's my guy," Lopez said of Anderson.
"It is bizarre, but he is doing well out in New Orleans and enjoying his time out there, and my brother [Robin Lopez] is out there as well. So I've been checking in on him a little bit."

HONOLULU (Reuters) - Hawaii state officials on Sunday canceled a tsunami advisory prompted by a powerful earthquake off the Canadian coast that sent thousands of people fleeing to higher ground, but did not cause major damage.
The advisory was canceled shortly before 4 a.m. local time (1400 GMT) after the anticipated waves rolled in lower than expected, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
Kevin Richards, earthquake and tsunami manager for Hawaii State Civil Defense, said water, gas and power lines were not damaged by the smaller-than-expected waves.
"Everything is normal," Richards said. "We're in good shape with this one."
Tens of thousands of people fled shoreline areas on Saturday night following siren blasts and a tsunami warning from the center that waves as tall as 6 feet could hit in some places.
Scientists downgraded the warning to an advisory shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday (1100 GMT) and there were no reports of injuries, serious flooding or damage.
The highest wave measured 2.5 feet, and that hit Kahului harbor on the island of Maui, said Dr. Gerard Fryer, senior geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
All beaches were reopened on Oahu, the most populated island in Hawaii, on Sunday morning, Richards said. Beaches remained closed on the island of Hawaii, but were set to reopen shortly.
Tsunami warning sirens began blaring across the islands at about 8 p.m. on Saturday as state officials ordered a coastal evacuation, prompting a mass exodus that clogged roadways as motorists fled low-lying areas.
On Oahu, the sirens prompted an immediate crush of traffic in Honolulu, with many motorists stopping at service stations to top up with gasoline.
Vindell Hsu, a geophysicist at the tsunami warning center, said the evacuation affected an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 people who live in Hawaii's coastal zones.
But residents and visitors resumed their daily lives around the state on Sunday. One woman, vacationing at a beachfront home in Kailua, Oahu, said this is the second time she has been evacuated from a tsunami warning.
"I do not think the state over-reacted at all," said Heidi Wilson, a San Diego resident. "I was blown away at the coordinated effort on all the islands. I felt secure with all the precautions."
The warnings followed a magnitude 7.7 earthquake that hit off Canada's Pacific coastal province of British Columbia late on Saturday.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered 123 miles south-southwest of Prince Rupert at a depth of 6.2 miles.
The Earthquakes Canada agency said the temblor was followed by numerous aftershocks as large as magnitude 4.6 and that a small tsunami had been recorded by a deep-ocean pressure sensor.
The last time Oahu had a tsunami warning was after the devastating Japanese earthquake of March 2011.
Fryer said scientists overestimated the wave sizes in part because deep ocean sensors had a bad angle on the tsunami. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center plans to carefully review the event.
"We have to see what worked and what didn't work ... and find ways to reduce unnecessary evacuations and still not miss anything," Fryer said.

Money in fantasy
Monetary systems in fantasy often fall into the gold/silver/copper lines. Partly because this is familiar and partly because it's easier for readers to remember than, say, platinum/steel/tin.
Usually, the variations come in what the different types of coins are called. In Westeros, the world of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, gold coins are dragons and silver coins are stags – an interesting tip of the head to the political system, where the previous (dead) king's symbol was a dragon, and the current king's sigil is a stag.
In China Mieville's world of Bas-Lag, people use shekels as currency, which I liked a lot because it reminded me of the ancient Middle East. Jack Vance's world of Tschai is even more imaginative, though, since people there use sequins.
Sequins, on Tschai, are small colored gemstone-like objects that grow in nodes that bud unpredictably from the ground. Nodes can produce over a hundred sequins, which all start off clear, but take time to ripen to their final colors of scarlet and purple (passing through white, blue, green, etc. along the way). This sets the system in place – the clears are almost worthless while the purples are the most valuable.
So fortune-hunters on Tschai look for nodes. Needless to say, there's an area where nodes do grow in some quantity, and it's a hunting province patrolled by the vicious aliens called the Dirdir.
In our own past, people have used cowrie shells and salt as currency (the word "salary" derives from "salt"). Theoretically, money can be made of anything, as long as people can't easily reproduce or damage it – coins made of glass would be unfeasible. It should also be in a form that can be readily transported and transferred.
Only in modern times has money been digital, existing as information passed from one computer network to another. I've thought and thought, but there seems to be no way to translate this to a fantasy world, without first setting up a banking system and teaching people finance. Until then, characters will just have to carry around their shekels, sequins, stags and so on.

The currency in my world is called 'Denor' after the Royal city Denorga where it is all governed.
I like shekels though. Never thought to use that. Oh well. Never mind... ;)

Most European nations used silver as the base coin, not gold (unlike in D&D inspired fantasy).
In the game series Fallout they use caps, as in metal bottle caps. Easy to find but hard to reproduce.

That's because silver is more common than gold. These metals are much desired but rare, which makes them valuable. But if the medieval alchemists had succeeded in making lots of gold and silver, those metals would have become useless as money. In fact, in 1404, King Henry IV of England had outlawed the alchemical manufacture of gold and silver, likely for that reason.
Something of that sort happened to Spain in the 1500's, when Spanish conquerors brought back lots of gold and silver from the New World. They thought that that gold and silver would make them rich, but it caused a lot of inflation. People wondered why the price of eggs went up.
"I learnt a proverb here", said a French traveler in 1603: "Everything is dear in Spain except silver".
That might make an interesting plotline -- someone thinks that discovering the secret to make gold will make them rich, but it makes gold worthless as money, though still useful as a raw material.

DRC : Naming coins after a city is a great idea. Maybe paying with those outside such a specific location can be done, but it also marks you as being from that particular city or region.
ralfast : I love the image of people in a dystopian wasteland collecting bottle caps (or Coke-can tabs) to use as currency.
Loren : Thanks for explaining that. Finances have never been my forte - I'm great at saving money, but it took Arthur Hailey's The Moneychangers for me to understand exactly what auditors do. I should look up exactly how inflation occurs too.

Planet of Adventure was one of the first scifi book I ever read, this is a cool blast from the past.
Also gonna have to disagree with this:
Only in modern times has money been digital, existing as information passed from one computer network to another. I've thought and thought, but there seems to be no way to translate this to a fantasy world, without first setting up a banking system and teaching people finance. Until then, characters will just have to carry around their shekels, sequins, stags and so on.
While the "digital" part may not be applicable to fantasy (without like, magitech computers made of ghosts bound to do counting and long distance communication or something), what you're describing are systems of credit, which have been around basically forever and contrary to longstanding orthodoxy, were actually the first forms of money, read more here:
Ancient systems of credit would actually be a cool addition to fantasy novels dealing with the distant past, but complex systems of loans and banking existed at least as far back as the high middle ages in Europe and the Middle East. A good book on economic history that could aid worldbuilders of fantasy in that milieu is Before European Hegemony by Janet Abu-Lughod. I wrote a review/summary here: http://registeroffollies.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/review-before-european-hegemony/
Also worth noting is that paper money is pretty old too: localities in Tang China were printing it back in the 600s. The inspiration were merchant receipts... a form of credit as part of a finance system.

"I should look up exactly how inflation occurs too."
Inflation is best understood by thinking of money as a commodity, subject to supply and demand like any other. When there are lots of apples, the amount of money needed to exchange for an apple goes down. When there is lots of money, the amount of apples needed to exchange for a unit of currency goes down, i.e., prices in general go up. This happens when a large influx of whatever is used as money enters an economy. Loren gave an example of how this works in bullion (i.e. precious metal) money systems: someone discovers/extracts/steals a whole lot of precious metals, and suddenly there's so many coins that can be minted that money is no longer "scarce" enough to justify previous prices. In fiat money systems (i.e., paper money backed by the credit of a national government), inflation can occur when the government prints money, as part of some kind of monetary stimulus policy maybe. Since paper money is backed by the country's credit-worthiness, I think inflation also occurs when the country's credit goes down, since its money is perceived as less stable/valuable and so more is needed to buy things. The natural rate of growth in an economy can also cause inflation since people take out loans to finance businesses, and fractional reserve banking allows banks to basically print more money than they actually hold as capital stock.

Also to follow up my first reply, two examples of credit money that people in olden tymes could carry around are tally sticks and letters of credit. The second is basically a check, the first needs a little elaboration but is pretty cool:

Thanx for explaining, JH. Inflation can also happen when demand outruns supply and everybody tries offering more money to get what's available. Think of ticket scalping.
As to variations on economics, small-scale societies often have "gift economies", where one can get status by giving a lot away. Think of people who throw lavish parties for each other in present-day society.
That does not work very well outside of people who know each other well, and barter has its limitations also: how much of A is worth how much of B and how much of each worth how much of C? So even "primitive" people end up turning certain items into money, like seashells. More recent such items are rum (early modern colonies) and cigarettes (some prison camps).
So one could think of other items that could get used as money.
Precious-metal coins may not seem vulnerable to inflation, but leaders have been known to debase their coinage, shrinking the coins or mixing in cheaper metals. The Roman Empre in the 3rd century CE was especially bad at that (Roman Currency of the Principate), as much as a factor of 10.

This would be a severe problem for me if I was a fantasy character, seeing as how I can't stand to touch metal. (weird personal quirk)

Jordan : That was fascinating. Paper money in the 600s... I definitely need to do more research. Though it should have occurred to me that credit wasn't so uncommon even way back then - the Brotherhood without Banners passed out "credit slips" in A Song of Ice and Fire, so obviously the concept isn't new.
Thanks also for explaining how inflation works. I never thought of money and goods as being in a balance.
Colby : That's a very interesting quirk. :) Reminds me of how elves couldn't stand to touch iron.

Mauritania: Risk Assessment
Country Risk Rating
Business Climate Rating
- Supported by donors and international organizations
- Rich in minerals and fisheries resources
- Energy potential (gas, renewables)
- Persistent political and security instability
- Poorly diversified economy, vulnerable to commodity price fluctuations
- Growth not very inclusive with high unemployment, especially among young people
- Limited formal economy
Current Trends
The End to Ambitions for the Oil Industry is Hampering the Recovery
Hard hit by the drop in mineral prices in 2014, the economy, sustained by the fishing and construction sectors, confirmed its recovery in 2017. Nevertheless, growth is expected to stall in 2018, curbed by the ceasing of production at the Chinguetti oil field. After almost ten years of oil production, the persistent lack of profitability at the site for operators has finally put paid to this only offshore field in production. Elsewhere, the extractive industries are expected to confirm, in 2018, the modest progress made in 2017. Iron production is set to continue to increase, while gold production will receive a boost from the expansion of the Tasiast mine. The Tijirit gold mine projects and the Ahmeyim and Guembeul offshore gas fields, on the border with Senegal, continue to offer favorable longer-term prospects for the extractive industries. In addition, activity in the secondary sector is expected to continue its recovery, buoyed by public investment which will mainly benefit the manufacturing and construction industries. The drive to develop fishing and agriculture, in order to diversify the economy, should manifest via growth in the primary sector. The services sector should remain firm, particularly thanks to transport and telecommunications activity. The depreciation of the ouguiya is likely, however, to affect prices, more especially those of basic foodstuffs, thus penalizing trade.
External Imbalances Persist Despite Efforts to Improve Them
Improved mobilization of tax revenues and control of expenditure have made it possible to almost completely eliminate the fiscal imbalances triggered by the collapse in commodity prices. Close to equilibrium in 2017, the fiscal balance is, however, expected to go back into deficit in 2018 because of increased public investment aimed at supporting growth. Constrained by the explosion in the external borrowing ratios following the shock to the trade terms and the depreciation of the ouguiya, the authorities will therefore attempt to contain current spending, especially since income is unlikely to rise much in 2018, despite the reforms undertaken, as they are still limited by weak revenues from the extractive industries.
In contrast, the current account deficit is expected to be lower in 2018 thanks to a reduced trade deficit. Income from exports of gold and fish products will make a positive contribution. Driven by spending linked to the public investment program, imports are, nonetheless, expected to remain stable, thanks to the fall in imports of capital goods destined for the extractive industries. Showing deficits, the balance of services and of income is unlikely to change much in 2018. The balance of transfers surplus is also expected to be maintained. Despite a less significant deficit, the external accounts imbalance continues. These accounts remain vulnerable, therefore, to a new shock. The official foreign exchange reserves, estimated at four months of imports (excluding the oil and mining industries), will, therefore, remain under pressure and are expected to continue to fall in 2018.
Tense Political Climate
The executive, represented by President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, re-elected for five years in 2014, after gaining power following a coup d'état in 2008, is expected to emerge from 2017 stronger than before, at the cost of a very tense political climate. The President's use of a referendum to push through constitutional reform, initially rejected by the Parliament, is apparently weakening the institutions even further, at a time when they are far from being well-established. Boycotted by the opposition, the August 2017 elections were tarnished by accusations that the voter turnout figures had been manipulated. An ugly campaign, at times marred by violence, deepened the identity, community, social and economic divisions of Mauritanian society. Aiming, in particular, to change the Mauritanian national anthem and flag, in order to pander to nationalist passions, this referendum had, above all, the power to abolish the Senate and replace it with regional councils and a High Council for Fatwa. Despite the president's denials, the opposition sees this referendum as a move to enable Abdel Aziz to stand for a third term in 2019. A few days after the election, the arrest, irrespective of procedures, of one of the main opponents of constitutional reform, Mohamed Ould Ghadda, supports the hypothesis of a shift to authoritarian rule. The risk of political and social unrest cannot, therefore, be ruled out in a country still ravaged by poverty, unemployment, and inequalities. In addition, slavery, though abolished is still a scourge: the 2016 Global Slavery Index stated that over 43,000 people (1% of the population) were affected by slavery. President Aziz also faces persistent rumors of complacency with regard to certain Islamist groups such as Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQMI), symbolized by the declassification of documents attributed to Osama Bin Laden, showing evidence of a non-aggression pact signed in 2010 between the Jihadists and the Mauritanian government. Although spared from terrorism since 2011, Mauritania, like other members of the "G5 du Sahel", remains exposed to the terrorist threat, given the porous nature of the border with Mali.
The country is continuing its efforts and progress on improving the business climate with the aim of attracting foreign investment.
