The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) says about half of the full-body scanners at U.S. airports will receive new software that does not show a specific image of the person in a scanner.
TSA Administrator John S. Pistole said the new software will be installed on the millimeter wave "advanced imaging technology" (AIT) machines that eliminate passenger-specific images thereby enhancing passenger privacy.
The new software, also referred to as "automated target recognition" (ATR), will still detect items that could pose a potential threat, but it will create a generic outline of a person for all passengers. By eliminating the image of an actual passenger and replacing it with a generic outline of a person, passengers are able to view the same outline that the TSA officer sees. It also eliminates the need for a separate TSA officer to view the image in a remotely located viewing room.
The TSA's "top priority is the safety of the traveling public, and TSA constantly strives to explore and implement new technologies that enhance security and strengthen privacy protections for the traveling public," Pistole said. "This software upgrade enables us to continue providing a high level of security through advanced imaging technology screening, while improving the passenger experience at checkpoints."
Of the 488 full-body scanners in airports nationwide, 241 are millimeter-wave and 247 are backscatter, which use low-level radiation beams to create an image of the body. The TSA says it plans to test the software on backscatter scanners in the fall.
On July 15, a U.S. appeals court upheld the TSA's use of the scanners, but added the agency should have sought public comment before installing them at airports.

My Columns – Crystal Balls and General Elections
Political anoraks are going to love 2015, the most unpredictable election campaign in a generation. It's been at least 23 years since we last had a General Election campaign as difficult to predict as this one.
In 1992, the Conservative Party had deposed Margaret Thatcher as leader. An insipid John Major faced the unelectable Neil Kinnock, but opinion polls suggested that it would be touch and go. Opinion polls in 1992 lacked the sophistication of today's polling, not realising (for example) the fact that Labour voters were more likely to answer the phone than Conservative voters. So the Conservatives outperformed the polls, gained a narrow overall majority and saw their next government racked by scandals that would keep them out of power for 13 years.
1992 was competitive, but lacked the complexity of what is to come in 2015. There are many unknowns, and few of them relate to the Labour and Conservative parties. Neither is riding high in the opinion polls, neither has shown signs of sweeping the nation at Parliamentary by-elections, Council and European elections. Indeed, it is the other parties which could lead to some interesting results:

"I used to get on at the same bus stop and ride the same bus with her every morning in Seattle. Eclipse owner detested all the publicity she gets, however he understood." She would sometime get on the bus without him paying attention then she would to get off at the dog park and he would meet her there, a very cool dog.
While we do not tolerate allowing dogs to travel freely – because who knows what can happen to them – Eclipse and her bus pass certainly are cute.

Tai Pei entrees are a new dinner staple in my home. My husband and I love eating Asian food and Tai Pei makes it so easy. You simply pull one of their delicious single serve entrees from the freezer, microwave, and voila! Dinner is served! The packaging is convenient, simple, and the heating instructions are easy to follow.
Nothing makes me happier than being able to knock a restaurant off of my foodie bucket list, especially when the restaurant is in another city. As soon as plans for Comp Camp Houston were finalized, I knew that there was no way I could leave without making a visit to Peli Peli Kitchen or Peli Peli.
I love visiting San Antonio. Aside from sightseeing and enjoying the Riverwalk, I love the variety of great restaurants the city offers. Before heading off for a visit, a friend recommended that I try Boudro's Texas Bistro. My hubby and I visited for an afternoon lunch.
As soon as I heard about Red Lobster Crabfest, I scheduled a visit. CrabFest is the ultimate celebration of everything crab and is back at Red Lobster for a limited-time! During CrabFest, you can enjoy classic Red Lobster classic crab entrees. They even have five brand new entrees available for guests this year. Entrees on the CrabFest menu include:
I am so excited about Your Pie Pizza in Frisco, Texas! This restaurant is right in my neighborhood and I plan on visiting often. If you're in the mood for quick, delicious, pizza then keep on reading!
'I have a new favorite restaurant in Dallas. Before I go into detail, I must remind you that 'favorite' is not a word I use frequently. However, Tricky-Fish is a restaurant that I just can't get enough of. I'm constantly looking for excuses to drive over to City-Line DFW or schedule lunch dates at the restaurant just so I can get my fix.
During my weekend trip to Austin, I wanted to take a stab at exploring the Austin food truck scene. Instead of relying on recommendations, I took matters into my own hands and booked the Best of Austin Food Trucks Tour with Austin Eats Food Tours. The tour promised to take us around to some of Austin's best food truck stops while riding around in an executive bus. I had never been on a food tour, so I was extremely intrigued with the concept.
Oklahoma City probably isn't the first city that comes to mind when you think of seafood. The Drake has completely changed my perception.
There are many things I love in life, and brunch is one of them. I love eating brunch on the weekends but especially when I travel. During my stay at the 21C Museum Hotel in OKC, I visited Mary Eddy's Kitchen + Lounge before heading back home. Even if you aren't staying at the hotel, this restaurant is a must-visit for so many reasons. The number one reason why is in this picture below.
I love a great Southern meal. During my visit to Oklahoma City, I heard about Cheever's Cafe. Cheever's is well-known for their sophisticated Southern favorites and their popular Chicken Fried Steak. My husband and I chose to visit the restaurant for a late Saturday afternoon brunch.
Over the weekend, my hubby and I headed up to Oklahoma City to check out the local food scene. Before I head out on trips, I do research to see what the popular dining spots are. When I found out that Waffle Champion was known for their waffle sandwiches, I knew I had to visit. Seriously, take a second to wrap your brain around the concept of a waffle sandwich. It's mind boggling! Waffle Champion is the undisputed waffle champ of OKC. There's usually a line but the wait is well worth it.
Phoenix, Arizona a.k.a "The Valley of the Sun" is known for a lot more than just sunny skies. It's a great place to relax, sight-see, and get some good eats! Check out my recommendations below of 3 affordable and fantastic restaurants you need to visit during your next visit.
You can't visit New Orleans without eating seafood. During my visit, I had the pleasure of visiting Remoulade. The restaurant is conveniently located on Bourbon St, is extremely family-friendly.
I've been struggling to capture the right words to explain my dining experience at Willie Mae's. There's a reason why notable individuals such as Anthony Bourdain and President Barack Obama have visited this iconic restaurant on Saint Ann.
Brunch is serious business. Before the weekend even hits, I'm already thinking about where I'm going to eat brunch. I recently visited Hash House A Go Go's Plano location and was not disappointed. If you're serious about breakfast or brunch then you must add this restaurant to your list.
You can't visit New Orleans without trying some of the local favorites! Gumbo was one of the main items on my New Orleans culinary to-do list. I was super excited when a fellow Blogger recommended that I visit the Gumbo Shop. Thanks @jessietaylortravels!
I've had enough of this brutal Summer heat. I'm at a point where bottled water no longer tastes refreshing but feels like a necessity in order to survive. The heat has put me on a quest to find beverages that not only quench my thirst but taste satisfying as they go down. My quest has led me to a winner...Magic Cup Cafe in Richardson, Texas.
Get ready Dallas...Loco is coming! That's right the nation's leading fire-grilled chicken restaurant chain plans to open a total of 20-30 restaurants in the DFW market by the end of 2019. The first two locations will open in early September.
I had the pleasure of sampling items from the new DFW Tasting Menu in honor of El Pollo Loco's DFW expansion. I am incredibly excited about their multitude of tasty menu offerings. Here's a rundown of what you can expect.
Very rarely will I visit a restaurant twice in one week. In order for me to do so, the food has to be amazing. Recently, I attended a media dinner for Street's Fine Chicken. I was in awe over the dishes that I tried. I returned home with a to-go container filled with leftovers for my husband. He was also in awe and recommended that we visit the restaurant over the weekend. By the time Saturday rolled around we were both eager to visit Street's.
Last month, I needed to grab a bite to eat before my return trip home from Cancun, Mexico. My husband and I had a few hours before our outgoing flight and found many options in the Cancun International Airport.
Summer is finally here! I'm always down for finding tasty ways to beat the heat. Andy's Frozen Custard is definitely one of them.
Earlier this month, I flew into Boston to celebrate my college graduation. Attending my graduation was my main mission. However, I had a secondary mission in mind that was equally as important. It was a very simple mission, and one that I knew I would regret if I didn't complete it. At this point you're probably thinking that I should just get to the point and explain what the mission was.
I write this review with an incredibly guilty conscience. For the past 4 days I've been on a mission to bring sexy back. I will be going on vacation in less than 14 days and have embarked on a 10 day cleanse. I've been eating clean and working out super hard. Unfortunately, I gave into my foodie desires at a media dinner for the opening of Dugg Burger's new Plano location. Shame on me right? I did take a super long run afterwards in an effort to justify my bad behavior.
Last night, I had the pleasure of attending Hutchins BBQ James Beard Dinner. Hutchins BBQ is heading to New York next month to cook at the James Beard House, which is kinda like a big deal! Luckily for me, Hutchins BBQ decided to give Dallas locals a chance to try the menu before it goes on the road.

Swimwear Bottom
The key to buying the right swimwear bottom is to take into account what will look best on you and what part of your body you most want to accentuate. Different cuts will fit differently depending on how you are built, and getting the right one is important when putting together a new swimwear style. In general, a swimsuit should never cut into your skin or feel restrictive or binding in any way. The pieces should lay comfortably against your skin.
If you have played it safe all these years with a swimwear bottom that provides more than enough coverage, consider stepping out of your safety zone and opting for a little less fabric. A bottom such as the one seen here is a cross between a thong and a Brazilian bottom. It has a basic Brazilian shape, but has a curved cut to the backside that follows the contour of the cheeks and it also narrows into a thong at the bottom. This style is great for those of you who want to show off your sexy butt and hips, and also really shake things up your next vacation or trip to the beach.
For a flattering full coverage look, instead of going for the usual bottom that stretches flatly across the back, choose a style that has puckered stitching. The puckered or ruched stitching allows the backside to hug your cheeks which creates a nice contoured look in the back. A style like this is just as sexy as a thong or a Brazilian, and the fact that you feel comfortable in it will make it even more attractive.
Confidence is key to looking great in any style swimwear bottom so take care to pick one that not only looks great on you but also makes you feel great, too.

President Donald Trump earned criticism and questions after last night's surprise firing of FBI Director James Comey. Republican reactions were more mixed than those coming from political commentators and Democrats, but still included calls for an independent investigation.
John McCain used the occasion to continue his calls for a special prosecutor. "While the President has the legal authority to remove the Director of the FBI, I am disappointed in the President's decision to remove James Comey from office. James Comey is a man of honor and integrity, and he has led the FBI well in extraordinary circumstances," said McCain. "I have long called for a special congressional committee to investigate Russia's interference in the 2016 election. The president's decision to remove the FBI Director only confirms the need and the urgency of such a committee."
Likewise, Richard Burr expressed concern about the president's action and lauded Comey. "I am troubled by the timing and reasoning of Director Comey's termination," said the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
In my interactions w/ the Director and w/ the Bureau under his leadership, he & the FBI have always been straightforward with our Committee.
— Richard Burr (@SenatorBurr) May 9, 2017
Representative Carlos Curbelo said, "Today's extraordinary decision raises many questions all of which must be answered. Congress and the American people need a transparent explanation as to how this decision was reached and why it was executed at this time. It is critical that the FBI can continue all of its pending work with independence and integrity – especially the investigation into the Russian government's efforts to influence our last election and undermine American democracy. Today I reiterate the need for Congress to establish a Select Committee with full investigatory powers to thoroughly examine this matter."

The last few weeks have seen a crescendo of revelations about Oxfam. Since the Sunday Times broke the story that Oxfam personnel had engaged prostitutes during the earthquake rescue operations in Haiti, the charity found itself fronting a scandal of still unknown proportions.
The former Hong Kong home secretary indicted in the United States for allegedly bribing Africa officials on behalf of a Chinese energy company set up an anti-corruption NGO in Hong Kong last year.
The Chinese energy company that U.S. prosecutors say benefited from millions of dollars in bribes allegedly paid to officials in Africa has denied that it was involved in any way with the corruption.
Shell companies have been called the "getaway cars" of corruption. In some jurisdictions, including the United States, individuals can easily set up anonymous companies and use them to hide stolen funds.
The son of a former Prime Minister of Gabon pleaded guilty in federal court Friday to conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by bribing government officials in Africa.
Over the years, we've looked at the correlation between corruption and personal security, air safety, environmental degradation, risks of war, national debt problems, and general personal misery. Now let's look at corruption and road safety.
The UK High Court upheld a forfeiture order sought by the Serious Fraud Office at the request of U.S. authorities against $6.8 million linked to the sale of shares in a Canadian energy company.
On October 26, 2009 I sat in the N'Djamena airport in Chad looking over my notes from a field visit I took to study the development effects of the oil pipeline in Southern Chad. A gentleman, also a foreigner to Chad who was on my flight to Paris, struck up a conversation with me.
The DOJ filed a complaint Tuesday for the civil forfeiture of $34 million -- the value of shares in a Canadian energy company used to bribe Chad's former ambassador to the United States and Canada to influence the award of oil development rights.
The Justice Department filed a civil forfeiture complaint seeking $106,488.31 allegedly traceable to a $2 million bribe by a Canadian energy company to Chad's former ambassador to the United States and Canada and his wife.
As the G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group meets in 2014 under the chairmanship of Australia, it is important that the countries make progress on their commitments detailed in the 2013-2014 G20 Anti-Corruption Action Plan.

The classic clawfoot bathtub will never go out of style. If you own one, do not get rid of it, instead, try to refinish it and it will end up looking as good as new. As against common misconception, refinishing a clawfoot bathtub will not take up a lot of time. We help you refinish the classic and elegant bathtub for your home.
Everything you will need
In order to successfully refinish the bathtub, you will need sandpaper, crescent wrench, screwdriver, palm sander, bags, pressure sprayer, chemical resistant gloves, and mask and plastic bags. Additionally, you will be required to purchase certain materials from the market which include primer, hoses, tape, a bonding agent, putty, degreaser, paint stripper and pliers with a channeled lock.
Follow the steps to refinish a clawfoot bathtub
If you want to learn how to refinish a clawfoot bathtub, here are a few simple and easy to follow steps for you.
- The first and foremost step is to remove the tub. This will need a lot of physical effort since the tubs are known to be heavy. Shut off the flow of water and disconnect the water lines. Once the tub is removed, place it in a vented area since you will be working with chemicals on it.
- Now, make sure you have the entire work area covered with drop cloths in order to protect it from the chemicals. Use a paint stripper and get the latex off the tub. Depending on the paint used in the tub, you might have to apply a lot of stripping agent.
- Now is the time to clean the tub. Use a strong cleaner like lacquer thinner or methylene chloride to remove any remnants of the paint. After this, rinse the tub with water and get rid of the chemicals and water in a safe manner.
- You can finally degrease the whole tub now. Add some water and pour a degreaser which will help clean the drain and get rid of all the dirt which has been built up over the years. Spray the adhesive on the tub now and cover those areas which you will not be repainting.
- For the next step, apply the primer to the tub using a paint spray gun. The process will be easier and faster for you. It is ideal to do three coats on the inside and the outside.
- For finishing the process, add a finishing coat of paint with the use of a sprayer. Again apply three or four coats of the final paint and wait for 15 minutes between each coat.
- Once done, you can shift the tub back to the bathroom and get the drain pipe in the water line.
With these simple and easy to do steps, you can refinish your clawfoot bathtub by yourself. You do not need to call for a professional or get rid of the tub. After refinishing, the tub will look as good as new.

We're always on the lookout for new wedding ideas to tell you about. In the last few days we've been watching some reports on wedding trends closely and here's what you need to know.
By the way, these are international wedding trends, not just ones hitting the UK so there is masses of new inspiration for you to be thinking about… We also cover trends that are really, really over and so you probably won't want to go there!
We're not just talking wedding décor either. These trends cover the dresses brides are likely to be wearing, their bridesmaids' dresses, the choice of flowers, the food guests are going to be eating and the style of wedding that is having a bit of a moment.
Giving your guests a warm feeling
You have probably heard about the Scandinavian concept of Hygge (pronounced 'hoo-gar'). It's all about creating a place of sanctuary and cosiness, so welcoming your guests to your wedding. This is done with candles, greenery, foliage, soft welcoming colours and fabrics. This isn't a new trend but it is making its way in to weddings!
Embracing imperfection
Now this is a new one. It's the Japanese idea of 'Wabi-sabi', an ancient philosophy which finds beauty in imperfection. For this, décor is pared down to a minimum and colours kept to muted tones. Everything on show needs to look pre-loved and used so mismatched crockery, tables that look as though they have hosted hundreds of meals over the years, maybe your grandmother's table linens! This isn't a look for anything new and shiny. Maybe time to dig out some family heirlooms?
Metallics and colours
The shiny stuff that's trending right now is brass. But trend watchers say that silver is about to make a comeback… So now you know.
Love powdery pinks and millennial pinks? Okay, but forecasters say that they're going to start looking very dated by the end of 2018. So if you're getting married in 2019 or 2020 you might want to steer away from that type of colour scheme.
On the other hand, lavender looks set to take its place, with designers like Victoria Beckham and Michael Kors featuring it in their collections. Think about it for suits and accent colours.
Florals are going to give way to black and white polka-dots. They're going to be everywhere!
Digital detoxes and mindfulness
Stepping away from our smart phones and technology, another new trend on the way in is Earthen Luxury. It's all about reconnecting with Nature and having a simpler style of life. Think well-being, organic fabrics, and artisan handicrafts. Colours are earth tones and dark woods like walnut and rosewood. It's definitely not a blond, Scandi style!
What will you be wearing?
Bold Psycho-Tropical. Yes, it's a trend! Think vivid colours, acid lime and ultra violet. Flowers are likely to be lush botanicals, both on tables and overhead. We're thinking hot house flowers like orchids, bougainvillea, hibiscus…
Fringing is also going to make its presence felt which could look wonderful on bridesmaids' dresses, on tablecloths, on shawls.
Feathers are also going to be big. They're so versatile, as they can be used on everything from table décor to cake decorations, on shoes as a trim, on a wrap or shrug, or in place of flowers as table centres. You can use feathers on your wedding invitations too.
Iridescent feathers are going to be key, which is when they seem to be different colours from different angles.
Down Under
In Australia, it's all about Barefoot Glamour, an update of boho style. This look uses high end fabrics and metallics, think coastal meets luxury. Think richness on the beach not a swaggering boast but more a low key, luxurious whisper by candlelight.
Back to black
White on white and white with black accents is also something you're going to be noticing. Also black. This translates as brides with black belts around their wedding gowns or their bridesmaids rocking a similar look. Maybe a white wedding cake decorated with black detailing, black candles, black napkins etc.
But it's not all black, it's accents of black.
Other colours to look out for are aubergine, emerald greens, white with greenery, magenta paired with softer pinks and purples. It's all about moodiness.
Blush pink is still a colour right now. Pastel tones, soft linens and metallics work well with it. Velvet is a massive wedding fabric too.
Have a think about these wedding trends and what would work for you. Enjoy your wedding planning!

Don Draper (Jon Hamm) is amazing. "Mad Men" Episode 8 was amazing. Don't believe me? Perhaps Tim Goodman: The Basterd Machine can convince you.
The University of Iowa is where I received my undergrad. The Hawkeyes are my team. It looks like I am not alone. By the way, the Hawks are also going to make a run at the BCS Championship game after they beat everyone else in the Big Ten.
Speaking of people who graduated from the University of Iowa. Please give this man and his band some love. Favorite Shape Triangle is trying to make a name for themselves in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Make it happen.
Finally, I will leave the final link up to you ... a worm in a woman's eye. Have a great weekend.

2018 SGS Convention Day 3 Report
Note: Click any photo below to enlarge to its full size.
Our convention meeting room opened at 9am sharp on Friday. We were all anxious to see the auction glass, which included quite a bit of stretch glass. Later in the morning, Cal Hackeman presented a seminar on how to tell look-a-likes and similar colors from each other. During the seminar we examined plates, candleholders, vases, and other shapes of stretch glass which were made in similar forms by multiple companies and/or were made in similar forms in both the early and late periods of stretch glass production. We also looked at examples of stretch glass in colors which are quite similar and may be mistaken for other colors.
Cal talked about how to ID a piece of stretch glass. He suggested starting with the color of the stretch glass. If the item in question is a color which is unique to a particular company, then the maker of the item is easily identified. Examples are Russet, Jade Blue, White Opaque (only made by Northwood) or Tangerine (only made by Fenton) or the US Opaque colors, which are unique to US Glass.
If the color is not definitive, that is to say the color was made by more than one stretch glass producer, then next consider the shape: is the shape unique to one company? There are many shapes which are unique to a particular company and therefore a positive ID can be achieved. Examples are most colognes, powder puffs and related items, which were only made by Fenton. Ashtrays and smoking-related items are uniquely shaped according to the company producing the item even though at least 3 companies produced a form of an ashtray (Fenton, Northwood and US Glass). Unique shapes are quite prevalent among stretch glass and are very useful for ID'ing stretch glass. Finally we are left with the items which are somewhat or appear to be exactly the same shape and are known to be made by more than one producer. These include candy jars, plates and some bowls. Cal helped us learn how to examine these items for particular mold seams and other identifying characteristics leading to a correct ID of the company which produced the item.
Later in the seminar Cal helped us look at items which appear to be similar but were produced in the early and late periods. The Fenton Ruby Twin Dolphin square comport is such an item which has caused much confusion in the market because many of the late period comports are not marked with the Fenton logo. When one has the benefit of comparing the early and late period comports side-by-side, there is no difficulty determining which is from the early period and which is from the late period. The colors are different (the late period is usually a darker ruby), the thickness of the foot is different (the early period pieces have a thicker foot and the underside of the foot is different from the form in the late period). Twin dolphin fan vases exhibit the same ID'ing characteristics in the foot since they were made from the same mold.
All in all, more than 60 pieces of stretch glass were examined, compared and identified.
Lunch was hosted by John and Vickie Rowe and was enjoyed by all. Our Annual Meeting followed immediately after lunch. The minutes of this meeting will be published in the September issue of The Stretch Glass Society Quarterly. Among the actions taken by the members were the following:
- Annual dues will remain unchanged for 2019.
- Stephanie Bennett was re-elected as Secretary and Jim Steinbach was re-elected as Treasurer to serve a 2-year term. Jonathan Fuhrman and Gary Senkar were elected to be Directors.
- We thanked Mike Getichus and Sarah Plummer for their service as Directors and presented each of them with a gift of stretch glass appropriately engraved to commemorate their service.
- The Officers and Directors present updated the membership on significant activities which have been undertaken to further the promotion and preservation of stretch glass, in accordance with our stated purpose and also mentioned upcoming activities to continue the same.
- A President's Award was presented to Mary Elda Arrington in recognition of her efforts in organizing our Stretch Out Discussion Calls and initiating the Deluxe Edition Reviews of our discussions.
At the end of the luncheon, the winning tickets were drawn in our fundraiser and the winners were: Bob Henkel, Arna Simpson and Dennis Groome. Each winner received a piece of stretch glass, as previously advertised.
In the afternoon, Bob Henkel presented a seminar on how to arrange flowers in stretch glass. Bob had made nine floral arrangements for our banquet tables on Thursday evening and he prepared another arrangement, pointing out the do's and don't's of successful floral arranging. The arrangement completed during the seminar was magnificent and serves as an example to all of us of how beautiful flowers are when they are arranged in stretch glass.
With Bob's seminar complete, we turned our attention to the glass to be sold in the Burns Auction, which began at 5pm. Tom and Debra sold nearly 500 lots of glass, including stretch glass, Fenton glass, Dugan frit vases, Imperial freehand, and more during the next several hours while members packed up their displays and 'tear down' proceeded in the background. By around midnight, the room was bare of stretch glass and the 2018 Stretch Glass Society Convention and Show was but a memory.
If you were unable to join us this year, we hope you will make plans to be with us next year for the 45th Annual Stretch Glass Convention and Show.

Applied Geoscience (Geoenergy) MSc
Awards: MSc
Study modes: Full-time, Part-time
Funding opportunities
Programme website: Applied Geoscience (Geoenergy)
This MSc is aimed at students who wish to pursue a geosciences-related career in the future energy sector, as it transitions from fossil fuels to a low carbon economy. The aim is to offer a programme that uses subsurface (geological) knowledge opening a diverse range of career pathways in lower carbon geoenergy technologies; the disposal of energy-related wastes and the hydrocarbon industry.
This MSc programme builds on the strength and reputation of the research groups operating in the School of GeoSciences on uses of the subsurface: carbon capture and storage (CCS); radioactive waste disposal; energy storage and extraction; unconventional and conventional hydrocarbons; wet and dry geothermal heat; and subsurface fluid tracing using noble gases and stable isotopes.
This MSc differs from competitors in the coverage of a wide variety of energy topics, from a subsurface perspective. There are many masters programmes covering, for example, petroleum geology and engineering, but the job market in this industry is volatile due to large fluctuations in the price of oil. By covering a wider range of energy topics, we provide for more varied career paths. In addition, many graduates do not wish to work for the hydrocarbon industry, given the contribution of fossil fuel emissions to global warming. We cover topics that help to counter climate change by reducing CO2 emissions, including carbon capture and storage (CCS); and energy storage to enable a large proportion of renewable generation in an energy portfolio.

Dissertation projects require a wide range of facilities. Some need little more than access to the University Library or a computer. However, we also have a range of specialist software that can be used by students:
Petrel: industry-standard seismic interpretation - kindly donated by Schlumberger.
PetroMod: basin-modelling - kindly donated by Schlumberger.
Permedia Suite: fluid flow modelling - kindly donated by Haliburton.
Move: subsurface data integration, cross-section construction and 3D model building - kindly donated by Midland Valley.
RokDoc: rock physics modelling from wireline log and pressure data - kindly donated by Ikon Science.
OpenGeoSys: an academic code for simulation of thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) processes in porous and fractured media
Eclipse: industry-standard subsurface fluid flow modelling - kindly donated by Schlumberger.
For more practical projects, the School of GeoSciences has a wide variety of analytical equipment that is available for use during the dissertation phase of the Msc.
- Thin-sections and microscopes (transmission; reflection; UV; cathodo-luminescence; fluid inclusion) for petrography – a core technique for many rock-based projects.
- Scanning Electron Microscope: we have a a new Carl Zeiss SIGMA HD VP Field Emission SEM and Oxford AZtec ED X-ray analysis and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) system. Good for detailed petrography of sandstones and limestones.
- ICP Analysis: Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. We have used this for projects involving the reaction of CO2 with reservoir rocks, for example.
- Stable Isotope Mass Spectrometry: The facility now has two gas source isotope ratio mass spectrometers with automatic carbonate preparation systems. Often used for characterising calcite cements in reservoirs or seal rocks.
- XRF Facility: The instrument may be used for qualitative or quantitative analysis of geological materials.
- X-ray Diffraction: this provides the mineralogical composition of a sample.
- Chemical Analysis: we can conduct a wide range of traditional chemical analysis, for example the determination of inorganic carbonate content in a sample.
- Electron microprobe: we have a world-class Cameca SX100 instrument

This programme will train students in the use of subsurface geological knowledge opening a diverse range of career pathways in lower carbon geoenergy technologies and the disposal of energy-related wastes. These include radioactive waste disposal; carbon capture and storage; geothermal energy and subsurface energy storage including compressed air energy storage.
Other pathways include working in environmental and regulatory aspects of energy storage involving potential pollution; tracking subsurface fluids in the event of leakage from subsurface facilities and ground water resources.
Mark Wilkinson (programme director)
My main research interests are in geological CO2 storage including studying natural analogues (rocks with natural CO2 in them), to tell us what will happen to the CO2 when it is injected into a rock. I recently worked on what to do if a leak develops (which it probably won't), and have modelled monitoring schemes for CO2 storage sites so we can detect leakage easily and cheaply.
I also study diagenesis, or what happens to sediments as they are buried and turn into rocks. In practice, I study reservoirs, for oil / gas, CO2 storage, or water supply. I'm particularly interested in if sandstones and shales interact during burial. In other words, do solutes (e.g. K, Al, Si) move from sands into shales or vice-versa?
And I've worked on energy storage (Compressed Air Energy Storage and hydrogen storage), to answer the question, can we save energy from renewables for peak demand times?
I'm the Programme Director of the MSc in GeoEnergy, i.e. I designed the course (with a lot of help from my friends...), I teach some of it, and I'm the first point of contact for students on the course.
Field Geology
I'm lucky that I teach on several field trips, all visiting areas of interest. The nearest is Arthur's Seat in central Edinburgh, you can't get much closer to the University than that! I also help with our residential trip to the Lake District for 1st year students, and a 3rd year excursion to Helmsdale, NE Scotland, to study the type of rocks you only normally find deeply buried below the North Sea, and quite similar to those the UK extracts oil and gas from.
Stuart Gilfillan (assistant programme director)
My core research interest is in fingerprinting carbon dioxide in order to track its movement and means of storage in subsurface reservoirs, as part of efforts to develop carbon capture and storage technologies. More recently, I have been applying this knowledge to the environmental monitoring of unconventional gas extraction, geothermal energy production and understanding the connectivity of hydrocarbon reservoirs. I have been working on the measurement of geochemical fingerprints in shale gas sources in the UK since 2012 and have a keen interest in all areas of utilising the subsurface for energy production or storage.
I'm the deputy programme director for the GeoEnergy MSc and am also the course organiser for the Future GeoEnergy Resources course. I also teach a variety of undergraduate courses from introductory geological map interpretation to first years, to the Geological Evolution of the British Isles to the fourth years.
Field work
I teach on several field trips, including the world famous Siccar point in East Lothian, the stunning Assynt area of the NW Highlands and the hot and dusty region of Almeria in Spain. In addition, I'm lucky enough to have had the chance to work at a range of CCS test sites all around the world, in a variety of countries including Australia, Canada, Iceland, Italy and the USA.
A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in a science or engineering subject. We will also take any relevant professional experience into account where appropriate. Evidence of mathematical ability is required for the less numerate degrees (e.g. geology). The equivalent of a National 5 or GSCE in Mathematics at grade B. Prospective students should be aware that basic calculus is required for one of the courses.

Sinus Rinse by NealMed Pharmaceuticals, why do I love thee? Is it because your gentle, positive pressure flow blasts through my ridiculously narrow nostrils to bathe the nether regions of my cavities in soothing, warm saline solution? Is it because you named your nasal douche after your son, whom I am sure will never be teased about it in high school? Is it because you got me through last allergy season without needing even one round of antibiotics? Yes, it is all of these.
But my secret reason for loving you is that I am a copywriter, and I LOVE how you cover every square centimeter of every product and its packaging with WORDS.
Copywriters know, give an art director or designer three words and she'll ask, "do you think we can cut copy some?" Words are just ugly white-space stealers. Refreshingly, this view does not attain at NealMed.
It's like some throwback to a less sophisticated time. Kinda reminds me of a Dr. Bronner's label. But Dr. Mehta don't preach, unless it's preaching about the need to douche those sinuses safely, or preaching the good word about other fine products available for your nasal douching needs. Admire:

On the physical universe level this phenomenon could be understood by dealing with the rapidity surrounding the progressional shifting of information by the controlling forces dictating western culture. Every week there is a new spectical on display, and all of us are constantly bombarded with what music to buy, what art is 'in' - what fashions are correct - what music is the best, etc., etc. In the time zone of a given year many of us would be shocked to discover how many specticals we have gone through - either with regards to creativity; or more important, how the controlling forces of American culture would have us perceive creativity. We are constan tly forced to keep up with both the changing social jargon related to how given creative thrusts are perceived as well as the effect of what that jargon helps create in vibrationaltory terms - with regards to actual physical universe life. It does not matter whether the spectical involves 'op-art' or the emergence of what is now called 'funky' music, because in the final analysis the thrust continuum of creativity is constantly changing, and it would be to our advantage to have some understanding of what this means. -ab

Had fun hanging out with David and Niki last night. We watched TV, had some mac n cheese. The Osbournes was excellent, as always. It was all very relaxing in general.
My tummy got upset last night and it kept me awake. So I'm kind of moving in slow-motion today.
I think I'm going to skip work tomorrow to get some serious packing done. The move starts at 7am Saturday morning.
That reminds me, I have some more phone calls to make.

RFL Training Plan: Leadership Under Pressure
Just a few short months ago I was in your shoes - managing a Relay For Life to-do list of about 34 million tasks, struggling to maintain my other commitments like school and work, and steadily losing the interest of my ELT. There's a lot of pressure on you as a leader - get everything done, do it well, and do it on time. It's nearly impossible to be successful - key word nearly. It can all be done, done well, and done on time - you just have to ask your team to give 10000%. Consider these tips for your own stress relief and then share with your ELTs!
Mission Possible
Think back to your first Relay For Life experience. What was the most stunning moment? Since then, what has kept you coming back year after year? Chances are your answer has something to do with the mission of the American Cancer Society. Whether it's a great-uncle who used the National Cancer Information Center to get more details on his new diagnosis, a cousin who used Road to Recovery, or a friend who benefitted from ACS funded research we do everything we do to continue the mission and its successes. As hard as each of your tasks may get, never forget that the work you're doing matters to cancer patients, survivors, and their caregivers today and every day.
Make the Most of Your Time
Take a look at the below matrix: All of your tasks fall under one of these four quads. On top we have "urgent" and "non-urgent" - either a task demands attention or it can wait for a bit. On the side we have "important" and "not important" - a task either carries serious consequences for not doing it or not. Quad I is important and urgent - usually crises that are of the "in-your-face-must-be-dealt-with-at-this-instant" nature. It's near impossible to say no to those kinds of tasks. Tasks that fall in Quad III might be considered deceptive - you think they're urgent, but can almost always be put off till a later moment. We spend a lot of time doing Quad III things when a better way to manage our time might be in another Quad. Quad IV includes things that you do for funsies or to relax - those are really great things, but don't let your Netflix binge get away from you when you have other things to do. Finally Quad II is where you ideally want to spend most of your time in order to facilitate positive outcomes. These are tasks that you can use to get ahead of the game - build relationships with your ELT or use the Relay calendaring tool to plan out your upcoming month. The more time you're using to plan ahead the less time you're worried about crises or getting caught up in unimportant tasks. Use this matrix to manage your own time, but also share it with your ELTs to encourage their continued success!
In Delegation We Trust…
Easier said than done, right? I know you think that if you do a task you know it'll be done well and on time, and delegating means you lose control over a task and show vulnerability in being unable to do it yourself. Here's the thing though - you can't be everywhere at once. Something's gotta go, so you might as well delegate. Pick a task, choose a person, and patiently see what happens. Check in from time to time, but trust that you've delegated the right task to the right person and trained them well enough to successfully complete the job. Your ELT will be useful and extra committed if they know their work is necessary and helpful. Best case scenario? Someone else learns how to do something new (succession planning anyone?) and you didn't have to spend time or energy on it.
Dialogue Not Monologue
It's super easy to fall into a rut where you're doing everything and then dumping that information on to everyone later. An event as large as Relay requires open communication among everyone - you included. CC others on emails, use weekly meetings as brainstorming sessions instead of endless updates, find relevant ways to spread the message like GroupMe or Slack, and sometimes just shut up and listen - you'd be surprised at what you hear from your ELT when you stop talking. Use that communication, information, and shared knowledge to tell your team how important they are and encourage them to do more!
Sacrifice Perfection
So the Luminaria playlist doesn't include every song that was requested by participants, accounting is running a little slower than expected because your volunteers are still learning the paperwork, and a team is unhappy that their campsite doesn't give them a fabulous view of the stage. I promise you, it's okay. Everything isn't going to be perfect and everyone isn't going to be happy no matter what you do. Let it be. You've planned a spectacular event with your 10000% committee - no one is going to remember a few little hitches. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your newfound leadership under pressure skills!

Judy Myers will be hosting our September Wine Club on Friday, September 21 and the Theme is German Wines & Beer – Let's Celebrate Oktoberfest. She will be serving Grilled German Sausages to go along with our tasting, so please bring an appetizer, side or dessert to compliment.
Oktoberfest is a fall festival held in Germany which began in 1810 to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig. We're going to bring a little of that festival to Balcones Woods. Traditionally held the end of September thru first week of October, for us in Texas this is good cause to celebrate that the relentless summer heat is going to be subsiding!
Reislings, Mosels and Spatburgunder (a Pinot Noir) are just a few of the wines to choose from. As always, ask your wine merchant for suggestions. And for the beer, one can never go wrong with a Spatan or Paulaner Oktoberfest style beer and any number of Weiss, Pilsner and Bock beers; you decide what you'd like to share with the group.
Please remember to bring a Wine Glass
HOST: Judy Myers
ADDRESS: 4303 Flagstaff Circle
DATE: Friday, September 21
THEME: Wines of Germany – Let's Celebrate Oktoberfest!
Looking forward to seeing everyone there…Prost!

How To Be A Success as an entrepreneur. It begins with organization and ends with perseverance. Now let us discuss everything in between beginning and ending. First of all, success is the favorable end to a campaign and maintaining the prosperity over time.
Affiliate Disclaimer: I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.
The successful entrepreneur is successful mainly because he/she has researched a planned, strategized and will not take no for an answer. They are well versed in their craft. They believe in themselves and will continue to study and learn.
Moreover, they ignore the naysayers that are trying to put out their light. Success at any level is a venture, is easy to obtain you put the work in and maintain a focus driven by determination and passion.
Through the uncertainty, failures, and risks persist realize it is all part of the journey. Success comes from hard work. There is no get rich quick scheme.
How To Be A Success
Hard work and sweat are behind every successful business person. Therefore, successful entrepreneurs give 100 percent in all his undertakings.
If you can overcome the fear of success, you will see you have the ability to become a success. Fear are excuses that convince you that you can't when you can.
When you allow that voice of doubt in your head, pounding you with self-doubt, to take over, that is when you can't. "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career.
I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." – Michael Jordan
See there is a certain mindset that all entrepreneurs have that shows them How To Be A Success, they think outside the box. The people that challenge themselves mentally and physically to take the next step where others have stopped (failures).
Moreover, the ones who create change and solve problems make the world go round. Put that in a business context, and you have the number one trait of knowing How To Be A Success as an entrepreneur.
Characteristics Of Successful Entrepreneurs
How To Be A Success
Being resilient is not the only character that fuels the successful business person, the other essential attributes are:
The willingness to change: Recognizes and accept failure and learn from it.
Will take risks: Will take the next step when others are doubtful, but a tactical way.
They give back: Or pay it forward as some say. You build a trusting brand when assisting smaller businesses and startups. You will fill good when you give back to the community as well.
Network: They participate in online communities, social networks and publish in as many streams as possible.
Value time: Time management is imperative if you want stability and balance between work and personal duties.
Focus: Not easily distracted, will put down the cell phone and turn off the television.
Trustworthy: When people invest their money in a product or service through you, they are investing in you as well. In essence, they're saying you are trustworthy.
Frugal: They save while minimizing their expenses when investing in a venture and their personal lives as well.
Passion: Stimulated by an accomplishment or tremendous loss, or some other heighten event in their lives.
Confident: Will listens to others but makes the final decision
Strategies For Success
The successful entrepreneur realizes that it is a must to stay on top of the ever-evolving technology.
Moreover, the techniques to apply the technology if they want to stay ahead of the competition and better serve their clients.
If you're serious about creating lasting and significant change in your world. As opposed to merely thinking and talking about it for another year. There are a few things you might want to do in order to help make those intentions a reality.
Craig Harper offers the following strategies to know How To Be A Success
- Know what success is. If you don't know what success is (for you), how can you possibly create it? Success is different things for different people and one person's success (a pregnancy for example) might be another person's catastrophe.
- Clarity produces excitement. Excitement produces momentum. Momentum produces behavioral change. Behavioral change produces different results and eventually, the internal vision becomes an external reality. Giddy-up.
- Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Some people will live a life of second-best, of compromise and of under-achievement simply because they're (1) controlled by fear (2) always looking for the magic pill or shortcut and (3) not prepared to do the tough stuff.
- People who always take the easy option are destined for mediocrity. At best. Always avoiding the discomfort means constantly avoiding the lessons and the personal growth. Pain is a great teacher. Not always what we want. Sometimes what we need.
Be Self Aware
- Seek to be righteous, not right. The need to be "right". Speaks of arrogance, insecurity, ego, and stupidity. It's also synonymous with failure.
The person who constantly needs to be right will miss out on much of what life has to teach him and alienate himself from others. Arrogance repels, humility attracts.
- Seek respect, not popularity. Our nature is "who we are. Our reputation is why people think we're. When the two are synonymous, we're usually on the right path.
- Embrace mess. To embrace mess is to embrace life because life is messy, unpredictable, unfair, uncertain, lumpy and bumpy. So get used to a little chaos. Embrace it even. While others succumb to the messiness and unpredictability of the human experience, make a conscious choice to be the calm in the chaos.
- Don't become your parents. Or your boss. Or anyone but you. The enormity of conformity is a problem for the wanna-be success story. Sure, your parents are great and by all means, respect them, love them and learn from them.
Please don't become them. That's just plain ugly and a little bit tragic. Listen to, and learn from other people. Think, act and decide for yourself. And no, you don't need anyone's approval or permission. You're big now. It's okay.
- Be like water. Powerful. Gentle. Adaptable. Ever-changing. Being static in a dynamic world –. Like the one you and I inhabit. If you can't adapt, you can't succeed.
- Our practical, three-dimensional reality. Everything in it is in a constant state of transition while some of us are in a constant state of "same". Statues don't succeed; they just get crapped on. Watch out for the pigeons
5 Successful Entrepreneurs share the advice they remember from their past, that they attribute to their success
1. Billionaire Mark Cuban:
There are no shortcuts. The investor and owner of the Dallas Mavericks tell Business Insider the best advice he ever got was: "Do the work.
Out-work. Out-think. Outsell your expectations. There are no shortcuts." The advice came from his father, who did upholstery on cars when Cuban was in high school. "He was always very encouraging but also realistic," Cuban says of his dad.
2. Restaurateur Jon Taffer:
See every detail of your business. "Years ago when I was very young," recalls Taffer, the host of the TV show "Bar Rescue" and a former business owner, in a recent interview with Business Insider, "a VP of Hyatt looked at me and said, 'You look, but you don't see."
Taffer learned to look not just at the big picture, but also at every place setting, light fixture, and customer exchange. "See every crack, every detail. I learned to see real and not just look at my business," he says.
3. FUBU founder Daymond John:
Don't chase the money. When he was growing up, John's mother said, "Money is a great slave but a horrible master." "In the earlier days, I was doing things because I thought what I wanted was to be rich," the "Shark Tank" investor tells Business Insider's Richard Feloni.
"For the most part, those businesses failed, and then later when I started doing something casually because I loved it, that company burst." "So all those old sayings that your grandmother and grandfather used to tell you are somewhat realistic," John continues.
"I learned that over the years. And then after becoming wealthy and having money, I failed at a lot of things, and that reinforced some of those theories told in my past.
4. Panera Bread founder and CEO Ron Shaich:
Competitive advantage is everything. "Losing competitive advantage is the greatest risk in business," Shaich tells Business Insider. If you don't have a reason for people to walk past your competitors and come to your business, he says, then you don't exist.
"If you can do something to get somebody excited — not everybody — but if you can be the best for somebody, then you can win," Shaich says. "What it's all about is figuring out what you can do for somebody that nobody else can do better."
5. Real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran:
My best advice was an insult. Call it reverse psychology, but it was an insult that motivated Corcoran to succeed. "It's weird. The best advice was the worst advice," she told Business Insider's
6. Henry Blodget:
"It was from my boyfriend and partner in my first business when he told me I would never succeed without him. I have injured no doubt. But thank God he insulted me because I would not have built a big business without that. It kept me trying everything because I couldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing me fail. So the best advice was an insult."

This production within a production for Germany's Next Top Model was directed by Nabil Elderkin in Los Angeles. Working with Nabil on creative, we decided to make one clip, featuring each of Heidi's girls in succession of one action, where Heidi starts by throwing the molotov cocktail out into the studio space.
I managed pre-production and all talent, coordinated on set, briefed Nabil, and brought together two different video crews to make this clip possible in just one day of production with second unit filming for the broadcast segment of the show with Heidi Klum.

As the streets fill with witches, ghosts and everything in between, it is sometimes easy to forget about your safety. Well, we've got you covered with the most important safety measures you should take this Halloween.
Trick or Treating Safety
Flashlights & Reflectors
Make sure to be as visible as you possibly can to others around you, especially vehicles.
Be Vigilant
Be aware of your surroundings and have your children always look before crossing the street. Try your best to stay on the sidewalk as much as possible.
Travel in Groups
Make sure that your children trick or treat in groups led by a responsible, trusted adult.
Check Candies
Always check the candy before allowing your children to eat it. Try to avoid eating homemade treats, because you have no idea what's in them. Stick to professionally made and wrapped goodies.
Costume Safety
Always test make-up in a small area first and remove it before bed time to avoid skin irritation or potential allergic reactions. Costume accessories should be short, soft and flexible to avoid injury. Wear well-fitting masks and costumes to avoid poor vision and tripping hazards.
Home safety
Burglars seem to love to break in to homes on Halloween. More people are out of their homes, disorganized and leave doors unlocked. Here are some tips on how to keep this kind of Halloween monster away.
Lock All Doors & Windows
Make sure all your doors and windows are locked and that no ladders are left lying around outside. Avoid having a spare key anywhere on the premises.
Good Lighting
Many people turn their lights off to let trick or treaters no that they are not giving out candy, but the problem is that robbers get a different message. That message goes something like "I'm probably not home" or "there is a lot of cover to sneak around and steal stuff". Controlling your lights with your smart phone remotely or having motion sensing lights is a smart alternative to leaving them on.
Spook the Burglars Away
Zombie costumes are scary to us, how about you dress your home up to scare thieves away. The best costume for your home is an alarm system. Burglars are terrified of cameras, "protected by" signs, sensors and other home security accessories.
Avoid Sending the Wrong Message
Keep your lawn tidy and cut, make sure newspapers don't accumulate and don't leave the boxes from your new TV out by the curb. Also, be aware of what you post on social media. Simply announcing your excitement for the out of town Halloween party can let a crafty burglar know that your home is ripe for the picking.
Once you're safe, protected and ready to go, remember that the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy a Happy Halloween!

Exponare is an out-of-the-box solution developed
on MapInfos Enterprise platform. It combines the power
of MapInfos proven location based technology with
the flexibility of the Microsoft® .NET framework and
Web Services. CDR Group - MapInfo Exponare
MapInfo® Exponare is designed to enable users
to connect to the many sources of corporate data, to discover
the full extent of their information resource and to deliver
the high quality of service demanded by todays citizens
and customers.
Exponare is an integrated suite of applications, with a
strong emphasis on integration, centralised management and
ease of use. Exponare provides the portal to an organisations
corporate data, both spatial and non-spatial, allowing users
to leverage their corporate information
resource as never before and to do it with a minimum
of down time involved in implementation.
The Exponare product suite consists of a number of modules
designed to work seamlessly with each other and act as an
integrated suite. Sharing a common code base, each module
has a consistent look and feel and is set up with a common
configuration tool. The first two modules of the Exponare
suite are Enquiry and Public.
Financial services
Exponare has been specifically designed to be user friendly
and intuitive with modules catering for a wide range of
users from technical specialists to the general public.
Standard Windows development methodologies have been employed
to incorporate familiar user interface components such as
drag and drop, dropdown lists, checkboxes and navigation
The configuration tool provides administrators with
complete control over the user interface, functionality,
data sets, queries and print templates. Configuration is
managed to group or individual user level and controlled
by password login access.
Exponare Enquiry includes comprehensive data binding capabilities,
allowing users to query data stored in MapInfo tables, non-spatial
databases (such as Microsoft Access and SQL Server), and
spatial databases (such as Oracle Spatial and SpatialWare
for SQL Server).
The first level of integration Exponare provides with other
applications and databases is via data binding, which allows
organisations to access corporate data. A second level of
integration can be achieved at the application level by
linking Exponare clients to third party applications. Links
to third party applications can be created through custom
development within the Exponare architecture. This
combination of data level and application level integration
makes Exponare the key to full utilisation of an organisations
information resource.
The Enquiry and Public modules are managed from a central
server so there is no need to visit individual work stations
to install or upgrade the software. This drastically reduces
time, effort and therefore the cost of deploying the product.
Enquiry and Public are web service clients that distribute
the functionality of the Exponare Server. The power of web
services is that virtually any application on the network
can act as an Exponare client and exploit the desired server
based functions. This web services approach reduces duplication
of effort by making truly distributed use of the spatial
functions and configuration ability of the Exponare suite.
All Exponare modules provide an out-of-the-box installation,
which means no code development is required to implement
the application, thereby ensuring quicker implementation
timeframes and a faster return on investment.
Consistent with MapInfos strong conformance to standards,
Exponare also adheres to IT industry and geospatial standards
including SOAP, WSDL and .NET to ensure interoperability
with other systems.
Enquiry provides internal access to
corporate information and allows users to perform queries,
generate printed maps, reports and mail merges, and has
a strong emphasis on integration with external applications.
Public provides
browser based access for the
non-technical user.

I thought it was going to snow...going to? It was snowing!!! When I went outside this morning it was snowing! Even my humans saw the snow!!!
Pooh! Now it's rain! Yes rain!!!
We were supposed to take a trip across the mountains today. My humans are afraid the mountains will be icy and they would have to rush to get back before dark, so I don't think they're going. Even I know it gets dark at my supper time this part of the year.
Oh, yawwwnnn, I'll just nap here in front of the fireplace. They'll wake me up if they change their mind about going.
