Service Behind the scenes of today's – and tomorrow's – after-sales service
Customers who hand in their watch for after-sales service naturally wish to get it back as soon as possible. Watchmakers are making progress and yet resisting the time squeeze: 'express' after-sales service is simply never going to happen. Here's why.
Whereas the watch industry as a whole is becoming increasingly transparent, after-sales service remains a somewhat obscure area for end customers. Their watches are sent off, serviced and returned within a pretty variable time-frame. But what happens when the retailer's shutters are down?
A watch, an operation, a location
The first step consists in determining where the service will be performed. There are two polar opposite stances on this issue, depending on whether the model in question is Haute Horlogerie or mass market. The former systematically implies sending timepieces back to their Manufacture for any interventions on their mechanism. Depending on the geographical starting point, it therefore takes four to eight days just to send the watch back and forth.
Some countries are however more complicated than others when it comes to logistics, and require more time. Many specialists mention the case of Russia and everyone tries to find their own method of controlling these lead times. "One of the options for that particular country is to synchronise with a customer's travels," explains Guillaume Tetu, CEO Hautlence. "When he stops off in Geneva, Paris or Miami, he hands over his watch at one of our points of sale, which then sends it to Switzerland. We then make arrangements to return it to one of the next capitals on our customer's schedule."
Kurt Kupper wishes he had that option, although the CEO of the Reuge hand-crafted music box company points out that "Fortunately, there is almost no after-sales service with our models, provided they are set into operation from time to time. But if an incident does occur, such as an accidental fall, or house removals done without sufficient care, we sometimes have to send someone on-site". That naturally makes for shorter deadlines, but correspondingly higher bills if the repairs do not come under guarantee…
Finally, a last variable can help keep after-sales service to minimum: namely retailers' intervention on models that are not yet sold. Some of them remain unwound for long periods or are subjected to extended exposure to ultra-violet rays through the shop windows. De Bethune has notably developed an innovative policy in this area: "Points of sale are required to conduct half-yearly tests on our models. Nonetheless, in case of doubt, De Bethune does a complete overhaul of the product at its own expense, in order to guarantee that the end customer purchases watches operating at their best," says Pierre Jacques, CEO.
A watch, a movement, an exchange – in some cases
High-volume watchmaking does not always take things quite so far. According to Pierre Maret, Director of Customer Service at TAG Heuer, "During a given intervention (for a breakdown or for maintenance), and depending on the nature of the repair to be made, we may in some instances simply decide to fit a new movement". This is a plus for the customer, who benefits from a watch that is as good as new, ultra-fast turn-around, as well as enhanced longevity of the model.
Nonetheless, such a straightforward exchange is not always feasible, notably in the case of vintage models, as Pierre Maret explains: "The whole difficulty lies in determining which models are or are not considered 'vintage'. But we're working on that. The 1950s, 60s and 70s are regarded as 'vintage' years, and we are currently taking a closer look at the period spanning the late 1980s and the early 1990s."
When it comes to vintage models, everything depends on the nature of the repair. The whole after-sales service issue is very different in such cases, since it is no longer a matter of determining how long a model will be away being serviced, but instead whether it is indeed reparable. Pierre Maret sums up the situation: "We have a large stock of parts and we do our very best, but striking the right balance between financial and sentimental value can be a difficult decision to make for the customer. Whatever the case, we try to stick to four weeks for a recent model, and an average of 12 weeks for 80% of reparable vintage watches. "
Power reserve: a strong point that becomes a weakness in after-sales service
Nonetheless, despite their good intentions, brands simply cannot speed up certain aspects of the process. Chopard has managed to reduce turn-around times thanks to a new 3,400 sq.m. service centre in Miami. Since September 2013, the latter has been handling returns from the United States, Latin American and Caribbean region. While that is certainly a praiseworthy effort, Chopard, like all other brands, will nonetheless face certain test-related lead times that simply cannot be cut, such as for models powered by its four-barrel L.U.C 1.98 movements.
Any intervention does indeed end with a test covering one or two complete power-reserve cycles, during which the precision is measured in multiple positions and at various times. And even though there are a few watchmaking tricks serving to accelerate these tests, a Panerai Luminor 8 Days, a Blancpain, or indeed an A. Lange & Söhne 31 Days, will mathematically require longer testing during after-sales service than a model with the standard 42 hours of autonomy!
The future of after-sales service
At the end of the day, good after-sales service is about finding the best way of handling multiple constraints. But are the latter liable to evolve in the future? Definitely, in terms of sheer volume. The equation is once again quite simple: the more watches there are on the market, the more after-sales needs will grow. So tomorrow will be about maintaining reasonable lead times despite being faced with exponentially larger volumes. This will require rapid changes in the two key areas of attitudes and processes.
"Un excellent SAV prolonge et renforce l'attachement entre une marque et son client."
When it comes to attitudes, after-sales service will need to be considered no longer as a cost centre, but instead as a means of securing customer loyalty. Excellent after-sales service (or customer service as it increasingly known) is in fact a means of extending and strengthening the ties between a brand and its customers. This nonetheless involves significant investments in the recruitment of watchmakers ahead of the upcoming volumes, in systematically storing plans and tools, as well as in transport, logistics, etc.
The other eagerly awaited and necessary transformation relates to after-sales service processes. We are currently seeing the emergence of two complementary policies. The first involves a group deciding to concentrate its entire after-sales activities on a single site, thereby saving costs and rental, while fostering the sharing of experiences, simplifying workflows, and improved overall service. That is what Richemont has done in the Paris area with a large after-sales service centre for all the brands within the group.
The complementary trend is towards regional specialisation. The Franches-Montagnes is currently preparing to enter the fray. Basically, it has had come to terms with the fact that that it cannot hope to compete with neighbouring Switzerland when it comes to developing and producing watches. Nonetheless, despite its lack of financial resources and clear-cut political determination, the region can count on its talents and its expertise. It would thus logically be the nearest and most competitive catchment area to absorb the overflow of watches requiring after-sales service that Switzerland will in any case soon be unable to cope with single-handedly.

Aqueduct: Rice wins trainer's title in final race
Trainer Linda Rice won five of the last 18 races run at the Aqueduct meet – including the final one with Thisskysabeauty – to win the spring meet trainer's title, 13-12, over Rudy Rodriguez.
This was Rice's fourth trainer's title on the New York Racing Association circuit, second outright. She won the 2010 Saratoga meet, tied David Jacobson for the 2011 Aqueduct spring title, and tied Todd Pletcher for the 2011 Belmont spring/summer title.
"I think winning the title at Saratoga would be my best memory in racing ever, but to tie or win Aqueduct, Belmont, to me, it means a lot," Rice said. "You have to show consistency. As Wayne Lukas told me a long time ago, getting to the top is a lot easier than staying there."
Cornelio Velasquez won the jockey title with 24 wins. David Cohen finished second with 20.
david the hanes man jacobson must be a heartless sonof a gun claiming the only horse off a crippled owner trainer-blindmen watchout for your dogs! he claims him and drops him in for half the price takes a loss and linda claims him win stepping him up thats real karma there in all fairness the former trainer shouldve claimed him back unless he lost a shake but come on hanesman -claiming the only horse off a crippled trainer wheres the honor there

15 - Study up on 'Better Luck Tomorrow'
Justin Lin's Asian-American teen crime drama 'Better Luck Tomorrow' was the perfect way to clense the pallet.
But if anything, at least this movie is not about kung fu fighting Chinese actors coupled with black or white male leads in movies like "Bulletproof Monk". Justin Lin's "Better Luck Tomorrow" aptly reminds the audience that Chow Young Fat, Jet Li, and Jackie Chan are not Asian-American men!

The 15 pirates arrested in the first anti-piracy operation this year are going to be charge-sheeted in the next 15 days, officers of Yellow Gate police station said on Monday.
"The investigations have concluded and we will file the charge sheet within this fortnight," said Quaiser Khalid, deputy commissioner of police, port zone.
The pirates were apprehended by the Indian Navy and Coast Guard on January 29 while they were trying to hijack MV Verdi off the Lakshwadeep coast. They were handed over to the Yellow Gate police for investigation two days later.
Meanwhile, the four Pakistani hostages who were rescued in the most recent anti-piracy operation are yet to hear from the Pakistani embassy. "We informed the embassy that out of the 20 hostage who were rescued, four said they were Pakistani citizens while the others are from Iran. The Pakistani hostages spoke to their families back home. Despite this we are yet to hear from the Pakistani embassy while the Iran embassy has already finished the necessary paperwork," said Khalid.
The operation was undertaken after the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre of the Indian Coast Guards received inputs from a merchant ship, MV Maersk Kensington, of a foiled piracy attack. The 20 hostages were rescued on March 27 after they were held hostage by 16 pirates for over a year.

May 5, 1953 w. A. MccABE DUPLEX ALBUM LEAF FOR PHoToGRAPHIc PRINTS Filed Aug. 18, 1950 NVENTOR WALTER McCABE By MM ATTORNEY Patented May 5, 1953 UNITED DUPLEX ALBUM LEAF FOR PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS Walter A. McCabe, East Haddam, Conn., assigner to Ernestine McCabe, East Haddam, Conn.
Application August 18, 1950, Serial No. 180,193
2 Claims. 1
The inventio-n relates to a duplex album leaf for mounting and framing photographic prints, the leaf being adapted for the mounting and framing of two prints at the respective sides thereof. A plurality of similar leaves may be secured in place in an album binder or cover which may be of conventional construction and which does not constitute a part of the present invention.
It has been the prior practice in this art to provide framing mats which are attachable to the main body of the leaf and which carry or are combined with envelopes for containing the prints. The prints are placed 'in the envelopes with the expectation that they will be properli exposed through the framing openings in the mats. However, the envelopes do not closely fit the prints and furthermore they are open at one or both ends, the result being that the prints are not accurately located and held. Either initially or after use the prints are out of proper register with the framing openings and the results are quite unsatisfactory.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide an album leaf having a body with front and rear sections, and having means on each body section for accurately locating and holding a print thereon in vertical position or in horizontal position, such locating and holding means being entirely independent of the framing mats.
In accordance with the invention the framing mats merely frame the printsI and cover the edges thereof without being `relied upon or used to locate the prints or to hold them in place.
Another object of the invention is to provide an album leaf having the described characteristics and having an improved main body formed by properly blanking and folding a single sheet of cardboard or other suitable material.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an album leaf having the described characteristics and having novel and advantageous means for locating and holding the prints on the sections of the body.
Still other objects of the invention will be apparent from the drawing and from the following description and claims.
In the drawing I have shown in detail a preferred embodiment of the invention, but it will be understood that various changes may be made from the construction shown, and that the drawing is not to be construed as defining or limiting the scope of the invention, the claims forming a part of this specification being relied upon for that purpose.
On the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a front view ofl a blank which, after folding, constitutes the body of an album leaf embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is a front view of the hinge structure forming a part of the album leaf.
Fig. 3 is a front view of one of the framing mats. Y
Fig. 4 is a front View of an album leaf with a picture therein but without the framing mat.
Fig. 5 is a View similar to Fig. 4 with the framing mat in place.
Figs. 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are enlarged fragmentary sectional views taken respectively along the lines 6 6, 1 1, 8 8, 9 9 and IIl I0 of Fig. 4.
Fig. l1 is a view similar to Fig. 9 but showing an alternative construction.
Fig. 12 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional View taken along the line I2 I2 of Fig. 5.
A duplex album leaf embodying the invention includes a body which comprises two similar rectangular front and rear cardboard sections which are parallel with each other and which are preferably spaced apart by a small distance. The term cardboard is used in a generic sense and is intended to include any suitable relatively stiff but nevertheless somewhat flexible sheet material.
The two body sections may be variously formed and connected, but as shown in Fig. 1 there is preferably provided a blank cardboard sheet I0 which upon folding constitutes the body of the album leaf. The blank I0 comprises two similar front and rear sections I2 and I4 which are integral with each other and which are connected along a vertical folding zone. The said sections I2 and I4 are of the same size and are preferably approximately square. Vertical scoring is provided at the folding zone between the two sections to permit the section I4 to be folded rearwardly and toward the left along the scoring so as to be positioned at the rear of the section I2. The folded blank is shown in Fig. 4. Preferably a single score line I6 is provided at the front and two spaced score lines I8, I8 are provided at the rear. The arrangement and spacing of the score lines causes the sections I2 and I4 to be spaced from each other after folding. The two sections are spaced apart by a distance approximately equal to the thickness of the blank.
The last above-mentioned spacing is shown in Fig. 6. It will be understood however that in Fig. 6 and in the other cross sectional views the dimensions in the direction of thickness are not exactly to scale, being in most instances somewhat exaggerated.
The blank I is provided at the top and at the bottom with integral tabs 20 and 22 which extend respectively upwardly and downwardly. Each tab is connected to one of the body sections and preferably they are connected to the same section, as for instance the section I2. The tab 26 is adapted to be folded rearwardly and downwardly along a score line 24 to a position behind and in face-to-face relationship with the section I2 as indicated at 2lia and is more clearly shown in Fig. 7. be folded rearwardly and upwardly along ascore line 26 to a position behind and in face-to-face elationship with the section I2 as indicated at The tabs 2U and 22 are first folded as described to the positions 2)a and 22a and thereafter the section I4 is folded as described to bring it into engagement with the rear faces of the` folded tabs, as shown in Fig. '7. The section I4 is held in engagement with the tabs by pasting. When the blank has been folded and pasted as described, the two sections I2 and I4 thereof are adjacent each other but are spaced apart by a distance equal tothe thickness of the tabs. After folding and pasting metallic corner clips 28, 28 may be applied at the upper and. lower right corners.
As shown more particularly in Figs. 1 and 8,
the album leaf also includes a hinge structure generally indicated at 30. The hinge structure includes a long narrow binding strip 32 of cardboard or other suitable stiff material, this strip being relatively thick and extending vertically from the top to the bottom of the hinge structure. A vertical zone 34 of flexible material such as cloth or paper is provided adjacent the binding strip 32. Preferably and as shown, a sheet36 of flexible material is Wrapped around the strip 32, being pasted thereto. Portions of the sheet 36 extend toward the right from the strip 32, these portions being in contact along the saidvertical zone 34l and being pasted to each other. A relatively thin spacer strip 38 is provided, this strip being formed of cardboard or other suitablestiff material and extending from the top tothe bottom of the: hinge structure. The right portions of the flexible sheet 36 are at thefront and` rear faces of the strip 38 and are pasted thereto.
Holes 46, 40 are provided in the strip 32 and in the flexible sheet 36 for receiving studs or posts forming a part 0f an album binderor cover which may be of conventional' design. It will be seen that the contacting portions of the exible'sheet 36 atthe zone 34 between the strips 32 and' 38 constitute a flexible hinge element'.
After the blank iii has been' folded and pasted as described and after the hinge structure has been formed as described, the right portion of the hinge structure is inserted in the space at the left.. portion of the folded blank between the spaced front and rear sections. I2 and I4 thereof, as shown in Figs. 4 and 8. The parts are pasted so asto be held in their assembled relationship. The. binding strip 32v in the. lef-t portion of 'the hinge structure is adjacent and spaced from the vertical edge of the. main body and the flexible material in the zone 34 is interposed between the binding strip and the saidedge of the body. Thus the main body comprising the folded blank ishingedly connected at the zone 34 with the left portion ofthe hingestructure, whichportion of the hinge structure, is adapted tobe connected with an album binder or cover.A
Similarly, the tab 22 is adapted to:
The front body section I2 is provided with four similar cuts 42, 42 which are preferably arcuate. The cuts 42, 42 are near the corners of the section I2 and are at the corners of a square. Each of the cuts 42, 42 has its concave side toward the center of the section I2, and each cut outlines a deflectable tongue 44. Preferably a notch 46 is provided at the concave side 'of' each cut 42 and within the tongne'dfi. Similar cuts, tongues and notches are provided in the rear body section I4. In order to provide suincient spaces for the several cuts 42, 42, the tabs 20 and 22 are preferably relatively narrowV near their ends. For the same reason the spacing strip 38 of the hinge structure is preferably relatively narrow near its ends. The cuts 42, 42 in each body section are adapted for receiving the corner portions of a framing mat as hereinafter described.
Means are provided on the respective body sections I2 and I4 for directly locating and holding on the outer face of each of them aphotographic print having a predetermined size smaller than the square at lthe corners of which the cuts 42, 4-2 are located. The last aforesaid means are adapted for locating prints of oblong shape and each of the said means is constructed and ar.- ranged to hold the corresponding print either in horizontal position in the same general location or in vertical position. Each print is accurately located and is located andv held entirely independently of the corresponding framing mat.
The means for locating and holdingl the photographic prints may be varied but the said means preferably comprises two pairs of notches in each a. of the respective body sections, the notches of one pair in each section being positioned to receive diagonally opposite corner `portions of a print in horizontal position andthe notches of the other pair in each section being positioned to. alternatively receive diagonally opposite corner portions of a print in vertical position. Referring particularly to Fig. l, ythe notches in the body section I2 for locating and holdingv a print such as 48 in horizontal position are shown at 56 and 52 and the notches for locating and holding an alternative print 54 in vertical position are shown atSGand 58. Similarly the body section I4 is provided withnotches 6U' and 62 for locating. and holding a second print 64' inhorizontal position and with notches 66 and 68 for locating and holding, any alternative print in vertical position. From the foregoing description it will be apparent that two photographic prints of the same predetermined. size and shape may be mounted on the album leaf, one at the front thereof and the other at the rear thereof. Either print may be in horizontal position or in vertical position.
Transparent cover sheets 'I'Ilv and 'I2 having the same size as the prints are ordinarily placed, at the fronts of the prints to protect them, the prints and ythe cover sheets being both located and held in place by the notches. The transparent sheets are shown in Figs. 9 and l0. Ordinarily each print` and the corresponding cover sheet are put in. place at the same time, one corner being first inserted in one notch. The print and cover sheetv are flexed to enable the diagonally opposite corner to be inserted in the other notch.
In order that the prints and the cover sheets may remain flat after entry in the notches, the body section is provided with raisedor'offsetportions 'I4, 'I4 adjacent the respective notches. One offset portion 'I4 is shown inv Fig. 9, and another offset portion 'E4 is shown in Fig. 10. The said oiTset portions provide recesses into which the corner portions of the prints and cover sheets extend while remaining fiat, thus avoiding permanent flexing of the cover portions with resultant outward bulging of the main portions of the prints and cover sheets.
It will be observed particularly from 4 that the notches 50, 90 and 59 and the corresponding oiiset portions itl, M of the body section I4 are so located that they are out of register with the notches 50, 52, 55 and 58 and the corresponding offset portions lil, it of the cody section l2. This avoids the increased total thickness of the album leaf which would result ir the several offset portions lil, 'Ed o1 the two body sections were in register with each other.
While it is ordinarily sufcient to engage each print and the corresponding cover sheet only at the diagonally opposite corners thereof, it may under some circumstances be desirable to provide eight additional notches Z5 so that each print and cover sheet may be held at all four corners, either in horizontal position or in Vertical position. The drawing does not show all of the eight additional notches but one such notch is shown in Fig. 11, which is similar to Fig. 9 except for the additional notch itl.
Two similar front and rear framing mats lli, 78 are provided, one of them being shown in Fig. 3. Each mat "i8 is square, except that the corners are preferably rounded. A rectangular opening 9i; is provided in each mat is, this opening having approximately the saine size and shape as the prints 43, 5d and 5ft but slightly smaller. Each mat may be ornainentally em bossed at the edges of the opening dit.
After a print l5 or 5d and its cover sheet have been positioned in the locating notches in the body section l2 as described, one of the framing mats is put in place over it as shown in the mat being turned so that the opening 50 is horizontal or vertical as required. In the positioning of the framing sheet the corner portions thereof are inserted in the cuts ft2, ft2, the tongues 44, lil being slightly flexed as shown in Fig. 12. It will be understood that the mat i9 must be flexed in order to permit its corner portions to be inserted as described. Similarly, after the print 54 or an alternative vertical print has been positioned in the locating notches in the body section ll, the other framing mat is put in place over it, the mat being turned so that the opening 80 is horizontal or vertical as required.
The described spacing between the body sections I2 and lll provides room for the insertion of the corner portions of one framing mat 10. When the second framing mat is put in place the immediately adjacent portions of the two body sections l2 and I4 are forced apart slightly as shown.
The framing mats cover the edges of the prints and also cover the several print locating notches, but they do not in any way serve to locate or hold the prints. The prints are located and held solely by the several notches in the body sections.
The invention claimed is:
1. In a duplex album leaf for photographic prints, the combination of a body comprising two similar rectangular front and rear cardboard sections parallel with each other which sections are firmly connected with each other, means for spacing the major portions of the areas of said sections, cuts in each of the body sections near the corners thereof and at the corners of a square, two pairs of notches in each of the respective body sections for directly locating and holding on the outer face of each of them a photographic print having a predetermined size ller than the corresponding aforesaid square and having an oblong shape, the notches of one pair in each section being positioned to receive diagonally opposite corner portions of a print in horizontal position and in a predetermined general location and the notches of the other pair in each section being positioned to alternatively receive diagonally opposite corner portions of a print in vertical position in the saine general location, and front and rear square cardboard framing mats each of such size 'that it may be connected to the outer face of the corresponding body section by the insertion of its corner portions in the said cuts in the said body section and be accommodated in the space between said sections, each mat having an oblong opening therein which is of approximately the same size and shape as the corresponding print and which is so located that the said print is visible through lthe said opening when the print is located and held by the corresponding notches and when the corner portions of the mat are inserted in the corresponding cuts and each mat by reason of its square shape being adapted to be connected to body member with the oblong opening in the mat either in horizontal position or in vertical position according to the position of the corresponding print.
2. A duplex album leaf for photographic prints as set forth in claim l, wherein each body section is provided adjacent each print receiving notch with an outwardly offset portion which provides a recess into which the corresponding corner portion of the print may extend with the print nat, and wherein the print receiving notches and the corresponding offset portions of each body section are out of register with the print receiving notches and the corresponding offset portions of the other body section.

After 'miserably losing', the Celebrity Cricket League team promises to do well next year. Actor Salman Khan has declared that his Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) team, Mumbai Heroes, will come back with a bang in the second season.
"Last time we did not make it. Every time we lost a match, we used to discuss how we would destroy those guys in the next game. But we still lost miserably. This year, we will try to perform well," said the 45-year-old actor, addressing a press conference in Dubai to announce CCL's plans to head to the UAE.
The league is scheduled to be held at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on January 13 and 14, next year. The Bodyguard actor also revealed the line-up of Mumbai Heroes along with its brand ambassadors — actors Kangna Ranaut, Sonakshi Sinha and Genelia D'Souza — at the star-studded function.
Salman will not play in the match this season due to medical reasons.
He, however, will be apresent on the sidelines cheering his boys. Actor Sohail Khan, who owns Mumbai Heroes, is also optimistic about his team's future and says they will soon start working on their fielding attack.
"Cricket and cinema are the two religions among Indians. And we have grown up watching Indo-Pakistan games — I still remember the six hit by Javed Miandad at Sharjah stadium. Therefore, Sharjah is the perfect place to host CCL. We are taking this seriously, and we will begin rigorous practice sessions soon," says Sohail, adding, "We promise to keep it reasonable because it's all about entertaining the masses and bringing people from different states together."

|Teen Voice: Learning a second language allows for empathy
|November 18, 2016 Faith Reisig
In my Spanish class this year the students are supposed to speak purely en Español. I can usually understand what is being said, within limits, but I am woefully unable to communicate any complex thoughts or questions. Because I am not yet familiar or confident in my Spanish abilities, I am having a hard time in class.
Making a point to speak only Spanish in the classroom has improved my speaking skills significantly, but Im still far behind the kids who are used to hearing it spoken.
Because everything is taught in Spanish, I dont understand as much as I would if it were taught in English. This is hard enough when Im being taught how to speak the language; I cant imagine what it would be like to take science or history, two of my stronger classes, in Spanish.
The majority of my life is handled through a language I know. I love writing in English, playing with different words, and expressing myself. For me it is easy to do all of that in English, my most comfortable language. I may have 45 minutes of embarrassing attempts at conjugation in Spanish class, but at least I dont have to fill out tax forms in Spanish, or take the ACT in a language Im new to.
Some people arent that lucky. Data from the Census Bureau shows that 42.4 million immigrants now live in the U.S. The more I struggle to pick up a second language, the better I understand how hard it would be to move to a new country.
I wont be moving to Spain or Mexico anytime soon. But a lot of kids my age dont have that kind of stability. There are some in my school who had to move to America because their parents decided to immigrate. I cant imagine what it would be like to be transplanted like that, but I can now understand the difficulties of trying to communicate in a language that doesnt make sense to me.
There are programs in place to help students struggling to pick up a new language. English Language Learners, or ELLs, are students that are unable to take classes in a new language.
While my Spanish class is slowly teaching me the finer points of communication in a new language, Ive learned another lesson much more rapidly; not everyone is comfortable with how I speak. Even beyond people who are having to learn a new language, there are people who dont communicate as well as I do (and there are definitely people who communicate better than I do.) If I can be patient with people I struggle to understand and learn from, the people who are better than me in any area, I can improve as a writer, a speaker, and a person.
Students who qualify for English as a Second Language (ESL) programs are between three and 21 years of age, are enrolled in an elementary or secondary school, were born in another country, and do not speak English as their native language. Their English proficiency skills prevent them from accessing the grade-level curriculum and correlated standardized tests administered each year.
When foreign-born students first enter the school system, they are assessed for their current level of English language proficiency. Schools often have families fill out a Home Language Survey to establish the childs native language and the language currently spoken at home. Instructors will also conduct an informal interview with the student in both English and the native language, if possible, with the parent present. A formal assessment, such as the ACCESS for ELLs, will be administered to assess the students skills in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
There are many strategies ESL teachers use to assist students in learning English and familiarizing them with American culture. The use of visual cues is a tremendous support, as students may see the item or action being described. Technology has grown ESL instruction by leaps and bounds, as students can watch videos, engage in online language games, and gain hands-on practice hearing, watching, and speaking the English language.

6.2: Negative and Zero Exponents
Valdivia, Chile has suffered two major earthquakes. The 1575 Valdivia earthquake had a magnitude of 8.5. The world's largest earthquake was the 1960 Valdivia earthquake at a magnitude of 9.5.
What was the size of the 1575 earthquake compared to the 1960 one?
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes
In this concept, we will introduce negative and zero exponents. First, let's address a zero in the exponent through an investigation.
Investigation: Zero Exponents
2. What is a number divided by itself? Apply this to #1.
Investigation: Negative Exponents
3. Are the answers from #1 and #2 equal? Write them as a single statement.
From the two investigations above, we have learned two very important properties of exponents. First, anything to the zero power is one. Second, negative exponents indicate placement. If an exponent is negative, it needs to be moved from where it is to the numerator or denominator. We will investigate this property further in the Problem Set.
Example A
Simplify the following expressions. Your answer should only have positive exponents.
Alternate Method: Part c
Example B
Simplify the expressions. Your answer should only have positive exponents.
Solution: In these expressions, you will need to move the negative exponent to the numerator or denominator and then change it to a positive exponent to evaluate. Also, simplify any numerical fractions.
Example C
Multiply the two fractions together and simplify. Your answer should only have positive exponents.
Solution: The easiest way to approach this problem is to multiply the two fractions together first and then simplify.
Intro Problem Revisit
Set each earthquake's magnitude up as an exponential expression and divide.
Guided Practice
Simplify the expressions.
- Zero Exponent Property
- \begin{align*}a^0 = 1, a \neq 0\end{align*}
- Negative Exponent Property
- \begin{align*}\frac{1}{a^m} = a^{-m}\end{align*} and \begin{align*}\frac{1}{a^{-m}} = a^m, a \neq 0\end{align*}
Simplify the following expressions. Answers cannot have negative exponents.
- \begin{align*}\frac{8^2}{8^4}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{x^6}{x^{15}}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{7^{-3}}{7^{-2}}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{y^{-9}}{y^{10}}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{x^0 y^5}{xy^7}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{a^{-1} b^8}{a^5 b^7}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{14c^{10} d^{-4}}{21c^6 d^{-3}}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{8g^0 h}{30g^{-9} h^2}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{5x^4}{10y^{-2}} \cdot \frac{y^7 x}{x^{-1} y}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{g^9 h^5}{6gh^{12}} \cdot \frac{18h^3}{g^8}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{4a^{10} b^7}{12a^{-6}} \cdot \frac{9a^{-5} b^4}{20a^{11} b^{-8}}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{-g^8 h}{6g^{-8}} \cdot \frac{9g^{15} h^9}{-h^{11}}\end{align*}
- Rewrite the following exponential pattern with positive exponents: \begin{align*}5^{-4}, 5^{-3}, 5^{-2}, 5^{-1}, 5^0, 5^1, 5^2, 5^3, 5^4\end{align*}.
- Evaluate each term in the pattern from #13.

Katie is a big story (currently still in production) of a young girl growing up, through hard training, into a big bodybuilder. We follow the tale of how she meets her boyfriend Nathan, and then later how they get to know Angela, another female bodybuilder, who finds her own boyfriend.
The story is being published here chapter by chapter, so you can start with Part one and continue your way up. Or you can get a taste of Katie with the two free episodes! There's also a collection of the first five parts, at a reduced price.
€29.90 €37.00
This collection contains parts 1 to 5 of my bestselling and personal favorite Katie. Katie is the epic story of a young girl discovering that she loves muscles, strength, and power. She experiences the antagonism of her dad, she finds love in the person of small Nathan, and friendship with fellow bodybuilding giantess Angela.
In these five episodes - totaling over 660 pages - we see Katie pick up bodybuilding and martial arts, growing bigger and stronger than her father. We see her conquer classmates, confront (and humiliate) her dad, fall in love with little Nathan, install her own personal gym in her basement... We see her workout, go on dates with Nathan, and defend him against thugs. Part five ends with Katie and Nathan having a serious chat about their future, and question of whether Nathan can deal with Katie's obsession for bodybuilding and strength.

Katie 5
€29.90 €43.00
This collection contains parts 6 to 10 of my bestselling and personal favorite Katie. Katie is the epic story of a young girl discovering that she loves muscles, strength, and power. She experiences the antagonism of her dad, she finds love in the person of small Nathan, and friendship with fellow bodybuilding giantess Angela.
This bundle starts of with the first bedroom encounter between Nathan and Katie, after a long absence of Katie. Both are eighteen now, and nothing is standing in the way of a hot night full of muscle. In the next part, Katie's superhot friend Angela is introduced, and both Nathan and his friend Tom are introduced to this stunning giantess. The next part features a wonderful pool scene, where the girls completely overpower their scrawny boyfriends, and where Angela carries Tom to her bedroom. Furthermore, you'll see several scenes where Katie confronts her father, a sauna scene where Angela dominates both Tom and his girlfriend, and later asks him who he will choose, and a boardwalk with Katie and Nathan where the young bodybuilder confronts a muscular guy, right before the couple withdraws into a cabin to play some more.

This is a FREE 38 pic chapter from the story Katie, which you can find at LHart.com (it is being serialized there, with each month seeing a new chapter being published). Mind that this is NOT the first chapter.
Katie is a long and ambitious story, kind of like my Amber and Julian story. Psychological development of the characters is very important. It may bring back memories of your youth, when you were confronted with stronger or taller girls. We follow Katie's development from a young girl into adulthood, and see her grow bigger and bigger.
What happened before this chapter:
Katie has become very passionate about working out and building muscle. However, her insecure dad thinks this is going to far, and he limits katie's gym hours. She does like that, and takes the first opportunity she gets to do something about that...

The Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head is an all-valve amplifier with a choice of two dynamic ranges selectable by footswitch. The Low range equates equates to the performance you would come to expect from a stock vintage Marshall amplifier in terms of tone and available gain. The High range adds an extra preamp valve into the signal path, facilitating those classic hard rock tones of the seventies. Add to this the ability to dynamically interface with your instrument's Volume and Tone controls and the experience translates into a truly expressive and organic feel in performance.
Two frequency selective Pre-amp Volumes (Gains) - Body and Detail - facilitate greater flexibility in tone shaping for individual guitars and styles while the power amplifier is heavily influenced by the first Marshall amplifiers to be produced, with four KT66 output valves yielding that substantial, fat and smooth tone. A MID Boost switch on the front panel fattens the tone even more while a traditional Marshall tone control circuit enables fine tuning of your sound.
A master volume has been included in order to practically manage the output levels at all venues. This is implemented after the phase splitter in order to fully exploit maximum preamp drive when the master is turned down low. A reverb level control mixes the on board plate reverb with the direct signal to whatever degree the player chooses. The reverb can be toggled on and off via the footswitch.
Finally, a series FX loop is provided for those players who wish to use outboard effects to further enhance their sound. Loop levels of "10dB and +4dB can be controlled via a rear panel switch as well as the option to completely bypass this feature if it is not required.
The cosmetics are also a carefully crafted hybrid of old and new styles " made even more dramatic by the deep purple vinyl that covers the entire series.

If you're looking for an amp with all the bells and whistles, this isn't it. If you're looking for an amp that will capture the great overdrive, deep and rich tone from the late 60's to early 80's, look no more - this is definitely it! Sure, you'll have to spend a little time figuring out how to get different tones using the volume knob on your guitar and the amp, dialing in contour, body settings, etc. And yes, you can even get clean tones. Need it to break up just a little bit? Absolutely. If you want to sound like Hendrix, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Poison and so on, here you go. This is one amp I will never sell.

Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
this is a great amp and i have but one thing to add to the other positive review: this things sounds fantastic when paired with a tube screamer pedal. if you are an old school player and you understand the subtleties of tone this is a great amp for getting that "feeling" thing going via your volume knob, fingers and select pedals. big muff pie sounds real bad ass through this baby too.
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
I gave the title of my review a phrase from the kennel club show because im doing all dog themed reviews this week. First let me state the obvious. This is a Marshall Amp. I felt that might be a good place to start because some other reviewers seemd to think they were getting a Randall, or a Fender. And come on other reviewer,.. "Its Marshall so you know your getting quality, but it lacks features and its overpriced Junk"..What am I supposed to do with that? Im really glad im old enough to know how to use a Marshall, and what to use it for, cause they really are the best at what they do. What they do is loud, overdriven British "brown" sound.They do it witout breaking down for a loooooooong time and this Marshall does it better than any of the new Marshalls (new being anything since 1990), better than anything since the 2203. I think good tube amps specialize. Thats why they are irreplaceable. I own a great sounding VOX AC15, a Great sounding 20 watt Fender Blackface and this is my current Great sounding Marshall. Its true that another Well known amp maker has a modular preamp system, and that for the price of this 1 ("high quality") Marshall amp, you could buy 3.5 semi disposable preamp modules, but i would rather just save for another really good amp.
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
I have been playing for over 30 years and have owned all sorts of Marshalls, Mesa's, and boutique type amps. Like many of you I change speakers, try different tubes, make mods to my pedals and guitars to dial in "the tone".By chance I got to play the 50 watt version of this head and was immediately blown away with the simplicity and pure tone of the amp, it came home with me. While the 50 watt head sounded great it did not have enough headroom IMO to push two 4x12 cabinets. So I sold it and got this amp, the 2466. If you are simply recording, playing at home, church or smaller venues the 50 watt 2266 will suit you. However if you play loud, need headroom, and are going to push two 4x12 cabinets the 100watt 2466 version is a must.Once home it took only minutes to find that sweet spot. This amp is much like the 1959SLP but I truly like this tone more. Wonderful musical harmonics sustain and classic 70s tone. Best way to describe it is to listen to some early Bad Company or early AC/DC and you got it. I played my single coil American Strat and tones such as Trower and Blackmore came real easy. My Les Paul has '57 pickups and will also easily reproduce Jimmy Page's sound. The foot switch controls the reverb and kicks in another preamp tube. There is plenty of gain in this head and IMO putting any distortion stomp box in front of this thing would be a crime. The matching cabinet has a special speakers voiced for this amp that are wonderful, but I am using Vintage 30?s in my cabs and a stack will rip your face off.It is about time that one of these amp manufactures builds a players amp, one that is no frills, easily controlled at your guitars volume and picks up the subtle picking and fingering to turn it into to cream. This amp is not for you metal heads or players that don't know what great tone is. However if you have been searching for years for that perfect sound with no added effects that can give you classic clean and crunch and even a bit of modern gain, than the Marshall Vintage Modern has to be on your list.Thank you Marshall
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
As the title says. I love this amp.
This has been the best of all my Marshall from the last 40 yrs. I play it with my Ibanez vintage TS808 in front and can play anything.
Great amp
I've had a few bum Marshall heads in my day, but this has been reliable for the past year.
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
Overall this Marshall lacks gain. But many people will do many different things for Gain via Loop or instrument input with probably over a million options out there for doing such a thing. For me I like what Im doing because I don't really need nothing else. The Marshall just didn't cut it next to my 5150 III because I needed more gain and it also has nice suttle channel switching as opposed to any other Amp switch box from any amp I have ever delt with on that note. Even when I was at GC I tried the Marshall 2000 out. Very nice head. This amp had more gain but it still lacked the gain tone and actually didn't have as much gain but it was getting pretty close. Much more than this Vintage / Modern I can say.
I originally got this Marshall to blend a cleaner tone with my Fender 5150 III. But I felt like something was just missing. And then I learned that my fender 5150 III can also do that too. So I took it back to trade it in for the Fender 5150 III.
But if this Marshall is enough gain and tone for you... it is a beautifully built amp and made very well.
The features are some simple tone adjustments. This amp lacks gain unless your running something separate in the front or the loop for gain. If you want more gain this is what you will need to do. It has a beautiful clean tone though. Marshall suggests that you set your tone controls (Bass Mid Treb), all to 1200 straight up. Then adjust your DETAIL and BODY knobs for a sound you like. Then after you do this is when Marshall suggests fine tuning your Bass Mid and Treb adjustments. It has a Reverb that in my opinion is out dated. It works but I really like my Lexicon reverb better. But for the sake of the amp it is pretty nice. The foot control box is alright. it works and is loud. I didn't even use it. I didn't really like it. Mainly because it didn't blend in a suttle way. It will change so much when you step on it no matter how you try to adjust your volumes. The amp is equiped with KT-66 tubes. Like the old vintage Plexi heads. And the Bias Voltage will also need to be adjusted when replacing power output tubes. I don't feel like doing this. I have done it before with my older Marshall JCM 800's and even earlier Models from the 70's when thats the only way it could be done. Not user friendly.
It's quality is fantastic. I notice little things like the tube sockets have drilled and threaded screws with nuts for the tube sockets in the event you need to replace a tube socket. In my Fender 5150 III and in most of the newer modern heads the tube sockets are rivited in. To replace one of these you would have to carefully drill it out and replace it with one and then use little screws and nuts to screw it back in place. I just notice that Marshall does build a beautiful head. There is a quality. For the name Marshall and the way they do manufacture an amp I give them a 10.
I give it's Value a 5. But this is based on my needs. I used to run two Fender 5150 III's. On two 4X12 EVH Cabs with G12T Old Low wattage celestion speakers. Best set up I ever had. I sold one of my heads. Big mistake as I learned after buying this Marshall Vintage / Modern Head to replace one. The marshall has a great clean sound. But the Fender on Channel 1 (Green Ch), has even a better clean sound and even more gain on just channel 1 if I want it that way. So I had to be honest with myself and take my Marshall back to GC and get credit and purchase another 5150 III to get back where I started. So for me I give it a 5. For me, the amp of my choice will do anything and then more than what this amp will do. And changing tubes is just a matter of pulling the old ones out and putting new ones in unless there is something else wrong.

Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
Ok this amp is great if u want the plexi or a modded plexi it gives you both and the tone is awsome your pickups will play a big part on your tone so find ones you like if you want a metal tone just add a metal muf and a xotic booster the booster alone make it just so much fuller at bed room levals for clean and overdrive. its the best sounding marshall i've played!! but there all great Rock ON!!
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
What a great amp. A little pricey but it has one unique sound. Very Hendrix like. You can't get alot of distortion but that not the purpose of it. It seems very well built so far and I'm sort of falling for the purple which at time seems black, I guess it just matters how the light hits it. The amp is very sensitive to the volume and tone knobs on the guitar. You can get many different tone combinations from a good california clean like sound to a Voodoo Chile type of sound. The amp seems overall simple but it can be very tweakable when used right.
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
It is an o.k. amp but.... The randall rmc100c1 is the other amp my guitarist has. Just buy 1 of the randalls and get modules for it.... Its just better... My guitarist made a stupid decision buying this and he could have every randall module there is instead of this. Now for quality this is a marshall.... Come on its gonna be great quality but.. its lacking features and it is way overpriced i think...
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
I was thinking about buying this amp (or rather its 2266c combo counterpart) after hearing some good things about it. In simplest terms, this is my all-time favorite amp, bar none. The pre-amp detail and body controls can be used to shape your sound to great effect, and the mid-boost function is great for an extra jump in thickness. The awesome dynamic range function provides you a reasonable amount of gain when you're playing at bedroom levels (which by the way, is very possible thanks to the master volume knob). When cranked, you get some sweet old-school Marshall 'stank. Very cool amp, very cool sound, my only issue with this amp is a lack of a proper reverb. Even at maximum settings it's so dark and lacking you wonder if it's even on. So, if you want a bare-knuckles, old school Marshall amp (and an onboard reverb is of little importance to you) then I strongly suggest picking up one of these babies. You'll like it.

Horizon dog food
October 29, 2010
Filed under Dog Food Reviews, Horizon Legacy
Horizon Dog Food
Horizon dog food formulas is manufactured and marketed by Horizon Pet Nutrition, a family-owned company based in Saskatchewan. The makers of Horizon Complete and Legacy dog food claim the use of only the best available local ingredients using their own state-of-the-art manufacturing facility which enables them to have control of their inputs or ingredients and products.
Horizon Pet Nutrition has come up with three lines of premium dog food formulas—Amicus, Complete, and Legacy.
Amicus is the newest dog food formula line from Horizon. It is marketed as a superior grain-free kibble diet tailored for small breeds of dogs.
Horizon Complete is an optimum-balanced formula which combines human grade ingredients, essential supplements and antioxidants. There are five Legacy Complete lines available in the market. Four meet AAFCO adult nutrient profiles and one for growth.
Horizon Legacy is a grain-free pet food formula based on a raw diet philosophy. It is a super premium blend of fresh, human grade meats combined with vitamin- and mineral-rich fruits and vegetables, and supplements designed to meet a dog's nutritional needs. The two Horizon Legacy product lines meet the AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages.
Unlike other grain-free dog food formulas, Horizon dog food products claim to have no fillers and potatoes as a carbohydrate source.
The main ingredients of Amicus dog food formulas include fresh human-grade turkey, chicken, salmon, and farm fresh eggs.
Horizon Complete Formulas contain chicken meal, whole grain barley, whole grain oats, and chicken. It also contains alfalfa meal, omega fatty acids, yucca schidegera, probiotics, prebiotics, and chelated minerals.
Horizon Legacy's major ingredients include chicken, salmon, turkey, eggs, and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables like pineapple, blueberries and cranberries. .
It can be seen that the first few ingredients of each Horizon dog food line include protein-rich ingredients. Fresh sources of meat, that Horizon claims to be of human grade, are wholesome sources of good quality meat-based protein. The disadvantage of using fresh meat sources is the amount of water it contains. During processing, water evaporates leaving only a small portion of the meat in the formulation. On the other hand, chicken meal, turkey meal, and salmon meal are better sources of protein because these are considered meat concentrates containing almost 300% more protein than fresh meat sources. One important disadvantage with meat meals is that they are usually sourced from meat products which have been deemed unfit for human food. Thus a meat meal may contain non-wholesome ingredients including bones, tendons, entrails, and other parts of an animal's carcass which cannot be used for human food.
Horizon dog food formulas also incorporate plant-based sources of essential nutrients including peas and flaxseed. These plant-based ingredients are also good sources of fiber that can enhance the digestion and elimination process. Flaxseed is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Pea starch is used as a natural binder for kibble. Pea fiber is a rich source of both soluble and non-soluble digestible fiber which is extracted from pea hulls. Aside from the beneficial effects of the fibers, Pea Fiber is added to increase the bulk. Pea, whether incorporated as starch or fiber, can also add to the total protein content of the feed.
Flaxseed is considered as one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids and soluble fiber. One thing to bear in mind with flaxseeds is that they should be ground first before incorporating in the feed to ensure digestibility.
Chicken fat is a product of rendering. It is high in linoleic acid which is an essential omega-6 fatty acid.
Like any other premium dog food formulas, Horizon coats their kibbles with probiotics which are applied after processing. This practice ensures the presence of beneficial bacteria which can boost digestive and immune system functions.
Chelated minerals have also been added to enhance absorption and utilization in the body.
There are many positive feedbacks from dog owners who have given Horizon dog food formulas to their dogs. They single out the absence of fillers and the use of high quality ingredients with grain-free formulas. Dog owners also remark on Horizon's palatability compared to high-quality dog food formulas. The only downside with Horizon dog food formulas, as stated by many dog owners, is the price which is more expensive compared to popular dog food brands in the market.
Overall, we believe that Horizon is one of the best dog food brands available and give this dog food our highest endorsement.

Terrible scent
By Ethomasden
from Denver, CO, United States
I'd purchased laundry booster powder before, found it scent-free and worked well. I expected this to be the same as bottle does not say that it is scented. However the product is heavily scented. I had to throw it out as I didn't think to save my receipt to return it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

So, you may or may not have heard, but my precious little underdog alma mater totally upset #2 Oklahoma State on Friday. I was actually out of town and offline all evening (I KNOW, RIGHT) so I had no idea until I got home again on Saturday. It's insane. My neighbor said you could hear the crowd at the stadium all the way at our house. Which, to be fair, we don't live THAT far from the stadium. If it hadn't been my mother's birthday, I totally would have been out there tailgating in my Cy hat that I haven't gotten to really wear yet. Ah, well.
We've been having a good season. We pulled off a win against Iowa, who is generally a top-notch team, and managed to pull off some other key victories, despite that our schedule was something from the depths of football hell. Friday's win granted us bowl game eligibility, and while it feels like every single football team in the country goes to a bowl game nowadays, it's no small feat that we managed to pull off a 6-win season. We're not done yet, but our next/last two games aren't really cake, either. Most people had dismissed the idea of a bowl game because of the last three games we had lined up. But... you know. We decided to knock over the #2 team. Because that's how we roll.
Anyway. Our coach has been amazing. He's turning our program around and making this town proud of our team again.
So, in honor of His Coachiness, here are some pictures of us. And by us, I mean me + cardboard cutouts of him from a client event I helped with this past fall. Same thing, right?
And just for funsies, here's a highlights/montage video, including clips of Coach's post-game speech. It's kind of awesome. I may have almost teared up a little.

E-Z-In Tattoo Patterned Surf Shorts
Product Information
Our E-Z-In Surf Shorts are very popular, but for those who want them with a bit more personality and style, we have this range of surf shorts with a patterned side panel.
This particular design features a range of classic sailor tattoos so that when you're out amongst the waves you'll fit right in. We're not going to make any bad pirate references about this, though. We're not that kind of salty cur.
Ah, damn.
Note: We are down to our last few pairs of each size and they're disappearing fast, so if you want some of these, you better grab a pair quickly!
- 100% Cotton Ripstop
- Big Side Pocket with Logo Grommets
- 18″ Outseam
- 'SURF LEASH' Front Velcro Closure
About the E-Z-In Design
The E-Z-In design is timeless. It replaces the waistband with a built-in webbing belt, and swaps the traditional button and zip fastening for a side-mounted velcro strip to ensure a perfect fit every time.
Not only is it comfortable (and removes the need for a belt buckle that digs into your stomach whenever you bend over), but the design allows for up to three inches of leeway from the stated size and comes with a substantial amount of pocket size as a bonus.

|Reduce labor for purchasing, transport and reporting
|Reduce space and risks associated with solvent storage
Payback times can be calculated in two ways depending upon whether you purchase or lease the solvent recycler. When purchased, typical payback times range from 8 months to 3 years depending on the size of your recycler and cost of your solvent being recycled. When leasing, payback savings start the first month.

"Waste Percentage" refers to the percentage of waste in the waste solvent.
"Solvent Recovery Factor" refers to the percentage of solvent expected to be recovered from the waste solvent once the Waste Percentage is excluded. The calculator's default is 95%, since the Solvent Recovery Factor typically will range from 90% to 100%. However, this may vary for specific waste mixtures.

Good afternoon, I read your articles, and would like to know what to do in case you are married and found out that your spouse is masturbating? Ngo baby.
If you catch your spouse masturbating when you are available to pleasure him, and yet he is not coming to you, there may be the possibility that your sexual life together is no longer anything to write home about, if it ever was at anytime. Or there may also be the possibility that he has had a lustful desire for pornography which you never discovered until now. Or maybe he is doing it for some other reason, but the most important thing you have to note is that his act of masturbation is just a symptom of an underlying problem, and a big problem for that matter too. Well like you said, he is your spouse, and I want to believe being your spouse, he is also your friend, and as friends, both of you may sit down and carefully discuss this with each other. He may open up to you areas of his life that he has kept away from you for some time, depending on the way you approach him if it's not with a condemning attitude, and since he feels he has been caught, it may be the only reasonable thing left to do, which is talk to you about it. You may need to forgive him irrespective of what he says to you, and then encourage him to get help, because he may need help since such habits may be difficult to break away from just like that. I don't mind helping out if he needs help. Get help on time too, because it may destroy your sexual life and other areas of your marriage. What is wrong with masturbation anyway? Well "it is simply sex by yourself of which you are the giver and the taker", and it is not the plan for sex. Period!

After graduating with her Master's degree, Joanna Davies went in search for the right job. When a job didn't materialize, she did the next best thing reports Dorset Echo.
The local girl returned to her home town to set up new business, The Gilded Teapot, after graduating a year ago with a masters degree in cultural studies from the University of Winchester.
She said she spent a year trying to find any kind of employment.
"I could only get a couple of days a week part-time work and would spend all the rest of my time trying to find a job."
"I was working at a tea shop myself and had a good relationship with suppliers, so thought 'this is my chance to build something because the jobs market is non-existent.
"There are two industries that seem to be recession resistant, and they are lipstick and tea, so I went with tea," she said.
Joanna said the entrepreneurial spirit is in her blood.
"I come from a family of people who are almost entrepreneurs and have started their own businesses."
