Monday 18 November 2013, Kuala Lumpur – National carrier Malaysia Airlines today announced a Net Loss of RM375 million for the three months ended September 2013 attributed to increased competition impacting yields, higher expenses affected by the weakening of the Ringgit against the US Dollar, increased charges at overseas airports, including higher overflying charges, an intensive advertising programme to build the Malaysia Airlines brand, and increased finance costs.
Despite the increase in operating expenditure, the Group's Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) remains positive at RM52.4 million.
For the nine months ended September 2013, Malaysia Airlines group registered a Net Loss of RM830 million, and a positive cash flow from operations of RM555 million.
Speaking on the quarterly performance, Malaysia Airlines Group Chief Executive Officer elaborated, "Over the months of July, August and September, we saw traffic increase 37%, far exceeding the 20% increase in capacity. This contributed to a 13% increase in operating revenue to RM3.8 billion. However intensifying competition and new competitors with additional capacity in the market has put pressure on pricing, which affected yield."
"Whilst we have made much progress to manage our costs and improve productivity, Group Operating Expenditure was higher by 16% compared to the same quarter last year. This is principally due to higher fuel and non-fuel variable costs which rose in line with the capacity increase, higher airports and overflying charges, and the weakening of the Malaysian Ringgit against the US Dollar", said Ahmad Jauhari.
While the average price of jet fuel fell from USD131 per barrel in Q3 2012 to USD127 per barrel for corresponding period in 2013, Malaysia Airlines' fuel bill increased 16% in Q3 2013 due to higher volumes used with the increased capacity and traffic, as well as being affected by the weakening of the Ringgit against the US dollar.
The increase in operating expenditure is also attributed to a one-off cost incurred for redelivery of aircraft in line with its on-going fleet renewal programme. In addition, the Group intensified its advertising and promotional activities amid intense competition as part of a long-term strategy to continuously strengthen its presence in key markets.
"We are extremely disappointed with these results which emphasize the need to maintain our focus on cost control and drive improved efficiency and performance across all divisions. Our cost reduction exercise will be intensified and accelerated to remain competitive, covering all aspect of the business operations. Malaysia Airlines is committed to delivering an exceptional quality product and service, that is priced to be competitive in the market", said Ahmad Jauhari.
"The airline business environment is tough. Still, we are pleased with how the market has reacted to our newest products, increased capacity, new destinations and increased frequencies. Our Seat Load Factor is at a high 85%, one of the highest in any quarter in the history of the carrier and in the industry, as well as an improvement of 10% compared to a year ago. Using essentially the same fleet count as in 2012, the airline generated an incremental RM362 million in passenger revenue this quarter compared to the same quarter in 2012", added Ahmad Jauhari.
For the nine months ended September 2013, Malaysia Airlines group carried 12.5 million passengers, up 29% from the previous year.
A major objective of the national airline in 2013 was to drive improved presence and recognition of Malaysia Airlines as the value-based choice for the air traveler. This objective has been met. Malaysia Airlines is now flying an additional average of 10,000 passengers daily compared to the same period last year. This clearly demonstrates that the consumer recognizes the quality and value of Malaysia Airlines' products and services.
Corporate contracted business continues to improve year-over-year with the support ofoneworld and increased penetration of both domestic and international business. Changes in corporate purchasing behavior, such as the lowest logical fares, change in Business Class eligibility by many corporate clients from 2 to 4 hours, are placing additional stress on yields.
Increased pressure from international carriers with aggressive pricing from Malaysia is also impacting the market environment. Like all markets globally, Malaysia is seeing intense capacity growth and pricing pressure.
"The airline sector has always been extremely competitive and the ASEAN region is no exception, with many airlines investing heavily in new aircraft and new products and services. This has resulted in a significant increase in capacity and many airlines are competing aggressively for market share."
"The expansion of Malaysia Airlines capacity over the last 12 months was driven through improved utilization of the fleet; not from the addition of new aircraft – signifying increased productivity", said Ahmad Jauhari.
In addition to offering an enhanced guest experience and improved fuel efficiency over time, the fleet renewal will enable Malaysia Airlines to better match aircraft types to growth sectors and market demand, adding to the overall improvement in fleet efficiency.
The new aircraft will see Malaysia Airlines' average age of fleet reduce to 6.7 years by the end of 2013, comparable to notable regional players.
Its group fleet of 147 aircraft, including 6 A380s, has seen the arrival of 16 new aircraft to-date in 2013, including delivery of one new B738 each month in 2013. The new aircraft are part of an on-going fleet renewal programme to replace aging aircraft. The A380s have replaced the B747s, new A330-323 are replacing the old A330-300 and A330-200 series, whilst the B738s are replacing the B734s. This fleet renewal is essential to remaining competitive in the fast growing Asia-Pacific aviation market.
"We are closely monitoring market conditions to ensure the competitive position of Malaysia Airlines. Optimization of all our aircraft and other assets and driving business efficiency is central to our business model", he added.
Malaysia Airlines became a member of oneworld in February 2013, and have seen a positive contribution to its revenue which will grow over the long-term. oneworld's reach recently increased to 880 destinations worldwide with the addition of new member Qatar Airways.
On its own, Malaysia Airlines widened its network footprint and thickened its reach with the addition of Dubai, Kochi and Darwin as new destinations. It has also been aggressive in increasing frequencies to key destinations regionally and to Australia, as well as resuming international linkages from Kota Kinabalu to Perth and Tokyo.
After accounting for depreciation and amortisation of RM228.6 million (Q3 2012: RM149.6 million), unrealised foreign exchange loss of RM86.1 million (Q3 2012: RM93.8 million gain), finance costs of RM121.2 million (Q3 2012: RM49.9 million) and fair value change of derivative of RM4.7 million gain (Q3 2012: RM7.3 million gain), the Group ended the quarter of 30 September 2013 with a loss after tax of RM375.4 million as compared to RM37.1 million profit after tax in the same quarter last year.
Despite the loss in the third quarter of 2013, the Group's cash position remains strong at RM5.4 billion.
The Group's total asset stands at RM22.8 billion, whilst net gearing remains at 1.5 times at the end of September 2013.

The Canisius baseball team was swept in a doubleheader by Fairfield University at the Demske Sports Complex on Thursday afternoon. The Golden Griffins lost 11-6 and 8-5 to the Stags to fall to 38-15 overall and 14-9 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Game One – Fairfield 11, Canisius 6
Fairfield (20-28, 11-12 MAAC) scored six runs in the first inning on four hits, taking advantage of two Canisius errors. The Stags capped the scoring with an RBI triple from Sal Ciccone. Fairfield then pushed across single runs in the second and third innings before the Griffs got on the board in the bottom of the third. Junior Ronnie Bernick hit a solo homer to right-center, and junior Jimmy Luppens had an RBI double later in the ining to make it 8-2.
The Stags came right back and extended the lead back to eight runs with two more runs in the top of the fourth. Canisius answered with three runs in the bottom of the fourth, getting an RBI single from Bernick and two-run home run from junior Ryan Coppinger. In the fifth, the Griffs got a leadoff single from Luppens, and sophomore Connor Panas followed with a double to get two runners in scoring position with no outs. Senior Brooklyn Foster lined a ball to deep center, which was caught by Alex Witkus for the first out and shifted the momentum in the inning. Luppens scored to make it 10-6, but the Griffs wouldn't score again in the game.
Junior Garrett Cortright (10-3) took the loss, allowing 10 runs, six earned, in four innings. Junior Mike Tolsma allowed one run in four innings while redshirt senior Billy Martin threw a scoreless ninth inning.
Game Two — Fairfield 8, Canisius 5
Fairfield jumped out to a quick lead for the second time on the day, stringing together five singles to start the game and build an early 3-0 lead. The Griffs answered right back with four runs of their own in the bottom of the inning. Luppens had an RBI single, junior Jesse Kelso had a sacrifice fly, Gruarin had an RBI double and Foster scored on a passed ball to give the Griffs a 4-3 lead.
Freshman Alex Godzak settled down after the five straight singles to start the game, retiring the next 11 batters he faced. The Stags would take a 7-4 lead in the fifth, scoring four runs on six hits and included an inside-the-park home run from Jake Salpietro. The Stags pushed across another run in the seventh to go up by four, and Canisius scored its only other run on an RBI groundout from Luppens in the seventh.
Godzak (8-3) took the loss, allowing seven runs on 11 hits in 4.2 innings. Redshirt freshman Iannick Remillard allowed one run in 2.1 innings of relief and struck out three.
Canisius will wrap up the regular season with the series finale against Fairfield on Friday. First pitch at the Demske Sports Complex is set for noon.
Notes: Fairfield won the series from the Griffs for the second consecutive season and won the series in Buffalo for the first time since 2005… All eight of the MAAC doubleheaders played by Canisius this season were sweeps. The Griffs won five of those eight doubleheaders… The Griffs go 5-3 in MAAC series this season… Coppinger was 4-for-7 on the day with two walks… Luppens had four hits and three RBI… Panas reached base six times with two hits, three walks and a hit by pitch…

What is the difference between scamming and spamming?
Hi Jerry, Your question probably puzzles many people. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a scam as "a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation". The act of scamming has been in existence for eons. I guess Italian mob or mafia have been the most successful at this. Anyways, with the advent of technology and email, scamming also came into the hi-tech world. This when spamming got invented. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a spam as "an unsolicited usually commercial email, sent to a large number of addresses". From this definition, it doesn't seem like spamming has any illegal connotations.
Yet, it does!
To understand how spamming works. You simply have to go to your spam folder. Everyday, I get hundreds of spam emails that my spam filter automatically directs into the Spam folder. After I open one, there is usually a link to an known/unknown website, an advertisement from a legal/illegal website, or a well crafted message from some unknown king in a remote African country. As you might have noticed, spams vary from legal to illegal and they can have very diverse subjects.
Famous Spams
Some of the popular and successfully spams are as follows:
- Work from home scams
- Nigerian scams
- Viagra scams
- Lottery winning scams etc
- Fake job offer scams
People that react to such emails are motivated by greed and, to a large extent, stupidity. The problem is that as humans, greed comes naturally to all of us, and this is why we see spammers thriving. Just remember, if something is too good to be true, then it's probably a scam!
Tips to Reduce Spam
To reduce your spam, report emails as Spam. When you do this, the Spam filter of your email client will automatically redirect all such emails to the Spam folder. Another good practice is not to subscribe or give your email. Now, I realize you can't always refrain from giving away your email ID. However, if you are filling up a form or subscribing to a web site, consider the reputation of the site first. For example, Amazon.com would not give away email IDs. Similarly, subscribing to WorldStart is also safe. The reputation of the site matters. There are those sites that'll share your email ID with other websites, and then suddenly you'll have a barrage of unsolicted mails, i.e. SPAM! For more tips on how to avoid spam, read the following WorldStart tips:
- Report Spam E-mail [1]
- Spam Gourmet [2]
Lastly, since you asked about spamming, you should also know about hacking and various other Internet security issues. Steve, from WorldStart, has written a fabulous eBook that discusses these and other relevant Internet security issues. Read the Internet Security Survival Guide [3].

Hi there,
my Ubuntustudio 12.04 system doesn't recognize the Echo Audio Fire 4 interface.
The FireWire controller is recognized:
lspci | grep FireWire
04:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments XIO2200A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) (rev 01)
lsmod | grep -i firewire
shows the new firewire stack is loaded.
I checked with my Windows 7 system. Controller is recognized and Windows states it works properly. Echo provides a console program that should recognize the Audio Fire device. Well, it does and it doesn't. For a few seconds it's there, then it's gone again.
So, not the Linux firewire stack seems to be the problem, but somehow the connectivity between the controller card and the device.
Ideas, anyone?

Palms are a very large group of flowering plants that comprise their own family, the Arecaceae. There are estimated to be 2,600 species of palms in 200 genera. Palms are ancient plants, having existed since the late Cretaceous period, which ended 65 million years ago. Palms occur in areas where water is easily available and are not generally found in very arid or very cold regions, such as temperate zones.
The few palms currently found in temperate or dry regions are remnants of a time when moist tropical weather was more widespread. Palms are very diverse and widespread in moist tropical regions, with a wide diversity of species in tropical Asia and America.
Deodar cedars grow in the typical pyramid shape of conifer trees. Most deodar cedar trees we see in cultivation are around 70-80 feet (21.2-24.2 m) tall, but they have the potential to reach 250 feet (76 m). They are also a very broad tree and can easily spread to 50 feet (15 m).
Palms are woody perennials, most species having a single, prominent trunk but others may have multiple trunks or small, compressed trunks. Some palms are climbers and have slender stems. The leaves of palms are distinctive and generally form a crown at the top of the plant. Palm leaves (also called fronds) are palmate (divided into lobes that diverge like fingers), pinnate (similar to a feather with leaflets extending from each side of the axis), or entire (with no separate segments). Palms generally produce small flowers, often in large numbers, that are pollinated by small insects such as beetles, flies and bees. Palm fruits are extremely important to the survival of fruit-eating birds and mammals that live in moist tropical forests.
There are two species of palms listed under Appendix II of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora), meaning that trade is restricted for these species. The World Conservation Union (IUCN) produces Red Lists of threatened plants and animals. There are 204 species of palms listed as endangered in the 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants. There are two main threats to the survival of palms: habitat destruction and overharvesting. In cloud and rain forests, where many palm species are found, habitat destruction is a severe problem. Many palm species are restricted to tropical islands and are affected by both habitat destruction and the spread of non-native species of plants. Palms are important to people for a variety of daily needs such as food and building materials. Some of these uses of palms are currently sustainable and others are contributing significantly to the endangerment of palms. The Species Survival Commission of the IUCN has a Plant Action Plan concerning palms. The action plan will identify which are sustainable uses of palms and will look at alternatives to those that are currently unsustainable. Woodland Park Zoo encourages an appreciation of these majestic plants by exhibiting several species of palms throughout its bioclimatic zones, including the Tropical Rain Forest.

By that I mean Asada and Kim were able to skate, Kwan was able to skate, and everyone who had been there did everything planned cleanly and as well as they could. I believe in that case the results would have been with their top content: Gold- Slutskaya (if she did atleast one triple-triple) Silver- Arakawa (if she did the two triple-triples she was doing in practice) Bronze- Cohen 4th- Asada (with triple axel and triple-triple combos) 5th- Kwan 6th- Ando (with triple-triples) 7th- Kim (with triple-triples) 8th- Kostner (with triple-triple) 9th- Rochette 10th- Suguri On the other hand if Slutskaya and Arakawa did not attempt the triple-triples as they often did not anyway: Gold- Cohen Silver- Asada (assuming she does triple axel in long and triple-triple combinations in both programs which she always does) Bronze- Slutskaya 4th- Arakawa 5th- Kwan 6th- Ando 7th- Kim 8th- Kostner 9th- Rochette 10th- Suguri

If you can't measure it, you can't understand it; if you can't understand it, you can't control it.
I've been looking for this jacket for a LONG time, so if anyone has one they would part with, I would really appreciate it.
I have got a Planet Earth Men's Large Snowboard Jacket & Pants (Jackson Pro)
Cream and Burgundy Accents. Condition: 8/10
Pictures Link:
I only wore this setup for one season and lost weight and needed a better fitting pants and jacket combo. I was a 38 waist and large jacket and it fit me snug. This one is an 8/10 and has no rip or tears just minimal dirt stains on the heels of the pants. Jacket has no problems other than some small scuffs or blemishes, all of which are no larger than an inch in length. The pants are cream colored. Thanks for looking.

Have a NIB never put on a board limited edition Union Bindings. Only 168 made world wide. Size M/L (6-10) Asking $400 or trades for anything Mk1 related.
WTB Thule snowboard rack.
Just the single holder, not the gigantic 4 holder or whatever the bigger ones are.
Thanks for any info, or if any one has one!
I have a 161cm Arbor Mystic snowboard up for grabs. I am not positive what year it is but it is either a 2003 or 2004. It was only used for one season because i decided to go with a smaller size. Its been sitting in my house for a while because i thought i might want to use it again but i haven't. It has the Arbor limited edition Bamboo strut. Nice flat back finish with alien graphix in the center of the board. The top is in pretty good shape. There are a few little flaws but nothing serious. The bottom has normal wear from one season of riding. No major gouges out of it and when i finished the season, the board was still flying down the mountain and popping nice. I would like to get $80 for it.

I just got myself some new snowboard pants for the season and asked my wife to get me a new board for Christmas. What would you recommend? I am definitely willing to buy used so I'll keep my eye out for your posts. Where are you snowboarding this season? My buddies and I took a trip of a lifetime last year to the Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas. It was amazing! But I don't travel like that annually. I might just get to Breckenridge once...but that will be sweet.

$450 + shipping is a deal you don't see often on these boards.
Nice deal on that NS. Bummer you couldn't ride it much this year. Same goes for my NS Raptor.

Hey guys,
I bought these goggles brand new without realizing that Jamie Anderson is a woman rider I am a male rider. These goggles have a little heart imprinted on the lens in the top left corner (looking into lens) and sparkles/glitter around the band. I don't want them and unfortunately I cannot return them, because I bought the goggles through an outside rep of Electric at my work (I'm a snowboard instructor at Liberty Mountain Resort in Carroll Valley, PA) and my rep's contact at Electric does not offer exchanges/returns. So I'm asking for what I paid, which is $130. These are a pro model goggle so they are a little more expensive than the standard EG2's. I prefer local pickup but will definitely ship if you cover the cost. They're mint, took them out once too look at them when I first got them, then took them out a second time to take the picture. They're brand spankin new, in the box, tag still on, and are sick goggles for a female rider. AMAZING peripheral vision in these things. I bought two sets, these Jamie Anderson's and the Lime EG2's. I wore the Lime EG2's for the last few weeks in the season, so I can attest to how good the peripheral vision is in this model of goggle. Please let me know if you're interested!!

Jerry Seinfeld Recreates "Who's On First" on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon"
Posted Friday December 21, 2012 2:40 PM GMT
His comedy roots go deep, and Jerry Seinfeld paid tribute to legends Abbott and Costello with a special performance of "Who's On First" last night (December 20) on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
Joined by Billy Crystal, announcer Steve Higgins, and head writer A.D. Miles, Jerry and Jimmy pulled off a hilarious rendition of the classic bit.
The sketch was definitely a new take on the famous ordeal, which confuses everyone involved thanks to players named "Who," "What," and "I Don't Know."
And with all the stress of the holiday season, perhaps Seinfeld & Co are the perfect comic relief- check it out below!

Exercise and physical activity can help promote health and maintain independence, and this is as true for older people as it is for any age group. To encourage baby boomers—and their parents—to get active, the NIH on October 19 launched Go4Life®, a national exercise and physical activity campaign for people age 50 and older. The effort is led by the NIA, in concert with key initial partners from across NIH, HHS, and the private sector,
Senator Mark Udall (D-Colorado) describes the importance of exercise for older people at the Go4Life launch.
Go4Life was introduced during a Capitol Hill briefing on exercise and aging, which featured a presentation by NIA Director Dr. Richard Hodes on aging research and the health benefits of exercise. The presentations ended with a lively exercise activity, demonstrated by seniors attending the session, in keeping with the theme of the day. Senator Herb Kohl, D-WI, Chair of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, and Senator Mark Udall, D-CO, Senate Special Committee on Aging hosted the briefing. With regular activity, "the challenge is how to get started," said Sen. Udall, a lifelong exerciser who includes daily workouts and mountain climbing in his regimen, "I look forward to being a partner in bringing fitness to older Americans," he stated.
The Senator and other participants in the briefing expressed dismay at the low rates of physical activity and exercise in the U.S. population, including older people. Despite proven health benefits, only 30 percent of people aged 45–64 say they engage in regular leisure-time physical activity. This falls to 25 percent for those ages 65–74 and to 11 percent among people 85 and older.
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin focused on the need to integrate health and wellness, not just the treatment of disease, into the U.S. health care model. A big part of that is physical activity and exercise. "This Administration's National Prevention Strategy centers on a broad agenda to help Americans practice active living," she said. "Go4Life is a new tool to help make being healthy easy and fun for older people."
Speakers at the Go4Life event included (left to right): Colin Milner, International Council on Active Aging; Jim Whitehead, American College of Sports Medicine; U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Regina M. Benjamin; Dr. Chhanda Dutta, NIA Division of Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology; Dr. Richard Hodes, NIA Director; Robert Hornyak, Administration on Aging.
Dr. Hodes cited specific benefits of exercise for aging and reducing the risk of a number of chronic diseases. Findings from the Diabetes Prevention Program, for example, demonstrate that exercise, for the oldest group of participants, actually proved more effective than medication in preventing development of type 2 diabetes among people at risk. His message: "You're never too old to increase your level of physical activity. We want to reach out to older people who traditionally have not embraced exercise and show them how, even some with physical limitations, they may be able to exercise safely."
To do that, Go4Life brings together evidence-based resources on health and aging with a variety of agencies and organizations working with older adults in communities. It creates a national Go4Life Team to encourage older Americans to make exercise and physical activity part of their everyday lives.
NIA convened some of the nation's leading experts on aging, exercise and motivation to develop Go4Life. For more than 2 years, an NIA Task Force on Exercise and Physical Activity was involved in all aspects of the project, beginning with development of Exercise & Physical Activity: Your Everyday Guide from the National Institute on Aging, the core evidence-based resource for the campaign.
The center of Go4Life is an interactive website (www.nia.nih.gov/Go4Life [1]) with information for individuals, families and friends, organizations and health care professionals. It features specific exercises, success stories and free materials to motivate the growing numbers of older people to start exercising and keep going to improve their health and achieve a better quality of life.
Robert Hornyak, acting director of the Center for Policy, Planning and Evaluation of the Administration on Aging (AoA), said Go4Life activities and resources might be ideal for caregivers, whose needs are a focus of AoA programs. "We have more than a million caregivers over age 65 and their challenges are immense," he noted, as caregivers sometimes neglect to take care of themselves as they support loved ones. AoA fosters an aging services network with low-cost, nonmedical services and support, and will be working closely with that network to inform these caregivers about Go4Life.
Such networking will be key to the success of the campaign, and initial efforts to reach out to other organizations have been met with a welcome response. So far, 11 federal agencies, including 6 NIH institutes and centers—NCCAM, NHLBI, NIAMS, NIDDK, NIMH and NINDS—are initial Go4Life Team members, along with 29 private and nonprofit organizations. The full list of current Go4Life Team members can be found at www.nia.nih.gov/Go4Life [1].
Trainer Sandy Magrath leads older volunteers and event attendees in exercises that can be done anytime anywhere.
Each participating organization will promote Go4Life activities by distributing messages and materials to their members, employees or customers and linking to the Go4Life website. Others also may print and distribute Go4Life materials to enhance print distribution to the older population and health care providers. Further, partners may directly sponsor events or community activities aimed at engaging older adults in exercise and physical activity as the campaign moves forward. Along with federal agencies, private-sector and nonprofit organizations participating include corporations, insurers, health care providers, nonprofit organizations, senior centers, fitness professionals, libraries and others.
Representatives from two organizations, who were part of the NIA Task Force, described their commitments to exercise and older people and to the new campaign. Jim Whitehead, executive vice president, American College of Sports Medicine, noted that the Task Force worked to bring organizations together to make Go4Life a success. Colin Milner, CEO, International Council on Active Aging, pointed out that exercise and physical activity, promoted through efforts like Go4Life, present an opportunity to change people's lives by making them stronger.
NIA is inviting additional federal agencies, as well as other public and private organizations whose interests and activities involve health, aging and exercise, to join the Go4Life campaign and will continue to reach out to potential partners.

Beach erosion
09 February 2014 , 10:12 AM by Rob Minshull
Cyclones and king tides cause havoc and destruction in many ways, but they also erode and damage our beaches.
The recent Cyclone Dylan washed away several beaches across the region and at Lamberts Beach, near Mackay, the land has been completely washed away right up to the lifeguard tower, leaving it dangerously close to a sand-cliff face.
So are our beaches are in danger of disappearing? Professor Andrew Short is the Director of Coastal Studies Unit at University of Sydney and the author of numerous books about Queensland beaches, including Beaches of the Queensland Coast and Beaches of the Northern Australian Coasts: The Kimberley, Northern Territory and Cape York.

The UK graduate market offers an important pool of qualified candidates for employers across all sectors. While lack of experience typically leads to entry-level jobs, graduates are thought to be 15%-20% more likely to attain work than candidates without a degree. Finance, marketing and law companies offer some of the best career opportunities for ex-students and graduate recruitment agencies are necessary to search and supply the best personnel available to their clients in these industries. These could be for permanent, contract and temporary positions.
Due to the prominence of entry-level roles and graduate schemes, salaries for candidates are typically below the national average. The average university graduate salary is usually around £15K-£20K, although experience could see them rise to senior and management positions and this will in turn result in higher earnings. London will usually prove to be one the most financially rewarding locations, whereas the North West is home to the lowest paid staff.
Graduate recruitment agencies are able to offer advice and assess candidates before recommending personnel to companies. Training schemes offer some of the best opportunities to enter the workforce, although 35% of these are centred around London. Graduates are expected to be versatile for a range of careers and their CVs should highlight any job skills developed during university or work experience, as well as strong communication and interpersonal expertise.

The Renaissance Hotel, site of AARC Summer Forum 2013, as seen from SeaWorld
This year the AARC Summer Forum rolls out another great new venue and features powerful new sessions for respiratory care managers and educators. We're back in Orlando—the vacation capital of America. Visit your favorite theme park, enjoy the onsite water park, or simply relax at the hotel spa. Regardless of your interests or tastes, there's always something for you to do in sunny Orlando.
The AARC Summer Forum presents a new perspective for managers in 2013. You won't want to miss the 2 new lecture/workshop symposia in View from the C-Suite, where representatives from two national consulting firms will be on hand. One addresses the preparation needed in working with consultants, and the other provides practical advice for understanding, creating and maintaining safe, high reliability cultures.
As educators, you'll be particularly interested in CoARC's Meet the Commission where you can learn about any new or pending changes to accreditation standards. And the NBRC will be back with results of the 2012 Job Analysis and Content Outline, and provide a comprehensive look at the new (written) combined multiple choice examination for the CRT/RRT.
Come a day early to maximize your investment with the pre-Summer Forum sessions. A new special session—"Clinical Preceptor and Inter-Rater Reliability Workshop"—offers an interactive workshop that will reinforce Practices of Effective Preceptors with emphasis on adult learning, mentoring, and evaluating learner performance. Target Audience: Educators, Managers, and Hospital-based Clinical Instructors.
In addition to sessions, take advantage of this unique opportunity to:
- Network and share ideas with other managers, educators and AARC Corporate Partners.
- Interact directly with Program Faculty and thought-leaders in your profession.
- Learn of any current or pending changes with CoARC and the NBRC.
- Discover what's current with selected book publishers.
- Glean best practices from colleagues who can help turn Challenges into Opportunities.
And, of course, you'll earn up to 17.2 hours of continuing education credit (CRCE®) credits, too.

Riot police have been sent to the city of Malmo to deal with riots which have rocked the southern Swedish town over the past two nights. The immigrant center of the city were the scene of riots after police removed some squatters from a building that had housed an Islamic Center which Muslims refused to evacuate after the landlord refused to renew a lease. Ahmed Baccar, a 20 year old unemployed Palestinian, commented the police "think they can appease us by joking with us, but they hassle us all the time, they arrest us for nothing, and then they are surprised that we fight back." The fighting back involved torching cars and throwing Molotov cocktails at the police and sending garbage cans flying from exploded fire crackers.
As in every riot involving young people, frustrations, real or imagined, are on the lips of disaffected young boys. The lives of immigrants in virtually every nation reveals similar patterns of oppression and anger– adjusting to a new society in which one struggles to learn customs as well as language. Economic events caused by the American financial fiasco are impacting nations throughout the world and recent newcomers are probably the initial ones who are suffering an economic decline.
I am the child of immigrants and in my New York City neighborhood the enemy was always the police who we believed oppressed us and hassled us in every day life.

A few weeks ago, I walked across England.
On something called the Coast to Coast trail, that goes from the Irish Sea to the North Sea in northern England. It's also called the C to C, the C2C, or whatever else that allows the name to fit on the few trail signs that exist.
After you've hiked the 190 miles or so through coastal cliffs, rocky mountains, moors, and many pastures full of sheep, and you're sitting at "The End" in Wainwright's pub, you can't help but feel truly special.
IBM is pretty special these days when it comes to benchmarks.
IBM is the very first to publish on the new SPEC virtualization benchmark. IBM just published an outstanding result on SPECjEnterprise2010, SPEC's new full system end-to-end Java benchmark. This first Power Systems result, using POWER7 systems, adds to the portfolio of excellent IBM results on this benchmark, all using WebSphere and DB2.
IBM is #1 in both of these benchmarks.
I wasn't first and I surely wasn't the fastest to walk across England. But it was by all means truly special.

'Death of the Desktop'
On desktops, "people still feel they need lots of local power and storage, even though their CPUs idle and they never back up their stuff," blogger Robert Pogson told LinuxInsider.
However, "experience with netbooks will kill off the desktop within a few years," Pogson predicted. "It makes little sense unless you need all those drives, noise, heat, space and burning money. Those who really need power will use a thin client connected to a server cluster."
Looking ahead, "expect GNU/Linux to do just as well on notebooks as it did on netbooks," he added. "2009 was the year of GNU/Linux on the desktop as far as I am concerned. 2010 could well mark the death of the desktop and overweight notebooks."

WASHINGTON -- A coalition of health organizations and a consumer watchdog group have submitted comments to the Food and Drug Administration asking that bulk vending machines be included in proposed federal calorie-labeling requirements.
The group also pushed for calorie postings next to each product facing in a vending machine rather than a single list posted adjacent to machines, a solution proposed in the current rules.
The petitioners, which include the American Heart Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Center for Science in the Public Interest, presented their requests to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on July 5, the final day for submitting public comments on the proposed rules.
The FDA drafted the regulations in April as part of federal healthcare reform legislation. That law requires anyone owning or operating 20 or more vending machines to disclose the caloric content of food and beverages sold through them. Separate rules apply to chain restaurants with 20 or more units. The FDA plans to issue its final rules by the end of 2011, and has proposed that they become effective six months later.
The coalition of health organizations and CSPI asked the FDA to include bulk vending machines in the rules, contending that excluding such equipment from the legislation would leave 20% of vended food unlabeled. (VT has reached out to the National Bulk Vendors Association for comment.)
The group also recommended that the FDA require vending operators to post calorie information right next to the product it describes rather than on an adjacent sign.
In its comments to FDA, the National Automatic Merchandising Association proposed several methods for giving consumers complete information about a product's nutritional content that do not require affixing individual labels to machines. The vending association also emphasized that the wide variety of equipment types and designs in the field represents a compelling argument against mandating that signs conform to detailed specifications for shape, size and typography. NAMA also urged the agency to allow sufficient time for compliance.
The health organizations also recommended extending the definition of "restaurants and similar establishments" to include all venues that sell food, such as movie theaters, bowling alleys, casinos, stadiums, hotels and airlines. The law, as written, states that only businesses that dedicate more than 50% of their floor space to foodservice are required to post calorie information.
In June, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), who championed the labeling legislation in 2010, also wrote to FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg asking that the agency extend the range of establishments selling food that are to be included in the forthcoming regulations.

Successfully finished the fifth hall of the level 55+ instance Infernal Abyss, not bad considering we didn't had Zaahir weapons. :P
Iro is more like an Afk or chat with friend game, it gets really old after lv.100s atleast there is an offer to choose to kill 400 monsters twice a day for exp and log off. If it always Latale or Talesweaver I wouldn't mind grinding but in Iro it gets boring fast!
Tera looks so fun even in low pvp

Got my apartment/studio
New mech!
And made it to the Abyss
May I present you guys with my newest toy. :P
It's so majestic, isn't it?
If the crafting wasn't so terrible by needing hours and days to complete an item it could have me play it for a long time.

I'm the first in our guild(around 90 members) who got this eidolon so I'm quite happy, it looks so bad ass + it's an awesome PvP eidolon. It has an attack which does dmg to the enemy + the enemy can't heal for a few seconds, epic.
To the guy who wanted to know how to get an eidolon, you can get it from Temple of Eidolons in Cresnet Hill(or watever its called), Otherworld: Skandia(lvl 50+ instance), and/or guild hall eidolons(your guild need to be atleast lvl4). Then you collect fragments and combine 10 of the same type for a full key of an eidolon.
I got Tigerius, Quelkulan, Kotonoha, Bel-Chandra and Yarnaros so far.
I've been playing 7 Days to Die lately, and I must say, though the game is $35, I would've paid $60 for it. Everything I look for in a zombie sandbox game, and it's still only in alpha! (of course, this is my personal opinion and others may disagree)
Initially found this house and looted the hell out of it, but then realized that the structure of the house had a good layout for a defense, so this is what it looked like after I got to work.
Three layers of walls, three layers of spikes that you don't want to fall on
Zombies kept beating down my door, so I made a little maze for them to go through. Most of the time, they just beat down the metal and go straight for the door though. May need to upgrade that wall from forged iron sheet to solid iron walls
My lovely living room. Don't let it fool you, it looks clean now, but once night hits, there are zombie bodies all over the carpet. Cleaning up is such a hassle

Been having problems getting into wow (stuck after getting to ~90% loaded) according to forums I'm not the only one .... So decided to try out Aura Kingdom , and god damn so far it's very fun xD anyway want to ask for a tip should I keep the eidolon exp thingys for evolution (you need 30 of them) or should I just lvl her ? So far been lvling her
For me the driving force of the game is the flashy skills , and when you do combo with your eidolon it's freaking epic seen on talent board that you can get cross wep skill that prolly looks even more sick but for now sticking to dual wield :P (though gotta admit skill where you rise slashing with dual blades and then firing a canon at the enemies sounds pretty epic )
Also at what level the game slows down ? cause so far seems you do a few quests and level up and what's the cap ?
Last edited by Lexaz; 02-08-2014 at 03:21 PM.
Game slows right down at about 49 when some or most people will run out of quests, the cap is 75 but knowone has reached it yet, although it says ?? to anyone above 66? i think due to a bug, unless it got fixed.

my new eidolon from q
well, killed my first two Frontier-only bosses so far.
Dyuragawa wasn't that bad outside of a sneaky counter-attack and hip checks. Rukodiora actually disappointed me a little for one of the newer elder dragons. Magnetism gimmick was neat, but outside of that...meh.
Messing around.
lvl 35 , guess it's enough for today :3
All characters on the account share eidolons, except starter ones, if you return your sigrun you can use it on a noob when she reaches 25 although if it's higher level it will be lowered to the noobs level and slowly raise back up as your noob levels.
No characters/classes have mana/energy of any sort, only cooldowns, which is why bards are kind of the best pvpers atm, or at least I think so.

NY Times distorted public opinion; overstated Bush's supposed advantage on terrorism
Research ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
Despite the fact that a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll revealed little difference in public opinion of the abilities of President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry to handle terrorism, The New York Times made a misleading and unsubstantiated claim in an August 4 article: "Polls show that Mr. Bush's handling of terrorism remains his only clear advantage over Mr. Kerry."
The article offered no polling data to support this claim. In fact, in the entire article, there wasn't a single mention of any specific polling result having anything to do with Kerry.
The only specific polling results the Times mentioned were from a recent CBS News poll showing that the percentage of people who approved of Bush's handing of terrorism has dropped nine points since March, while the percentage who disapprove has gone up eleven points. Those results certainly don't substantiate the Times' claim that Bush enjoys a "clear advantage" over Kerry on terrorism.
As Media Matters for America noted on August 3, a new Washington Post/ABC News poll found that Bush holds a three-point lead (48 percent to 45 percent) on this question: "Who do you trust to do a better job handling the US campaign against terrorism?" That three-point lead is well within the poll's margin of error and is not statistically significant -- certainly not the "clear advantage" the Times claims Bush has.
And according to a Newsweek poll released on July 31 and taken over two nights (before and after Kerry's acceptance speech), "They [respondents] also just barely prefer Bush to Kerry (48 percent to 43 percent) on handling terror and homeland security, issues on which they had preferred the president by 21 points in March. This is significant because the top issues among voters are terrorism (21 percent), the economy (19 percent), Iraq (18 percent) and health care (15 percent)."

Discussion in 'December 2008' started by Dlev59, Nov 28, 2008.
For all the things ppl can criticize Curry about, no one can say he's asleep at the wheel.
The Spurs ain't what they used to be, but their core is still intact. Nice to see the Pistons play a classic defensive game against a classic defensive rival. Nice game by the Butler. We need a butler emoticon.
Iverson still has a lot to learn about being a Piston, and it doesn't relate to his play, but how to deal with (errm.. ignore) Sheed's mannerisms during a game. When Sheed was fuming after the tech Iverson kind of got in Rasheed's grill and told him to chill. Sheed responded by telling AI to stop jacking shots and play some D. Apparently that's what that whole awkward exchange was about. Keep in mind that's was approximately the time AI was standing in the corner, trying too hard to "be one of the guys" and not "the guy that needs the ball in his hands." While it kind of looked like a chemistry meltdown, it was just Sheed in the heat of the moment. It sure did look ugly though. ~~~~~ Anyways it was a good win. I was as distraught as anyone after the first half from the starters. Luckily for us Sheed's shot was falling in the fourth. I feared Tony would go off today, but he actually didn't do much of anything after the 1st. And enough with the cotdamn point forward bullcrap! There's nothing like watching AI sit in the corner like a lost puppy. Hopefully Stuckey is showing Curry that he and AI are good enough to run the offense on their very own. BTW, when AI is just "there," his net worth is negative.
I've been reading various recaps and i'm a little disappointed. I thought AI had a good game, but from what i hear we still had the AI in the game; other team goes on the run, AI out of the game; we go on run. The general consensus i'm getting is that AI was not so good through 3 (bad shots), but he did make some nice plays in the 4th. And TP didn't light him up so that's a plus. Anybody have video of this exchange? How do you know that's what happened? I agree; It takes Tay out of the offense, and he's been playing too well this year to do that.
Great highlight video; YouTube - Pistons vs Spurs 12-02-2008 Highlights
Great find. Thank you very much.
I love that block by Prince, not so much because of the block, but because of Sheed just standing there flatfooted catching the blocked shot like it was a pass. Just like Curry drew it up.
I don't know if this was a revelation. I think I have revealed my gender earlier. You are just too slow.
See that's what I like the ladies on this forum, they don't back down to the guys, they come back with nice rebuttals. Good one NYPF Blue
Jammer...it's time to come out of the closet. Don't be shy.
I'm a shim. Holding it in behind this keyboard has been killing me.

If your goal is to become a trusted advisor to the audit committee and executive management in the critical areas of risk assurance, governance processes, quality assurance, or control self-assessment, the CRMA designation is for you.
Job analysis and stakeholder surveys have indicated a key element to unlocking internal audit's full potential can be found in a professional's ability to provide advice and assurance on risk management to audit committees and executive management. In response, The IIA developed the CRMA designation.
The standard CRMA Core Exam will be a 100-question, multiple-choice exam, with a seat time of two hours. These exams will be instantly scored like all of the other IIA exams, and will be administered at Pearson VUE testing centers around the world. All Certification in Risk Management Assurance (CRMA®) eligibility requirements will apply.
The CRMA is designed for internal auditors and risk management professionals with responsibility for and experience in providing risk assurance, governance processes, quality assurance, or control self-assessment (CSA). It demonstrates an individual's ability to evaluate the dynamic components that comprise an organization's governance and enterprise risk management program and provide advice and assurance around these issues.
The CRMA is one more mark of professional distinction for internal audit practitioners. Earning the CRMA will assist you in demonstrating your ability to:
The CRMA exam is available through computer-based testing, allowing you to test year-round at more than 500 locations worldwide. Candidates are able to sit for exams at any IIA-authorized Pearson VUE testing center worldwide, regardless of whether the testing center is located in your hometown or country. To locate the testing centers nearest you, visit the Pearson VUE website. You must apply and register in The IIA's Certification Candidate Management System (CCMS) prior to scheduling an exam.
If you need help getting started, refer to the six steps to certification an internal auditor should review when making the decision to become certified in the profession.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thank you, I will do that first. Would be much nicer than changing out a water pump right now
Gotcha. So the coolant level is fine.
I doubt your heater core is the problem, although on certain cars, depending on how the cooling system is set-up, a plugged core can cause both your issues. I seriously doubt its that though, especially since you said you flushed it a while back.
If you are hearing a grinding sound from the water pump, I would start there. Even if it isn't leaking externally it can be failed. That bearing can fail, causing your noise, in some cases the impeller of the shaft can come loose (therefore not pumping much), and in some extreme cases the impeller can just rot away (doubt its that one..).
Before that though, I might check to make sure the radiator isn't plugged up completely. Disconnect the lower and upper hose and using your hand as a sort of seal around a garden hose, stick the hose in the upper neck and see how forcefully water comes out the bottom. Just to be safe.
|Sorry, poorly worded. No the bottle was tipped slightly, leaning towards the engine at an angle. The coolant was fine yesterday, about halfway between minimum and maximum but the leaning bottle made the coolant slosh out the cap a bit, when it overheated I assume. The level was above max until it cooled a bit then was back to just below midway.
|Reading your previous posts, I am having trouble understanding if your car was indeed low on coolant. This would cause both issues. You said that the bottle was turned upside down somehow?
|jetrinka thank you, I think I'll have to learn more about how the coolant circulates, I grew up believeing that the thermostat could cause this and to me it seemed logical that if the thermostat was closed no circulation would occur, therefore no heat in the car. I haven't had any issue with the other things you mentioned, that I've noticed. How can I check these things, or should I just assume it's the water pump alone? And how likely is it that the no heat/overheating issue will happen again if it's caused by another factor that has righted itself, at least for now. Could the ridiculously cold weather have cause the blend doors to stick? I know the coolant level and mix is ok, and if the heater core was plugged it is unplugged now. I flushed the system in the summer, but this is the first time I've ever had any problem with it
There is some misinformation here that should be cleared up.
A stuck closed t-stat will indeed cause a car to overheat. But it alone will not cause a no heat condition. The no heat condition will be caused by a lack of coolant, a plugged heater core, blend air doors not moving, etc etc, but not a stuck closed t-stat.
I'm sure the thermostat was stuck, last I started and warmed the car it didn't overheat and I had heat in the passenger compartment. I bought one to replace it, have done them many times. But I believe my water pump is going too, even though it isn't leaking. I can now hear the typical bearing grinding sound, though not yet loud and only occasionally. And when I went to town for the thermostat the car's temp gauge kept going up and down, to just over halfway. The coolant level never dropped, so an air lock is unlikely. I haven't driven it too hot, and won't. I really wouldn't want the head gasket or block to become a problem too.
The water pump isn't a small job and isn't in stock here anyway. I need to get my son to and from school tomorrow for exams. Is there anything I can do to buy time, I bought a bottle of cooling system conditioner but not sure if it's actually worthwhile. Or do I have to just pull over and let it cool down. It's supposed to be bitterly cold, -38C with wind, until Friday. I don't have a garage or block heater. Any suggestions?
|Pull the thermostat and put is in warm water and get it up to just about to boil and see if it opens up or not. Good trick.
Put your hand on the radiator. is it hot? even if your water pump was bust if the thermostat was actually opening then thermal conduction would heat up the radiator to be warmer then the -20F temps. You should also be able to have the car running and squeeze the feed tube from the motor to the radiator and you should be able to "feel" if their is water pressure or flow.
A water pump has fairly small vains/fins for the water circulation. Its also on the shaft that the pulley is on. usually the bearing will fail and will leak at the bearing. Dont know of anyone having the propellers on the pump brake and all at once.
Pull the thermostat and put is in warm water and get it up to just about to boil and see if it opens up or not.
|Thermostat is stuck. If you've never changed one it's actually really easy just pick one up, in and out done about a 10 minute job. about a $10 part at least when I did mine

The Ecosystems Climate Alliance is an alliance of NGOs committed to keeping natural terrestrial ecosystems intact and their carbon out of the atmosphere.
We work to ensure this is done in a way which is equitable, transparent, consistent with the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities, and which takes place alongside deep and urgent cuts in fossil fuel emissions.
We advocate a range of policies which will avoid degrading terrestrial carbon stores, protect ecosystems and biodiversity, and restore their carbon carrying capacity and ecological function, as essential components of greenhouse gas mitigation and adaptation to climate change. This must be supported by robust monitoring, fair and effective governance, proper enforcement and action to curb the demand for forest and agricultural products.
The international forums we work within include the following:
This publication informs on management and finance options to achieve emissions reductions and enhance other vital ecosystem services from peatlands.
Peatlands play a critical role in climate regulation, storing twice as much carbon as the entire world's forest biomass and emitting large amounts of carbon when drained. Peat carbon stocks are distributed worldwide. The mitigation potential is very significant, but possible future possible emissions as well if no rapid action is taken to protect and restore them. The UNFCCC provides significant opportunities to safeguard and restore these concentrated and important reservoirs of terrestrial carbon.
Closing LULUCF loopholes
The Forestry and Land Use sector (LULUCF) is responsible for at least 30% of global emissions and has huge emission reduction potential. Loopholes in coverage across land and forests of developed countries currently undermine emissions reduction and the integrity of targets. Ministers, here are your options on the table to contribute to ambitious emissions reductions with LULUCF.

< Jan. 23, 2013 > -- Vaccinations have helped stem and even stop the spread of serious childhood diseases, such as measles and polio. They continue to be one of the best tools parents have to keep their children healthy. Yet, a new study suggests that too few U.S. children younger than age 2 are receiving all the shots they need.
Researchers from Kaiser Permanente reviewed the vaccination records of more than 320,000 children born between 2004 and 2008. They found that close to half of the children - almost 49 percent - were considered undervaccinated. That means either they did not receive all the recommended shots or they received some of them late.
An even more concerning fact? This trend seems to be increasing. Researchers found that one in eight parents chose not to follow the recommended vaccination schedule. As a result, more children are facing longer periods of time without being properly protected from childhood diseases.
"While a large majority of parents in the U.S. choose to vaccinate their children, a growing number of parents are concerned about vaccine safety," say the researchers, whose study was published this week in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. "They choose to vaccinate their children according to alternative schedules."
Children who aren't properly vaccinated may face greater health risks. Researchers found that children not fully vaccinated were less likely to see their doctor. They were also more likely to be hospitalized compared with children who received all their shots according to the standard schedule.
Other research has found that children who aren't vaccinated are nine times more likely to become infected with chickenpox. They also face a much higher risk - 23 times more - for whooping cough, a highly contagious disease that has been on the rise. It can be especially deadly for children younger than 6 months.
For more information on health and wellness, please visit health information modules on this website.
Vaccines work by exposing the body to weak or dead versions of disease-causing germs or viruses. The immune system then builds up resources to fight those bugs in the future. Your child's health care provider can give you an immunization schedule specifically for your child.
The CDC recommends this schedule:
Hepatitis B: birth, 1 to 2 months, and 6 to 18 months
Rotavirus: 2 months, 4 months, and 6 months
DTaP: 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15 to 18 months, 4 to 6 years
Tdap: 11 to 18 years (preferably 11 to 12 years) for children who have had the DTaP shots; 7 to 10 years for children who haven't had all of their DTaP shots
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and pneumococcal vaccine: 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 12 to 15 months
Polio: 2 months, 4 months, 6 to 18 months, and 4 to 6 years
Flu: Yearly beginning at 6 months
Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and varicella (chickenpox): 12 to 15 months and 4 to 6 years
Hepatitis A: 12 to 23 months
Meningococcal (MCV): 11 to 12 years; booster shot at 16 years
Human papillomavirus (HPV): 11 to 12 years
Special schedules are available for high-risk children or those who fall behind on their vaccines.
Always talk with your health care provider to find out more information.
