Migrants cost the NHS £45k every day
NHS bosses are spending £45,000 a day on translation services for patients, it has been revealed.
Primary Care Trusts have spent £32.2million over the past two years on interpreters – enough to pay the wages of 1,700 nurses.
Bengali and Catonese are the most commonly offered languages, followed by Farsi and Lithuanian.
Tory MP Nick de Bois, who uncovered the figures through a Freedom of Information request, said: "If I was in
Spain, France or Germany and needed translation I would have to pay for it.
"But here it seems we are happy to blow millions on translation costs. It is bonkers."
A Department of Health spokesman said: "NHS organisations have a duty to follow equalities legislation.
But here it seems we are happy to blow millions on translation costs. It is bonkers
"This includes making sure communities can understand information about the trust's services and that patients
and clinicians can communicate with each other."

text: I wish I could tell you all the issues I have to deal with while our center manager is on vacation. I can however tell you my story. Yesterday I had to call in because my wife had a high fever (104) and needed to visit a doctor. We have 4 kids ages 10, 7, 5, and 1. Needless to say an adult had to be home to care for them. My normal center manager is on vacation so we have a nice fill in center manager that lost her center while he's gone. When I placed the call to inform them I would not be in. I was greeted with our temp center manager using intimidating tones and remarks about my unavailability that day. I told her I was needed at home and hung up. The next day ( today ) I was given a warning letter for attendance. I am always at work early. Never R-O ( I need the money ) and rarely ever need to use a sick day. My attendance is easily top 5 in my center, perhaps even the building. ( 4 centers ) Naturally, I filled a grievance for the warning letter, but I also added a article 37 grievance as well. ( for the intimidation I got on the call in ) I asked about the 5 sick days and 5 personal days that I had. She stated that the sick days simply meant I would be paid the day, but still was subject to discipline. Has anyone ever heard of this? Seemed to me that she was trying to look important in hopes to get a new gig. I will be happy when she's gone...for good

Highways and elevated expressways are not the right solution to meet the increasing mobility demands of a growing urban population
This article by Prashanta Khanal was published on The Kathmandu post on 19 October, 2012
We live in a city that respects those who ride in cars but not those who walk or cycle. We have been building more space for cars and motorbikes than for people to live in. Streets are often designed and built in a way that ensures the swift movement of vehicles, not people. Already-scarce urban spaces have been turned into parking lots and wider roads for private vehicles, while there is a lack of space for our children to even play and walk around.
No wonder—the way we are building our city is fundamentally flawed. Unless we shift the paradigm of urban development and redesign the city by putting people and sustainability at the centre of development, the urban problems are not going to go anywhere. Continue reading »

— Pastor Tim Chaddick
The Pastor is talking about Romans 7:14 – 25, but if you think about it, this is applicable despite your denomination.
He explains that the desire to do wrong (sin) lies within all of us, but if you have a good heart (spirit = faith in God and his tenets) then you are a decent human being (will be forgiven and saved).
To remedy our errors, he said we must recognize our mistakes with humble humility and also with hope, a sense of optimism, that in the future we will make the right decision.
Sounds simple, but I believe it's a very powerful message. The explanation doesn't excuse our nature, but explains how we can be good people who make honorable choices.

INDEX: How 3D printing works; 3d printing methods.; Applications.; Printing human body parts.; Click illustrations to enlarge
3-D printing has introduced a technical revolution,
it allows engineering prototypes to be produced rapidly and inexpensively.
The science fiction of producing human body parts is becoming a reality.
If the paper feed in your ink jet printer ever got stuck, you saw the same line being printed over and over as the drying ink built up. That in essence is the principle of 3D printing. In normal ink-jet printing, the 2D (two dimensional ) printing program steers the printing nozzle from right to left and instructs the deposition of ink droplets to form a line of drawing or of text. When the paper advances the width of the line, the next pass of the nozzle deposits a slightly different pattern. Thus line by line the complete text or the drawing is formed. After the whole page has been printed, a new sheet of paper is inserted and and a new text or a new drawing is created
In 3D printing, after the first layer has been completed, either the vertical position of the nozzle is raised at least 0.1mm (0.004 inch), which is equal to the thickness of good quality paper, or the supporting table is lowered an equivalent amount, and the process is repeated. In order to build an object the controlling drawing for each layer changes very slightly.
Look at the third slide in the slide show. It shows how a coffee mug would be made with 3D printing. Special CAD (Computer Aided Design) software produces a series of drawings of cross-section slices of the mug, each corresponding to one layer of the printing process. For a 4 inch tall mug up to a 1000 such layers are required. After completion a curing (hardening) process for the plastic may be reuired. If the layers are thicker, the printing time is shorter, but smoothing and polishing will be needed.
A laser scanner may be used to develop the software to copy an exiting object, for example to produce spare parts for an obsolete machine.
Typical standard manufacturing methods are subtractive, that is material is removed from a base form by machining with a lathe, with a drill, by cutting, planing or broaching. By contrast 3D-printing is an additive process, because material is added, layer by layer.
Initially 3D printers were very expensive, as much as $500,000. Now, in 2013, printers capable of printing small objects are available for around $2000, for example Replicator 2 from MakerBot. Hobbyists may buy Do-it-yourself kits for a few hundred dollars.
For more than half a century, the Wake Forest Medical Center, in Winston-Salem, NC, has been carrying out innovative medical research. Dr. Anthony Atala, director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, recognized the possibilities of utilizing 3D printing to build human tissue and body parts. A urinary bladder membrane printed from a bio-degradable material, then coated with the patient's own bladder cells, After the initial cells had multipled and become a new bladder, it was successfully inplanted ten years ago. Since then several more perforated bladders have been repaired the same way. There is no danger of rejection because the patient's own bladder cells are used to grow a new bladder tissue.
This drawing (click to enlarge) illustrates how a vein may be printed using a patient's own cells. Droplets containing hundreds of cells are injected through the printer nozzle, supported by a gel which later dissolves. Human cells naturally bond together.
Printed jaw bones, cheek bones, prosthetic limbs, even a part of a skull, have all been successfully used to help patients suffering severe damage, whether because of accidents or sickness.
Most recently, at the University of Michigan, a baby was unable to breathe because its windpipe was collapsing. A splint was printed and inserted into the windpipe. Now several months later the baby is breathing and growing normally.
Organovo. Ltd, San Diego, is building bio-printers for universities (and Wake Forest) and also conducting research on printing human tissues including replacement skin for burn victims.
Presently there is a severe shortage of replacement organs such as kidneys, livers and hearts. Frequently donated organs are rejected and discarded. Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine has printed a miniature kidney that is functioning correctly.
Dr. Atala hopes that within his lifetime, it will become a reality that, replacement organs printed using the patient's own cells will be successfully developed and implanted into human beings.

Merit hiring in Illinois
Another day, and it's another outrage in state government.
State taxpayers have another reason to be angry with how their tax money is spent following an eye-opening news report in the Chicago Sun-Times.
The newspaper story reported on a $110,000 state prison official whose only apparent expertise for his job is a lengthy criminal record. The story goes into great detail about the background of 44-year-old Xadrian R. McCraven, but reveals very little about how he came to hold a series of public jobs despite an arrest record on charges that include arson, illegal gun possession and attempted robbery.
No one is taking credit for arranging McCraven's employment. Even if it's unclear just who arranged for him to take a spot on the public payroll, it's no great mystery how it happened.
Public employment in Illinois is supposed to be merit-based, not a result of political connections. But no one really believes that politics doesn't frequently play a key role in who ends up with high-paying state jobs.
What's interesting is that McCraven was dismissed last year from his job at the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services for job-related misconduct. He filed a federal lawsuit to get his job back, but the lawsuit was dismissed.
Nonetheless, the Quinn administration rehired McCraven to avoid what it described as costly grievance procedures with McCraven and his union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. Instead of being fired, McCraven accepted a 10-day suspension in exchange for six months of back pay. The settlement also arranged for McCraven to be transferred from his old DCFS job to a new job as a senior adviser to the parole department within the state's prison system.
Records show that McCraven made multiple campaign donations totaling $1,500. His name also showed up on a former Blagojevich administration database listing the names of thousands of politically connected candidates for jobs, transfer and promotions.
Records cited by the newspaper also show that McCraven is not shy about challenging adverse employment decisions. He once sued the city of Chicago for not hiring him as a police officer. That lawsuit was dismissed after the judge in the case cited a police department background check that found McCraven "to be a drug dealer, gang member and supplier of guns to other gang members."
Some people may question how someone with such a checkered background managed to gain lucrative employment in two different state agencies. That's an easy one to answer. Government in Illinois is the functional equivalent of an open sewer. What's worse is that it shows no sign of changing for the better any time soon.

Thanks for adding "high-paying state jobs". The salary is indicative of the PSA (Public Service Administrator). They are management, not the career front line employees. They were there during the Thompson, Edgar, Ryan, Blago, and now Quinn administrations. They have either a "campaign donation", family member, or "friend of a friend" connection. Ever look at how many employees on the state transparency webpage have the same surname as Bill Cellini? The problem that has developed is that these appointees supervise the career employees. That generally means that the front line employees supervise themselves when they have a PSA like that. The PSAs clamored to join the union because they had not had a raise for five years. Now, Quinn's administration wants them back out of the union. Quinn wants them back without union interference so he can replace them with his second term appointees.
Pay to Play has operated throughout Illinois governmental history. Gov. Olgivey stopped patronage for new hires. Gov. Thompson tried to change it back to patronage; but the Rutan decision stopped it for the front line employees. That was when the state employees decided to unionize. They were fed up with the shake down. Hiring, and promotions were controlled by the GOP. The employees were both republican, and democrat; but they knew that they had to band together to protect their jobs from the increasing patronage. The U.S. Supreme Court decision on Rutan vs. Illinois, and the union stopped the patronage except for the management level. The patronage has been restricted to the PSAs, assistant directors, directors, and all the others in management since that time.

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer corporate partner David Crook has resurfaced at US firm White & Case following a year-long break from fee-earning.
Crook is the third lateral hire for White & Case's London office this week following its raid on Mayer Brown for banking partners Jacqueline Evans and Lee Cullinane (15 December 2010).
London executive partner Oliver Brettle said: "We're in the business of offering clients top legal talent, coupled with global reach, and we have a clear focus on developing the excellent global pool of lawyers we already have, as well as attracting high-calibre partners that fit with the needs of our clients and the international work and culture of the firm."
Crook has been a partner at Freshfields for 10 years and specialised in domestic and cross-border M&A deals, particularly in the energy, oil and gas and chemicals sectors.
All three of this week's new hires have got magic circle pedigree, with Evans and Cullinane joining Mayer Brown last year from, respectively, Allen & Overy and Clifford Chance following restructurings at both firms.

Perhaps the leaders of the progressive rock scene out of Canterbury, England in the '70s, Soft Machine's stamp on the scene was far from accessible. In fact, the rules that the band played by weren't really rules at all. Progressive rock and rules have always had a testy relationship, but Soft Machine were able to take that concept to a whole other level. Where was all of this coming from? Well, the outfit was essentially the brain child of Robert Wyatt. Listed as an influence by many artists over the years, including, not insignificantly, Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears, Wyatt's mind at the center of the band was able to further the intricacies of their overall center, their reason for existence.
The opening track on their third record, appropriately titled 'Third', released in 1970 is "Facelift" and immediately it becomes clear just why these guys were considered by many to be one of the foundations of jazz-fusion. The title of the track isn't at all insignificant or misleading. You do indeed feel as if you're receiving a facelift while listening to it. The sonic tonality of Soft Machine's onslaught very much possesses the sensation of melting. Quite possibly, the reason for this is the fact that the band purposely thrusts this sensation upon the listener. On their first two records, though, the band would only hint at the full-bodied sensationalism that was to come on this third outing. Perhaps an appropriate way of viewing this record is to treat each of the four tracks as part of a much larger phenomena. Each one builds to the inevitable conclusion. Before you reach orgasm, as most of you well know, there are many sensations that pop up along the way. Like an eccentric orgasm, Soft Machine doesn't go straight for the jugular. "Slightly All the Time", at least initially, backs off on pace pushed ahead in the previous track. Like the sensation this record is being compared to, though, it doesn't forget its central theme or purpose. The calculations and mathematical precision of this record are of such an astute profundity that it's often difficult to fully intellectualize what it is you're experiencing, much like… well, you get it. By the time the band break into "Moon in June", it's clear that they aren't planning on slipping up on this record. Let your eyes not be mistaken, this is truly an example of what music is capable at the peaks of its power. Existence of God found in each carefully executed arrangement. Never fear, the moment you've all been waiting for happens during the final track "Out-Bloody-Rageous", the record's undisputed highlight and, of course, this isn't surprising giving what this record sets out to do.
This is a flawless record of carefully crafted, well executed, not-of-this-world proportion. Soft Machine manage to make Yes sound like the Monkees on this record and you know what? Thank God for that. Many find Soft Machine to be too much. This is poorly-thought out judgment. What this band was, at the peak of their powers, was something truly extraordinary; something that didn't understand or even care about the idea of conventional musicality. The jazz and classical sensibilities ring true throughout the full duration of this record and are, at the end of the day, certainly more telling to the band's center of gravity than good ole rock n' roll music. So, sit back, relax, and take your time with this one. This record is sure to be a slow-burner for most everyone, especially those unfamiliar with the Canterbury scene or progressive rock music as a whole. If you stick it out, though, you just might find a little something about yourself that you didn't before spinning this one. Perfection.

"Once again the best breast conference I have ever attended." - Shawn Reesman MD, West Virginia
"Dr. Tabár was masterful."
"Great practical approach to the subject."
"Excellent course! Beautiful slide and great rad/path correlation."
"Dr. Tabár as always - so dynamic and engaging. I love the way he thinks
about breast cancer. Beautiful cases. Really helpful for daily
screening cases - it has change and improved my practice!!"
"I am a devoted follower and have recently finished your delightful course in Scottsdale. I think it was either my 4th or 5th course. I use your course to tune up my eyes. I was so happy when you started the screening course again, it is so useful. It makes your work and it is not passive learning.
Just wanted to tell you the 3rd case back to work was a subtle asymmetric density, worked it up and had subtle architectural distortion. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up since it looked exactly like the screening cases. Most of the guys in my group would have passed on this one. Went to US and found the cancer. You continue to push back on cancer and I thank you for that. Keep on with the good fight."
- Dana Murakami, M.D. Las Vegas
"Every course
I have been with Prof. Tabár is fantastic. Someone of his caliber will never be
found again. His courses are inspiring generations to be the best they can be."
"Excellent course, will do it again."

This month I am participating in the Brown-Bag Challenge where the Food Network's Healthy Eats blog is teaming up with fellow food bloggers to host a month-long initiative to eat consciously and save money by packing a lunch each weekday instead of eating out. You can join here and share what you're eating on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #brownbag.
I am really excited to be part of this Challenge, considering that I am pretty passionate about carrying lunch and snacks with you, even on weekends sometimes, as a way to reclaim time, delicious on-the-go lunching, and, in my case, a way to make life with a modified diet (in my case gluten-free and usually vegan) a bit easier and more efficient.
Today's lunch and two snacks:
Romaine lettuce, red peppers and hemp seeds, with some quinoa for topping. I made the quinoa last night by cooking a cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water in the rice cooker (on the quick setting) and, when the cooker chimed, added a cup of leftover tomato sauce while the quinoa steams an additional 10 minutes.
Chocolate chia pudding topped with some frozen raspberries which, when I broke out the pudding as a late-morning snack, had gotten all tart and melty, perfect to stir into the pudding.
My latest snack obsession: raw cacao nibs and raw cashews and some raw almonds. I am oddly brand-specific about all three. Truth be told, it is the cashew and nibs combination that I am mad about, but I felt the need to add almonds for variety's sake.
And that, friends, was a wonderful lunch.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Three California companies that paid no state income tax last year have been awarded $5-million in tax refunds, angering critics who say the cash-strapped state cannot afford them.
The California Board of Equalization, which oversees state tax policy, voted this month to give the refunds to Conexant Systems of Newport Beach, Grundfos U.S. Holdings of Fresno and Lightwave Electronics of Mountain View.
The board may also consider refund requests from 22 other companies totaling $77-million as early as next month.
State tax lawyers said the credits were intended to attract and keep manufacturers in California; lawmakers let the credits expire last year after they failed to create expected job growth. But the board ruled the three companies applied for the refunds before the program ended.
"To actually be giving a gift to companies that paid no taxes is a slap in the face of every taxpaying citizen in the state," complained Doug Heller of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights.

Severing from Food:
Fish, Meat, Fragrances and Spices
One begins to put effort into the practice of stillness; proficiency comes at a later stage.
At first one must sever from certain foods namely fish, meat fragrant and spicy products These include dispersing vegetables such as chives, onions, garlic, chillies, leeks and ginger, and other pungent-acrid foods as well as food products that have are carrying blood such as meat and fish.
This is because animal products are chiefly sinking in nature and have a downward action due to their flavor. Furthermore they are unclean and turbid and carry a great energetic field, namely that of the animal inevitably leading to a coarse post-heaven Qi, i.e. a heavy breath. It will be difficult to meet the requirement of regulating the breath to the attributes of thin, even and long. The blood has attached the life-factor of the dead animal; it embodies the biological field of the animal which is incompatible with one's own body. Therefore the macromolecules are hard to break down for the digestive tract.
The other aspect at play is the equality of all living entities. In Daoism all life-forms are respected and valued. Therefore one of the five basic and foundational precepts in Daoism is to not kill life.
It is hard to obtain a life-form in this world. When one eats meat a foreign energetic field enter one's body and influences one's own field.
Fragrant and pungent-spicy products are utilized as medicinal substances under different circumstances as they disperse outwards and upwards. In Chinese medicine terms they release and effuse the exterior, i.e. driving out pathologies through the skin via their stimulating effect. Their nature chiefly is light and floating and those foods inevitably lead to the dispersion of post-heaven Qi as well as preventing the accumulation of Qi. This is deemed counter-productive as one's objective is exactly to gather Qi in the lower Cinnabar Field.
Another aspect is the discomfort these substances cause in the stomach and intestines.
One must know the reasons for the existence of those principles and rules of food avoidances.
Fish, meat, fragrant and pungent-spicy foods are forbidden and one must display special perseverance in a pure vegetarian plain and bland diet.
Furthermore food should not be too oily, too salty and it should not have too much stimulus, in order to eradicate all former flavour preferences and in order to lose the die-hard old habits.
One must let go of one's food desires.
If one eats a bowl of noodles but adds a ton of condiments, how can one let go of dietary cravings?
"Do not eat past fullness! Eating more than one's fill injures one's spirit.
Furthermore it impairs the Spleen and Stomach.
Do not starve yourself! Taking fasting too far injures one's Qi.
The diet must be harmonized and moderate,
half full – half hungry,
regulate yourself well.
When hungry one should increase meals,
so the hunger can then be contained.
This phase is -the Dao of the Diet-.
The future is for the cultivation of the truth.
It is unacceptable not knowing about this.
Cultivators of stillness and internal alchemists must know this principle.
People who want to elevate and sublimate themselves
must be aware of this.
People who want to unify with higher self
must be conscious about this.
People who want to connect with higher self and higher dimensions
must be familiar with this notion.
People who want to merge with the higher realms
must fully comprehend this prerequisite.
People who want to awaken to the Dao
must adhere strictly to these regulations and food taboos."
This content therefore originates from Shang Yang Zi's research, advanced studies and cultivation. He physically verified it step by step.

PARIS (AP) – Officials say an armed high school student was arrested after a shooting in a school in southern France that left at least two wounded.
A French police official would not elaborate on what weapon or weapons the student was carrying. The official was not authorized to be publicly named.
The government minister for victims affairs tweeted that two people were wounded and all the students are now safe.
School shootings are rare in France, which remains under a state of emergency after deadly Islamic extremist attacks.

They have improved dramatically over the years, and modern "pneumatic" (air-filled) tires usually do this well, as long as they are in good condition. Careful design of the strengthening cords and webbing keeps the tire the right shape, no matter how it is squashed or pulled. The tread (the pattern of grooves) pushes water out of the way and keeps the tire in contact with the road.
A flat tire once meant a roadside repair.
There was no spare wheel, so the tire had to be levered forcefully off the wheel rim, and the inner tube repaired.
Once cars carried a spare wheel, the wheel could be swapped and the flat repaired later
by a professional.
When early tires went flat, motorists often repaired them by "vulcanizing" with a sulfur mixture.
The first tires were solid rubber. They gave a hard ride, but never punctured and were used on trucks long after cars went pneumatic.
Long used on bicycles, pneumatic tires were first fitted to a car in 1895. They gave a much softer ride and soon replaced solid tires.
Smooth early tires skidded wildly on damp roads. So drivers tried leather wheel covers and different tread patterns.
Early pneumatic tires had an inner tube and were narrow. They were also pumped up to high pressure to help keep them on the rim.
By 1930 cars were using wider "balloon" tyres that ran at much lower pressure than earlier tires and gave a softer, smoother ride.
In the postwar years, strong, broad, airtight wheel rims made an inner tube unnecessary. Now low-pressure, "tubeless" tires are almost universal.
In earlier tires, strengthening cords ran diagonally across the tire ("cross-ply"). Now most cars use "radial-ply" tires with cords running radially out from the wheel's center.
In dry weather, modern racing cars use huge, smooth tires called "slicks" to put as much
rubber as possible in touch with the track for good grip.
Evolution of Tyres
Solid Rubber Tire
Composed of only firm rubber without
the need for air, the solid rubber tire is used mostly
for slow-speed vehicles because of
its poor shock absorption ability.
The Beginning of Tire History
Gasoline Carsand the Pneumatic Tire
In 1888, Benz invented the first gasoline car, equipped with unique metal tires covered with rubber and filled with air, resulting in the pneumatic tire. The public, which was accustomed to hard, metal tires, believed the pneumatic tire to be no less than revolutionary. Popular use of the pneumatic tire began in 1895 and it was featured in an automobile race from Paris to Bordeaux.,
Tread Tire
Tread is a part of a tire that comes in direct contact with a road surface. Made out of thick rubber, tread protects carcass and breaker inside a tire. Road surface friction coefficient increased with a development of the tread tire and today it is produced in various patterns.
The Development of Tire Materials
Popularization of Automobiles and the Industrialization of Synthetic Rubber
In late 1913, Henry Ford introduced the first conveyor belt assembly line to the world, marking the start of the first stage of automobile popularization.
In 1931, American company Du Pont successfully industrialized synthetic rubber.This development allowed tire industry,which had been dependent on natural rubber, to increase tire quantity and quality, ushering in a turning point in tire production.
Balloon Tire
Balloon tire, a type of low-pressure tire is used in various types of automobiles to increase its contact area to road surface with low Internal air pressure.
Tire Structure Development
Structural Development of Automobiles and Tires to Save Fuel
In order to relieve a burden of sky-high oil prices brought on by the oil shock, it became popular to reduce the size and weight of existing car models. Many manufacturers eventually employed the front-wheel drive
method for their cars. With a development of the tubeless tire in 1903, the resulting weight reduction contributed significantly to the saving of fuel.
Tubeless Tire
Radial Tire
Firstly invented in the 1950s, the radial tire refers to a type of tire in which the cords, carcass plies are vertically arranged to driving direction. Because of lower deformation of radial tire than bias tire during driving, radial tire has better fuel efficient. Uniform contact of tread in radial tire to road surface offers good driving stability, especially on high-speed.
Increased Tire Safety
The Second Stage of Automobile Popularization and Safety
Run-flat tire was developed in 1979, which is designed to enable the vehicle to continue to be driven up to at 80 km/h without replacing with new tire when punctured.
Run-Flat Tire
Even with scratches or holes caused due to obstacles or tire abrasion while driving, and the resulting deflation, the run-flat tire is able to maintain a constant driving speed. It protects the driver from various accidents that can arise in emergency situations.
To meet these demands, wheels have evolved steadily since the pioneering days, when wheels were big simply to give the car sufficient clearance over rutted roads. The first car wheels were adapted either from horse carts and were very heavy, or they came from bicycles and were weak. The car wheels of today are made from pressed steel or light alloys and are small, light, and strong.
Carrying a spare wheel in case of a flat was still such a new idea in 1912 that it was a major selling point for wheel and tire manufacturers like Dunlop.
Horse-cart origins are unmistakable in this World War I truck wheel. The spokes are cast iron, but the rim is wooden. The wheel is immensely heavy, but strong enough to carry heavy guns. Wheels like this, and the bolt-on wheel to the right, were called "artillery" wheels.
Flat tires were common in the early days, so the launch of the Sankey wheel in 1910 was a godsend for drivers. It could be unbolted and replaced with a spare in minutes. made of pressed steel, it was strong and light compared with wooden wheels.
For many years, cars used either Sankey-type steel wheels or wire wheels descended from the bicycle. Early wire wheels were very light and the spokes absorbed some road shocks. But the simple radial pattern of spokes meant they were not very strong. On larger wheels the spokes would bend and "whip" at speed.
Detachable wooden rim pieces, or "felloes"
Cast-iron hub
Iron binding
Wire wheels are costly to make and, since World War II, most mass-produced cars have had pressed-steel disc wheels. These are light, strong, and, above all, cheap to make. The wheel pictured is from a 1949 Morris; modern wheels are very similar.
Long after wire wheels were dropped for cheaper cars, they were used on sports cars for their lightness, strength, and good looks. This is from an early 1960s Jaguar E-type.
In the 1950s, some racing cars had expensive disc wheels made from special alloys. This fits the same Jaguar as the wire wheel on the left, yet is even stronger and lighter.
Tough, ultralight wheels cast from aluminum and magnesium alloys are now widely used, especially for sportier cars, with a broad rim for low-profile performance tires.

Phantasy Star IV
Review by CMorrison
Reviewed: 11/01/99 | Updated: 11/01/99
I like this game...I like it a lot.
*To Sega of Japan* YOU WILL MAKE PHANTASY STAR 5, YES, YOU WILL OR AN UNGANGLY MOB OF PHANTASY STAR FANS WILL TRAMPLE YOU.
Gameplay(7): Nothing spectacular for a RPG, it's even a step down for the Phantasy Star series. Turn based combat. However there is a "macro" where you can combine spells to make devistating effect.
Story(8): There's not much to do on the barren desert planet of Motavia...except fight monsters! Chaz and Alys are summoned by the academy to kill some monsters in the basement, but when they find out that the academy is actually breeding the monsters themselves, it bring on a chain of events, eventually leading them to peril, and possibly the end of the world.
Audio(7): The tunes in this game are alright-sound effects? Who listens to sound effects anyway?
Video(8): Graphics aren't as smooth as they could of been, but the anime type sequence make up for it. Those scences are a nice blast of color compared to the monochrome blacks, whites, and yellows.
Replayability: It's an RPG! You make the call here!
To buy or to rent: Remember when this one came out, it had a hefty price tag of $100? Luckily it's 1999. You should be able to find it in a bargain bin at Wal-Mart or somewhere. Do yourself a favor and buy it.

To The Learning Lab Staff and Tutors,
We want to thank you for giving Abbey Sweeny the proper instruction that has enabled her to raise her grades, improve test scores, reduce some of her test anxiety, and increase her level of confidence. The Learning Lab staff has given Abbey instruction on Biology, Geometry, English and Spanish. Abbey used to get D's and F's on Biology tests and now she is achieving B's! Abbey's Biology grade has improved from a O to a B … a high B!!
Her Geometry grade has improved from an F to a B!!! In English, Abbey is learning how to better organize papers and understand Shakespeare. Her English grade has improved from a O to a high C (I expect we'll see a B in the near future!). Abbey struggles with Spanish …her tutor has given her encouragement and confidence. Abbey's spanish grade has improved from a O to a C.
Both tutors are teaching Abbey good study skills, study strategies and test strategies. OK, statistics aside …Abbey WANTS to come to The Learning Lab! Do you know what a blessing that is? She works hard and is determined to learn! She feels better about herself because all that hard work is finally paying off …thanks to The Learning Lab!
Abbey used to work hard, fail, and feel bad about herself.
Now Abbey works hard, succeeds, and feels good about her accomplishments!!!
Thank you … thanks to the staff and tutors at The Learning Lab!
With much appreciation … Kathy S. …the proud parent!!

To Whom It May Concern ~
I started sending my daughter to The Learning Lab in June 2010. Although she was not failing math it was always a constant struggle for her and she was losing her confidence quickly. My thought was to give her the chance to review her math and have more confidence by the time she started the new school year.
Well, it turns out that she enjoyed learning so much that she was excited when it was her day to go to the Learning Lab. She also asked me to continue to send her there after school started so she could get that extra help she needed. I am happy to say she started out as a C-student and is now a strong B student. The teachers at the Learning Lab have worked with my daughter to find the best way to help her understand and not be afraid of math. She is very proud of her accomplishment and gives the credit, not only to herself, but to the Learning Lab as well. The Learning Lab has been very flexible with her switching days so that she can have a study session the day before a test and that has helped greatly.
I have seen a huge improvement in my daughter's math grade, her confidence in her knowledge of math, but most of all in her confidence in herself. I couldn't have asked for more.

Dear Learning Lab,
I am please to write this letter to thank your staff for their dedication and professionalism. I would like to mention that the assessment provided to me by Ms. Denise King helped my husband, my son's school teachers and me see a clear picture of where my son Antonio stood academically and what where the areas of concern with this ability to learn.
Antonio is currently in one of your programs which will enable him to develop the necessary skills that he will need to learn for the rest of his life if completed successfully. Antonio is also being tutored in Math as well as our daughter Reyna. Since they've been in this program they seem a lot more confident and as a result, their grades have improved. I'd like to mention that Antonio was failing several classes and his behavior at school was not the best.
He was being viewed as one of the "trouble-makers/class-clowns". Since he started attending the Lab, he has not only gotten better reviews from his teachers but he as gone from an "F" in math to a "A-" , I appreciate the fact that the Lab has been very flexible and allowed my daughter to receive math tutoring in a as-needed basis. I am also grateful that assistance is provided to Antonio in other subject areas such as Social Studies, Language Arts, and Science etc. Again, thank you for all you do to provide a great learning and structured environment with competent and caring instructors.
I will definitely recommend this program to the schools, parents and students I know!
Dear learning lab staff and tutors,
I would like to extend a hearty thank you for all the support and excelJent services that Ethan has been provided this year as he completes the play-attention program.
Ethan actually started at the Learning Lab six years ago when, in first grade, he was having problems learning to read. Our private school vice-principal suggested we get Ethan tested for any learning disabilities and recommended the learning Lab. Ethan went through the sensory integration program for about a year and a half and his reading ability soared after that.
In July of 2010, after noticing Ethan struggling with attention for severa' years, we decided to place him in the play-attention program after learning about it from the earlier time he was here. Ethan has type 1 diabetes, so this seemed a good approach for us in trying to avoid medicating him any further. I have seen marked improvement in his ability to focus and stay on task in his daily life. The program progressively gets more difficult and he has been able to move up with it and now has completed it. Since it is computer-based, it was fun for Ethan with all the games. The friendly and capable teachers were always close by and ready to assist.
I have recommended the Learning Lab in the past to my friends and acquaintances, and will continue to do so.
Thank you!

Thank You Dear Dr. Frank and Mrs. DiPietro,
It's been three years since you changed my view of the world. I was about to enter my sophomore year at City High School and reached out to you to help get me into a prestigious seven-day journalism program in Washington, D.C.
Do you remember that?
That first trip to the nation's capital has never left my mind. I remember the humid summer heat as the other young program participants and I walked Capitol Hill. I remember thinking about the city's profound history as we passed the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. I remember getting to see Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton from the Senate gallery, just a few weeks before they announced their candidacies for president.
These experiences, of course, were exhilarating and inspiring. They allowed me to return to Southern Arizona with a renewed vision of what I wanted to do with the rest of my high school experience.
That was three years ago—and you made that opportunity possible.
Today, after an incredible first year at Arizona State University, I write this message to let you know that your support in 2007 is still on my mind. I'm back in Washington, but this time, things are a little different. There's no fundraising involved, it's my fifth trip to the area, and I'm here for three months.
In July, I accepted an internship with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. I am here living and learning with 15 other brilliant Latino undergraduates from throughout the country. We've spent the last seven days preparing for the rest of our time here, and this morning I'll begin my first day in the office of Colorado Senator Mark Udall.
If there's one message I want you to take from this short email. it's that you'll be on my mind every day on my 20 minute Metro commute to the Senate chambers. I'll think of the contribution you made in 2007 that truly changed my life, and how, without your support, this passion I have for public policy and service may have never been sparked.
Three years ago you helped send me to Washington. If that was life changing, imagine what the impact of the next 77 days will be.
In a few minutes I'll head off to Senator Udall's office. There really are no words to describe my excitement; for now, 'Thank You' is all I can say.
Much love, Andres C.

People from all walks of life fall in love with travel and it's definitely true to say that some of these travelers are also dedicated yogis. Both practices are mind-opening experiences that help you better understand your place in the world.
Sometimes though the hectic and unpredictable lifestyle that accompanies traveling doesn't always leave time to get in a regular yoga practice. Not only are you away from your normal teacher and class, you are also constantly on the go and may spend many mornings and late nights in airports or bus stations.
Luckily, the internet has gone a long way to provide a solution to this problem. There are many online resources to help you get your yoga fix no matter where you are. Here are five of the best apps to get you started.
1. YouTube Channels
The YouTube app is a great resource for anyone looking to practice yoga away from a physical class. There are many specifically dedicated yoga channels, such as SarahBethYoga, that regularly upload videos of different yoga styles, as well as tips for a safe and secure practice. The benefit of practicing through an online class is you are able to do yoga wherever you have WiFi and can modify the practice to suit your needs, ability and time restraint.
YouTube also allows you search for instructional videos and explanations of things you don't understand to help with technique and to make sure you're always improving. Although this will never fully replace the interaction between teacher and student in class, it's certainly a step in the right direction.
One other thing to consider when watching YouTube videos while traveling is to have a good VPN installed to get around geo-blocking. Geo-blocking is the practice of disabling access to certain sites depending on law, cultural and even religious restrictions, and unfortunately in may places, YouTube falls into this category.
2. Yoga Studio App
Although YouTube offers, by far, the widest range of classes, sometimes lack of good WiFi—a regular occurrence while traveling—means you can be stuck with indefinitely buffering videos or the connection dropping out midway through the class. Luckily, the use of applications means a much higher chance of successfully connecting to dodgy WiFi.
There are many great yoga apps out there, and one of the best is Yoga Studio. This app offers 65 different classes with the options to vary between 15, 30 or 60-minute durations for beginner, intermediate and advanced difficulty levels. It also allows you to focus on different elements of your practice by targeting specific routines to focus on strength, flexibility, relaxation, balance, or a combination.
Similarly, it gives you the opportunity to create custom classes and to practice specific poses individually. Created and developed by a trained instructor and available on many different platforms, including iOS and Windows 10, using this app means you can easily continue your regular practice wherever you are in the world.
3. Yogafinder.com
Even though online yoga tutorials can be a great and convenient help when on the go, they never fully live up to the experience of attending an actual class. This can be hard to achieve traveling as you're usually never in one place long enough to find out what's around. Yogafinder.com is a quick, easy and simple way to find studios and classes in your local area. Although it's not an app, it can be accessed from your mobile phone via a browser app and is far to useful a resource not to mention.
To conduct a quick search, simply enter the name of the city, class or instructor and you will receive a list of classes, including their address, style of yoga and contact information. The site also offers listings for yoga retreats in case you decide to dedicate some of your traveling time to a more intensive practice.
4. Yoga Tracker App
When on the go it's easy to lose track of your daily routine, which means you may miss out on all the great benefits that a daily yoga practice brings. Luckily, the Yoga Tracker app has got you covered. Costing only 99 cents, this app is a cheap and easy way to track your progress and stay motivated.
It allows you to record every time you practice and input the length of time, type and style alongside details of instructors and locations. It then produces easy-to-see stats so you can track the trends and have a real-time reflection of your progress. For more dedicated yogis, you can also record any awards, certificates, training and designations that you have received to create a compact and easily accessible record of your yoga credentials.
5. Universal Breathing—Pranayama App
Sometimes there's just no way you're going to be able to fit in your daily practice while traveling; whether you're on a long haul flight or an inter-country train journey, sometimes they isn't physically enough room. Luckily, yoga isn't all about the movement. The Pranayama app is a great breathing technique training experience that is a perfect replacement if you're not able to physically practice or if you just want to get back to the core basics.
With a simple user interface, the app guides you through easily customizable breathing techniques, allowing changes in difficulty level and the timing of the inhale, exhale, and retention of the breath. There are also settings to adjust the length of practice and a calendar to track your progress. Available in many different languages, this app is great to download onto your phone and help you connect with your yoga practice no matter how much room you have around you.
The benefits of a daily practice are undeniable, so it's important for travel-loving yogis to ensure they have an easy and accessible way to take to the mat every day no matter where they are. These are just a few of the best online resources for yoga while on the go. Once you've solidified how you're going to continue your practice while traveling—whether online or through local classes—all there is to do now is to decide where to jet off to! Happy traveling.
After reading this, I highly recommend you check the post on how to create your very own yoga retreat.


text: HI--I was in here a few days ago getting a chanel purse authenticated (or not). I had tried to sell it on e-bay, honestly believing( I swear) that it was real. The listing was pulled either because someone picked it as fake and reported it, or because I admitted in my listing that I was not positive but would refund money. Since then I have seen other listings both with fakes (the link shows a listing where she admits she doesn't think the chanel is real.) And another for a coach where he flat out says I don;t know if it is real or not, but I'll give money back, if it's not. (just like what I said). Help! Is this just a wording game???? I have quite the collection, and I also come across purses all the time and would like to continue selling them, but until I figure out this game I can't. Any help? Was I just unlucky (lucky actually seeing how my purse wasn't real after all)) that my listing got flagged? It is not my intent to sell illegal items, but, I am not an expert, I get purses based on style and quality, not names. Any help or advice for future listings would be helpful. (besides checking with you guys first) E-bay customer support is a joke-they will not answer any questions. Thanks Krishttp://cgi.eBay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130080878201&indexURL=0#ebayphotohosting

Follow me on...
There's nothing like owning your own home.
That's what everybody told me, at least.
And I have to admit, when Laurel and I bought our first little house on Pecan St., I thought it was perfect.
Older, 1950s-era pier-and-beam. Hardwood floors. Quiet little neighborhood. Pecan tree in the back yard. Burgundy shutters.
I suppose you might even have called it a young couple's dream house.
But when we moved from our apartment across town into our dream house, I forgot about one thing. When anything broke at our apartment, we had this special word that solved every (or most) problems: maintenance. All we had to do was call the office and someone would be dispatched to fix what wasn't working. It was like magic.
It wasn't particularly long after we moved into our dream home that I discovered the brutal reality. Our house didn't come with a maintenance man. If something broke, I had to fix it (or pay somebody else to do it). And, given that our house at that time was around 40 years old, the chances were pretty good that I was eventually going to have to fix something.
But I never imagined it would happen so soon.
Or so dramatically.
It was our first winter in the house. We spent Christmas with my parents down in Baytown, Texas, and when we pulled into our driveway I noticed a trickle of water running from the house, down the driveway, and into the street.
That's interesting, I thought. Doesn't look like it rained while we were gone.
We unloaded our suitcases and carried them into the house.
When we stepped inside the door, it felt like we'd entered a steam bath. It was not only humid, it was hot.
Laurel and I looked at each other. It was one of those moments in a marriage where words are not necessary.
We walked around the house and couldn't find any water leaks. And we almost breathed a sigh of relief–until we looked down.
"Why are the floorboards warped?"
Have you ever felt an unnamed dread hang over you like a cloud of doom?
Yeah. That's how I felt.
Because in that moment I had a good idea of where that little trickle in our driveway was coming from. Our house had a pier and beam foundation, but the outside perimeter was solid concrete. And all of our water pipes ran underneath the floorboards. And if there was a leak, there was nowhere for the water to go.
I went to one of the two scuttle holes that gave us access to the area under the floor. When I lifted the hatch I discovered that we now had a two-foot-deep, swimming pool underneath our house.
I checked the scuttle hole in our bedroom closet, which was near the water heater.
You could see the steam rising up from the floor.
We not only had a two-foot-deep swimming pool under our house.
We had a two-foot-deep heated swimming pool under our house.
But that's okay. I was a homeowner now, and I would show the world that I was up to the task. I was going to meet this challenge.
One problem.
I am not remotely handy.
Problem is, I didn't know that yet.
As a matter of fact, I considered myself to be Joe Handyman.
TO BE CONTINUED… (on Wednesday)

Justin Timberlake is set to mount a huge advertising campaign to convince Academy Awards bosses he is worthy of an Oscar nomination next year for his role in The Social Network, according to U.S. reports.
The singer has recently put music to one side to concentrate on forging a career on the big screen, and received rave reviews for his portrayal of internet entrepreneur Sean Parker, who helped launch hugely successful social networking site Facebook.com.
And the star has won the backing of executives at the movie's studio Sony, who will pay for a huge campaign in the Hollywood press to help land Timberlake a prestigious Best Supporting Actor nod at next year's Academy Awards, according to New York gossip column PageSix.
A source tells the publication, "He's hell-bent on getting a nomination this year even though he has tough competition from his co-star Andrew Garfield. Sony is footing the bill for advertising the awards campaign, but Justin is also doing things his own way, including attending Academy screenings on his own and privately reaching out to award winners and Academy darlings Tom Hanks and Kevin Spacey for campaigning advice."
Interesting. Justin was good, but Andrew definitely deserves a nomination.
Whose performance in The Social Network do you think is Oscar worthy?
