Climate protection is one of the key goals of the German Federal Government. This requires a sustainable, safe, and efficient supply of energy. An important factor in this process is the development of greenhouse gas reducing technologies.
A redirection of the energy mix for the future, considering all available sources of energy, can only be achieved by means of innovative technologies.
The development of new technologies for power generation, the design and construction of modern power supply grids, and solutions for energy-optimized building construction are more important now than ever before.
On behalf of the German Federal Government, FIZ Karlsruhe produces databases and information services for energy research and its practical application.

Inner mesh lining that is 100% chafe proof, providing a lifetime guarantee on protecting your inner thighs and groin region no matter how hard you train.
Maintaining a composite lightweight structure, the fabric underpins exceptional luxury and comfort.
Bonded pockets provide ample storage for multi-purpose use enhancing functionality for transporting valuables on every training journey.
Love the fit of these shorts - I am a runner (both outdoors and treadmill) and they work brilliantly for both. 5"10' and 65kg and the M are a really nice fit
I ordered from Hawaii and received my delivery promptly and without any issues whatsoever. Very impressive.
I own very style of Castore shorts in all colours. They look great, feel even better. I'm convinced they make me faster and stronger!!
Castore has the best sportswear in the market bar none - if you are serious about your training and haven't tried it out yet you really need to!
Super impressed by everything Castore does - their products seems to somehow have far better comfort levels that the sportswear brands I am used to (Lululemon, Adidas). 5 stars without doubt.
Very impressed by Castore - customer service providing guidance on sizing was excellent and the products live up to the high expectations they set through the imager and wording on the website. Will most definitely be back for more.
I am 6"1, 78kg and have above average quad size due to being a regular squatter - Large size shorts works perfectly for me (and I love them).
The 7" and 8" are both of a very nice cut. The imagery probably doesn't quite do justice to just how good these shorts are.
Really impressive overall product and very versatile. Performs as well in a sweaty gym environment as outdoors in the wind and rain. Highly recommend.
I have been a Nike wearer almost all my life - now I wear only Castore and will not be changing any time soon - truly amazing quality sportswear!
I used to wear the big American brands but so happy I found out about Castore (first from an Financial Times advert then from a friend at my running club who convinced me to buy). Love the kit and its nice support a British brand.
First product in my gym bag! So versatile and never lets you down.
I work in the City (London) but row, box and run regularly, spending 6 days a week in the gym on average. I have worn a lot of sports shorts and Castore and by far the best I've ever had.
There is no doubt whatsoever that if you are serious about your sport and training then Castore is the brand you need to know about
Love every piece of Castore that I have - I'm a pretty active guy and train 6 times a week across both indoor gym and outdoor running/HIIT. I also pack it whenever I travel with work and it never lets me down.
All of the Castore shorts have a far superior tailoring to the gym wear I am used to - much nicer drape and don't lose their shape in the wash.
Having worn Lululemon for the last three years I was reluctant to move away but am so happy I did with Castore - they kit has far superior flexibility (I do yoga but also run and TRX classes) and is realy comfortable when you are sweating hard. Also a far cooler brand in my opinion.
Beautiful fabric, doesn't chafe, feels exceptional against the skin and doesn't stick when you sweat.
Every single colour available looks great and complements the corresponding tee really well. Can't wait to buy more.
Excellent quality product.
I have every pair of Castore shorts in the collection - without doubt the best set of training shorts I have every owned. Only request would be for additional colours.
The inner mesh lining alone is a good enough reason to but these shorts - such high quality, doesn't chafe and is completely sweat wicking. I now own in three colours.
Cannot believe I haven't found out about Castore until now. As a 6 day a week gym guy who sweats through kit at a ridiculously crazy level, I think I have found kit that is my soul mate!!!
Style, performance and comfort are all significant above what I am used to from previous sportswear brands I have owned. Quality different is immediately noticeable as soon as you wear the kit.
Love my Castore shorts, amazing fabric quality and I love the fact they dry so quickly after a tough session which is a real bonus. Perfect for warm weather training.
Wow - I am almost speechless. The quality of this kit is simply stunning. Never had anything like it. Could not recommend enough.
Really impressive product - fit, fabric and features (anti-odour, zipped pockets, chafe resistant waistband etc) are all stand out positives and the overall quality really impresses me.
Really good quality kit, excellent fabric and style.
All round 5 star experience - both the customer service and product are fantastic.
I now have every pair of shorts in the Castore collection. All are great and I have been very impressed both by the performance quality and durability. The 7 inch Marco are probably the best all rounder.
Castore is the Range Rover of the sportswear market
Castore is going to become the British version of Nike!! Love the brand. Not cheap but the products speak for themselves.
Love all three pairs of my Castore shorts - Perfect for outdoor running, indoor gym work and I even wear for swimming and they perform really well.
Great delivery service to Hong Kong - I had to swap over a few garments as I ordered the wrong size (my own fault, the size charts are really good and very accurate) but the team dealt with it straight away and I received my new kit in a matter of days.
Big fan of Castore, love the quality of their kit - both the shorts and trousers have a lovely drape, neither too baggy not too tight. Can wear both in and out of the gym and look good
Love everything I own from Castore. The fabric is perfect for warmer weather conditions, lightweight and flexible that just blends into the skin. Really cool brand.
The best workout shorts I have ever owned - period. Once you try Castore it will be difficult to wear anything else and not be disappointed.
Top of the range product. Castore is a really cool brand
Super kit - very cool brand!
Received my first piece of Castore kit as a birthday gift and haven't looked back since. I was always a loyal Adidas customer but have been with Castore for 6 months now and they still keep impressing me with the quality and innovation within their ranges.
I am a pilates regular and love the stretch offered by Castore shorts. The anti-odour capability is also completely true - I know from direct experience!
Great fabric that performs well in the Australian heat, even in the middle of summer. Doesn't absorb sweat in the way traditional cotton or wool fabrics do and dries exceptionally quickly - always great to see an exciting young British brand doing things on a big stage.
Since wearing Castore, I now do not purchase any other sportswear brands - without doubt the highest quality kit available. Customer service and after purchase case is also excellent.
Love my shorts - Castore when will you do triathlon suits!! We need you in that market!!
Castore is now my go to sportswear brand. Amazing kit, friendly service - I used to buy Under Armour and this quality is head and shoulders above what I am used to.
I wear my Castore tee and shorts whenever I go running and have been very impressed. Whenever I travel they come with me and the fabric holds up really well, dries super quick and doesn't absorb moisture whatsoever.
Beautiful sportswear and amazing performance credentials - the anti-odour capability really works and the bonded seams don't chafe at all, genuinely superior to standard sports kit.
Amazing quality shorts, love the fabric quality and attention to detail. No chafing whatsoever even when I go on 20+ mile runs in humid conditions.
Very impressive customer service - I was unsure about size of the shorts but a customer service assistant dealt with me straight away and also provided complimentary upgrade to next day delivery.
I'm 6"2' and 78kg and the L are a perfect fit. 7 inch leg provides a nice drape that isn't too loose
Great quality, great fit, performs fantastically in both warm and cold conditions. I now only buy Castore for all training gear.
I used to wear Lulu - since finding out about Castore I haven't gone anywhere else. Without doubt the best brand if you are someone who trains seriously and likes to really push your body (and kit) to its limits.
4 day delivery to Singapore which was great - the shorts themselves are fantastic, lightweight, comfortable and super flexible.
Love the attention to detail such as the zipped pockets that give perfect weather protection. Nothing worse than going for a run and coming back with a seat iPhone - really impressive kit.
Head and shoulders above anything else in the market
Fantastic cut, and great quality!
Wish I could buy it all. These shorts are next level. Love the zipped pockets and inner lining
Perfect for summer outdoor training. I have worn Nike, Adidas, Under Armour and Lululemon to date but Castore is far better than all of them. You must try if you haven't already.
Far superior to any other sportswear in my wardrobe - fit, comfort and performance all of the highest quality.
Amazingly high quality
I heard about Castore from a friend in the gym who wouldn't stop talking about them and now I can see why. Excellent quality kit, you really can tell the difference as soon as it comes out of the parcel and only gets better as you start to put it through its paces.
Probably the best running shorts I have - the fabric is unlike anything else I have ever used and makes a big difference. Doesn't absorb sweat anywhere near as much which is a great bonus.
Super quality - inner lining is perfect in providing comfort and doesn't chafe at all. I have owned for about 6 weeks and go to the gym regularly, often twice daily - so far the anti-odour claims have stood up to the test.
I kept seeing more and more people in my gym (Equinox) wearing Castore and thought I had to try it out - can honestly say its the best kit I have had in a long, long time. Excellent all round performance. Very happy customer!
Amazing shorts, really good for the hottest days. Followed the advice of Castore staff and size is great. Ordered an M, as I am 5'10, 70kg 34 waist. Definitely recommend.
Never have I ever felt so dry in the gym after an intense workout. This kit dries unbelievably quickly and really makes a difference. I am converted to Castore!
What great kit, was slightly nervous buying a British brand and delivering to Denmark but the customer service and delivery was exceptional and the kit has performed really well. Will be back for more
Great product from Castore - quick and seamless delivery to New York. Customer service very impressive and in line with the whole brand and product experience.
Incredibly well made product - love them.
I now have the Castore shorts in three different leg lengths and love them all, definitely now my go to kit for gym, running and swim - beautifully versatile
Was definitely concerned about spending so much on gym kit but the fabric and quality are really great - worn a lot already and really happy. Definitely worth the extra money.
Genuinely good swim and gym shorts are really hard to find - hear about Castore from a friend and so glad I decided to give them a go. Would definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed!
Great looking and really good in the gym when sweating hard. Recommended
Far better fitted/tailored than the gym or running shorts I usually buy from the big brands. The touches of quality around the waistband, drawstrings and inseam are very impressive as well.

text: While local Kenyans idea of a night out might not be dancing the night away in nightclubs and bars, this doesn't mean that they don't like making the most of their hours of darkness and fun is still had once the sun goes down. If you plan to go on safari during your stay in Kenya, your nights will be spent on a camp where nightclubs will be a long way away, and nightlife includes listening to the night time telegraph of the nocturnal animals of the wild. Instead you should be treated to something far more memorable and spend the night enjoying locals perform traditional dances. If this is all too tame for you, larger cities like Nairobi and Mombassa will satisfy the needs of the party animals as they are home to bigger nightclubs which go on until the early hours of the morning. Some hotels have discos on their premises, as do some hostels which present an different option if you don't feel like travelling far for some late drinks. Nairobi, Mombassa and Malindi all have cinemas playing English-speaking films if you plan on catching a movie.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) The Seattle Seahawks finally won a road playoff game Sunday, taking a 24-14 NFC wild-card victory over the Washington Redskins, who lost Robert Griffin III to another knee injury in the fourth quarter.
Marshawn Lynch ran for 131 yards, and Russell Wilson completed 15 of 26 passes for 187 yards and ran eight times for 67 yards for the Seahawks, who broke an eight-game postseason losing streak away from home.
Seattle will visit the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons next Sunday.
Lynch's 27-yard run with 7:08 remaining gave the Seahawks (12-5) the lead. On Washington's next series, Griffin reinjured the right knee he sprained about a month ago while trying to field a bad shotgun snap.
The knee buckled badly, and the Seahawks recovered the fumble and kicked an insurance field goal.
Kirk Cousins replaced Griffin, but Washington (10-7) was unable to come back.

American Ashton Eaton wins decathlon gold and China's dominance in platform diving remains unchallenged on the 2016 Rio Olympic Games 13th day.
Take a look at some notable figures from Thursday's competitions:
First: A male weightlifter from Kyrgyzstan has become the first athlete at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics to be stripped of a medal after a positive doping test.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport says Izzat Artykov tested positive for strychnine after winning the bronze medal in the 69-kilogram division.
The court says he has been stripped of the medal and kicked out of the games.
CAS referred the case to the international weightlifting federation for possible further sanctions against Artykov, who could face a two-year ban from the sport.
Luis Javier Mosquera of Colombia is in line to be upgraded from fourth place to the bronze medal.
25: The number of gold medals to be won at the Rio Olympics on Thursday. The marque event will feature Usain Bolt in his favorite race, the 200 meter sprint. The Jamaican superstar won his 8th gold medal.
Other top track events include the women's 800 meters and 400 meter hurdles and the men's 400 meter hurdles, the decathlon and shot put.
On the sand, two-time Olympians Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo of Italy lost to Brazilian favorites Alison and Bruno, who took the gold in the men's beach volleyball final.
Four golds each are being awarded in sailing and canoe sprint and Chinese divers are expected to go 1-2 in the women's 10-meter platform. Belgium also takes on Argentina in the men's field hockey final.
In semifinals, the U.S. women were defeated by Serbia in volleyball but beat France in basketball.
2: The number of gold medals won by Hungarian canoeist Danuta Kozak after she took first in women's 500 meters kayak single Thursday. Kozak also won gold in the 500 meters kayak double with Gabriella Szabo.
20.94: The amount of meters Brazilian shot puter Darian Romani threw to set a national record as he qualified for the final later Thursday. Romani joins Ryan Crouser of the United States, who had the top mark of 21.59. World champion Joe Kovacs also went through as automatic qualifier with a throw 20.73.
115: The point lead Olympic and world champion Ashton Eaton opened up after six events in the decathlon.
Eaton earned 1,000 points for finishing the 110-meter hurdles in 13.80 seconds to open the second day of the decathlon competition, lifting his tally to 5,621.
Damian Warner of Canada moved back into second spot by edging Eaton to win their hurdles heat in 13.58. The world championship silver medalist has 5,518 points with the discus, pole vault, javelin and 1,500 meters remaining.
Kevin Mayer of France was third, 214 behind Eaton, following a 14.02 in the hurdles. Kai Kazmirek of Germany slipped two spots to fourth, 225 off the lead.
397.45: The number of points scored by China diver Si Yajie in the preliminaries of the 10-meter platform finals. Si scored no lower than 76.50 in any of the five rounds and posted the top score of 397.45 points. Ren was a bit off on her third dive but still claimed the second spot at 385.80. No one else was even close. Jessica Parratto of the United States took third in the preliminaries at 346.80.

Can't spell "pirate" without "-irate": on DRM and punishing the customer
I am livid. Which superficially might sound very stupid, except that this kerfuffle combines ethics, DRM, social networking, and my integrity, all in an interesting and infuriating tangle.
I was at breakfast with one of my very closest friends—a retired English and Latin teacher—and her son. Her son and I had just started arguing over the pronunciation of the word "diaspora" when, half-joking, I pulled my phone out of my handbag and played a recording of the word aloud at the table.
Then I stared down at my phone. I frowned. My friend wanted to know what the matter was.
"Um," I said, blushing furiously. "Um. This is weird. My cell phone is accusing me of stealing the Oxford Dictionary of English." I blinked. "That was a really expensive piece of software."
Some of you might already know about the Enfour dust-up. Here's a quick recap anyway: at the beginning of this month, the developers at Enfour announced they were putting anti-piracy measures into their software. (Enfour develops and publishes iOS versions of the Oxford Dictionary of English and the American Heritage Dictionary, among others.)
How did Enfour intend to combat piracy? By auto-posting tweets to their users' Twitter accounts! But the clever plan backfired when the tweet—a confession of "software piracy"—began appearing on legitimate users' Twitter accounts, too.
How about we all stop using pirated iOS apps? I promise to stop. I really will.#softwarepirateconfession— Jenn Frank (@jennatar) November 24, 2012
Enfour has since launched a "crucial maintenance release" to iTunes, and the issue has seemingly been resolved.
Of course, that makes little difference to the Enfour customer who, ahem, discovers that a "critical update" is waiting for her in the app store queue only after she has confessed, to 3,454 of her readers (not to boast or anything), that she stole some software. (Until hours ago, Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman had confessed to the same crime via Twitter as well.)
Worse, Enfour's software has a built-in "nag" notification. "I am a software thief!" the Oxford Dictionary of English repeatedly told me. It continued to notify me of my crime—and, inexplicably, in first-person tense—until I had gotten to a WiFi network to update the software.
I found Enfour's accusation especially insulting given the price I paid for the software—US$55. That is to say, the iOS version of the Oxford Dictionary of English costs the equivalent of a dense printed-and-bound volume of the very same. Worse, I grumblingly upgraded from the 3G to the 4S a year ago explicitly to purchase this expensive dictionary software (in fact, it was the very first purchase I made in iTunes once I was home from the AT&T store). I have frequently taken to Twitter to manufacture arguments over the cost of Enfour's Oxford application, always defending my purchase.
Some are wondering whether the auto-posted tweet constitutes "libel"; still others wonder why a customer would ever permit the Oxford Dictionary access to her Twitter account. I remember seeing the app's request pop up, and I'd simply assumed the dictionary had added some sort of social networking functionality, something like "share this crazy new word with your friends!" or whatever. (Enfour's software integrates very nicely with another app, the excellent Terminology, which does indeed include a "Twitter" button along with each definition.) At no point did Enfour disclose its intention to "post to Twitter on [my] behalf," however. The request seemed perfectly innocuous.
One user did deny Enfour this permission request, and he discovered that Oxford booted him from the software entirely. This is to say, he could not use Enfour's Oxford at all unless he granted the dictionary permission to humiliate him publicly.
Enfour has since admitted there was a "glitch" that caused "false positives" in the software. What's especially harrowing, though, is that Enfour apparently mined the data in the iPhone itself in an effort to determine, not whether Enfour's own software is pirated, but whether any software on the iOS device is pirated. This is ominous news for anyone with a jailbroken phone; for my own part, my device is perfectly legal (to a fault), but I do have a copy of TestFlight, a type of software that allows me to test beta builds of developers' apps.
The timing of my auto-posted tweet was ironic, to be sure: at breakfast I had been crowing about finally rooting my Nook Glow. That is because I will endure DRM safeguards if I must, but I would also like to read my already-legally-purchased Kindle books—anthologies, mostly—on the e-reader of my choice. ("What if you purchased a book but you could only read it in the kitchen," I reasoned aloud to my friend and her son, "never in your living room?" I'm pretty sure my greatest crime here is "voiding a Nook warranty.")
I am a longtime and fanatical opponent of DRM—well, and of proprietary software in general. It's taken me a long time to get my Mac to stream to my Xbox, my iCal to sync with my GoogleCal. Not only do I dual-boot into both OSX and Windows, I frequently run my Mac in "coherence" mode, an unholy mishmash of both operating systems. Years ago I did build a "Hackintosh," but I used a real, out-of-use copy of OSX to do it. I'm willing to go the extra mile to avoid "brand loyalty"—whatever it takes, thanks.
Some years ago I needed to review a game for Computer Gaming World; the game, a commercial build, was reinforced with Stardock protection. (Edit: Here, a reader suggests I probably mean StarForce. While that makes a lot more sense, I remember it differently. It was a Sherlock Holmes game, which is Stardock, but a quick search says my beef is really with TAGES.) When I attempted to run the game on a MacBook Pro using a real copy of Parallels, and in a paid-for copy of XP—see a pattern emerging here?—I was notified of my piracy, and the game would not run. I did review the game using my office PC, but only in my off-hours, meaning I had to take a cab home every night. In short, that turned into a pretty expensive review for me. (This summer, outraged customers encountered the same headaches when they tried to emulate legitimately-purchased copies of Diablo 3 from within Linux environments.)
So DRM measures consistently have this problem, and it's the reason lie detector test results are legally inadmissible in court: alas, the "false positive."
I'm not saying that piracy is okay—the truth is, it never is. Unless, of course, you're trying to watch foreign television programs, or build your own DVR. Or convert your legally-purchased iTunes library to stream to your Xbox. Or make your friend a mix CD for her bridal shower. Or upload a supercut to YouTube. Hmm. Okay. Maybe it's the litigiousness of things like DRM and SOPA that go a long way in revealing exactly how much gray space there really is.
Sure, it's okay, even noble, to combat piracy. In a way, Enfour's decision to post auto-tweets from seemingly counterfeit software makes hilarious sense: culture has shifted so that we now post an announcement to our "timelines" anytime we log hours into a video game or throw financial support into a Kickstarter. Instead of "gamifying" only our achievements, why not also gamify shame?
I've stated this before, publicly and privately, but as a freelance writer my only real collateral is my sense of integrity. That is what I have to trade on. There is something peculiarly invasive about having an attack on my integrity come from my own phone—from my dictionary!—and posted to my own Twitter timeline. I think I would still feel that way even if I had stolen software for iOS, in fact.
And there's the rub again, that issue of the "false positive." It's very Minority Report: as Enfour has proven, you can't just use an algorithm to weed the unethical from the ethical. Using "workarounds" and "hacks" may well be suspicious, but it sure isn't unscrupulous.
Edit: I meant to say it somewhere in the course of writing this diatribe, but I got a little trigger-happy. Anyway, I thought Jonatan Söderström handled the issue of piracy very elegantly when he politely directed pirates to a Hotline Miami fix. He didn't say it explicitly, but I feel like there was a subtle message embedded: "Not that I'm judging too harshly, but legit copies of this game are already patched." Very, very nicely done. Edit #2: This!
Update: Boing Boing is on it.
Also, I apparently missed Enfour's "apology" [pdf]:
Nevertheless, a number of users with certain system configurations were affected during this time period. Some may still be if they haven't updated to the fixed version. If you are not running the latest version, we urge you to update your app immediately to avoid the potential embarrassment of an unexpected tweet.
According to Enfour's apology statement, the errant tweet was sent because I put my phone in "sleep mode" before closing out of the app. (Who closes an iPhone app, like, ever?) The statement goes on to claim the tweet was sent if the user actually chose to "send" a tweet—this simply is not true. Rather, the application asked for permission to access my Twitter account, and then, voila! (Finally, the statement stresses that no data was compromised and that Enfour has "removed" the "anti-piracy module" from the latest software.)
Again, Enfour's dictionary apps have been "fixed," but customers who haven't updated to the newest version are in for a splendid treat. No telling whether Enfour plans to "fix" the module and try to implement it again.

MARIETTA, Ga. -- Houston Banditos Black 16u highly ranked prospects Stone Garrett and Justin Twine are already pretty well known to college recruiters and members of the professional scouting community.
The two Texas kids have risen to the upper echelon of the class of 2014 rankings by attending a combined 11 Perfect Game events over the past two summers, including this week's 16u Perfect Game World Series at the East Cobb Complex. They're just two more top-notch prospects Banditos founder and head coach Ray DeLeon is putting on display for the enjoyment of everyone.
"Justin Twine and Stone Garrett, they're our two top athletes right now that are getting a lot of exposure," DeLeon said Friday afternoon. "They're phenomenal athletes."
The Banditos Black fell to 4-2 in pool-play after an 8-3 loss to Team Citius (3-2-1) on Friday but were still very much in the hunt for one of the two playoff berths out of Pool F at the 16u PGWS. All 44 teams at the 16u, 15u and 14u Perfect Game World Series play their final pool-play games Saturday, with four teams from each tournament advancing to Sunday's playoffs.
"We've been doing this for four weeks (in a row) now and we're just trying to play the most competitive baseball that we can," DeLeon said. "There are just so many events for every age group, I call it the 'circus'. You just have to follow the circus."
For Twine and Garrett, the 16u PGWS provides another stage within that circus to showcase their talents.
Twine, a 5-foot-10, 195-pound 2014 shortstop/right-hander from Hemphill, Texas, has climbed to No. 19 in PG's national prospects rankings (No. 3 in Texas) and is enjoying his second trip to the East Cobb Complex this summer.
"This is great competition down here and I'm just trying to make myself better and get exposed (in front of the scouts)," the soft-spoken Twine said. "There are great competitors out here and it's wonderful; we're just trying to go out there and win a championship for the Banditos program."
Twine played in five of the Banditos' first six games here and was 5-for-15 (.333) with a double, triple, three RBI and four runs scored. He was much better at the PG WWBA 2014 Grads or 16u National Championship in July when he was 7-for-16 (.438) with a pair of triples, two RBI and three runs.
He also pitched five innings of two-hit, seven-strikeout, shut-out ball and was named to the event's All-Tournament Team.
"He is a freak. A flat-out freak," DeLeon said of Twine with nothing but admiration in his voice. "People who get to watch him play, he's just amazing. He's a 6.4 (seconds) runner (in the 60 yard dash) and he hits for tremendous power. He plays shortstop like nobody else out there and he's got a good mind for the game."
Twine identified his speed and his quick hands both at the plate and on the field as his most favorable attributes. DeLeon sees a complete player at a very young age.
"He plays the game hard," DeLeon said. "He's a very quiet kid -- he's probably said one word the entire week -- but he plays as good as anybody I've seen at the 17u level and he's probably the most talented kid I've ever had in the organization in 18 years."
That's high praise considering 2012 Perfect Game All-Americans Nicholas Banks, Kacy Clemens and Kohl Stewart all played on the Banditos Black 17u team this year and 2011 PG All-Americans Nick Williams, C.J. Hinojosa and Courtney Hawkins played with the Banditos last year.
"I know that's saying a lot but talent-wise, he does it all. He can play anywhere on the field and be successful at it," DeLeon said.
"The Banditos have been great to me," Twine added. "Ray has done a good job with me getting my name out there; I'm very blessed."
DeLeon is equally effusive in his praise for Garrett, a 6-2, 185-pound 2014 outfielder from Sugarland, Texas. Garrett is knocking on the door of the 2014 national prospect rankings' top-10, coming in at No. 11 (No. 2 in Texas) and a good showing at next week's Area Code Games in Long Beach, Calif., could put him over the top.
Garrett performed well in two 17u PG events before coming back down to compete with players in his own age group this week. He also attended the PG Junior National Showcase in Minneapolis in June
He hit .318 with a home run, six RBI and seven runs scored playing for the Houston Banditos Blacks' PG national championship team at the PG WWBA 2013 Grads or 17u National Championship here in July. He followed that up by hitting .308 (4-for-13) with a triple, home run and three RBI at last week's 17u Perfect Game World Series in Peoria, Ariz. .
"This summer is my first summer playing up (an age group) and at the beginning you're seeing faster pitching but you get used to it," Garrett said Friday. "When the scouts see me I don't want them saying, 'Oh, it's OK, he's only 16', I want them saying 'Wow, he's 16 and he's 16 and he's competing with 17-year-olds.'"
It is Garrett's strength and physique that most impresses DeLeon.
"God came down and chiseled Stone with a chiseler," he said. "He's got muscles coming out of his neck, coming out of his forehead. This kid is just a 'beautiful body' kid with a prototypical big-league body. And it's more than being a great athlete -- he's one of the nicest kids I've ever met, as well, a 'yes sir', 'no sir' kid who has a bright future."
Garrett left Atlanta at 5:30 p.m. Friday to return home for one night before leaving for the Area Code Games Saturday morning. He was confident the Banditos Black 16u would carry on in his absence.
"We knew very game was going to be like a championship (game) so you're just playing your best so that you can play in the championship game," Garrett said. "We're going to try to win it all but it's going to be hard."
DeLeon will continue to bring into the Banditos organization the top prospects from the state of Texas, which often translates to the top prospects in the nation. He'll have them through their formative years and then send them off to college or the MLB amateur draft.
"It's a cycle," DeLeon said. "Once the Courtney Hawkins of the world take off, the Stone Garretts come in. And when the Stone Garretts come in, the Justin Twines come in too. When the Twines leave, somebody else comes in. It's a revolving door and it all starts with the younger age groups. That's the key for me. ... You've just got to find a way to keep it all rolling."

Mobile Hairdresser Johannesburg in Rivonia before I go into the points to help you choose your hairdresser, I should first outline the definition of what is a mobile hairdresser? A Mobile Ladies Hairdressers is a hairdresser who usually works for his or herself visiting clients at their homes or place of work, or any other agreed venue and does not operate from a fixed hair salon or beauty shop.
Discover Mobile Services for Eyelash Extensions in Southport
1.When to consider using a mobile hairdresser. The services of a mobile hairstylist may often be required to be used at a home for a wedding when it may often be inconvenient for the bride to travel to a hair or beauty salon to have her hair and her make-up done, requiring her then to travel back to her home to put on her wedding gown. Instead, the hairdresser will travel to the bride's home in order to style the bride's hair for her special day. A Hair Stylist Mobile hairstylist is often in demand for Care homes, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces, and in many other situations where individual attention is required.
The Five Vital Reasons to Opt for Mobile Spa Services
4. Always Use a qualified hairdresser. As with Salon hairdressers, your mobile hairdresser should hold formal hairdressing qualifications. The UK national Vocational Qualification in Hairdressing (NVQ) is the only recognized qualification system, and more than 60% of mobile hairstylists are now trained to this standard. They should also hold professional indemnity insurance.
Your mobile hairdresser should be happy and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and often make-up to accentuate and compliment the individual looks of the customer, and offer suggestions on what hairstyle or make up should best suit the client.
Mobile Hairdresser Johannesburg in Rivonia ?
Hairdressing is one of the many trades that can be carried out in a clients home. Hairdressers only need a pair of scissors a small stock of products comb and other accessories to cut and style a persons hair. But is it worth it? below I discuss some of the pros and cons of mobile hairdressing and perhaps uncover some little known truths.
I hope this article maybe useful to someone who is thinking of starting up in mobile hairdressing and help them to assess which is the best route to take salon based or mobile.
So you have a car, have all your tools a client list and decide to go into the flexible working of being mobile. You can book clients in when you want as much of what will allow get up late arrive home early?
Firstly nowadays if you use a car for business you must have the correct insurance often this will incur a higher premium. There could be an argument that the car is just insured for "personal" use social and pleasure and that if you had an accident that you would just say you where visiting a relative? Insurance companies are more and more tightening there belts and looking for people outside of the scope of this they may ask to prove you where on holiday from work or proof of travel.
Do your research
This is the most important part before going into any new venture and its also the part that most people get wrong partly because of their desire to live the dream. Be hard on your plan scrutinize the competition how many the what why where and how. Also look at the possibility of future competition and threat of reducing your market.
Allot of people do not really Analise there costs, when I mean costs I mean true costs down to the penny, here's an example.
Outgoings cost of car payment, car tax, insurance,fuel, wear and tear, cost of equipment and stock, fair wear and tear to equipment, necessary taxes. Add all this up on a yearly then monthly and drill down to a daily basis this will give you an idea of where you need to start from.
Best of luck
Portable Hair Salon Stations For Mobile Hairdressers
Like any other kinds of types of jobs, profession and career in the world, there are advantages and disadvantages to being a hairdresser. Yet despite the pros and cons, as long as you have the motivation, inspiration and the love for what you do, nothing will hinder you from succeeding as a hair dresser or any other career you choose to pursue.
Hairdresser Pros: What makes the profession enjoyable?
- Interaction with different types of people. A hairdresser always has this opportunity with various types of clients, young or old, male or female. As a matter of fact, it is this dealing with different personalities that add challenge and reward to the job. A hairdresser is prevented from boredom as each client requires specific hair care needs.
- Work Flexibility. If you are a hairdresser, you may choose to work for a salon or for yourself. You may opt to work in an 8-hour shift or by appointment only. You may also establish your own salon or offer home service.
- Variety of services. These days, clients prefer a convenient on-stop salon where they could get different services like hair styling, facials and nail care. If you are a hairdresser working for a salon such as this, you would need to know how to perform other beauty services. Expect that every day, you might be performing a different service and not just the basic hair trimming.
- Options for training. If you want to become a hairdresser, you may choose to attend a training course from a technical school. You may also choose to become an apprentice in a work environment where you would likely be absorbed once the apprenticeship is completed.


text: The annual Euromold show in Frankfurt, Germany is a leading event for showcasing 3D printing or additive manufacturing technology—that is, the technology for building solid models and parts though precise 3D layering of material. While the show in general is aimed at moldmakers, the range of additive manufacturing exhibitors at this show extends well beyond moldmaking to cover all industrial applications of 3D printing. In fact, a noticeable shift was apparent at the show this year compared to previous years. Additive manufacturing exhibitors overall gave less attention to design prototyping applications, in favor of greater emphasis on 3D printing for manufacturing end-use parts. Here are just a few of the sights the staff of Additive Manufacturing saw at Euromold this year:

3. 555 Timer Calculator
This is a calculator designed and dedicated to calculating the resistor and capacitor values for the popular NE555 square wave generator.
This is unlike the other calculators you will find floating around. This calculator generates actual, usable component values; values that are found in your kit. No longer will you be asked to provide a 2546.74856Ω resistor.
This calculator will also allow you to tell it which components to use, based on what you have available. Don't have a 10KΩ resistor, or a 4.7 nF capacitor? Remove it from the list and you'll never be asked to use one.
This is a brute force calculator. Meaning it calculates every possible combination and if it comes within 1% of your desired frequency it will display it as a result. If battery concerns or the speed of the results is of concern, users can opt to have the calculations done via remote server. Your custom component list is still used for this process, but results can be generated in a fraction of the time.
Feedback and feature requests are always welcome. No comment too sour!

As a working mom, I am always struggling with the work/life balance. I feel like it is a constant battle. I wish I could shut work off in my brain when I walked in the door, but I can't shut it off. If you walked into my house and looked at our desk in the kitchen, you would think, not a chance do I bring work home.
Well, unless I work for the wine industry. Which I don't. Sigh.
But, I have a dirty secret.
I do bring work home. I have another office location.
I didn't screw up. I put a picture of my master bathroom. If you look on top of my hamper you will see my evidence.
Computer power cord can be found most regularly in my bathroom.
I would say I have a problem, but I don't think I do. I get a lot done in the bathroom. Work wise. I have written some of my best work on the floor of this special room.
However, I do try to hide it. Especially from my boss lady.
But sometimes I get busted. The conversations go something like this:
Boss Lady: Hey Leah!
Leah: Hi Boss Lady!
Boss Lady: Just wanted to talk to you about XYZ.
Leah: Great. I needed to touch base with you on that too. I had some thoughts…
Boss Lady: Wait. Where are you? It sounds like there is an echo, almost like a cave. Are you in a bathroom?
Leah: Uh. Well. Um. Maybe. It's just so quiet. The kids don't bother me in here because it is boring. I am getting so much done. It is sort of like hiding in a cave.
Boss Lady: Hysterical laughing.
It is weird. I know. But I blame this.
It is just so warm and cozy and white noise like. I just crank on the space heater and go to town on the laptop to the wee hours of the night. And our office is just not as cozy. Plus my husband would have to learn how to share.
So, yes, I have a problem. I bring work home.

It seems to me that this is a clear-cut case of Mathematica actually producing the wrong answer (with no warnings).
I'm trying to express the fact that for any integer, there exists a factorization (even if that factorization is just n = n * 1). But Mathematica says no.
If I replace the domain with Reals or Complexes, then it says True.
Is this a bug or am I using these functions incorrectly?
Resolve[ForAll[n, Exists[{p, q}, p*q == n]], Integers]
(*Out[1]= False*)
Reduce[ForAll[n, Exists[{p, q}, p*q == n]], {n, p, q}, Integers]
(*Out[2]= False*)

Everyone knows car insurance fraud is bad news. But would you know how to spot it? We'll reveal 5 common schemes to give you a better understanding of fraud in action.
Car insurance fraud is any deception committed against an insurance company for financial gain. Fraud is illegal in all 50 states, and insurance companies (like ours) do all we can to investigate and expose fraudsters.
This type of car insurance fraud occurs when the owner disposes of the vehicle by leaving it somewhere, burning it, dumping it in a lake, or even selling it, and then claiming it was stolen.
In situations where the car was sold before being reported stolen, the fraud is intended to pay in 2 ways: through an insurance settlement to replace the stolen vehicle and through the sale of the original car.
Where you live affects what you pay for car insurance, and this car insurance scam is designed to mislead insurers and avoid higher premiums.
Drivers who partake in this scam often live in expensive parts of the country or in neighborhoods with higher theft rates, so they register their cars in other states or counties where insurance premiums can be lower.
This one is committed by less-than-upstanding repair shops. Let's say you bring your car to the shop after an accident, and the mechanics use shoddy parts to make the necessary repairs. By repairing your car with cheaper, possibly unsafe parts and billing your car insurance company for new parts they never used or work they never performed, they're committing fraud for financial gain.
Body shops can also commit exaggerated repair cost fraud by overcharging an insurer (and a customer) for necessary repairs. By purposely overstating the accident damages, the shop can make money after unneeded repairs.
This is another type of car repair scam. It happens when mechanics don't replace the airbag after an accident. Instead, they stuff the compartment with other objects, such as beer cans (yup, you read that right) or packing peanuts to keep the sensors working.
Some states, like California, passed protective laws regarding airbag replacement. Replacing an airbag with a fraudulent one can be penalized by a year in prison and up to $5,000 in fines.
Windshield fraud can take unsuspecting drivers by surprise. Usually, someone claiming to be a windshield repair specialist will approach you in a parking lot, trying to convince you that your windshield is damaged and you need a new one ASAP. But good news: you're in luck because this friendly expert just so happens to have your type of windshield on hand. And it gets better because this service will be completely covered by your insurance company. Yep, you won't even have to pay a dime. You better take advantage of this now, right?
Wrong. This is a scam that may drive up your car insurance rates and possibly put you in danger. These people aren't the real deal and will most likely replace your perfectly fine windshield with a shabby one. You might even lose your car insurance coverage if you fall for this type of scheme, especially if this "specialist" uses your insurance information to submit several windshield replacement claims under your name.
These repair scams may leave you wondering about a shop's trustworthiness. Our E-star program is designed to alleviate the worry. As an Esurance customer, you can choose from a sizable list of highly qualified body shops to repair your car after an accident. And if you go with an Esurance-approved repair facility, the repair is guaranteed for as long as you own the car.
Car insurance fraud is a serious and potentially dangerous criminal offense. If you suspect you've seen fraud, get in touch with your state's Department of Insurance. And let your insurer know if you suspect you're the victim of fraud.

"We in Europe are also not perfect," José Manuel Barroso said last week while hosting a joint press conference in Brussels with Azerbaijan's head of state, Ilham Aliyev. The president of the European Commission, who is supposed to defend the EU's democratic values, seemed to prove his own point by deciding not to openly question his guest's rosy picture of Azerbaijan's human rights record.
"Ensuring human rights and fundamental freedoms stands high in our agenda," said Barroso. In fact, standing at paragraph 11 out of 15, these rights were raised rather low in the statement Barroso issued after his meeting with Aliyev. Although briefly referring to "shared values," the text was dominated by energy issues, and, specifically, the Southern Gas Corridor--a European Commission project that would help diversify Europe's gas supply by adding the Caspian and Middle Eastern regions as sources.
If Azerbaijan does not have democracy, it has oil and gas, which is a very convincing argument for a European Union eager to work with energy suppliers other than Russia. "We have more than 2 trillion cubic meters of proven reserves," Aliyev said. "This will change the energy map of Europe." In a move seen as a way to court the favors of the country's rulers who aspire for international recognition and prestige, the European Commission proposed last May the draft of a Strategic Modernization Partnership with Azerbaijan.
The European Union is not the only European institution eager to give an easy ride to Azerbaijan. Last year the Eurovision song festival was held in Baku although the repression of media freedom violated all of the proclaimed lofty principles of the organizer, the Geneva-based European Broadcasting Union (EBU). And next year the Council of Europe, whose official mandate is to defend democracy and human rights, will offer its rotating chairmanship to Azerbaijan.
This soft spot for Baku is contradicted by these institutions' own assessments of the human rights situation in Azerbaijan. According to the news website EUObserver, the EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule was hardly euphoric. In a letter addressed to German Christian Democratic MEP Elmar Brok, chairman of the European Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee, he noted that "there is an overall worsening of human rights in the run-up to elections." According to EUObserver's Andrew Rettman, "Fule noted that unlike Armenia or Georgia, Azerbaijan does not care about EU integration because 'it is self-confident due to its energy reserves.'"
The latest news from Baku does not bode well if the European Union pretends, in Barroso's words, to "move to a long-term association grounded in democracy and shared values."
Most recently, on June 20, the U.S. government-funded broadcaster Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty reported interference with its signal to Azerbaijan "that could indicate a new level of deliberate interference, a practice known as jamming, and a violation of international telecommunications regulations."
CPJ has documented systematic and long-standing attacks on press freedom in Azerbaijan, that, at best, have remained unaddressed and, at worst, have been initiated or condoned by the state.
Azerbaijan is one of the leading jailers of journalists in Europe and Central Asia; at least seven critics of Aliyev's regime are languishing in Azeri prisons. Murders of at least two independent reporters remain unsolved. Authorities arbitrarily bar reporters from leaving the country, and subject them to intimidation and politically motivated retaliatory prosecution, CPJ research shows. The EU's own attempts to persuade Azerbaijani authorities to decriminalize defamation and insult have brought no results. Instead, prior to his meeting with Barroso, Aliyev signed into law a bill that extended criminal defamation to Internet speech.
UPDATE: We changed the original version in paragraph five to correct the spelling of Elmar Brok's last name.

Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A lawyer suing jailed evangelist Tony Alamo over alleged abuse says the preacher's right to religious freedom doesn't allow him to beat children.
In federal court filings this week, W. David Carter wrote that protecting the public trumps constitutional protections afforded to religion. Alamo's lawyer said in a court filing last week that the Bible requires spanking unruly children, and he suggested that Alamo had permission from church parents to discipline their children.
The 74-year-old Alamo faces trial in February on charges he took children across state lines for sex.
Alamo was convicted of tax-related charges in 1994 in Memphis, Tenn., and served four years in prison after the IRS said he owed the government $7.9 million. Prosecutors in that case argued that Alamo was a flight risk and a polygamist who preyed on married women and girls in his congregation.
Alamo once had a clothing store in Nashville, Tenn., as well as a church and a downtown mission there.

The Digital Cinema Naming Convention is a voluntary industry recommendation, designed to provide HUMAN READABLE information. This should not be depended upon for AUTOMATION. Systems SHALL NOT reject content based on real or perceived errors in the use of the Naming Convention.
The problem:
Some Digital Cinema servers only show a limited number of characters on their display screens. If the title of a composition is long, much of the information may be cut off or not visible unless you scroll to a second page. This makes locating a specific composition difficult if you have multiple titles. It's especially confusing when you have multiple trailers as well as the feature with the same name.
If a feature composition were labeled:
Then Digital Cinema Servers that only display 40 characters would only see:
Is this the feature or a trailer? Is it flat or scope? What language is it? No one can tell if the information is cut off.
The solution:
The studios and the Inter-Society Digital Cinema Forum created a "Digital Cinema Naming Convention" to be used for the text that goes into the "ContentTitleText" element of a composition playlist.
For those of you not familiar with the Naming Convention, it has two primary objectives: 1) to make as much information visible as possible, and 2) to display the information in a specific order -- in assigned fields -- so theatres will know where to look for specific information. To achieve these ends, most of the information is abbreviated -- including the movie title if necessary -- and most of the abbreviations are standardized. (See the illustration chart above.)
Digital Cinema Naming Convention V.9.6.1
If you are already familiar with the Digital Cinema Naming Convention, Click Here for general tips and updates.
This site is designed to help everyone involved in Digital Cinema exhibition understand how to use the Digital Cinema Naming Convention when naming (or locating) Digital Cinema Packages.
The information in this site is used to create a text string that describes a particular CPL for a particular version of a movie. (The 5.1 or 7.1 audio version, the French or English version, etc.) This text string is used to populate the "ContentTitleText" of the CPL. Today most servers and theater management systems present this text string to the user and the user uses this site to decode the ContentTitleText string. This will continue but some systems will read the CPL Metadata directly to better inform the user of the specifications of a particular version of the movie.
This text string goes lots of other places, too. In addition to the entry of the naming convention in the ContentTitle Text of the CPL, it must also appear in the Annotation text of the CPL and in the annotation text of the PKL. ALL these entries should MATCH EXACTLY. If they do not, confusion may result with end users.
There MUST be an entry in EVERY field. Some systems count the number of "_" (underscores) to parse the information (NOT RECOMMENDED - BUT it's done). If you have a non-relevent field, fill it with the letters "NULL".
We are transitioning to the use of SMPTE Standard CPL metadata instead of reliance on this naming convention. All items that are included in this naming convention must also be included in the CPL metadata. CPL metadata is being populated in distributed movies today (Jan 2018). In fact more details are included in the CPL metadata than are included in the naming convention AND it's machine readable and actionable. This website contains information for both the naming convention and CPL metadata.
The digital cinema naming convention is evolving with the addition of new terms and modifications to existing terms. ISDCF is the arbiter of modifications to the convention. In general, requests are made to firstname.lastname@example.com and are reviewed at the next ISDCF meeting. No significant modification is made without discussion at ISDCF. Some seem to have problems with the on-line version. A PDF version of the site is here (dated 20180912) and is just a pdf print out of the site at this date. The official version is always on-line.
URIs and Universal Labels that are found in D-Cinema Packages in general, and in Composition Playlist Metadata (SMPTE ST 429-16) in particular, but are not otherwise specified by SMPTE engineering are described at https://isdcf.com/register/
Do you want to SEARCH the site? Use Google Search "site:http://isdcf.com/dcnc/: (search term)" and it should work!! (Thanks Bill E.!)
In the Composition Playlist
The Title of the DCP is listed at //ContentTitleText: (Historically this has been the digital cinema naming convention string.)
Alternatively, the Title may be listed at //Reel[1]//FullContentTitleText:
<FullContentTitleText language="en">Alice In Wonderland</FullContentTitleText>
Additional Notes:
The difference between ContentTitleText and FullContentTitleText is that the former may contain technical information, whereas the latter should contain the actual title of the composition. The language attribute is optional.
Legend: Yellow Boxes indicate the equivalent information that may be included in the SMPTE-DCP CPL Metadata.
Welcome to the Digital Cinema Naming Convention Official Website!
Updated 20190220 Updated chart to 9.6 with addition of IAB audio. Added Appendix 12 CPL Metadata, updated Appendix 3 Content types
Updated 20180912 to add pdf of site.
Updated: 20180103 - Changed first section to show transition to CPL metadata is underway, examples updated, clarity that this is a convention, not a standard. (updated chart to version 9.5 with adition of Elcairecolor Identifier and spelling correction)
Updated: 20171021 - Added Sign Language identifier (updated chart to version 9.4)
20190714 - Changed D-Box to DBox in appendix 4 and main chart - DCNC Chart V9.6.1
Expect a change in the way Atmos content is labeled! IAB (Immersive Audio Bitstream) is the SMPTE standard for Immersive Audio. All Atmos systems can play the IAB track. Many authoring companies are planning to stop labeling Atmos and using the IAB label only.
