When choosing an pur adhesive for a particular job, there are several points you need to think about.
First, what materials are you joining together? Obviously, the pur adhesive has to be suitable for both materials if they are different, but the main problem here is with plastics and recognising the plastic is the first task.
Second, how important is strength? With wood glues, the bond can be as strong as the wood itself, while with metal and plastics it will usually be weaker. If strength is all-important, you might need to think about reinforcing the joint in some way.
Third, how big a gap is there to fill? Often, joining two materials will also involve a degree of gap-filling, and pur adhesives vary in their ability to cope with this. Contact pur adhesives, for example, need a slight gap in which to work, while eyanoacrylates won't work unless the gap is very small indeed. Epoxy glues, on the other hand, will work with cither small or large gaps.
Fourth, what kind of temperature is the pur adhesive going to be subjected to? Some pur adhesives (known as thermoplastic), such as contact pur adhesives and many of the 'universal' glues, will not withstand heal, while many others (known as thermosetting) will retain their strength up to moderately high temperatures. This could matter when you are repairing crockery.
Finally, how important is the appearance? Most pur adhesives dry to a clear finish, but some end up a pale creamy yellow. Whether or not this will show obviously depends on the thickness of the glue line and, equally importantly, how well you clear away the excess; with many glues, it is difficult to avoid some glue remaining.

The forecast for the weekend was for rain. It would have been easy to plan for a sleepy, laidback day today. Instead I decided to go full-blast and ended up having one of my most productive days for ages.
Groceries were first on the list and were all over and done with before 8am. First thing Saturday morning is my favourite time for getting my weekly grocery shop out of the way. The bill was nice and low which made my day!
I put a load of laundy on and then had scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast (yummy fresh eggs from my lovely chooks!) while reading the newspaper and was at the gym by 9am. After a good cardio workout and some weights I was done with exercise for the day and headed to the library. I selected myself a good mix of books and a couple of movies to watch and then it was off to pick up chook supplies. I put my order in for wheat, laying mash and oyster shell then wandered off to get some cash to pay for it all (the store was having difficulties with their POS system). I managed to get a wee bit waylaid on my way back in the local craft store. I picked up a pattern and some wool to knit a baby jersey for a friend who is expecting. After picking up the chook food I headed for home.
It was raining on and off but it wasn't cold and it wasn't windy so I decided to get out in the garden which is what my original plan for the weekend had been. I finally planted my seed potatoes - I had been feeling guilty for not getting them in earlier but noted that some potato plants that had self-seeded in last year's potato patch had been badly frost burnt during the week so it was probably a good thing I had been a bit slack. I then planted my blackcurrent bushes that a friend had given me - I can't wait until they start producing but apparently it will take a while for that to happen. Once that task was done I got to work in the greenhouse and planted the following seeds : silverbeet, lettuce, sweetcorn, sweet peppers, zuchinnis, squash and chillis. My eldest son had ordered some super-duper hot chilli seeds off the internet so I planted those along with some other chilli seeds (not so hot) that I had bought. I spent a bit of time weeding the herb bed and planted some basil.
That was all the gardening done. I am in the process of having my house painted currently - the painters came the other day and waterblasted the house leaving lots of paint flakes around the place. I hosed the deck off and finally tidied all the miscellaneous junk off the deck that had been there for ages.
By this stage it was mid-afternoon so time to have a lunch break and get some inside jobs done. I spent some time sorting my bedroom out - general tidying up etc then it was time to have a bit of a relax so I watched one of the movies I got out from the library. Once that was finished with it was time to get dinner sorted - tonight we had homemade burgers followed by caramel dumplings - yum! And the evening has been spent getting my knitting underway - it's years since I knitted anything so I had a couple of false starts (of course I had chosen a tricky pattern!) but it's now going nicely.
So, reflecting on how my day has gone I realise today was all about choosing my attitude this morning, getting my body moving and working through my to-do list. Now I am happily tired and very content. Hope you all had a good day!

Enzo Traverso is one of the most interesting writers I've encountered in the last couple of years. A radical historian of ideas, he teaches now at Cornell, but has a background on the Italian far left. His Fire and Blood, published in 2015, is a remarkable intellectual history of the World Wars of the twentieth century, conceived as a great and terrible European civil war. The End of Jewish Modernity is a sad and grim stock-taking of the fate of the great Jewish contribution to European Enlightenment - from Spinoza to Benjamin - and its decline with the advent of Jewish ethnic nationalism, that is, Zionism. A new pair of books is on the way, led by Left-Wing Melancholia: Marxism, History and Memory (out from Columbia last month), where Traverso suggests resources for the reinvention of the contemporary left in the melancholy of defeat. Here is an interview with Traverso, reprinted on the Verso Books website, but first published by Libération and translated by David Broder:

Entering search
It's been a busy year, and this blog has definitely suffered. So here's my first post in a while, and there's a lot to catch up on: My wife and I welcomed our first child in April, and he's been a delight—I can't believe he's now six months old! My wife started a new job. This summer, I did a 10-week unit of Clinical Pastoral Education, a hospital chaplaincy internship that is required for candidates for the Unitarian Universalist ministry. And I saw the Ministerial Fellowship Committee (they're the national panel that credentials Unitarian Universalist ministers) and I passed with flying colors.
All of which leads up to what's going on now: I'm entering search. In other words, I am seeking a congregation to serve next year. In this, I'll be joined by dozens of other UU ministers, and at the same time there are a number of congregations seeking a minister for next year, too. It's a bit like online dating; we're about to share something of who we are, and see who's interested back. From there, it's meeting in person and eventually making a commitment.
But for now, it means sprucing up myself, writing a good introduction, and making this website look good for search committees who want to find out something about me: take a look around at the site.
Soon, search will mean serious discernment; what congregations might be a fit with my ministry, and which ones might be interested in me? These are questions that will likely occupy me for the next few months, and they're important ones.
I hope that all of us are considering what we might be called to, though for most that's not ministry! I feel blessed to have this special time to consider my calling again, and to engage in a journey with congregations that are hard at work discerning who they are and where they want to go. As always, I'm excited about the work I get to do, and I'm looking forward to the chance to talk about with it a whole new group of people.

Today I woke up not very early. I wanted to eat breakfast, but Alex is a dude and had nothing in the fridge but potatoes and a few things that were way past their expiration date. We walked to Trader Joe's and bought a few things, which I then whipped up into a delicious breakfast (or really brunch). Home fries with 3 colors of potato, orange bell pepper, and garlic. Egg white omelet with dino kale and some kind of tasty cheese. Gluten-free toast with olive oil. By now it's past noon, so we head to Glendale to see Jessie and Drew and their new baby, Greyson. Alex was excited to meet the little fella. We passed a pleasant afternoon in which the infant in question did lots of cute things including a fair amount of (adorable) farting.
On the way home, the unthinkable happened: I got a call for work! In light of this development, I decided it was about time I replaced the Leatherman I lost months ago. Then my voice teacher called to say she'd had a cancellation, so I could make up the lesson I missed on Saturday (because the band was in the studio!) this evening. Score! So I played guitar and drank Throat Coat until time for my lesson. After my lesson, I came home and made dinner - Red chard with tomatoes and goat cheese over wild rice. You'll never guess what I did then. I messed around on Facebook. And started a blog.

From the desk of Mark Z.
Before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the East German communist state, your spirt animals at the top of the Stasi (the GDR's secret police, for those delinquent in their history) had to rely on data gathered by hand, which meant hiring a whole bunch of professional spies and recruiting a massive network of civilian informants to build detailed files on its targets, whose ranks included just about everyone.
Under the watchful eyes of the Stasi, whose legendary file cabinets stretched for miles, case agents were responsible for keeping tabs on individuals and groups.
But the Stasi, for all of the length and depth and might of its tentacles, had a problem.
Though its agents had large and ever-growing dossiers at their disposal, they were essentially confined to what they could capture on paper and keep in their minds.
But you, Mr. 21st Century Totalitarian, you have no patience for such an antiquated approach.
And why should you? Compared to Internet-scale data collection, the German's analog methods are just so… how do you say?
Slow? Inefficient? Prone to lapses in human judgment and the soft mushy recesses of the human heart.
You, the modern totalitarian, demand 21st century way to capture and catalog the activities, psychologies, and political sentiments of your citizens in real time.
This should be some place online where people share freely and regularly about themselves. Something like an online social network, or a messaging app. Or a special silly little thing where people agonize over photographic filters and create hashtags like #vanlife and #blessed.
Of course, you, the Discerning, Wise Totalitarian understand that merely collecting massive amounts of personal data on most of the population is only a part of the equation.
Because once you have access to a large, rich and ever-growing online database of human behavior, you know you need algorithms that can mine all those activities and uncover threats to your #blessed status quo.
#2: Predictive Behavior Modeling
Along with potential terrorists, the threats to your velvet fist of lead and iron include:
- Subversives
- Whistleblowers
- Radicals
- Activists
Have you, Mr 21st Century Totalitarian, ever just wished you could build a detailed psychological profile of these types and use your massive identity database and a bit of sophisticated machine learning to suss out others?
With such a tool at your disposal, it'd be like having the pre-cogs from Minority Report, but instead of weirdly-psychic humans drugged up and living in a bath, you'd have an All-Seeing Machine.
It would be especially nice if the same company that built your massive surveillance engine was also thoughtful enough to train an AI to mine its users' posts and pre-emptively flag "troubling psychological tendencies"
Sure, you know you'd surface a substantial number of false positives.
Hey, you didn't pass a law legalizing light investigative enhanced interrogation for nothing, are we correct?
Let us not waste more brain energy on such pedestrian matters.
These things are for your secret police agents to suss out, yes?
#3: Mass Manipulation
The 20th century totalitarian relied on absolute control of the flow of information. Writing official textbooks, burning subversive materials, censoring the media, and publishing a non-stop flow of propaganda was simply the way of things.
But The 21st Century Totalitarian such as yourself, the fragmentation of TV and the free-form frontiers of the Internet complicates this strategy.
Sure, you could just co-opt cable news, but there are so many channels! Radio? That's so 1933.
While these blunt forms of manipulation may work for news stations named after wild dogs, they are too obvious to work across your entire nation.
The modern totalitarian like you demands a more subtle way to influence cultural and political sentiment, some way to influence the stories people see every day and shape their understanding of reality and their emotional states across geographic, political and economic lines
The kind you'd have if you got your hands on an algorithmically filtered newsfeed that reached over a billion people.
Yes. Yes.
That is the ticket.

Erin Richards is a Loma Linda born, Washington state native who came to Southern California to pursue a career in dentistry.
Erin graduated from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry (LLUSD) in 2010 with high honors and is currently an Assistant Professor for the Oral Diagnosis, Radiology and Pathology department at the School of Dentistry. Here she oversees student dentists on the clinic floor, diagnoses student comprehensive exams and lectures to students about dental diagnosis and prevention. She also is the Interprofessional Education Director for LLUSD and the Associate Director for the Center for Interprofessional Education for Loma Linda University, facilitating better collaboration between dentistry and other healthcare professions.
When she is not instructing students on clinic or lecturing, she is treating patients in a private practice setting, doing what she likes the most: improving the dental health of the community. "People are the best part of dentistry," Erin says. "Dentistry is so much more than teeth. It is about the whole person."
Her interests within dentistry include esthetic dentistry, general restorative dentistry, oral surgery, removable partial dentures, implants and endodontics. She believes general restorative dentistry and esthetic dentistry should go hand in hand. Restoring someone's teeth is not only about oral health but the appearance of a natural smile. The invasiveness of oral surgery and endodontics illustrates the ability of the human body to adapt and heal even in the event of a full or partial loss of a tooth. Subsequent placement of a crown, removable partial denture or implant is an innovative way of bringing back function, stability, health and esthetics.
Cross-training, hiking, singing, social events and travel occupy most of her time. She especially enjoys the ocean, both the beach and the world beneath the waves. "I consider myself very blessed.

ARM Partners with Intel for 10nm Production
A Watershed Moment in Mobile
This previous May I was invited to Austin to be briefed on the latest core innovations from ARM and their partners. We were introduced to new CPU and GPU cores, as well as the surrounding technologies that provide the basis of a modern SOC in the ARM family. We also were treated to more information about the process technologies that ARM would embrace with their Artisan and POP programs. ARM is certainly far more aggressive now in their designs and partnerships than they have been in the past, or at least they are more willing to openly talk about them to the press.
The big process news that ARM was able to share at this time was the design of 10nm parts using an upcoming TSMC process node. This was fairly big news as TSMC was still introducing parts on their latest 16nm FF+ line. NVIDIA had not even released their first 16FF+ parts to the world in early May. Apple had dual sourced their 14/16 nm parts from Samsung and TSMC respectively, but these were based on LPE and FF lines (early nodes not yet optimized to LPP/FF+). So the news that TSMC would have a working 10nm process in 2017 was important to many people. 2016 might be a year with some good performance and efficiency jumps, but it seems that 2017 would provide another big leap forward after years of seeming stagnation of pure play foundry technology at 28nm.
Yesterday we received a new announcement from ARM that shows an amazing shift in thought and industry inertia. ARM is partnering with Intel to introduce select products on Intel's upcoming 10nm foundry process. This news is both surprising and expected. It is surprising in that it happened as quickly as it did. It is expected as Intel is facing a very different world than it had planned for 10 years ago. We could argue that it is much different than they planned for 5 years ago.
Intel is the undisputed leader in process technologies and foundry practices. They are the gold standard of developing new, cutting edge process nodes and implementing them on a vast scale. This has served them well through the years as they could provide product to their customers seemingly on demand. It also allowed them a leg up in technology when their designs may not have fit what the industry wanted or needed (Pentium 4, etc.). It also allowed them to potentially compete in the mobile market with designs that were not entirely suited for ultra-low power. x86 is a modern processor technology with decades of development behind it, but that development focused mainly on performance at higher TDP ranges.
This past year Intel signaled their intent to move out of the sub 5 watt market and cede it to ARM and their partners. Intel's ultra mobile offerings just did not make an impact in an area that they were expected to. For all of Intel's advances in process technology, the base ARM architecture is just better suited to these power envelopes. Instead of throwing good money after bad (in the form of development time, wafer starts, rebates) Intel has stepped away from this market.
This leaves Intel with a problem. What to do with extra production capacity? Running a fab is a very expensive endeavor. If these megafabs are not producing chips 24/7, then the company is losing money. This past year Intel has seen their fair share of layoffs and slowing down production/conversion of fabs. The money spent on developing new, cutting edge process technologies cannot stop for the company if they want to keep their dominant position in the CPU industry. Some years back they opened up their process products to select 3rd party companies to help fill in the gaps of production. Right now Intel has far more production line space than they need for the current market demands. Yes, there were delays in their latest Skylake based processors, but those were solved and Intel is full steam ahead. Unfortunately, they do not seem to be keeping their fabs utilized at the level needed or desired. The only real option seems to be opening up some fab space to more potential customers in a market that they are no longer competing directly in.
The Intel Custom Foundry Group is working with ARM to provide access to their 10nm HPM process node. Initial production of these latest generation designs will commence in Q1 2017 with full scale production in Q4 2017. We do not have exact information as to what cores will be used, but we can imagine that they will be Cortex-A73 and A53 parts in big.LITTLE designs. Mali graphics will probably be the first to be offered on this advanced node as well due to the Artisan/POP program. Initial customers have not been disclosed and we likely will not hear about them until early 2017.
This is a big step for Intel. It is also a logical progression for them when we look over the changing market conditions of the past few years. They were unable to adequately compete in the handheld/mobile market with their x86 designs, but they still wanted to profit off of this ever expanding area. The logical way to monetize this market is to make the chips for those that are successfully competing here. This will cut into Intel's margins, but it should increase their overall revenue base if they are successful here. There is no reason to believe that they won't be.
The last question we have is if the 10nm HPM node will be identical to what Intel will use for their next generation "Cannonlake" products. My best guess is that the foundry process will be slightly different and will not provide some of the "secret sauce" that Intel will keep for themselves. It will probably be a mobile focused process node that stresses efficiency rather than transistor switching speed. I could be very wrong here, but I don't believe that Intel will open up their process to everyone that comes to them hat in hand (AMD).
The partnership between ARM and Intel is a very interesting one that will benefit customers around the globe if it is handled correctly from both sides. Intel has a "not invented here" culture that has both benefited it and caused it much grief. Perhaps some flexibility on the foundry side will reap benefits of its own when dealing with very different designs than Intel is used to. This is a titanic move from where Intel probably thought it would be when it first started to pursue the ultra-mobile market, but it is a move that shows the giant can still positively react to industry trends.
Video News
Complete role reversal for Intel opening fab for clients.
Seeing how the price of operating a fab is logarithmically increasing year to year, it isn't terribly surprising. Gotta keep those lines filled with product.
And better to get a small portion of the ARM $ pie than none at all..
sorry for the nitpicking, but "logarithmically increasing" is a really strange expression. I believe you were looking for "exponentially increasing"
To me the former means that the cost increase is getting smaller over time.
Yes, I was confused. I keep remembering Data on ST:TNG asking to display something on a logarithmic scale... sad, I know.
Those Intel fabs bleed red ink if they are not kept operating at as close to 100% capacity as possible. ever guess why IBM got out of that cash pit of owning your own fab business. It's much better to amortize that fab process R&D across the entire industry like GF/Samsung/Other fab businesses do for their clients, so all the fab clients share in the R&D, and physical plant costs of the entire fab industry, and even the small players get get access to the latest chip fabrication technologies.
Intel will go broke fast if it does not keep its uber expensive fabs going at full capacity, chips fabs are multi-billion dollar money pits if they are not earning their Keep, even for Intel's fat wallet!
As wel said the other day on Twitter, Intel is barely utilising what it has, and even I had not thought of this.
It's great to see, and I cant wait to see what the fruits of this partnership are.
It seems to me, that Windows Continuum was a match made in heaven for low power x86 chips being put into a large phone with a decent sized battery, and it was only a generation or two away. I seriously hope they still sell these chips, and someone will implement that into a device.
Imagine an x86 Atom in a 5-6 inch phone with comparable power usage to an ARM, but able to use any Windows software and able to connect to a WiDi or USB type C screen! <333
No Intel is out of the smart phone SOC business, x86 gets 86ed by most phone OEMs. Phone makers do not want that Intel ring through the nose treatment from Intel the SOC maker. Atom Bombed as a smart phone chip, and Intel's in house graphics is some really rotten dog food on those Atoms!
Better for Intel to get into the third party Chip Fab Business, because that's the only piece of the smart phone action Intel will be able to get! So an Intel fab business can keep those multi-billion dollar foundries from bleeding red ink!
Zen is coming to consumers and the HPC/server/workstation markets and Intel will have to lower its prices, and AMD has its custom K12 ARMv8A ISA running custom design for the low power using devices market, and even the ARM server market for K12.
I'm looking froward to some Intel/Nvidia/Windows 10 free, Zen/Polaris Linux OS based laptops from the Linux OS OEMs so I can get all the Monopoly out of my new laptop purchase. Give me Zen/Polaris/Linux/Vulkan, and NO windows 10 snoopware/blabware OS ever, for my Tux OS based Zen/Polaris laptop computing/gaming needs.
To late for Intel. Samsung rules RAM and Flash market and will rule CPU market in no time.
Lol what?
??Uh... not sure you understand what you are talking about.
Really Intel does not have that much extra fab capacity to rival Samsung's, GF's, and TSMC's/Others' total wafer capascity! So AMD will never have to go Hat in Hand to Intel to get at any of Intel's 14nm and smaller process nodes. Intel needs to find just enough third party fab busines to keep Intel's fabs from eating too much of Intel's cash pile. Intel's 14nm process is just not that much better for that kind of business to be taken away from the other Fabs, and Intel's fab services will probably be a little higher than most of the other fabs.
Those Refrence ARM holdings A73/others SKUs are not going to beat any of the third party ARM holdings licensees' custom ARM designs for the server market, the ARM Holdings A73/Others refrence design cores will be used on low power phones and paired with ARM Holdings new Mali/Bifrost(Hopefully) GPU IP.
Certainly they don't have the spare capacity to match TSMC and GF, but they do have extra capacity. Many will likely apply, but Intel has the luxury of picking and choosing who they will partner with to take up that extra capacity.
Yes, and other fabs are going to get plenty of business with their own 14nm, 10nm, and 7nm chip processes, but the idea for Intel is to not have any idle fab capacity that causes Intel to loose more billions to keep its chip fabs open to produce for Intel also.
I'll be looking for an AMD's Zen based APUs sans the Intel dog food graphics and some Linux OEM laptop options without Intel/Nvidia or M$ products inside. So for Intel what goes around comes around, ditto for M$ and Nvidia. I do not care as much about the Zen cores outperforming Intel's latest CPU cores and that AMD graphics will make all the difference in the world for my graphics needs.
It's all about price/performance and enough shader cores to work with large high polygon 3d mesh models in edit mode and still have the interface responsive enough so I can use the 3d editor. Intel's dog food graphics may be good enough for some level of games play, but Intel's graphics have always bogged down when using Blender's 3d editing mode on large polygon count mesh models. Intel's dog food graphics shoved onto the laptop market over the years by Intel's nefarious practices are enough for me to avoid any further purchases of any Intel based laptop SOCs.
I'll go with AMD and Zen/Polaris or Zen and discrete mobile Polaris GPU and enough APU, or discrete mobile Polaris GPU, graphics shader core counts to do fine with some high polygon count very detailed mesh modeling, ditto for my not using Nvidia with its focus on gaming only graphics at the cost of more compute for Ray Tracing acceleration on the GPU for some good all around GPU functionality and not only gaming graphics at the cost of all else on Nvidia's consumer GPU SKUs. Avoiding M$, well windows 10/10's EULA is enough to keep me away from that pile of crap OS/Adware/Spyware ecosystem and move on to Linux for the only option for a truly open OS ecosystem that allows the end user full control over their own PC/Laptop hardware.
It looks like Intel is going to have even more excess fab capacity for Intel to farm out for third party fab work, as the latest Zen news appears promising for some Zen cores that have at least Haswell/Boadwell levels of IPCs and when the Zen/Polaris APUs for the laptop market are available from the Linux OS based laptop OEMs then I'll have my new laptop, Windows 10 is a big No Sale. I have got a rather large wad of cash saved up from having to avoid my yearly laptop purchases going on 3 years dew to windows 8/8.1 and windows 10 making me keep that wallet closed and piggy is full of $20s waiting for the Zen/Polaris APUs to get some design wins among the Linux OS based laptop OEM's! I'm so sick of seeing only Intel/Nvidia and the overpricing in the Linux OS OEM laptop market.
Hmmmm I wonder if this only happened because of Softbank?
Good question. But I doubt it? Does Intel have a positive relationship with Softbank and in what capacity?

text: In this contribution, a novel and robust, geometry-based grouping strategy is proposed. Repeated, planar patterns in special relative positions are detected. The grouping is based on the idea of fixed structures. These are structures such as lines or points that remain fixed under the transformations mapping the patterns onto each other. As they define subgroups of the general group of projectivities, they significantly reduce the complexity of the problem. First, some initial matches are found by comparing local, affinely invariant regions. Then, possible fixed structure candidates are hypothesized using a cascaded Hough transform. In a further step, these candidates are verified. In this paper, we concentrate on planar homologies, i.e. subgroups that have a line of fixed points and a pencil of fixed lines.

The father of slain social worker Amy Watkins made an impassioned – and successful – plea for leniency yesterday for the man convicted of being the lookout during the brutal 1997 murder.
Acting directly on Lawrence Watkins' advice, Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Albert Tomei sentenced Felix Rodriguez to 15 years to life after he was convicted of second-degree murder.
Assistant District Attorney Michael Vecchione had asked for the maximum sentence of 20 years to life. "We understand that Felix Rodriguez was not the actual assailant of our daughter," Lawrence Watkins told Tomei, sobbing as he spoke.
"We also understand he is much younger than the assailant," David Jamison, who was recently sentenced to the maximum of 20 years to life.
"We would be quite willing to see [Rodriguez] serve a shorter sentence than was handed down to David Jamison," Watkins continued. "We think 15 years to life will be sufficient." Citing the Watkins family's "compassion and humanity," Tomei said their plea for mercy "made my job easier," and he handed down the 15-to-life sentence – but not before he blasted Rodriguez, 22, who is allegedly hearing-impaired and brings a sign-language expert to court.
"You may have a hearing impairment, and may not be able to hear . . . but for the rest of your life you should hear the voice of Amy Watkins," Tomei said sternly.
Rodriguez's mother and sister were in court but refused to comment.
Watkins and his wife, Gayle – Amy's stepmother – shrugged off questions about how they could be so compassionate to a man who helped murder their daughter.
"It's who we are," Gayle Green Watkins said.
"It doesn't seem to us we've been anything but what most people would be," her husband said.
Jamison stabbed Watkins, 26, in the back with a 12-inch hunting knife as she screamed for help during the March 1997 attack. The knife was driven in with such force the weapon punctured her lungs and nearly came out her chest before sticking on her ribs.
She was trudging home from a subway station in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, with several bags full of groceries when she was attacked.
Jamison, Rodriguez and a third man, Pierre Antoine – a Haitian national who was deported after his arrest – got $8 in the robbery.
Vecchione, who grew up in the neighborhood where Watkins died, led the prosecution.
"It touched me," he said of the trial. "I played on that block as a child. This was a terrific woman.
"And to have her taken from us for a couple bucks is simply horrible."

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is the main character of the fictional manga and anime series of the same name, also he is the main character of the Hit-Series Konoha Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. His ablities are the Super Fist of the Nose Hair and many Wiggin Ablities.
Defining Bo-bobo's personality can be difficult. He is an unpredictable person, not even his allies are aware of what he will do next. However, when he is not involved with one of his antics, he manages to retain a semi-serious composure, though he is very sensitive; even the slightest put-down can make him depressive. Bo-bobo's personality becomes increasingly more serious when he is faced with strong opponents. Despite being the good guy of the series, he often beats up or tortures some of his allies (namely Don Patch, Jelly Jiggler, Dengakuman, Sakura, Lee, and Naruto) for being stupid or annoying. He is also a very powerful Wiggin Specialist and makes a powerful team alongside Don patch and Jelly Jiggler. Because of this, he can act very goofy and unpredictable. His personality shows different aspects depending on who he is talking with. His interactions with Don Patch, Jelly, Dengakuman and Naruto are usually goofy with him often using them as shields or weapons. He usually shows his serious nature with Softon, Hatenko and often Naruto. He cares very deeply for his friends despite his violent tendecies toward some of them for acting stupid.

It used to be that online shopping in the Philippines was largely about individuals hawking their goods through social networking sites such as Multiply and Facebook. Making inquiries alone is such a pain because they don't have a solid system in place. So you and the seller exchange countless text messages and what not. Let's not even talk about making payments. You pay over the counter, scan your payment slip, email the seller. So time-consuming! The process involved is enough to kill your appetite for shopping. It took years for us to finally be given the chance to enjoy online shopping the way it is meant to be enjoyed! All thanks to Lazada.
A New Age for Online Shopping
The Philippines' Online Shopping Mall has gained legions of fans in the country for bringing to our shores a shopping experience like no other. One look at the site is enough to validate its popularity across all social strata. Easy to navigate site? Check. Chock-full of good buys? Check again. Year-round promos? Bingo! And let us not forget the amazing services they offer. In my book, amazing service=amazing experience! I think it's pure genius on their part to look into the needs and wants of shoppers and come up with innovative ways of providing it.
First, their website is pure eye candy with carrying diverse product selection. I mean, they've got something for everyone! The shopping site is chock-full of good buys – from the affordable ones to the big-ticket items, you name it, they stock it. And did you see the professional product photos accompanied by detailed product descriptions? Now that's what you call a smart and credible touch.
24/7 Customer Support
If you need more info on the product you're crushing on, it's reassuring to know that their Customer Service team is only just a call and email away. Plus, people of almost all ages can go through the site and not be intimidated!
Second, they provide a 7-Day Return Policy with no questions asked! I almost screamed when I discovered this offer. Finally, someone understands what consumer rights mean. Obviously, I'm not a big fan of No Return, No Exchange Policy that is normally implemented here. How it goes with this shopping site is if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can send it back. If the product is defective, shipping cost will be reimbursed to you by the company.
They Deliver!
Third, they have free delivery available to so many shipping addresses in the country. The best part is there is no minimum purchase required! Talk about getting value for your money. Anything that doesn't require shoppers to spend more is always a welcome treat. With this strategy in place, people naturally shop with more gusto. It is really a clever way to promote online shopping!
Without a doubt, Lazada Philippines is leaving no stones unturned when it comes to delivering its commitment to give the best online shopping experience to us. Because of them, the way Filipinos see and do online shopping is forever changed.

Punjab militancy: There have been 12,000 civilian deaths
New Delhi, July 27: The fear of terrorism in the state of Punjab returned today with the attack at Gurdaspur. It is still very unclear what the motive of the attack is and who could be behind it, but for the people of Punjab it brings back nightmares.
Read more: Live: Two terrorists killed in Gurdaspur attack
The state which had seen extreme militancy in the 1980s has coped with death and fear for long before the Punjab Police and the Indian army wiped the militants out.
The demand for a separate country called Khalistan was extremely brutal and there have been 12,000 deaths in Punjab due to militancy.
The death toll in Punjab:
In the Gurdaspur attack, there have been 6 persons who have been killed. Terrorism at its peak in Punjab had seen a series of attacks which had resulted in the death of 12,000 people. These are statistics available since the year 1981. All the deaths were a result of attacks by militants in Punjab.
Although the Punjab militancy had a policy of not targeting civilians, there were numerous instances where the common man had been targeted.
Since 1981 the death toll has been 12,000. However the fight back by the Indian security forces was strong. Statistics would reveal that around 8,100 terrorists were killed by security forces. This assault had literally wiped out terrorism from Punjab.
However some of the top leaders of these groups began fleeing to Pakistan in the early 1990s and took shelter with the help of the ISI. The militancy was completely beaten down, but the top leaders with the help of the ISI spent almost two decades making attempts to revive militancy in Punjab.
Since 2007 there have been reports and alerts which suggested the revival of Punjab militancy. The militants managed to carry out a major blast at a theatre in Ludhiana.
There was also an attempt that was made to smuggle in a huge cache of arms. However the major arms haul was busted at Ambala.

The motif suggests two teams of negotiators (dark blocks) using a simulation model to investigate their proposals with the coloured circles suggesting the interaction between the teams of negotiators.
There are two problems with the normal negotiation role play. First, each party tends to invent issues and assumptions so as to win while the other party looses. Second, the financial aspects of the negotiation are trivial. Our negotiation role plays over come this by providing two simulation models - one to help the sellers assess the financial outcome of their proposals and one for the buyers to help assess the costs of the proposals. Over nearly thirty years use on courses this has led to win-win agreements despite vigorous negotiation.
These are a series of computer enhanced negotiation role-plays lasting a day that can be used:
The series consists of four negotiations each addressing different industrial situations These are:
But, our experience designing and using these simulations since 1983 means we can customise or create similar negotiations to meet your specific needs remarkably quickly. For example, our latest simulation (the Constructive Negotiation) took about two weeks to develop!
KEY LEARNING: Each negotiation covers:
DURATION: Approximately one day.
TARGET AUDIENCE: The negotiations are designed for senior sales staff, purchasing staff and management.
METHOD: After a short briefing the training group is divided into pairs of Buyers and Sellers each of three to five participants. These teams consider the problem and progress through the following stages:
The negotiation may be videoed.
Besides these elements of a negotiation role-play, separate planning models are provided to the selling and buying groups to allow them to forecast the financial impact of their proposals.
The use of computer models allows the financial impact of the proposals to be fully analysed (without overly stretching the participants' mathematical ability)! Also, the design of these models coupled with the fact that teams cannot "invent" the financial dimension, means that the negotiation invariably leads to a WIN-WIN situation.
AVAILABILITY: Commercial and Sales Negotiation are available off-the-shelf and a comprehensive Trainer's Pack is provided allowing trainers with little or no experience with simulations to run the simulations. Systems Negotiation is only available tutored.
Besides the usual price, profit & cost objectives, each group has other objectives. For the FMCG negotiation, the sellers have surplus brewing capacity and the retail buyers (with cash flow problems) require delayed payment. This raises the issues of the objectives of both parties. For the buyers these include least total cost purchase, ease & safety of purchase, politics of the buying group etc.. For the sellers the include profits and profitability, size of order, future business opportunities etc..
The role-play takes the participants through all the stages of the negotiation (from planning through information gathering, initial proposal to final proposal to agreement). At each stage, as the negotiation unfolds, teams must decide strategy and manage the process. Not only does this involve deciding who says what, but includes body language and even the physical arrangement of the negotiating arena.
Each negotiation involves reaching agreement in several (six or seven) areas. Each area differs in importance to buyers and sellers and has different impact on financial results. So, not only must teams consider the importance and cost to their side but must find the importance to the other side. This allows trade-offs in areas that are important to one side but not the other. Additionally, some areas may benefit both sides. In the FMCG negotiation, if the selling group provides more advertising support to the buyer than the basic amount, the additional sales more than cover the cost of the additional advertising support. (However, if the two sides are in conflict, this mutual benefit will not be explored.)
Although, almost invariably, the simulation concludes with a win-win agreement, this does not mean that conflict and inappropriate behaviours do not happen. This provides the opportunity to explore and discuss these behaviours and contrast them with helpful behaviours using actual examples from the negotiation. This is illustrated by the following exchange:
Buyer: "You obviously failed to heed our statement on price."
Seller: "No with respect ........"
Buyer: "But when you quoted ........"
Seller: "We did not quote - we mooted ......."
(Despite this acrimonious exchange, the group reached a win-win agreement!)
Although participants do not have to do calculations or have deep accounting knowledge, each negotiation explores the financial implications of the negotiation. Implications in terms of profit, cost and cash flow. The negotiations emphasise, for the buyers, the total cost of acquisition (financing, quality, purchase cost etc.) rather than just purchase cost. For the sellers, the total cost of supply (selling, servicing, financing and product) are explored.
By participating in a team negotiation, participants not only must consider the other party to the negotiation but, also, must manage their team. Also, working in a team means that the different negotiation tasks and roles can be explored. Tasks such as negotiator, chairman, observer and recorder. Where the participants normally work in a negotiating team, this role separation is vital. However, even when the negotiation is done as an individual, these roles are still necessary (albeit provided by the individual).
CONSTRUCTIVE NEGOTIATION was developed for a major construction company. It involves a negotiation between a construction company and a local government about the purchase of Prefabricated One-person Dwellings for the low paid.
Areas of agreement cover price, dwelling type, number of dwellings, fitting. commencement and completion dates and payment terms.
Currently, Constructive Negotiation is only available as a fully tutored basis.
Besides the Participant's Brief (download below), there are separate briefs for Sellers and Buyers and on request these can be e-mailed.

COMMERCIAL NEGOTIATION was developed for the Chartered Institute of Marketing's college following their experience with Sales Negotiation. It involves a negotiation between a brewery and a supermarket chain about the sales of an own-brand beer.
Areas of agreement cover price, duration of contract, strength of beer, delivery, payment terms and promotional support.
Commercial Negotiation is available as a package for trainers, on a rental basis or as a fully tutored basis.
Besides the Participant's Brief (download below), there are separate briefs for Sellers and Buyers and on request these can be e-mailed.

SALES NEGOTIATION involves a negotiation between an electric motor manufacturer and a steel maker about the purchase of steel raw material.
Areas of agreement cover price, duration of contract, quality of steel, delivery frequency, payment terms and payment currency.

Being an insurance agent requires you to wear many hats. You have a role to play in making sales, in business development, client meetings and marketing your brand among others. The list is pretty long, but one of the things most people forget to focus on and do not realize is key to their business growth is customer retention. Too often insurance agents put more effort into expanding their company by closing as many deals as possible. While this is not an entirely wrong approach, you are losing plenty of opportunities if you do not pay attention to your existing client base.
Think about it, in the age of constant communication that we live in, your interaction with your customer does not end when you close a deal. Once a prospect becomes a customer, they have after sale service expectations and rightly so. Insurance can be bought by anybody and sold by anybody. So, what can you bring to the table that sets you apart from other agents? Obviously, the answer is in the way you treat them.
We have therefore come up with a few customer retention strategies that you can apply to your work that should help you see a massive difference when going over your client list a year from now.
Keep in touch with your customers – It is important that your customers never feel neglected. But this does not mean you constantly bombard them with calls, emails and text messages. It is important to remain in touch but at various times in a year different means. Wish them on birthdays, send in policy reviews, perhaps even sending an industry update can go a long way. A small token can be gifted or sent (like a voucher) to show that you appreciate your customer. These are the things that make them reconsider looking for another agent.
Set clear expectations from the start – You can write out a list of important dates such as policy renewals, payments, touch up calls so that your customer knows exactly what to expect from you. Think of it like how it used to work in schools and colleges – all students are given a yearly calendar with dates of holidays, exam dates etc. This lets the kids plan their year around those dates and not face any last minute surprises. This will work wonders with your clients and will help you stay informed and remember to give every client of yours the attention they deserve.
'Atithi Devo Bhava' applies to your clients too – Welcome your new clients warmly, as you would to a guest visiting your home. You need to have a very strong onboarding process for your new clients. Giving them a welcome kit or doing something that signifies that now they are a part of the insurance family they will be treated as well as a client can be treated.
Keep working on getting more referrals – Remember clients who refer you are more likely to stay with you, so never stop working on referrals. It's pretty simple, if you treat them good, they will refer you. After referring you they won't leave you because it makes them look silly to the people they referred you to.
Trial and error will help you as an insurance agent find a system that works for you. But the bottom line is this – retention at the end of the day is a form of sales strategy. In order for it to be effective, you need to find a system and routine in your work that helps you use these pointers through your routine, without having to make the extra effort. All it needs is some forward planning and getting into good habits. So, a set some time aside to pick and choose the strategies that work best for you. Who knows? This might be the very thing that takes your business to the next level.

Groundwater Supplies
Representative Projects
Busselton Water and Aqwest
Busselton Water and Aqwest provide potable water to the town of Busselton and the City of Bunbury. Rockwater has been the provider of hydrogeological services to these utilities for 30 and 10 years respectively. Groundwater is sourced from deep Yarragadee aquifer production bores. Rockwater has: completed conceptual bore designs; supervised drilling and bore construction; undertaken lithological logging; supervised and interpreted geophysical logging; conducted water quality and flow testing; finalised bore designs; designed and supervised test pumping programmes; analysed water-quality data; and prepared technical regulatory reports.
Alcoa of Australia Limited: Pinjarra Refinery
Groundwater from the Cattamarra aquifer is one of the major sources of water supplies to Alcoa's Pinjarra Refinery. The most-recently installed production bore, P 010A, was designed by Rockwater and installed under the supervision of Rockwater hydrogeologists.
Kimberley Diamond Company: Ellendale
Rockwater has an association with the Ellendale Project dating back to 1978, including the design, supervision, and testing of 30 production bores and a network of monitoring bores. The borefield has a capacity of 10 GL/annum producing water from aquifers up to 300 m deep in the Grant Group in the northern part of the Canning Basin.
Rockwater hydrogeologists have undertaken several numerical modelling projects to ensure the sustainability of the borefield.
Evolution Mining: Westonia
Evolution Mining re-commenced mining of the Edna May gold deposit, at Westonia, during early 2010. Rockwater established two borefields (four 200m deep bores and two 'breakthrough' bores accessing the flooded decline) to supply about 2.5 GL/annum of saline groundwater for a 2.8 mtpa mill. A subsidiary 2 GL/annum borefield (accessing the hypersaline Tertiary palaeovalley aquifer) has also recently been installed as a backup to the primary borefield.
Incitec Pivot Limited: Phosphate Hill
Incitec Pivot Limited's Phosphate Hill Operations in northwestern Queensland utilise groundwater from four high-yielding bores. These bores are about between 120 m deep and yield between 5 and 7 GL/annum. Since the 1970s Rockwater has conducted hydrogeological assessments, first developing the required water supplies and then implementing mine dewatering. Rockwater's numerical groundwater-flow model has been recalibrated to the observed water-level changes over many years of mining and provides reliable drawdown predictions.

For each post, we have used the following formula to determine an Engagement Score:
The Engagement Score is our attempt to quantify how effective a given post is at engaging the audience of an institution's page. We use likes, comments, and shares as signals of this engagement. We've assigned comments and shares twice the weighting of likes because we believe writing a comment or sharing a post with your Facebook friends is a stronger form of engagement than a simple click of the like link. A comment involves a person contributing new content and a share increases the distribution of the original post.
We recognize that this is a rudimentary measurement, but we believe it provides a high-level sense of how engaging a particular post is and a point of comparison when looking for trends and best practices. We also recognize that our metric focuses on particular forms of engagement (likes, comments, and shares). It does not take into account how many views a video may have received, how many click-thrus a link may have garnered, or whether a post led to particular actions by an audience member. We would love to be able to incorporate these metrics into our analysis, but are limited by the data provided by Facebook via its Graph API. You should consider incorporating these metrics when attempting to analyze your own institution's Facebook Page posts, where more data can be gleaned from the Insights section.

FCC Fines AFX $90,000 to Resolve Unauthorized Marketing Investigation on LED Light Fixtures. AFX's under-cabinet LED light fixtures were reportedly causing interference to AM/FM radio transmissions. Last year, the Bureau's Spectrum Enforcement Division issued a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) to AFX, directing it to submit a sworn written response to a series of questions relating to AFX's marketing of its LED lighting fixtures. Prior to AFX's receipt of the LOI, the LED light fixtures were not tested and authorized under the Commission's equipment authorization rules prior to marketing. AFX continued to market the light fixtures during an approximately 5-month period after receipt of the LOI. AFX subsequently resolved all matters relating to its apparent noncompliance with the Commission's equipment marketing rules.
In 2014, NPSTC issued a questionnaire and subsequent report in 2015 on Radio Interference from Energy Efficient Lighting. NPSTC had been approached by several individuals and organizations, who reported interference to public safety radio networks from energy efficient lighting. Las Vegas, Nevada, experienced extreme interference in the UHF band from a business using excited plasma lights. An incident management team operating at a fire in northern California had set up and tested all of its communications equipment, but during the evening operational period, all communications failed. The source was determined to be a string of overhead fluorescent lights.
NPSTC also wrote a letter to the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology to recommend the Commission open a proceeding to address the need for updates to its rules to help prevent interference from the outset as the deployment of energy efficient lighting is expected to increase over time.

The International Federation for Human Rights has condemned the suspension of five rights NGOs by Burundi's government.
The five rights protection non governmental organizations were suspended on 24 October through a ministerial decree.
Burundi's government withdrew permits of a prominent human rights organisation and several other non-profit groups, accusing them of stirring up hatred and tarnishing the nation's image, an order issued by the Interior Ministry said.
The government further had said that the NGOs were involved in activities that were considered to disrupt the state security.
The Federation warned that the suspension could lead to fatal human rights abuse in the central African country, which has also notified the UN of its decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court.
Not-profit and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have often been accused of taking sides against the government in a political crisis that has rumbled on since last year over President Pierre Nkurunziza's re-election for a third term.

(re-posted from March 2008)
I wish this story had a nice and neat ending, but it doesn't. I'm sharing it just to give you an idea of what a "typical" day can look like here, the situations people here are facing, and some of the frustrations of trying to get things done!!
Last week I met a little boy named Bevulile (or something similar that starts with a "B"). He's 10 yrs old, an orphan, and HIV positive. He's the nephew of one of the women I work with (Jabulile), and lives with his granny. When we went to his house last Tuesday he was sitting on a grass mat under a tree in their front yard (large dirt area). His arms and legs are about size of Ellie's (3 yrs). His cheeks are swollen, his hair is thinning. He missed most of last school year because of being sick. They said he was too weak to walk any more than the 15 feet to the outhouse. I'm not sure if it is all just from the HIV/AIDS or malnourishment…probably a combo of the two.
Language and cultural barriers can make communication SO HARD & FRUSTRATING. Jabulile had said the granny was refusing to let the boy go to the hospital. The granny said she had already taken him and that he was supposed to go back this week for a check up. To me, it looked like he needed to be in a hospital bed somewhere right away. Finally it was decided we'd wait til this week to take him to the doctor. In the mean time, we were able to get him some rehydration salts that I was hoping would help in some way.
So Tuesday morning we drove the 30 min out to Bevulile's house to pick him up and take him to the doctor. We walked into the "yard" and one of the nasty scrawny dogs laying under the tree jumped up and started coming at me growling and barking like crazy. I was sure I was about to be bitten. I'm glad no one was there with a video camera to catch the reaction on my face, or the weird dance I started doing. He finally ran away when I threw my keys at him. I'm sure the Swazi granny fell asleep laughing that night thinking about the tall American woman flailing around in her yard!
Anyway, I was suprised to find out Beluvile was at school. They said the dehydration salts had made him feel better, although I think it probably had more to do w/ all the prayers being thrown up on his behalf. We went to school and picked him up. He was walking, but from what I could see, not much else had changed. After heading back to his house to pick up his health card, which we'd forgotten to get the first time, we were off.
We drove 60 minutes to a special Pediatric HIV/AIDS clinic in Mbabane. It's the best care in the country, and absolutely free. We got there just over an hour before the clinic closed, and the waiting room was full of parents and children. They wouldn't even give us a number to try standing in line though, because Bevulile's health card said he had gotten his ARV drugs from another doctor in Manzini…30 minutes back towards where we had just come from…and needed to be check by him. SO, we all got back in the car and headed to Manzini. When I say "all of us," I mean myself, Bevulile, Jabulile his aunt, Ntombi a neighbor who could help translate for us, and her 10 month old baby, who was nursing in the front seat of my car for most of the journey.
We got to the hospital in Manzini and I dropped off my passengers to wait in line while I ran a couple errands. I came back 1.5 hours later and they were waiting for me outside. The doctor in Manzini had also refused to see Bevulile because he was supposed to come back for a check up 2 weeks from his last one. WE WERE ONE DAY EARLY. They said even if he was very very sick, they would not see him until after 2 weeks had passed. UGH! I was so frustrated at this point, wondering what we were supposed to do for this little boy that is still so sick, and feeling like there was nothing I could do. I gave them bus fare to head back home, and some extra money to buy some vegetables. I saw Jabulile today and she said she had been able to take him to the clinic for his check up on THE RIGHT day. The doctor said he was doing fine. BLAH!
So that's what my Tuesday looked like this week, and that's what life looks like for Bevulile and thousands of other children here every day. Please lift Bevulile up in prayer. Pray his body would become strong and that He would know the love and care of his his amazing Heavenly Father.
