About listing
Cynthia says... Beautiful duplex on a lovely quiet street in London's fashionable Notting Hill! Notting Hill is an area in West London, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The area is most well-known for Portobello Market (on Portobello Road, unsurprisingly), which runs every day except Sundays, and the Notting Hill Carnival, held every year on the last weekend in August. Two of my favourite smaller London museums are both within walking distance of Notting Hill. Leighton House and Linley Sambourne House are excellent examples of everyday life in the 1890's in London. Any fan of the Victorian Aesthetics Movement in art/books/lifestyle should make one of these museums a must visit!!! Of course, we couldn't talk about Notting Hill without mentioning the film and the BLUE DOOR Released in 1999 and starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, the film did much to promote and raise interest in the area.It was the reason so many shops relocated here and why other long standing ones had to close as the area became more expensive.It really has changed so much in the last 20 years.The area has so many shops and it's a foodie heaven with delis,coffee shops,tea rooms galore! About the Flat: The flat offers our guests plenty of space. The fact that it's split level allows a spacious environment to relax in.The kitchen is fully stocked with all the bits and pieces you'll need to ensure that cooking here will be a delight! Please take the shopping trolley out and stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables for your stay. The market is the place to head for this. There are also some excellent deli's within a few minutes walk. The closest large supermarket is 5 minutes away. After a day out shopping one can simply enjoy the garden and a glass of wine and unwind. The flat also has a power shower within a roomy bathroom. Notting Hill is a great place to visit, from its cafes and restaurants, its market and boutique shops, to its many pubs and bars. It holds much in the way of entertainment, whatever your interest - be it shopping, dining, film, drinking, clubbing or more! Things to do: Notting Hill still has three excellent independent cinemas and I would suggest visiting at least one of them on your visit. The Electric Cinema is closet to the flat and is a must see for any film lover. If you're a lover of music than a visit to the original Rough Trade shop on nearby Talbot Road is a must see! You'll find a vast array of recorded music and their walls of plastered with posters/handbills from the past 50 years of music in London.If Jazz is more up your street than a trip to Honest Jon's on Portobello Road. Books Books Books...yes this area still has some independent shops left. I mentioned that the Travel Bookshop is up for sale..but still trading(This is due to close Sept/2011)(now closed Dec 11). There's the excellent Books For Cooks on Blenheim Cres. Yes, it's all about food here and they also have special cookery evenings and plenty of authors signing their latest cookbook. One can really walk to several places of interest. I walked the entire way into the West End last week...passing several wonderful attractions. The walk did take about one hour and 10 minutes but on a lovely day it made us realise why we love London so much! You can walk via Hyde Park and pass the Royal Albert Hall and the Albert Memorial...and head up to Wellington Arch and straight down Piccadilly into Soho/Covent Garden.One needs to remember to wear comfortable shoes though! If you're booking during the summer season than an open air concert should be on the list of things to do. The flat is very close to Holland Park where one can listen and see Opera in the Park. This park is a pure delight...not as big as the other Royal Parks but it has a lovely Japanese Garden...not to mention the Peacocks and other wildlife. PLEASE NOTE-WE DO OUR BEST TO KEEP OUR CALENDAR UP TO DATE.WE ALSO HAVE OTHER FLATS THAT COULD BE AVAILABLE.PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE DETAILS.

I highly recommend this Notting Hill apartment. My family of 5 (3 kids ages 10, 13, 15) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean and well maintained. The three bedrooms gave us the space we needed to spread out. We did not cook, but the kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed for our take-away dinners, tea/coffee, cold drinks, etc. The dishwasher and washer/dryer were a plus. There is only one bathroom, but it is quite spacious with ample counter space and the shower is excellent. The location suited us perfectly. With Portobello Rd. only a block away, we were walking distance to cafes, grocery stores, shops, bus stops and the Underground station. We could easily get to all the London sites, but felt like we had a quiet retreat to return to at the end of the day. We were only there for 4 nights, but I could have made myself at home and stayed much longer. 09 July 2016 - 23:17:00
It provided the perfect spot from which to explore, close to public transport links and the vibrancy of the local area yet in a quiter residential street. Although the bedrooms provided enough space for 6 adults, we did feel the living area was a little smaller than expected with limited seating/dining for everyone. 03 January 2017 - 08:56:00
Excellent location, spacious, comfortable 13 November 2011 - 15:28:09
Great location, lovely ambiance to the apartment - a little warm on the second floor so I would not recommend renting in hot weaather, but excellent for any other time. Place was a tad shabby, but comfortable enough. Suggestions - changing the bottom skeleton key lock to a more user friendly one. I had a heart attack the first time leaving the flat when it took me 10 minutes to get in.........an extractor fan for the bathroom......an A/C unit would cool the whole place.......TV was not a flat screen, not a fuzzy picture but not crisp like British TV is.....I think they may have left the front entrance really unkempt with grody plants in pots so noone would break in.....back courtyard was also awful.... If you stay there make sure you try Bumpkin, one of the best "English" restaurants in London on Westbourne Park Road. Rating - overall decent value, wonderful for shortish stays but could be really charming......just needs a bit of investment and upgrading to be really wonderful..... 02 June 2012 - 22:25:54
Great location - very tidy and quiet - After 10 days of travel, it was lovely to have a "home" base and not be in a Hotel or Hostel. Just a short walk to Portabello Street. Where there are great resturants and quaint shops. The owners have done a lovely job of stocking the kitchen with all the right appliances to whip up a meal - but why should you when you could walk to resturants, bakeries and coffee shops. Felt like a true Londoner for 4 days. Would recommend this to family and friends for a great UK experience! 30 September 2012 - 23:07:01
This is a cosy, three-bedroom flat on two levels a stone's throw from Portobello Markets. It provided four of us with a comfortable holiday in London over Christmas. The flat is close to many restaurants and cafes, as well as the Notting Hill Gate Tube station. It's even walkable from the West End. There is a Tesco's in Portobello Road for comestibles too. We set up the flat with two single beds in the back upstairs bedroom and one in the front, as well as the double bedroom downstairs. 09 January 2013 - 00:56:07
The apartment in Notting Hill is very clean. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood, very pleasant, very easy to access. It is close to the bus, and a 15-mn walk to the underground. We stayed there with two children, and the flat was great. We stayed there in the winter, and the place was adequately warm. I would have only two comments. First, a minor thing: the addition of a teapot in a British flat is a must! ;) Second, the second bed in the bedroom is an inflatable bed. The ad says a convertible bed, which to me sounds like an armchair that can be converted into a bed. An inflatable bed is rather uncomfortable, and hard to sleep on. Given the price of the rental, I thought that an inflatable bed was not appropriate. 24 February 2013 - 20:49:50
Just stayed at this adorable property last week and we could not have been happier. It is just as cute as the pictures online and so well equipped, we needed nothing. The kitchen is compact but perfect for doing everything. We did not cook, but the gas stove was impressive. GREAT WiFi (which was a big deal for us because although we were "off" work, we had to check email frequently. Beds are very comfortable, shower is powerful and has plenty of hot water. I had a damn cold and was able to feel very cozy sleeping upstairs and I never touched the heat settings. They were perfect. My colleague prefers a bit cooler temp, so she stayed in the bedroom downstairs and was very happy. The location is incomparable. Steps to everything and so many super shops and restaurants. The Tube is maybe 10 minutes, Literally around the corner from Portobello Road and the market. Our greeter, Helen, was friendly and professional and patiently showed us every knob, switch, door, etc. I cannot imagine ever wanting to stay anyplace in London but this cute flat. I felt like Twiggy/Jean Shrimpton/Julie Christie living the swinging London scene in the 60's--BUT--with modern conveniences! I used 247 radio cab to get to Heathrow Sunday morning, by the way, and they were great -30 BP. Yeah, going to Paddington and taking the Express is way cheaper but I had a lot of luggage and I did not feel like ruining my "holiday" by going through that effort. Highest recommendation--from a very picky, American frequent traveler! 23 October 2013 - 14:15:56
Who doesn't want to stay in the swanky part of London? This was the perfect location for our family during our Spring Break trip. The flat was a great set up for our family of 4 including 2 teen sons. They each chose their room. It was nice to have space to spread out and relax. Our greeter, Helen, couldn't have been more cheerful and helpful when we arrived a little late in the evening from Copenhagen. She filled us in on everything we needed to know. The location is perfect. We spent Saturday morning wandering the Portobello Road Market which is just a couple of blocks away. There's a grocery store with friendly staff just a few blocks the other direction. We felt completely safe walking there quite late our first night. The Tube Station is about a 10 minute walk but it's a walk full of fun shops, beautiful homes and great places to eat so it may take you longer! The only downside was the neighbors we shared the building with - which can't be controlled. Our first night and day were very quiet, but then they must have returned late Sunday night. Our last couple of days we had at least one time where it sounded like they were dragging furniture around their flat while performing River Dance in tap shoes. The next night they had their music on quite late at night. I suggest some earplugs for night time. I assume this is just the nature of these old row houses and the way they have been broken up in to flats. We called it our "unique London experience". It didn't ruin the stay but I it was a annoyance after a long day of sight-seeing. I think we got even when we took showers at 4:30 the morning we left. The shower pump makes a lot of noise. :-) 31 May 2014 - 23:29:19
Our family of 5 (3 kids between the ages of 7 and 12) had a wonderful stay in this well-equipped flat. It was quiet, easy to get to everywhere: shopping, restaurants, and tube. We felt very safe walking around the neighborhood throughout the day and evening. The bathroom is huge! We had everything we needed during our 5 night stay. And being so close to Portabello Rd. made shopping for food or dinner a breeze. Our greeter was friendly and extremely helpful. We had a lovely stay! 23 June 2016 - 22:57:13
This is a lovely home, convenient location for shopping and transit. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms with 2 single beds in each, plus a downstairs bedroom with queen bed. It's so nice to have all the beds for larger families. The upper bedroom fronting the street can be a bit noisy, so put your heavy sleepers or earplug wearers in that one. Washer and dryer is great for traveling light. We cooked meals in, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Greeter Benedicte was friendly and very personable, plus great communication with the owners. Everything was clean and tidy, the towels and linens smelled great too! Plenty of travel books available in the home. 03 April 2017 - 15:40:00
Great location and perfect for our family's needs. Benedicte was lovely and very helpful, gave us lots of info about the local area. Fantastic break! 28 July 2017 - 23:22:00
Really good location for exploring locally but also very handy for getting right into the centre too. The kids loved it (especially the pink house down the road). Property was really spacious and well equipped and Benedicte the lady who met us was really friendly and accommodating and even posted back my little girls teddy she'd managed to drop behind the bed! Would definitely recommend for either families or not as it would work well for both due to being on a surprisingly quiet street but very close to busier ones. 04 August 2017 - 09:22:00
Your flat is in a prime location, so many good eats and shopping. The close proximity to the tube and bus made excursions easy. The flat was just big enough for us (2 adults and 4 teens), it is tidy, and Benedicte was extremely helpful and welcoming. Thank you for a lovely introduction to England! 12 August 2017 - 02:08:00
We stayed for 2 nights, when we came there was some one waiting for us with the house ready and clean. Its very close to the underground so very easy to go any where in london area. The house itself is very comfort, with beds for 6-7 ppl, a great solution for family with kids/ groups. Hot water all day and night, clean bathroom and toilets, wish fresh towels and all you need. There is also a kitchen with electrinics and all, though we didnt cock or used it. GREAT value for money with prime location! 15 October 2017 - 15:04:00
Maisonnette cosy, bien adapte pour un couple avec enfants, fonctionnelle, bien quipe. Emplacement idal, calme mais deux pas du march de portobello, et 1/2 heure du centre de Londres par la ligne de bus 23 ou par le mtro. Seuls bmols : la pice de vie est assez sombre et le jardinet pas vraiment utilisable 01 November 2017 - 06:56:00
Casa acogedora en un sitio muy bueno. Tranquila por la noche y a un paso de Portobello as que si quieres tomar algo o un super ests a nada. A unos diez minutos de la parada de metro ms prxima y con paradas de autobs cerca tambin. James, muy atento en todo momento y la persona que nos recibi al llegar muy simptica y nos explico todo muy bien. Respecto a la casa, yo repetira sin duda porque hemos estado cuatro personas adultas muy a gusto. Es ms pequea de lo que parece en las fotos pero como he dicho anteriormente muy acogedora, de esas casas que nada ms llegar ya te sientes a gusto. Solo le pongo un pero y es que le falta una vuelta de mantenimiento y de cario. Nada que no se pueda solucionar sustituyendo algunas bombillas que no encienden o poniendo un poco ms de orden en las habitaciones. Por lo dems nos ha encantado. 16 October 2017 - 23:01:00
Its not fancy, but it is very functional! Had all the little things we needed which made it much better than a hotel. A great location, easy to get around, close to the grocery stores, and an easy 15 min walk to the underground. Loved having multiple bedrooms so our teens had some space. Worked great for us! 04 November 2017 - 13:30:00
Finding a 3 bedroom apartment in this part of London was really helpful for our family of 5. The location of the apartment was utterly tremendous - a minute away from excellent Gail's bakery and all the great cafes, restaurants and shops on Portobello rd, and a really easy 5 min walk to the Notting Hill Gate tube. One day we even strolled from the apartment through Hyde Park, St James park into central London - fantastic! The apartment itself is really well equipped - having a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier was really useful. That said, we felt the apartment could benefit from a really good springclean and an upgrade of some of the old and tired furniture and carpeting. Despite the run down feeling, we still had a very good week here. 30 December 2017 - 10:32:00
This is a very spacious flat in a great neighborhood with shopping, restaurants, outdoor market and transportation hubs all very convenient. Washer and dryer as well as basics for cooking and plenty of beds for larger groups. Property manager was easily accessible and responsive when we had an issue with hot water not working. Wonderful place for families to stay to spread out and have space. 04 January 2018 - 20:07:00

In this paper I present an energy efficient reconfigurable MIMO (Multiple input Multiple output)decoder accelerator hardware architecture. It delivers full programmability across different wireless standards (i.e., WiFi, 3G-long term evolution, and WiMax) as well as different MIMO decoding algorithms (i.e., minimum mean square error, singular value decomposition, and maximum likelihood) with extreme energy efficiency. We propose an Hough transform architecture instead of CORDIC for the Rotation unit in the processing core . The energy efficiency of our MIMO accelerator chip was compared against existing programmable MIMO accelerator, it delivered energy efficiencies that were 5% less than the existing system.
|CORDIC, Hough Architecture, Reconfigurable MIMO (Multiple input Multiple output) decoder, Rotation Unit.
|Multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) processing and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are two dominant technologies in emerging wireless communications systems .MIMO is an antenna technology for wireless communications in which multiple antennas are used at both the source and destination to minimize errors and optimize data speed[1-5].In OFDM a wideband frequency selective fading channel is divided into several independent narrowband flat-fading sub channels. A MIMO decoder is the receiver component that separates the Nss transmitted data streams from the signals received on the Nrx receives antennas. The MIMO decoding operation is matrix and vector intensive. For an OFDM system, this processing is repeated for every sub channel. MIMO-OFDM techniques improve data rate and reliability. Several publications [6-13] report on various hardware designs and implementations for MIMO decoders. but these decoder designs use a single MIMO decoding algorithm such as zero forcing (ZF), minimum mean square error (MMSE)[6],[7]. maximum likelihood (ML) [8] or one of the many sphere decoding (SD) variants[9-11], Several reconfigurable MIMO decoders have been reported in the literature[10-12] .These designs are neither flexible enough to be tailored to a new standard.
|New wireless communication standards and new MIMO decoding algorithms emerging every few years, existing systems need to be redesigned and upgraded not only to meet the newly defined standards, but also to allow integration of multiple standards onto the same platform and improve performance via more advanced decoding algorithms. A programmable MIMO decoder design is reported in [13-17] but it consumes more power because of its complex and iterative nature and it is not reliable because of the possibility of error. There is need for a more flexible, yet efficient MIMO decoder implementation. Such a decoder should ideally be able to serve multiple standards simultaneously without compromising any of the throughput, area, and power requirements. Paper is organized as follows. Section II describes MIMO Hardware architecture and related work of the MIMO accelerator, Section III describes Rotation unit and Section IV presents experimental results showing simulation results of proposed Rotation unit MIMO accelerator. Finally, Section V presents conclusion.
|The MIMO accelerator architecture is shown in Fig 1. The main challenge in designing the memory map was providing a centralized data memory that allows general modes of access to data, independent of the algorithm,while maintaining the ability to provide the data vectors arranged in the correct order to and from the processing cores in a single cycle[16].The processing core is optimized for programmable processing of matrix operations necessary for linear MIMO decoders.
|The MIMO accelerator is a complex number vector-based processor that works on complex vector operands of length Nrx —where Nrx is the number of receive antennas used in the MIMO system. Since most MIMO decoding algorithms can be broken down into a series of vector operations, the processor uses a vector as its smallest operand.
|The processing core consists of four Processing units: 1. Matrix addition/Subtraction unit ,2.Inner product unit 3.Vector element- wise division unit and 4.Rotation unit. These operations are necessary and sufficient for coverage of major linear MIMO decoding algorithms [14].The number of units in each core is chosen to equalize the number of outputs and force them to be a multiple of the vector size.
|The four processing units are shown. Where Fig 2. shows the addition unit, which is an adder/subtractor that can process two pairs of Nrx complex vectors simultaneously. Examples of its uses are the formulation of the MMSE matrix and the calculation of the SD metrics.
|The fourth processing unit is the rotation unit. It is the most power hungry unit in the processing core. Generally it consists of a group of coordinate rotation (CORDIC) blocks[18]. Here CORDIC is COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer, also known as the digit-by-digit method. It takes so many iterations to complete a single rotation so it consumes more power. This can be modified by using Hough architecture. It works based on line segment and produces a rotated sequence with reduced number of iteration [19]so the power consumption can be minimized .
|A block diagram of the proposed architecture is shown in Fig. 5. Run-length encoding is a simple process which reads the binary values from the input and output the{rb,code,zl}triplet. The PE is run-time configurable for computing Hough transform of any angles. Each PE calculates the consolidated ρθ values for all the input data where ρθ represents ρ value for a line with angle θ. The Vote Memory stores all the votes. Here we use both inter-block and intra-block incrementing in their PE. The inter-block incrementing shown in Fig.6. that calculates the ρθ(po) of first input where ρθ represents ρ value for a line with angle θ which passes through the point p. The intra-block incrementing calculates ρθ(x,y) values of other data s after the inter-block incrementing. Two accumulators can be used to implement the inter-block incrementing as shown in Fig. 6, where Nsinθ can be precomputed. In order to skip zero-blocks, a step-table is introduced in the proposed architecture. Col-reg calculates theρθ(po) values for the nonzero blocks in a block-row in the -direction every clock cycle, and row-reg calculates ρθ(po) values for the first blocks of block-rows in the -direction every time after a block-row processing is completed.
|In Intra-block incrementing and the computed ρθ(po) can be used to calculate all the other ρθ values in the block simultaneously by using the corresponding dx,dy,cosθ and sinθ values This will result in seven more ρθ values. For the whole data, the eight votes in the memory addressed by the eight ρθ values will need to be accumulate . The computed ρθ(po) is divided into the integer part i0 and the fractional part f0 only the fractional part is used for calculating the voteoffsets as shown in Fig. 7. The first stage of Fig. 7 calculates the vote-offsets V0i for the ith input The vote-offsets range from 0 to 4, and are represented by 3-b numbers. These numbers are decoded by 3:8 decoders as shown in the second stage of Fig. 7. In Fig. 8, the outputs of the decoders are combined with the values of the corresponding input using a combination logic circuit to determine Vi, which represents the consolidated number of votes for each different vote-offset.
|Core and memory input switch shown in Fig.9 have the ability to to provide the data vectors arranged in the correct order to and from the processing cores in a single cycle. This data is logically divided into a number of complex―matrix variables‖ of size Nrx by Nrx. When an instruction is executed for a subchannel, the chunk of data associated with the subchannel is retrieved and then delivered to the core-input switch. As shown in Fig.7. The core-input switch is a two level multiplexing circuit that selects and properly arranges the complex vectors needed by the processing core—whether they are row vectors, column vectors, matrix diagonals, or a combination thereof.
|The memory-input switch performs the same task, but in the reverse direction. It takes the outputs of the processing units and properly packages them so as to write all data associated with the given OFDM subcarrier into the appropriate memory location.
|Above Fig.10 shows the simulation result of rotation unit using hough architecture , the results vv1,vv2,vv3&vv4 shows the rotated value and the Table.10 shows the power consumption comparison of CORDIC and HOUGH architecture.
|This paper presented the ASIC implementation of the reconfigurable MIMO accelerator . The accelerator is fully programmable within the domain of algorithms and functions needed to implement MIMO decoding (MMSE, SVD, QR, etc.) for any arbitrary system or standards (i.e., WiFi, LTE, etc.). The paper presented the hough architecture for the Rotation unit. The power consumption of this architecture was measured to be 151mw.. When compared this with the existing CORDIC architecture, the accelerator energy consumption was 5% less than the existing design.

Over the past few weeks, the entire nation (and its media) has been fixated on Maulana's upcoming Azadi March, scheduled to kick-off in just 2 weeks from today. We hang onto every word said by Maulana, his deputies, his allies, and of course his adversaries (read: the government). For all intents and purposes, without marching a single mile, Maulana has already achieved his political goal: that of being center-stage in our ongoing political drama.
In fact, truth be told, Maulana has not experienced such political relevance over the past fifteen years. Certainly not since 2002, when his alliance of religious political parties (the MMA) came within shooting distance of forming its government in the center – later settling for Maulana becoming Leader of the Opposition during Musharraf years.
Be that as it may, it is important for the government to listen to Maulana today, with the aim of avoiding the possibility of a religious dharna in Islamabad.
But before assessing what the government can (or cannot) do to assuage Maulana, let us start by recounting an interesting comparison – between Maulana's upcoming march, and the one carried out by Imran Khan's PTI in 2014.
Curiously, the 2014 march and dharna by PTI was dubbed as "Azadi March", which is exactly what Maulana has decided to call his upcoming congregation. In 2014, PTI launched its Azadi March 435 days after Nawaz Sharif's government was formed (on 5th June, 2013); Uncannily, Maulana has also launched his Azadi March exactly 435 days after PTI government as formed. PTI's Azadi March was ostensible aimed at electoral rigging, a recounting in 4 constituencies, followed by a call of early elections; Maulana, true in spirit, has also claimed that his march is against electoral riggings, which resulted in the formation of this "selected" government. In 2014, PTI had promised to stage their dharna till such time that the then government (or the Prime Minister) resigns; Maulana has changed nothing from PTI's playbook, claiming that his party and workers will continue to sit in Islamabad till the government resigns. PTI's 2014 dharna was centered around a 'container' the abode for Imran Khan. Maulana's workers also claim to have made a similar 'container', being kept at a safe location for now, which will be Maulana's residence during his stay in Islamabad.
If one didn't know better, it would be easy to conclude that Maulana is copying Imran Khan. But I am not sure Maulana would agree with this (self-evident) conclusion.
Pun aside, the upcoming march and dharna of Maulana is serious business. And it requires serious minded people to find some way out, without threatening to derail our precarious democratic enterprise. Specifically, the government and its senior political leadership must efforts to avoid the impending standoff.
To this end, the government has a four broad options at hand.
One: the government can try and reach out to Maulana, with the aim of avoiding this Azadi March, and its culminating dharna. As a first step, this will require PTI members to stop mocking the Maulana, or tweeting insults against him and his supporters. This is no time for momentary laughs; it is a time for meaningful reconciliation. In all likelihood, any attempt to assuage Maulana will necessarily require PTI's leadership, and specifically Imran Khan, to personally reach out to Maulana, breaking whatever gridlock governs their personal relationship. At the very least, the 'serious' political leaders within PTI – from Shah Mehmood Qureashi to Jehangir Tareen – will have to walk to Maulana, with hat in hand, and find some way to convince him call off his march. And, of course, Maulana will want something in return. A seat at the table, perhaps. Even if PTI can somehow convince Maulana to retract his demand of dismissing the government, Maulana will still need to 'given' something. What that might be, is really up to Maulana. Because, up until now, over the the past thirty years of politicking, Maulana has always agreed to 'settle' for something or the other. Maybe he is still open to such suggestions.
Importantly, over the past few days, Imran Khan seems to have directed his party leadership to open communication channels with Maulana. Let us just hope that the people cracking jokes at Maulana's expense are not the ones entrusted with appeasing him.
Two: the government can arrest Maulana and his key supporters, before they launch their march. This would be a terrible option to exercise. Not only will it not help the situation, or make it worse, it may even infuse a renewed sense of vigor his Maulana's supporters, compounding the political and security challenges at hand. It may be the worst possible option available to the government, and result in wide-spread agitation that our country cannot bear at this time.
Three: the government can erect roadblocks and other impediments to try and stop Maulana and his supporters from reaching Islamabad. This too, would be a horrendous option. Not only will such impediments not prevent Maulana from reaching Islamabad, they will (in all likelihood) result in a confrontation between Maulana's supporters and law enforcement officials, which could turn bloody without much provocation. For a country that continues to suffer the memory of Model Town Massacre, any scuffle between Maulana's supporters and the police, which results in spilling of blood, will spell the end of PTI's government. No one, in their sane mind, can stand by and watch such atrocity unfold in our streets again.
Four: the government could just let Maulana and his supporters come to Islamabad, unhindered, and hope that they dwindle or dissipate over time. This will amount to placing a bet against Maulana's perseverance to stay in the container for too long, or to be able to keep his supporters engaged for long enough to bear results. After all, Maulana is not someone known for his simple tastes and frugal living. He has been out of the Minister enclave for just over a year (after 10 years of living there) and already he is turning to desperate measures to regain past glory. Maybe he does not have the perseverance to carry this dharna for too long. Perhaps he does. But certainly, allowing him to come to Islamabad is far better an option than resorting to violence in order to stop him.
Truth be told the first of these options (of negotiating with Maulana to avoid this March and dharna) is really the only plausible strategy available to the Imran Khan and his government. With all the acrimony on our borders, this is not time to gamble with domestic peace. It is no time to challenge political stability. Whatever ego or impediments stand in the way of talking to Maulana, must be set aside by the Prime Minister. He has to show that he can be the bigger person here. Not for the sake of survival of his government – no. But for the sake of ensuring that the ship of our State moves towards calmer waters and a brighter tomorrow.

That's the new mantra across campus as Kent State students want to be counted – as voters, not just student residents. To kick off REV, Kent State committed to an all-across campus push.
The push will be handled in three stages - Registration...then Education, hopefully through a variety of forums and then pushing students to vote early, vote through absentee or to vote on Election Day, Nov. 6.
Led by students, faculty and staff, the Kent Votes coalition started mid-summer with an assembling of groups that included student government, NAACP, the KSU Library, May 4 Visitors Center, the Engaged Learning community, Black United Students, LWV-KENT, LGBTQ Center, the national Campus Vote-PROJECT DEMOCRACY, Student Multicultural Center, Political Science Department, the Centre for the Study of Gender and Sexuality, the KSU Women's Center, United Campus Ministries and many more. The coalition has been meeting every two weeks since.
Posters have cropped up across campus, throughout the residence halls and across town. Registration tables were set up periodically, drawing dozens in to change their registrations or to register anew. In social media, the group established a Facebook page as well as used a Twitter account.
What has been heartening to LWV-KENT is the group's enthusiasm for the end result -hopefully more students voting in future elections. President Stacy Yaniglos, Jane Preston Rose, Iris Meltzer and Barb Hipsman have attended meetings, offering historical perspective and also sharing some of the LWV-OHIO pamphlets and flyers.
Previously elections have found one or two or three groups asking for help, usually through now League member Donna Carlton. But with the emergence of this coalition, we hope voter service on campus will become habit! Thanks to all who have helped when we've asked.

Vienna International Centre, Rotunda
Climate neutrality of Vienna International Centre
The event is scheduled as a side event to the thirty-second session of the Programme and Budget Committee (21-22 June 2016) and will take place on:
Tuesday, 21 June 2016, at 2:30 p.m. at the rotunda (C-building).
Buildings Management Services (BMS) is managed by UNIDO and is funded jointly by all the organizations based at the Vienna International Centre. The "Greening the Blue" initiative set a deadline for all United Nations entities to achieve a system-wide net zero climate footprint by 2020. However, through its successful cooperation with and support by the Government of Austria, BMS has reached this goal ahead of time and the VIC is, as of 2016, climate neutral.
In order to achieve this unique landmark, the VIC now uses electricity from 100 per cent renewable resources and its carbon emissions have been reduced by 56 per cent. Furthermore, BMS implemented substantive building-efficient upgrades, such as the installation of energy-efficient lighting, improvements to the air conditioning system, and the replacement of the façade window glazing.
The celebration will feature statements by representatives of the VIC-based organizations and of His Excellency Ambassador Wolfgang Angerholzer, Director, Organization of International Conferences and Matters Relating to International Organizations in Austria.

This project, called the Phoolwari (meaning "Garden of flowers") project was started in the year 2002 under the guidance and leadership of The Full Gospel Trust of India, New Delhi and its founder, Rev. Dr. Abraham Sahu. The aim of the project has been to serve the children deprived of their right to education, health and other rights. The focus had been on the children and their families living in the slum called Suraj Park (Sun Garden). Once the largest of all slums in Delhi, this slum is located in the North-west side of Delhi and has an estimated population of 40,000 people, out of which 15,000 are children. These children had been living in the most challenging situations and with a dark future. These children came to Delhi along with their parents from the various neighboring states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. These people came to Delhi in search of job and due to high living cost and house rents, started living in the encroached government lands. Lack of basic amenities, sewer and drainage facilities gave rise to unhygienic living situations leading to various diseases. Like any other slums, this slum too had problems such as absence of school, medical care, etc. along with an escalating crime rate, unemployment and other social ills such as drugs, drinking, gambling and crime against women.
TFG Trust has taken upon itself the task of reaching this community through its lovely children who are the future of India. In 2002 the TFG Trust initiated an active dialogue with Compassion, India for partnership and entered into the same. With this partnership TFG Trust has been working towards transforming the lives of children and their families through the Phoolwari CDC, which is committed to walk with the children, especially those in poverty. The TFG Trust works with and for them without any prejudice to Religion, caste, color, creed or sex. Through its four stage holistic development programme, the Phoolwari CDC enables and equips the children to stand in the society and become responsible adult citizens of India. A full holistic development! In the beginning, the project started with 75 children but now is serving over 300 children and their families. In this short span of time the project has been able to impact the lives of thousands of people and many hundreds of children.
Baal Panchayat and Child Parliament
Phoolwari Project was started on 2nd August 2002 and at that time all the children were very small but in the last years most of the children have entered their teen ages and that brings in many temptations and problems for children. Many are tempted to escape school and get into various forms of drug use such as sniffing, alcohol, pornography, engaging in sexual adventures and activities, stealing, crimes etc., To eradicate or help the children to overcome these problems, the project planned to start "Bal Panchayat" in the community. This also will develop in them the leadership ability, that is required so much. On January, 2009, the "Bal Panchayat" was formally formed. It elected five "Panchs", one "Sarpanch" and twenty five "Karyakarta" from five blocks of the Surajpark Slum in Delhi. Soon enough the "Bal Panchayat" decided to take up cleanliness issue in their slum and carried a cleanliness drive and cleaned the lanes and drains in the slum. Afterwards, many other activities like awareness rallies on health issues, legal issues and right issues were carried out with the help of handbills, bills, banners and posters.
On 11th April, the Baal Panchayat initiated the Child Parliament. On 14th April, 2009 the child parliament election was organised and five ministers were elected. These were the Prime-minister, Home minister, Education minister, Health Minister and Child Welfare Minister. These two programmes are being carried out since then and children are getting involved in managing the affairs of the community and even carrying out Baseline Survey. It is encouraging to see the leadership talents emerging in them and getting stronger with the passage of time.

On a reading-related note, I'm still plugging away at The Mists of Avalon. Sheesh, that's one big book!
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
It's that time of year again! Most of this week I'll be attending the Texas Library Association conference, which is here in Houston this year. My goal is to NOT come home with the 45 advanced reader copies I ended up with last year, which I've barely made a dent in. I'm sure I won't be able to resist a few, though. Hopefully the fact that I'll have to drag them home on the bus will be a deterrent!

The working state of ball mill is influenced by types of ball mill and the grinding conditions. Different types of ball mill should be chosen due to different grinding conditions. Now, the relationship between types of ball mill and grinding conditions will be introduced briefly below.
The type of ball mill is related to the water content of ore. For the type of MQG dry grid ball mill, water content of ore should be controlled strictly before grinding. High water content would easily led to the solidarity of ore, blocking the grid linder of ball mill, and making difficult for ball mill to discharge.
The type of ball mill is related to the optimal speed of ball mill. The optimal speed of GZMg、MQG grid ball mill is higher than that of GZM、MQY overflow ball mill. The reason is that steel balls in grid ball mill mainly do parabolic drop motion, but steel balls in overflow ball mill do diarrhea drop motion. Therefore, the speed of grid ball mill is higher than that of overflow ball mill.
The type of ball mill is related to the filling rates of steel balls and its size. GZMg、MQG grid ball mills have grid linder in discharge port, which blocks the discharge of steel balls. Therefore, the filling rates of steel balls are higher and the size of steel ball is smaller in grid ball mill.
The type of ball mill is related to the ship of liner. It is wave shape liner that raise stell balls and ore to a certain height, which contributes to saving energy. GZMg and MQG grid ball mill that are coarse grinding equipment adopt the wave shape liner. Steel balls do diarrhea drop motion due to smoothing shape liner, which helps to the grinding effect and increase the fineness of grinding. Therefore, GZM and MQY overflow ball mill that are fine grinding equipment always adopt the smooth shape liner.
The type of ball mill is related to the speed of ore feeding. The efficiency of GZMg and MQG grid ball mill is higher than that of GZM, MQY overflow ball mill. Therefore, the former has higher speed of feeding.
Xinhai mining machine provides customers with practical suggestions for selecting types of ball mill. Xin Hai also provides the best grinding conditions, and the most suitable type and specification of ball mills, which are higher efficiency of work, more reliable and stable operation.
Wet grid ball mill is composed with cylinder: wearable lining board is inlayed in cylinder inside, and two ends have flange, which is connected with end cover of mill by bolts. ... [more]
The separation of copper sulphide minerals and iron sulfide minerals can also be called as the separation of copper and sulfur. Copper sulfur separation scheme is generally preferred flotation. ... [more]

Play on-line bass drum, snare drum, hihat, toms and cymbals of the very best drummers – To change the default settings, click on on the drumset aspect you wish to set, then click on the important thing you want it to be coupled with. In an earlier paper (Castronova, 2001a), I described the financial system of Norrath (the virtual world of the sport EverQuest) as if it were a standard Earth economy, complete with statistics covering such actions as production, labour provide, revenue, inflation, foreign commerce and foreign money alternate.
You have to pay for and obtain every game individually, and so far every sport is $7.ninety nine. But as a result of Arcade Archives is already available on different platforms, we are able to make some cheap guesses as to what outdated games will soon hit this Swap pseudo-Virtual Console.
The MMOG market supports as many as eight million players for World of Warcraft, but whereas there might be this many players concentrated in this single digital world, there are significantly fewer elsewhere (one or two have one million gamers, most have less than a quarter of 1,000,000).
Virtual worlds are additionally particularly useful for growing AIs which can be destined to ultimately function as bodily robots, says Hofmann, because such environments are cheaper to customise, and quicker and safer to practise in than the true world.

The Erdem show is a highlight of a beauty journalist's London Fashion Week every year and this season was no exception.
Make-up artist Val Garland created three different looks for the show, each using the forthcoming Nars x Erdem Strange Flowers range.
'We were inspired by the red lip his mother always wore,' Garland told awaiting press backstage at the National Portrait Gallery. 'No matter what, she wore a strong red lip – we were also thinking all things aristocratic and inspired by flowers. It's a 1930s, 1940s vibe with the make-up this year – posh totty goes to the movies!'
The beautiful red powdered pout, created using the new Poison Rose Lip Powder palette, was paired with a glossy, iridescent eye and satin skin – 'dewy but not shiny', said Garland.
The skin, created using Nars Radiant Longwear Foundation, Soft Matte Concealer and Soft Velvet Loose Powder, was enhanced by White Phox – a multi-use highlighting pencil from the new collection, and one which leaves a gorgeous bluish purple undertone to a highlight.
'Our second look is a strong eye, rounded out in a Sarah Moon sort of way,' said Garland. 'We've bleached some of the girls' eyebrows so it's all about the eye. We've used a black chubby pencil and a grey one, then used this incredible black lip gloss [At First Sight Vinyl Lip Lacquer, out Fall 2018] on the eyes afterwards. It's a very film noir eye, paired with gorgeous skin and a little pop of mushroomy pink on the lips.'
The third look starred an aubergine stain on the lips, courtesy of one of the six new sheer lipsticks featured in the Strange Flowers collection, which also includes two eyeshadow palettes and a set of blotting papers.
The floral motif-ed makeup range, which will no doubt be as well received as Erdem's 2017 collection for H&M, will launch globally on 1 May.

Watch: Donald, Melania Trump Celebrate the 'Miracle of Christmas' in Message to Americans
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump sent a Christmas message to Americans Monday, urging them to celebrate the "miracle of Christmas" with each other.
"My fellow Americans, Melania and I are delighted to wish America and the rest of the world a very Merry Christmas," Trump said in a video, which featured the first couple at the White House.
First Lady Melania Trump commented that Christmas was a time to "see the best of America and the soul of the American people," and paid tribute to the Armed Forces.
Donald Trump continued, sharing the Christmas message from Scripture:
In the season of joy, we spend time with our families, we renew the bonds of love and goodwill between our citizens and most importantly we celebrate the miracle of Christmas. For Christians, we remember the story of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph that began more than 2,000 years ago. As the book of Isaiah tells us, for to us a child is born, to us a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. This good news is the greatest Christmas gift of all, the reason for our joy and the true source of our hope.
Melania Trump noted that the Christmas season was a season of celebration and thanksgiving for the blessings Americans received and a chance to pray for peace around the world.
"On behalf of Melania, myself, Barron and the entire Trump family God bless you, God bless America, and have a very very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year," President Trump concluded.
The post Watch: Donald, Melania Trump Celebrate the 'Miracle of Christmas' in Message to Americans appeared first on News Wire Now.

- Send a Camper
- Work At Camp
- Alumni
How does food factor into showing kids the best one or two weeks of their lives? Well, quite a lot, actually!
At LLYC, we hold food service to the same standard as all other aspects of camp … excellence with a high calling. We believe good food and a great meal experience is integral to the ministry and program of camp. Its quality reflects the broader program as a whole.
During the months of September through May, a great deal of planning and forethought go into food services for the following summer and for each camper's meal experience as a whole. The camp directors and Food Service Manager spend many hours together, evaluating and tweaking the entire food experience, including safety, nutrition, taste/quality, and fun! It is our mission to ensure that meal time reflects the excellence, creativity, and spontaneity of LLYC.
In keeping with the importance placed on relationships at LLYC, most meals are served "family style." We see so much benefit to serving meals this way. Counselors serve as the hosts of each table, fostering the camper/counselor family dynamic. It also helps to alleviate any uncertainty or insecurity on the camper's part about where to sit or who to sit with. At camp, we want to encourage a real sense of community, and meal time is the perfect time to do just that.
With allergy awareness and food sensitivities on the rise, parent communication remains crucial to meal planning. On opening day, our Food Service Manager and Ranch House Managers are set up to conference with each camper's parent regarding any allergies or food sensitivities. Armed with this information, we inform and train our kitchen staff (Lead Cooks, Cooks, and Work Crew Bosses) and we make camp-wide menu adjustments where needed.
LLYC does not offer peanuts or peanut products. If there is a severe nut allergy (airborne or other), LLYC is prepared to remove all nuts and nut derivatives from camp on a case-by-case basis. In such a situation, all peanut or tree nut related items are removed from the kitchen, Sugar Shack, and cabins for the session. Care packages are searched, and all nut items are removed prior to delivery. Camper safety and parents' peace of mind is always our top priority.
This summer, we truly look forward to developing community around the table and enjoying fun, nutritious, wonderful meals together!

Here is a potential guide that can create not only impressions but also the right impact. Online photo editing companies apply creative techniques and tools. Although the services are available only with experience and knowledge one learns how to make them useful for their clients.
The idea now is to create an impression of the image. Digitally helping an image to look better is an art and has become possible with clipping path services. Online photo editors now specialize in these photoshop tools to help their clients to get better results from their photos and images. And now that all businesses function with websites, an online presence needs better visuals of the logo, pictures and overall design element. How can they make use of various techniques to upgrade their existing websites, photo stocks, inventory of products, online catalogues? By use of clipping path services, that online photo editors work with. All these jobs can be outsourced. With many professionals using photoshop and its diverse tools, the competition lies in pricing and turnaround time for most clients.
A background of an image can be deleted and replaced. A silhouette of an image can be created for added effect. Quick masking can be performed with Adobe or with photoshop tools. Extract filters and masking software are also used. Manual clipping path services require detailing and can be done by only very experienced artists. An offshore company that has reasonable pricing, can deliver good results with high quality clipping path services and other complex operations. Value added services also are given with samples so that clients can discern the best way of the final look of the image.
Graphic designs are also employed in some images with the help of Photoshop Image Masking, Image Outlining, or Image Cutout. Sometimes manual cut out is also helpful in making an image stand out. At times it provides better results too. With the help of other techniques like color correction and multiple masking, the desired image can be worked upon. Various tools help in segregating the image into sections. If the image has any historical value, it becomes a challenge for the editor to work on. The enclosed path is the defined inclusive path. With proper isolation the object is worked upon. Several images can be worked upon. With computer tools it is not very hard to repeat the process with other pictures.
Creative photo editors are able to use the clipping path services for all kinds of image formats whether it is JPEG, Bitmap, TIFF, PSD or any other. A free trial is also possible for a single image. The ability of an expert lies in turning the clipping path service into a niche vector path defining the right nuances of the image. Whether he will create a sketch around an object or erase a pixel, he can guide a client. Any client who is into e-commerce can be benefitted by this essential service. The same can add value to the brochure of the company also.
