Martin Lewis reveals prosecco TRICK to get bottles for just £1.50 in time for Christmas
MARTIN LEWIS revealed a trick to getting prosecco for just £1.50 - and this is how you can get your hands on the amazing offer.
Martin Lewis, 45, appeared on Good Morning Britain today to share his deals of the week.
Prosecco is extremely popular at this time of year, and Martin revealed how to get a bottle for £1.50 in time for Christmas.
Martin explained: "The deal is on at Sainsbury's for new buyers online.
"Six bottles of Prosecco Frizzante is £6 a bottle, and right now until Monday if you buy six online you get 25 per cent off. This works out at £4.50 a bottle.
New customers can then use code SCSSEONOV18 to get £18 when you spend £60
"New customers can then use code SCSSEONOV18 to get £18 when you spend £60. Do your normal shopping, and this then works out at £1.50 a bottle."
Martin explained the mechanics of the deal in detail, and said: "So it's £27 for six bottles, so you'd need to spend £33 on groceries to reach the £60 minimum spend.
"Then with the £18 off, it's £42. As you've spent £33 on normal groceries, it's £9 for the six bottles of prosecco, or £1.50 per bottle (plus delivery if you can't pick up in a store for free)."
Martin also advised viewers to make sure their substitutions settings are correct to avoid any surprises.
Martin Lewis, money saving expert, revealed how to get prosecco for just £1.50 a bottle
Martin Lewis, money saving expert, also shared a number of quick deals for the week
He said: "If you only want the cheapest prosecco or champagne, make sure you untick the box which says 'allow substitutions' when you order, as that way if it's not in stock, you'll just get your groceries, not a pricier bottle of prosecco."
Martin also shared some other quick deals to snap up this week, including a trick to get a Soap & Glory - perfect as a Christmas gift - at a discount.
He said: "From Fri 8 Dec, if you go online to Boots or visit one of its stores, you can get a Soap & Glory 'Spa of Wonder' body care set for £30 until 11.59pm on Thursday 14 Dec.
"This gift set, which includes body butter, face wash and mascara, is normally £60, but if the products were bought individually they would cost £78."
Martin Lewis, money saving expert, also revealed a British Gas secret tariff
Martin also told viewers about an amazing and little known way to save big on their British Gas bills.
He said: "British Gas have today launched their cheapest dual fuel tariff.
"Someone on typical usage would spend £1100 a year, whereas with this one it is £995 a year.
"However you can't get directly from British Gas, as it is only available on a comparison site."

Penguin Life, an imprint of Penguin Random House UK, and SANE, the mental health charity, are delighted to announce a partnership to celebrate the publication of The Little Book of Lykke by Danish author Meik Wiking.
SANE is a leading UK mental health charity set up in 1986 to improve the quality of life for anyone affected by mental illness. It aims are to raise awareness and combat stigma about mental illness, to educate and to campaign to improve mental health services. Penguin Life publishes books to help you be the best you can be, with authors including Ruby Wax, Julia Samuel and Haemin Sunim.
"We have been using income as a proxy for happiness, well-being or quality of life and using GDP per capita to measure our progress as nations. One of the reasons for this is that income – national or personal – is objective. However, happiness is not. Happiness is subjective." Meik Wiking
In 2011 the United Nations passed a resolution inviting member countries to measure the happiness of their people and to use this to help guide their public policies. Following this, the first World Happiness Report was published on 1st April 2012, with Denmark and other Scandinavian countries topping the list. Following this result, Meik Wiking founded the Happiness Research Institute, a think tank based in Copenhagen, after noticing the increasing global attention being paid to happiness.
In the UK, at any one time, around one in six people are affected by a mental health condition. Worldwide, depression is now the leading cause of ill-health and disability, according to the World Health Organization.
In 2016, Meik's first book The Little Book of Hygge took the UK by storm by introducing Brits to the Danish art of living well. But for Meik, hygge is just the tip of the iceberg of his knowledge of global happiness. After publishing The Little Book of Hygge he realised that the Danes can learn more about happiness from the world. And so he has written his second book The Little Book of Lykke to enable him to share the wealth of happiness advice he has gathered from happiness leaders internationally in the hope that we can all become happier. It is due to published on Thursday, 7th September.
The connection between the message of the book and the mission of SANE is clear, and by partnering there is an aim to bring happiness to the lives of more people in the UK who need it.
Marjorie Wallace, founder and chief executive of SANE, says: "Happiness can be elusive even for people who are mentally healthy. Many people, such as those with depression or anxiety who are struggling through darker times, may feel they want to give up the fight. That is why this charming and thought-provoking book could lighten, guide and inspire so many. We are delighted to be partnering with Penguin Life on such a transformative project."
Meik Wiking, author and CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, says: "We all know somebody who is dealing with mental illness, whether we are aware of it or not. The time for combating stigma around mental illness is long overdue. In many ways, the UK is leading the efforts in breaking down the taboos and the stigma - but there is still a long way to go. That is why I am so pleased to be joining forces with SANE, to raise our voices."
Julia Murday, senior campaigns manager for Penguin Life, says: "I'm delighted to be partnering with SANE for the publication of The Little Book of Lykke. Meik's journey to understand the world's happiest people allows us to see the good that does exist in this world – bringing this into light so that, together, we can help it spread. A life-affirming read, I hope this book may inspire and enlighten those who are dealing with difficulties in their life, and make them more hopeful for the future."

Ketama, the cradle of the best hash in the world
Ketama, the cradle of the best hash in the world
Cannabis came to Spain, according to historians of the subject, with the invasion of the Muslims. Since then its consumption and laws in this matter have changed and today, the debate is guaranteed due to ideas that the new parties, as Ciudadanos and Podemos have put on the table.
It may seem curious that something is consumed from both centuries, remains today a taboo subject or banned in many countries, Spain is one of those places that indeed consumed and talk about marijuana, but not so as openly as a product is consumed it deserves.
And it agrees or not in use, the fact is that is a reality and, although the information and training about the head and moderate consumption of this product is essential, it is equally true that the laws should adapt to a reality that demands it, not only for its own consumption but also for therapeutic use, especially when there are numerous studies conducted throughout the world on the benefits of it in this field, especially for discuss issues related to cancer or eating disorders.
So, today we talk about the history of cannabis in our country, existing legislation and the debate that has put on the table the new parties that advocate legalization or normalization of self and moderate consumption of marijuana, of course always with its limits and ensuring the health of citizens, especially the young.
Although there is little information about so 'prohibited' that remains openly discuss marijuana or hashish in our country, if it is aware of evidence that the consumption of it came to Spain with the invasion of Muslims to the Peninsula. Closer to our time, historians explain that issue and Moorish troops of dictator Francisco Franco consumed these substances back in the 40s and in the 60s Madrid, known writings, musicians and show business people, also enjoyed its virtues.
Of course, not to mention the age of 80, with the Movida Madrileña or from the 90s, with the boom in foreign tourism to our country. A tourism consumption and demand for which is usually never miss.
And yet, what we are missing in Spain laws in line with this reality, the consumption of such substance for personal use, whether for therapeutic purposes or for simple enjoyment.
One of the particularities of our country is that, in terms of marijuana, each of the autonomous regions can legislate at will the sanctions or permits the use of the same. However, there does exist a general regulation that says if you can grow marijuana for personal use, but never for profit. That is, the consumption of it, is not prohibited, but yes its sale. And yet, what we do that is allowed is selling marijuana seeds and, as mentioned, the cultivation of it for consumption. All this, as long as it is done in private, although it is normal to see people smoking marijuana on the street.
In the case of therapeutic use for marijuana, this could only be consumed by hospital prescription. In this regard, it is noteworthy that more and more research related to marijuana that take place in our country, just as a growing number of clubs that are created cannabis is higher.
Fortunately for all those who use marijuana, new parties are emerging as Podemos and Cuidadanos which have put on the table the legalization of marijuana, but not in any way, because what they propose is that it is controlled. We will see what happens from here on in this regard.

Copper pipes play the key role in the supply of water, both hot and cold, and as a refrigerant line in the HVAC systems. Sweating copper pipe is joining two plumbing joints using a filer metal, either the same as that of the pipe or some other, which has a lower melting point. This forms a permanent connection.
How to solder pipe:
It is a simple process that could be done at home. The complexity level for soldering a copper pipe is simple. To obtain a perfect solder, selection and usage of the materials used are important.
Torch– Flames and their force determines the perfection of soldering a copper pipe. The flame shapes are different, for instance take the cone shaped flame, it concentrates on one particular spot whereas the rose bud shaped flame will wrap the pipe and will even out the temperature. Self-lighting/Auto start torches are safer and easier to use. Normal torches would require lighting and relighting often involving extra worry about burning down yourself or the place.
Cleaning brush– A clean pipe will have a neat finishing. Make sure you clean the ends of the pipe with any abrasive material. This is to make the soldering strong.
Flux– Before soldering apply the flux on the ends of the pipes. Flux helps in even spreading of the solder into the joints.
How to solder properly:
- Assemble all the pipes and copper fittings to be joined. Meddling with pipes after lighting a torch is dangerous and would result in unclean soldering.
- Flux the joints evenly. Right amount of flux would do the job itself.
- Light the torch and heat the plumbing joints evenly.
- Soldering Copper: Place the solder 90 degrees to the plumbing joint and rotate the joint slightly to let the solder spread. With the right amount of flux and heat the solder will flow and fill the gaps.
Things to be careful about: How to sweat copper pipe
Heat level: Over heat would burn the ends and leave a black burnt mark on the pipes. Under heating would not let the solder flow evenly rather making them get logged evenly.
Application of flux: Spread it with smooth motion. Do not dab.
Torch level: Make sure the flames are about 1-2 inches. This is easier to hold at a position to apply proper heat.
Move to next joint: As soon as you finish one joint move along to the next joint. The heat from previous would help in making the work easier if the joint is a subsequent one. This is how to solder pipe.
Touch: Touch the flame to the copper pipe every second to get a better flow.

Automotive Blog – Suzuki Vitara 1.6 GLX 4×4 AT Test Sr Review
We are with Suzuki Vitara. This car has been one of the most hotly anticipated and wanted one for a long while. I know this because you keep inquiring Why dont you test Vitara in your comments. Today is the day; Vitara is standing next to me.
Lets cut the story short and start analyzing. Come on. We start as usual from the design but before that I have to give you some details about its dimensions. As you know, this car previously was put on the market as Grand Vitara and was a compact SUV.
But in this new generation its length has been deceased as well as its length and its height lowered and therefore falls into small crossover class now. In other words, when all models have a tendency to growth, the Vitara on the contrary has tended to diminution and is now in the small crossover class. The new Vitara has more angular design than the Grand Vitara it replaced. In here there is a grill by big brand logo and with chromium details.
The headlamps are very chick but if you ask me what makes a great display are the LED daylight lamps along with this bumper. When you look at the mid section of the bumper this piece is detail to emphasize Vitaras crossover identity. The same manifest itself at the side with pieces on the fenders. You may remember this piece from the Grand Vitara anyway.
The same design language was also employed in the Grand Vitara but in here it does not amount to any thing and looks cheap but adds movement to the side view. There is a curl starting from the center of the door and raising towards the rear. The Vitara has a plain angular design from the sides. You can now buy the Vitara bicolor.
As far as I know, after you choose the body color, you have a possibility to prefer black or white roof. Come lets look at the rear of the car. This place also has angular form. If you ask my opinion, I like the general design of Vitara, but my dislike is to the rear because due to this wide windows the taillights are placed low and this does not appeal to me but you cannot argue about tastes.
I like the car overall but the rear is not very striking. What do you think about the design of the Vitara? I will be glad if you answer by clicking here. The reason I dont like the rear may be that the spare tire we are accustomed to be not offered anymore. Today many manufacturers are abandoning the spare tire that was used like this but when Suzuki or Vitara is mentioned, I visualize that late design.
When I look at this car I can say that this place is a bit bare. Anyway, that is my opinion, but you can leave yours under the video. Please dont hesitate. Lets look what kind of loading area is behind the boot.
This place offers 375 liters loading capacity. It does not look bad. There are places for your small items on the sides behind the wheels but more importantly this place is two parts namely, you can put small articles below and big loads to the top easily. Further more you have means to incline the rear seats in ratio of forty thirty and increase the capacity of the boot.
I have mentioned that the dimensions of Vitara has been decreased but I have to tell you that, yes this car is in the small class, small crossover class but the knee room here is much better than many of its rivals. Unfortunately, it does not display the same generosity in the headroom. That is to say, even though the roof is lowered due to the sunroof, as you can see my head is almost at the border and I am 1.78 Cm tall. I think the headroom is insufficient but the speciousness is better than many of its rivals.
For the third passenger in the middle, it is not bad; I can fit my feet here. There is a small transmission hump but you can put your feet on top of it. But as always the reference will be for the side seats. Now I am getting to the front seat but before driving I will give you some details about the comfort specialty of the front seats.
Come on. The first thing that grabs your attention as you enter Vitara as it did mine when I took the car for a test is the gigantic multimedia screen. It is really huge because I have tested Jeep Renegade recently and it had a screen as big as a mobile phone, this hand span length and ten plus inches size really deserves praise. I thought it was a screen added afterwards when I first enter the car.
In other words, I thought if you are giving this car for testing why put a posting screen but when enquired I learned this is what is offered in Vitara. Very different, it is an Android base system works very well. You can connect to the navigation from here, which also works very well. Of course, the quality of the map can be debated but ultimately it offers you a navigation system.
Radio, phone connection with Bluetooth, reaching to music system and even features to play video is offered but most impressive is that this Android base system can open a web page. As you can see I have open the Carviser page in the Youtube for you and watching the Seat Leon test. You dont have to watch it from here, if you have not watched the face lifted Leon test yet, you can do so by clicking here. The system works very well and really deserves praise.
I dont know how much this will cost if you buy it from outside but there are lots of applications here and if I am not mistaken you can personalize it to your needs. I liked it very much and naturally it enriches and beautifies the interior but we have to talk about truths about the quality of the materials. Shiny as well as very hard plastic materials have been used almost at the entire cockpit. Normally, in many cars, relatively soft plastics are used on the top but here hard plastic is everywhere you touch.
This indicates that the cockpit is not high quality but I can say that if you ignore this than the interior of the Vitara is very specious and comfortable. The displays in our front are legible. The trip computer in the middle is quite good. The steering wheel fits to the hand very well.
Gearbox, and the small item cubicles and some such details will be dealt with on the road, I think it is time to hit the road. Come on. Before starting the drive of the Vitara, I will ask you something. Are you following the social media accounts of the Carviser? For example the Instagram? Facebook? If you are not, please click the links in the instruction parts in the video and start following.
Forget about my evading before, the Vitara is very generous about small items cubicles. Here in front of the gear lever there is an area for your wallet and mobile. There are two cup-holders behind the gear lever and a small place behind it but what is missing is armrest. When you want to rest while driving you cannot put your arm.
Also since there is no place with a lid you can put things only into the glove compartment if you do not want to leave around. Ultimately, even though the quality of materials is low in the interior of Vitara, I think it satisfies the expectations to the full extent and it is very good and comfortable. But I have one critic and that is this extra stitching in the joint of the seat and it bothers my back a bit. I dont know, it may be relevant with my height, may be shorter or taller people do not get bothered but I clearly got bothered.
Let us consider the engine and the driving features of Vitara. It is sold with only 1.6 Liters petrol engine in our country. It is reported that 1.4 Liters turbo charge engine will come. But it did not come yet when I was testing this car.
But it may have arrived while you are watching this video. Therefore you can enter the Suzuki web site by clicking to the link under the videos instruction part and reach the information about the new engine if it was added to the series. In this car that I am driving 1.6 Liters naturally aspirated petrol engine, which develops 120 HP and 156 Nm of torque, is functioning and sold with only 6-speed automatic gearbox with torque converter. You are able to purchase the Vitara either as front drive or as 4-wheel drive.
This car I am driving has a 4-wheel drive system. We cannot say that the engine is very lively because it does not have the torque value we are accustomed from the turbo charge engines. It exhibits full-fledge naturally aspirated engine characteristic, in other words, the engine becomes powerful at high rpm and its traction increases. If you like naturally aspirated engines, I can say that this engine will answer your expectations in that way.
The engine works very harmoniously with the gearbox. For example, I am moving at 70 km/h at the moment and the engine is cruising at around 1500 rpm namely, as it sticks around at low levels, you are able to advance uneventfully. But you dont have much power under your foot; in other words, when I press the throttle it increased to 2500 rpm. It has reasonable traction.
But if you down-shift couple of gears and accelerate then as I have mentioned earlier, the engine rpm increases and sound of the naturally aspirated engine sounds pleasing to the ears. At the moment we are at 5500 rpm. I shifted to fourth gear. It accelerates quite well and I reached to 150 km/h.
In spite of the fact that I have said the engine is not very lively and very responsive it satisfies your expectations quite good. I have said that Vitara is 4-wheel drive but in normal conditions it advances as front wheel drive but if the front wheels skids or if the car lose power and then certain part of the power is transferred to the rear axle and the car moves as 4-wheel drive. You can if you wish, command the drive systems from the control element behind the gear lever. That is to say, when you turn it to right you select the Sport mode and to the left the Snow or Mud mode.
When you select the Snow or Mud mode and press the Lock button next to them, you lock the differential and the car advance as 4-wheel drive. During my test I have driven the Vitara mostly on asphalt surfaces but because of curiosity I have also tried the Vitara a bit on off-road conditions. Besides, Suzuki as one of the specialist brand at 4-wheel drive has produced quite good results in the Vitara. I can say that maybe not at very tough conditions but it is very capable off-road car.
Further more, incline assist system is also offered in the Vitara. Very important safety equipment is offered in the new Vitara. One of them is the radar break system. If you approach the car in front too fast system warns you vocally and visually and if you still do not break then it breaks and tries to save you from a possible accident.
If your speed is too great then naturally the accident may be inescapable but it still, decreasing your speed will lower your inflicting damages to the minimum. Look, I am approaching at the moment faster than necessary and as you can see with the alarm sound red light has come on the screen to warn me to break. In my opinion, the system works quite well. Another safety equipment is the adaptive cruise control that we know and use in many models anyway but, as this is a small crossover, in other words a crossover in the B segment, to offer this system and in a very reasonable price range, deserves praise.
The system works like this, you turn on the cruise control on the steering wheel as usual and adjust the car to the speed you want. In here you have three different level of adjustment of the distance to the car in your front. After arranging your speed you are able to fallow the car in front very easily. If the car in front slows down or breaks, you do the same.
But if you want to overtake it, look even though my foot is not on the throttle, I signal to the left side and the car accelerates by itself and I am overtaking the car in front. I guess there is a question you would like to ask about this system, therefore I shall answer it before tiring you. This system does not stop and start the car namely if you are under 40 km/h speed, the system gives a warning sound as ping and disengages. When you get over speeds 40-50 km/h you engage the system and it continues to work successfully as before.
Let us consider the suspensions. They are a bit firm especially on rough asphalt surfaces as now; you feel the impacts from the road. When you drive over keystones in the city, you here rattle at the rear of the car. In other words, I frankly cannot say that the suspensions are comfortable but on highway drives you dont feel any bother and it gives confidence at high speeds.
The steering responses are not bad at all. It answers your wishes timely. Insulation is definitely not one of the subjects that Vitara is strong at because if you are on rough asphalt as now, even at low speeds you hear the road and tire noises in the interior. Apart from that, when you want to accelerate and reach high rpm, the engine noise can really be heard.
If there is anybody who had a test drive or purchased this car, I am curious about your opinion concerning the suspensions and insulation. I will be very happy if you leave your opinions as comment under the video. Finally let us consider the fuel consumption of Vitara. I have been driving this car for five days and have covered 175 km.
At the moment, the trip computer indicates to me 7.5 Liters fuel consumption averages. This value is in my opinion very good as we should not forget that the Vitara is a crossover with automatic gearbox and 4-wheel drive system. The reason for this value is largely due to Viatras light body weight. If I am not mistaken, the weight of this car is about 1185 kilos and quite low compared to its rivals.
Even though the turbo charge engines have better performance they have a potential to spend more fuel but this engine as it is a classic natural aspirated engine it has better frugal potential. Suzuki Vitara has it's pros and cons but if you ask me it has more advantages than disadvantages. Especially the fact that it can offer so many features in the 79.000 To 99.000 TL price range, reveals that the Vitara is clearly a very good choice to evaluate. See you..

Executive Director Kirkland Invited by Publication Education Drive to Post Opinion Page on Implications of De Vos Confirmation
Mny progressive educators are furious about the confirmation of Betsy DeVos as U.S. Secretary of Education. As many have pointed out throughout the course of her confirmation hearings, Ms. DeVos enters the U.S. Department of Education with less experience in public education than almost any other Secretary of Education to date. Not only has she not attended, worked in, or sent her own children to public schools, DeVos seems unaware of major federal education policies such as the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA), which signals writ large her indifference to issues of equity in education.

Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of a metal through hammering, pressing, or rolling. These compressive forces are delivered with a hammer or die. Forging is often categorized according to the temperature at which it is performed—cold, warm, or hot forging.
A wide range of metals can be forged. Typical metals used in forging include carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel. Very soft metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper can also be forged.
The forging process can produce parts with superb mechanical properties with minimum waste. The basic concept is that the original metal is plastically deformed to the desired geometric shape—giving it higher fatigue resistance and strength. The process is economically sound with the ability to mass produce parts, and achieve specific mechanical properties in the finished product.
Forging has been practiced by smiths since the Industrial Revolution. Traditional products include kitchenware, hardware, hand tools, and edged weapons. Since then, forging has evolved along with advances in equipment, robotics, electronic controls, and automation. Forging is now a worldwide industry with modern forging facilities producing high-quality metal parts in a vast array of sizes, shapes, materials, and finishes.
There are several forging methods with different capabilities and benefits. The more commonly used forging methods include the drop forging methods, as well as roll forging.
Drop forging derives its name from the process of dropping a hammer onto the metal to mold it into the shape of the die. The die refers to the surfaces that come into contact with the metal. There are two types of drop forging—open-die and closed-die forging. Dies are typically flat in shape with some having distinctively shaped surfaces for specialized operations.
Open-die forging is also known as smith forging. A hammer strikes and deforms a metal on a stationary anvil. In this type of forging, the metal is never completely confined in the dies—allowing it to flow except for the areas where it is in contact with the dies. It is the operator's responsibility to orient and position the metal to achieve the desired final shape. Flat dies are used, with some having specially shaped surfaces for specialized operations. Open-die forging is suitable for simple and large parts, as well as customized metal components.
Advantages of open-die forging:
See how closed-die forging works in this video as near net shapes are produced with minimal finishing.
Closed-die forging is also known as impression-die forging. The metal is placed in a die and attached to an anvil. The hammer is dropped onto the metal, causing it to flow and fill the die cavities. The hammer is timed to come into contact with the metal in quick succession on a scale of milliseconds. Excess metal is pushed out from the die cavities, resulting in flash. The flash cools faster than the rest of the material, making it stronger than the metal in the die. After forging, the flash is removed.
In order for the metal to reach the final stage, it is moved through a series of cavities in a die:
The first impression used to mold the metal into a rough shape.
The metal is worked into a shape that more closely resembles the final product. The metal is shaped with generous bends and fillets.
Final stage of finishing and detailing the metal into the desired shape.
Advantages of closed-die forging:
Roll forging consists of two cylindrical or semi-cylindrical horizontal rolls that deform a round or flat bar stock. This works to reduce its thickness and increase its length. This heated bar is inserted and passed between the two rolls—each containing one or more shaped grooves—and is progressively shaped as it is rolled through the machine. This process continues until the desired shape and size is achieved.
Advantages of automatic roll forging:
Press forging uses a slow, continuous pressure or force, instead of the impact used in drop-hammer forging. The slower ram travel means that the deformation reaches deeper, so that the entire volume of the metal is uniformly affected. Contrastingly, in drop-hammer forging, the deformation is often only at the surface level while the metal's interior stays somewhat undeformed. By controlling the compression rate in press forging, the internal strain can also be controlled.
Advantages of press forging:
Upset forging is a manufacturing process that increases the diameter of the metal by compressing its length. Crank presses, a special high-speed machine, are used in upset forging processes. Crank presses are typically set on a horizontal plane to improve efficiency and the quick exchange of metal from one station to the next. Vertical crank presses or a hydraulic press are also options.
Advantages of upset forging:
In automatic hot forging, mill-length steel bars are inserted into one end of the forging machine at room temperature, and hot forged products emerge from the other end. The bar is heated with high-power induction coils to a temperature ranging from 2190–2370°F in under 60 seconds. The bar is descaled with rollers and shared into blanks. At this point, the metal is transferred through several forming stages that can be coupled with high-speed cold-forming operations. Typically, the cold-forming operation is left for the finishing stage. By doing so, the benefits of cold-working can be reaped while also maintaining the high speed of automatic hot forging.
Advantages of automatic hot forging:
Precision forging requires little to no final machining. It is a forging method developed to minimize the cost and waste associated to post-forging operations. Cost savings are achieved from the reduction of material and energy, as well as the reduction of machining.
Isothermal forging is a forging process where the metal and die are heated to the same temperature. Adiabatic heating is used—there is no net transfer of mass or thermal exchange between the system and the external environment. The changes are all due to internal changes resulting in highly controlled strain rates. Due to the lower heat loss, smaller machines may be used for this forging process.

NextGen Hadoop, beyond MapReduce
Hadoop has run into architectural limitations and the community has started working on the Next Generation Hadoop [NGN Hadoop]. NGN Hadoop has some new management features of which multi-tenant application management is the major one. However the key change is that MapReduce no longer is entangled inside the rest of Hadoop. This will allow Hadoop to be used for MPI, Machine Learning, Master-Worker, Iterative Processing, Graph Processing, etc. New tools to better manage Hadoop are also being incubated, e.g. Ambari and HCatalog.
Why is this important for telecom?
Having one platform that allows massive data storage, peta-byte data analytics, complex parallel computations, large-scale machine learning, big data map reduce processing, etc. all in one multi-tenant set-up means that telecom operators could see massive reductions in their architecture costs together with faster go-to-market, better data intelligence, etc.
Telecom applications, that are redesigned around this new paradigm, can all use one shared back-office architecture. Having data centralized into one large Hadoop cluster instead of tens or hundreds of application-specific databases, will enable unseen data analytics possibilities and bring much-needed efficiencies.
Is this shared-architecture paradigm new? Not at all. Google has been using it since 2004 at least when they published Map Reduce and BigTable.
What is needed is that several large operators define this approach as their standard architecture hence telecom solution providers will start incorporating it into their solutions. Commercial support can be easily acquired from companies like Hortonworks, Cloudera, etc.
Having one shared data architecture and multi-tenant application virtualization in the form of a Telco PaaS would allow third-parties to launch new services quickly and cheaply, think days in stead of years…

text: I haven't had much change of opinion on this market in the past few days. This rally has had much momentum behind it. This so far seems normal during a major bear market. Volume on most indexes has greater on the down impulses, and has lessened somewhat on the current retracement move. Trends still remain down. The odds of a "V" shaped bottom actually being the final bottom don't seem that great. There should at least be a retest, maybe not a new low, but some sort of test of the previous low to see if selling dries up and buying should come in, or if renewed selling comes into the market. Without a test there is little to go on regarding potential change of direction. But anything can happen. If this market continues up without that test, then one will have to adapt to whatever the market want to do. But it would be an unusual move. I don't plan to chase this. If an uptrend begins, there will be plenty of pullbacks within that uptrend. Until then I plan to sell the pullbacks up into the downtrend moving averages, as soon as momentum rolls over. So far many of the indexes are up into, or over, their moving average. Momentum is very overbought, but in most cases is still pointing upward. Momentum can stay very overbought for a very long time in these counter-trend moves.

Matlock Town would no doubt have liked to be going into this weekend's mouth watering FA Trophy tie at neighbouring Mansfield with their recent unbeaten run still intact.
But a strong and powerful Hednesford Town side deservedly beat them 3-2 at the Reynolds Stadium to halt the Gladiators winning run in the league at the fifth match. Taking their recent FA Trophy successes against Leek Town and Stalybridge Celtic into account, Matlock took on the Pitmen unbeaten in seven outings.
Manager Mark Atkins acknowledged the quality in the visitors' side and saw a silver lining in the defeat.
"At least it's brought us down to earth a bit ahead of Saturday" he explained. "It's made us realise where we are in the league and as a football club."
Certainly Hednesford, with an embarrassment of riches,especially in the striking department where they could afford to leave Barbadian international Neil Harvey and former Nantwich prolific scorer Michael Lennon on the bench, looked a class act in the first half and Matlock were pleased to be only two goals behind at the half way mark. The visitors were bright, energetic and had strength in all areas, forcing Matlock into mistakes with the Blues unable to find any rhythm in their passing.
"There were too many errors defensively" Atkins conceded. "That was frustrating as we were excellent in defence against Ilkeston last Saturday. Our two central defenders were magnificent against a powerful lad like Gary Ricketts and Ilkeston barely created a decent chance. But that wasn't the case on Tuesday as our mistakes led to all three goals although all three were great finishes. We gave away too many free kicks for my liking against a very good side who deserve to be where they are, challenging at the top end of the league. It'll take a very good side to pip them."
Matlock rallied well in the second half although the result was rarely in doubt. Massiah McDonald halved the deficit on 54 minutes but another poor goal from the Matlock viewpoint saw them two goals adrift again within four minutes. Joe Leesley's 90th minute strike came too late and was just a consolation effort.
"Hednesford have good quality, know what they are doing and are strong so our second half performance wasn't too bad" Atkins continued.
That defeat came after Matlock were good value for their 2-0 derby win at Ilkeston with James Ashmore and McDonald finding the net in the opening fifteen minutes of the second half.
"Once we'd gone in front I don't think we were in any trouble. We said at half time we needed to be sharper and crisper with our passes and we scored two good goals and took control in what was an important game for both clubs."
So now Matlock's biggest cup game in years is upon them and as was the case on 15 December 1976 when the Gladiators went to Field Mill in the 2nd Round of the FA Cup and astonishingly won 5-2, they are firm underdogs. Then Matlock led the Northern Premier League and the Stags went on to lift the old 3rd Division title. Now Mansfield are in the Blue Square Conference Premier.
Mansfield warmed up for the derby with a 2-2 home draw against Luton Town on Sunday before winning 3-0 at Macclesfield Town on Tuesday to leave them in seventh place, four points off a play off place. Atkins watched the game with the Hatters and saw enough to realise that his side face a tough ask if they are to extend their run in the competition.
"They've got a lot of quality and are physical so we need to stand up against them and be counted. We'll certainly need to pass the ball a lot better than we did against Hednesford. But we'll go there and give it all we've got, it's nice for the lads to play against a good side on a good ground. I hope we take a lot of fans and they get behind us so we can make it an unforgettable day for the football club."
Transport departs the Reynolds Stadium at 1.30 pm and bookings can be made by ringing Tom Wright on 07850 065968.
Matlock will be without the suspended Martin Foster as the experienced midfielder has picked up five bookings. Glyn Cotton could be handed a recall in his place. Defender Oscar Radford and new signing, striker Anthony Griffiths-Junior are both cup tied.
Griffiths-Junior joined Matlock last Friday from Buxton after impressing Atkins playing first for Hucknall Town and then earlier this season for Eastwood Town against his side. Full back Phil Roe may need a fitness check on Saturday after coming off with a dead leg in midweek.

If you're looking to get fit (we all are), and you want a relatively easy dietary principle to follow that will increase your gains significantly, science has a suggestion for you. A new study, the results of which were published in the journals Nutrients and Growth Hormone and IGF-1 Research, suggests that periodically consuming moderate quantities of protein throughout the day leads to better fitness and health.
The study was conducted by Skidmore College. Paul Arciero, the lead researcher, says that eating protein throughout the day at regular intervals, also referred to as "protein-pacing," when combined with a diverse exercise regimen that includes resistance, interval sprinting, stretching and endurance exercises, produces phenomenal results.
Individuals who followed the above described routine for twelve weeks showed increased markers of physical fitness, a decrease in total body fat, an increase in lean body mass and greatly improved cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Arciero is so confident in the beneficial effects of the program that he gave it an acronym for easy remembering – PRISE:
"Whether your goal is to improve fitness or heart health, the quality of your diet and a multi-dimensional exercise training regimen (PRISE) can make all the difference," says Arciero. "It's not about simply eating less calories and doing more exercise. It's about eating the right foods at the right time and incorporating a combination of exercises that most effectively promotes health and fitness."
The study followed thirty women and twenty men, aged thirty to sixty-five, who were qualified to be described as "physically fit." When they began the study, they self-reported as exercising at least four days a week for forty-five minutes a session, with a mix of both resistance and aerobic training. They all had been engaged in these habits for at least three consecutive preceding years. Their average combined body mass index was 25 and their average body fat was 26%.
The subjects were split into two groups. Both groups ate the same number of calories and did the same exact exercise routine. Their diets, however, varied. One group ate the recommended amount of protein, and fitness nutrition products, while the second group ate increased protein and supplements that were high in antioxidants.
Both groups improved across the board. But the protein-paced group demonstrated better results, including upper body strength, muscular power and endurance, core strength and improved blood vessel health in the female subjects. The men showed superior upper and lower body strength and power, better aerobic performance and improved lower back flexibility.
The results corroborate three previous studies conducted by Arciero and his colleagues, which all suggest that the PRISE methodology improves fitness.

"May Day! May Day! Help Me! Help Me!
My pilot had a heart attack and is dead and I don't know how to fly.
Help Me! Please Help Me!"
She hears a voice over the radio saying:
"This is Air Traffic Control and I have you loud and clear. I will talk you through this and get you back on the ground. I've had a lot of experience with this kind of problem. Now, just take a deep breath. Everything will be fine! Now give me your height and position!"
She says, "I'm 5'4 and I'm in the front seat."
"O.K." says the voice in the radio, "Repeat after me: Our father who art in heaven…"

Feb 15, 2017 Adrian Jessie Used Car Comments Off on The benefits of Investing in a Used Vehicle
The declining world economy has forced nearly every single employees country to reduce lower their budget and spend less. These now look for such investments that will save them maximum cash therefore the savings might be invested into another requirement. However, there are many needs which may be put on hold for some time along with a couple of needs that can not be avoided.

It could be a situation of purchasing a totally new vehicle, your buyer will probably be bounded with limited options and less facilities designed for him. These limitations might be overcome once the choice is for just about any second hands vehicle. While investing in a second hands vehicle, you will find a many collections of automobiles at cheaper rates. A couple of from the benefits and techniques for getting a second hand vehicle receive below:
1.While prone to purchase second hand vehicle, it's good to think about someone together with you which has proper knowledge of methods to check out vehicle and who is able to check all the flaws and issues inside the vehicle.
2.Taking your best vehicle give it a try is the simplest way to see if the automobile has the capacity to endure your expectations or else.
3.When you purchase another hands vehicle, there's also from it additional accessories which are more costly if installed individually.
4.The dealers that offer the second hands cars have formerly spent up an sufficient amount on any kind of repair and maintenance as needed. Therefore, you need not worry a little more about spending every other amount for the purpose.
5.Many individuals think that the cars which exist within the second hands market aren't who is fit, but you will probably find even some brand-new used cars for sale for purchase round the stands.
6.Apart from this, the insurance policy premium for used cars for sale for purchase may also be low as well as for individuals who've two cars insured beneath the same insurance carrier you may even avail more discount inside the premium rates.

I don't get it! I have complained about the media in this country for years along with many other conservatives and it seems the left continues to deny that the Old Media here in the USA is biased towards or in favor of Democrats. Let me give you a really good example of what I mean then I'll shut up.
Recently the Democrats have had a really good time with the media going full throttle to try and damage Tom Delay and his reputation. Fortunately Mr. Delay is a courageous man and has not backed down from these character assassins but the media and the Democrats in Washington did their best to try and make him resign. Turns out that many Democrats and Republicans in Washington were guilty of doing what Delay did and worse but the Old Media wanted no part of reporting it.
Hmmmm. Leftist Media Bias anyone, anyone????????
Anther huge story of late is David Rosen the man who managed Hillary Clinton's money in her Senate campaign is on trial for fundraising impropriety. Seems he mis-reported about $800,000.00 that was spent on a Gala Hollywood event thrown for Mrs. Clinton and in the ensuing investigation some tapes were made that have revealed even more seedy activity in that ordeal that may include prostitution. Yet the Old Media does not want to report on this story. When it does, it is not front page news but buried somewhere in the paper. I also heard that the Judge in this case made it plain to the jury that this in no way reflects on Mrs. Clinton. Double hmmmm.
Not only is this a fine example of Old Media bias it seems we have a little problem here with bias in the court room with a Clinton appointee. Now let me ask you an honest question. If this was a Republican, let's say Dick Cheney or Tom Delay would it be front page news??? How about the lead story every day for a week or two on ABC, NBC, CBS or Newsweek? Have you even heard anything about this trial in any of these venues????
I suppose I have made my point but hey, I'm just a right wing whacko!
Here is a link to a story about the Clinton/Rosen scandal from CNN. Take a look at the angle they use to report the story. It is amusing and points to my assertion.
Just for fun do a search on Tom Delay. Take a look at the news outlets that covered the Delay story and the words used in the approach to the story. Then do the same on the Clinton/Rosen story and compare the two. You will find that most all major Old Media outlets covered the Delay story. Wonder what you will find about the Clinton story?
Have a blessed day!
Write On!

Recent research, The Construction Media Index, provides valuable insight into the communication channels used by construction decision makers. As part of this Architects, Contractors, Housebuilders, Offsite Manufactures and Builders Merchants were asked about the events they attend. This guest blog, by Catherine Caplis of CIB, presents some of the findings and considers if event marketing is still of value to the construction marketer? Considering how to incorporate live events effectively it into your marketing mix.
Has the internet heralded the death knell for exhibitions?
Spurred by the digital revolution, we've seen a momentous rise in 'content' development that has impacted on every marketing channel. Technological advancements have made the creation, hosting and delivery of content more accessible. This, in turn, has also instilled a confidence and ambition in marketers to target their audience directly, rather than solely relying on an established infrastructure.
For exhibitions and conferences, it's possible to draw parallels with the media landscape. Traditionally, both have offered a set framework to house content, with an outlet delivering a defined audience and a company developing content to fit a mould.
The internet has broken that model; and with the most popular sources of product information and ideas being manufacturers' websites (88%) and online searches (75%) it's not hard to see why there may have been a time where many were concluding that the internet heralded the death knell for exhibitions. In addition, in the same way as self-publishing has opened up the media landscape, more companies are extending this approach into events – and curating their own.
Yet, exhibitions and conferences still have a place. Indeed 56% of respondents attended at least one event in the last 12 months. However, with 'learning about new products and services' and 'being updated on current thinking' almost on par when it came to reasons for attending, there has certainly been a shift as to the role these events have to play – with added value content now crucial to their success.
Events can be the platform for content generation
With information at the very tips of people's fingers one could depressingly conclude that there is now no reason to physically seek it out – but if you look towards studies on activities such as gaming, there is evidence that those absorbed in a virtual world are increasingly craving more face to face social interactions. This, backed by research showing that Millennials value 'experiences' above anything else, means the future looks positive, if organisers can get it right.
For the exhibitors and conference sponsors themselves, the event itself is no longer the end point. We've witnessed a huge shift away from 'statement' exhibition stands and instead a much more considered approach to achieving ROI longer term. An exhibition becomes a platform for content generation, with the aim of achieving reach far wider than the visitors to the show. Camera crews are becoming a common sight as exhibitors use the opportunity to capture speaker slots, product overviews, demos and vox pops that can be used for months to come.
In terms of conference sponsorship, few companies now see a value in pure brand awareness. Gone are the days where sponsors are happy to just see their logo on the event collateral. Now, sponsors want the scope to harvest the event content and use it within their own marketing.
There is still a desire for 'live' experiences
For exhibition and conference organisers, this hunger for new content of course poses a conundrum. On the one hand you have marketers who want to justify the investment by extending its reach beyond the event itself. Conversely, the organiser needs to keep its content 'behind closed doors' to encourage people to attend. However, with a definite trend for companies to organise their own events, achieving the right balance is something that organisers will have to master.
Whereas it might seem the digital revolution has resulted in us all being glued to our screens, there is undoubtedly still a desire for 'live' experiences – and this, coupled with an understanding of the value exhibitions and conferences can contribute to a wider content strategy, has the potential to deliver an exciting new era.

Publication Date: October 23, 2012
About the Author
Praise For The Arts of Contemplative Care: Pioneering Voices in Buddhist Chaplaincy and Pastoral Work…
"At a time when so many of us are facing the myriad challenges which come with caring for our elderly, sick and imprisoned kin, this wise, compassionate and practical guide comes along to aid us and to give us courage. This collection is a great contribution to all caregivers." Jan Willis, author of Dreaming Me: Black, Baptist and Buddhist: One Woman's Spiritual Journey
This inspiring collection marks the coming-of-age of Buddhist chaplaincy in the United States. The Arts of Contemplative Care will be the principal handbook for such ministries in the years to come." Christopher Queen, Harvard University, editor of Engaged Buddhism in the West
Historically, Buddhism takes root in new cultures when it begins to meet their deepest human needs in fresh and profoundly effective ways. This volume demonstrates how Buddhist chaplaincy and contemplative care now play a crucial role in the mutual transformation of Buddhism and the West, and how we can participate in the deep healing that they bring to those who suffer." John Makransky, Professor of Buddhism and Comparative Theology at Boston College, and author of Awakening Through Love
"This book is destined to become the core text of Buddhist Chaplaincy. A radical and wise offering to the world." Noah Levine, author of Dharma Punx
A valuable, honest and wise handbookand a beautiful sign of the blossoming of Dharma in the West." Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With Heart
A must-read for caregivers and others seeking to actualize genuine compassion beyond hope and feara treasure trove of practical wisdom." Fleet Maull, founder of the Prison Dharma Network, the National Prison Hospice Association, and the Center for Contemplative End of Life Care Programs at Naropa University
My heartfelt wish is that the chaplaincy movement represented in this volume will grow and reach people like us who are in need. Just as our hearts can open wide enough to hold all the suffering in the world, so too, may Buddhist chaplaincy blossom."Toni Bernhard, author of How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers

Where to play Pickleball
Pickleball is offered at multiple locations, both indoor and out, in the Denver Parks & Recreation district. Here is a list of Denver rec centers that offer pickleball play. Remember to check with each rec center as times/events/holidays can modify the schedule. Pickleball Calendar Fall 2018
We have a tool to help you find places/players in Denver. Join us on Teamup and you can schedule games at specific times and venues! Never have to worry about having enough players again! We encourage players to sign-up! This allows other players to know where and when the games are.
DIRECTIONS FOR TEAMUP: Don't mess with the left side since it toggles venues off and on for EVERYBODY. Just click on the date and venue (different colors), type in your name in the WHO box, and click save. If it asks you then, click the "single" event so you do not sign up for every week in perpetuity. If you are not the first one to sign up, it may not give you this choice, and it automatically assumes you are signing up for just that day.
The WHO box seems to have unlimited room, so you can add what time you will be there. Press SAVE.
That's it. It takes 90-seconds to sign up and makes it easier for groups to know where and when to play.

Warwick's first entry into the field of lightweight Bass Amps is the 1000W LWA1000. This convenient package of 2 input channels with full Eq section and compressor on each channel combined with a power amp stage that is designed using the latest advances in so called Class D technology gives you a chameleon that can be used in pretty much any situation. The configuring of the Amp to give 500W at 8 Ohms and 1000W at 4 Ohms makes it possible to have the power you need for the gig regardless of the size of the venue. The 2 inputs lets you have 2 Basses plugged in and ready to go with their own unique settings already dialed in.The Pre amp is based on Warwick signature Class A/Low Z circuitry made famous with the WA and BC series of amps. This technology makes sure you have the warm huge distortion free sound you desire without disturbing noise. The advancement in Power supply technology and error correction circuitry in the Class D power amp used in the LWA 1000 allows for tighter and stronger bass response than previously possible in this type of amps. Making it comparable in sound to much heavier Class A/B amps.

on a course in reverse – a storm coming
December 4, 2015 - theuniverse - Muli Muli
reverse mode on a parking lot in Quesnel B.C. . .
'on a course-in reverse' is a phrase painted on a wall in gingers living room in Toronto. I quote the phrase, because it inspired and encourages me in my work with a special method in the fields of photography called 'cross processing'. (to read the full description of the process, scroll down)
uphill: thunder strucking,
downhill: lightning firing,
through mighty tights,
right into concrete.
the pavement still glowing
from sunrays and countless feet,
a cool breeze,
announcing a storm,
coming in fast from east.
the smile on her face wouldn't fade,
the joy of hard days work
in her bones, still.
catch the light and fire,
a photo
and two,
to freeze the heat of a moment,
a time,
in time.
different people in film history 'invented' this technique of shooting, so to say, through switching around the 'correct' processes of developing a (colour) negative film / or (colour) positive film.
if you bring your rolls to a studio, the usual way of developing a negative film happens over the C41-process.
a positive (color slide, your parents used to cover their vacations and project it on the garage wall after) was/is developed with the E6-process.
what you do is shoot a roll of color slide film and tell your photo studio to develop it with the C41- instead of the E6-process.
the results can be – literally – wild! depending on the amount of light, the type of film, chemicals used to develop and some other factors you can not control (expired film), your shots vary in saturation, colors and graininess from red over green to blue (RGB).
in consequence, you often get unexpected results and (sometimes) not necessarily what you want.
that's how life should be, get off the course, dump the compass, go in reverse and see what happens.
it's not easy, but rewarding!

BRANTFORD, Ontario — Progressive Air Group has finalized its acquisition of Brant Aero.
Based at Brant Aero's current location at Brantford Airport (CYFD) in Ontario, Canada, the new company will continue to operate as Brant Aero. In addition, the company has established a new parts distribution center based at the facility. That group will operate as Progressive Air East.
"This is a very exciting opportunity. The acquisition allows us to bring together two outstanding companies, each with over 40 years of experience in the support and maintenance of private and business aircraft. The two companies are so closely aligned it was just a natural progression that Brant Aero should become part of the Progressive Air Group," said President Rob Wharf. "Bud and Pat Field have spent 43 years building an exceptionally strong technical team in a way that is the ideal complement to the priorities that the Progressive Air Group of Companies has established."
Todd Collins, CEO of the Progressive Air Group of Companies, noted that Bud and Pat Field would remain involved with Brant Aero going forward. In addition, Edie Craddock, a lifetime member of the American Bonanza Society and avid aviator, will remain a shareholder of Brant Aero.
"Between Bud, Pat and Edie we have over 100 years of experience and insight into aircraft ownership, operations, and maintenance," Collins said. "This is experience that has served Brant Aero well in the past and will be invaluable to assuring our success and growth in the future."

Although allergen injection immunotherapy (AII) has been around for nearly a century, many doctors are still not aware of the evidence for its efficacy. About 15 000 patients are treated by AII in Australia each year, with about 300 000 injections administered annually for a wide range of allergens. The 10 most commonly prescribed allergen vaccines in Australia are house dust mite; five-grass pollen mix; 12-grass pollen mix; cat; couch grass, ryegrass and plantain pollens; Alternaria mould; cockroach; and olive/privet pollen. Patients receive regular subcutaneous doses of the allergens to which they are allergic, often for 3–5 years.1 Does the treatment work, and, if so, is it cost-effective and is it safe?

I'm glad that taking a chance on this book paid off. It sounds a little depressing though.ReplyDelete
I have never heard of this book or the author, but it certainly sounds like a life-affirming story.ReplyDelete
I can see where his crusade to fix things for them would make it a more uplifting book to read. It sounds like it turned the tables, making it worthwhile. Hooray for Moonbloom, which is quite a name.ReplyDelete

Despite impressive performance at the beginning, Botswana has experienced declining beef export competitiveness since the mid 1970s, experts have observed. In a recent working paper titled Export Competitiveness of Botswanas Beef Industry published by
Publication Mmegi
25th September 2015
Press statement
Despite impressive performance at the beginning, Botswana has experienced declining beef export competitiveness since the mid 1970s, experts have observed. In a recent working paper titled 'Export Competitiveness of Botswana's Beef Industry' published by the Botswana Institute for Development Policy Analysis (BIDPA), the researchers stated that despite its deteriorating competitiveness, Botswana still outperformed most of the SADC countries.
The paper, authored by BIDPA researchers: Tebogo Seleka and Pinkie Kebakile, investigated Botswana's beef export competitiveness using indices of Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and data for the period 1961-2011. According to the study, Botswana exported about 20 percent of its beef in 1961 and reached a peak of 75 percent in 1975, and thereafter its ratios of net trade to domestic production (NP) got eroded until reaching 20 percent in 2011.
The study further says Botswana and Namibia are the most competitive SADC beef exporters, noting that Namibia's NP rose steadily from 1961, reaching a peak of 68 percent in 1998 and thereafter fell to reach 26 percent by 2011.
Zimbabwe's performance was impressive from 1961 to 1979 but sharply declined thereafter to very low levels, according to the report. South Africa, on the other hand, remained the least performer of the four countries throughout the review period.
It said Botswana's beef exports were the most competitive for the periods 1961-65 to 1981-85 and that it was then surpassed by Namibia and New Zealand for most of the remaining periods and Australia for some of the remaining periods.
In construction of export competitive indices, the researchers said the relative competitiveness of any particular country depends on factors internal and external to the country in question.
They further indicated that institutional environments in importing and exporting countries as well as domestically, also do affect the country's export competitiveness.
The researchers pointed out that the Botswana Meat Commission (BMC) has been the sole exporter of beef since its establishment in 1965 and that the Botswana beef has also been accorded preferential access into the EU market through various trade arrangements.
They indicated that before 1975, preferential access was made possible through the Commonwealth Preferential System, which allowed duty free access of the Botswana beef to the British market.
The researchers stated that although these arrangements have played critical roles in stimulating the development of a competitive beef industry in Botswana, through promoting export market access the same institutions are potential threats to beef export competitiveness in Botswana.
"First, the single export channel, through a state trading export monopoly, means that the collapse of the state trader may lead to an instant collapse of the beef industry in Botswana," read the research paper.
The researchers pointed out that the potential threat is not far-fetched in that the BMC has operated at idle capacity since the 1980s when its throughput began to steadily decline.
They added that such eminent threat is also reflected in the poor financial performance of the BMC, characterised by declining and negative profits.
They also believe that Botswana's competitiveness is enhanced by duty free/quota free access of its beef exports to the EU market, while the country's key competitors are subject to high import duties in the same market.
"Therefore, Botswana's beef exports are priced higher than world market prices because of trade restricting protectionist policies in the EU market," said that report.
According to the researchers, trade reforms in the EU that ease trade restrictions would lower beef prices in the EU market, further leading to preference erosion and reduced beef export competitiveness in Botswana.
Changes in standards in the EU market are also said to pose risks to Botswana's beef industry, particularly where compliance capacity is limited or compliance costs are prohibitive amongst communal farmers.
"For example, the requirement that cattle should have been kept in a single enclosed area for a given period before they are slaughtered for the EU market is not practical under communal arrangements and serves as a trade barrier," the report said.
Given that more than 80 percent of Botswana's cattle are in the communal production system, this requirement would therefore lead to reduced exports to the lucrative EU market, thereby impacting adversely on beef industry competitiveness, according to the report. [Mmegi Newspaper]

"Casual, Comfortable and Luxurious" has always been JOIE's approach to fashion — "one cannot exist without the other." I wholeheartedly agree. So, when this chic boutique opened its doors in downtown Pasadena earlier this year, I felt one step closer to obtaining my ideal wardrobe. Wallet, beware.
JOIE (pronounced juh-wa, a French noun meaning joy) began in 2001 and is currently owned by Creative Director Serge Azria. Since Azria acquired the company, JOIE has launched JOIE Shoes in 2007, Soft JOIE in 2010 (a line of luxuriously soft sweaters, dresses, and tees), and handbags in 2012. The company is expanding, and expanding quickly.
One thing I loved discovering was that JOIE finds inspiration from Southern California's casual yet sophisticated lifestyle. Which makes perfect sense why, along with opening boutiques in Newport Beach and Los Angeles, JOIE chose Pasadena to showcase its collection. One trip inside and you'll see just how perfectly the store reflects this inspiration.
It's like walking into a friend's beautifully decorated home. Excuse me–beautifully and expensively decorated home. It's light and airy. Chic yet casual. Serene, even. Softly lit cubbies house shoes and purses. Cozy nooks, outlined in ivory molding, display delicate and luxurious items. But while its beautiful interior draws you in, it's the collection that entices you to stay. Fabrics feel live-in-them soft. Colors resemble a watercolorist's palette. Items look impeccably made. And despite the prices (hundreds and up), I get the feeling any woman–from the most casual of dressers to the most sophisticated–could no doubt discover numerous favorite pieces here. Casual dressers will adore the comfortable drape of JOIE's items: blazers (like the Mehira B Blazer for $288) and sweaters (like the Tomiko Sweater for $198) are open and flowy. Silk tanks (like the Alicia Top for $128 and the Sevati Top for $248) are swingy with loose hems. For those with a dressier flare, pants (like the Sitara Pant for $178) are perfectly cropped and structured. And dresses are made with the finest of fabrics, like the Varine Dress ($778), made from soft suede, and the Rori Dress ($338), made from delicate lace.
Casual, comfortable, and luxurious indeed. JOIE, welcome to Pasadena.

Backflow is a cross between a casual-style action game and a multiplayer strategy game for mobile phones. In the game you take control of the waste disposal infrastructure for a city. It's your job to make sure each type of waste goes to the right place.
By flipping switches on pipe intersection points you direct the flow of waste to processing facilities at the bottom of the screen. Send recyclables to the right bins and they'll be converted into resources that you can use to upgrade your system, but put things in the wrong place and you'll increase the pollution in your city. Keep pollution low and your city will grow, but if it gets out of control your citizens will leave in droves! As your city grows in population, waste comes out faster and more frequently, and upgrades become more and more important. Trade resources with other players to make sure you can keep upgrading.
Try and build the biggest city you can without getting buried in the garbage!
