Ask Dominick "Dom" Sair, the former SUNY Cortland football standout, for the proudest moment of his life and he won't point to a four-touchdown game or an all-conference accolade.
On Monday, June 27, Sair, a 2011 graduate from Huntington, N.Y., saved an 11-year-old boy from drowning in a backyard pool by administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
He has received hundreds of text and Facebook messages from complete strangers in the weeks since an afternoon barbecue at his family's home turned into a rescue that landed Sair, Cortland's starting running back for the 2009 season, on all of the local news programs.
A group of eight youngsters that included Sair's younger cousin, his stepbrother and their friends planned to escape the Long Island heat with an afternoon swim. Before the group jumped in the water, Sair asked if each person could swim. They all answered yes.
"My cousin saw (the 11-year-old friend) going up and down and it seemed like he could swim," Sair said. "But then about 20 seconds after, my stepbrother screams: Get him! Get him! He's drowning!"
Sair and his father, Patrick, were loading soda cans into a cooler when they heard the shouts. Sair's 16-year-old cousin, Jalen, spotted the boy at the bottom of the pool and instantly went down to pull him up. But the 11-year-old was heavier than expected. As his rescuer struggled to get the boy out of the in-ground pool, the boy's head fell back and struck the top step of the pool ladder, according to Sair.
"He was unconscious from ingesting too much water but then he was also mildly concussed from hitting his head," Sair said.
The same instincts that proved vital to Sair's successful football career at SUNY Cortland took over and he began administering the CPR he learned in high school. His father blew air into the boy's lungs while Sair delivered chest compressions. By the time paramedics arrived, the boy's pulse had returned but he remained unresponsive.
"His eyes were open but he looked like he was gone," Sair said.
Eventually, the boy gave a thumbs-up to paramedics. Within an hour after the boy was taken away by ambulance, Sair received word that he would recover.
"I've never been in a situation where literally there's a chance of someone dying and you have a chance to help," Sair said. "I was shaking at one point."
Matt Steenberg, Sair's position coach at Cortland, heard about the rescue from Cortland head football coach Dan MacNeill. He said he wasn't surprised that Sair responded quickly.
"He rose up and stepped up to meet that call, a lot like he did at Cortland State," Steenberg said. He pointed out that Sair changed positions twice during his career at Cortland without question or hesitation.
Sair likened his reaction to an approach in the final two minutes of a close football game.
"You've got to react fast," he said. "And you've got to do as much as you can in that short period of time."
At six feet and 230 pounds, the former business economics major wasn't rattled by towering defensive linemen during his football career. Steenberg praised the former running back's mental toughness and his ability to lead by example without saying many words.
"Dom might have been quiet," Steenberg said. "But he expounded on his words with his ability and play."
Sair said the rescue, more significant than a hundred Cortaca wins, undoubtedly marked his life's greatest accomplishment.
"Football is temporary," he said. "This was legitimate."

Reacting to the Autumn Statement, the British Chambers of Commerce said the country needs a "wholesale re-prioritisation of resources".
The warning came despite the Chancellor cutting corporation tax to 21pc, cancelling a rise in fuel duty, offering £1.5bn of funding to support exports, and increasing capital allowances for investment in an attempt to stimulate the economy.
Those measures were welcomed by John Cridland, director-general of the CBI, who said the Government had taken action on three key components of the economy – infrastructure, investment and exports.
"I like that they stuck to the [fiscal] plan and have not got obsessed by targets," he said.
However Mr Cridland said the Government had to speed up the initiatives it had earmarked to stimulate the economy, particularly infrastructure projects.
"On the ground it is sluggish and that is disappointing," he said. "I am not going to celebrate victory at the despatch box. I want to see action on the ground."
John Longworth, director-general of the BCC, went further. He said: "Less than two weeks ago, the Prime Minister declared that Britain was in the midst of an 'economic war'. Unfortunately, the measures set out in the Government's Autumn Statement fail to match the urgency of that declaration.
"The Government is still tinkering around the edges. The Budget next March must make truly radical and large-scale choices that support long-term growth and wealth creation."
The BCC's chief said such an approach should involved "reconsidering the 'sacred cows' of the political class, including overseas aid and the gargantuan scale of the welfare state.
"Only a wholesale re-prioritisation of resources, to unlock private sector finance, investment and jobs, will be enough to win the 'economic war' we are facing. The danger is that our political class is sleepwalking with its eyes open."
The BCC's criticism won support from a diverse range of sources, including trade unions.
Brendan Barber, general secretary of the TUC, said: "What is missing is any vision of a future economy that can deliver decent jobs and living standards – it's pain without purpose."
However, Nancy Curtin, chief investment officer at Close Brothers Asset Management, said there were some "hidden gems" from the Chancellor for businesses. "Reducing the corporate rate of tax to 21pc in 2014 may prove a significant step towards encouraging corporates to remain headquartered on UK shores, earmarking £5bn in infrastructure projects should go some way to stimulating the economy, particularly in the beleaguered regions, and paving the way for investment in shale gas is certainly an economic positive – albeit with strings attached as the current ban on fracking would have to be lifted to realise this potential.
"Is this the start of something bigger? With austerity measures now officially extended to 2017, it might need to be."
There was also support for Mr Osborne from the high street, with the British Retail Consortium saying that the cancelling of the scheduled fuel duty increase was part of a collection of "bold" moves that would "reassure for the long-term and give struggling households and businesses the confidence to spend and invest".
The manufacturing trade body, the EEF, said that the Chancellor had his "hands firmly on the levers of growth".

IJOY's limitless supply of high-end atomisers has just increased by a factor of one, thanks to the recent release of their latest Tornado 150 sub ohm tank with an RTA deck also included in the package.
Yet another ingenious design from these guys combines the chimney and coil into one piece, giving you the chance to experience immense flavour and vapour production from a pre-built 0.3Ω (316L SSW) coil that can produce up to 150W of pure pleasure. And I don't say that lightly.
It's not just about the performance factor these days but the style and finishing which carries a certain amount of kudos. So, I'm pleased to say that the Tornado 150 will not only perform at the highest level but look the part too!
With so much competition around, design engineers have to be at the very top of their game and IJOY's most defiantly seem to be at the top of theirs of late.
So What's all the fuss about? Let's take a more in-depth look and find out!
The IJOY Tornado 150 Sub Ohm Tank comes in a sealed plastic container with an outer cover that includes the following:
1x IJOY Tornado 150 Sub Ohm Tank
1x 0.3Ω (80-150W) pre-installed (Stainless Steel Wire)
1x 0.25Ω (40-80W) 316L Stainless Steel Wire
1x RTA Deck with RTA coil included
1x Wide Bore Delrin Chuff Cap
1x Spare Glass Tube
1x Tool Bag
Height: 44.0
Width: 25mm
4.2 ml Capacity Tank
Connector: 510 Gold Plated Pin (For Improved Electrical Conductivity)
0.3Ω (80-150W) pre-installed
RTA Deck with RTA coil included
For the purpose of conducting this review, I have used a selection of different E-Liquids with varying PG/VG combinations including an 87%VG 13%PG from Five Fold Vapor and a 70%VG 30%PG from Dark Market. I have also used the latest SMOK Alien device to test it on as well.
For consumers based in the UK & Europe, these Premium E-Liquids can now be purchased by following this Link.
E-Liquids may contain Diacetyl (DA) and acetyl Propionyl (AP) or other carcinogenic ingredients or disease-causing substances, so please be aware of this and seek medical advice before using any of the products used in my reviews.
People can suffer from allergies to chemicals that may be present in the makeup of certain types of E-liquids or produced in their vapour. People can become sensitive to, or even allergic to Nickel or Titanium used in Temperature Controlled designed coils.
Once Again, please be aware of this and seek medical advice before using any of the products used in my reviews. Also, check with your E-liquid supplier or the equipment manufacturers directly before purchase and use.
You might find this range of calculators provided by Steam Engine particularly useful, so thank you to Lars for allowing me to include them in my reviews. These calculators are currently under development, and the information that they contain may change at any time without notice. Please read the How It Works section for a more in-depth understanding.
The Tornado 150 comes with a pre-installed 0.3Ω (80-150W) coil head. You have two furthers options to choose from which include the 0.25Ω (40-80W) coil or the RTA section.
Removing the base gives direct access to the pre-installed coil, which only requires a counter clockwise turn to remove it and replace it with a more suitable alternative if you wish. Remember to prime the coil you have selected prior to using it in order to avoid the dreaded dry hit!
Once you have done this and inserted the base section back into the bottom of the tank you can unscrew the chuff cap from the top, also in a counter-clockwise direction and fill the 4.2ml tank from the sides remembering to avoid the centre chimney.
Attach the Tornado 150 to your device making sure it will fire the wattages suggested for this tank by the manufacturer (Check with the local B&M store prior to purchase) and you should be good to go.
Building The RTA
Begin by unscrewing the chamber wall and loosening the Philips screws on the top of both posts. Insert the coil/coils making sure one end connects to the positive post and the other end is attached to the negative post. Tighten the screws back up to secure each coil into place removing any excess wire with your cutters.
Repeat this process on the opposite side with a dual coil build and you should now have both positioned ready to insert the organic cotton. You can use an Allen key to align the coil/coils if they are not yet set in a horizontal position.
Remember at this point to make sure that the coils are not directly touching either of the posts or could come into contact with the outer casing when it is replaced causing a short.
Also, make sure each of the coils is centred over both of the bottom airflow inlets for maximum vapour production. Use your ohm's meter to check the resistance of your build and check for shorts before test firing and using your build.
Next, attach the open deck to your device and pulse the coils using ceramic tweezers if required to make any small adjustments to the spacing of each coil in order to remove any hotspots, looking for an even glow across each of the coils surface areas.
Cut one or two strips of organic cotton to length depending on whether you have chosen to use either one or two coils in your build and insert these through each coil, making sure you have allowed enough at both ends to fit into the juice wells below.
Apply your e-liquid making sure the coil/coils and the organic cotton are coated sufficiently to avoid dry burning the organic cotton prior to one final test firing to make sure everything is working correctly.
Replace the outer casing checking that neither of the coils is touching either the posts or outer wall, as you do so.
The IJOY Tornado 150 is yet another aesthetically pleasing design from top to bottom with a performance and high quality of finish to match.
Using a wide-bore Delrin chuff cap not only helps to dissipate the build-up of heat but by using a shorter, flatter mouthpiece it also helps to improve the overall flavour production by reducing the distance between the mouthpiece and the coil heads.
Removing the chuff cap for purpose of filling is easily achieved thanks to the knurling which has been placed around the circumference at the bottom of the cap. Attention to detail is something we should expect with IJOY products it seems!
Holding up to 4.2mls of E-Liquid is sufficient for a tank that has been primarily designed to be used at higher temperature settings so it will only require you to fill it up twice daily for the average vaper.
The glass section is held securely in place by the use of two O-rings at the bottom of the tank and one at the top.
The really clever part for me is the inclusion of a chimney purposely built into the top of coil heads which allows the chuff cap to be attached directly to it via the threading at the top. The added bonus with this is that you can fill the tank up completely without the fear of it overflowing into the centre chimney.
The RTA section has been very well constructed with buttery smooth threading, two large air intakes that should allow for even the largest coil types to get sufficient air circulation around them intensifying the flavour.
Four spacious juice inlets have been added, two on each side greatly reducing any chance of a dry hit, and lastly a gold plated connector at the base of the RTA itself.
Flavour I have to say is the best I've personally experienced with a pre-made coil. There is ample airflow thanks to the wide inlet on the coils themselves and a fully adjustable airflow control ring with two air intakes situated on either side and positioned at the base of the tank.
IJOY have thoughtfully included a gold plated fully adjustable 510 connector with peak insulation for improved electrical conductivity so you should not experience any problems when connecting it to your chosen device.
One small point worth mentioning here is the inclusion of an anti-spit back guard on future releases due to the close proximity of the coil to the mouthpiece?
To sum up the Tornado 150 from IJOY quickly for you in my opinion, If you're looking for an atomiser that looks very classy, has an ability to please the flavour chasers amongst you with very good vapour production to boot, and has high quality finish on all parts, then look no further at this present moment in time as it appears this is currently the best all round performer in its class.
Very impressed.
Expected price range to be around the £22.00 or $25.00 respectively from HEAVEN GIFTS.

M.S. Alternative Energy
The development of sustainable energy using solar cells, fuel cells, biofuels, and nuclear fusion has attracted tremendous attention worldwide. The Chemical Engineering faculty has established exceptionally strong research programs in advanced materials, biotechnology, and nanotechnology as the intellectual foundation for the pursuit of alternative energy resources to supplement, and ultimately to supplant, fossil fuels. It is timely to have a New York State approved M.S. Alternative Energy degree program in place to educate and train the workforce for an emerging job market into the future. This post-graduate program is designed for students entering with a B.S. degree in engineering or science.
Master of Science with Thesis (Plan A)
Students in Plan A must earn a minimum of 30 credit hours, at least 18 of which should be attributed to 400‐level courses. The balance of the credit‐hour requirement can be satisfied through independent reading (no more than 4 credit hours) and thesis research (at least 6 credit hours), culminating in a Master's thesis.
Master of Science without Thesis (Plan B)
Students in Plan B must earn a minimum of 32 credit hours of coursework acceptable as graduate credits, at least 18 of which should be attributed to the 400-level courses identified and no more than 4 through independent reading. Students may opt for an industrial internship (1 credit hour), for which a final essay must be submitted as a part of their degree requirements. In addition to coursework and the essay, all Plan B students must pass a comprehensive oral examination as part of the degree requirements.

Grad Devika Arora Builds Successful 'Flea Market' in Calcutta
Online Entertainment Business graduate Devika Arora is the founder and creative head of the 420 Rooftop Flea Market, a bi-monthly bazaar held on a grassy rooftop in the heart of Calcutta, India. She developed the concept in 2011 during her final months in the program, looking for a way to blend her love of music, dance, design, and art into a local business venture.
In less than a year the Flea Market has become a popular destination for area residents – attracting a diverse lineup of artists, chefs, and other vendors. We recently spoke with Devika, who explained how the idea came together, what a typical event is like, and how the community has helped turn her seed of an idea into a success story.
Full Sail: How long after coming up with the idea were you able to open the Flea Market?
Devika Arora: 3 months. The first big event I hosted was called '420: Intro.' We had 10 stall owners who sold local handmade items and organic products, while indie musicians performed on the unplugged stage. It was the perfect start.
FS: Can you describe what a typical event is like?
DA: We have three permanent fixtures – shopping stalls, a live performance stage, and a hangout area, but every event we host has a new theme. For 'Dramarama' we introduced stalls like hair braiding, airbrush tattooing, and face painting. Another one called 'Back To Basics' sold only organic items, recycled products, and vegan food.
FS: Have you gotten positive feedback from the community?
DA: The warmest response that a start up venture could wish for. Our first few gathered crowds of 200 to 400 people, and we have now grown to almost 4000 people at our last event. We have grown by a staggering rate, and the people of Calcutta have single-handedly made the Flea Market what it is thanks to their support.
FS: What's been the most rewarding part of the success for you?
DA: The best feeling is going home after a long day and looking back at what you've created. When I think about all those young musicians who played on stage for the first time, or fashion design grads who finally had enough gumption to sell their clothes in a real world situation. That makes me very proud.

Legislative Update Week Three
Wednesday, January 29, which was also Kansas Day and the
153rd year of Kansas' statehood, the Capitol was visited by hundreds of Kansans
for the building's dedication. The renovations of the Capitol took nearly fourteen years to complete and now the interior of the building, especially the new public entrance and Visitor
Center, are now complete. I am honored to serve in this majestic building that serves as the people's house for the state of Kansas.
The dedication began at noon on the first floor of the rotunda, and the master of ceremonies of the event was John Holt from Fox 4 in Kansas City and formerly of Barton County.
Some of the honored speakers who addressed the crowd during the
dedication were Jennie Chinn, Executive Director of the Kansas Historical
Society, Ray Merrick, Speaker of the House of Representatives and Susan Wagle,
President of the Senate. During the dedication of the Capitol, historical re-enactors portrayed famous Kansans in our state's history, such as Cyrus K. Holliday, Topeka founder and Minnie J.
Grinstead, the first female elected to the state Legislature.
The Capitol was then officially dedicated by Governor Sam Brownback who unveiled a plaque commemorating the dedication, then cake was served to all in attendance. Before the
conclusion of the dedication, the Topeka West High School orchestra led all
those in attendance in Kansas' state song, "Home on the Range," which was written
by Dr. Brewster M. Higley, Smith County, Kansas, in the early 1870's.
In addition to the new Visitor Center, some of the other areas of interest now open after the Capitol renovations are: an auditorium, Notable Kansans Hall, Construction Hall, Hall of Native Peoples, the House of Representatives and Senate Chambers and the dome. I
encourage all Kansans to visit the state Capitol which exemplifies our state's pride
and history.
The Agriculture and Natural Resources Budget committee held an informational hearing on the Kansas Aqueduct Study, which will update a 1982 study regarding the Ogallala Aquifer.
The premise of the study is to construct 360 miles of canals and pipelines from the Missouri River by White Cloud, Kansas to a receiving reservoir in southwest Kansas. This
reservoir would have a water storage capacity of 700,000 acre foot and would be
used for seasonal irrigation demands. The funding to update the study is $300,000 and is being paid by Federal Funds, the Kansas Water Office, GMD Number 3 and in kind contributions. The only state dollars used for the study is from the Kansas Water Office and that amount was $37,500.
One of the most contentious bills so far in the 2014 legislative session is Senate bill 298, the elimination of the Mortgage Registration Fee. The current statute regarding the Mortgage Registration Fee allows the Register of Deeds of each county to collect this fee at a rate of $0.26 for every $100 that is borrowed for a property that is recorded by a mortgage.
A portion of that fee is also allocated to the Heritage Trust Fund at the Kansas State Historical Society receiving 1/26th of the fee, with an annual cap of $100,000 for each county. The
general fund of each county receives the remaining amount.
This Mortgage Registration Fee, once again, is only imposed when there is a mortgage filed with the county during the transfer of property. I have heard from each county government in the 109th House District regarding this issue. In the emails, conversations or telephone
calls that I have had with either County Commissioners, Register of Deeds or
other county personnel, they have all indicated that if the state of Kansas
eliminates the Mortgage Registration Fee, then the only recourse that the
counties will have in order to recover the loss of funds from this fee would be
to increase the mill levy. Depending on the county, and their loss of revenue, I have received resolutions from county commissioners from each of the counties in the district that they will need to increase the mill from 1.0 to 1.3 mills in order to recover the loss.
The advocates for the elimination of this fee are the Kansas Bankers Association and the Kansas Realtors Association. Their main argument is that this fee is unfair and is not imposed by other states in our region. While the state of Kansas is one of the only states that have this fee type in our region, almost all other states have what is referred to as a "transfer tax" that is paid anytime a property changes hands.
On Tuesday, January 28, the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee had an
information hearing that was presented by the Kansas Department of Revenue,
Kansas Highway Patrol and the Kansas Corporation Commission. They wanted to discuss the changes and clarification regarding the self-certification that is needed for Commercial
Drivers Licenses (CDLs). However, during the question and answer period of the hearing, it was clear that regulations regarding CDLs is still somewhat unclear. Some of the questions that were asked were farm exemptions, weighting or vehicle type when a CDL is needed.
Due to the fact there were many questions directed at each of the departments,
Chairwoman Sharon Schwartz decided to form a sub-committee task force to
streamline CDL clarification. Chairwoman Schwartz asked me to sit on this subcommittee with two other representatives.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact my office at (785) 296-7672 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. It is an honor to serve the 109th Kansas House District and the state of Kansas. I appreciate the perspectives from the residents of the 109th House District and others from the state of Kansas.

View a map of the PG&E pipelines in Palo Alto
The sight of PG&E workers testing mains and replacing pipes will become more commonplace on Palo Alto streets in the coming years as the company zooms in on three major gas lines stretching through the city.
Company trucks and field teams have become a visible presence over the past two months as PG&E crews conducted hydrostatic tests of Line 132, the line that was involved in a fatal San Bruno explosion in September 2010. The inspections -- which uncovered a small leak in a pipe segment near Page Mill Road and Hanover Street -- concluded this weekend when PG&E completed the final welding on the site and returned the pipeline to normal operations.
Such projects should become a norm in the next three years as the embattled utility company proceeds with an ambitious, state-mandated plan to test all pipelines similar to the one in San Bruno. The company also has to replace some of its oldest pipes and install automatic valves at various points in its gas-distributions system.
This will inevitably mean more road closures and construction work in Palo Alto, which has three PG&E pipelines passing under its streets.
PG&E officials gave a detailed report about the company's plans -- and its early results -- at last week's Palo Alto City Council meeting. Among its early projects is a plan to replace portions of Line 101 -- a pipeline that roughly parallels U.S. Highway 101 and that connects with Line 132.
Todd Hogenson, director of PG&E's Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan, said Line 101 was installed in the 1920s and all of its segments have since been replaced. Though the stretch of Line 101 passing through the city is only 2.5 miles long, it includes no fewer than five different pipe types, ranging from 20 inches to 36 inches in diameter. This, he said, makes it difficult for the company to run inline tests through the pipe.
"There's no tool on the market today that can go from 36 inch to 24 inch," Hogenson told the council at the Nov. 14 meeting.
Hogenson said the company plans to modify the segment of Line 101 between Palo Alto and Milpitas over the next two years and to run inline-inspection tools -- generally known as "pigs" -- through the line in 2014.
"We want to upgrade this pipeline to accommodate inline-inspection tools," Hogenson said.
The company also plans to replace portions of the aged Line 109, which runs parallel to Line 101 along Middlefield Road. Hogenson said the line was installed in 1936 and has received little or no testing since then. The company plans to replace the 4.6-mile segment of Line 109 in Palo Alto in 2013, Hogenson said.
Meanwhile, all three PG&E lines in Palo Alto will operate under reduced pressure, he said. Shortly after the San Bruno explosion, PG&E reduced the pressure to 300 pounds per square inch, far below their capacity (Lines 101 and 132 both have the capacity of 400 pounds per square inch).
"PG&E has no intention of increasing operating pressure until all 1936 pipes have been replaced," Hogenson told the council.
Palo Alto officials voiced no objections to PG&E's plan to test and replace pipelines throughout the city, though Councilman Pat Burt said he was concerned about the company's decision not to hydro-test Line 109. The 1936 pipe -- unlike other local mains -- was put together through a "single submerged arc weld" method, in which the pipe cylinder is welded with one seam. Others, including Line 101, use a double-seam weld in which pipes are also secured from the inside. The company also has no records of tests conducted on Line 109.
According to the Utilities Department, Line 109 runs along Middlefield from Mountain View then turns up East Charleston/Arastradero Road and goes north along Foothill Expressway. About two-thirds of the line has been replaced in recent years.
Burt urged the company to consider testing the Palo Alto segment of the 1936 line rather than wait until 2013 to replace it. The line, he said, has all the characteristics of a "high-priority" segment.
"It's an old line; it's a single weld; it's in a school zone; and you have no testing record," Burt said.
Hogenson said PG&E plans to replace about 20 miles of the 1936 pipeline between Milpitas and San Francisco, including about 1.5 miles in Palo Alto. He said it costs PG&E more than $1.2 million per mile to hydro-test its mains and said the money would be better spent on replacing the aged pipes, including the Palo Alto segment of Line 109.
"We think replacement is really the best solution," Hogenson said.
In the meantime, PG&E is wrapping up its two-month long process of testing at Line 132. The Utilities Department announced that the company is now conducting general clean up and restoration of all areas of activity -- a process that is expected to stretch until the end of November.

       North Orissa University was established with the objectives of providing quality professional
education to all sections of students. With the advent of liberalization since 1991, the Central and State Government are
seriously reviewing and evaluating the State of Higher Education especially in emerging fields. There is a marked shift in
Government's approach from regular campus higher education to higher education through distance learning mode. Most important
aspect is the introduction of various professional courses in distance learning mode to generate additional resources keeping
in view the recent trends in the Indian industry. In this connection, the department of Higher Education, Government of Orissa
and the University Grants Commission have advised the University to generate additional resources by offering distance learning
courses and self financing courses.
       All the courses will be conducted under Off-Campus-Distance Learning (OCDL) mode. Under such learning mode, the students will be given education through study centres. However, the students may join the study Centre for acquiring necessary skills and Hands on for practical subjects. Under OCDL system, special emphasis is to be given to the following points
       Self Initiated Learning requires specially designed study materials where the topics are derived through lessons as per the requirement of particular syllabus. The student has to set his own speed and methodology of learning with the help of various teaching/learning aids available.
       Personal Contact Programme is actually interactive learning session and not like regular classroom teaching. These sessions are basically organized to provide a platform to the students to clarify their doubts which they are unable to understand after going through the study materials. This is essentially a question answering session.
       For papers/ Subjects involving practical training, the students can get associated with their study Centres.
       Project Report forms an integral part of this system of education. This helps students to implement their knowledge, acquired during the learning process.

I started this blog yesterday, with eight posts that I'd written over the course of the last week (while my wife researched WordPress and did the set-up and design work for me). So far, it's a pretty incoherent blog, but that's ok. Oh, and I hope no one thinks I 'm cheating by back-dating posts so that they fall chronologically.
I think a few things are going to happen as I roll forward.
- I'll find more of a "voice" — I used to be a writer, and I think I can be again. Writing a little every day will help that develop in me.
- I'll get up-to-date on the backlog of Gig Diaries, so that I can write about current events, instead of stuff that happened months ago.
- The Fuzzy Lemons will take off and become world-famous, and as I'm thrust into the national spotlight this blog will suddenly become of paramount importance to my screaming throngs of fans. I'll find my audience, in other words.
There are a few things that are NOT going to happen here, as well.
- I'm not going to write about my wife and kid. Friends and family know how to follow their adventures elsewhere on the internet, and they're not for public consumption.
- I'm going to keep it clean. As much fun as it would be to keep a salacious journal like Kevin Smith, I aspire to be a family-friendly entertainer. Maybe if my band were a goth-death-metal outfit named "The Flaming Pus Nozzles" I could go into all the sticky details of my life. But no, we're called "The Fuzzy Lemons," so I'll be writing mainly about our adventures trying to get a video on Noggin.
Off to teach Music Together, have a good day!

As a debut, Dry ticked all the right boxes when it was released, way back in 1992. At the time, Grunge was big around the world and PJ's stripped back blues rock and angst-ridden vocals often garnered comparisons to Patti Smith, Godmother of Grunge, although Polly hardly agrees, instead calling it, simply, lazy journalism.
From the opener, Oh, My Lover, with its plea of "don't you know it's alright, you can love her", Polly plays out her passions straight from her heart and guitar. And her attack is relentless throughout the album, where, black widow-like, she lures the listener into her web with soft-sung vocals and delicate arrangements before pouncing. The only exceptions to this winning formula are the Breeders-like Plant And Rags and Water.
Yes, the production is rough and the mastering limited, but nonetheless, this is a stunning debut from a talent who has since proven herself to be a major musical force. Personally, I still think Dress is one of the best songs she's ever written. For this reason (amongst many), I'm calling this another Forgotten Gem.

Yesterday, pop singer Cody Simpson appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show show to chat and perform his latest single. At the beginning of the interview, the young Australian presented Ellen with a gift – a huge, over-sized, stuffed koala in a Cody Simpson t-shirt. I designed that Koala!
They based the design and concept on my drawings and turn-arounds! Hopefully, it will be available to the public soon. How exciting!

'The use of the sexual device as a prop, in my mind, it made sense' – Daniel Roberts explains his actions on Who Is America?
The founder of Youth Shooters America was pranked by Sacha Baron Cohen on the latest episode of the show
One of the people pranked by Sacha Baron Cohen on his new show Who Is America? has revealed he had no idea that he had been set up until after the episode aired on Showtime in the US.
Daniel Roberts featured in the most recent episode of the satirical series which sees the UK actor and comedian posing as various characters including Erran Morad, an Israeli anti-terrorism expert, and engaging with mostly high profile conservative figures.
Roberts is the founder of Youth Shooters America which, he says, "teaches and promotes youth shooting sports". He was duped into believing Morad would school him in how to fight terrorism. At one point he got Roberts to bite down on a dildo in an effort to prevent himself from being beheaded.
Prior to the attempted beheading, Roberts said, "There's something wrong with the culture that we can't talk about being around guns." Baron Cohen replied, "It is crucial to have the guns in the school?" and Roberts said, "Yes, absolutely. I agree with you."
Roberts had previously been interviewed by Piers Morgan in the aftermath of the Las Vegas shooting in which 58 people died. Asked what he was going to do about it by Morgan, Roberts replied, "not much of anything, hopefully".
Speaking to the New York Times, Roberts said he had no idea who Baron Cohen was and did not see the episode but was alerted to his appearance via a phone call from a friend.
He said the production company called him and said a group of Israeli special forces soldiers were shooting a programme about terrorism and how American's defend themselves against terrorist. He said it sounded "legitimate".
"I've always had a great amount of respect for the Israeli military," he told the New York Times. "For me, it sounded like a perfectly legitimate opportunity to take advantage of a situation to be taught by people that I would regard as some of the best in the world with counterterrorism."
He said there were moments during filming when he felt "extraordinarily uncomfortable". However, he said the use of the dildo made sense to him in that moment.
"The use of the — what's the polite way to describe this? — the use of the sexual device as a prop, in my mind, it made sense," he said.
"Think about what they're claiming: a last resort. You have one chance to do something, or you're certain you're going to die. That's the scenario they've laid out. I don't know many people, if they were completely honest, that they would say they wouldn't take that opportunity to maybe, hopefully, grab one thing to maybe save their lives."

WATCH: Big Macs Are The Same Size As A Cheeseburger
In a video uploaded to Facebook, a New Zealand bloke compared the Big Mac and the humble Cheeseburger - and the results are shocking.
There's been rumours flying around for years that we're all being taken for a ride because Maccas is putting up their prices and reducing the size of the food, but it's happening so gradually that nobody would notice.
Nobody was pulling the wool over this guy's eyes though.
The man ordered a Big Mac and a Cheeseburger and pulled them apart on camera, revealing that the bun and the meat are exactly the same size.
The price of a cheeseburger is $2.45 and the Big Mac retails for $4.55
Something doesn't add up...

High School Lily
I wanted a clean and simple look to the card so the image has been printed directly onto it (Papermill Direct white linen effect). The little tag has been handwritten and I've cut it from the same card and its a Sizzix die. I've scored a line around the edge of the card for a little extra interest.
Bakers twine and charms are from my stash. Actually, I've got a bit of a thing about charms at the moment and have bought quite a few from ebay and although they come in bags of between 20 and 100 I still find others that I *need*..... I know that they will come in useful one day!!
I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Puppy Care Services
YBFF knows that bringing home a new puppy is exciting but it can also be exhausting and stressful. Not to worry, we have a service to help new puppy owners with important tasks involved in raising the newest member of your family. We will customize a feeding, exercise and training schedule just for your pup.
- Keep a routine feeding (most puppies eat 3-4 times a day until 6 months)
- Consistent potty breaks to support proper house-training
- Introduction to loose leash walking during daily exercise
- Help learn basic commands and manners through positive reinforcement (sit, heel, down, etc.)
- Help keep puppy exercised and busy to burn off excess energy
- A piece of mind for the pet mom/dad while away at work
Elder Care Services
We at YBFF love, love, love our senior pet friends. They hold a very special place in all of our hearts.
As your pet ages, their comfort level becomes more of a concern while you are away than ever before. Aging pets have unique needs that require special care and attention. Many senior pets begin to feel the discomfort of hearing loss, arthritis, vision loss, joint pain and sometimes show signs of senility. Let's face it, we all want to spoil them more than ever now and they deserve it.
Where is your senior pet most comfortable? The answer is in their own home. While senior pets sleep more during the day and night, they do have routines and familiarity of the surroundings in which they have come to rely on each day.
YBFF will make sure your senior pet is receiving the most compassionate and loving care possible. Because of blindness or hearing difficulties, the senior pet may be confused. We speak to them at all times before touching them and the entire time we are with them so we don't startle them.
We prepare any type food required and administer any type medications and injections.
Patience, Care and Love
We handle all senior pets as if they may have arthritis or other joint problems moving very slowly and carefully when working with them in order to make them more comfortable and prevent injuries.
Accidents can happen. Older cats and dogs may occasionally soil floors and carpets if their nature calls and they are unable to reach the outside or litter box in time. We are very patient with your seniors and help them know we understand.
The most important thing is to continue lavishing an abundance of love on your aging pets. They do wonderfully knowing we are there for them, giving them a sense of security especially when they may feel anxious about their owner not being there.

|Pinktacular rose
True or false? When do you bloom best?
I hope you enjoy sitting there singing that hair band song. I have gotten so much crap for putting myself out here the way I did. I lost friends who can not understand why I would expose myself like this. People have told me that I cant talk about cancer because I didn't have the "real cancer", damn then why the hell did I get a mastectomy??? Through this I have made enemies with people I do not even know because they think the pink ribbon is breast cancer awareness, not my scared chest. They are the thorns in my rose!
I have made women who would never get a mammo not only get one but follow up. That is almost as important as going, anyone can get one but how many come back. The images I have shown have helped so many see what it was going to be like. Isn't that so important to take the scary out of what is beyond scary enough? I am getting men and women alike to do self breast exams, men already love coping a feel but now they are doing it for health reasons. Stupid Dumb Breast Cancer has raised $25,500.00 to date for breast cancer, there is the real pink ribbon. Making Caring Kids is what our community needs, letting the kids be apart of real volunteer service. This is getting them to be proactive in making a difference. Joining with Cancer Connects and Jill to help people battling the beast brings this whole journey into what I was meant to do. This is my rose, this is how I bloom.
Honestly these metaphors are killing me! I am such not the English major. Although there are princesses in England…..

New York – April 7, 2013 – Samsung Electronics America, Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd, today announced the Samsung UGEO H60, the first ultrasound system integrating Samsung technology and design introduced to the U.S. medical imaging market. Combining Samsung's latest medical imaging technology and smart design, the Samsung UGEO H60 ensures superior imaging performance and a sleek design that provides users with a fast, accurate and intuitive ultrasound experience. The UGEO H60 is among a number of innovative medical imaging products Samsung will be showcasing at this week's American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine's (AIUM) Annual Convention at the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel, Booth #516.
In addition, Samsung is also introducing FRV™ - Feto Realistic View, a new image rendering technology for the premium Accuvix A30 ultrasound system that gathers much more information from 3D/4D data than previous versions, enabling highly detailed images of the fetus. The FRV™ software update will be available to new and existing Accuvix A30 customers.
"The Samsung UGEO H60 and FRV™ are just the latest examples of our global commitment to introducing increased innovation to the healthcare market through our health and medical business unit," said Tod Pike, senior vice president of Samsung Electronics America's Enterprise Business Division. "We are keen to demonstrate how the integration of Samsung technology into our lineup of medical ultrasound and imaging products can help enhance the quality of care and transform both the patient and provider experience."
Samsung's showcase at the AIUM convention will feature:
Performance & Design
The Samsung's UGEO H60 combines high performance with the attention to design that has made Samsung a global technology leader. The UGEO H60 features SDMR™ image processing technology, providing sharp 2D images for optimal diagnostic performance and S-Flow™, an innovative function that enables color detection with superior sensitivity, that allows even micro vessels to appear in high resolution. In addition, the UGEO H60's 18.5-inch LED-backlit monitor features Samsung's world-class image processing technologies and Hybrid Imaging Engine to deliver clear, accurate clinical images.
The new ultrasound system integrates Samsung's smart design approach to provide an ergonomic form factor that enhances the user experience. Despite its high-performance, the UGEO H60 offers a slim profile for optimal use in crowded scan rooms. Unlike the bulkiness of existing ultrasound systems, the Samsung UGEO H60 boasts a sophisticated and distinctive appearance that creates a comforting diagnostic environment for patients. Innovative features include a built-in gel warmer, which keeps the ultrasound gel at a temperature between 86 and 102 degrees, helping to ensure patient comfort.
Leveraging Samsung's technology leadership in consumer electronics, the UGEO H60 utilizes the same touch screen display technology as Samsung's award-winning Galaxy Tab 10.1, providing a responsive touch experience combined with a selection of customizable keys and menus for quick operation and efficient workflow. In addition, users can employ the Time Gain Compensator (TGC) function to create and access saved presets for added convenience.
Samsung's Special Interest Education Sessions at AIUM
Samsung has been invited to showcase its platform of ultrasound equipment during several of the special interest sessions offered by the AIUM, where attendees can earn continuing medical education (CME) credits. These include:
Samsung will also be hosting the Accuvix A30 – FRV™ hospitality suite on Monday, April 8 from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. in the Liberty Ballroom. Throughout the evening, attendees will have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience with the Accuvix A30 and visit two ultrasound live-scan stations, which will illustrate
both abdominal and obstetric imaging acquisitions. For an invitation to experience the hospitality suite, please visit the Samsung booth (#516).

POLICY 2004: Waiting for Godot
December, 2003. Give us some more time and next year, we would take issues like CAS, DTH, second phase of FM radio and the matter of news channels uplinking from India forward. Since the regulator is studying some cases, we'd wait for its recommendations. This would be done apart from other initiatives in the media and entertainment sector. ------- the then information and broadcasting minister RAVI SHANKAR PRASAD.
January 6, 2005. I don't think we are going to take decisions in a hurry and CAS is certainly not a priority at the moment. The ministry is still studying various recommendations of Trai. I am trying to evolve a system where I complete a job and then speak about it. ----- the present I&B minister JAIPAL REDDY.
In between these two observations, hangs a tale. A tale spanning almost nine months (three months before the general elections and six months after a new government had come to the helm of affairs) in slomo and indecisiveness. A phase when not only the media, but the industry too expected some rapid-fire action from the new government. Especially because Reddy is an old hand at the I&B ministry and had some radical plans last time round when he had the portfolio.
If the following paragraphs make a mention of policies that are likely to impact the industry, they were set in motion much before Reddy and co. took over. So take
a breath. Here goes. DTH, if Reddy has his way, will probably take flight. FM radio is heading nowhere. TRAI is announcing regulations with no help from the ministry (the regulator continues to draw its mandate from the previous government). FDI in print is being looked at again - after International Herald Tribune started operations on Indian soil and the film industry is still crying hoarse on rampant piracy. To add to the state of indecisiveness, politicians got busy with turf war and bureaucrats lived up to their breed by finding ways and means to debate issues that could have been cut short for the final decisions to be taken quickly.
Nothing can highlight the lull than the I&B ministry yearly round up put out by the government PR division, Press Information Bureau. Amongst other things, it listed 2004 events like DD's DTH (the most significant one it seems), holding of international film fest in Goa and the Economic Editors' Conference in Delhi and giving momentum to an inter-ministerial panel on vulgarity and surrogate ads on TV.
Let us take the biggest event --- or the non-event may be --- of 2003. Rocked by high-level lobbying by the industry and public indifference, the then national Democratic Front government, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, dropped the politically hot potato called CAS in the lap of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) towards the end of 2003, thinking the issue could be taken up in 2004 after it comes back to power. This was done after months of mandays had been wasted in government-industry interaction on CAS and some investment had been made by certain players in infrastructure anticipating arrival of a new technological regime.
What's the status now? Despite Trai submitting a comprehensive report, which some in the ministry term more complicated than the issue itself, on how an addressable system could be brought about in India, the I&B ministry now is said to be studying the case all over again. An indication to the disdain to the Trai report comes out when an official said last year, "Travelling all over the world and compiling how things work elsewhere, doesn't make a sectoral report."
As the turf war between the Trai and the I&B ministry continued in the latter half of 2004, several important decision got held up, including the second phase of FM radio, which, according to Reddy's multiple reiteration, has the potential of bringing about a radio revolution coupled with community radio services. The turf war was so intense that Trai also decided to sound the bugle by declaring grandly that since broadcast and cable services have been re-designated telecom services by the previous government, the Authority should also have a say in the policy making process on downlinking. Not only Trai rushed a letter to the I&B ministry on this issue, but also said publicly that it needs more powers to adjudicate in intra and inter-industry disputes.
"If need be, we'd approach the Supreme Court," Trai chairman and former bureaucrat Pradip Baijal grandly announced on the sidelines of a public function last
month, indicating the stridency in the regulator's outlook.
DTH matter continued to simmer throughout 2004 despite Trai's suggestions to both the I&B and telecom ministries to extend some sops to the players like allowing a DTH service provider to use foreign satellites and a cut in the revenue sharing percentage. But the year would be remembered more by the Rupert Murdoch-controlled Star for having successfully failed to `move' either files or the bureaucrats in the ministry. Thus, Space TV (a joint venture between the Tatas and Star) continues to hang in space as the government tries digging for more
facts about the project.
Contrast it with pubcaster Doordarshan's elation. After several aborted attempts and false call, it managed to get off the ground its free DTH service. Dubbed a "unique project" by Reddy, DD Direct Plus will enable the viewers access to 33 free-to-air TV channels, mostly comprising DD's and private channels, and 10-odd radio channels. At taxpayers' expense, the government and Prasar Bharati have embarked on a project that doesn't seem to be able to turn commercially viable for some time to come.
Year 2004 was characterised by long pauses, remarkable inaction and little else. Reddy sat on some of the most important decisions taken by the previous government on the pretext of getting a better insight. Much to the chagrin of conscience-keepers of the present government, namely the Left, Reddy distinguished himself with his trademark verbosity ---which failed to keep pace with action.
One fondly hopes that 2005 would be better off for the industry as it grapples with bottomline-impacting policy decisions in the pipeline (ask the financially bleeding private FM radio operators and they'll vouch for this fact, waiting anxiously for a word from the government on Trai's suggestions) and policymakers'penchant for looking for the ideal piece of legislation.
That this yearly round up is short, compared to others in the series, speaks itself volubly for the state of policy making during 2004.

Obituary of Philip D. Simonetti
Philip D. Simonetti, 78, of Winslow Township passed away on Thursday, January 18, 2018 at Cooper Medical Center in Camden. Born in Winslow Township he was a lifelong resident there.

Ever since 2006 on India's National Day, the 26th January, the Future Group's Big Bazaar superstores hold the Big Sale – Sabe Saste Din – and thousands of items are priced, in the words of one advert, as "cashews for peanuts". This year the sale lasts for a few days but the first year saw crowds that were unprecedented and stores in Kolkata were closed by mid-day because of fears for public safety. Big Bazaar were prepared for this – having studied crowd control at religious festivals. However, not all religious festivals run smoothly.
Sabarimla is located in a remote area of Kerala, India, and characterised by dense forest and difficult terrain infested with wild animals. Sabarimla is home to the deity Kantamala Jyoti, "the sacred light of the magnetic hills". Back in the 1950's a trickle of pilgrims would make the treacherous 65 kms trek barefoot over seven seven steep hills to witness the shrine; "thorns and sharp stones are like pads on our feet". This year, millions made the journey and 102 pilgrims were crushed to death as the hopelessly inadequate infrastructure collapsed.
Sabarimala lacks basic amenities. Devotees stand in queues for 15 to 20 hours with few facilities for food and basic sanitation. A major problem is controlling the flow of pilgrims and the 120 died at Pulmedu – one of the principal routes to the shrine – where three policemen were on duty to deal with the flow of over 200,000 pilgrims. A sudden surge could not be stopped and, the irony is that many officials put this down to the suffering implicit in the act of pilgrimage itself and use this as an excuse for inertia – which is not a million miles different from market fundamentalists saying that market forces will find their own equilibrium through the eternally good offices of the invisible hand.
Let's move to China. Every February, over 200 million migrant workers take the journey home for the Spring Festival. This year, the travel rush is expected to record 2.56 billion passenger trips throughout China. Every year the legions of men and women who work the factories that power unprecedented growth in the factories of Shanghai; the electronics factories of Shenzen and the mines of Henan briefly find themselves in the national spotlight. Hundreds of extra trains are commissioned to navigate the snow bound tracks to take people home. Restaurants, factories and all kinds of business shut down bringing the entire country to a week long standstill.
Working away is tough and the true costs are rarely calculated but, for the workers, it amounts to the stark choice between saving about $50 a month on the farm or, saving over $250 per month where the action is. This is not the place to debate this complex topic but, suffice it to say that like the temple throngs and global emergencies there is much to learn from these sudden surges of activity that test even the best logistics network. Further, as the Chinese government is finding, an annual swarm could become the source of serious unrest as comparisons are made and the inequities of a system that dis-qualifies migrants from health and social care in their temporary workplaces hit home. This is the hukou system and, as an editorial published jointly in 12 national papers last year put it: "bad policies unsuitable to these times enrage the people".
Humanitarian Logistics encounter similar sudden surges as in China and religious festivals such as Sabarimala and examples abound from Chile to Haiti; Sichuan to Niger; Pakistan to Queensland and many more. Some of these locations are well prepared and have the capacity to deal with issues and others do not have the ability to get back on their feet at all. As Paul Collier, the Oxford Economist made clear with Haiti, some places were not on their feet in the first place. He went on to highlight the zoo of NGOs that complicate rather than solve the problems on the ground.
In India alone, there are over 2 million NGOs and, according to a study published by Bain and Co (2010) on the status of Indian philanthropy, fewer than 500 are judged to have the scale to be effective (more than $100,000 in income). One NGO leader observed that the biggest issue is that NGOs are set up on an ad hoc basis to help address a specific issue in a specific location. Few attempts are made to benchmark experience elsewhere and, still fewer use a model based approach – pilot testing a set of assumptions and then rolling this out elsewhere as needed. For example, setting up a model village to act as the nerve centre for a defined area. This "hub" would have the facilities (clinic; school; power generator; resource centre – aka library) and the resources (aggregation, finance and market access skills) to serve a wider radius. It may even develop into a town over time. This would be the way forward to act as a catalyst for investment, skills and impact. Surely, there is an opening for the resources to be given to the Humanitarian effort to work on this for the rehabilitation phase post emergency. If not, why not.
Which brings us back to logistics and supply chain thinking and practice in fast growth and frontier – notice the shift from notions of emerging and developing – markets. As T L amply demonstrates, there is a real need to develop fresh perspectives relevant to these asymmetrical supply chains and, an opportunity to build more inclusive approaches. The numbers are huge – the Pilgrimage at Sabarimala grossed over £250 million this season. And yet, it is remarkable how little we have collated and learned from the catalogue of disasters that regularly whip up a donating frenzy on our television screens. Humanitarian Logistics is Cinderella of logistics and supply chain research and this undermines the ability to learn from experience and improve outcomes next time. In fact, it guarantees the persistence of the ineffective and inefficient zoo of NGOs that one day may result in a tragic backlash from the public as waste and inefficiency checks their generosity in its tracks. Humanitarian Logistics has to be given the resources to channel learnings into practice; deal with contingencies rather than labyrinthine procedures.
In all of this there is an image that persists – natures genius has many examples of how complex matters are broken down into manageable scale. Peter Miller's book Swarm delves into the workings of flocks, herds schools and colonies revealing how collective intelligence in the animal world can teach us humans to organise, systematise and problem-solve more effectively and efficiently. He looks at ants and their ability to segment the work from foraging to preparing food for the colony. Ants don't remember much beyond 10 seconds and, as individuals they don't care whether they succeed – in fact, only one in five ants accomplishes what it sets out to do – but, as a group they function and they prosper. Miller turns to honeybees – we have looked at this elsewhere on the T L Blog – termites and swarms of birds. And if you think this is strange – try walking through Dharavi in Mumbai for a stroll. Also, he focuses on locusts and how swarms can turn nasty – which, this week, offers chilling insights into street protests turning ugly from Tunisia to Egypt and beyond.
Miller uses the example from the Haj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, where recent years have witnessed serious crowd control issues that have resulted in hundreds crushed to death as bottlenecks turn into death traps. In search of an answer to the deaths of over 250 pilgrims in 2006, the Saudis enlisted the help of Dirk Helbing of the Dresden University of Technology; a physicist turned sociologist who was doing traffic science and crowd research at the time. Helbing used parallels between crowd movement and the behaviour of particles or fluids. This included work on molecular dynamics, kinetic gas theory, fluid dynamics and granular flows and supported computer based models to create simulations of the ways pedestrians spontaneously form lanes or, traffic jams suddenly appear on open motorways for no apparent reason.
His conclusions classify crowds according to density – at low densities with little interaction, crowds are in a kind of gaseous state; as more people join people obstruct each other and we shift to a fluid state and, as density intensifies and people start to push each other the state becomes granular – grains of sand moving through the middle of the hourglass. Then, he turned to the video footage and found that there was more to consider. As the pace slowed down more and more people started to look for the gaps – follow the ambulance through the traffic jam and this caused multiple bottlenecks to break out. Helbing calls this stop and go waves and sees the solutions in breaking them up as fast as possible. In logistics terms this is the bull whip effect and it is likely to grow as supply chains move to an asymmetrical state with low tech and traditional suppliers meeting more high tech and modern players further downstream.
The sudden swarms of pilgrims, migrant workers and examples from nature resemble the workings of an eco-system rather than a well-honed assembly line or, one of those supply chains that connect Big Food or Pharma to Big Retail in the developed world. Supply chains are not wonderfully symmetrical from end-to-end and, as an eco system, they incorporate many of the characteristics of all of the examples raised here. This is the way that innovation in logistics and supply chain thinking and practice has to develop. It is about context and contingencies not just certainties drawn from someplace else.
To use a phrase from President Obama's recent National Address – a Logistics and Supply Chain "sputnik moment" has arrived. It is no longer enough to perfect the supply chains of the developed world. It is time to give real thought and resources to the development of ideas, skills and delivery mechanisms fit for purpose in this far more complex combination of increasingly crowded urban agglomerations, remote rural areas and markets dislocated or destroyed by man-made or natural disasters.
Le Corbusier once remarked that cities have been designed down the ages by the zig zag of donkeys. Our inability to deal with the real logistics agenda posed by the Majority World suggests that we are all too often led by them.

Mark Smallwood is back in training at the Capitol Gym on Longford Road after a car crash which put the brakes on his career for four months.
Cruiserweight Smallwood, 27, one of the brightest hopes for a big title at Coventry firm Capitol Promotions, was lucky to escape with a badly bruised right leg after ending up in a ditch when his brakes failed.
?It was just a normal training day and I was driving my Citroen Xantia back from the gym to Atherstone, where I live,? said Smallwood.
?I had my eye on the steering wheel as I approached a crossroads at about 40mph when I pressed the brakes and nothing happened! I ended up going straight over the crossroads and into a ditch on the other side.
?It was really lucky because there was no traffic coming the other way and the ditch slowed me down. The airbag saved me otherwise I would have mashed my face into the steering wheel ? the car was totalled though!?
By a bizarre coincidence Smallwood?s brother Carl, also a boxer, wrote his car off in the same spot, near the Pinnell Garage.
Four months later and Smallwood?s lower right leg is still livid with black bruising.
?I was on crutches for a couple of months and tried to come back a bit too early so I had to rest again for a couple of weeks,? he added.
?Instead of running I?ve been cycling and my fitness is coming back but I?m not fighting until I am 100 per cent again, it was a pretty bad crash.?
Smallwood?s first target is the November 30 date pencilled in for Dean Pithie?s first defence of his Commonwealth super-featherweight title. With 19 wins from his 21 pro fights, the two defeats to Clinton Woods and King Donga, he knows it?s only his fitness holding him back.
?It has been a bit of a knockback but I?d been out for a few years and I?ve had four fights, four wins since I returned so the plan was to spend this year getting fit again and back in the swing of things and then go for the title next year. That?s still the plan.?
Such is the lack of depth in the 13st 8lbs division at the moment that Smallwood?s ambitions could quickly come true but his problem, once he?s properly fit, will be finding anyone willing to risk their record against him.
Garry Delaney has already pulled out of a planned British title eliminator with Smallwood twice, saying he couldn?t make the weight and the Atherstone man is already considering a move up to heavyweight in the next few years.

Question: When an object (A) casts a shadow and another object (B) is moved to a position about halfway between A and its shadow, so that A's shadow and B's shadows are very close to each other, the shadows become distorted. Why is this? Is it related to diffraction?
b's, casts, close, diffraction, distorted, halfway, object, position, related, shadow
Asked by doppler to Adam, Sheila on 25 Mar 2011 in Categories: General.
Sheila Kanani
answered on 25 Mar 2011:
It can be due to diffraction yes ie due to the light having a different path distance to one object than the other.
One consequence of diffraction is that sharp shadows are not produced. The phenomenon is the result of interference (i.e., when waves are superimposed, they may reinforce or cancel each other out) and is most pronounced when the wavelength of the radiation is comparable to the linear dimensions of the obstacle.
When a beam of light falls on the edge of an object, it will not continue in a straight line but will be slightly bent by the contact, causing a blur at the edge of the shadow of the object; the amount of bending will be proportional to the wavelength.
Adam Tuff
answered on 25 Mar 2011:
This is related to diffraction of light around a solid edge of an object – the two shadows I imagine would interfere with each other either constructively or destructively.

High sales, record shares trend at LVMH
Shares in LVMH have hit a record high after the French company reported a surge in first-quarter sales. But, as Laura Frykberg reports, the world's biggest luxury goods group has also cautioned its business envronment remains uncertain
It might not reflect what most can afford... Those who can though, appear to have their wallets wide open. The world's biggest luxury goods group LVMH has seen a surge in first quarter sales, to over 9 billion euros. That's up fifteen percent year-on-year. (SOUNDBITE) (English) CIBC, HEAD OF FX STRATEGY, JEREMY STRETCH, SAYING: "Worries the markets had, in particular in relations to an implosion in the Chinese economy this time last year, have proved to dissipate. So we've seen a much more constructive Chinese backdrop and of course that's hugely important for the luxury sector." The French company - which owns brands such as Louis Vuitton, Dior and champagne maker, Moet and Chandon - says it's had solid growth in its main markets.. Not only in China, but in Europe and the U.S too. But the trend could be short-lived. LVMH warning that uncertainty over Brexit and Trump... May see even big spenders rethink their habits. (SOUNDBITE) (English) CIBC, HEAD OF FX STRATEGY, JEREMY STRETCH, SAYING: "Only when those political risks start to crystalise, do we potential see spending patterns and spending levels start to be undermined." It's a view shared by Swiss watchmakers... Who say luxury brands could be the victim of geopolitical risks in 2017. For now at least.. Shareholders should like what they see Stocks hit a record high on Tuesday. Since the start of the year - they've been up 17 percent.
