your good morning underpants post is sick and offensive. I guess you work for this company. Your comment policy has a...be nice...policy. I suggest you follow it and take this post down.
I really love your all instructables specially the romance pants was really special and helpful for me .
Wow this was a surprise. I've been doing a ton of instructables lately and guess what i stumbled upon yours (which are the best) and i'm like holy G this is my college roommate. I have some funky projects to work on.
I think this allows you to interface your cars "electronics".
If it does connect it to the arduinos RX and TX pins.... And then connect the arduino to the motor and just program it with some "if" commands, and actually that's a cool project, Its not stupid.
Use a "analog input" and a "while",
const int moisture = A0; //or what ever pin you want
//other code
void setup(){
pinMode(moisture, INPUT);
//other code
void loop(){
while(moisture < ????){
//pump HIGH code
while(moisture > ????){
//pump LOW code

Why do some of us think we are not worthy?
Why should we always or almost always feel second or not enough?
Closing Statement from Thaddea Thompson
I honestly think that it IS the enviroment we grow up in. which is why I at the age of sixteen am determined to find out and work on myself, so that my future children will know what a person self vindicated looks like then possibly want it for themselves. I AM NOT PERFECT. and I like that.
Neil Fiore
Feb 16 2013: As a clinical psychologist I see too many people whose sense of worth has been lowered by shame. From my non-research, clinical perspective, shame is a "lowering/yielding/head down" mammal brain survival reaction to inescapable attack from the pack or society. Accepting one's vulnerability is just acknowledging that "I am a mortal human and therefore vulnerable to loss, criticism from society, abandonment, death, and amazing feats of courage and joy." It's tremendously liberating to simply state: "So I'm not perfect. So What? I'm only human. But I'm still here and worthy of life."
- +4
There's no shame in admitting our human vulnerability and imperfection. Quit the opposite. The awareness of our mammal brain lowering reaction awakens us to hold our human heads up high and say, "Yes, I'm human and imperfect. I give myself worthiness. What's your point?" It's the denial of humanness and the attempt to be perfect and invulnerable that causes us pain and shame. I'd like to speak up for letting go of trying to be perfect and invulnerable and to compassionate embracing our human imperfection. How liberating and courageous!
Fritzie -
Feb 15 2013: Some people grow up and live in an environment that encourages them to believe they are forever inadequate or that they never live up to their potential. This feeling, then, might stay with them.
- +4
Some people believe they should always do their best but then don't. This then may produce a cascade of negative feelings about themselves.
But your question (before I read your elaboration) brought a different thought to my mind first. That is, many people believe that it is unfair to for outcomes to be based on luck rather than effort. A person might feel unworthy, then, of an opportunity if he sees it offered to him while a harder working and in his judgment more capable person is passed over.
Feb 18 2013: I think this is a fair answer.
I believe Ayn Rand has mentioned something about that feeling of guilt someone may feel if they've incurred some sort of 'injustice'... and by injustice I mean an unfairness; something not owed to them. People usually feel this whether the consequence is perceived as positive or negative, but an emotional reaction is dependent on the interpretation of course though.

When I was in high school, a girl at the restaurant I worked at said, "Lets all go to the school dance tonight after work!"
I said, "I don't know how to dance and I don't want people looking at me, making fun."
She then said, very bluntly, "What makes you think your so special? If people even have the courage to get out on the floor, they won't be looking at you! They'll all be worried about whether other people are looking at them. Lets go!"
That made sense to me!
So, we went, we bounced around to the music and we had a great time.
If we just try, and do things the best we can, a lot of people will think we're geniuses!
But sadly, many won't even try, out of unwarranted fear.
Feb 18 2013: That sounds like a very special girl.

Comment deleted
Feb 20 2013: As we grow we look for others to take care of us. Part of taking care of us includes validating and approving of us. We initially look to our parents and family and move on to peers, friends and spouses. We may work hard to please them to have them validate our worth.
But some of us have sought to get everyone's approval and drove ourselves nuts. Then we think, why am I doing this?
It takes a little soul searching and some growing up, but some of us figure out it is not what others think about us that is important. It is what we think of ourselves. If we think we are second, so will everyone else. Then we think, who really cares?
It is at that point, when you can let go of what other people think and say about you, that you find true validation and worth. It is not some lightning rod awakening, but it is an awakening none the less. Takes time and work and effort but it is well worth it (pun intended).
Gail .
Feb 16 2013: I grew up (and all that I know as well), being taught that I am unworthy. From childhood, we heard "Children are inferior to their elders". That was the central message that we heard in many different ways for at least 18 years. Then we reinforced that understanding by teaching it to our children.
- +1
I have many memories from early childhood (even infancy). I had an understanding of how the world works that would have benefited my world, but no one believed that I had anything important to say. What do you think that does to a child, who is totally dependent on those who don't even recognize her essential existence?
When I was 4.5, I started going to Sunday School. That was like the nail in the coffin. There, the hidden message was verbalized. "You are not perfect. You have sin in you. Your sin is so bad that someone had to suffer and die for you to save you from the hell that you are worthy of". No one told me what that sin was or how it got in me. I just knew that I was bad but I couldn't figure out why.
Take years and years of that kind of indoctrination, and never go on a voyage of discovery of self (who is the essential me - what is the essential me) and you have a person owned by his/her insecurities without even knowing it.
Feb 18 2013: Thanks for sharing this. :)Feb 16 2013: A lack of nurturing:
Barry Palmer
Feb 16 2013: In part, due to religion.
- +1
I grew up in the Catholic faith. We were taught that we are all sinners and as such we are all unworthy and must rely on God's infinite mercy.
In part, due to high expectations. We are all subject to a simple yet powerful paradox. We need high expectations, we must reach for the stars, to have a reasonable expectation of achieving our highest potential. Failing to achieve these high expectations leads to lower self esteem.
I recently heard, on the radio, about a study regarding lying. Among other things, it found that winning athletes were the ones that could convince themselves that they were the best. These same people scored high as liars. (I do not mean to imply that all winning athletes are liars and should not be trusted. I searched for this study but have not found it, so far.)
Life is difficult. There will never be some magic philosophy to guide us through life always feeling good about ourselves and our situation. Life is struggle, especially with regards to self worth, self knowledge, ethics and the esteem of others. The line between healthy self worth and unhealthy conceit will always be fuzzy and gray. Humility is sometimes a virtue, but not when bold leadership is necessary, Do your best and don't let it bog you down.
On the personal level, becoming aware of this problem is 90% of the solution. Once you are aware of the problem, you can choose to feel good about yourself. Not feeling good about yourself can be harmful, and it does no good for anyone.
Feb 16 2013: This is something I have wondered, but I have no personal experience with it. It is one thing to understand that no one is perfect, but this seems from the outside like a lot more negative message.
Barry Palmer
Feb 16 2013: At different times I have experienced a large part of the self-worth spectrum.
- +1
At one point I thought very highly of myself and my skills, and my over confidence lead to a failure that hurt a lot of people. IMO, people who think too positively are as dangerous as people who think too negatively. I think a balance is required, and that can be difficult.
I know that there are people of consistent achievement that never have a problem with this, and I envy them.
Feb 16 2013: I agree with you that seeing oneself in a balanced way is key. My worry is how it strikes small children to think of themselves as sinners.
But as I wrote, I have no personal experience with this.Feb 17 2013: I've not met people who didn't feel worthy, but if they do, I might think it's a lack of courage.Feb 17 2013: Maybe one could ask the question "What aspect of consciousness am I choosing to deny or ignore which is hurting my relationship to the SELF?"Feb 15 2013: Either we are or we aren't. Don't worry about it as life is not fair.

First post here. Just got my Miller mig after 20 years of waiting, and I've got to repair my little darlin'. Thought I'd ask here about it.
So, the bottom shackle on my rudder is apparently weathered and busted apart. I don't have the money to buy new parts, so I'm gonna weld her up myself. I'll be welding stainless, and as soon as I'm done with it she's going back in the water. What kind of gas/wire combo should I use in order to retain the best possible corrosion qualities for salt water immersion?
Thanks in advance!

Stainless repair on sailboat (underwater)
Hey pucket,
You really need to describe, with pics, the part to get good repair suggestions.
1) What is the power output of your welder?
2) What is the thickness of the repair part.....solid or hollow?
3) Is it steel or a casting?
Your weld area has to be clean & bare. Beveling if necessary to insure a good bond & strength. Wire could be 309/309L or 312 or possibly 316 for optimum corrosion resistance. Gas mix would probably work well with Ar/CO2 not more than 5% CO2. I use 98/2 generally with superb results. Member SundownIII has a lot of experience with boats & marine welding & I'm sure he will offer your best options for success..... give us as much info as possible.

Aargh. I won't know the exact nature of the repair until I pull her out of the water. And, unfortunately, I will have a limited amount of time to have the proper materials available and do the repair. Can't afford dry storage for more than a day or so. I apologize for being vague, but that's all I've got.
I do not think Yorkie caught that you were welding stainless, you need a trimix gas, helium, argon, co2. Other than that I cant tell you to much without knowing thickness and all of that.

I'm pretty sure yorkie caught the stainless thing, all the alloys he mentioned are stainless. The gas mixes he specified, are also commonly used for stainless.Obviously, I'm just a hack-artist, you shouldn't be listening to anything I say .....
Hey noboxus,
You apparently did not follow the order of my response as to suggested procedure. Quote: "I do not think"....... correct, you did not think. Quote: "you need a trimix gas"...... that is incorrect. There are very few applications that a tri-mix is needed or required..... a waste of money. Also, SS can be forged or cast just as carbon steel. The OP's indication that he is "welding stainless", also did not clarify if the part he is going to weld is stainless, or he was going to use a SS filler for the repair w/SS wire, thus his comment of "welding stainless" was not entirely clear.
To you & all others, especially the newbies/youngsters learning stainless, who really need to do some homework on gasses, here's the site that will enlighten you regarding gasses, fillers, & applications that are proven & work extremely well. The information from Ed Craig is from years of experience & the science of metal & metal fusion.

I don't know how the OP expects anyone to help with the information he's provided.
Shackle to me implies, most likely, a chain rudder stop. If that's the case, we're most likely talking cast.
I can't envision a situation where it's likely to be cost effective to buy the necessary materials to do the repair, than it would be to buy a new stainless shackle. West Marine has them, in various sizes, starting at around $11.Syncrowave 250 DX Tigrunner

Not sure where you shop for gas but I would find a new place if you pay more for argon than you pay for trimix. Wasnt saying you didnt think, said you may not of caught it was stainless, never seen anyone weld stainless, cast or otherwise with argon/co2 so thought you may not have. my post is correct, which you can look at here....http://www.millerwelds.com/pdf/mig_handbook.pdf
page 12 shows the gases that are to be used for stainless, and any other reputable site you find if you search, that ACTUALLY has someone with welding knowledge, I am sure will have the same info.
So my 2 cents is dont provide info if you really do not know what you are talking about and lead more people in the wrong direction as you have been.
Hey ubnoxus,
I can see you have taken my response as an insult.... it was not to be meant to be snide, callous, demeaning, or insulting. Your interpretation of a post is YOURS. You read & interpret in your manner & that is your justification for your response. Again, I did not say there was not a place for tri-mix or its' usage. My response to my usage of 98/2(Ar/CO2) w/SS was with cast iron welding & other repairs is documented here & other sites w/pics to enlighten others. My postings are from experience & years under the hood & I never give information that I do not have experience or knowledge.
I find Ed Craigs' website to be quite informative whether you like it or not. I didn't say that his site is the absolute..... I simply indicated it has superb information & a basis for most applications.
1) I'm 66.... been welding 47yrs w/SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, O/A, Plasma, & journeyman docs in machining(inc. CNC), tool & die, & production design. Now, that we have established experience levels, you need not have concerns where I learned & made a career in the welding arena. I also didn't indicate YOU are a newbie..... I posted Ed Craigs' site FOR the newbies/youngsters that will help them get a grasp on fillers/gasses...... nothing more, nothing less. Again, your interpretation of a response that it was directed towards you is not so.
2) If you have been welding longer than I have been alive.... you would be in your "80's???? Am I correct? Quite a preposterous response since you know nothing about me, isn't it?
3) There is quite a bit of information regarding welding cast iron w/MIG & 98/2 that I have used with 100% success. So, as you can see, hopefully, it is done by those who need to control the expansion/contraction of some castings to prevent/eliminate cracking. Again, I don't post any responses unless I can "show" the application & parameters that it was obtained. Even at my age & experience, I still learn & enjoy learning.
ubnoxus: I come to several of the welding forums to help the youngsters/newbies learn & attempt to provide them with information to make them better weldors & give them encouragement. You can look at my postings & projects I have submitted & then you can make your own evaluation of the information/experience I give to help. You are entitled to your opinion. I am not going to get into a verbal battle with you or anyone else..... I don't play childish games bantering with others or start a flaming war. There is no reason to ruin a forum with mindless diatribe that doesn't help anything/anyone.

At-Turaif district in ad-Dir'iyah
De citadel op at-Turaif – in het hart van het Arabische schiereiland ten noordwesten van Riyad – was de eerste hoofdstad van de Saoedische dynastie. De stad – gesticht in de 15e eeuw – getuigt van de architectonische stijl van de Najdi. In de 18e en begin van de 19e eeuw nam de politieke en religieuze rol van het eiland toe. De citadel werd het middelpunt van de wereldlijke macht van het Huis van Saoed en de Wahhabi-hervorming verspreidde zich binnen de islamitische religie. Het gebied omvat ook overblijfselen van paleizen en een stedelijk ensemble aan de rand van de ad-Dir'iyah oase.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The At-Turaif District in ad-Dir'iyah was the first capital of the Saudi Dynasty, in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula, north-west of Riyadh. Founded in the 15th century, it bears witness to the Najdi architectural style, which is specific to the centre of the Arabian Peninsula. In the 18th and the early 19th century, its regional political and religious role increased, and the citadel of at-Turaif became the centre of the temporal power of the House of Saud and the spread of the Islamic reform movement in Arabia, Wahhabism. The property includes the remains of many palaces and an urban ensemble built on the edge of the ad-Dir'iyah oasis.
Criterion (iv): The citadel of at-Turaif is representative of a diversified and fortified urban ensemble within an oasis. It comprises many palaces and is an outstanding example of the Najdi architectural and decorative style characteristic of the centre of the Arabian Peninsula. It bears witness to a building method that is well adapted to its environment, to the use of adobe in major palatial complexes, along with a remarkable sense of geometrical decoration.
Criterion (v): The site of at-Turaif District in ad-Dir'iyah illustrates a significant phase in the human settlement of the central Arabian plateau, when in the mid-18th century Ad-Dir'iyah became the capital of an independent Arab State and an important religious centre. At-Turaif District in Ad-Dir'iyah is an outstanding example of traditional human settlement in a desert environment.
Criterion (vi): The At-Turaif District was the first historic centre with a unifying power in the Arabian Peninsula. Its influence was greatly strengthened by the teachings of Sheikh Mohammad Bin Abdul Wahhab, a great reformer of Sunni Islam who lived, preached and died in the city. After his enduring alliance with the Saudi Dynasty, in the middle of the 18th century, it is from ad-Dir'iyah that the message of Wahhabism spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula and the Muslim world.
The property comprises the remains of a relatively comprehensive urban ensemble of which the vast majority of the components are still in place, although many buildings are in ruins. The initial planning is well preserved and can be clearly observed in its road network. The structural integrity of the property is thus acceptable. The property has not been subject to excessively aggressive modern development, as it was abandoned for a long time, and the integrity of the landscape appears to be satisfactory, although fragile.
The urban and architectural components of the property that have not been altered or reconstructed during 20th century reemployments or restorations are authentic. The buildings are generally in a state of ruins or vestiges. A major programme of restoration work is in place, which respects the original locations, plans and techniques. It must take particular care to preserve the attributes of the authenticity of its buildings and the road network. Vigilance must be ongoing and reinforced by a conservation programme which takes priority over other considerations.
Protection and management requirements
Since 1976, the property has been under the protection of the Antiquities Act 26M, 1392 (1972). This law protects the moveable and immoveable ancient heritage registered as "antiquity", a term that can apply to vestiges which are at least two-hundred years old. The Ministry of Education and the Council of Antiquities are responsible for enforcement of the law. This is strengthened by a police department under the responsibility of the governor. A new bill that systematically provides for a protection zone of 200 m around the boundaries of the property is pending approval.
A detailed global management plan of the property is being prepared by the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities (SCTA) and the designers of the Living Heritage Museum, the future management structure of the property. This should give priority to the organisation and monitoring of the conservation of the different historic components comprising the property. A scientific conservation committee must be established with broad powers to define, supervise and monitor the work programmes and projects for the property.
Historical Description
The presence of humans in the Wadi Hanifah area dates back some 80,000 years, as evidenced by Acheulean and Mousterian remains. Conditions were less favourable than in the Fertile Crescent; they initially attracted hunters and later nomads. Stone artefacts and rock carvings have been discovered in western Najd.
The remains of a village site with drystone walls thought to date from the 5th millennium BCE have been discovered just north of Riyadh. Agricultural settlement seems to have developed in the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE; the domestication of the camel dates from the same period.
In antiquity Arabia played a role as an active caravan trade-route between the Indian Ocean, the Fertile Crescent, and the Mediterranean; the Incense Route passed through Arabia. Settlements developed during the 1st millennium BCE. It seems that there was cultivation at the Wadi Hanifah, but direct archaeological evidence is still limited.
The end of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity caused a decline in the centres of trade and settlement in central Arabia. The areas of wells and former oases became places of refuge for the nomads and their flocks and herds. Central Arabia at this time was dominated by the Yemenite Himyarite tribes. In the 5th century CE the Christian Banu Hanifah tribe resumed the agricultural colonization of the heart of the peninsula, in the Tasm region. They submitted to Islam after their defeat in 634 at the hands of the army of the Caliph Ibn al-Walid.
In the 6th and 7th centuries, however, the Banu Hanifah tribe appears to have rebelled against the Umayyad Caliphate. They did not submit to the Abbasid central power there until the mid-9th century. From the 9th to the 10th century there was a slow process of agricultural development of the oases in the central region of Arabia. The Arab traveller Ibn Battuta recorded the presence of the Banu Hanifah tribe in the valley that bore their name In the 14th century. Population levels, however, stagnated or decreased in this period.
The 15th century brought more favourable climatic conditions, lending a new impetus to the oases and settlements with the arrival of newcomers from the coastal regions. Ad-Dir'iyah seems to have been created in this period and its development reached an initial apogee in the 16th century. It was a centre of trade and its power extended throughout the region. However, in the 17th century and at the start of the 18th century the pre-eminent town of the Najd was 'Uyanynah.
At the start of the 16th century the Sharif of Makkah (Mecca) recognized the Ottoman Caliphate, which was seeking to take control of the Arabian peninsula. This was a time of sharp confrontation with the West, as the Portuguese occupied sites in the Indian Ocean. The Sharif attacked the oases and nomads of the Najd for the first time in 1578.
The power of the Banu Hanifah families was gradually challenged by the secular development of the settlement of the oases of Inner Arabia. By the start of the 17th century there were only three oases left under their control, including ad-Dir'iyah. Two rival tribal groups then emerged and a power struggle developed between the Al Muqrin and the Al Watban. The organization of the oases reflected this antagonism, with separation within districts and villages. The Al Watban held control at ad- Dir'iyah initially, but in 1720 Saud Bin Mohammed from the rival Al Muqrin community assumed the chieftainship and drove his rivals out of the town, and in this way became the founder of the House of Saud.
In the 18th century successive imams (heads of the House of Saud) fortified the oasis along the high ground on either side of the Wadi Hanifah. This was a period marked by urban development and the construction of the citadel of at-Turaif.
Sheikh Mohammad Bin Abdul Wahhab, who hailed from the Najd where a form of paganism was maintained in social life, advocated a Reform based on the Sunnah, the orthodox Muslim tradition. The oneness of God, the impossibility of comparing God with anything else, and the heresy of any mediation were reasserted. This religious movement was fully recognized by the second imam, Mohammed Bin Saud, who established it in 1745 as the moral and legal basis of his state. Ad-Dir'iyah then became the centre for propagating the Reform. The town was an important educational centre, with many Qur'anic schools drawing students from the whole of the peninsula.
The Saudi dynasty at the same time undertook the conquest of the other towns and oases of the Najd, which it completely controlled by 1785. In the 1790s it dominated the east of the Arabian peninsula, and its influence extended to the west as far as the foothills of the Hijaz mountains.
In the second half of the 18th century and at the start of the 19th century, ad-Dir'iyah was the headquarters of a powerful Islamic administration, which boasted renowned judges and imams. Delegations and interest groups came to petition the Imam. It had some thirty Qur'anic schools, and it was also the political and military centre of the power of the House of Saud. At its apogee the army could assemble up to 100,000 men. The urban ensemble linked with the oasis was developed, particularly the Salwa palaces in the citadel of at-Turaif, the heart of the power base. However, according to Western travellers the population of ad- Dir'iyah did not exceed 13,000 at the start of the 19th century.
The success of the Sunnah Reform and the expanding military power of the House of Saud was inevitably a cause of concern for the Ottoman Caliphate. Tensions and confrontations were frequent over a period of some thirty years. The House of Saud initially emerged triumphant, imposing its influence on Central Hijaz and Mecca (1803) and thus controlling the pilgrimage. This was the apogee of the first dynasty of the House of Saud.
The Ottoman counter-offensive was organized from Egypt. The Ottomans reconquered the Hijaz (1813) and then began a campaign in the heart of the Arabian peninsula. Ibrahim Pasha invaded the Najd at the head of a powerful and cosmopolitan army (1816-18). The campaign culminated in the siege and conquest of ad- Dir'iyah. The town was then sacked on two occasions, in 1818-19 and in 1821. The House of Saud and the Wahhabis were subjected to repression.
The Imam Turki re-established the power of the House of Saud in 1824, forcing the departure of the Ottomans He founded a second dynasty and chose Riyadh as the new capital. The previous seat of power in the at-Turaif district, largely in ruins following the war, was abandoned. The few western visitors in the mid-19th century testified to a town in ruins. The local population returned to live in the oasis, where farming activities continued.
At-Turaif remained abandoned until the mid-20th century, when some two hundred families moved back into the eastern quarter near the oasis, building houses of mud brick (adobe) on the remains of the old town.
The Department of Antiquities bought the whole site in 1982 and expropriated its inhabitants. The city of Riyadh has grown considerably and now reaches the gates of the ad-Dir'iyah oasis. The region has also seen the development of road infrastructures. Today there are three main urban sectors in Ad-Dir'iyah. Urban development is taking place almost entirely outside the buffer zone.Source: Advisory Body Evaluation

Manufacturer Provided Description
The McKinna 65 Pilothouse is the winning result of the collaborative effort between designer J.C. Espinosa and naval architect Howard Apollonio. Rounded curves and flowing lines rise up from the bow and create a very powerful profile, emphasized by the deep pilothouse windows that give the design a sense of authority. The McKinna 65 is a masterpiece in styling and performance. From state-of-the-art construction to a fuel efficient hull configuration, from advanced onboard systems to an unmatched approach in interior design, the 65 sets a higher standard for midsize yachts. The exterior of the McKinna 65 is both stylish and functional. Wide side decks allow for safe access from the spacious aft deck to the sunning area on the foredeck. The flybridge features fully adjustable Stidd helm seats plus ample seating for guests. A bridge-mounted stainless steel hydraulic davit easily handles the RIB tender. The cockpit, featuring a wetbar and barbecue grill, has space for entertaining and dining. Interior accommodations take full advantage of the wide beam and extra space. Soft leather sofas and rich handcrafted woodwork surround a 42-inch plasma television that rises from a lift in the starboard cabinet. Forward is a gourmet galley, large dining area, and pilothouse with a double Stidd helm seat for more companionable cruising. Twin pillars wrapped in beautiful burl wood frame the master bed in the owner's suite. Adjacent is a walk-in closet and opposite is a large head accessed by double sliding doors. This head has a bathtub, and beautiful marble countertops with his and hers Avonite sinks. Each stateroom has its own private head.

In the European Union, enlargement, special arrangements for the expansion of the Schengen Area, and the gradual development of a stronger EU role in immigration have added new complexity to the policy landscape, leading to both new patterns of movement and new policies for governing immigration from outside of the European Union's 28 Member States. The research offered here focuses on migration policies, trends, and common challenges that affect Europe at a supranational level—from free movement to asylum policy and the management of EU borders.
As the European Union seeks to implement a Common European Asylum System, these publications and multimedia resources from MPI and MPI Europe examine asylum policy and humanitarian flows to Europe and elsewhere around the world.
Louka T. Katseli of the OECD Development Centre explains why effective migration policies in Europe are as much a political as a technical issue.
Lisa Kurbiel of the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations takes an in-depth look at new initiatives to stop child trafficking in the European Union.
Martin Baldwin-Edwards of Panteion University examines new trends in the long-established phenomenon of migration within the Mediterranean basin.
Joanne van Selm and Eleni Tsokalis of MPI look at the challenges ahead as 10 new states join the European Union.
Countries in the European Union received fewer asylum applications in 2003, according to Veysel Oezcan of the Social Science Research Center Berlin.

To establish better quality indoor air in the building after construction and during occupancy.
Select one of the following two options, to be implemented after construction ends and the building has been completely cleaned. All interior finishes, such as millwork, doors, paint, carpet, acoustic tiles, and movable furnishings (e.g., workstations, partitions), must be installed, and major VOC punch list items must be finished. The options cannot be combined.
Option 1. Flush-out (1 point)
Path 1. Before occupancy
Install new filtration media and perform a building flush-out by supplying a total air volume of 14,000 cubic feet of outdoor air per square foot (4 267 140 liters of outdoor air per square meter) of gross floor area while maintaining an internal temperature of at least 60°F (15°C) and no higher than 80°F (27°C) and relative humidity no higher than 60%.
Path 2. During occupancy
If occupancy is desired before the flush-out is completed, the space may be occupied only after delivery of a minimum of 3,500 cubic feet of outdoor air per square foot (1 066 260 liters of outdoor air per square meter) of gross floor area while maintaining an internal temperature of at least 60°F (15°C) and no higher than 80°F (27°C) and relative humidity no higher than 60%.
Once the space is occupied, it must be ventilated at a minimum rate of 0.30 cubic foot per minute (cfm) per square foot of outdoor air (1.5 liters per second per square meter of outdoor air) or the design minimum outdoor air rate determined in EQ Prerequisite Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance, whichever is greater. During each day of the flush-out period, ventilation must begin at least three hours before occupancy and continue during occupancy. These conditions must be maintained until a total of 14,000 cubic feet per square foot of outdoor air (4 270 liters of outdoor air per square meter) has been delivered to the space.
Option 2. Air testing (2 points)
After construction ends and before occupancy, but under ventilation conditions typical for occupancy, conduct baseline IAQ testing using protocols consistent with the methods listed in Table 1 for all occupied spaces. Use current versions of ASTM standard methods, EPA compendium methods, or ISO methods, as indicated. Laboratories that conduct the tests for chemical analysis of formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds must be accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 for the test methods they use. Retail projects may conduct the testing within 14 days of occupancy.
Demonstrate that contaminants do not exceed the concentration levels listed in Table 1.
Table 1. Maximum concentration levels, by contaminant and testing method
|Maximum concentration
|Maximum concentration (Healthcare only)
|ASTM and U.S. EPA methods
|ISO method
|27 ppb
|16.3 ppb
|ASTM D5197; EPA TO-11 or EPA Compendium Method IP-6
|Particulates (PM10 for all buildings; PM2.5 for buildings in EPA nonattainment areas, or local equivalent)
|PM10: 50 micrograms per cubic meter
PM2.5: 15 micrograms per cubic meter
|20 micrograms per cubic meter
|EPA Compendium Method IP-10
|Ozone (for buildings in EPA nonattainment areas)
|0.075 ppm
|0.075 ppm
|Total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs)
|500 micrograms per cubic meter
|200 micrograms per cubic meter
|EPA TO-1, TO-15, TO-17, or EPA Compendium Method IP-1
|Target chemicals listed in CDPH Standard Method v1.1, Table 4-1, except formaldehyde
|CDPH Standard Method v1.1–2010, Allowable Concentrations, Table 4-1
|CDPH Standard Method v1.1–2010, Allowable Concentrations, Table 4-1
|ASTM D5197; EPA TO-1, TO-15, TO-17, or EPA Compendium Method IP-1
|Carbon monoxide (CO)
|9 ppm; no more than 2 ppm above outdoor levels
|9 ppm; no more than 2 ppm above outdoor levels
|EPA Compendium Method IP-3
ppb = parts per billion; ppm = parts per million; μg/cm = micrograms per cubic meter
Conduct all measurements before occupancy but during normal occupied hours, with the building ventilation system started at the normal daily start time and operated at the minimum outdoor airflow rate for the occupied mode throughout the test.
For each sampling point where the concentration exceeds the limit, take corrective action and retest for the noncompliant contaminants at the same sampling points. Repeat until all requirements are met.

GROUP these six moves into two mini-workouts: Workout A (pull-up, squat, military press) and Workout B (bench press, farmer's walk, deadlift).
EACH WEEK you'll want to work out three times in all, alternating between the A and B regimens, with at least a day's rest in between. For example, if you do Workout A on Monday and Friday and Workout B on Wednesday one week, the following week you'll do Workout B on Monday and Friday and Workout A on Wednesday.
BEFORE the first set of each exercise, warm up with a few reps using a light weight. Then start with the bar (most weigh around 45 pounds) and add or subtract 5 to 10 pounds at a time until you determine a load heavy enough that you're able to perform the minimum prescribed repetitions—and no more.
ONCE you've found that weight, use it every week until you can reach the higher end of the rep range of each exercise, then add five pounds and repeat the process.
The Fastest Way to Get Ripped
What do you need to sculpt a body like this? Six simple but effective muscle-building, fat-burning moves.
Blame steroids. Or cut-off tees. Or The Situation. Whatever, or whoever, the culprit is, the weight room has fallen out of vogue, replaced by supposedly more sophisticated body-sculpting methods. And while spinning classes, boot camps, and yoga deserve to be front and center in the minds of educated fitness buffs, if you want to get in the best shape of your life, experts say, you can't ignore the basics. You need to add six classic total-body exercises to your weekly regimen—the pull-up, bench press, squat, farmer's walk, military press, and deadlift.
"These six are beneficial because they involve functional movements you use in everyday life and they work multiple muscles at once," says Melanie Piccolo, a private trainer at Reebok Sports Club/NY. But just because you know the moves doesn't mean you know how to get the most out of them.
"You can't just saunter into the gym, pick up a few weights, and expect to morph into Ryan Gosling," says Jason Ferruggia, a strength coach and the author of Muscle Gaining Secrets, who designed this plan. But do them right and there's a big payoff. "When you perform these moves with a heavy weight, you gain strength and add muscle everywhere," Ferruggia says. That new muscle, in turn, increases your resting metabolism rate, the key to getting rid of stubborn fat and revealing muscle tone—just promise to keep your shirt on in the bar.
BENCH PRESS (Workout B)
Targets: Pecs, delts, triceps
Lie face-up on a bench with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Grab the bar with a slightly wider than shoulder-width overhand grip and lower it to your chest, keeping your elbows in close to your sides and shoulder blades tightly squeezed. Press the bar up in a straight line. That's one rep. Do 3 sets of 6 to 10 reps, resting 60 seconds between sets.

With so many video games on the horizon, it's sometimes difficult to know which to pay attention to when it comes time to buy. Let's take a look at some of the most intriguing video games scheduled to release this year.
"Evolve" is an asymmetric first-person shooter game — that is, it pits four players against one. While the four teammates take on the roles of a medic, an assault character, a trapper and a support character, the lone player takes on the role of one of a variety of monsters. The four characters must work together to hunt the monster before it feeds on enough wildlife to gain power and become the hunter. Players will be able pick "Evolve" up Feb. 10.
"The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D"
Similar to "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D" released in 2011, "Majora's Mask 3D" takes the original Nintendo 64 game and updates the gameplay and graphics to look and feel more modern. If you haven't played this game before, it's a must. If you've played the original, then your feelings of nostalgia should already have you running off to preorder it for its Feb. 13 release on the Nintendo 3DS.
"The Order: 1866"
The Order takes place in an alternate history version of Victorian-era London where monsters are kept at bay by an order of knights. You'll be able to take the role of one of these knights in this steampunk-esque single player game Feb. 20 on PlayStation 4.
"Ori and the Blind Forest"
This stunningly beautiful platform adventure game follows Ori, a guardian spirit, as he traverses a dying forest, unlocking abilities and trying to avoid what dark beings lurk about. "Ori and the Blind Forest" will release March 11 for Xbox One and PC.
"Battlefield Hardline"
This iteration of the "Battlefield" series switches things up a bit —turning away from the foreign war zones to take the battle to the city. This cops vs. robbers style game pits militarized police against criminals with equally as deadly weapons. Players can take part in a variety of game modes — either as a criminal robbing an armored truck, or as a cop trying to steal the money back. Gamers can choose their side on both of Microsoft's and Sony's consoles as well as PC March 17.
"Mario Party 10"
Prepare to hate your best friends more than ever — especially one of them. The first "Mario Party" game for Wii U takes advantage of the system's GamePad controller to create a gamemode allowing one player to controller Bowser, trying to catch up to the other players and defeat them before they reach the end. It also appears the four other characters will travel across the board together, a mechanic which was introduced in "Mario Party 9." Get ready to yell at your friends March 20.
"Grand Theft Auto V"
Why yes, this game has come out before. Twice, in fact. But it's finally getting a release on PC with a few new features, including support for 4K TVs and the ability to create videos with a new replay feature. What I'm most excited about, however, is the potential for game-changing player-made mods.
"Mortal Kombat X"
The brutal fighting game is back for its first iteration on the new generation of consoles. This release offers three variations of each playable character for you to fight with, but will of course also feature the classic combat it's known for, as well as the return of interactive environments. Tear your friend's head off April 14 on both of Sony's and Microsoft's consoles as well as PC.
"The Witcher 3: Wild hunt"
From what I've seen so far this game looks amazing. It's an open-world role-playing game and the developers promise the world will be even larger than "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim," a massive game itself. Clear off your calendar for May 19, because you'll probably be sitting at your PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC for a while to complete this likely game of the year contender.
This adorable shooting game from Nintendo takes shooters in a wacky new direction. Players shoot colored ink at each other and around the map, trying to cover the arena in their team's ink. Here's the catch, though, the players can turn into squids to quickly swim through their team color's ink. Using this, players can pop up behind enemy lines and turn the battle around. "Splatoon" is scheduled to release on the Wii U in May.
"Just Cause 3"
I still never have figured out whether this games title comes from having just cause to do something (like kill a person with a grappling hook), or doing something just 'cause you feel like it (like grappling onto a car then deploying a parachute to travel faster). It's probably both, really. Whatever it is, this game promises the same craziness as its great predecessor, but with more verticality within the environment. Prepare to cause mayhem this June on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
"Assassin's Creed Victory"
Not much is known about the next entry into the "Assassin's Creed" universe, not even the name. "Victory" may be the game's title, or it may just be the codename the developers have given the game. What we do know is that the game will be set in Victorian London and it is planned to release in fall 2015.
"Halo 5: Guardians"
We're really getting into the realm of the unknown as we take a look at games likely to release later in the year. "Halo 5: Guardians" will be Halo's first new game on the Xbox One, and while we know a good amount about the multiplayer portion of the game due to a beta which ended last month, questions still remain regarding the direction the campaign will take. The game looks good so far and I suspect it will be a success as long as it can avoid the launch pitfalls of 2014's "Halo: The Master Chief Colection."
"Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain"
Set during the Vietnam War, the player takes control of Venom Snake as he tries to get revenge for events in "Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes." The game is set in a variety of open-world environments, allowing the player to roam about, free to complete objectives in a variety of ways. Players can play this 2015 release on both of Microsoft's and Sony's consoles as well as PC.
"No Man's Sky"
Explore a procedurally generated universe as you attempt to find the center of the galaxy by visiting different planets. Players can walk the surface of these planets and share what they've discovered with other players. "No Man's Sky" will first release on PlayStation 4 sometime in 2015 then later come to PC.
"Homefront: The Revolution"
Set four years after the original "Homefront," the player leads a revolution to fight back against a reunified Korea which has attacked America. "The Revolution" takes place in Philadelphia, where Korea has placed their base of operations. Players have the freedom to choose how they take back America this year, as the game is planned to release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Windows, Mac and Linux.
"Star Wars: Battlefront"
Not much is known about this game, only that it will be a reboot of the "Battlefront" series, and will release this fall for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. If it's anything like the original "Battlefront," though, expect something great.
"The Legend of Zelda"
Explore Hyrule in newfound beauty with The Legend of Zelda's first HD game (not including remakes). This also returns Link to an open-world environment, allowing him to traverse the world freely as opposed to being on a set path. Look forward to saving Princess Zelda on the Wii U sometime in 2015.
"Uncharted 4: A Thief's End"
A sequel to the hit "Uncharted" series, not much is known about the gameplay changes this game will bring to the table, but this being the first Uncharted on PlayStation 4 it's bound to be great. Get prepared to go fortune-hunting one more time as Nathan Drake sometime this year.
"Tom Clancy's The Division"
You're America's last line of defense against a deadly disease which has all but wiped out the US government. Explore and save New York City with your friends in this co-operative centric game on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC this year.
Obviously there are many other games coming out this year, and it would be impossible to list all of the ones worthy of mention, so sound off below and tell me what games you're looking forward to this year!

11:11 p.m.: A tribute concert to George Jones would not be complete without "He Stopped Loving Her Today." Alan Jackson does the honors.
Then he invites Nancy Jones on stage and invites the audience to sing along.
"This is the greatest country song by the greatest country singer, Mr. George Jones," Jackson says, as he again launches into the chorus of "He Stopped Loving Her Today."
"Thank you all so much," he says, "George, we love you."
Leaving the stage, his arm around Nancy Jones' waist, Jackson stops to set the rocking chair on stage in motion. As the chair meant for Jones rocks slowly back and forth, the crowd claps and cheers begging for more.
But it is, indeed, the end.
George Jones' tribute is complete, after almost four hours.
The audience has made it clear that, like his chair, it truly rocked.
11:09 p.m.: Stacy McCloud returns to the stage and invites the audience to recognize Nancy Jones.
"Everybody put your hands together, and let her feel that love," McCloud says. "Ladies and gentlemen, George Jones' better half, Nancy Jones. We love you."
11 p.m.: We are nearing the end. Next up is George Strait. He sings one song – "Grand Tour" – by himself before being joined by Martina McBride for a duet of "Golden Ring."
10:54 p.m.: Now on stage, Vince Gill says the hardest thing he ever had to do was sing "Go Rest High on That Mountain" at Jones' funeral.
Tonight he sings tribute again to Jones, this time in a black T-shirt that says "Sweet Pea."
"That's what he always called me," Gill says. "I didn't know why. I didn't know if it was good or bad, but I didn't care because I loved that old man."
Gill's rendition of "Bartender's Blues" brings the house to its feet in a standing ovation.
