Nobel Foundation Adopts MATLAB to Assess Portfolio Risk Exposure and Meet Long-Term Laureate Prize Goals
Organization will use models for 30-year risk scenarios and asset returns
Natick, Mass. - (13 Jan 2014)
MathWorks today announced that The Nobel Foundation has adopted MATLAB to support the asset-liability management strategies of its $500 million (3.3 billion kronor) portfolio and meet its long-term goal of providing monetary awards to future Laureates.
Through the use of MATLAB, The Nobel Foundation will build and implement a risk scenario and asset return simulation engine for its fund, likely targeting a 30-year outlook and potentially increasing to 100 years as the model architecture develops. The Nobel Foundation wants a clear perspective on its long-term cash flows and risk sensitivities, helping define solvency-oriented countermeasure actions in the case of unexpected tail events like the banking collapses of 2008.
"The Nobel Foundation wants to know how its assets will perform over time, so we can pay out to support the awards while giving visibility around costs," said Gustav Karner, chief investment officer at The Nobel Foundation. "Our costs are relatively fixed, but we were unsure how our asset portfolio – equities, property, hedge fund investments, and fixed income – will evolve over time. We will use MATLAB to help us understand the risks our portfolio faces and build a flexible simulation engine for medium and long-term asset performance projections."
The Nobel Foundation's models built using MATLAB will use Monte Carlo simulation methods to analyze, model and project estimated asset returns, key correlations, and standard deviations, with particular focus on the 2.5% worst- and best-case performance scenarios. The foundation's fund targets 3.5% returns plus inflation for the aggregated portfolio in the medium term, but benchmarking and assessing returns performance vary by asset class and time horizon.
"We are excited that The Nobel Foundation has chosen MATLAB to help with its long-term financial planning goals," said Steve Wilcockson, financial services industry manager, MathWorks. "Our mission at MathWorks is to accelerate the pace of engineering and science. The Nobel Foundation directly supports that mission with The Nobel Prize being the ultimate recognition for innovators in these fields. We are honored to be associated with this world renowned organization."

Moisture Defense Antioxidant Moisturizer SPF 20 is a multi-benefit moisturizer with sunscreen and age defense in one.
Essential hydration combines with potent antioxidants, soothing plant extracts and broad-spectrum SPF 20 for comprehensive protection against future skin aging and damage. The lightweight texture is great for oily and combination skin types and is ideal for those who want moisture and protection without the heavy greasy feel of traditional sun protectors.
Age defense is delivered through the power of four synergistic antioxidants that provide protection against free radical damage caused by UV rays, pollution, stress and other environmental factors. This antioxidant combination includes Vitamin E, Vitamin C in a new, powerful oil-soluble form (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate), Superoxide Dismutase and Green Tea. They work together in a synergistic "recycling" effect that maximizes each antioxidant's overall benefit, and also goes through both oil-soluble and water-soluble pathways of the skin for greater penetration.
I love this product! I just received it the other day and its wonderful. Feels great and the texture is just perfect. Not to greasy and lightweight. Does not feel like I have a SPF on.
In theory, this product has everything I need for the AM--SPF, antioxidant/skin protection, and moisture. However, this MD Formulations moisturizer is very watery, dries my skin out, and requires a large amount to cover my face and neck. The twist-off-top and tube packaging just wastes more (runny) product since it leaks into the cap when closed. At $36 for 1.7 oz. of a product that does not work and seems diluted, it's a complete waste. I wish I knew this before I bought it and would never repurchase--just wish delayed shipping didn't put me beyond the 30-day return period for SkinStore. As a side note, MD Formulations is made by Bare Escentuals, the same company that makes the ubiquious Bare Minerals.
living in the pacific NW, I don't typically wear sunsreen on a daily basis...although I know I should. I find most moisturizing sunscreens greasy with a white residue that eventually turns into little particles and rubs of my face..This product is light-weight, doesn't rub off and feels amazing on my skin. Now that I found one I love, I will be using on a daily basis. I highly recommend this product
Apply a dime size amount to the face and neck in the morning, alone or over the appropriate treatment product.
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.
There are no restrictions on the delivery of this item - you may elect to have this item sent Next Day, 2 Day, or through our standard delivery method.

The hotel enjoys a modern interior design with free wifi in the reception area and free internet (unfortunately only with cable) in the room. The swimming pool (15m long, 7m wide) lies in the sun and offers a partial view of the sea. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Mario, the receptionist quickly arranged reservations at the best clubs, recommended bars and restaurants, as well as other hot tips. Bus tickets (about 12 Kuna) can be bought at the reception. Taxi to the airport costs about 230 kuna.
The breakfast buffet is extensive, with fruits, cereals, rolls, puff pastry, scrambled eggs, sausages, hams & cheese etc. Freshly squeezed orange juice must be ordered separately. A la carte food is delicious. I recommend the octopus salad, Pag cheese (in Croatian, Paški sir, a specialty), the red seafood risotto, spaghetti with seafood or a fresh fish.
The gravel beach is across the street (you just go through the Hotel Vis). Sandy beaches are scarce in Dubrovnik city, but the water is crystal clear. The Lapad Bay is good for swimming and if you want to enjoy the sunset on the beach you can go to the other side of the bay. At the beach you can rent pedal boats, jet skis,etc. There is also a large floating water castle for children to climb. Approx. 10-minute walk from the hotel is the dive center Blue Planet (http://www.blueplanet-diving.com/de/) and a bar with a great view of the sunset (Hotel Dubrovnik Palace). Bus ride into the center takes 15 minutes.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- This modern 4 star hotel is located in Lapad Bay, a quiet area dominated by the clear blue sea and shady green pine forrests, only a short bus ride from the Old town.

2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class CLS550 4dr Sedan (5.5L 8cyl 7A)
Have only had it 2 weeks but I am smitten.
Muscular agressive stance.
Swooping lines make the car look like its going fast even when its
standing still.
Start the engine and hear / feel the 400 hp wanting to lurch forward.
Superb performance all round.
Throttle, steering and brakes are so finely tuned you can pick any point on the road and PUT the car right where you want it.
Technology is highly advanced, and much easier to use than BMW's "iDrive".
It handles much better than a BMW 5 series and the sound proofing is much better as well.
My wife rode in the back seat of the BMW 5 series and this Benz was hands down the more comfy quiet ride.
Takes a lot of restraint to keep the car within the speed limit.
At 100 MPH the car feels like it wants a lot more.
That's all I have to say on that subject.
I look for reasons to take the car out.
Conversation frequently heard at our house:
Me: "I think we might be low on milk...".
My Wife: "This is the third time today you have been to the grocery store..."
I don't use the ash tray (no smoking, drinks or food in this car) but the ash tray door sticks a bit.
Dealer can't seem to work out the kink.
Not a big deal,if this is the only thing that I think can use improvement it's a Great Car!
Not a suggestion for improvement but rather a note to those who may not know: This is a 4 door coupe and real drivers car.
Not a soccer mom SUV so don't expect a cushy mushy feel or creature comforts like the back up camera display on the dash or DVD screen for back seat passengers.
The joy of this car is the driving experience.
Passengers will love being in the car as well.
2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class CLS63 AMG 4dr Sedan (6.2L 8cyl 7A)
I traded my almost new 2006 Porsche 911S for my new CLS 63 AMG for THREE reasons; 1. My kids were getting too big for the back seats in the Porsche! 2. The CLS 63 AMG is MUCH quicker than the Porsche! 3. My CLS is a much nicer daily driver than my Porsche -- and it's still a head-turner, especially in black!
My wife got me a birthday gift to go to the Richard Petty driving experience, where I got to drive a Stock Car on a super-speedway! (Great wife, right!) Well, the only way I can describe driving the CLS 63 AMG at full tilt, and roar (it roars!), is to say it's like driving a stock car! SICK POWER!
Well, the 2008 model has 507hp, and the 2009 now has 517hp, so that's a bit of a rub, as a 2008 owner! I also killed the tires by 10,000 miles! I've had a few minor electrical problems, fixed ASAP by the dealer! Oh, rub the curb, and the rims are toast; couldn't they make the tires stick out more?
This car was everything I had hoped it to be. Very luxurious interior and exterior styling to die for. I have never had a car that drew so many positive comments. Women seem to love the styling. Performance for such a heavy car is amazing and really does push you back in your seat. Gas mileage although not great is more than acceptable and I hit 27 mpg on the highway --not bad. Handling is good but would like to have had an AMG handling package as an option and a AMG exhaust which has an unbelievable sound. Only had one problem and that was the rear air suspension had to be replaced. Hopefully this is not a potential issue for this car. Overall I love this car.
Power,comfort, sound system, looks
Longer list of AMG options.
I purchased a silver 2008 CLS 550 w/ AMG sport package. The vehicle is excellent and is worth every penny of its 81k sticker price. I was first skeptical buying a MB over a BMW, but this vehicle has made me a "Benz Believer". 382 HP, heated and cooled seats, IPOD integration, Navigation, bluetooth, AMG appearance package, remote trunk, moonroof, leather w/ wood grain, sirius radio w/ 6 disc CD keyless go and much more. For those who want more HP opt for the CLS 63 AMG which has 507HP, but a sticker of 100k. The 5.5L V8 has plenty of HP power and torque. The CLS 550 is MB engineering and performance at its best. The vehicle takes a back seat to no BMW and is exciting to drive.
Performance, build quality, MB engineering, satellite radio, luxurious interior, AMG appearance and MPG for a V8 engine.
Bluetooth should be standard on this vehicle with a 81k sticker price. MB makes you purchase the adaptor for 500 dollars to connect the bluetooth pairing phones.
I bought an CLS 550 at the end of March 09. In bought it at the Mercedes Benz of Annapolis Maryland, Great dealership. My wife and I drove it home to Chicago. It was the best driving experience I have ever had. I love everything about this car, the styling, comfort, sound system and the gas mileage was 19/27 great!!! This is my first Mercedes and won't be my last.
My favorite would be "It's a Mercedes" but the styling, comfort, sound system, a real head turner and drives like a dream.
Nothing on improvements but I hope I am worrying about nothing but it's the reliability. I am hoping Mercedes is back to where is was in previous year and by driving it back to Chicago I think they are!!!

- calorific value;

- moisture content;
- municipal solid waste
Solid waste management was one of the most significant environmental issues encountered in developing countries. Quantity of produced waste as well as its composition was known to vary by general consumption patterns that were affected by socio-economic status, household size, or even by seasons. Due to the dynamic nature of waste quantity and composition, the handling and disposal of waste in an economically and environmentally feasible way presented itself as a challenge. Therefore, in order to conduct a successful decision-making process to determine the feasible and sustainable processes in the disposal of waste, priority should be given to the statement of the problem at hand. The aim of this study is to achieve a characterization of municipal solid waste of Istanbul, Turkey. Waste samples were collected from the transfer stations servicing certain zones of the city and consequently substance group, moisture content and calorific value analyses were performed over these samples. Results indicated that approximately 54% of the municipal solid waste composition was of organic nature. The paper/cardboard group was coming next in ranking with a proportion of 15.57%. Average moisture content of samples was calculated to be 62.41% and 1435 kcal kg−1 was calculated to represent the average calorific value. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 32: 734–739, 2013

Northanger Abbey: satire and suggestibility - Val McDermid
This week, Val McDermid joins The Austen Project with her modern re-imagining of Jane Austen's gothic classic Northanger Abbey....
The first time I read Northanger Abbey I was an undergraduate at Oxford studying the early development of the English novel. I was seventeen – the same age as Northanger Abbey's young heroine Catherine Morland, though naturally I considered myself far more mature and worldly than she is. And I remember two major things about that. Firstly I felt some impatience with Austen's position that a woman needed to define herself in terms of her relationship to a man. And the second thing was that I utterly understood that you could, like Catherine, lose yourself so thoroughly in a book that it assumed a heightened reality that was much more interesting than life itself. In fact I spent my teens doing the very same thing, injecting myself into the plots of novels I was reading, because my own daily grind was infinitely duller by comparison. In that respect, I totally got Catherine Morland.
It is probably the least conventional of Jane Austen's six published novels – and that suited me well since I'm not what you'd call a conventional romantic novelist! It's also the least well known, which always surprises me because in some respects, it's much closer to the novels we read now than Jane Austen's other works. Like the other five, it has at its heart a love story shaped by the conventions of the time. But unlike them, it goes beyond that to take a shrewd and unsparing look at the role fiction plays in our lives.
John Thorpe could walk into a job on Top Gear
Northanger Abbey is the novel where Austen tells us what she really thinks about her fellow fiction writers, with all of the wit she had in her arsenal. She takes sideswipes at those who claim fiction is a waste of time. She upbraids other authors for not standing up for themselves and giving their heroines only "improving" books to read and not "frivolous" novels. She points the finger at critics who despise the works that give pleasure to so many readers. It's a Regency rant that wouldn't be out of place in a twenty-first century blog – sharp and sarcastic; she skewers those who have no time for novels or their creators.
But that doesn't mean she's blind to the deficiencies of some novelists. And in this book she seizes the chance to poke fun at a whole sub-genre of her contemporaries – the gothic horror novel. At its heart, Northanger Abbey is a satire that takes apart the conventions of the gothic horror stories and exposes their ridiculous characters, their improbable narratives and their failure to reflect the lives of their readers in any significant particular. Austen has no patience for the suggestible readers who see the novel as any kind of blueprint for living. And this is where I had my fun.
It's Austen's sideways look at the effects of the stories we become obsessed with that makes Northanger Abbey the funniest of Austen's sly social comedies - human nature remains the same. We all know people who live their lives convinced the zombie apocalypse is just round the corner or who place the same faith in Bridget Jones and her fellow heroines as the young protagonist, Catherine Morland, places in the reality of the horror novels she loves. And with equally unfortunate emotional consequences. The satire bites as hard now as it did at the time of writing.
Reading it now, as the mother of a teenager and the author of more than thirty books, a new Northanger Abbey emerges from Austen's pages. And that is a novel whose characters are perennial, as true to life now as they were then. We all know empty-headed shopaholic Mrs Allen; the flirtatious Isabella with an eye always on the main chance; the mother who, like Mrs Thorpe, is blind to the flaws of her own fallible offspring; the arrogant jack the lad like Captain Tilney who loves them and leaves them; the brash John Thorpe who could walk into a job on Top Gear; and above all, the sweet-natured Catherine Morland who sees the best in everyone except when she's led astray by the power of her imagination.
One of the strengths of Jane Austen's work is that when we reread her, she rewards the different sensibilities of our age. We find a fresh understanding of the novels because our experience of life is wider and deeper. Austen's skill is to provide new readings of her work that chime with our greater understanding of people's dreams and fears.
And it's that Northanger Abbey that underpins whatever vision of the book we take away with us. What makes Jane Austen as relevant today as when she was scribbling quietly in a corner of the drawing room is that she understood what makes people tick. More than that, she found a way to tell us in continually developing ways. Austen truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- When Dallas has taken on Oklahoma City this year, the Mavericks haven't looked like a team fighting to reach .500. In the two previous matchups, the Mavericks lost both, but the Thunder had to go into overtime each time. However, the Mavs reverted back to form of sorts Monday in the teams' third meeting. The Thunder dominated from the opening tap and rolled to a 112-91 victory at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook led all scorers with 24 points and added seven assists and three steals. Kevin Durant scored 19 points on 6-for-11 shooting, and he pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds. Durant's scoring average against the Mavs this year dropped from 46 points per game to 37. Kevin Martin added 17 points off the bench for the Thunder (36-12). Shawn Marion paced Dallas (20-28) with 23 points. However, after collecting a total of 28 rebounds in his previous two games, he was held to only one board against the Thunder. Dirk Nowitzki shot 3-fo...

Ezatullah Pamir, Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — The U.S. military has suspended training of some Afghan forces while the Americans review the process of vetting new recruits following a spike in deadly attacks on international troops last month, officials said Sunday.
There have been 34 attacks by Afghan police or soldiers on their international allies so far this year — at least 12 in August alone. The members of the Afghan security forces have killed 45 international troops, putting intense strain on the relationship. The attacks have complicated a key pillar in the plan for the U.S.-led coalition to withdraw by the end of 2014 — training Afghan forces to take the lead in securing their own country.
Lt. Col. Todd Harrell, a spokesman for U.S. special operations forces in Afghanistan, said the Americans have halted training for at least a month of about 1,000 trainees of the Afghan Local Police (ALP), a government-backed militia that is under the authority of the national police but operates independently. He said the Americans are redoing background checks on the Afghans.
"The training of the ALP recruits has been paused while we go through this re-vetting process to take a look at this process to see if there's anything that we can improve," Harrell said. "It may take a month. It may take two months. We don't know."
The United States and its allies have been training the Afghan army and police so that they can gradually take over security for the country by the end 2014. They hope to have about 350,000 Afghans trained and ready by the end of the year, and gradually have been putting them in the lead for security in parts of Afghanistan since last year.
Coalition authorities have said about 25 percent of this year's insider attacks had confirmed or suspected links to the Taliban. The militants have sometimes infiltrated the ranks of the Afghan army and police and in other cases are believed to have coerced or otherwise persuaded legitimate members to turn on their coalition partners.
The international forces in Afghanistan have been revisiting both security for their forces and re-examining the backgrounds of the Afghan forces in the wake of the recent attacks on international troops. The coalition has already been re-vetting Afghan soldiers returning from leave.
U.S. special operations forces are responsible for the 16,000-strong ALP and decided to stop training the new recruits among them while re-vetting them. The ALP already in the field, who have already been trained, will continue to operate as normal, Harrel said. The government will also keep recruiting new members, he said.
Col. Tom Collins, a spokesman for the international military coalition in Afghanistan, also said there was no set date to resume training of the ALP.
The pause in training was first reported by the Washington Post.
Harrell also disclosed for the first time on Sunday that the Americans last month suspended operations by the Afghan special forces last month to re-vet those soldiers for any potential ties to insurgents or any other indications that they might turn on their allies. He said the suspension lasted less than two weeks and that the forces have since resumed operations.
Harrell said he was not aware of any Afghan troops who were suspended or flagged for monitoring in that round of re-vetting.
The Post also reported that training of special operations forces had been halted. But a spokesman for the NATO training mission in Afghanistan, or NTM-A, which oversees this training, said there has been no such pause.
"There has been no halt in training with NTM-A assets as they relate to special forces," said Maj. Steve Neta of the Canadian military. He also said no other training programs involving the traditional military or police have been halted for re-vetting.

It skips out of a few chapters from the regular bible. My husband and I read this book to our children along with the 365 days of Bedtime Bible Story book and it skips some chapters.
KJ5 Stars Out Of 5multiculturalAugust 19, 2015KJQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Our congregation includes people from many different backgrounds and ethnicities. As part of our faith formation program we give Bibles to the children at several different ages. I looked for Bibles that preschoolers would find interesting and had illustrations including multicultural characters. The Beginners Bible fit all the requirements. We also use the devotions and prayer books for the next age group (K - 1st).
Ask Christianbook
Q: Is this book accurate? Also, does it has stories from Genesis to Revelation?
Although the stories in this Bible are simplified for young children, they are Biblically accurate. It does contain stories from Genensis to Revelation; please see the Table of Contents sample pages for a complete listing of both Old and New Testament stories.
Q: What is the type size? I always want to know the type size! Kids need to be able to actually use the books; and type large enough for grandma to see the print helps too.Thanks!
This Bible is printed in 18 point text.

Noodle Recipes
Soba and Maitake Mushrooms in Soy Broth
This soup is trendy ramen's healthier sibling: The buckwheat in soba is nutritious and a good source of fiber (in a flavorful maitake mushroom soy broth, too).
How Readers Cooked Our Shoyu Ramen from September 2013
The difference between a bowl of instant noodles and a handcrafted labor of love is enormous—and nobody understands it better than these bloggers who undertook our multiday ramen project
Hot Pepper Noodles
These rice noodles come together faster than your favorite Thai place can deliver, guaranteed. They're equally good with tofu, beef, or shrimp in place of the chicken.
Shoyu Ramen
Bringing ramen home takes a trip to an Asian market, three days of work, and your largest pot, but this low-stress (really!) labor of love might be the best soup you'll ever make.
Bean Thread Noodles with Pickled Vegetables
For the quick pickles, try using other crisp vegetables, such as radishes, celery, or fennel.
Rice Vermicelli with Chicken and Nuoc Cham
Nuoc cham, the Vietnamese condiment that dresses this crunchy noodle salad, is made with lime juice, fish sauce, chiles, and sugar. The addictive mix of spicy, sweet, sour, and salty flavors is also great as a dipping sauce for grilled meats.
Sesame Noodles with Chili Oil and Scallions
Spicy Sichuan pepper, which delivers a numbing effect along with nuanced heat, will leave your lips buzzing. Use any leftover chili oil in dressings or marinades

Buggingen Vacation Packages
When it comes to getting the best out of your time here, it's good to keep in mind that Buggingen is just the beginning; Black Forest features an abundance of wonderful places to visit. If you're keen to explore more of the area, head 18 miles (29 kilometers) to Weil Am Rhein. Here you can spend an hour or two visiting the Laguna Badeland and Vitra Design Museum.
About 14 miles (23 kilometers) to the northeast of Buggingen is Freiburg, a regional center where you'll find Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus), Martinstor Gate and Schwabentor Gate. Freiburg Main Cathedral (Freiburg Munster), Breisacher Gate and Freiburg Theater are good places to visit.
For a budget-friendly, outdoor experience that the whole family will enjoy, take the time to stop by the region's popular open-air exhibits, farms and open-air museums. If you're looking for indoor entertainment, you can't better Black Forest 's nature museums, history museums and theaters. These are great spots to learn about the local culture and perhaps find a special memento.
Mix a little learning with leisure on your travels by joining a group of like-minded travelers on one of the area's popular winery tours, guided nature walks and city walking tours. A great way to experience the unique natural environment around Buggingen is to sign up for a mountain biking or hiking tour.
You'll hate to bid "Tschüss" (farewell) to this appealing part of the world.

Sony Tablet P pictures and hands-on
While the Tablet S sports a "folded magazine" design, the clamshell design of the Tablet P is likely to be more controversial. The fact that the Tablet P comes equipped with 3G as standard and not an option is a clear indicator of exactly where Sony sees the Tablet P positioned.
Demonstrating the portability of the tablet, our Sony agent folded the Tablet P shut and slipped it into his inside jacket pocket. At 380g, it's light enough to do this, meaning you can take your Honeycomb tablet experience with you on the move.
Sure, with the latest run of 7-inch tablets, like the ViewSonic ViewPad 7x we recently reviewed, we can see that some might want to take their Honeycomb experience with them on the move - a few more screen inches than your phone makes a big difference to watching movies on the move.
But with the Tablet P you get a 5.5-inch screen, which isn't that much bigger than your phone, but offers a sharp 1024 x 480 resolution, and then you get the same again.
Of course it isn't simple. As a clamshell design you have two screens and depending on what app you choose to use, they'll either work together or separately so there is some method in Sony's madness here.
Fold the Tablet P flat and you get 1024 x 960 pixels at your disposal. In the browser this means you suddenly have a lot more space to view your website, accepting that there will be a black bar across the middle of the page. Although this is quirky, the browser experience is actually pretty good.
Fire up Sony's Reader app and you'll get portrait reading across both screens. You then swipe the pages and both screens clear out giving you the next page(s).
The Sony Tablet P is, naturally, PlayStation Certified so you'll find Crash Bandicoot pre-installed if that's what you want to play. In many ways, the Tablet P makes more sense as a gaming device than the Tablet S, as you get the controls on the bottom screen and the game in the top - but if you're interested in gaming, why not shoot for a PlayStation Vita instead?
Of course the counter argument to the convenience of separating things onto two screens is that you do miss out on that big screen wow factor. While Sony may be taking advantage of the dual screens with their own apps, we're not sure that all third-party apps will put it to best effect - something we'll have to look at in more detail when we get the Tablet P in for a full review.
As with all Sony products the Tablet P is well put together, but we're not sure about the hinge design which seems a little crude although solid enough. Connectivity is still a little on the light side only offering a Micro-USB connection and whilst you get the DLNA connected features to shoot movies onto your TV, you don't get the IR remote control functions.
Internally you get the defacto Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset to power the whole thing and internal memory sits at 4GB, although you can expand this up to 32GB via microSD card.
Sporting Android 3.2 at launch, we're not totally sold on the concept of the Sony Tablet P, but if it has piqued your interest it is expected to land in November and can be yours for around £479.

It decided to build its own power plant to run the desalination facility.
She could easily work for an airline, power plant, or cruise line.
A major energy company has completed one of three planned conversions of a power plant from coal to biomass in Virginia.
Now that the power plant has been hit, they have no water and no electricity.
"The power plant should be waterproofed around the cooling pump," he said.
This was the power plant, and, coupled to the front of it, was a second scow of like width but greater length.
I'm glad of it, too, because they'll let our power plant alone now.
It turned out that an overload had shorted the Quakelizor's power plant.
As the three men raced toward the power plant, Dick explained.
With the self-contained unit a direct hit by the enemy would put both gun and power plant out of commission.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is accepting applications for the 2015 – 2017 Prevention Fellowship Program.
The SAMHSA CSAP Prevention Fellowship Program was launched in 2006 in an effort to build a workforce of substance abuse professionals. During the 2-year fellowship program, which combines Web‐based and in-person trainings, fellows improve their skills and their knowledge of prevention practices. During their Prevention Fellowship Program experience, fellows focus on acquiring the necessary skills for success in the fields of substance abuse prevention and behavioral health. Prevention Fellowship Program prepares fellows to provide capacity-building Technical Assistance (TA) to support integration of behavioral health prevention services in their state/territories. This is part of SAMHSA's support for integrating policies and programs related to prevention and behavioral health promotion in states, U.S. territories, and local organizations.
Fellows will benefit from hands-on experience and trainings in competency areas such as behavioral health promotion, the Strategic Prevention Framework, community organization, public policy and environmental change, program planning, and evaluation. Fellows will learn new techniques, master best practices in the field, and apply knowledge gained from their professional and cultural experiences.
The Prevention Fellowship Program seeks qualified individuals who are looking for professional growth in the field of substance abuse prevention. Fellows will receive a yearly stipend of up to $37,000, and will be required to work 32 hours per week. These individuals will be assigned to mentors from participating State agencies across the United States and U.S. Territories and Pacific Jurisdictions. Fellows will be accepted on a location-by-location basis.
Applications are being accepted by the following participating states/territories:
*Priority Sites are those eligible States, U.S. Territories/Pacific Jurisdictions, and Organizations that have first-right-of-refusal to select a fellow for their location.
**Alternative Sites will be considered in the event a Priority Site opts out of participation in the fellowship.
WHO CAN APPLY:: Individuals seeking selection into the Prevention Fellowship Program must meet the following criteria and provide associated documentation:
Applications must be completed and submitted by Friday, August 14, 2015. To apply, complete and submit the online application, visit
