This work introduces a novel process for the fabrication of free-standing biodegradable casein devices with micro- and nanoscale regular and biomimetic surface features. Fabrication of intermediate polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) moulds from photoresist masters and liquid-casting of casein is used to transfer arbitrary geometrical shapes onto the surface of casein devices. Casein film composition was optimized for mechanical stability and pattern resolution. It was found that 15% casein in 0.2% NaOH solution, mixed with 10% glycerol, and cross-linked by addition of 2% glutaraldehyde produced the best pattern transfer results. Biomimetic cell-like shapes were transferred onto casein by use of bioimprinting of two-dimensional cell-cultures into PDMS. To demonstrate this process, C2C12 mouse myoblasts were cultured on microscope slides, replicated into PDMS and casein using liquid casting and drying. Recessed alignment grids were integrated into the microscope glass slides to facilitate direct comparison of original cells and their bioimprints on PDMS and casein. Optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy confirmed the transfer of micron-scale morphological features, such as cell outlines, nuclei and larger lamellipodia, into the casein surface. Nanoscale feature resolution in casein was found to be limited compared to the PDMS intermediate moulds, which was attributed to limited wetting of the aqueous casein solution. Strategies to increase resolution of the casein transfer step, as well as degradation behavior of the fabricated devices in cell culture media are currently underway. Substrates fabricated with this process have applications in stem cell engineering, regenerative medicine, and implantable devices.
Metal contamination deposited on few-layer graphene (3 ± 1 monolayers) grown on SiC(0001) was successfully removed from the surface, using low cost adhesive tape. More than 99% of deposited silver contamination was removed from the surface via peeling, causing minimal damage to the graphene. A small change in the adhesion of graphene to the SiC(0001) substrate was indicated by changes observed in pleat defects on the surface; however, atomic resolution images show the graphene lattice remains pristine. Thin layers of contamination deposited via an electron gun during Auger electron spectroscopy/low energy electron diffraction measurements were also found to be removable by this technique. This contamination showed similarities to "roughened" graphene previously reported in the literature.
Atomic layers of black phosphorus (P) isolated from its layered bulk make a new two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting crystal with sizable direct bandgap, high carrier mobility, and promises for 2D electronics and optoelectronics. However, the integrity of black P crystal could be susceptible to a number of environmental variables and processes, resulting in degradation in device performance even before the device optical image suggests so. Here, the authors perform a systematic study of the environmental effects on black P electronic devices through continued measurements over a month under a number of controlled conditions, including ambient light, air, and humidity, and identify evolution of device performance under each condition. The authors further examine effects of thermal and electrical treatments on inducing morphology and performance changes and failure modes in black P devices. The results suggest that procedures well established for nanodevices in other 2D materials may not directly apply to black P devices, and improved procedures need to be devised to attain stable device operation.
The effect of a back gate on the dc performance of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor was investigated. The back gate was fabricated directly under the device active area by etching off the Si substrate, AlN nucleation layer, and graded AlGaN transition layer and depositing Ni/Au-based gate metal on the exposed GaN buffer layer. The reverse bias gate leakage current decreased from 3.9 × 10−5 to 1.2 × 10−5 mA/mm by applying −10 V at the back gate. Because of the suppression of gate leakage current by the back gate, the drain on/off ratio improved from 1.8 × 105 to 1.2 × 106 and the subthreshold swing from 204 to 137 mV/dec. Moreover, the drain breakdown voltage could be improved by 40% when the back gate was biased at −25 V.
Conductance fluctuations in graphene nanoribbons with a disordered, short-range potential are numerically studied. The authors carry out Fermi energy sweeps at different magnetic fields and magnetic field sweeps at a fixed Fermi energy to examine whether universality and ergodicity hold in graphene. The authors find that there is no universality of the fluctuations. The amplitude of fluctuations has a dependence on disorder strength. Further, Fermi energy sweeps have stronger fluctuation amplitudes than magnetic field sweeps, demonstrating a lack of ergodicity. In addition, the magnetic field does not significantly affect the fluctuation amplitude of Fermi energy sweeps.

Effects of conducting defects on resistive switching characteristics of SiN x -based resistive random-access memory with MIS structureView Description Hide Description
In this work, the effects of conducting defects on resistive switching characteristics of SiN x -based resistive random-access memory (RRAM) have been investigated. Two types of RRAM devices having metal–insulator–silicon layer configuration were fabricated. One is the device with SiN x as the resistive switching layer deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and the other has the SiN x layer prepared by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). The device cell deposited by LPCVD (LP-SiN x cell afterward) demonstrated superior uniformity of switching parameters and better endurance cycles compared with the device cell deposited by PECVD (PE-SiN x cell afterward).f
Sacrificial structures for deep reactive ion etching of high-aspect ratio kinoform silicon x-ray lensesView Description Hide Description
This article describes the realization of complex high-aspect ratio silicon structures with feature dimensions from 100 μm to 100 nm by deep reactive ion etching using the Bosch process. As the exact shape of the sidewall profiles can be crucial for the proper functioning of a device, the authors investigated how sacrificial structures in the form of guarding walls and pillars may be utilized to facilitate accurate control of the etch profile. Unlike other sacrificial structuring approaches, no silicon-on-insulator substrates or multiple lithography steps are required. In addition, the safe removal of the sacrificial structures was accomplished by thermal oxidation and subsequent selective wet etching. The effects of the dimensions and relative placement of sacrificial walls and pillars on the etching result were determined through systematic experiments. The authors applied this process for exact sidewall control in the manufacture of x-ray lenses that are very sensitive to sidewall shape nonuniformities. Compound kinoform lenses for focusing hard x-rays with structure heights of 200 μm were manufactured, and the lenses were tested in terms of their focusing ability and refracting qualities using synchrotron radiation at a photon energy of 17 keV. A 180 μm long line focus with a waist of 430 nm at a focal length of 215 mm was obtained.f
Comparison of acid- and non-acid-based surface preparations of Nb-doped SrTiO3 (001)View Description Hide Description
High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to study the relative effectiveness of acid- and non-acid-based surface preparations of Nb-doped SrTiO3 (STO) single crystals. ARPES measurements show that boiling STO in deionized water produces surfaces of similar quality to those etched with buffered HF (Kawasaki method), or HCl/HNO3 (Arkansas method). XPS measurements indicate this water-based surface preparation is more effective than acid-based methods at removing SrOx crystallites and leaving the surface TiO2-terminated.f
Deep level transient spectroscopy in III-Nitrides: Decreasing the effects of series resistanceView Description Hide Description
A modification of deep level transient spectroscopy which varies the measurement frequency from 10 kHz to 1 MHz and is based on commercially available inductance–capacitance–resistance meters and pulse generators was tested for GaN films and AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor structures with various series resistances. It is demonstrated that the measured spectra at high and low frequency follow the well documented frequency dependences of the stationary capacitance and magnitude of the capacitance transient. Measurements at low frequency allow for accurate determination of the concentration of the traps and, in many cases, detect traps that cannot be observed in the high frequency measurements. This is particularly valuable in materials like GaN where series resistance effects can be significant.f
Investigation of traps in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors by sub-bandgap optical pumpingView Description Hide Description
Sub-bandgap optical pumping with wavelengths of 671, 532, or 447 nm was employed to study traps in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors. The trap energies were determined from the Arrhenius plots of transient drain current at different temperatures. Prominent states were located around 0.7 eV below the conduction band, and these are commonly reported to be nonradiative traps due to defects trapped on dislocations or possibly Ga interstitials. In addition, traps located at 1.9 and 2.35 eV below the conduction band were found, which have been reported as NGa antisite and VGa–ON complexes, respectively. The postillumination drain current decays were analyzed with a persistent photoconductivity method, and time constants were extracted and associated with the recapture process in the AlGaN barrier and GaN channel layers.f
Effect of GaN surface treatment on Al2O3/n-GaN MOS capacitorsView Description Hide Description
The surface preparation for depositing Al2O3 for fabricating Au/Ni/Al2O3/n-GaN (0001) metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitors was optimized as a step toward realization of high performance GaN MOSFETs. The GaN surface treatments studied included cleaning with piranha (H2O2:H2SO4 = 1:5), (NH4)2S, and 30% HF etches. By several metrics, the MOS capacitor with the piranha-etched GaN had the best characteristics. It had the lowest capacitance–voltage hysteresis, the smoothest Al2O3 surface as determined by atomic force microscopy (0.2 nm surface roughness), the lowest carbon concentration (∼0.78%) at the Al2O3/n-GaN interface (from x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), and the lowest oxide-trap charge (QT = 1.6 × 1011 cm−2eV−1). Its interface trap density (Dit = 3.7 × 1012 cm−2eV−1), as measured with photon-assisted capacitance– voltage method, was the lowest from conduction band-edge to midgap.f

ANZ's Foray Into Thailand Market A Long-Term Bet Signifies More Foreign Banks To Invest In Thailand
Thailand has recently opened its doors to ANZ. What does this mean for Thailand as an investment location
Gurgaon, Haryana, India., June 13, 2014 - (PressReleasePoint) -
The banking landscape in Asia has seen more foreign banks expanding in the region. Most recently, the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) – Australia's third largest bank – was granted a subsidiary banking license to open 20 branches across Thailand; signaling the Thai government's readiness to accept more foreign bank investment. Leon Perera, Chief Executive Officer of Spire Research and Consulting, shared his view on Thailand as an investment banking location.
ANZ reckoned that the size of Thailand's economy, its importance as a regional manufacturing center, as well as its proximity to other South East Asian markets amounted to a positive long-term outlook for the country. Previously, Thailand had opened its doors to other foreign banks, including Japanese banks Mizuho, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi and Sumitomo-Mitsui, just to name a few.
While mobile banking may become an important channel in future, ANZ and the other foreign banks in Thailand should continue to look into developing physical banking channels, as cash remained as the principal mode of transaction in the country.
Perera highlighted that despite the recent coup in Thailand, the government would continue to accept applications from foreign banks to set up subsidiaries, in the hope that this would signal the new government's willingness to give foreign investors market access and a level playing field, reinforcing investor confidence. ANZ's decision would clearly be a boost to Thailand's standing as a foreign investment destination, which would have taken a knock due to the recent political turmoil culminating in a military coup.

An adult film actor has tested positive for HIV in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, home to many of the U.S. porn industry's biggest studios, according to the Los Angeles Times.
As a result, two of the area's largest studios, Vivid Entertainment and Wicked Pictures, suspended production on Tuesday, October 12.
The unnamed actor was a member of the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, a Sherman Oaks clinic that primarily serves porn industry workers. "We are quarantining and testing all exposed partners to the individual," said Jennifer Miller, a counselor at the clinic. Miller declined to give any further information about the performer, including the gender of the person.
Not The First HIV Outbreak In The Porn Industry
Although this is the first known local case of HIV infection of an active porn performer in more than a year, it is not the first time that this billion dollar industry has faced closures.
In 2004, an HIV outbreak caused panic and more than 30 companies stopped filming to wait for test results on performers who had engaged in sex scenes with Darren James or the three female actors he infected with HIV. James had tested negative days before performing and was unaware of his positive status.
Need For Mandatory Condoms
Since that time, the actor has become a strong advocate for mandatory condoms on porn sets. Hearing the news this week, he was outraged: "There should have been mandatory condoms," he stated. "Good grief, it's like my deal all over again. I hate that."
Last August, the Aids Healthcare Foundation submitted an official complaint in California against Larry Flynt. Flynt's response? He declared that he delivers "what the consumer wants."
Protect Adult Movie Workers
Federal law that does require that all porn actors to be tested for HIV 30 days before the start of filming, but clearly more needs to be done to protect workers in the adult film industry.

condoms are not 100% safe
its a sleezy business makes me wonder why people decide to get into it.like playing russian roullete i guess.case in point
In addition to other precautions such as ring, and other means.
safe sex should be practiced
While it's true, the porn people should wear condoms, we seem to forget that these are consenting adults that know very well what they're doing and what they're getting themselves into. Porn is a very risky business and in today's climate anyone and everyone with half a brain should know to protect themselves.
I have never understood why some one would want to be in bed with a partner with a porn movie on. I would be terribly offended. If you love your partner you make love...if you don't you have sex. You don't need a porn movie to make love.
Actually I think it's rather sick to watch one of these things, but that's just my opinion. If we are going to have these things then yes, the actors should be protected.
Come on everyone. Whether you like porn or not, it will continue to exist and others will continue to partake. Obviously something needs to be done to protect porn actors, whether or not you think what they do or who they are is moral. No one deserves HIV.
Ok, am I supposed to feel sorry about this????
Look, to each his own. But come on, you reap what you sow.
If you play with fire you usually get burned.
Get whay I'm saying???

Back-up plan issue pulled from Tuesday's Vero Beach Council agenda
Vice Mayor Craig Fletcher's statements that he wanted to look at a back-up plan in case the sale of Vero Beach's electric system to Florida Power & Light Co. could not be completed generated enough concern that he pulled the issue off Tuesday's City Council agenda.
Fletcher said some people thought he was favoring a partial sale of the system, while others thought he was interfering with the negotiation process under way with FPL.
Fletcher has said he still remains very optimistic that the sale of the entire system to FPL will go through and his commitment to a sale has not changed. He said, however, he still wants to know what the city will do if the sale cannot happen for some reason, such as the city not being able to get out of its current wholesale power contracts.
Fletcher said he will discuss the issue some more with the city administration and FPL to see what their thoughts are on the matter.

All good advise. I'd been wondering when to plant my gladiolus, nice to know they can be planted anytime now. There are about 40 to 50 bulbs saved from last year, dwarf and tall varieties but all mixed up now, should have labelled them.
Jo/Geoff. Am I right in thinking the smaller bulbs are dwarf gladiolus or can't you tell at this stage. Some are only the size of cherry tomatoes where others are as big as golf balls.
Wet and windy here.
I've been sowing seeds in the kitchen it's been so cold outsideA tab bit disappointed with germination. Twelve chilli Apache seeds sown and only three have come up, sadly going leggy whilst I wait for the others to show. Cayenne just two seeds showing, peppers are no better...
David......so pleased with my SP seedlings this year. Kept nipping off extra growth over Winter...grown in the GH, they have had no TLC, not been brought indoors once and nearly all the plants have at least three shoots from one seed...looking really good and healthy...I'm planting as companions along side pea's and beans but any spares will now be planted along side my climbers in a flower bed....when would you advise they can be planted out...
Brr...sounds cold...I've often read your posts and wondered which part of France you were in, just visited 'wikipedia' for Dordogne to see where you are in relation to Agde, you are up the country and to the left, me thinks.
Been to the place where they make that really nice blue cheese, me thinks that's in your direction.
What a difference in climate though from the South Coast, you don't look to be that far inland from Agde but I'm sure it's probably a few hundred miles. We travel over the Pyrenees for duty free's into Spain or Andorra and there's usually snow on the peaks there in early spring and Autumn.
OK... so what advise do you want
Rain. I tried Verve at the start of last year and wasn't impressed either but then by chance at the end of the growing season bought a huge split bag, it was vey good quality....guess it's a lottery....
Nice and sunny here with clear blue skies.
Frank - so glad I went on the train.
Busy-Lizzie. My brother has a house in Agde. Hasn't snowed there in over 20 yrs, I'm told it seldom drops below 15C in winter. When it did last snow, it was such a novelty, everyone took pictures and a few bars have them on their walls .
His neighbour grows veg in her garden, it seems odd seeing what we would grow in a GH romping away outdoors, she grows huge toms and grapes to die for.
Another cold day. The snow from yesterday has all but gone.
Bunny/Frank. Was in Carlisle and then Stockton yesterday, decided to go on the train which was just as well, it was blizzardous in the morning in Carlisle, popped into Costa's for a coffee and the guy at the counter, told me you can get four seasons in one day.
It was certainly colder in Stockton, the snow started coming down again at about 5pm just as I was setting back off for home.
any reason why you don't answer the Q....Where are you from square foot!
This lady is neither growing vegetables or keeping animals. If Dovefromabove hadn't posted, my view would have been she needs to take this up with the solicitor involved with purchasing the land/property who should have advised her appropriately as to what she could or not do on the land prior to purchase.
She may have a liable claim against the solicitor, if not given appropriate counsel and although I feel sorry for this lady sadly ignorance is not a defence in a court of law and the council will know this.
If she chose to ignore the advise given at time of purchase by her solicitor...well... she took her chances.... and sadly has been found out...

A new website offers internships for students only at small business ventures or startups across the world.
May 31, 2009 2:40 by Aarti Nagraj
While internships at many big companies translate into getting coffee or staring at your boss, a start-up company promises enterprising students work and opportunities. Trends spotting site Springwise.com profiled Enternships.com, a new website that hopes to provide small businesses and startups with entrepreneurial students, or 'enterns'.
Both companies and students can register free with the website, which offers part-time, short-term and full-time placements. "Unlike other services, we focus on entrepreneurial work placements to ensure that our enterns get 'hands on' business experience," says the website.
Some of the offers that are available on the site include internships with companies in the UK, Netherlands, South America, Philippines, the US, China and Milan. The 'enternships' range from field marketers and web developers, to PR managers and journalists.
The site was developed by former members of Oxford Entrepreneurs, a student-run society at Oxford University that encourages and supports student entrepreneurship. The site, which is currently in beta, is also planning to add more services in the near future, including a special program for children leaving school and year-long programs for graduates.
Enternships.com claims that it offers students a greater chance to work with the founders of a company, a chance to play different roles, and possibly a job in the future. At the same time, it also gives smaller companies cheap extra hands to help.
Regionally, a concept like this could work well. Before the financial crisis hit the GCC, the region –specifically the UAE – witnessed enormous economic growth, which was fuelled the rise of small businesses. Although these entrepreneurial ventures may be struggling to pay employees because of the slowdown, using an 'entern' could help for a short while.
Whether Enternships.com will work for regional startups or not, it seems like an interesting concept.

Global deficits in transparency and public oversight
The world's first environmental impact statement on genetically altered insects was produced by US authorities in 2008 and has since then been used as a basis for approval of subsequent experiments around the world. The scientists raise some doubts about the scientific value of this environmental impact statement: for example the majority of novel transgenic approaches it endorses are based on just two laboratory studies out of approximately 170 scientific studies cited. These two studies focus only one of the four species covered by the document. Apparently, such deficits do not only apply to the US. "We noted that public access to scientific information is highly restricted throughout the world, particularly information made available before releases start", says Guy Reeves from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology.
The Cayman Islands was in 2009 the site of the first free release of genetically modified mosquitoes. There were, however, some doubts about the relative strength of the legal safeguards that existed. The Cayman Islands had no enacted legislation specifically mentioning the release or transportation of living genetically modified organisms. In 2009 only 21 of the world's 191 countries also had not updated their existing environmental protection or animal control laws to specifically regulate living genetically modified organisms. While the Cayman Islands is a British overseas territory and consequently not a sovereign state, it is noteworthy that none of these 21 countries is thought to have approved any release of a living genetically modified organism.
The first and most obvious question of people living in the release sites of the genetically modified mosquitoes (OX513a) in the Cayman Islands, Malaysia, and Brazil is whether humans can be bitten by genetically modified mosquitoes. In public information available in

Santos Arturo Gamez's curator insight, October 2, 4:41 PM
Integrating Mobile Devices such as (iPads) into the classroom could be a challenge for traditional education. Knowing methods of implementing material and formatting a course using technology tools to facilitate the process is one of the many ways to transition into the paradigm shift in education. Many examples like this one can help instructors find out more ways to use this in their classroom.
Nik Peachey's curator insight, September 18, 12:55 AM
Yep. Training, training and more training. OR better still teachers need to become autonomous learners.
Eric Rodriguez's curator insight, September 23, 6:34 PM
Interesting take on why the iPad boom is not working for some teachers in Europe. I agree with the article that kids are far more tech savvy than most of their teachers because the grew up with it. While we had to learn the iPhone and iPad they are given one as early as three years old.

The 2010 Proprietary Red Paradise Hills Vineyard (84.1% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.4% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot; 14.5% alcohol; pH 3.8) is more reserved than the 2009, but it reveals enormous promise. A dense plum/purple color is accompanied by hints of charcoal embers, camphor, incense, licorice and exceptionally pure quantities of creme de cassis, blackberries and smoky barbecue. Deep with superb concentration and a massive mouthfeel, but no sense of heaviness or astringency, this exceptionally pure 2010 can be enjoyed over the next 25-30+ years.Drink Dates: 2013-2043

Fox hasn't forgotten you dirt jumpers and four crossers out there just because you're hiding amongst huge piles of fresh dirt! The Fox 32 831 100 FIT RLC Fork is specifically designed to suit the needs of dirt jumping, dual slalom, and 4X racing. It's lightweight yet stiff, and the Kashima Coat on the upper tubes makes it so responsive you can feel the rake marks in the dirt.
The Kashima Coat starts with raw aluminum stanchions and adds molybdenum disulfide via an induction process that deposits the material into pores in the surface to the effect of 70 billion pores per cm². The MoS₂ adds lubricity, extending the life of the tubes as well as greatly reducing friction. This reduces stiction and makes the fork ...Kashima Coat makes the 831 so smooth, you can feel the rake marks in the dirt... more responsive over stutters and successive whoops. More fork control means better traction, and that may just be the difference between railing out of the pocket or over the top of the berm and off course.
Fox knows their 831 will suffer abuse at the hands of eager groms and experienced riders alike, beating it at the jump park. For that reason, it uses the same magnesium lower legs as its long travel FLOAT cousins. At a shorter 100mm travel length however, the chassis is extra stiff due to greater bushing overlap. If you need some extra travel and don't mind pulling the lower legs, you can remove travel spacers from underneath the air piston in 10mm increments to extend the 831 to a maximum of 120mm of travel.
Since the 831 is designed expressly for the demands of the jump park or slalom course, the FIT RLC damper has valving designed to counteract fork wallow when sprinting from a gate start and bottom out after big jumps. The difference is in the compression damping tune, both high and low speed, from the factory. There are adjustments at the crown of course for day to day tweaking, depending on your preferences -- we'd expect nothing less from Fox. There are machined aluminum knobs for the low speed compression damping, lockout, rebound damping, and the lockout force adjust. The air spring is designed to be more progressive to help battle bottom out and another benefit is that, in conjunction with the new FIT RLC damper, it will resist compression during hard cornering loads.
The FIT damper is sealed against the elements -- a good thing when you're riding in a dusty bike park all day. In addition to resisting contamination, the sealed suspension fluid can't get aerated, so the damping characteristics stay the same from the top of the course to the bottom.
The Fox32 831 100 FIT RLC Fork has a Black powdercoated crown and lower legs and gold colored Kashima Coat on the upper tubes. It uses a 15QR thru-axle and two steerer options exist -- straight 1-1/8" and tapered 1-1/8" to 1.5". The tool-free 15QR thru-axle keeps the front end of the bike from squirming on gnarly landings. It uses post mounts for the brake rotor and will accept up to a 203mm rotor, although a 160mm rotor will allow for a direct mount to the lower leg with no adapter.
US Fox dealers are prohibited from shipping Fox Forks outside the US.
- Kashima Coat reduces stiction and adds durability without adding weight
- Fox Isolation Technology (FIT) prevents the oil and air inside the fork from mixing for optimal performance in any weather extremes
- The 15mm QR is much stiffer than a 9mm QR and much lighter than a 20mm thru-axle for optimal XC and all-mountain performance
- Lever-actuated lockout eliminates fork bob during climbing and can be adjusted to compress slightly to improve tracking or it can lock out completely
- Low-speed compression adjustment allows the rider to dial the fork's feel on smaller bumps and washboard surfaces

West Cumbrian couple have fostered 170 children
Last updated at 16:49, Thursday, 06 February 2014
How many children is too many? It's an age-old question, but it's unlikely many couples consider 170 a reasonable number.
Safe to say then that Sue and Barry Shearman do things a little differently.
It began when Sue's mum had heard an advert on the radio encouraging listeners to get involved in foster care.
She recommended to her daughter that she and husband Barry look into it, and after a some encouragement the couple went to an information evening.
They have since both received MBEs for their long service to fostering, and the happy atmosphere in their home is palpable.
So what's their secret?
Sue, 59 says: "You've got to have a lot of understanding and patience – we are chilled.
"If you get uptight you're onto a loser. If they are angry it isn't at you but they take it out on you.
"We are a big family for talking and we have meetings. We will get round the table and sort it out.
"It's hard but we are good because we have got good support."
Currently there are a total of nine people living at the Shearman residence in Maryport.
Every Sunday no fewer than 24 members of the family get together for dinner, and last year 17 went on a summer holiday.
As you might expect, after nearly three-and-a-half decades the family have been through some dark times.
But these are outweighed by the happiness they get from and give to the youngsters who pass through their home.
Barry, 61, explains: "There was one who came and we thought; 'what have we done here?'
"But now she's one of the nicest lasses you could ever meet.
"The best bits have got to be taking them on holiday.
"Some we have had were terrified of water at the start of a holiday, wearing life jackets.
"But by the end of the first week they were jumping in and out of the pool."
Sue adds: "That was just through time and talking, and it didn't take that long.
"We don't expect instant results."
The couple are both retired now, but when they started Barry worked for the gas board.
Despite their prodigious capacity for caring, they still needed help from Sue's mum and dad.
And they both keenly believe that employers should help when it comes to fostering.
Barry says: "When I worked for the gas board it was like a family, and if you were struggling they would help you.
Sue explains: "If anything cropped up like if one of the children had to go to hospital they supported us. A lot of firms don't but they did.
"Fostering is a valuable vocation and they have to look to the future. If we fail our kids we are failing future generations.
"A lot of them come in and I think they wouldn't get anywhere, but we are making a change in their lives.
"They are going to contribute to our society."
Barry and Sue both insist that fostering has brought them so much joy that they cannot pick out a single happiest moment.
But there are certainly highlights.
One of Sue's proudest achievements was taking in a young girl who refused to go to school, and turning her life around. After help and encouragement she flourished in education and left college with a distinction.
Their influence has been so great that Sue's daughter took up fostering and has three foster children, as well as four of her own.
After taking in 170 children the pair admit that there are occasions when they have to hold up their hands and accept that they've done everything they can. Sue says: "You can't win all the time.
"Sometimes you don't get through and sometimes you are not the right couple."
Barry adds: "You can think you've failed, and they come back and say; 'it wasn't your fault'."
As foster children often come from violent, abusive or chaotic backgrounds, there can be a culture shock when they are brought into a loving family.
Barry says: "Some kids haven't got anything.
"We have had some and they would whisper; 'we are getting breakfast', and; 'we are getting supper' behind their hands to each other.
"You try to take them for a bath and every other word is the f word."
The process to get involved in fostering has changed since Sue and Barry put their names forward.
Some prospective foster parents are daunted by the prospect of going through a lengthy procedure before being approved.
Others are simply apprehensive about fostering itself, worrying that they will not cope.
But Sue can't stress strongly enough how fulfilling it is in the end.
She say: "I have got cards from people we've cared for and when I read them I cry. They say; 'I would not be the person I am today if it wasn't for you'.
"The best bit is when they've gone on to independence and it's a job well done. I don't know what we would do if we didn't foster. Our house would be empty and boring."
Their argument is that the satisfaction outweighs the strain and the dividend is worth the difficulty.
The evidence is plain to see, and Sue and Barry are visibly delighted with the life they have chosen.
After 34 years Sue maintains that she will carry on fostering for as long as she is physically able.
She explains: "There are lots of happy memories. With my first pre-adoption baby I was very sad to see her go but it was really good for the people who adopted her. It completed their family.
"The kids we've had all say they didn't know what a normal family life was until they came here."
The publisher of the News & Star – CN Group – is the first fostering-friendly employer in Cumbria.
Now we've teamed up with Cumbria's fostering authority – the county council – to urge other employers to take simple steps that could help their employees become foster parents. The campaign reflects the growing need for new carers to take up fostering and give children a chance of a happy home.
There are 639 children in foster care across the county. There are 46 under the age of one, 142 aged one and four and 147 from five to nine years old.
The average age of Cumbrian carers is 52, meaning that a large number are nearing retirement.
The county council is holding a drop-in day on Saturday, February 8 at the Crown & Mitre Hotel in Carlisle from 10am to 2pm for anyone who wants to sign up or learn a little more about what it takes to be a carer.
Alternatively, call the county council on 0303 333 1216 or visit cumbria.gov.uk/fostering.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Thanks, All; Now Let's Get Busy
BAINBRIDGE ISLAND - Reader submitted
I very much appreciate the support expressed by the community I love so much.
What I heard from you was: work together, be fiscally responsible, fix the infrastructure, uphold community values, keep business viable, advocate for fair ferry fares, preserve and enhance our cultural and environmental quality of life, and use our limited resources most productively by investing in the community. I would like to thank the voters for their confidence in my ability to lead. I am deeply honored and will do my best.
I would like to especially thank my co-campaign managers: Peggy Connolly, Kim Hendrickson, and CarolAnn Barrows. You are a dynamite trio!
I look forward to working with the newly elected council members, the sitting council, the community, and city staff. In these challenging times, it will take our collective talents to right this ship financially as well as socially.
Let us focus on changing the tone of our government, making attainable priorities, and securing and keeping excellent city staff. It is now our job to get the city's problems solved. It is now our job to work together. Let us get great things done!

It seems I'm more optimistic than the previous responders on this one. Yes, I've found it takes a little convincing to get clients into the idea of film photography but that's where a good portfolio steps in to help out - make sure you do a lot of your own work developing your skills and a collection of relevant material for whatever jobs you pursue. It's usually the case, particularly if you are doing event work (weddings, etc.) where the deadlines are not as short as they might be for commercial photography or journalism, that clients wont care what you shoot with - some may even like the idea of film work (you can sell on the benefit of longevity, tangibility, etc.) You should be aware, however, that you will most likely have to present digital products at the end of the day so you have to get used to the idea of scanning your negatives or prints so investment in a decent negative scanner is a good thing to start with if you know that you will be pursuing this for a long time; many places that process film can also scan it but it will be more costly and you will have less control over the end result.
A note about formats: please do some reading about 35mm, medium format (i.e. 120 film), large format and decide what you think would be easy for you to work with and what will present the best results. I shoot my professional work with medium format equipment - there are lots of options here so you should look around - basically with a 6x7cm negative (for example) you have a lot more to work with than a 35mm negative and therefore the fidelity of your image, if blown up for magazine work or some such thing, can be a good deal higher. Anyhow, there's lots to figure out about equipment and the like and I don't know what field you're interested in working in so I can't recommend anything further for now.
If you love the work then you probably wont mind spending more time on your projects (processing, printing/scanning, etc.) and I can assure you that with a developed portfolio and a confident attitude you will be able to sell the idea of film to more people than you might imagine.

It is nice that somebody has put together a kit again, but the price is out of hand compared to Kodak's. When Kodak had the one gallon kit, I used to spend $75 for 7.5 L worth of processing chemicals (at least 64 rolls, and often more, as I would go through the chems a third time with less important pictures). That is 10 dollars per quart, compared with Rollei's price of $35 per liter.
Kodak chemicals can still be purchased individually, for even cheaper than I got the kits for. The developer is $7.50 for a quart of concentrate to make nearly 18 gallons of working solution. At that price, you can even feel ok using it one shot. One shot, you would get 288 rolls, two shot (which works perfectly fine), you would get 576. The fixer is $7.50 to make five gallons. This is theoretically enough to process 300 rolls of film going through the chems only once (twice as many if going through twice), plus you can use the same fixer for all your black and white film and paper processing needs. Again, cheap as dirt, and both of these chemicals can be mixed bit at a time as needed, so they do not spoil. The stabilizer is about $3 a bottle, good for about eight weeks or 180 rolls. The expensive part is the bleach. It is about $40 for about 100 rolls worth of bleach, in a pre-mixed 2.7 L container. (When the one gallon bleach was around, it was $25 for 120 rolls worth.) There is a starter/replenisher way to do it for much cheaper, but I am not familiar with it.
When you do all the maths, you see that for $35, you get about 50 rolls of processing (one shot developer, using other chems twice), compared to Rollei's $35 for 20 rolls reusing the developer multiple times; if one shot developer, it would only be five rolls (or four, as most people do not have five-roll tanks), so the Rollei chemistry is over 10x more expensive...and for what reason?
It is perhaps a good kit for teaching classes, in which the students might shoot 10 to 20 rolls in the course of a class, they do not want to rely on the group chemistry's purity, and they will likely never process color film again. It is also good for those who process infrequently. However, it is economic folly for anyone regularly doing even moderate quantities of color processing at home.

I'm using the PHP shorthand addition operator to tally the number of times a specific id occurs within a multidimensional array:
$source['tally'] = array();
foreach ($items as $item) {
$source['tally'][$item->getId()] += 1;
The first time it hits a new id, it sets its 'tally' value to 1 and then increments it each time it's found thereafter.
The code works perfectly (I get the correct totals), but PHP gives me an "Undefined Offset" notice each time it finds a new id.
I know I can just turn off notices in php.ini, but figured there must be a reason why PHP doesn't approve of my technique.
Is it considered bad practice to create a new key/offset dynamically like this, and is there a better approach I should take instead?
Please Note: To help clarify following initial feedback, I do understand why the notice is being given. My question is whether I should do anything about it or just live with the notice. Apologies if my question didn't make that clear enough.

Boys will be boys! This stud gets home from an evening out with his girlfriend and his best friend. His girlfriend decides to hit the sack early, leaving the stud alone in the kitchen with his friend. With his girlfriend in the next room, the stud gets his cock sucked by his blond friend, who uses his sweet dick slurping mouth to get his buddy to the point of cumming. Then the blond friend lowers his ass hole down on the stud's pole, getting ass fucked by the virile alpha male; he could go into the next room and take his girlfriend's pussy, but he'd rather have a man's ass! He also gives his blond buddy a considerate reach around.
