'Great read. There are many good examples that show how organizations can create a high engagement culture. It clearly describes how successful companies have achieved outstanding levels of performance by balancing me and we.'
Edward E. Lawler III, Author of Management Reset: Organizing for Sustainable Effectiveness, Director, Center for Effective Organizations and Professor at Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California, Los Angeles.
'The way we manage our employees has not kept pace with the changing nature of workplaces, growing competition and the changing attitudes of people at work. This mismatch is not sustainable; this is a vital topic for our ability to sustainably create wealth and for the wellbeing of our people. David Bowles and Cary Cooper have written an important book, at an important time on a vital topic. The good news is that some (but all too few) organizations have risen to this challenge and are sustainably engaging their people while delivering great business outcomes. The current crisis has focused attention on this topic and has resulted in
the UK government-sponsored, employer-led Task Force movement on this topic being well supported. With thoughtful contributions such as this book, we have every opportunity to evolve a better way of working for the good of organizations, for the good of the country and for the wellbeing of our people.'
David MacLeod, Chairman, UK Employee Engagement Task Force
'David Bowles and Cary Cooper take us from the financial Crash of 2008, through the ego, into culture, and offer the reader perspective and approaches to create high engagement by weaving me with we. The authors offer depth and detail to understand and achieve engaging work cultures. The book is laced with specific examples and research from BMW and Whole Foods Market, among many other organizations, to shopping experiences in Germany. This is a book to be read together with the people where you work to create a culture where all will benefit from an improvement in the workplace.'
David Zinger, Founder and Host of The Employee Engagement Network (www.employeeengagement.ning.com)
'My personal experience from many years in practice tells me that a strong corporate culture is the driver for sustainable, profitable growth of a company. Highly engaged employees create loyal customers and as a result, great financial results. This new book from David Bowles and Cary Cooper fully supports this experience with strong case studies, combined with a prescription for a more 'balanced' form of capitalism which works for everyone, not just a few.'
Dr. Pius Baschera, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Hilti Corporation, Liechtenstein
The authors have done an excellent job of laying the foundation for their thesis. There's much here that can and should be applied to the larger debate about what kind of Capitalism the U.S. should practice in the future.
- Peter Smirniotopoulos, The Huffington Post

Stanley Black & Decker Completes Acquisition of Niscayah AB
Stanley Black & Decker Inc., the largest U.S. toolmaker, completed its 7.6 billion kronor ($1.2 billion) acquisition of Niscayah AB, bolstering its presence in video surveillance and fire-alarm systems.
The purchase will generate savings of $80 million annually and may boost earnings per share by 20 cents in the first year and 45 cents in the third year, New Britain, Connecticut-based Stanley Black & Decker said today in a statement.
Stanley Black & Decker in June outbid Securitas AB, which offered $910 million. With the purchase of Stockholm-based Niscayah, Stanley Black & Decker aims to boost sales of electronic security doors and alarms in Europe.
The deal received backing by an independent committee of Niscayah's board, shareholders with about 19.5 percent of the stock and Melker Schorling AB, the second-biggest shareholder by votes in Securitas and Niscayah.
Securitas spun off three of its divisions between 2006 and 2008, including Niscayah, then called Securitas Systems.
Stanley Black & Decker already offers electronic security services in Europe. In March 2010, it bought ADT France, an acquisition that was an "indication" of its "continuing strategic intent to expand the security segment internationally," according to its annual report.

I would like to have changed this message...
... to something more general like "no input signal present", for example.
I know, this is not a real bug, but might be confusing some user because e.g. on ubuntu systems the device node is created under /dev/dv1394/.
Second reason is that this message also appears when the camcorder is simply turned off.
So, generally there is no need to check permissions on ubuntu, but just to turn on the camcorder ...
Tue, 06/26/2007 - 15:35
Hat do you think of:
Device not detected. Make sure that the camcorder is turned on. Please check that the kernel module raw1394 is loaded and that you have write permission to /dev/raw1394 or equivalent.

Hello everyone. I'm trying to use both USRP1 sides to transmit two different signals at the same time. (TX A TX B) With the latest versions of GNU Radio running on Ubuntu 12.10 i'm able to receive and transmit (receive on side A and tx on side B) at the same time but i'm not able to transmit two signals, one on side A and the other in B. I found on the web a "USRP Dual Sink" block which runs on GNU Radio 3.2.2 that comes with ubuntu 10.04. Using that block there aren't any problems and i can finally transmit this two signals at the same time. Why i can't find this block anymore on the latest versions on gnuradio? Is there a block or a configuration that can run as "USRP Dual Sink"? It seems like gnuradio dropped support for dual tx boards like USRP1, but it still sold on ettus website.. Thanks in advance for the replies.

No Man's Sky: Dutch-based company claims Hello Games used patented superformula to create game
Jul 20, 2016 | 27 Comments
Honestly, I thought we were past this fad, but in The Bureau: XCOM Declassified the phrase "you only live once" has never been more true. I guess it's true in real life as well, but that's beside the point.
Point is, 2K Games needed a way to highlight the game's permadeath feature. What better way to do so then with the obnoxious phrase? While we're used to the more serious tone of XCOM Declassified, the today's video actually provides a nice humorous counterbalance to the sad realization that one wrong decision can lead your squadmates to their permanent death... because, you know, you only live once.

You Wrote It, You Watch It is an MTV[1] sketch comedy series starring members of The State comedy troupe before they were given their own show by the network. It was hosted by Jon Stewart.[1]
The comedians performed humorous sketch recreations of letters sent to the MTV offices by viewers, depicting outrageous stories and events from their daily lives, with introductions by Stewart.
An early example of crowdsourcing, the show only lasted one season, premiering in 1992 and being canceled in 1993. Jon Stewart would later quip, "You wrote it, you just didn't watch it!"

May not get any useful info, but would like to hear the" song and dance" investor IR approved script. Sometimes, you have to listen to the sound of their voice, rather than what the voice actually has to say.
Very curious about Platinum's vote.
Sentiment: Hold
got the call--voted no. if this works in the long run it won't matter what exchange its traded on but RS can be ugly this early in the game
Was tossed around twice. A total joke. My first call to, I guess the main switch board, then a paniced response to wanting to communicate with the IR. Could not direct me straight over to IR . You would think there would be a mechanism in place at this point, and efficiently direct from one line to another, with in the company. Red flag. Have not heard from Ms. Robbinsson. I am sure she wiill divulve real and useful info to investors from her scripted and toned down info..tripled checked,... release of anything. The main swith board, said, " Wow, thisn has never happened before, such an IR request....REALLY. OK, Maybe she is new. I an still waiting with baited breadth.
So what song and dance did Ms.Olimpio give you? I wonder if it is the same rehearsed junk She gave me 18, 12 , 6 months ago.
Thanks, let us know what you find out. I agree that the R/S isn't the problem. If the trials, first the EU and then the US trial, are about to commence as stated in the last conf call, then the R/S is irrelevant to me.
It's been my assumption that everything is still on track as laid out in the conference call. What was given to investors back then was that there would be a very small EU trial to begin in "mid-Q2" (May) and wrap up in late June, with submission to the EU authorities for approval in July. Also in July start of the US trial at the same sites. No down time. Then EU approval in September; initial rollout in the EU in Q4; and the US trial wrap up in Q4, with US approval in 2014.
If all that is still in place, then people will be kicking themselves for selling here. A R/S, if there is one, would be at a much higher price, over 1.00, maybe 2.00 or more. But until the company confirms what the timetable is, I'm edgy with the stock price down here. But right now, I'm staying long.

Posted: 9:14 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 8, 2013
By Mikah Sargent
Video transcript provided by Newsy.com
As the old adage goes, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. And according to a new report from The Washington Post, that's exactly what the FBI did.
When traditional means of tracking fail or the criminal is especially skilled at evading the FBI, the bureau calls in its special team of hackers. (Via YouTube / centralvalleyreport)
A criminal by the name of "Mo" used different forms of Internet communication to issue bomb threats across the United States. The FBI was unable to identify the man and couldn't track down a location because Mo was really good at covering his tracks. The FBI had to call in its hackers. (Via The Washington Post)
The team put together a highly advanced piece of malware that was then emailed to Mo's Yahoo! mail address. Using typical phishing tactics, the FBI hoped to bait Mo into installing the software. Digital Trends gives us a quick explanation:
"The [FBI] often attempts to install malware by targeting the email addresses of those who are under investigation. Essentially, law enforcement agencies are using the same phishing techniques as spammers pushing medication supplies or looking to get into your social media accounts."
Mashable says the malware was used to send the FBI location information and browsing history, but it could also do something a little more sinister.
Typically, any time you turn on your computers webcam, an indicator light appears near the camera lens. This is a handy reminder, but it's also a privacy feature. If a third party gained access to your camera, you'd see the light.
Unless, of course, that third party was the FBI. According to the report, the bureau has ways of activating a computer's webcam without triggering the indicator light. Perhaps all those people with tape over their webcams aren't as crazy as you thought.
It's important to note the FBI doesn't just use the webcam technique on any suspect. Not only is the tactic internally reserved for the highest threats, it also requires a warrant. And Ars Technica notes the FBI doesn't always get one.
"A federal magistrate in Houston rejected an FBI request to send surveillance software to a suspect. … [The plan] was 'extremely intrusive' and could violate the Fourth Amendment curbs on searches and seizures, the magistrate said."

1. Introduction
1.1. General Information
[2] The surface veneer of volcanic rock outcrops and sediment cover at the seafloor represents a critical gateway for fluids entering and exiting the subsurface hydrothermal reservoir at mid-ocean ridges. Although the uppermost few hundreds of meters of igneous crust at the Juan de Fuca spreading center has a high porosity and presumably a high permeability [Gilbert and Johnson, 1999], previous, nonsystematic observations of the axial valley seafloor at Endeavour indicate the presence of large areas with unbroken basalt flows or nearly complete sediment cover that may limit fluid transmission between the ocean and crust. This study attempts to interpret relative seafloor permeability from a systematic seafloor imaging survey of a portion of the axial valley. Surface permeability throughout the axial valley floor is an important but largely unevaluated boundary condition for modeling fluid circulation of the axial hydrothermal systems at the Endeavour Segment and at other spreading centers.
[3] Hydrothermal fluid circulation through oceanic crust is estimated to provide ∼25% of the Earth's surface heat flux [Stein and Stein, 1994]. Understanding marine hydrothermal circulation is required to constrain the planetary heat budget and to define a system that provides energy and nutrients to chemosynthetic communities, Earth's oldest surviving ecosystem [Childress and Fisher, 1995]. Among the remaining principal undefined parameters for hydrothermal systems are the circulation pathways, depth of penetration, velocities, and residence times of fluid traveling through the subsurface. Seafloor hydrothermal systems vary widely on a global scale, and models of fluid circulation for a given system must necessarily be based on local conditions.
[4] There are currently three generalized models proposed to describe the circulation pathways of fluid in hydrothermal systems at medium-to-fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges: (1) seawater enters the subsurface along deep, normal faults at one or both edges of the axial valley and then flows across-axis to emerge as high temperature outflow in the center of the valley or on the side opposite the recharge zone [Williams et al., 1979; Johnson et al., 2010], (2) fluid circulation takes place primarily within individual faults that are oriented along-strike and parallel to the ridge axis in distinct slot convection cells [Rabinowicz et al., 1999; Wilcock, 1998; Tolstoy et al., 2008], and (3) fluid convects in a basement layer with uniformly isotropic permeability as annular rings with broad circular recharge areas surrounding narrow up-flow regions [Coumou et al., 2008; Tivey and Johnson, 2002: Johnson et al., 2010]. Each of these models appears to be applicable for specific hydrothermal vent systems located on spreading centers within a different geological environment. While these models have utilized a wide range of data types and boundary conditions, the potential for the possible influence of the permeability of the surficial seafloor has not been considered, due largely to the lack of appropriate data.
[5] A novel method for estimating seafloor surface permeability is the use of high-resolution photomosaics constructed from video footage taken during remotely operated vehicle (ROV) transects over a large area of the seafloor. Although multibeam swath bathymetry and side-scan sonar data are useful for identifying features on a scale of tens to hundreds of meters, visual observations from submersibles and photomosaics from remote cameras are required for accurately identifying the location and lateral extent of hydrothermal and volcanic features on the scale of 10−1 to 10+2 m [Robigou et al., 1993; Escartín et al., 2008]. As examples, Lessard-Pilon et al. [2010] used photomosaic images of cold seep communities in the Gulf of Mexico to describe changes in environmental conditions over small spatial and temporal scales and described how the composition of associated biological communities responded to these changes. Mittelstaedt et al. [2012] quantified the heat flux from diffuse and discrete venting using photomosaics and video velocity analysis of outflow at the Lucky Strike hydrothermal field on the Mid-Atlantic ridge. Temporal changes in heat flux in this study were quantified using analysis of the spatial extent of bacterial mats and proximity to faults. The Lucky Strike study utilized specialized software to create extensive photomosaics of the seafloor with a precision sufficient for accurate comparison of images obtained separated by several years [Barreyre et al., 2012]. The present project utilizes photomosaic interpretive techniques to study the seafloor of the Raven portion of the Endeavour Segment of the Juan de Fuca spreading ridge (Figure 1).
1.2. Endeavour Background
[6] The axial magma lens beneath the Endeavour Segment has been imaged seismically as a midcrustal reflector 2.1–2.4 km below the seafloor that underlies all of the known hydrothermal vent fields [Van Ark et al., 2007; Wilcock et al., 2009; Kelley et al., 2012]. The zone of partial melt beneath the Endeavour Segment extends approximately 24 km along-axis and 0.4–1.2 km across-axis, with the nonhorizontal upper surface dipping to the east with slopes that vary from 8° to 36° [Van Ark et al., 2007]. Episodic replenishment of melt occurs along the Endeavour magma lens, providing the periodically renewed heat source previously suggested as a requirement for long-lived, extensive hydrothermal circulation systems [Wilcock et al., 2009; Liu and Lowell, 2009].
[7] Seismic velocities for the axial portion of Layer 2A at the Endeavour Segment are exceptionally low, in some areas approaching 1.8 km/s [Van Ark et al., 2007], suggesting a very high porosity of up to 30% for the uppermost 350 m of basalt [Nedimović et al., 2008]. The immediately underlying 2B layer on axis has an average seismic velocity near 5.2 km/s [Newman et al., 2011]. Upper crustal densities based on seafloor gravity measurements at the axis are also quite low, supporting a high subsurface porosity of >30% for the uppermost crust at the Juan de Fuca Ridge [Holmes and Johnson, 1993; Gilbert and Johnson, 1999]. For fluid flow estimates, we used the established correlation between seismic velocity and permeability for upper crust from Carlson [2011]
along with average measured seismic velocities of 2.5 km/s in Layer 2A at Endeavour from Nedimović et al. [2008] to estimate uppermost crustal permeability ranging from 2 × 10−10 to 2.5 × 10−12 m2 assuming no additional uncertainty in seismic velocity. Similarly estimated permeability for the underlying Layer 2B was lower on axis at 7.9 × 10−13 to 4.0 × 10−15 m2 also assuming no additional uncertainty in seismic velocity from Newman et al. [2011]. The resulting general model for circulation includes a highly permeable upper layer overlying a relatively low permeability layer of dikes or altered transition zone material. In contrast to the upper crustal layers of extrusive lavas, the composite hemipelagic sediment and fine-grained turbidites common to the Juan de Fuca Ridge flank have a significantly lower permeability, ranging from 10−15 to 10−18 m2 [Giambalvo et al., 2000]. Comparatively, at the Mid-Atlantic ridge flank, in situ sediment permeability at shallow burial depths (<3 m) was measured at 7.55 × 10−16 [Langseth et al., 1992]. Due to the small thermal buoyancy forces driving fluid circulation on the ridge flanks, and the low permeability of sediments on the ridge flanks, only minimal fluid seepage has been reported for sediment layers less than tens of meters thick [Giambalvo et al., 2000; Spinelli et al., 2004; Hutnak et al., 2006].
[8] Additional constraints for hydrothermal fluid circulation pathways at the axis of the Endeavour Segment were proposed by Johnson et al. [2010] using a series of bare-rock conductive heat flow measurements across the axial valley. This heat flow data suggested that multiple circulation modes may exist simultaneously at the nearby Main Endeavour Field. The high temperature vents were supplied by a deeply circulating pathway that extended from the initial seawater recharge sites at the base of the eastern valley wall to the high temperature discharge sites at the base of the western wall. A secondary system is located in shallow crust above the deep high temperature circulation system, and that seawater recharge zone is located far closer to the low temperature diffuse outflow zones that surround the high temperature emission sites [Lowell et al., 2007, 2012]. In the interest of improving hydrothermal circulation models at mid-ocean ridge systems, additional parameters for the control of fluid flow should be considered. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of regional sediment cover and intact basalt flows over a portion of the axial valley in the Endeavour Segment of the Juan de Fuca ridge.

Marist alums in latest ESCC Hall of Fame class
Marist alumni Gary Kostrubala and Tony Evensen will be among the 12 newest inductees into the East Suburban Catholic Conference Hall of Fame.
The induction ceremony will take place on Thursday, April 10, at Crystal Sky Banquet Hall in McCook. Nine individuals will enter the Hall, along with Joliet Catholic Academy's 1994 baseball and 2004 football state championship squads and Notre Dame's 2004 baseball titlist team.
Kostrubala brought a pair of gold medals back to Mount Greenwood in the spring of 1982, when he returned from the state track meet as a champion in both the shot put and discus events. Less than a full year later, it was Evensen's turn, as he became Illinois' best wrestler at 138 pounds in February of 1983.
Former Carmel football players Jack Simmons and Mark Venegoni, former Marian Catholic basketball player Adam Savick, Benet Academy boys' golf coach Dan Nagis, Benet girls' basketball coach Peter Paul, St. Viator boys' golf coach Jack Halpin and ESCC girls' basketball officials assignor John Dacey round out the list of Hall of Fame newcomers.
Tickets to the event are $50 and may be purchased through any ESCC member school's athletic department. For more information, visit www.eastsuburbancc.com or contact Mike Hennessey at (847) 779-8652.

LeifAug 13, 2004I liked this movie - not as much as the first anatomy, though. I disagree that the movie is uninventionally funny - Was it funny? sure, I thought so. I don't think that in a wierd, strange movie like this it is easy to judge if the fun is interntional or not. I liked both anatomy 1 and anatomy 2 for being wierd, chilli, funny and total non-sense.
Where the first film was something of a teen horror film, the follow-up, again from writer-director Stefan Ruzowitzky, is more of an unintentional comedy.
German filmmaker Stefan Ruzowitzky sticks to the formula that made his 2000 thriller Anatomie a German hit, offering up a whos who of young German stars and plunging them into hot-and-cold color schemes, freewheeling camera work and diabolical master-race conspiracies. If Ruzowitzky were as good a storyteller as he is a stylist, hed have something.

The way TV series are franchised out these days never ceases to amaze us. There are currently three different "CSI" shows on CBS, two "NCIS" programs, and now a second "Criminal Minds" is starting. That's a whole lot of television. We're not suggesting it's wrong, we're just amazed by it. Forest Whitaker leads the cast of this "Criminal Minds" spinoff which focuses on an elite BAU squad with 'unconventional' methods of going about getting the bad guy (or gal).

Roof cleaning
Roof cleaning is the process to remove algae[1] mold, mildew, lichen and moss from roofs.[2]Roof cleaning can extend the duration of a roof's ability to function.[2] Algae and other types of build-up often form on the north and west parts of roofs that are shaded or receive less sun, and can reduce a roof's life expectancy.[2] The presence of soot, dirt, or biomass can affect how much sunlight is absorbed by a roof and thus the amount of heat a building absorbs.[3] Cleaning may be accomplished with a bleach or vinegar solution, various cleaning products or commercial cleaning services. The addition of zinc strips near the roof's peak may reduce the regrowth of algae and moss. However, do not mix bleach and vinegar.
Cleaning apparatus[edit]
Roof cleaning devices may use high-pressure water spray and revolving brushes, and some may have extensions to enable their use from the ground.[4] Roof cleaning devices exist that may minimize the spread of airborne radioactive materials (in contaminated areas) and other harmful materials, such as asbestos.[4] Specialized robots have been designed to facilitate cleaning roofs.[5]

Tuition & Financial Aid at University of Phoenix - Online:

{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
What's so inviting about the University of Phoenix is that the administration explains the financial aid process before students enroll and encourages students to complete all applications prior to classes. This helps students so that they are not put in the middle of classes like traditional schools and are able to start at the start of classes. A FAFSA application for government assistance or grants is a crucial component to the financial aid process because not everyone can afford a higher learning degree. For more information on how to maximize a government grant with the FAFSA application, visit the Web site at: www.finaid.org/FAFSA/maximize/phtm.
Enrollment counselors are also a good resource in figuring out how to pay for school. The enrollment counselor can help students complete a portion of the enrollment and financial aid process. If all else fails, students can complete it themselves at the FAFSA government financial aid Web site, but the experience the first time around might be intimidating, so an enrollment counselor could help a student out and take him or her through the process step by step.

Surprisingly, 51% of the vehicle owners surveyed said they own a smart phone. Not surprisingly, 77% of those owners said they are interested in wireless connectivity for their vehicles and 56% said they were interested in mobile routers.
To Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood's dismay, 30% of smart phone owners said they text or check email while in their vehicles. Forty percent said they'd like to have an in-vehicle system that reads email aloud or sends texts to a display screen.
Smart phone users, in other words, dislike being disconnected from their LCD-screen babies while driving and want a way to route as many features as possible through the car. With 40% already using a smart phone for directions and 20% for music — not to mention the growing ubiquity of the devices — the evolution of new technologies that allow driver interaction with even more features like text and email seems inevitable.

Last year, three senior Church of England clerics warned that hedge fund managers were risking eternal damnation with their greed. But on further reflection—and with an eye on their own bottom line—the church is singing a significantly different hymn.
The Anglican Church has joined the chorus of concern about the European Union's proposed hedge fund regulations. But the church isn't simply looking out for its flock—the overwhelming majority of the European hedge fund industry is based in London—but for itself.
"We are concerned that the directive as currently drafted will significantly restrict our ability to generate funds to pursue our charitable missions and thus reduce our impact for public good," the church's commissioners, including Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote to the British House of Lords' EU select committee. "Maximizing the returns on our investment portfolios is an essential part of delivering our foundations' missions, for the benefit of society."
In particular, the Anglican leaders said they were worried about proposals that could restrict it and other European investors to funds domiciled in the EU exclusively and possible leverage limits.
While the church's top officials were castigating short-sellers as "bank robbers and asset strippers" and hedge fund managers for the "grabbing of things in the world," its own portfolio was taking a nosedive. The Financial Times reports that the Anglican Church's investments lost almost 23% last year, a loss of more than £1 billion (US$1.6 billion).

Little Known Secrets Of Window Tinting
If you're considering getting some window tinting, whether it be for your home, car or office, then there are a series of points you should be aware of to ensure you make the right choice for your particular environment and situation.
The number one and undoubtedly the most important thing you need to understand about window film is the difference between good window film and poor film. Here's why: Good quality window film will last for the lifetime of your windows but bad quality window film will barely last a few years, depending on the rigours of your environment.
So how do you discriminate between premium quality and poor quality film if you arent a professional? The simple answer is price and guarantee. When talking to a supplier, find out how long the film is guaranteed for. If it's not at least 12 years save yourself the pain. And also beware of the shady operator who offers you a guarantee on cheap film and hikes the price, to make it seem like it's good film, but will either not be around, or simply do nothing if you get back to them because your tint has degraded.
Here's the tip, (and by the way I've found this to be true with most things in life), if your only motivation in getting quotes is looking for the lowest possible price, then you will naturally find yourself with the poor product and the real price you pay will be in around 3 years when your windows start to blister, fade and/or peel and look ghastly. Be warned, the cheapest price is usually just crap!
There are a range of benefits you can get from window tinting, and each particular film you use will bring together some of these advantages, so the first thing you need to identify is the most important reason for applying window tint in your situation. Lets look at each advantage in a little more detail so you can more fully the most applicable solution for your environment.
The main benefits of good quality window tinting are:
Heat Rejection: Premium window film rejects heat by blocking up to 73% of Total Solar Energy through windows. That's cool!
UV Rejection: Good quality window film eradicates up to 99% of IR radiation from coming through windows. And as a bonus, it also blocks 93% of glare, which massively improves for your view and means things look really cool!
Privacy: The right film will also provide daytime privacy, allowing everyone inside to remain cool, enjoy the views, and at the same time have total privacy from onlookers in daylight.
Impact Safety and Security Films: These specialist films stop glass from breaking on impact. Safety films are designed to withstand the force of human impact, while security films can withstand an explosion without shattering. Since the collateral damage from accidents where windows are broken comes from shards of glass spraying like shrapnel, or large sections of glass falling like a guillotine, the major risks around safety are mitigated. It also stops your windows from becoming a soft and easy entry point for thieves, because both the impact and noise required to gain entry is so noticeable burglars would rather just move on in search of an easier, 'softer' victim.
Lastly there's the matter of style: Good quality window film also makes windows look cool; and for many people it's the aesthetic charm that tinted windows provide that is the primary driver for installing them.
The next point I want to discuss is relevant to vehicles and it concerns installing the darkest legal tint on your car, truck or work vehicle. Depending on where you live, the darkest legal tint legally allowed on a vehicle is one with a VLT (visible light transmission) level of 35%, on all vehicle windows (excluding the front windscreen, which cannot have any window tint with the exception of the visor strip across the top). The northern Territory and Western Australia are the only exceptions. In the NT you are legally permitted a minimum VLT of 16% for windows behind the driver; and in WA you are allowed 20% VLT on windows behind the driver. So here's the critical point. Most vehicles already have a slight tint in the glass in the front windows, so this needs to be taken into consideration when adding tint to a window. Here's how the maths looks. If your windows already block 30% of light, when a film with the "darkest legal tint" of 35% is added to this window, it will emit only 35% of light into a window that is already only emitting 70% of light, so the end VLT will be impacted by the combination of both VLT ratings.
This is really important because if a driver accidentally fails to comply with tinting regulations, the result can be a fine. But worse still, if a vehicle is involved in an accident and its illegally dark windows are considered by the court to be a contributing factor, this could mean the nulling of your insurance policy, leaving you exposed to the full financial implications of the accident. Furthermore criminal charge could apply if property is damaged or people are injured.
The final thing to consider is that by modifying a vehicle with darker than legal windows, the vehicle is deemed unroadworthy, which means the driver can't drive the car again until it has been put through the pits, in which case the illegal tint will have to be removed. That's why the combined VLT of both the glass and film really should be considered when you're selecting the appropriate tint for your car.
So what's the moral of this story? When it comes to window tinting, make sure you use a good quality product and that your installer has the expertise to be able to offer you the best solution for your circumstances. That way you'll end up with a range of benefits, rather than a series of problems. And if you are looking for residential window tinters in Perth, get a quote from Precision Window Tinting.

No-Knead Crusty White Bread
Print This Recipe
I've made this recipe a bunch of times in the last few months, it is so easy and so good! Don't be scared by the long instructions, it's actually not many steps and there's only a few minutes of hands-on time.
Each batch makes 3-4 loaves, depending on how large you make them, and you can shape them into rounds or a loaf shape. When the bread is fresh from the oven, the outside is crusty and the inside is soft and it just screams for a good butter. Or balsamic and olive oil. Or really anything! Since I couldn't eat the entire loaf right away, I ended up slicing it, flash freezing each slice, then freezing everything and pulling slices out as I needed them.
One of the great things about this recipe is that you can easily add different mix-ins to customize your loaves. So far, I've added cheddar and jalapeños, but I have plans to add cinnamon-sugar next. There are so many flavor possibilities here!
***Before you start, you'll want to read all of King Arthur Flour's tips, because they're super important and will make the whole process even easier.
3 cups lukewarm water (about 105 F)
6 1/2 to 7 1/2 cups (32 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons instant or active dry yeast
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, or a large (6-quart), food-safe plastic bucket.
- Mix and stir everything together to make a very sticky, rough dough. If you have a stand mixer, beat at medium speed with the beater blade for 30 to 60 seconds. If you don't have a mixer, just stir-stir-stir with a big spoon or dough whisk until everything is combined.
- Next, you're going to let the dough rise. If you've made the dough in a plastic bucket, you're all set — just let it stay there, covering the bucket with a lid or plastic wrap; a shower cap actually works well here. If you've made the dough in a bowl that's not at least 6-quart capacity, transfer it to a large bowl; it's going to rise a lot. There's no need to grease the bowl, though you can if you like; it makes it a bit easier to get the dough out when it's time to bake bread.
- Cover the bowl or bucket, and let the dough rise at room temperature for 2 hours. Then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or for up to about 7 days. (If you're pressed for time, skip the room-temperature rise, and stick it right into the fridge). The longer you keep it in the fridge, the tangier it'll get; if you chill it for 7 days, it will taste like sourdough. Over the course of the first day or so, it'll rise, then fall. That's OK; that's what it's supposed to do.
- When you're ready to make bread, sprinkle the top of the dough with flour; this will make it easier to grab a hunk. Grease your hands, and pull off about 1/4 to 1/3 of the dough — a 14-ounce to 19-ounce piece, if you have a scale. It'll be about the size of a softball, or a large grapefruit.
Plop the sticky dough onto a floured work surface, and round it into a ball, or a longer log. Don't fuss around trying to make it perfect; just do the best you can.
- Place the loaf on a piece of parchment (if you're going to use a baking stone); or onto a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Sift a light coating of flour over the top; this will help keep the bread moist as it rests before baking.
- Let the loaf warm to room temperature and rise; this should take about 60 minutes (or longer, up to a couple of hours, if your house is cool). It won't appear to rise upwards that much; rather, it'll seem to settle and expand. Preheat your oven to 450°F while the loaf rests. If you're using a baking stone, position it on a middle rack while the oven preheats. Place a shallow metal or cast iron pan (not glass, Pyrex, or ceramic) on the lowest oven rack, and have 1 cup of hot water ready to go.
- When you're ready to bake, take a sharp knife and slash the bread 2 or 3 times, making a cut about 1/2″ deep. The bread may deflate a bit; that's OK, it'll pick right up in the hot oven.
Place the bread in the oven — onto the baking stone, if you're using one, or simply onto a middle rack, if it's on a pan — and carefully pour the 1 cup hot water into the shallow pan on the rack beneath. It'll bubble and steam; close the oven door quickly.
- Bake the bread for 25 to 35 minutes, until it's a deep, golden brown.
- Remove the bread from the oven, and cool it on a rack. Store leftover bread in a plastic bag at room temperature.

Chocolate Glazed TartPrint This Recipe
Every year for Thanksgiving, I made apple pie and of course, something with pumpkin. This year, we added a chocolate dessert to the menu and it was pretty amazing. While this tart has a lot of steps, it's easy to put together and the finished product is a stunner. It's moist, very rich, and super chocolaty, so you'll want to make sure to cut slices thin!
I wish I had a better photo, but it was taken in a rush!
9 (5- by 2 1/4-inch) chocolate graham crackers (not chocolate-covered), finely ground (1 cup)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate (not more than 65% cacao if marked), chopped
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon heavy cream
1 3/4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon warm water
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
Stir together all ingredients and press evenly onto bottom and 3/4 inch up side of tart pan. Bake until firm, about 10 minutes. Cool on a rack 15 to 20 minutes
Bring cream to a boil, then pour over chocolate in a bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Gently stir until smooth. Whisk together eggs, vanilla, and salt in another bowl, then stir into melted chocolate.
Pour filling into cooled crust. Bake until filling is set about 3 inches from edge but center is still wobbly, 20 to 25 minutes. (Center will continue to set as tart cools.) Cool completely in pan on rack, about 1 hour.
Bring cream to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until smooth. Stir in corn syrup, then warm water.
Pour glaze onto tart, then tilt and rotate tart so glaze coats top evenly. Let stand until glaze is set, about 1 hour.

Candy Corn Cookies & Brach's GiveawayPrint This Recipe
I love, love, love, candy corn. So when Brach's reached out asking if I'd like to bake something using candy corn, I immediately said yes! They sent me a HUGE box of a bunch of different flavors, but because I'm a purist, I baked with the Mini Candy Corn. Did you know they also make Fruit Crèmes, Peanut Butter, Caramel Macchiato, and Pumpkin Spice? So many choices!
I decided to make cookies using a not terribly sweet sugar cookie base, and they turned out delicious. The candy corn melted and got gooey, and the cookies were amazing, especially while warm. The thing to keep in mind with this recipe is to add the candy corn to the dough balls, making sure the candy is tucked into the dough and not touching the cookie sheet.
1 1/3 cup butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup mini candy corn (or cut regular candy corn in half-ish)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes with a stand mixer. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until very well combined.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until combined and the dough comes together.
Use a cookie scoop to drop balls of dough on the prepared baking sheet, about 1-inch apart. Tuck candy corn into dough, making sure the candy does not touch the cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 minutes or until edges are golden and tops are just slightly underdone looking.
Cool for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Yields 4-5 dozen.

Giveaway open to U.S. residents only.
Disclosure: I received a huge box of candy corn from Brach's because they are awesome!
How to Clean Glass Bakeware
When I got my first apartment after moving out of the dorm, my parents gave me random kitchen things from their house–pots and pans, glasses, mismatched mugs, mixing bowls, and baking dishes. Over the years, I replaced everything with matching sets, but the Pyrex dishes always stayed, even after receiving sparkling new ones.
As I was rearranging my cabinets (side note: I need a lid organizer), I pulled out my old baking dishes and wondered if there was a way to get rid of the gunk from baking spray that wouldn't come off, no matter how much I scrubbed. I quickly took to Pinterest given how effective the baking sheet cleaner was, and came across a simple hack: Magic Erasers and a little elbow grease.
Surprise, it totally worked! They really are magic!
I get my Magic Erasers at Costco because I use them for everything (did you know they work on tile grout too?), and I found the kitchen eraser worked best. Also, I cut mine in half since I feel like I get more control that way, and the ends get used the most.
What are your favorite uses for Magic Erasers?

In ancient Sanskrit writings, the Brahmastra (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मास्त्र, IAST: Brahmāstra) was a weapon created by Brahma. The Brahmashirsha astra and Brahmanda astra were similar weapons, created to be even more powerful.
Since Brahma is considered the Creator in Sanatana Dharma, it is believed by Hindus that Brahmastra was created by him for the purpose of upholding Dharma and Satya, to be used by anyone who wished to destroy an enemy who would also happen to be a part of his (Brahma's) creation.[citation needed] The target, when hit by Brahmastra, would be utterly destroyed.[1]
In the Ramayana, a Brahmastra is used by Shri Rama several times: once against Jayanta when he hurt Sita, against Mareecha in their last encounter, and finally the Brahmastra was used in the last battle with the Asura emperor Ravana.[2]
Brahmanda Astra[edit]
In some texts it is called Brahma-dhanda astra, the weapon created by Saptarishi's to counter any weapon ever created, even that of Trimurti's. The rishi of this weapon is Para Brahman. It is said to be the most difficult astra to obtain. Capable of destroying entire multiverse in a blink of an eye. Vishvamitra used all kinds of divine weapons against sage Vashistha, even Pashupatastra, but the Brahma-dhanda astra of Vashistha neutralized and swallowed all astra (weapon) of Vishwamitra proving that Brahma-dhanda astra is the most powerful of all astra's.
