Interserve Rises After Announcing Higher Dividend: London Mover
Interserve Plc rose in London as the U.K. builder and provider of services from training to cleaning announced higher pretax profit, raised its dividend and said it will expand in Latin America and the Middle East.
Interserve climbed 3.5 percent to 335.2 pence, the biggest advance since July 10. The company increased its dividend by 6.7 percent to 6.4 pence per share, "reflecting our confidence in the medium-term outlook," it said in a statement today. Pretax profit advanced 8.3 percent to 32.6 million pounds ($51 million) on "strong" support services growth.
Interserve, which was involved in projects for the London Olympic Games including the aquatic center, reiterated its guidance for stable performance this year and said it will continue to develop internationally. It operates in Middle East countries including Oman, Qatar and Dubai, as well as Latin America and is now looking at Brazil.
"We're in Chile and in Panama and we export into one or two other territories in Latin America but clearly our focus is in Spanish speaking Latin America," Chief Executive Officer Adrian Ringrose said on a conference call. "Brazil is a possibility. It is clearly slightly different, but the scale of the market is one that we cannot ignore and we are not ignoring."
Public sector services
The company's sales climbed 2.8 percent to 1.21 billion pounds in the first six months. Interserve won more than 1.4 billion pounds of work in the period, with 800 million pounds from support services, 500 million pounds from construction and 100 million pounds from equipment services. For next year, the company has 1.1 billion pounds of work.
Interserve has expanded into India, Singapore, Chile and Panama in the last couple of years, Ringrose said,
Panama's economy is projected to expand 7.5 percent in 2012, making it the second straight year that Panama would lead Latin America in growth, according to the International Monetary Fund.
The Brazilian government plans measures including investment in roads, ports and airports to spur the largest emerging-market economy after China, President Dilma Rousseff said in July. Brazil's economy will grow 1.8 percent this year, according to the latest central bank survey.
U.K. Services
The company's U.K. support services unit derives about 65 percent of its revenue from the public sector and 35 percent from the private sector and expects the breakdown to remain at the same levels, Ringrose said on the call. The division's projects include support for the U.K. Department of Work and Pensions welfare programs and work with the U.K. Ministry of Justice for outsourced prison services.
"The underlying economics of the government situation remains very, very challenging," Ringrose said.
Interserve revenue in the U.K. construction division rose by 0.4 percent in the first six months of 2012, as the company focused on small projects and on clients that have repeated business requirements.
"This strategy has served us pretty well," Ringrose said.
Britain's economy shrank 0.7 percent in the three months through June, the third straight quarter of contraction.
"One can never stop worrying about a business," Ringrose said. "We could be in a lot worse place than we are. It's a fairly challenging market backdrop."

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Vitale, a Joie de Vivre hotel San Francisco
The Hotel Vitale is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in - I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. I stayed in one of the circular rooms with the 270 degree view of the bay. There is a yoga studio on the roof with complimentary yoga classes as well as a spa. You can also request to have a bath drawn for you. The bed is extremely comfortable - I had a great night sleep. The service is outstanding. The hotel is also pet friendly (there is even a pet massage).
Disappearing belongings
I booked the hotel for four nights, from March 11 to March 15. The room I was given was quite nice, except for the fact that it was designed for folks with disabilities and had no bathtub.
Since I arrived only three days after the hotel had opened, I expected there would be some problems, but the problem I encountered was not excusable.
On the last night of my stay. I arrived back at the hotel at 6:00 p.m., went to my room, inserted the key card in the door, tried to open the door, and found another person in the room. When I asked her what she was doing in my room, she said she had just checked in and was given this room. I pointed out that I had been staying in the room for the past three nights and asked if I could look for my clothes and other belongings. She agreed and what I found was that most of my things had disappeared except for some items(medicines) in a drawer. I immediately called the front desk to ask for an explanation and they were clueless.
I went down to the front desk and threatened to call the police unless they produced my things in five minutes. Well, it took more than five minutes, but they did produce my suitcase which was "stuffed" with my clothing. The explanation I was given was that they thought I was leaving! The manager appeared and she put me up in a nice suite and promised to comp my stay. Whether that will be done remains to be seen.
While the manager's response was satisfactory and she was quite apologetic, what happened was unacceptable. I had a written confirmation for a four night stay. My clothing and other personal articles were removed from the room without my permission. I was able to enter a room which had been assigned to another guest. What if I had been a criminal or sexual pervert?
In all of my years of traveling and my work takes me all over the world, I have never had such an experience nor should any guest at a hotel have this kind of experience. It is clear that the housekeeping and management staff were not yet ready to receive paying guests. Hopefully, they have gotten their act together.
Why do the people in the offices look at me?
While hotel is lovely, the rooms are a bit expensive for the side of the building with no real view. I picked the least expensive room not knowing and only going on price as "there isn't a bad room here" and "all rooms have a view". Yeah right! The place looks wonderful and the staff is very helpful, however the people in the office building can see you and wave. The rooms are a little dark requiring the use of lamps even during daylight hours (not very progressive for San Francisco's style).
Overall, I would say its a lot of style but no real substance and at the price it isn't worth it. There are too many hotels in the area. Maybe the room with the view of the water. Hmmm....
Waterfront Luxury
Upscale elegance - amazing location - awesome tubs and view. The decks off the suites upstairs give a view of the Ferry Building, Bay Bridge, and the waterfront. Nice spa tubs, great chef, originally from Rubicon and Belon, fantastic lounge....swanky but not snooty or uptight like some of the other boutique hoteleries...
The rooms have flat screens in them, nice bedding, great furniture. Very modern but comfortable design. Very personable staff. LOVE IT!
If you like the very best you will like the Hotel Vitale!
March 28,2005
Written by : New York City Family who frequently travel and now count the Hotel Vitale among our top ten favorite hotels!
We decided to take a chance this vacation and skip our usual fine S.F. Hotel to
try the brand new Hotel Vitale. We are so glad we did and highly recommend this hotel to singles,couples and families. The lobby invites socializing with its couches and lobby level inviting restaurant . The rooms provide a serene and elegant environment with luxurious beds,flat screen TVs,limestone bathrooms offering comfortable couches/seating,upscale amenities, and in some rooms fabulous water and bridge views. We had a hard time leaving the luxury of our rooms to tour S.F. and an even harder time leaving this jewel of a hotel. A small but properly equipped gym for workouts, a rooftop terrace to enjoy the outdoors, and a well run spa with highly skilled staff ( and yes we are demanding), provide you every reason to allow yourself time to enjoy this hotel. The" new" Ferry building across the street is fun to explore as well and one can walk along the water to the wharf or just for enjoyment. The Management cares about providing flawless service to their guests,staff are friendly and clearly try to please. An initial inconvenience at check in due to the inexperience of the staff was properly made up for. Considering how new this hotel is we were impressed in every way and can't wait to return! this hotel is definitely the place to stay now in San Francisco!
A must for San Fran
Well, dont miss this one! I visit San Fran from Australia regularly and have stayed at all the 4-4.5 star hotels in town over the years. The Hotel Vitale is divine. Ideally located across from the ferry building-which now offers Fantastic dinning (The Slanted door, Market Bar, Hog Island Oyster Co.) A great Farmers market at the weekend and more.
A short walk to the financial district. The rooms are beautiful Superb Decor, beds to die for, soft throws, great robes flat screen TV. I joined the JDV hospitality Experience rewards loyalty program which usually gets you a complimentary upgrade. There is free Wi Fi. They are currently running grand opening specials For Business or pleasure this is my number one choice
The new Hotel Vitale
We arrived just four days after this new hotel, at the foot of Mission St at the Embarcadero opened. Needless to say the "systems" weren't yet fine tuned, the computer was a bit slow, and lobby furniture was being rearranged. This was more than compensated for by a friendly staff, trying to be very helpful, large rooms with sleek modern furnishings and amenities, and great views of the bay and Bay Bridge. The beds are comfortable, and the lighting is good. It's a 15 minute walk to Union Square, but a great location for runners, with easy access to the Embarcadero.
The icing on the cake, with regard to service: My wife always travels with her own pillow. We checked out late, in a rush, on the way to a wedding and left it behind. Three days later it showed up at our home by priority mail.
Truly Wonderful.
I recently stayed at Hotel Vitale and loved every minute. Great location. Friendly Staff. Spacious Room with a Comfortable bed. I am seriously thinking of mimicing the design style for my own bedroom. And you have to love the complimentary Fresh products.
Relax at the New Hotel Vitale!
We stayed at Hotel Vitale on their opening night! Excellent Service and
THE most comfortable beds/linens made our stay so pleasant. We did not have time for the spa or soaking tubs on the roof but will definitely try them
on our next visit.
Just across from the newly renovated Ferry Building/ Organic Farmer's Market, Restaurants, Cafes, coffeehouse, bakery,.....Foodies' dream world.
Do not need car---hotel is just beside BART and MUNI (SF's wonderful public transport)
Expensive overnight parking.
Even though it is at the heart of the Embarcadero, the rooms were
very tranquil and I didn't wake up because of the street noise like I have before at Union Square.
It is the most beautiful hotel in SF
JDV did a beautiful job on this outstanding hotel! You could not ask for anything more in the hotel!
The beds were better than a Westin heavenly bed. The amenities, well they were so good, I went on line and bought some.
I was so lucky to be 1 of the first guests to stay at the Hotel Vitale, and let me say, they had all the bugs out before they even opened, you normally don't find this anywhere else.
Can't wait for my next stay there

Minnesotans elected Floyd B. Olson as the state's first Farmer-Labor party governor in 1930, during the height of the Great Depression. During this tough time, thousands of people across the country were out of work, dealing with bread lines, and losing their farms to foreclosure. MN90 producer Marisa Helms introduces us to Floyd B.

wait wait wait. we run parties at sci-fi and gaming conventions... some of which you feature on wiki. I am not looking for promotion, just acknowledgment, seriously it takes alot of work entertaining 13,000++ people a year. I don't even have a website because I never really wanted to be "promoted" I just thought that after the weekend i could easily update the page and even add photos to inform people.... I will admit I allowed an odd name for my group, but come on pally?
Look, keep an eye on my page and if i put up anything false and or derogatory... Hell ban me! I'll make sure even when I switch ISP###s I alert you I am doing so so ya can ban me. seriously i was just trying to get information out. I wouldn't want promoted for the life of anything. I don't need the type of hassle, I had a myspace page, next thing you know I got 3,000 people showing up for a convention (on top of the 2,500 already there... and I can't handle a crowd that size, my booze budget alone is an average of $3,500.00 and I get most of it through military friends who purchase through their local PX just so I can stretch the dollars and not pay the taxes. I really ask you reconsider.

You should not be writing about something with which you are personally involved. Besides, it started off saying "Horny-Guy Will's Raging Hard-on is a group of drunken morons who love to drink and fornicate. good times, good people, earthy aromas" did you seriously think that would ever be seen as acceptable, this is a serious encyclopedia, not some joke site--Jac16888Talk 11:12, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

U.S. Touts Its Scam Efforts
WASHINGTON—The Justice Department said Monday that it has charged hundreds of people in criminal and civil financial-fraud cases, as part of a stepped-up effort to stop scams targeting individual investors.
The Justice Department grouped the cases together under the name "Operation Broken Trust," but many of the cases were in progress before that operation started in August. In all, officials said that between Aug. 16 and Dec. 1 they have indicted 158 defendants and secured convictions of 104 individuals.
Monday's announcement comes as federal agencies and the Obama administration are facing pressure to punish big-name companies and individuals for their role in the financial crisis. So far, the U.S. has won few high-profile cases, compared with the aftermath of the savings-and-loan crisis and the dot-com bust.
"Some cases make big headlines; some perpetrators are high-profile. Many of the cases today do not share those characteristics," Securities and Exchange Commission Enforcement Chief Robert Khuzami said at a news conference at the Justice Department to announce the results of the probe.
The cases highlighted Monday mainly targeted what officials said were fraud figures and Ponzi-scheme operators around the country who victimized the elderly and other vulnerable people with pump-and-dump and other scams.
Officials said the schemes harmed more than 120,000 people and that criminals stole thousands and sometimes millions of dollars from victims. The losses from just the criminal cases total $8.3 billion, while losses from the civil cases amount to $2.1 billion.
"These are staggering, staggering numbers," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said at the news conference.
Victims, in many cases, were preyed upon by people they knew well, including their neighbors or members of their church, officials said.
Mr. Khuzami said scams targeting individual investors are on the rise "as more and more people look to third parties to invest their money through intermediaries, money managers and the like."
Already, 87 defendants have been sentenced for wrongdoing uncovered by the probe, with several people receiving sentences of more than 20 years. One person was sentenced to 85 years behind bars, Mr. Holder said. Meanwhile, civil charges have been filed against 189 people.
FBI Executive Assistant Director Shawn Henry, speaking at the news conference, said officials also aimed to put the public on alert. "The American people need to understand the threat that they face and their responsibility to remain vigilant," he said.
President Obama set up an interagency task force in November 2009 to investigate financial fraud. Officials across the U.S. government, including from the U.S. Postal Service, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the SEC and the Internal Revenue Service, coordinated.
Mr. Henry said 48 out of the FBI's 56 field offices across the country were involved in the sweep. He added the number of FBI agents assigned to securities-fraud cases has increased nearly 50% during the past three years. Since January 2009, the FBI has opened more than 200 Ponzi-scheme cases, he said.

Poland May Cut 2013 GDP Growth Target to 1.5%-2%
Poland's government may cut its 2013 economic-growth forecast to as low as 1.5 percent due to the euro region's contraction, said Dariusz Filar, an economic adviser to Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
While Poland faces "no risk of recession," the government may need to "adjust" its forecast for growth next year to 1.5 percent to 2 percent, down from a preliminary estimate of 2.9 percent, as the currency bloc's debt crisis intensifies and "recession spreads across the euro countries," Filar said in an interview in Warsaw yesterday.
Ludwik Kotecki, the Finance Ministry's chief economist, said last week the government may lower its 2012 growth forecast at the end of this month. The government approved a draft 2013 budget in June that assumed growth will accelerate to 2.9 percent from 2.5 percent this year. Eight of the 17 euro nations are in recession, while the euro-area manufacturing gauge fell to a 37-month low of 44 last month from 45.1 in June, an Aug. 1 report by London-based Markit Economics showed.
"Continuous hints from the government about a significant slowdown may eventually convince the central bank to cut rates," Ernest Pytlarczyk, head of financial markets research at BRE Bank SA in Warsaw, said by phone today. "Slower growth makes fiscal policy more difficult and could change investors' positive attitude toward Poland, although I don't see this happening before the final months of this year."
Slowest Pace
In May, Poland's central bank raised its main rate by a quarter-point to 4.75 percent in the face of inflation that has exceeded its 2.5 percent ceiling since October 2010. It will return near the target only next year, the bank said in its Inflation and GDP outlook on July 9.
The bank has kept its rate unchanged since the May increase. Two of 10 members of the rate-setting council, Elzbieta Chojna-Duch and Andrzej Bratkowski, said last month that policy makers should consider cutting borrowing costs as early as September since growth may be weaker than expected.
An expansion of 1.5 percent next year would be Poland's slowest since 2001. The economy grew 4.3 percent in 2011, the most in the 27-nation European Union except for the three Baltic states, and 3.5 percent in the first quarter of 2012 from a year earlier. It will be the fastest-growing EU economy this year, the European Commission forecast on May 11.
The zloty declined 0.5 percent to 4.0637 per euro at 3:30 p.m. in Warsaw, the biggest daily decline in 10 days. The zloty reached the highest since August 2011 yesterday. The average yield on the 10-year government bond rose 11 basis points to 4.83 percent.
The government should revise next year's growth forecast to "about 2 percent," Boguslaw Grabowski, another member of Prime Minister Tusk's economic council, told TVN CNBC today.

Astronomically, there are viable mechanisms for distributing organic material throughout the Milky Way. Biologically, the destructive effects of ultraviolet light and cosmic rays means that the majority of organisms arrive broken and dead on a new world. The likelihood of conventional forms of panspermia must therefore be considered low. However, the information content of damaged biological molecules might serve to seed new life (necropanspermia).

Glossary--Assessment at MSJC
The purpose of assessment at MSJC is to improve student learning
Administrative Unit Outcome (AUO): Describe the desired quality (timeliness, accuracy, responsiveness, etc.) of key functions and services within the administrative or support unit. AUO's are expressed as statements of what users of the service experience, receive or understand as a result of a given service interaction. These should address both process and satisfaction indicators as well as performance metrics.
Assessment: Methods used to gather evidence and evaluate quality of student learning, programs, and administrative functions. The purpose of assessment is to improve student learning.
Asssessment Council: An ad-hoc task force of the Instititional Planning Committee charged with creating an institutional climate focused on assessment.
Assessment Cycle: Ongoing assessment at every level of the institution (i.e. institution, division, unit, program, course).
Institutional assessment cycle is completed on a six year cycle to coincide with the educational master plan (link needed).
Division/Unit/Program assessment cycle is completed in three year cycles (with annual updates).
Courses are each assessed at least once every three years.
Bloom's Taxonomy: Six levels arranged in order of increasing complexity or intellectual sophistication:
- Knowledge: Recalling or remembering information without necesssarily understanding it. Includes behaviors such as describing, listing, identifying, and labeling.
- Comprehension: Understanding learned material and includes behaviors such as explaining, discussing, and interpreting.
- Application: The ability to put ideas and concepts to work in solving problems. It includes behaviors such as demonstrating, showing, and making use of information.
- Analysis: Breaking down information into its component parts to see interrelationships and ideas. Related behaviors include differentiating, comparing, and categorizing.
- Synthesis: The ability to put parts together to form something original. It involves using creativity to compose or design something new.
- Evaluation: Judging the value of evidence based on definite criteria. Behaviors related to evaluation include: concluding, criticizing, prioritizing, and recommending.
NOTE: Lorin Anderson (Bloom's former student) and David Krathwohl (a member of Bloom's original team) have augmented taxonomy of learning by adding a new dimension which helps professionals better reflect on how learners think and connect the assessment method to the learning. The Anderson and Krathwohl model considers also the "what" and the "how" of knowledge. This added aspect of analysis is called the knowledge dimension. The knowledge dimension is divided into factual knowledge, conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge and meta-cognitive knowledge. An excellent interactive visual representation of how the model works is located at Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching at Iowa State University and can be seen HERE.
Classroom assessment techniques (CATs): "Simple tools for collecting data on student learning in order to improve it" (Angelo & Cross, 1993, p. 26) CATs are short, flexible, classroom techniques that provide rapid, informative feedback to improve classroom dynamics by monitoring learning, from the student's perspective, throughout the semester. Data from CATs are evaluated and used to facilitate continuous modifications and improvement in the classroom.
Closing the Loop: Process of creating student learning outcomes, assessing the student learning outcomes, gathering and analyzing the data from the assessment, making any necessary changes to the course, learning outcomes, or assessment and going through the process again.
Criteria: The qualities that we are looking for in the students' work (i.e. organization, coherence, critical thinking).
Departmental Learning Outcome (DLO): A Department Learning Outcome (or Learning Outcome as many institutions call them) is a statement of "the essential and enduring knowledge, abilities, and attitudes or dispositions" that a student should gain as a result of what has been learned in through a department.
DLOs are written for students and potential students and should be clear and understandable.
Embedded assessment: An assessment that is placed within a current assignment or exam rather than creating something new (i.e., common test questions, CATs, projects or writing assignments). Specific questions can be embedded on exams in classes across courses, departments, programs, or the institution.
Evidence: What students do to show they have the skills, knowledge, or abilities defined in the student learning outcome.
General Education Student Learning Outcomes (GELOs): The knowledge, skills, and abilities a student is expected to demonstrate following a program of courses designed to provide the student with a common core of knowledge consistent with a liberally educated or literate citizen.
Goals: Lofty, broad, ideas that are intangible, abstract and may not be measureable. They are long-term ideas of where you want to go.
Grades: The faculty evaluation of a student's performance in a class as a whole. Grades represent an overall assessment of student class work, which sometimes involves factors unrelated to specific outcomes or student knowledge, values or abilities. For this reason equating grades to SLO assessment usually isn't appropriate. Grades may include (extra) credit for participating in college activities (or community activities) that are not necessarily related to the student learning happening in the classroom. Also, an 'A' in one instructor's class might be equivalent to an 'A' in another instructor's class. The assessment of the student learning outcome is based on the same criteria and standards for all sections of a course and is simply measuring what skill/knowledge has the student gained through the class.
Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILO): The knowledge, skills, and abilities a student is expected to leave the institution with as a result of their total experience. ILOs differ from GELOs in that the ILOs may include outcomes relating to institutional effectiveness (degrees, transfers, productivity) in addition to learning outcomes. ILOs include instructional and student service outcomes.
ILOs are written for students and potential students and should be clear and understandable.
Measurement/Assessment Tool: This refers to the instrument used to assess a student learning outcome. This includes, but is not limited to, essay questions, papers, presentations, or multiple choice questions. It is possible to have one measurement/assessment tool that assess multiple student learning outcomes.
Learning Objectives: Learning objectives are small steps that lead toward a goal, for instance the discrete course content that faculty cover within a discipline. Objectives are usually more numerous and create a framework for the overarching student learning outcomes which address synthesizing, evaluating and analyzing many of the objectives.
Objectives: Short-term steps used to get to a goal. S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Relevant, Time Bound).
Program: An entity within the college organizational structure which has a distinct function with respect to other parallel entitles, to which staff, resources, and activities are dedicated.
The term program is not used in the same way as the Title 5 [§55000(g)] definition: "an organized sequence of courses leading to a defined objective, a degree, a certificate, a diploma, a license, or transfer to another institution of higher education." While a state-approved program (under Title 5) like Communication Studies may be considered a program under the MSJC definition, the state-approved Liberal Arts degrees are not functional programs with dedicated staff, resources, and activities. Some programs are synonymous with disciplines, this is not always the case. We treat Anatomy and Physiology as a program, even though technically it belongs to the larger discipline of Biological Sciences, because we see it has dedication staff and resources aimed at a function distinct from the other grouping of Biological Sciences.
Examples of other entities across the college which have distinct functions are the Honors Enrichment Program, Enrollment Services, Payroll, Counseling, Police Department, etc.
Program Review: The process by which individual disciplines / departments and service / support units systematically evaluate their past performance to facilitate
continuous improvement, guide resource allocation, and assist the administration and board in making decisions about programs. Program review is a required activity spelled out in accreditation standards and board policy. See Closing the Loop.
Rubrics: The combination of criteria and standards that creates a common measurement/assessment tool.
Standards: Defined expectations for various levels of performance (i.e. excellent, acceptable, unacceptable).
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs):. These are the skills, knowledge, or attitudes that a student is expected to walk OUT of the course with.
SLOs are generally assessed with a small assignment or task that require the student to utilize multiple skills learned throughout the course to execute the assignment.
SLOs are written for students and potential students and should be clear and understandable.

Your theme is unique in the way it displays categories, using the images, so where do these images come from?..I really like this feature.
My question is this:

Can you give me a clue why that might be....I've updated the database for the new url.

Corned beef and cabbage is one of the food traditions most closely associated with the celebration of Irish ancestry each year on Saint Patrick's Day in the U.S., though oddly enough it's not really an Irish national tradition.
In 17th century Ireland, salted beef was widely produced but it was very expensive and only accessible to the wealthy. Mid-19th century Irish emigrants to America however discovered that corned beef was very affordable and, along with cabbage which was also a staple of the working class, they readily adopted this into their cooking.
This recipe I make every year, also known as a New England boiled dinner, smiles with the addition of carrots, petite potatoes, turnips and parsnips.
As an appetizer, serve Smoked Salmon on Irish Soda Bread, or a Smoked Salmon Plate with cornichons and capers.
Delicious looking!
Your photos always make me hungry! I love those colorful vegetables!
[…] why else!? To celebrate this wonderful, green holiday. If I were home I would be eating corned beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread (which apparently is just not called that in Ireland…oops) and a guinness […]

All Hero MotoCorp Glamour Versions
Editorial Review of the Hero MotoCorp Glamour bike
Launched 9 years ago in the Indian two wheeler market in 2005, the Glamour motorcycle was a glamour result of a market feedback about consumers wanting a higher capacity bike with more power and torque without sacrificing on the fuel economy front. Infact, the engineers at Hero MotoCorp did a fabulous job with the engine and its rated fuel economy as per IDC norms stands at 81.1kmpl, more than some of the 100-110cc bikes out there!
The Glamour got a major design revamp in 2011 – the front end got a new look thanks to the new headlamp and visor. Infact, the bike now looks one of the better looking 125cc machines in the market. Size of the bike is another selling point – it does feel like a bike from the 150cc segment.
The Glamour also gets a dual color treatment, smart alloy wheels, a new exhaust muffler and a new semi digital speedometer console as well. The Glamour is sold in five colors and comes with 2.75" tyres on 18-inch wheels up front and 3.00" tyres on 18-inch wheels at the rear. The tyres are grippy and are a safe bet for riding under varying weather conditions prevalent in our country.
On the comfort front, the Glamour scores high. It gives you a big bike feel and the seat is well padded too. This makes sure that on a long and tiring commute your back does not take a beating. The suspension is well sorted and the Glamour rides over various kinds of terrains in a nice planted way. The engine displaces 124.7cc and puts out a respectable 9Bhp of power and 10.35Nm of torque.
While these aren't really impressive for an engine of this size, the Glamour does its job of a city commuter pretty well. Ofcourse the engine has decent power which also feels punchier than the regular 100-110cc machines and at the same time, delivers exceptional fuel economy too. The fuel tank measures a healthy 13.6 litres, giving the Glamour a possible 1000km tank range if ridden with a light right wrist!
Updated for 2014- Hero MotoCorp has given further updated the design of the new Glamour in order to keep up with the competition.The 2014 Hero Glamour features some cosmetic updates which include a slightly modified visor which has made the newest facelift of the motorcycle indeed quite glamorous. The new 125 cc motorcycle also features a new analogue speedometer with digital display.
To provide the bike a refreshed look, Hero has revised the headlight and taillight of the new Glamour plus the renowned manufacturer has also introduced new colour options on the motorcycle. The new facelifted version sports trendy body graphics which makes the 2014 Glamour look different from its predecessor. It looks contemporary and this modern look goes very well with the motorcycle in today's day and age.
The Glamour comes with a 3 year / 40,000km warranty and '6 free service' benefit of upto 18 months. This ensures a complete peace of mind as Hero MotoCorp bikes are generally known to be quite good and reliable.

Pros Looking
Cons Low pickup, not suitable for city rides, and low mielege
I bought this bike around 7 months ago, based on my riding experience I can confirm this
bike is not suitable for city rides because of low pickup. Even mileage also not good,
which is almost equal to Honda Activa.
Pros 111111
Cons 11111
it is best official and stylist bike for all of us. its drive very smoothly and his
capacity is minimum 150 kg maximum 300 kg. mileage is 40 to local patna because here very
gathering on road side shop and road is very complicated and 45 of highway on road.
Pros mileage
Cons less comfortable
City Mileage 45
mileage max 47-55
Overall very compact and light making
it easy to handle in city traffic. It is a good bike and does not give me much trouble,
maintenance is quite low and does not burn hole in my pocket as my earlier motorcycle tend
to do. The only problem is the mileage as i do not get a very goo mileage. I get around 40
to 45 kmpl average which is quite low, when compared to other competitors in its segment.
I would also not recommend the person who are above 5.9 to go for this bike as it is a
little uncomfortable for me only (5.8) so not very comfortable motorcycle to do long
distance. But it does the job of commuting daily from office to home and vice-versa which
is decent enough for me.

—Drs. Edison Oliveira and Werneck Lima of the Escola Paulista de Medicina in São Paulo pointed out in the Revista Brasileira de Gastroenterologia recently the convenience and, many times, the necessity of anastomosis of the transverse colon to the rectum or the anus. They listed the following indications for the operation: (a) traumatic lesions of the left half of the colon; (b) traumatic arterial lesions in the left side of the colon; (c) thromboembolism in the inferior mesenteric artery; (d) ulcerative colitis of the left half of the colon; (e) diverticulosis of the left half of the colon; (f) polyposis of the left half of the colon; (g) lymphogranuloma of the rectum; (h) megacolon; and (i) malignant tumors of the left half of the colon.In malignant disease of the descending colon, the surgical procedure is adapted to the location of the

Town of Milford Water Restriction
Since June 25, 2016, The Water Utilities Department has issued a temporary/voluntary Water Restriction during this seasonally dry period. We ask that customers refrain from lawn watering while the Water Utilities Department personnel closely monitor water system levels. Voluntary cooperation of all water users is critical to avoid a mandatory lawn watering restriction. Conserving water today means more water resources will be available should a fire emergency arise. Thank you for your understanding. Water Restriction Map

Opening arguments have been delayed indefinitely for a man accused of sexually assaulting a fellow Air Force Academy cadet last year.
An Academy spokesman said the court-martial for Cadet 2nd Class Stephan Claxton was put on hold after lawyers from both sides met Tuesday, but wouldn't elaborate further on the postponement.
A woman testified at a hearing in January that Claxton, who is in the class of 2012, allegedly crept beside her while she slept in March 2011 and placed her hand on his genitals. Prosecutors allege he also unzipped the pants of a woman who was passed out after a night of drinking in November.
Claxton was among three Air Force Academy cadets charged this year in separate sex assault cases.
All three were alleged to be in violation of Article 120, which as of 2007 constitutes rape, sexual assault, and other sexual misconduct.
According to the Air Force, Maj. Gen. Richard Clark has dismissed all charges against Cadet Kyle A. Cressy, class of 2012. He had been charged with aggravated sexual assault.
Commanders have yet to decide whether to send Cadet Robert Evenson, class of 2011, to a court martial.

Two calls for tender were published and 9 other specific studies (Most of the studies are still in a preliminary stage) on prospective key issues for EU research and innovation policy were launched in 2004.
The objective of the study (The other partners are TNO (Netherlands); ARCS (Austria); and SERVILAB (Spain). Start/end of contract: 19/08/04-19/08/05) is to explore new approaches for research and innovation policy of the EU. In order to meet the objective, the study will:
So far, a strategic project workshop was held in Manchester on the 21st of February 2005. Therefore two very useful background documents, an "Analysis of Concepts and Data" and a "Review of Policy Perspectives" were produced. Plans for National Seminars were set up in order to enable exchange of information and views between researchers, statisticians, and service practitioners; and, crucially, to explore future issues - the trends, drivers and scenarios for services R&D.
The main objective of the study (Start/end of contract: 19/08/04-19/08/05) is to scan the leading world economic areas on emerging science and technology priorities in public research policies and to relate these priorities to new science and technology developments and their economic and societal impact. The study shall identify scientific and technological developments and research priorities in which Europe could take the lead in the years to come. The study shall contribute to the development of research and innovation policies of the European Union.
The study is being carried out for the European countries (EU Member States, Associate and Candidate Countries) and its main competitors, e.g. the United States and Japan in order to provide a comparative overview of emerging scientific and technological developments with an accompanying analysis of the socio-economic context in which they arise.
The overview will include an analysis of whether and why those developments could be seen as a priority for future EU research and innovation policies and programmes. So far, 41 priority emerging technologies could be identified and covered: Biotechnologies, agro-food industry, health (36%); ICT (20%); Energy, environment (20%); Materials, chemistry, physics, electronics (15%); Construction, infrastructure (5%); Technologies for design, management and production (2%); Transport, aeronautics, space (2%). The characterisation of the 41 technologies brings out the fact that the most important impact of them is on Science & Technologies and Industry and Business. Most of these technologies will be mature by 2030 but biotechnologies will be still in emergence after 2030. Comparing the public support to R&D and to technologies in Japan, USA and EU, the analysis shows that the support is much more targeted on one or two fields in Japan and US than in Europe. In terms of technologies, the Life-sciences seem more supported in Japan and US than in Europe. EU seems to have a comparative advantage in terms of sustainable development technologies.
The main objective of the study (Start/end of contract: 7/12/04 -7/02/05) is to provide a basis for research and innovation policy design in order to enhance the competitiveness of the EU and the quality of life of the European citizens in the long run. It shall synthesise the available knowledge with a focus on the policy features most relevant for policy-makers in fields related to making innovation successful. Therefore it will:
The major challenge for an enlarged Europe is to develop a common European vision and policy procedures that, on the one hand, preserve the cultural diversity and richness of Europe and, on the other hand, facilitate co-operation and mutually supporting policy-making procedures.
The main objective of the study (Start/end of contract: 19/8/04-19/08/05) is to identify key issues for the future of research and innovation policies in an enlarged European Union. So the main trends of research and innovation policies in European countries with the time horizon 2015 will be anticipated. Based on a limited number of scenarios of how research and innovation policies might evolve, implications for research and innovation policies in an enlarged European Union shall be analysed
The objective of the study (Start/end of contract: 19/8/04-19/08/05)is to provide the European Commission with scenarios related to a European Foreign and Security Policy and explore their implications for EU research and innovation policies.
The research work is divided into three major tasks:
The objective of the study (Start/end of contract: 7/12/04 -7/02/05) is to aid European Union policy-making in the field of RTD by providing plausible scenarios for the future RTD developments in new emerging economies, with the year 2015 as time horizon. Special attention is given to the developments of linkages and co-operation processes between these economies and the EU and the scenario work will focus on impacts for Europe and allow conclusions concerning the EU RTD policy. The study will take into consideration potential RTD powers as well as countries with rapidly expanding economies and potential strong science, education and innovation systems (China, India, Brazil, Russia, South Africa). Scenarios focused on RTD related issues, especially the mechanism governing the demand and supply for knowledge, will be developed for these countries. The analysis will take the following issues into account:
The scenarios will be of a both qualitative and quantitative nature and have an emphasis on the drivers of change and their evolutions and impacts. Conclusions will be drawn as how the scenarios affect the developments in Europe (EU25), especially in the field of RTD and economic development. The policy implication for Europe of different scenarios will then be analysed, in particular for RTD policy.
A key objective of the European Union's research policy is to open the European Research Area (ERA) to the rest of the world. In doing so, research can contribute to the solution of specific problems faced by third countries in equitable partnerships. SCOPE 2015 will generate 10-year scenarios to be used by policy makers to guide decision processes on the shape and scope of future RTD cooperation between Europe and other parts of the world. Specifically, the project (Start/end of contract: 7/12/04 -7/02/05) will focus upon a selected group of countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (excl. South Africa), the Maghreb and Mashreq, Latin America (excl. Brazil and Mexico), and the Commonwealth of Independent States (excl. Russia). Within SCOPE 2015, RTD policy makers and experts will be engaged as national correspondents from those countries covered. National RTD status reports will be produced and will be used as the basis for developing a range of plausible, yet contrasting, scenarios for future RTD cooperation between Europe and the regions under study. A mixture of online and face-to-face workshops will be used to develop and validate the scenarios, as well as to identify and scope future policy measures.
The objective of the study (Start/end of contract: 1/12/04 -1/12/05) is to contribute to a better informed policy-making process with the help of an advanced form of Foresight. The study will propose how Foresight can be best conducted at national and European levels and formulate guidelines for utilising Foresight in the (European) policy making process. The study foresees to evaluate a design case on "sustainable mobility" in order to evaluate and test the proposed guidelines. Draft guidelines have been developed on the basis of a review of recent major Foresight exercises which had both a European and a sustainable development component. The study will also propose a check list for identifying and using science and technology priorities relevant for achieving the objective of sustainable development in the context of Foresight exercises. The changed science/policy relationship over the last decades will be taken into account in order to allow Foresight exercises to be well-embedded in the contemporary policy context.
In addition to these 9 studies, other activities were also designed to promote EU wide Foresight approaches, such as the setting up of several expert groups in the period 2002-2004: on the one hand on the future of higher education/research relations ("Measures to improve Higher Education/Research Relations in order to strengthen the strategic basis of the ERA") and the role of higher education and research for the ERA ("Higher Education and Research for the ERA: Current Trends and Challenges for the near Future"), on the other on "Converging Technologies" ("Foresighting the New Technology Wave" expert group, see Newsletter issue 5), with the aim to analyse the convergence of nano-bio-info- technologies and cognitive and social sciences and its consequences for future European research. A new expert group on "Key technologies for Europe 2020" has been set at the end of 2004 in order to synthesize available Foresight studies in Europe and identify emerging science and technology opportunities (see below "New expert group on "Key technologies for Europe 2020").
Finally, Foresight initiatives and studies with a European perspective are being constantly monitored in order to identify common issues emerging from national exercises thus allowing early networking and exchanges and to exploit the knowledge gained for informing EU policy making.
An expert group on "Key technologies for Europe 2020" was set up in December 2004 with the purpose to synthesise the analytical and Foresight work that exists at national and European levels in relation to the following areas of science and technology: Biotechnology, nanotechnology, information technologies, communication technologies, transport technologies, energy technologies, environmental research, social sciences and humanities, manufacturing and materials technologies, health research, agricultural research, cognitive sciences, safety technologies, complexity research and systemic, service research. The main objective is to produce a set of reports presenting longer term perspectives for research in these fields. The group will have to evaluate the potential of the scientific and technological emergent fields of research in the 15 areas while stressing the possible impact on competitiveness and the possibilities of exploiting the synergies between the technologies. A final conference will be held on 19-20 September 2005 to confront the results, analyses and proposals by widening the debate in a mixed group of experts and decision-makers.

Approximately 40 000 children are treated with daily injections of growth hormone (GH) in the EU. GH efficacy is undisputed in severe GH deficiency but is more limited in other situations. The possibility has been raised that GH use in childhood might increase the risk of cancer later in life but little data is available. SAGhE will evaluate the impact of GH treatment on height, psychosocial status as well as long-term mortality and cancer incidence in a large unbiased metacohort of patients. The data will then be integrated and disseminated to several levels of users. SAGhE is unique worldwide in its design, size and potential to answer important questions raised on childhood GH treatments.
