The Devon Team were pleased to put the long coach journey behind them when they arrived in Chesterfield at around 5.30 pm on the Saturday evening. Once allocated their rooms and after a brief period of 'down time' the team gathered in the dining room for their evening meal. After this had been demolished, a full team meeting followed, with our county president Mr Derek Wyatt presenting the new Devon Team member pin badges to all those who had been selected to swim for their County. In the team there were also five 'veterans' Lauren Hession, Aliyah Mai Webb, Ben Staig Tom Downs and Ollie Taverner, who received their full County caps having swum for Devon for three years. The team captains Aliyah Mai Webb and Ben Staig were also announced and introduced to the team.
After the presentations the Head coach Greg King (Mount Kelly) and assistant coach Lindsay Powell ( Exeter) gave a team talk which was designed to make sure that everyone realised that they could, if they all worked together, get the promotion we were looking for.

text: Hague prosecutors ask to halt Kenyatta's trial East Africa by Reuters Last Updated: Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:08:28 GMT 0 The ICC has asked for the trial of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta to be adjourned indefinitely. PHOTO: Kenya Gov This is due to the Kenyan government's refusal to cooperate because of a lack of evidence. (READ MORE: Hague court delays start of Kenyan president's trial) In a court filing seen by Reuters, ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said she did not have enough evidence to prosecute Kenyatta, who is accused of stoking a wave of lethal inter-ethnic violence after Kenya's elections in 2007, when more than 1,000 people were killed. (READ MORE: Kenyatta trial doomed unless Kenya helps:ICC) She said it would be "inappropriate" to withdraw the charges in light of Kenya's "continuing failure to cooperate with the Court's requests for assistance in this case". Instead she asked judges to adjourn the case until Kenya began cooperating.

Traders Rating on Forex-Ratings.com3 based on 122 reviews
It's a fact that if you open account with xforex, you'll lose your money with high chances. Don't even chat with them because you will be under aggressive marketing attack immediately. I had a question about depositing funds. Despite this, I had conversation where sales manager was trying to persuade me to make one more deposit. Instead of figuring out my real problem. Now I can't even go to their website without spam warnings. That's not a place for fair trading and high returns.
The platform lacks some good features like trailing stop and spread is minimum 3pip even for eurusd.
I just registered an account with Xforex and made a initial deposit. A tragedy strike my family and i had to withdraw the deposit. The CS staff told me that they need some documents, copies of ID, credit card and telco bills to verify my identify and prevent antimoney laundering activities. I hope they will get back to me asap..

The very bad broker, I am waiting for 10 weeks for money withdraw. The client is very slow, sending me reqoutes all the time. They don't pay!
Hehe, what else were you expecting? The guy has to close you, that's the only way he's gonna feed his family. You wait and see how patient he is, will he wait whilst you learn or push you to "fund now, and then feel comfortable in the knowledge that it is there waiting for you"
Wo.. Anyone had any experience good or bad usng Xforex as their trading platform ladies and gentlemen? I finding out reviews.
Although I must say, their customer service support is amazing! My representative make sure that He can contact me and explain to me about Forex and how to use their system and answer a lot of my questions. I must admit my ears warmed up talking to him on the phone that long. =) Starting soon, but anyone who had experience with Xforex? Your views?

The task of ending a marriage is never easy. There are ways to end your marriage without an ugly, time-consuming divorce. An annulment is a way to dissolve your marriage, declaring it null and void. It doesn't require the use of lawyers, and it usually takes a couple of days to a week to end the marriage once you file. To qualify for an annulment you must prove that the marriage was based on fraud of some kind. According to codes.ohio.gov, a marriage can be annulled if one individual was under the legal marrying age, one party was still married to another individual, one was mentally incompetent, the marriage was obtained by fraud (lying or withholding information from the spouse) by either party or if consent to the marriage was obtained by force. Various websites let you file an annulment and start your new life.
Filing an Annulment Online
Visit a website that allows to file your annulment online, such as document-do-it-yourself-service.com/annulment. (You can also use onlinedivorcepapers.com/annulment.html or easy-divorce.com. All of these sites will allow you to file your annulment online once you pay their specified fee.)
See if you qualify to file your annulment with the service by answering a questionnaire. On the right-hand side of the document-do-it-yourself-service.com website under "See If You Qualify," click on "Take the Test." You will be asked a series of questions ranging from the reason for the annulment to your state of residence. An instant response will be emailed to you.
Click "Start Here" on the lower left-hand side of the website, under "How It Works." This will take you to a page that will allow to choose your state.
Select the state where you live. Once your state is chosen, the service will be able to give a precise cost for your annulment.
Order the legal annulment service for your state. After you have completed the transaction, send in your information through the annulment questionnaire. Your paperwork will be completed within two to three business days and sent back to you for review.
Sign and give the completed annulment papers to the local county courthouse. Get the scheduled hearing date and attend your annulment hearing.

Printpack Expands Manufacturing Center In Newport News, Virginia
Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Printpack is a privately-held manufacturer of flexible and specialty rigid packaging. Employing 4,000+ associates worldwide, the company operates 25 manufacturing facilities in the United States, Mexico and China.
"We are pleased to be expanding our business in Virginia and are very appreciative of the support from the Governor, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, and the City of Newport News," said Jim Stevenson, Director of Operations, Printpack. "Printpack pioneered the barrier rigid container business in Virginia in 1984 and we have been growing here ever since. After considering other locations for our expansion, we decided to expand in Virginia largely because our well-established, capable workforce provides us a solid base of expertise to build upon. Additionally, strong relationships with and support from our local governments made expansion in Virginia a solid decision."
Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with the City of Newport News to secure the project for Virginia. Governor McAuliffe approved a $150,000 grant from the Commonwealth's Opportunity Fund to assist Newport News with the project. The Governor also approved a $200,000 performance-based grant from the Virginia Investment Partnership program, an incentive available to existing Virginia companies. The company is eligible to receive state benefits from the Virginia Enterprise Zone Program, administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development. Funding and services to support the company's employee training activities will be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.
Governor Terry McAuliffe said, "I am thrilled to announce this significant investment in Newport News that will help create jobs and economic activity in a region that has been hard hit by federal defense cuts. Printpack's continued success in Hampton Roads is reflective of the outstanding climate Virginia has to offer manufacturing companies. Creating new jobs in the manufacturing sector is a key component in our efforts to diversify and build a new Virginia economy. My proposed budget includes funding to strengthen Virginia's workforce system and economic development programs to make the Commonwealth even more attractive to companies like this."
"Printpack's expansion is another testament to the talented workforce, superior business environment and quality infrastructure in Newport News and Hampton Roads," said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Maurice Jones. "We thank Printpack for this additional vote of confidence in the Commonwealth of Virginia and look forward to the continued growth of this dynamic manufacturing enterprise."
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Printpack as they expand in Newport News, and have enjoyed a superb working relationship with their people, both at the local and corporate levels," said Florence Kingston, City of Newport News Director of Development. "Printpack has seen long standing success in our EDA-owned Oakland Industrial Park, and we are excited by their increased customer demand and the market growth of the rigid plastics industry driving their expansion."

Larry Cohen was born in Kingston, New York, USA and is an American film producer, director, and screenwriter. His sister Ronni Chasen was a publicist who worked with him beginning early in his film career. He moved to the Riverdale, Bronx area of New York City at an early age, and he later majored in Film studies at the City College of New York. He exhibited a voracious appetite for films as a child, visiting the movie theatres at least twice a week and, most of them being Double features, the young Cohen managed to consume at least four movies a week.
His own career in film began during the 1950s when he worked for NBC television network: it was while working at NBC that he learned how to produce teleplays and, shortly after, began writing his own television scripts. He solely created the TV series The Invaders and also scripted episodes of The Defenders and The Fugitive.
He is best known however as a B-Movie auteur of horror and science fiction films – often containing a police procedural element – during 1970s and 1980s. His more notable films of this period include Q: The winged God and many of the Maniac Cop series.
Cohen began the 1990s with his film The Ambulance starring Eric Roberts. The film is set in New York City and is focused on Josh Baker (Roberts), an aspiring comic book artist, who investigates a string of disappearances: people who are picked up by a mysterious ambulance never reach the city hospital. The Ambulance features cameos by Stan Lee, Larry Hama and Jim Salicrup of Marvel Comics.
He has since concentrated mainly on screenwriting including the Joel Schumacher thriller Phone Booth, Cellular and Captivity. In 2006 Cohen returned to the directing chair for the Mick Garris-created Masters of Horror TV series; he directed the episode Pick Me Up.
Larry looks forward to meeting all his fans at both the Brisbane and Adelaide expos in 2012. There are signing* and photo* sessions throughout each Saturday (10.30am to 5.30pm) and Sunday (11am to 5pm) excluding breaks and there's a general admission Q&A during each weekend. Larry will also be speaking as a part of Directors Day in Brisbane on the Friday of the event.
* Autograph and photograph fees apply.
Guest confirmed health and other commitments pending.

The NFPA gives specifics on some of the primary causes of residential fires? Technologies are also being developed to reduce death rates associated with residential fires.
Primary Causes of Residential Fires
The primary causes of residential fires are fires that start from cooking or from the kitchen, as well as smoking. In the case of cooking fires or fires from the kitchen, the flames and heating appliances that people use for cooking or heating their food pose a fire hazard that can lead to residential fires.
A stove that is left unattended can lead to the burning of food and eventual combustion on the charred food. Such combustion of food can lead to flames that can reach kitchen cabinets or other flammable parts of the kitchen. Also, the use of heaters, such as water heaters, poses the risk of overheating to the point of drying cooking utensils and burning of these utensils.
Thus, the kitchen is the most common place of origin of residential fires. Thus, focus and emphasis has increased on the prevention of fires that come from kitchens, as manufacturers of kitchen appliances and kitchen construction shifted towards the use of materials and design that reduce the probabilities of kitchen fires.
In terms of smoking, tobacco smoking can start fires, especially in areas of the house that have a considerable amount of flammable or combustible items, such as the linens and rubber foams in the bedroom and family room. Burning cigarettes could get misplaced and get in contact with such flammable or combustible materials. Some people may fall asleep with a lighted cigarette in their hands. These scenarios present serious risks of fires from smoking.
Technological Solutions to Reduce Deaths from Residential Fires
An important consideration is that the lack of appropriate alarm systems to indicate the presence of smoke. This means that the lack of detectors or the inadequacy of detectors in homes lead to the increased rate of residential fires and the increased rate of fire deaths. Thus, smoke detection technologies have been developed to reduce the death rate in residential fires, as a way of preventing fires in the first place. Water sprinkler systems are used in residential buildings. Moreover, fire resistant technologies focus on the use of fire resistant materials for kitchen appliances. These fire resistant materials come in the form of fire resistant wires and cables, fire resistant plastics, and fire resistant polymer coatings. The result of using these technologies is a home that is less prone to residential fires.

Global Warming:
Administration's Proposal in Support of the Kyoto Protocol
T-RCED-98-219: Published: Jun 4, 1998. Publicly Released: Jun 4, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6082
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed: (1) the potential impact of efforts to comply with the Kyoto Protocol; (2) whether the administration has an overall goal for stage 1 and a plan for accomplishing that goal; (2) if funded, to what extent will the $6.3-billion stage 1 climate change proposal help the United States meet the protocol's emissions target; and (3) what the current implications are for the United States if the Senate ratifies the protocol, given the current status of the administration's efforts to implement the climate change proposal.
GAO noted that: (1) the administration has several broad goals for what it wants to accomplish in stage 1 and a broad plan for accomplishing them; (2) both the broad goals and plan are contained in the President's October 1997 speech; (3) the administration has not established a quantitative goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by the end of stage 1--a primary focus of its initiative; (4) while Office of Management and Budget officials acknowledge that the plan is broad, they have no specific timeframe for preparing a more detailed plan that would include overall performance goals and measures to meet the spirit of the Government Performance and Results Act; (5) the extent to which the $6.3-billion stage 1 proposal will help the United States meet the protocol's target for emission reductions is unclear; (6) the largest investment under the proposal, tax credits, with an estimated cost of about $3.6 billion, has no estimate of the expected benefits and thus is not explicitly tied to the protocol's target for emission reductions; (7) the administration has set performance goals for most of the $2.7 billion proposed for research and development and the increased use of energy-efficient products and has estimated potential emissions reductions; (8) the Department of Energy only recently provided its estimates, while commenting on a draft of this testimony, and GAO has not analyzed them; (9) in addition, the Environmental Protection Agency's estimates may be overstated; (10) therefore, it is uncertain how much these activities will help the United States meet the target specified by the protocol; (11) without an overall goal and plan for stage 1 and complete information on expected outcomes and links to the protocol's emission reduction target, it is uncertain whether stage 1 will effectively lay the foundation for the 31-percent emissions reduction required by the protocol; and (12) although the administration's response to the protocol is relatively recent, a firm foundation in stage 1 is important because the protocol's targets for emission reductions are binding on the nations that agree to the protocol, and penalties for noncompliance with the targets are to be discussed by the parties to the protocol in November 1998.

text: Enterprise Infrastructure IBM's big data strategy blazes forward brian bloom @itworldca Published: October 22nd, 2012IBM Corp. is pushing the pedal on big data analytics.The company announced new acceleration technology for its portfolio of big data software at its Information on Demand conference in Las Vegas, including a new IBM Digital Analytics Accelerator aimed at chief marketing officers. Based on Netezza (analytics software) and Unica (marketing software) technology, the new offering can derive insight from web traffic, customer emails and social media to run more efficient marketing campaigns. IBM also says is has enhanced the analytics capabilities offered through its SmartCloud platform. IBM also announced new features to its InfoSphere Streams software, designed to help communications providers analyze data moving across their networks faster. The tool can measure network performance, customer behaviour on social media and geospatial information.IBM InfoSphere BigInsights, a platform based on Hadoop that can be used to analyze unstructured data, is also getting a speed boost with an improved ability to capture relevant information from social media, the company said in a press release. The software will also now include a data federation tool called Data Explorer that will provide visual representations of data relationships.IBM speakers at the conference also touted what they said are the ultra-fast database queries now possible with DB2 Analytics Accelerator V3, launched a few weeks ago. Bolted onto IBM Z-series boxes, "what this gives you is the best of both worlds," said Curt Cotner, an IBM fellow and its vice president and CTO for database servers.Short-running queries can be run locally on DB2 for zOS, but when the data starts to grow to millions of rows, it will automatically be routed to a Netezza box, he said.The result, he said, is getting results "up to 2000 times faster than doing the same thing on zOS and of course, at a fraction of the cost."

Extremely satisfied with color match, and speed of shipping.
This order was my second from you guys -- the first, for my truck, was perfect!! This most recent order, for my car, didn't work as well; probably due to my lack of experience -- I have never worked with multi-coat paints like this. I made the system work by leaving out the middle coat and spraying the metallic over the white primer. The mid-coat, when applied, didn't match as well as the primer alone. When I finished with clear, the repair was not noticeable! Looks great!! Thanks!
Guys, you are the best! Did my DIY bumper scratches repair for the first time in my life and can't be more happy with the results. All thanks to the tools and materials I purchased from you guys. Now my friends and friends of friends see the result they want me to fix their scratched bumpers, so this was my first, but definitely not last order from the Automotivetouchup.com! 5 stars service and quality. Absolutely recommended for all DIY enthusiasts out there. And trust me, you are gonna save some BIG bucks with these guys! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
P.S. You guys maybe should provide an option to attach pics. ??? gladly attach my before-and-afters to prove my point. [ATU's Note: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/submit-pictures.aspx is the link to submit pictures!
Thank you for your kind words.]

Thanks John,
I have some motorcycle parts and pieces and I think I may have something in my scrap. I also have a bicycle that is trashed so I will look at the large sprocket on it also..
I am going to build this on the frugal side. I already have my chain drive opener so a pedal an sprocket and a chain is all I need to finish it. Speaking of finishing it I better get busy.. Thanks again for the info John I appreciate it.

I have wondered if a sewing machine motor would work but doubt they afe reversable like the garage door opener.
|Today 06:40 AM
I don't remember reading your bead roller mod thread, so please forgive me if this was addressed. Would a sewing machine controller pedal work for this? They are variable speed, aren't they?

It is ok but I would not want it to run any faster either. If I remember, I bought it off Ebay for like 35 bucks and had to buy the hub for it seperately. That was the only real money item. The foot control is a single action foot switch from Harbor Freight that was very cheap. Make sure you don't accidently buy a push on, push off switch. You need a push and hold switch for control. On tight radiuses you will need to "cycle" it for control.

Yep John, that is the offending Deck lid shell. Some easy things have been addressed but the major hold up is still holding.
I have been looking at the parts that I have to fab up for it and I have some new ideas as to how to go about building the left and right sides. I might have to buy some more 18 ga but it will be worth it in what I will learn on this deck lid. You know practice makes perfect..
While I have your attention John what was the final sprocket sizes you used on your door opener power for your bead roller?

End Quote---
He should keep talking about the Chevy II......oh yeah.....
That may be true but the Futura would have made a nice little car for the right price. Tim and his brother in law got to 2500 dollars of each other but never made a deal. Had it been a Chevy II I believe he would have bought it.
This is under the trunk matt.
You can tell the old man loved the car and was an antiquer. It had what looked like a brand new single exhaust behind the V-8.
The car had not run in Three years. We poored a teaspoon of gass in the carburator, jumped it off and it cranked right up. One lifter clattered for about 3-4 minutes and slowely built itself up. After that it ran quiet as a church mouse.

I finished the major construction on the bead roller stand and it is at least functional now. I need to mount some studs on the side of the vertical to hold all the dies and I need to do some basic mods to the roller. I need to add zerk fittings to the shaft bearing blocks and need to improve the adjustment bolt on the top. I did run my first ever test bead on the roller and I was plesently surprized. It was some 20 of 22 ga but it gave me a good idea of how the roller and tool work. I still need to look into my garage door motor power assist I am going to put on but that is less of a priority now.
Here it is still a work in progress.

Academic tenure
A tenured professor or curator has an appointment that lasts until retirement age, except for dismissal with just cause. A common justification for existence of such a privileged position is the principle of academic freedom, which holds that it is beneficial for state, society and academy in the long run if scholars are free to examine, hold, and advance controversial views.
Some have argued that modern tenure systems diminish academic freedom, forcing those seeking tenured positions to profess conformance to the level of mediocrity as those awarding the tenured professorships. For example, according to physicist Lee Smolin, "...it is practically career suicide for a young theoretical physicist not to join the field of string theory"[1] However, in institutions without tenure systems,[example needed] academic freedom and the ability to espouse non-conformist views are afforded no protections.[citation needed] Advocates of academic tenure frequently fail to explain why teachers, alone among the professions, are entitled to special protection.

I'm considered a "golf snob". Loved this place. I'd go back anytime (3 hour drive). Great course, great conditions. And great service. One of my favorites nationwide.
Just played here this week. Course is in excellent shape and everyone there is friendly and helpful. I think that this course is the best course for the money in Wisconsin. Several elevated tees and also tee shots over canyons. Beautiful layout. By far the best course in the Dells if not the state. Don't miss it. Have lunch there... 更多
This course was looking perfect this past week. The course was in great shape. Outstanding features and great layout. I'm an average golfer and shoot in the upper 90's and the course did not throw my game off. My friends were in the 4-8 handicap and they said the same thing. It plays for anyone as long as you play... 更多
Played the 9 hole course. It was pretty and seemed like a good course for beginners. Enjoyed the view of the lake from the golf course.
Make sure you stop by and play this one. It's a well run course. 10 minutes separates tee-times. The starters are helpful. The pro-shop is well run. The restaurant and cart service was great! A must stop on your Wisconsin Golf Tour!
Played Wild Rock on consecutive days in July of 2015. The course is in great shape. It absolutely poured each night and the course drained well. Pace of play was wonderful, considering it was set by us! We played on Monday and Tuesday and teed off at 8:40 am each day. Both rounds were finished right around 4 hours. On... 更多
Played here on July 3rd. The course is always in great shape. Great views on the course with many elevated tees overlooking the holes. Several tee shots over canyons which make it extra fun. This is by far the best course in the Dells area. I rate this as one of the best courses in the state as well.
I love this course. I went with my brother-in-law and my 11 year old son and we had a blast. Everything was top notch and the course was in tremendous condition. It is a picturesque landscape that makes it so unique (and challenging). I will be back.
Great course. Played from the gold, I am an 18. Challenging and very fair. Carries, trap, tough greens. All and all a terrific golf experience
Just returned from a guys golf trip. We have golfed here for the past 4 years. This year we booked the golf package to save some money and for 16 of us we stayed in (4) 3BR cabins. Great price and it also included lunch which was limited to various items off the menu. The food was delicious and clubhouse... 更多

Antique Jewelry
Wonder what's going on in the world of jewelry? Read on for some of the most interesting recent headlines.
Earrings, bracelets and rings were the rage at the CMAs
On November 5, the 48th Country Music Association Awards took place in Nashville, Tenn. and country music's brightest stars shone even brighter thanks to their jewelry. At this year's CMA Awards, earrings, bracelets and rings were popular, with a number of stars wearing asymmetrical earrings. Diamond and gold jewelry were also seen on the red carpet and stage.
$5 Million Red Diamond Sets World Auction Record
A heart-shaped fancy red diamond ring by Moussaieff set a world auction record Christie's in Hong Kong on November 25. The 2.09-carat ring sold for $5,095,872 ($2.44 million per carat) to a private Asian investor.
Other highlights from the sale include a 10.1-carat cushion cut Burmese ruby and diamond brooch by Cartier ($8.4 million); a pair of jadeite cabochon earring studs measuring 26 mm each ($6.7 million); and a 3.39-carat oval vivid blue diamond ring ($5.8 million).
Classic lockets gaining popularity in a modern world
According to a Wall Street Journal article, jewelry lockets are experiencing a renaissance in popularity, along with amulets and box rings. Some say that "sentimental" jewelry with secret compartments where you can keep a picture or other memento private is a welcome throwback in response to a very public, tell-all social media world.
Sentimental jewelry first came in vogue during the Victorian era, and was an important part of a widow's mourning ritual. At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the current exhibition called "Death Becomes Her" showcases the intricate lockets and mementos that a widow wore following the death of her spouse. Elaborate lockets in jet black and gold were engraved and set with precious stones and contained arrangements of plaited hair, fabric remnants, tiny photographs or illustrations.
Prospectors reality TV show returns for third season
JCLK Marketplace.com has reported that Prospectors, the reality show that follows the adventures of miners searching for gems in the Colorado Mountains, returned for its third season on Dec. 7. The show, which airs on the Weather Channel, is one of the network's most popular, according to the network.
The show's prospecting subjects often dig up gems including aquamarine, topaz, and quartz. In one episode, a family unearthed three specimens of amazonite, potentially worth $320,000. In the third season, the show's focus will be more on the gems being discovered, and the jewelry made with them.

Can I ask why you would say it worked for you?
i guess i would say that it worked for me because
1-i was tired of being large
2-there was inspirational programs to watch through out the 8 weeks
3-there was lots of benificial information on the ediets and discovery
health website
4-if i needed extra support or encouragement i could get it from these
websites or from friends and family
and i guess the main reason why is because i really wanted it for myself. not just to finally be "skinny", but to also be healthy so i could live a longer life. i needed to do something now so my weight wouldn't become so out of control in the future. i was determined to change my lifestyle. also, knowing that there were thousands of other people out there who were doing this too (going through the struggles and rejoicing in the rewards from the hardwork) made me not feel as alone in my struggle. i think a program will only work for you if you really want it for yourself. you can't want it because of someone else. if you don't truly believe in your abilities or yourself, then i personally don't believe any type of diet program will work. you also have to finally make a decision that it is going to be a lifestyle decision and until you do that then you won't be successful. if you just do the 8 week program and stop, then you will gain the weight back and have to start all over. another thing, ediets is very lenient. it can adjust to any lifestyle and the types of foods you like. you don't have to follow it step by step, but it does have a ton of information for every type of person. basically it worked for me because i was ready for a change and i knew other people were trying just as hard as i was. once again, feel free to comment or ask anything else. i hope this helps you some. just tell me if it doesn't and i can try to clarify myself better.

This isn't the place to stay if you're planning on a weeks stay in Dortmund. It is however brilliant if you want a hotel just off the motorway, clean, cheap and great service. Would definitely stay again, rooms small but perfectly formed, excellent WiFi, great friendly staff, decent menu ( ordered in from takeaways but very quick and cheap) decent breakfast and loads of parking. The main road is close but with windows shut you can't hear it at all. Good air con too.

|Re: [VOTE] Release Apache JDO 2.1
|Thu, 20 Mar 2008 03:19:48 GMT
+1 for release. I've checked signatures and checksums, run RAT, and run both tck and legacy tck with JPOX 1.2.0. Everything looks good. I've filed JDO-583 for the signature files that don't have Apache license headers. This is due to a limitation of the program that parses the signature files; the program does not allow comments. This is proposed to be fixed for the next maintenance release of JDO.

This study focused on the removal of Pb(II), Cd(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) using reagent solutions by natural limestone in a batch system. The sorbent, collected from the Late Cretaceous limestone beds, Tunisia, was characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), chemical analysis (XRF) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRF showed that the studied limestone contained high amount of calcium carbonates. XRD confirmed the presence of quartz along with the sharp peaks of calcite. FTIR spectra indicated that limestone was mainly composed of calcite, confirming the results of XRD and XRF analyses. Preliminary adsorption tests indicated that high removal efficiency could be achieved by limestone. The presence of impurities enhanced the adsorption capacity. Kinetic experiments showed that the sorption of metal ions best fitted the second order kinetic model with equilibration time of 60 min. These results suggested that the Campanian-Maastritchian limestone could be used for the removal of toxic metals from wastewaters. Copyright © 2012 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. Source

An activated carbon was prepared by phosphoric activation of olive pomace and further oxidation by nitric acid. Another carbon was obtained from β-cyclodextrin dehydration in concentrated sulfuric acid. A composite of the oxidized activated carbon and the carbon from β-cyclodextrin was prepared. The four materials were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption measurements, X-ray diffraction, infrared and Raman spectroscopies, elemental analysis, "Boehm" titration and measurements of pH of the point zero charge. The obtained adsorbents were tested for boron adsorption in aqueous solution. Despite their lowest specific surface areas, the composite carbon and the amorphous carbon from cyclodextrin dehydration showed the highest boron adsorption uptake (1.41 and 1.68mg·g-1) compared to the raw (1.05mg·g-1) and oxidized (0.95mg·g-1) activated carbons. The surface chemistry particularly rich in phenolic groups was responsible for the high boron adsorption uptake of the carbon composite and the amorphous carbon, both prepared through cyclodextrin dehydration. © 2016 King Saud University.

In this study, undoped and Fe doped nanostructured Zinc oxide thin films were synthesized by simple and low cost co-precipitation and spin-coating technique. Surface morphology and crystalline structure of the deposited films were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. XRD analysis demonstrated that the films were polycrystalline with the hexagonal phase. From SEM investigations, the surface morphology of the deposited films was found to depend on Fe concentration. The obtained optical measurements indicated that Fe doping decreases the optical transmission and shift the optical gap to 3.08 eV for 0.5 at.% Fe content. An optimum Fe concentration of 0.5 at.% was found to lead to the highest photoconduction sensitivity of the ZnO films. The photocurrent enhancement response was explained by a better charge separation and collection efficiency under visible light illumination. © 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Source
Preparation and characterization of CeO 2-Al 2O 3 aerogels supported ruthenium for catalytic wet air oxidation of p-hydroxybenzoic acid

Catalytic wet air oxidation of an aqueous solution of p-hydroxybenzoic acid was conducted over ruthenium catalysts (1 wt%) supported on CeO 2-Al 2O 3 aerogels mixed oxides at 140 °C and 50 bars of air. We study the effect of the amount of CeO 2 in the catalyst. We found that the optimal cerium content in the Al 2O 3 support was 20 wt%. The activity of the Ru/Al 2O 3 and Ru/CeO 2 was also tested for comparison. It was found that the addition of CeO 2 on the alumina support improves the activity of Ru catalysts. The activity of the samples decreases in the following order: Ru/Ce-Al (20) > Ru/Ce-Al (10) > Ru/Ce-Al (5) ≈ Ru/Al 2O 3 > Ru/CeO 2. Samples characterization was performed by means of N 2 adsorption-desorption, XRD, UV-Vis, TPR, SEM and TEM. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. Source

E-Learning 2.0: Out with Online Group Projects and In with Virtual Teams!
Does this sound familiar? It�s the week you roll out the group project in your online course. You�re watching the discussion board and the email trails. In each group, a student cautiously emerges as the discussion leader�you can tell that he or she doesn�t want to appear controlling, but is eager to begin. One or two other students check in and dutifully reach out to the rest of the group, hoping to hear from their partners, but are not really invested in the possibility of a reply. Some students don�t jump in at all. And so it goes . . . Not only do your spirits sag as you preside over another uninspiring group project, but you are increasingly concerned about students� abilities to effectively navigate collaborative projects in their future workplace.

What I learned from my dog, Sam
Here are a few things I have learned from my little Shih Tzu, Sam. Though he has gone to dog heaven, he and the lessons we have learned from him will forever remain in our hearts. Here are the top 10 things I learned from him:
10. Life should be simple.. eat, drink, sleep, let your voice be heard and chase your tail (happiness)
9. Explore all possibilities--there is always a way!
8. Let no obstacle hinder you from your goals! --knock it down, jump over it, chew on it until you can get across.
7. When you hear a strange noise, check it out.
6. If you made a mess, bark; don't pretend that you didn't do it.
5. Hold your head up high when you walk, no matter what you smell like. :)
4. Confidence is everything.
3. Be friendly to those who are friendly to you.
2. Smile and the world smiles back.
1. It doesn't matter if you haven't taken a bath yet. If you are cute and you know it, people can't even tell. :)
My dear dirty, stinky, yet lovable puppy... We miss you so much, but we know that you are now happily running around up in dog heaven with all the other puppies. You are one lovable pup! ....To Sam!
(note: the photo here is taken from another website. I currently do not have a clear photo of my puppy that I can post. Every photo I have of him makes him look like a green-eyed alien or a dirty rag. hehehe. :))

It's finally here! You can now download the official Google Analytics app for iPhone and iPod Touch. While the Android version of this app has been available for some time, this is the first release for iOS.
The Details
Google's new app is compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. However, it is optimized for the iPhone 5. It requires that the device run on iOS 6.0 or later.
With the new Google Analytics App you'll find many of the features that you're used to seeing such as visits, sources, page views, etc. However, according to TechCrunch, users will also have access to Real Time reports. This access will allow for monitoring of data as it is taking place.
Webmasters will no longer have to wait until they are near their desktop to view information. It is now available at their fingertips on the device they spend most of their time absorbed with.
Give Google Analytics for iOS a Try!
When I downloaded the app and linked my accounts, I ran into some immediate issues. I added my accounts successfully but received an error message that said "There was an error while trying to retrieve Google Analytics accounts for [email address]". I'm not quite sure why I've received this error or how to correct it.
If you've downloaded the app, what has been your initial experience? What features do you like and what issues have you had?
