The Timing of the School-to-Permanent Work Transition: a Comparison across Ten European Countries
The school-to-work transition is a turbulent period of youth, with possible consequences on the social and working conditions of individuals. The alternative status of employment during the transition possibly affect the transition probabilities. On the one side, the larger use of temporary contracts has made entry in the labour market easier, but has also made longer and, sometimes, harder the path toward a stable job. On the other side, periods of no work possibly deteriorate skills, while vocational experiences possibly avoid the obsolescence of skills. This paper applies discrete time duration models to ECHP micro information to investigate both the role of individual characteristics and, overall, of alternative origin labour market status in favoring the school-to-permanent work transition, focusing on ten European countries. The timing of the transition and the allocation of time to alternative labour market status differ among countries. Vocational training experience increases the hazard rate. Temporary contracts positively operate in Southern countries, where unemployment and inactivity prevail among school-leavers. On the contrary, where temporary jobs are widely used they reduce the hazard rate, favoring the establishment of a strong separating equilibrium, at least in the short-term. However, individuals with at least one temporary job or vocational training period show a greater duration dependence parameter, indicating their role in reducing the stigma effect of no permanent employment positions.

(Dated: April 23, 2013) Using atomistic simulations we investigate the thermodynamical properties of a single atomic layer of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). The thermal induced ripples, heat capacity, and thermal lattice expansion of large scale h-BN sheets are determined and compared to those found for graphene (GE) for temperatures up to 1000 K. By analyzing the mean square height fluctuations {h'^) and the height-height correlation function H{q) we found that the h-BN sheet is a less stiff material as compared to graphene. The bending rigidity of h-BN: i) is about 16% smaller than the one of GE at room temperature (300 K), and ii) increases with temperature as in GE. The difference in stiffness between h-BN and GE results in unequal responses to external uniaxial and shear stress and different buckling transitions. In contrast to a GE sheet, the buckling transition of a h-BN sheet depends strongly on the direction of the applied compression. The molar heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient and the Gruneisen parameter are estimated to be 25.2 JmoP^K"'^, 7.2xlO~®K~^ and 0.89, respectively. I. INTRODUCTION A single layer of hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN) is a wide gap insulator that is very promising for opto- electronic technologies [l|, 0], tunnel devices and field- effect transistors [SHa]. According to the well known Mermin- Wagner theorem Q, the stability of any two dimensional crystal is only possible in the presence of atomic corrugations which distort the perfect honey- comb lattice and allow the atoms to explore the out-of- plane direction. Experimental observations have found ripples in suspended sheets of GE [3, Q and atomistic simulations suggest that the strong bonds between the carbon atoms determine the features of these ripples [9j . Understanding the behavior of the ripples is important for many reasons [Ifll- They affect the electronic trans- port properties, e. g., in GE the ripples are believed to be one of the dominant scattering sources which limits the electron mobility [ll|, [l2] ■ h-BN ribbons doped by carbon has recently been pro- posed [3, [l^. In addition, BN based nanostructures are potential materials for thermal management applica- tions |14l4l3 | because of their high thermal conductivity and sensitivity to isotopic substitution and etc. There- fore, the knowledge of the shape and the temperature dependence of the intrinsic ripples is fundamental to de- vise novel nano-devices based on this material. Both GE and h-BN sheets have a honeycomb lat- tice structure, however the different electronic proper- ties and phonon band structure |20l - |22| results in un- equal morphologies and corrugations.

First-principle calculations have been performed using small unit cells, periodically replicated, which are unable to model long wavelength corrugations which require thousands of atoms [2J| while the mechan- ical properties of a h-BN sheet can be estimated by us- ing DFT 123]. Conversely, atomistic simulations using molecular dynamics simulations (MD) enable to study thermo-mechanical properties directly on large scale sam- ples. The modified TersofF potential [26,] (TP) (parame- terized originally for carbon and silicon) with various set of parameters have shown to predict reasonable values for the thermo- mechanical properties of the h-BN sheet. In the pioneer work by Albe et al re-parameterized TP was used to study the impact of energetic boron and nitrogen atoms on a cubic-BN target 27]. Some other groups have also parameterized TP using various experimental data, e.g. Sekkal et al [2a] treated h-BN as a one-component system, using the same potential parameters for both boron (B) and nitrogen (N) (neglecting the B-N interac- tion) to investigate the structural properties. Matsunaga et al Q proposed the TP of B in order to simulate cu- bic boron carbonitrides which are cornpatible with the parameters of nitrogen fitted by Kroll [30| , and recently, Liao et al [31| and Sevik et al [32| reported TP param- eters that were used to study the mechanical properties and the thermal conductivity of a h-BN sheet, respec- tively. In this study, we investigate the thermal rippling be- havior of free standing monolayer h-BN by using state of the art molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We adopted the TP potential re-parametrized by Sevik et al which has been shown to represent the experimen- tal structure and the phonon dispersion of the two- dimensional h-BN sheet. We found that h-BN is more corrugated and a less stiff material as compared to GE. The height-height correlations can be explained by the theory for continuum membranes [33]. In addition, we report results of both uniaxial and shear stress of a h-BN sheet and compare it with those found for GE. The buck- ling transition for compressed h-BN occurs earlier than for GE and the induced pattern of ripples when subjected to either uniaxial or shear stress shows significant differ- ences. This paper is organized as follows. In Sec. II, we in- troduce the atomistic model and the simulation method. Then, in Sec. Ill we analyze the behavior of the thermal ripples of a h-BN sheet. Here, we obtain the bending rigidity, the heat capacity, the thermal expansion coeffi- cients, and we study the buckling transition of the h-BN sheet when uniaxial external strain and shear stress are applied. All the results are compared with the ones ob- tained for a GE sheet. Finally, in Sec. IV, we present our conclusions. II. METHODS Classical atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simula- tion is employed to simulate large scale samples of h-BN and GE at temperatures varying from 10 K up to 1000 K. We used a modified Tersoff potential (which is an ordi- nary defined potential in the LAMMPS package [33.l35|) according to the parameters proposed by Sevik et al for the h-BN sheet. All the parameters and a detailed de- scription of the potential energy is given in Ref . [32| . To simulate GE we have used the AIREBO potential [3g which is suitable for simulating hydrocarbons. We em- ployed NPT ensemble simulations with P=0 using the Nose-Hoover thermostat which enables us to allow the size of the system to equilibrate (i.e. the size of the system is not fixed). All the reported values have been computed averaging over 300 — 400 snapshots taken over uncorrelated samples. We start with a square shaped h-BN sheet with periodic boundary conditions and initial dimensions 322A x32ll (315A xSlsA for GE) in the x and y direc- tion, respectively, which correspond to a total number of A^=37888 atoms, and which are sufficiently large in order to capture the long-wavelength regime. Periodic boundary conditions were adopted in both directions. To analyze the thermal ripples we computed the diffraction pattern which is typically studied in experi- ments to detect the size and shape of the corrugations [3| . We obtained also the mean square value of the out-of plane displacements JJh^) of the atoms and, by follow- ing previous works [33, |3g], the height- height correla- tion function {H(q)) which was determined by consid- ering an average of the height between the first neigh- bors of each atom. The latter was shown to follow a q^^ behavior that is expected from the theory of con- tinuum two-dimensional membranes at large values of q in the harmonic approximation (see below). To analyze the differences between the strain induced corrugations in the h-BN and the GE sheets we applied uniaxial and shear stress on both systems as is schematically shown in Fig. [T] In order to apply strain we set the force on the two ends equal to zero and move the end atoms with an infinitesimal compression step {dx = O.OlA) in the desired direction. After each compression step we wait for 2 ps to allow the system to relax and to ensure that the system is in thermal equilibrium [39|. Uniaxial com- pressive stress is applied along the zig-zag or armchair direction separately, and the shear stress is applied on the armchair edges with the opposite velocity for the top and bottom edges. The details of the used method of ap- plying the boundary stress can be found in our previous studies [H-Iill The TP function [H] used in the LAMMPS pack- age [SJ, I33 can be expressed as E e^.4e ^^j) with i) = Yl Yl Mrrj)[fRinj) + bijfAirrj)] (1) (2) j(>«) where /c, /r and /a are cutoff functions, the repulsive pair term, and the attractive pair term, respectively. Ty and bij are respectively the distance from atom i to atom j and the bond order function. The use of TP disregard contributions coming from charge re-distribution which may occur in an ionic crystal. The inclusion of this effect in h-BN modifies the phonon spectrum significantly only for energies corresponding to the optical modes [42|, |43| .

Therefore, the charge redistribution is expected not to affect the ther- mal fluctuations analyzed here and the use of the TP is justified ^^. III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Thermal excited ripples In Fig.[31Ja) we show a height contour plot of the atoms of the h-BN sheet for an arbitrary snapshot taken during the MD simulation at 300 K. The corresponding modeled diffraction pattern is shown in Fig.[2][b). This pattern is very similar to the one obtained for the GE sheet Q with the main difference in the distance between the Bragg points due to the unequal lattice constant of h-BN and GE. From the zoom plot around q=(0,0) (Fig.[2][c)) one observes the local structure of the central Bragg point for these intrinsic thermal ripples of h-BN. Notice that the lack of the presence of the q=(0,0) component is a consequence of the absence of a perfectly flat h-BN sheet. The signatures of the thermal induced ripples can also be seen in the mean square value of the out-of-plane fluctuations {h"^)- In Fig. ^a.) we show (/i^) as func- tion of temperature. In comparison with GE (included also in this figure for comparative purposes) we observe that (/i^) is always larger for the h-BN sheet. The weaker (stronger) the atomic B-N (C-C) bonds, the larger (smaller) the corrugations in h-BN (GE). Notice that the B-N bond is not pure covalent and it has an ionic charac- ter which is due to the different electronegativity between the two elements, i.e. the electrons are localized closer to the N atoms rather than the B atoms. Although this partially ionic structure of the h-BN layer increases the interlayer interaction resulting in a larger hardness of 3D bulk h-BN relative to graphite, it makes the single layer of BN less stiff than graphene. Moreover, the stacking of h-BN sheets in bulk h-BN is AAA stacking which is different for the ABC stacking in graphite j23i] . B. Bending rigidity K Accordingly to the two-dimensional theory of contin- uum membranes the height-height correlation function, in the harmonic approximation, where the out-of-plane and in-plane modes are decoupled, is expected to behave as iJ(g) = (|%)|2} = NkuT kSoq A ' (3) where k is the bending rigidity of the membrane, iV is the number of atoms of the sample, 5*0 the surface area per atom and fcs is the Boltzmann constant. In the large wavelength limit, i.e. for g — > 0, the height fluctuations are suppressed by anharmonic couplings between bend- ing and stretching modes giving rise to a renormalized q- dependent bending rigidity and hence Eq. ([3]) is no longer valid [Hill 0- In Fig. ^h) we show k for h-BN cal- culated from the harmonic part of H(q) between q=0.5 A~^ and q=l A~^. In agreement with the larger values of (/i^), we observe that the h-BN membrane posses a smaller k as compared to GE and in the whole temper- ature range it is about 16 % smaller at room tempera- ture (300 K). Note that k for both h-BN and GE increase with temperature. In Fig. |3Kc) we show H{q) at 200 K and 1000 K were the harmonic behavior can be clearly observed (fitted with a dashed line) and, as expected, with increasing temperature H{q) is shifted to larger q. This figure also reveals that the ripples are not charac- terized by an unique wave-length and instead follows the behavior expected from continuum membrane theory. Before ending this section it is worthwhile to investigate an alternative method to estimate the bending rigidity (flexural rigidity). A common method for calculating the bending rigidity of BN-sheet is by performing simulations of BN- nanotubes as a function of its radius (R) of the curved tubes and then extrapolating the results to R^> oo. Hence, one can calculate the elastic en- ergy of the nanotube as a function of the inverse square of the radius, E ~ ^kR^^. This method was used in Ref. [25] and in our previous work [41] to calculate the zero temperature bending rigidity of GE and h-BN which were found to be 1.46 eV and 1.29 eV, respectively. The result obtained with the Tersoff potential using Eq. (3) is less than the result of Ref. [25]. The bending rigidity of GE is larger than h-BN with about 0.15 eV in agree- ment with Ref. [25]. In order to have an indepen- dent check we estimated the bending rigidity of a BN sheet by performing several ground state simulations for (n,n) BN-nanotubes with n=5,.., 20 using the Tersoff potential. Figure 4 shows the variation of the strain energy per atom as func- tion of the inverse square radius of the tube. Fit- ting a line to the data and dividing by the area of half of unit cell atom results in k = 0.86 eV. The result of Tersoff potential agrees well with our 0.00 0.00 0.02 0.04 0.06 0.08 0.10 0.12 0.14 FIG. 4: (Color online) Variation of strain energy versus inverse square of BN-nanotube radius using Tersoff potential. 10 200 400 600 800 1000 T[K] FIG. 5: (Color online) Variation of (a) the total energy per atom and (b) the averaged bond length versus temperature for h-BN and GE (The error bar is less than 10~* eV/atom for the total energy). estimation for k using Eq. (3) (Ref. [25]). Thus we can conclude that result based on the Tersoff potential underestimate the bending rigidity as compared to the result from DFT. C. Heat capacity, thermal expansion and Gruneisen parameter The variation of the total energy per atom with tem- perature (> lOK) is shown in Fig. [5ja). The total en- ergy varies linearly with temperature and gives the corre- sponding lattice contribution to the molar heat capacity at constant pressure (the average size of the system after relaxation is taken constant) which for the h-BN sheet resuhs into Cp = dEr ~dT = 25.2(3) J mor^iC-^ (4) which is comparable to the one for a GE sheet, i.e. 24.5(9) J mol~^K~^ and close to the well known classical molar heat capacity, i.e., C = 3K ~ 24.94 J mol~^K^^, i.e., the Dulong-Petit value, where SR is the universal gas constant. Notice that the heat capacity is a tem- perature dependent parameter that will decrease for temperature below the Debye temperature. However, the classical MD simulation gives the correct high temperature asymptotic limit i.e., the Dulong-Petit value, but fails in the low and intermediate temperature range. In Fig. [5jb) we show the variation of the averaged B- N bond length with temperature. The linear behavior enables us to calculate the linear thermal expansion of the lattice parameter of a h-BN sheet as 1 da a dT lBN = -^ = 7.2(1) xlO-^K-' (5) where a= 1.442 A is the zero temperature lattice parame- ter. The obtained 7 is 33% larger than the one measured for cubic BN, i.e. 4.8xlO~^K~^ [43| and is comparable to the one found for GE, i.e. jge = 10.0(7) x IQ-^ K-\ The latter (i.e. "(nE) is in good agreement with our pre- vious studies |39l.l40|. From the obtained values of 7 and C we can compute the Gruneisen parameter asN = -pr ^ 0.89, Cp (6) where B is the two dimensional bulk modulus and p is the mass density. Using Bh^BN=SeVk^'^ [Bqe = 12.7 eVA-2 HI)), ph-BN = 2A.82/Sh-BN - 3.81 x lO^-^gm-^ [pQj^ = 7.6 X 10-4gm-2) for h-BN (GE), we obtain ubn = 0.89 (aGB=1.2). Note that the estimated value of aoE is better than the one found in Ref. |49|, i.e. -0.2, and is closer to the experimental result, i.e. 2.0 |50| . D. Buckling transition The different stiffness between the h-BN and GE sheets results in different buckling transitions. To study this, we compressed the systems uniaxially where we considered both zig-zag and armchair directions. This was done by fixing one row of atoms in each edge during the compres- sion steps as is indicated schematically in Fig. [TJ The compression rate was taken p = 0.5m/ s which is simi- lar to the one used in our previous study [40|, and small enough to guarantee that the system is in equilibrium during the whole compression process |5l| . The simula- tions were carried out at room temperature.

Arrows indicate the stress direction. where t is the time (after starting the compression) and I is the initial box length in the direction of the compres- sion. The buckling transition for the h-BN sheet kept at room temperature is found to be 0.6 (0.1) which is smaller than the one for GE, i.e. 1.0 (1.2), for uniaxial compression along the zig-zag (armchair) direction 52]. Hence, when the compression is applied in the zig-zag direction, the h-BN sheet resists much more against the external uniaxial stress as compared to the case the stress is applied along the armchair direction. The smaller critical strain at which the buckling transition in the armchair direction of the h-BN sheet takes place indicates its more sensitive nature to exter- nal uniaxial stress [53]. Although the same argument holds for GE, the difference between the two directions is much smaller. Notice that DFT calculations re- sult in a deviation in bending rigidity (flexural rigidity) between ZZ BN-nanotube and AC BN- 0.65 0.0001 , ,0.0002 U' (A)"' 0.0003 FIG. 7: (Color online) Variation of buckling strain with the longitudinal length of the BN sheet which is compressed along the zig-zag direction. nanotube (ZZ becomes larger than AC) for radius smaller than ~ SA [25] while for larger radius they are the same. A contour plot of the buckled h-BN sheet with (ft,^)=20 A^ and compressed in the zig-zag direction is shown in Fig. IHc). The obtained buckling transition for GE, i.e. 0.8%, agrees very well with our previous studies [39| and is in the range of the experimental measured buckling transition for suspended GE, i.e. 0.5%-0.7% ^E^. It is also interesting to compare the buckling strain with those predicted by the theory of loaded beam. Euler theory for a two end-loaded beam having length L pre- dicts that efc oc L~^ [40, lla^. The first demonstration by MD of Euler buckling in nanostructures goes back to the pioneer work by Yakobson et al |.57J . We performed several simulations in order to find the length dependence of the buckling strain for BN sheets which are e.g. compressed along the zig-zag direction. Figure [7] shows the variation of ei, with the longitudinal length (L) of the zig-zag BN sheet. The solid line is a fit to L~^ and the symbols are the results of our MD sim- ulations which are qualitatively in agreement with the theory of loaded beam. Finally, we report the results for h-BN and GE sheets under shear stress. Here we applied the stress only in the armchair direction as is described schematically in Fig.[T] We found that, due to the larger stiffness, to reach the same value of {h"^) a larger shear stress has to be applied in GE as compared to h-BN. In Figs. |8l^a,b) one can ob- serve significant differences between the corrugated con- figurations of h-BN and GE sheets. These samples were subjected to a shear stress of e = 1.5%. While h-BN is highly sensitive to shear stress and deforms easily, GE can resist larger stress values due to its larger rigidity. IV. CONCLUSIONS The thermal properties of a boron nitride sheet were studied using large scale atomistic simulations. We showed that the scaling properties of a h-BN sheet fol- lows closely the results of membrane theory and hence the thermal excited ripples are not characterized by any particular wave-length. Using the harmonic part of the height-height correlation function we found an increas- ing bending rigidity with temperature which is smaller than the one of graphene. We found that the buckling transition for h-BN depends on the applied compression direction and is much smaller than the one of graphene. The obtained molar heat capacity agrees very well with the well-known Dulong-Petit number, 25.2 J mol~^K^^ and the thermal expansion coefficient was found to be positive and equal to 7.2 xlQ~^K~^. The Gruneisen parameter 0.89 is found to be smaller than the one for graphene, i.e. 1.2. We showed that the different stiffness between the GE and h-BN sheets leads to different pat- terns of deformations in the presence of either uniaxial or shear stress. Acknowledgments We thank K. H.

Hi Kate in Ontario. I am familiar with this recipie and it is great! I also make it with apples or blueberries. It's good too. I actually got the recipie from a german lade. thnx for the recipie on recipezaar because I had lost mine. Great cake!!!!
Just made this over the weekend! It was light and not overly sweet. The only difference in my preparation, was that I added 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the batter. Thanks for posting a great recipe!
This was so good and Moist.The only changes I made was to use 1 1/2 cups rhubarb and next time I might double the toppings it made it taste so yummy.

Myth, Ritual, and the Warrior in Roman and Indo-European AntiquityBy: Roger D. Woodard (author)Hardback
1 - 2 weeks availability
DescriptionThis book examines the figure of the returning warrior as depicted in the myths of several ancient and medieval Indo-European cultures. In these cultures, the returning warrior was often portrayed as a figure rendered dysfunctionally destructive or isolationist by the horrors of combat. This mythic portrayal of the returned warrior is consistent with modern studies of similar behavior among soldiers returning from war. Roger Woodard's research identifies a common origin of these myths in the ancestral proto-Indo-European culture, in which rites were enacted to enable warriors to reintegrate themselves as functional members of society. He also compares the Italic, Indo-Iranian and Celtic mythic traditions surrounding the warrior, paying particular attention to Roman myth and ritual, notably to the etiologies and rites of the July festivals of the Poplifugia and Nonae Caprotinae and to the October rites of the Sororium Tigillum.

Should you buy these stocks too?
What would it take to make you feel wealthy?
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Fact: The S&P 500 is up more than +68% since the lows of
March 2009. In light of this bit of information, it might be
tempting for investors to become discouraged. After all, how much
farther can the market rise?
But looking at the past will only get you so far. What we're
looking for are tomorrow's winners. And if we only stick with the
"big dogs" on Wall Street, then we'll miss out on one of the
market's most potentially lucrative spaces.
I'm talking, of course, about small-capitalization stocks.
In general, the market-cap range for small-cap stocks is considered
to be between $150 million and $2 billion. It's easy to understand
why some might be leery about these stocks -- a small, upstart
company doesn't get the same amount of press that, say,
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL)
Wal-Mart (
does. Fewer analysts follow small caps, and share prices can also
be more volatile than larger stocks -- but that isn't always a bad
Don't forget, Apple was once a small company, too. In fact, it was
co-founder Steve Wozniak who built the first Apple computer by
hand. And before Wal-Mart became the world's largest public company
by revenue, founder Sam Walton's first store was called "Walton's
Five and Dime."
The point is, every successful company has humble beginnings. We
aren't quite looking for companies in their infancy, mind you. But
the earlier you can get in as an investor, the better. The goal of
today's Inside the Numbers isn't necessarily to find the next Apple
or Wal-Mart (although that would be nice), but rather to find
small, established, financially healthy companies that are poised
for substantial growth in the years ahead.
StreetAuthority's research team got to work looking for small-cap
winners using the following criteria:
It's important to note that we narrowed our search down to small
caps with PEGs below 1.0. This way, we're not paying an excess
premium for growth -- we're actually getting a discount. Operating
margins and profitability are important, too: we want small-cap
companies that have already staked their claim and are just
beginning to enter their prime.
Here's what we found:
Company (Ticker)
All of the stocks in the table above make for compelling
candidates worth investigating further, but let's take a look at a
few of the standouts:
Deckers Outdoor (Nasdaq: DECK)
makes active wear and casual shoes. Its flagship line, UGGS
Australia is responsible for about 85% of revenue. UGGS makes
comfortable, casual (and pricey) sheepskin boots that can be worn
throughout the year. Chances are, you've seen a few Hollywood
starlets sport the boots when they're snapped by the paparazzi --
or at the very least your wife, girlfriend or daughter is familiar
with the brand.
There are a number of factors that make Deckers shares interesting:
The stock trades for 15 times earnings, compared with an industry
average of 29. Analysts expect the company to grow earnings more
than +22% in the next five years. The stock could represent a solid
growth bargain.
True Religion (Nasdaq: TRLG)
is another fashion brand. The company makes premium (read:
expensive) jeans and casual wear sold in department stores and
boutiques. Retailers were hit hard during the downturn, but you
wouldn't know it by looking at True Religion's stock price, which
has almost doubled in the past year. Earnings have been solid and
analysts expect the company to continue to grow, yet investors are
only assigning it a PEG of just under 0.5.
Impax Labratories (Nasdaq: IPXL)
is a generic drug maker specializing in controlled release
medicines. I've made the bullish case for generic drug makers
before, and it's the same for Impax: An aging population, plus more
insured people, plus the impending patent cliff, plus an emphasis
on controlling costs all equal more money spent on generic drugs.
Impax markets a generic version of the attention deficit disorder
drug Adderall XR and, in March, received approval from the Food and
Drug Administration to market its generic version of the
blockbuster drug Flomax, which treats enlarged prostates.
Aside from long-term trends, the company has another factor working
in its favor: size. It's just large enough to compete with the
name-brand drug giants, but small enough to where it's still
generating top-line growth with each new drug. And if that weren't
enough, Big Pharma and large generic competitors like
Teva Pharmaceuticals (
have been on a buying spree lately. With each new Impax generic
drug threatening to dethrone a blockbuster coming off patent
protection, the company becomes more and more enticing as a
takeover target.
Analyst estimates were blown away when fourth-quarter sales grew by
more than +400% from a year earlier to $176 million, while earnings
grew by more than +300%. to $38 million. The company reports 2010's
first-quarter earnings on May 4th -- don't be surprised to see more
big numbers.

Project Description
We have recently re-designed our corporate website. The site has been coded using HTML5/CSS3 and jQuery. We wish to modify the default WHMCS template to be a perfect match to the rest of our corporate website, using the same fonts, colours, themes, inputs, etc.
At a minimum, you must be proficient in designing Tableless and clean HTML5 and CSS3 web pages. You must also be able to make some UI and general design desicions while creating the template to ensure that the template matches our corporate website, but also so that the WHMCS template is clear and easy to use.

US Open Of Surf 2012 - De Souza on the charge
The exit of Mick Fanning saw a day of sensational action as the men battled to the top.
Considered the biggest surf event in the world, the US Open of Surfing is often referred to as the sport's Super Bowl. With stadium seating, and crowds during the week that total in the millions, the atmosphere around the event certainly fits the billing. Wave conditions can be a challenge in the summer, with south or westerly winds popping up late morning or early afternoon. High tide also tends to suck most of the energy out of any swell in the water. But, if the right conditions come together, south side HB pier can definitely live up to the hype.

Description: Plato was a philosopher, as well as mathematician, in Classical Greece. He is considered an essential figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition, and he founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Along with his teacher Socrates and his most famous student, Aristotle, Plato laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Alfred North Whitehead once noted: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato." Plato's dialogues have been used to teach a ... (more)

Squeeze pages can also be known as landing pages. They're developed to capture the information of virtual visitors or help develop a mailing list. These pages are important towards the success of the online business. Most times, people browse websites without making up their marbles by what they really might like to do. - ClickFunnels Tutorial
A landing page makes it possible for you to definitely keep in touch with folks, send messages with time and finally close sales. However, a crappy you don't generate any leads or sales to suit your needs. It is important that you obtain it right. Here are 3 practical steps that can help you produce a great landing page.
Capture Contact info
The primary feature of your website landing page is to capture the information of people that go to your site. Make certain you offer something of worth to encourage visitors to drop their contact information. Furthermore, assure them that their personal information could be paid by you.
The contact page form on the website landing page should be basic and straightforward when it comes to filling it. Typically, you simply require names and emails. So avoid asking for additional details like residential addresses, pay grades and numbers. You don't everything information. Besides, individuals are skeptical about offering a lot of information about themselves online.
Business Details
It is important to become established as a "real business" and never a fly by night scheme on the web. Men and women not trust you unless you give any information regarding your business. They assume you just want to get their money and run. This does not help establish your credibility.
An excellent website landing page should contain your business, phone number and current email address. This becomes even more important if you are using Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising they are driving people to your page. You must understand that individuals don't know concerning your business. So include information about yourself. It shows that your company is transparent and safe.
Create a Sticky Page
A sticky squeeze page can be a page that attracts people and means they are linger around. It's not a page that chases people away because it's poorly designed. A sticky page is smartly designed and practically "forces" people to hand out their contact details.
Don't put a lot of info on your landing page. Remember that you have a web site to do this. The layout from the page needs to be attractive to whoever visits it. It ought to make sure they are read and act. Nothing turns people off than the usual cluttered website landing page with misspellings, grammatical errors and small fonts.
In conclusion, add a picture of your and yourself handwritten signature explaining who you are and just how important it's that the visitor drops off his information to ensure that you to help them or proffer an approach to their problems. - ClickFunnels Tutorial

This week, for the podcast, we discussed the curious resolution to the scandal that had enveloped school board member Marne Foster. Ry Rivard joined me as co-host to talk about his story on San Diego's overabundance of water in during a drought and what we would ask Chargers owner Dean Spanos if he were to agree to an interview.
The guest this week was Bryan Pease, an environmentalist and public interest lawyer who jumped into the city attorney's race recently. He said he wants to follow in Mike Aguirre's footsteps and be a lawyer representing the people not necessarily the City Council and mayor.
He's the only one of the five candidates to say that.
More on Foster and What Happens Now
The district attorney's warrant seeking information and evidence from San Diego Unified School District was full of revelations about what was happening behind the scene as Foster confronted her son's school and the district about what she perceived to be unfair treatment. The DA investigator who wrote the warrant describes how it shifted from a problem at the student's school to an effort by Foster to fund his education.

Wow. Cheap, good brush, nice & black, doesn't flake or clump... I can't really ask for much more in a mascara! The only reason it gets a 4 is that I have to brush it out a bit to smooth it out, but I really like this a lot. It's only like $3 too. It kind of reminds me of that "Natural Lash Darkener" stuff that CG sold when I was in high school. This isn't the mascara to buy if you want huge porn star lashes(I hate that look, lol), this is best for people who just want to darken & define their lashes for a subtle, natural look.

This Program Project, "Hormonal Control of Calcium Metabolism," brings together investigators from multiple disciplines to advance understanding of the actions of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP). There is a new focus on heterogeneity of ligand/receptor conformations with surprising biological implications, novel cellular systems, and emphasis on genetically modified rodent models that reveal specific cellular controls. Together, these approaches provide insight into previously unappreciated basic mechanisms of PTH action that in turn can lead to changes in therapy of metabolic bone disease and disorders of mineral homeostasis. Project I, "PTH and PTHrP Interaction with PTH Receptors" (Thomas Gardella, PI), will address the divergent mechanisms used by PTH and PTHrP (and related designed analogs) to change the conformation of the PTH/PTHrP receptor in ways that alter signal activation within target cells. Project II, "Genetic Analysis of Second Messengers in PTH Signaling in Bone" (Henry Kronenberg, PI), will use genetically altered mice that permit separate analyses of the roles of activation of adenylate cyclase versus phospholipase C activation by receptors on cells of the osteoblast lineage. Project III, "Second Messengers in PTH Action" (F. Richard Bringhurst, PI), will use genetically altered mice and in vitro studies to address recently identified roles of protein kinase C d and the transcriptiorial co-regulator CITED1 in mediating the actions of PTH on bone. Project IV, "Renal Regulation of Phosphate and Calcium Homeostasis" (Harold Juppner and Matthew Mahon, co-Pis) will use (1) genetically altered mice with selective alteration of mineral ion renal responses of PTH in vivo to determine the mechanisms by which PTH regulates renal mineral ion metabolism;and (2) newly developed selectively modified cell models of renal tubular action in vitro that examine the molecular basis of the phenotypes of the genetically altered mice, with a particular focus on the role of specific components of cellular cytoarchitecture in phosphate homeostasis.

remote lock tips
I've been playing with the remote find and lock option on the s5. I highly suggest that everyone at least sign into your Samsung account from a different device and see how this works. You also need to set up a password that locks your device if someone tries to do a factory reset.
One thing that I noticed about the accuracy of the find my mobile option is under security, remote controls, it gives you the option to use wireless networks. If the wireless networks option is turned on on my phone, the find my mobile option on the Samsung website can not pinpoint exactly where my phone is. It locates it within 30 miles, but never in the same spot. When I turn the wireless networks option off, the gps location shows exactly where the phone is every time.
You have to be careful though. When you turn this option off Google will continually ask for your permission to turn it back on. I guarantee that all of you have this turned on if you haven't ever played with it, and if you lose your phone it will more than likely sent you to the wrong location.

More and more City economists, on the other hand, believe the time is ripe for a cut in interest rates. With each new monthly statistic pointing to slower growth and falling confidence, some see Britain teetering on the brink of recession. Who will turn out to be right?
The Budget holds the key. Mr King said the Bank was concerned about the medium- to long-term stance of fiscal policy, and would not be able to assess this until 28 November. Certainly the financial markets' verdict on base rates will depend on how they view Kenneth Clarke's tax and spending decisions. Tax increases this year played a big role in the slowdown. Tax cuts in the Budget might reverse it.
The Chancellor will undoubtedly claim he is sticking to the fiscal straight and narrow. The big figures for tax revenues and expenditure will deliver an acceptable profile for the Government's borrowing requirement, and Mr Clarke will renew his commitment to a balanced budget in the medium term.
In practice, however, the tax and spending cuts Mr Clarke is reported to have planned - several billion pounds off taxes financed by lower expenditure, especially investment spending - will stimulate the economy. The evidence for this is presented in a paper in the latest issue of the journal Economic Policy. Authors Alberto Alesina and Roberto Perotti assess fiscal policies in 20 OECD countries since 1960 to see how different tax and spending combinations affect budget deficits. They investigate which attempts to reduce deficits succeed in achieving a significantly lower debt-to-GDP ratio.
Their first observation is thatwhen governments want fiscal expansion they usually increase spending. But they usually increase general taxation to cut the deficit. Second, on the few occasions when a lower deficit has been achieved through spending cuts rather than tax increases, public investment suffers most. One consequence is that government expenditure on welfare payments has risen far faster relative to the economy than general current expenditure.
The budget reductions that last are also the rarest: those achieved through cuts in social security and public sector jobs and wages. ``It is not the size of the adjustment that sets aside successful ones from unsuccessful ones; rather it is the composition,'' the authors write.
Examples of successful deficit reductions include Ireland from 1987-89, the US in 1976 and Britain in 1969, 1977 and 1988. In 1988, then-Chancellor Nigel Lawson announced pounds 4bn of tax cuts in the March budget. The subsequent economic boom led critics to say he had been irresponsible. But as Lord Lawson complains in his memoir, The View From Number 11, public spending excluding privatisation proceeds was flat in real terms in 1987-88 and fell in 1988-89. There was a marked fall in social security spending as a proportion of GDP. Both years saw government surpluses - the first since 1969-70.
The earlier successful deficit reductions in the UK were both a matter of crisis management. In 1977 the Chancellor, Denis Healey, was implementing an International Monetary Fund programme, imposed after the previous year's balance of payments crisis. Eight years earlier, Chancellor Jenkins was continuing the post-devaluation austerity programme introduced by his predecessor James Callaghan, which included cuts in public spending plans and an incomes policy.
The Irish three-year squeeze is the clearest example of how to go about setting public finances on an improving trend, however. Between 1986 and 1990, social security transfer programmes were cut from 17.6 per cent to 14.3 per cent of GDP, government employment fell from 307,000 to 269,000, and debt declined from 120 per cent to 107 per cent of GDP.
The authors' conclusion is stark: ``Any fiscal adjustment hoping to be successful cannot avoid dealing with cuts in the welfare state and in government wages and employment.''
The Ken Clarke combination of lower taxes and cuts in public investment and other spending programmes will not keep the deficit on a downward track, even if social security spending is indeed one of the bigger victims - and even if the spending plans are achieved.
If the Budget lives up to expectations, it will boost the economy next year and lead to improvement in the government borrowing profile in the medium term.
As the Inflation Report argues, there will be other boosts to growth in1996. One of the most important will be the absence of tax increases, after big rises for the past two years. This means higher consumer spending will underpin growth.
As the Bank of England takes care to point out, judging the direction of the economy and interest rates is a matter of weighing probabilities. There is a risk the current slowdown will go too far. But if Mr Clarke follows up the Budget boost with a cut in base rates he will be tipping the odds heavily in favour of a pre-election boom.

- - do LED lights work for a planted tank (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-planted-aquarium/do-led-lights-work-planted-tank-69863/)
do LED lights work for a planted tank
do LED lights work for a planted tank?
I have a 36G medium planted tank. just wondering if LED lights work for freshwater plants, and if so, any recommendations?
The first part of the answer yes. The second part of the answer the LEDs you actually need are very cost prohibitive and might have marginal energy savings at that. If your looking for over all savings and cost then stick with florescent, I even use household spiral CFL's in my tanks for that extra savings. Just make sure you get bulbs marked in the 6500k range of the spectrum.
Yes, they work well, running them on my newest setup. Make sure that the spectrum is right though, lots of LEDs are softwhite which does not reach the necessary spectrum for plants. I run 2 MR11 bulbs on my 6g and the plants are doing very well.

Tight end Colt Lyerla has withdrawn from the University of Oregon, according to reports out of Eugene, OR.
At 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, Lyerla was advertised as one of the best tight ends in the nation prior to his junior season at Oregon. However, GoDucks.com reported on Sunday that Lyerla is no longer a member of the Ducks football team – or even a student at the school at all.
"I love everyone at Oregon; everyone's on good terms, I believe," Lyerla said. "Just for my own benefit, it was time to move on."
Lyerla had started three of the team's first four games at tight end, but was suspended for Oregon's blowout win over Colorado on Saturday. The exact rationale behind the suspension has not been made public, but Lyerla is adamant that whatever the reason, he will still love his alma mater.
"I wish nothing but the best for coach Helfrich and the team," Lyerla said. "I love the University of Oregon and am so thankful for every opportunity that I had. I'm going to use everything I learned from this program and do my best to be successful in whatever happens in the future."
He said that his final chat with first-year coach Mark Helfrich went really well, and Helfrich agreed – although he shut the door on the matter right after.
"We wish Colt nothing but the best in the future, and will support him in any way we can," said Helfrich, who said he will decline further comment on the matter.
Lyerla had caught 34 receptions for 565 yards and 11 touchdowns in his two-plus years at Oregon and also tallied 94 rushing yards on 16 carries with another two scores.
Sophomore Pharaoh Brown and freshman Johnny Mundt are going to alternate at the position in Lyerla's stead.

The case came to light recently at Grantham and District Hospital, former workplace of child killer Beverly Allitt.
A statement from Grantham NHS Trust chief executive, Paul Roberts, issued last night, said: "I can confirm that an elderly patient was recently found to have very low blood sugar in circumstances which are unexplained.
"Expert advice indicates that the patient received an inappropriate dose of insulin.
"Hospital managers have carried out an internal inquiry. Security procedures have been stepped up as a precautionary measure. The police in Grantham have been informed and the matter is in their hands."

Less than a three hour drive from Chicago, Grand Haven, Michigan offers an escape from city life with picture-perfect Lake Michigan shores and a relaxed, Americana vibe.
Bob Peskorse / Grand Haven Visitors Bureau
There are more than 100 miles of bike paths around the Grand Haven area, winding around the beach, main streets, lakes, rivers and the dunes. Slow down and enjoy the beach town on two wheels.
Ed Post / Grand Haven Visitors Bureau
Love long walks on the beach? Try the lakeshore trail that connects Grand Haven to Holland, Michigan. You can stop at Kirk Park and beautiful Olive Shores along the way. Need some shade? The Rosy Mound Natural Area has a popular shaded canopy boardwalk around the dunes. Just be prepared to hike 1,000 feet of stairs up and down the dunes!
Locals know that no visit to the beach is complete without a stop at the Pronto Pups stand. The corndog franchise has been a Michigan staple for more than 60 years.
Stefanie Herder / Grand Haven Visitors Bureau
Cider lovers will love craft selections at Vander Mill. For beer, Odd Side Ales is a funky craft brewery with selections like Pineapple IPA and Mayan Mocha Stout.
Even if you visit the Grand Haven Lighthouse and Pier during the day, come back for the postcard-worthy sunset. It's worth the wait.

The summer season is the best time to visit Grand Haven, but if you can, come the first weekend in August for the Coast Guard Festival. Grand Haven, nicknamed the Coast Guard City, celebrates the oldest sea branch of the military with a parade, fireworks show and craft fair.

When thinking of the Kentucky Derby [1], mint juleps [2] are probably on your radar. But if bourbon isn't your thing or you're just looking for something different, boy have we got the liquor list for you. From a kiwi-tequila cobbler to twists on classic cocktails, here are 10 refreshing drinks with mint to get you in the racing (and sipping) spirit.
Kiwi Cobbler
This refreshing kiwi cobbler cocktail [3] is perfect for those warm Spring days. Make it with mint, kiwi, and tequila, and either sip it on your porch or pack it for a picnic.
We're firm believers that a darn good mojito can take any day from drab to fab. This mint and rum cocktail [4] makes for one tantalizing concoction.
Strawberry-Bourbon Cobbler
If a mint julep is too strong for your tastes — it is, after all, mostly bourbon — but you're still looking to toast to the Derby with a bourbon bevvy, try this bright and fruity take on the bourbon and mint classic [5].
A Prohibition-era classic, the southside [6] is like sophisticated gin-and-mint spin on lemonade.
Gin-lovers will want to listen up, because we've got a stellar recipe for you. The bramble [7] is an unfussy gin, lemon, and berry mixture — think potent but with a tart and fruity taste.
Pimm's Cup
For daytime drinking, it doesn't get much better than a Pimm's Cup [8], a lower-alcohol (read: refreshing) mix of Pimm's No. 1, ginger ale, mint, lemon, and cucumber.
Southern Exposure
Celery juice may be the ingenious ingredient that sets this Southern Exposure recipe [9] apart, but the aromatic oils from the mint are key, too.
Limoncello Champagne Cocktail
We could have this limoncello Champagne cocktail [10] day or night. There is a little bit of work involved, because you'll have to purée the mint, lemon peel, and limoncello, but trust us when we say it's well worth it.
Garden and Tonic
It's hard to beat a classic gin and tonic when it comes to a delightful cocktail, but this variation [11] is far better if you ask us. The starring ingredients? Elderflower liqueur, mint, cucumber, and celery bitters.
Ginger, Mint, and Pomegranate Cocktail
This is one cocktail that's festive enough for any time of year. Combine mint, ginger, and pomegranate with vodka for a spritzy refreshment that's unexpected. Watch the video, and make the recipe [12] for instant invigoration.

Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis's Genetically Modified Harvest
Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis can trace their roots back to a couple of patches of Iowa soil that their respective great-grandpappies used to own, and one day both guys figured, hey, what better way to see where they'd come from than to retrace their relatives' muddy footsteps in the cornfields? What Cheney and Ellis found wasn't the family tree, but its corn stalkwhich reaches into everything most Americans eat and drink, for better or worse (the worse part, usually). Directed by Aaron Wolf, this is a twofold journey: the story of how two college buddies learned about their agricultural heritage, and the tale of how kernels of corn have insidiously worked their way into America's dietthrough the cows who are literally overdosing on the stuff (and that is one nasty sequence) and the soft drinks sweetened with a syrup that the men find impossible to manufacture in a kitchen without damned near blowing up the house. A worthy companion piece to Super Size Me and Fast Food Nation (more the book than the movie), King Corn will put you off corn for a long, long time, but this is as much a thoughtful meditation on the plight of the American farmer as it is a rant against our expanding waistlines.
