More of the same for a lot less cash
The week before Halloween, AMD unleashed a trick on the GPU world under the guise of the Radeon R9 290X and it was the fastest single GPU graphics card we had tested to date. With a surprising price point of $549, it was able to outperform the GeForce GTX 780 (and GTX TITAN in most cases) while under cutting the competitions price by $100. Not too bad!
Today's release might be more surprising (and somewhat confusing). The AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB card is based on the same Hawaii GPU with a few less compute units enabled (CUs) and an even more aggressive price and performance placement. Seriously, has AMD lost its mind?
Can a card with a $399 price tag cut into the same performance levels as the JUST DROPPED price of $499 for the GeForce GTX 780?? And, if so, what sacrifices are being made by users that adopt it? Why do so many of our introduction sentences end in question marks?
The R9 290 GPU - Hawaii loses a small island
If you are new to the Hawaii GPU and you missed our first review of the Radeon R9 290X from last month, you should probably start back there. The architecture is very similar to that of the HD 7000-series Tahiti GPUs with some modest changes to improve efficiency with the biggest jump in raw primitives per second to 4/clock over 2/clock.
The R9 290 is based on Hawaii though it has four fewer compute units (CUs) than the R9 290X. When I asked AMD if that meant there was one fewer CU per Shader Engine or if they were all removed from a single Engine, they refused to really answer. Instead, several "I'm not allowed to comment on the specific configuration" lines were given. This seems pretty odd as NVIDIA has been upfront about the dual options for its derivative GPU models. Oh well.

Clock Variations
When AMD released the Radeon R9 290X last month, I came away from the review very impressed with the performance and price point the new flagship graphics card was presented with. My review showed that the 290X was clearly faster than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 and (and that time) was considerably less expensive as well - a win-win for AMD without a doubt.
But there were concerns over a couple of aspects of the cards design. First was the temperature and, specifically, how AMD was okay with this rather large silicon hitting 95C sustained. Another concern, AMD has also included a switch at the top of the R9 290X to switch fan profiles. This switch essentially creates two reference defaults and makes it impossible for us to set a baseline of performance. These different modes only changed the maximum fan speed that the card was allowed to reach. Still, performance changed because of this setting thanks to the newly revised (and updated) AMD PowerTune technology.
We also saw, in our initial review, a large variation in clock speeds both from one game to another as well as over time (after giving the card a chance to heat up). This led me to create the following graph showing average clock speeds 5-7 minutes into a gaming session with the card set to the default, "quiet" state. Each test is over a 60 second span.
Clearly there is variance here which led us to more questions about AMD's stance. Remember when the Kepler GPUs launched. AMD was very clear that variance from card to card, silicon to silicon, was bad for the consumer as it created random performance deltas between cards with otherwise identical specifications.
When it comes to the R9 290X, though, AMD claims both the GPU (and card itself) are a customizable graphics solution. The customization is based around the maximum fan speed which is a setting the user can adjust inside the Catalyst Control Center. This setting will allow you to lower the fan speed if you are a gamer desiring a quieter gaming configuration while still having great gaming performance. If you are comfortable with a louder fan, because headphones are magic, then you have the option to simply turn up the maximum fan speed and gain additional performance (a higher average clock rate) without any actual overclocking.

ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP
Earlier this month AMD took the wraps off of a revamped and restyled family of GPUs under the Radeon R9 and R7 brands. When I reviewed the R9 280X, essentially a lower cost version of the Radoen HD 7970 GHz Edition, I came away impressed with the package AMD was able to put together. Though there was no new hardware to really discuss with the R9 280X, the price drop placed the cards in a very aggressive position adjacent the NVIDIA GeForce line-up (including the GeForce GTX 770 and the GTX 760).
As a result, I fully expect the R9 280X to be a great selling GPU for those gamers with a mid-range budget of $300.
But another of the benefits of using an existing GPU architecture is the ability for board partners to very quickly release custom built versions of the R9 280X. Companies like ASUS, MSI, and Sapphire are able to have overclocked and custom-cooled alternatives to the 3GB $300 card, almost immediately, by simply adapting the HD 7970 PCB.
Today we are going to be reviewing a set of three different R9 280X cards: the ASUS DirectCU II, MSI Twin Frozr Gaming, and the Sapphire TOXIC.

(Nitroware) AMD Radeon R9 290X Discussion
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | October 29, 2013 - 02:21 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: R9 290X, amd
Hawaii launches and AMD sells their inventory (all of it, in many cases). The Radeon R9 290X brought reasonably Titan-approaching performance to the $550-600 USD dollar value. Near and dear to our website, AMD also took the opportunity to address much of the Crossfire and Eyefinity frame pacing issues.
Nitroware also took a look at the card... from a distance because they did not receive a review unit. His analysis was based on concepts, such as revisions to AMD design over the life of their Graphics Core Next architecture. The discussion goes back to the ATI Rage series of fixed function hardware and ends with a comparisson between the Radeon HD 7900 "Tahiti" and the R9 290X "Hawaii".
Our international viewers (or even curious North Americans) might also like to check out the work Dominic undertook compiling regional pricing and comparing those values to currency conversion data. There is more to an overview (or review) than benchmarks.

If you didn't stay up to watch our live release of the R9 290X after the podcast last night you missed a chance to have your questions answered but you will be able to watch the recording later on. The R9 290X arrived today, bringing 4K and Crossfire reviews as well as single GPU testing on many a site including PCPer of course. You don't just have to take our word for it, [H]ard|OCP was also putting together a review of AMD's Titan killer. Their benchmarks included some games we haven't adopted yet such as ARMA III. Check out their results and compare them to ours, AMD really has a winner here.
"AMD is launching the Radeon R9 290X today. The R9 290X represents AMD's fastest single-GPU video card ever produced. It is priced to be less expensive than the GeForce GTX 780, but packs a punch on the level of GTX TITAN. We look at performance, the two BIOS mode options, and even some 4K gaming."

A bit of a surprise
Okay, let's cut to the chase here: it's late, we are rushing to get our articles out, and I think you all would rather see our testing results NOW rather than LATER. The first thing you should do is read my review of the AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB Hawaii graphics card which goes over the new architecture, new feature set, and performance in single card configurations.
Then, you should continue reading below to find out how the new XDMA, bridge-less CrossFire implementation actually works in both single panel and 4K (tiled) configurations.
A New CrossFire For a New Generation
CrossFire has caused a lot of problems for AMD in recent months (and a lot of problems for me as well). But, AMD continues to make strides in correcting the frame pacing issues associated with CrossFire configurations and the new R9 290X moves the bar forward.
Without the CrossFire bridge connector on the 290X, all of the CrossFire communication and data transfer occurs over the PCI Express bus that connects the cards to the entire system. AMD claims that this new XDMA interface was designed for Eyefinity and UltraHD resolutions (which were the subject of our most recent article on the subject). By accessing the memory of the GPU through PCIe AMD claims that it can alleviate the bandwidth and sync issues that were causing problems with Eyefinity and tiled 4K displays.
Even better, this updated version of CrossFire is said to compatible with the frame pacing updates to the Catalyst driver to improve multi-GPU performance experiences for end users.
When an extra R9 290X accidentally fell into my lap, I decided to take it for a spin. And if you have followed my graphics testing methodology in the past year then you'll understand the important of these tests.

A slightly new architecture
Note: We also tested the new AMD Radeon R9 290X in CrossFire and at 4K resolutions; check out that full Frame Rating story right here!!
Last month AMD brought media, analysts, and customers out to Hawaii to talk about a new graphics chip coming out this year. As you might have guessed based on the location: the code name for this GPU was in fact, Hawaii. It was targeted at the high end of the discrete graphics market to take on the likes of the GTX 780 and GTX TITAN from NVIDIA.
Earlier this month we reviewed the AMD Radeon R9 280X, R9 270X, and the R7 260X. None of these were based on that new GPU. Instead, these cards were all rebrands and repositionings of existing hardware in the market (albeit at reduced prices). Those lower prices made the R9 280X one of our favorite GPUs of the moment as it offers performance per price points currently unmatched by NVIDIA.
But today is a little different, today we are talking about a much more expensive product that has to live up to some pretty lofty goals and ambitions set forward by the AMD PR and marketing machine. At $549 MSRP, the new AMD Radeon R9 290X will become the flagship of the Radeon brand. The question is: to where does that ship sail?
The AMD Hawaii Architecture
To be quite upfront about it, the Hawaii design is very similar to that of the Tahiti GPU from the Radeon HD 7970 and R9 280X cards. Based on the same GCN (Graphics Core Next) architecture AMD assured us would be its long term vision, Hawaii ups the ante in a few key areas while maintaining the same core.
Hawaii is built around Shader Engines, of which the R9 290X has four. Each of these includes 11 CU (compute units) which hold 4 SIMD arrays each. Doing the quick math brings us to a total stream processor count of 2,816 on the R9 290X.

AMD Aggressively Targets Professional GPU Market
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | October 23, 2013 - 11:30 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: amd, firepro
Currently AMD holds 18% market share with their FirePro line of professional GPUs. This compares to NVIDIA who owns 81% with Quadro. I assume the "other" category is the sum of S3 and Matrox who, together, command 1% of the professional market (just the professional market)
According to Jon Peddie of JPR, as reported by X-Bit Labs, AMD intends to wrestle back revenue left unguarded for NVIDIA. "After years of neglect, AMD's workstation group, under the tutorage of Matt Skyner, has the backing and commitment of top management and AMD intends to push into the market aggressively." They have already gained share this year.
During AMD's 3rd Quarter (2013) earnings call, CEO Rory Read outlined the importance of the professional graphics market.
We also continue to make steady progress in another of growth businesses in the third quarter as we delivered our fifth consecutive quarter of revenue and share growth in the professional graphics area. We believe that we can continue to gain share in this lucrative part of the GPU market based on our product portfolio, design wins in flight, and enhanced channel programs.
On the same conference call (actually before and after the professional graphics sound bite), Rory noted their renewed push into the server and embedded SoC markets with 64-bit x86 and 64-bit ARM processors. They will be the only company manufacturing both x86 and ARM solutions which should be an interesting proposition for an enterprise in need of both. Why deal with two vendors?
Either way, AMD will probably be refocusing on the professional and enterprise markets for the near future. For the rest of us, this hopefully means that AMD has a stable (and confident) roadmap in the processor and gaming markets. If that is the case, a profitable Q3 is definitely a good start.
Taking the ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP as far as it can go
Subject: Graphics Cards | October 23, 2013 - 10:20 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, overclocking, asus, ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP, r9 280x
Having already seen what the ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP can do at default speeds the obvious next step, once they had time to fully explore the options, was for [H]ard|OCP to see just how far this GPU can overclock. To make a long story short, they went from a default clock of 1070MHz up to 1230MHz and pushed the RAM to 6.6GHz from 6.4GHz though the voltage needed to be bumped from 1.2v to 1.3v. The actual frequencies are nowhere near as important as the effect on gameplay though, to see those results you will have to click through to the full article.
"We take the new ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP video card and find out how high it will overclock with GPU Tweak and voltage modification. We will compare performance to an overclocked GeForce GTX 770 and find out which card comes out on top when pushed to its overclocking limits."

Welcome to Vaporizing
Vaporizers have a rich history of helping people alleviate cough, cold and flu symptoms. The word "vaporizer" typically calls to mind the classic medicinal vaporizer, traditionally used by parents to humidify their children's bedrooms and living space. While the Vicks Vaporizer is the torchbearer for the science of liquid vaporization, in recent decades the definition has expanded from simply liquid vaporization to the herbal vaporization process known as aromatherapy, sometimes known as "phyto-inhalation."
It's no secret that aromatherapy vaporizers are getting a great deal of publicity these days. With new advances and revelations in health, nutrition and holistic healing, technology companies are scrambling to develop the healthiest, most effective means of administering medication in order to satisfy this new demand for cutting-edge delivery devices. But with so many of these products being produced how do you know which vaporizers are made with your lifestyle and well-being in mind?
This is where VaporNation can help. We make it our priority to be fully educated on every device that enters our inventory and we are committed to delivering accurate, reliable information every step of the way. We pride ourselves on our expertise with aromatherapy products and we are happy to share our wealth of vaporizer resources with you so that you become an expert yourself. Our informational resources make it easy to understand crucial details such as how vaporizers work, what materials are best for each vaporizer, and how to maintain and get the best results out of your vaporizers.

Blur: 13 (Food)
Still trying to persuade us that they made Parklife in a previous life, Blur leave perky brass and polished vignettes even further behind here than they did on 1997's self-titled album. "Coffee & TV" is a sweet morsel of almost-Britpop, but the rest of 13 is a druggy haze of mutilated guitars, blank-stare vocals and hypnotic effects, courtesy of William Orbit, who also produced last year's Madonna album. Amazing as it may seem, the first single, "Tender", is indeed the most obviously commercial selection.
13 could almost be a remix album. The tracks are less like full songs than song fragments which have been wrenched and stretched out of shape, as if a jazz band were spinning off and away from the sheet music. It won't restore Blur to the hearts of Smash Hits readers, but after a few listens, everyone else should be drawn in: Blur's noisiest, strangest album is also their most beautiful and affecting, with the adventurous spirit and sonic scope of Radiohead and Beck. It confirms Blur to be a truly world-class band.
And yet, the freeform songwriting approach does have its frustrations. The lyrics are reportedly inspired by Damon Albarn's break-up with Elastica's Justine Frischmann, but you'd gather this from fewer than half of them. Why does one of the best lyricists of his generation think it's cooler to drawl "Give me fever/ I'm a believer, yeah yeah" than to write a proper verse? Albarn's Iggy Pop impersonation is even less convincing than his Chas'n'Dave one. NB
Skunk Anansie: Post Orgasmic Chill (Virgin) This doesn't start promisingly. Skunk Anansie's third album opens with a couple of characteristic agit-prop funk-metal work-outs just to prove that the band are still the angry politico-rock terrorists they've always been, however many million records they've sold. But these tracks amount to flailing, incoherent copies of their early material, and it's a relief when the band chill out, post-orgasmically or otherwise, and settle into a run of mid-tempo anthems and lighter-waving ballads. The lyrics dig into the guts of a relationship, Skin's voice is as unstoppable as ever, and a string orchestra is deployed more imaginatively than they usually are. Hit singles coming up. NB
Robert Wyatt: EPs (Hannibal)
Five-CD boxed set of extended-play releases by the former Soft Machine drummer and all-round eminence grise of avant-garde English pop and rock. The famous cover version of the Monkees' "I'm a Believer" (which, following his accident, Wyatt memorably performed on Top of the Pops from his wheelchair), is included, along with the Falklands War-era "Shipbuilding" (written by Elvis Costello). There are also excerpts from the soundtrack to Victor Schonfield's The Animals' Film, together with works in progress and remixes from last year's acclaimed Schleep album. Hear 'em and weep. PJ

Is this a correct sentence?
Hello. . . wanted to know if this was a correct sentence;
We can not believe how difficult.
***I can't use contractions since this is APA format and "grammerly told me this sentence was correct". Just confused.
1 answer
Your sentence is not a complete sentence, regardless of whether or not you use contractions. You must describe 'what' is difficult in your sentence. You would be wise to clarify all of the general statements in your document. Following is a simple example:
"The English test was incredibly difficult for all of us."
"We all struggled with the English test because the questions were incredibly difficult."
Since I do not know just 'what' was so difficult, I substituted the words 'English test' but you can use either of the sentences above and rewrite it to suit your needs.
Good luck!

A newcomer to the Bodrum resort scene, Gumbet holidays have risen in popularity thanks to its terrific hotel deals, exciting nightlife and delicious restaurants.
This resort is located just a stone's throw away from the city of Bodrum and it is easy to share all of the facilities, beaches and attractions that the larger resort provides too. Gumbet has plenty to offer within its smaller surroundings though with boat trips and water sports offered off the coast as well as a popular set-list of nightly shows and entertainment.
The 18-30 travellers will love the fun and games offered within Gumbet both day and night while families will also find fun and attractions that all ages can enjoy.
Gumbet features a kilometre long coastline where the beach is backed by some fantastic restaurants and cafes. If you buy a drink or a snack from some of the beachfront businesses then you are free to use the sunbeds and parasols that are laid out for you.
The sandy beach is a Blue Flag winner which means that it is a certified safe and clean spread of sand that is ideal for relaxing and playing.
The waters in front of the beach remain calm and you'll see dozens of yachts and boats anchored off the shore. You'll also spot water sport enthusiasts whizzing by on a range of equipment.
If you want to get involved with some of the aquatic fun offered on holidays to Gumbet then stop in at one of the many water sport centres and diving centres found along the coast. Those who want to enjoy a day of scuba diving can take a PADI qualification course at Aqua Deep Diving Centre or head out in search of underwater wreckage sites with Happy Bubbles Diving Centre.
Nearby there are plenty of opportunities to get active out in the sun too. The Aquapark Dedeman Bodrum is a short drive away past the neighbouring resort of Bitez, there are always boat trips available to take you around the coast or to dazzling islands, or you can rent vehicles to get you around the scenic region of Bodrum with scooters and quad bikes available for hire.
People gather from miles around to enjoy the many lively venues that perk up at after dark here. With shows, entertainment, drinks offers and pumping dance floors, every night out in Gumbet can be spent experiencing something new.
The Dream Girls Theatre hosts a popular and sparkling drag show which has been performed for over a decade now. With two performances a week, this dinner and show is a hilarious performance where flamboyant hits from the last 30 years are belted out for the crowd.
Bar Street is the place to spend long nights out that last until sunrise. There are plenty of bars and clubs to sample along this popular area of town with Shakeys, Central and X-Bar proving a hit with tourists. The bright lights of Chico's Cocktail Bar, Hollywood Bar and Atlantis will try and lure you inside too while you can unleash your inner star at the beachside Roy's Place Karaoke Bar.
Gumbet's shopping facilities are restricted to simple souvenir shops and small supermarkets but nearby Bodrum offers a terrific range of malls and markets.
Weekly markets are held every Tuesday and Friday next to the main bus station while there is a classic-styled shopping area in the old town of Bodrum. By the castle and the marina there are also arts and craft stalls where you can pick up a souvenir with real Turkish charm.
If you're looking for something more modern or items that are genuine rather than the fakes found at some of the markets, you should browse through Oasis, Midtown Mall or the Avenue Bodrum shopping centres.
The city of Bodrum and its smaller resort areas like Gumbet at Bitez has hundreds of eateries to sample and you'll find plenty within easy walking distance of your accommodation.
Almost every restaurant offers its own blend of Turkish cuisine alongside another theme in Gumbet. Peter's Place is a popular Irish spot that serves local dishes, Annalivia is a steakhouse that adds a Turkish twist on things while The Royal Restaurant offers flavours from all over the world.
The drive south to Gumbet from Bodrum-Milas Airport will take around three quarters of an hour. Coach transfer times may take long depending on the amount of drop offs.
There are many pre-bookable methods of transportation to help you get around on holidays to Gumbet. Boat trips, road tours and resort transfers are all available and you'll get a better price when you book in advance.
Dolmus busses run around the Bodrum city area although it is possible to reach nearby Bitez on foot, however this method takes you up a steep hill which may prove challenging for older visitors.
Daily average temperatures reach a stunning 34C during summers in Gumbet but the days are known to reach 40C and above sometimes. Either side of the summer season the temperatures stay well above 20C for several months meaning you can enjoy a sunny getaway here from April until November.
The summer season is the busiest and the shows, bars and activities will be in full swing from May until September in Gumbet.

Q. Can I drive in Nevada and California with just my old-style driving licence?
M K Belcher
A. Yes. Thankfully, the rules for British visitors motoring anywhere in the US are now entirely uniform, regardless of the state in which you are driving.
Until this month, the state of Florida was out of step by insisting that foreign motorists carry an International Driving Permit, but that controversial law has now been repealed. So in Nevada, California and across the US, all you need is your normal national licence. That could be the old-style licence, without a picture - though if you are in the back of beyond, you may face a challenge convincing the man or woman behind the car-rental desk that British licences really do look like that.
Most of us carry the credit-card-sized picture licence. In theory it is valid only with the green slip of paper called the "counterpart" that contains details of any endorsements, etc. I have only ever been asked for the counterpart in the UK, never in the US or anywhere else abroad - but I carry it anyway.
Finally, wherever you are driving in the US, beware of the many pitfalls for holidaymakers renting cars - of which I have experienced a few: ind.pn/wNQhWY

|Ever since I remember, I buried myself in books. I love everything about reading! I love the weight of a book in my hands, the sound of pages turning, the musty smell of old tomes, the crisp-inkiness of newly printed pages, the cracking spine on a brand-new hardcover, the orderly arrangement of rows upon rows of words marching across ivory pages. And best of all, for me, each book opens a door to new, exciting explorations. In non-fiction, I savor the pleasure of learning what the author knows, soaking it in. With fiction, I experience the bliss of living ways that my ordinary life wouldn't allow. I confess. I am biblio-hedonist. Having confessed that, though, my parents, with their dissimilar backgrounds nurtured my analytical side, and as a follower of Jesus, I tend to see through glasses tinted by a biblical worldview but, of course, I'm not always 20/20. Also, as a homeschooling mom, I try to extract meaning and learn from everyone and everything. Finally, as a voracious reader with a knack for summarizing content, and after the encouragement of friends, I began this blog to share what I've read and ask for your response to questions that emerge as a result.

Jasmine Dellal, Little Dust
A dazzling display of the musical world of the Roma, juxtaposed to the real world they live in. This rich feature documentary celebrates the luscious music of top international Gypsy performers and interweaves stirring real life tales of their home life and social background. Shot by documentary icon Albert Maysles, the film takes place on tour in Europe and in the USA during the Gypsy Caravan concert tour put on by WMI, as well as on location in Spain, Macedonia, Romania and India. Directed by Jasmine Dellal whose recent feature, AMERICAN GYPSY, won international acclaim for it's portrait of an American Romani family battling a decade of drama.

I recently ran across a fantastic source for new Cream Cans (Milk Cans) that can be used for a Cream Can (Milk Can) Dinner.
For a family reunion that I cooked for, I searched high and low for a source for used cream cans.� I called thrift stores, Intermountain Farmer Stores, an old dairy, and a couple of old farmers in my community and was not able to find a milk can that I could use for a Cream Can Dinner.� My wife got involved and finally, we were able to locate an old can (with some significant rust problems on the inside) from a distant uncle that we used to cook our Cream Can Dinner to feed our family reunion.
Ever since then, I have been on the lookout for a source for Cream cans that I could recommend to our readers.
If you ever run into a used cream can (in good condition, i.e. no rust) at a yard sale, thrift store, etc.� Buy it.� It will be a good investment.
However, if you cannot find a source for a used can, I have found the source for new Cream Cans that I would recommend.� It is the Ogallala Cream Can Supper Company.� They offer 4 sizes of Cream cans (1 1/4 Gallon, 2 1/2 Gallon, 5 1/4 Gallon, and 10 1/2 Gallon) and all of their cans are made of Stainless Steel.� You know, the metal that resists rust.� I wish I had been able to find a stainless steel cream can instead of the old rusted out one we used.� I scrubbed that rust out for hours and hours so it wouldn't get anyone sick when I cooked my Cream Can Dinner.
These Cream Cans have no seams for food to get caught in and that makes clean up easy.� There is a hole in the lid to let steam out when cooking. (By the way about 30 minutes after you see steam, time to eat!) This works a bit like a pressure cooker so it works fast!
Cream can dinners are perfect for back yard get-togethers, tailgate parties, wedding rehearsal dinners, actually any time you want to feed lots of folks.
The smallest can (1 1/4 Gallon) - the baby of the Ogallala Cream Can Supper family will feed 2-3 hungry people in less than an hour after ya start cookin�.
The 2 1/2 Gallon can will feed 4-6.
The larger cans (5 1/4 or 10 1/2 gallon cans) will feed 12 to 15, or 30+!� I was able to feed an entire family reunion of over 40 people with my 10 1/2 gallon can.
A little history of the Ogallala area.� From 1870-1885 Ogallala was the destination of countless cowboys driving cattle north from Texas to the railhead. And ever since then, Ogallala has been cattle country. Well with cattle, you gotta do some branding. And a very popular way of feeding a bunch of hungry cowboys was with a cream can meal. If you don�t think this is still done to this day, well - you haven�t been to cattle country.
If you are in the market for a Cream Can, give Phil and John a call over at the Ogallala Cream Can Supper company.� They will hook you up with a can that will last for generations!

The T&T at VET institutions deliver training or act as mediators between course owners and end-users, willing to improve the quality of VET, increase learning capacity and accessibility, try to supply individual needs of their learners and evaluate learners' competences and expectations for learning, and also do their best to be more labour market oriented.
During the implementation of EVETE project (No. LT/05/B/F/PP-171010) T&T needs were addressed and Curriculum on T&T e-learning competences was prepared on the basis of FENTO professional competence standard. New and highly innovative methodology was created basing Learning Units on standards of competences, with the possibility to use competence assessment before the learning process and directing the end-users to select individual learning path. T&T were trained and gained e-learning competences, but they did not have possibilities to transfer their practice into their VET institutions to practically apply their knowledge and skills using EVETE tools and transferring EVETE methodology to new specific sectors that they are working with. EVETE methodology and tools were not transferred to new specific sectors yet.
EVETE 2 is addressing T&T at VET institutions, and their needs to facilitate innovative Curriculum development using ICT tools and applying highly innovative methodologies in designing new learning units for their end-users and to transfer EVETE methodology to new specific sectors. T&T who do not have or have very narrow experience in didactics and pedagogy can use already developed CA tools and Curriculum development tools and be facilitated in application of their competences and skills to meet individual needs based on huge diversity in backgrounds, strengths and weaknesses.
The project aims at providing T&T at VET organizations with understanding and competence in diversification of training based on individual expectations and abilities to manage training content in practice for new specific sectors. To achieve this, online course modules based on learning units and competence frameworks will be developed that will enable VET T&T to apply new didactical and pedagogical approach. In this way, T&T will revisit their old teaching Curriculum and will transfer new and highly innovative and qualitative methodology into their practice.
In the project, previously developed on-line tools for competence assessment and a course support package providing conditions for adaptation of learning material to national and individual learner's needs will be transferred and valorized to new specific sectors. European partnership will ensure a broad dissemination of individualized learning culture that will assist VET T&T in facing challenges of the new learning paradigm through development of new forms of learning and teaching.
The overall objective of this project is to provide possibilities for T&T to transfer methodology used in EVETE 1 into the areas of their practice, different sectors that they are working for, and to develop new Curriculum on the basis of competence framework and EVETE tools created for individualised learning of their end-users in new sectors. By reaching this objective, T&T will become autonomous actors in their sectors basing their teaching material on competence frameworks and creating and easily updating new Curriculum on the basis of their learners' needs. They will also become T&T who will be able to apply their own competences and work in different levels of education institutions, and they will be trained on the basis of consistent methodology developed in previous project EVETE 1, that meets the needs of EU priorities of T&T training policies. By reaching this general objective, the project will address the priority of LLL program "to enhance the attractiveness of VET and mobility for [T&T] and to facilitate the mobility of working trainees".
The specific objectives of the project are the following:
To analyse and select available professional competence frameworks (PCF) in each Partner country and select competences for a specific sector. This project objective will correspond and will contribute to the EU LLL operational objective "to improve the transparency and recognition of qualifications and competences, including those acquired through non-formal and informal learning".
to adapt EVETE 1 methodology and tools to new sector competence framework and to develop competence assessment online tool for the new specific sectors' end users, that would address the new sectors' learning needs. This objective will address the need "to support participants in training and further training activities, in the acquisition and the use of knowledge, skills and qualifications to facilitate personal development, employability and participation in the European Labour Market". The representatives of the new sector will be able to assess their competences with EVETE 2 tools and will benefit from direction in the learning paths.
T&T working in specific sectors will use EVETE tools to develop their own Curriculum for their end-users. They will use EVETE methodology and tools, and the Curriculum will be based on new pedagogical paradigm and Learning Units. In this way, they will get trained themselves on practical basis, and their end users will benefit from high quality learning material. This will address LLL priority "to support improvements in quality and innovation in vocational education and training systems, institutions and practices".
The following needs of a labour market are also addressed in this project:
facilitation of lifelong VET process through innovative attitude to individualized learning
initiation of VET accreditation seeking to ensure adequately perceived quality and professional standards

Finally, the property is located in one of the most exclusive parts of the entire island, providing easy access to the mainland and lots of personal space while on the beach
What makes this house unique
Beautifully decorated, well equipped kitchen, spectacular views, open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, gas fireplace, main floor laundry room, working wet bar, 60" flat screen in living room, free wireless access, large Jacuzzi in master bath, outside shower.

Family vacation
Hot Tuna is a wonderful house for a family vacation including the dog. Great location at the end of the island, very convenient to shops and restaurants. Beautiful views of the ocean and uncrowded beach from decks and most. rooms of the house. The house is very comfortable, roomy and clean. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out but still be together. The island has plenty to do without being too touristy. The owner was great to work with and replied to e-mails very quickly.
Nice location but house run down.
Great neighborhood and good beach access but the house is a bit run down and very dirty.
Multiple area shag rugs had food , dirt, and sand in and under them.
The linens provided were nice however all the bed spreads had stains on them.
Upstairs bedroom had rug covering where carpet was damaged. Air intake vents had clearly not been changed/ cleaned in along time. Multiple cabinets where broken and would not stay shut. There was a smashed fly in master bedside table!
When we mentioned this to sun surf rentals about cleaning they said owners had someone do it and they did not use their cleaning service.
Overall, there were no major problems, but for the price, a more polished presentation would've been appreciated.
Beyond Perfect!
Words cannot describe how perfect our stay was at Hot Tuna. My husband and I were looking for a last minute beach house rental for our wedding; as soon as we contacted Nancy she did all that she could to make sure we had a rental. The house was perfect for our beach wedding, the patio stairs and walkway to the beach was everything we had envisioned. Hot Tuna easily accommodated all of our family and friends for a dinner afterwards. During our stay Nancy was very kind and helpful; she made sure our stay was one that we would never forget. The house is absolutely great and Nancy is an awesome homeowner that is willing to take the extra step to help others out, I would definitely recommend this house to anyone visiting the Emerald Isle area.
Stress Eliminator!
A+++++++++! We had a wonderful stay at Hot Tuna. The homeowner was excellent to work with and the home was very clean and comfortable. The beach access was great! This was definitely one of the most relaxing and restful stays we have ever experienced - will definitely be back!!!!
Love, love, love the new decor! The pictures just don't do the place justice. You can't capture the spaciousness of the common areas (kitchen/dining/great room)in a two dimensional picture. We daily served meals to 22 people and had plenty of space! I have recommended this property to numerous friends. It's clean and well-maintained.
A perfect week!
A perfect week at the beach. I can't wait to go back again next year. The house was beautiful. We had a large group and we never felt crowded. I can't recommend this property strongly enough. We dealt directly with the owners who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. We stayed in the master suite which puts our home suite to shame. I've never seen the ocean look so beautiful.

Book Description What do tattooed Egyptian mummies of 2000 BC have in common with modern sub-cultural styles? From mini-skirts to skin decoration, make-up to hair, dress is imbued with symbols that reflect different meanings in different contexts. Calefato picks apart the multiple functions of modern dress, considering the psychological, cultural, spiritual and symbolic significances at play. What we wear is a vehicle for the (often contentious) expression of politics, gender and identity and therefore clothing is at the root of a complex set of messages, many paradoxical. Clothing may, for example, liberate through the pleasures of masquerade and at the same time "cage" or control the body. The Clothed Body shows how semiotics can provide a convincing template for understanding dress in a wide range of contexts.

I highly recommend that no traveler should stay at this hotel or any of the other sister properties owned by the Relais Group Hotels.My wife and I traveled all over Europe this summer and nothing was as bad as our stay at this hotel. There is no way this is a 4 star hotel. At best it is a 2 star. The only good thing about this hotel is its location. There is no elevator and the breakfast is not worth eating even if its free.
Examples of all the problems:The entire staff was extremely rude and unprofessional. Our air conditioner never worked and made it impossible to sleep at night since its very hot in Rome during the summer. It was unbearable to stay inside the room. Unless you like sleeping in a sauna, dont expect to get a good nights sleep. We were promised 3 times that they would fix it, but each time they lied and said that it was fixed. No one would take responsibility and would blame the technician or other hotel staff.
Also, the dirty shower and bathroom was horrible. Everytime we showered, the entire bathroom would flood within a couple minutes. We would have to use all our towels to keep the water from going into the main room. We called and asked for extra towels since all of ours were being used to stop the flooding into the room, and we were brought up dirty used towels, since they didn't have any clean ones. Like the air conditioner, the staff had promised us 3 times that this problem was corrected, but it was obvious that they didn't even look at it.
There were several ants and bugs through out the room. On our first morning we were woken up to pounding construction noises from the building. We asked several times to be moved and the same words of "Not Possible" were told to us.
The worst part was that we had accidently booked our last night with a separate reservation since we had decided to stay an extra night in Rome several days before our arrival. My wife had accidently made the last nights reservation for one night after our departure. We were called and harrased to pack our bags and to get out. I pleaded our case to them and said that our reservation was incorrectly made for the wrong night and begged them to move it forward one night. Their answer was, "Not Possible". He said to leave and come back the following night, even though we already had our flights to leave Rome. It was almost as if the front desk was happy to see us stuck in a bad situation. After a few minutes, we had the front desk person in or room, yelling and pushing us out of our room. My wife was changing clothes and he would not leave the room. They would not work with us to move our reservation and told us that we were left with no choices. I think that this was a huge blessing, because the Expedia rep was on the phone with me and she heard the harrasement over the phone and said no guest should be treated this way and refunded our incorrect reservation immediately. She also, mentioned that she was going to report this hotel to the appropriate Expedia department to have it removed. We moved down the street to an amazing real 4 star hotel, the Valadier, for almost the same price. I highly recommend this hotel. it was perfect and true pleasure. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!! or at any of their sister properties within the Relais Group Hotels. Ironically, we met another couple in Greece that had a similar experience at one of their other hotels.
I never participate in sharing experinces online, but this was so bad that i felt obligated to report it and warn other potential visitors. Just read the other peoples reviews for confirmation.

BATON ROUGE — Major Gen. Hunt Downer finally let loose Thursday on what has been the worst-kept secret in south Louisiana politics and joined attorney Ravi Sangisetty as the second Houma native to declare his candidacy for the 3rd Congressional District.
It's a small hometown field for now, but diverse. Downer, a former speaker of the state House of Representatives and one-time gubernatorial candidate, is a Republican, while Sangisetty, a political newcomer who has mounted an aggressive fund-raising effort, is a Democrat.
Both men are vying to replace U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville, this fall. Melancon, who could have stood for re-election, has instead chosen to oppose incumbent U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., of Metairie.
On the northwestern side of the district, which also encompasses all of Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, New Iberia attorney Jeff Landry already has the support of many Acadiana Republicans and has had a sophisticated campaign on the ground for months. Oilfield manager Kristian Magar, a fellow Republican from New Iberia, is another contender from the region.
State Rep. Nickie Monica, R-LaPlace, was officially in the race, but bowed out upon Downer's expected entrance earlier this year.
Downer filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission Thursday to be come a candidate but said a "formal" announcement will come in June.
As for why he's jumping in, Downer said he couldn't stand on the sidelines much longer.
"As a father and grandfather, I'm alarmed at Washington's out-of-control spending, the push for higher taxes, and our ever increasing national debt," he said. "These are problems we must tackle today. We cannot pass down this burden to the next generation. If there is one thing I've demonstrated, it's that I'm willing to step on toes to get things done. I'll continue to do the same in Washington."
Downer recently retired as a major general from the Louisiana National Guard after serving more than 35 years, during which time he was the recipient of more than 40 military awards, including the Southwest Asia Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Medal.
While in the Legislature, Downer served as speaker pro tempore under former Gov. Buddy Roemer and speaker of the House under former Gov. Mike Foster. Roemer switched from Democrat to Republican during his only term in office, while Foster switched from Democrat to Republican before his first term.
Downer, who was once a registered Democrat, also served as a legislative liaison and cabinet official under former Gov. Kathleen Blanco, a Democrat.
He is of counsel with the local firm Waitz and Downer and was previously a partner in several small oil-field service companies.

Baitig bears was abolished during the early 70's in NC. The bear population had been dessimated because of this practice along liberal bag limits. In an effort to help the bear population rebound, the resource commission closed bear hunting for a number of years, established black bear sanctuaries across the state and once they opened the season again, they made baitig illegal.
The irony of the situation is hunters whom persue bears with dogs can "bait" an area to keep bears there, but they can't shoot the bears over the bait. They may release their dogs in the area to track and bay the bear but they better not shoot the bear over the bait. Does it make any sense to you because it doesn't to me?
And, of course, deer hunters baiting deer can't shoot bears over bait.

Great old time ice cream parlor the décor is great. I though that the price was a bit high. The ice cream was good but if you are familiar with artesian ice cream is a bit watered down and the nuts in the ice cream seamed stale or soft.
For some reason people dig this place but it cannot seriously be for the ice cream. Just look at the photos other people have posted and you can see how much water is in the ice cream. It really is B grade quality. If you want Dean's ice cream just go to the grocery store and get a 1/2 gallon...
I recently had my mother's 90th birthday there. She had her 80th, and 85th there as well. Staff is great! A wonderful place with the best ice cream and creations.
The Brown Cow is a hidden gem! A hole in the wall with the best ice cream in the area! Whenever we eat on Madison street dinner is always followed by the Brown Cow. Homemade and delish!! Get the chocolate peanut butter for PB lovers❤❤
Brown Cow is completely delicious and serves amazingly large portions of ice cream The "Brown Cow" is served in a milkpail and serves (at minimum) 2 people. It is in a neat building on Madison, and has the feel of a classic neighborhood ice cream shop.
We received great service, too, and we were in a group of 9 people!...
Been going here since it opened ten years ago. So glad the family, named Brown, have succeeded running their own business when many gelato and ice cream places nearby have shut down, including Ben and Jerry's. I don't even like chocolate peanut butter ice cream, but Brown Cow's made a convert of me. The ice cream birthday cakes are out...
great ice cream...good choice of flavors...lots of options...nice treat as you stroll through downtown Forest Park.
Located in the heart of Forest Park, this charming ice cream parlor offers a large variety of flavors and treats. We went with two very basic choices -- 2 scoops of mint chocolate chip in a dish, and a 2 scoop hot fudge sundae. The scoops of ice cream are very generous. And unlike some mint ice creams that have...
This is a favorite of our family. This is a family owned business and it shows in the care they take in everything they do! They make some of their own ice cream flavors and the ones they don't are very tasty. The peanut butter chocolate and the strawberry are my favorites. They portions are giant and it's usually bustling...
This family owned parlor offers an array of excellent ice creams, and just outstanding coffee. As well as reeeally good cookies. I don't indulge a lot in sweets at my age, but this is the place to go when the craving hits. Housed in a century old building that used to be a theater. Loads of character to go with...

The Biostatistics Core for this program project is staffed with members of the Biostatistics and Informatics Shared Resource of the Masonic Cancer Center. The working principles of this Core reflect those delineated in a recent report from the working group convened by the Royal Statistical Society to study statistical and scientific issues related to 'First in man Studies'(March 2007). Their views are exemplified by the quote "Statistician's input concerns matters of ethics, science, and public health, reporting standards, practicality and common sense, not just the purely methodological." In addition, the team that prepared this application will also support the critical need for sound, secure and efficient data systems and appropriate quality assurance and quality control procedures. To that end, the primary objective of the Biostatistics Core is to contribute to the science and operation of the program project by participating fully in its activities as it has for the preparation of this application. This includes assistance and direction in experimental design, quality control, data collection and management, and statistical data analysis through consultation and collaboration.
The Specific Aims of the Core are as follows: SA 1: Assist in experimental designs and provide data analysis plans. SA 2: Develop new biostatistical methods when necessary and appropriate SA 3: Implement Quality Assurance (QA) plans for all data collection activities SA 4: Support existing and develop new (when necessary) database applications for data collection and integration.
Core B provides vital biostatistical services which will ensure safe planning, conduct and analysis of animal studies and clinical trials. In addition, the team will support sound, secure and efficient data systems and appropriate quality assurance and quality control procedures.These biostatistical support and data system management services are crucial to the overall goal of the program project to improve treatment of lethal hematologic malignancies.
