text: Anritsu waveguide mixer now supports V-Band millimetre wave measurement20 Jan 2016 11:53 AM New MA2806A supports the monitoring of previously hidden real millimetre wave spectrum in the 50-75 GHz V-bandsAnritsu has expanded the capabilities of its MA2806A Waveguide Mixer to incorporate millimetre wave measurement solutions. Connecting the new MA2806A to Anritsu's MS2830A signal analyser supports spectrum measurements in the 50 GHz to 75 GHz band (V-band) currently used by various millimetre wave sensors, WiGig Gigabit wireless LAN (802.11ad), and broadcast video camera streaming equipment.The company points out that adoption of the millimetre wave band is increasing the need for new instruments supporting accurate and high-sensitivity measurements of wider-band signals. Not only are wider bandwidths being used for HD video streaming at sports events and in broadcast studios as well as for WLAN applications using WiGig (802.11ad), it is also seeing increasing use for human detection and vehicle sensing applications.Evaluation of the spectrum of millimetre-wave band ultra-wideband signals requires solutions to measure the characteristics of the transmission easily and accurately. Conventional harmonic mixers used for this task suffer from large conversion loss as well as image responses where a non-existent ghost signal is displayed.The high performance Waveguide Mixer MA2806A solves these problems by supporting accurate and high-sensitivity measurements of wireless communications infrastructure and equipment using wideband millimetre wave signals.Key features of the MA2806A include a P1dB performance of better than 0dB as well as a minimum sensitivity performance of -150 dBm/Hz, which means it can measure extremely weak signals not found by conventional measurement systems; by combining the MA2806A with the MS2830A designed for a high IF of 1.875 GHz, the solution supports spectrum mask measurements of 1-GHz bandwidth signals without image response effects; the MA2806A also comes with the conversion loss correction data for all frequencies which allows for a simplified measurement procedure.

Looking Ahead: Operating A Stock Photography Business
Posted on 7/15/2010 by
Jim Pickerell

Comments (0)
This story provides links to a five part series of articles designed to help photographers understand the major trends impacting the industry in 2010 and help them plan for the future. We outline some of the issues to consider, new business models to explore and things to focus on in order to have a profitable business. Following the first five stories are links to some additional articles on the business of stock photography that may be of interest.
Business Planning Series - September 2009
Business Planning For The Future: Four Major Trends
If you do not plan to retire before 2015, and the money you earn from stock photography is an important part of your gross income, it is not too early to begin devising a plan for modifying your photography business. This article will examine four major trends that affect the future of stock photography and outline other issues that photographers need to consider as they plan for the future.
Business Planning For The Future: Issues To Consider
In the previous story we discussed four major trends in the stock photo industry and listed eleven other related issues that photographers should consider carefully as they try to determine the future prospects of their stock photo business. Below I have discussed each one of these eleven in some detail.
Business Planning For The Future: New Business Models Needed
The previous article in this series (Business Planning For The Future: Creative Stills In Steady Decline) focuses on why the current paradigm does not work for solo photographers but misses the fact that growing image uses also offer opportunities. For the stock photo industry, the issue is not lack of demand but rather the lack of Google, Gillette and Apple-like innovation when it comes to developing a business model that takes advantage of the rise in image uses.
Business Planning For The Future: Creative Stills In Steady Decline
There appear to be a number of photographers who are "looking outward." For most, that means doing something else other than producing stock pictures. There are other ways photographers might use photographic skills, and it certainly looks like stock has a steadily declining value in the eyes of the buyers. If stock is all an individual has to sell, it is beginning to look like that individual should expect to see steadily declining revenue going forward.
Business Planning For The Future: Making A Profit
A previous article in this "Business Planning for the Future" series noted that future growth in demand for images is a widely debated subject among stock industry professionals. In my view, traditional customers do not seem to have any growth potential, and there are also indications that growth in demand for low-priced imagery might have reached its natural level. Industry veteran Leslie Hughes—formerly of The Image Bank and Corbis, currently the principal of has offered an alternate point of view.
Additional General Business Articles
Will Opportunities For Professional Stock Photographers Decline?
More and more young people aspire to a career in photography. They sell some of their images and believe that, if they work hard, they can be successful. Often, they hope to become full-time stock photographers, so they can shoot what they want, when they want, and eventually achieve fame and fortune. Yet the hard reality is that opportunities for professional stock photographers are in a decline, which will continue in the years ahead.
Engaging In The Business of Stock Photography
Given the rather pessimistic predictions of "Opportunities for Professional Stock Photographers," photographers and stock agents ought to consider several career decisions. This story outlines a number of issues photographers who are trying to sell their images need to consider. The thoughts are particularly important for those who hope to earn a living from selling their images.
The Future Of Stock Photography – September 2008
Photographers still ask me, "Is the Hellman & Friedman's acquisition of Getty Images good or bad (for photographers)?" As far as I can see whether or not Getty is owned by H&F doesn't make a whole lot of difference for photographers.
Where Pricing And Volumes Are Headed
In 2006 I examined many of the factors that are impacting on stock photo market and leading to price declines. There were also a number of factors leading to declining sales volumes to traditional customers. These include the general demand for printed products, the tendency to use images multiple times but only pay once, trends in book publishing, postage costs, crowdsourcing of images and various types of guerrilla advertising. Since that time the situation has become worse.
Going Out Of Business – February 2009
Recently several stock agencies have found it necessary to discontinue operations. When that happens it often seems that photographers are hurt the worse because the royalties they are owed are never paid. I was recently asked, "what do you think went wrong in the industry for these firms and their photographers?"
Defining Licensing Models
This article defines the six most common methods for licensing stock images. They are: RM, RR, MRR, RF, Subscription and Microstock.

Mayor Richard White was acquitted Wednesday of sexual battery and assault charges filed against him by an Oak Island woman.
Mayor Richard White of Boiling Spring Lakes was acquitted Wednesday of sexual battery and assault charges filed against him by an Oak Island woman.
Judge Scott Ussery declared the verdict after a day and a half of testimony in Brunswick County court.
"Thank God for the truth coming out," White said afterward. "I appreciate all the prayers and truly appreciate Bruce Mason's great defense," he said, referring to his attorney.
His accuser, Susan Prater, swore out the charges before a Brunswick County magistrate in October.
She testified for four hours Monday and then, after a one-day break in the trial, for two hours Wednesday. During her testimony, she said that on at least four occasions over a period extending from October 2011 to March 2012, White touched her inappropriately on her arms, legs and back, and also touched her buttocks.
The backdrop of the trial dates back to July 2011, when Prater initiated charges accusing a man of making harassing phone calls and assaulting her by grabbing her arm, according to court records. The charges were dismissed by the district attorney's office for lack of evidence. In turn, the man brought charges accusing Prater of making harassing phone calls and stalking him. The court issued a judgment against Prater in November 2011.
During the current trial, Prater alleged that her attorney in the prior civil case had "colluded" with the prosecutor to get the charges against the man dropped. She further alleged that the district attorney's office knew what had happened and was "using" her to get evidence against the attorney. She said she met White when he was assigned as chief investigator for the DA's office looking into the allegations.
At one point during the current trial, Prater said the the current judge, Scott Ussery, also was involved in colluding against her.
The prosecution called no other witnesses. The defense called Charlie Carroll, a commissioner in Boiling Spring Lakes, and White's son Travis. Carroll testified he was a witness to an incident that Prater cited in her charges in which she claimed White patted her buttocks while at a gun club. Carroll said he was standing only 20 feet away from White and Prater at the time, and no such contact was made.
Travis White testified that the only time he met Prater, at his father's house after his father's hand surgery in March 2012, she hugged his father and behaved "in a motherly manner" in relaying the doctor's post-operation instructions. Travis White said Prater volunteered to come back to care for his father if necessary before she left. Prater had testified that she left the house "uncomfortable and terrified" with the whole surgery experience and being alone with White.
Nitza Rothstein, an assistant in the Fayetteville District Attorney's Office, prosecuted the case because of the alleged misdeeds in the Brunswick County DA's office.
In announcing his verdict, Ussery said, "I'm not sure what conspiracy I was involved in, but I'm sure this court made sure Miss Prater was well represented (in the earlier civil case) and her rights were not violated." He also said that "despite the false allegations made about this court and numerous elected officials," he was able to focus only on the facts of the case before announcing that White was "not guilty" of all charges.
The StarNews usually does not identify alleged victims of crimes of a sexual nature, but Prater agreed to have her name published in an October story about the charges.

January 3rd, 2005
Dr Petra
Last year the amount of sex coverage in the media was considerable, even if the quality was largely questionable. It's pretty likely this trend will continue into 2005.
Our obsession with celebrity relationships isn't going to stop. The celebrity 'sexpert', and others with precious few qualifications to give sex advice will also remain – although you can expect to see research out that documents the danger of poor quality sex advice being given in the media.
Sex toys will be sold in greater numbers in high street outlets, alongside ever increasing virtual and real sex stores. The quality of training offered to staff selling sex products will be variable, although these people will in all likelihood be quoted more extensively by the media than qualified sex therapists, medics or other psychosexual specialists. Sex got more commercial than ever last year, and that's not going to change.
From the US there will be greater moves towards abstinence only sex education, which is fraught with problems and proven to be ineffective – particularly towards those from sexual and ethnic minorities, and low income communities.
The Right's war on porn is also likely to step up, making it difficult to offer sex positive information, sex education and safer sex messages to those in need. Maybe there'll be war declared on the war on porn.
Within our media, sex coverage will – unless something amazing happens – continue to be defined by the people writing it. In other words, the sex stories you'll read will be written by young, reasonably affluent, city dwellers, in monogamous relationships, educated to degree level, high in confidence, and most likely white, middle class, straight, and physically and emotionally healthy. People who assume everyone else's exactly like them. Their sex lives – the fun, frisky, and ever new – will continue to be the model for us all to aspire to.
Although they took a knock at the end of last year, Big Pharma are going to be coming back at us this year, with many companies attempting to identify and target new sex topics and trends. Products for female desire may be slightly less high profile, but that's not to say companies won't be working to get their hormone patches and gels approved.
Several movies will be out this year focusing on the sex industry, pole, and lap dancing. Let's hope this may lead to wider debates on sex work, given last year's negative coverage of lap dancing in the press.
Sexually transmitted infections are still terrifyingly high – particularly in developing countries. We've seen diseases rise, alongside press coverage that either includes scary statistics, or is highly judgemental. This year, coverage should move to provide more balanced information about preventing STIs, and help us view it as a global issue we all need to take responsibility for. That's not to say it will, though.
The government is also expected to report on their 'consultation' on prostitution. This exercise was unbelievably flawed, asking questions of people that had a research group conducted it in any other institution it wouldn't have been granted ethical approvals defined by government standards.
The consultation was set up with the objective to show prostitution as negative, and despite many reputable researchers and organisations submitting evidence, it should come as no shock to us when the government releases 'evidence' that prostitution is universally bad for sex workers, and clients are also all bad. There will be no shades of grey, although there ought to be. Clients will be blamed, but in the long term it will be sex workers who'll suffer if the consultation's 'findings' are acted on.
Certainly we can expect to see sex coverage focusing on sex as being linked to hormones, genes, and biology – overlooking social, cultural and other factors. And sex is going to get a whole lot more 'scientific'.
Several television shows are going to show us brain scans of women during the moment of orgasm, and measure blood flow to the penis or vagina. It may not be a whole lot of use, and again will place sex firmly in the realm of the body and the biological – hardly a help to those wanting to improve their sex lives, or who'd actually like to be able to talk about it.
With the release of the film about Kinsey (starring Liam Neeson) out in the Spring, magazines and papers will also focus on the life of this sex researcher (and possibly some up and coming ones too). This ought to be a rallying cry for us to demand better quality sex research finding its way into the media – let's make that one of our new year's resolutions.
Otherwise, it'll be another year, where if Kinsey were still alive and practising as a sexologist, rather than completing high quality research, he could expect to be asked to make judgemental statements about celebrities on a daily basis.
It's time for a change in sex. You can make 2005 that time.
Come back later this week and find out how we can improve the quality of our sex coverage, research, and most importantly remember that sex is supposed to be about pleasure.Tweet

There is a fire deep inside of us,
and nobody else can see when it burns out.
Nobody had seen his burn out. Nobody had noticed the sagging of his shoulders or the darkness of his once bright green eyes. Nobody had seen the way he started dragging his feet or the dark circles under his eyes which just seemed to keep growing darker and darker. Nobody noticed, and maybe that's why it went out.
There are so many things he wants to say to him. So many things that have been eating away at him since they broke up. Maybe just a simple 'I hope you're happier now' maybe 'Is he really better than me?' or even 'You still have part of my heart and I don't think I'll ever get it back.'. But he really just wants to say 'I still love you.'

by James Corbett, The International Forecaster:
The creepiness of this type of genetic testing technology is that it opens up the very fabric of our DNA to the very same interests who have been on the record hoping to sterilize or euthanize vast numbers of us for decades.
As James Evan Pilato and I reported on this week's edition of New World Next Week, American workers participating in "workplace wellness programs" may have to submit to genetic screening or face tough penalties if a new bill making its way through Congress is passed.
The bill in question, H.R. 1313, is full of that self-referential legalese gobbledygook that makes legislation incomprehensible to non-specialists:
"(A) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, workplace wellness programs and programs of health promotion or disease prevention offered by an employer in conjunction with an employer-sponsored health plan that meet the requirements set forth in subparagraph (B) shall be considered to be in compliance with[…]"
…You get the picture. Or maybe you don't. That's the point.
So, long story short, this deceptively short bill would accomplish some fairly profound things: It would allow employers to impose financial penalties on employees who don't participate in company wellness programs… It would allow those wellness programs to mandate genetic screening for participants… It would allow the results of that screening to be shared with third parties, including non-health professionals.
To accomplish this, the bill exempts these "wellness" programs from the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As the American Society of Human Genetics points out in their press release warning about the bill:
"A key component of ADA and GINA is that they prevent workers and their families from being coerced into sharing sensitive medical or genetic information with their employer. For GINA, genetic information encompasses not only employees' genetic test results but also their family medical histories. H.R.1313 would effectively repeal these protections by allowing employers to ask employees invasive questions about their and their families' health, including genetic tests they, their spouses, and their children may have undergone. GINA's requirement that employees' genetic information collected through a workplace wellness program only be shared with health care professionals would no longer apply."

You need to move the camera so that the fall in the hole in the aisles. If you ever find yourself and do not bump - lose. Walkways are generated every time a new way, because it is impossible to remember the order of movement. The more passes you pass, the more beautiful it becomes a game. On the background of playing cool music. Neon and other lighting flash to the beat of the background music.
Amazing I love this game and you don't have to get it but I did and if you want to say they need to fix it because it makes you go to the begging then stop because that's how it's made. But people who don't have it then I recommend it. You could even use it on Chrome books. It is amazing
It is fun but... It is fun but it's also kind of annoying when I die and have to start all over and I'm right to go to my new high score that's the mo but everything else is ok and I think you should really download it but it's pretty frustrating how I said the beginning music download peace
Nice This is a fun race game had an idea for your next upgrade like a tilt motion with sensitivity control that would be so awesome! Love that I can turn on pandora then play the game with any music. Please keep up the good work beautiful graphics. How does one get rid of the adds? Wish there was more than one in app song to listen to! What about a video play back feature that would be really kool!
It's a good game! I really like it, but sometimes my game would glitch and I would return to the start screen. Other than that, this game is fun and addicting to play!
TERRIBLE Very slow the entire time and very boring. Add a boosting to the game
Fun I saw some people playing this game in my technology class. Then I wondered if there was an app and here it is!
What's New
Some fixed.

The multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform
- First Online:
- Received:

- Citations
- 136 Downloads
The fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) has multiplicity, which is intrinsic in fractional operator. A new source for the multiplicity of the weight-type fractional Fourier transform (WFRFT) is proposed, which can generalize the weight coefficients of WFRFT to contain two vector parameters \( \mathfrak{M},\mathfrak{N} \in \mathbb{Z}^M \). Therefore a generalized fractional Fourier transform can be defined, which is denoted by the multiple-parameter fractional Fourier transform (MPFRFT). It enlarges the multiplicity of the FRFT, which not only includes the conventional FRFT and general multi-fractional Fourier transform as special cases, but also introduces new fractional Fourier transforms. It provides a unified framework for the FRFT, and the method is also available for fractionalizing other linear operators. In addition, numerical simulations of the MPFRFT on the Hermite-Gaussian and rectangular functions have been performed as a simple application of MPFRFT to signal processing.

more about car accident claims
The aftermath of a car accident can be an extremely traumatic time not only for the victim, but for their families as well.
It's not just the driver of a vehicle that can make a car accident claim. Injured passengers may also have a case for claiming a pay-out, whether the driver of the vehicle they were in was responsible for the accident or not.
Many victims are reluctant to take such legal action if it was a friend or family member who was driving at the time of the accident, but in car accident claims the financial award is designed to aid your recovery, not to punish your friends or relatives. It's also important to remember that, if your car accident lawyer is successful in winning a pay-out award, the money is paid by the driver's insurance company, not the driver themselves.
Many people also believe there is little point in making a claim if the other driver responsible for their injuries was uninsured, didn't stop or cannot be traced. However car accident claims can still be made through the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB), a fund set up by every motor insurer in England and Wales specifically to reward the victims of uninsured and unidentified drivers.
However you claim, getting you back on track after an accident is vital, so dealing with experienced, specialist, car accident solicitors is essential to obtain early award payments for example that can help you recover and adjust whilst your case is ongoing.

PERSONAL COMPUTERS; New Ways of Breaking the Speed Limit
By PETER H. LEWIS
Published: April 25, 1989
NEARLY a dozen computer companies were demonstrating new products based on the 33-megahertz version of the Intel Corporation's 80386 microprocessor within minutes after the chip was formally announced at the Comdex spring trade show in Chicago this month.
The speed was appropriate. The new machines are the fastest and most powerful personal computers made to date. When they start appearing in stores within weeks, they will interest the relative handful of PC users who need speed at any cost.
Such users typically need the fastest available PC's to speed up computer-aided design tasks, desktop publishing and giant spreadsheets and data bases. Some will need the added speed to enhance the operation of the OS/2 operating system. Some users will want a 33-megahertz 80386 for the ego boost of having the meanest machine in the neighborhood.
Although the market for 33-megahertz 80386 computers is expected to be relatively small, the confusion over megahertz in general is relatively large. Let's try to sort out the mega-madness.
How important is, or are, megahertz? The higher the number of megahertz, or millions of cycles per second, the faster the chip can grab handfuls of data. For example, the new Zenith Data Systems Z-386/33, which may be the first of the new 33-MHz machines displayed at Comdex to make it to the stores, is as much as 30 percent faster than similarly designed 25-Mhz systems. (At $7,999 to $13,499, it is more expensive, too.) But megahertz is just one of many yardsticks for assessing a computer's performance. One company's 20-MHz 80386 machine may be significantly faster than another's 20-MHz 80386 machine because it has a better system for getting data into and out of the chip quickly. Also, a 25-MHz 80486 chip may process data at four times the speed of a 25-MHz 80386 chip because it executes an operation in one clock tick instead of four.
Until now, the fastest 80386 chips ran at 25 megahertz. Before that, a 20-MHz chip was the standard, and before that 16. Today 80286 chips come in speeds of 20, 16, 12, 10 and 8. The original International Business Machines PC 8088 chip operated at 4.77 megahertz. In contrast to the cheetahs in today's systems, the original PC chip was a garden slug.
Some unscrupulous companies at Comdex were making a pitch that their machines operated at speeds far higher than the processor's rating. ''Look at this benchmark test,'' one huckster said as an animated speedometer appeared on the 12-MHz computer's screen. ''We're really running at 21.2 megahertz.'' Another said, ''This machine has the performance of a 20-megahertz system.'' An Intel official said he had heard yet another company pitchman saying something about ''virtual megahertz.''
The benchmark program used by these and many other computer dealers is legitimate, but the interpretation of its results is not. Instead, it indicates how fast, in megahertz, the original I.B.M. PC 8088 chip would have to operate to match the performance of the 80286 or 80386 chip being tested. The huckster quoted above would have been more honest saying, ''An I.B.M. PC would have to run at 21.2 megahertz to match the performance of our 12-megahertz 80286.''
Still other companies, as well as some power-hungry individuals, step up the performance of a processor by replacing its crystal, which regulates the chip speed just as a quartz crystal regulates the accuracy of a watch.
''Yes, the computer runs faster,'' the Intel official said of this practice, ''but in six months it will die. You know why? Stress. You can't run a Toyota at 100 miles per hour for six months and expect it to last.''
David House, Intel's vice president, said 33 megahertz was the limit for 80386 chips. If a customer wants to go faster, he said, Intel has another chip that runs rings around the 386.
The new Intel 486 microprocessor starts out at 25 megahertz, with a 33-MHz version due later this year. By next year, he said, a 40-MHz version will be available, and the year after that, who knows?
Mr. House said that if the historic trends in chip design hold true, by the year 2000 engineers will be able to put 100 million transistors on a one-inch-square slice of semiconductor. The chip will run at 250 megahertz and will be capable of executing 2 billion instructions a second, Mr. House said.
Even before the smoke cleared from the first 80386-33 product announcement, another company was quietly demonstrating a working prototype of a 486 computer. Officials of I.B.M., which rigged up a system within hours after receiving the first 486 chip from Intel, stressed that the demonstration did not constitute a product announcement.
The first 486-based systems are expected to appear at the Comdex Fall show in November.

Birds of Mountain and Moor
Hen harrier
Last Updated on Thursday, 09 June 2011 07:29 Written by Webmaster Thursday, 09 June 2011 07:27
The population of hen harrier on Arran is of international importance for the survival of the species. Around 5% of the UK breeding population is on Arran, more than the whole of England, and in order to protect the birds habitat 11,000 hectares of Arrans moors are designated as a special protection area- the highest European designation. Males are a pale grey colour with black wingtips and a white rump, females and immatures are brown with a long, barred tail and a white rump which give them the name 'ringtail'. They fly with wings held in a shallow 'V' and quarter the ground gracefully and effortlessly, gliding low over the ground before half-turning with tail fanned and then quickly stalling before dropping on their prey below.
Where they are found in many locations round the island, but the best views can be had from the Machrie Moor road
When all year.

Buzzards are very numerous on Arran and from a distance are often confused with the much larger golden eagle. They have a wingspan of about 1.2 metres and very variable plumage form pale to dark brown.
Where: they are often seen on telegraph poles and fence posts close to the roads where they take advantage of the carrion provided by road kill.
When: all year
Golden Eagle
Last Updated on Saturday, 18 June 2011 10:55 Written by Webmaster Thursday, 09 June 2011 07:14
One of Scotlands most iconic birds of prey, golden eagles with their broad wings and two metre wingspan are an impressive sight as they soar over the mountains. They get their name from the golden tinge to the feathers on their heads and are sturdy birds standing at 80cm tall. Their diet consists of rabbit, hare, feral cats and carrion from dead deer and sheep.
Where: Golden eagles are resident in the mountains in the north of the island. A walk in the mountains is likely to result in seeing one, but good views can also be had from Lochranza where they are regularly seen from the village as they soar over the surrounding hills. Golden eagles are still persecuted in Scotland today so the sites of eyries(nests) is closely guarded information- the safety of the birds is of prime importance.
When: Golden eagles can be seen all year and are most active in the breeding season through the spring until the young fledge in summer.

Creddiers, it would be advised not to comment or read this but you are welcome to. x].
Just a little Creddie Vs. Seddie Debate.
It was love at first sight right? Freddie fall in love with her when he first laid eyes on her. The thing is about Creddie is that Freddie ONLY seemed to love Carly because she was pretty, some people may disagree but when it comes to "love at first sight" you don't really love what's in the inside, but only love whats on the outside. So take it from Freddie's point of view; you see a pretty girl and you suddenly develope a massive crush on her, she's the most prettyist girl in the world and you think you're in love. It's probably happened to a lot of people out there, it's a common thing.
But anyway I think that Freddie only thought he was in love with Carly, it was more of an obsession then it was a crush.
And the iSaved Your Life aired, Freddie had own up quite a lot... he was about 15 I think. Anyway, Freddie and Carly dated AFTER Carly saved his life and she immediately fell in love with Freddie, well she thought she did anyway. So Freddie broke up with Carly because he didn't want to date her if she thought she was in love with him. Most people would say "This shows that Freddie really doesn't love Carly." When actually it shows that he really does love and care about her, not to take advantage of her like that, it shows how much Freddie has grown up over the past years. He really is a sweet gentlemen then people give him credit for. However, Carly never did ask for him back after his cast was gone which must have been sad for the Creddiers.... but then if Freddie really loved Carly, why wasn't he crushed and heart broken in the show? Why did he agree to go on that Double Date with Leslie in iWas a Pageant Girl if he was sooo in love with Carly?
Well from a Creddiers point of view could be; that Freddie was trying to hide his broken heart from the outside. Or possibly was just waiting for Carly to declare her love for him, which never happened.
But's it has been 2 years, why hasn't Carly and Freddie said something?
And then there's Sam and Freddie. Two people who had a strong disliking to each other suddenly found themselves dating? Why would two people who supposedly claimed to hate each other after about 5 years suddenly start dating? :o.
Well, I guess you could say it was like a game between them. Just a little banter between them, no harm just some fun... Honestly I think they only wanted to hate each other, because they didn't want to be more then just, well what they were. However they did, they got closer and closer and closer over the years because they both wanted Carly as their friend, In different ways of course though... They came from Enemies to Frenemies to Friends to Best Friends to Boyfriend and Girlfriend.
I don't know about you but that's a LOT of development in 5 years, and you can't really say its rushed either. It's a lot more development then Carly and Freddie....
It just shows; that maybe there is a bit more too it then two people who supposedly hate each other. I honestly believe that Sam & Freddie and Carly and Freddie's love are differenet.
So tell me your thoughts. :). I would apreciate some disagreements, or if you didn't mind adding to some points to the Creddie and Seddie debate! :).
Thanks for reading :D.

One boy, one boat, one tiger ...After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and best-loved works of fiction in recent years.
Yann Martel was born in Spain in 1963 of Canadian parents. After studying philosophy at university, he travelled and worked at odds jobs before turning to writing. In addition to Life of Pi, he is the author of the novels Self and Beatrice and Virgil, the stories The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios, and the collection of letters to the Prime Minister of Canada, What is Stephen Harper Reading? Yann Martel lives in Saskatchewan, Canada.

September 22, 2010
John B. D. Potter '11
At Hampden-Sydney, the Center for the Study of Political Economy (CSPE) educates students in the classical liberal tradition of political economy. As part of its ongoing mission, the CSPE regularly sponsors public lectures by scholars from across academic disciplines. The most recent CSPE lecture took place on Thursday, September 9th, in Crawley Forum. Timothy Ferris, a Fellow at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, gave a talk entitled "The Science of Liberty: How Science Enabled the Rise of Democracy and Helped Reduce World Poverty and Hunger."
Mr. Ferris's argued that science and liberalism (i.e. the belief in liberty and equality) are symbiotic. He supported this claim by citing the past 500 years of history. Beginning in the mind-1500s, a revolution in scientific thinking incited the Enlightenment, a movement which led to a revolution in the science of politics. One of the fundamental political values that resulted from the Enlightenment was the idea that legitimate governments are based on reason, and derive their authority from the consent of the governed. Moreover, such governments are liberal, in the sense that they base their decisions on the consequences of their actions. As Mr. Ferris put it, liberalism is scientific, because it is a rational, conditional process of discovery. In this regard, a scientific spirit precipitated the rise of liberalism and democracy.
According to Mr. Ferris, liberalism works in a similar fashion to the scientific method. Individuals in democratic governments develop a theory (i.e. something for the government to try), and test this political hypothesis through experimentation: elections, legislation, and/or legal adjudication. After analyzing the results, the political theory is either accepted--it becomes law--or rejected--it is removed from the government. Thus, the knowledge of governance advances with experimentation. Indeed, it is no coincidence that many of the Founding Fathers described America as an "experiment in democracy."
Mr. Ferris further emphasized the connection between science and liberalism. "Science and liberalism are antiauthoritarian, self-correcting," he said, "and both employ creative methods that require maximizing intellectual resources." In liberal democracies, science and its intellectual resources are utilized in ways that promote human flourishing and happiness. Indeed, Mr. Ferris observed that indicators of happiness are at their best in liberal democracies. Due in large part to the application of science, citizens of liberal democracies enjoy better health, more wealth, longer life expectancy, increased food production, elevated literacy rates, extensive education systems, and a higher per capita GDP. At the same time, there is a decrease in death, violence, and war.
Science helps unify the world, because its laws and theories are universal. Furthermore, science promotes liberty and equality through its political offspring--liberalism and democracy. Nevertheless, both face serious challenges: population growth, ecological crises, global warming, and dogma in the form of absolutism (ex. radical Islam) and cynicism (ex. postmodernism). However, Ferris has faith in the democratic virtues of science; science teaches that all human beings belong to single species, a species which is kin to all life on Earth.
As the age-old adage goes, a tree is known by its fruit. It is safe to say that the fruit of the tree of science--liberalism, democracy, knowledge, and happiness--speak for themselves.

Paris (ESA) Mar 22, 2013
ESA's XMM-Newton space telescope has helped to identify a star and a black hole that orbit each other at the dizzying rate of once every 2.4 hours, smashing the previous record by nearly an hour.
The black hole in this compact pairing, known as MAXI J1659-152, is at least three times more massive than the Sun, while its red dwarf companion star has a mass only 20% that of the Sun. The pair is separated by roughly a million kilometres.
The duo were discovered on 25 September 2010 by NASA's Swift space telescope and were initially thought to be a gamma-ray burst. Later that day, Japan's MAXI telescope on the International Space Station found a bright X-ray source at the same place.
More observations from ground and space telescopes, including XMM-Newton, revealed that the X-rays come from a black hole feeding off material ripped from a tiny companion.
Several regularly-spaced dips in the emission were seen in an uninterrupted 14.5 hour observation with XMM-Newton, caused by the uneven rim of the black hole's accretion disc briefly obscuring the X-rays as the system rotates, its disc almost edge-on along XMM-Newton's line of sight.
From these dips, an orbital period of just 2.4 hours was measured, setting a new record for black hole X-ray binary systems. The previous record-holder, Swift J1753.5-0127, has a period of 3.2 hours.
The black hole and the star orbit their common centre of mass. Because the star is the lighter object, it lies further from this point and has to travel around its larger orbit at a breakneck speed of two million kilometres per hour - it is the fastest moving star ever seen in an X-ray binary system. On the other hand, the black hole orbits at 'only' 150 000 km/h.
"The companion star revolves around the common centre of mass at a dizzying rate, almost 20 times faster than Earth orbits the Sun. You really wouldn't like to be on such a merry-go-round in this Galactic fair!" says lead author Erik Kuulkers of ESA's European Space Astronomy Centre in Spain.
His team also saw that they lie high above the Galactic plane, out of the main disc of our spiral Galaxy, an unusual characteristic shared only by two other black-hole binary systems, including Swift J1753.5-0127.
"These high galactic latitude locations and short orbital periods are signatures of a potential new class of binary system, objects that may have been kicked out of the Galactic plane during the explosive formation of the black hole itself," says Dr Kuulkers.
Returning to MAXI J1659-152, the quick response of XMM-Newton was key in being able to measure the remarkably short orbital period of the system.
"Observations started at tea-time, just five hours after we received the request to begin taking measurements, and continued until breakfast the next day. Without this rapid response it would not have been possible to discover the fastest rotation yet known for any binary system with a black hole," adds Norbert Schartel, ESA's XMM-Newton project scientist.
"MAXI J1659-152: The shortest orbital period black-hole transient in outburst," by E. Kuulkers et al. is published in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 552, A32 (2013).

Upper deck cabins
There are 2 upper deck cabins on board Virgo. Both can be arranged as either a double or twin cabin and have en suite and air con.
Virgo sleeps only 18 divers over 30m, which has made her popular with those that prefer smaller groups on board. All diving is from the support dhoni. Cruise the heavenly atolls of Male and Ari without it costing the earth on a liveaboard dedicated to your diving satisfaction.
Virgo has a total of 9 cabins on board for 18 divers - there are 5 lower deck twin cabins, 2 main deck twin/double cabins and 2 sea view upper deck cabins. All have en suite bathrooms with shampoo and shower gel. The upper deck cabins have large windows to let all that Maldivian sunshine in. The cabins have a flexible arrangement so can also be made into a double bed.
The light wood decor continues throughout the vessel. On the main deck there is a large air conditioned saloon with welcoming sofas. Meals are served buffet style and seated at a large table. This is a fun, social boat to be on! The bar on board is fully licensed so you can enjoy your favourite tipple as the sun sinks over the horizon. The upper deck is a hub for most people in between dives, with loungers to relax on and enjoy the Maldives drifting by. Wifi access can be purchased on board and is limited by signal coverage in each area. As of 1st September 2016, Virgo joined to Emperor Fleet to sail as Emperor Virgo.

We've not long been back from the Maldives on M/Y Virgo. The dive guides, Roland, Mark and Ibu (sorry if I've misspelt) were incredible and really looked after us. We had an amazing week seeing so much sea life plus turtles (a dream come true for one of our group!) & then we had whalesharks and mantas! Although the weather wasn't great (monsoon rains) we still had an amazing week away and even had all our dive gear washed by the crew and dried in the lovely weather we had on the last couple of days. Thank you scuba travel team for yet another brilliant holiday.

The Maldives is in the Indian Ocean, a 10-14hr flight from the UK, around 370 miles southwest of Sri Lanka. It is made up of 1200 islands, stretching over 500 miles from north to south. The main arrival airport for all flights to the Maldives is Male's airport island (MLE). The Maldives is famous for its great snorkelling, manta cleaning stations, whalesharks, shark dives and fast drift dives through channels. The water remains a constant 27-28 C year round.
Whilst there are 2 monsoon seasons (Nov-Apr & May-Oct), the diving remains excellent year round. Diving operators will changes their dive sites in each season to find the best hot spots for the big fish! Traditionally, our summer months tend to be windier with a higher chance of rain, whilst the winter months are flatter. However, the seasons are much less predictable in reality and its a fabulous place to dive whatever time of year!
Our holidays to the Maldives are typically quoted with Sri Lankan flights from Heathrow (via Colombo) to Male. We are however able to book most major airlines. If you would like to depart from a different UK airport (eg. Glasgow/Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham or Gatwick) or have a specific airline you prefer to fly with, simply let us know in your booking request. A supplement may apply for regional departures. Times and any applicable supplements will be confirmed by your travel consultant before you finalise your holiday. If you wish to make your own flight arrangements to Male, let us know and we can remove the cost of the international flights from your quote. We are unfortunately not able to redeem airmiles on your behalf. Please do not confirm any flight arrangements yourself before your holiday is confirmed by us.
As most flights are not direct, it is simple to add a stop over en route - simply ask your travel consultant for a quote. Sri Lanka is our most popular, up coming destination - with beautiful beaches, it's a great alternative to staying in the Maldives resorts.

The choice is yours! As we are able to book most major airlines to the Maldives, you can also add a stop to break up your flight. Popular locations include Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi.

The award-winning gwabbit for BlackBerry® makes email contact capture fast, easy, and fun! gwabbit automatically scans incoming BlackBerry emails, finds contacts, and instantly transforms them into contact records within your BlackBerry address book!
So what's the difference between Free gwabbit and Paid gwabbit? The free version of gwabbit for BlackBerry is just like the paid version with one key difference. Free gwabbit includes an alerting feature that lets your contacts know (via email) when you've added them to your address book using gwabbit. This service is invaluable particularly for sales and business development. Of course, "gwabbees" can opt-out of the gwabbit alert service at any time if they prefer not to stay current on who's added their contact info.
How does gwabbit work? The gwabbit for BlackBerry service is a combination of a client and a server. The client monitors opened emails, and if they seem to include the signature of the sender, it sends the information to the server for processing, and the server returns the results to the client. If a signature is found, the client prompts the user, and asks if the user wants to save it. It also searches the local address book to see if an address entry exists for that sender, and if so, asks the user whether he wants the information merged into the existing contact, or a new contact be created.
If the information found is the same as the existing information, no prompt will appear. This architecture takes the load of the processing off the device, and enables gwabbit to constantly improve the recognition, without frequent client upgrades. It does, however, involve a processing server, and information is submitted to that server. The user can change the settings of gwabbit so that only emails manually sent by him to gwabbit will be processed (manual mode, rather than automatic). gwabbit's privacy policy can be viewed here http://www.gwabbit.com/privacy.php.

The Original Homemade Recipe to Cream of Mushroom Soup
Homemade Recipe from Scratch
Cream of Mushroom Soup made easy
This is an easy to follow, original recipe to the best homemade cream of mushroom soup ever!
The Mushroom
The Original Recipe
Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup
The Original Recipe to Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup from Scratch
*Please Note: This original homemade recipe to cream of mushroom soup is actually a recipe to "mushroom soup made easy" from scratch.
"Never eat Cream of Mushroom Soup from a can again!"
DID YOU KNOW? There are approx. 38,000 different varieties of mushrooms in the world. 3,000 of those come from North America.
A Mushroom Biography
The Origin of the Mushroom
Actually, there is "documented proof" that edible mushrooms have been around for only about one thousand years, but it's known that mushrooms have been around for much longer. Most mushrooms are very poisonous with a mortality rate of 60%, that include symptoms of sudden cold sweats, cramps, diarrhea, confusion, convulsions, and eating toxic mushrooms may even cause severe liver damage.
Never eat a wild mushroom, UNLESS you are an expert in the field. Always purchase your mushrooms from a well known "respected" mushroom distributor.
Although mushrooms can be found all over the world, it was China that first recorded using edible mushrooms. In fact, the Shiitake mushroom is used as a cancer treatment, found mostly in East Asia.
Please, please…PLEASE, rate this recipe!
Cook Time
You may use an egg slicer to slice the mushrooms, or just do it the old fashion way – use a knife, just be careful.
Original Ingredients for Cream of Mushroom Soup
- One stick of butter, unsalted
- 1/4 cup of shallots, chopped
- 3/4 cup of yellow onions, diced
- 1 cup of half & half
- 6 cups of chicken stock
- 12 tablespoons of flour, heaping TBS
- 4 cups of button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups of baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- ground black pepper, to taste
Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup made easy from Scratch
The original recipe to the BEST Cream of Mushroom Soup is also "easy-to-follow"
Don't be discouraged when you're following this recipe, it's actually very easy to follow. Other recipes for cream of mushroom soup usually call for a specific product – you won't find that here.
I guarantee that once you follow this recipe you won't ever want to eat cream of mushroom soup from a can again.
This is the MOST basic (correct) recipe for cream of mushroom soup you will find on the Internet. Don't be fooled by other recipes from more popular websites…honest, this is it!
The Original, Homemade Recipe for Cream of Mushroom Soup
Don't use an aluminium stock pot when sauteing the mushrooms, this will cause the mushrooms to discolor and can quite possibly stain/ruin the stock pot.
Save your Vegetable Scraps for your Compost Pile
When you are cutting your vegetables, don't throw away useful and valuable nutrients – save those scraps. Save all raw vegetable scraps for your compost pile for future gardens.
Never use an aluminium stock pot to saute mushrooms.
Stock pots are very useful
