So it's my birthday soon and Jacek is "whisking" me away somewhere tonight. I don't often get "whisked" because I am a control freak. This trip is a surprise. All I know is that I'm supposed to meet him at the airport. Since I'm a dick who can always find something to complain about, even though this is very exciting, this presents a packing dilemma. I have decided to not pack much at all. Hopefully where I'm going is ideal for acquisitions.

The Buena Regional High School girls track and field team beat visiting Middle Township 126-13 to clinch its fifth straight Cape-Atlantic League National Conference championship Saturday.
Helena Leyrer swept the hurdles for Buena while teammate Andrea Olsen won the sprints, and Casey Sturts took the high jump and pole vault.
Buena's four seniors - Leyrer, Cara Cone, Brenae Johnson and Chyna Saunders - completed four years of being undefeated in dual meets. Johnson won the shot put and Saunders captured the discus.
"I talked to the seniors about how proud I am of them that they took me on this ride for the last few years," said Stephanie Winkler, Buena's seventh-year coach. "They worked hard, and (the conference title) is a tribute to them."
Sturts, a junior, tied her school record of 10 feet in the pole vault, which she set in a 91-59 win over Pleasantville on May 7. For Middle, Yvonne Wolef won the long jump and the triple jump.

Hi guys.
as some of you guys might have seen from another topic I started (http://forums.hybrid...ep-off-the-gas/), I've been giving some thoughts to the air intake temperature.
Afer poking around the engine while it was still warm, I realized that all the metal air pipes (duh, yeah i know, but it's important for heat conduction) were exposed to the warm engine bay air, and to the engine's radiating heat, and that the radiator's fan blew hot air pretty much directly on them. Touching all these nice pipes, I realized that the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler pretty much too hot to touch (duh again, I'd read about the heat coming from compressing the air but you don't realize how hot till you experience it).
I also realized that the pipe from the intercooler to the throttle body started off cool and ended up very warm (can touch for a few seconds) close to the TB. The transition was quite sharp where I've placed a heat shield (sheet metal cut to fit around the pipes to try to limit the filter breathing in air from the engine bay - it didn't make much of a difference for the air temp there). I don't know if the heat shield is helping or it's just because the hot air blown by the fan hits the pipe from there on...
I started looking around on the net, and some people had also thought of insulating this particular pipe. There is some debate as to the usefulness of doing this, and none of the sites were particularly methodical with the data taking, so i figured I'd try it, and gather before and after data too.
Here is a series of pictures as to what I did to insulate the pipe (after gathering data; more on this later)
1- intake piping original.jpg 231.17KB 4 downloads
this is the piping system, as I got the car (plus the heat shield I made)
2- insulating foam tube cut.jpg 511.04KB 2 downloads
This is the insulation I've used. It's a foam tube to insulate house piping bought at a hardware store for 5$ for 6 feet, 2inch diameter. as you can see, I cut triangles out so I'd be able to bend it to follow the pipe. I eyeballed the cuts, and had to make the triangles wider only once to be able to follow the curve of the pipe
3- insulating foam tube cut 2.jpg 513.08KB 1 downloads
this is the other side, since the pipe is s-shaped.
4- insulation half on.jpg 486.3KB 1 downloads
with the foam almost all on the pipe to illustrate the use of the cuts
5- insulation all on.jpg 415.84KB 1 downloads
With it all in place.
6- insulation tie wrapped.jpg 444.19KB 0 downloads
tie wrapped on, ghetto style with ugly, white, break-if-you-look-at-them-too-long tie-wraps I had around
7- insulated and shielded.jpg 475.88KB 3 downloads
The final product, with the heat shield seen from a different angle. I know there are gaps in the insulation, but i figure this can be a prototype and i can make it better if it turns out to be useful....
I'll try to post tomorrow on the data I've gathered about the intake temperature before the insulation mod; the file is on my work computer. I've gathered a bunch of info on how fast the temperature goes up once I'm parked iddling after the drive to work. I've got graphs and all, easy to read. post insulation data will be another week or so, I'm guessing, since I don't drive it to work every day (t-tops were leaky, and I've recently cut out part of the floor to fix rust, so no driving when it's wet)
I'm also planning on changing the air filter location and making a cold air scoop under the radiator mount, so that and other data will be useful on that too. Stay tuned for other topics I'll start when I gather the supplies I need, the main supply I lack being time)...
Comments and suggestions welcomed, follow this post if you're curious to see how it turned out.

As a musician myself, I play four instruments. The drums, guitar, bass and I'm a singer. I believe to really a good sound engineer and producer you must be a musician yourself, to be able to mix a song musically rather than scientifically.
Over the years, apart from doing live sound, I've recorded and mixed many songs for many different artis
I've always grown up playing musical instruments and naturally I was always intrigued by different instruments, the different sounds and instrumental capabilities. During my late teens, I set up my own home studio and did my own research and study to learn and teach myself more on music production and recording techniques. This is when I really became interested in everything that had to do with sound engineering and music technology.
I then decided to go to uni to study Sound Engineering and Production at Birmingham City University. This opened my eyes on the way we hear sound and the importance of how we hear sound to create a desired tone. Over the years I learned a lot, from recording, to mixing & mastering, to signal processing, to digital audio effects.

My current focus is oil landscape with a New England theme that includes the coast and mountains in New Hampshire. After working on a series for a while on site and in my studio, the artistic focus often shifts to my imagination and internal vision rather than from references. One painting evolves from an earlier piece in a process that is experimental and emergent in vision and in execution.

Classroom Update
Readers's Workshop is going well. We are learning strategies to solve unknown words. This chart shows some of the skills we have been working on.
Another component of Reader's Workshop is partner reading. Partner reading happens at the end of the workshop, it is a time to share and discuss what was read.
In Social Studies we have started to learn about the continents. We will focus on the continent of North America first, with the focus country being the United States of America. We used atlases to find information to share with the class.
On Friday we went to the Creation Station and used Google Earth. We went on a virtual field trip to some of our National Parks. One of the goals was to see how diverse the biomes of our country are. At the end of the time in the lab, the students selected one of their favorite photos and left it on their screen. We then took a walk around to see the various photos.
In math we are finishing up with unit one, which involves some review from grade 1, skip counting, coin combinations and comparing numbers using greater than and less than. We will begin unit two, math fact strategies later in the week.
In Writer's Workshop we have been using mentor texts to help add more detail to our writing. We have also used mentor texts to help with crafting leads and endings .

1. What's it like to be Mike Dawes, and what would you really like people to know about you?
It's physically quite relaxed for the most part, but there's always things going on in the brain. Right now I'm stretched out on my sofa but I have 5 tabs open on my computer and my phone keeps making noises. Anyway, I'm Mike and I play guitar. I love talking to people and having adventures. I'll try everything once, at least! When I'm not stretched out doing emails, I'm on the road constantly. I took about 70 flights over the past year taking my solo show to almost every continent. The wonderful Mr Hayward invited me out to the States and here we are :)
2. Who influenced you?
Many guitar players, musicians and life experiences. Michael Hedges was very important in my musical development. I still listen to his music when I travel. It inspires me to play.
3. What advice would you give to other aspiring guitarists out there?
Be real, don't try and lie to yourself. If you want to be silly for a while, do it. Honesty is invaluable and makes it so much easier to connect with an audience.
4. What type guitar you like to play with, what kind of wood do you prefer to make your sound resonate better.
I use Nick Benjamin guitars. Nick builds 12 guitars a year by hand in his workshop in Lewes, UK. The one I travel with is Sitka Spruce and Mahogany. I like the simplicity of this combination. My other guitar is Alpine Spruce/Cocobolo. Much deeper and darker in tone.
5. What's your message when you are deep in a hammer on and playing harmonics, what are you trying to say to listener.
'This is the sound or emotion I'm trying to convey at that time'. I'm very obsessive about the pitch or note I want, so a lot of the time, harmonics are ways of getting to these sounds.
6. If asked, would you do another tour with Justin (or appear as a guest on a Moody Blues Cruise)?
Of course :) It's a great family to have been welcomed into.
7. Who are some of your favorite musicians and songwriters, and why? And what is your favorite song?
I mentioned Hedges, I have a strong love for people like Erik Mongrain and Petteri Sariola who find their own unique sound on a single instrument. I'm also listening to Dirty Loops right now, they're awesome. As far as songs go, some are just perfect. Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah is perfect, as is Johnny Cash's version of 'Hurt'.
8. Interviews can tend to become boring if you have to keep answering the same questions all the time. What do you wish people would ask you about in interviews?
I don't mind, I'm just happy that people listen to my music.
9. Justin frequently talks about his approach to songwriting as going into his studio on a regular schedule, knowing he'll come up with something by the end of the day. Can you tell us about your approach to songwriting?
I wish I could be that disciplined. I get writers block easily, and anything I do compose comes from an emotional experience. I think that's why I like to travel, I'm trying to gather experiences to draw from.
10. Please tell us about your musical evolution and how you developed your unique style.
I suppose it's the sum of a lot of influences gained over the years, from rock to solo guitar music. It's all pop music at the end of the day, all the parts are there, it's just being produced in a slightly unusual way.
11. You have a lot of things going on at once when you play acoustic guitar – rhythm, melody, percussion. How do you feel about rhythm vs. melody in your own music, and can you compare what it's like to play your own songs vs. playing Justin's music.
With my solos, I have to play everything, as you mentioned. It's very challenging music to play. It's sometimes harder to focus on the music when you're breaking into a mental sweat. With Justin's songs, I have a lot of fun listening to the other musicians and soaking up the atmosphere. The bigger challenge is to fit in and serve the song well.
12. Did you know that Moody Blues audiences have been traditionally "tough" on opening acts? We haven't seen such a positive reception from fans and critics since The Moody Blues toured with Stevie Ray Vaughan. What have you been experiencing on the tour, and do you have any funny or noteworthy stories to share?
Wow, I did not, and that's a huge compliment. Thank you. I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity, and the love I've received stateside. I have plenty of stories, but they are for me and my songs to know :)
13. Forgive us for asking the most basic question, but how did you originally meet Justin and become part of his tour?
He emailed me and asked me to jam. We did, I believe we played through Western Sky and In Your Blue Eyes together. He offered me the gig later that day. it was all a bit of a blur!
14. You have a variety of different musical interests and directions (including teaching). Do you have a definite plan for your future, or are you taking things as they come? If you could make a wish for your musical career, where would you like to be doing in 10 years?
If I can carry on paying the bills playing music then that's my dream achieved. When you guys buy my CD's and things, that helps me to directly achieve that. Anything else is a bonus. I am very ambitious, deep down, but it doesn't take a lot to make me happy. Having a positive attitude in life is important.
15. If someone threw a false leg onstage while you were performing, what would you do about it (hint: you can ask Justin about this if you don't already know the story!)
I'd probably say something stupid. 'That was a Leg-end-ary part of the concert', or words to that effect.
16. If your music was like ice cream, what flavor would it be?
Neapolitan? with sprinkles?
17. You have several admirers in your style of playing, but what was the best praise and the worst criticism you have received? And how has that affected your approach to music?
The highest praise has come from people who have told me stories of overcoming suicidal thoughts or PTS from the wars in the middle east through listening to my music. That is beyond touching. I've been fortunate enough to avoid criticism for the most part, at least that I'm aware of! Mostly, criticism comes from a political angle than a musical one.
18. How do you rate Justin as a guitarist and songwriter?
Question. That says all that needs to be said!
19. What CD is playing in your car right now and why?
Loopified by Dirty Loops, or maybe Perfect Darkness by Fink. Both awesome records in totally different ways! Check them out :)

Some paying special attention tips to silver screen writing well are.. How to dash off a dramatic composition requires restraint and self respect. Then it requires painstakingness to give an account your tale your way. Here are a few tips:
Tips on blind writing: The Script is the substructure of the full moving-picture show production system. There are workshops to revise how to scribble. Certain marks software package out location be real to that aid you to author. It helps get you to get your characters read and recognized by a show company is to have it in "correct" information.
Usually in a more than original outlook. The subject matter procession has iii base parts: Intro, Build-up/Conflict, Resolution. The imaginary creature does not get want they want in a picture show they get what they condition. Kinda similar go sometimes. So let you fictional character be introduced. Show who they are and where they are from by their arrangements and dialog. Introduce separate characters. Then transport you persona into a position of good and assemble it up (It does not have to be virtue a short time ago an just what the doctor ordered position (To the verbalizer) ). Let this fictional character slump. Then have them same imitate or doesn't matter what the imaginary creature does to overwhelmed this and consequently transcend it. Most both show out here is supported on this.Post ads:

More tips on projection screen writing: There are highly particularised guidelines to have a playscript recognised by the moving picture commercial enterprise. These guidelines can or cannot be easily intellectual. That is why workshops are a good enough thought (they initiate several tips on projection screen authorship) or or even a narrative. These can all assistance you on the correct add up to of inscription a lettering.
Adaptation the motion picture is a extreme sprain in storytelling and scriptwriting. I'd say That movie make and showed what amazing storytelling is talented of. Adaptation in scrutiny to Garden State (Which was cursive not on this underside method of scriptwriting: beginning,middle,end) Are really various. I my persuasion I recognize Adaptation took punctilious achievement and activity where Garden State created a l table lamp hearted and free consciousness to it. Garden State did tug it off so it can be through in a non-traditionalists way.

I have been a member of MAPS for a year now and have been following their work. I am very impressed by this organization, and particularly Dr. Doblin. I feel they have contributed much to our understanding of psychedelics, and helped to open doors which had been shut for many years due mainly to fear and ignorance. I very highly recommend this organization and will continue to put my full support behind their mission.
Review from Guidestar
MAPS has been an invaluable organization for me and for the world wide community who feel that psychedelic substances must be researched in a medical/meaningful way rather than simply shunned out of existence. MAPS has also helped me to distribute my film, "LSD: Problem Child and Wonder Drug," providing a way in which people like Dr. Albert Hofmann (discoverer of LSD and highly respected medical/pharmaceutical researcher) might influence the public debate on psychedelics in a way which makes us all realize how important such medical research is. As a media presence as well as a fund raising engine for medical research, MAPS has played a unique and important role in the world.

Free parking and great shopping
I always thought Alexandra Retail Centre (ARC) was just an ulu place with the drive thru Mcdonalds. But I recently stepped into the mall, and it seems pretty decent despite its boring exterior. Alexandra Retail Centre looks new and modern on the inside, with many retail shops and eateries.
There is a Soup Spoon outlet in ARC which is really quiet and the service is excellent. The staff are really friendly and there is a very relaxed atmosphere. The mall in general is rarely crowded and hence, it is a great place to chill and hang out with friends. There is also an NTUC, GONG CHA, Ichiban sushi and so many other restaurants.
Do drop by Alexandra Retail Centre if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed by the variety of shops. There is also free parking on Weekends and Public Holidays from 8am to 12mn with no minimum spending required, making ARC an even more attractive place to stop by.

ARC is quite near my house, so it's convenient for me to go there. I usually go there on weekends to have a meal there, and I am always pleasantly surprised by the fact that it is quiet and not crowded in the least bit. This is probably because ARC is near office buildings and not residential areas, so it caters more towards the weekday office people rather than anyone else. The price to pay for having no crowd is that there are not many shops. ARC is definitely none of the usual hustle and bustle that we like to associate with shopping centres. Rather, it is more of wide open spaces that are interspersed with a few shops but still good enough for me.
ARC has Eu Yan Sang, GongCha, Barcook Bakery and Starbucks to boast about. In short, they may not have the quantity of shops but they sure do have the quality. Try finding a Gongcha or Starbucks that doesn't have a crowd on weekends! Definitely a place that I will keep returning to, but since I can only access it by car, it also poses a certain level of inconvenience and difficulty. However, I see from earlier reviews that parking charges are free, so that's a good thing!

I drove past this place a few times when it was still under construction. I thought, finally, we were going to get a decent shopping mall around Alexandra area.
Imagine my disappointment when the shopping mall was finally completed. It only had two levels of retail shops and the third level being enrichment centres. The layout of the mall was also a bit weird with most the shops surrounding a big open space.
The NTUC there was also so small that I was not always able to find all the items I needed. My children were having their Chinese enrichment and music enrichment there every Sunday. I would drive them there, dropped them at the class and then drive back home. There was really nothing to shop there so even waiting for the one hour or ninety minutes there could get boring.
Good thing is now the weekend parking is free so you can go in and out of the parking as many times as you want without incurring parking charges.

Eat and shop in tranquility
This is one shopping mall where you get more people during the weekdays than during the weekends. This is because it is located nearby to many work offices. During lunch time, you will see people in office wear hanging out in restaurants and cafes.
My favorite place there has got to be the MacDonalds. It is usually not as crowded as other outlets (except during weekday lunch hours) and you can really eat in peace and enjoy your cup of tea/coffee during the weekends. If you are shopping for groceries, there is also a small NTUC Fairprice outlet after your MacDonalds' big breakfast. There is also an inexpensive and good lunch place at level one - BBQ chicken which you can get a decent western lunch set at affordable prices.

Quiet shopping centre
I went there on a Sunday, which one would expect to see lots of people, however it was quite empty. This is probably because quite a few shops are still not open yet. It is good to visit now though as many of the eateries are having promotions to attract customers. The main bulk of the shopping centre is mostly eateries – Vietnamese, Western and Asian food. There are no clothes shops for adults so if you're looking for that, don't bother going to this mall. There is however, a Fairprice supermarket which is convenient for those living around that area.
It is convenient to get there by public transport as the Circle Line and busstop is near. The parking is affordable and you can redeem it if you spend above a certain amount in ARC.

Project Safe Neighborhoods
Under Project Safe Neighborhoods, U.S. prosecutors bring cases involving illegal gun possession to federal court. This means if someone is caught with an gun when they cannot legally posses it, they probably won't be entitled to bail, instead, they will go directly to jail. If that's not bad enough, if they are convicted in federal court, they can spend up to 10 years in jail. There are no second chances under this program.
This may sound harsh. It helps protect law abiding gun owners by removing the unlawful from our midst. That is a good thing. I think............

Gabrielle Gifford
June 12, 2011 by USA Post
Gabrielle Gifford, The first pictures of U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords since he was assassinated in January have been released. The new photographs, first published in her Facebook page, were taken on 17 May, the day after the launch of shuttle Endeavour, which was commanded by her husband Mark Kelly.
The photos show Giffords TIRR Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, where she has been treated for injuries he received.
In one picture she is smiling at the camera, hair cut short with the skin on the side of her head a bit faded, but no sign that any scars. In the other, is sitting with a woman.
Giffords was shot in the head in a mass shooting in Tucson. 22 years old, Jared Loughna is accused of killing six people and wounding 13, including Giffords.
In an interview with The Arizona Republic, the Chief of Staff Ms. Gifford Pia Carusone said he still had limited ability to speak. But Ms. Carusone told the Associated Press news agency that she could be released from rehab in the coming weeks.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Zordon, May 9, 2014.
Okay, when you put it that way, I'll play you but I may have to go unlike a couple of your posts.
Actually, I expect him to play really well this year, and then for him to decline fairly steadily. And, the wheels were coming off a really, really good player. He had a lot of room to fall. I'm only talking relative to his huge salary here, too. He looked like a very good bet at the time of his extension. But once you get the neck and shoulder problems...those don't go away, and they really do interfere with your ability to play.
When you're selling your car you can spout the KBB values all day long, but in the end it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. Everything has context.
I'm convinced it's because everybody got their day two snacks all set for a few hours and then Boom! Done for the day lol
no, it's tunnel vision when you chase for NEED!!
Yeah, that's pretty much it. He and the other two charts there other than the Jimmy chart (including the Harvard chart), all came up with their own way of evaluating what you could expect from each draft position, based on historical data, figuring things like number of starts per career, number of quality starts, pro bowls, all pro selections, length of career, etc. Then they figured how much above a replacement player each draft pick was worth, in their estimation.
It is pretty cool, although like you say it probably is an approach that has its own pitfalls. All three of the newer charts came up with curves that led them to believe that the old chart - and old NFL thinking in general - overvalued high picks, and way undervalued lower round picks.
I started a thread a couple of days ago with some data by two economists that made the same argument, from another point of view, that more picks is almost always more valuable, due to risk diversification. So they and the new charters all argue that what the Cowboys did last year was smart management of resources - more players protects you from the pain of busts and the lower round players are undervalued anyway by most GM's. And they argue against what the Cowboys did today.
So anyway, just another way of looking at how you approach draft picks. I lean towards agreeing with them. That's why I didn't like the trade, even though I like Lawrence. But hey, I'm an emotional fan, so if he's a beast, I'll deny all this.
Moving up in the draft and focusing risk in fewer opportunities hurts us. That is what the Harvard analysis was talking about. All of our eggs are in one proverbial basket and we are doing a poor job mitigating risk.
I know. But we move up and down, depending on the circumstances. I'm not defending moving up as a philosophy. But it's not the reason why we lack depth, either. We've lacked depth due to injuries and a tight salary cap.
Through silver and blue homer glasses.
Inner-division premium. I'm happy with Martin/Lawrence
And unfortunately poor drafting from 2006 until 2009.
Sure there are other factors but one less top 100 player on the roster this year hurts qualitydepth just like it did in the Claiborne trade. It is horrendous risk management.
I love analogies, .. well done.
Yeah. But it helped with Frederick/Williams last year. Trading up is bad math. I'm not disputing it. Only the contention that it's the reason why we lack depth.
Did they?
Weren't we supposedly wanting to trade down this year? Or trade up at a better value?
Personally I would have traded down the pick.
This is part of the win now mentality. We have to get an edge rusher this year. Can't wait for next year's draft.
There's defending the player and then you have defending the trade.
I don't like the trade. But I like the player. And no doubt the player would not have been there at #47.
The value on the draft value chart is relevant, but can't be viewed in a vacuum. If we traded up for the next "ware" then it was a very good trade. If we traded up for Shante Carver or Kavika Pittman, or Ebeneezer Ekuban then we got fleeced. Time will tell.
Isn't there an actor named Martin Lawrence? I wonder if he approves of our picks.
Nice pun.

Ancient Mew (The Power of One promo)
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Revision as of 19:33, 18 May 2011 by TheTheDragon14 (talk | contribs)
Ancient Mew (Japanese: ミュウ Mew) is a Psychic-type Basic Pokémon card. It was released as a promotional card. This card's text is depicted in medieval Futhark Runic and Gothenburg Runic writing; this page uses their English equivalents.
Card text
Release information
- This card was released as a promotional card. It was released during the theatrical run of The Power of One in both Japan and the United States.
- Due to this card's text being in Runic, this card is one of only two cards to have ever been banned from the Unlimited format in addition to the Modified format. It shares this distinction with ___'s Pikachu.
- The card's illustrator is also unknown due to the Runic text.
- This card was depicted in The Power of One as the object that started Lawrence III's collection. The card was the only object from his collection still in his possession at the end of the movie.
- Early Japanese prints of the card misspelled "Nintendo" in the understandable text.
- People who attended a WotC event were given a sheet to read the runes. Based on this cheat sheet, the runes in the middle translate as Little God or Evil? while the ones on the bottom translate as Birth, Enthronement, Right of Succession and Death.
Psychic is a move in the Pokémon games that Mew can learn.

In 2007 Prospect magazine surveyed a range of writers and thinkers and asked what would be next if left and right defined the 20th century.Travel writer Pico Iyer responded and said that he believes that the new divide will be time. Societies, he argues, are either traditional ones who value their past or those who look to the future.

The 1960s are widely believed to have been a period of great excitement, colour, movement and change. However for many the decade was quite unremarkable.
Were the seventies really just a decade covered with brown? According to author David Frum, it was far more influential than the sixties, with many of the big changes in modern life having their genesis in that period.
Are we really getting fatter? According to a recent book, Diet Nation, the extra kilos we've put on are not enough to make it an obesity epidemic. Author Patrick Basham also says that the obsession with weight loss in western society is misplaced, as the success rate for those on diets is very small.
How authentic was disco, punk or even the Monkees? Music writer Hugh Barker looks at popular music from the sixties and charts the rise, importance and relevance of the notion that if it's good - it must be real.
Virginia Woolf in her fiction and diaries thought and fumed about her difficulties with servants. She couldn't live with them and she couldn't do her work without them. Alison Light, who has written on the subject, believes without the domestic care there would have been no Bloomsbury.

Three distinguished journalists from the Canberra press gallery discuss and recognise the achievements and contributions made by various members of parliament.
Sixty years ago a builder named William Levitt opened a housing estate on Long Island near New York that became emblematic of the democratisation of post-war prosperity. It came to be called Levittown and represents one of the great changes to ordinary life after World War Two. This was the creation of stand-alone housing cheap enough for the working class to afford. This transformed the existence of millions of people and helped create the modern suburb; however it also attracted some formidable criticism from intellectuals.
Three score and ten years was once considered the limit for the average human life. However, with the necessary scientific and medical advances relating to fixing parts of the body that break down, Aubrey de Grey believes human beings could live for hundred of years. While this notion has been criticised by many scientists, others believe that de Grey's quest to extend human life is worth pursuing.
James Delingpole writes for The Spectator magazine in the UK and is the author of the book How To Be Right. However in a recent issue of the magazine he wrote that he thought he 'might be turning into a Marxist'! What is it that Tories find they have in common with those who come from a Marxist background?
Henry Lawson's stories are widely considered the most distinctively Australian of this country's literary works, with their celebrations of mateship. But Patrick Morgan believes that at their best they're really a searing portrayal of the emotional impoverishment of life in the bush.
Was TS Eliot a major poet? Australian poet Stephen McInerney claims that Eliot has been greatly overrated.
Is American popular culture a virus that's taking over the world? Or is the US simply a slow moving target blamed for everything that goes wrong in modern life? Cheryl Hudson dissects the phenomenon of anti-Americanism.
What were the achievements of John Howard's term in office? What difference could or should the eleven years of the Coalition government have made to the lives of most Australians?

What is the best way to reduce the world's carbon emissions and how does a carbon tax compare with an emissions trading system?

One of its contributors, Robert Shapiro, believes a carbon tax is the preferred option.
David Poole is an Australian academic who's just come back from six weeks teaching management theory in a provincial Chinese city. He shares his experiences on China, growth and the apparent move towards liberalisation.
Should Australia lift the bans now in place on growing genetically modified canola? In 2003 Australia's national office of the Gene Technology Regulator approved the general release of two types of genetically modified canola. Most Australian states, with the support of environmental groups, promptly banned use of the products. In some cases those bans, generally described as moratoria, are due to expire early next year and there are reviews under way.
Why do they hate us? According to Frank Furedi, after 9/11 many writers interpreted this query far too narrowly, to mean, 'Why is there such a powerful mood of anti-Americanism throughout the world?'
What is driving the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation ? And who are they?
Professor Mark Wooden examines the changes to Australian Workplace Agreements since 1996 and suggests that the differences between the current Coalition and Labor IR policies are surprisingly slight.
It's one of those subjects no politician will talk about in the current election campaign, because it offers them nothing but pain. The subject is the need to reform Medicare -- because it will soon become unsustainable with an ageing population requiring increasingly expensive treatments. That, at least, is the claim made by Jeremy Sammut in a paper just published by the Centre for Independent Studies.
In recent decades most of the world's poor have started to close the economic gap between themselves and the people living in the first world. But the people right at the bottom -- and there's about a billion of them -- have been left behind. What's trapping them, and what if anything can be done about their plight? Paul Collier discusses his latest book, The Bottom Billion.
Where threatened species are concerned, environmentalists and conservationists have a dilemma. Ideally they would like to save everything, but with limited resources, choices have to be made. Hugh Possingham suggests that we should be spending our limited resources on species not quite so close to extinction, where there's a better chance of success.
First published in 1776, The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith marks one of the earliest investigations into the development of industry and commerce in Europe.

Reliance Nippon Life AMC is expected to come out with a follow on public offer (FPO) of its CPSE ETF this month.
The CPSE ETF launched in March 2014 had collected Rs. 3,000 crore and this time the government has reportedly set a higher target of Rs. 4,000 - 6,000 crore for the FPO.
To attract retail investors, the government had offered loyalty units in the ratio of 1:15. The fund house is hoping that the government will extend the loyalty units offer to retails investors in this FPO too.
Reliance CPSE ETF tracks the Nifty CPSE index which comprises 10 central public sector enterprises - ONGC, Coal India, Indian Oil, GAIL (India), Oil India, Power Finance Corporation (PFC), Bharat Electronics, Rural Electrification Corporation (REC), Engineers India and Container Corporation of India.
How has the CPSE ETF performed? According to a ICRA note, the ETF has given annualised returns of 15.15% (non-retail category) as compared with 12.09% generated by Nifty 50 total return index (TRI) since inception. In the same time period, the retail investors received 17.96% CAGR after adjusting for loyalty units.
While the returns look attractive will the ETF be able to live up to its expectations going ahead? The note says that the stocks in CPSE ETF have lower P/E ratio and high dividend yields and are available at attractive valuations. "The performance of the ETF should get some benefit from the stable government at the centre. The government of India through its different ministries is continuously monitoring the performance of key PSU stocks and there is visible effort to achieve production and revenue targets. India is slowly and steadily coming out of the subsidy regime. Once it's fully done the real value of these stocks will be unlocked," says ICRA.
Given the past performance, distributors are enthused to recommend this FPO to their clients, says Himanshu Vyapak, Deputy CEO, Reliance Nippon Life AMC. "Brokers are excited because the performance of the previous issue has been good. The fund has outperformed Nifty in the last two years. The basket of this ETF which comprises energy, infrastructure, oil and finance sectors are government's priority. Besides, the valuations of Nifty CPSE index looks attractive at this juncture," says Vyapak.
Besides, since the ETF is RGESS compliant, Vyapak says that this is an added advantage for investors.
However, being a thematic ETF it comes with its own set of risks. For instance, investors have to bear the concentration risk as the ETF comprises only 10 stocks. Out of these 10 stocks, ONGC has the maximum weightage (24.5%) in the NIFTY CPSE Index, followed by Coal India (20.63%) which is another energy company. "Around 70% of the index comprises of energy companies, which make the index a risky bet for retail customers," cautions ICRA.
Manoj Nagpal of Outlook Asia Capital is of the view that investors should first decide whether they wish to invest in the ETF based on their risk profile. According to him, investors who are willing to take risk can allocate 5% of their investments towards this fund. However, he cautions that government policies will drive the performance of this ETF. Further, he says that the ETF can witness higher bouts of volatility due to the thematic nature of the index. "It can be a cherry on the cake but can't be the core part of the portfolio. The index will move in cycles. For instance, the CPSE ETF didn't deliver for one year after listing when the market was going up. So investors need to look at the funds they are holding currently and decide whether an allocation is required," says Nagpal.
