Coronavirus global event updates, find out more
Interview with Dr Hardarshan Valia by Eurocoke Summit Conference Director, Patrick Britton
In preparation for the 12th annual Eurocoke Summit, conference director, Patrick Britton, sat down with Dr Hardarshan Valia, a long-time expert to discuss the main challenges and opportunities facing the coal and steel industries at the moment.
What are the biggest headline issues you see facing the steel and coke industries for 2016 and beyond?
We are in a crisis situation! And before getting into all the specifics of prices, supplies and demand, we need to address the elephant(s) in the room. The challenges facing the met coke and coal industries, and these are opportunities too, relate to: first the Paris Climate Conference and second sustainability and recycling.
Could you elaborate?
How will this affect the industry? We all care about the environment! For us and for the future generations – but it also impacts business. There are immediate costs and long-term costs. I think it is important we begin to address these issues - especially, we want to highlight new technologies and research to address topics such as CO2 sequestration. As for recycling and sustainability, it is very important at this juncture to view sustainability as key to our survival. We have to focus on things like feedstocks, recycling, taking the byproducts from steelmaking and re-using them. Society is looking at us to make a difference in what we do – and here is our great opportunity.
So beyond the climate issues and the recycling, what other themes are important?
I did not get to talk about carbon sequestration! This is the great opportunity. The research is showing it as a value – but we have to find someone to talk about it. We have to get the industry to address carbon capture, utilization and storage. If they do not, the road could get increasingly bumpy. Best to find someone who can speak to the industry without being antagonistic.
And back on the recycling – what I like about that focus is to talk about something we don't address often… with feedstock recycling, you cover ironmaking, waste from coke making, environmental benefits, carbon emissions, and so much more.
I know you have many more thoughts on what to include…
China. India. Other innovative viewpoints. Markets. There are so many great topics. But you're getting them.

Pakistan is bracing itself for more flooding described as "imminent" and "extreme" in the south of the country.
More than half a million people in Sind province have been moved to safer areas.
Torrents of water have already swept down from the northwest and through the central farmlands of Punjab. Emergency authorities say at least 1600 have been killed and 12 million people affected.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Yusaf Raza Gilani went on TV for the first time since the disaster struck:
"At this time of crisis I would like to appeal to the international community to support Pakistan to help alleviate the suffering of the flood affected people."
The US has pledged more than 25 million euros in aid. The UN's special envoy for the floods has warned of the risk of epidemics due to a lack of drinking water.
Hundreds of thousands of homes have been damaged. Whole families have been forced to fend for themselves, often seeking shelter in rudimentary camps.
The floods have also taken their toll in Indian-controlled Kashmir. Around Leh, 113 people are reported to have been killed and hundreds injured after heavy rain.
It is a mountainous area which attracts many foreign tourists, particularly hikers. India says more than a hundred, mostly Europeans, were rescued from one village – while many more have been affected.

Find out how you can be FoodWISE at The Open Market
Thursday 13th August 2015
The Open Market
We're proud to announce we've been asked to provide recycling services to The Open Market, including food waste recycling. On Thursday 20th August, we're holding a launch day to educate stall holders about how they can get involved with recycling. If you're interested in finding out more about food waste and other recycling schemes, come along and say hello. The event is open to all, there will be competitions and prize drawers as well as other things to get your teeth into.
In addition to speaking to stall holders, we'll also be letting people know about the FoodWISE scheme. At Brighton Paper Round we specialise in helping you to move your waste up the waste hierarchy, and (believe it or not!) where it's possible to do so, away from recycling. At the top of the waste hierarchy is prevention. This is where the FoodWISE scheme comes in.
FoodWISE is a business growth programme run by the European Regional Development Fund. The programme offers free account management support for small and medium sized businesses and focuses on:
- Improving green credentials
- Diverting food waste from the waste stream
Currently, Brighton Paper Round are working with FoodWISE to provide free consultation, a range of service options and a combination of audit and best practice initiatives.
The benefits of the scheme are potentially huge and can be used to promote your business as an environmental champion.

Designated as a national park in 1983, the mountain is 78.45 km wide, has 6 districts and extends out into Gyeonggi-do Province. The name Bukhansan means "big mountain" in the north, and it is also called Mt. Samgaksan. Mt. Bukhansan has such smooth curves that the large granite rocks sometimes look as if they would slide down the mountain, and the sharp peaks provide contrast to the dozens of valleys and rivers flowing below. The mountain's main peak is
Baekunbong, and it has many different kinds of peaks. The granite peaks blend in well with trees, and there are about 1,300 kinds of animal and plant life living on the mountain. Among the granite peaks, the best one is Insubong Peak. The world famous granite rock peak Insubong is over 200m above sea level, and there are about 100 mountain paths leading to the rock.

Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) operate in a changing and challenging environment. The upcoming implementation by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) of a Patient Driven Payment Model will shift the reimbursement paradigm for SNFs from a focus on the volume of services provided to a focus on specific, clinically-relevant patient characteristics. Combining this significant change in reimbursement criteria with the challenges of low to non-existent profit margins, high employee churn, federal and state regulatory scrutiny and an active plaintiffs' class action bar, means that in order to survive in today's marketplace, SNFs must evolve their practices to maximize their operational efficiency and improve their bottom line.
Post-acute care providers are seeking ways to simplify infection surveillance, control, and reporting along with related antibiotic stewardship methods to gain access to meaningful decision data that drives timely improvement.
New tools helped nursing staff in Ohio improve Emergency Department admission times and facilitate communication between staff and patients. Within one year of implementation, the hospital saw a reduction in average length of stays, as well as overall costs. These improvements led to higher patient satisfaction scores.
At OPS, we've been developing cloud-based performance support systems for years. A question we're often asked is, "What are the core elements of an effective project management system?" We recognize that many organizations spend millions of employee hours and millions of dollars on project management training. We also know that many organizations are substituting project management processes with chat-based platforms that provide little in the way of structure. So, they are sometimes disappointed, and mostly relieved, when our answer is (a) short and (b) reaffirms a comfortably structured approach.
New tools helped nursing staff in Ohio improve Emergency Department admission times and facilitate communication between staff and patients. Within one year of implementation, the hospital saw a reduction in average length of stays, as well as overall costs. These improvements led to higher patient satisfaction scores.
To help organizations get closer to their value objectives, a number of approaches and fields of practice have been developed. Two fields common in today's business environment are human performance technology (HPT) and quality. The recent publication of the Global State of Quality Research: Discoveries 2013 by the American Society for Quality provides customer- and practitioner-related data and offers an opportunity to link the purposes, philosophies, research, and practices of quality and HPT.
Excerpt: In this, our first Column of the New Year, we share one of our favorite web sites, www.proofpoint.net, the cyber-home of Proofpoint Systems, Inc. This software company has built an impressive suite of diagnostic tools to help organizations do their best work, and has established itself as a reliable resource and partner for its clients. Even better, Proofpoint provides a number of valuable aids that are free to enterprising individuals.
This book provides a framework for building commitment and improving performance across organizations. Most employees want more control over their daily work and most managers want to give it. Yet, the distribution of decision making power often happens by chance rather than by design. This book is a "quick start" guide for leaders and team members who want to give—and receive—power.
To improve organizational performance, influence change, and accelerate transformation, executives and their teams need timely, accurate, and unbiased information. Good information, delivered at incredible speed, provides the ability to make better and faster decisions relative to the competition. Continuous performance improvement, powered by cloud technologies, helps organizations move from static lists to informed decision making and accelerated results. Cloud computing is based on the processing and storage of data and information external to the organization.
DOTMLPF is an acronym and mnemonic that is pronounced: "dot-mil-p-f." Once you say it aloud, it is easier to read and remember. The DOD looks at performance in terms of capabilities. Their gap analysis process is part of the Joint Capabilities Integration Development System (JCIDS). They use DOTMLPF at the front end to assist planners consider a range of solutions when addressing performance improvement issues.

In recent years, it might have seemed that nationalism and ethnic conflict is a phenomena of the 1990s. The headlines of the 2000s have been dominated by terrorism and other themes. It is of course no secret that nationalism remains a potent force and that ethnic and national identity continue to shape politics in many, if not most, countries around the world.
The relevance of discussing and understanding nationalism can be understood when looking at three separate events around the world:
Since last week, violence between Uzbeks and Kyrgyz has escalated in the southern region of Kyrgysztan of Osh. Linked to the overthrow of the increasingly authoritarian President Bakiyev in April, the violence has regional implications, involving three Central Asian countries.
Move to Belgium, here on Sunday the New Flemish Alliance won most seats in parliament on a secessionist platform. Thus, Belgium's survival remains increasingly in doubt.
Finally, in Slovakia election a day early did not reward the nationalist and populist parties which had sought to exploit recent changes to the Hungarian citizenship law that would open access to citizenship to Hugarians living in Slovakia (and elsewhere).
Understanding these events is crucial not just for scholars of particular countries, but also for understanding broader trends and regional dynamics. This blog seeks to provide timely commentary and analysis on events like these. Scholars and analysts associated with the Association for the Study of Nationalities will contribute their postings and we encourage a debate on the topics and postings on the topic of nationalism and ethnic conflict. For more more in depth analysis, see the journals of the ASN, Nationalities Papers and Ethnopolitics.

I was next to our fence a couple weeks ago, trying to re-connect a fence top to the post. There was a vine climbing up the post, most of the leaves were gone, I was cautious, but still found out too late, it was poison ivy.
I came inside immediately and washed my arms with cold water, soap and such. I can only imagine that it would be a lot worse if I hadn't. Compared to my first bout with it, I think my rash is very minor. Why? I know what to do now. I don't let it fester. I use rubbing alcohol and chlorinated water to help dry out the rash, I don't scratch it, and it makes the difference.
It's the same way with difficulties and even sin in my life. Once I recognize a pattern of problems and the paths that lead to sin, I can stop myself from falling into the pit of troubles before it becomes hard to get out of it.
I am redeemed from the pit of sin and failure (Psalm 103:1-4) and with His help, I no longer have to stumble along with the blind in the darkness of a life without God.
If I am wandering too close to the danger I once embraced, I can recognize the signs and turn another way (Jeremiah 31:21). Just like with the poison ivy, I now have pictures on my phone to identify suspicious plants.
Scripture is the same way, verses, stories, even passages put to song, can help me to keep from harm.
How do you help keep your feet on the right path, O Best Beloved?
(See Psalm 119:105 for more encouragement.)

Keynote at the IB Global Conference in Abu Dhabi
For this year's IB Global Conference, Rosan Bosch is keynote speaker and will share the studio's approach to creating motivating learning environments that enable working with 21st-century education.
Based on the Theory of Knowledge, a key component of the IB curriculum, we have developed a strategy with ten differentiated spaces designed for working with the program's Ways of Knowing and understanding the world. The method takes into account the students' age groups, supporting their progressive development and their approach to the various Areas of Knowledge.
The IB Global Conference is a well-attended yearly event – with 2000 participants at the 2018 Global Conference in Vienna – that draws together the ideas of educators and thought leaders from a diverse range of countries and cultures.
The conference is arranged by the organization for the International Baccalaureate (IB) programs that offer a continuum of international education. The study courses set high standards with unique academic rigor and emphasis on students' personal development.
At Rosan Bosch Studio, we are currently working with several IB schools to develop their physical learning spaces, among these the Bilingual European School in Italy, the Western Academy of Beijing in China and St. Andrew's Scots School in Argentina.
Keep up-to-date with the IB Global Conference using #IBAD2019.

How to setup a Integrated Development Environment for OpenTURNS
In this page, we describe how to install and configure a development environment for OpenTURNS. More precisely, we present a method to install an configure the Spyder interactive development environment for the Python language on Windows and on Linux.

- Troubleshooting

- Acknowledgments
Installing OT+Spyder on Windows
The Python environment we suggest to use is Python XY, which comes with Spyder IDE.
On Windows, for OpenTURNS >= 1.1, the steps are:
- install PythonXY 2.7,
- install OpenTURNS 1.1,
- check the installation.
This process is simple, because OpenTURNS now comes as a Python module, directly installed into the Python environment. This way, the user has nothing to do to let OpenTURNS Spyder.
However, OpenTURNS v<=1.0 comes with an independent Python environment. Hence, we have to let Spyder know where OpenTURNS is installed. In other words, on Windows, for OpenTURNS <= 1.0, the steps are:
- install PythonXY 2.6,
- install OpenTURNS 1.0,
- setup the PYTHONPATH and PATH environment variables,
- check the installation.
Install Pythonxy for Windows
PythonXY installers are available at:
It should be noticed that the installed version of Pythonxy must be consistent with the Python interpreter used by OpenTURNS.
For example, for OpenTURNS 1.1, this is Python 2.7. Therefore, we can install the binary "Python(x,y)-220.127.116.11.exe" from :
By default, this executable installs the binaries into the
Install the Windows version of OpenTURNS
The files are available at :
More precisely, we can install:
- openturns-1.1-py27.exe
- openturns-developer-1.1.exe
By default, the OpenTURNS files are then installed into the directory:
This is the default directory for Python packages, so that the OT module is automatically known by the Python environment, including Spyder.
Check the installation for OT v>=1.1
Now that Spyder is launched, we can just import the openturns module, as shown in the following figure.
Notice that no message is printed in the console, as for other regular Python modules.
That's it ! No other manual tuning is necessary for OpenTURNS v1.1.
If, on the other hand, we use OpenTURNS v1.0 (or older), then the next steps might be required.
Run Spyder from a script for OpenTURNS v<=1.0
We now make the assumption that OpenTURNS was installed in the
Perhaps the simplest method is to run Spyder from the following script:
This script defines the environment variables that Spyder needs to know where OpenTURNS is installed. To use this script, we simply click on it: this launches Spyder with a pre-configured OpenTURNS-aware environment.
Check the installation for OT v<=1.0
The following graphics shows how OpenTURNS 1.0 is imported within Python 2.6:
Manage the environment "by hand" for OT v<=1.0
It is also possible to manage the environment by defining the appropriate environment variables.
Let Spyder know OpenTURNS
To do this, we just have to define the PYTHONPATH environment variable, so that it contains the directory where OpenTURNS is installed.
This can be done by different ways:
- defining the variable from the Windows configuration dialog,
- by using the Spyder PYTHONPATH dialog box.
Since the Spyder PYTHONPATH dialog box is simpler, we present this method.
In Spyder, go to the "Tools > Management of PYTHONPATH" dialog box.
Then push the "+ Add a directory" button and add the directory:
as in the following figure.
Update the PATH environment variable
This makes so that the dll from OpenTURNS can be known.
This can be done by two different ways:
- update the PATH environment variable in the Environment Variables Windows dialog box,
- update the PATH environment variable from a .bat script and run Spyder from there.
Let us present how to update the environment variable from the Environment Variables Windows dialog box.
- Right-click on "My Computer", select Properties, then Advanced (or open the Configuration Panel, open System and security > System). This may require the admin privileges.
- Click on the "Environment variables..." button on the bottom right.
This button in the red circle in the following figure.
- This opens a dialog box, where the top part present the user variables, and the bottom part present the system variables.
- In the "System variables" pane, find the "PATH" variable and click on the "Edit..." button.
- Add the following directory at the begining of the PATH:
C:\OpenTURNS\bin;C:\OpenTURNS\lib\bin;C:\OpenTURNS\opt\R-2.12.0\bin;[other directories...]
Installing OT+Spyder on Linux
On Linux, the simplest way to install OpenTURNS within Spyder is to use the packaging system of the associated distribution.
Install OpenTurns
This can be done by three ways.
- From the sources, which can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/openturns/files/openturns.
- From the binaries provided in Debian.
- From the binaries provided on openturns.org.
For example, on a Ubuntu distribution, we may use the following commands:
sudo apt-get install python-openturns sudo apt-get install openturns-examples sudo apt-get install openturns-validation sudo apt-get install openturns-wrapper
More details are available at:
Install Spyder
To install Spyder on Linux, we may use the binaries packaged in the Linux distribution.
For example, on a Ubuntu distribution, we may use the following command:
sudo apt-get install spyder
More details are provided at:
In this section, we report common errors when we try to use OpenTURNS from Spyder.
Error: ImportError: No module named openturns
On Windows, we try to import the openturns module in the IPython console of Spyder.
In [1]: from openturns import * ------------------------------------------------------------ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<ipython console>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named openturns
The solution is to update the PYTHONPATH variable in order to add the directory where the Python package of OpenTURNS can be found. From the PYTHONPATH dialog box of Spyder, we can add the directory "C:\OpenTURNS\lib\python26\site-packages". See the previous "Let Spyder know OpenTURNS" section above.
Error: ImportError: DLL load failed
On Windows, when we import openturns from Spyder, we get an "ImportError: DLL load failed" error.
In [1]: from openturns import * ------------------------------------------------------------ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<ipython console>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\OpenTURNS\lib\python26\site-packages\openturns\__init__.py", line 89, in <module> from common import * File "C:\OpenTURNS\lib\python26\site-packages\openturns\common.py", line 29, in <module> _common = swig_import_helper() File "C:\OpenTURNS\lib\python26\site-packages\openturns\common.py", line 25, in swig_import_helper _mod = imp.load_module('_common', fp, pathname, description) ImportError: DLL load failed: Le module spécifié est introuvable.
The solution is to update the PATH environment variable in order to add the directories where the OpenTURNS DLLs can be found. See the previous "Update the PATH environment variable" section above.
Another solution is to open a DOS console, and type:
SET PATH=C:\OpenTURNS\bin;C:\OpenTURNS\lib\bin;%PATH% start C:\Python26\pythonw.exe "C:\Python26\Scripts\spyder"
Error : Unknown R.exe
On Windows, when we try to produce a graphics, OpenTURNS fails with the message:
In [22]: myGraph.draw("MyGraphics") ViewImage(myGraph.getBitmap()) 'R.exe' n'est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne ou externe, un programme ex'cutable ou un fichier de commandes. ------------------------------------------------------------ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<ipython console>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\OpenTURNS\lib\python26\site-packages\openturns\graph.py", line 1471, in draw return _graph.Graph_draw(self, *args) RuntimeError: InternalException : GraphImplementation: error trying to execute R command=R.exe --no-save --silent < "C:\\Users\\Myname\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\tmp65D.tmp" > NUL
The solution is to update the PATH environment variable and add the path to the directory where R is installed. This is the "C:\OpenTURNS\opt\R-2.12.0\bin" directory. See the previous "Update the PATH environment variable" section above.

Tum medicinali tantum florebat in arte, posset ut hic nullus languor hobere locum
Les sanglots longs Des violons De l'automne Blessent mon c½ur D'une langueur Monotone. Slow sobs Of the violins Of autumn Wound my heart With a monotonous Languor.Paul Verlaine
There is no remedy for time misspent; No healing for the waste of idleness, Whose very Languor is a punishment Heavier than active souls can feel or guess.
Perhaps yours is a very remorseful past a foolish, frivolous, disgraceful, frittered past. Well, Christ says, " My servant, be sad," but no Languor; there is work to be done forme yet rise up, be going! Oh, my brethren, Christ takes your wretched remnants of life the feeble pulses of a heart which has spent its best hours not for Him, but for self and for enjoyment, and in His strange love He condescends to accept them.
Aëre non certo corpora Languor habet.
After the fever of life after wearinesses, sicknesses, fightings and despondings, Languor and fretfulness, struggling and failing, struggling and succeeding after all the changes and chances of this troubled and unhealthy state, at length comes death at length the white throne of God at length the beatific vision.

The skin around the eyes is very soft and delicate and hence requires extra care. Under eye dark circles are one of the major causes that tarnish the flawless beauty of a face.

So if you are using our concrete floor paint at your factory or warehouse, you can rest assured that it will keep up appearances quite well and save you from constant repainting. For home owners with concrete floors, this will apply even more so, since you have a lot less wear on your domestic floors. So everybody wins!

You will have a lovely range of colours with a beautiful gloss finish, so you can make sure you get the best look for your home or industrial space.

There are many ways to answer the question "What is a doctoral degree?" Ask someone who holds a PhD and you might get one of two answers. The first would be that a PhD is a reward for years of dedicated research which culminated in the production of an original piece of work on a fascinating topic and paved the way for a satisfying career in academia in which one pushes back the boundaries of knowledge and imparts wisdom to a host of students eager to learn. The second answer would be that a PhD is compensation for years of dedicated research which culminated in the production of an original piece of work on a no-longer-fascinating topic (not to mention a few more gray hairs and an ulcer) and possibly paved the way for a career in academia in which one continues to explore the same less-fascinating-by-the-day topic in between trying to teach students who'd rather be out drinking.
Of course, these are the two extremes and don't really help us understand what the doctoral degree is. PhD stands for Doctor of Philosophy and it's an advanced, or higher, degree awarded which allows the holder to refer to themselves as "Doctor" and then spend much of the rest of their civilian (i.e. non-academic) life being mistaken for someone with medical knowledge.
The requirements for a PhD vary from country to country. In the UK, it's not necessary to complete a Master's Degree before embarking on the doctorate though in many institutions the first year of doctoral studies now take the form of a Master's Degree in Research. This has the advantage of allowing the student to develop their research skills before they begin their doctoral research, but of course it also adds one year to the time it will take to finish your thesis. Once this is over, the real work begins. PhD candidates will be guided by a team of two or three senior academics called supervisors in the UK (advisers in the US) who have specialist knowledge in the field. It's important to stress that they offer guidance but the development of a research proposal, the design of the fieldwork, the analysis of results and the writing-up of findings are the responsibility of the student alone. Being awarded a PhD means you have demonstrated that you are an independent thinker, capable of conducting a program of research and producing an original contribution to knowledge in your chosen field.
If you are undertaking your PhD in a UK university, it's generally agreed that this should take three years (not including your Masters year). However, this has been generally agreed by assorted university committees and budget-makers and not by doctoral students. It is, of course, entirely possible to complete your research within three years and this will be made easier if you have no life. If, however, you have loved ones you want to spend time with now and again (family, friends, pets, favorite bar…..) then three years might not be quite enough. Even if you don't have loved ones, you will probably undertake some teaching in your department which will let you earn some extra money and gain valuable experience that will improve your job prospects. It will also leave you with less time for your research. But the upside of taking a little extra time (an extra year is fine; an extra five years is probably not) is that a) the teaching income will have prevented you from starving and b) at least you might still have some loved ones left to dedicate your thesis too.
Ah yes, the thesis. This is the written body of work which will show off your research findings and your analytical genius. The length of this work will vary from around 40,000 words in a science discipline to 100,000 words in arts and humanities. The production of the thesis does not mean you will be awarded your doctorate – you must now be examined in a process known as the "viva voce" (from the Latin "by live voice"). In much of Europe, this takes place in public but is largely ceremonial, as a candidate would not go forward if the work was unacceptable. In the UK, the examination takes place in private, since there is still a very real possibility of failure.
The doctoral candidate must identify experts in their field who can act as examiners – in the UK, there will usually only be two or three examiners. It's best to avoid choosing an examiner whose work you've criticized in your thesis – not everyone welcomes constructive criticism and you don't want to annoy them before you've even met. The oral defense of the thesis will usually take place after the examiners have had a few weeks to read your thesis and figure out what you've done wrong. During the "viva voce" they will grill you on your methods, your findings, your analytical skills and the conclusions you've drawn. At the end of this, you are sent away while they decide what to do with you. Happily, in most cases this just means deciding what corrections/alterations need to be made to the thesis. It is fairly unusual for a thesis to pass without correction, just as it is fairly unusual to fail outright. Sometimes a candidate will require another oral defense when major corrections are needed.
Once your corrections are done, it's time to submit the thesis. At this stage, proofreading is very important, because once your life's work has been bound and is sitting on a library shelf, there's nothing you can do about that missing apostrophe or the fact you've misspelled your own name. Just when you think your years of hard work and poverty are over, you will have the herculean task of carrying several copies of the thesis to a bookbinder and handing over a pile of money so that your magnum opus can have a nice hardback cover. The ever-benevolent university will require you to pay for a copy to put in their library, even though no one will ever take it out and read it. But hey, you don't care anymore- you're a Doctor now and you can now spend a few days having your name changed on all your credit cards and utility bills and generally basking in your new title. Now all that remains is to land yourself an academic job where you can spend the next 30-odd years rehashing the results of your PhD whilst being paid. Enjoy!

After a winter where Ana has had a never ending list of commitments with the media, the last two months have served for the Murcian rider to concentrate on training for many hours; physical, off-road and the last few weeks testing the new Kawasaki Ninja 400 prepared by the technicians of Provec Racing.
Ana Carrasco will be the only member of this team so that Provec can concentrate on her performance. 2018 has passed and although Ana will carry the number one on the Kawasaki fairing, she sets off with 0 points, knowing that the expectation and the pressure will be very high.
The first race of the WorldSPP300 World Championship takes place on April 7th at Motorland Aragón.
Ana Carrasco (Rider): It has been one of the busiest winters of my life, we have made many changes at the sports level as well as at a personal level and I'm very eager to start the season to see the results of all this. Although I've had to do a lot of media work these months, I've also been able to work a lot on the motorcycle and I think that I'm ready for the first race. I'm very happy with all my team, with the work we've carried out during the pre-season tests and I'm very excited and keen to have a good season and will be able to return all the effort over these months to the team via good results and to give my best this year.
Steve Guttridge (Kawasaki Europe Racing Planner): "After such an amazing 2018 season with Ana and her World title achievements on our Ninja 400, we cant wait to see the 2019 season unfold! It's not going to be easy by any means but with the Kawasaki Provec WorldSSP team structure in place and Ana's desire to retain her title, we are set for some fantastic battles this year and for sure Ana and the team can rely on Kawasaki's support all the way!"

- Make a payment
- Student Fees
- Student Funding
- Student Finance Regulations
Fees for students from countries seeking membership of the European Union
Students from countries outside the European Union (EU), and who wish to undertake full-time study at the University of Exeter, are normally required to pay the "international" fee for their programme.
If a student has been assessed as having to pay international fees, and his/her country then subsequently joins the EU, then the date at which he/she can first be considered for eligibility for paying "Home/EU" fees will depend on the date of EU accession and the date(s) at which he/she elected to pay the tuition fees due. (Refer Schedule 1 paragraph 10 of the UK's Education (Fees and Awards) Regulations 2007).
In the event that a student pays the full international fee at the beginning of an academic year, and their country becomes part of the EU during that academic year, no refund will be available. Students likely to be in this position are recommended accordingly to pay their tuition fees on a termly basis, in order that they may be considered for the "Home/EU" rate of tuition fee in the term(s) following their country's accession as appropriate.
Students will only be considered for a reduction in fees to the "Home/EU" rate of tuition fee during an academic year if all amounts due in that academic year has been paid within the payment deadlines and in accordance with the Student Finance Regulations. In addition, the student must meet personal eligibility criteria.
If accession occurs after the first day of the Summer Term then "International" fee levels remain applicable for the remainder of that year.

Harvey Leach Custom Inlays and Guitars
The Dogs are made from various types of wood as well as Corian and recon stone. I like using wood because it has a lot of the textures of hair plus it comes in a huge variety of colors and tones.
In 2015 we did the first of the series, the Year of the Monkey.
For this theme we decided to go with what I'm best known for, a more realistic rendition of a monkey climbing a tree to get to the guitar in the upper branches. The entire inlay was done with different woods. The guitar in the tree is a small inlay of an actual Farida dreadnought! The guitar was first offered for sale at the Shanghai Music Fair in 2015, it sold the morning of the first day!
For the 2017 fair the theme was The Year of the Dog. I will also be attempting to do some YouTube videos which is also something new for me. I tend to get locked in when I work so we will see just how successful I am and stopping to record something!
Progress so far!
Here is the inlay in progress. Lots of malachite and jade recon stone as well as Corian. Brick are made from Padouk and white veneer. The guitar back is Malaysian Blackwood.
A couple of years ago while cruising the halls at NAMM drumming up new inlay customers I happened to cross paths with Frank Tsai and his merry band of world travelers from Grand Reward and Entertainment. Grand Reward is the premier builders of musical instruments in China. I had gotten to know them because of their work with the travel guitar that I invented, Voyage Air. After exchanging the usual pleasantries, Frank asked what I was up to and I told him I was mostly doing inlay work for other companies and, half jokingly, I told him I could do inlays for their house brand Farida Guitars. We of course had a good laugh about the unlikely chance a company in China would be importing inlay work from the USA. I did tell them that the only thing really in the way was that they would need to raise their prices and that since we already know the quality is there and that a guitar built in their factory was well received in the US market at nearly $2000.00 (the Voyage Air VAOM-2C) that they should be able to be the first real high-end Chinese guitar company. Fast forward about 2 months and I get an email from Frank asking if I would be willing to work with them on a limited edition guitar that would have the theme based on the up coming symbol of the Chinese zodiac. I thought that was a great idea!
Farida Guitars
For the 2016 show last October the theme was The Year of the Rooster. Once again the choice was made to go with a realistic looking inlay design. This time wood as well as reconstituted stone was used. I believe this one sold before the show! My kind of response time!
Farida also asked if I would be willing to come to Shanghai to represent the guitar as well as talk to their dealers and to do demonstrations at the booth. I of course more than happy to go. I do have to say that I never thought I'd be on a stage in the middle of China cutting out inlays and having them broadcast onto a giant video monitor! It was a great experience and I was amazed at how welcoming the Chinese people are.
On a slightly separate note... While I was there last year we discussed doing something a little more elaborate to show the Chinese market just where inlay can go when a crazy American is pushing the limits. We decided to do a scene on the back of a guitar, similar to the Edo guitar. I did some searching and came up with what I think will be perfect... The Great Wall! I may have bit off more than I can chew in less than a year (WAY less now!) But I love a challenge...
Here is a quick rendering of what I have in mind for the Great Wall. I expect I will be tired of cutting out bricks when I'm done...
Here is a Photoshop rendering of the headstock and pickguard inlays along with the finished results.

It's gonna be a hard one, coz the two are from totally different genres...A rocker and another ballad singer...So, who will win? Keep the final say till we see how the two performed on that very history-making night!No doubt recording deals are just at the doorsteps for both of them now no matter who wins...

Working On It!!!
Gee...how long has it been taking me to complete this song?
When comes to penning lyrics, it's giving me a hard time too...Just cant get the flow sometimes...Always stuck halfway or sometimes when it's completed but when i sing it out a few times, i'd go "er, it doesnt sound nice afterall, sux" and i cancel everything and get back to the start and rethink all over again...or maybe i set myself to high?or lack of inspirations/confidence?But thanks to you-know-who-you-guys-are who bought me a book for my birthday!!It's>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
First of all, i have this problem that my song compositions always tend to sound like chinese pop. I just dont know why. Remember the very first song i composed was when i were er...13years old? I played it on the piano to my teacher & she was a little shocked, sorta, because i admit i wasnt good in piano that time as in exams (borderline marks), giving me compliments and all while she did try to put some touch here & there to make it sounds better...Oooh, it was encouraging, especially when you know you always scored not so good marks in exams and somebody liked your compositions and giving compliments and stuffs like that.& there i start to go kick some asses...
Since then i've been jotting down the notes and melody lines whenever a tune starts playing in my head.If there's no papers or pen i'd quickly get to my piano and keep playing it till it stuck to my head or i'd keep humming the tune till i get to jot them down. Sometimes i'd use a recorder or with my mobile phone to record my pieces.But now realising that all of my pieces actually sounded a lil like chinese pop songs is giving me a question mark. Is it a good thing considering i dont know chinese. I mean of course a song has to come with lyrics right? So who will pen those chinese lyrics down? Or pen it in english or malay?with the song sounded like chinese?Hmmm...ya...can also la...Ok settled.
Yet to really go through it though...but hope it helps. Anyway, im now currently working on a song that i think it suits better with a guitar. That's why im picking up a guitar on my own now (since january)...
Till then, tomorrow it's gonna be a quite important day for me...an interesting one.
Hopefully it'll turn out well. Gonna tell you what it is soon... XD

Idol Fever
Okay..see that?im sure whoever has a tv at home would have known this show pretty well...some might go "ah...boring..sick with it, (concerning the show has been running for 7th season now!)" or some couldnt be bothered or some might just stick their a**, er no need to be decent la okay, stick their ass tight on their seat and start reading this. Oh man, im gonna tell you, im a HUGE HUGE fan of this show ever since its 3rd season being shown in malaysia & i've never missed a single episode!!! Well, i did catch up with the 1st two season though on the internet. Before anything yet, gotta tell ya, im an Idol addict/freak that somebody would call me, there's no way to shut my attention off when there's any topic of idol going on.Sometimes i'd bugged my friends and talked about it till the whole season ends and this keeps repeating season after season..haha. Sorry buddies...
So, this season of 7th has gone down to 3 contestants. From 5 of my early top favourite ones have now gone to 2 that made up the current Top3...Take a look.....
(the axed ones are no longer in the competition)
Sadly Carly and Brooke got the boot earlier than they should. Darn!! It's said there's a group of people call Vote For The Worst who has nothing better in their life that they pick the worst ones and trying to get them to the top or possibly to be crowned with the title...gosh!!Get a life!!! They are killing people's dreams!!
At least there was a sign of relief that Jason Castro got voted off last week,finally.
Liked him when he belted out the song "hallelujah" but later on he didnt seem good enough at all.Not even deserved to be in the Top4 spot...He was sorta annoying & got me into nerves when the time you could see him laughing, smiling and smirking like nobody's business behind once was Carly and another was Brooke while they were belting out their farewell performances. C'mon, how could he do that?! where the rest of the remaining contestants were not to be seen smiling or smirking like a jerk, at least act it out, keep the joy to yourself...
Seeing last week's show and a few before, Syesha Mecardo
actually seemed deserving the title, if given her in any of the past seasons, she could potentially be the winner, but too bad as she has to face the Davids in this season; David Cook, the one that i think the most talented & boldest of all of the others in the Idol history for he altered & modified any songs that make into his own! Namely Hello by Lionel Richie, Billie Jeans by Chris Cornell, Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey. It takes a lot of guts to do so...& of course talent...whereas David Archuleta seemed to have captured a lot of hearts ever since his early sparkle during the workshop when he sang Imagine that touched hearts (my cousin was almost in tears & i was so into the depth of the song while he belted it out). Frankly, this year's bunch of talents are actually a lot better off than the previous ones i guess (except for 1 or 2), something special in every each of them.well, i think Jason's not bad though but not to the extent of reaching top4 spot..cant wait for this week's...

We were thrilled to see that Welsh is now "cool" (G2, 13 June). After 40 years of going to the Brecon Beacons national park every holiday and any spare time we have, we decided it was time to learn the language. We started in January (the oldest people in the class by far), and are finding it extremely difficult, but are determined to keep going – whether cool or not. Dyn ni'n siarad Cymraeg, afall!

• Cricket diplomacy – what a good idea (Rain fails to stop play as new friends turn out for old rivalry, 17 June). With a great former cricketer as prime minister of Pakistan, this surely should be pursued. It was a tragedy when Nehru and Jinnah, who had led the campaign for independence together with Gandhi, forced partition, with the loss of a million lives at the time and continuing conflict, actual or potential, ever since. How about a Test match between a joint India/Pakistan team and the Rest of the World?

• I'm a fan of bluegrass music (Plucked from obscurity, Review, June 15), which is often played by virtuosos, but the assertion that it is "as improvisatory as jazz" is a preposterous suggestion, as untrue as it is unnecessary.

• Considerable anger has been expressed at the withdrawal of free TV licences for the over-75s (Report, 11 June). Could Sky show the way by offering its services free for this age group?

• Doreen Weppler-Grogan (Letters, 17 June) refers to the island of Cuba as "tiny", but Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean, half as big as the UK and almost as large as England.

Breathe Easier & Protect Your Family by Conquering Pesky Mold Problems by Harry Cannon, with Laura Bush Jenkins
As I've met with parents, city council members, residents, and attorneys throughout the state, most are concerned about the health risks of mold and understand the need to take control and address it.
Popular opinion might tell you to get rid of your affected property, pack up and leave town, or panic unnecessarily. But the good news is leveraging common sense chemistry and 21st century remediation methods can restore a building to normal use and acceptable air quality while avoiding high costs.
It may surprise you how bleach is not effective in eliminating mold like you might think. According to the EPA, it masks and may even invigorate growth.
Instead of relying on out-dated approaches, Dwelling Management Solutions uses EPA-registered treatments and understands their proper application in your home or business. These chemicals do not typically require constant monthly spraying. Instead, checks can be done every year or twice yearly. This means better breathing and peace of mind for you.
We are conducting a regional survey to understand citizens' concerns about mold and ways they can effectively advocate for their health and safety. Helping you make informed decisions with the proper resources is what we do best.
To give your survey feedback, text or email "Survey" to 252 339 2489, or info@
