So, the good news is that Marquette won the draw control on the opening face off, ran straight down the field, and Hayley Baas found the back of the net just 48 seconds into the game.
The bad news is that Notre Dame won the next draw control and did the exact same thing with the first of Betsy Mastropieri's four goals on the day. The really bad news is that the Irish won the next draw control and did the exact same thing again, this time with the first of two straight goals from Caitlin Gargin. 111 seconds elapsed, three goals scored. Quite the game, but definitely not the kind of game that would end up favoring Marquette.
Things slowed down from there, but the stream of goals from Notre Dame didn't stop. The Irish would end up rattling off six straight tallies before Baas scored again to break their run. 6-2 with 3:48 seems like a pretty good way to spend a half of lacrosse against #10 in the country, but ND added two more, including one as time expired from Mastropieri to finish off her hat trick, and the halftime margin was 8-2.
Three more Irish goals to open the second half put any thoughts of a crazy comeback and upset out of Marquette's mind. The Golden Eagles would get three more goals in the second half, one more from Baas for her fourth hat trick of the season and two in a row from Kenzie Brown.
Marquette would end up with more draw controls than the Irish, but turnovers and ground balls doomed the Golden Eagles. ND had 17 more ground balls than Marquette and 14 fewer turnovers.
Up Next: An offseason filled with questions. Not so much with where this team is going, as they only lose three seniors and start mostly freshmen anyway, but instead regarding the membership of their conference for next season. Marquette was an independent this season and will be joining the Big East next season. But as of right now, we can only be sure that Big East women's lacrosse will have Marquette, Georgetown, and Villanova as members next year. We'll be back later this week to highlight the brand new program records that have been set by this team.

Several members of the Steering Committee of NYC HOLD met with Chair Evan Rudall of the Children First Numeracy Working Group on December 11, 2002, in the Department of Education's new Tweed building. The meeting was arranged by Evan Rudall and Elizabeth Carson as a follow-up to written presentations that some of us had made in response to working group questionnaire on mathematics instruction. In addition to Evan Rudall and Elizabeth Carson, the meeting was attended by Bas Braams, Sylvain Cappell, Bob Feinerman, Fred Greenleaf, Chuck Newman, Stanley Ocken, and Alan Siegel.
In preparation for the discussion our group had prepared some talking points. They follow here.
Curriculum Standards and Frameworks. New mathematics standards need to be adopted for New York City, based closely on the California and Massachusetts standards. We provide detailed critical comments on the NYC Scope and Sequence document.
Assessments. The current City and State assessments for grades 3-8 are at considerably too low a level, and public transparency is lacking.
Curricula. The present list of California approved curricula and the associated adoption reports should serve as the basis for approving curricula for use in the coming school year. Some curricula, including TERC, CMP, IMP and ARISE must be unequivocally banned.
Process. Curriculum approval should follow the model of the California textbook adoption procedures, which relies on evaluation by a panel of content experts -- i.e., mathematicians and scientists. More generally, the decision making body for NYC mathematics education should include expert mathematicians in addition to people whose expertise is mainly educational.
We appreciate the opportunity to advise members of the working group on issues of K-12 mathematics education in New York City. We understand that the role of the numeracy working group, within the Children First initiative, is to offer a blueprint for reform of mathematics instruction. We assume that this includes curriculum, standards, and assessment. We assume that the working group is interested in perspectives on specific curricula, standards, and assessments, and also in matters of policy with respect to selecting or specifying same. We were asked specifically to comment on the Scope and Sequence document for mathematics.
Many of us have used the Children First numeracy survey as a vehicle to express our views on mathematics instruction. These responses are, with a few exceptions, collected on a Web page [0]. Several themes recur throughout our individual responses, as noted in the Appendix.
New York City has multiple mathematics standards: the State standards, the NCEE/ACPS Performance Standards, and the City Scope and Sequence. Of these, the Scope and Sequence best approximates a useful set of standards, but it is insufficiently specific in many places and fails to indicate the weighting of topics needed to provide students with a proper grounding in mathematics. It is too vague to guide assessments and lacks the prioritizing needed as a basis for classroom planning. In contrast, the California and Massachusetts Standards are clear and balanced, and we recommend those standards as the basis for any future standards effort in New York City. [Addendum Dec 31, 2002: See this link for our detailed Commentary on the NYC Mathematics Scope and Sequence.]
In addition there is the New York State "resource guide" with classroom examples. This document is unrepresentative even of the State Standards, and too many of the activities, such as cutting cardboard in eighth grade, are devoid of grade-appropriate mathematical content.
We recommend for careful study the California content standards, the Massachusetts, standards, the Fordham reviews of State Standards, Bill Quirk's review of the NCEE standards, and the proceedings of the 1999 standards conference at UC Northridge. (References collected under [1]). For general guidelines on standards we refer especially to the introduction by Ralph A. Raimi and Lawrence S. Braden to their 1998 review of state standards [1.e], in which they explain what elements are to be included and excluded from such standards documents. The New York State standards and the NYC edition of the performance standards, and also the NYC Scope and Sequence, leave very much to be desired according to these criteria.
For the immediate future we recommend that curricula and assessments for New York City schools are to be evaluated simultaneously against the California and/or Massachusetts mathematics standards and the New York City Scope and Sequence document. We recommend that the NCEE America's Choice Performance Standards shall play no further role in NYC-DOE policy with regard to mathematics curriculum.
We endorse the role of yearly assessments for the purpose of maintaining standards and guiding instructional policy. However, we believe that the grades 3-8 assessments are at too low a level, and do not allow good students to display their achievement. We also believe strongly that the yearly assessments for the years in which they are controlled by the City (grades 3, 5, 6, 7) should be made public each year in order to have transparency and permit public review of the process.
We believe that NYC will need to start procurement of a new sequence of grade level tests for mathematics. In this procurement the DOE must find a way to balance some conflicting aims: integrity of the testing process, public openness of the tests each year, an alignment with new curricular standards and policies of which the effect will only gradually be felt throughout the grade levels, and a desire to maintain year-to-year comparability of results.
Another matter related to assessment, but independent of the content of the tests, is the use of value-added analysis (e.g., [2]), which looks at the evolution of individual student performance over time. We think that this is a very important tool for evaluating the success of individual schools, classrooms, and curricula, and we recommend that the NYC DOE adopt data collection procedures to allow value-added analysis of test results.
We are convinced that nothing that the NYC-DOE can do can be more cost-effective and beneficial than controlling the choice of curriculum. We do not think that the working group should propose a single curriculum for any grade. Rather, the working group should identify several curricula that it judges to be effective in content-oriented mathematics instruction. The choice should then be left to the schools.
We want to emphasize that New York City could have much better math curricula if the Department of Education would rely on content evaluation by subject matter experts -- professional mathematicians and scientists -- in a process similar to what is used for California textbook adoptions for grades K-8. That process results in expert panel content reviews of all considered programs, and these documents are public. Failure to conduct vigorous debates including content experts has led to a series of poor curriculum choices. The Sequential Mathematics sequence is an example that predates the even worse NCTM motivated curricula.
For identifying effective curricula in short order we advise the working group to start from the most recent outcome of the California textbook adoptions process for grades K-8: the CFIR document [3].
We recognize that there may be good reasons for some schools or classrooms to deviate from the approved list, and the DOE will have some waiver process. In that connection we would advise that the DOE also adopt a short list of curricula that are currently popular and for which waivers will not be granted. This list of unequivocally banned curricula should include at least TERC, CMP, IMP and ARISE. These curricula are fatally flawed because they implement in the most extreme way the 1989 NCTM Standards' wrongheaded call for de-emphasis of algebraic and formal skills. Absent outside tutoring, students forced to take these curricula will be totally unprepared for college mathematics.
We note that years of curricular neglect have created a situation where in many schools and classrooms children start the year at an achievement level that may be three years behind desired standards. So, although the curricula in the California adoptions document are listed by corresponding grade level, we recommend that initially schools will have much flexibility in matching the intended and the actual grade level on a per classroom basis. We recognize that this is going to be a sensitive process, since no-one likes to face up to the need to teach in the first year in the higher grades perhaps several years below proper grade level. We hope that the DOE will face up to this need.
We imagine that the DOE might permit in the 2003-2004 school year any school to start the year in some of its classes in grades 2-3 using a textbook that is one year behind grade level; in some of its classes in grades 4-5 a textbook that is up to two years behind grade level; and in some of its classes in grades 6-8 a textbook that is up to three years behind grade level. In these cases the schools will strive to reduce the gap by about one year by the end of the year (i.e., cover two years of learning in one); students for which this is not possible can be held back.
At the same time, we would insist that already during the 2003-2004 school year every school must offer its pupils in grades 1-5 that are ready for it the opportunity to learn at grade level. (Unfortunately we can not think it realistic to insist on this for grades 6-8.) Schools could achieve this in different ways: by creating disparate classes or by nonstandard placement of pupils.
We would anticipate that in the 2004-2005 school year all pupils in grades K-2 will start the year at grade level, in grades 3-5 no classroom will start more than one year behind grade level, and in grades 6-8 no classroom will start more than two years behind grade level.
Some recurring themes in our responses to the Children First numeracy survey.
The fatally flawed prescriptions of the 1989 NCTM Standards underlie many if not all reform curricula. Of these, the ones mentioned most often in our responses, and always in the negative, were TERC for grade school, CMP for middle school, and IMP and ARISE for high school. It is unacceptable that these curricula in particular are employed in NYC public schools.
Many parents cope via expensive and intensive outside tutoring.
The District (CSD 2, in particular) has never engaged in an honest interaction with parents with regard to mathematics curriculum.
The professional development that is in place in support of TERC and other curricula is at best an expensive waste of time. Teachers need education in mathematics content and not training in the pedagogy of discovery learning.
Several of us stressed the need for clear, coherent, grade by grade standards to guide curriculum and assessment, with reference to the experience in California.
The Saxon and Singapore curricula were both mentioned several times as good alternatives, frequently used for home schooling or to supplement NYC reform curricula.
Many of us mentioned the additional unfair burden that the highly verbal reform curricula place upon English language learners, for whom mathematics might otherwise be the subject in which they could excel.
Several of us expressed deep distrust of the claimed research base in support of the reform curricula.

BOGOTA, 6 July 2007 (UNODC) - A meltdown of nearly 14,000 firearms is to take place on 9 July, International Gun Destruction Day. Organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Colombian Ministry of Defence, the national armed forces and the "Vida Sagrada" programme, the special ceremony will highlight the danger of illegal arms proliferation. Seventy-seven per cent of the firearms scheduled for destruction are illegal. Of those, 60 per cent were illicitly manufactured, 31 per cent are privately owned and 9 per cent belong to the armed forces.
Colombia has one of the highest homicide rates in the world. In 2005, 70% of over 17,000 homicides registered were committed with firearms. Cities registering the highest numbers of legal firearms were also those showing the lowest homicide rates. Conversely, cities with the highest murder rates were those with the lowest number of legal arms. Most homicides in Colombia are connected with the illegal ownership, manufacture and trade of firearms.
The ceremony has the support of the National Plant for Metal Work and Manufacture, SIDENAL. The molten metal will go towards the manufacture of school chairs and the construction of a monument in memory of the victims of violence and kidnapping in Colombia.
The event will take place on Monday 9 July, at 3:00 p.m. (local time) at SIDENAL headquarters, Sogamoso, witnessed by the Minister of Defence, Juan Manuel Santos Calderon; General Freddy Padilla León, Military Forces Commander; Father Alirio López, Director of "Vida Sagrada"; and Stefan Liller, UNODC Colombia.
UNODC recently published a report entitled Violence, Crime and Illegal Arms Trafficking in Colombia, which said the country needed to do more to crack down on arms trafficking. The report challenged the perception that Colombia was plagued by indiscriminate violence. Rather, the use of firearms was highly controlled and regulated by criminal gangs, rebels and the Government.
Since December 2005, UNODC has been the custodian of the Firearms Protocol supplementing the 2003 United Nations International Convention against Transnational Organized Crime.

Controversy, rumors, and expletives were commonplace behind-the-scenes and surrounding American sitcom Roseanne, a hugely popular show that aired from 1988 to 1997. For nine seasons fans laughed along with the blue-collar Conner family's financial misfortunes, and the hilarious antics surrounding them and the supporting cast. The series, which was rated as one of the greatest shows of all time by TV Guide, starred comedienne Roseanne Barr, known for her hot temper, strong opinions and quick, yet sharp tongue. Fans went along for the ride with the cast without looking back for six seasons, and arguably for many it lost its punch by season eight. Here are some shockers, scandals and shenanigans from the Roseanne set you might not know about.
1. Oops, Wrong Scalpel…
Remember that time when Roseanne Barr was orange? Well not exactly, but in the first few episodes of season six she wore so much makeup that she didn't quite look her right…color. According to the star, after the intense plastic surgery she'd undergone in the hiatus following season five, her surgeon sewed a scalpel inside her face and more surgery was necessary to remove it. Yikes! She wasn't completely healed by the start of the new season and makeup was caked on to hide the bruises. As for what she'd had done—Barr went under the knife for a nose job, cheek implants, chin, face lift, eyes, and more.

He called her his little darling. They were barely fifteen. Were they friends? Good pals? Youngsters in love? Possibly all of these. We'll never know.
They spent hours together, doing their homework. She was invited often at Jean's house; he seemed so much nicer than the other boys - and at that age, nothing serious can ever happen. Once only, during a school trip, Jean asked his 'little darling' if she would like to be his girlfriend. She kept her headphones on and merely shook "no" with her head – a movement she regretted all her life. She grew up. She loved. Was loved. But she never forgot Jean. Of course she meets him again, and at last, they allow themselves to be in love with each other. But can this relationship be successful?

The Programme started in Cyprus in 2013 by the Global Water Partnership - Mediterranean (GWP-Med), in partnership with the Coca-Cola Company and Lanitis Bros (Coca-Cola bottler in Cyprus). The Programme's activities are implemented in collaboration with the Pedagogical Institute of Cyprus and the Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development (MIO-ECSDE). The Programme is funded by The Coca-Cola Foundation through two grants: 300,000 US dollars (2013-2015) and 280,000 US dollars (2016-2018).
Aim and Objectives
The NCWR Programme in Cyprus aims to mobilise NCWR, as a sustainable solution to address water scarcity issues in Cyprus. Cyprus is a water stressed country, with limited fresh water resources and, therefore, in vital need of leveraging the potential of NCWRs.
The NCWR Programme's objectives are:
- To promote NCWRs and, especially, greywater reuse as a cost-effective method for water availability and climate change adaptation in Cyprus
- To educate teachers and equip them with tailor-made education material on NCWR, which they will use with their students, in order to raise awareness among the youth on sustainable water use
- To train local technicians on the application of modern NCWR systems and materials, and build their capacity to install and/or repair such systems on the island, sharing their expertise at local level
- To promote knowledge and sharing of experiences on aspects of greywater reuse and rainwater harvesting systems and approaches.
- To promote multi-stakeholder partnerships for local NCWR initiatives.
- To promote dialogue among Mediterranean countries on how to advance the use of NCWR Management
Learn more about the Programme's activities in Cyprus here.

Ever hear of saxophone lung? It's a real thing! I promise, Google it.
"Saxophone Lung is a rare type of hypersensitivity pneumonia, in which patients develop allergic pulmonary disease when they're exposed to fungi that invade instruments — and are never removed. Basically, the musicians have allergic reactions to the mold that won't let up" – NBC News
To avoid the saxophone lung, here is my essential cleaning routine that you should be doing after every practice session.
By adhering to this routine you can avoid the rare respiratory disease that is the saxophone lung, you will keep the saxophone playing at it's best for decades, you can save money on repairs, and not to mention you'll keep your instrument and case from smelling like Grandpa's socks…
If you have anything you'd like to share regarding your saxophone maintenance routine be sure to share your experiences in the comments below!
Step 1 – Swabbing and Avoiding the Saxophone Lung
After you've finished your practice session the first thing to do is swab out your horn, the neck, AND the mouthpiece.
When we blow warm air through cold instrument, condensation begins to form and whatever bacteria was in your mouth will stay inside your saxophone. If you do not remove this, it will dry out and create a crusty residue inside your horn.
Overtime the residue will build up and become reactivated anytime you play creating a VERY gross sludge. The sludge builds up near neck and mouthpiece the most, so its important to always swab out both of those as well as the entire instrument.
You will need two swabs – I use the BG A32 swab for cleaning out the neck and mouthpiece, and the BG A30A swab for cleaning out the rest of the saxophone body.
I like to pass the swab through the instrument three times. Make sure you always put the weighted end in first, and when cleaning out the neck I like to wipe down the tenon to clean it off of any dirt and residue as well.
Lastly swab through the mouthpiece and be sure to wipe off the exterior, this is very important.
I think it's a good idea once you've swabbed out the inside, to wipe down the outside – especially if you've been playing a long time. If you leave the moisture on the outside of the horn, the inside of your case could start to smell. For the same reason, I like to store my swabs in a separate compartment of my case.
Step 2 – Key Leaves
These key leaves are a GREAT invention for saxophone players. While most of the keys on the saxophone are always open until you press a key down, a handful of keys always stay closed. When using the key leaves on your instrument, they prop the keys that usually stay closed, open to give the pads a chance to dry out just like the rest of the the instrument.
This is so helpful in preventing sticky keys all over our saxophone.
They will also help significantly increase the life of your pads, reducing the amount of times you have to have them replaced.
Step 3 – The Palm Keys
I take a small microfiber cloth and I put it in all of the palm key pads to wipe off the extra moisture. The full body swab does not get all of the excess moisture. Using this little cloth helps clean underneath all of the nooks and crannies of your saxophone.
Before I started doing this I would usually have to replace palm key pads every five years. But now, my pads are so clean that they should last for decades to come before having to replace them again.
Not Swabbing Excuse 1 – Money
Having an instrument is similar to having a car. There is a lot of maintenance involved, and it's a large investment. So if you don't want to spend the money on all of my favorite cleaning products, you can get creative and make your own equipment.
You could take a wine cork and cut it into pieces to place underneath your pads instead of the key leaves, or you can make your own swab out of an old t-shirt like I did back in college (though I don't fully recommend that).
Not Swabbing Excuse 2 – Time
"I don't have time to clean out my saxophone after rehearsal today, I'm going to be late for class!" "It's too much work to clean my saxophone, I don't have time!" I constantly hear these kinds of excuses from people about why they don't clean out their instruments.
So I timed it out.
If you just put your saxophone away, it takes about 20 seconds. If you do some basic maintenance it takes about 90 seconds. For roughly an extra minute of your time, you will have prolonged the health and life of your instrument for decades to come.
Plus, cleaning out your saxophone will not only keep your instrument happy, but it will keep you away from the dreaded saxophone lung.

Longtime Resident Says New Initiative Could Put Russell On Right Track
There have been many initiatives designed to help improve life in Russell — and in other parts of West Louisville — but Haven Harrington, a longtime resident and former president of the Russell Neighborhood Association, says a new community development initiative may be on the right track to truly making a difference in Russell.
Louisville Metro Government and Cities United, a network of cities working to curb violence in American cities relating to black men and boys, on Wednesday announced Russell: A Place of Promise. With a $5 million grant from the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust, A Place of Promise will support affordable housing, job creation and more in the area, officials say.
The William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust may also work with the Russell initiative through a fellowship for young black men ages 22-26 to prepare them for roles in civic leadership.
But Harrington said the focus on wealth creation is what really excites him because it would help build what he calls a "merchant class" in West Louisville and address the city's income gap.
"You can kind of build that next layer of wealth which is so needed in West Louisville," Harrington said. "There's a tremendous discrepancy of median, average income, and anything that helps alleviate that, that helps to keep the wealth in the community, I'm all for it."
Louisville has made some progress in bridging economic gaps over time, but racial disparities remain.
According to a report earlier this year by the Urban Institute, a national nonprofit research organization, the city's racial poverty gap is less inclusive than the average across most cities. The report also shows the difference in the number of black and white homeowners in Louisville has grown since 1990.
Russell: A Place of Promise aims to address unmet needs, avoid gentrification and rely on people who live in Russell to decide how the neighborhood grows. An advisory board with representatives of local organizations would provide oversight.
Anthony Smith, executive director at Cities United and co-leader of the initiative, said they'll employ 25 people to knock at residents' doors and get people involved.
"Our main focus here in Russell is really going to be focused on the community engagement strategy of bringing folks to the table," Smith said. "We see the $5 million as a seed and an add-on to some of the other investments that were led, but really an opportunity to bring community in and help decide, and make decisions about what they want their community to look like."
Harrington applauds the initiative for relying on community input, saying similar initiatives in the past have disregarded residents. He said A Place of Promise seems genuine because some of its stakeholders are serious and care for the community.
The $5 million grant will be distributed over three years for the initiative. It complements other investment underway in the neighborhood, including a $29.5 million dollar Housing and Urban Development grant. The incubation period to fund the program until it's sustainable could last up to five years. Co-leader Theresa Zawacki said they've started fundraising in case it takes longer than three years to find steady support.
Public meetings about the initiative will be held:
- Tuesday, August 28 from 5:00–7:30 p.m. at the Joshua Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church
- Thursday, August 30 from 5:00–7:30 p.m. at the Baxter Community Center
- Saturday, September 8 from 11:30 a.m.– 1:00 p.m. at a location to be announced later

Teaching in Spain
Job alert by email
Let schools find you
13°C to 25°C
47 million
Passionate, sophisticated and devoted to living the good life, Spain is a stereotype come to life and a country more diverse than you could ever imagined. Whether you are taking a sun drenched seaside stroll in Barcelona, or sipping sangria in a café in Madrid, Spain offers both locals and foreigners an undeniably pleasant lifestyle.
Teaching in Spain
The school day in most primary schools in Spain is from 09:00-12:00 and 15:00-17:00. There is a two-and-a-half to three-hour break in the middle of the day for lunch and a siesta. Many children go home for the breaks, though children of working parents may stay and have lunch if this is available.
The school day at secondary schools is normally longer than at primary schools, running from 08:30-15:00 or 09:00-15:00, but as with primary schools times may vary greatly from place to place. A large number of national holidays provides ample opportunities to explore Spain's endless array of cultural and natural treasures from sun-soaked beaches and exquisite Moorish architecture to world-class museums containing works from Spanish national like Picasso and Dali.
About Spain
Spain was once the most powerful nation in Europe, and the world's greatest colonial power. Some of the great names of Spain's history - Christopher Columbus or Magellan, for example, have left their names and exploits to posterity. Today's Spain has many memories and vestiges of the country's golden past - and also of the darker days and ways of its history, that can be found all over the country, often well off the beaten track.
With its Roman remains, its fabulous castles, its great cathedrals, its museums, its Moorish heritage, its medieval towns and villages, and its fabulously rich natural environment, Spain is a country that has it all, for the enquiring tourist.

Seldom can a sight-seeing vessel have turned so many heads in commercial shipping as the carbon fibre 'Vision of the Fjords', reported in last month's 'Maritime Journal'. According to Simrad though, it may be the ship's bridge technology that proves its most significant feature.
Known as Seasight through her development phase at shipyard Brødene aa, the eye-catching Vision of the Fjords began carrying tourists between Flåm and Gudvangen along Norway's western coast in June, taking in the UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord. Those on board are free to roam over the distinctive zig-zagging exterior in pursuit of the ultimate view - a design aiming to emulate a mountainside trail.
The feature bringing the ferry to wider attention has been its propulsion, whose hybrid DC distribution and storage solution allows Vision of the Fjords to switch to silent, two emission-free 287 kWh batteries when entering conservation areas.
All of the new ferry's main bridge equipment items - from the radar to the electronic chart display information system (ECDIS), autopilot, compact gyro compass, and DGPS - are Simrad-branded solutions.
"This is a major reference for Simrad safety, navigation and control technology", says Leif Ottosson, CEO, Navico. "The Norwegian ferry market is rightly known as a trend setter in ship technology, but it is also fiercely competitive. Securing this contract puts Simrad bridge products at the heart of innovation in the commercial maritime industry."
In fact, Vision of the Fjords provides an early showcase for the Simrad PLECDIS E5024 system, launched last year as the latest IMO type-approved Simrad navigation system for use aboard SOLAS vessels, and distinguished, says Simrad, by simple installation and intuitive user interface. Also onboard are two Argus 12U radars for high speed craft. Working off one 9ft and one 6ft antennas, Simrad's X-band technology can merge two antenna images (including full ARPA and AIS) in one display.
The Simrad PLECDIS E5024 itself is a dual ECDIS station solution, featuring a wireless trackball controller, 24-inch Full-HD 16:9 widescreens with on-screen keyboards, and simplified drag-and-drop waypoint manipulation for route planning.
In addition to the main displays, the Vision of the Fjords bridge console also includes the Simrad GC85 Compact gyro system, which is fully approved for High Speed Craft - trailed as the most flexible Gyrocompass on the market in installation, configuration and cost terms.
Also onboard is the Simrad AP80 autopilot system, which features adaptive software that offers users the opportunity to select either auto or navigation modes, with settings to enable slow speed and manoeuvring quickly. The newly-designed Simrad MX612 navigation system onboard has been designed to match the AP80 autopilot, and its 5" LCD bonded screen is distinguished by a clearer and fog-proof display with wide viewing angles.
Last, but not least, is the Simrad EP70 Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB), whose high-intensity LED at to the top of the antenna ensures optimal visibility.
The Fjords chief executive Rolf Sandvik has already given notice that the partnership behind Vision on the Fjords intends to build more vessels of similar specification. The anticipated newbuilds will all feature "the latest technology", according to Sandvik.
As the distinctive Vision of the Fjords continues to turn heads cruising up and down the Norwegian coast in perhaps the highest specification maritime market in the world, ambitions for Simrad-branded products will surely be done no harm at all.

Soil around the root section
This drawing shows a root section in a well prepared soil.
Soil structure has been modified so that nearly half the mass is taken up by large pore spaces holding air and small pore spaces holding water. Air, water and nutrients move from particles through root hair into roots and are transported to the stem and leaves. A thin film of water is held on the surface of each particle of Plante-perl Perlite.

How to complete your awesome street look? You can add chunky accessories, jewelry, beautiful watches or trendy hat.

We see light-red tight loop bandana neck scarf worn with crispy white shirt. Love it!
There are multiple ways how you can wear your favorite bandana scarf. You can make it look a little Western inspired, or you can loosely loop it, or go for an overisze style by folding it in half and let the ends hang out. Personally, I like to make knot in front of my blouse by keeping a laid-back balance look. I see lots of girls wearing it by tucking it into a popped-collar blouse. Yes, there are plenty of cool ways to wear it nowadays. Whatever your style is, you can wear it as you like. Anyway, let's see how models and street stars wear them in their everyday lives. Don't forget to tell me your thoughts about this trend.

What is the nature of our true spiritual being, which is always at hand for us to discern and demonstrate?
Whenever I delve into thinking about this, about what we truly are, I just get blown away. (I'm not new to this kind of thinking, either!) My amazement must be similar to the wonder and awe the Psalmist felt when he asked the same basic question and then received his answer:
"O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.… When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet" (Psalms 8:1, 3–6).
Think of that: We are made (in other words, created) to have dominion over the works of God's hands. This is our actual nature and purpose: to manifest the existence and presence of the Almighty God. As God's image and likeness, we are no more God than our reflection in the mirror is who we are; but as God's reflection we serve as evidence of God's supreme control and authority over His own creation.
This scientific sense of our relation to God is a far cry from the materialistic sense of things that tempts us all daily. But by following after Christ Jesus in the understanding of our spiritual nature, we can begin to glimpse the power and authority we each have in Truth.
Some years ago my mom became desperately ill. My dad called me one night to pray for her. I did so, but by early morning she had slipped into a coma. For a time there was no indication of life at all. Unwilling to admit, even to himself, that she had passed on, my dad called his workplace and said simply that he would not come in to work that day because his wife was unconscious.
Although I was fully aware that, as God's reflection, we all manifest the infinite nature of God, I was imagining this meant that each one of us individually manifests a small part of God's nature, while all of us combined reflect God's complete nature. In other words, I thought that each of us individually would express some aspect of God's authority, but that it would take all of us collectively for God's full divine authority to be expressed.
But that morning I came to be corrected on this misunderstanding about God's reality. As I was mentally declaring the truth of eternal Life in regard to my mom, I had a revelation beyond any I had ever experienced before.
I valued and cherished the divine sovereignty and omnipotent power behind the Christian Science treatment I had already given.
I suddenly realized that a reflection reflects the whole nature of its original, not just part of it. Therefore I, as the unique, individual reflection of God, reflected not merely a portion of divine authority to, for instance, reason scientifically about life as spiritual; but I reflected all of God's authority—in my individual God-caused way. And that supreme authority of God surely gave me, by reflection, the power to deny existence to disease and death and overcome them.
With an awe I had never known before, I valued and cherished the divine sovereignty and omnipotent power behind the Christian Science treatment I had already given during the night, and I expected, without reservation, a healing effect. I even said out loud, "Why, Father, as Your image and likeness, I differ from You only as effect differs from cause."
A little later my dad called his employer to say that he would be coming in to work after all. The employer gasped, "But what about your wife?"
A man of few words, my dad answered, "Oh, she's fine. She's in the kitchen fixing breakfast." And she was! She was fully well; there was no period of recuperation whatsoever.
God's supremacy does not have limited or hit-or-miss expression in single individuals. Each one of us represents the whole of God's being in an individual way. And when we know a spiritual truth, we know that it is true for all of God's creation and that it has all the authority of God behind it. While God does need all of us to express Him fully, we each reflect His infinite power.
Just consider the following passage taken from the answer to the question "What is man?" in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy: "Man is idea, the image, of Love; he is not physique. He is the compound idea of God, including all right ideas; the generic term for all that reflects God's image and likeness; the conscious identity of being as found in Science, in which man is the reflection of God, or Mind, and therefore is eternal; that which has no separate mind from God; that which has not a single quality underived from Deity; that which possesses no life, intelligence, nor creative power of his own, but reflects spiritually all that belongs to his Maker" (p. 475).
And elsewhere Mrs. Eddy's writings add: "Each of Christ's little ones reflects the infinite One, and therefore is the seer's declaration true, that 'one on God's side is a majority' " (Pulpit and Press, p. 4).
So when we are praying for ourselves or for another, we can realize that each of us in our unique fashion reflects not merely a small part but actually the full authority of God. This realization can open us up to perceive the uncontested divine authority that we actually manifest in our real spiritual nature, an authority which we can demonstrate in healing.

How do most people split the rent?
I receive this question from readers fairly often, but I don't usually have much of an answer, or for that matter much experience (when I roomed with Daniel Klein, he and I split the rent evenly). Now there is an interesting study. There are 42 datapoints and definitely some selection bias, but it's better than anything else I've seen. It examines for instance whether people first pick rooms and then set the prices, or first set the prices and then pick the rooms, or draw from a hat. It measures which factors most affect the rent splitting, with "No door" and "Private shower" coming in first and second respectively. The factor of importance for an apartment with the biggest standard deviation is size of the common area. In the survey, personal space is what people are willing to pay the most extra for. Opinions about the importance of windows have a high variance.
Here is their rent calculator, based on the above study.

Mirena IUD Multidistrict Litigation Regarding Intracranial Hypertension. Women who claim that they have experienced symptoms that mimic brain tumors from using the Mirena Intrauterine Device (IUD) will have their day in court. The plaintiffs sought to consolidate lawsuits filed throughout the country will have their cases heard in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York according to an order issued by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML). The court consolidated the cases into one larger case referred to as MDL 2767. Merging the claims in one court is one of the many legal hurdles the plaintiffs will face as they seek compensation for the side effects they suffered from using the Mirena IUD.
Parker Waichman LLP's dedicated, experienced, and zealous medical device defects attorneys are in the process of reviewing claims made by women who used the IUD and have suffered adverse side effects. Time is of the essence. Therefore, any woman who fell ill, especially from intracranial hypertension is advised to contact Parker Waichman LLP today to discuss their rights and options.
Who is responsible for the adverse side effects caused by Mirena?
The answer to that question which has not been resolved to this point. Bayer and its subsidiaries designed, manufactured, and marketed the product. The women have sued Bayer contending that the active ingredient in the IUD, a hormone called Levonorgestrel, causes intracranial hypertension. Bayer denies these allegations.
While the woman all say that they had not experienced any symptoms from a condition known as "Pseudotumor Cerebri," which is another term for idiopathic intracranial hypertension until they used the Mirena IUD. Consequently, the plaintiffs allege that Bayer failed to give the appropriate warnings for the product, failed to recall the product after learning of the potential problems the device caused, misleading the plaintiffs, making false claims, manufacturing defects, and design defects.
Bayer vigorously defends its actions. Bayer cited in its opposition to the plaintiffs' motion to consolidate the cases in the MDL that the device is intended to be implanted in overweight or obese women. Bayer cited a study which concluded that 63 percent of the women who use Mirena are overweight or obese as support for its contention. According to Bayer, that statistic is important because women who are at risk for suffering from intracranial hypertension are overweight or obese females. Bayer claims that two other risk factors, age and a recent increase in weight are also present in an overwhelming segment of the population of plaintiffs. Therefore, Bayer argues, the plaintiffs cannot prove that the hormone used in Mirena is actually causing the Pseudotumor Cerebri.
Causation remains a contentious issue for the parties. The plaintiffs cannot prevail in their cases if they cannot prove causation. The lack of causation has already let Bayer off the hook in one segment of Mirena MDL cases. In MDL 2434, the plaintiffs alleged that the Mirena IUD migrated around their bodies after implantation. The women found the IUD all over their abdomens after they suffered significant and painful side effects. The women said that Bayer never warned them about the possibility of what the plaintiffs called "secondary migration." In other words, the IUD perforated the uterine wall and entered into other parts of the women's bodies. Bayer defended their position by demonstrating that they warned that perforation could occur during insertion. With that difference of opinion, the JPML consolidated the cases in the Southern District of New York, and the litigation commenced.
This particular case did not end well for the plaintiffs. Over 1,300 women filed suit against Bayer and lost because they could not prove that the device was capable of perforating a woman's uterus after insertion. The court struck the plaintiffs' proposed experts and left them without any way of proving that secondary migration was even possible. Therefore, the judge granted summary judgment in favor of Bayer. Many plaintiffs involved in that litigation continue to fight on in their respective state courts.
How is MDL 2767 different?
The chief complaint made by the plaintiffs in this action distinguishes this case from the cases in which Bayer prevailed. Pseudotumor Cerebri is an increase in pressure inside of the afflicted's head without any apparent cause. The symptoms overall appear to be a brain tumor, but imaging diagnostic quickly reveals that no tumor is present.
In addition to pressure in the head, pseudotumor cerebri is known to cause symptoms such as:
- Severe headaches behind the eyes,
- Pulsatile Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, which pulses which each heartbeat,
- Dizziness, nausea, and vomiting,
- Impaired vision which is typically blurry,
- Momentary loss of vision in one or both eyes,
- Trouble with peripheral vision,
- Light flashing, and
- Pain in the upper back, through the shoulders and into the neck area.
The cause of pseudotumor cerebri is generally unknown when it occurs in the general population, which is infrequent. The condition occurs in 1 or 2 out of every 100,000 people. Although pseudotumor cerebri can surface in men and children, obese women of childbearing age are most susceptible to suffering from the malady.
Researchers believe that the problem may arise from an excess of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Cerebrospinal fluid forms a cushioning barrier around our spinal cords and brains. Physicians believe that the build-up of the fluid causes pressure to develop in the skull because there is little to no room to accommodate an excess of fluid. Some physicians wonder whether the build-up happens when blood does not absorb the cerebrospinal fluid.
Clinicians have connected pseudotumor cerebri to three causes that are not disease related. Pseudotumor Cerebri has been linked to taking growth hormone, tetracycline (a powerful antibiotic), and an excess of vitamin A. There are many disorders and diseases which researchers have related it to intracranial hypertension.
Bayer claims that the plaintiffs are candidates for pseudotumor cerebri because some fit a particular physical profile. They appear to be ignoring the fact that an occurrence of pseudotumor cerebri occurs is very rare. However, among the plaintiffs, they have one thing in common: the Mirena IUD.
The Mirena IUD is a T-shaped device that physicians implant in the patient's uterus. The shape of the device prevents pregnancy. Additionally, the IUD secretes the hormone levonorgestrel which works to stop sperm from fertilizing the egg.
At least one research study, which was reported on by the National Institute of Health, observed a clinical link between levonorgestrel as used in Mirena and an increased risk of intracranial hypertension. The study's authors suggested that more work should be done to explore the reasons behind the connection.
The plaintiffs, however, cannot hang their collective hats on this one study. They need to obtain learned medical experts who use the scientific method to reach the same conclusion at which the NIH researchers arrived.

Notes for teachers
Electromagnetic Induction
The magnetic flux developed around the coil being proportional to the amount of current flowing in the coils windings as shown.
If additional layers of wire are wound upon the same coil with the same current flowing through them, the static magnetic field strength would be increased.
Therefore, the Magnetic Field Strength of a coil is determined by the ampere turns of the coil. With more turns of wire within the coil the greater will be the strength of the static magnetic field around it.
But what if we reversed this idea by disconnecting the electrical current from the coil and instead of a hollow core we placed a bar magnet inside the core of the coil of wire. By moving this bar magnet "in" and "out" of the coil a current would be induced into the coil by the physical movement of the magnetic flux inside it.
Electromagnetic Induction was first discovered way back in the 1830's by Michael Faraday. Faraday noticed that when he moved a permanent magnet in and out of a coil or a single loop of wire it induced an ElectroMotive Force or emf, in other words a Voltage, and therefore a current was produced.
Faraday's Law of Induction
- Increasing the number of turns of wire in the coil – By increasing the amount of individual conductors cutting through the magnetic field, the amount of induced emf produced will be the sum of all the individual loops of the coil, so if there are 20 turns in the coil there will be 20 times more induced emf than in one piece of wire.
- Increasing the speed of the relative motion between the coil and the magnet – If the same coil of wire passed through the same magnetic field but its speed or velocity is increased, the wire will cut the lines of flux at a faster rate so more induced emf would be produced.
- Increasing the strength of the magnetic field – If the same coil of wire is moved at the same speed through a stronger magnetic field, there will be more emf produced because there are more lines of force to cut.

Hey All!
As you all know, I recently went home to NYC and had a little non-stop ice cream party while I met with some brands and caught up with family and friends. I called it my New York Ice Cream Crawl, since I went all over Manhattan trying ice cream and Gelato! It was a fabulous time to say the least. A lot of you expressed you'd like to know where I went specifically, so you too can do your own crawl when you visit. I am happy to share that info with you all since I heart you and everyone needs ice cream all day and every day! To make it even simpler for you to do your crawl, I had my amazing designer friend Kerry LaRue draw me up this adorable map and a rating guide with addresses to each location for you. This will make it extra easy for you to do your own New York Ice Cream Crawl! You simply rate each place you try ice cream at on a scale of 1 to 5. One being the best and 5 being your least favorite, so you can remember which places you definitely want to go back to and get ice cream from again. I took a bunch a pics on my adventure, which I'm happy to share with you today. Pardon me if they aren't the best as they are all iPhone pictures!
You can DOWNLOAD both the map the rating guide HERE. I went to a bunch of amazing ice cream and gelato shops and I also got super lucky and went to the Museum of Ice Cream! I broke it up into two days, so I wouldn't have a sugar over dose!
I went to Grom and got some of this amazing vanilla gelato with whipped cream on top.
Down the block from grom is Pop Bar, which makes gelato on a stick! I couldn't pass up trying it and who cares if I just had gelato. It's an ice cream crawl right?!
That's right folks! This is not a popsicle, it's gelato on a stick! Mango gelato to be exact!
I practically at this gelato on a stick in like 3 bites. It was that good! And yes I bite my popsicles and gelato on a stick.
I then headed uptown to where Bloomingdales is and hit up some ice cream shops there.
The first on my dying to try was Cool Mess. I wanted to take their ice cream cart home with me!
The place is covered in sprinkles and I loved every inch of it.
There is a sign with an arrow pointing you in the direction to the entrance that says cool.
You head up the sprinkle heaven staircase and you're in make your own ice cream heaven!
You can sit and make your own ice cream with friends which you can take home or you can get a scoop of some already made ice cream that they have. You can put it in a waffle cone or bowl from the Konery to make it even more amazing. If you sit down, the tables also have sprinkle shakers, so you can put an unlimited amount of sprinkles on your ice cream! Yes sprinkles are free!!!
And I would never take a picture of a bathroom, but theirs is beyond cute. When you go to the bathroom you see this on the wall.
When you look in the mirror you see it says looking cool! How cute is that?!!
It's the perfect place to have an ice cream party or to just come and have some amazing ice cream fun!
While I was there I hunted down my favorite soft serve ice cream from The Mister Softee Truck! It's kind of hard to find them now in NYC, which is sad. All these bootleg trucks have taken over the city and I'm not liking it one bit! If you find a Mister Softee truck, you need to have one of their amazing cones!
As long as you're uptown, you have to try Serendipity 3! They have some incredible huge sundaes! My favorite is the strawberry field. I hack it though and get vanilla ice cream instead of strawberry. It's strawberry or vanilla ice cream with a slice of cheesecake, strawberries all round, strawberry sauce, and whipped cream. It's the best!!! I literally go there just to eat it. You need to try any of their amazing sundaes. They even have one with like 24 carat gold!
The following day was the day I was to go to the Museum of Ice Cream, which sadly closes on 9/10/2016, so if you didn't get a ticket, you probably won't be able to go to that. I still took a million pics which I'm sharing in a gallery at the bottom of this post, so you can see what it was like.
On the way to the Museum of Ice Cream is an amazing creamery called Ample Hills Creamery. It's connected to the amazing restaurant Bubby's! If it was Bubbly's I would have died!
They make all their amazing flavors as well as cones made out of cookies right here in the shop.
They have incredible flavors like Ooey Gooey, which is everything you see below mixed together.
It was incredible and I believe their flavors of ice cream change all the time, so you definitely want to check out what flavors they will have next when you go.
I ended my ice cream crawl there as I had to come back home to LA, but I wanted to share the amazing time I had at the Museum of Ice Cream as well! They gave us samples of ice cream as well and they had everything chocolate to munch on in a chocolate room to a sprinkle pool and ice cream sandwich and ice cream scoop seesaw!
It was amazing and I'm so happy I got to go before it closed. I hope it opens in Los Angeles next or comes back to NYC next summer. Below is a gallery I put together of some fun highlights from the museum. I have photos of everything, but these are the best from the pics I got!
I hope this little printable guide helps you with your own ice cream crawl all over NYC. Have a tasty fun time printing it out and trying all this tasty ice cream! You can have ice cream all year long in my book!
If you find any other shops I should have visited be sure to let me know in the comments below!
I'm planning to do lots more crawls here in Los Angeles. We have some awesome ice cream shops here in LA as well and I did a donut crawl for my birthday, that I'm going to do again. Lots of crawls coming your way soon.

It wouldn't be the obvious choice for an evening out. But Lima is a little gem of a place, tucked away in Rathbone Place just at the lower end of its more famous sister, Charlotte Street. It didn't seem to have been open that long when we went there and the restaurant and staff had that fresh feel that many places lose once the operation becomes better known and more established.
The food is unusual in composition, probably because not many of us are accustomed to Peruvian cuisine, but very original and beautifully presented. Not a guinea pig in sight. Try the pisco sours as a cocktail to go with your starter, the Clasico is excellent and very original. The Sea Bream Ceviche was fresh and vibrant with the spicy flavours bursting through. So often ceviche disappoints because the fish is not fresh and the flavours don't work in counterpoint to the fish. This was just right.
The Beef Pachamanca ended up being Lamb but that didn't really matter. A very small but perfectly cooked piece of meat. It is at this point that you realize that in fact there's nothing especially unusual about Peruvian cooking, it's all in the presentation and the slightly unusual combinations.
There's a front and rear section to the restaurant, separated by an open kitchen where you can observe everything that's going on. This is a common approach in modern restaurants and I have to say that I like it. The front restaurant is a nice place to sit by the window and watch the world go by. The wine list has sensible prices for London and a reasonable choice. You can also order many of the wines in 500ml quantity or by the glass.
So, what's the problem with the Peruvian service? Well, I'll tell you what the problem is. Having booked a table for six thirty, just as we were settling down to finish our wine at five to nine, the waitress casually strolled over to our table and with no prior warning told us that she wanted the table back for a booking at nine. And that was after spending two hundred pounds for the two of us. On principle I never accept a restaurant reservation where there is a time limit as I think it's disgraceful behaviour on the part of the owners. You pay, so you should be able to stay as long as you want. We paid and we left. So, sorry Lima, but we won't be coming back again.

Current monetary policy has worked because it has helped lift stock prices which in turn have fueled the economic recovery, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told CNBC on Friday.
Addressing a gamut of issues, from the European debt crisis to the floundering US housing industry, the former central bank chief said the rising stock market—up more than 80 percent from its March 2009 financial crisis lows—has been pivotal.
"There's a real upward momentum here," he said. "I think we are underestimating and continuing to underestimate how important asset prices, very specifically equity prices, are not only to shareholders but the economy as a whole."
The point is important in that it as at the center of current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's efforts. The Fed has dramatically expanded its balance sheet in hopes that more liquidity in the economy will help drive up the prices of riskier assets, particularly stocks.
Such movement helps create psychological momentum that in turns lifts everything else, advocates of the policy say.
Banks were the hardest hit during the financial crisis and have benefited most from the recovery in stock prices
"A very big part of the banks coming out of this was a very dramatic rise in the market value of the equity of the banks," Greenspan said.
Yet he edged towards criticism of some policies during the crisis, particularly the rash of bailouts used to support so-called too-big-to-fail companies.
"Any system in which there are not significant bankruptcies doesn't work," he said.
Turning to Europe and its sovereign debt crisis, Greenspan said other nations there should behave more like Germany, which has addressed looming fiscal problems with a series of tough austerity measures that while unpopular also have proven effective.
The EU debt crisis, in which Ireland recently needed an International Monetary Fund bailout and other smaller countries with heavy sovereign debt loads are expected to follow, arose because of countries not living within the European Union framework.
EU rules restrict countries from running up deficits greater than 3 percent of their total budget, but that restriction has been shattered by a number of countries in the 16-member union.
"Their common interests, if exercised, will generate for each of them benefits," Greenspan said. "You try to get benefits from others—beggar thy neighbor, if you recall—nobody gets anything."
Closer to home, the recovery faces other obstacles, particularly the lackluster performance of the US housing market.
Though pending home sales showed a strong snapback in October, Greenspan he worries about the continued drop in prices. Conversely, he said if prices can start to stabilize that could lead to a significant recovery for the industry.
"If we can manage to hold a little longer and prices start to move up, I think we will finally start to get residential construction moving," Greenspan said. "It's at such a low level, it can really pop up."

There are few legends of the financial domination world that do it quite like Princess Ashley. With cool bratty dominance oozing from her pores like honey, it's obvious how she was able to reach the upper echelon of findom as quickly as she did. Losers can't wait to drool over this Princess' hypnotizing gaze.
Million Dollar Maven
You might as well empty your bank accounts, refinance your houses, and liquidate your assets now. Princess Ashley is a wallet drain virtuoso. She once made $50,000.00 in one day from a single sub, rounding out at about $75,000.00 in a single month – all while hardly lifting Her pretty little fingers. After just 4 years in the financial domination industry, Princess reached an income of a chill 1 million dollars, all sent from the bank accounts of weak rich men. You may be powerful in the office, but you're putty in Her hands. You can't resist giving it all up for Her.
Helping Hand
Princess Ashley might be a greedy Goddess with men, but she's also been using her powers for good. An avid animal lover, Ashley has raised and donated to various causes throughout her career. So every time you go into debt for Princess, you're contributing to Her and donating to a good cause. What's better than a hot domme who makes the world a better place? Pay attention, losers. You're going to need to be sharp to keep up with reimbursing all of Ashley's getaways, manicures, and lunches with her mega hot friend Goddess Lindsey. Be a good pay piggie and drain your accounts for Princess. That's your purpose in life anyway, isn't it?

Noctua NH-L12: Cooling Performance And Noise
Noctua's NH-L12 is the smallest, and, at 415 grams, the lightest cooler in our round-up. We think this is appropriate, given the heat sink's intended role in HTPCs and compact enclosures.
The bottom of the cooler and its four 6 mm heat pipes are made of copper, and the heat sink's 60 fins are made of aluminum. Performance-wise, the smaller cooler has a more difficult time coping with the Phenom II X6 1090T's six overclocked cores, causing it to drop into last place in our story. Under full load, we record a CPU temperature 45.7 degrees Celsius higher than the ambient temperature. It doesn't matter if we run the fan at its maximum 1460 RPM or at a slower 1000 RPM. Less overall surface area simply limits maximum cooling performance. At idle, CPU temperatures look better, and are still competitive at 6.6 and 7.6 degrees Celsius above ambient temperature with the fan spinning at 1000 and 1460 RPM, respectively.
Let's look at this with a bit of context: given that we know Noctua's NH-L12 is designed for HTPCs and smaller PCs, its cooling performance should be ample for those applications. If you're instead shopping for a more overclocking-oriented cooling solution, look elsewhere. Then again, you might not have to go very far. After all, Noctua has another down-draft cooler, the NH-C14, designed with more aggressive thermal performance in mind. It's larger, heavier, and comes with two 140 mm fans.
Although we gave each vendor one spot in today's story, we did go ahead and include the NH-C14's benchmark numbers in our cooler charts. Under full load, Noctua's NH-C14 keeps the CPU temperature at 24.4 degrees Celsius above ambient temperature, and 25.4 degrees Celsius with the fan speed down to 1000 RPM. This is a strong showing for a down-draft cooler.
The NH-C14 is not exactly quiet, though. It registered 44 dB(A) with its fan spinning at 1240 RPM, and 37.7 dB(A) at 1000 RPM.
On the other hand, the NH-L12's 120 and 92 mm fans yield better acoustic results. At a fan speed of 1000 RPM, the cooler produces a nice 32.9 dB(A), which is slightly higher than the two competitors' noise levels. At maximum RPM, the Noctua NH-L12 is between the other two coolers with 42.5 dB(A).
