As a partnership between the UN's International Labour Organization and the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, Better Work brings diverse groups together – governments, global brands, factory owners, and unions
As a partnership between the UN's International Labour Organization and the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, Better Work brings diverse groups together – governments, global brands, factory owners, and unions and workers – to improve working conditions in the garment industry and make the sector more competitive.
We partner up with ILO-Better Work to help
them design an innovative information
management system, able to gather and
synthetize data on their impact and
Based on the growing need to adopt an approach that creates lasting, positive change through assessments, training, advocacy and research, Better Work assists partner enterprises in improving practices involving coreILO labour standards and national labour law.
Accompanied by Relief Applications, Better work is structuring its systems to efficiently respond to large numbers of vulnerable workers in developing countries in an innovative way.
In light of new IT developments and global trends – automation, robotics, artificial intelligence – data is predicted to become more complex and to be increasingly collected directly from its source through new means such as Internet of Things, mobile applications and social media.
Furthermore, as industry standards and approaches keep changing, and Better Work is expanding to new industries and countries, program's data needs are expected to change over the years. After having analyzed their two main existing system to asses compliance ina dynamic and collaborative way, we are in the process of designing a prototype platform to collect and categorize data in different datasets according to global/local reach and specificity, purpose and legal reference. We will test this tool within the Indonesia team as soon the final draft of the new assessment will be validated through a collaborative process involving all stakeholders and team members.
In the meanwhile, we are working in close contact with Better Work to put the user at the center of the development process and, as a result, improve the way they meet their needs. User-centered design means partnering withusers throughout the project's lifecycle, co-creating solutions, and continuously gathering and incorporating users' feedback.
By designing with the users, and not for them,
we can build digital tools to better address
the specific context, behaviours and
expectations of final product user.
As such, we are helping Better Work to shift to an incremental and iterative development process that allows for improving users' current processes, saving time, using fewer resources and improving quality.
Machine Learning
An important step in making assessment procedures more efficient will be through the use of Mobile Data Collection (MDC) techniques, the first step will be to develop standardized options for questionnaires and automated data analysis without requiring data transformation.
We will help Better Work to look into Machine
Learning capacities to leverage their
extensive historical data and how to use it to
predict possible answers
To go beyond this, we will help Better Work to look into Machine Learning capacities to leverage their extensive historical data and how to use it to predict possible answers to a set questions and propose pre-determined options to the user.
Internet of Things
The Internet of Things is a new technical field referring to the interconnection via the internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data. In this direction we are also implementing with Better Work a pilot project regarding the use of connected devices such as sensors.
Working with factories, Better Work collects large amounts of data which need to be collected in real time at factory level. In partnership with each supplier the pilot will allow the installation of devices in their factories to measure with high precision levels of noise, temperature and humidity, granting an elevated degree of transparency of information and accountability towards all stakeholders.
Our journey with Better Work has just started but it is already looking really interesting and ready to scale up, stay connected to know all about this project!

New Solutions for the Future
About Us
Technology improvements and optimized operations are two measures to reduce carbon emissions associated with conventional aviation fuel. However, this has been done for more than 50 years and further improvements require substantial efforts while only having a limited effectiveness. The only measure to substantially improve the environmental footprint of the industry in the short- and medium-term is to scale cleaner fuels or also called advanced alternative fuels. Cleaner fuels reduce emissions, scale down exploitation and consider other social factors that contribute to society on many levels.
The cleaner fuels Flightnook utilizes are drop in fuels that can be blended with fossil based fuels without requiring any technical modification of the airplane propulsion system. They fulfill similar chemical and physical requirements as conventional jet fuels and are certified with the same strict standards to be eligible to operate in regional and international passenger air transportation. At present, the maximum blending volume of cleaner jet fuels is 50% and significant experience has been acquired through experimental and commercial flights. With advancement of the sector, 100% cleaner jet fuels blends will be available in the future.
There are two types of certifications:
1) Technical certification, which ensures that the fuel complies with the required characteristics for use in current airplanes. Existing technical specifications for cleaner jet fuels are ASTM D-7566, the U.K. Defense Standard (DEF STAN) 91-091 Issue 9, the Brazilian ANP Resolution 63/207, and the Chinese CTSO-2C701.
2) Sustainability certification, which ensures that a given cleaner jet fuel complies with defined sustainability criteria. Some regulatory standards comprise of the US Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), California Low-Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) and Roundtable for Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) – more details within next response.
Cleaner fuels are obtained from sources other than directly from petroleum, such as biomass, waste materials and hydrogenated fats and oils that meet sustainability criteria. Those criteria include net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction on a life cycle basis and contribute to local social and economic development. Depending on the scope of passenger contribution the cleaner jet fuel source might vary, however, it shall be certified by Roundtable for Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) – one of the highest standards – meaning they comply with rigorous sustainability criteria and minimal or zero risk of indirect impacts – such as deforestation or increased food prices.
First of all, using cleaner jet fuels reduces emissions and with that the environmental impact when taking a flight. Second, it supports the development of other social benefits addressing issues such as human and labor rights, rural and social development, local food security, conservation of biodiversity, land rights as well as soil, water and air pollution. The exact details behind the 12 principles certified under the Roundtable for Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) have been approved by many stakeholders, including NGOs and UN agencies.
Yes, cleaner fuels are currently more expensive than conventional fuels. This has several reasons. First, oil is presently very inexpensive, which increases the price gap. Second, the value chain to produce cleaner fuels is relatively new, requiring logistics to further improve. Third, economies of scale have not yet applied to cleaner fuels at today's production stage. Depending on the current oil price cleaner jet fuels are approximately twice as expensive as conventional jet fuels. Use our emission flight calculator (available soon) to discover how much CO2 you emit on your trip and how much it would cost to reduce this amount by flying with cleaner jet fuels.
Cleaner fuels reduce CO2 emissions on a life cycle basis (i.e., from production to combustion) compared to conventional jet fuels. To allow for drop-in compatibility, cleaner jet fuels are intentionally designed to have properties similar to conventional aviation fuels, which means that they are still made of hydrocarbons. However, low life cycle CO2 emissions can be achieved by using biomass or waste feedstocks. In this case, the CO2 absorbed by plants during their growth stage is later emitted back into the atmosphere during combustion and will return to the plants in a closed loop. Another option would be the use of waste feedstock such as municipal solid waste or industrial waste gases. In this case, the mechanism for emissions savings is not the carbon capture through photosynthesis, but the multiple uses of fossil carbon. Cleaner fuels supported by Flightnook reduce emissions depending on the production procedure by 60-80% compared to conventional jet fuels. With advancement of the sector, even higher emission savings will be possible in the future.
Global warming means that the average global temperature rises, causing long term weather patterns to alter. It is one of the main causes of climate change. As people produce greenhouse gases, energy is trapped in the atmosphere and it leaves Earth even more slowly, raising its overall temperature.
The delay between cause and effect in climate change is estimated 40 years meaning that future generations will suffer the most from today's pollutions. Global warming leads to the melting of glaciers, extreme weather and droughts, seriously harming the wildlife.
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, water vapor and nitrous oxide, trap heat in the atmosphere. Without GHGs, an average temperature of 59°F (15°C) would drop to 0°F (-18°C). GHGs indeed help prevent temperatures from fluctuating extensively.
Although GHGs are crucial for the Earth to be habitable, a substantial increase will threaten our current ecosystem. The more greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere, the more heat stays in the atmosphere, increasing temperatures on Earth's surface. In the last decades, humans have caused the amount of GHGs to increase at an alarming rate and CO2 levels in the atmosphere have risen by approximately 45% since the beginning the 19th century, after having been stable for millions of years.
Sunrays are called solar radiations. While 26% of the solar radiations are mainly reflected by the clouds back into the space, 19% of them are absorbed by the greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere. The remaining 55% reaches the Earth and almost all of it is absorbed by its surface.
The solar radiations that have been absorbed by the Earth's surface are reflected back to space in form of infrared radiations. These infrared radiations are absorbed by the GHGs in form of heat and only a small portion escapes to space. The GHGs then send back infrared radiation to the earth's surface to be subsequently reflected back to the atmosphere. This cycle keeps repeating until no radiation is left for absorption.
Airplane engines produce contrails (white stripes in the sky) caused by soot particles. The soot particles cause ice crystals to build that form to cirrus clouds – also called contrail cirrus – resulting in a greater warming effect on earth's atmosphere. First studies show that cleaner jet fuel blends of 50% can reduce soot particle emissions of an airplane's engine by 50 to 70% leading to a reduction of ice particles and therefore global warming.
Both the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris agreement aim at reaching the same goal: restrict the global temperature rise below 3.6°F (2°C). However, they do not have the exact same approach in the way they push countries into taking action.
On one hand, the Kyoto Protocol only focuses on developed countries' emission levels and has set a fixed target for them to achieve. On the other hand, the Paris agreement made all nations, developed and developing, commit on their own domestic emission reduction targets. While the Kyoto Protocol follows more of a top-down approach by starting with the big picture, the Paris agreement follows a bottom-up approach by piecing things together in order to attain a bigger goal.
The commitment period to the Kyoto Protocol will come to an end in 2020 and from onwards, the Paris agreement on climate change will come into effect.
During the 2015 climate change
conference in Paris (COP21), participating countries agreed to reduce GHG emissions with the goal of keeping temperature increase below 3.6°F (2°C) by 2050, compared to pre-industrial levels. This will require the population to substantially reduce its GHG emissions, as we currently use the equivalent of 1.7 Earths to satisfy our resource demand.
To put it into another perspective, we can translate those required emissions savings to per capita required savings – reductions required by every living human to keep a maximal temperature increase of 3.6°F (2°C) by 2050 and beyond. An average person emits globally approximately 5 tons CO2eq (GHG emissions translated to a carbon dioxide equivalent value). However, this value differs significantly between people and their origin. For instance, emissions for a person from a well developed country like North America, Europe or Australia lie between 10 and 20 tons CO2eq. Countries that have intensive transportation usually position themselves at the higher end. To reach the 3.6°F (2°C) temperature goal by 2050, per capita emissions have to reduce to 5 tons CO2eq by 2030, to 2 tons CO2eq by 2050 and then further reduce to 0 tons CO2eq by 2070.
Reducing emissions is a long process that requires immediate action. No other human activity pushes individual emission levels as fast and as high as transportation and in particular air travel.

text: Hi, I recently damaged my PCB board on my Lite-on 16D4S, I damaged one of the connectors that is soldered to the board, and it's irreparable. Now I am seeking a new PCB, or a new drive entirely to replace my broken one with. I have bought a sputnik probe. All of the guides that I have seen, people are soldering old PCB's into new drives, and I need to essentially put a new PCB in an old drive, or just buy a new drive and flash it over. I just need to know what I need for this to work, such as the hardware, as well as what keys and such I need for my new drive to be compatible in my xbox 360. If you're feeling extra kind today, if you could link me to a tutorial on key extraction and implementation into the new drive, that would be great. Thank you all for your help in advance!

As a child, I was completely fascinated by the Second World War and read anything I could get my hands on to do with the subject! These are some of my favourites – it was so hard to narrow done my choices, so let me know if you want a part two!
Goodnight Mister Tom, Michelle Magorian
This is a classic and probably the first one that everyone will think of, but I had to mention it. The story of the evacuee William and his blossoming relationship with his host Tom is beautiful and poignant. I don't think I've ever cried more than reading the chapter when William returns home, before being rescued by Tom! Order here.
Back Home, Michelle Magorian
A lesser-known work of Magorian's that looks at the flip-side of evacuation: what happens when you return home? We see the return of Rusty to a post-war home, which feels oppressive and rigid when compared with her life a an evacuee. It is a fantastic imaging of life after the war, but is pretty meaty. Confident readers will flourish here! Order here.
The Machine Gunners, Robert Westall
Westall, like Magorian, is a pro at children's historical fiction, and this book is fantastic for reluctant readers (particularly boys)! A group of boys find a crashed bomber-plane in their hometown, and steal the fully-working machine gun for their fort. When they find and capture the German pilot, moral quandaries and discussions abound. Most suitable for top juniors because of sensitive topics. Order here.
Blitzcat, Robert Westall
This is such a fun and clever book! We see the highs and lows of life on the Home Front through the eyes of a cat in this novel. As the cat journeys through England, looking for her master we see the many different facets of the war from a widow to an army sergeant. Has a wide appeal; there are some details (the war widow has an affair!) that make it suitable for top juniors. Order here.
The Silver Sword, Ian Serraillier
Inspired by true events, but not based on a singular story, this novel looks three children's journey from Nazi-occupied Poland to safer shores. It takes a good look at the hardships faced by children on the Eastern Front, and has a fantastic afterword about the experiences of real children. It is easily enjoyed as an adventure tale by children who are studying WW2 or not. Order here.
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, John Boyne
Utterly heartbreaking. Boyne's novel shows the burgeoning friendship between the son on a Nazi Commandant and a Jewish boy in a concentration camp. Atrocities through the eyes of children really help your children to access the emotional poignancy of what happened. The ending is awful as our protagonist goes under the fence to play with his friend in 'pyjamas', but does bring the message home to children. Obviously only suitable for older children with sensitive handling of the Holocaust. Order here.
Rose Blanche, Roberto Innocenti and Ian McEwan
The only picture-book on this list, Rose Blanche is a poignant tale that provides a fantastic base for writing. Rose lives in a German town, and one day the Nazis show up the town begins to change. She sees the children who are hungry and ushered out by soldiers, and the reality of life in Nazi Germany is peppered through the illustrations. The ending is ambiguous and all the more heartbreaking for it. Order here.

Description and history
3PAR Inc., incorporated in May 2007, is a global provider of utility storage systems for mid-sized to large enterprises, financial services firms, cloud computing service providers, consumer-oriented Internet/Web 2.0 companies, and government entities. The Company helps organizations to build infrastructures that support the delivery of cloud-based services both internally, and at the scale required by service providers that make a business of selling such services to their external customers. The Company's enterprise-class storage systems feature a clustered design that supports comprehensive multi-tenancy and was developed to be self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-monitoring, self-healing and scalable.
The Company's utility storage systems feature an architected, clustered, integrated hardware platform that includes an operating system and a range of software applications. The Company's target customers are primarily organizations, for which serving information is mission-critical, including external service providers (such as managed service providers and hardware as a service/software as a service providers) and internal service bureaus (such as information technology (IT) organizations within enterprises and government agencies). As of March 31, 2010, the Company had sold over 1,600 utility storage systems to more than 600 mid-sized to large enterprises, financial services firms, cloud computing service providers, consumer-oriented Internet/Web 2.0 companies, and government entities worldwide.
InServ Storage Servers
The Company's 3PAR InServ Storage Servers help customers build a data storage infrastructure that can meet their changing business needs. Its InServ Storage Servers, which are also designed to support multi-tenancy, enable customers to consolidate data from multiple applications and user groups (with varying service level and performance requirements) onto a single storage array. By sharing the same tightly clustered, cache-coherent, load-balanced and modular architecture, all InServ Storage Servers are built to offer an agile tiered storage platform for resilient utility and cloud computing. All of its storage servers feature its 3PAR InSpire Architecture, which the Company has developed to deliver a storage array for open systems. Central to this design is a high-bandwidth, low-latency backplane that unifies components into a scalable and autonomically load-balanced cluster.
3PAR Inc. has designed the 3PAR InServ T-Class to address the needs of large enterprise and cloud computing storage infrastructures. All T-Class Storage Servers use the 3PAR InSpire Architecture featuring the Gen3 application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) with Thin Built In. This silicon-based thin technology is built into the system hardware to increase capacity utilization while maintaining service levels. The Company has designed the 3PAR InServ F-Class to address the technical limitations of traditional mid-range storage arrays by offering features and benefits typically exclusive to high-end arrays. Its F-Class Storage Servers incorporate the same technologies as its T-Class Storage Servers, but in a scaled-down, quad-controller capable system.
System Management Tools
The Company's 3PAR InForm Operating System and associated management tools incorporate automation of storage configuration, provisioning, and management across all of its InServ Storage Server models. The virtualization and automation capabilities built into its operating system are designed to deliver autonomic configuration, automated provisioning, ongoing self-optimization, and protection of data across a global IT environment. The Company designed the 3PAR InForm Operating System to simplify storage management through advanced virtualization and autonomic storage management capabilities, and by providing a unified operating system that works across all InServ product lines. As the foundation of its suite of server software, the InForm Operating System was developed to eliminate array planning, to provide application-tailored provisioning, and to deliver a storage infrastructure that is self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing and self-monitoring. The use of a single operating system across all lines of its storage servers is also intended to minimize training time related to storage management and to provide interoperability of management and remote replication software for data protection.
The InForm Operating System includes the Company's Persistent Cache, which was designed to ensure that always on application and virtual server environments are able to handle an unplanned controller failure. Persistent Cache was developed to eliminate the substantial performance penalties associated with traditional arrays and allows its systems to maintain required service levels even in the event of a cache or controller node failure.
Software Applications
3PAR Inc. provides its customers with a number of supplementary software applications, either bundled with the InForm Operating System or sold under perpetual license agreements that customers can buy either with or after the initial system purchase. The Company's Thin Provisioning software is designed to improve storage resource utilization by enabling customers to purchase capacity only as applications actually require it for written data. Its Thin Conversion software offers the ability to take a conventional storage volume, remove allocated but unused space, and create a capacity-efficient Thin Provisioning volume on any of its storage systems. Its Thin Persistence software uses its virtualization mapping engine to reclaim space from deleted volumes, thus increasing capacity utilization.
A built-in feature of the InForm Operating System, Rapid Provisioning was designed to eliminate array planning by delivering application-tailored provisioning. Rapid Provisioning manages storage provisioning intelligently and autonomically, and augments the massively parallel and granular distribution of data across internal system resources to assure service levels for various workload types. Autonomic Groups is an additional InForm Operating System feature that builds on the capabilities of Rapid Provisioning by eliminating manual repetition of commands, enabling customers to create host, volume, and domain groups to automate storage provisioning, monitoring and data protection.
The Company's Dynamic Optimization software was developed to give customers the ability to align application requirements with data quality of service (QoS) levels flexibly and on demand to achieve optimal data service levels across all stages of the disk-based data lifecycle. Its Policy Advisor software adds intelligent analysis and enhanced automation features to Dynamic Optimization by analyzing how volumes on an InServ Storage Server use physical disk space and automatically making intelligent, non-disruptive adjustments to ensure optimal volume performance and capacity utilization. The Company's Adaptive Optimization software is designed to optimize service levels for granular amounts of application data autonomically, on a large scale, by pairing that data with the resource capable of meeting its particular service level. The Company's Virtual Copy software is built on its thin copy technology and is designed to allow customers to protect and share data from any application without impact on performance. Its Remote Copy software is built on its thin copy technology and is designed to allow users to maintain data availability for business continuity by copying data from one InServ Storage Server to another in a remote location.
3PAR Inc.'s Virtual Domains software is designed to provide secure administrative separation of users and hosts within shared, virtualized environments. Like virtual private network software, Virtual Domains can deliver thousands of secure virtual private arrays within a single InServ Storage Server. Its Virtual Lock software is designed to enable the retention of storage volumes for data governance and electronic discovery purposes. The Company's Plug-In for VMware vCenter was developed to give VMware vSphere administrators enhanced visibility into storage resources and insight into how individual virtual machines are mapped to data stores and storage volumes. Its Host Explorer software is designed to automate host discovery and collection of detailed host configuration information in order to speed provisioning and simplify maintenance. The Company's System Reporter software is designed to provide a Web-based performance and capacity management tool that aggregates historical system data for one or more InServ Storage Server. Its System Tuner software was developed to ensure optimal volume performance even as customers scale their systems and bring new applications online by autonomically detecting and eliminating hotspots and bottlenecks without disrupting applications, impacting service levels, or changing underlying volume characteristics.
The Company competes with EMC Corporation, Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, IBM, Hewlett-Packard Company, NetApp Inc., Oracle Corporation and Dell Inc.

BattleSport seems like a missed opportunity. While the concept and design aren't exactly earth-shattering, they do lay the groundwork for an exciting game with outstanding replay value. As in so many video game to PC translations, the developers seem to have made little to no effort to harness the PC's capabilities. As a result, what could have been a fast-paced and addictive action title runs out of steam after just a few hours.
And that's too bad, because BattleSport (originally crafted for the PlayStation and Saturn) serves up an appealing mix of strategy, tactics, and down-and-dirty action. The basic idea is straightforward enough: Controlling a hovercraft (the game calls them "tanks") in arenas of various sizes and layouts, you and a single opponent try to grab a constantly moving ball and fire it into a goal. Exhibition matches against one of ten computer opponents provide a quick dose of action; in the tournament mode you must battle your way to the top of the BattleSport ladder, using cash winnings to outfit your current tank or buy a new one.
Sounds derivative and even a little boring, but a slew of creative design elements give BattleSport a surprising amount of depth of play. Each of the 50 arenas is unique in both layout and the types of obstacles and power-ups it contains - computer-controlled guns, teleporters, walls, and ramps mean that there's almost never a direct path to the goal. Then there's the goal itself: It can have one, two, or four sides; spin or remain facing in a single direction; move around the arena; blink out and reappear somewhere else. To complicate things even further, making a shot from a distance earns two or even three points instead of just one.
And remember those tanks? Besides being able to grab and shoot the ball, they're also armed and armored - missile hits can cause fumbles, and destroying your opponent's tank is a viable defensive tactic. There are over 25 add-on components available, ranging from the usual upgrades in lasers and missiles to more exotic devices that blind your enemy, block the goal, attract the ball to your tank, or even add an extra period to the game if you're on the verge of defeat. The only drawback here is that you're only allowed to carry three add-ons into a match - and in tourney mode you have no way of knowing if the stuff you're about to tack on to your tank might already be lying around in the arena.
What all this adds up to is some pretty intense action that will have you ready for one match after another - up to a point. The problem is that after just a couple of hours of practice, even average players will find they can easily handle any of the five opponents available for exhibition matches. You'll run into much stiffer competition in the tournament, but the bottom line is that you'll either win the tournament and have no desire to play it again or run into someone you just can't get past and quit out of frustration. Either way, most gamers will have had their fill of the single-player mode after ten hours or less.
This should be no big deal since there's a two-player mode, but it's saddled with several problems. First, the only way to go head-to-head is via a split-screen at the same computer: There's no support for play over a modem, network, direct connection, or the Internet. Even if you cotton to split-screen play, you'll run into another problem: Only one player can use a joystick or gamepad. Considering the game supports the Gravis GrIP, this is practically inexcusable - a situation made even worse because there's no way to reconfigure the keyboard commands to your liking.
Unless you have a programmable gamepad or joystick, there's no way to reconfigure button commands, either. That might not sound like a big deal, but once you get in the arena you'll discover that cycling through the three special weapons is almost impossible. With a standard four-button gamepad you have to press two buttons at once for weapon cycling (you also have to press two buttons at once to activate the special weapon you've selected); I was never able to pull it off with a Gravis Gamepad. The task is easier for Gravis GrIP users because weapon cycling is handled with the X button; unfortunately, the only way to jump with the GrIP is to press the left and right paddles simultaneously, and with the missile and shoot buttons side by side (B and C), it's all too easy to shoot the ball when you really want to fire a missile. All these problems could have been solved with a simple joystick/gamepad configuration option, but it's just not there.
Even with all these problems (and without even mentioning mention the blocky VGA graphics), BattleSport will provide more fun than you might expect, but you'll wish the fun would last a little longer.

Chapter 614 – The Eternal Demon Abyss Erupts
"Sir Evil God, these Blood Demon Crystals are for you." An impeccably beautiful Fey girl was kneeling in front of Lin Ming, offering up a tray with her hands. A jade box rested on the tray, and within the jade box was the small amount of top-grade Blood Demon Crystals that a High Lord would receive every two months.
Two months had passed in the blink of an eye since Lin Ming became a High Lord.
After he faked having the slave seal planted in his body, his days at Skysplit Tower had become peaceful; there were no more High Lords plotting against him again. Lin Ming had become a true and recognized High Lord of Skysplit Tower. Now, wherever he moved in the fourth floor, every servant would have to bow or kneel to him as he passed.
"I understand. You may leave now," Lin Ming calmly said, leaving behind the jade box.
"Yes." The young Fey girl bowed as she excused herself. Within Skysplit Tower, every High Lord had ten such exceedingly beautiful, top quality Fey girls under their command, rigorously serving them. If the High Lords wanted, they could freely use these girls in any manner they wished.
"Your cultivation has consolidated a great deal these last two months, hehe." Demonshine jauntily laughed from within Lin Ming's spiritual sea.
"Indeed. Although I can't enter the Road of Emperor, it's quite good to be able to enjoy the other resources of Skysplit Tower's fourth floor."
Lin Ming had used these past two months to completely solidify his cultivation. Within the King's Cage, he had broken through his limits multiple times, but his cultivation wasn't steady due to this, and he needed stability in order to slowly consolidate it.
Lin Ming declared, "At most I'll wait for another half year. If there isn't a chance for me, then I will look for my own chance to enter the Road of Emperor!"
"Lin Ming, if you enter the Road of Emperor then High Lord Limitless Demon will know that something happened to the slave seal in your spiritual sea."
"It doesn't matter whether he knows or not," Lin Ming casually said. "I've already investigated the matter clearly the last two years. The Road of Emperor and King's Cage are similar in that they are both self-contained worlds. As long as I can enter the Road of Emperor, it doesn't matter what High Lord Limitless Demon discovers. If he wants to deal with me then his only choice is to wait for me to come out. But at that time I may possibly be his match!"
"You're right, but at that time, High Lord Limitless Demon might look for someone to help deal with you. Or he might set up a killing array to wait for you outside. You shouldn't take such a drastic approach until you're forced to."
As Demonshine finished speaking, the ground suddenly and violently shook. Within Lin Ming's practice area, the stone bed, furniture, everything began to tremble. Lin Ming was dumbfounded, just what was going on!?!?
Skysplit Tower was a relic left behind by some mysterious force from the ancient times. It contained its own array formations and was extremely firm. When Lin Ming killed High Lord Heian, the profound gold arena stage had been destroyed, but there wasn't even the tiniest bit of damage to the actual third floor infrastructure. Thus, one can see just how solid and stable Skysplit Tower really was.
Such a sturdy Skysplit Tower could actually shake?
The shaking continued, and it was even becoming more and more violent. Lin Ming was amazed. Just what was going on?
Lin Ming left the practice area and discovered that the corridors, halls, roads, distant temples and buildings—everything was shaking. The entire Skysplit Tower was swaying!
Just what was this?
It wasn't just Lin Ming but also Skysplit Tower's servants who were panicking. Skysplit Tower seemed ready to collapse at any moment due to these vibrations. It was at a height of tens of thousands of feet!
Lin Ming wasn't sure what was happening when he just happened to see High Lord Bloodfire pass by. "Brother Bloodfire, what is going on?"
High Lord Bloodfire actually had a joyous expression plastered on his face at this time. "Brother Lin, I never thought that our lucky chance would arrive so soon. The shaking of Skysplit Tower should be because… the Eternal Demon Abyss has erupted!"
"The Eternal Demon Abyss erupted?"
Lin Ming paused. In a jade slip that had been left behind after High Lord Heian's death, it had recorded such eruptions of the Eternal Demon Abyss. Every several decades or even centuries, the Eternal Demon Abyss would have a large-scale eruption just like a volcano.
Then, a massive amount of infernal energy would gush out. Simultaneously, some Demon God Bones would be thrust out of the Eternal Demon Abyss with this massive amount of infernal energy.
For millennia upon millennia, the reason that people could find Demon God Bones at the very outer edges of the Eternal Demon Abyss was all thanks to these natural eruptions.
After every eruption, those martial artists that braved the Eternal Demon Abyss would have great harvests, but correspondingly, would suffer higher risks as well. After the Eternal Demon Abyss erupted, the violent surges of energy would overflow and form various danger hotspots and death zones, causing people to die when they wandered into these places.
Lin Ming also remembered that in that jade slip, it stated that in the last millennium, 170 High Lords had fallen victim to the Eternal Demon Abyss. Of these High Lords, half of them perished because they explored the Eternal Demon Abyss right after these eruptions.
"Brother Lin, the eruption of the Eternal Demon Abyss can last for several months or even a year. During this time period, anyone who enters will die. But after the eruption ends, the Eternal Demon Abyss will enter a stable period. When that happens, we can enter the Eternal Demon Abyss together and seek lucky chances for Sir Chief High Lord as well as ourselves. For these following days, you should prepare for this!" High Lord Bloodfire excitedly said.
"Seek lucky chances for the Chief High Lord?" Lin Ming looked at High Lord Bloodfire with pity in his eyes. To risk his own life to look for lucky chances for others, and also to do it with such joy in his eyes, in a manner that he couldn't wait to go, was truly the horrifying nature of the slave seal. With the slave seal planted within you, it would be better to die!
At this moment, two sound transmitting talismans appeared in front of High Lord Bloodflame as well as Lin Ming. The contents of the messages were similar; it was about the matter of the Eternal Demon Abyss eruption, as well as telling the two to prepare for this, increasing their strength as much as possible in order to enter the Eternal Demon Abyss.
But at the end of this sound transmission, there was some news that overjoyed Lin Ming. This was because Lin Ming was allowed to enter the Road of Emperor to increase his strength, so that he could better prepare for this journey into the Eternal Demon Abyss.
"Road of Emperor!"
Lin Ming took a deep breath.
His wait was finally over!
Life was full of twists and turns. Because of the eruption of the Eternal Demon Abyss, he finally had the chance to gain entry to the Road of Emperor!
As long as he could enter the Road of Emperor, even if he couldn't break through to the Revolving Core realm, Lin Ming believed he wouldn't need to fear High Lord Limitless Demon anymore!
"Haha, Brother Lin, congratulations! As long as you are loyal to Sir Chief High Lord, he will not treat you unjustly. Do you want to prepare a bit or would you like me to bring you there now?" High Lord Bloodfire had also received similar news.
"No need, let's go now," Lin Ming calmly said as he tamped down the rising elation in his heart. He had food and drinking water in his spatial ring so he didn't need to make special preparations.
"Good! Let's go then!"
High Lord Bloodfire led the way. The Road of Emperor was located in the center of the third floor. After journeying down several roads and corridors, they finally came to a temple. This temple was built entirely out of obsidian, and when stepping into it, it seemed as if it was a completely separate dimension.
Within this temple, there were all sorts of ferocious and savage looking demon statues. Without exception, all of these statues were twelve-winged Heavenly Demons.
And a massive blood red altar was surrounded by these statues. This altar constantly emanated a rich infernal energy, as if it were completely carved from Blood Demon Crystals.
"The entrance to the Road of Emperor is above that altar. Step onto the altar and sprinkle your blood onto it, after which you will be able to enter the Road of Emperor. Brother Lin, I wish you good luck."Previous Chapter Next Chapter

with the light microscope. Figure 1-11 illustrates the structural hierarchy in cellular organization.
The monomeric subunits in proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides are joined by covalent bonds. In supramolecular complexes, however, macromolecules are held together by noncovalent interactions—much weaker, individually, than covalent bonds. Among these noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds (between polar groups), ionic interactions (between charged groups), hydrophobic interactions (among nonpolar groups in aqueous solution), and van der Waals interactions—all of which have energies substantially smaller than those of covalent bonds (Table 1-1). The nature of these noncovalent interactions is described in Chapter 2. The large numbers of weak interactions between macromolecules in supramolecular complexes stabilize these assemblies, producing their unique structures.
In Vitro Studies May Overlook Important Interactions among Molecules
One approach to understanding a biological process is to study purified molecules in vitro ("in glass"—in the test tube), without interference from other molecules present in the intact cell—that is, in vivo ("in the living"). Although this approach has been remarkably revealing, we must keep in mind that the inside of a cell is quite different from the inside of a test tube. The "interfering" components eliminated by purification may be critical to the biological function or regulation of the molecule purified. For example, in vitro studies of pure mosomes consist of macromolecules of DNA and many different proteins. Each type of macromolecule is made up of simple subunits— DNA of nucleotides (deoxyribonucleotides), for example.
enzymes are commonly done at very low enzyme concentrations in thoroughly stirred aqueous solutions. In the cell, an enzyme is dissolved or suspended in a gellike cytosol with thousands of other proteins, some of which bind to that enzyme and influence its activity.

Beefy Beets
This slow cooker dish really took me by surprise. I knew it would be good, but I wasn't expecting to be jumping up and down with glee. It was inspired by "Beef Roast with Beets and Tarragon" from The Paleo Slow Cooker by Arsy Vartanian. I bought my chuck roast from Bluescreek Farm Meats, which played a huge part in the meal's magnificence. I can't recommend Bluescreek enough. This was my first time cooking with fresh tarragon, which (of course) is now my new favorite herb.
Beefy Beets
1 medium white onion, diced in mini food processor
3 tablespoons ghee (or organic unsalted butter)
3-4 lb chuck roast
6 large beets, trimmed, scrubbed and peeled
5-7 sprigs fresh tarragon
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup natural beef stock
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
In a large preheated stockpot over medium heat, sauté the onions in the butter for 2 minutes and transfer to a slow cooker with a slotted spoon. Increase the heat to medium-high and brown the meat on all sides (about 4 minutes per side). Place the meat in a slow cooker with the remaining ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Season with sea salt and pepper before serving.

fantastic afternoon at the Savoy. Lunch was superb as was the service
I have just experienced a truly amazing Sunday afternoon lunch at the savoy hotel in London. My son bought it as a gift for my husband and I for Christmas. I was blown away at how attentive all the staff were and we were made to feel like royalty. The food from start to finish was outstanding and I had never eaten such tender beef before it melted on your tongue. I will definitely return as although we were gifted this experience it was reasonably priced and for a first class lunch.
The food was incredible, the service was even better, we were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived!
Best roast beef I've ever had. Definitely recommend.
Superb food and first class service
Really enjoyed the experience, food was lovely but only did roast beef it would have been nice to choose another roast dish.

If you mail the file to yourself, are you able to view the attachment on your iPad/iPhone in the Mail app? If not, OmniFocus won't be able to display it, either.
Having established that iOS can display the file, the next thing to check would be that you've successfully embedded the file in your database. On the Mac, use the Window->Attachment List command to bring up a window showing all of the attachments embedded in your database. If it isn't there, it won't be synced to any other client.
If you can read the file in iOS, and you've successfully embedded it in your database, the next thing to check is that you've completed a sync on both the Mac (to put the embedded file in the sync repository) and then on the iOS device (to retrieve it from the sync repository). An easy way to make sure that all the necessary syncing has happened is to put a marker action in your Inbox on the Mac, then sync everything. When the marker action shows up in your Inbox on the iOS device, you know that all transactions prior to adding that marker action have also been synced.

NEW ORLEANS – "I do know the place I stay," mentioned Keith Daggett.
Daggett's residence sits by the London Avenue Canal. The floodwall alongside the canal breached throughout Hurricane Katrina greater than 13 years in the past. An out of doors exhibition now stands on the web site of the devastation, marking the flooding brought on by the failures of the canal.
"Sure, there's a flood danger right here," mentioned Daggett, who not too long ago moved to the neighborhood.
Tulane College environmental sciences professor Alex Kolker reiterated that the way forward for the realm seems to be dire.
"The neighborhood lies eight to 10 toes beneath the canal, and that's an unlimited flood danger," mentioned Kolker.
Hydrogeologists mentioned the town sinks 6 to eight mm a 12 months. A big a part of the town is already beneath sea stage, and the Gentilly neighborhood, the place Daggett lives, is likely one of the quickest sinking areas.
Kolker is a part of a workforce of researchers, which incorporates Dutch-based analysis institute Deltares and the Water Institute of the Gulf, making an attempt to determine which sections of the town are sinking, how briskly, and why. They are saying subsidence was one cause why Katrina was catastrophic. Water flooded the low-lying areas and needed to be pumped out.
"After having skilled the broken metropolis in 2006 and dealing there all these years after, New Orleans turned a part of me. This mission helps to gather the lacking data wanted to take acceptable measures to make sure the [city] is a protected place sooner or later in relation to sea stage rise and altering local weather dynamics," mentioned Roelof Stuurman, a water specialist at Deltares.
Town-led mission referred to as "Reshaping the City Delta" is being funded by a $141.three million grant from the Division of Housing and City Improvement. It largely focuses on the town's subsurface.
As the primary complete resilience district within the Gentilly neighborhood, the town mentioned, the mission contains over $90 Million in city water administration initiatives that largely give attention to the town's subsurface.
"We can not handle what we don't perceive; so step one is to floor fact the assumptions we've constructed from previous research and construct upon the most effective accessible science," mentioned Tyler Antrup, city water program supervisor from the town's Workplace of Resilience and Sustainability.
Specialists theorize the underlying geology may very well be one cause for the sinking, often known as subsidence.
"There's an entire bunch of previous swamps beneath the town of New Orleans and when these swamps dry out the bottom they take compact and compress and the bottom above them sinks," mentioned Kolker.
Cracked pipes might additionally play an element.
"Water and dust can move into them and erode the bottom round them. And then you definately'd create a gap, and that gap is nearly a sinkhole," added Kolker.
Stuurman believes managing the best way water flows in and across the metropolis might mitigate the speed of subsidence. Final week, Deltares led a bunch on a number of soil drilling operations across the metropolis taking sediment samples, step one of this research.
"The target was to find out the 'imply lowest groundwater stage' and the quantity of natural materials within the soil and clay saturation as a result of these decide the subsidence danger," mentioned Stuurman.
New Orleans is just not alone on this ordeal. Tokyo and even components of the Houston-Galveston space have sunk as properly, notably in the midst of the 20th century.
"There, they did take a whole lot of effort to higher monitor the speed at which they pulled out floor water. And, that did assist gradual the subsidence in (the Houston-Galveston space)," mentioned Kolker.
Researchers mentioned there's an added sense of urgency as storms, particularly within the Gulf Coast area, are anticipated to develop into stronger, due to local weather change.
"New Orleans is likely one of the most weak cities in the US [due] to the impacts of local weather change and sea stage rise. As we see extra frequent and intense rainfall occasions, we now have to adapt by residing with water, lowering the subsidence of our soils, and preserving the standard of life and tradition of our Metropolis," mentioned Antrup.
Your complete research will take about 18 months, culminating with the design and set up of an built-in water monitoring community.
"Understanding that they're at the very least addressing the issue, to no matter diploma," Daggett mentioned, "does give me some consolation."

OVERVIEW: Motivational interviewing is a therapeutic communication technique used to help consumers internalize their motivation to change. This technique was originally developed to help individuals with substance use disorders. Recent evidence suggests this tool can be used with diverse populations to increase motivation towards behavioral change. A foundational tenant of motivational interviewing is that all clients are the experts on themselves and have the ability within themselves to change. Therefore, the role of recreational therapists is to elicit internal motivation for change, help identify personal and sustainable resources and strategies that promote lasting change. In this session, we will provide an overview of the purpose and benefits of motivational interviewing, as well as specific strategies recreational therapists can use to help individuals with psychiatric disabilities identify personally meaningful recreation goals and work towards lifelong engagement within the community.

OVERVIEW: Self-direction is a key skill for adults to achieve experiences that are meaningful and satisfying and that translate into quality of life (QOL) and quality of leisure (QOL2). Many skills are needed to transcend from a passive life, an apathetic life, or a "distracted" life to experiences that are volitional, meaningful, and mindful. Recognize the knowledge base and skill set needed to assist others with self-direction, increased motivation, and increased initiative. Learn the terminology and foundational knowledge that justifies "motivation" and "initiative" as firmly within the Recreation Therapist's purview.

OVERVIEW: Active transportation can be defined as human-powered transportation. This might include walking, using a wheelchair, cycling or skateboarding. Even using public transportation is considered active transportation due to the increased physical activity in comparison to using one's own vehicle. Research shows that active transportation is associated with holistic wellness benefits. It can also allow for greater commuting independence for those with limited financial resources. These are of direct concern among the population of people with psychiatric disabilities. Therefore, the role of the Recreation Therapist may include transportation education and encouraging participation in commuting preferences. This lies within our scope of practice because many forms of active transportation can be, in themselves, leisure experiences associated with health benefits. In this session, we will discuss the benefits of active transportation. We will also facilitate a conversation about the potential barriers that consumers may experience and identify strategies that can be used to support consumers' goals to increase active transportation.

Hemos estado estupendamente en la villa. Recomendable si te quieres alejar del turismo de masas del sur. Nazareth es un lugar muy tranquilo, con buen tiempo y noches más frescas que en el sur. Las vistas desde la casa son absolutamente espectaculares.
From begoña, who stayed in Casa Luca on August 5, 2018
Sol Y Mar was recommended to us some years ago but we'd never stayed there until this year. We had stayed in about 8 other villas over the years and expected Sol Y Mar to be similar. How wrong we were. From opening the door it was very homely. |When we saw the view we were sold! We had a very restful holiday and yet had everything there we could want. We booked our next holiday before we left…. I can't see us ever going to another villa now.
From Mal Beckly, who stayed in Villa Sol y Mar on September 17, 2018
We left in good time for Manchester airport. All was well until M56. Absolute car park all the way to Manchester ! Sat nav took us to the wrong car park ! We were now panicking. Got into security which must have been at least 150 metres long. We were now desperate. Got to the gate as it was closing ! Very stressed ! Got out at Arrecife airport. Car was waiting for us . [Sorted by Amanda]. Got to Albarino . Clear roads and sunshine. Found bowl of fruit , fridge full of beer , wine , champers, cheese ham etc. Jumped into the enormous heated pool . What a villa to turn up to after a day like that. Albarino is 5 stars all the way. We can`t fault the place or the company. Aim to take the family next year.
From Ken and Carol King, who stayed in Casa Albariño on November 5, 2018
Beautifully appointed villa – perfect home from home. We will definitely return, thank you to all at LVD
From The Burnley family, who stayed in Casa Luca on October 1, 2018
We have had a lovely relaxing weekand enjoyed spending time by the pool. sunsets have been amazing. First time to Casa Luca and hopefully not the last. An unexpected bonus was sky sports so we could watch the rugby with a wonderful view too!
From Peter and Jane Brown, who stayed in Casa Luca on October 27, 2018
fantastic villa, had a great time. fantastic views and very chilled
From Greg, Mel and Lucy Swallow, who stayed in Casa Galles on July 17, 2018
we had a wonderful time in this fantastic villa. Special thanks to Amanda, Sarah and Lee for their helpful hospitality.
From Ulrike Busch, who stayed in Casa Galles on July 31, 2018
An absolutely stunning villa!!! Thank you for everything including our extended stay and all the help with it.
From Katie and Jay Taylor, who stayed in Casa Galles on August 21, 2018
We would like to express our sincere thanks for the wonderful presentation of the villa. Attention to detail is outstanding and we have enjoyed a very relaxing week. Would like to return again at some point.
From Hayden and Janet Evans, who stayed in Casa Albariño on May 5, 2018
Casita Amanacer is a little gem, a home from home wonderfully situated in a quiet hillside location in sleepy Tabayesco, a short distance from Arrieta. It is a perfect place for relaxation and unwinding, not the place to go if you are looking for resort-style nightlife! We had a lovely holiday here, it is a great base for seeing the north of the island. There are local countryside walks in the valley and surrounding hills direct from your door. Cyclists will find great roads with challenging climbs aplenty.
There is a selection of restaurants in Arrieta for when you decide to eat out and we also made use of the barbeque provided at the casita.
Many thanks to Jan and her family, who are really friendly and welcoming. We had a memorable time, we will be back!
From Teresa & Jim, who stayed in Casita Amanecer on February 1, 2019
Casa Galles was welcoming and very nicely presented. The kitchen is well kitted out and everywhere clean and sparkling. The welcome pack carried us through till we did a shop the day after our arrival. Satisfyingly there are enough coat-hangers in the wardrobes, which is a blessing. The swimming pool is very clean and its nice to be able to step down into it and for the time of year very pleasant to use, with lovely big pool towels and comfortable sun beds to relax on. Amanda came to check all was well the day after we arrived and was very helpful. It's a lovely situation if you want quietness, which we did, and it's close enough to visit the little towns and villages nearby. Very much recommend the submarine trip and we did the northern tour mentioned in Amanda's guide. All in all we had a very nice holiday on Lanzarote. Of course having the lovely sunshine helped.
From Anne and Peter, who stayed in Casa Galles on February 7, 2019
The photos really do not do this bungalow justice. Jan and Jayne warmly welcomed us and were always on hand if we needed anything, but were not intrusive. The bungalow is very well appointed, clean and comfortable. The shower was excellent. It was a real home from home. The welcome pack was very comprehensive. The location is really peaceful, away from mass tourism and has stunning views over the valley to the sea, but it is only a 15 to 30-minute walk (depending on direction) or 5 minute drive to the town. The town has a couple of supermarkets and selection of restaurants. We loved it so much we are already planning our return trip.
From Eric & Sue, who stayed in Casita Amanecer on March 4, 2019
This is my second time at Shibui and from the moment we arrived we were welcomed. Equally, we were informed and left undisturbed to enjoy the villa for two weeks.
Shibui has a great pool for the villa size, incredible views and a very private space. Considering It's location in Oasis de Nazareth which is perfect for amenities and restaurants. You step out the villa door and everything is a walk, or a short drive but when you are in the villa you get a great sense of serenity and seclusion.
It has everything that you would want for four people. It's WiFi is excellent, film selection and the cds aren't half bad either. Not that you would need too much of this as you are in Lanzarote. Enjoyed it and recommend it highly. Sad to leave.
Thanks to Amanda and Kate and we will see you again for sure…
From Glenn, who stayed in Villa Shibui on May 6, 2019
We had a lovely relaxing stay in villa shibui, the ownersi have gone to Great lengths to consider your needs to make this a home from home holiday.
Private gardens with stunning views very quiet area great for people who just want a relaxing holiday.
I would recommend hiring a car to get out and about Costa Teguise only being a 10-minute drive away and Teguise market only 3 minutes drive with ample parking areas at a cost of €1.80,
I would highly recommend this Villa.
Big thanks to Richard and Jacqui
From Brandon W, who stayed in Villa Shibui on July 6, 2019
We stayed at this villa June/July for a week and had a fantastic break. We got in touch prior to booking and they answered any questions we had and provided lots of useful information for guests who would look to stay in the property about the property itself, the surrounding area and the Island, nothing seemed too much trouble. The villa is very well equipped and has everything you need for a self catering stay. The gas barbecue is fantastic meaning alfresco meals are just minutes away day or night. The bedrooms are air conditioned and were very comfortable. Outside the pool area is private and the heated pool an added bonus so no excuses for not taking a dip. The villa is located in a quiet area and our days spent outside around the pool were very peaceful and relaxing. The local mini market is a 10 minute walk and we found most items there with the exception of meats for the barbecue. There is a slightly larger shop around 30-35 minutes walk, which has a small meat counter. We did not hire a car and made several trips into Teguise, which is a 30 minute walk from the villa. There are a few bars and restaurants there. The walk itself has some relatively steep sections on road and may be a struggle for some however we enjoyed it, particularly on the way in with a pizza and beer waiting at the other end at one of the local restaurants. If you want to explore further or go to one of the larger supermarkets or are just not able to walk that far then a car rental would be recommended and again the owners will provide info on this if requested.
Overall a lovely location, a great property and fantastic owners.
From Dave M, who stayed in Villa Shibui on June 4, 2019
We absolutely loved our stay in this villa.
The garden area is lovely and secluded with a nice pool and beautiful views.
Great location.
