Across the developing world labor-saving technologies introduce considerable savings in the time and energy that women allocate to work. Hormonal studies on natural fertility populations indicate that such a reduction in energetic expenditure (rather than improved nutritional status alone) can lead to increased ovarian function. Other qualitative studies have highlighted a link between labor-saving technology and behavioral changes affecting subsequent age at marriage, which may affect fertility. This biodemographic study was designed to investigate whether these physiological and behavioral changes affect fertility at a population level by focusing on a recent water development scheme in Southern Ethiopia. The demographic consequences of a reduction in women's workload following the installation of water points, specifically the variation in length of first birth interval (time lapsed between marriage and first birth), are investigated. birth interval length is closely associated with lifetime fertility in populations that do not practice contraception, longer intervals being associated with lower fertility. Using life tables and multivariate hazard modeling techniques a number of significant predictors of first birth interval length are identified. Covariates such as age at marriage, season of marriage, village ecology, and access to improved water supply have significant effects on variation in first birth intervals. When entered into models as a time-varying covariate, access to a water tap stand is associated with an immediate reduction in length of first birth intervals. Labor-

LONDON (Reuters) - Rising American talent Taylor Townsend and former world number two Vera Zvonareva have been handed wildcards into the women's draw at Wimbledon, officials said on Friday.
Eighteen-year-old Townsend has been rewarded for an encouraging run to the third round of the French Open on her grand slam debut last month. Since the start of the year she has climbed more than 150 places in the rankings to 150th.
Russian Zvonareva reached the finals at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 2010 but since then she has been plagued by illness and injury, forcing her out of the tour for 18 months.
Now ranked 559th, the 29-year-old made her comeback earlier this year but was knocked out in the first round of the Australian Open.
Wimbledon starts on June 23.

Mark Ruffalo Raising Money with eBay to Fight for Clean Water
UPDATED: "The Avengers" actor talks to THR about his ongoing crusade fighting the controversial fossil fuel extraction method known as fracking.
Actor Mark Ruffalo is working with eBay to raise funds for his foundation, Water Defense, which is fighting the controversial hydraulic fracturing method, commonly known as fracking, which extracts gas from shale using chemical fluids injected into the ground. Fracking critics have long contended that the chemicals can contaminate drinking water. (On Dec. 8, the Environmental Protection Agency released a draft report saying that the drilling method is likely polluting water supplies in central Wyoming.)
Water Defense is featured on the auction site's new eBay Celebrity portal, which is part of a growing online trend of connecting fans directly with celebrities whose causes they support. (Other sites include Crowdrise, co-founded by actor Edward Norton, and the Hollywood Pledge.)

Water Defense's eBay page includes a spot where fans can click to contribute to the group via PayPal and the chance to bid on two tickets to the premiere of The Avengers in 2012 and a meet-and-greet with the actor. The auction went live today. "I want to meet anyone who's willing to put their money where their mouth is and help another fellow human being with something as precious as being able to turn on their tap and drink the water," says Ruffalo, who says he's never auctioned himself off before. "I've been saving it for something that I thought was worthy."
The commercial hook? Ruffalo lists some of the things he likes to shop for – antiques, snowboarding equipment, solar equipment, old motorcycle parts, gardening tools -- which takes shoppers into eBay's relevant category areas. "We know that when consumers are shopping they are more inclined to give," says eBay communications manager Amanda Miller. Other stars who have taken part in the program include Brad Pitt (raising money for the Make it Right Foundation, which builds sustainable housing for families displaced by Hurricane Katrina), Colin Firth (Oxfam America) and Tony Bennett (who is selling his drawing of Lady Gaga to help public school art education funder Exploring the Arts).
Before launching eBay Celebrity on Nov. 7, the site hosted a series of one-off auctions during past years through its Giving Works program, selling a lunch with Warren Buffet for $2.63 million earlier this year (benefiting the Glide Foundation, which offers such things as healthcare and job training to the poor and homeless), raising about $5 million for the Michael J. Fox's Foundation for Parkinson's Research, and even selling locks of Justin Bieber's hair for $40,668 to support animal sanctuary The Gentle Barn. While they raise money for charity, auctions like Biebe''s do support eBay's bottom line. "When we promoted that, we saw a 107 percent increase in consumer searches on eBay related to Justin Bieber-related merchandise and a 36 percent increase in sales related to him," says Miller. Over the years, says Miller, "We've raised nearly $300 million in total." 100 percent of proceeds go to the charities.
Ruffalo's auction runs through Dec. 22. The actor recently travelled to Dimock, Pennsylvania to deliver fresh water to families there who contend their wells are pollutled with heavy methane due to fracking. "Sadly, it's the ground zero for gas drilling and well contamination. You never think you'll hear the day when Americans can't drink the water that comes out of their taps and here it is, it's happening," says Ruffalo. In November, Cabot Oil & Gas Corp., which claims drinking water in Dimock is safe, won permission from state regulators to stop making daily deliveries of fresh water to the families.
PHOTOS: 'The Avengers' Poster Art
In addition to the release of The Avengers in 2012, Ruffalo will be shooting the Summit Entertainment bank-heist film Now You See Me beginning in January; the movie also stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and Morgan Freeman. Two other movies are on the way: Red Light Winter, a movie about two friends (Ruffalo and Billy Crudup) who get involved with a prostitute (Kirsten Dunst) in Amsterdam. "We are still trying to work out the dates," says Ruffalo. "I have another film it looks like I'll be doing for Ryan Murphy called The Normal Heart based on the Larry Kramer play."
"I'm sort of heading back to work. I took a couple years off to be with my family and to do this kind of activist work. Now it's time to go and make a paycheck and support my activism."

I am a primatologist studying recently rediscovered populations of macaques (Macaca fascicularis) on islands in southern Thailand that use stone tools to exploit shellfish in intertidal environments. This behavioral idiosyncrasy raises the possibility of a new monkey model system for testing numerous hypotheses in paleoanthropology, particularly those related to the adaptive advantages of stone tool use and adaptive significance of coastal habitats during human evolution. As a postdoc, I aim to integrate behavioral fieldwork with stable isotope analyses to discern the potential nutritional advantages of tool-mediated shellfish consumption.

Findings of a new report into poverty and social exclusion make grim reading of the extent of deprivation and financial difficulties faced by people in the UK.
The Poverty and Social Exclusion (PSE) Project published its first report The Impoverishment of the UK, produced in collaboration with The Open University (OU) and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and is one of the largest and most authoritative studies of poverty and deprivation ever conducted in the UK.
The first results from this study will be broadcast on ITV at 7.30pm this evening in a special Tonight programme called Breadline Britain.
Some of the findings are:
• Over 30 million people (almost half the population) are suffering some degree of financial insecurity.
The PSE approach – now adopted by the UK Government and by a growing number of rich and developing countries - identifies people falling below a publicly-determined minimum standard of living. This method of measuring poverty was pioneered in 1983 and repeated in studies in 1990, 1999, 2002/03 and 2012. The project thus provides detailed, robust and definitive trends over 30 years.
Joanna said: "Levels of deprivation today are worse in a number of vital areas – from basic housing to key social activities - than at any point in the past thirty years. These trends are a deeply shocking indictment of 30 years of economic and social policy and reflect a rapid growth in inequality. This has meant that, though the economy has doubled in size during this period, those at the bottom have been increasingly left behind."
Professor David Gordon of the Townsend Centre for International Poverty Research in Bristol and head of the project said: "The results present a remarkably bleak portrait of life in the UK today and the shrinking opportunities faced by the bottom third of UK society. About one third of people in the UK suffer significant difficulties and about a quarter have an unacceptably low standard of living' said ' Moreover this bleak situation will get worse as benefit levels fall in real term, real wages continue to decline and living standards are further squeezed."
Today 33% of the UK population suffers from multiple deprivation by the standards set by the public. It was 14 % in 1983.
There is widespread public agreement on what constitutes a minimally acceptable diet. Over 90% agree that, for children, this means: three meals a day; fresh fruit and vegetables; and meat, fish or a vegetarian equivalent at least once a day.
• Yet well over half a million children live in families who cannot afford to feed them properly.
The study found that, in households where children go without one or more of these basic food necessities:
• In 93% at least one adult skimp on their own food 'sometimes' or 'often' to ensure others have enough to eat.
Significant proportions of the population find it difficult to cope on their current incomes:
• One in four adults have incomes below what they consider is needed to avoid poverty

Notes to Editors
• 20% of OU students come from the 25% most disadvantaged communities in the country
The PSE: UK research was financed by the Economic and Social Research Council for £3,798,315, more details here:
It is a major collaboration between the University of Bristol, Heriot-Watt University, The Open University, Queen's University Belfast, University of Glasgow and the University of York working with the NatCen and NISRA.

This is the Menin Gate at Ypres where the names of those whose bodies were never identified at the Salient in World War 1 are recorded.
This omnibus of 56 posts takes us from the outbreak of war to the closing of the 2nd Battle of Ypres. In the fall of this year, I will publish them all in an eBook, "Noblesse Oblige".
"Noblesse Oblige" will be the first of a 3 book history of the members of the Golden Mile and their experiences in World War 1.
This is a book about people. There are a few chapters about the war to orient us, but most of the book tells the stories of people who are caught up in great events of the time.
I do not confine this story only to men and to the front. We will see the enormous contribution that women brought to the effort. We will move from home in Canada, to life in the UK, to the front, to behind the lines, to hospitals, to being on leave, to being a prisoner, to travel, to the sea and sinkings. We will be with our characters in every part of their lives and deaths.
Above all we will see how they cope with loss. For while they are the elite, they too lose children, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends. Some lose their minds. Some lose all they had.
I have done my best to be scrupulous with evidence. But I have also done my best to tell a human story.
They are a remarkable group of people.

About Us
Stir Fresh was started by a family of Mongolian Barbeque eaters with 25 years of mongolian dining experience. When relocating to San Diego County in 1996, we could not find a Mongolian Barbeque restaurant, so we opened our own. We serve Mongolian Barbeque in the traditional way, with the finest of ingredients including white breast chicken and the traditional sesame seed pocket biscuit (shau Bin).
We are proud of our operation and hope you enjoy it.
An interesting grill:
The large stir fry grill in the center of the restaurant is 60 inches in diameter and 1 inch in thickness. It is composed of two layers of stainless steel with a layer of copper between the steel. Heated by a unique gas stove with four burners, this grill can reach a maximum temperature of 600 degrees Fahrenheit.
Something to know about Mongolian BBQ:
Mongolian barbecue was originally invented by Genghis Khan while he and his brave calvary men were on their expeditions across the world.
They would thinly slice meat, add a little salt, and use their sabers to stir fry the meat on an iron shield. Using this method, the food can be prepared and served within a few minutes.
After the Mongolians conquered China in the 13th century, the Chinese modified the taste by adding fresh vegetables and special sauces. The dish is served with traditional Chinese biscuits called "shao bin", steamed rice, and soup, making Mongolian barbecue a historic and artistic cuisine.
Mongolia Geographic Features:
Mongolia is the largest landlock country in the world, located between China and Russia. The area covers approximately 600,000 square miles with an average altitude of 5,200 feet. The country is separated into two regions: the Gobi Desert in the south and the Khangi in the north. The Gobi Desert is mostly dry grassland, while the Khangi consists of vast mountain ranges, deep valleys, salt lakes and elevated steppes.

Musicals aren't exactly a sure thing in primetime — think "Cop Rock" and "Eli Stone" — so the creators of Fox's "Glee" were treading on risky ground when they launched a musical dramedy series centered on a high-school glee club.
Weird scheduling added to the nail-biting. The show's pilot preemed right after "American Idol" in May, but Fox waited nearly four months to air the first episode. Two weeks later, it committed to a full-season pickup, but after 13 episodes, the show went into a four-month hiatus, partly to accommodate the schedule of writer, producer and sometime director Ryan Murphy, who took time to helm the Julia Roberts starrer "Eat, Pray, Love."
Then, in its first original episode in four months, airing again behind "American Idol," "Glee" hit series highs on April 13 (5.6 rating/13 share in adults 18-49, and 13.66 million viewers overall) — a big 70% gain over its fall demo average.
Somebody was doing something right — including d.p. Christopher Baffa and choreographer Zach Woodlee, who have gradually honed their own dance of lighting and movement into a fine art.
Baffa was shooting another Murphy-produced show, FX's "Nip/Tuck," when Murphy brought up the concept of "Glee." "We had a lot of discussion about what a modern musical is," recalls the d.p., who had never shot one before and wasn't sure how today's auds would respond to the genre on TV. "I credit him with the courage to experiment."
Says Woodlee, who is also a co-producer on "Glee": "Dancing and performing on film can be dead in the water, or it can be great. The beauty of live performance is that you can see the work and how much energy it takes, but once you put light and camera on it, it can seem flat and dull. Our camera department has found a way to reinsert energy into it."
Baffa and Woodlee seem to have mastered each other's language. "Zach has learned a lot about what my team is doing," says Baffa. "My conversations with him go like this: I say, 'It's really great.' He'll go, 'But?' I'll say, 'But we need to make it more photographable.' Like if they're occupying a 50-foot span, let's condense it to 40 feet so it fits into the shot.'"
Adds Woodlee: "In my world, I work on a taped-out floor, and we use every bit of space we can, and then he's like, 'I love it, but if you can just move this around … .' He knows what we can do to make it come to life on TV."
Baffa shoots on 35mm film — with two cameras for the nonperformance scenes but as many as five for the big musical numbers. "We also bring in 30- or 50-foot cranes so we can get a camera anywhere in space and do amazing shots," he adds.
"Glee's" music includes showtunes and chart hits. The performers are shot lip-syncing, but Baffa dispels any notion of Milli Vanilli-like shenanigans. "They're not miked, but it's their own pre-recorded voices they're singing along with," he says. "We blare the playback pretty loud so they can hear and feel the impact and emotion of it. We do it primarily so they don't have to worry about singing, although they usually are, so the breathing is realistic."
During pre-production, Baffa watched films like "Singin' in the Rain" and "Gigi." "I didn't give them enough credit until I examined how they were shot," he says. "They do a lot of uninterrupted takes, using dollies and cranes to move the camera around in one continuous masterful shot. Prior to 'Glee,' I would have considered that simplistic because it's only three pieces of coverage, but it really shows off the skill of the performers."
Bookings & Signings
Vfx supervisor Gregory Lemkin was booked on Fox pilot "Traffic Lights," NBC pilot "Friends With Benefits" and a CBS pilot for soon-to-be-renamed "Reagan's Law."

Check out my new(er) cd robot project here. I grabbed an old scsi changer machine from ebay and have been working on adding serial connectivity to it. If it works, it will be a much simpler route!
One of my "always in my head" projects is a CD changing machine. I have seen the myriad of other projects out there, and this always captivates me, in that it is just out of reach, but it seems to be a fairly simple concept. I have been thinking and sketching on this one for SUCH a long time that I have decided to post it before it is fully polished up.
The basic premise is I have an arm that swings up and down mounted on a platform that rotates 180 degrees. Both of those are positioned by hobby servos. On the tip of the arm there is two vacuum aided suction cups and some hdpe tubing.

Obama, the Liar, Spins the SOTU
I didn't watch Obama's State of the Union address on television tonight. My stomach was not strong enough. (Reminiscent of how Bush's TV appearances also induced nausea in me.)
Just a little while ago I abandoned the balance of my cappuccino in an upper East Side diner because Obama's voice from a wall TV screen in the back ambushed me. The manager/owner hustled over to the front cash register to process my check.
"I came out tonight to ESCAPE Obama!" I scolded
He wagged a finger in my face angrily. "Hey, I'm just watching to see his nose grow!" Read more about Obama, the Liar, Spins the SOTU

Food Stamp Families to Lose 16 Meals a Month
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program a/k/a "SNAP" a/k/a "food stamps" is about to be DRASTICALLY slashed on November 1st.
I wonder how our President and our Congress members can look themselves in the mirror each day.
Our media spokespeople don't like to concern themselves with poverty and hunger, either, which enables the callousness of the politicians. Talk of poverty, of hunger, bums out their viewers and makes their corporate sponsors uneasy. Read more about Food Stamp Families to Lose 16 Meals a Month

The politics of food stamps
In poor neighborhoods across the country grocery stores are mobbed at the beginning of the month and deserted the rest of the time. People get their food stamp allotment and spend it, there is very little left if any left at the end of the month. One sixth of the population is on food stamps, so we are talking billions of dollars in retail sales. Read more about The politics of food stamps

The Fiscal Cliff: Time to Go Ahead and Jump
If video won't play go to It's time to jump off the Fiscal Cliff
In a recent broadcast, Thom Hartmann makes a compelling argument why Democrats should allow Congress to jump of the "fiscal cliff" and allow the automatic tax and spending cuts to take place on December 31st (when the Bush tax cuts expire and automatic cuts to defense and domestic spending occur as stipulated in the Budget Control Act of 2011).

Fast Food Chains Lobby for the Use of Food Stamps in Restaurants
Yum! Brands, the parent company of several national fast food chains, including KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, is lobbying the Kentucky state government to allow the use of food stamps in its restaurants. If the change in the law passes, Kentucky will join a very short list of only three other states – Michigan, Arizona and California – that permit food stamps to be used this way.
For homeless people or anyone without access to cooking facilities, this would be great. Read more about This is actually a good idea

|Thanksgiving in 2014
That said, there are some days when you just have to bite the bullet and turn off the technology. Yes, that means disconnecting with the newsfeeds of your choice, the constant twitter and Facebook updates--everyone's got their own cyberspace addictions.
Today, you gotta just shut it all down. Thanksgiving is one of the few holidays in the United States that is not tied to any religous observance. It was created soley by our American forbearers--The Pilgrims--to gather family and friends together in order to catch up, laugh, eat, bond and give thanks to all that we have.
So if you dare bring your iPhone to the dinner table today, consider this photo-
shopped Norman Rockwell painting and ask yourself: What's wrong with this picture?

Supporting International CME Accreditation Initiatives
The ACCME has a long-standing commitment to supporting the development and implementation of CME systems and accreditation equivalency around the world. The ACCME has supported CME initiatives with government, health system, and CME representatives from a wide range of countries, including China, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, the Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates.
In 2002, the ACCME and the Committee for the Accreditation of Continuing Medical Education of the Association of Canadian Medical Colleges created "A Framework for Establishing Substantial Equivalency between Continuing Medical Education Accreditation Organizations," a document designed to facilitate discussion about strategies for improving CME across national boundaries. The 2002 Canadian-US agreement defines substantial equivalency as a relationship between accreditors based on shared principles and values, while recognizing and accepting differences. The ACCME joined in a collaboration with several North American and European CME leaders in 2004, to create the Consensus on Basic Values and Responsibilities Underlying the Substantial Equivalency of CME and CPD Systems.
By advancing equivalency of CME systems on a global level, the ACCME builds toward a future where patients—regardless of where they are treated or the nationality of their physician—will be assured that their doctors maintain their competence by participating in CME that meets consistent and high standards.
The ACCME offers recognition and other services to emerging and existing CME systems. For more information, contact Kate Regnier, MA, MBA, Executive Vice President, ACCME.

Zach Galifianakis Might Play a Non-Comedic Dead Cop
Alongside Ryan Reynolds.
The movie is called R.I.P.D., and it's based on a Dark Horse comic in which dead cops patrol the underworld (they work in the Rest in Peace Department). Galfianakis is just in talks to join the project right now, but if he does he'd be acting alongside Ryan Reynolds (ScarJo's ex would play a recently murdered officer out for revenge). Can Galifianakis pull off a crime drama? Should be interesting to find out. [24Frames via Collider]

This is a regular column featuring original poetry and fiction by and for teens, provided by Figment.com, an online community writing site for young people.
By Eva Sirois
Soft grass tickled her bare feet as she walked through the garden. Different aromas overwhelmed her senses, sweet, spicy, and sharp. The humming of insects added a gentle melody to the swishing grass and whispering trees. Flowery shrubs and leafy bushes adorned the garden, making its beauty thicker in the warm sunlight. Birdsong echoed through the trees, adding a harmony to the sonata of music.
It was peaceful here.
It was her sanctuary.
Yet, even dark thoughts can invade one's sanctuary.
Her heart heavy, Angla Lake slowly sank onto a stone bench underneath a willow tree. It's soft tendrils gently shielded Angla from the rest of the world, the wonders and horrors, hurt and betrayal.
Did she dare think of him?
Did she dare ponder upon the pain in her heart, the constant ache whenever she thought of the sight of him in another's arms?
Yet he had begged for her forgiveness, which she had gladly given then.
Angla knew that it was a foolish thing to do, but she was in love.
In love with one who betrayed her.
Angla leaned back in the bench, gathering her dress around her, and settled herself against the soft bark of the tree. She could feel its comfort and warmth radiating from it, and its encouragement.
He was the only one that truly made her feel needed. Wanted.
She was not ugly.
But yet she was not shiningly beautiful either.
Angla was a dreamer. She was always dreaming of true love, of fairytales coming true, and coming to her.
When Angla met him, she knew immediately that he was the One.
Perhaps she had been wrong?
No, Angla thought. It's true love. True love can conquer anything.
If it's true love, the traitorous part of her mind whispered, then why did he betray you? Your trust and love? All for a few moments satisfaction.
He came back for me. He apologized. His love for me has been unswayed, Angla argued back.
The practical voice in her mind remained silent.
It was in the past, anyway. That was not her problem now. She could trust him. She felt that he could. He had messed up, yes, but he had admitted it! And he wanted another chance! Of course she would readily give it to him!
Her poor, sweet, darling love.
Who wanted to become more than that.
She leaned back, pondering. Angla knew that all of these thoughts were a shield for what she had been desperately trying to forget. To cover up. Her mind unbiddengly flashed to an image of the day before.
"He's fooling you, Angla. I saw him with Lucy last night."
Coldness swept through her body. Her heart pounded loud in her ears. Angla managed to croak out, "No! I don't believe you!"
The sad look in her friend's eyes was like a bucket of ice cold water dumped over her head.
Angla was not being lied to by her friend.
Tears erupted down her cheeks, falling in droplets onto the cold stone bench underneath her. Angla had only been fooling herself. He was not faithful, and he never would be.
Pure strength flowed into her, and Angla knew in that moment what she must do.
Footsteps sounded on the grass in front of her, and she looked up to see him. The one that she needed to talk to.
Hope and love shone in his flawless, beautiful face. Angla felt her heart melt at the sight, but she made her resolve steel again.
"Have you come to your decision? Will you marry me?"
Angla stood up and faced him, a calm, serene look on her face. The whispering trees and carressing wind behind her gave her the strength to do this. Just one word. Just one tiny word, and she was free.

[C]hanging all references from "missionary" to "mission partner" in recognition of "the reality that when we engage in work overseas, we are learning just as much from those we encounter as we are able to teach."I can certainly understand. Even the word itself, "missionary," must cause unbearable embarrassment to those good and sensitive Episcopalians who wouldn't dream of imposing their constructed faith system on an indigenous person of a different culture.
Emphasizing "the reciprocal nature of mission work in the Anglican Communion today," the report notes that the historical understanding of the term "missionaries" has caused tensions "with our brothers and sisters around the globe."
The Episcopalians, thus, have come a long way indeed from this grand hymn, found in the 1940 Hymnal.
From Greenland's icy mountains, from India's coral strand;Those words must seem as strange to Episcopalians today as the missionaries of yore must have seemed to the heathens they sought to convert. Many of the heathen, however, were persuaded to be baptized. I wonder how much success those "mission partners" will enjoy.
Where Afric's sunny fountains roll down their golden sand:
From many an ancient river, from many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver their land from error's chain.
What though the spicy breezes blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;
Though every prospect pleases, and only man is vile?
In vain with lavish kindness the gifts of God are strown;
The heathen in his blindness bows down to wood and stone.
Shall we, whose souls are lighted with wisdom from on high,
Shall we to those benighted the lamp of life deny?
Salvation! O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation has learned Messiah's Name.
Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, and you, ye waters, roll
Till, like a sea of glory, it spreads from pole to pole:
Till o'er our ransomed nature the Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator, in bliss returns to reign.

Road freight transport powered by electricity: Siemens' eHighway system combines the efficiency of electrified railroads with the flexibility of trucks into an innovative freight traffic solution that is efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly.
The Siemens' eHighway makes it possible to reduce the use of fossil fuels and truck operating costs, at the same time eliminating local emissions such as CO2 and nitrogen oxides. The eHighway system is applicable for various use cases.
Heavily-used truck routes, for example from ports to freight and distribution centers, are often a burden on the environment. In these situations, the eHighway system produces a significant reduction in pollutant and CO2 emissions. At the same time, the economic benefits of the system are felt particularly quickly on these high-use routes.
The eHighway is an ideal way to connect pits and mines with warehouses, transshipment points or processing plants. The economic benefits of the eHighway system can be easily calculated on the basis of transport volumes. At the same time, the eHighway system significantly reduces environmental pollution and dependence on fossil fuels.
The eHighway system is based on a safe and proven infrastructure to provide a continuous energy supply to heavy commercial vehicles. It can be integrated and operated within the existing road infrastructure without significant effort and combines the efficiency of electrified railroads with the flexibility of trucks, halving energy consumption while maintaining full mobility. The eHighway system enables trucks to use renewable energy and can contribute significantly to reducing CO2 emissions. Both the ecological and economic advantages of the eHighway system grow with increased use of the route.
Downloads and Support
The eHighway system is twice as efficient as conventional internal combustion engines. The Siemens innovation supplies trucks with power from an overhead contact line – and is already used in Sweden and the USA.
Two kilometer demonstration on a public road between industry centre and port for two years
Overall aim is to evaluate Electric Road System options prior to introduction on road network
Cooperation with Scania trucks
One mile demonstration as connection to near-dock rail terminals for cargo vehicles for at least half a year
Primary goal is to promote the implementation of zero emission goods movement technologies
Cooperation with Volvo trucks and local truck converter

Record Load Bound for Freeport and St. Thomas
Published: 2009-10-30 17:26:40
Topics: Global Yachting Services
Countries: Bahamas , US Virgin Islands , USA
FT. LAUDERDALE, FLA. (October 28, 2009)
On November 3, when the 556-foot Super Servant 4, one of "Dockwise Yacht Transport's":http://www.yacht-transport.com/ (DYT) fleet of four semi-submersible ships, leaves Newport, R.I., it will be packed stem to stern with a record load of 50 recreational cruising and racing boats, worth upward of $41 million. The ship will head to Freeport, Bahamas, a newly added port of call for DYT, where it will unload eight of the vessels (six motor yachts, one sport fishing boat and one sailboat), then carry on to St. Thomas, USVI, where the remaining vessels (17 motor boats and 25 sailboats) will disembark in time for the Caribbean boating season.
"We are maxed out on this trip; not one inch of room to spare," said Ann Souder, DYT's sales agent for the East Coast and Caribbean, explaining that while the recession may have temporarily subdued demand, it has not reversed the long-term upward trend in yacht transportation between cruising destinations that DYT specializes in. The company's unique float-on/float-off method for yachts up to 200 feet in length is accommodated by its ships, such as the Super Servant 4, which partially "sink" to allow their cargoes of boats to load and unload under their own power rather than be lifted by cranes.
"It's a huge operation to make it all happen, especially with a shipment of this size," Souder continued. "Before the boats are loaded, our draftsmen have to determine the placement of each vessel based on its volume and its weight distribution relative to others on the ship. Then DYT Loading Masters oversee every minute of the loading process, which includes water ballasting the ship so it sinks to a level where the boats can be guided into the dock bays, positioning of temporary supports by specially trained scuba divers, welding the supports in place after the deck is dry, securing each boat's sea fastenings, and the de-ballasting process after which the boats are high and dry and ready for their trip."
- Super Servant 4 is scheduled to arrive Saturday, October 31st, in Newport Harbor, and will soon thereafter begin loading its cargo in the vicinity of the Pell Bridge in preparation for its Nov. 1st departure. After arriving in Freeport, the process – with all the same professionals in attendance
- will be reversed for the partial unloading. The ship is expected to arrive in St. Thomas mid-November.
"The new destination of Freeport allows yacht owners in the Northeast to get to the Bahamas or Florida from Newport if they are not inclined to go all the way to the Caribbean," said DYT President Clemens van der Werf. "We are always listening to our clients and opening up routes that make sense for their schedules." According to Van der Werf, demand for yacht transportation services is mainly generated by yacht owners and charter companies seeking expansion of their cruising grounds to benefit from two seasons within one year (e.g., New England in the summer and the Caribbean in the winter). "The market is mainly driven by the increasing global fleet size, as a result of increased wealth, and the growing charter market along with the development of new yachting destinations around the world," said Van der Werf.
DYT's global routes currently include the U.S. East Coast (Newport, Rhode Island; Port Everglades, Florida) Freeport, Bahamas, the Mediterranean (Toulon, France; Genoa, Taranto and Olbia, Italy; Marmaris, Turkey; and Palma de Mallorca, Spain), Northern Europe (La Rochelle and Cherbourg, France), the Caribbean (St. Thomas and Martinique); the Pacific West Coast (Golfito, Costa Rica; La Paz and Ensenada, Mexico; and Vancouver, B.C., Canada) and the South Pacific (Papeete, Tahiti; Auckland, New Zealand; and Brisbane, Australia).
Headquartered in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, DYT is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dockwise Ltd. (Hamilton, Bermuda), the global leader in maritime transports and installation. Since its maiden voyage in 1987, the company has transported over 10,000 motor and sailing yachts to various destinations around the globe, offering owners and charterers safe and easy access to many of the world's premier cruising grounds.
In addition to its conservation partnership with The Billfish Foundation, the only non-profit organization dedicated solely to conserving and enhancing billfish populations around the world, DYT is also partnered with the International SeaKeepers Society. Its newest ship, the 685.7 foot (209 meter) Yacht Express, is outfitted with the modular SeaKeeper 1000TM ocean and meteorological monitoring system which samples, measures, records and transmits critical measures of ocean health—salinity, temperature, oxygen and pollution, among others—to various scientific and public communities across the globe.
Along with area representatives around the world, DYT has additional operating offices in Genoa, Italy, Martinique and Newport, R.I., USA.

FBI Raids Surround Attack
Agents Yank Muslim Websites, Confiscate Videos
Six days before the attack the FBI and 80-member task force descended on InfoCom Corporation in Richardson, Texas to shut it down, including its webservers, removing 500 websites serving largely Arab and Muslim communities. The FBI occupied the building for days, copying documents. 1
The FBI also promptly scoured the surroundings of the Pentagon to make sure there would be no public airing of any video of the attack. Agents reportedly seized video from both the nearby Sheraton National Hotel and NexComm/Citgo gas station within minutes of the attack. Helicopter footage not seized by the FBI shows an organized group of well-dressed people combing the Pentagon's lawn, also within minutes of the attack.

Thus, we need to ask what you need out of your machine first. If you just need basic internet access for email and news, a cheap Chromebook will get you by just fine How to Decide If a Chromebook Is Right For You How to Decide If a Chromebook Is Right For You Is a Chromebook for everyone? In a word: No. There is a time and a place for a Chromebook. If you are contemplating this laptop replacement, there are a few things you should consider first. Read More . Conversely, if your profession requires editing HD video every day, a Chromebook won't do for you at all. Keep that in mind while you're shopping for a new laptop.
Areas That Often Suffer in Cheap Machines
Chances are, your needs probably fall somewhere between the above extremes. You don't need the most powerful machine ever, but you need something beyond the basics. Let's talk about the computer aspects that commonly take a hit when you buy a cheap laptop so you understand what you're paying for.
A screen's resolution Graphic Display Resolutions - What Do The Numbers Mean? [MakeUseOf Explains] Graphic Display Resolutions - What Do The Numbers Mean? [MakeUseOf Explains] Display resolutions can be a rather cryptic business, with multiple standards used to describe the same display resolution in 10 different ways. All of those technical terms tend to change based on the display's purpose... Read More dictates how many pixels it can show at once, and thus how clear the picture is. For reference, 1080p is 1920 x 1080 while 4K is 4096 × 2160. A lot of cheap computers display in something like 1366 x 768, which isn't great. Everything you do on your PC, from editing spreadsheets to watching videos, looks worse on a cheap screen.
Another way that the screen suffers is overall size. If you don't hook your laptop up to an external monitor How to Use Two Monitors: 3 Steps to a Multiple Monitor Setup How to Use Two Monitors: 3 Steps to a Multiple Monitor Setup You'd think that all you'd have to do is plug any video display into the computer port on your laptop or PC. Well, it's a little more complicated than that. Read More and the screen is only 11 inches, you won't have much room to work with.
Hard Drive
Your computer's hard drive is where all of your data is saved, and in cheap machines, you can run into two problems.
The first is low disk space. Average laptops now ship with a 500 GB hard drive. While this sounds like a lot, you won't actually get the full 500 GB for yourself. If you plan on keeping lots of games, videos, and programs on your system, you could run out of space fast. You can always purchase an external hard drive to get more space, but that's an additional cost.
Second, the traditional hard disk drives in cheap machines are much slower than newer solid-state drives. While SSDs are more expensive and don't offer the huge capacities of HDDs, they offer incredible performance. With a cheaper laptop, you won't get the faster boot times, app launching, and file transfer speed that come with an SSD 5 Things You Should Consider When Buying An SSD 5 Things You Should Consider When Buying An SSD The world of home computing is moving towards solid state drives for storage.

Random access memory, or RAM, temporarily holds open programs on your computer. We've explained everything about how RAM works A Quick & Dirty Guide to RAM: What You Need to Know A Quick & Dirty Guide to RAM: What You Need to Know RAM is a crucial component of every computer, but it can be confusing to understand if you aren't a tech guru. In this post, we break it down in easy-to-grasp terms. Read More if you're interested. Suffice it to say here that with a lack of RAM, you're going to notice a huge decrease in performance.
The first result on Amazon for "laptop" has 4 GB of RAM, which is decent but not enough for running lots of programs in tandem. If you have ten programs running in the background while you have twelve Chrome tabs open and are streaming from Spotify while working in Adobe Premiere, 4 GB of RAM isn't going to cut it.
You can only use so much RAM How Much RAM Do You Really Need? How Much RAM Do You Really Need? RAM is like short term memory. The more you multitask, the more you need. Find out how much your computer has, how to get the most out of it, or how to get more. Read More , but having 8 or 12 GB will give you a lot more breathing room than a basic 4 GB machine.

Even if it succeeds, you don't need it. Here's why, and what to do instead. Read More , so don't expect to use one to compensate for lack of RAM.
Touchpad, Keyboard, and More
The three above components are the biggest hangups on cheap laptops, but there are several more items to watch out for. On a low-quality machine, you might find a touchpad that's too small, or difficult to click. The keyboard might have an awkward layout or sticky buttons, and the built-in speakers probably aren't great.
This laptop has the loudest, clickiest and worst touchpad of all time. It reverberates around the living room… *TAP CLICK TAP*

How Do You Decide?
We've discussed the needs of different folks, and the aspects of cheap machines that can cause problems. The best way to decide for yourself if you should buy a cheap machine or shell out an extra few hundred dollars is to consider how much time you spend on your computer.
If you only hop on your laptop for twenty minutes a day to check email and browse social media, you don't need much more than the bare minimum. You'll have to deal with slow boot times and a lackluster display, but since you won't use it much, it's not worth $300 more to avoid these nuisances.
However, if you spend hours every day on your computer, it's a different story. When you use your PC for an entertainment hub, developing your hobby 17 Geeky DIY Hobbies You Can Learn in a Small Space 17 Geeky DIY Hobbies You Can Learn in a Small Space Hobbies are important for a well-rounded life, but many DIY hobbies require a lot of room for machines or materials.

I bought a Toshiba satellite in 2015. I have been having issues with the performance since I bought it. I'm in school and am heavily reliant on the laptop to do what it's suppose to do. Man, I wasted close to $300 on a cheap computer when I could have just spent a little more and saved myself frustration. I'm in class embarrassed because my computer is frozen. I'm on blackboard sitting with 10 minutes left on a test because the computer screen has gone black and frozen. For goodness sake I couldn't even run citation machine in another tab without the computer becoming completely unresponsive. I can't tell you how long I've waited just trying to to login to Windows. How many times I've begged professors to allow me to take a exam again because my computer just gave up on life. Never again. I suffered for two years and I shall suffer no more. I am no longer a prisoner of a basic Intel Celeron processor.
Personally a cheap laptop might be fine in terms of performance for the end user. But you may end up with other compromises you wish you did not have. Such as poor battery life, terrible keyboard, bad sound quality, or lack of ports for external devices. Also screen quality typically suffers with cheaper notebooks and that to me is very important since everyone stares at the laptop for hours at a time. Also longevity comes into question with cheap laptops. My own observations of buying laptops for years is consumer grade laptops have focused more on fancy designs of late and not durability. Business grade seems to focus better on good screens, better keyboards and touchpad's and really flexible ports. Also they tend to hold up better in the long run.
I'd rather buy a secondhand Dell Latitude than a cheap crap Insipidron, or any of the other consumer crap. When I go cheap consumer it'll be a Chromebook, because it's cheap enough to replace and hasn't got the overhead of a full Windows OS. It is hassle-free compared with a Windows-running laptop too.
My old Dell Inspiron 1100 is 14 yrs old! It's been steadily upgraded as the years go past, which has kept it still usable. A P4 is pretty ancient nowadays, it's true.....but with 1.5 GB RAM and a 64 GB SSD (as well as two 64 GB 'nano' USBs for external storage), she still keeps chugging along. I've only just replaced the rechargeable CMOS battery for the first time.....and the main battery for the second.
Had a Sony VAIO CS since 2009. Still holds up today apart from having to replace the fan twice which only cost me less than five dollars. Plays The Sims 4 and Football Manager 2016 just fine.
I've been using my late 2009 MacBook ever since I bought it. At a student discount it was a bit under 1000€, thanks to Upgrades to 8GB of RAM and a SSD it's still doing a really good job. Had to have the screen replaced about two years ago, but that wasn't too expensive.
The original battery is still good enough for about 2-3h of surfing, giving power point presentations at school and so on.
It was definitely a good buy and although its age is showing more often lately, I hope that we still can spend together a few years.
After that I'll probably go Apple again, but that's a decision I can't make today.
My gf bought a cheaper laptop about a year ago. Her main selling point was the color, so she's happy with it, but I would never want to have a 1366x786 display.
Replaceable batteries is a must have if you are looking at purchasing a lower end laptop, as the battery is usually the weakest component. The last cheap laptop I owned lasted nearly 6 years, thanks to two battery replacements.
Chromebooks rock the laptop market. A recent Acer 17" purchase is some of the best money I've ever spent on a computer.
