text: ← back to list July 21, 2016 @ 05:10 PM Mercedes-Benz Malaysia is at an all-time high It's a story that we've heard over and over since 2014, but here's to the new record for Mercedes-Benz Malaysia once again! Mercedes-Benz Malaysia is at the top of their game in the first half of 2016 once again! This time around the magic number is 6017. Yes, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia is proud to announce that they have sold a total of 6017 cars in the first half of 2016. Not only is this MBM's best first half to date, they have also raked in a new score for the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) After Sales rating. The numbers are led by Mercedes-Benz's locally produced limousines. Having introduced two new variants to the C-Class's line up, the C180 and the C300, a total of 2534 units rolled out of showrooms and into the garages of proud owners in the first half of 2016. The E-Class follows from a far second with 1063 units finding new owners while 549 units of the S-Class were delivered in the first half of the year. Compact cars from the marque are also highly in demand largely thanks to the popularity of the MY Urban Hunting campaign to help renew the love for the new A-Class. A total of 570 units were sold in the first half of the year giving the A-Class the crown of the compact class range. The CLA, previously the best-seller of the compact range, found favour with 341 buyers. The GLA doesn't fall far from its compact cousins with 329 units sold. Surprisingly, MBM's SUV range found a lot of favour from a number of people. The number of GLCs sold in the first half of the year is makes up the 576 units at 483 units. Meanwhile, the GLE and GLE Coupe found favour with 93 owners. The Dream Car Collection on the other hand was also a success with the crowd as MBM sold 90 units in the first half of the year. MBM reports that most of the sales were made in second quarter of 2016 with 3359 cars sold and June 2016 being their best month ever recording at 1203 units. The number of cars sold in June is also a new milestone for the brand. Sales of the cars were not the only milestone for the manufacturer this year. MBM has invested more than RM20 million into their dealer network on new openings and upgrading works. In the first quarter of 2016, MBM and Cycle and Carriage Bintang saw the reopening of two revamped Autohauses and the opening of a brand new City Store in TREC. In the second quarter, MBM and Hap Seng Star cut the ribbons of the first full-fledged 3S facility known as the Mercedes-Benz City Service located at the heart of KL. With the revamping work done and the opening of new facilities have brought MBM the highest CSI After Sales rating in history and helped them achieve leadership position in the competitor benchmark study. The MBM service network also serviced a record number of 52,700 cars during the first half of the year. This is the first time that MBM has entered the double digit growth percentage rate and they have even let loose that they have something planned to celebrate the success with everyone!

'The old order changeth, yielding place to new'
It is appropriate that the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy devote an issue of its Journal to the 12th International Ferroalloys Conference, even though published proceedings are available.
The reasons are twofold. Firstly, the theme of the conference was 'sustainability' and this is perhaps a most critical battle cry in Southern Africa, probably more so than in many other developing region. Secondly, the first INFACON conference was held in Johannesburg 36 years ago and the historical background is of some relevance as it was sponsored by the SAIMM as one of its first international conferences. It was to promote the success of the pioneering work of Dr William Bleloch of Rand Mines to establish an electric arc production plant at Middelburg to utilize the lowgrade but plentiful chromite resources for a competitive ferrochrome product.
There was a great deal of fundamental work needed to support the plant operations, so a pyrometallurgy group was established by the National Institute of Metallurgy, (initially at the University of the Witwatersrand) under the leadership of Dr Peter Jochens and Prof David Howat, to provide the postgraduate support for such work. The interaction and enthusiasm of the whole team was such that the postgraduate students themselves funded the purchase of sleeping bags and stretchers (and appropriate sustenance) so that they could be present on the plant continuously to take samples at the appropriate times throughout the night.
This was the birth of the Pyrometallurgy Division of Mintek and of course the establishment of RMB Alloys as a highly successful ferrochrome producer. It was demonstrated that the submerged arc furnace could produce an acceptable grade of ferrochrome at an unbeatable cost and the results were proudly announced at the first International Ferroalloys Congress in Johannesburg in 1974.
It was this conference that illustrated that the low cost of electric power and the plentiful supply of both chromite and manganese ores placed this country as the natural locality for the evolution of the global ferroalloy industry.
The previous highly favourable situation has changed, and today we face the challenge of having to deal with substantial increases in power costs and looming shortages of the 'lumpy' chromite ore preferred for operation of the conventional submerged arc furnace. So once again it seems we are at the crossroads, with several different directions to assure the sustainability of the industry and particularly the opportunities for added value and job creation.
A number of papers in this issue focus on the DC plasma arc furnace, which has been investigated for several decades as an alternative to the submerged arc furnace because of its ability to accept a finer particle chromite feed.
The papers illustrate well the complexity not only of the stability of open plasma arcs but also of the control features needed in the power supply for converting the AC transmitted power to the large DC requirements. The complexity of the design of the hearth of the furnace, which acts as the anode, is also revealed. The potential of the DC arc furnace was appreciated by Mintek all of three decades ago, and this illustrates the timescale for any major engineering advance to be commercially implemented and to reach maturity.
The many different approaches to overcome the worldwide problem of the high carbon footprint of electrometallurgical processing and the depletion of the conventional raw materials for ferroalloy production were apparently well covered at the Helsinki conference. The high cost of power from oil or coal is of relevance across the world. It was of interest to note that consideration is being given to the role of natural gas as not only a reductant but also as a source of electric power. As mentioned in a previous Journal Comment, it is of great significance that even in South Africa it is beneficial to pipe natural gas from Mozambique to Johannesburg to drive a generator to produce power for a commercial building in Johannesburg at lower cost than can be provided by Eskom.
The cost of power to those producers sitting in close proximity to natural gas could be internationally highly competitive. It is also significant that, as reported in the last issue of this Journal, there are operations recovering fine chromite from waste residues of the platinum mines. It has proved to be feasible that the recovered material can be successfully reduced to metal, in DC or submerged arc
The conference covered several other ferroalloys such as ferromanganese, ferronickel, ferrovanadium, and ferrosilicon, which have similar power cost considerations. The various advances in process options are well covered in the proceedings and form a portfolio of challenges and opportunities for the global metallurgical community, including Southern Africa. Unquestionably, the opportunities of co-generation of power will play a cardinal role in meeting the power crisis in this country.
The expansion plans for the Saldanha-Sishen railway line to accommodate the transport of manganese ore, and the expansion potential for steel production at Saldanha Bay, should a nuclear power plant or the offshore natural gas deposits be developed, are long-term prospects. Also, many billions of tons of waste coal fines are potentially available around the Bushveld Complex and Richards Bay.
Other centres of activity around Namaqualand, the Bushveld Igneous Complex, and at Richards Bay represent a portfolio of developments that will demand a huge level of international collaboration, as was evident at the Helsinki 12th INFACON. New alloys and consumer derivatives from them will demand high priority attention if the most critical demand for employment targets are to be met. It is for this reason that I find most interesting that the theme of INFACON12 is sustainability, and that several of the international companies contributing to the ferroalloy evolution in South Africa are making plans for agriculturalbased cluster villages with manufacturing industries around the mining and metallurgical activities.
The resources of the vital elements in the form of chromium, manganese, vanadium, and even nickel are large but, being low grade, the cost and technology needed to convert such resources into reserves will be highly significant. I suspect there will be many more INFACON conferences this century.
May our readers enjoy and take full advantage of these international associations.

When Ariadne was 12 years old, decision time arrived. Did we embrace the newer technologies now available? Or did we behave like the world girdlers and go for a minimalist solution that can't go wrong? The type of sailing that we do, and the logs that I like to create have pointed us to a fairly hi-
Our basic Raymarine ST50 instrumentation is still functional, but the support for this series is at best weak, and some key spares may not be available. But we will try to keep it going. It has served us well. The Seatalk 'cloud' includes GPS, a black and white plotter, and the autopilot as well as the usual wind, speed and depth instruments.
An early addition was an autopilot remote. The early ones were connected to seatalk by a cable, but the more recent one is wireless. This help when getting away from the pontoon as I can still steer while working on deck clearing fenders and warps. More importantly, it provides access to all the navigational information on deck (lat, long, SOG, COG, BTW, DTW, true wind and apparent wind etc).
Now we have added AIS feeding to new C-
Also, our Navtex has been replaced with a modern dual frequency one. The final addition has been a Seame. For Channel crossings, it seems sensible.
Of course, once you get into Biscay, or into the Irish Sea, Seame and AIS are almost redundant.
Much of the new instrumentation was stowed on a new shelf with top access built under the chart stowage space
I have installed a small modern laptop and it is remarkable. Power consumption is massively reduced compared to my previous computer. It is fully functional, and, with a usb gps can be moved into the cockpit for the few occasions when it is really important to have a plotter in the cockpit.
Changing to LED navlights has been deferred until the legal situation has stabilised (which seems to be happening during 2014)

Want a Gift Card from GM? The Deadline Has Been Pushed Back.
Last week, we found out that GM is going to offer $25 gift cards to drivers who own vehicles affected by the ignition switch recall, who take their cars in to be fixed, free of charge, by December 1st. Yes, that's right: your car might kill you, but it's only worth getting the free fix if you get an Applebee's gift card from GM.
Apparently, dealerships got a little nervous following the announcement, worried that there would suddenly be a massive influx of customers wanting their gift cards—oh, and their cars fixed too, you know, if they have the time or whatever. To allow for a steadier flow of repair work at these dealerships, General Motors has extended the deadline to January 1st.
That's right, drivers now have even longer to trek about in their dangerous vehicles, but they can still be rewarded for it. Makes sense.
What isn't quite clear yet is if the responsible owners, who took their cars in as soon as possible, will receive gift cards for being proactive. Or maybe their reward was just the knowledge that they weren't going to die. Though, that doesn't seem to be enough for most people.

Two top women ministers of the nation, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti expressed opposing views on how to deal with Pakistan, in the wake of frequent ceasefire violations and the attack on the Sunjuwan camp in Jammu.
While Sitharaman reiterated that Pakistan will pay the price for its 'misadventure', CM Mufti called for resuming peace dialogue with Pakistan as the 'solution' for troubles in the valley.
"Pakistan will pay for this misadventure. I repeat Pakistan will pay for it," said the defence minister on Monday, while she was in Jammu to take stock of the situation.

The February 10 terrorist attack on the army camp in Sunjuwan, Jammu, which was claimed by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba militant group, led to the death of 5 soldiers and a father of one of the soldiers, in one of the worst attacks in months. Women and children were among the 10 wounded in the attack.
"These terrorists were sponsored by Pakistan. Their handlers are across the border. There is also a possibility that they enjoyed local support," Sitharaman said.

Meanwhile, J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti advocated dialogue with Pakistan as the only way to resolve differences.
"We fought and won all wars against Pakistan but even now there is no solution other than dialogue, till when will our jawans and civilians keep dying," Mufti said in the state assembly on Monday.
Later, in a tweet, Mufti again highlighted the importance of resuming talks with Pakistan.
"Dialogue with Pakistan is necessary if we are to end bloodshed. I know I will be labelled anti-national by news anchors tonight but that doesn't matter. The people of J&K are suffering. We have to talk because war is not an option," she tweeted.

Over the past one year, there has been a significant increase in the number of ceasefire violations, infiltrations, and attacks from across the border. Already in 2018, around 20 people have been killed, including 9 civilians, with more than 75 others getting injured.
The international community has also been pressuring Pakistan to remove from its soil safe havens for terrorists which are leading to 'instability' in the South Asian region. The US, in January 2018, suspended military aid to Pakistan, alleging inaction of the nation in taking significant steps against terrorism, which the US said was hampering the efforts in war-torn Afghanistan.

Google got hit with one of the largest fines in corporate history with the European Union demanding 2.42 billion euro (2.7 billion dollars). So what's the cause? Google has been favoring its own "Google Shopping" service over other similar services, a practice which the EU has determined to be anti-competitive. These services allow users to quickly and easily find a variety of offers and deals for products.
At the heart of the complaint and fine is something even deeper, however. Google has built an entire ecosystem of products and services that plug into its search engine. Google is the world's prominent search engine, allowing people to quickly and easily find pretty much anything, anywhere. At the same time critics allege that Google is increasingly becoming a "closed garden" or ecosystem that only promotes its own services and products.
Besides Google Shopping, the search engine also prominently displays its Maps services, as well as local listings. Many web users seem to enjoy this integration, but critics claim this is anti-competitive, and the European Union has now sided with this view. For all of Google's other services this could result in similar rulings.
Google Maps and local listings are coming under especially close scrutiny from the European Union. For small businesses, any changes to the way Google treats these two services could have a big impact. If Google can't favor its own internal services, and especially those services it makes you pay for (such as shopping), then it will level the playing field for everyone else trying to move up in search engine rankings.
It's Time To Bring Down The Walls
Google's search engine is a great tool for many, many things. Customers can find what they want, and businesses can find customers. Yet over the years Google has become an increasingly walled-off garden. They want to keep you on their own properties. Over the years ad revenues and clicks have risen on Google's properties, while they've declined elsewhere. In fact, in 2016 81% of ad revenues came from Google's own properties, up from 71% from a year earlier. While Google's search engine is well-known, they also run ad platforms on other websites through its AdSense program. This hints at how walled off Google is becoming.
For small businesses this often means you have to "pay to play". If you want your business to show up at the top of Google's search engine, you might have to buy an ad or else create a listing for Google Shopping, or another promoted service. The European Union is challenging this model, viewing it as noncompetitive.
In the long-run, this could lead to the walls around the garden being brought down in Europe. This policy change could eventually change legislation in other countries. As Google becomes more open it will make SEO all the more vital. Getting to the top of Google and other search engines is among the most valuable real estate for many small businesses.
Whether you're running a local restaurant or an online shopping website, being at the top of Google means securing traffic. The more traffic you secure through SEO and other methods, the more chances you have to convert. This can lead to more revenues and ultimately profits. Of course, getting to the top of Google is no easy task. You'll need to publish high quality SEO-rich content that is attractive to both search engines and most importantly readers.
No matter the result of this case, Google will remain the world's most important search engine in the years to come. For small businesses, websites, bloggers and everyone else, anti-competitive measures against Google mean more competitive opportunities for them. This will make SEO and organic inbound marketing all the more valuable and essential in the years ahead.

In Phase One's efforts to make PODAS a remarkable experience we decided that we should have our chief technologist Claus Molgaard participate. The thought behind this was it would do both attendees and Phase One good. The attendees benefit to be ale to talk to and have conversations with Claus. Phase One benefits as Claus gets to see how Phase One systems are used in the field. I know we learned a lot and that every day Claus was on email back to his team on things that could be improved or fixed. But all would agree it was a darn nice pleasure to have Claus and his smile with us. He shot next to everyone and was always there with suggestions and a helping hand. I don't know of any other company that would send someone like Claus out to the field to see how the gear is actually be used.
One thought on "Chief Technologist Shoots With PODAS Attendees"
Congratulations on your blog, would be a good idea to perform online activities.

Pivotal Road Trip Awaits Broncos
Oct. 11, 2017
Friday, Oct. 13 - 4 p.m. (MT) | at Colorado State
Currently tied for sixth place in the conference standings with Wyoming, the Broncos will begin a crucial five-game stretch to conclude the regular season that will have a significant impact on earning a spot in the 2017 Mountain West Tournament where the top six teams qualify. Both Boise State and Wyoming have 10 points, not far behind first-place San José State (13 points).
ABOUT COLORADO STATE: The Rams recently picked up a 1-0 win on the road against Nevada to snap a three-game losing streak. They are a well-rounded offensive team with five players scoring at least two goals and 12 players scoring at least one goal on the season.
Colorado State has allowed 1.29 goals a game on the year – tied for 11th in the league. The Broncos currently hold a 4-0-0 advantage in the all-time series, including a recent 2-1 victory in overtime last year in Boise on Sept. 25, 2016.
ABOUT WYOMING: The Cowgirls have won two of their last three games and are unbeaten in their seven home games (5-0-2) so far at the Madrid Sports Complex this season. Almost half of their 21 goals this season have come courtesy of Brittney Stark (6) and Alisha Bass (4).
The Wyoming defense has been particularly stout in conference play with a .83 goals-against-average (tied for the fourth in the league), as led by standout goalkeeper Georgia Rowntree. Wyoming leads the all-time series against the Broncos 7-4-1, but Boise State won the most recent matchup (1-0, Sept. 23, 2016).
LAST TIME OUT: Boise State came away with four points last weekend with a 1-1 tie against Air Force on Friday and a 3-2 victory over Colorado College on Sunday afternoon. Aubree Chatterton scored in both games, finding the back of the net in the 56th minute against the Falcons and then in the 26th for the first goal of the day against the Tigers.
The Blue and Orange registered three goals in a nine-minute span in the 26th, 30th and 34th minutes on Sunday with Chatterton, Raimee Sherle and McKenna Kynett scoring. The first half flurry marked the second time this season that Boise State has scored three goals in the first half of a game (Aug. 20 – Southern Utah). Colorado College made a late push in the second half, but the home team was able to hang on for the Sunday win.
Friday's match saw the Broncos outshoot (25-16) and put more shots on goal (11-7) than Air Force, but the hosts couldn't find the golden goal in either overtime periods. Boise State momentarily thought they won the game in the second overtime in the 109th minute when Sherle scored and the main official initially ruled it a goal, but it was later overturned due to an offsides call. Chatterton tallied 12 shots on the weekend - the most for any Bronco.
IMPROVING OFFENSE: After scoring 10 goals over the course of nine games in the nonconference portion of the season, the Broncos have already tallied 10 goals in just six games of Mountain West play. With a 1.667 scoring average in conference games, the Blue and Orange are tied for first in the league in the statistic.
CHATTERTON EXPLODES: The freshman enjoyed her best two games of soccer as a Bronco last week in picking up a pair of goals against Air Force and Colorado College. The two goals and 12 shots on the weekend more than doubled both season statistics for her, as she entered the weekend with one goal and eight shots through 14 games.
FLORES SO CLOSE: Flores is currently in a tie for first place in the school record book with 17 career shutouts, joined by Liz Ruiz (2008-11). One more shutout would give the Hesperia, Calif., another top spot in the school record book as she is also currently first in career GAA (1.00).
SHERLE CONTINUES EXCELLING: With 17 points (third in MW) and seven goals (tied for second in MW) on the season, the sophomore continues to work her way up the Bronco record book. Now sporting 14 career goals, the sophomore is tied for seventh in school history. In addition, she is tied for second in the NCAA in game-winning goals (6), and also leads the Mountain West in the category.
CRUCIAL MINUTES FROM THE BENCH: This past weekend was a strong outing for the Bronco bench as eight different players came on as substitutes to combine for 386 minutes. The best example was McKenna Kynett and her 46 minutes of play against Colorado College that also produced a goal – her third of the season coming off the bench.

|Shares & Voting
Two of the most commonly misunderstood practices of Arden Beaches, Inc. are the selling of 'shares' and the voting practices to which those shares entitle their shareholders. Although the following test is not a definitive explanation of both of these practices, we wanted to try to cast some light on both subjects so that both the residents lcurrently iving within Arden, as well as anyone considering the purchase of property within Arden knew how both practices worked.
Buying Shares:
If you had the opportunity to read the history of Arden Beaches, Inc. you will have seen that our beaches weren't always locally owned. In 1976, the Arden Civic Association was able to purchase these amenities through the creation of Arden Beaches, Inc. and it has operated independently ever since. Prior to that purchase and, unfortunately, somewhat afterward, outside entities tried to gain 'control' of the governing body that controlled these property locations for the betterment of their endeavors. For instance, in one situation, a land developer who did not live in this community, sought to hold a board member position to help steer Arden Beaches, Inc. decisions in a manner that would personally benefit his company. To that end, Arden Beaches, Inc. set up specific clauses in its By-Laws that mandated ownership of property as well as membership in Arden Beaches, Inc. (through ownership of shares) to be able to act in regard to voting and steering activities that affected the Board of Directors.
Ultimately, it was decided that any owner of a residential lot shown upon the sub-division plat of Sunrise Beach may contribute money to the Corporation and thereupon receive a membership certificate in the Corporation. In the current situation, it is commonly known that a contribution of $50.00 will purchase a single share. Also, one share will be provided to those qualified owners who serve as board members for a minimum of one term of two years and do not already have membership certificates. The purchased shares are lifelong and are not bound to the owner/purchaser, they may be transferred by the owner to any property owner of a residential lot shown upon the sub-division plat of Sunrise Beach by writing a request to the Corporation for proper recording on the Corporate records. What this means is, if you want to transfer your shares to your neighbor, or if you are selling you house and you want to transfer them to the new owner, you may do so by writing to the Corporation and submitting the request to be formally recognized.
Shareholder Voting:
Purchasing shares is as simple as owning property within Arden and submitting your money, and request, to Arden Beaches, Inc. Unfortunately, what most people don't realize is the simplicity of what those shares entitle their owner to do. First off, most people assume that a wealthy resident could monopolize the voting through their ability to purchase shares. However, what is little knows is that the Arden Beaches, Inc. By-Laws enforce fairnes by maintaining that no member(s) singly or jointly, owning one lot as described in Article III, Section 1 of the By-Laws, will ever be permitted to collectively own more than five (5) percent of the total outstanding votes. This means that noone may ever hold a monopoly on voting.
Each year, usually in January, Arden Beaches, Inc. holds their annual Shareholders Meeting. At this meeting, many subjects are discussed and addressed, but most importantly votes are taken on a number of issues. Only shareholders are allowed to vote as they have financially contributed to the maintenance of Arden Beaches, Inc. and the ownership of thier shares entitles them to state their voice in the decisions that need to be made. If you hold one share, you are allowed one vote. If you hold multiple shares, you are allowed multiple votes. Again, you are not allowed any more votes than shares that you hold, as to ensure the fairness of the process. Usually, votes are in relation to replacing Board Member seats that are up for their rotating election cycle, but issues of environmental impact, financial well being, property maintenance, financial investment, changes to the governing By-Laws, etc. can be voted upon at this meeting. The intent is to remain transparent and allow the voice of the shareholders to be heard.

It's easy to forget about the air we breathe. It's a subconscious act: inhale, hold, exhale; repeat. But the moment air quality deteriorates for any reason – excessive particles, chemical fumes, biting cold or burning heat – breathing becomes a safety concern. It can even become deadly.

In our line of business, safety isn't just a priority but a necessity.
It's the driving force behind every project, because we understand that we create more than cost-effective solutions – we're creating life-sustaining environments. Humidity, airflow, temperature regulation, these factors must be carefully manipulated, otherwise one's safety is at risk, and our professional staff has the experience and expertise to ensure every project meets and exceeds safety standards.
WH Demmons' performance and attention to detail on the last several jobs over a span of two years have gone without a hitch.
– Peter Martell, New Balance
Our staff are encouraged to speak up if they see someone putting themselves or others at risk, which has enabled us to reduce our insurance modifier to .63%. This reduction increases our competitive ability in the market, since our insurance overhead is so low.

Our very own Tom Gibby and Syd Lawrence have been nominated and shortlisted for a spot in the Hospital Club 100 for Games & Tech.
The h.Club100 awards seek to identify and celebrate the 100 most influential and innovative people working across Britain's creative industries in the past 12 months and we think it would be really awesome to be able to add their names to this list.
Thankfully, they were nominated together so you don't have to decide whether you prefer Gibby's innovative, creative, strategic Awesome sh.it or if you really love Syd's techy, geeky, makethemotherfuckeractuallywork Awesome sh.it - you can vote for them both - phew - otherwise there might have been handbags at dawn in the office.
Much as the rest of the fuckers would like to ignore this nomination, since we don't want their giant heads to grow any bigger or they won't be able to get into the bat cave, we are also secretly a little bit proud of our boys. It's already a pretty huge achievement to be nominated and shortlisted and we'd really like to give our co-founders a little early Christmas/ Hanukkah/ Thanksgiving present, by getting them onto this list, for being so awesome.
So the rest of us fuckers have all gone here and voted. Our mothers, fathers, grandmas, grandpas, sisters, brothers, cousins and the random people we yell "hey our mates got nominated for an award and you should vote for them" have all voted and now we are asking you to vote too.
Simply visit the link, scroll down to Games & Tech and find "Syd Lawrence and Tom Gibby" then click vote. Maybe Keith the Awesome cat will visit you in your sleep and bring a little present to say thanks. Who knows but we'd really appreciate your vote.

The Netherlands has laid the world's first solar road – we go eyes-on to investigate• http://www.extremetech.com
My significant other, Jessica Hall, happens to be spending a semester in Amsterdam and was willing to trek out to the Krommenie-Wormerveer cross-connection to see this solar roadway in action.
Below, we'll answer some common questions people have raised about the projects and the road itself. One thing to know about the Netherlands is that biking is huge there, despite the wet, maritime climate. Building a solar bike path isn't a throwaway gesture as it is in the United States, and the bike path itself, as you'll see, is laned like a modern road. This project is built by SolaRoad — it's different from the crowdfunded Solar Roadways project that we wrote about earlier this year.
At present, only 70 meters of a planned 100 meters has been completed and only one side. This stretch of path is bathed in consistent sunlight for most of the day, making it a good test case for the project. In the image above, the solar road is on the left, the traditional concrete is on the right.
Size and composition
One of the questions readers have raised is what traction could be like on a solar roadbed. According to Jess, the road is heavily textured and bumpy to the point that she'd be less afraid of wiping out on concrete than on the solar section.

I am torn. I feel guilty and petty for celebrating the misery and misfortune of others. But I can't help feeling smug and satisfied when certain people get their just deserts.
A friend at work started playing World of Warcraft a couple months before I left the game in March. I won't go over the whole leaving WOW story again because I've beat that dead horse enough. But one of the reasons I left WOW after almost a year and a half was guild drama and a painful guild split.
My friend at work told me to check out his main character in the Armory. I'd forgotten about that tool. Of course I checked out my old guild too. They had a couple dozen characters in their teens and twenties. Many of the names were old raiders from the Molten Core days. Blew me away to think they'd deleted their old characters and started over new. Good for them.
I also checked out the splinter guild... the traitors that rushed to level 70 after the expansion was released and left to form a new guild to start raiding. They're gone. Dead. I emailed someone from my old guild and he said he heard they had some big, ugly blow out a few weeks ago and a bunch transferred servers and some quit out right.
Does this make me a bad person? I'm happy they got what they deserve. Evil devouring itself or some such like that. But I also don't like being bitter. I had good times with them. If anything I should thank them for helping me decide to leave WOW. Since then I've come to a more balanced approach to video games.
There. I feel better sharing instead of letting it fester inside me. Too bad I didn't have this blog a year ago. Enough of with the feelings already. Time to log in and hunt some orcs.

BATON ROUGE, La. --A woman from Louisiana has been reunited with a man she met more than 50 years ago, thanks to Facebook.Melody Longino says she first met William McCrary on a Greyhound bus ride to Texas back in 1957.
They stayed in touch for years until they went their separate ways because William, who was a Marine at the time, had to move to different states.
Then a friend request from William on Facebook changed everything this past May.
Melody said after more than 50 years, they have a lot of catching up to do.

Getting to know Mark, a homeless alcohol-dependent artist, as he finds his way out of the river
Getting to know Mark, a homeless alcohol-dependent artist, as he finds his way out of the river
Although the Homeless Hub works tirelessly to bring current and up to date content to our site, access to many journal articles is constrained by the subscription restrictions imposed by publishing companies. While the Homeless Hub cannot afford to buy access to the innumerable proprietary journals we link to, we do strive, at least, to bring the knowledge of this content to our users.
Furthermore, the Homeless Hub is committed to the principles of open access and we provide free access to all original Homeless Hub content, thus offering our users the ability to re-use and re-distribute scholarly works as long as there is proper attribution to the author. We feel strongly that this serves the broader community by greatly improving the dissemination, visibility, and impact of research findings.
We will endeavour to improve upon our open access principles in order to continue to provide our users with access to the best and most current research available.
Managed Alcohol Programs (MAPs) are a relatively recent addition to the repertoire of harm reduction approaches for persons experiencing severe alcohol dependence. In these settings, clients, who are typically homeless, are provided with a maintenance amount of alcohol while residing in a shelter setting. This case study examines the living experience of a homeless alcohol-dependent client of a MAP in an effort to articulate the process factors related to engagement with this form of treatment. The participant, a 48-year-old white male, participated in a series of qualitative interviews that took place prior to admission, immediately following admission, following re-admission, and after completion of the program over the course of 18 months. A grounded theory approach to data analysis was undertaken. The findings suggest that the primary utility of the MAP was in stabilizing a range of problems such that he was provided with the time, energy, and resources necessary to engage in the critically important task of constructing valued identity, place, and meaning and purpose in life.

Rain, rain, go away. Now they'll have to play another day.
Two winless high school baseball teams, Southold and Port Jefferson, were hoping to pick up their first win Friday morning, but that meant having to get their game against each other in. So, with an ominous weather forecast, the game's starting time was pushed up an hour to 9 a.m. in an effort to beat the weather. It helped, but it wasn't enough. READ


text: One topic of conversation in our ministry household has been the subject of sermon illustrations and where they come from. Both my spouse and I find that people love it when you use real situations from your life to connect the truth with their lives. Sometimes simple things like the grocery checkout line, the traffic, etc. make you seem as common and normal as they are. Other times, there are topics from your family life that bring real life to the sermon topic and conversation. This is always where our children have perked up in the sermon series. They always wanted to know if they were "in this week's story." It was never a competition among them, just the cherry on top, so to speak. However, there are times when the pastor/speaker runs out of good connections to the audience. I know our family has always been like the litmus paper of the authenticity of the pastor's illustrations. They will honestly confirm or deny that "nugget of truth or life situation." Our family hat has become an accountability point for my ministry spouse. If the illustration won't fly past our family, it probably will not fly. How about your household? Do you play a part in how the story unfolds and life is lived out from the pulpit illustrations? What if you are running dry with ideas? Where do you go?

First of all a huge thank you to everyone who has joined us for courses so far this year. Our students come from all parts of the world and all walks of life and I believe we have the best job in the world. To work with our highly motivated students who may be complete beginners in the French language, intermediate students looking to consolidate their language skills or make that leap to the next level or maybe French teachers in their own countries participating in a refresher course is a real pleasure and we appreciate you all. From a coolish June this year July turned out to be hot and steamy and, we thought, perfect conditions for visiting the breathtaking lavender fields on the plateaux of the Alpes de Haute Provence.
Oh dear! Yes, the lavender was at its peak but the day of our first visit we had monsoon like rain and the magnificent lavender turned out to be a bluish haze! Perfect Cezanne painting! However undaunted we visited again the following week and saw sights that really take your breath away. When we visit this stunning area about 20 minutes drive from St Saturnin we try and include a visit to the little town of Banon, well-known for its cheeses and also for its bookshop, Le Bleuet, one of the acclaimed independent bookshops in France. It provided a wealth of teaching materials for French teachers Duncan and Laura to take back to Canada and the UK. Talking of painting… one of our really enjoyable excursions this season has been a visit to the Carrières de Lumière at Les-Baux-de-Provence where the projected images around the theme of painters of the Mediterranean has been a true delight. The exhibition coincides with exhibitions in Aix-en-Provence and Marseille to coincide with Marseille as a European city of culture this year and is a very special experience. At the same time we've managed to squeeze in visits to Glanum, the site of a Roman town on the edge of St Rémy de Provence and for the shoppers with us St Rémy itself is also a welcome stop (for the non-shoppers the little cafés along the leafy boulevard around the town provide a perfect opportunity for a cool drink and some people watching!) Our village really came to life in June and July and students joined holiday makers from all over the world for 'le village en fête'. There is a fantastic open air swimming pool in St Saturn in, weekly concerts, theatre, lectures and markets. Something for everyone. During the first weekend of August every year St Saturnin has its 'fête votive', the annual village celebration which lasts from Friday to Monday. The highlight of the weekend is a fantastic concert with live music and dancing late into the hot Provençal night in one of the village squares. And, as so often happens with markets and celebrations in France, by the next morning you'd hardly know anything had happened. The village is neat and tidy and people are going about their normal business.
We are now taking a short break before our autumn courses start again on 9 September. We still have places available so come and join us at this mellow time of year. The light is golden, the weather glorious and the tourists fewer in number. We are refreshed and waiting for you. Just get in touch if you would like more information. Our French Immersion Courses include morning tuition, accommodation, lunches, excursion and many other elements. Afternoon classes are optional and are offered as one-to-one sessions. Great if there are particular language points you would like to raise with your teacher or if you have specific needs in your language learning, for example a particular set of language skills for a job. We also continue to offer our Individual Immersion courses. Do remember that our courses offer scope and possibilities for learners of different levels and with different goals in mind. These days we are delighted to welcome a new generation of French learners. Over the last few years many of those who have joined us have been at the beginning of their professional lives and have been interested in improving their language skills to improve job opportunities. For a very personal view of a language course with Language In Provence do have a look at the article written by the wonderful Australian artist Nellie Crawford who joined us for a four week course last autumn. She has written about her experiences in "The West Australian' – just follow this link:http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/travel/a/-/travel/13126756/brush-with-provence Look forward to hearing from you….

I'll just put it out there: Sam Harrison is one of my favorite people, full stop. Here's a little Q&A with Sam to help you get to know him better before he presents two big sessions at HOW Design Live—at the HOW Design Conference and the InHOWse Managers Conference.
When did you first realize you wanted to enter a creative industry?
My mother was a theater major, tap dancer and banjo player. So when I was a little kid, she would round up my playmates and me once or twice a week for what she called an Expressions Session. We would crowd into her tiny music room for songs and poems, dance steps and theater skits. At first we hated being pulled away from hide-and-seek and ballgames, but over time we looked forward to the sessions. And I eventually developed an everlasting love for all things creative.
How have you applied your creativity to business over the years?
Hey, applying creativity to business is a great career path for anybody too lazy to work and too restless to sit still. I've been in branding, creative services, event planning, product development, consumer catalogs and marketing communications, to name a few directions. And I've worked with clients and affiliates such as NFL, Major League Baseball, Hallmark, John Denver Environmental Groups, Hasbro and American Express.
During the last several years, I've focused on helping people express and expand their creativity. I speak and provide workshops, write books and articles and teach at Portfolio Center, a graduate-studies program for creatives. (Editor's note: Check out Sam's HOW books, IdeaSpotting and IdeaSelling.)
If you weren't in this field, what would you be doing?
I liked the answer Glenn John Arnowitz gave about being a dog. Especially if I could be a dog in the Bryn and Rob Mooth household—heck, your dog even gets a travel allowance, right? (Editor's note: Peroni gets to go on roadtrips, but she doesn't, you know, get any money.)
But I think I would also being a chef. Or a photojournalist. Or a museum director. Or Charlie Rose—what a great job he has, getting to interview the best and brightest people each and every day.
Can you tell us a little more about your Conference general session?
A key reason designers flock to the HOW Conference is because it gives opportunities to recharge creative batteries and load up fresh inspiration. So my session is designed to do just that—provide energetic inspiration to help participants fire neurons and boost creativity. We'll have lots of fun and jump-start the first morning of the conference.
And you're also speaking at the inHOWse Conference?
That's right—I'll be talking about how designers and in-house teams can better present and sell their ideas to bosses and internal clients. Good ideas definitely don't sell themselves—in fact, the bolder and fresher the idea, the more it needs selling. We're asking decision makers to let go of the status quo and grab something new and probably risky for them. This takes selling—and my session provides tips and techniques to make that happen.

I AM (flirting with) IRON MAN: Gwyneth Paltrow
|"Iron Man" opens worldwide this week
With "Iron Man" arriving in theatres this week, the writers, actors, and director responsible for Marvel's latest big-screen adventure met with members of the press last weekend for a series of roundtable interviews in which CBR took part. We published earlier our latest interview with director Jon Favreau, followed by another conversation with star Robert Downey, Jr., and we bring you now a chat with Gwyneth Paltrow, who plays Pepper Potts in the movie.
The session began with a question about whether Paltrow's husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, had given her Iron Man comics to prepare for the role, as has been rumored. "That's totally fabricated," the actress confirmed. "I know don't know where that's from. So many people have asked me this question, and I'm like, noooo, I have no idea where that's from."
Paltrow said she had not read Iron Man comics before taking the role. "I asked Marvel to send me comics that they thought would best — because there's a lot of books, and obviously I couldn't read forty years worth of comics," she explained. "They sent me a couple of big binders, and a lot of them were very old comics that they had Xeroxed, a lot of them partial bits of comics that they thought were important, and then some of the later ones that I would read the whole thing. It was very interesting — Pepper had a lot of different hair styles [and] colors, outfits — she made quite a transition over the years."
Asked about Pepper's "classic" aesthetic and how that informed Paltrow's role as a character who had been around since the 1960s, the actress agreed the "Iron Man" romance has ties to older films. "When Jon [Favreau] explained to me how he saw the relationship between Pepper and Tony, he described it as that sort of 1940s comedy, the screwball comedies, and that he really wanted that kind of reparteee. So I didn't look to one specific film for inspiration but I think growing up watching all those films it was a world that I understood and sort of pulled different things from. And I really like the texture of their relationship. And I love that time, too, it's such an innocent yet sexy time, so it was really fun to recreate that."
|Scene from "Iron Man"
She continued by discussing the complex nature of Pepper's relationship with Tony. "What I think is different about it is that it's complicated. They have so many dynamics. She's his assistant, and so he is her boss. And he's a very powerful, serious guy. So there's that dynamic. But then she's also his Jimminy Cricket in a way, and she keeps trying to sort of pull him back to center. And there's also a bit of mothering tenderness she has for him where she's worried about him. And then there's also a kind of sexual kick to it all. That's what I loved about it, because there was so much that was kind of real. And fun, and it wasn't just one note."
As to Pepper Potts' other love interest in the comics, Paltrow said she is aware the source material has her character married to Happy Hogan, played in the film by director Jon Favreau. "I don't know if that's something [Favreau will] want to develop at a later point in another movie or not," she said. "You never know — we'll see. If he wants to make out with me, maybe he will."
|Scene from "Iron Man"
Paltrow confirmed she will be involved in any sequels should "Iron Man" be successful enough to warrant them. "When we signed on for 1, we signed on for 2 and 3. They like to kind of scoop you up for the whole thing all at once," the actress said. "I would be totally thrilled if there was another one, basically because my work experience was such fun and the people involved were so talented. It's not sort of your run of the mill superhero movie, in a way — the talent is so incredible. And everyone's so nice, too. Sometimes you work with people who are talented but they're tricky people. These guys were so nice to be around and I just had such a good time. So if it doesn't bomb, I'll do another one."
This is not to say, though, that after "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" and now "Iron Man," Paltrow will commit to a career of genre films. She chooses her projects based on the other talent involved. "I have an affinity for working with people that I think will be inspiring, and that can be any genre," she said. "If it was a horror film, but it was by Martin Scorcese — I would do anything. Maybe porn I would skip. But other than that I'm kind of open to anything." Paltrow later said she would like to do a musical, but that there is not one in particular that she knows by heart.
|Scene from "Iron Man"
Noting she has slowed down her acting career since becoming a mother, Paltrow said the opportunity to join the cast of "Iron Man" happened at just the right time. "I was home, and I was very happy being home, and then when my son was about six months old I began to feel the urge to start work again. But I thought, no, I can't work until he's a year, because I'd given my daughter all this time at home so I wanted to do the same for him. Then, just about the time it was a year, Jon called me and told me about the project and who was involved, and explained the characters and what it was going to be like — and the scenes were going to be good acting, fun scenes. And he said that it's going to be a good movie. It's going to be entertaining, kind of summer movie, but it will be good, 'I promise you. I make good movies and it's going to be good.' So it was really that, it just all happened at the right time. And I had always wanted to work with Robert, ever since I was little. And Jeff Bridges is like, if you're an American actor he's like God. How do say no to that group of people? It's impossible."
Asked if there is anyone who helps keep her life together the way Pepper does for Tony, Paltrow said she is able to handle things on her own. "I try to be very organized, I'm a Libra so if things go off balance they go really off balance, so I try to maintain balance and for me that's like knowing where everything is, what everyone's doing, having all the doctors' numbers," she said. "I think that's just women, though, isn't it? We're the brains of the house, the multitaskers."
Paltrow was then asked which of her movies she would show to her own children. "Probably 'Emma' and 'Sky Captain' they could see. But I don't choose movies because of them," the actress said. "When I work, that's the part of my life that's for me. I give to them all day every day, and when I work that's time to kind of recharge as an artist and feel inspired and do something that's interesting, so that I feel nourished as a woman, as an artist, as a person, and then I can bring that back home.
|Scene from "Iron Man"
"It's really interesting to be a mother and to watch imaginations develop, and to see kind of innately what your kids gravitate towards. My son will be an 'Iron Man' fan, I'm sure, he's chopping everything down with swords and running around like a maniac. He's very testosterone-fuelled, so I'm sure he's going to be into comics. My daughter is very imaginative, and she likes to sit for hours, and she creates her own worlds, and she loves to be read stories and she absorbs everything. So I'm sure she'll be more into fairy tales and novels and that sort of thing."
Paltrow also said that while Pepper Potts is a strong female character, this was not necessarily a factor in accepting the role or how she decided to play it. "It's funny, because whenever I approach something I never approach from, externally, how will this be perceived or what can I do to affect the perception. I really do it from the inside out. Before I work every day, I say a little prayer, and I hope that in some way whatever I do today illuminates something for someone or is inspiring, or they get something out of it, so it's not just, the process isn't just me doing my own thing for my own sake. I try and bring something into the world. I do think, retrospectively, looking at Pepper, that she's a very good woman. She's very smart, she's very level headed, very grounded. And I like the fact that there's a sexuality that's not blatant. I think it's lovely."

UK law after the referendum.
Much has been written in the last few days (and, indeed, over the last few months) about the potential consequences of the repeal of 1000s of EU-originated laws in the UK. Most of it is an exaggeration because (1) most EU-originated laws are unlikely to be repealed, and (2) any repeals are unlikely to happen for many years (long after the UK leaves the EU).
The UK government will try to stabilise the economy and protect jobs and will start to develop a plan about how it will trade with the EU and the rest of the world (whether joining the EEA or EFTA, establishing a customs union, relying on the WTO treaty, being "duty-free", or something else). That plan will be partially formulated in the Conservative leadership contest over the next few months, as different candidates put forward different visions for the UK.
As a result, the referendum has created a "once in a lifetime" opportunity for companies operating in the UK. Almost every law could be repealed or replaced. Not just EU-originated laws.
Companies operating in the UK have an opportunity to influence (1) which laws will be repealed or replaced and (2) the priorities in which laws will be repealed and replaced (because those at the back of the queue probably will not be considered for a decade, given the volume of legislation).
The UK government will be keen to show that it is implementing the "will of the people", and that it is taking active steps to improve the competitiveness of the UK economy, whilst at the same time not taking drastic action to disrupt the legislative and regulatory framework in a way that would prevent the UK from being able to reach a trade deal with the EU. Waiting two years for the exit from the EU will not be an option. The UK government will need to start to act in 2016.
This comes back to the "once in a lifetime" opportunity over the next few months. Companies and trade associations have a "clean sheet of paper" for imagining a new regulatory environment, better legislation, different trading relationships, etc. The UK government will be looking for new ideas and ways to enhance competitiveness. This is particularly the case for the UK's main exports (such as financial services, cars, machinery, etc).
This "blue sky" thinking will require a detailed understanding of the existing laws, what has worked and not worked in other countries, and the ability to imagine. Morgan Lewis can help you.
For more than three decades, Morgan Lewis has represented companies and institutions doing business in the United Kingdom and globally. Our Brexit team of lawyers have been advising clients on a variety of legal issues in the run up to the decision and are assessing the complex short- and long-term implications of the June 23 vote. Our Brexit Resource Centre will continue to provide guidance on the legal and business implications of the United Kingdom's decision to leave the union.

The CDCE9xx is soldered on the PCB for best performance; therefore, it is necessary to specify the desired device when ordering the EVM. The assembly of the EVM is slightly different for each member of the family. However, the basic functionality remains the same. The CDCE949EVM, CDCE925EVM, and the CDCE913EVM will be available in summer 2007. The CDCEL9xx version will follow later.

thus, XX equals 20, XV equals 15, VI equals 6. If a letter is immediately followed by one of greater value, the first is subtracted from the second;
thus, IV equals 4, XL equals 40, CM equals 900. Examples: XLVII(=47), CXVI(=116), MCXX(=1120), MCMXIV(=1914). Roman numerals may be written in lowercase letters, though they appear more commonly in capitals.

Optimizing graphics is the technique by which a Web graphic designer reduces a graphic's file size for acceptable download times, but maintains the highest quality image he or she can produce.
Optimization is all about reducing an image's file size. The file size can be reduced by getting rid of graphical information, preferably the unneeded information, such as extra white space that surrounds an image. One way to reduce file sizes is to reduce image size—with fewer pixels, there's less information and the file is smaller.

Press Release: Galapagos live-aboard Nortada to start operations on Feb 20, 2015
By Nortada, Feb 13 2015 11:48AM
Puerto Ayora, Feb 10, 2015
Starting February 20, Galapagos liveaboard vessel Nortada is set to start operating regular liveaboard departures in the Galapagos Islands. Nortada's Galapagos National Park operations permit for year 2015 was issued on Feb 9th. Permit duration is of 15 years, renewed annually. The liveaboard vessel will have regular 7 and 14 night departures with itineraries to Wolf and Darwin for 8 guests.
Dive operations are run by Tip Top Diving (www.tiptopdiving.com), a premiere PADI Dive & Training Facility in the Galapagos Islands. According to Mahauad (owner of Tip Top Diving), "the small group setting of Nortada creates a very special environment to our customers. In addition to the benefits of running private charters in a very familiar environment, Nortada offers unique benefits such as full rebreather and technical diving support and photo – video or other interest oriented departures."
According to Mahauad, "Nortada will operate with two dive masters, diving off two tenders with 4 guests each, a feature that will make diving much safer, more enjoyable and tailored to the customers' needs. All other Galapagos liveaboard vessels operate with one dive master for 8 people, we will have one every four, he said.
This Divemaster to diver ratio is an industry first. In addition, Nortada carries 5 crew members on board (not including the dive masters) a ratio that matches that of luxury liveaboards worldwide. However, the objective is not to provide a luxurious option but rather to maximize diving, dive safety and the ability to provide interest (or need) tailored Galapagos diving live aboard experiences.
Nortada will be running charters and regular guaranteed FIT departures all year round. Dive itinerary visits world famous Wolf and Darwin Islands, these are Galapagos crown jewels and the places where you can consistently see hundreds of schooling hammerhead sharks cruising overhead while packs of Galapagos sharks wonder very close... and all the sudden a bus sized whale shark appears out of the blue.
Nortada also visits Cape Marshall, Manta ray city and Puerto Coca places that allow encounters with giant manta rays and other pelagics. Dives at Roca Redonda, Cousin Rock, Pinzon and Punta Carrion offer a varied environment to play with sea lions, observe the elusive red lipped batfish, schools of eagle rays, etc.
In addition the dive itinerary, there are also land visits to Bartolome Island, Seymour or Plazas Islands and the Charles Darwin Research station. These are prime land visit spots. In selected 15 day departures, Nortada also offers dives at Cape Douglas, Punta Vicente Rocafuerte and Marchena Island.
