Fermentation and civilization are inseparable.
-- John Ciardi (Page 9 paragraph 1)
Importance: This says it all… this is the entire premise of the book captured in a quote from Ciardi, an American poet (1916-86).
… although the origins of this ancient drink inevitably remain shrouded in mystery and conjecture, there is no question that the daily lives of Egyptians and Mesopotamians, young and old, rich and poor, were steeped in beer.
-- Tom Standage (Chapter 2 paragraph Page 23)
Importance: It is the author's conclusion from the evidence available that beer was an integral part of the cultures of the first great ancient civilizations.
To rich and poor alike hath he granted the delight of wine, that makes all pain to cease.
-- Euripides (Page 48 paragraph 1)
Importance: The Greeks connected wine with the Gods. In his comment, playwright Euripides makes a reference to Dionysus, the god of wine, who made wine available to everyone - not just the wealthy.
With its carefully calibrated social divisions, its reputation or unparalleled cultural sophistication...

Sadness for Sports Fanatics
The first time a client came into my office, explaining that he was feeling depressed after his favorite hockey team had lost a championship game, I thought he was either exaggerating, or being sarcastic. But he was serious, and over the course of the hour he explained his feelings of loss, despair, irritability, anger, and his inability to focus at work (all common symptoms of depression). I thought, what a rare and unusual case!
Not long after the session, I was taking with another clinician at the practice, and she was telling me how she was having the same depression symptoms–in response to the same game!
It turns out that experiencing the blues after a sports-related defeat is a common experience for sports enthusiasts, and for some the symptoms can be shockingly painful.
Are you feeling down after a sports-related loss? Here are 4 strategies for beating those blues:
1. Take a Step Back
The networks do a great job before a game, especially a championship game, to make it sound like the most important thing that has ever happened in the history of mankind. Of course, they never say "and remember, it's just a game."
This, in combination with the fact that you're a huge fan of your team, makes the situation a very emotionally charged event. There's the thing: when something is emotionally charged, it looks and feels a lot bigger that it really is. Yes, your team lost–and that sucks. But 99.9% of the things in your life are unaffected and unchanged. Taking a step back will give you a broader perspective to put this loss in it's rightful place (a place that won't ruin your week).
Tip: list things in your life that aren't related to the sports team, specifically things that are going well. For the moment, ignore any areas that aren't going great (If you're feeling depressed, you'll have a tendency to focus on things that are not going well. Fight this!)
List things that bring you happiness. Examples: where you live, the season of the year, your favorite movie, your friends, your family, your health, things you like to do, your job, even OTHER sports teams that you're crazy about (isn't there a new season starting soon)?
As you 'take a step back' you'll begin to see that the sports event is a small part of your life's big picture, and it shouldn't have any power over how you feel.
2. Stay Social
People who are feeling down or depressed have a tendency to isolate themselves. Also, if the sports season is over, you might be lacking that scheduled time to get together with friends to hang out and watch the game.
Social withdrawal only makes one's mood worse. So make an effort to keep your social life strong, even if you don't think you're feeling up for it.
3. Fill The Void
If you're a die hard fan and the season is finished, you're going to notice a post-season void. Fill the mental and emotional space with something else. Find something else you'll enjoy; some project, hobby, group, or event to get involved in.
- Plan a ski trip.
- Join a dart league.
- Start watching another sport
It doesn't matter. Just do something!
4. Talk About It
Talking about your sports-fan blues with a friend will help you to process the disappointment that you're feeling. Commiserate with other fans who are having some of the same feelings. It can help just to know that people care (and they do), and to be reminded that you're not alone.
Pretty soon you'll be talking less about the loss, and more about what your team's going to do next year (they're going to crush it, of course!).
5. Wait it Out
"Sports Fan Depression" is probably better described as the "Sports Fan Blues." While the symptoms can match those of depression, and while they can be surprisingly painful and disruptive, they generally have a short 'half life.' In most cases, you'll be feeling better in a few days (to be diagnosed with something like Major Depressive Disorder the symptoms would need to me more longstanding–at least 2 weeks). That said, if it's been a few days and you're not feeling better, or if your symptoms are so severe that they're effecting your sleep, work, or relationships, you might want to consider meeting with a healthcare professional like a professional counselor.
Being Part of a Tribe
Being loyal to a sports team is part of being a member of a tribe. That might be a city you're from, or a university or college you attended, or perhaps you inherited a team–a lot of people are fans of a team simply because their father was a fan, or their grandmother was a fan.
Why do people stick with a team that loses?
The Red Sox went 86 years without getting to a World Series. People lived their entire lives and didn't see a victory. But, if you're in Boston, what are you going to do? Forsake the Sox and Become a New York Yankees fan? No way! While Benedict Arnold would change sides, you never know what's going to happen. It seems that every year at least one team that's favored does awful, and a team with low expectations has a record-breaking season. You never know what's going to happen; so stick with your team 🙂

Reinventing the Spin Cycle: Whirlpool Brand Unveils Industry's Most Efficient Laundry Pair
Nearly a decade after introducing front-load laundry to the U.S., Whirlpool brand is again poised to revolutionize the game of laundry with 6th Sense™ Technology
Oct 14, 2010, 09:21 ET
BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Almost 100 years young, Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE : WHR ) has introduced many of the country's household firsts including the automatic washing machine. This legacy provides a singular focus that drives innovation and technology with purpose that not only leads to greater resource efficiency and superior performance but also makes consumers' lives easier. Whirlpool brand, flagship of the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of home appliances, continues to build on its mastery of efficiency and innovation with the launch of the industry's most resource efficient laundry pair(1) – the premium front-load Duet® washer and dryer.

With new energy and water efficiency requirements for household appliances on the horizon, Whirlpool brand – in conjunction with its Institute of Fabric Science – created a laundry pair that not only meets, but exceeds government standards to help consumers conserve natural resources and save money.
To do so, the washer uses as little as 11.5 gallons of water per load and exceeds the minimum federal energy standard set for selling appliances by more than 160 percent, on average. The washer's EcoBoost™ option takes the guesswork out of efficiency by reducing the water temperature and increasing agitation duration so the decrease in the one (temperature-thermal) is offset by the increase in the other (tumbling-mechanical) to deliver the same results while using less water and energy.
The pair not only keeps clothes looking new longer with gentle wash and dry actions(2), but also saves as much as $3,300 in lifetime energy costs.(3) And, for every household that uses the new Whirlpool® Duet® laundry pair, 12,857 gallons of water could be saved every year.(3) If all households in the United States – 114.8 million according to the U.S. Census – used the new laundry pair for a year, the country could save 1.47 trillion gallons of water per year.
"As the industry's most resource efficient brand, Whirlpool is dedicated to delivering products that provide superior energy and water savings coupled with exceptional performance," said Wes Pringle, vice president brand business teams, Whirlpool Corporation. "Now, nearly 10 years after the introduction of front-load technology to the United States with the first Duet laundry pair, Whirlpool brand is leading the way again with the introduction of the industry's most efficient laundry pair—the new premium front-load Duet® washer and dryer."
Through Whirlpool brand's exclusive 6th Sense™ technology, intelligent tools that sense and manage what was once beyond a user's control, the laundry pair provides ultimate cleaning, gentleness and efficiency. For example, the pair's built-in suite of Laundry Apps includes features like Stain Assist and Hints & Tips that give practical advice on stains and other everyday laundry questions. Combined with the washer's easy-to-fill liquid detergent reservoir, which can hold up to 36 loads in one fill(4), the Whirlpool® Duet® premium washer senses load conditions and manages the precise release of each additive at the right time during the cycle for optimal fabric care and cleaning.
The new premium front-load Duet® washer and dryer will be available at national retailers later this year with an MSRP starting at $1,099.
With nearly 100 years of practice, Whirlpool Corporation knows a thing or two about household chores. This expertise led to the creation of the Whirlpool Institute of Fabric Science, an informational hub for everything laundry. Additionally, the institute offers daily tips, tricks and advice to consumers via Twitter and Facebook. For more information on Whirlpool brand please visit www.whirlpool.com

So I was in London for 5 days, basically to see Metallica in Wembley stadium which was on Sunday, London is almost an exact opposite of Edinburgh, its wild, chaotic , exciting all the time, and the weather , compared to Edinburgh, is heavenly.
I am seriously considering applying for jobs here as well, its just cool :). Don't take me wrong, Edinburgh is very cool, but really I am really tired of being sick here, the weather is so unstable, so humid, and so unpredictable that it gets you.We are in July and it feels like winter in Lebanon, no even worse. It gets on your nerves after a while.Imagine, me , a Person coming from the middle east, got sun burned when I came to London and sat in the park for some hours(just to show how for the last 10 months I barely saw the sun).
Anyway, what was I doing in the park?Well… It wasn't any park, it was the famous Hyde park to be specific, and I was basically having a beer laying down on the grass watching the tour de France time trials on a Big screen while the cyclists were rotating around the park.It was a festival there as well, all sports and cycling oriented, including French food and merchandises and some greasy, unhealthy but very yummy English food :P. I even tried things called churros …YUMMY.
London's transport system is cool, specially the underground is efficient, a bit expensive (like everything else in London), and gets packed at peek hours pretty badly, you would laugh when you see people stacked in inside like sardines.
Generally people there are okay, not as friendly as people in Edinburgh, but its to be expected from a big city with over 7 million people, its also so mixed; Edinburgh seems like China with some Scottish, Greek and other minor tourists, its sometimes annoying that its not very mixed, well its to be expected from a city mainly built around its University and where its well know within China.bleh.
Now a very important thing, since London is more mixed, women are from all around the globe, its also a trendy city which means there is a lot of different type of beauty and they all keep up with fashion, and they take care of themselves much more than people in Edinburgh do. I will make a comparison between the two cities soon.
Generally it was kinda fun there, but since I was alone I didn't enjoy it as much as I could, and I only had 3 full days to take advantage of, its very very expensive, if you want to go think triple at least for everything in Lebanon (I had 26 pounds Steak,thought…it was the best steak I ever had…). Oh and if you ever want to go there, don't be cheap with the hotel… I went to a cheap hotel, Called Queens Hotel, WHAT A DISASTERRRR…cracked walls, and basic stuff aren't found there, they don't give you the typical bathroom stuff like shampoo , not even a damn TOWEL, and there is an old lady at the reception who was very very rude, I arrived at 10:30 pm and I was dead tired, I asked if they serve any food she replied in a rude way:" just don't go there, we only serve Breakfast in here". So I went in to put my stuff and on my way out, I asked again to confirm if they stay 24 hours on the reception: she replied also in a rude way: "I already told you the first time". So what ever you do, don't go to Queens Hotel 33 Anson Road next to Tufnell Park, oh and btw it was not that cheap… 227 pounds for 4 nights in a shitty place…not cheap at all…the room was barely half my own room in here.The Tv had 4 channels, One day I had to shower in very cold water, there was a boiler next to my room and it was very noisy, there were no insect grill on the windows, so I couldn't open the window and it was hot like hell…
Anyway, Enough of the bad things…METALLICA WAS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE … They rocked Wembley Stadium, there were thousands of people, The stadium is huge and they played only old songs not from the St Crap Album, and on top of that they said they are coming next year and with a new album :).

180. But should it be?
(Mr McPhie) It should be less prescriptive certainly.
181. Earlier you were talking about being fairly
happy with the current mix.
(Mr McPhie) Yes.
182. If nuclear is phasing out, do you think
coal should be replacing the nuclear or are you worried if gas
replaces the nuclear?
(Mr McPhie) What we saw as the desirable mix going
forward was about one third gas, one third coal and one third
nuclear and renewables.
183. You would see a regeneration of the nuclear
to fill the gap.
(Mr McPhie) Yes, together with the clean coal.
(Mr Godfrey) Or renewables. The one thing you do have
with that mix is flexibility and the one thing coal does offer
you is flexibility, as we have seen over the last 12 or 18 months
where coal has picked up increased levels of generation. Had it
not been there, that would have inevitably gone to gas and there
would have been even further price reaction on gas. Because of
the substitutability for mid merit plants, you can increase levels
of coal burn and decrease levels of gas. One of the very few tunes
you can play within the energy supply scene, because you cannot
change the fuel into your boiler at home or the petrol you put
in your car particularly easily, and nuclear is running flat out
at base load so that cannot help at all in any supply disruption,
so one of the very few options and flexibilities you have within
the energy systems is the substitution of coal and gas within
the electricity market.
184. One of the new technologies for vehicles
is hydrogen fuel. My understanding is that the only two ways in
which significant quantities of hydrogen could be produced is
either through nuclear power or through coal. Is this something
you have looked into?
(Mr McPhie) It is something we are aware of. We have
not examined it in any depth. Yes, we could see it as a future
use for coal as part of the move towards a hydrogen economy.
(Mr Godfrey) It is part of the transition to clean
coal technology. You start off with the IGCC, the integrated gasification
combined cycle. You can then take carbon sequestration. You can
take the production of hydrogen for the hydrogen economy. It is
a long-term view but if you do not start the first step you do
not get to the end of it. The first step is what we are talking
about in terms of the clean coal technology today and the need
to demonstrate some of those technologies. Start working down
that track to get you towards the ultimate of perhaps a hydrogen
economy in however many years' time.
185. The other issue which is very relevant
at the moment is that the Government has awarded significant compensation
claims to certain types of mining related injuries. Are those
sicknesses recurring? In other words, I simply do not know how
they work. Is it such that if mining is to continue, those sicknesses
will be recurring, or are there now remedies which in the future
would mean that compensation would not have to be payable?
(Mr McPhie) The conditions underground have improved
dramatically over the course of the last 20 or 30 years when most
of those claims were incurred.
186. So we are talking about an historic event
rather than something which will be
(Mr McPhie) Yes, essentially.
187. There are one or two particular things
I am not quite clear about. When you talk about one third, one
third, one third, one of those being coal, what does that represent
in terms of your anticipation of coal demand in order to satisfy
one third?
(Mr McPhie) The current market for ESI coal is around
50 million tonnes and coal has about a 35 per cent share of the
market generation. You are probably talking about 45 to 46 million
tonnes as being the ESI market. Then there will be an industrial
and domestic market on top of that. You are looking at something
just north of 50 million tonnes.
188. We are seeing increases in demand for coal
at present this year compared to last and you are anticipating
the year ahead to be an increase again. On the strength of what
you were saying, it sounded as though you were not anticipating
that increase would be met by indigenous sources of coal. What
is the reason it cannot be met in that way? Is it because there
is insufficient flexibility in production? Let us say demand were
to fall to 30-35 million tonnes, does it follow that indigenous
supplies would meet all of that, or are there some economics concerned
with inland power stations versus those on coastal sites?
(Mr Rostron) It would be purely price driven. If that
were to happen today, we could match imported coal prices tonne
for tonne. If we look back from 1996 through to 1999 we would
struggle to match imported coal prices. Earlier this year we could
beat imported coal prices by 25 per cent. The world coal market
is very volatile.
189. I am with you up to a certain point. I
understand that. Does your answer not imply that if one were to
seek to try to create a mix with one third coal generated electricity,
if world prices were to change in an adverse way for UK producers,
it would not necessarily be met by indigenous supplies even to
the extent that it is now?
(Mr Rostron) It has to be based on the production
costs without any form of support. Whilst we have made big inroads
into getting the costs of both deep mining and surface mined coal
down, even since 1994, we could improve the levels we are at somewhat.
You cannot compete against dumped coal, if there is a glut of
coal on the world market. We are looking at 400 million tonnes
of traded coal playing 30 million tonnes of coal mined in the
190. Clearly one of the relationships we have
to look at is, as with nuclear, the cost relationship to that
of gas fired generation. What kind of gap is there between your
costs of generation and that of gas as you anticipate it, leaving
out of the count for the moment some of the additional investment
required for clean coal technologies?
(Mr McPhie) What you have seen over the course of
the last 18 months with the higher gas prices moving north of
20p per therm is that the coal fired generation has become competitive
and has taken increased market share. That is into a market with
average electricity prices now perhaps 1.8p per kilowatt/hour.
With the change onto NETA earlier on this year, again the coal
fired stations have fared quite well and coal use is up 17 per
cent in the current year. The coal fired stations are older technology
than the CCGTs. I do not know to what extent it is that, but as
part of their design they have a flatter power curve than the
gas fired power stations, which means that they are actually more
flexible than the CCGTs. When NETA has paid for being able to
guarantee a supply at a particular time, the coal fired stations
have done particularly well out of that. They are more flexible
if they have a flatter power curve.
191. What level of investment would be required
in order to fit the flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) plant and
the nitrous oxide removal equipment onto the existing coal fired
(Mr McPhie) Some of the existing plant already has
FGD. The most recent one having been fitted is at West Burton
and that is at a cost of circa £100-£120 million, but
you would need to talk to the generators to get the exact number
192. Looking forward into clean coal technology,
you have referred to some of the things you want to see and in
particular a demonstration project in effect. When you talk in
your memorandum to us about a structured support programme, what
do you think that looks like? What kind of programme are you looking
for and what kind of resources do you regard as being necessary
in order to commit to that?
(Mr Rostron) You can look at it in a number of ways.
It was mentioned earlier that you could actually have a low carbon
obligation which would encompass the renewables obligation that
we have now. Clean coal would also come under that umbrella and
any other form of generation you might want to bring in; photovoltaics
etcetera. That is purely deciding what level of pence or fractions
of pence per kilowatt hour you are prepared to contribute to a
low carbon level. Currently the renewables obligation is three
pence per kilowatt hour. If the low carbon obligation is three
pence, you could have clean coal and CO2 sequestration, the market
would deliver; provided solely that there are contracts for the
sale of the electricity. You still have to have a payback for
the investment.
193. When we were discussing this morning with
the British Nuclear Industry Forum they were looking effectively
for fiscal measures which would enable them then to compete with
gas fired on the basis of a positive incentive for effectively
carbon free electricity generation. They did not see it in terms
of an obligation. You do see it in terms of an obligation rather
than market-based measures. Why do you take a different view?
Why do you take the view that you do as opposed to relying upon
a market-based measure?
(Mr Godfrey) An obligation is a market-based measure
effectively. It is saying to an electricity supplier that you
have to buy so much of your electricity from whatever source.
At the moment it works for the renewables obligation and they
have to buy a certain amount of their electricity which they sell
on to customers from renewable sources. If they do not do that
and they have a shortfall by any degree, they have to pay three
pence per kilowatt hour, which is then redistributed amongst the
renewable suppliers. It is an encouragement to the renewables
market to build more schemes, to be able to satisfy the requirements
of the obligation. We are advocating a similar approach for clean
coal although clean coal stage one to come in at a premium, rather
than three pence per kilowatt hour but at an obligation premium
of one pence per kilowatt hour.
194. There is quite a significant difference,
is there not, in that an obligation to purchase coal fired electricity
might have quite a different result from a fiscal measure which
is intended to promote carbon free electricity generation since
at least then coal would be in a market with other producers who
are able to do so on a low carbon or carbon free basis? You are
looking in effect for coal to be isolated from other market pressures.
(Mr Godfrey) It is a more focused measure which will
yield you the result you want rather than perhaps finding some
different solution evolves from the market. At the end of the
day the customer is paying a slight premium on electricity for
a certain technology to be developed. Both come down at the end
of the day to the same result. The obligation can be even more
clearly focused than perhaps a carbon tax would be and perhaps
less unpopular.
195. The scenario you paint of one third, one
third, one third sounds to me as though you are trying to manipulate
the market, some sort of ordered market system. Would it be right
for me to reach that conclusion?
(Mr McPhie) If there are no significant changes to
the market as it is currently operating today, then market forces
will tend to deliver that sort of shape. It will not encourage
new forms of generation other than renewable generation forms
going forward. You will get the renewables coming in and they
will be displacing perhaps a nuclear replacement programme. If
you start to introduce other measures, which then cause other
market distortions, then we are suggesting that a clean coal obligation
measure applied in that way would keep the balance of generation
in that split, which gives you reasonable security and diversity
of supplies.
196. In your submission you have identified
the development of ICGG, the integrated gasification combined
cycle power stations, as a potential means of contributing significantly
to both supply security and environmental objectives. To what
extent do you think coal gasification can replace the demand for
conventional gas supplies? Would the gas produced be cheap enough
to substitute for natural gas in electricity generation?
(Mr McPhie) Any of these new technologies are more
expensive than the existing ones. To give a flavour for that difference,
when we were looking at the Kellingley clean coal project, we
were looking at three pence per kilowatt hour as being the cost
there compared with an existing market price for electricity of
1.8 pence.
197. Going back to this carbon sequestration,
I see in your memorandum that you are talking about BP estimating
additional 15 per cent recovery of oil by the use of CO2. Is that
from discussions you have had with BP or something you have picked
up from elsewhere?
(Mr McPhie) It is something we picked up from BP literature.
There are various potential sources for that carbon dioxide.
198. You do not see that coming back up. You
see that being something locked out.
(Mr McPhie) Yes, it gets locked in.
(Mr Rostron) There is no reason why it should not.
The oil has been down there for 150 million years.
199. Do you do much research yourself ? You
have spoken about Kellingley and that research was really part
of the old British Coal work, was it not?
(Mr McPhie) We worked with Texaco and BP at that time
to look at how to design a new clean coal technology power plant.
It was based on a Texaco process which was from Tampa in Florida
and at that time National Power's engineers had a look at the
process flow and said that to make it work as a commercial plant
rather than as a technical demonstration plant would need two
of these units: take out that one, we do not need such and such.
So the plant, design and layout would have been significantly
changed. The majority of the original process designs for clean
coal technologies at Kellingley were principally by Texaco or
NP and it is taking that process flow and then demonstrating that
it will work so someone has something real they can look at.
Chairman: Thank you very much. If we need any
additional information we shall be in touch. Thank you very much
for the help you have given us this afternoon.

But DFSG #4 already allows rebranding requirements. So this is NOT a question of whether the result would directly violate the DFSG. Any form of trademark license for modified code is beyond the minimum required by DFSG.

- The PSK secret, i.e., the password of the IPSsec tunnel, that can be retrieved under Menubar > VPN > IPsec, by clicking on the Edit icon next to the connection, and then looking in the Authentication box.
- The username and password of the L2TP user. The username is retrievable from Menubar > VPN > VPN users, and the user must be allowed to use L2TP.
You should write the above mentioned data down or remember it, since you will have to enter them in the corresponding configuration sections of your device.
Setup of a VPN connection to the Endian UTM Appliance
To configure your Apple device, e.g., iPhone or iPad, you need first to go under General > Network > VPN, then tap Settings and tap on Add VPN connection.
In the configuration window for the VPN connection, carry out the following operations:
- Tap on L2TP.
- Enter a custom description for the connection. This is the name that will be displayed in the list of available VPN connections.
- Enter the IP address or hostname next to Server.
- Tap on Account and enter your username.
- If you want to store your password on the device, tap Password and enter your password.
- Tap Secret and enter your PSK Secret.
When the configuration has been ended, in the VPN menu, slide to ON the VPN switch to start the connection.

More Tequila, please…: Organic nitrogen acquisition in Agave tequilana from endophytic bacteria by oxidative nitrogen scavenging mechanism
by Paolo Di Mascio
Historically, it was thought that plants derived all nitrogen (N) nutrition from the inorganic forms of N, NO3– and NH4+. However, it is now known that the principal form of N entering soils that do not receive inorganic fertilizer is organic N derived from microbial breakdown of organic matter, including amino acids, di and tri-peptides, DNA and proteins. Plants form symbiotic associations with endophytic bacteria

Ford sees '10 profit; risks remain with turnaround
Ford Motor Co posted its first full-year profit since 2005 on Thursday and said it expects to stay profitable in 2010 despite a still-fragile economy and a debt-heavy balance sheet.
But analysts said while Ford also posted a fourth quarter profit that beat Wall Street forecasts, it was supported by volatile financing arm results and Ford may take actions to address a heavy debt load that could dilute its stock.
Ford has confidence in its restructuring plan, but it remains a work in progress and is far from complete, Chief Executive Alan Mulally said on a conference call.
The economy remains soft in many areas of the world and the global auto industry continues to wrestle with excess vehicle capacity, volatile commodity prices, and a fragile supply base, Mulally said.
Chief Financial Officer Lewis Booth told reporters Ford had a lot of work to do on what he called its uncompetitive balance sheet.
We are not kidding ourselves, we know that we still have a lot of debt on our balance sheet, Booth said.
Ford's debt load has left it at a disadvantage to rivals General Motors Co and Chrysler, whose balance sheets were cleansed in government-sponsored bankruptcies in 2009. However, the stigma of those bankruptcies likely helped Ford gain market share from those rivals, analysts said.
GM Chief Executive Ed Whitacre has said he hopes the company would be profitable in 2010, while Chrysler plans on returning to profit in 2011.
Ford gained U.S. market share in 2009 amid the worst U.S. industry sales market in 27 years and expects its share of the U.S. market to stay flat or increase in 2010.
Ford certainly has got great momentum and will continue to have great earnings momentum into 2010, Morningstar analyst David Whiston said. But they do have too much debt and they are going to take actions to reduce that in 2010, some of which will likely require shareholder dilution.
Ford's profits come as rival Toyota Motor Corp <7203.T> is mired in a crisis over faulty accelerator pedals that have led to a massive recall of top-selling vehicles and the suspension of U.S. production and sales.
Mulally said more consumers may look at Ford products because of the Toyota recall.
I think it's going to depend on how this all plays out and how fast Toyota gets this behind them, Mulally said. But clearly with the void right now and people needing vehicles, I am sure that there's going to be even more interest in Ford.
Ford halted production of a diesel commercial van in China after finding the accelerator pedals were supplied by the company at the center of the Toyota recall. Ford said it had no reports of a defect, but would study the pedal.
Toyota's sales freeze could benefit Ford, Honda Motor Co <7267.T> and Hyundai Motor <005380.KS>, Whiston said. Hyundai posted a record quarterly operating profit on Thursday.
Ford posted a $2.7 billion profit in 2009, snapping a three-year streak of losses that totaled $30 billion from 2006 through 2008.
For the fourth quarter, Ford posted a profit of $868 million, or 25 cents per share, compared with a year-earlier loss of $6 billion, or a $2.51 per share. Revenue rose to $35.4 billion from $29 billion.
Operating profit excluding one-time items was 43 cents per share. On that basis, analysts on average expected 26 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
JP Morgan analyst Himanshu Patel said that although Ford's adjusted results were stronger than he had expected, the gain was entirely driven by volatile financial services profits.
Patel said in a note for clients that a lease-related gain in the quarter from Ford Motor Credit Co was driven by gains in used-car values that would prove unsustainable.
Ford reported $3.1 billion of positive cash flow in the fourth quarter from its automotive operations. Ford's total cash burn was $300 million for the year, compared with $19.5 billion in 2008.
The automaker expects positive cash flow in 2010, but does not expect it to be as strong as the second-half cash flow.
Ford ended the year with total automotive debt of $34.3 billion, up from $26.9 billion at the end of the third quarter mainly due to contributions to the retiree healthcare plan for the United Auto Workers union.
From its automotive business, Ford posted pretax operating profits in each of its four regions in the fourth quarter, and a total of $1.07 billion overall.
The 2009 profit allows Ford to make profit-sharing payments to the UAW for the first time since 2004. It previously said it would pay merit increases for U.S. salaried workers.
The Volvo unit, which Ford plans to sell to Geely, had a pretax operating loss of $32 million in the quarter, much narrower than the $736 million loss a year earlier. Ford has not announced a closing date for the sale.
The No. 2 U.S. automaker had cash and marketable securities in its automotive operations of $25.5 billion at the end of 2009, compared with $23.8 billion at the end of September.
Ford repeated its forecasts that it would be solidly profitable in 2011 and U.S. auto industry sales would rise to a range of 11.5 million to 12.5 million units this year including medium and heavy trucks, from 10.6 million in 2009.
Automakers will report January sales on Tuesday, which will also provide a look at what kind of an impact the Toyota sales freeze has had on its sales and its competitors.
GM sales analyst Mike DiGiovanni said on Thursday the automaker expects the industry to post an annualized sales rate of 10.7 million to 11 million units in January.
That would be an increase from the 9.6 million annualized rate in January 2009 and a decline from the 11.2 million unit rate in the last month of 2009.
The automaker's financing arm reported net income of $440 million in the fourth quarter, compared with a $228 million net loss a year earlier. It posted net income of $1.27 billion for 2009, compared with a net loss of $1.54 billion for 2008.
Ford shares fell 14 cents to $11.41 on Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange. Ford stock has jumped nearly six-fold in the past year, and its market cap now exceeds $37 billion.

Human-Centred Education (HCE) respects the whole human beings in all educative processes. HCE radically rethinks the aims of education, the nature of learning and the relationships between students, teachers, school administrators, parents and other stakeholders in the learning community.
Human-Centred Education intends to build a bridge between, on the one hand, the ever-changing principles and policies of state secondary education in England and beyond, and on the other, the myriad forms of alternative or progressive education. HCE is not a simple synthesis of both traditions, instead, we have been both critical and appreciative with regard to different forms of education, whilst recognising that romanticism and cynicism are equal failures to wed vision with reality.
In working on the values and concerns that ideally ought to motivate a secondary educational system, we found that the phrase 'human-centred education' captured the essential meanings at the core of our thoughts, and distilled the innovative practices that we had observed. However, in adopting the phrase of 'human-centred' is by no means to suggest homocentricity. It is therefore important for us to clarify that human-centred education focuses on cultivating those qualities that can be described as human, such as interest, curiosity, care, responsibility, persistence and so forth.
National education policies tend to ignore deeper educational processes, such as the cultivation of qualities that are central to living meaningfully and well, because they solely focus on high-stakes testing of academic performance. In this way, HCE provides an effective antidote to an obsession with testing, and brings to the fore a holistic well-being oriented approach without sacrificing educational standards and school's interests in academic excellence. In fact, as our current pilot case study shows, the more a school adopts a human-centred approach to teaching and learning, the more the students can aspire to unfold their holistic potential.
For more information on how to integrate Human-Centred Education in your schools or learning centres, please contact us.
For more on Human-Centred Education, please see the books on Human-Centred Education.

Swingers 2008
A guide to the swing states and swing voters.
Between now and Election Day, Slate writers are surveying the geography and demography of the states and voters that will decide this year's presidential election. Colorado is becoming more Democratic—will it enough to help Obama? Can McCain take back New Hampshire, which voted for Kerry, and hang on to Ohio, the state that put President Bush over the top in 2004? We'll also examine the differences between a swing voter and a swing state, and profile some voting blocs that could prove pivotal.

Last week if you noticed in your WordPress you should see a message saying "WordPress 2.7 is available! Please update now." That is correct, version 2.7 has been released and you can download it here.
Version 2.7 is a major upgrade to WordPress. Here is a list of new features:
- new interface to make it easier to perform the admin tasks
- customization options on the admin screens
- the ability to reply to comments from the dashboard
- embed support for comments threading
- drag and drop support on some sections
The most useful feature enhancement (i believe) is the automatic upgrade. From now when new versions get released all you will be able to "one click install", and the software will take care of the rest. This make things much easier for upgrading down the road.
Here is a video demonstrating some of the new features that WordPress has to offer.
If we have built your site in WordPress or you have as WordPress blog you would like upgraded contact us to do it for you.

You already know our boards we are testing with, because we have reviewed them all some time ago:
Intel DX58SO, Gigabyte EP45-UD3P and MSI DKA790GX.
We used AMD X2 4850e, X2 7750, Phenom II 720/810 and 940, Intel i7 920, 940 as well as E7200, E8400, Q9450, Q9650 and an overclocked Q9650 @ Q9770. You have to keep in mind that power consumption on our emulated Q9770 is a bit higher due to overvoltaging.
Qimonda 3GB Kit PC3-8500U (provided by Qimonda)
Sadly this company will be gone soon if they don't find any investor, but their memory kit worked very well. This was used for all i7 benches. The kit run at 1067MHz at CL7-7-7-20 with 1.50V.
Kingston 3GB Kit PC3-16000U KHX16000D33K/3GX (provided by Kingston)
Only two modules were used for AMD AM3 platform, running at 1333MHz, CL7-7-7-20 with 1.60V
Kingston 2GB Kit PC2-9600U KHX1200D2K2/2G (provided by Kingston)
Running at 1067MHz CL5-5-5-15 CR2T at 1.90V on all Core2 and AMD DDR2 platforms.
CPU-Cooler: Scythe Andy Samurai Master and Thermalright Ultra 120 eXterme:
As usual our reference cooler Scythe Andy was used for all AMD and Core 2 testing. This model will be replaced by the new "Kabuto" which we will review soon. Because the Andy cooler has not been made for the i7 series, we used the Thermaltight Ultra 120 eXtreme, i7s get very hot.
Harddrive: Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB:
Samsung's F1 is one of the fastest drives out and with prices under €75,- there is no reason not to go for a big drive nowadays.
The rest of our setup has not been touched.
DVD-Burner: Samsung SH-203D
Case fans:
SilenX iXtrema Pro 14dB(A) (provided by PC-Cooling.at)
Cooler Master Stacker 831 Lite (provided by Cooler Master)
Because we don't like the broken OS all tests are performed with XP SP3. While 64bit software is still not very common, we also stick with the 32bit version.

Room Available in Tufnell Park (London)
Hi everyone,
I have a room available (£750 all inclusive) in a 2-bedroom flat in Tufnell Park (Borough of Islington).
The flat is *extremely* spacious by London standards and the neighborhood is residential, beautiful and convenient (supermarket, tube station, gym all super close).
You'd be sharing the flat with me - I'm a 30 year old, post-doctoral researcher at UCL.
As well as my Siamese cat, Kafka - he's very well-behaved and friendly - but if you are allergic to cats it probably would not be wise.
I'm a really easy-going and open-minded person, but I do like to keep my apartment clean.
If you are interested, pop me an message here or email: Protected content
Earliest move-in date would be June 12th. I am ok with short-term lets (i.e. minimum one month at a time).

Liverpool FC legend Robbie Fowler completed a 1,200 mile drive across Europe – and revealed how songs from musicals helped him through it.
The footballing star took part in the European leg of the Gumball 3000 rally with co-driver and ITV children's presenter Anna Williamson as part of Team Betsafe.
He said he was helped through the 25 hour drive, from Stockholm in Sweden to Amsterdam in Holland, by singing along to sings from the shows.
He said: "I like music, it's no secret and I'm not embarrassed about it, but when I told Anna that I like musicals she got her phone out and produced all these songs so we could have a good little sing-song in the car. We were singing Les Miserables, Moulin Rouge – all the classics."
The pair were treated to some special events on the drive, which they started on Sunday and completed on Tuesday.
They visited the Koenigsegg factory in Ängelholm, Sweden to have a ride in one of the 200mph-plus hypercars and drove in convoy with team-mates across the 16km Øresund Bridge between Sweden and Copenhagen.
Fowler said: "One of the highlights was the leg from Sweden to Denmark, that was absolutely sensational.
"I've done so many good things in my life but driving along that bridge yesterday will be lodged in the memory bank for a long, long time. It was like we were filming an action film. It was brilliant."
He added: "This is the first time I've ever done anything like this but it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I'm glad I've done it.
"If you'd asked me whether I'd do it again after I got out the car in Amsterdam, I'd have said no. But now the dust's settled, I'd like to come back next year."
Now the European leg of the rally is complete, about 100 cars and their drivers will transfer to the USA for the second leg.
They will set off from Reno in Nevada and travel to San Francisco and Los Angeles before finishing in Las Vegas.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 873746
make kde-print-manager default
Last modified: 2012-12-20 11:03:48 EST
$summary says it all, let's make kde-print-manager default for kde desktop/spin, means
1. install by default
2. provide plasma init/update scripts to add to systray by default
3. Obsoletes: system-config-printer-kde kde-printer-applet
1 is done only in comps-f19+ so far.
1 done for comps-f18 now too
I think we should really have done 2. first.
kde-print-manager-0.2.0-5.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18.
I had to do another build to add a missing Requires: system-config-printer-libs (kde-print-manager uses the com.redhat.NewPrinterNotification D-Bus service it provides), so:
kde-print-manager-0.2.0-6.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18.
Package kde-print-manager-0.2.0-6.fc18:
* should fix your issue,
* was pushed to the Fedora 18 testing repository,

Climate change is threatening to put wild arabica coffee at risk of near extinction by 2080, a new study shows.
The "moderate" predictions from researchers at Britain's Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew with scientists in Ethiopia show that indigenous arabica plants, a bank of genetic diversity for the cultivated crop, face a "profoundly negative influence" from a warming planet.
"The extinction of arabica coffee is a startling and worrying prospect," said study co-author author Aaron Davis, head of coffee research at the Royal Botanic Gardens.
The researchers looked at three possible emission scenarios over three time intervals -- 2020, 2050 and 2080 -- in 349 localities across south-western Ethiopia, south-eastern South Sudan and northern Kenya:
"Our modelling shows a profoundly negative trend for the future distribution of indigenous Arabica coffee under the influence of accelerated global climate change," according to the study.
The Guardian adds:
The researchers conducted two types of analysis. In the locality analysis, they found that the best outcome was for a 65% fall in the number of pre-existing bioclimatically suitable localities and the worst was for a 99.7% drop by 2080.
In the area analysis, the best outcome was a 38% reduction in suitable growing regions and the worst case was a 90% reduction by 2080.
Davis said the predictions were conservative, since the modelling did not factor in large-scale deforestation now taking place in Ethiopia and South Sudan, another Arabica coffee region.
"The models assume intact natural vegetation, whereas the highland forests of Ethiopia and South Sudan are highly fragmented due to deforestation," the researchers wrote.
"Other factors, such as pests and diseases, changes in flowering times, and perhaps a reduction in the number of birds (which disperse the coffee seeds), are not included, and these are likely to have a compounding negative influence."

Huge win of Kay Proctor's OT solo auditor
From Kay Proctor… Solo auditor.
February 14, 2013
Recent win Solo Auditing…
Let me start by saying that I have always known that I was holding myself back in all ways, but the root source of what or why had never presented itself (as I was not ready to confront it). Everyone that knows me would tell me how powerful I was, yet, I would come back with the caveat, to myself, 'with yeah, but where is the proof. I'm not this; I'm not that' –self-invalidation.
I was recently in a job scenario where I worked for a fellow that was quite volatile with regards to his handling of business, financials, his life – just let his case hang out 99.9% of the time. I was running his office and doing all his financials, and he would constantly invalidate my work – that he could it better, faster, even with his hands tied behind his back.
Each time, I would solo audit some of the charge off and come back with a renewed sense of "I can handle this and make this go-right" – and have many times now. Make it go right is my mantra, no matter what the circumstances (even if it was constant suppression and invalidation?).
This work situation escalated to a point where this fellow was constantly trying to find reasons to let me go. He'd make statements that he'd have the CPA do what I am doing – they could probably do in an hour what I did in my 3-day work week.
Repeated demeaning, invalidating remarks. And each time, I would find a solution and continue on.
I finally reached a point about two weeks ago where I told him to knock it off, that it wasn't okay to keep taking bites out of my ass, but of course, his case was directing him to get rid of me, so he had to justify that decision and continued with more invalidating remarks, insinuating I wasn't working, that I was taking too long, that he could handle much of what I do—always a pins & needles environment, because whatever I did, it was always wrong.
With the help of my mentor and c/s, great TWC, she kept asking me about it the situation and finally the words annihilate popped out. That was "it", he was trying to annihilate me. I knew I had "the item" to go into session.
Def. annihilate: to cause to be of no effect; nullify; to cause to cease to exist; to cause to vanquish completely.
So, I took myself into session and handled with session rudiments times that I was annihilated – to include 'has a withhold been missed' at which time, I realized that every time I had been annihilated, that I had to 'start over' which meant drop the body — a real 'start over'. Take a look at 2D's and all across life. Folks get cross-ways and just divorce (leave whatever), play the same song with a new person or gig – and get the same result or worse. Time & time again.
Start over – this hit me like a ton of bricks. I was rolling myself down the road towards another 'start over' and I wasn't too damn jazzed about that. I had stuff I wanted to do and I was sabotaging myself.
I then looked at times I had annihilated myself – flow 0. Oh my…this was incredibly difficult to confront. It was ugly, brutal, bad outcome every time. Many times I'd have to put my attention back into the incident as I did not want to confront it. Then it blew –this big fat ugly implant.
This is a huge implant on the track. At these times, when we are annihilated (drop the body), we lose our knowledge, our ability to see, hear, as those are learned each lifetime when a new body is picked up. We cannot scream out that 'this isn't okay' as this is what occurs in the between-lives area when we drop the body. We are just there, and if this implant isn't spotted and blown, then it will repeat the same gig in the new life. Duh…
This implant was running like a motion picture. Now that it has blown, I can sit and watch the movie and it is quite fascinating how this had had a strong hold on me for eons. Huge held-down 7. Huge.
It is no mystery why I had not demonstrated my abilities, I couldn't. It had rendered me powerless and caused me to compromise who I am as a being every single moment. I was willing to eat shit this guy was dealing out to me, because of a measly little paycheck – and keep coming back for more, over and over. What a sap.
As much as he was trying to annihilate, I was far busier annihilating myself. So to say that this implant was huge, that does not do the magnitude justice.
But here is the good news. Now, I had the tools to handle it. I can solo-audit. Nowhere this lifetime have I encountered such a bloody traumatic being that restimulated me to such a level, but at this moment, I made it happen because I had a way to confront it. I had the tools to do fix it. Now ain't that just the cat's meow.
I am powerful, pure power laced in the knowledge of how it was rigged to lessen my power. Annihilation is blown from my track.
Now to go dancing…

Lost two kids yesterday
One was a 3 year old who had a severe anaphylactic reaction at an outpatient office. He arrested and at the ER they were able to get a rhythm, but by then there was no brain function. The declared and took him off support yesterday.
The second was a chronic kid on our unit, not even 2 yet with multiple issues including hydrocephalus, cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension. He was sedated and intubated for a procedure and didn't respond well to the sedation- bradycardic, hypoxic, bottomed out his bp. They rushed him to PICU and we worked on him for nearly two hours. Even maxed out of vasoactive medications he could not maintain a pulse or perfusion without compressions and he didn't make it. This was a kid who had bounced between PICU and peds for months. I took care of him just last week- rocked him to sleep on my lap. He was so sweet, but had such a hard life. It was the first code I had been involved in where the patient didn't make it and it was very emotional for all of us.
Then, to top it all off, another one of our babies went bradycardic and hypoxic right at change of shift. He needed to be intubated and required atropine.
Needless to say, none of the day shift nurses left on time yesterday. It was such an emotionally grinding day and I came home and cried for awhile. This wasn't my first loss as a PICU nurse, but it was my first where I had been so involved in the code and the patient's care in the past. I just needed to reach out to those of you whom I know will understand.

My very first job out of nursing school in 1974 was in Neonatal ICU. I remember when I participated in those first codes, especially the ones when the babies didn't make it. Each one was heartbreaking. The night supervisor was never helpful.
When you've had them a while, it's even worse.
There is only so much any one of us can do.
We here know everyone did their very best.
Best wishes.Feb 10, '12Hugs, Ashley. Definitely know how you're feeling and it's hard, it hurts, but it will get better. Keep on keepin' on. You seem like an awesome nurse and your patients are lucky to have someone like you caring for them.Feb 11, '12I'm so, so sorry. I can't even imagine how difficult that must be.
Hugs to you, the parents who lost their children and to those children whom had to endure so much in their young lives.Feb 11, '12:kiss I am so sorry!!! What a crappy day..... You can't help but to cry on days like those. The PICU is a tough place to work. After I had my babies I could no longer work there....I either gave it all at home or I gave it all at work and had nothing left at home. I always took what comfort I could from the time I spent with patients regardless how short to somehow give small parts to comfort their time with us and focus how to give Te family the tools to someday not hurt as much as they do today.
You are a great nurse, it's plain to see from your posts. Grieve and allow yourself to hurt.....for just one day. Then go back and do what you do best.....being you. You will never forget the little things about these patients and it will comfort you along the way....Peace

Product Highlights
The Duet2 from Apogee is a welcome successor to an already well respected portable audio interface, delivering even better sound quality than the original. While the original Duet was FireWire based, the new version uses USB 2.0 and provides respectfully better roundtrip hardware latency performance.
The interface is more than capable of making studio quality recordings of vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, and anything musical. Because of its portability, you are ready to create at any time. And while the high-gain microphone preamps capture performances with clarity, the outputs are also capable of presenting incredible detailed and dimensional sound.
The microphone preamps feature a new design, enhanced components and seamless click-free transitions throughout the 75dB of gain. The preamps are optimized for any sound source, so no matter what's being recorded, it get's captured in every detail. The AD/DA converters are also an all-new design, delivering the purest recordings and best listening experience possible.
A full color, high-resolution OLED display is the main control center for the Duet2, providing visual feedback for multiple functions including metering, numeric value for input and output levels, input grouping, phase, muting, phantom power and Soft Limit indication. The display provides immediate status of the inputs and outputs without having to refer to Maestro or the host recording software.
Stereo headphones or left and right mono speaker outs can be assigned in pairs to output 1-2 or 3-4 or the low latency mixer, and each can be placed in stereo, mono, muted or dimmed modes. It is possible for a DJ to monitor a separate mix in headphones while sending a house mix to the club, a live performer to send a click track to in-ear monitors while sending a backing track to front-of-house, and a recording engineer to send a headphone mix to the performer while dedicating the main outputs to studio monitors.

Received: 07/01/2017 Sent for Revision: 16/01/2017 Received Revised Manuscript:27/02/2017 Accepted: 01/03/2017
Background and Objective: Mothers' attitudes towards the possibility of an accident and its related preventive measures can affect children's injuries. Psychological theories and constructs provide an opportunity to explain how people's attitudes affect their decision making in adoption of a health behavior. This study examined attitudes of women from Jiroft city about prevention of home injuries in children under 5 years through Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) in 2015.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 204 mothers with children less than 5 years were selected from those who referred to health centers of Jiroft in 2015. In this regard, random cluster sampling method was applied. A self-administered questionnaire based on PMT was used to collect information. The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistical methods to investigate the distribution of responses to the questions. Later, one-way ANOVA and independent t-test were applied to observe the relationship between demographic variables and protection motivation.
Results: The age range of mothers was 16 - 49 years. History of domestic injuries was reported in 22.5 percent of participants. It was more than six months that 70.6 % of mothers were implementing safety measures at home. In threat assessment processes, mothers' most important attitudes were related to fear of home injuries (46.6 %); however, in coping assessment processes, it was related to perceived self-efficacy (51.9%).
Conclusion: The results showed that increase of fear and perceived self-efficacy in mothers has a greater role in their motivation to prevent home injuries. This can be considered as an appropriate strategy in planning health promotion interventions.
Key words: Attitude, Prevention, Home injuries, Protection motivation theory, Jiroft
Funding: This research was funded by Jiroft University of Medical Sciences.
Conflict of interest: None declared.
Ethical approval: The Ethics Committee of Jiroft University of Medical Sciences approved the study.

CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and as a professor of biomechanics.
CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system. This system is comprised of the membranes and the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch that is generally no greater than 5 grams (the weight of a nickel), trained practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

It's been an eye candy kind of day on SMP...the variety of pretty that can fit right into a four year old's perfectly pink birthday party, just as it could a wedding, a shower or any other festivity where fun is the main event. So you've seen Audrey's 4th birthday party. You've seen the cute balloon party invitations complete with a free template and 2 color ways. And now, here's the easiest of DIY's ever that actually went from party to dining room table decor pretty instantaneously. Painted gold milk jars turn vases that took me all of about 20 minutes to craft.
Materials Glass milk bottles (found here) or any other glass vase variety Foam Paintbrush Liquid Leaf Gold Paint Newspaper or Paper Towels Instructions *the key to gorgeousness is getting full gold coverage and varying the heights of the gold paint on each vase to make it feel more artisan. 1. Pour liquid leaf into a bowl that you don't mind losing. I used a small white sauce bowl and when I was done with my vases, I painted the complete inside of the bowl where the paint had been which resulted in the worlds cutest little creation. 2. Dip your foam brush in the paint and carefully apply the paint to the jar allowing yourself inconsistencies in the strokes. Aim for full gold coverage in the areas that you do paint. 3. Let dry for 2 hours or so.

Awareness and Preparedness
|KANLAON VOLCANO BULLETIN 08 December 2017 08:00 A.M.
Kanlaon Volcano's seismic monitoring network recorded one (1) volcanic earthquake during the past 24 hours. No degassing activity at the active vents was observed during times when summit crater was visible. Ground deformation data from continuous GPS measurements indicate slight inflation of the edifice since December 2015.
Alert Level 2 status prevails over Kanlaon Volcano, which means that the volcano is undergoing a moderate level of unrest. There is probable intrusion of magma at depth which may or may not lead to a magmatic eruption. The local government units and the public are strictly reminded that entry into the 4-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) is strictly prohibited due to the further possibilities of sudden and hazardous steam-driven or phreatic eruptions. Civil aviation authorities must also advise pilots to avoid flying close to the volcano's summit as ejecta from any sudden phreatic eruption can be hazardous to aircraft. DOST-PHIVOLCS is closely monitoring Kanlaon Volcano's activity and any new development will be relayed to all concerned.
