ISL 2016: Delhi Dynamos F.C. keen towards returning to winning ways
Delhi Dynamos Football Club, the only Hero Indian Super League club representing the North of India, are set to face Mumbai City FC on 18th October in their second home match of the Hero Indian Super League 2016 campaign at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. The Lions will take the field on Tuesday after earning a draw against table-toppers North East United FC on Saturday in a highly entertaining, end-to-end game.
Mumbai City FC sit second on the rankings table with 7 points. They have won two, drawing and losing one of their four games so far. The Alexander Guimaraes-side lost to Kerala Blasters FC 1-0 in their last game and would be hoping to come out all guns blazing.
In the four matches against Mumbai City FC, Delhi Dynamos FC have lost two matches in the first two editions, winning and drawing the other two. Gianluca Zambrotta, Head Coach of Delhi Dynamos FC would be expecting to add some respectability to that stat in the upcoming game, and would look to keep up the good work that his squad has shown in the opening matches.
Richard Gadze and Memo made a return to the starting XI in the last match for the Dynamos, with marquee player Florent Malouda starting at the bench for the second time in three games. The Frenchman had started every game for the Lions last term but the coach said there's nothing serious and the decision was a tactical one. Zambrotta said, "Last year is last year. This year is very different. The decision with Malouda was a tactical one. Malouda is an important player for us, it was a tactical decision. There is no injury."
Delhi Dynamos FC have made a convincing start to the season, picking up a dominant victory over defending champions Chennaiyin FC 3-1 and have played two draws against Kerala Blasters FC and North East United FC, who sit atop the table with 10 points from 5 matches. Delhi Dynamos sit at the third position comfortably, having notched 5 points in their three games.
The defence for the Lions looks solid, having conceded only two goals in their three games. The midfield is clicking well with Marcos Tebar providing brilliant link-up options sitting deep and Milan Singh running hard at opposition to thwart opposition attacks. In the attack, Marcelinho and Kean Lewis are probably the best wing-pair in this Hero Indian Super League and they have created innumerable chances for their strikers Richard Gadze and Badara Badji.
In terms of support, the Delhi Dynamos received their best-ever numbers on Saturday night and would be expecting their fans to come out in higher numbers on Tuesday. The match is expected to be a cracker, with Delhi Dynamos, yet again, expected to control proceedings with a possession-based game-play to stifle the opposition out of the match.

Why does the E-Liquid sometimes change colour?
An e-cigarette is a nicotine delivery system which promotes an alternative way to administer nicotine via a battery, liquid container and coil. The battery unit usually has an in-built lithium-ion battery, which is rechargeable and this powers the device. Entry-level electronic cigarettes have an internal battery but more advanced devices have a removable battery which can be changed once it is no longer holding charge. The liquid holder is usually referred to as a clearomizer or tank and contains a heating element within called an atomizer (coil). This is powered by the battery and heats the E-Liquid which once inhaled produces vapour. For more information regarding each of these components please refer to the specific.
What is the cost?
The costs of electronic cigarettes vary depending on the type. Most beginner kits range from £20-£30, intermediate kits usually cost between £40-£60 and advanced kits costs £60 upwards.
In terms of the maintenance cost, this is relatively low as the only items that need to be purchased in the short-term are atomizer heads (if you have a replaceable clearomizer/tank) and E-Liquid.
Typically, atomizer heads or coils as they are sometimes referred to, last approximately two weeks. This is all dependent on frequency of use and the battery voltage. The higher the voltage the less the lifespan of the atomizer head will be.

What are the ingredients in eLiquids?
- All E-Liquid consists of Vegetable Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, flavourings, nicotine and in some cases a colouring
- Some Juices are 100% VG which means they contain no Propylene Glycol.
- Max VG does not mean there is no Propyene Glycol in the juice
Propylene Glycol (PG):
- Propylene Glycol is high quality pharmaceutical grade, in combination with the nicotine and flavours this gives you more of a throat hit.
Vegetable Glycerine (VG):
- Glycerine helps to produce more vapour and holds more flavour. VG is thicker in
Is nicotine harmful?
There is much debate about nicotine, but on it's own nicotine has never been shown to be harmful. Much of the negativity surrounding nicotine stems from it's combination with tobacco cigarettes.
Is nicotine harmful?
There is much debate about nicotine, but on it's own nicotine has never been shown to be harmful. Much of the negativity surrounding nicotine stems from it's combination with tobacco cigarettes.
What nicotine strength should I choose?
As a beginner vaper, we would recommened 12mg. This isto mimic the harshness of a cigarette and also to provide you with a similar amount of nicotine that you would get from a cigarette.
Are these suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, all our products are suitable for vegetarians.
Why does the E-Liquid sometimes change colour?
When some e-liquids are exposed to air and light they sometimes change colour; this is perfectly normal. If the E-Liquid in your tank turns into a dark brown/black colour, you may need to change your tank or replace the atomizer head in the unit (if it is a replaceable clearomizer).
How long does a 10ml bottle of E-Liquid last?
A 10ml bottle should last you approximately 5-7 days, this is for an average user. A standard clearomizer/tank has a 1.6ml capacity and this often lasts a whole day for the average user.
My battery won't charge?
If your battery is not charging it may be due to a number of different factors. Firstly, ensure that the charger you are using is the correct charger for the battery. We recommend that you only use compatible chargers from our website to ensure that they work correctly and safely. Next, make sure that you are charging the battery the correct way. Some batteries are charged via the top connection (510 charger), others charged from the bottom via a micro USB. Mods that take external batteries require an external charger for the battery cells., although some also have a micro-usb port.
My battery won't turn on?
Firstly, make sure that your battery is charged significantly before using it. The batteries we send out do have a charge in them but it is possible that a battery can have lost its chaege.
Different devices have different methods to turn the battery on. The most common ways to turn the battery on are as follows:
Click the power button rapidly three times
Click the power button rapidly five times
If none of these methods work please refer to the specific product page on our website or give us a call on 020 3475 4885 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Which clearomizers/tanks are compatible with my battery?
Batteries or Mods are either 510 or eGo compatible. On a 510 threaded battery you can only use a '510' clearomizer/tank. An eGo clearomizer can be used but you will need an adapter - http://www.ukecigstore.com/510-to-ego-adaptor-by-uk-ecig.html
What is a Passthrough battery?
A passthrough battery gives you the option to charge and vape simultaneously. These batteries usually have a charging port at the bottom of the unit.
How long do batteries last?
Below are averages for different size batteries, these approximations refer to continuous use (non-stop vaping).
1000mAh battery: 3-5 hours
1600mAh battery: 5-9 hours
Note:Above approximations are for a fixed voltage of 4volts, turning the voltage higher will give less battery time. Conversely, lowering the voltage will increase battery life.
What is the lifespan of the atomizer and how do I tell it needs replacing?
Atomizer refers to the atomizer head that is in all clearomizers and tanks. The atomizer head refers to the element, which is heated when the battery is activated and this is responsible for producing the vapour.
Typically atomizer heads last for about two weeks, but this is not the case all the time. As they are very fragile they can stop working after a few days if they are used excessively or if the wattage is too high. All atomizers have a Dead on Arrival warranty, this means that as soon as you receive the product you need to test it to see if it works, as soon as it works the warranty period ends. Atomizer heads are referred to as disposable goods and are not meant to last longer than a few weeks.
The majority of clearomziers/tanks we sell are replaceable units; this means that the only part that needs to be changed within the unit is the atomizer head. You can tell if the atomizer head needs to be replaced when there is a significant lack of vapour or if you get a burning almost smoky taste.
My clearomizer/tank is leaking?
This could be for a few reasons. It could be that there is too much juice in the tank, or perhaps the device hasn't been screwed on properly. Careful inputting of the atomizer head will help.
Why are there different resistances?
Different resistances for different volume and strength of vapour produced. More power means more vapour which should also mean more flavour.
Can I use the same clearomizer/tank with another liquid?
Yes you can, but it is recommended that you clean the clearomizer/tank meticulously to remove the former flavour. After a few vapes, the former flavour should disappear. If it does not, the coil may be compromised.
My clearomizer is not firing/working?
I am not going enough taste/vapour?
This could be because the power setting is too low on your device, it could also be that the device you're using it not set-up correctly for great flavour and vapour.
What are rebuildable atomizers?
Completely rebuildable atomizers are primarily aimed at advanced users as RDA's are intricate to use. We would not recommend using these products if you are a beginner vaper as they are for those with a good knowledge of e-cigs only. Essentially, a rebuildable unit has two posts (some have more), one post is positive and the other is negative. In order to get the unit to work a coil needs to be created that goes from the positive post to the negative one. Within this coil there needs to be material that can absorb E-Liquid: Cotton. Both the cotton and the wire that is used to make the coils are available in varying grades of thickness.
Mechanical and Non-Mechanical Mods
Mechanicals Mods are in essence electronic cigarettes stripped to its 'barebones'. These mods contain battery cells that when activated via a switch, complete a circuit that fires the atomiser which is attached to the mod. These devices are for advanced users only.
Why should I buy a mechanical mod?
Mechanical mods are very versatile and are great to use with rebuildable atomizers (where you have to build your own coils and wick). You can ger reliable, high amounts of power fed to your chosen RDA to promote flavour and vapour in ways that clearomizers/tanks are unable to. Mechanical mods are not aimed at new users, as they can be dangerous if used inappropriately.
Which battery cells can be used with MODs?
Battery cells are available in 3 sizes, 18350, 18490/18500 and 18650. These are the types of battery, which are used with mods. They can be high-powered and long lasting. They provide external power to your chosen device.
How should I maintain the products?
With all the products we sell, we recommend that you treat them with care. Batteries need to be stored appropriately and safely as they can be dangerous if misused.
For example, battery cells should never be stored in your pocket with other metal objects like coins or keys as this can short out the battery and cause a hazard. Battery cells should be stored in a safe area away from metal objects or in a plastic storage container.

the plume veil, the little boy, the Derringer, Mutation X and now the Dark Horse.
I was choosing between this and the kennedy and i am very happy i went with this one, it smokes every other RDA i have in terms of vapour, flavour is okay (derringer is probably best for that) but the one thing (apart from all the airflow) was how clean it was and how easy it is to build on.
the option between screws and grub nuts is really good and you can do dual 3 strand builds with 22 awg AND it has the airflow to support it, i have built down to 0.04ohm in this and got some monster clouds.
over all if you know what your doing and want to blow some massive clouds just buy this because the price is amazing as well.

If the first five months are any indication, 2011 is shaping up to be a great year for indie games. The latest impressive contribution comes to us from Lee Vermeulen and Jesse McGibney of Canada's Alientrap Games. This two-man team's modest 2D platformer, Capsized, is surprisingly polished and in a relatively small package offers more charm, fun and overall entertainment value than many a game ten times its size.
But before talking about the game's many good points, I have to get this off my chest. The name bothers me. "Capsize" means to turn bottom up or to overturn as in, "the boat capsized." I might be splitting hairs here, but I just can't make this watery term comfortably fit the concept of a spaceship's crash-landing. Anyway...now that that's over with, let's move on. Capsized starts with a team of squat, googly-eyed astronauts stranded on an alien planet. You play as one of these diminutive space explorers (presumably the hardiest one) and throughout the game's twelve expansive campaign levels, hike, grapple and jet-pack around looking for a means of escape.
Capsized's overall concept isn't the most innovative, but what it lacks in originality it makes up for in both style and substance. The game's complex and colorful comic-style artwork has a uniquely hand-made feel while its simple-yet-elegant mechanics are designed to power you past the learning phase and straight into the fun. Becoming marooned on a hostile planet is every space traveler's nightmare, but like a stubby, bubble-helmeted Boy Scout, you're always prepared. Armed with the astronaut's equivalent of the Swiss army knife, you can whip out your gravity ram (insert off-color joke here), jetpack, grappling hook or any of a satisfying array of barreled weapons and conquer any dangerous situation.
Each level tasks you with accomplishing a specific goal, ranging from salvaging spaceship parts to destroying alien artifacts to rescuing your less resourceful companions. Whatever it is, your objective can be tricky to achieve thanks to unwelcome terrain and unfriendly natives. Rarely do we think of aliens as "natives" but in this case, the term fits. Wherever you go you're beset by spear-throwing humanoid creatures in tribal masks hell-bent on poking a hole in your space suit. In general, they're no match for your high tech weapons but when accompanied by a swarm of flying alien insects that look like cheese curds with pincers, they can pack quite a punch.
Thanks to a fairly diverse range of enemiesincluding the aforementioned aliens and ill tempered cheese curdscombat in Capsized is chaotic, fast-paced, and unexpectedly intuitive. Once you get the hang of navigating with the WASD keys, swapping weapons and targeting with the mouse, (not to mention learning how to use the grappling hook to slingshot yourself across the environment) you'll find the game's just as much a shooter as it is a platformer. Curious types are rewarded for looking into every nook and cranny with "secrets" (which don't seem to do anything other than up your score) as well as ammo, health packs and defensive powerups. Alientrap does a lot of things right here, most notable of which is the character's movement. The importance of getting the movement right can't be overstated because if things had gone wrong, getting around the game's big, sprawling levels would have become an utter chore.
While Capsized is certainly an impressive effortespecially considering the size of the dev teamthere are a few elements here and there that leave something to be desired. Most glaringly, there's a frustrating lack of damage feedback that makes some fights and destruction objectives annoying to get through. Less bothersome but more prevalent is a questionable effect that occurs whenever your health bar reaches a low enough level. Player damage is indicated by windshield-like cracks that appear at the corners of the screen as well as increasing amounts of red blood spatter. While this well meant combo does make you aware of your impending death, it also often hastens it by totally obstructing your vision. The last problem Capsized has is its abrupt ending. Post final boss, the credits roll and...that's it. After such a well-crafted campaign, an ending like this is definitely a disappointment.
In addition to the mostly-great single player campaign, Capsized offers four unlockable Arcade modes featuring gamepad-supported local co-op for Survival, Time Trials, Deathmatch and Armless fighting (which means you fight without weapons, not that your arms get torn off).
The Verdict
Capsized is another fine example of what a small development team can accomplish with enough ambition and talent. The game is good-looking, entertaining and boasts a fluidity of play many bigger games would envy. Even with a handful of minor missteps, it's a clever, interesting platformer worth every cent of its asking price and every hour spent playing it.

Engagement Details, Alleged Cheating Scandal Put Kim Kardashian at Top of Web Search Lists
She continues to fascinate with a healthy balance of drama and sex appeal, and the past seven days were no different - as Kim Kardashian found herself ahead of the pack on this week's Gossip Center Hot 45 List.
The frequently searched reality star's chart-topping efforts come as she continues to garner more than her fair share of the spotlight while building interest ahead of Sunday night's season six premiere of her family's popular E! show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians". And while the triumphant 30-year-old was able to edge out the pack – she certainly saw stiff competition from second and third place finishers Selena Gomez and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
On the way to claiming the prime position on the latest Hot 45 List results, Kardashian's recent engagement announcement continued to be a hot topic of discussion – with numerous stories of pre-nups and baby plans circulating the gossip mill. The brunette beauty also hit headlines after the release of her July cover issue of Cosmopolitan Turkey – in which she spoke about her most famous asset – her curvaceous backside.
Denying any medical enhancement, Kardashian dished, "I'm half Armenian, so the butt really comes from my dad's side of the family. It's a little bigger, so you do have to work out more. I do squats and lunges. I try to do whatever I can to work out. It's all real." She added, "I'm proud of my booty and it's all mine. I have not had cosmetic surgery. I tried Botox once, but I have not had my nose done or anything to my butt."
Continuing on with her media blitz, Kim jetted off to London for her fragrance launch event before some unwelcome media attention came about thanks to tabloid interviews of New England Patriots NFL player Bret Lockett. In them, Lockett claimed that he hooked up with her after she started dating current fiancé Kris Humphries.
Denying any such doing, Kardashian's lawyers have since taken action – threatening Lockett with a hefty lawsuit if he doesn't retract his "untrue" accusations.
Coming in at a close second place this week was "Wizards of Waverly Place" darling Selena Gomez , who has been a mainstay in the world of celebrity gossip – especially since she's gone public with her relationship with teen heartthrob Justin Bieber. Gomez's efforts were kicked off on Sunday night as she soaked up the spotlight as a presenter at the MTV Movie Awards. Other highlights of the seven day stretch included the release of PDA-filled pictures showing Selena and Justin smooching and hugging in a press box at Game 4 of the 2011 NBA Finals in Dallas, Texas on Tuesday night along with the release of her new single "Bang Bang Bang" – which is off of her forthcoming album due out June 28th titled "When The Sun Goes Down".
Rounding out the Hot 45 List top three was British model/actress Rosie Huntington-Whitely. The 24-year-old "Transformers: Dark Of the Moon" star shot up the ranks to land her highest finish ever thanks to the release of a can't-be-missed lingerie spread adorning the pages of the July 2011 issue of Maxim magazine. Rosie also drew attention as she looked breathtaking during red carpet appearances at the MTV Movie Awards and the Glamour Women of the Year Awards over the past week.
As for the big mover of the week, Sacha Baron Cohen rose from Hot 45 List obscurity while shooting from the 265th spot all the way to 11th upon the release of the first photo in character for his latest project "The Dictator". Quite the sight to be seen, Cohen has taken on the roles of both the dictator as well as the look-alike goat herder who replaces him in the Larry Charles directed picture which tells the "heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed."
Not having as much luck as Sacha experienced, the latest edition of the Hot 45 List rankings saw quite the downward trend for typically high-placing actress Reese Witherspoon.
The "Water for Elephants" actress kicked off the week on a high note while receiving the Generation Award at the MTV Movie Awards, but her decision to steer clear of media and paparazzi coverage thereafter quickly removed her from the minds of the millions of gossip-loving web surfers. After finishing in 17th place on the previous Hot 45 List results, Miss Witherspoon slipped all the way to 135th by current week's end.
Those are this week's movers and shakers. Check back next Friday to see how your favorite celebrities fared. And click here for the complete Gossip Center Hot 45 List.

Vilanova braced for toughest battle
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
MADRID (AFP) – Tito Vilanova's time in charge of Barcelona drew to a close after just 14 months on Friday when the 44-year-old stepped down as coach after suffering a relapse in his brave battle against cancer.
Vilanova first had a tumour removed from his throat in November 2011 whilst still working as an assistant to Pep Guardiola at the Spanish giants, but returned to coaching duties in March the following year.
He then went on to succeed Guardiola as head coach of the Catalans after the latter decided to step down at the end of the 2011/12 season.
However, after an amazing start to his first senior managerial role on the field as Barcelona made the best ever start to a Spanish league campaign, the club was rocked by the news in December last year that the cancer had reappeared.
Vilanova had surgery on a salivary gland and then spent two months in New York receiving chemotherapy treatment before returning to the touchline for Barca's Champions League quarter-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain in March.
Having amassed a commanding lead in the first-half of the season, Barca comfortably went onto to seal their 22nd Spanish league title in May, but a draining season on and off the pitch seemed to have taken its toll on the squad when they were hammered 7-0 on aggregate by Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals.
Despite that defeat Vilanova continually stressed that had the energy and determination needed to continue in the role for the upcoming season.
"I feel fine. I have the energy and the desire to continue at the head of the team next season," he said.
But unfortunately his health once again failed him and he has now agreed to step aside to concentrate on his battle with cancer.
Like many of the world's best coaches, Vilanova made it to the top despite not having a distinguished playing career himself.
He started off in Barcelona's ranks as a youth player where he first met Guardiola, but moved on after failing to break into the first team and only very briefly featured in the top flight with Celta Vigo between 1992 and 1995.
After working as a coach and technical director respectively at Catalan sides FC Palafrugell and Terrassa though, Vilanova was called upon by his old friend Guardiola to form part of the coaching staff at Barcelona B after Guardiola had been appointed as manager in 2007.
After a season working with the club's youngsters, Vilanova followed Guardiola as he graduated to first-team boss the next season and was a key part of the side that won 14 trophies over a remarkably successful four-year period.
"I am not looking to compare myself to anyone; I simply want to do my job," said Vilanova when he was officially presented as the new Barca coach in July 2012.
Vilanova's relationship with Guardiola appeared to have cooled since the latter's decision to leave Barca last year.
The new Bayern Munich boss claimed last week that the current Barca board, led by president Sandro Rosell, had deliberately tried to Vilanova's illness to damage Guardiola's reputation by claiming he had not visited his ailing friend despite living in New York where Vilanova was undergoing treatment.
That claim was flatly rebuffed by Vilanova last week, who said he had only seen Guardiola once during his two-month spell in the American city.
Barcelona's focus throughout Vilanova's struggles have quite rightly been focused on his health rather than the state of the side on the pitch, however his departure does now leave one of the world's leading clubs without a permanent manager less than a month before they are due to start the defence of their La Liga title.

SCL Seminar: BEYOND THE POLKA: Writing for Accordion
with three-time World Accordion Champion
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26th, 2017
The Village Studios | Auditorium
1616 Butler Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90025
Parking available in adjacent lot, or $2 street parking/public lots nearby:
Click image above for link to full parking details
The Accordion has long been known in the US as the butt of jokes, a black sheep of the instrument family, and very simply a much maligned instrument since its heyday in the 1940s and 1950s. But in this seminar, you will learn just how complex, intricate, and highly versatile this instrument is. Multi-World champion accordionist Cory Pesaturo will discuss the various capabilities of the instrument while providing information on how to write for it. He will be assisted by long time LA copyist and arranger Liz Finch, who's been playing accordion her whole life and currently serves as 1st Vice President of the ATG (Accordionists and Teachers Guild, International).
Cory Pesaturo is one of only four accordionists to win world championships on both the acoustic and digital accordion and is the only person to also win a world championship in jazz. He is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, where he was the first musician ever to major and graduate in the accordion.
Cory's primary contribution to the instrument is his visionary thinking of how the accordion should be used, played, and presented in modern music. Cory currently gives masterclasses on music theory and the accordion throughout the US and Europe. He is developing his own electric accordion, and has created the first ever skinned accordion that includes a symmetric midi lighting system attached to the keys.

(2nd, revised edition, 2010)
(status: final, as approved by the EFCE Executive Board, Prague 28 August 2010)
Foreword by the EFCE Scientific Vice-President
According to the 2001 and 2003 communiqués of the Bologna Follow-up Conferences of the Ministers responsible for Higher Education, "first and second cycle degrees should have differ-ent orientations and various profiles in order to accommodate a diversity of individual, academic and labour market needs". Therefore in a number of countries in Europe we can distinguish two types of higher education in chemical engineering: "more research-oriented" first cycle ("bachelor") programmes and more "application-oriented" first cycle programmes. Both types of pro-grammes cover a study of three or four academic years each of 60 credits (total 180-240 credits). The length of the programmes may depend on the length of pre-university education (age of stu-dents 17 or 18 years old). After completion of the undergraduate, first cycle ("bachelor") curriculum, students can continue their study with a second cycle ("master") programme in chemical engineering of 90-120 credits (1 ½ - 2 academic years).
The recommendations for the first and the second cycle adopt the EUR-ACE® framework standards for accreditation of engineering programmes 1, being grouped in the following Programme Outcomes:
The recommendations accommodate the outcomes of both "more research-oriented" and "more application-oriented" chemical engineering programmes, the differences being that the latter tend to show less scientific depth but more practical competencies
- Knowledge and Understanding;
- Engineering Analysis;
- Engineering Design;
- Investigations;
- Engineering Practice;
- Transferable Skills.
The document further covers some recommendations for achieving these programme outcomes containing:
The programme outcomes are formulated in a general way, to emphasise what should be common to chemical engineering education. The core curriculum proposed here with additional ap-propriate topics in science, in chemical and other engineering, and in non-technical areas will give a variety of concrete contents to the general outcomes. Thus, different chemical engineers will be able to handle the demands of different industries and tasks: e.g. oil refining, bulk and fine chemicals, paper, polymers, food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, environmental issues. Particularly second level graduates will be able to perform research tasks and go on to doctoral studies.
A large percentage of chemical engineers are now engaged in making various specialty products (formulated products), and relatively fewer in making traditional commodity chemicals. While all chemical engineers still need many of the traditional chemical engineering skills, the EFCE feels there is now a need to include some knowledge of "product engineering" in the common core in order to reflect the increasing importance of modern materials science.
Further, these recommendations give the higher education institutions the opportunity to intro-duce their own "flavour" and/or innovative concepts in their programmes. For this reason core curricula are proposed which cover only two thirds of a first cycle ("bachelor") programme and the framework of a second cycle ("master's") degree.
In line with recommendations/requirements from other bodies (including accreditation bodies), EFCE has formulated its recommendations first and foremost as programme outcomes, i.e. what the students should know or be able to do immediately after graduation.
First Cycle ("bachelor") Chemical Engineering programme outcomes
After graduation, a first cycle degree chemical engineer should meet the following criteria:
Second Cycle ("master") Chemical Engineering programme outcomes
After graduation, a second cycle ("master's") degree chemical engineer should fulfil the following qualifications:
The EFCE expects that the final outcomes of second cycle ("master's") degree programme to be (at least) equivalent to those of traditional long-cycle (4½ - 5 years) programmes.
Third Cycle ("doctorate") Cehmical Engineering outcomes
In addition to the qualification acquired during the first and second cycle, a graduate of the third cycle will:
To ensure the proper common content and proper levels of the different first and second cycle degrees, EFCE recommends minimum requirements for certain subjects and topics (e.g. mathematics and reaction engineering) that form the core curriculum for the each cycle.
Although the first cycle ("bachelor") core curriculum is more detailed than the second cycle ("master") programme, there is still much of the total study left (one academic year) to give the institutions the opportunity to implement their own specialism and/or new development in the field of chemical engineering.
For the second cycle the recommendations are very general, making it easy to give a broad range of different orientations within and between institutions while meeting the general outcomes.
Note that the curriculum recommendation lists topics. EFCE makes no recommendation on the number of courses that should be given, or on how topics should be grouped in courses. Furthermore, in practice many of the listed topics will be part of larger courses containing more than just the core.
As the common European credit unit is the ECTU (European Credit Transfer Unit) of which there are 60 per year, all recommendations here are given using ECTU. The EFCE has chosen a 3 + 2 years two cycle scheme as an example. For other schemes the figures have to be adapted accordingly.
First Cycle ("bachelor") Chemical Engineering programme
Core curriculum Chemical Engineering (first cycle)
Fundamentals of science and natural sciences
Chemical Engineering fundamentals
|Chemical Engineering applications
e.g. basic product engineering, safety, health and environment, design and process analytical techniques
|Non-technical subjects
e.g. economics and management
|First Cycle ("Bachelor's") thesis project
|Total of the recommended core curriculum
|Chemical engineering sciences or natural sciences according to the main emphasis of the degree course of the university
|Total of a first cycle chemical engineering degree programme (minimum requirement)
Typically, a first cycle ("bachelor's") degree course will contain 20-30 % science courses, 40-50 % engineering courses, and up to 10 % non-technical topics. The core recommended here gives a science content of 25 %, an engineering content of 36 %, and a non-technical content of 6 % of the total study (180 credits), leaving one third to deeper coverage of some of these topics and to other topics.
Second Cycle ("master") Chemical Engineering programme
Although no topics are specified here, it is clear from the recommended learning outcomes that central chemical engineering topics such as transport phenomena, chemical reaction engineering, dynamic modelling as well as general topics such as statistics/optimization/ parameter estimation must be included to the extent they have not already been covered in the bachelor study.
Core curriculum Chemical Engineering (first cycle)
Mathematics and science
|Chemical Engineering topics
e.g. advanced courses in multphase reactor engineering, catalysis, transport phenomena
|Second Cycle ("Master's") thesis project
|Total of the recommended core curriculum
|Chemical engineering sciences or natural sciences according to the main emphasis of the degree course of the university
|15 - 35
|Total of a second cycle chemical engineering degree programme
|90 - 120
The core curriculum makes up 63 % of the total study (of 120 credits), leaving 37% of the second cycle ("master") study for additional specialization and broadening.
Irrespective of the degree structure, the teaching and learning methods must be appropriate for the topic in question, and be chosen so that the learning outcomes can be achieved. The teaching and learning methods should also help develop students' skill to work both independently and in teams. Thus, to learn to function in teams, group work is necessary. To be able to communicate, communication tasks must be given and solved. To learn to learn and to take responsibility for their own learning, students must be given appropriate self-study and problem solving tasks dur-ing their study. To understand ethical, societal, environmental and professional issues, suitable examples for illustration or discussion must be included. The study should be organised to ensure that students work during all of the semester, and are able to make the relevant connections be-tween the different subjects.
All courses should as far as possible give examples from several areas, to show the broad applicability of chemical engineering methods.
Industry has an important role to play in the education of chemical engineers. Industrial experience serves to illustrate the applications and limitations of theory, helps to set the courses in a wider context and motivates for the remaining study. In addition, it provides social skills for later leadership roles. Industrial experience for all can only be obtained if industry accepts the respon-sibility of providing sufficient placements.
Chemical engineering graduates are typically employed in companies and organisations that are operating globally. Therefore, each educational institution is recommended to employ an active strategy for internationalisation. This means the process of integrating an international, intercul-tural, or global dimension into the purpose, functions or delivery of higher education. In practice, internationalisation may include student and staff mobility, internationalisation at home as well as international benchmarking and accreditation.
Each educational institution should have an ongoing review of the educational process, to ensure that the parts are up to date and properly coordinated, and that each and every part contributes towards the aims of the course, and in general to improve the educational outcomes.
EFCE would like to emphasise the need for appropriate feed-back to maximise the learning effect of the assessments.

Gay rights activists march on Washington, October 11, 2009. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)
Hillary Clinton, who was the first lady of the United States when President Bill Clinton signed the "Defense of Marriage Act," has recorded a warm and thoughtful endorsement of marriage equality. With the release Monday of her statement, the Democratic Party is completing an evolution on the issue of same-sex marriage. Never again will a serious contender for the party's presidential nomination—whether Clinton runs in 2016 or not—oppose the right of lesbian couples and gay couples to marry.
But the Democratic Party is not alone in evolving.
Republicans are moving more slowly on the issue. But they are moving. And in many senses this movement provides the most dramatic evidence of the rapid progress being made by proponents of LGBT rights.
When Ohio Senator Rob Portman announced last week that he is now a supporter of marriage equality, he became the latest prominent Republican to abandon the official position of a party that just a few years ago was rigidly—and almost universally—opposed to same-sex marriage.
"I have come to believe that if two people are prepared to make a lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in good times and in bad, the government shouldn't deny them the opportunity to get married," said the Ohio senator, who was high on Mitt Romney's list of vice presidential prospects.
The senator was inspired to abandon his embrace of discrimination at least in part because his son is gay. Other Republicans have been influenced by family connections and friendships. And still others are shifting their stances because they know the Republican Party needs to change.
The Grand Old Party is in a process of transformation that is notable in its scope and character. Less than a decade ago, when states were voting to amend constitutions to formally bar same-sex couples from marrying, leading Republicans were overwhelmingly supportive of discrimination. Now, a growing number of leading Republicans are explicitly rejecting discrimination and taking the position that a new Washington Post/ABC News Poll says 58 percent of all Americans now embrace: "It should be legal for gay and lesbian couples to get married."

My daughter is currently in the American Girl phase. I'm not sure how long it will last, but boy is her current wish list expensive! For Easter I decided I'd make her a DIY version of an American Girl bed. I found complete plans to make a the bed here on Ana White's website. The goal with this project was to spend as little money as possible so I didn't follow the plans exactly.
The entire bed was constructed out of wood from my scrap pile in the basement with the exception of a 2x2 that I had to purchase. The plan calls for a 3' length and rather than buy a whole 8' length at the local lumber mill I bought a 4' stake that is sharpened to a point at one end (I think it's used for fencing?). According to the man at the shop it was cheaper - it came in just over $1. I ran out of 1"x3"'s partway through and omitted or substituted different dimensions instead. I had no suitable plywood scraps and although I have some 1/4" masonite lying around I had no desire to have to cut it down to size. I decided I'd make it a rope bed. My daughter has an antique rope bed at her Dad's house so I thought it would be cute if her doll did too.
I drilled 9 holes down each of the sides of the bed then 6 holes across the ends. You just thread the 'rope' (leftover from a dollar store project) through the holes, weaving in a basket weave pattern (over and under). Knot off each end after pulling tight and it will happily hold a mattress.
The mattress I made was constructed from fabric scraps which are on their third go around now - first as sheet, then a craft project, then as lining for my office curtains and now a doll mattress. I still have some left and I'll probably make a pillow since I only just realized I forgot about that small detail.
Since I used paint and primer I already had in the house, all told the bed cost me less than $2. Not a bad deal and I'm sure my daughter will love it. Next project? Doll bedding of course :)
Happy Easter Everyone!

Essence of Assam remains unappreciated in India: Priyanka Chopra
Actress Priyanka Chopra says Assam has remained largely unknown in India and she hopes to fill this gap in knowledge over a period of time. Out of the country, few know much about the state. Priyanka expressed this sentiment on Saturday after she was declared the Brand Ambassador of Assam Tourism.
"I feel there is so much true essence of this state that we in India don't appreciate, and abroad we don't even know," Priyanka said, adding: "I wish I'll be able to introduce to the world the beauty, grace and culture of Assam."
The announcement was made at the Assam Travel Conclave 2016 by the Minister of Tourism, Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma. "I have had many discussions with the team here and when I looked at what Assam had to offer to tourists, not just in India but across the world, I was honoured to come on board as the Brand Ambassador," she said.
"I am looking forward to Discovering Assam and am excited to take it to the world," she added. She said her experience with the state has been quite enriching. Taking a break from her international ventures, the Bollywood star was in Guwahati at the Travel Conclave.
Priyanka said that every state and every country has its own issues, which, however, did not mean that the doors to the world be shut down. "The government is aware about safety issues and everything that people need to be concerned about, which is why such a big initiative is being taken for tourism to promote the state. So, I think it is important to focus in the right thing — which is opening up our doors and saying 'Welcome to Awesome Assam'," Priyanka said while addressing reporters in Guwahati.
In addition to attending the Assam Travel Conclave, Priyanka also visited the famed Kamakhya Temple, interacted with the Assamese people, enjoyed the traditional cuisine and draped herself in the traditional "Mekhla Chador".

Google researcher suggests vulnerability in Chrome extension AVG fixed
Researcher Tavis Ormandy of the Project Zero security team at Google found a leak in the Chrome extension AVG Web TuneUp. This would have made it possible for attackers via APIs to see all kinds of user information. The leak has been plugged.
AVG fpa Ormandy says in the description that the AVG extension during installation Chrome bypass existing security measures against malware. The program would then be able to adjust search settings and the page that opens the browser can set up in a new tab. Ormandy wrote to AVG that "the extension so broken that he does not know whether he should report it as a vulnerability or it should be examined as potentially unwanted programs. This while the extension is designed to make it safer and browsing would be present in the browsers of approximately nine million users.
An attacker could intercept using the programming interfaces of the extension via cross site scripting email or perform a man-in-the-middle attack referenced. Also, the researcher does not rule out that remote arbitrary code could have been exported. The dialogue between Ormandy and AVG shows that the company initially tried the leak sealer patches that offer virtually no solution. Only after some back-and-forth comes AVG with a solution according to the researcher is workable. Ormandy late Tuesday that still an investigation is under way into whether AVG with the extension breaks the rules. The update would be available in version 220.127.116.11 of the extension.Viewing:-323

Leaders of the world's air traffice controllers expressed concern at the safety of US airspace but announced no action in support of striking US controllers.
The International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers Associations ended a two-day meeting by accusing the Federal Aviation Administration and the Air Line Pilots Association of issuing statements on the safety of US airspace which were "calculated to mislead the public and supported by incomplete statistics. "The federation was to release details of reported incidents and near-misses to back its claim that the US system as currently operated was unsafe.
It called for reopening of bargaining between the US government and controllers. As for an international action in support of striking US controllers, a spokesman said, "Members are autonomous and might act individually."
The president sacked 12,000 controllers' union members after their pay strike began Aug. 3, and it has cut US domestic flights by a quarter.
Meanwhile, in Tampa, Fla., Monitor contributor Gil Klein reports that the International machinists and Aerospace Workers union has offered a plan for a solution to the dispute. After Eastern Airlines said the slowdown in business would be counterbalanced by pay cuts of 6 to 10 percent and 3,000 layoffs at the end of the summer -- 1,500 more than usual at that time of year -- the union suggested a congressional panel negotiate a settlement with the rehiring of all controllers fired.

For an institution shot through with liberal bias, the liberal media sure does seem to love conservatives. On one cable network, for example, a former Republican congressman hosts a three-hour show every weekday. And that's the most liberal of three networks! Impressive. Similarly, The New York Times is so liberal that it not only has Bill Kristol as a columnist, but also decided to publish this item about how unfairly liberal the media is, citing tons and tons of examples of the liberal media itself calling out its own dastardly liberal biases. Why, with the liberal media so eager to condemn its own biases and give jobs to all manner of rightwing hacks, it's almost as if the liberal media not so liberal.
But that's just some silly blogger talking. In the real world, all responsible people know that when conservatives win elections, the only responsible thing is for the media to give more platforms to conservatives in order to reflect the country's conservative sentiments. Meanwhile, when conservative lose elections, only responsible thing is for the media to give more platforms to conservatives in order to counterbalance the liberal bias that caused the losses. Also to publish articles about how conservative the country's sentiments are. But never, ever, ever wonder how liberal the media could really be if it reacts to conservative electoral defeat by proclaiming the country to be essentially conservative.
Oh well.
But seriously. One contribution that Media Matters has made to the field that I think hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves is the attempt to shift media criticism out of the hoary territory of accusations of "bias." Simply put, it's not possible for working journalists to purge themselves of bias, nor is it possible for readers or critics to adduce definitive proof of bias. Making spurious claims of bias in order to try to get journalists to pursue the impossible task of eliminating their mental biases is impossibility squared. It's an intellectually bankrupt dead-end. By contrast, one can just critique the work. Point out errors of fact or logic, or observe the relative balance of coverage toward this or that.
I don't, for example, think I ever saw a television network or mass-media publication provide a cogent explanation of the differences between Barack Obama's climate change proposal and John McCain's climate change proposal even though the proposals contained some important differences. I have no idea whether this was attributable to "bias" or even how I would know. Nor am I sure which candidate would benefit from exploring this question. I am, however, sure that I've several times seen their plans described as being the same on the grounds that they're both "cap and trade" plans. That's false. Does the habit of saying it reflect bias? And bias toward whom? Who knows and who cares? What matters is the information — accurate information about important topics should be conveyed in a clear manner.

A little bit about me….
As a child I was always drawing, stitching or making something and my Mum taught me to hand knit at the age of 7. My fascination with yarn, texture and colour led me to study for a degree in textile design where I specialised in hand & machine knitting learning to crochet, bead and embroider along the way. I've worked as a freelance textile designer and tutor teaching machine knitting at Bucks New University in Buckinghamshire and hand knitting at The Royal College of Art in London. As an accessories obsessive I have produced collections under my own label 'duppdupp', written 3 books 'Easy Knitted Accessories', 'Easy Beaded Knits' & 'Easy Knitted Socks', produced two collections of designs for Artesano Alpaca as well as Collection One a book of 10 designs using Knitglobal's plain and variegated sock yarn.
Colour is very important to me and my design process often begins with that search for an intriguing stitch that will attract your creative juices or a decorative or constructive detail that will give the project a stylish, contemporary edge. My designs have featured in 'Simply Knitting',' The Knitter' and 'Knitting Magazine' where for the last 5 years I have also hosted the 'Ask Jeanette' letters page, Yarn Reviews and A-Z of Techniques.
In May 2016 I was diagnosed with a couple of 'unwelcome guests' – two brain tumours which thankfully have proved to be benign. Having undergone surgery for a bilateral craniotomy 7 months ago I am having to take life at a much, much slower pace and seriously re-evaluate my work / life balance. So now I'm at the mercy of a newly operated-on brain which has more breathing space but for which, just getting dressed is a challenge. You should expect spelling and grammatical mistakes and blog posts could be about anything; from knit to crochet, art to design, interiors to food.
Recovery should be interesting……….

takziah on the passing of your beloved sister.
if I may give my humble comment on a remark you wrote, "Keeping my finger crossed"... I frequently used this expression when hoping for something until a brother pointed it out to me that it originated from the Christian tradition, hence the act of crossing one's finger. I have since refrained from using the expression and instead say InshaAllah. Wallahualam.

Buttery Fluffy Cornmeal Dinner Rolls
The hint of cornmeal mingled with the light sweetness of the dough make these extra-fluffy, cornmeal dinner rolls one of my favorite rolls of all time!
I get asked all the time what my favorite, go-to homemade roll recipe is. The one I can't imagine living without. My roll soulmate, if you will.
You can understand how questions like this cause me to panic. That's like choosing a favorite child! A favorite pair of jeans! Favorite book! A favorite husband! (That last one was a joke. Ha.)
I love so many different roll recipes. All for varying reasons. Some might even say I have a homemade roll obsession.
But, in the interest of full disclosure, I do find myself making these buttery cornmeal dinner rolls over and over and over.
Today's post is a little bit of a placeholder. You see, a similar variation of these rolls has been on my site for years. Behold the gloriousness of Buttery Cornmeal Crescent Rolls. The base of the dough makes up one of our most-loved meals of all time: Chicken Pillows.
As I've made the crescent rolls referenced above over the years, I've found that more often than not, I skip the crescent-shaping part and go straight for the extra-fluffy, dinner-style roll.
It's easier to quickly shape them into a tight ball, and the rolls bake up like pillowy clouds of fluffy cornmeal heaven.
If you may have passed up the original crescent version because the shape or recipe seemed intimidating, now's your chance to dive in and embrace the simplicity (and deliciousness).
And if you're skeptical about the cornmeal in the recipe – you have to trust me on this. The cornmeal gives just the slightest textural boost to the rolls and mingles perfectly with the lightly sweet dough.
They are so yummy, and don't even get me started on how wonderful they are with leftover turkey or ham.
A couple months ago I made these fluffy cornmeal dinner rolls for a cute luncheon I was helping with. It's called the Sunshine Girls Luncheon for women over age 55, and it is kind of awesome.
Too bad I'm not invited every month (only when I'm on roll duty, I guess, since I have a few more years until I meet the minimum age requirement).
That particular month when I brought these cornmeal dinner rolls, I had one elegant, white-haired woman quietly pull me into the hallway, and she said, "Don't tell my friends I'm asking you this, because I already make the best rolls they've ever had, but those rolls were better than mine; do you know who made them and where I can get the recipe?"
You know me…I'm always one to help a girl out with a recipe, so I gave her the web address of this pretty awesome food blog I know about. 🙂
She wasn't the only one who requested the recipe that afternoon, although the other women were slightly less secretive about it.
If you are looking for THE roll to impress this holiday season, you really need to give these cornmeal dinner rolls a try. I love the round, fluffy shape even better than the original crescent roll shape. It definitely makes the roll more accessible for maximum sandwich/leftover fixings.
So while I'll never profess my undying love for just one and only one roll recipe…just know that these rolls seem to be my go-to homemade dinner roll of 2016 with no signs of stopping.
One Year Ago: New Thanksgiving Favorite: Pretzel and Sausage Stuffing
Two Years Ago: Chocolate Caramel Pecan Pie
Three Years Ago: Black Bean Pizza with Whole Wheat Crust
Buttery Fluffy Cornmeal Dinner Rolls
- 2 cups milk (1%, 2% or whole)
- 2/3 cup yellow corn meal
- 1 1/2 tablespoons instant yeast
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 5 1/2 – 6 cups all-purpose flour (see note)
- In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, warm the milk to just below a simmer; tiny bubbles will appear around the edges (this is called scalding milk). Add the cornmeal and cook and stir constantly until the mixture is thickened and bubbling. It should be the consistency of porridge before taking off the heat.
- Pour the cornmeal mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook or a large bowl (if mixing by hand) and let cool until lukewarm. Add the yeast, butter and sugar (if you dissolved active dry yeast with a bit of water and sugar until it foamed, add it now). Mix.
- Add the salt and eggs. Mix well. Add the flour gradually until a soft dough forms. Knead for 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and cover with lightly greased plastic wrap; let rise until doubled.
- Portion the dough into 24 equal pieces (about 2.75 to 3 ounces each) and roll into a taut ball on the counter. Place each roll on a large, rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing about an inch apart to allow for rising (on a 11X17-inch rimmed baking sheet, I fit 24 rolls on the sheet – four across, six down). Cover lightly with greased plastic wrap. Let the rolls rise until doubled.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 14-17 minutes, until lightly browned and baked through. Remove from the oven and brush with butter while still warm.
If you need/want to use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast, change the amount of yeast to 2 tablespoons active dry and dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let the yeast mixture activate and foam (approximately 5 minutes) before adding it to the cornmeal mixture with the butter and 1/3 cup sugar.
I've had good luck subbing in 50% white whole wheat flour for these rolls as well (if doing so, increase the kneading time by 2-3 minutes).
Also, as with all yeast doughs, I never use the flour amount called for in the recipe as a hard fast rule (unless a weight measure is given and then I pull out my kitchen scale). Because humidity, temperature, altitude and a multitude of other factors can impact how much flour you need in your yeast doughs, I always judge when to quit adding flour by the texture and look and feel of the dough rather than how much flour I've added compared to the recipe. This tutorial on yeast may help identify how a perfectly floured dough should be.

Mumbai: Designer jewellery brand Amrapali`s show at the India International Jewellery Week (IIJW) Thursday was high on woman power with many female celebrities turning up and the show stopper being Bollywood actress Konkona Sen Sharma.
The list of other celebrities who added glitter to the show were folk singer Ila Arun and her daughter Isshita Arun, Bollywood actress Kiron Kher, playback singer Alka Yagnik, fashion designer Anita Dongre, television actress Neena Gupta and her fashion designer daughter Masaba.
"I`m privileged to be here because I believe that nothing else makes women look so beautiful than wearing jewellery by Amrapali. I`ve been wearing their designs since so many years and I love them," Kiron told reporters here.
"We are so happy that so many people have come to support and encourage us," Rajesh Ajmera of Amrapali said.
Amrapali, which started in Jaipur in 1978, presented a bridal collection of traditional jewellery that focused on the rich heritage of India.
Konkana opened the show wearing a five-row kundan neck piece, armlet, bangles, earrings and a choker.
White gold, pearls, diamonds, meenakari work and kundan were used for a line of spread out neck pieces, bangles, cuffs, maang tikkas, rings and pendants.


text: This should probably not be in Black Hat but it was the only category mentioning Wordpress. Anyway, I'm wondering if there is a method to schedule blog comments on a personal Wordpress blog? The idea is to get more people to comment by posting genuine comments myself but obviously I don't want them all published at the same time since that would be way to obvious. I'm not looking for an automated tool like Scrapebox since I'm looking for really high quality comments. Any ideas?
