Asia spans a number of countries, but with our collection of Touring holidays we hope to have collated the most interesting, fun, imaginative and often adventurous destinations. With iconic buildings around every corner, from the majestic Angkor Wat in Cambodia to the ancient temples of Chaing Mai from the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur to the luxurious sky scrapers of Hong Kong, Asia packs a world into one continent.
The postcard images of perfect white sand beaches are all true with equally vibrant blue seas – try the Thai Islands of Koh Samui or Phuket as part of our small group tours or with our Thailand private touring options explore Krabbe, and the west coast islands. Bali and Malaysia combine beaches with mountainous interiors whilst Vietnam and the Philippines are lesser visited but stunningly beautiful retaining a sense of wilderness.
Mist shrouded hill top shrines peer out of the jungle in Northern Thailand and Northern Vietnam. The great joy of visiting Asia is that you can combine so much on one Touring Holiday. It doesn't have to be a conventional experience – try our tours which focus on trekking, cycling and kayaking, or even cruising. We have tried to create Asian Tours with a difference which allow you to enjoy an exceptional holiday. The tranquillity of cruises or rafting trips on wide and huge rivers, the steamy mystery of the jungle and the simple beauty of island hideaways are all part of the Blue Lizard Travel Asian Touring Collection.
Culturally Asia is rich with diversity and heritage, explore further with our World Heritage in Style Tour which can be arranged privately or as part of a small group. Buddhist monks wander with saffron robes alongside everyone else going about their daily chores.
Cities in Asia can be exciting places, bustling with energy, strange smells and noisy tuk tuks, mopeds and taxis. Try street food, haggle in the open air markets, get out to the night markets and find some great bargains. Alternatively head out to the air-conditioned malls for designer brands and luxe all at good prices. If you like shopping, you'll love Asia – if you like food, you'll love Asia but in a nutshell it is an experience which you won't get anywhere else.
As interest in Asia grows, so do the ways in which you can see it. Take a look at our fabulous Asian Cruise Expeditions which allow you to drift slowly through the countries of Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar taking in the bustle of the Mekong River.
It is not difficult to understand why we love Asia so much. We are certain we can arrange the best tour for you as part of an Asian holiday or as a stopover experience enroute to New Zealand or Australia.

We've had these talks every week for more than 20 years. But this is our last.
We've had these talks every week for more than 20 years. But this is our last.
Children who have been topics of both light-hearted and serious discussions are adults now. We made it through potty-training, visits to the doctor's office, refusal to stay in bed, refusal to eat. Now these children are grown up, and so are we.
When Beverly Mills Gyllenhaal, a college friend from the Journalism School at the University of North Carolina, launched Parent to Parent in newspapers on Mother's Day 1990, our sons were babies. We were both journalists, married to other journalists, living in south Florida.
I took over the column in 1998 as Beverly pursued writing another column, Desperation Dinners, and three cookbooks. Between the two of us, we researched and wrote more than 1,100 parenting columns over nearly 24 years, boiling down complex topics into 675 words a week. Our mantras: Trust your instincts. Use common sense. You're not alone in this journey called parenting.
Over the years, the real experts proved to be you. And your children.
Information-gathering in the first decade or so of the column took much more than the click of a mouse. But when there was no email, no Internet, no Facebook and no smartphones, readers actually communicated more deeply. They hand-wrote or typed letters and mailed them to us. They also called in and recorded comments on an answering machine. We dutifully listened and scrawled down the questions, answers and tips from all over the U.S. and Canada, then sought professional expertise with legal pads and pens in hand.
"Excellent parenting involves availing yourself of information and advice that others have, then using what you know about your child," said one of my favorite child-development experts, Cheryl Wolfe — a lecturer for the Gesell Institute of Human Development — at a workshop years ago. "Let these little ones unfold the way they are meant to unfold. Through perseverance, patience and love, we begin to discover who they really are."
What worries me now: We're going too fast to discover much of anything. Too much chatter, but not much listening. Tone of voice, facial expression and common sense are lost in the instant-information shuffle. Comments online elicit an alarming level of rage, even on seemingly innocuous topics. There are no filters. The advice "think before you speak" is out of date. Now, it's "think before you photograph yourself in your underwear and send it out on Instagram."
On the brighter side, a great joy was hearing that my column was clipped out and posted on fridges and school bulletin boards, or passed along by a mom hoping her "son and daughter-in-law would get the message." A happy moment: One of my preschoolers in Davidson recognized my face in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and shouted about it at circle time.
"The wisdom of preschoolers" has always been my favorite topic. Through the eyes of a child, every leaf, every acorn, every rock is a discovery. There are no weeds, only flowers. Some of my favorite bits of preschool wisdom: Some parents take showers together "even when they are not in a hurry." "Money grows inside ATM machines." "If you're alone in the woods, call 911." A caterpillar turns into a "raccoon," goes to "sweep," then becomes a butterfly.
And a Christmastime discovery from my then 4-year-old son, who is now 24 and a software programmer: "Mary gets to be Mary in the Christmas pageant. Isn't that great? She doesn't have to change her name."
The last call into my "toll-free hotline" was from a man in California, who said a holiday column of mine earlier this month helped him remember making peanut-butter fudge with his grandmother. "Thank you for that memory," he told my voicemail. I thought, for the last time as a parenting columnist, "You're welcome, and thanks for calling."
Keep talking amongst yourselves, face to face. I'll still be listening.
Stay in touch through email@example.com.
Betsy Flagler, a journalist based in Davidson, N.C., is a mother and preschool teacher.

Energy Science – Alternative Energy
Nothing about climate/energy policy proves more fascinating than the game of guessing what alternative energy source will replace the most fossil fuel and when this will happen. And no guessing game has ever produced more wrong answers.
In spite of this track record, and the well-founded view that the government should not try to pick winners, the government cannot exit this guessing game entirely. So alternative energy spawns two policy questions:
How can the government best induce private industry to pick winning alternative energy technologies.
How should the gaps in the private sector be filled in?
But since everyone loves predictions and the second question will need some answers, the GEP Center discusses the predictions of the best soothsayers here: alternative energy predictions. Alternative energy policy is here, under National Policy.
Energy Security Benefits
Global Energy Policy contains a remarkably useful but entirely ignored alignment:
Climate policy requires that the use of oil be reduced.
The best policy for increasing energy security is to reduce oil use.
The use of this alignment is discussed in the Global Policy section under "Energy / Climate," but that discussion relies no certain aspects of the world oil market, which will be discussed here.
The Global Rebound Effect
Biofuels are part of the world oil market, or more accurately, part of the world liquid-fuels market. This means that producing biofuels shifts the supply curve for liquid fuel out, reduces the world price of liquid fuel (including oil), and increases the consumption of liquid fuel. That's the global rebound effect.
The global rebound effect, reduces the usefulness of all alternative liquid fuel, but probably by only about 20 to 30 percent. Still, this can be quite important for marginally useful fuels.
The same set of changes occur when more oil is produce, say from offshore drilling. So pumping oil is governed by the same global rebound effect as producing ethanol. See the global-rebound page (just getting started), or read the rebound policy brief.
Peak oil / peak fossil
The U.S. Department of Energy has been fairly accurate about oil consumption over the years, although their projection for world consumption in 2025 dropped from 117.6 to 101.1 in just two years, from 2007 to 2009. That's a fairly remarkable drop and makes a peak-oil date in the early 2020's seem entirely possible. But this does not mean catastrophe, it just means high oil prices will force Americans to be less wasteful and force China and India to shift expand auto-use more slowly.

All that hair can result in some nasty bacteria
By Jess Edwards
So you know that bathroom plug hole that you've not dared look inside for approximately 364 days? Well, it might be time to start paying attention…
New research by the University of East Anglia suggests that we should be cleaning our plug-hole and de-clogging it from hair much more often than we currently are (which, let's be honest, is basically never). However, it should be noted that the study was commissioned by drain-unblocking company Buster, so the whole thing should definitely be taken with a pinch of salt.
The findings
Basically, it was found that all the hair, soap, sludge and dirt that collects in your plug hole isn't just causing blockages – it could also create a breeding ground for potentially dangerous bacteria.
When water is run, this bacteria could be pushed back out, either coming into contact with your skin (in bathrooms) or, more worryingly, with your food (in the kitchen sink). The report reads:
"Within shower and bath drains the environment would be warm, moist and saturated with waste such as hair and skin flakes, being hospitable for microbial life… Plugholes and drains in both the domestic household and hospitals pose potential health consequences and could promote the spread of diseases."
Like we said above, don't be entirely surprised that this commissioned piece of research goes on to recommend regularly unblocking your plugs with their product in order to prevent the problem… But perhaps do consider the health implications of leaving your drains to fester.

Not all customers pay on time. In fact, many need a nudge in the right direction. These letters are what they are waiting for before you get paid.
Chasing your customers for payment must be handled carefully and correctly, this is very
important. You do not want to seem too demanding and on the other hand, you want
your money as you have already supplied the goods or service. What good is a
customer who does not pay?
Non-payment could possibly mean you have a bad debt. This in turn will reduce your profit, affect your cash flow and depending on the size of the account, your business may suffer.
Remember also this could be a repeat customer so getting the right tempo
is crucial. Hopefully they will pay on the first letter, as non-payment was just
an oversight. You will however be equipped for all types of customers. This is a great addition for your credit control department.
The three debt collection letters in order are:
When the worst case happens, and they still do not pay and the matter does go to court, then the court will like to see every effort was made for the customer to be reminded of the debt and you tried to communicate with them.
Do not delay. The longer you leave it the longer it will take to be paid. Send the first letter today!
Documents included:

IT'S A DUESEY: Duesenberg's ad approach is notable for its understatement and class. "Reproductions from actual photographs of Duesenberg Town Cabriolet," reads the copy, underscoring a photo of its sleek body lines and another of its rich interior appointments. Printed discreetly below the logo: "265 horsepower."
ROARING '20s: Flappers and rumble seats figure in Studebaker's 1929 ad, which notes that the car is "clothed in matchless beauty of line and color-though masked by manners urbane and distinguished."
WHY PAY MORE? "The greatest Buick ever built" is a well-remembered themeline. This ad states that people who can afford more expensive cars still opt to stick with Buick.
COMPARISON SHOPPING: This classic ad created by J. Stirling Getchell courageously used Walter P. Chrysler himself to invite consumers to check out the competition, confident they will return to the low-price Plymouth.
DRIVING RAIN: Essex Coach shows consumers in this 1923 ad that its closed motor car will protect them from the elements. Owners, it says, "Like it-the best test."
THOROUGHLY MODERN SENIOR: Dodge promises that "only the best taste-and the smartest note of modern fashion-govern the choice of its colors, its style-features, its attractive refinements," in this 1929 effort.
S18....1.8.96TALLY HO: Lincoln establishes that its buyers are "unmistakably" distinguished by ownership of this fine car. In this 1926 ad, the image of affluence is reinforced with the drawing of a foxhunt.

Microsoft Visio Viewer 2002
Summary This article discusses how to deploy the Microsoft Visio Viewer 2002 across a corporate network.
Download the Microsoft Visio Viewer 2002 from the Downloads on Microsoft® Office Online. (3,790 KB)
On This Page
About Deployment Methods for the Visio Viewer
Modify Installation with a Transform File
Deploy the Visio Viewer using Active Directory
Re-associate File Types with Microsoft Visio
You can deploy Microsoft® Visio® Viewer 2002 across your corporate network. Within a Microsoft Windows® 2000 Server environment and using Active Directory®, you can also customize the deployment of the Visio Viewer to target specific users, groups, or computers within your corporate network.
This article describes the following deployment scenarios:
Deploying the Visio Viewer from an administrative installation point.
Assigning or publishing the Visio Viewer using Active Directory.
In addition, this article also includes information on creating a transform (MST) file that allows you to customize your deployment of the Visio Viewer.
For deployment of the Visio Viewer over your corporate network, you might also need the following:
Visio 2002 SR-1 Resource Kit: You can download the resource kit as a Microsoft Word file from the Visio Web site. It contains detailed information about deployment and deployment issues.
Windows Installer SDK: The Windows Installer includes applications that allow you to modify the MSI file for the Visio Viewer and/or create a transform file. You can download the Windows Installer SDK from the Microsoft Download Center.
About Deployment Methods for the Visio Viewer
When you download the Visio Viewer to a single computer that multiple users access, but that is not necessarily connected to a network, all users of that computer can use the Visio Viewer. If Microsoft Visio is already installed on the computer, those users will be able to use both Visio and the Visio Viewer. Installation of the Visio Viewer for a user on a computer will not change the file extension associations for other users who have Microsoft Visio installed on that computer.
Important: For computers connected to a corporate network, you should always install the Visio Viewer from an administrative installation point. For instructions, see "Deploy the Visio Viewer from an Administrative Installation Point" later in this article.
From an administrative installation point, you can:
Distribute a command-line pointing to the administrative image containing the vviewer.msi file.
Distribute a shortcut to the vviewer.exe file for users to run.
Deploy the Visio Viewer from an administrative installation point.
Publish the Visio Viewer in Control Panel on your users' computers using Active Directory.
Distribute Command-line Options
When users double-click vviewer.msi on the a network share, installation runs with no command-line options. To apply your custom command-line options, users must click Run on the Windows Start menu and enter the path to vviewer.msi along with the command-line options you distribute.
To simplify this process, create a batch file in MS-DOS that runs vviewer.msi with your command-line options. Or you can create a Windows shortcut and add your custom options to the command-line box. Users double-click the batch file or shortcut to run the Setup command line that you have defined. You can store the batch file or shortcut in the root folder of the administrative installation point.
Distribute a Shortcut to vviewer.exe for Users to Run as Administrators
Create a shortcut on the network share to vviewer.exe.
Right-click the shortcut, and then click Properties.
Select the Run as different user check box, and then click OK.
You must then distribute this shortcut with the domain, name, and password of an administrator account.
After distributing the shortcut, each user must do the following:
Double-click the link to the shortcut.
Enter the Name, Password, and Domain of the administrator account to install Visio Viewer 2002.
Deploy the Visio Viewer from an Administrative Installation Point
For computers connected to a corporate network, first create a network share. Users on your corporate network can then access this share and install the Visio Viewer as long as they have permission to do so. After creating the network share, create an administrative installation of the Viewer.
In Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Microsoft Windows XP environments, different users have different levels of rights and permissions. In these environments, default users have limited access to system areas of the computer. Because of this, users must have elevated privileges and computers must have a group policy set to allow installation of the Visio Viewer 2002.
For more information on setting elevated privileges for users and for setting group policy for computers, see "Installations that Require Elevated Permissions" in the Visio 2002 SR-1 Resource Kit.
You can also set a Windows Installer system policy that grants users the administrator rights they need to install the Visio Viewer.
Important: Use caution when granting administrator rights to your uses. It may compromise your system security.
Note: For elevated installations to work, you must set a group policy for elevating privileges for users and computers in order for users to install the Visio Viewer. Use the Group Policy editor (gpedit.msc) and enable Allow Users Control Over Installs for the group. If you are deploying the Visio Viewer with elevated user installations and you are not using Active Directory for deployment, you must delete the ALLUSERS property in the Property table of the vviewer.msi. For more information on modifying the Property table of the msi, see Modify Installation with a Transform File below.
To run setup on an administrative installation point
Create a network share and save the vviewer.msi to this location.
Create an administrative installation point.
Copy the Visio Viewer setup files to the administrative installation point.
Note: For more information on creating an administrative installation point and copying setup files to that administrative installation point, see "Installing and Customizing Visio 2002" in the Visio 2002 SR-1 Resource Kit.
Click the Windows Start button, and then click Run.
Browse to the administrative installation folder where you've copied the setup files and click vviewer.msi, then click OK.
In the Open field of the Run dialog box add the command Msiexec /a, For example, Msiexec /a *c:\administrative installation point\*vviewer.msi.
Note: If you've created a transform file, apply the transform file to the msi by adding /ttransform to the end of the command line, where transform is the name of the transform file you created. For example, Msiexec /a c:\administrative installation point\vviewer.msi /t vtrans.mst.
For more information on creating a transform file, see "Modify Installation with a Transform File" later in this article.
On the Setup screen, do the following, and then click Next.
Enter your Organization name.
Change the Install Location.
Important: You must change the installation location from the default location to the location of your administrative installation point. If you are using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC), this location should be at least three levels deep.
- If you downloaded the vviewer.exe file from the Microsoft Office Downloads Web page, accept the default Product Key. If you are installing the Visio Viewer from a CD, enter the product key from the CD case.
Accept the Microsoft End-User License Agreement (EULA).
If you do not accept the EULA, users will not be able to do a silent installation of the Visio Viewer from the administrative installation point but will be required to run the full installation in order to accept the EULA.
Click Install.
Setup runs for the administrative installation. Users on your corporate network can now access the installation point and install the Visio Viewer. You can then distribute command lines to run the Visio Viewer msi on users' computers in unattended mode by adding /qb- as a command line option.
Note: For more information on modifying and distributing command line options, see "Customizing the Visio Installation" in the Visio 2002 SR-1 Resource Kit.
Modify Installation with a Transform File
You can modify the properties of the Visio Viewer 2002 installation by using two tools included in the Windows Installer SDK:
Orca, which allows you to open vviewer.msi and make changes to the tables in the msi.
Msitran.exe, which allows you to generate a new transform (MST) file based on the changed tables in the msi.
You can download the complete Windows Installer SDK from the Microsoft Download Center. The Windows Installer SDK includes the Msi.chm, which contains additional information about creating Windows Installer transform files.
Note: Creation and modification of transform files for the Visio Viewer 2002 are not supported in the Microsoft Office XP Custom Installation Wizard.
To modify the Visio Viewer msi by creating a transform file
Open Orca.
In Orca, click File, and then click Open. Navigate to the location where you saved vviewer.msi.
The Tables column displays the names of the tables in the MSI on the left. The window on the right displays the properties associated with those tables.
Navigate to the Property table. You can add properties and make changes to properties in the Property table. The following table provides some of the main properties you can modify.
Determines how to install the Visio Viewer on a computer.
Edits the contact field on the Support Info page in the ARP.
Displays the link to online Help.
Displays the Support phone number.
Disables the Change button in Add/Remove Programs.
Disables the Remove button in Add/Remove Programs.
Hides the Repair button on the Support Info page in Add/Remove Programs.
Specifies the icon that is displayed in Add/Remove Programs.
Specifies the location of the Readme on the Support Info page in Add/Remove Programs.
Prevents the Visio Viewer from being displayed in Add/Remove Programs. Can be used to lock out users.
Links to update on the Support Info page in Add/Remove Programs.
Populates the Organization field on the User Information page.
Directs the installation location for a standard installation.
Limits the user interface. Equivalent to using /q on a command line.
Clears the Organization field on the User Information page.
Clears the Username field on the User Information page.
Turns off user intervention on the File Type Association page.
Populates the PIDKEY fields on the User Information page.
Specifies the output directory of an administrative installation.
Specifies a transform or list of transforms.
Populates the User Name field on the User Information page.
Important: If you are deploying the Visio Viewer with elevated user installations and you are not using Active Directory for deployment, you must delete the ALLUSERS property. To do this, right-click in the ALLUSERS row, and then click Drop Row. When prompted to confirm that you want to delete the row, click Yes.
If you are doing a silent installation of the Visio Viewer, you must add the ASSOCIATE property to the Property table then create a transform file. Set the value of ASSOCIATE to 1 or 0. 1 turns on file association; 0 turns off file association. During silent installation, files will or will not be associated with the Visio Viewer according to the value.
After modifying the property values, click File, and then click Save As and save the msi file to a new name in the same directory where vviewer.msi is saved.
Copy Msitran.exe from the location where you installed it, to the folder where the two msi files are located. By default, Msitran.exe is installed on your computer in the \\Program Files\MsiIntel.SDK\Tools folder.
Click the Windows Start button, and then click Run.
Open a command prompt, and navigate to the folder where vviewer.msi, your modified msi, and Msitran.exe are located.
Create a transform file by typing Msitran.exe, the name of the original Visio Viewer msi, the name of your newly created MSI, and the name you want to give to the transform file at the command prompt.
For example:
Msitran.exe –g vviewer.msi vviewer2.msi vtrans.mst
Press Enter to create the new transform file, then exit the command prompt.
Msitran.exe creates the transform file and saves it in the same folder as the two msi files.
You can now apply the transform file to your administrative installation of the Visio Viewer, or you can use the same file if you are deploying the Visio Viewer using Active Directory.
Note: If you are deploying multiple copies of the Visio Viewer, you need to create a transform for each one of your scenarios. In addition, you should also create a modified vviewer.msi for each one of those scenarios, and then create your transform file based on that modified MSI.
Deploy the Visio Viewer using Active Directory
After creating the administrative point and any necessary transforms, you can deploy the Visio Viewer using Active Directory. You can set a policy for the Group Policy Object (GPO) so that the Visio Viewer is only available to specific groups. You can also modify the type of installation for these groups.
For example, you may have groups in your corporation who have Microsoft Visio installed. If one of these groups also needs to use the Visio Viewer, you can set a group policy so that only the group that needs the Visio Viewer can install it and use it.
Note: For more information about creating a transform file for installing the Visio Viewer, see "Modify Installation with a Transform File" earlier in this article.
Publishing the Visio Viewer to users requires that all the computers in your organization are running Windows 2000 or later. You must also have implemented a Active Directory service and Group Policy structure.
When you publish the Visio Viewer to users, it is available to all users in the designated group the next time they log on. Users install Microsoft Visio through Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. The Visio Viewer is then installed, along with any transform file associated with the MSI from your administrative installation point.
To deploy the Visio Viewer 2002 using Active Directory
On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
In the console tree, right-click the domain or organizational unit for which you want to set the Group Policy.
Click Properties, and then click the Group Policy tab.
Under Computer Configuration or User Configuration, open Software Settings.
Right-click the Software Installation node, and then click Properties.
In the Software Installation Properties dialog box, click the General tab, and then browse to the location of vviewer.exe.
In the New Packages section, select Publish.
This specifies that when you add vviewer.msi, by default you want it published with standard package properties.
In the Installation User Interface Options section, specify what level of information the user will see during installation. Select one of the following options:
Basic: Displays minimal information when users install the Visio Viewer. This installs the Visio Viewer in unattended mode and requires no user interface. This setting corresponds to the /qb- command line option.
Maximum: Displays all installation messages and screens during the installation of the Visio Viewer.
Click OK.
To publish the Visio Viewer using Active Directory
Open the Group Policy snap-in, click Computer Configuration or User Configuration, and then click Software Settings.
Right-click the Software Installation node, click New, and then click Package.
Browse to the Visio Viewer msi.
In the Open dialog box, select the Visio Viewer MSI in the File Name list, and then click Open.
In the Deploy Software dialog box, click Advanced published or assigned.
Click OK.
To modify installation using a transform file
In the Properties dialog box for the Visio Viewer msi, click the Modifications tab, and then click Add.
In the Open dialog box, browse to find the transform file that you want to apply to the installation of the Visio Viewer, and then click OK.
Re-associate File Types with Microsoft Visio
Default settings associate all Microsoft Visio file types with the Visio Viewer. If Visio is already installed, Visio will continue to be associated with VSD and VDX files. Therefore, when you open a VSD or VDX file from within Internet Explorer, you will launch Visio rather than the Visio Viewer.
If you want to re-associate file extensions with Microsoft Visio rather than the Microsoft Visio Viewer, you must use Control Panel to do a repair of Microsoft Visio.
To re-associate Visio Viewer file types with Microsoft Visio
Click the Windows Start button, and then click Control Panel.
Click Add/Remove Programs, and then select Microsoft Visio.
Click Change, and then click Repair to make file extension modifications.
Click Install.

|The effects of free-steam turbulence quantities on heat transfer to turbine blading
|Priddy, W. J.

|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
This thesis reports upon a second phase of research into the effects of free-stream turbulence quantities on heat transfer to impermeable gas turbine blading. It describes the development of a novel form of turbulence generator, to control separately the turbulence quantities intensity and frequency upstream of a cascade of blades at levels typical of the gas turbine. The turbulence generator was calibrated for these individual quantities, with a hotfilament anemometer system combined with on-line analog and digital signal processing. Blade heat transfer coefficients measured by two independent techniques are compared. A large quantity of data is presented, taken from a first stage high pressure rotor blade and a nozzle guide vane. These were subjected to steady flow and turbulent streams induced by both the novel turbulence generator and by more conventional turbulence grids. Surface pressure measurements have also been made, to predict the heat transfer rates by applying formulae derived from simple geometries. Much of the boundary layer over the two blades was apparently laminar. For the laminar regions, the simple formulae for heat transfer (flat plate for example) multiplied by a turbulence term, will provide as good a correlation as any. The intensity Tu is the most important turbulence quantity, but there is some evidence that the frequency of the perturbations can effect heat transfer. Other evidence presented would s'uggest that profile geometry is an overriding factor, which dictates the development of the turbulence, whatever its origin, as well as controlling its interaction with the boundary layer. None of the correlations available for the prediction of boundary layer transition are applicable. On both blade suction surfaces separation seems to have occurred, and the analysis indicates that transition on the pressure surfaces of modern blades will be inhibited by the high free-stream accelerations. Beyond transition, heat transfer is little affected by turbulence. It is now clear, that measurements of the turbulence as it develops through the cascade must be performed before a successful prediction procedure for all of the boundary layer regions can emerge.

New puppy mill law would give SPCA the 'teeth' to go after bad breeders
Currently, the SPCA can only raid a facility if they receive a tip from the public
Animal advocates in B.C. and some politicians are advocating for legislation that would give the B.C. SPCA more teeth to rein in irresponsible pet breeders.
Two seizures of mistreated animals in the past two weeks have shed light on the deplorable conditions in which some animals are kept.
Jane Thornthwaite, the B.C. Liberal MLA for North Vancouver-Seymour, introduced a private member's bill in 2012 that would have regulated breeding facility conditions, but it was never passed.
- Puppy mill bust one of the largest ever in B.C., says SPCA
- B.C. SPCA seizes 84 cats and dogs from Surrey breeder
- Puppy mill laws needed says B.C. SPCA
Now, she is trying again and this time she says she has the support of Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick, as well as a group of veterinarians and reputable breeders.
"What the regulations would do is give the SPCA the teeth to be able to come in and charge these unscrupulous breeders because the regulations are in place and they have essentially broken the law," said Thornthwaite.
They also want to create a breeder registry to help consumers make better decisions when it comes to purchasing animals.
"They've got to keep their ears and eyes open when they go to purchase a pet and be more scrupulous with regards to checking where that pet is being purchased," she said.
Thornthwaite says the government has been working on this bill for the past several months.
Current laws
The current legislation, the B.C. Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, only allows the SPCA to obtain a warrant if a member of the public complains about a breeder's unethical practices.
Thornthwaite hopes new legislation will allow the SPCA to make surprise visits to breeders to ensure they are following regulations.
She says the B.C. government provided the SPCA $5 million for infrastructure funding last year.

We visited LucasArts today for an updated look at some of their line-up including the upcoming expansion to Empire at War entitled Forces of Corruption. The guys at Petroglyph are going bigger with this installment adding a new Underworld faction with a completely different style of play, new Rebel and Empire units, bigger maps, and more features and options for setting up land battles.
Today LucasArts put the focus on getting to know the new Underworld faction a bit better. These guys are the scum of the galaxy. Led by the morally bankrupt Tyber Zann. He's one of the biggest and most influential criminals around. He's hatched a master plan to gank the newest Empire toy: the Super Star Destroyer Eclipse. This bad boy has a nasty weapon nearly as powerful as the recently destroyed Death Star and Tyber figures having such a toy in his collection might buy more power than he could otherwise accumulate.
Our first introduction to Tyber Zann today showed off how much charisma and influence the man is supposed to have. This particular level was set on a prison facility on the planet Kessel. Zann and his sidekick Urai Fen blasted their way through the guard forces by first using Zann's ability to bribe and take control of enemy forces. With a little bit of hired help, he was then able to come in contact with some of the rampaging prisoners who immediately joined Zann and his attempt to get out of the prison.
A pretty large force of criminals had built up towards the end of the level, which was a good thing since some of the new Empire units, the Dark Troopers, swept into the area and started putting serious hurt on the escaped prisoners. These bad ass units come equipped with different types of weapons including an incredibly powerful chain gun that is particularly useful for taking down infantry. Basically, all of the prisoners suddenly turn into a distraction for the fleeing Zann who ran from battle and towards the waiting Millennium Falcon to lift off the planet. If any of the prisoners gathered to facilitate his escape are left over at the end of the map, Zann is nice enough to kill all of them to make sure his flight isn't compromised.
That's basically the idea behind the Underworld. They're bad men that corrupt. In fact, corruption is how they're entire campaign on the galaxy map operates. In order to gain money, they send saboteurs to planets to corrupt the current system. That spy immediately begins siphoning money from that planet which slows down production and increases unit costs. Once the corruption has been spread, a noxious yellow gas surrounds the planet and any travel lines between any other corrupted planet.
One of the cool things about this is that the Underworld takes advantage of the corrupted chain of planets to travel freely about the galaxy. Once a planet has been corrupted, forces can move through a planet's space without having to stop and fight any hostile forces along the way. Instead, they're given the opportunity to bribe they're way through any blockade and access worlds farther into the galaxy that aren't directly linked to the Underworld controlled planets.

The Johannesburg Magistrates Court has ruled the arrest of the so-called Thulsie twins was lawful, based on a reasonable suspicion of offence.
Brandon Lee and Tony Lee Thulsie were detained by the Hawks on terror-related charges last month on suspicion that they were planning to bomb US and Jewish interests in the country.
The siblings challenged their arrest before pursuing a bail application, and defence lawyer Anneline van den Heever wants to take the matter to the High Court.
EWN's Gia Nicolaides explains that van den Heever is determined to have the case thrown out by appealing the ruling.
It's quite clear that van den Heever wants to make sure that the twins get off completely. If a court agrees with her that they were unlawfully arrested, those charges would be dropped against them.— Gia Nicolaides, EWN reporter
The brothers will remain in custody until Friday when a bail application is set to be heard.

VIEWING THE FORCEA classic struggle against a classic force,
like Homer's Odyssey, like the colossal Hercules daring to battle the supernatural,
Jason and the Argonauts,
all around,
evil force,
dark force,
Waging war, bitter war,
winning war, losing war,
constantly battling for rights,
battle, struggle, bing, bang,
sometimes it seems like the good end achieved,
sometimes like the evil is in retreat.
Then, sometimes, the setbacks,
the dark force, winding and tricking,
it wins,
it triumphs,
Never a doubt,
It wins, triumphs now,
hopeless, give up, surrender,
thinking, possible,
maybe, no,
cannot, fight it,
fight the hopelessness,
Eventually, the struggle, might prove worthy,
eventually, the darkness might be driven back for good,
maybe, possibly, hopefully, progress, movement ahead, success, triumph,
eventually the darkness might be put in a bottle and deposited in a cave,
The force, efforts, energy exertion,
mental energy, physical energy,
to push it back, the force,
push it, move it away,
the force,
And to destroy it forever.
more efforts,
continuing efforts.
A classic struggle.

be punished,
be condemned for my crime against my child.
Condemn me now,
for always,
I need that.

Content descriptions
|Summary, etc.:
From the acclaimed author of Birdmen comes a revelatory new history of the birth of the automobile, an illuminating and entertaining true tale of invention, competition, and the visionaries, hustlers, and swindlers who came together to transform the world. In 1900, the Automobile Club of America sponsored the nation's first car show in New York's Madison Square Garden. The event was a spectacular success, attracting seventy exhibitors and nearly fifty thousand visitors. Among the spectators was an obscure would-be automaker named Henry Ford, who walked the floor speaking with designers and engineers, trying to gauge public enthusiasm for what was then a revolutionary invention. His conclusion: the automobile was going to be a fixture in American society, both in the city and on the farm-and would make some people very rich. None, he decided, more than he. Drive! is the most complete account to date of the wild early days of the auto age. Lawrence Goldstone tells the fascinating story of how the internal combustion engine, a "theory looking for an application," evolved into an innovation that would change history. Debunking many long-held myths along the way, Drive! shows that the creation of the automobile was not the work of one man, but very much a global effort. Long before anyone had heard of Henry Ford, men with names like Benz, Peugeot, Renault, and Daimler were building and marketing the world's first cars. Goldstone breathes life into an extraordinary cast of characters: the inventors and engineers who crafted engines small enough to use on a "horseless carriage"; the financiers who risked everything for their visions; the first racers-daredevils who pushed rickety, untested vehicles to their limits; and such visionary lawyers as George Selden, who fought for and won the first patent for the gasoline-powered automobile. Lurking around every corner is Henry Ford, a brilliant innovator and an even better marketer, a tireless promoter of his products-and of himself. With a narrative as propulsive as its subject, Drive! plunges us headlong into a time unlike any in history, when near-manic innovation, competition, and consumerist zeal coalesced to change the way the world moved. Praise for Drive!"[A] marvelously told story . . . The author provides a terrific backdrop to the 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' era in which his story takes place. On display are lucky scoundrels and unlucky geniuses, hustlers, hacks, and daredevils galore. . . . Goldstone has written a book that beautifully captures the intertwined fates of these two ingenious pioneers."-The Wall Street Journal"A wonderful, story-filled saga of the early days of the auto age . . . Readers will be swept up in his vivid re-creation of a bygone era. . . . 'Horse Is Doomed,' read one headline in 1895. This highly readable popular history tells why."-Kirkus Reviews (starred reviews)"A splendid dissection of the Selden/Ford patent face-off and its place in automotive historiography, this work will be enjoyed by business, legal, transportation, social, and intellectual historians; general readers; and all libraries."-Library Journal (starred review) "This book contains the great names in automotive history-the Dodge brothers, Barney Oldfield, all the French (they seemed, until Ford, to lead the Americans in development of the vehicle)-and it is fascinating. . . . An engaging new take on the history of technological innovation."-BooklistFrom the Hardcover edition.

Jim Abbott was born without a right hand, and undoubtedly he was told many times to give up on his dream of playing Major League Baseball. It's hard enough for anyone to make it to the Big Leagues, but to overcome the challenge of playing with one hand is truly remarkable. Abbott grew up in Flint, Michigan, and developed into a star pitcher for the University of Michigan baseball team. He also won a gold medal as a member of the 1988 U.S. Olympic Team, and then became a first round selection by the California Angels. Remarkably, Abbott went directly from college to the Majors and never played a game of minor league baseball. He posted a 12-2 record in his rookie year, and in 1991 he won 18 games and finished third in the voting for the Cy Young Award as the best pitcher in the American League.
Before long people stopped talking about how remarkable it was that he could pitch and field with just one hand, and just started talking about what a great pitcher he was after he threw a no-hitter as a member of the New York Yankees. Abbott even picked up a couple of base hits while batting one-handed for the Milwaukee Brewers. Now retired, Abbott is a popular motivational speaker, and he certainly has a unique story of perseverance to tell.
TSE is ready to help you arrange for a Jim Abbott speaker appearance or Jim Abbott endorsement. We have years of experience setting up appearances by sports celebrities, and we can put that experience to work for you in the Jim Abbott appearance fee negotiations.
**Jim Abbott Speaker**
There are a lot of motivational speakers out there, but few can match the impact of a Jim Abbott speaker appearance. He never felt sorry for himself and never quit, and that helped him accomplish things that only he believed he could.
**Jim Abbott Appearance**
There have been many Jim Abbott appearances to accept the numerous awards he won during his career, like the Free Spirit Award for his charity work and the James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the country.
**Jim Abbott Endorsement**
One of the many Jim Abbott endorsements came from the College Baseball Hall of Fame, which inducted the former Michigan Wolverine in 2007.

My heart weighs heavy. I can feel it sitting hard in my chest, laboring my breath. It's making me want to close my eyes.
It's a real thing when people say that their heart weighs heavy. It feels like a dead weight – there's even a pulling sensation.
According to my enlightenment, this feeling is nothing but an illusion. If heaviness in the chest is an illusion, that will make lightness reality. Lightness is rightness.
It's now the next day. I wrote all of the above last night after having a lousy day. I was exhausted. Too tired to breathe even. And now here I am at work waiting for my first client to get here.
I don't want to work anymore….
Yesterday drained me. You know how I neurotically shopped for a used car not too long ago? Well, that's nothing compared to office hunting. Hunting for an affordable office that's suitable for massage therapy, is, well, nearly impossible.
I'm seeing my town in a whole new light. Understanding why there are so many shops and business's located in the center of town, and not on the outskirts – understanding why the rent is so high in the center. It also makes me realize that the people who run the town, the one's with the real money are the people who own the property that the businesses sit upon.
Commercial property is expensive. More expensive than renting an apartment. Real money can be made in commercial real estate.
It's like I'm looking directly into a game of Monopoly. A new layer of awareness unfurled, exposing it's sinister pearly whites.
Monopoly….That's all it is. A game of Monopoly.
I went on Loopnet, Showcase, craigslist, and a few other websites to read about every single open office space in Cheshire. EVERY SINGLE OPEN OFFICE SPACE.
I called two realtors, inspected one potential office, and on Thursday I'm going to see another.
I spent at least ten hours online searching for office spaces, examining each building, every detail, every pro and con. And after researching online, I drove around town looking for "FOR RENT" or "FOR LEASE" signs. I spotted many. They were displayed outside buildings that I had previously inspected online.
"That one's too expensive."
"That one only has two rooms."
"That one has too much space."
I drove very slow, swerving from time to time. There was too much to see, too much to inspect – I couldn't go slow enough. It was as though I was looking at my town for the very first time. Seeing it as a machine almost. A well-run oiled machine shining under the winter sun. Everyone playing their part, doing something, going somewhere – working the industrial digestive track.
A ghost machine that no one pays attention to.
Whenever I passed by a "FOR RENT" sign, I had to turn around and inspect the place. While I maneuvered through traffic – tons of traffic – I started to see traffic differently also.
"Oh yeah that's right. Keep coming ya'll. All potential clients. Look at all of you!"
The traffic excited me. Cheshire is on the up and up, rising in population. I licked my lips as I turned into a plaza to peer inside the windows of a vacant storefront. A small nail salon next to the vacant storefront gave me inspiration. If they can do it, so can I.
Until that is, I passed by a spa – a nice looking spa. And then another. I pulled into the parking lot of the last spa and sat in my car. I went on Yelp and searched all the nearby spa's. There were about 15 in a 7 mile radius.
I gazed at the nice looking spa before collapsing my forehead onto my steering wheel in defeat.
"I don't have that much money. I can't do this. These are the places that are busy, not a flimsy cheap cold office. I'll never make it…"
My client is done. She said she'll follow me wherever I go.
Originally I was going to buy an existing massage clinic in the heart of Cheshire, but the woman selling it wanted $35K. I said no. Then last night once I had gotten home from my lousy day, after haven written the first paragraph of this post, she emailed me a counter-offer. It was a hell of a lot lower than $35K.
And that's where I am right now. Contemplating buying her business. It has a ton of space, its own washer and dryer, two bathrooms, 3 massage rooms with the possibility of adding a fourth, all utilities included. Comparatively, it's the best and only suitable space for a massage clinic. First floor, ample parking, right on the main strip….
I can turn it into a cash cow – a big fat money making cow. I know I can.
I'm going to be massively in debt for a very long time. A big hole that will take years to fill.
I'm trying not to have tunnel vision. I want to think about this rationally, see it clearly. It's just that, I don't know, it makes sense to buy it. It's already equipped with staff, clients, LLC, decor – all that is already there. If I were to start up my own business from scratch, it will cost close to her asking price. Not only that, but I will have zero money coming in for a while.
No matter which way I look at it, it makes sense to buy it.
I'm insanely tired. I keep going to bed super late. I stay up late watching documentaries, reading interesting articles, writing down blog idea's (which I never use).
Okay, now it's 1:42 in the morning. I tried to sleep, but couldn't. I stayed up watching stupid Ted Talks and got my brain all wired. In one of the episodes, they mentioned epinephrine. I think my brain is making way too much.
On my way out of the house yesterday, I nearly slipped on some ice that lay buried beneath the snow. I immediately called my parents.
Me – "Hey Dad I almost slipped on some ice in the driveway. Please be careful with Mom so she won't fall? I think you should hold her by the elbow."
Dad – "Or maybe she can hold me up." He laughs his laugh.
Me – "I get so nervous about Mom falling. I'm so worried about it."
Dad – "We'll be careful, don't worry."
Me – "Okay good. I got to go. I got to go to work."
Dad – "Okay, be careful driving. It's icy."
Me – "You guys be careful!"
Dad – "We'll try. Thanks for the phone call."
I can hear my Mom in the background telling me she loves me and thanks for calling.
Dad – "Okay we'll see you later. Be careful."
Me – "Yeah I'll see you guys later. Please be careful too."
That last bit of the convo made me smile. We couldn't stop warning each other enough to "be careful."
Who can have such a light heart at times like these? When an elderly overweight grandmother who recently had a knee replacement and a 30 pound tumor removed, who is in constant danger of falling every time she gets up – how can my heart be light?
How can my heart be light when I'm planning on buying a massage business?
How can my heart be light when I'm turning 34 on Friday? On the most depressing, cold day of the year? How?
I tend to malinger. Don't mind me. Melanie Malingers, or Malingering Mel.
No, I'm not malingering. I'm legitimately stressed.
I'm going to attempt sleep again.
I finally slept. I slept until 11:30 and it was wonderful.
I'm in work waiting for my first client. I'm going to publish this post and start another.

Enjoy Sagano Scenic Rail, Hozugawa River Boat & Arashiyama
This was well organized and our guide, Mr Yoichiro Nishi, was professional and kind. We had our elderly parents with us and he adjusted the itinerary and pace to suit them so that they could enjoy themselves.
Enjoy Sagano Scenic Rail, Hozugawa River Boat & Arashiyama
So glad we booked this trip. After the bustle of Kyoto, the peaceful surrounds at the temple and bamboo forest at Arashiyama were welcome. And the Hozugawa boat trip was thrilling. Our host Kazu made the day extra special. Definitely do this trip when visiting Kyoto
Tour Saihō-ji (Moss Temple), a UNESCO World Heritage Site
This was a tour that we've never experienced before! Toko was our lovely guide & was very informative about everything in the temple & moss gardens. The scripture writing & chanting inside the temple was an awesome experience to do. Would definitely recommend doing this!!
Visit Saihō-ji (Moss Temple), a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
very nice garden, the chanting and the writing of the wish prior to entering the garden was also very special. Our guide, Junko, was also very nice, she even prepared English translations of what we were saying, so we could follow along. The experience was very nice and although the entry fee to the garden was highest amongst other gardens in Japan it was not ridiculous and considering the limitations on amount of people and upkeep for the garden and that you also get your own special meditation session, I thought it was worth it. Good experience as part of our Japan trip!
Visit Saihō-ji (Moss Temple), a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
Steve was an absolute pleasure to visit with and went out of his way to help me. He paid for the taxi, took me out for lunch after the temple and showed me around the basement of a department store at all the ornate foods and gifts. He then helped with my travel arrangements to Ohara which is a little out of the way.
The gardens themselves are very unique and well worth a visit.

Tokyo Sexwale pulls out before first round of FIFA presidential vote
3 // 26 Feb 2016, 18:29 IST
ZURICH (Reuters) - South African Tokyo Sexwale pulled out of the race to become the next president of FIFA on Friday, announcing in mid-speech that he was suspending his campaign with immediate effect.
Sexwale had been seen as the outsider in the five-man race.
"I have got a surprise for you. My campaign ends today and I suspend my participation. With only four people, it is your problem now," he said, speaking after the other four candidates.
Sexwale had not been backed by his own African confederation, with CAF making public in January its support of Asian confederation president Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa.

Sign Applications
Okay – Paul's been doing some digging about those signs on the new pier building and has discovered some interesting stuff.
Firstly F&Bs – their sign is up but Paul cannot find that they have applied for permission. He says 'It is always possible there is some other permission for another building at a different address, before they called it the Promenade, but I don't think so – they wouldn't have applied for planning permission when they don't know who the tenants are…'
However they have now applied, under the slightly-sinister-sounding 'Restaurant D' to retain the signage. I'm hoping that this PDF link will work; they don't always, but if it doesn't show it's just a plan of the building + sign. It's Sign B that is the massive one you see from the river. Here is the application – Their application is coded 12/0258/A.
If you're planning to comment on the application it's worth dealing with this as soon as possible because the application went in on 7 February and deadline for objections will stop VERY soon. And with the new greenwich rules you need 8 objections for the committee even to consider it.
Secondly Zizzi. They don't have a sign up yet but they have applied for permission for one and at least they're owning up to their name on their application, code 12/0307/A
Just because Zizzi's signs aren't up yet doesn't mean they're are going to be any less tacky or intrude any less on a classic Protected Vista (from Island Gardens to Greenwich) As Paul says, these signs UNDOUBTEDLY affect the setting of a listed building. He says, and I confess I agree, that this should go before English Heritage before it is even considered.
Remember, folks – each of these applications need at least 8 objections before it's even discussed. If you don't care for the signs, now's the time to speak…
