New telephoto zoom lens for the Leica SL-System:
LEICA APO-VARIO-ELMARIT-SL 90-280mm f/2.8-4 versatile zoom lens designed for a wide range of situations, from close-ups to travel to sports photography
Leica Camera has today announced the latest addition to the Leica SL-System lens portfolio: the Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90–280 mm f/2.8-4.
Available from 24 March 2016, this fast telephoto zoom lens offers a range of focal lengths that follows on directly from the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–90 mm f/2.8–4 ASPH., which launched with the SL camera at the end of last year. Together, these two lenses cover focal lengths spanning 24 to 280mm, providing the versatility to shoot a multitude of subjects and situations – from close-ups to travel and sports photography.
The Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90–280 mm f/2.8-4 is characterised by its incredibly high speed and offers outstanding optical and mechanical precision. Its integrated optical image stabilisation (OIS) enables exposure times to be increased by up to 3.5 stops, and guarantees shake-free hand-held photography even at telephoto settings.
Furthermore, this exceptional zoom lens features an entirely new design, with dual internal focusing that ensures extremely fast and quiet autofocus, and delivers consistently impressive imaging performance at distances from infinity to its close focusing limit.
With a close focusing distance of 0.6 metres at 90mm and 1.4 metres at 280mm, and a reproduction ratio of 1:4.8 to 1:5, this versatile lens is particularly useful for close-up photography.
As with all Leica lenses, the Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90–280 mm f/2.8-4 was designed and developed by Leica's optical specialists in Wetzlar, Germany, combining outstanding optical expertise, cutting-edge technology and premium materials – guaranteeing the consistently high quality that Leica photographers have come to expect. The design of the Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90–280 mm f/2.8-4 comprises 23 elements (in seven moving groups), seven of which are made from glass with anomalous partial dispersion, ensuring minimal chromatic aberration. The movement of the two focusing elements is provided by newly developed drive technology with linear positioning of the lenses by stepping motors.
This means the overall length of the lens does not change when either focusing or zooming. In addition, the lens hood supplied with the lens suppresses undesirable reflections and stray light, and prevents the risk of flare.
Furthermore, the Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90–280 mm f/2.8-4 is sealed against dust and splash-proof, to protect it from the elements.
The Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90–280 mm f/2.8-4 features a detachable tripod plate to connect the lens to a tripod for easier handling. Its ergonomic design makes the lens easier to carry by hand and also allows the attachment of a lens belt. A lockable rotating tripod collar ensures the lens can be fixed at any angle, and features detents every 90 degrees for rapid switching from landscape to portrait format.
The current Leica SL-System portfolio will be extended later this year with the addition of the Leica Summilux-SL 50 mm f/1.4 ASPH. prime lens (available in Q4 2016). Furthermore, the extensive compatibility of the Leica SL-System gives photographers access to the majority of Leica lenses ever produced. For example, all Leica T lenses can be mounted on the Leica SL without an adapter, while the M-Adapter T enables the use of almost all Leica M-Lenses constructed since 1954. In addition, Leica S-Lenses can be mounted with the S-Adapter L (available in May 2016), and the forthcoming R-Adapter (available Q3 2016) will allow Leica R-System lenses to be used with the SL camera.
Availability and pricing
The APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90–280 mm f/2.8-4 is scheduled to be available in the UK from authorised Leica stockists from 24 March 2016, at a suggested retail price of £4,650 including VAT.

1 Never hold the combination of a T camera and this lens just by the camera housing; always support the lens as well. This relieves pressure on the camera bayonet fitting.
2 The nominal focal lengths of the Leica SL lenses are based on 35mm format, i.e. on a film format of
24 x 36mm. In comparison, at 23.6 x 15.7mm, the sensor in the Leica T (Typ 701) is somewhat smaller, by a factor of approximately 0.66. Therefore, when used on the Leica T (Typ 701), these lenses have angles of view corresponding to lenses with focal lengths that are longer by a factor of approximately 1.52 (1.52 = reciprocal of 0.66).
3 Function is not available when used on the Leica T (Typ 701).
4 Function is slower when used on the Leica T (Typ 701).

Peter Jackson either concocted a very elaborate April Fools' prank, or he accidentally revealed some pretty big movie news.
If you watched "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" sneak peek that was revealed yesterday, you might have noticed Jackson fumbling around a bit in his desk. The clever folks over at First Showing honed in on that moment and noticed quite the Easter egg: a script for "Star Wars: Episode VIII" with Jackson's name on it.
Is Jackson going to be helming the next "Star Wars" movie after J.J. Abrams wraps on "Star Wars: Episode VII"? It doesn't seem likely, unfortunately. As some keen-eyed redditors pointed out, the script for "The Simillarion" can also be seen sitting on a shelf, and that movie isn't being made any time soon, thanks to the Tolkien estate. We'll categorize this under "elaborate April Fools' prank" until proved otherwise.
Still, a "Star Wars" movie from Jackson would definitely be interesting. He'd probably find some way to set at least a portion of it in New Zealand and would definitely put his elaborate special effects knowledge to good use. If "Episode VIII" has to return to Mustafar for any reason, at least Jackson can say he cut his teeth on Mordor and the depths of Moria.
Would you like to see Jackson helm a "Star Wars" movie? Do you think this is an Easter egg or a prank? Tell us in the comments section below or on Twitter!

Just like many other software companies before them, Spotify has implemented a so-called "free time" in which their employees can work on a project of their choosing, on which they would otherwise have no time to spend developing.
At Spotify, this free time used to be called "hack days" and most employees used to have a day and a half to work on their specific project to improve the company in anyway ( from improvements to the building, to the operations, new product add-ons, etc. ) at the beginning of their "three week sprints". But this used to happen at a time when the company was still pretty small and with rather few employees. As the company got bigger, they noticed that it became harder and harder for employees to find the time to take the hack days. The employees were still the ones to find a solution: the started saving their hack days and organised a hack week together with other teams. Since the results were pretty amazing, it did not take long for someone to pitch the idea to the CTO and CPO and they were immediately on board.
As Joakim Sundén put it, "[a] work group with people who wanted to help was formed and we ended up with a good mix of people from engineering, product, design and other departments, with experience from running big hack day events at places like Netflix and Yahoo. We read up on how others have organized events like this, for example Atlassian's ShipIt Days and Jurgen Appelo's Exploration Days, shared our experiences and our ideas in a workshop and communicated the event in an e-mail to the rest of the company:
So what is hack week about? Well, hack week is a chance for you to explore new ideas and collaborate on things you feel passionate about. Remember all those great ideas you've had that you never have time for because you're too busy with your normal work? Those are exactly the kinds of ideas that Hack Week is made for! It could be a new tool you want to explore, an awesome product feature, a process improvement, an ambitious marketing campaign, or anything else that will help improve Spotify. Think of an idea and seek out others who can help you with it, or join up with someone else's project. Here are some possible project ideas…"
A lot of ideas have been brought up in this one week event. Some of them will be implemented, some won't. But this Hack Week idea clearly shows why Spotify gets better and better all the time.
And to leave you with some insight from the event, here is the promotional clip that they have shown:
Until next time, I wish you a delicious day!

What we're about
The Black Elite is a group where people of any race or nationality can come together, share information, network, have fun, build relations and enjoy black culture and arts.
This is an open forum to be used to promote knowledge, events, businesses, entertainment and general positive inspiration. I started this because the Black Girls Elite group was deleted and I thought it was a good idea but I also thought why excluded men from the group and why exclude other races as I have many friends that are also heavily influenced by blacl culture.
If we want to do a ladies or men only meet up's then we can but its good for the sexes to mix, socialize and network together at times as well.
The group is here to enable us to meet new people and discover new places or events and have some fun. We focus on events that are of cultural interest as well as business networking, singles events, workshops, creative sessions, photography shoots and lots lots more.
So come and join in and lets meet up.

Consumers, often very demanding customers, have their own pocketbooks at stake and lack product knowledge. Three immigrant business owners from as many continents draw on their culture to enhance their customer service.
Mahmud Jafri, originally from Pakistan, imports, manufactures and retails flooring and window treatments, including hand-knotted rugs, and provides interior design consultation. He's CEO at Dover Rug & Home Inc. in Natick, Mass.
Rajendra ("Raj") Hariprashad, who moved here from Guyana, South America, is president of Ena's Driving School Inc. in Hollis and Richmond Hill, N.Y. It offers private and commercial license aspirants driving instruction and state-mandated courses.
Zlatan Beca, from the former Yugoslavia, co-founded and is vice president of sales at Repair Jungle LLC in Bethesda, Md. His website and mobile app enable screened auto mechanics and body shops to bid on consumer car repairs.
Jafri grew up in an area without industry, factory and construction jobs, where hand-knotted rugs and related crafts are prized.
"We, as importers and retailers are totally dependent on the designers, weavers and washers," he says. "If they want more money, we have no choice but to pay them."
Dover Rug's customers may test the fine rug they're buying on a one- or two-day trial.
"This lets the customer check price, quality and how well it works in their home in the morning, evening and afternoon," Jafri says. "It also gives them the luxury of comparison shopping."
Ena's Driving School's Hariprashad drove to a convenience store to get a customer with a learner's permit, who objected to his youth. He then told her he'd take her home without cost.
"I'm not going to come in the car with you," she reiterated. He said he'd wait in the parking lot for an hour. So he sat.
That changed her mind. She got in the car, drove 45 minutes to Long Island and another 15 minutes around her neighborhood before she said, "I like you. I'll take the lessons." She wouldn't accept any other instructor.
Although Hariprashad immigrated at age 11, he incorporates the best of his first culture in his work.
"We treat people nicely," he says, "everyone we come in contact with."
Repair Jungle's Beca thrives in the Washington, D.C., metro area, which is a melting pot.
"I can relate to almost anyone from any nationality, any ethnic background," he observes. "After I see a name and talk a little, I can tell where they're from. It makes me more personable."
"The approach we take is that of an elite restaurant about to lose a customer even though we're not about to lose one," he says. "We'll do whatever it takes to make things right." He'll offer to drive to a customer 50 miles away or, when one assumes he will, just does.
Beca says cable companies and health insurers create a feeling of distance among consumers — "like talking to a machine or a person overseas." He also reports that cars sit in driveways, because consumers dislike the repair process.
His staff speaks with or emails every potential customer, all treated identically, regardless of repair cost. Beca has invested as many as 40 emails to assure consumers of the quality of the work and to make them feel comfortable.

In southern Laos the small town of Champasak, along the Mekong river, worth absolutely a visit because is the location of the Khmer ruins of Wat Phou Champasak.
I arrived in Champasak from Thailand through the Chong Mek border crossing, towards the city of Pakse. I got my Lao visa in Bangkok but is also possible obtain it from this border post.
Wat Phou Champasak is located at the base of mount Phou Kao, few kilometers far from the Mekong river in Champasak province.
There was a temple on the site as early as the 5th century, but the surviving structures date from the 11th to 13th centuries.
Wat Phou Champasak was a part of the Khmer empire, with Angkor as capital, to the southwest.
The mountain gained spiritual importance from the linga-shaped protuberance on its summit, the mountain itself was therefore considered the home of Shiva, and the river as representing the ocean.
The temple was naturally dedicated to Shiva, while the water from the spring which emerges directly behind the temple was considered sacred.
The site later became a center of Theravada Buddhist worship, which it remains today.
Like most Khmer temples, Wat Phou Champasak is made of laterite and sandstone and is orientated towards the east; 6 km east of the temple, on the west bank of the Mekong, lay the city, while a road south from the temple itself led to other temples.
Little restoration work has been done, other than the restoration of boundary posts along the path. Wat Phou Champasak was designated a World Heritage Site in 2001.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Are you Tealin' it? That's the catchy little marketing slogan being used for UNC Wilmington athletics these days. I don't think many Seahawk fans are "tealin' it" right now. They now own the embarrassing distinction of being the NCAA Division One program with the longest amount of time without a head basketball coach.
Because of this lengthy search for a new head coach, and because of the many hiccups along the way, I'm thinking they might be feeling some other shades of the spectrum.
Like red – because they are embarrassed that UNCW is being made fun of in conversations and on message boards by most anyone familiar with the search.
Or blue – because they are so depressed thinking about what the lack of a head coach and staff has done to the future of the program.
Or maybe green – because they are envious of the schools, like Hofstra and Marshall, who hired their head coaches in less than two weeks.
Or maybe they're feeling yellow – because they are scared this is not going to have a happy ending.
UNCW is a great university, and Wilmington is a wonderful place to live. Those two attributes alone make a turnaround possible, but something good needs to happen quickly and I'm just not "tealin' it" right now.
That's my turn. Now it's your turn. To comment on this segment, or anything else, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Emailed comments from viewers:
In reference to your broadcast and news piece on WECT entitled "Are you Tealin it" I wanted to send a quick note of disappointment to let you know I think you are missing the mark. While I understand the cute play on words, the reality is that anyone is not tealin it really need to step back and reexamine their motivations.
Gary, regardless of how well or how poor our athletic teams perform, what should matter most is supporting the student athletes at the core of everything. We are often so hasty in our frustrations that we fail to realize what should really make us want to be "tealin it"…and that's the student athletes who put their heart and soul into every game and represent UNCW across the country.
Fair weather fans can go move to Raleigh for all care…but I will always be tealin' it whether we win, whether we lose, and whether we have a coach or not. Regardless of circumstances it does no one any good to turn their back on the student athletes or our Seahawk teams in their time of need and it certainly doesn't help anyone to give up supporting Teal. So as for me…I'll be tealin it till the day I die.
Perhaps the problem with finding a new head basketball coach is more about the athletic department than the coaching position. Are there bigger changes that have to be made first?
I think that UNCW needs to look around at their opportunities within the Wilmington area. They have a great head coach at CFCC with D1 playing experience, even experience in the NCAA National Tourney, and an awesome record for CFCC. He's young and can relate to the guys trying to succeed in basketball. Who says older is better and wiser? We see that hasn't obviously worked yet. 'Teal' out your options UNCW!

Looking like an off-duty model just got a lot easier and cheaper.
According to Jourdan Dunn, you'll need a bodysuit, dark denim, aviators and a casual jacket—a simple and wearable checklist. Considering that she's mastered casual, yet cool, style enough to land a major deal with British retailer Missguided, taking her advice will work to your benefit.
The model's collaboration with the brand includes essentials (like bodysuits and hoodies), athleisure and fashionable finds like metallic, over-the-knee boots and mesh tops. Now, many of the items in the Londunn x Missguided collection are on sale, including her all-occasion bodysuit (as seen in the photo above), which is now $9.
Of all of the things on her checklist, the bodysuit is a must-have. Like a white T-shirt, there are so many ways to style it that you can never go wrong buying one. It won't go out of style. For example, you can take a note from Jourdan's fashion book and pair with denim or you can wear it under your favorite print skirt. The options are endless.
Since it's a staple, the fit means everything, making bodysuits a expensive buy...unless, of course, you buy your bodysuit on sale. Check out the bargain bodysuits below!
Jourdan's bodysuit: Londunn + Missguided Grey Square Neck Bodysuit, Was $38, Now $9

text: In this one-day workshop we introduced students to our work and asked them to imagine and draft quick future-scenarios on body-centric societies, augmented senses and alternative realities. While the overall aim was to design a narrative that could be used to trigger new and uncommon ideas, many of the student presented us with a first product-idea. Others suggested a rather utopian vision of the hopes and dreams we might share about technology and started to question the need and use of Wearable Technology all together.

My stash is currently compromised of an abundance of Rico Design yarns that I purchased last year when Olly and I had just moved to Somerset, and I was still unemployed. I made a wholesale bulk buy with the intention of keeping some of the lovely stuff for myself and selling some on ebay for a little bit of pocket money. This was not a successful endeavor due to starting full-time work very shortly after, moving house and generally being too lazy to keep the ebay posts updated. Pocket money is no longer an issue, but this stash is. I'm still quids out and knee-deep in unopened packets of yarn, and 18 months later, I'm getting kind of tired of looking at these yarns. I bought entirely too much cotton instead of wool blends, which is just no fun now that we're approaching "knitting season" and the new autumnal colours are coming out. I will say though that the cottons have come in terribly handy for babies.
So many babies. My cousin's wife gave us beautiful baby John Henry this spring. Another cousin delivered the delightful little Sunny this summer. My friend Julie gave us adorable little Lucy. Sarah had her third in a line of what might be many - baby Ava. Our friends in London just greeted a humongous little boy into their lives this week. It's all very exciting, and I owe them all tiny little knits.
I had intended to go to the Glastonbury Wool Festival last Saturday but found myself absolutely paralyzed with "lady pains" and couldn't so much as leave the sofa once I made my way there. So there I sat all day, dreaming at 10AM about the sheep run down Glastonbury High Street, wondering at 2PM about the fashion show, and generally feeling sorry for myself. I was in good company as Olly was in a good deal of man pain after a late night out. So we watched a several hours of Netflix rubbish that afternoon, and I managed to knock out nearly a whole entire baby cardigan.
Rather than dive straight into aforementioned stash and reach for a fresh ball of yarn, I decided to unravel the beginnings of what was probably never going to be a cotton top. That's the picture you see above. It's a lovely open fan stitch from a vintage 80's pattern that I lost interest in almost immediately after starting and was honestly never going to complete. It felt good to get rid of a dead WIP and empty the project bag, freeing up some space in my ever more-stuffed desk drawers. It felt good to rewind the ball of cotton yarn and make something new. It felt good to practically finish the project in one day! More about the FO and the Glastonbury Wool Festival to come...

If you notice higher gasoline prices at your local pump, don't think it's because there isn't enough oil to go around. Supplies of refined products, both gasoline and heating oil, are plentiful. Gasoline stocks rose this past week, but prices climbed higher anyway, which is contrary to what we all learned in Economics 101. In fact, there hasn't even been a significant hurricane, something that often causes refinery shutdowns and temporary refined-product shortages at this time of year.
Oil prices (and that includes prices for gasoline and heating oil) are acting completely independently of supply/demand fundamentals. It's the recent rise in the stock market and the weakening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies that are making the fuels you consume more expensive. Traders believe that oil, just like gold, will hold its value as currencies decline.

Jay Leno: Everybody Got "Screwed" by NBC
Jay Leno was on the HLN show hosted by Joy Behar's hair and earrings the other day, and she talked to him backstage. Turns out he thinks that both he and Conan O'Brien got "screwed." Here is the video!
Somehow this is big enough news that it is on CNN's front page right now. Didn't we already do the whole "who got screwed more," thing months ago? Oh well, let's do it again!

CFP GamiFIN Conference 9th to 10th May 2017, Pori, Finland
Welcome to University Consortium of Pori, Finland, May 9. - 10. 2017
Submission DEADLINE: January 9th, 2017. Selected contributions will be published in special issue of International journal of Serious Games
We are pleased to invite you to GamiFIN conference, on 9th to 10th of May 2017. GamiFIN is a meeting place where researchers, industry and experts present results from their latest work regarding gamification, technology, media and digital culture for the future society.
Gamification is the use of game thinking and game mechanics in non-game contexts to engage users in solving problems and to increase their motivation and contributions. Gamification has been studied and applied in several domains, with some of the main purposes being to engage, teach, entertain, measure, and to improve the perceived ease of use of information systems. Typically gamification applies to non-game and non-entertainment applications and processes, in order to encourage people to adopt them, or to influence how they are used. Peer-support activities involve cooperation and professional and discipline-specific conversations.)
GamiFIN is organised by the University Consortium of Pori. University Consortium of Pori is a centre of 2 500 students, 170 experts and four universities operating networked in a multi-science environment. UCPori carries out research and education in art, economics, culture, industrial management, technology, and social sciences, and provides a unique multidisciplinary environment for the research.
GamiFIN brings together people not only from different fields of academia but also from different sectors such as companies and other institutions. GamiFIN is a great opportunity to present your novel and ground-breaking research results, benefit from the interaction with industry and practitioners and to get new ideas how to utilize gamificational approaches in research as well as in industrial level.
GamiFIN 2017 is proud and delighted to announce our confirmed keynote speakers, we do have a great combination of excellence around gamification: Dr. Sylvester Arnab, Reader in Game Science, Coventry University (UK), Dr. Sebastian Deterding, a senior research fellow at the Digital Creativity Labs, University of York (UK) and Dr. Juho Hamari, a Professor of Gamification at UCPori and a leading researcher at the Game Research Lab University of Tampere. Exciting lectures ahead concentrating on e.g. the current state of the art in the field of academic research on gamification, why gamification needs theory and how to transform ordinary tasks into extraordinary experiences. Be sure not to miss these key-talks next May in Pori, Finland!

Great universal cream that has multiple uses such as makeup remover, cleanser, moisturiser for face and body, hand cream, foot cream and I find it also helps with my psoriasis by keeping the area soft...it doesn't irritate the skin either.
Couldn't be without it!!!!

I am extremely disapointedin this product has a negative effect on the skin to the point of blocking the pores and to try to cleanse the skin after use is Impossible it Is not a cheap product for my pocket and probably many like me who are in the same position inwould advise you to take it off your shelves
Thu Dec 17 10:50:57 GMT 2015 by
I received this as a sample and will be ordering a bigger pot. It is, as other reviewers have pointed out very greasy for a couple of hours after application. However, when absorbed it makes my skin feel lovely. I have only used it on my face as I did not realise it had a multiple functional use. After a bit of sunshine I had a bit of flaky skin, that's all sorted with this product. I'm in my 50s if this helps anyone reading this review.
Wed Jun 17 09:18:43 BST 2015 by
This cream is very greasy so good for massage. other than that, I haven't seen any major change yet.
Mon Jun 09 15:58:15 BST 2014 by
It is a decent buy, but not something really magical. I haven't seen any magical effect yet. May do later.
Mon Mar 24 13:28:18 GMT 2014 by
great product fast delivery reasonable price
Sat Mar 01 01:39:46 GMT 2014 by
use it every night, and you'll see pleasant changes on your skin when waking up the following morning.
I've tried probably more than 20 kinds of hand cream, but seems my hands favor this one most so far.
Mon Feb 10 04:24:14 GMT 2014 by
Great for its price. I use it every night, it seems quite oily just after application, but your skin looks great the next morning!
Mon Jan 20 15:29:00 GMT 2014 by
Excellent product. Fast shipping!

It is greasy, absorption is very slow on my face.

It is my second time buying the Egyptian Magic Creamproduct, it is really good quality. Highly recommended.

Five Points On How the Pharmaceutical Industry Creates Middle Class Jobs
The pharmaceutical industry supports 50,000 trucking jobs and other supply line jobs that contribute $30B annually to the U.S. economy
Jobs in trucking, construction and manufacturing are the foundations of the American middle class, and the pharmaceutical industry employs tens of thousands of workers who build the facilities where drugs are made, help manufacture treatments and packaging, and drive across the highways of America to bring these life-saving medicines to local drug stores. In addition to 50,000 trucking jobs, the industry also supports 93,000 building services jobs, 6,000 manufacturing jobs, and 12,000 jobs for professionals in the electricity field. Steven Mongiardo, Executive Director of Global Facilities Management at Merck, compared his job managing a pharmaceutical facility site in southern Pennsylvania to being the mayor of a city. "The site is a small city – we have roughly 10,000 workers working in 6 million square feet of facility space," he said. These workers have high-quality jobs that are often unionized, adding more than $30 billion total in value to the U.S. economy while at the same time ensuring that life-saving medicines reach those who need them the most.
The pharmaceutical industry is creating vocational, skills-based jobs that pay good wages
Vocational, trade-based science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) jobs are a critical building block of the American economy. These jobs—which usually require an associate's degree or some accredited post high school training—are some of the very jobs President Obama had in mind when he announced America's College Promise in his 2015 State of the Union address, a plan to provide free community college education to all students. Pharmaceutical companies are one of the top employers of vocationally-based STEM jobs. One such job in this category is a lab technician, a professional who helps drug researchers collect data, maintain equipment and calculate results. Lab technicians are required to have an associate's degree and earn an average of $40,000 a year. The number of lab tech jobs is expected to grow by almost 30% between 2012 and 2022, creating approximately 47,900 additional jobs.
The pharmaceutical industry is a tech and innovation leader, on par with Silicon Valley
America has long been the global innovation leader—the telephone, television, and the internet are just a few of thousands of U.S. inventions that have changed the world. When you think "innovation" in the 21st century, you might think of Silicon Valley icons such as Jack Dorsey or Elon Musk. But the biopharmaceutical sector actually supports many of the jobs that make America the world's top innovation hub. Merck's Mongiardo said that though the physical products are small in the pharmaceutical industry—vials, syringes, capsules/tablets etc.—the scale of what's required to produce these products is "magnitudes larger." Numerous software engineers work in the biopharmaceutical sector, writing programs that allow researchers to track clinical drug trials and their outcomes. The industry also employs many of the top Ph.Ds. in chemistry and biology, biostatisticians, and more. The industry is a magnet for the best and brightest STEM professionals globally, which ensures that America remains the most innovation-driven economy in the world.
The pharmaceutical industry recognizes union jobs
Throughout American history, organized labor has been key to ensuring that workers have safe conditions, good benefits, competitive wages, and more. The pharmaceutical industry recognizes that importance. The Pharmaceutical Industry Labor Management Association (PILMA) is a unique coalition of pharmaceutical industry companies and the unions that represent their workers. PILMA works to provide training to workers, organize conferences, and give tours of training facilities to industry professionals. PILMA, in that vein, represents uncommon cooperation between unionized workers and the industries that employ them. "We need highly-skilled tradesmen, more so than most industries," Mongiardo says, adding that many of the building trades unions have the best vocational training programs that he has seen. And Allan Rhodes, a Testing and Balancing Instructor at the Sheet Metal Workers Local 19 union, emphasized that since manufacturing stainless steel (frequently used at pharmaceutical plants because of their need for extremely clean environments) is more complicated than regular steel, training is of utmost importance. "It's an intense training program that even apprentices go through," he said. "I think it's at least two nights a week, just getting your feet wet."
Pharmaceutical companies are helping educate tomorrow's workforce
The U.S. is struggling to keep up with countries like China and India in science and math education. According to a recent report by the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, the U.S. will need to produce one million additional STEM graduates over the next decade to maintain its position as the world's leader in science and technology innovation. To meet this critical national need, pharmaceutical companies have funded almost 100 initiatives to improve STEM education in the United States. Companies including GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, and Bayer USA sponsor events like the U.S. Science and Engineering Festival and support summer science camps. These initiatives aim to develop early interest in STEM careers among children—especially girls and minorities—and end the shortage of STEM professionals in the U.S.

1930s Hairstyles
Hairstyles were still quite close to the head with the deep set, finger waves. Some were parted in the center, others on the side. Around 1932 the styles began to soften a little bit more; as a play in the waves arrived and a little bit of volume appeared on the scene.
1950s Hairstyles
Housewives were wearing their hair shorter and shorter. When they wore their hairdos down, they were very similar to the famous actress June Allison and her lovely smooth page boy and short cropped bangs that framed her forehead.

Hi guys
I absolutely hear what you're saying. And I agree about Open Source too. Please see herefor today's announcement.
I think you guys are all amazing, by the way. And it's nothing personal - @TheBoy hit the nail on the head, it is about life and time issues. It doesn't help that MS is basically abandoning Media Centre too, but we'll leave that topic for now, possibly forever.

When my husband approached me about applying for a job that would require selling our home and moving out of the area, I immediately embraced the idea. It felt time to shake life up. We had been in the same town for a decade. I was unhappy with my job, and he was unhappy with his. He landed the position, we began searching for a new house, and surprisingly I became nostalgic for yesterday and uncertain of tomorrow.
Nine months later surrounded by boxes in our new home, I was a changed person. Always focused on the literal move, I never anticipated the rewarding mental journey I was taking. As we pack everything into boxes, we sorted through our lives and let go in order to move on.
Since then, I have moved on from so much: asparagus beds and strawberry patches we nurtured for years, sunsets that were a part of our evening ritual, spontaneous happy hours with friends, co-workers who were second sisters, and childhood memorabilia unloaded at the dump.
Letting go of things I took for granted as "mine" has made me acutely aware of the temporary nature of everything that comprises my day-to-day. The home, land, and views we moved from were never ours; we just borrowed them for a fraction in time. The house we moved into will be enjoyed until the next life stage pushes us onward; someday another family will be warmed by its charm. The plants we cultivate will follow a lifecycle independent of our own; the incidentals we collect will one day clutter homes of younger generations; and the routines we grow accustom to and the characters that play them out will eventually be replaced. I've become less attached yet more fulfilled by my surroundings than ever before.
I believe life's key to finding peace in every step is respecting the temporariness of all that makes up our time on earth, including that time itself. This insight provides for me a meaningful method of prioritizing people, experiences, and possessions I allow into my days and has taught me what living in the moment really means. While still adjusting to my new surroundings and at times missing the old, I'm lifted by a deeper knowledge of what enriches me.
In the end, it matters not that we have the right furniture, a big house, or a dream property. It matters instead that we are of strong mind and body with wisdom to count our blessings and courage to recognize when to move on regardless of inevitable uncertainties.
Just as rainbows fade, hummingbirds dive and dart away, or shooting stars vanish in an instant, the fleeting nature of everything that touches our lives is a positive influence worth paying attention to. The fact that everything comes to an end must be embraced not denied for it guides us, keeps us grounded, focuses our minds, and ultimately gives us grace and dignity to make life's final move.

It wasn't just a "medium-caliber" bullet that killed 18-year-old Keoin Gooding, Dauphin County Coroner Graham Hetrick said this afternoon.
"Our culture also killed this boy," a frustrated Hetrick said. That culture of guns coupled with a lack of responsibility or respect for human life is prompting far too many murders, he lamented.
Gooding's was Harrisburg's third slaying this year and the city's second in a month.
Police said he was with a group of friends outside his home in the 300 block of Cresson Street at 3 a.m. Thursday when shots were fired from across the street.
The fatal bullet struck Gooding in the back, Hetrick said, and he bled to death on a couch after friends carried him home.
Abdidahir H. Abdullahi, 21, of Harrisburg, has been charged in the slaying.
Hetrick said only a "debate we have to have within our culture" can change the lethal attitudes and end the pointless slaughter. Yet he said he sees no real progress being made.
Meanwhile, only the "heroic efforts" of emergency room doctors to save shooting victims are keeping the area's murder rate down, Hetrick said.

The proposed project and a reasonable range of alternatives will be compared against the purpose and need. Alternatives considered may have off-airport impacts that need to be reviewed under the appropriate special purpose laws, such as those regulating wetlands, endangered species, and social impacts. This EA reviews the No-Action and Preferred Alternatives in the context of these special purpose laws and other environmental elements.
Why keep the Airport open?
The airport provides an important economic and recreational resource for the community. With the closure of several other general aviation airports in Clark County, most recently Evergreen, additional demand is placed on existing resources. There have been several failed attempts to site a new airport in Clark County. The existing airport is in a good location, and has the appropriate zoning to continue in operation. In addition, Grove Field is the only Airport in the Metro area along the Columbia River corridor that is above the flood plain. The Airport would provide a vital emergency transportation link during a major flood that could close Troutdale, Portland International, Pearson and Scappoose Airports.
What is the economic impact of the Grove Field Airport?
WSDOT conducted a study to identify and examine aviation activities at the public use airports in Washington that created economic impacts. Click here to view the report
Why did the Port adopt the Airport Layout Plan?
In order for the Airport to receive funding from the Washington State Department of Transportation- Aviation Division (WSDOT-Aviation) or the FAA, it must have a current master plan, known as an Airport Layout Plan (ALP). The ALP includes information on existing and forecasted Airport use, design deficiencies, and recommendations for improvements to the airport.
How safe is Grove Field now? What difference will implementing the ALP make?
Grove Field has operated for many years without safety related issues; however, it does have several FAA design/safety related deficiencies that need to be corrected. These deficiencies are related to the performance factors of aircraft that currently use the airport (A-I small and B-I small). The deficiencies include runway length and width, separation between the runway and north parallel taxiway, and penetrations of the object free area by Delp Road and trees/vegetation. Implementation of the ALP will help correct these deficiencies.
Why does the runway need to be extended?
Because the runway is constrained by two roads, there is no runway safety area. As such, an operational system called "displaced thresholds" is in place. This means that parts of the runway are not usable for take-off or landing, and become de facto safety areas. This is not an optimum safety scenario, so extension of the runway, in order to provide the safety areas, is being explored. Similarly, separation between the runway and taxiway is less than desirable, so relocation of the runway (in order to avoid impacting the homes along the taxiway) is being examined. The No Action alternative will also be reviewed as part of the EA; however, allowing the existing deficiencies to continue might jeopardize the ability of the Airport to receive outside funding.
The FAA performance standards for B-I aircraft include runway design standards of approximately 3,000 feet as desirable. In addition, there needs to be 240 feet of flat, compact ground beyond each runway end, known as the Runway Safety Area (RSA). Extension of the runway to the west will allow 240 feet at the east end to become the Runway Safety Area, while providing an additional 350 feet of usable runway and 240 feet of RSA on the west end. This will also improve the overall safety for aircraft landing and taking off from the airport and keep the aircraft further away from the residences and roadways.
Is implementing the ALP going to bring more planes to Grove Field? Will it mean larger aircraft landing at Grove Field? Will it mean large planes based at Grove Field?
The airport is currently designed around aircraft classified as A-I small. These are aircraft with approach speeds less than 91 knots, wingspans up to 49 feet, and maximum certificated take off weights up to 12,500 pounds. Typical aircraft in the classification are the Beach Baron and Bonanza, Cessna 150 and 172 and Piper Archer and Seneca. The improvement will support aircraft of the same size, but with approach speeds up to 121 knots, known as B-I small aircraft, typical aircraft in this classification are the Beach King Air, Cessna 402 and 421 and Piper Navajo and Cheyenne, these aircraft also have wingspans up to 49 feet. The A-1 small and B-1 small classifications are the two smallest categories within the FAA system of 16 design categories.
Forecasts for airport growth include an increase in based aircraft from 83 (2005) to 128 (2025) and an increase in operations from 7,500 (20 daily take-offs or landings) to roughly 11,700 (30 daily take-offs or landings) over the same timeframe. The methodology used for forecasting the growth rate was the Clark County Population growth rate of approximately 2.1% annually. These increases would likely happen regardless of whether the improvements are constructed.
The planes currently based and forecasted to be based at Grove Field are classified as small aircraft; they have a gross weight of less than 12,500 pounds.
Will implementation of the ALP increase noise generated by aircraft at Grove Field?
Over time, regardless of whether improvements are built, more aircraft will be based and operations will occur at Grove Field. By extending the runway to the west, operations will shift slightly west, reducing noise at the east end of the runway slightly. Refer to the attached informational noise summary document that was prepared by the Airplane Operators and Pilots Association of America. here.
How much will the project cost? Who pays?
The Environmental Assessment currently underway is $409,137.00 of which the FAA has given a grant to the Port for 95% of the cost; WSDOT Aeronautics is contributing 2.5% and the Port 2.5%. The construction costs for the improvements to the Runway, Taxiway and Delp Road based on estimates in the ALP are approximately $9.4 million. The FAA will contribute approximately 95%, the State will contribute approximately 2.5%, and the Port is responsible for the remaining 2.5% ($236,242.00). A portion of the Port's match has already been expended with an FAA-eligible property purchase several years ago.
How will implementing the ALP benefit the community? Quality of Life?
The project will insure that the Port continues to support, maintain and operate a safe Airport for the community to use for recreation, business and emergency (life flight) purposes. Individuals relocating to new areas look at many factors: jobs, schools, recreation, health and safety just to name a few. The Camas-Washougal area has a wealth of these facilities including the airport to attract people to the community. (There are an estimated 4,000 pilots in Clark County using regional airports).
Will zoning change or be affected?
All airport property is currently zoned for airport use. No changes are anticipated or proposed. As areas near the airport are brought into the Camas Urban Growth Area, zoning changes may be made by the City or Clark County, but would not be associated with the airport.
Will property values be negatively affected with implementation of the ALP? Will my property value go down as a result of airport improvements?
The Port has checked property values/sales in the areas surrounding the Airport over the past few years and has seen no evidence of eroding property values related to airports.
What is meant by "condominiums" at the Airport?
Many types of property can be owned through a condominium arrangement, including aircraft hangars. No residential condominiums are proposed at the airport. Condominium hangars are being built by Immelman Hangars on Port-owned land adjacent to the Airport, wherein the underlying land is owned by the Port, but individual hangars are privately owned through a condominium (legal term) association. High density residential use is a non-compatible land use in Airport zoning.
What is an Environmental Assessment and why are we doing it?
An Environmental Assessment is a federally prescribed process for analyzing the potential impacts of an airport improvement project on the surrounding natural and built environment. The end result is a document and an environmental finding, issued by the FAA, disclosing the impacts and agreed-to mitigation measures for the proposed project. The document is being prepared as the next step toward implementing the proposed improvements at the airport.

TALLAHASSEE — Brian Allen kept waiting to hear something, anything from the University of Florida. But the recruiting valentine never came.
Allen was a star linebacker at Columbia High School in Lake City, just up the interstate from Gainesville. Allen eventually chose Florida State over Virginia Tech, the team most likely awaiting the winner of Saturday's game at The Swamp. The Gators were never a factor.
"I went through the recruiting wars as a high school player, and Florida being 30 minutes down the street and not being heavily recruited by the University of Florida," Allen said, shaking his head. "The intensity of this rivalry started for me before I even knew Florida State would be where I make my home. The magnitude of a dislike for a Gator, it increases to a level that's unexplainable."
Upon further inspection, it's somewhat understandable that Florida would have backed off in its recruitment of Allen. His cousin is Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Reinard Wilson, a Seminoles star earlier this decade. It seemed only logical at the time that Allen would follow in his path.
Plus, there was Allen's lack of size. At 5 feet 10 and 180 pounds, he was more runty than rangy. Gators linebacker Ben Hanks, a playmaker of similar stature, was Allen's role model.
"He was kind of undersized and all the critics had the knocks on him," Allen said, "and every Saturday he went out and made the plays."
Sounds like Allen, who has used a combination of hard work and physical maturation to make the Gators no doubt rue their uninterest. A junior, he has since grown to 6 feet and 225 pounds. He runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds. He bench presses more than 450 pounds. He can play inside or outside. And he produces.

An unknown flu-like respiratory illness has killed two people and sickened five others in southeastern Alabama. According to the Washington Post, seven patients have been admitted to hospitals in and around Dothan, Alabama with fever, cough and shortness of breath.
A press release from Dr. Mary McIntyre, the Director of the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) said that the department is working closely with the CDC to determine what has sickened the patients.
"Laboratory samples have been obtained from all patients," wrote McIntyre in the statement, "Laboratory testing continues at both ADPH Bureau of Clinical Laboratories and CDC's Respiratory Laboratory. ADPH and CDC have recommended the hospital use respiratory precautions, which include staff using N95 masks when caring for patients presenting with respiratory symptoms."
The statement urged anyone experiencing these symptoms in Dothan, Houston County or other surrounding areas to report to their health care provider for assessment.
According to Montgomery, Alabama's WSFA, the seven victims range in age from their early 20s to late 80s. The string of hospital admissions began last Thursday. One patient has tested positive for the H1N1 flu virus and another for Influenza A.
None of the patients appear to be connected to each other, nor have any of them recently traveled outside the country, said WSFA. Health officials are urging people not to panic, but to practice normal hand-washing and to cover all coughs and sneezes. Health care providers are being asked to report any unusual symptoms or complications in their patients immediately.
The Post reported that the CDC is referring all questions about the disease to Alabama health officials.

Avery Graphics Donates Vinyl for U.S. Marine's Custom Truck Wrap
Thursday, August 14, 2008
Press release from the issuing company(Painesville, Ohio) August 13, 2008 – Avery Dennison Graphics & Reflective Products Division in partnership with GatorWraps, Inc., and Mossy Oak will give Staff Sergeant Jacob Karl a homecoming he will never forget. SSgt. Karl was greeted with a custom vehicle wrap for his 1997 Ford F-250 truck after returning home from his third tour in Iraq.
Avery Graphics donated its popular MPI 1005 EZ RS film and DOL 1100 matte overlaminate for the truck wrap. The wrap will be custom designed with the new Mossy Oak Break-Up pattern, printed and then installed by GatorWraps at its new location in Ontario, California. MPI 1005 EZ RS is a high-quality cast vinyl film ideal for a wrap project like the one for SSgt. Karl's truck. The wrap can be adjusted or removed without damaging the truck's original paint.
According to Tammy Karl, SSgt. Karl's wife, her husband has a weak spot for the Mossy Oak Break-Up pattern. She contacted GatorWraps to see if it was possible to create the special wrap for her husband in time for his homecoming. Avery Graphics, GatorWraps and Mossy Oak didn't hesitate to grant Tammy's request and get the project started. "Being part of this project is very exciting. We are giving back to a soldier and his wife for the sacrifices they have made for our country. Ultimately what we are doing for SSgt. Karl is very little compared to what he has done for us," said Joel Ross, Marketing Communication Manager for Avery Dennison Graphics & Reflective Products Division.
SSgt. Karl has been a U.S. Marine for almost 13 years. He has served as a recruiter and is currently in Iraq with a unit that trains Iraqi police forces. In his own words, he is doing something very important, being a part of the solution, helping Iraqis be able to stand on their own feet and live happy and safe lives in their own country. SSgt. Karl's wife Tammy said, "I realize that he is not just our hero, fighting for our freedom and our way of life, but he is their hero too."
The Avery Graphics wrap featuring the Mossy Oak Break-Up pattern will include a custom design by GatorWraps with the U.S. Marine Corps emblem and silhouettes of U.S. Marines. A shadow of a bull rider will symbolize SSgt. Karl's love for the rodeo. The wrap will be completed free of charge, and the truck will be waiting for SSgt. Karl when he lands at Camp Pendleton sometime between August and September 2008.
