How to care for your refrigerator
1. Clean off the condenser coils twice per year
Long Handled Bristle Brush
Condenser coils are responsible for removing heat from refrigerators and freezers. They're the large, radiator-like coils located at the back or beneath the unit. When dust and dirt cling to the coils, it's harder for the refrigerator to remove heat. The result is increased energy consumption. Without regular cleaning, this can lead to problems and costly repairs. Use this long-handled bristle brush and a vacuum to easily and efficiently clean off the coils. Follow your refrigerator owner's manual for specific instructions related to it.
2. Clean and replace the gasket (rubber door seal) as needed
Refrigerator gasket
The gasket is the rubber seal that outlines your refrigerator and freezer doors. It's an often overlooked part that has the critical job of sealing out warm air. Clean it periodically with a universal cleaner such as Goo Gone Concentrated Spray. Over time, gaskets wear and no longer seal the way refrigerators and freezers need to operate efficiently. It's common for gaskets to weaken, loosen and tear within just a few years. When this happens, warm air enters the interior of the refrigerator or freezer, making it work harder to remove the heat. That means more energy consumed and higher bills for you. Fortunately, gaskets are inexpensive and usually very easy to replace.
3. Defrost
Manual-defrost refrigerator/freezers
When frost has accumulated on the inside walls of the freezer to a thickness of one half inch (or a little more than one centimeter) or so, remove the food from the refrigerator/freezer, turn off the thermostat or unplug the unit, and allow all of the frost to melt. Once the frost has melted completely, turn the unit back on, wait for it to reach its operating temperature, and restock it with food.
Self-defrosting refrigerator/freezers
If you have a self-defrosting refrigerator, you don't need to do anything. Every six to eight hours, your refrigerator heats up its cooling coils slightly to melt any frost accumulation on the coils. The resulting water drains into a shallow pan at the bottom of the refrigerator/freezer.
Though the water evaporates, you'll need to periodically clean the pan to avoid odors and bacteria growth. Use warm water and a small amount of detergent to clean it out. Your owner's manual will provide specific instructions related to this but on most models, you can access the pan by detaching the lower grill and sliding out the pan.
4. Clean the interior
Cleaning refrigerator
Weekly, use a cloth dampened by warm water to wipe down and remove crumbs and spills from shelves and walls. An all-purpose cleaner will make the job easier and take on stains and sticky spills without a lot of elbow grease. You can also use this cleaner on doors and handles.
Use airtight containers to seal in odors and keep food fresher longer. If an item is weakly packaged (i.e. fruit cartons) or simply likely to leak (i.e. defrosting meat), place it on a plate before storing.
For stainless-steel units: This cleaning solution and these wipes are specifically designed to remove dirt and fingerprint marks on stainless-steel refrigerators. While wiping, it's best to follow the "grain" or pattern of the stainless steel.
5. Deodorize
Deodorize refrigerator
Freshen and remove odors with a deodorizer that's specifically designed for refrigerators. According to the manufacturer, this deodorizer is up to 50 times more effective than baking soda for eliminating food odors. It lasts up to six months.
6. Replace the ice maker or water dispenser water filter
Refrigerator water filter
Replace the water filtration system filter at least every six months.
Can I put a refrigerator/freezer in my garage?
Yes. However, if you live in a region in which the temperatures drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), this is not a good idea. Such temperatures could cause the oil in the compressor to thicken, leading to premature compressor failure or other issues. Also, refrigerator/freezer units often won't keep food frozen when the temperature of the garage drops below 35 degrees Fahrenheit (1.6 Celsius).
How full can I pack my freezer?
Keep your freezer as full as you need it to be, as long as the air vents are not blocked. For the most efficient operation, it's best keep enough food to fill half of the freezer.
How cold should my refrigerator and freezer be?
Your refrigerator's thermostat should be set to 36 to 38 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately two degrees Celsius) and your freezer's thermostat from 0 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius).
If your model does not have a thermostat, use a thermometer to check the temperature. Adjust the control as needed.
I want my refrigerator door to open the opposite way. Is it possible?
Usually, yes. You can reverse the doors on most refrigerators. Consult the owner's manual for your refrigerator/freezer for the proper instructions. If you no longer have the manual, enter your model number in the search field at the top of this page to see if it's available for purchase on our site.
How do I dispose of my old refrigerator/freezer?
It is illegal to send a refrigerator to a landfill without first removing the refrigerant, due to environmental and safety issues. Only licensed professionals can do this procedure. Contact your local municipality for more information. Many offer services to pick up refrigerators and properly dispose of them – for a nominal fee. If your local municipality does not offer such a service, contact a reliable, local appliance repair company and inquire about such services. Be sure to ask for a valid license and a certificate of compliance.
Is it easy to add an ice maker to my refrigerator/freezer?
Yes, if your freezer has the necessary internal wiring (most do), this is a do-it-yourself project.
Enter your refrigerator's model number to find an icemaker kit for your model.
How much clearance do I need behind my refrigerator/freezer?
If your refrigerator has condenser coils (large black, grid or radiator-like coils) on the back, you should leave at least one inch (two and a half centimeters) of space between the coils and the wall to avoid "building-in" the appliance. If the coils are located beneath the refrigerator, you may push the unit all the way to the wall.
Can I change my manual defrost refrigerator to frost-free?
No, because there several component, internal wiring and design differences.
How do I pull the refrigerator away from the wall to clean the condenser coils?
Always have another person with you before attempting to move your refrigerator or any other large appliance. Unload food from the refrigerator. Most refrigerators manufactured in the last 20 years stand on built-in rollers. Before attempting to move the refrigerator, you may need to first retract the front leveling legs. Take care not to damage the floor. If you need to move the refrigerator than one foot or so, consider using plastic floor guards to prevent any damage to the floor.
Can I add shelves to my refrigerator or freezer?
Usually. If there is room in your unit for an additional shelf, and the necessary hardware in the walls and/or ceiling, you can add a shelf. Enter your refrigerator's model number here to find a shelf for your refrigerator.
Does the freezer get warmer during self-defrost?
Yes. The freezer temperature increases by about 20 degrees during the defrost cycle. This is normal and doesn't affect the quality of the food in your freezer.
What causes freezer burn? And is it safe?
Freezer burn is a common problem caused by food packaging. Food dehydrates due to exposure to the air in the freezer. Standard supermarket packaging for many foods is not designed to prevent dehydration. If you intend to store food in your freezer for more than a few days, you should place the food in airtight containers or zippered plastic bags specifically made for food preservation and freezer storage. It is absolutely safe to cook or eat freezer-burned food. However, most people find that the dehydration process destroys the food's taste and texture. Dehydrated meat is said to be tough and tasteless after cooking.
My refrigerator seems to run constantly. Is that normal?
No. There are several possible causes. Before troubleshooting in our refrigerator repair help information, make sure that the refrigerator's condenser coils are clean, that there's enough space between the condenser coils and the wall (one inch or about two and a half centimeters) for adequate air flow and that the gasket (door seal) is in good condition. Enter your refrigerator's model number in our repair help for more information about other possible causes and fixes.
How long can I expect my refrigerator to last before I need to replace it?
The average life of a refrigerator is 14 to 17 years. Some last many more years, others many fewer. Proper maintenance will positively impact the life of your refrigerator.

Vermont State Police Log: Brandon man hurt in Route 7 accident
ADDISON COUNTY — A Brandon man on Monday night was rushed to the hospital with head injuries he sustained when the car he was driving was struck by a tractor-trailer on Route 7 in Leicester.
Vermont State Police Trooper Joseph Szarejko reported that at a little before 10 p.m. that night Andrew Mitchell, 33, of Brandon was driving a passenger car eastbound on the Leicester-Whiting Road, and he attempted to travel across Route 7 to Fern Lake Road. A tractor-trailer driven by Canadian Pierre Boulais, 50, was northbound on Route 7, and it collided with Mitchell's vehicle, totaling it.
Mitchell was immediately transported to the Rutland Regional Medical Center to receive treatment for his head trauma, and was later transported to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Mitchell sustained multiple skull fractures and numerous cuts.
The tractor-trailer sustained minor front-end budgets.
Szarejko reported that both weather and road conditions were clear and dry.
In other recent activity, local VSP:
•On Jan. 11 at 10:52 p.m. stopped a car driven by Lucas J. Murray, 25, of Middlebury on South Street in Middlebury without its headlights on. The trooper cited Murray for driving under the influence.
•On Jan. 11 late in the evening responded to a one-car accident on Plank Road in Bristol. The trooper cited the driver, Shilo Taylor, 23, of Bristol, for negligent driving. She is due to answer the charge in Addison District Court on March 5.

Weekly Jobless Claims Fall; 4-Week Average At Pre-Recession Level
WASHINGTON -- The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits fell last week to a near five-year low, a sign of economic health that could help convince the Federal Reserve to wind down a bond-buying stimulus program.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits slipped 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 323,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Claims for the prior week were revised to show 1,000 more applications received than previously reported.
Claims are now near their levels in January 2008, the early days of the 2007-09 recession. The lowest level this year was 322,000 earlier this month.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected first-time applications to fall to 330,000 last week.
A department analyst said data for three states was estimated because the states did not provide data in time for the report.
The four-week moving average for new claims fell to its lowest level since October 2007, before the recession began. This measure, which is closely followed because it irons out week-to-week volatility, dipped 3,000 to 328,500.
The report has no direct bearing on Friday's monthly employment report, which is expected to show employers outside the farming sector added 180,000 jobs to their payrolls in August.
More:Can An Employer Force You To Quit?But the claims data could reinforce confidence that the labor market is posting a slow yet steady comeback.
Hiring moderated a bit in July and a pickup this month could cement expectations the Federal Reserve will announce a scaling back of its monthly $85 billion bond-buying program at its Sept. 17-18 policy meeting. It has been making the monthly purchases to hold down interest rates.
The U.S. central bank has said it plans to start tapering the purchases later this year, but would be guided by economic data.
The claims report showed the number of people still receiving benefits under regular state programs after an initial week of aid fell 43,000 to 2.951 million in the week ended Aug. 24.

Don't let my middle-class upbringing and not-quite-homeless appearance fool you; I am a straight-up hustler. I flip TV's, speakers, cell phones, laptops, MP3 players, guitars — practically anything with a power cord, really — just to make a few untaxable bucks outside of work and pay for all the overpriced cocktails and concert tickets I want. I've been doing it for years now, and not to brag, but I'm pretty damn good at it. I'm here today to share some of my wisdom with you, and give you some pointers on how and why you should sell your used electronics, like, tomorrow.
We'll start with why you should sell your stuff.
1. You have too much of it
I've been to enough yard sales and helped enough people switch apartments that I know this for a fact. Most of us living in this consumption-crazed digital age have more electronic crap than we know what to do with. Go ahead and laugh at those people on Hoarders, but we all do it. I'm willing to bet your garage has at least one old computer monitor in it. I can't tell you how many people I know that still have the AV receiver they stopped using 15 years ago, just because they're too lazy to get rid of it, and in the back of their mind they think "I might need this in the future." No, you won't. That new one you bought will do just fine, and the old one is just taking up space.
2. Your stuff is only losing value
Unless you hold onto it until it's old enough to become a collectors item, all of your old electronic crap will only depreciate over time. The rapid progression of technology is a double edged sword — there's always something new and exciting, but every new generation of hardware typically makes your stuff worth less than it was yesterday. If you resell stuff sooner, you recoup more of the original cost and can put that money toward newer, nicer stuff.
3. You've probably been meaning to sell your old junk anyway
So just do it already and stop wasting time.
Where to sell your stuff
Don't toil with any of those skeezy used electronics buyback services like Gazelle or Glyde. These are the pawn shops of the Internet: they might be quick and easy, but they rip you off like the tag on a king-size mattress. Use Craigslist and eBay to get the most back for your stuff. Selling things in these marketplaces definitely takes a bit more time and effort, but you're rewarded for that work with higher returns. If you have a lot of crap to sell, and care more about getting rid of it than you do about making a profit, then I highly recommend using an app called Gone.
When deciding which site/service to use, be conscious of your target market. Craigslist is local and eBay is global. Something that might not sell on CL could get you huge returns on eBay, and certain things that would take weeks to sell on eBay might sell in a couple hours on Craigslist. It's hard to explain, but an example I like to use is the Hello Kitty toaster I once got at a yard sale. I didn't get a single response when I posted it on Craigslist, but it only took four hours before a bidding war for it erupted on eBay. Specific, niche items tend to do better on eBay because you have access to a wider market, whereas common items like iPods do better on Craigslist simply because they tend to get buried on eBay. It's impossible to make a simple, overarching rule for when to sell something on one site versus the other, but just trust your judgement and you'll be fine.
When in doubt, just post on both
To be honest, I only use eBay for about 10 percent of the stuff I sell — the rest is all on Craigslist. Since it's a localized market, I don't have to mess around with shipping, and almost all transactions are in cash, which just makes life easier.

This article consists of few of the basic things which you need to take into consideration while preparing for your ISC Computer Science Practicals.
To begin with I would like to inform you all that you don't need to practice Inheritance or Recursion programs as you won't get programs in your practical examination related to these concepts.
You may use the concept of recursion in solving practical programs, but it will be upto you to do so. There won't be specifically mentioned that you have to do so.
The paper will consist of 3 questions out of which you have to do any one. You will be allotted 3 hours in all which will be divided into:
- Planning session (where you write the programs in the answer sheet) – Maximum 90 minutes
- Writing session (where you write and run the program on the computer) – Maximum 90 minutes
1) How to prepare:
Just after you finish reading this advice, switch on your computer and start typing in the programs you know. Try and run every program you know and see what are the common errors which you encounter. Try and be perfect with regards to those errors.
The more you practice programs on the computer, the better you will do in your practical examination. So don't be lazy. There is no other alternative.
2) Types of programs to practice:
(Given in order of the importance to be given while practicing, Examples are just to make you understand the type of question)
- 2-D array programs
- Magic Matrix
- Spiral (Circular) Matrix
- Matrix Multiplication
- Mirror Image
- Finding maximum and minimum element
- Sorting
- Searching
- Filling a 2-D array with any give type of numbers. (Example: Fill a n*n matrix with n*n Fibonacci numbers)
- Operations on Diagonals of a 2-D array
- Operations on Border elements of a 2-D array
- Operations on every row or column (Example: Swapping rows or columns or finding maximum and minimum of every row)
- String programs which involve the use of String Tokenizer or split() concepts
Examples: Input a sentence and
- convert each of its word into piglatin
- find the reverse of every word
- replace any given word with another
- frequency of every word
- find words which are palindrome
- find words which begin and end with vowels
- encode or decode words in circular fashion
- sorting the words alphabetically
How to solve?
Create a function which does the required operation with one word, then in the main() method, break the sentence into words, and send them to this function one by one to get your final result.
See: http://www.guideforschool.com/358-isc-2013-question-3-practical-paper-solved/
and http://www.guideforschool.com/1266790-program-to-replace-words-of-a-sentence-in-special-fashion/
- Range questions
(Example: Print all the Disarium numbers within 'p' and 'q' along with their frequency)
Similarly, any named number could be given and you will be told to print those numbers and their frequency within a given range.
Note: Don't forget to check for valid range which are always given in the question like p<q etc.
How to solve?
Create a function which checks whether a number is the desired number or not by returning a true or a false. Then in the main() method, write a loop which starts from the lower range and goes on till the upper range. Then one by one send the numbers to the function you created. If you get a true from there, then increase the frequency and print the number.
See: http://www.guideforschool.com/203266-java-program-to-check-for-unique-number/
and http://www.guideforschool.com/212-isc-2012-computer-science-practical-program-1-solved/
- General programs:
- Denominations
- ISBN number
- Keith number
- Smith number
- Some operations related to time, like printing them in words.
See: http://www.guideforschool.com/553891-program-to-print-a-given-time-in-words-isc-practical-2003/
- print the possible consecutive number combinations
- Number system conversion
- Date related programs
- Validate a given date
- print the date in dd/mm/yyyy format
- difference of dates
Note: In every date related programs, do check whether the inputted date are valid or not.
See: http://www.guideforschool.com/category/date-related-programs/
3) What to write apart from programs?
You have to write the program in your answer sheet in the planning session (maximum 90 minutes) along with:
- Algorithm of the program you wrote
- Data Description table
- Comments on the program
Don't forget to number the question you are attempting.
4) Can I change what I wrote on my answer sheet?
No, you cannot change what you wrote after you have finished your planning session i.e. written your program and you are ready to write and run it on the computer.
While running the program if you find some mistakes in what you wrote or the program you wrote is not running as desired, then don't panic.
Just correct the code on the computer and try and work on it to make it give the desired output. What matters the most is whether your program is giving the correct output on the computer or not as that output will be checked by the external teacher.
5) What about viva questions?
This is what terrifies most of the student. But the fact is that it is not as terrifying as it seems to be.
The external teacher will ask you questions related to the program you write and the concepts you used in it. Like if you used a while loop, they may ask you difference between for and while loop etc. Few of the most common questions are:
- What is import java.io.*?
(Answer: The line is importing all the classes of java.io package into the current class)
- What is BufferedReader?
(Answer: BufferedReader is a class and the line which we write having BufferedReader activates the temporary Buffer memory)
- What is StringTokenizer or Scanner and examples of similar classes (if you used it)
(Answer: StringTokenizer or Scanner is a class which splits up any given string into tokens separated by delimiters)
I will try and compile few of the viva questions along with their answers if time permits.
Update: Here are some of the commonly asked viva questions: ISC Computer Science Practical Viva Questions.
So, this is it for now student. Hope this helps. Relax and prepare.

The New Bern Board of Aldermen went on a small selling spree Tuesday, approving offers from people wishing to buy property jointly owned by the city and Craven County.
The New Bern Board of Aldermen went on a small selling spree Tuesday, approving offers from people wishing to buy property jointly owned by the city and Craven County.
The board approved an offer by DeBrou Cantlow of $2,000 for the property at 607 Ruth Ave.; an offer from Leroy and Kathryn Simmons of $1,500 for the property at 609 Ruth Ave.; and an offer from Lorenza Grist of $2,000 for the property at 611 Ruth Ave.
In another matter, aldermen approved a change to the city�s 2014 holiday calendar Tuesday. The amended calendar will give city employees three days off for Christmas, the same as state and the county employees get, if the holiday falls on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
The 2013 holiday schedule for Christmas will go before the board in November.
New Bern employees used to get three days off for the holidays, but in 2011, the Board of Aldermen voted to give employees two days off and four hours annual leave.
Aldermen also approved a policy for displaying decorative lamppost banners in the city. It currently allows banners on city lampposts only for city-sponsored events.
The policy says banners can be displayed: if they are affiliated with a nonprofit organization that is supported financially by the city through special appropriations, which change from year to year during the budget process; if they represent an event that is considered to be city sponsored; if a neighborhood wishes to promote their neighborhood name that has eligible decorative lamps; and for the annual Pepsi shareholders� conference.
Alderman Sabrina Bengel abstained from voting. Although Bengel is not a Pepsi shareholder, she said some people might think so because she owns the Birthplace of Pepsi store downtown.

Increased structure and active learning: can we bridge the achievement gap in South African science?
John Measey
Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, University of the Western Cape, Cape Town, South Africa
Haak and colleagues1 detail a huge paradigm shift in the way that science can be taught in order to bridge the achievement gap in the teaching of science to USA undergraduates by discarding the traditional professorial lecturing approach that so many of us grew up with, and replacing it with active learning. Their result: an overall increase in the achievement of all students, and especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Not only did they achieve what many of us have struggled to implement over the years, but they did it in a way that is more cost-effective than the traditional supplementary instruction and mentoring models.
While the size of the skew and the depth of the achievement gap may give us pause for thought, too often we think that the problems faced by teaching science to South African undergraduates are unique and that we require different solutions from those derived in developed countries. Recorded failure rates in introductory courses in US sciences range from 25% to 85%.2 Since the 1970s, the USA has had active policies to increase the number of under-represented minority students completing tertiary education. The standard responses have been to retain these students in the traditional teaching mainstream, but to supplement their learning with high-cost instruction and mentoring. Although this has had some positive effects, there has been a low return per dollar invested.
So how did Haak et al. do it? Scott Freeman persuaded his colleagues at the Department of Biology, University of Washington, to completely rewrite their introductory courses. Over a period of 7 years, they phased out their traditional stand-up routines and replaced them with active learning based on the following:
Socratic lecturing - lecturers pose frequent questions to the class and supplement the raised hands of frequent responders with random calls to students whose names are obtained from a class list.
Ungraded active-learning exercises - lecturers give quick written tests followed by discussion and demonstration with student participation in informal groups.
Clicker questions - students select buttons on an electronic response device according to their responses to questions posed in a class for graded responses. Software displays the results instantly on-screen and correct and incorrect responses are discussed.
Practice exams - lecturers conduct timed exam-style questions for graded responses via the departmental intranet.
Class notes summaries - students state the three most important concepts in that week's teaching, so that they actively use their course material for graded responses.
Reading quizzes - students are given graded multiple-choice questions the night before class via the intranet.
In-class group exercises - groups of three or four students answer exam-style questions on current class topics. Teaching assistants and course teachers move through the class to monitor conversations and provide guidance.
So would it take a lot of effort to change foundation year courses to this active learning style? Freeman himself says that running the class is a lot more fun:
It's just a different way to setting up the course where you do all your work up front... I like to say that my job isn't to tell my students things, my job is to ask my students good questions.2
Active learning really means a new and active teaching style, and there is no reason to limit these styles to those outlined above. The pay-off is not just to boost learning for everyone with this intensive format, it is that disadvantaged students do disproportionately better.

WATCH: Mansally's first gives Revs the lead
WATCH: Mansally's second finishes off D.C.
It was specifically a three-minute span that got Mansally the plaudits from soccer reporters. His goals in the 80th and 82nd minutes earned the Revolution a 2-0 road victory.
He hammered home a deflected cross into the box to open the scoring. The second goal was the stunner as he curled a left-footed shot into the far corner to put the game away.
"I was sitting on the bench and I was saying nobody is testing the goalkeeper, we can get more shots on goal," Mansally told the Boston Globe. "So when I came in I tried from far away and the next one I got a goal. In practice I've been scoring like two or three, or four goals. I wanted to get a hat trick but I couldn't. So, maybe next time, next home game."
The 21-year-old Gambian international, who came on as a forward substitute in the club's first two matches, is in his third full season with the Revs. He had just four career league goals entering the 2010 season before his brace on Saturday.
"He's got quality but it's all about consistency," Steve Nicol told the Boston Globe. "Put it this way, if he does that every week he'll be playing every week. I think we may think about starting him — that may cross our mind."

This list includes questions commonly received by the EngineerGirl team about resources that can help you study engineering in college, plan and build your engineering career, and complete engineering projects.
Jump to a specific question:
Visit our Engineering FAQ for answers to commonly asked questions about engineering in general.
There is no substitute for scouring the web for such resources, but you should also check with the financial aid office at your local college or university. You may also find some useful links on our scholarships page. Good luck with your search.
Sorry, but typing out answers to a list of questions can be very time consuming. If you have a specific question for someone in our gallery of engineers you may ask her, but there may be times when she is unable to answer you. Also, the purpose of a class project is generally for you to speak with an engineer. There are engineers in the directory who have indicated that they would be willing to conduct a student interview. If you find one that you would like to know more about, please send her a request for an interview, but aviod just sending a long list of questions especially if you only have a couple of days to complete your assignment.
Asside from the links in our Clubs & Programs section, you may find several links to programs in our section on Competitions & Contests or in the Cool Links area. You can also look at the EESC Pre-Engineering Summer Camps Page. This page from the Engineering Education Service Center will let you search by state to find a pre-engineering camp in your area.
This is an important question and you will need to explore your options carefully as you consider your future path. When thinking about where you might want to go to college there are a large number of factors to consider. Once you have an idea of what some of your guidelines are you can go to the Institute of Education Sciences' College Navigator. There you can search for schools within the USA by location, program or both. You might also look at the TryEngineering's university locator, where you can find schools in a number of countries and search by programs or other criteria. Keep in mind that this very important decision is ultimately up to you. Friends, family and others can offer support and advice, but you are the one who will have to finish your education. Think about these reasons not to choose a college, and then do your research to find the school that will be best for you.
If you are at a university your best resource is your Career Placement Office. Even if you are not currently attending school, there are often job fairs that are open to the public. The internet is also a great place to begin a job search and discover opportunities. You can try typing engineering jobs into a search engine to see what comes up, but don't forget to take a look at the SWE Career Center and post your resume.
A good mentor can make a big difference in your career, and we encourage you to seek one out. Your best mentors are generally people that you are able to see on a regular basis. Consider what you would like to gain from a mentoring relationship, and make a list of potential resources. If you do not know anyone that you think would be a good candidate you might consider going on a number of informational interviews with people who are working in a field that interests you. You might also consider an email mentor from a site like Mentornet. When it comes time to ask someone to be your mentor it is best to establish at least a basic relationship first. You should also explain why you chose him or her and what you hope s/he will do for you. Realize that mentoring can be a big responsibility and not everyone will be willing to do it. Be respectful, and dont get discouraged if you are turned down. Generally, finding a mentor and establishing a good rapport will take a fair amount of work from you, but the potential rewards from such a relationship are well worth the effort. Check out this blog article about mentoring for more information.
If you are an engineer and would like to be included in our Directory of Women Engineers we would welcome your participation. You can begin by creating your profile on the login page. If you would like to join our email list for announcements about website-related activities and new website features you may do that also. For information about other ways you might be involved in spreading the word about engineering please see our Get Involved pages.
If you are writing a paper or working on a project about women in the field of engineering, the National Science Foundation has a webpage devoted to statistics and articles about the nations science and engineering resources. You can look up information about women in both the workforce and the education. If you are having trouble finding what you need, try searching for "Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering". You can also find links to statistics on the webpage for the Committee on Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine.
Although we want to help, we are unable to give engineering advice through the website. If you require an engineering consultation, please seek the services of a professional engineer.

An integration of these three methods into one sequence is proposed (Chaitow) in which palpation leads to trigger point identification followed by use of one of several patterns of application of inhibitory pressure, followed immediately by Strain/counterstrain application to identify that points' precise 'position of ease'. After appropriate holding of this position to induce muscle spindle resetting of the tissues surrounding the trigger point a standard muscle energy method is employed to stretch the muscle to its normal resting length (Travell) either via post isometric relaxation or, if fibrosis is a feature, via an isolytic procedure (Mitchell).
Clinical results employing this combined approach of inhibition/positional release/Muscle energy (tentatively titled Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique - INIT) indicate it to be superior to use of single elements of the approach.
Key Words:
Myofascial trigger points, hyperventilation, Musculoskeletal dysfunction, Pain, Soft tissue manipulation, Inhibitory pressure, Muscle Energy Techniques, Strain/counterstrain, Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibitory Techniques.
Travell and Simons have demonstrated the clear connection between myofascial trigger point activity and a wide range of pain problems and sympathetic nervous system aberrations.
Melzack and Wall confirm that there are few chronic pain problems which do not have myofascial trigger point activity as a component, with these acting, in many instances, as prime maintaining factors of the pain.
Trigger (and other non-referring pain) points commonly lie in muscles which have been stressed in a variety of ways including postural imbalances congenital factors (warping of fascia via cranial distortions, short leg problems, small hemi-pelvis etc), occupational or leisure overuse patterns, emotional states reflecting into the soft tissues , referred/ reflex involvement of the viscera producing facilitated segments paraspinally and trauma.
The repercussions of trigger point activity go beyond simple musculoskeletal pain - take for example their involvement in hyperventilation, chronic fatigue and apparent pelvic inflammatory disease.
Trigger point activity is particularly prevalent in the muscles of the neck/shoulder region which also act as accessory breathing muscles. In situations of increased anxiety the incidence of borderline or frank hyperventilation is frequent, and may be associated with chronic fatigue problems. Clinically these muscles palpate as tense, often fibrotic, with active trigger points being common . Successful breathing retraining, and normalisation of energy levels, seems in such cases to be accelerated and enhanced following initial normalisation of the functional integrity of the involved muscles.
Slocumb has shown in a large proportion of chronic pelvic pain problems in women, often destined for surgical intervention, that the prime cause involves trigger point activity in muscles of the lower abdomen, perineum, inner thigh and even the vagina.

For practical purposes, conduit is open to the environment unless you use special families of fittings.
While the original purpose of a metallic raceway was the protection of wires from mechanical damage, the metallic raceways of today serve a second purpose. Today, we expect them to carry fault currents — which are potentially lethal. That means we must pay special attention to component selection, preparation, and assembly. Whether you are installing electrical mechanical tubing (EMT), intermediate metal conduit (IMC) or galvanized rigid metal conduit (GRC), Sec. 110-3 of the NEC requires you to list and label your components.
Fittings come in several materials, including cast aluminum, cast malleable iron, cast zinc, and fabricated steel. Because all listed fittings meet minimum performance criteria, the Code doesn't specify what type of material you should use for those fittings. Therefore, you must base your decision on design considerations or personal preference.
Material composition is important, for example, when burying the conduit. In certain soils, you should use cast malleable iron. In others, cast aluminum works best. If you're going to bury conduit, find out what is customary for the locale. Your local distributor will know which material most installers use and may stock only fittings of that material. If you have any doubts, contact one of the manufacturers with the particulars of your application and get an engineering recommendation. Other factors to consider include local cathodic protection (which may either prohibit or require the use of aluminum in that facility's soil), the appearance of the conduit, the availability of all fittings in the same material, and customer specifications.
You have the option of ordering your fittings with insulated throat liners. Some fitting designs rely on throat liners as the primary means of protecting the conductors, so don't remove an existing throat liner from a fitting.
For practical purposes, conduit is open to the environment unless you use special families of fittings. For wet locations, use fittings listed for that use. Fittings listed as raintight may require a separate sealing ring and special assembly. However, raintight does not mean waterproof. For prolonged submersion in water, use NEMA 6 or 6P fittings. You should also use these in wet industrial environments, which include places heavy with coolants or machine oils — especially if those substances are present as aerosols or sprays.
What about concrete-tight fittings? UL does list some fittings specifically for this application. Neither threaded fittings nor gland fittings require a specific listing or marking for this purpose. If you adequately tape (per the manufacturer's recommendations) threadless GRC/IMC fittings, they pass the requirement for being concrete-tight. Don't assume a concrete-tight fitting is watertight or raintight — those require specific listings. However, fittings listed as raintight automatically qualify as concrete-tight.
Although many of us associate unthreaded metallic raceway with EMT, we also work with unthreaded conduit. Thus, unthreaded fittings are available for conduit. The unthreaded fittings fall into two general categories: gland (compression) type and set screw type. Gland type is the only type of unthreaded fittings listed for use in wet locations. Use only one type of fitting for a job. Otherwise, electricians will have to play mix-and-match games that slow down the work and increase the cost of labor. Let's look at the kinds of fittings available for both threaded and unthreaded conduit systems.
Bushings. These provide you with a smooth, rounded conduit entry to protect the conductors during wire pulls. Bushings are extremely important when you are transitioning from the conduit system into an enclosure — especially a bus box.
Combination couplings. Also known as transition couplings, they make the transition from a conduit (GRC/IMC) type of raceway to another type, such as EMT or flexible metallic conduit (FMC). Reducers are also included in this family.
Conduit bodies. Many electricians like to think of these as tiny pullboxes. When you need to make a splice somewhere between the two ends of a run, you can solve the problem by installing a conduit body. The Code permits you to use only conduit bodies listed for such a purpose and marked with an internal volume. Conduit bodies are also useful for changing direction in the raceway configuration and allowing access to the conductors in a completed system.
Couplings. These allow you to join conduit "sticks" together for a long straight run and join site-fabricated bends to conduit. However, consider using a conduit body where conduit passes through a wall or makes some other transition. If you aren't near a bend, use a conduit body instead of a coupling at the first conduit joint on the way into an enclosure and the first joint on the way out. This allows retraction of the conductors if someone needs to remove the enclosure. If a bend is nearby, use a pull elbow instead of a conduit body.
Drains. If your installation is in an area of widely varying temperatures — or if conduit runs from a warm area to a cool one — you can expect condensation. Install a drain at the lowest point of the run and at any point where water might accumulate. If the conduit runs underground (or to any place where a drain isn't feasible), create a low point ahead of the entry and place a drain there.
Elbows. These allow you to change the direction of the raceway by 90°. Elbows save significant labor costs and improve the appearance of the installation when used properly. This is especially true when you have several bends to make or are working in the larger trade sizes (in which case fabrication will be much more difficult).
Pull elbows. A pull elbow is a combination conduit elbow and conduit body. It allows you access to the conductors at a point where you are changing directions.
Expansion fittings. If you're going to run conduit between two areas where the temperature varies significantly, use expansion fittings. These will reduce stress on the raceway and its supports.
Grounding fittings. In some facilities, grounding considerations are so crucial that these special fittings are necessary. Their purpose is to allow you to "jumper" around grounding path discontinuities (or, potential discontinuities) in the conduit system. They provide a continuous path to ground, even if you break the conduit. In any conduit system, it's a good idea to install these wherever a crew may need to break a conduit run for maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, or any other foreseeable reasons.
Hubs. One of these will give you a threaded entry when a box (or enclosure) doesn't have one. Some hubs also provide trade size reduction. Use a hub when you run conduit to a box or enclosure that doesn't have an integral hub of its own. Never run conduit straight through a hole in a box.
Locknuts. Any time a fitting enters a box, secure it with a locknut. If you use a nut that has teeth facing only one side, be sure to install it with the teeth biting into the box.
Nipples. Like prefabricated bends, these save time and money in the field. This is especially true on short runs, where threading two ends of a conduit in the field can be challenging.
Reducers. This is a special kind of combination coupling that allows you to transition from one trade size of raceway to another. It is usually better to use a pullbox than a reducer — entering with one raceway size and exiting with another. Space will usually determine which you use.
Service entrance heads and fittings. You need to use these special fittings when transitioning overhead and underground services.
The National Electrical Manufacturer's Association (NEMA) stresses the importance of selecting the right fitting for the job. Combining your knowledge of how to do that with Sec. 110-12's required workmanship will ensure a safe, effective, and permanent installation.

In a rare move, a group of Chinese journalists are openly confronting a top censor after a southern newspaper known for its edgy reporting was forced to change a New Year's editorial calling for political reform into a tribute praising the Chinese Communist Party.
Sixty journalists from the Southern Weekly in Guangdong Province issued a complaint on Thursday over the last-minute changes that they said were made without the consent of the editorial department.
Another group of 35 former reporters from the newspaper went a step further on Friday, calling for the resignation of the provincial party propaganda chief Tuo Zhen (庹震) — whom they held personally responsible for the changes — while arguing that strong and credible news media are crucial for the country and even necessary for the ruling party.
"If the media should lose credibility and influence, then how can the ruling party make its voice heard or convince its people?" their letter said.
The party-run Global Times newspaper hit back with a defense of the government line, publishing an editorial saying the media cannot exist "romantically" outside the country's political reality. The spat has become one of the hottest topics on China's popular microblog site Sina Weibo.
Also apparently coming under pressure from Chinese censors was the Beijing-based pro-reform journal Yanhuang Chunqiu, whose Web site was no longer accessible in China on Friday. The journal regularly challenges censorship and recently published a New Year's message advocating political reform.
Yang Jisheng (楊繼繩), the journal's deputy director, said a Ministry of Industry and Information Technology department instructed the journal to shut down the Web site on Monday without providing a reason. By Friday, journal staff found the site blocked in China.
China's media in recent years have become increasingly freewheeling in some kinds of coverage, including lurid reports on celebrities and sports figures. Still, censorship of political issues remains tight — although government officials typically claim there is no censorship at all — and the restrictions have drawn increasingly vocal criticism from journalists and members of the public.
Touching off the latest tussle was a New Year's message to be published in the Southern Weekly on Thursday. The newspaper's annual feature has become a popular and influential tradition because of its boldness.
For this year, the theme was to be constitutional rule. The original version called for democracy, freedom and adherence to the constitution — a reference to promises made in the 1982-era constitution to allow such reforms as independent courts and the rule of law. The country's leaders have been reluctant to fulfill those pledges for fear of eroding their monopoly on power.
"The Chinese dream is the dream of constitutional rule," the original version read, according to copies of the text widely disseminated online and confirmed in a telephone interview with its author, one of the newspaper's editors, Dai Zhiyong (戴志勇).
That later was watered down as part of the newspaper's usual vetting process with upper-level management — a process that is part self-censorship, part consultation with Chinese Communist Party censors. It was watered down further, Southern Weekly journalists say, without the knowledge of front-line reporters and editors on the evening before it hit the newsstand.

O'Reilly admitted "misquoting" Houston Chronicle , continued to attack it anyway
FOX News host Bill O'Reilly admitted misquoting and mischaracterizing a Houston Chronicle editorial when he claimed the piece criticized a new sex offender law in Florida as "too harsh." O'Reilly apologized for misattributing a quotation to the editorial and also admitted that the Chronicle "didn't actually say" that the mandatory sentence stipulated by the new law was "too harsh." But he went on to argue that he was still justified in attacking the Chronicle based on "everything that I extrapolated from the editorial."
On the May 10 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly lambasted a May 10 Houston Chronicle editorial for criticizing a new Florida law. The so-called "Jessica's Law" strengthened sentencing guidelines for convicted sex offenders and required them to wear satellite tracking devices following their release from prison. O'Reilly claimed that the Chronicle described the law as "too harsh" and that it advocated counseling for convicted offenders rather than incarceration.
In a May 12 editorial, the Chronicle refuted O'Reilly's charges, asserting that it had never commented on the "harshness of the punishment" imposed on sex offenders, but rather the effectiveness of the safeguards put in place once the convicts are released on parole:
The [May 10] editorial, citing extensive research on this subject, said hooking GPS monitors to sexual predators released from prison might prove less effective than closer supervision by parole officers and other low-tech strategies. The Chronicle did not call for lighter punishment; it called for the adoption of the most effective measures to protect our children.
The Chronicle further criticized O'Reilly for misquoting the May 10 editorial in the segment.
On the May 12 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly admitted misattributing a quotation to the Chronicle during his original report. "My mistake. No excuses," he said. He also admitted that the Chronicle's editorial "didn't say the Florida law [...] was too harsh." Nonetheless, O'Reilly stood by his original criticism, noting: "But from everything that I extrapolated from the editorial, why would they bother to write the editorial if they didn't think it was too tough?" In fact, the editorial focused on the law's effectiveness, not its harshness.
From the May 10 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: Now most of us applaud that law, but not the Houston Chronicle. Oh, no. In an editorial today, it says the law is too harsh. "Although some compulsive offenders can only be contained rather than cured, counseling reduces recidivism. Community watch programs ... are a powerful disincentive for predators, researchers say. Finally, educating children about healthy and unhealthy touch ... remains the best defense against sexual abuse."
No, it doesn't. Taking convicted predators off the streets is the best defense, not counseling, not community watch programs. This is insane. That newspaper's incredible stance is what has failed in this country for years.
From the May 12 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: On Tuesday, I criticized the newspaper for publishing an editorial that said "Florida's sex offender law ... [is] not the best way to stop sexual predators from preying on children."
Now, I disagree with that. I think the law named after the murdered child Jessica Lunsford is a good one. A sentence of 25 years to life is the best way, in my opinion, to stop predators.
Well, today the Houston Chronicle replied in an editorial called "The No-Facts Zone," which blistered me for allegedly misleading you. The paper said, "O'Reilly told his viewers that the Chronicle editorial said the Florida law was too harsh. He was mistaken. The editorial excerpts that O'Reilly projected on the screen said nothing about the harshness of the punishment."
Well, that's true. I form my opinion by reading the entire editorial, which ended this way. "Although some compulsive offenders can only be contained rather than cured, counseling reduces recidivism."
Well, call me crazy, but I believe those words indicate a stance that calls for less punishment and more rehab of child molesters. Maybe I'm wrong.
I was wrong about one thing in my initial report. I misquoted the editorial in assessing what regular folks can do to protect kids. My mistake, no excuses.
O'REILLY: You know, one of the interesting things that they attacked me on today was that they didn't say the Florida law, 25 to life, first offender, molesting a kid under the age of 12, was too harsh. And they didn't. They didn't actually say that.
But from everything that I extrapolated from the editorial, why would they bother to write the editorial if they didn't think it was too tough? So I'm saying to myself, OK, you didn't say it, but they won't answer my question.

Paul knew sailing would be rough and so he told his captors--Roman soldiers transferring him as a prisoner to Rome for trial--that it would be a costly trip because of a storm. But the pilot said differently and the centurion was convinced that the pilot was right. The harbor wasn't a good place to be in the winter and so the crew felt pressure to get out on the water and arrive in a different port--maybe Phoenix?--to weather the winter. So, they disembarked and began their journey when a decent wind blew from the south and they became confident that they could make it to the next stop. Yet, they stayed close to the shore.
Soon after, the wind picked up and changed direction. The crew fought with the wind but were unable to gain control and were forced to go where the wind willed.The storm beat upon the poor boat for days and drove it a great distance. They began throwing cargo overboard like Paul had predicted but it wasn't enough. Each hour their hope for escape weakened until eventually the crew had given up any hope for safety. At this time, Paul came to the crew and said, "I told you that we shouldn't have sailed but it's okay. Don't worry--we'll lose the boat but nobody will lose their life because of this storm." The crew was convinced that they were facing the end and so they laughed at him and asked why he was so confidence since he was in the same place as them. Paul replied, "Last night an angel of God--whom I belong to and whom I worship--appeared and said, 'Don't be afraid, Paul, you'll make it safe to Rome where you will be tried. God is protecting the people on the ship.' So, don't worry friends--I have faith that God will do this thing that God has promised. We'll end up shipwrecked but we'll be alive."
After two weeks of persisting in the storm, Paul noticed that some members of the crew were anxious about how close they were getting to the land. They began testing the depth of the water compulsively and eventually determined that it wasn't safe to continue in their boat. They tried to deceive the rest of the crew and the prisoners by releasing anchors and saying they would wait for morning to determine what to do. Under the cover of night and storm, they also released a raft and were preparing to get into it when the centurion stopped them because Paul had said any who did not stay with the boat would die. They cut the raft loose and remained on the boat. Before morning broke, Paul was found eating while the crew continued to be anxious about what they would do. Paul encouraged them to eat and stop worrying because soon they would wreck and the food on their stomachs would be more valuable than the work they did to save a boat destined for wrecking. So, all 276 people ate while Paul broke bread and gave thanks to God for God's blessings in the midst of the storm.
In the morning, they saw land and rejoiced. Though they did not know precisely where they were the crew was prepared to land at all costs. So, the sailed the boat toward the shore. As they drew closer, they struck a reef and the ship was immobilized upon it.The waves beat against it and they were forced to abandon their boat and swim for land. The soldiers knew their duty and so they drew their swords with the intention of killing the prisoners so that none might escape. The centurion stepped in and stopped them, though, and ordered all people to swim for the shore if they were able. Those who weren't able picked up pieces of the boat to float upon and made their own way to land at a slower pace.All 276 of them made it safely to land just as Paul had insisted they would.
Upon the shore, the crew and passengers were cold and wet but greeted warmly by the native people of the island they learned was called "Malta." The Maltans built a fire and gathered the shipwrecked passengers and crew around it. Paul wanted to do his part in helping to sustain this generous act and so he gathered a bundle of wood. The warmth of the fire had roused a viper and when Paul released the wood, the serpent struck out and bit his hand. It held on and released its poisonous venom with speed. The Maltans began to speak under their breath about Paul that he must be some terrible murderer if justice would pursue him so far as to strike at him with poison after he survived a shipwreck. All eyes were on Paul as he shook off the serpent and went about his business with no anxiety of fear. All those gathered on the beach waited for Paul to succumb to the terrible venom and became increasingly surprised as Paul remained healthy and fine. They insisted he was a god. He insisted he was God's. He didn't see the big deal--God had promised he would be safe and he had no reason to doubt the one who had called him on that road to Damascus. He preached the faith that gripped him and many were converted from among the Maltans and the boat's passengers and crew.

Malian troops man an observation post outside Sevare, some 620 kms (400 miles) north of Mali's capital Bamako Thursday, Jan. 24, 2013. One wing of Mali's Ansar Dine rebel group has split off to create its own movement, saying that they want to negotiate a solution to the crisis in Mali, in a declaration that indicates at least some of the members of the al-Qaida-linked group are searching for a way out of the extremist movement in the wake of French airstrikes. (AP Photo/Jerome Delay)
SEVARE, Mali (AP) — Islamic extremists based in the Malian town of Ansongo have destroyed a bridge near the Niger border, officials said on Friday, marking the first use of explosives by the insurgents since the start of a French-led military intervention two weeks ago.
The explosion shows that the extremists remain a nimble and daunting enemy, despite gains by the French, who have recaptured three towns from the insurgents and on Friday pushed toward the Islamist stronghold of Gao, one of three provincial capitals controlled by the al-Qaida-linked rebels.
Djibril Diallo, the village chief of Fafa, located 12 miles (20 kilometers) from the bridge, said by telephone on Friday that residents of his town had called him to confirm that members of the Movement for the Oneness and Jihad in West Africa had traveled toward the border with Niger to the outskirts of Tassiga on Thursday, before destroying the bridge crossing into the town. The rebel group, also known as MUJAO, traveled from the locality of Ansongo, roughly 25 miles (40 kilometers) from Tassiga.
"That's exactly right. They exploded it. It was last night at around 9 p.m. The Islamists left their barracks in Ansongo after the airstrikes, and headed toward Niger. They caused the collapse of the bridge near the town of Tassiga, not far from Niger," said Diallo.
Julie Damond, a spokeswoman with aid group Doctors Without Borders, which has a team in Ansongo, said no injuries were directly related to the explosion. However, several people were being treated in the Ansongo hospital after a bus they were riding in fell into a hole in the bridge caused by the blast, she told The Associated Press by telephone from Bamako, the Malian capital.
The attack recalls insurgent tactics used in Iraq and Afghanistan. It appeared aimed at stopping the advance of African troops, stationed in neighboring Niger, who are expected to travel by road into Mali past Tassiga in order to retake the strategic town of Gao. However, the bridge is not the only way to cross the body of water, said Ibrahim Ag Idbaltanate, a former deputy in Mali's parliament from the district where Tassiga is located.
"It's a bridge that is especially used to cross the canyon during the rainy season, when there is a lot of water. But you can make a detour of 3 to 6 miles (5 to 10 kilometers) and find another way to continue on the Niger-Gao road," he said.
However, the bombing of the bridge in Tassiga should cause concern about the strategic bridge leading into the city of Gao itself, said several officials.
An elected official from northern Mali, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared reprisal, said that fighters belonging to MUJAO were seen on the bridge leading to Gao overnight, and there were reports that they planned to bomb it. They then abandoned the idea.
"Their intention was to dynamite it. But finally they decided not to. I don't know why they abandoned their plan to do so," the official said.
Despite these setbacks, Mali's military and French forces pushed toward Gao on Friday, in their farthest move north and east since launching an operation two weeks ago to retake land controlled by the rebels, residents and a security official said Friday. The soldiers were seen in the town of Hombori, according to residents, who said they stayed several hours in the area before heading back westward.
"They were in eight all-terrain vehicles and two armored vehicles," said Maouloud Daou, a resident of Hombori. "They asked us if there were Islamists in the town and we told them they had left. People were very happy to see the Malian and French military."
A Malian security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to journalists, confirmed the advance.
Hombori is located 93 miles (150 kilometers) beyond the current line of control in Douentza, which came back under government forces earlier in the week. The northeastward push puts them just 155 miles (250 kilometers) away from Gao, one of the three main northern cities held by Islamists since last April when the rebels took advantage of the chaotic aftermath of a coup in Mali's capital to seize Mali's northern half, an area larger than Afghanistan.
Since France began its military operation two weeks ago with a barrage of airstrikes followed by a land assault, the Islamists have retreated from three cities in Central Mali, including Diabaly, Konna and Douentza. The Islamists still control the majority of the territory in Mali's north, most importantly the three provincial capitals in the north, including Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu.
The French currently have some 2,400 forces in the country and have said that they will stay as long as needed in Mali, a former French colony. However, they have called for African nations to take the lead in fortifying the Malian army's efforts. There are currently some 1,750 troops from countries in the region, including Togo, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Benin, Senegal, Niger and Chad.
Britain's Ministry of Defense on Friday said it was deploying a spy plane, a Sentinel R-1 aircraft, to Mali to help with the military intervention. The specially modified jet's radar can be used to hunt ground targets. Britain already has deployed two C-17 cargo planes to aid the offensive.
On Friday, the head of the European Union's planned military training mission to Mali briefed officials on his reconnaissance mission to Bamako. He told them that, despite the rapidly evolving conditions on the ground, the training mission is needed more than ever, according to Sebastien Brabant, a spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
French Brig. Gen Francois Lecointre told the officials in Brussels the mission is welcomed by the Malian armed forces and will be instrumental in building a Malian army which can be a sustainable, democratic tool under civilian authority, Brabant said.
The launch of the training mission is expected by mid-February, subject to a decision by the council of EU foreign ministers. Training activities could start a few weeks after that, the spokesman said.
Associated Press writer Krista Larson in Mopti, Mali; Jamey Keaten in Dakar, Senegal; Raphael Satter in London; and Don Melvin in Brussels contributed to this report.

text: This book tells the story of the Manhattan Project's three principal sites: Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Hanford, Washington; and Los Alamos, New Mexico. Using thousands of documents from house plans to medical records, Hales investigates the work at all three sites and the lives of the people. He traces the history of the project from its origin, to the construction of the bombs, to their consequences. He also explores the various occupations of the hundreds of thousands of people employed at these sites between 1942 and 1946. The author focuses on showing the reader that "the District's goal was not to produce communities, but to produce weapons" (introduction), and he explains the military's and the bureaucracy's often underhanded ways of accomplishing this task.

Louis Vuitton Replica Neofull Ikat, A Creation Above And Beyond!Categories:Louis Vuitton
I never thought I would say this about a floral purse, but I love it! Just looking at it makes me smile! It's the perfect handbag for summer and since this is a limited edition bag, you should hurry up and buy it. In a few months, even Louis Vuitton replica handbags like these will be out of stock.
It's crazy what a small little purse like this can do. I'm not such a fan of floral prints and I have no idea why but this handbag touched my heart. It's small but you can also make it big, it's bright but not too flashy, it looks like a small backpack but you can wear it on your shoulder. And here comes the Louis Vuitton replica Ikat bag, which is as beautiful as the original.
The Louis Vuitton replica Ikat handbag it's an inch smaller than the authentic but it's not noticeable at all. Even with this bag worn as a Noe purse, you still have enough room for your belongings and the zipped pocket makes things easier to find. One important thing I must mention, the bottom of the bag is made of leather and the interior is made of polyamide lining, just like the authentic.
So here they are, the famous Louis Vuitton replica Ikat bags. I think these bags are great additions to every woman's closet. What do you think?
