But we're getting ahead of ourselves ... it all begins in the living roombathed in natural light where pastel blue armchairsand sofainvite you to relax and unwind. Comfortably ensconced, you can then take in the decor surrounding you: replicas of sailing ships, lacquered conch shells, corals...there is no doubt that you are near the sea! These decorative objects complement the resolutely contemporary decorand reveal the personality of this villa.
A beautiful round wooden table proudly sits in the middle of the living room, accompaniedby deliberately mismatched chairs: some upholstered in grey and some left in their natural state.

5 Greatest Reasons to Use an Airport Taxi Service From Home or Office
Whether you are travelling on holiday or for business purposes and are searching for a dependable and efficient taxi service, look no farther than one of the numerous locally based airport cab companies in your area. Not convinced? Keep reading to discover the top five reasons people choose their regional airport taxi service instead of the "horrors" of self drive, to get them safely into the airport. London Exec
Stress-Free Travel.
Travelling into an airport for a holiday should be enjoyable; while the exact same travel, for company, should be enjoyable and calming BUT having an atmosphere conducive to work. Yet there is something about airports that is incredibly stress-inducing into the holiday and business traveller alike! Truly, there are not a lot of worse things than getting from a lengthy flight, just to have to wait another 2 hours to hail a cab for a trip home. The same holds for getting to the airport – the stress of being pressed for time, sitting throughout the all too regular bumper-to-bumper traffic to the service roads and then having to find a parking space in an overcrowded (and overpriced!)) Airport is almost too much to manage. With a local airport taxi transport, the professionals know the importance of being on time: with the time to spare! To this end, the top companies are constantly monitoring traffic and other road conditions in order that all of the bookings are dispatched with sufficient time to ensure timeliness. Years of Experience.
For years the driving teams in the most taxi business's airport transport service have been specialising in trips to and from airports serving your locality, your region and farther afield. Every one of these airports are around 3 hours drive away from a beginning or return point in the city. Those are just normal destinations, for my situation; but the very good companies are ready and equipped to take you to some airport in your country; or wherever else you want to go to create transport connections. Note, however, that although many companies specialise in airport services, they are almost always full service cab companies with local motorists running around the clock every day of this yearin your city, so that they can take you wherever it is you want to move; locally, or nationally. Friendly, however Respectful and Professional Drivers
In addition to this focus on punctuality, you might discover that every one of the drivers in reputable cab driving teams are extremely friendly and courteous. They're dedicated to providing a high excellent service and they require all of their drivers to complete a customer service training session prior to joining their business groups.
Vehicles belonging to the Cumbrian taxi companies (that I have dealt with personally) are impeccably clean, well-maintained, and spacious, making for a smooth, comfortable ride. In order to meet all clients' needs, the majority of these companies have begun to expand their fleets to include a wider assortment of vehicles and it will be quite a similar image wherever you are based. After making your reservation, a booking controller will work with you to make certain that you receive a vehicle big enough to match your group and make sure that any other requests that you may possess, are catered for. And finally, your taxi business of choice will have all of their cars air conditioned and well-lit, for those of you wanting to have work done while en route. Low Prices and Outstanding Value
All the airport taxi services are vying to offer you the most competitive prices in the company, in your area, so shopping around and so it's wise to do a little bit of shopping around for the best deals in your area… it doesn't take long. You likely get bombarded with claims about best deals for this, that and another regular and it's worth while just checking the taxi firm's claims. A number of the more up to date operators really offer you an internet interactive fare calculator, as an extra advantage. So please do check these promises for yourself- you'll soon find where the quality actually lies. Again, as an example, one of my regional companies do go the additional mile and have now trained their motorists and invested in the technology that allows money or debit and credit cards to be accepted in the car. In addition, for their regular business partners, the best performing companies supply the option of preparing a company account for quicker, simpler streamlined payments.

St Peter's CofE Primary School
"Every Child a Success"
St Peter's CofE Primary School
"Every Child a Success"
Dear Parents,
On behalf of the governors and staff, I should like to welcome you and your child to St. Peter's C of E Primary School. This website has been prepared to outline the organisation of the school, the curriculum and facilities. In addition, I hope you will gain a flavour of the school and a sense of the open and friendly atmosphere. St Peter's is a popular village school in the heart of Burnham's community, a voluntary controlled church school and part of the Diocese of Oxford. Our mission statement which underpins all that we do, explains that our school should be a place where each child feels valued, is nurtured and is able to achieve success in all aspects of school life. In order for that to be possible they need to feel safe and secure through the support, wisdom and integrity of the adults who care for them. Gospel values run through all that we do in school. We work hard to create a school where children will always be encouraged to do the best that they are able, to be confident and respectful, to have a sense of justice and fairness and above all to be kind and value one other as part of a Christian community. St Peter's is a one form entry school, taking children from Reception through to Year 6. We currently admit children from the term after their fourth birthday.
We have excellent resources including a computer suite, interactive smartboards in all classrooms, a music and art room. We have extensive grounds with a multi surface games area which provides an area for children to play games on all year round. We have a wide range of after school clubs where children may take part in such activities as football, art, singing, basketball and cookery. We offer support to parents through the provision of a Breakfast club where children may be left from 7.50am and we also provide an after school facility that is available until 6.00pm. We work closely within the local Burnham Parish both to support local charities and to offer our children a sense of belonging and understanding of what it means to be part of a community. We also have strong links with St Peter's church, attending services at Easter, Christmas, Harvest and other Holy days. During Lent we have an Enterprise week, where children plan fundraising activities for a range of selected charities often designing and making products to sell themselves. We aim to create a close and trusting relationship between home and school so that parents feel confident to be able to speak to staff regarding any area of the child's education and also for staff to approach parents should they have a concern regarding their child. We hope this website is able to answer many of your questions but please feel free to come into school where you will be warmly welcomed and offered a tour of school plus any further information we can help you with.
God Bless
Lesley Blount

Wonderful staff from start to finish!! What a great experience. Very quick and efficient!! I would highly recommend.
5 out of 5 starsposted 1 month ago
Extremely polite and attentive nurses, and a thorough but efficient doctor! All staff here are friendly and make the atmosphere feel welcoming, which is ideal in a place where patients can be nervous about symptoms or from waiting. Definitely a great place to go for last-minute health problems that need immediate attention!
5 out of 5 starsposted 2 months ago
This facility is fully equipped and the staff is super nice and give great customer service. The doctors were knowledgeable and diagnosed me correctly. Lots of great extras here. They have a kids corner where kids and parents can sit down and play, they offer snacks if you're feeling peckish. Each room contains a tv with its own remote and you can watch movies and or shows while you wait for the doctor. It's unfortunate when I have to come here because it means I couldn't wait for an appointment with my own doctor but this place is comfortable and I get great care as well.

Easy quick friendly and great quality care - the stitches came out ace! And glad they took Tufts insurance!

How Many People
Quality of Life
County Profiles
In This Section:
�[O]ur ordinary surroundings, built and natural alike, have an immediate and a continuing effect on the way we feel and act, and on our health and intelligence. These places have an impact on our sense of self, our sense of safety, the kind of work we get done, the ways we interact with other people, even our ability to function as citizens in a democracy. In short, the places where we spend our time affect the people we are and can become.� --Tony Hiss
�It is as important to understand the design of the human habitat as it is to understand the ecology of a wetland.� --James Howard Kunstler
What is �quality of life"? In the context of land use, quality of life depends on how our surroundings affect our well-being, which is determined by such things as:
Community Character
�If you do not know where you are, you don�t know who you are.� --Wendell Berry
�We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us.� --Winston Churchill
Places, like people, have personalities. Each has its own, and each is unique. What makes Quincy Quincy? What makes Bristol different from Panacea? Once you get to know a particular place, you can name things that make it what it is, that give it personality. These things usually cannot be measured or counted or otherwise quantified, but they are nevertheless vital to preserving a community�s character.
Community character is strongly influenced by how people in a place make their living. Forestry has dominated the economy throughout the ARROW region, along with agriculture in the northern counties and commercial fishing along the coast. Imagine what Marianna would be like if there had been a big oil strike in Jackson County. Would it look and feel like Houston, Texas? And what if the paper mill had been built in Carrabelle instead of Port St. Joe? Playing these what-if games can help you focus on what gives your neighborhood its own particular character.
Travelers say that much of the United States is getting to look the same: same stores, same signs, same architecture, same parking lots. This increasing uniformity is in itself a type of community character, but it can obliterate the unique combination that makes a place one of a kind. Why live there when the same thing can be found in a larger town with more opportunities?
Community character is very easy to lose. As the ARROW region's economy shifts from forestry, fishing, and farming into building houses and providing services for new residents, the character of the region's communities changes too. The more new residents move in, the more commercial development will move in, too. Places will lose the character that attracted all those new residents in the first place.
Although land-use planning should consider community character, it often fails to do so. Traditional planning and zoning rules and procedures do not consider community character.
Citizens must make their opinions and preferences known during the planning process. By getting involved in planning efforts in your city or county, and by voicing your opinion on zoning issues that affect your neighborhood, you can help to shape the future character of your community.
Teton County, Wyoming, has a good plan for protecting community character.
The word "noise" is derived from the Latin word "nausea." Noise is unwanted sound. Each of us makes noise in one situation and suffer from the same noise in another situation. A couple of examples:
Noise can also affect health. Extreme noise causes temporary hearing loss, which becomes permanent with repeated exposure. Noise can interfere with sleep and metabolism, and it has been implicated in heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, and violent behavior. Chronic exposure to noise can decrease our productivity.
Noise is a very common form of pollution, especially in cities, where noise comes from roads, airports, factories, and construction sites. In rural and suburban areas, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, boom boxes, barking dogs, and crowing roosters may disrupt the serenity of your local neighborhood.
So what can be done about noise pollution? On an individual level, being a considerate neighbor is probably the best thing. Reduce the amount of sounds emanating from your yard that might be considered to be noise by your neighbors. For instance:
Nothing beats a face-to-face meeting with your neighbors to talk about problems before the situation gets out of hand. There are certain things that government officials can do to limit problems with noise pollution. These include:
The Northwest Florida Greenway may generate noise pollution once it is operational. This project will maintain a mixture of agricultural and public lands between Eglin Air Force Base and the Apalachicola River. The air space above those lands will be used for military training and testing, which will entail sonic booms and low-altitude flights.
For more information:
Light Pollution
"More of our children, and their children, should be able to look up at night and see that the Milky Way isn't only a candy bar."
Badly placed and excessive outdoor lights obscure our view of the stars. Can we preserve the view and simultaneously use outdoor lighting? Yes!
Light pollution is a concern in the ARROW region because outdoor lights confuse migrating birds and hatchling sea turtles. These animals rely on the moon and stars to guide them. Bright artificial lights can disorient them. Hatchling sea turtles may end up on a road instead of in the ocean.
Other reasons why excessive outdoor lighting is a problem include:
What about security lighting? Studies by the US Department of Justice and the National Institute of Justice show no conclusive evidence that lighting prevents crime. Bad lighting creates dark shadows where thieves and others with bad intentions can lurk.
Good outdoor lighting enhances night vision, security, and safety, while simultaneously conserving energy. Such lighting
Using outdoor lighting wisely can save money, enhance safety, and ensure that migrating animals can find their way. It can also help preserve the view of the stars for us and for our children.
For more information:
Crime is the most insidious threat to quality of life. One of the best ways to prevent crime is to know your neighbors, to know what's going on in your neighborhood, and to know what to do if you see something peculiar. Yet the fear of crime can isolate people and make them afraid to take action.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement collects annual statistics on murder, sexual offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft. Data are available at www.fdle.state.fl.us.
To compare the problem in different counties, crime rates are calculated as the number of crimes committed per 1,000 residents. Compared to the crime rate for entire state of Florida, crime rates in the ARROW region much lower.
You can help prevent crime. An approach called �Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design� (CPTED, pronounced Sep-Ted, for short) promotes architectural and landscape designs that increase safety, reduce opportunities for crime, discourage criminal behavior, and encourage people to keep an eye on things around them. A few design suggestions from CPTED include:

Spinning FAQ
Are you brand new to spinning or is it your first class at Bateman's Spin Shack? You can ride your bike or ours. Our spin Bike is the Norco Valence and we have sizes 48cm-58cm (xs-xl). We provide pedals including SPD, Time, Look, Crank Bros. and Speedplay. The bike is attached to a Kinetics Road Machine Smart Trainer and we help you adjust the seat height.
Here are the types of spin classes we offer and the words we use to describe our workouts when we lead classes:
Class Types
High Intensity Spin: High speed workout with shorter, harder efforts help you ride faster
Endurance Spin: Longer, less intense efforts help you ride longer
Skills & Core: Improve skills and efficiency on the bike & strengthen your core off the bike
Spinning Terms
Intervals: An intense type of workout excellent for building strength, where you go hard for a set distance,pedal easily to recover, and repeat your efforts a number of times.
Cadence: The average rate that you pedal when riding. Count the revolutions of one pedal over a set time or use a cadence meter.
Rate of Percieved Exertion: A scale of 1 to 10 - 1 being extremely easy, 10 being an effort you can hold no longer than 30 seconds.
Zones (1 to 5): A measure of intensity level as follows:
Zone 1: Very easy pace - used to recover between intervals so you can go hard again
Zone 2: Endurance pace - still rather easy, but just enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat
Zone 3: A "Tempo" pace you can sustain for over an hour but requires a good effort
Zone 4: "Steady State" or "Threshold" - A pace that is difficult to hold for 30-60 minutes, but possible
Zone 5: Climbing pace, power intervals - A pace you can hold for 1-10 minutes
Zone 5+: All out sprints - Pushing hard on the pedals while keeping a fast spin - a pace you can hold for no longer than 30 seconds
Workout Actions
Spin-ups: Short, high cadence intervals. The goal is raise your highest, optimal cadence by learning to pedal smoothly.
Single leg drills: Unclip one foot and rest it next to the bike so you are left to pedal with only one leg. With the bike in an easy gear turn the crank at a comfortable cadence. Focus on smoothing the transition at the 12 o'clock position of the pedal stroke.
Time Trial: An interval performed at a hard, steady pace.
Sprint: An all-out sharp burst of speed, normally no longer than 15 seconds.
Attack: An accelleration or surge of speed over a given period of time, normally 10-60 seconds.

With Spring being the most popular season to buy and sell homes, Florida welcomes hundreds of thousands of new residents every spring season. Floridians have learned to be ready for when a hurricane threatens the area. Last year, two Hurricanes heavily impacted Florida residents: Hurricane Hermine and Hurricane Matthew. For new Florida residents, it is important to prepare for and to monitor the reports issued by the National Hurricane Center.
Are you ready?
On May 25, Governor Rick Scott signed into law a disaster preparedness sales tax holiday, which runs from June 2 through June 4. Residents are encouraged to purchase enough water, non-perishable food, batteries, propane, and other storm necessities to last three to seven days in case of an emergency. The level of the emergency will determine whether it is safe to remain at home or to go to a designated shelter. Residents should research the closest shelter to their new home and should develop and share plans with their families on how to react in an emergency situation, including responding to hurricanes. Traditionally, waiting until the last minute to purchase emergency supplies has resulted in waiting in 4 hour lines and stores running out of supplies across the affected counties. So, what is the best practice? Purchase all of the recommended items that you and your family will need and use well in advance of an emergency. Store all necessary items together in a weather-safe container somewhere in the house where all adults and capable children can locate it.
Basic Supplies
Drinking water. Officials recommend a gallon per person, per day, depending on the heat and the individual's activity level. Residents should over estimate their need for water. Avoid using containers that can decompose (cartons) or break (glass). Children, nursing mothers, the elderly, and the ill will need more water. Don't forget water for your pets!
Water for sanitation and food preparation. An extra gallon per person, per day will be required for bathing, cleaning, and preparing food for your family. Water for these purposes are limited at shelters. If a "boil-water" warning has been issued for your area, you will also need water purification tablets (to be used if you still have running water). Don't forget water for mixing formula!
Non-perishable food items. Ready-to-eat canned goods (meat, fruit, vegetables, tuna), dried fruit, peanut butter, jelly, canned juices, crackers, granola bars, soup, milk, etc. Cookies, hard candy, and instant coffee and tea are good for the stress foods. Don't forget pet food and medications!
Baby needs. Diaper rash ointment, baby wipes, formula, special needs foods, bottles, pacifiers, favorite toy, blankets, etc.
Medications. Using a medicine container or a labeled Ziploc bag, pack a week's worth of medicine for each family member and store out of reach of children. This will prevent the need to gather several medicine bottles in a rush during an emergency. Try to always have at least a 30 day supply of medicine on hand during hurricane season. During hurricane season, residents typically do not have more than a few days' notice of a possible impact. This is generally not enough time to fill a prescription, especially when pharmacies tend to run out of supplies during an emergency. Don't forget non-prescription drugs (Benadryl, aspirin, antacid)!
Entertainment. Pack board games, cards, books, batteries, chargers for all electronics, coloring books and crayons for entertainment at a shelter or at home if the power goes out.
In a flood zone? Purchase sandbags in advance. Check your flood insurance to ensure coverage in the event of a hurricane related flood.
Clothing and bedding. Boots, towels, blankets, sleeping bags, camping gear, portable chairs, pillows, and at least two complete changes of clothing per person. Don't forget appropriate footwear!
Other Necessities. Garbage bags, propane, disinfectants, deodorant, hand-held fans, industrial fans or portable a/c units, personal hygiene items, toilet paper, soap, liquid hand sanitizer, first aid kit, paper, pens, cash (most businesses will not accept checks during a power outage), map of the area, citronella candles, tools, signal flare, flashlights with extra batteries, bug repellant, duct tape, dust mask, whistle, etc. Remember: in the case of a sudden power outage, it is best to store flashlights somewhere that is known by every family member so they can be found quickly!

Zeon Asia opens new Technical Laboratory for specialty rubbers in Singapore
September 6, 2017
Zeon Asia Pte. Ltd. (President: Jiro Osawa) has officially opened the Asia Technical Support Laboratory (ATSL) in the Singapore Science Park. The fourth technical support base of its kind, after those in Japan, Europe and China, the ATSL will provide technical support to the fast-growing specialty rubber markets of the ASEAN and India region.
Automobile production in the ASEAN and India region is projected to grow considerably in the near future, and internal combustion engines are expected to remain the core of the powertrain.
Since Zeon's specialty rubber products are used in many components of internal combustion engines, including timing belts, oil-resistant hoses, oil seals and gaskets, it is crucial that Zeon Asia supports this dynamic growth in the region.
The Zeon Asia ATSL will not only respond to requests for product testing and propose optimal compositions for customers but also provide true, value-added solutions. Zeon Asia intends to increase its presence in the ASEAN and India region by addressing local needs that are vastly different from those of developed markets where electrification is more prominent than combustion engines. It will provide technical support and guidance that serve potential demand while concurrently contributing to the enhancement and development of the region's rubber processing industry.

Unlike other elusive locations in Tokyo, Yurei Bar can't be missed with its haunting decor and eerie music emanating from within. Although it's right next to Tokyo's Kichijoji station, you will need to venture into the secluded side streets to find it.
Halloween in Japan is clearly this bar's time to shine, but no matter what season it might be any dull evening can be vastly improved with a daring visit to Yurei Bar.
Hold your breath and slowly make your way down the stairwell as you cross into the spirit world and enter jigoku (hell). Fear not, you will not be alone in your journey as your recently deceased host/hostess will guide you through your supernatural evening. Your host is one of many ghosts working at this bar and each has their own themed drink relating to their untimely demise. Be sure to inquire with your host and listen to a chilling tale while a delicious poison concoction is prepared before you.
Having now crossed the veil it's impossible to lose interest in the foreboding yet welcoming world around you. Everything from the themed menu to the grotesque, Leatherface-inspired bathroom decor will surely keep anyone's attention. Take caution, though, while that severed hand used to summon your host is (probably) fake, the coffin in the center of the restaurant is not. If you're not careful you might find yourself lying in it before the night's end.
Funeral time?
The menu of ghastly treats will offer something for every palate (mortal or otherwise), but the most popular feature is the Russian Roulette that's result isn't fatal but awfully scary.
If your party should choose to gamble with their lives they may choose to play one, two or all three rounds at roughly ¥150 per person per round. While many will be able to return to their body once they leave the restaurant the loser of the Russian Roulette will have a mouth full of wasabi and might join the other spirits at the Yurei Bar. In fact, the loser will receive a hitaikakushi (triangular headband worn by ghosts in Japanese folklore), funeral garb and will lay in the aforementioned coffin while a funeral is performed for the recently departed.
Overall, the food is average and reasonably priced but the atmosphere is really what sells this place and makes it a unique dining experience in Japan. It is definitely an English friendly restaurant, and those who don't speak much Japanese should be able to still have a great time with the help of accommodating staff.

Firms diversify their activities to grow, to utilize their existing resources and capabilities more, and to adopt the apt industry environments by alienating the undesirable ones. The diversification process across the globe has gained acceleration and momentum only in the recent times. At the same time, foreseeing the significance of diversification, the Continental Group had started expanding its activities long back by extending its voyage to more new destinations of business operations.
Apart from merely concentrating on national and international recruitment and human resources (HR) services and solutions through Continental Mercantile Corporation (Inc.) (CMC) which in fact is a Asia's leading HR Consultants Global Recruiters, the Continental Group later moved to more new avenues of diversified operations.
Thus, technical training and evaluation of technical skills which is an area very much relevant to utilization of human resources, was added initially to the folder of diversification of the Continental Group.
The Continental Academy for Technical Studies (CATS), an internationally renowned Institute owned by the Continental Group provides world-class technical education to persons aspiring jobs in oil & gas industry. A specialized training programme by the name, "Oil and Gas Plant Technician Course", is offered by CATS. The candidates, who roll out of this course successfully, are in remarkable demand in 'oil and gals plants around the world.
The NITS Technical Academy (NITS), another world reputed technical institute owned by the Continental Group provides in-depth training to technicians as well as engineers to enable them in acquiring jobs overseas. The NITS also has enormous amenities and infrastructure to carry out spotless evaluation of the technical skills of technicians and engineers who search jobs abroad through the Continental Group. Such an evaluation process fully ensures that "No risk is involved in recruitment of candidates for overseas employment through the Continental Group".
With the motive of providing impeccable services in executive search, manpower outsourcing, payroll management and project support services, the Continental Group established a company by the name of Target Human Resources Private Limited (The Target). The Target also provides facility management services like maintenance and upkeep services to buildings, malls, towers, structures etc., house keeping services, valet and car parking management services, pest control services etc
Security and surveillance services are an area of more significance and inevitability to men and machines for one reason or other. The Continental Group provides fool-proof security and surveillance services under the name 'The Royal Guards'.
'Health is wealth' is a simple idiom with ample meaning. Focusing on healthcare, the Continental Group began a new venture, CITY Diagnostic and Healthcare Clinic. World class diagnostic and health care services are provided at this clinic. Further, the candidates seeking overseas employment through the Continental Group are subjected to rigorous health checks as per requirement at this Clinic.
In the wake of globalization, liberalization and diversification, the three magical areas that transformed the modern world to new heights, hospitality has a major role to play. Realizing the importance of the hospitality sector, the Continental Group established the Golden Fork Restaurant and Catering Company Pvt. Ltd., which operates Golden Fork Multi-Cuisine Family Restaurants, Food Courts and a Pizza Restaurant.
Publicity promotes progress. Realizing the prominence of publicity, especially in business activities, the Continental Group established Continental Advertising and Media Services (CAMS) to provide world-class publicity and advertising services. The advertisements designed and published by CAMS for the clients of the Continental Group result in large number of candidates turning out for the interviews which in turn enable the Clients to select the right candidates of their choice as per their requirements. CAMS is a one-stop Shoppe for all kinds of your brand building,
The three vibrant areas of globalization, liberalization and diversification have caused growth of FMCG industry to unimaginable levels globally. Understanding the growth prospects of the FMCG industry in the present and future times, the Continental Group established the Continental Trading Corporation (CTC). CTC is a super stockist and distributor of a variety of frozen food items and FMCG products.
Understanding the need of the hour where the information technology is fast penetrating to each nook and corner of lifestyles of human-beings through various applications whether it is software development in all fields, mobile applications, portals management, cloud computing, etc., Continental Group has already its foot established with CONTINENTAL IT Consultants India Pvt.

McLaren and BMW Collaborate to Develop the Next Generation of Combustion Technology
The last time that the minds behind BMW and McLaren teamed up, the fruit of their labor was the 1994 McLaren F1, considered by many to be one of the greatest performance vehicles ever assembled. Therefore, the latest news from McLaren is certainly something to get excited about.
McLaren and BMW are collaborating to develop the next generation of combustion technology.
The project, initiated by McLaren, will attempt to design future powertrains for its engines using new combustion technology. The technology is projected to increase engine output, while simultaneously reducing CO2 emissions.
In order to make this powertrain project a reality, McLaren is not only teaming up with BMW, but with several other partners in the industry as well. The collaboration includes McLaren's current engine manufacturing partner, Ricardio.
Meanwhile, Grainger & Worrall, a machining and casting company, is said to be developing a lightweight casting, and Lentus Composites will assist with the composite structures for the powertrains. Finally, the University of Bath will serve as a research partner to help research and investigate the capabilities of the new combustion technology.
"This is an exciting project that plays to the strengths of all partners," states Mike Flewitt, Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Automotive.
The entire project is supported by, and partly funded through, the Advanced Propulsion Centre of the United Kingdom Government.
Both McLaren and BMW are automotive companies widely renowned for the performance capabilities of their vehicles. However, if the current project is a success, then both brands could also become known for the efficiency of the engines that power those vehicles.

Our Voice: Why does Benton County vary its pot farm zones?
Benton County was one of the first to give the green light to businesses associated with the state's now-legal marijuana industry.
In fact, the county was one of the few jurisdictions to almost immediately say it would follow the state law adopted after voters legalized marijuana in Washington state, rather than fight it. Most other area governments have passed a series of temporary moratoriums or enacted outright bans on pot businesses of any type. We have supported Benton County's decision to follow the law, even though people here are fond of pointing out it didn't pass locally. Majority rules on state initiatives, regardless of geography.
And for quite a while, Benton County took surprisingly little heat from residents over its decision to allow pot farms to operate in its boundaries. But, then, a person looking to take advantage of the new opportunities decided to build a pot farm in a more affluent neighborhood.
Now commissioners have passed an emergency zoning ordinance to stop it. A public hearing is planned for 9 a.m. June 2 in Prosser.
The temporary ban on pot farms is specific, applying to property within the "rural lands five-acre district," which includes much of Finley and county land adjacent to Interstate 82 and city limits.
It also includes the land that drew the ire of the neighbors in the Clodfelter Road area where the pot farm was proposed, which happens to also be near the future home of Desert Hills Middle School.
But the proposed farm is far enough from the school site that its proximity would not have prevented the state from issuing it a license.
The greater concerns seemed to be those coming from neighbors.
The proposed ordinance amendment says the worries include the "pungent aroma of a marijuana crop, the possible attraction of criminal activity to areas where marijuana is grown, and aesthetic concerns regarding lighting and other security measures either required by a state license or electively installed by growers of marijuana."
The intent of the ordinance is to put a temporary stop to any new pot production facilities in the "rural land five-acre district." It has no effect on existing operations.
The county says the purpose of the provisional ban on new businesses is to give its staff some time to determine if pot farms are a compatible use of property within that zoning area "without the possibility that additional marijuana production operations will commence or that operators will flood the county with applications for permits" allowed under the existing zoning."
Commissioners are supposed to listen to their constituents. Property owners have the right to use their land for purposes allowed under state law and zoning ordinances. The county has the right to make merited changes to zoning.
The county needs to proceed with care and make a decision that is prudent and based on proper uses for land in the zoning area and that treats all areas of the county in a fair manner and not one based on demographics.

This series, written by Pastor Ricky Jacob, who is serving the Winnebago people of Nebraska, looks at the story of Job and helps us discover how to live a life of faith like him.
Today we reflect on a story about Job from God's Sacred Word. Creator God bragged to Satan about this God-fearing and upright man. "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Satan replied. "You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face." [Job 1:8–11 (NIV84)]
Job had no warning of what was about to happen. In one day he would lose his wealth, seven thousand sheep, five hundred oxen, as well as his three thousand camels and five hundred donkeys. Not to mention countless servants.
If Satan had his way he would not stop there. Satan did have his way and through a wind storm, Job and his wife, lost their seven sons and three daughters. Disasters happens!
Like Job, we have three choices when something devastating happens. We can let it destroy us. We can let it define us. Or we can allow it develop us. "At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." [Job 1:20-21]
Satan is your enemy He would take everything from you if he could. God allows him to go so far and no farther. Satan tempts people in order to trap them into all types of addictions. Addictions to drugs, alcohol, sexual immorality, greed, pride, arrogance, murder, gossip, slander, ridicule - all items that Satan uses in order to destroy your relationship with God.
Unlike Job, Jesus knew exactly what was coming. Following His baptism Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness where He was tempted by Satan to no avail. Satan then left Jesus until an opportune time.
That opportune time would come on Good Friday when Satan would apparently destroy Jesus,. Satan was limited to what he could do to Job, Satan could not take his life. In the case of Jesus this was not so. But the story does not end there. Nor does it end with Jesus' burial. Jesus rose victorious, on the third day! Jesus offers you victory as you surrender to the will of His Heavenly Father by trusting in Jesus as your Savior.
This has been Pastor Ricky Jacob of Jesus Our Savior Lutheran Church and preschool, of Winnebago. I close with the words of Good News of Job: "I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth" [Job 19:25 NIV]

Could It Be?
Could it be? Is it possible that my neighbors are moving out? Is it too good to be true? Could I finally get some peace and quiet? If the U-Haul in their driveway last night and the fact that they kept me up until 2 a.m. doing what sounded like throwing furniture down the stairs is any indication...I think they might be moving. No more piano. No more tomato plants in front of my house. No more weird stuff in jars on my front walk. No more blue "ziplock bag" looking things attached to their front door. Oh wait...one less topic for my blog. I'll survive. Hopefully if I'm getting new neighbors, they'll be more like my first ones (who gave me the awsome mirror in my living room) and not worse than the current ones.

Grad students make meals for homeless
At four o'clock last Sunday, Danny Yonto stood in the Center for Graduate Life at UNC Charlotte, surrounded by stacks and stacks, hundreds, of bread heels.
"I was about to make grilled cheese for everybody with them, but it got kind of crazy," said a stunned Yonto, pointing to his small George Forman grill, not nearly big enough to handle the 100 grad students who came to help him make sandwiches for the homeless. He was expecting 30 at the most.
"I think I'm going to let it stale out," he said. "Then I'm going to break it up and donate it for stuffing."
Yonto, 26, a Graduate Life Fellow studying public administration at UNCC, spread the word throughout campus he would be hosting Operation Sandwich, a charity activity that benefits uptown's Urban Ministry Center, Charlotte's largest soup kitchen.
"It was supposed to be a small, intimate affair, but it turned out to be a large, lovely disaster," said Yonto, smiling. He expected just a couple of dozen students would filter in during the afternoon and make a few sandwiches. "I think it was a huge success."
Members of 22 different graduate school-affiliated organizations came together, making 1,220 sandwiches in all for the soup kitchen.
UMC has long encouraged social clubs and other organizations in the community to participate in the activity. Development Director Liz Peralta said when groups make sandwiches, it allows them a financial break.
"It gives us a chance to save on our food costs," she said.
Since 1994, the soup kitchen has served lunch to about 350 to 400 people daily, 365 days a year.
"We have never failed to serve lunch," said Peralta, who notes neither ice nor snowstorms - even the burst water pipe that once collapsed part of the roof - have ever shut them down.
At the soup kitchen, the homeless are referred to as neighbors and are given hot soup, two sandwiches and fruit or salad - sometimes both - with each meal.
Over the years, book clubs, Scout groups, corporations, even the Ritz-Carlton have sent sandwiches to UMC.
"We steer people to make meat and cheese sandwiches, as a good source of protein," said Peralta. "Roast beef is a real treat. Egg salad, they love. Pimento cheese is not a big hit."
It's a good way for the community to connect to the city's homeless population, which UMC estimates at around 7,000.
"Issues like chronic homelessness are hard to understand," said Peralta, "but lunch, we all get."
Yonto chose UMC after learning about it from a friend.
"They're not inviting the homeless to come to their shelter. They're inviting their neighbors. They're treating them like regular people," he said. "That's why I like them."
"It's good to give back to the community,' said Ashish Panday, 25, an electrical engineering student who showed up to help out.
Logan Justice, 27, is working toward her Ph.D. in organizational science. "For me, in a graduate program, it's hard to always feel like you're contributing to the culture, the environment and society," she said. "It's providing us a way to do something that is highly needed in the current economic climate."
Justice and other graduate students stood at tables with heaps of meat in the center, building sandwiches until all the 87 loaves of bread, 21 pounds of cheese,9 pounds of bologna and 22 pounds each of turkey and ham were gone.
Yonto, who kept the sandwich-makers updated by announcing a running sandwich tally throughout the afternoon, was met with cheers when he finally said, "Ladies and gentleman, we are out of meat!"

Having a high eye pressure (also called intraocular pressure or IOP) is one of the main risk factors for the most common type of glaucoma – Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG). An eye pressure of above 21 mmHg is generally considered to be above the normal (the normal range is 10 to 21 mmHg). If you have a high eye pressure and changes to your optic nerve (the nerve that connects your eye to the part of the brain responsible for vision) and corresponding loss of your side vision (termed peripheral vision) you will likely be diagnosed with POAG.
Articles / Public
Glaucoma medical therapy
The goal of therapy is stop patients from being affected by vision loss due to the glaucoma. Unfortunately most people with glaucoma are unaware they have it as it starts by affecting the side vision and then gradually works it's way inwards to affect central vision. Our aim is to prevent this from happening and the only way this can be achieved is by lowering a patient's eye pressure, using the safest way possible.
Glaucoma and Driving
For many people driving is an essential part of their daily life and not being able to drive can have a significant affect on their quality of life. When it comes to deciding whether a person has satisfactory vision for driving there are two aspects to consider. The first is central vision, which is the vision you use for looking at objects straight ahead. The second is your peripheral or side vision that you use to see objects in your wider field of view. Continue reading
Are you at risk of getting glaucoma?
The simple answer to this question is yes – anyone can develop glaucoma. However there are certain risk factors that you may have which increase your risk of developing this disease. It is important to know if you do have these risk factors so that you can be more closely monitored. Unfortunately for the most part glaucoma does not have any symptoms until it is often too late – so regular monitoring by an optometrist or eye specialist is the only way the disease can be diagnosed early and vision loss prevented. We estimate that nearly half of all people with glaucoma in New Zealand are still to be diagnosed. Continue reading
The role of eye drops in treating glaucoma
Once a patient is diagnosed with glaucoma the most common treatment is with medication in the form of an eye drop. There are several different eye drops available to treat glaucoma but they all aim to lower the eye pressure (intraocular pressure) back to a more normal level. Sometimes more than one kind of eye drop is needed to treat glaucoma. Although eye drops are very effective there can be problems with there use. These include side effects, difficulty putting in the eye drops and remembering to use them regularly. Continue reading

Pearson has emerged as a top presence in Indian publishing, and continues to grow at an fascinating pace. The book is intriguing, engaging and the youngsters seem to love it. Plus, it's easy to teach because there is an superb teacher resource book as properly as flashcards packs that can be used to make up a lot of games and activities. Pearson History for Year 9 ensures you have the Australian Curriculum covered – with all chapters clearly organised into the Overview and Depth Study places of the History Curriculum. Don't let the textbook feel" fool you – for the most component we're allergic" to textbooks around right here, but my girls nevertheless genuinely enjoyed this. The accompanying Teacher Edition (available for download separately) consists of all the student-facing components plus skilled development sources and components that can be shared with parents/caregivers.
I'd love to reside in a society where you, as a taxpayer, gave science writers a decent salary (and expenses) to write free textbooks for students. The book has the really feel of becoming written by a young, dedicated, public school teacher on the frontlines of a main battle, which is exactly what Kozol was. Students and teachers utilized them with excellent enthusiasm, stated Mark Share, the district's 64-year-old director of technology, a white-bearded former teacher from the Bronx with an iPhone clipped to his belt. The accompanying CD-ROM consists of data files for every workout in the Student Edition. Furthermore, there are considerable costs associated with writing textbooks and the university does not pay for any of these. The teacher can not consider for her students, nor can she impose her thought on them. Students can purchase a discounted loose-leaf print edition of the text inside the MyLab or Mastering internet site.
MyLab or Mastering with Pearson eText: Pearson's MyLab & Mastering with eText is an on-line homework, tutorial, and assessment program that genuinely engages students in finding out. This comprehensive 2nd Edition textbook covers all eight topics from the 2015 ESS course, along with guidance on Internal Assessment, the Extended Essay, and links to Theory of Information. This sort of back-door privatisation, rather than the likes of Pearson taking over a whole campus, appears a true and present danger in the English and Welsh technique. By combining established content material, a variety of lab investigations, and cutting-edge technology, Pearson Chemistry ensures student good results in the chemistry classroom. The Pearson English for Year eight eTextbook exposes students to the richness of the English language. Pearson Science for Year 9 is developed for an inquiry approach to science studying.
And, also if you believe of it, a textbook has a restricted audience (specialized textbooks very so), and the far more specialized and high-level the book, the fewer men and women will have any use for it. So not only will the total price be high, but every single purchaser will represent a bigger chunk of the cost. The Teacher's Wraparound Edition for Finding out Microsoft® Office Level I involves the full student edition with point-of-use teaching strategies, guides to using other program sources, correlations to Typical Career Technical Core standards and differentiated lesson plans. The teacher is the Subject of the studying approach, even though the pupils are mere objects. That represents around 3.5 % of the district's annual spending, five times what it spends on textbooks.
Pearson Mathematics for Year 9 is written for the Australian Curriculum and has been developed for maximum student engagement. Yes, it's true that I will make much more income on royalties with a new edition and it really is correct that the publisher will make a handful of percent profit on new sales. For instance, he said he resisted obtaining the interactive whiteboards sold as Wise Boards until, one particular day in 2008, he saw a teacher trying to mimic the item with a jury-rigged projector setup.

As Papua New Guinea's labour department prepares to close for the holiday season, initial work permit applications must be submitted by November 27, 2015 and renewal applications must be submitted by December 18, 2015. The Department will close for the holiday season on December 19, 2015, and will resume accepting applications on January 6, 2016.
What This Means for Employers and Foreign Nationals
During the holiday closure period, foreign employees should:
- File new work permit applications by November 27, 2015. Those who fail to do so can file their applications once the labour department resumes work on January 6, 2016.
- Renew work permits set to expire by February 2016 by December 18, 2015. Those who fail to do, or whose renewals are not approved by December 18, 2015, must leave Papua New Guinea and apply for a new work permit abroad.
Those who overstay their work permit validity periods may face fines.

"A powerful book"
Steer your fate in the direction you choose
Change your life and control the types of
opportunities that come your way
Results-driven content with
simple step-by-step instructions
Magic, the kind that will work, isn't easy to find out how to do. The Magic is Real manifestation course shows you exactly how to get truly magical results using powerful methods that you can pick-up quickly and easily. Even if you're new to all of this.
Achieve your goals
Ultra-effective practical methods of getting what you really want in life
Waiting for you inside: three tried & tested ways of steering what you know as "fate" in the direction you choose. Use any of these powerful techniques to produce an incredibly broad set of magical results, including:
• Obtaining physical desires
• Creating timely and opportune circumstances
• Changing your habits or behaviors
• Finding answers and discovering solutions
• Sparking creativity to finish projects
• Boosting luck to find a new job or satisfying relationship
• Finding good deals
• Creating useful connections with people
• Making unlikely events more possible
Made for beginners
Unlock your manifestation powers and get wicked, real-world results without taking ages figuring out "the right way" to do magic
You don't have to be an experienced manifestor with "special powers" or psychic gifts to use any of these techniques. In fact, newcomers generally find it easier to work with them because they don't have any bad habits to replace or junk to unlearn.
All you need to know is clearly explained, and all you need to do is described in a straightforward step-by-step format to help any beginner achieve the results they seek.
If you know what you want from life but don't know how to get it, the strategies within Magic is Real manifestation course can help you make your desired outcome a reality. Even if you're new to magic.
No goofy hocus-pocus
Get results without silly time-consuming rituals or "selling your soul"
Magic is Real takes you through a set of minimalistic, down-to-earth modern magic routines. You won't ever be instructed to buy hard-to-obtain items or expensive tools; meditate for hours visualizing purple light emitting from your crown chakra; or "make deals" with evil spirits under the midnight moon on Friday the 13th.
Depending on the technique you choose, the most you'll ever need is just a quiet place to sit comfortably, some plain paper, and something to write with. Once you've read through the step-by-step instructions, you'll see just how simple it is for anyone to do effective magic, using methods that can take as little as 10 minutes.
In Magic is Real, you'll learn how to unlock your manifestation abilities and tap into a wish-granting mechanism within yourself: a powerful force that influences the mechanics shaping the world around you.
So, whether you want to improve your confidence in social settings, get a good job, find a love interest, or run your own successful online business, you can use magic to make it happen – without selling your soul, or relying on any "outside" forces.
Take this as an invite to try your hand at it, and observe the results.
Avoid rookie mistakes
Get it right. Right from the start
You're not going to make the same critical errors made by every newbie out there trying to do magic. From the very first page to the last, you're following the best experienced-driven instruction, brilliantly presented for easy understanding and execution.
Seven lessons for creating the results you desire in your life
Magic fundamentals
In your first lesson, you'll learn about the mysteriously powerful driving force behind your manifestation abilities and how to use it effectively for real magic.
Being magically effective
Understand what actually needs to happen for magic to work, and consider these optional daily exercises that will ultimately help you manifest your desires with even more ease & efficiency.
Your first step
Each manifestation technique begins here: the most important step in performing real magic. Learn the 8 specific rules you must follow at this essential step in order to get good results.
Technique One
Discover one of the most powerful spell-casting techniques used to architect your desired reality. Along the way, you'll learn how to improve the likelihood of your desired event, create powerful magic charms and audio spells, enhance your magical proficiency, and lots more.
Technique Two
Here, you're taken step-by-step through another manifestation technique used to create a wide variety of magical results: from changing your behaviors, to attracting golden opportunities, to securing material desires.
Technique Three
Transform your reality with a technique we like to call Voodoo Fiction – the last of three effective manifestation strategies taught in the Magic is Real course.
Final points
Following this seven-point manifestor's checklist will optimize your magic practice and results. Get these final points right, and you'll unlock magic's full life-changing potential.
Inside your 94-page core guide:
• Easy-to-follow, effective practical strategies with step-by-step instructions
• Magical hacks, tricks, and shortcuts to accelerate your manifestation results
What extra materials will I need?
To do real magic with Technique 1 and 3, you'll need some paper and something to write with. Technique 2: just yourself!
Huh? That sounds way too simple. Isn't magic all about lighting candles, stabbing voodoo dolls, and talking to spirits?
Try not to discount the methods just because the tools are simple. This course is all about what actually makes magic happen, and how you can do it efficiently & effectively without any fancy tools, complex rituals, or superstition.
Are these methods difficult?
These are some the least complex, most useful, and effective forms of magic. You won't get 'em wrong.
I'm a total newcomer to this kind of stuff. Will this work for me?
Yes. The methods are simple and don't require any experience to get good results.
Do I have to perform all three techniques every time I want to manifest something into reality?
No. Simply pick the one that suits you. Optionally, you can combine techniques if you feel like it.
Will anything spooky happen to me?
The only thing that may be considered "spooky" is when your desire presents itself in your life. (Don't worry, you'll get used to it.)
Are there any negative side-effects?
Of course, before working with the techniques, it's important to make sure you'll be satisfied with your desired outcome. You're working powerful magic, so you should be careful what you wish for.
Is this witchcraft or black magic?
Will I be making deals with any spirits?
Do you discuss money/love/sex?
The course shows you magic techniques that can be applied to any kind of achievable outcome, including money, love, or sex.
So, there's this girl I lik-…
Hate to interrupt but I think I know where this is going.
Although magic can be used to influence others, the success rate is generally lower. And, anyway, there's usually a much more effective way to get what you really want. That involves not putting all your eggs in one basket.
Let's say your goal was to make your co-worker, Emily, fall in love with you. Great, you have excellent taste in women. But rather than specifically target Emily, you are more likely to succeed if you use magic for a meaningful relationship with a woman who loves you – without naming any names. This way, you open up a wide range of great, unknown possibilities, rather than rely heavily on one, very fixed, narrow outcome.
Of course, doing magic in this way doesn't eliminate the possibility of you ending up with Emily, but it's usually best to not target her right from the start.
What's the difference between "Magic is Real" and your previous course, "Magic"?
This major revamp replaces the previous 10-page guide that discussed only one basic technique. This new 94-page magic class discusses, in greater detail, 3 core techniques, variations, and much more. It still includes the original technique.

President John Agyekum Kufuor will leave Accra on Wednesday for a three-day visit to Addis-Ababa, Ethiopia, during which he will hold high level consultations with the African Union (AU) Commission on some urgent matters including recent attacks suffered by African peacekeepers in Sudan's Darfur region.
Rebels in the troubled Darfur region have reportedly attacked members of the AU peacekeeping force, killing at least 10 troops and seizing 40 others. A statement signed by Mr Andrew Awuni, Press Secretary to the President and Presidential Spokesman, said while in Addis Ababa, President Kufuor would hold discussions with Ethiopian President Meles Zenawi and also meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is leading a German parliamentary group on a visit to the AU Headquarters.
At the last summit of industrialised nations held in Heiligendamm, Chancellor Merkel, currently the G-8 President, pledged her commitment to debt relief programmes and raising development aid funds for Africa. The President is expected back home on October 5, the statement said.

My girlfriend is packing up her room, I'm listening to the UK Top 40 (which is awful) and I'm exploring the internet looking for interesting videogames. Consider one found.
For people with their ear to the ground you won't have missed This Is The Police's successful Kickstarter campaign, but just in case you did let's take a look at why this project should be on your radar. The strategy/adventure game will explore the effects of power and corruption in the police force through the eyes of Jack Boyd, voiced by John St. John, a police officer being forced to retire in six months time. In that time he hopes to earn half a million dollars by any means necessary; breaking from his position as a "by the book" officer. He's now ready to do anything to achieve this goal and as the player you'll decide just how far he will go.
The continued presence of American police on our television screens for all the wrong reasons means that This Is The Police has the potential to be an important piece of art, even if it wasn't intended to be as such. The striking art style promises to lend weight to some of the more disturbing scenes the game will offer, some of which you can see on the game's website, and the strategy elements to the game should allow for more scope than a standard adventure game.
This Is The Police was successfully funded on Kickstarter and should be launching on PC, MAC and Linux in December of this year.

Hey, it looks like this whole Weird Band of the Week thing we're instituting in 2012 is already panning out. Just 24 hours after we posted our first Weird Band of the Week, tUnE-yArDs, they turned up on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Nice one, Jimmy!
WordPress doesn't seem to like Kimmel embed codes, so you'll have to head over to his website to watch our personal fave, "You Yes You," or the "hit," "Bizness," which was the one that aired in full on ABC last night. Either way, it's pretty great to see Merrill and the boys weirdin' it up on national TV.

If you are interested in photography you will probably already know what a RAW image file is. If not, put simply it is an unprocessed image from your camera that represents the "as shot" state.
You can of course have your camera do the processing for you and apply things such as; white balance, sharpening and exposure. If you want to have greater creative control over your images, shoot in RAW rather than JPG and process the images on your computer rather than in the camera.
Ever noticed that photos on some websites really has nice vibrant colours (no I didn't spell colours wrong, this is how we spell it Downunder - I digress) that seem to really catch your attention? Yet, your photo's are somewhat muted and dull in comparison.
With a very simple technique in the GIMP you will have your photos looking great in no time. Just one thing that I will say at this point is that you can make a good photo better but you can't make a poor photo good. So, before you start thinking I can fix all those duds, that's not what this tip is all about. This is about taking an already good image and improving it.


text: "CLOTHESlines" is an experience, not just a piece to be viewed. Time and space are integral to the work, which allows the work to become an extension of real life, a chance to connect with memories and feelings and expressions that the steady sound of a sprinkler can resurrect or the bright sounds a happy bird can bring to mind. It is a chance for the audience to feel as if they have been a part of something special, something bigger—not necessarily to feel as if it is new or different but to feel as if they are home.

Divided Lives: American Women in the Twentieth Century
Macmillan, 1992 - History - 291 pages
The lives of American women have changed dramatically in the nine decades since the turn of the century. Women have made extraordinary strides in winning personal autonomy, sexual freedom, economic independence, and legal rights. They won the right to vote, the legal right to equal pay for equal work, and the right to control their reproductive lives. Nonetheless, the vast majority of women still assume the domestic burdens that leave men free to play their traditional role outside the home; paradoxically, the bedrock of liberal individualism that has made women's great gains possible clashes with the powerful tradition of gender inequality. Moreover, it has impeded the growth of social services--health care, maternal aid, and child care--that could further promote equality for women. Equality in practice remains elusive. Rosalind Rosenberg writes a lively history. She includes vignettes of many of the great leaders who during a turbulent century-long struggle have achieved so much for their sex: reformers Jane Addams and Frances Peck; labor leaders Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and Ruth Young; birth-control advocates Emma Goldman and Margaret Sanger; civil-rights leaders Ida Wells-Barnett and Pauli Murray; feminists Alice Paul and Betty Friedan; and many lesser-known women. Enjoyable, colorful, informed, Ms. Rosenberg's book maintains a clear focus as it deals with the leaders, the goals (some contradictory), and triumphs (and occasional setbacks) of the women's movement in the twentieth century.
