In fact the geometrical methods of ruler and compass constructions cannot solve this (but Menaechmus did not know this). Menaechmus solved it by finding the intersection of the two parabolas x2 = y and y2 = 2x.
Euclid wrote about the parabola and it was given its present name by Apollonius. The focus and directrix of a parabola were considered by Pappus.
Pascal considered the parabola as a projection of a circle and Galileo showed that projectiles follow parabolic paths.
Gregory and Newton considered the properties of a parabola which bring parallel rays of light to a focus.
The pedal of the parabola with its vertex as pedal point is a cissoid. The pedal of the parabola with its focus as pedal point is a straight line. With the foot of the directrix as pedal point it is a right strophoid (an oblique strophoid for any other point of the directrix). The pedal curve when the pedal point is the image of the focus in the directrix is a Trisectrix of Maclaurin.
The evolute of the parabola is Neile's parabola. From a point above the evolute three normals can be drawn to the parabola, while only one normal can be drawn to the parabola from a point below the evolute.
If the focus of the parabola is taken as the centre of inversion, the parabola inverts to a cardioid. If the vertex of the parabola is taken as the centre of inversion, the parabola inverts to a Cissoid of Diocles.
The caustic of the parabola with the rays perpendicular to the axis of the parabola is Tschirnhaus's Cubic.

We finally found the exact car and he worked to make sure it was within my budget and the features we liked. Tm was fantastic when it came to the numbers. Again, he understood my budget and my situation and worked with me to every ones satisfaction. Sabrina has the paperwork down to an art. I have never been through all the paperwork so fast and efficiently. Everything was ready, organized and completed before Roman had time to fill the tank and the detail team do one more check. Greatest car buying experience in my life. Oh, and they include a lifetime warranty!!! Icing on the cake!!! "

The Phillies need an acquisition, a big name to come into the bullpen at this time! The bullpen is the area that most fans and experts on baseball will agree that the team needs the most help. Without any moves like this, the Phils appear to be destined to be a .500 ballclub throughout the year.
Ryan Howard will be back soon, and hopefully he'll be back on track. He needs to get back into a groove and start hitting. Pat Gillick must get on the phones and make something happen for this team, bring us a reliable bullpen pitcher Pat!

Fedora KDE Special Interest Group
The KDE SIG (Special Interest Group) is a group of Fedora contributors that maintain KDE packages in Fedora. Their mission is to provide high-quality, usable KDE software packages to Fedora users and developers and to support one another in maintaining those packages.
Fedora KDE Spin
The Fedora KDE SIG has played an integral role in creating the Fedora 7 KDE-Live spin and is continuing this work for Fedora 8 and beyond:
For Fedora 8 and further, it will also be central in integrating KDE 4:
- KDE 4 Development Platform (Fedora 7 updates and Fedora 8)
- Releases/FeatureKDE4 (Fedora 9 and beyond, full KDE 4 desktop workspace)
Fedora 10 and further:
- Fedora KDE branding (Plasma, desktop, etc.)
- Features/KDE42 (Fedora 11)
- Aditya Patawari

Joining the SIG
Joining the KDE SIG is as simple as being part of Fedora and having a love for KDE. Once you are a contributor to Fedora, you can join the SIG by adding your name above and communicating with the rest of the team in the usual Fedora channels .
How you can help
If you have no idea how to help us with providing a good and qualitative excellent release of KDE in Fedora here are some proposals where we need help:
- Packagers: There are so many interesting packages that are not yet packaged for Fedora. Package it to improve the user experience.
- Reviewers: Only a few persons are doing the kde-related reviews. Help us reviewing so that more packages could be included.
- Testers: If you love KDE use the development version or the updates-testing repository and report bugs, bugs, bugs, request enhancements or features. We need your feedback to improve KDE. See the testing page for things to test.
- Bugs: Become a BugZapper and help us with kde-related bugs.
- Documentation writers: The documentation (esp. the DesktopUserGuide ) is GNOME-centered. Help us to provide an equivalent for KDE.
- Release Notes: The few people that are working on the new KDE-Spin are quite busy with development issues. If you want to help us in writing the release notes for the next version of Fedora we would give you all the info you need.
- Wiki: Maintain http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE and keep it updated with end user information.
- Artists: To provide a matching theme for nodoka-theme (GTK2 and also metacity)
There will be informal KDE SIG meetings in the #fedora-meeting channel every
- Tuesday at 14:00 UTC. Rex Dieter, Than Ngo, Lukáš Tinkl, Kevin Kofler
For more information about the past and upcoming meetings please see the meetings subpage: KDE/Meetings
IRC Channel
Besides the KDE SIG meetings there is also existing a freenode channel for developers and users of KDE in Fedora: #fedora-kde
Programming Tasks
Since Fedora strives to release software on the leading edge we often have to do programming work upstream in order to get things to work together. This can range from diagnosing and fixing bugs that upstream is not yet aware of to porting applications to a brand new framework. Please visit the Programming Wishlist for a list of items that need programmer attention.
Fedora Package Collection
Current Packages
Package Requests
The following is a list of KDE-centric packages people would like to see packaged up and maintained for Fedora:

Best Practices
- For proper Requires:, consider using before the
%descriptionsection this code:
%{?_kde4_macros_api:Requires: kde4-macros(api) = %{_kde4_macros_api} }
- Here are some example
%build mkdir -p %{_target_platform} pushd %{_target_platform} %{cmake_kde4} .. popd make %{?_smp_mflags} -C %{_target_platform} VERBOSE=1 %install rm -rf %{buildroot} mkdir %{buildroot} make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} -C %{_target_platform}
- In the
%filesyou can use at leas the following macros:
%{_kde4_appsdir} %{_kde4_bindir} %{_kde4_configdir} %{_kde4_datadir} %{_kde4_docdir} %{_kde4_iconsdir} %{_kde4_includedir} %{_kde4_libdir}

Getting Started - New Users
The Patent Electronic Business Center (EBC) is the USPTO Patents support organization that provides customer support for patent application electronic filing and other e-commerce matters not related to substantive patent prosecution or legal issues. These include but are not limited to customer submission and access issues as well as general assistance with the various e-Commerce systems. Systems that are supported include EFS-Web, Public and Private PAIR. The EBC also supports the PatentIn and Checker tools. The EBC also issues, administers, and supports the use of customer numbers and digital certificates for the access and use of EFS-Web and Private PAIR. The hours of operations of the EBC are Monday through Friday 6 a.m. – midnight (EST/EDT). The EBC can be reached by telephone at 866-217-9197 (toll free) or 571-272-4100. The EBC can be reached by email at email@example.com.
Customers seeking to access and use the USPTO's patent e-Commerce systems may do as either non-registered or registered users. Customers may obtain registered status by applying for a digital certificate for the access and use of EFS-Web and Private PAIR. Registration provides for the ability to electronically save materials being created for submission and to file follow-on materials using EFS-Web. A customer number and digital certificate is required for Private PAIR which allows customers to review the status of their unpublished submissions and to track their patent applications online.
The following document, the EBC Welcome Wagon, provides a detailed overview of the services that the EBC provides to its customers.
To become a registered user of USPTO's Electronic Filing System (EFS-Web) and Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) system, several pieces of information must be collected to assure that you and only you have access to your data. This page describes the steps you must perform to help us connect you to your data.
1. Obtain a Customer Number
- Apply for a Customer Number
A Customer Number allows you to easily correlate all your filings and correspondence with a single mailing address, eliminating typographical errors or variations in addresses that can make it difficult to correspond with the USPTO. This Customer Number will also ensure that only you can access your patent application information.
To get your unique Customer Number, please download and complete the
Customer Number Request form [PDF] and fax it to the Electronic Business Center at 571-273-0177.
* If you are a registered attorney or patent agent, or a person granted limited recognition, then your registration number or limited recognition number must be associated with your Customer Number. This is accomplished by adding your registration number to the Customer Number Request form.
- Update a Customer Number
If you already have a Customer Number and you would like to update the information associated with that number, please download and complete the
Customer Number Data Change form [PDF] and fax it to the Electronic Business Center at 571-273-0177.

In the media coverage following the devastating 2015 Nepal earthquakes, the impact on schools and education didn't feature much. As part of our Namaste Nepal campaign – a commitment to raise $1m for grassroots charities and NGOs in Nepal – we're helping raise money for the Khagendra New Life Special Education Secondary School, a pioneer in educating children with a disability.
We'll be working to rebuild classrooms and equip them with furniture, computers and equipment to assist children with disabilities. But to do that, we need to raise $150,000. Your pledge will go a long way in giving these kids a proper education.

Hard Candy
Total TimePrep: 15 min. + cooling Cook: 30 min.
Makes3/4 pound
- 5 to 6 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 to 2 teaspoons anise, lemon or orange extract
- Red, yellow or orange liquid food coloring, optional
- Fill a 15x10x1-in. pan with confectioners' sugar to a depth of 1/2 in. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, make a continuous curved-line indentation in the sugar; set pan aside.
- In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and continue cooking for 3 minutes to dissolve any sugar crystals.
- Uncover and cook on medium-high heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage). Remove from the heat; stir in extract and food coloring if desired.
- Carefully pour into a glass measuring cup. Working quickly, pour into prepared indentation in pan. Cover candy with confectioners' sugar. When candy is cool enough to handle, cut into pieces with a scissors. Store in a covered container.
Editor's NoteWe recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.

The candy we made is still partially liquid and won't harden. Is there any way to reuse the candy?
Dec 15, 2011
I've made this two years in a row and my kids love to guess the flavors of each vibrant color. Easy to make and you don't have to worry about it getting stale... Nice to have out over the holiday season.
Nov 7, 2010
The recipe is great, and if you follow the instructions (and live in a non-humid climate like I do!) it turns out as it should. I use an unlined copper pan and found the combination of instructions and equipment perfect the first time out. For those wondering about the wasting of powdered sugar: use hard candy molds and save yourself a bag of sugar. You have to throw it out when the candies have set, which I found irritating the next time I went to the cupboard for powdered sugar and realized I'd thrown a perfectly good bag away. Also, use oil based flavoring (no matter what flavor) or the flavor will be too mild. Non-oil based flavoring evaporates quickly at this high of a heat. Finally, this can be an awful mess to clean up, as the candy hardens on all your tools and you'll have to melt it off again. If you boil water in your pot after making this recipe, the candy comes off fast and smooth. For other tools (like the glass measuring cup or any silicone stirers), use hot water from a coffee pot to melt the candy.
Feb 24, 2010
a bit hard to make the first because i had never made candy like this before but the second time was easy. the 3rd time i made this candy i used 12 teaspoon of mango oil and 12 teaspoon of peach oil instead of the extract and it came out great and i got wonderful reviews for it.

Finally: Someone Who Gets It
Adults may mean well, but do they really get everything you're facing as a teenager? The pressure to drink and party, cheat on that test, or give in to that guy? How about the devastation of losing a friend, parents divorcing, or low self-esteem? Who can better relate than your peers? This Is Now is a devotional written by your peers across the country who face the exact same things you do. God wants you to find encouragement and support through one another "that they might be called trees of righteousness" (Isaiah 61:3, KJV). Brief entrées and rich Scripture verses are packed with hope and wisdom to guide you through these challenging years.
This Is Life—the Real Deal
Nobody said these years would be easy. Or maybe someone did—but it was probably an adult who doesn't get it. Now, in this 365-day devotional, teens just like you come together from around the world to offer guidance through your toughest questions and situations. The entries are genuine—solidly built on the Word of God.
"Why do we look at the girl next to us and wish we had her hair, nose, or thighs? Did God make a mistake when He made you or me? No way! We are expressions of His ingeniously creative mind."
"When I got older; I wasn't so sure of myself anymore. I wanted to grow up, have a career, get married.but I still wanted to climb trees, run, and play."
"Satan tells me things like, 'You don't look pretty' or 'Your friends don't really care about you.' I think these are lies that most girls face. So what do we do with them?"
"This wasn't the first time I had vomited a meal. It was just that, well, I ate too much. I wanted to take it back. I didn't think I was fat; I just wanted to be thinner than I was."
Story Behind the Book
"The teen years make up one of the most challenging and exciting time periods in anyone's life. Teens are faced with temptations most adults either don't understand or have forgotten about. For the one committed to Christ, pressures are even greater. They look for encouragement, support, and belonging from their peers. Sadly, much of what is found is divisive and destructive. So I figured: If teens are intent on learning from their peers, why not give them incredible peer role models? A book written by teens for teens in devotional format will be an exciting tool for spurring spiritual growth among teens!"

Autumn 2012
Student-athletes excel in the classroom: Ohio State's student-athletes continue to shine academically. For the 2011-12 academic year, a record 548 students-athletes were named Ohio State Scholar-Athletes (earning a grade-point average of 3.7 or higher). Ohio State led the Big Ten Conference with 312 Academic All-Big Ten selections.
President Obama honors two Ohio State professors: Arts and Sciences researchers Scott Gaudi, astronomy, and Christopher Hirata, astronomy and physics, were among 96 researchers nationwide to receive the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers. This is the highest honor given by the U.S. government to science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their research careers.
Ohio State institute top in the nation: The Agricultural Technical Institute (ATI), located in Wooster, is ranked number one in the nation among two-year institutions for the number of agriculture degrees awarded. ATI enrolls approximately 650 students annually and offers 32 programs of study.
Researchers focused on fuel-efficient cars: Engineering faculty members Jerald Brevick and Glenn Daehn have received funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop lighter car door panels. Working closely with General Motors and Meridian Lightweight Technologies, the researchers will create molds for car doors that use magnesium alloys, which weigh less than traditional alloys and could result in better fuel economy and reduced carbon emissions.
Pelotonia draws largest support in event history: In only its fourth year, Pelotonia continues to set records for cancer-research fundraising. More than 6,200 riders-the largest number ever- took to the road August 10-12, and Pelotonia is expected to raise more than $15 million for cancer research this year at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.
New program helps advance alumni careers: On August 1, the Alumni Association opened its Office of Alumni Career Management. This program provides career assistance to alumni at all stages of their lives through individual career advising, online resources, and career programming to assist graduates in their job searches and career development.
Private support stronger than ever: A record 211,000 alumni and friends committed nearly $365 million to Ohio State through June 30, 2012, making the last two years of fundraising the most successful in the university's history. Donors are supporting innovative research, new buildings and renovations, and more than $45 million for student financial aid and scholarship support.
University leads Big Ten in supporting students: Ohio State has led Big Ten universities nearly every year in the past decade in awarding financial aid to the highest percentage of its undergraduates.

Asian Pears
A cross between an Apple and a Pear. Medium sized apple shaped fruits with a rough skin, like a Pear. Supplied at 4-5' in height; usually settles to crop within 2-3 seasons, often sooner. The flavour is a subtle cross between the two. Juicy, mild and very pleasurable to eat. Asian pears prefer a sheltered spot and blossom very early with pretyt prominent flower clusters. All are self ertile and well worth growing; a very different fruit tree for the garden or orchard. About 10' on maturity; plant 10-12' apart.

Youth pheasant and quail season Nov. 5-6; regular season opens Nov. 12
PRATT — Do you know a kid who has never been quail or pheasant hunting but might really like the opportunity? Whether it's a niece or nephew, son or daughter, or just a young friend, the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism (KDWPT) asks you to make a date with a youngster for Nov. 5-6 — the Kansas youth pheasant and quail season. The season is a chance to honor the hunting tradition and "Pass It On" to youth, and many adult hunters also see this as time to stretch their legs, scout fields, and work dogs. But youth are the focus.
During these two days, youth 16 and younger may hunt under the supervision of an adult 18 or older, but the adult may not hunt. It's a great time to get kids out before the birds are stirred up, improving the opportunity of bagging game in uncrowded conditions. The daily bag limits during this season are two rooster pheasants and four quail (half the regular season limit).
For those who don't have access to private land to hunt, KDWPT maintains wildlife areas and more than one million acres of Walk-In Hunting Access lands throughout the state. For more information on these areas, go the KDWPT website, www.kdwpt.ks.us, and click "Hunting/Where to Hunt in Kansas." Explore public wildlife areas throughout the state and download the 2011 Kansas Hunting Atlas, also available in printed form at most license vendors. For information on where the best bird hunting may be found, click on "Hunting/Upland Birds" and go the Upland Bird Regional Forecast.
So there's no excuse; take a kid pheasant and quail hunting Nov. 5 and 6, and enjoy yourself. If you're an avid upland bird hunter, you may be back the following Saturday, Nov. 12, when resident and nonresident hunters hit the field for the opening of the regular pheasant and quail seasons, which run through Jan. 31, 2012. Prairie chicken season opens the following Saturday, Nov. 19. This season runs through Jan. 31, 2012, in the Northwest (north of I-70 and west of U.S. 281) and East (all Kansas east of U.S. 281) units. In the Southwest Unit (south of I-70 and west of U.S. 281), prairie chicken season runs Nov. 19 through Dec. 31.
The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) reminds all hunters to avoid standing crops during upland game bird seasons. Although most milo is expected to be harvested before the seasons open this year, some milo and other crops may not, and most farmers do not want these unharvested fields disturbed. Permission is required to hunt private land, whether it is posted or not.
During the regular seasons, the daily bag limit on pheasants is four roosters, and the daily bag on quail is eight birds of either sex. The daily bag limit on prairie chicken in the East and Northwest units is two, and the daily bag in the Southwest Unit is one. The possession limit on all three species is four times the daily bag limit.
A valid Kansas hunting license is required of all residents ages 16 through 64. Nonresidents must purchase a $72.50 nonresident hunting license, except that those nonresidents younger than 16 may purchase a youth nonresident license for $37.50. Anyone born on or after July 1, 1957, must have completed a certified hunter education course, except that youth 15 and younger may hunt under direct adult supervision without hunter education certification. Youth 12 through 15 may hunt without adult supervision (during the regular season only) if they have completed a certified hunter education course. Anyone 16 or older may purchase a one-time deferral of hunter education, called an "apprentice hunting license," for the same price as a regular hunting license. This license is valid only through the calendar year in which it is purchased, and the holder must be under the direct supervision of a licensed adult 18 or older. A hunting license and hunter education are not required while hunting one's own land.
For complete hunting regulation information, consult the2011 Kansas Hunting and Furharvesting Regulations Summary, available wherever licenses are sold or online at the KDWP website under "Hunting/Hunting Regulations."
"If you were fortunate enough to have been introduced to hunting at an early age, you know the magic," says KDWPT Information Production Section chief Mike Miller. "It rests in your memories forever, and it drives a basic desire to experience the outdoors each fall. Hunting is a valued natural heritage, but it's one that must be passed on from one generation to the next. Hunter numbers are decreasing, and younger generations are in danger of missing these treasured experiences. And fewer hunters reduces the financial, social, and political support needed for effective wildlife management. We hope everyone 18 or older who likes to hunt will take a youngster hunting this fall."

A Corporate Governance ApproachKnudsen, Jette Steen (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This article examines why Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) in 2001 turned down a proposal for an EU take-over directive? The first explanation focuses on party ideology. However, MEPs overwhelmingly voted according to national rather than party lines. Two additional explanations emphasise national characteristics: labour market legislation (national schemes to protect employees against dismissals) and corporate governance issues. Labour market legislation can explain the UK and German MEP votes but not the Swedish and French MEPs votes. These votes can be explained by emphasising measures against take-overs such as a high level of market capitalisation and unequal voting rights. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6617

Kershaw pitched for the first time since the Dodgers kicked off the season Down Under in Australia. The two-time Cy Young winner dominated the Diamondbacks in Sydney and after six weeks off he showed the same form he had in late March. Kershaw tossed seven shutout innings, striking out nine and walking none, throwing just 89 pitches. The best Dodgers lefty since Fernando and Koufax returned just at the right time, to jump right into a division battle with the Giants.
San Francisco is off to a hot start with record of 21-12, currently the second best record in all of baseball. The Giants have won nine of their last eleven games. Their pattern of winning in every even numbered year is taking shape again. The Dodgers are currently 2.5 games behind the Giants and a big part of that advantage can be traced back to their success versus Los Angeles. The Giants have won four of six versus the Dodgers this season, taking two of three in the two series they've played.After the Dodgers wrap up in Washington they'll return home and jump right back into the rivalry as the Dodgers host the Giants in a four-game series. They'll get a bit of a break since the Giants have put ace Matt Cain on the DL due to a cut on his ring finger. Josh Beckett and Paul Maholm will start the opening two games, with the Dodgers aces Zack Greinke and Kershaw starting games three and four. If Los Angeles can get off to a quick start and win one or two of the first two games they'll be in position to win the series and start to build back momentum versus San Francisco. Maholm was due to move back to the bullpen when Kershaw returned, but the sudden injury to Ryu has kept the veteran lefty in the rotation for the time being. Beckett, coming off multiple injuries, doesn't have a victory to show for it, but has pitched well this season. He currently sports a 3.14 ERA and has given up just 20 hits in 28 innings pitched while striking out 30. His solid secondary numbers, combined with the solid seasons that Haren is putting together, bodes well for the Dodgers near-term future.
Success versus San Francisco will require the Dodgers bats wake up a bit as well. While the offense has performed in spurts this season, they've also struggled at times. Adrian Gonzalez, Dee Gordon, Juan Urible and Yasiel Puig are having outstanding years and have carried the Dodgers offensively. Conversely, Hanley Ramirez, Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford have largely struggled. Ramirez, arguably the Dodgers best hitter, will come around. The bigger question marks surround Kemp and Crawford and whether or not they can regain their past All-Star form.Tuesday night the offense broke through at the right time with the top five in the lineup all collecting two hits. Hanley Ramirez homered and drove in two runs, with reserve catcher Drew Butera hitting a three-run home run. A win in the series finale on Wednesday would give the Dodgers a series victory, a 6-3 road trip, and real momentum for the upcoming home stand that starts with the Giants.
For Clayton Kershaw the quest for a third Cy Young starts again. He has his work cut out for him to catch up to the top contenders, including Zack Greinke, but with a near flawless first start back from injury he's off to a good start.

O Tannenbaum! Trees Fly Free with Air Berlin
In an effort to lure customers in a cramped European air-travel market, German low-cost carrier Air Berlin is turning to alternative solutions. And its Christmas-season strategy seems the least conventional of all.
In time for the holidays, Germany's second-largest airline is luring customers in the busy holiday season by offering to transport their Christmas trees with them free on international flights.
Germans are renowned for their wanderlust and the marketing move is an attempt to tap the market of hundreds of thousands of them who fly away for the holidays each year. An Air Berlin spokesman declined to put a number on how many Christmas trees will be airborne this month, but he did say there has been a good response to the offer.
The timber transfer deal is particularly popular among German vacationers celebrating the holidays in Spain, Air Berlin said. While they may long for warmer temperatures, some don't want to leave their northern European traditions behind.
Despite the generous Christmas spirit, there are limits on how far the airline will go to ensure a pine-scented holiday…

Weight-loss pitches come fast and furious this time of year: diet meal delivery plans, gym memberships, even high-tech scales. Now, there are smart utensils that monitor how fast you eat.
The $99 HAPIfork, available this spring, uses sensors to monitor its movement from plate to mouth. It tracks the number of forkfuls per meal and per minute, and it times the interval between each. The fork lights up and vibrates when the diner eats too fast — that is, if there are fewer than 10 seconds between forkfuls. With the smart fork, "you will greatly improve your digestion, and you'll likely start losing weight," says a company spokesman. (Presumably, any weight loss is from eating less and slowly, not from food that vibrates off the fork and onto the floor. The HAPIfork vibration is similar to the buzz of a vibrating cell phone.) Although dining data can be tracked over time, the information must be downloaded to a computer after each meal. A spokesman says a Bluetooth version is in the works.
Slower eating has proven health benefits. Studies have found that it takes about 20 minutes for your stomach to alert your brain that you're full, and eating faster means you are likely to consume more before that happens, says Kari L. Kooi, a registered dietitian at The Methodist Hospital in Houston. The HAPIfork's size, a bit smaller than typical dinner forks, also helps. "A lot of people stuff their mouths with each bite," she says.
Dieters are likely to find, however, that it takes more than a smart fork to meet weight goals. A 2011 study in The Journal of Nutrition found that although diners felt more sated after a slowly eaten meal, the more leisurely dining speed didn't reduce their inclination to snack shortly after the meal. The $99 fork may also be more of a short-term investment. Slower eating is a conditioned behavior, and regular fork users are also likely to find that after a few months, they don't need the fork's warnings, says Kooi. (A spokesman says the HAPIfork's associated app and tracking tools help users develop long-term healthy habits.)

One of the most powerful convertible of the Bentley is the GTC Speed with the speed of 200 mph. The latest Bentley GTC range is extended and refined with the two recent models of Bentley GTC delivers an enhanced comfort, choice and style. Now the launch of the new GTC range will get the success with a subtle evolution of its style, which is distinct and a range of technical and has the enhancements, which benefits the customer choice and comfort.
The GTC's appeal is further got its strength by the inclusion of the latest 600 bhp model of GTC Speed. It is one of the most powerful convertible of Bentley and was inspired by the legendary models of Speed of Bentley since 1920s. There is a sharing of fresh frontal appearance in the latest GTC models. The radiating grille of the vehicle is more upright with an accentuating the profile of Bentley, bolder lower air intake and a more pronounced square edge. All these recent models are more distinguished by the availability of two recent exterior paints, new color hide and chrome headlamp bezels.
For a standard GTC, recent low friction dampers will provide an improved comfort in ride. Including this the two new options may be given on both the GTC models such as the fade resistant, light weight, largest among the world for producing the production passenger car brakes, sophisticated adaptive cruise control and carbon ceramic brakes.
Exceptionally rigid steel body and the chassis of GTC proved more than the capability of coping up with the power of the 552 bhp 6L W12 engine. For the latest Continental GTC Speed, the twin turbocharged W12 engine of Bentley will now develop a speed of 600 bhp, which delivers the true performance of 200 mph with the exhilarating, roof up and acceleration, which is effortless. Even if it is with the roof down, GTC Speed can reach 195 mph.
Continental GTC Speed is visually differentiated by the subtle design enhancements, which will emphasize the higher performance credentials of it. At the front part of the car the lower air intake grilles and a radiator has a matrix, which is dark tinted as a standard element. The 600 bhp W12 engine of GTC Speed will develop the power by 9 percent than that of a basic GTC. It will also develop the torque by 15 percent compared to the normal standard GTC.

Dedicated SMOS campaign activities down under
As an essential part of preparing for ESA's SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) mission, arrangements are currently well underway for an intense one-month campaign that will bring researchers from all over the world to the Goulburn River Catchment test site, in New South Wales, Australia.
The campaign for validating the operation of SMOS (coSMOS) will be carried out in November and is designed to acquire a set of 'SMOS-like' observations to ensure that the mission's soil moisture retrieval algorithms are finely tuned and properly validated before the satellite launches in 2007.
SMOS is the second Earth Explorer Opportunity mission to be implemented as part of ESA's Living Planet Programme. The main aim of the mission is to further the development of climatological, meteorological and hydrological models by observing soil moisture over the Earth's landmasses, and sea-surface salinity over the oceans. Not only will the SMOS mission further our understanding of the Earth system, but it will also demonstrate a new measuring technique by adopting a completely new approach in the field of remote sensing. SMOS will carry the first-ever space-borne 2D interferometric radiometer that operates at 1.4 GHz (L-band). It will provide global coverage every 3 days.
The development of the SMOS mission requires essential work in the field to study various effects on the signal. With the SMOS payload currently under construction, it is now time to fine tune and validate the retrieval-processing scheme by feeding it with SMOS-like datasets.
Therefore, the objective of the upcoming campaign in Australia is to acquire measurements of microwave radiation emitted from the ground to estimate surface soil moisture. These measurements will be taken from an aircraft carrying a polarimetric L-band radiometer, developed specifically for coSMOS by the Technical University of Denmark.
The radiometer utilises two large antenna horns, so that the ground can be viewed from two different angles simultaneously. It will be flown on board an Aero Commander 500S Shrike aircraft operated by Airborne Research Australia (ARA). However, a number of modifications have had to be made to the aircraft before the campaign can begin.
Jörg Hacker, ARA Chief Scientist & Managing Director commented that, "The decision to go ahead with the coSMOS campaign in Australia was only made in August this year. This meant that we had to 'pull out all the stops' to design and implement the modifications of the Aero Commander aircraft so that it will be ready to fly the radiometer in November."
The measurements taken by the radiometer will be used with other relevant data such as surface temperature, density and type of vegetation cover, and soil type to estimate surface soil moisture. The estimated surface soil moisture data will then be compared with actual surface soil moisture measurements that are taken concurrently in the field. This comparison will allow the model parameterisation in the retrieval scheme to be finely tuned. Flying the radiometer at different altitudes will also allow the analysis of how scale and related land heterogeneity influence the retrieval accuracy. In addition, the scientists are hoping that they will see some rain at some point during the campaign, so that they can observe the subsequent drying-out period to estimate the water content in the deeper layers of soil.
"Planning the logistics of such an important and extensive period of campaign activities is altogether a challenging task and involves a number of institutes," stated Jeff Walker from the University of Melbourne, Australia who is coordinating the in-situ campaign activities at the Goulburn River Catchment test site.
The test site, which is about 200 km west of Newcastle (New South Wales), was chosen for the coSMOS campaign because it has been intensively monitored and studied for soil moisture for some time now. Initially, the site was set up for remote sensing validation and assimilation studies for the Australian SASMAS (Scaling and Assimilation of Soil Moisture And Streamflow) Project, where permanent monitoring stations provide meteorological data and soil moisture profiles.
The primary use of SMOS data over land will be used for improving weather forecasts and water resource management and this requires regular and frequent monitoring of surface soil moisture. The coSMOS activities will test for the first time, with real data, the measurement approach being used for SMOS, and will also provide a test bench for assimilating such data in operational schemes. The campaign is essential in order to collect the last building blocks for the development of the SMOS ground segment and also to prepare for SMOS validation, which will be a crucial component of the overall mission concept.
On behalf of ESA, coSMOS will be conducted in cooperation with the Australian National Airborne Field Experiment, which is supported by the Australian Research Council, the Universities of Melbourne and Newcastle, the Airborne Research Australia facility from Flinders University and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre.
