Using Your RC Boat in Saltwater: A Guide Before and After Playing with It
Traditionally, RC boats are commonly played by children while they are taking a bath in a pool or a bathtub. Oftentimes, these toys are even placed in fish tanks during a kid's playtime. Today, there are also those that have been designed to be played by adults and teens for racing competitions, display purposes, fishing adventures, and the likes. As such, using your RC boat in saltwater is something that you might consider.
Using Your RC Boat in Saltwater: Things to Do
Most RC boats are designed to be played on bodies of freshwater while some have features that make them feasible to be used in saltwater. However, it is a known fact that salt has negative effects on most products. RC boats, even if saltwater-safe, have parts wherein salt can stick and enter. Thus, you should make sure that you do some steps before and after playing your RC boat in saltwater.
Initial Setup before Using Your RC Boat in Saltwater
Although the manufacturer says that your RC boat can be used safely in saltwater, there are some parts that you need to double check before placing it in saltwater. That is important so that water and salt will have no chance of entering the product. Such are the following:
- Ensure that all the screws in the boat are tight
- The engine or motor should be mounted well and the cover must be tightly sealed.
- Propellers and rudders should also be not too loose and tight.
- The battery should also be protected well by making sure that the cover is sealed properly.
After-Play Care Tips
As initially mentioned, the salt from the water will stick and remain in the RC boat even after you retrieve it from the water. To counteract the negative effects of the compound, you must do some after-play care procedures to prolong the lifespan of your favorite toy. Also, the care tips below should be done every time the RC boat sinks or flips in the water.
- Washing it Thoroughly
When it comes to cleaning RC boats, it is important that the soap should be neutral or alkaline in nature. That will make sure that there will be no chemical reaction between the salt and the soap ingredients. Although it might sound obvious, it is worth mentioning that you should only use freshwater when cleaning your RC boat.
With those things in mind, the first step that you need to do is to wash the toy with plenty of freshwaters in order to remove any salt present on the surface of the toy. The next thing that you should do is to get a clean cloth and make a lather using the soap. After which, gently rub it on toy's external parts. Lastly, flash it with freshwater.
- Wiping it Dry
The next thing that you need to take care of is making sure that every part of your RC boat is dry, especially those that are made of metal. You may allow your toy to air dry, but before that, initially wiping the water off is still recommended. This step is extremely important whether you used the RC boat in fresh or salty bodies of water.
- Lubricating the parts
The purposes of lubricating all the parts of the RC boat is to prevent corrosion, as well as to maintain the efficiency of the moving parts. The best product to use is oil that is sold by RC manufacturers. Also, make sure that you do not directly place the oil on the toy. Hence, you must pour a little amount of oil in a clean cloth and wipe it over the RC boat.
Important Note: For RC boats that sunk or flipped, it is important that you tap the toy to make sure that water inside is removed, in case it was able to enter. After which, you can proceed with the washing, drying, and lubricating steps.

Is it Worth the Effort?
The fun and excitement that RC boats give whenever we play them are undeniable. Most of you might think that doing the before and after steps prior to using your RC boat in saltwater is time-consuming and tedious. Yes, it is. However, the benefits that you will gain prove that those are worthy enough. Following the suggestions above will be helpful but you must also remember one important thing that most RC boat owners often forget. That is; washing, drying, and lubricating your RC boat should be done immediately after turning them off and not when you have reached home.
Hope these simple but effective rules help you to extend the life your RC boat.

That many people misuse Adderall hoping to enhance work performance should not be news. But apparently it still is. The New York Times just published an article about workers in finance, tech, business, the arts and the professions misusing stimulant medications like Adderall, Ritalin and Concerta so as to gain a competitive advantage, or just keep up. As I've learned in my clinical practice, many are headed for a fall, even when they believe they have it all under control. Luckily, there are lots of warning signs along the way before it's too late that the time has come to get some help.
No one should be surprised that so many at work use stimulant medications designed to treat ADHD. We have known for years that many students routinely turn to stimulant medications. The best current estimate from a 2015 meta-analysis (a study of the available studies) is that one in six college students misuse ADHD stimulant medication for purposes of enhancing performance. Continued use at work makes a kind of sense; why change successful work habits just because of graduation? That's why no one should be at all surprised so many in competitive fields turn to stimulants. People started using them in school. They worked. Good grades achieved. Jobs secured. Why change?
Well, one reason to change is that life is not finals week. Life never stops. When you work for a living, especially a competitive good living, you don't get extended semester breaks for rest and recovery, and then a clean slate with the next new semester. Instead, the question "what have you done for me lately" rules the day. Perfection becomes impossible. Even someone talented and privileged enough to do anything they want to do still can't do everything. Choices need to be made. Taking speed does not change that. The fact is that in comparison to college, life dramatically escalates the risks that occasional as-needed amphetamine-use will degrade into dependence and addiction. Plus, there are also significant risks even for those who successfully limit use to an occasional as-needed basis, like never fully developing the grounded self-confidence one's achievements would otherwise allow.
No one wakes up one day suddenly addicted to amphetamines like Adderall. It's not a "poof!" It's a process. It's a long way from not saying no to not being able to say anything other than "more!" Along the way, statements about the horrors of addiction, as well as moral posturing, do little to support the self-reflective reappraisals of behavior that can change the process. It's too easy for someone to say "that's not me" or "I got it under control." And when misuse becomes addiction and dependence? Then denial is just too powerful for reason to prevail. The best time to get a (mis)user's attention is before it's too late.
But how, how to get their attention? One of the lessons from clinical practice is that if you want to be heard you have to stay as close as possible to the other's experience. You have to speak their language as well as your own. Addiction horror stories, moral injunctions, even begging and pleading, rarely if ever spark the self-reflection that can lead to behavior change. However, what people do sometimes hear are experience-near comments that support moments of self-reflection, little "ahas" that bring additional conscious thought to choices previously made mindlessly.
The following warning signs are intended in that spirit. If you're trying to get ahead by relying on those little orange pills and you see yourself in any of what follows then, well, it might be time for a rethink about what you are doing, it might be time to reach out for some help getting back on track. Remember: someone who sprints the third mile of the career marathon may have the thrill of temporarily leading the race, but they are unlikely to be among the top finishers.
7 Warning Signs Your Adderall Use Is Out-of-Control
1. You're using it socially
A conclusion emerging from research is that these ADHD stimulant medications are not smart drugs, despite their name and reputation. They are drive drugs. They focus attention and help extend time awake. They boost motivation to do the boring. Therefore, there is no healthy explanation for using them for a social event. None. If you're too tired to make it to that opening take a nap, not a pill. If the event seems insufferably boring then don't go; stop accumulating soporific social obligations. Go read a book or talk a walk or visit with someone you actually do want to see. But taking speed so you can participate in a social event, whether it's crystal meth or Adderall, is a warning sign of a serious problem developing.
2. You use it routinely
Stimulant drugs are not the "new coffee." They are potentially dangerous addictive drugs. You are on your way to a potentially serious problem when use becomes routine practice rather than the result of a conscious decision because of special circumstances. If you no longer go through a conscious risk/reward calculation about whether or not to pop a pill then it's time for a re-think. I'll frequently ask patients how did they decide to use Adderall for this project or deadline. When the only answer is that it's because that's how they always get work done, we know there's a problem.
3. You have pleasurable rituals of (mis)use
I have a thing for my morning cup of coffee. It's not just a hot beverage. It's a ritual, from buying the coffee to grinding beans to filling the french press to that first sip. Sometimes stimulant meds include similar rituals. Instead of being an infrequent tool to marshall attention or stay awake when one's back is against the wall, Adderall becomes a pleasurable ritual in one's life. I once had a patient talk lovingly about his special Adderall pill case. He had rituals for the different dosages in his special container, including rituals for mixing and matching so he would be able to take the exact right amount for the task at hand.
4. You believe your success depends on use
Everyone has a story they tell themselves about who they are. These autobiographical narratives help define our identitues, how our life feels. Sometimes, Adderall-users explain success not with the alchemy of hard-work, talent, and circumstance. Instead, success stories are all about how many milligrams, sometimes including which manufacturer. Success comes from the right drug. In addition to warping the development of one's professional identity, this is also a warning sign that it is time to re-think one's relationship to these drugs.
5. You're afraid not to use it
A big red flag of trouble ahead is when the thought of a grant application, a weekly progress report, or a morning on the trading desk without Adderall on board, or at least at the ready, generates anxiety.
6. You believe everyone else is using it and you need it to compete
Research shows that people who use amphetamines for performance enhancement over-estimate the frequency of use. An extreme version of this is the health-tech entrepreneur in the recent New York Times article who believed all her competitors also used speed and she needed to do it to keep up. This is false. True, a significant minority of people do (mis)use, but not everyone. Sometimes it helps just to ask someone, "are you sure everyone is doing it?" It even helps to encourage them to ask others about their Adderall use and whether others believe everyone is doing it. Anything to spark a moment of self-reflection about the drug is a positive.
7. You keep it private from non-users
Shame can be a huge problem, except when its not, when it helps someone think about what they are doing in a new way. I find that asking people why they don't talk about their Adderall use with friends they know to be non-users often yields a useful spark of shame. I'll often ask, "why do you want to do something you don't feel good about doing?" Sometimes that's enough to also spark the self-reflection from which behavior change emerges.
Did any of this ring a bell? If so, it's time to re-think your relationship with stimulant medications, especially if you started chasing pharmaco-based performance enhancement in school and now find yourself out in the world still relying on those old work habits. Don't ever forget you are now in a decades long career marathon. You've left behind the semester sprints of school days.

CivCity: Rome is an attractive package that hints at a connection with the mega-selling Civilization franchise. Right off, it should be said, there is no game play connection. How could there be, really? This game is a pure city building exercise with more in common to Pharaoh, the Caesar games, Tropico and Sim City than with the epic turn-based, clash-of-civs strategy game.
CivCity: Rome includes a tutorial campaign, some free-form Single Missions in various pre-built terrains and a Map Editor. The files created with the straight-forward Map Editor go right onto the Single Mission menu list, so it's easy to whack up your own map and start a game on it ASAP.
Graphics, of course, are excellent. Audio is perspective-governed, depending on what you're near and how close you are to it; and there's the expected heroic orchestral and choral soundtrack music. All in all, in these areas there's not much more than previous efforts in the ancient city building genre.
The main Campaign introduces concepts as you make your way up the promotion ladder in the service of Caesar. As governor of various provincial towns, you'll build some from scratch and step in to improve others. All the while the in-game messages hint that a shot at the Big Town may be in your future.
Progress is measured by, it soon becomes apparent, the level of lifestyle improvement of your individual citizens, as signified by upgrades to their house, which starts out as a Shack. Housing in an area will improve if it's within walking-distance to goods and amenities. For instance, to make the first jump from a Shack you need well water, and the occupant of the Shack must be able to walk to it. Click on the Shack and a green diameter circle will aid in placing a well. Place the well itself and as soon as the resident walks to it and back home with a jug of water the improvement happens. The Shack becomes a Small Hovel. Add a source of meat in the diameter and the Small Hovel becomes a Medium one. This is the way all the improvements work. You can place an amenity, but until the citizen actually uses it, the improvement is only a potential one. Also, if it's a shop, it must have some of the product it offers on hand.
There is a basic user interface design flaw that should never reach a product in this day and age. The software has no autosave setting that we could find, and on the Game Menu is an Exit button. This button gives no opportunity to back off an inadvertent click. It immediately exits, and you lose all progress since your last manual save. Hopefully this will be corrected in a later version, but in a game where progress is all, losing it all so suddenly is a big discouragement.
Sadly, its similarity to earlier titles and it's somewhat mechanical game play, this one gets a Fans Only for fans of city sims and fans of all things ancient or ancient Roman.

There's more to orthodontics than simply moving teeth. Especially with children and adolescents, we also want to guide the development of the entire facial structure to solve certain types of malocclusions (poor bites).
One such concern involves the upper jaw and palate (roof of the mouth), known collectively as the maxilla. In some individuals, the maxilla is narrower than normal. This causes the upper teeth to fit abnormally inside the lower teeth when occluding or "biting down" and is known as a cross-bite. A cross-bite may restrict the amount of space for your teeth to erupt (appear in the mouth) in proper alignment. It can be so severe the individual may have to shift the jaw to one side to completely bite down.
If a cross-bite is caught early, there's a non-surgical treatment to widen the maxilla and help prevent upper teeth misalignment. But there's a limited time window of opportunity: this is because the maxilla is actually formed by two bones with a seam that runs down the middle of the palate. The two bones will eventually fuse, usually at the beginning of puberty; until then there's a slight separation.
Before the bones fuse, we can use a palatal expander to widen this seam and encourage permanent bone growth in the resulting gap. The expander is made of two metal halves joined in the middle by a small screw device that fits between the teeth. You or your child turns the screw a very small amount once or twice a day with a special key and the action pushes the maxilla outward on either side: the slight tension created stimulates bone growth. Over time, the new bone will have added width to the maxilla and eliminated the cross-bite.
While it's possible to correct this after the maxilla fuses, it will require surgery to separate the bones. The palatal expander helps us correct the problem in the most non-invasive way possible, but it must be done before puberty. Discovering this type of malocclusion early is one of many reasons why regular dental visits should be an important part of your child's healthcare.
If you would like more information on palatal extenders, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Palatal Expanders."
For some kids, having a cavity or two is just part of growing up. Not for Giuliana Rancic. When she was a child, the TV personality didn't have a single cavity — and she still doesn't. But for her husband Bill, co-star of the Style Network reality show Giuliana and Bill, it was a different story. A cavity-prone kid, he was never certain what a visit to the dentist might hold in store. "I can still remember the anticipation," he recently told Dear Doctor magazine. "I always hoped I would get out of the checkups without a cavity!"
Why do some people get more cavities than others? There are a number of factors at work, but to understand it better, let's look at how tooth decay occurs.
How Cavities Form
Cavities — also called dental caries — are small pits or holes in the teeth that are caused by tooth decay. Tooth decay itself is a chronic disease that can flare up when plaque isn't kept under control. A thin, bacteria-laden film, plaque sticks to tooth surfaces both above and below the gum line, and can build up in the absence of effective oral hygiene.
Of course, everyone has bacteria in their mouth, both "good" and "bad" (pathogenic) types. But when the bad guys outnumber the good, trouble can start. When you consume sweets, plaque bacteria process the sugars and release acid as a byproduct. The acid eats into tooth surfaces, causing decay — and cavities that need filling. Left untreated, decay can work its way into the tooth's pulp, resulting in infection and pain. Eventually, treatment might involve a root canal — or, in the worst case, extraction.
What can you do if you seem to be prone to cavities? One effective way to fight tooth decay is by maintaining good oral hygiene. Brush at least twice daily, for at least two minutes each time. Use a soft-bristled brush and a dab of fluoride toothpaste to clean all around your teeth. Most importantly, floss above and below the gum line, every day. And just as important, don't forget to have regular dental checkups every six months.
A Healthy Balance
Another cavity-fighting strategy is eating a balanced diet. Avoid soda, sugary "energy" drinks and sweet treats — but if you choose to consume sugar, have it with meals instead of between meals. This will give your saliva, which has natural cavity-fighting properties, a chance to work.
"It's all about maintaining a healthy balance," Giuliana told Dear Doctor. And Bill agrees: "I love nuts and fruit for a healthy snack," he said, adding that he's meticulous about brushing and flossing. And when the couple smiles, you can see how those healthy habits pay off.
If you would like more information on preventing tooth decay, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more about this topic in the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Tooth Decay" and "Tooth Decay – How To Assess Your Risk."

Whenever we see penguins, it will be either floating in the water or sliding with their bellies. Naturally a question will come in our mind, regardless of whether penguin is a bird or fish. We have to describe penguin as a type of flightless bird that devote key aspect of its life in the sea. That is the explanation why advertisers use penguins as their models in advertisements associated to cooling equipments.
Some of the body options that support the bird to adapt to the aquatic life-style in the sea are its wings, feet and tail. The wings of penguins are just like airplane wings and are known as flippers. They use flippers to propel by way of water and at that time penguin got an look of a bird flying in the water. Meanwhile, penguin's feet are web shaped and incredibly quick, so they can move in the water quite swiftly. The game they play in the ice is called tobogganing. They use its feet and flippers for this, which will enable them to move swiftly and glide smoothly more than the ice applying their belly.

They appear just like a man wearing a dark coat, as their back portion is black, though bellies are white. The prime layer of a penguin's skin got thick layers of stiff feathers and this assists it to really feel warm, even they are gliding by way of ice covered mountains. Just like peacocks, penguins also go by way of molting course of action, exactly where they shed their feathers and grow new ones. They even got an oil secreting gland above their tail that aids it to make its outer thick coat extra wind proof and water proof.
Most of these elfin creatures are identified in the southern hemisphere.
Primarily based on their size, colour, habits and habitats practically seventeen penguin species are identified in the globe. Amongst them, Emperor penguins are the largest and they will have a black cap, blue-grey neck, orange colored patch on the ear and yellow breasts. Meanwhile, the most prevalent penguin in Antarctica is the king penguin and is regarded as the second biggest one in that area. Some other penguin varieties are Galapagos penguin, Adelie penguin,Chinstrap penguin, Gentoo penguin, Rockhopper penguin and Macaroni penguin.
Though movies based on penguins are pretty uncommon, 'Happy Feet' is a very good movie to watch in a digital tv powered by Dish Tv. The story is primarily based on a small penguin named Mumble, who got an incredible talent for tap dancing. All emperor penguins are supposed to have a heart song to express their correct like in their country. But poor Mumble got a terrible voice and that turn into a problem for it to obtain its true really like. As it does not have a heart song it became an unacceptable bird in his neighborhood. The film got a good clapping from youngsters about the globe.

Not too long ago a container ship Rena was grounded on a reef on Mount Maunganui beach in New Zealand and the oil spilled from it affected some 360 birds living there, such as nearly 40 penguins. Wildlife rescuers did a wonderful job there by cleaning and scrubbing these penguins and releasing it to its beach habitat soon after clearing the oil coat. Most of these elfin creatures are found in the southern hemisphere. The Galapagos penguins can be located in the Galapagos Islands, even though certain other species can be noticed in the islands near New Zealand and Australia, the coast of South America and the icy waters close to Antarctica.
Whenever we see penguins, it will be either floating in the water or sliding with their bellies. Naturally a question will come in our mind, whether penguin is a bird or fish. We have to describe penguin as a kind of flightless bird that invest key portion of its life in the sea.

Ever wanted to rename your OS to something else, or distinguish between two OS during dual boot easier? Well here is one of the ways to rename your OS. Open up a command prompt by hitting "Windows + R" to bring up the "Run" prompt box. Now type "cmd" to bring up the command prompt.
For this to work, you must be on the OS that you want to change the name for. In the command prompt enter this (without quotation marks)":
"bcdedit /set {current} description "Win 7 x64"
This is essentially saying, set the current OS that you are on and rename it to Win 7 x64. So once you confirm the name you wish to give and reboot, you will see the difference. For example, if you have two OS, one Windows 7 and another Windows 7, you will now see:
Win 7 x64

Adapting Road Procurement to Climate Conditions
23 Pages Posted: 20 Apr 2016
Date Written: April 1, 2012
The world's climate is changing. It is well recognized that technical standards and project specifications of public infrastructure have to be adjusted, depending on the climate. However, it is less recognized that the public infrastructure procurement also needs to be adjusted. This paper examines a particular case of rural road procurement in Nepal. Severe weather conditions, such as heavy rains and storms, are likely to interrupt civil works and wash away unpaved or gravel roads. It is found that heavy precipitation causes delays, but not cost overruns. The paper also shows that budgetary efficiency and credibility could be improved by taking climate conditions into account. If future precipitation were anticipated by backward-looking expectations, many large project delays could be avoided. If the autoregressive precipitation model were used, the vast majority of the observed delays could be eliminated.

Today in Alt-SPU grand opening of the II Russian-Indian Youth Forum took place. In the II Russian-Indian Youth Forum, more than 350 representatives of the youth of Russia and India at the age of 18 to 35 years of different activities will take part. The program of the forum includes work in three areas: cultural cooperation, youth tourism and entrepreneurship. The forum will form a general strategy for cooperation in these three areas.
The participants of the forum were greeted by the Rector of the University Irina Rudolfovna Lazarenko. "This year our countries celebrate 70 years from the moment of establishment of diplomatic relations. There is an increase in trade turnover between Russia and India and expansion of cultural exchange.The following year is designated as a cross-year tourism of Russia and India. In this context our forum acquires particular urgency" , – said the rector of the university.
With welcoming words, the Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Altai Territory, Andrei Evgenievich Shchukin, addressed the audience. He wished the participants "to develop horizontal links on all the sectors identified in the tasks of the forum."
Denoting already existing areas of cooperation in the field of education between Indian universities and higher educational institutions of the Altai Territory, the Minister of Education and Science of the Altai Territory Alexander Zhidkikh wished the participants of the forum successful work.
The Russian Youth Union is the outpost through which the establishment of connections between the youth of Russia and the community of the BRICS countries, which includes India, is also taking place. "Youth organization" BRICS International Form was established with the assistance of RUY in 2015 at the Russian-Indian forum. I am sure that the Forum in the Altai State Pedagogical University will be another starting point in expanding the relationship between Russia and India, "said Tatyana Seliverstova, deputy chairman of the All-Russian Public Organization" Russian Union of Youth "(Moscow).

When I was younger I just refused to go into these places cos I figured arrogantly that they were staffed by banjo playing yokels who would get off by sending you 100s of kilometres out of your way to a place that still wouldn't have a loo, but age has its perks and wisdom might have to be one of the biggies.
It was a big drive yesterday from Robe to Port Campbell.
We had found the Robe accommodation as we drove in and even though we immediately disliked LOIS with the 'I'm Responsible' badge we checked in and parted with too much cash because we were keen to get out and about and have a look at this lovely wee place, and lovely and wee it truly is.
The Big Yellow I gave us a map and told us everywhere was wonderful, the accomm was all wonderful and the food everywhere, yep, everywhere, even that manky smelling takeaway place was wonderful. Sometimes the Big Yellow I people are just a little too parochial, but they always have good maps.
So where we stayed in Robe I would not recommend, but more of that in a later post.
The point was, that we were under prepared so I chewed into my Mobile data while we bumped along towards the Great Ocean Road, to find somewhere to stay in Port Campbell for a couple of nights. I had already done quite a lot of research before we left the Goldie so I had a list of places and phone numbers, but I did a bit of checking first. I rang a few people and bugger me it seemed that the whole of this village was booked out - of course it's a long weekend - great to remember the ANZACs of course, but not so wonderful if you are trying to find somewhere clean and tidy to rest your head.
I ended up ringing one of the places I had found online, only to be told by SUE, that I would have to book it online cos she didn't take bookings over the phone....SHIT. It's a bit tricky punching in info and card numbers while you bounce along, but punch I did and we were all sorted.
The Big Yellow I beckoned us as we got to town and we popped in to get a map and some directions to our little home away from home. I clocked that our guide did a bit of a double take as she handed us the map and circled stuff and then found a brochure and told us everywhere was wonderful, but I wondered if she might have just had a little palsy.
Off we trotted to our hand built A frame place. It was a little out of town, not great, it didn't seem too far on the map, but what was really not too great was that it was up an almost vertical dirt goat track and when we got there we really were looking out for the banjos.
There was a little parking but it had mostly been taken up by vehicles that looked as if they had not seen action since perhaps some of our oldest Anzacs parked up many moons ago. It was oddly silent. There was a hand written sign saying to call SUE. She said to let ourselves into the cabin down the the hill aways, so we did.
Well fuck me!! I thought I was not all that fussy, well ok actually I am aware that I am pretty fussy, but I thought I was at least reasonably shock proof! This place was truly fucking awful! I mean I suppose if I had built every bit of it by the sweat of my own brow I might have looked on it fondly, but as a stranger wandering in from the big smoke, well I wanted at least for it to be clean and the bedding to be clean! One of the beds was still unmade and the mattress protector, well let's just say it had done it's job, and then some, about 100 years ago and had earned a long a prosperous retirement, just not on any bed I planned to rest my head. OOOh Yukky. There was newspaper stuffed into the roof boards and Steve couldn't work out what it was there for cos it couldn't have been water proof. Anyway to say we were underwhelmed might well be the understatement of the holiday! But SUE had our 350 bucks and I was beside myself in not wanting to stay, so Stevie took a deep breath and put on his very best polite English and managed to talk her into giving us our cash back, but he did truly have to suck it up as she told him she didn't think we sounded like the sort of people who should stay at her place, and she thought that was a insult!! We took it as high praise, and tootled off back into town where we found a clean tidy place across form the pub. Bliss!
So now we are off to Lorne today via the 12 Apostles which I can hardly wait to see.
We haven't got anywhere to sleep sorted and our methods to date have been unsuccessful, but onward and upward and we'll keep a little look out for the Big Yellow I and maybe ask specific questions, like, 'Is this place fit for human habitation?'

I can't recall if this happens in any of the other series, but in Voyager I've noticed that lighting on the bridge (and, perhaps, other parts of the ship as well) dims whenever Red Alert is called. Why is this?
Common sense would dictate that low light conditions are a safety hazard as well as an eye strain. Sure, this may be somewhat acceptable when you want the ship to simulate a day/night cycle for the sake of crew comfort (as I can recall seeing once or twice in TNG). However, I do not think it would be sensible for this to be the chosen configuration during times when the crew needs to be functioning at peak efficiency.
If anything, I would expect that the ship's interior should be switched to maximum comfortable illumination levels during Red Alert - not minimal. I expect the out-of-universe explanation is that this is for dramatic effect, but is this otherwise justified or justifiable from an in-universe perspective?

The end goal of any good market research project is easy: garner actionable insights that can advise successful business decisions. Getting there is the hard part. Researchers must have high respondent completion and response rates and, in order to get the right data, the respondent must be engaged. This piece of the puzzle can sometimes fit perfectly in place when appealing to the respondent with just the right incentive. Having the right incentive, at the right time, can have a huge positive impact on engagement, response and appeal.
In the past, many research companies relied on one type of reward for research respondents. Many times, the same reward over and over causes target audiences to lose interest. In addition, as companies expand and possibly shift product offerings across multiple consumer and business audiences, a single type of reward loses its panache.
There are many ways that companies can create better experiences for research participants through the use of incentives. Some things to keep in mind when creating an incentive program include:
- Choice: Make the reward compelling by offering respondents a myriad of reward types to fit their lifestyle and needs. A single reward type can result not only in additional hard costs as companies try to motivate respondents with increasingly large rewards, but could also bias results and adversely affect data.
- Immediacy: Create an instant reward delivery platform so respondents don't have to wait for their incentive. Having an automatic streamlined delivery process can free up time for turning research data into actionable insights and take less time troubleshooting incentives.
- Partner Technology: Consider using an integrated API (application program interface) that allows the automatic delivery and fulfillment of rewards. By creating the right partnership with a company that specializes in incentive delivery, one-click can accomplish a complete solution.
- Customization: Not all market research is created equal. It's important to make sure that each incentive program fits the client, the study, the desired sample and more. Thinking ahead with careful planning can help with developing creative new ideas for incentive fulfillment and types of offerings. This approach promises to bolster the upward trend in quality response rates and keep panelists continually engaged.
Matt Thurston, COO of icanmakeitbetter, recently partnered with incentive solution company Virtual Incentives for his company's respondent rewards program. Thurston stated, "As we expanded we worried that a single reward type could cause response rates to become stagnant. By working with a company that specializes in incentives we were able to get creative, develop new products and make a streamlined reward process. For us, this has increased response rates and saved our staff and our clients' time."
Thurston stated that in the year icanmakeitbetter has been working on providing incentives through this new partnership, he's seen response rates improve considerably and membership attrition rates cut in half. This equals a high rate of return for his clients and, in the end, gives a more complete data picture.

If your child is hoping to join a fraternity or sorority this year, they're more likely to be around drugs and alcohol than if they didn't become part of Greek life. They may start out "just" drinking, but excessive drinking often leads to taking drugs and doing other risky things a young person would never consider while sober.
College students in sororities and fraternities are more likely to use drugs, binge drink and engage in other high-risk behavior than their "non-Greek" peers. However, young men in fraternities are more likely to do so than sorority women. Often, the level of peer pressure is higher. White college men are most at risk, statistically, of engaging in dangerous drug and alcohol use and having substance abuse problems.
What is it about Greek life that makes it a potential breeding ground for drug and alcohol abuse? There are several key factors:
Hazing rituals
Fraternities and sororities usually have some type of initiation ritual for new members. Hazing, in particular, often involves forcing new pledges to drink dangerous amounts of alcohol or engage in other risky activities. There have been a number of high-profile fraternity hazing deaths in recent years.
Peer pressure
Kids join fraternities and sororities because they want to belong to a group. This can make them vulnerable to doing what the leaders tell them to do or to join in behavior like using drugs and drinking to show that they belong. If they live in a fraternity or sorority house, it's harder to escape that pressure. Moreover, the people in charge of these houses are kids themselves and may not be the best role models.
Lack of discipline by college administrators
Too often, colleges give fraternities and sororities a wide berth when it comes to social activities. These groups can bring considerable money and prestige to a school. Therefore, they may look the other way when they should be exercising discipline.
Local law enforcement officials may not be so lenient if they catch a college student using or possessing illegal drugs or even prescription drugs that don't belong to them. A conviction for a drug-related crime can derail a young person's college education and follow them well past college. If your son or daughter has been charged with a drug crime, it's essential not to let them go through the legal system alone.

The Newport Charter Yacht Show was held in late June, and its annual chefs' competition focused on desserts. Here's a look at the winners, all of whom are aboard yachts available for bookings in New England this summer.
First prize went to Chef Carolina Velandia of the 198-foot Feadship motoryacht Blue Moon. She cooked a picante São Tomé chocolate tofu mousse that was lactose- and gluten-free, served with passionfruit curd and a Moscato jelly cubes.
Second prize went to Chef Terry Gatewood of the 123-foot Palmer Johnson motoryacht Temptation. He prepared a lemon blueberry posset.
Third prize went to Chef Gaylinn Fast of the 120-foot Feadship motoryacht Lady Victoria. She created a dish inspired by Maine's Acadian woodland trails that looked like a terrarium and included a yogurt panna cotta base, chocolate biscotti "dirt," green snickerdoodle "moss" and merengue "mushrooms."
All of these charter yachts and more are available for bookings this summer in New England. Any reputable charter broker can help you book a week on board.

Anne & Alexis
I had the pleasure of working with Anne & Alexis to create a gluten-free dessert table for their wedding at Brooklyn Winery this past Spring. The table was filled with chocolate chunk cookies, blackberry filled macaroons and caramel marshmallows with a pecan praline. A simple, yet chic chevron inspired cake stood amongst the delectable table.
Congratulations Anne & Alexis!

Different Types of Blades Available for your FanSunday 8th April 2012 10:59am
All ceiling fans work the same way, right? This is actually not correct. Ceiling fans come in a wide variety of types, and depending on the type of blade you have installed on your fan you can achieve different results for different environments.
A common mistake that fan owners make is that they assume that any blades can be installed on their existing fans. Although the mounting brackets are the same in many cases, the weight of the blades used can play a big role in how well the fan performs post-blade installation. Because the motors in ceiling fans are designed to spin the pre-installed blades at a particular speed, installing heavier or lighter blades on the fan will result in a change of speed. In the case of metal blade ceiling fans, exchanging cloth or timber blades for worn out metal blades can lead to motor overheating and too high of an RPM on the new blades.
Timber Blades: Timber is used in the manufacturing of ceiling fans because of its rigidity and long life span. Woods like mahogany, oak, and pine are common building materials for timber blades. Many times processed wood is infused with plastics to make a sturdier blade that won't warp because of the moisture found in the air.
Metal Blades: Metal blade ceiling fans are among the most durable ceiling fans found on the market. They offer superior performance by being able to cut through the air with little resistance, but usually require a higher powered motor to operate. To create a shine on metal blades, manufacturers apply multiple thin coats of metal coating to the blades during the manufacturing process.
Plastic Blades: Unlike timber and metal blades, plastic blades are often very easy to clean. With dishwasher safe plastic blades becoming increasingly popular, it's very easy to unhook your fan blades and place them in your dishwasher to remove all of the dirt and dust that has accumulated on them over the years.
Cloth Blades: Although they provide the same cooling power as the blade types listed above, cloth fans are most often used to add a nicer aesthetic to a room. Cloth blades are better suited for small rooms, as their blades are often smaller than those of a metal blade ceiling fan. Cloth fans are harder to clean than other blade types, but can be wiped down with a damp cloth to remove surface dust.
So, next time you go shopping for your next fan, be sure to think of all the options available, and weigh them all up to consider which type of fan blade would be best suited to your needs and climate.

We ca argue again and again on what is the perfect "wide" angle of view but many of us will agree that 12mm (24mm equivalent in 35mm film format) is one of the most appealing focal length to work with.
|Zuiko M.12mm F2.0
|Zuiko M.12-50mm F3.5-6.3
These two fine Olympus Zuiko Lenses are very good choice to start experimenting the 12mm focal length .
The12mm is certainly an true urban lens that allows photograph to be close from his subject. It is also a real contextual lens in term of the extra angle of view available. It may be the widest lens that you can easily apprehend the final result without doing testing during your photo shot.
With such a wide angle we are able to control the impact of your foreground and background subjects by creating a more dynamic composition. The notion of space arrangement is giving a true 3D perspective to the observer.
Because wide angle lenses are "decompressing" the final image using them is demanding a more careful attention to its composition. It also add some kind of disproportion of near subject opposed to far context. That could be use as a creative tool.
Wide angle lens are by essence very close action lenses compared to their telephoto brothers. But it doesn't prevent to do action imagery if you are able to position yourself to do so.
Although many people are recommending wide angle lenses for architectural work the use of the M.12mm may be tricky considering the fact that this model of lens doesn't have any provision for tilt and shift correction. Yes it can be use successfully to exaggerate perspective for instance but it cannot pretend to present objectively to work of the designer.
Playing (i.e. working) with the M.12mm is very interesting because it will ask the photograph to learn to anticipate a different perspective and the results will represent a different view of our surrounding world.

My husband and I knew we had to getaway for a while, regroup and reconnect. When you have two young kids it can be hard on a marriage. However, living on one income can be hard too. As a stay at home mom, I knew that if we were going to be able to afford to getaway together we would have to get creative with our budget. Here are few ways you can set a little money aside every week for a special couple's getaway with your main squeeze.
This is a great way to score cash back on things you already purchase. I can score cash back on buy items like carrots, yogurt and toilet paper. All I have to do is scan my receipt! I can cash it out with PayPal. (Receive $10 by just entering the code: vvdvhqi)
Donating Plasma
This is something that we used to do back in college, for "book" money. However, it still is a simple fast way to make extra cash. All you have to do is pass a simple physical and your set. They pay anywhere from $60-80 a week for you to come in and donate. You can sit there for an hour watching tv, working, or reading. It's just like donating blood, but easier.
Just Between Friend's Sale
There is cash in your closets, literally. I love to clean out our closets and get rid of all of those kids clothes they have out grown. The best part, is that you can sell them at the Just Between Friends Sales. All I have to do is price and drop it off! They mail me a check a few weeks later. I just sold two totes of kid's clothes that they no longer fit into and I made $180 from it!
We Pack Ahead- No Drive Through
We never use the drive thru, even when we are out with the kids running errands. We always pack plenty of snacks, and water. If we are going to be out shopping, at the park, or driving around near meal time. I pack their lunch boxes with a meal. They love having a picnic in the back of the car, and it saves us some major cash!
Grocery Budget And Stick To It
Every week I have a set amount of money to use towards groceries and that is it! Some weeks the chips and Diet Coke get put back because we are over budget. That is just the way it is. It has been kind of a game how low we can get the grocery budget every week. (click here for some easy and cheap family friendly meal ideas). Meal planning and food budgeting is hard, trust me I get it. It takes some scarifies and it takes time to prepare meals. However, the cash reward is totally worth it.
Book It Cheap!
There are a ton of last minute travel deals. You can book a weekend getaway super cheap if you book it last minute and you are open to destinations. Check out sites like Groupon or Expedia for great travel deals!

Just a reminder that if you want to see the finished version of the film, it will be playing tomorrow, Friday, September 16th, at 7:00 at the Plaza Theatre in Kensington, as part of Resonant Frequencies, Emmedia's 2011 Production Access Screening.
Unfortunately, I won't be there, as I am currently doing the Gushul Residency in the Crowsnest Pass (which is pretty AWESOME), and don't have a vehicle, so…. I'm staying here. If you do happen to go to the screening, please let me know how it went! I'm sorry I'm going to miss it!
Here is a short clip of the film (which I believe I have posted before…). Enjoy!

Muscle God, Michael Roman stands blindfolded and angry, trapped on top of a wooden platform. His arms and legs have been tied to the wall with black rope. He struggles to get free as Cesar Xes walks up and starts to tease the captive muscle monster. Cesar pinches Roman's nipples and plays with his cock, rubbing on the outside of his leather jock. Roman tells Cesar that if he ever gets free, he's gonna get him back good. Cesar laughs it off and gets on his knees and sucks Roman's cock. After Cesar has his way with Mr. Roman, he goes off to get some water to drink. Just as Cesar turns his back to take a sip of water, Roman wriggles out of his restraints, sneaks up on Cesar and grabs him with his strong arms. Roman lifts Cesar in the air by his neck and puts him over his shoulder and spanks his ass hard multiple times. He puts Cesar on his knees and fucks his mouth with his hard cock. In the next scene, Roman has Cesar's body fully suspended with a web of black rope. Roman gets his leather flogger and hits Cesar all over his body turning his skin pink. Next, Roman bends Cesar over and shoves his big hard cock in his ass. He pounds Cesar's ass deep and hard while in a full suspension and Cesar loves every inch of it. Roman lowers Cesar to the ground and puts a spider-gag in his mouth, followed by his cock. He sticks his leather gloved hand inside Cesar's mouth and Cesar licks it. Roman removes the gag and jerks Cesar's dick, making Cesar blow a huge load all over his own body. Roman takes off one of his gloves, shoves it in Cesar's mouth, and cums on his face.
Sexy fucker Cesar Xes thinks he's on a simple hookup date with Chance Summerlin. But it turns into an intense, 3-way edge session when Sebastian Keys crashes the party. They tie Cesar up in a standing position, blindfold him and bind his hands behind his back so they can get at every inch of him. Chance teases his big hard cock through is underwear before unleashing it, letting his fat meat swing straight out. Chance and Sebastian take turns deep throating Cesar's huge dick, taking him right to the edge repeatedly. They then use a jack off toy on him, keeping that big dick rock hard and so damn close to cumming. They spin him around and fuck his ass with a dick on a stick, while jerking his cock at the same time. Still blindfolded, Cesar can't see a damn thing. He can only feel his ass getting fucked and his cock getting worked to the edge. He's then tied down to a busted up old couch, with his arms above his head, his mouth gagged and his legs spread. Chance and Sebastian suck his sweet cock and use a vibrator toy on him, driving him crazy and making him almost blow his load again and again. Chance worships his feet while Sebastian continues on his cock, then Chance jerks and sucks him. When Cesar finally cums, his load explodes out of his cock until he's soaked in his own hot seed.
New meat Cesar Xes arrives late to petition to serve the House. Leather Top Sebastian Keys is unimpressed with this slave's tardiness, but as Cesar strips, revealing a hard body and nice cock, Sebastian decides to give Cesar a chance. Cesar prostrates himself before the throne. Sebastian inspects his body and smacks him with a long leather paddle. Upon command, Cesar flips over, revealing beautiful cock. Sebastian sucks on Cesar's cock, and continues to paddle him all over, until his skin is a nice deep red. Then Sebastian lets Cesar worship his leather and smell his sweaty balls, before having him lick his asshole to prove his dedication. Next, Cesar is bound upside down, his mouth at the perfect dick-sucking height. After making Cesar suck his cock, Sebastian flogs Cesar all over his chest, stomach, and dick. Cesar twitches and moans with every hit. Then Sebastian uses Cesar's wet warm mouth. He thrusts his cock in and out of Cesar's hole and edges Cesar right until Cesar is ready to cum. But he's not allowed, not yet. Finally, Cesar is tied with mouth gagged, his legs spread and hole exposed. An electrified cock ring sends current through his aching throbbing cock. Sebastian breaks out the violet wand and runs it along Cesar's thighs and ass. Cesar shakes with every shock, whimpering and drooling around his gag. His ass twitches as Sebastian pushes the violet wand inside his asshole. Sebastian fucks this slave's ass with electricity and discovers this whore is an electroslut. Cesar loves getting shocked in his ass, and moans as the violet wand slides in and out of his tight hole. Now that his ass is warmed up, Sebastian slips his own cock into Cesar's tight ass. He pounds Cesar's hole relentlessly while stroking Cesar to orgasm. Cesar cums hard, and gets to worship Sebastian's leather and cock again. Sebastian uses Cesar's mouth before blowing his load all over Cesar's face. Initiation complete, Cesar crawls off into the darkness until he can be of use again.

Arianna: the final stretchOctober 8, 2009
I have only five weeks left in the semester and it is quite hard to believe time has flew by so quickly. In these remaining weeks, I have over 5,000 words of essays to write, final exams to take, as well as a whole website to design. A part of me is having a mini spazz attack at all I have to complete, but deep down I know I will get it done and it will all work out fine. The hectic schedule will probably benefit me in the long run, as I know the weeks are going to fly past and before I know it I will be stepping off the plane in the Minneapolis airport, trading my flip-flops for my beloved black Uggs (guilty pleasure) and wrapping up in my winter coat. I am so excited to go back to the States, but at the same time, I am enjoying every second of these last few weeks. I may never pass this way again, and I want to make the most of the time I have left with these people that have turned from strangers to friends, with the land that has transformed from foreign to familiar, with the four walls surrounding me that have become home. It really is a strange thing, but I am trying not to waste too much time thinking about it right now and just "being" in it.

The British public were invited Friday to share Margaret Thatcher's "secret passion" for fashion ahead of a sale of clothes worn by the former premier known as the 'Iron Lady'.
London's Christie's auction house will put the clothes under the hammer on Tuesday. It is also selling 200 personal items belonging to Britain's only female premier, in an online auction that runs until Wednesday.
The lots, owned by Thatcher's family, could fetch a combined total of around 500,000 pounds (760,000 US dollars , 700,000 euros), Orlando Rock, president of Christie's UK, told AFP.
The auction house is used to dealing with works of art that regularly sell for more than ten times that amount. "It is quite unusual for us that the vast majority of lots are affordable to a very, very large number of people," said Rock.
Some of the most famous items, including the dresses she wore when first meeting Nelson Mandela and when dancing with Ronald Reagan, went on public display at Christie's on Friday. The auctioneer said the collection would give "unique insights into the 'Iron Lady'."
Fashion diplomacy
"She had a secret passion for clothes," curator Meredith Etherington-Smith said of Thatcher, a dressmaker's daughter born Margaret Hilda Roberts in Grantham, central England, in 1925. "From a very young age, she and her sister used to make clothes," she added.
"When she became the first woman prime minister she used clothes as a way of emphasising her power. "Every time there was a photo opportunity, she was beautifully dressed, immaculately coiffured, with a nice handbag, and she looked what she was: a powerful person."
Historic lots include the blue suit she wore in a 1990 parliament debate on the expansion of the European Monetary Union, in which she uttered the now immortal line: "No. No. No."
Thatcher went to great lengths to ensure she wore colours appropriate to any country she was visiting -- green, a symbol of hope, in Poland, and blue and cream in Israel to mirror the country's flag. "It was all very carefully thought-out," said Etherington-Smith. "At her party conferences, she always wore a very sharp blue suit," the colour of her Conservative Party.
"She never wore red in the UK because that's the colour of socialism but she did wear it in America because that's the colour of Ronald Reagan's Republican party," the curator said.
Feared handbags
Her "special relationship" with US president and fellow free-market reformer Reagan is a focal point of the collection. Items include a statue of a bald eagle, the symbol of the United States that Reagan gave her as a gift, which is expected to sell for between 5,000 pounds and 8,000 pounds.
One of the most emblematic pieces is the iconic red leather briefcase that contained the prime minister's confidential documents, which is expected to fetch between 3,000 pounds and 5,000 pounds .
Other items include signed copies of some of her most famous speeches, her wedding dress, her handbags -- which used to strike fear into colleagues during cabinet meetings -- and jewellery.
The items, proceeds of which will go to her children and grandchildren, were initially offered to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the world's largest museum of decorative arts and design, but they decided against showing them.
Thatcher was in power from 1979 to 1990. Her privatisations and deregulation helped turn around Britain's ailing economy. But she remains a divisive figure, particularly in Britain's hard-hit working-class heartlands.
She died on April 8, 2013, and received a ceremonial funeral attended by Queen Elizabeth II. (Edouard Guihare, AFP)

The availability of testing and training backup software
I'm a technical consultant at a distributor in Austria and I'm looking for a piece of software. I don't know whether software even exists for intensive testing and training for backup software (BackupExec, Legato, etc.). It would be great to SIMULATE a tape library with software. Big libraries with several tape drives are not willingly given to us for testing equipment so we have no chance to learn what the software does with a library.
There are such products (e.g. Alacritus) but I don't think they're generally available yet and if they are, they would cost as much if not more than the tape library. If you ask me this question in six months or so, the answer will be very different.
Editor's note: Do you agree with this expert's response? If you have more to share, post it in one of our .bphAaR2qhqA^0@/searchstorage>discussion forums.

Robin Hood is Coming in May of 2010
Source: Universal Pictures
March 11, 2009
Russel Crowe is Robin Hood?!!!
Universal Pictures has scheduled a May 14, 2010 release for director Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett.
The other releases scheduled for May of 2010 so far are Iron Man 2 (May 7), Shrek Goes Fourth (May 21) and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (May 28) - so there's no direct competition for these four films yet.
Crowe plays Robin of Loxley in an origin story of Robin Hood that hews close to historical facts of the period. Abandoned as a child, he finds community with the common people of Nottingham. Robin's abandonment and trust issues hamper his ability to fall in love. He meets his match in Marian (Blanchett), a strong, independent woman.

A year ago Yemen joined the ranks of the world's liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters, launching a two-train liquefaction terminal at the port of Balhaf. The 6.7mn tonne per annum (tpa) plant is significantly diversifying the country's industrial base, commercialising a valuable natural resource that until then had been flared, re-injected into oil fields, or simply left in the ground.
Moreover, given the strong economies of scale accompanying liquefaction projects, the Yemen LNG (YLNG) terminal could easily be expanded in the future should the economic and geological conditions prove favourable. Most of the expansion debate until now has concentrated on the supply factors, citing Yemen's limited known reserves base.
Proven gas reserves in Yemen have been put at 490bcm at end-2009 by the BP Statistical Review. At end-2010, remaining commercial reserves at the Marib-Jawf contract area, which provides all of YLNG's gas feedstock, are expected to be 283bn cubic metres (bcm) or 10trn cubic feet. Yet assuming full capacity utilisation from 2012, in its present size YLNG will only need 223bcm of reserves over its lifespan to 2033. Greater exploration activity and/or commercialisation of known associated gas deposits at oil fields clearly provide scope for additional trains at the terminal.
The gas supply projections for YLNG need to be counterbalanced with the demand outlook. After all, secure and lucrative markets for Yemeni LNG will encourage gas exploration, providing the reserve backbone for additional trains. In its comprehensive 2007 report on Yemen's gas industry, the World Bank estimated the total gross revenues from the two-train YLNG terminal at between $27.5bn and $39bn, based on different price assumptions in the project's two original markets – the US and South Korea. This $11.5bn difference in revenues will largely determine whether the new trains are built or not.
Since the YLNG consortium decided to go ahead with the project in 2005, the outlook for global LNG demand has darkened. The biggest game-changer has been the rise of unconventional gas production, which has altered the competitive landscape in the two main LNG markets – the Atlantic Basin comprising the Americas and Europe and, to a lesser extent, the Pacific Basin serving Asia.
Shale Shock
In the Atlantic Basin, the well-documented shale boom in the US had propelled the country to the status of the world's largest gas producer in 2009. As a result, strong growth in US gas imports, which was expected to absorb cargoes from new LNG producers such as Yemen, Peru and Russia has not materialised. In 2009, the US imported just 12bcm of LNG, well below the 2007 high of 22bcm.
Although volumes are expected to recover by 2012-2013 on the back of stronger economic growth and clean energy policies, the stellar upward gas import trajectory envisioned by analysts as late as last year has been severely flattened. The largest US LNG import terminal, the Sabine Pass plant in Louisiana, has recently received approval to export gas, turning upside down all assumptions regarding North American LNG market. Even if the economics of shale drilling prove overoptimistic, gas pipeline projects from Alaska and Canada's Northwest Territories remain on the table to provide a boost of supplies to the main North American consuming regions.
At end-2009, total regasification capacity in the US stood at 117bcm, representing average utilisation rate of just 10%. The world's largest gas consuming country has clearly become a buyer's market. LNG prices have consequently fallen. The nine cargoes of Yemeni LNG sold so far this year in the US by project partners Total and GDF Suez fetched an average of just $4.50 per million British Thermal Units (mn BTU), according to Bloomberg data.
In comparison, Japan, which relies almost exclusively on LNG for its gas needs, has paid an average of US$11.2/mn BTU in 2010. Moreover, the situation is unlikely to improve in the foreseeable future. Most forecasting agencies are predicting that the Henry Hub benchmark price, which determines US LNG prices, will fluctuate in the weak US$4-5/mn BTU range in the coming years.
Club Med
LNG demand in Europe, the second branch of the Atlantic Basin market, is also uncertain. Gas demand among LNG consumers such as Spain, Greece, Portugal and the UK remains weak owing to ongoing economic difficulties, while in the stronger northern European markets LNG faces tough competition from Russian and Norwegian piped gas. Middle Eastern LNG currently sells in Western Europe for $6-8/mn BTU.
Early-stage shale drilling in Central Europe and massive new pipelines that Russia is planning to build from its Arctic fields should be a concern for YLNG. The outlook for Yemeni gas on the European market as a whole, however, is not as gloomy as might at first appear.
According to Russian investment bank Troika Dialogue, 70% of the new European regasification capacity currently under construction is located in the Mediterranean or the UK, markets that will be relatively little effected by an influx of fresh gas supplies to Europe from the Barents Sea or the Yamal peninsula. YLNG's proximity to the Suez Canal provides it with a slim competitive advantage over LNG export giant Qatar.
Asia Powers On
While the Atlantic LNG market has been cloaked in uncertainty, Asia remains a bright spot of global LNG demand. London-based research house Business Monitor International forecasts LNG consumption in the four main regional importers Japan, South Korea, China and India will rise from 140bcm in 2009 to 187bcm in 2014 and 260bcm by 2020, an 85% increase. Even after subtracting Asian LNG exporters such as Australia and Indonesia, net LNG demand across Asia-Pacific will rise from 76bcm in 2007 to 82bcm in 2014.
The presence of Korea Gas (Kogas) in the YLNG consortium provides an opportunity to channel cargoes from any new Yemeni trains into a rapidly expanding market. Under a long-term gas sales and purchase agreement (GSPA) Kogas already buys 2mn tpa of YLNG's gas. In mid-2010 this gas was sold at a premium gross price of around $11.45/mn BTU, according to Bloomberg.
In vying for supply deals for the new South Korean regasification terminals YLNG would face strong competition from Australia, where several mega projects fed by subsea gas and coal bed methane (CBM) are due onstream by the middle of the decade. Good business relations between Yemen and South Korean conglomerates should ease the negotiation process and may provide YLNG with a competitive edge.
Natural Markets
A major potential new market for YLNG is India, which given its geographical proximity can be considered a natural destination for Yemeni gas. Owing to its slower decentralised decision-making process India has lagged behind another rising LNG consumer, China, in building regasification capacity. India's economic outperformance, however, is creating an ever-greater pressure on the government to provide new sources of gas and LNG import terminals are expected to mushroom from mid-2010s onwards.
Finally, an emergence of the Middle East as a large net gas consumer provides an underrated expansion opportunity for YLNG. Despite the region's massive hydrocarbon reserves, the runaway gas consumption in the Gulf states is opening a supply gap. Kuwait and the UAE already have floating regasification terminals and unless politically unpalatable gas price increases for the domestic consumers are implemented, a steady rise in LNG import requirements is inevitable. Yemen is perfectly placed to meet this demand.
Hybrid Advantage
Overall, despite the turbulent swings in regional LNG prices and demand, Yemen is well positioned to maximise revenue from its existing trains and to expand its liquefaction capacity. First, the country's location makes it what the International Energy Agency (IEA) calls a 'hybrid' LNG producer, able to target both the Atlantic and Pacific markets.
Related to this geographical flexibility is the elasticity of the offtake deals held by GDF and Total, which allows them to divert a large share of their combined 4.5mn tpa of contracted Yemeni LNG to higher paying markets. The extra revenue made by exploiting arbitrage in the LNG markets is split between the Yemeni government and private partners, benefiting both. So far this year, the French firms have been able to reroute US-bound cargoes to India, China, Japan, Spain and Kuwait, netting the government extra returns of $0.3-15mn per cargo.
Finally, without underestimating regional complexities it is important to keep in mind the overall global LNG outlook. Despite the sharp fall in the US gas import demand projections, LNG buyers will continue to outnumber LNG sellers. According to the IEA's 2009 International Gas Market Review, global liquefaction capacity will increase by 50% in 2008-2013 to 410bcm. In contrast, regasification capacity will rise from 637bcm at end-2008 to 813bcm just by the end of this year. The discrepancy between world's supply and demand is clear. Strategically located projects backed by leading global LNG traders and buyers such as Yemen LNG are well-positioned to exploit this demand.

Writing As Therapy Can Lead To Great Story Plots! (Writing Exercise)by Edwina Frazier on 08/07/17
I wrote a letter to my mother filled with blistering anger and resentment. I held nothing back. I didn't cuss or call her names, but I sure let her know how I was feeling. The rant went on for several pages before I slowed down. After typing the last word and period with a flourish, I reviewed what I'd written with satisfaction and then read it aloud a few times as though I were talking to her... then I permanently deleted it from my laptop.
I wish I could say I felt tremendously better after this prolific release but that would not be true. I was still angry with my mother. However, I was in a better position to have a more productive conversation with her after venting my emotions in writing.
I discovered, as I wrote, that what had really fueled my anger was not what she said, but the fact she had exposed what I had been thinking (about her) that I thought I had covered up. It startled me that she had seen through my "good daughter" façade and saw the frustrated woman I'd become. The blow up we had seemed to literally take all the colors out of my world that day. She was my mother for goodness sake! I felt horrible and justified at the same time. I was conflicted in the worst way, and I needed to get it out, hence the letter.
It didn't help that I left town to work for a few weeks so we didn't get to talk until I got back. We both needed healing from our "falling out." I asked her to forgive me, and our relationship was restored.
Writing as therapy helped me gain a better perspective on why I was angry with my mother and provided an opportunity for me to talk honestly with her. A few years later when I thought about this incident, I realized the seeds of a great fictional short story could be gleaned from this experience.
Use my experience as an example and write a one or two paragraph story and send it to me for feedback!
Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
- Change the characters. They can be siblings, neighbors, spouses, etc.
- Change the conflict. In my story, I didn't want my mother to know how I was feeling about her because I felt a "good daughter" wouldn't have those feelings.
- Use poetic license with my story! Can you add in some sidebars or elaborate on how my mother or I must have felt and the thoughts we were thinking? Did I leave the house in a huff and wind up in an accident? Did my mother call her lawyer and take me out of the Will? LOL have fun with it!
