Course description
- Are you interested in human societies, culture and the fundamental questions about our existence?
- Are you looking for a flexible degree to keep your options open?
- Do you want to develop strong transferable skills of independent thinking, research and analysis
- Would you like a chance to study abroad for a semester?

Social Anthropology and Philosophy is a pathway within the BA (Social Sciences) degree or BASS for short. The BA (Social Sciences) at Manchester is designed to give you maximum flexibility and choice.
If you know that you are interested in the social sciences, but fancy a chance to try out a range of different topics, this could be the degree for you.
When you apply you select one of the ten joint pathways of the BA (Social Sciences), each of which has its own unique course code.
Although you'll start off on your chosen two-subject pathway, by Year 2 you can take a minimum of three subjects and a maximum of five and you can specialise in any one or two subjects in your final year.
In every subject you are given a wide range of course units to choose from, and a high degree of flexibility in the way in which you combine them as your academic interests develop.
The six main subject areas are:
- Social Anthropology: The study of societies and cultures across the globe in comparative perspective.
- Philosophy: The study of fundamental questions such as the nature of knowledge, truth and values. Philosophy also encourages greater consideration of our reasoning, judgement and ethics.
- Sociology: The study of society and examines such issues as social inequalities and forms of everyday life.
- Quantitative Methods :The study of data and analysis to understand the social world.
- Politics: The study of human organization, government and power. Politics examines and evaluates political systems and institutions.
- Criminology: The study of the causes and consequences of crime.
Students may apply to spend one semester studying abroad during the second year of their degree. The Study Abroad website contains further information.
Special features
- BA (Hons) Social Sciences contains a broad-based first year which is particularly valuable if you have not taken any social science subjects before entering university.
- There are a vast range of optional course units available to you in the second and third years. Despite the variety of these courses, all are taught by the experts in their fields - a benefit of a faculty degree.
- Founded in 1949 the Social Anthropology discipline area has grown to become one of the largest Social Anthropology departments in Britain with an unrivalled reputation for ethnographic film making, photography and sound.
- Philosophy at Manchester has a long and distinguished history. Past professors of the University have included Samuel Alexander, Dorothy Emmet, Michael Polanyi and Arthur Prior.
Teaching and learning
Tutorials and seminars are also key elements in improving your written and oral communication skills through group discussions, essay-writing and presentations.
Students are assigned an Academic Advisor, an academic member of staff who takes a friendly interest in your progress and can advise you on selecting course units and career opportunities.
Coursework and assessment
The way that you study and are assessed will depend on which units you choose. The range of methods is carefully designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding.
- Essays, coursework and other mid-term evaluations allow fuller development of and feedback on students' knowledge and understanding
- Coursework, essays and dissertations promote the development of argument and fuller understanding of academic material and test the extent to which students can carry out work independently
- Presentations or group projects promote the development of teamwork

What To Do about Isiah Thomas and the KnicksMarch 31, 2008
Isiah Thomas came to the Knicks with a promise: To take us back to the championship.
Has he done it?
Not quite.
Things have gone from bad to worse this season with the Zach Randolph experiment. The question is, why does he keep getting the same players? Or rather, the same type of players. His two big men (Zach and Eddy Curry) have no shot blocking ability, Eddy can't rebound for his life, and both don't know when to pass out of double teams.
Does James Dolan still want to entrust Isiah with handling the highly talented upcoming draft? Does James Dolan even know the kind of talent that's available?
Knicks fans can at least be a little happy that we just got Donnie Walsh from the Pacers. To a certain extent he knows talent, but then again, look at the Pacers roster right now. They're almost looking just as bad as we are with a bunch of overpaid players and a couple of decent young guys.
This offseason is going to be very important for the Knicks, and I'm not feeling too confident with Isiah still in control. It's going to be interesting to see what James Dolan does about Isiah and his role with the team, because he already said publicly that he wants Isiah to stay with the team in some kind of role.
If it were someone else to be hired other than Donnie Walsh, I think that Isiah would have a tough time staying in New York, since Isiah and Donnie have a decent relationship (Donnie gave him the opportunity to coach in Indiana).
So for all those Knick fans out there, don't feel like this is a never-ending pain of never contending for anything. With Derick Rose, Eric Gordon, Michael Beasley, and even Brook Lopez out in the draft, we have the chances to build with someone and improve from there. That's if Isiah doesn't decide to trade the draft pick and some other players for Jermaine O'neal (God no...).

Z98 Road Warrior
Whether it's the dunes, the dirt, the beach, the Baja or a road course, you won't be left in the dust with this kart by Johnson Kart, Inc. This kart has the power, the handling, the technology of a race car built into it to assure that your customers will be enjoying the most challenging ride available in the concession market.
The Z98 ROAD WARRIOR has four-wheel independent suspension for superior handling over rough terrain, giving the driver better control of the kart.
The suspension on the Z98 ROAD WARRIOR is computer-designed using the latest in suspension software, the same as used in the racing industry. The geometry is designed so the font and rear roll centers are properly located to provide safe and predictable handling while cornering and driving over rough terrain. In addition, the roll center movements follow each other under all driving conditions to provide safe and predictable handling.
Unsprung weight is reduced by using aluminum wheels. Outboard hubs are lightweight, yet strong. Less weight improves handling, giving you an Awesome handling kart.
Standard Features:
· Hayes disc brakes.
· Ackerman steering geometry.
· Proper caster for easy steering as well as stability under speedy conditions.
· Rack and pinion steering for quick and precise steering.
· Steering box and tie rods are located to minimize bump steer under all driving conditions.
· Shock mounting locations are computer-designed to provide the proper wheel rates under all driving conditions.

All of the components are constructed in jigs to improve part consistency.
A comet torque sensing clutch is used to provide variable ratios to maximize use of the engine's power.
The brake requirements were mathematically calculated to provide a system with substantial braking power.
Splined axles are used in the final drive. Splined axles are superior to keyed axles, as the loads are spread over the entire shaft instead of just a small area.
A cog belt final drive is used. Cog drives are more efficient in transmitting power than V-belts and chain.

Hello Gentle Reader. In the seven (!) months since I last wrote…
I got a job.
I won some awards.
I scratched some speaking engagements off of the professional bucket list.
Then I deliberately took a step back from "public life." No speaking engagements, no blog posts, no nothing. Partly because I wanted to settle into my new job and see what the vibe was like there (although I'm sure SOMEONE had to have googled me and seen what an asshole I am before hiring me). Partly because I felt like I was running out of fresh things to say and I was tired of hearing my own voice.
Then Election 2016 happened and everything was awful.
Then my mom got sick and things were worse.
Then my mom died and things got so bad that mere words can't convey the exact feeling. So bad that as a result current events almost seem tolerable. Well, that's a bad word choice because I can't – and shouldn't – actually tolerate what's going on in the world. It's just that once the worst possible thing that can happen happens, everything else bad in life pales in comparison.
Both of my parents lost a sibling to a car crash and when she told me that she was sick, Mom reflected that she was glad that it was an illness that was going to kill her and that we wouldn't be subjected to the phone call in the middle of the night. Little did we know then the speed at which pancreatic cancer works. From her first "I don't feel so well" doctor's appointment to her death was only six weeks. It was, in effect, a slow motion car crash.
I can't properly eulogize my mother here. Suffice it to say that for all of you that think I'm a pain in the ass, well…she was the O.G. She raised me to be outspoken, to value education (in all the forms it takes) and to spend my time serving humanity and God though my actions. I'm trying.
I grew up in – and my parents still live in – a small farming town in rural Southern Ohio. The week of my mother's death and funeral are a bit of a blur, but one thing that stands out is the support that this community provided to my family. From deliveries of food (so much food!) to watching the cows to the line that snaked out the door of the funeral home of all the people that came out to pay their last respects to my mom…I felt the power of community and the safety net it provides.
I must admit, I'm feeling a bit adrift professionally. I like my job, but that sense of community that I felt at home that week seems to be missing from my professional life. I went to AALL last year and for the first time, I felt like an outsider. (A feeling amplified by the fact that I couldn't land a job in a law library after my fellowship ended.) I never practiced law so Legal Tech never feels quite right. And I'm not enough of a coder to really fit in the Open Gov and Open Law worlds. Yeah, there's a benefit to having someone like me float in between the groups and connect them, but I'm tired of feeling like I'm crashing parties.
There's also the aforementioned feeling that I've said all there is to say. Not only that, but I've also lost the drive that I had early in my career to do ever more and more things and make my voice heard. I've sort of done everything that I ever wanted to do and at the end of the day it didn't matter. And now I'm at a point where I really don't care about my career. My main priority in life is getting my family through the aftermath of Mom's death.
The crazy thing is that these areas – my areas of expertise – are all more important than ever. We are living in a age when facts and truth are under attack and we need institutions that it's main purpose is to preserve and provide access to knowledge. As I wrote to my former colleagues at the library innovation lab soon after the election, "Something something libraries save the world something." I'm still working out the details of that. And the Rule of Law is under siege and lawyers have become first responders to crises. Smart tech is going to be needed more than ever to make them more effective. And we live in a political age where secrecy and misdirection are becoming commonplace and more Open Gov sunshine is needed to help counteract that.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I've actively avoided making decisions lately by saying "Mom would have wanted [x]…" but I think Mom would have wanted me to keep blogging. (As it turns out, she kept all of my blog posts printed out in a binder by her desk.) So I am going to attempt to write more here (as well as in the other publications to which I committed myself before everything fell apart.) Maybe by putting myself out here I'll find more like minded individuals and we can start our own community. And I'll hopefully find the professional spark of interest again.
So I'm back. Or trying to be, anyway.

Please replace these instructions with the names of committee members and chair. Also include the committee's overall goal for this year. The first post should be a discussion of what the committee sees as its responsibilities and plan of action.
Promote Pink Fridays, also we need some ongoing publicity for the Relay for Life and related fundraisers
2012 National Honor Society Annual Committee Report Form
Committee: Publicity
Committee Chairperson: Caroline Paper
Date of Form Completion: April 18th, 2012
Description of Project: We made posters in order to advertise Relay for Life, an important event that has become an NHS tradition. By advertising this event, we are promoting the cause that we have taken on as one of our goals: raising funds for cancer research and also promoting awareness and understanding.
Impact of Project on Current Student Body: By advertising the Relay for Life, we are promoting cancer awareness, and ultimately helping to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. When more students are rallied to participate in these charitable events, there is an overall improvement of the morale of the student body.
Impact of Project on Future Student Body: Our future student body will be inspired to continue the tradition of participating in the Relay for Life. Also, this project will inspire them to embark on a new, inspiring journey of empathy and compassion.
Impact of Project on Future Students on This Committee: Future students of this committee will follow our example of promoting charitable behavior and publicizing NHS. These students will be the bridge to the overall improvement of this organization, and henceforth leaders of the new and ever-changing world of tomorrow.
How Success of Project Will Be Evaluated: Success of this project will be determined by the attendance at Relay for Life and the enthusiasm exhibited by its participants.
What we are up to!
We made posters at the after school chapter service meeting. These posters are helping to advertise the upcoming breast cancer walk, relay for life. These posters said things like "Relay For Life, join the GHS team!" and "Join Glenelg's Relay For Life Team!". We are hoping to gain more interest and support for Relay for Life.

Goal: right now we are working on getting the word out more effectively about tutoring offered through NHS so that students who need help are able to get help.
Goals of the Publicity Committee
The Publicity Committee aims to aid in the promotion of events affiliated with Glenelg's chapter of NHS. In the near future, the Publicity Committee will help to promote the Relay for Life event, as well as the purple glove dance. It will also encourage students to take advantage of both volunteering and tutoring opportunities within the school and community, keep grades at a level acceptable for admission into the society, and help each other with the promotion of events.

The bit you're quoting here is about images that show logos, not about images showing detailed diagrams. The spec does in fact supports what you say for logos: # If the logo is being used to represent the entity, e.g. as a page # header, the alt attribute must contain the name of the entity being # represented by the logo. The alt attribute must not contain text like # the word "logo", as it is not the fact that it is a logo that is being # conveyed, it's the entity itself. There doesn't seem to be anything in the survey regarding how to handle images that convey complicated concepts in the form of diagrams not otherwise represented in the text. > http://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey/#images This is awesome data, thanks for the link. I'll make sure to study this carefully and see if anything in the spec should be updated based on it. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.

Another method of producing a high finish is known as flinting.
Old English flint "flint, rock," common Germanic (cf. Middle Dutch vlint, Old High German flins, Danish flint), from PIE *splind- "to split, cleave," from root *(s)plei- "to splice, split" (cf. Greek plinthos "brick, tile," Old Irish slind "brick"). Transferred senses were in Old English.

There's a lot you can do in 312 sq. ft.
Just ask Elii, a design firm based out of Madrid.
About a year ago the company rolled out a video promoting "Biombombastic," a project that turned an old apartment into an innovative space using transformable walls that work like origami.
The apartment doesn't exactly stand out on its own.
From a simple look at the place, you find an open-concept space with white walls, wood panelling, and a kitchen that is little more than a sink and a stove with two griddles.
Then you see what three interconnected walls can do.
They bend and arrange themselves along various axes to create a separate kitchen, a living room with an ironing board that doubles as a desk, and a bedroom with a bed that folds out from a wall.
"One simple surface is folded and unfolded depending on the domestic configuration to adapt to the everyday life of its inhabitants," Elii said on its website.
"Multiplying spaces."
Biombombastic was created as part of a series of transformative spaces that turn homes into "small domestic theatres" where Elii tests different ways of living.
It's not the only innovative apartment that tailors a small interior to varying needs.
Earlier this year, Hong Kong design firm LAAB Architects took 309 sq. ft. apartment and maximized the space to allow a big kitchen, a home theatre and a bathroom, all in the space of a single bedroom.
Paying for shelter is pricey almost anywhere you go.
But a little ingenuity can make great things out of small spaces.

Research says: blog posts deliver long-term traffic.
Robin Good's curator insight, May 4, 2013 7:12 AM
Bunkr is a new web app which allows you to easily collect and organize all of your existing content and images and to build up visual presentations by easily dragging and dropping your selected items into a dedicated presentation area.
Bunkr slides can be easily edited, with text, images or video clips. Slides can be easily deleted, moved or rearranged intuitively.
An integrated library + search facility makes it easy to organize in a professional way all of your imported content so that you can use it for more than just one time.
The final presentation can be saved, previewed and exported to HTML5 iframe embed code, PDF or PPTX formats for final publication and distribution.
My initial impressions are quite positive as the tool feels fast, and quite intuitive (after you have seen the tutorial clips). From there everything works as expected and once you have imported your selected content, you can build a presentation in a matter of minutes.
Some features that would make Bunkr an immediate winner with me would be:
a) Ability to search for resources (content+images+video) out on the web
b) Option to import an image in a slide and have it automatically fill the whole slide
c) Better text control handling (small controls, low usability) to make it easy to edit text easily and format it faster
d) Some great display fonts
Free to use.
Try it out now: http://bunkr.me
Check out these mini-tutorial clips:
Definitely worth trying out.

Ontario Deaths and Overseas Deaths (FamilySearch Historical Records)
|This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org.
Access the records: Ontario Deaths 1869-1947 .

- 2 Record Description
- 3 How to Use the Records
- 4 Record History
- 5 Related Web Sites
- 6 Related Wiki Articles
- 7 Citing FamilySearch Historical Collections
- 8 Sources of Information for This Collection:
Collection Time Period
This collection includes death records from July 1869 through 1937 and overseas deaths of Ontario military personnel, 1939-1947.
Record Description
Registrations were kept on printed forms and then bound into volumes. The entries are arranged chronologically by date of registration.
Record Content
- Important genealogical information in Ontario civil deaths:
- Death date and registration date.
- Beginning in 1908, the place of death; before 1908, the place of death was implied by the divisions and county where the event was registered.
- Birthplace of the deceased; beginning in 1908, the birthplace of the parents.
- Name of the deceased.
- Before 1908, name of the informant.
- Beginning in 1908, the full name of the father and maiden name of the mother.
- Registrations for 1907–1908 may include either the spouse's name (if married) or the father's name (if single).
- Age.
- Sex.
- Prior to 1908, a relationship to the informant (often a relative).
- Former residence of the deceased, 1896–1906.
- Residence of the informant, 1869–1896.
How to Use the Records
Death registrations are the best source of death information for an individual. These records may list a person's age, occupation, religious affiliation, and birthplace. You can use this information to then search for additional records. In addition, death records may provide clues for searching for other individuals, ones related to your ancestor. Usually the person who provided the death information was a child or other relative of the deceased. Death registrations after 1907 list the names and birthplaces of parents. Use this information to begin compiling a family group and to extend your lineage.
Record History
A provincial act to register births, marriages, and deaths went into effect on July 1, 1869. This act created the Office of the Registrar General, and in each county or incorporated city or town, a clerk of the peace acted as the district registrar. Each municipality (city, village, town, township, or district) had a division registrar who sent all their books to a district registrar. This district registrar then transmitted the records to the registrar general at the provincial level. In 1875 the office of district registrar was eliminated, and the division registrars began sending their registrations directly to the registrar general.
In 1896 the process was altered. Division registrars received a copy of the registration forms from the person who reported the event. These forms were then indexed and entered into new registers. The division registrar made a copy of the form and every six months sent them to the Office of the Registrar General. After 1908 the division registrar made two copies of the original forms, who then kept one locally and sent the other quarterly to the registrar general. Later, the registrar general began indexing the registers.
Why This Collection Was Created?
Deaths were recorded in Ontario to better serve public health needs. They were also used in connection with the probate of wills and the administration of estates.
Record Reliability
The information pertaining to death is usually reliable. This includes the cause of death, the name of the attending physician or medical professional, the name and address of the funeral home, and the exact date and place of burial. The accuracy of other information depends on the reliability of the informant (often a family member).

Cyber-Thingy™ And EmpaSys™ Expand Upon Agreement
Dec 17, 2012, 08:00 ET from Dynasty Limousine, Inc.
CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynasty Limousine, Inc. (PinkSheets: DNYS) soon to be known as Cyber-Thingy™ Inc., is pleased to announce that EmpaSys™ and DNYS's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cyber-Thingy™ have expanded upon their Master Agent License, Cross Marketing and Distribution Agreement with Transaction Management LLC for EmpaSys™.
The EmpaSys™ electronic payment solution currently uses a computer web-based platform to process all transactions. The Agreement with Cyber-Thingy™ will enable EmpaSys™ to convert its current eligible locations to upgraded store friendly Kiosk systems supplied by Cyber-Thingy™.
Cyber-Thingy™ has developed 3 different types of Kiosks a free standing machine, a counter top design and a mounted tablet design. EmpaSys™ can utilize all 3 versions within its current 1400 locations and for all future locations. Cyber-Thingy™ will generate revenue from the sale of the Kiosk systems, transactional fees and digital media advertisements. The more locations, services, transactions and media advertisements the more fees generated for Cyber-Thingy™.
Cyber-Thingy™ will be split into two operations. One will be for U.S. operations for its partnership with EmpaSys™ and the second operation will be international kiosks, which will be a combination of the EmpaSys™ electronic payment solutions and the gaming software from Cyber-Thingy™. This will help shield the U.S. operations from the negativity surrounding Sweepstakes gaming when negotiating new locations and/or additional services to add to the machines.
EmpaSys™ brings 10 years of experience and Independent Sales Organizations (ISO's) already in place to place the new kiosk-styled machines. Each version will have media marketing on them which will add to the revenue stream from each location. By partnering with EmpaSys,™ Cyber-Thingy™ believes it has a very risk free and easy entry into the market place with revenue streams built in. Together both EmpaSys™ and Cyber-Thingy™ will look to expand the market to a potential of an additional 20,000 locations in the U.S. not including international locations. This will come from the current ISO's in place with the new kiosk-styled machines and with future partnerships combining additional services further expanding the offering of each kiosk machine.
The foregoing press announcement contains forward-looking statements that can be identified by such terminology such as "believes," "expects," "potential," "plans," "suggests," "may," "should," "could," "intends," or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. In particular, management's expectations could be affected by, among other things, uncertainties relating to our success in completing acquisitions, financing our operations, entering into strategic partnerships, engaging management and other matters disclosed by us in our public filings from time to time. Forward-looking statements speak only as to the date they are made. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

WWE & TNA Roundtable: The Road Warriors: The Greatest Team of All TimeOctober 25, 2011
Welcome to the second edition of the WWE & TNA Roundtable. Here, you will find four featured columnists ranting on any given topic in the business of professional wrestling. Just four fans who love to debate the sport, and who want your input. What do you think? Who's right? Who's wrong? We want to hear from you!
Hawk and Animal, The Road Warriors. Greatest tag team ever. Bar none.
That was easy. Next?
I know, there's plenty of other choices out there, and David, I have to tell you man, right off the bat. I love me some Horsemen.
Arn and Tully were two of the best wrestlers of all time, great ring technicians, great on the mic, the whole nine. And as a tag team, they are definitely right up there in the Top 5.
But they're not number one.
I'm sorry guys, Hawk and Animal are it. They are the ones who made it happen, the ones that every team who followed tried to, well, follow. They left some big boots to fill, and to this day I don't believe that we have seen a team anywhere near the dominance of The Legion of Doom.
They were the best because they were the complete package. They had a very unique look, they had great chemistry, and they could physically run over every team they were in the ring with.
Plus, they had the coolest music ever. I'm not talking about the stuff they used in WWE. I'm talking about the tune they used in Jim Crockett Promotions, Black Sabbath's Ironman.
Man, when the opening guitar riff of that song hit, the place just exploded. It was instantly recognizable, and it was awesome. And the best thing about the music is that it just added to their presence.
Hawk and Animal ran to the ring. Think about that. Two jacked-up guys, in face paint and spikes, racing to the ring with Sabbath blaring in the background. They were sheer intimidation. The devil himself would have crapped his pants at the sight of these two guys.
They were the most physically impressive tag team in the business, but on top of all that muscle and image, the fact is, they could work. They were very believable in the ring, and could hang with any team they faced. They were the real deal in every conceivable way.
Oh yeah, and then there's also the fact that they drew big time money. Big time. Like, ungodly amounts of money.
Everywhere they went, the fans followed. They loved The L.O.D, and it's that drawing power that caused them to become the only team to ever win the NWA, AWA, and WWF World Tag Team Championships.
Three different promotions, three different world titles, and The Road Warriors were given the ball every time. They were the main attraction, and they put butts in seats. That's what matters.
And I will also say that I believe you would be hard-pressed to find any teams, or for that matter, any wrestlers, in the business today that do not recognize Hawk and Animal as being the greatest of all time. That is the kind of respect that they have, and that respect is doing nothing but growing more and more all the time.
Hawk and Animal did what every worker who has ever laced up a pair of boots wants to do. They filled the building, they made a huge impact and they left a legacy. You can't ask for more than that.
Alright Daniel Massey, let's hear from you, man.

Antiques & Collectables
The Toowoomba Swap Meet was originally organized as a venue to cater for the hobby vehicle movement and the large majority of items available at the event are car related.
Many people, however, buy and sell antique and collectable items. Two pavilions have been set aside for just this purpose. The Berghofer Pavilion and the Glenvale Rooms, or Model Market, house the majority of "collectable" items, ranging from glassware and china ornaments to model and toy cars.

Ok, sorry for the late review. I've been really , on to the poem. Wow...very powerful. I'd have to say I love the lines
"Words are honestly just razorblades,
Tears and broken glass
They kill more often then people let them give life
Words are as bipolar as the wind."
Amazing Simile and a great way to get people to understand you point. (: It also flowed very nicely and i can tell you really meant what you said. Great job, keep up the good work.

|Driving in Southern Italy
Driving in Italy can be challenging. Although most other drivers are competent, many may drive faster than is allowed in Australia, and because they know the roads better and where they are going (usually), they may be more confident. This may translate as appearing impatient and prone to toot drivers who they feel are not doing the right thing.
Despite this, driving is the best way to see the country, to have time to enjoy the smaller places, and to get off the beaten track. The autostradas with their amazingly high viadotti spanning valleys and gallerie which cut through mountains in a few moments, display some of the best engineering in the world and can save much time on long trips.
Here are some pointers to help make the experience of driving on Italian roads more pleasurable.
An international driving license is not required to drive in Italy, but it is advisable, and is available from your motoring association. Consider joining the Touring Club of Italy (www.touringclub.it/international_TCI/index.asp). There are many benefits such as guidebooks, maps, advice and discounts.
Drive on the right and remember to proceed around roundabouts in and anti-clockwise direction. Take especial care when pulling out of driveways that you keep to the right. Probably the most difficult manoeuvre and potentially most dangerous is the humble U-turn. It is all too easy to look in the wrong direction and turn into the path of an oncoming vehicle.
If you have booked your accommodation ahead, get as much information on how to find it BEFORE leaving Australia. Copy web pages, ask for written directions or a map. It may be time-consuming but it will always be easier than doing it in pigeon-Italian in the dark, or trying to understand obscure street signs.
Get the best maps or atlas you can find. We used a Michelin Motoring Atlas 1:300,000 (1cm=3km).
Most autostradas beyond Naples are toll-free, or charge only nominal fees. Drivers need simply to take a ticket (biglietto) and proceed, paying when they exit the tollway. Watch for the icon on display at the toll booth. If it shows a hand, there will be an attendant who can give change, if there is only a coin symbol shown, then you will need the exact change or a Telepass.
Overtaking seems to happen anywhere and everywhere and the general rule is to give way to overtaking vehicles. When a car is joining a motorway, move to the left to allow it a free lane.
As on all European motorways, the Italians follow a strict hierarchy of who should be in which lane. The fastest car in the fast lane expects total priority, regardless of whether they are observing the speed limit or not. Never use that lane unless you are overtaking at high speed. The middle lane is for overtaking slower vehicles in the right hand lane. Many Australians are poor lane drivers and incur the wrath of European drivers when they hit the motorways. Drive in the slow lane (extreme right) for a few kilometres and observe how the locals do it, then venture into the middle of the road if you need to. The slow traffic usually moves between 110-130 km per hour. Unless you drive at 150km or more, you will probably never need to use the fast lane.
Signage is often difficult to comprehend in cities. In fact we never did work it out entirely. Here is our theory:
Italian road signs generally use either a left or right horizontal arrow to indicate routes. (^ a).The signs usually appear on the far side of the intersection. If the sign is on the left side of the intersection and the arrow is pointing to the right then proceed straight ahead. If the sign is on the right hand side of the intersection and the arrow is pointing to the right, then turn right and vice versa (maybe!).
Parking costs are low (50-60 euro-cents an hour) but you may need to buy the ticket in a bar or from a tobacconist, and you may have scratch off the appropriate square to show when you have parked and display that on the dashboard.
Always keep to the speed limit (officially 130 kph for autostradas, 110 kph on dual carriageways, 90 kph on the open road, and 50 kph in town areas, or as advised by the signs) even if those around you do not. In many cities there are zones which allow only limited traffic to facilitate pedestrian use. Senso Unico means 'one way'. STOP is universal.
As in Australia, seatbelts must always be worn and there are fines for using mobile phones while driving. The blood alcohol limit when driving is .05.
City and town streets are patrolled by the Polizia Municipale (municipal police). Country areas are patrolled by the Carabinieri (the Italian State Police.
All service stations sell unleaded gasoline (benzina verde) and diesel fuel (gasolio). Siesta hours may affect opening times in smaller towns, but motorway service areas (servizio) remain open 24 hours a day. These also usually have clean toilets, and Autogrill (cafes and fast food), and often supermarket-style shopping.
Lock your car at all times, and watch the car when you leave it at motorway service areas.

I try to go at least every other year, since I still have family there.

It looks like you had a wonderful time! You covered a lot of ground. On your next visit, the Tate and the Tate Modern are wonderful. I also LOVE Blenheim Palace, which is in Oxfordshire and is one of the most beautiful palaces/stately homes I have ever seen.

Good call to scrap Hampton Court; I was there in the rain several years ago, and it is so much better to visit during decent weather, or at the very least, when it is not raining.

Oh, how I miss London...this is my 'off year'. I am trying to figure out when I will make it there next year. I have resolved that when all of my kids are in camp for a month (which won't be for a few years), I am going to spend the entire time in Paris and London.Things That Inspirehttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-70277771008124907602009-07-17T14:14:28.613-05:002009-07-17T14:14:28.613-05:00Wow - what a fabulous vacation recap.

ENVISAT Helps Aid Workers In Honduras
Humanitarian aid workers responding to devastating flooding in Honduras have received assistance from space, with satellite images of affected areas provided rapidly following activation of the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters.
Tens of thousands of people have been displaced and 33 lives have been claimed by floods and landslides brought on by a tropical depression that hit the Central American country on October 16.On October 27, the UN Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Program (UNOSAT) asked the International Charter on 'Space and Major Disasters', referred to as 'The Charter', for support. Satellite images of the area acquired by ESA's Envisat were delivered the same day.
The Charter, founded in October 2000 by ESA, the French Space Agency (CNES) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), works to provide satellite data free of charge to those affected by disasters anywhere in the world.
With inundated areas typically visible from space, Earth Observation (EO) is increasingly being used for flood response and mitigation. One of the biggest problems during flooding emergencies is obtaining an overall view of the phenomenon, with a clear idea of the extent of the flooded area.
The crisis image of the Cortes Department, one of the hardest hit areas, is comprised of two Envisat radar images "" one acquired on 25 October and one on 20 September that was used as a reference. The blue and red colors indicate areas that are potentially flooded.
The flooding is being compared to the devastation left by Hurricane Mitch, which killed about 6 000 people when it ripped through Honduras a decade ago. Overall, Mitch claimed more than 10 000 lives across Central America.
In the wake of Hurricane Mitch, ESA, CNES and Spot Image worked to provide rapid and accurate EO-based maps of the area to emergency response teams. The reaction by the space community to the impact of Mitch is considered a precursor to the Charter.
Today, the Charter has 10 members, including ESA, CNES, CSA, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Argentine Space Agency (CONAE), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the British National Space Center/Disaster Monitoring Constellation (BNSC/DMC), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

Image 2: Honduras has been affected by severe flooding and landslides since 16 October 2008. This map, over the Cortes Department, is comprised of two Envisat Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) images "" one acquired before flooding (20 September 2008) and one acquired after flooding (25 October 2008). Black and white areas correspond to places where the radar signal did not change. Blue indicates areas where the radar signal dropped, and red indicates areas where the signal increased. Both blue and red colors indicate areas that are potentially flooded. Credits: ESA

Etheridge becomes adviser for NC storm recovery
RALEIGH, NC (AP) — Former US Rep. Bob Etheridge is moving from one state job to another, this time helping fellow Democrat Gov. Bev Perdue manage North Carolina's recovery efforts following Hurricane Irene.
Perdue appointed Etheridge on Friday as a special adviser on the storm – a job that's expected to last three months. He'll step down as head of the state Office of Economic Recovery and Investment, where he's been since February. That office oversees North Carolina's share of the federal stimulus program.
Etheridge is from Harnett County and served seven terms in Congress before losing to Renee Ellmers last November. He's also a former superintendent of public instruction.
The North Carolina Rural Center will foot the bill for his salary, prorated at Etheridge's current $98,500 annual salary.
