One day during a summer swimming session, Kenai Central High School swimming and diving coach Will Hubler told Rachel Knowles, then in fourth or fifth grade, to go take a leap -- and leap she did.
The one jump seven or eight years ago sparked a passion in Knowles that has launched the Kenai senior into the elite of Alaska's high school divers.
"She was a pool rat," Hubler said. "I just gave a her a little encouragement, and she bit on it. I just gave her a little carrot."
"I was one of the swimming lesson kids, and Will told me to jump off the diving board. One thing led to another," Knowles said.
Hubler's dare turned Knowles into a diving maniac. He invited her to dive during swimming lessons -- she was quick to take him up on that offer -- then she began coming to morning lap swims to use the boards if there weren't too many people using the lanes.
Rachel Knowles
In Athletics
In diving, the 2001 Region III champion and third-place finisher at the state championships.
Kenai 11-dive record holder.
Member of Kenai girls soccer team with three straight state tournament appearances.
In the Classroom
Considering a major in the medical field or computer science next year in college.
Treasurer of Interact community service club.
Even though she didn't have any background in gymnastics, Knowles had not problem adding somersaults, flips and twists to her dives, though she said she's had to relearn some of those maneuvers to do them with the proper approach, rather than just running and jumping.
Hubler said that while Knowles didn't have a gymnastic background, she did benefit from a backyard trampoline.
"Most of the divers I've coached are either gymnasts, or they have a trampoline at home," Hubler said. "That's where she gets her power from."
From summers at the Kenai pool, Knowles went on to join the local U.S. Diving club. Hubler said that at her first meet, Knowles was the top diver in her age group.
That trend is continuing this year, though on a bigger stage, as Knowles has posted the top scores in Region III. She was third in the state last year after winning the Region III title and was considered for All-America status.
"My technique is a lot better," Knowles said of the stellar results she's been notching this season. "My mental approach to diving has changed -- it's matured. Mentally, I've improved a whole lot. My whole mental attitude has changed, and everything is so much better."
Knowles said the mental aspect of diving is the most difficult to master, but once a diver overcomes her anxieties, the physical part is easy to figure out.
"I'm starting my two and a halfs," Knowles said. "I'm really excited -- they freak me out, but it's a dive a need for regions and state.
"Diving isn't hard physically. It's hard mentally. But once you do a dive right for the first time, your confidence is right there. It's a real confidence booster."
Knowles said that confidence is one of the most important aspects of a good diver.
"You need a positive attitude more than anything," Knowles said. "With a positive attitude, you can keep your focus and your self confidence. If your attitude drops, your diving is going to plummet with it."
Knowles is happy to share her attitude and experience with her teammates, whether it be explaining a technique or encouraging someone to try a new dive.
"She's really coachable, and I use her as a coach," Hubler said. "I'll say something, and they say, 'Hey, listen to Rachel. She'll tell you.'"
Knowles' positive attitude carries over into the classroom, where she is doing well with a full course load, including a class at Kenai Peninsula College.
Knowles said her strongest subject is English, but she's hasn't decided on a course of study when she heads off to college next fall.
"I'm up in the air," Knowles said. "I'm looking toward the medical field, and also computer science."
Knowles said she began her college search last year, but is still in the search process. She said she intends to continue diving in college.
In the mean time, Knowles has set some immediate goals for herself in the Kenai pool. She already holds the Kenai 11-dive record, and she'd like to leave Kenai with the six-dive record as well.
"I'd like to rebreak my (11-dive) record, and hopefully break the other one," Knowles said. "I'd like to so it will be a while before it's broken again."
Then there's one more season of soccer for Knowles, who has been a big part of the Kardinals' three straight appearances at the state tournament.
"I love soccer. When college time comes, and I have the opportunity to do soccer or diving, it's going to be hard to choose," Knowles said. "(I've played Boys and Girls Club soccer) every summer. I'm bummed the upcoming summer will be my last summer with Boys and Girls Club. I'm going to coach after I'm too old to play."
Knowles said that competing for a state championship, both in soccer and in diving, has driven her to perform at a higher level.
"It's so rad to compete at that level, and you're there to win," Knowles said. "The high the competition, the more exciting, the better I want to do."

Rangers' chairman Sir David Murray believes Fir Park's postponed matches should be switched to Hampden Park.
Motherwell's stadium may be unavailable for the next month while the club sorts out the drainage which has been a problem all year and caused Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League match against Celtic to be postponed.
Celtic are due to face Motherwell's tenants Gretna at Fir Park next Sunday, but a neutral venue will almost certainly need to be found.
Celtic have offered to host it, but that could be perceived as an advantage to Gordon Strachan's side.
Rangers still have to face Motherwell at Fir Park this season, but Murray accepts relocating the game to Ibrox would be controversial. "That is one option, but the easy option is to play the games at Hampden," Murray told BBC Radio Scotland. "We all have a share in Hampden. It's empty most weeks.
"It's a fair solution, nobody should be advantaged by Gretna's problems."

As a marketing guy, you might think that I'm one who prefers to be short on facts and long on message. If so, you would be incorrect. Turns out before I moved to the "dark side", I was mostly left brain orientated.
My background is electrical engineering with a focus in digital design. Needless to say, these assignments placed great importance on facts—does it work and do what it claims—and less on tag lines.
This digression brings us to the present and why I'm eager to share the independent performance certification results of the new Network Instruments GigaStor 10 Gb Wire Speed (WS) packet capture appliance. This report provides a breath of fresh air for my engineering side.
Our GigaStor 10 Gb WS has been independently certified by the Tolly Group who has confirmed our claims of true, sustained (read hours, days, weeks, months, etc…) 10 Gb full-duplex, wire-speed performance. No real-world data center limitations or qualifiers. Here's a link to the full report.
We worked with Tolly to design a test methodology that would replicate today's most stressful data center traffic patterns. Hence a variety of packet sizes were used. In addition, when discussing the effort with their engineering organization, we emphasized that there are two significant design challenges for successful packet capture and subsequent disk storage for indefinite periods of time.
1) Successfully grabbing EVERY packet off the network.
2) The ability to write that data from memory to disk for extended storage
Any bottle necks in the design will almost certainly (eventually) result is packets being dropped after extended periods of capture when the appliance RAM overflows.
Therefore, we requested a long-term test (multiple hours) that would clearly demonstrate unconditionally a sustained write-to-disk data rate that exceeded full duplex 10 Gb wire speed. How did we do it? Without getting into too many details, the entire appliance has been tuned and developed internally to achieve the phenomenal performance this test illustrates.
So what does this all mean for the enterprise data center? Our largest customers have been searching for a solution to monitor their nearly saturated or 100% utilized core 10 Gb network links. Now they know that nothing will traverse the network without being recorded. This provides a new level of assurance, enhanced service delivery and improved end user experience by allowing network or application anomalies and security breaches to be captured and quickly analyzed.
When comparing packet capture solutions for your new or upgraded 10 Gb core, be sure to ask for independent, third-party validation. If any doubts remain, request each vendor demonstrate their performance for extended periods of time on your most congested lines. When it comes to true 10 Gb full duplex wire speed packet capture, it's best to ensure the vendor can support their claims. And yes, this bit of advice is from the marketing guy.

By Elysa Gardner, USA TODAY
Remember My Sharona, the bouncy little hit that put a band called The Knack on the map, briefly, in 1979? Joyce Maynard does. In the acknowledgments for her latest novel, After Her (2 1/2 stars out of four), Maynard describes it as "a deceptively simple and utterly seductive anthem...that crystallizes, as well as any ever has, maybe, the pounding, driving insistence of a sexual obsession." Who knew?
Maynard had the song in mind while writing the book, which follows two sisters coming of age in Marin County, California, in the 1970s, in the shadow of a serial killer. Like most of the author's assorted projects, to some extent or another, After Her is based on a true story -- in this case, that of two siblings who resided in that county when David Carpenter, aka the Trailside Killer, began a rape-and-murder spree that would leave five young women dead.
The fictional Rachel and Patty Toricelli are, like their real-life counterparts, daughters of the police detective charged with finding the bogeyman, who becomes "the Sunset Strangler" in Maynard's tale. But the characters are distinctly products of their creator's imagination and her penchant for folksy, post-feminist melodrama -- particularly Rachel, the narrator and heroine, whose life Maynard traces from childhood to middle age.
The focus is on the years leading up to and following the killings -- Rachel's adolescence, as she is discovering her considerable powers as a writer and woman. Sex is her preoccupying subject, naturally, a source of endless titillation and terror, even though her experience is limited to heavy petting with an athletic cad. We also learn that she has visions -- "this gift of mine," she calls them -- that may provide, yes, clues to the crimes.
Patty lacks her adored big sister's special talent, but possesses a huge heart and a great basketball game. Their father, the macho yet sensitive Detective Torricelli -- a man "accustomed to charming the female population of the entire San Francisco Bay Area," Rachel points out -- is estranged from their mom but dotes on both girls, even cutting their hair.
Dad has a tougher time nailing the murderer, who isn't identified until the end, after an excruciatingly obvious red herring and a final, contrived twist. But Maynard encourages our sustained interest by teasing developments and embellishing the action with asides, such as a four-page deconstruction of 13-year-old girls. A member of this breed, Rachel tells us, "needs big drama, and danger, and if life fails to offer those, she sets up situations where she can locate those things."
Maynard has clearly kept in better touch with her 13-year-old self than most of us, and her zeal makes After Her a fairly absorbing distraction -- not unlike a frivolous pop single, come to think of it.

Our ancient way of life, which is still applicable, provided three paths to lead our life namely science of thought, devotion, & work. Although they are not substitute to each other, but to a certain extent depends on each other. But for a family way of life, work of science is the only way of perfect life. In Geeta, Lord Krishna emphasized on science of work too.
Every one of us wants to succeed in our life. Success means many wonderful positive things. It brings physical, mental & social prosperity. In fact in the science of work, achievement is the goal of life. Everybody wants the best his life can deliver. Nobody enjoys crawling. But the question is ''who attains the goal of success?"
The only key of success is the strong belief, determination & devotion to the work. There is nothing magical or mystical about the power of success.Belief works on our thinking process. It works this way-belief "I am positive, I can do it, yes I can."
This attitude generates the power, skills & energy needed to attain the set goal. When one holds strong belief of I can do it, how to do it is automatically born.
How to do it, is captured by those only who believe in he can do it. Strong attitude triggers the mind to figuring ways & means how to do it. It is confidence in himself which ultimately garner confidence of others.
Disbelief is a negative power. When the mind doubts its own capacity, the mind attracts reasons to support the disbelief. Doubt, disbelief the subconscious will to fail, the not really wanting to succeed, is responsible most failures. Think doubt & fails. Think achievement & succeed. A person is a product of own thoughts & determinations. Thought big as our learned president Kalam Shahab used to say, to get success in life.
Our mind is a factory of thought. It is a busy factory manufacturing millions of thoughts round the clock. It is guided by Triumph & Defeat. Triumph manufactures positive thoughts contrary to Defeat which is in charge of negative thoughts. The only wise thing is to fire defeat & illuminate triumph. If we succeed in it then it will open the door of success as never before.Power of belief is to generate within but not to borrow from outside. Human mind is treasure of both positive & negative thoughts. It depends on us on to whom we ride.
Successful people are not a superman. They are just ordinary folk who has developed strong belief & wisdom.
A successful man never inclined to beg excuse for his failures. He rather learns lesson from failures & stand up with new vigor & strong belief. One must remember that the thinking that guides one intelligence is much more important than how much intelligence he has particularly the work of science.
By Dr. Dinesh Mishra

Skies of Arcadia
Also Known as: Eternal Arcadia
Walkthroughs and Guides
Outside link to all the information you'll need on this game, and more!
Courtesy of: Gamefaqs.com
When you finish the game up to were you kill Galcian, go to the part where you
first entered Hokatuma through the dark rift. To your right should be a vortex facing in the direction of Hamachus island but low down. If you enter it you should find a Black Looper, when you touch it press A. You will have to battle it, but will get 15000 experience plus 15000 gold. When done leave vortex then return to it again and do this as many times as you like and it will always give you the same amount however many times you do it.
Note: You must always leave vortex and re-enter but it is worth it..
Hidden audio
While the game was in development, the game programmers wanted to implement speech. However in the final version, the speech was not included. The speech was only in the battle system. Use the following steps to hear the voices that they were going to use. Turn on the Dreamcast with no disc. When the system screen shows up, go to CD player. You will see there is no CD when you go in the CD player. While at the screen with the CD Player controls, insert either game disc. When the disc is loaded in the CD player, the Skies of Arcadia CD will appear. Select "Play" to hear the hidden audio.
Finding Gordo's bar
Go to map square E4.
Finding Glacia
To find Glacia easier, look at the lands of ice. Most of the ice is white, but within the white ice is one light blue area. It is over the mountain when you discover the lights in the sky -- go to the other side of where you are now (over the mountain). In that side alone, look for a light blue area in the ground containing a city frozen in ice. Note: This is very hard to find because none of the tips of the buildings in the city emerge from the ground.
Secret Aika FMV sequence
When you begin the game and pass the part with Alfonso's ship, return to your island. Get out of the underground base of Pirate Isle. Aika will say that she needs to freshen up a bit. Go to her house, then face towards the door. Go all the way to the left left until you see a clothesline. In that one corner you will see, pasted on the wall of that house corner, a handkerchief. Inspect the handkerchief and you will see a hidden FMV sequence of how Aika looks with her hair down.
Secret specials
You need the Delpinus and at least 5 crew members to get these specials. Get your SP (spirit points) in battle to full and a crew SP icon will appear next to the item. This enables all of your active crew members to attack. Repeat these steps to get another special. You need all 4 people alive for this. This one combines the strength of all 4 people, and is the strongest special in the game.

FAIRBANKS (AP) -- A 20-year-old Fairbanks man died of hypothermia after apparently spending the night outside in temperatures near zero.
Fairbanks police said Robbie Charlie, 20, he was found by neighborhood children lying behind his home Thursday evening. The children recognized Charlie and went to the house to tell his father, Fabian Charlie, said Fairbanks Police Officer Chris Demours.
The elder Charlie found his son, picked him up brought him inside his apartment, then called police. Robbie Charlie's family told Demours they hadn't seen him all day and suspected he had been in the backyard overnight in temperatures near zero degrees.
A Fairbanks Fire Department ambulance quickly responded to the home and found signs of life. Charlie was transported to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 5:50 p.m., Demours said. Fairbanks police Lt. Dusty Johnson said Charlie had a body-core temperature of between 84 and 86 degrees when he arrived at the hospital.
Medical personnel at the hospital told Demours that Charlie had a history of drinking. He was last seen inside the house Wednesday night. Demours said he was found with a house key on a string around his neck.

If using the term "black magic" is racist then it is also racist to use the term "white magic".
Magic is energy manipulation and this manipulation in and of itself is nether "good" or "bad". The caster's intent and use of the energy manipulation as well as many other factors determine if a magical working is positive or negative. These aspects are weighed and will be deemed the one that hangs lower on the scale. How one perceives different actions, reasons, and items will also effect where these aspects are placed on the scale. One man's curse is another man's blessing .
I personally use what many deem as "black magic" or the darker aspects of the craft. I do this for various reasons and to me they are not evil, bad, negative, etc. I simply see them as alternative or different ways to access the universal energies and cast magical workings. Sometimes one must do little evil to accomplish great good.

Normans Bay residents are angry at Network Rail's decision to go full steam ahead with changes to how the level crossing operates and say lives will be put at risk.
The crossing is manually-operated and closed overnight between 10pm-7am. Network Rail plan to change it to a 24- hour remotely controlled crossing operated from a control centre at Three Bridges.
Resident Nick Munro said, "We have enlisted the support of our MP and our local district councillors had several meetings with representatives from Network Rail. A senior representative of the Office of Rail Regulation visited Normans Bay to see for himself that it is impossible to see over the crossing from one side to the other. He was convinced a single lane crossing operated remotely as proposed by Network Rail would present unacceptable risks and advised us that he would not sign off the arrangement proposed by Network Rail. Despite this, Network Rail continues to insist that this is the only arrangement on the table."
Residents also have concerns about the impact of additional traffic on the road – an unadopted highway maintained by the village by means of voluntary contribution – and the reduction of security at night due to 24-hour operation of the crossing under the proposed arrangement.
A spokesman for Network Rail said it is modernising this crossing as part of a wider resignalling project, claiming it will improve the reliability of the railway and safety at level crossings. "The crossing will be monitored by CCTV and controlled by signallers in our new route operating centre in Three Bridges. We will also be making improvements to the road on the approach to the crossing. We have discussed proposals with residents, interested parties and the ORR.
"The majority of the level crossing equipment has been installed and we have yet to complete the civil engineering works to the road layout. Further testing of the crossing will be carried out in the coming weeks."

Kent's landscape is timelessly lovely, from the tranquil beauty of the Weald, stretched out between the chalk escarpments of the Downs, to the splendid sweep of the coast.
The nautical history of the north Kent coast has played a huge role in the history of England, all of which is outlined in one of Kent's most popular attractions: Chatham Historic Dockyard. Major towns on or near the coast include Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham, but there are also the wide open spaces of the Hoo Peninsula, which divides the estuaries of the River Thames (to the north) and the Medway (to the south).
Inland, the River Medway carves a valley through the chalk North Downs to Maidstone and towards West Sussex. Sevenoaks is at the heart of this lovely region – one marred only by the network of motorways, but otherwise full of country homes, castles and parkland (many under the auspices of English Heritage or the National Trust). Chartwell, Down House, Ightham Mote, Knole and Leeds Castle are among the stellar attractions.
Britain's ships have been built, repaired and manned at Chatham from the time of the Spanish Armada right up until the Falklands War, and it's the most complete example of an historic dockyard from the 'age of sail'. With three historic warships to explore and galleries bringing 400 years of maritime history to life, there's plenty to see. Excellent temporary exhibitions range from paintings to a collection of robots. There are indoor picnic facilities (with a soft play area) as well as a restaurant.
Dock Road, Chatham, ME4 4TY (01634 823807, www.thedockyard.co.uk). Open Apr-Oct 10am-5pm daily. Feb, Mar, Nov 10am-4pm daily. Admission £15; £7.50-£12.50 reductions; £42.50 family.
Set on two grassy, interconnected islands on the River Len in Kent, Leeds Castle is often described as England's loveliest castle. Surrounded by water, it boasts a magnificent and much-photographed medieval exterior, with a mighty gatehouse and tall, crenelated towers and battlements. The interiors are largely the work of the castle's last private owner, Lady Baillie, who bought it in 1926 and refurbished it in opulent fashion.
The outdoor aviary is remarkable, holding more than 100 exotic bird species, while stately black swans glide around the moat. The grounds take in various gardens; planted with lupins, roses, lads' love and neat box hedges, the Culpepper Garden is particularly lovely. The yew maze, meanwhile, was planted in 1988; explorers make their escape via a dramatic underground grotto, adorned with eerie carvings of mythical beasts. The castle's dog collar museum adds a final quirky touch, with a collection spanning five centuries – from no-nonsense spiked iron bands to lavish velvet creations.
Maidstone, ME17 1PL (01622 765400, www.leeds-castle.com). Open Apr-Sept 10am-6pm daily (last entry 1hr before closing). Oct-Mar 10am-5pm daily (last entry 1hr before closing). Admission £18.50; £11-£16 reductions (tickets are valid for a year).
A characterful old pub with a heavy oak door, low ceiling and wonky wooden floors (plus a new extension; try to sit in the old part if you can). The bar serves Shepherd Neame ales and pub grub; more formal meals can be had in the restaurant. The George used to be a court room; today's car park is where the stocks were set up to punish offenders.
Wrotham Road, Meopham, DA13 0AH (01474 814198). Open 11am-11pm Mon-Sat; noon-10.30pm Sun. Lunch served noon-3pm Mon-Fri; noon-4pm Sat. Dinner served 6-10pm Mon-Sat. Food served noon-8pm Sun.
Co-owned by chef Richard Phillips (who also has Thackeray's of Tunbridge Wells and Chapel Down of Tenterden in his stable), Hengist has gained a reputation for fine dining with such dishes as slow roasted pork belly with parsnip and sage terrine, creamed savoy cabbage and apple and sage compote. The food is superb, beautifully presented and served in elegantly designed rooms that are sympathetic to the 16th century building's original features. Jazz musicians play on Thursday nights.
7-9 High Street, Aylesford, ME20 7AX (01622 719273, www.hengistrestaurant.co.uk). Lunch served noon-2.30pm Tue-Sat; noon-4.30pm Sun. Dinner served 6.30-10.30pm Tue-Sat.
This lovely campsite is named after a breed of chicken, and is a welcoming, unpretentious place. The approach is on small country lanes, but the site is just south of the M20, and conveniently close to a couple of train stations. Welsummer is a small site – two fields and some woodland – dotted with fruit trees. The owner used to camp on this land with her family when she was a child, and it retains an appealingly intimate feel. The atmosphere is laid-back, with helpful staff and few rules – just enough to stop the site becoming unruly. Thoughtful touches include the hand basin at children's height in the shower block, and the fact that cars are parked in a large field away from the tents.
Chalk House, Lenham Road, Harrietsham, ME17 1NQ (01622 844048, www.welsummercamping.com). Admission £12-£20 per pitch, plus £3 adult, £1 child (3-13 years).

Some of the most beautiful stretches of Kent can be found on the north coast, and there are some interesting towns too. The delights of Whitstable are well known: colourful fishermen's huts (now trendy accommodation, of course), oysters, independent shops and good restaurants. But less talked-about places can be just as fun to visit. Herne Bay, for example, a little further to the east, is what Whitstable used to be – an unpretentious seaside town. The coast is also generously peppered with fine examples of British architecture, from beautifully preserved pubs to sprawling country manors. A cluster are to be found in Faversham, and include Britain's oldest brewery, Shepherd Neame. The rest is all about quiet pleasures; historical towns, wild coastline and marshlands, and the kind of flourishing countryside that has given Kent its reputation as the garden of England.
Britain's oldest brewer the handsome Shepherd Neame Brewery contains a shop and a bar as well as the brewery. The tour reveals Faversham's 850-year-old brewing history, and explains the brewing process – with tastings, of course.
17 Court Street, Faversham, ME13 7AX (01795 532206, www.shepherdneame.co.uk). Open Shop 10.30am-4.30pm Mon-Sat. Tours check website for dates. Tours £10.75; £8.50-£10 reductions.
Read's restaurant with rooms is based in a lovely Georgian manor, surrounded by equally handsome grounds, and sports a Michelin star, thanks to chef David Pitchford and his team. A typical meal might see roast breast of local pheasant with red cabbage braised with apples, game chips
Macknade Manor, Canterbury Road, Faversham, ME13 8XE (01795 535344, www.reads.com). Lunch served noon-2pm, dinner served 7-9pm Tue-Sat.
Fish comes fresh off the boats and into dishes such as skate cheek salad, seafood platter and steamed cod. Wheelers has been serving local oysters since 1856; they now come in a variety of ways, from plain to encased in Guinness batter. It's a quirky place, pink on the outside and small and simply decorated inside. It's BYO (no corkage charge).
8 High Street, Whitstable, CT5 1BQ (01227 273311). Open 10.30am-9pm Mon-Tue; 10.15am-9pm Thur-Fri; 10am-10pm Sat; 11am-9pm Sun. No credit cards.
This renowned gastropub sits near the sea wall on the old coast road west of Whitstable. Located in the backwaters of the Seasalter marshes, it's a remote, somewhat bleak location, but the food is so good that people flock here. Expect local, seasonal ingedients in starters such as slip sole grilled in seaweed butter or mussel and bacon chowder, and mains like Monkshill Farm pork belly and apple sauce or seared thornback ray, brown butter, cockles and sherry vinegar dressing. Book well in advance.
Faversham Road, Seasalter, CT5 4BP (01227 273370, www.thesportsmanseasalter.co.uk). Open noon-3pm, 6-10.30pm Mon; noon-3pm, 6-11pm Tue-Sat; noon-10pm Sun. Lunch served noon-2pm Tue-Sat; noon-2.30pm Sun. Dinner served 7-9pm Tue-Sat.
Once used for storage by cockle fishers, these ten wooden huts have been transformed into upmarket and very popular holiday accommodation by the Whitstable Oyster Fishery Company. All (except hut 6) have great sea views, and all are right on the beach – so not for those looking for somewhere secluded. The newest hut (no.10) is bigger than the others, with space for four adults. There's also the Anderson Shed, a converted boat builder's shed that can take four adults and two children.
Hotel Continental, 29 Beach Walk, CT5 2BP (01227 280280, www.hotelcontinental.co.uk). Rates 2-person hut £260-£400 per weekend. Family hut £300-£500 per weekend.

Sweeping sandy bays, majestic white cliffs, lush rolling fields; it's no wonder a succession of conquerors couldn't resist coming ashore on the Isle of Thanet to lay claim to its charms. The warriors guarded their prize with a liberal peppering of fortifications, some of which still stand. The river that made Thanet an island has long since silted up, but the area attracts plenty of visitors, as it has done ever since the Victorians established a string of resorts along the coast. Their elegant piers and bandstands remain, alongside more modern amusements. Geographically, little separates the three towns of Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs, but in character they are a world apart.
There's an old manor house and gardens, but the highlight is the idiosyncratic Powell-Cotton Museum. In the late 19th-century, Major Powell-Cotton hunted down all manner of exotic animals, then had them stuffed and put on display, grouped in approximations of their natural state. At the time, these spectacular dioramas became a standard for natural history museums around the world, and the Victorians flocked to see them. Today, it's a little incongruous, but fascinating, especially with the eccentric history of Powell-Cotton intertwined with it all – try to take one of the guided tours. After gawping at the surreal displays, take a woodland walk to Waterloo Tower, with its 12 bells. Quex Barn, by the entrance, is an excellent farm shop and café. The Thanet Island Music Festival is held in the grounds.
Birchington-on-Sea, CT7 0BH (01843 842168, www.quexmuseum.org). Open Apr-Oct 11am-5pm Tue-Sun. Nov-Mar 1-4pm Sun. Admission £7; £5 reductions; £20 family. Gardens only £2; £1.50 reductions. Located in Birchington, west of Margate, this is hard to define, but a must-visit.
The Turner Contemporary has a lot of weight on its shoulders: the fortunes of Margate are inextricably tied to its success. When it opens in April 2011, the £17 million project will be the jewel of Thanet – its dramatic silver structure certainly makes it look like one. The opening exhibition, Revealed: Turner Contemporary Opens (April-Sept 2011), will use one of JMW Turner's paintings as the centrepiece for new commissions by Daniel Buren, Russell Crotty, Ellen Harvey and Conrad Shawcross, as well as selected works by Teresita Fernandez and Douglas Gordon. Nothing in the World but Youth (Sept 2011-Jan 2012) will look at Margate's youth culture and how it is reflected in art. Hamish Fulton (Jan-May 2012) will be the first solo exhibition.
The Rendezvous, CT9 1HG (01843 294208, www.turnercontemporary.org). Open Summer 10am-5.30pm Tue-Sun. Winter 10am-4.30pm Tue-Sun. Admission free.
This is where to come for the best seafood in Thanet, served in the relaxed surroundings of a bustling dining room, above the respected fishmonger of the same name (the owner, Johnny Dunhill, has his own fishing fleet). The fish and chips are cooked in beef dripping, and come in mighty portions. Fancier offerings include grilled Ramsgate lobster with chips, saffron and tarragon aïoli and beetroot salad, or the amazing crispy smoked eel soldiers and soft boiled duck egg.
32 King Street, CT11 8NT (01843 852123, www.eddiegilberts.com). Lunch served noon-2.30pm Mon-Sun. Dinner served 5.30-9.30pm Mon-Sat.
This Indian restaurant, formerly the Indian Princess, is hailed as one of the best in Kent. The freshest ingredients – including Kentish game and locally caught fish – are used in dishes such as Gressingham duck pan-grilled with spices in orange, fennel and cinnamon sauce by head chef Dev Biswal. Prices aren't low, but flavours are sensational, and the own-made breads have to be tried.
44 King Street, CT9 1QE (01843 231504, www.theambrette.co.uk). Lunch served noon-2.30pm, dinner served 5.30-10pm Tue-Sun.
Peens serves the best food in Broadstairs. The interior is clean and modern, and small enough to feel intimate. Owner and chef Matt Peen sources most of the produce locally and makes everything from the mayonnaise to the biscuits that come with the coffee. Whether tapas-style snacks, light bites or a full menu, Peens has all options covered. The breakfasts are exceptional (especially when accompanied by a bloody mary). Main courses include dishes such as slow-braised rabbit with chorizo, ciabatta and fries, and renowned burgers. Bar snacks feature the likes of wild mushroom and poached egg on toast, and whitebait with aïoli. The long bar makes it a pleasant place for an evening drink.
8 Victoria Parade, CT10 1QS (01843 861289, www.peensgastrobar.co.uk). Open 10am-10pm Mon-Thur,Sun; 10am-midnight Fri, Sat. Food served 10am-9.30pm Mon-Thur, Sun; 10am-10pm Fri, Sat.

Breakfast – freshly squeezed apple juice, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs and own-made muesli – is brought to your room in the morning at a time of your choosing. It's the best place to stay in Margate, and could be classed as a destination in itself.

Belvidere Place offers excellent boutique-style B&B accommodation.

Strategically positioned between London and the major seaports, Canterbury has serious tourist appeal. Top of the cathedral city premiership, it also has ludicrously picturesque streets and a winning position on the eastern bank of the River Stour. Canterbury's compact nature and antique charms make it irresistible to city breakers and overseas visitors, so it's elbows out on the High Street in high season (and far from quiet in low).
Canterbury Cathedral is the centrepiece of the city – and, as the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the heart of the Church of England. Thousands flock each day to admire its towering, intricate architecture and contemplate the tombs of the great and good. As light pours through the magnificent stained glass windows, the oldest of which date from the early 12th century, it is wonderfully atmospheric, despite the hordes of visitors.
From the depths of the 11th-century crypt (the oldest part of the building) to the soaring arches of the 14th-century Perpendicular Gothic nave, the Cathedral reverberates with history. A modern memorial marks the spot where Thomas Becket was murdered in 1170; made of jagged steel swords, it casts a sinister shadow on the bare stone wall. In Trinity Chapel, meanwhile, a single candle burns at the former site of the martyr's shrine, which was ransacked and destroyed in 1538 on the orders of Henry VIII
The Precincts, CT1 2EH (01227 762862, www.canterbury-cathedral.org). Open Cathedral Summer 9am-5.30pm Mon-Sat; 12.30-2.30pm Sun. Winter 9am-5pm Mon-Sat; 12.30-2.30pm Sun. Crypt 10am-5.30pm Mon-Sat; 12.30pm-2.30pm Sun. Admission £8; £7 reductions.
This first-rate animal park has an impressive array of furry, leathery and feathered inmates, from snow leopards and Bengal tigers to Red River hogs and Iberian wolves. If that wasn't enough, it's also home to the UK's largest herd of African elephants, and all sorts of primates; look out for the stunning apricot and white-coloured banded leaf monkeys. What sets Howletts apart, though, is the space afforded to the animals, with generously proportioned enclosures designed to replicate their inhabitants' natural habitats. Along with its sister establishment at Port Lympne, ten miles west of Folkestone, the park also runs a successful breeding programme for the endangered black rhino.
Bekesbourne, CT4 5EL (0844 842 4647, www.aspinallfoundation.org). Open Summer 10am-6pm daily. Winter 10am-5pm daily. Admission £17.95; £11.95-£15.95 reductions.
For a scenic shopping experience, stroll down the historic streets of Canterbury's 'King's Mile' (www.thekingsmile.com), to the north-west of the Cathedral. Comprising Northgate, the Borough and Palace Street, it takes in all manner of independent shops, where you can find everything from a dolls' house to a vintage camera.
Chris and Les Harper's Siesta (1 Palace Street, 01227 464614, www.siestacrafts.co.uk) started in 1983 as a market stall selling handicrafts from Mexico and Guatemala. It now imports stock, especially musical instruments, from all over the world.
Old-fashioned sweets are the speciality at Sugar Boy (31 Palace Street, 01227 769374, www.sugarboy.co.uk), where coconut mushrooms, toffee crumble, aniseed balls and other confections are dispensed in little stripey bags.
Just around the corner on Burgate is Hawkin's Bazaar (no.34, 0844 573 4508, www.hawkin.com), filled to the rafters with great toys such as Make-your-own-Morph sets and spud guns.
An old railway freight store turned foodie emporium, this lofty Victorian building buzzes with activity. At the heart of the operation is the farmers' market, featuring traders from local organic fruit and vegetable farms, apple juice squeezers, a butcher, a baker and a sandwich-maker, craftspeople, cheese and olive sellers and many more. Above the market, diners sit at scrubbed wooden tables and choose from the chalkboard specials. Impressively, every dish is made from ingredients sourced from the stallholders below, whether it be yellow courgette, mint and lemon soup, braised ox cheeks with creamed shallots or hake wrapped in ham with pea and tarragon broth.
Station Road West, CT2 8AN (01227 459153, www.thegoodsshed.net). Breakfast served 8-10.30am Tue-Sat; 9-10.30am Sun. Lunch served noon-2.30pm Tue-Fri; noon-3pm Sat, Sun. Dinner served 6-9.30pm Tue-Sat.
Soothingly lit and decorated in understated chocolate brown tones, this is one of Canterbury's smartest eateries. Like other ABode hotel restaurants, it bears the name of two-Michelin-starred chef Michael Caines, whose influence is evident in the ambitious, polished menu. Expect elaborate fine dining: roasted saddle of Godmersham rabbit with hazelnut and green bean salad and roasted almond purée, perhaps, followed by monkfish wrapped in parma ham with creamed leeks, tomato fondue, mussels and saffron velouté. If you're on a budget, the set lunch and early dinner menus are affordable alternatives to the evening à la carte
ABode Hotel, 30-33 High Street, CT1 2RX (01227 766266, www.michaelcaines.com). Lunch served noon-2.30pm daily. Dinner served 6-9.30pm Mon-Sat.
The third outpost in a small chain of smart hotels, ABode has a prime city-centre location, close to the Cathedral. It's glamorous but markedly unstuffy, with a lavish champagne bar and an upmarket Modern British restaurant overseen by Michael Caines. The 72 rooms feature comfortable, handcrafted beds with cashmere throws, pale wood floors and furniture, enamel baths, wet rooms, enormous LCD TVs, DVD players and Wi-Fi. Rooms are graded by price and size, from 'comfortable', through 'desirable' and 'enviable' to 'fabulous'; book the latter and you'll find yourself in a swish penthouse with a private rooftop terrace and a bed the size of a tennis court.
High Street, CT1 2RX (01227 766266, www.abodehotels.co.uk). Rates £105-£165 double incl breakfast.
On the edge of the town centre, this tiny 15th-century cottage has been beautifully renovated to become a chic, one-bedroom B&B. There's a private sitting room, decorated in cool creams and heated by a cosy wood-burning stove, and a modern, mosaic-tiled wetroom; up the steep staircase is an equally stylish bedroom. The attention to detail is what marks this place out: the king-size bed has a hand-sprung mattress and plump down pillows, for example, and there's an iPod dock in the living room and Wi-Fi access throughout. Breakfast brings all manner of good things, from home-made yoghurt with fruit coulis to top-notch cooked breakfasts. If you'd rather self-cater, the owner also rents out a three-bedroom Victorian cottage, 14 Love Lane, which is just next door.
7 Longport, CT1 1PE (01227 455367, www.7longport.co.uk). Rates B&B from £90 double incl breakfast. Cottage from £500 per wk.
The east Kent coastline offers secluded bays, rolling hills, fishing towns and the magnificent White Cliffs of Dover. Dover's iconic cliff faces are the striking centrepoint of the coastal strip that runs between the former medieval port of Sandwich, via the peaceful seaside resort of Deal, to the small market town of Hythe. Facing France, at the narrowest part of the English Channel, this vast chalk wall flecked with black flint is often a visitor's first glimpse of England; ferries still nip across the Dover strait to and from the French ports of Calais and Dunkirk. Together with Hastings, New Romney, Hythe and Sandwich, Dover is one of the Cinque Ports. This once meant considerable military and trade responsibilities (but no national tax), but today the Cinque Ports banner is wholly symbolic.
Dover has always been an important defensive point and Dover Castle is one of the most impressive castles in England. Beneath the castle lies a network of tunnels, parts of which date from the Middle Ages. Expanded to form subterranean barracks during the Napoleonic War, they became the nerve centre for secret military operations during World War II and the Cold War. See the dimly lit underground hospital, and peer into the atmospheric command centre, telephone exchange and anti-aircraft operations room. In addition, English Heritage has refashioned the Great Tower to appear as it would have for the arrival of Philip of Flanders in 1184, together with an absorbing exhibition. The castle grounds also house the oldest Roman lighthouse in Europe.
Castle Hill, Dover, CT16 1HU (01304 211067, www.english-heritage.org.uk). Open Mar-Oct 10am-6pm daily. Nov-Feb 10am-4pm Thur-Sun. Admission £13.90; £7-£11.80 reductions; £34.80 family.

A pretty, light-filled bistro, which uses produce from nearby allotments in its quality dishes.

Reclaimed from the sea over centuries, the windswept wetlands of Romney Marsh stretch from the coast out to beyond the crescent of the Royal Military Canal, dotted with Romney Marsh sheep and crosshatched with ditches. It has a bleak beauty, but is an unsettling place, and nowhere is this more true than at Dungeness. Here, a roughly made road separates the shingle beach from a barren hinterland, where clapboard cottages lean into the breeze. With its treacherous tides, vast expanse of shingle and nuclear power station, Dungeness can seem like a hostile place to holidaying humans. For birds, it's heavenly: fish and sealife flourish in the power station's warm waters. At Dungeness RSPB reserve you can spot warblers, waders and widgeons; in June, there are fluffy cygnets and goslings.
Directly north the terrain barely rises above sea level, the flatness pierced only by a Norman church or a wooded hillock. The biggest town in the larger area is Ashford, from where the Eurostar ducks under the English Channel to France and Belgium. To the west is Darling Buds of May country, with cosy pubs in the villages of Pluckley and Biddenden appearing out of the wooded land. North-west of Romney Marsh is the Low Weald. This is the Kent of oast houses and white weatherboard-clad buildings. At its heart is the county's prettiest town, Tenterden, known for its fine shopping and beautifully preserved High Street. Beyond that, Cranbrook is another quaint town with a hop sack full of charm. The Low Weald is also vineyard territory, and home to two of Britain's best wineries: Biddenden Vineyards and Chapel Down.
The strange landscape at Dungeness is as alluring to birds as it is to humans. Through a picture window at the visitor centre you can watch an avian spectacular unfold in the large gravel pit, and hides are dotted around the nature trail. The National Nature Reserve also harbours 600 species of plants, moths and newts.
Dungeness Road, Dungeness, TN29 9NB (01797 367934, www.dungeness-nnr.co.uk). Open 24hrs daily. The RSPB manages various parts of the site, including its hides and nature trails, and has a visitor centre here (01797 320588, www.rspb.org.uk).
Chapel Down vineyard is a slick, modern operation. The on-site restaurant is a class act, while the wine and food shop offers tastings and sells local produce alongside Chapel Down wine. Guided tours – book ahead – last just over an hour and include a tasting. The vineyard produces some superb wines, notably the award-winning sparkling whites. Ales are also being produced.
Tenterden Vineyard, Small Hythe Road, Smallhythe, TN30 7NG (01580 763033, www.englishwinesgroup.com). Open Tours June-Sept 11.30am, 1.30pm, 3pm daily. May, Oct 11.30am, 1.30pm, 3pm Sat, Sun. Shop 10am-5pm daily. Rates Guided tours and tasting £9; £2-£8 reductions.
Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson came to live at Sissinghurst in the 1930s, and planted a series of extraordinary gardens around the remains of the Elizabethan manor house. In the hands of the National Trust since the late 1960s, it remains a wonderfully evocative spot. The only part of the house open to visitors is the pink-brick tower that stands guard over the gardens; halfway up, you can peep into Vita's comfortably cluttered, book-filled study, preserved exactly as she left it. The gardens, meanwhile, are among the loveliest in England: a series of lushly planted, intimate spaces that are themed by season, making them worth visiting at almost any time of year.
Biddenden Road, Sissinghurst, TN17 2AB (01580 710701, www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-sissinghurst-castle). Open Estate dawn-dusk daily. Garden, shop & restaurant Mar-Oct 10.30am-5pm Mon, Tue, Fri-Sun. Vegetable garden May-Sept 10.30am-5pm Mon, Tue, Fri-Sun. Admission £10; £5 reductions; £25 family.
The kitchen at this thimble-sized eaterie produces the sophisticated likes of pan-fried sea bream with roast leeks, sweetcorn and vanilla purée and chanterelle mushrooms, and a selection of tempting desserts such as iced fig mousse and passion fruit rice pudding. The presentation is beautiful, and prices are surprisingly affordable given that the chef has a Michelin star.
23 Stone Street, Cranbrook, TN17 3HF (01580 714666, www.restaurant-apicius.co.uk). Lunch served noon-2pm Wed-Fri, Sun. Dinner served 7-9pm Wed-Sat.
Chef Graham Garrett's cooking is worthy of its Michelin star, but his restaurant, housed in a 15th-century weaver's cottage, is without airs and graces. The decor mixes old and new to pleasing effect, while the short menu is both inspiring and comforting. Dishes might include warm haddock carpaccio with bacon dressing or pickled rock samphire and pea shoots to start, followed by roast partridge with honeyed quince, potato pancake and rosemary butter. With 24 hours' notice, the kitchen can create bespoke vegetarian dishes.
28 High Street, Biddenden, TN27 8AH (01580 291341, www.thewesthouserestaurant.co.uk). Lunch served noon-2pm Tue-Fri; noon-3pm Sun. Dinner served 7-9.30pm Tue-Sat.
A tiny old pub with incredibly low ceilings and open fires in winter – find yourself a corner tucked beneath the beams and soak up the atmosphere. There's a fantastic terrace for alfresco drinking, beautiful gardens packed with herbs and lavender, and a conservatory if it's a little nippy. Top-notch pub food uses locally sourced ingredients (from herbs to meat) where possible, and there's a fine choice of ales.
Hareplain Road, Biddenden, TN27 8LW (01580 291472, www.thethreechimneys.co.uk). Open 11.30am-3pm, 5.30-11pm Mon-Fri; 11am-3.30pm, 5.30-11.30pm Sat; noon-3.30pm, 6-10.30pm Sun. Lunch served noon-2pm Mon-Fri; noon-2.30pm Sat, Sun. Dinner served 6.30-9pm Mon-Thur, Sun; 6.30-9.30pm Fri, Sat.
Nine rooms are spread across an oast house, a stableblock and a farmhouse. There are four suites in the stableblock, three with a living room and one with two extra family beds. The most intriguing rooms are the two in the oast house; the Appledore room is in the roundel. The Canterbury Suite has a four-poster bed and a private outdoor hot tub. The restaurant (in the 16th-century barn) is open every evening and for Sunday lunch, and has a wholly seasonal Kentish menu, accompanied by local wines
Elvey Lane, Pluckley, TN27 0SU (01233 840442, www.elveyfarm.co.uk). Rates £100-£225 double incl breakfast.
On the upper end of the Weald – a Saxon name for wood – is the elegant spa town of Tunbridge Wells. Its grand architecture and tranquil parkland are the legacy of its Regency heyday, when the rich and royal flocked to sample its healing waters and giddy social scene. Today, it is the area's principal town, and still exudes a quietly prosperous air.
Until the discovery of the celebrated spring, Tunbridge Wells was just forest and fields. By contrast, Tonbridge (now overshadowed by its famous sister town) has existed since medieval times, and has the craggy remains of a motte-and-bailey castle to prove it. In much better shape is the Tudor Hever Castle, near Edenbridge. With its moat, portcullis and crenellated towers, it's the sort of castle that children draw – and as the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, is steeped in history.
To the east of Tunbridge Wells, the Weald rises up to Goudhurst, offering sweeping views of the Kent countryside, dotted with oast houses and Norman church towers. West of Tonbridge, tiny villages such as Penshurst and Chiddingstone are timelessly lovely, with their crooked Tudor cottages and cosy village pubs. The green valleys, dense forests and rocky outcrops of this part of Kent also attract increasing numbers of adventure sport aficionados. Mountain-bikers hurl themselves around the tracks at Bedgebury Forest, while climbers scale Harrison's Rocks and High Rocks. More genteel activities include a ride on the Spa Valley Railway steam train, or a walk around the Pinetum at Bedgebury.
Not for suffers of vertigo, this Go Ape! outpost offers a high-wire forest adventure. Between the tree trunks of Bedgebury Forest is a network of ladders, walkways, bridges and zip-lines. Once you're safely harnessed and hooked on, and have been given a half-hour safety briefing, you're free to clamber, swing and swoop through the trees.
Bedgebury Road, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, TN17 2SJ (0845 643 9215, www.goape.co.uk). Open times vary; phone for details. Admission £30; £20 reductions.
Although the church's unassuming red-brick façade is easily missed, it is the oldest building in Tunbridge Wells. It dates back to 1676, when there were no other permanent structures in the area, and was funded by wealthy visitors to the famous spring: a list of the great, good and just plain rich can still be seen in a roll call by the stairs. Princess Victoria was among the worshippers, sitting demurely with her mother in the North Gallery. The church's spectacular plasterwork ceiling was the work of Henry Doogood, chief plasterer for Sir Christopher Wren.
London Road, TN1 1YX (01892 511745, www.kcmtw.org). Open 11am-3pm Mon-Sat. Admission free.
This smart little restaurant serves as a suitably polished showcase for the talents of chef Richard Phillips, whose CV includes stints as head chef at the Criterion and Mirabelle. Built in around 1660, Thackeray's Grade II-listed premises retain plenty of character: the restaurant takes its name from the author of Vanity Fair, who lived here in the 19th century. Lavish decor and a low-lit ambience make for an intimate meal, while the modern French menu makes excellent use of seasonal ingredients, from wild mushrooms to game. If you can't afford to go à la carte, the lunchtime menu du jour is a steal.
85 London Road, TN1 1EA (01892 511921, www.thackerays-restaurant.co.uk). Lunch served noon-3pm Sun. Food served noon-midnight Tue-Sat.
Filled with a glorious jumble of colonial artefacts, stuffed stag heads and inexplicable odds and ends (including a shark's jawbone), the Wheatsheaf is a fantastic sight. It was built at the end of the 14th century (a rare crown post was uncovered during alterations a few years back), and has an exposed section of wattle and daub wall that reads '1607 Foxy Holanby' – thought to be the name of a local squire. The meat on the menu is sourced locally, mostly from within a few miles, and all the game is shot hereabouts too.
Hever Road, Bough Beech, TN8 7NU (01732 700254, www.wheatsheafatboughbeech.co.uk). Open 11am-11pm Mon-Thur, Sun; 11am-midnight Fri, Sun. Food served noon-10pm daily.
Built in 1810 and set on a cobbled road just off the High Street, this quietly dignified red-brick house is a lovely place to stay. The double room is en suite, while the single has its own private bathroom; both are nicely decorated, and have free Wi-Fi access. The artist owner cooks up superb breakfasts, while a friendly resident cat adds to the home-from-home feel.
17 Warwick Road, TN1 1YL (01892 525910, www.swancottage.co.uk). Rates £85 double incl breakfast.
The Tunbridge Wells outpost of the Hotel du Vin chain occupies a fine sandstone mansion, built in 1762; back when it was Calverley House, the young Queen Victoria often stayed here. There are 34 large, well-appointed bedrooms (hand-sprung mattresses, Egyptian cotton linen and freestanding baths), each with its own character. The best are at the back, with views over Calverley Park. The snug Burgundy Bar has an impressive collection of whiskies, and there's also a bistro.
Crescent Road, TN1 2LY (01892 526455, www.hotelduvin.com). Rates £105-£300 double incl breakfast.

Biomacromolecules, 12 (6). pp. 2126-2136. ISSN 1525-7797Full text not available from this repository.
Pseudomonas mendocina was found to produce a unique homopolymer of poly(3-hydroxyoctanoate), P(3HO), rather than a copolymer, when grown on sodium octanoate as the sole carbon source. Although this polymer has been produced by other organisms, interestingly this is the first time an absolute homopolymer has been produced by a wild type organism. In addition, a detailed study on the effects of different extraction methods on the yield, molecular weight, thermal properties, and lipopolysaccharide content of P(3HO) has been carried out. The organism was able to accumulate P(3HO) up to 31.38% of its dry cell weight within 48 h in mineral salt medium. Characterization of the monomer was carried out using FTIR, GC-MS, (13)C, (1)H, and HSQC NMR spectroscopy. The polymer had a crystallinity of 37.5%, Young's modulus value of 11.6 MPa and contact angle of 77.3°. Microstructural studies of solvent cast polymer films revealed a smooth surface topography with a root-mean-square roughness value of 0.238 ?m.

Many different, sometimes related, problems have come to be known as 'problems of individuation'. Perhaps the original and central version of the problem of individuation is this: what is it, if anything, that makes some object the particular object that it is? What makes this so-and-so this so-and-so? The problem may arise in the following way. Consider the quality (a non-relational property) of being blue. Since many things might be blue, what makes this blue thing this blue thing cannot be the fact that it is blue. Now, while many things can be blue, fewer things will be both blue and round; and fewer things, still, will be blue, round, and woollen; and so on. It may thus be asked whether there is a group consisting of some or all of the purely qualitative features of a given thing such that no thing other than it has just those qualities? If so, then what makes this thing this thing is the possession of just those qualities. In that case, a restricted version of the principle of the identity of indiscernibles , cast in terms of qualities, will be true: for any object, x . and any object, y , if, for every quality Q, x has Q if, and only if, y has Q , then x = y . However, while it might be the case that some object, x , is in fact the one and only object that possesses a certain, perhaps complex, quality, it is compatible with this that there could be some ... log in or subscribe to read full text

Alessandro, The quoted text you cite is pretty clear. I have emphasized using CAPS. "SOAP 1.2 DOES NOT ALLOW the env:encodingStyle attribute to appear on the SOAP env:Envelope, whereas SOAP 1.1 allows it to appear on any element. SOAP 1.2 specifies specific elements where this attribute may be used." Additionally, from the SOAP1.2 specification [1]: "The encodingStyle attribute information item MAY appear on the following: 1. A SOAP header block (see 5.2.1 SOAP header block). 2. A child element information item of the SOAP Body element information item (see 5.3.1 SOAP Body child Element) if that child is not a SOAP Fault element information item (see 5.4 SOAP Fault). 3. A child element information item of the SOAP Detail element information item (see 188.8.131.52 SOAP detail entry). 4. Any descendent of 1, 2, and 3 above. The encodingStyle attribute information item MUST NOT appear on any element other than above in a SOAP message infoset." The soap:encodingStyle attribute is NOT permitted to be included in on the soap:Envelope element. Therefore, the schema is correct.

The major credit card networks provide some form of rental car insurance coverage to their customers, but types and levels of coverage vary by card, according to the "2016 Credit Card Auto Rental Insurance Report" by CardHub, an online credit card search and compare tool.
CardHub looked at the online car rental policies of all the credit cards currently offered by the 10 largest issuers. It then collected the information needed to answer these six questions: What vehicles are excluded? What other exclusions do the policies have? What is the quality of the coverage? How does one activate the benefit? How should claims be filed? How easy is it to obtain complete policy information?
For the first time this year, CardHub examined the insurance coverage at the card level; its previous studies evaluated coverage at the network level. According to CardHub, it made the change in 2016 after finding inconsistencies among offers on the same network and/or issued by the same credit card company.
After grading the cards, Citi credit cards were found to have the most favorable rental car insurance policies, according to the study. MasterCard took the title for the best network coverage; Visa finished second, followed by American Express and Discover.
Here are some other key findings of the study:
• Almost 40% of cards only cover domestic rentals for up to 15 days.• There's a 6% chance you could get penalized for driving on a dirt/gravel road.• Only Citi and Discover credit cards provide global coverage. Ireland, Jamaica, and Israel are the most common country exclusions among the credit card companies.• More than 60% of credit cards don't cover all rim/tire damage.• Nearly 10% of credit cards will not reimburse you for loss of use, which can cost upward of $100.
CardHub's study also looked at the coverage that customers can expect from a credit card's standard rental insurance policy versus the best policy. For the study, CardHub used American Express' Rental Collision Policy as the "standard rental insurance policy" and Citi's Rental Collision Policy as the "best policy."
For coverage amount, the best policy covers up to $100,000 while a standard policy covers the cost of repairs and the vehicle's book value or the vehicle's purchase price (whichever is lower). When it comes to the duration of coverage, most policies cover 30 days; the best policy covers 31 days.
When looking at vehicle exclusions, a standard policy usually excludes vans, trucks, pickups, motorcycles, recreational or off-road vehicles, and certain popular SUVs, antique, exotic, or luxury vehicles. The best policy only excludes off-road vehicles, according to the study. For country exclusions, the standard policy doesn't cover rentals in Australia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, and New Zealand. The best policy has no country exclusions for renters.
In certain areas of coverage, the "standard policy" and "best policy" don't vary greatly — if at all. For instance, policies labeled standard to "best" cover costs stemming from damage, theft, or vandalism of rental vehicles. Both standard and "best" types cover towing costs, loss of use, and the personal insurance deductible. In addition, to receive the insurance coverage offered by credit cards, both types only require the customer to decline the rental company's supplemental coverage.
Andrew [ June 16, 2016 @ 08:17AM ]
Here is the issue that we have in the RAC industry. Technically, the RACs pay for this coverage through higher processing fees depending on the card used. But, RACs can't submit the claim on the card/policy, the customer is required to do that. Now I understand the privacy concerns but, that doesn't seem right. Because, most of the cards only give the customer 30 to 45 days after the rental to file a claim. Most, not all, customers don't want to mess with rental car damages and generally don't get the information to the appropriate claims office in the required amount of time. I think the RAC industry should work with the credit card issuers and try to solve this issue. If there is really coverage on the Credit Card why not make this as most "customer friendly" to the customer as possible by having the RACs help file claims with Credit Card coverages. The reality is we pay for the insurance polices.

(Critical Survey of Literature for Students)
Roubaud and his wife, Séverine, are in Paris. Roubaud, an assistant station-master for a railway company, had made a political comment displeasing to his bosses, so the company had sent him to Paris, possibly to fire him. Because Séverine had grown up in the household of an influential judge, named President Grandmorin, Roubaud was able to keep his job.
While the couple has dinner at their lodgings in Paris, Séverine gives Roubaud a gift: a knife she has just purchased. However, Séverine accidentally reveals that the ring that she wears had been given to her by Grandmorin, and that she had long been his mistress. Roubaud goes into a fit of jealousy, beats Séverine, and forces her to help him murder Grandmorin. Roubaud makes her write a letter to the judge to lure him into taking the same train that they plan to take back to Le Havre.
Meanwhile, train driver Jacques Lantier is able to stop at his old home at La Croix-de-Maufras because of railway repair.

She vows that he will never get his hands on the money and tells Jacques that she has hidden it so well that Misard will never find it.
While on a walk that night, Jacques finds his cousin Flore on the property of Grandmorin's country house, which also happens to be at La Croix-de-Maufras. Flore has always been in love with Jacques, and the two kiss. Jacques pulls away, however, because he has long been suffering from a psychological impulse to kill the women who arouse him. Jacques is tortured by his desire to kill, and after leaving Flore, he walks along the railway tracks. While the express train from Paris goes by, he sees the shadow of a man with a knife raised ready to kill another man and another figure falling over the legs of the man about to be killed.
Jacques runs into Misard on the way home, and Misard tells Jacques that he has discovered the body of a man on the side of the railroad tracks. While Misard goes to contact the police, Flore arrives, turns the body over, and recognizes it to be that of Grandmorin. Seeing the body's slit throat, Jacques's desire to kill intensifies. He also realizes that he has witnessed the murder of the judge but cannot decide whether to reveal this information.
