Frequently asked questions
Cruising is such a great value holiday as your fare includes accommodations, all main meals onboard ship, onboard daytime activities, and night-time entertainment including live stage shows. One reason cruising is good value is because you'll know what most of your holiday will cost before you go. Generally your only extra onboard expenses could be your beverages (though these are sometimes included on luxury ships), optional shore excursions, personal services such as spa treatments, and any purchases at the gift and duty free shops.
All your main meals are included on a cruise. Typically for breakfast, lunch and dinner there is an a la carte option (order from a menu) or a buffet option. There is so much choice available, and the food is excellent. However, your cruise doesn't always just include these 3 main meals. You can in fact eat non-stop for 24 hours a day if you like.
Most cruise lines also offer specialty dining as an alternative option to the main restaurants. There is typically a small cover charge for this. However, the food is well worth it, and the specialty restaurants are normally smaller and more intimate than the main restaurants so they make for a great place to celebrate a special occasion.
The entertainment on board comes in many different styles and formats but is always included in the cruise fare. In the evening there are shows in the main show lounge (except small ship cruising). Typically there are two sessions a night so, depending on your dinner time, you can always catch the show. The style of these shows changes daily. Some nights it will include all of the ship's entertainment crew with a Las Vegas style production. Other nights there may be a guest entertainer or comedian. There is something for everyone.
The entertainment doesn't stop with the nightly performances. Each night the ship provides a newsletter detailing all the activities that will take place the following day. These activities may include dance classes, arts and crafts, table tennis, live music, tournaments, trivia quizzes, recent release movies, and other deck games and deck parties. The great thing about a cruise is that you can do as much or as little as you like. If your idea of a holiday is sitting back with a good book, you can do that. If you like to be entertained there is no shortage of entertainment.
One of the main reasons for a cruise making such a great family holiday is the "kids club" facilities offered on board, and they are all included in your cruise fare. Typically the kids clubs are broken into 3 different age groups - 3 to 6 years, 7 to 12 years, and 13 – 17 years. In these dedicated children's facilities they are looked after by trained staff and the facilities are open from 9am – 10pm. Parents can check their children into the "kids club" whenever it suits them. Children love these facilities as it is "their space" aboard the ship.
NB Each cruise line has limited space on board the ship for children as the kids club facilities can cater for a limited number of children, and any child booked onto a cruise has access to the kids club. If you are planning on taking a cruise during the school holidays then you need to book early as the children's space will sell out. Also, while most cruise lines have kids club facilities there are some exceptions (not common) so you should check this at time of booking.
The chances are you will not get seasick. On a cruise most people do not suffer from motion sickness. However, if you are going to get seasick then it is likely to happen in the first 24 hours. If you limit the amount of alcohol you consume and activities you do in the first 24 hours you can reduce the chance of this happening. Another thing you can do is select a midship cabin on a lower deck. A cabin in the middle of the ship (midship) will experience the least amount of movement.
There are a number of other precautions/medications you can take, and these can be purchased before you travel at a pharmacy or health shop. Otherwise you can buy them on board.
The best thing you can do if you feel seasick is visit the ship's doctor. They can give you an injection that will give you relief from your seasickness within 30 minutes. You have planned and saved for your holiday, don't ruin it by feeling sick. Visit the doctor for the injection and get it treated straight away. If you have travel insurance then you can claim this back.
IMPORTANT: A visit to the doctor on board will cost you money so we strongly recommend you get travel insurance before you depart on your holiday.
Terms and conditions for this cruise
Frequently Asked Questions
Shore excursions are pre-organised tours & sightseeing options that you purchase on board for when your ship is in a port of call. Every ship has a "Shore Ex" desk with qualified staff who can advise you of different excursions available, what's best to do and generally help you with information on the particular region your ship is visiting.
Shore excursions can be booked on board your ship however some cruise lines allow you to pre-book and pay for excursions online. If there is a tour you really want to do then we recommend you pre-book it as popular tours do sell out.
Shore excursions are not compulsory, you are free to go ashore and return to the ship as many times as you like.
When you go ashore it is important to note:
You must take your cruise I.D. card (ticket) as proof for re-embarking.
The city or town you are visiting may not be close to the port where the ship is docked, cruise lines normally organise shuttle buses (at a minimal charge) throughout the day to and from the city centre.
You must return to the ship at the stipulated time as the ship WILL NOT wait for late passengers.
Tour costs vary depending on the activity, itinerary and inclusions. There is always a wide variety on offer for all age groups and abilities that can start from as little as $25.
Sometimes you can book your tour, when you arrive at your port, direct from the operator at a much cheaper price. However, this comes with a buyer beware warning. The operators used by the cruise line are trusted professionals so you will not be ripped off. Also, if something goes wrong on your tour, the cruise line knows where you are and will take the necessary steps to pick you up if your vehicle has broken down. In extreme cases they will even hold the ship's departure for you if you are late returning from a tour booked through the ship. They will not wait if you go direct through the operator, as they will not know where you are.
Unlike airlines, there are no luggage restrictions on a cruise. However you need to consider that you need to store it in your cabin for your holiday. There is plenty of storage space in your cabin but if you are travelling in a quad cabin you may want to impose your own restrictions.
NB It is important to remember that airlines have different luggage restrictions, so if you are flying either pre or post cruise then you may want to keep within their allowances.
Cruise lines around the world do not all operate using the same onboard currency. The currency varies from cruise line to cruise line with the most common currency being US dollars. P&O Cruises Australia, Carnival Spirit and the Sun and Dawn Princess all use Australian dollars as their onboard currency.
Cruising is a cashless society which means when you purchase anything on board you do not pay for it in cash. When you board the ship it is like checking into a hotel, you can either give a credit card imprint or the cruise line will take a cash deposit of approximately $300. You are then given a "cruise card". Your cruise card is your door key (on most ships), has your dinner table number on it (for traditional dining), and it is used for making any purchases aboard.
When you make a purchase with your cruise card, it is swiped and a receipt is printed that you will need to sign. The cost of the purchase is then added to your onboard account which you settle at the end of your cruise.
Many cruises on our websites come with onboard credits. This could be from a special promotion that is being run by the cruise line or because of the relationship we have with the cruise lines that allows us to select certain cruises to receive onboard credit. The amount of onboard credit does normally depend on the length of the cruise.
If your reservation receives onboard credit we will confirm this with you in writing and then your onboard account will automatically be in credit for the amount we have confirmed to you. This credit can be used towards any onboard expenditure that is charged back to your cabin. It is important to note that if you do not spend all of your onboard credit it will not be refunded to you in cash so it is best you spend it all while on board.
Tipping/gratuities are a big issue for a lot of Australasian cruise passengers as it is not our custom to reward good service in this way. What cruise passengers need to consider is that outside of Australasia, the remuneration for personnel in the service industry is quite low. Hence, to keep up a high standard, employees have the incentive of earning additional income via the tips they receive. At the end of the day, how much you tip is up to you.
The most common way cruise lines suggest tipping, is that they add a suggested amount to your daily onboard account. You can choose to keep that on your account or you can ask the purser to remove it. This suggested amount is divided out amongst your cabin steward, your dinner waiter, your assistant waiter, your wine steward, and maitre d'.
Some cruise lines ask passengers to wait until the end of the cruise and they discreetly leave an envelope in your cabin in which to place the appropriate amount. Some cruise lines state that the fare you have paid includes gratuities. Some cruise lines ask that you pre-pay the gratuities with your cruise fare prior to your holiday departure.
Again, the amount you tip is up to you (unless it is prepaid) and it isn't intended to have a negative impact on your holiday. Do what feels most comfortable to you.
The rules surrounding where you can smoke on board a cruise ship vary from cruise line to cruise line. However, none have taken steps to ban smoking completely. Most only allow smoking in designated areas on the open decks. Many have banned smoking on cabin balconies as this poses a fire risk.
Many cruise lines have rules restricting you from taking your own alcohol on board your cruise ship. If you have pre purchased duty free alcohol the ship will take it off you when you board and store it away for you. This alcohol will be delivered to your cabin the night before you disembark. The same applies if you purchase it when you are in port. Any purchases made on board will also be delivered the night before you disembark.
However, Princess Cruises will allow you to bring a bottle of wine aboard which you can drink at dinner or in your cabin.
These restrictions were put in place to create a safer environment on board your cruise ship, where people drink within a controlled drinking environment.

The festival Of Arts (HIFA) in conjunction with the British Council saw the coming of Hakeem Onibudo's UK based
hip-hop dance crew , who graced the streets of Mbare before the opening of the show to check out and educate
local talent.
The group, made up of five members of different cultures and backgrounds joint by their love and passion for hip-
hop, enjoyed watching the Zimcity Crew perform to cheers of the crowd.
Opening day of HIFA (26th of April) also saw the curtains rise at the Seven Arts Theatre as Hakeem and his crew
put up their first act in the festival, hip-hop as poetry which interprets, story-tells and inspires. It was a full house,
the group, as well as the act 'Hip-hop Is In Me', was well received with the crowd participating throughout the show.
The crew had two performances in the week long festival and after their second performance on Wednesday 27th of
April, they still had the time to host a short seminar at the National Ballet Company which was open to the public.
People learnt about hip-hop and also got to feel it through crumping and poping.
The ZimCity team invited Hakeem and his crew to 'The Basement' where upcoming hip-hop crews battled and shared
their views on hip-hop dance. Unfortunate they had to leave Harare before the festival ended to go back to the UK. However, they did leave people in Mbare and elsewhere united in love, understanding and respect of hip-hop.

How is obesity defined?
What are the causes of childhood obesity?
Energy Stored = Energy Intake - Energy Expenditure
What are the complications of childhood obesity?
How is childhood obesity evaluated and treated?
Are there additional treatments available for childhood obesity?

Obesity in childhood and adolescence is one of the most serious nutritional problems
facing the United States today. The prevalence of overweight children has increased
by over 50% in the past two decades. The most recent data from 1990 indicates that
22% of children and adolescents are overweight. The highest percentages are among
non-Hispanic Black girls and Hispanic boys at 30% and 27%, respectively.
Obesity relates to excess body fat. In adults, body mass index (BMI) is used to
define obesity. BMI is calculated by dividing one's weight in kilograms by one's
height in meters squared (kg/m2). BMI is used because it provides a reasonable
estimate of adiposity (body fatness), and it relates to adverse health outcomes.
Obesity in adults is defined as a BMI greater than 30 because a BMI greater than
30 is associated with an increased risk of medical problems.
In children, the medical side effects of obesity often are not readily apparent.
Consequently, deciding how to define obesity in childhood has been somewhat difficult.
The International Task Force on Obesity recently suggested that BMI should be used
to screen for childhood obesity. BMI in children has been shown to correlate with
such complications as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and persistence
of obesity into adulthood.
The specific BMI cutoff points have not yet been established, but it will probably
approximate the 85th and the 95th percentiles. For example,
children who have a BMI greater than the 95th percentile for their age
and their gender are considered obese (see Figure). Children who have a BMI between
the 85th and the 95th percentiles are also overweight but
are not defined as obese until they are greater than the 95% percentile.
There are very few medical causes of obesity in childhood. Hormonal abnormalities
that lead to increased weight gain in children typically are associated with short
stature or poor height growth. Examples of such conditions include hypothyroidism,
Cushing's syndrome, or growth hormone deficiency. Consequently, an overweight child
who has normal height growth is unlikely to have one of these hormonal abnormalities.
There are several genetic syndromes that are associated with obesity; however, these
conditions generally have short stature as a coexisting finding. Additionally, developmental
delays and unusual physical features commonly are part of these syndromes. A doctor
can rule out the majority of syndromes and hormonal disorders by performing a careful
history and a physical examination. Occasionally, blood tests or radiological examinations
are performed as part of an evaluation.
The majority of obese children do not have a recognizable syndrome or a hormonal
abnormality. Therefore, to understand the various proposed causes of weight gain
in children, one should be familiar with the following energy balance equation:
Energy stored equates to weight gain, and energy intake is calories consumed from
food and beverages. Energy expenditure is composed primarily of one's basal metabolic
rate (the number of calories expended just to lie still and the major component
of total energy expenditure) and energy expended for activity.
Consequently, if one's energy intake exceeds energy expenditure, weight gain occurs.
An individual gains 1 pound of weight for approximately every 3,500 excess calories.
Consequently, an extra 10 ounces of juice or can of soft drink (at 150 calories
each) every day would amount to a weight gain of 15 pounds per year.
Most individuals regulate their body weight so precisely that it only fluctuates
by about one-half pound per year. This is because each person has his/her own "set
point" for body weight, and various metabolic pathways in the body defend this set
point. Changes in appetite and metabolic rate occur in response to weight gain or
loss, thereby "driving" weight back to its "set point."
For example, overweight individuals who lose weight may have lower resting metabolic
rates than lean individuals, so they would need to eat less to maintain their reduced
weight. This may be one reason why diets have such a high failure rate.
Children who have overweight parents are more likely to be overweight themselves.
This observation suggests that individuals can inherit certain genes that make them
susceptible for weight gain. Studies indicate that genetic factors determine up
to 75% of our body weight. Thus, an individual who inherits a low basal metabolic
rate may be susceptible to increased weight gain. Genes also may affect energy intake
by determining specific feeding behaviors and food preferences.
Given that the genes in our population have not dramatically changed over the past
several decades, genetic factors alone cannot explain the rise in obesity. Rather,
it is the interaction between a genetic predisposition and an environment that is
conducive to weight gain. Our technically advanced society-boasting energy-saving
devices and convenient, high calorie foods-has led to changes in both activity and
eating patterns.
People have increased their dining at restaurants, visiting of fast-food chains,
and buying of prepared grocery items. Meals at restaurants tend to be very caloric
because they are served in large portions, and they are high in fat and calories
(see Table). We are led to believe that super sizes are a great deal because of
the financial discount; however, they are not such a great deal in regard to the
gain in calories.
Additionally, most schools serve lunches that are high in fat and include choices
from fast-food chains. Currently, there is no evidence that children are born with
a preference for high fat foods. Rather, experts believe that liking certain foods
is learned through repeated experiences with such foods. Observing what and how
their parents eat also may shape children's food preferences. Parents are role models;
consequently, if they like to eat high fat food, their children will likely do the
Spontaneous, as well as intentional, physical activity has decreased in children.
Participation in school physical education classes has declined significantly; a
recent survey indicated that approximately 50% of high school students were not
enrolled in regular physical education classes. Children also are spending their
time out of school in sedentary activities, such as watching television and playing
computer games.
Several cross-sectional studies report a direct association between the amount of
television watched to the degree of childhood obesity. Watching television not only
limits the time for exercise and vigorous activity, but also encourages snacking
and consumption of high fat foods through advertisements. Parental concerns over
safety also may contribute to decreased activity in children, as their neighborhoods
may not be perceived safe enough to play outside.
Lastly, children of non-active parents tend to be less active themselves. Consequently,
like the modeling of eating patterns, parents may be modeling sedentary activities
and reliance on labor-saving devices. The positive aspect of these environmental
factors is that they are, unlike genetic factors, modifiable.
Although the majority of weight-related problems are not seen until later on in
life, an overweight child may have complications that are evident. It is important
for an obese child to be evaluated for the potential consequences outlined below.
Cardiovascular Disease - Many children who are overweight have elevated blood
pressures (hypertension), high cholesterol, and high triglycerides. These conditions
are more likely to be seen in an overweight child whose family history is positive
for cardiovascular disease, hypertension, or high cholesterol.
Endocrine - Although there is rarely an endocrine cause of obesity in childhood,
there are several endocrine side effects. Overweight children often have accelerated
height growth; therefore, during childhood, they are tall compared to their peers.
This growth acceleration appears to be a normal result of over-nutrition, and it
is actually a reassuring finding, as it eliminates the majority of pathologic causes
of obesity. The timing of puberty may occur on the early side in overweight children.
Adolescent girls who are overweight may experience menstrual irregularities, including
infrequent or absent periods. Many young women who have polycystic ovarian syndrome
are overweight. Irregular menstrual periods, acne, and/or excess body hair characterize
this disorder. Lastly, many overweight children have evidence of insulin resistance.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, permitting glucose to be transported
from the blood to the cells of the body.
Insulin resistance can contribute to high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Overweight
children who have insulin resistance have an increased incidence of developing diabetes
mellitus in adolescence, especially when there is a family history of diabetes.
In many individuals, thickening and darkening of the skin (called acanthosis nigricans)
in such areas as the neck, the underarms, and the elbows are signs of insulin resistance.
Orthopedic - Because of the extra weight that they must carry, overweight
children are at an increased risk for orthopedic problems. Children may complain
of leg and ankle pain that is due to stresses in the joints. In younger children,
bowing of the legs may occur.
Gastrointestinal - Obesity in children can lead to fatty deposits in the
liver. Although this rarely causes any health problems, there can be scarring and
damage to the liver in severe cases. Gallstones also are associated with obesity;
however, the incidence of this complication is much higher in obese adults.
Pulmonary - Overweight children may have obstructive sleep apnea, a condition
that occurs when there is an obstruction in the upper airway, making breathing difficult
during sleep. In overweight children, the obstruction may be due to fat deposits
in the walls of the upper airway and by the increased work of breathing that results
from fat in the abdomen and the chest. Obstructive sleep apnea may impair learning
and memory function in children. It also can cause excess daytime sleepiness, which
may lead to an increase in sedentary activity and further weight gain.
Psychological - The greatest costs of childhood obesity may be psychological.
Young children may be teased because of their weight, and they may have difficulty
making friends. Because they tend to be taller, obese children may be perceived
as being older than they really are and may have unrealistic expectations placed
on them. Self-concept may be low in an overweight child, especially during adolescence.
How a child deals with these negative attitudes is in part related to how their
parents feel about him/her. If parents accept their child regardless of his/her
weight and focus on positive attributes, their child is more likely to have a positive
Persistence - Although not an immediate consequence, the risk of childhood
obesity persisting into adulthood is important, as there are serious medical complications
associated with being an overweight adult. The risk persistence depends on the child's
age, gender, and degree of overweight. Studies indicate that 25% of overweight preschool
children versus 80% of overweight adolescents will become obese adults. Adolescent
girls, in particular, appear to have a greater risk than boys. Additionally, the
more overweight a child is at any age, the likelihood of obesity persisting into
adulthood is higher.
An overweight child should be evaluated to determine if there is a pathologic cause
for his/her weight gain and if there are any weight-related health problems. A primary
care doctor should begin this evaluation, and he/she will decide if laboratory tests
and/or a referral to a specialist are indicated. Treatment of obesity depends on
the age of the child, the degree that the child is overweight, and the family's
or the child's willingness to change. A successful treatment plan includes dietary,
physical activity, and behavior modification components. It is important that all
family members are involved and are willing to make necessary changes themselves.
Treatment can be implemented through a primary care doctor or a structured weight
control program. Initial goals should be small, so that the family and the child
are not overwhelmed or discouraged. In a moderately overweight or very young child,
weight maintenance, rather than weight loss, may be the goal, as the child is growing
in height and thus may "grow into" a more normal BMI.
Dietary - Diets that focus on eliminating specific nutrients have not been
studied extensively in children. Consequently, it is recommended that changes be
made in a step-wise manner to decrease the fat and the calorie content of the diet.
A nutritionist often is helpful in evaluating a child's eating patterns and in educating
families how to make healthy low calorie choices. A child's diet should be analyzed,
with particular attention to the amount of juice and soft drink consumption, frequency
of eating outside the home, school lunches, portion sizes, and snacking.
Juice and soft drinks alone can account for a significant amount of extra calories
each day. For young children, it is the parents' responsibility to determine when
and how many times a child eats and what food is offered. The child's responsibility
is to decide how much he/she wants to eat (within reason). If the child does not
like what is offered, the parents' job is not to find something the child will eat.
"Short order cooking" does not encourage children to learn about new foods, such
as fruits and vegetables.
Activity - Exercise, in addition to dietary changes, is recommended for optimal
weight management. The most important factor in choosing an activity or an exercise
program is finding something that the child likes to do. Children are more likely
to participate in an activity that they, rather than their parents, choose. The
activity does not need to be an organized sport, but any type of activity or play
that is sustained. For example, walking the dog, playing outside with friends, and
riding a bike are all beneficial. Limiting sedentary activities (e.g., television
and computer time) is very important, as this will increase a child's activity level.
Behavior Modification - Various behavior modification techniques may help
a child be successful in achieving weight management goals. Self-monitoring by keeping
diet and activity records enables an older child to be more aware of his/her eating
and activity patterns. To provide a "safe" environment, parents should limit the
amount of high calorie foods in the house, discourage eating in front of the television,
and serve age-appropriate portion sizes.
Having scheduled meals and snack times and eliminating between-meal eating is in
everyone's best interest. Decreasing the frequency of meals eaten outside the home
and sending a bag lunch to school also are ways to make a healthier diet. Modification
of eating habits may include taking smaller bites, chewing food longer, and putting
the fork down between bites with the goal of increasing meal/snack duration to at
least 15 minutes. Reinforcements and rewards for achieving weekly dietary and activity
goals also may be helpful.
There are many medications that have been used successfully in adults to aid with
weight loss; however, the Food and Drug Administration has not approved these medications
for use in children. At this time, medications for childhood obesity are limited
to clinical studies and for some extraordinary medical situations. Gastric surgery
also has been performed with successful results in adults, but there have not been
enough studies in children to recommend this procedure.

When persisting a class, a persistence solution needs to know how to persist the types of each field in the class. Clearly a persistence solution can only support a finite number of Java types; it cannot know how to persist every possible type creatable. The JDO specification define lists of types that are required to be supported by all implementations of those specifications. This support can be conveniently split into two parts
An object that can be referred to (object reference, providing a relation) and that has an "identity" is termed a First Class Object (FCO) . DataNucleus supports the following Java types as FCO
An object that does not have an "identity" is termed a Second Class Object (SCO) . This is something like a String or Date field in a class, or alternatively a Collection (that contains other objects). The table below shows the currently supported SCO java types in DataNucleus. The table shows
Note that support is available for persisting other types depending on the datastore to which you are persisting
You can add support for other basic Java types quite easily, particularly if you can store it as a String or Long and then retrieve it back into its object form from that - See the Java Types plugin-point You can also define more specific support for it with RDBMS datastores - See the RDBMS Java Types plugin-point
Handling of second-class types uses wrappers and bytecode enhancement with DataNucleus. This contrasts to what Hibernate uses (proxies), and what Hibernate imposes on you. See this blog entry if you have doubts about this approach.
By default an Enum is persisted as either a String form (the name), or as an integer form (the ordinal). You control which form by specifying the column jdbc-type .
An extension to this is where you have an Enum that defines its own "value"s for the different enum options.
public enum MyColour { RED((short)1), GREEN((short)3), BLUE((short)5), YELLOW((short)8); private short value; private MyColour(short value) { this.value = value; } public short getValue() { return value; } public static MyColour getEnumByValue(short value) { switch (value) { case 1: return RED; case 3: return GREEN; case 5: return BLUE; default: return YELLOW; } } }
With the default persistence it would persist as String-based, so persisting "RED" "GREEN" "BLUE" etc. With jdbc-type as INTEGER it would persist 0, 1, 2, 3 being the ordinal values. If you define the metadata as
@Extensions({ @Extension(vendorName="datanucleus", key="enum-getter-by-value", value="getEnumByValue"), @Extension(vendorName="datanucleus", key="enum-value-getter", value="getValue") }) MyColour colour;
this will now persist 1, 3, 5, 8, being the "value" of each of the enum options.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview (Beta) is nearing, and the news and leaks about the same have started flowing fast and furiously. Today (February 7), Tom Warren at The Verge is reporting that a source familiar with Microsoft's Windows Store plans for Windows 8 has revealed several top notch games which will be made available in the Windows Store for the Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
Here is the list they have revealed (in addition to Cut The Rope which was demoed heavily at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas):
- Hydro Thunder
- Toy Soldiers
- Reckless Racing
- Angry Birds
- Ilomilo
- Rocket Riot
- Full House Poker
- Tentacles
- Crash Course
- Ms Splosion Man
- Wordament
In addition, Warren reports that Pinball and Solitaire will come preinstalled on Windows 8.
As you can see, these games are not only popular, but they are from top tier development houses. This is a good sign for Windows 8, because Microsoft is virtually going to have to start from scratch with their Store just like they had to do with Windows Phone 7 Marketplace. WinRT and Windows 8 are brand new and so is the Windows Store, and it has been well-documented that the most popular "apps" in any ecosystem are games. To have high quality games as well as top tier brands at the time of Consumer Preview, and most definitely at the time of launch is a must-have in order for Windows 8 to gain any kind of foothold in this rapidly approaching Post-PC or PC-Plus era.
What is more intriguing though, is that most of these games are familiar to Xbox and Windows Phone users. Could we see some sort of multi-player scenarios among Windows Phone, Xbox and Windows 8? Wouldn't it be awesome to play Full House Poker with your friends who may be on their Xbox, and you are on your Windows Phone or your Windows 8 PC? Xbox has already enabled "Cloud Save" with games; could we see a scenario where I can continue Angry Birds on my phone and not lose the progress I have made on my Windows 8 PC? It is so annoying to have to start from scratch every time the game is reinstalled or you install the game on a new device. With the power of the Microsoft Cloud (a.k.a. SkyDrive), we could see games which tap into the Cloud Save concept and allow seamless movement across devices without losing progress.
Wouldn't that be awesome?

Workshop Proceeding
Water Transfers in the West: Efficiency, Equity, and the Environment (1992)Water Science and Technology Board
The American West faces many challenges, but none is more important than the challenge of managing its water. This book examines the role that water transfers can play in allocating the region's scarce water resources. It focuses on the variety of third parties, including Native Americans, Hispanic communities, rural communities, and the environment, that can sometimes be harmed when water is moved.
The committee presents recommendations to guide states, tribes, and federal agencies toward better regulation. Seven in-depth case studies are presented: Nevada's Carson-Truckee basin, the Colorado Front Range, northern New Mexico, Washington's Yakima River basin, central Arizona, and the Central and Imperial valleys in California.
Water Transfers in the West presents background and current information on factors that have encouraged water transfers, typical types of transfers, and their potential negative effects. The book highlights the benefits that water transfers can bring but notes the need for more third-party representation in the processes used to evaluate planned transfers.

Fargesia murielae 'Jumbo'
Muriel's Bamboo
from £29.50
Fargesia murielae 'Jumbo' has a lovely upright but slightly arching habit and makes an excellent specimen bamboo. It's proven to be hardy in cold areas of the northern hemisphere. It has bright green stems fading to a yellow-green as they mature. It is an excellent bamboo for a pot, rarely reaching any more than 4 metres in height. Happy in most soils and situations, but preferably not a dry, sun-baked spot. Tolerant of shade and a very reliable clump former. Keep well watered until established in the ground; if growing in a pot, then just keep well watered! Very architectural and easy to grow. One of the hardiest
- Eventual Size: 3 - 4 metres, but can be pruned
- Growth in 5 years (approx): 50-80cm wide and approx. 200-250cm high
- Growth in 10 years (approx): 100-140cm wide and approx. 250-300cm high
- Expected final size (approx): 200-250cm wide and approx. To 300-400cm high
- Position: Shade to part shade
- Foliage: Evergreen
- Habit: Dense/Upright/Arching/Clump forming/Non-invasive
- Soil: All soils, but avoid waterlogged areas very dry soils will need extra watering
- Also known as: Muriel's Bamboo, Umbrella Bamboo
- Common Names: Muriel's bamboo, Fargesia murieliae (murielae) 'Jumbo'
Bamboo Care
Before planting it is a good idea to soak the bamboo thoroughly to ensure the rots are well and truly saturated then dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball add compost then place the bamboo so that the finished soil height will be slightly lower than the top of the root ball. Backfill using your soil mixed 50:50 with good compost. Once planted gently firm down the soil around the base add a top dressing of a good fertilizer, we prefer poultry manure, then mulch with a good 8-10 deep layer of compost. Finally water again to help settle the bamboo. In dry periods it may be necessary to repeat watering regularly, if the bamboo looks dry and the leaves are curling this is a sure sign. After the first season we repeat the mulching and feeding each spring.
Now stand back and enjoy. Don't expect your bamboo to grow away like a rocket, yes bamboo can grow incredibly fast but most of this happens over a 3 month period which is very generally late May through to early August so if you've planted either side of this period I'm afraid you'll have to wait.
Pruning and Grooming
Bamboo can be very accommodating here. I've seen pristine clipped hedges and topiary shaped plantings of both Phllostachys aurea and bissetti showing easy how easy it can be managed. What I like to do though on any large bamboo is to remove all old, thin and spindly canes (or culms as us horticulturists call them) then prune away all the side branches off the remaining culms to a height of between 60cm to 150cm depending on your choice. This in my opinion show bamboos off to there best making them stately specimens.

cyberscribe1 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 14 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
We're looking for a design for a company that sells fire trucks, emergency response vehicles, mobile command centers, and other such vehicles. Ideally, we need a design that captures the potential customers' eye at first glance!
First Choice Fire & Safety, Inc
Accepted File Formats:
Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff); Layered psd or png
This design will be used to create a site for a company that specializes in sales and service of all types of fire trucks, emergency response vehicles, SWAT command trucks, etc.
This will be the first web site they've ever had, so they really don't know what they want -- which isn't that helpful to you, I know, but it does open up a whole world of creative possibilities... :)
Here's what we know we need:
- Strong use of colors to really catch a prospect's eye when they visit the page. The client has no color preferences, other than that the colors work with their logo, which you can find at http://www.cybscribe.net/firstchoice/First.
- The home page will primarily feature a flash animation that will start with a video from inside a fire truck responding to a call, which will quickly transition to show two vehicles, a fire truck and an emergency response vehicle.
Your design should show what the page will look like after the flash animation has completed, thus showing the two vehicles. For placeholder/sample purposes, you can view/capture images of the vehicles in the Apparatus section of http://www.ferrarafire.com/apparatu…index.html and http://www.evi-fl.com .Don't worry about the quality of these placeholder images -- we'll replace those later with hi quality images suppled by the respective manufacturers. You can use your own fire trucks photos, if you like, as placeholders in your submission, but really, who has their own fire truck photos?
- The menu will contain the following items: Home, Apparatus, Recent Deliveries, Mobile Services, Employee Directory (or Directory, if we need to shorten), and Contact.
- The width of the winning design should fit onto a monitor set at 800 x 600px. We know we do want something more 'modern' than your "typical" fire trucks sales web site, if there is such a thing (but it doesn't necessarily need to have a 2.0 look). For example, I really, really want to avoid a look like http://www.freedomfireequipment.com/ or http://www.fescosales.com/usedveh.asp.
The winning design should be in a layered png or psd file which we can slice up into a web page later.

Optical Bandpass Filters are used to selectively transmit a portion of the spectrum while rejecting all other wavelengths. Optical Bandpass Filters are ideal for a variety of applications, such as fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy, clinical chemistry, or imaging. These filters are typically used in the life science, industrial, or R&D industries.
Edmund Optics offers a wide variety of Optical Bandpass Filters in a range of bandwidth options. Laser Line filters typically have narrow bandwidths of 2 – 5nm for demanding laser applications. Fluorescence Filters, which have been designed to maximize the energy of the excitation and emission bands, typically have broad bandwidths of 20 – 70nm. Edmund Optics' 10nm filters are ideal for chemical, environmental, or elemental analysis. Hard coated filters offer maximum performance with exceptional durability. Traditionally coated evaporated filters are cost-sensitive alternatives. Optical Bandpass Filters are angular sensitive, so care should be taken when mounting or integrating into an optical system.

93 Storm-Related Crashes in Sioux Falls
The snow and wind on Thursday resulted in 93 vehicle crashes reported to Sioux Falls Police between 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
Information Officer Sam Clemens says a few crashes happened after 8:00 p.m., with most occurring between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., when crashes were averaging about 10 per hour. He also says the evening rush went better than he expected, and that motorists were slowing down as they should, but he says 93 is still a high number of crashes.
Clemens says only four of the 93 crashes involved injuries, and none were serious.

The Panthers at Yale
When Kingman Brewster, Jr., boarded a plane on Monday, May 11, to lead a large delegation of students, faculty, and members of the Yale Corporation to lobby in Congress against the expanded war in Southeast Asia, one sensed that a new alignment of forces was taking place in American political life. It now seems conceivable that the bankers and business executives who comprise university corporations will soon be occupying buildings and circulating petitions alongside students and faculty if the government does not curb its extraordinary appetite for war.
It is too soon to say how fragile or permanent this new solidarity between liberals and radicals, between students and administrators, will be. What is certain is that the first of these alliances was made at Yale, not over the issue of the war but over the infinitely more divisive issue of the Black Panther Party. More than anything else it was the result of that combination of pluck, diplomacy, and conscience which some Yalies refer to as "Kingman Brewster's Ivy League Machismo."
Brewster provided a model which appears to have prodded dozens of other university administrators, during the past weeks, to deny their neutrality in a time of crisis, and to speak their conscience. "Perhaps all universities should be on strike," a Yale professor said the week of May 10, "except Yale. We've accomplished too much in the past weeks. We have done here on a small scale what we should be doing in society at large."
It was ironic that Yale's moment should have come on College Weekend, the first weekend of May, which is matched only by the autumnal Harvard-Yale events in bucolic and erotic expectations. For decades it has been the weekend to watch crew races and lacrosse matches, go to the beach for the first seaside outing of the year, drink too much at cookouts, take your girl to the spring prom, make love to her by the polluted banks of the Connecticut River. This year, the mood was different. "There's all this talk about dying," a Yale senior said to me the week before the May First rally supporting the Black Panthers. "After all in Chicago and Paris there were only billy-clubs. On May Day there'll be guns. I'm going to the rally, but it scares the shit out of me." He added, with that strange mixture of terror, Old Blue loyalty, and black humor which pervaded the Yale campus during the week preceding May First: "Of course we'll take our hi-fi sets out of town before we die."
What is surprising about the story is Yale's long innocence. It had been known for almost a year that nine Black Panthers would be put to trial in the New Haven courthouse, a stone's throw away from the Yale compound, for the murder of their "brother" Alex Rackley last spring. For some months it was known that an…

Lambretta scooters were made in many different countries around the world. Italy more than any other country, is known for its motorscooters. In the movies, a photograph of Rome, or in a story about this sunbathed country, the motorscooters is an obvious feature in the Italian way of life. The name most often mentioned when scooters are discussed is Lambretta, and the story of this marquee is a study of the post war industrialization of Italy. The Lambretta, like many of its European brothers, is locked up and interwoven with a parent company that produces many other products in addition to its two wheeled vehicles.
It all began in Italy with the first scooter from Innocenti, the Model M rolled off the production line in 1947. The M went on to be known as the Model A, and from then on the success of Lambretta grew and grew. Who would have thought even today Ferdinando Innocenti and his designers idea of getting Italy mobile after the war would continue to be a passion, way of life, and a mode of transport.
At first Innocenti struggled to make their scooter profitable, such was the attention to detail and quest for perfection, but in the early stages huge set up costs and small production volumes all added to the overall costs of the machines. As time went on, the factory became more and more modern, efficient and with each machine production volumes rose quickly making the Lambretta a profitable and viable product. The primary market for Innocenti to start with was its home Italian market, but they soon looked for new markets to expand sales and the word of Lambretta. All parts of Europe soon began selling these small scooters, and then most other parts of the world also saw the Lambretta hit their shores.
Innocenti soon realized that by granting lisences to manufacture scooters to various countries around the world would not only allow the Lambretta to be sold in more countries around the world, but also saw them gain royalties from such ventures without capitol outlay from the main factory itself.
Some of the countries around the world that seek licences from Innocenti were, Spain, France, Germany, India, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and more. Although some producers did market the Lambretta under differing names, such as the Serveta from Spain, the Siambretta from South America, they all share the family design that came originally from Italy. Many of these factories continued to produce Lambrettas long after Innocenti closed it doors. When the Italian factory finally closed doors it was sold to the Indian Government who set up S.I.L, Scooters India Limited who continue even today to produce a version of the Lambro three wheeled Vehicle.
The last two wheeled scooters to roll of the production lines of the various factories was as follows:
Italy - Production ceased 1972
Spain - Production ceased 1989
India - Production ceased 1998
France - Believed to be 1958
Germany - Innocenti based products ceased in 1956, but continued for a few years under NSU Prima
South American - Not known, some factories still exist today, but making cars. The Innocenti name is still used in Brazil.

ISTANBUL–As Turkey prepares for crucial local elections March 30, the country has been convulsed by the release of recordings of private conversations of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and media executives, bureaucrats and businessmen.
Mr. Erdogan says his private conversations were wiretapped and confirmed the authenticity of some of the dozens of recordings, but says many have been edited to distort their meaning as part of a plot by his one-time political ally Fethullah Gulen, a U.S.-based Turkish imam with millions of followers. Mr. Gulen has repeatedly denied any involvement and the movement's representative said on Monday he had "nothing to do with the tapes." Mr. Erdogan's spokesman did not respond to calls for comment.
The recordings have been posted on social media, including YouTube and TwitterTWTR +0.89%, by accounts with the usernames Haramzadeler (the Sons of Sinners) and Bascalan (the Prime Swindler), but no one has claimed responsibility. Here is a look at recordings that have received the most attention.
The Cash
The most explosive tape, published Feb. 25, purports to show a conversation between the prime minister and his son, Bilal, discussing how to hide tens of millions of dollars in cash stored in the family's home. The tape was alleged by the Prime Swindler to have been secretly recorded on the morning of Dec. 17, the first day of a sprawling corruption probe in which dozens of the premier's allies, including three former ministers' sons, were arrested on allegations of corruption.
On the tape, a voice alleged to be that of the prime minister instructs a person identified as his son to get rid of all the money, preferably after dark to avoid attention. The other speaker, purportedly his son, says he has moved everything except €30 million ($41.6 million), which is proving difficult to shift.
The prime minister has labeled the recording an "immoral montage," and voiced anger at having his phone secretly wiretapped. The younger Mr. Erdogan has remained quiet through the scandal, and did not respond to calls for comment through his wholesale food company.
Pro-government media went to recording studios in the U.S. and asked them to assess the tapes. Employees at the studios had no clue they had been involved in a Turkish political scandal, and though they reported the tapes had been edited they later said their analyses had been misused.
The Court Case
On March 4, the Prime Swindler published a tape accompanied by tweets alleging it showed that Mr. Erdogan meddled with a high-profile tax case against a government critic five years ago. Mr. Erdogan appears to tell Turkey's then justice minister, Sadullah Ergin, of his disappointment with the acquittal of media mogul, Aydin Dogan, in a trial over price gouging.
The prime minister appears to complain that Mr. Ergin had not followed the case closely enough. The men then appear to discuss in detail the prospects for reversing the decision.
A person close to Mr. Dogan said the case apparently discussed on the tape concerned charges brought against his company by Turkey's Capital Markets Board for allegedly causing losses to investors by overcharging its subsidiaries for products sold by a Dogan-owned firm. The case continues despite the company being acquitted several times in separate courts, the person said.
Mr. Dogan, who was involved in a public row with Mr. Erdogan, has also received a handful of fines over tax irregularities that included one for $2.5 billion. They were eventually reduced by a large amount through court appeals and a government restructuring program.
Mr. Dogan's company issued a statement the day after the tape was released, saying it would "further shake the judicial system in Turkey" if it was authentic.
Last week, Mr. Erdogan confirmed he discussed the case with Mr. Ergin, but said "it was only natural" to urge the justice minister to follow it more closely because it contained "dangerous" details, though he did not elaborate on what they were. He says the recording was "put together piece by piece."
In an interview last week with CNN Turk, Mr. Ergin said the conversation was taken out of context by editing, and that he and Mr. Erdogan were discussing complaints over alleged manipulation of court documents they were trying to figure out how to correct.
The Ship Contract
On March 4, the Prime Swindler published a tape and alleged it contained conversations between Mr. Erdogan and a shipyard owner, Metin Kalkavan, in which the prime minister appears to manipulate a tendering process.
The Prime Swindler alleged the conversation was recorded shortly after the Turkish military awarded a $2.5 billion warship-construction contract to Koc HoldingKCHOL.IS +0.49%, a Turkish conglomerate that criticized Mr. Erdogan's government during antigovernment protests last summer.
In the recording, Mr. Kalkavan, owner of the Sedef Gemi Insaat shipbuilding company, appears to tell Mr. Erdogan he had not officially applied for the bid in writing, but the premier tells him he should formally complain about an unfair bidding process. Mr. Kalkavan appears to promise he would enter a bid if it were reopened.
In the end, the bid was canceled and the contract was taken up by the Turkish navy, which has started work on building the ships.
Shortly after the cancellation, a separate $3 billion government shipbuilding contract was offered to Mr. Kalkavan and Spanish Navantia, a Spanish state-owned shipbuilding company.
Last week, Mr. Erdogan confirmed at least part of the recording, saying it was natural for him to advise someone to file a complaint to reverse wrongdoing. "As a result of the lawsuit, the bid is canceled. And the state earns a hundred, two hundred million dollars," he said, in a reference to the navy contract.
"They are as lowly as to wiretap this conversation," he said in a televised speech, referring to followers of Mr. Gulen.
According to the state-run Anadolu news agency, Mr. Kalkavan confirmed the conversation, but stressed it was "wrong to make conclusions based on just some parts of it." A spokesman for Spanish Navantia said the company had no doubt it won the tender based on the strength of its product.
The Media
The Sons of Sinners published a series of tapes, the first on Feb. 4, in which government officials allegedly order media bosses to change headlines, censor opposition politicians' speeches and write stories planted by officials. According to the tapes, the orders were apparently executed without resistance.
Mr. Erdogan did not challenge their authenticity and directly confirmed one recording in which he personally called a media executive to order the removal of headlines from an opposition speech as he watched them airing on TV. "Yes, I made the call… because there were insults against us, against the prime minister… and they did what was necessary," Mr. Erdogan said in televised remarks mid-February. "We have to also teach them these things. Because the insults were not normal."
The content of many tapes was confirmed by Turkish editor in chief Fatih Altayli, who said in a television interview that the government would regularly interfere with the content published in his newspaper, Haberturk.

DJ Mapping Info
The purpose of this page is to provide a series of "maps" that can be used to translate the information in the Radio Stream to determine the current DJ (like Chatbot does). If you are not a programmer, or do not know how to parse HTML pages, this page will not be of use to you.
This page is a special protected page that can only be edited by the DJs.
DJs should be sure to have their credentials correct on the 24k stream.
Use and Guidelines
Here is the format for this page.
The DJ's information will be in the following format:
- type, searchstring, DJname
That is, the line will begin with a <li> tag of some sort followed by the type of information given on this line, then a comma, then the string, or substring that should be be present in that information tag, then the DJs name (as given in the schedule and here at the Wiki)
This will look like this:
- AIM, cassandra, Cassandra
This means: In DJ Cassandra's AIM info tag in her radio stream, she will always include the word "cassandra" in that field. It may be cassandrakol, cassandra7kol, thisiscassandra, or any other similar variation.
Guidelines for Programmers
- The section of information for parsing will begin with one * then "BEGIN MAPS" then another * inside a header tag.
- The end of the section will be the same, but with "END MAPS"
- All lines will have three comma-separated information parts
- The type can be AIM or GENRE
- please treat all entries as non-case sensitive UNLESS you are trying to link back to a Wiki page for the DJ, in which case the DJ Name must be treated as case sensitive.
- Don't forget that the information may be a substring don't rely on exact matches.
- Don't forget to allow for whitespace that may be around the commas and may not be.
- Best to look at the source to determine exact parsing specifications. The Wiki does strange things with input. Be as robust as possible.
- Please do not continuously poll this page this page will change only occasionally. Please do not poll this page more than once an hour. Once a day would be preferred.
Guidelines for Editors
- If you are unsure about doing this, contact Cassandra
- Make sure that your information is UNIQUE to you. Do not use someone else's UNIQUE tag for a joke.
- Your map can refer to information in your AIM stream info or your GENRE stream info.
- You can put multiple maps for yourself, but they will probably be checked in order listed, so put the most likely one first (if you never change your AIM, put that one first rather than a show name that might change)
- You must not put anything, or any special code in the mapping section or put Wiki code in the maps themselves.
- You must not change the section begin and end notifiers.
- To Clarify: This does NOT need to be your actual AIM information, but the information that is in your AIM field or a substring (just part) of the information in your AIM. Many DJs do not have their real AIM information in this spot.
- If you change your stream information, make sure this page is updated, or programs and bots may forget who you are.
The initial settings are from Chatbot's mapping.
