Specifications penofol and its unique properties
thermal insulation materials are paving the floor and walls of the houses being built today.The amount offered by manufacturers of heaters so great that some of them have not heard everything.But such material as Penofol, the characteristics of which have fairly good performance, is known to many.No wonder - this heat insulator and will protect against noise, and walls will reduce moisture absorption, and heat transfer in the room will slow significantly.

acquainted with penofol
Insulation This consists of several layers.In the middle is the type of self-extinguishing polyethylene foam, and the edges - high-quality aluminum foil.Its thickness is 12 to 30 microns, and the proportion of the pure substance in it - 99.4 percent.The result is a material of small thickne
Penofol This type has a very close range.
being virtually unable to absorb thermal radiation Penofol works on the principle of its reflection.This is different from the vast majority of heat insulator layers which retain the heat emanating from the premises.It should be noted that the word penofol is not the type of insulation and the brand name.
To understand how the reflected heat penofol, remember how the Dewar flask.This device, usually called Dewar, invented a Scotsman - scientist in the field of physics and chemistry James Dewar.In the early twentieth century, he held a series of experiments in the laboratory to see how to behave in the heat insulated walls of the vessel.The same principle applies to all thermoses.
Now, Dewar found that any substance known to people has a certain heat transfer resistance value "R".And what would be the value of this indicator was not to stop the transfer of heat can not be any one material.Only possible slowdown in this process.This substance absorbs heat waves, accumulating the energy of.Once this energy is oversaturated, start the reverse process - heat.
But there are a number of materials, which is not peculiar to the absorption of thermal energy - they reflect it.This, for example, precious metals such as platinum, silver and gold.And this ability has pure aluminum, highly polished.Rays of thermal energy which reach the surface of the material, are reflected almost completely (98-99 percent).There is only one "but" - these substances are good conductors of heat.Therefore, they must be supplemented by some thermal barriers, for example, foamed polyethylene.He is able to absorb heat.Thus, specifications penofol combine and reflection, and absorption of heat rays.
Studies conducted more than 40 years, and as a result it was found that the loss of facilities and heat accumulation and its directly connected with the radiation of the infrared spectrum.But it can be balanced by applying the reflective type of insulation materials that are easy to install and are very effective and inexpensive infrared reflectors.
People are gradually getting used to the heat-insulating materials such as reflective.They are profitable and convenient, so the experts predict that such heaters gradually occupy the leading position.Their use and equipment wear out less, and the amount of time and money for equipment for the heating and air conditioning systems are significantly reduced.Working with the reflected heat energy is not an example of better than absorbed.
Since heat rays are reflected, in winter heat loss for heating the floor, ceiling and walls will be much less.And when using double-sided reflective insulation and summer, in the heat, neither will the negative effects of the absorption of heat from the outside.
Options penofol
What happens Penofol
now produce a lot of materials under the brand name penofol.Probably, we should list the ones that are most in demand.Among them are the classic Penofol coated aluminum falgu only one side.Such Penofol has type "A".
Penofol foil on one side - the type A.
Penofol which foiling performed on both sides of type "B".Penofol both these types of fairly dense and resistant to physical stress.
Penofol foil on both sides - type B
Penofol type C belongs to the category of self-adhesive materials.It foamed polyethylene layer on one side polished aluminum coating is applied, and on the other - a layer of moisture-resistant film and adhesive, the adhesion preventing material.This type of insulation is used where conventional Penofol not suitable or too expensive, because for it is not necessary to mount additional devices.
Adhesive Penofol - type S.
And there Penofol having perforations.He is also unilateral or bilateral and is released not so long ago and used for thermal insulation of facades on the outside.Perforation allows moisture out of the material outward.In other words, the walls, insulated with a material can "breathe."About
thickness penofol
The thicker the insulation, the more expensive it is.A further price and specifications penofol foil affects the number of layers of aluminum foil: there may be one or two.With regard to thickness, its standard sizes 10, 8, 5, 4 and 3 millimeters.One can understand that the material centimeter thick with a double layer of foil is the most expensive.He, by the way, not only keeps the best heat, but also good protection against noise.
at optimum value for money in the first place came Penofol thickness of 0.5 centimeters.If you need the maximum thermal insulation and protection from noise and moisture, it is better to opt for penofol cm layer.As for the other parameters of insulation, they also depend on the thickness of its layer, and also on its type.
About penofol heat conduction
Since the insulation is a combination that combines reflection and absorption of heat, it is difficult to compare it with the conventional heat insulators.Penofol insulation reduces the convection by a layer of polyethylene foam and a layer of foil on the outside can reflect up to 97% of heat rays.As a result of the isolation of the complex is obtained.
Still, let's try not to compare the thermal conductivity and resistance to heat transfer penofol and other heaters.If we take the material thickness of 4 to 5 millimeters, is coated on both sides with aluminum foil, then obtain the thermal resistance from 1.2 to 1.23 square meter-degree Celsius per Watt.To achieve the same result mineral wool layer must be not less than 8 or 8.5 centimeters.These are calculated in accordance with SNIP II-3-79.About
material soaking water
Penofol almost does not absorb moisture, and no matter what the humidity is in the air outdoors and indoors.Do not depend on this change of seasons and the change of temperature.This compares favorably with the most modern insulation from the heat insulator.About
vapor permeability penofol
film for vapor barrier using penofol lay not necessary.After all, its coefficient of water vapor permeability does not reach even 0,001 milligrams per meter per hour Pascal.We can say that this insulation is an excellent barrier to vapor.
Resistance sound
Speaking of sound absorption penofol, you can call this number: 32 dB.It is the sound absorption material has an "A" class.It is not mounted inside the frame of the building structure, and on top of it, the lack of joints.Therefore, it allows you to protect yourself from the different noise: both from the acoustic and the structural.This versatility - a definite plus.
Fire protection
The material according to the norms of the substances that are difficult to burn or support combustion.SRI STROYFIZIKI penofol issued certificate of conformity, certifying that the material is not a fire hazard.At fire polyethylene allocated water and carbon dioxide.However, if not enough oxygen, and carbon monoxide may arise.
service life and safety
one of the purest in terms of ecology material - this foam.Therefore, it is the basis of it penofol.By the way, and in durability (200 years), this substance can put a perfect score.Along the way, and the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation will be able to protect themselves.They can be reduced to two or even ten times.

Where used Penofol
Based on the foregoing, it can be understood that the insulation Penofol specifications is simply universal.And so it can be used for thermal insulation of light summer houses in suburban towns, and for thermal insulation of apartment buildings.Offices, industrial premises, kindergartens, hospitals, saunas and baths, you can isolate this material.To insulate them from the hangars and warehouses, both heat and unheated.Stalls and modules for trading makeshift and cold rooms can also be warm penofol.And they wrapped pipes (plumbing, ventilation and heating), isolated wagons, vans and cars, shielded radiators.
Penofol which is coated with foil on both sides, not only help to keep warm in cold days.Legal Code under the roof, it will not allow to get into the house znoyu scorching summer.For example, paving Penofol with double-sided foiling, of type "B" and a thickness of 5 mm, leaving a two-layer air 2 centimeters each.The result was not long in coming: the thermal resistance of the structure will be more than 1.2 square meter-degree Celsius per watt.
Disadvantages penofol
Like other insulation materials and Penofol is not without drawbacks, so consider what they are.
1. foamed polyethylene, which is used as a base and serves as an absorbing insulation does not have sufficient rigidity.Therefore, to make over his plastering or use it for wallpapering is not possible.Enough small pressings and flex material.
2. Fixing material to the surfaces can also be difficult.It will have to probably buy special adhesives.Use for mounting a variety of devices that it is not advisable to punch, t. To. Will deteriorate the quality of insulating material.The company is trying to eliminate this disadvantage, so the market and was released Penofol with adhesive surface.
3. Whatever miraculous properties possessed polyethylene foam, the use of only one penofol as the primary insulation of external walls of buildings and structures naturally not enough.In this case, it can be used as additional insulation, which primarily will provide a reflection of thermal energy.There are already all you need to calculate in monetary terms, because there are such kinds of heaters that contain reflective insulation and can be used as the primary insulation.

A four span through truss crosses the Wisconsin River at Wisconsin Rapids..
One of the major barriers faced by the Green Bay Route while constructing its east-west line across the state was the Wisconsin River.
The bridge's origin goes back to July 1872 when the Wood County Board agreed to pay a sum not to exceed $8,000 to the Green Bay and Lake Pepin Railway Company "on condition they erect a good and suitable wagon and foot crossing between Grand Rapids and Centralia and oblige itself to keep same in repair forever." The GB&LP arrived in November 1872.
The railroad chose to cross the river at wide area in the flood plain. In 1904 a dam for a nearby paper mill was built just downstream of the river crossing. I believe that the bridge shown in this 1906 postcard view was built at that time, but I have been unable to confirm that.
This postcard was published by E.C. Kropp of Milwaukee.

Here is your chance to own a WW2 style Romanian Breadbag/haversack. These are made from heavy canvas and leather. A perfect addition to your collection and camping gear.
This design was used during WW2, all the way up through the 2000's as the Romanian Soldier's haversack. This carried enough supplies for a few days, and was equal to our assault pack. These are around 11-12 inches wide, 13 inches tall, and expand out to about 5 inches deep.
Excellent for hunting/fishing/camping. Comes with one leather strap for securing the mess tin, but can be removed and used elsewhere on the haversack for other
pieces of gear.
Made of very heavy, durable canvas. Strap is a comfortable wide shoulder strap, and is adjustable for length. Two internal compartments for separate items if need be.

The study of fosdevirine as a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) was discontinued. In 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration halted all studies of fosdevirine because of seizures that occurred in five participants in a Phase IIb study. It has since been reported that fosdevirine is no longer being developed.4,5
An investigational drug is one that is under study and is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for sale in the United States. Medical research studies are conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug. These research studies are also called clinical trials. Once an investigational drug has been proven safe and effective in clinical trials, FDA may approve the drug for sale in the United States.
To learn more about investigational drugs, read the AIDSinfo What is an Investigational HIV Drug? fact sheet.
Fosdevirine is an investigational drug that was being studied for the treatment of HIV infection.
Fosdevirine belongs to a class (group) of HIV drugs called non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs).2 NNRTIs attach to and block an HIV enzyme called reverse transcriptase. (An enzyme is a protein that starts or increases the speed of a chemical reaction.) By blocking reverse transcriptase, NNRTIs prevent HIV from multiplying and can reduce the amount of HIV in the body.
In vitro, fosdevirine appears to work on certain HIV strains against which other FDA-approved NNRTIs, such as efavirenz (brand name: Sustiva), may no longer work.6 (In vitro refers to studies done in test tubes or other laboratory equipment and not on animals or humans.)
Clinical trials are conducted in phases. Each phase has a different purpose and helps researchers answer different questions.7
In most cases, an investigational drug must be proven safe and effective in a Phase III clinical trial to be considered for approval by FDA for sale in the United States. Some drugs go through FDA's accelerated approval process and are approved before a Phase III clinical trial is complete. After a drug is approved by FDA and made available to the public, researchers track its safety in Phase IV trials to seek more information about the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.7
Fosdevirine has been studied in Phase II clinical trials.2 The development of fosdevirine for the treatment of HIV infection was discontinued.5
Study Names: 1) NV-05A-002 and 2) SGN113020; NCT00945282
Phase: I/IIa
Location: Argentina
Participants: HIV-1-infected adults who have never taken HIV medicines before entering the study (also called treatment-naive). At the time of study entry, participants did not have any major HIV mutations that would cause NNRTI medicines to not work well.
Purpose: The purpose of these studies was to evaluate the safety and antiviral activity of fosdevirine.
Study Design: The two studies NV-05A-002 and SGN113020 looked at the effect of fosdevirine given alone without any other HIV medicines (also called monotherapy) over 7 days.
In both studies, participants started either antiretroviral treatment (ART) or the HIV medicine lopinavir/ritonavir (brand name: Kaletra) after their last dose of fosdevirine.
The following two Phase IIb studies of fosdevirine were also started, but were never completed: (1) the SIGNET study (NCT01231555) looked at fosdevirine in treatment-naive adults, and (2) the SONNET study (NCT01199731) looked at fosdevirine in participants who had taken HIV medicines before entering the study (also called treatment-experienced) and whose HIV did not respond to certain approved NNRTI medicines.5,11,12
Because of seizures that occurred in some participants in the SONNET study, all fosdevirine studies were stopped in 2011. Since then, the development of fosdevirine has been discontinued.4,5
In the Phase I/IIa studies discussed under the previous question (NV-05A-002 and SGN113020), the most common side effects reported across all groups were headache, upset stomach, and nausea. All side effects were mild to moderate in intensity.9
The Phase IIb SIGNET (NCT01231555) and SONNET (NCT01199731) studies were not completed, but 35 participants were given at least one dose of fosdevirine, and a safety analysis was done on these participants. The most common side effects occurring in participants in the SIGNET study while taking fosdevirine were drowsiness and nightmares. The most common side effects occurring in participants in the SONNET study while taking fosdevirine were seizure, diarrhea, itchiness, and inflamed sinuses.5
Information on possible side effects of the drug is not complete. If testing of fosdevirine begins again, additional information on possible side effects will be gathered.
More information about fosdevirine-related research studies is available from the AIDSinfo database of ClinicalTrials.gov study summaries. Click on the title of any trial in the list to see the ClinicalTrials.gov trial summary and more information about the study.
Participating in a clinical trial can provide benefits. For example, a volunteer participant can benefit from new research treatments before they are widely available. Participants also receive regular and careful medical attention from a research team that includes doctors and other health professionals. However, clinical trials may also involve risks of varying degrees, such as unpleasant, serious, or even life-threatening side effects from the treatment being studied.7
Your health care provider can help you decide whether participating in a clinical trial is right for you. For more information, visit NIH Clinical Research Trials and You.

Immigration Statistics
The word immigrant has many different meanings, which may be theoretical, administrative, or statistical. In the theoretical sense, an immigrant is a person who has been born in a particular country but has parents of foreign origin. He or she may also be an individual who crosses the border of a particular country and enters with the intention of remaining there. This means that the person has traveled to become a part of the population by means other than by birth. People cannot be termed as immigrant to United States of America more than once. Implication of any statistics depends mainly on interpretation of the unit in which the statistics are expressed.
The statistical and administrative meaning of immigrant has not been fixed by the statute law, but is derived by definitions and meanings put forth by Bureau of

Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur is consulting lawyers over the possibility of taking the Met to an employment tribunal, sources said today.
The shock development will be a major blow to Commissioner Sir Ian Blair who has already been accused of racism by another senior officer at an industrial tribunal in London. Sir Ian intends to deny the claims at that hearing.
Sources said Mr Ghaffur is considering launching the action because of concerns that he had been sidelined.
The 53-year-old officer has been in charge of the policing plan for the London Olympics but recently the overall strategy for the event has been taken over by the Home Office.
The Met have also refused to extend his contract as Assistant Commissioner beyond a one-year term, even though he has made it clear he wants to deliver the plan for the 2012 Games.
President of the National Black Police Association, Ali Dizaei, said: "It will be a sad day for the police service if one of the UK's most respected senior ethnic minority police officers is forced to challenge his treatment." Mr Ghaffur refused to comment on the claims today.

Manuela Paz Page 1 | Biography |
Emerging artist, Manuela Paz, a graduate from the School of Visual Arts, is a native New Yorker currently residing in New York City and working for The Armory Show. She has been exhibiting her work in and around the New York area in group shows since 2002 and presented her first solo show at Invisible NYC in August 2006. Her photographs have been seen in many prestigious exhibits at such venues as Holland Tunnel and P.S.122s gallery.
Ms. Paz presents photographs of female protagonists gesturing within the frame of a mirrors reflection. They initiate a contemporary psychological exploration while subtly invoking conventions of Renaissance portraiture through their grainy image structure, the framing, and the gestures of the subjects. The work evokes a melancholy suspension with subtle accents and hesitations that suggest ambiguous narratives. Ms. Paz states:
"Beauty here is used as a tool meant to evoke a psychological sub-text rather than its conventional purpose, as a seductive physical characteristic". Ms. Pazs work probes feelings of isolation, however she avoids literal imagery or metaphors. Each image invites the viewer to draw his or her own conclusions and associations. Ms. Pazs images, cropped by the frame of a mirror further distort the sense of time and place. They advance as cells from a surrealist movie that lack either time or narrative but instead invite the viewers sense of nostalgia and fantasy to unfold. The result is a romantically ambiguous voyeuristic experience to a tableau of charged dioramas, doorways to intimate moments of ambiguous narratives. Inspired by the artists own psycho-analytical introspection, the viewer gazes on a woman who seems to have no precise ethnicity, location, or place in time. |
Ms. Paz uses a sensual, suggestive, and feminine language to create a series of scenarios that evoke a suspended emotional and psychological state.

Taiping - The Wettest Town In Malaysia
Taiping was once a thriving mining town and used to be the capital of Perak. Its disused mining pools have been cleverly turned into the beautiful and famous Taiping Lake Gardens.
Other attractions include the hill resort Bukit Larut (Maxwell Hill); Taiping Zoo, which was the first zoo in Malaysia; and the Bukit Jana Golf and Country Club. If youd like to savour a little bit of Taipings history, then the British Residents Residence is the place to visit. Taiping receives the most rainfall making it the wettest town in Peninsular Malaysia. The average annual rainfall is about 4,000mm in Taiping while the peninsulas average is 2,000mm 2,500mm.

KTMB to call for tenders worth RM1.1b
By Sharen Kaur [email protected] June 5 2006 THE national railway company, Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB), plans to call a tender for contracts worth a combined RM1.1 billion this year, its chief said. The projects will help upgrade and expand its rail network, KTMB managing director Datuk Mohd Salleh Abdullah told Business Times in an interview. Under the five-year Ninth Malaysia Plan, the Government has allocated RM4.1 billion for railway infrastructure. Out of this, RM2.9 billion will be spent on ongoing construction activities while RM1.1 billion will go towards new projects. The Government has given its approval in principle for KTMB to implement a double-tracking project from Taiping to Padang Rengas, Perak. This will cost as much as RM800 million. The project will involve building new rail tracks over a 20km stretch, inclusive of 3km tunnelling work. The tunnelling work is at Bukit Berapit. It will involve the building of two tunnels of approximately 1.5km each. We will be preparing the tender documents soon and will call for a tender over the next few months, Mohd Salleh said. The Taiping-Padang Rengas project will enable the high-powered Blue Tiger diesel-electric locomotives to operate. KTMB will also call for a tender to extend the commuter lines from Seremban to Sg Gadut, Negri Sembilan. This will be an extension to the Klang Valley Commuter system. The contract, worth some RM300 million, will involve the construction of 8.5km double tracks, flyovers and br idges. We are in the midst of preparing the tender documents and we hope to call for a tender in the next four months, said Mohd Salleh. KTMB may invite the Gamuda Bhd-MMC Engineering partnership, UEM Builders Bhd and Road Builder Holdings Bhd to present their bids due to their expertise, an industry source said. Gamuda-MMC seems like the likely players to do the tunnelling work because of their expertise in handling the SMART project, while UEM is currently in the midst of completing the Rawang to Ipoh double- tracking job, the source said. The SMART project is a flood mitigation project in Kuala Lumpur in which an underground highway tunnel that doubles as a huge drain is being built. Several other projects which received approval are the Sentul- Batu Caves double-tracking high-speed rail project; the procurement of rolling stocks; and the rehabilitation and upgrade of railway infrastructure involving tracks and bridges. KTMBs current projects include the Rawang-Ipoh electrified double- tracking project, rail infrastructure development at Batu Gajah, and the rehabilitation of Sabahs railways.

Airport in Taiping to be hub for Global Flying Hospitals TAIPING: The Tekah airport, one of the country's oldest having been built by the British in 1940, has been chosen as the hub for Global Flying Hospitals (GFH), an international body that brings humanitarian medical support to developing countries. Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohd Tajol Rosli Ghazali said the flying hospital's local representatives had picked Tekah over a few shortlisted sites recently and a memorandum of understanding (MoU) is expected to be signed within a few months. He said GFH plans to use the Tekah airport as its landing hub to cater for its A310A Airbus aircrafts, to fly in its patients and supplies. Tajol Rosli said Mercy Malaysia had recently signed a MoU with GFH, enabling the former to operate flying hospitals during emergency crises around the region. (At the signing ceremony, GFH founder and chairman Neil Newton had said that the body intends to form a fleet of 10 large aircraft and supplementary helicopters and smaller planes to help Mercy create a broader footprint to meet the needs of the people in various regions in emergencies and disasters.) Tajol Rosli said that the Tekah airport refurbishment was part of a RM3bil investment by the private sector, subject to Federal government approval. "The expansion of the Tekah airport's runway will entail the acquisition of 450ha of land and some (terrace) houses located around its fringes," he said, adding that no terminal would be built other than a few small offices to house the Immigration and Customs Departments. Tajol Rosli anticipated the project to spur growth for the town. |

Cable car for Bkt Larut?
Friday April 27, 2007 TheStar TAIPING: A private company is keen to operate a cable car system to ferry visitors up to Bukit Larut which is now only accessible by jeep. State Public Utility and Infrastructures Committee chairman Datuk Ho Cheng Wang said while the state government welcomed the idea, it was also concerned over the stance of residents here who had protested a similar proposal in the past. The company now operates a cable car system in Langkawi. It feels that a cable car system here is viable, based on the number of visitors here, especially the Taiping Zoo which records about 700,000 visitors annually, Ho told a press conference yesterday. In Langkawi, the cable car system is used by only about 100,000 visitors annually. Ho, who is a member of a panel set up by Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohd Tajol Rosli to vet the proposal, said they would get public feedback first. We dont want the residents here to pro- test against the project once the company is given the green light by the state government, he added. In the early 1990s, a teachers cooperative had suggested a cable car service in exchange for prime land at the Lake Garden here to build hotels. The proposal met with protests from environmentalists who said the project would affect the water catchment area around the foothill of Bukit Larut. Ho said representatives of the company had been informed that it would not be given land located within the Lake Garden, except for a small plot to enable it to set up its ticketing booths, a small cafe or a souvenir shop. No rampant felling of trees on the hill will be permitted as we dont want to spoil the environment, added Ho. Ho, who is also Pokok Assam state assemblyman, said visitors to the hill had complained that the existing jeep service could not meet the demand especially during the school holidays or long weekends. Only six jeeps are available to ferry visitors up and down the hill. |

Although it can be difficult to accept that your child needs glasses, you can feel positive about your child being able to see clearly with corrective lenses. Encouraging a child to wear glasses, especially an infant or toddler, can be a challenge. As you strive to help your child get used to wearing glasses, use positive reinforcement to get through the transition. With diligent effort and consistent guidelines, you can keep glasses on kids in a positive way.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Elastic straps
- Cable temple frames
Show More
- 1
Select eyeglasses with elastic straps that connect to the frames to hold the eyeglasses in place on a very young child's face. These glasses can be suitable for infants, toddlers and active children who may have problems with eyeglasses falling off during activity.
- 2
Choose eyeglasses with special cable temple frames. These frames curl around the ears to hold them in place securely. Cable temple frames can work for toddlers, young children and even older children who live active lifestyles.
- 3
Fit the glasses on your child with the help of a professional. Make certain that the glasses fit properly and comfortably with no pinching or irritation whatsoever. This is especially important if your child is too young to tell you that the glasses don't feel comfortable.
- 4
Lay the ground rules about the glasses with a very young child to help her accept the glasses. Tell your child that parents or adults are the only people that can remove the glasses. This tells her that she, herself, cannot take them off. Other children cannot take the glasses off either.
- 5
Replace the glasses back on your child immediately if he takes them off. It is important never to let your child take the glasses off -- whether your child removes them to play with them or simply removes them. When the time arrives to remove the glasses, you must remove them -- not your child.
- 6
Encourage your child to keep the glasses on with positive reinforcement. Distract your child as she gets used to the glasses. Choose fun activities to engage your child while she wears the glasses to keep her busy and to reward her for wearing the glasses.
- 7
Stop the fun activity immediately if your child removes his glasses. Put the glasses back on and start the activity again. This will positively reinforce having fun with wearing the glasses. It will also show your child that if he takes the glasses off, the fun stops.
Tips and warnings
- A very young child may need to build up the time spent wearing glasses gradually. Put the glasses on in the morning and encourage your child to wear them with positive activities as long as your child stays cooperative. Try to increase the glasses time every day until your child accepts wearing them for as long as needed.

'The 33'
Director: Patricia Riggen
Stars: Antonio Banderas, Juliette Binoche
Rating: PG-13
2 (out of 5) Globes
Tragedies, and especially tragedies that end happily, such as the 2010 Chilean mine collapse, are no-brainers for movies. They're such no-brainers that sometimes filmmakers don't think about the best way to re-tell them, or if they can be re-told at all. There are a lot of moving parts in "The 33," about the miners who spent 69 days trapped miles under near-impenetrable rock outside of Copiapo. There's the near-victims themselves. There are the engineers who worked around the clock to save them. There's the family members who never left a makeshift camp near the mine. And there's the international response, from those who came in to help to the entire world watching their belated escape live.
RELATED: Antonio Banderas on what it's like to shoot in a mine for "The 33"
A more deftly controlled film could have weaved between these segments; a more bold film would have chosen one, like, say, staying entirely with the miners and charting their collective mental fall and rise. But the most likely outcome — and the one in "The 33" — amounts to cutting corners. Everything gets short shrift, everything is told in broad strokes and everything that happens seems like it should be stirring but only remains theoretically engaging. It's a plot summary of a movie, nobly and earnestly made but rarely getting the passion, despite some eager scenery-chewing from Antonio Banderas and Juliette Binoche.
Banderas himself is actually nowhere near the real version of the man he's playing, Mario Sepulveda, who became the exuberant public face of the miners after they finally, after three weeks, made contact with the outside world, who weren't even sure they were alive. He became christened "Super Mario," though Banderas' version is more chill (for Banderas, that is). Given the large ensemble of players and relatively short running time, "The 33" only has room for a handful of characters with any real screentime, but even the most visible can barely make a dent. Binoche, technically miscast as a Chilean yet at least fiery, plays the loudest, most slappiest, most rock-throwing-est of the waiting family members. But even she largely disappears halfway through, lost amongst a film too big to even keep track of La Binoche.

6 Grocery Store Tricks You Shouldn't Fall For, But Probably Do
This is a guest post by Nick Simpson who works at Saving Star.

After literally millennia of selling goods to consumers, grocers have the art of the sale down to a science. The fact of the matter is that our buying habits, while diverse, aren't all that complex. There are some basic techniques – tricks, even – that grocery stores use to increase their sales.
While you probably consider yourself a savvy shopper who's immune to such manipulation, chances are pretty good you fall for some of these tricks, at least occasionally.
Here are some of the top grocery store tricks, as well as how you can avoid them:
Placement of convenience items. Do you know what the most common item that people shop for at the grocery store on an as-needed basis is? Milk. It makes you long for the days when the milk man delivered a quart each morning. Today, the milk is almost invariably located at the back of the store. The idea is that you'll walk past those enticing fresh-baked cookies, or perhaps see that "two for one" sale on your favorite soup, and wind up making another purchase. Think about it: when was the last time you walked out with only the gallon of milk you went in for?
Premium items stored at eye level. If you're looking for a can of green beans to go into a casserole recipe, you might not care whether you're getting Green Giant, Del Monte, or even the store brand. Guess which one is placed at right around five feet from the floor? The most expensive of the three. The least expensive (usually the generic) is going to be placed at the bottom. Chances are there's even a bright yellow tag somewhere between the two offering a discount – a discount that still makes the premium item more expensive.
Marking up complementary items. Retailers like to offer what are called "loss leaders." Loss leaders are items that they sell at a loss (or in most cases it's actually a minimal profit) in order to get you into the store. What you may not realize, however, is that stores often pair loss leaders with other, more expensive items. For example, if you walk into an electronics department to purchase a discounted remote control for your TV, there's a pretty good chance that a display with the most expensive batteries for that remote will be right next to it (or at least nearby).
Volume sales. Stores can get very creative when it comes to getting you to purchase a number of items. One regional grocery store is famous for it's "Buy 10, get the 11th free!" sales. With these sales, there are usually 20 or 30 items on sale, each for Php 50. For some of the items, this represents a 10-20% savings; for others, it's pretty close to the normal retail price. By requiring you to buy 10 of the items, the store may not be making as much on each individual item but they're getting you to spend more (and making more overall because of it).
Coupon confusion. Grocery stores take a number of different approaches to coupons. Some, for example, will match their sales to the coupons that they know manufacturers are currently putting out. This means you wind up saving significantly on a given item. However, some stores that offer store-based coupons will make sure that the full retail price is charged (before the coupon is applied) giving you a deal that's not quite as good. Add in the sometimes-confusing policies on whether a given coupon should be doubled, and you'll often wind up paying more than what you meant to.
Rewards for returning. One of the more popular approaches stores are using today is a cash back system where you have to come back into the store at a later date to use a given reward. So, for example, you might earn Php 250 in rewards on a given shopping trip. In your mind, you've saved Php 250 – even if you paid full retail price. However, statistics tell us that less than half of those rewards will be used before they expire. If you don't get back to the store to use the rewards, you didn't save a dime. Not only that, if you use the rewards coupon on another full-price item, you're saving even less in the grand scheme of things.
By understanding some of the tricks retailers use to get you to spend more money, you can more appropriately plan your grocery trips so as to maximize savings.

Wow I never paid attention to the placement of milk in the stores near me but true to what you said the milk section is in the back of all the grocery stores over here in Virginia. Also you're right about the volume sales. My favorite grocer has a list of items on this sale list and if you buy 10 you get even more discounts.
Interesting article and no most of this stuff I never really gave a second thought to but will now 🙂
The milk section is in the back of the supermarket here in my town too 🙂
Great tips most of these i was aware of but the coupon information is quite interesting.
Milk is at back of store because it is a fast moving item with a sell by date that people watch. Milk is loaded in fridge from back inside storeroom so oldest date is always at front and they don't block aisle. Many other items are handled same way.

Audrina Patridge from The Hills has shared some photos of her daughter Kirra!
Audrina and Corey Bohan welcomed Kirra into the world eight weeks ago and they couldn't be happier.
"Everyone is asking to see baby Kirra, and I can't hold back any longer! We are so beyond in love with her!! I never imagined I could love someone with all that I have, but my love for her grows each and every day," Audrina wrote on her blog.
Audrina also shared an update about how she's finding motherhood.
"I absolutely love being a mom — Kirra is my number one priority. If I'm being completely honest, the first month of no sleep, C-Section recovery, unpacking, and getting back into the swing of things was pretty grueling. But, at the end of the day, all I had to do was take one look at Kirra and none of that mattered anymore. Plus, we had tons of help from our amazing friends and family! My new in-laws came out from Australia to stay with us for a bit, so we've had a few extra hands around the house."
So cute! We love seeing Audrina looking so happy with her little one.

Nettle and bacon (or BACON and sssh nettle!) quiche
Nettle quiche. I
served up a vat of nettle
soup one lunchtime while my French
friends were staying and they thought it was très bon. We got on to talking
about how their village holds an annual food/foraging festival, each year focusing
on a different plant, with lots of different dishes made from said ingredient.
They said that one year it had been nettles, and that they were very good in
I scribbled nettle quiche onto my menu plan for this week,
then rashly declared to the world that I was indeed going to be making nettle
quiche when I posted my menu plan as a comment on Jen's Place's post on
Monday. Kind of meant it would be a cop out not to.
As ever with these things, a little more time would have
been good. I managed to get some pastry knocked together using the only recipe
which works for me which is Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's pastry recipe in
River Cottage Everyday – the recipe for poached leek and blue vinney tart (delicious
altogether by the way). It's probably his standard pastry recipe but now I know
where it is, I always use it from that book. I'd forgotten how labour intensive
collecting the nettles can be, but as they were just at the bottom of the
garden, I managed a colander's worth and to dump them in a sink of cold water
before I had to leave to get the kids from school. I also managed not to get my
hands stung, and, remembering the pain (metaphorical and physical - and that despite wearing rubber gloves) that
stripping out the stalks was when I made the soup I tried to just take the top 2-4 leaves, to
save me the trouble later on.
When I got back from the school run, I managed to fill the
time I had before Pink needed escorting to Rainbows by lining and blind baking
the pastry case, frying up the onions and bacon (yes, I felt nettle quiche
would be more attractive to the hordes if it was nettle AND BACON quiche – or perhaps
nettle and bacon quiche - a cop out perhaps, but who cares?) and wilting the nettles. To be honest
aside from the stinging potential, I treated them just like spinach, and the
taste is not dissimilar, although less earthy – which might be a good thing in
some people's book (although I just adore spinach). So I steamed the leaves,
chopped them up and squeezed out the water, then just scattered the mashed up
green stuff – because let's face it that's what it looks like – over the onions
and bacon in the base of the quiche.
The rest of the quiche last night was 2 large eggs and a
small bantam egg plus the egg white left over from the pastry recipe (which uses
a yolk) the remains of a carton of crème fraiche – probably a good rounded
tablespoon plus a bit and some salt and pepper all whisked up and poured on top
followed with some grated cheddar. If I hadn't had the egg white to use, I
might have thinned the custard mixture out with a little milk.
I baked it at 1800 for about 30 minutes – until the
custard is set enough and the top is a light golden brown (ish).
Et voila, as they say in France
I wouldn't say it was a hands down raging success, but worth the effort. Objectively, it was good. The
Husband and I enjoyed it with new potatoes and some p.s.b. and Blue and Pink
ate most of it without too much moaning, which is about as much as I was hoping for as neither of them are particularly keen on spinachy type greens. Blue was defeated by the last
bit by the pastry crust - interestingly, this is my favourite bit - just because I'm not great at making pastry doesn't mean I'm not a pig
when it comes to eating it ...
Finally, just because I am so rubbish at making pastry, please do admire the pastry case that I managed to produce for the quiche - not a crack to be seen - I was so pleased with it. But then, I don't get out much...

Hi All~
Our family is looking to do a home exchange to Europe with another family next summer. We have 3 kids ages 11, 9 and 6. We have received a number of interesting offers to go to France. Although my oldest and I went to Spain last year, this would be my husband and younger childrens' first trip to Europe.
We are most looking forward to experiencing another culture, enjoy outdoor activities, and would have a maximum of 2 weeks to spend.
So, where in France would you suggest we go?
We are currently considering an offer to visit Provence (near Aix-en-Provence) for next July. My concern is that we can not go to France without seeing Paris, so while I feel like the country fits our family's interests better, I wonder if it would be better to look for an exchange to Paris? Or should we just visit Paris at one end of a trip to Provence, or possibly the Dordogne region?

mmm - something to consider with small [and not so small kids] is the weather. How usd is your family to high temperatures? July in Provence can be lovely but it can also be very hot. if I were travelling there [or to the Dordogne that time of year] especially with kids I would want a pool available. Does the property that you are considering have one?
you could certainly combine Provence with Paris and/or with the Dordogne; Paris has all the sights [many in truth with limited attractions for younger kids] the Dordogne has loads to do for families and IMHO would be a better choice.
anyway, who says you can't go to France without seeing Paris? of course you can, if that's what you want to do! -
Report Abuse
I doubt if your kids will all love Paris or benefit from the visit, though DH might. I'd focus on the great idea which is a homeswap in rural france. This means focus on the house, is there a pool or a river nearby, can you hire canoes or bikes, is there a church, bar, restaurant, shopping nearby?
If you do insist on stopping off in Paris then realise that you will be tired after the flight and ratty. So I would do it at the end of the trip and try to focus on just a few things, Eifel Tower, boat trip on the seine, visit the gardens that sort of thing so that you all take back the best rather than just looking at world standard art when you want to be outside etc. -
Report Abuse
Thank you so much for the wonderful advice Annhig! Yes, they have a pool, which would be a big treat for the kids after a day of sightseeing.
I think we should spend some time exploring Paris because I don't know when/if we will get back to France. -
Report Abuse
I'm not sure why bilboburgler thinks your kids won't enjoy Paris. Mine absolutely loved it and looked forward to visiting it every summer at the end of our stay in the Dordogne. But anyway, I would look for a place in the Dordogne, preferably one with a swimming pool, as it's HOT in July. There's more to do there than in Provence for kids. And you can visit Paris on the way to or from the exchange, if you choose to.

Thanks Bilbo. I really relied on this board's advice when planning our trip to Spain and we had a GREAT time. I am most appreciative for the help now as well!

StC, my thoughts were general at 6 or 9 did I want to see a big hot city or a pool in the garden? The Pool!

Thanks StCirq. The Dordogne seems like a great location for families, so I appreciate the affirmation.
Report Abuse
of course go to Paris if you want to, but don't have too many expectations that there will be loads of child-centred activities, though as st. cirq says, they may enjoy what there is there. specific things that our [slightly older] kids liked in Paris were the eiffel tower, Notre Dame, the food, a trip on the seine. the jardins due Luxembourg are also a fun place to run about, as are the gardens at Versailles. 2-3 days will probably be enough though.
i agree with St. Cirq that putting it at the end of the trip when you have got your France "legs" is a good idea; OTOH you might do it first as the excitement of being in Paris might carry you through some initial tiredness and then yo could relax in the south. [or southwest].
how long can you do your exchange for? if just a week you could start off in Paris, then go to the dordogne for a few days, and end in Provence. if it has to be a fortnight, then that's a bigger problem. -

So let me ask this...
How does the area of Provence near Aix-en-Provence rank compared to Dordogne? We have a home exchange from a nice family in that area, and I am very tempted to accept it! -

Here's the Dordogne:
Some of the pictures were taken while canoeing for a day on the Dordogne River.

I think most kids could love Paris,, if mom and dad do a bit of homework, and if they build in time for parks and ice cream. I took my dd when she was 11, and my son at 14, and I first visited there myself at 9 or 10.
I also agree kids do like pools, lakes , rivers, beaches and relaxing. A mix makes good sense.
Since most airlines seem to offer cheaper flights into bigger city centers it makes sense to fly into and out of Nice or Paris. And I am not sure if going at end of trip is a good idea or not,, there is the novelty factor of starting in Paris when kids are a bit fresh and then relaxing the rest of the holiday.. so I can't decide. I do know if you plan on taking trains south( be it Provence or Dordogne) that tickets purchased sooner rather then later are cheaper. -

Hi again,
there is a current TR from someone who took her kids to Paris which may help with your planning - here's the link:
you could of course do the house exchange this time and leave the Dordogne til the next! -

Thanks to all for the ideas, and practical advice. I have a friend who took her kids to Provence last year for a homestay and loved it, so chances are we will accept the offer.

Some nice things for kids in the Provence:
* many small towns have bull runs in the summer - - they fence off the entire center of the town for the running; the towns are kind of buzzing all day, and then the bulls run up and down within inches of you behind barricades or sitting on stone walls - - definitely worth seeking out;
* the coastal beaches at Ste. Marie de la Mers and le Grau de Roi are very pleasant, vibrant, colorful places;
* check out all the market days near where you are staying; even in small towns, market days will keep them enchanted, you will pick up some great fresh tasties, and the kids will find some happy knick-knacks or fashion accessories;
* consider especially market day in Arles, which is fab (dovetail with a visit to the Arena) - - and towns like Arles where there might also be days where people wear traditional costumes and have a parade - - this is all Googlable, but you have to really Google thorough to find things, especially the small-town festivals;
* no brainers: Les Baux; the ramparts that go for kilometers around Aigue Mortes; Pont du Gard (consider also the canoe/kayak rides that start upstream from the Pont du Gard and let you glide downstream and pick you up underneath) -
Report Abuse
Your kids might also enjoy "Taureaux piscines" events (literally "bull pools"); they are sort of spoofs on bullfighting but don't involve violence, just bulls inside huge pools. And the Camargue is endlessly fascinating: gaucho cowboy types, flamingos, sand wine, ride paddies, and the beautiful Aigues-Mortes.
And the castle in Terascon with the falcons.
It's nowhere near as kid-friendly a region as the Dorgogne, but your kids will happily never know that. -

thank you! time to present this idea to the family and look into making it happen. will let you all know when we decide.

- Management of your advertising budget
- Visibility on search engines
- Important data to use with future marketing
